I was talking about me because i have many private builds of 10.1 there not ready for release yet. The sensation's hardware is much lower then ours. I believe it's the RAM that does them in.

Hi Chevy

Nice work .... But I waana ask if the HTC radio is working or not because mine is not. Everything is else is good and butter this time...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
HTC radio does not work. The spirit fm radio does. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Saanus1:
Ok....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=1821867]chevycowboyusa[/MENTION] what settings did you use to enable the Spirit FM version included in the ROM? After reading the last couple of posts I tried everything I could to get it working, then gave up after an hour and installed the paid version (which I purchased some time ago for my HD2). The paid version worked right away with no issues with the auto setting. Very strange.
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
moved
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
It appears that since I didn't bother to move over the stock Bluetooth files that the spirit fm won't work either.

It is good to know that the paid version does work.

Ravike14 and I are very interested in this app because it does what we need the Bluetooth to do.

It actually accesses the Bluetooth the way our Rom should.

We were hopingthat whatever [MENTION=1881161]mikeRed[/MENTION]is did with his app that we could duplicate to get our Bluetooth working. There are higher level functions that need to do things, but the fact that this app successfully turns on the Bluetooth chip, and you can hear the local radio stations means that there's hope.

:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Are you talking about viper? Or black Russian? The issues that you speak of are problems with the jb Rom. I could not duplicate them in viper 2.0.2.

You either have a corrupt file system, or something very wrong with your phone.

Or you posted in the wrong thread XD. Lol

Try a totally fresh super wipe. Wipe in 4 4ext, then Superwipe in the aroma, don't boot the Rom after flashing. Go back to mounts and storage in the recovery and make sure everything is unmounted. Then reboot.

Hope that helps.

Oh, can we take the bugs to the proper thread?

Is there any way to install Xposed Framwork on this ROM, since Superuser is not updateable.

I keep getting the error message: Failed to create a backup of /system/bin/app_process
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Sure you can, but you have to get over your misconceptions first. For one, you can change/update superuser. I prefer SuperSU to the other superusers and own the paid version, so the first thing I flash after installing the ROM is the latest version from the SuperSU dev thread. Next I flash Titanium Backup (the paid version allows you to create a flashable zip to install from recovery) and reboot. Once back in the ROM I then set up SuperSU as I like it, then uninstall superuser with Titanium. That takes care of the Superuser issue once and for all.

On exposed, you need to read their thread. They now offer three methods of installation, two of which are designed specifically to overcome limitations of stock based ROMs like Sense. The method you use for this ROM is method #3 which creates a flashable zip for recovery that installs the framework directly in /system partition. This allows the modules to function correctly that are installed in a normal fashion in /data/app.

I hope this helps explain things.

my viper 2.0.2 is not installing

Hi chevey,

greetings from thiru.

I should thank you for the work rendered on viper by you and ravike is fantastic.. and finally i was able to use it 1.7.2/

But today when i downloaded the new version 2.0.2 its not installing.. says installation is aborting....

i have wiped the total memory card and unmounted it and restarted the mobile but its not working at all..

can you guide me?

am using my amaze 4G unbranded version.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Check the size of the file you downloaded compared to the size of the file uploaded. Sometimes the server gives a lot of trouble so it is wise to check file size and md5 before flashing
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Read the post directly above mine. [MENTION=4782862]Darin_Ram[/MENTION] is correct, the likely culprit is a corrupted download. If you are downloading directly to your phone then I recommend installing "Hash Droid" which is available from the F-Droid (free open source) Android repo here https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.hobbyone.HashDroid

It's a very small free open source tool for file integrity checks that is easy to use. Just scan the downloaded file save the result to it's clipboard and compare to the expected checksum. It's that easy.

If you are downloading to a computer running Linux or BSD, all you need to do is open your preferred shell and cd into the directory containing the downloaded zip (or any file you want to check) and type md5sum "filename" (filename being the actual name of the file to be checked without the quotes). The hash verification is then printed to the terminal where you can compare with what was expected.

On Windows I have no clue, as I've been running Gentoo as my OS for over 10 years, and I never needed to hash check back when I was using it.

I hope this helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
If you are up using 4ext recovery, you can check the md5sum from the tools menu I think. It's definitely in there.

But like Odysseus said, check the file size and md5sum against the size and md5sum that is posted above the download link.
[HTC Amaze 4G] thiruanand:

Failed install of 2.0.2 on unbranded (Asian maybe)

As I didn't find any info into this thread, I'll leave help request here. ☺

(Copy of the text sent to Chevy)

I use an unbranded device.

Recently I tried to move on 2.0.2 Viper rom

after a full wipe

(except internal sd, of course) and I stucked in a bootloop.

It was kind of trying to restart preconfiguration, pre-launch part, it wasn't constant bootscreen all the time. But it was a loop.

I tried to wipe caches, there was odexing, but then the same looping again.

Then I decided to install it upon a completely working 1.7.* version. It ended up with the same result.

By the way, recovery rom option in aroma didn't worked in both situations — it just couldn't find something needed into system. (Like installation process of 2.0.2 missed something)

I would do a logcat, but I was lazy and didn't wanted to lose my time anymore.

If you want some, tell me, I would do in a free time.

Perhaps, you got the answer that might be the reason in my case.

I found an installation log.

Here's lines with fails:

-- Creating toolbox symlinks
symlink: failed to symlink /system/vendor/firmware/hdcp.keys to /factory/hdcp.keys: No such file or directory

Nightmare Kernel for ICS...
Mount /system partition ...
about to run program [/sbin/busybox] with 3 args
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 on /system failed: Device or resource busy

(then there was /system/lib/modules extraction, writing boot.img, "stock kernel installed")

unmount of /system failed; no such volume

The result is 0, but it seems there were mistakes.

Little general comments

P.s. Honestly, I'm thinking to go back to Fourth bar Nexus experience because I don't need any htc stuff (or almost any :) the HTC gallery (especially 2.0.2 one which I extracted) seems to be very good, maybe something else too).

But I deleted huge bunch of stuff and Rosie too, I use Apex.

The only reason, I think, I'm interested in Viper rom — it's the style. ) And the developing concept .

P.p.s. Especially, I like the stripes and rounded corners on the volume bar.

(but not the soundpack :))

But.. :) Pretty sure, I can do shots on 2.0.2 as well as on 1.7.2.4

But I use just an original rom

[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Agreed. Boot Manager Lite might be a solution. Considering it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] city2026:
Adjust boot sound volume (with a setting)

Chevy, do you have any ideas how the android (linux or whatever) manipulates the boot sound volume level?

When I do full reboot it's too quiet, barely hearable. When I do soft reboot, it's very loud.

I got very interesting bootanimation, I worked for two days to make it good for Amaze, the audio synced to picture and it's very interesting. )

(J.a.r.v.i.s. ui bootanim specially for Amaze)

So, I want it to be at medium level — hearable when it's supposed to be heard and not to loud when it's not.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I'm not too sure. There are a few config files. You could also change the sound volume of the mp3 file as well.

In the system files, look for an xml file I think it's in the customize/cid. Or mns folder. There is a line for the boot animation and sound. I removed the line for the sound.
[HTC Amaze 4G] city2026:
Very very interesting :)

there's something on it

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip" image="" fps="20" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>

But also I couldn't find any explanation on it on the web (sound level setting, bootconfig explanation)

Btw, why shutdown animation isn't playing any more?) I've only popup "shutting down"

And.. is there any % that that 'fps="20"' can override bootanim as well as shutdown one?

***

It was very hard to build good bootanim.zip with smooth fps experience. I made a composition of png shots from a video, it was 24 sec with 24fps of PNGs.

I tried various comparison and even tried 8bit mode. (Which was good even only for the resulting zip size)

But I couldn't get smooth experience. I made a strange version -- 15 fps png shots were playing synced to audio with 13fps in desc.txt setting

And also if I tried rebuild zip with some extra, like another shot added, or maybe even just few strings in desc edited, there might be fps bug returned. (unsync, slowmo)

I've given up on the Jarvis building. )
