Small Update

Ok, I have an update.

Links are in the first post.

If you are having trouble installing Viper,

1. Make sure you upgrade your firmware to ICS First!

2. Install Viper 1.7.2 make sure you choose a kernel!

3. Install the 1.7.2.1 update.

4. Reboot.

if anything fails from there, make sure you post your issues in the General or Q&A troubleshooting sections. NOT HERE! Thanks

For those who didn't have an issue with the installation, you can just flash the 1.7.2.1 update

included:

Faux Kernel for those with non booting issues.

HTCBATT file which fixes the battery issue

a few other bin files that might help with speed and smoothness

A few apps by request, mostly HTC bloat

a few libs required by the HTC apps

and an updated build.prop file

and that's it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Excellent

I'll try it out! :)

I'll also replicate the battery mod and see how it works on my Sense 4.1 ROMs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
my phone is booting up right now just wanted to say amazing boot animation man
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Thank you! I'm trying to come up with something original for the jelly bean Rom that I'm working on so when racked done with a releasable kernel, we'll have something right away!

Enjoy!

when bluetooth problem will solved plzzz fix it plz
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
i reported a bug on bugs thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I saw it

I saw it...
[HTC Amaze 4G] c0de_junkie:
hey Chevy, just wondering if you were able to take care of the issue that I posted in the Bug thread about Twitter for HTC Sense? here is a link to the question that I asked (CLICK HERE) my question is post #322, to which you said that you would take care of it in the next update, so I was just wondering if you were able to fix it? Many thanks again for such an amazing rom for our Amazes!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] youbadguy:
this is the best battery rom I have ever used，but sometimes my phone cannot boot in ~~waiting~thank！
[HTC Amaze 4G] ivicask:
This happens because Twitter updated its API, and HTC didint update their apps for ICS, it only works in JB roms+, so you cant do nothing about it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] c0de_junkie:
ok thats fine but I also noticed that you tried to fix facebook calendar sync but when I try to sync it up it fails... is there any way to fix this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
My Facebook calendar sync perfectly, go to calender settings and enable sync on fb account.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lalit387:
Sorry for ot but just wanna update on JB kernel.

Thanks for your hard work guys
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Kernel update

[MENTION=4465771]lalit387[/MENTION] It's still a work in progress, but we're getting further. SebastianFM is helping Ravike. It currently works but has some bugs. Chevy and I are here to assist him if he needs help.

I'm as eager as you, we need the kernel badly but we gotta wait for it to be ready. ;)

Soon as it comes out, I promise we will have JB Sense! :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Haha its okay you can ask away but the news is a lil bad.... I've implant audio sensors and every component in the kernel except radios and ti chipset stuff... For audio and camera I have to make new drivers.... But bout the radios and ti chipset implants Sebastian and me having big doubts cuz they need sources for 3.4 kernel architecture... And porting from stock source stuff breaks the original source so yeah those fixes are HTC standard ones cuz they need to be build newly ... But I'm Giving my best shot in porting old ones fingers crossed :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] amin1457:

[HTC Amaze 4G] statsman007:
I had Viper Amaze 1.7.1 installed on the phone, but I reverted back to CM 10.2 because I needed the Bluetooth function.

For 1.7.2, it installed succesfully, reboot, the splash screeen came up for 5 to 10 seconds (slightly longer than usual), then shutdown. Now, the phone is TOTALLY dead. (no charging light, no power up, nothing).

Any advice? I removed the battery for ~1 hour, and nothing. The phone was working fine on 1.7.1 and now totally dead. What changed with 1.7.2?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Pull battery and replace battery. Do not turn on. Plug into charger.

Does red charging led come on?

If so, let charge until light turns green.

Only minor mods from 171 to 172.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Darian_A:
Been using this rom for a little while now (1.7.2.1) and it's become one of my favorites. Question chevycowboyusa- went online the other day and now my phone is telling me there is a new system update? If that message is false, how do I get rid of it? Rebooting the phone doesn't help. Thanks. :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
Turn-off your 'Software Updates', by going into Settings>About>Software Updates>Scheduled check(unchek it) ...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I haven't come across that issue. Please don't upgrade it.

What version does it say it wants ti upgrade to?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Darian_A:
Thanks for the suggestion. :good:

And chevycowboyusa, the dialog box says the Viper Rom I have is illegal and that if I choose to download the update it would remedy that. Strange. Maybe it's HTC's servers detecting that it's a custom rom? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
It's ok. Don't do the update and I'll figure out how to make that stop.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Darian_A:
Came across another issue. Got a message notification from a friend but when I hit the power button to turn on the screen, it simply wouldn't come on. Tried pressing the power button repeatedly, but no go. At first I thought maybe the phone shutdown because the notification light wasn't even blinking anymore, but holding down the power button didn't turn it back on either. Had to pull out the battery. That worked, but now the notification about system update has returned even though I unchecked system updates like Librastar suggested. Maybe my phone is possessed. :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hadigery:
Stuck at boot

Hello I've gained s-off supercided my amaze 4g /Asian version/ flashed stock ics rom which and it has worked, I've flashed firmware from 1-st post and tried to flash the rom but when I flashed this rom, the phone stuck at boot... it vibrates every 15 seconds. Did anybody have this problem earlier? I don't know what could gone wrong. Thanks :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
You did a full wipe?? What kernel did you flash??
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
same prob

doesnt matter which kernal.i flash the prob is with both of the ill try downloading and re flashing from another server and from a.sense 4 rom and by the way i also wanted to ask if i can flash both the kernals at the same time
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
Same issue but after redownloading I gave up and went to another rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hadigery:
I've flashed both kernels, checked with installing asian/unbranded/tmobile version too
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Flashing two kernels cancels out the first one.the kernel writes an image to the boot partition (22) and copies associated files to /system/lib/modules.

After you flashed the second kernel, it overwrote the other files.

This seems to be a kernel issue. Please check the md5sum from where you downloaded the kernel and make sure it matches.

I'll do some work tonight to include some things I recently learned while porting sense 5.

I might even redo the aroma too.

Sadly without an unbranded amaze there are some things I cannot try out.

After the next release maybe we can get an updated Bug list and go from there!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
okay i was able to flash it but wifi doesnt seem to work and i flashed a faux kernal while there is a nightmare kernal showing in settings
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Good News! Viper Amaze 1.7.2.3 coming up!

New build loading soon....

I have found the error that has plagued the last few builds.

There was a wrong statement in the installer and no kernel was being flashed.

So,

I have fixed the issue. I also made some modifications.

1) I removed HTC Locations and associated apps, widgets, and libs

2) replaced the libril.so and other RIL related files to match the current radio (posted in the PH85IMG.zip in the OP)

[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
soon

very soon

it'll be up on goo.im first

[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Still uploading. Give it about thirty more minutes before you download.

And check the md5sum before you flash!

New link in the op!
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkshadow1997:
Sweet thanks.but will it boot on unbranded amaze 4g because 1.7.2.2 was stuck at boot when I flashed that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Booting on amazes

Yes! it was a kernel flashing error within the aroma installer.

It's fixed now.:cowboy:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
need help

How do i get to know that my phone is Unbranded/Asian/T-mobile?and what does it make difference if i choose wrong one during installation :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Obviousness

If it has the "T-Mobile" logo on it, then it's a T-Mobile Amaze.

If it just says "HTC" on it, then it's unbranded.

You most likely have an unbranded one judging that you got yours in Pakistan.

It doesn't really make a difference if you choose the wrong one in the installation.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
You live in Peshawar, so unless you purchased from T-Mobile in the US, or second hand from a T-Mobile customer, it's either an Asian or unbranded device. Unbranded or Asian, if you're already rooted, s-off, super cid, and on the latest ICS radio baseband and hboot, you're OK to flash. If you aren't then do a search on how to attain, and do so before attempting to flash this ROM. If you flash an incompatible radio or hboot you can brick your amaze. Thats why there are specific procedures for the different devices.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Dammit! I broke data!

I'll have another update in a few to fix it.

If you have already flashed, flash your last one back offer this one. If you have issues boot.img, flash the faux kernel after you flash the Rom.

Sorry folks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
Yup am having issue with my boot.img, so know what should i do :confused:

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

No,it doesnt have the T-mobile logo, but I remember wen i bought it ,gave a Globolive logo in start.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Am already rooted, s-off, super cid, and on the latest ICS radio baseband and hboot,so I shouldnt be worried, or should I. :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
for now

Download faux kernel, the latest.

Flash your last version of viper, (or restore if you had one)

then flash faux123 kernel after

that ought to fix ya up.

I'm working on Viper right now. shouldn't be long .
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
New Build is up!!!

New build is up! Links in the OP
[HTC Amaze 4G] navneet_bhaskar:
Boot prob.

i am unable boot 1.7.2.3 :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
Getting this error from last night with Google Play, any solutions. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
more info

Need more info on s-on/s-off..

What rom you're coming from, or updating from another Viper amaze version???:cowboy:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Weird

I've never seen that error before, but interestingly, it looks like you have airplane mode on and wifi on.

How did you manage that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Darian_A:
Wait, what? I've been able to turn wifi on during airplane mode with every rom I've used thus far. Is that not supposed to happen? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
Not Weird

Yup,my phone is on aeroplane mode from the first day i bought, i use my Nokia 1280 for use, this is because of phone snatching activities in our city(I lost my brand new Nokia 5530 sadly),so as a precaution i keep it at home and use a cheap one for daily use,but that's another story, I don't know am getting this error with gmail id, my rest of the ids like yahoo and facebook are working fine,my gmail account is working on my desktop but phone is not accepting it anywhere, am trying 1.7.2.3 in some time will tell you if it remains the same..

its fixed,i recently flashed latest version of Rom, thanks

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

Yes you can use wifi in aeroplane mode, am using this feature from years :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
As long as you turn on airplane mode first then wifi
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
wow, you learn something new every day!

I had never tried that...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
That makes two of us. I would have never thought of enabling airplane mode, then WiFi, as I've only ever enabled it when I want all transmission disabled.
[HTC Amaze 4G] navneet_bhaskar:
S-off rooted and CID

it was working earlier, currently i am on supersense 4.0, not my phone stuck on boot. , i also tried your old build which was also working , but now facing same problem.

and also in new build .. during installaion, it give some error regarding gps file ..in last .
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
What did you select when installing the Rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] navneet_bhaskar:
faux kernel , no extra keyboard selected, unbranded selected. nothing else.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
hahaha

same over here in punjab hafizabad

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

no i am having a similar problem but i did not turn on my airplane mode i searched and searched but no process listed was help full super Afnan told me a way to fix this but then i have to reflash a older rom then flash one more rom then flash yor desired one ( idont remeber their names and its also so much flashing and booting).I think its only happening in pakistan.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
[MENTION=1821867]chevycowboyusa[/MENTION] I having some trouble here with 1.7.2.3, first the Android keyboard is giving a forced closed error(tried to fix permissions nothing happened), secondly the stock Power saving app is missing in the setting menu.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I'll look into the errors

Did you wipe before you flashed?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
power saving app

Can you get me a logcat when the keyboard is force closing?

Could it be from the other non-stock keyboard you have installed?

Power saver:good:

I removed it because the one in the pull down menu in quick settings works really good!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
problem with our internet provider

its okay its was a problem with my internet provider its fixed but now its stuck on boot screen htc amazing after i pulled out the battery and started to charge but i turned it on before it was green so i tried to re flash it without wiping because no backup is created with power button swap + Arabic keyboard + nightmare kernel previous was faux with same options.

P.S:- For all the Pakistanis PTCL land line broadband creates this problem sometimes try deleting the host files cache + dalvik cache and connecting it on mobile network or EVO i used EVO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
can you please elaborate?

you mean downloading the Viper ROM on PTCL broadband makes the bug apear where the bootloop thing occurs. Coz i Had the same problem with HTC Amazing Screen with constant vibrations
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
here is the logcat & and please put back that Power saving app back it was a little convenient for us to configure as we need it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] navneet_bhaskar:
Issue Resolved.

I got the ROM successfully working on mobile. i first flashed with Viper Amaze 1.7.1 and then wiped data/ catch/ partion and flashed the new Viper Amaze 1.7.2.3 ROM, Might be some file missing in new build. :victory::victory:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
i was talking about the play store not running the boot loop is happening due to another reason can you tell me does it reboot from the boot screen or after every 1 or 2 mins even if your cell is working perfectly
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
It actually happened in previous build that I was just stuck on HTC amazing splash screen and the cell started vibrating constantly every 5 secs. havent tried this one yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
problem with boot img

yeah there must have been a problem with boot img but its now fixed and personally i think this rom is the best for amaze every thing runs so smooth but i should warn your i screwed my radio once and had to claim warranty by overclocking so i wouldnt over clock it to the max 1674 MHz is the best frequency
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
lol

been there done that :P

have claimed warranty for over heating myself :P

the thing is i was a daily flasher with IncS but I am busy nowadays cant try different roms nowadays. Thats why needed your advice. Coz i loved Viper Vivo and thatsy have been waiting for stable Viper Amaze here too.

about over clocking , i dont think amaze needs it :P

so final word: u say there is no issue what so ever?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
none over here. :D and if you want it for gaming you should flash the kinghtmare kernal if for battery faux kernal
[HTC Amaze 4G] qipengart:
So far, no issues with the Nightmare Kernel. Working rather smoothly apart from one random reboot so far. Kudos!
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
Well I deselected the stock app it's still there. But the thing is when I try to open task manager. It says can't find pull

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------

By the way. Awesome stuff.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Please re download the newest update again. The problem is fixed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
I just got an OTA update of 1MB. so do i go for it or download the whole file again?

edit: Chevy? you mean just downloading the same file or you gona update OP?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Devilish_Angel:
can i flash this rom on t-mobile version of amaze which is still s-on by flashing boot.img separately ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
S-on

Yes, but if you use 4ext recovery turn on smart-flash.!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Update

There is no official OTA update for this rom. The ota that comes up is a script from team venom that is built in, and if you install it it will not work correctly as it thinks it's the sensation.

when I put the links back up there was a minor fix where I actually removed some things that fixed it up.

if you downloaded the rom before I took the links down, then redownload and reflash
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
thanks a lot man. and yea i should have waited for your reply. lol i went for the OTA and it got aborted in recovery bt messed up my ROM. lol

aosp + swiftkey FC :P

so i gave evervolv KK a try ;)

thank you.

P.S re-downloading....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Devilish_Angel:
... thanks and now runnin Viper :good: ...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
This is what comes up in venom hub now:(
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Venom isn't supporting ics anymore.

Not much there on venom hub for us anyways.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I may have some icon packs stored somewhere on my backup drive....

Hang on though, I've been trying to port venom sense 5.

If we ever get a working sense jellybean Rom you will be able to use the sensation stuff or the Ville stuff.
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
did a clean full wipe flash having the problem android keyboard crash right at the beginning of first boot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Did it continue? Or did it go away?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Ok, I've seen the issue with the keyboard. Looking to fix it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Chevy, first off I want to thank you for all your work and efforts into making such a complete, feature packed, and polished ROM. I was off Thu and Fri, so I took it out for a spin. I did a full install using the nightmare kernel. Then after letting it settle for a half-hour, I went back and flashed over the kernel with the stand alone nightmare kernel zip because my preferred governor (badass) and io scheduler (sio) weren't showing up in the tweak control panel. I also noticed that the default voltage table selections were a bit higher than I normally run. After flashing, the CPU parameters were to my liking and I proceeded tweaking the ROM to my tastes.

All I can say is it's extremely smooth, fast and responsive. Everything's integrated nicely. The menus are well laid-out and easy to understand. Other than the known non-working issues I experienced no problems. This is truly a great effort and a solid ROM. The camera is fantastic and produces clearer sharper photos than I get on energy with its own hq tweaks.

The only negatives aren't really such, and those are, I created a viper account and registered as instructed. I could see items that were available for download in the hub, however, clicking on them didn't initiate the download. Also, I made a mistake of checking for software updates in "About Phone". From that point forward I kept getting notifications to install an update in recovery and warning me of my "illegal" copy of viper. I too had an issue with the Google/AOSP keyboard, but I prefer the sense kb anyway, so I just removed the Google one with titanium backup, problem solved.

All in all an excellent ROM, thanks again for this outstanding effort!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Thanks. I'm not entirely sure how I got the Latin Google keyboard in there. I must have fallen asleep at the mouse!

Wait till we release jellybean and sense 5.

Smoother and lightning fast.

Ravike has very limited internet to post his kernel source. Without posting the source, he's not allowed to post a Rom.

The only thing we have working is internet pass through. So far. There's a lot of in depth work to do to get audio, camera, and the sensors working. Oh, the proximity sensor works too.

And thank you for the kind words.

I did more of the polishing up part

Ziggy and the rest of the venom team set up the majority of the stuff in it.

I tweaked the boot animation because I couldn't stand it saying sensation when my amaze booted up.Lol

I got GPS working for the most part. And the aroma installer and the hq camera.

I love this phone!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
Please also consider to put back the stock POWER option in setting menu,this is the only issue stoping me from updating 1.7.1 to 1.7.2.3
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
LatinIME.apk is the name of the English / Western European Google AOSP KB. You weren't asleep. There's just a problem with the version of it you've included. If I remove the included version, then install the latest version from the play store it works without a hitch, but like I said, I prefer the sense KB anyway.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
More Power

I'm building a special flashable zip just for you, since you asked nicely, that will restore the settings.

:)

*Edit*

Flash the attached zip file thru recovery and enjoy!

:cowboy:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
wana hug u for that :good: thanks alot
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Huggs!

Did it work for you??

Worked on my dev device and my daily phone.. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Chevy, what exactly does this do? Does it enable extra power savings not found in your updated ROM? TIA
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
yes.

The power settings are different in the 4.1 Rom. And it duplicates the power control in settings. one battery is vertical and the other is horizontal. It doesn't hurt to have both, and there's a better battery graph in the old one.

The 4.1 pull down has a power saver setting in the quick settings.

The old one is more configurable.

:)
