Last night after trying to install last rom version with dirty install i got whole install with no problem also on the end of install it was saying install successfull. Then after app setup on the end it says setup stopped, and when itenter to the rom i was facing phone fc. Then I went back dirty flash on 8 version also no luck. After that I tried clean install of version 9 and it was ok. I am on international version, twrp 2.8.7.0, last firmware known, no aditional checks in aroma everything default picked. I think that probably is got to do with newest twrp that somehow dont "allow" dirty flash only clean.

After the good installation in 1h of handeling the phone it was everything ok, I will see if it continious like that :)

And sorry I cant give you logcat

Latest Sense Home

Devs, Thank you for the gorgeous ROM! I see there is a new Sense Home available on Google Play and its available on a Friends M9 Venom HUB. Are we able to get it too?

The rom is running fast and smooth. Just wanted to know, are small apps removed from side panel? And when I open Trickster MOD, it shows busy box is not installed well it's not an issue just wanted to share.
[One (M7) Android Development] dvsk69:
I am on TWRP 2.8.7 with International version of M7.

Just did a full wipe (except SD card), removed a bunch of apps in AROMA and flashed the ROM. Result was 256.

However, after setting up everything, there is not a single force close or any issue. Everything is working super fine and the way its supposed to.

No issue with the ROM or TWRP versions. Just that a clean install is required and some careful reading in AROMA.

Cheers to the Venom team and artur. Great work as usual.
[One (M7) Android Development] j to the 4n:
try making a call, will it work?

No one did make a log for us about the 256 error...it would be highly appreciated if you could pull the recovery log and save the aroma log.
[One (M7) Android Development] petru.tomsa:
When come a call and user is active on phone, means screen is active, the phone app appear only on top like a notification and not ring. Is normal this? If screen is not active phone ring and normal call app appeares. Please a feedback to know is normal or is a bug.
[One (M7) Android Development] khandelwalsiddharth:
Yes it works.
[One (M7) Android Development] j to the 4n:
normal...if you dont want to have the headsup notification, go to VenomTweaks->Misc and look into th notifcation section.

enable blacklist for headup notifcations and add the phone app to the blacklist.
[One (M7) Android Development] khandelwalsiddharth:
No permission manager in tweaks?
[One (M7) Android Development] poondog:
1. Small apps are removed, iirc from what I was told it conflicts with something in sense 7 (and not previously)

2. Busybox is not inluded, please download busybox from stericson and install from there

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

Thats normal in our testing.
[One (M7) Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I also had the 256 message in recovery, but I didn't pay much attention since the flashing process seemed to be successful. And now I have been using the phone for about 24h with no issues at all, ROM is very smooth and stable.

I think it won't help if i post a recovery log now, right? It doesn't says anything about the install process I think.

I'm on M7 international, selected full wipe (wiped previously too in recovery) and I selected a lot of apps to uninstall, but don't remember which ones...
[One (M7) Android Development] iBalajiS:
Downloaded and flashed... Setting up right now. So will check and report later. Thank you devs :)
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
That 255 error is not important at all, it just cant copy logs to venom fodler, rom still flashed properly.

About T-mobile users, just flash rom using International option, ill remove all t mobile files, Wifi calling will hardly ever work, on M9 it requires M9 kernel and M9 firmware to work, which cant be used on m7.

If we manage to get it working, or as a matter of fact get a actual tester who got lots of time which is required to fix it, than it may work one day.
[One (M7) Android Development] Pötzi:
I have this too

Viperone 9 M7 HOW2 enable HEQS

Installed viperone 9, with full wipe. Dirty flash on viperone8 did not work.

I am trying to enable the HEQS.

Tapping date in notifications area does not work and I can not find any global HEQS settings under STATUS BAR in Tweaks ??

Left/right quick pull-down does not affect HEQS

I know it has been reworked, but its not intuitive how to activate it anymore(never was really).

Why is it not enabled by default? I believe many new users will never discover this nice feature.
[One (M7) Android Development] fanbogo:
can someone confirm :

blinkfeed cant load photos, just empty place

error when downloading from market rpc:s-7:aec-0 pwvl-npe7-ymrcg

usb cable not working

home button always turn on google, i changed in tweaks, and display settings

thats what i got after second full wipe and reflash (md5 ok)

looks like i was happy to fast

edit. after reboot my market is gone wtf :D
[One (M7) Android Development] dabuHTC:
First, thank you for this rom version, and for your work, in general.

Two mentions - I cannot find the quicklaunch horizontal bar, even though, there are mentions about it in the status bar menu in Venom Tweaks;

- Is there any way to commute the network on 2G only?

Thank you.

So any thoughts why Sprint won't install? 3 downloads, same result. I posted my setup back a bit with while problem

Thanks guys
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
From logs rom installed just fine, that error is not real error..Our sprint tester flashed rom and it works just fine using latest TRWP and Firmware available for m7.
[One (M7) Android Development] Brakiss:
I just tried again, latest firmware and twrp, vdm client crashes and causes soft reboots. Thoughts? I am open to anything here.
[One (M7) Android Development] dabuHTC:
Found it - the quicklaunch bar.

A little hidden, but everything is fine.
[One (M7) Android Development] jaylam:
Hi,

I just wanted to express my thanks to all the devs for putting the time and effort in to version 9 for the M7, I have used viperone since version 6 and every new release always gives me the feeling my phone has been given a new lease of life.

Cheers guys much appreciated.
[One (M7) Android Development] Daaka:

[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
Try flash this in recovery,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pz52qqh6uukg2aa/sprint_OMADM.zip?dl=0

or if it doesnt work go to additions\carriers\Sprint\system\app and delete all folders inside and re-flash rom with full wipe, if that by any chance also doesn't work go also to priv-app and delete all apps, rom should boot without any sprint related stuff (wifi calling etc)
[One (M7) Android Development] rongold3:
Hey I installed the rom for the first time and I hate quite a few problems with dropbox and whatsapp, I tried clearing cache and stuff but that didn't help (unfortunately I lost a few of my whatsapp conversations).

Now I installed the rom for the second time and with elementalX kernel and it works great. Thanks alot!
[One (M7) Android Development] dvsk69:
Call goes thru without issues.

I checked for the recovery log and its not getting captured on the SD card nor in any folder. (Venom folder is also not getting created). Sorry about that.

I believe there is an issue with the installer because even for the apps that I checked not to be installed, do get installed after the ROM boots. ( can be uninstalled though).
[One (M7) Android Development] fanbogo:
you should kick your beta testers, something is wrong with sdcard

im using always viper, first time i found so many bugs and i cant make logcat or i can, but where it is ? fc when i try open sdcard

system is smooth

edit. third full wipe all same
[One (M7) Android Development] artur0588:
What do you mean open sdcard? Try different file manager. And no problem with sdcard on my device running latest viper.
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
Why didint you apply for beta tester than?I asked for testers and got only few PMs, mostly international, thats why carriers are in the mess.

Also, for real, nobody reported any SD issues at any point, and your first one reporting it now.

Also, write down which carrier are you?
[One (M7) Android Development] Beast Power:
Thanks to the Devs for the efforts so far, I loaded the new Rom and had the out of space problem, so ran the fix and it worked afterwards. Everything seemed fine until the phone rang for the first time.

The headsup display came up but flashed an error message and dropped the call, the whatsapp keeps on crashing when receiving a call.

As I need the phone for business, I have made a nandroid of 9.0.0 and have reverted back to my 8.0.0 nandroid.

Will endeavour to get it up and running this coming weekend.

But thanks again for the effort you guys put in, would like to be a beta tester, but really only have time over weekends to do experimenting.
[One (M7) Android Development] fanbogo:
i apply 3 times for beta testers anyway check screens please

what i can do ? firmware etc all is good im not idiot ;p another download and try one more time ? but md5 is ok ;/

[One (M7) Android Development] j to the 4n:
Stop being silly really.

We spent a lot of time bringig you that rom. All that is done in our freetime, so really stop posting such comments.

Instead of you could have searched after your issue and fix it yourself.

As said above already run:

adb shell su restorecon -FR /data/media/0

that was a known issue when coming from KK to L that the sdcard isnt recognized anymore.

Btw with that attitude you can apply 1000 times as beta tester. We will never get you in.

We choose our beta testers wisely...none of our beta testers would ever have written such comment like you did.
[One (M7) Android Development] Pötzi:
Yes, problem solved, thanks
[One (M7) Android Development] fanbogo:
your last post about people who donated you ( include me) made me rude, sorry but nobody never told me, that my money is **** for him

anyway thanks for replay i will try fix it and if all will be good i will donate one more time, i very much appreciate your job, viper was always perfect for me, you can kill me now.

[One (M7) Android Development] icanttinkofaname:
Thanks again Team Venom! another stellar performance, as always!

I have a question though, is there an issue with the longpress delay on this rom? I have set the system longpress delay to 200ms and it is still taking 500ms+ to activate longpress actions on buttons. Can anyone else confirm this?

Could I restore Venom Tweaks from ViperOne 8 or will it cause some issues due to change? I would make a backup and try but I don't have enough space on sdcard nor have a pc right now to free some space moving files.

Edited: I've just realised that Venom folder was wiped during install, so I don't have my backup file. Thanks anyway (and coffee incoming!)
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
When you installed rom, did you select to remove any languages?Option there REMOVES languages, not install them as before on rom, so re-check what you have selected.
[One (M7) Android Development] Archangel22:
Oh what version 9, I was just posting yesterday for help to install version 8 when I found out you need a certain firmware before installing it. I tried installing the latest firmware via adb command with no luck so I gave up and left it at version 7. I am guessing version 9 requires the same firmware I cant just do a straight install through recovery and running the zip?
[One (M7) Android Development] alexxue:
Remember selected not remove any languages. So, can I reinstall the rom without wiping to check language setting?
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
yes you can!
[One (M7) Android Development] Grobsen:
You are right
[One (M7) Android Development] naughty6t9:
Alright regards to phone call bug..

After doing so Research, Having twrp 2850, fw 7.19.401.. international variant, also md5 is correct..

Installation with wipe and removing apps and unchecking options like removing small app etc breaks the phone call option.. ( It's any one of app or tweak which is causing that, as many user reported they removed and it's working fine )

Installation without or with wipe, but not removing any app or untouching any option, works all fine. With no FC..

Could have tried by selecting apps one by one.. but initializing takes lot of time..
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
Very helpful post, we had similar issue on M9 during porting new 5.1 base, but nobody reported issues on M7, will try fix it for next rom.Thanks!
[One (M7) Android Development] requa3r0:

Did not change anything, but the switching only works if you have been into the settings and toggled something ?

Not sure how intuitive the location this is.

I would never have found it without a guide.

Anyway many thanks for the info.
[One (M7) Android Development] panos_ts:
Hello everyone!

I'd like to report the issues I have found with the new Viper ROM, just in case it helps. My phone is unlocked carrier and S-ON.

I did a clean flash with TWRP 2.8.7.0, and almost everything worked fine. I say almost cause the only issues I had, were that I couldn't remove the battery percentage icon (dunno if this is a bug or not), and that some apps I had chosen to uninstall (during ROM flash), were installed and some other, that I had chosen to keep (not uninstall), were not installed. So I did, one more clean install, but then immediately after setting up the phone for the first time, I was thrown a "Dolby Audio" FC. Then I read that, with TWRP 2.6.3.3 things could be better... Well, for some reason, I was stuck at continuous bootloops, no matter how many times I flashed (always clean) the ROM via this recovery. So today I flashed, via minimalADB, TWRP 2.8.5.0, and once again, I face Dolby Audio FCs.

Code 256 was always present, no matter TWRP.

Going back to Viper 8.0.0 for the time being.

Not HTC flashlight.
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
Rom is up not even one full day, and you already cant read a bit back where i explained in very detail why there is no flashlight..
[One (M7) Android Development] poondog:
Battery % from statusbar? Change the statusbar theme to stock (not %) if its the one in the icon. Otherwise if its just the % number separate this is under settings --> power

Did you flash any sound mods?

See above post, Ivica is ninjaaaaaaaaaa
[One (M7) Android Development] j to the 4n:
It's removed, because HTC didnt indluced it into that base.

Use ether the EQS To turn it on or better use quickflash light where you can longpress the power button on screen off to turn on the flashlight.
[One (M7) Android Development] petru.tomsa:
Set up double short press back button to activate flashlight work like a charm from venom tweaks.
[One (M7) Android Development] panos_ts:
Hello poondog!

Ok, I will give it a look and if I can't remove, I will report it here.

No no mods at all. I saw that there were some issues reported, so I always flashed only the ROM, no mods, no kernels, no xposed, just the ROM itself.

Despite the FC, the audio seems to be working just fine. No poor quality, no low volume, or other issues.
[One (M7) Android Development] ivicask:
Did you change kernel?There is ramdisk change required in kernel or Dolby doesn't work/properly.
[One (M7) Android Development] naughty6t9:
I would love to help the community with beta testing...

Have been using viper Rom since 1.1.0 when u guys launched in sensation, n never used other Rom.. so quite familiar with all tweaks
[One (M7) Android Development] panos_ts:
No, kernel was always stock.

Every time, after clean flashing the ROM and wile choosing phone's language (first screen during phone's first time setup), I was getting the Dolby Audio FC. Afterwards, I would keep getting the FC immediately when the phone boots and only then. I never faced it during listening to audio, or doing something else. Only when the phone boots into the OS.
[One (M7) Android Development] bower1994:
I also face dolby audio FC' at boot. I flashed elementalx (i know it wasn´t tested).

Everything seems to be working fine apart from that FC at the beginning. No sound bugs or poor quality, so i think i'm keeping elemental because of wake gestures which i love :D

PD: Sorry if my english isn´t good enough
[One (M7) Android Development] artur0588:
It's only may happen when you change kernel. Otherwise flash attached zip then can change to any kernel you want with no dolby issue.
[One (M7) Android Development] Beast Power:
Are you using ElementalX 20.1 or 20.2 ?
[One (M7) Android Development] lawyerone:
So, flash this then ElementalX 20.2, or flash ElementalX 20.2 then this?

Or even with that thing installed we still cant use any custom kernel with gesture wake?
[One (M7) Android Development] bower1994:
Flashed inmediatly. DS FC's aren´t gone. Running elementalx 20.2.

Second try:

Flashed back boot.img from viper 9.0. Still FC at boot.

Reflashed DS.zip again. Still FC.

Going back to elementalx with FCs. I can survive with them (It's just when i boot but there are no other bugs for the moment) but this is just to leave some feedback just in case it can be usefull.

Both should work. I'm running 20.2 as it is the last release.

I've got phone FC too. I have 2.8.5.0 twrp recovery, international gsm phone, md5 is correct, rom is boot normal but errorcode 256 after installation. I install it with full wipe only keep tweaks, without removing any apps and etc all by default. I can't post logs cause there is no Venom folder in sdcard

For T-Mobile users there is link of some necessary files. FIrst flash rom like you have international device, don't check T-mobile field. Then flash zip below. It's tested only on international device, so can not confirm t-mobile features work properly.

[One (M7) Android Development] jrocka312:
Just to update...I have attempted all suggested solutions. Have removed files and reflashed. Full wipes. Removed all data from internal and started fresh. I am unable to run rom without multiple FC (vDM client) / qualcom services / phone.android etc....

I am on Sprint, newest TWRP, newest firmware, cannot run rom. I also cannot provide logs as computer will not recognize phone. Thank you in advance for all of your work on this rom. I am thankful....
[One (M7) Android Development] naughty6t9:
What Recovery Version u have and is it international variant, did u keep tweaks and removed apps..

by EVEN i mean if keep tweaks and wipe data it still gives phone fc, if i dont wipe data flash default viper tweak and not remove app then too get phone fc..

if i wipe data and flash default tweaks without removing any app then its fine :(

is there any fix for international variant for phone fc.. i would really love to migrate tweaks and remove some app..
