The next time yo need to charge your phone, pull the battery and then put it back in. Don't turn on the phone. Plug it in until the green light comes on. Turn on phone.

Because of the kernel the phone has a different number that it's using to calculate the battery.

It will settle out after a cycle or two.

Check out the battery usage in settings and click the x next to the running things.

Also, long press the home button and close the things you aren't using anymore.

Lastly go into quick settings / task manager and stop all processes.

Once you do all of this, your battery will stay at 100% for a while, then it will drop quickly.

It's at the kernel lever and I can't do anything about it.

Ok, thanks.

Viper

1.7.1 is noticably faster
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Even though you said my rom is faster I don't appreciate ill speaking of other people's roms.

Technically yes. :p

I'll try it out! :) Great job and thank you for helping me on stuff Chevy! Don't worry about what people say.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gsela2:
Chavy - i just saw that you publish the new (and the last ) rom, THANKS!

so, if i understend correctly, in order to format the phone and install the rom i need to:

1. make a backup and copy it to SD-CARD (on the external one, because i want to format all my phone)

2. go to 4ext recovery - to the "wipe/format" menu and select "format sdcard" (i didn't found "format internal and external sdcards")

3. after my device is formated, i will connect it to the computer and copy your new rom (is the rom that install right now will appear after the formatting? i know from the PC that if i format it, the windows will not appear).

4. Wipe

5. flash firmware

6. wipe

7. Flash rom

is it the correct order?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
You mean "Chevy" lol.

Yes making a backup is always good before you flash something and have to wipe.

BUT. Don't format your sd card! You have pictures and data stored on it! Only format your sd if it gets corrupted (broken). Formatting will also erase your backups though.

A better way is to just toggle usb storage and copy the rom onto your phone (internal sd or :G or something). If you don't have enough space, delete a rom you don't need or something.

Once you have the rom on your phone and backed up (or not), go to the wipe menu, and choose format all partitions. This wipes everything except your sd and internal sd (phone).

This is called a full wipe. It is the best way to avoid problems with the rom.

Then simply flash the rom. And reboot.

Battery

did you pull the battery first to ensure it's completely off?

Thats a long time to charge! Are you using an A/C adapter, or USB from computer?

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

I included SperWipe in the Aroma Installer! If'll format everything but the sdcards!! I'll help you put the script in your installer!

:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
Ac charger.

Yes I pulled the battery.

When I reboot, I get different battery percentages evey time.

Also:

Are there any sd card issues with this rom? When I go to gallery I only see items from the internal storage.

Does tethering not work at all even with tethering apps?

Thanks

chevy,Is that possible porting some wights in sense 3.5 into the sense 3.6?I like the Quicklauncher in sense 3.5,I want to use it.

Could you help me?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Porting

It is quite possible to do that, but it all depends on the structure of sense 3/5 compaired to 3.6.

Need to knoe what files are all associated with an app. sometimes there are lib and other dependencies.

Whe not try Optional Quicksettings Mod by laehmic http://tinyw.in/Jq92

download and install the apk
[HTC Amaze 4G] CNwenabx:
Well,how to know what files and others are associated?

And the quicklauncher is not like quicksettings ...It is different.

Here is the picture of sense 3.5 Quicklauncher based on Android 2.3.5
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Is that the lock screen or the home screen?

Oh, what Rom was it in? And for what device?
[HTC Amaze 4G] CNwenabx:
It is home screen of HTC Rhyme,Android 2.3 with sense 3.5.

I have seen a rom of sensation Android 4.0.3 with sense 3.6 ported the apk.The following attachment is that.

View attachment HtcQuickLaunchWidget.apk

This ported apk worked in sense 3.6,I think can we make this work in our ruby sense 3.6?

Or port the original apk in sense 3.5 to our sense 3.6?

I've changed the font and now I have a bootloop. :(

Is there any way to reslove the problem without reinstalling the ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Thanks. Did you do a full wipe before installing viper? If you didn't then the data and settings don't stick right.

Also, are you using the latest version 1.7.1?

As far as Bluetooth, no HTC amaze sense Rom after 3.6 has working Bluetooth.

You didn't make a backup did you?

Anyhow, you can reflash over the top without wiping and everything should return to normal.

any chance to have the BT working???? your rom got everything I wanted!!!! love it. But without BT is worthless for me, I drive a lot and where I live using the phone without BT cause a ticket. Please advice!!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
We've been working on it for months now, and we've made some progress and some discoveries, but nothing that will fix Bluetooth yet.

I've worked on viper or other projects without much of a break for the last six months straight.

I'm hoping that with the new kernel the Rom I have waiting will have a good chance at working Bluetooth. But no promises till I get a hold of the kernel.

Hi everybody :)

Can you tell me where it could come from? (see the pic)

two months ago into status bar appeared interesting thing. I don't know how. It's a very good settings bar. Is it from Venom? )

I tried to find out how it appeared and what is it but didn't find anything. Also I was needed that days to change the rom.

1.7.2 has the boot image in the kernels folder. It has the option for the faux or nightmare kernel.

UNLOCKED

1.7.0.1 is working fine.

PLS HELP ME !!
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkandshadow:
^ You should load into 4EXT, and do a full wipe (obviously back everything up first).

Then when loading the Rom, do a superwipe. I'm able to use WIFI just fine on 1.7.2.

Also, this Rom rocks! Very quick, love the theme and options... Too bad tether doesn't work.

-> Faux kernel

-> Additional mods - selected everything expect T-Mobile Addons

Didn't work :(

Why does the kernel version says - 3.0.45-Nightmare Kernal ???? I selected Faux kernel while installing the rom.

pls ckeck the attachments

Bluetooth is being worked on for the next generation of software.

Jellybean will come with as much as we can fix.

Bluetooth will be a priority after we make sure we can make a reliable phone call. Then data and Wi-Fi, camera and video, then Bluetooth.

Hi,chevy!

[HTC Amaze 4G] Darian_A:
If I read your post right, it sounds like the same issue I mentioned in the general thread- I'd try to turn on the phone's screen using the power button but it wouldn't turn on. If I look close enough at the screen I can see the screen *stuck* in the process of turning on, but it never completes it. Trying the power button doesn't work and I wound up having to pull out the battery. Let's hope this issue is resolved because this is a very peculiar bug. :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] CNwenabx:
Yes!It is!I guess it's kernel problem.Because the difference between sense 4.1 and sense 3.6 is the kernel.

every time i access venom hub and select an option like skins,kernels,etc

is there any solution to it??
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Here's a trick I learned a while back when I had my HD2 that I've used on every sense ROM since. First, the default APN settings for T-Mobile are no longer optimal for our devices. If you check T-Mobile's website they have several pages devoted to updating the APN to get optimal data, mms, and sms settings.

First, you'll notice you have 2 APNs for T-Mobile, one for mms and another for everything else. The one for everything else is what's highlighted and selected as the default APN the other doesn't even have a spot to check as default. The easiest procedure is as follows:

1) Turn off Data or put the device in airplane mode.

2) Go to the APN settings section. As mentioned there should be two active APNs, with one named T-Mobile US. If you don't have this, then create one with that name. Now set that APN with the following (it must be exactly the same):

Name: T-Mobile US

APN: epc.tmobile.com

Proxy: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

Port: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

Username: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

Password: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

Server: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

MMSC:http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS: proxy: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

MMS: port: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

MMS: protocol: wap 2.0

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Authentication type: Blank (not set) just leave it blank

APN type: default,admin,dun,supl,mms

APN enable/disable: (should be grayed out, but checked APN enabled)

Bearer: Unspecified

Now save this new APN, or the edits you made to the existing one, and set as the active APN. Now delete any other T-Mobile APNs. This one will now handle everything on the device. Turn back on data. After a few minutes the connection should settle and you should be good to go!

As a side note: if you live in an area that has been refarmed (since the Metro PCS acquisition to take advantage of their towers and bandwidth) and or your sim card is older than 5 months, call T-Mobile and ask for a new one. When I got my new card in November my data throughput nearly doubled from what I averaged before. The rep explained that with the refarming the newer cards instruct the device and towers to connect at the faster HSDPA+ rate by default, where as before it would only connect that fast when congestion was light.

EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention. Also change "Network Mode" from "GSM / WCDMA auto" to "WCDMA only". If left at the default your phone will prefer connecting to the strongest signal even if it's slower. However with "WCDMA only" will always try connecting at the faster speed and only drop down if the signal is too weak or device dormant. These settings work well here in Miami where Metro PCS had a large presence. When their bandwidth was refarmed, T-Mobile gained a number of towers and greatly increased capacity. It may not have as much impact in rural areas where Metro wasn't as large a presence. Their capacity wasn't increased by the merger.

I hope this helps.
