​

1. When is the next update coming?

Please don't ask for eta's. If we feel the need to spoil you with some upcoming features or screenshots thats one thing, but dont ask for timetables. Also, pm-ing me or bothering me on google hangouts asking for updates is NOT cool, so stop it.​

2. How do I install the rom?!

ViperDNA install Instructions

Download the the latest ViperDNA full ROM zip from the download section

Place the rom on your internal storage

Confirm the MD5 on the download page matches the MD5 of the file on your phone

Reboot to TWRP .6 Beta Recovery (if you don't already have that recovery installed, find it here)

Newer recoveries meant for KK will probably work, I just personally use the above

Backup current ROM if desired

WIPE DATA

Install ROM and select whatever Aroma options you would like

Reboot and Enjoy

3. How do install OTA (Over-The-Air) updates?

Settings - About - Software updates​

4. How do I restore my HEQS (Horizontal Enhanced Quick Settings)?

Try long pressing the date in the notification bar (Pressing the date for about 2 seconds will toggle between HEQS, Quick Launch bar and "nothing")​

5. How do I make my device look like stock?

To disable some of the tweaks, do the following:

Disable HEQS (Horizontal Enhanced Quick Settings): Long press the date in the notification bar for about 2 seconds to toggle between modes until it's hidden

Disable Weather: Tweaks - Status Bar - Weather - Hide

Disable Header Text (cpu usage, etc.): Tweaks - Status Bar - Header - Information - Hide

Disable VEQS (Vertical Enhanced Quick Settings): Tweaks - Status Bar - Vertical quick settings - Disable

6. I have a problem with the ROM (FC, Boot Loop, apps closing automatically). How can I get my problem resolved?

First things first. Try wiping data and replicating the issue:

Rebooting into Recovery

Perform a Nandroid backup (of just Data if you wish)

Flash the ROM and select the option to "Wipe Data"

Try replicating the issue

If the problem persists, capture a logcat and send it to us.

To capture a logcat: (this assumes you have the Android SDK and ADB setup)

Open the Command Prompt

run adb logcat >c:\logcat.txt

To capture an FC, use the command adb shell "logcat | grep AndroidRuntime" >c:logcat.txt

Press Control-C to stop logging

Paste the contents of c:\logcat.txt into http://pastebin.com

Post the link here with the problem being experienced

​

7. Whats does MD5 mean?

It ensures, that the rom is downloaded correctly to avoid weird issues when installing/using the rom. Google for "md5 sum checker" and you should find what you need.​

8. I found a theme or mod, will it work on this rom?

It's NOT recommended to use mod/themes that dont clearly state, that they are compatible with our rom. Its almost impossible that a theme for another rom will work properly on ViperDNA unless its a) a kanged rom from another forum or b)another Viper rom with the same base. However even other viper roms from the same base have significant changes sometimes to ensure the base properly functions on the DNA.​

9. My question is not listed here, what to do?

Ensure you used the xda search, google and your brain before asking a question in the thread. If you cant find an answer yourself we will answer your question for sure! (-:​

10. My media (pictures, music, etc.) is not listed in the Gallery/HTC Music/etc.

Try rescanning your SDCARD by using an app such as Media Scanner​

11. What are the correct sizes for custom carrier logo?

Try 100x100​

12. Why is my proximity sensor always on?

Auto sleep is on by default, which keeps the sensor light on. If you want to change it, go to settings > display, buttons, gestures > and change screen timeout to anything but auto sleep. It does not cause battery drain if left as is however.​

13. Why do we have to use .6 TWRP Beta to flash the rom?

Most recoveries that are being used are not compatible with kitkat, or not fully compatible. In 4.4, google changed how permissions are set via update-script, and older recoveries cannot process this properly. As for 2.7 TWRP? Probably works, but I havent personally tested it.​

14. Do VOIP applications work?

Let me know. If they don't I will tinker more with ota parts to get it going​

15. The included APN's don't work with my carrier, any advice?

Most seem to work, however as different carriers get reported as not working, and fixes arise they will be posted below

16. Can you port this to the Butterfly (insert dlx variant)?

At this point, no. While the DNA community is shrinking, there are still several thousand root users that justify making roms for; the Butterfly variants have very few (xda) users and imo not worth the effort of blindly supporting. Also there are, by my count, multiple active kangs on foreign forums and their non xda users disgust me.​

17. Venom Filemanager force closes after deleting a file.

Go to venom tweaks > misc > other > "allow system broadcasts" and add file explorer to it.​

18. How can I overclock this rom or get other kernel features?

The rom will always include either a completely stock (ota) or as close to stock source (ports) kernel. If other modified kernels become available, thats awesome; but the rom will not include it by default.​

19. I want to be cool and change the build.prop to something other than viperDNA 4.x.x, can I do that?

No, you absolutely CANNOT DO THIS!!!! Changing the ro.product.version from ViperDNA will result in you bricking your device as our built in kang checks will assume you are trying to kang this rom to make your own project. Don't do it, its super lame to change the rom name anyway.​

20. Is there any fix for MMI/USSD Codes?

See this post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52454486&postcount=214​

21. What kernels are compatible with this rom? Can we use ones built off of m7 source or DNA source?

While ViperDNA is still a port, it currently uses (for better or worse) the stock 4.4.2/sense 5.5 3.4.10 verizon kernel (with some ramdisk changes). I am personally using iHateWebOS's kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2734196 (dna source) and from my use it works just fine. I believe you can use NuK3RN3L from santod040 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616439 (dna source) with success as well. I just haven't gotten around to using it myself yet.

Both Kernels have m7 versions as well, but will probably be less reliable (wifi bug) than their DNA source counterparts.​

22. How can I emulate the One Max layout?

For smaller status bar icons : tweaks > statusbar > status bar tweaks > status bar icon size > small

For fonts: settings > display, gestures and buttons > font size > small

For Homescreen: tweaks > prism launcher > home screen > homescreen layout > 5x6
​

23. How can I change the default lockscreen widget?

You need to enable lockscreen widgets under settings > security and then venom tweaks > lockscreen > remove default widget

next time you lock the screen you will have the option to add any widget (sense or otherwise)
