its a pain in the butt to recompile the framework-res.apk if you change any of the xml files

BT this is for you

i finally figured out how to get the framework-res.apk recompiled without errors and changed the battery meter...i also modified the xml files to make it do 1% at a time.

cant seem to get it done. thanks anyways, if you have some time, i would love it if it can be posted here.

Hi, Is the weather included in 2.7 or is it an APP.. is it also in 2.6?? If so what app is it please? I miss HTC weather...

Question... Can I flash 2.6 update then lagfix then boot up?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tildog:
settings fc

so i also had to go back to 2.6 due to fc but if you are trying to stick it out i found out that quick settings will let you change some settings around that actuall settings was force closing . again appreciate all the hard work and look forward to the fix on 2.7 it looked awsome keep it up bt
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
its beautiful widgets (paid app) and it is not included in the rom...just something i loaded
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah flash 2.6, then before rebooing, flash the lagfix and when you boot up you're good to go

BT, here is an update.zip you can flash in clockwork for the new battery meter h**p://www.multiupload.com/38WQM4QXOY

Either ppl can flash with CW or you can bake it into your next release...i'm going to make a few different ones for you to post up as well

I tested this on 2.7 and littlepr tested on 2.6 so the battery meter should work so long as BT doesn't change the framework-res.apk (if you do let me know so i can fix em)

BT,

I'm working on a no-batt.pop-up for 2.6... i'll post as a update.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
my man, always to the rescue...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sav42:
May I make a small suggestion? It seems like every release of VIPER there are new features baked in and new bugs. Can we leave all of the new features as optional .zip files, and instead work on getting as close to bug free as possible?

I think all of these additional mods are pretty sweet, but it seems like a dramatically different rom every release. Without a verbose changelog, it's hard to determine whether or not it's worth updating.

Thanks for everyone's hard work, I really appreciate the effort you're all putting into it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Do you mean this displays the bat status in different increments than the baked in bat indicator?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
yes the baked in battery indicator shows 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%

i changed a couple of xml files to show 1-100% in 1% incriments
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:

[Epic 4G Android Development] JudasD:
Quick rate of change is the majority of the fun with a rom such as this. You load it up and see whats new. This type of rom is what i like to call an ADHD rom; it never stays still :D There are other roms out there that have a slower rate of change and a more predictable pattern of release. YMMV

[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
there's an app on the market that gave me my MSL.... I forget what its called tho... I kno its not "SGS tools" I think there's 2 on the market for our Epics.. so its the other one i guess...

ill be uploading 4-5 more shortly
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
Awesome work, and what i'm learning from this the most is putting out rom after Rom is cool and all, but I think stable roms are more appreciated. Hold off on .7 as long as it's needed. Rocking 2.6 for more than 24 hours isn't going to kill us lol. Man what a great job all involved are doing with this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
I'm up and running 2.6 with baked in lagfix Thanks to BT:. Gotta Love mybackup pro, and titanium is like I never skip a beat when flashing :)P

Love the new look on 2.6. The Boot-up sounds on it are priceless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Did you happen too any before and after testing? cuz I noticed for some reason right after I installed 2.6, it was REAL responsive, then it "SEEMED" to slow down after that... Perhaps it was in my head, but I did a quadrant after the lagfix, and it got like a 1700 to 1800... But i just re-installed a fresh copy of 2.6, so imma try a before and after...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
so what happens? Do you go to recompile, and you get errors, and because of the errors, .9.png files show up???
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Hmmm Haven't noticed a hiccup yet. Maybe your looking for one lol.

I got like 2200 with all my apps installed the first time then 1900 the second. But I'm not one who cause about quadrant scores just speed. I only did it to see if the lagfix took :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
HERE is what helped me figure it out
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
To easily get your MSL:

1. Connect your phone in DEBUG mode:

2. Open command and type:

adb shell getprop ril.MSL

Voila! Your MSL #. Now put it down somewhere on your SD card and you're good to go. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Running 2.6, installed the lagfix. I skipped the busybox stepped, but everything ran like it normally should, will something be wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well I agree. I dont care for quadrant scores, or other scores for that matter. BUT, they CAN provide you with an indication of something maybe being wrong, perhaps with your install technique, that you, or anyone may have used.. i think that if there is an error in your system that perhaps is unforseen by the equipment your using, running a test could possibly uncover that "said" error that you didnt know you had, and you would know this because of everyone elses test scores are higher, and their running the exact equipment/software.. IMO..

has there been any update about 2.7 stable being uploaded?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Paiyne:
After a few battles with Odin 1.6, downloaded 1.3 and flashed the pit and modem without a hitch. Dl-ing Trinity now. Really excited to try it.

Edit: So got 2.7 up and running, ran quadrant and hit 2210...awesome, about to try that DK17 theme from ACS, got one question tho, some of the apps I had on 2.1, I'm not finding in the market to re download, some of which where paid apps that I really don't want to pay for again. Can I do an advanced restore and just restore the data to get those apps back or is there any way to get them back? Other than that, great rom so far!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
Good deal...i had to use odin 1.3 as well when i flashed the modem
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris378:
So is it just me or is 2.6 Better then 2.7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
well 2.7 turned into a beta for the many FC's that people encountered and its currently being worked on
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Problem, just flashed 2.7.... Odin'd modem & pit.. Boot up.. Get no service.. Odin said passed and everything went well, I have been using Odin to flash modem & pit since dk17 came out and prolly have done it 5 different times with rom's without any problems.... Here is what I am very confused about... I am coming back to your ROM from Quantum where I only had to flash the Modem for his rom, when I first flashed 2.7 (ViperROM) it showed service even without using Odin for modem & pit...

So I am very confused, I am pretty sure I am doing things right but just incase this is what I have done step by step.

Wiped data x3

Wiped Cache x3

Wiped Dalvik

Flashed 2.7

Let phone boot, reboot & put into download mode then opened Odin, plugged phone in & put Modem in phone section & pit into PIT section, Clicked start & said PASS....

Any help would be appreciated

EDIT : I really REALLY need to clean up my computer.. Was using a different pit & modem
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris378:
BT i got a question for you (Or anybody that knows) ..i love the voice animation on the boot up and boot down..I know nothing is impossible and im sure this is going to be something in the near future with phones but how difficult would it be to create a system that talks to you in some for or fashion throughout the whole use of the phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
Try flashing 2.6 instead 2.7 is a beta
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
You gotta Odin the modem and pit first, then you flash 2.7 Viper... It would be wise to flash 2.6 instaed of 2.7, cuz 2.7 is still in beta stages, and BThomas22x is in the works on it..

Try this: go back to stock (DI18)

: Then flash modem and pit

: then flash 2.6 Viper

P.S. Dont forget to install cwm again after flashing with Odin
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohcrx:
had trouble using odin (either version) on my workstation on vista. ended up just patching the modem on a win 7 box

2.7 looked cool but i was encountering the same menu and instability issues. i like the horizontal slide to unlock in 2.7

thanks again i really appreciate all your work on this. you're almost releasing these faster than i can flash them :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Thanks! I was stupid... Was using a different modem & pit lol got it working just fine!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
Ok guys! While BT works hard on a stable 2.7 here are some battery meters if you want to replace yours. These are compatible with 2.6 and 2.7 only. I am not responsible if you flash any of these and your dog bites the mail man and he sues you for a million dollars or anything crazy like that.

Install: Download zip to your sd card and flash via Clockwork.

[Epic 4G Android Development] IamJaysta:
****!!

I have Syyndicate Rom right now...When I connect the usb it shows that it's loaded but when I press 1+power nothing happens...It starts and never finishes...Do I have to flash it to another viper rom then press 1 power then odin/pit it then Flash it to 2.7???

I even tried wiping then pressing 1+power, still nothing happens.

I know I'm missing a step, thanks in advance

Are you just messing around? That's just another ad for another "ad hoc" connection on a Samsung Tab! I think the the Pre11 Hack which I've been running is useful but not as useful as if the Mobile Ap were working. They're just not the same. Ad hoc is slower and more limited. Having said that, I've been looking around the Froyo forums and nobody is any closer than BT and I suspect he'll be there first!

I've read this suggestion elsewhere so I'm not the only one to run across this, but after a three hour stint of attempted Odin this past weekend, I changed cables and it went thru on the first try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
I asked this very same questiion earlier. For us noobs this stuff get difficult quick doesn't it!?! Anyway the answer I was given is Modem once you are good unless you Odin in stock and have to re do the DK17. (I've upgraded thru all the Vipers without re doing so it must work that way) :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Sweet, thanks for the confirmation...yes, everthing gets confusing real fast!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
thats correct you only need to odin dk17 modem once until we get something else better
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
You need to have Odin opened on your computer with the right files in the right places (in Odin) with the phone NOT connected to your computer.

With the phone NOT connected and powered off, hold down the "1" and "Power" keys. Once the phone screen comes on with the android guy, THEN plug in your phone with the cable. After a few seconds, Odin should see your phone and and assign it a comm port. (Doesn't matter which port it assigns it as long as it sees it)

Follow the rest of the directions for Odin and your good!

Hi. This is the beginning of the second week of me ever flashing a rom. My mind is now sick, and bothered...which frickin rom to use??? All that runs thru me head is...do i flash 2.6, or 2.4v2 or go back to stock..WTF...Maybe flashing roms isnt for me...or maybe im just searching for same sanity that i once had on my stock, rooted epic...or..if someone could GIVE ME AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THE MOTHER F CANT I USE GPS AND SOME PEOPLE SAY ...OHHH WORKS FOR ME, i got a lock in 2.2 seconds with all my 11 towers and i use it five times a days..WTF!!!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
As you are aware sometimes one person's phone may work and another's may not but it didnt work for me or for others that posted on afterward on this forum. I'm assuming its just a small glitch that BT will work out cuz he seems very dedicated to making it work but I believe this is one of the "bugs" that downgraded 2.7 to test ROM. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
browse back in the thread a day or two...some 1 reset their gps with the code and was able to get it working

I really want to do some dirty things to you right now lol (jk) , thanks bro. awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Look dude, just take a chill pill, sit back and take a minute for yourself... Theres no need to get all worked up. An frustrated mind set will **** in doing anything it tries to achieve... So, I wouldnt do ANYTHING until your level headed....

Okay, If I were you, I would flash 2.6 because just about everything seems to work, and no FC's... First, take these steps to ensure you get it right the first time...

1. Get your mind leel

2. Restart your pc

3. Back-up your sdcard contents, then go to settings>sdcard&phone storage>hit unmount sdcard>then hit format sdcard

4. Power off phone, remove/then replace batt

5. Start up Odin, and get the "DI18" MD5 Tar file to use in Odin, and put that in "PDA"..

6. Then while phone is off, slide open keyboard, and hold "1" key while holding the power to put you in download mode

7. Then plug in your phone via USB, and hit start on Odin

8. Once thats done, you should be on "2.1 DI18" system

9. Okay, now you want to let your phone power ALL the way up to where media scan stops

10. Then power off and unplug phone from pc

11. Start Odin up again, but now put the "DK17 modem bin.file" in the Phone section

12. Now put the "DK17 victory pit file" in the pit section

13. Then put phone in download mode, then plug phone into pc and hit start in Odin

14. that should give you the DK17 modem/radio

15. Then you want to install clockworkmod on your phone again

16. Then you want to download the Viper 2.6 ROM to your pc and save somewhere you'll know where to find ( I save to desktop )

17. Now download the lagfix to the same place on youe pc

18. Now while your phone is on, plug phone into pc and transferr files you saved to your desktop, to your phones "sdcard"

19. Once thats done, your ready to flash the Viper ROM

Make sure before you flash ANY rom, wipedata/factory reset 3 to 4 times, wipe cache 3 or more times, wipe dalvik once. And NEVER flash more than ONE thing at a time in cwm...

Hope that helps....

Hey guys I need some help on the best way to be able to RESTORE all my CONTACTS, MESSAGES, and APPS after I have flashed with a new ROM. I know the whole nandroid backup deal, and Titanium Backup (to restore apps), but how can I restore my contacts after I flash and am left with a factory resetted phone?
