The link to odin in the OP is borked! I thought someone posted a link to Odin 1.3 instead of 1.6 in this thread. I thought Bthomas said 1.3 was better for this, that's why I asked for it. but since it's such a long thread, I can't seem to find it. I want to try and flash the modem.....and/or wait for the DK17 modem and update...Either way, any help would be appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
when do u think we will be getting the next update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
It's uploading as we speak :) ...i'm waiting for the ROM to finish, but i'm posting the Odin, Modem, And PIT Link in about 2 minutes
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
Awsome sauce.... what do u mean by odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
WOW....That's all I can say again. It's like you live on this site! Talk about customer service!!!

Thanks again...

BTW, I only have 1 lil issue, but am not sure how to repeat. Sometimes, its as though the phone is trying to make a call on its own, but only makes noise through the earpiece speaker. It just clicks on, then I can hear a ittle bit of static, then it clicks off. It continues til I reboot. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the bluetooth stack. I use Motorola S305 headset all day. I thought it may have started when my headphones turn off, and I have a music player on, but not playing. Just as if it's trying to switch outputs. I listen to music, pandora and I use the phone as an MP3 player when I workout @ lunch. I am still trying to figure out how to repeat...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Hmmm... I'm not sure why this is... but i'm uploading the DK17 and from what i've heard, and tested myself... this phone has little to no issues... i mean yeah, it has some, but nothing that big.... And thanks for the subtle "you have no life loser" lol j/k :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
I have a question but I don't think its rom related... when I try and make a call it will show that its ringing but u don't hear anything and sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries till it starts ringing
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah that has something to do with the phone's delay system... it's on a 2 ring delay by default so sometimes it doesn't even ring ...i'll look to see if i can find the code for that again so you can change it if you want
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
Cool thanks man

Pit

I am running the 2.2 with the DK17 modem. Do I need to install the pit file or just the new rom? Also I am having Launcher Pro f/c on boot up but after that running just fine. No problems otherwise. Haven't had the GPS probs a lot are having or any of that other stuff. Great ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Hmmm... since you already have the modem booted up, you should have already loaded the pit with it, so i'd say just load the ROM... And yeah, i'm not sure why it does that, but hopefully it's fixed with the update
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
So i can't remember who wanted these, but here's the sprint tv and nav ...just flash it through clockworkmod and it'll be good to go :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
any change log for 2.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ipaq3115:
Never mind the changelog :P we just want the download... is it close? Cause my f5 button is getting a workout ;-)

Question though. Does it matter which you do first? Modem or ROM? Don't quite understand, I'm guessing the modem is completely separate from the ROM but I don't really know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Pit file

No, I didn't do the pit and tar file install in odin. Only the modem.bin in the phone section. Its been working well for me. Did I screw something up unwittingly? Everything is working well ATM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
in that case, you should probably flash the pit before the ROM because of the files the pit installs so the ROM can work properly sorry...

Also, the changelog for 2.3 is as follows...

It's the same as 2.2, only it's DK17...

removed installation to sdcard, and installed apps to data

made transparent dropdown status bar

removed gtg touchwiz due to forceclose, added stock

added another launcher

give me feedback and i'll make changes accordingly :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Here it is ...go crazy :p

Click Here for VIPERrom [IMPact] DK17 2.3

That's the ROM only ...the PIT and modem are in the OP with the download links.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
The WM phones used to have an option you could change to make the ring delay longer or shorter. You needed your MSL, go to ##DEBUG#, go into settings, CDMA and change the 'slot cycle index' that would change the time it takes to respond to and from the tower when placing or receiving a call. I checked on the Epic, and didn't find that option. If abyone knows or thinks this can be changed on Android phones, please post up! that would be a great help...
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
DLing now...Thanks again. I meant nothing by that customer service comment. It was a HUGE compliment to your attentiveness to your work and the helping of others. I just used your upload for Odin, modem and pit files. Worked like a charm. Thanks again. I will once again, be up late again tonight flashing yet another one of your ROM updates...:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
Thomas, you are the best! I see u gave me links to apps I wanted back(nav &tv). I'm very grateful and I love your rom. I'm gonna run the modem in the morn and the new rom is already downloaded so I can flash it. I'm so looking forward to showing my sister and bro in law who both have droids how viper alows for hulu!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Once again

I have the DK17 modem from the modem.bin. I will odin the pit file. Do I need to odin the modem.tar. I am not sure what the differences are. Is there a way I can tell which pit is on my phone? Please forgive the noobieness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey mr. BThomas22x, quick question. Did you zipalign, deodexed(I think I spelled that right) the ROM, and everything else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Zipaligned, deodexed, and prerooted for your convenience :) ...also, i've included the busybox installation app ...keep it handy ...i'm fairly certain i just figured the lagfix out (as an update.zip) ...i'm gonna test for a little, then i'll let everyone know :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
Hey bt can you hook up the clear notification .zip for dk17? You mentioned in in the op. Thx good work.

Question to do the pit files and modem in odin do i follow the Part one instructions in the OP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] honest1212:
You are one of very few dedicated developer and we love you seeing here working for community !

Thanks a a lot for such a wonderful work !

My donations are on their way...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
Yes, follow the instructions at the end of part 1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yerp... place "pit" in "pit" and "modem.bin" in "phone" ...then make sure ONLY reboot (and debug if you wish) is checked, then simply hit start :)

Should take a total of maybe a minute and a half.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
does the dk17 kernel included in version 2.3 or do i need to download from op and flash it after flashing the kernel? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:
I followed all the instructions on the main page...odin worked great (much easier than I thought) wiped date,cache and dalvik 3X each for overkill and good measure, then downloaded the new rom (2.3)started up great, but when i try to go into the market to download apps or update all but flash something went wrong. The phone made a couple short vibrations then reset. Any ideas on what I can do to fix? Sorry to start off with a complaint. I love your work and really appreciate you always being there quickly to help us all out, any suggestions would be great, thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
The Kernel is included :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fidelio_o:
Anyone have a fix for the non protected apps not showing up on the market? Other than that. This rom is pretty much perfect man. Awesome work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Try re-flashing the ROM ...if it doesn't work after that, let me know and we'll get it figured out
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
let me do some searching ...i remember seeing a fix for this, but i can't remember where ...gimme a little and i'll report back
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fidelio_o:
I believe you are looking for this?

I cant try it. My Epic is not recognize by my macbook pro i7. On neither the mac side or the PC.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Odining and flashing was a complete breeze. Will report back! :) Seems all smiles so far :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fidelio_o:
Ran into a major issue. Cant download any apps from the market. The phone begins vibrating when it gets to installing than resets, back to the home screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Yeah, I wiped all again, reflashed and still the same thing. It downloads fine, but it restarts when installing. I'm going to try just reflashing over without a wipe to see if any difference. Any other suggestions? Sorry, Happy Thanksgiving!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
same for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
This happen to me too :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
My fault guys ...i've fixed it, but i gotta upload the ROM again ...please gimme a little... it's uploading now.

oh, and i've edited the build.prop to allow searching for all apps
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
i know usually after a fresh flash the phone can be a little slow, but compared to your other versions this was crawling along for me.. nothing im sure you can't fix though. im going to try to reflash to see if that helps, do you know when the new upload will be ready? gotta get to bed soon for an early morning road trip
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fidelio_o:
No problem man. You schizo and Dameon are by far keeping this forum going. I personally appreciate all the work you guys put in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks a lot ...this is what i was looking for ...edited the build.prop and it comes stock with VIPERrom now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:
No problem man, knew you'd be right on top of it. Thank you! Will I need to redo odin part again too or just download the rom again and reflash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You'll just need to re-flash the ROM :) ...the modem is good to go
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
do you know when will the lagfix be ready? thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] warlar12:
Whats the difference between the DK05 and the DK17?

Also should I wipe before updating to the newer version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
idk if anyone else is having this problem , but i get no signal, hold down power and airplane mode says on, tap to turn off. still no signal and i go to settings > wireless and networks and the whole menu is flashing and airplane mode is checking and unchecking every second or so..
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Did you flash the Modem too?
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
yea i flashed it the day it came out
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
reflashing modem now just to be sure
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
i feel kinda stupid now lol.

the first time i tried to flash the dk17 , the baseband version stayed dk05, i asked a few times if it was supposed to change but never got a straight answer (btom wasnt online at the time i dont think) but anyways i apparently never flashed it successfuly bc NOW my baseband version does say dk17.

<-- noob :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Yeah, I had the same problem. It kept freezing, then restarting t my home screen, and I know I installed and wiped right.. any thougts BThomas22x?? Nevermind BThomas, i see ur ontop of it, good work!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey everyone, I just noticed that BThomas's RATING is only at a little over 4 stars?? WTF?? I'd like to ask everyone to take a look at the ratings in the OP and give this guy a great, honest rating! Look for the stars in the OP at the top. I see he's REALLY taking care of everyone here, so please, take a few sec's and give this thread a awesume rating, for a awesume ROM!!

Goodnight/morning....

[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
Ok I like the dark drop down in 2.2 , can make that available for download
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
We still waiting for the upload?
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I think so, I re-downloaded the 2.3 and I still get the reset after trying to install any programs from the market or .apk I have on the sdcard...
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I am also noticing my 3G icon disappearing too. It seems to require a reset to get it back...

I am pretty sure I have the latest modem. It says DK17 under the baseband, but when I used Odin, I got the green box to say pass, but it said 1 file succeeded and 1 file failed. Not sure this means anything, but I thought I would post up this info.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Make sure you have debugging enabled on your phone when you use odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
what does the debugging do? also when u click debugging 2 other check boxes open up should those be checked also?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
No just check mark debugging. It allows certain changes to be made. But other boxes shouldnt open. To enable debugging menu, settings, applications, development, check enable debugging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
Ahh maybe I should try doin that lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
Damn, I knew I forgot something...lemme redo that and post back...

OK, now it said all threads complete (1 succeeded/0 failed)...Hopefully I did it correctly this time...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
NO!!!!! Don't do that! You can really mes up your phone!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
No need to odin you just have to wait until 2.3 with the fixes are released.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I don't think that's what they meant. On certain versions of odin, there's a box to check to the right in ODIN, not in the phone. On the 1st version of Odin that noobnl made, there was a box you could check that had debug, but it was in the Odin screen/program...
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
As I posted, I redid the modem.bin and PIT files with Odin, and reflashed the ROM again, just to check, and yes I still get the reset upon installing any program...I have no doubt BThomas will fix, just gotta be patient. It is Thanksgiving afterall.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
Lol don't worry I don't do anything past what I don't know lol I never checked the debugging and flashing anything
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Did it fix the 3g icon disappearing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] deciple:
I've odin flashed stock dk17 and flashed 2.3 and when I try to install any apps the phone vibrates once then twice then restarts. I had to flash back to 2.2. What do you think might be my trouble?

The old one

Is this the one BT took down so that he could upload the new less buggy version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] onilink67:
dunno I pulled to be safe since its said uploading since early this morning figured the upload was finished but he fell asleep. I pulled the link to make sure not that it can damage anyones phone but can get some annoying comments. I read back a few pages and saw the old version had issues but not that he pulled it so figured 2.2 was the one with issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Gotcha

That one was on the thread a little after midnight. At least thats when I DL/ed it. While I was waiting on my phone to fully charge testers started reporting issues. So I held off. When I awoke this morn it had downloading rather than the link. Gets confusing huh lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] onilink67:
I'm downloading it still (very slow for some reason) I may or may not have time to test it today but if I can I post some results. i've used tested some of these roms in the past but enjoy doing my own off a stock build to have it the way i want it.

This is my 3rd android phone and normally don't release mine as they are built for me and nothing truly revolutionary just the way I prefer things. I tend not to like to deal with all the whining no offense ;). I may start to do some kernal work when the source gets released though.

The WORKING update will be up in about 20 minutes... sorry guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] monadzback:
Same issue. thank god i did a backup
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i would suggest to op to remove any link for the rom that is not fixed. people might loose confidence.

just a friendly advice
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I am assuming that we hold on this one. after trying to keep up with the aggressive releases I have 2.2 up and running with dk17. I also assume that I can skip 05. I see modern and kernel inter changed frequently.sorry for re hashing if previously addressed.

The only issues I have seen may be by design. I read that a press and hold of back sensors in froyo but have yet to see that. Also a press and hold on back in browser no longer produces my history. Are therese expected anyone?

Thank s for ask the work and dedication. I will rock the rom for now and let totty know of further weirdness.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hellorenauldo:
For some strange reason I have no service after flashing this rom. I went under the wireless networks settings and it just went crazy. Airplane mode was toggling on and off for some reason, like really fast, and i wasnt able to do anything.tried to reboot adn still the same thing. i'll reflash the rom and see from there
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
you have to download the DK17 modem for this rom ...it wont work without it.

Once you flash the modem, it will run smooth.

aah, thanx. im coming from an EVO so im new to this. but thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
move the HTC_IME from the impact folder to "/data/apps" and install.

let me know if that doesn't work, i'll create an update.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:

[Epic 4G Android Development] hellorenauldo:
guess I did something wrong, but I moved the files in their respective places, and I got a success, but the phone is now stuck in airplane mode. Ah, well.. i'll downgrade to the 2.2 until I can get this figured out.

Does it matter if you flash the rom first? I did the modem, then flashed the rom.

EDIT: I got it now, I unzipped the modem.bin that you had and used it instead of another one that i had. rom running great!
