Hi Guys,

Do you know if going into downloading mode is a requirement to use odin to upgrade the modem and PIT. Odin seems to only recognize my phone when the phone is not on downloading mode and sees com 4. But when I go into downloading mode I get that the usb is not recognized. I did some digging and I think Ive tried every suggestion I could find to get around the usb not recognized message. Here's hoping I can bypass the download mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Oh ok Thanks. Will proceed, didn't lose root or anything like some others are experiencing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Sorry man, has to be in DL mode.

Try switching USB ports, only two of my 3 ports recognized my phone. Its a common thing with everyone.

Also, make sure you start Odin before you plug your phone in.

Start Odin, Put your phone in DL mode, than plug it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
A lil stuck. I got pass the null problem but the last step in OP. I dont have that option to install Viperspeedv+1 only to uninstall it. Am I suppose to install Viperspeed 1.0.1? and set at 200mb?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Beej. If you actually read my post, I said nothing about the lagfix negative or positive. I only said that quadrant is a broken benchmark and should not be used. next time actually read the post.

The benchmark has serious issues in reference to being able to be tricked, it is highly optimized to take advantage of snapdragon processors, and it is inconstent with actual performance. All of this adds up to a broken, unreliable, and inconsistent benchmark.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Theres two requirements you have to meet for the V1+ to become available.

Have atleast 400mb free space on your phone (not SD card)

Have atleast 40% battery life.

If you meet those requirements and the options not there to install it, press "Restore Boot Animation" in the Installer and when thats finished V1+ should be available. I believe V1+ is the option before the last bottom one when its available.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
I did do the reboot animation already. And the option above the last one is the one i asked about. Under that one it says Undo Viperspeed v+1 does that mean i'm already good to go? Or is the 1.0.1 something different?

Plus I meet the requirements according to that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Bro I love your work and stuff so I mean no offense, but I believe everyone and their mothers know Quadrant sucks. Doesn't mean people aren't going to use it. And you focusing your hatred toward quadrant in Thomas' thread just makes you looj bad. If you wish to express how much Quadrant sucks, make a thread in Themes and Apps stating the reasons it sucks. Don't just keep coming into his thread with the only thing to say is about Quadrant. So if your NOT talking about his ROM or lagfix in anyway like you just claimed, than your going off topic and that alone is against the rules anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Press the one above the last one anyway even if its Red. It'll give you an error, tell me which error it reads.

EDIT: Ah Im sorry, misread your post. Thought you meant you only had the uninstall option. :x

Yeah, install 1.0.1 or whatever it reads. Basically as long as the option before the bottom one is marked green, press it. I slid the bar all the way to the right which surpaced 200mb for me and it works fine. Thats up to you though.

Sorry for the confusion
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
The one above the last one is VIPERSPEED V1.0.1 and its green. When I click it it gives me the option to set how much the ext2 partition is. Is that the correct one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Edited my post above, sorry about that. ^.^
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
I've done it and everything went through. Sorry for not being more clear if I wasn't lol.

Back in business, Will report back if I run into any issues. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
I didn't say that you said anything positive or negative about the Lag Fix. If you think I did... provide a quote.

If YOU read MY post you would have seen that I addressed your comments on Quadrant:

>>"We ALL know your disagreement with Quadrant. It was well documented when you expressed yourself earlier in this thread... in not so nice ways. All it did was cause a bunch of crap."

I pointed out that you had already weighed in on Quadrant. And had already stated that Quadrant was not worth a damn and that coming in and doing it again was just being a jerk. I stand by what I said.

What I DID say about LF was that you had agreed to test it and weigh in on:

>>Dameon wrote: "Ill be glad to take a look though." and (to Thomas) "ill give you some feedback."

Have you done what you said you'd be glad to do? No. And THAT is what I have pointed out about LF with regard to YOU. You didn't give feedback... that I know of.... Maybe you did by PM. If so... just say so and I'm good.

HOWEVER. Trying to start an argument, as I've already pointed out, regarding Quadrant.... an issue that there are also posts by DT conceding that you were correct about was just jerky. Period.

YOU go read MY post and tell me where I said that you said anything "about the lagfix negative or positive." I didn't so don't waste your time.

I just pointed out that you didn't hold up to something you told DT you would do... and didn't.

Now. Just for giggles I went over to your Quantum Thread (another excellent ROM BTW.... I've used it and enjoy your work) to see if you told anyone that was using Quadrant with regard to Quantum that Quadrant was crap.

There are only 3 posts in YOUR thread regarding Quadrant (1 of them points out that Quadrant is "a joke"). HOWEVER. In YOUR OWN THREAD you didn't bother to tell anyone that Quadrant is inaccurate.... you just come over here and drop bombs.

Now let's get back to just making things awesome instead of crapping in our own house.

AND, you might want to keep your own house clean before you go messing all over someone else's. I'm just saying... (See even an old fart can talk cool now and then).

Beej
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Good to hear. Nah you were clear, I just misread haha.

Which method are you planning on using to restore your data? Some methods make everything force close.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
an attempt to end confusion, for me it only had install lagfix v1.0.1 not 1+, its the one right above uninstall v1+. There's the lag fix you install
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Yeahh I just thought she had said there was only the option to uninstall it. Than re-read the post.

My fault, was reading in a hurry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
Also I used titanium to restore everything (all apps and data) and nothing has force closed for me after almost a full day, I'm also setup on 2.3 though
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
I used Titanium and I ran into FC :(. This blows.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Mybackuppro ftw......I have never had an issue
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Hmmmm I'll do one by one! Sighs LOL.

BTW the Argument on the thread is pretty annoying. Would u "Guy's" take it too another thread lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Only restore user apps not system apps and if you can, only restore the apk's, not data +apk. Only restore datas for the stuff you really need, like angry birds and such.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
FC for the LogsProvider (The Phone Call Log). Gotta get a fix for this. it worked in previous iterations! Thx!

***

Afterwards, a cascade of FCs caused me to reboot the phone and now the FC is gone...*shrug* lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I got a FC loop with Launcherpro after a reboot once it was installed. I had to re-flash an older ROM (leaked DJ29 Froyo) for the time being. It's the only way to get it to work without staying in that FC loop. I love everything else about your ROM. I see there is only a handful of issues peeps are noticing. Good work!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] joeyscar:
I'm sticking with 2.2 right now..it serves all my needs and is quick.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
I get this same problem when I try to restore with TB. Could this be because you run out of room after you install the lagfix if you have too many backups?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gharris040604:
Hey what is everyone using for the ext2 setting in viper speed lag fix, I used 198mb is that sufficient?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
To me the lag fix is being more hassle then help. I love apps lol And when i restore them my phone becomes unresponsive because there's not enough memory in the lag fix.

:)

:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
You can use whatever you like, but BT said that if you put the slider all the way to the right, you'll have more room to install apps, and he said that, that's what he did, he slid it all the way to the right. As for me, I keep it somewhere around 3/4 of the way, on an even number (cuz im OCD like that, lol..). When you get to the screen where you can choose the ext2 partition size, if you rea what it says on that screen, it'll explain it more in detail...
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Can someone mirror plz....

forget it...dont know what I was thinking only trying mega....lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
Installed tis rom twice, went hru all the 4 times wipe, odin, everything... anx still getg random reboots.

Will try again when more stable. Thanks for the hard work put into this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Ignoring quadrant scores and the like, this rom is much faster than the acs stock dk17. So benchmarks aside this rom has great real world performance. To those having issues with space, why not app 2 sd? That's what I use and I have had NO issues with this rom or lagfix. It's silly that our phones have such limited system memory. I went online and bought a 16gb class 6 for like $35. I think this is a solid piece of work. Thanks BT.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dfe002:
I got a question and I'm sure it was asked but i can't find it. I'm running 2.2 can I flash to 2.4 wo using the modem and us the lagfix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Does anyone know if wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing D17 modem will solve gps problems
[Epic 4G Android Development] hisroyalmooseness:
Lets get back to collaboration on making this better no more high school arguing.....Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are smarter than all of us.

Running 2.4 with successful lag fix like the speed but here's what I've found:

* TWLauncher tray after swapping out contacts for browser ....resets itself after reboot.

*I use Swiftkey but after reboot 2.4 defaults to swype....even after unchecking keyboards in settings .

* was getting random force closing on Launcher Pro but wiped reflashed and all seems well.

Small issue so far some lag on phone dialer. All fixable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] romanmb:
Love the rom, but hate the theme. I think the icons (bluetooth, battery meter etc.) look too cartoonish and unprofessional. Is there a way to make the theme a flashable addon instead of the stock appearance?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
I believe I saw that BT would be providing a new update+new icons tonite/tomoish. Not sure if they will be more professional, but there ya go! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] babryan:
I can't seem to get the lagfix completely set. I have followed the directions exactly and can Install EXT2 tools. But when I try the boot animations, it never seems to install, even though the it runs without an error but then it return to green as if it still needs to installed. The Viperspeed v1+ option stays red. If I press anyway I get an error indicating the animation (I forget what is called) is larger than 5k or something like that. Tried most of the suggestion, but still can't get to that last step.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Try reflashing the rom... its having problems reading the root... I'm working on it, sorry guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Okay Dameon87, I can see where this is goin. I did not mean to offend you. The quadrant IS ONLY a test, as everyone here isn't using it saying that BT's ROM is any faster than the rest of the ROMS here. Everyone is ONLY using it to check to make sure they have the ROM and lagfix installed properly. Also, their not using quadrant comparing who's phone is faster than the other's. It seems as if you think that their using it saying like ,"haa, my phone's faster than your's". Or, perhaps you think that we care if quadrant is a good test to compare ROMS, WE know quadrant isn't a good test to compare from one ROM to the next. BUT, if we have the Viper ROM and lagfix installed right, and we test our phones using quadrant, we can ALL get pretty consistant scores using it! Everyone that has this ROM and lagfix installed properly, get a pretty consistant score of AROUND 1800 to 2000. So, using quadrant can tell us if we have it installed properly. So that's why I made that comment about you "trolling"(for lack of better terms). So why don't YOU take a look at the lagfix and give us your professional opinion, as I for one, respect your, and everyother XdA DEV's PROFESSIONAL input, as long as it not "hating" on anyone in particular.

P.S. Dameon87, if quadrant WAS broken, we would all b getting a substantial difference in quadrant scores, BUT, were all getting pretty consistant scores. So, what's broken about it?

This will be the last response from me pertaining to this issue. PlEASE forgive me BT...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Nah, 2.4 is dk17, and you need the dk17 modem to run dk17... ill start working on some more dk05 versions for those who don't want to flash modems

What are you talking about? my service issue?

Thanks Woody
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Oh... if anyone is still running 2.1 instead of froyo, id like to see if some people could test the lagfix to make sure its compatable
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Nah, with the service issue its because you gotta flash the modem... 2.4 won't work without it... sorry man

[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
You had the wrong modem when you flashed in Odin. Make sure it's the modem that goes with DK17. When it's done right, the bandwidth should say S:D700.0.5S.DK17
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Dk17 2.2 is with the kernel... that's why I put (kernel) beside dk17 in the op :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Bro I've said it a million times. Quadrant can be fooled by using a looped filesystem over top of /data, it is optimized for snapdragon processors only, and only takes advantage of its cpu optimizations. For example; take the Evo; It scores relatively high in Quadrant, but the epic out performs it point blank. Cyanogen proved you could get quadrant scores over 3300+ mounting a tmpfs over top of /data. The benchmark is clearly broken. The lagfix Thomas has made might improve performance a bit, but is it worthy of 900 extra points in Quadrant? Think about it. None of my recent posts are flames, or *****es, or gripes about BT's lagfix or his ROM. He does good work. My gripe is with people using a broken benchmark that cannot accurately depict performance in any way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
I can install 1.0.1, but I thought I was supposed to be installing the 1+?

if you can install the 1.0.1, install that ...i might have wrote it up wrong in the instructions.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
yes, but with all the froyo roms, and i tried them all, even without the lockscreen, the is a lag, sometimes it takes few click on the screen until it responses. i was just wondering if anyone here,that had that lag on other froyo's, doesnt have it with yours...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Mr. BThomas,

Is this a perm lag fix? Or will it only work on your rom? If I install another ROM, or I have to re-install your ROM, will the lag fix be deleted?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yes, it will be deleted as long as you do a wipe, if you don't wipe, obviously it will remain there lol... but you can port it to any rom. Make a folder on your desktop and place these files in it. Go to system/bin and grab the userinit.sh file and copy/paste to your folder, also the playlogos1 file... I would also save the busybox apk so you don't always have to download it... then to put it in a rom its the same places you took them from

the only one you can install is v-1.0.1, as the others wont let you install them. They'll come up with error's..
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Im sorry but what v-1.0.1 and where can I get that if needed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Version1.0.1 is the only one you CAN install, it's in the lagfix when you go to set it up. When BThomas22x wrote up the instructions, he meant to instruct to install v-1.0.1, instead of v-1+. (it was REAL late for him, lol)

version 2.2+, and all other versions (of the lagfix) are not ready in this apk/version of the lagfix... So install v-1.0.1, as this is the only version your gonna be able to install....
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
ok, so its included in the lag fix.apk DL?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
They've been updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Everything you need for the lagfix is included in the lagfix ...but sometimes busybox only works when it wants to so you may have to install it from the market. you can delete the installer once the lagfix is setup
