I personally think it is the placebo effect. Someone tells you something does something, so your mind thinks it is.

CMod proved that this trick is good for nothing more than inflating benchmark scores. Go read up a little on linux and how filesystems work.

Not trying to bash anyone, but posting a "lagfix" that simply inflates scores, and doesn't offer real-world-performance gain is a bit misleading.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Like I said, I'm not sure if its the rom or lagfix. However I do feel a difference between other dk05 rom's out right now. I do not go by scores & never have. It's the way programs open faster, rotates faster, etc. I can't explain it, you would have to see for yourself :p

I'm not tryng to argue your point, I'm just going by what the difference in speed I feel from everything else out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
man imagine an xda forum where people were considerate enough to search and read before posting? i have a dream... (ok too far) .

btom (can i call ya btom?) , you have an incredible amount of patience and reserve my brother.. don't know how ya do it.

people : lagfix and lock screen lag are in no way, at all, in any shape or form, correlated. it's insane how many people keep asking about the lock screen lag. it's here, it's queer. deal with it. as MANY MANY have stated before, nobody can fix it ATM. stop asking. when source codes are released and these geniuses of devs are ABLE to do something about it, i PROMISE , you WILL hear about it. it WILL be a new thread, and everybody will know about it. so please, for the love of (insert your higher power here) stop asking.

ok theres my rant, i feel better now. nobody will read this but i now have a sliver more peace of mind

oh and btom, awesome job with the rom, keep it up, you're my fave epic dev by a long shot! i've been on your rom since day 1,the 12th i think, maybe? no complaints that havent been address already

that is all
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Ok so i took the lagfix down, but if anyone wants it, just shoot me a pm, because even though someone said it doesn't work, my tech guy at sprint said it boosted speed by about 10% due to the reserved space.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks... I appreciate the support :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mohwak:
I thought mine was freezing but I just needed to run Odin as admin. then it worked perfect

Anyon having probz with the stock messaging? I keep getting fc everytime
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
it's supposed to say that don't sweat it just input everything in I even copy/paste the inputs and it still works out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
There is nothing to make the full screen work unfortunately at this point.

And I don't know if it's how he implemented it into the rom but the lag fix ABSOLUTELY makes a difference on this particular Rom. It is noticeable and I would not like the Rom as much without it. Please don't take the Lagfix down because it's thought of as to only be a benchmark steroid. It's more than that for this Rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
after reflashing with just the rom and removing the lagfix my quadrant score actully went up to 1050 where as with the lagfix it was at 960
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks for the support. It's back up :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
what number did you type in as your count? because if you typed 300000 it woulda been higher, so if you typed a lower number, it isn't going to make that much of a difference... I believe i stated in the op, the lower the number, the lower the lagfix speed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
yea...no i understood that i had typed in 200000 b/c at 300000 i couldnt install anything
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol you must have a LOT of apps on your phone... It's all good though, at least now we know that the phone runs better without it if you're only running 200000.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
lol yea i didnt think i had that many (its using about 200MB) but after that i was like hmm that wont work lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] uranidiot:
wow already
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks :) ...and the lagfix.apk is in the OP about 3/4 down the post
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
yea something is wrong when i hit 4g it acts funny says i entered wrong password then connects then when i click 4g off the phone vibrates like 3 times and holds up then blanks and goes back to lockscreen ...plz helpppp
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
yea same here as soon as it connects to 4g phone locks up and cant do nothing and resets on lock screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
I just went into recovery and hit fix permissions maybe that will help ...Do you guys have any insight ..if so tell what exactly I should do and ill do it
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Did you flash the DK28 Modem?

And for everyone else having 4g issues ...i'm on it ...gimme a little bit
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
when you say flash the dk28 modem idk lol all i did was flash Odin of stock 2.2.1 then root with 1 click and clockwork recovery then flashed ur rom ..that is exactly what i did and i originally came from rooted 2.1 update 1 with clockwork but like i said i flashed back to the new dk28 stock 2.2.1 then did all this
[Epic 4G Android Development] superradrudeboy:
Thank you so much for this Thomas. is the stock icon zip compatible with viperrom 3.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah that's the one ...and the op is the original post ...it's #1 in this thread :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
Like mentioned the OP there is a link to download the Odin, modem and pit for DK28 then just follow the instruction on post 2 to flash the DK28
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
It should be.
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
So, following directions from sniperkill, I need to remove root before I install 3.0...thats where I am confused, would you be so kind as to tell me how to do that? I'm getting to ba a pro at rooting and flashing ROM's, but I havent had to remove root yet, though it makes since as it was explained. Just dont want to have any avoidable issues because I was too lazy to follow up on a required step.

Thanks guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
This is 100% correct... download the "Odin3v1.6, DK28 PIT, DK28 Modem.bin" and odin the pit and modem... the pit goes in pit, and Modem.bin goes in "phone"... make sure "reboot" is the only thing checked. That's probably why your 4g wasn't working lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
yes plz inform us that prerooted then flashed ur rom what to do so I can refix this and sleep lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
so from where I am right now rooted and clockwork u want me to redownload odin and modem reflash then what how will i get recovery ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
one other thing that i seen was that when i dl the odin with the rest of the files there was no modem.bin there was a modem.tar is this the same or diff???

And yes that might be why my 4g doesn't work forgot to check only the reboot...... do i just re-flash it like if i was redoing it??
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
acs thread says: "check only "Auto Reboot" on the left, use the PIT in the "PIT" section and modem.tar in the "PDA" section on the right"

i put the modem in the pda tab. could this be my problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Im doin pit and modem now through odin ......well it went through and went back into ur rom now what do I do

edit....4g is still buggy
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
ummm yea that wat i remember how it was and thats exactly what i did this time around only thing is that i forgot to only have the auto reboot checked... so that might be why its acting funny but for the most part u should be ok how u did it. Hope that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
well i flashed modem.bin and pit and still no prl/profile update and 4g is messing up and lockin homescreen for like 30 secs ...idk what to do
[Epic 4G Android Development] superradrudeboy:
just an FYI. i installed stockicons.zip through clockwork, and upon booting up i get nothing but force close errors.

"The Application google services framework (Process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly"

on gmail, mms, swype.

It's no problem though. i'm re-installing the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
from here i can no longer help lol as it is happening to me 2. Just gotta wait on BT and see what his fix brings us... He did say he was working on it.. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
can I just reflash to stock 2.2.1 and start over from here someone answer quick plz lol

nm already flasing back to stock 2.2.1 fresh
[Epic 4G Android Development] kson09:
does anyone have any ideas as to why i am unable to install the lag fix? rebooted the phone 3 times already and tryed it multiple times.. every time i try to install keep getting "You do not have enough free space in /data to use this fix. PLease free up space before using this fix."

currently on the latest viper rom dk28 3.0 beta
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Nice job BT.

Does 3.0 come with any lagfix included? If so, is it the same baked in one or did you figurw out how to get your apk one to stick while flashing? :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
hey BTthomas im flashed fully back to stock 2.2.1 using Odin ...what should I do after exactly with getting root and recovery ...

PS step by step from froyo 2.2.1 stock instructions would help bro ...Thnx
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Turning on 4g does that multiple vibrations and then restarts the phone with 3.0 like it did in the market a couple releases back,
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
ok well fully back to stock and still cant update prl/profile does anyone have any insight to this problem ..or does it not matter ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] brizzle1986:
Man just when I thought I checked everything was working....i confirm that 4G not working
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
you didnt follow the instructions, you have to have at least 40% batt life and at least 400 mb free, about the only way to have that much free space is to install lagfix BEFORE installing ANY other apps, that means you flash, reboot, and install lagfix before any thing else

as for everybody's questions about the modem and pit the instructions are written out in the post right after the original post.

pull up odin , put phone in download mode, plug phone in , put pit in pit section and modem.bin in phone section , only reboot is checked, click start. odin does the rest, phone reboots, you give it a min or so to set up , then you turn phone off , boot into recovery and flash trinity rom 3.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Ok BT i have fully restored to 2.2.1 and formatted my SD card just in case now what lol

Hey im stock froyo 2.2.1 I could just DL clockwork rom manager install clockwork recov and then flash his rom prerooted right ???
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
**** it goin to bed with stock hopefully in the morning ill get some good news
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
any issues on stock froyo for you? data issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
nah everything is good just cant manually prl/profile update but i dont think that matters
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
To be honest, Im not sure...I was just following what sniperkill had said to do...that if you installed one click root and recovery after ODIN, then you need to uninstall root before you flash 3.0 so the "roots" dont conflict with each other. BT's ROM is prerooted so it will restore root access when you flash it in CW...

Hope that wasnt as confusing as it sounds...

The program in that link provides a specific option (#5 I believe) to remove only root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
all the instruction you need are in the first 2 posts .just read. download the odin modem and pit dk28 from the op, follow the instructions from the 2nd post part 1 of the op, flash the rom. its literally all in the first 2 posts
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Is ViperROM 3.0 faster or "better" than previous versions? Only reason I ask is cuz, IMO, 2.6 was more stable than both 2.7 and 2.8 and am extremely happy with it at the time, but would like to go to 3.0 if your experiences are up to par with what I've been getting out of 2.6. TIA for any responses!
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
I already flashed back to stock i dont need the dk28 modem i have flashed with odin the froyo update 2.2.1 i was waitin on a fix for his rom and figuring out how to remove root then flash his **** but im too tired ill try when i wake up tomorrow lol thank though gnite all
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
nope. It doesnt work that way for us as of yet. Just do the all-in-one, and uninstall root after you install clockworkmod and root...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mideastbeast:
It's faster and better than 2.6. Smooth sailing minus PRL update but I'm not sure if that's the rom or what. Very happy with 3.0 so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] erytery:
ok, ive been messing with Rom's for a while now, but this is my first experience with odin. I followed the Part 1's instructions and ran odin and finished and everything was good. Flashed the rom, and it loaded. But now i have no reception, 0 bars on 3g or 4g.

I dont even know where to start troubleshooting.... any advice?

Thank you

Edit: I read the first 12 pages of posts but didnt see anyone with my problem, sorry if im bringing up a fixed issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey BT,

Got a question: About this a2sd thing on your rom. I installed your lagfix, along with I partitioned my sdcard (512mb ext3 with no swap). After I installed the lagfix @200mb ext2, I installed terminal emulator and opened it up and typed,"su/ then a2sd, it ran its course then it FC'd on me???? Just wondering watcha thought about that???
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Open up Odin again, THEN power off your phone and power up into dowmload mode, then plug your phone in. Re-flash the modem.tar again and you should be good...
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:

[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Did you include Darktremors Apps2SD? Or is it the stock froyo one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Darktremors a2sd

Sent from my VIPERrom [TRiNiTY] DK28 3.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
After I type "launch a2sd", it simply says launch: not found. Am I doing it wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
yes, I can confirm that a2sd does in fact work. I just ran the commands thru terminal emulator with success. Start term emul, type these commands:

1. first you gotta backup your sdcard

2. boot into clockworkmod, and select,"advanced"

3. select,"partition sdcard" then select 512mb partition, then select OM for swap

4. this will WIPE ALL data on sdcard

5. then put back backed up contents to sdcard

6. at that point your sdcard will be partitioned

7. then download terminal emulator from market

8. open up term emulator and type as follow's:

1. su ( #this will pop up)

2. a2sd (it will do its thing)

3. a2sd cache (to put cache on sdcard)

4. a2sd repair (repairs errors that might have happened during command running)

Theres more commands, but I dont have time atm... BUT, you cant have a2sd AND the lagfix installed on your phone. You either gotta have one, or the other...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Wait... you typed "a2sd" or "start a2sd" then "launch a2sd"?

I'm not trying to be a jerk but I have faithfully downloaded the last three releases only to flash back. The last time I did so titanium backup looked at me and said "dude you are wearing me out!" I want to know are there any major issues with this ROM? Mods like mobile ap and tv out don't really concern me but I need things like basic functionality.

Again there is no dev here that I know of that is as flexible and willing to please as you are but I'm just a little weary of reinstalling all of my apps and then sending half if them to the sd card only to have to go back to a working version

[Epic 4G Android Development] Johnny.Bravo:
A couple of problems I have discovered:

1. There is some sort of conflict with ROM Manager. After installing it I rebooted and the phone froze on boot up. Had to pull the battery and run clockwork data restore (effectively uninstalling ROM Manager) and it works fine now.

2. Battery charged pop-up is wrong. Once it reached 100% the pop-up said "Charging paused, battery temperature is too high" and right below it was a second pop-up saying that the battery is low and that it needs to be charged.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Yup battery charge pop-up seems to be incorrect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
i dont have this issue, are you guys sure your not restoring old data from previous roms? maybe im just lucky.

edit: i did have a fc trying to use astro to to view/set wallpaper but only when i tried from "settings" not using astro icon, odd but its still not a biggie.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
Now I've seen two odin options, install modem at phone and pda.. Which is correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] deciple:
Modem goes in the phone the tar file goes in the pda. However if you flash the full tar file, you don't need the modem because it's already in the tar file.
