Has anyone else had issues running the a2sd script in terminal emulator? The script runs fine but fails to move the apps because of a mounting/permission error. The problem is that the error occurs after the /data/app is deleted so after you run the script all the apps force close and you have to reboot and restore /data from a nandroid backup. Disabling as2d after doing so makes returns the phone to the pre-a2sd script condition. Has anyone used the a2sd script successfully (not the apk)?

any word on when this rom is gettin updated again with working GPS and flawless 4G?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
I also experience the battery temp message. Other than that little annoyance this ROM is incredible. I wish I had the patience and fortitude of you guys on the viper team to put in the hours that you do and listen to everybody's gripes. As long as people realize that these are works in progress and keep the comments to constructive critisism to enable the fine tuning of he product, all will be well in the end. Keep up the good work

Baseband Version

I have used Odin before and after flashing the .pit file in the pit section and the modem file in the phone section, I got another "happy ending"! Odin saw the Com Port, flashed/passed within 26 seconds, rebooted the phone and brought me back to the rom I was on (Viper 2.6).

I do, however, have a couple of questions for BT or any of you other experts. - - To make sure that everything actually worked, was I supposed to end up with a "stock" rom? And are these descriptions correct:

Firmware Version: 2.2.1

Baseband Version: SD700.0.55.DK28

Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9

Hardware Version: D700.0.5

Thanks in advance for your responses. I just wanted to make sure that these are correct before I flash the Viper 3.0!
[Epic 4G Android Development] iceman19631:
This is it!!!

:D There just can't be anything else that's smoother/faster than this rom. Before I flashed the rom, I did the 3 wipes of data, cache, dalvich and then I Odined the Modem.tar. I made the mistake of putting the Modem.tar in the phone section of Odin...kinda glad I did. After flashing the rom, everything is working perfectly well. GPS gets a lock in as little as 5 seconds. The speed is great when freshly installed, even before I restored my backups and started using SetCPU. BT...you put both your feet in it this time dude. This is one sweet rom and I'm thinking that a BIG THANK YOU is in order.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Strauss,

He's working on it. GPS is working for many of us. It's hit or miss for others. The 4G issue is being addressed. If you need a working 4G rom, you can try ACS or Quantum but be forwarned...no eye candy on those. Or just sit back and wait for Viper's next ROM. It's up to you but you have to be willing to wait with patience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
BTW, wired tethering is built in. In Setttings/Wireless you should see a tethering option. Connect to USB and enable that option (make sure latest samsung epic drivers have been installed on PC before attempting to use this).
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
OK then ill stay on stock until he get his beautiful Rom kinked out ...thnx all the Devs and BT on that sick Viper Rom ..

ps..just make sure those sick startup sounds are in there lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
BT,

I have a bug that is pissing me off on 2.6... if I take a pictue with the stock Camera app, it only works for one picture. After I review/close the first piture, the camera app looks like it is working but does not respond to any on-screen button presses, nor does it respond to any pressing of the physical camera button. To take another picture I need to end the camera task and relaunch.

Any ideas why this I happening?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
this helped me too, did it few min ago, by a recommendation from someone at the EE rom, and all is well

I did the ODIN agaain because I missed a step and the blue line while downloading didn't show up so once I did it again and flashed the Rom EVERYTHING so far works fine and rather smoothly. There are a couple of different ways to update the 28. I would make sure if it doesn't work to try it using the alternative method and check it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
BT,

Can you please put in your next version a fix to keep the "Stay awake" option in Development enabled after reboot?

Also, are you going to incorporate the clockwork redirector mod?

Thanks home skillet!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
does the hourglass mod still work with the new update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Aha, I should have read the OP first. Thanks :)

EDIT: This is GPSFix.zip? Or is it because the photos are trying to geotag, so it is related to the GPS?

yeah the GPSFix.zip did NOT fix my camera bug. I still can only take 1 picture. What's going on??
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Is this VIPERom specific or Froyo specific or what?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
I just noticed a bug with the directional arrows on the keyboard.... the left button is mapped to down, the down is mapped to left, the up button is right, and right is up....

[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
It didn't for me so don't flash it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
It would be Froyo specific.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Did you read the instructions? You don't flash this. You have to unrar/unzip the file and manually replace the camera.apk and cameraFirmware.apk found in system/app with the unzipped ones. You can push using adb or do it on the phone using root explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
Can the ViperSpeed lag fix be used on a normal rooted Epic, or does it have to be used with this ROM?

The Rom is cool and all but I like to keep things as stock as possible and just adding speed and performance
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
I don't know if this helps, but for the sake of troubleshooting...

When I saw that 4G was going loopy with 3.0, I flashed the stock de-odexed rom from ACS...then I installed Rodderick's green battery meter mod. It started going heywire... Could it be that the blue battery meter in 3.0 is causing issues with 4G???
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Hmmm I had the same problem But I haven't restored anything,
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
I'm not going to point out anyone or any post in particular. There are MANY that this post addresses. As has been mentioned, if more people would read and/or learn to use search we would be on post number 600 or 700 in this thread instead of ~2500.

A few of things to general to keep in mind, please:

1) BT is in the the military with a full time gig protecting you from the baddies. Besides being thankful for his help with our EPICs... you might offer him some thanks for his service.

2) Additionally, BT is stationed in Hawaii Therefore, might I also suggest that you understand how time zones work and the fact that at 12 noon on the East Coast it is only 7 AM in Hawaii. So messages (especially those at 10 or 11 in the morning on a Sunday) that have a tone of impatience, while out of line anyway, are WAY out of line with this point taken into consideration. Patience please.

3) All of these guys, Dameon, Noobnl, BT and the rest are not doing this for YOU. They do this for themselves and are kind enough to share their talents and end products with all of us. As mentioned above, we need to respect their schedule and keep in mind how much we are paying for their services...

4) The ROMs you are using are ALL experimental (unless they are pure stock). The Devs are tweaking, streamlining, removing Bloatware, etc. with hopes of boosted performance, more space and increased functionality. They are pretty damn smart but sometimes there are unintended consequences.

If you are in such a situation that you HAVE to have a ROM that is 100%... then leave these alone and stick with stock... or at least read enough of thread on a ROM to determine which ROMs have been reviewed as being very stable.

Simply downloading the very latest release and then coming into this thread and posting things like "this ROM is unusable", "the last three ROMs haven't been stable", "I'm going to go use __enter other ROM name here__ until you can get something stable going", etc. are not helpful to the Devs fixing issues.

All that being said... what IS helpful is describing problems and repeatable issues (that is, you have been able to get the phone to FC repeatedly under specific circumstances). It is PERFECTLY valid to point out that you are getting FCs under particular circumstances, that something is graphically wrong or very unpleasing, or that something is broken, i.e. GPS..... but understand.... it is also expected that things will be broken now and then given the experimental nature of all of their efforts.

Sorry this got so long but as I read these threads (Yup! I've read every single post in this and the Quantum threads) the tone of voice, the repetitiveness of the questions and/or the demanding sound of too many of these post gets to me and I have to unload like this.

Cheers and thanks to all of the Great Devs we have working on the EPIC!
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
You mean to the GPSFix.zip you linked me to? It is the same as the GPS fix in the OP, which says to flash via clockwork. I checked the OP and did not see anything related to a camera fix.

Closest I found is to flash to 2.8, but BT recommended to stay on 2.6.

[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
That's the exact problem I was describing in my original post. The problem is that the script deletes the /data/app directory and, moves the files to a directory on the sd card and sym links the /data/app and the sd card directory so the system thinks the sd directory is /data/app. Because the script is unable to move the files and sym link the two locations, there is nothing left in /data/app, hence the endless FC's. Probably a permission issue that should hopefully be easily fixable.

BT just put out a new rom, its 3.0 , flash that and wait for the new one like the rest of us, it may be a day or 2 before BTom is ready to drop a new one. i personally have told you at least 2 times how to install the dk28 and how to flash it. if nobody's helping you now i don't blame them bc you're making it harder than it needs to be. follow. the. op.

You don't need to appologize to anyone for taking a break. You do more for people than the law allows and too many folks here are ungrateful. I've been lurking around here since the early days reading everything and am amazed at how greedy people can be and yet you try to accomodate all of them. Hats of to you my man. I'm 58 years old, I can't progrm or develop anything but I do enjoy the latest technologies. There is one post not too far back that pretty much mirrors my sentiments that my only other post in this thread states and that is, these ROMS are a work in progress, please restrict your comments to constructive critisism and not insults. Constructive critisism means, tell what doesn't work so that it can be addressed so that down the line there may eventually be a product that is near perfect. Since things are ever changing there is the possibility that things may never be perfect. Be thankful for what the Viper team is doing and quit nagging and making useless hurtful remarks. Just two cents from an old soldier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
BThomas,

No need to apologize. Cook your stuff and keep it in the tester loop until all is good. Those in a rush need to chill out. The damn thing hasn't been out for more than 24 hours so they must wait.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
I don't know if this will help your situation or not, but . . . I Odin'd the pit and modem files without a problem and then was able to go into CW through the "3 finger death grip". I then wiped (x3) everything and flashed the Viper 3.0 and it loaded up fine.

Not sure if there is a CW redirector built in that allows you to use a program like ROM Manager instead of the 3-button deal as I have not tried one. I can, however, tell you that I Odin'd, wiped, flashed the new rom, and then went back to try the 3-button deal and CW came up like normal.

Also, my GPS works, my 4G doesn't (don't have it in my area anyway so I couldn't tell you what I'm missing) no problems with the camera, and everything else is amazing!
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
what I just did was flash the all in rom DK28 with built in rooting and CW recovery and its a stock rom and wanna reflash Viper 3.0 BUT..all i was asking is do I have to erase root (how to do it if so ?)or can I just DL the Viper rom and flash it right over a already rooted deoxed stock rom ? BTW i flashed GPS fix over my current rom and still dont work
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
im pretty sure , although it was a few months ago, i started with 1 click root , didnt unroot before installing any roms, make sure you actually have dk28 by checking your specs in the about phone settings, then flash 3.0 thru cw

Off topic a little bit, I too believe in search, but have you guys try using the "Search this thread button for working 4g?"..it bring up nothing...unless I am typing something wrong in search..ie 4g search/working 4g/ is 4g working...etc, it brings up nothing, even tho search is a good/great thing,it has it's limits...Great job BT, I have/will keep donating to you cause I believe/like all your roms..thank you for blue eyes back and add our sound too... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
You need to be rooted to flash a custom rom. Make sure that viper 3.0 is downloaded to your sdcard. Do the 3 button death grip, wipe data 3x, cache 3x and dalvik cache. Then go to install zip from sdcard, select viper 3.0 and install it. Once installed reboot and enjoy. Also good to get a 2nd opinion.

[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
I appreciate that he put the application background back to transparent like i asked.....but the difference is I asked - I didn't act pushy......

People here are asking 10 times in 2 hours if the mobileapp part is working. I don't even get why that's so important. Nothing is so important to bug the guy 10 times in 120 mins when he's sleeping!

Even 4g isn't that important. At this point I'm thrilled with a nice fast rom that has no bloatware! and it looks damn sexy to boot!

I was absolutely amazed that when i went to bed the new Froyo was just coming out and I wake up and here we are with 3.0 - just amazing that this guy does all this work for people and doesn't even PUSH for donations.

I already donated once and I'll be doing it again when i get my pay check. Hell sprint should be paying this guy!

Hopefully all you people who are rushing him and bugging him to do stuff will throw him at least 10 bucks for all the time he spends trying to make his and YOUR phone better!

[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
No. What you need to do is follow the instructions on the first page.

The ones enumerated 1-5... under the (obviously very confusing) heading "INSTRUCTIONS".

I guess I would tell you to first verify on your phone that you have Baseband version S:D700.0.5S.DK28.

If you can confirm that then just do instructions 4 and 5.... to a "T"... and you'll be all set.

Do not skip anything in the instructions, i.e. the wipes...
