Even if the lagfix fools quadrant, it doesn't fool my eyes. I don't wanna lose it in 2.6 ;(. I don't care what other devs say lol lol.

My phone hasn't stalled once since,2.5.

Sent 4rm Kw!K S@nD sinking Epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
Nothing installed before hand...phone was actually just sitting on the coffee table for a few hours...picked it up, unlocked the screen and it started doing this.

Tried to reflash without wiping but that didnt fix it either...just going to do the whole process over...I just wont set anything up, seeing how we have 2.6 droping anytime now.

Thanks for the suggestion though...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well BT has steps for a clean install in the OP, and I posted steps too for a clean install, but I posted at the bottom of page 118 of this thread. I think that's the page... but i'd look at BT's 1st, and if they don't work, then try page 118... only take these steps if your having problems with th ROM.. I agree with yo, I always go back to stock b4 I flash ANY ROM!! Cuz I like a new, fresh start, ya feel me?
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
Yeah, got that part down pat...I was just being lazy...I wiped and reflashed, all is good with the world...just waiting for the new one to drop before i set it up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
excellent news guys *sarcastic* ...while i was out, my comp rebooted itself ...i have to re-upload again ....but it's ok, cuz i made some changes to the ROM and they'll be included now :) lol

Anyways, i'm really sorry for the inconvenience
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Lol, inconvenience? You do tons of work man! We'll wait :-)

get thE PICture?
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
you gotta be kiddin , what a huge waste of time!!

lmao im playin, but seriously - inconvenience?? you make it sound like we're paying for a service you're not providing. the only inconvenience is you doing all of this hard work constantly, nothing inconvenient about that for us who just wait for your update! ( and its not like you keep us waiting either, at least 1 update every 2-3 days, i used to have to wait 2-3 weeks for devs to update their roms! lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
EXACTLY...I don't know any other person offering his life to a personal hobby, and apologizing to a forum for a failed upload! lolol No worries!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
BT and the rest of the crew....

Since people are hanging out in the VIPERrom chatroom I made it super easy for people to get connected without going through the web browser.

Download VIPERchat.zip (3.38 MB)

Unzip to your pc and launch mIRC.exe and it should put you right in the channel after it connects. Then all you need to do is change your nick name by typing "/nick newnick" (without the quotes). This program will also work in WINE for the linux users that aren't familiar with irc.

And there is always the other way of going to chat.efnet.org and logging in and joining #viper

BT feel free to stick this in the OP and I hope this helps people.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I am hoping your upload is done and posted before I have to go to bed, so I can at least let it DL through the night. then slap on my sdcard when im leaving for work. So that way, I can flash it on my way to work, and have the whole day to play around with it!!! crosses fingers...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jaydube:
Great job, BT, on tha 2.5, which I am still running. No apologies needed but flashing is becoming rather addictive, especially your roms. Keep up the great work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rez0469:
I am. Huge fan of the 2.5 rom. I had impact on the phone before, I thougt that rom was fast. The 2.5 is so much faster. I love it! Thanks a ton for all of your hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris378:
BT Any word on when the 2.6 is gonna be posted? I'm really excited to see what genius your gonna release in this one..been checking all day today even while I was at work (Sprint Sales Consultant) VERY excited to see 2.6
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Sorry it's taking so long guys ...but here's some screenshots at least so you know what you're getting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lazydazed:
other than breaking my F5 key :mad: lol... i cant hardly wait and TOTALLY APPRECIATE everything youre doing!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris378:
You have screen shots? So does that mean your working on uploading it : ) looks tight! Can't wait to see what she is pushing speed wise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
NICE BT,

I'm loving the 2.6 theme!!! I see you got some theming from the "Black Gloss" theme... I ran that theme for the longest time..you should look into gettin those "Transitions" from "M@Xlol".... Those thansitions are bad ass!!!

As for the lagfix.apk, are we gonna have to install the apk again, and busybox, like on Viper 2.4? Or are you and your boy gonna bake it in???? My wife has been yelling at me all day cuz she just got back home from Europe, and she's been gone the past week and I cant stay off the computer for 5 minutes cuz im afraid I'll miss something, lol...

I'm gonna have to do some serious making up to her after this release BT>>>!!!!hahahahaha..
[Epic 4G Android Development] blutenchi:
Gotta say I'm looking forward to this. Been waiting a little while before I jumped into froyo, and this looks to be the best out as far as the current ROM's go. As soon as you have your lastest version out I'll be downloading it. Take your time though I'm in no rush, got the next two days off :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullet2300:
Hmmmmz new Froyo build out too... damn. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] tildog:
just wanted to say i have been following your work for since you started and have flashed almost ever version of viper ty verry much for you work i registered jsut to give you props please keep up the good work i have enjoyed showing off my phone to everyone
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
right now you'll have to use the apk which has been fixed and no longer requires the install of busybox ...just fire it up and roll with it lol ...we are working on baking it in though, it's just taking some time because even if we bake it in, it's going to require some adb commands to get it started by linking certain files together.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
where is this new froyo build you speak of? lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullet2300:

[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
When are you going to slow down on updates and just release something stable and gnarly enough to be good for a while.. I've flashed every version thus far and its tiring.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks for the heads up! i'm trying to find it now so i can start working lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
You know you could just pick one you like and then don't flash any more.

get thE PICture?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullet2300:
Np :)

My only guess is that it's from this IRC channel (from the wiki)

IRC channel

IRC: freenode.net

Channel: #Samsung-Epic

I can't confirm cause I don't have IRC installed and the web version isn't loading for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
whats not stable about what op's put out now? i have no issues now but love to flash and wanna show off to the iphony boys at work, and wtf is "gnarly enough"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
that link just takes me to the epic dev page...
[Epic 4G Android Development] hellorenauldo:
BT, are you still uploading 2.6 or do u have a link for it. I just watched the vid in the op and I just stopped everything I was doing to find this rom.

But but is 2.4v2 2.5? or which one is he using in the video? Either way, seeing that rom in action was like a shot of adrenaline.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
hm sorry about that. what i was trying to link to was a topic about dk17 "extended" .. " not custom rom , is sprint stock based on dk17" something like that. thought maybe that was what was being talked about.. idk
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
he's running 2.5 ...but i've discontinued it ...i'm uploading 2.6 right now, and when it's finished, download that and run the lagfix.apk i've provided on page one in the op. follow the directions given there and it will run with the same speed :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
popped into the epic irc and others are saying there's no new build
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullet2300:
Same.. wtf :( Asked in the other thread :P guess we should let it go for now. I didn't mean to muck up BT's thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey BT,

I cant wait anymore tonight, but no worries as im sure 2.6 will be here tomorrow. I gotta get some time in with my wife, so I'll check this thread in the AM to see whats up... Please make sure you post install instructions for your performance boost please... See/talk to ya tomorrow...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Working MobileAP for 2.6? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
It's not functional yet, but i'm working on it ...it's almost ready :)

UPLOAD STATUS:

1 Hour till she hits the market!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Hey is the lag fix still gonna take up all that space like on 2.4? or will be be like 2.5 with lots of free spacies?? 8) patiently awaiting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
unfortunately it's going to take space again.

UPDATE:

2.6 will be up in a couple minutes...

Wait for it...

wait for it....

I GOT MOBILE AP WORKING!!!! Look for the update.zip tomorrow sometime :) :) :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
How much longer for the ROM to be uploaded?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
LMAO...he said "almost"....they say patience is a virtue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey BT, I got away from the wife for a few secs, just checking back for status update... I feel like a 10yr old on christmas eve night, and can't sleep from anticipation and excitement, lol.... BTW, when I asked if what Dameon said was true, I meant that he said, and I quote," lag fixes made to run loops and pasting an ext2 overtop of rfs could possibly harm our phones, over a period of time". He was insinuating that your lagfix/performance boost would in fact do more harm than good over a period of time...

Personally, I don't care what anyone else thinks about your boost in performance apk. I personally really like the fact that your atleast trying, rather than ridiculing others for their attemps to make the Epic the best it can be....

Personally, I trust you! And the fact that you wouldn't post something that could possibly force harm on our phones, or give anyone bad advice or information for fixes to our "unforseen" problems we might encounter... I trust the fact that I put the future, and quality of my phone in your capable hands...

And I won't lose an once of sleep over it. Cuz you the man!

FYI, I ran some tests the other day using quadrant, and linpack. I used Viper ROM-(BThomas22x), and Quantom ROM-(Dameon87). I made sure they were both equally matched, in the amount of apps that were installed. Both had the Chef's baked in performance boosts... Well needless to say big BT, yours won on BOTH tests. And go ahead Dameon87, cuz I know your reading this, and check yourself...... BThomas22x's won by almost 20% in both tests... way to go big BT!!!! I'll check back a lil later...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
wondering if coming from 2.4 if it's needed to reflash to stock before adding 2.6 or just flash on top of 2.4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
i think u can flash over u would just nee to wipe the data, cache, and davlik or something like that... matter of fact i dont even think the data has 2 be done not sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
it could potentionally harm if you're writing over the rfs ...but here's the thing ...my apk REPLACES the current rfs, backing it up, and creating a whole new one ...it's completely different... if i thought it would do more harm then good, i wouldn't have posted it.

But thanks for the support anyways :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
yeah, it's still dk17

Here you guys go!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
ok, i'm outta here guys, gotta hit the sack, gotta be up early for work tomorrow...

Just a heads up, 2.7 will be ready soon with a whole NEW setup ...it'll still have the same theme, but EVERYTHING is changed in it ...i've been working on it lol

Here's what to look for:

Kies - Working

MobileAP - Working

New APK's

it has the puzzle lock option, but i'm not sure if it's working yet, if not i'll be working on it.

TV Out option - Doesn't work yet ...working on it
[Epic 4G Android Development] randyshear:
I was so wanting 2.6, but I'll wait.. Sounds like 2.7 will be amazing!!! Thanks BT! My YouTube video has been getting a lot of hits.. I really need a better quality vid, but the best cam I have is the Epic.. Oh well..
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Hey BT just curious as to why you couldnt bake in the lagfix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
BT, you have come through again with yet another update. I just DL'ed 2.6 to my phone. I will flash on my way to work, then play with it all day, and post back my comments after I get home from work (630p EDT)!!!

Thanks again for a great ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ranger093:
Because the creator of the "Fix" said it does little more than trick out Quadrant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] abe_ahmed09:


Can we flash this right over 2.5 or do we have to wipe all.over again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Lol Ranger i dont think thats why he didnt bake it in, if that was the case he wouldnt use it period. I read a couple pages back that hes working on it still. I believe in the might of the lagfix, one may say it dosent do **** but the collective power of everyone like myself believing does in fact make God rain down speed on our epics. all i know is after lagfix my epic boots up so quick the start up sound cant even finish.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
i did but phone melted so i wouldnt. jk

i did with no issues that i see yet but all my ****s loaded and working fine.

op agrees too, Originally Posted by DAVenom View Post

op's answer: yeah, it's still dk17
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I too noticed this with 2.6 AFTER the lagfix install reboot. I don't know if it's due to that fix or not, but the boot up sound finished on the boot up before that install...

Guys,

If you want a superb video player that supports .mkv video and many other formats, get the VPlayer from the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
Thanks, I'll look into it. BT, I like the subtle 'VIPERrom [ArtifiCIAL]' on the bottom banner of the notification bar! nice touch. I like the steel theme to the ROM too!!!

so far smooth as butter, but would expect nothing less. Thanks again for your hard work!

[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
Does the lag fix on the bottom of the first post work for all ROMS or is there one specific for each ROM??
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I too have no GPS! I have had no issues with any ROM until 2.6. The last VIPERrom I was using was 2.4, and I had an easy time getting a good and accurate lock (1 meter)!!!

I have used Maps and GPS status & toolbox. I used to get a lock with GPS status in 15 seconds, now it gets nothing after more than a few minutes!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:

[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
when ever i try to do that it says file to large cannot copy..... i knew that this was caused cause of the system file its FAT32 and mkv files are only able to be stored in NTFS but the phones doesnt read NTFS
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
How big is your MKV file. My Repo Man mkv is only 398.62 Megs. and it looks awesome. BTW, that is the whole point behind .mkv. It's compressed video to be played on Ipods and the like. I use AVS converter to convert all of my avi/mpeg vidoes to .mkv.

On the 2.4 i purchased "Fox Private Text Message" from the market but now that ive updated to the 2.6 its nowhere to be found in the market..is there anyway i can get that app back on my phone without having to use a different ROM

?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Go to the market, hit menu, then downloads... it'll be there at the bottom because it's been purchased... you'll have to redownload, but you wont be charged.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
it can be used on any 2.1 or 2.2 roms

[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Was it working for you on 2.5 and did you test it outside?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris378:
Just tried that and it still will not find the app anywhere in the market..can you see if your market will find the app? Should i reflash the ROM and see if that works?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spdwiz18:
Just an fyi!!!! I fixed my gps by clearing it out throught the dialer codes. I believe it to be ##gpsclrx# . You will need your msl though. And it will dedlete your nav apps. So you will need to reload them to but I got gps fix in less then 5 sec. Just thought I would throw it out there for you.

Bt thanks again for the great work
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
