Lmao ...Sniper ...you need to come on over to Team VIPER, you're helping me out TONS! lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
OK ...so i'm uploading another version of 2.4 right now with different Icons... the other ones looked too "elementary" for me ...so i changed them. Pictures in the OP :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JudasD:
Holy $hit those icons are nice!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well thank you BT. I'm just trying to help a guy out that's created a masterpiece!! ( a.k.a Viper ROM ) IMO... So whats next? Perhaps you working on the 2.2+ lagfix? Did you see the "new" redbend out?? Maybe you could work this into your work??
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Swapping to this from Quantum. Don't understand the whole "Odining new modem" thing.. can't seem to find any walkthrough, so I'll put that on hold. I don't even know what it does. Seems I can't stay on top of things here if I'm not online every second of the day. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Freaken' awesume! 2.4.v-2 is bangin'!! I love the icons!! Quick, someone get me a napkin so I can wipe my chin, lol!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Well at least I now know what to do, am looking forward to flash 2.4v2! Thanks for this ROM! And +1 on those icons, them things is sexy as hell!

Try looking here. This thread has links to Odin. Also BThomas22x in the 1st page the 2nd post down has A LOT of great info and a walkthru that will help you with Odin and SDK set up.. That Might help you out to understand it a little more... Gimme a sec and i'll post another link that can help you.. Oh yeah, the OP. Look there..
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
If you need a walkthrough brother, just ask ...i'm always on here, and i'm always willing to help ANYONE. Even if they don't want my ROM, and they got questions about another ROM, i'll gladly help. If you'd like a walkthrough, check post#2 of my thread (right below the OP) and it'll tell you how to do it. If that doesn't help, just let me know and we'll get it worked out!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
I just made the switch too brother lol...I "odined new modem" though and to be honest its not that difficult if your familiar with it already. Even if your not, it should still be fairly easy and well worth it cause I did not get a signal at all w/o it but this ROM is disgusting! You can PM if you need any help
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well no problem. But dont thank me, BThomas22x is the one who should be thanked. He's the chef, the maker, the MAN!! I'm just trying to help everyone get setup without having any problems. I'm no-one.. This stuff can be confusing at times if your not a computer wiz, lol... Which I am not, by far...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Didn't see that... lookin into it now ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Not sure if it has been reported, or if I'm the only one who used the keyboard, but when I go to text someone by typing their name in the "To" box and then go to arrow down using the physical keyboard to select the name of the recipient it moves my selected box to the message and leaves whatever I had typed in the "To" field.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
I just need to quit skimming & start reading EVERYTHING. I just finished odin-ing the new modem. :rolleyes:

Thank you though man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
lol no doubt bro, but I did thank him too on post#1203, my man is definitely killing it, can't wait to get v2 up on my phone!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Ok, I've tried 2.3 with lag fix and without. I've tried 2.4. And honestly, they all are amazing fast, and I never did notice lag, maybe just lucky.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Duck:
got a couple of quick questions, it might've been posted already but 122 pages is quite a lot to go through, is the lagfix required for the rom? or can i just flash the rom and not do the lag fix?

Also i'm coming from froyo DJ29 ( i believe it was a mammons froyo beta 1.01) and was wondering if i do a back up on clockwork, can i do an advanced restore of my data? or is that not recommended?

Last question is... any time frame of when V2 is gonna be up?

thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I'm flattered BT!! We can deffinatly work something out...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
No, the lagfix is not needed for you to install the ROM. It's always a good idea when switching ROMS to do a Nand backup. But READ the OP, and the second post entirely!! A lot of useful info BThomas22x has posted there. And v-2 should be up (im guessing by past dealings with) in about an hour, but I could be wrong. Perhaps BT will chime in to give you a better eta.

Also, if I were you, I would save your back-up to your pc, flash using odin back to stock (DI18), re-install clockworkmod, then do a clean install. That way you SHOULDNT run into any prob's...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
if you're coming from dj29 and going to v2, you're going to need to odin the modem (see instructions in post #2) and if you make a backup of data and try to restore on this rom, i'm fairly certain you'll run into all kinds of FC issues... i'd recommend just starting over on everything lol (sucks, i know) and it should be up withint an hour or 2 (computer's running slow again)

well then let's work it out, you've been helping people left and right on here and taking a load off my back ...because now that i have this lagfix out, when something happens in there, it sends an error log to my email, and i respond to all those as well lol ...it's hard keeping up, but i love it so i'll never stop :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] hemi dart:
I really hate to ask dumb questions but I can't seem to find the answers. Do I have to do a wipe to flash 2.4 over 2.3 and what is a Nand backup ? Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
yeah, you'll have to wipe because there's new features that would FC all the time if it wasn't wiped and installed correctly, and if you boot into clockwork, go to "backup and restore" and hit "backup" that way if something goes wrong, you can always boot back into clockwork again and hit "restore" this time and it will restore you phone to the EXACT condition it was before you started doing anything to it... its not only essential, but vital :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I know. You thanked him, I seen your post, just so were clear, I wasnt tryin' to say you didnt thank him, in case thats what you were thinking. If im not mistaking, I think you thanked him "in the best way", lol... (if you know what I mean)... ( good lookin' out! )
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Your exactly right, but if you were running a different kernel, the clockworkmod restore wont restore the kernel (in my experiance). But will restore everything else, as BT has stated... With all due respect BT...;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hemi dart:
Thank you very much for the quick answer. So is the clockwork backup the same as the nandroid backup that I've read about?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well to be completely honest, the Epic doesnt need a lagfix. I think a better term for the lagfix would be "performance boost". But BThomas22x calls it that for lack of better terms, I think, lol...

Hey BT, if im posting in your thread too much, just let me know, lol... And I'll back-off.. I'm just trying to help out as much as I can so you can consentrate on your work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
i think there might be some sorta bromance going on with sniper and btom.

haha i kid i kid. anyways just got home, 1st chance to try out the 2.4 so bout to dl now!

all these updates keep me busy reconfiguring my phone after each flash ! lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] plainbrad:
Is there a mac version of Odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
lol yeah ...a couple pages back i believe i referred to it as a "speed boost" but that just sounds stupid, to i'm gonna stick with lagfix, though the epic really doesn't have lag lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Duck:
ok! thanks for the quick replies sniper and BT, will start flashing once V2 is uploaded.. hurry!!! been itching to flash something new onto my phone lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
just saw that v2 is uploading so i'll wait for that. eta?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey BT, in v-2 of 2.4, are you including launcher pro? And I dont quite understand the whole A2sd thing, and the fact that only on some apps, you can install on your sdcard?? But if you were to wipe data/factory reset, all the apps we save to the sdcard, all get erased? And, whats the difference between your a2sd, and the one thats built into froyo??

Im sorry, but 1 more question. Whenever I install a 2.2 OS, what is the file on my sdcard called "android_secure" for? cuz everytime I check it, it's empty???
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
well to be quite honest, my computer still sucks, and the time keeps changing ...it went from an hour to 2 hours, so hopefully it'll change back ...but it's uploading and i'm not going anywhere till its up ...so keep checking in :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Agreed, I like your term better than mine, lol...
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
understandable.. and

you got it , can't wait.
[Epic 4G Android Development] romanmb:
I think you'd get a LOT more people on this thing if you took off the theme. I can deal with the icons and stuff but what kills me is the pulldown notifications... I hate the clear "carrier name" bar in the middle of an all black bar, it just looks like a bug, not a feature.

Otherwise, great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
How long does Odin-ing the modem usually take? I just waited ~30m for it.. I assumed I did something wrong & battery pulled it. Bad idea, an image of a phone & computer with a "disturbed connection" icon pops up.. so now I'm trying again. Just seems like it takes forever..
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks... i'll take that into consideration...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
odin-ing the modem usually takes just about a minute ...30 mins is WAY to long ...and don't worry, even though you got the phone and the computer image it's fine, you didn't fry it ...it's just the phones way of saying "Plug me back in" lol ...anyways, just try switching ports and see if that helps ...odin is like a bad lover, it's only good when you don't want anything, then when you need it, it doesn't do nothing for you...

all i can say is just keep trying, it always takes me 2 or 3 tries to get it to work for me too
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
it shouldnt take but a couple of minutes at most and the phone will reboot itself if it is successful...try a diff usb port...i had to use odin 1.3 instead of 1.6 on my machine and it worked like a charm
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
I like the pulldown. Personal preference I guess.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
i know not what you mean hahaha...Hey quick questions, why don't I have maps installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Keeps getting stuck there. Am I supposed to wipe before doing this? Also, is pulling the battery the only way to restart from Download Mode?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
man i hate my computer lol.... BUT! not to worry :) with all you guy's generous donations, i'm half way to a new computer ...so when payday comes around, it wont cost me but 100 or something like that lol... thanks for everyone's donations, it's greatly appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
i like the theme . what's the point of having one rom instead another rom if all of them are stock plain jane boring and themeless??
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
i didn't include it to increase the space on the phone.. you can download it from the market for free though :)

yeah, pulling the battery is the only way to get it out of download mode if it's not successful, and nah you don't have to wipe before that. Also, keep trying, as well as trying different ports... it'll eventually work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
I'll be quick on the donation when my phone works again. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Ahh alright man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
no doubt, was just making sure that I did not have a corrupt DL or whatever that was missing apps and whatnot lol.....Hey I am following the instruction for the lagfix but when I go and viper it up under the ext2 tools I get "this lagfix failed!" and suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
I dont know if this helps, but someone told me to use pda, not phone. Correct me if wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
h**p://www.multiupload.com/C31CLS0FXL

use pit and modem in v1.3 of odin (modem goes in phone)

BT great rom so far man...if you want put odin 1.3 with the pit and modem files...seems to work better for most ppl instead of 1.6
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Surely ...here's a couple tips for you to get it working...(sorry i don't have it working 100% yet, but i'm working on it lol)

1. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the lagfix. (has worked for many as well as myself)

2. if that doesn't work, reflash the rom WITHOUT wiping, and run the lagfix again.

3. if it still doesn't work after that, repeat step 1 and it should go smoothly from there.

if it still fails from there, just let it fail, and when the popup comes up asking if you wanna send a message to the developer, hit yes, and it sends me a log of everything that happened so i can see exactly what it's doing. I'll be able to help you more from that probably.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
For your info, if you just ask BT, he'll make you a update.zip that could change the notification bar if you do not like it. FYI, the darker the theme, the better your battery life will be...
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
I can't even get it to go into download mode again. :(

edit: Sorry for the panic folks. First time odin-ing. I shoulda known better than to get all white faced just yet.'
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I feel ya!!!:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Pull the battery, wait 30 seconds, then put it back in and hold 1 and power.. let me know if it doesn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Make sure you install busybox prior to installing the lag fix
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Try that along with pulling the sdcard
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
If it says "tar" or "Md5" at the end of the file, use it in "pda". if it has "zip" or "winzip", put it in the phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Everything worked, booting newest version as I type. Donated too, thanks for the live support.. even if it was an easy fix. Dedicated dev bro, you are the definition.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
Apologies if this has been discussed in detail already (Went back 10 pages or so). Does Titanium Backup not play well with the lagfix + a2sd? I'm able to restore a certain amount of apps before my phone restarts itself. Also some apps don't show up in the launcher drawer itself. I'm trying to figure out a way to restore all 35235 apps I have besides one at a time. Thanks again, this rom is a beast.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well I've read thru this whole thread a few times, and titanium Back-up seems to not play/mesh well with the lagfix... you can use astro to back-up your apps too. (as i've just found out).. Personally, I use 'root explorer". It's a pais app..
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You're on drugs.....

lol i'm playin, but seriously 35235??? ...there was another way to do this, someone said it a few posts back but i can't remember the name of the program. Titanium just doesn't like this ROM period because of different system and data. The only way to be able to do it would be go 1 by 1 to see which ones don't work. sorry man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks, appreciate the support ...and i'll be here if you need anything... either that or sniper will lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
my backup pro was the other program

but again, titanium has never let me down, never had any issues with it for any rom including this one. idk what i do thats different than others but no issues here with titanium

but hey i dont have 35235 apps either so who knows lmao
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
lol I don't actually have that many... but definitely too much to fit on the internal memory after the lag fix. I think I'll try sniper kill's suggestion. I didn't know root explorer did backup/restore?! *mind blown* I guess I'll look into astro as well. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Sorry for the multiple posts BT, but can you look into why "spare parts" doesnt work right with your ROM, or anyother ROM? What happens is if you go to "window animations, aand hit "fast", then go under "transition animations, and hit 'fast". Then go to fancy input animations, and check that, then go to fancy rotation animations, and check that too, well after that, if you go to menu>settings>manage apps> then select an app, then try to hit the back button, it'll switch back to the previous screen, but it'll be dim and have a loading window that never goes away.

Also, once you set those options as listed above, quadrant wont work anymore.?.?

Any idea's?

Also, I gotta run out for a bit, so I'll be back in about an hour or so, dont miss me too much guy's, lol.. just messin'...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Reflashing w/o wiping did the trick...BTW the boot ani is redonkulous!!! Where did that come from?
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
I don't see these instructions ANYWHERE. I mean, I see the .apk download & how to install THAT, but it keeps failing.. so I looked onto Part 2 (installing SDK) and don't honestly know where I went wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
LAGFIX!!!

Ok, so i've had multiple testers, and they've confirmed it working, and making their phones faster... so here go the instructions.

1. Download the file "VIPERspeed Lag Fix". It's an APK so you can install it directly on your phone.

2. In order for this lag fix to work, you first need to free up space to do so. To free up the space, you need to back your apps up, wipe 3 times and re-flash the ROM. Once you re-flash the Lagfix has to be the first thing you install. To do this, open ASTRO file manager to get to it on the SDcard. Click on it to install, it will bring a popup saying you need to change your settings to allow non market apps to install. Select that checkbox to allow it to install. Hit back until you're back at your sdcard again and can click on the apk to install it again.

3. After you install the "VIPERspeed Lag Fix" Apk, follow these directions to get everything set up.

a. Scroll down to "Install EXT2 Tools", when finished hit back.

b. Scroll down to "Restore Boot Animation", When finished, hit back.

c. Scroll down to "VIPERspeed 1.0.1" and install that. When finished it will restart automatically and you'll be set up.

it was right above where you were looking...what part is it failing on? is it the null error installing the EXT2 tools? If so give your phone a reboot after you install the apk and it should work
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
I saw those instructions.. I was expecting to be in the command prompt after step 8.

Restarted, worked like a charm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
hmmm... i'll look to see what i can find out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Getting FC on stock messaging and email, only after flashing the 2.2 AOSP lockscreen.. I don't use either app so I don't care. How can I remove the two apps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Getting a lot of FCs actually after flashing the AOSP lockscreen. Wiping and reflashing. I assume I didn't clean up well enough pre-flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
yeah it's not playing well with this ROM... i'm making one to work though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MaxRukov:
My deepest thanks to BT for an amazing job (your style reminds me of that of the old energyroms back in winmo, if anyone remembers) and along with this, my deepest apologies for what I'm about to ask, since between work and other things I haven't been able to keep up with the massive volume of posts, I sincerely hope, yet do not expect for this question to not have come up before: what would be the difference between the 2.4 release and this new 2.4 v2 one that is being uploaded? Should I wait for that one as the definitive one to get? And on that note, from which version on would the lagfix be already baked in?

Again I apologize if this has been touched upon, I mean no disrespect to the forum rules regarding reading back before posting.

Regards

Sent from a brilliant rom designed by a deadly snake.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Ok, let's see if i can hit everything you need lol...

1. The biggest difference between the two is that with v2, the icons are different as well as the default wallpaper, and the dialer tab wallpaper. Also, i've also included some MobileAP files in v2 because i've almost got that complete and when it's done, it'll be nice to just have the update.zip without having too many files to deal with lol.

2. Also, neither of the two have the lagfix baked in. I put it in with the system files before i build it, but after the ROM installs, it doesn't show up in the app drawer, so i'm working on trying to find out why that is as well. For now, the download link is in the OP.

3. I like the way you put your signature lmao.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
i 2nd #3 of btoms previous post , that is pretty clever
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
is it fair to say when the official release of froyo and the source come out and you are able to overclock this kernel that we will see 3500-4000 quads and mid 20's for linpack? I know its a little off subject just curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I 3rd that post as well...This is by far the most Epic full of win thread, that gives back to its members, I have read on any forum in a looong time. It's like a soap opera for nerds! "I played xbox online with my bro, but man I gotta get the scoop on a that updated ROM for my phone! I haven't flashed a new ROM in like 3 hours, I gotta get my fix!!!"

Keep up the good work!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
i think it's pretty safe to say that when it does come out, and some of the kernel devs start on those, things are going to happen and it's going to be magical. I'm sure it'll bring a tear to my eye out of joy lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lmfao! It pretty much is a soap opera for nerds huh? ...i mean i look at myself as a regular person. I was captain (qb) of my football team, but the dumb conversations never kept my attention, so i became the undercover nerd lol... started reading books and experimenting, and now RIGHT after i drop an update, i start working on another update and normally have it out either the same day or the next morning ...people are gonna start hating me soon because they'll flash the ROM and have to flash another in the morning lmao... sorry guys :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Good scores so far. Stable, loving the theme. No FCs after reflashing w/out AOSP lockscreen. Hope to see one soon though. Can't stand using widgetlocker.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Noooo, need to apologize big BT, my phone's been flashed more than a porno director's camers, lol. I'm used to flashing 5 or 6 roms a day, and ever since you hooked up Viper ROM, I havnt flashed someone elses ROM since, so it's safe to say, I'm feenin'!!! Like a crack head tryen to look for those little crumbs he mighta dropped on the floor after he runs outta his fix....LMAO!!!
