Ok I installed 2.4 and I can't get a signal..It states airplane mode is on at fist boot but when I deactivate it nothing happens..also all the radio options are greyed out except wifi..I've tried rebooting and reflashing and no go..any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
use the search more , lol just kidding. you didn't flash the modem did you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You need to Odin the modem :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
As I posted in the leaked 2.2 Dj29 thread, I have noticed with this VIPERrom, the CPU is only running @ 800MHz?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I used Quadrant to check the processor info. (it's the only app I know of that can giveme that info) I don't care much for what quadrant and/or linpack or any other benchmark tool may say. I look at the ROM with my own eyes and decide if what I see is good for my liking. Those scores really mean ZILCH to me. Does the ROM run smooth, create FC's or not, run games smoothly, play/record video well. Are the icons badass or lame...this is what I look at to determine if its right for me, not some test results, that mean nothing to my own eyes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pazookie:
I did back with dk05..didnt have this problem with 2.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Reflash dk17 modem than reflash thr ROM and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
ok I know this is very crack headedish if thats even a word but do we know when v2 will be done uploading or should i wait till tommorow? I'm just asking not complaining at all.:o
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I'm looking into it now... thanks for the feedback. (also, that was DJ29, this is DK17 ...maybe it's different?) regardless... i'm still looking into it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
lmao "crackheadedish" ...:p ...it's at 68% now ...it says there's about an hour left.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well if what you see, is the deciding factor in whether or not you like the ROM, look for yourself and read thru the thread, then you tell me , or the chef "BThomas22x" if you like it or not. And it runs between 800 to 1000mhz... the scores are not there to say how fast his ROM is, their there to provide a benchmark for everyone else thats having problems installing as a refference point. If they question on whether or not everything is well with their install, they can run the benchmark, then they will know... But as of right now, everyone that has installed his ROM, just love it, and he's uploading a new ROM as I type with BADASS icons, so go have a look-see thru the thread. The pics are in the OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
just a little extra info ...the frequency it runs doesn't always stay the same, it CONSTANTLY changes. But by my shot, it shows you the max is 1000MHz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
Ok I have a serious question now if I download and flash the newest version, and I wipe everything, and decide not to put the lagfix on this time will I have more space or since I have allready installed the ext 2 and lagfix once allready am i going to need to do it everytime.:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I couldnt figure out how to get them bigger, lol....
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Negatory ...if you wipe everything, it takes everything away, and if you choose not to re-install the lagfix, you don't have to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
lmao, i take the pics via ddms through the SDK, then upload to photobucket... that's how mine come out the size they are lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Just an update... it's telling me there's only 45 mins left till it's up lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
I promise reading this thread is like reading a novel. Lol I see 4.2 v2 coming. Talk about a great thanksgiving weekend. Hope we don't have to wipe then flash if coming from 4.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SladeNoctis:
ehh

Ok for some reason i always have issues with you rom, not with the rom itself but getting the rom to its full potential. Ok so i by accident left reset time in odin is that a bad thing or do can i do. And i always get busybox hunged on the please wait window.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Ahhhh, see, I knew there was a secret to it. Now, if I can just remember my photobucket password, lol... (scratching my head?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol i'm sure you meant 2.4 :p ...but no, if you are coming from 2.4 and going to 2.4v2, you don't need to wipe, just flash :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
wait ...so you checked f. reset ...did it finish and boot up after that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well it sounds to me like you better flash back to stock with Odin. I've heard different things about leaving the "f.reset" checked using Odin. So u'd better go back to DI18, then start over. On page 118 of this thread, I posted some helpful tips about 3/4 the way down the page for people having problems.Follow them steps, and report back once completed, please... I'd like to hear if they helped someone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] SladeNoctis:
Yea it boot it up with your rom and it seem like nothing was wrong. The busybox i always had that issue sometimes it goes through and sometimes it stays on the please wait window(looking for data).
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I remember I did that once by accident, but right when I noticed it was checked, I unplugged it. It was only like that for a few secs, but I doubt that you should be worried. Just start from scratch and try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SladeNoctis:
Thats what i actually did well kind of. I realized i had reset time on so i unplugged it and pulled out the battery. Then i tried again without rest time and it looked normal. I would love to start from scratch but its a drag and i dont have that much free time. i just checked if this rom will work for me and again idky but it doesn't. Ill just restore my last rom and wait for a final version without the hassle of busybox. I like the rom but busybox is a pain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Any ROM you download is going to have busybox in it......
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
90% whoot whoot (starts singing "it's the final countdown" lol)

also, in a little bit, i'm uploading an update.zip that has a lot of cool apps, if you want it cool, if you don't cool... but they'll all be listed so you can see what's in there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SladeNoctis:
I know, I mean using the app to install busybox ontop of the one already with the rom. You have instructions to get the busybox from the market and go through process of installing on the top of the one already, for me in my experience it randomly hangs on the please wait window. So i just do deal with it that way. If there was a way not to deal with that app and just use the lagfix ill be very greatful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You can ...the lagfix installs busybox itself, it's just a hassle to set up...

try setting it up, and if it doesn't work and you get the "null" warning, uninstall the app, and reinstall it and try again. if it still doesn't work after that, just re-flash the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
You might be able to try this: Before you go to install busybox, make sure in menu>settings>app management>development, make sure you have usb debugging checked. Then try installing busybox. Also, if your trying to use ver.1.18 git of busybox, and your having problems, try ver.1.17 instead. It will still work. Also, im not 100% sure of this, but you can also try installing the busybox in "system/bin" instead of "xbin". This might work for you....
[Epic 4G Android Development] eidie:
Love the roms, ran into problems

I loaded the 2.2 rom and it ran like a charm. I reupdated my modem (just in case it mattered) and installed 2.4. I ran the lagfixes and was having weird problems. I reinstalled 2.4 and was still having problems. The biggest seemed to be it was apparently not finding the cell phone signal. When I went into wireless connections Airplane mode, 4G settings, Bluetooth Settings, and Mobile Networks flash highlighted then dim every 1/2 second. It appears to be turning them off and on repetitively and quickly.

I'm looking for my error. The only thing I can think that was questionable is right before doing clear 3 times I noticed files on the SD card that should not have still been on it like Amazon MP3. I went through and deleted ones I knew shouldn't be there since I'd be wiping 3 times anyway. I've reinstalled the modem and I've reinstalled the ROM. Could I have accidentally erased a file on the card that would cause this? Anyone have any recommendations where to start?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
LOL, I wonder how many times tonoight you said,"try re-flashing the ROM"... For everyone here, the ONLY times I have any problems installing ROMS, is if im rushing, and forget a step. So, if your having problems, sit back, take a deep breath, perhaps take a short break, and try again. And take your time. Cuz I know when BThomas22x's V-2.4 came out, I was all kinda rushing to get it installed, it was like I thought he was gonna put it up, then decide to take it down for some reason, lol. So I was rushing like it was goin somewhere, lol... thats just too funny now that I think about it, lol...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
nah, that wouldn't matter ...did you re-install the dk05 modem or the dk17 modem? ...cuz if the dk17 modem isn't flashed when you install this ROM, the data doesn't work and it keeps doing the whole on off thing. Re-Odin the DK17 modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I would start from scratch. flash back to stock with Odin (DI17), then flash

dk17 modem and pit, re-install clockworkmod, back-up sdcard contents, then format sdcard, after you format your sdcard, the only things that should be there is "android", "DCIM", and "LOST.DIR".. then ONLY install the apps you wanted to save, (by drag and drop method) then flash your ROM, let it boot ALL the way (to where your media scanner stops, usually about a minute or two), power down phone, wipe/factory reset data 3 to 4 times, then wipe cache, then factory reset again, wipe dalvik, then re-flash ROM, then go to settings, to app manager, enable install of non market apps, then go to development, and check usb debug, then go to sdcard and install lagfix. then go to market, and search busybox and install. then go to your app drawer, and look for busybox installer and install ver.1.18git in your xbin, then go open up lagfix, install ext2 tools, then hit restore boot animation, then install lagfix. that should put you where you need o be....
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
The wait....... IS OVER! lol :p

Where did everyone go? lol... Oh, they got their fix for the minute, they should be back soon, once that run's out, lol...hahaha
[Epic 4G Android Development] A4b_mercenary:
ok i got everything running but when i start quadrant i get stuck at the start up screen where it says cpu 0/12 and mem 0/1 and so on it just dont start uninstalled and reinstalled and same thing. any help is great thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Yeah, I think he's working on it. It seems to be a bug. FYI, I wouldnt wait up for it, as he's prolly gonna post his fix later today, but I could be wrong... But judging by the way this thread's been goin today, imma have to say, im right... If you want, try downloading linpack and testing that, post your scores..
[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I have been in this thread since the first post. I have read this entire thread too! I have flashed every single update this man has produced. I like them. I like them mostly because they are void of all wasted space. I hate/don't care for 90% of the stock bloatware on most stock ROM's. I sit like the nerd I posted about in my second to last post, waiting for the next update to be posted. I like how smooth BThomas's ROM's are so far. I was up and on the computer til 230am this morning reading the posts to see if he dropped an update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] timmymarsh:
Polite Request

Guys,

Having read the past 20 pages (sighs) may i request that you keep the flaming down and keep this thread on topic.

Please remember that this is a community therefore you should show each other RESPECT even if your opinions differ. This thread is not the place for petty arguments; if you wish to discuss your opinions further, do it outside of the thread.

I will now go back over the previous 20 pages and have a clean up.

Thank you for your attention.

Tim.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kalico17:
any chance of getting the ASOP Lockscreen to work on this rom?? everytime i install I get FCs for apps and just random issues...

:/
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lmao ...you aint seen nothing yet brother ...wait till my next update drops tomorrow ...it's ASTONISHING!!! i've been working on it all night... everyone dissappeared, so i had plenty of time to start working lol ...Sniper... hit me up in a PM
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I really appreciate that :) ...thanks a lot man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
well this will work out perfect for me!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Hey BT, will we be able to install the new release over 2.4 without a wipe? I am having a little trouble putting v2 over it. I will download again to make sure I don't have a bad download. Loving all of your ROMs! Keep doing what you are doing!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Nah, you'll have to wipe and flash as some of the files that were in 2.4 and 2.4v will no longer be there... wipe clean for 2.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] dcowboys2184:
what happened to live wallpapers? I seem not to have it.. ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mecca_TA:
Believe live wallpapers were left out to free up as much space as possible
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I removed them from 2.4 ...they're back in for 2.5 which will be uploading shortly
[Epic 4G Android Development] TalonStrife:
Tether

Any chance you cook in working wired and wireless tether apps? I'm sure we would forgive the space required since this is the reason half of us root in the first place. I switched over from Syndicate rom and I like this one better but I can't get any tethering apps to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Talon,

Wireless tether is already built in. wired tether will have to wait until source is released. They need it in order to compile the feature into the kernel. The only kernel that I know that currently supports wired tether is the Xtreme kernel and I think Hero_Over also has it working in his custom kernel (bakedsnack).
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
+1

Wireless would be nice, but at work I have a desktop on the jobite with no wireless connections available, so wired would be great.

Damn...the answer posted while I was typing...gotta learn to type faster...
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
DAmn BT already coming out with 2.5 beasting it! I was just about to check out the new quantum Rom but i will wait for 2.5. Hey i had one question, does lagfix take up ridiculous amounts of space? Cause i have ALOT of apps and i cant install them all when lagfix is up. When i used LF i increased the default ext to 218 from 200 i was wondering if that had anything to do with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Any chance of getting an all jet back dialer, like the one from v2.4 but w/o the image?....nvmd, posted before flashing v2 and I see it is exactly just that lol thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
I don't think i'm going to flash lagfix as there's always a newer version of this rom coming out and I need to reflash everyting again. Love this Rom though.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Duck:
Got an eta for 2.5? Was gonna do v2 but then I saw you say 2.5...., lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Wired tethering works fine for me. No need for any app with froyo....

Plug your phone in than do this:

Go to settings > Wireless & Network > Tethering > Check the box.

Give it a minute or two when you first turn it on, has to identify the connection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blastboi:
can we do a a cw restore from 2.4 to 2.5?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
2.4 to 2.5 yes, as it is basically the same thing, but with the lagfix built in, using no memory. Also, i've returned the use of live wallpapers. There's also a few extra files to keep it zipping along smoothly. I'm going to take the lagfix down, because it is now no longer needed :)

Also, i'll still work on updates, but i'm gonna probably put out less and just take some time between them to let ya'll get setup lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Is the boot animation from 2.4 included in 2.5 and if not any way of updating to one with it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
yeah, i'll include it in an update.zip for those who want it.

correction... i'll include it now lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
So I have a problem. I had the paid version of Launcher pro. You included the free version in the rom. When I uninstalled it and tried to restore my version it won't let me. Also I used all share, it's gone now :(

Sent 4rm Kw!K S@nD sinking Epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
i dunno about the launcher pro problem but here is the dk17 version of allshare...just flash via clockwork

h**p://www.multiupload.com/KTL1EU17P2
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Wow! I didn't know this. Thanks SemiGamer. Time to remove another needles apk from my phone. Sweet!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
When you purchased launcher pro, they gave you an unlock code... just go to "menu" "preferences" and scroll all the way down to where it says "unlock LauncherPro" and unlock it ...i've also replaced allshare :)

UPLOADING STATUS: Now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sav42:
How would I go about getting ADW.Launcher on here?

Also, any chance getting some things switched to removable, like the Astro file manager (root explorer supercedes this), and some other generic stuff? The lag fix essentially kills 1/4 of the phone's internal storage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Ive included the lagfix in this next update and it does not require that any storage be used... you will still have whatever available as you would before you put the lagfix in, so everyone that's downloading the lagfix.apk, STOP downloading it lol. There is no longer a need for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
If you read up a couple posts he says that lagfix will be pre-installed taking up no memory. Also pretty sure you can remove anything with rootexplorer, try again and make sure you're mounted in R/W mode at the top of the app.

edit: Dang BT, on point beating me too it. 2.5 gonna be out soon?
[Epic 4G Android Development] blastboi:
since i am using app2sd do i have to wipe going to 2.5 is there an update.zip i can flash
[Epic 4G Android Development] sav42:
What I meant that the lagfix takes up swap space, regardless of the location of the apk. You have to set up the ext2fs chunk in order for the lagfix to work, regardless of where the apk is or isn't. Is this somehow different now?

Edit for clarity:

When configuring Viper, you've got to set up the ext2fs chunk. It defaults to something like 195 megs of the internal storage. On a phone that only comes with 1 gig of internal storage, 1/5 of the phone is a huge chunk of space, especially when many/most apps don't default to being installed on SD. (Yes, I know I can use a2sdfroyo but I like the widgets that come with some apps and prefer to avoid FC loops).
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
nah, you don't have to wipe, and i'm gonna make an update.zip for all those that want to not flash. (there were some bugs in 2.4 and 2.4v2 though)

yes, when you boot up after flashing, it is already set up where it needs to be ...if you go to system, then sdcard and phone storage and scroll all the way down, you'll see that you still have about 400 something mb
[Epic 4G Android Development] kalico17:
new unlock screen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
lol not yet... but it's being worked on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sav42:
Well, then. Rock and/or roll!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
awsome, you da man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Much appreciated... LOL! My wife is annoyed that I've been "pimping" my phone rather than getting the lights on the Christmas Tree and my 4 year old and 7 year old are all over me to get up on the roof and blow off the leaves and get lights on the house.....

You've turned me into a ROM bum!:D

sounds like its time to put all 3 of them to work :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Do you have a backup of the pro version? In other words, do you have an apk of the pro version somewhere on your sd card? If so you can use SDX app remover to restore it.

Yes I do, having a hard time finding my email with my code. What is Sdx?
