[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Seriously BT? Tonight? Man, lol... I just dont know what to do with myself, lol....
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Press Restore Boot Animation in the installer. The option to install v1+ should become available than (as long as you have 400mb free space and abovw 40% battery life)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Before you try to click on "VIPERspeed v1+" you have to click on "restore Boot Animation" and allow it to install it's own playlogos1 file ...it should work then
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol It's uploading :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
Having a few issues after reboot. I installed, ran the lag fix, restored my apps and system data via titanium backup, ran quadrant and scored 1890 and got a 14+ on linpak...then I rebooted...now I am receiving multiple fc from several processes...google services framework, logs provider, gmail, calander, market & opp. I can just hit force close but logsprovider immediatly comes back up (dont have time to do anything else but hit "force close" it comes up so fast) and the others start back as well if I just leave the phone idle...any suggestions?

Thanks for your work on this. Just came over from a Pre and have been impressed by the work you and the other Dev's have been doing with this phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Where is it gonna be posted? In the OP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Yeah, I did this and have a new battery in, so not below 40%... not sure why it won't work... I just finished wiping/reinstalling again. I'm able to do the EXT2 Tools & Restore Boot Animation, but VIPERspeed 1+ still says "Undo VIPERSpeed 1+" and is marked as unavailable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You'll have to re-flash the ROM ...sorry about that ...i'm not sure what causes it, but someone else had to re-flash and they haven't had any issues since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah ...i think people would probably get tired of me if i started a new thread every time i put an update up lol ...there'd be a LOT of threads by me
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
And you're completely wiping and there's no apps being installed before the lagfix right? ...the lagfix has to be the FIRST app you install once you boot up the new ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Correct, on boot up I click "Launcher" to select the default launcher, then immediately go to Astro and file the directions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gharris040604:
hey BT is the drop down shade still black on the rom ur uploading?

Sent from my frozen epic4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
No problem, glitches are bound to happen every now and then, if all it takes is a quick re-flash...small price to pay for running a great rom!

BTW, I have been trying out most of the available roms and I have to say, this one is by far my favorite! Really appreciate the work you put into this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah, It's black
[Epic 4G Android Development] dungngo:
Hi BT, thank you so much for your ROM. It's awesome. I just have a quick question. After installing the lag fix, everything works fine. However, when I started using titanium back up to restore my app, it went 1/2 way and then everything FC (system apk like sms, calendar,...) The whole ROM collapse. I might have install too many apk but before the fix, it works fine though. Do you know why? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
wait till the one i'm uploading now get's done ...it's crazy fast :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Why dont you try all of what the others told you, and before you install the lag fix, install busybox first...
[Epic 4G Android Development] gharris040604:
sending a donation your way shortly, Your roms are the shyt! Only ones I ve ever got gps locks on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I was literally just talking to someone about this... they had the same problem ...i'm starting to think that titanium doesn't really play well with the lagfix, and vice versa ...i'm not sure what it is, but i'm looking into it
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
Battery charging as I type...ready for the next round.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks, i appreciate it.

Thanks for all the Hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
Tried this as well, does not make it work...I'll just wait for the update before worrying too much about it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
When I had the problem I used My Backup Pro instead of TB and it did it.

I think the key thing I did to get it working was, only install the APKs from the backup and not the APKs+Data. I installed just the APKs for most and only apk+data for the apps I actually need the data for (Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Unblock Me, etc).

In other words, to the ppl having the problem, only install the data of the APKs that you actually need, like I exampled above. Most app's dont need the data restored.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Hey guys, i posted some screen shots in the OP for what the new ROM looks like ...if ya'll wanna change something let me know and i'll create an update.zip for it... I just wanna say, the ROM is fast! so i don't care what it looks like right now, i just had to get it fast lol... anyways, yeah, pm me with your ideas and links to the pics if you have them.

Oh, and the ROM will be uploaded in about 40 minutes... so i'm gonna go grab some munchies ...see ya'll then lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] gharris040604:
Man I though I was the only one that didnt sleep lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] tatoniss:
First I just want to say your roms are great. One idea I have theming wise is a way to have the stock TW dialer without the picture. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I never really did like titanium backup, imo. But who am I, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
I think for the Titanium backup issue for those people is that they are restoring system apps! Not a good idea, that is probably why you guys keep getting FC's. try restoring all missing apps instead of all apps and you should be ok. i havent had any problems that way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DiNoise:
Thanks for the ROM bro, can you please change (or have an optional fix) the dialer background image to just black? Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
I like the green android dialer! So is 2.4 gonna have lagfix already incorporated? I was just getting ready to flash 2.3 i read the last 4-5 pages of your thread but didnt realize you were uploading a new rom tonight! so glad it dawned on me! lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I was going to incorporate it, but for some reason when i build, it doesn't stick ...it allows me to build with it in the system files, but when i boot the phone, it doesn't show up in the menu.... so i'm also gonna have the download link on the OP...
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
will it be up soon? or should i just wait till tomorrow, not being pushy just practical lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol no worries ...it'll be done uploading in 8 minutes :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
that i can wait for, i'm fighting off the turkey sleeps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Here you go ...enjoy :)

VIPERrom [DarK SpeeD] DK17 2.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
mic check mic check testing testing, already loving the fact its almost 40mbs smaller! west side!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
I waited up for this as well. Thank you, Sir!!! Feels like Christmas ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
That's right ...Weighing in at only 127MB!! :)

You're most welcome my good man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
Trying to do the LagFix. I follow all the instructions and when I get to "3a. Scroll down to "Install EXT2 Tools", when finished hit back." I hit a roadblock.

I click on Install EXT2 Tools and get "Install EXT2 Tools failed with error: null". Am I missing something or did I do something wrong?

*Never mind*

I was still attached via USB to my computer and the SD Card wasn't mounted.

*Slap Forehead*
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
+1 Same issue Flashed the latest ROM Dark Speed then the lag fix and get the null error on Install EXT2 Tools.

Edit: I went back and looked at previous post and found that I needed to install Busy Box first and that did the trick. I am about to do a few test and see how things are working. Thanks BT.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
lol as long as you get it to work, it's all good man haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
lol do the same as him brother.... unplug your phone from your usb cable and let the sdcard mount :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
how do we install busybox?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
On Linpack I got 13.807 and on Quadrant 1846. Will see how the scores progress.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
search for "busybox" in the market ...it's made by "stericson" or something like that... just download it, and when you look for it in the app drawer, it'll say "busybox installer" ...click on it, at the top, select 1.18, and at the bottom, make sure it says "xbin" (the lagfix installs another version for you, but it only works with the lagfix, so if you send to xbin, then you'll still have busybox available for your system :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Busybox did it for me. My Fellow insomniac lol. Thanks for the rapid response.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Not a problem ...glad you got it working :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Cannot get the lagfix to install on 2.4, my phone is not plugged in and i installed busybox 1.18 to xbin and i still get that error null :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Try re-flashing the ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Should I wipe everything 3 times also or just reflash over everything?
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Just wiped everything and reinstalled, let it do the meda scanning, then went to install the lagfix and it said null, then installed busybox like you said earlier and it still says null :confused: I was able to install the lagfix no problem on 2.3 without needing to install busybox first or anything :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Hmmm... Ok ...i'll look into it to see what i can find out... my bad man

just to be clear, it was the EXT2Tools that said null right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Thanks bro and yeah it says that when i go to install EXT2Tools. I'm downloading the rom and lag fix apk again to see if maybe it was a bad download or something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
yeah, that's not a bad idea... and when you flash the rom, flash it 2 times, because sometimes for some reason it doesn't pick up the root so it won't allow you to do stuff... give it a try and post results
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
The screen shots of dark speed arent showing. Just so ya know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Well I redownloaded everything and wiped everything 3 times, installed the rom only once then rebooted, waiting for the media scanner to finish, then installed the lagfix and tried to install ext2 tools and it gave me the same null error. Then installed busybox with 1.18 and to xbin, went back to the lagfix and it still gave me the null error. So i was messing around and went into applications and uninstalled the busybox installer and the lagfix installer. Then i REINSTALLED the lagfix installer and this time it let me proceed as normal and now I have the lag fix installed and working fine :)

Hope this helps some people out who were having the same problem as me :D

And thanks for the awesome rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Awesome! Thanks a lot for the input!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah, Photobucket said i reached my bandwidth so they disabled this links... but it's cool ...i'm working on an update that will be out tomorrow morning and i'll take new screenshots ...it's the same as 2.4, but i changed the dialpad, wallpaper, and most of the icons... i'll post the screenshots tomorrow
[Epic 4G Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Very Nice ROM!

Thanks much for this ROM. Especially the gps module, it works well.

jjjjayd13;:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjdhill:
quick help pls

hey man love your work. i try not to ask to before doing research. but i feel a little confused on this one. correct me if im wrong .

ok so with the 2.4 the L-F is built in right. if so what do i need to do to set it ive installed the rom and i dont see it in the setting anywhere unless i still have sleep in my eyes.

so far all ive done is install the rom /and busybox have yet to restore apps incase i mess something.

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
Works great! I can't quite get the quandrant scores you have for whatever reason, but close. About 100 less, give or take. I did notice my scores were much lower when 4G was connected!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjdhill:
ok went back to prev rom and try to redo lagfix . now getting error ( parsing problem ) looking at summary there is no file size. in details everything say null.

this is what i have done .

2.3 wipe 5x delv/data/ cache

installed 2.4 flashed over 3x over

lagfix parsing problem.

complete wipe / restore

repeat same issue. am i doing something wrong or is my epic just not liking it

had no problem prev to installing 2.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mike_77:
This ROM works great! It's the first Froyo ROM I've had where GPS has worked at even a functional level, and yes, I've tried the "Froyo GPS fix" etc, but this one works great without doing anything but wiping, wiping Davlik, and flashing. Also had the problem with the null error, but I just uninstalled the lagfix.apk and reinstalled, and then it worked with no issues. Great job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] grimduk:
On the stock launcher ( the vanilla) the phon botton on the bottom says it is not installed. How do I get it to work on a stock dialer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:
I just upgraded from your dk07 to your first rendition of DK17 by flashing modem with odin, wipe 3x and flashes the rom. :-)

The only thing I am dealing with is getting my apps restored onto my sd. The a2sdfroyo app included in this rom was set to 'External', but did not restore my apps to sd. Instead the titanium restore kept hanging partial way...

After installing the 4* rating moveapp2sd app from market and rebooting several times, I finally restored all my 270 user app+data after running a titanium batch restore job several times; because it kept hanging. Then I used the moveapp2sd to move them.

I can no longer free up more than 168mb on my internal app memory space. However, when I was using the baked-snack rom w/app2sd option----I had 258mb free internally.... :-0

Any advice fellow droids?
[Epic 4G Android Development] d94:
this worked perfect thx!

first quadrant run = 1811!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Please stop using quadrant for comparisons. It is probably the most broken benchmark out there, and can easily be fooled. Not trying to be an ass but using a broken benchmark for comparisons doesn't prove anything in terms of speed. I could probably get my quadrant scores to 2200+ but the system wouldn't be any faster. Not saying anything against your lagfix thomas, as I haven't looked at it yet. But everyone using a broken benchmark like quadrant is quite annoying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Question....

I noticed that when something is ongoing the text are black and you can't read anything. Is the fix in 2.4?

Also if I want to upgrade im gussing i should wipe again before installing huh? LoL.

Btw thats the only problem I've seen :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Totally agree!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Here they come....the naysayers....

Guys (Dameon and Flyers): We ALL know your disagreement with Quadrant. It was well documented when you expressed yourself earlier in this thread... in not so nice ways. All it did was cause a bunch of crap.

First of all.... If I recall... BT requested assistance from YOU... Dameon... in assessing whether or not this "LagFix" was legit or not (post 644)... You AGREED TO LOOK AT IT (post 647). BUT! From your latest bomb of a post I am guessing that you ignored him just so you could then come in here and be a jerk.

I have an idea... Dameon, how about you look at his lag fix... AS HE ORIGINALLY INVITED YOU TO DO... and YOU AGREED TO DO, and let him know what you think instead of lying in wait to ambush him.

Look. I am a 48 year old quite successful businessman that doesn't enjoy reading reposted stupid questions from those that can't read or use search... but I'm also not into this sort of childish crap from you and Flyers.

Here's another idea... if you determine that the lag fix is legit... put it on YOUR phones... use it with YOUR ROMs... and then brag about the fact that it also gets super Quadrants on your phones and then we're all one big happy family enjoying each other's work (well... I'm just enjoying all of Y'ALL's work.... I don't know how to do squat!)

Here is ONE benefit of having the lagfix, EVEN if it isn't real: It's in the face of the EVO folks and everyone else on that bar graph which goes to pointing out that the EPIC is THE phone to have.

Anyway. I'd like to see this whole argument nipped in the bud somehow so I don't have to wade through 20-40 posts of arguing like we did earlier in this thread.

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cbwhat:
when i install this rom and reboot. i get stuck in airplane mode and it keeps switching on and off repeatedly. i yes i wiped 3 times and wiped the partition.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Well said. Both devs are awesome and it would be great if they could do something together. Imagine the possibilities.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i would also love it if Dameon87, get over it, not discourage BT, and edit is post (from few post back), just so we dont start another fight, and focus on developing.

thank you, to 2 great developers
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fidelio_o:
Quick question are live wallpapers not supported in this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
I'm just now installing 2.4 but can say that 2.3 and the rest of them supported live wall papers... can't answer for 2.4 yet though....

What makes you think it doesn't?

OHHHHHH.... I now see since I've installed.... Guess that helps with making this ROM smaller! and leaner!

BT... Good idea... I do however like to show off the live wallpapers in showing off the phone... but typically have a static wall paper due to the battery drain.... I'm torn....
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
All is great except for no gps. I apologize because this problem has been posted in the past
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fidelio_o:
Cant find them anywhere in 2.4 lol, no settings for them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] d94:
i concur where the deuce are they!~
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Yeah... I edited my previous post now that I see they aren't here.

For the most part I never use live wallpaper as it is a battery drain. Only use it for novelty now and then.... The new Snowman Live wallpaper was sort of cool but since it is very "white" and live it would likely kill battery FAST! so isn't practical.

Disclaimer: I'm not posting this to antagonize Dameon.

Installed 2.4. Did immediate quadrant (no LF). Got 1068.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
For your hard work. And your willingness to respond to all questions be it stupid or not. You have made this Rom clean and easy on the eyes enough for a kid in high school showing off his phone, or someone in a business meeting showing the professional looking modifications that can be done to it.

This is for you. It isn't much but once more comes, more will be given. Thanks again!

[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
How about instead of criticizing who is in my opinion the hardest working, most dedicated to helping dev we have in the community you work with him together to make our phones better. He DID specifically ask for your thoughts on the lag fix...and you were ghost . Didn't even respond.if your going to even look at his thread, do it with intention of helping and not trolling.i appreciate your work but your lack of wanting to help a fellow dev and instead knocking him for his hard work rather than working with him to make what you'd consider a quality lag fix is just disrespectful and a lil selfish in my eyes ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] petsik:
Great work just one thing

Everything is great on this rom and all your work. The only thing that I am trying to figure out is why the live wallpapers are not working from the market. They worked in 2.3 but not in 2.4. Says that this phone is not supported
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
be sure you flash the modem with odin and then flash the rom...a few ppl in this thread have had the problem and it fixed it for them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] taminrob:
Getting fc when trying to enable GPS (The application Settings (process com.android.settings) while running 2.4...everything else runs well...a keeper when this is resolved!

Thanks BT, hope you finally got some sleep!

Don't let the other "Dev's" get you down, all forms of testing aside, Quadrant or Linpack, this rom does seem more responsive and quicker in general than the others that I have tried. Keep up the excellent work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ipaq3115:
Dude I can't keep up... way to many posts! Awesome though, DLing 2.4 now.

I think your ROM is wayyy too popular, screenshots say bandwidth exceeded :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Got confused, the lagfix is already integrated into 2.4 or download it from Op and do instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
The Rom makes the phone believe there is no root. I'm not sure because I can still boot into recovery. Titanium backup pro works no longer for root privelages as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
I'm confused as well. I can't install EXT2 Tools from the lagfix apk. Quadrant scores are hovering around 1000. Seems like no lagfix is incorporated. What gives? Running 2.4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Lagfix isn't included in the ROM because it wouldn't stick when flashing.

DL the lagfix and install it as instructed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Wipe everything completely, reflash the ROM, boot up, go back to clockwork again, wipe everything again, flash the ROM again, than boot up.

Should have root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Its not incorporated. Gotta install it manually. Since ext2 tools isn't working, go to settings > applications > manage apps, uninstall the lagfix APK, reinstall it than try to install ext2 tools again. If it fails again, install BusyBox from the marker, than repeat the uninstall/ reinstall the APK step. and if THAT doesn't work, try reflashing the ROM and try it again.

By the way, what error is it giving you?

P.S. Sorry for triple posting. Cant multiquote from my phone and just trying to answer the questions so its less work for Thomas.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
It just says error:/null :confused:

After it failed I went to market and downloaded the busybox installer and tried that. Still same error.

Reflashing rom again and will report back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Had a similar problem but got past it after a reboot.
