Not sure if this is related and I didn't use your vol fix, but ever since the dk17 roms I've flashed, my ringtones ring thru the ear-piece speaker and NOT the speakerphone speaker. To note, I use a bt headset (jawbone hero), and on a fresh reboot, it might ring correctly for the first phone call I get but then stops working. :( any thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
i encountered this once but i rebooted the phone and it fixed it... but im guessing u probably rebooted a million times with no fix right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] byersbw:
Correct, works once then stops. I've redone the Odin, I've wiped 3 times and reflashed, I've pulled my hair out standing on my left foot and sung I'm a little tea pot... I've disconnected my bt headset and have left it off on the phone and still it's hit or miss after a reboot. It's not worked on any dk17 rom I've used so it's not this rom specific, but the dk05 rom worked ok.

Alright, so I watched video of this, and it looks quite amazing. I have a rooted Epic running stock rom and I have the Clockworkmod recovery installed and rom manager.

I'm new to this stuff, but basically, where do I go to make a backup of my phone? Or maybe even just contacts?

Thanks,

Brandon
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Lmao, Sorry that made me laugh for some reason. Dont worry, they still sell maps in stores ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
you have a google phone, all of your contacts should be backed up to google so when you sign into google again they come back automatically. you can back up your current image with a nandroid back up thru clockwork recovery, to back up your apps and data i personally recommend titanium backup but some use my back up pro, you make your backup then after flashing you restore apps and data. hope this helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
1. Back up user apps with Titanium Backup.

2. Go to contacts > Menu button > import/export > export to SD. After you flash go back to contacts > menu > import/export > import from SD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
actually i have heard of that issue....ill look into it and see if i can find the fix somewhere and port it over for ya...it has to do with the routing...hmm where did i see that
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
the unlock sounds and the battery meters don't mess with the files for the gps fix so that isnt the problem....we are still trying to fix every's gps issues...its hard for me to fix cuz mine is working :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
your contacts should be tied to your google account...so when you log in to google after you flash a new rom your contacts will automatically resync. one way to check it to log into gmail from your pc and see if your contacts are there with phone numbers. for the apps and stuff use the backup of clockwork incase anything goes wrong. then simply follow the directions in the original post to flash the new modem and rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
why go thru that when all you have to do is sign into gmail?? its literally that simple, the phone does the rest for you, and you have to sign in anyway to access the market so its not even out of the way or anything
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
So ur saying my phone just lost the fix out of no where for no reason, or the gps bug decided to show its ugly face to me again :(.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
i am not sure why your gps stopped working again...i was just assuring you the battery mods or the unlock sounds did not modify any files that are gps related

the battery mods replaced 2 xml files that are specifically for the battery draining and the other for charging...other than that its just pictures injected into the framework-res.apk

the unlock sounds just replace the 2 .ogg files that were there
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paiyne:
BT

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with anything or if it's because 2.7 is SUPPOSED to be just a "TEST" rom, but I was wondering if you could tell me why when I apply a theme to 2.7, the MobileAP disappears? The first time I noticed it, I had applied Dreamsforgotten's Froyo Window theme (Sick theme if I do say so myself). But then I went down to 2.6 because of the "heat" issue. I have come back to 2.7 because it is just such a stellar rom (as in everything works for me the way that I'm sure that you intended the "stable" version of it should) and I just applied Mysterymotion's Frozen Emotionless Beast theme to it (Hands down the BEST Epic theme period). Both times, I go to check the MobileAP in settings and it is gone. Any ideas?

Can't wait for 2.8 and all the goodies I'm sure you've baked into it!!!!! As far as I'm concerned, right now you are to Epic Roms what NRGZ28 is to TP2 Roms!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I agree with Rodderik on this one... Those files Incorporated in the mods you installed don't have anything to do with your GPS... Hows the weather where you live? maybe its cloudy in which the satellite signal is disrupted??? It could be a number of things.. What I would do is relax, and wait til tomorrow and try again, you never know, it might work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
for people who have loaded the gps fix and still having problems...has anyone loaded up gps status app and left your phone sitting in a window (or in your vehicle) for atleast 30 minutes? my gps works so i can't test this but i'm curious if it sat there for a while it would download new data from the gps sats. often the gps units we used in the marine corps we had to sit outside on the ground for an hour or two before they would lock good. after that they were good and locked pretty quick (so long as we had the map data and zulu time set right) until they were stored in the vault for a while. granted these gps units were old and didn't use agps or any of the new fan-dangled technology of today's gps units....but when you cant figure something out it doesn't hurt to try the old methods. i'm curious if some one is willing to let their phone sit plugged in outside or in the car for an hour and see if it has a good lock and if it does reboot the phone and see if it locks faster then. then report back to us.

another reason i say this is b/c my uncle is a pilot and he told me sometimes his gps takes an hour or two to lock on good after a long flight so i'm curious if some one could give it a try...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
while looking at the gps issue some more i noticed there is an error in /etc/resolv.conf

for those familiar with linux (or even windows) often when you set a static ip address for the network configuration you also have to set the subnet, gateway, and dns servers. in linux generally the dns servers are set by editing the resolv.conf file. i looked through 3-4 different roms i have on my computer and noticed they were all the same (incorrect).

the resolv.conf that i see currently in these roms contains these 2 lines:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.8.4

i'm not 100% sure that 3g, 4g, and maybe even WiFi use these dns servers but it is still incorrect and should be fixed.

8.8.8.8 is a valid google dns server while 8.8.8.4 is NOT

this is all fine and dandy unless 8.8.8.8 server goes down and the phone tries to resolve a website ip using the 8.8.8.4 server.

the resolv.conf should read:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

like i said it's not a big deal but its still wrong. a couple of ppl on xda have noticed this error but apparently it wasn't being fixed. So here is an optional update.zip people can flash in the mean time and all it changes is the resolv.conf file. this is not required but will be included in the next update for safe measure. i encourage everyone (not just VIPERrom users) to update this file and all the ROM cookers to check it for their next release.

Huh, I will try it tomorrow and report back. Im not having issues with my GPS, but I have figured out how to duplicate the issue people are having. I've been looking into the GPS problem people are having with their GPS, and I "THINK" I might have a more permanate/stable fix for it tomorrow... But im curious as to what your saying might have something to do with it?.?.?. Dunno??? But I will test it out....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
awesome...im curious how you duplicate it and what you're thinkin for a fix

I'll have to talk to you tomorrow about it, but I might need BThomas22x's and your help to incorporate it into his Viper Rom's... but right now, I gotta go to bed.. I'll pm you guy's tomorrow so I can see what you guy's think about it.. Is that straight??

[Epic 4G Android Development] brewdude:
2.6 and data connection?

I've been running 2.6 since came out with DK17 radio. In the last couple days my data connection has dropped a couple times and wouldn't come back without a restart. I've tried toggling data on and off and airplane mode on and off with no dice. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior.

Not many themes support mobile ap in the settings the only one that does is the emotionless beast theme for 2.1 and it has to be on stock rom. The reason his theme supports the original mobile ap that only works on stock is because he has a modified mobile ap on his theme post to flash after his theme.

However just to let you know mobile ap doesnt dissapear off the phone only out of the settings menu. So if you have launcher pro you can make a shortcut to it by holding down on the screen, selecting shortcuts then select activities then select mobile ap settings and vala you got mobile ap shortcut with any theme of your choice.

Yup! This bug was mentioned about 20-40 posts back.... knowing BT he is all over it!

His recommendation at the time was to do the wipe/flash dance. I decided I'd wait it out until 2.8 comes out.

Let us know if you decide to wipe/flash and if that fixes it for you.

I was trying to install the VIPERspeed Lag Fix following the steps in the OP and everything works find until I try and install VIPERspeed v1.0.1. Then it tells me

"VIPERspeed v1.0.1 disabled

You do not have enough free space in /data to use this fix.

Please free up space before using this fix."

Looking in Astro under /mnt/sdcard/data and the only thing that I have in there is "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup" which looks to be about 3kb.

I am new to android and custom ROMs, but I followed all the steps exactly, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Actually it could be just that some of the others are also trying it inside houses. As has been suggested... go outside and try it. I know that inside my house, depending on what room I'm in or what floor I'm on my phone thinks I'm in different cities (I have three small towns around me)! It all depends on what satellites are picking you up from what angle and the phone, as these three guys have pointed out, needs to have somewhat of an unobstructed path between the phone and the satellites....

Also, in order to get a position on your phone, the phone really has to have at least 3 satellites for the triangulation to be effective... but more satellites add to the accuracy... So! If your phone is only able to "see" 2 satellites or even 3 through a window... the accuracy is going to be worse than if it can see the whole sky.

I know that there are some REAL problems with the GPS in some of the phones (I had a bit myself) but we all have to try to give the phones the best chance of getting the lock as well by making sure that it "sees" the satellites.

[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Could you or someone test the Roam Control app on this ROM. On 2.1 roms it works great and connects to data when forcing roaming. On the Quantum froyo 2.2 rom it will not connect to data when forced roaming is turned on. You have to reboot the phone then it connects. Then when you go back to automatic you have to reboot to get data again. I use roaming a lot with all the 3g issues we have in my area.

TIA

I'm probably wrong but I think its a Sprint issue. Not bashing my company but I've had the same issue over the last couple of weeks on rooted but essentially stock 2.1 and Viper, and as of a few minutes ago on Quantum. I even talked to Sprint directly and the rep said that during tower upgrades etc there are going to be temperary issues. I'm about to do switch back to Viper (cant decide 2.6 or try 2.7 again) but I really dont believe it matters on this issue
