[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Team Viper,

When I first decided to root my Epic I was weary of it. Then I thought what the hell I'll give it a go. Not turning back now. The Trinity Rom V 3.0.3 was absolutely amazing. You have outdone yourselves with The Afterlife Series of Roms. I've flashed both and they are great. Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work.

Below I've posted a screen shot of my home screen (I hope that's cool I don't want to turn this thread into a screen shot thread) because I have a question. Is there anyway to change the Lookout Mobile Security Status Bar Icon Red from Green? It's the only thing I don't like about my homescreen.

Thanks

Tom

Ok, I'm running heaven with 3.0.3 pulldown/ ai sounds / adw launcher ex with transitions and I know I have to have the sickest phone for miles now, but 1 irritating issue, it takes like 6 second or more to switch orientation, is there a way to fix this, or do I just have to wait for 4.0.2?

The New Google Backup Thing

What I have come to believe is that the majority of the FCs, resets and/or freezes are due to things that we all do to our phones AFTER installing Team Viper ROMs.

I have come to believe this since many times the issues are fixed with reflashes or removals of programs that seemed to be causing the problem...

That being said, I also believe that in order to do this ROM flashing thing on as regular a basis as many of us do... we need to have pretty full control over what is being installed and when and how it is installed so that 1) we can determine the culprit when we are having FCs or whatever and 2) so that we can avoid the problems...

This new Google automatic backup/restore seems to be a problem for me when it comes to that. It notifies me that it restored 40 some apps (although it DOESN'T restore apps that were installed on the SD... I do that with Titanium).

My concern is obvious I think. I have typically avoided restoring apps AND data if I didn't need to and have had great successes with these awesome ROMs of Viper.

I now am having freezes on black screen that require a battery pull in order to get my phone operational again. This isn't a problem with the ROM. What is a problem is this stupid AUTO restore (which would probably be FINE if we all were just on Stock and it only had to do the restore in the event of a catastrophic data loss). I sort of like it but I THINK it is causing problems with going between ROMs as it appears to restore Apps AND Data beyond my control.

Questions:

Is there somewhere (I've looked online at my Google Account and don't see it) that would allow me to control what is restored when the phone is reflashed?

Can I turn this service OFF in some way so I could try to isolate what is causing these battery pull problems?

Why did this get created by Google to do a backup of apps that were installed but not ACCOUNTS to be restored?

It just seems that this could be a good thing to have but might also cause us all more heart ache than good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
I have the same problems I've always had with stock as well is that it doesn't always play nice with my MB Car Phone system. Sometimes it allows me to dial using my keypad in my car and sometimes it doesn't.

The only other thing that I've noticed with BT since 2.1 (and this has been with ALL 2.2 ROMs) is that, on stock, when you turned on Bluetooth it would then detect paired devices (i.e. my Headset, MB Car System and/or my laptop) and then ask me which one I wanted to connect to. Since 2.2, it sometimes auto connects to my car but othertimes I have to manually go to settings>BT>long press my Paired item and choose connect.... really a pain.

I do have to say that BT support by both Stock and 2.2 ROMs is the ONE real thing that I am VERY disappointed in compared to my previous Windows 6.x phones.

random restarts

can anyone help

i flashed the rom on to the phone and it works fine for a while

but now every few minutes it will vibrate then reboot

even when the phone is locked and im not doing anything with it it will randomly do this

ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I'm removing the 270 degree rotation for the next release... until then you can always go into terminal emulator, and calibrate using the yamahasensorcalib or something like that ...just do a search in this thread, it'll pop up.

Viper team, i see the Viper market is back up... thanks! one quick question if you don't mind: the Undervolt Dalvik 2 Cache Scripts in the mods section says it to be used with the viperrom with the tweaked kernel....is that for us on 4.0.1 right now, or is that something to come in the future? thx for everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
I guess my phone is a one of a kind. I have no problems with orientation at all.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Did you try to put the darker pulldown on it from ViperStore? When I did that, I got the vibration/FCs
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
I don't think it is the Google restore that is doing it either. I have maybe 120 or so apps that google restored. I haven't had the black screens or the force closes. Actually I don't think it restores data, as I have to go back and use mybackup or something to restore the data. I only have a few apps where the data is needed so that is pretty easy. I agree that it is the things that we apply after, but to me the solution would be more in line with installing the apps singularly rather than in batch mode so that we can isolate which actual app is causing the erratic FCs and black screens. I know this will make the process take extremely long, but appears to be the only way. The devs don't know what apps each of us individually has on our devices. So if we flash the rom and go through the basics and have no issues, then add apps and have issues, logic would state a conflict with what we have done to customize to our needs as the culprit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sockaplaya22:
i thought this too but i but the newest viper rom on and used it without putting any additional apps on it or anything and it still was restarting
[Epic 4G Android Development] sockaplaya22:
no i have not put anything additional on my phone since i put viper rom on it
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
My apologies Beej! ...I made the Setup Wizard optional because I thought people would like to have their apps back, but I suppose i'm just going to have to make two versions of roms from this point on... One with setup wizard allowed, and one with it not. But if you would like to change the setup wizard right now, here's how you do it.

1. Hopefully you still have the ROM downloaded on your comp. If not, you'll have to re-download the ROM to your comp.

2. You will have to extract the ROM from the zipped folder, or it wont allow you to save anything. So at this point, go ahead and extract.

3. Next, we're going to edit the build.prop, so click on "system" and at the very bottom is the build.prop. Towards the bottom of the build.prop is the line "ro.setupwizard.mode=OPTIONAL"

4. Change that to "ro.setupwizard.mode=OFF" and it will turn it off.

5. Back out to the screen where you see the folders "data, META-INF, system" blah blah, i'm sure you know. Select all the files that are in there and right click and choose "send to compressed folder".

6. When it's done zipping the files, go ahead and name the file to whatever you want and put it back on your phone. After that, just boot through cwm and you can install the ROM again without setup wizard installing all the apps this time.

Hope that helped :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sockaplaya22:
o and also is there a way to change the unlock screen?

will other roms unlock work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You can use it with this kernel, and you can use it with any other kernel that will be released by us :) ...i had someone try it on another ROM and it didn't work for them, that's why i said for us only, but if other people wanna try it on different ROM's to see if it works, feel free to do so. But anyways, go ahead and flash it, you'll be good to go. It should improve your battery life significantly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
cool! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
they would, but it would change the theme of the phone ...gimme a little bit and i'll have one for you soon ...i'll put it in the ViperStore so it's available right there for you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
Just wiped and reflashed cuz of random shut downs (started after two days) First I reflashed and restored data from 3.o viper version again and started right up with shutdowns so I'm chalking that up as my screw up. So then I reloaded missing apps from titanium (without data) to see if it would be more stable cuz first and second time I restored data from 3.0 version.

Anyway, I just looked this process up cuz without a data restore I had to do it again myself. Terminal, and then su enter and then /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha then enter and lay your phone flat. Sometimes you gotta do it a couple times for it to take.

When you say stock rom are you talking DI18 or DK28?
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
I have an odd problem that has been going on since 3.0.3. Every once in a while when I unlock my phone it will unlock to the trash can for launcher pro (which is what I use) and the only way to get rid of it is to touch the trash can. And every time I do it makes my gallery icon disappear. And all I have to do is drag it back to my main screen again. But its kind of annoying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kava1:
Sorry DI18.

Sorry to ask.. Mobile Ap????

I know your working on it @BT, but has there any more progress on it, like the other guy said last time you said u were about an asshair away?

Any news on this, this is the only thing keeping me from jumping off stock 2.1..

Thanks for your time, you dont have to answer if you dont want.. I know your busy and are probaly working on your rom and all your other stuff, just wondering.

Thanks BT :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] sockaplaya22:

ill keep checking the store =p

and sorry one more thing

i just noticed i dont see an option for live wallpapers ... idk if thats just me being stupid or what ..

A2SD is currently not working ...i'm working on it and should have it soon
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
long press on the screen and you should be able to choose either live wallpapers or wallpapers and live wallpapers would be in there... you don't have those options at all?

Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sockaplaya22:
no ... i just has gallery , wallpaper gallery , and wallpaper options
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
No problem at all BT... In fact... like I said... the setupwizard (SW) is a pretty slick thing in concept...

I think I could like it if I didn't think it was installing stuff I may not want...

You know how you try some apps and maybe decide that they weren't really something that you wanted... but don't bother to remove them... and I guess then the SW backs them up and you end up with them anyway on the next flash...

I have something like 150 apps that I have selected through appbrain but usually just go quickly through them manually and end up only taking the 50 or so that I really want... I just don't bother to go delete the other 100... or have some stupid idea that i will suddenly need them in the future...

The thing about the SW that would slick from Google would be if we could logon to the web on our PC and edit the list that is autoinstalled... or something like that.

Like I said... i may decide to continue with the SW..... I'm so conflicted.

Cheers Buddy!

While most of everyone here is having problems restoring data & or apps using 3rd party I've been backing up my data with clockworkmod & restoring with......clockworkmod, with no force closes or bootloops....Here's what I do......

1 back up with cwm

2 wipe data 3x, wipe cache 1x, dalvik cache 1x

3 flash new rom & boot into it.

4 return to cwm & restore data only from the rom I backed up in step 1.

Hope this helps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
you probably havent installed the zip file yet. go to the viperstore app , wallpapers, download the live wallpapers , then install with cwm

then you should be golden , or at least silver..

[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
after downloading it, go into clockwork and flash it like you would a rom(it will be on your sd card under 'downloads'). then it will become part of your system and run automatically.

BThomas22x....I got the WiFi Tether from the ViperStore. Do I need to download anything else to use it or do I need to tweak settings? I get a FC whenever I click to enable
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah were not sure why that's happening... just go to google on your phone and type "android wifi tether" and when the page pops up, it will more than likely be the first one, click on that then click "downloads" at the top... then pick pre15 or rc1 or rc2... they all work
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Damns...thanks for that quick response...do I uninstall the ViperStore one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
It's not there in Clockwork /downloads. When I go look at it in Root Explorer it is not in zip format. it shows the memo pad rather than the zip icon. Undervolt_Dalvik2cache.htm. If I open it, it says ERROR: You need RapidPro to download more files from your IP address then goes on with <script tpe = text/javascript and so on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Wish i could help you but mine works just fine with the one that was installed with 4.0.1. I don't believe that it is Viper per se that is the problem... As I mentioned in a post earlier the problems are typically caused by things we do to these phones after installing Viper... I not saying that that is your situation but I am saying that I can't replicate the problem as something that is the ROM's fault...
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
it didnt download right then. try downloading it again
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
hmm, I personally don't know what's up with that. maybe there's a problem with it beause it looks like they have pulled it from the Viperstore. when I downloaded it this morning, it came to my phone as a zip, and I flashed it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I was gonna suggest that, but I don't see that file in the store right now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
yea i dont see it there anymore either
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I did what you said. When I click to tether it says "Unable To Tether Please Try Again" over and over
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
maybe they're still working with it. I flashed it and haven't noticed any problems, but not necesarily any improvement either... not sure. how bout you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I Should have progress really soon ...right now i put that on hold cuz of the holiday season, but i'll get back to it soon and i'll keep you updated.

No luck. I see my laptop work when I click to tether but I don't get a popup to connect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
If you're talking about the undervolt script, you wont see any problems, and you wont see improvement until you reboot your phone, and charge to 100%. Then you should be golden :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
This may be on the laptop end. I tried Hotspot (Which I hope to stop paying for) and it connects right away. I am too much of a noob to know if there is a simple adjustment I need to make on the laptop
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
oh ok, sounds great. we were talking about how someone was having problems downloading it, and how it seems to have been pulled from the store. I look forward to the improvement :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah i'm updating a lot of stuff, so it's been pulled from the store, but it'll be put back in shortly ...until then, here's the link to DL it.

In regards to my Wifi Tethering if I didn't make myself clear...I click to tether, it says superuser user permission granted then it says unable to start tethering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Did you download wifi tether from the market or the Viper Store?

I got mine from the Market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
in layman's terms, it improves your battery life, and perhaps performance and speed(?). but exactly how it does that would probably be best answered by BT or someone else :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I downloaded it. I tried the ViperStore one also. I am not computer saavy enough to know if my laptop is restricting access but like 15 Wifi connections in my area are found (password protected of course) Like I said in an earlier post, I do pay for Hotspot still unfortunately and I don't know if somehow that is blocking me from connecting the Wifi tether because Hotspot connects instantly when I turn it on
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
yeah, I had that happen... I deleted the app and redownloaded it, and that fixed it. once you get the app going, you should see android tether as an available network on your computer's network list.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nonentityak:

would it be possible to have the download links uploaded to post 3 since the viperstore is not up? or is it up and running? I wanted to try out the battery mod, but that was nowhere to be found .. sry if i'm missing something or misinformed, I try to keep up

[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I did a little reading on Wikipedia, and undervolting seems to have to do with reducing the voltage going thru the processor, in order to save power(and thus improve battery life). a trade-off of this might be lower processing speeds, but I'm not sure about that. the device doesn't seem to get as hot as before, and the battery life does seem very stellar! web browsing speed seems to be roughly the same I guess... not sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ok yogi, you must have sent me some good kharma! I uninstalled and reinstalled it 5 times and it didnt work. After you answered my post, I tried it again and.....IT WORKS!!! I am using it as I type this post. Thanks brother. I appreciate it. (I downloaded 2.0.5)
