Apps disappear after reboot

Thanks for the response to the post.

I tried the reinstall and it did not fix the problem, any other suggestions besides flashing stock D28 with odin? (I have no problem using odin just wanted to try to figure out the cause of the problem.)

I just flashed to 4.0.2c EXT4 and I can't get buddies now to pull up. The battery life seems to have gotten worst out of the box.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
i don't think Buddies is included in the ROM, but it should be available in the app section of the Viper Store. and battery life should be good, but it can fluctuate... try charging to 100% and see how it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannieboiz:
I did install Buddies Now but it's no where to be found.

I am I using the clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 and on a totally different ROM. I want to try the Viperrom and go to clockwork 3.0.0.5 (so I can use ext4). I have a few questions (which probably been answered somewhere but figured I would ask anyway)

1.	If I go the 3.0.0.5 will it wipe everything on my SD card? Of course I will back up everything on my laptop but just wondering if it completely formats the SD card.

2.	If I backup threw clockwork 2.5.1.0 can I do an “advance restore” to get my applications back or do I have to manually reinstall them?

I am just trying to figure out if it is worth trying out the rom or I should I just stay with what I have. I am using Epic Experience 2.0.0.7 and it is running very well but I am intrigued by the ext4.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannieboiz:
I'm not sure what's the deal but it seems every viper rom I flash my phone doesn't ring on incoming call. It works and then it doesn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I backed up my sd card, but then didn't seem to lose anything from the conversion to clockwork 3.0.0.5. as for the backups, maybe someone else can answer that.... I always just use Mybackup Pro, and reinstall my apps and data that way, so I never worry about formats and such :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] num1rbffan:
I had the same problem when i recovered a backup with backup pro and restarted it would uninstall all of my appications untill i either installed the .apk or reinstalled through the market place. Once i did that everything was fine. I just thought it was something to do with Mybackup pro and/or root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] netengineer:
.... after that should we do a restore of our data to get our apps ect. back?

I was wondering the same thing. Can someone from Team Viper comment about this??

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Negative... we will continue support for rfs because not everyone wants ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] Topgamer:
thomas do you have any input in the Data Bug? i seen i have a problem and another person as well and more that probably have not noticed it yet. But when using Wifi tether with the new rom the Data download/upload rates are horrible. I get between 10kb and 25kbs download and the same upload. before with 4.01 (which i have reflashed :( ) i averaged 200+kbs. with the new rom tethering is worthless if your trying to download anything :( i have posted it on here 2 times no comments at all :( any help would be GREATLY appreciated! and thank you for the new rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaekebbler:

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Try going into Settings, and change the channel ...it's probably on channel 01, so switch to channel 02, 03, etc. etc. You can also go down to "Change LAN" and change that as well. Anything is worth a try.

Also, my apologies for not commenting sooner, but we got another site to manage now, and we have to continue with the ROM Developing, so we're kinda busy, but we didn't forget about ya!

well before i used rfs on the new rom, i just flashed cwm 3.0 or whatever and tried using the internet that way still same problem tried 5 differnt lan channels... seems like the kbs is maxed out at 15kbs download... if it goes over 15 it quickly drops back down to 15. like a governer? anyway just giving u more input thx

Flash this if you're running EXT4 - Data Flash

Flash this if you're running RFS - Data Flash

Hope that helps.

When i go into applications and click running services, the phone does a kind of mini-restart. It shows the animation screen, then it's back up and the media scanner is running as if it just restarted the phone. What do i do here? Thanks!

What we need

I think what we really need is some sort of compile list on the front page of the viper rom of all the .zips that work with CWM3. Cause I keep on getting that stupid error message that the rfs .zip isn't working when i think i am flashing an edify zip. Anyone else agree?:confused:

[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Reading through the most recent ~250 posts and ran across yours regarding Set CPU and thought I'd chime in on an issue with Set CPU that I've had. I've been using SetCPU since getting the EPIC on day one.... and have found that I like it... HOWEVER....

This morning... I was killing time playing Angry Birds... and it started to get really laggy and the screen was very jumpy.... I KNEW IT WASN'T the ROM... (I just want to state that right off)... and decided to mess with some things...

I had SetCPU set to the 200/1000 settings. I changed it 1000/1000 and went back to AB... No lag... no jumpy screen.

I switched it back to 200/1000 and voila! Lag and jumpy...

So. While SetCPU may be a good concept for battery saving... it certainly may have a negative impact on app performance... or so I believe... you mileage may vary (and I am willing to be told I'm wrong by others that are smarter than me like BT and Rodderick).

Cheers!

Brilliant ROM Viper Team!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
yes, I think your reasoning is valid.

I had similar problem with lag on screen toggle, but I think it was due to me having the ' screen off' profile at 100-200.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
Hey guys.. Just word of advice from experience. Running SETCPU on this current version of the ROM will only hurt battery life. And I dont care what settings you have. The ROM already has a SETCPU script baked in. Uninstall SETCPU for a day and chime back in. You will be surprised.

Taking your advice now.... especially given my frustration with the 200/1000 setting anyway... I'll report back tomorrow evening....

K I'm a total noob when it comes to phone mods. This is the first one I have ever done and haven't had many issues it's pretty straight forward. I flashed apocalypse 4.0.2c onto my phone. Didn't use the sdk tools and do the lag fix yet haven't had time.

However; it states in the features that wireless tethering works. This wasn't the case for me it also states that a volume hack is included which is not on mine, and I don't have live wallpaper support.

I'm sure this is user error on my end since I have never done this before but I tried to do all the research I could before bothering anyone with a question. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

all of that is indeed baked in....the wireless tether you have to install the apk from the viperaddons folder on the sdcard....it sounds like you might have gotten a corrupt download....try to download the rom and install it again and see if that fixes your problems. and there is no need to do any lagfixes or anything.

this might fix your problem and anyone else having problems with apps they have downloaded and installed and they are not seen in the app drawer. I have had this problem as well and i thought it might have been a fluke but i stocked back to dk28 and flashed 4.0c and it still did it. What you have to do is go into preferences and click general settings, there is a tab at the top that says hide apps. click on that and locate your installed app, once you find it check the box, then uncheck it and hit save. launcher will say restart and click yes, once you do that your installed app will be in your app drawer.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mohwak:
Just something I noticed.

Just wanted to inform you guys that I had something a little weird happen.

So, I am running 4.02c and when my battery was dying the phone started shutting down...then it rebooted and got stuck in this loop. I pulled the battery and charged for a while. When it came back there where a lot of app FCing ( FB, Out of Milk, and Launcherpro to name a few) other apps were like i just installed them for the first time. I was able to make a back up of my contacts and stuff so no big deal. I then reloaded the ROM and everything is back to normal.

No big deal here guys just wanted you to know...and if you see me post a couple of stupid post its because I have to get my 10 post before the deadline. ;)

Keep up the good work Viper Team this is the only ROM I run. I appreciate the hard work you all are doing. I only wish this phone had as many devs the TP2 forum did. I Love seeing what people come up with.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
You don't have to reload. Tio install the wireless tether apps just navigate to the Viper addons folder and install the wireless_tether_2.0.6
