Cool! Glad to hear everything is good now. You'll love this rom. And the devs are excellent. Quick, "non-baggering" responses and it's obvious they know what they are doing - and love doing it!!

HAH i dont claim to know what im doing :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] blackdragon79:
I tried this rom over the weekend and i kept getting alot of FC when using the browser when ever i tried to type something it would FC on me. I was using launcher pro wonder is that was the problem. I like to try this rom again just need a heads up if there are any issues with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bampf846:
That was a known issue with 2.8 which is no longer the case with 3.0.1, which is DK28 and not DK17. If you flash over to DK28 and this ROM you will not have that problem anymore. Or you could go to anything not 2.8 and the issue will stop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blackdragon79:
thanks i will be flashing this tomorrow

Bt I have an error when trying to send a audio attachment thru messaging. It gave me this error process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly

Hey BT the viper chat download link is dead can u update it plz. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paiyne:
What did you do to fix the rotation issue? I tried SniperKill's terminal trick but I keep getting a message saying permissions denied. I already did the su script to get root rights. If you could help me out i'd greatly appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bampf846:
I've updated the FAQ with a bunch of new stuff, including as detailed and foolproof of a primer on how to go from completely stock to VIPERrom as I could get (it's at the bottom though for those that don't need it, you don't have to wade through it).

Anyways, here it is: VIPERrom 3.0.1 FAQ

I think the devs would appreciate it if you read through this before posting up a question (don't worry, it's not that long).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
thanks for the faq update and your hard work on it bampf! :thumbs up:

Hey whats up BT anything new you and Viper Team is working on today ???,,,,,PS...... Any themes coming for Viper Rom like something with Dark red and Black maybe that would be sickkkkk
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Also just a heads up there is a issue with the stock locksreen in this rom when i hit lock or power to lock the screen locks then pops back up so its like I have to lock it 2wice
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenny782:
Power issues

Sorry the long post, probably too much info lol :)

So lastnight it stopped charging at 98% and told me it was fully charged.

I unplugged it and plugged it in then charged to 100%.

Today I gave it quite a bit of use but the battery meter was at 55% which was higher than I thought it would be.

I rebooted the phone in case it was stuck, it jumped down to 14%

I used it pretty solid for an hour it was still sitting at 14%.

Then it popped up battery is fully charged unplug charger, and battery is low plug in charger back to back did that 5 or 6 times a few minutes apart.

The UI reset a few times closing my apps and eventually shut off the radio.

I plugged in the charger and it showed 65% battery at 67% now. So seems to be charging normally

Thanks,

Kenny

how many times are you going to ask about the black and red? this is 3rd or 4th in this new thread alone.. you're getting a little pushy

edit: i have a great idea, you wanted to be on team viper but dont know how to do anything, and you want a black and red theme so bad its all you talk about..

2 birds 1 stone, teach yourself how to theme. make the theme. put it out and get feed back on it, maybe you can be a themer

Same exact thing. What I realized when I did it I wasn't in clockwork 2.5.1.0 I was in another version. This may be why but I want to make sure before I try and install clockwork 2.5.1.0 and then go from there...
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
I have 2 questions about this new file system before I install...

1. Is there a way to go back if we decide, for whatever reason, we want to?

2. If the SD card doesn't format, should we refrain from restoring data due to the new file system?

Thanks!

Andy
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
I was in clockwork 2.5.1.0 and after installing the first file and using advanced to reboot into recovery again it was a different version of clockwork. Now after installing everything and using the phone when I boot into clockwork it is back to 2.5.1.0.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xcolt45:
I just redid the entire process and I was in 2.5.1.0 at first and then after the first step.. going into the second step when I rebooted into recovery it was in 2.5.1.2....

My SD card never reformatted though. I still have all my files....

I have so much on my sd card I want it gone anyways hahaha... what exactly do we even need on the sd card?

EDIT

Gingerbread keyboard does not work either

Did both of you do step 6?

If you dont do this step you will see errors like this, I believe. I had a similar problem before I did this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] num1rbffan:
What are the fonts for? I tried to flash it via CWM and it just errors out
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
when i do that step if i dont hold the volume down cam button n powr it takes me to the blue recovery screen with less options
[Epic 4G Android Development] jjjjayd13:
GREAT ROM!

BT thanks much for your time and effort!

It has paid off for all us Viper users. Followed your instructions and have a 'excellent' ROM!

Stay Strong!!!

jjjjayd13, :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Open Astro, go to preferences, and find "Allow Browser Downloads" and check that. Then do the download again and it will work :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Are you sure you're flashing "1. Flash First" first? ...Because that flash specifically has the Clockworkmod Redirector in it to make sure that when you reboot recovery it stays in clockwork... i'd either try flashing 1. again, or re-download, you might have got a bad download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
possibly i downloaded right when it went up so ill try again later today n see how it goes right now im stock with one click root so im setup just have to flash back to dk28 n then give it another go but for now imma catch up on some sleep
[Epic 4G Android Development] somedude0608:
Just a heads up for the install. I was already on an ext4 rom with the .2 clockwork recovery but didn't read anything in the instructions on installing from this point. Compared the sizes of the zips and figured zip 1 and 2 were just the prepare and the ext4 conversion files. So I simply started at 3 and 4 and everything went smooth, installed and booted up perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Olds_96:
i just did 3.0.3 ill eff with 4.0.2 later
[Epic 4G Android Development] 4nic8:
The rom itself seems to be good. Scored higher than previous in quadrant. But lags like crazy for first minute or 2 after turning on, getting some sort of screenshare force close error. When I boot to cwm I canot install anything I get an error at line3 or 12, reguardless of what I tryto install. Afraid to do factory reset or start over since cwm won't flash. Any ideas or should I just odin back o stock and start fresh? Oh, I also stil have all the files on my sd, like it wasn't even formatted? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: There is one thing i can flash with cwm, i can reflash step 2. that goes through but nothing else will. tried reformatting the sd card and nothin. the error i seem to be getting consistently now when trying to flash something is

copying files...

E:Failure at line 12:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

installation aborted

now the first time i downloaded the files i did it at work on my phone, and extracted them to the root of the sd with root explorer, so i thought that might be the problem. so i re downloaded on my desktop and nothing has changed. I can run step two and thats it. the real ***** of it all is my computer doesn't wanna see my phone in download mode. odin won't pick it up =(
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
BT,

Just to let you know that this ROM is fricken awesome but I still have 270 degree rotation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
1. It states in the OP that you wont lose any data off your sd card, I just said that as a safety precaution.

2. If you would have taken the time to read back a couple pages, you would have seen my explination for how to flash stuff. But ill say it one more time...

In order to flash anything after this rom is installed, you MUST (as in have to) flash "1. Flash First" from the ROM download, THEN you can flash your file.

This ROM is set up using ext4 and you had to install from the modified clockwork, so naturally, anything else you want to install has to be done the sake way.

Hope that helps.

Oh, also...

Since you flashed step 2 again, which is the formatter, you will NOT be able to flash anything as you have wiped your internal memory. You will have to odin back to stock dk28, then reflash the ROM. If Odin doesn't want to work for you, try using different ports... if you have to, reboot your comp.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah sorry, im trying to figure it out... I believe I know what it is... we'll see!

Fingers crossed lol

I and some others are getting the same error. When I try to flash any of the zip files from th viper rom store, it says that there's a line '3 error' or something along those lines. How do I fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 4nic8:
Right... well the problem was that step one would not install. either way i got back to stock and re-ran the install steps, still didn't work right... i think i'll stick with 4.0.1 for now and try again later...

Coming from quantum rom 2.7 the install procedure doesn't work, since I was already in the new mod'ed clockwork (orange n black) I skipped step 1, step 2 went ok but 3 n 4 failed saying they were using the old method n aborted. Whick then became a pain in the ass to fix. Re flashing quantum 2.7 didn't work neither did whiping help, got lucky dameon87's update script to the new clockwork made a backup of the viper 4.0.1 I was on so I was able to reflash that.

Basically need an updated method for installing if already on the new recovery :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Apparently, neither of you have read much of the latest responses on this thread..I recommend you do as this has been covered at least 5 times in the last several pages.

BT indicates that you card will not be wiped 99% of the time...he's just trying to make it dummy proof, especially for those who botched something b/c they didn't follow directions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Chaos, read back a couple of pages. BT tells us that we have to use the same clockwork that we used to install the ROM. I flashed a couple of zips to be sure. Try it out, it will work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robertkyle62283:
I tried the 4.0.2a ext4 rom. After the second flash, I couldn't get the rom to flash. I kept getting an error. I followed the instructions exactly. The first flash was fine. I went to reboot recovery. Then flashed the second one. Then I got the error when I tried to flash after that. Please help. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
You're right I didn't read enough. Thanks for the info.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:

[Epic 4G Android Development] robertkyle62283:
4.0.1 Hell
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
When you went into reboot recovery, did you make sure you were on ver. 2.5.1.2? Also, were you using ver. 2.5.1.0 initially?

Yea but I didnt check after the first flash. I'll try again when I get home

Viper Crew...I installed the ROM With zero problems.

I went in to CWM, loaded the custom CWM and installed a few packages, and now my root is lost.

when i loaded up Titanium Backup, it said my phone was not rooted. I simply reload the app and my root was back... just a lil extra info....

question: why does my battery say empty when I plug the charger in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sweepingzero:
There is. Graphical glitch of some sort that doesn't show righ when charger is plugged in. Install battstatt :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Not the case for me, loaded up SetCPU several times, rebooted, tried running Fixed Permissions in Rom Manager with an error.

Maybe I am still rooted, but some apps are acting up...I'll keep digging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sweepingzero:
Man I thought I had problems when I accidently rebooted my recovery and got stuck on samsung logo. I odin'd dk28 and instaled the 4 zips and everything worked perfectly. Are people hving problems coming from the same rom or ext4? My phone was technically stock when I flashed and 0 problems installing. If you can't flash nd keep getting errors id suggest odin and re rooting :) just to get rid of all unknown variables

You can always flash odin back to stock. Though don't quote me but I believe someone is working on a script to restore rfs.

And I'm not sure what you can restore or not. Apps seem to work just fine I wouldn't restore nandroid backups or anything though

I don't know if it has been answered yet but you CANNOT flash this rom or any other zip while in cwm 3 until the update-script has been modified bc the new verson uses different script commands

In addition to my device being unrooted, I am also having problems with GPS not obtaining a lock at all.

When I run GPS test, the compass appears to be working, but nothing else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] juejaimon:
Flash when fine..had some trouble restoring data with CWM .2 where email link doesn't opening any applications anymore and wireless tether can't be activiated for some odd reason. But the oddest thing is that my battery meter has been at 40% from last night till now (8 to 9 hours of standby and 1 hour of use!... something doesn't feel right. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Meetloaf, were you getting GPS lock previously? I am still getting a 3 meter lock inside. Most times everyone says get your intial lock outside, and then subsequent locks inside will work better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Yes, the battery meter is off and giving readings in 20% increments. Try adding battstat or another meter to get an accurate reading for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I think it was working fine (was using the previous version of Viper)...perhaps though it was only using wi-fi location. WHen you say "inside" "outside", you aren't talking about physical locations, right? But referring to inside/outside the Viper ROM?

Thanks for your response.

If for whatever reason I need to re-root my device, is there a right/wrong way to do it?

Results of 4.0.2a

I can say that this rom is MUCH more stable!

Issues I have had:

1. Battery lost 60% power in 4-5 hours. Nothing strenuous enough for that big of a drop.

2. I get FC's when I select Gingerbread keyboard

3. Random FC's referring to a screenshot module.

4. GPS is not locking

So far that is all that I have noticed but I have not put it through any extra tests. It is looking better and better :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sweepingzero:
Ginerbread keyboard is borked. I got the creenshot fc once did it a few times in a row then went away. Has anyone actually tried taking screenshots yet? And my gps is actually lockin beter than it was before somehow. Yay

[Epic 4G Android Development] shdwmyst:
Cool, I will reboot and try it again, I only tried twice and without rebooting in between times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
No actually I was talking about literally outside. I guess some people think having an unobstructed line of sight with the satellites helps on the initial lock. I am having root issues as well right now. Seeing what I can do to solve this without going through the whole process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
BT... Did exactly as instructed... coming from 4.0.1 HELL... AND IT WENT BEUATIFULLY!

Great job on getting this EXT4 working with your already excellent ROMs.

One BIG problem for me though. I use my Exchange Server for all of my contacts, emails and calendar... And I can't find the "email flash" that you mentioned above in the ViperStore anywhere. I also use a couple of other email addresses on POP servers but those aren't as important. I'm guessing that the "email flash" above gets me the capability of adding emails period but thought I'd mention the lack of POP capability as well.

Please get us that "email flash" soon as I'm not sure I can get back out from EXT4 easily and need to get myself on the road to client's offices....

Cheers on more VIPER brilliance!

im also working on an edify ( updater-script / update-binary ) script to make the rom compatible with CWM3 for those of you looking for that. shouldnt be much longer...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Not criticizing BT, is this a reactionary move? Or a precautionary one? What's your gut feeling, is EXT4 really that dangerous, b/c as you can see from that thread, it's debatable?

Also, a few posters mentioned if you take the correct measures in your coding, you can mitigate the negative effects of EXT4 to a large extent? Just curious whether such measures were coded into the latest v of Apocalypse or not.

Thanks for all you do...REALLY REALLY enjoying my Epic with your ROMs on it.

Ciao.

P.S. If we decide to flash back to ODIN18 & up again...what's the best way to avoid having to reinstall every single app again, and resetting all, most of our info? Or is it just as much trouble?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
If you have an ok backup in clockwork you can just restore data in clockwork and get everything back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Even if it was backed up post-EXT4? Or would we need a backup from say our previous flash of Viper ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
I have reflashed to stock before and not restored data and once I visited the Market, my apps all came back. The only thing I had to set up again was my home screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
Im not understanding exzactly whats bieng said in the noobnl post about ext4 damaging your phone..... Is he basically saying that ext4 will damaged your phone indefinitly to where it will be a glorified paperweight? I was looking for confirmation on this before i attempted to install the new 4.2 rom and is this another reason why you (BT) is making a version of this rom with out ext4 in it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
If I understand correctly, it has to do with writing bad sectors to the point where you don't have enough good sectors left, which is partially a result if the limited amount of on-board memory on the Epic.

I'm sure this is a rather elementary take on it, and probably not fully correct, but this is what I get out of it.

Also, there are parties that contest that write protection exists that jurists these concerns.

Now, whether the damage to the sectors its permanent our not, Im not sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Nah its not a reaction... I said from the start that it will take its toll on your phone... eventually decreasing the life of it... but dameons right... it takes years for that to happen... the non ext4 is for people either not comfortable with it or just don't want to
