BT, honestly man, your ROM is amazing. Yeah, as some others have said, there were issues with switching to 4.0.2, but really, if the directions were followed, the transition was smooth. I've tried the other ROMs and with all due respect to them, none of them have the same combo of performance and overall theme customization, nor do they have the support from the devs. Screw the douchebags who say anything about pulling your ROM, they obviously are morons. I've been using Viperrom since version 2.6 and I'll keep using it for however long I have the epic.

Keep up the good work bro.:cool:

(as for Baldor, grow a pair, like BT said, you're on the internet, it's not like anyone's going to track your pathetic ass down lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] blademonkey:
This viper rom is fine. In fact its more than fine as I have recommended it to 25 other epic users.

As a token of my appreciation to the devs of this mod, the viper rom thread users are collaborating on gathering all of the useful information and presentingit in a wiki. There is tremendous community spirit on XDA and a large part of it is in this thread.

Starting from the laid back but responsive devs down to the volunteering tech enthusiasts. It's inspired me not only to start posting but also to contribute to the overall experience for all users.

We highly appreciate your concerns and assure you that even if there are issues, all of us are willing to work them out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
What competition....this is not a COMPETITION THIS IS A COMMUNITY!!! if someone prefers one rom over the other FINE! but don't hate in other thread or insult developers who are doing this in thier OWN F*CKING TIME and are NOT PAID.this is one of the worst community on XDA and its no suprise....really

The new update

With the release of c will it be easier to move and run app from the sd card. When I would do it with b it would be fine and then when I would restart I would get no service and have to reflash from stock. I have tried to bring this up in the past few days with a couple of posts and have had no luck with responses. To move the apps to my sd card I have been using Titanium and just using the batch option and moving them all at once, and deselecting the ones I want to keep on the internal memory.

Also you should have the live wallpapers included in c and not have to download the support from the store. Just a thought.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
alright i'll throw live wallpaper support back into 4.0.2c

i'm not familiar with the apps on the sd card issue but i would be glad to learn and help you figure out whats going on in a little while. just join the viperchat so we can hash it out.

i'm about to upload to testers shortly so if any of you would like to test 4.0.2c before it's released join the viperchat in about an hour. i need ppl running either version of clockwork. when i have a few testers say it's good-to-go then i will post it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jemarent:
You got your rise out of BT and the Viper Team, now it's time for you to go get the **** out of here. You had no right to come in here and throw out these bull**** statements at the dev team. And the fact that this is your one and only post, leads me to believe you have no credibility at all.

As far as pulling the rom, you're way out of line. Look at the stats and see how popular this rom is. You're really going to consider pulling this rom and forcing the hundred of users that use it away from xda. If BT and the VIPER team leave xda, so will a good portion of their supporters including myself.

Lastly, this is the first time i've ever rooted or loaded an android custom rom and i did it without spending more then twenty minutes researching and flashing the various updates. If i can get this done easily, so can anyone else out there that can use the search feature. If the directions weren't so damn clear, then maybe there would be more reason to complain.

Again, thanks BT and the VIPER team for all that you've done for our Epics

[Epic 4G Android Development] Webinator:
Thanks for the help and quick response
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragicallyhip:
Anyone who has anything but the most appreciative of thanks for BT, Rodderick and the rest of the Viper Team deserves the toe of somebody's boot right in their teeth. Their ROM has no more problems than anyone else's, and frankly, run extraordinarily well. They're (and every other developer) is doing a service to the entire Android community; to impugn their motives is baseless and absurd.

And to Baldor/Fockface/whatever your name is, shut up about having any idea as to Sprint's policies and your familiarity with them. IRC? I'M AN IRC REP, and I can attest there are just as many problems with the official 2.1 software on the Epic (and that of every other phone), if not more! BT is far too professional to stoop down to your level of stupidity, but seriously STFU

And anyway, no one is bringing their phone into Sprint to have something fixed after they rooted it. No one is that stupid. If they are, though, they certainly deserve what they get.

Thank you again, Team Viper, for everything you've done to make Android a much more enjoyable experience.

I almost feel guilty asking after all the BS that these ****heads posted, but I have to ask a question about Busybox:

I'm running 4.0.2b, and while everything I've checked out is working great, I can't figure out how to install Busybox. It gives me an error saying that although the phone is rooted, Busybox cannot be installed because the phone isn't NAND unlocked or it cannot remount; I would assume it is the latter, but does anyone know of a workaround or an alternate version that will work? I tried searching the post but to no avail. Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jemarent:
one alternative would be to use the rom manager to get a stable version of busybox. I can't imagine it's the latest version, but none the less...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
for this rom? No ext 4 will not be required for the new version that will be released today. it will work with ext4 or rfs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragicallyhip:
And to add another point, I've recommended to at least 30 of my customers (the ones who get it and whom I can trust, not the ones whose heads would explode trying to root a phone) that they download this ROM, just because it's so much more sleek than Sprint's bogged-down garbage!

I really hope you guys keep updating!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Tragic. Try to open something else that requires root. I had a similar issue, with busybox saying I had root but not installing and it turned out that I had lost root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
.2c doesn't have that issue... that's fixed.

[Epic 4G Android Development] NetMedic:
I don't see the email app in the viperstore(unless its under a different name). I also have had issues with reinstalling some of he stock samsung apps. Most fail(the ones I really want of course).

I still love the rom but something I that happens to me now, if I use the contacts icon to pen the contacts app directly, I can't use the back button to move back a screen and there is no way off of the contact screen except to press/hold the home key. Again just an observation.

Going to try a different installer for the stock apps and see if that works.

Keep up the great work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:

Just my 2¢... BT, your work is awesome! Just look at all the thank you's you have and dont even pay attention to them hatters, they're not worth your time!...Now my question: What ever happen to the Governor Killer? I no longer see it available for DL on the 1st page but I have it from when it was up on your thread from before. I enjoy your work, but at the moment I am using the Bonzai ROM. Is the Governor Killer only baked into your ROM and no longer compatible w/ other Dk28 ROMS? Will I have an issues by flashing it over Bonzai, using EXT4? And while we're at it, would I have an issue using your App2SD? TIA! You da Man!

[Epic 4G Android Development] ddeganich:
First and foremost, BT thank you for your work and leadership. There are a lot of people who are quietly appreciating being a part of this community. Guess I felt like it should be said.

Don't fall into the traps laid by those focused on drama. If you let them get you all worked up, they have won. We all pay our blessings forward in our own way. The fact that you are helping others in this way, is very cool.

Keep up the good work, and hopefully (for us) you will find this fun and fulfilling for a long time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Search for "viperstore" in the market and download that app... it has all of our flashables, like the governor killer. And feel free to use whatever else is in the viper store... but as for the a2sd,

its not finished yet, but I just threw new scripts together last night and ill have them tested tonight and if they work, feel free to use that too... and thanks for the support man, it means a lot :)

Question: How to install CWM 3.0.0.5? I think I read that we will need a newer CWM to install the NON EXT4 2C update.

And once 2C drops, can those of us who are running 4.0.1 Hell/Heaven install the same way we did Hell/Heaven (put Rom on SD then Flash Rom)?

Thanks to whom ever can answer this.

[Epic 4G Android Development] kenny782:
I wouldn't be suprised if the one post man was the same person b*tching. Obviously seems to be a personal grudge. Maybe his status on the forum needs to be re-evaluated.

But like everyone else here, love all your hard work. Someone find a rom anywhere that doesn't have bugs here and there (including the stock rom).

Fact is from what I've seen BT always gets them fixed up in short order!

Samsung might get an update to fix something in a year or tell you to just live with it.

One complaint though....be careful with the 20 hour days, don't want you to collapse on the delete key LOL :-)

After more than 24 hours straight to get this out to you guys....now it's time I pass out.

ViperROM [Apocalypse] EXT4-RFS Dual DK28 4.0.2c

Compatible with clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 (rfs) & 3.0.0.5 (ext4)

Working wireless tether!

Change Log:

*re-wrote scripts to install with old and new clockwork (no more 4 flashes or modified clockwork steps)

*reduced startup sound volume by 30db (maybe too quiet now) and removed shutdown sound for now

*reverted to stock mms.apk to stop the txt messages for voice mails

*replaced dialer

*added VolHackv3

*added battery pop up killer WIP (based from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793653)

*added dummy TW_Battery_caution.ogg to stop popup sound

*swapped back to 3.0.3 music player for eq support (by request)

*included livewallpaper support and 6 live wallpapers (by request)

*added a few more apps

*most of the features of 4.0.2a and 4.0.2b included (undervolt, dalvik, ungoverner, etc)

Please Read:

1. Why is it 4.0.2c instead of 4.0.3? I decided to keep the general look of the 4.0.2 series and include mostly compatibility and bugfixes that we haven't been able to get to with the holidays.

2. Most of the apps from the viper store are not yet cwm3 compatible. After the rom is released we will start porting over all the 4.0.2 compatible stuff to work with both versions of clockworkmod. If you are running rfs then you should be able to flash stuff from the store still.

3. If you have any problems please odin to stock dk28 and reroot with whichever version of clockworkmod you want to use (cwm 2.5 for rfs or cwm 3.0 for ext4)

4. After you flash there will be a folder on the sdcard called 'VIPERaddons'. In that folder you will find apks to install android-wifi-tether and the Viper Store. These both can be installed via Astro and deleted from your sdcard.

THIS IS A FULL ROM!!! You CAN go straight from another rom or rooted stock dk28 to 4.0.2c (no need for A or B)

FLASH WITH CWM 2.5.1.0 = RFS | FLASH WITH CWM 3.0.0.5 = EXT4 | IT'S YOU'RE CHOICE!

Download: ViperROM [Apocalypse] EXT4-RFS Dual DK28 4.0.2c

INSTALL: 3 finger salute, and flash zip from sdcard. *Read 3. above ^^*

So, b/c I'm a bit OCD about this whole thing.

I'm currently at 4.0.2b, and I'd like to Odin to dk28 and start from there, as well as wipe my SD card, and start fresh.

But, I'd like to save my data (apps, etc.) and restore them when I get 4.0.2c up and running.

So, do I need to make a CWM 2.5 or CWM 3 backup, or does it matter?

And at which point should I format my SD card in CWM?

Thanksh!

Hey Rodderik,

This is my first android phone. But always flash rom on my WM HTCS. How do I get my phone back up and running to upgrade to CWM 3 or finish 4.0.2a now that step 3 the ROM flash failed
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Unfortunately 4.0.2 a&b had a lot of bugs, but we just released 4.0.2c and it's got the bugs fixed ...it's dual as well, so you can run either RFS or EXT4 ...if you want rfs, you need the 2.5.0.1 cwm, and 3.0.0.5 for EXT4... Wireless tether is now working!
[Epic 4G Android Development] GXnext:
When he says "Wireless tethering Works" dose he mean like infrastructure mode is working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You'll have to Odin back to DK28 stock... you can do that with this link here:

Odin3v1.6, DK28 PIT, DK28 Modem.bin if you have problems with odin 1.6 then try 1.3 from http://www.multiupload.com/6SBA8EA6YJ

Then you will need to run the oneclickroot/clockworkmod found here:

One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector! by noobnl

And if you want to run EXT4, then you will have to run this as well:

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
It means that if you download a wireless tether app, it will work now. it will connect to your computer and you can use it as a hotspot. We've included a tether app with 4.0.2c though. It installs to your sdcard ...look for it there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
BT you are the man. I really appreciate all you do. Hopefully sooner rather than later I will be compiling my own ROM. Comparing you ROM to every other one out there yours should be standard on all phones period! Keep up the good work.

Whoa, that was ALOT to intake seeing that 'I actually read' from where I left

off. Kinda like a novel! :) LOL.. I see its a new update, can't wait to flash :) Gotta set up 3.0.0.5 first.

BTW, I was gonna be one SAD lady if BT left me, :(. Glad you changed your mind :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
We've made it optional ...if you want RFS, you can have RFS, and if you want EXT4 you can have EXT4.

If you want RFS, just use the normal Clockworkmod you're used to.

If you want EXT4, use the 3.0.0.5 Clockwork ported by Dameon and it will do the conversion for you.

Everything was fine on here when I left at 2 am... What the hell happened? LOL

Anyway, after the 10+ pages of forum craziness I just read through to get caught up from this morning, I just wanna say that this ROM and it's team of developers are AWESOME!!!! Just chatting with these guys is a pleasure. I couldn't help but want to get involved in any way that I could and be part of this community after spending 5 minutes in Viper chat. I really can't say enough positive things about them or the work they do. The world needs more people like the Viper developers and all the people in this community that want nothing more than to help eachother. Keep on truckin everyone we're all in this together and are fortunate enough to be running the best Epic ROM out there!

Thanks you Viper Team! You guys rock! :D

Can't wait until I get home so I can flash me some 4.0.2c goodness!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zerox20:
Liking this rom SO FAR. Curious what you guys are using for some of the apps to get your homescreen like that. Is it a specific launcher for that big date & time and stuff ?

yeah, the install instructions are in the OP at the bottom... i disabled 4.0.2 a&b because of the bugs, so i replaced the instructions for them with the instructions for 4.0.2c ...look in the OP at the bottom and it should be able to answer whatever you may have questions for.
