ok 1st i wanna thank the guys who helped me out last night when i thought my phone was bricked. this is the first chance ive had to thank you. never had a problem so bad i couldnt fix like that before. was up all night getting it back no sleep. lol .

2nd BT and the viper team you are the **** man . i have only run 1 other rom since purchase a few months ago .the other i ran for a couple day before coming across yours. been on it like crack since. lol

my mistake was like a junky i got ahead of my self allowing LP to restore its self from backed up settings . caused a major conflict and fc that would not go away no matter what i did.

word of advice if i can . do not allow this . from now on fresh install of all apps for me. had to odin all the way back to stock and then dk28 and then spent another 2hrs trying to get my pcs to see the phone to install one click.

and yes sir been rockin this rom all day. :D

viper stores installs

hello i installed your new viperrom last nite and it runs pretty good.but the link dont work for the gov kill so i downloaded it from the viperstor app but i cant figure out how to install it from there.and also i wanted my samsung apps and dl from store also try to install them from the astro app and it keeps saying not installed after i click install? anyinfo?? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
if you download a .zip file from the viperstore like the samsung apps then you will have to flash them with clockwork...and the unthrottler is already included in 4.0.2a and b so no need to install it again
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
@Rodderik:

Just curious, so I know whether to stop asking for help or not. Will this next update, re-root my device (seem to have lost it)?

Also, will it possibly fix my GPS problem (not locking in a signal or determining location)?

THanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fr3shY24:
I'm having the SAME exact issue, any fix? I've tried it like 5 times already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gjmath01:
thanks rod... i did read that lastnite about it being built in already..but about the apps when i go to the file and extract it.it come up that it extrcted 0bytes..im i doing something wrong? btw im new to all this 1week old lol and i have used 3 viper apps to get my feel of all. you guys really make it ez to understand thanks alot i wish i knew how to build
[Epic 4G Android Development] gjmath01:
oh and i did do it in clock work but the zip file wasnt in there only zip i had was the viper rom can it be somewhere else ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Chances are it's in the Downloads folder.

You need to be careful. Before you boot into recovery, check the zip Files in astro to see if they contain an .apk file or some directories. If they contain the latter, then you can flash in CWM. And DON'T FORGET to repeat STEP 1 ONLY, before trying to flash zip files...this is for 4.0.2 only right now.

Ciao.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gjmath01:
yes meet it was in the download in clock work.i problem is that i have studied so much of this in the last week that im over think lol..i got it now thanks a mill for you guys help
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
NP, just trying to pay it forward ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
Is superuser showing up in your applications folder. The reason I ask is because I installed superuser from the market a long time ago and had since deleted it. But I noticed when I installed the new rom that the android market automatically downloaded and installed superuser along with a bunch of other programs I had used. I have no problem with apps that require root. I don't know if this is a result of the market automatically installing superuser or if I wouldn't have had problems with out it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Interesting, yes, it is there, it was there after flashing the rom, as it was before flashing the newest rom.

Now, if it was placed there by the Market "restore" function, in lieu of, or after the rom flash, could that have caused a problem?

It shows the 3 apps I've given permission thusfar, AdFree, ROM Manager, & SetCPU (but each of these apps fusses "I was unable to get root access" or something similar).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
root is included in the rom but try to ********* again and see if that fixes it (i'm on crack for even suggesting this...so don't do it)
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
When I was denied root access in the app, I just went to the super user app and allowed it from there
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Sounds good, I was hesitant to try one-click. I don't quite appreciate how the ROM interacts with the EXT4 file system, the recovery and whatnot.

One-Click recovery will also reinstall Clockworks (w/redirector), busybox, and superuser, and that's OK with an existing install of 4.0.2? And I won't have to re-flash or anything afterwords?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ontzilla:
ok problem here... so im tryin to install 4.0.2a and when following in the instructions i get to 6. when flashing the modded clockwork.. it installs but it brings up a clockwork thats blue but it won't allow me to pick to "flash second" it just says rebot device, apply update zip, and 2 other things. any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] agent7ben:
I have a question. When I setup a2sd, its said that my ext was not mounted. How do i mount it to make it work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
So after you went into recovery originally, it was green before flashing anything, right? Then you flashed the #1 zip and it

automatically

brought you back to the samsung stock blue recovery? lt should have just said something about "install from zip/sd card complete" and still been in the green recovery screen.

From there you would have been able to hit the back key once to get you to the main recovery screen, scroll down to "advanced" and the use the camera key to choose "reboot recovery". After selecting that, the phone should reboot - back into the green recovery - but with the ClockworkMod XXX .02.

Is this what you did and it still sent you to the blue recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
hmm you may have a point there...i'm not 100% sure of the mechanics behind clockwork but i think you may have to odin, reroot, and then reflash 4.0.2

did you remove any apps from /system/app/ ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
This is an update (NOT a full rom) you MUST have 4.0.2a working!!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Paiyne:
hey ViperSquad,

I have beautiful widgets installed and I keep getting a pop up that is saying that it needs to connect to the internet to download some kb's to get the forecast animations to work, but everytime that i click yes for it to download, a download screen comes up but nothing is downloaded. I left the download screen up overnight and nothing ever changed. Is this an issue with the app or could it be something with the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
i had that issue too...the files are missing on their end...give me a minute and ill give you the files to put on your sdcard
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Nah, didn't remove anything, but I did have several apps moved to the SD...I don't think those ones restored properly.

Perhaps I'll hold off for now on the One-Click unless I get confirmation otherwise.

If I decide to go back to ground-zero tomorrow morning, I would do all that and then do a "restore data" from a Clockworks backup, no? That would save me from losing everything that's setup?

Odin will take me back to stock dk28 right? (I would probably just follow this and that would get me ready for a flash to 4.0.2b, correct?)

Also, maybe this will fix my GPS lock problem.

P.S. Noticed you retracted the previous suggestion X^) of re-rooting...I forgive you, probably brain-blasted with all those updates just now ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
yeah ive been busy today all day for you guys :)

as far as the gps and odin and all that....most people have reported that using odin to go back to di18 (bone stock no root) download maps and get a lock, then odin to dk28 (bone stock no root), download maps and get a lock, then root (by hand or with 1click), THEN follow the steps to install the new VIPERrom

2 birds + 1 stone = hope it works for you even tho its a pain in the butt

i wouldnt recommend using the link you posted...if you go back a few pages i linked to the non rooted dk28 image...i would use that and re root myself (because ive done it a couple times today)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
here you go BWaddonfiles.zip (4.7 MB)

just drop the data folder from the zip onto your sdcard so you should then have sdcard\data\beautifulwidgets\weatherpack-v4 etc

[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Hey Team Viper, Up to this point I havent had any problems. Did I miss specific instructions to install the update over 4.0.2a? I got an (install aborted line 5 error) in clockwork
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paiyne:
Thanks Broskie! Bout to take that Wall and make another banner!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
to install update zips with the new clockwork here is what i did

1. power down phone

2. boot CWM via 3 finger salute

3. go immediately to advanced>reboot recovery

4. then select the 4.0.2b update zip and flash it

hope that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Thanks for that quick response. I should have known when I three fingered and got old clockwork to go to advanced recovery. Going to try again now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
I just tried opening that add free that came with the 4.0.2b update and it says I don't have root access did I lose my root please help other then that love the update thanks viper team
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
your right advanced>reboot recovery (fixed the typo in my post)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
OK,

So I think this is the post you mentioned: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10336194&postcount=2516

So Odin back to DI18 using this file, then follow the link you posted, then follow the one-click thread

Sheesh, I hope that's not discombobulated...If I Odin to DI18 with that file, will that take everything back to stock, including the modem?

Thanks again a million.

is anybody else having trouble send pics and vids thru text?

even the smallest pics on my phone never send. it just keepins saying "sending..." but never does.:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Just curious, do you have autotask killers running? If you do, disable any killing of the messaging apps and restart your phone. Secondly pics and vids are sent through data. Do you have a data icon (3g, 4g, wifi) while you try to send them?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LAELOW615:
Firstly... Thanks for responding.

I don't have any task killers installed. I tried sending while connected to wifi and it still didn't work. Rebooted my phone several times. Oh yeah and ever time i try to attach an audio file it force closes my messaging app. What gives?
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Truthfully that sounds like a system error. Maybe reinstall the messaging app. Try Handcent, if it works then you know that's it's an apk issue. If not, well sorry but reflash the rom... hopefully this is helpful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LAELOW615:
Thx again..

I figured it out. I actually fixed multiple issues. I flashed back to Di18,locked in gps,sent myself a pic,vid,and audio, then flashed back to the best Rom created.

Doing research helps guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:

Nope and nope. I have stated this before. Once the final version is released and source is available, then will the chefs be able to compile custom kernels with wired tether built into it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lloydcabraham:
Okay. I like this rom, would like to keep Epic over Evo if I can get it right. Will someone please post the exact steps to get my a2sd working properly? I tried to do it by "Start a2sd" followed by Launch a2sd" but it gives me an invalid command prompt. I tried going to /system/bin/a2sd start then /system/bin/a2sd launch but that doesn't work either. I've done it with my card pre partitioned and with no partitions. I've tried with Darktremor a2sd preinstalled and without it preinstalled. I just need someone to please give me the steps using clockwork mod or I guess I'll just have to keep the evo and sell the epic.:mad:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
its a lot to do but looks like you are on the right track...don't forget to download maps from the market and make sure you get a lock after each flash....and it 'should' replace the modem for you

[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
Well it wasn't actually hard just annoying. After I thought about it all day I figured out that I just needed to reflash my phone with the one click root cw perm mod 2.5v and it took it off.

And by the way I went ahead and flashed 4.0.2b just now since I got my old cw back and it is running great. No fc's or anything at all. I think ill stick with this new ext4 stuff for a little while before I go back to hell like I was planning.

Great job once again viperteam!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Spdstr:
I had the same problem also earlier. Phone was rooted. DK28 modem and pit files were installed. Everything was going fine up to flashing #1. Then when I went "advanced" and then "reboot recovery", it took me to stock recovery with not much options. I even e-mailed BThomas22x for some help. But then it occured to me that I still have the DI18 stock rom. I then updated my phone with a DK28 rom and then installed VIPERrom v4.0.2a with no problem.

[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
OK I lost root when I downloaded and flashed the update zip for 4.02b. Had 4.02a installed and it was working well. Apparently I got a bad download because it didn't complete installation and when I rebooted the apps that had root before no longer did. I redownloaded the update and successfully installed it but still didn't have root. I used this link to obtain root again: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808103 . It worked great. Booted back into recovery, went to advanced and reboot recovery and was not able to get into the modded clockwork recovery. Reflashed file one to reinstall the modded clockwork and was then able to get into the modded clockwork but again lost root. So at this point, it appears that if I flash anything through clockwork, I will have to reroot. Not a big deal but it is curious. The phone runs great and everything works so I doubt I will take the steps necessary to go back to stock and start over. This ROM is great and all the work by the mods is greatly appreciated. I just wanted to share my experience so others that are having similar problems no what works for me.
