[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
i never use the GPS because I have an actual GPS in the car however, just to try it out since so many people are complaining, I turned it on and BANG it got a lock pointing right over my living room. How much better can it get?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thoristic:
i think i may have bad zip but when i flash 4.0.2a its missing the viperstore,the xda app and gtg touchwiz, is it suppose to be that way?

ive tried about 3 times following the instruction's correctly, and dl the zip from 3 different sources

:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Not much. A lot of people have to go outside =] to get a good lock.

Maybe you have a mutant breed of Epic GPS...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Out of those three, I think viper store is the only one supposed to be there. But it is in the market now along with xda. I am not sure about gtg touchwiz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
LOL, when I use satellite overlay and zoom in I can tell which part of the house I am in. Then conversely, my signal from sprint had me not getting mms messages that were sent to me, go figure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
Must be a freak because I have never had a single problem with any of the viper ROMs from the very first one. Well, except now. My mms won't send pictures :-(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Swampazz:
Anyone else with this issue? texts stay in sending ? reset the phone and they get sent out.... Just wondering
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Mine did the same thing, I was asking if others had the same problem. I went to an area with a stronger signal than my home area and was able to receive one. Then it went out again. I deleted my old messages with the MMSs pending, reflashed b and had someone send me one and it came through. MMS is kinda touchy lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
Anyone having problems with SMS or sending pictures with MMS on 4.0.2b may find this link to the messaging app helpful. May need to uninstall/reinstall the app or change some settings to get it working... The issue does not appear to be with the ROM, it works for me (I didn't have to change any settings or anything either, it just worked)

Any update info?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
I did all that. I can receive pictures, just cant send. I uninstalled and reinstalled hancent, still no go. Un installed handcent and tried using stock messaging, still no go.

Problems Installing

Ok, I have been following the instructions to the "T" but no go. It keeps erroring on number one zip at line 3. I have odin back to DK28 and have a fresh install. i have rooted with one click root. I tried installing CWM3 on it's own then installing just the ROM but no go. I have tried both versions of the "Green CWM" (the 2.*.*) versions and the same issue. I don't know what I am doing wrong that this won't install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnnyboy0204:
This is my first post and sorry if anyone has asked but i've searched and found no answers. whenever i go from 4.0.2a to .2b any app that requires root access can no longer get root access, i've tried reflashing several times and each time i'm getting the same problem. main concern being titanium says my device is not rooted so i can't backup or restore my apps and data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
went back and flashed 402a again and foud the picture mms worked then bumped it back up to B and voila, it works now. All is well with the universe again. That was my only glitch and it was not with the ROM so I stand by my statement that I have never had a problem with any Viper ROMs from the first one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MedicStuder:
I solved it

I don't know what the "Flash First" zip has in it but for some reason i couldn't get it to install so i just went to "Flash Second" and everything installed fine from there. I am reactivating everything now. Seems to be working fine know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
Just root the phone again with one click root. This has happened to several people and that fixed it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Not a prob on the first post dude. A few of us have that issue. Just go back and do a one click root. It has to be the one compatible with dk28 though. You won't lose the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
After you flashed the second file were you in clockwork 2.5.1.0 or 2.5.1.2.? Did you happen to notice what was up top?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MedicStuder:
First attempted in 2.5.1.0 and didn't work so i rebooted CWM and it booted in 2.5.1.2 and attempted again with no luck so thats when i skipped the first zip and went right to the second zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Webinator:
I cant get it to work either and know one is answering
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
You have to be a little bit more specific and maybe someone can assist you. If thats not fast enough for you the search button and the last fifteen or so pages may give you a better idea of options.

BT & ViperTeam,

There is only one solution to all these problems people are having with VIPERrom [Apocalypse] EXT4 DK28 4.0.2a & 4.02b...The most powerful/fastest rom in the world.....The release of VIPERrom [Apocalypse] NON-EXT4 DK28 4.0.2C :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Webinator:
How far back did you go with the roms. Stock 2.1 or stock 2.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Also my gps setting was shut off when I flashed to Apocalypse. Double check to see if maybe it defaulted to off
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
If that was directed to me, 2.1. I also didn't use Odin 1.61 or 1.31. They wouldn't work for me. Somegave me a link to a,third one with different pit and tar and it went smooth like butter
[Epic 4G Android Development] OShocke:
Can't install any Add ons, or themes after installing 4.0.2B it always stops at

Need to get Bubble SMS/MMS Back?

I am new to the Android OS and I must confess This is a very great ROM. The best I have tried so far. However, I was wondering if there was a way to go back to the Bubble SMS/MMS setting. I liked it a lot and would enjoy having it back.

Thanks for any suggestion.

If you are having GPS issues take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10354786&postcount=2663

Basically what you'll need to do is go back to stock then flash your way back to 4.0.2b while getting GPS to lock after each flash
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Yes indeeeeeeed....My GPS is so happy I could puke. Used it 3 times today!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Webinator, there is a app called GPS status, do you have it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MedicStuder:
I was surprised by that app. It is awesome for some reason it has helped my gps.

To me it seems most people are concerned with speed at which gps lock is aquired. Who cares at speed. I care more for accuracy.

why not just update.zip to install it?

It is more complicated with the Ext4 change. As you can see the Viper team intends to make it easier. I can only assume they made it available with this installation method because we are so impatient around here and it was the quickest way to make it available

Yeah i saw some youtube videos on how guys were rooting. And i used the 1clickroot with clockwork. and it worked fine, then i flashed and installed SyndicateRom and it worked fine, then i checked to see if the 4G works and i doesnt it show it trying to connect at all. Then i did a friends Epic, and his 4G worked fine.

I also just got another problem, randomly i started getting Force Close errors after i restet my phone, any fix on that or should i just start again from scratch? My phone was fine 1 minute and the next its doing this. I even try to just do a data restore and its doing the same thing, the only time i dont get these errors is when i reflash the rom with nothing on there. Thanks

peeps i got a weird deal going on, i flashed dk17 modem/rom on my other epic for a day then went back to dk28 and did the odin modem/pit and it passed so i flashed this rom with no issues and restored all my stuff and all works but today i looked at baseband and dk17 was still there so i did odin again and its still there, any ideas? all my data/calls works fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
I had a similar problem once and I realized that if I flashed more than one thing at a time before rebooting, it did crazy things to my phone. I don't know if this is what you have done, but if so, try wiping again (even though the rom does it for you), reflash the rom, and then flash any extras (battery mods, sound mods, etc) one at a time with a reboot between each. This seems to always work for me.

Also, I have found that restoring "data" from one rom to the next always makes my phone spaz. Try just restoring "apps".

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Did you put the modem file in the "phone" section or the "pda" section?. I think the Odin 1.6 has a different set of instructions than the previous version(s). One version said to put it in the "phone" and the other says to put it in the "pda". I guess it just depends on which Odin version you use.

Edit: I also noticed when I did this that putting the modem file in either slot still allowed my phone to work (Calls, data, etc.), but didn't change the baseband version until I put it in the correct slot for the Odin version I was using (1.6).
[Epic 4G Android Development] fa5spoon:
what about if i use odin to take the phone back completely stock, would that fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] woodyth:
can we get 3.0.2? Soon lol Can i help out? LMK
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Do you mean the power on/off sounds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chaostrodamis:
Still waiting for a complete 4.0.2b or an update. Is either anywhere in sight. Viperrom is number one so it sucks to have to run something else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Just wanted to take a moment and thank of the dev's of the ViperRom. I'm currently using 4.0.2b. The performance improvements including an improved battery life are very much appreciated. Who know's maybe Sprint can use it for a a basis for an OTA update for everyone else (minus the rooting part). Keep up the excellent work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Are you on 4.0.2a? Could you not install it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:
Not sure what triggers it, but after random amounts of inactivity, I will try and send a text, and it will be stuck on sending. I won't get a "Message not sent" error, it simply stays stuck on sending. After rebooting the phone, the messages send, although this is a basic function, and I don't want to have to reboot my phone at random intervals just because I want to send a text. Anyone else encountering this? Any known fixes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chaostrodamis:
no I'm actually using midnight Rom. Its ok but I'm a viperrom fan, and because I'm using cwm3 it wont allow me to install 4.0.2a to begin with. didn't really want to Odin my way back up the ladder from scratch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dimevivo:
sorry I mean when you unlock the phone that you hear darth vader
[Epic 4G Android Development] razorseal:
Going to give this a try today. It seems easier now that I read it with a fresh mind, and not a tired one... Lol

I'm also going to try nebula, we'll see which I prefer.

I want something with great battery life, stable and fast. I think those are the most commonly requested things though lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:
Report back on how you feel about Nebula. This rom is aesthetically pleasing but functionally frustrating. And so far help has been nonexistent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Strange Brew:
As much as I love viper rom, I have to admit they do have a tendency to disapear for a few days at a time. I wish at least one dev would check the forum and give a responce to repeated questions. I don't think any viper dev has commented in 3 or 4 days now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
You know, many of them are adults with full time jobs and families and can't sit in front of a computer 24 hours. Some may even want to take their families out for a weekend. Oh the shame...they let the forum down. Here's a thought, maybe they got tired of all the whining and just went off on other ventures. I usually just sit back and read alot of what is written, absorb the good stuff and shake my head at the dumb stuff. Well, I guess I've been pulled out of my shell. If you don't like the way these guys run things after all the work they've put into it then by all means go elsewhere. Of course I can't tell you to go away but I can give you my thoughts. My thought is go away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
just to let you know, many people have had better luck when(in addition to following BT's easy instructions):

1. Formatting their memory card

2. Flashing Viper 4.0.1 first, and then 4.0.2

i didi these things and got it flashed just fine. and the ROM is fast, and has the most mindblowing battery life!
[Epic 4G Android Development] razorseal:
What about the stuff on ur ad card?

Put it all on the computer, then after you format the ad card, put it all back on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
yeah, that's pretty much what you gotta do, back up everything from your card that you will want. then you have to copy the ROMs back onto your card, and whatever photos and music you want. i'm not sure if it's 100% necessary to format, but it is recommended. you can just recopy the ROMs first, and put photos and music back on later, after the flashing process works tho.

And my thought to you would be the same. No need to be a troll dude. I was simply stating that they disapear for a few days at a time and that it would nice to hear an update once in a while. What is wrong with people that always assume someone is complaining? I simply stated a fact.

I'm really looking forward to the Wiki & ticket system getting up and running. Once that is in place, I think the threads will be even more informative and engaging...definitely less re-hash and answering the same question...b/c then we'll be able to tell people to check the wiki, or ticket #.

As for now, I'm happy to give the devs a break by answering any questions I can. Honestly, I don't want to have to flash an updated ROM every couple days. The fact that the majority have a working device with so many upgrades/fixes is impressive.

Just glad I get to sit back, and let my phone be my phone.
