Yes it is being addressed... keep an eye out this weekend... we've completely redone the ROM and can assure you there's no other like it... for a little more info, check out post #2 ...the part you'll want to look at is the ViperMini.apk.... Team Viper is taking a whole new step into something uncharted.... so were going to need beta testers... if you're interested in testing, check the op for the link to our chat and meet us there.

Thank you all for the support!

And don't forget to vote for team viper in general!

[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
That's what I tried first. Meetloaf mentioned in an earlier thread that I should Odin to dk28, then re-flash 4.0.3. I may do that, but I'm not really in any great need of the tweak for now. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
GPS is defintely borked on HELL for sure.... after MSL reset, it did work but spotty.... i m getting gps lock but not like before ie 9m accuracy... takes forever to lock >1 min and somehow... right in the middle of the drive the gps signal was lost ( cpl of times) and sometimes i did notice that its not showing me in the right place neither its following me smoothly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
Alright that was a really lazy post. I went back, odined to dk28, rooted to cwm3, flased no journal zip, flashed fresh 4.0.3, did advanced restore- data only. Checked data in rooted explorer and still no tweaks folder. Any other ideas on this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
That's really awkward that it's not there... But in any case, here's a update.zip to flash the tweak file. If you still have problems after that let me know and we'll see what we can do.

ViperROM users check us out on Twitter @ViperTeam for updates as well!

Facebook page is in the works also!

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
Thanks BThomas! I appreciate the help. Even got a cool, Finito...Muah message after I flashed. Unfortunately, I got stuck in an auto reboot loop when I rebooted. I restored and reflashed twice. Still no dice. Oh well, no data tweak for me. Rom is still really fast as far as I'm concerned. I just figured it would be something else I could tack on to the awesomeness. No big deal :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
just put the tweaks file on your sdcard, and use root explorer to move it to system/bin ...then open terminal emulator and type "busybox chmod 777 data/tweaks" (without the quotation marks of course) and it should put you right back to "#". If it doesn't then do "busybox chmod 777 /data/tweaks" and if it brings you back to "#" you're good to go. After that just type "data/tweaks" or "/data/tweaks" whichever one works.

Anyone having problems with gps after installing this rom. My buddy has the epic and flashed the DK28 tar file using odin. DK28 was working perfect on his phone and gps was fine. He then used the oneclickroot with CW3. His filesystem was converted from rfs to EXT4. He then wiped data and cache and dalvik cache as the install guide said to.

Installed the rom and the GPS no longer works. He even flashed back to the stock DK28 tar with odin and repeated the rooting/install custom viper rom process and gps still did not work. We also tried the MSL reset while rooted with CW3 and the viper rom but the phone just got hung at the samsung screen. So we had to battery pull and boot to recovery and flash the viper rom again.

Any other things we can try to fix the gps? Anyone else having this issue? We just flashed back to the dk28 tar with odin and gps is working again. Guess we will just stick with stock until we can find a solution.

Just also wanted to say Great work on this viper rom guys. I checked it out while he was running it and must say its an awesome rom. I dont have an epic but if I did this would be the ROM I would be running. Keep up the great work. Hopefully we can get the gps thing sorted out so he can continue to run some of this awesomeness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
What probably happened here is that the the file was installed when you "flashed fresh 4.0.3" and then it was removed by the advanced data restore...
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
i would try this....... try odin both tar files 8g and the 8gb i always use the pit file even though i know you dont have to. I have had problems when not putting the pit file in there. My phone would not connect to the computer and the proper driver signatures would not be reconized soon as i odin'ed back this time placing pit file as well as 8gb tar viola the proper drivers were reconized by windows. I dont know if this has anything to do with the gps but its worth a shot seeing how i have never had a gps issue yet with any of these roms and have never had to odin to stock to flash new roms when roms one below it were already installed. I also want to note in case people are using this tar file that i had problems when using this file and that is the one on this forum thats has the cwm3 and root built into the tar file. So check to see if you have used this file to odin and that goes for anyone else that has possibly used that tar file to odin in order to skip extra steps like installing cwm3 and rooting after doing stock install just to skip a step. I beleive the file was called something like stock dk28 tar. w/ cwm3 redirect rooted. Herfe is that stock file with the one click troot gps hack cwm redirect i was talking about http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
I had the same issue.. gps was bascally dead but after msl reset it started working but not to the fullest extent tho.. its still off my couple of meters and tracks very slowly.. i ll play around for a week and most likely switch back to nebula or stock..
[Epic 4G Android Development] misan0022:
gps and hotspot issues

Do you guys have a fix for the GPS? I pay for the hotspot and i noticed that it isn't working. Is there a fix for that? Otherwise, great rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Ok, for everyone having GPS/Data issues, I have a fix for you. There's 2 ways to do this, and i'll explain with each one.

This first way is the easiest way. Download the ROM to your computer. Without unzipping it, navigate your way through it to "/system/etc/init.d" ...when you get in that folder, delete the undervolt script. After you delete it, simply flash the ROM. This should take care of data/gps issues.

The second way is if you have Root Explorer. Open root explorer and navigate to "/system/etc/init.d" and delete the undervolt script. After it's deleted reboot the phone and your data/gps issues should be taken care of.

Thanks ecooce for helping to point this out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Okay... I tried using rooted explorer... also Super manager and both pretend to detete the file but never does? Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Hmmm... I would just pull it out of the download then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] frictitious:
What is the undervolt script labeled? When I follow that path there is nothing called undervolt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
I have a question for the dev. Why is the internet so slow on this rom. I know it not the browser and I tried different rom and for some reason the internet is slower on this rom. Right now im on midnight and internet is regular as it should be. Also was wondering if apps2sd is still available on this rom. Thanx.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
So why does my gps work when I have the undervolt script applied? And would it work better if I don't use the undervolt script? Kinda confused here... cuz I've used the undervolt script w/ 2 other roms and gps is working fine (I think??)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
/system/etc/init.d/04undervolt

Delete 04undervolt
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Ok, I mean no disrespect but I posted a fix to this literally 3 posts before you asked your question, (Yes, I counted them, this is the fourth post from when I posted the data/gps fix). If you guys would take the time to read, half of the questions that are asked in here, wouldn't need to be asked. Don't get me wrong, if you have a legitimate issue and it's something different that hasn't been asked before, i'm all about helping. We want to find out what bugs we have to try to get them worked out as soon as possible. But when I post a fix for a known issue and literally 3 posts later is a question on how to fix data speeds, it becomes repetitive and obvious that people dont read. When people post repetitive questions, a lot of people skip over a lot of posts rather than reading what could be a potential issue, it becomes a constant pattern, and a lot of other peoples questions get missed. I'm gonna stop ranting on now and leave you guys with this:

If you're going to post something in the thread, feel free to use the search button first to see if the issue has been addressed. If the search isn't working (and yes, i am aware that sometimes it doesn't work) please at least read back a couple pages to see if something has been posted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yes, while it IS possible for everything to still work while you have the undervolt script applied, your data speeds drop and could be a potential issue for the GPS not getting a lock. If you remove the undervolt script and reboot your phone, you SHOULD theoretically return to normal speeds and data connection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Deleted the script and such but still can't get a lock with GPS. Was workin well on 3.0.3, I skipped 4.0.x and went straight from 3.0.3 to 4.0.3 haha. But no worries, know its been a problem ever since the Epic got released, it PMS's whenever the hell it wants :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] pfries:
Are you leading in with a / it is "/data/tweaks" hit enter.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
Wow, I removed the undervolt script as described, went to maps and watched as the arrow literally walked its way from over my attached garage where it usually resides most of the time to exactly over the living room and on the correct side and corner of the house where I am sitting. Now it looks as though I've narrowed my varience from 2 meters to paractically zero.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Same for me 4.0.2c was working but not 4.0.3, hopefully corrected when dk28 is replaced/fixed :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] pfries:
BT,

Sorry bout the pm ..... had to mch help from kids.

Wanted to get the question out here.

If I am not mistaken you had stated you made some changes to the undervolt script. As people did not report the issues with the unervolt script from the Viper store if we delete it through a file explorer or remove it from the zip can the undervolt mod from the Viper store be installed in its place? Is it compatable with EXT4?

Well I modifide the ROM zip,(removed undervolt)

Edified the script for the undervolt hack from the viper store (removed the dalvic to cache also)

flashed rom( did all the wipes)

restored apps with Titanium

Gps locking in 2 second average

[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
neecee you using the built in rooted explorer or root explorer? I used root explorer from the app market not the one built in. I removed both undervolt scripts it found and rebooted phone. Unfortunately it did not fix my issue with the Google Navigation getting stuck at (getting directions). I never had gps issues or data issue that i could tell so i really dont know what to tell people.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Hmmm when I delete the file and flash the zip again. Its going to erase stuff right? So mine as well wipe then flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Well I tried 3 different root apps. I used the one built in and also the non built in one.

Hmmm I thought I did, my fault.. worked with root explorer. I'll report back :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
Thanks again. I guess I'm doing something wrong here. I moved the tweaks file to my sdcard (i.e. /sdcard). When I go into rooted explorer, I can see that there are 102 items on the sdcard, but when I drill into the sdcard folder, nothing appears. From the sdcard folder, I did a search for the tweaks file. The search finds the file but I can't long press it to give me options like copy or move. When I just press it, nothing happens. I can locate the tweaks file on my sdcard from Astro and I moved it to the /system/bin folder. But when I go into terminal emulator, I still get not found results. When I type 'busybox chmod /777/data/tweaks' I get

Busybox v 1.17.2 (2010-09-17 21:51:54 IST) mulit-call binary.

Usage: chmod [-R] MODE[,MODE]... FILE...

Each MODE is one or more of the letters ugoa, one of the symbols +-= and one or more of the letters rwxst

Options:

-R Recurse

#

But still, when I type either data/tweaks or /data/tweaks, I get a not found result.

2 bad so sad

Thanks again anyway. I appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
MY guess is you need to follow this step:
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
The tweaks file does not show in Rooted Explorer. I mentioned that in my post.

edit- it actually does appear in the /system/bin folder now. I had to use Astro to copy & paste it to the /system/bin. But I couldn't just move it from the /sdcard to /system/bin. I could only copy/paste. But, it did not appear at all when I tried to locate it in the /sdcard via Rooted Explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
actually you put an extra line in there ...no worries, easy fix... it should look like this...

busybox chmod 777 /data/tweaks

You had this....

busybox chmod /777/data/tweaks

the difference...

after chmod in my command, there is no "/" and also AFTER 777, there is a space before /data/tweaks.

Hope this helps some.

Also, i think he was trying to say there's a difference... Root Explorer is a paid app, while the built in Rooted Explorer does not have the same permissions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
I should have mentioned that I tried busybox chmod 777 /data/tweaks before. Sorry about that. I did notice root explorer in the market but didn't think there a difference in permissions between that and rooted explorer. Thanks for the tip. I'll try super manager. If that doesn't do the trick, I may go for root explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
Thanx for the quick reply. Why not update the op or better yet intergrate the fix on new rom realeases! I've used this rom before and it seems to always have this issue. I try to read as many posts as I can but when it this many its kind of hard to keep up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gzub:
I still don't understand how the undervolting is working, the default kernel does not seem to have this and we don't have the source to compile a custom one.

Care to elaborate as to how your undervolt tweak is working, or even causing this gps issue?

[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
Worked for me with root explorer (if you have it)
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
Quoting myself here, but just to follow-up on the resolution: it's a long story but the bottom line is I just typed tweak. Nothing else.and bang poof, it worked. Thanks Thomas and Meet for your help
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
I have been on Viper ROM for some time now and have never experienced the issues you talk about. This is a development forum and a development ROM. As a result they do push new ideas out and those ideas sometimes cause issues.

As far as updating the OP there is a wiki for this ROM and that is where you will find many of the issues addressed. What I don't understand is why you are so concerned about a ROM that you don't even use?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Sounds to me like maybe you should just stick with stock....development does require reading and they do this stuff for free.....so for you to demand something is outrageous....reading is fundamental in every aspect of life...

[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
I like viper but due to this issue I went back to midnight which is another great rom which doesn't seem to have this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
I'm not a noob if that what ur getting at. This isn't my first android phone, I had an evo before the epic and a hero before the evo so I'm not new at this. Now if this tweak is causing issues with gps and internet shouldn't it be an optional install instead of leaving the user to dig in 50+ pages to find a solution. I did read and looked for a solution but couldn't find one which lead me to using midnight and regarding me damanding anything the dev doesn't have to do crap, just a friendly suggestion. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
GPS not working for users is a known issue with DK28 and it is not specific ROM related. Some users have great GPS and some don't. Me personally I am accurate to 2-3 meters. I did block out my address but I assure you that it was correct. As far as the internet issue goes I have no problems with speed with mine. You might have gotten a bad download of the ROM when you tested. You could always try to re-download the ROM and try it again.

Nah just long press on your homescreen, press Shortcut > Applications > Choose the application > Press the application Icon when it comes up > Select Custom Icon

Delete the name of the App when you choose it (you'll see what i mean) so it doesn't show up under the icon and make it look weird.

[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Eh GPS is either hit-or-miss for me when flashing ROMs. Currently doesn't get a lock at all on 4.0.3 lol. Troubleshooted the hell out of it too.

Did these steps:

1: Odin'ed back to stock

2: Got a lock on stock

3: Rooted with CMW3

4: Got a lock on stock w/ root

5: Odin'd DK28 Modem

6: Got a lock on stock w/ root and DK28 modem

7: Flashed ViperROM 4.0.3

8: Tried for a lock and never got one

9: Odin'ed to stock again

10: Got a lock on stock instantly

11: Opened up the 4.0.3 .zip and deleted the Undervolt script manually

12: Rezipped the file

13: Did steps 3 through 7 again, this time flashing the .zip that I took the script out of

Still can't get a lock. So I just gave up on it lol
