can someone give me a step by step giude as to how to get Darktremor's a2sd working on this rom? I tried following his directions posted here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7021325&postcount=2, I tried following the OP's direction and I tried the steps done to get it working on my EVO to no avail (it is how I got my apps2sd to work.

(note: do this at your own risk)

1. BACK UP YOUR MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER

2. Using AmonRa's recovery

3. Boot into recovery mode

4. Select Partition SD card

4. Set: 512 Ext: 1024

5. let it finish select SD:ext2 to ext3

6. go back to usb-ms toggle

7. Put all your stuff back on your memory card now

8. I went to Wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache, wipe Dalvik-cache and finally wipe SD:ext partition.

9. Then flash the rom and let it boot all the way up

10. Reboot into Recovery

11. Flash Kings #9 BFS Kernel

12. reboot

13. connect usb to phone and using adb type

"adb shell"

then

"/system/bin/a2sd check"

you should see some properties

scroll down and look to see if dalvik cache is run on sd card if not type

"a2sd cachesd"

the phone will reboot by itself

once again using adb type

"adb shell"

then

"/system/bin/a2sd check"

make sure dalvik cache is now running on sdcard

also check to see if Zipalign is set to boot if not type

"a2sd zipalign"

now reboot phone and check your phones memory you should now see about 410mb of memory. Mine is at 397mb with about 20 downloaded apps):(.

I just can't seem to get Davlik on my sd card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
yes they all work...if any one runs across the dk28 versions i will update them
[Epic 4G Android Development] sockaplaya22:
i tried that and it still didnt work..

whenever i try restoring just the app without the data it has some kinda error

i tried restoring from both astro backup and titanium backup .. =/

ugh when ever i have lag fix installed it doesnt want to restore anything correctly
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannieboiz:
Like many on here this is the first rom I'm having issues flashing. I'm getting no signal and it takes like 5 minutes to scan 1gb on my SD card.

Looks like airplane mode is on but when I try to turn it off it just goes through a flashing process. I've tried to reflash 3x already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Do you have the Viper Lagfix installed?

Edit: What is meant by step #11? The kernel thing may be another issue. ?? I don't think we can actually flash a kernel to this - or any DK28 - yet. This may not be what is causing your apps2sd problem, but it may be creating another issue as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
sounds like you didnt flash the dk28 modem with odin
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannieboiz:
actually I did, additionally, I'm coming from the leaked froyo and confirmed that i was on DK28 to start with.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Can you verify in your phones (about phone) settings that everything "DK28" flashed over correctly through Odin and shows as such? I ask because I had a similar issue and noticed that the baseband version still said DK17. Once I re-Odined, everything worked perfectly.

Also, if you are coming from a previous DK28 "leak", it wouldn't hurt to Odin again and go fresh. Pain in the ass, maybe, but at least it would be a stock DK28 then go straight into this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] antpila33:
just wondering if usb tether on 4g works for 3.0 yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannieboiz:
I'm an idiot, I loaded the wrong file. I just loaded DK28 and now I'm golden. Gonna test it for a few days and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I wonder this too? As well how is the code reading going @BT on mobile ap? Just checking in.. no rush as always and appreciate your time and patience with working so hard to make the most compatible and useful 2.2 rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
When you downloaded Hell, did you by any chance add a different pulldown or any other add on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I would try flashing it again

Team Viper guys are really top notch. If there was an overall rom issue, a fix would already be available.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
ok thanks. ill try both out for a day and see what happens
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
I think I added the ai sounds and the gingerbread keyboard before I did the restart I'm going to backup my current rom and the download the hell version from the viperstore. Try flashing it again I hope I works ill let u know in a bit. Ill do it without adding anything first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] devo52:
so anyone know what benafits of having a ext4 kernal
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
I tried it again without adding anything and its just with contacts that I can't close or go back on. On all the loaders not just launcher pro. So I guess ill just stay with my trulyepic wish I could have viper rom but not till that is fixed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] venumx:
that's a game changer for ya, huh? lol. has happened to me forever, no idea why but only on contacts...i just use the home button.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Did you wipe everything 3 times before changing from TrulyEpic to VIPERrom? I am not 100% on this but it is my understanding you must do a full wipe before switching from one to another. It would be different if you were on TRiNiTY 3.0.3 and going to Afterlife 4.0.1. It doesn't look like any of the experts are here right now but if you didn't try that, give it a shot. Good luck!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I tried Launcher Pro and am currently on Zeam without a hiccup. This rom is amazing and from what I've read on other threads, I have gotten better Linpack marks than people are reporting with ext4 currently....ok venum x is here. He knows exactly what's up
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
If you're that anal on contacts running in the background (which it sounds like it to me) that's what task killers are for. Better yet. Memory Booster Lite (which comes with the ROM by the way) has a task killer built in it. I understand your frustration on the back button not doing what you want it to but that shouldn't be the deal breaker on choosing your ROM. This ROM out performs most of the other ROMS out there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
from what i have read task killers do more harm than good with 2.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Oh man, I didn't realize he was just talking about a back button issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I've had that issue in contacts forever, I figured it was a bug in all dk28's. maybe even all the way back to Eclair, but not sure...
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
I'm NOT trying to be rude but I really feel I need to point out something.

Here's the problem c. It isn't something that is in the ROM. I don't have this problem at all... and haven't heard anybody else saying it is a problem... (edit: I see that yogi says he has the same problem but I'm still going to tell you it isn't in the ROM per se)

Therefore.... to make a statement like "I won't put it back till I can get that fixed" isn't really relevant since you won't see a statement some time in the future that says "cgarcia's problem is fixed" since it isn't something that others are duplicating and isn't a "known issue" if you will in the ROM.

What I might suggest dude is doing a reflash of the ROM and keeping things simple, i.e. don't run right in and then do all of the MODs in the ViperStore, don't go crazy with installation of 100 apps (install ones that you truly need to use initially), and don't restore setup files from some other ROM.

Just trying to help man... since it appears that you are quite new to this world of XDA. Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I've read up on this a bit, and I've come to the conclusion that that general of a statement is false.

The problem is that most task killers pick out apps to kill by memory usage. If you identify apps that are grinding cpu cycles, that would be beneficial, except in the case where those apps auto restart.

My 2¢
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Ill just stick with he'll version I just won't really open my contacts. Anyway thanks everyone and if anyone does figure this out please let me know. Thanks really
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Yea I wiped everything 3 times but still no luck ill just work around opening contacts for now lol. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
I tried the home as well but it won't close it doesn't even show up in the task killer o well. So for u it closes when u use the home button. And what's the best loader to use I'm trying zeam right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Hey everyone thanks for your help really I think it was the loader that was causing my contacts not to close I tried zeam right now and I can close it using the back and home button. Sorry for making a big deal I just thought it was my phone. But anyway thanks and which battery mod do u guys recommend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eteocles:

How can I get rid of the sims 3 game that I didn't know wasn't working without buying the root explorer or reflashing my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
I had Hell installed three times and then I removed it and went back to Trinity because of issues that my phone was having. I assumed it was just my phone and something I did but I notice that a there are several others with the same issues. I also really want the ROM to work so I have installed it two more times since I went back to Trinity in order to try again.

BT said he wanted testers so I decided I should share my observations. Sound on the settings FCs and xda settings FCs and holding the home button causes a double vibrate and reboot. These issues are not immediate and I have did a wipe/reinstall a total of five times and it happens to me every time. One other thing that I believe may be relevant is that it seems the problems are directly after internet flash video viewing. I am not certain that the first couple of times were after flash but I know the last three times were.

For everyone who tried installing sims 3 from viper store. I was able to remove the non working sims 3 with titanium back up.

I have one question now that I have used this rom for a while. The lock screen which is super easy to unlock.... there is no way to open a text that shows on it at the bottom? I tried flashing the original tw lock screen but it still didn't have the "button" to drag down.

Is there any chance the undervolt scripts would work on another rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Its on your sd card... look in downloads... then flash the downloaded files through clockwork
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Give it a try... I've made minimal changes to the kernel, and I don't think they would be the deciding factor... test and post results :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] relz:
Well, it flashed fine and I'm not having any problems so far. I'm not sure if there's a solid way to see if its working, but it seems to be so far! Thanks for the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
Nope they are downloading as text files. They download in 3 seconds and when they finish instead of having the astro A they have a little green droid with a green line above his head

the only ones that do this however are the ones i download from media share or rapid share
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
When you are in Clockwork, the zips are in download, not downloads file. Hope that helps(ie

I have a download and downloads file on clockwork)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I smell the smelly smell of something that smells smelly... it almost... no it DOES... it smells like 4.0.2 ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Hey BT, I installed Hell right when you dropped it and had no problems but when I tried the Heaven theme from ViperStore, I got the FCs in settings so I went back and installed the complete Heaven version of 4.0.1 and its perfect! If I now grab the Hell theme from ViperStore, do I need to adjust anything when flashing to the other theme to avoid any FC issue in settings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Damns BT! Already?! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!...smells good to me!

Sent from my space brick
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I saw that.lol. Is there one zip that includes the clockwork change and ext4 or did you just flash the ext4 over VIPERROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Also, are you seeing the speed improvements others are saying compared to how fast this rom is already?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sweepingzero:
I just took the recovery file from another ext4 rom and plopped it in before flashing. I didn't notice any differences between it and any other ext4 rom though.

Quadrant scores were the same about as other ext4 roms. I have flashed a couple different roms since I went ext4 and have not noticed much difference between them speed wise yet. Then again I've been using them fr shortish periods

Ole, ole ole ole...

and no, MobileAP is not in 4.0.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Did you notice the difference compared to b4 you installed ext4 though? Meaning is it worth it for me to do now in your opinion because I am sure Bthomas22x will make it easy and straightforward to do. If you think its worth it, can you hook me up with the link because I saw several little changes...not sure of correct link
[Epic 4G Android Development] sweepingzero:
Id wait. I just like viperom a lot and was impatient so I decided to try an expiriement. Though when they release ext4 support I can compare the differences between the 3 setups. To tell you the truth I'm surprised I didn't break something

[Epic 4G Android Development] sweepingzero:
i make an ass out of myself on a daily basis :) and bt tried to blow me up :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Alrighty, guys ...for the ext4 ...here's a brief explination...

Right now, the phone runs off RFS, it's where all your system files are and when the phone reads them, it tends to be a little slow and sluggish... Then we introduce EXT file systems....

EXT2 - Fastest

EXT3 - Most Secure

EXT4 - Best of both worlds...

Your phone will ultimately run faster, but there's also a downside...

EXT4 could also decrease the life of your phone ...i mean it's not a significant decrease.. and you'll all probably have new phones by then, but it does effect it...

EXT4 IS included with 4.0.2, along with a couple other scripts to make it fly.

DL will be up soon.

[Epic 4G Android Development] crodgers79:
I would really appreciate hearing reviews of 4.01 versus 4.02a with EXT4. While I understand the increased/better I/O that EXT4 provides, I would rather hear from some Viper fans as to how the newest version compares before I give-up my beloved 4.01 setup (which seems to be running just fine, thank you!).

Appreciate this community's support!
