Only issue I'm having now with GPS is with google nav. Sprint nav works flawlessly - as far as the GPS itself is concerned, the program itself sucks hard though.. I also get locks using GPSTest and other apps in seconds.I did have to go back to 18 and work my way back, but it was easy enough to do.

Unrelated to GPS-

One quirk that irritates me is that fkcing noise the phone makes when it loses and finds the signal again... I know its not related to this ROM specifically, but is there a way to lose that sound?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Remember Google Nav is in BETA and also please remember DK28 is just a leak and not the official update so that's what we have to work with. But it's safe to say that Team Viper is currently working on a fix for this. The instructions for getting a GPS Lock can be found HERE .
[Epic 4G Android Development] frictitious:
On apocolypse when i did the msl reset the gps worked great with google nav. Now on Frozen I'm the same way it works incredibly well with sprint nav and wont lock at all with google nav. I'm ok with that as long as I have gps I am directionally challanged.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Despiadado1:
Every now and then I try other ROMS because, well, because I'm a flash junkie apparently. I find it impressive, to say the least, that I come back to VIPER ROMS every single time I start having one of the inevitable issues that I will have with other ROMS.

Now, with 4.0.3, it seems that Team Viper has taken the awesome stability typical in Viper ROMS and merged it with a super sexy theme. I'm not talking about needlessly flashy transitions or childish icons. I'm talking about window coloring and fonts and various other things that are minor alone but mesh beautifully!

Follow the instructions that they lay out clearly and avoid restoring old data from a backup and this will be your GO TO ROM also. Of course, if you hate the color blue you might want to find another theme. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
I tried flashing jstine's Black & Blue theme on to Frozen (I had the zip on my computer before he/she deleted it). I used the theme on Apocalypse but I get stuck in the boot loop when I flash to Frozen. Are the Frozen and Black&Black themes interferring with each other? If so, can I extract the zipped Black & Blue files and paste them in Frozen to overwrite some of the theme files in Frozen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
from what ive heard is you have to go from stock dk28 to frozen and cant have any apoc stuff on there prior to frozen.... although this is what is written i flashed frozen on top of apoc and everything works fine on mine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Noonski:
One quick tip and request.

Try not to quote posts that are very large with a lot or big pictures.

There's always a link in the quote to the original anyway, and this should make the thread more readable.

(also for my and other Moderators sake as I/we have to scroll longer through a thread to quickly check what's going on and who's misbehaving.

Cheerz and Thanks,
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Not a problem... you heard the man! No more quoting long posts. Please :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
I was on midNIGHT for the longest. Decided to try viperROM out. So far.. its okay. Perfomance seems to be the same. Will run it for the day see how it goes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
So the proper technique is to maybe copy a line of the post that you may be addressing? Or would it be better to use the screen name of the user? What is the most efficient method?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
You could just link to the post...or probably quote the long post and delete the portions you don't need to reference.

I think it's important that people can follow what you're referring to with ease, otherwise it's just a bunch of garble, especially when the quote you're posting is page(s) back.

Def, would minimize quoting large posts or humongous sig blocks. I don't mind quoting large blocks if it's all relevant...but I'm not a MOD, so I don't have much pull around here =D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Noonski:
Above is possible but exaggerating ;)

Yes deleting the irrelevant parts is a good practice.

Leaving just a line will still leave the link to the original post.

But as said before me leaving the relevant information is the best.

And if it's about actual code (programming, xml etc)

You can almost always quote as that is Development related.

Another not to good practice is quoting a the post just above the quoting post :D.

Biggest annoyance is the streams of Pictures with a Thank you or Cool Beans or Me Likes.

PS: It's not for Moderators sake of course, it's a general Forum Annoyance, especially for thread followers that actually read more then they post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
ZOINKS!! :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
I did ODIN to stock when I went to Frozen. Still get the boot loop though when flashing the Black&Blue theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
have you tried both 8g and 8gb tar.s and putting the pit file in as well. I know you dont have to but i had problems at times when i didnt put the pit file in. Also are you using the tar file thats in this forum that has the one click root and cwm3 built into it if so dont use it i had major problems with that
[Epic 4G Android Development] RayTrue04:
After deleting the undervolt file and re-flashing Frozen performance has improved greatly. My widgets load faster and don't freeze up while doing so like b4. Only thing I can point out is the Navigation app wont start up. I don't use it anyways tho so it's ok lol. Good job Viper guys! Also is there a way I can get my Gtalk app back on this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
are you running the ext4 version of Viper? if so, you can download and flash this to get Gtalk:

http://www.hellbent.cc/android/froyo/viper/viperstore/VIPERmods_Talk.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
I grabbed the dk28 file from the wiki. I didn't try 8g. Just the 8gb from the wiki. I put the tar in the pda section and the pit in the pit section. Thanks for offering assistance. It's not a big deal. The Frozen theme is cool.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Quiet around here lately
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Around the whole Epic forum really.

Updates are more spread out in time, not much more Dev's can do without the Source code, and all the users have given up on ranting about Froyo.

It'll stay this quiet until Source code is released, and we can get some overclocking, Mobile AP, TV-out, and all that good stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Don't be too sure. Only time Team V is quiet is when they are busy 'cooking' up some goodness. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Oh man I definitely know haha. I've been followin Team V ever since BT was the only member in it. And when he had an update out EVERY night lol.

Didn't mean any offense, just explaining to people that they shouldn't get worried, Team V will be bangin' out updates like crazy again when source is dropped, specially now that its not a one-man-team. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Get ready for something EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Can't wait.

For some reason the Viper chat doesn't work for me anymore.. Soon as I connect, i get disconnected 5 sec later for Ping timeout or some crap. Its weird lol

Oh and, is it me, or does the Gingerbread keyboard that 4.0.3 uses have no "&" sign? I can't find it for the life of me... Lol.

EDIT: Turns out the "&" sign is substituted by some backwards "3" with a "+" in the middle looking symbol. the "&" shows in small letters on the "U" with the "7" as well but when you long press you still get that 3 with the + symbol.

Anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:

[Epic 4G Android Development] nycks1:
Need help, Ok I updated my phone to Froyo 2.2 now i want to try the VIPERrom. Is there a video on how to do this? Or a step-by-step. Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
install voice search from market. should fix your issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I wish I would feel the full effects of it! Unfortunately, there isnt much snow in Hawaii (and yes, there is one mountain that gets snow) :( ...I hate snow when I'm home, but miss it while I'm here lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
If you go to YouTube and type "randyshear" it will pop up with tutorials... that dude literally covered every epic ROM there is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Awwww poor BT in Hawaii...send me some fresh pineapple! One time I've been, I had some at breakfast every morning...oh man I'm getting hungry!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
or u could read through the first post and notice there are instructions there lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
so i saw that BThomas22x said there were some goodies coming soon. new update? been interested in viper for a lil bit now just havent really gotten around to it, but i hear alot of praise from it. might wait on the new update to come out tho before i flash it on if there is one right around the corner. the ROM im on now isnt too EXT4 friendly and keeps deleting all my widgets after a few weeks and my gf had been having calling issues on hers so i might flash her on it tonight and take a test drive =P
[Epic 4G Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
if im gettin something from hawaii deff not gonna be pineapples but ill deff take some maui wowie =D
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
go to the first page and check out post#2 and youll see just a taste of whats coming (the Kitchen) :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
Lots of kitchen puns?

lol:p
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
From what it looks like. I'm thinking The Kitchen is going to be like the Spicy Chicken app that was on iPhones back when jailbreaking first came out. It let's you theme individual things instead of 1 theme changes everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
Get on it man, this is the best rom out there! You will have no regrets.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sockaplaya22:
titanium will automatically restore the apps without confirmation on the paid version :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
^^ Indeed it is... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
I never use tit back up
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
I know! I bought the pro key for my droid. Made flashing roms easy.

What about the 3.0.2 flashed 3.0.0? Anyone try it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Neeceebabe,

What do you by taked away the batter low pop up and lets you take pictures?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Whenever your battery is below 15% and you try to take a pic, the stock camera app will not let you. Well that hack stops the pop up :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Stkiswr,

I didn't have wipe but I also didn't have lagfix and I was coming from 3.0.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] superradrudeboy:
i did not use that sgs tools and am unable to uninstall launcherpro. I received a message via titanium which i have never received before about it being in system/app.

if i try installing launcherpro plus on top of the current launcherpro, the installation fails.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah, wiping is not needed, the update-script does it for you... if you have the lagfix installed, when you flash 3.0.2, you will need to reinstall the lagfix because it will be wiped out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Great! Didnt think so but wanted to ask. Thanks for the fast replies!

Sent from my EVO
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
That SGS tool comment was aside from the titanium problem. I used Titaniumbackup and uninstalled it. Then I reset my phone. Went back into titanium back up and hit restore app only, and then data only. N for some reason I think that worked. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Ok guys, here it is ...your WORKING A2SD :) :)... i have confirmed this, it moved all my data apps out of data... so here is the download... follow the same instructions in post #2, part 3.

WORKING A2SD <---Click Me :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
you need to remove the launcherpro.apk from /system/app with a program like root explorer and it will be fine

there is another copy in /data/app

2 copies found their way into 3.0.2 by accident...NeeceeBabe did this and everything is fine for her now
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Actually I did what I stated above, when I went into system apps with root explorer I didn't even see Launcherpro because I had already removed it with Titanium-back. I think after removing it with titanium back and restarting my phone did the trick. Titanium-back is my best bud :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tslydiner:
I love ur ROM but I'm running superman right now only cuz of your choice of defult ringtones... Any chance you could add some more?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
lol bro, when you download the ROM, you can open it up, go to "system/media/audio/ringtones" and add whatever you want :) Only reason i don't add them is to save space.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
grab ringdroid from the market and slice up your own ringtones from any mp3 file
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
I had this issue uploading pictures in FB with the stock ROM when I first got my Epic and in every iteration since. The easiest way to fix so far was this:

1. Open the picture you want to send to FB with Gallery.

2. Click Menu > More > Crop and select the entire photo.

3. Click Save.

It might make a copy appending the filename with "-1", I'm not 100% sure, but the "cropped" photo should now upload with the proper alignment. Hope that helps!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tslydiner:
Makes sense, and sounds easy enough... thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
I flashed ok, boot up, went back to recovery and flashed a2sd, boot up, installed terminal, and the ext2 tools ran boota2sd ok, fixa2sd did nothing. ran just a2sd and it went through the cycle, apps show being installed to system\sd\data. reboot phone and it won't boot up. Had these issues with a2sd before. it goes to the GalaxyS screen then goes black with lights along the bottom on. The phone will vibrate every minute or so but won't boot up

[Epic 4G Android Development] skylordusa1:
Still a no go on the gps working on my friends epic. Dont really understand why it doesnt work. We odin'd back to stock DK28 using the DK28 tar file. We then went outside and got a gps lock right away. We then opened up the viperrom.zip and deleted the 04undervolt file as described a few pages back. We then rooted the phone using the oneclickrootCW3 which went great.

We went outside and got a gps lock right away. We then rebooted into recovery and the rfs filesystem was converted to EXT4 automatically by cw3. We then flashed the viperrom.zip with wiping and without wiping before we booted back up. We tried all of these steps both ways wiping and no wiping. But once the viperrom is flashed gps no longer works.

Anyone else have any suggestions cause Im pretty much warn out from searching for fixes. Is it a problem with the rom? Is the viper team already working on a fix. Or is it a problem with google maps cause I noticed after flashing the viper rom and the phone boots back up google maps is not there and he has to download it from the market.

The rom is amazing and everything works great except gps. Hopefully we can get it working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
Just to clarify...is this valid for 4.0.1 also? Since I was notable to find the script on the rom.zip...

If I understand you right I have to delete this file and re flash the rom right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skylordusa1:
UPDATE: Alright Awesome. I took another shot in the dark and downloaded the sprint navagation.apk from the OP and then installed it on the phone. After logging in to sprint the gps locked and I was able to get turn by turn directions with the sprint navagation app. I also tried the google navagation app and the searching for gps went away but got hung on the getting driving directions. But as long as the sprint navigation works we are happy.

So If you are having gps problems try the sprintnavi.apk that the viper team provided for a quick fix. Hopefully the main issue with the google apks will get fixed in the future.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
Google Navigation getting stuck on "getting driving directions" is a known issue (documented on the Wiki). It is being worked on.

Keep in mind that Google Navigation is still in beta... So I would always recommend testing GPS using a GPS test app and Sprint Navigation (Google maps seems to be OK too) prior to deeming your GPS not functional.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
hows the battery life on the latest rom? and are there any major issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
the battery is great and no there arent any major issues ...but you should flash and see for urself ...cause this is an amazing rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:

if you dont use GPS its nthing major but here are the bugs in 4.0.3

- 4.0.3

No solution at this time

Google Navigation Hangs on "Getting Driving Directions"

GPS Problems for Some Users

No solution at this time other than this

I am runnin 4.0.2c (ext4) and love it... gps works just fine
[Epic 4G Android Development] slabhurta:
Running 4.0.2c too as well. I just think its so smooth i dont want to change it.

I do have a problem get data without 4g connected but thats it...everything else works and runs so smooth and fast. Plus i like how it looks with the dark flava to it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] echap10613:
Ringer

I can't get the ringer to ring when somebody calls. Have gone into settings and everything is the way it should be. Just did a hard reset and still no ring. Any suggestions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BopChie:
odd, i keep 4g off at work and home and never gave a issue on wifi or 3g. I came to viper from quantam so i full wiped 1st
[Epic 4G Android Development] mideastbeast:
OMG this is sooo off topic but I was laughing so hard I was crying :D

I guess things are a little slow right now on this thread. The calm before the storm maybe?

I'm running 4.0.2c Ext4 and never had 3G or 4G data issues either btw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigJPNut:
After you delete the undervolt file and reflash Frozen, arent you in essence putting the undevolt mod back in since its built into the rom? just wondeing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
Not if you delete it from the zip prior to flashing...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
That youtube video has scarred me for life
[Epic 4G Android Development] RayTrue04:
Well I was trying to delete the file from the phone but none of the apps I tried did the job it would say deleted but still be there. I wasn't trying to pay for the one that supposedly would remove it so I just removed it from the folder on my pc instead then copied it to my sd card and flashed it. So no it's no longer there anymore. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Here is a lil video i threw together from my phone previewing viper rom and showing off a lil ...lol ....Enjoy ...WATCH IT i wanna get mad hits on this video and make viper Rom the best in the World

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K_IXbDn9CE
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Nice job.

Did you change the theme yourself? Your 3G Icon is different and the pull-down notification bar is 4.0.2's I believe isn't it? :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] frictitious:
I hated my epic and wished I bought an evo until I discovered viper-rom. I bought my fiance an evo, now with this rom running on my phone it blows the evo out of the water.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Yes it is a different icon set and pulldown Rodd made a apocalyptic theme for frozen
[Epic 4G Android Development] S1NFUL CE1:
just flashed frozen 4.0.3, everything seems to be running fine so far, but i noticed my benchmark scores are nowhere near what they used to be when i was running trinity. frozen is getting the same scores as apocalypse. are these benchmark scores even accurate??

TRINITY

Quadrant: consistent 1700, but ranged between 1650-1950, 2050 a couple of times.

Linpack: 13-14 mflps in 5.95 seconds

SQL: consistent 28 seconds

APOCALYPSE/FROZEN

Quadrant: 900-1050

Linpack: 13 mflps in 6 seconds

SQL: over a minute
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Just a little preview of what's coming :)... but the rest is secretive!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Hmmm yeah, somethings off... did you restore data after flashing frozen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] S1NFUL CE1:
well, i restored all apps + data via titanium backup if that's what you mean?

but when i flashed these roms... i've always been using ROM manager and there were no issues with the flash. i always backed up my rom before flashing a new one and i wiped data prior to flashing as well. just don't understand why the benchmark scores are way off. i even looked on youtube and saw that benchmark scores should still be high as when i was using trinity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omegatyrant:
Hello all!

Just picked up an epic from my brother and went straight to work and flashed frozen as my first rom. Great work! I do have a couple of questions that I couldn't find in the previous posts.

Can I still flash some of the themes and pulldowns from the viper store? (On 4.0.3 RFS)

Can I flash themes from other devs like the stock lockscreen?

Thanks so much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
Wow that launcher look awesome. I can't wait to have it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
Does audio out in the car dock and home dock work yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] walkbyfaith:
I want that launcher! It looks pretty sweet. That and I think the Viper kitchen is a really cool Idea I am waiting for!

Oh and by the way this is my favorite rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
You have to be careful when choosing what to flash now that we have EXT4 and RFS differences, plus we have build number differences.

You can try flashing anything that is specific for DK28 build number and RFS memory system. Don't flash anything else that says any other Build Number or EXT4.

Make a backup through clockwork just incase before you flash anything though.
