GPS Works, My brain however might not....

A few things, #1, viper wiki needs 2 be updated as I was still unable 2 get a gps lock with the stock dk28 modem file and had 2 go down 2 DI18... no biggie really, but I previously had done all these steps when I first saw my gps wasn't locking and just redid them (previously it was when I went to hell I had my last known gps lock as I leave it off 99.9% of the time) I honestly didn't check 2 see if it worked since a day or 2 after hell dropped and all this 1st came up about the gps not working... IDK maybe I just flash 2 much crap on my phone but honestly I didn't think that I would have 2 redo all that odining, I guess has anyone else had their gps stop working in 2.2(.1) AFTER they "Fixed it"?

also after my install of CWR3 I pulled the battery on the phone cuz it hung on the samsung screen for a half hour b4 I had enough and pulled the battery and booted into recovery and applied the 4.02c zip, IDK about anyone else but when I "redid" these steps a lil bit ago I had the same prob of hanging on the samsung screen and I just waited 5-7 min before i pulled the battery, as I wasn't able 2 use the 3finger restart from the samsung screen (tho I only tried for 20 or so seconds).... Thank god for the epic being a hard phone 2 brick or I'd have a new paper weight...

anyways everything seems fine and I now once again get a gps lock in under 3seconds from my couch whooo!!! Just though I would share, once again huge thank you's 2 everyone who has worked so hard 2 put all this great stuff 2gether!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
I have not followed things for the last few days.....because 4.0.2c is so great that I have not had the urge to change anything!!!

I'm running without any FCs (except for the ones I created on myself trying things and I wanted to say, "Thanks BT and Viper Team!"
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
You can verify that it worked by going to Settings --> About Phone -->Battery Use immediately after you wipe the battery stats and reboot the phone. If the battery use is indicating that the Display (and maybe a very small % on Phone idle and/or Cell standby depending on how long the phone sits after the reboot) is the only function using battery the wipe worked. If you have a whole list of stuff with varying % of usage then the stats were not successfully wiped.

GPS issue and wifi tether issue

Hi,

I've decided to write something about the issues that I've been experiencing with 4.0.2c. As an Epic CFW user since Epic was released, I've just begun to notice a "weak" gps signal using this rom that results in disconnection of GPS every now and then on the road (on almost every single trip). Plus, wifi tether would not install on my phone with 250mb left in the internal storage. It sometimes would reboot my phone forcefully upon execution of the apk file (the one that is provided inside Viper folder in SD card), or it would simply return an error message that says something like "not enough available space" -- while I am able to install any 30mb game apks directly on the internal storage. BTW, this issue was existant on the previous versions (version a and b) as well. I unfortunately cannot wait for the wifi tether to be fixed at the moment and must make amends on my choice of CFW, but do promise that I will give it another faithful try when the next version is released. Thank you team Viper for a good effort. will be back to check replies..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Strange Brew:
Yes that is correct. If you are on 4.0.2c RFS and are losing your apps after reboot.

-Boot in to CW via 3 finger salute

-Do a full wipe 3 times of data/cach/davlic

-Flash 4.0.1 (heaven or hell) via CW

-Let phone fully boot in to 4.0.1 (Heaven or hell)

-Turn off phone

-Boot in to CW via 3 finger salute

-DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!!!

-Flash 4.0.2c RFS

-Reboot phone and enjoy all the viper goodness. :-)

Thank you, I will give it a try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
It is normal for the phone to hang on the samsung screen and require a battery pull after the CWM 3 install because it coverts your phone to Ext4 and neither the stock DK28 nor any Viper ROMs prior to 4.0.2c are Ext4 compatible. I learned this the hard way. So word to the wise, make sure you have the 4.0.2c zip on your SD card prior to updating to CWM 3 so you have the ability to battery pull, boot recovery and flash a ROM compatible with the changes that CWM 3 brings after the update, otherwise you'll never get past the samsung screen :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] djg_1982:
I did everything you said but when I try to flash to 4.0.1 hell I get

"Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
Yeah Honestly I figured that was what happened but I wasn't sure and there is always Odin as long as i can still get into dl mode on the phone, but I was kinda stumped as to why this was never brought up (I did use the search like 100 times since last night) and did not find anything useful about going 2 ext4 not being able 2 boot w/o a ROM of sum sort, anyways this whole thing with the GPS was my fault cuz I just assumed once I Dropped DI18 once and got a lock and went to DK28 and had a lock I would be good to go with all installs without worrying but it was a month plus since I even turned the GPS on so my bad
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandoShadow:
I just noticed my GPS wasnt working, what steps should i do to get everything working. I dont mind losing data, I have everything i need backed up

This is my first ROM and other than the GPS issue I am having I love it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Odin to at least DK28...might as well go back to DI8 and up to 4.0.2c. Make sure you get a lock all along the way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
Hope u are comfortable with Odin, I did a Google search for "DK28 GPS" I think it is the second result that came up with a fix on xda, for some reason when I use the search on xda I get the most useless post as to what I'm looking for. Anyways Short sum up of what I did was Odin Back to stock DI18, boot, get gps lock, Odin again to DK28, boot again and get a gps lock, then one click root w/ CWR3 (for ext4)...then apply the 4.0.2c ROM and for final time I checked to see that my GPS was working. seriously I get a lock now way faster then I did on the DI18, anyways I each time went into the market and got gps test free 2 make sure I was getting a lock, I guess you can use google maps but I didn't so don't quote me on this...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
I couldn't get a lock w/ the DK28 so I had 2 do 2 extra Odin flashes because of this so I would HIGHlY recomend starting @ the DI18

Edit_ this is the post I think http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869806

Not Exactly what I did but I should work...

Also make sure you have a copy of 4.0.2c on your sd card be4 you start this process if you plan on converting to ext4 since your stock system will not boot after ext4 conversion, also I did a nandroid back up that I restored after I flashed the rom and made sure I had a GPS lock... Hope this helps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Guys this happened to me a couple of times. I made sure I was through the Maps intro then when I went to Navigation it was perfect. The two apps are linked so maybe there's something to it...if you uninstall one, the other goes too
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
I concur. Every time I flash I make sure I have Navigator installed and fire that up. I do it in my living room in front of the TV and when I get a satellite lock it shows the arrow right on top of my house. Can't get much better than that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] randyshear:
I'll leave posting it to the Wiki to someone who knows how.. Any takers??? I'm downloading 4.0.2c now, and will do a video of it tonight.. I'll post it on this forum when it is done uploading.

Ok i need some HELP.

I was trying to flash the stock dialer from another thread that was dk28 and it made my phone force close everything. I tried to reflash the rom and it wont let me do nothing. Keep saying force close on the TW launcher. And many other FC messages.

So now i cant even turn my phone on. Any suggestion on what i can do now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thedarkness81:
Flash back to stock and start over, that's what I had to do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey guys, just sneaking in for a sec. But if you type,"a2sd cache" that should move your dalvik and your cache to your sdcard. I've tried this myself. But you can't install both the lagfix, and a2sd. You gotta either have one, or the other. You might already know this tho..... later guys. Be back Tuesday ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cali77:
Hey great work on this rom. Flashed it yesterday and liking it alot. One question tho. Does rooting, or maybe just certain roms, disable the qik video chat app? Its not on my app menu anymore, and I tried installing it thru the market and my phone says it's not supported. Is there somewhere specific to redownload that app to get it working again? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
A quesion about the battery. As I am never one to leave well enough alone, I caused an issue that's bugging me. I read in here how to calibrate the battery by charging 100% then going in and clearing the battery stats, then draining to 0. I've done that but now it has begun fininishing the charge at 98%. It didn't do that previously and the only reason I even did it was because the batt was draining faster than I thought it should. I've done the recalibration thing 3 times as well as reflash. I c an unplug it and replug it and charge it to 100% but as soon as I unplug it again, it goes to 98 immediately. Any other suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Qik Video is a "stock" app. Most custom roms remove many of the stock apps to give us more space. I use the Qik Video app myself and I have been able to restore it after flashing all of BT's roms/updates through Titanium BackUp.

This may not be the solution that you are willing to try but if you really want/need Qik, you can flash a stock rom, use Titanium Backup (or any program like that of your choice) to back up your apps. Then reflash this rom and redownload Titanium from the market and under the "backp/restore" tab in Titanium, scroll down until you see Qik Video. Click on it and choose the restore option.

In the mean time, I will see if I can try to find the .apk file and extract it from my setup. It works on my phone with this (DK28 everything and Trinity) rom so you should be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
I've noticed this as well, but I think it is just a cosmetic issue. I seems to drop immediately to 98%, but hangs there a little while before it actually starts to drop more.

With this rom I have calibrated my battery and on some days - with heavy use - I have seen it do this and sometimes go down to 85% within 3 hours. With that being said, if you do the math - I lost 5% per hour. That sounds like a lot but even at that rate it would still give me a approximately 20 hrs (5% x 20hrs = 100%) of battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Open astro file manager (its in your app drawer, comes with the ROM) and hit menu. Then go to "more" then "preferences". Then scroll all the way down to "enable browser download" and check that. Try downloading again... if that doesn't work, let me know and ill give you an update.zip you can flash.

Hey fellas thanks for the advice trying to install qik. I tried going thru astro file and going that route, that didn't work. And I'm trying to avoid the other way as that seems kinda lengthy. If that's the only way tho...one thing is, on the market it had qik for evo, but not for epic. Could that be the problem? If not, BT if you can cook up a zip for it ill appreciate it.

There is an app in the Market called SGS tools, and today there is a camera.apk file released init which enables pinch-to-zoom and also takes away the low battery pop up and lets you take pics. I did it and it works with 3.0.1.. Not sure about 3.0.2 seeing that its coming tonight :)... Just giving great finds to great people :)

BTW I've turned into a refresh junkie again because of BT post! Lmao
[Epic 4G Android Development] Strange Brew:
You must have CW 3.0 then. 4.0.1 is not compatable because CW 3.0. So your using ext4 instead of RFS. The fix I listed is for RFS with CW 2.5. Possibly you got a bad download or install. If redownloading, wiping 3x, and reinstalling doesn't work for you, put in a ticket on the viper site found in the OP in post 1 and they will help you as soon as they have time.

To fix broken GPS.

-WIPE EVERYTHING 3 TIMES! Data/cach/davlic

-Turn off phone

-Boot in to download mode (hold the 1 key on the key pad then push and hold power till you see a digging android)

-Odin to DI18 and stock 2.2

-Boot up phone

-Open google maps and get a GPS lock

-While in maps with GPS locked, hold power button and turn phone off.

-Boot in to download mode

-Odin DK28, NO ROM! JUST DK28 MODEM!

-Boot up phone, open google maps, get GPS lock

-While in maps with GPS locked, hold power button and turn off phone.

-Boot in to CW

-Flash 4.0.2c (or what ever your rom of choice is)

- Boot up phone

-Open google maps and get GPS lock

-Enjoy Navigation. :-)

This has worked for my girlfriends phone and mine as well. Follow the steps exactly and GPS should work just fine. Also is if your running CW 2.5 RFS. I have NOT worked with CW 3.0 ext4 yet so the steps may vary.

If you are unfamilliar with odin, search for it in the forums for instructions.

Same thing happened to me. Go to the viper wiki and you will find a guide how to get your GPS back. Basically you have to Odin it back to dk28 and then clockwork it to 3.0.0.5 then flash VIPERrom. Between each step check and make sure you can get GPS lock

Viper Store Having Issues

First, fantastic job with this ROM. I've recently delved into the fathoms of rooting, and after trying out different ROMs it was VIPERROM, no doubt about it. So congrats, I am sure it gets old hearing it all the time but seriously, figure for every ONE of us who posts a big THANK YOU there are probably 50 who feel the same way.

Anyway, in my efforts to keep VIPERROM as slick as ever I am having problems with the new ViperStore as well.

First opened it, mentioned NEW UPDATE available, clicked okay and was brought to store for VIPERSTORE 2.0. Downloaded it, opened it, said NEW UPDATE available...

Clicked cancel, tried to open anything and FC. Also, the VIPERSTORE picture is the same one of the old version...basically I downloaded the original viperstore I suppose.

Hope this helps, and sorry for WALL o' TEXT. Keep on kickin' butt with yer mods n' roms.
