Rodderik's Corner: (always under construction)

You guys really need to give it up to tphillips. He has spent many hours preparing the next ViperROM incarnation. With out him it would not be what it is now. Be sure to at least thanks button if nothing else!! Great job TP!

The kernel in this version of ViperROM I have made official as 0.4a so any question or curiosities that are kernel related should be directed to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11491730

Good work TP. Always awesome to see hard work come to a finished product.

Just so y'all know, the wiki (see my sig) should be updated at latest by tomorrow evening with all the latest installation info, most likely it will be up tonight.

As always, check the wiki first, then ask questions here. And for any little nasties that pop up, the ticket system is always available.

[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
Better Metal Snake theme - Based on Afterlife Hell theme with some extras added to it. Please read this post, I am not taking credit for the work that went into this theme! Link is on the bottom.

I personally take no credit OR responsibility for what is in this zip file or what it does. The real credit goes to the people listed below. If you see something in the theme I didn't credit someone for, PLEASE let me know and I will credit them. There is no need to flame me or shut down a thread, that would just be a shabby thing to do. I created absolutely nothing in this ZIP file and have tried my best to keep track of where everything came from. The only thing I can take credit for is being able to download and use 7-ZIP to merge components from several themes/ROMs into one flashable zip that hopefully won't brick your phone. The only testing that has been done has been with EB13 based ViperRoms - it may work with others, but somehow I doubt it.

If you like this theme and care to donate, send it to Rodderik, Jstine671, Makipsee or buy a Dethklok album. They did all the actual work. Clicking thanks on one of their posts is always cool too.

BACK UP BEFORE YOU FLASH! It worked on my phone with the latest ViperROM, but you never know...

Credits go to the following:

Jstine671 for the following from the Black Alien Void:

Black Icons for Browser.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk

Entire Contacts.apk, Settings.apk and Mms.apk

Touchwiz Lock Screen:

- Lock Icon

- Clock

Framework:

- Notification Bar

- Transparent window shade

- No Signal icon

- Various popup menu icons and background PNGs

- Power menu icons

Credit to the Viper team for the following:

Red Swype - Makipsee

Hell Theme components by Rodderik including but not limited to...

- Battery, Signal and Wifi gauges.

- USB and ADB icons.

- Touchwiz framework toggles for Wifi, BT, GPS, etc...

- Hell theme dialer

- Theres probably more, but if it came from the Hell theme it came from Rodderik

Nathan, Toki, Skwisgar, Pickles and Murderface:

- Ring Tones, Alarms and Notifications

- Boot animation/Sound

- Mass storage screen

- Wallpaper

The whole Viper team and everyone on IRC (Lili, DG, BT, TP, Meet, Paiyne, Vocal, Semi, Trist, etc...) for putting up with my ****. Sorry if I missed someone, too many to list.

Granix and GranixJR for their words of wisdom.

To be added later if I get some time:

Themed Market

Themed Facebook

AOSP lock from Hell theme

Clean up the dialer a litte

SD Card icons to match theme

I updated my modem to EC05 and man did it help my download speeds. I was getting the ol 1xx now I'm on 3 bars of 3g. I get horrific reception at home,or I did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
So you flashed modem on top of Synergy?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mideastbeast:
Any way you could post the "how to" on updating the modem for us that aren't so savvy? Not sure if this entails a lot of steps or having to Odin back to stock or not? If its too many steps don't worry about it. Thanks :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
If he did what I expect he did. He had Synergy Flashed, and used Odin to flash the ".pit" file, by placing it in the "PIT" box.

But yes, sharing is caring =D
[Epic 4G Android Development] evohog:
There are directions and links in the generel section, the modem need to be run with odin. I myself have only had my epic for about a week and some change now. So saying that its pretty simple
[Epic 4G Android Development] gsrboy171:
wifi tether is not working in this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] evohog:
No sir, modem tar in the phone box, and yes I did it over synergy. It really helped my data speeds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
LIES...not working for "you" =]

Haha, Wifi tether can be finnicky, you may want to try different versions to see if you have any luck.

Anyhow, minez works finez...see how I rhymez?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gsrboy171:
lol @ spitting bars/rhyme

i tried the the one that came with the rom. it worked then i turned it off and tried it again and it haven't worked since. i did the hole rebooting thing with no luck. i reload the rom and it worked then the same thing happened. i tried the other wifi tether thats on market and that dosent even work at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
And you are still running Viper? Can you link me the .tar file you used?
[Epic 4G Android Development] evohog:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001394

this is where i figured out how to update my modem to EC05. the directions are on page 11.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
Wouldn't that overwrite Synergy?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
OK, I see now.

So yes, you can flash the modem.tar with Odin, you will also need the proper .pit file.

If you don't know what you're doing, then figure it out before you try.

If someone doesn't first, I'll get some steps together later, right now I'm at work. So I'll bbl.

Cheers big ears.

P.S. I have heard good things about the modem thusfar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] evohog:
No it leaves the rom as is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Here's a link to the modem:

http://www.multiupload.com/LNZXJFTCS0
[Epic 4G Android Development] evohog:
If you go through the thread I posted it will explain a few different ways of doing it. I only did the modem because I wanted the baseband update for better reception, I didn't do the pit because I didn't want to replace synergy with stock EC05. Hope this explains a little better
[Epic 4G Android Development] evohog:
Thanks for the link, I knew I forgot something.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
To update Modem:

You stick the modem.tar in the "Phone" section & the Victory pit in the PIT section.

If you don't know how to get ahold of the modem.tar & victory_8G_10528.pit on your own, then you probably shouldn't worry about this right now.

About the tether problem...

If you want to use the market version, it's broken due to the fixes to the new tethers that are baked in. I kept addressing this when I had ACS, but everybody's caught up on wanting to use the newest tether (which i hate because it's unstable)

Here's how you can get the market version to work:

download this http://db.tt/PaVnJar

Navigate to /system/lib

Delete the file "libnativetask"

Paste the file you downloaded above, and hit yes to overwriting the existing file.

This will, of course, break the experimental wifi tether and wired tether, but at least you'll have a stable wireless tether and you can always use easytether for usb tethering ;)

If you want, back up "libnativetask" and "libwtnativetask" before doing anything if you want to revert back to being able to use the newest tether (BTW, those are the two files in the tether fix that's baked in causing this problem)

Id really like to see a viper dev solve this problem of the tether fix breaking the market wifi tether, since the ACS guys weren't paying attention to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gsrboy171:
thanks so much. going to try it now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Oh and by the way...

THIS ROM IS SICK! First time using viper,and I must say...a whole other level guys. I'm so impressed.

And FINALLY, somebody freakin themed the little glowy background when you slide left/right to call/txt a contact..that's probably what I'm happiest about, believe it or not ;)

BTW, the little glowy background is not themed when you slide within messaging, only contacts and call log. Just a heads up
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
nice job insanity213! i'm glad you finally decided to release it. very brutal!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I did that! HAHA someone finally noticed the slidertab!!! Awesome you like it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kentpayne3521:
anyone else been having problems with the dock apps not working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Are you kidding me? HELL YEAH I like it! That's my favorite thing that froyo added, and I thought "how cool will it be when somebody themes that".....and then NO ONE did it..

Major props to you TP...that little mod right there shows me just how much work you put in to this. That's an incredible amount of detail. Slidertab FTW!

Btw, you should release multiple versions of it ;) just sayin....for my sake at least haha :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] SPElectronics:
I too like the slidertab feature. I wasn't even aware of that until I saw the last few posts about it! It makes things so much easier. Luckily it isn't so over-sensitive that you accidentally call people while simply scrolling through the contacts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SPElectronics:
Won't that overwrite SynErgY, and put you back to stock though? Wouldn't you want to just use the modem.tar in the phone section of Odin and nothing else, so it flashes only the modem? Just curious, and want to be sure I have it right before I try to upgrade the modem. I would rather not start over from scratch again. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
ec05 works with this ROM

ive been reading the thread and theres a lot of questions related to EC05.

i can confirm that if you are already on synergy, go ahead and odin the modem over, it works!

I used the ec05 modem.tar a couple pages back in this thread and the victory pit

I also got the icon pack used with this theme, as i prefer ADW launcher ex but wanted the "theme" to look like Tphillips intended

so now i can have my 5 rows and still the cool orangy-ness

DLed it from here:

http://www.hellbent.cc/android/froyo/viper/viperstore/

DL the file:

VIPERmods_LauncherProIconPack1.zip

cheers
[Epic 4G Android Development] mideastbeast:
I only used the modem.tar and not the pit. It worked perfectly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
No, this is a modem.tar, no an EC05-gibberish.tar, which would be 100+ MB in file size. Plus, you do not put this .tar into the PDA slot. You should be just fine. I've done it, as have several others.

If you don't know what you're doing, or are uncomfortable, then sit back and wait until it's coupled into ViperRom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
the pit file doesnt overwrite anything.

if you only use the modem.tar, then only the modem changes, your "ROM", Viper in this case, will be left intact.

now if you are odining the full EC05 froyo build TAR file, then yes you would be back to a stock 2.2

its replacing only the modem vs the whole OS essentially
[Epic 4G Android Development] dogcmp6:
Very nice rom, my only question is on the screen shots, how can I make my home screen look like the third shot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SPElectronics:
Haven't looked at the ec05 file yet, so wasn't sure. I'm definitely not uncomfortable at all. I have flashed my 2 Epics at least 30 times now. I aren't skerd! ;)

I just didn't feel like starting from "stock" again since I just did that last night before flashing SynErgY (wanted to start fresh to be sure nothing was left of the previous rom that might cause issues). Not that it's a big deal either, it's just an extra few minutes work.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] evohog:
I just put the modem in the phone slot and only had reboot checked. Worked fine I still have synergy
[Epic 4G Android Development] nfamisnme:
Guys just do it! I just used odin with ec05. I still have synergy! And 2 bars of service instead of 0......dooooooooo it!!!!!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] mideastbeast:
Thanks evohog, signal strength went from 1 bar to 3 with the new modem and after a few speed tests it does seem like my data speeds have a slight improvement. My phone is now perfect :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
The modem update really helps with the issues people were having with EB13. Only issue some people report is stock browser checkerboard. Bluetooth, GPS lock, and signal are better. I have been using it since Saturday night without a single problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Off topic, but does the modem also deal with/improve 4g reception? Or is that a completely different set of code

It's the only reason why I would flash it early as I've never had signal problems and this viper rom had made everything else smooth sailing :))
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skidiver:
Odin to EB13

I was on Viper Rom Trinity EXT4 and now I am trying to ODIN to EB13 and it is getting stock in factoryfs.rfs...Can someone help me please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
First off, have you checked the Wiki? If not, clicky my image-linky.

Second, could be your usb cable, or you have a bad download of the EB13 .tar, or you are using Odin 1.6, and should try Odin 1.3, or you need to use a different USB port, or you are not following the correct order (start odin, select appropriate files/settings, THEN plug in phone, then start Odin). Just a few common areas off the top of my head.

Report back.

Ec05 dl tripled from .25 to .75 and I also redid my quadrant and posted 2008! Would the modem have any effect on quadrant? Previous score on synergy was 1933. Maybe that's not all that big of a jump, but seeing two thousand kinda tripped me out.

Not to nit pick.. but I noticed going through the tabs on the top of contacts, the colors of the three tabs change from orange to green.. no biggy just something I noticed :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] SPElectronics:
What are you using to test your speeds, and is that on 3g, 4g, or wi-fi? I don't think I have ever seen those down/up speeds on these phones on 3g EVER, so I'm curious how you're managing that. I would LOVE to get speeds like that.

I must be the only one that after the EC05 modem upgrade has gotten LOWER speeds (slightly better ping time, but speed is slower). Pre upgrade I got 1163 kbps down, 365 kbps up. 282 ms ping.

Second test: 1018 kbps down, 301 kbps up. 253 ms ping.

After the EC05 upgrade I get - 388 kbps down, 289 kbps up. 228ms ping.

Second test: 836 kbps down, 222 kbps up. 177 ms ping.

Phone in exact same spot for each test.

Pretty disappointing to say the least! Oh well. Can only blame Samsung & Sprint! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I believe he was saying he got those speeds with 4G ...However, did you flash only the modem or both the Modem and the PIT files?

Very nice tphillips! I myself am not a fan of the AOSP lock screen (slide sideways to unlock), but I know MANY others are, and will be excited to see that. It is so much more difficult to grab the phone and slide the lock sideways with one hand, than it is to slide the lock UP (when the phone is in my hand, my thumb instinctively slides the lock up in a fluid motion, but sliding sideways is not natural). :)
