I have made the flashables, tested, etc.. just forgot to upload. But I will upload them as soon as I get home. Dunno who the original creator(s) are but ill be sure to add a great big ol thank you lol.....

Thank you Viper Team! This ROM is awesome. I have no issues whatsoever. I can't wait till the next Version of Viper. But please take your time. This ROM came out a little later than people may have wanted, but it came out as a flawless ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
First, I just flashed this ROM after having troubles with EXT4 ROMS randomly shutting my phone off, and requiring me to pull the battery in order to restart the phone. They were the EC05 ACS and midNIGHT ROMS, which were great. I am loving the looks of this ROM, and the stability I have gained by sticking with an RFS ROM, so far.

Now, I know Quadrant Scores aren't to be taken as gold, but with the other two ROMS without OC'ing I was getting b/w 1400 - 1600, and then as high as 1900 OC'ing the kernals. After flashing this ROM stock the score was 1033, and after using SetCPU to 1.2 I got 1150. I then tried to flash the new Genocide kernal, and then started getting Force Closes, and the Market wouldn't work any more. So, I have had to go back to the .4 Kernal that is baked into the ROM. Am I flashing the Kernel incorrectly, or what, it just seems like it is underperforming.

Genocide 1.0 doesnt work well with setcpu ......try voltage control...its in the market also read the op of the kernal thread to customize ur Undervolts

[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
I have tried that multiple times. I used Genocide w/midNIGHT before jumping to Viper, so I have read the OP and used VC instead of setCPU. I should have mentioned that in my OP.

Everytime I install the Genocide 1.0 Kernal, it would not allow me to open up the Market, and it would wipe all of my apps, and cause tons of FC issues. I wiped, flashed and reflashed the ROM and Kernal multiple times and would get the same result. Could there be something corrupt in my phone that isn't being wiped?

Ok my friend let me tell you what the best combination is #1 Ec05 which you all ready have. #2 ext4 (i know you said you had problems but you should really try it with this rom) #3 genocide kernel 1.0 however not every phone plays nice with 1.4 so you might have to scale down to 1.3 to avoid getting force closes. For your market try clearing the catch in settings\ apps\ manage apps...if other apps are fc ing just reinstall them and it should fix the prob.

Worse come to worse... i have had to have a few people who were having issues with the market odin back to stock eb13...get the over the air update for Eco5 , root, flash synergy,flash kernel. Now for some reason this worked out there market issues (but this after you try everything above)...ive had 3 successes so far working out that market issue so it may work for you too. I will also pm you with something to flash so check your pm.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
I'll give EXT4 a shot again. I redownloaded Genocide 1.0, flashed, everything worked, and then I ran quadrant. My scores went down. Thank you both for your help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
Since I am CWM 2.5.5, and still RFS, can I upgrade to CWM 3.0, and convert to EXT4, and reflash the ROM and kernal at that point, or do I need to Odin back to stock, and go through that process again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RuzzT:
Blown away!

Just thought I'd chime in here. This is my fourth VIPERrom and I just have to say that I'm just blown away again. Each time a new VIPER rom shows up I think awesome, but do I really want to go through the hassle of switching to a new rom, reinstalling all my apps and reconfiguring everything to work the way I want it to. And each time it proves to be well worth the effort.

I have been running Synergy for a week now, and with the exception of a couple force closes here and there and maybe one unexpected reboot I am more than pleased! Everything runs as it's supposed to, it looks excellent, the battery life is what the EPIC should have been from the start, I get great GPS, a super efficient camera and it's blazing fast! I mean seriously, this little smartphone in my hand is doing 1.2 GHz! And I remember when I thought my 500 MHz Intel CPU was a big deal.

I have never had a major problem that I couldn't find an answer to here on the forums. For anyone who has issues, this is what I do. First off, always follow the directions in the wiki to a T. Each time I switch to a new VIPER rom, I copy my SD card to my PC and format the card, I revert (Odin) to the current stock rom and start building from there leaving the SD card out. Once the new VIPER rom is running smoothly and I have successfully tested the major functions, I copy the SD card contents back to the card, install the card in the phone and proceed to restore all my missing apps and data through Titanium and Appbak. Unless you have bad hardware, this will work every time.

So, huge thanks to tphillips, of course bthomas, and all the other excellent VIPER people working to constantly make the EPIC really EPIC! If Samsung and Sprint had you people on staff it would be a blow out for them. But I'm glad we have ya!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Billfold, I would Odin back to stock root with CWM 3.0 let it convert then flash ROM and kernal. Make sure you are on the most up to date stock release. EB 13 or EC 05
[Epic 4G Android Development] mpscmedic:
I always start from scratch also. It just seems ROMS play nicer with my phone that way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
Sounds good. I'll do this tonight or tomorrow and post back. Thanks for the help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
WTF!!!! my phone died, I changed the battery, when it started there was only the worse thing i EVER saw.... FC's out the anus!!! everything, even the com.googleservices.... now it won't let me get past my password, it's stuck in the restart loop.. it's been doing it for an hour now. it was perfect before it died... I'm forced to type this on my lap top... I feel so.... so.... dead inside.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
You and everyone else is what we are here for.....thank you so much!..You guys are what keep rodd,bt , tp and folks like me wanting to learn more to make our little phones more efficient and better of a device! Love seeing comments like yours! It makes everything worth it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
please let me know if you are on eco5 or eb13 so i can better help you. If I were you i wouldn't run my phone to death....i know a few peeps who even on other roms had issues when they did that. Ill wait for more info and give you my input then:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
you can do that..try that first and if no success odin for good measure
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
EB13, yea i stopped it after post to see if it was a battery issue and i'm letting it rest...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
This happened to me once on another ROM. I just flashed back to factory and reflashed the rom and it was fine. Is eventually came to ViperROM and never had a single issue though :) Love this ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
ok..what i recommend is going to stock eb13 and ota to ec05. after that root and do clockwork and all that jaz...then flash synergy ,,,and if you want rodds 1.4 kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
by the way

Guys..PLEASE remember to thank those who helped you....it is really appreciated....almost all of us are full time parents and have full time jobs and if we dont have jobs we take up precious fam time to come here and try and help you guys. Rodd for one almost never sleeps and is trying constantly to figure out better ways to make things easier and more efficient for you. TPhillips and everyone else also take time out of our busy days to help you here and on chat sometimes spending hours to make sure your devices are running smooth. And this goes for every other developer on here. I know they gladly accept donations but a simple thanks really makes the difference :):)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
Now just one thing.. If i do this, will I lose everything on my phone? Since I can't get in to back up and I may be able to do a Nandroid back up but is that at the risk of keeping whatever caused the plague in the first place?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
Is an ec05 viper build under way or is it go to stock ota root n flash senergy. Is ec05 something you can odin to ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Most likely, yes. You should get yourself a back up program like titanium. Or I would highly recommend paying for mybackup pro. Eat the couple of dollars now, it'll be will worth it for a quality program such as that
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Umm that's a weird question...

Yes, tphillips is working hard on an ec05 viperrom, but be patient.

Yes you can ec05 via odin.

And yes you can flash synergy once on ec05.

But regardless of what build your on, flashing synergy takes you back to eb13 (technically). You'll still be able to keep and use the improved ec05 modem (no need to reflash that). And you can use an ec05 kernel such as the newest genocide (1.0). But the current build of synergy is still built around eb13, so you won't be true blue ec05 till he releases a new one.

And as I said before, he's working hard on it. Patience is a virtue ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
No dude, my phone is stuck in restart loop, i got both, my backup errors on my files all the time now and titanium is great, but niether will help cuz i can't get far enough to use either, everything is explained on last page or so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Derp, sorry about that. Nandroid is pretty much your only option. You might get lucky and only have stuff corrupted in /system not /data. If you can get into recovery, do backup, get yourself back to a clean install (I'm assuming when you said you were running eb13 you meant you were on synergy, otherwise why would you be posting here lol. I don't think you neccessarily have to go back to stock, id say just wipe and reflash synergy [unless of course you don't have synergy on your sd card]). Then do a nandroid advanced restore, data only.

There's no harm in it really, because you'll know if it didn't work right away, then you would just have to reflash and start clean. The drawback is, of course, that if it doesn't work, you've pretty much lost your data.

On that note, there IS a way to extract data that you need from a nandroid backup on a computer, and then pushing it to your phone via adb. There's an article on how to do it somewhere, google "restore nandroid via adb", or something like that I can't remember. It should be a code.google tutorial. Basically, its using a program to view the data.img file, extracting what you want (as opposed to a full data restore that cwm does), then pushing it to your phone. Its tough, I've never done it personally, but its the last resort if you absolutely need some things that can't simply be redownloaded. There's a good chance that if cwm's data restore doesn't take, the specific files you need may not be corrupted, its other things that are mucking it up.

Soooo...that's basically a long winded explanation to say if cwm's data restore doesn't work, don't just delete the backup file after you start from scratch because there is another option lol. Hope this helps

EDIT: found a link here in the forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961164
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
Ok cool, trying that now..
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
Well, I just Odin'd back to DI18, updated to EC05, then ran the CMW 3.0 exploit. Reflashed the ROM and kernal, and just set it to 1200 with VC. Result, is a 1609 for me, and that's good for my phone. Now, I hope that the EXT4 conversion sticks, my phone seems to hate change. It may have run like a dog on RFS, but it never shut down on me.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their help, and will definately be staying with the Viper team, because of all of their help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Glad everythings working as intended for you my friend, you can always count on team viper.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Is that working out for you, let us know your progress....
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
ya dude your gonna loose stuff...but you should be able to get any apps you purchased back through the market in menu "myapps"....and ya its a pain in the butt to have to re download everything...but in long run its worth it. And ya you can nandroid if ya want....and if it acts up again just odin and start fresh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Glad to hear!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
gratzi

ok squshy....im going back and thanking the hell out of all your post :p...you've been on point my good man!....oh and you too custodian!!!!!....Damn my five thanks a day limit!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpike:
i know im in the minority here on this, but titanium has been very helpful to me Elazgar. i backup just the apps i install and the personal data and run the batch to get it all back. some folks dont like titanium...(computerkid)....but i do and have had no issues yet.

just my 2 cents
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
VC versus SetCPU

When making the move to using VC do I need to uninstall SetCPU? Will VC override or would there be a conflict?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
I would uninstall set cpu.....there does tend to be conflict
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Thanks Vocal, I was looking for the info in this OP. Rodderick does say to uninstall it. Shot you one of your favs(a thanks :-))!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Garsh thanks a bunch :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Ok dont laugh at me because im a noob....ive only flashed my phone like 6x's. Ive NEVER flashed a kernel though....so here's my little problem I flashed from SyndicateFrozen to Synergy and I tried flashing Genocide EC05 Kernel 1.0 |1.4GhzOC|UV|VoodooSound7|VoodooColor but everytime I rebooted my kernel was the same. Once again please dont laugh at me lol (laugh with me) oh and TeamViper yal are the sh*t Ive had trinity... apocalypse and 1 more cant remember which. I just learned how to root and flash roms like 4days ago lol smh NOOB!!! Help if you can though please and thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Just tried flashing http://teamviper.devphone.org/downloads/kernels/Genocide0.4a_voodoosnd_20110316.zip and that kernel didnt work either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Ok , lets start with the basics and see if we cant get you taken care of. First of all before you even flashed synergy did you wipe, you want to wipe 3x data, cache,dalvik. Can you tell me what kernel it says it has ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Thanks for the thanks vocal ;) I do what I can
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Yes I did and its says kernel version 2.6.32.9
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
you have the new kernel that is what it is supossed to say. download Undervolt and youll will see that you can now oc your processor
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
if you rnot comfortable using Undervolt i would suggest using Set CPU from the market and use conservative setting and overclock away my friend..
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
I downloaded the rom and everything worked I woke up and now the market wont work when i press it it says can not preform requested action can some one help me
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
ok....idk why this keeps happening.....are you on eb13 or ec05?....Give me a bit more info and ill be able to help you
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Is the market in your app drawer? Are you pushing on the market icon or something on your homepages? That usually means that somehow it got deleted. Look in system/app and see if you see vending.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Ok I had Set CPU from the market I uninstalled it after re-reading the op. Now I have Voltage Control question is it necessary to Undervolt? My phone doesnt lag or freeze and im not undervolting so.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
No u don't have to undervolt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Won't let me thank you from my phone so thanx. Will not undervolting kill my battery faster?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I swear my battery at 1400/200 is no worse than when I was at 1200/200. I am using SetCPU "on demand" Only uses 1400 when needed. Most time is at 200 and battery is cool
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
im using eb13 I just reinstalled the rom and it can back
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
ok if it happens again let me know

Quick question I would like to try out this ROM I am currently ON SRF 1.1 EC05 with Rod's genocide kernel.EXT4

Can i just flah the rom then the kernel? What would happen to the ec05 modem?

or would i have to go back to EB13? please help im bored lol itching to try it out
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Yes you can just flash the rom. Make sure you wipe data cache and dalvik 3X. You will have to reflash the kernel after you flash viperrom though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
The work that went into this rom is beautiful, I have topped all of my high benchmarks at 1.4 ghz will post results. I did reset back to stock clock.

I am having an issue with wireless tether from market causes a FC and wifi tether in rom causes a reboot any ideas?? (EC05) came fron SRF 1.0

I'm on Rodderiks genocide and did wipe everything times 3 prior to flashing and all seems to be great otherwise

Try adjusting the voodoo sound mic settings. May also want to see if the voodoo drivers are 7, which fixed this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Damn u Impaler you beat me to it lol. Thanks though. It's good to see a mod helping out when he/she can.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I get the same complaints
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Lame question... I can check the Mic settings in voodoo but where can I find the drivers to verify those?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
First of all there is no reason to get an attitude. I have no way of knowing what people do or don't read prior to posting their questions... When the OP clearly lists the Kernel in the chagelog for the ROM, then someone asks if the kernel is in the ROM, I can only assume that person did not read the OP... I don't know where the OP "says that this ROM works with Genocide Kernel." but I do know where it says it's in the ROM, in the

change log

... Why would it be listed if it wasn't included? Sorry I was not helpful enough for you...
[Epic 4G Android Development] kapalua:
tphillips

Do you still recommend partitioning the SD card as discsded in the Trinity thread?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ebi369:
This rom is bad to the bone.....thanks much viper team..one thing cant get gps to work other than that...excellent
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
The partitioning is to prepare for the kernel that will enable A2SD... That is coming and you will need to be partitioned to take advantage of A2SD but you don't need to do it otherwise... You can partition now or wait, it's up to you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kapalua:
Thanks. Might as well do it now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
that's the approach I took as well :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
Which apps did you try for the GPS? Did you try the usually fixes like Getting the GPS working - ALTERNATIVE 2? It should be working...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ebi369:
useing google maps ill give that a shot...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ebi369:
did that and it actually froze my phone when it restarted it was stuck on samsung...Actually had to restore the rom...would not boot..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ebi369:
After restored the rom now i have something saying welcome to sprint hands free activation and it tries to load... and it fails.....

Tried 2 different email.apk and had the exact same results. Fc when viewing a new email and fc when replying. If all you need is receive and read you are good. I'm sure this info comes as no surprse to the viper devs. exchange is normally a dealbreaker but this rom is so hot I might limp along :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] keithkevorkian:
This rom is awesome. Plus 300 quadrant score. My question is that I flashed with dk28 without odin back to stock eb13. Should I go back or can I leave it as is. Again GREAT work its definantly appreciated.
