Root [ROM] Viper 4G 2.0.0 and beyond

[SamuraiBigEd]

I flashed the new radio and pri at work earlier, waiting on the phone to charge back up then I am going to reflash the rom and see what happens.

I'm not having camera issues, just Gallery, it keeps saying "No Photos Found".

I flashed the new radio and pri at work earlier, waiting on the phone to charge back up then I am going to reflash the rom and see what happens.

I'm not having camera issues, just Gallery, it keeps saying "No Photos Found".

Most people are having no trouble, according to the XDA thread.

We all seemed to face something, in my case, I didn't clear data, you know.

I wonder if it's an error in Aroma wiping properly, or something weird (I don't want to throw rocks at Aroma). Just saying, what if it's something subtle with different manifestations?

Anyway, if trouble persists, maybe try to clear both caches, zip align, and fix permissions from recovery.

You're s-off, correct?

 

[EarlyMon]

BTW, it's official, I'm an idiot.

DSP Manager has libraries that I lost when system was formatted. Reflash, no problems.

Also, you can turn off that annoying Beats notification and restore the range of Beats settings found in 1.0.0. I'll post links if anyone is interested.

I did both caches, a factory reset, a wipe then reload and did a full wipe during the reload. I did not load up my apps or data yet, went ahead and did the OTA (it feels so weird saying that) beforehand and all seems fine now.

I think I may manually set everything up a little at a time to see if it was a conflict. Everything is backed up so I haven't lost anything.

I think you may be on to something about subtle differences manifesting.

And yes, I am s-off!

Get rid of Beats notification -

What I did was....

Go-to system/app and rename

"VenomBeatsNotify.apk" to "VenomBeatsNotify.apkbak"

I did that.

To get back the old Beats settings -

I still prefer DSP Manager, but for those who like Beats, there you go.

Good, you can keep me company!

Rocking the camera on this. It's actually working properly so far.

Stock rooted it would click like crazy and take 2 pictures. Even the HQ camera mod would act "weird" for me. This seems to work. I'm going to knock on wood just to be safe.

I haven't read the thread over at XDA, but has any progress been made on the Linkify nonsense?

 

[EarlyMon]

No news on the linkify front.

On ringtone issues -

This is known issue from HTC. They released a patch. SteelH has it available here.

I already passed it along to Viper. Install at your own risk.
It's probably fine to install but nand first just in case.

It appears that I am missing Mail notifications on wifi, but gmail is ok.

It appears that I am missing Mail notifications on wifi, but gmail is ok.

I don't use the stock email I use gmail and hotmail and I get notified by both on wifi and 3g. so definitely sounding like a stock issue.

 

[EarlyMon]

suprmallet reported a gmail notification issue.

 

[argedion]

suprmallet reported a gmail notification issue.

Does he have the firmware updates?

 

[EarlyMon]

Dunno.

I do know that I agree with a suggestion made at XDA -

Edit /etc/init.d/21viperrom

Comment out the read_ahead_kb line.

Mine runs noticeably faster now.

 

[EarlyMon]

That controls sd card read ahead buffering.

I have Boat Browser set to cache to the sd card.

The performance difference in that and my forum apps is astounding.

I was ready to bail on this for lack of responsiveness and the linkify nonsense.

I can wait a little bit on the linkify nonsense now.

This screams.

 

[Granite1]

Dunno.

When you say "comment out" does this mean delete, or something else?

Put a # in front of the line. That is the bash comment indicator

Can this be done in terminal emulator or should it be done from the pc in ADB?

If you have a text editor on the phone it can be done through that. Just save an unedited copy if you need to change it later.

OK just tested it out and apparently I am not getting email alerts on wifi, I do get Gmail.

After going over the XDA thread yesterday I did notice a lot of similar little problems, I am thinking Early may be on to something about "something subtle with different manifestations." Acore crash, gallery issue, notification issues are a few of the quoted problems, there were more but I can't remember them off hand after just one cup of coffee.

 

[argedion]

Did my first OTA ever now am 2.01 with viper. Think it may be a tad over rated

BIG +1 to Early for the ringtone fix find. That worked well for me.

not sure what the update fixes as for me I really wasn't having the issues others have been having. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones this go around. I don't use stock email though so can't say if I had problems with that or not as I uninstalled it

I did the firmware update yesterday and I think it actually helped with 3g.

 

[EarlyMon]

The 2.0.1 was something minor as I recall, to do with Rosie maybe.

 

[suprmallet]

My gmail began to work at some point, weird.

However, now when I try to access my phone I get "process android.acore.process stopped" or something like that. I'm wiping my cache now and if that doesn't work, I'm going to flash the new firmware and radios.
