Root [ROM] Viper 4G 2.0.0 and beyond

I figure you're doing ok or I'd have heard back. :)

I recommend flashing the following two things -

#Fapple - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947686 - be sure to grab the version for Viper

lagfix4 for #Fapple - will speed things up nicely :) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35084694&postcount=9071

Wipe cache and Dalvik after you've finished flashing.

Note - in TWRP, you can stack those up and flash in one session - be sure to do them in that order though. ;)

PS - also, not a bad idea to update PRL and Profile when done with all of that.
 
I've tried the #fapple / lag fix 4 twice now, and it still shows the app associations tab in settings. :confused:

I've full wiped twice now, and installed as per Vins post. I guess I'm not holding it right. :p

Might try to flash it stand alone instead of all in the same recovery session.

Yeah I was doing fine...hence the silence. Was also running errands.

Was wondering why the suggestion for #Fapple?? My guess is that one is NOT prompted for app associations where one would WANT the association choice correct?? So that you can associate whatever you want whenever you want.

As an aside, similar to app associations above was used an app called Andmade Share that permits you to narrow down the list of share choices, hiding them from the list and also allowing you to send using multiple apps. I only ever use like email, text, facebook so it was VERY annoying to be prompted for like 20 different possible sharing apps. Cool to have for the share menus...

Still at the verrrrrry beginning of all of this so I'll be back soon....
 
#Fapple makes your phone behave as it did before the legal battle, in addition to giving you the pop-up so you can select anything.

Without #Fapple -

With #Fapple, plain text urls in apps are detected correctly, same as it ever was -

So, if that matters to you, you want #Fapple.

Then pick the lagfix that matches your setup, with or without fapple.

Wait until you discover button re-mapping and getting rid of those 3 dots on every screen - Venom Tweaks, available in your app drawer or from your quick settings.

And themes and font changes are a click away now.

You're flashing #Fapple first, then lagfix4-fapple second?

Interesting, because that #Faaple link above showed screenshots of app associations only but not the clickable links that you showed. Now THOSE I miss!

Do I just flash #Fapple in recovery??

Custom FONT...good, I had a custom font on my old EVO. I looked at the Viper Tweaks

The Viper version for #Fapple file link at the first link above is entitled

"#Fapple_FINAL(Viper4g compatible W/Lag fix)"

Do I still have to run lagfix4 after this as suggested??
 
EarlyMon said:
Yep, flash #Fapple in recovery, followed by lagfix4-fapple.

Look in your app drawer for Venom Hub. Clickable font installer with samples, no flashing required.

For a return to stock font here's that with a little extra made by a venom team member -

Any way I can install the "Decker" font?? It wasn't listed in the Venom Hub but I had it running on my old EVO:

300 Flashable Font Packs for the EVO 4G

The Decker font is in post #7. The above fonts were only tested on the EVO 4G as indicated at the font link...
 
I made the mistake of thinking both the #fapple and the lagfix were included in the same .zip too. :p

I needed to flash #fapple for Viper first then the lagfix for #fapple second to get everything hunky dory. :)

EM got me straightened out on that one too. ;)

So you see an improvement/are happy with flashing both?? I haven't flashed either yet...I've only rooted a couple days ago with not much time to sit and and play.
 
Lagfix does more than the name implies.

It adjusts memory control parameters and has a big impact on multitasking. Without it, things like the Chrome browser can lock up forcing you reboot. With it, that's virtually gone.

Lagfix 4 is close to all such adjustments coming baked in on the next release.
 
Well, this is my performance after my first battery cycle. Not too shabby:

Everything is turned on, all sync, and location services with google.
 
Ok, I have come from MeanRom, and JellyBomb and like all the roms I have tried. This one seem the closest to the features I want. I have two questions:

1. I put a status bar icon on and would like to remove it but don't know how, can anyone help?

2. is there any way to have a 4x5 Rosie? I thought there was but It looks like I am wrong.

Thanks Chris.
 
Did you put the icon on courtesy of an app (for example, Quick System Info Pro does that)? If so, you can remove those in that app's settings.

There was a mod for 4x5 Rosie, but I'll have to check where that is and if it's compatible with this version. I'll also see if I can find out if it's going into the upcoming release. No guarantees but I'll check. :)

I dug around EM, and I couldn't find a rosie mod that wasn't included in the tweaks. I gave it a solid 20 minutes, searching through the Viper threads, no dice. :o

Hopefully you can find something. :)
 
EarlyMon said:
Yes. lagfix incorporates an updated version the lagfree changes and many others.

If lag persists after lagfix4, you have to wipe and then re-install with lagfix4 immediately after that (or #fapple and lagfix4 if that's your preference).

Going to give it a try this weekend!
