Root [ROM] Viper 4G 2.0.0 and beyond

EarlyMon said:
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. :)

Hey EarlyMon,

I put the Icon on thru the Viper Hub just fooling with it but I can't find a way to remove it. Thanks for checking on the 4x5.

I am trying to use Drive to post this but it seems to only give me a broken link so here is the URL:

LoL - that's a new one on me. :D

I'll ask the guys in a little bit. Viperboy just posted the first stock rooted JB rom, so the team is a little busy at the moment... but soon, promise.

Thats Ok, I will be moving on to JB soon as well so I can deal with it until Viperboys Rom gets the ok.

Chris.
 
I hope Viper gets the Viper Hub & Tweaks into the new JB ROM...that would be so awesome!
 
That will come in Viper4G 3.x - no ETA on that, naturally.

Tweaks needs to be updated by another team member needing to buy a newer HTC to continue the effort.
 
Hi Everyone...

Been on the ROM for a few days...getting comfy...

I saw a SuperUser root request for the following:

I didn't recognize the requesting app/program so I denied temporarily. What is requesting root??

THANKS!!
 
I just got an update notification whilst on Viper?

I wonders if this is from Viper or some how from some kind of whitchcraft?

I'll wait and see if it pops back up and take a screenie.
 
Hi guys...

Thought I'd post here because I know there are a couple beta testers. I have a suggestion....

The Volume and Silent Mode Quick Settings icon toggles are IDENTICAL in the Viper Tweaks for certain toggle modes (OF COURSE the mode that I want on at the same time!:D):

I just wanted to suggest changing one of the icons. One could figure it out after a few tap tap taps in the notification pull down but would be nice to just tell the difference on first glance.

THANKS!!
 
So I've been running Viper 1.0.0 this entire time. Then two days ago my battery inexplicably drained dead in 7 hours (I was not using it), and when I restarted my phone a bunch of my apps were missing, and all of the rest do not work! I had not downloaded any apps within 24 hours of this occurrence.

I found that if I use mybackup pro to backup and reinstall them they work, however I cannot batch reinstall more than 2 or 3 apps at a time without my phone freezing and rebooting. Then it acts very glitchy and slow when it reboots.

I'm hesitant to go through the trouble of reinstalling everything without knowing the cause. I'd guess that my internal memory was corrupted somehow, but everything else in my phone work just fine, including my SMS and phone call history. So I really don't know what's going on. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Wow, sorry to hear. I don't know the reason but maybe a factory wipe and full reset may help?

Or first try a wipe of Cache and Dalvick in recovery.
If it doesn't help try the factory reset.
Then if still not I'd try a different rom I think.

If that doesn't help it's possible it's a hardware issue.

Thanks for the quick response! Trying the Dalvick now...

I've been running Viper 1.0.0 for so long, I don't think that's the issue. But if this wipe doesn't work, I'll be going full-panda and flashing the newest Viper.

I am absolutely terrified that this might be a hardware issue. If it is, I may be going with an SIII as a replacement. The lack of RAM is really starting to get to me.
 
Ever since the last update or so of MyBackup Root, I've gotten that exact same behavior - on a clean install.

Also - not a bad idea to hold the power button for 10 seconds to force the ram to get really cleared out in times like this.

If you go for the whole enchilada, please note my posts above flashing lagfix4 - in the later version of ICS, HTC borked a few things that create bloat and lag while you're running.

edit - decided to quote what you needed -

EarlyMon said:
I recommend flashing the following two things with a clean install of Viper 2.0.2 -

#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.

The #Fapple fix is optional - it restores your links to the way they've always been on our phones, not the Apple way that got shoved down on us.

There's a lagfix4 for with or without #Fapple, so that's your choice on that.

Me, I say, #Fapple.

Thanks! Also, Liked your post for consolidating all of the info, thanks for that too!

Well, the Cache/Dalvick Cache wipe didn't fix the problem, and I have run the 10 second reset several times (after several of the times that my phone froze from the mybackup pro restoration failures).

So, I'm going full panda and Viper 2.0.2 (plus all of the lag fix and #Fapple stuff :angel:). I'll let you all know what happens...
 
Interesting... I see that Panda is no longer supported and all of the files have been pulled...

Odd thing is that I downloaded all of the stuff a couple months ago when I was debating on whether to do it... The trouble is that the AF rooting guide says that Panda is for HBoot 1.12 and Raccoon is for 1.15&1.19, and I'm still on 1.12... so do I run with the old unsupported Panda or use the new Raccoon?

As I understand it, you can run the Lazy Panda if you have all the files and stuff. They just won't help you if you get stuck in the process. They aren't supporting it. The other choice is to do the DR, but you need to upgrade your hboot which I believe means running an RUU to the proper hboot.
 
Well, while I'm downloading Ubuntu, I have a 10 month old Nandroid from right after I installed Viper 1.0.0... lets see if this fixes the problem...

It works! Now to see if this old version of mybackup pro can bring my data back to where it was...

FYI, I am now setting a calendar reminder to go off every month to make a new Nandroid backup.
