Yep. We tested that. We decided not to do it because if you wanted to change keyboards the only way was to go into Swype and select from there, which is a pain in the butt. I'm sure sooner or later someone will make a flashable zip to take it out of the notification bar, though.

Its weird the little things they take out of their code from time to time, i wonder what the reason is for removing long press on the text box under messages and selecting you're input method. also not sure if you guys added this as a mod or not, or if it was a ics kind of thing, but under the app drawer what happened to the rearrange app feature? is this something that could maybe make it into an update to the rom??

There is a mod in the JB 420 thread for that.

ah yeah, numbers - i've started crunching them big time now - it's the season.
i use my SGS3 as my daily, but just to see how Steve & the snakes did,
i wiped my sd card and internal, then ultra clean full wipe empty plain jane install of 3.0.1 using TWRP v2.2.2.0
(no apps installed - and i never restore - except for Astro and Battery Indicator Pro, but took some pictures).
Baseband 1.12.11.1119 PRI 2.87_003

so, as a reference for you, with awesome Viper4G empty plain jane install:
App Storage 4.42 GB / 6.07 GB Apps 369 MB Other 4.06 GB Available 1.65 GB
Phone Storage 63.34 MB / 9.93 GB Apps 34.50 MB Music 30.57 MB Photos & Videos 3.10 MB Available 9.87 GB
SD Card 1.12 GB / 59.46 GB Available 58.34 GB
hope that helps

Yeah. My app installs are not restores as well. I redownload them all from playstore fresh with each install. The only thing I restore though Titanium is the game saves for FF Dimensions. LOL Anyway. I can feel more comforted knowing that others are getting the 6g for internal. Thats great to hear. My only thing, plain jane, my apps are coming up 1.77g with less than 300 free. That is a fresh install, no apps installed, nothing, not even signing into google play. It seems to be some odd issue with my phone. Because I can install any other JB rom and it does the same exact thing each time. I know not what is going on, and I am just going to halt trying to work with this rom for now. Hopefully in the next update things will work better for me. So I will keep with Viper4g 2.0.2. Im ok with that cause I found an OC kernel that works wonderfully, cept the screen tearing. But I have a wonderful OC at 1.8 and no hit on my battery. The screen animations don't even finish before the phone finishes booting. I'm loving the speed, so I can wait a little longer for JB. Fault of me, or the rom. It doesn't matter. I don't care. Viper loyal, it has been on my phone since Evo OG, and I will keep using Viper as long as my phones are compatible.
All I can do now. Is thank everyone who helped me, everyone who commented with insight. Thank the developers for doing all this work. I just have to wait for the next update, and try again.

Thank you all n.n

Re: [ROM] 1/31 Team Venom presents: Viper4G 3.0.1 - The most innovative Sense Rom eve

Whenever I listen to poweramp while the phone is on, the Beats status bar sometimes turns to that 'no eq chosen' setting on its own. Any suggestions to fix this?

Looking at it, it doesn't appear it would work with the AOSP lockscreen.
I can't stand the ring unlock, so I will wait until there is alternative method and/or tweak for this ROM.

Virtuous Widgets is for Sense only. Try out the custom lock screen app by Tesla Software. It resembles the AOSP styles more and runs smoothly :)

Re: [ROM] 1/31 Team Venom presents: Viper4G 3.0.1 - The most innovative Sense Rom eve

Question- Why when I uninstall the Stocks apps and reboot they come back? Do people even use those apps? To me they are Stock bloat apps.

There's plenty of unused /system space. I wouldn't worry about apps you don't use that can't be uninstalled.

Probably because you are still S-ON. I highly recommend you take the plunge, and get S-OFF at http://unlimited.io/dirtyracun.htm.

If you need assistance, /join #unlimited on irc.freenode.net - I will help you, if you need it. I am one of the helpers there.

Eh I will whenever a new update comes around. I just relocked and ran the 3.15 RUU last weekend don't have the time this weekend to do the whole process again. Didn't think being S-ON was the cause of this.





How are you uninstalling it? i use root explorer to delete the unwanted app and reboot. it works well and the app doesnt come re-appear

Thru Titanium backup.

Am I correct in thinking that:

1) lagfix4, etc. is not needed with 3.01

2) the faq is discouraging the use of any custom kernels for over-clocking at this point if that's not the case, are there any oc kernels that re recommended?

Thanks!

    My entire Beta Crew. Countless hours spent in wiping, flashing, testing, wiping running for a few days, wiping, etc...these guys worked hard as hell to get a ROM to you folks that is as bug-free as possible. Stop by some of their posts and thank them...they worked their asses off:


    • iknowsquat
    • EarlyMon
    • LiquidSolstice
    • Jm@n
    • Sparky
    • Mayfield

    Of course, the show wouldn't go on without....

    • m0narx, who is single-handedly responsible for the creation of Tweaks


    And last, but most certainly not the least.....

    • TeamVenom, For the collaborative effort that helped make this ROM what it is.

    This is a part of the HTC setup designed to help people who use the stock OTA tool to upgrade. It does not apply to those of us who fresh-flash. It is safe to disregard, and does not hinder your ability to setup the phone.
    I'm getting an RH-01 error whenever I open up the Play Store.

    This happens occasionally, and although we've spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out why, we're not sure why it happens. However, It's very easy to fix; simply go to Apps > All and find and clear data for both Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Reboot, and when you open the Play Store again, it will ask you to agree to the Terms of Service and you'll be back online.
    Why isn't my weather showing in my notification area?

    Notification weather requires that you have set up a clock widget and placed it on your homescreen at least once before toggling the weather. Once you have done that, and you have successfully toggled weather, you may remove (or keep) the widget at your discretion.
    Why do my superuser toast notifications say "Please consider going Pro!"?

    As of the most recent update of SuperSu, the developer has added this nag message. While we heartily suggest that you actually go Pro and donate (as he is responsible for SU in almost all of today's custom ROMs), you can turn this behavior off in the Settings menu for Su (scroll all the way to the bottom.
    Why is my battery life so bad?

    First off, you need to remember something. When your screen is on and you are pperforming constant I/O operations, your battery life will suffer. The most common reasons for users having bad battery life after their first day is quite simple; you just flashed the ROM, and you are excitedly going through it to see what every single tweak does. You may also be restoring apps, setting up new ones, changing the theme, changing the wallpaper, and rebooting multiple times. This is what I like to call "first flash" syndrome. As you use the ROM more and more, it will settle down. We have numerous performance tweaks in place to give you the best performance at the best compromise for battery life.


    If it's still terrible, use CPU Spy (provided) to see how long each frequency is being locked into. You can also use BetterBatteryStats to see if something is wakelocking you. Viper4G does not ship with a custom kernel, and VC offers the ability to underclock (but not over) at the moment. If you've done all that and still can't figure it out, talk to us.
    Why is my phone lagging?

    This is an extremely difficult question to answer, but please, before you post about lag, give the ROM 10-15 minutes from when it finishes booting to do so. We have several time based scripts that are designed to "clean up" and you'll want to wait for those to finish. We did the best we could to give you the best possible performance without compromising too much battery life. It's a delicate balance. If you've done that, and you've followed the same instructions in the battery post, then talk to us.
    Where are those horizontal CM-style quick-settings I used to have?

    By default, they are hidden. To activate them out of the box, press and hold on the date in the notification pulldown. To customize whether or not quick launch will appear if you press and hold twice, check the Statusbar page of VenomTweaks. While you can have both horizontal and vertical (classic) quick settings enabled, we recommend against it, as certain options conflict. For instance, if you turn on the torch with vertical quick settings, the horizontal quick settings Torch toggle will not turn it off.
    I flashed ElementalX, why am I having issues?

    With all due respect to that developer, Elemental is not a true custom kernel and therefore cannot be overclocked and underclocked by traditional methods. We recommend that you not overclock for battery and stability reasons, but if you genuinely would prefer to, we strongly advise you wait until true custom kernels with source are released. There is also some rather dim-witted rumor going out that removing cronstart you can make Elemental "work". This is not true, and will cause your phone to lag HARD after a couple hours of use. Please only take file removal and editing advice directly from the team; we put this ROM together and if we need you to remove something (which is doubtful to begin with) we will ask you ourselves. We are told that you should be able to overclock fine now, but we don't use or support Elemental. Please direct any questions concerning it to flar2.
    What is Fapple, and how can I use it in this ROM?

    Fapple is a modification made by steal25 and his development crew to eliminate HTC's "App Associations" (which had to be put in place due to an Apple patent issue). App Associations takes the place of the "Complete Action With" dialog. Although the Viper4G team is satisfied with this solution, we understand that users want the original back. To install Fapple, you must select "Custom Installation" when in AROMA while flashing. You will have an option to enable Fapple. Don't forget, OTA updates may remove Fapple; if they do, you will be notified that you must reflash Fapple. Due to the nature of Fapple, it must be customized on a per-ROM basis, so we recommend against flashing a Fapple zip directly from il Duce's thread.
    Why is the AROMA setup tinted blue? Is my device broken?

    No, your device is not broken. You are using the latest TWRP (2.4.1.0), which has issues with AROMA's colors right now. It is purely aesthetic and does not interfere with your ROM installation in any way. When Amarullz (developer) updates AROMA, we will update the ROM zip and the colors will be back to normal. It is not considered high priority, so bear with it for a bit.
    There's a new tweak in the Button settings for "Quick Flashlight". What does it do?

    It's fairly self explanatory; when the screen is off, pressing and holding the power button will instantly toggle the flashlight. Letting go of it will instantly toggle it back off. There's a caveat though; pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds or more initiates a hard reboot. This function is coded into the chip, and is not controlled by Android. It's so that you always have an escape chute if you are bootlooping, frozen, or otherwise trying to get back to recovery, since we can't pull our batteries out. The Quick flashlight function is for people who don't want their capacitive keys mapped to Flashlight but want to be able to quickly use their flashlight for really short snippets of time. If you find yourself needing to use the flashlight for longer than that, use a button remap on the Home button from lockscreen, that will be on for as long as you want it. We provide this option because we want to provide our users with choice (with the hope they are intelligent enough to understand the catches to certain tweaks).
    Where is FAPPLE for the latest build (3.1.2)?

    Fapple takes a fair amount of time to port and must be customized to each ROM that it is applied to. We're currently in the process of deciding what to do concerning Fapple. The majority of us use App Associations so it is not currently a high priority, but work/testing is always happening with the team. Rest assured, when it is ready, you will be alerted, and it will most likely be a no-wipe flashable zip, but again, no promises or ETAs from us. We wanted to give you the latest rebased ROM without waiting any further. Fapple is finished and available in the main post for 3.1.2.
    Some of the statusbar themes and fonts are giving me bootloops and force closes. What gives?

    We apologize. The database which you query for new themes is a universal database that still has remnants of ICS in it, as other Viper ROMs access it as well (such as Viper for the Evo 3D). At the current time, we are doing our best to figure out how we want to seperate these, but for now, please be careful what fonts and status bar themes you choose to download. We know it's not an ideal situation, please bear with us.

    Where did MusicBox/Beats go?

    It has been moved out of the HTC Music App and into our very own Team Venom Tweaks as a separate app.
