..:ERFORMANCE BOOST::..


1. Download the file "VIPERspeed Lag Fix" from my link above and "Busybox" from the market (by stericson). VIPERspeed is an APK so you can install it directly on your phone.
2. Open "Busybox Installer" from your app drawer. At the top, select the version you want (VIPERspeed is currently running off 1.17, i'll change to 1.18 soon, but 1.18 is still compatible.) At the bottom, make sure it says "system/xbin". Then hit install. (If you open it and it says you're not rooted and this wont work, reflash the ROM. It's a problem with the ROM i'm having and i'm working on it. The ROM is pre-rooted, so if you re-flash, it should work).
3. Ok, now that you have Busybox installed, go to your settings in your menu. Select "Applications". At the top it will say "Allow non market items to be installed"... select that option. At the bottom, it will also have "debugging", go in there and select the debugging option as well. (You'll need this for when you start modding the phone anyways.)
4. Now you're ready to install the VIPERspeed application. I've included "ASTRO" in the system apps, so you can always have access to your SDcard. Select the ASTRO application, and proceed to your sdcard, to wherever you saved the "VIPERspeed.apk" and select it, and hit "open app manager" and follow the prompts to install.
5. After you install the "VIPERspeed Lag Fix" Apk, follow these directions to get everything set up.
• Scroll down and select "Install EXT2 Tools", when finished hit back.
• Scroll down and select "Restore Boot Animation", When finished, hit back.
• Scroll down and select "VIPERspeed 1.0.1" and install that. When finished it will restart automatically and you'll be set up.

Odin and SDK Instructions...

Part One...


Click Here to download Odin3 for Samsung Epic.
Click here to download the DK05 modem.bin and PIT files. (DK17 modem and pit in OP)


As for use of Odin, It's actually a lot easier than it seems. I'll give you a quick runthrough.

1. Download and extract Odin, as well as the Modem and PIT files. (You DO NOT flash the ROM through Odin, The ROM is flashed through Clockwork.)

2. Open Odin. At this point, you have to put your phone in download mode. To do so, simply hold the number 1 on the keyboard, and the power button at the same time. Once in download mode, plug the USB cable into the phone. Only plug the phone in AFTER Odin is up and running or Odin won't pick up the phone.

3. Navigate to where you downloaded the modem and pit files and place the PIT file where it says "PIT" and the modem.bin file where it says "phone".

4. On the left side there is an options box. Make sure that "reboot" is the ONLY thing that's checked.

5. Now you're ready to flash the new modem. (Remember, the modem does NOT need to be downloaded, it's just a bonus feature) Hit start and allow it to run through it's process. When finished, the block above the port that your USB is showing will turn either green or red for pass or fail. At this point I haven't heard of anyone failing.

When Odin is done doing it's thing, it will automatically reboot the phone for you. Then you're setup with the new modem!


Part Two...

Now, on to SDK.



Here are the download links with their respective systems.

Download SDK for Windows HERE
Download SDK for Mac HERE
Download SDK for Linux HERE

Instructions for installing SDK to your computer...

1. Download one of the SDK kits from the links provided above and extract it.

2. Place the folder somewhere that will be easy for you to access. I have placed my sdk folder in "my computer" so when i start the command prompt i can type "C:/sdk/tools" and it takes me directly to the sdk folder.

3. Next we're going to set a PATH for you. This is how it's done on windows, i'm not sure how to do it on the other platforms, but i'd imagine it's not that different.

4. Open the start menu and RIGHT click on "my computer" to bring up the right click menu. Then click on properties. When the box opens, on the left side there are some options listed. Click on the bottom one that says "Advanced System Settings".

5. When that box pops up, at the bottom there is an option that says "Environment Variables"... Click on that.

6. Now you will see two text fields. One on top of the other. You're going to click on "new" on the BOTTOM box. To make sure you're in the right one, it should say "system variables." Now it will ask for the name, and you can type in whatever you want. I've typed in SDK for ease.

7. It's also going to ask you for the variable value. This is where you're going to type the path to where you put your SDK kit. Mine is "C:/sdk/tools"

8. Now you have downloaded and installed SDK and created a path for it.

I hope this helps for everyone. If you need anything else, just let me know.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Yeah, just download app2sd from the market and that works... and nah, i tried testing with the terminal, it allows all the way up to one line where you call for loop0 and it says can't find the applet ...there's no problems when installing through adb shell though...

Looks great! Just have a quick Q. If we install the new modem, will that have any impact on going back to a 2.1 rom if we decide to do so? TIA

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

It shouldn't because it's just a modem.... but i can't give you a definite answer cuz i have not tested this. If anyone tests this, please post results. Not only that, but if you make a nandroid backup, you should be good to go.
