[ROM][S4][ICS] Team Venom presents: ViperOneS 1.2.1 - The most innovative Sense Rom

Venom Tweaks documentation

Tweaks for Version 1.0.0​

Introduction
The Tweaks basically enable the user to modify many aspects of the Android and Sense system. Since these are all non-generic things, meaning not authored, tested and verified by HTC, they can and will contain bugs and can and will cause issues on your device. However, we are trying to even out as many of them as possible over time. You are welcome to report any unknown problems to us. Before you report though, go through this document and check if it’s already a known thing. Then we don’t need a report. It is also a good idea to check the FAQ section before reporting.
The Tweaks consist of two Apps. One is the actual tweaking App, which is responsible for executing the tweaks and one is the Venom Hub, which serves the contents. Both are linked up. You can access the Hub from within the Tweaks App. Once you downloaded content in the HUB and pressed install, you can change to the Tweaks App and select your content there for activation.

Disclaimer
Since you read and understood the above, you are aware that these modifications will void your warranty and you are the sole responsible person for these changes. We do not accept any responsibility for damage to your device, software and/or personal data stemming from your use of the tweaks app or the HUB and content. We neither accept any claims concerning damage to your private life in consequence of excessive Viper Contact. This is defined as addiction and needs a psychiatrist. We also do not pay lawyers for Divorce Cases resulting from Wife Neglection.

Document Logic:
The Tweaks App has a title bar at the top, its functions in the middle and a Tab-Bar at the bottom.
The title bar has a caption reading the current ROM Name and Version at the left hand side and a square button at the right side. This button is essential. It shows a white circle which is grayed out if you can enable a tweak without a reboot and it turns white as soon as a reboot is required. Watch this button. If you see that you need to do a reboot, it is important to do it right away (before enabling more tweaks) to ensure correct execution of the Tweak. If you don’t, you might find that some tweaks did not apply and you will have to repeat it.
The middle section is white with several compartments separated by Headlines, containing various tweak functions or links to a subpage. A subpage can be another full menu with functions and/or links to a sub-subpage. It can also be a List or a Pop-Up.

The Tab-Bar has 7 Tabs.
We will now go through the seven Tabs sequentially, starting at the most left. For each Tab, the subpages will be titled as they are in the App and follow the main page description.
I now decided to leave the document without screenshots as those would just make the post very massive and up till now there had only been a few people not understanding the tweaks. Please feel free to ask if you do not understand something.
I will use numbering from 1 to 7 for the tabs, letters from a-z for the Tweak Items and letters from a-z for the subpages. So a Tab is 1, a Tweak Item is 1.a, a subpage to that Tweak Item is 1.a.a.


Shows links to the main developers and their Profiles, also their donate link.
Shows a link to various Social Sites to stay up to date with Venom.
Shows a link to the “Profiles” Function at the Bottom.
--> Profiles can be saved after you have set up your Venom ROM and can be used to later restore all your tweaks automatically if you happen to reflash your ROM.
--> The Profile will be saved as “1.xml” (for first Profile) to the folder \sdcard\Venom\Profiles

You can apply all of them at once by just clicking the reboot-circle at the top right or you can pick single icons only by tapping on any of the icons and then selecting the respective pack on the appearing sub-subpage. These Sub-Subpages will not be numbered as there count differs, depending on how many icons there are in the pack. There basically is one sub-subpage for each icon.
Hint: select the Pack which contains most icons you want to use with the “Theme Pack” link, then pick the single ones you want to have with other icons. If you do it vice-versa, it’s more work

2.f.f. Item: “Static battery color” – is a color picker

2.m.a. Item: “Run Custom App”
--> Enables a custom app to be launched when you click on the carrier label in the Pull-Down menu.

Headline: First Line

2.m.b. Item: "Notification bar caption"
--> Opens a text-input Box, lets you define your own caption for Notification Bar. The Caption usually displays the operator name and will then display your own text.

2.m.c. Item: “Show Carrier Icon”
--> Picking this links you to your picture hub where you can pick a custom carrier logo picture or whatever you like. Size: 100x100.
Hint: this is better done via the Venom HUB app! Goto: Operator Logos there and tap the one you want and it installs directly.

Headline: Second Line

--> Let’s you switch between default Sense and Android 4.0 Recent Apps manager.


Headline: “Home screen”

3a. Item: “Smooth Rosie Tweaks”
--> Opens a Pop-Up where you can choose between normal, super and ultra smooth Rosie. Super flattens all 3D effects out of all widgets when scrolling, except the one you start scrolling with, Ultrasmooth also flattens the one you started scrolling with. This tends to make the Home Screen Experience better and less lagged.

3.b. Item: “Show unlock animation”

3.c. Item: “Enable Landscape”
--> Makes the Homescreen show in Landscape.

3.d. Item: “Infinite Scrolling”
--> Makes the scroll go beyond the last Home Screen Panel and start again with the first. Unfortunately this is laggy and doesn’t work right. We left it in the Tweaks on User Request. This is no good tweak at this time.

3.d. Item: “Transparent Navigation bar”
--> This makes the Nav bar transparent and only lets the Icons be visible. Works both in landscape and Portrait.

3.e. Item: “Scrolling Wallpaper”
--> Originally meant to enable the scroll of the wallpaper on the home screen, but its now an included feature in Sense 4.1 and not needed anymore. It will be taken out in a future version.

Headline: App-Drawer

--> Tightens the Icons in the App-Drawer so you have more on one page, less pages.

3.h. Item: “Background Color”
--> Lets you pick a different background color for the App-Drawer with a color-picker.

3.i. Item: “Use background Image”
--> Lets you pick a 720x1280 Picture as background if you prefer that over a mono-color.

Headline: HTC Clock Widget

3j. Item: “Clock”
--> Pick any app to start when you touch the clock.

3k. Item: “Weather”
--> Pick any app to start when touching the Weather.

3.l. Item: “Transparent Clock”
--> Makes the bigger Clock Background transparent, from the small bar clock also when in landscape.


Headline: AOSP Options

4.a. Item: “AOSP Lockscreen”
--> Exchanges the Sense Lockscreen for the AOSP Version.

4.b. Item: “AOSP Incoming Call”

4.d. Item: “Carrier Caption”

6.a. Item: “Phone Info”
--> Brings up a native HTC Phone Info screen with options you can set. These are not documented here and partially dangerous. Please do not use them unless you know exactly what you do. Some of the functions write into the Radio Settings and cannot be undone without flashing the Radio. Since this is difficult or even impossible on the One S, one should refrain from using this without expert knowledge.

Headline: Different Tweaks

6.b. Item: “Enable Cube animation”
--> Gives you a Cube-like animation on HTC Sense Tab Bar. When sliding fingers from one tab to next, the Window will spin like a Cube.

--> Here you can set the Color, which lightens up if you over scroll any list at the borders of the list or screen.

--> Opens a Pop-Up with multiple sliders to fine-tune brightness settings. Experiment with it.

6.k. Item: “Hide Arrows”

Headline: Tweaks Developer

7.a. Item: “Minfree settings”
--> Pops up a window with sliders to adjust the Kill levels for different app types. How to set--> Purely experimental. Check the Web for guides on how to play with it. The default setting is pretty good on average, only change if you encounter problems with multitasking and such. You can also mess up your Android a fair bit here. So be careful.

Headline: Fixing/Optimizing

7.b. Item: “Fix Permissions”
--> Runs a command that corrects all file permissions in Android. Can also cause trouble but usually it helps with issues.

7.c. Item: “Zipalign all APK’S”
--> Runs the “zipalign” process on all user apk’s. This can be handy as not all App Devs do a zipalign and that makes the APK behave bad on memory. Zipaligning them can make them run better in memory.

Headline: System

7.d. Item: “Mount Sytem r/w”
--> Mounts the System with Read and Write permissions for file browsers. This can potentially be dangerous because malware could abuse that but on the other hand, its helpful too if you like messing with your system and malware could also execute this command anyway, since you already run the device as root user.

7.e. Item: “Disable Logcat”
--> disables the logcat of the system. Makes it a little faster and use a wee bit less juice but you won’t be able to provide your Dev with a LogCat if you have problems. These logs are incredibly helpful for debugging. So just try it out if it betters anything for you.

Headline: Wipe

7.f. Item: “Wipe Cache”
--> As the name suggests, this wipes the cache partition. Saves you a reboot into recovery.

7.g. Item: “Wipe Dalvik Cache”
--> See above!

Headline: Fonts

7.h. Item: “Use Custom Font”
--> Lets you pick a custom font pack, also downloadable via the hub for example.

Headline: Boot

7.i. Item: “Custom boot animation”
--> Lets you pick a custom bootanimation. Those can also be obtained via the Hub for example.

7.j. Item: “Custom Down Animation”
--> Same as above for down animation.

7.k. Item: “Disable Boot sound”
--> If you haven’t done that already while installing (in Aroma Installer) you can now disable boot sound here.

This concludes the tweaks. Be sure to let me know wrong or missing descriptions. I did never use all tweaks and since the Dev team had been incredibly busy and could not answer every question I asked, some items descriptions are mere guesses and might not be fully correct. My sincere apologies
We don't want to misguide and confuse our users here, do we?
