I have flashed many roms including this and have never wiped system. Going from one version of a rom to next, cache and dalvik cache. Going to an entirely new rom wipe those two plus data. Just my experience. If your not experiencing any problems, I wouldn't start over.
Yes Sir,I did do a full wipe/factory data reset,wiped cache partition as well as the dalvik cache.
That's because most, if not all, ROMs wipe system for you.
Sorry guys, been very busy the past few days. I hope to work on LoS Checker, viperROM for EVO 3D, and viperROM for the E4GT this weekend. I have Saturday off so I plan to get alot done

No sorrys allowed!
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to it.
sorry for the delay in response but your welcome
No excuse... Respond on time.

I might be missing something so I could use a little help. Where is Terminal Emulator? It isn't listed in my apps. I'm coming from a fresh wipe. I installed v2, then installed v2.1 over it, and then finally v2.2 over v2.1. Everything seems to be working great but I can't find Terminal Emulator anywhere.
edit: nevermind, I'm dumb. Didn't even bother to think to download it from the market zzz

Very strange today, powering up phone, it is stuck on the wiperRom loading screen, Volume buttons are working, able to power off...but then loops right back into it...no other buttons are working...any ideas?
I'm running 2.2 with the latest Lost Exp. Kernel...
When I call my phone, the phone is ringing in my ear...but not from my device- tried main number & google number...very strange.... *sighs*

Ok guys, I've had a ton of work to do the last few days so I have been slacking pretty hard haha sorry about this! I am going to do some work on the HTC EVO 3D for a little bit and then come back to this but lemme answer some questions quick...
Glad you like it, sorry for the confusion of the downloads!
I don't intend to build it in until it's completely stable, I have some more work to do with that once I finish the EVO 3D ROM and work on the next version of the E4GT ROM too.
What was the custom dialer? Can you explain a little bit?
Got a logcat for me? Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling or even clearing cache and data on that app? Does it work on other ROMs?
Doesn't happen to me. Is this still happening to you? Did you do a full sipe before flashing the ROM?
I take for granted that I figured everyone would know what to do. I will revise the OP soon. Thanks for the suggestion!
Never have that problem, I ALWAYS send pics via email. Still having this issue?
It's also in /sdcard/viperROM/apps too
Try going into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik and reflashing the kernel.

Viper ...
Any chance of appling a custom dialer to your rom?sorry if this isnt the correct thread to ask this question,but i flashed the AEMod rom before I flashed yours and in comparison viper 2.2 is far superior imo of course,but the dialer on the AEMod rom was pretty sweet,only thing i miss infact.Id like to see a custom dialer for your rom as i doubt Ill be flashing any other roms ......at least until a updated version of your rom is available.

So far I have to reboot twice because of the lost connection (church basement). I'm running 2.2 the latest Lostexp. everything else PERFECT.

Question for Viper
Hello Viper,
Would it be possible to change the brightness value in the framework?
There's a guide made for ATT version and Does work for other variant (Reading post here @XDA) in your next release?
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297920
Also, what are the benefit/adverse effect in changing voltage. I manage to undervoltage to -100. 1200(1175) 1000(1075) 800(975) 500(875) 200(850). I don't see change in performance (visually, but i'm sure benchmark will tell) but major change in battery drain.
Wakeup: 1200-200 conservative and overclock GPU, It was draining around 175mA - 470mA @heavy use. and at around 175mA - 230mA just playing words with friends, facebook, youtube, light use.
my goal is to get the most battery in one charge without having FC issue, unresponsivness or unstability issue.
Thanks Viper.

I don't want to do the brightness change because many have said it's too dim. Maybe I can make a .zip for the ROM as an add-on, but it won't be in the ROM stock.
That's cool. I'll just grab my framework and change it. Gonna venture in Linux, VMware here I come. ^^ Thanks Viper.

88Hello everyone, finally got my E4GT and got a ROM put together for everyone. If anyone followed my work on the EVO 3D, I like to build for the community and user input is very important to me so please leave feedback so we can all make this ROM better!
v.2 is an entire ROM because the apps have been optimized. I would recommend a FULL wipe (you must atleast wipe /cache, /system, and dalvik!) but you may be able to get away with not wiping /data. I wouldn't recommend it and I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ISSUES if you haven't wiped everything first!

It has been asked to make it easier to donate for people using Tapatalk, so here it is...
http://bit.ly/n7sB9g
You are not required to donate, however, any donation is greatly apprecaited and will help me pay for school and this shiny new phone Thanks to anyone who has already donated, I'm very grateful!32FAQ
Q: What makes this ROM different than all the other ROMs?
A:- First and foremost, you will get the best support from the me, -viperboy-. I personally reply to almost every post and I'm always in my thread trying to help out. If you have to wait more than an hour or so for your question to be answered, that is unusual!
- The inclusion of the OC Daemon for unprecedented battery life and performance
- The custom viperControl script that handles the OC daemon, voltage control, removed app management and more!
- A highly tuned system for incredible smoothness
Q: Do I really need to wipe coming from another version of viperROM?
A: I always recommend that and that is how I test my ROMs. You may be not have any issues if you don't wipe, but you might.
Q: What is battery calibration and should I do it?
A: Yes!! If you aren't getting wonderful battery life or you think you can do better, do it! Here is the method I have used on all of my devices and it has always done well for me: Charge the phone to 100%, wipe battery stats (from recovery, or Battery Monitor Widget can do it [Menu > Statistics]), let the phone die and then fully charge. Your next charge cycle will be much better!
What some people don't understand is that you're not calibrating the battery as you are calibrating the phone. When you wipe and do this procedure, the phone reads where the max and min voltages of the battery are so it can report battery stats accurately.
---------------------- Special Features of viperROM ----------------------
viperControl Script
Currently with this script, you can:
- Adjust the OC Daemon (See below)
- Adjust voltages (See below)
- Manage removed apps
- Fix permissions (when apps keep FCing)
- Edit some features of the build.prop
- Manage the hosts file
To access viperControl:
- Open up Terminal Emulator
- Type "su" (without the quotes and grant it Superuser access if you haven't already)
- Type "vc" (without the quotes)
OC Daemon
The OC daemon was created by rmk40 of Team Unity. I take no credit for the daemon, only the script I made to make it easier to work with. More information can be found here, but I will sum it up and explain the script below...
This daemon, written in C, completely eliminates the need for SetCPU and other CPU controlling apps. The daemon handles min/max frequencies for both screen on and screen off but it has one more trick up its sleeve... It can change the governor INSTANTLY depending on the screen state. I have tested it and I can tell you that it really does work instantly and I think this is going to be a great battery saver! I have set default values within the ROM as follows: Screen Off - conservative @ 192min/486max and Screen On - ondemand @ 192min/1188max. Using these settings, I get NO lag. Battery life is amazing, over 19+ hours for me with moderate usage!
If you decide that you want to change the settings of the daemon, here is how you do so...
- Open up Terminal Emulator
- Type "su" (without the quotes and grant it Superuser access if you haven't already)
- Type "vc" (without the quotes)
- Enter "1" (without the quotes) and you will see all of your options
All the settings can be edited from there. If you want to verify that this is working, you can run these commands from adb shell:
Current CPU frequency
Code:cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
Current CPU governor
Code:cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Current min CPU Freq (you will see this change when the screen state changes)
Code:cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Current max CPU Freq (you will see this change when the screen state changes)
Code:cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
The script is pretty good for now and I will eventually incorporate it into a large script exclusive to my ROM. However, here are a few things that you need to know about the script...
- The phone will boot up and detect if you're using SetCPU or other CPU apps. If you are, the daemon will be DISABLED automatically. If you aren't, the daemon will be enabled.
- I would recommend against using SetCPU or other apps as they take up memory and the script can do pretty much everything SetCPU can, even voltages. (And damn, did that take a while to code for the Samsung kernels!)
viperMOD
You can use viperControl to adjust voltages now that I have put a special copy of the viperMOD script into vC. Please see the website in my sig for some more information, but it's pretty easy to use. The voltages on the included kernel are pretty good as they are, so you may not be able to lower by much. I just rewrote this entire code for the Samsung kernels and it worked great for me, just lemme know if you have any issues.17MODS- Stock Font
- Stock Framework [updated 10.29, now working!] (removes CRT, viperROM logo in status bar, 1x icons, and and battery percentage)
8It took a little longer than I thought, but the update is done! Please see changes in OP! I really need some feedback on battery life guys because I won't launch v3 until I see how it's going for people. Enjoy!5I'm gonna try to get an update out tonight for you guys once I'm done unwinding from school
