Viper rom?? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are we ever going to see a new viper rom come out anymore??
sent from SPH-D700 acs 1.2 shaking and baking.

I sent the Viper Team a DM on Twitter 2 weeks back...so far no response. From what I know, Tphilips (head of Team Viper) and his wife were expecting a child. Development disappeared around the release of EB13-EC05, so I suspect he's had all this time off from Development to spent time with his wife n kid. Would be nice to see em again soon tho, but great things dnt last forever D:

That sucks, I always liked the viper teams work, trinity 3.0.3 was what made me want to learn how to root, install roms, etc. I saw a you tube video for it and it was then I had to learn becasuse I was bound and determined to have it lol.

Its funny how many people wanted to root their phone from that Trinity 3.0.3 video by randyshear. I talked to tphillips on Google+ recently and he does have a child now...and a Nexus S but did say that he was going to put together another ROM for the Epic. There was no ETA of course

Lol that was the video, randyshear helped me out a lot with his videos. Thx for the good news about another viper rom even if there is no eta.

LOL; the RandyShear videos were what started me on the rooting path as well! I never tried Viper ROM, heard great things. Isn't Team Viper waiting for the official GB release before they do another ROM for the Epic?

Just to clear up a couple of things.
1. Yes its true I do not have an Epic any more I have a Nexus S 4G and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
2. I had a beautiful baby girl so I took some time off from here
3. There will be another Rom released whether it's with the "Viper" name is TBD but rest assure that it will be made by same people that made.VIPERrom in the past give or take a few.
4. Don't ask an ETA
5. Yes it will be my last ROM for the "Epic"
6. Enjoy life
Thanks

Yeah sorry about that. Photon had to go back in order to get the ET4G. The Photon was kind of a headache and I'm much more familiar with the Galaxy S. The Photon wasn't bad just unfamiliar territory for me and Sprint let me swap out.
Not as much of a learning curve for me here and I that's good cause I don't have a great deal of time
Woohoo, nice to see you working on some goodness for us!

What is the time table looking like, Rob? Do we have an ETA or are we playing it by ear for now? I'd love some better battery life and Midnight has always been a sipper so I'm hyped. =)

Acs custom rom ?

Wondering when ACS custom rom will be out. I know its already in testing and @darren said it was looking pretty good which should be obvious since ACS developers do a crazy good job but just hoping to get a little more info on the release i know no eta's are given. MY ET4g is still completely stock waiting for that rom to come out and im rooting it.
Tweet or pm an acs person
They have their own site so maybe you can search there

Could this be the silence before the storm.

i was just thinking...(other than updates) our devolpment section has been kinda quiet...and with the ics source released...that could lead to many things....plus bubby just got his phone. all these are signs that good things are on the horizon...really guys, i think we are about to see some REALLY good stuff,REALLY soon. i mean i dont have any inside info but im looking at team kang....they have been lying low...i have a hunch they have some treats for us like somethin really big...

you know that's what im thinking... but its like when exactly will we get this port. i think devs arnt gonna actively talk about how far they have progressed in the port. because they dont want to get raped about eta's and stuff.
Hopefully before new year
Keep hope alive
thats all we can do as of yet....

Big stuff.
I think superhuge things are around the bend for sure but...There's some pretty big things going on w/ melvin's beast mod rom, & mr x's synergy as well as team kang w/ juggernaut & jugs. These guys are on it no doubt, making sh*t happen. Just want to send some love in that direction.

their actually the guys that im expecting to see major things from. dont get me wrong in very thankful of their already made works but i think their about to blow us away VERY soon.
Dev section quiet? How many roms do you really need? All we are missing at the moment is aosp like cm7/cm9. I came from evo 4g which has roms out the butt and really you only needed a recent sense version and cm7. Every other rom was just clutter and clones.
We just need a TW rom, cm7 aosp rom, and in the somewhat near future cm9. Everything else would just be a clone of some sort or themed. I'm just fine with Juggernaut until aosp comes out honestly. It does exactly what I need it for
I see where you're coming from, for me though with these devs it's kind of like music or art, we don't really need 46 varieties, necessarily, but it's cool to appreciate all the creative stuff people come up with...plus, I think variety & competitveness, to some degree, speeds the progress of evolution in terms of the software sophistication etc.

Welcome to the E4GT family! Just a couple things to know 1) Stay away from ROM Manager 2) Stay away from CWM Touch or any temp recoveries 3) Be very careful when using an ICS recovery (for now atleast til all the kinks are fixed) such as Rogue Repacks. Have fun!

Rom manager great for flash if used to boot into cwm recovery when using a steady repacked kernel. Never wipe data or reset in recovery when using an ics recovery. Use calks zip to wipe. Partitions changed in ICS and you will brick your phone

A christmas wish directed to chris

chris41g that is....
I wish for 3 things this year...an as official as can be CM9 beta 2, CM10 beta 3, & a CM10.1 alpha all compiled by the fingers of mr. 41g himself.
There's just something about his releases that make his roms so much better, I can't explain, I'm not sure what it is but anytime I flash one of his builds my phone just screams for days.
I'd just like some super-duper kick ass stable roms before my break that I can enjoy at home with the kids
Anyone else with me?
Happy Holidays!
I don't know about you, and but I feel Christmas all year with our devs. He isn't even the one that's doing the releasing anymore. They work on what they want and making a "Christmas wish" for them just seems a little ignorant. I would rather them spend the holidays doing something else.
But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see it happen.

I agree whole hearted with the OP!
The E4GT is in serious need of offical rom's. Yes sure, there are plenty of beta builds, and pre builds, but unless you want to be on a clunky stock rom, you will not have an offical release.
Yes, we have great Dev's here on XDA. I know they are all hard at work trying to make offical/stable roms. For now we can only install the pre builds and help them iron out any bugs inside the rom. The more we do that, the faster a release will be offical.
BTW....FK23 is a nice build, but it is not the greatness that some seem to hype it as. It is still just another clunky stock rom, with some really nice/cool FEATURES.

Once the JB source drops I'm sure the official ball will start rolling.
chris41g is a perfectionist, he's not going to submit his code to CyanogenMod if he feels there are areas it could be fixed.

I don't think so, because ICS source dropped a long time ago and CM9 still on beta. Same will happen with CM10 and CM10.1
But what the hell who knows what could happen?
