ViperDNA ROM Discussion & Support Thread
Due to the popularity of the ViperDNA rom, and wanting to better assist the users, we are opening this thread to allow for non development related questions and discussion, support questions, advice, help and how to, all that good stuff.
I am not the developer of ViperDNA, I'm simply maintaining this thread so that the main developer is not overwhelmed with too much general discussion and not able to focus on the development aspect of the rom. Many of you know me, my niche has been and will continue to be trouble shooting, support, and helping new users get started in the custom world of Android.
In the thread, you can post questions about installations, discussions of potential bugs as well as user errors, and general Q&A related to the ViperDNA ROM. I will be updating this OP to look much better, and will also be adding sections and subsections with important links.
I urge all of our users to participate and help out with this thread, this is a community effort not just me alone.
ViperDNA 1.2.0 Info
ROM NEEDS A CLEAN INSTALL
Instructions for Clean Install.
Note S On users will want a copy of rom zip on their computer desktop and a copy on the DNA's sdcard, s off only needs the rom zip file on the sdcard
1. Make a Nandroid backup just in case
2. Reboot to Recovery
3. Wipe these INSIDE recovery: Factory Reset, System, Dalvic cache
4. Choose the flash zip menu and select zip file from the sdcard and install the rom
5. S-Off users say yes to the reboot after installation is complete.
*5b. S-On Users will need to extract the rom zip file in a desktop folder and find the file boot.img and copy to their working adb/fastboot folder (For me it would be C:/Android-sdk/Platform-tools)
*5c. Right click while holding shift, in a blank space in the folders where fastboot.exe is located and choose "open command window here" from the right click menu
Run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes and press enter when its done type "fastboot reboot" without quotes and press enter.
That's It, Setup is Complete
Note: Factory Reset in recovery means wiping the data partition except for media (internal storage, or sdcard) and wiping cache.
Radio and Firmware Information: You do not have to be on the latest firmware (2.04) to flash Viper 1.2.0. I recommend that you achieve s off and try the 2.0.4 radios if battery life is a concern especially because one will work better for your unique phone's hardware and network, signal strength and usage pattern.
Kernel: ONLY RUN THE KERNEL THAT'S INSTALLED IN THE ROM. Zone also has a stock 2.04 kernel posted in the android development section.
Do NOT run custom kernels with this rom until custom 2.04 kernels available, which will be after HTC releases the kernel source.
1.2.0 Important Tips
For instant help you can use the IRC Channel: http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=#droid-dna
Just click on Docnok63 and select PM
For Google maps to work you need to open settings/location and check to enable the new Google location settings. There's now four options instead of three.

Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion
I have two questions. How can I add more apps on the home screans. And is there anyway to change up the app drawer. I prefer scrolling vertically rather then horizontal. Everything is running perfectly just looking to tweak things a little.
Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion
I'm not sure if this is the rom or the app but when I plug in my otg usb into my phone SwiftKey constantly shows crash error reports... I'm not sure if you guys have seen this before or not... It does not effect moving files or anything it is just weird...

Im having the same problem and after some research it looks like people are having the same issues on stock and custom roms.
I'm using stickmount pro. What I've found is that after unmounting or removing the device a reboot is required because my apps go haywire. The only time I've seen similar issues is when people use something like apps2sd and their phone boots before the sdcard is mounted, so the shortcuts on the homescreen or widgets disappear and the app force closes all over the place and disappears from the app drawer.
Obviously the problem with us is not because the apps are installed on an external directory, but the symptoms are very similar.
I will be doing more research and its going to be a focus of mine. I'll keep you guys and gals updated and would love to hear any input or see links that you run across involving DNA and OTG.
Something else with OTG is that when I unmount the USB drive in stickmount, and then I unplug the drive, I get the warning message about the drive being removed while in use or something like that. So its almost like stickmount isn't unmounting, it just thinks its unmounting, and that improper unmounting is what sends the directories haywire.

I get an error on connecting otg about not being a valid charging source. On disconnect, several processes crash, which trace to specific apps, including Battery Monitor Widget Pro, Pure Messenger and Gmail Label Notifier. If I disable those apps, then no crash, so I'm pretty sure this is not ROM related.

Used the search in the other thread but didn't quite find the answer I was looking for.
Do I start with 1.1.0 and then use the OTA to update to 1.1.3? Should I just wait till 1.2 comes out and then flash, if it makes any difference?

You really don't have to worry about it. Worse thing that would happen is that it auto downloads, it can't install on a custom recovery. And 1.1.3 has the ota removed so you don't even have to worry about it installing.

Ok, before you tell me to search, I have. For two days. I have looked at everything from forums to youtube videos on how to root the droid eris. The thing I am trying to do the unrevoked method. The thing I can't get past is in the begining. I go to the hboot screen by pressing volume down and power. I plug in my usb cable and nothing happens. I think I'm supposed to see it say hboot usb plug. It doesn't. I go to devise manager just to check and it doesn't show my phone. So I'm sure you can see my frustration not even being able to get past the first step. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Matt
Got it fixed using the 1 click root from the market. Then added XTR Sense rom. Works great.
Congrats and welcome to a whole new Eris!
Yes, congratulations, and furthermore, excellent choice of a "replacement" ROM, I just recently went back to xtrSENSE after perhaps four months playing with Froyo.
FYI, I suspect the issue was you might've needed the Windows drivers for the phone loaded before using the unREVOKED method, but it's just a guess.
Install HTCSync (available from HTC's website) for the Droid Eris and that'll install the correct drivers, which will take a moment to load the first time you plug your phone in via USB next time. Also, give it a moment to load those drivers before doing anything like mounting the SD card to the computer via USB.
I just rooted mine back in December and the 1 click was the one that made the most sense for me, i didnt even kno bout the unrevolked til after i was rooted....but im loving the cm7 gingerbread roms, for being such early versions there really stable

You were probably afraid that you'd let the smoke out.
I'm about to take the plunge myself. I use the Trackmaster app for recording lap times. From my research, Sense does not support the SPP (Serial Port Protocol) bluetooth profile. But, I understand that a non-sense (AOSP) ROM will have the entire bluetooth stack intact.
I've been following the tazz and shed GB threads with much admiration. It's just amazing what some folks will do for coffee money. And guys, I wish you all the best with your personal struggles!
My plan is to root this week. Make sure the phone remains stable. Practice that Up-Volume & Power Button thing a few times to make sure I can follow the flash procedure. Then grab GB next week.
I've read the rooting for dummies thread, and will use the one-click root app from the market. Free one first. Then if all is well I'll download the pay one.
Successful GB load will get a meal, and after I confirm my bluetooth GPS unit works with Trackmaster, coffee money will follow.
As you may be able to tell from the above sentence fragments (or maybe the straight forward I don't give a sh.t if I violate any social protocol plan) I'm a former Engineer (retired), so constructive advice / criticism is greatly appreciated. And I got the time to double-check everything.

Many people with less analytical skills than you have rooted, and it sounds like you've done your homework, so it should be a snap for you. The only thing I will add is to re-emphasize what you proabably have already read - that you should:
- check the file integrity of all file downloads (using MD5 sigs or "jar verify" principles for ROM files, e.g. use 'scary alien's" AFV (Androd File Verifier) free market app)
- charge the phone well before any flashing operations (and don't let it sit in HBOOT or Fastboot modes for extended period of time - it discharges rapidly, even if plugged in)
- make a Nandroid backup of your existing ROM. If things don't work out with the BT issues, you can always go back to where you were, little worse for the wear.
cheers and good luck
Thanks - didn't have the MD5 crypto check in the plan, but it is now.
I just can't believe how good the work being done here is. I used to contract for much poorer work for much more money! This just proves that passion beats bucks every time!
p.s. I pushed that Thanks button for you, but damned if I can tell if it worked
p.p.s Got the Thanks thing - I see it now.

One thing to add: the Gingerbread ROMs require you to download and flash a google apps .zip file before you restart the phone, unlike many other ROMs that include Google apps as part of the ROM. So, that is one more file that you need to check an MD5 hash, and the procedure will be something like this:
- download and verify the GSB/Tazz and Google apps zip files
- copy them to the root directory of the SD card, and check the MD5s there as well
- root the phone
- restart it to get the root process to install custom recovery
- restart in Recovery
- Nandroid backup what you have
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe Dalvik cache
- Flash GSB (or Tazz, whichever one you choose)
- Flash Google apps
- restart the phone

Interesting doogald. I understood that root should be done first before any downloading. Thanks for the above instructions! I had things a little out of order. Would you mind clarifying when the SD card format should be done? I was going to:
- root the phone
- format SD
- copy ROM and gapps
- MD5 check
- restart ... and follow your order above.

Honestly, I think that the SD card format is unnecessary. Unless I am mistaken, it was suggested in part to rule out issues people might be having moving from rooted Froyo to Gingerbread, to erase the SD card's /.android_secure hidden folder - where apps that are moved to SD Card in Froyo are stored. That will not be an issue for you if you are stock Eris.
However, it won't hurt to do it, and that would be the step that it should be done.
Thanks again. Its nice to get confirmation.
Ignorant question - The one-click root app says to "reboot" the eris. How do you reboot the eris?
I searched forum - read the whole one-click app thread - googled "reboot eris" and got nothing.
NEVERMIND!!! I turned the phone off, vol - & power, select recovery with vol +, then select reboot.
And I got a Superuser Permission... widget now.

FYI rebooting the phone at it's simplest is just telling the phone to shut down the Android OS and then boot it back up. This doesn't have to involve actually shutting the power off to the phone but it can if you so choose. Also, some ROMs and/or through some apps/widgets, you can explicitly command your phone to "reboot" from within the Android interface. I just didn't want you to think that any time a "reboot" is needed, that you have to boot into recovery and choose the "reboot" option from there.
It's just like a reboot on a computer. Actually powering the computer off isn't really necessary to affect a reboot.
Welcome to root and XDA!
Thanks!
I saw a lot of references to Titanium Backup so I DLed the free version. Its happy now after I enabled USB Debugging and download from Unknown sources. So now that I have double checked I Know I got root now.
Oh, and since I confirmed root I uninstalled the one-click root app and made a donation to the San Antonio Food Bank.
Welcome to the dark side ! At least we have coffee and cookies here !!! LOL
Seriously though, so what ROM did you end up choosing ? Any time someone new to the forums finally roots and flashes a ROM we like to see how things are going and see that your process was successful !

Awesome!!!
Now I gotta finish up downloading my apps and getting things set up. This is totally cool.
I did:

- copy goodies from PC
- wipe data
- wipe dalvik
- flash GSB
- flash gapps
- flash c2c
- reboot

There are two Skype apps for Android: a "special" one for VZW that does not work with WiFi (at least on the Eris it does not), and a real version that does work over WiFi. The VZW version will use Verizon minutes to make calls to phone numbers but 3G for Skype to Skype (and international calls.) I think that the real Skype app uses 3G or WiFi for everything, but 'm not sure.

CONTRADUDE PRESENTS
CleverNameHere Rom Release 1
This rom is discontinued as I have moved on to the Nexus 7. God Bless, everyone!
This ROM is based off of the Evo View 4G's 2nd OTA (security update) and was created with DSIXDA's rom kitchen. Special thanks to pardonmyfreedom for figuring out the view's mount points.

Rooted
Busybox
Deodexed
Zipaligned on boot

Hardware Accelerated UI
Dalvik heap increased
Filesystem Tweaks
SD card speed tweak
Juwe11's ram optimization script
New Market
Removed most of the bloatware (including teeter, which i'd forgotten before), and left blockbuster, qik, polaris office and sprint nav in data/app so that it can be easily removed if you prefer to do so

Green Overscroll
Please help me test this rom for a couple of days while I'm continuing to add features as well as offer suggestions for improvements. I already have a few in mind as well, just need to continue working through them. I'm also looking for anyone who has theming experience since I'm an IT guy and not a graphics designer ;-)

Pre-Installation Instructions
Make sure your HTC Evo View 4G is S-off and has a recovery installed, the best way to do that is to follow this guide by Globatron. You also need to have an SD Card in your view in order to be able to flash things through Clockwork Mod.
Installation Instructions
The betas of this ROM will wipe data, so I recommend backing up important information in MyBackup Root and Titanium Backup. The Full Releases (RLS 1, RLS 2, etc.) and Release Candidates (RC1, Etc.) will not wipe data, but if you're coming from stock or just want to make sure your devices is clean, do a factory reset from within clockworkmod recovery between steps 3 and 4 of the guide below.
Copy the Rom .zip file to the base of your SD Card, not the internal storage of your View
Boot into your tablet's bootloader by holding volume down & power while unit is powered off
select recovery by using the volume arrows and hit power to select
you should now be looking at a black screen with blue text, if not make sure you followed the S-off guide. using the volume keys to navigate and power button to select, select install zip from sd card using power
select choose zip from sdcard
select the clevernamehere .zip file on your sdcard
navigate down to the option that says 'Yes - Install clevernamehere*.zip' where * is the name of the version of the rom (eg. beta1)
Rom will now install and run it's course. The script will be more verbose then it is now by the final version
select the +++++Go Back+++++ option
now select reboot system now and the view will reboot. this will take a while, just like it did when you took it out of the box.
Rom is now installed and working! let me know if you find any bugs or have feature requests.
Removing all user data before installing a new rom (Factory Data Reset)
Boot into your tablet's bootloader by holding volume down & power while unit is powered off
select recovery by using the volume arrows and hit power to select
you should now be looking at a black screen with blue text, if not make sure you followed the S-off guide. using the volume keys to navigate and power button to select, select wipe data/factory reset.
navigate down to the option that says 'Yes -- delete all user data' and select it. This will wipe ALL of your data and the data will be unrecoverable after this unless you have backed it up using Titanium Backup and Mybackup Root.
device will now wipe itself and take you back to the main clockworkmod menu. continue on from step 4 of the above guide to flash the rom if you already have the .zip on your device.
Uninstallation Instructions (going back to stock)
Download the shipped rom RUU from here. This was posted by Football on the Flyer Shipped ROMs list here
with your tablet powered on, plugged into your computer via USB, run the RUU. It will take over after you confirm you want to 'update' and format you back to almost completely stock (I was still s-off but I had lost root of course)
go ahead and update your tablet back to the latest OTA (the first OTA) using software update on your tablet.
now go to this thread by attn1 about getting clockworkmod back as well as root. don't forget the view is named the express and DO NOT download anything from this link that has flyer in the name
you are now ready to flash another rom or reflash mine
im giving this a try ill report back....
Thanks! Let me know what you think. I have a few ideas for speed improvements and I will for sure have a more descriptive flashing script

Can you turn 4g service on automatically
is this going to be a sense or senseless rom or both?

Removing sense is always a large undertaking. I'll tackle that at a later time, so sense for now. Beta 2 is going to remove as much as possible and put it into a zip for the few users who might actually want it. I'll look into having 4g autostart as an option. Thanks for the name suggestion.

Beta 2 is now uploaded. I have been working on theming and it is quite a bit harder on sense based roms than it is on touchwiz. I'll also upload the removed apks as a zip file tomorrow.
Since there are currently only 2 roms specific to the View I thought I would give yours a try as well as the XPRS rom. I really dig that boot screen. So far everything seems to be smooth without any issues. I am running it with the ADW Ex launcher and all of my primary apps work well including netflix..

I'd actually love some help skinning once I hit feature complete right before the RC. I'm headed there pretty quick, just have a few tweaks that i'd like to get implemented first

Aye c-dude any chance of a change log for those of us wondering? Thanks for the ROM. We need more View chefs and your contribution is DEFINETLY appreciated!!!
Why the hate for stock?
Do you have a completely stock updated rooted ver? What base are you using?
Edit: This was not meant to as disrespect to you. Thanks for all the hard work. The talented devs are the only reason we have this community today.
ContraDude thanks for all the hard work on this rom as its really the only rom we have on the view that is currently being worked on, once they have the kernel source released I know some devs who are willing to make some kernels for our tab. However, one request that I have which you may be able to figure out, as I could not, is how to get the android market to install apps it says arent compatible. I originally thought that changing the fingerprint would fix the issue however I have changed the fingerprint to several different devices and currently have the fingerprint showing the tab as an EVO 3d to the android market. Unfortunately this still doesnt get apps like facebook, go sms, or other apps to show up. I have attached a screenshot that shows my tab showing up as an evo3d. Also I believe that it may have something to do with other lines in the build.prop that show that the device is not a phone, not sure where those are. However I did completely take out an reference of the model number, product, and brand to mirror those from the build.prop of my evo 3d, so I changed more than just the fingerprint and it still doesn't work.

No one is willing to do their own dirty work anymore. What happened to if you don't want it uninstall it now that you have root. Do you have a completely stock rooted updated ver? I cannot find a 2.3.4 stock rooted rom for my wife's view.I saw you removed teeter which my kids love, kept in blockbuster, polaris, and telenav(no good without premium gps fee) which I don't use. I cannot take any Ota's without causing problems so I am still 2.3.3. But every rom maker out there is all about remove this and remove that. I for one have no problem removing stuff I don't use, and on the other hand do use some of the bloat apps everyone is so "remove happy" over. Sorry for the rant but it used to be the user removed what they didn't want. I thought that is what root was for. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for being a sterling example of everything that's wrong with XDA. You complain that people don't do their own work, then complain when you have to do your own work?
If you wanted a rooted stock rom, why are your looking at custom rom's? Run the s-off tool then flash the zip that gives you root. At that point you have a rooted stock rom.

Thanks for being an example of the majority of XDA users, quick to flame and not help. Yes the rant could have been left out but that was my opinion on removing apps. No one can say what the next guy will or will not use, just pointing out somewhere it was agreed that stock apps were bad. I learned with the 3d that some bloat apps are system and will not install correctly with the normal installation of apk's(reader being one of them). I can put these back into system myself as I have done it many times already. No disrespect was aimed at anybody but it seems you are ready to fire back at a moments notice.

Custom roms can still be custom without removing stuff. It's the added tweaks that make them custom. And I am currently Stock rooted.

I haven't tried this for the Photon yet, but disabling boot animation on the Touchpad simply gets rid of the unicorn animation and replaces it with a more generic boot animation.
Better if you don't want your homophobe buddies to see =P.
Just download the droid razr boot animation zip and replace in /system/media. Or use one of my cm9 ones .

I found a few things that aren't working right. the Performance option FC's Rom Control every time when you try to open it, not sure what all options are in there.
The boot tweaks does open and items are selectable however after you leave that screen the settings revert, there is no way to save settings.
And finally I was not able to find where I could change my default storage settings between internal sd and external sd.

performance is a known bug check op.. but what it does can be accomplished with most over clocking apps from the market..
the boot tweaks I will look into I'm going to try to see for myself if it works... if not I think I know already what to do.....
the storage is cm9 this is aokp so the options wont be exactly the same... however it can be edited.... but I have limited time to do these things so the storage pretty much will be set to default until I can get it done..... sorry

Considering you were unable to find it and it's the settings menu in CM, I think the question has been answered. It not working would imply you found a setting, tested it and it didn't function.
OP UPDATED to sync with jokers latest cm9 .60...enjoy follks
You guys are relentless; ROM updates are pouring in!
Thanks!

Sent from my MB855 using XDA
YOU WILL NEED:
The B2G nandroid
Siyah JB
The b2g_i777_keyfix.zip file attached below (created/modded by myself)
1. Hook up your i777 to your PC and put it into USB storage mode (if it doesn't do that automatically)
2. un-7zip the B2G nandroid and place the b2g-0602 folder in the /clockworkmod/backup/ folder on your external SD (create the backup folder if necessary)
3. Place the two zips at the root of your SD card for easiness later on
4. Boot to CWM and install the Siyah Kernel JB zip
5. Reboot recovery
6. Follow the steps in the thread with the B2G nandroid download, although they may not work for you.
6(a). If those steps do not work, attempt to clone your current ROM to the second ROM under dual booting options OR create a nandroid backup of your current ROM (so you can easily go back to it)
6(b). After that, restore nandroid b2g-0602 from backup (this will wipe the first ROM so be careful)
7. Reboot recovery
8. flash b2g_i777_keyfix.zip to make the volume rocker work as the home key (as the capacitive keys do not work as is)
Q&A
HOW WILL I CHANGE MY VOLUME LEVELS?
You can change your volume levels from settings
IS THIS NICE AND PERFECT?
Nope, not at all. If anything this is a step down from Android currently. The DPI is screwed up, navigation is odd because of inability to use capacitive keys, lack of Google sync, and this overall isn't a daily driver.
SO WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE THIS?
I don't know? Why don't you tell me?
WHAT DOESN'T WORK?
Everything that is listed as not working in the i9100 thread, calls probably don't work, camera doesn't work, and probably many other things
WHAT DOES WORK?
SMS for sure works, WIFI works, data might work
SPECIAL THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS WORKED ON PORTING THIS OPERATING SYSTEM TO THE I9100!
Why not reserve a post for stuff and things.
Screenshots can be found here!
Please read this! I would not recommend flashing anything not meant for our device in heimdall or Odin. Please stick to the nandroid, where you can easily go back to recovery.

Sadly I do not know how to take screenshots in Firefox OS! I can, however, link to a thread with screenshots of Firefox OS at a similar DPI and whatnot... thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah, it's pretty interesting to say the least. Not good enough to be a daily driver (or even close), but it still works okay (no random reboots, etc.)

Well on the website there are build instructions for this, but really no downloads (unless you count what I believe is a desktop VM image).
Basically Mozilla uses Github and lets you pull things from their Github (via terminal) to build for your desired device.

Thanks for this! Works great, feels more fluid... Except doesn't seem to fix the touchscreen deadzones that occur intermittently (but of course that's for Samsung to take care of)
How this update should be installed? Adb?
Edit. Sorry, never mind, this is for N5100 but I have N5100. Waiting for new version for my device.
I am interested in loading this rom on my wife's tablet. I have been flashing rom's on my Motorola Phones for years now and am very comfortable doing so, but a real Novice when it comes to Samsung.
I am on 4.1.2, insecure loader. I have tried both CWM and TWRP recoveries and can use either. I have also used Odin as well.
Question, do I need to wipe data first, and how do I load this rom onto a Samsung Device.
Sorry for the trouble, but I am a fast learner and will be on board soon (I hope)

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure. If she wants to keep a lot of the apps' progress/settings she has, I would install Titanium Backup and back up all user apps first before doing anything. She may have everything synced with her Google account as I believe you can sync apps and their data through Google now, but I haven't tested it yet.
To install the ROM, you'd just need to put it somewhere locally on your tablet, I have a '000Flash' folder on the root of my internal SD storage for any ROMs/kernels/modems (on my phone), etc. Place it in there, then get yourself into recovery. Once in recovery, wipe everything I mentioned above, then go back to the install/flash option of whatever recovery you're using. Flash the .zip file you just downloaded and put locally on your tab. Wait a few minutes and boot her up!
Just make sure you have the right software for the right version tablet you have, N5110 vs N5100.

No problem, shouldn't be too different than what you're already used to, but I can understand the need for clarification when it comes to different devices as they're all a little bit different.

Also you will need to have CWM or TWRP installed as a custom recovery for it to work. There are plenty of options for installing and the new versions that are non touch should fix any issues uyou had previously. Happy flashing!

I'm all rooted and running the ROM...
This ROM definitely needs a little TLC...
How about putting a list of requests together so maybe we have an Idea of what we can expect?
Here is a thread for customizing this ROM!!!
Here is a link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera
This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
I installed xposed framework today and it works well on this ROM. Has anyone else tried this?
You can go here for other mods to add to it...
After you have the Xposed frame work installed you can install the app_settings see attachments, to modify the per app DPI settings.
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice.
Play around with it and we can build on it...
You can find other mods that you can see if they work and build a list in a new thread. REMEMBER TO BACK UP FIRST!
Ge the disabler in attachments to flash in case you get into a boot loop. These work well since this is a stock ROM.
NottachXposed works very nicely for this ROM... You just have to play with it a little bit, but you can tweak it out nicely...
Don't forget to grab the Multi-Window Manager over in the Themes and app section. It works Great Without any flaws so far...!
If you need a 3-way reboot menu, here is an excellent app here for that...
Knock it Off Please
OK, please stop with all the "bad-mouthing" and "trolling" and... the "Off-Topic" posts. You know the rules, especially in the Dev Forum.
You wanna post garbage or talk about who's gonna do what, then go to the main Android "Off Topic" forum.
