Clear cache is under wipe. Click the wipe button and you'll see a bunch of options.

I should have figured that out. I was kind of leery of clicking advanced wipe. Baaaa I need to grow a set. So basically I just have to wipe dalvic cache and cache and leave the other's alone?

That works. You shouldn't worry about much. They have the slider thing to make it fairly safe. Just clicking doesn't do too much . And besides, even if you bork it, as long as you don't delete your backup, you can get back. And better still, if all goes to heck, you can flash back to stock. Lots of help here!

Guess the next step is choosing a custom ROM... Besides Viper any other good ones out there?

Newtoroot's Nos7 Sense 5 one is cool. It's sense 5 though. You will need a 3rd party launcher unless you like blinkfeed which is really not as bad as I thought it would be.

[Sabres032]

I've heard nor read anything about blinkfeed. Guess I can spend any downtime tomorrow reading up on that.

It's basically flipboard on your home screen. Throw in your twitter and facebook feeds as well as pick from some news stuff. It's actually kinda sexy and well done but I can only stand it for so long then I need a regular homescreen.

Basically HTC's answer to Windows phone? Yea, it doesn't look appetizing to me..

As for your next step, download and flash a rom. After making a backup of course.

That's the one. Yup load up 1.3.1. Then you will get an OTA update to 1.3.3. It was just a minor bug fix. That's what I am running right now. The kernel will be fine. After we get that going we can point you to crpalmer's sense kernel. You can flash it in recovery. That will work much better for battery than stock.

Ok. Cool.

Create a folder on my c:/ drive and label it , for sake of argument, viperDNA. Make sure I have adb.exe and fastboot in there. Put the kernel and bootload image in there too. What directory do I put the ROM image into, on my phone, before I boot into recovery and wipe dalvic, wipe cashe, wipe storage?

[Memnoch73]

woah, woah... Just put the rom and kernel on your sd. Wipe in TWRP. Install rom from TWRP. Set up rom. Boot into recovery and flash kernel. No wipes. done.

So just put on the root of the sd? And do I still wipe dalvic, cache and that's it, right? The viper thread mentions wiping dalvic, cache, storage and doing an FDR before flashing b

[Memnoch73]

Yup on root of sd.... Wipe data, cache, davlik and system prior to flashing.

Cool thanks man... Not sure what we got going. Have some running around to do and will be enjoying the warm weather with some cold beverages later since we are kid free tonight.

Kid free, summer Saturday's are always a good thing. If you do decide to come out give me a text or call first, not sure what area we are setting up.

If I set the ROM up first how does it work without the kernel? Or is the kernel prepackaged in the ROM and this is just like an update?

Never mind I think I figured out what I was asking. Just finished setting up the ROM and it's installing.......

 

Congratulations...

 

ViperDNA

has been installed successfully

 

Press Finish, and Reboot your phone. 

 

Thanks

 

**Edit**  .......Rebooted into recovery, clicked the install button and the boot.img isn't showing? How do I flash the kernel?
