Viper4G 1.0.0 is a Sense 4.0 ROM for the HTC EVO 4G LTE that features an application to theme anything and a Venom Hub to keep you in touch and up to date with all ROM updates.
The theming engine allows for full theming support of statusbar and application icons, so if you’re interested in fully making the ROM yours, the functionality is right there to do that from the start.
Viper4G comes in Sense and DeSense options, so if you’re craving a bit of the CM feel on your phone, there are also options for that.
There have been some modifications to the messaging app that allow for secure and blocklist folders, Adaway is included for blocking some advertising, and a host of tweaks specific to the ROM are included to make it a pretty well rounded package.
If you plan to install this, make sure you’re on the latest radio and firmware update, or you will see random issues. Also, clear your Google Wallet settings before leaving your old ROM, make a nandroid backup, and let us know what you think of the ROM.
off the hook!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you
I guess i should have phrased that differently, when are they going to get S-Off on the new OTA
Can’t help you on that one buddy…I have no idea! I have a feeling that may be a while.
I installed this ROM last night shortly after it was released. I was hesitant installing the first version of a new ROM but my confidence in the team that put this together made me decide to give it a whirl.
This ROM really is sweet. It’s very smooth and good looking. So far I haven’t come across any issues but it is still early.
One thing of note was how polished and fast the installer is. From the moment the install started I was in awe. VIPER 4G really is worth a look.
It’s not really the first version of a new ROM per se, Viper and Vincenzo had already released a ROM called Viper eLiTE and they’ve made terrific ROM’s for every previous EVO flagship… They just decided to make a clean break and rename this version I guess, not that there was anything wrong with their previous LTE ROM. I actually think Viper and Fresh were the best Sense ROMs out, Fresh has been slow to update due to family issues so I’m probably hopping on the Viper train. The themed photo and brief description above really don’t do their work justice IMO, then again the abbreviated change log they put out for the new ROM doesn’t do them any favors either (normally that would drive me up a wall but I’m willing to give them a pass based on past history and body of work). The ROM deserves a full fledged review IMO.
it will get a full review soon, I’m working on another ROM on the LTE at the moment and had to have my phone up and running, which is why it’s not a ROM Pick / just a “hey look at this”
I installed this yesterday and I have to say, in the short time I have been using it I love it. It is super fast and even though the battery has yet to settle in good, I am still getting fantastic life on it. I haven’t seen any complaints for me yet but I am still working on the device and playing around with it.
I too have to say I was completely impressed with the Aroma installer. First time I used this type of installer and it was fantastic!
I really don’t like the look. I’ve been using Viperboy’s Viper ROM since my EVO 3D days (using his eLite on my LTE now). I wish it didn’t have that theme on it. I know you can change the theme, but I don’t feel like getting into that now. Hoping someone can post a nice plain theme in the thread.
I also worry about future flash updates reverting the theme to that ugly black viper/red nonsense that it shows in screen shots. I’m very surprised they changed that honestly. It seems very niche, when they used to support a broad user base.
I’ve been running this since it was released. It’s very stable, fast, and has excellent battery life. The mA idle battery draw is around 3-4 mA with an occasional spike and the screen-on draw varies (depending on what you’re doing), but is still relatively low.
It basically takes the best of viperROM ELiTE with an enhanced version of what the PKMN Tweaks brought and adds many more theming elements. For those of you not liking the red/black, you can change that very easily from within the Venom Tweaks and Venum Hub.
Okay… this ROM is epic. I installed it last night and it’s really pretty awesome. The changes you can make within the custom settings application is very extensive.
NOTE: Do not try to flash this unless you are on TWRP 2.2.1.
