When I boot my phone, I get two error messages that both say "Unfortunately, the wiper app has stopped."
I installed a clean version of this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712618
I rooted using TWRP. I'm using sense unlock option with AOSP, if I recall.
I tried removing wiper.apk and wiper.odex from the system/apps folder.
bump....
This problem is solved in most if not all 3.15 based roms AFAIK

I'm kind of android retarded. What are some equivalent ROMs to the one I'm using?
I'm not sure what the interface is called, I think Jelly Bean, but basically I have a ring unlock and the home screen has 5 buttons at the bottom of the screen and I can scroll that bar to 2 sets of 5 more buttons.
Are there any better roms without issues that use that interface?
I think you are talking about sense roms
check the development section and ask some questions in the threads of a rom you may like most devs will answer your questions

MeanBean is very similar. Both ROM's are based on the deodexed version that Viper put together after JB dropped last month. I'm running MeanBean, also. Main difference is some of the tweaks the developers of each ROM are incorporating into their ROM's.

Yes... Install it as you would install a ROM

The Link Found Above To Viper's Wiper App Force Close Issue Works 100%.
You Need To make Sure You Install/Flash It Via Recovery. If I'm Not Mistaken Your Recover Should Be Twrp to Ensure It's done Right. Do A Backup In Case You Encounter Any Problems, Naturally, Then Proceed To Install The Zip. Ever Since I Installed It, That Issue Has Been Resolved Completely. Thanks Viper!

I am new at flashing roms on HTC.. so bear with this question if stupid. Any reason , I can't take out boot image out of PH98IMG and flash in bootloader then place rom on SD card and flash ?
Just trying to avoid Main ver issues in the future, plus I like to manually flash the kernels in fastboot . Seems to work out better for me .
Normally, I remove boot.img , flash rom.. reboot to bootloader then fastboot flash the boot.img and reboot phone.
It has worked great for me so far and I have avoided any main version issues so I can swap between ICS and GB if needed.
To my knowledge, there are no problems with the ROM, but if you found anything, please report back so I can fix it as soon as possible!

There is no Boot.img in this ROM, that's why you need to flash the PH98IMG.zip
And yes, you can use Fastboot if you like to, it should be the same.

To everyone, I wouldn't bother flashing until fixed. When the phone boots up after flashing this ROM, it constantly pops up that Swype has stopped working. It also asks for your country which you can't even select.
But with the Swype error, you can't type anything to set anything up. I went into settings and Swype was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off or activate any other keyboard.
I had to revert to my previous ROM because I couldn't do anything with this one. The ROM itself looks promising from what I saw, but it's not usable in its current state.
Hopefully it's fixed soon!

Yes, sorry to report that. I even wiped and flashed again to make sure, and the same problems popped up.
The first thing it asks when you unlock the screen is to choose your country. There is a drop down box but when you click on it, there is nothing in there and it gives an error.
Then the Swype error pops up like very 5 seconds and you can't get any keyboard to pop up to type anything.
As I said, the ROM looks great though! I'm looking forward to the update and see how it runs! Thanks!!

Yes, I hit home a few times to skip it but the Swype error issue completely cripples this ROM. It pops up around every 5 seconds and you can't get a keyboard to pop up at all. Even after going into keyboard settings there is nothing in there as an alternative to do anything with the ROM.

*P.S.* You will NOT be bricked, at most you will just get a bootloop. Mostly likely consequence of doing it and the patch not working is that your home button will be the back, and back will be home, and possibly no signal. But all should be fixed if you follow instructions in that patch thread.

Just tried it. It did nothing but give me a bunch of random apps, installed TWlauncher and the icons changed...
Where is the backup stored?
New TW version up...very smooth. Hopefully, devs will be able to port the new widgets.
Uses Aroma and has a choice between 3 different launchers(Apex/Nova/Touchwiz), AOSP/Sense lockscreen, & Selective Widget removal. Enjoy!
Be aware this will leave you as close to aosp as you can get on a sense rom. So if you use VZ Backup Assistant/HTC Sync, run those first. Could work on Sense 3.5 also.

v5
Switched to busy box filesystem mounts now making it more universal rather than Rezound specific.

Rom testing last weekend
I had bad luck with this rom. I don't think it plays well with Verizon. Text messaging wouldn't work, and calling out stopped working. It says you are roaming all the time. So I reflahed the stock, and went back to CM11 and all is good. I'm sure sun dream will have the bugs out soon. It does after all say "test". It did look really cool though.

Most of @sun_dream ROMs are GSM specific and don't play well with Verizon... I would image this one is the same so your results are not unexpected.
its been a very long time since i didnt anything on MIUI, but i might be able to take a peak at things on this rom and see if i can get it running better on verizon...have to dust off my rezzy though...i make no promises but ill see what i can do if the OP doesnt mind

This ROM probably needs to be installed with the newest clockwork mod recovery. I was having similar issues with not being able to install sun_dreams other ROM on my S-ON phone, as referenced below. I could not extract that ROM either.
I was able to get the boot.img from another person, who installed the ROM that was S-OFF and could provide it.
