[Droid 2 Android Development] Archangel:
I do too, i wonder if i just simply delete one will it do the trick? I remember him saying something about duplicate apk's in the other Rom so well see.
[Droid 2 Android Development] haincha:
Okay, I got it. Again, my problems happened to be caused by me. I did not mount /system

So that made my phone an epic fail. (pun!)

But, it is all up and going right now. Will post again when I get to mess around with it some more.
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
There are two apks.

email.apk

emailgoogle.apk

Remove one. Don't worry, emailgoogle.apk is not gmail. Gmail is gmail.apk.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
well i guess i just have to restore to Tranquility and re-flash to get this thing fixed
[Droid 2 Android Development] Coderedpl:
If the blur contacts was removed that would be perfection.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JKASS5:
Great rom matt thanks! Do have problem with fancey widget wen I go to landscape mode it mashes the hours with minutes on clock.n gmail force closes on bootup. Other than that love the rom. Awsome bootanimation and wallpaper too. Lol
[Droid 2 Android Development] Antiapplekid:
How well is this working now I tried 2.0 but it was just too buggy?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Hashbaz:
Can't wait to try this out! Soon as I can get to a (working) computer to root my phone it's being flashed.
[Droid 2 Android Development] haincha:
I am sure this is just an isolated problem. But, I have not successfully flashed this rom yet. I am going to restore my phone and stick with 2.0.

I am really sad in the pants, because this rom looks fantastic.
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
Works good overall. There are a couple of quirks still that I am waiting to see ironed out.

1. All of the libraries for FM radio are still not included. (not a big issue since we can put them there ourselves, but if they aren't going to be included, we should remove the FM radio apk.)

2. A theme quirk: transparent notification box artifact. Thanks for getting the progress bar looking nice matt4542 :)

3. For some Calendar quickly closes when you try to add a new event. (This can be fixed by pushing the calendargoogle.apk to system and removing the blur one. Just leave the blur calendar sync in place.)

4. Double email apps. (Just remove one)

None of these are show stoppers, if you don't mind tweaking it after install; all can be fixed except the theme quirk. The theme quirk just needs someone to overhaul it to remove these quirks. Either that or snag a compatible current theme that doesn't have these issues and mod it. I know Tranquility for Droid 2 does not have these theme issues.

I think it is a pretty good ROM. Matt did a good job.
[Droid 2 Android Development] haincha:
Okay, after having several disagreements with my phone. I got this flashed. I know I said I would go back to 2.0, but I don't give up that easily.

I went from stock rooted to 2.5, worked much better than trying to go from 2.0 -> 2.5
[Droid 2 Android Development] burkechrs1:
Rom works great. Only thing I notice so far is my gmail force closes and I get the same error every boot up. Great work.
[Droid 2 Android Development] natez0r:
In reference to #3, could you possibly direct me to a place where i can get the calendargoogle.apk so I can do this (I have done some searching and can't seem to find anything)? After checking logcat for the stack trace for the calendar force close, the motorola specific calendar is definitely the problem. That's the only issue I have run into with this ROM. Otherwise it's great!
[Droid 2 Android Development] bcs296:
If you go to the Fancy Widget settings and go to Advanced settings, is Compatibility mode checked off? I noticed the same problem you are having when compatibility mode was turned on but I turned it off and the problem went away.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JKASS5:
Awsome tip bcs296 i had no idea that that mode was even there. lol. checked it off n works perfectly. thanks alot dude!
[Droid 2 Android Development] Matt4542:
I tried that. The thing is if I put in the stock contacts I would need to put in the stock phone and then that will cause other issues and so on.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bcs296:
No problem!

On another note, I installed this 2.5 right over 2.0 and haven't had any problems yet. It's running awesome, the changes are great, and it kept all of my home screens/shortcuts/widgets intact. Great job, Matt.

Matt, I have to ask just because I am curious, and don't take this as a complaint as I am completely happy with the rom and have no problem using it long term -- how deep does this issue go with the contacts being tied to the phone and the phone being tied to other things? I mean can you trace it all the way to the kernel or could it theoretically be done if somebody wanted to invest the time and effort?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Matt4542:
Well I did put in the stock phone application. I wasn't able to get service so I think that was tied into it because I always get about 3 bars of 3G.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Antiapplekid:
thanks for the reply going to give this a try today
[Droid 2 Android Development] natez0r:
I was able to fix the force close in the calendar app by running the fix permissions command from ROM manager. Hope that helps someone else
[Droid 2 Android Development] fluffydeath:
Hey Matt,

Love the rom so far. I have gotten the occasional "slide to unlock..oh it's rebooting my phone" ;). (once last night after flashing and once today) The Rom boots up so fast now that it isn't a deal breaker, just a nuisance.

Per our other discussions about the Messaging widget. Apparently Google has prevents 3rd parties from viewing the Email messaging database for their email app.

So if I want the Moto messaging widget (I love having my exchange new messages visible and accessible from my home screen) I will have to use bluremail.apk

Anyway keep up the awesome work and if you need a guinea pig for the reboot issue I gladly volunteer.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bcs296:
Ah, oh well. Love the rom anyway - it's quite fast and the battery indicator is nice as is the black notification bar/white text.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Coderedpl:
I wish i knew how to mess with the contacts cuz that would just be awesome to have it working.
[Droid 2 Android Development] subsoniic:
is swype fixed ? :D
[Droid 2 Android Development] howeasy:
Any way to get the moto widgets back at least?

I thought they were kinda sexy. :3
[Droid 2 Android Development] prtsmgr:
Thanks Matt4542,

I appreciate all the time you put into this.

I will send a donation your way.
[Droid 2 Android Development] fluffydeath:
The moto Widgets actually have a lot of interdependencies. Especially the messaging widget. To add them back in essentially adds "bloat" back in and if Matt still wanted to keep the Froyo apps in it would create application redundancies.

It sounds like you would actually gain a lot from either finding Matt's 1.1 Release. (pretty much just Deodexed Factory Droid which speeds the Droid 2 up significantly) or just take the stock droid 2 and deodexing it with Xultimate yourself. (Very straight forward process, just read the readme)

I'm trying to get Matt his 1.1 release so he can rehost it should he choose.
[Droid 2 Android Development] howeasy:
Well I've done quite a bit of programming for XDAndroid so I should figure it out.

But on another note:

I cant really use this anymore.

Every press presses something random. Every long press to add a widget just acts as if im pressing "home", so it brings me to the 6 screens I have overviewed.

and I continue to long press the screen starts bringing up random menus, pulling down the notification bar, pressing things on the menus etc.

All from just one long press

EDIT:

found 1.1 over at http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=ht...29.zip&usg=AFQjCNF3UddTSlv5XAW2ZneCCedQWUBIQA
[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
Love the rom but fc happens in apps like terminal emulator,dev tools, etc . The phone is much snappier...looking forward to future updates!
[Droid 2 Android Development] chad24taylor:
Fantastic rom, Matt.

Keep up the good work.
[Droid 2 Android Development] haincha:
I had to tear apart one of your last releases. I had my notifications set to be Artoo, and he was missing from this rom. But, I thank you greatly for putting it in your previous release. I really like that sound clip, none of the others I was looking for fit the bill.
[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
uh......... i use pure calendar (agenda). the widget works....but i cant add events....where do i get calendargoogle.apk??
[Droid 2 Android Development] phillip52986:
Battery issues

I like the battery status icon but its not accurate. it shows 20% less that what my battery is. I think its in the rom because its wrong under battery status. i can put the same battery in my droid and it shows 90% but on the droid 2 with epic it shows 70%. when i flash back to stock it show 90% when i flash back to epic it shows 70%.
[Droid 2 Android Development] burkechrs1:
My friend and I both have noticed that pur phones will randomly restart. Maybe 2 or 3 times a day and generally while texting. It just out of the blue goes to the boot animation and restarts.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Matt4542:
It is android. It counts by twenties. Dont blame my rom -_-
[Droid 2 Android Development] Matt4542:
Wipe your data
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
I'm a little confused by that statement. If it counted by twenties, wouldn't it never show 70? 20 40 60 80 100. I figured it was counting by tens. Not trying to start anything, the issue he's describing sounds weird. Maybe he just needs to recalibrate his battery. Maybe not.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Matt4542:
They're talking about the percentage in the battery indicator which goes by twenties. I know what I am talking about.
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
Not saying you don't just saying it sounded odd. I specifically said I was trying to start anything, just trying to understand.
[Droid 2 Android Development] tgwaste:
The battery icon on the status bar has 7 images associated with it that android draws depending on the percentage. the images are based on the values: 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100. what you are seeing is an image not a program running in the background to state a value. this is currently a poor-mans way of getting some kind of value on the status bar until a better solution can come about. you can of course install a third party program like battery status or something that counts by 10s instead.
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
Thanks for being cool and filling in the blanks. The 70 referenced must not be related to this. This makes sense because I did notice conflicting battery status with third party statuses.

I initially thought this was similar to what was in Cyanogen's rom, but yeah we don't have that kind of access to the lower layers to do this.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kdog349:
Facebook contact sync

Is anyone else having issues setting up facebook contact sync?

Contact pictures won't sync with their facebook pictures. If I try and manually link a contact with their facebook name, no contacts appear under the facebook name list.

Not a huge issue but it would be nice to have them linked up. Maybe its a result of removing a lot of the blur, although this feature worked great on my original droid.

UPDATE:

Fixed this problem by setting up all the sync options on stock android, then flashing the rom. Before I went straight from a factory reset to flashing the ROM, and tried to set up all the account syncs on the EPIC rom.
[Droid 2 Android Development] burkechrs1:
I have wiped my data. Twice. It sucks cuz it resets all my settings..
[Droid 2 Android Development] madformoney:
Do the lock screen music controls work with this rom, because they aren't working on my phone at the moment and I'm wondering if its my fault or the roms.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kjik:
Just thought I'd let you know that when I try to download "Epic by Matt4542!" in ROM Manager it gives me an error saying the ROM couldn't be downloaded and to contact the developer
[Droid 2 Android Development] Topplayer2g:
same here it would be nice to flash from rom manger
[Droid 2 Android Development] beatified:
I totally agree it would be nice to just be able to check and even download the newest roms via rom manager and not have to checking for new threads or posts here.
[Droid 2 Android Development] beatified:
Has anyone had any issues with Exchange mail with any of The Epic Roms?

I haven't been able to get Exchange functioning with any of the releases, 1.0, 2.0, and both releases of 2.5. Come to think of it I may have been able to get it working with 1.0 but maybe thats related to the fact that blur is still in 1.0.

Do I need to wipe my data?

If so whats the best method of backing up sms and mms messages?
[Droid 2 Android Development] jj702561:
one thing i just noticed... whenever the GPS is running on my phone, the indicator doesn't pop up in the notification bar until i start google maps or navigator, how ever it also doesn't pop up when its being used by a GPS data tester thingy i got... the reason im curious about this is that i was playing around with google goggles just a second ago and realized that the GPS services dont seam to work any more... just wondering if anyone else is having this issue, if the problem is with google goggles or the rom, and why the indicator doesn't pop up until actively used by one of the aforementioned programs...

Thanks for all the hard work on getting rid of nasty nasty blur though,

forever grateful,

ME!!!
[Droid 2 Android Development] Juanito_08:
Im with you on this I miss the lock screen music controls, I wonder if matt can do anything about it
[Droid 2 Android Development] diab0likalt:
Just installed last night...few things I noticed.... (using d2)

Terminal em packed w this crashes on launch

Quick contacts widget doesn't work (will make widget 2x2 but can't select anything)

backup assistant doesn't work but is still listed in apps

wouldn't mind having stock alarm clock or something included

Other than that all seems to be well and im loving it!

hopefully future releases will address a couple of these
[Droid 2 Android Development] FlyersPh9:
i tried downloading your ROM on the ROM Manager available in the app store, but it says there was an error and to contact you. :p
[Droid 2 Android Development] llyllkay:
Hi, I wanted to point out that my calendar is not allowing me to create or edit events. Has anyone encountered this issue yet and if so, have you found a solution to the issue? Help, please!thanks in advance.

http://www.p3droid.info/RC/Tranquility_2-patch.zip

Download the original Google Calendar Apk from the link provided, install it, and use Root manager to disable BlurCalendar.apk but keep the BlurCalendarProvider.apk
[Droid 2 Android Development] kageurufu:
A few nice modifications I made to my system

First off, i removed AmazonMP3 and a few other unneeded apps. I removed the built in terminal.apk, superuser.apk, and a couple others, and installed the market versions. I used Beautiful Widgets instead of Fancy Widgets (I prefer the themes)

Also, LauncherPro Plus's Facebook widget is amazing, totally worth buying the app, and Tasker is so awesome, my phone auto-mutes when I am in class (combination of Wifi Near and Calender appointments)
[Droid 2 Android Development] vampiricsoul:
i dont know if anyone else is having this problem but when i toggle my wifi on or off it goes into a infinite loop of turning itself on and off and then my phone stops finding service and i have to reboot then it works fine until i touch it again

second thing is when i install new apps they dont show up in my app tray until i reboot the phone

if anyone knows how to fix this it will be greatly appreciated
[Droid 2 Android Development] ITGuy11:
Same problem here with the WiFi.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kageurufu:
I get the wifi loop but that's A problem with the kernel or the phone itself, not this rom
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
Question(s).

Does the HDMI settings really work? (I don't have anything HD so just wondering)

What's the best way to backup contacts when switching ROMs? (not all of mine switched with me)

Also, thanks for the great ROM. I like the notification bar changes, the fancy widget stuff, I thought I'd miss the blur message stuff but so far I like yours better:).
[Droid 2 Android Development] tgwaste:
no idea why people dont manage their contacts in gmail -> contacts. makes things soooo much easier.
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
I'll try that.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Terri M:
I FINALLY found a ROM that I have been looking for! Tranquility ROM is awesome!
[Droid 2 Android Development] theskeptik1:
This is amazing. My phone is 1,0000x faster now and looks like a million bucks. Mad props
[Droid 2 Android Development] lukesdiesel:
just downloaded this rom. so far so good.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kevin.ktt:
Works great- love the new battery- thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] bouchedag:
Doesn't work for me

Got my D2 today, Root went fine and superfast, same with the bootstrap/recovery, tried to install this via clockwork, and it says successfull, phone reboots, blur still there and intact, any ideas....anyone?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Hulkcrawler:
What version does it say you're running? Blur isn't entirely gone with this rom, just a large portion.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bouchedag:
2.2.20.A955.Verizon.en.US
[Droid 2 Android Development] burkechrs1:
It should say epic 2.5 somewhere. Did you mnt /system in bootstrap?
[Droid 2 Android Development] bouchedag:
that was the step I was missing!!! Thanks ALOT!!!!
[Droid 2 Android Development] kageurufu:
I've had a problem but I'm not sure if its this rom.

My gmail is fetching instead of pushing, anyone else?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Juanito_08:
deodex?

Does this room deodex your phone or do I have to do it manually? Trying to install a custom theme :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] zibrah3ed:
It is already deodexed.
[Droid 2 Android Development] randytheshiv:
can you please go into more detail on this?
[Droid 2 Android Development] one.:
he means when you were installing the rom....

before you do, you have to mount the /system folder after you reboot - before installing, a commonly forgotten step

Still anxiously awaiting the next release
[Droid 2 Android Development] grimmy311:
Same here, looking forward to new release, just recently installed this and have the rebooting after unlocking sometimes, and the calendar crashing when trying to add appointments. Is there another thread for bugs?
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
With the calendar crash problem. Read through the posts I think someone posted a fix for it

:D
[Droid 2 Android Development] natez0r:
to the guy having the calendar problems.
[Droid 2 Android Development] pballa2099:
anyone to get the keyboard vibrate feature back?
[Droid 2 Android Development] one.:
Assuming my calendar prob is the same....it closes when making a new evernt.

Anyway FWIW I did the fix permissions and the problem persists
[Droid 2 Android Development] one.:
Also im wondering if anybody knows if its safe to install a custom theme over this rom....
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
I think its in the earlier of the pages, you can download the stock google calendar apk and install it, then use root manager to disable BlurCalendar.apk but do NOT disable BlurCalendarProvider.apk
[Droid 2 Android Development] Juanito_08:
Yes, it is :D im running a different status bar that I got under the themes section... just make sure you do a back up before doing so
[Droid 2 Android Development] Brandonw1987tn:
unlock bug

Hey matt, just wanted to let you kmow the bug where you unlock your phone, it freezes then re-boots is happening quite often on me now. Is there a fix for this or will it be fixed in your next update? Thnx
[Droid 2 Android Development] wimastyle:
Remove Amazon MP3?

I'm liking this theme a whole bunch... thanks for the great work.

However, I noticed that the Amazon MP3 app is still on my phone and running. How can I get rid of it? I used adb to delete the amazon APK from my system/app directory, and yet it is STILL running.

Anyone know where the Amazon MP3 app is hidden so I can delete it once and for all?
[Droid 2 Android Development] grimmy311:
Just tested this, works fine no issues.
[Droid 2 Android Development] one.:
I went ahead and put kangerade blue on my phone, but sadly, the replacement to the 3 on-screen keys didn't work w/ epic for w/e reason. Went ahead and uninstalled for now. No apparent problems other than that though.

C'est La Vie....and I guess it looks like we'll be waiting at least one more day for the next release.

Wish matt hadn't said it would be up yesterday or today, because now I'm chomping at the bit!
[Droid 2 Android Development] wimastyle:
Sure enough, figured out my problem about 15 min after posting. I had to pull up the Amazon MP3 app in the market and uninstall updates. With that done, it's finally off my system!
[Droid 2 Android Development] one.:
Im hoping this is gone in the next ver myself...the hell am I going to do...buy mp3s from amazon?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Hashbaz:
I'm trying to restore the blur rss app to this rom. I don't like the rest of blur but I haven't been able to find an rss feed with a widget that works as well as the blur one. I have the apk file from the orginal but it won't install. Anyone have some info im missing? Or any rss apps that work as well that I may be missing?
[Droid 2 Android Development] fluffydeath:
like my issue with the blur messaging widget, the blur rss probably requires the blur-home.apk. just copy both into /system/apps.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Hashbaz:
Copied both to the /system/app/ folder but still not showing up.

Interestingly if I click on the blurhome.apk in astro it says its installed and if I click launch it says "com.motorola.blur.home" isn't found.

If I click on the newswidget.apk it doesn't say its installed.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Hulkcrawler:
I found it in Root Explorer listed as amazonmp3_1.7.22_signed_zipaligned.apk. I just renamed it to .bak, and it hasn't bothered me since. :)

I skimmed over your post where you got it figured out. Whatever works. :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Patiently waiting for the Epic 3.0 update
[Droid 2 Android Development] one.:
lol my patience is waning quickly!

I think there would be more impatient people out there if they hadn't lost the 24 hours in which the post saying it was coming was in.

Also if you want to remove apps, but don't want to go thru the hassle, you can at least hide them with launcherpro, which is a fantastic launcher anyway.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Lol pretty much, its sad :-)
[Droid 2 Android Development] skipwagner:
This works extremely well. Only one thing. Sometimes (very rare, happened once today) when I go to slide to unlock, the phone freezes and resets. Any one else have that problem
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Download widget locker home replacement
[Droid 2 Android Development] Shortyspitfire:
Loving the rom. Wondering what the added hdmi function under settings is for?
[Droid 2 Android Development] RammiKan:
Just updated pandora app and now it wont ope, force closes everytime. Tried fixing permissions, rebooting and uninstalling and reinstalling...no luck. Not sure if its an issue with the rom or not but I don't know what else it would be...suggestions?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JDunc:
Yea same problem here. Just downloaded Last.fm for now.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
I have pandora running right now with 2.5 and its working great. So it might not be the rom
[Droid 2 Android Development] JDunc:
Did u do the update from today?
[Droid 2 Android Development] one.:
This is a known problem...as far as I know happens to everybody a couple times a day.

I can confirm my pandora was working fine, then updated, and now force close everytime also.

Since the first thing he says is "just updated pandora" I'm guessing yes.
