Any idea why my apps aren't showing up after i reboot?

After installing EXT4, my phone started to stutter pretty bad. Even though quadrant was producing scores of mid 1500's I was noticing FPS's in the single digits every once in a while during the testing process.

That's when I finally decided to start from the beginning by odining back to 2.1 and so on, this time going back to RFS instead of EXT4. After testing the GPS with brand new rooted redirected stock DK28. I installed Midnight ROM 2.6 using CWM 2.5.1.0 and everything was super smooth. Quadrant no longer lags and producing scores of around 1000. Internal diskspace was at 427mb before reinstalling apps. After I reinstalling 89 apps, diskspace is at 286mb. (phone is running perfect at this point)

Then decided to flash midnight themev3 and my newly installed apps have all disappeared. Internal space is still at 286mb. From here I decided to wipe data and reinstall midnight ROM 2.6(RFS, didn't odin this time), now the internal memory starts off with 391mb instead of 428mb.

Currently running 2.6RFS + theme v3 and still able to reproduce the same problem with the apps. I've made sure to odin 2.1, 2.2, and most importantly, no data restores of any kind. Not sure if it's entirely due to the theme or not. I've tried both v3 themes. Going to start over and see if rebooting 2.6RFS without the theme will mess up the apps.

If GPS shows searching but it's picking you up nearly a mile away then it's probably using wireless networks to find you. I had this issue with mine after first flashing to the leaked 2.2.1 firmware. I tried 11 different ROMS and still never had a true GPS lock without using wireless networks. I eventually used Odin and flashed the original 2.1. I tested GPS and got a good lock without wireless networks. Then I used ODIN again and installed the dk28 pit and modem files and then I flashed midNIGHT 2.5 with EXT4 according to the instructions and my GPS works perfectly now. I hope this helps!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
So what do you all think. Everyone ready to make the switch to ext4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] drastic25:
same issues here ..i installed 2.6 with clockwork .2 and my phone was smooth ...then i decided to reflash with clockwork 3 ...and my phone also stutters..i can see the lag in quadrant on the 3d test but my scores was 1602..
[Epic 4G Android Development] drastic25:
yes mines was showing me i'm next to holiday inn..about a 1 or 2 away
[Epic 4G Android Development] sewhuy:
I have tried both Dameon87's and your method of installing EXT4 and both installed just fine. Only thing is that for some reason on my phone and several others the performance is not very consistent. Any fixes for that before we ditch RFS(more consistent for me...)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You need to give the phone a bit to kinda set in. After a reboot I have no problems at all. As far as gps goes I navigated over 100 miles yesterday with out any problems....The gps is fixed but some people still seem to have issues. For gps to work stand out side for the first connection and turn on the gps and load GPS status. Your see the progress of your connection. You should never try to connect in the house or a building. Sure it works most of the time but it's not a fair test of the GPS working or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Reboot your phone and then try again.

I will be uploading a video to my Blog this afternoon of the installation of CW3 and the edify ROM. I'm uploading the video now so keep checking back for it. Click on the Android Development page at the top.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
You are going to have to boot to download mode by pressing 1 and powering up, you will have adb then.

Most likely something went wrong during ext4 wipe and you'll probably have to odin back and start over.

Do the easier method, by installing cwm3 as it will install ext4 for you w/o the 3 step method. then flash rom.

Remember even though you'll be fresh i would still wipe 3x.
[Epic 4G Android Development] superradrudeboy:
Born ready dude. I was up last night flashing cwm3 and flashed your rom v2.6 as well as the latest theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Willieumm:
I installed the CW3 just fine I think but I can't get it to install any .zip files. It just says E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]

E:Can't mount /sdcard

Then I renamed the new Midnight ROM to update.zip and when I try to install that it says

Installing: /sdcard/update.zip

Finding update package...

E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard/update.zip]

E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip

Installation aborted.

Any ideas what I did wrong or how to fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
he has stated and so have others that until the .zips are confirmed EXT4/edify compatible they will not work properly.

If you are simply trying to install CW3 and his newest midnight release

Follow the 3 step method he provides on his first post to install EXT4

from their go to the CW3 thread and install that

after cw3 is installed install the newest midnight release and flash that you should be set.

anyone have issues with market it not showing up for me, when i look in system/app i see vending.apk.apk why is it labeled this way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chadit:
in \data\app\placeholder it is an empty file.

I verified in \system\app\vending.apk.apk I am about to flash to latest, I would assume using root explorer to rename to vending.apk will fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
I did that already with no luck... going to download and flash again.

Also wondering if the new base is off of 1.1.3 Bonsai? I ask cause the 1.1.3 people are reporting serious speed increase from his tweaks...
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
No need to follow the 3 step method, if you want ext4 then just install cwm3 and flash rom as usual.

Just rename it and delete the last .apk. That happens in windows when the file extension is hidden. just rename and all will be good
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Did this already with the zip prior to flash and also from within the os using Root explorer.... neither worked. I am redownloading and going to flash again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
if it is ok with ptfdmedic when i get home i will upload a cumilitive .zip file with both midnight releases in it,EXT4,ODIN DK28,and CWM3.along with a readme i have made.

[Epic 4G Android Development] oranges311:
ok not sure where im going wrong. ive tried just about every method available on here i think. Heres what im doing. Im installing cw3 since u guys said it also installs ext4. then im wiping and clearing and flashing the 2.6 or w/e its called that ext4 and edify ready. it seems to go fine except after it boots up it constantly flickers airplane mode off and on so fast that i never receive a signal. so ive flashed back to stock and tried again like 3 times and still cant get it. ne ideas? maybe someone can give me a step by step in a single post so that i dont have to piece it together please since i am still very new to android?
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Can anyone clear this up for me:

I'm currently on EXT4 midNight ver 2.2 and I want to upgrade to 2.5. Can I just flash the ROM without wiping or should I wipe?

And if I have to wipe, can I restore from a nandroid backup all Data / System?

Please help
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
reflash the dk28 modem with odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It"s always best to wipe. That said you can try you may not have any problems. I can offer no support though if you restore a backup, especially those coming from rfs to ext4 for the 1st time and wanting to restore backups made while on rfs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
Agreed! wipe,wipe,wipe..... that being said I restored data from a nandroid b/u w/ no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Does this have the same TCP tweaks that are in the new Bonsai 1.1.3? Users are reporting good internet speed increases with 3g.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Is the only difference in 2.6 that its cwm 3 ready?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
yup it does
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Thanks for the replies, I wiped and then I restored from nandroid b/u and everything is 100% operational.

Question, I see that on 2.5 we are missing the Sprint VM app, i've been searching for it but can't seem to get a hit, if can (@ptfdmedic or anyone) can you post it?

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
I skipped 2.5 but 2.6 has it.

Edit, i think it does....it could have been from a previous b/u
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I'm still not 100% confident on the whole edify debackle so I rather hold back a bit till its 100% accepted by everyone.

But do you or anyone have the APK or ZIP to restore the sprint Visual Voicemail??

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Rename the tar.md5 to just .tar
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
Still at work, and I just glaced thru the threads and was wondering if you'll b able to load other zips to the new clock work seeing the you have Edify (friendly) or is this just for this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
My phone has been super since installing 2.5 via the 3 step method (+ dk28 modem) for the rom and ext4!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Its not listed in the app drawer, but I do get voicemail notifications just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I'm converting a bunch of zips to the edify format. Will post later....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
+1 on this, I have the same issue...one question for you though, when you boot into cwm3 does it give you a bunch of

E:Can't mount (blank) ?

Because it does for me and I've tried multible cwm3 installs.

Also we might be better served to post these issues in the cwm3 thread since the problem has nothing to do with midnight rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Edify is what google is using on everything after froyo. It doesn't really matter if it's accepted by the user base because it really has more to do with the developer.

Unless you are using the naked edition the voice mail is there. It's the blue icon. Also do a search cause I posted a (old format) zip somewhere in this thread....
[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:
Going from 2.2 with ext4 to 2.6 on clockwork version 2

ptfdmedic,

Are there any issues going from 2.2 ext4 to 2.6 ext4 using CWM 2.5.1.x? Might you list the exact steps needed when going from dot release to dot release on in your first main post?

Thanks in advance,
[Epic 4G Android Development] MedicStuder:
What is edify????
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Thanks for the tip, I got the Visual VM :D for some reason when I searched for it in the attachment list it didn't show up the first time, but got it.

About Edify I do recognize that its the way to go, but I'm not ready for the CW3 install yet, I want to ready more about it and get more knowledge before I make the jump, but eventually (this weekend lol) it will happen.

Thank's a lot bro, and keep up the good work!

Install video up for Root w/CW3 and EXT4. Also includes flashing v2.6 as well. Click on Android Development...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
Is it possible to get the stock VM app to run on the new CW3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
What do you mean? CW3 has no baring on the apps that run on the phone. If you are referring to flashing a zip then yes I will give you one of those.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I think that he means if he can reinstall the stock vm app using an old recovery zip with CW3 or is it strickly edify format only.

Sent from my Epic 4G powered by midNIGHT 2.2 w/ EXT4 ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
No cw3 ONLY supports the edify format.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
.zips (edify ready) are posted on the blog in the right hand column. Android Development Page

I move then to the 1st post when I start the new thread. For now if you want them they are at my blog.

Ptfdmedic,

I've used all of the DK28 roms and I like what you have done here. One problem I have encountered is I can't back out of contacts using the back button. I have use the home button to backout. It happens with Launcher and LauncherPro. Other than that it has been running nice with no FC's.

Update: Fixed my contacts backout by re-associating icon to contacts.

Check out the 2nd post. Let me know if it works. It will install the Nexus livewallpaper.apk and wallpaper picker. It also include the TW live wallpapers as well as the new Microbes live wallpaper. Haven't tried it yet so backup first and let me know. I'm going to odin restore and try flashing it. I'll let you know.

EDIT: Screwed up and left out a file. You will need to reflash the wallpaper zip. I just fixed it. Sorry, brain fart

Hello. Great work here... again! Hate speaking too soon, but this is better than 2.4 on ext4. I've started over with odin, one clicked, 3.0.0.5 cw, followed instructions, and put on 2.6. Like I said, I hate speaking too soon, but seems to have less or no lag now, after settling in. So, it seems to have the increase in speed I liked from 2.4, but no lag now. So far, so good, Thanks to the hard working, busy OP. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I am going to be starting a new thread with the next release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xodaQo:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since the CWM3 shenanigans (CWM3 is awesome btw) and the CWM3-compatible midNIGHT 2.6 update the themes listed under 2.5 will not work? I'm assuming, therefore, that those are in the works.

Just wondering, because I'm new to this whole Android thing (I had an Epic Christmas) and those midNIGHT themes look awesome.

pftdmedic, you're an awesome dev, I have the utmost respect for you and extend my best wishes for you and your family.

anybody get the news and weather widget from google to work on this rom? i install it but it does not work. would be nice if it came included in rom :)

anyway just flashed this rom and so far liking it. may be using it as my daily

edit

nevermind saw the 3rd party zip on the blog and that worked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
The next release is 2.7 and I have it ready, I have been using it all day without any problems. . This will be CW3 only. Meaning it has the CW3 redirector built in. That also means the only option is EXT4. I'm just sitting on if a bit while I build up the .zips. That way I don't get bombarded with requests....That will most likely mark the end of RFS support. I just want to see how everyone adjusts before pulling the plug. I might post it on Thursday. I will begin a new thread for the evolution of the midNIGHT ROM.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] garekinokami:
You're moving so fast, lol. Girlfriend's Epic is quite happy on 2.6. IT IS FLYING. Good riddance to RFS. It's time to move on and if you can't figure out how to update your recovery and convert to EXT4, there's a Youtube video for that. Somewhere. I saw it once. Really!

Good work on fixing the battery meter issue.

My girlfriend complained about the animations, but, correct me if I'm wrong, the transition animations came with the custom theme, right? I flashed them so it's all on me meanwhile she turned the animations to Some and is quite happy with the speed, the ability to backup with Ti Backup and CW NAND Backup, which were quite buggy when the Epic's custom ROM scene was beginning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
First let me say thanks for putting this together, However the directions are going to confuse a lot of people!

This is all that needs to be done

1.Odin to dk28

2.Intstall cwm3 (includes root as well)

3.Wipe,Wipe,Wipe!!!!!

4.Flash rom

5. Optional (does work!!!) go to restore and b/u then click advanced and restore data. The B/u created in cwm 2.5.x.x ARE Edify so they WILL work w/ the new format.

If you are already rooted and running dk28 then all you need to do is make a b/u then do #2, #3, and #4

No need to odin or reroot.

No need to install ext4 its all included in cwm3. Doing both is redundant and one more thing to screw up.

From the direction we are going Edify and EXT4 are the way of the future for us, like it or not. All devs will stop using rfs VERY soon so its time........ Quit putting it off or get left behind! lol

As for the theme problem as long as you flashed an Edify version it will work fine. Ive tried midNIGHT themes and i am currently running Frozen Emotionless Beast Edify and they work fine.

Apps Are NOT Affected by the change to EXT4, Edify.......Only add on .zips. This will be an issue only for a few days untill they are all ported/converted to edify.

You can in most cases just unzip and extract the .apk and drop it in /system/app on your device by using root explorer. No need to wait for Edify.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
Awesome, thanks for the reply and you are doing some serious work, first it is a snappy ass rom with crazy support and now all your work on converting .zips to the edify format. You sir are a machine, and with all the things you go through in your personal life I admire your dedication to us and your rom but especially to your family...you definitely have my admiration. If you worked for samsung I'm sure we would have Hot Fudge Sunday or HSF(my name for android 2.3 or 3.0) on our phones already lol.

Oh and I'm already on cwm3 and ready to go and for what it is worth I feel like moving exclusively to EXT4 is the right move. Your family is in my prayers and you have my deepest respect and gratitude for all the work you do........
