This is not meant to be easiest as it is a 15 step process i believe however,I have found that some people like myself cannot simply dk28 odin and then root as it messes up my method is the only one which works for me and im sure it would fix others errors as well.i have included dk28 extended which fixed a few problems for me and all the required files to instead of jumping head on and creating more problems step to step upgrades which should cause less.if all else it is good just so that people don't have to go thread to thread being even more confused and confused and giving up as i almost did.I have tried all other methods that have been stated however i had to follow and do it my way before it worked figured i would provide it.as for your rfs statement in my method they flash 2.4 and later on flash to 2.6 so ext4 is steadily introduced and once again should provide less errors.

PyRo

*edit* turns out i cannot upload to another website if somebody could for anybody wishing to use it that would be greatly appreciated,i keep getting errors while trying to upload to megaupload.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
No offence meant! This was meant as constructive! The installation of ext is difficult enough w/o adding in the Edify thing.

The Point I was trying to make is, There is no need to do the extra steps to install ext4. cwm3 is the new method to install ext4, the instructions you posted are out of date. The 3 step to ext4 has been simplified and added to cwm3. (1 step Ext4/cwm3)

You can still do 2.4 first then cwm3 then 2.6. Im just saying eliminate the EXT4 instructions as they are no longer necessary.

Regardless installing EXT4 is a waste of time period! cwm3 installs it when you upgrade. dameon put in in there to simplify installation.

Im not a dev and ive only had my epic for a month, but i understand how to do all of this by simply reading, Ive done EVERY single hack,root,rom, and theme possible (because i like to experiment) and the only time Ive used odin was to get the initial dk28 modem. I have yet to brick my phone or have any lockups or problems installing anything Ive tried. And its not because im smarter than anybody here (i dont claim to be) Im not! I just understand what I read... I see MANY here that dont get it. The majority of problems I see are not reading thoroughly, too much bad information, and using the command line. cwm3 eliminates 1 instance of hooking up your computer thus eliminating 1 potential problem.

Again Im not trying to be an Ass, just trying to eliminate steps to make it easier to understand the current changes.

Do whatever makes you happy!

Okay so I did this and everytime I go into the new CM3 I get all these errors. When I try to flash the ROM from my SD card it says.. Cannot mount sd and it just sits there. What did I do wrong?

Edit: Nevermind. Got it working!! THAnks for the all in one zip!!!

pdfmedic?

may i ask why Google Talk is in the data folder?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Does what it says, did a modified version of the 2.4 directions... but somehow got it done, 1625 in quadrant... and linpack... 5.53 mflops in 15.16 seconds...? hmmm... isnt that a little low?

OK Linpack is now 13.991, 5.99 secs... more what I was expecting. Cool... I think it worked... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
ensure you have setcpu installed and set it to 1000 max 1000 min with scaling of performance.

PyRo
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
no setcpu :( gotta buy it... right? but the numbers AFTER everything 'settled in' look good. The file system MUST have changed with that quadrant score, right? Just wondering, followed the instructions for the 'easy' method, but used 2.6 instead of 2.4 and for the CWM3 used Dameon's new method (one click root CWM3), the one redirected to. So I did the usual wipes, (started at bonsai), flashed midnight 2.6, tried to do the one click while in the new recovery, failed, rebooted into the new rom, did the one click there, worked, then re-flashed midnight in new clockwork... so Im good right?? Anywhere I can see confirmation of the new filesystem?? Fast for sure, It just seemed all the devs were moving towards ext4, so I had no choice... still looking for that super stable fast rom, this is good so far... thanks to all involved!

OK so after being really confused as to why I could not get into recovery, I did the older CWM3, as the newer one didnt quite work out (flashed 2.6 first, duh), so anyways, now I have CWM3, but it cant read jack, no nandroid restore, no zips... so im guessing I am on old filesystem with a recovery that is incompatible???? If thats the case, idunno if 2.6 is compatible w/ old filesystem, but its still smokin...

hopefully my favorite norse god comes thru as usual, back to DK28 stock, root, try again, right? (after reading all the instructions and figuring out what is 12 hours old, which on here is decades)... Fun Fun!
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
I am on my phone at the moment however in the ext4 thread in the videos I believe they show you how u can check the file system.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I'm having this weird issue regarding settings not sticking and reverting back to default whenever I switch batteries (I use the external battery charger and just flip flop my batteries).

For instance, I have the haptic feedback turned OFF for SwiftKey, but after I switch batteries and reboot, haptic feedback is turned back ON. Same goes Battery Indicator. I have that set up to run automatically so it shows the battery % up on the notification bar on boot, but after I batt switch it doesn't work. And when I finally open it, it thinks I had just installed it.

So strange...

Anyone else having this issue?

9016 text.

The 2.6 Rom started giving me the 9016 text for some reason. I switched from Midnight 2.3 to Quantum then back to Midnight 2.6. Odin'd, Wiped 9x, and did everything correctly each time. I took PdfMedic's advice from another thread and copied the mms.apk from 2.3 to 2.6 and it works fine now. Not sure if it was just me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Alright... easier than I thought. dropped 2.6 midnight onto SD, Odin to stock dk28, did old one click root (think it was unnecessary), then did new CWM 3.0.0.5, then immediately flashed 2.6... quadrant still over 1600, Linpack 13.977 in 6.0 secs...

So yeah, after reading everything (duh.) I surmised that this is even easier than ptfdmedic's last method... awesome... very excited, this hauls.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Because not everyone wanted it. This way it can be uninstalled if desired.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
2.7 isn't released yet. Which version are you referring to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
But doing this just to get a score is like cheating your math exam. I think that if you let te phone scale it and you run the tests with no added software you can get a good evaluation.

Sent from my Epic 4G powered by midNIGHT 2.5 w/ EXT4 ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
If you have a terminal software on your Epic, like connectbot you can make a connection to Local and once you have connected you should see the Bash prompt "$", at this point you can type su and then type mount, you should see a long list of all the mounting points the phone is handling and if you look at the center of the list you should see the mounting points /data /system /cache /data/dalvik and they should all say ext4.

you can also do the same in adb having the phone connected to the PC, and typing adb shell and following the steps in the top paragraph.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
SetCpu is meant more for custom kernels. We won't really have a use for it until the source drops and we get overclocked and underclocked kernels.

[Epic 4G Android Development] chadit:
Anyone know how I can pull the theme wallpaper out? I love it, but when I switch to show someone a live wallpaper I cannot find it to switch back to. (Talking about the midnight moon static image)

Live wallpapers suck my battery to fast to my liking to keep them for any length of time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sewhuy:
Finally went CW3 and installed 2.6

Took your advice and rebooted after reinstalling apps. Let the phone settle in for a few hours then ran a couple of performance tests. The stuttering is gone and no other issues so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asapelectric:
My thoughts exactly, you said it perfect!
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
I have been using it on all 2.2 roms just to ensure I am getting the most out of my cpu.it seems to make things even a little bit faster as without setcpu in place it performs at less than 1000.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wrasor7:
Can create a zip for just the circle battery gauge without the AOSP lockscreen? TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
WHOAH! That's a BIG jump! Did EXT4 help that much???

Thanks to all those who helped me solve my problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
Not to be rude but you actually quoted the text that tells you not ask for zips in here and shows you where to ask for them at. I'm not a dev just like you but let's try to make things easier for us. Because when threads get clogged it's people like me and you who are confused not the guys who did the work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siiooo:
I have a question sorry if it has been asked already. If I just loaded the CW3 it says it converts already to EXT4 so I shouldnt need to run the ext4 conversion file before loading 2.6 correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] superradrudeboy:
that's right. if you have cw3 you have ext 4.

If you go into CWM3 while on RFS it automatically starts converting to ext4. The next time it Checks ext4 and then lets you continue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siiooo:
Awesome thanks for the quick reply.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
The batt mod is in system/framework-res, no matter which batt mod you install, it will always change the lock screen and some other themeing stuff. The ONLY way it can be done is if the dev made a zip with everything the same except the batt mod..
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
Correct and it will also root for you if you are not already!
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
Wallpaper?

I know this is a silly question, but despite installing 2.6 and the great 3.0 theme, I can't get the cool wallpaper back that's show in the pictures! Can somebody help? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
I have a question... Why is it when I get a voicemail I also get a text? Plus do do your phone just randomly reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Not sure if you are directing that at me...However, he was asking for a theme that I forgot to post to the original post. That belongs here. The other zips are directly tied to my ROM that's why I want them done in the other thread to keep them for flooding this thread. Perhaps I misunderstood you.

EDIT: Sorry I reread a few posts back and I understand what you were saying. My fault. Thanks for looking out,
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I have noticed issues with ADW launcher ex especially after the latest update that causes me to reboot. As far as the voicemail and text thing go it happens if you are using the broken non-bubble mms app instead of the one I included. That's why I don't include it even though I prefer it.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
I installed that Visual Voicemail (edify) you posted and I'm running your ROM aswell. So thats must be whats causing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mictek:
I'm have been getting the texts from the start with the 2.6 rom. I just copied the mms.apk from the 2.3 rom and dropped it in the system/app folder. That fixed my problem. I installed 2.6 a couple times and still had the 9016 text. I'm running the ADW launcher, free version, now and haven't had any reboots yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys I am not getting this problem. I cannot reproduce. The only known issue was with the bubbleless apk......Sorry if I cannot reproduce I can't fix. Are you guys restoring any data....
[Epic 4G Android Development] superradrudeboy:
The text is from sprints visual voicemail feature. You need to make sure sprint is not billing you for that, or you may be running the free trial of visual voicemail text feature..

http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Get_Visual_Voicemail_to_Text/case-gz982789-20101029-155410

I would suggest to call sprint and ask them to cancel that. Some people have complained on other forums that it started on it's own. or it may be something you have agreed to, but not noticed. It has nothing to do with midnight rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Thank you. I hadn't thought of that. I have been going nuts trying to reproduce this. I use google voice so it wasn't easy....
[Epic 4G Android Development] mictek:
It started when I switched to the Quantum rom. When I switched back I had the same issue. Mine is the 9016 text, but I fixed the problem. No worries here. I Odin'd dk28 twice, did full wipes and still received the text. I really don't mind flashing all the time. I'll try Odin, wipe and all and see if it still happens. Thank you for you help and a great rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
Just called... And there not, when it expired on the app. They ask you to sign in to continue with the voicemaill text. They said it wasn't on my bill.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mictek:
I think this is different than the 9016 text. The visual voicemail text is included in the visual voicemail body. You can read it or play it. I don't think it's an additional text.

Edit/Update: I just odin'd dk28 again and installed another fresh copy of 2.6. The only differnece is I checked the vvm on the stock rom and didn't get the 9016 text. Now I don't get the 9016 text on the 2.6 either. Must have been something wierd I did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blkr00t:
The GB Green keyboard (edify) won't install. It complained about the other type of script.

QuickBoot does not take you to CW3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mictek:
I'm such and idiot. It was the gingerbread edify theme I installed that caused the issue. You were right about the bubble text. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
There is no "redirector" for CW3 yet. If you power off and use the "3-finger death grip", it will take you into CW3 without any of the "not found" messages.

Also, if you want a full Gingerbread theme (includes the keyboard) - there is a CW3 friendly theme in the "Apps and Themes" section.

Edit: Oops, just re-read your post. The theme includes the standard black keyboard, not the green one - sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m3lover1:
Just a quick question, I installed the blue market theme, is there a way to uninstall that? Or would I need to reflash entire ROM again?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Very quick and hopefully easy question. Can the Midnight v3 Edify Friendly Themes be added to other ROMs or just Midnight ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Should be able to pull the file out of the ROM you downloaded under /system/app, then put it on you SD Card, then use an app like Root Explorer and copy it to the proper folder on the phone. I think that would be /system/app. Also don't forget to remove the existing market app.

I think the file is called vending.apk, but it can be different if the file was changed by the dev when adding it to the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Just wanted to say thanks for the rom! Got it going and love it. Very very nice, work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Uthman:
Awesome rom, crazy fast, great theme.

Problems with photo cache?

Anybody else having problems with the photo cash on this ROM? Whenever I go back into Gallery or Just Pictures, it has to do a complete rescan of all pictures. Takes forever.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
My gallery works fine.

Maybe if you go into manage applications and manually clear its cache, it will rebuild again correctly (assuming its doing that because its corrupted)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
Yes, you can install the Midnight Theme on other roms. I have done that, and sometimes you will get a mix if they don't have the same items themed, can be interesting.

Also, he has the blue battery seperate on this blog, go there, under Android on right side.

Last, could someone point me to the System/App file? I have tried and tried to figure how to get there to add or subtract, but darned if I can find it. I want to

get AMLauncher out which randomly acts out over my other launchers.

And I will push the Thanks button, keep it simple and if another program needed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
This not true. The CW3 redirector has been included. It has been available for a while now.

where is the browser? lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] fun_gary:
Where am i goign wrong? (upadting to ETX4)

I am running 2.2 leaked EPIC froyo rom with clockwork 2.5..

I downloaded the CW3 one click updater and the Midnight ROM Standard 3.2 rom.

ran the clockwork 3 via console and it went fine, backed up data and reset the FS to EXT4,

cleared all the user data and files multiple times,

renamed the midnight ROM to update.zip and placed on the root of the SD card.

ran update.zip, installed fine,

I'm stuck at the Samsung screen every time...

am i missing a step?

I really want to see if EXT4 is all its cracked up to be!

any help appreciated.

thanks in advance!

DWS
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
same thing happened to me the one time I tried the update.zip thing. but once in Clockwork 3, you can just choose 'install zip from sd card', then 'choose zip from sd card', then select the Midnight rom zip, and you should be good. try that perhaps, and if it doesn't work, you probably need to Odin back to stock DK28 first, then reroot with Clockwork 3, then flash Midnight as I described.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fun_gary:
thanks for the response!

Yeah... i tried updating boith ways. and flashed back to DK28 with ODIN between each.... I don;t know what the problem is for the life of me...

thanks again,

DWS
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
oh damn, ok. I hope you get it figured out. I'm not running Midnight myself, but I figured that's how it should work.

hey gonna try out the 2.8 version but any idea how i can get the samsung swype keyboard back? Thanks

BTW nice work on the rom best one Ive found so far.

Edit: Sorry Im such a noob I hardly even know how to use xda im gonna use your zip file from post 3 like you said for now thanks! :)

Since Swype beta has been released to the public now (as of today), you can just register on the site and download a newer version http://beta.swype.com/
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
How about releasing your themes in the theme section, and maybe a version with blue accents? Please? lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris378:
what is the password to the zip file
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Question though, are we to think that the included version of swype was not specifically tested by Samsung for these GS phones more importantly maybe just for epic. I am not saying it wont work as I know it does, just wondering if the 2.11 version included in dk28 is more stable than 2.15 (beta)?

I could be wrong maybe someone can chime in on this that has tested it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Check the 3rd post :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
If someone attaches a newer version I'll zip it up for you....Uploading the ROM is killing my connection :)

Guys found a bug with the battery gauge. I'm looking into right now but no promises... It's been a really long day...

EDIT: SOmething got screwed up in the theme..I think i have it working but need to test the new ROM and make sure it doesn't bootloop
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Here is the problem. The battery gauge is stuck at 100%. If you flash the ROM and let it boot up and then flash the same theme over top it fixes the problem. I'm hesitant to release it in this condition. I would prefer to just have it working out the gate..I just need to figure out what I missed in the framework....The flashable theme zip works fine. Very weird..
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Password??? I just tried the .zip, and you dont need a password.. Plus, the .zip you have in your post doesnt match the one I posted.... You musta did something wrong... ;-/
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I think I have it fixed. I'm flashing to stock and testing out fix on a clean base just to make sure. I apologize it's taking so long. Once I confirm that it is working I will let you know. Most likely I will let it upload over night and post it in the morning. My connection is extremely slow for some reason and it's taking over an hour to upload...

EDIT: If you guys want to try th e work around I'll post the ROM and FIX. Then I post the full ROM with FIX in the morning....
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Yeah, that would be fine, I dont think we mind a little work-a-round, lol.. Please post the ROM and fix please
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
ROM is up in the 2nd post. Please be aware that this was not intended for final release. But flashing the fix gets you to the same place. PLEASE BACK UP BEFORE FLASHING

Still having problems integrating the theme into the ROM. I get bootloop sometime. But if I load the ROM then flash the theme it works just fine.

Anyone has any ideas let me know. LOL

I left wifi on at 100% battery at 1am and phone was dead when I woke up at 7. I say wifi because I can't imagine what else could have caused that drain. I have not had that problem before. Would always leave my wifi on overnight and maybe have drained 20%. Other than that I love this rom. Love all the ringtones and notification sounds. Anyone else notice standby battery drain? I am going to try for a couple more days. And see if it continues, maybe without wifi on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Maybe calibrate your battery, on 2.0.7 I was able to leave wifi on over night I had something like high 40's and when I woke I had 28% that lasted me half a day.
