The messaging app is the stock Froyo MMS app. Email is what changed...

I will but right now there are to many problems. As it smooths out I will add it...

The FC are fixed my wiping the application data. Settings---Applications---Manage Applications and locate email and wipe the cache. All fixed..... This only happens because the email app changed between builds....
[Epic 4G Android Development] shalea:
OK. It worked this time. I cleared the cache and data. Hopefully I will have no other problems.

Thanks. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
This is a bug thats been around and I would like to know if there is a fix.

Every once in a while I would try to activate my wifi and it stalls and fails, in fact, I have to reboot the phone in order to get it working again. Everything ese: 3G, 4G & BT works fine but the wifi just cant turn on until reboot.

After reboot, it works flawless for hours and even past sleep. I've seen it happen in DK28 and I would like to know if anyone has something to do for this.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbx097:
Worked like a charm... Thanks a lot for you your help!! Much appreciated! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyderfry:
Hey Rob. Great ROM. Been running smooth and fast for 24 hrs with moderate/average usage and just now plugged in with 17 ticks left, so it it could have gone a bit more I'm sure. Thanks for the work.

I've also been following your blog. You can count on a few more prayers from our family to yours. You are an inspiration to me as a father and husband. Thank you for sharing your story.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JustinLoe:
Just wanted to say thanks for the great work. Not to be an emotional downer itt but as an individual who's family member committed suicide dealing with autism spectrum, I feel for you and your family, wish you the best, and will donate for your great work that allows my phone to breath freedom. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
New ROM is up. Please note you need to have EXT4 installed prior to flashing this ROM. Instructions in the 2nd post.

This is how I installed the EXT4:

ODIN back to DI18 and let it boot. Then ODIN DK28 (NOT THE EXTENDED VERSION). Then do the 1click root with clockwork redirect. Then Boot into clockwork and flash the quantum 2.5....Reboot and it will stick at the Samsung screen. Pull battery and boot into clockwork. Go to advanced and select Reboot Recovery. Now you should be in the new recovery. Plug the phone in via USB and run the Install bat from your computer. When it finishes flash the kernel and the reflash quantum 2.5. Then reboot. Once booted download quickboot and then boot into recovery (make sure you are in the new recovery ends in a 2) then wipe data/cache and dalvik x3. Flash midNIGHT v2.2 EXT4 and wipe the caches when down but not data. That should be all you need to do.

I cannot offer much support with install the EXT4. I can share how I did it. Please see the original thread for support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I have had a really long and emotionally draining day. I got this up for you guys tonight while I had some peace and quiet. I am going to go to bed. If you need help and support installing the EXT4 please see the original thread here.

Once you get EXT4 installed the rest is really easy. Good Luck and Please THANK Dameon87 for his OUTSTANDING work. Wth out his hard work this would not be possible.

Thanks Dameon87

Good Night
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sean Hicks:
This happened to me. I used fast reboot widget to kill it, and went to wifi via settings menu, and activated it this way. That's the only way I got it to work. The power control button messed it up always
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Is there anyway to install the google car mode, live wallpapers, and desktop clock that were removed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I'll post a zip in the morning. The livewallpaper was the weird one where images scroll across the screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itsthen:
Thanks for such a great rom. Is there anyway you could post a .zip to the samsung messaging and email when you get a change? TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i did the ext4 mod and installed the Quantum rom. i have issues with the email. how do i flash this rom now, any odin needed, or just data wipe and than flash? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Thanks a lot for all your hard work. I've been trying to find a good rom and with just 20 minutes of getting this rom installed and seeing how smooth it runs i'm impressed and on top of that my gps is working perfectly. Before for some reason it would drop every 10 minutes and then wait 1 minute to get gps signal again during navigation. It was weird.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Prince_Basil:
Quick question for anyone really. What is EXT4? And why is it so popular now? I just keep seeing it in a few threads.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blu9987:
Is the data govenor killer in this rom as well? And will the putter-backer work with ext4? Also will your midnight theme work with it?

and EXT4 is a filesystem format *nux based systems use. I'm not super familiar with it but from what i gather you get faster read/write and devs may get some more abilities while programming(i think atleast)

The phone loads everything quicker and smoother. I'm really impressed with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman0900:
This happens to me at times too, on 2.0.9. I am able to get wifi working again by doing the following. Open settings, turn on airplane mode. Go to wifi menu, wait til it changes from grayed out "turning on" to "error", this should happen quickly. Then click to turn on wifi. Wait for it to connect, then turn off airplane mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I put the data gov back into place. ANd the themes should work just fine...

Thanks for the support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Just wipe and flash midNIGT v2.2 EXT4. You could also try wiping te application cache. Be sure to use the quickboot I included to boot into recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kinglegz:
do i wipe data cache and davlik or just data
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Wipe Data/cache/dalvik x3 prior to flashing my ROM. After flashing wipe cache/dalvik x 3 and reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Just boot into cwm thru quickboot, wipe data/cache/dalvik 3 times and flash this rom, then reflash the kernel again. Make sure your flashing the latest kernel cuz there was one that was having issues with the batt charging when off...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
For anyone having issues with downloading stuff from market, here's a fix that should work everytime. Go to menu> settings> applications> manage apps> select menu> then select filter> select all- from there, scroll down to download manager, and clear data, then scroll down more til you come to market, and clear cache. Then go to the market and download away... be sure not to have any apps from the market trying to download at the time of this fix, cuz if yu do, it won't work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Thanks again for all your help.....This is working really well. I look forward to a more stream lined EXT4 install so more will try it... On my Fascinate it was an update.zip and that was it. I'm sure we will see that soon.

There doesn't seem to be much interest in this so far. Maybe people are nervous about the process? It's totally worth it guys. This is a very REAL performance fix. Not like EXT2 or EXT3.... Go for it.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:
Contradictions

ptfdmedic,

First off, thanks for your hard work. Next, I am not understanding your directions. You first say "YOU MUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS THREAD PRIOR TO FLASHING THIS ROM." But directly below the top directions which takes you to Dameon87 instructions you provide what seems to me to be a different set of instructions when you say "This is how I installed the EXT4:"

I am currently back to stock 2.1. Which set of directions should I be using or am I just misunderstanding?

Thanks in advance,
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Can you flash one of your themes over 2.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Update for all trying to get ext 4 to work. I followed the instructions in OP and when i used quickreboot to get back into recovery it just froze at the samsung screen. I pulled battery and tried to reboot into recovery from advanced options in CWM and that also got me stuck at the samsung screen. I'm using odin to go back to di18 and then dk28. Going to try the method from the OP Ext4 thread instead.
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
I noticed that in the OP ext4 thread it has the prepare.zip install step but the midnight rom does not, is the prepare.zip not needed for midnight rom?

Edit to my previous posts:

Followed the OP EXT4 thread instructions and the last steps that worked was to install MidnightRomext4 and then i installed the Kern-dk28ext4.zip file through recovery. Worked perfectly.

Steps I did that worked

1. Odin di18

2. Odin dk28

3. flash clockword recovery

4. Copy the two zip files from the OneClickEXT4 directory in the first step, and place them on your SDCard (You can use adb push, usb mass storage, or an sdcard reader)

5. using ADB reboot into recovery

6. Flash prepare.zip

7. reboot into recovery again from CWM "advanced" --- "reboot recovery"

8. using adb make sure with the command "adb devices" you see your device show up. If it doesn't disconnect the usb cable and reconnect.

9. now just double click the install-ext4.bat file - It will go through a long process of installing ext4.

10. Reboot into recovery again using "advance" options in CWM (ClockworkMod)

11. Wipe data/cache/dalvik x3

12. Apply midnightromext4.zip

13. Reboot into recovery again using "advance" options in CWM (ClockworkMod)

14. Apply kern-dk28ext4.zip

15. reboot to system

Some of my steps may be redundant but it worked for me.

Testing rom speed now... will give update later.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Im gonna wait a week or so before flashing this, I don't want to re-odin if something goes wrong, it took me a while to get my GPS working on DK28 lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
For those not able to get adb to work this way is a workaround. Sniperkill posted this in the original thread and it works really well. It's how I got ext4 installed. This is a one time process similar to rooting. Once you are done with the install you can flash any rom with EXT4 support...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
hollisjamison,

This step-by-step is what people needed. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
If you read the original thread you'll find there are 2 ways to accomplish the install. I copied what I found to be the easiest way and pasted those instructions. If you are comfortable using abd then you can follow the original instructions. Either way gets you to the same place....Which ever way works for you is fine. The install can be a pain in the ass but it only has to be done once.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Yes you can.....Let me know if you run int problems but I haven't
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Awesome instructions. :) More detail than mine. You rock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Is it possible for me to pull the car dock and desktop dock clock from the 2.1 midnight rom and just copy them into /system/apps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I am really glad it worked for you. Make sure to go go into spare parts and crank up the animations and transition speeds. The phone flies...

Thanks for the update. As I said the initial install can be a bit messy but once it's done it is totally worth it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Here you go.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Thanks So Much. This completes my dk28 upgrades. :) FYI to everyone this ROM is insanely fast especially with ext4. WOW
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Car dock works but the desktop clock is only working if i launch the app from the app drawer. Is there a way to make it launch when I press on the Time"typoclock widget"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Just a couple questions as I'm new to this ROM (the ext4 support is what enticed me :) ) sorry if they're repeats

Does the kernel support setcpu or overclock widget? (Basically does the kernel overclock/undervolt?)

And for those who have this installed with ext4, how's the battery life? Compared to say baked snack? (Always given me the best batt life)

Thanks in advance

Sent from my baked and emotionless SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman0900:
There's no overclock/undervolt for any froyo kernels yet since we don't have the source from samsung.

As for battery life, I can't say for ext4 (about to install that now), but of all the froyo roms I have tried, this one seems to give me the best battery life. I've never tried any 2.1 roms, so nothing to compare to there. I wouldn't assume ext4 would make much difference on battery life, but I will soon find out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Ahh I didnt realize that. Thanks for the speedy reply. Let me kno if there is indeed a difference in ext4

I have an inkling that it might improve considering that since its generally faster than rfs, the phone should be working less, if anything in at least in terms of time spent processing and writing/erasing memory...also considering ext4 is more modern, its more efficient, especially with modern devices like this phone, so that efficiency might translate to the battery. This all speculation of course lol

[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Just wanted to report (for those of you out there that may be on the fence about EXT4) that I've been using v2.2 with EXT4 file system since last night and everything seems to be working great. One thing to note, once you get the ROM up and running, you will need to install any themes, etc through the new recovery screen. Currently this screen can only be accessed using either the included "quickboot" app or by the 3-button method into the old recovery, then selecting "advanced" then "reboot recovery".

Nice job as always ptfdmedic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JustinLoe:
I know it's not anyones responsibility but my own that my phone is ****ed atm. But If anyone can help i'd greatly appreciate it; i'll be on aim "SwedishBW".

Ext4 went fine untill I tried to load rom, and it fails to install rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman0900:
Just set up ext4 and installed 2.2, and so far so good. From my short time with it, it does seems faster, even the initial boot-up was surprisingly fast. Also, restoring my apps through Titanium has been much faster. As in about 5-7 minutes vs. over a half hour with 2.0.9 and rfs. Overall, it just feels faster, and I haven't noticed any new problems yet.

Update: 1591 quadrant score
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Finally the battery last amazing with this rom and I can have any amount of widgets and 130+ apps with no lag. I'm amazed at how ext4 is so fast. only thing not working is when my phone is powered off the Battery Charging Icon just stays frozen. No biggie though. :) Everything else works so fast. WOW. You can basically put any LWP any amount of widgets and nothing is slow. I can open/close apps instantly. If anyone wants their phone to have the max performance that it can then you have to install ext4 and this rom. Currently messing around with new ADW EX launcher as well and it is smooth as heck. Thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Odin is your friend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Pftdmedic found a problem. I rebooted like 5 times and did nothing special and now for some reason my battery icon has disappeared.... I tried to reflash the midnight theme and it still doesn't show. Any advice how I could get it to work without redoing the entire ext 4 process? :( I love the battery mod. Would hate to have to use battery time instead.

Update: It doesn't show the Charge Battery Icon but will show the Battery percentage once I disconnect the charger. So weird....anyone else have this problem with ext4 and midnight rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
question: i have another rom now with ext4 working. after i wipe all and install the new rom, do i need to install DK28-EXT4Kernel-FINAL after that? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
Thats what worked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itsthen:
anyone else having issues with their visual voicemail?

i keep getting the dreaded 9016 texts...

any idea how i can fix this? thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
If you already have EXT4 installed just wipe the data,cache and dalvik x3 and flash the rom.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
Flash kernel too?

You can view the midNIGHT ROM v2.2 EXT4 in action at my blog.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boctok:
Can you install a ROM with Odin? I ran prepare.zip, worked fine, got the .2 version, but when I tried to install the ROM, I keep getting

E: Failure at line 3: copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

:confused:

I rebooted recovery, but then noticed it reverted back to .0 version. Tried reflashing prepare.zip, but I get the same error:

E: Failure at line 2: copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

:D Odin'ed back to stock and then tried again. Seems to be doing okay now. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
I ran into the same problem but it turned out I was in the old recovery.

Sent from my Emotionlessly Bonsai'd Epic 4g.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JustinLoe:
Yes, you'll need to boot into download mode, install a factory dk28.tar with odin then root again.

Did you run the batch file after prepare.zip? My mistake was rebooting after running the batch file. Just load the rom after you run bat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:
These instructions ROCK!

Thank you so much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
If midNight rom rocked before, now its a Volcano! OMG this rom is fast now with ext4 support, guess Sammy has to cut the crap about RFS and stop drifting apart from what Linux really is!

Stock Email App not working

Gmail works just fine but the stock email app does not work with Exchange. I keep getting "Unable to open connection to server" error.....

Will the stock email app work and if so where can i find it?

Thanks for everything in advance!

my phone is flying past those Evo's

EDIT:

Just tried to install the stock email APK and it would not work so I kept pushing next again and again and finally the Exchange email worked... how i do not know but YAHOO!

my phone is flying past those Evo's! hehe, its an inside joke with my loser Evo friends!

6) Uncheck "F. Reset Time" again, and hit the PDA button and select "sph-d700-dk28-8g-rel.tar.md5" No pit needed. Press start, give it a minute.

How long does this normally take? Odin has been stuck on <ID:0/004> param.lfs for about 20 min.

Edit:

Nevermind, read the wiki, restarted it with a pit file, worked fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
Thanks for releasing the EXT4 version so quickly. When I went to look on the first page for the Swype Restore, it had been taken down. Is there any way you could return it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
To be honest with everyone, I don't think its necessary to odin back to DI18 at all. The main requirement is to have a DK28 ROM that includes CW Redirect.

These were the steps I performed to the T. to get ext4 and midNight 2.2 working:

Note: I came from midNight 2.1.1 w/ CW Redirect, so I have root and DK28 applied already. I also have a computer running Windoze 7 32bit with Sam$ung drivers and ADB working and registering correctly the phone, so with those assumptions we start:

Note 2: This tutorial assumes you want midNight 2.2 installed

1. Download version 1.4 of the OneClick EXT4 MOD.

2. Download version midNight 2.2 w/ ext4 support

3. Decompress the OneClick ext4 MOD zip file in C:\ext4 folder

4. Following the instructions from the OP @ the EXT4 MOD thread I copied the Kernel and the prepare zip files to the phones SD Card (rood directory, not in a sub folder), these files are located in c:\ext4 (following this tutorial)

5. Copy midNight 2.2 w/ext4 support ROM to the SD Card (rood directory, not in a sub folder)

6. Disconnected my phone from the USB cord.

7. Load a command prompt window with Admin privileges (on Win 7: click start and on the search bar in the bottom type CMD and on the search results above right click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator, then click OK on the warning)

8. In the command prompt window type cd \ext4 and press [ENTER]

9. Connect the phone to the USB cord

10. Type adb reboot recovery and press [ENTER]

11. The phone will reboot to CW, then flash prepair.zip

12. After the flash is complete, disconnect the USB cord, and reconnect it.

13. Type adb reboot recovery and press [ENTER], the phone will reboot and you should see version 2.5.1.2 on CW recovery.

14. Disconnect the USB cord, and reconnect it.

15. In the command prompt type install-ext4.bat and press [ENTER], this process may take some minutes

16. After completion, flash midNight 2.2 using CW

17. After completion, flash KERN-DK28EXT4.zip

18. Disconnect the phone from the USB and reboot.

After this you are free to install software and themes.

If anyone needs help, let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
rename the file and get rid of the MD5 so that it just ends in .tar and it should work.

EDIT: I'll also mention for anybody that was confused like I was, when you're in Clockwork 2.5.1.2, you use the back button to go back in the menus as there is no longer a **go back** option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drastic25:
what i did was download newer version of odin 1.61 and it worked didn't had to rename the file ...saw your post after i finished..thanks aways
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
This is on page 1 post #13. Works as long as you flash from new recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
OP, great job on this ROM. After trying a couple, I"m sticking with MidNIGHT. The battery life is OUTSTANDING on this one. I have one tiny request for your next theme update. Could you include a charging battery icon? I just feel like something is missing when I plug it in and there is no battery icon in the notification bar :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckenheimer:
This appears to work for a little while but since I'm moving along with you on the reformatted file system, I'm chancing this will remove the gremlins. I'm new to the crowd but fast on the uptake yet move like the turtle. <G>
