Awesome, thank you for the quick response.

I used odin to push the dk28 modem, I didn't do the PIT as well. I've read through these posts and some had GPS issues doing the PIT & the modem. Odin turned green and said pass, my phone booted by w/o any issue. I understood i would have to pull the battery and then go to CWM to clear (3 times) and then install midNight 2.5 (which is already on my sd card).

Is it a bad thing if my phone boots ok or is it the PIT+Modem that causes the phone to hang after using Odin to update?

I'm going to the thread you pointed now and following that to get up and running.

Again, ty ..

TWS

While I absolutely love this ROM, am I correct that the Time Without Signal (TWS) at 50% bug still hasn't been fixed? It certainly isnt fixed on my phone. I'm amazed that Samsung leaves this issue unresolved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
just toggle airplane mode or call samsung...those are you two options regarding that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
Thanks. I know about the airplane mode toggle, I'm just amazed Samsung let's this issue linger.

I am hoping that a version of midNIGHT gets released soon that uses the Edify scripts as it is the ONLY dk28 rom that I never got an error when trying to turn on wifi from the notification pull down. Awesome work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
if i do, which launcher will the phone use on first boot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
on first boot it will ask which launcher you want to use, there is a checkbox that allows you to set it as the default, so it doesn't ask on every boot of the phone... you can have 5 launchers installed if you want
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i know that, but if i remove launcher2.apk, are there are any other launchers on the naked version, so that on first boot im given this option?

I have My Backup Pro, I can't restore from the apps and call log and text messages, says could not get backup set. Obviously not a huge deal, I don't have a ton of apps. I already got swype from another post (didn't think i'd like using that as much as I do).

Perhaps my backup pro doesn't play well with EXT4?

Errors

Hi,

I just installed version 2.5 and I'm having some difficulties when installing zips with CWM. Managed to get the system up and running. Apps seem ok so far.

When installing zip from SD card, CWM 2.5.1.0 reports "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log"

In addition, during install, I get

"Opening update package..."

"Installing update..."

"Copying files..."

"E: Failure at line 3:"

"Copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:"

"Installation aborted.

I was installing the midNight theme 3 AOSP EXT4

Same thing happens when trying to re-install midNight ROM 2.5

What happened, and what is the problem??

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
your in the wrong recovery. use the included quickboot to boot into recovery. then do your flashing...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbx097:
Thanks pftdmedic! Glad it was that simple. Awesome ROM, BTW... Sorry for the noob question, but I'm a noob! :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] yakura_c:
I am a newbie and could not get my GPS to lock after going to Midnight-EXT4 here are my steps to get it working ...it works now yes! ..Hopefully this may help someone ..

I can not place links (under 8 posts) but searching/googling will get you everything you need.

1) Odin to stock DI18.tar --> Verify GPS locks

2) 2.5.5 Root with Clockwork Redirect

3) Odin to modem.tar,Dk28.pit --> Verify GPS locks

4) Clockwork into 2.5.2.1

5) Flash Midnight --> Verify GPS locks

6) Clockwork into 2.5.2.1, Reboot Recovery, Clockwork into 2.5.2.2 -->Mount USB

7) Run install-Ext4.bat from PC

8) Clockwork into 2.5.2.2 and Flash Midnight again ..--> Verify GPS locks (Done..Success..GPS working now!)

Thanks ptfdmedic...much appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
for some reason, I'm having rough time installing 2.5 from 2.4...

Everything flashes well but it does reboot loop and doesn't get past the opening animation... any thoughts or help on this matter?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You have nothing to be sorry for. No worries.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Did you flash the theme as well. More details would help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gqxcasanova:
i'm having the same issue. flashed 2.5 and v3 aosp lock theme before reboot. reboot gets stuck on samsung logo. when i use the 3 finger salute to go back to cwm, i can't get to the modded cwm because when i choose to reboot recovery, the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
You have to let the phone boot with the new rom installed before you flash the theme
[Epic 4G Android Development] tru2life:
I have the same issue but did not flash a theme. I was coming from 2.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] gqxcasanova:
any ideas besides odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
yes I installed themes and everything in one go... maybe I shouldn't have as other user stated... I will try this again and get back to ya.

Thanks for the quick response.

Edit: it works!!! thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Went from 2.4 to 2.5 and just installed the v3 theme. I gotta say, I love your work. It not only looks beautiful, but runs smoothly. I can't thank you enough for all your hard work! This rom is lightyears ahead of some of the others I tried.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gqxcasanova:
how did you get back into modded cwm?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
you use the included quickboot or inside clockwork go to advanced and reboot recovery.. You have to let the rom boot up first then you can go back and flash the theme....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Just want to take a sec and say THANK YOU to everyone for the overwhelming response to this rom. I really wans;t sure if anyone would even try my work let alone use it. I have see over 3000 downloads in the last 2 weeks.

Thanks again.

Also I want to say thank you for the most important thing to me personally and that is reading my blog. The kind thoughts and prayers I keep receiving is beyond anything I could have imagined. Autism is something that is very personal to me. Thanks for reading our story and helping spread Autism Awareness.

You guys are all great..
[Epic 4G Android Development] gqxcasanova:
i can't boot up the rom at all. gets stuck at the samsung logo. as for reboot recovery from cwm, it does the same thing and gets stuck at the samsung logo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Now back to business. I have a working midNIGHT ROM and Theme using the new clockwork. I have a few bugs to work out and a writeup I will have to do but it's coming. Tomorrow is a busy day for me so I will probably post something in the late afternoon.

Thanks for your patience..For now please enjoy the current build knowing more is coming in the next 24 hours..

Stupid question: how do I install that swype apk?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
Can I go back and reflash the final kernel? I followed the original steps. I just saw a youtube video on mammons rom and it runs faster. I get lag at times so im wondering if theres something I missed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
swype

Download Astro File Manager from the market, open it (it will be showing you the SD Card files). tap swipe.apk in that list, open app manager, touch install, back all the way out of astro.

Open your phone menu then go to settings, locale and text, under select input method, check swype .. uncheck mtm gingerbread (this is what I did) so swype is always used..

and you're set.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
The final kernel is in the rom you flashed already. You can reflash the rom if you would like. Did you do any type of data restore? you could wipe everything and start from scratch..

[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
The 2.5 ROM is amazing! So fast and everything works perfectly! I finally fixed my GPS issue also and that works like a charm! Thank you so much for all that you do for us EPIC users who have been left in the dark by Sprint!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
By the way, if anyone on here is in the Phoenix Arizona area, last night after flashing this ROM I clicked on my 4G button and Sprint had 4G up and running. I've had this happen before late at night so I think they are testing. It's blazing fast. I was downloading APPS from the market and they were litterally downloading and installing within a matter of 3 to 5 seconds. If that is any indication of how fast Sprints 4G will be when they roll it out here, I just might have some restored confidence :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rogerandgina:
I would like to thank you to whom answered my question.
[Epic 4G Android Development] popularbelief420:
I get all the way to install then it says Application not installed, then you can only click done. I tried with "Unknown Sources" clicked and without it. TBH I like the gingerbread keyboard. I am not quite as fast with it but it's a nice touch to the rom + themes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
swype apk

This is the swipe.apk I used and was able to install via Astro.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
I used the swyperestore in the OP and flashed thru recovery..works flawless
[Epic 4G Android Development] superradrudeboy:
That would be awesome. as of right now on Central Ave in phx i get no 4g. But i will have my friend test it at night for the next few nights to see if we get anything.

Edit: about what time was it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] popularbelief420:
this one worked just fine :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
In the 3rd post of this thread you will find a zip you can use to flash via recovery and safely restore swype.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Does anyone else see this on their EPIC since flashing the midNIGHT 2.5? I noticed that my Sync icon on the top of the screen keeps flashing every few seconds.

I do not have anything set to Auto Sync.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Swipe is lame anyway. If anything I would go with Swiftkey instead.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I noticed mine active from shortly after midnight until I fell asleep at around 4am.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I'll have to check that out, when I first saw swipe I was like, I would NEVER use that. Now I use it all the time. LOL If that is better, I'll give it a go.

Thanks for the tip

[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
For the record, unless and until there is any concrete info or proof to states EXT4 will significantly damage anything I will continue to support it in my ROMS.

That said, the bigger issue for me right now it the move to edify. This is a really big change. I'm not a gifted coder at all but once the transition is through we will all be better for it.

Now that said, I have completed v2.6 and it's ready for release. Everyone needs to understand that by doing this all of the current zips will not work. Everything will have to be remade to work with edify. I don't think it's that big of a deal but I don't want people to flash cw3 and then flash v2.6 and then send me tons of messages that their zips don't work. This is a big change and you need to understand what you are doing prior to doing this.

I have the rom and have been using it all day. I used to GPS to get to our appointment today without any problems. Everything works great and the new cw3 is really much nicer then what we are currently using.

So if anyone is ready to take the plunge then you should go ahead and flash cw3 and get ready cause once I get the kids in bed I will post the links.

Please read this thread very carefully. I'm very serious about this you need to read the thread. I will post the links in about an hour or so. PLease educate yourselves in the meantime and be ready to flash v2.6 later tonight.

While I am beyond grateful for the success of the midNIGHT ROM the sheer volume of people using it was not planned for. I try my best to support as many people as possible. I receive tons of messages for help and I am more then happy to assist. BUt I can already see that an update like this will undoubtedly bring the noobs out of the woodwork. And that's totally cool cause I want everyone that want's to use this rom to be able to do so. But please read about the edify update and please don't bombard me with questions about your zips no longer working. It really is a pretty smooth transition we will have to repopulate the community with compatible zips. That's really the long and short of it. Be aware the this requires EXT4. So I will most likely phase out RFS development simply because they can no longer coexist with edify and clockwork3. CW3 will auto convert to EXT4.

I can't wait to get this up for you guys, so in the mean time please read and get CW3 installed.

I do have 2 themes edify ready as well.....I will work on some apps tonight.

I was on 2.4 (pre EXT4), flashed 2.5 and all OK. I wanted to try EXT4, so I booted into CM, reflashed 2.5, used the CM option to reboot in recovery (2.5.1.2), ran OneClickEXT4.v1.3 from my laptop, which successfully ran all steps in about 4 minutes, reflashed the ROM and the phone is in a boot loop. Started over. This time, I wiped x3 and repeated the process... same results. What am I doing going and what can I do at this point to get out of that mode?
[Epic 4G Android Development] boctok:
I probably already know the answer to this, but on a long shot, I was wondering....

I'm on 2.4 EXT4. To upgrade to 2.5, do I really need to wipe data? I got the phone set up just how I want it and it would be cool if I didn't have to reinstall all the stuff over again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
you should be able to do it w/o a full wipe, just wipe cache then install, But remember to have a good nandroid b/u prior. Just in case!

BTW Id wait for 2.6 later tonight

Also no longer need to install ext4... cwm3 does it for you.

Follow instructions for cwm3 then 3finger your way back to cwm (should be orange)(wipe/wipe/wipe) then just install the rom as usual .

Make a nandroid b/u first!

Worked fine for me, maybe rapidshare was down for a few.

Ive got some scores for the EXT4 CWM 3 and newest midnight ROM for those interested. for optimum performance run setcpu and set to 1000 max and 1000 min with scaling of performance.

RL SQL Benchmark to complete all operations-41.729 sec

Quadrant Advanced-1616

Seems really really fast and hopefully now that we seem to have a solid base developers will just keep romming on what we currently have and go from their until and possibly thereafter the release of FROYO.

I can't install anything either. Remember the phone is just loop booting and my laptop won't see in when in recovery. "adb devices" finds nothing, OneClickRoot CWM3 says "Phone is not connected" and the CM itself on the bottom of the green menu reads "E:Can't open /cache/recoverylog".
