Sort of messed up

Help! I am a complete noob trying to install this ROM and I accidentally skipped a step or two. I am still running a rooted DI18 with no other mods. Last night I downloaded and accidentally loaded the one click root and CWM3. I did not do the 3 finger reset yet though, because I know I messed up. Can someone give me some guidance as to where I should go from here?

Can I safely Odin to DK28 from where I am, then re-do the CWM3, then Midnight ROM?

Thanks in advance!

Chris

You will not get the OTA on a custom rom....

yep use odin to dk28 and then follow the procedure on the first page....when on DI18 get a lock with gps and then odin DK28...will save you headaches with GPS...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
Thank you. I was in a hurry before leaving for work, thinking I could get it done in just a few minutes.

As far as the OTA update, I think I'd rather wait for a new Midnight ROM.

hello all. I'm running this ROM & love it, but I got an update for Facebook from the market. when I tried to update it, it was unsuccessful.

any thoughts?? should I uninstall the FB on the market? I really like the black FB that's w/this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gowind:
can any one gimme a solution for this. i donno wether its a bug or something to do with the settings...

im using launcher pro and in the app dock, when i turn the phone from landscape to portrait and vice versa, for a second all my icons overlap and stays at the top left part of the screen leaving the entire remaining screen blank.

this happens for a sec before they rearrange themselves. any solution.

and by the way medic i must tell u that if u start making your own mob OS, it would just blow off the likes of android, ios and others, man u are an awesome creator and an awesome human being.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] unxguyjr:
If you want OTA you will have to ODIN back to stock rom...or wait a few day for great custom ROM like midNIGHT to update to latest release and flash like you been doing.

to anyone that wants to help,

i odined back to dk28 and installed cwm3.

i then tried to install the midNIGHT rom 3.3 and when it boots it has the stock sprint screen with a sideways "android" over top of it being very choppy.

but then when it boots i get a bunch of the force close vibrates and it wont do anything.. i have tried this a few times. anyone care to help?:confused:

Flash Midnight again. Happened to me too, reflashing 2 more times fixed it for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
I just had this happen as well, exactly as mentioned. However, I just went back and cleared all 3 of the cache locations 3 times (under advanced, and then I think its Dalvin cache). I forgot about the Dalvin cache the first time. I Then went through the flashing process again and it worked fine. At least it has so far.

Just so you know, this was my first attempt at flashing with Android and its still completely strange to me, so take this info with a grain of salt.

Battery Life

My battery life has not been a issue so far until 3.3. I have flashed on every Midnight upgrade for a while now. Also, I have been flashing 3 different Epics along the way. Mine is sort of the test bed before I flash the other two. Needless to say, the other two are still on 3.2 currently because I am like some of the previous posters. I am getting around 8 hours over 4-5 charge cycles since upgrading to 3.3.

Thanks Ken.

Random Restarts

All,

I love this rom! I love the customization, speed, and simplicity. I was using 3.1 for before I upgraded to 3.3. I'm not sure if others are having this issue but my phone, since yesterday, randomly restarts itself.

If you are having the same issues, what is it and how do I fix it?

If this question was asked earlier in a previous post, I'm sorry for the re-post!

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
So just out of curiousity, a question for Medic or any other dev on here: Is it possible to realease a new ROM with just having the source code or is the OTA release needed as well? Just asking as someone curious about the developing process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Valnomien:
thanks ptfdmedic
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
be sure to wipe 3X before the flash too, old data and settings will cause major havoc.

Force Reboots

Hey I just wanted to comment and let you know that your roms are pretty impressive. I like most of them, except for the latest build 3.3... For some reason on the latest release my phone keeps force rebooting. I've tried multiple flashes and still the same. I've been on 3.2 all day and none of these problems. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:

i updated the task manager that came pre installed in the rom and what happens now is force closes.

the task manager force closes if i chose options like package and summary. any idea how i can fix it or how can i reinstall the preinatalled version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Sorry for the absence... A couple of things.. As far as the source much better developers then me will be digging into that. We really need the ota from Monday before we realy see any new roms.

As far as the reboot goes it's quiet frustrating for me as well. I don't personally have that happening to me but I know quiet a few of you are. I seems to vary from phone to phone. Some people have it and some don't. My wife and I are running identicle setups and she has seen the reboot 2 or 3 times now and I havent . She ends up in a bootloop and has to reflash.

Hopefully we will see these issues gone after the ota hits....

Lastly, I was contacted by Samsung today. They are reaching out to some of us developers. I just want everyone to be open minded because Samsung is currently looking to foster, encourage and support the developers here at XDA. Other manufactures cough cough, HTC, cough Motorola cough cough are doing all they can to lock us out. Good things will come of this. But we need to keep the trolls and flamers in check (not that any of my users are among them). We have a great opportunity to work with Samsung and build on our already amazing development community.

Thanks for your continued support
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gowind:

Woah waitaminute, We're talking a Samsung-backed Midnight ROM?? Can this day get any better?

btw I am decidedly NOT getting any force closes whatsoever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Samsung is reaching out to some of the developers here. They want to partner with xda. There are far more talented developers here then me and I am very aware but I'm learning.

I just wanted you guys to know that Sammy is wanting to not only fix the problems of the past but build a unique partnership with everyone that uses this site.. So please just know this is going on and give Samsung credit for their efforts..

That's all I was trying to say. There is lots of doubt going around about Samsungs dedication to it's customers. I think everyone has seen enough of me and my story to know that I'm pretty honest. So I was just wanting to help spread some hope to you guys about the future of rom development on Sammy devices. It's definately looking brighter and brighter...

That's it... :) now let's focus on the earily part of this week.... We just need the OTA to hit....

Pretty cool feature being able to have double landscape on this ROM. What did I do to enable this?

Also Quadrant scores around 1900, is this about what everyone else is seeing?

Sorry to hijack from the direction you guys were going, I just don't know where else to put it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Quadrant has been between 1900 and 2100 consistantly for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
I've tried searching around for this, but I'm not finding anything. I was reading through the Viperrom thread and someone mentioned something about the 15% camera disable feature that is in that ROM. Is that something that could be added in the midNIGHT rom? Or, is there a way to disable that manually? I have 4 batteries and I use the camera a lot, least of my worries is my battery dying. Its pretty frustrating when that 15% thing happens.

Also, keep forgetting to mention, every time I boot up after I unlock the AOSP, a message pops up saying "Sorry! The application DRM content (process com.sec.android.providers.drm) has stop unexpectedly." Is this bad and/or should I worry?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:

Wow, about time they recognized why the android market share is booming. It is more about the open-source aspect and what developers of ROMS, Themes and Kernels do, than the hardware android runs on.

Glad to see it!! XDA and sites like it (there are tons now) are really the heart beat of this OS and the buzz these sites create around android has driven it forward, Apple and MS are watching the little driod's tail-lights as it zooms away.

Thank you Rob for all you have done. Your users have a passion for your work and we GREATLY appreciate you and your family, here is hoping Sammy does something nice for you and yours!!!!!

Can someone else confirm this but

When you wipe x3 now you get constant FC's

(its something to do with LaucnherPro)

but if you flash over another build everything is good.

[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Who knows the BEST way to reach out to Samsung and support their move to work with XDA?

That would be a wonderful thing. Not being able to use the camera when the battery is below 15% is beyond stupid. 5% maaybe. If there is a workaround I'd be overjoyed to learn it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
For those with Issues flashing the ROM, please read

If you are getting a sideways android logo on install and/or any problems, this is what i personally did and i'm fine. i flashed the 3.3 rom. i rebooted into cw3. i went to midnight extras folder and flashed the midnight standard zip file. also, swype, google apps, stock MMS, voice search, and gingerbread kb. i have swype and gingerbread keyboards as options. this step seemed to resolve my issues. just so you know, i reflashed the 3.3 rom a few times until i was fine. so, if you continue to have issues, unzip a different combo of items. pay attention to the fc message if you get one. i had one with voice search couldn't open, so i unzipped voice search in the midnight extras folder and i was good from there.

for battery life issues, wait a good week until you start your benchmark. if it doesn't improve, the hopefully released 2.2 update on monday should help resolve these "issues". my battery life is decent. i think it'll get better as the rom "settles" in.

hopefully this post helps some of you.

here is my post to do everything to get the rom on your phone from stock dk28 to a full working flashed 3.3 rom-

No apologies necessary Bro. The basic foundation of all custom roms is flawed by nature. The direction you're headed in is gonna yield fantastic results when you (and other devs) have the official in your hands. Thanks for all ya'll do.

I have to say that yes there has to be a huge bug in dk28 cause I was having the reboot issue when I went to midnight 3.0 but I didn't have the issue with 2.92 for some reason lol.

I also have to say that there has to be a huge bug in the core of dk28 that eats the battery like crazy for most ppl me included. I am saying this because I went back to stock eclair to be ready for the ota till the new roms are ready and this is what I get in battery life.

Battery since unplugged has been on for 1d 2h 12m 20s with the following usage. Cell standby 30%, voice 25%,phone idle 22%, display 21% and android system 2%.

Hopefully with the official release this bug would be gone in the new roms. For those who say that they get great battery life with the current roms can you post what your usage is to compare? Or maybe give your ideas on what it might cause for most of us to have a big battery drain where others don't?
