Ack I dont have twitter.

But I wanted to thank you for making 3.2 Standard. I wasnt big on the BYOB of Roms, although I appreciated the Idea. To me, what makes Midnight, well Midnight...is the customization you add to the end product :)

I'm sending my 3rd donation ever now :) Thanks again for everything you do....and all the best from my family to yours, especially with the surgery coming up for your wife.

Anyone know how to get thw stock email working? I flashed the email and mms zip and all I hey is a fc when I try opening it

EDIT.. nevermind.. I had to clear the data first

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G Android Development] vpka007:
midNIGHT man thank you for the standard edition.

Good Luck this week.

Sent from my midNIGHT Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
Dont really see or feel the difference, about time you load everything you need... It's the same RAM, plus you can't boost your 4G ( get into the menus ) So I'm going back. Plus somebody did this. I think
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
No offense but did this make sense to you when you were typing it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Here's the thing. I am spread across like 5 sites because I am trying to help as much as I can. I don't mind doing that but XDA and PPCGeeks are the most active. I want to utilize twitter for as much as I can. I will also update XDA and PPCGeeks as well. This is more for those that want more info and use one of the less active sites. No worries.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
I'm saying it seems to be pointless to do the clean ROM... When you load everything you need back on ( MEANING ) if you want my file you have to load the whole pack that comes with it. A long with any other thing you want damn near, your back where you started.... At your older release with the same RAM size you. So I don't see the point. ( REAL TALK ) When your right back where you started on the old release. POINTLESS

Make a KERNAL that we can OC or something
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
i just wanted to say i love this rom... the first time ive ever been able to get 24 hours plus of battery on my phone. plus it works phenomenally. keep up the good work. i will be donating soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Calm down man. He's taking the time to make this rom, he as anyother person deserves respect. I understand some aggravation but don't take it out on the wrong people.

And the Source to make an OC Kernel on DK28 isn't even around, but you as a user on this site are welcome to try if it's what you feel needs to be done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Amazing, my phone is working so good now, I really don't care if we get the official release or not. Great work. And just know that allot of people will be praying for you and your wife on Wednesday.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
He's not making the ROMs... But I feel you, I was running a flawless ROM and went to the new release and ran into ( Not being able to boost my 4G ) But its cool... Your right, GREAT WORK!
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
You know with everything Medic does for us for FREE, with children mind you, i cant beleive you would come at him like this. Im calling BS. You should appreciate Medic even doing this to make these ****ty phones work right. FU man
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Simmer silly little mens, no need to be hostile.

If you're going to be active in this community, your feedback is welcome, whether you're reporting good or bad, both are valuable to the devs.

But, if you're going to be a tool, then you might as well keep your mouth shut.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
so does the 3.2 come with any major changes to 3.2 besides being able to flash all your own things? because if not i think ill just stick with 3.1 for now. its running flawlessly
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
WOW... Release dude its not that serious to be talking llike that to me, I'm not about to cyber fight with y'all I was just giving my opinion... So chill lax dude. And if you was in my face you wouldn't be taking to me like that so don't take every thing you read online PERSONAL... Have a nice day.... PERSON
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
sorry man that just rubbed me the wrong way cuz medic is such a gr8 person an all, and what he does for everyone.

On a different note: Has anyone had problems sending a picture or video message with the byor3.2? I can send regular text just fine but when i try to attach a pic or video i keep getting errors and it just keeps sending and nothing ever goes through. If there is a fix please let me know. Im about to try flahing the standard 3.2 and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Awesome rom, 3.2 is very fast.

The best I have seen in Quadrant is 2107 with everything running normal (skype, k-9 mail, facebook, handcent, widgets, golauncher and so on), I would post an image but I guess I have not posted enough yet.

Average in quadrant is around 2000 and it rarely gets under 1950.

Battery life so far has been great, average around 12 hours with medium-heavy use.

All in all the best rom I have used yet and have not encountered any bugs or glitches! Great job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jvjidNite:
The keyword in your entire post is IF. What if this and what if that. Some people don't want My files...some don't want voice search.... some may not even want the browser for whatever reason. Medic was using this as an expiriment. He is trying his best to please everyone... he even went ahead and released a standard edition for those who were unhappy with the BYOR. I know you probably didn't mean it in a bad way but there are other ways to say things... just have more respect. Especially for someone with a situation as medic.... :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Considering that I having a really bad day and not feeling well I'm gonna assume that you don't mean to come off that way. I DO MAKE THE ROM. Everyone starts out with a base rom. I have chosen to use bonsai (HUGE PROPS AGAIN TO MAMMON88 AND RANDY_T). There are ROM's out there based on midNIGHT as well. It takes an unbelievable amount of time to put these together. The build Your Own ROM Edition is NOT pointless. It allows COMPLETE freedom. You can choose what you want in your ROM. Perhaps I cut to deep into it this time but it's the closest we have to a kitchen. You can always edit the ROM zips prior to flashing but for newer users this is the easiest way.

Do a little research before demanding things like "over clocked kernels". I'm giving you the best I'm able to with what is available. I'm trying to provide for as many people as possible. If you don't like it or prefer another ROM more power to you. I don't ask for anything in return for my work accepts becoming Autism Aware but a bit of respect would be nice. WOW did that rub me the wrong way or what........
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
people like you shouldn't be on here....

Learn to appreciate all the hard work and time that Devs/themers put into thier work.

They are NOT PAID to do this.

Don't blame Medic for your stupidity,and don't get smart with Meetloaf who was just trying to end it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wudstock54:
I see intelligence is running rampant in here tonight. Great work and great roms from a great husband and father. You owe no one an explanation or certainly no defense of your work. As someone who uses this platform as an escape from the daily grind, both mental and financial, of cancer and the resulting emotional issues I can understand your being piXXed but just blow it off. It usually is the other way around, HE wouldn't be talking face to face in that tone. As always I'm praying for you and your family. Remember my wife as well please. Sorry for the dirt road off the paved topic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys,

First off I appreciate the warm fuzzy comments along with CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I'm sorry I even responded to the comments made. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I'm a people pleaser so I have a hard time knowing someone isn't happy. That said, I'm over it.

The midNIGHT ROM won't be a good fit for everyone. I know that. I also know their are more skillful developers out there as well cough cough, mammon88 and Randy_T,Viper Team,Dameon87,noob cough cough. I have learned a great deal in the last few months.

When I first got my Epic I couldn't wait to get into developing. I started out small and gained a great deal of knowledge. I decided to share what I was doing as a means of contributing to the community. But honestly my main goal was to bring attention to Autism. I wanted to spread Autism Awareness and that was it really. I never dreamed it would take off like this. I want to thank everyone for supporting my journey into developing as well as following my family's story.

This is a great community and I think we should just move passed this little hiccup and keep working to improve this community.

On a side note I may put up a poll on the blog to gauge the response to the BYOR Edition. I think I cut to much out on this 1st try but I think it's a good idea. I don't want to put the effort into it though if you guys prefer the pre-built version.

Thanks for everything.....

Here is my new profile pic.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Great to see you over here. Your words are wise as usual my friend. Thank you for everything and know your wife is ALWAYS in our thoughts and prayers. Oh and you are too..... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
is there a download for the fascinate calendar?

and what are the bonsai fixes??
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
byor verdict.

Hey medic i have flashed both the byor and the standard and i personally like the standard because i think i messed up on my part and i had a couple of things not working like the mms picture and video thing on the byor version. After flashing the standard everything is flawless and working fine. Thank you for all you hard work and know my family's prayers are with you and your family.

By the way good luck this week man...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It's in both v3.2 releases already. You can pull it from there. If you can't then send me a message and I make a zip for you.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmriggin:
It's a real shame when the trolls come into the threads and complain about other peoples work instead of contributing themselves. Really sad when their boredom selects a target where they know they will get a response.

I've been rocking every midNIGHT release and will continue to. Excellent work and I'm totally amazed and thankful that he has been able to make any time available for us. The world is a better place with you in it. Thanks for raising awareness and sharing your story and time and pain with the rest of the world. I wish you and your family nothing but the very best!

blue market?

Hey medic everytime i flash the blue market it never works for me. The only time it has ever worked was when I was on v2.9. I flashed it on the new v3.2 standard and it worked BUT I went into the blue market and when i came out of the market it turned green again. Why is this happening? Do you have a fix or a solution? thanx man
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
There is a list of the bonsai fixes in the bonsai thread. But the blue tooth and pandora fix as well as scripts and battery optimization.

Anyway here is the Fascinate Calendar. Be prepared to wipe calendar data if you get fC's....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
let me know if you got my messages... i sent two, but im not sure they went through as they do not show up in my sent box...

btw thanks! ill give it a try.. have a good night medic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
How do I install my files? I can't find a zip to flash anywhere and when I try to install it it says not installed... any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
Thanx ne way, does anyone know of a fix to get the blue market to work permenantly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] burningembers:
I'm having a heck of a time getting "midNIGHT Theme v3.1 Blue Circle Icon 1% Battery Mod (AOSP LOCK) (Edify friendly)" working with 3.2

In the past I would flash the ROM, then the theme, and all would be well. But now I'm getting stuck in a boot+vibrate loop.

I've tried flash ROM, boot up once, flash theme. Flash ROM then flash theme then boot.

Also it appears 3.2 is missing the automatic reload of apps from my google account :( Alas.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
What is the point of AIO if we have to wipe first for the BYOR?

What I really like most is the simplicity of this Rom, Just download and install and alls back to normal in one quick and easy step.

I always keep a nandroid back up for safety, but its really great to install your ROM in 1 step. The BYOR is nice for newbs who are just getting into Roms but the AIO (which is awesome BTW) seems to be useless for BYOR as theres nothing to backup if you wipe.

Keep up the good work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] showmrock:
Wheres did the browsers zoom buttons go? and how do I re-enable them?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Ok.....I have to weigh in just a little here...all I am going to say is that all the BS I read for the last 3 pages or so is the easiest way to chase off a great chef.....so lets ALL think before we post something....
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Okay so I dont know what all happened int he past 3 pages of the thread. Just going to say my opinion and be done with it. The sound of having a BYOR sounded fantastic until I actually had to build it! LOL!!! I spent about 3 maybe 4 hours trying to install all of my zips, my apps, and any other extras I was wanting for my phone. Then I thought to myself how much work I was having to put into this. Not to mention....What if an update comes about? Do I need to rebuild from scratch again? I tried just doing a restore data in CW3 but for some reason some of my apps did not work. Some other essential stuff that I used were also having problems as well so I went to the Bonsai ROM since this is based off of that. This by far is my favorite ROM and I had no where to really go other than to Bonsai. I really love your work medic you are definitely my favorite chef on this site. I just "PERSONALLY" feel that the build my own ROM portion was too much work for me. lol. I am very lazy and I enjoy everything pre installed. Just my take. Not trolling or whatever you call it, but Medic asked for feedback and that is mine. Maybe there can be 2 versions of the Midnight ROM. BYO and just standard. Maybe a poll should be taken or something to see what the majority of the users say. Dont know, but the less work for me the better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gorguts:
Best Wishes

Dude, my heart goes out to you and yours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
Its in the zip "TW restore", in the midnight rom extras.

I flashed the zip and looking good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys I put up a poll on the blog about which version you want to see in the future. Please take a second and vote.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Good deal. I voted. Thanks for considering us and what we prefer! That is why I love your work. I actually feel like what I and others think has an impact on what comes next. Thanks for all of your hard work bro.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You would be right in feeling that way because it's true. I typically run a slightly different version then what I release. I have a few of my paid apps cooked in so I don't have to install.

I value your collective opinions and will adjust what I'm doing going forward (within reason). I think the future will include the BYOR Edition but with more basic apps pre-installed. Thanks for voting....
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
I know donations are not necessary or required, but I just sent something your way. Money on my end is kinda tight....Planning for a wedding in June and just bought a new puppy....lol....But I donated what I could which was not much but its just my way of saying thank you for your hard work and I appreciate all that you do and I was sincerely moved by your life story. I have never donated to a chef, but you are truly remarkable with your work and your sincerity to us that use your ROM. Thank you for everything man and I hope everything goes well with your family. You have truly motivated me with your positive attitude through all that you are going through.

Edit: Also following you on Twitter so I can stay in tuned with whats new! "LoUiziaNiMaL"
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
love this rom! i wanted fast, basic, and stable and this is it. thank you and good luk!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I think the problem with thee implementation of the byor rom is that you have to flash each file individually, which gets to be very cumbersome. Ideally you would select what you want and flash something once, but I know that is a whole different ballgame.

So although a byor rom/kitchen I think is the next step in Epic rom flashing, I don't think people will prefer it until it evolves into a more automated process. I know that's a huge step forward and would be a first for epic, but that's how I see it being successful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i thingk that having both BYOR and standard edition is the solution. keeps everyone happy
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
Just wanted to throw this out there since the poll is up on your blog but no way to comment on it.

I prefer something a lot like the ACS "Standard" build that they had. The basic apps (gapps, useful stuff) but NO trace of samsung or sprint stuff or crap like Asphalt.

I found already with 2.9.3 (I probably won't upgrade until I either have to because I wreck the install of this or DK28 is no longer our latest froyo version) that there were a few things that I missed a lot. First off... it didn't have swype and instead was packing the gingerbread keyboard, I'm fine with that but I had to manually push swype to it. Same with Memo.apk.

The thing I was less than excited about was SprintHotspot ... I had to manually remove that and figured most custom roms wouldn't have it. I know the reason for putting it on there was that people who are actually paying for the service can use it, but chances are if someone's flashing these roms they probably know how to add it back later (like I did with swype and memo)

I'm probably not an average user though... I want a rooted phone, good battery life and a sweet theme (running DK28 2.3 gingerbread theme right now). That's really all I am looking for.

In summary;

AOSP-ish

Basic

Good battery life
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
Battery is better than ever for me 14 hours with 43% left
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
Say, can someone who is still on 2.9.3 upgrade straight to the 3.1 AIO install without wiping anything? Of course it's still good to backup before initializing the install, but I just want to know if you need to upgrade to 3.0 AND THEN 3.1 in order to maintain all the data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
There is a reason you can't remove the Hotspot and by can't I mean shouldn't. In Froyo it's tied in the settings menu. That is why NO ONE removes it. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks alot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] usagi111:
So one question...is it possible to install TouchWiz on this rom since it's always being removed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
Looking for MyFiles that will run on MIDnight ROM. I had a copy but it won't install and downloaded another from XDA but it wouldn't install either. Probably an edify thing?

Thanks.

(go Pack)
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
TouchWiz is included with the Build Your Own ROM zips in the MidNight Extras folder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
Yea I haven't measured it lately but it hasn't died on me mid day anymore so that's a good sign.
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
You can't upgrade to any of the versions of this ROM without wiping. The install automatically wipes data. Despite this, I still recommend wiping Data, Cache, and Dalvik 3x before installing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Another great rom. I enjoy the freedom of being able to build your own. Medic.....Best wishes to you and your family. I will follow your blog so that I can stay up to date with all that you have to manage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
Just to clarify with everyone, it turns out that you CAN upgrade from a lower EXT4 version (i.e. V2.0 and higher) directly to V3.0 and 3.1 WITHOUT WIPING. Having just done so, everything is intact, INCLUDING DATA. However, this is not recommended if you wish to use the Build Your Own ROM versions V3.2 (or higher), since wiping is necessary to minimize the complications with rebuilding each ROM. For now, this should only be attempted with "standard" versions V3.2 (or higher).

Also note: any separate modifications, such as Edify Zip installs WILL NOT automatically transfer to the next version. If you want to have them on the higher version, you'll have to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0 and reinstall each of them individually (but without having to reboot after each individual install).

As always, create a complete backup of your ROM before upgrading to a higher version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Ok. So it's becoming clear that the majority seem to like the pre builds. So what I think I am going to do is try to do 2 releases at a time. One will be the pre-build and one will be a more "Naked" edition. I think the BYOR is more for the advanced user or someone who is comfortable flashing. It really is quiet simple just flash the apps you want and then pull the rest from the market. However, I think it has become way to complicated and I think many people missed the point.

That said, the next build will contain ALL the basic apps needed to use the phone (music/video player, my files, default browser,calc, email/mms, gallery). I just cut to deeply this time around. So I will be making the pre-builds the priority going forward but do my best to get a more manageable BYOR Edition up as well...

How does that sound to everybody?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZapZilla:
That sounds like a good plan for future release
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Beauty !! A Naked ROM zip and a zip of the APKs; where the user could prepopulate the system/apps folder with the apps they'd like before flashing the rom. Instead of having to flash one zip at a time.

Hope all is well with you and yours!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
2 versions next time!!!

cool, sounds like a plan man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kzn:
Not sure if this is a glitch or not, but I'm unable to use the "back" button to exit the contact app :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Dk28 problem, not rom-specific
[Epic 4G Android Development] jvjidNite:
If using launcherpro

hold contacts icon >change shortcut>launch application >contacts. That should fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Launcher Pro is not the problem, it works perfectly fine for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
So the most recent time I was able to successfully install the midNIGHT theme there was a wallpaper that I liked a lot and now I can't find it. I've searched through framework-res and twframework-res but haven't found it.

It's a greyish background with an x going through it, starting in the bottom left. Anyone know where I can find it? I've searched google images too, but no luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
thats the droid x stock bg.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I can only think of 2 wallpapers I have included in my themes. I'll attach them below.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
That has never been my theme. Maybe it's what he's looking for though.
