I cant stand the google app restore, just abort before it does it, but I was getting lame apps I tried loooong ago... anyone seen a way to truly destroy your google app history? They can keep their files on me all they like, but I just dont want 'super rufio bros' on my phone again! hahaha... no back to the ROM....

I DL'ed it at about 2am pacific, and cannnot for the life of me find handcent old, just the new good one. Just making sure its not somewhere other than /sdcard/midNightextras/.... not trying handcent again, but will give goSMS a whirl.

Havent even flashed yet (charging) but already love the new delivery system, it seems to have a way to work for everyone... good job Medic! Its really inspiring what you can accomplish with all the real world work on your plate... awesome work! Will try the about phone issue as soon as I load up the basic rom, then the extras, etc... see if I can help. I did a totally fresh DI18 to midNIGHT 3.2, so I shouldnt have any nasty bytes hidden somewhere to screw it up.

Ahh, gotcha. So your not having the Fc's in settings/about phone? I guess ill try to redownload the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mistabusta:
I am not having this issue, if that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
No everything is working perfectly so far this rom is

ORGASMIC

fastest rom so far and im at 74% left with

13 hours 11 mins since last unplugged set to 1000-1000 performance at all times
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
**Nevermind, I guess flashing the midNIGHT ROM v3.3 Standard Edition.zip fixes the problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
Man, this rom is stupid....

Stupid FAST, that is!!

GGreat so far!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
So did anyone actually use Google apps from the folder to get back settings/phone? (not meant as sarcasm etc, just wondering if that was a known issue, needing to install Gapps before phone info works)I have done it twice, and no info... Flashed the base rom and about half the apps, including Google apps the first time, and twice again later after I saw this. Possibly another optional .apk the culprit? Ill try some I haven't installed, I would rather not do the full flash, took some time to pick and choose :)

updated:

OK after installing a couple other stock (non-sprint) zips, with no repair to the phone info issue, completely reflashed, flashing main ROM, let it boot, abort FNG tutorial, (no phone info) reboot into recovery, flash the standard zip immediately, reboot, phone info is there... no signing in to google yet either... so maybe google apps.zip has issues? Maybe there is something else in the standard that is missing if you pick and choose... not sure.

updated yet again:

going thru Go SMS settings, they note that they require the stock SMS, is this the same as Stock MMS that is in the extras, therefore must be used as well??? Did not install stock at first, seemed to have no issues, but sent one text w no response... so idunno if it worked or not. Anyways, it would appear stock SMS and MMS are one and the same, as after flashing stock MMS, I was prompted to pick an SMS either stock or go sms. May have answered my own question, but thought id throw it out there, in case you really do need the stock as well.... btw Go SMS rules!!! I love being able to black with red text nearly everything! and the features kick ass... thanks for tossing it in there, tried handcent, didnt like it months ago, never tried another sms till now.

Cooking Time

Is there a link i've missed that tells you what to do to cook your own rom? I thought i would try it this time, since we are given a slimmed base, but i guess i don't know what to do. My initial thought was to just extract the zips of the apps i wanted and place them in to the system/app folder and then re-zip and install with CWM... but that's a no go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] specialist125:
(Midnight Rom 3.3 BYOR) I watch the video he posted and sms apt isn't included. He said we have 3 option we can use the stock sms apk,go sms, or handcent. Now, I want to install go sms to handle sms and mms, but I remember reading a post awhile ago that said you must not uninstall the stock sms app because if you do you would loose mms support is this still the case?

[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
If you want to get removed or non stock as pks on the phone you could always unzip whatever it came in and do an "adb push" to the device...

I've reinstalled swype, allshare, and memo the same way from the "stock" acs deodexed dk28 rom.

Are you using this with Emotionless Beast Theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
To those with the "no network" issue all you need to do is odin the dk28 modem. That will fix it. This is a dk28 bug...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
Yes I am, didn't ya see my sig. :P

Is there a swype.apk I can push to the system/apps folder that will fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
I saw it, just wanted to make sure. EB is not compatible with the new swype since it's based off the old one. You'll need the Swype Restore.zip that Medic originally had for edify found here: http://lostandtired.com/android-development

You can play around with the zip to see if you can get it to work without re-installing, but ultimately, I had to re-install the ROM and use the above zip instead of the new swype.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
I tried taking the swype.apk from bonsai and replacing it in /system/apps but it didn't work, I'll use the swype restore .zip. Thanks for the help and I guess it's something else to add to mystery's list of updates for the next version of EB. :)

midnight etras -> midnight rom 3.3 standard edition update missing

I just flashed 3.3

When the phone restarted and was at the touch the my robot to start.

When I apply a zip from sd card, and look in midnight extras .. the standard zip isn't there. It exists in the zip I used to flash the ROM from ... weird.

tried to do the wizard so I could connect usb for mass storage and just copy that 1 zip over again. As the googles apps are missing. Not surprising.

I am going to flash the google apps.zip and see how that goes.

update: I logged in with the bare system, once it sync'd my contacts. connected to my computer and copied the standard update.zip to my phone. boot to recovery installed from that zip, everything is fine. I like to install most of my apps again and set them up again so as to not have anything linger and cause problems.

So far 3.3 seems snappier than 2.9 (I had cwm 2.5.1.2 EXT4 and midnight 2.9) ... very impressive. Will continue to play around and report on what I find. Simply put though, midNight ROM is simply the BEST ROM available. period end of story.

Will be donating again for this version like I did for 2.5 and 2.9 ... all the best to you and your family.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Johnny.Bravo:
Ive been seeing the same thing. Every time I change the battery I have to reset my WidgetLocker settings and my screen timeout resets to 15 sec.

VOTED!
[Epic 4G Android Development] B5Z:
I personally have not had an issue with anything reverting back to default settings after pulling the battery or rebooting. But then again, as someone stated a few posts back, maybe the issues are steming from having some of the apps being pulled from the sdcard???

Voted!!!

hi guys

question...i rooted my wifes epic and everything went according to plan...except when i logged into the phone after flashing midnight rom everything seemed fine except i wasnt getting signal.

when i went into wireless settings the airplane mode kept going crazy going on and off.

suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
did you flash the dk28 modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Andy0682:
i followed the instructions on midnights video...used the one root click method then installed his rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] schnergun:
ok yeah its still deleting all my apps everytime time I shut down. I did it again to see if it would happen again and it did? i only have a few apps that install to the SD
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
the only other thing i can think of is, did you do a full data, cache, dalvik wipe prior?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Andy0682:
ok i think im good...someone told me to use odin and flask the modem and it seems to be working now...thanks for th ehelp
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
yep, i always start with a fresh odin, just because i want to get the cleanest install possible. enjoy

im dyin quick.....

Hey guys, I love this rom very fast and clean....but I'm having battery problems?

I'm litteraly watching my battery drop in 1% increments from 97% to 90% as I'm typing this.

I get about 1-3 hours of eeven just standby use...I'm on 2.7, ext, Clckwrk 3. Besides that this rom is sweet I'm using adw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Did you calibrate the battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] antpila33:
I actually just wiped the stats this morn then noticed the drain...
[Epic 4G Android Development] antpila33:
ill wait till I calibrate it all the way to worry I've done it on other roms I've just never seen

It count down before my eyes....lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] kilmarac:
I tried shutting down completely and pulling the battery. Nothing disappeared for me. Tried several different times, waited for media scanning to complete, didnt wait, pulled and replaced battery within 30 seconds, waited longer than 30 seconds, pulled started up "ooops" and pulled battery again, started again. The only time I noticed any glitch was when I Pulled battery before the phone vibrated to indicate full shut down complete. When it started up, not all my applications were visible in the menu, but after the media scanning completed they had all returned.

My suggestion would be that when you are changing batteries, do a full shut down, wait for it to vibrate after power off to indicate its done (or 30 seconds to 1 min), then swap your batteries and start up. Wait for media scanning to complete and everything should be fine. if it continues, my recommendation would be to do 3x factory wipe and start over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kilmarac:
Whats your signal like in your area. I know I get 1 maybe 2 bars in my area, and with 3g on, I would watch it drain within a few hours. However, once I connected the phone to my wifi, it no longer drains. The low signal makes data connections more difficult and so it runs the data longer to keep retrying things. When I hooked to wifi, it shut down 3g and my batter lasts me greater than 24 hours now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] antpila33:
Ok that mkes sense ill try that seewhat happens, this is my first froyo rom and I used set cpu before so my batt lasted forever. About your reply (thanks by the way) I read that with some roms you have to manualy update profile (stock profile didn't wrk).
[Epic 4G Android Development] poppntagz:
After flashing this rom my haptic feedback is not working anymore, how can I get this to start back working, I am a noob and this is my first time working with android.
[Epic 4G Android Development] poppntagz:
I fixed it, I wiped data and cache and now vibrate is working again. I am one of those people that just got tired of waiting on a stock 2.2 update... best decision I made this year....
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Just noticed it's v2.8 now. Any advantage from 2.7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
New ROMS (4) are up. I wanted to make sure no one was left out this time. I am not personally using the NO Journaling MOD, yet. However is should work in the DUAL versions. It will NOT WORK with CW3 installed or with CW3 redirector versions of the midNIGHT ROM.

I want to say thanks to everyone for everything. I appreciate all the support. Things are easy as I'm sure your aware but I'll keep cooking as long as I can. Please be sure to check the Repository for any edify zips you may need. I didn't create the zips just converted them over to edify. These zips will work with ALL CURRENT CWM for the Epic (CW2.5 and CW3).

THANKS

In 3.3 BYOR Standard Final, do I remove the handsent before moving the zip to the SD? Or is that already resolved?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nFKT:
Read instructions, wiped 3x, odin'd and rerooted. Still FCs all over the place, about phone not working. Have installed gapps etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I have flashed quite a few roms but have only deleted files from root explorer when phone was up and running
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:

Did you delete that handsent file (am I spelling that right?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannieboiz:
I just applied 3.3 and couldn't get into SMS and when I go to "about" in system settings it crashes instantly.

I factory reset and wipe cache 3x.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Try taking midNight ROM v3.3 Standard Edition Update.zip out of the ROM zip itself.

Copy it to your sd card, boot to CWM3, and install that zip.

(under sdcard and midnight extras, in the zip file)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Try the zip I mentioned just before.

I don't know why, but in cwm3 under might night extras. That zip file isn't listed as one that can be selected to install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I only have a second but I want to clear this up. I was pointing out that there are "2" copies of handcent available to flash. They will both be located in the midNIGHT ROM Extras folder on your SD card after flashing the ROM. I meant to delete the "handcent.zip" but I forgot. I had already added the fixed one. That is labled "handcent sms (NEW).zip". Just don't flash the first one because it's broken. I just forgot to remove it before uploading.....

As far as FC's go... This shouldn't happen at all. DO NOT RESTORE ANY DATA AT ALL. Going forward you should be fine but for this build DO NOT RESTORE ANY DATA. Also WIPE EVERYTHING x3 (data, cache and dalvik) before flashing....

Hopefully that will help... Sorry I'm hit am nmiss at the moment but my hands are full at home right now. I'll do my best to drop in when I can...

Thanks for your patience and support...

Possible voicemail Issue

Anybody having any issues with voicemail? I have flashed 3.3 from 3.2, then flashed numerous zips out of midnight folder including voicemail. The problem I'm having is that I am not getting notification of new voicemail. You have to manually start voicemail assuming you know there is a voicemail available? I have double checked voicemail settings and everything seems to be normal.

Any ideas or something I forgot?

Thanks, Ken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] specialist125:
Yes I have been getting the voicemail issue too. Icon comes up as if you have a message but none is there. Also, the voicemail activation need for visual voice mail keeps failing to download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Havent tried voicemail yet but I have tried most current version of every rom on page 1. This is stable and VERY FAST! Only this and Viperrom seem really on point. Just to confirm: I can not restore data in Advanced restore? Do I have to re-download my apps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Did you wipe again before installing 3.3 from DK28? If not, the 3.3 ROM backed up and restored DK28 which is what is causing your FC's. Part of it being an All in One is that it backs up whatever ROM is existing on your phone and then restores the NAND in the new ROM. That's why wiping 3x right before installing is recommended to get rid of all those traces of the previous ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
I already asked Mystery and he said he wasn't adding it unfortunately.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
I've installed Handcent ONLY (no stock mms) sms & mms are working flawlessly.

As a matter of fact, this ROM has been a dream, great job Medic!

For those of you having issues I can only offer my process:

Wipe data/cache/dalvik 3x, flash the base, skip all intro stuff and shut down as soon as possible. Begin flashing MidNIGHT extras (G-apps and 1 of the sms apps for sure, sprint voicemail etc...).

This process left me with a perfectly working ROM (GPS, NO forcecloses, and SPEEEED)

My 2 issues are small:

1. Installing the Voice Search zip from the extras folder didn't appear to do anything? (No worries, just grabbed it from the market)

2. While I was on stock Froyo, I noticed that I had the option for Google to remember my settings and APPS. Now that I know which apps I prefer, I'd like to have that option back on MidNIGHT, anyone know how to do that?

**EDIT: I opened up the voice search zip from the xtras folder and found out why it wasn't installing (and why the stock browser showed up when I definitely didn't install it!)

It's because the Voice Search zip installs the default browser!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You are correct. That is because the default browser is required for voice search to work. We discovered that last build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Weird cause I don't have that problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mircony:
I installed this rom on my wifes epic and it is by far the best rom yet, she was having problems with screen rotation lag and this rom has solved it....only issue now is the battery is draining fast,is this due to the speed? Is there a calibration period for the battery? Other wise perfect rom...good job. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Ahh. Duh I should have remembered that. That info was just posted when I joined the party. Well at any rate the zip puts in the browser but forgets the voice search fyi.

As to my other question, is it impossible to get google data sync (apps + settings)? It doesn't seem like an apk sorta deal

Slight issue with 3.3

This of course is fixable.

Problem:

While in a call, press Menu button, then press Memo. You will get an FC and the call will drop.

Solution:

Open the TWRestore.zip and go to the app folder and delete everything except Memo.apk. Save and copy to SD card. Boot to CWM and flash.

My memory is SH$t when someone in a call asks me to write something down. The Memo tool is a great feature that should be included in the base ROM flash. (just my .02)

Strange Contact issue

Having a problem and can't find easy solution--- HELP.

I have flashed 3.3 reboot...no problems can select contacts and then can back out with out issue. Then I CW3 and install the standard zip and SMS (tried all) and when I reboot and go into contacts I can not back out with out hitting home...this is a problem when I want to use dialer or sms and selecting from my contact list....what am I missing? what else can I try...did not have issue with 3.2 but like speed and does seem to have better battery life in 3.3...please help...I am getting frustrated

EDIT----

Ok may have fixed this.....I had to flash stock mail then gingerbread mail and things seem to work...will let you know if something else comes up.--

Ok so that did not do it...found that the Contacts shortcut and Contact link in doc bring up two different contact apps. If I reboot and only use Homescreen Contacts shortcut everything is good...as soon as I use the dock contact the issue is there. I changed the dock shortcut...hopefully will not have issue popup...but still playing
[Epic 4G Android Development] nFKT:
I did manage to get it working eventually.

Now however, in messaging I can only see my sent messages, nothing received.
[Epic 4G Android Development] specialist125:
Did you make sure that you could receive mms messages cause when I tried this with "Go SMS" I would only see the messages if I had the pop up notification enable, but even then the message was not logged under the contact in "Go SMS" it was blank. Also if you where inside "Go SMS" and someone sends you a message you will not receive it...... you wont even know you have/had a message. I also disabled the pop up notification and it was the same outcome(blank log).If you send message out it will be logged in "Go SMS", but when someone reply to your message you will not see those log. From what I can tell all your outgoing sms/mms will work, but your incoming message seem not to work properly. Like I said this was with "Go SMS" I will try to re-flash and try this with "Handcent" to see if it works without the stock mms, but Go SMS didn't seem to work for me without the stock mms

(Without Stock MMS) Well Handcent is working a little better than Go SMS. Handcent is logging all sms message unlike Go SMS. I have been able to send out MMS just fine with Handcent but it is slow(This was much faster on Go SMS). I was also able to send out audio file with Handcent. The only problem that I had was recieving MMS from other phone it never came in.(already over and hr)
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:

I am having this issue as well. I get no notification of new voicemail. New voicemail also does not show in the voicemail app. I have to go into the settings and hit the personalization option which makes the phone call the voicemail service so I can hear any messages. I flashed the Sprint Voicemail.zip and the Stock MMS.zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Maybe voicemail is somehow tied to the mms apk

No I don't see any change in Handcent. In stock mms I just remove all the defaults and notifications, and use launcherpro to remove it from my app drawer, it's like it's not even there
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
Thanks WunderXDA

I tried the stock MMS included with midNIGHT first to no avail, but once I flashed the MMS zip from Wunder, I was able to recieve MMS as well as Voicemails.
