problem

I had this problem on 2.6 and now on 2.9. I have several batteries in case I run out of juice in the middle of the day. I usually let my phone die completely why I don't know but when you do this couple of times phone freaks out and won't load. It would boot to samsung screen, get to the opening video and then do a endless loop on that opening video until juice runs out..

running on 2.9 w aosp lock theme, sprint apps readded with new zips from ur site.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Is it just me or does the phone get choppy at times?? I'm running 2.9 with no journal mod. Maybe its just me??

Ahhh because I installed the stock lock mod over Viper Rom and I have the aosp lock screen some how lol????? I want stock. Are the downloads backwards?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cam3ron1:
Can someone help with this ^^^^
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
I think it's ext4.. I'm not sure though... I think it's incomplete at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Try updating your prl and profile. If not, odin back to dk28, root with cwm3, and flash again

Can someone make a midnight gingerbread based theme with green circle battery, etc..
[Epic 4G Android Development] j.kenefic:
Great ROM! I have been using it since v2.1.1 and done almost every version update since. I know people have their opinions on benchmarking, but I have been testing this ROM with Quadrant since v2.1 and used to get scores in the low 900s. Now with v2.9 I just scored a 1915! I can honestly say that the phone also feels that much faster when using it.

Only a few things that I have noticed that I am not sure if others have...

1) When receiving a call on call waiting, it will not let me answer it with out hanging up on the first caller.

2) Seems like my data speeds are at times only working on 1xRTT not EV-DO when being powered on for over a day or so. I notice this mostly when streaming internet radio on DoubleTwist. If I power cycle the phone it speeds right back up.

3) I have noticed that my Wi-Fi connection will randomly turn itself on and off.

Other than that I use this ROM as my daily driver and love the progress! Keep up the good work :) As a side note I also use the midNIGHT theme 3.0, my favorite so far.

It isn't much but I donated $5. I wish you and your family the best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
So I did my own little experiment, and the aosp and stock lockscreen have the wrong labels. I flashed aosp and got the stock lockscreen and the other way around for stock. Lol Just letting you know so other people won't repeat the same thing lol.

No Journal Mod

Hi everyone,

Please excuse if this is really obvious. I may have overlooked a link, but I did look for it several times. Where can I get the no journal mod?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Check the Bonsai thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Update: Folks I have to check out for a little while. Possibly about a week or so at the very least. I'll try to pop in if I have time but I have my hands full right now with other things. If you would like more information please see my blog. Thank you for understanding.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
For what it's worth. I'm wondering if any of these problems are related to the no journaling mod? Has anyone tried to odin back to clear out the mod and then try the ROM by itself. I'm not saying that it is just wondering what people are finding.

I'll do my best to check back when I can...

Thanks for understanding and for your continued support....

my 2.9 experience

for me it is running great!! I have no issues at all (knocks on wood).

I am still using clockwork 2.5.1.2, maybe cwm 3 is causing some of the weirdness some people are seeing ??

I have 2.9 + EXT4 + theme 3.1a asop.

I have been on a call and received a call and switched without any problems.

Data seems really good

No choppiness at all, the animations are soooo smooottthhh

I was on 2.5 +EXT4 + theme 3 .. I wiped each item 3 times (user data, cache partition and dalvik) .. then applied 2.9 rom . booted .... let fully load .. then applied theme 3.1a (again because I am still using cwm 2.5.1.2)

I then did the batter recalibrate and that has improved my batter 10 fold.

I used the turn off method (2nd option outlined in that thread) .. I didn't get my phone to say 100 until I did the last reset of battery stats .. booted to system .. left on charge to full (it still said 98) .. left it off change for like 5 min .. then put it back n charge and it filled to 100 ... it has been off charge going on 24 hours and I still have 70% battery.Just a few calls .. weatherbug checks every 30 minutes .. email is set to never check .. but that is better than what I had going before the recalibration.

My phone feels so fast .. I grin every time I use it.

The 2.9 boot screen is bananas! Love this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Just wondering since no one else seems to report this, do you have no journal mod? or kernel-EXT4-RFS-Bonsai_v1.1.4.2.zip patch?

The patch is a new kernel from Randy_T that fixes the multiple CWM issue forces 3.0.0.5 all the time and corrects problems with addons being flashed from 3.0.0.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Let me know your experience with theis update and I can update the kernel and re-up as I have time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death Roe:
Okay, I tried flashing it onto my Epic. I have CW2.5 and it says this is compatible with it. I wipe all the caches multiple times, and yet when I choose the zip and reboot the system, it boots back into Midnight 2.4 with all my stuff intact. What the heck is going on?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] copout221:
+1 same issues on my end. While in sms with gb key board it will randomly shut down and re-boot :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Ok so I tried the new bonsai kernal and my phone is no longer choppy. Works great!!!

LoUiZiAnImaL
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Can you tell me your setup,

EXT or RFS

Journal (standard) or No_Journal Mod.

Custom kernel or standard included with rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Same problem here.

2.9, EXT4 setup, standard journaling, using swype.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
I am using the aosp lock, someone on bonsai thread just noted only time they ever had reboot issues with the rom has been from aosp lock.

So out of all that have noticed random reboots, are you using aosp lock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Hey everyone...I might be trading for an Epic and the person I'm trading with stated that his Epic is running this "Midnight Rom" and he advised that with this rom the gps works. So my question is this in fact true? I'd hate to make this trade then find out that the gps doesn't work.

Thanks

Now I wouldn't lie to you. :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Yes, I'm using AOSP lock with reboot issues. Anybody have a link for an edify compatible zip to go back to stock lockscreen?

Hopefully this is something that the dev can fix soon, though from reading his blog, it sounds like he could use some sleep :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Lol....I know. But sometimes even though you're not having issues, someone else may be having issues..that's all. :-)

For those with reboot issues, I installed the AOSP lockscreen here overtop of the one I installed from the depository listed in the OP and my issues seem to have gone away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
Its not the aosp
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
then what is it?

Has anyone else had any trouble getting Wifi tether to work? 2.0.5 and 2.0.6 are both not working on the midnightROM 2.9 with EXT4 for me. Any pointers?

Specifically: Wifi Tether launches, installs binaries etc just fine, even creates a ad-hoc network that my laptop sees. But my laptop refuses to connect to it. It worked pre EXT4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johndoehizzle:
Downloading this rom now since I hear great reviews on the gps.really need it working.will flash in a bit..thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Wifi Tether

I am running 2.9 w/ EXT4 + theme 3.1a.

I have wireless_tether_2_0_5-RC1 version installed and it works with no issues (just doubled checked to be sure)

CWM3?

This will be a requirement moving to the next MidNight ROM Build?

Its cool, I was just glad I hadn't moved to CWM3 after seeing all the weirdness others were experiencing as I happily used my 2.9 with CWM 2.5 <grin>
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
OK, this may be user error, but heres my 2.9 issues since last night.

midNIGHT 2.9, EXT4, journaling, theme: standard lock, blue circle 1% CWM3

OK, so first install of (coming from 2.6) 2.9, did a restore of ALL apps via Titanium, mms broke, so I redid the flash (wiped9x, reset batt), then only restored user apps and data. After that, flashed the theme. Did NOT wipe before theme, and had restored and logged into google accounts.

issues:

1)Battery lasted about 6 hours after first charge after installs.

2)apps to desktop list loads as slow as rfs, so does widget lists

3)lower smartbench results, by about 100 each than 2.6

4)Batt gauge now at 78%, has been for 2 hrs.

5)Flash updated itself... is this okay now, or are we supposed to beat the clock to stop update still??

EDIT: Battery getting better, still trying to figure out if I should really wipe batt statistics, I am really thinking its just fine to keep the stats, but I guess I should read more on that one. Im wondering if the slower list building for apps, activities, etc. is due to theming... makes sense, still fast.... just not the ridiculous fast we seem to be moving towards. Maybe I better Odin, just for good measure.

SO... should I just wipe and reinstall both rom and theme? Will this batt issue resolve itself with time? Other than that, running less smooth than 2.6, is this normal with all the other mods tacked on since then??? Probly just need to reload, but if some of these issues are not just mine, felt I should share.

Oh and medic, whether you like it or not, donation coming your way as soon as I can get some cash... I loved your implementation of the Tab, wish I would have had this 2 years ago... my son had speech delay due to needing ear tubes, and docs were trying to diagnose autism before he was 2... not good, as they would not listen to us and let us have his hearing checked, we were treated like idiots because we doubted their 'diagnosis'.... anyways, with speech delay, we had the same communication issues, and that app/Tab combo would have been awesome, may still use it just as flash cards. Hes back on track, and should enter Kgarten on time... but the general awareness of autism, spectrum, and other similar issues really helped him along... thanks for what you do, your website... and the awesome roms are great too :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Medic,

A small request this go around. Can the ROM be setup so it doesn't automatically wipe data everytime it's installed? Just had issues lately with 3rd party stuff that I could've solved by just reflashing the ROM without wiping data.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
My GPS works better than ever with midNIGHT 2.5. My advice, just test it out first before you trade. Make sure the phone is NOT set to use wireless networks cause it will look like GPS is working when truly it's not using Satellites. It's using wifi to detect your location.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Well I can say the midNIGHT ROM works very well for me. That said, while I have never had an issues with GPS and DK28 some people still do. I think part of that is user error in some cases and others might be bad phones. The majority of people have seen dramatic improvement with DK28 regardless of the rom.

The Epic is a way better phone don't flame me for that the facts are the facts. If you were coming from an EVO then that would be a tougher decision. You will be happy whether you use my ROM or someone else's. Just make sure the phone works....and if you need any help just ask....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I know it's a pain in the butt to wipe (hahahaha) however it does prevent a ton of problems. Mammon switched to wiping as well I believe. I'll think about it but the shear volume of problems and complaints I receive that are a result of data restore and not wiping is honestly overwhelming. I'll consider it though.... I do understand... Thanks for the support and using the midNIGHT ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
My GPS has always "worked" great on eclair and froyo, in that I can always get a fairly quick lock if outside, with usually 9 - 11 satellites (helps that I live and work in a major city). However, for the last couple of months, since moving to DK28, I've had constant problems with the keeping the lock for more than a few minutes while using Google Nav software. I've tried many tricks from other posts on the boards to fix it, but it would always lose lock.

I may be jinxing myself, but since moving from Midnight 2.8 to 2.9, the issue appears to be resolved. I know Mammon made some changes to GPS in the Bonsai base, so I am hoping that has fixed it for good.

To the poster looking to acquire an Epic pre-loaded with Midnight Rom, I have tried nearly every ROM out there, some several times, and I keep coming back to Midnight. In fact, I've been scouring for replacement ROMs if/when Rob stops providing updates, and haven't made a decision yet. The other good news on the Epic is that if you don't like Midnight Rom (ie, maybe because you want to use Touchwiz), it's easy enough to switch to a different Rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I need a few testers pm me,,,,
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
Hey medic i remember reading somewhere that an update is coming for midnight 2.9. What will this fix/change and when might we see this update? I love 2.9, the best so far but i dont know if its some of the apps I have downloaded or what, but as time goes on my phone seems to be slowing down a little and it is quite lagging at times. Any info you can give me on this is greatly appreciated.

[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Use the new Bonsai Kernal. That cleared up all the lags issues I was having.

I have been trying to flash via CW3 the Midnight Theme, v3.ext4 edified and it will not load, keeps aborting. I'm running TrulyEpic Rebirth, everything else works fine exept this theme.

Any suggestions???

All support will still be here....
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
Thanks, I downloaded the link from there, it stated it wasn't edified, so I will just keep the theme I have - yours looks great. But I think some of the changes with CW3 and the edified settings that I don't understand just cause conflicts.

Thank you for all the work and dedication your provide for all of us, it has to be time consuming, but rewarding. My heart also goes out to you and your family.

jumping to CW3 from cw2.5 + ext4

"If you are not already running CW3 and EXT4 you will need to follow the instructions below. Basically you need to flash the no journaling mod v1.1.3 from CW2.5.5.2. Then flash midNIGHT V2.9.2 and that's it."

I'm in the middle of this spot. MidNight 2.9 + EXT4 + Theme 3.1a. CWM is 2.5.1.2.

Can I just flash the ROM and that gives me CW3, being that I have EXT4 already?

(of course do the wipey wipe dance before the flash)

I have a nand backup so I can try whatever.

Thanks!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jvjidNite:
I just flashed the rom as usual and it automatically redirected me to CWM3...

2.9.2 installation

Hey all,

Need a bit of help here. Followed instructions verbatim as indicated in post one, starting over with DK28 - non-extended.

Flashed CWM25

Flashed 2.9 and let it boot.

Quickboot Recovery

Flashed EXT4/No Journal

Flashed 2.9.2

Everything boots fine. Problem is in CWM. Cannot boot into Recovery/2.5

Get a bunch of:

E: unknown volume for path errors and some other similar errors.

Tried this several times. Please help. Details would be much appreciated. I'm pretty new to this.

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jvjidNite:
I had this problem as well, i just turned off my phone and turned it back on. (Don't use quickboot)
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:
Do not use quickboot or Rom Manager to boot into recovery, use the 3 finger method. Also, this rom has the cwm3.0 built in.

Any time I miss a call and get a missed call notification the phone will constantly re-boot if I don't immediately clear/acknowledge the indication. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not sure if its specific to this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I3lank:
What do you mean by flash CW3? From an older version of CW? If so do I copy the whole CW3 .zip file or just certain ones? Or do I reroot my phone using CW3 instead of the CW 2.5? Thanks and great ROM!

Oh and at what point do I wipe data/cache/dalvik? Before installing 2.9 or before installing nojournal mod then 2.9.2 or before every step? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbx097:
Thanks for the help guys, but neither method will get me into CWM2.5. Still getting the same errors, and still remains in CWM3. If I were to reflash CWM2.5, then the 3-finger method will get me there, and I can use it. Cannot reboot recovery from CWM3, in advanced. That's when I get the E: errors. Any further assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks again!
