Most people used Odin for DK28, but if you were on 2.1 and already rooted with clockwork 2.5 installed, all that was needed was to flash Rom and the flashable modem.zip from the OP of the thread below. It was Noobnl's thread, so I figured it would work. No idea why the method or thread didn't get anywhere near the attention as using Odin to get to DK28, except that many who root had likely already upgraded to other release versions of Froyo.

Well your right mis3, but there is also another way to get to DK28 from 2.1-DI18 without using cwm. All you do is download the "DI18 to DK28 update" from this forum and put it on your sdcard, rename it to "update", power off your phone, reboot into "stock" recovery, wipe cache, wipe data, then flash the DK28. That's it...

Trouble answering calls sometimes

Hi Midnight,

I'm having dificulty answering calls sometimes on the latest rom. I can't hear the other person in the other end or the phone ring when calling people until toggle the speakerphone. Any ideas? Or is this a known bug on the 2.2 dk28 roms?

Thanks,

[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Yu can try re-flashing the rom. I have'nt heard of anyone else having problems with their phone.apk. Perhaps you got a bad flash. Try flashing the rom again and see if that works...

Did you flash from 0 (odin from dk28 stock) or did you fash from viper? Bc if you flashed from viper and it has that issue bc of the AIO feature the issue could of carried over.

I have flashed from stock and only been on midNIGHT ROM and have voice search without issues, I just odined, rooted and flashed the rom on my wifes epic and her's is doing well too.

Might want to consider spending some quality time with odin tonight to make sure you have a fresh start.

[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Try odin then go straight to 3.1, I think that could help. If not, search the dev section for voice search and you might find a flashable zip for it. Sorry can't post the link, I'm mobile now and not close to PC.

i borked my epic

So I rooted via this method

One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector

not realizing it wasn't 3.0 as required by the midnight rom. I then backed (nandroid) up my stock DI18 epic via CW 2.5.1.0. I then flashed the midnight ROM which installed completely. Rebooted and it hangs at the samsung boot screen. I've let it go past 5 min, but it won't continue to boot. Now when I power on, my epic boots directly to CW(which I guess isn't that bad), but I can't load any roms successfully. I've flashed my EVo several times without fail, but I borked this one good.

Guidance at this point would be much appreciated.

edit: Also I receive the "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log" messge in CW.

Thanks,

Greubin
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2sslow:
Really? For you guys flashing to stock first...Really!

Dk28!!!!!!!!!!

You cannot flash this to a DI18 kernel.

For the record Ive flashed this 5 different times over different roms w/ different themes just to see what would happen and it works flawless every time.

NO NEED TO WIPE OR ODIN, JUST MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP TO BE SAFE AND ENJOY!!!

WHEN THE OP SAYS NO NEED TO ODIN YOU SHOULD LISTEN, HE HAS WORKED VERY HARD W/ HIS LIMITED TIME TO MAKE THIS WORK, SO LISTEN TO HIM

If that's happening to you, I think you needed to flash the special bonsai kernel to fix that loop.

2. Odin to dk28 stock, flash mn3.1 and profit.

Just flashed from 3.0, added latest theme (I had been on another), set animations to fast, and WOW - its flying.

Absolutely no problems at all. I went over top of 3.0, wasn't sure what to do if it would cause problems and wasn't getting the results in video, so did two things and I highly suggest this.

READ Carefully and think what you are doing before you post -

And if in doubt, wipe everything 3 times and install - this makes a clean reload

I didn't read about adding theme, which re-reading fixed that.

And Wipe - it takes about 1 extra minute - so if you like what you see, go back and wipe to be sure its stays fully operational as you add to it. And if you are having problems, wipe and reload.

These mods are here for us, this would have to be SO stressful to answer all the questions that can be found if you just READ. Yes, there are a lot of links, but what I do is remember where I am in threads (and yes, I have read all of them, and yes, I won't remember all of them), but if something happens, you have an idea where to look. And if you read thru new posts daily, and I feel you should if you are tweaking your phone, you might find something applicable.

Heck, you might learn, and then you can fix your own problems or possibly pitch in and help others.;) And last, always hit the Thanks Button, that is the only reward many get.

Format EXT4 - Check

Upgrade -Guessing flashing the rom?

Tune - HUH?

Remeber to hit the thanx
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I'm not sure if I'm following what help you need but what you say is pretty much what happens.

The ROM will backup, wipe, format to EXT4 no journal/ Upgrade / tune and restore your data. The only thing you are going to need is CWM3 so if you don't have it, I strongly recommend (at least for this time) to Odin to Stock DK28 and root with the CWM3 utility and then start the flashing process, otherwise do it as is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
I was having a lot of problems trying to root with the one click cwm 3. It would seem to work but when I tried to boot into recovery the phone would just go into a continuous backup and restore, but it would never restore. It would just go back into backing up. So I odined back rooted with one click 2.5. I flashed the ext4 flashable zip through 2510 and then before rebooting flashed midnight 3.1 also through 2.5.1.0. Everything seems to be working.

Medic, I know it says you have to have cwm 3 to be able to flash. Do you know why this worked the way I explained above? I wanted to post in case anyone was having the same problems I washaving. I have not tried to boot into recovery yet, I am afraid it wll mess things up and I wioll have to start over again. Should I now have cwm 3 since I flashed the rom succesfully?

Update: I rebooted into recovery and I now have clockwork 3.0.0.5 without even using the one click with cwm3. I flashed a theme and it works great. So I am guessing that it is not necessary to flash with or even have cwm3 installed to flash this rom???
[Epic 4G Android Development] Damar1979:
Awesome rom!!! And you are the only dev that seems to continuously be on the ball to keep your rom up to date and improved. Thank you so much!

Question, does the new music apk that you installed come with a widgit? And (a possible request) on your next update, is there any way that you can make the phone just go silent like stock does? You have sound, then you have vibrate, no silent.

I have 3 questions after reading through and posting thanks on Bonsai.

1. My Build No. is midNIGHT Rom v3.2 EXT4 - Is this a problem, I'm having

none but doesn't match with what I downloaded.

2. Kernel version is 2.6.329 - Is this the right one, see above #1

3. And the only thing that isn't working right is the Launcher. I love the

rolodex look in the video. Neither one of these does that unless I am

missing a tweak - coming from AM Laucher (which does that on Truly

Epic Rom) but cannot find a stand along launcher that does same. There

is an AM Launcher (TER) zip, but does not do rolodex.

If anyone can help, I will be sure to Thank you.

And my phone is flying - advise to everyone, just take your time and do a clean install, its worth the extra 5 minutes because you won't want to change.

voice search FC

Seems the force close only occurs if it tries to open something in browser, as someone mentioned before may be because default browser is missing. If I say "navigate to ..." it won't FC because it opens in maps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
To everyone having VS issues here is what I recommend:

Got to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - All Apps - Voice Search Force close and clear data and cache (if possible).

Reboot into recovery (CWM3) and clear cache and dalvik (under advanced) and restart.

I've been testing my voice search and its working flawless under all and every way possible, let me know if this works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I agree there is no need for anger or hostility in posting, ever, but especially about something as trivial as this. Since I'm the annoying guy who started this back and forth about using Odin yesterday, pasted below is a quote from Randy_T in Bonsai thread in response to iSaint stating (as he has done here) that for the freshest install, you should Odin back to DK28 stock. Randy_T is one the developers of Bonsai, on which this Rom is based,

"If you are already running a non-stock ROM, there is NO NEED to flash back to DK28. It will only make your migration to v2.0 harder.

The answer to the problems this person is reporting is to 3 finger boot into CWM. It will then go through the conversion to EXT4 filesystem. Once that is complete, and before rebooting, flash Bonsai v2.0.

There has been a myth established about clean installs requiring flash back to stock. That is no longer the case with Bonsai. We wipe clean the disk and restore everything you had on /data."

Again, I have no idea why or how flashing back to stock causes problems, I just know that it is not in the instructions, and the guy who wrote the instructions for Bonsai is saying not to do it.
