I posted an update to my Android Development page of my blog. Those of us that have been hear may remember this. I ported it over to the Epic.. Enjoy...
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
YES!! Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Agreed......no issue here at all.......

EDIT: figured out the problem.....if you use the contact that is already there after fresh install......you gave to go back in and redo it....so hold and then re -add contact shortcut....should work fine after that...
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Yup that worked perfectly. I actually fell in love with the custom TW I found. The one where you can actually change the quick buttons at the bottom. Nice and smooth like Flyers @rse!! LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kilmarac:
ptfdmedic,

I want to say that so far I have found your ROM to be the one that I like the best. I am going to miss you releasing updated ones, but I totally understand your situation.

I wish I could help more, but I did send you a meager donation from what I could afford.

Hang in there and always remember that no matter how bad it gets, focus on the good things that have been, that will be, and that you want and eventually positive things will happen.

Good Luck!

I started noticing this when I switched to EXT4

I'm still having this weird issue regarding settings not sticking and reverting back to default whenever I switch batteries (I use the external battery charger so I just flip flop my batteries).

For instance, I have the haptic feedback turned OFF for SwiftKey, but after I switch batteries and reboot, haptic feedback is turned back ON. Same goes Handcent. I have the pop up disabled, but when I switch batts, pop up is enabled again...my settings won't stick.

So strange...

Anyone else having this issue? I can't be the only one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
Yeah I've noticed that but its not just with this ROM I've been getting that with a couple other ROMs but didn't really think about it till now. But I don't think its the ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Thanks...I thought I was the going crazy. I haven't tried any other ROMs cause I just love midNIGHT. I guess it's just an EXT4 thing cause I've been running midNIGHT ROM since day 1 when everyone was still on RFS and I had no problems with (til I switched to EXT4).
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Hahahahahahahaha......wait til darren see's this!!!:eek:

So last night i did a battery pull on my epic, and once everyting was booted up again, over half of the apps and widgets i downloaded had been deleted from my phone. anyone know why this would or could happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Move Apps to SD. Whatever apps/Widgets you have moved to your SD card.. Whenever you reboot or in your case pull the battery.. They disappear and you have to reapply them. What I did was the apps/widgets that I used the most or that were on my home screens.. I just moved them to phone and now they stick after rebooting or pulling the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schnergun:
Not all apps will transfer to the SD card i dont believe. Is it because its a custom rom that they will delete regardless?

[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I much prefer the pre-built over BYOR. The reason is the amount of time it takes to modify and load. With your pre-built, I download the zip, open it up, delete about about 20-25 files I don't typcially use (some programs, lots of ringtones, wallpapers, etc). I've done this enough times, it only takes about 5 mintues (I compare to the last zip). Then, I flash what's left, and it's just how I like it. With the BYOR, I have to flash core, then do several more flashes to add the things I use. A bit too time consuming.

For me, one standard version works well enough, but for others who aren't as comfortable removing files, it might help them. Quite frankly, I'm amazed at how quickly you respond to the feedback of your users and do so much to make this such a great rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You could just drop the files you want in prior to flashing and save yourself some time. Just extract the apks and drop them in... ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] kzn:
Had to reboot the phone, but that works! Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
I find with the BYOR edition it limits the amount of keys the physical keyboard skips. Even less than when I just uninstall swype. Doesn't fix it completely but it is less... thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Andy0682:
hey guys...quick question.

My wifes epics battery died last night while we were out.. when we got home charged it and tried turning it back on and it keeps relooping the boot screen over and over.

ideas or suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
UPDATED:

midNIGHT ROM v3.2 CW3/EXT4 AIO (Build Your Own ROM Edition) Pulled and reuploading

Notes: Bluetooth and Pandora are fixed

- This is based on the bonsai v2.0.1 release (contains ALL fixes EXCEPT the "Reboot" option on the shut down menu)

CREDITS: Once again a HUGE THANKS goes out to mammon88 and Randy_T for another GREAT bonsai release. Thanks Guys.

- I want to also THANK everyone that donated and or reads our story . By doing so you are helping to spread Autism Awareness. (All donations go to covering the out of pocket costs of my wifes surgery and the crash room for my kids.)

- I also want to THANK EVERYONE that uses the midNIGHT ROM. You have made this an unbelievable success.

I have provided everything you need to build your own ROM just the way you like it. The only things included on this base ROM are the following:

--------------------------------------------------

Calendar

Contacts

Camera

Dialer

Settings

Sprint Hotspot (Can’t Remove)

Task Manager (Can’t Remove)

Super User (Cause it’s pre-rooted)

CW3 Redirector

Calc

Video/Music Player

Gallery

Market

Gingerbread Keyboard

Live wallpaper framework

Email/MMS

Default Browser

Default Alarm Clock

--------------------------------------------------

As you can see this is more of a NAKED edition. Hopefully this will address the problems with the previous release. The ROM will function AS IS. However, the fun comes when you pick everything you want and then flash it yourself. Pretty simple, right? I want to help everybody learn as much as possible. I know we don’t have a kitchen but this is pretty close. I have all the ingredients here so all you have to do is bake to your heart’s content.

REQUEST:

Please let me know if this is better. While the majority prefers the pre-builds there was a significant demand for the BYOR Edition as well. I hope this makes things a bit easier. Remember you can always extract the .apks and drop them into the ROM zip using 7zip prior to flashing.

Good Luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
I wanted to say thanks, I personally love the idea. I'm running 3.1, your theme, adw launcher, and a few apk and zips of my own. My phone is running perfectly, so I do not want to try newer rom.

However, in the future, I think, if its not too much trouble, a naked and a pre-built. You have many different levels of users and capabilities. The advanced group should (?) know what they are doing.

I really, really appreciate the time you put into this for all of us. This is one of the reasons I don't even look at another rom, because of your work, answers, and feedback.

And I also want to say, I have read your blog, contributed and wish all the best to your wife on her surgery on Wednesday. Feel free to leave us alone and take care of your family and do what you need to do. Others will do their best to fill in the blanks for those needing help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
try pulling the battery. also you can boot into cw and wipe the cache and dalvik
[Epic 4G Android Development] showmrock:
Checkered loading screen on browser...if a page is still loading and I pinch to zoom I see a full screen checker. Iv never experienced this on other ROMs....any fix/suggestion?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dewey1973:
Are you saying that we can pull the apks out of the edify zips and put them into the ROM zip to have the installed along with the ROM? If so, where? Just the \system\app folder?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Actually, thats the great thing about this rom, and Bonsia rom. You dont wipe before installing, then the install backs up your data, wipes, converts to ext4 with no journaling. Then flashes rom and restores data. So sweet!
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Anyone having any reboot issues with the 3.2 Standard edition on this rom ...sometimes when i am using the phone and multitaksing the phone like quick reboots it happened 2 times today
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZapZilla:
happens to me occasionally, though its been good for the past day, not sure what causes it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Well if anyone else could chime in it would be greatly appreciated
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
If it helps the devs of this bonsai, some people, including myself, on Viper have encountered the same with 4.0.3.

Perhaps it had to do with a recent addition to both of these roms. I've not really heard of it happening before just recently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I need to go off topic for just a second and address something that happened to me here today...

Just an FYI.. I'm more then open to discussing Autism and any questions you may have. That may be better off at the blog but whatever it doesn't really matter to me. Please DO NOT insinuate that I AM RESPONSIBLE for my kids being Autistic because my wife and I chose to vaccinate our kids. Believe it or not I can be offended and that's a really good way to piss me off. I assure you that my wife and I have become experts in all things Autism and vaccine related. I would NEVER do ANYTHING that would have even the slightest chance of hurting my children. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM... THAT IS A FACT....

I won't share this persons name as these were PM's..... In the unlikely event that there is anyone else thinking this an appropriate conversation to have with a parent who (I assure you) already feels guilty enough their child is struggling with life, I'll clue you in it's not. This is not the forum for that conversation. Feel free to post those comments on the blog so we can discuss them in a public manner....

I wasn't going to say anything about this but the ignorance just pushed me over the edge.... This is the type of information that is causing so many problems within the Autism community.... Please research and don't just follow the people that word vomit fear and propaganda. This is a HUGE problem and now it's made worse because people don't vaccinate their kids because they are afraid it will make their child Autistic.. I know this is a touchy subject but it's one that has to be discussed and the misinformation clarified.

I said in the beginning that I was doing these ROMs as a way to bring attention to Autism and the plight of families like mine. This guy just pushed my buttons and I felt that I should address this before this happens again. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but before engaging in this type of conversations with someone like me who actually has experience in this area have something more then accusations and opinions. Do a little research and you might just learn something.

Now back to the point of this thread. Has anyone tried the new BYOR edition? Was it a better experience this time around?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
This may also be a DK28 issues that pops up from time to time. I haven't seen it in a while and not in the last few builds but I know it creaps its ugly little head out from time to time. I don't think there is anything we can do about it at this point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Are you referring to the rebooting issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I am. This issues has popped up from time to time....
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
awwww man it really bothers me ..anyways I am a hugeeeeee Viper Rom Fan but ur rom seems to be the smoothest EXT 4 rom out right now... im on 3.2 Standard and its running fast as **** ..only issue is that reboot thing and low ram issue but that is with all EXT 4 roms right now i believe
[Epic 4G Android Development] ponicg:
This is what happens when we, as a people, let stupid people talk and present facts that aren't... Yes, I'm looking at you Jenny McCarthy! It's insane to think that Oprah, whose career started in journalism, could possible believe in this mumbo-jumbo bull**** known as "MOMSCIENCE!" ... WTF? I'm with you on this one, ptfdmedic. It's a damn shame that there are kids dying in California from diseases we haven't seen in the US in years. It sounds like you're having a pretty rough time of it, keep your head up. It'll all get better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Getting force close gapps that just pop up and don't really do anything.

I decided to reflash the ROM and it wiped out my calendar.

Anyone know how to fix these?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I was having the same issue on a number of apps: gapps, swype, gmail, launcherpro, k-9, and jorte were all force close looping. It took 2 times of triple wiping everything and reflashing to get it to stop.

Wiped out your calendar? Doesn't your calendar sync with gmail? It should be restored, once it syncs. I suggest also syncing with outlook. I use gSyncit and swear by it for syncing contacts. calendar, and notes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
ok. maybe someone can chime in here for me. i've downloaded 3.0 and 3.1. i've been using 3.1 for the past week and 3.0 before that. i've rooted back to stock and back to 3.1 multiple times. it seems after every so often, i'll get a text or a missed call and bam. my phone is rebooting. what's going on here? is the rom buggy or is DK28 that unstable?

thanks for any help guys. i like the layout of the rom and would like to support/help out whenever/wherever i can. thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nFKT:
Using 3.2 BYOR, getting forcecloses on swype installed from their website.

Hi every one, i know you guys might have answered these kind of qns many times bt I need your help. Im a noob and i bricked my new epic. let me tell you how it happened.

after getting courage by watching Rob's video on how to install midnight rom on stock dk28, i did the following steps.

1. updated my stock eclair DI18 with DK28 using update.zip successfully.

2. Did one click rooting with CWM3 and converted everything to ext4 successfully.

3. Then in clock work recovery i flashed midnight rom v3.2 standard edition.

4. everything went well and fine till the point of reboot but then things got messed up. the phone would boot till the point when the black screen displays samsung mobile logo. then the screen would go off and the capacitive buttons remain lit. then the phone will vibrate and it powers down. it will repeat this cycle till i remove the battery cover.

5. i tried to restore the backup in clockwork, it backed up and then it tries to boot up, its the same story.

I know u guys might have answered this issue multitudes of time, but still. can i get help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Just three finger back into cwm3 and re flash the rom. Should boot up fine. And the initial boot will take several minutes, so let it do its thing. Don't forget to triple-wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jok3sta:
Is anyone else experiencing slow graphical performance. When playing a high quality 3d game like modern combat its really laggy.. anyone?

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gowind:
hey thanx for the quick response, but i have restored the prev-ext4 back up from CWM3 even though its still not booting up. so will it work if re-flash it as it may have gone back to the previous file system.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You need the DK28 modem. I don't know if the update.zip you flashed contains the modem. I suggest you odin at least the DK28 modem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Nope. I have really good performance...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jok3sta:
Hmm is there any of the files in the addon zip that might affect performance.? I only installed the mms and email zip

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gowind:
hey i reflashed it and currently on that beutiful welcome screen.... it tells me me to touch the android. when i touched the android for the first time there was a force close for something. is it normal. do i need to go back and repeat anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gowind:
Thank you so much rob for this awesome ROM. u are simply great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
My epic has been running gr8 with v3.2 standard. No major problems yet. I been running it since the first flash and even if they gave us froyo I think I would stick with midnight.

[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
i like the byor option because i can personalize to exactly what i want and don't want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Thanks guys for all the support. As far as the FC's go right off the bat it may just be a bad flash. I would wipe everything x3 if you experience this and reflash. I know the ROM does that for you but if you want to start over without data restore the you should wipe first that way nothing is backed up or restored.

Also as Randy_T stated this backup and restore process DOES NOT RESTORE the problems you are having and is safe to do. I only suggest wiping if you DO NOT want to pick up where you left off and would like to start from scratch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gowind:
hi... my music player force closes when i try the disc view (is disc view the cover flow animation) also i was not being able to get a gps lock. dont knw wether this is off topic but in a video review of the midnight 3.0 i saw awesome pop up animations. the way pop upwindows jump from a corner when u run bench mark and all. can i ask how u get it. and if i can get expert advice for the music player and gps, i wud be grateful... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nFKT:
I did wipe the cache and tried two more times. Swype fcs if installed by apk if I install the edify zip that was posted here it works but is an outdated version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
any ideas? :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
I have noticed the same issue when trying to install the swype beta. Not a big deal for me as I thought I would just try it out. Using the gingerbread keyboard as of right now, but thought I would confirm.

Does the FC issue with the voice search still occur if I were to uninstall the stock browser?

Other than that, loving the ROM and I wanted to wish Medic and his family best of luck tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nFKT:
If you uninstall the stock it still does not work... if you get swype with the edify script it does work. Ill post that here when I get out of the office
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gowind:
hey can some one plz help me out with this issue. after flashing midnight rom 3.2, im facing 2 issues.

This is for the gps lock.

Try wiping the data for the music player.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I don't know that anyone got the swype beta working. You may need to mod it. If someone posts the .apk of the newest version. I look at it tonight before I shut things down for the week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hemi dart:
Thanks for all of your hard work and I hope all goes well tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
In order for swipe beta to work you need to remove libswypecore. However in order for the other to work libswypecore needs to be present.

[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
I've been having issues where sound just goes away while streaming video. I noticed this started happening soon after I flashed 3.2. Didn't have this issue on 3.1 below. Anyone else been having this issue? Comes back after reboot although its getting anoying! May just flash back to 3.1.

Edit: nevermind turns out it was tv shows stream that was messing up. Also figured out that if the audio goes away just go to audio setting and mess around with the sliders to control the volumes and sound will get restored.
