Did you flash any themes or any other mods on top of the ROM? Does this happen constantly.

I had an issue like this happen to me some time ago in Bonsi ROM but after flashing to this ROM haven't seen it happen. If you already flashed again and it keeps on happening, try the following:

-- Backup your apps with titanium and then wipe before you flash (warning) this will erase all your data, only the things you chose to backup from Titanium will be available to you.

-- Before you flash the ROM, wipe data 3 times. This will ensure that nothing carries over in the backup and everything is installed fresh.

-- Restore your apps.

This will take a while to get your phone up and running but its the only way to ensure that nothing old carries over to the new ROM.

pfdmedic,

Thank you for your answers on the release number and launcher questions a few pages back.

I actually went back and listened, then caught the ADW. I had never used Launcher Pro, heard raves, so trying and found the tweaks and settings, but am having some trouble with it, very laggy, and I have jacked up the speed levels.

I just wanted to be sure the release was right as well as kernel. And the LP isn't your problem, nice that you included.

My systems is flying, I don't know about quadrants and comparisons, but I had gone from 3.0 back to TER, and then this. It just feels SO MUCH SMOOTHER and FASTER, and the theme is great, I went 3.3 - very nicely done.

So THANK YOU for everything and helping get us newbies into users who can help the newbies converting. Its working together that counts.

And hope you don't mind these caps!!;)

Wired tether?

Does this ROM support Wired Tether? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Greubin:
We've gotta heartbeat..actually it's fully functional with DI18.

I struggled with Odin and thought my epic was bricked, but then I found this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=907261

My path..

1) Hold #1 and power to boot to Android download mode

2) connect usb cable

3) open Odin

4) flashed victory_8G_100528.pit only with re-partition checked.

5) reset phone, booted to download mode

6) connect usb

7) open odin

8) selected SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar only (no pit file)

9) start and completed...reboot.

Done.

Thanks All...now dare I flash CWM 3 one click and then midnight? :D

Greubin out...
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
Come on guys we really need to search here.. I had some big problems a few weeks ago and it took me hours to figure it out. No one on here especially Medic has hours to help me or you get things straight.. If you are too busy to devote 5+ hours to a flash you probably shouldn't do it.. And google everything if you google these easier questions you can have answers in literally seconds..

This is from the first post of this thread "Added wifi tether to SD Card (midNIGHT Extras)". Wifi tether is INCLUDED in the rom. Please read at least 25% of the thread, at least the first post before posting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Not trying to be cheeky, but you should read carefully before you respond to a post in such a manner. Dude asked about "WIRED" not WiFi tether.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devi0124:
Greubin.. DI18 works with Odin but these ROMs are only DK28 compatible. Please do not try to one click cwm3 and flash this or any other DK28 ROM over DI18. It will just lead to another page of why me posts that we have to read through to find good info. Just use the method u described using the DK28 tar
[Epic 4G Android Development] Greubin:
@devi0124 Yes..I realize this now after researching. Thanks for the heads up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
As Meetloaf13 pointed out, I was asking about WIRED tether, not WiFi tether. Don't jump on me if your attention span isn't long enough to read a one-line question.
[Epic 4G Android Development] otaehoon:
wifi will not turn on

Hi, I've been happily using this rom since about two weeks ago.

Everything seems to run smoothly except.. that sometimes the Wifi

icon won't respond in the system pull-down menu. So if I try to turn wifi on

under settings -> Wireless and network -> Wifi Settings.. it shows "error"

under the Wi-Fi word. Has anyone experienced this issue yet?

This has been happening a few times but inconsistently.

(Reboot solves the issue btw... but only until it does it again)

Please help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
This is a DK28 bug, its been around... and its annoying....
[Epic 4G Android Development] alexmart:
Is there a wireless tether for root that works with this rom? I downloaded it from the market but I get an error when the wifi driver.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
The app Wireless Tether will work fine for midNIGHT ROM. The ROM automatically installs root access. I do notice that once in a while the tether will give a connection error. Just turn off the tether, shut down the app, and restart the app. When a computer connects to the phone wirelessly for the first time, a shield icon should pop up in the phone's notification drawer. What that means is that access is currently denied for that computer. Click on the notification, and it will bring you into a different section of the Wireless Tether app that handles computer access. Press the "Enable" button in the upper right corner. This will prompt SuperUser to ask if you want to allow the app to have root access. Press "Allow." The button in the upper right should now be green. Select the computer (from a "list") that you want to allow access to by clicking the check box. Finally, press the Allow button that will pop up on the bottom of the screen. Your computer should now have full internet access.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XtaC318:
I'll take that as a good thing hehe.

Got to try and lighten to mood somehow on these forums :>

I cleared data; we'll see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
For Wireless Tether, I use my old .apk that worked before the market, version 15 for the I9000. Works flawlessly and less steps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Check the blog soon. I will have the fix for the voice search up there in a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Just an FYI and not saying this will work for everyone else but last night I wiped 3x the cache, delvic and data. Rooted w/One Click w/ CW3 and flashed 3.0 from 2.5 and everything works flawlesly. I didnt have to ODIN, which on my PC seems to be a pain in the ass sometimes cause it's a Dell and well, enough said about that LOL

Where did all the ringtones go?
[Epic 4G Android Development] aal1:
Just wanted to verify that the latest midnight is based upon Bonsai 2.0 or 1.1.4 ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
Based on 2.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] sbrown2680:
Thanks for the voice search fix zip! All is good with the world now!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Thanks for the fix pt, I actually just Unfroze "internet" in Titanium and it's working again. Didn't have to flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XtaC318:
Seems my problem still persists; and it only happens whenever my phone isn't in silent mode. So it's something with the notification ringtone; going to change that and see what happens. Bad selection mebe?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It just fixes the build number not a big deal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Not sure. I have tried every theme I have posted. I boot into clockwork and flash the theme. Then reboot and it there. Try 3.1 that's what I use right now......let me know....
[Epic 4G Android Development] LucJoe:
I have an idea!

Let's pool some donations together, buy his ebay auction, and refuse shipment. Then he has to keep the phone!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpj526:
So to flash this ROM... within clockwork, so I "Apply Update from SD Card", or do I "Install ZIP from SD Card"?

Then after I flash the rom...to install the theme.... which do I choose? "Apply Update from SD Card", or do I "Install ZIP from SD Card"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sbrown2680:
Okay, now I am not sure what caused the issue but I did find a work-around that at least worked for me.

After I flashed again I skipped the setup screen and when the select launcher came up I selected the froyo default. I opened the app drawer, opened contacts and hit the back button. That worked fine so I hit the home button and selected LauncherPro.

I then tried the contacts link in the dock and it wouldn't let me back out but the link on the homescreen worked fine.

I simply then changed the link in the dock to use the application and now all is well.

The only downside is since I didn't go through the standard setup I had to manually select all my apps to dowload through the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
Honestly, I have no proble with this idea. Midnight rom has consistently been the most stable and perfect froyo rom that it is sad to see pftmedic leave us...if it is just an issue of money then I'll gladly purchase some of the accesories from you and pitch to "buy" the phone off of ebay and refuse shipping. But if its an issue of gettng rid of the temptation of spending so much time playing with the phone then I understand
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpj526:
Nevermind.. got everything up and running and was VERY simple and straight forward. My Epic is BLAZING fast. I read somewhere on here that with EXT4 you see about a 15% increase in speed, but honestly, I would say it's more than that (it seems to me at least). I have no real way of measuring just how much faster it is (other than a quadrant score), but I'd say, realistically, the phone FEELS about 30-40% faster.

This is amazing. I'm glad we're finally able to truly unleash the processing power that our Epics have. A friend of mine said the other day, which I found quite funny and spot on.. he said, owning an Epic 4g right now (running the latest software that SPRINT has for us...currently 2.1) is like owning a Playstation 3 at the launch day. We all knew it had potential, we just weren't sure how to bring it out.

Thanks for your hard work, it's greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Apps repository updated....
[Epic 4G Android Development] om3ga1582:
I have run into the same issue when flashing new versions of this rom or bonsai. I always have to reset the shortcut for the contacts in launcherPro. Then usually after restarting a time our two it seems ro fix itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I'm going to climb onto my soap box and go off topic for a minute.

I don't know what to say. I have never had anyone rally around like this to help my family, never. I'm at a complete loss for words. This community has shown compassion and kindness to an otherwise perfect stranger. This community has given me a place to go and escape some of the challenges I face in my life. Even for a little while. I feels great to be able to contribute to this forum. Thanks you for reading my blog and learning about Autism and for all the kind words and prayers. I am truly humbled by all this.

Now I get off my soap box and get back to work. Well maybe in the morning I got to go to bed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Are you suggesting that Launcher Pro is the problem. Can anyone else confirm. That would be a really easy fix. You guys prefer Launcher Pro or ADW or stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asapelectric:
I really like LP. And I don't think it's a problem. Just my 2 cents. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] imtjnotu:
I wish this coul be usedwith out cm3
[Epic 4G Android Development] Willieumm:
Stock launcher, no contest. ADW and LP are both ugly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Launcher Pro by a landslide, and I have never had this problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] riceknight:
I love the new ADW EX, but Launcherpro has great widgets so its a wash for me. I'm just happy you got rid of Touchwiz.

For the guy calling it ugly.... have you ever seen how much you can customize these launchers?
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
Is anyone else ahving redirector problems whe using rom manager? When it reboots is just shows the android dude and an ! If I reboot into recover with quickboot or the 3 fingers it works fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sbrown2680:
Problem or not I am sticking with LauncherPro. Even if I continue to have the issue in the future I'll just use the work-around that I found. Also, considering the problem seems to be pretty isolated to myself and a few others, I wouldn't change anything if I were you.

nevermind...found it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devi0124:
Since flashing this rom I can no longer access my download folder in cwm3. Anyone else seen this? I can access it through my file manager but not on cwm3.

What happened to all of the ringtones? :(

Edit: Okay I just moved the audio folder from 3.0 my system/media/ folder and I got them all back. :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
As was stated its DK28 issue....but you should not have to reboot to fix it....just go into wifi settings and toggle it off/on....always works for ...

2.06 work just fine....

Not seeing this issue at all.....I see all my folders....
[Epic 4G Android Development] rasstar:
Is there any way to get touchwiz dock, default icons and ringtones on this? I don't see why the ringtones were removed. That's like the only things I don't like abou this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devi0124:
Thanks anyways
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
After flashing a theme, is there a simple way to remove it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
most of the time who developed the Theme has a way to remove it, you should consult with the creator.

ps. if you have a nandroid backup of before setting the theme, that could help you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Sure flash back to v3.0, and your back with the ringtones and icons. Also if you read back a few you should find a post with the ringtones as flashable zips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Short answer is no. The long answer is that it depends what the theme included. You could just replace the framework but there may be themed apps ect that would need to be pulled. You could just reflash the current ROM yo are on and that should restore the framework.

GPS issues

hey, i'm trying out the new rom and decided to do a full whipe back to stock with odin and rooted back to cwm3, but for some reason the GPS isn't working. i thought if i did everything back to square one i wouldn't have any problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Did you get a solid lock after each step?

If not, that may be why.

If you click the wiki link in my sig, theres a guide for gps troubleshooting, which is pretty standard for dk28 roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
soooo are we NOT supposed to wipe data when we flash this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
I can admit I was wrong, can you? You still need to search before asking a question even if it's not in the first post. So I'll make sure I read more carefully and we all will search for own answers first. Cool..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Uthman:
great update ptfdmedic; give zeam launcher and dolphin mini a spin =] I think you may like them
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Miren browser is the best browser hands down IMO!

http://www.appbrain.com/app/miren-browser/cn.miren.browser

ptfdmedic, do you plan on making some new themes? Maybe inspired by the new viper theme which looks amazing but with midNIGHT flavor? :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
Only if you're upgrading to 3.1 directly from 3.0. Then you can just flash it using Clockwork Mod 3.0, and you're good to go. If you're coming from a version lower than 3.0, then you need to do the standard wipe of data, cache, and dalvik 3x before flashing. It gets increasingly more complicated if you're coming from before midNIGHT 2.0 EXT4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
nah i didn't do a gps link up while in stock non root.

I guess I'll do it all over again. I wouldn't mind this if i didn't have the Error 43 USB problem all the time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
The new black search widget looks great, BUT the voice search still force closes. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:

[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Go the the OP's blog page at:

http://lostandtired.com/

click on android development, and you will see a link to fix broken voice search. Download the zip file and install using CW3. It will reinstall default browser, which is required for voice search.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
And so of course I clicked on the wrong link, thinking that the "google search" download in the edify zips section was the fix. Thanks for your help.

Any one else seeing ridicilously bad battery performance with this rom.. I've done the battery calibration at least 5 times and its not making a difference .. if it take it off the charger at 8am, by 1 pm its on 20% with normal use.. if I use it heavy it will he dead by 1pm.. any advice

For example today I unplugged my charger at 815 and its now 938 and I'm at 78%

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Hmmm...... I'm getting 14 to 16 hours with light to moderate use, I can usually make it a day without charging. And, I've stopped using app killer and juice defender. It's not the ROM itself, must be either something you've installed or your location.
[Epic 4G Android Development] usfslacker:
I was in the same boat as you were. I am absolutely in love with this ROM, but every time I flash it I can't even come close to making it through the day. One day in particular, I took it off the charger and didn't turn on the screen a single time and the phone was dead before 5pm. I'm looking forward to official FROYO to really get rid of weird issues like this in roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
If it was the ROM causing it, then every user would be having battery issues.

I would think that something went awry during the flashing process. Possibly a missed wipe or a funky zip.

I always download the rom zips to a computer as I have read over and over that these large files are messed up downloading straight to the sdcard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] usfslacker:
I've heard that as well, but the problem persisted throughout several flashes, reflashes, and even several versions of the ROM. I've even had it happen before (but less bad) when I flashed the rom and never even set up anything or downloaded any apps with the exception of my original gmail.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
easy way to rule out the rom is to try another rom. Of course you'll need to keep all else constant, meaning do everything the same, just on a different rom.

Curious, do you get bad reception? Have you updated your prl?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
My battery is great, better than 3.0. However one thing I noticed that I had quit checking is Time out of Service. One of the battery fixes I had to implement when I first got it, ran the same battery life you are getting and almost returned it, was to hit Airplane Mode (I leave off 30 seconds or so), checking running programs. ORM is coming back in, force close, then turn off Airplane Mode.

I did this habitually, but with 3.0 hadn't noticed Time out of service. I see it again, runs 50% without the toggle.

In case you can't find it, its under Settings/AboutPhone/BatterUse/then either Cell Standy or Phone Idle (mine now shows nothing so can't remember which).

See if it helps, can't hurt
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
This is a known tip that is not very well known ;)

What is ORM though?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I recently went from 2.5 to 3.0 and I see far better battery life now than I had before. I've been up since 6:30 AM (it's now 1:45PM my time) and I'm still at 57%. Before 3.0 it would have been toast already. I'm also running a live wallpaper too, was listening to music for a couple hours this morning, made 4 calls and have been texting throughout the day. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I wiped all 3x and flashed 3.0 from 2.5 and everything works flawlesly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Battery after Volume hack

Interesting thing happened. Flashed the VIPERmods volume hack running the 3.0 ROM. Had 57% battery showing when I pwered down. After flashing the Volume hack zip and rebooting I had 19%

Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I believe that's also a DK28 bug estimating the battery. Its happened to me before. You can erase the battery stats and the recalibrate to address this issue, worked fine for me.

Sent from my Epic 4G powered by midNIGHT 3.1 w/ EXT4 ROM AIO
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I'd say that's a bad idea, since that Volume hack has been baked into Viper since 4.x and wasn't intended to be individually flashed since then. I'm guessing that file was never meant to be flashed on another person's ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I am on 2.9 + EXT4 (downloading 3.1 now).

I noticed better battery life after I did the battery calibration. Also, I notice my phone lasts longer when I charge via USB port compared to using the wall outlet charge.

Also, keeping GPS on is a HUGE battery killer. I have been using location via network as I don't use my phone for navigation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
From reading prev Viper threads and watching Vids before learning of midNIGHT ROMS it was said that the VIPERmods work with any ROM

ptfdmedic has it linked on his development page too so I assumed it would be fine
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
Meetloaf13,

;) Back at you

I know its old hat, but I had let it go and my battery was chomping, so I had to pickup my old habits again to manage!! Getting lax in the days of flashy roms vs 2.1.

Some people might not know, so always good for a reminder. My cell standby has gone back to 50%, so I need to remember to do this every time I boot or add something via cwm.

Anyway, I think that was a typo, meant DRM, again old hat. I hate that Media Hub, but its off however this was linked to it, so I force close in running apps.

I almost returned my phone, stupid sales people said I expected too much, but once I started reading these forums, learned to manage. And this rom is doing a great job on speed and conservation.

So it was just a thought, thanks for not flaming.
