Let me clear a few things up.

1) It says Bonsai 3.0.0 in the about phone because that's the kernel version.

2) FC's may be an issue if coming from a different ROM. I may do away with the auto-backup and restore in the future because of the problems that arise with that process and BYOR edition. The problem is that when you flash the v4.2 there are literally very few apps in the ROM. The backup restore process is assuming you have the same apps installed. It restores data for apps that aren't there. That's my understanding. Now once you have created your first BYOR then the backup and restore works great. For now if you get hit with FC's then wipe x3 and reflash.

3) Not everyone wants the Reboot mod. So I don't include it by default. It's in my themes. Yes the themes are all ready... Wipe the cache prior to flashing the themes for the best stability.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mroien:
Do you have to wipe everything if your coming from an earlier version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
Amazing Rom. Thank you for all of your hard work. I read the story The "bare handed man"........wow it definitely makes you stop and think. Keep up the awesome work that you do!
[Epic 4G Android Development] runner77:
Woooohooooo! Back up to 2101 on Quadrant!!!

Excellent work Rob and team!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Only if you experience problems...

Thank you for reading. I just want people to stop and think instead of impulsively judge.... Thanks again...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
The fc's on swype are because the base rom does not have the lib files necessary for swype. Solution to this is before you flash the rom, go into the sd section, go to swype, grab the lib files, then copy them into the system/lib directory. Alternatively, when you flash swype from extras folder, it installs the apk and the lib files.

Honeycomb theme puts my phone into a continuous bootloop on the animation screen...

N E 1 else having this problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
There's a new method of the CIQ removal that themes are incompatible with, don't flash any themes until they're updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
The FC problems seem to occur when restoring an app that needs lib files to work right (ie, swype). The app is restored, but nothing else. You may want to consider changing instructions to tell people to wipe if they are coming from a different rom. The auto-backup/restore is pretty neat, as it is less prone to errors than CWM backup/restore or using titanium,
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Already did that... I know people hate starting over but if your coming from a different ROM it's the best solution....

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] runner77:
I just installed the Blue Honeycomb theme without any issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Oh.. and your right about the lib files. I pulled them out when I cleaned the rom so people didn't have conflicts with different versions of swype. But theres always a down side. Your right about the fix to.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You need to let the phone boot up one time before flashing the theme. Also wipe the cache before flashing the theme. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I thought I was helping. :(

Anyways, does this rom support 1x/3G icon in the status bar? :D

If not, will it be implemented in a future release?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Not sure why, but after flashing all of my contacts did not make it into the phone. Reverting back to 4.1 until I can figure out why. It does look like its the contacts from google though.

*edit* Its not the contacts from google, its the contacts from exchange....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
My Backup Root from market works very, very well on switching from ROM to ROM. Give it a shot, it's more user friendly than titanium backup. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cabi24:
Wow!! I just scored a 2392 on Quadrant!!!

and that was without closing other apps, overclocked to 1.2!

This is working AWESOME!!!!

Thanks Rob! Btw, Keep up the good work with raising autism awareness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Rob! You have the download link going straight to the Android Developement section of your site! No one will know anything about Autism if you don't put it back the way it was!

EDIT: I love the true or false questions during the flashing process. Very clever. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Thanks for pointing that out. Didn't notice. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
Hey rob I cleared cache and flashed the honeycomb theme again and still no dice man. Other than that this rom is so fluid and awesome. Great work man...

[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
i jus flashed this ROM and it seems excellent so far! great work and thanks!

the only minor snag i have seen so far is my 'about phone' in settings force closes when i try to open it. i flashed the BYOR, then flashed individual zips from the extras folder..... could i have forgotten something? wouldn't mind getting that working. come to think of it, i also did a restore of just my apks(no data) using AppBackupReinstall. any ideas? thx

but yeah, outstanding work, sir :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
wasn't that the gingerbread... keyboard? email? flashing one of those two in 4.1 was the fix... but i can't remember which one off the top of me head.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
oh ok, so i may just need to include one of those things? thanks, i'll have a look for the fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JojoSteez:
Just wanted to share what I usually do when flashing. I use titanium backup to backup all my apps. Then I flash the ROM, reboot, flash theme, reboot. Then I restore all my apps with titanium. Seems easier than flashing zips individually and I get all my apps and data restored. No FCs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
Installing the Gingerbread Keyboard will fix that
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Wow, Quadrant reached a little over 2400 on my second try. Everything aside from the swype fc's is perfect and silky smooth. Thanks Medic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Handcent from market FC's. The one in the Midnight extras works but, when market wants to update it, it's screwed. Not sure if the smileys and emoji plugins are going to work on the zip one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I have been using the updated handscent with this rom for 3 days. Did you do any sort of restore? Try uninstalling handscent and flash again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
This has been discussed. You need the correct lib file. Flash swype from the extras folder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
This update backs up and restores all the files after its installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
The problem I had was that I flashed the one from the extras folder and then saw it in market and it was still offered as a download. So, I then installed it and that is when I got FC's. I uninstalled, and flashed again and it was fine but, it was still showing up in market. So, if you flash the one in the extras, you cannot update it in market (I tried this a few times).

The solution was, I just reflashed the ROM, installed handcent straight from market and it is fine, now. I don't understand why it's even a zip in the extras when you can get a fully working one, that updates, in market. Is there something from the market edition that I should be concerned about?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
thanks i just came from Android Creative Syn. rom which is awsome also.... I thought i try this one with touch wiz as i hate launcher pro with a passion....
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
With any ROM, you can choose your launcher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Since this is a BYOR (Build Your Own Rom) Rob has it in the extras folder so you can add it to your rom before you flash. If you do it that way it updates from the market correctly. I am not sure why flashing it after the rom is causing that problem. He will have to explore that issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Yes, but if you have any problems (this normally is caused when coming from a non midnight rom) you may have to do a wipe x3 to get everything to work. Since this is a BYOR many of the apk's you get with other roms are not included and thus will cause force closes if you don't wipe. If you already were on one of robs builds you should be fine though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
So I also tried flashing the Frozen rom which is also a no CIQ rom, with the same results. Everything in exchange ports over except the contacts.....I get the emails and calendar just no contacts. Any suggestions, I will try the 4.2 again this weekend when I have time and see if it is a setting, but its funny it works on 4.1 but not 4.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
Can anyone direct me to the battery mods used in the midnight themes? I like the solid blue circle thats in one of the themes, and is in bonsai, but I do not want to add a theme. all I can seem to find is old stuff.

Great ROM, and thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
Perfect. My friend doesn't really want to wait and have his phone out for a hour or so backing up and installing everything all over. He is happy with Midnight so far as well..

and Great job Rob with this rom.

Also read some of your stuff on your site. Im truly sorry for what you have to go through
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
He doesn't want your pity he wants your support by spreading the word. Like his blog on facebook/twitter or like some of his posts.

Edit: This was not meant as a rude comment or to make you or anyone else feel bad. Sorry if it came of wrong. Also I am not speaking for Rob, but based on his sig, his numerous posts on xda, and his blog I know that his goal is to spread awareness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
There is an app called battery % mod that you can choose the mod you want. Just make sure you use only the mods for the epic 4g (the dk28 ones work fine if there aren't any eb13). The nice thing is you have multiple options and no flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
Ive passed the site to a few people around my job. And Im still young at 24 but autism is something that frightens me when I have children one day and also cause someone in my family has a child with it
[Epic 4G Android Development] f16pilot:
Why not let Rob speak for himself? I'm sure you wouldn't want someone speaking for you when replying back to a heartfelt sentiment. Providing help with the Midnight ROM is one thing, but wedging yourself into someone's personal life is another. Jus' Sayin'.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
I am seeing the same thing. Uninstalling and flashing now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I wasn't meaning to hurt anyones feelings and I am sorry if I came off poorly, but Rob has shared numerous times that his goal with this rom is to provide a very clean rom that is a platform for spreading autism awareness. Look at his sig. He wants you to read about autism and spread the news. I am not trying to speak for him at all, but just read a couple days of his blog and you will see the life he lives and I just want to help out as much as I can. I know he had a very rough night last night and is trying to recover from that. Again, I am sorry if I came off poorly, that was not my intention.

Previous post has been edited for clarification.
[Epic 4G Android Development] magicwands:
quick silly question

I am running the stock [Stock Flash][Odin]EB13 Extended CW2.5+RFS or CW3+ext4 2/24/2011 inc. Root+Redir. and everything is running great. If I switch to this rom does the Kernel change negate my ability to simply Nandroid back to my current setup should I have issues?

Thanks! And thanks for all the hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
I'm really loving this Rom so far. I haven't had really any issues as of yet. Really fast and smooth and I just noticed the themes with the battery mods on his site. Nice work. Thanks again for everything that you do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] f16pilot:
The fact that you spoke up for Rob, speaks volumes about how his story and perseverance has touched your life, as it has touched mine and many others. It's easy to be drawn into his story and be a spokesman for his cause, but we need to be careful to not speak for Rob in all situations. I'm sure your intentions were noble, in that you also want to increase autism awareness, but, as you said, your response came off a little bit nastier than I think you intended.

...But, how about that ROM? :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
I did the same and it worked at first. I then restarted and was met with FC's. Are you seeing the same thing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hammerbrain:
Nicely put f16...I'm lovin this ROM...smooth, smooth, smooth....
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
THIS STOPS RIGHT HERE.

Rob has made it clear that one of his intentions of producing the ROMs was for all to benefit of an awesome custom setup of our phones but also to spread the word that Autism is REAL and the families who's affected need of our time and money to help get the funding necessary for tests and research that can one day discover and bring the cure to this disease.

I my self have very close brothers in arms that have autistic children and I fully support this cause that they and Rob have ventured in to spread awareness. Personally I think that Rob has taken it to the next level.

Now this thread is not for a He said or She said or not even for who responds to what, I can a sure that the initial response that started this backfire was given with respect, though its was very direct.

Lets share good words between us, and support for the problems that anyone may have installing or using this ROM, and lets leave our emotions aside, we are all here for one cause.

So, please lets move on.

WHOA!

DAYUMMMMM! This ROM is SUPER SICK! I thought it couldn't get any better, before the no Carrier IQ. It's even better, now. What the hell else could improve?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
@buggerritt

Is Handcent still working for you? You see my post about FC's reappearing after rebooting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Yes. To fix it, I wiped 3x and reflashed the ROM. Then I installed Handcent from market. I did not flash the one in the midnight extras folder at all. It works perfectly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
I did the same and it seemed to work. I then rebooted and FC's returned. Might try it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Good luck. I suggest that once you have it working, perform a CWM backup. Then, if something else breaks it, you can just do full restore to where you have it working.

Rob just wanted to let you know your Rom is flawless so far. Last night I had some problems at first, but wiped data 5x, cache 5x and went into advanced and wiped delvic 5x.

Second flash went perfect. I am running the standard version with Adw ex launcher and the Honeycomb battery theme. Awesome Awesome Awesome. Thank you so much.

BTW... what settings in setcpu is everybody running?

Sent from my Midnight ROM 4.2 enabled Epic 4g :-P
[Epic 4G Android Development] aal1:
I applied over 4.0 w/updated 4.1 laid over the top of it, with Genocide Kernel, Spare Parts, ext4, class10 sd card, apps moved to SD.

Didnt wipe at all.

Downloaded new blue battery 4 also.

Installed fine, had massive FCs until I installed newest swype from Midnight Extras folder.

Rebooted, added battery mod, muiu music player (edify) and black dialer.

Setcpu to ondemand 1200/400 on boot, ran Quadrant. Got 2200/2300/2350-ish runs over ten runs.

Before was getting in the 1400s (low numbers occurred after eb13, dk28 numbers were in the 2300s or better).

All in all a good ROM so far, will update as the day progresses.

Donation is coming your way right now, Rob!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
I've been lucky with no FC at all so far. Handcent is working flawlessly and everything is working very fast. I haven't done any tweaks on the kernal using setcpu yet, liking it the way it is right now. And finally a new rom where I can get my boot sounds to work. I'm one of the few that like my boot sounds so I'm really thrilled. I really like the honeycomb battery mod. Is there a way on the Epic w/EB13 to change the 3g and wireless icons in the notification bar without adding a whole theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
Do you have the stock sms/mms installed as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyken:
Upgraded on two Epic's so far...Coming from 4.1.

I think the Swype in the standard pack may not be the same as the Swype "newest" in the extras folder. I got FC's on both upgrades before flashing "newest" Swype from folder.

Also, maybe I'm confused but wasn't the last Bonsai version 3.0.0 and the latest is 3.0.1? If yes, why is 3.0.0 showing under "about phone"? Not that big a deal, so those of you that like to flame (and you know who you are), chill.

Again, great job to those of you involved in the development of this ROM. Also, thanks to those of you on this forum that are constructive in their feedback.

Ken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
There maybe that will explain the 3.0 for you. I had to go back a few pages but maybe that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Yes. I flashed that from the extras folder. You need that or Go SMS for any mms to work. sms will work without it but, not mms
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
Thats what I thought and have done so. Still striking out here.

Hmmmm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyken:
Yea, I saw that but not really. 3.0.0 vs 3.0.1. Oh well, like I said...not a big deal.

On a separate not, getting massive problems on upgrading my wife's epic. Massive FC's, boot loops. Every step done exactly as my Epic.

Ken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
The best solution for this found in testing is to do 3x wipe on data, cache, dalvik and then try it as a clean install. Once everything loads you can restore your data only from nandroid or using mybackup/titanium. If you restore all aps and some of them are not included in the rom it may not restore correctly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] js042507:
Hey Rob, excellent rom! midNIGHT rocks. I've been using it for a while now.

Ok so this is for anybody on these forums that can help me. Its probably a really simple issue, but I can't figure it out?! Well, I was running midnight version 4.1 without any issues whatsoever. A few days after using it I flashed the twilight kernel from ACS. Still no issues at all. When 4.2 was released last night I flashed it, of course! And now there is one little 'bug'. Everything else is fine so far, but Titanium Backup. All of my apps are detected and linked in the market. Most of my user apps can uninstall and reinstall successfully. However, I can't uninstall specific apps like the email and google talk. Pretty much the ones that are included with the standard upgrade zip under the midnight extras folder. Also, every single app in titanium greys out the move-to options and remove from market. And when I try to explore the app I get the "failed to locate apk" error? The apps on my sd are detected within the system settings properly.

Another thing to point out is that when I upgraded to 4.2 I only wiped the caches. I didn't do a a factory wipe because its the same rom. But since I switched kernels maybe that messed it up. I don't wanna do another stupid complete wipe/restore. Its so annoying!

If anyone cab assist with this issue I would be very grateful. :-)

Thanks.

hi, has anyone noticed when you're connected to wifi, the signal drops off quite often? it picks right up again, but sometimes the operation will time out because the signal has dropped. i noticed this on Syndicate Frozen as well..... any ideas? could it be an EB13 thing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Since it is a BYOR many of the apps you had on 4.1 are not included on 4.2 until you flash that standard zip. There is probably some sort of issue because of that since you did not wipe data coming from 4.1. The safest way is to do the wipes on everything, flash the rom, flash standard, then restore data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
I have not seen this at all bro.....and I run wifi 90% of the time....might be a signal issue where you are at...is it happening on the same wifi signal...if so i would start there and see whats up...isp, router. etc...
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
i think it is happening with all wifi signals, but lemme do some further testing. Musclehead said he was noticing this also when i mentioned it in the ACS thread. wish i could fix this.

update: i'm leaning towards this having to do with being too far away from the signal.... haven't seen the drop off so far when in the same room as the router. it could be some interference making the signal weaker out in my room than it was before. thx flyers
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Are you restoring data or something?

All I did was wipe, reflash, flash market from zip, open market and download handcent. I ran it, immediately to check. It ran fine. Then I flashed stock sms/mms and rebooted to check. It worked fine. then I backed up with cwm and continued to flash all the other stuff and install all my apps from market. I did backups at points just so I wouldn't have to go too far back if needed. I never had to restore, though. I made sure not to flash the handcent in extras at all.

Good luck.

i would however like to report that i've been having serious issues with anything over 3.3 midnight on the epic 4g. bone stock EB13, CWM 3 --> EXT

i get force closes on email, swype, unexplained reboots.

trying to adb install anything just reboots the phone

the boot logo is the default samsung S with an "ANDROID" text going vertically over it (like what you'd see in the emulator)
[Epic 4G Android Development] js042507:
@flyers2114

Hey thanks. But I just don't wanna wipe! I may have to though. Id rather figure out the issue you know? So yes it only the apps that can't be installed from the standard zip package. And all apps still fail to locate apk. Ugh!

Sent from the most 'Epic' phone in the world! ...Using XDA Premium app :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
The boot logo issue and reboots for sure will be fixed by wipe/reflashing the ROM (it may take a few times). Make sure to flash Swype (newest) from extras folder. Not sure on the email since I use K-9. It has not been an issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
