I had this with DK28 and 3.3...but I don't have this problem now...I tried a few times and it switched fine between keyboards...glad swype is working for you
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Just uninstall it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
Settings-Applications-Manage Applications

Click the "All" tab on top and Swype will be in there
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I really don't know what to say.... Thank you...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
To completely uninstall swype, just go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Swype -> Uninstall.

In order to enable swype and eliminate the force closes, you must first completely uninstall swype. From there, connect your phone to your computer, go into the midNIGHT ROM EXTRAS folder, and use 7-zip to extract the contents of the zip file containing swype. Then, navigate to subfolders containing the swype .apk and the library files (the library file is in a different subfolder. Copy both files to your flash drive. After that, use a file manager like Root Explorer to copy each of the above files into their proper subfolder (which matches the file system that you found each of the files in). Finally, click on the swype.apk once it's in its proper place and install. No should no longer have any force closes. Then, to use swype, go into Settings -> Locale and text, and select BOTH swype and the regular google keyboard. Now enter an application that uses text input, and a keyboard (probably the google one) will pop up with an dial icon. Click on that icon to select which keyboard you want to use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Swype is such a pain in the ass. I'm going to just pull it next build and make it strictly optional. I don't run into problems when I test it but I don't ever use it. Can you just reflash the swype zip. Does that help...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I just looked at the swype install I have set up and there is no reason it should be crashing. Can someone try flashing the zip in the extras folder and see if that fixes it.... Maybe the lib file is corrupt?

Please let me know...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Is it possible to have the swype with the skin that comes with Stock? I love that keyboard. :>
[Epic 4G Android Development] Johnny.Bravo:
I had some issues with an older version of Swype at first so I uninstalled it, and then went to the midNIGHT Extras folder in Astro and installed the new version of Swype. Works like a charm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Ok. That answers that question. But the lib file may still be corrupt in the Standard upgrade zip. I may have added the old one my mistake which would explain the FC's. It would also explain why installing the one from the extras folder would work. Thanks JB..

JB,

Has palringo been working for you? Mine is still dead. We will need to move it think.... Any ideas...
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
I've been using MIDnight ROM since December. Always use Swype. I have never had Swype FC on me... ever. In fact the only time I have FC issues at all with MIDnight ROMs is when I get "creative" and muck things up. If I do I go back to the beginning and reflash more carefully and everything works out.

Once set up right the number of FC's on MIDnight ROMs is so few and far between that I'm not even trying others anymore. Always great work.

THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Johnny.Bravo:
No, I can't log in to Palringo either. We need some sort of chat room.

I just read some good feedback about Trillian. Don't know much about it though so I can't really comment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amego.y:
You can extract it from the old version, then use the command blow:

'adb push %yourpath%/animation.zip /system/media/'
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Same thing here. Lots of force closes on Swype after initial flash. Deleted it from system, then flashed the newest swype zip in the extras folder and that fixed everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmkasperek:
oh mu wow nut i would of done the exact same thing
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmkasperek:
i havent had any issues with the swype but as you rob i dont use it i use gingerbread keyboard or i just open the phone i think you should go and have it optinial

Swype Uninstall

Ok, so I go to the app in app manage, and it will not let me uninstall... All the "Buttons" are non-clickable so to say... Not sure what to do..
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It's unistallable. I installed it to data. If you have rootexplorer then go to data/app and delete it
[Epic 4G Android Development] rbrthrly90:
Do not have root explorer... Is that the only program that will delete it???
[Epic 4G Android Development] cabi24:
Try "Root Uninstaller", it is free from the market.

Anyone have problems with handcent? I tried the zip and from the market and it just fcs

Anyone else having an issue where once the upgrade to 4.1 is applied the clockwork mod wont mount the sd card making .zips unflashable? I odined and reflashed but ran into the same problem..

Make sure you have the stock sms installed...worked for a few users :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
If you use the quickboot, that will happen. Use the 4-finger or shutdown and use the 3- finger method to get into CW
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Trillian pwns.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rbrthrly90:
Yeah the SD card thing happens only on Quickboot for me as well...

Used Root Uninstaller... Now I have no problems at all!!!!! Not that I had a lot to begin with...

Thank you very much for this great ROM, and thank you and everyone else for the help that you give...
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
So I just found out that if you only flash handcent, you can receive texts, but you won't receive picture messages. You need the stock mms to receive pics apparently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Everyone should take in counter that these apps (hancent, go sms & more) though they can be used to replace the stock app they need the stock app to operate, they do not work down to the core with the os, they just use the layers they need and make them self the defualt interaction.

Though we can remove many apps from the rom and have a slim operating system, there are many softwares (as we've seen so far) that operate at a different level in the kernel, hence the necesity to have them installed even if we don't use them.

I saw on twitter there were supposed to be a few themes for this rom but I don't see the links to them anywhere. Anyone know if there are themes yet? I tried battery mod from a45nova but the installation aborts, and cannot get it to work. I really just need a working battery percent mod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] durrett syndrome:
I am having the same issues...i tried everything the zip included, deleted and dled from market and had the stock sms and never got past the FC. However, I did try GoSMS (which I didnt like) and it worked fine...weird just one of those things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Go to www.lostandtired.com. Click the android development page. Scroll down to the bottom and click on the picture of the theme with battery mod you like. That's it, just click the picture.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
You should make a thread in themes/apps for your themes...B/c they Waaaaaaaay better than the other 2 or three we have IMO
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
Thanks. I saw those as I was scrolling through, just thought they were screenshots of the rom, I missed them as themes.

Wifi teather just reboots my phone... After I push the wifi button the phone trys to start the teather, and then just reboots... Very weird.. Anyone else have this issue, or is there a fix???
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
What version are you using. I have heard the best ones right now are pre9 and pre10, but it depends on your phone. there is a thread about it somewhere.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rbrthrly90:
Not sure what version it was... I deleted it and went to the market and downloaded it from there.. Working fine now.. Must be an old one that I was using or something...

Are you talking about when the ROM first boots and you see the android guy?

I had an issue there, don't try setting anything up at that point... just click skip on every step. then manually set up your accounts.

boot to recovery, flash midnight v4 standard from within the midnight extras folder; it contains all the google apps you need for setup wizard to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kwazytazz:
hi do we still need to flash the genocide oc kernel to fix the 4g if for midnight 4.1??
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I mean no disrespect by this but I need to address this issue. So here it goes.

I make it a point to try to make the midNIGHT ROM accessible to users of ALL experience levels. I really go out of my way to make sure new user have very clear cut instructions and videos guiding them through the bulk of the process. I can only take this so far. You as the user have to meet me half way. The best way you can do that is by READING everything that goes along with each ROM release. If for any reason you need something CLARIFIED by all means ask away.... But PLEASE don't bombard me with questions simply because you choose not to read the instructions.

I do my best to help as many people as possible. There are also quite a few people along with my testers that go out of their way to field questions. These people are awesome and willing to help anyone that at least tries to help themselves.

You have to understand the shear amount of email and messages I get everyday asking the very same questions that are explained CLEARLY in the instructions. I simply don't have the time or energy to reply to every single one.

I promise to continue to provide support to the very best of my ability (which admittedly is hit or miss right now) but I need you folks to do your part as well. I don't want to come off sounding like an assh@le but I can only do so much. I love being able to help out as many as I can but in order to do that I need a little bit of help. You can help by searching for your answers before asking. Maybe reread the instructions or go back a few posts and see if your question was answered already. It will work out better for everyone and help to keep the thread manageable.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular so I don't want anyone to feel bad or become intimated to the point they are afraid to participate in the thread. My goal is for everyone to learn a little bit. I'm happy to answer questions, just please try to find the answer first. That's the very best way you are going to learn but I'm here if you can't find it.

Oh...and there is no need to justify asking a question either. So please don't feel the need to preface your post with something like, "I searched and couldn't find....". I know going forward this will undoubtedly be an issue again... However, I'm confident that it will be less and less of a problem. All I ask it that we try.... :)

Thanks

Now...I need to climb down off my soap box and get back to porting more themes :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
4.1 is using the genocide kernel..... Please read the above post :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
This actually an issue I haven't been able to fix yet. The auto backup build in to android appears to be missing from the privacy settings. I'm looking into it..

jdelano, are you saying you have it working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
OK, I know it says auto rotate fixed, so as I had a 2+ second rotate lag, figured I would try to start all over, as some have said doing the sensorcalib on DI18 first helps. Anyways, when I saw the update was a quick one, did the 4.1 update, tried sensorcalib again, and bam... worked... idunno if this is the auto rotate you set out to fix, but mine works finally! VERY happy with ROM! Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Version 4.0 wasn't rotating due to an issue with the clockwork redirector. Adding the Genocide Kernel into version 4.1 fixed the auto rotate. The Lag is a separate issue altogether due to EB13 (and DK28). The Lag is fixed with the /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha fix. No need to go back to DI18 to do this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
So does this rom support touch wiz? I love touchwiz....

Also i am new to the Epic 4g.

I had an evo 4g before and was able to use unrevoked to get root on it... it was easy as cake.....

With my Epic 4g from Sprint I updated the phone to Fryo 2.2 via the update.zip file posted here in xda.

I want to root and what is the best method to do so... Should i wait a few days to see if their is some new method since 2.2 fryo just came out? (also does the fact that sprint and samsung pulled the update matter any?)

This rom seem nice....
[Epic 4G Android Development] rbrthrly90:
Just look at the One click root method...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xddcrazy:
The Circle battery theme locks me into the bootloader. Am I doing anything wrong by just flashing it? I tried it on 4.1 and thought it might be an upgrade issue so I reflashed 4.0 and still got the issue. it just goes into the cyanogen android circle loader thingy and vibrates twice and restarts the whole beautiful thing. it is really pretty to look at but I think I want to play a bit more with my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You need to let the ROM boot up first before flashing the Theme. Not sure why but just the way it is.... So boot up first, then go back into recovery and flash the theme.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
While I personally HATE TW you can certainly flash the TW restore zip in the midNIGHT ROM Extras folder located on your sdcard after flashing the midNIGHT ROM v4.0 then flashing v4.1 over top ......
[Epic 4G Android Development] Caballero777:
is there by any chance that you can tear out the gingerbread from the i9000 that was just leaked and post it on the epic???
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Sadly, no. You cannot just put something like that from one phone to another. There are way too many differences in drivers to be able to run it. Not to mention GSM v CDMA, and no FFC or 4g. Dameon and some others are working on a CM7 port, which is gingerbread. Wait patiently.

Are there any significant performance benefits or advantages of This ROM+ EB13 vs a DK28 ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Its a lot more stable and smoother
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Not to mention an overclocked kernel and a few bugs worked out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmgill:
Agreed. I have SetCPU set to 1-1.2GHz and everything is wonderfully smooth and responsive, perhaps even more so than DI18. Browsing the web with DolphinHD and the overclocked processor is a dream and approaches the browsing speed of my netbook.

If anyone liked TouchWiz try GO Launcher, it can do horizontal and look like TW yet be much more efficent.

Is there an easy way to get the ringtones that were in DK28?

I only saw tis happen once, but after installing fresh last night to 4.1, this morning I hit the back button after I read an e-mail, and the phone went instantly to the blue android screen with the circle going around it (it skipped the Samsung welcome part). Hasn't happened since, so no big deal.

How I went to v4.1 from 3.3

First I took out all the zips from the midnight extras folder.

Copied the APKs and the ringtones I wanted from those extras zips into the ROM zip. Copied the standard update APKs .. into the app folder in the rom zip.

I downloaded the tar of eb13 that was already rooted and had cwm3/6.

Odined that to my phone.

Booted normal, did nothing with google, copied 4.0 rom zip over.

shut down (love the TV signal type shut down animation!!)

3 fingered (I meant to try the 4 finger but forgot) to recovery

it converted to ext4

after that finished I flashed v4.0

booted and went through the google setup like normal, no force closes at all.

shut down .. applied 4.1 update reboot .. 4 fingered (COOL!!) to recovery and flashed the theme (blue circle)

silky, buttery, velvety smoothness of midNIGHT !!

So I figure if they flash update before 1ft boot then they should experience less force closing. As I have all the google apps available when I boot for the first time.

Hope that helps.

So I have Midnight 4.1 along with the circle battery theme but I noticed that it only has the gingerbread keyboard. I like using swype most of the time so I tried installing the "Swype Restore (Edify)" zip from medic's blog... didn't work and kept on force closing.

Can you guys help me get swype back on my epic?

[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
In the "Midnight ROM Extras" folder on your SD card, you can flash ringtones for the Epic, Nexus S, Rhodium, Fascinate, and others. No ringtones came specifically with DK28, they were phone specific.

Haven't had any random reboots with this. Let us know if there are any more and if there's a pattern to them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1greek4u:
Thanks for the quick reply. The zip isn't in the extras folder but I think this is because like an idiot, I deleted the SD card folder from the Midnight ROM BYOR zip before I transferred it to my phone since I was planning on doing the standard rom install. Here I am downloading the whole 300mb file over again, haha.

Wonderful work on this ROM, btw, I love it. I swore I wouldn't find something I like better than the syndicate rom/phoenix kernel combo I had prior but I think now I have. :D

I'm having trouble installing swype from the extras folder. I flashed the stock samsung keyboard along with swype thinking I would have all three input methods: gingerbread, samsung keyboard, and swype.

After I flashed the two, the only keyboard I had available was the stock samsung one. Thinking that the keyboards might be mutually exclusive (you can only install one), and that the samsung keyboard was prob the last one I flashed, I removed the LatinMe apk's and flashed swype only.

No dice. All I'm getting is an "open keyboard to compose message" after I flashed swype only. Am I supposed to be wiping before I install these zip files?

The only way to edit the battery mod if to replace the framework. If I get a chance maybe I put a stock battery theme together with the just the evoke battery. I used to have that a while ago. Honestly, though it's not real high on my priority list right now.

I can't believe how much snappier my phone is with this ROM + EB13 over DK28. When people said it was faster I thought maybe gaming would be a bit smoother or programs would load slighly faster, but no, the whole UI is orders of magnitude smoother and snappier.
