Hi pftmedic. thanks for your Rom and the work you put into it. Need some help though:

Which patch should I flash if I originally installed v5 No journaling and then did a nandroid/restore to get EXT4 journaling on? (I did this becaue there wasn't a journaling version at the time).
[Epic 4G Android Development] prem2k55:
I am on I am on midNIGHT ROM v5.1 (BYOR Edition) EXT4 ONLY/Journaling ON EC05

I have seeing Data Network connectivity issue. Also I am not able to update PRL since it says Network Error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
I was already rooted with CW 2.5, flashed all data 3x, installed Midnight ROM v5 Standard Edition (RFS) and the samsung screen kept going in a loop. Is there something I did wrong?

Update: I just flashed again with no wipe because I did it previously, and it is now booting into the blue circle and android guy
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
How can I uninstall the clock package from google?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeonbuilder:
Worked fine for 3 days now I get constant FC with the camera.

Anyone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
You can just flash a different clock from inside the midnight extras folder. It will take place of your current clock package.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Sounds like something became corrupted. Possibly you performed a battery pull or abrupt shutdown. Try reflashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Ok thanks.

Also, what is the default setting for the CPU and voltage levels. Is it already set to 100/1200 or do I need to get SetCPU to do that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
you need to use setcpu
[Epic 4G Android Development] durhamite:
I am having the same problem. This problem was not present in 5 or 4.3 only in the 5.1 update. Does anyone have a fix for this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Question about boot screen

Why do I feel as if the boot screen with the blue android man and blue circle takes so long to boot up? It seems it wasn't that way before with the Sprint Stock ROM. Any advice?
[Epic 4G Android Development] durhamite:
I had to go back a bit... just found this post. will try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Is there any way to speed up the boot animation process?
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
No, boot takes what it takes. Its your system loading up. It will take longer the first boot after wiping because dalvik is forming its cache when it boots. It should get better after 2nd boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Will increasing the maximum ghz from 1.0 to 1.2 help speed up the boot process? I noticed my SetCPU is set as Conservative and the number is 200/1000.

I wanted to know the process on how to overclock it to 1.2 Ghz but undervolt it at 1ghz. Can someone explain step-by-step how to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I'll give 5.1 another try...but last time it removed my swype, IDK why.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
You can find the Swype restore zip from the android development page on his website.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
OMG 5.1 update didn't delete swype this time (Maybe I'm going crazy?).

Anyways, thanks for the lovely ROM, Rob. <3
[Epic 4G Android Development] igoth76:
Hi guys,

First off, great rom. I had a lot of trouble flashing Bonsai, but got this one to flash easy. Runs great too. I just have one little bitty issue (which just a personal thing I suppose). How do I get my Visual Voicemail back?

Thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It's in the extras folder on the blog. Download that and extract to your sdcard and boot into recovery. Then flash whatever zips you want. You want the stock sprint voicemail......
[Epic 4G Android Development] igoth76:
<facepalm> I should have thought of that. Guess it was a blonde moment. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RegnierD:
Hello, Epic 4G forums!

I'm getting ready to root a friend of mine's Epic, so I'm looking around over here at the rom choices. Is there any way somebody could post a screenshot of what this rom looks like fresh out of the box? I couldn't find any screenshots or link to them in the OP.

Thank you, all!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Rob..excellent work with this version. What scaling settings do you recommend in setcpu for battery performance?
[Epic 4G Android Development] igoth76:
Mine has very few modifications, but I will post shots for you. The first image should be lockscreen, it's o-t-box, just shows my wallpaper. Second image is home screen, I changed to 5 apps from default (easy to do menu-more-adw settings-ui settings-dock style) The clock/weather is Fancy Widget. Third image is app drawer, that's default too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
What is the default setting for the CPU and voltage levels. Is it already set to 100/1200 or do I need to get SetCPU to do that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
SetCPU .. I just leave it at 200/1200 ...

Hey rob,

What is the difference between midnight rom stock battery theme and evo battery theme?

Also, do u have the stock lockscreen.zip with only the stock battery number of percent showing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Please go to www.lostandtired.com and click on the Android Development Page. I've got videos up just look at the Theme video as that pretty much show you what you get minus the theme. Also there are videos on rooting as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
One uses the 1% mod on the EVO battery icons and the other is the stock froyo battery 1% modded.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Do you have the stock lockscreen theme zip file with only the battery percentage number mod? Is it possible to build the stock lockscreen but with the battery % number mod, I do not like the new asop lockscreen.

Thanks for the help rob

Update: Found the battery percentage mod here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793805&highlight=battery+percentage but I need the stock lockscreen from rob. I tried to use another stock lockscreen in the themes/apps section but I kept getting FC's

Update 2: After trying to flash back the stock lockscreen from another thread, my phone keeps FC's and says No Service. Any help Rob?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
So I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache 3x times and reinstalled midnight ROM but I am now getting constant reboots. Any help here?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Possible funky download; try to redownload and reflash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Ok I got rid of the constant reboots, but every time I install an app from the market my phone vibrates a couple of times and reboots. Never had this problem before and this is the second time I reflashed after wiping data 3x. Help please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeonbuilder:
How do I get the voice dial over Bluetooth to work again? I installed the add on folder but still nothing. Is there something else I need to do?

When I press and hold my bluetooth to make a voice dial I only see vlingo pop up No more google voice dial.

Thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
I quoted myself for an update...There seems to be an issue whenever I loaded midnight ROM and then installed an app from the market then my phone would reboot. I ended up reflashing the ROM again without wiping data and this time it worked. I also observed that when I uninstalled Titanium backup it got rid of Quickboot app also. Is Titantium Backup safe to remove?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
hey rob on ur journaling on thread for the ext4 is both version with no tweaks or does the first one have them and im just seeing if me going to on is going to be a better switch bc i havent seen to many post about if its better than off so idk what im looking for
[Epic 4G Android Development] RegnierD:
Thanks a lot for the link. That will definitely come in handy, as the DInc rooting method is supported by UnrEVOked, so it's just plug and click.

This rom looks good spec-wise, and has a clearly supportive dev, which is always a comfort to find. I'm just sniffing around for now. I may be back!

Thanks again for the help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
The stock clock.apk in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793805&highlight=battery+percentage doesnt seem to work. Can you find a fix or do you have the stock theme with the battery mod as a percentage number?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Anyone know which is best scaling to use for best battery usage
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
So.. Camera works when my SD card isn't in my phone. I pop it in and it instantaneously fcs.. ._.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Format the sd card.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
If I save everything, format it and put it back, would that be okay? Or would it be like going in a circle?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Yes that's ok
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
To Rob,

Just so you know, the midnight rom v5 had the stock lockscreen with the battery mod as number %. However, when I installed the patch v5.1 rfs journaling on, the battery mod was removed and is now plain w no %. Can you fix?

Update: This gave me an idea, can I get the battery framework from the v5 ROM and drag & drop into v5.1 patch and reflash v5.1 patch? That should theoretically work but not sure which is the battery framework. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Update 2: Yes that did work. I replaced the /system/framework, I also kept the android.policy.jar (to keep reboot mod) from v5 to v5.1 patch and reflashed patch. Battery Mod as number % works great. :)

Just noticed that Reboot when pressing power screen shows the icon as the battery. I'm currently looking at a thread on how to add the reboot mod. I assume the framework.apk I replaced did not have the reboot.png (image file)
[Epic 4G Android Development] gokuman56:
I have noted some bugs so far:

When I go to settings and click about phone, it force closes and market was not preinstalled on the EXT4 journaling ROM. There is also no input method. I need to use the keyboard. Anyone else noticing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
For best battery, I use conservative and set min 200, max 1000. On demand and smart-ass are more of a mix of battery and performance, and many prefer those. But, since your question was battery, that's what I use during the week when I need my battery to last through the work day (I'm a fairly heavy user).
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
About phone is a known issue and fixed by flashing the standard upgrade zip. The soft keyboard is missing by design. You need to flash the desired keyboard. All of these are located in the midNIGHT ROM Extras folder. This is a build your own Roman edition Theseus are not bugs. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Hey Rob,

I followed some instructions to update the apk and I needed to update the apk because the battery as a percent was not included in the v5.1 patch as stock. I saw your post regarding the stock theme with 1% battery mod but does that address the battery mod as a number %. Anyway, the apk is done but I needed to know, do I have to sign it or can I place the unsignedframework-res.apk and rename it to framework-res.apk and put into zip file and update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
Having the same problem when I relfashed this rom 3x wipe then applied the update again...RFS
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
I had problems with the RFS but basically my solution was to wipe 3x, install v5 Midnight ROM then reboot then do not do any market or hit any apps (or I got FC's and constant reboots). Then I booted into clockwork mod recovery and installed what apps I wanted thru the .zip files. Booted normal everything working ok. Then went back to clockwork and updated to v5.1. Finally worked every time
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
This is not a bug. The base ROM is COMPLETELY stripped. You need to add what you want by flashing the zips from the Extras folder on the SDcard......
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Flash the stock theme I posted earlier today and you should have what you are looking for. It's stock with 1% battery mod. OR you could just delete the framework-res.apk from the 5.1 patch.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Rob, I am gonna try flashing the v5.1 patch again this time with the battery mod as a percent and reboot icon fixed and stock lockscreen (without 1% battery mod). On a side note, I looked at your 1% battery mod in your post earlier and it seems it does not have the reboot icon in the framework.apk so I had to do the above...

It would be good if I tested to see if it works and then I can post the working version to you.

Just trying to make things right. Thanks for your support Rob. I did a lot of reading on several threads on how to make it happen but if it doesnt work I will nandroid then I will try your method

Update: Didn't work so I will try nandroid backup to my stable version of v5.1 and then try your method

Update2: I used your method but the reboot icon turned out to be a battery icon so it seems the reboot.png file is missing. If I fix it, I will let you know and post an update here
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
I think it is weird because I have already flashed the rom before with no problems then today I reflashed it and came up with the problems.

I ended up using ext-4 though and now its fine
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Hey Rob,

Tried to do my method (which was exactly the same as yours modifying reboot hex value to the last drawable value) and your method. Confirmed twice that the reboot icon is replaced by a battery at 1% icon. It is really weird and I dont know what else to do, but I can help if you need a tester :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] D6E:
Nice ROM OP. Looking for that awesome boot screen, shutdown sequence and wallpapers individually. Any chance I could get those? Keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Hey Rob,

I think I have found the problem and it has to do with editing the GlobalActions.smali in Android.policy.jar. The Reboot icon used to be 0x1080422

but now with the battery mod, I see in the framework it has changed to 0x10804e1.

I tried updating the android.policy.jar as the instructions in this thread show: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11675022 but I kept getting errors compiling the java under the cmd prompt. Maybe you can help and re-post the fix for the stock theme with the correct fix for reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Not sure why but, my battery is lasting even longer after 5.1. Phone seems snappier and smoother, too. I'm starting a round if applause from my house.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I just flashed the removeclock.zip and can confirm it works. TY
[Epic 4G Android Development] harrybozack:
Thanks for 5.1!

ptfdmedic, thanks so much for the new version. It does need to be mentioned that your download page on lostandtired.com has become a hot mess. It's impossible to figure out what the newest versions are and what addons go with what. I'd be willing to help you organize things if you don't have time for it.

Thanks again for your time and effort in developing midnight rom for us!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I'm confused as to what exactly you are trying to do? Do you just want the stock theme with the reboot mod? Or Stock theme with 1% battery or both?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Sprint ID.zip is in the midnight Extras folder. Flash with CW.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I disagree. All the "other zips" are at the top. They work with all of the versions. They are the latest additions that he has brought out but, not added to the extras folder, yet.

The current release is next. It's just an upgrade from 5.0.

After that it's 5.0. You need this before adding the update.

There are 4 editions of the ROM. People wanted choice and he gave it to them.

The downloads at the bottom are themes. They work with all the new editions, as well.

The page is very simple to understand and easy to navigate. I got all of my downloads from that page via Miren Browser, on my phone, with no difficulty.

BTW harrybozack - love that nick...hilarious!:D

wallpapers are in launcher2.apk (system->app->launcher2.apk->res->drawable-hdpi) and the midNight wallpapers that is in the v5 standard edition upgrade.zip (sdcard->midNight wallpapers folder)

hope that helps

And here i thought i was the only one who used miren or another mobile browser to download roms. Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Sorry for the confusion but its a great ROM. To answer the question, i installed the v5.1 patch and everything works ok with reboot icon still there but when I installed the stock theme 1% with the battery mod, it removed the reboot icon under the power menu. Its a small bug but maybe u can confirm what I am seeing by installing the stock theme zip file?

I like the stock theme zip the way you have it done (w both 1% bat mod number as %) but it seems the reboot icon disappears when I installed the zip file

[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
"Camera Failed"

Will this clear up the camera failed message when attempting to start the video recording with 5.1 update?

I restored to 5.0; booted, cleared the camera data using manage applications.

Restarted to recovery, wiped partition cache and dalvik x3, applied 5.1

Restarted to system, tried to use the video. "Camera Failed"

Can I still use the kernel from 5.1 update and remove all the camera specific files or does the the kernel need those camera files???

edit: I notice that once the camera failed message comes up, if i shut the screen off then press power to wake it up, only the button lights come on and not the screen, I use the 4-finger to reboot as I figure that is just a little better than pulling the battery.

EDIT 2: removed all files that said camera from the 5.1 upgrade zip. Restored ... cleared cache and dalvik ... flashed the updated zip ... same "camera failed" message attempting to start video recorder.

I flashed the honeycomb batt mod theme and it switched my lockscreen to aosp from tw. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
try this zip ... its the file that tells the OS to use ASOP and that is it nothing else in the zip.

Wow; disregard .. let me put a TW in it for you. Read that bass ackwards

EDIT: ok this has the file from the 5.1 update that has TW lock screen

All of a sudden my RockOn app stopped working. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling. There was no option to delete data. I even re-flashed midNIGHT 5.0 and 5.1. Nothing got it working again. It turned out to be a good thing, though. I discovered PowerAmp Pro and am never looking back. Wow! What a great player!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Hey rob,

Where you able to check on the stock theme 1%.zip yourself and see what it does?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You talking the one I posted? The yes I did. It's just a stock theme with 1% battery mod. NO Reboot... I'll work on the later.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
You've earned a thanks. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Yes thanks for testing and see what I see. Hope the fix gets in there later.

P.S. Thanks for ur support and I have been reading ur blog more often to increase those page views and subscribed to email updates. I also made a donation, my name is raul
[Epic 4G Android Development] sneezy316:
Thank you for all the hard work! I was wondering if the Fascinate email will work with 4.2? I'm too lazy to go to 5.1... ;P 4.2 has been working great. Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Thank you very much for reading my story. I also really appreciate the donation. It really helps....... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I would think it should. All you can do is try. Backup the current email app with titanium. Then flash the new email. You'll have to go into the application setting and clear the cache for the email.... Let me know what you find out... I'm curious :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sneezy316:
Backed up stock email, cleared app cache, rebooted to recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik 3d ea, flashes Fascinated email, rebooted,... email start and closes, no fc window, wiped data in app, now everything works. I really like this version, much more functional. Thank you very much again!

Once again, this is on 4.2.

[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I lost InfoAlarm.apk and can't seem to find it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction, please?

Edit: NM, found it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
I have found that the only way to get the Fascinate email to run without FC (and it seems to race right by that) is to start with a clean ROM.

No email at all. I tried to reinstall stock email (runs after reinstall over fascininate) and then deleting all email accounts and then reinstall Fascinate. No love.

I started with a clean ROM and the Fascinate email runs. The four differences I see are:

1) Initial screen of set up of emails may be a bit cute. You get icons to choose from.

2) The email accounts are shown across the top as tabs. Kinda nice but "combined" isn't one of the tabs and as I have 8 different email accounts (testing purposes for work). The tabs start getting smaller rather than allowing you to scroll them. I suppose if you have four or less accounts its ok.

3) While I know there is a combined inbox available I can't figure out the Davinci code to get to it. The only way I've found so far is to get email in more than one account and get to email via the alert bar at the top of the screen.

4) Rather than the unread messages having a grey background all emails in the list have a black background. Read email messages have their font dimmed in the list.

I figured I'd give it a day but I'm pretty sure I'm going back to stock. It would be great if somebody new of a site or member that does side-by-side comparison of the different email programs. Epic, Fascinate, AOSP, K9...

You mean like this article right here:

Hope that article helps a little.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
Thanks, I thanked you.

Yeah, I came across that article a month or two ago when I was trying to find out about the AOSP email client. Spent an hour or two googling back then.

Beyond the fact that the article is now 6 months old it oesn't mention AOSP or any of the variants of the our Epic's email client.

And maybe I don't know where to look but I couldn't figure out what "my email" client was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
midNIGHT ROM v5.2 is up. It includes most the the v5.1 patch plus a bit more. This should take care of any issues that some users had with the v5.1 patch. Hopefully this cleans things up a bit. This is Journaling OFF/EXT4/CW3 ONLY

No ETA on other versions
[Epic 4G Android Development] runner77:
If I'm on 5.0 (No Journaling) EXT4, can I flash straight to 5.2? Or should I flash 5.1 first?

Sorry if this question has already been addressed on your website. I can't check it while at work.
