Found my card reader, Trying this now

Mission accomplished, getting tired of these reflashes though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I think you were misunderstood. Thanks everyone but I don't think he meant it the way it was taken.

The way swype is set up is just a pain in the ass. I can't get the current beta working correctly and as I said I don't use it. I do have a stock eb13 swype zip I'll upload in a few.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I think I might have the new beta working. I screwed up on the script.... Testing now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
The method mis3 explained worked like a charm, back up and running.

Edit:

Reflash also fixed the mounting issue on the Mac.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys,

I'm sorry to say that if you want the latest beat your on your own. Even if I download directly from the swype site I have problems and I shouldn't be. I do believe I have the stock EB13 working and I'll upload that. Shane is testing now to confirm for me. Also the beta I have in the extras folder is still working for some people. Are you guys saying that it's expired.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Right. I know that works. You guys were wanting the latest beta though and that's what I have been trying to get working. Not sure what's up with the beta but I can't get it working at all and I have now reflashed about a dozen times tonight and I'm done. I will upload the EB13 version for you though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Alright. The beta is a wash for now (although the one in the extras folder does appear to still be working for some) but I did zip up the stock Swype from EB13. It's underneath the ROM link on the Android Development page....

Sorry I couldn't get the beta working but it's been a long day and I tried a few dozen zips before giving up. Please be sure to thank shane6374 because he flashed and reflashed and then flashed some more. I think there are issues with the current beta like not being designed for our phones possibly. Either way I couldn't even install the apk and get it working. I would get an error message about not being designed for my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
This is very weird. I had no issue installing it. I am again running a clean install of midNIGHT (I guess I am hooked). I flashed back to stock yesterday and wiped 3x3 and flashed 4x. Then installed all my apps and the swype beta. I wonder why it would install to some and not to others. Mysteries mysteries...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I don't know but I suspect it wasn't designed to support the epic........ What's even weirder is some people can still use the beta from the extras folder with out problems. I love my "smarter keyboard" and never got into swype but to each their own.. If for whatever reason anyone needs the official Epic version I zipped up the EB13 version and it's on the blog.

Thanks for the feedback :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Anyone having trouble with bluetooth? It usually connects normally but it seems to intermittently forget the pairing password. Once every 5 or six times when I get in the car it asks for the password to pair with the car. This didn't happen with EB13.

Also, seems like WiFi doesnt always reconnect reliably. I've got it set to never sleep, but every now and then when I wake the phone the Wifi is disconnected (but turned on) I have to cycle it several times before it will reconnect.

Other than those two items the ROM seems great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
You're right. I bet I could use the one in the extras folder again (since I'm on a fresh install). But, now I have the beta program working so, I'm not gonna mess with it. There must be an exact science to this but, it is so trivial,.may as well not sweat it. You have a sweet ROM. TY so much. I only wish to be learn how to build to build my own so, I can have everything I want with one simple flash (email settings included). I got to stop foruming while I have a girl with tequila, vodka, and Monster in the house. How did I get to be such a phone geek? Anyway, til the morning...
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
I love Swype. That being said I don't think its a dragon you need to slay.

People should either go back to the EB13 version or jump on the beta program.

I jumped on beta as soon as I heard it was open. Having no problems. My son mentioned problems Saturday morning and I'd read a few others with expired licenses so I recommended he go to beta. He's having the same download issues others are having. I told him to try it in the middle of the night...

Thanks for giving it your best effort, Rob.

As always, loving your ROM. I've been exclusively since... maybe December?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
An issue and a question:

FIRST, which mobile AP app are you guys having the most success with? (Infrastructure, NOT ad-hoc)

My issue is with bluetooth audio from the browser. It sounds like a transform effect (any Dj's out there will know what I mean, basically it cuts in and out quickly and steadily). I'm using a blackberry bluetooth-audio dongle in my car (think they call it the "stereo gateway") so that might be it, but just wondering if anyone else is getting this, and if it even has anything to do with the rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] htls:
where is the "my files" so i can get the youtube uploader working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
If anybody is still trying to get Swype it worked for my son just now. Wouldn't work at all for him on multiple tries yesterday afternoon/evening.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
It's in the standard upgrade zip. You can extract the apk out of it with winrar, if that's all you want from the zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Does the standard_upgrade.zip have the newest EB13 working swype that u updated on the blog? Or how would I replace it with the EB13 one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pkny:
Is anyone having problems connecting their bluetooth headset after the flash?

I have a jawbone and it was working fine on DK28 and samsungs update to EB13 but now the headset would not even pair with the phone.

When it does pair it would promp for the passcode and after that is entered it would pair for 2 secs then unpair itself.

Any fix for this? I need this while driving but everything on this rom is great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
+1

I would also like to have the clock. I believe it was called desktop clock, in the app drawer. It's not the same as the Google Desktop Clock in the extras folder, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Finally back to where i want the phone to be. I left the phone unplugged last night and it only consumed ~25% of the battery. Its estimating 20 more hours left. Thanks Rob, i love my phone once again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
i can confirm bluetooth issues.... my phone isn't even finding my Jawbone.

i can also confirm that that is the ONLY single issue i have had with this ROM so far!

[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Pretty sure the bluetooth issues are part of the Bonzai base. I've had bluetooth and Wifi problems with both Midnight and Bonzai, but not on stock EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
ah ok, i was actually running bluetooth on Bonsai 3.0.1.... don't know if it was perfect, but it was basically working for me.

i have been having wifi connectivity problems for a while, on a few roms. the signal will drop out, but come back pretty quickly. if i am right next to the router, it seems to stay connected pretty well tho. but it used to stay connected all the time, at least on DI18, regardless of the distance from the router.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Just wanted to say as always nice build Rob. My wife and I are both running midnight with no issues that I couldn't fix on my own. Great job making a stable and easily customizable rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Did you try default clock package from the extras?
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
So what did you do? That's the one problem I'm having with my phone. I know its me I just don't know what I'm doing that is sucking the life out of my battery so fast.

Specific ideas would be appreciated.

TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] jarnail24:
Where's the download link? Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pkny:
Thanks for the reassurance. I found a temporary fix but it stopped working again tonight when i disconnect my headset. Maybe you would have better luck.

The problem:

-The head set would pair with the phone for 2 secs before loosing connectivity and begin flashing the red led for about ever 8 secs

-phone would prompt the "enter passcode" after pairing but would not establish connectivity

-reset

Hold the talk button and plug it into the charger until the red led lights up.

Release the talk button and then disconnect the the headset.

Now try to pair it.

-Hard reset

Hard Reset:

While the headset is blinking red every 8 secs,

press Noise Assassin, Talk, Talk, Noise Assassin, Talk, Talk.

Its unclear it if worked so i did it a few times but the indication lights should blink white then red.

After that i plugged it in and charged it for a few minutes before disconnecting it and paring it. Then it started to magically work.

Is anyone having good luck with a certain brand of bluetooth handsets with a bonsai based rom? I am currently using the headset provided but would like to use a bluetooth headset. $50 for a headset is better then paying $130 for a ticket. Sigh..... That headset cost a pretty penny too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Not sure if its just a combination of reflashing or not.

My battery was lasting up to 36 hours with little use on Froyo with Juice Defender.

Decided i wanted to try ext4 so i flashed CWM 3.

I flashed to Viper Rom and couldnt get more than 4-5 hours with NO use whatsoever. Reflashed multiple times, tried Juice Defender, etc and nothing helped, it just burned 20% per hour.

Got fed up with it after being late to work and flashed to Midnight again (tried previously but forgot to flash the right radio). The battery use was noticeably better but still not what i was used to on Froyo.

Messed up something (forgot what) and reflashed again. Battery life got a lil bit better. Installed Juice Defender and calibrated battery. Juice plotter estimated 10-14 hours of life and i was happy with that.

Then had the Swype issue yesterday, modified the zip with a swype from the Viper rom i had saved. Reflashed one more time, installed Juice Defender and calibrated the battery again. Unplugged it at midnight last night, at 10am this morning it was just above 80%.

And one thing to add, i have terrible reception here at the apartment roaming/1 bar and eats up the battery if its not plugged in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I have the backbeat 903. It pairs and works flawlessly with this ROM.

New build is up on the blog for those who don't like the BYOR Edition
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I didn't. After reading your reply, I looked and found the fascinate (desk clock). It has the stop watch and timer. So, I'm good. :^) I guess I saw fascinate and just dismissed it

I am using the Jawbone Era with no issues. Been using version 4.2 since the 10th, only issue I have had so far is the swype issue yesterday, but that is fixed now.

I was wondering will the next build include the TWS fix that some other roms have.
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
That's my point. The problem is that the phone intermittently forgets the password.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
What fix is that? Can you point me to a link.....Please :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Yeah what fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
To from syn frozen to this rom do I need to reflash stock or just do the wipe 3x and flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
The Fascinate clock (desk clock) is in the midNIGHT extras folder
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
It does but, the ROM auto enters it in. I think it's just the default 00000 password, standard with most all BT headsets.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Hey Rob I was wondering if you cooked in this malware patch to 4.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
You should actually flash to stock EB13, wipe 3x, and then flash this ROM. If you don't, you will be keeping traces from the ACS ROM. One in particular, that does not go away, is the battery icon mod. I am not knocking the app, itself. But, I do know that it stays, after wiping/flashing, if you do not flash to stock. So, I would feel safe in assuming that other eddies would get left behind, as well. Traces left behind usually cause issues. I would suggest this, coming from/to any ROM. Also, after you do perform the steps above, if anything seems out of whack (boot loop, dual boot logo, force closes, etc), Just wipe 3x and reflash the ROM (no need to reflash stock more than the one initial time). Many issues are cleared up after a second and sometimes a third flash. After seeing this fix so many of my (and other people's) problems, I now flash 4x as a rule. It only takes a few minutes to flash and it rules out a bad flash for any future troubleshooting. So, it's well worth it, in the long run.

[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
We just want to keep i simple and make it less problematic. I think that the majority of FC that everyone is getting is due to several system apps missing at any given time.

I guess that at least keeping the standard apps on is the way to go, it shouldn't sacrifice speed or quality of the ROM there that the "bleatware" isn't included!.

screen rotate not working

all of a sudden the screen will no longer rotate, unless I open the keyboard. I tried the yamaha sensor calibrate but it reports an error. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohcrx:
Liking the rom a lot so far, great job!

In case anyone else has experienced this:

Since I had Titantium on my SD card already I figured I would just install from ASTRO, only to realize that it wasn't in the base rom, no worries. I installed standard .zip that also includes the market and few other things. Once I had installed Titanium and restored I couldn't get to any of myApps in the market.

The easiest way was to uninstall/reinstall the market from AppBrain. I actually couldn't find it on AppBrain amongst the detritus so I just reinstalled stock market off midnight extras and I was good to go.

Another fix would just be to adb install Titanium and flash the extras/market after you've restored

Thanks again!

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandoShadow:
so what will the benefits be in upgrading to 4.x over just staying with 3.3 other than saying it is built off the official froyo for the epic?

speed? stability?

I am digging 3.3 right now and if the benifits are minimal I will probably stick with 3.3 at least for awhile

I am very excited for this rom to drop. I have a question. Currently I am running a 2.1 custom rom. What steps do I need to take in order to install this once its released? Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbx097:
Instructions should be posted with the download.

http://www.lostandtired.com/android-development

Be sure to check out Rob's blog as well, regarding autism awareness.

More than likely, you would Odin stock 2.2, root / CW3, wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik 3x, then flash the midNIGHT custom ROM. Don't hold me to this, but that's what I would expect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
I would agree with that. That's exactly what i did to run 3.2 with eb13. I used the EB13 exe so it wiped all root and cwm, then ran the One Click Root and Recovery 3.0.0.5/6. Then after that's all done just had to wipe 3x and install the rom like usual.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_scotsman:
Generally "coming soon" threads should not be posted in the Development forums...but since I've only just found this thread, and you say it's very close to release, I'll leave it here for now...but will have to move it if the ROM is not posted within the next day or so.

I've had to move other "coming soon" threads from the dev section, so I have to stay fair across the board.

Cheers :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] v3rk:
. . . so why didn't you move this one as well? lol. other threads could have been given a similar "next day or so" grace period. i'm not bothered it's just weird

and tbh i'm looking forward to whichever custom roms come first. thanks for the hard work, and bring em on!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] intx:
I think it's because he has releases out to beta testers, where as the others were just a placeholder "What do you want?" thread.

Either way, I'm excited.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I saw that in 3.3 you have the TV shutdown animation included. Do you have that as a seperate zip? I'm running 3.2 and happy with it and Im afraid if I change to 3.3 that my phone wont be as perfect as it is not. You know the old saying "if it's not broke, dont fix it" LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] intx:
The facelift pack for 3.3 is only like 30 mb, it's not a full rom.

AFAIK 3.3 is just 3.2 but a little bit different way of BYOR, so it should in theory be compatible.

Ofcourse nandroid before you try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_scotsman:
Basically this....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
I installed the face lift on version 3.2 and so far I have not run into any problems. It took a while to boot the first time but after that its been smooth sailing. Do be sure you do a nandroid backup just in case.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aal1:
Will there be a choice between stock kernel and the current Roderick-OC one ? Have you tested with either, if so, what have you seen ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I think you can flash the swype fix on his lostandfound site under android developement. But if you flashed the latest version, full standard, you did not need to flash the swype from the folders, swyped was already in the rom. The swyped from the folder is missing a .lib file (I think that is what he said he removed by accident), so it quit working on Saturday.
[Epic 4G Android Development] durrett syndrome:
so what can I do now without having to reflash the rom and start all over? Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] cconwing:
Go to Robs site...lostandtired.com click on android development at the top, scroll down a little and youll see a link for "Swype EB13 restore (stock).zip"

Download it and place it on your sd card.

I would also delete the other versions of swype off the system (not sure if it matters but I did using titanium backup)

Then flash the above zip and you should be all set. Keep in mind its the older version of swype not the beta. Worked for me, I kind of liked the other one better anyways :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Mu first ever problem

title should say MY .. lol

Just experienced my first boot loop.

I downloaded v4.2 BYOR and the swype fix last night. (to my PC)

I was just going to place it on my phone, I did the 4 finger boot to 3.0.0.6. I ran a nand backup, then tried to boot back to system (I don't know why I didn't copy the zips to the sdcard before going into recovery) to copy the ROM zip and flash.

Anyway; after running the backup. then selecting boot to system the phone just boot loops. I am going to odin back to the eb13 + recovery + ext4; then v4.2.

Might the 4 finger boot to recovery do something that then causes the boot loops?

I have run midNight 2.5, 2.9, 3.3 and 4.1 and always used the blue circle theme and NEVER had any loops at all. This was the 2nd time I have used the 4 finger method and it seemed to act a little funky, recovery did come up

Strange.
[Epic 4G Android Development] durrett syndrome:
Ive had maybe 6 boot loops this morning...it never happend when just flashing the rom but when I flashed the gingerbread theme, no clock in status bar and cia boot animation i got boot loop each time...I did one at a time to see if it was a particular zip but it wasnt...it happened with all of them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
When applying a theme, be sure to first boot up with just the ROM first.

Setup the phone, then power down, 3 finger to recovery and apply the theme.

Never apply the theme without booting fully after flashing a rom.

I'll put my exact steps for you.

I just finished using Odin to place the EB13 Extended tar on my phone

I let it boot, skipped the tutorial and the google account login

I copied over the v4.2 ROM zip and the swype fix zip.

When I boot to recovery, the file system will be converted to EXT4 for me (that is part of the extended eb13 tar) ...

once that is done, I will flash v4.2 of the rom... boot .. setup my account and such

then go to recovery and flash the theme and swype.

Will let you know how that goes (those steps worked for me before, and like I said. I had never had a boot loop until that 2nd use of the 4 finger into recovery method)
