so I odin'ed the EB13/ROOT/EXT4/CWM3 to the phone and all was good

then I tried the midnightrom flash (after the 3x wiping) I picked the midNIGHT_ROM_v5.2__BYOR_Edition_EXT4_Journaling ON (know this topic is journaling off and I have not found any info about the pros/cons of the on/off and I didnt see one that said off there was just ON and standard and the off one said it was "base only" so I didnt know what that was) after doing this it seemed to work fine until I tried to go into the settings menu and it would FC every time

so I just odin'ed back to the EB13/ROOT/EXT4/CWM3 using this method

so what to do now, I should odin the EC05 modem? - or odin the thingie in the link you provided which will be the EC05 modem - remember I am running from the EB13 that I provided a link to above so from that point what is the best course of action
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
For any EC05 ROM, stock or custom.

I don't want to come across as mean but, all your questions have been answered on the first post in this thread and on Rob's Android development page. You've taken up 7 posts of your own and at least as many replies to get information that was already available on

how to flash this ROM

. Please "READ, READ, READ and READ some more". Rob has even taken the time to make video tutorials on how to flash the ROM. The FC's have been covered as well as the entire process that you have somehow gotten people to repeat, even though it has been repeated several times throughout this thread. The great majority of us have taken the time to read this thread in it's entirety. It's good policy to do that, before asking questions in threads (forum etiquette 101). I understand that you have a life and that reading that much takes time. We all have lives, too. Somehow, we managed to fit it into our busy schedules.

Hello, up running this rom and everything is great, but something small I need help with. The option for uploading pictures from Gallery to Facebook seems to be missing. Normally I could tap on any pic in gallery and hit share and the option for Facebook is there, but its not in this rom, any suggestions? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I'll assume that you also tapped menu. Did you install the standard upgrade.zip? Do you have a file browser (MyFiles, RootExplorer, AstroFileManager, etc) installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] leftkidney:
well no offense man but I just am not going to read 190+ pages just to find something out - I will post and if its a problem then I am sure someone like you will let me know

like this question here that I cant find an answer to

I know what journaling is but why would I want it on or off on my phone? - no where can I find info about if there are problems about this being on or off
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
Thanks, I guess I had a brainfart. Forgot I didnt have the Actual Facebook app installed. After Install the option showed up again, thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Well, how about if we read it all for you and just regurgitate what you want, when you want it? That sounds like a great plan. I wish I had someone cut my steak up and cut the crust off my bread for me, too.

As for journaling, that's another question that you could find the answer for if you looked in here or many other threads. Even using google would help with that. It has been beat to death in here. If you know what it is, then you know what the pros and cons of on/off are. Good luck finding someone to repeat it all for you. If they do choose to help you, they should really do it in private message instead of clogging up the thread any further with old repetitious instructions.

Most of these questions (including the journaling one) have been answered in the OP or on Rob's Android development page. You don't even have to read this entire thread. Here's a tip i will give you: ctrl+F. Don't say I never gave you anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Cool! Glad you got it sorted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Answered this in the journaling on thread.

Also, when you have something specific you'd like to find in a long thread like this, you can use the search thread button and it will return just the posts that have what you need.

Then you don't have to read every post to find what you're dealing with and still find answers to questions that may have already been answered.

Hope that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Do a search in the General section. There was a lengthy post about just that. You have to understand that everyone asks the very same question, over and over again. So it's not you personally it's generally the over all lack of using the search button before asking a question.

In a nutshell: Journaling ON is safer but slightly slower as it writes more.

Journaling OFF is slightly faster as there are fewer writes but you do run the risk of data loss or corruption if power loss occurs.

I personally use Journaling OFF....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
OP updated with the Cliffnotes explanation of Journaling ON/OFF....

Hopefully this will help everyone out. Be aware there is MUCH more explanation out there is you use the search button. I realize we all want instant results but that's not always how it works here. Please use the search button and if you do and still can't find an answer then feel free to ask away... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
I'm with buggerritt on this. I personally have at least scanned and most times read every post in the 191 pages on this thread. My opinion is that if you aren't willing to do this for a custom ROM, no fee charged, then perhaps custom ROMs are not for you.

I have at times misunderstood or misread things posted in this thread or ptfdmedics website and asked for help. But to say that reading up on this is asking too much? I don't think so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ansong:
I have been running 5.2 and after enabling journaling I've had very few problems, this is the biggest one for me: running droidwall I get "error applying iptables rules. Exit code 1 protocol wrong type for socket."

Googling indicated that it was likely a kernel issue with the rom, is that the case? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

And thanks for making such a stable rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Okay I got a quick question.....What is the difference and/or benefit of having journaling on to off??:D LET THE ROASTING BEGIN!! ;) Just kidding. You guys r hilarious!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
lmao +10000
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
Youngpro83, Thanks! I really needed a serious LOL moment. They heard me down the hall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
Perhaps I will try. 1 and a half year old baby and work is a lotta work though eaving me no time so I will get back to it. Also hesitant cuz this is truly the first time I'm 100% happy with a rom on a day to day basis.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fnordsnafu:
I actually just did this. So far so good. I will keep testing to see if I get a lock over the next several hours and then days. Fingers crossed that this worked. Uber tired of the GPS issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
I swear Samsung needs to pick their game up I just hope its not like this with the nexus s bc if GPS sucks on that ima scream lol

Removing ZIP

I installed the included Handcent SMS app from the Extra's directory. It did not show me my MMS messages. I then install GO SMS. My only question is how do I remove Handcent? Since I installed it via CWM, can I remove it without re-installing or do I have to re-flash?

I have tried to search for the answer, but have not found an answer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
Remove it like you would any application on your phone, Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Select Handcent SMS and choose to Uninstall
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
The reason that handcent didn't show MMS is that you would have to have stock or GoMMS installed, as well. Since you have GoMMS installed, you should now see your MMS in handcent. If you wanted to keep handcent and not receive notifications in GoMMS, you would have to go into settings for the GoMMS app and disable notifications and auto retrieve. I'm not sure how configurable GoMMS is but, handcent is very configurable. there are backup/restore options for settings and messages (in case you want to flash a ROM from scratch). There are themes you can download, smileys, emojis, change font, etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
Can anyone let me know if its happening to anyone or know of a fix?

Every time the power button is pressed to lock the phone it automatically turns on to the lock screen and have to press the power button again to let it lock. (using honeycomb battery mod and was on the blue hc battery mod before to see if changing mod/theme would work)

Any idea why its doing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Thanks for giving it a go. I hope it does work. There were no promises for it, with restore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fnordsnafu:
So far so good. Got a lock within 2 or so seconds and a full 12/12 within 10 seconds and I'm inside. A definite success so far. Will continue to update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
If it still works after 8 hours of uptime, I'd say you have a winner
[Epic 4G Android Development] ut00wj:
Thank You

I thought that since I installed it using CWM it was baked in, so to speak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
When you install the byor you are left with a choice. You can install gomms our stock mms. One or the other is necessary for mms msgs.

Bath are in the midnight extras folder.

Hey guys I was just curious....I was having some problems restoring apps on Syndicate Frozen with MyBackup Pro, whereas the apps were force closing when they weren't even open.

I was wondering if it is safe to restore apps on Midnight without getting those force closes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
That's not ROM-dependent. It's never advisable to restore apps with backup apps like MyBackup Root - restore data only after downloading them from the Market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kidnoble:
I did not know that! I just rooted my epic, even though I have had it since it was released. Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pr0ject:
My sync icon is always on, now. I don't think I have changed anything but now the icon is always on. I have disabled all accounts and background data for sync and its still always on. Anyone else have this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
What are your findings, now, after so many hours of uptime?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Are you using a theme? Which one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fnordsnafu:
It's still going strong. Fast, solid fix every time. Very, very happy. Thanks sooooo much!:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
No. Thank you for trying and for your findings. If you wouldn't mind too much, could you post your experience in that thread? I am very happy that it worked for you. :)

BTW, I didn't come up with the fix, on my own. I just edited the original workaround (from amngsk) for EC05.
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
OK, I need some help here. My phone just will not come back on after it has been asleep off of the charger. I have to pull the battery, and start the phone back up. This has happened to me on multiple wipes and flashes for midNIGHT and Syndicate. This has happened with the Kernals that come with both ROMS, Vision, and Genocide kernals as well. I am at a loss on what to do, or just go back to stock and not worry about it anymore. I love this ROM with the Genocide kernal, so I really want to stay this way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
what minimum frequency are you running? some phones don't do well when clocked down to 100 mhz. other than that, I'm not too sure what could be causing that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cconwing:
Still having the same problem even after wiping all data and reflashing to 5.2 journaling on and standard upgrade with dash gauge white theme and when I go to hit the button to shut off the screen it goes black then pops back on with the lockscreen after about 2 seconds :/

Again not a big issue but I don't know how to fix it or if anyone was having the same issue. :) thanks for any help and I'm loving 5.2 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
200 is the min, and I tried undervolting, but could that be the issue? I have spare parts, and have heard of log cat, can I possibly have those running and could it catch the issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Is anyone else having constant reboots when trying to flash a theme? I did that GPS fix and then 1click rooted to CW3 and then flashed Midnight V5.2 and then let it boot, installed the 5.2 upgrade zip and let it boot, then tried to install a theme and it never boots up. It just vibrates and then vibrates 2 more times and then just reboots over and over again. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix this?

Im going to try clearing cache like the instructions say and see how that works out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Did you make sure you used the latest set of themes? The ones for v4 supposedly had a problem with v5, if I remember correctly. I'm using the honeycomb blue icon theme and have no problem. I almost flashed from the wrong set recently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
I believe I am. I used them before I flashed back to DI18 to do the gps thing and they worked but now they arent working. Ill download them again and see if that fixes it.

Edit: Im just going to start from scratch and redownload everything and go back to DI18 and just start all over. Hopefully that will cure me. Now I tried to install the 5.2 update zip and it did that reboot thing. So it cant be the theme. Im not sure. Ill figure it out hopefully.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pr0ject:
Yes I am, Honey comb, looks i have to reflash the theme huh. I just reflashed it again and it still has the sync icon on =(
[Epic 4G Android Development] cconwing:
I think you were talking to me...right? Haha yes I used the v5 theme. Maybe ill just try a different theme, I just really like the once I have now :)

O well ill let you know how it goes, thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
Anyone?

[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Does this happen with stock?

If it were me I'd use Odin to put this EC05 on from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021305

using the Slightly Modded EXT4 EC05 Tar Prerooted Deodexed Zipaligned Png Optimized version so I had a few steps done for getting back to midNight.

just use that for a while and see if you have the same power button behavior.

If not, then I would think some app or service is set to wake the phone up to update or something like that.

If all goes well on EC05, then flash to midNight 5.2 the way you have before.

v5.2 ROM, v5 mid night extras - standard upgrade.zip then v5.2 standard upgrade zip

reboot and don't install any apps to see how the rom behaves

after that pay attention to the apps you're adding. in particular those that auto update themselves to display data. Do one at a time and check after install (and maybe a reboot) to see what app may have had that strange thing you're seeing.

Good luck with it, let us know how you make out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Okay for real this is starting to piss me off:mad: So I start from scratch and flash just as I normally would. Everything is going great. I didnt restore any data I started from completely scratch installing all of my apps one by one. Then when my phone is running perfectly I go into settings and try and change my notification and my phone goes on a fu**ing vibrating frenzy and reboots over until I pull the battery. Now when my phone boots up I get the com.android.blah blah blah forceclosing over and over so I cant even do sh*t on my phone......Until I pull the battery and now it just vibrates and reboots...vibrates and reboots...WTF!!!!!!!!!! I spent all night with this sh*t!! What the hell is going on????

VVM problems with 5.2

Hi all,

I started using Midnight with the 5.0 update, and everything was great. Last night, I updated to 5.2, and I love it. However, since upgrading to 5.2, my phone hasn't been handling Visual Voice Mail messages correctly. I get the VVMs okay, but I am also receiving the "hidden" 9016 sms messages that tell the phone that there is a new voicemail. These are showing up as standard SMS messages, and they look something like this:

FROM: 9016

MESSAGE: //ANDROID:{caller's phone number} has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN, 1323e4d8,3c26,V69iGvVX46p//CM

Any thoughts? I've tried calling the 408-970-0000 number, and I get the option to turn off VVM, but I don't want that. Best as I can tell, something has happened between 5.0 and 5.2 to cause the phone to send these messages to my SMS app. For what it's worth, I get the messages on BOTH the stock messaging app, and GO SMS Pro, so I don't think it's caused by the SMS app.

Thanks,

Kevin
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I hate to say it but, that sounds like a hardware issue. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
You do have MyFiles installed right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
BYOR isn't buggy...it is completely stripped down. Since it is stripped down so much, you are going to have to add certain things for everything to work, like a soft keyboard and ringtones. The amazingly awesome thing about BYOR is I can add only those things I want. It take's a hair more effort than the Standard Edition but, in the end, the phone is exactly what I want :-) (Exactly is a stretch, it still doesn't have a zip allowing it to print money for me, lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] swear0730:
Just in case this is the issue and you don't realize it... Pay close attention when flashing midNIGHT 5.0. I have had the problem where it reboots without warning well into the flash process. I didn't realize this was happening but when it does I get force closes all over the place. Last week it happend I wiped 3x and flashed and repeated two more times before it finally finished up and told me to reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
wonder if you have a corrupt spot on your sd card.

might want to copy the contents to your PC, format the card and then copy the files back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Okay I found the culprit. It was impalers keyboard demon fix zip. I had installd before and it did no harm but I guess it messes with my sd card some how. After installing it I culdnt look at my pics or see my ringtones. I flashed the ROM without it and it was good. Everything is fine now. Thanks for all of ur help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Glad you got it sorted out!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
yayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
So about just trying to use base without standard update umm I would one need to install ringtones and a keyboard like say gingerbread. Well him that might cut some memory down for me make phone a tad bit smoother bc I'm using with journaling on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
There are a few things you will need to install if don't want standard upgrade:

an MMS base (stock or GoMMS)

a keyboard

stock browser

file browser

gallery

email client

voicemail

audio/video codecs

a clock package
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Yeah I know right. I was about to go crazy! Glad it wasnt my theme I modded or an app I use often. I can do without the keyboard fix.:D Midnight ROM has always been flawless for me. I was stumped when this happened. Thanks for all of your help guys!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
So, how is your gps, now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Okay so I never had a problem with GPS, other than it would lock really slow sometimes. It would take about 2 min to lock down to 30 meters sometimes..But after doing that little fixer upper....I locked at 60 meters almost instantly and then down to 10 meters only seconds after. I would definitely say it did something. I have never gotten a lock that fast and Ive had this phone since it came out.;)

Do we really need different threads for Journaling On and Journaling Off versions of the ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] deltawye:
I have had some crazy audio lag, with any music player I try.. for instance if a song is playing and I simply touch the screen or put it to sleep, the audio will distort... it is getting kinda annoying.. Has any one else had this problem? It also happened on the latest syndicate rom too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Solid advice guys. Thanks k0nane.. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Yes we do. People don't read directions as it is and these ROM's require specific install instructions. The scripts are different it becomes far to confusing to have everything jammed into 1 thread. Plus not that I need to justify my actions but you guys wanted dedicated threads to avoid confusion.

Why are you concerned about this? Is something wrong?
