Ok, I'm sorry if I'm not catching on right away. You said you flashed everything 3 times. This means you shut down booted in cwm then did wipe data and then flashed the rom 3 times right?

And what do you mean by clean install?

This is how I got to where i'm at now. I odin'd to EB13 then flashed midnight 4.1 then I did the 4.1 update that fixed some issues and then recently flashed the 4.2 upgrade without wiping or odining back...i also flashed a battery mod and aosp lock screen...

Does that sound ok? Is there anything I should do now? does wiping data wipe anything important? Or erase any sd card info? I want to do this im just scared of having to start all over again :/

Thanks again :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I'll try this out, but just to take a quick stab at the issue, are you using the BYOR edition? and if so, did you flash the media package?

If Standard, I will get back to you, I rarely use these file formats any more. I know that depending how the mpg file is coded, the phone wont be able to play back, don't have much to say about the .mov
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
My bad, meant I wiped everything 3 times, not flashed. I basically did this:

..boot into cwm

..backup data

..wiped data 3x, cache 3x and dalvik 3x

..flashed 4.2 byor (it reboots, I don't try to sign on, just shut down)

..flash midnight upgrade standard

..reboot

..sign into everything, let everything sync

..boot into cwm

..wipe cache 3x and dalvik 3x

..flash dash gauge white theme

..reboot

That's about it. Clean install means I did not leave data on there from previous version, nor did I do an advance restore and restore my data on the new version. It seems like it is more stable that way. It may take me roughly about another 30 minutes to set it up (as long as I turn wifi on for all the syncs), but to me it is well worth it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
see someone on her a mod told me that on mods like battery gages themes and so on u only have to wipe dalvik and as for cache u mean the cache partition right bc im trying to learn this epic myself its a lil more complex then the evo or certain things like recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Best bet to reflash the midnight rom so u can get the bonsai bc i dont know if theres just a kernel out there but i could be wrong. but if u do find it then u should be good to go bc reflash ur gonna loose everything.

Has anyone experienced constant forcecloses on ur apps? My google framework keeps forceclosing and other apps as well. Anyone know how to fix this.

[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Yeah, cache partition. Not sure about the other. I started rooting on the Hero, and I have always done the wipe 3x on the dalvik and cache, and I just seem to have better luck with new roms if I wipe the data 3x before loading them. And if I start having issues with upgrades in releases of roms then I do the data wipe. I hear people talk about how horrible it is to wipe data, but really it is not that bad, turn on wifi and sync, takes me less than an hour......for a clean install it is worth doing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
idk why they call it cache partition i wonder if it was called that on cwm for the evo im not sure it might tho bc i never have to use it on evo that had a better recovery the amon ra which i wish he would come over to the epic side we should start a bounty
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
There isn't a single version of handcent that doesn't immediately forceclose on me. From the market, or midnight extras folder, or one I had saved on my pc, I can install fine but any attempt to open it results in forceclose.

This happened first time I flashed 4.2 (worked fine on 3.3) and also happens after my crazy insane 3x wipe 4x double install flashdance. On the other hand, the overkill wipe-flash fixed my freezing issues! :)

**EDIT: my freezes may have been caused by setcpu also, I didn't install it after my flashdance...
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Ooh, what happened? Im prepping my phone to do this as i type (well, restoring my SD card which i luckily backed up)

Anyone know where to get the OC'd bonsai kernal? I've looked but couldnt find it posted on its own.

Edit...

Now i see why... Stuck at the Samsung screen. Good thing i backed up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Mine started randomly doing this yesterday. Ended up reflashing and its been fine since. Dont know what caused it either, i hadnt installed, removed, or changed anything in the phone, only power cycled it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
My pc no longer recognizes my phone. Does anyone know what could cause this? Never mind reboot fixed it

Just reflash the ROM. You should then be fine and pick up where you left off.

Honeycomb Wave Lockscreen

i was wondering if some could work on or maybe has the Honeycomb Wave Lockscreen it looks awesome and would love to have it on midnight
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Correction. It connects to the pc, but when I click on connect usb storage nothing happens. I reflashed the rom but no luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbx097:
Try to also reboot your PC. Make sure you have the correct driver installed on your PC. Try a different USB cable, maybe from another device, if you have access to one. Also try to install the standard edition zip with CW3. I had the same issue, and that fixed it. Hope this helps...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
Lovin this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
So basically people are having the force close bug and nobody is able to pin point what causes it? I started from scratch last night. Odined back to stock and reflashed. Installed all my apps once again one at a time. Not sure what caused my phone to force close so if anyone has any insight please let me know what they are.I'm confused as to why the phone did that. Just out of the blue? Odd.

I found out why my mic doesn't work in speaker mode: It's a hardware issue. I got this as a replacement from Ascurion. It doesn't work when flashed to stock, either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Yeah happened to my wifes phone too. We just took it into a Sprint store and they replaced the speaker. Now hers is nice and loud. I'm a little jealous. Lol. Took about an hour for them to replace it.

I had this same thing pop up. I booted to recovery and fixed permissions and all has been good since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Seems its all over the forums, all on EB13 based ROMS. A lot of recent events in the ACS forum. Usually happens after a reboot/battery swap. Mine did it a couple days ago when i swapped the battery. Usually if gives a little buzz when its fully shut down. I pulled the battery out before the buzz and when powering it back on it wouldnt run without force closing on me for android process, apps, and swype.

I keep hearing blah blah data corruption.
[Epic 4G Android Development] worldwidepmp:
It's happened to me on two other ROMS and I didn't pull the battery or improperly shut down.

[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
What kernel I hit over 2600 with 4.2 but I did switch to the twilight kernel. Also do you have setcpu I think without it your stuck at 1ghz instead of 1.2

It depends on alot of different things. The amount of apps you have, whats all running at the time like apps and wifi and gps, etc.. just remember all that it shows you is your benchmark. It will vary from phone to phone running identical roms/kernels. Its really meant to check your progress over how your phone was doing before to now. My phone has never done great on any of them but it keeps progressively getting better with each new build i put on my phone so i dont worry about it.

1200 should be your max..so if you can't set to that and 1000 is your highest then you are not on the right kernel.

[Epic 4G Android Development] cconwing:
I know someone started to go over this for me but I just wanted to clarify...im looking to get a clean install and I was looking to wipe everything out before flashing but I was just curious what wiping data will actually get rid of?

I dont want to lose anything important...can I back up with titanium and just restore that way? Will it wipe any info off my sd card?

So im on 4.2 now so im guessing the process would be...

Boot in cwm, wipe data/factory reset

then wipe data/factory reset again

then wipe data/factory reset yet again (since most people say to do it 3 times, at least)

Then reboot, then shut down and boot in cwm and flash 4.2 then flash standard upgrade?

Would that be wrong? :/ do I have to odin again at some point? sorry im kinda lost its and right now my phones dropping battery like crazy, benchmarking at a little over 1800 and getting really hot, just looking to hopefully remedy that with a clean wipe :) thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
You're welcome, glad to help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
When you do a factory reset, your phone will act like it did when you removed it from the box. You'll have to login to google and all that over again.

If your phone is acting up and you want to start from a clean slate (good idea). This is what I do (and just did a few days ago).

Use EB13 Extended to get to a fresh starting point

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

downloading this Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6 and following the instructions to ODIN it to your phone.

I like to let this boot (skipping the tutorial and initial setup)

I then connect the phone to my PC and copy all the files from the sd card. Then format sd card and copy the rom zip to the sd card (below)

Download midNIGHT ROM v4.2 (FULL Standard Edition) NCIQ

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

disconnect from the PC

Shutdown the phone; 3 - finger to recovery.

It will convert to EXT4. (do NOT reboot to system until after flashing midnight)

Once done flash 4.2 ROM

reboot; login and all that fun stuff

after you've booted and you're happy. you can quickboot to recovery; do a nand backup and flash a theme.

After everything is done you can copy your picture files (DCIM) folder back on to the SD card.

I like to reinstall my apps from the market and set them up again. I don't like to use a app data restore as that has more of a chance of restoring something bad and weird things happen.

I know if I go through the steps then everything is clean and I know 100% what has happened; instead of thinking .. well the restore on put on what I asked.

Good luck

Has anyone tried Twilight Kernel 1.03? Any issues with 4.2 Rom? This are working fine for me with Standard 4.2 ROM I have not tried to change the kernel.... I just seem to have a need to want to flash ... guess I need to find a 12 step program and leave the phone alone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
Lol hi hear ya FAA program for us flashaholics..

I find the first twilight release to be a little better on the benchmarks but no noticeable difference as far as feel. If ya don't care about your epeen 1.0.3 should be fine. The combo of this rom and twilight 1.0.1 did produce the highest quad I've seen on my phone to date.(except when I tried the spartacus 1.3ghz kernel I got over 2800 but man was it unstable)

Edit: screenshot placement screwup not even gonna try to fix that from Tapatalk sorry

[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Because they spent so long before 'releasing' eb13. Their reasoning was because they were 'diligently testing' to make sure there were no bugs, and they still didn't fix the tws bug. Actually ended up pulling the update.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
well i use my phone until it dies by turning itself off....

today i got an error that said not enough space....

i turned the phone off by pressing the power button and selecting power off.

i turned the phone back on

still getting the same error

i turn back off and on again same thing but now com.android and swype all force close....

power down and turn back on... same thing.

I guess the EXT4 file system was bad as i went into clockworks mod 3 and under mounts and storage i formatted all allowed atleast three times.

i then flashed the rom and all seems fine now.

wish you would leave out launcher pro...

so how about an option to have journling turned on as i think that is the issue from reading this tread. and Clocksworks mod 2.x wont work with my phone. After I select reboot in Clock WOrks mod 2.x it wont reboot at all, just stays in Clock Works Mod 2.x.... Ofcourse I usually odin and return to stock and root and flash a rom on a daily basis sometime three or more times in a day....

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You were out of space on your internal memory, just move some apps to the sd card or uninstall apps you don't use. Turning the phone off and on over and over isn't going to change how much space your stuff is taking up.

ext4 with no journaling can cause data corruption which is why you should always have a good nandroid backup, but it sounds like you just really like turning your phone off and on over and over, is there a reason? I just don't understand what you are trying to accomplish...

This is a very small launcher that takes up hardly any space and is absolutely nothing like touchwiz. It is way more customizable and takes less space and system memory to run. If you don't like it that is fine, just install tw and uninstall launcher pro as the other person said.

Why do you want cwm 2.x? if you are running an ext4 rom you really don't need to access it anyways.

[Epic 4G Android Development] durrett syndrome:
That was happening with the gingerbread theme....it wont work I tried numerous times.

QUESTION: Anyone having bad battery life? I just flashed this ROM and didn't add a different kernel, etc...any idea why it wouldnt be that great?
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
Its prolly the TWS bug "Time Without Signal" there are threads about it. Basically the phone acts like its in a bad signal area when the area is good killing your battery. Go to settings > about phone > battery use > cell standby and if your time without signal is over 40% the bug is killing your battery and you may be missing calls. There a few temp fixes one is to switch to airplane mode after a boot then switch out. Search for more fixes if that's your issue..
[Epic 4G Android Development] durrett syndrome:
my time wo signal is 2% so its def not that bad but I do occasionally miss calls and my phone never rings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Describe not that great and your standard use....

It may be as simple as calibrating your battery.

Just so you have an idea:

I go from 6am to 10pm unplugged everyday and have anywhere from 5-25% battery left depending on use.

I spend time on market, facebook, xda, pulse/google reader (about 1.5-2 hours per day); 25+ texts and 25+ emails, some multimedia; games (1/2 - 1 hour per day, gun bros, robo defense, etc); at least one flash per day (themes and mods); endomondo (fitness timer/calculator, 45 min); and at least one video recorded or multiple pics taken of my daughter.
[Epic 4G Android Development] durrett syndrome:
def not using is that much and it wouldnt last that long...i typically drop a % every 10 minutes...how do you calibrate your battery? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Use this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884684&highlight=calibrate+battery

The op has a few different ways to try. Basically the goal is to drain the battery to nearly dead (5% and under) then charge to the absolute max by plugging and unplugging it multiple times. The thread gives better instructions. At the end you just reboot into recovery and choose calibrate battery. If that doesn't help then you may need to do a clean flash because at 1% every 10 minutes it sounds like something on your phone is constantly trying to run possibly from a past flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
I have read and done this and seems to help. Run your battery until phone shuts off, charge until full, unplug for about a minute and charge again until full. Do this 3 times, the drain charge and recharge, and check it for a few days after, should see a difference. Do that when it starts getting funky after. It made a difference for me. I went from needing to carry a charger with me at all times to not having to.

for not running clockworks mod 2.x is simple everytime i try it i can not get out of clockworks mod 2.x i selected reboot and the screen flashes for a second and i see the main screen again. I pull the battery and all i get is the clocks works mod screen again...

For internal memory I had over 180mb free

For sd memory i have about 9gb free out of 16gb. I have the card partioned into three with clocksworks mod 2.5 version...

I just think that their are too many options in LAuncher pro and that makes it customizable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
So I went back to mid 4.1 because I was having issues with 4.2.

My biggest issue is a few times I have had the sound go out where I can't make calls and the ringer doesn't work.

The second issue is I can't get the midNight 4 honeycomb battery theme to work. I cleared my caches 3x and it just boot loops.

I came over from 4.1 after clearing data and caches so it wasn't fresh install from EB13. 4.2 always flashes on the first try so I didn't think I would need to do a fresh install to flash a theme on top. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
