Thank you very much for the info dev. and now will be flashing over to this rom.

on a side note, read the Bare-hand man blog you posted, and I'm a guy that never crys but you sir opened the flood gates, I have a son thats almost four that has HPV palipus in his throat that he has to have surgery on every month to keep his airway open and vocal cords functioning. things may be a bit tough on you now my friend but god's gonna get you back for the slack your picking up that others refuse to!

Hey Rob,

Do you have an ETA on when you will post the stock lockscreen zip? My wife much prefers the stock over the AOSP.

Thanks for your hard work on this amazing ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
I just wanted to say I was able to flash, and am now on 4.1 and going to play with my phone. Robb, dnathan, and a couple of others really pitched in to help. That is one of the reasons I love this rom. I have been very happy with every version so wanted to move to this with all the raves.

I have never had so many problems - I do feel something is wrong with daemon's download, it would not work, no matter what I did, and I used

everything I knew and what several of you knew.

The rom with built in cwm worked great, I was just nervous with the many variations and builds out there, so stuck with your instructions and now your great help.

Everyone pitches in, gives good advise, tries to help ptmedic with suggestions and solutions. This has helped me tremendously learn how to manipulate and use my phone. My hubby has stock, pushed the update and had a lot of problems - I could even use Odin on laptop while on vacation to

revert (he won't let me break his phone. I have never been that stuck, really thought it was bricked, till this morning!!)

So thanks to all of you, I will try to pay back by helping those when I can.

Medic,

I've been a big fan of your Roms, and now your themes. Do you have any plans to make the themes compatible with the no CIQ Roms (Syndicate)? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I do believe medic plans to go back to using the bonsai roms for his base once they finalize their next version. Bonsai is planning to remove CIQ as well and thus medics rom would then have no CIQ as well....

Medic please forgive me and correct me if I am giving out incorrect information.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Bonsai no CIQ is in testing now. Got a few things to work out. I waited because I didn't want to release two roms so closely together. I also have a lot going on right now and so I've had to shift my priorities a bit. I do have a ROM in the kitchen but I haven't even been able to get it to my testers yet.

Honestly, my themes are compatible already but the reboot mod is an issues. I do need to rebuild in order to meet that standard....

Hopefully I'll have this out in the next day or so...

My wife works with autistic kids and yes we as a society do everything we can to pretend people with mental challenges don't exist. I feel for your struggles. Thanks for helping someone out. You make the world better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pr0ject:
anyone know how i can get the stock gallery and music player but not the msg app? i don't wanna flash the standard because i don't want the msg app installed at all... i use handcent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Pretty sure they are all in the midnight extras folder when you go into cwm. Did you check there first?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pr0ject:
I don't see separate flashes for the music player and gallery i think those items are just in the standard flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Here is a thread with a link to the gallery: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11837524&postcount=326

As far as the stock music I'm not sure. If you search enough you could find it, but the miui music player or something from the market would work as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Open up standard zip, go to system/ app and delete whatever you don't want, then flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Just be sure to do that using 7zip.

Also got my themes porting over to the no CIQ side. ALso adding the reboot mod as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
There is a video of how to do this on robs blog... the same place you got the original download.

Can't wait for the new and improved midNight. Thanks Rob for all your work. Happy Birthday to E.R.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vpka007:
I'm super excited to see what you do in 4.2. Keep up the good work and I hope your household get healthy. I have been fighting off the sickness in mine for a week.

No CIQ for 4.2? I like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wudstock54:
Ditto on the "No CIQ"
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
While patiently waiting for your next update, declided to flash your theme (honeycomb battery) on top of syndicate frozen rom. Got stuck in a boot loop. Tried again, same result. I opened up your theme and deleted MediaProvider.apk (from app) and Services.jar from framework. Re-flashed and it worked.

I have a feeling lots of people smarter than me knew this would work, but thought I would share.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Winzip Pro works as well. I open up roms all the time with it and strip out what I don't want and put in what I do want.

Rob, in response to your post on your blog "My broken heart"

So i go to circle k this morning to grab some coffee, i see a shopping basket with a duffel bag and blankets and alot of cans. I usually don't carry cash, but i happen to have 10 bucks in my wallet. So i go searching for this person inside the store and am unable to locate them. I'm about to leave and i'm getting in my jeep, and i see a lady outside looking for cans in the garbage. I put two and two together (Cart full of cans, and her looking for cans) so i ask "Would you like some money?" she replies "que", so i unleash my inner mexican and say "Quere Dinero" (Not sure if i spelled that right) and she says "Oh no no no" i walk up to her and insist she takes the 10 bucks, she declines again with a big smile. So i told her to have a good day, as i'm driving away, i look in my rear view mirror, and she is stepping into a 08 Nissan Altima.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Your heart was in the right place my friend. Thanks for sharing that. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys I'm working on the no CIQ themes and not having any success compiling. I hate themeing...just sayin...

Got a message from k0 and he is working on a fix for the issues with the no CIQ. Everything is on hold till he releases that.... Once that is fixed then we should see some progress...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
If you have some "Thanks" burning a hole in your pocket go to the bonsai thread and the ACS thread and spend them there.

Also you should do the same on any of amosher13's threads. He has really been bringing us lots of good stuff.....

Interesting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
NO CIQ either ROB.

Just like everything else these days, they are getting more nosier and up in our business.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
This has already been covered. He is planning to use the new Bonsai build which will have no CIQ along with many other tweaks. Rod will then take it even further with his own customizations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
Has anyone else had problems in this rom with settings like brightness and other things changing by itself? My brightness in display is always going up for no reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Medic,

Just wondering how you are doing. I have seen some of your blog posts lately and I know it has been an exceptionally tough last few weeks. Everything will turn around soon, it has to. I do have a quick question... is someone developing with you? I know it is much easier with a team and especially in your situation that would be helpful to take some of your version. I would offer to help, but I definitely have no rom dev experience. I am looking to get into it, but I am a long ways away from being able to help you. Love your roms and I am patiently waiting for your next release so I can get my sig back to how it should be!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Thanks.. I'm doing ok considering :)

While I don't have a development team I do have a great group of testers... Unfortunately I haven't had much to give them lately. This CIQ issue is kinda messy at the moment. k0nane is working to get the kinks out. I am utilizing some of the bonsai awesomeness right now in v4.2... I have also been beating my head into a wall trying to compile the themes with the reboot mod. I'm taking a break from that for now. As I said, I do have 4.2 up and running but this does not address the CIQ yet. k0nane suggested we wait till he releases the updated mod... I'm on board with that and will add the mod when it becomes available. For now I have a build I need to get it to my testers in the morning...

Thanks for checking in.....

Q

Odin the stuff found here:

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

That will give you EB13 with cwm3 already installed.

I have a question - I used dnathan's instructions in post 585 and a couple above. Was having fits trying to download and upgrade. Used this method, still had fits. I had Odin'd back to DK28 to be sure, cleaned, wiped multiple times.

When rebooting, it was coming up with Samsung S, then vertical Android flashing in middle, so kept trying, wiping, until blue circled Android came up on reboot and was stable. Phone now is running fine, battery usage not as efficient in stats for running and screen on.

So I was checking About Phone (which does not force close now), and saw this

I'm on Genocide EB Kernel under Firmware, Midnight Rom 4.1 under build, but Baseband still shows DK28, not EB13 anything.

Is this right? Or did something not transfer over with multiple reflash (about 5 times using that method) to stabilize. It was frustrating, so wondering if not on EB13 Baseband and does that matter.:confused:

I'm getting ready to go on vacation, this took over a day to read, ask, get your answers and make it work, and don't really want to do over vacation - want working phone.

If its not right, I would like to leave running and wait for newer without IQ and start reflash then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wudstock54:
As Granny used to say, "better slow and steady than haste and waste". Don't beat yourself up. Have some fun with it Bro. As always, many thanks for your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You shouldn't have gone to dk28, but it's not a big deal. You need to print the eb13 modem only. Don't odin the full thing just the modem.

It is OK if you stay on dk28 modem, but the eb13 one gets better gps lock and faster data speeds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
dnathan,

Reading above, I don't understand "print", I'm trying and learning!!

I followed your instructions explicitly, but you never know what can happen.

I had read another that said "check partition", but didn't since you didn't. Don't know what that meant, should I have, or did it cause something.

It was the worst flash I have ever had, dating way back to WinMo 5 something. Just happy to have gotten it up.

But that is why battery is a little worse, phone is running a little harder, stats were always under 10%, now about 15%, which probably affects they battery.

Should I go back to Odin, try to reflash EB13? If so, do I just put tar in modem? Repartition? Does that erase everything off phone again? I hate to have it go nuts and act up again, 2 days until vacation and can't spend another whole day screwing with it. Or wait for pmedic's newer, non-iq.

Suggestions?? and thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
Download EB13 Modem Firmware and flash with ODIN. Note: Put the EB13_modem.tar filename in the PDA field

Found this on bonsai's wiki - looks like the modem, and states using Odin won't erase user installed data. Would this be the way to go??

I would like to have stability while gone - all files are on computer at home if something goes beserk, and it sounds like it really was during flash, and might again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Yes that is right follow what bonsai said for modem only flash.

Before print was supposed to be flash. Not sure how that happened. Must have been autocorrect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
Thanks, hit the button. I Odin'ed and Modem went thru in 29 seconds, reads correctly on phone - nothing seems amiss.

I feel better, should run better all under the same system - finally. Just needed an expert opinion before I did that and started all the flashing and shaking again!!.

I see you are running Bonsai but really help in Midnight's forums. Yes, I know they are based on it, but just wonder why, any differences. I have stuck with him because the roms work good, but he works hard, and has the

tough family life. I so admire the work he does and the dedication.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I would rather been on midnight, but I enjoy the kernel that bonsai has right now over the genocide kernel. I try to help rob as much as I can and will actually be running Midnight soon, just waiting on the next beta. I really enjoy the barebones nature of midnight and the ability to customize it to fit my needs. Also I tend to get very good results with functionality and speed because all the bloat is gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Cosign with this statement! Even though technically my benchmarks aren't as high as the ACS Frozen ROM, the real-world speed and fluidity in using midNIGHT is seriously awesome, which after all is what really matters. Haven't had a single hitch since switching over to this one after trying some of the other EB13 roms. I'm actually running the Twilight Zone kernel on this too, which probably helps a bit as well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Update:

midNIGHT ROM v4.2 is officially in closed beta. Sorry the group is full for now. I wanted to let everyone know what was going on. v4.2 will contain the malware patch, no CIQ fix as well as various other tweaks and updates.

As always please check the blog frequently for updates and follow me on twitter and facebook.

Thanks again for your patience and support....

Also if you have any "Thanks" burning a hole in your pocket please visit k0nane's and bonsaithreads over spend your "Thanks" on them. They truly deserve it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
So to clarify for everyone so hopefully we don't get this question over and over...

you have created your own kernel that uses some of the fixes brought by ACS, Bonsai, and others?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
You all deserve a HUGE thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
No, actually. I will be using the bonsai kernel. They have included all the great fixes from k0nane and mkasick...... I did not build or even edit the kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
While you wait be sure to check out his blog (link in his sig). Also go read or at least click on some of his articles for the examiner. That is part of what his pay is based on so it is kind of like donating if you can't donate right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] air2k57:
Really awesome rom. I came from bonsai and didn't think I could find anything better. Tried all other major roms, but always go back to midnight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Yeah midnight uses bonsai as a base and then makes it so it is easier to customize and make your own.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Anything in the kernel does not belong to me! All credit there goes to tanimn. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
eagerly awaiting v4.2...hopefully today!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Rob is waiting to release until Bonsai and ACS both drop as he uses their kernel fixes. Plus he is finishing a few things up so it is as polished as always.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Last night I had to flash a different ROM. My phone running midNIGHT 3.2 started rebooting itself. I pulled the battery and re started it and EVERYTHING was Force Closing. I ended up having to wipe everything 3x, still didnt work until I wiped to factory and flashed another ROM. Blah! It just happened out of the blue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
upgrade to midnight 4.0 then do the update for 4.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
so does this have touch wiz? i love touch wiz.... it makes me wiz...
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
You can install Touch Wiz on this. After you flash, you will find many zip files in the Midnight ROM extras folder, including Touch Wiz
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys I have a preview video of midNIGHT ROM v4.2 up at the blog. check it out...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:

These are all working great! Great job as always, thanks Rob!
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Not sure if this is supposed to be apparent or not, but will the 4.2 update restore our data as well? Or will we need to start fresh again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
v4.2

Hey medic will 4.2 be up tonight or are you waiting until tomarrow?

Looks really good man, gr8 work as always...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It will backup and restore. Although I would suggest wiping x3 due to the nature of the BYOR Edition. If you get FC's then you will want to wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Still in testing. ETA soon. I'll update when it's ready..... Keep in mind "soon" is a relative term....
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:

[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
I installed on my friends EPIC 4.1 EB13 and he is telling me that his 3g speeds are completely low. He showed me stats from Speedtests and they were below 5 kB/s and with 4g obviously it jumped to around 420 kB/s. He doesnt usually use 4g so is it alright to ODIN the DK28 modem file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Does he have the eb13 modem right now? Those scores are way low. I get over 500 kb/s on 3g and 3-6 mb per second of 4g depending on where I am. You may want to update his prl. you can try the included updater in settings, but a lot of people need to use the manual method you can find in the forums. If that doesn't work reodin the eb13 and the update prl again. Eb13 is way faster for me and for most other people.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
It shows : Baseband version shows: D700.0.5S.EB13 ... I did the PRL update in the settings. He went up to 18 kB/s for 3g lol.. 4 times faster about haha. but 4g was I think ehh.. Then i gave him his phone back and he did updates on everthing else in the settings he said and now he is back to 30-40 kB/s and 4g varies but hit as high as 550 kB/s.

So im not sure if its 100% cause im on ATT and my 3g speeds are different, so I cant really compare to anyone
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Do the manual prl update found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898628&highlight=prl

It is more work, but then you for sure get a good prl, for some reason the one in settings is hit and miss. If that doesn't work then you may odin the modem only and see if maybe there was an issue there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grkmaster:
Thanks man for the help. I will try it out
[Epic 4G Android Development] cholepuree1:
Im loving this rom. with the HC theme it looks amazing! Awesome work! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Are you using the byor or the standard setup? Byor is what makes this rom so good. Rob should patent this before someone steals it! ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys hopefully I'll have a release tonight....... I have my hands full at the moment but I think beta 2 went pretty much without any hitches. BYOR should be out at some point tonight.......

Thanks for the parience and support. While you're waiting make sure to Thank the Bonsai team and also Thank k0nane at the SRF thread. They truly deserve all our thanks. Now go spend your "Thanks" budget on them...go on..go click.....

Hey medic can i just delete the extras folder and flash v4.2 over v4.1? Instead of having to go back and do the whole convert thing again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dungngo:
Thank you very much for the rom Rob. I just have a quick question. Did you use bonsai 3.0.0 or 3.0.1 for the base? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
3.0.1....and its very nice!

no need to convert to ext 4 again if that's what you are asking....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
That's only if your not already on CW3 and EXT4. Just delete the extras folder from your sd card and flash.....

3.0.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] sneezy316:
I have been waiting for this. Thank you so very much for your hard work, again!! Will your current themes work? I'm looking at the blue circle and the honeycomb.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
They will all work. They have been tested.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
All the themes have been rebuilt and modded with the Reboot mod. :)

As dnsthan13 stated , they have all been tested...

Enjoy
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyken:
Couple of observations since flashing from 4.1: Installed standard from folder after rebooting.

1: I am showing Bonsai v3.0.0 in About Phone under settings. Everything else looks OK. Thought it was supposed to be 3.1?

2: Getting FC's for Swype on every reboot.

3: Are the theme's ready to go?

Other than that for now, everything seems OK.

Thanks for all who worked on this latest and greatest ROM,

Ken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Det0natoR:
I also have noticed the Bonsai 3.0.0. kernel version. Also, I installed as a fresh install and noticed that if I use Quick Boot to boot into recovery to install zips I get FCs all over the place. If I use the 3 finger method everything works fine. Other than that everything is great. Thanks for the great ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sneezy316:
Had gapps fc's until I flashed the standard upgrade zip. Was it because it restored data from my bonsai install?

Thank you for the themes and all the hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyken:
Update: Installed Swype from extras folder, seems to have taken care of start up FC issue.

Also, was gonna ask where reboot feature was when you pressed the power button because it wasn't there. It appears after you flash a theme but not before then.

Everything looks great so far...

Again, great effort all around,

Ken.
