After installing MidNight ROM 5, i don't see onscreen keyboard and no option for input method.

Help please.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
you must boot back into recovery and flash a keyboard from the "midnight extras" folder
[Epic 4G Android Development] prem2k55:
I have Midnight extras from MidNight ROM 4.2 ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
No You said you flashed v5

So it should've put a midnight extras folder on your sd card.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] lloydcabraham:
Hey guys, can you help me figure out what's up. When I place my phone in the car dock and go to dial a number, at times I actually get the keypad in landscape mode which is what I want. trouble is that most of the time, I get no keypad and have to dial from favorites, scroll through my contacts or turn my phone to portrait mode to dial from the keypad. It almost never happens and I can't figure out how to get it to show consistently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] prem2k55:
Thank you so much, I didn't realize that there is new folder MidNight ROM Extras in SD card.

There are so many zips, does anyone know if there is feature description for each zip package anywhere?

I flashed v5 last night but got the tws bug... I subsequently flashed bonsai v4 and haven't gotten the bug... anyone else having problems with tws on midnight v5 other than me?
[Epic 4G Android Development] unxguyjr:
Updated to v5 from 4.2, Odin EC05 everything working tws seems to be gone..only strainge issue is Phone dialer does not show contact photo...Has anyone else had this problem?...any ideas on what to try? ...have not done a clean flash since was not having any real problems
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I don't know of it's the ROM our the modem but, I no longer have good 4g service. I used to get solid 4g bars at my house and all over my city. Since flashing, I'm fluttering in and out of 4g.

Edit: I just flashed back to EB13 and it seems to be just as crappy. It's possible that one of the Sprint towers is being serviced or needs to be. It must just be a coincidence that it started today.

Settings for best battery life?

I've read all the tips and tricks, but for those who are reporting mega battery times (I read somewhere over 24hrs with this rom) What settings / mods do yall do?

I've read the basics, close the DRM, wipe batt stats, usve wifi over 3g, etc, but I want to know how some get such insane battery!

Are yall leaving sync + data connection on all the time?

Do you ever switch into airplane mode?

Any flashes?

Overclock widget? Set CPU?

And also when I wipe my battery stats in clockwork, it just goes back to the previous menu, doesn't display anything like my previous recovery did. Is this normal with clockwork 3+ or is it not working?

Thanks guys!

PS - I did do a search....

Go ahead and slap me but, I would like to grow a nice shrewsbury bush. Let me know how it all works out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Is there a a setup.exe? If so, run that.

There is one in the drivers zip I posted the link for earlier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I am not; biggest user of battery is my screen. Cell standby is 4%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theamazingaustin:
Did you remove the DRM stuff? Whenever I uninstall is breaks my media playback except using stock music player, and freezez quadrant on the video decode.

I just manually disable the service every boot - kind of annoying but oh well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
instead of manually disabling the service, you can freeze it in Titanium and it will never start.
[Epic 4G Android Development] timberwolf671:
Yes, turn off data connection when not using it. 2nd, on boot we still have to use the turn on Airplane mode then off again will help get better battery life.

Just as a heads up, I have posted a red theme made just for this rom.

XDA Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004143
[Epic 4G Android Development] theamazingaustin:
Is the airplane mode trick still needed on EC05? Whenever I check cell standby, the time without signal is usually 0%, or pretty darn low.

And is there a widget that allows midNIGHT rom to toggle data? I know on CyanogenMod 7 my Hero was able to do that but idk if that was just built from the ground up so they can include stuff like that... A toggle is just a step easier than holding the power button, and hey, I'm lazy! :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] bighuta:
The people having the TWS bug after flashing v5 probably didn't Odin the EC05 modem. Everything is flawless for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Thread cleaned. Please keep it on topic and friendly. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JojoSteez:
I used Titanium to freeze it. Now that I think of it, I havent ran quadrant since I did this. Let me try and see...

EDIT: That was the problem. I guess I'll have to unfreeze DRM content when I want to run quadrant. I only really run it when I flash a new ROM update anyway, so no biggie...Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I freeze DRM and run quadrant with no problem. I think your issue lies elsewhere.

[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I am doing the same thing. Were you able to do the cwm3.0.0.6 without having a rom on ext4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] coke32:
Dooid so jacked for thiss.. think its gunna be the first one out?
[Epic 4G Android Development] runner77:
cwm3.0.0.6 should convert your phone to ext4 during the process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I got that part, but I thought I read somewhere that the stock rom would not run on ext4 that you needed to have a ext4 rom before doing the cwm3.0.0.6, just didn't want to re-do odin if it wasn't going to work. So you did that step and it worked on the stock rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
im trying it now, almost done so ill let u know...
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
Start in EB13 from Sprint or Samsung

then root 2.55

then flash deodex EB13 from recovery(2.55) (3 finger from boot)

then root 3.06

then turn off, 3 finger into recovery...let it EXT4 for 4-6 minutes

then flash dualFS kernel BEFORE getting out of recovery.

then reboot

Done!

This is what i did...
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
Yea it works but you get the sideways flashing android logo over the regular logo but all seems well
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Thanks....I will finish that step then wait for midnight 4 to be released....
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
wouldnt it be easier to odin to EB13 then root with 3.0.0.6 and reboot into rom then wait and drop new rom on SD card and then reboot into recovery let it format and then flash rom

Looks like MidNight Rom 4.0 ran into a problem and is workin on a fix
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:

Is it at all posible to go back to completely stock "no root no nothing" without using odin? I have tried everything under the sun to get my laptop to recognize my phone but nothin doing. I want to take it to sprint but i need to be on stock first or they will **** me around and not do **** for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I think the only way is to use odin; it is pretty easy and there is a thread on getting back to stock here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032

Hope that helps. Good luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] JojoSteez:
Yeah, you guys are right. quadrant wasn't working til I defrosted DRM and rebooted, but I froze DRM again and quadrant is working now. Something was just weird on that boot. After the reboot, no problems. Dunno what it was. Oh well, all fine now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:

hey rob, are you considering releasing the standard rom and not just the byor? less hassle imo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
He already did. It's in the midnight extras on your sd card. After you flash the BYOR and boot the first time, go back into CWM, install zip from sd, navigate to Midnight Rom extras, standard edition upgrade, then flash the zip.

Alternatively, download the Rom to your PC. Open with 7-zip, navigate to sd card, Midnight Rom extras, standard edition upgrade. Then copy all the files in data apps, system apps, and system libs to their respective folders in the BYOR. Then, copy BYOR to your sd card and flash.

Enjoying this rom, but I have one minor issue I can't seem to figure out.

How do I get the stock google web browser working? Every time I try and launch it, it just gives me the 'this site may be down or temporarily removed, make sure you have a data connection....yada yada yada, dolphin HD, opera and sky fire all work fine. Scratching my head and going nowhere....any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
I still have this problem.. and my camera is working but not taking pictures
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Not sure if this is it but, try going into the settings in the browser/scroll to the bottom/click on "reset to defaults"

Again, I'm not sure if that's it but, I was having problems using searching google in x-Scope browser and that sorted it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
I appreciate the response, but it didn't work.

I think the issue may just be that I don't know how to BMOR.....that's build my own rom;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
I tried all night to uninstall drivers and reinstall drivers, update drivers, and nothing would work man. I took it to sprint and i had the permanent root stock eb13 on my phone and they would not help me cause of the superuser app which i could not take off. Do you know of a way i can just flash any stock version in CW3 so i dont have the root and superuser app so i can take it to sprint and see what the hell is wrong with this phone? Funny thing is when i connect it to any computer the mass storage, charge, options never come up. It only starts charging without any of the symbols in the status bar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] timberwolf671:
Yes, the TWS is still there. Some may not need it that live in a good reception area. For me at home I get maybe 1 bar at best and TWS is a real probem. The airplane trick helps with TWS for me because of living in a fringe area. In town where I have 7-8 bar most of the time TWS is not a problem. Maybe 10% without using the airplane trick. But when I do use it, I will get 0% in a work period of 12 hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theamazingaustin:
Battery Loss Overnight

Unplugged on v5, is 15% battery loss overnight with mobile set to come on every 15 min for only 5 min, sync on, and sent to shut off is data us under 100kb/s good?

It was over 7.5 hour period.

It was 100% when plugged in last night and hung there for a while.

New radio / modem, DRM apps killed /frozen, gps, wifi, 4g off, screen off of course,

I'd just expect better life, especially with the scren off and me not using it. I wanna know how people are getting 30 hours on these things! :P

Also, is "andrdsprintextention" a necessary component? I can't see where to freeze it, but killing the process it rarely opens back up and I don't see any side effects.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] prem2k55:
I flashed "Restore the clock in your notification bar" zip and rebooted the phone. Battery went from 95% to 9% and then drained out totally in 30 minnutes.

Now even after charging overnight to 100%, battery depletes faster 5% every 10 minutes. (DRM and other services are off).

Any idea?

I've had my phone unplugged since 5 am. I drove 2 hours using sprint navigation, played slacker radio the entire trip and also off and on for a couple hours. I facebooked a bit, checked email, and calendar often. I installed/uninstalled a few apps. It's ten to 1. That's 8 hours of use and I still have 30% left! I did turn off the screen for most of the time but, with that much use, this is incredible. What am I to do with these 3 extra batteries that I have in my pocket? BTW I do have it OC'd to 1.2Ghz 200min conservative. Thanks Rob, mammon, and ACS team. I can't wait to see what can happen when the Galaxy S2 comes out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Tamvegas:
Thanks for this new ROM. It's working great so far.

One question though - I thought this was based on the new Genocide kernel, yet I had issues with it and I don't have them with yours. I had wireless conflict on Genocide after using Wireless Tether and also the GPS would never lock in. With yours, neither problem at all. And I just ran the zip, letting the script do the data backup/restore. So much easier than it used to be. Haven't lost any data save for the Memo data that I restored from a TB backup.

I am using the EC05 modem.

One thing that is missing now is Sprint Voice Search. Anyone know where I can re-install that from?

Thanks again for all the hard work on this ROM.

[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
This sounds like you have a ****ty cable. Have you tried replacing it with a brand new good one? The one that comes with the phone is known to be garbage and doesn't work for more than charging, for most people.

If you can't get it to work, maybe you shouldn't have zapped it to death, by plugging open 120v wires into the usb port and made the phone completely unusable, forcing you to take it into another store and finding that they need to replace it for you. wink wink

[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Has anyone played around with the smartass governor in setcpu in the built-in bonsai kernel (edit: running midNIGHT v5)? I thought it was supposed give better battery life with spending more time at lower frequencies, but when I check the times at each frequency, it tends to rest at 800MHz... to be honest, though, I'm still confused at what that specific governor does.
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
I am not seeing that. I have mine set at 100/1200 set to ondemand. 100 is not recommended, 200 is, but my phone runs just fine with it set there. I checked my stats and my phone spends the vast majority of the time at 100 (75% of the time) followed by 1200 (14%), then 800 (5%). I believe smartass uses two different settings, one for screen on and one for screen off. Some people like to use conservative, but I personally don't like it, my phone feels laggy running that. performance keeps it at the highest setting possible, powersave keeps it at the lowest setting possible. userspace is not recommended for use. I hope all this helps! Good luck!
