[ROM] midNIGHT ROM v5.3 EXT4 (Awareness Edition) & BYOR Edition 05/15/2011

[Johnny.Bravo]

Back on topic, the battery life on this ROM seems to be the same as the last several versions. I was hoping to see an improvement with the ICQ gone. I have noticed however that my phone charges up MUCH faster than before. From 10% back up to full usually takes 4+ hours with the phone on. I plugged it in yesterday at around 20% and about 30 minutes later I looked at it and it was already up to 65%. It might not last longer, but it sure seems to charge faster.

First of all - I just wanted to thank every one of you for being patient with me and answering my questions. This may sound hard to believe... but I am trying to search first. (maybe I'm not utilizing the right keywords...)

My phone's behavior is really odd. Now when calling out... I have to toggle the speakerphone, despite the fact that I am using a BT headset Is it normal for my phone to "hang" 30 seconds... before it starts calling out?

And is the toggling speakerphone issue... present in Sprint's stock 2.1 ROM (ie DI18 )?

Well dont feel bad my single sucks texts come late and they get them late there are times ill get a whole bunch at once and before wasn't there now is and makin me sound stupid bc I didn't answer my chick bc it was there at first and then it was so it makes m look like a lier on top data is crap even with full bars. I wonder if that has to do with like evo with that http addy and port having to be reset who knows but its nice to have 2.2 but I feel like I made a bad choice to leave evo for epic sometimes

I don't think gmail is in the base rom. Pretty sure you either need to add it before you flash, or flash the zip in the midnight rom extras folder.

Difficult, indeed - Anon.

I may try flashing back to stock 2.1 / DI18

Has anyone had any experiences with dialing out - and others not being able to hear with DI18? Always toggling the speakerphone is such a hassle whenever I want to talk on my phone...

What still doesn't make sense - is that it's considered a software bug. If that is the case, why are only some phones affected? I would assume its hardware, and any update would not be able to fix it?

I don't think its that the actual process is hard. It is easy once you get it. I never did anything more than download an app before I moved to midNIGHT ROM 3.2. That was easy enough, so I flashed 3.3 when it became available. What I find difficult is the terms (What is Odin?) and tracking the location of files (Where do I find the stock EB13 after I install the new version of CW?). The video that Rob did on the bottom of his Android Development page really helped me a lot. So as an idiot when come to this stuff, it is doable and the results are worth it when Samsung, Sprint, and Google release half baked products. The help you get from the folks on this forum is awesome.
