Weird, why not run Bonsai, midNIGHT or Viper 2.2 ROMs?
I have been using midNight for about 3 months (since I got my epic for xmas) and it is VERY fast with no lagginess what so ever
Mine didn't work on 2.1 either.

Mine has worked on 2.1 stock, 2.1 epic experience, 2.1 noobnls rom and other 2.1 roms ive tried as well as now running bonsai..
i was running bonsai. i switch roms every day until i find one i like. ive run almost all of the dk28 roms at this point. i was running viper with the gingerbread theme with ext4 and i really liked that setup. but the notification led let me stealthily text at work or school so really miss it. i re-rooted my epic and put the latest epic experience for eclair back on my phone and ran phoenix kernel but for some reason the newer builds of that for me make my touchscreen unresponsive whenever it feels like it, so i went back to fluff kernel. however, the notification light still doesnt work. ive tried wiping the phone, using odin to go back to stock, ive tried third party notification led programs, tried playing with the stock settings, installing handcent again and playing with those led settings, and just about everything else i can think of. im thinking there must be something i can run in the terminal emu to make it reset or something. im a pretty avid linux user, but im no expert when it comes to android so this is something slightly out of my expertize. but from googling and browsing xda somewhat, its a growing problem. most people dont care enough to fix it though and like 75% of xda members with epics moved to froyo anyway.

Hey all, this isn't a major issue, but whenever I reboot my EVO, the 4G radio turns on. Since I'm, running SwtchPro, I see it and never leave it on too long, but it is a bit irksome. I originally thought it was the ROM when I was running Fresh 3.1, but last night I switched to Baked Snack 1.3 and I still have the same problem. I never use 4G normally so it's off at shutdown, but it turns on at every boot. Anyone have a similar problem or know a fix? I have the latest Radios as of 2.2's release...

I have the same issue if I use launcher pro or adw, the 4g toggle seems the culprit for me. I made a shortcut to the wireless and network tab and turn it on from there, it is an extra step but it works.
Bump... Still having this problem. Currently on Baked Snack 1.3 (1.4 later today) running Netarchy Kernel, ADW Launcher, SwitchPro widget. Every reboot, I see the 4G toggle come on...
My camera is broken, it first started while I was using MIUI. I didn't pay it any attention because I thought that the new kernel I flashed broke it, and it was an aosp rom anyway and those are sometimes touchy. Next I flashed LiquidRush and it stayed this way but I thought it was because that port wasn't compatible with evo cameras. Now I just flashed Warm 2.2 RLS5 Beta and my camera, which is a sense rom, and my camera still isn't working. It's been at least two weeks now. Has anybody else had this problem? Any solutions?
My wife's Samsung Transform had the same problem (OK, green screen). I DL'd Vignette to see if it was a driver problem rather than a hardware problem. Camera worked fine W/ Vignette, AND the stock camera app started working again.
Give it a shot. Can't hurt.

No dice. Might be hardware since my camera hasn't worked across 3 roms and 5 kernels that have no camera problems for anyone else.
Wow I never seen that I seen all black and force close but that's a first

My GF's has this same exact problem. Shes running Myns RLS3, Took it to sprint and they said they fixed it. However its still doing it randomly. Tried different kernels and different camera apps same thing.
i had the same problem a few days after installing the new evo update, and im on a stock rom, my phone is not even unlocked so i dont think its the custom roms. However I had installed the barcode scanner app right before it started to do that so i unistalled it and it stopped at least for now it hasnt done it since.
To OP
Buff:
Did you ever get your pink camera fixed? I ask because I recently went through a similar story, tried the latest MIUI, then MikFroyo, and now I have a broken camera.
First it was all black. Now its all pink. And I can start to see through the pink now. I'm gonna wait a few days and then take it over to sprint. I've already flashed over a stock rom and i've followed all the steps to "un-root" so I don't get refused service. Camera still displaying "pink"..
LOL you are lucky I signed up for email notifications to this thread. I never solved the problem so I unrooted and took it to Sprint. The tech said he reseated the camera module but that didn't fix it. They ordered me a refurbished replacement but I didn't have insurance so it cost me $35. Now I have a 0003 that doesn't like havs and I wish I had my 0002 back.
I'm having the same problem here. From cm6 to cm7 to stock and more in between it just wont work (except randomly sometimes) I heard elsewhere that it could be the 0004 hardware needing different camera drivers that the current kernels don't have. I don't know how this would explain it not working after a FULL wipe and flashing back to stock. If anyone can help PLZ do! Thanks.

Yeah look in the dev forum for the unroot thread. One word of advice, if you have a 0.76 hboot you will need to upgrade for it to say s-on.
Also getting the pink camera screen.... Going to call customer service and see if they will send me a replacement!
I read on Buzz about wireless, the sprint official forums in your account and some say thats it hardware: http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/236185
From the forum:
I had this same pink screen issue. Pushed on the camera lense and hear a "Click" Must have been loose like you said. No problems so far and the pink screen is gone.
the android lockscreen seems to think that you messed up when you connect 2 points but you didn't.... it happens every few times you unlock and you have to relock the screen and turn it back on for it to work... im running nebula rom... I hope you guys get what im talking about
Epic
If you are using setcpu make sure you have it set to conservitive and set your min to 2 and max to max. IMOE if you have min set to low it takes a few seconds to recognize your touching the screen.
im not... idk what the problem is it just messes up every once in a while and it wont work untill I relock the screen I think its a problem with DK28 because I've had this issue on other rims to... thanks for the suggestion tho.
Epic
That is possible I have seen issues where the screen wont respond to touch unless you lock and unlock but I think it was on every version /rom I have tried. Have not yet seen this issue on viperrom (day 5)
do you use the android pattern lockscreen? that's what im talking about

Ok seriously its ROMS not RIMS (rims are for your car/glasses) if using swype just type roms and hit space it will add it to your dictionary. Also caps and proper sentence structure will get more people to take you seriously. I dont really care but some of the more knowledgeable people can be Nazi's about that kinda stuff. Also read your typing before you hit send, this is not a txtmsg, it will help others with the same problem. Not trying to be a **** or anything just my $0.02.
As far as I can tell this seems to be an issue with android in general if your homescreen is not freezing also. If homescreen is freezing too sprint should replace the phone. Just Odin back to DI18 before you take it in. Sorry I could not be more helpful on this one.
Haha sorry im using the gingerbread keyboard that corrects everything.

I have that problem as well. It has been happening a lot since I've been on Bonsai 2.0.1. Didn't happen much at all on the various Viper roms. And I use an unlock pattern. I have to turn the screen off, then back on and retry before it registers correctly. Strange.
Aha so im not the only one good I just didn't want it to be only my phone doing it phew!

Didn't look super hard but have you guys tried adding to the bonsai issues page. been trying for like 30 mins and cant get it to duplicate on viper 4.0.3. or the old lady's Epic on nebula. My kids are both on stock DK28 and can get it one out of ten times.
EDIT: Kids are on stock DI18 not DK28.
Thinking back my moment did the same thing and I was never able to solve it. Any dev's want to chime in on this?
ok, i am really hoping someone can help me out here. so ever since froyo came out i have been having weird call problems, i will be on a phone call and randomly it will mute me. the mute button won't be activated and the only way to fix the problem is to toggle the speakerphone on/off. now i have tried several roms (syndicate, bonsai, ace) and they all have the same problem. i recently tried ace and it worked fine for a couple of days and then suddenly it did it this morning. i have also swapped out my phone and it still does it!
some people suggested playing with the voodoo sound options and none seemed to work.
if anyone has had this issue or knows of things i could try i would appreciate it extremely. this problem is driving me insane (along with all my friends who it constantly happens to while on the phone with me.)
thanks!
Moved to Q&A.
It could be a manufacturer defect? Does it happen on stock?

Only for about a day. I could try it longer. Wouldn't swapping the phone like I did cover a phone defect though?
This use to happen to me back on the DK28 build even DI18 I think but haven't seen it since official EB13 and even on EC05 now. That's weird. Did it start all of a sudden or has it been an ongoing problem? When did you get your phone? Oh wow you said it's a new one? Refurbished? WHen you got your new phone did you restore a backup from your old phone or start fresh?

i started fresh, except for a couple apps i restored settings for. but i didn't restore any system stuff. this happened right after froyo update for me. at first i thought it was a voodoo thin, but ive tried genocide with the updated voodoo, plus how can i be the only one having this problem. it makes no sense to me.
i guess i could try stock, but i mean i really don't want to run stock....ugh.
---oh new phone was straight from sprint about a week ago.
This is happening to me as well. I'm stock rooted froyo with all stock apps still in place. Very annoying. I never had this issue before the froyo update.
Anyone know of a fix for this yet?
I'm about to take a B.F.H. and "fix" the phone. My epic is doing this on every call I recieve or make.
Anyone have any ideas? I can't deal with this much longer. Really want to smash the phone. Guess I'll unroot and take it into bb or sprint...

yeah i got a new phone and it made no difference. good luck though!
So I've been having a bit of trouble with my t989 lately, when I try unlocking the phone I will either get a black screen (the lock screen will appear for a split second before going blank if I hit the lock button again) or it won't track my finger movements on the screen. If I manage to unlock the device I end up seeing numerous graphic glitches ranging from the bar at the top w/ the clock/battery meter just gone and the keyboard not working.
I'm runing CM9.0.0 because I had issues with 10.2 (battery wouldn't charge) and 10.1.3 (similar to my lock screen issues but not as severe, still agitating) and also 9.1 which had the same exact issues as I'm having now. I've tried installing with different gapps but the same thing happens. The phone will work for a day or two, then the glitches come. After resetting, everything is normal for a day or so, then it's normal a few hours, etc. The time is getting narrower between reboots and it's a bit frustrating.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong, if anything? I flash via twrp and wipe, then install the rom, then install gapps, then reboot, wait 20min, reboot, and go about my business w/ the setup and such. I would be fine going back to 10.1.3 but jellybean roms and snapchat don't really like to work together on this phone for some reason. It's really the only app I use because it seems like the only way my friends want to communicate nowadays, so I'd prefer to stay on ics if possible...
If anyone can give any insight I'd really appreciate it

Have you tried using Odin to flash back to stock? That is usually the recommended step if you are having problems with custom ROMs.
And the newest stock is 4.1.2, so at least you wouldn't have to be on ICS.

I'll give that a try. Odin is just the program used to root originally, correct? Also, I want to stay on ICS if possible. So after doing that I'm going to try CM9 again and see how that works.
Anyway, the past few days I've been using AOKP mr2 milestone 1 and it's been okay. For some reason the battery life is bad even with juice defender and a task killer taking care of things. In a matter of minutes after clearing tasks I'm down from ~350mb of ram free to 60. Is that normal with that rom?
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm not the best with technology but i figured i was smart enough to figure this out...
bump.
I still haven't tried flashing w/ odin yet. Does anyone know where I can find a gingerbread stock rom? I've been looking for a while and can only find the jellybean one. Since I want to stay on ICS what I want to do is go from gingerbread and up to that rather than downgrading from the jellybean stock rom if that makes sense.
