If I'm flashing fresh this rom do I need to install 1.0.1 then 1.0.2? Or can I just do the newest version. I like what I read about this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Please flash the newest version. Remember to wipe before you flash plz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gharris040604:
Use the newest version but make sure you wipe x3

oh, just wanted to get an update with the battery. ive installed juice defender to help with my battery situation.. not getting 20+ hours like randy with light usage, but currently with juice defender, im having it disable 3g when the screen off, ive found it greatly improves my battery life to 15+hours a day. :)

also just a quick note, my place kinda blocks the radio waves, so im stuck in a bad roaming zone, and my phones always searching for signal.. thats a major factor in the battery drain right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Comando156:
Same here, updated from 1.1.4 to 2.0, and now my battery life is cut in half. Spare parts says my phone is sleeping only 11% of the time aka running 89%, and if my wifi is on it will not sleep either, runs 100% of tme... any sugestions on why the upgrade made my phone not sleep???
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
update on my battery situation. as I think everyone knows by now, 2.0 has been no good for me. no matter what I do, 10% drain an hour.

flashed back to 1.1.4 last night. installed titanium backup and restored my remote desktop app that i must have, also installed terminal so I can have a phone that rotates before I die. fully charged last night with the phone off, turned it on, deleted battery stats. went to work this morning and left work with 55% left on the phone. I texted on the phone, used my remote desktop app, talked on the phone for 22 minutes, so basically I used the phone. I have no wifi service once I leave the house but wifi was on, bluetooth was on and connected for the 2 hours I'm driving. oh and gmail is on syncing and getting me email all day. I had this same experience when I had all my apps installed so I'm convinced its not an app problem. however it usually doesn't last more than a couple of days before I'm back to crap battery usage again.

But I can say for certain that flashing a clean 1.1.4 gives me battery life, but no matter what I do with 2.0 and I've tried a few things, I can't get the battery life. maybe this gives some clue as to what is going on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i don't think thats your problem, on my phone, with 2.0 and bad battery life, spareparts said the phone was sleeping when it was off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Yes when your phone is searching for a signal.that is a big battery killer.

Not blaming the program, but just saying... When I used Juice Defender I was missing calls and text, would get the alerts hours later. Using just SetCPU, turn down the processor while the screen is off, with semi-heavy use I get about 13 hours out of the battery before I hit the 20% mark.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Odd problem:

So I flashed this rom coming from stock DK28 with my tweaks. Followed the steps, converted to ext4, etc. Booted up, all is well. Just as I'm ready to start my theme on this, I realize that my market will not download anything. It just acts as if I don;t ask it to download; it starts, but just cancels itself. Cleared market data, cache, dalvik, blah blah blah. Nothing fixed it, but it's not a network issue as when I went back to stock DK28 it worked fine. I was really liking this rom though, and was wondering if anyone with a similar problem had a fix/knew of one. Thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Its not the rom.its a problem with the android market right now. I was having the.problem earlier today and last night. Just give it some time

[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's exactly what I thought! But it worked on my stock rom, which made me wonder ;) Ok, I'll give this rom a try then again in a few days and see :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Anyone been able to disable different apps using Autostarts? I used to do this on other DK28 ROMs but this one fails. I need to disable some other apps that get called on startup..connectivity change.etc. any other program to try?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Do you have usb debugging enabled? Autostarts works fine for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I've never had a problem with Autostarts on any ROM, including this one.

[Epic 4G Android Development] eatmeimadanish:
One thing to think about. We do base most of our impressions on the battery life based on the readings from either a battery app or the top bar in 2.0. I have found however that in 1.1.4 the top battery "appears" full up until 50% when it finally drops to half. I wonder how accurate these measurements are?

I went back to 1.1.4 to see if I get my battery life back. But I agree with the previous poster, in 2.0 I see about 10 percent battery drain an hour, no matter what I do (like turning off BT and all other wireless)

Are You Ready?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:

2.0.1 alt install instructions

Hear Yee! Hear Yee!

The ever glorious team of Bonsai has graced your pathetic stock epic to join the ranks of the L337 and bask in epeen glory! But be warned if you are of faint heart and mind turn back now for this journey will take you on a perilous journey to the beyond and back but will reward you in enlightened euphoria if you pass.

2.0.1 Will give you un-foretold bounty by adding:

Pandora now working with Bluetooth enabled

Possible fix for Ford SYNC (not tested)

Animated GIFs in browser now work

SMS logging removed from phone logs

No-bubble MMS mod applied

Progress bar for installation should work

Enabled swap for phones that have a swap partition

Removed bootup sound on base ROM. Bootup sound will be part of theme

Removed all SamsungWidets, Facebook, YouTube, LiveWallpaper. These things are better managed by the end user so that they get restored after ROM upgrades.

Added new exit menu that provides an option to reboot the phone. Recovery coming in future update.

WARNING! You need to have CWM3.0 installed to use this rom. If you have not done this then do not move forward or pass go. Do not collect $200. Find out how to do this and do it. Then feel free to come back. We want you to use Bonsai but not ruin your phone. We are not supporting the installation of cwm3.0 or people who do not read this, follow the directions or people who try to install Bonsai using the wrong version of CWM. You need to know how to use swap partitioning to use swap with Bonsai. We are not supporting users on how to set up swap or partitions. If you do not know what swap is, its benefits etc. do not ask us. There are plenty of enhancements that you can enjoy without this item.

So to reiterate , we are not responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, your couch, your dog, your cat or even your evil twin Skippy (Although we like him more than you) or anything else I failed to mention. It’s your choice to install and your choice to follow or not follow the instructions.

Now for the rest of you who want to experience the awesomeness that is bonsai4all clear your mind. Forget what you think you know; it no longer applies. Comprehend the Zen of the Bonsai and read on:

Download and install the bonzai4all 2.0.1 zip to your sd card. (If you need help here please reread the prior warning)

Turn off your phone.

Hold down the volume down, camera button and power button to start the phone into cwm3.

Select “install zip from sdcard”

Select “ choose zip from sd card”

Find the bonsai4all zip and select it.

Go grab a soda from the frig because it's going to take a while for our smart installer program to bonsai your phone.

Once completed (if needed) reboot your phone and enjoy.

If you have any questions on these steps do not contact us. Simply walk away from this and never consider yourself Mensa material. We are sorry, we tried to make it simple enough but failed to realize the depth of your stupidity.

*If you do not know what Mensa is then you need to google it from your stock epic.

Hope you like my install instructions,

MasterQu

Download GPS status from the market, and from there you can wipe the GPS cache and download GPS assistance data which really helps :)

Anyone know whats wrong??
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Your not Mensa material? ;)

I suggest you read the last 100 posts. After that how about giving us all the details of what exactly you did to rectify the problem so we don't waste our time going over spilled milk. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Bonsai 2.0.1. What about swapping. Is it built in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
The capability to use it, yes. Otherwise see previous instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djcslice:
Sorry you dont consider me Mensa material. I guess when common bugs/issues are found, they should be aggregated to the place where most users can find them aka OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Did you try to walk through the install process again? Power down the phone, pull the battery, put the battery back in, and press and hold power, volume down and camera at the same time until you boot into CWM 3.0.0.5, then reflash the zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Yes I have it enabled and super user rights enabled for the app. It just gives an error and says I must not have root access.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
I don't use the particular prog u r talking about, but it has been my experience that you may have a partial root. I know it sounds weird, but I have seen it before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
And the rest of post would be helpful? The problem you have isn't common, so what have you tried to fix it? Have you been able to repeat it with a new install? Again, if you tell us what you did to rectify the problem we can go forward. You did try something right?

djcslice, did you install the ROM using the OP instructions? I am not sure what you mean when you say you installed it via instructions on Google. Can you be a little bit more specific in your installation method and problem after the attempt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Not sure what the cause is, but using hte exact same configuration in Bonsa4all 2.0.0 and 2.0.1, I seem to have approx 30-35 mb more free ram at all times. For some reason, on 2.0.0, I would be hovering around 50 mb free ram, and programs would be killed by the internal memory manager often and having to reload (most likely leading to major battery drain during periods of moderate use), such as something like Folder Organizer, that runs constantly because I have links set on my home screens. When it has been killed, it is noticeably slower to open the folder link. If it's still active in the background, it's instantaneous. So I'm not sure what you guys did, but it freed up approx 30-35 mb of ram. Smooth and stable so far. Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Do you have a partitioned card with a swap file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Nope, and yes I thought of that before posting :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Flashed 2.0.1.

Everythings seems great so far! Thanks!

Just one thing.. I like the bubble mss better than the old style that is now white, is it safe to flash a themed bubble mss on the new update?

Update: Nevermind. I flashed a different mms. Works fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Did u ever have an app2sd partition before?
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
Quick ?? . What does it mean that swapping is enabled?? Thaanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
thier are two things that could be causing this. the most obvious is if you ever partitioned your SD card your swap is now running. Otherwise its the scheduler that Mammon88 and Randy_T created. Its very aggresive and ver efficient. If you want to watch it work install catlog and keep it open for a few minutes and watch it. Pretty kool stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Partial root when it's already built into the ROM?

Any other apps that I use that require root work just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Yes, but I have long since reformatted the sd card and the old sd-ext partition no longer exists.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I thought it may have something to do with the scheduler, but wasn't sure. I had an app2sd partition a long time ago, but reformatted and deleted it so the partition no longer exists. At any rate, the memory handling in 2.0.1 seems to be significantly better than 2.0.0. Good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
I agree with u I like the bubble one too. What I did was flsh back to 2.0.0. I have system app remover that can be downloaded from the market but its a paid app. Well worth the 2 bucks, and go to system apps look for mms 2.2.1 click on that then click on other click back up. When its backed up flash back to 2.0.1 and go into system app then look for that mms and uninstall that one. Ten hit menu click on restore and it will put the bubble 2.2 mms back on there.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
I don't think reformatting will get rid of a partition. Go into a terminal app and type "free" If your swapping you will see a number >0 in swap section.

Soooooo, i just got stuck on a boot loop..I simply put 2.0.1 on sd. flashed over 2.0.0 and it was fine. went into recovery and flashed gb theme and all was good..until i hit the power button...vibrates 2 times and reboots...over and over.

SO i pulled the battery and it kept going back to bonsai startup...i flashed 2.0.1 again and now the phone is wiped clean......it took me straight to google login upon reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I don't know why you think I don't know what I'm talking about. Swap value is 0.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Reflash but do not flash the GB theme. I had the same behavior but it was being caused by the GB theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
I did but seeing as how it rebooted my phone while apparently it was doing something EVERYTHING force closes...and it took me to the google account startup thing :/ im in the process of restoring a backup of 1.1.3 and flash 2.0.1 over :/
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It's not the theme, it's all themes. A change was made in the framework of this version of Bonsai that's not getting along with the themes.

I think they are working on correcting it. I think the new reboot option in the shutdown menu is the issue.

I didn't flash any theme. I had the vibrate and reboot problem as well.

Great ROM Mammon and RandyT, quick question was my files removed from this version. Only thing that didn't reinstall was my files. Not even a big deal, I just restored using sdxappremover. Definately noticed the 50mb of extra free ram when all process are killed, smooth. Good stuff guys.

At which point did you get the vibrate and reboot?

ATTN ALL THEMERS

If you favorite theme is not compatable reference this post to your theme dev

theres a couple of edits that need to be made to your framework-res.apk to be fully functional with Bonsai 2.0.1

inside of public.xml you wanna add this at the end of public type="string"

<public type="string" name="reboot" id="0x010404cf" />

public type="string" name="reboot" id="0x010404cf"

in strings.xml you wanna add this at the very end

<string name="reboot">Reboot</string>

string name="reboot" Reboot /string
