That's the only question I had about the new release, everything else does seem very well documented and explained on the install page and here - which is the main reason I'm surprised you guys sperg out so quickly over user questions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I agree with.masterqu. I misinterpreted your question as well. I wasn't trying to single anyone out I was just saying. I do apologize if you felt that way.

It is finally working for me now using adb instruction. in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9612878&postcount=2

Note: you SHOULD have backup. I'm just saying after causing so many FC :)

Thanks everyone trying to help me.

To fix the sms log issue you can:

(Note: the logsupdate.zip does not work due to its format not compatible with CWM 3.0.0.5)

1. use the adb as posted above with the apk and reboot.

2. or use what mattallica76 has posted with Root Explorer. I tried with Super Manager but it does not work. it may be just me.

3. or just wait for update :)

Rock on Bonsai!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Congrats, I'm glad you got it.

You should have mentioned the zip wasn't CWM 3.0.0.5 compatible (maybe you did and I missed it).

You could have used my amend2edify conversion tool.

I've attached a logsupdate.zip that I converted with my tool.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
To make sure we all understand if we use the updated zip from nubcoder we simply dl and install through cwm and this fixes the issue?

As long as the original zip worked to begin with, the file I attached above, should now work in CWM3.

I installed the apk manually, so I can't say anything about the zip (other than it has now been converted to edify).

I just tried the logsupdate.zip. Seemed to work ok for me.

just flashed v2 coming from a fresh odin.phones stuck at a boot loop.it vibrates 2-3 times for 3 times.n samsung screen comes on again n does same thing over
[Epic 4G Android Development] humdrum2009:
Same problem here

Fresh Odin back to dk28 everything works fine

When i try v2 i get random reboots, and it freezes and restarts then freezes and vibrates 2-3 times also.

I also see 2 boot animations upon startup the sprint 4g logo and an android logo that is grey.

Someone tell me what is going on if you can love this ROM:confused: but its giving me issues.

I can't see any image through the gallery. Not even images that I have taken with the camera since installing v2.0. If I press the preview option in the camera app, then I can preview them, but they do not appear in the gallery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
...or, I did everything correct and everything works perfect. haven't had one fc or lag or glitch or any problem whatsoever. battery life is flawless. flashed when full, calibrated, then charged to full again. yesterday, after school (about 7 hours of moderate usage) I got home with 65 left.

is there a fix in the works for pandora?
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
sorry if this has been asked, but is there a theme for 2.0, or will 1.4 work
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
1.1.4 theme should work, or pretty much any other theme that you can flash with cwm 3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] humdrum2009:
work around

Did it this way after Odin flashing didn't resolve problem.

Odin back to dk28 stock

rooted with CWM 3

flashed supernova ROM 1.6

then flashed bonsai for all no errors of any kind

it has something to do with coming from a dual ROM, RFS/EXT 4 that gets screwed up.

i tried it twice from a dual ROM got the same effect fc's rebooting freezing.

when i flashed from ext4 ROM only it all went away period.

no errors no fc's no reboots or vibrations:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I have not used Pandora since I started using dk28 based ROMs. I just installed it and can confirm that it FC if Bluetooth is enabled at startup. If I disable Bluetooth, Pandora will start and work fine, even if I re-enable Bluetooth. Not sure if this behavior was present on any other dk28 ROMs as this is my first time using it in a while.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
im playing catch up. Why did u flash another rom before bonsai4all with a fresh system? To me thats a very uneeded step.

sent from my emotionless Bonzai

My understanding is that the issue with pandora is a dk28 issue and not rom specific. Hopefully if they big boys ever get back into the game and give us what was promised this will be fixed.

Many people have had problems coming to bonsai from a fresh system. That is not something they tested and it has shown to have some issues. It works best coming from an ext4 system to v2.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] MyRCode:
Just switched over from Epic Experience...

Totally my fault because I didn't read the directions very carefully. I wasn't running Clockworks 3.0.0.5. Ended up getting stuck on the Samsung screen after reboot and couldn't do anything.

Ended up having to Odin back to stock DK28, re-rooted with Clockworks 3.0.0.5 and re-installed Bonsai, then restored data with Titanium Backup. Everything seems to be working fine now.

Looking forward to future updates!

[Epic 4G Android Development] :
flashed this on a co workers device coming from stock. did one flash, and the boot screen jacked up, force closes, crap didnt work. did 3x wipe (front to back) and reflashed rom. everything works seamlessly. just a fyi
[Epic 4G Android Development] daryelv:
Seems like anyone having issues coming from stock or freshly installing CWM3.0.0.5 should flash the ROM twice.

Maybe just put in the instructions or in a troubleshooting faq section...

"If after the flash finishes and the phone reboot takes 10+ minutes, reboot back into CWM using three finger (hold vol-down, camera, power all at once) and reflash the ROM (no wipe required). "

-Daryel
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Thats not entirely correct. I personally tested coming out of fresh eclair to 2.0 and never had an issue. But after installing DK28 I rooted and installed CWM3 when I did this. One issue we have is people not installing a high enough CWM that supports ext4 before flashing 2.0. Despite our best efforts to make sure we had the install direction written correctly we originally wrote cwm2. This has been corrected and now reflects 2.5.1.2 .

Heres where we missed the mark imho. We did not /could not consider the people using cwm 2.5.1.2 and who did not convert to a ext format or fragmentation that had occured between developer roms. If I understand the one giving the most headache is Nebula Rom. I could be mistaken on this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] babryan:
Not showing up at all. The are at /sdcard/DCIM/Camera

BTW, I flashed Supernova 1.6 and have the same problem. Looks like something to do with ext4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aal1:
I had the same problem with my wife's epic as MyRCode did....she had an old CW 2.5.1 and not 3 on it and it stuck it to the Samsung boot screen. Then wasnt able to ODIN it back to stock, it kept sticking at the .fs files. Finally, I did the modem separate, then the stock file with no PIT uysing ODIN 1.3 and got it back to stock. Then CW3.

After that, I had to load the Bonsai 2.0 ROM two times to get it to "stick" - first time it was some hybrid of the base DK28 image and some of Bonsai stuff - animation was wrong, etc.

After the second load, it looked Bonsai-ish )) Then dropped the leaf theme from 1.4 on it and its running fine.

+1 to keep doing leaf themes too ! The leaf themes ROCK!

My phone was already on 1.1.4 so it just loaded over no problems, except still needing the leaf theme. Real nice that I didnt have to reload my apps, that was cool.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
After getting Bonsai finally up and running I am having GPS problems. I am getting no lock at all. The above did not help. May I ask how I can reflash the DK28 modem only? All I have is the big tar file. Is there a modem.bin somewhere? I can not locate one.

thanks

edit: I have the modem.tar that came with Odin. Having trouble finding the DK28 modem.bin and wondering where to put it once I find it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
Damn! This went well!

(yes, I backed-up, JIC)

The whole process, from 3 finger salute to Bonsai startup screen took less than 6 minutes!

The white Epic screen was there for over a minute, the first time; now it takes less than 30 seconds. IMHO, it is very nice not having the black screen.

It did not restore my theme (Frozen Emotionless Beast v.09), but that's no big deal, because...

It restored all my widgets, SMS, call log and....EVERYTHING ELSE!! Sweet!

Benchmarks are comparable to 1.1.4, no differences worth mentioning.

Smartbench: PI ~1100, GI ~2600-2700

Linpack: ~14 mflops

Quadrant: ~2050

RL: ~28.9 seconds (compared to 2.1 this is INSANE!!)

There is NO browser lag,

without

Adfree.

(I tested: stock, x-scope, Dolphin-HD, Opera Mini, Miren, Firefox & Skyfire)

There is NO rotation lag.

Subjectively, things just feel snappier!

Since people have had issues with the call log, I should mention that the stock log shows all conversations, calls and SMS. FWIW, the settings don't have the option to show otherwise. However, I cannot speak to the behavior on 1.1.4 or even stock, because I use DialerOne for my phone operations.

Put simply, I LOVE THIS ROM!!!

Thank you Momma88, Randy_T and beta testers!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I have never had this problem. I will have to try it today with new rom.

Update. Yes I can confirm too. With bluetooth enabeled it pandora will lock up and FC. I dont think it's DK28. I always enable bluetooth first and have never had this problem until Bonsai 2.0.

FYI, works ok with Slacker
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
If you did the rotation lag fix on your previous ROM, it will carry over into the new Bonsai install.

wifi won't obtain ip address

Thanks in advance to all who provide/assist people like me!

I have done a search ("wifi") and have come up empty so I will post. Installed v2.0 without a hitch and all works perfectly. My only issue is that I can not get my Epic to connect to my router...security is set with WEP. I have rebooted both phone and router, and continue to get have problem. Phone is stuck at "obtaining an IP address" but it never does. My other wireless devices do not have this problem so I guess that removes the problem being my router.

I came from Epic Experience rom, and installed CWM 3.0 to get the new ext4 system. Again, all went great except for this one issue. Thoughts?

Thanks again to all....Bonsai rocks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MyRCode:
I'm also having the same problem with Pandora FC when bluetooth is enabled. Disabled bluetooth, and pandora loads fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zetterwing:
Finally couldn't wait any longer and flashed Bonsai. Awesome job. I did have one little hiccup...instructions aren't idiot proof...as this idiot found. Flashed cwm3 and then flashed Bonsai 2.0 per instructions. Whoops no DK28 modem=no service and airplane mode freak out. Grabbed the signed dk28 modem update and flashed and no problems since. So far I am loving this rom. Wish I would have made the jump sooner. Thanks for all your hard work on this.

Still no luck on GPS lock for me. I reflashed the DK28 modem I had and it didn't do anything. Tried again resetting AGPS, nothing. Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TurboFool:
Not seeing a changelog for 2.0. Outside of doing the backup and EXT4 formatting and such for you, any other differences? I only just switched to Bonsai (1.1.4) for the first time a few days ago and I've never been happier with my phone. If the only change is the install process I'll stick with that for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
That is incorrect as I did that during beta testing and reported that. Yes it does have issues, but not insurmountable if you use some common sense. See my post a while back...if you don't understand the issues then

don't do it

[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Power down. Remove battery. Wait a few seconds and press and release power button. Put battery back in and boot. The problem is a gps hardware cache and is a common problem in all epic's.

[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
I finally got it...odin'd to DK28. Rooted but then I found out the root method in the stickies but the old CWM back on.. I found the CWM3 and put it on. Had to flash twice though. Thought that was weird. Works great now!

Another step that I think is a must is people need to test the zip file with an archive program from their phone once it is copied. I have seen too many times to count where a zip was corrupted by downloading it over 3g or 4g. Always verify it before flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
thank you for the reply. Unfortunately that did not help. AGPS works, but GPS no. Tried getting a lock using GPS status, GPS test, and Maps.

New Instability since 1.1.4

I've been having some problems with Bonsai4All since V1.1.4 Nothing dramatic, but every once in a while (especially while multitasking and turning on/off radios) the system starts to slow down and get really sluggish, sometimes even becoming unresponsive and having to be forcibly rebooted (battery removal). There is also an intermittent stutter that is very incongruous to the rest of this extremely fast ROM. I suspect it's due to the new libdvm.so, as I had similar things happen when I tried XJMan's alterations. They make the system slightly faster, but also much more unstable IMHO. Am trying reverted files and seeing if it stops the instability.
[Epic 4G Android Development] emtaboy:
Well...with help of google, solved!! Here is the solution:

Must obviously have root. Delete file /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list and /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.lease. I also renamed "dhcpcd-eth0.pid" and "dhcpcd-uwbr0.lease" to .bak files as while I found nothing on google that said to touch these files, without renaming them, the fix would not work.

Also, deleted /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf.

Note: I downloaded from market an app called "Super Manager"...it was the only file manager that allowed me to see the files within the /data/misc/dhcp folder. Astro and other file managers would not see these files.

In any case, after deleting the three files above and renaming two other files in the /data/misc/dhcp folder, I rebooted, turned wifi back on and it worked! From what I read, problem related to android trying to get same ip address back from router and router not liking this request. I guess since Bonsai installation puts everything back, new install did not play nice with old data. I guess I'm a bit surprised that I am only one (at least on this thread) with this problem.

In any case, hope that helps someone who may be experiencing the same!:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Thanks for sharing the solution.

Doesn't make much sense to me that the dhcp client on the phone would insist on having the same IP address it had the lease on. Seems to be a client/master problem here...

I have very long lease times on my home network, so I probably have not been bitten for that reason...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
To be honest, it would be more interesting to us whether you have the same problem on v2.0. IF you find problems on v1.1.4, our suggestion will be to upgrade.

If you are on v1.1.4, the upgrade will be painless and has a number of additional benefits.

wifi tether stuck at connecting

I searched but did not see anyone with this issue:

My computers finds the phone hosting wifi just fine, but when I try to connect the computer just get stuck on connecting and times out.

I have tried it with both encryption and open.

I have tried ver 2.06, 2.05 and 2.05pre12 with the same results.

Same results when I tried Barnacle too.

Thanks

PS Great ROM. Smoothest I have run so far!!! Only issue I have is this wifi tether issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
thanks, that was going to be my next move. But, I ended up going the 'old fashion' route. Full Odin to DI18, get a GPS lock, shut down. Then full Odin to DK28. Double check I still have a lock. A CWM3 root, then Bonsai and I am good now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thesawolf:
Barnacle works fine for me on Bonsai 2.0. Just make sure you don't have anything selected in Custom Wifi Ad-hoc, and that you have "Skip wpa_supplicant" checked and should work fine.

YouTube FC's

First, I want to thank Mammon, Randy and testers. v2.0 is by far the best and easiest ROM I have installed to date!

I have just tried the YouTube app and I keep getting FC's. I looked through the forums, google, etc and cannot get this to work. Previously on Bonsai1.1.3 and it was working.

Also thanks for the sharing the solution! I've ran into this issue at my home when I set up static DHCP addresses to the mac ID on two Epics. They kept getting the same IP they had before and they would not use the one the router was trying to give it. Not sure why they decided to use this type of DHCP.

The Subway sandwich shop across the street from my job has issues with this...it will work one time after I do a wipe, but the next day the Wifi just never obtains and IP. Glad I know how to fix it now. Kinda dumb that it doesn't use the IP the router tries to give it.

wifi theter and battey issue with the bansai 2.0

Actually, quite honestly, I don't see how everyone is so happy with the battery life! mine is like draining like a open faucet! I have turned off just about all processes, and wiped off all cache, literally have taken down the brightness to absolute lowest, shut off wifi, blue tooth, and even 4G signal...

looked at what was being the most battery using item, and it was screen display...

But still it just drains REALLY quickly!

I don't know what else to do...

1.14 seemed to have slightly less drainage as I saw it on my phone.

I have installed bonsai twice to make sure (OVER the ext4 and over 1.14).

ABOUT WIFI theter...

it does work, but it's just soooo slow of connection?

I thought all the sprint filters have been removed in bonsai?

so why is it that although there's enough signal there's slow connection (tried in multiple laptops). .. should 4G work for tethering purpuses?

Lastly, is there anyway to get 4G out of this "idle" mode?

And yes, I have uninstalled/reinstalled with no luck.

Thanks for your responses and time. This is not pressing for me so feel free to move forward with your devs, keep them coming :cool:

Why is it McDonalds’ feels compelled to put the straw for my drink in the bag and not hand it to me with the drink? I mean seriously folks, they hand me the drink then shut the door while they get my food ready, leaving me with this wonderful ice chilled fountain poured beverage that will sooo quench my thirst in the best possible way. But NOOOO they have to make me suffer for an additional 2-3 minutes while I hold it unable to get to the sweet nectar that is cradled by the wax and paper cup. And then when my food bag finally does come the straw that I desperately need is crammed at the bottom of the bag under burgers and fries and ketchup packs that I never use! And of course the guy behind me is beeping his horn to get out of his way while I’m trying to get the device that will convey my prize to my mouth. JEEBUS!
