You may have hit on another problem...

I don't have things like CPU tuner, or Advanced Task Killer installed on my phone. They have proven to me that they just cause instability and battery problems.

FWIW, Mammon and I are doing everything in our power to find a balance in the ROM, as we provide it, to give best speed and power consumption. These other tuning apps are not working in your best interest...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
ok cool yea because i have both advanced task killer and set cpu so i will re flash all over from scratch without n test but i love the rom its great just so you know i have no complaints even with it freezing or what not its a minor thing but i think after the reflash all my issues will be solved
[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
I have a question and I hope its not too off topic. I have had Bonsai 1.0.0.4 I believe as my daily driver and I noticed the reception sucks on my phone. my buddies stock Evo can stream video while I am getting no signal at all. Just wondering, is it the modem I am using ? Is there a way for me too bost this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] daryelv:
There are things outside the rom that can affect performance as well. Have you checked the PRL he is using versus yours? The EVO is capable of using different radios from other devices (such as the Incredible) as well as having different version of the radio. Sometimes the "newest" radio would have poorer reception than an older version. He might just have a device better tuned for the area you're in. We're more limited in the Epic area for flashing radios.

6 Axis Sensor not working in this ROM or is it just me?

Other than that, this thing flys but I want my 6 Axis Sensor working so that might be a deal breaker. Nothing goes into landscape anymore unless I slide the keyboard out.

Anyone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Randy, what about the internet problem I mentioned? I sent a cat log showing the errors, does it on 3g and wifi. Different sites as well. Gets stuck like half way loading the pages, the errors pop up in the catlog, then it finishes loading
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
Bonsai still comes with/supports the stock google apps like Gmail and Maps, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeonbuilder:
Yes. That stuff is in the ROM but I seem to be having a problem with the 6 Axis Sensor not working. Hopefully someone will get back to me on that problem. I already reflashed the Bansai4all ROM with no luck so im thinking its not in the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I'm not having any problem with the 6 axis sensor. Was just using it last night when I tried out my new Torque app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
robl,

You are going to need to drop an email to that address again and describe the problem, or better yet, provide another log when it happens along with as much detail as you can provide about what you were doing.

I got about 5 different catlogs yesterday and frankly it is too much effort for me to go back and search through this forum to connect the dots as to what we were talking about. Sorry, my bandwidth is limited.

quick question.....ext4-format_nojournal-1.1.zip formats to ext 4 AND does the nojournal mod correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeonbuilder:
You think I should try to re flash it again? I am using the ext4. I cant even find where to calibrate the sensor anymore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] antpila33:
Just wanted to say this rom is sweet, been using this rom with emotionless beast theme for two days and it is fast, no issues looks beautiful and everything is working great (evn the 4g tethering). Ive flashed just about every rom on this site and im really likin this one...... Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I have had to recalibrate the g sensors every time I flashed a froyo rom, unless I restored data from nandroid backup.

Get a terminal emulator -search for terminal on Market. Type the following:

su

sensorcalibutil_yamaha

After you've typed "su", you'll get a pop-up asking if you want to let the terminal program have root access -just say yes. After starting sensorcalib_util, put your phone on a level table -Press enter. Reboot phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Randy I had the Blue Market you provided a link to. I changed back to the green Market on its own. If I nged around and get out back to blue it changes back to green again after opening it twice. I am assuming it is because a Market update overwriting my Market file. Can confirm this? Does anyone no how to stop it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:

When I'm setting up the Samsung USB drivers on my PC do I need to have my phone connected, or does it not matter?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
First download and install the drivers for the epic and then once completed plug the phone in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
I reported this before and nobody responded, so I am guessing nobody else is having the same problem, but I've already gone through a couple of versions of this ROM and nothing had changed. I figured someone could be experiencing this too.

My 3G speeds never go above 150 kbps. I know, uber slow. Any idea why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeonbuilder:
Sweet... Worked. Guess thats what it needed.

Thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
for anyone that is having internet problems, pages taking awhile to load, I sent my log to Randy who saw what I saw that it is some kind of ad routine that is stopping the pages from loading. I tried Miren browser too as well as the stock one, both were stupid slow in loading the pages, they would load half way and then stop and drink a beer before they finished loading. So I installed Adfree again and now the pages load like they should.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
DON'T SAY THAT!!

Well... on 2nd thought, since I've been wiping it every few days lately, recovering from Sprint making me do a reset isn't a big deal. The only catch is I would have to Odin back to 2.1 bofore I let them get their grubby hands on it! (at least I assume that would be sufficient; right?)

Anyway, I decided I would super-calibrate my battery (I kinda went overboard, but I got it to reach and maintain 100% through reboots. Previously 97% was the best it would hit at the end of a charge.)

Then I reflashed Bonsai. I didn't add ANY apps.

I have been averaging less than 1% per hour throughout the day!

However, I have been using it like you said, Randy, on a solid Wifi and basically just used as a phone (minimal text, no browsing, no widgets, etc). Lots of stand-by time. :(

By comparison it was averaging 10% used the same way since birth (including on this ROM).

Tomorrow I will start slowly adding and using more apps. Hopefully I will find my battery hog that way. (again, following your suggestions, Randy)
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
you really can't judge by wifi. my phone was fine on many roms sitting in my house on wifi. I"m doing better today. got like 12 hours in with 30% left. but thats with 90% of the day sitting on standby, still better than I got before when I had to plug in at work. but geez, my blackberry I could play on all day and not worry about the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
Ok, that being said i am in Colorado. Are there any option I can try..... A different radio etc.... That might work better?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fredknex:
anyone else have data/battery issues?

in comparison to an iphone 3g being used similarly in the same location at the same time,

when my epic hit 68%, the iphone was at 83%.

26% epic, 55% iphone

0% epic, 42% iphone

i couldnt even make it 12 hours with it just sitting in my pocket with juice defender on, while the iphone was being used quite a bit.

Then i Killed data completely, and the percentages stayed equal, and i could even use my phone to text without worrying. At the end of the day I'd even have the iphone slightly beat.

ive tried killing apps and processes, and think the blame is either google voice or some sort of data sleeping problem, coupled with some poor network speed despite decent reception.

but im just guessing.

Try Turning your data off for awhile, the battery lasts almost forever.

Any ideas? I am very new to this and have read a lot getting as much as I could before attempting and I keep gettin stuck here. I am on 2.1 but have DK28 modem on the phone. Kernel Version: 2.6.29. Also, in Rom Manager, it tells me i have CWM 2.5.1.0 when I did the CWM3 walkthrough? Any help please?

Issue with WIFI using Bonzai

I noticed an issue with Wifi turning off when using this ROM. I re-flashed today and am still having the issue. The only way to turn it back on is to reboot the phone.

I was online at work...left my office and when I got to my car Wifi was off and wouldn't turn on. Restarted the phone when I got home and connected to my home router. Left a little while later and noticed after a couple of hours that Wifi had turned off again and I cannot restart it now.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chadit:
I get the samething, wifi settings just say error, reboot and it works again.

[Epic 4G Android Development] gaaspul:
That's your problem...you cannot rename the Bonzai zip file as Update. The Update.zip file was the leaked FROYO last month. Copy the Bonzai file to your sdcard and don't rename it. If you're running Clockworks you should have the option to "install zip from sdcard" in Recovery Mode. Choose that option and it will show you a list of files on your sdcard. Select the Bonzai zip file from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gaaspul:
I just set my phone to Airplane Mode and tried turning Wifi on and it started right away. I turned Airplane Mode off and it's still connected.

I wonder if it's a DK28 modem issue. According to the first post they modified it.

Modified DK28 Kernel (Cooked initramfs)
[Epic 4G Android Development] St13fL3r:
Do I need to load the leaked froyo first? And thanks I will try that as well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] gaaspul:
Not if your Baseband Version is DK28 (Settings > About Phone). If it is DK17 or DK18 you will need to since this ROM only works if you have DK28. The leaked FROYO will update it.

Make sure you do a factory reset before you update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] St13fL3r:
Ok, baseband is showing DK28. Thanks and I'll give this a shot!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrhocuspocus:
I got three questions.

Has anyone figured out a work around for when you call someone and you cant hear it ring or hear them, when they pick up?

Is there a way to make animated gifs on webpages work?

Is it normal for webpages to load really slow even when connected to wifi?

You can odin the dk28 modem file from di18 and then flash any of the custom dk28 roms.

You don't have to flash the no journal idlf you don't want to. It turns journaling off so its not necessary to have. Just do your wipes and flash.

@ randy so yea i reinstalled from stock dk28 everything running smoothly even getting higher quadrant scores then before even without the setcpu installed only thing is battery drain is a lil more then when i had the set cpu on but its not bad at all and im not getting any force closes or anything everything is working and stable
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I'm also in CO.

I'm on PRL 60674. Just tried an update for grins but did not get a new version.

FWIW, I have poured through the system properties on the phone to see if there are things we could adjust. I've not yet run across anything that looks useful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
musclehead is correct that it is not necessary, however, turning off journaling will reduce the amount of disk writes which should help with longevity of the phone as well as reduce power consumption.

IF you are thinking that avoiding installing the no_journal mod will avoid wiping your phone, note that the rom install will wipe your phone as well.

Please follow the link in my signature to the instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
So I believe that you will see better battery life if you flash 1.1.4 and avoid putting all of your apps back on. Set CPU will have no benefit on this phone from a daily use standpoint. Good for cranking up the clocks to drag race, but no practical use IMO. And as I mentioned, Advanced Task Killer made my phone unusable. I suspect I could have spent the time to figure out what apps should and should not be killed, but then I wasn't really having problems with my phone before installing it, so saw no reason to keep it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Would highly recommend that you follow the link in my signature to the install instructions.

To answer you question, you need a DK28 modem on the phone, which means you would have had to install the leaked Froyo at some point. Once you have done that, you do not have to go back to that release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sheltem:
Doesn't Set CPU downclock the processor to 100mhz when the screen is off? Wouldn't that help out with battery life?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
@randy_t i notice my battery is dying much faster now without the setcpu where i was able to scale back when the screen was off now moderate use im at 75% where at this time of the day without charge i would be like more at 89% or 93% or so still
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
The os already does this automatically.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
A note to all with recent battery life issues.

I've noticed that since the new Market update went out a few days ago, there is a new process showing up in Spare Parts under partial wake usage. PID 10035 and PID 10018. One of them has been there all along, but the other is new (I can't remember which one). It seems to be wake locking the phone a good bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Well, I am a bit of a skeptic and here is why...

How is SetCPU setting clock speed for the CPU?

The only way I know of is through knobs available in kernel module. Since there is no source available for the kernel we are running, then I don't think there is a module that is being loaded. It would be interesting to have a look at what is in the SetCPU package to see what they are providing.

We are doing things now that can be controlled through runtime configuration to control i/o behavior and to some degree, cpu time allocation to processes. Until we can actually compile a new kernel, or compile a module against the official kernel, we are stuck with those options.

To you question about if setting the kernel clock speed down when it is idle would save battery, the answer is yes, however if there is not much running on the phone, then fewer processes executed at lower clock rates will have only minimal effect IMO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
That is a great point. I would expect that cpufreq tuning is enabled on this kernel. I've not seen evidence of that, but it exists in Linux and I would expect it exists in this kernel. I could probably go check that in the DI18 kernel...
[Epic 4G Android Development] carlosaf1020:
Anyone know how I can get the themed launcher pro again. The lp widgets were transperant and black. I tried to search but all I get is custom docks and icons but I already have that. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I can support what Randy says here. In my short time experimenting with SetCPU on DK leaks I notice that there was hardly any improvement but making my phone overheat. I don't think that SetCPU is still "100%" available for us using kernel leaks due to the unavailability of the full Froyo source.

I would recommend everyone using it on the Epic 4G and using a leaked kernel ROM to hold off on the usage of SetCPU to further prevent damages to your hardware.

I keep my phone on a charger quit frequently but I decided to see what everyone's talking about. Pulled my phone off the charger with a full battery at 1am last night and with less than usual usage throughout the morning, my battery finally gave out just before 1pm today, barely going a full 12hrs. All I've done this morning is minimal phone calls, moderate text messaging and a half hour of the Sirius app, to listen to Howard Stern. Has anyone found the issue with this power leak/drainer? Battery has never given out this quickly before, but I'm by a power outlet all day, so my only concern is if I go somewhere without having the battery full charged that it'll die on me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I'm in the same boat as you jungle. My battery drain is worse than what it used to be. Spare parts isn't showing anything draining it. It's nit terrible battery life but mine used o be better than my wifes evo and now hers is better.

So far, this is the ROM I keep coming back to. I love it!

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
I too have been obsessing about battery. But, since I re-flashed yesterday morning, and not adding any apps/widgets, I have had an average 1.5% per hour drain with normal use (listening to MIUI via BT hit hard, but that is expected).

Momma or Randy,

In 1.0.2 one of things removed was the "Sprint DRM spy service" and in 1.0.4 you applied a fix from Dameon87.

However there are still 2 services/apks in the ROM (drmUa.apk and sisodrmprovider.apk), which http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794010, insists need to be removed too.

Is the thread wrong?
