Hi all. If anyone is interested in themed Markets I found some really good ones at this link: (they also have facebook, gmail, xda themed)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877510

I have been trying off/on for about a week to get them to work on the Epic and Bonsai ROM by using the OP on that thread and what others have done. It never worked until now, but I finally got them to work by putting the vending.apk from them files into Mammons/Randy's Blue Market edify ZIP. Just for good measure as I am not sure how all that works I changed the name of the Vending.apk to com.android.vending_2.2.7.apk as that is the name in the Bonsai Market ZIP.

So I Uninstalled/Deleted all Market files on my phone except the updater file and then went into Recovery and flashed a stock market file that I modified and then rebooted (without opening the Market), then went to Recovery and flashed the themed market file that I modified. Seems to have finally worked well.

I know this is not Bonsai ROM information, but as a Bonsai ROM user I like to use some themed files such as the Market and thought I would share.

With permission from fernando sor from the above thread, I have posted the files I have edited so others can use and maybe someone can look them over and make sure they are working the best they can for this ROM.

I have only tried the Stock and the Blue Black versions, which worked for me after altering the original file. I altered the rest of them, but did not try them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Bah! Don't say that!

Every phone performs differently; I have quite a few apps installed (IMO), so I wouldn't consider my testing to be a true test of the ROM (on it's own).

With that said, I basically installed all the benchmarks that appealed to me about a week ago or so and figured I'd throw together some results. I also included links to everything so others could do their own testing.

Synthetic benchmarks are never a true representation of anything, but some of us like to see all the numbers

Where cam I get beta? Suong to try it out
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I think that is by invitation to test it..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
I'm thinking the release version 2 should be available very soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dockramer:
I have the same problem with not being able to hear the phone ring and the person on the other end. The person on the other end does not hear me either. This happens frequently. If I hang up and call right back, the call works fine. I've had this issue with ROMs other than Bonsai as well.

Does anyone have a workaround for this?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Toggle the speaker phone on and off when this happens, call will begin to ring.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cfiblc:
Same issues with no being able to hear when a call is originated too. It was happening on ViperROM too. The speaker phone cycle thing does work but I wouldn't expect we should have to do that.

Are you all using aftermarket dialers or the default?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaronow:
I have played with almost every stable dk28 rom on here and while playing with cyanogenmod I stumbled upon a post stating this calling issue was due a sensor bug/issue in this dk28 build and that leaving the phone away from his ear until the call started, as in the call counter gets a second or two registered and then bring the phone up to your ear, has stopped the issue.

I have been doing this since last week and have not had this issue arise again

sensor issue? calls don't get started right aways AND people don't hear me!

Hi, I have a lot of people complaining to me when they're talking to me that they here me on/off that all the sudden they don't hear.. I've noticed that I place the phone away at that point, light turns on, then i speak into the microphone, and they begin to hear...

I'm having this happen a lot .. and people get annoyed by this when talking as a result..

I also have the issue of dialing, and there'd be no ringing.... I'd hang up and re-dial..

but people say how come you're not answering the phone when you're dialing! so sometimes, it rings them, but doesn't get started on my own phone .... as if I'm doing a prank call as a result!

I wish there was a quick fix on this..

So, is this a modem dk28 issue for sure? is this sensor issue? microphone/software-related?

anyone with fix on this, I'd appreciate a recipe ...

thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
I had these issues under DI18. I still have them. My girlfriend has them on a Palm.

We are both on Sprint, so I have just been blaming them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
The work around that has always worked for me is to put the phone on speaker, then back.

(the only time it doesn't work is when the other person has given up)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dralibak:
but is this sensor / software issue? kernel? modem?

would any of the technical guys like to comment on this please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I can confirm the behavior on all of the modem and release versions. Best workaround I have found is to toggle the speaker, but will give the suggestion a try to wait for call to get established.

As for the technicals, I have not seen anywhere within the software controls that we have that we could yet have an impact on this behavior. Still anxiously waiting for Samsung to release Froyo sources.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
This is a dk28 issue not a rom issue.

[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Thanks Randy. After the third wipe, reflash, reformat the SD, the sound is bit better. There are still occurence of skipping or stutter.

My experience has been regardless whether I have my screen on/off, toggle speaker does not help, even put it in aireplane mode and back.

so for me to reduce it, just reflash clean, reformat the SD card, also take SD card out and put it back.., then copied your backup files from SD onto the phone one folder at a times. This reduces about 80% of occurrence since yesterday.

Go figure, I just finished updating all my battery icons and repacking the 1.1.4 theme. Lol. If anyone wants to repack thier theme with a better version of the stock icons, here they are. I shaded them all to match the original icons as much as possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
I may be getting an epic today. Does darktremor apps2sd work on any roms including this one? It would be a make or break deal for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] daryelv:
I don't understand why people insist on A2SD with Froyo, why make something more complicated and prone to issues. These phones have plenty of internal memory and the ability to move applications to SD as needed which is much more flexible than the "all or nothing" of previous A2SD solutions.

Anyways, I have not heard of anyone using Darktremor A2SD on any Epics. If your attitude is still the same as when you had a Hero, please go away. Seriously, go away.

-Daryel
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
just flashed it ontop of the previous rom with theme just so you know it will upgrade you and keep your theme intact ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] stepchap:
Sweet gonna give this a try. Previous version has been great after I Odin'd and flashed it
[Epic 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
Maybe i should get an epic just to visit you more. Anyways im coming from an evo and the darktremor is 10x better than the froyo one. Thanks for making my decision easier.

I'm going to flash 2.0 over top of a Nebula 1.0.6 ext4 install.

I'll report back if there are any issues.

*edit* Ah nevermind, I'm just starting fresh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
hi, is ext4-format_nojournal-1.1.3.zip needed with version 2, and if yes, at which stage and on which cw version do i do it? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
NO the rom will do all the work for you. It evens backups ur apps and restores after the formatting is done.

no apps for me, doing this on clean odin. thanks

will the BThomas22x's A2SD posted in the viper thread work on this rom at all?

anyone else having an issue with the email app? can set up my exchange...
[Epic 4G Android Development] plainbrad:
I keep getting a "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log" error and noting will reboot. It says that B4a2.0 installed correctly but phone will not boot. When I try to do anything else (like recovery) it just gives me that error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Did u try reflashing your rom agin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
This is def a great rom update and very stable. I've been running for around 3days now with no problems. The flashing of this rom is very simple and it does everything for you. One the rom is flashed the kernel patch is included so the clockwork redirector is fixed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plainbrad:
Yep, sits at the samsung screen and doesn't boot (and yes, I've waited and waited). Any attempts flash another rom or recovery gives me the E: error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cruizerfish:
Same here plus the phone wouldn't boot after flashing... recovered to stock then rooted and flashed again... my screen was glitching on reboot but appears ok for now.

EDIT - Phone turned off on its own. Pulled battery and restarted. Up and running.

EDIT2 - Phone vibrated a bunch of times and the screen glitched with ANDROID logo. Turned itself off again! Pulling battery and restarting. :-(

EDIT3 - doing it again. Going back to stock....

Used the leafless ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Anyone else getting "unable to connect to server" when adding an exchange or imap account?

Yeah I'm having the same problem. Know all the settings are correct and nothing is down since I work in the IT dept at my uni.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Well that sucks. Without working email I'll have to convert back to nebula.

I'm flashing back now, I can't be without email tomorrow. Hopefully someone posts if a bug is discovered and fixed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Something similar went wrong for me from the beta to the release. I had to recover from 1.1.4 and then flashed directly over without doing any wipes to get a running version 2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plainbrad:
At least you were able to go back to recovered stock. I get that error and nothing boots.

EDIT: I've Odin'd back to stock and trying again. If this doesn't work, I will just go back to Bonsai 1.1.2 - Everything was fine with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Not sure if you have real issue or not, but for me, i just let it SIT at that flashing screen for a long while. after that, my phone start ok.

the ROM may have updating or creating cache data on first startup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Odin back to dk28 and go forward. Don't let google update your phone and don't use TB to restore any data. Use Backup to gmail from market ($2) to restore sms, mms, and call logs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lawtalking:
I have lost data since flashing 2.0

Update: I rebooted and now it seems to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i used this apk that i found at the forum somewhere(cant remmember where), ive put this in the rom zip, inside system/app and replacde it with the one that the rom came with, bam, my email is back
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
For the record, I believe that you will create a bigger challenge for yourself by going back to stock DK28. If you have installed DK28 at some point in time and are now already running any custom ROM, you should be able to apply this v2.0 without problems. The v2.0 install is completely wiping the phone and is only restoring applications and data from the /data partition.

You may even find that it comes up looking just like it did before you installed v2.0.

Go to Menu->Settings->About and verify that you are running Bonsai4All_Leafless_v2.0.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
sorry for this, i wasnt clear, i dont have any problems with apps, i just wanted to say that i installed this rom on a clean odin, without any apps installed.

the one issue i had is with the email app not working, which few other members said they have a problem too, but i found a solution in the post above yours. thanks for your good work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
What stage of the install process from this doc are you getting hung up? Need to understand better what you have completed and where you hit the snag.

http://code.google.com/p/bonsai/wiki/Install200

After rooting with CWM3, you have to go through the conversion to Ext4 filesystems and at that point, cannot boot the phone until you have installed the v2.0 ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cruizerfish:
4th attempt at flashing this ROM.... sitting at the SAMSUNG screen for a long time.

Back to stock DK28. Rooted with CWM 3.0.0.5. Annoying that it forces a backup and restore of nothing of value to me on first run.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
will this flash ext as well, all at the same time or is that still a second step. i only ask b/c im getting ready to do another phone and not sure if i need to switch to ext4 first or if this will do it all at once.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sean Hicks:
Highest quadrant scores yet. 2.0 installed perfectly, and the phone is running smooth and fast like usual. Nice work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Great ROM so far, only thing I am seeing is it doesn't look like apps are getting zipaligned. I am starting off only 292 mb free.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
Loving 2.0. Another fine ROM, no issues here. Thanks and keep up the great work! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cruizerfish:
Finally success! This time I stocked to DK28 - rooted CWM 3.0.0.5 - boot to CWM let it do its back/restore thingy... popped the MicroSD, inserted into adapter and blew out every folder other than Music, Pictures and Downloads and the new ROM. Insert SD back into device, boot to CWM and flashed with success. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
I re-flashed nebula 1.0.6 and then restored my nebula nandroid backup. I then installed bonsai 2.0.0 and the email is working as it should! In other words, starting from a working/in-use nebula 1.0.6 rom went great.

Previously I had nebula 1.0.6 installed, and went into clockwork and did the data wipe/cache wipe/dalvik wipe, then installed bonsai 2. This resulted in the email program not allowing me to add an account.

The restore appears so far to have worked perfectly. Trillian, my apps, my widgets, everything restored from my nebula rom.

(although I do have to install Silent Boot again...gawd I hate startup sounds lol)

Whats the best way to calibrate the compass? I appear to have completely lost the ability for my phone to know which way it is pointed.

I downloaded Super Compass and did the figure 8 calibration with no effect.

What are you doing after rooting the phone with CWM 3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
http://code.google.com/p/bonsai/wiki/Install200

WOW these are the shortest instructions I have ever seen for a ROM. LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
This rom doesn't convert the file system to ext4. Once you flash cwm3 that converts you to ext4.

Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
This experience highlights an important point.

There is no reason to wipe data, cache, dalvik, etc. In fact this will likely take you backwards.

We've done the work to replace the engine of your phone without impact to the work you have done to personalize your phone and make it work for you.

We stress that you MUST follow the install instructions that you can find in my or Mammon's signature. No wiping, or ODIN back to stock required.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Actually, this ROM install does do the Ext4 conversion as well, so the conversion that CWM3 does is actually redundant and I believe may be making this install more challenging. We might want to consider having people root with a CWM2 root package instead of CWM3.

Just thinking outloud here...
[Epic 4G Android Development] nintendo2010:

[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Must be something wrong with the Clockwork on my phone then, I flashed the zip and just tried to reboot into recovery with ROM Manager and I've been stuck on the Samsung screen for 5 minutes :(

Weird, if the redirect is baked in it works, but if I flash it it doesn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sceptor:
I just want to say I love this rom and cant wait for you to actually do some magic on the kernal. I was very weary of the froyo rom after how crappy it ran on viper's and qauntum was ok but wasnt quite what I wanted.

That being said once you bake in the redirect so it actually works i'll be thrilled because flashing the rom like the guy above me did also didn't work for me.

The startup music isnt really that needed either but the graphic is cool. Theres some great ones for the EVO just wish it wasn't hard to port them over and use them on our phones
[Epic 4G Android Development] sceptor:
didnt work for me and others but thanks for trying
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Clockworkmod redirector will be included in the next release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sceptor:

Hey mammomn is there a way to incorporate app2sd and when its installed just have it auto transition the apps to the sd from the internal?

Lastly are you seeing that issue where inside the phone the contacts button is slightly out of place and greyed out?

Bootanimation... Hands down the coolest
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
Been running this ROM now for about 12 hours. Simply awesome over the leaked DK28 Froyo.

Only had 1 FC with TW.

The boot sequence is real cool.. I wish it was slower to watch all the cool information being displayed. Makes me want to keep rebooting just to check it out.. :D

Overall very clean layout.

Battery seems to be alright, not too bad considering I had a lot worse with stock Froyo.

I do agree the pull down is a bit hard to read transparent. I think thats the only thing I would like to see changed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stayfitted:
I flashed the Gingerbread theme over this. You got a black status and pull down. Just a thought if you don't like the transparent look.

anyways is this rom pre-rooted or will I have to root again after coming from eclair? thx in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Honestly, froyo, period. It's so much more responsive than eclair. The battery life is much better also. The rom is pre-rooted already.

Spare parts is an app that comes with the rom and it contains a bunch of custom settings options, including transition speeds.

Would like to see if you could add in a reboot option to the power menu. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
FYI, the base ROM has a % battery mod in this release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Try install using CWM 2

If anyone is doing this install and the Installation Instructions lead you to ROOT:, could you instead of rooting with CWM3, give the CWM2 root in this post a try, we would appreciate your help to sort this out.

I believe that using CWM2 may avoid the conversion to Ext4 that CWM3 does and instead allow the conversion in the v2.0.0 ROM install to handle that. This may avoid some of the hanging that people are running into when coming from a stock DK28.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
I turned my phone off and let it charge up.

Now I'm being spammed with

"Sorry! The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) as stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

A reboot didn't help, nor did a battery pull.

Now I'm getting random apps spamming these messages include google voice and swype.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Just want to say well done! Love how streamlined it was. Comming from previous rom ext4 using cwm3, no problems with flash or there after. Backup feature is awsome... only quirk was my homescreen widgets in adw showed problem loading widget, not a big deal as this is what happens with titanium restore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
N luck using CWM2. Just tried it. Got stuck on the samsung logo. You haveto run cwm3 prior to install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Just flashed over my existing Bonsai 1.1.4. Worked like a charm. Things are buttery smooth! Quadrant is scoring a bit higher (after last kernal/journal mod had slowed), aprox 2100+.

Backed up and Restored my apps without a hitch.

Good job Mannon88 and Randy_T. I will be sending an other donation soon! After Pay Day :)

That being said if I had to ODIN and come from stock/root, I might be a bit nervous from some of the reports. While I personally enjoyed everything getting backed up and restored, I can see how people coming from a clean install might not wish to do that. Or if for some reason the backup/apps got corrupted it may be hard to install from scratch. So maybe a yes/no option during the flashing process to choose to do a backup would be neat. (Not sure if that is possible or not, just an idea)

But other than them observations, in my honest opinion the best yet! The installation process was so easy and as I said running GREAT!

Thanks!

Oh. And it carried the theme over fine too, for those asking about the theme. I am sure you could flash the theme on this too, if you do not already have it flashed.
