Also worth noting, I *think* if you don't launch Gallery, use the camera, upload/share a photo or use anything that has to do with photos, it doesn't act up.

I'm going on 3 hours now and the battery has barely drained, and I've been using it more in the past few hours than I have the past few days.

I have downloaded and installed Gallery 3D from the Market to see if it's the app itself or something else, like the way its integrated into the ROM, or perhaps an error during flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
What else might be affected by gallery being removed, like wallpaper adjustment? Otherwise great suggestion, the app had rave reviews on the market so I will try and see if it helps with battery too!

[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
It doesn't really affect anything I could find. I just didn't have a shortcut to view my photos. I could still go into the camera and access pics that way, or even view them by selecting then in a file manager.

I wasn't suggesting to remove it as a permanent solution, just as troubleshooting method.

Also note, I reinstalled it from the Market and all seems to be going well....so far. Again, too early to tell.

I had flashed the ASOP lock screen and the 2.3 pack from the guy in the Themes section who does the gingerbread theme.

I re-flashed 2.0.1 and didn't re-flash the 2.3 theme stuff, issue has gone away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, so it looks like it was something in the theme

My experience is the same. No issues with Gallery until I used the camera and took some pictures, now Gallery pins the CPU after boot, phone gets hour even if asleep, and drains the battery like a starving Ethiopian with a quart of milk. Makes Watchdog crazy.

I also am having some strange issue with "Security Storage", which can't be killed. It runs at 25-35% all the time.

I really like this ROM, and hope this can be resolved.

I've been trying to recreate the issue on my phone and I can't duplicate it. We also never saw this occur in beta either. Have the people who are experienceing this adding it to the issues log so the devs can track it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I've been running Bonsai with the latest GB theme and I can't recreate this issue. However, I'm not using the AOSP lock-screen or any add-ons. The theme itself does not contain anything that adds a different gallery or theme it i any way, but there is an add-on pack that does. Did you use the add-on pack?

Edit: Scratch that, I just recreated it. Once you open the Gallery, or use anything that does(Camera), it keeps running in the background. The sensor usage is the accelerometer, which the Gallery does use, but for whatever reason it stays active when you exit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I can't either. I've tried and I dl watchdog and.everything is running normal.

Hey guys I flashed this ROM on my gf's new Epic after rooting it. In CWM the install went fine and now it has been on the SamsungMobile boot up screen for about ten minutes. I know the ROM converts your entire system to EXT4 so I am assuming this is the reason for the wait. How long should I wait before being concerned I'm stuck on the Samsung bootup screen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Shouldn't take that long.... exactly how did you flash it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SeanFloyd:
I booted into Recovery Mode after installing CWM and chose the install ZIP from SD Card option and chose the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You're on CWM 3.0.0.5?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SeanFloyd:
No 2.5.1.0. ****, did I mess something up?
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
Ive been trying to recreate it also. Im running the GB theme and ive used the camera ALOT in the last few days.. Still getting about 14 hours on moderate low use with texting ALL day. Il leave gallery on for a bit..maybe go in and rotate images and play with it. Ive used gallery and gone from the camera app into it and had no problems...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, you'll need to flash 3.0.0.5, which can be found here :D Then, when it's done converting your files to EXT4, you flash the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SeanFloyd:
so since it's stuck on this screen, I know I can enter recovery but how would you recommend going back to stock? sorry new to this phone, appreciate your help
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Yes, but if you check Sensor usage in the battery history you will see that the Gallery is continuing to use the sensors even after exiting the Gallery. I'm not sure how much battery this is consuming as I've had great battery life, but it is a bug.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem :) Yes, I'd either restore the nandroid you made before flashing to rom or I'd ODIN to stock DK28
[Epic 4G Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Ok word, gonna Odin. Will let you know when everything is biscuits and gravy.

Cool cool, let me know how it goes!
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
I'm feeling extremely noobish at the moment, has anyone gotten the AOSP lock to work? It seems like all the flashable zips put my phone into a boot loop with the bonzai boot screen and endless vibration, same with the gingerbread theme
[Epic 4G Android Development] caspertodd:
My battery was draining at a rate of 15% per hour with no usage. I remove gallery off of my phone, and now it is draining at a rate of about 2% per hour with a little usage. Now that's more like it! Installed Quickpic, and like it much better than the Gallery 3D app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It's not the theme, I've been able to recreate it with and without themes.

I've been able to recreate this with both Mammon's Gallery and the stock dk28 Gallery. If no one else has already reported it in the issues log, I will now. As I stated before, my battery life has been good so I'm not sure how much impact this really has on it. Just to reiterate, opening the gallery or any other app that uses it, causes the sensors to peg in battery history. Even after killing the Gallery process, the accelerometer continues to peg sensor usage. I haven't noticed this in other ROM's, but I never really looked for it. It could be a dk28 issue across the board.

Edit: Before I report this in the issue log I would like to first confirm this error does not exist in other dk28 ROM's. I've noticed there are already a few issues reported there that are not specific to this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
Well the new GB theme works fine for Almost everyone after the small fix...The AOSP lock i dont know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skee/07088:
Peace, flashers....

i noticed the Bonsai rom updated to 2.0.1....

so i flashed it and got nothing pass the 1st boot screen.

so i odin'd back to stock dk28, then ran the .bat file for cwm 3.0.0.5 and flashed it again, now the word android is displayed across my screen while it boots up. after the media scan completes, it jus vibrates and reboots by itself???? pulled the battery, same result.

now im back on Bonsai 2.0.0. and all is well..any help with getting the updated version on board?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
When you get the android flashing over the stock boot just reflash the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
If you have CWM 3.0.0.5 installed, all you need to do is re-flash Bonsai 2.0.1. If you made a Nandroid backup before you tried to flash 2.0.1 the first time, then do an advanced data restore first so your data will be migrated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
It worked perfectly for me on 2.0.0. On 2.0.1 I have had a couple of issues, including boot loops, that resulted in me flashing back to stock 2.0.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckenheimer:
The newest Bonzai ROM is still plagued with the power button mishaviour. What's the fix and will it be coming soon.

Only real niggle I see so far
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Can you elaborate. The power button works fine for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skee/07088:
ok...thx guys..will do.

also, being that i reverted back 2.0.0...ima give it an hour or so and cee if i cee a difference with the battery drain with quick pic instead of gallery...

but ima definitely reflash everything like u guys suggested after this lil trial is done...good lookin out

Update: again, thx for every1s patience, I just followed the instructions, step by step and got it up now. Web is faster, "real lean"...if I cud make the same clarification on android
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Where did you download 2.0 from? I only see 1.14 and 2.01
[Epic 4G Android Development] skee/07088:

[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
No problems here......

As far as all the people with battery drain from the gallery/camera/sensor.

For giggles I used my Camera and can confirm that after using the Camera if I look in Spare Parts that my Sensor Usage for Gallery and Android System continue to run (I think it is normal for the Android System be showing though). I can't confirm the battery drain though.

My phone won't mount as a storage device anymore since I installed Bonsai 2.0.1. My computer just tells me the device is not recognized. I tried reinstalling drivers but nothing changed. Anyone else had this problem and have a fix? It was working just fine before this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
Just wanted to post some issues I have been having maybe its my phone who knows.

1. I am having random reboots, and occasionally freezing where the phone won't wake out of standby. I have to pull the battery to get it to reboot (it has done this on other roms, I think its hardware related or something have to exchange it soon). But it does seem to happen way more frequently the longer I am running bonsai. Like first few weeks its great, then slowly I get more and more issues.

2. I been having a ton of issues with text messaging. At first it seemed like when a thread gets big I would have issues with the phone, like freezing, reboots, and sometimes the messaging app would crash. Then I decided to try out Go SMS thinking it was from the default messaging app.

However this didn't change anything, the phone seemed to not lag when I had a big thread. But I still was getting the force closing of the messaging process. At one point it even crashed so hard it erased all my messages. So then I started just setting them to a 400 thread limit, this resolved it for awhile.. Till I got a next and every time I tried to reply to the message I would get go sms force closing. And if I loaded up the default messaging app it would just force close instantly.

So yeah ugh I ran clockwork wiped everything and now I can send text messages again...

Anyways I appreciate all your work on this rom, I am not trying to bash anything just telling you my experience. Hopefully its unique to myself lol.

Yep, same thing happened to me today also. Had to hop over to my wifi to finish it off rather quickly, cause it tried to install 32 app's at one time. After going WIFI it finished rather quickly compared to what it was doing on 3g (of course). Is this what happens when we decide to back up our data with google now?

[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
Did you install a theme or something that included a different version of gmail? Is there an update available in the market?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Yes, backing up data to google does cause app restore. The simply way to turn it off is skip google login and goto settings>Privacy. Enable "back up my data", disable "automatic restore" then disable "Back up my data".

If you've had this problem with many other roms, you may have a faulty phone.

I use chomp SMS and I have no problems what so ever.

Another issue could be how many roms have you installed and how much leftover crud is on that phone before you installed Bonsai. Also too, how many of those problems have you had BEFORE Bonsai?

Bonsai was the FIRST ROM I ever installed on my phone besides the standard Froyo release that was on here. It was extremely smooth when installing except for the normal samsung freeze, but it converted to ext4, backed up and restored EVERYTHING. It basically looked like it was before I even flashed it. I played with it extensively and I have no FCs. I've been on this ROM for about 2 weeks.

I have 0 problems on this ROM so far. Battery is great, no FC's, etc. The only problem I have and it is either Sprint or DK28 in general is that my data speeds SUCK. So bad that if it doesn't get any better after the 21st when they release the TRUE update, this phone is going back to Sprint and i'm changing carriers.

This was posted a few weeks back but was never resolved as far I can see. I get force closes on the camcorder when recording on normal setting. Doesn't seem to matter what quality I use and it's intermittent, which makes it difficult to pin down exactly what's going on. Haven't had any FCs on the limit for MMS setting, but the video quality is trash and I can only record for 50 seconds. Anyone have an idea what could be the issue?

Edit- additional info: It only records for 5-8 seconds before saying the recording failed. The portion that was recorded up until the failure is saved on my sdcard as well.

In reply to some of these battery issues being talked about, I was going to voice my own. I seem to have AWESOME battery life after first flashing the rom. both with 2.0 and 2.0.1 but after a few days to a week it seems to decline. No real hard proof of anything that I could find just a feeling. I also noticed that my sensor usage did seem to be tied to my gallery having been opened. I had about 4 hours of the gallery of "use" in spare parts after having only been unplugged for 8ish. I uninstalled it using titanium and am trying out quickpic. One odd quirk that happened...just after i removed gallery and installed quickpic, I restarted and went from ~65% battery to %34 after the reboot.

A unrelated battery thought; I work in what amounts to a metal shell. I get about 1 bar on average of signal. That, compared to my 4-5bars at home of signal seems to GREATLY affect my battery life. On the weekends I can easily go more then a day, at work, it struggles to make it through.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
My battery does that, too. When it does that, I power down, yank the battery for a minute or two then power it back it. Sometimes it says full at 80 percent even. I don't really have an explanation for it, it seem random. I can say, I ALWAYS flash on a full battery.....even run it down to 0 and back up to 100 percent and reset the stats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
Some people will tell you to flash right over it. Personally, I backup in cwm. Then, wipe data, cache and davlik cache 2x-3x each. Then, I flash the new rom. If you really want to go over the top though, you could backup in cwm, ODIN to stock dk28, reroot and install cwm3, then flash this rom.

2 major bugs ive experienced:

phone will not wake up under certain circumstances, seems like it is stuck in a loop and the only way to gain access to the phone again is to pull the battery, when the phone restarts you can see the batter has been severely drained. Im not sure how to reproduce this.

Dailer becomes slow and never turns on mic or speaker during a voicecall, even after pressing speaker phone button in call. When this happened I was playing with my speed dails and canceled about 4 calls in a row, when someone called me and the problem started. I have not tried to reproduce this, but I had to restart the phone to fix it.
