Bonzai 1.1.3 Testing

Testing of this ROM was preformed on a freshly flashed Epic and formatted stock SD card. Started with Eclair then flashed to DK28 Modem. Added CW 3.0.0.5 then flashed ROM.

Added Quadrant, Linpack, GPS Test, Speed Test and terminal emulator for testing purposes. Also added speedx game for graphics/battery testing.

All tests (except battery) are ran 5 times for consistency. Average of tests are posted for results.

*Battery Test Results are based off of 90 Mins of active usage including navigation, phone calls, video, game play and data use plus 90 Mins of standby.

Baseline results:

Linpack: 14.026

Quadrant: 1676

Data Transfer:

Wifi: 12.63Mbps/3.59Mbps

4G: 3.16 Mbps/.55Mbps

3G: 0.8 Mbps/ .49Mbps

Battery: Re-Testing

Starting Percentage: 90%

Ending Percentage:67%

Estimated Battery Life: <13.16 Hours

Performance Test:

Other Notes/ Impressions:

I originally started running the tests after upgrading the ext4 from the 2.5 method then upgrading to the cw 3.0.0.5. My scores were low and my phone seemed to visually lag dispite score results. So I decided to better standardize my testing methods (seen above). Initial impressions of the rom since starting fresh is no issues, better performance and the lag seems to have disappeared. I am still in the middle of the testing but wanted to mention this in case others were seeing the same thing. Also I took out my class 6 sd card and am now using the stock class 2 card for test standardization.

*Decided to check the error code 6. (Hence needing to redo the bat test.) When trying .ext4 journal mod I also get the error 6 code. I think the error occurs when user does not have an active partition on SD card. Switched cards to one already partitioned and attempted journal mod install and had no errors. Don't know if its just me or what

**Experienceing intermitant loss of GPS signal using navigation, using standard google nav. Also having issue with getting update for google maps, working on this now. I've seen this before on other roms pre ext4, so i do not think its directly related. i will reflash dk28 modem to see if this resolves.

Sprint Apps?

Thank you so much for this awesome ROM! It is working great. I was wondering if Sprint apps can be added somehow, like the .zips with Quantum.

Thanks again.

MasterQu, after you loaded CW3, did you fresh-flash and wipe the phone and completely wipe the SD card ?

Also, did you move or activate swap on the sd card ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sneezy316:
Tried it

Yup, I used those files. It worked when I was on Quantum 2.7.

But would be nice if it works in Bonzai as well.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] aal1:
so has anyone done bonsai 1.13 / cw3 / class 6+ sd card / ext4 / mammons ext4 fix / daemons fix / a2sd swap command to activate swap

I think I would like to setup the swap but I wanted to get some advice first, install steps, size, etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Did a 3x3 before loading 1.1.3 but no I did not rewipe the sd card. The only thing not stock or installed from rom on the sd is the .zip for bonzai. Unless cw3 activates swap I did not. I let the apps load where the dev pointedthen to however all apps I installed did goto sd. I did forget to write it down but I was somewhere around 385 mb avail on internal mem after fresh install. The purpose of the tests is to see what happens before I monkey with anything. This way we see only what the dev did (in theory)
[Epic 4G Android Development] aal1:
ah ok. I dropped a fresh 16gb wintec class10 card into the device, copied the files there, flashed CW3, wiped everything including the card, moved the bonsai files there, then installed .3. Didnt move cache or anything and am getting error 6 every time I try and install ext4 mod. Cant install daemons either, same error 6. Root seems to be evident though, so Im not sure why its not working. Thinking about re-rooting - does ZD4 root work on ext4 ?

oh and internet is SICK - 1632 down, 1150 up - average over 5 tests

signal is crazy good as well.

bleh gps though is stuck at 1k meters, then cleaned up to within 90 meters, but that was in the middle of a 20story building. I came from Green Lantern rom, which is a bake of Mammons 1.04 and it was down to 4meters in same location.

However, phone strength is WAY better in the same exact spot. like 65% better.

YAY!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Rom is running great for me. This is the first rom that I have been able to get gps to work in maps 5.0. Thanks Mammon
[Epic 4G Android Development] platan78:
I also don't use quick boot. I went back to my 1.0.4 nand back up since I havent seen a solution yet.

Is CWM3 and ext 4 required for this rom update (1.1.3)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
Sweet! First time rooter here. 1st ROM is Bonzai. Very excited, so far so good. How do I know I am running EXT4? or do I have to do the mod?

***I just ran a quadrant test and I scored a 1588. So I assume it is running EXT4 then, right?

Problems Please help

i am just trying to figure out if anybody is paying attention to this problem cause i just rebooted again and my apps are gone and this time when i rebooted the apps they were not on the app market like last time so now i have to a titanium back up of my phone or a data restore I NOTICED the only apps that stay on the phone are the ones that are on the SD card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Nope, it is not

Disappearing Apps

Finally, someone with the same issue. I have been searching this thread for a while to see if I was doing something wrong. I also have disappearing apps. I don't use app2SD but I noticed that apps that get installed after the flash, get erased after a reboot.

I notice that after booting, the screen goes black and the buttons light up for at least a minute and the phone remains unresponsive. After that, I go in and the apps are gone.

Anyone else notice this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KaL-EL3038:
yeah ive been posting this problem since like 3 days ago and nothing and some people before me too...and nobody has payed att to this problem i am not trying to be a stickler but this a huge thing i think....and yes the black screen i have experienced but on 1.04 not this build...on my the sprint screen stays on for a while then vibrates and shuts down

EDIT. i also dont have apps2sd it just does some automatically and those are the ones that are only there

I seem to have deleted the wallpapers that came with this Rom. Can someone upload or email the wallpaper that shows a tent lit at night under the sky? thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Rom is blazing fast!

Anyone else having any problems updating profile or prl? I cannt do either. Not sure it is rom related. I havnt been able to update either since I moved to EXT4, as far as I can tell.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Wow..3 days, I'm really sorry about that. If anyone ever has a problem and has not been addressed please PM me.

Any chance you know how to use logcat? Which rom did you come from before bonsai? Did you do any kind of restoring? And did you flash ext4 mod I created, if so were you on clockworks mod 3.0.0.5? Have you odin back to stock , rooted, and reinstall bonsai yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ghostrid3r:
I believe this problem might be caused by Titanium backup when performing a restore of a previously backed up rom. To verify the issue, please wipe/reflash desired rom, SKIP Titanium backup restore, and manually reinstall apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
real quick, we havent got the journal mod working well on CW 3.5 and B 1.3 right ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
As far as I can tell, from the thread, no. Cannt get a official answer on this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ahow628:
Ugh. Upgraded from 1.0.4 to 1.1.3 and I'm getting some nasty boot loops despite wiping cache, Dalvik, and data.

A weird thing does happen though: when attempting to wipe Dalvik, it throws an error "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (No such file our directory)" before I confirm the wipe. After confirming, it says the standard "Dalvik cache wiped."

Any ideas?

[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Hows the mod coming along Mammon, if you don't mind me asking?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hexatron:
With the whole apps disappearing thing after reboot, I had the same prob, I reinstalled like 6 times trying different configurations. What I believe was causing the problem was backup restores. Either from mybackup pro or from titanium. I tried both and both were giving me the same prob with the missing progs after a restart. After realizing it was taking as much time to restore as it would to manually setup and install the apps and settings I just started from scratch without the backups and the prob stopped occurring.

EXT4 Mod Update

Mammon,

I know you are really busy and have a real life outside of this hobby.;)

Just wondering if you can shed some light on your progress with the Journaling Mod for the EXT4 FS. I am shivering with excitement on getting this phone to it's highest potential.

Thanks.

BTW, I have tried all the EXT4 Roms available on XDA, and this is by far the best looking and performing.:D

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
ive had this problem all the time with mybackup pro. the only thing i could do to is after reboot i had to clear out the data from TW launcher and they would show back up again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ahow628:
I'll check into that. I have the latest rom manager, but didn't update anything else.

With Mammon's blessing, I am uploading a fixed version of the ext4-nojournals.zip mod.

I found a tiny error in the updater-script where there was a missing closing double quote. I've contacted Dameon with the fix and offer this zip to help get us out of this endless loop. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] klbjr:
Keep getting this error: "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then I get a option to Force Close whenever i try to go into the Sound setting. I wiped everything 3 times before installing but same thing. Actually I get this problem with all of the Froyo Roms I have tried. Wondering if somebody can shed some light on what's going on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
The mod is working. But I will not release it due to the fact that I did not fix it, another dev(Good friend of mine) will release it today I hope.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Fixed ext4-nojournals mod

IMPORTANT NOTE: Spent some time working with Mammon on this mod last night and we discovered that if you flash using 3.0.0.5, the changes to the filesystem will not persist. You need to flash with CWM versions 2.5.1.2 or 3.0.0.2.

It seems that the only way to get to these other versions is to use Quickboot to Recovery or go to Advanced->Recovery in the CWM menu.

Good luck

Woah just installed this and got a 1733 in quadrant. Wil edit with screenshot when I finish my cigarette.

This is the dev I was talking about. Thanks to him the mod is working. Have fun!

So to install just go to cwm 2.5.1.2 and flash? or play it safe and wipe cache/dalvik too?

I did not do any wipes and am having great success. So yes just flash through 2.5.1.2 :-)

btw did u really get a 1733?!?!

I LOVE this rom!

Donation coming your way mammon..
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
I'll be editing my sig to reflect the new amazingness of Bonsai and Mammon in the next few minutes. As a note to people trying to replicate, I use ATK to kill all running apps except Gmail, CPU Tuner, Beautiful Widgets, and Handcent SMS (so that my score reflects only the basic functions I always have running) and I have CPU tuner set to only ever allow my CPU to run at 1000MHz (max processor speed).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
There is no need to wipe cache for this mod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] daryelv:
I ran Quadrant twice...

1793 (with other stuff running in the background still such as System Panel and JuiceDefender)

1811 (after shutting off System Panel, JuiceDefender and a few other apps)

No, I am not overclocked and I don't even have SetCPU set to "Performance" either to lock in the CPU at 1000.

Besides increasing the speed, what are the other benefits?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
You HAVE to get an upgrade in a year or two? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
None, it just increases your write speed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Just what I want to do. Spend more money
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
From what I have read this doesn't seem to be true.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
Actualy if you have less writes, then your phone is actualy working less hard, which in return should improve battery life greatly. "Theoreticaly" we will have to get some real life test to see all the benefits.

Edit: also less writes would mean less wear on your memory which would I believe increase your phones life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Hey Ken, do you highly recommend trying this? I have not done any add'l flashes/mods to my phone from where it was left off, so am I good to go from v1.1.3 and CWM v2.5.1.2? TIA!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
Ya man, go for it. As others have stated and as I indicated earlier, just be a little more careful shutting your phone off. As for that 1733 I actually beat it in the next test. 1830 with a 4638 on my I/O (read/write test) which bested my previous 1630 with a 3793 I/O. Also, my battery life this morning isn't really indicative of anything because I did some flashing so that sucked a good amount of battery (never asked because it made sense, but does anyone else notice that flashing absolutely drains battery?) but since then its held pretty steady (again in spite of the fact that I never allow my CPU to underclock itself).
[Epic 4G Android Development] daryelv:
Flashing drains battery because it's very intensive in writing to the memory and intensive on CPU. Memory writes require a to raise to a higher voltage which also contributes to higher battery drain.

-Daryel
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Awesome, thanks for the heads up! Will def allow writing to complete before reboot or shutdown of phone. Should probable remove Quick Boot since I'm so quick to hit Recovery in the app whenever I want to flash something.

Thanks for the upload Randy, am flashing now!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donut42:
My phone keeps randomly rebooting. I've looked it up in the issue list and there is supposed to be a fix posted by RaiderRep, but I cannot find this anywhere. Is anyone able to provide me a link please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
When ever you flash your phone, your phone is basicly erasing and writing to your memory which takes a lot of processing and drains your battery fairly quickly that's why they say you should have a near full battery when flashing. I believe daemon talked about this in one of the threads about this ext4 process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
I don't know of a fix but the way I generally solve the issue is by doing a clean wipe and starting fresh. Often this issue arises from restoring data/apps (via CWM or Titanium) that is incompatible with new ROMs. My suggestion would be to Odin back to stock DK28, reflash the rom and any other mods you want and manually re-add apps. Its in major pain in the a** but it helps cut down on bad data causing random reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
Wonderful, thank you both for your responses. I assumed as much but just had never confirmed it. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donut42:
Thanks, but I'm hoping to avoid that if I can. There is a person who posted in this thread about the fix and it worked for him. Unfortunately there is no link to this fix at all :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
I'll do a little looking of my own and see if I can't find it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hexatron:
Im only getting 1033 even after using the ex4-nojournals.1.1.zip did I miss a step? Right now I'm running the newest ver of Bonsai4All, used cw 2.5.1.2 to put both on. Used setcpu to proformance and atk so it was ready to roll for quadrant. Did I miss something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I get as much as 1713 in Quadrant w/o the journal mod. Cant wait to see what I get with it. Can the mod be removed?

[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
What CWM version do you have?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hexatron:
2.5.1.0 is what its showing as in rom manager - Sorry for being an ubber noob. Only had an android phone since sunday. How does one go about setting up ext4 or does that have to be done before installing Bonsai4All or can I do it from where I am now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
Ok i'll ask the dumb question,...so how do you tell when something is writing to flash memory to avoid data loss? Is it just when you see the spinning indicator?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
Here is how you go about setting up ext4:

1) Download and put on your SD card the newest Bonsai

2) Download and put on your SD card an ext4-formatter file (The attached file)

3) Do a Titanium Backup (if you want to save your apps/data)

4) Boot into CWM and do a NANDroid backup

5) Wipe Cache, Data and Dalvik Cache

6) Flash the ROM

7) Use the Go back function and then go into advanced and select reboot Recovery (this should put you into CWM 2.5.1.2, it will say the version number)

8) Flash the ext-formatter file

9) Without rebooting, flash the ROM again

10) Flash anything else you might want to use (like the no-journaling mod) and reboot!

Just remember your first boot will take awhile.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hexatron:
Aight, Is there a reliable way or good backup solution that I can save my current state with all my pages setup as they are and all the contacts joined as they need to be with the widgets all up where they should be that will restore without causing chaos after I am done completing those steps? Again, sorry for being a noob bout all this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
No apologies needed. Contacts and such should be linked to your google account but if you are worried about them being saved do this: Go into your contacts and hit the menu button and choose import/export. Export your contacts to your SD card (it wont be affected during the Flash). If you are using launcherpro you can do a backup of your homescreen but it will not save widgets. As far as I know there is no way to back up widget data, sadly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hexatron:
Again thank you. Will do all that in a couple min. Ill Post back later with results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:

[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I'm not noticing any battery drain out of the ordinary. I flashed this yesterday around 4 PM and still have 32% left. That's with some heavy use at times.

I did alter the zip file before I flashed it, but I doubt that it had any impact on battery life. I removed apk's for Swype, AllShare, Email, Qik, and the Samsung Keyboard. I also edited the build.prop and default.prop to enable the setup wizard.

I won't bother posting any data/time info on that. A) Heavy for me means nothing to anyone else. B) I won't lie and say I tracked it scientifically, lol.

It "feels" like I am getting awesome battery life based on me installing right upon release and when it finally died last night.
