[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
so I'm running 2.0.0 flawlessly. I just want to let everyone know the extremely simple steps I took in order to make this run correctly.

created a nandroid backup

odined back to stock dk28 with pit and modem

upon reboot, root with cwm 3.0.0.5 one click

3 finger salute and phone automatically backs up and converts to ext4

then flash nojournal zip

flash bonsai

upon reboot, sign into google

3 finger salute and then flash kernel patch, a theme, and then restore data from original nandroid
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
From reading the threads since Bonsai 2.0 was released, I have the impression that if I install the Bonsai 2.0 zip from CWM 2.5.1.2, the install would work and in the process convert CWM to 3. In other words, I didn't think that your step 2 above is correct. Am I mistaken?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Actually my widgets loaded fine with the Bonsai 2.0 backup/restore. Just like a nandroid backup/restore always works for me. The only time they dont work for me is if I use the launcher app such as launcher pro to restore them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
My widgets loaded fine also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Yup your skipping step 1 :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Or... you could have followed the Install Instructions and made it a two step process.

I'd recommend going back and flashing just the v2.0 ROM package. You've applied a kernel patch that should not be in this install. The no_journal mod was unnecessary but was corrected by the ROM install. The restore of data from nandroid may have brought back filesystem problems from the backup which will be corrected if you reinstall the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Seriously? You want to go down this road?

Please See Step 1

Or do I have to send you my set of beta instructions? LOL

BONSAI!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Randy you sure you don't want to give the go ahead to use my instructions? I made a few minor updates to them. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I doubt they would read those either... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I downloaded the file mammon posted in the link you gave, copied to /system/app/ with Root Explorer, set the permissions (rw-r--r--) with Root Explorer, and I am no longer getting sms in my logs.

Did you read the entire thread you linked to? (It's only 2 pages long). Maybe you missed this post?

Have you sent / received sms since you applied the file?

=]
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
What's more amazing is that we have purposely made the link to the ROM download actually the Install Instructions so you are forced to load the Install Instructions to find the download link for the ROM...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Your Step 2 (which says to install CWM 3) is inconsistent with the instructions at

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

which state at the beginning "Have you rooted your phone with CWM3 or

CWM2

? If Yes, goto BACKUP:".

It doesn't state that if you have CWM2, you need to update to CWM3 before flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
As has been stated at Least twice today alone, DO NOT WIPE. If you don't understand why, go back to the post where 2.0 was released and read everything. It is explained in detail why it is not only not needed, it is a bad idea.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I believe that if you have CWM2 installed, that you can proceed to the BACKUP step and then flash the ROM. If you prove me wrong, I will change the instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Thank you Randy. I agree with you, from what I have read. I have not tried -- I was wanting to try it without moving to CWM3 (I do have ext4 running). I was just pointing out that Step 2 of MasterQu's "revised" instructions is inconsistent with what you state above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I don't mean to contradict MasterQu, I should know better. But can think of no reason why CWM2 will not run the install script to install the ROM. We've had some inconsistent results. If you would give it a go, I would appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I had success with this method also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
doing this now, will PM you if it doesn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Probably right, but it would be good for a few giggles. Unfortunately it would probably start a flame war. ;-)

I'm starting to feel bad about flashing back to DK28 just to play what if games. For the record:

IT WAS A MISTEAK TO TRY THAT OUT AND CREATED ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS NOOBS WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY FIXING.

So please follow the directions, pretty please with sugar on it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BubbaGumprc:
Just loaded his rom and whole **** its quick. Was running a 2.1 rom and then wanted to try froyo. Easy to flash also. Great job.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Randy: Your wish is my command. I was on Nebula ROM 1.06 with EXT4. I did not upgrade to CWM 3. I booted into CWM 2.5.1.2 recovery. Installed Bonsai 2 zip from there. Worked FLAWLESSLY. CWM 3 was automatically installed during Bonsai 2.0 install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
I was using 2.5.1.0 cwm when I tried it flashing with no success. I don't know what happens with 2.5.1.2 . I would think it would work because its ext4 centric. Randy's not contradicting me. He knows more than I do, but like randy_t I'm trying to keep it simple and guarentee sucess. So I threw out a blanket statement on my instruction set. Jeebus tough audience.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
ROFLMAO!!

That was sweet as hell!! Nice one MasterQu!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
you trying from 2.5.1.0 must be the difference, because . . . . as I just found out, installing Bonsai 2 from 2.5.1.2 with EXT4 worked without problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
You should of seen the beta instructions, they were alot better! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Thanks for letting me know that. But seriously would me making some statement about it make it easier to read my directions? IMHO I think it would just confuse more than help.

Lets face facts I'm a confusing man to begin with.

BONSAI!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
So this might warrant some additional instructions for anyone coming from stock DK28.

It seems that we may have a lower hurdle if anyone on DK28 roots with CWM 2.5.1.2 and then installs Bonsai v2.0.

I won't have a chance to test this over next few days as I am going to need to unplug from here and focus on some work items. But if anyone can confirm this, it would sure make it easier for people that are coming from stock.

Thanks for giving this a go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Not going to be me boss. :D . I hated putting 2.5.1.2 on my phone it was a pain in the rear. I was very happy with the one click method for cwm3 install. I'll do alot of things but someone else can take this challenge.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
All I really did was follow the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/bonsai/wiki/Install --- they already indicate that you can flash from CWM2 or 3. I started these posts because Master Qu's instructions stated "make sure you have installed CWM3." I can only confirm that you can install from 2.5.1.2 with EXT 4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
:D Wasn't directed at you Master. That was a general call for volunteers. Seems to be no lack of people that want to flash back to stock. :confused:

A good day folks. Enjoyed the positive strokes and was entertained by some of the questions...

I will be scarce for the next few days. If the house is burning down, you know how to find me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] anfrany:
I installed 2.0.0 from CWM 2.5.1.2 without a hitch, afterwards had CWM3 and was able to flash the AOSP lockscreen and Gingerbread theme successfully.
[Epic 4G Android Development] daryelv:
I came from a customized ROM under 2.5.1.2, EXT4 w/ journaling. No issues with upgrading, although I lost my custom fonts (no problem, just pushed them back on w/ ADB). CWM 3.0.0.5 is now on the recovery partition and comes up when doing quickboot. All performing great and time to start putting my mods back on. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Are you serious????? Why.can't.people read. I haven't logged in for a while today and I just for done reading about 50 posts and I don't know how Randy does it. He busts his ass and makes the easiest install of a rom and there are a ton of repeat questions. We don't mind noob questions at all but 9 chances out of 10 if you would just read some other posts someone probably already asked that question and then a couple posts down is the answer. Me and I'm sure the.other beta testers have probably read almost every post on this rom. Why can't you just read a couple of posts to find your answer? We are not trying to be assholes here it's just that there are so many repeat questions. Masterqu bust out those install instructions. I saw you made some changes. That's great. Trust me I was a noob to at one point and everyone has to start somewhere and I asked my share of questions but I also read and researched alot too.

If you flashed this ROM, it should be in your app drawer, unless you restored data from a Nanadroid backup. Then you would have written over it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
+1 on the DarkTremor a2sd script. Also, thanks for planning to incorporate the Clockwork Redirector!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Quick question. I'm using the Apps to SD feature that's built into Froyo. What is the advantage of the Dark Tremor script over Froyo's built in a2sd? I was under the impression that his script was for Eclair ROMs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
Don't know of this was mentioned but is their a chance for Android Setup Wizard support to be added? Makes moving from ROM to ROM so easy when it restores your stuff for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
The DarkTremor script is not just for Eclair builds. The advantage is that it is substantially more robust in terms of features. For example, it allows you to move all apps to the sd card, rather than just the ones the devs built with Froyo app2sd support. Also, it allows you to move cache and dalvik to the sd card, which, for whatever reason, made my phone absolutely fly when I had it running that way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Interesting. Well in that case, +1 for Darktremor script. I haven't come across any apps I wanted to move to the SD card that I couldn't, but I'm all for a performance boost of any kind.

[Epic 4G Android Development] wjohnson1186:
You might want to mention to people that they need to have the DK28 modem installed through Odin or whatever. This step gave me multiple problems as I was coming from Baked Snack who has DIwhatever on it. After nearly what felt like bricking my phone, I got Odin to work after 20+ tries and installed the DK28 stock rom, and then flashed this rom over it. I nearly through my phone at a wall to see if it helped, but my resourcefulness and not have the money to pay for a replacement kept my will going.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eater99999:
Is there a way to set this up to boot with LCD density = 200? That would make it perfect!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I have only read two posts about messing with lcd density on the epic and both had to reflash roms so I don't know that anyone has any tools for that yet.

runing this rom since day 1. no issues to report, none. tried all the rest, they were very good, but this rom is flawless for me, its a keeper.. good job to mammon, thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Hey -- could you post the boot animation file? Absolutely love it./STRIKE]

NM -- found it in the zip.

Thx,
[Epic 4G Android Development] tahlsr:
Just downloaded and installed. Great ROM so far. Couple questions...

1.) I notice that OmaDrmConfigService is a running service. I recall tons of hoopla about stopping that to conserve battery power. Is that a non-issue in froyo? should it be stopped after every reboot? Is there a way to remove it?

2.) Does everyone still toggle airplane mode after a reboot?

Thanks in advance and love my new speed with this rom.!!!!!

Also in case it's helpful... when I wanted to update to this rom I wasn't sure if I needed to use Odin to flash a modem/PIT. Since I had manually done the 'official' update, that already gave me the DK28 modem so just flashing the zip for this rom was enough for me. i.e. I've still never used ODIN and I'm on this rom... make sense? Just trying to be helpful since I never saw that specific detail posted and I was confused. I'm still very noobish. : )

Thx for a great ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
If you uninstall the DRM service you may have problems with audio playback. Just kill it or stop it from starting at boot. It still helps with battery life.

I still toggle Airplane Mode in Froyo, because if I don't I get Time Without Signal = 50%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
+1 I lost mine too trying another one I don't like.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Lol, that dreadful feeling when odin consistently f**ks up, and then you ask yourself, "Sh*t, did I really break it this time? How can I make it look like an accident? Maybe I should swap usb ports. Maybe if I leave the battery out a couple more seconds it will help." Gotta love it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tahlsr:
Thx. Will continue to toggle and stop that service on reboot : )
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
It's at /system/media/bootanimation.zip

However, I'm uncertain which (if any) qmg files need to be deleted from the other ROM for this boot ani to work.

I'll keep you posted. :)

I already tried reinstalling.

Is anyone else using it for vmail?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
Is it stupid or ballsy that I want to skip any extra backups and just let Bonsai do its thing?

not sure what I am missing here.

When I tried earlier.. I did update using adb..

I use super manager to copied files, however it still shows the receiving msg.

In all cases, I see receive sms text, but not the sent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Came from Epic Exp ROM from late December. Following the instructions to flash. The phone is stuck at the Samsung screen that you see when you first turn on the phone. Trying to go back now. Everything showed success when I was watching things go by during the flash.

Restoring in CWM2 shows E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log Looks like it is restoring though.

I used Root Explorer to copy the file to system/app. Changed the file permissions, and it worked. I didn't even have to reboot.

2.5.1.0....now downloading the DK28 tar for ODIN since my phone is stuck in a loop. Argghh...I knew I shouldn't have messed with this at this hour of the night (30 min to midnight). I need my phone tomorrow and the damn hotel WIFI is slooowwww... 2 hours to download the DK28 tar.

Only thing I can think of is Randy must have a good sense of humor or hes on some good meds cause I couldn't deal with some of the stupid messages you see here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Yeah you can't do this from cwm 2.5.1.0 needs to be using 2.5.1.2 or higher.. do you have any rfs roms downloaded? You can pull battery and restart again in cwm and try installing one to get you back up faster (if u have it). Then install the right cwm and try again.

My other idea is if u have a backup run a full restore.

[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Sounds like the 2.5.12 requirement needs to be added to the instructions. I tried to reapply EE 2.06...no go. Still bombs. Trying full restore...bombs...

Looks like it's ODIN to stock... root and try again. Looks like I'll be starting after a rewipe anyways.. the long way around ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I have changed the install docs to show a requirement of 2.5.1.2 or higher. I have a copy of the 2.5.1.2 components. I think we are going to need to roll our own root package in order to resolve this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Sounds good so others don't get snagged like me.

49 minutes to go on the DK28 tar file download.... should have downloaded that first just incase when I had 4g access ;)

Show me one post that addressed the question I asked before I asked it and I will gladly leave this message board forever. If not, please shut the hell up. I've read the entire topic, kid.

I know it obviously supports ext4, I am specifically asking if there's now a no journaling mod requirement.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Sorry mate. Better lock next go around....Now who was the peeps who said I shouldn't have said cwm3 only in my instruction set? ......jk
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skrewup5:
so my question may have been answered, but i honestly cant even see straight after reading 50 pages in a row.

A. I love this rom, i came from viperrom (and as good as it is) Bonsai is by far the best.

B. I am having an issue with my texting. i think its a dk28 issue though cuzz ive been having the same problem on stock 2.2 as well. sometimes ill send a text, but it will be stuck on "sending" and it wont actually go through until i restart my phone. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if so have you found a way to get rid of it?

let me just apoligize again if anyone else has had this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Flint420:
This is by far the easiest rom to instsall ever. Great work. Thanks for making our phones work like they should.

It amazes me how people fail to read. They don't realize it makes it harder to find good information for everyone else.Maybe there needs to be a list of all the repeat questions (w/ answers or links to posts) not to ask on the OP. Might cut down on all the repeat posts. Some provided a good laugh though. Still think people won't read it though.

I been on bonsai since 1.02 and every one has worked without issues. However I did follow instructions and read everything before I started.

Let me know if you need another tester.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Try clearing data in app manager for the sms app. Might work. Otherwise you might need to update your PRL.

Just to be Devil's Advocate, I don't think he was asking if there is a no journaling mod built in, I think he was asking if the no journaling mod is required -- in other words (I think) . . . . can journaling be ENABLED?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
exactly right
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Perhaps you did not read the most important document and the ONLY one you need to read in this forum...

The Install Doc...

Nowhere does it tell you to install any mods...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
No, journaling is not enabled on this ROM. We want to give you the best performance and preserve your phone's storage life.

You are welcome to back out that feature. We are not going to help you do that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
The posts certainly does answer your question. You asked "does this have no journal mod support". The answer is yes, its baked into the rom. This was answered by Mammon88, Randy_T and myself and I am sure without reading several of the beta testers. You can click on any of our profiles and read our posts and you will see ample response to this subject. If that is not enough for you then goto our wiki and read it there. If its not on the wiki, I am sorry but its because were arguing symantics with peeps like you and are unable to find the time to do a proper update. I know I personally need to update several pages on the wiki.

Go troll somewhere else, cause I'm calling this matter closed.

P.S. Read one up Randy_T answered with alot more patience than me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
Thanks.

I hope answering that question didn't set the rom's development back a few months.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
Are you some kind of idiot?

This is what I asked:

"new version still supports ext4 without the no journaling mod, right?"

Nowhere in the install page or in the topic until recently was this addressed.

EDIT: If you're not going to take the time to actually read questions, maybe you shouldn't participate in user support for the rom. I find people who sperg out over nothing tend to be unhelpful anyway.

I'm apologizing for the attitude in my last post, I shouldn't of been so harsh. I misinterpreted what you wrote.

This is what I saw" I know it obviously supports ext4, I am specifically asking if there's now a no journaling mod requirement."

I interpreted this as: DO I have to run the no-journal mod? Am I required to do this?

I will say this, your choice of words in your questions imho were easily misconstrued. Next time when you see multiple people having an issue understanding what you wrote, instead of saying we didn't read, which I did read several times, maybe just maybe you will consider rephrasing.
