IIRC, they are trying to work it out so that when you flash, it overwrites everything. Don't quote me on this because everything is still on the table so to speak.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Bonsai v3.0.0 status

Greetings all,

Just want to give a quick update and squash a few speculations I have seen floating around.

1. Bonsai v3.0.0 is going through what is looking to be a nearly final beta test. So far, so good from what I am seeing and have not seen any comments that look like serious problems.

2. Primary differences in Bonsai v3.0.0 is the move to EB13 base and the ability to supply our own kernel, compiled from source, with some additional tuning.

3. With Bonsai v3.0.0 it will be possible to flash it over stock DI18, DK28, or EB13 as long as it has been rooted with CWM3.

4. Modem firmware update will be applied to any phone that shows DI18 or EB13 as baseband/version. (thanks to nubecoder and his godlike edify skills)

5. Overclocking changes from the Genocide kernel will be included but we are undecided about enabling the OC range out of the box. Comments welcome on whether you would like to see the full 1.2ghz to 100ghz range as a Bonsai default or control it your self throug setcpu or editing of the Bonsai init scripts.

6. TCP MTU clamping is enabled in the Bonsai kernel. This is to take advantage of new features in wireless tether aimed at reducing packet fragmentation on some networks.

Hoping we can have a v3.0 to offer everyone within the next 48 hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Fantastic news! So, on the new version, could we flash it over the current version of Bonsai or must we ODIN to a stock rom first?

Edit: I'd love to see 100-1.2 out of the box so I can ditch setCPU :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i think that 200-1.2ghz out of the box, would work the best with a big range of epic's
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I suggest you leave it up to the person to oc. Not all phones are stable at 1.2 and cause data lock leaving you know choice to pull the battery catering data curoption with journaling disabled. depending on the kernel I was able to run 1.2 and others I couldn't on di18. I want able to run 1.3 at all
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Randy is right. Beta testing is going great. I've personally haven't had any issues. It is very fast. This is The fastest my phone has ever been. You guys will also love it.

Did you have to ODIN to stock or were you just able to flash it over the 2.x.x version of Bonsai?

mammon! wanna help a fella out and send me a copy of just your kernel? it's for a good cause.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
The kernel in this ROM will be the same one as in any other, stock is the only option for now.

The Rom is great, only issue I have is that only the 3G works. I cannot load anything if 4G or WIFI are on. I wiped everything 3 times, still no go. I used the DK28 modem located here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stayfitted:
Here you go!

To install Media Hub flash through clockwork and install Sprint Navigation with Either Astro or ES File Explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Just to make people aware, I figured out the problem that was causing three issues for me after I updated to 1.02. The three problems I was having were:

1. Unable to receive phone calls - incoming calls went straight to voicemail.

2. Home button stopped working.

3. Power button menu options only listed power off.

It turns out that these problems were caused by restoring system settings (not system apps or system app data) via Titanium Backup. I wasn't able to isolate it to a particular settings option, but just thought I'd pass this experience along.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hotwired34:
I had an issue with the GPS when I first flashed the ROM. I followed the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869806 to fix it. It now works perfect!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
Quick question, don't know how hard this is but is it possible to lower the media volume on the cool bootup animation for this ROM. Rebooting in public/work with that loud bootup really gets peoples attention! LOL...

BTW, Mammon I'm really digging this ROM so far.. 2 days+ and its great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Not entirely true.

The bulk of Mammon's kernel is the same, but he has a modified and repacked initramfs, making his kernel different from all the others.

To the asker of the question, just download the whole ROM, then go to the kernel_update folder and copy it from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sersdf:
Thanks to Mammon for this ROM. Loving it. Was using quantum for awhile but this seems faster and the theme is awesome. GPS still not working (I'm on 1.0) but looking forward to today's update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] legendarygizmo:
Guess you are too lazy to use the search feature. I have already mentioned a solution a couple of pages back to remove the boot audio completely. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9815782&postcount=369
[Epic 4G Android Development] kibachris:
You could either try lowering Settings --> Sound -->Volume --> System Volume or get rid of it altogether:

Although I guess you could also go in using Root Explorer or something to remove that file post-install... haven't tried it myself so I can't say I'm 100% sure that it works =P
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmriggin:
Only gripe I have at all is with the font. Wishing there was more of a clear difference between "o" and "a". Everthing else works perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burningembers:
Loving this ROM. Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
Everyone's taste in fonts is different, of course... I love the font Mammon uses.

His Leafless version has no special font.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hotwired34:
Any answer on this? I am running 1.0.1 and have it set up like I want. I would love to update to the 1.0.2 but not have to set everything back up again. Is there going to be a 1.0.2 update?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
Same answer anytime someone asks. Wipe. Can you get away without it going from one DK28 ROM to another/upgrade? Maybe. wiping is the best bet.

He did say another update should land today. Yay!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Here's a good rule-of-thumb on updates:

Version numbers: a.b.c

If c changes, it's typically minor changes and fixes, and no wipe is required.

If b changes, it means that it was a fairly large update and potentially has new features. A wipe isn't required, but recommended.

If a changes, wipe. It's a total version change.

Now, I wipe regardless because I'm a masochist or something and like setting my entire phone up frequently >.> A phone will always run faster after a fresh wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoothone:
Can anyone offer advice on the download link. I keep getting redirected to the same page and cannot download? Tried a different browser and still a no?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
I love that you are cooking OC into the ROM! I like the idea having a fast & stable one-stop-shop Bonsai! :D

I for one would like a Bonsai tool for managing the OC, and would be willing to wait for the feature. I don't like adding SetCPU or having to edit the init. You guys have done such a phenomenal job, so far, I want to leave my Bonsai trimmed just the way you grew it! ;)

That is freaking AWESOME!!

Lovin' the Bonsai!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sheltem:
Yeah I have the same problem with my Mazda3. It worked with Bonsai 2.0. I've only had problems when I flashed to 2.01.

I'm probably going to do a clean wipe on Bonsai 3.0. Hopefully that will fix it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Applying it directly over Bonsai v2.0.x will work fine with the exception that it will not upgrade the modem firmware since the modem patch can only be applied to a DI18 or EB13 firmware. So if you want Bonsai to upgrade the modem at the same time, you will want to flash back to DI18. If you are installing Bonsai v3.0 to your EB13 phone, we will reapply the modem update just to make sure you are current.

DK28 was never official according to Samsung, therefore the modem update patch will not apply to DK28 phones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I might have made a mistake on one thing and that's the.modem. since dk28 was a leak than the modem updater might not work. Will probably have to Odin that or find an update.zip. sorry bout that guys. I came straight from eb13 and saw some guys coming from 2.0.1 that flashed from that. Don't kill me to bad for that.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
So if we use odin *only* to flash the stock modem (thereby leaving our data intact) then flash bonsai 3 will that work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Ok sorry to keep this going but do I really have to odin back to stock di18 or can I just odin the eb13 modem on top of my bonsai 2.01 (dk28) the flash the bonsai 3.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Sounds like you have to be on an official build first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Thanks. But it seems anyone flashing over Bonsai 2.01 (eb13) would really ONLY have eb13 modem as the Bonsai 2.01 flashing would have put everything else back to dk28 and Randy said you could do that. Thats why I figured just to oden modem would be enough. But I guess not...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
You don't have to be on an official build, but you have to be using an official modem(di18 or eb13).
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
He said you can flash over the old bonsai... but it just won't update the modem.. just flash the modem in Odin, that's what I did and in ready to go :)

Lets not get too committed to the prerequisites just yet? I may have a solution that will upgrade everything regardless of what is installed on the phone. Stay tuned. We'll give the particulars when we release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenny782:
Just wanted to say thanks again for your 2.0.1 release. I've been running it since 2/3

It's been rock solid! Not a single problem.

The best ROM I've had since I bought this thing.

One question, I'm doing something that's removing the reboot option from the menu when you hold down the power button. What file(s) add that option?

Thanks,

Kenny
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
If I understand you correctly, the reboot option is disappearing for some unknown reason.

I suspect that you are flashing a theme onto the phone that is overwriting the framework files that provide the reboot option. Mammon could tell you more specifically what file(s) that is in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I can add that battery mods also overwrite the framework files. Just FYI.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Looks like Randy has bricked his phone.. All donations will goto purchasing a new Epic phone for Randy. In the process of testing out a new flash method he ended up bricking his phone!

Nuecoder I am glad to see you on board ty.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
When I broke my screen on my epic (from droping it) only 2 weeks after buying it.... I walked into a sprint repair store and they just replaced it for $125 without insurance. I forget what its called, but some sort of replacment program (as long as its not lost or signs of water damage)

And fyi I was just in there today because my ear piece was slightly cracking/popping.... well they replaced the entire LCD....

Yay, no more scraches

Ensure you clean your SD card. I got a close call when I had a visit to Sprint store few week ago.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
that's why you keep the stock card clean and stored ready to pop in when you go to a store.

Considering the Epic is less than a year old, it is under warranty. If you don't have insurance, Sprint will only do so much warranty work. But thankfully many are sympathetic and have deals as others have mentioned. Anything beats having to send it back to Samsung. But even then it beats shelling out real coin. If all doesn't go well, I'm in for another $5 or 10.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
I was about to say you need to format the sd card and wipe it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I just wanted to be clear on what happened, someone had mentioned Randy bricked his phone while testing the modem flashing.

While that statement is true, it's not the entire truth (or the reason he is full bricked).

The reason he full bricked was that, along with testing the modem, he was also testing the Bootloader and the Sbl (Secondary Bootloader).

I just wanted to minimize people's concerns with flashing the modem.

Randy if you have the insurane it should not cost you a penny to walk into a sprint store and get another one. I have done it, my girlfriend has done it, that's the point of the insurance. Just go in and say the phone all of a sudden won't turn on, and boom you should get a refurb. I didn't even give them my sd card, Hope it all works out for you.

Thanks Comando,

TEP seemed like yet another Sprint tax to me at the time, so I don't have it. Was not phone hacking when I bought it. Perhaps I will consider it this round. In over 15 years of carrying a phone, I've never needed the insurance.... :o
