Loving the ROM so far, but I did find one issue, not sure if it's something you can fix...

My Exchange requires a password to unlock my phone (bleh), I have the Samsung desk dock and when I try to unlock it horizontally, the screen cuts off the number pad so I can't unlock my phone without taking it out of the dock, turning it vertical, then unlocking.

On a side note- any one know of an app or way to stop the dang Exchange Password crap on 2.2 or delay the timeout for the password so I don't have to type it in each time?

Try this...

1. Remove your Email Accounts (Settings->Accounts)

2. Flash attached ZIP

3. Add back you Email Accounts

This removed the PIN lock requirement that I had.

Noob question,

I'm running 1.0.4 right now. What exactly do I need to do go get to ext4 + 1.1.2? Do I need to Odin back, or can I just follow the ext4 steps and then run the update to flash the rom? I've been reading through the thread but haven't seen any definitive steps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Goodness!!! Thanks dude, this is really useful for me as well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
WOW!! I only get 0.5M/0.2M now on v1.0.4 but the ROM is so responsive I was skeptical about flash v1.1.2. This difference in DL is definitely a deal breaker for me, so thanks again for posting results! I just hope v1.1.2 continues to score in the low 300miliseconds when running Speedpi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Built-in exchange is horrible on Android. That's why I forked out the $20 for Nitrodesk's Touchdown app. Once you set it up, you're golden.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Exactly the reason i'm moving to this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
can you share the benefit of th toucjdown vs stock exchange as you see them? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
hey mammon, loving the rom but the notification bar gets difficult to read at times...

just want to know if there is a way to maybe "add" the black and blue style notification bar from the Nebula rom or maybe implement it in a next release??

thanks again for the amazing rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
Mammon,

Can you use viper's data governor mod with this rom? Will it affect any of the internet tweaks you made? Also, are those tweaks built into your kernal or your rom?

Thanks.

Update:

Added the EXT Mod Mammon88 provided.

Quadrant changed to 1679 and linpack changed to 14.052 .

Tried different wifi network and results were back to what I was expecting :

(note speed test results are average of 10 test on each connection)

Indoors:

Wifi Down = 12.76mbps and up = 3.52mbps

3g speed: down = .61mbps and up = .2mbps

4G @40% reception : down = 1.2MBPS and up= .98mbps

Outdoors:

Will test later today.

And what everyone wants BATTERY TESTS!

Unplugged from charger this morning at 7 AM. Percent dropped to 96% after 10 mins. This is actually normal behavior! Go read alot of other articles on this.

Usage so far: 15 Mins using google nav on drive to work, 30 mins of reading news, 20 mins of phone calls. and 30 mins of running tests. = 95 mins actual up time.

Time of battery stat check 11:30 AM. for a total test time of 3.5 hours. Current Battery Life is at 76%.

Calculating using 3.5 hours for every 20% w/95 mins of use for baseline, means battery life p/charge estimate is 16.8 Hours. :cool:

Additional Notes:

Still noticing the GPS indicator randomly popping up in my status bar...grrr. Also I seem to get lag when moving from landscape to portrait. I haven't done anything to change the transition settings from my preferences for testing. Mammon did you change anything that might affect this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
for the rotation lag:

Download the connectbot app from the market

Than enter:

su press enter

/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha with phone on flat surface press enter

Reboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
I would expect much faster on download on both 3G and 4G

can't wait for my to get to that point.

dart throws here: try to disable google search or web using location based.

I thought this lagging happens on all DK28 kernerl, no matter which ROM u choose.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Would this be the same as Display==>horizontal cali. in settings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
its sort of the same but the one with connectbot or terminal works
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Thats why I put that I was indoors during test. I realized I had alot of material between me and the sky during those tests.

I know I don't know you well, but I LOVE YOU!!!!! Omg thank you so much. Worked like a charm!

I keep hearing people say the Exchange integration sucks on Android... but how does it? I don't really know what else I am missing -

My calendar syncs, I can accept meetings, view who accepted meetings I made, I have the GAL for emails, emailing works fine. I tried Touchdown and I disliked that it didn't integrate with the phones calendar, etc.

Not trying to argue that it doesn't suck.. it very well may lol I just don't know what else I would need I guess.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
I agree 100%, with the application of the security fix Daryel posted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carlosaf1020:
When mammon says his ext-4 mod can mess up up your data does he mean your sd card or the internal data. If that happened will your phone not work at all anymore?
[Epic 4G Android Development] viper134:
Voicemail Transcribe Problem

Hey Mammon, I was wondering if this rom messes with sprint voicemail transcribe since none of my voicemail's have the text attached to it anymore.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] DiGi760:
He means internal. Ext4 and his ext4 mod don't touch the sd card. You can edit the ext4-mammon.bat to see what it does.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
Hey Mammon, will you next update include your ext4 mod as well as support the edify scripts for dameons one click 3.0.0.5 ext installer?

thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
With 2 bars and speedtest server at 35 miles away, my speed test for

I was out door not moving..
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Regard your network tweak, willl it be reset if I do update profile from phone settings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chnzshyguy:
My favorite two features are:

1. Touchdown lets you set which folders you want to sync. Stock exchange randomly downloads folders based on whether you clicked into them before or not.

2. Touchdown lets you BCC yourself on all outgoing emails.

My biggest gripe about Touchdown is that it doesn't integrate with the built-in calendar. I do like how it syncs contacts to the built-in contacts though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
got it, thanks for sharing
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Dang, I guess it really all depends on where you're at cuz I get the same results of 0.5Mbps here in NY, but Im still on v1.0.4...I tested v1.1.1 n only saw a slight increase, 0.6Mbps...Im really content with v1.0.4, best ROM Ive ever had n Ive no intentions of running EXT4 just yet, so I guess I'll keep waiting for one as stable as the current ver Im running, thanks for ur input!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
my wife is loving this ROM on her Epic...thanks!

two things - 1) is there anyway to get that "Buddies" widget back? 2) is there is good full-screen calendar widget at all that someone could recommend?

[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Does ADW EX have any widgets? I never saw a launcher with so many useful widgets as LPP, which is why I also never felt a need to leave it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I'm getting better battery life vs. v1.0.4 as well, but I don't see an increase in 3G / 4G speeds whatsoever. Oh well I guess it varies by phone, location, etc.

Are you in clockwork 2.2.1.5 or whatever the second one is, you gotta run that bat file from the second stage of clockwork, from your computer. kinda tricky but i figured it out after a crap load of odining back and forth lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sean Hicks:
I finally got ext4 running, along with the new bonsai. Very nice! Very smooth, and fast.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Yeah it boots me into the new .2 cwm and then I get that.

Using 1.1.2 w/ setcpu set to performance and both animation settings in spareparts set to fast and my phone is flying!!! Best performance I have seen so far!! I usually don't post but its pretty amazing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Did you install clockworks mod 3.0.0.5? If so that could be the problem, its seems to me the mounting points changed. I'm looking into another fix.

Check out my new update v1.1.3, it supports clockworks 3.0.0.5 and I tweak the network settings. I hope this helps those users who wifi speeds have decreased.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Supporting CW3 will mean that all .zip files for flashing app and or themes will no longer work, correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Yes, unless they have the new edify format.

@mammon Thanks for all the work you devs are doing for the community
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
So what advantage do we get for flashing v.1.1.3 and using edify format/scripts? I'm happy with v1.0.4 and was going to flash v1.1.3, but are you saying that if I do that not all of my apps, especial those which I add through flashing a zip, will no longer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
yes if you get the new version with the new cwm thethemes wont work cause they have to be edify scripted. im dl the new version now. mammon this is the best rom. i love your updates!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Muscles:
okay, so now with the 1.1.3 i can just use the clockwork 3.0.0.5 to flash the new rom and everything should be smooth? another question will i need to do the mammon ext4 mod again? I love this community, I have been flashing all day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
yeah use the new cwm 3.0.0.5. i dont know bout the script. good question but probably not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Muscles:
Thanks, before i do any more damage, I'll wait to see what else we can do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
For now do not run the mod with clockworks 3.0.0.5 installed. I've been having issues all day with it. I'm currently working on a fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
FWIW, I ran the commands for the mod by hand today after converting to CWM3.

I found that I needed to mount -a before creating lost+found and copying tune2fs since /system was not mounted.

I also found I needed to add -y flag to fsck since there were errors found. This took a long time to run to completion. > 10 min but I was scrolling to the terminal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
I found the same thing but the problem is once you remove journal from ext4 after a reboot it will come back.

edit: here is the script I'm working on:

@echo off
cd "%~dp0"
echo Created my Mammon
echo Now modding your EXT4 partations
echo please hit Enter to start, This could wipe all of your data.
pause
adb reboot recovery
echo Press Enter once in recovery
pause
echo unplug usb cable from phone..count to 5 and plug it back in and press Enter.
pause
adb shell cp /system/bin/recoveryfiles/tune2fs /tmp
adb shell umount data
adb shell umount system
adb shell umount cache
echo DATA, SYSTEM, and CACHE is now unmounted

echo exit

echo EXT4 MOD was successful!
echo Completed
pause
exit
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
I apologize but do not run what mod? I'm currently on v1.0.4 and would greatly like to update to one of your recent release but don't know which way to go about doing so. I was planning on updating to v1.1.3 but are you saying if I do so to not run your EXT mod over it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
Does 1.1.3 require the cwm3 to install or can I use the the normal ext4 cwm to flash it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
You can use the normal cwm to flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Do not run "Mammon's EXT4 MOD" with cwm 3.0.0.5 installed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mammon's EXT4 MOD (Should increase your speed by 15%, ONLY FOR EXT4)

Information about the MOD: This mod will turn off journaling to your ext4 partitions which should increase your systems speeds by 15%.

WARNING: Turning off journaling makes your data more susceptible to getting corrupted, although the risk is small.

Disclaimer: No promises that this will work for you, or that it won't corrupt your data. Try this at your own risk.

To install:

download the MOD here.

extract and run ext4-mammon.bat

So if Im just looking to update my ROM to having the new tweaks and better battery life added, w/o having the update prevent me from adding any of my previous apps, am I better off flashing v1.1.1?...EDITED: Im not looking to use EXT4 or the edify format.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
Does your latest include your ext mod or do I still need that separately
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
no flash v1.1.2. It does not matter if you have EXT 4 or not.

And b/c of this I will provide a new version of Bonsai4All rom without EXT4 tweaks and edify format.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
Also, can I use titanium back up to back anything up from 1.0.4 before I go CWM+ext and then to mammon 1.1.3

Or am I going to have to start everything fresh in 1.1.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
If you have or going to install clockworks recovery 3.0.0.5 then DO NOT install the mod.

other wise the mod is not included within v1.1.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
You should be able to backup all your apps. The only thing you dont want to backup/restore is the updater-script,
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
That's so fukn awesome dude, u r the man!...but just to b clear, v1.1.3 is mainly for those looking to do the extra mods n steps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
That seems unusual behavior.

As mentioned in PM, I have set my partitions to writeback only with 'tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback' and I have just confirmed that the setting has persisted through reboot.

Still puzzled by not being able to control mount options...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Yes, its really meant for clockworks recovery 3.0.0.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Can't float a donation atm but ty for the quick updates. I'll have full re-review of 1.1.3 tomorrow for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:

updated from another rom, wiped everything 3x phone boots android and the reboots after 30s of use. It never turns off. It just shows the boot animation again

edit: pulled the battery and seems to work now.

I do have a question, is there anyway to get touchwiz menu at the bottom to not have internet and email, and replace it with messaging?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Mammon, does tis mean yourgoing to have a rfs only version without the new kernel, etc?

This would be cool. I woud love to do ext4 with new roms, but I have tried each rom several times and each time with bad stutter/lag in menus and games etc. I have read of a few orhers with same problem, but very few. I even ran the new bonsai 1.1.2 on the rfs with same prob., guessing it is kernel causing me problems??

Edit:

Ok I did an experiment. I did a odin to stock and went to a fresh flash of bonsia 1.04. I am's till getting bad lag/stuttering as' stated above. So it has nothing to do with ext4 or th ev new kernel. Unless formatting it has some effect even after odin to stock. Now the wierd thing is, is that my cwm backup of bonsia 1.04 works fine. Does any one hav ev any idea why going back any fresh install seems to cause lag and stuttering issues?

Edit:

Another experiment. I went to vesion bonsai 1.1.2 (says 1.1.1 in phone settings but must be a typo) which I have done before with the same laggy, stuttery results. But this time I used my cwm "advanced restore/data only" from v1.0.4 cwm backup and it is now working ok. Maybe I will try this with ext4 too.

So it seems my backup data files are carrying over something that helps. If I start from scratch without data backup restore it I bad. Any ideas from anyone? As I want to be able to do a completely fresh install.

UPDATE:

Problem seems to be fixed simply by formatting the SD Card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
Mammon, would it be possible for you to post a zip that will restore your touchwiz? I'm running Midnight rom that uses yours as a base and the only thing missing is your touchwiz
[Epic 4G Android Development] carlosaf1020:
Sorry guys for asking but can anyone do me a favor and help me find a ginger bread keyboard that works for this rom the one I got doesn't install not even in the new clockwork ending in .2 and does anyone know how to get that clock app that looks like a a whole screen and can dim the brightness I don't know what is called sorry guys I.have looked and can't find it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pito2k6:
I used to get lag n stutter on any rom I used to flash.What I discovered is that when the lag n stutter would start,I would remove my memory card n problem would go away.I had to reformat my card so that the lag would go away.hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Thanks. I will give it a shot.

Pito2k6 your the man!

Update:

I have been odining and flashing and pulling hair for like 4 days. I pulled the sdcard and it "seems" to have fixed my issues. Sometimes its something simple. I will test further to be sure but thanks!

PS: Mammon, thank once again for a great update!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pito2k6:
I hope that solves ur problem because I use to pull my hair when I use to get lag n stutter no matter what rom I flashed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
2 questions. How do I install the mod? and just to doublecheck whats the procedure when flashing from a different rom? I'm on midnight with ext4. I assumed boot into clockwork, reboot to boot into cwm.2, wipe, flash rom, reinstall final ext4 kernel? hope im right. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Just flashed v1.1.2 (still using RFS) yesterday, was wondering if the update to v1.1.3 with CWM v3.0.0.5 and EXT4 (and Mammon's mod to turn off journaling) was worth it? 1.1.2 is running great for me right now and if 1.1.3 offers only minimal speed improvements, I'll just stay with what I have.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
do you still have to wipe the cache and data when flashing through 3.0.0.5. I have heard that the recovery wipes them automatically. Can I install this coming from Quantum 2.7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DiGi760:
Official procedure is to ALWAYS wipe. ALWAYS.

Does someone have to ask this question for every release of every rom?

Is it safe to assume that all roms that reference the cwm 3.0.0.5 recovery use the edify scripts
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sean Hicks:
Has anyone else had failure while trying to flash the mammon ext4 mod zip? I have tried through both recoveries, and it just hangs at installing update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Yeah they have to or you won't be able to flash them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
MaMmon is working on a fix for his script.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Thanks for clarifying this for me. I am using 2.7 quantum and want to try Bonsai
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
So I assume this means that the previous advice to just flash it via 2.5.1.2 would no longer hold true? If not, again I assume the correct way to flash it would be to clear cache/data flash the rom, flash the journaling mod, and then flash the rom again (for those coming from an ext4 rom)

~~EDIT~~ Being an impatient bastard I gave up waiting and tried flashing it and now see that it does indeed mean that flashing through 2.5.1.2 does not work. I look forward to seeing a fix and would like to tell mammon that I am a fan of his rom (despite what my signature says ;D Haven't changed it just yet hehe)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
How do I get cwm3.0.0.5? Is it needed for the rom to work correctly? I have ext4 working with the journaling mod and I still get lag. I'm trying to get the procedure downpacked. Since it lags I feel I missed a step somewhere. These are the steps I took.

reboot into cwm .2

wipe

flash mammon

flash dk28.final kernel

rebooted

booted back into cwm.2

flash journaling mod

My original feeling is that doesn't sound right...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
cwm3 is not needed for v.1.1.2 for sure.

If you did the ext4 format already then it sounds right. Nor sure about journal as I did not do that yet. As far as lag. I kept having that issuetoo. As someone pointed out see if unmounting your sdcard fixes lag. If so reformat the sdcard. Worked for me.

I must say that in the hour-ish I've been using this ROM it has just amazed me. Its snappy, I love the font replacement and it runs just as smooth as I could ever hope. Mammon88, you have done a wonderful job! Thank you so much for your hard work and I look forward to getting a chance to try the journaling mod once you get the kinks worked out.
