Ok guys im still on Bonsai 1.0.4 and wanting to go to 1.1.3 Ext4. I have been trying to read up on this process and have been getting mixed posts. 1 person/ post says do this/ another says do that. So is this what i do to get this running correctly?

1) Backup with Titanium. 2) Nano Backup. 3) Install CW 3.0.5 4) Install No Journaling Mod(thanks randy_t) 6) Install Bonsai 1.1.3 7)Restore apps/etc. ???

I saw a post where Randy_T said avoid CW 3.0.0.5 for now so im confused. If I flashed CW 3.0.0.5 then go to advanced>reboot does it bring up the older CW(Green) so i can still flash zips? Because im reading mixed posts on that also. Or do i use the older/1st EXT4 Mod that Deamon posted? That one says i need to flash his kernal for it to work though in his post... so which EXT4 Method?

Mammon... Please update your instructions for install on the original post, when you can. I haven been searching threw 30+ pages of reply to try to figure this out, and trying to avoid asking...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Your kidding right? Does DK28 modem files ring a bell on all Froyo roms? Odin back to DI18 and then add DK28 modem. Then you can flash a custom DK28 leaked rom.

Everything seems to be running peachy fine after ug to ext4, bonsai 1.1.3, and adding journal mod. Getting 1819 to 1891 test runs in Quadrant at 1 Ghz clock speed. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
If u want to avoid the cwm3 then use the flashable zip method by dameon87...skip flashing the kernel and do randy_t's no journal mod (if you want) and then install bonsai 1.1.3..it has the kernel included so no need for the extra flash
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
If you already have the DK28 modem this should work. However you want to make sure you wipe where needed, right before flashing the rom. Also Coming from 1.0.4 be very careful with restoring data. Dont restore any apk's and only restore data for apps you really want it. The more you restore the more chance of errors. Also, I have personally had way too many problems with titanium and wont use it anymore. Love it, but it just causes too many bugs. The only even close I have found is mybackup pro. I have some issues with it, but far less than with tit.

Arguably you dont technically have to install cw 3, but you might as well, sooner rather than later all roms will need it.

Guys, I have a weird problem...

everytime I restart the phone (shut it off and turn it on) I'm loosing all my apps! I have to redownload them from the market...

Any help with this? It's a major bug for me, and shouldn't be happening for sure

Oh ****, think I bricked the phone!

After having the non apps after reboot problem, I did a reinstall and then imstartedngettingnrandom reboots about every 3 mins.

Did anotherninstall, but this time, I also formatted system besides cache and data...

Now no matter what I do, I'm stuck at the sanding screen. I tried another wipe of all items and a restore back to fresh root. No go...

Please help :(

I'll start a new bricked thread in general I guess :(

You may have a corrupted fs, for you, I think its better to wipe wipe wipe and reflash the rom, be careful about restoing from nandroid backups.

People!!!! If your phone powers on you have NOT bricked your phone!!!

With that said, when you feel you have screwed up and don't know what to do and the phone is unresponsive (not bricked) then your friend is called ODIN!!!!!!

Odin back to DK28 stock and start from there, I'm 100% sure it will be good in th end.

[Epic 4G Android Development] razorseal:
Corrupted fs? What's fs?

I have tried wiping several times then reinstalling but nothing...

The apps disappearing was weird, but on my 2nd and 3rd flash from wipe, the phone would randomly vibrate then restate every 3 mins.

4th attempt froze it...

I'll do Odin when I get home from a fresh dk28, but I might give nebula

a try now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I think I will just wait for Randy and Mammon's next Bonzai release (V1.1.4) before I decide to jump on the EXT4 + no-journal bandwagon. While some are having great success with it, I'm seeing others having lots of problems as well, so I'll hold off til everything is stable.

And razorseal, fs = filesystem. If you odin back to a stock ROM, you should be fine. That will restore everything including your filesystem, back to RFS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
fs= File System

Skip the wiping and do what I suggested a few posts back. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] razorseal:
Ok that's what I'll do when I get home. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
quick question for anyone. its a noob one too

I am playing with Cyanogen now and got 2350 in quadrant

Bonsai is the best ROM i have tried but what is "different" about CM, is it not really a ROM or something

Sorry if that doesnt make sense.

If I had to guess CM is all AOSP or something and Bonsai and the rest are ROMs off Sprint FroYo leaks
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
well first off I want to welcome randyT. next I want to say that I wanted to be brave, so i messed with a whole bunch of the libs, and well some worked some didnt. anyways I scewed hings up to the point where even when I reflashed some things were still there. Well I cleared my sd card, then odin back to stock dk28, then I flashed cw3 put on bansai 1.1.3, then rebooted into the cw went to advance and reboot recovery, then i flashed randyT's new ext4-nojournal zip, and reflashed bansai 1.1.3 and set everything up from there. well ive been on the same battery for abou 16 hours and im still at 85% battery. Randy you are a genius that new script is the shiznit!!!!!! i am very glad we have you and if you would like me to test anything for you just pm me. seriously thank you though for the new ext4-nojournal zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Just wanted to thank randy t and others cause I finally got the no mod journal working. It took me a couple goes with it and now im good. Also now that I have no journal can I still usr quick boot? I trued it last night and then got a nunch of fc when it.booted back up.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Is there a way to test if no journal mod is installed? I installed the one that wipes all data, installed midnight rom, then restored my data. I chose restore and not advanced restore though. What's the difference?

What are the benefits of no journal mod exactly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
yes you can check. the difference between restore and advanced restore is advanced restore lets you pick what you want to restore. restore does everything. if you want to check to see if you have no journaling, do this: adb shell tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl9 -- will show the tuning settings for that filesystem. If journaling is disabled, you will NOT see an entry for "Journal inode. journaling inode if enabled is approx like the first couple from the bottom. if you dont see "journal inode" you are good to go. if you see it try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Thanks for the reply. Can I do that is a terminal emulator or do need my pc? Im not at home that's why I ask.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ochuni3:
FEEDBACK: was using the rom for about 12 hr with no issues today in the morning the phone got stuck and i did a battery pull, once it restarted email got corrupted and soon after that a bunch of programs started getting corrupted and forceclosing
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
yes you can use terminal to do it. just dont use the adb shell then. first type "su" and hit allow and then type: tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl9

notice- the command i told you to use has to be typed exactly like that. notce there is a space between tune2fs and -l and also between -l and /
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
how is it working now? i had this happen to me when i used quickboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] asapelectric:
This is with no journal mode?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Getting an unknown option error when typing that in terminal emulator. -l is an L right? Kinda hard to tell on the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ChAkADroid:
I would like to say that I'm new here, but not new to Android Development. I'm loving this ROM. Great and fast.

Only issue I have is that when in contacts, the BACK BUTTON does not work. You must hit home to get out of contacts. Has this issue been directed/resolved?

Other than that, it's a great ROM. Thank you for your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Yes they are L as in larry. Make sure you have the spaces in between the things I told you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jerbeck24:
you're typing a lowercase l right? Not an uppercase L?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Yes I am typing in a lowercase l

I noticed a poster above said that he ran quadrant and got near 1700 after confirming no journal was installed. I just ran it and got 1669. If that helps.

I am currently running midnight rom 2.7 btw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jerbeck24:
Yeah, that was me that posted that...I was running in the low 1500s before the no journaling mod. I'm running Bonsai 1.1.3 when I got that. midNIGHT also runs extremely well for me, basically getting the same quadrant scores as I am with Bonsai. I'm going to see how fast my phone is running, but I'm getting some weird error and my phone just started boot looping. Something about my com.process.media needed to force close constantly. Did a battery pull and now I'm looping...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jerbeck24:
Quick question...With the EXT4 and the no journaling mods, do you need to install them ever again? Once you run them, do they stay whether you switch ROMs or not? Or do you need to install them each time you switch ROMs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Uthman:
hi, im using the 01/03/2011 release of bonsai. this is the first and only custom rom ive tried on my epic, though im not new to the scene on other android devices.

i wanted to know, has anyone else been able to establish a gps signal / location using this rom? ever since i flashed it, i havent once ever been able to get a gps location. the release notes have some mention of gps patches / fixes in previous releases, but it seems to still be very broken to me..

besides that though, excellent rom. nice font selection, theme. speed is incredible, battery life is a little over 2x the stock epic rom. very nicely done. gps is a must for me though, as i have no sense of direction. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Fresh install on ext4, working fantastic.

Anyone else unable to delete email in the default mail application though? I am able to send items to the "trash" folder, but if I select the checkbox next to messages from my inbox and click "delete" is says "messages deleted" but they never actually go anywhere. If I'm viewing the mail and click "delete" it will actually delete the message though.

[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I have always had a working GPS with the Bonsai ROMs. I would suggest after you ODIN to stock DK28, be sure to get a GPS lock before flasing a ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
since this is your first custom rom on the epic I would suggest finding one of the gps threads. I had gps issues when I first switched from 2.1 roms to 2.2 (along with a lot of other people). By following the instructions on the GPS threads I have had great GPS ever since.

I don't remember all steps, but you go back to di18 and get a gps fix then go from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
If I type "tune2fs -l/dev/block/stl9" w/o putting a space b/w "-l" and "/dev" I recreate an error that spits out "unknown option -- /usage:" So it may be that you are not typing it in correctly. It has to be: tune2fs^-l^/dev/block/stl9(^ meaning to place a space).

Quick question, is there a command that will copy the output, cuz I noticed musclehead84 was able to paste his after running the above command?....EDITED:Also what does the Inode Size mean? w/ the Mod I get 128 but w/o the Mod the size is 256.

wifi problem

First off, I love Mammon's. Been using for awhile now and it's everything I would have ever done myself and more.

That said, ever since 1.1.1 my WiFi support has disappeared. Of the 5-10 places I frequent where I always use WiFi, I can see the networks, but never connect and it gets stuck in a scanning/connecting/disconnected loop.

I tried Odin'ing back to a stock DK28 (twice) and fresh installing Mammon's. No go. In fact, even stock DK28 wifi didn't work. I've never had this issue with DK28 up until the 1.1.1 so I can't figure out what is wrong.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried searching the forums, but the DK28 odin was the best answer I could find. The rest of the issues with WiFi seem to be related to spotty connections or slower speeds, this is a complete lack of connection at all.

okay so hoping someone can help me. I've never had a problem in my epic b4 ext4. i odin'd to dg27. let the sprint servvers update me to di18. odin'd the pit and modem to dk28. installed root via cwm 3.0.0.5. booted into clockwork. it ran its script. installed bonsai 1.1.3. rebooted into recoverry, rebooted recov into older cwm. installed the no journal script. installed bonsai again. i can boot up but when it loads the click android to start i can clicck it but it wont go any further. any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I read some pages back that Randy t said once you have it installed it stays with you. I'm pretty sure that is what he said. With ext4 that stays you just have to make sure the rom is ext4 compatible. Hope that helps.

I would check your superuser settings. Fairly easy to hit deny by mistake and not notice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] optmsprim2:
Had the exact same thing happen to me, but I figured it was because I was coming from 1.0.4 and forgot to wipe anything :o

I know it seems simple, but are you sure you wiped cache and dalvik? After a 3X wipe and wiping the caches I haven't had any issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Fix for what? FC's is not a universal issue, mine and many others are working fine. I would suggests reflashing or using odin...One thing about the asop lock, it does have any issue where it cause the phone to reboot when used with this ROM but only if you are using the lock from the OP of that thread. You have to use the lock that RaiderRep posted somewhere in that thread, using the search tool will get you to it, but again, it fixes reboot issues that this ROM was getting with the asop, not FC's, as far as I know.

Def check your root permissions. Its very possible you may have lost it somewhere along the way, or it may even be just a matter of superuser permissions as someone else has already suggested.

I too am seeing a huge reduction im my DL speed, but just for today. I don't believe its related to the ROM cuz for the past few days I've been averaging b/w 700-800kbps but today I've been in the low 300kbps. Last night I was even getting 1689kbps which I've never seen off of 3G before, but again it def has to do with Sprint as to why its so low today, IMO.

Ok here is my install Guide for Mammon’s EXT4 1.1.3 with Clockwork 3.0.0.5. After i have failed 5+ Times! (This guide assumes you have used ODIN and CWR at least once to flash a rom/backup data and is as simple as i can think to make it.)

1.	ODIN back to fresh DK28

2.	Place Bonsai4All_v1.1.3.zip and Randy_T’s No Journaling Mod onto your SD card.

3.	Turn on USB Debugging, and then run Install Clock Work Recovery 3.0.0.5

4.	Then power down phone and boot into CW Recovery with 3 buttons. Or use 4 button death grip from Operating system. (both volume buttons, camera, and power button)

5.	CW 3.0.0.5 will now convert your file system over to EXT4. This will take a bit. When done phone will boot into CWR 3.0.0.5

6.	Then Wipe Data/Factory Reset 3X, Wipe Cache Partition 3X, Wipe Dalvik Cache 3X.

7.	Then Flash the rom Bonsai4All_v1.1.3.zip Phone will auto reboot and start unpacking/loading Bonsai rom when done. ( will take a few mins. )

8.	Enjoy 1.1.3 as is, or Continue for no Journaling Mod

---Steps after this are optional and just for the No Journaling Mod (Increases Speed by 15%, but small possibility to corrupt data down the line---

9.	Go back to CWR 3.0.0.5 main menu and go to Advanced, then Reboot Recovery. (This will take you to CWR 2.5.1.2, where you can flash older zips later if you need to also!!!.)

10.	Now in CWR 2.5.1.2, Do a Backup.

11.	Then Flash Randy_T’s No Journaling Mod. (still in 2.5.1.2)

12.	Without Rebooting, reinstall Bonsai 1.1.3 rom.zip. (still in 2.5.1.2)

13.	Still without rebooting, hit power button to go back to main CWR menu, then go to Restore->Advanced Restore and restore Data from the just made backup. (still in 2.5.1.2)

14.	Reboot and ENJOY Bonsai 1.1.3 with No Journaling Mod! :)

Why would you need this guide one might ask... Well I had to read 50+ pages of reply’s to figure it out for myself, and read many requests for something like this along the way. I had no problem flashing roms on the old File System, but no one made a fully detailed guide for the EXT4 file system. When all said and done you can flash oldrer zip files by going into CWR 3.0.0.5, then Advance-> Reboot Recovery, that will take you to 2.5.1.2 to flash all your older mods / zip files.

First let me say I think this is an amazing ROM and I greatly thank you for your efforts. Slick, fast, what more could you ask for.

I've got a sort of strange question for you guys though, So, I'm using this ROM on Crickets network with no problem other than one. Every time I go to boot it up I keep getting a network error. The funny thing is after I get the error I can get on Crickets 3G network just fine so obviously the error is coming from some sprint apk in the phone that keeps trying to connect to their network for verification. Any clue as to which apk this might be? I've already removed the browser (since I use dolphin anyway) as well as the cm-android.apk because I was getting a nag from that as well dealing with setting up my visual voicemail (which obviously I cant being on Cricket) Any advice or pointers on which apk to look for to remove this annoying network error nag would be greatly appreciated.

Again though, great job :)
