What is three size of the update zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
Why did it download as an htm file?

[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I agree with everything you said here. Flashing a new rom and/or kernel will always cause faster battery drain on the first charge cycle. If you flash with a full battery, this means you will drain to 0 faster than you would have previously, but once you charge fully back to 100 from 0 (or wherever your phone shut off) you will be able to more accurately determine what the expected battery life of a rom/kernel combination is.

does anyone know if you can change back to a stock font?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
just to be sure, i need to flash the new 3.5 mb update after i flash the 1.0.1 version? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] thehustleman:
Coming from EE, can I flash without wiping by using the non-wipe version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
The non wipe update is for folks who already flashed version 1.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Anyway to check to see if it installed properly? Other than the better quadrant score? Thanks

Awesome work..I got 1786 on first run..1850 on 2 tests after
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Ok. w/o journal mod I get 1600 to 1716 on Quadrant. With journal mod I get 1760 to 1882. So that seem good, but I also noticed while running Quadrant that the fps second seemed less consistant. They jumped up and down and seemed more jerky. Anyone else?

Also I have been staying with cwm 2.5.1.2 as I currently see no advantage to going to CWM3. I am able to put my custom mods currently and still do the latest Bonsai. Any one have good reasons to swtch to cwm3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
Its a bigger number?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Hmmm. Thats not a really good reason to switch to cwm3. LOL

on a seperate issue I notice when going from Bonsai 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 and install the same apps that my internal storage usage goes from 300 to 400 MB used. Anyone else experience this? Or know why its doing this. Not sure which one was right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sean Hicks:
I got a similar score. I'm very happy with this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
The reason to switch is because all of the devs are switching. in 1 to maybe 2 gens of updates this will be your standard.

This is also why your not seeing a final build from Sprint yet, the devs here making advances by leaps and strides and they haven't even started to play with gingerbread yet. So the big boys are watching to see what were up to. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Thanks.kenvan but I dont see anything bold in that script.you pasted. Could you please try again when you get a chance? Thank you. Never mind now that I'm on my computer i see the bold

hey i just installed the new ext4 no journaling but now my touchwiz (the app/launcher) force closes to the point where i cant use anything.. had to get a new launcher and delete touchwiz.apk from /system/app...

Is the mod intended for 1.1.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Just installed the no journaling mod. Install went fine, rebooted cw3 into the correct version.

As soon as my phone loaded, got a fc on google sync. Once.

Then for the first time ever got a low space warning. Phone is showing only 24 megs free. Didn't change anything else. Not really sure how much was free before. Is this normal our happening to anyone else?

[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I realize that that will become standard with future ROMs, etc. But currently I see no reason to switch.

You really think that Sprint/Samsung are going to change there plans based on these ROMs and thats holding off the Froyo update? That would be neat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Yes, I have mentioned losing space a few times over last week or so, but have not recieved any information back from anyone.

I notice it when updating ROM versions. Going from Bonsai 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 (I have done this twice) I lost 150MB (went from 300-450) the first time and this last time when I did it I lost 100MB (went from 300-400). Not sure why I would be losing internal phone storage. Either the last ROM or this ROM version is incorrect. Seeing as I've got two different amounts upgrading to 1.1.3, I am thinking that the 1.1.3 ROM is giving me false readings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
what the hell, I have 1.1.3 w/ ext and the jorunal MOD. I am only getting 1500 in quadrant, Im taking my phone back to the sprint store :D :D :D :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
Lol make sure your processor is at 1000MHz
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I did see this problem on my phone in testing and I don't have a good explanation as to why other than some file corruption existed that could not be repaired.

What happened is that when the filesystem check runs on the new Ext4 filesystems, it moves any file that has some problem with filesystem storage info into the lost+found directory.

I'm guessing this happened on your /data filesystem. If you can get on the phone either with adb shell or some other terminal access, you can do the following...

WARNING: this is not for the light hearted

cd /data/lost+found

ls -l

shows a bunch of files and directories that are named some combo of #123456. These are the old files that were moved there. All you can do is delete them as it would be more work to figure out what they are than to reflash back to stock and start over.

rm \#[0-9]*

That will probably return some errors about some of these files being directories.

rm -r \#[0-9]*

Be very careful with the above command and make sure you are still in the lost+found directory before executing it. If that command returns an error, you are stuck. You have solved your out of space problem, but you must have some files that are not removable. That was my issue.

Phone seems to work fine in that state but the file that cannot be removed is taking up space.

Best solution is to ODIN back to stock DK28, reformat and reflash. That will rebuild these filesystems and start fresh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
This is interesting. Would you be able to see these files from Root Explorer. When I go to that folder it is empty from Root Explorer from the phone. Also in my case if I were to Wipe and CWM Restore my Bonsai 1.1.2 Backup, It would go back to the correct storage amount. Would this be normal if it were corrupt system files?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I would expect to be able to see these files with Root Explorer, although I have not used that app.

You might also check /system/lost+found and /cache/lost+found

If you are not seeing them, then you will need to find a way to get to the command line on the phone to convince me they are not there.

The problem is that the backup for data likely has these files backed up as well. If you wipe and restore data, then you are back to that point, but possible that the installation of new roms is finding more bad files in the filesystem check which is causing the growth.

I can attest to the fact that it was happening on my phone. I'm currently sitting on stock DK28 waiting for 1.1.4 to come along.

Good news is I think we have learned a lot about some of these filesystem issues...

The thought occurs to me that you might be able to run the ext4-formatter.zip which will destroy all data on /system, /cache and /data, but would create clean filesystems. I actually have a new version of that ready to go that will do the no journal mod at the same time it creates new filesystems. I cannot test it right now but will send it along if you want to be a guinea pig. I am 99% sure it is ready to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
I did not see this issue when I went from 1.0.4 to 1.1.2 then to 1.1.3. I have also re-flashed 1.1.3 twice without this issue afterward.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I can get to a command prompt, but I am in the middle of trying to restore data differently to see if that helps. I thought about running the ext4-formatter again too, but have not tried that yet. I am trying to find away to restore my apps/data without reinstalling them all separately again as I have a lot of them.

Yes I am willing to try the new ext4-nojournal-formatter. Let me know if you want me to try.

Personally at this point my phone is getting about 1700 on Quadrant without no journal mod. I was getting about 150 more with no journal mod. I did notice that while getting higher scores that the Quadrant was jerkier (fps were less consistent). Do you think it will be better for the life of the phone with no journal mod as some say?

Previously I Wiped and flashed Bonsai 1.1.3 ext4 then did and CWM Advanced data restore. (which worked when I went to Bonsai 1.1.2 ext4) But I lost 100MB space. This time I Wiped and flashed Bonsai 1.1.3 ext4 and did a Titanium Restore of my apps (no data) and lost maybe 25 MB (actually maybe not, as it looks like I installed a few extra apps, so maybe this fixed it for me)

Oh and is Bonsai 1.1.4 coming soon as you implied?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
with?

btw did you get me email?
[Epic 4G Android Development] komplexicpnoi:
Pro-tip : didnt realize u had to go into CMW3 first to do a backup before ext4 is setup.. ran the bat file so i assumed afterwards i was good.. just now finding this out.. hopes this helps for people wondering if ext4 is running.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
When you open quadrant go to System Information and scroll down a bit, you'll see Current Proc speed, Max proc speed, and Min Proc speed. Also, I did get them sorry I've been super busy. Thank you so much! I actually had a few of them already (told you I love minimalistic backgrounds!) and I'm thinking about using one of them. Can't remember which, I actually haven't even had a chance to get them on my phone yet lol Thanks again man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
You might also be able to look for lost+found files in the clockworkmod directory on the sd. If you delete the #12345 files from there, they would not get restored if you use that method to do the data restore.

I do believe that the best thing for the phone is to turn off journaling. I also run a Linux laptop with SSD with these settings. It gets pounded on for dev work etc. and is the fastest computer I own from a filesystem perspective.

The 25MB growth came after the flash of the no_journal mod? If so, then I think the problem may have come earlier.

I know that Mammon is working hard on getting another rom released. No idea when.

good luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sean Hicks:
I have about twice the normal occupied internal (phone) storage. I'm not sure why, but it's fast and smooth none the less
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Can someone pls help. I booted Into cwm 2.5.1.2 to flash the no journaling. It took it a couple mins to complete and it said it was successful. I then hit reboot system and it wouldn't leave the first samsung bootup screen. It was just stuck there so I booted back to recovery and had to do a restore. Anybody know how I can get this to work. I tried to install this mod on the last version and it wouldn't install. I would really live to get this to work. Any solutions?? Thanks to all
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I cant find any files under lost+found in any folder. I will look under a terminal later.

25MB turned into 50MB after adding my data back to my apps my phone is kinda slower (jumpy) too. And no that I don't currently have the no journal mod on so this has nothing to do with that. Its just a matter of putting Bonsai 1.1.3 on and then adding my apps/data. I think I will have to try to just install each app from the market. But maybe I will wait for 1.1.4

I just got 1772 on Quadrant w/o no journal mod which is fast enough for me. So for me the only reason I will install the no journal mod again is for phone life.

If I am using the journal mod, does ROM Manager's reboot to recovery qualify as a correct shut down to get to CW, as far as data and journal mod is concerned?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
The only thing i can think of thats missing is the 1600 mhz overclock that the old xtreme kernal allowed. Combine that power with this rom and watch your epic go BOOM!

Just popped 1884 on Quadrant!
[Epic 4G Android Development] aal1:
I have a class 10 wintec 16gb sd card, blanked then loaded with just bonsai .3 and cw3.x, was getting quadrants about 1600-1675 tops (average).

Ran the new no-journaling from page 153 (flashed with quick boot to recovery mode which got me old CW) and now am getting quadrant of 1871, 1858, then 1875 (highest).

3D FPS hits 66-70 a cpl times but hovers around 56-57 fps during the orange planet test, 39-40fps with dna helix test.

checked system info the first time i used task manager closed all level 1 and 2 ram apps then ran quadrant, it was at 200. ran it a second time and checked system info and the cpu went to 800. and stays there for subsequent tests...so you might want to run it twice or three times before you post scores )

did get a couple force closes for the first time since on this new rom - process.com.google.process.gapps :(

just for a quick compare, I grabbed my newphews epic (he adamantantly runs 2.1 eclair still lol, has stock class 2 card) - loaded quadrant after task killing open apps and he had similar fps in the video tests. However, his scores were 945, 908, and 924 running at 400 according to the system info screen.

Update : Took the same nephew's epic from above and did the following :

odin pit + modem

flash cw 3.x, ext4

wiped sd card

flashed bonsai .3

flashed journal mod

loaded launcher pro,quikboot, closed all apps.

ran quadrant got 1605, 1630, 1654 (highest) with similar fps as above

really the only difference from my epic is he didnt have class 10 card...just food for thought

Hope that info helps.....

I am curious.....I wonder if moving swap/activating swap with a2sd is worth it then ?? what do you guys think?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kush621:
so if CWM 3.0.0.5 is currently installed are you supposed to have the ability to get back into 2.5.1.2?

i just installed 3.0.0.5 and when i go to advanced-->reboot recovery i get errors. "unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]

the same thing happens if i thry to do it in quick boot, it goes right to 3.0.0.5

any help would be great

Updated 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.

Realized that I forgot to run the ext formatter. Re-ran the rom install, ran the formatter, and reran the ROM.

Added The Ext no journal mod in as well.

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: 14.052

Quadrant: 1872 (high score of 1882 Running CPU at Min 1000/Max 1000)

Data Transfer: No noticable Change from last testing

Wifi: 12.63Mbps/3.59Mbps

4G: 3.16 Mbps/.55Mbps

3G: 0.8 Mbps/ .49Mbps

Battery: Re-Testing

Starting Percentage: 84%

Ending Percentage:74%

Estimated Battery Life: <16.8 Hours

Performance Testing/ bugs: In Process

Other Impressions:

I am duly impressed with this rom so far (especially after I caught my own self inflicted error ). Responsiveness is right on track and I am not seeing any discernable lag in screen transfers. Battery Tests appear to put this on the high end of battery conservation. First impressions definatly puts this in the daily driver category.

I will put this through my stress test tonight to see if anything breaks. This is a new test and this will be the first rom I put through it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] us3rX:
Two things, I like the TW Launcher, but I get force close errors every now and then.

Other thing my gps still doesn't work... Wasn't sure if there was something else I needed to do to get it working.

[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Advanced -> reboot recovery is supposed to reboot into 2.5.1.2 fron cw 3

Works for me. As for how to fix your problem, no sure, just offering the answer I have. GL
[Epic 4G Android Development] kush621:
yeah it's not, just getting errors, i can't really do anything while in CWM 3 except rebooting without getting errors
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Sounds like time for a full odin to dk28 and start over with the one click etc.. No fun, but almost always fixes everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kush621:
yeah that's what i figured. now if i want to use the no journaling mod, do i have to install CWM 2.5.1.2? and how does that work if CWM 3.0.0.5 is out? im a little confused on that part
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
If everything is working right you boot to cw 3 then advanced then reboot recovery and you reboot into cwm 2.5.1.2. Then you flash from there. Thats what i did. So you can use the new cwm one click with 3.0.0.5 with no worries. Not needed yet, but soon it will be a must have.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kush621:
that is if everything is working correctly. I'll give it a try

So after the journaling mod touchwiz started force closing all the time....i switched to the gingerbread launcher and deleted tw3.0 apk...now my wi-fi wont connect at all to my network.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Hey do you, or anyone for that matter, know if anything W/O edify scripts can still be flashed by rebooting recovery from CWM v3.0 into CWM v2.5.1.2? Have not flashed CWM 3 yet, being that I use apps flashed through zips, that are currently still w/o edify scripts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
From what I have learned, I think anything that needs to be flashed in cwm v2x can be though this. But I dont know this for a fact. I am not a dev, just what I have gathered from all the many threads in the dev section.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kush621:
so 3.0.0.5 installed properlly (i think) but if i go to advanced then reboot recovery, it gets stuck a the Samsung screen. what am i doing wrong?!?!?!?!!?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
No doubt, thanks for the feedback...one last question, have you come across any mentioned benefits of flashing CWM 3, beside having it automatically convert RFS to EXT4(if thats correct)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
I am not sure. At this point though I would back up my sd card and reformat it. I have had many weird problems go away after doing this in the past.

None really. Except the fact that soon every ROM / custom zip on the site will need it once everyone switches to /edify and doesnt feel like supporting two updates per zip.

I havE the new cwm3 installed and I use quick boot to boot into 2.5.1.2. If you are on ext4 when you get into recovery just go advanced and go to reboot recovery. That will take you to 2.5.1.2. If you don't have ext4 then you can't get it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:

what could i be doing wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
I can't seem to make 1.1.3 work for me. I get the boot loop errors upon flashing. Removed the battery like someone mentioned which solved that. After that, it seems like every program on the phone FCs at one point or another. If I reboot the phone, I loose all my apps. I read someone mention that restoring using Titanium can cause this, but I don't really want to lose saved data within programs just to get a shiny new ROM. If anyone figures out a workaround or fix, please let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
so is ROM Manager a proper option to get into CW? With the whole journaling thing. I used to just 3 finger salute but I know I need to "properly" shut my phone down now
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Have you tried an app called quick boot? If I want.to get into cwm3 I u do it the manual way. If I want into the.older cwm I use the app.quick boot and it takes me right.to 2.5.1.2. did you install ext4 before you flashed cwm3.or did you just.flash cwm3? The reason I ask is I installed ext4 before I flashed cwm3 so if you just went right to cwm3 thats prolly why u cant get to it cause you never got the hack version on your phone. Let me if quickboot works and what steps you did to get ext4?

If I have a CWM Nanroid Backup BEFORE applying the No Journal MOD, then later I restore my Backup, do I also remove the No Journal MOD by doing this? Or does that stick until you format the FS or do an ODIN?
