Did you read the changlog? If so you would know that it is compatiable with 3.0.0.5. Did you also read this thread? People are having problems and for done reason starting with scratch solves the issue. Read a couple pages back acs see what other uses did to install my theme

Ok in directions it states that if I rooted with older CWM that I need to reroot with CWM3. Then I am supposed to reboot into older CWM. How do I do that? After I reroot with CWM3.0.0.5, I can't figure out how to reboot into the older one. I click on reboot recovery and it just hangs on the Samsung screen.

I figured it out. I had to install Bonsai first, then apply the mod, then install bonsai again.

If I wanted to start from scratch with this rom is there anything special that needs to be done differently?

Reason I ask is I tried this eariler today and after rebooting following the install of my apps, many of them "disappeared".

Not sure what I did wrong, although I did start moving off many of the apps to the sd card prior to rebooting the phone. Do I need to reboot before doing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DiGi760:
So I had a weird issue with v 1.1.4 leafless with the theme. Leafless ran just fine until I got around to applying the theme today. It would load android, wait a second, jump back to the boot animation and load android again. It just kept doing the loop. After a wipe and reflash, it seems to be working normally now. I don't know what went wrong the first time I flashed the theme.

Does anyone know what the app "Uploads" does? I've flashed the ROM about 3x yesterday trying to get rid of this message but "The application UPLOADS(process com.google.android.apps.uploader) has stopped.." pops up every time I boot up the phone(and its the only time see it, does not happen at random times). I don't have any issues whatsoever while the phone is running, but am just wondering what that app is/does just for piece of mind.
[Epic 4G Android Development] platan78:
I have followed the instructions with no journaling and kernal patch as well and everything is working fine. But 2 things I have noticed....

1. When go to settings and look under about phone the build number states 1.1.3.

2. When I go to settings I now cannot find the accounts and syncing setting anymore.

Other than that the phone is working fine, and my apps even restored and work.

What can bring this about?

1.1.4 update cleaned my phone. :( I didn't wipe, why did it need a full wipe? I was upgrading from the previous Bonsai version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I see a lot of talk about formatting the sdcard to maximize performance, now when formatting what file system are you usuing? Ext4 or fat32?

And if its fat32, (question to mammon and randy or any other dev trolling this page) does our phone support ext4 on the

sdcard as a native fs for apps stored on it or does it have to be fat32?

Background: This question comes for me from the app2sd days on my G1; I had to create an ext2 fs so the apps could be installed on and a fat32 for pics, music, etc..., I'm wondering if the segment where the apps get installed to the sdcard in Froyo could be rederected to mount on an ext4 partition on the the sdcard and maybe boost performance even more this way.

Bonsai 1.1.4 with no journal mod test

Bonsai 1.1.4 with no journal mod test:

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 3.0.05 then flashed no journal mod then flashed rom. (Note I did add Emotionless Beast theme Prior to testing)

Added Quadrant, Linpack, GPS Test, xtreme labs 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:13.87

Quadrant: 2086

Data Transfer:

Wifi: 11406.4/969 Kbit/s

4G: 4634/1562 Kbit/s

3G: 972/057 Kbit/s

Battery:

Starting Percentage: 96%

Ending Percentage: 84%

Estimated Battery Life: < 24 hours

Other Notes/ Impressions:

This is a great daily driver ROM . Tested several games and video as well. No issues with video playback but games using faient system need to be run on the internal memory to remove lag. Using spare parts and increasing the transition times to the fast setting really make this rom snappy. Media scanning also appears to run faster than previous version of this rom but that is an impression not a timed metric.

Note About emotionless beast V9. I love the miren browser included in this theme it is a great addition and removes the checkerboarding typical to DK28

Minor issue: I noticed when updating google maps that the system seems to have an issue syncing and it took three attempts to install. System would say starting download and not move to the next step.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I'm living the miren (miui) browser and that is why I included. In future releases I still be adding it to system/app. I just wanted to leave it in data/app for easy uninstall. I'm working on theming the new version.

The synching tour talking about happens to me on any fresh install of any rom. It's been happening to me since di18

would you mind posting your thoughts of my theme in my thread? so I can add your thoughts to my op. Your impresson of things mean alot to me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] juise:
Thanks for the awesome work. After looking at the available EXT4 ROMs yours was the closest to what I wanted. Kudos on releasing it in a non-themed version too. All I had to do was add a % battery icon, and replace the start-up & shutdown customizations.

This is the first ROM I've ever bothered with on my Epic! previously I was just running a rooted stock DK28. I'm very happy so far.

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I recommend that you apply them. We are improving performance through tuning things like Ext4 performance.

If you are already running CWM3, then you can start with the ext4-format-nojournal, then the ROM, then the kernel patch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
I absolutely LOVE this ROM!!

I have tried Quantum and midNight. While they were good, they simply do not compare to this. It is fast and stable. I get decent quadrant, linpack and smart benchmark scores (at least twice that of eclair and consistently higher than the other ROMs). But the true measure of speed is less quantitative. This ROM simply FEELS much faster! Every tap is met with instant (or near instant) response. No waiting for anything! In fact, I was rather surprised the scores weren't much, much higher.

The support for this ROM (particularly during this upgrade to 1.1.4) is phenomenal! You gentlemen are an inspiration. Thank you for all your hard work!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Applepie2649:
Hi I would like to upgrade to this rom from Bonsai4All v1.1.2 ext4 and the 1.1 no journal mod, but i just want to make sure i got everything rite. I currently have CWM 2.5.1.2. What i read on pass thead is that i don't need to upgrade to CWM 3 to get this rom.

1. copy ext4-format_nojournal-1.1.zip and Bonsai4All_Leafless_v1.1.4 to your SD card

2. QuickBoot to CWM 2.5.1.2 and install ext4-format_nojournal-1.1.zip

3. Flash Bonsai4All_Leafless_v1.1.4

4. Here the part I'm Confuse

RESTOREDATA:

Select Advanced Restore -> Data

Allow completion of Data restore

Reboot

So if i follow the direction i should choose backup and restore > Advanced Restore > choose the backup rom which is 1.1.2 > Restore data > restore boot.

Just a reminder that i didn't upgrade the CMW 3, i don't know what is the edify script so i don't want to upgrade to that yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Spent some time down in Cocoa Beach for 2-3 weeks trying out my EXT4 setup. Finally came home and decided to start from scratch after seeing that my EXT4 system was screwed with "dirty with errors" showing up. :mad:

So went back to DI18 -> DK28 modem -> to clean install (Thanks Randy T).

Now getting Quadrant of 2137 and 996 BOGOMips. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Probably not, but it's FUN! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Yes you have the.correct steps. The part you are confused on is after you apply the.no journal mod it totally wipes everything and then you flash the Tom so when it boots you have to set everything up again. If you make a backup before you apply the no journal mod and the update after you flash the mod and the rom yoh go to advanced restore and select data so you have all your data restored. If you don't have alot of apps I wouldn't restore the data. I would start fresh and redoenload things. I first that cause I read where some people have problems after restoring their data. Good luck and I hoped I helped you out. Oh and as far as the edify.script the cwm.version you have flashes both amend and edify. Cwm version 3 supports on edify scripts. So you don't have to update your cwm cause all of the flashing gets done in 2.5.1.2 anyways.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Yes, no journal means a lot less writes on your NAND meaning longer life. It also means less overhead which means better performance. Just note that this could (very rarely, but still possible) corrupt your data down the road but if you regularly make backups (nandroid or titanium or whatever), then there is no need to worry. It probably also means better battery life, though I haven't tested that.

Quadrant scores are useless and a totally irrelevant way of testing performance, we saw all the hacks you can do to trick it into insane scores. So don't judge your phone based on it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
okay thanks! just another quick question, if I flash, will google restore my conacts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] candypeart:
If you told the phone they were google contacts when you made (or imported them) then yes it can. (You can check by logging into your gmail account with a browser and clicking the 'contacts' selection and see if they are all there. Also contacts stored on google will have the google 'g' under the joined contacts entry on the contact when you bring it up.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
Yes I made sure that they are saved under google and not under phone.

My home button dont work.

Maybe I removed something needed for it to work?I just removed my usual apk's that I always remove,is Launcher2.apk needed for home button to work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
I don't have it installed either but I removed Launcher2.apk through SDX App Removal after flashing ROM w/ it included. Don't know if this info helps, but it does answer your question that it is not needed for the home button to work but it may have to be flashed with it, if that makes sense.

Okay so I followed directions for the install posted. Did all from cwm 2.5.1.2 using quik boot from previous rom. Installed the ext zip, then rom, then kernel. My problem was I decided to flash a theme zip before rebooting, then rebooted. Was stuck on boot forever with repeat vibrating. Rebooted into recovery and then reboot recovery to get to the oldest. Now it no longer goes into 2.5.x it only stays in 3.0.0.5.

I flashed the rom then kernel update again and was able to boot fine. My question is is there a way to check that the no journal mod is working?

Can the no journal mod be flashed with 3.0.5 i remember reading earlier that flashing from 3.0.0.5 and not 3.0.0.2 caused problems and did not stick for the no journal mod.

[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:
I agree with you... the directions are NOT clear and mysteryemotionz is not stating things quite accurately. I went back to stock 4 times with zero luck and then all of a sudden I did a three finger recovery boot into 3.0.0.5 (just like i did the previous 3 times) and the phone just started on its own to do a full backup all of the partitions upon which it finally quit giving me all of these error messages that it could not access the sd card. Then installed/flashed the no journal mod and then the Bonsai ROM inside of 3.0.0.5 and now I am getting 1906 on quadrant. Basically, I DID NOT follow the directions and everything worked. Yes, the no journal mod is sticking without following the directions currently being giving.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
So.... after doing the kernel mod, I can only get to CWM 3.0.0.5

That's great for this ROM, but there are mods I'd like to hit that are not ready for CWM3, some may never be.

Can I run OneClickRootCWM3 agai without f'ing up this ROM?

(I read through the recent posts, and search isn't returning anything for CWM on this thread. It must be SNAFU'd. So, I apologize if this has been asked before)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
You need to reread the steps. When you install Cwm the phone will reboot but your only hlafway through the process. The next time you do the three figer salute cwm will finish converting your system to ext4. This is what you saw. From there you install the no journal mod then without reboot you install bonzai 1.1.4. After bonzai install you do the Three finger salute again to install a theme of your choice. If you want emotionless beast use v9.

Don't blame us because you failed to comprehend the directions or the umteen re-explinations posted through the thead. Mysteryemotionz was simply trying to help peeps find answers on their own. Don't blame him for your falicies. The devs (though helpful) are not a help desk.

I've gotten past this by using the adb ext4 method and then flashing separate ext_nojournal.zip, but when I check tune2fs in terminal emulator, it always says under "file state - not clean". I am missing something by not using the ext4-format_nojournal-1.1.zip?
