This was probably the easiest flash i've ever done. The first was a Touch Pro 2.

So far, no problems at all. I had to install CWM3 cause my 2.0 version was not new enough, so that worked.

I then installed Bonsai from my SD card in CWM3 and it did its thing, and even to my surprise it looked like I just rebooted my phone WITHOUT a flash.

Looks identical to my DK28 flash. I mean I do see the circular batter icon, and it says bonsai in the about phone, but it looks just like it did before, and EVERYTHING so far that I can see is in tact. Even launcher pro loaded up and all of my homepage icons are there.

Seeing how it all went fine, and it looks like it did before I flashed, I feel like I should be seeing something. Extra apps, or something in the form of eye candy.

I still need to play around with the phone, but after the flash is there anything else recommended? I feel like I should be spending 4hrs getting everything to work like I had to do with my Touch Pro 2.

Amazing guys! I dont see why so many people have problems flashing the ROM. I followed all of the steps and ran into no problems. I didn't create my own steps or NOT read the install. I think if more people do this, they wouldn't be doing 15 unnecessary steps and screwing things up.

Looking at My EPIC in Wonder, Wondering... if it will be as usefull as my Mogul 6800

Just followed the install process http://code.google.com/p/bonsai/wiki/Install200 Phone seems to get hot near the camera, data seems down voice mail says "error V08"

I want to wipe and re-install as I heard some flashers like to make sure their phone is completely wiped data / factory reset and wipe cache partition in boot recovery mode, before the install of Bonsai ROM...In ClockworkMod Boot recovery now.. Should I wipe data factory reset? or backup and restore the stock rom then wipe? Ther is no uninstall page for wiki :( Thanks V
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I guess the point is that I don't believe it is the ROM that is causing your Market problems.

Have you tried uninstalling anything /data/app/Vending* or /data/app/com.android.vending* ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
The only thing accomplished by flashing back to stock is that you reflash the modem.

In the install process, we wipe and reformat everything else, so there is nothing accomplished by wiping, reflashing etc. just as the install instructions say.

It is possible that the phone will settle down. After a new flash, things like gallery and other apps scan for media, etc and do a fair amount of thumbnail building, etc. I have noticed that after fresh install.

Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend following the instructions. That is what they are for.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Virus:
hey im a newb to the epic but how do we tether for free
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
The "Leafless" ROM has very limited eye candy. Intended to be a solid base ROM to then customize with other themes, apps etc.

Mammon is working on the new version of the Bonsai Theme and I think it may be ready today or tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Sweet, i'll check it out when its done. I guess coming from a TP2 and NRG ROMs, you expect a whole new looking phone. That's how it was for the TP2.

Regardless, i'll be happy to have the phone the way it is, even with no theme. It has to be better than stock, and that's ALWAYS a plus. :D

As I said, yes. But on stock, the market works. To be honest, I didn't think it was the rom either, but I've done a lot and still can't get it working
[Epic 4G Android Development] vizionforever:
NOTE MY MOGUL IS, Hold down VOL-, Camera button, POWER BUTTON. to get to boot/ClockworkMod... Is this EPIC different hardware or version?

Thx for the reply, I did not know that those processes of clearing and wiping were automated from within the ClockworkMod Zip install, hopefully it settles down Voice mail pop up V08 has dissapeared, every time I go to browser it says no network connection then page loads up at least as fast as my mogul in the background ;)... If I switch back to stock is that going to brick my modem do I do anything special? thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
This is either for Randy or Mammon, I'm almost to 100% with my new theme working on Bonsai 2.0.1. The last part I'm stuck with is altering the dialertabactivity. This is essential to the theme because the dialer needs to be clear. I added my resources.arsc to your apk but didn't realize the call log mod was done and it force closes. I need to decompile the apk in the rom, change 1 line of xml and recompile it. The problem is I cannot get any file from the rom to trigger the dependency in apk manager. If you can assist me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
My guess is twframework-res.apk or phone.apk. Twframework is the dependency for Contacts.apk, so I would assume its the same for the dialer

FWIW, with unveiling of new Market site this week, and some strangeness with Google Apps accounts, and "primary account" on the phone, there may be some issues there as well.

I did finally sort that out for myself this week but again, have never had more than intermittent problems with downloads from Market.

Going to try this... from this thread; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931849

let you know how it goes...

"Worked!!!! Thanks to all.

The thing I did different was wipe each of these 3 times

--Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /sd-ext...

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

Data wipe complete

- Wipe cache partition

-- Wiping cache...

Formatting /cache...

Cache wipe complete.

Then went to Advanced

- Wipe Dalvik Cache

E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Dalvik Cache wiped.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Which apk did u insert the resources.arsc to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Dialertabactivity. It worked too, cleared the dialer like I needed but when you click on the logs it force closes. I realized I needed to just decompile the dialertabactivity included with bonsai and make my xml edit directly only the framework.jar file (I think is what I used on DK28) is not triggering apk manager. None of the files anywhere in bonsai are triggering it. I either need to know what dependency you used to mod it or ask you a HUGE favor, and that's to make my edit for me and shoot me the apk if you happen to have it already broke down inside apk manager.

Has anyone tried to install the myfiles.apk yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
No why don't you just use astro or something similar?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
Try logsprovider.apk as a dependency. I made my mod within the apk file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
No dice. Just to let you know I pulled every apk out the zip of the rom to my desktop and plugged each one in at a time. Nothing. Typed the path manually nothing.

I have to make my edit to Styles.xml. 1 line of code.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Ok say i start with stock froyo and run your flash in clockwork. You say not to wipe anything. So your update zip automatically take my rfs system and makes it ext as well as giving me the new clockwork?

Sorry if this question is been covered, im still studing up on rfs/ext froyo roms comparison and trying one that fits me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct, the ext4 zip does all the work :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Thanks you impaler, just what i needed to know, one more question probaly already know this but jsut in case:

if im d118 with a dk28 modem, can i just strait flash this rom and skip flashing the stock froyo rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. Most likely, but if you do and it goes wrong, at least you have ODIN to back you up ;) D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
What ext4 zip?

The install instructions are in my signature. That describes what you need to know. If there is something you don't understand about those instructions, please point it out so we can make them more clear.

There is NO ext4 zip required.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Well, ill just flash stock froyo then do this to be safe. Last question kinda weird.

Im thinking this next answer is yes.

If i flash froyo stock rom and b4 that i backed up clockwork, if i went to my back and hit restore would it take me back to eclair? Also once im ext on this froyo rom will my clockwork backup work to take me back to eclair or will i first flash the back to rfs zip then restore?

That will conclude my questions thanks for your help and quick reply, im just about to make the jump to froyo and want to make sure i can backup and revert back to eclair without odin, cause i dont trust odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Please follow the instructions.

You will need to apply CWM3. Link is in the instructions.

CWM3 will do the Ext4 conversion. Once that is complete, you can flash the Bonsai ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
You do have to be running a CWM 2.5.1.2 or higher for it to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I was just making sure that no wipe and this rom flash ext your system as well as flash the rom. I was shocked to see it do both. That is all i was asking?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Really, so then that must've changed in the last update. Because just a version ago, there sure was a zip ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I think that if you have DK28 modem it has worked for people. But I think coming fron stock they have said they have needed to flash twice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
I think this has been answered several times in the last 100 posts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Is the one from the one click root/recovery the right one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388 ?

Im just asking do i need to do the one click root then the one click new clockwork for ext b4 this? Or will this rom flash if im on froyo dk28 do the clockwork and ext4 for me with out doing the extra one click clockwork thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Once again, the Install instructions are your friend.

As the instructions say, if you have CWM 2.5.1.2 or later, then you can just flash the Bonsai ROM. No need for any upgrade to CWM3.

I assume that the CWM2 backup and restore would get you back to whatever you backed up...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
One more time...

Forget what you know...

Follow the INSTRUCTIONS

As others have pointed out. You may need to flash twice when coming from a stock ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Clockwork backs up everything but Tue kernel. So if you made a backup on eclair and flashed to dk28 then you could not use that backup to get back to eclair cause it's on different kernels. Just flash to dk28 and then root with cwm3 and then flash.bonsai rom. Sometimes coming from stock dk28 you will probably need to flash it twice.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Ok then thank you for a staright answer everyone is telling me different things.

And if i restore data only in clockwork after doing all this will it restore data ir will titanium restore it better?

Thats the last question for updating to this.

Thanks for everyone that responded and sorry for asking these questions, im sure that have been covered and for that i apologize.

Everyone have a nice day. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I'm sure you could use Titanium to restore some things, but as you probably already know, you should never use Titanium to restore everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
So i can i restore all my apps and app saves and what not? is titanium good for system data and apps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
The zip is god. you run cwm3 from the pc it installs and formats to ext 4. POwer off 3 finger grip to clockwork and You flash the rom. The rom zip backs it all up, installs, and restores. That's it 2 flashes.

I was a little disappointed in my 3G SpeedTest results of 1108DL/559UL, because it wasn't as quite as good as a test I ran a few weeks ago, where I got 1572DL/653UL. But I thought "oh well, its comparable".

Then I realized I was comparing it to a wi-fi test! That's when it hit me that I hadn't turned on wi-fi all day! (nor had I felt the need for speed that I usually do on 3G)

Loving this ROM!

(I don't know that you did anything, but I'll give you guys credit just the same)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Cool thought so, so i run the new clockwork 3.0 or what ever version it is on the computer and it exts it for me and gives me the new clockwork, then flash the rom and it backs up and flashes, awesome!! thats what i wanted to hear.

Now if i were to back to eclair via odin or flashables, how would backup my apps and everything also when i update to froyo from eclair does it delete any of my apps or anything?'

Thank u :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Then here's another one for you. I am currently using 2.0.1 with the Frozen Emotionless Beast theme that was updated for compatibility. The phone is as quick and responsive as anything else I've ever had on there, with the exception of a couple of the heavily modified DI18 rom/kernel combos that had overclock capability. Additionally, I am now getting better battery life (and have been since I flashed 2.0.0 and made some small tweaks to my application usage) than ANY rom i have ever had on my Epic, including the undervolted DI18 rom/kernel combos. I used to keep my Epic's screen around 10% brightness (because, tbh, that's all I require in any light b/c the screen is so damn good), but I've jacked it to 25% just for kicks. Great job guys (and I haven't even created a swap partition yet to play with).
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
In general, Titanium should be used sparingly. It's one of those things you hope you never have to use. I have it set to auto backup everything at 4:00 AM everyday, but I only use it to restore app data for games and a couple other things. Occasionally, an app gets pulled from the Market, and Titanium is good for restoring those also.

I would recommend Appbrain for backing up your apps. It backs them up online, and you can reinstall them by simply logging in to your account after a ROM flash or factory reset.

But once your up and running with Bonsai, you won't have to worry about any of this, because each subsequent version will automatically backup and restore everything for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Cool thanks for the tip. Im done here later!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I actually find TB to be pretty reliable, provided you have the proper settings in place and don't try to restore system apps. There is an option in preferences to "Migrate system data" that could be causing people some problems. Without it enabled, TB backs up and restores the entire database containing an app's data. Because database structures may change from rom to rom, this setting tells TB to backup and restore the data itself, rather than the database as a whole. Once I discovered this, it made my life with TB MUCH easier.

And so I keep this post germane to the thread.....Can I say one more time how much I enjoy this rom? I am simply floored by the improvements over Stock DK28 that have been implemented WITHOUT ACCESS TO SOURCE CODE. Amazing. Can't wait to see what happens once 2.2.1 officially drops and the source code is released.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Does GPS and wifi work as well as no lag in anything in this rom?

Ive read a lot of people are having these issues and if thats the case ill just wait for the official source so that it will be fixed?

Any issues on this bonsai rom i should be aware of?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
For me GPS works better than anything I was running on DI18 based ROMs. WiFi has never been an issue. Bluetooth on any DK28 ROM can be a little funny. As far as lag goes, I think you will find that this is the fastest DK28 based ROM out there as far as navigating menus, scrolling, and opening apps. If you are into playing games that are GPU intensive, I would recommend staying on a DI18 based ROM. The graphics drivers in DK28 are just not optimized yet, and there is some lag and jitter in games like NFS and Asphalt. I have two Epics, one running stock DI18 and the other is running this version of Bonsai (but I've run pretty much every DK28 based ROM out there), so I always have a control phone to compare to. So if your a serious gamer, you might wish to stay on DI18, but if games are not a deal breaker, then this is the best daily driver around.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jirafabo:
I find TB reliable as well, I just make sure to only restore user apps and some system data. Never the entire app and often if I notice FC's on a system app like email or something, I know it came from my TB restore. I've always had the "migrate system data" unchecked, but for the life of me, I can't figure out if you are suggesting it to be checked, or keep it unchecked.... ? I read your statement a bunch of times and still can't tell which you are recommending....
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Gps works so much better on froyo than eclair. I couldn't ever get a lock inside my house on eclair and on froyo I'm getting 1 to 2 meters. As far as wifi I keep wifi on a lot at my house and I never have a problem with it. It connects just fine every time and stays connected. As far as Bluetooth I just use one to talk on the phone and that's it. I don't use it for music.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:

I seem to be in the minority still having poor battery life with the new update. It appears I have a runaway process that's.preventing it from sleeping. I've tried everything I could find. I disabled drm, I have wifi sleep to never, I enabled juice defender (not to touch wifi), reset battery stats. I have 4 batteries that I alternate so it's not a battery problem. I've have similar configrations with previous roms with much better battery life (12+ hours with medium to heavy use). Now I get less than 8 hours with little to no use. I would appreciate any suggestions... thanks.

The problems I had were fixed when I went to Midnight version of the rom, but may have been just from what the phone considered basically a second flash of the rom.

Good job guys on this latest version too) I like the themed version though, and really miss the Black MIUI player, wish that one was in there. Since 1.13, the stock music player wont stay paused through the day, but the miui player does.
