Hi folks. Just wanted to report an apparently quirky issue that I am having. I can't boot this rom at all. It sits at the Samsung logo after successfully installing for a couple of seconds looks like it's about to start loading and then reboots to Samsung logo and freezes.

I've tried reinstalling the rom as suggested for other folks with boot loops even though it's not looping.

I've tried restoring a working backup and applying.

I've tried odin to stock, one click rooting and applying.

I've tried odin to the prerooted stock rom and applying.

I have been able to load the acs rom and the previous non 3.0+ bonsai rom successfully so have no idea why this rom or 3.0 won't boot.

I'm currently on the prerooted stock rom which is I guess is where I'll stay although I loved the dk28 bonsai rom and wish I could try this one out.

while themeing my epic using bonsai rom i grabbed the bonsai framework-res.apk and opened it up and noticed something ive never seen before. im wondering if this is just me, like did i get a bad download or wtf! anyways i noticed that in res folder there are 2 hdpi folders. one hdpi, and one hdpi-v4. is this the bonsai rom itself or what? just need to verify. also it seems to work real good after themeing it and installing it but im just curious why this is like this! thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did you try redownloading the ROM? Might be a corrupt download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I am having no issues with bluetooth nor wifi, if that confuses things more. Also never had to enter BT pin, just accept connection. Have a cheap Samsung WEP870 BT.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Oh Ryoung...you are on CWM3 and have an EXT4 file system already right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryoung07:
Yep. Tried this. It installs fine... well I guess I should say I get no errors installing the rom. It just won't boot after installation. Samsung logo appears briefly disappears then appears again and the phone freezes. Need to pull battery to get back into recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryoung07:
Yes I am.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Sounds like you have all the bases covered. Must be a corrupt download. One rare possibility would be your sd card. You could back it up and format it and copy everything back on. But def try a fresh download of 3.0.1 first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ah. I see you tried the download already and ACS ROM works? If another EXT4 ROM works then that rules out a bad Clockwork 3.0.0.6
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryoung07:
Yes... ACS works as does Bonsai EXT4 before 3.0. I even tried installing the ROM from a different sd card, formatting my current sd card and trying again with only the rom install on it. I even pulled the card and tried booting with no card at all. No luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
are you sure you are using CWM 3.0.0.6 and not 3.0.0.5?
[Epic 4G Android Development] aypanthony:
Could an apk like Vlingo or similar be causing the BT issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JudasD:
I will give this a shot and report back. Thanks for the tip!

[Epic 4G Android Development] jaronow:
I'm curious if it isn't an app also, as my planatronics bluetooth has no issues.

I'll do some testing tonight with a cheaper headset and my laptop to see if it'll happen.

The other thing that would help is if people with the pairing issue state what bluetooth their using, it may be an issue with certain devices and eb13/samsung in general

I am having the BT issues and do not have vlingo or any similar apps installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] automator:
I am having the pairing issue... these are the headsets I am using:

Plantronics Voyager Pro

Plantronics Voyager Pro+

Plantronics BackBeat 903+

All three need re-pairing if the bluetooth is toggled off then on. If I shut the phone off with BT on, and reboot, they stay paired. It is only an issue (for my device) if bluetooth is toggled with the phone on.

Hoping this can get figured out, thanks to all who are posting ideas!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
describes my experience as well. I'll add that audio routing gets messed up too -- after disconnecting BT, audio that should be going to the speaker is routed to the earpiece, including ringing. Makes it watt to miss a call. only fixed by rebooting.

Might be A2DP related -- I'm using an A2DP capable headset.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
There's something unusual about your phone and/or configuration, as you seem to be the only one experiencing this problem.

That makes it near impossible for the devs -- our anyone else -- to help you with just the information you've provided so far... it's impossible to trouble-shoot a problem that one can't reproduce.

Wondering if things were better?

I was wondering if anyone knew or if there was a fix to the icons for the apps installed on SD card disappearing. I know it was described in this thread HERE, Im using Launcher right now but I prefer the TwCrushLauncher. I know this convo was picked up in this thread HERE, but then it falls off without a solution.

I have facebook, winamp, some benchmarking apps, nfs shift, angry birds, and gps status installed.

Edit: I connect to a sony mex-bt2800 for phone and a2dp.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
The only BT issue I seem to be having is connecting to the CBT OBDII anaylyzer I use with the Torque application. This is the gizmo that reads the car's computer. It was working OK before, but does not connect/read now. I am not sure though this is necessarily a Bonsai issue as Torque has also pushed several recent updates.

Other BT devices used = Motorola T505
[Epic 4G Android Development] supercluver:
I am currently having ZERO issues with my epic on bonsai 3.0.1 (theme'd with amosher13's gingerbread for bonsai 3.0.1) and the SYNC in my ford fusion. I originally had some issues (contacts wouldn't sync, but no pairing issues) way back when on Nebula and Bonsai, but an update fixed that (and that was still when things were based on DK28). Haven't seen any issues since EB13.

I do have an question unrelated to bluetooth. My battery life is FANTASTIC. On wifi. Which is to be expected of course, as wifi is much more efficient. And I'm on wifi almost always during the week as I'm either in my office or at home. But on the weekends I'm out, and there is no wifi. And my battery life is just way worse than when I'm on wifi. I expect it to be worse, but it is WAY less. I've updated my PRL just within the past couple days. Would updating my profile help? What would be zapping my battery so badly. Spare parts isn't showing anything. Juice defender makes a HUGE difference, so I know it is the cell radio. I leave gtalk signed in all the time. I have 1 gmail account, 1 yahoo account (push) and I use K-9 Mail for a work email account polling every 3 hours. I don't really even use the phone a lot, almost no calls and texts. So we're talking like 5-9% per hour on stand-by when not on wifi. On wifi it is 1-2% per hour stand-by at most. Any thoughts?

Possible workaround for EB13 BT problems

Gang, I may have found a workaround for the problems with BT on EB13. I've only lightly tested it, but it seems to work.

Because this is a general EB13 problem and not specific to Bonsai, I've started a seperate thread about it. Go here to get the details.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
Kudos! You found the same thing I did, and got to the posting first.

I've started a seperate thread with this workaround, and to focus efforts to characterize and solve this problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I know for a fact the audio routing issue happens on the stock kernel as well. Though it only happens when paired to devices for both phone and audio. If you only pair one or the other, you can't replicate the issue. My workaround has been to use the car dock for audio out, and Bluetooth for phone calls.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
After installing 3.0.1, I've found that the phone seems to fight over whether to use WiFi or WiMax when both are present. This is causing me all kinds of problems with apps that require a persistent connection, as the device will switch modes randomly. I've done a complete system wipe with no fix. Did you tweak something with the WiFi settings? I've got a feeling it's the culprit here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Good call. All BT issues should be directed there since they are obviously not isolated to this ROM.

Notification Vibration stops

First time I updated to eb13, a few days passed by and then my gmail and text vibrations stopped working. Hard reset fixed it. I'm on Bonsai 3.0.1 now and it's been fine till now again. Just restored to my last backup on cwm. Anyone else having problems with this?

Yeah??? But seriously, not to sound like a ****...This is obvious a a problem that should be addressed in the beginning of the thread, for some people it is too time consuming to go through multiple pages and look for something that would take 15 secs. to answer, or even easier a post fix in the FAQ..

So either answer it or don't, no one here is a MOD we are all here to help, so if there is a fix just post the page #, there is no need for fools acting like they own this thread ITs Mammon88s work and page..Its up to us to help to make the rom better or contribute effectively..

The last thing some one needs, is a bad experience with there device and to ask for help just to hear some E-Chump act like an ass over a legitimate question.. IF ITS SUCH A BIG DEAL THEN MAKE A THREAD CONTAINING ANYTHING freq ASKED..other than that there should be no reason to put up with BS attitudes..

[Epic 4G Android Development] x130844:
Don't know, but i am experiencing worse battery on this rom 3.0.1 than the 2.x version.

I am thinking about going back to the previous bonsai 2.0.x as i can't figure out why the battery on 3.01 is simply not as good.

On 2.0.x with stock battery, the phone with medium usage, would last at least 20 hours. and with low usage, up to 36hours. That was rocking!

Now at 3.0.1, i can barely do 12hours of medium/low usage.

Yes, i am using setcpu, and tried SA, and ondemand, from 100 to 1000 (not even overclocking it).
[Epic 4G Android Development] supercluver:
Did you see that battery life on wifi or on 3g with 2.0.x?

Just now I went to lunch. Was gone for about 1 hr and 10 minutes, and lost 13% of my battery.

And I never took my phone out of my pocket.

I look when I get back from lunch and 13% down on the battery. That is strikes me as high.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
When I have more time I will list apps (have a lot). I am using a motorola t505 device. But it is the same device in have always used with no problems before v. 3.0.1. Also I have the same apps I have always had.

I "think" I was OK on v. 3.0.0.

I may reflash it and check.

Edit: May have figured something out. I have been toggling BT with a widget. When I toggle from the notification bar it seems to work (so far). Which would also explain why it quite working as I added apps. As from clean install is used the notification bar and later used my power widget. But I have always used a widget before. I will test this out at work and see if this work around keeps working for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I believe it is the same for me. If I leave BT toggled on it will reconnect ok.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
yeah that kernel doesnt go to well with this rom. did that work for you nick? Clearing the data for gmail?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
what cpu scale are you running at? i get pretty good battery life at 100/1000. also dont forget to kill the omadrm service. that is a big battery hog.

I noticed the Android Keyboard would only word correct names from my contact list -- no other English words. I double checked the keyboard's options to make sure anything related was enabled -- still no word completion. It's like it didn't have a dictionary available.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I have a Samsung WEP 490 which auto-pairs with the phone (because the phone is Samsung of course) I also have a Motorola Finiti, Jawbone, Jawbone Icon, and a Rockfish? Stereo Bluetooth which continue to show paired (for the most part) but I constantly have to un-pair and pair again. As I said in a previous post. It is happening on all EB13 ROMs not just Bonsai. It does become a pain because some Bluetooths are a pain to pair.

The kernal or the bonsai rom?

Cause there is no separate kernal flashable, and its only in the rom,

Do u need the 3.0.0 rom??
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
hmm, maybe if i get a samsung headset it will work :rolleyes:

lol worth a try, just dont have one :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] supercluver:
I'm using ondemand 100-1200. Majority of time it's running at 100, and always is when it's in my pocket not being used. And I used startup manager to remove the drm service things from starting, which should be good enough, right? They are never running anywhere when I check.

I really appears to be a cell radio thing, and maybe 10+% per hour on 3g is normal? I just don't think it should be that high. I wonder if maybe my phone is defective as far as the radio goes. But my data speeds are fine, I don't drop calls, my TWS is 50% (but the time running is twice the time since unplugged so it is just that visual error, not actual time where there is no signal). I still haven't tried updating my profile, as I don't see what that could do. I'm in Houston, sprint service is fine, I'm not in some fringe area.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Thanks for starting thread. I will put future BT posts on that thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Toggle your phone into airplane mode and back out when you boot your phone. TWS should be much lower than 50%. The theory is the Epic is searching for a GSM radio which CDMA types do not have and using up some battery power. You can also use Juice Defender to turn off 3G for intervals while phone is asleep.
[Epic 4G Android Development] x130844:
on both bonsai roms, same usage same settings. both on 3g only. no wifi/no gps/no 4g.

maybe the kernel in this new bonsai requires different type of tweaking to get better battery life? or maybe my phone was SUPER compatible with bonsai 2.0 coz that one rocked!

not sure.... still testing...

i did a full battery calibration today, we'll see if that helps

I expect really a 2% or maybe 3% max decrease every hour if just idling. (of course, in a good location for signal, IE at home.).
[Epic 4G Android Development] nickespi:
Yeah i tried that, So ill give it a go agan, i also noticed there was an update for Frozen 1.0.1, somebody posted on the last page of the thread..so im going to give that a try see if it will work
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
LOL i hit thanks on your post by accident btw meant to hit reply. There should be a way to get those back? Or a confirm button?

Back on topic, Idk what to think about our battery indicator. I just think it's buggy. Sometimes i get great battery life and sometimes I feel like it could be better. Then i recharge my phone and all of a sudden things seem fine. I mean the battery reboot bug alone tells us the indicator isn't always right. I always have my charger. I try not to dwell on it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] supercluver:
I agree with your thoughts on the battery indicator being buggy. And yeah, I should probably just try to not worry, I've never ran out of battery as i charge every night. It is just I get the crappy battery life when I'm out and away from a charger, and great life when I'm home or at my office and have all the electricity I could need. hahahaha, oh well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nickespi:
Yeah just tried it and it seemed to work, also noticed that someone posted a update for frozen, so f there are any probs that i dont know about on bonsai, maybe it fix them?? Thanx for the info
[Epic 4G Android Development] a2tz:
I have the TWS "bug" where I usually am around 50% without toggling airplane mode. I have also noticed though that if i'm in an area of somewhat bad signal (1 or 2 bars) which I often am at work, that my TWS will be sometimes higher. (I think different areas of our building get much better signal). Right now it is at 36% and that is with doing the airplane toggle. It would make sense to have higher battery usage as I think it is looking for signal the whole time. I also have noticed if i turn off "data network mode" or whatever that it uses less battery when I am in areas of bad signal.

Keeping up with the thread is getting harder!

I'm not having the bluetooth issues some of you are reporting. Strange it's not common to all of us. I use a Plantronics Voyager headset and Dual BT head-unit in my truck for calls and audio-streaming Grooveshark and never leave BT on between uses. Weird.

I have had the TWS bug creep back up on me. I had to put Tasker back on to auto-Airplane-mode-on-then-off-at-boot. Dang.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
U know what I also have this bug on this rom. I tried syndicte rom and I didn't have the bug my TWS was only at 2% but I love this rom so much more I came back to it and I had TWS at 53% with out toggleing the airplane mode. Huh maybe the rom has something to do with it. I don't know I don't care cuz this rom rocks over any other :-) ill stck with this not a big deal to me but just wanted to let mammon or randy know that I've had this little bug on this rom only
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
Thanks for that additional info!

For those that don't know, press-hold a BT device in the BT settings screen, then click Options on the popup context menu. This will give you a settings screen for that BT device where you can enable/disable the HF and A2DP profiles for that device.

I'm giong to give this a try (disable A2DP) with my Plantronics Voyager Pro+, and see if that resolves the audio routing issue, as per metallica's info above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Hey guys, the TWS "Bug" is a visual bug that effects all ROMs on the Epic. It will have no real effect on battery life. If it bugs you, you can do the Airplane toggle. If not, you can just subtract 50 from whatever your TWS % reads. I know some have stated they think the radio is looking for a GSM signal causing battery drain, but I've seen absolutely no difference in power consumption weather I toggle Airplane mode or not. We have a CDMA radio. It can't scan for a GSM signal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Yes, but I suspect it is a combination of apps causing the problem. For those who are having problems can you install a stock Bonsai 3.0.1 and test to see if the problems surface?

I hooked up my Motorola H715 BT adapter last night (haven't used it for a year) and it hooked up immediately. Works fine with and it immediately hooks up again after changing batteries with no intervention on my part.

Devs -- easy Q about startup scripts.

The /etc/init.d/<userscripts> startup mechanism is standard Android. Also, the scripts you all have included clearly come from some standard template, but obviously modified by you guys.

The Q: Are these standard scripts that are part of the stock kernel that you all have modified -- and therefore are likely to be there on most ROMs -- or were these scripts added by you guys for tuning?

Point is to know better how to advise other people (w.r.t. setting CPU freq parameters, for example) when they ask questions. Not sure if, for example, I can just point practically anyone to /etc/init.d/24-cpufreq for any ROM, or if this will only apply to Bonsai.
[Epic 4G Android Development] elbo450:
So I found EB13.AOSP.lockscreenReboot in the Themes section. Has anyone tried this on 3.0.1 yet? Wondering if there are any known issues before I dive in.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] elbo450:
Didn't really think about it earlier, but I've got the same thing going on here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
When EB13 was first released and they were tracking issues this was one of them. No one's resolved it that i'm aware of. I never noticed since I disabled auto-complete.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
If your device (the BT headset) is in pair mode when attempting to pair with the Epic it will not ask for a pin, it will only ask to confirm to be paired.

The only time I've ever been asked for a pin is when the phone picks up my headset before I have put the headset into pair mode.

I'm pretty sure this was the same when running stock DI18.

Try starting with Odin to DI18, I've found it is the least problematic.

^ This, and to add my own experience to it, if the BT headset dies while connected to the Epic, you might run into the "failed to connect / invalid pin / whatever" problem.

The battery percentages are simply not correct.

Lately I've been working with adjusting the code for battery charging.

From what I can see, the percentage value is "adjusted".

I haven't yet worked out how it's being adjusted, but I hope that in time I will have a solution for more accurate percentages.

I'll be starting a thread for my tweaked charging kernel sometime soon (gotta get some things in order 1st). ;]

To my knowledge, the init.d scripts that are included in Roms, have been selectively chosen for that rom.

I can say for sure that the init.d scripts in the MikFroyo Rom for the Evo are not the same as the init.d scripts that come with Bonsai.
