There should be a change log on Bonsai's website with the ROM features.

If you want visual changes, then you need to flash a theme. Take a look at the Froyo mod sticky or theme threads in this forum for download links.

Paul.... just curious maybe I'm missing something... what makes Bonsai a great rom over stock? I don't see any visual changes or anything that stands out. ..? Am I missing something? And they went with the worst launcher...

Your not really going to see much in the way of visual changes in either Bonsai or SRF ROMs. Both are top notch and they have kept theme realitively stock aside from adding battery mods and custom boot animations. They have gone in and removed most bloat but the real secret spices lie inside these ROMs what they have done with the coding and kernels to make them so stable and efficient ROMs.

Launchers, that can be easily changed by the user. Just hit the Market and grab you launcher of choice. Bonsai went with Zeam due to it being lightweight and still having some nice speed and having customizing abilities.

Themes are the key these days to customizing any ROM to your tastes. Froyo EC05 has roughly somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 dozen or more themes to choose from. We have many listed in our INDEX sticky thread for EC05 based ROMs.

Hope this all helps.

Great, I was just expecting something like features of Cyanogen or something, but what I am getting from all this is that these ROMS are more faster and battery efficient. One thing i dont like about this ROM has to be the fact that they took away the clock on the top bar.

Yes many have commented on this, I think this is just one of those little characteristics about Bonsai that gives them their own little "identity" sorta speak. I will look around, I think I remember seeing a restore for this someone recently.

Cyanogen, yes that would be great to have some of those features. Until the CM7 team gets past a few more hurdles things are still at a slow pace.

Ok so now i moved on to another theme for EC05 but once i try to download it, it give me a "This content is not supported on the phone" message...? am I doing something wrong? Man this seems more troublesome to do than my old rooted Evo.

Re: [Root] Epic 4G Froyo & Eclair ClockworkMod v3.0.2.5 Switch Be

Paul how can I go back to stock Rom? I cant figure out how to download another ROM, when I try to it says content on phone not supported, when I try through my Mac, my computer wont recognize my Epic as a mass storage even after checking USB debugging, and i tried 3 different USB cables and 2 different ports. I am just fed up, flashing roms was not as hard on the Evo, so I just want to go back to stock but rooted with Bonsai... please help.

this is exactly why i havent touch my phone as far as rooting because i have a mac and the roms, one clicks and etc are pc biased. the gingerbreak root on phone without a pc only works if you have previously rooted your phone. im still trying to root for the first time. does anyone in this forum, let alone site, work on a mac. i always feel left out lol.... smiling thru the tears :'(

Sorry if we have discussed this before, I forget after awhile but have you considered using the Bonsai Master Key Unlocker for MAC?

Once rooted with that you can then switch out to CWM 3.1.0.1 purple which most of the ROMs are recommending now by a simple flash in CWM to switch.

Bonsai for Android | (registration is free) then you can look up the Bonsai Master Key Unlocker for MAC/OSx systems.

im sorry i didnt mean for you to repeat yourself i read that a few post back. just was hoping to use the same mediums as everyone here just on a mac. i guess ill have to come out my comfort zone and check out their forums. it still would be great if someone could crack the mac world with the same tools

If you put the files in the lowest folder on your drive (should be named after the main user of the computer), then when you open up terminal you won't have to navigate anywhere - you'll automatically be in the right folder.

Thats a big no no. Tried to use bonsia like Paul stated. Even watched a video on how. The problem is connecting to my Mac. Black Berry usb, debugging and still a no go. In the past I could connect but it would eject from the laptop. No clue as to why.

Thanks for trying

If I could figure this out is would gladly share with others and help. I know it's a pain repeating yourself.

So now I can connect via mass storage. But rooting just won't happen either way. Not through bonsia or through one click.
Bonsia isn't able to find the phone and one click terminal step hasn't allowed me to move on, can't navigate even after moving it to my lowest file on my drive.

Re: [Root] Epic 4G Froyo & Eclair ClockworkMod v3.0.2.5 Switch Be

Ok so I'm getting close I actually did everything using cmw but I keep getting connection error. Terminal says phone isn't connected. Unplug and plug again. Confirm with adb?

HELP!!! I just rooted my phone using the system described in this post. The rooting went off without any problems (superuser loaded, etc...). Then trouble hit. I tried to change the file system to EXT4. I backed up my rooted phone using Titanium Backup and then installed the ext4converter.zip and Bonsai SPH-D700 v4.1.3.xip file on my SD card. I powered the phone off as described and turned it back on using Volume Down, Camera, Power Button. It came up with the SAMSUNG screen and I can't get it off. What exactly do I do now. The instructions say to "re flash" the ROM and I'm not sure what that means. I've bitten off more than I can chew. Any help would be appreciated.

First pull your battery and pop it back in.

Then boot into CWM (Vol Down+Camera+Power)

Then wipe data/cache partition/dalvik cache 3x

Then flash the Bonsai ROM again.
