Differences between stock EC05 and Bonsai EC05. - Epic 4G General

So, besides the kernel changes, ext4 and stock app removal, what are the differences between the released stock EC05 and Bonsai's EC05? Is Bonsai just a modded stock one or it is some EB13/EC05 hybrid?

for future reference, questions end in "?" and statements end in ".".

Once I get my PRL updated, I'm going back to Bonsai. I might take Sprint ID with me

I've read where people were successfully updating after flashing EC05. I thought it was ROM issue but I may end up trying it manually.

Well, ive been able to update, my prl on every rom no matter what,
ive been on d118,dk28 bonsai,eb13 bonsai
every modem and always was able to update my prl
ever since sunday when i got the new ec05 bonsai is when it stopped working, even it stopped working on bonsai eb13 on a different phone when it used to work,
so like is said pretty sure its a sprint deal and hopefully working soon when everyone start to get the ota...

I actually like Sprint ID. Works much better on the Epic than the Transform. There are also some new default Wallpapers.

So it seems... A half hour ago it told me there were no updates available, now it's giving me errors. I've had fun playing with the update, back to Bonsai I go!

Why run stock? I'm more than happy with the EB13 Roms like Frozen. There doesn't seem to be any significant improvements in EC05 that I'm aware of.

The ED12 Modem (leaked one)

So has anyone used it yet? How's it performing? do you like it? Should we stick with EC05 til the real release?
I'm debating on trying it =?
- Leaked Gingerbread *Note* Please read, this is about the leaked version, No real ED12 yet.
Leaked ed12 is real ed12. Its not official gb yet. Official gb will be called something else. Ed12 - e=2011 d= april 12=12th of the month. This was the say that it was finished being made and packaged into something. The next

K0nane and ACS actually recommend not using it. With their leaked Gingerbread it had 3G issues which EC05 did not have. So I would stick with the EC05,
Do you BONSAI?
ED12 does not play well. Even devs recommend EC05 or other modems.
From what I've read, ED12 modem has no 4G, and may have GPS lock issues. Some have reported problems with 3G data also. Most people who are trying ED12 ROM are using EC05 modem with it.

By "real" I meant the official release of it. As in the ota release. Thanks for reviving.

I loaded and played with it yesterday. Went back to Syndicate - way too many bugs, the biggest being phone didn't ring - missed calls.
Honestly, don't see the big deal - it didn't seem any faster (Im overclocked), screens were different, but couldn't use it due to missed calls.
Since it is the wave of the future, I'm sure when its finished, it will be nice, but I will personally wait and enjoy my trouble free, stable phone.
I haven't flashed it yet either. I'm to happy with acs frozen. Its so stable. Plus the honeycomb theme. Can't get myself to do it cause I know ill be switching back I'm a heartbeat.

There will never be an OTA release - and as we've seen in the past, the OTAs are always trash. TAR > OTA

[Q] Updating from DK28

I like many downloaded and ran the DK28 froyo upgrade when it came out only for official releases to come out later down the line.
I stood with DK28 until now because for the most part it worked really well. Ten, I started encountering random problems from the phone never calling out successfully on the first attempt to the wifi refusing to turn on unless I turned the phone off then back on.
I have gotten tired of these problems as well as sluggish performance. I wanted to update to the last official build. Are we on EC05?
What is the easiest way to do this? I am not rooted. I have never used Odin or the samsung updater. I am not that tech savvy on my own but can easily follow well explained steps.
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

I simply ran it as an update.zip and it was like receiving a pseudo OTA. I never rooted because I never had a reason to. I am tempted to root now so that I can create a backup of apps and maybe some texts.
Since I am not rooted, could I simply run EC05 as another update.zip file or will this simply not work.
It would be easier to follow this

[Q] Does EI22 have video chat through Gtalk?

I've got official GB running on my phone, but I'm not sure if video chat is part of the this version of Gtalk. We're running 2.3.5 so I thought that it would have it since that was added in 2.3.4. Thanks in advance for any insight that you guys can offer.

Wow... that is just inexcusable considering how late the Epic got Gingerbread...especially being one of the 1st phones that had a FFC to begin with....
Just add the zip shinnydude posted awhile back. Also, ACS ICS EI22 has it baked in the rom.
Weird if the rom is 2.3.5 than it should work because you need 2.3.4 or higher I believe.

Yeah, the permissions are set wrong in it, but you can just flash the su.zip to get root back.
Worked for me! No issues.
I was about to post a reply, but you guys already took care of that, and as Shane said, be sure to have a flashable Su handy.

Just an opinion question

So I ordered a replacment phone and it'll b here tomorrow (Thursday december 15) I just wanna see if anyone thinks it'll have a newer build than ei22 on it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm sure if there was a build newer than EI22 we'd all know about it. So, nope, you'll be on EI22.
There isn't any later build. EI22 is the latest right now.
Sent from cyandroid
I bet it will not have a newer build than EI22. I even bet it will not even have EI22 on it initially out of the box. It will have EC05 on it (which will auto update to EI22). How do I know? I just got a replacement phone as well last Friday from Sprint (broken Bluetooth issue - hardware related) and it had EC05 loaded on it.
Oh.. I thought I read that sprint was making a newer update? And I thought there was something called el09 or something like that? I might be mistaken
But thanks anyway at least now I know to stop hoping I would get something new lol

Yes, there is a newer build in testing (EL09), but nothing has been released that we know about.
