Re: [ROM] Bonsai v4.1.1 has been released
I just wanted to share my experience flashing the new 4.1.1. I finally got around to doing it yesterday morning, and at first it was a nightmare (mostly my own fault though). I decided that since I was running the midNIGHT ROM v5.3 - which uses Bonsai 4.1 as a base - that I would just flash it right over top and not clear anything first. Suffice it to say that it was a bad idea. It froze up every 2 or 3 minutes to where I had to pull the battery. Then after the 4th time doing that it rebooted and started getting FC’s like crazy. Eventually I gave up, Odin’ed back to EB13, rooted with the Bonsai MasterKey, flashed 4.1.1 and the restored everything with MyBackup Root. Worked like a charm on the first try. This ROM is amazing. Its fast, stable, and after 12 hours my battery is still over 60%.
I am very impressed.
**EDIT**
Just wanted to post an update. I usually plug in my phone every night, but I left it off the charger last night to see just how long the battery would last. When I went to bed my battery was right at 60%. I just woke up and its at 52%. Granted, I have the wi-fi turned on which usually reduces battery consumption, but still….almost 24 hours and I’m still above 50%. That’s impressive. Great job guys.
Oh, and for the inquiring minds that want to know, yesterday was a fairly typical day as far as usage goes. a couple of dozen short phone calls and some moderate usage of Maps and the internet. I’ll report back after a heavy usage day when I am using the navigation and the bluetooth and let everyone know how the battery life compares.
