[Fascinate Android Development] GoogleAndroid:
Yeah, I was gonna say, the zip is very lacking. I hope this is real. Or this is a cruel joke. If it is real, I will be so happy. I guess I'm not sleeping tonight until this is done uploading.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rexxe:
Be patient, he said it's uploading and it will take an hour. I have the original ROM he put up and it is 125 megs. I opened it up to take a look and it looks legit. I'm waiting for the new upload though before flashing since this download I have doesn't have the kernel.

Here's what is says in the build.prop:

ro.build.id=FROYO
ro.build.display.id=FROYO.GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
ro.build.version.incremental=GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
ro.build.version.sdk=8
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=2.3.3

#ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I500/SCH-I500/SCH-I500:2.3.3/FROYO/GINGERBREAD.XXJVK:user/release-keys

Not a chance in hell this is real. If it has taken Punk.Kaos this long to get cm7 up. No way a GB port is getting released this quick on APRIL FIRST!!!!!!!

Yes way bro

Sent from my SCH-I500

Except that Punk.Kaos wasn't using the GB leak for the i9000 which was released a couple days ago. This is a port, not a build for the i500 or Mesmerize.

Wow. Firmware says 2.3.3.

Nice.

But its also SC 2.9.2.
[Fascinate Android Development] tnez:
just noticed that too
[Fascinate Android Development] smitth6750:
Yea but it's possible to edit a build prob to make it day that
[Fascinate Android Development] ruthlessbeatle:
so its real
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
I don't think it is an April Fool's, because if it is it is extremely elaborate and well set up in advance. I was in IRC one night a little over a week ago and saw all these devs working with each other. One of them said "April is going to be huge for the Fascinate. And no one thought we would have a working gingerbread by April 1. Can't wait to see the looks on their faces." I kept very quiet about it as I didn't want to start a stampede and have everyone overwhelming the devs while they were working on it. And perhaps everyone may want to consider that yes it IS an April Fool's joke..........on everyone else out there who was laughing at us Fascinate owners because we didn't have Froyo yet.

This is pretty real...but the Wiimote doesn't work for me. I posted in the Q&A section. Maybe I'm doing something wrong :(
[Fascinate Android Development] GoogleAndroid:
I just flashed. This is definitely real.
[Fascinate Android Development] DroidXcon:
Build props can be faked so that picture doesnt tell us much
[Fascinate Android Development] dustinface:
This is real. Best ROM I've ever used, and it's still beta!

[Fascinate Android Development] GoogleAndroid:
Suit yourselves then. I'll laugh as I enjoy GB goodness as you all sit back and wait.
[Fascinate Android Development] zakth:
Well, I just flashed this but it's bothersome as at the top it shows "SC 2.9.2" which I would not expect to see if this is built on Stock i9000. Not only that, but GB based GUI that I have seen from other phones does not have the colored icons in settings. Also the google app icons are not the same color as GB is. I'm thinking this is edited SC release and a mean Apr. 1st joke. I'm thinking this will be followed by an actual real release.

[Fascinate Android Development] zakth:
Hmm, maybe it's part of my kernel then.
[Fascinate Android Development] CDODGE:
how come the first screen shot shows the GB battery and the second persons shows the stock Samsung? smells fishy.

Not saying its not a working rom.. just not real GB
[Fascinate Android Development] DroidXcon:
yeah umm no
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
I'm more interested in finding out how they got the Wiimote to work. I can't get it to work. I can detect it via bluetooth but wiimotecontroller app is still not working
[Fascinate Android Development] dustinface:
You must have not wiped all your data first.
[Fascinate Android Development] GoogleAndroid:
This. I've had all sorts of weird stuff happen when I don't wipe a few times.

you must have wiped wrong, try wiping the phone while rubbing your belly and tapping your head, then it turns into GB

I downloaded it, but here's what I'm thinking:

Elaborate plot to fool people on April Fool's: Check.

Version gets uploaded, but someone forgot to cover up the joke: Check.

Second version is up to try and save face: Check.

I'll believe it when known devs aren't posting screens trying to convince us to flash it and just random people have flashed their phones. I don't really feel like doing a backup restore just to prove a point.
[Fascinate Android Development] justin94:
ok, so ive downloaded and installed v2..... bootlooped, attemping to re-wipe everything.....again. i love the boot animation, hilarious and clever
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:

Back to SC 2.9.2V..Great y'all, made my day!!!

but alotta fail for those who didnt check the date....
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
um...i do. ill flash anything. ask anybody. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] justin94:
well, v2 is a joke, im pretty sure its just an elaborate ploy. all it does is flash a boot animation featuring a ginger singing and dancing. ill keep using v1, it works fine for me. even if it isnt real gingerbread ill take the placebo and pretend that it is. plus itll make one of my co-workers jealous as hell because hes still stock 2.1 and afraid to flash anything.
[Fascinate Android Development] HybridByNature:
OH SNAP!! NEW ROMZ! Can't wait to flash this! Downloading now!

/edit: Awww mannnn.

[Fascinate Android Development] DroiDAddicT14:
im doing a nandroid backup as we speak and then i will flash. i dont think this is an april fools joke but if it is, i'll laugh and cry at the same time...lets keep those fingers crossed! >.<

UPDATE: april fools joke :'( lol but a very very good one. that ginger guy singing is rick astley and anyone who downloaded and flashed this just got epicly rick rolled...fml lmao!!! i hate getting rick rolled!!!!!

All it is sc 2.9 with edited build prob to show 2.3. Nothing just a asshat April Fools joke. It sure did raise some eyebrows
[Fascinate Android Development] DroiDAddicT14:
i did the same exact method to flash this as you, how come i got stuck in a bootloop?

[Fascinate Android Development] Joe T:
Man, what a ***** this caused my morning. Was getting the kids ready for school and flashing this at the same time. Went out to warm up my car and the battery was dead. My recovery gave me a ton of forcecloses and I couldn't call my wife to come back to give me a jump, so kids late to school and me late to work. I missed a huge meeting with a potential vendor and I got sent home, 5 days without pay! Worst of all, I'm still on 2.2.1! This April fools joke sucked! :eek:
[Fascinate Android Development] DroiDAddicT14:

[Fascinate Android Development] ppazz1101:
Sorry but that's your fault. Why would you flash something at such a critical time? Any flash runs that risk.

And did your house phone not work to call your wife?
[Fascinate Android Development] DroiDAddicT14:
shouldve done a nandroid backup and if you wiped data, youre retarded because you didnt have to....
[Fascinate Android Development] dandog96:

[Fascinate Android Development] jadambpharm:
it is pretty stupid to flash this either (1) without a backup or (2) at a point where you'll super-need your phone in the near future, as all flashes run some risk. that said, its a pretty **** move and really has no place here.
[Fascinate Android Development] ppazz1101:
All the more reason not to flash it in the morning when you have to take kids to school and make it to work for an important meeting.
[Fascinate Android Development] ppazz1101:
Agree with your first two points. Don't agree that it's ****. It's funny. It's April Fools. Google does it. So do a lot of websites.
[Fascinate Android Development] jearl75:
Ah, the good old rick roll. Brings back so many memories from the Eris days, Code Red was it? LMAO! Never flash ANYTHING that comes out on April 1st, EVER!!!! LOL Don't worry guys, a "thunderbolt" port was posted in the eris forum today by jcase, I'm sure it's the same thing. So don't feel left out :-)
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
I have a feeling that the story about the missed meeting and the 5-day suspension was an April Fools joke too. Who flashes a new ROM while getting ready for work? Especially when one also has to take the kids to school?

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] Spaniard85:
I figured I'd just give it the benefit of the doubt, made a nandriod, wiped data and whatnots, and then it didn't even flash. CWM aborted the install. Restored and all is fine.
