[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
To go along with what nitsuj said, it would be kind of pointless to have two identical roms out there with only a theme making the difference. I originally started this as something for people to use until the community rom came out since we were having to manually debloat and add in Sbrissen's mods and misc tweaks manually on the EC01 leak. Then I added a theme to it and some AOSP stuff and the rest is history. I never had any intentions of keeping EF going when I started it but I have been getting close to 3000 downloads on each release so I have kept it going.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
I remember wen this was in themes and apps section w a big not for development asterix by it lol... O how far this rom has come (and comm rom also).... I am glad u dont like ur X2...if u dnt mind me asking out of curiosity how is it diff from the X besides 4g
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
the dx2 does not have an lte radio
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
Really!?! Thats surprising... I don't know much about it besides it looks exactly like the regular dx 2 me
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
not all the new vzw phones have lte radios...the dinc2, dx2, and the htc merge (still yet to be released) are 3g only (though the dinc2 is gsm/cdma world phone)
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
The display its terrible. When you have white text on black it gets blurry when you scroll. As soon as you remove the bloat it runs pretty good. The screen is brighter than the original. There is no way I would have bought it if my work didn't supply it. The call quality and gps is way better than the fascinate though. It is about the only good thing about it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
I cannot get the gps to lock 9 times out of 10. Is anybody else having this problem? Also my phone seems to hate pbj kernels, I get SOD and yellow CWM. Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] bigjobber69:
Nevermind......
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
Yellow cwm now comes standard w pbj kernels but I would recommend using times infinity or nemesis2alls recovery until the backup/restore/wipe data issues r resolved... As for SOD which pbj kernel r u using n do u use youmail by chance?
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
Thanx nitro n nitsuj for the info... I was curious cuz my buddy is lookin at a DX2 so I was jus curious bout it bein that ill be rooting it n etc. 4 him... Guess ill persuade him against it n go w a tbolt wen he renews his contract shortly. I jus wish I coulda persuaded my uncle against getting that darn iphone 4 but I guess not everyone in the fam can be winners lol
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
or for those so included you can edit out the recovery flash in the pbj kernels update-script (we do in com rom)
[Fascinate Android Development] beray5:
I've used nemesis2all's OTB CWM3 Recovery v3.0.2.8x.OTBv2 -> http://www.multiupload.com/8VDE8GX69P with Evil Fascinate - last 2 versions, Comrom - last 3 versions, Cyanogenmod 703 and plethora of kernel swappings without backup/restore problems at all, actually had not any problem with it yet.

Ahhhh. Didnt read the full change log. Sorry bout that. still running 3.5.1

[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
qHD indeed :rolleyes:

@ Bubbadogg: Motorola is taking a page out of Apple's 2009 playbook: release a new version that looks just like its predecessor, with most of the changes being under the hood (think iPhone 3G and 3GS). Main differences between the X and the X2:

1. Greater pixel density on the X2 (960 x 540 pixels, same 4.3" display size). Apparently, the higher resolution still does not put the "qHD" display on par with Super AMOLED.

2. X2 has a dual-core NVidia Tegra 2 chipset, though I've read that there is little difference in real-world performance thanks, no doubt, to the bloatware that comes with the phone.

The most glaring flaw with both of these phones, of course, is the locked bootloader.

It's interesting to note that PhoneArena's review said some of the same things Nitro said, about the display still not measuring up to the Super AMOLED standard, and about the dual-core processor not making the X2 run much better in everyday use.

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
Ok, I was not aware of that. Well I tried the latest versions of both -100 and -50. However I've now switched to Comavolt. No I am not running youmail. I thought it might have been swiftkey because it started right after I loaded that, but after removing it it still pops up some, not as frequently. Now I say SOD but I've had SOD when I was running SC, this is a little different, it only happens when I've hit the power button to wake it up. It will wake for a sec, then go back to sleep, then the backlights on the softkeys stay on, and it will make noise if I bump the volume button all the way up or down, but the screen won't come back up till I do a battery pull.

The other issue I'm having is sometimes when I try to put it to sleep with the power button all it will do is take screen shots, you hear the camera click and it gives a screenshot saved message and is unresponsive until the screen times out on its own. Then I can bring it back up.
[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
Removed "no led" and odin'd times infinity's blue CWM. Cleared cache and dalvik and reflashed rom and left the kernel as is. So far so good after 3 hours. Maybe it was "no led" doing it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
Ahh ic... Thanx for the info... Im glad I didnt get the DX wen I renewed my contract I was so close 2 gettin it but the display size n that ever elusive froyo update got me on the fassy which was a better long term decision. In the DX2 advertisement they dont even tell u how its diff or better but maybe I dnt pay attn 2 advertisements lol... Anyway I dnt wana clutter nitros thread w this so thanx 4 the info guys
[Fascinate Android Development] OnlyStrife:
Hey guys/Nitro. Love EF.

The major problem I've been having is that the Wi-Fi freezes after 8 to 16 hours of the phone being on with normal activity. I don't normally leave the Wi-Fi on cause I know it eats more battery, but if I try turning it on at night or something after the phone's been on for awhile, the setting just freezes. It switches to "On," but never initializes and eventually returns to the default off state. I noticed similar stuff like this with other ROMs, where I'd have to reboot a little under 24 hours so that everything functions, but I can't nail down what exactly is the issue. I believe I'm running compatible firmware, cause I have ED01 and I believe the kernel that comes with either Com Rom 1.3 or EF (can't remember and not that familiar with kernels).

Another thing is that as soon as I flashed 3.6, I started getting a double forceclose on email on reboot even though I don't have the email app setup (no problems with gmail though). I tried to open the email app to mess with the settings but it fc-ed on me the same way. It's not really a big deal, but I'd like to know what's going on.

Thanks for all your help in advance, guys, and thanks for the amazing ROM. It's definitely my favorite.

[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Did you wipe data before installing 3.6?
[Fascinate Android Development] OnlyStrife:
Definitely. Wiped data, dalvik, and cache. Always do.
[Fascinate Android Development] mgrimmenator:
nitro, luv this rom and default red theme. was wondering if possible to get a red version of the honey comb clock widget. that'd be koool. can't see switchin to any other rom until one comes along with better performance than your. still gettin two days out of this and 1/2 of a third. can get 3 days easy if just using for phone and email sparingly.
[Fascinate Android Development] clintceastwood:
I installed all this and for some reason I am unable to save anything everytime i start up my phone everything is reset to default and I am not linked through goolge or anything like that.

I am also getting dual boot animations

any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
You know I saw one of your previous posts about this saying you get this incredible battery life and I've done what you suggested. I no longer use any widgets, animations are off, wifi is used rarely, I only turn on the gps when I need it, brightness is set to the bottom, I've eliminated every app I can that I don't need to run and I can't come close to 1/2 of what you are claiming. I've lost 4% just writing this. I lost 6% in 15 minutes between leaving my house and driving to work and I never touched the phone.

Just doesn't make sense. I want to clone your phone!
[Fascinate Android Development] prenedo:
Have you recalibrated your battery? Sorry if this was answered, didn't read all your other posts
[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
Doesn't it recalibrate after a couple days on its own? I've wiped battery stats but I guess I thought it recalibrate on its own. I will look into it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
just looked into it, yes I've recalibrated. charge to 100%, wipe, drain, recharge. I've done it several times and it never seems to help with any rom I've been on. But I'll try it one more time.

[Fascinate Android Development] fitti28:
first off what are you running on your phone? Radio, Rom and theme?

Did you flash a theme over theme? when you flashed rom did you do a full wipe data/factory reset? If you didnt i would recommened doing a full wipe/factory reset then flash your Rom and if you are running a theme then you can flash the theme
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
As far as battery life, I tried everything suggested with no luck. Then I finally did the full reset to factory rom and started over. Put EF rom on, tried a few kernels--finally settled on PBJ-50--and battery life is dramatically better. I now keep gps, auto-rotate, wifi, and data on all the time and battery life is solid. It's a PITA, but if your battery life sucks and nothing else is working, it's worth it.
[Fascinate Android Development] clintceastwood:
see i think i got too far in over my head without doing the proper research ... i have had my phone rooted and such since back when the phone first came out ... and havent done much since then.

i am completely unfamiliar with the "radio" term. I was rooted, voodoo, etc and i tried flashing this over what def wasnt ED01 so I think I might need to completely reset everything and get to ED01 then root ... then flash this over?

Does that sound about right ot what i should do
[Fascinate Android Development] Robtao:
I have had good results with the EF ROMs. I tried MiuiWiz, but battery life was wayyyy worse. Play 1 song, lose 1%. I think it is the PBJ -50 kernel that works best for me. I may try Miuiwiz again with the PBJ 50 kernel as a test.

But keep in mind that I have the Naztech battery ($25 at Amazon.com) so I can get 1-2 days without a recharge on this EF 3.6 ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] DUNC4N:
Just wanted to say thanks, I like my phone again.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
No.. I have voltage control instead from tryin out the OTB kernels before flashin this but I dnt have that kernel anymore so I dnt use it
[Fascinate Android Development] wmboggs24:

[Fascinate Android Development] Zeromus2003:
You know what would be more awesome....if you didnt have load a rom on a rom! No offense to the great devs, but stacking roms is not a good practice to be doing.

I guess I will wait until we can go back to having one rom and a theme of choice.

Alright so my market is flaking out big time. FC all the time. Updates FC, updates 1 app then FC... Cleared data for it, reflashed ec01 debloated still does it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jeff194:
Maybe wipe cache,davlik, then go to mounts and format everything but the two sd related ones. Then reflash Rom. This worked for me in the past when I had fc's that fix permissions would't cure.

[Fascinate Android Development] Zeromus2003:
How can this be called a ROM? "Roms" on top of roms should not be an accepted process. Think about it, would you ever do an upgrade for Windows? No.....you would do a clean install to avoid issues.

I fail to understand how we have a new radio (EC01) and not a full stand-along ROM?!?!

Why can't we go back to the old days when we wiped data/cache/dalvik and then load a fully-realized ROM?

Anyone else lose Google Voice Search after a long press of the search softkey? The regular google search loads kinda jumpy for a second, like it's trying to load the voice, but then it just stays on the normal search.
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Yes on both points. Was able to reinstall maps from market just fine though. Tried that with voice search but still can't get longpress to work...
[Fascinate Android Development] 4GivenByChrist:
Have the same issue with the long press not popping up voice search. Also noticed that the stay awake while charging option disappears unless you come over from SC 2.9.

I still had the stay awake mod so I have that back.

As for the long press voice search dhoard has a mod for eb01, not sure if it is safe to flash with ec01.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
You would not have a good outcome flashing this on top. I have made the smali edit in the android.policy.jar file to fix the longpress voice search issue. I can post a zip if you like or if you can wait until tomorrow I will create a newer version with some other updates as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] cynikalJ:
I used to have a Fascinate and got fed up with the lack of producer and carrier support. Every other flavor of the Galaxy S for the states has Froyo except the Fascinate. I don't know whether its verizon's issue or Samsung's issue but I think the argument can be made that they need to fix it. I loved all the dev. for the phone when I had it but I can tell you this I would not be piecing stuff together if I still had it. Phones barely run correctly with the stock software, you think they will run better with a pieced together patchwork rom. And all the argument over flashing over the top of a rom to get EC01 to work, I think that's a little crazy. Either it runs or it doesn't there is no reason you should have to flash over something to get it to work. I used to work on computers and the worst problems that I ever dealt with was people running there OS for a year then slapping on an upgrade (ie. essentially what you are doing here) and then complaining about shutdowns and errors. It's all part of the vicious cycle. I hate that the dev's get this grief but it's hard to use something that's half this, and half that, then when the real update comes (if ever). you have a different radio, different kernel, and different rom. Seems to be to be a recipe for disaster but that's how problems are solved I guess. But on another note, getting a rom from an un-named source with an un determined release date even if from a very respected developer is a little suspect to me.... just my two cents.
[Fascinate Android Development] shorttripp86:
I'm fully content with waiting for the fix + other goodies. Thanks for the continued hard work, and solid Rom & themes!
[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
I second that. Even though I'm having minor issues thank you Nitro, I love how well the rom works!
[Fascinate Android Development] punkwhan:
Can anyone tell me where to get the latest samsung email app that comes with ed01? I flashed the email zip in OP. But it's the same as one that came with the rom. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
No its different.
[Fascinate Android Development] punkwhan:
Somehow the first flash didn't work with CWM 3.0.0.8.

I installed 3.0.2.8 and flashed it.

It still didn't work.

I flash the rom again and uninstalled email app using Titanium Backup, then flashed samsung email.

It finally worked.

Thanks for the fast and smooth ROM.

I second this. I cant get the exchange portion to work on this version. SAys it can not connect to server. I tried to revert back to tw email (used the one that was posted on 6/2, but it FC's when i open either the app or try to configure it in accounts & sync. any suggestions?

[Fascinate Android Development] Macguyver:
Woohoo! After charging to 100% both off and on yesterday, wiping the battery stats and flashing the new ED04 radio I'm now at 20% battery after 23 hours of moderate use. Battery held at 70% overnite and does really well on standby now. Using the kernel that came with EF3.6 which I think is pbj -50.

Thanks nitro! I love this rom!

Seeing some odd phone-related issues with this ROM. I had two separate occasions where I was unable to pick up a call today. First time I was already on the phone and attempted to switch calls but no joy. The second the phone appeared to lock up when I tried to answer the call. It required a reboot before I was able to make a call.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
I think the problem may be in your modem, instead of the ROM. Try following the instructions on this thread, only I recommend only going up to ED01 (it seems as if ED03 and ED04 are causing problems for some):

This is strange since this ROM is the preferred one I use our Fascinate that's flashed to Cricket. No problems with text here.
