I think the real question is, why are you trying to start a problem? What you had to say was clearly noted, but the way you said it was also clearly malicious. That was unnecessary.

1. Nothing is wrong with telling people to wipe multiple times to emphasize its importance (as JT himself even put in the OP of one of his ROM threads, "make sure you WIPE WIPE WIPE your data", but you never felt the need to comment on that)

2. While it's redundant, you could have PM'd him with your comments rather than trying to embarrass him publicly in his own thread, especially when he's taking the time out of his own schedule to provide something for the community ("These install instructions lead me to believe that you have little to no idea as to what you are doing and dont have any business distributing a rom." Really?)

3. People seem to be quite happy with the quality of his work.

I don' have a problem with you OMJ, but that really wasn't appropriate.
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
+1 absolutely...
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
You are right that it is overkill. Without a doubt.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zeromus2003:
@Nitro: Just want you to know that this Rom is perfect! Its wayyy better than the community rom.

Best part I was able to do a full wipe!! This is even higher quality than the beloved superclean days!

Keep up the great work!
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Better to be safe than sorry & err on the side of caution & whatever other cliche may fit...
[Fascinate Android Development] jpricesd:
Why the need for such hostility? Sure it may be redudndant, but who cares? It may give new flashers a warm fuzzy feeling. You could have taken this to PM instead of being a jerk about it
[Fascinate Android Development] 420fan:
Feel free to make your owm rom then.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Dont even start bashing OMJ for his statements. Everyone is entitled to say what they want to say. He is way more than capable to make his own rom so don't even go there (no offense 420fan). He has a helped out this community quite a bit.
[Fascinate Android Development] OldManJames:
Telling people to wipe wipe wipe and telling people to wipe a specific and redundant number are times are different things. One is a joking way of emphasizing the need to wipe and the other leads users to believe that wiping partitions multiple times is needed and useful. It also shows a general lack of knowledge by the person writing the instructions.

I could have pmed him you are right and honestly the tone in my post was probably too harsh, but this kind of misinformation does not need to be perpetuated which is why I chose to do this in the thread. Users should know that its useless to wipe 3 times then wipe 2 other things 4, 5 and 6 times.

Nitro said he knows its redundant so I suppose I was wrong. Although I still would love to see an explanation of why its there to begin with. Its not like forgetting to wipe is going to cause any real issue. At worst you would have to reboot back into recovery and wipe. Not a hard solution.

sorry for the drama
[Fascinate Android Development] fitti28:
I appreciate all that the devs do. Everyone of you all gives each person on this forum options that make our stock Fascinate better, Much better. So as much as i appreciate your comment to Nitro it could've been worded more like a question. When i have a question i pm nitro and ask him as i want to learn so i dont do things that are redundent if i dont have to but to be honest i think more people these days are very new to the whole Rooting their phone and using themes and all. That is very eveident with the thread for community Rom, how many time was the question asked "does this contain the radio ed01"? I mean really i get lost going thru that thread now as there is to many repeated questions. So i think people asking questions are great and yours was also but you didnt need to throw that comment about Nitro shouldnt be creating Roms. I thank all the devs for what they do and i think its great we have many options. Nitro has posted many great Roms & Themes and I think He doesnt deserve to be treated like that, i dont think anyone should have anything negative written in the posts about them. If you want to be negative or ask a question that might sound negative that should be done thru the PM..

Thank you to all the Devs who work on our phones doing wonderful things so that we can enjoy our phones as i must be honest until i found these forums i hated my phone!!!!!!!! now i am enjoying flashing the phones and trying new Roms and themes its actually addicting.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I have removed the excess steps in the install instructions because yes it is pointless to wipe 3 times.

When I wrote up the instructions on there I was thinking of someone that has never flashed anything before and I just wanted to make sure that they wipe. The average person will wipe and then install. I was just making some basic instructions at the time and I did not choose the best method to emphasize the need to wipe so that users do not have issues when installing.
[Fascinate Android Development] OldManJames:
fair enough
[Fascinate Android Development] Shadowchasr:
Redundancy eliminates potential problems.

Its like the guy on the phone doing technical support;

CUSTOMER"MY SCREEN IS BLANK"

Tech"please power down everything so that it is off"

CUSTOMER "IT ALREADY IS."

Tech"please ensure everything is properly plugged in" + another 50 steps to check for power...

You get the idea
[Fascinate Android Development] RyanBluebirds:
I don't think it's pointless. I've wiped everything before and had it not take care of everything. I started up my phone and I still had my settings and half my apps. It was weird. Now, whenever I wipe I make sure to do it several times just in case. It can't hurt. I've also had problems that wiping couldn't fix at all that only changed after I odined the phone completely clean and reinstalled.
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
I rather wipe 3 times than wipe once and have a screwy rom download and go through the wiping process all over again. Would you want a clean butt rather than leave **** behind?
[Fascinate Android Development] RyanBluebirds:
Yes sir! Cleaned out everything via odin as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
i think everyone has made their point on this...but the analogy doesnt reall fit in this case...as cwr would not get stuff the 2nd/3rd time that it didnt get on the first wipe...its in fact not ur butt where human error in wiping is involved

[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
You know what I find annoying? Fanbois who can't seem to keep their trap shut and go on about how nice this rom is (I'm sure it is), and that its so muc better than "insert rom".

While we are on the topic of keeping opinions to yourself, the folks doing this SHOULD DO THE SAME. Praising a rom is fine. Don't be an idiot and put down other's work or talk badly in the process, however.
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
Well...ok sorry :)
[Fascinate Android Development] notoriousB:
well this thread sure has gone downhill since last night. everyone hug and make up! lol

Nitro, just to follow up on my note from yesterday, AOSP call answer is present and working as expected today. Not sure why my phone went weird yesterday afternoon, but it's all better now.

[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
I suggest re-downloading the file and re-flashing it. The download may have been corrupted. If that still doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to help further.

[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
You can flash over community ROM, but I would still recommend wiping cache and Davlik.

no issues here either...
[Fascinate Android Development] hecantbreathe:
Yes, works fine. The only videos I have on my phone are the ones that I recorded. But they play perfect in the native player.
[Fascinate Android Development] Joe T:
This is great, thank you!
[Fascinate Android Development] cordoni:
Go into manage applaications and clear data. I am finding a number of force close issue the first time you open an app after switching to this rom. Just clearing app data seems to fix the fc issues for apps. After I clear data I have no more issues with that particular app force closing.
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
you left spaces in the filename of the rom. It wont install if theres spaces.
[Fascinate Android Development] sunder74:
Didn't work for me but I reflashed the twvideo player from the superclean thread. All's well now.,
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I will have to throw that back in. I will post a zip.
[Fascinate Android Development] sunder74:
Other than that its running great. Thanks for the further clean up and the mods. Any chance on getting a black or dark grey background for the notification backgrounds? (ongoing and current)

Nope.

[Fascinate Android Development] harbormatt:
Stupid question - so downloaded the rom, radio, and video player. Which ones do i do thru Odin and which ones do i do through recovery and what order?
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
Radio is done through ODIN, ROM and video player through recovery. Radio gets downloaded to computer and stays there, ROM and video player get downloaded to the sd card on your phone. Probably best and easiest to flash radio in ODIN, then when that is done, reboot phone, boot to recovery, flash ROM, reboot, boot to recovery, flash video player, reboot phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] harbormatt:
Ok, well its on my sdcard but i cant find it, do i need to rename it as update.zip for it to be able to be used?
[Fascinate Android Development] harbormatt:
Radio was updated successfully...
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Just select install zip from sd card and locate the package.
[Fascinate Android Development] harbormatt:
Thanks Nitro, will try again...
[Fascinate Android Development] harbormatt:
It worked...had to re-copy it to my sdcard...working now and updating Honeycomb 4.1...will let you know how its going soon

[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
imho I think u shouldn't comment or say anything about a rom til u have personally flashed n tested it out.... All the developers do a lot of wrk on these rom n we should all show them the upmost respect cuz they made ur fone wat it is... both this n the comm rom r amazing roms it just comes down 2 ur personal preference... Also 5 hrs w.o SOD (knock on wood)
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Who made the offending comment?

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] slaz13:
My 2 cents....I think this series of roms have been the best I have ever had on my phone and just want to say thanks for all the hard work! Seriously kudos man really awesome job and it really is appreciated for all the work you put in!

How do I uninstall / remove the "black" them which includes the red progress icon, etc? I also installed and want to uninstall the black apps (google, twitter, facebook, etc) but not sure how.
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
Hello, I flashed the gapps from your post over the comm rom..

AMAZING! It seemed to theme everything red and black... Even the lock screen. I love it. Even grabbed your facebook apk.. However, doing so seems to have made my radio and battery info on the dock bar invisible. Only the clock remains.

Is there any chance you could theme the com rom like this? It would be a hit!

[Fascinate Android Development] ChadZ:
Also, I fully drained my batter (after wiping battery stats in recovery mode) and fully charged, even for an extra 3 hours.

As sound as I turn it off, it was at 96% instead of 100%. Then a minute later dropped to 95%??? Why?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
On a stock rom you would have a message popup telling you that your battery is full and begin discharging 4 to 5 percent and then charge back up to prevent damage to the battery. This has sbrissens no full battery popup block so that you will not receive a message telling you that it is full. You most likely caught it as the battery was discharging.
[Fascinate Android Development] ecpolo521:
Loving the ROM so far. I'm using in combination with PBJT standard nv kernel and the phone is snappy as hell. So far no FC's of any kind. I have noticed my volume for music has gotten lower. I use Poweramp by the way. I tried going into the hidden menu to change the settings but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Download voodoo controls from the market. You can adjust the gain there.

Would appreciate help on this. The framework theme is killing me.
[Fascinate Android Development] fitti28:
Have you tried just to reflash the Evil Fascination v3.4.1 Rom? all the black framework and black apps are add-ons that need to be flashed separately. I'm not sure that is the answer but it sounds logical to me.
[Fascinate Android Development] bichigo:
Been getting FC's every time I assign a ringtone to an individual contact... any idea why?

Working on a fix right now.
[Fascinate Android Development] mgrimmenator:
I am having a battery issue wth this. while plugged in and chargin once phone reaches 100% it stops chargin. so if I receive notices in the midle of the night or things that use the battery then i'll wake up with like 96-98% charge instead of full. if I unplug and plug back in then it will charge to full. I have wiped bat stats in cwr several times. please help.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
There is a self protect that is built into our phones so that our batteries do not get overcharged and become damaged. Once the phone reaches 100% it will discharge to 96% if left on the charger.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I have figured out the issue and will release the fix with the new version that will be out either today or tomorrow. I have some other items I would like to add to it first.
[Fascinate Android Development] mgrimmenator:
WOW, thx, i had no idea. That explains why this happens then.

Luvin this ROM. Best performance and battery life since i got my phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] tmlhodge:
I think the network problems have been resolved at least in my area cause I've been having the no service problem and today its nothing but 3g, I changed nothing and I'm on the ed01 radio.

just wipe cache. Not data and it will clear the mod and reapply rom while keeping your settings.
[Fascinate Android Development] reisb:
So are people getting SOD with this rom? I really loved comm rom, but keep getting SOD.

I see inmut's uv kernel is including, which I'm assuming will give me SOD (but not sure).
[Fascinate Android Development] bichigo:
awesome! can't wait! thanks for all your hard work :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Robtao:
Tried the Com ROM but seem to like this one better. Seems to be working well, but when I change font to Rosemary, and back to default, the default font gets all stretched out and unreadable on the icons in Launcher. Changing back to rosemary font works fine again.

I think I had the same problem with the Com ROM, so I don't think this is related to anything in this ROM exclusively.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Yeah, -100 is incredibly aggressive for a stock package. I'd flash the -50 over it before you give up.
[Fascinate Android Development] luke949:
I am getting awesome battery life on this rom thanks a bunch!
[Fascinate Android Development] tnez:
That's how the battery works, it always stops charging after it reaches 100% and doesn't start recharging till it drops below 96%
[Fascinate Android Development] reisb:
Quick quesiton (hope it wasn't covered). I see in OP screenshots that there is 4tab screenlock option, but I don't have that???

Nevermind. Just noticed an app that does this...thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] reisb:
I'm starting to think my phone can run nothing but a stock type rom. I've used leaked stock initial froyo, EB01, ED01, deodexed only, debloated all without a problem.

I never could run a superclean without SOD, gave up on comm rom due to SOD, and just flashed EF and got SOD. I just flashed imnuts 50 voodoo in hopes, but not confident. I also have the imnuts sv on sd card to try as well. Guess if that doesn't work, I could try good old EC10, but I'm thinking it's something in these custom roms that my phone does not agree with.

I wiped everything 3 times and did not even restore via TiB. Just installed handcent and youmail from market to test if I would get SOD prior to installing all others. And a wallpaper I got from Zedge.

Hate it as a love EF and CR.

*** Update: imnuts50voodoo - SOD. Trying sv now
[Fascinate Android Development] spydersilk:
Some things that have caused SOD for me:

-Widget Locker

-Fancy widget/Weather and Toggle widget when I had the unlock animation turned on.

-Any music application with option to have music controls on lock screen selected
[Fascinate Android Development] reisb:
Only widget I had were the ones that came with rom (google search and power controls). I even removed the news widget on page 2.
[Fascinate Android Development] reisb:
*** Update2: imnutssvvoodoo - SOD. I give up. Back to stock I guess. Damn!!!!!!!!!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] bmeek:
Did you install ed01 ota? From there, why not test the stock debloated/rooted ed01 rom (that adryn posted the day it released) with the imnuts 50 voodoo kernel?

I'm running this with the sbrissen mods and the light fix from s44 (actually with the imnuts 100 voodoo kernel) and everything works fine.

That said, it does sound like your hardware is marginal... i would try to get it swapped out :-).
[Fascinate Android Development] allcity187:
A few weeks ago I install imnuts 50v kernal and I notice my phone was real slow, but then I install one of his sv kernal now my phone is fast. I think our phones don't like to be uv.
[Fascinate Android Development] reisb:
OK, I tried to restore back to my ED01 stock debloated/debinged that I orig had and I'm getting an error "Error while flashing boot image". My cwm changed from 2.5.1.x to 3.0.2.7x when I installed EF. Is that why? If so, how do I get back?

Update: Found the cwm recovery-all. I think it's restoring now.

If I want to add sbrissen mod to ED01 stock debloated, I have to goto cwm 3.0. Won't I run into same problem if I backup?
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Have you been on youmail the whole time? I read somewhere on this forum that it was a prime suspect for causing sod.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
OP Updated with 3.4.2
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
I had SOD forever n tried about everything so if u want some SOD help I could be the person 2 talk 2 but I nd details n I will start by saying if u have SOD start by not using youmail as it has been the cause of SOD for many... If u still have problems after gettin rid of youmail then pm me.... Also restart ur fone after u uninstall it if u dnt restart ur fone after n SOD dnt panic just wait 2 c if it happens again
[Fascinate Android Development] reisb:
Interesting gary and bubba. Yes, I have had Youmail since day 1 of my Fascinate.

This morning for a clean start, I odin'd back to DI01, odin'd to EB01 w/root, and flashed EF 3.4.1. Went about 3 hours then SOD. For some reason, this time my cwm did not change to 3.0.x (think because I had an older update.zip that starts blue and then goes to 2.5.1.x after sdupdate), so I flashed EC10 voodoo kernel.

It's been running for about an hour right now. I'll ride that out until SOD (fingers crossed). If I get one, I will try removing youmail and reboot to see if that helps. If not, I will pm gary per post.

Why would youmail not cause SOD on the stock deodexed roms though?

Thanks guys. Keep you posted.

btw, I LOVE EF rom. Hope I can keep it.

I tried 2 replace the vending.apk w the vending.apk in 3.4.1 cuz I like the red n black mkt better but it jus reverted back 2 the stock green mkt....

Also does this have the new sbrissen mods that were updated today and if not if I flash them will it untheme some stuff
[Fascinate Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I will add the mods when all the bugs get worked out. If you flash it you will lose the theme.
