[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. While it's very true that our devs are to be applauded for their efforts, the very reason that we have working Froyo roms like SuperClean (aside from jt's AOSP, which still is lacking a few features) is because of leaked builds from Samsung/Verizon. Our devs did not make those, only released them and cleaned them up a bit. We have three leaked builds total now, so there is no longer any basis upon which to claim that the official update will not be released. They would not be putting that much work into builds for this phone if they did not intend to release it once it's complete. Also, I think we should be grateful that they are taking the time to properly fix issues like GPS, which the new radio does, instead of rushing a new release with more bugs.

I too am disappointed at the time it's taking for them to get this release out, but it is clearly coming, and soon, if the last leak is any evidence at all, so I think we all just need to remain patient for a little bit longer. However, I do have one question. We have had working Froyo roms here for quite some time now. If you're posting here on XDA, I can only assume you're interested in modifying your phone, as opposed to leaving it stock, since that is, after all, what XDA is all about. If that is true, why are you still complaining about the lack of official release? Just install SuperClean or your rom of choice and move on.

[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
An official Froyo release will also bring the source code along with it. That had been a major holdup, but, with the source code for the Mesmerize, there's not really all that much reason that we need a Froyo release from Verizon (at least for us personally).
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
All froyo ROMS have multiple problems at this. As such, when installing you lose some functionality but gain others. Who wants to go backwards on anything? No one. So of course we wait for a bug fixed official release. Current froyo issues in case you haven't noticed:

1) massive browser scrolling lag

2) funky idle battery drain requiring constant maintenance

3) worse GPS. Yup 2.1 EA28 can't be beat.

To me, I'd rather use 2.1 than give these up. Of course that's my opinion, but I've noticed it shared by others that are not flashaholicks and not dev fanboy groupies.
[Fascinate General] Harbo99:
I sent an email to Verizon. I just edited it to say that when I "upgraded" from my Droid 1 already running froyo I was told I would have it "soon". I also added that if I wanted a phone with BING all over it I would buy a winmo phone, not a GOOGLE phone.

Before anyone gets on to me about why I did buy a phone with BING, I got it knowing that I could get rid of it. Most people don't have that option though.

Will update when I get a response.
[Fascinate General] 420fan:
I pay Verizon Wireless a monthlty fee, not XDA. The Froyo Roms we have here are AWESOME and they totally make my phone a lot better than what I had with the stock, but I have been told MULTIPLE times from verizon wireless employees that it would be soon. I am tired of being lied to. Plain and Simple! I'm glad your OK waiting, but imagine what our Devs could do with the source code. I have froyo running on my phone and I appreciate all the work devs like Adryn, JT, Sbrissen and others have put in. My point is that when I bought the phone, one of my main questions was about Froyo and the GPS on the fascinate. I did my due dilegence at the time. I am here on XDA because Samsung and Verizon FAILED on this phone with the updates.

Leaked builds are just that. They surely leak those on purpose so our comminuty can test them out. I find it amusing that your OK paying big business money each month, but don't hold them accountable, just like they hold us accountable EVERY month when the bill comes due. I respect your opinions, but have to respectfully disagree with them.

If we just sit around and do nothing, they will most likely continue to take advantage and squeeze more money out of us and give us less.
[Fascinate General] Neuman.Tim:
So did you ever find out what they meant by giving you the option of getting another phone? Did they mean straight trade or what?

They were going to give me a refurb phone, or sell me a thunderbolt for 125 bucks, but extend my contract for another 2 years. I am still thinking of buying the bolt, but not sure. The sound of the email made me think i would swap out for a new phone, but again, verizon mislead!
[Fascinate General] Neuman.Tim:
of course they would mislead, look at it this way, its ACTUALLY a tbolt for 75 since they gave you the 50 dollar credit. thats actually pretty awesome. I know it willextend your contract but as they stated in the email it wouldnt change your upgrade date, if they say that it does, you have the email to use against them. If the wife would be alright with it I would almost definitely go that route and get a tbolt for that price lol. I love my fascinate and I love what the devs have done with this phone but I also adore HTC and love the thunderbolt.
[Fascinate General] sunder74:
Well I've owned several androids since the beginning and i honestly have to say this is the most poorly supported device I've owned to date. Which is sad because its actually pretty decent as far as hardware goes. I will not buy another Samsung android device not even the "Droid" branded Charge. As a poster mentioned earlier I do warn people about Samsung and the lack of support from both manufacturer and provider. Anyway it has been a good phone just wasn't given proper attention.
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
Are they going to let you keep the fascinate or do you have to send it in? Also is the refurb phone a t bolt or something different that you get to pick?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
You're certainly welcome to your opinion. I'm just trying to put this in perspective. To respond o your issue list, use Dolphin (all stock Android browsers are junk, IMO), battery life isn't stellar, but isn't bad and is quite manageable, and have you tried the EC01 radio? Almost everybody who flashes the EC01 radio is reporting solid GPS performance.

[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
I haven't had issues with gps since the first build of froyo released on the forums here. Personally if I find that it isn't working (which is rare) I start up gps test and toggle it on and off again watching to see if it finds anything or is just plain not working. Usually just toggling it fixes it. Only had issues on really cloudy days which is kind of to be expected.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Yes, they wouldn't even offer me thunderbolt... They wanted me to geta new line instead.

I'm switching providers to t-mobile again after this contact is over. I miss t-mob and sick of vzw.

They are pathetic. I sent an email with question about Froyo for Samsung Fascinate and this is what I got as a response:

Somebody didn't even bother to check that Incredible has froyo for couple of months yet.
[Fascinate General] antcardi:
Someone should email and see if Playstation 3 has gotten 2.2 Froyo yet...
[Fascinate General] SotYPL:
I've just received a call from vzw after my response to htc bs in their email. Nothing new, some guy assured my that they are working on Froyo, fixing some problems and it will be released soon. Same bull****.
[Fascinate General] Hotweelz66:
Fascinate source code

For what its worth, just read that the froyo source code for the fascinate has finally been released. Read it on Android Central, would provide link but I can't post links. I'm sure some already know, just wanted to let those of you that haven't heard yet in on the info.

Edit: I guess this is old news. Just read here in the developer section that they have been discussing it since early this morning :o . Well I hope it still helps.

can I safely delete this stuff?

Thanks!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrage23:
You can remove anything with Titanium Backup or just use root explorer. I would not remove any of the core android apps though. You will hose the system. Navigation is tied to Google maps.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekrhino:
Maybe just freeze the apps you don't want to use?

+1

Titanium backup will remove any app in a pinch, but you need to be careful about the ones you remove. Instead, may I suggest you simply FREEZE them via Titanium backup? They won't show up on your app drawer if you freeze them..

Hi,

I'm looking for galaxy tab stock ROM from Rogers (UXJJ6) please

I want to try to revert to original FW because my tab is stuck at samsung galaxy screen for more than 2 weeks now. All the ROMs i flashed have failed ( for example ROTO JMI, JME or jmk,jj4, jk5 etc) Odin or Heimdall say "pass" but the tab always reboots to the samsung logo and stays there.

Thanks in advance for any help you could provide

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tupo05:
Hi Crisvillani,

2 weeks ago I tried the Rogers FW that you posted on march 12. I flashed with heimdall all what was inside by putting each file in their correspondant box. The status bar goes 100% but the tab doesn't reboot.

There is a Pit file that i was not able to use because the box is always greyed out and when I check the repartition, the start button becomes greyed out too.

I was wondering if the ROM is complete or should I flash specific files in some specific order.

Please advice as my tab is still stuck at samsung logo screen.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crisvillani:
Hey i'm not exactly sure what you have to flash but before you got stuck in a bootloop what firmware were you one and were you converted to ext4?

If so try repartitioning with the .pit file in the folder , then with heimendal flash the factoryfs.rfs and cache.rfs and dont wrry about the rest.

Im pretty sure that should work!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tupo05:
Crisvillani,

Thanks for the hint. I'll try that out again and see if it works.

TheATHEiST,

Sorry for posting in the wrong section of the forum. I guess I was so desesperate I didn't pay attention.

A+
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
My guess would be that the ROM you were most recently using has converted your partitions from RFS to another format. Stock ROMs will not work with these other formats.

As such you need to repartition your device. At the moment the start button is greyed out when you select repartition because you have not provided all the necessary files. Once you've put a file in every slot (except recovery) then you will be able to flash. If you're unsure and want to put a file in recovery just select the same file you chose as the kernel/zImage.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rw144:
The issue I am having is that I can not connect to my home router. When I first got my G tab it worked fine. I recently decided to try G Harmony to see if I could get my Vulkano working which it did but it wouldn't let me set up and ad hoc net work. Well I tried a teathering app and setting up a manual connection and it was still a no go. So I decided to go back to Tnt 4.4 which I had backed up. Now when I went back to Tnt I have lost the ability to connect to any infrastructured router. I can connect just fine ad hoc to my Iphone. I have tried multiple reflashing G harmony and TNT, I have tried formating boot, sys, cache, reparitioned the sd, cleared/factory resets and all caches and no matter what I do it still won't connect to my router. I have disabled WEP on my router still no go. The only thing I have not done yet is NVflash, but I waiting to see if anyone has an suggetions here. Fairly new to android so I am just trying to be cautious. Any suggestions?

Kernel Manager released! Lite (free): http://tinyw.in/0i8, Pro (cost): Available in the Market...ENJOY!

Hey everyone! Team Win is back again, this time with a new app with a very simple but ambitious goal: create a place where all kernel developers can submit kernels easily and reach a much wider audience with ease.

The app currently does this:

1) Downloads a kernel from our fast and stable teamwin server

2) Unzips the relevant files (modules included)

3) Flashes the kernel

4) Installs the kernel modules

5) Clears cache/dalvik-cache

6) Reboots to apply the changes.

This entire process takes less than a minute, generally, (depending on download speeds of course :)), and it is extremely simple for end-users to find a kernel, filter by kernel features (BFS, CFS, HAVS, SBC, etc) download/install kernels, and submit ratings for their favorite kernels.

If you use IRC, join us in freenode in #kernel-manager!

Submitting a kernel to Kernel Manager is totally free and we even provide hosting for you! Right now I'm looking for kernel developers to submit kernels to start populating the app. Submitting kernels is easy!

THE LINK IS FOR KERNEL DEVELOPERS SPECIFICALLY! Go to http://kernels.teamw.in and register for an account! Once it's approved, you can easily enter new kernels, which immediately show up in the app. The app will be released in the market, and there will be a free+ad supported version, and a for-cost version that removes the ads.

Right now, we have a specific list of supported phones, but plan to add every nand-unlocked phone as soon as possible. (There are a lot of variables to account for on multiple devices to make sure the process works :))

Please feel free to provide me with any feedback you have, or feature requests in order to make this a great tool for all of android to utilize!

[EVO 4G Android Development] mjcole2003:
I paid for, and everything worked for me. im running virus's latest rom based on leaked gb. I filtered what i was looking for, more havs, sbc, cfs and a selection of 3 kernels popped up. I clicked the 4.3.4 and it downloaded and installed perfectly. Maybe a good addition would be in the filter section, AOSP or Sense
[EVO 4G Android Development] Moricon:
You are right about the ports and then all having quirks but this tool is to make the enthusiast life easier and we are going to have weird configurations. I mean look at the way phones reacted to different kernels on the same roms.

If Team Win gets it working for the Z ports consistently then I will thank them and buy the paid version. I have seen another poster having an isssue on Warm Z so it may be something with these ports. Don't have enough of a sample yet.

Either way I am really impressed at this product and will support as best I can. Since it is so early in its lifecycle it can only get better and the fact that the team is willing to try and understand all of the issue AND work them is fantastic!

Thank you so much. Again let me know if I can provide anything that can help you track down the issue

I purchesed the app hoping that maybe that would help. It didn't. Oh well was worth a shot.
