Hey all, so I tried to just wipe cache/dalvik cache coming SC2.9, but got stuck in the boot loop.

So, tomorrow after making sure everything wife needs is backed up for sure -- I want to make sure I do everything correct..so let me make a check list.

1. Reboot Recovery

2. Factory Reset

It should then come back to CWM menu, right?

3. Select zip and flash

Then?

3a. Reboot, then reboot again to CWM, flash patch?

3b. Flash patch then reboot

Sorry if I'm a noob...not as familiar with this phone vs mine.

THANKS!

[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
Add wiping cache and dalvik cache to step #2 and do 3a. Reboot after flashing the ROM. Let it fully load, then boot to cwm, flash patch.
[Fascinate Android Development] jbjarko:
One more request. I don't know where this portion of it comes from, or if it is even possible to implement in this ROM, but, when creating a new text, when on 2.9.2 and some others, I had the option of choosing recent, contacts; selecting multiple contacts, etc.

The way it is now, which IIRC is the way it was back in the Eclair days; sucks.

That is all, this ROM is badass otherwise!
[Fascinate Android Development] jk0l:
dont know if anyone noticed this

but swype.apk is 10 mb

is it because of the theming?

still that is about 5x the previous ones

May have been covered way back, as i only check past 20 or so post. For those with poor battery life even after running the bstats script and calibrating, try leaving wifi off while unplugged. Noticed that was where all of my power was going. With wifi on and no network present, it burned through 10% an hour with light use. Turned wifi off and coasted through 30% over six hours of fairly high use.

Also ive not attempted using rom manager since my days using the og droid as i was under the impression it caused issues with this phone. Might have been mistaken in it being a no no for our phone but i noticed it is a recommended tool in the general beginners guide while skimming old threads. Is it safe for any good reason on here, and should it be spoken of in the guide for beginners? May just be paranoid after a few bad experiences with automated apps but should they not be avoided. Only mention it here as a previous post above with issues stated using it at least some.
[Fascinate Android Development] ChadZ:
My market is still FC'd on me.

I cleared cache, data, rebooted, did a wipe cache in CWM too.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
There is a note in the OP saying the author is rewriting the guide due to all the recent changes. The OP was edited to say that at 8 something PM last night. Rom manager is still not functional for our phones as far as I know. Times_infinity has even put out a different CWM 3.0 than the one available through rom manager if that is any indication of whether or not rom manager still does not work for the Fascinate. My advice would be to still steer clear of it.

[Fascinate Android Development] iviustang50h:
I flashed back to stock yesterday, fixed my data issue by activating an old phone, then reactivating my Fascinate, then I put odin and the Comm rom back on the phone, then finally flashed 1.2. Everything is great except the phone has frozen twice, then rebooted. Has any one else had the same issue? Other than this issue my phone is running better than it ever has.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
So, was this rom built from the platform source released by sammy a while back? I guess it doesn't matter much if it was the fascinate source or the mez source..

I'm wondering if it's possible to put together a build that has a complete stagefright build including the native C++ command-line interface like in the CM builds? If I'm way off base in thinking it wouldn't be terribly hard, then could one of the devs show me the error of my ways? I guess I just really want to be able to play an audio file in a terminal/shell...

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
Here is the latest English/Spanish only Swype. It has the wonderful Gingerbread theme and my themed popups. It clocks in at only 2MB.

1) Go into your Application settings and "Clear Data" for Swype

2) Delete /system/app/Swype.apk

3) Delete /system/lib/libSwypeCore.version.number.here.so

4) Unpack this zip file, this is NOT an update.zip, do not attempt to flash this in recovery

5) Copy APK to /system/app - set permissions to 644, make sure ownership is root.root or 0.0

6) Copy library to /system/lib - set permissions to 644, make sure ownership is root.root or 0.0

7) Reboot into recovery, clear Dalvik Cache

8) Reboot your device and select Swype as your keyboard

[Fascinate Android Development] mrjake1970:
after reading 80% of the posts here, i waited until last night to flash this since i was hoping for many of the initial bugs to get worked out.

followed instructions in first post and have been running this since last night. no major issues to report, no fc on anything. i did have the "frozen" tibu issue as well and afresh install and fixpms did/ has not resolved it.

my only gripe would be the kernel being included with the patch(es). my phone does not like the otb kernels. im actuality running smother and faster with jt's 4-15 voodoo...

agree with the vast majority that this blows superclean away..

rock on gents and thanks for all the hard work getting this to us!

Loving this rom/kernel etc.

Running a bit undervolted, and experiencing amazing battery life. Did a hike yesterday using MyTracks app, and for 8 miles the battery drained only about 20 percent!

However, what I did notice was that none of my pictures were Geotagged. This certainly isn't a huge deal, but would be cool. Anyone else having same issue? I searched this thread and didn't see a post.

Do I have to turn it on in the camera app, or is it automatic when GPS is on?

thanks

Odin back to stock, then follow the directions line by line. also be patient Alot of people think its frozen on boot for the first time as it takes a while, as well as the voodoo conversion. Just follow the directions to get back to stock, grab the new modem through ota while your already there. Then follow the directions to 1.2, and give everything a chance to finish.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Fascinate Android Development] beray5:
Try running with the screen brightness at minimum, limit CPU clock to 1000MHz, use CFQ or BFQ, removing all uv voltages. Basically minimizing latency, voltage transients, and voltage droops which all could have cause GPS drop outs.

Forgot to add - avoid using more than 5 freq states reducing jitter errors.

Was the phone hot while you were using it as a GPS? GPS devices do not tolerate high temp very well at all.

BTW, make sure you troubleshoot the right problem, if you have THIS, the result symptom every few minutes is similar but it isn't a GPS problem.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jpac175:
hey guys, im running the rom now and love it but it crashes a lot and reboots like every 30 mins i think its the kernel i added after install. I'm using PeanutButta Jelly Time voodoo. Any way i can just flash the original kernel? help pl0x :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Suicide Shift:
If you mean the original Kernel that came with Kangbang just reflash Kangbang. I know the V1.2 patch had kernel changes so I "think" you can just flash that to get the kernel that came with Kangbang.

To be sure you get the Kangbang Kernel though you may want to just flash the V1.0 and then the patch V1.2.

whats going on guys i got a few questions if you could answer that would be awesome first im going to be flashing this rom for the first time and i am coming from evil fascination should i just wipe data/cache then install from sd then also do i flash the 1.2 patch right after installation of 1.0 any help would be awesome
[Fascinate Android Development] gkirby11:
No intention to be mean but this has been explained countless times and is actually in the OP.

Just about every other page has someone asking some iteration of this question.

Hell I even found a complete guide to flashing this ROM when I used the search button. :eek:
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
Why do I keep getting random vibrations on this rom? Like I'll honestly be doing nothing on the homescreen after a clean wipe/install and it'll just randomly vibrate on me in either groups of threes or single long ones. It seems to have gone away after switching to the gingerbread keyboard but I'd still rather use Swype...
[Fascinate Android Development] devlp1213:
the random vibrations is something force closing/not opening right. if its swype what you need to do is make sure swype isn't selected as default keyboard first. move a fresh swype.apk to the system/app folder then reboot. reboot not always needed but I recommend it to just make sure everything gets read right. then you should be able to use swype again with out the fcs

[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
What scheduler are you using? And what is your clock limited to?
[Fascinate Android Development] minho422:
Is it supposed to vibrate shortly and dims the screen on bootscreen right before the phone boots to homescreen? It happens every time I reboot.

Happens to me every time on a successful reboot.

Anyone having issue with toggles on drop down panel? I have been working on a theme and in all honesty have flashed my phone ALOT but in my drop down I have two issues. 1. No toggle sound when I press data on/off button 2. Orientation toggle stops working if I press it on/off a couple of times. Anyone else? If this has been addressed I apologize but thread is outta control.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
Orientation not toggling (or at least registering that it has) has been an issue since froyo came out in some form for me...its not a theme/mod issue
[Fascinate Android Development] GrainOsand:
Thanks, nitjus17, 1st time I noticed it. I almost never use either toggle so I just wanted to make sure I didnt screw up one of my xml edits....
[Fascinate Android Development] gkirby11:
Here is how I have the page set up using the set up by the user you requested.

Make sure you have only 7 states checked under the states TAB, and only hit apply for now in the menu. If it is stable for you after a couple of days you can hit apply boot settings.

good luck!:D

Edit: you can't screw up your phone if you don't set it for you boot settings. If something is wrong it will restart with stock settings unless you have applied the settings which mean you need to do a data/dal wipe to get it back.

Battery life is atrocious on this kernel or whatever is responsible for such things.

1. Wiped battery stats when the battery got to 0.

2. Charged to 100.

3. Went to work out at gym with 50% battery left. Gym is on top floor, with clear no buildings on side. A clear view of sky on 2 sides, walls on other 2.

4. Listened to slacker over 3G.

5. 1 and half hour later, the phone was dead.

NO overclocks or any undervolting. The kernel by imnuts has been the best for me yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] devlp1213:
yes

Blue WP7 2.2 Community, Fascinating
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
As far as I know you are doing several things wrong.

1. It often takes several charge cycles to get proper battery reporting.

2. Why would you clear bstats at 0%? The phone knows when the battery is out of juice. What it now doesn't know is what full capacity is. Its pretty much expected you would have bad results if you do this. The phone may say it is 100% charged but that may not be true as you decided to wipe the stats at 0.

3. you didn't tell us what actually was using the battery. What was the biggest season on the system?

4. You replaced the kernel and are complaining about the kernel and say its the best? I dont know what you are even taking about. Does this mean the problem is resolved?

5. Whatever you did with the kernel, you likewise have to wait several cycles to see accurate battery stats.

You are in the minority if you are having "atrocious" batttery life which means the issue is likely with your configuration or an application you use. Start by charging to 100% asian on the phone. When it gets there turn it off and let it charge till it hits 100. Boot right into recovery and then wipe stats.

Once you do that check for wake locks with spate parts and monitor what is using the most battery under settings.

Above all have patience because it will take time.to get accurate readings.
[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
No I didn't replace the kernel. imnuts' kernel is what I was using on SC and that had the best battery life. I still have the kernel that came with this ROM. Ok, I'll wipe stats when it's 100% on the phone now.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Not sure if this has been mentioned as I discovered it just now while listening to music off my phone in my car and didnt feel like paging thru the entire thread on it. The music player won't let me jump to other parts of any music tracks regardless of file type. I can always restore one from another ROM but thought I'd share this.
[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
Q. When the Wifi policy is to turn off when screen off, does it turn back on periodically to check if new updates were made like gmail ?

The reason I say this is because I had three emails in gmail on my PC, and I didn't get a notification on my phone for the 15-20 mins I waited for it to show up. Then I turned screen on, wifi turned on automatically and got the update for three emails.

Nearly all of the problems you have been hearing about are not the fault of the rom.

If you follow the instructions and read you can be like myself and have zero issues since day 1.

Have I had fc a few times? Yes but I made it happen with fiddling around with settings or themes

Community Rom 1.2 voodoo SCH-I500 using XDA App
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Yes soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] chrisexv6:
Agreed.

ive been on plenty of different ROMs (BlackHole SuperClean, etc) and this has been the best performing, most stable yet. The combination of the devs that went into this was amazing, and I think that shows in the final product.

Ive gotten an occasional FC here and there, but far less than any other ROM Ive tried before (and even previous ROMs werent that bad). Ive never run the phone with a stock setup, but Id have to say Id rather deal with a few FCs here and there vs all the bloated junk that VZW adds on top of not-the-greatest Samsung programming to begin with.

I have far more faith in the devs and products on XDA/IRC than VZW or Samsung.
[Fascinate Android Development] yaheath:
I have to disagree with you there. I've had a lot of problems with this rom, and I have been following instructions and reading this thread ever since this rom was announced.

Here's more detail: ED01 baseband, I have not modified the theme at all, I have not overclocked or adjusted voltages, I did all the requisite wipe data/cache etc., did *228, tried different schedulers, and still had these problems:

3G data was unreliable and refused to stay connected. I could usually get data back for a little while by toggling it off then back on but it would quit after some random amount of time.

Several apps crashed (FC) that I never had a problem with before.

Once I woke up to find the clock went back to 1/1/2000.

Several times had sleep-of-death, requiring a battery pull.

I went back to SC 2.9.2 with jt1134's TW-kernel-0415, and my phone is solid again, and 3G data is working reliably again, so that contradicts the notion that the 3G problems are not the rom's fault (at least in my case)
[Fascinate Android Development] ace5198:
ur 3G problems have nothing at all to do with the rom kernal or radio.. vzw is having data problems.. its been in and out for everyone..
[Fascinate Android Development] nsmal24:
GPS

Love this ROM and love my Fascinate.

There is only one minor complaint that I have had of my Fascinate since I first got it and that is GPS. I had high hopes for ED01, but it doesn't seem to have resolved much for me as far as GPS goes. I'll reiterate the issues I'm having and see if any of them can be addressed on a ROM level (though I know that it is bigger than just any one ROM).

1. Widget GPS toggles rarely (if ever) will result in a GPS lock. GPS must be toggled from Settings, Location (Standalone only).

2. Toggling from Settings approx 50% of the time, still does not result in a lock. I have to cycle through GPS Test (or Maps) and toggling on/off to finally get a lock. It can be one time and it can be 3-4 times.

3. I have tried the recommendation to change the GPS time server, and it didn't seem to make too much of a difference (this may be built into Community...can't remember).

As I stated in the beginning, this ROM is the best I've ever used. I am hoping the sharp devs who support this ROM may be able to address some/all of the GPS issues. If it's hardware though...it's hardware. Sigh.
