[Fascinate General] emtee_skull:
I don't know if this is proper, so please forgive me if I erred. This sectioned seemed the most appropriate. So I just wanted to say hi.

Hi

I am a new owner of the Samsung Fascinate. 3 days now.

I looked around the different communities and this one seemed like the one with a lot of knowledge. I would like to thanks everyone for all the helpful post I have read lurking about now.

I plan on using custom roms in the future. But I plan on learning as much as I can before I jump into it deep.

I have rooted the phone so far. Now I am trying to learn what the best/most stable mod to install.

There are a lot of great post here and I have learned a lot so far. I do have some experience with rooting/install cyanmod on the old droid. But it was such an old phone by the time I got it, that modding was just a few clicks. There seems to be some meat still on the bone when it comes to modding the Fascinate. I just don't want to kill the phone by doing something ignorant.

Once again thanks for the future help I know I'll be asking. And if you have any tips or advice feel free to offer it.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
Hmm there's a quite a bit to know. The next step would be to install clockwork recovery and do a nandroid backup of your current rom so you can flash back if something goes wrong (It is very hard to permanently brick this phone). After you do that then you would be able to flash roms and kernels by simply flashing in clockwork mod. Question, do you plan on using voodoo or nonvoodoo roms/kernels?
[Fascinate General] emtee_skull:
Yeah I read that it was hard to brick it.

From what I understand about vodoo is it's a more efficient file system, right? I like the sound of that.

So I would say yes to vodoo.

But I don't want to lose any functionality So I am hoping that is only bleeding edge mods, not stable ones like evil or community. I'm studying more one those 2 since they seem to be the go to ones.

I also wonder does modding open up the Fascinate to multiple corporate emails accounts. As it is now I'm locked to only one, freaking Verizon. I need one more.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
The Voodoo lagfix involves speed, sound, and display improvements. It converts the file system to EXT4 from the slower RFS file system that Samsung put on it. The voodoo sound is a driver that uses the Galaxy S audiophile digital to analog converter to output a lot of power to high end headphones without using more power. The voodoo color fix involves getting rid of the bluish tint on most Galaxy S devices and making the colors more true and reducing the sharpness a little bit to be more easy on the eyes. You can read more about it here:

http://project-voodoo.org/

Comm rom and Evil Fascination both support the voodoo kernels. Once you get these roms up and running, you must install "Voodoo Control" from the market and that will allow you to use the audiophile DAC in the Fascinate and will make your music come to life if you have a good pair of high end headphones! Remember, never flash a nonvoodoo kernel over a voodoo kernel because you with get force close hell. Only flash voodoo over voodoo or if you feel the need to flash back to nonvoodoo you must disable the lagfix in clockwork mod recovery. If you need assistance on setting up voodoo, let me know!
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Voodoo kernels are basically converting RFS to EXT4 (non native to native Android filesystem), making the phone much smoother. It also allows for special mods unique to the Galaxy S line, such as Voodoo Sound and Voodoo Color. Both are beneficial and have almost no harm in experimenting with. The general consensus about kernels is that it should be a Voodoo one.

EDIT: Oops, a little too late. He's right as well.

[Fascinate General] emtee_skull:
Thanks. Ill definately go with vodoo. Seems like a no brainer.

Pathetic, imho, that samsumg/verizon get all the money, yet don't put the effort into getting it right the first time. On the surface seems like laziness.There may be some issues that tie their hands. But it is no excuse. They should be thanking the heavens that the community picks up thier slack
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
I agree completely. They also use us as testing gerbils, I believe =/. That can be good for the average consumer in the long run though. Supercurio, the creator of project voodoo, I believe has been in talks with Samsung recently for some sort of job offer. I don't know the details.
[General Questions and Answers] shinnee:
Hi all,

recently i just bought a PMP, Viliv P3 Prime and it runs on WinCE 6.0 & Android 2.1. I have no issue with the Android platform but on the WinCE, the interface language are all in Korean. Can you guys guide me on changing the language for this device? i read about getting *.0409.mui files which I cant find and about putting them in /windows folder which i can't find it in the PMP also.

Thanks in advance people.
[Optimus 7 General] killerflow1:
Hello,

I just got my LG optimus 7 but I encountered my first problem immediately.

When the screen flips to the horizontal position it does not come back to straight position when i hold my phone in that position. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Many thanks!

greetz
[Optimus 7 General] jontatas:
In what application? Or just generally?

/J
[Optimus 7 General] killerflow1:
Generally ... Is it possible to turn auto-rotate off?
[Optimus 7 General] jontatas:
Possibly by changing/deleting registry keys.

You should have all keys and values under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\Accelerometer

I haven't fully explored it so I can't say exactly what key/value you need to change, but I'd guess the important value would be the Dll that holds the name of the dll used by the accelerometer.

I haven't tried this though so be warned I might be totally off on this, most likely there are others on the forums that know more.

/J
[Optimus 7 General] killerflow1:
I just recalibrated the accelerometer using the MFG-tool I found here on the forum.

Works fine now!

greetz
[Optimus 7 General] jontatas:
Good!

MFG rocks. ;)

Yes, I fear the my next (probably in one or two year) purchase of a new WP7 device that will not come with a MFG app...
[G Tablet General] dfdtitmouse:
Seems that Woot is selling the Gtablet again for $279 (good for 5/7, until 5/8 @ 1:00AM EST).

I just bought mine. I was going to save for an Ipad but who cares i am going all Android.
[Bravo Themes and Apps] jorgonv:
Themed to look like the Gingerbread (2.3.x) Motoblur Builds from devices like:

Droid X/X2/2/3, Photon 4G, Triumph, and Atrix​

This will work on BravoX Rom as well as stock Bravo 2.2.1 (as tested by abhi897)

I have only tested it on BravoX RC2 so I can't guarantee any results, anything you do to damage your phone is not my responsibility.​

This modifies all of the framework-res.apk and some of the services.jar​

What it changes:​

Status Bar & icons

Popup menus

Buttons

Drop down menus

"loading" spinners

and other things i can't remember

Requirements:​

Root

BandroidX's bootstrap recovery or Sndinit.apk (below) or have ADB set up with knowledge

some knowledge on what you need to do if something goes wrong with your phone (e.g. SBF, nandroid restore)

To apply:​

(With bootstrap recovery or 2ndInit)​

Download the flashable zip below to sdcard

Boot into CWM recovery through BandroidX's recovery app

make a nandroid backup

Select install zip from sdcard

Select choose zip from sdcard

Select the downloaded .zip.zip

select yes to confirm

wait for installation to finish (a few seconds)

Reboot (will take a while because of the modded services.jar, so BE PATIENT!) Pull Battery and boot up again if boot takes longer than 5 minutes

Enjoy your theme!

(With ADB)​

Download the .zip to you computer

Extract the services.jar and framework-res.apk to where your ADB directory is

Plug your phone in with phone portal and ADB debugging enabled (settings>applications>development)

Open up your command prompt

Type these commands (after each, press enter):

cd [directory of adb and .jar and .apk]
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb reboot

(reboot will take awhile because you are modding the services.jar, so BE PATIENT!) Pull Battery and boot up again if boot takes longer than 5 minutes

Things needed in upcoming updates:​

Change some white font to black for easier reading (such as pull down menus)

If there is anything else, let me know

Changelog:​

1.4

Updated all status bar .pngs to match the newest builds from Motorola

1.3

Changed progress bar to have grey outline like the Droid X

1.2

Changed animations and other .pngs to better match the Droid X with 2.3.3

1.1

Changed status bar date color to white

Made orange pull-bar (in 3rd pic below) blue

Made download progress bar blue

1.0

Initial release

Thanks to:​

BandroidX for the awesome ROM and bootstrap

Daneshm90 for the .zip creator http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717437

EXTRA- if you want Gingerbread Market notifications and Gmail notifications follow these steps:​

Note: you don't need my status bar mod, it will work on any phone.

Download Gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip from below

put on sdcard

uninstall market and gmail

rename the vending.apk and gmail.apk (located in system/app/) to vending.bak and gmail.bak

boot into CWM recovery

Wipe Cache

Select install from zip from sdcard

select choose zip from sdcard

select gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip

install

[Bravo Themes and Apps] bandroidx:
Very Cool, I have DroidX and wow it looks just like it in the pics! I am going to install this on my dev bravo and check it out.

One note to users, I would not use the services.jar w/o my ROM, the services.jar is deodexed and you cant mix a dedodexed services.jar w/ a non-deodexed framework, you will bootloop.
[Bravo Themes and Apps] TimelesslyPrecise:
This is Very Cool Jorgonv!!!

Jorg, is there a way we can get an Odexed version of the "services.jar" file, for those who wish to use the stock rom?

How does it run on the hardware? Any issues so far?

I will probably flash back over to the latest RC and test it out.

Lately, i have preferred staying on the stock Rom, as it seems to score better in Quadrant... (i think maybe because of the deodexing, it needs to do more at start-up, leaving some resources still open, or used.)

Never-the-less, I think the Rom bandroidx has compiled for is is am amazing piece of work, and only the beginning to our list of supported Os versions!!!

I can't wait to load this theme up on the RC.

Will test it out and see how it goes!!

bandroidx,

Do you foresee any work with a complete vanilla gingerbread, or higher, version of android being cooked?

This bootloader situation seems kind of sticky to me, what kind of keywords would you recommend i search for, in efforts to overcome this limitation?

Thanks!!
[Bravo Themes and Apps] kyngnothing:
I love it!:D

Two requests/questions:

*It seems like my "synching" notification icon never goes away?

* Any plans on including a circle battery icon?
[Bravo Themes and Apps] jorgonv:
Glad you like it. I've seen some people with the same syncing icon problem and the only solution was to wipe data.:(

I'm not planning to making it with a circle icon, this theme is only droid x 2.3.

I will be making more themes in the future, possibly with circular battery icons.
[Bravo Themes and Apps] jorgonv:
I tried to make an odexed version before bandroid's rom came out, but had no success. I could try again

I dont think the odexed version would make the phone run any slower. I am running the rom fine at 1 ghz and no lag. The only difference is the first boot-up after wiping the cache. after that, it boots up at the normal speed
[Bravo Themes and Apps] bandroidx:
you should read android central's new piece of quadrant benchmarks. real world feel is probably a better indicator and the rom feels faster.

the rom removes bloatware and services that would usually run and waste memory like voice commander nad others, the deodexing if anything should speed things up.

i am starting to think odexing is just a way for a oem to lock things down a little more. but i really dont know too much about beyond the basics.

quadrant can be swayed far too much by IO, and io can be effected so easily in so many ways.

either way, i wouldnt concern yourself too much with quadrant scores when deciding to run the rom or not. quadrant can be a good indicator like when overclocking (and nothing else has changed except clock speed) but when it comes to different rom's I am not sure its as good of an indicator. I do own quadrant advanced though so I can run it on the rom and see what scores differ specifically, i am betting on IO, but who knows.
[Bravo Themes and Apps] bullet358:
Tell you what...I'm not fond of the cost of these projects but I got a $30 donation if somehow you can change the swype color path to red...
[Bravo Themes and Apps] jorgonv:
Swype Beta, or the stock bravo one?
[Bravo Themes and Apps] TimelesslyPrecise:
True. I flashed over to rc2, only, and it scored near the same rang as the stock..

I concur with the topic of real world feel, and benchmarks.. Benchmarks can only tell you so much.. :)

Well, my interest is more towards breaking the boot loader moto has placed upon the newer phones.. Do you know of any current projects to defeat this you may be able to link me too?

just sent you the file you requested above...

also, i noted, i will have to try and clear the cache next time i install it, and see if that works...

Thanks Jorgonv!!
[Bravo Themes and Apps] GeNiO426:
I'm having the same clock text color problem for the update, but I already tried re-flashing and that didn't work. I'm going to try doing the cache this time to see if it works.

Edit: After wiping both the Davlik cache and the cache partition I re-flashed, but the clock text didn't change. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out.
[Bravo Themes and Apps] jorgonv:
I'll look into it more since there is a couple of people having problems

Just to make sure, it is date font when you pull down the status bar that is still white?
[Bravo Themes and Apps] Jared152:
Great job on this theme, it really is great!
[Bravo Themes and Apps] GeNiO426:
Okay, thanks. Yeah, the text for the time in the upper right hand side and the text of the date when you pull down the notifications bar.

For me, right now, the clocks time text is black and the date text when you pull down the notifications bar is more of a gray.

The date text isn't too bad, but the time text is close to being impossible to read. I have to get close to do so.

Thanks again.

Did anyone who used this have the text change?
[Bravo Themes and Apps] bullet358:
Sure thing sir.

I JUST left Sprint to come to VZ 3 days ago. Left my rooted and customized Epic 4g behind... and I am really hoping there are some killer roms for the thunderbolt that can live up to the quality of the roms available for the Epic. (ACS does amazing work on Epic, havent seen anything for this phone yet). What are the favorite/most stable roms out there to play with? (and is anything available that is deodexed and preferably ext4 converted??)

The best ROM is the one that suits your needs the best.

That said, since I bought it (a day after it was released) and since I rooted it (as soon as the instructions were available) I have been using either Das BAMF or Tesla Coil since each came out (switching back and forth between them every other week or so). I like the features of BAMF and I like the AOSPness of Tesla Coil. YMMW. Enjoy your new phone! :)

[Samsung Mesmerize] Wombatant:
I recently installed the latest version of Heinz 57 on my mesmerize.

Here is an order of what i did.

1) "EC10_Root_recovery.tar.md5" flashed to device

2) "update.zip" applied to blue cwm (and "cwm-recovery-ALL.zip" applied to boot in red rather than blue and apply the update.zip every time)

3) "Mesmerize_EC10_PnP_0.5.zip" installed via red cwm (you need this before heinz, so i read/found out the hard way)

4) "Heinz_57.Hybrid_v4_30_11_OTB.zip" applied to device.

5) attached USCC apps and a few others from the PnP addons

Everything works great, EXCEPT the GPS.

I tried re-flashing and reinstalling all the zips, but the GPS just never really finds my location.

Symptoms:

a. My Foursquare widget on the desktop is useless and says "No Location Info. Click to Locate".

b. My latitude updated once, but refuses to update again.

c. I downloaded "GPS Status" to try and diagnose the problem. Rather than have little green satellites with numbers next to them, i have one large-ish brown circle and one hollow green circle. At the bottom of the screen, the GPS is constantly rotating (thinking) trying to get a lock, but nothing happens. I tried using GPS Status to reset the GPS data, but nothing happened.

Can anyone help me??

Thanks in advance!
