[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
i think there is more work amongst people on the fascinate then most phones...the majority of themers all learned from one another and freely help each other whether through pms/irc/posts

most experienced people are happy to help those newer on the scene to learn and do things for themselves...personally i try and answer as much as i can about the stuff i know and even started a theming guide (admittedly i havent kept up with it lately :o)

people ive helped stuff with in the past, now help me with stuff that theyve figured out...its fun to see that stuff happen

as for development most everyone gets along and actually are on a pretty friendly basis...most hang out in irc daily together...

tsm basically started as a joke amongst several of us in irc and then we decided to work together...and if you look at the contributors to com rom and those who have tsm badges throughout the forums...its a lot of folks that have worked together :)
[Fascinate General] bratliff:
@nitsuj17 that is good to hear. My comments were not intended to be accusatory just my impression. I appreciate what all the devs do even if I don't use it because there is a lot of time invested by all if them. I followmost and see how active you all are. Anyways back on topic.

read about each rom, read the feed back then backup and give it a shot. For me I think you should run it for atleast 2 daysof normal use to decide how you like it

Then try another and see. I have tried com rom, ef and stock debloated, this is starting day two of ef and soo far for my uses it works a touch better. But I ran com rom for over a week and other than battery life I was very happy with it. But soo far I think battery life just isn't what I was used to with dx not bad just not the same.
[Fascinate General] jptech7:
Same here... ef is good, but ComRom works great for me. I am crossing my fingers for a new CM 7 release with camera and mms working. From some rumors that I have heard, that should be in the near future.

[Fascinate General] dr_w:
Doesn't the EF rom NOT have a working camera? Why would you want a ROM with a non-working camera? Its clearly stated in the very first post. I'm running ComRom 1.3 and sure its a little bit buggy but has been great.
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
Ur thinking of cm7 buddy... EF is fully functional
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
This is what I was 2 get at while being brief as possible... the delv help each other out a lot here n share most of their work with the public... I actually really like this community and for the most part it is pretty tight knit n everyone like 2 help out if they can
[Fascinate General] Robyna2010:
Yep, EF camera works great. Not one issue with it yet. *knocks on wood*

[Fascinate General] baron4406:
Was running EF for about an month after coming from Comm Rom (way too buggy). Ran great but it seemed to freak out. I lost all my settings and even most of my power button options. Very wierd. So I wiped and went back to Comm Rom and its ok, but weird there are no TSM options. Battery life is horrible with both Roms. What good is a data phone if you have to have everything turned off to make it last a day? What a joke these phones are I'm certainly not wasting my money on another data phone/package when my contract comes up.
[Fascinate General] nitroglycerine33:
Did you wipe batt stats with either one?
[Fascinate General] jpx213:
ive been on EF ever since i rooted my phone for about a month now. i went straight to it, so i have no comparison to the stock battery life. but from my experience, my battery has made it through the whole day from 9 am to at least 9 pm with pretty heavy usage. my school has wifi all over campus so im constantly on wifi checking fb, reading news, and listening to music. ive deleted battery stats once.
[Fascinate General] baron4406:
Yea Nitro tried everything, just have to keep everything turned off. I used to be able to keep my bluetooth on before Froyo, but not anymore. I'm absentminded and always forget to turn it on.
[Fascinate General] dr_w:
You are so right dude....thanks....think I'll give it a try now. My battery life with ComRom is suffering.
[Fascinate General] dbcalo:
So far I like the community rom better. My only issue was that my battery got out of sync, and it had to be recalibrated. So, if your battery life gets shortened to 5-6 hours after flashing, you need to recalibrate your battery.

[Fascinate General] skynet11:
It's time for a third horse in the race, an ED01 ROM that's significantly different from both CR and EF... I wish I had a working optical drive on my PC so I could install Ubuntu 11 and learn how to do it myself.

[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
since touchwiz roms arent source built theres actually no need to do much in linux unless you are building apks to add in

and really what differentiates tw roms from one another are the mods in them...so you would have to have an idea of what you want to incorporate and figure out how to make it happen
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Definitely the fxpms and bstats scripts, the superfast gallery mod (EDIT: GrainOSand posted it from the I9000 forum, but it really speeds up the gallery app), and theme support :) Obviously I would include more mods and give credit where due, but I just woke up from a nap and can't think of them right now :)

[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
Jts gettin close with cm7 n once its complete it may very well be a one horse race until someone else can get a functioning GB rom out for the fascinate.. R2 maybe if enough support the cause...pk also but I think him n jt r collabing more now instead of doin seperate cm7s I could be wrong tho
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
if you look on other phones that have 100 percent functional cm, many still use the skin based roms....cm will be very popular no doubt, but on my other phones i rarely used it personally
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
Im jus excited bout it cuz I really like his alpha3 n use it almost all the time but I believe u r rite that many will stay on tw n a lot of ppl like miuiwiz.... I personally havent tried it yet but ive been wanting 2... Im jus afraid if I try it ill find myself using nandroid backups of diff roms throughout the week lol I already do it w EF n cm7 (only cuz cm7 isnt fully functional) but I also have a good feeling bout comm rom 2.0

[Fascinate General] skynet11:
I don't really like the MIUI interface that much anymore, especially the icons (nothing against your ROM, nitsuj, just referring to MIUI in general, as I tried jamezelle's MIUI back in the day and some other MIUI on my Captivate)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
Fix permissions/battstats are reflective of the recovery you are using...so a rom doesn't really impact that

And theme support? Don't really understand that one exactly...as any rom can be themed :-)
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
I mean having several themes to choose from. I noticed there are a myriad of themes made for CommROM, but the only themes for Evil Fascination are those Nitro designed himself (if course, he is one of the best themers in XDA). I don't know if CommROM themes will work on EF, because I haven't tried to flash one, but I would like my "third horse" ROM to have as many theme options available as possible (within reason). BTW, if I were to build a ROM myself, you can be sure it won't be named "third horse" ;)

[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
All that matters diff wise at this point is jts is much more stable.... A lot of fcs n wat not w pks version
[Fascinate General] s44:
All you need is 7zip, some apk compile/decompile scripts, a diff tool (optional), and the patience to sort through reams of dalvik bytecode (if you want to mess with your own mods).
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
Well you would have to convince the themers to theme your rom then....that's less about the rom then about their own personal choices :-)
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
So it seems as if CommROM is much more popular at least among the themers, then... I just saw about six new CR themes pop up in the last 2 days alone. Still, even though views and posts are roughly 2-to-1 in favor of the CR thread, 1,123 posts and 117,000 views (for EF) is nothing to sniff at.

I don't know how many users actually installed each of the ROMs (I've installed each at different times and am now on EF 3.6), but there is clearly a significant amount of interest in EF. I would have thought that more themers would support it (unless they're intimidated by Nitro's greatness at theming and feel their themes could never measure up ;))

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
I don't think anyone is intimidated by any fascinate themers....im not putting myself down or others which release on this phone....but compared to some of the real original themers out there like manup456 bgill55 jsinlegacy jabbawalkee etc we have no one that compares to that

The vast majority of themes on this phone are ports or remixes anyway...I have yet to see a totally original theme here

And even with that I can't see the work of any one themer that is a whole lot better that it stands out above the rest...now you may be inclined to like the selection of their themes...but that's personal preference

Out of curiousity I usually look through all the themes that go out to see the level of xml editing detail and image manipulation/creation involved..and imo there are about 5-7 really good themers...none of which separate themselves from another

Forum views/posts have nothing to do with the usage of a rom...I could manipulate them to whatever point im trying to make..for example you could say com rom has been out for half the time of ef so that coupled with forum stats equal a lot more usage...or conversely say that ef has less issues so less need for posts...and so on

Since com rom is mirrored all over the place we don't even know our downloads to get an idea that way

Both are popular roms for different reasons...com rom was made by some very smart people...and the mods of those people are used in ef...lockscreen mods, stay awake, status bar settings, full batt pop up etc, the various launcher mods, media scan etc

Im not putting down anything just saying for the many that do bash com rom or whatever and there are many...90% of what is in evil fascinate came from many of the people who made com rom

Just wanted to weigh in a little more and clarify somethings :-)
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
I was just kidding about themers being intimidated by Nitro - I was just throwing out a totally off-the-wall idea as to why more themers don't theme for EF (though I do like his work). I can't honestly say that one ROM is better than the other, nor is there any truly reliable metric out there as to how frequently each one is flashed. As I said, I just try each one alternately as each one is updated just to use the "latest and greatest." Likewise with themes (though my personal favorites are Nitro Honeycomb and the Crysis port for ED01 and Steelblue for the CM7 theme chooser for my Captivate). I mostly used your themes, nitsuj, when I ran Superclean, as I also like most of your work (so when you doin' a theme for CommRom?). So as you said, it all depends on personal choice, like Coke and Pepsi. Until I learn how to make ROMs myself, I'll just have to wait for the Dr. Pepper to come along ;) (MIUIWiz is the 7up, heh heh.)

[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
I havenf done a separate theme for com rom because doing the base gingerbread theme for that and for miuiwiz took weeks upon weeks...as well as other mods for each....plus I've been helping out with the charge a little bit

But to the point of why people don't theme for ef...you would have to ask each personally....but most personally run com rom...and generally you theme for the rom you like/use
[Fascinate General] Sn4ckm4st3r:
I know I am a totally newbie on the forum. However I am no stranger to rooting.

I have been flashing custom roms, interfaces, you name it onto little devices as long as I have had the ability to. I would never bash anyones works in anyway.

THAT BEING SAID. I put my little brother on my VW plan as of recently. We both ended up purchasing the Fascinate for $1.07 out the door at best buy. And being the guys we are, the first thing we did, was open out notebooks, and start gather things to get our root on.

I rooted the both of our phones, but for arguments sake, I ran EF (3.5.1 at the time) and he ran Com Rom. Even if one is built for the most part off of the other. I have been far happier with my EF (recently updated to 3.6 as well as installed the black facebook, gapps and so on included in that thread). To me EF seems to flow and run better then Com Rom 1.3 which I believe I put his phone on.

Either way, both deserve good work in their own sense. With my EF 3.6 I am running the gingerbread theme that was linked in that thread as well. And let me tell you, it turned my phone into one SEXY beast afterwards. =]
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
yes, the gingerbread theme is pretty complete...you're welcome
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
So you're the one who designed the gb theme that ended up in EF 3.6?

[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
It was pulled from com rom and made compatible with ef yes...its acknowledged in the ef op...and my apks are in there
[Fascinate General] iztel:
I've personally had a better experience with EF. CR has given me a lot of problem with force closes in each release. The one thing I liked about CR was all the themes available. I wasn't a fan of the red/black colors of EF but since releasing the Honeycomb theme for EF and experiencing more fc issues with CR 2 I've decided to stick with EF until CM7 fixes the bugs.

I currently run EF 3.6 with Times' Comavolt kernal and Zeam Launcher and everything runs smoothly and battery life is pretty good. Community Rom 2 was having some force close issues with zeam launcher and email. After flashing various kernals, wiping dalvic and cache and fixing permissions to no avail I gave up.

Before anyone gets upset I have nothing but a huge amount appreciation to all the developers here who selflessly devote their time to produce these roms, kernals and other mods for our phones. Many people have no issues at all with the Community Rom and it seems to run great. I guess everyone's phone reacts differently. The only way to know which is best for you is to try them both out.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
I don't know what to make of this, I have researched this and there is a mix reaction, some people are saying Gingerbread has made their battery life amazing, others are saying the story is not too good, well unfortunately I am one of them.

I installed my OTA Gingerbread update as normal. Now, I am lucky to get my phone through half a day's charge. I went to the Cinema today. Before going I made sure my battery was 100% charged. I did the phone-on, charge, phone-off, charge, phone-on, charge, phone-off, charge, phone-on method and i'm appalled to say today's usage has been terrible.

Whilst in the Cinema my phone used 40% of it's battery and I didn't use it once. The Mobile Internet was turned on however Wi-Fi and everything else was turned off. I have also noticed that when taking my phone to school, I may send 2-3 texts a day on it but when I get home i'm lucky to have 20% battery remaining.

Is it a problem with Gingerbread or something? I have had this battery for about 2 months and it was only until I updated to Gingerbread that I have noticed these problems. Because of it I did a factory reset yesterday. It's just annoying because Froyo seemed to do a better job...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
If it had this problem it would do several things

1-download from market battery calibrator and do it....

2-see in setting the process that are running for to see if there is any thing that its turned on (games, apk´s etc...)some apk´s drains badly the battery because they don´t close their proccess on android....

3-install some apk that says to you what apk´s are running and what´s the reason for the bad battery drain(spare parts for example)

Google is your friend.

Not naming your device in a "all inclusive" Q&A forum doesn't help, although I'm guessing that you have an Evo like I do. I'm not going to assume, though.

Do a nandroid backup and try out the available compatible Sense kernels. Give each one a few days before switching. Also read the thread "Kernel Starter Guide". It's stickied in one of the Evo subforums.

Ok here's what happened:

1.) Rooted using z4

2.) koush bootstrapped

3.) CWM recovery installed using rom manager

4.) wiped data through cwm and koush

5.) wiped system

6.) installed liberty 1.5

7.) rebooted. Let liberty boot up.

Problem is, she had about 15% battery left upon the start of all this. When i got back into liberty it almost immediately rebooted, and shut off. When i plugged in charging cord connected to computer, green LED came on, which shows me that maybe the battery is charging. Couldnt get power to come back on phone. Wondering if the phone was just too dead to come on or if i've bricked it by not having enough charge?

The woman who owns the phone had to leave suddenly with the phone , so I cant really find out till later tonight if she got it to turn on or not.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
One word of advice and then I will help you:

always always always charge your phone before flashing anything.

Now to help you:

There is a way to charge your battery without it being in your phone. Actually there are two; one costs money, and one is fun ;)

Money method: Buy a dock for the battery. It will charge it and youre all set.

Fun free method: this is also referenced as the "macgyver" method. It involves splicing a USB cable and putting the cable ends on your battery. It is not hard but could possibly be dangerous if you can't read instructions. Google it as I don't know the exact wording and I do not want to lead you in the wrong path

Extract the 8.2.3.9 zip file to the root of the microsd card on the pc. This should create a folder called ASUS with the update in there. Then insert it while the tablet is running.
