[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Thanks to Andmer MMS is now working. JT has used Andmer's MMS fix for the MIUI ROM and got it to work for CM7. So it is now safe for everyone to bask in the CM7 goodness

I'm putting this right up at the top of the OP so everyone can find it. If you are trying to flash the CM7 test 5 and you are getting the status 7 get.prop errors you have to unzip the ROM and go to META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and delete the first 4 lines. By unzipping that doesn't mean right click and chose extract here. It means if you have 7 zip or winrar, just double click on the ROM file, double click on META-INF, double click on com, double click on google, double click on android, double click on updater-script, you will get a pop up window asking what program you want to open it with, choose notepad then follow nemesis2all's instructions here:

After you do that, save and update the notepad file, close the notepad file and you should get a pop up from winrar or 7 zip asking if you want to save the changes to the updater-script file, click yes. You can double click on the updater-script file and open with notepad just to make sure the changes saved. Close up the winrar or 7 zip window and you can now move the modified ROM zip to your sd card and flash with no problems.

- CM7 test builds 7 and newer and the accompanying recoveries attached in the OP have corrected the problem with the asserts, so you won't need to do the above with test build 7 as long as you use the attached recovery. Both links are the same recovery, the tar file is flashed through ODIN and the zip file is flashed through CWM.

Well since it was my idea to start a General thread for all discussion, speculation, and chatter regarding CM7, only fitting I should be the one to do it. Jt has asked several times that thank you posts, X/Y/Z doesn't work posts, I'd flash this ROM if posts, and bug reports without logcats not be posted because they just clutter up the thread. There is a ton of excitement as jt, times_infinity, nemesis2all and everyone else working on it bring the Fascinate closer to a fully functioning CM7 build, and the thread is being overrun with posts either asking when it will be ready, or just posts expressing excitement over the pending release or progress toward that release. I read through the entire thread this morning, and since jt has joined his work into mainline CM7 this is where it stands:

Everything, yes everything INCLUDING MMS. That includes camera, camcorder, video codecs, bluetooth (although I remember it mentioned possibly not A2DP but I could be wrong), & sms. Times_infinity has mentioned it was a matter of getting the RIL to work. I'm sure many of you know what RIL stand for and what it does. I did not so I had to look it up, and for those of you who also don't know - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Interface_Layer

So let's do jt and crew a favor and use this thread for all speculation, discussion, and chatter about CM7 for the Fascinate. I will do my best to update info as I hear it, but everyone else is free to do the same also. This is supposed to be for everyone's benefit, and since this is in the General Forum we can load this thread with as many posts as we want. If jt, times_infinity, or anyone else working on the CM7 build post an update in the CM7 thread in the Development section, repost the info here and we can discuss the update here. So feel free to post any news, rumors, speculation, discussion you want about CM7 for the Fascinate here.

And this doesn't have to be limited to jt's CM7 build either. Punk.kaos is also working on a CM7 build and this thread can also be a place for discussion about the differences between the two builds also. I would imagine there are people who prefer jt's build and never bother to keep track of kaos' build and vice versa. I'll see if I can work on putting together a comparative list of the two and post it later. But for now, let the discussion, speculation, and excitement begin..................

UPDATE 07/13

Jt1134 has released test build #10 here at XDA in his CM7 thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116424

You can view the changelog in that thread

Also nemesis2all has released his newest MTD OTB kernel, and it can be found here for those who want to manually undervolt and/or overclock the kernel:

Copied from the OP in that thread:

Working:

Calls!!

SMS

3G data

GPS!!

Bluetooth!!

WiFi

Camera/Camcorder

USB mass storage / sdcard

Sensors!!

MMS! (thanks andmer!)

Not Working:

bugs I dunno :p

Now that all of that is working, jt1134 has said he is going to clean up his CM tree and submit this build for acceptance into mainline Cyanogen. That would mean we would be eligible to get nightly builds of CyanogenMod. This is extremely exciting and shows you how good the devs are that jt1134 seems likely to have a completely 100% working, functional Gingerbread ROM for our phones before samsung/verizon do.

Let's keep this thread going while everyone who wants to and can is testing this build. Times_infinity has asked we not post bug reports with logcats in the test build thread at this time. So let's keep the general chatter and what do you like/not like about it in this thread, along with discussion of bugs and problems. AND DON'T FORGET TO THANK THE MAN:D:D:D

Also don't forget times_infinity who has been working with jt1134 on this and nemesis2all for his kernel work. Lots of thanks and appreciation to be given to all these guys. Show them the love.

(Donations don't hurt either for those who can afford to. Plus seems like jt is doing some of his best work when he's drinking so I'm more than happy to try and keep his beer fund full.)
