Likely not. You have to remember that this port is from the i9000 which already has had gingerbread for a while. Samsung changed a lot of other hardware besides the radios between models. Really, the answer to most "will x phone's leak help" questions is no unless it's a different i500 model (mesmerize, showcase).
[Fascinate General] TtWEAK:
Gotcha. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up getting Gingerbread last, so at least we have other carriers to possibly move things along. That is if jt doesn't beat the mobile giants Samsung and Verizon to the punch. Now that's something to brag about.

I am trying to do a *228 activation in CM7. How do you get the dialpad to come up so I can select option 1?
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Hold down the menu button until the keyboard comes up then switch to numerical and use the # 1 or 2 button from it.
[Fascinate General] jobu3434:
how did you manage that?
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
609 CM7 here, and the heavily modded TW4 from here.

Flashed CM7, got it all set up, threw the WizMod theme on there (Touchwiz theme) and flashed the TW4 from the link above through CM7 CWM.

Takes a little getting used to, as they've added a *lot*. Be sure to read the posts in that thread as it explains some of the quirks.

Best build I have seen to date....but always looking for a better one. If you run across one, *please* let me know. :)

[Fascinate General] church101:
is it sad that i check this stuff every hour or so waiting for a gps fix? really wish i didn't have to use it everyday.

I can't wait till this is done, came from a Dinc so kinda spoiled on the whole g-bread
[Fascinate General] jobu3434:
Wow NICE! I had found WizMod but this is interesting. Just went back to ComRom until deep sleep issues are resolved but def gonna look into this when it happens. thanks
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
Deep sleep issues can be fixed^Wworked around by installing two apps:

screebl

(keeps the screen on during calls)

and

SoftLocker Free

Keeps the phone in a wake-lock (Naztech extended battery suggested - $24 on Amazon.) I get ~23 hours of moderate-to-heavy use on this without plugging in.

Phantom ring (just the tone) still hits occasionally, but I am able to answer the call and tell them I'll call them back.
[Fascinate General] jobu3434:
I appreciate it. i tried softlocker and it just drained too much battery for my taste. im sure jt and crew will have a fix soon tho. i will remember screebl tho. thanks again.
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
I installed the TouchWiz4 apk and I can't put shortcuts in the Dock.
[Fascinate General] TtWEAK:
Nope, I'm guilty of that as well. Although, I'm just hoping for something more stable. I flashed MIUI two separate times already.
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
I did say to read the thread, but did I not? Go into the app drawer and hit menu-edit. You can then drag apps from the drawer to the dock... Along with some other nifty things. I :-D
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
I did, I just didn't see that part. Thanks. :)
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Sorry, doesn't work that way. Cell phones are designed as a system on a chip. A significant amount of the hardware above and beyond the actual cellular radio is different, including sensors and most likely GPS too. The SCH-I500 platform as a whole is quite different than all the rest of the Galaxy S series phones, which is in part responsible for causing the additional complications in development work that other Galaxy S phones don't have.

Are you running the beta Wizmod or his first release? My phone's status bar doesn't look anything like yours.

edit: There also seems to be a new problem... I went all this morning with all of my phone calls going straight to voice mail and having my SMS messages delayed.
[Fascinate General] Headcase8911:
Hey kid/shark...dudes, how will this gb leak help us? I thought I saw jt say it would help with sensors atleast....??
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
Same as above, seems like having actual working gingerbread should fix most everything, either by copying files or mimicking or whatever.

another great thing is for our MIUI lovers, hopefully after cm7 is merged into mainline Jamez would cook up some MIUI goodness
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
sms was always working, even on the earlier builds, at least according to the OP in jt's thread. MMS was not working on previous builds, but I'm pretty sure it is working now. I believe all work right now is being directed at radio and sensors that will allow RIL and all the other functions (sms, mms, phone calls, etc.) to work together instead of one working but another not. At least that is my understanding from my uneducated viewpoint.
[Fascinate General] dnoyeb:
Each phone gets its own. But until they are merged into mainline, they don't exist.
[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
This anticipation is killing me!!! Can't wait to have a phone that isn't a total chore to use!!!
[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
So basically this thread is the place to leave the useless comments that jt asked you to keep out of his thread?

[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Quick question: Should the .35 kernels run much better than the current hacked .32 ones in terms of speed and such?
[Fascinate General] adambobbyburgers:
Gotcha. Yeah I figured that since the RIL was responsible for sms/calls/data/mms, none of those would work because RIL's broken. I don't know, it's just another theory; I myself am not too familiar with the behind-the-scenes actions of android :p
[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
I would think that they would a little just because it didn't need to be hacked. Most of our current kernels are optimized... as best it can be.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Data/call radio and SMS radio are separate from each other. This is why you can receive text messages while calling and while you have data off and everything but you can't use data while in a call. I don't know the details but that would be a reason why maybe the radio for calls and things isn't working but SMS is.

Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
That is correct sir. We aim to please.
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
I'm not as familiar as I would like either, but I'm trying to learn.
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
That would make sense since you can get sms while on a phone call. I'm certainly not going to correct you as I don't know enough. I just wanted to start this thread to move the chatter away from jt's thread. I would definitely be interested in learning more about this so I can be better informed.
[Fascinate General] adambobbyburgers:
That would make a lot of sense, seeing as how sms was usually up and running in early aosp builds and data followed with some issues (unless that is totally unrelated, in which case i pardon my logic :p)
[Fascinate General] sunder74:
Well when it hits and its a full clean build most of you will be very pleasantly surprised (ones who have never ran aosp GB). I have several devices one being the NexusS 4G and its not a dual core (but it does have the wicked nice new gpu) any way stock 2.3.4 gets me comparable or higher smartbench scores than my G2x , DInc2 or Tbolt. So I have high expectations for what it(CM7) will bring to our Fascinates and I have every faith in the guys who are working on it. :)
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
No, it's all one radio. The fact that you can recieve sms while in a call is because you dont need data for sms. Only mms. Calls and texts use 1xRTT not EVDO. Radio isnt work at all. No RIL functions currently work, that's data, calls, sms, mms, etc.
[Fascinate General] representingcochran:
2 hours ago via _JT1134_'s twitter:

"@Times_Infinity fixed dpram last night. Rild starts up now, but the radio does not turn on yet

2 hours ago via Plume"

Sounds like he is getting closer. WOOHOOO!
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Thanks times, that's definitely helpful info for everyone looking for info on where CM7 stands. So once you, jt, and crew figure out the radio, then it is a matter of testing data, calls, sms, and mms? I guess I was mistaken, but I thought I read in irc you all were able to somehow test those and now just needed a radio that worked with the build to bring it all together? Sorry for misleading everyone if I was wrong about that. Thanks again for the info.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
No apologies necessary man. Thanks.
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
Absolute default. No skins.
[Fascinate General] bhfd64:
BW BeautifulGlass clock skin is very similar.
[Fascinate General] Keithn:
Still has the issue. You can always use soft locker to stop deep sleep from occurring, you will lose some battery life but calls are worth it to me.
[Fascinate General] mwestendorf:
I may get in trouble for posting this here but apparently since all i do is read and not post I can not post in the development forum.

Maybe this doesn't belong in the development forum either (hence the 10 post limit )but here it goes:

I'm on jt's v3 test build I would like to try the EC09 radio mainly just to try it for a few days.

I just wanted to make sure I understand it correctly since it is a odin file I can flash it over my current ed04.

But if I want to go back to any of the ed# radios I will have to follow the sticky in this forum and flash back to the dl09 (going from memory on the #) first.

I was really happy to find jt's aosp rom even though it is still just a preview it is WAY better than stock.

I recently bought a fascinate on CL and had gotten use to gingerbread with pete's AOSP gingerbread rom.

I am just glad to see the fascinate has the same dev support and people willing to help as the my og droid did.

Thanks again
[Fascinate General] TtWEAK:
Agreed. Verizon really should mention jt by name in their commercials for the Fascinate. I would have serious buyer's remorse if development hadn't picked up like it has lately. This was the best option Verizon had at the time, and really it still holds it's own against most of the phones they have now. It just needed the help from jt and company because Samsung tried too hard to appeal to the iPhone (envious) crowd.
[Fascinate General] mwestendorf:
I know these scores don't really mean much but I think this is just crazy compared to stock.
[Fascinate General] Keithn:
Yes just Odin it, Im on CM7 #3 and EC09 right now. I lost my baseband again so I Odin'ed EC09 so I had a radio.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Yup, you can do that. I'm not positive whether once you get back to DL09 whether you can use the CWM packages to upgrade to ED01/ED03/ED04 though, but you can always us Odin to flash your modem, and I think right now there are a few different modems that you can Odin, although none of the ED modems have been leaked. But you can choose between at least DL09, EB01, and EC09. Some people have said that EB01 gives them the fastest 3G speeds but YMMV.

Edit: This is probably the right place for that question too. Development is more for reporting bugs and posting logs, at least in theory.

Test 3 experience so far

Ok so I'm running cm7 test 3 on my fascinate which I use extensively. Love the speed and battery life, huge improvement over stock and other roms I've tried. Kinda a bummer that the flash doesn't work yet but no biggie.

The only big issue I had out of the gate is the phone going into sleep state after phone calls. I was having to pull my battery because nothing would wake the phone and it made a funny error beep sound after the other person hung up. I found out that if I hang up before someone else this doesn't happen, but that's kind of hard to do successfully.

I tested several settings in the cm7 mod and call settings with no luck, then started using screebl lite with the screen locked on. it appears to be doing the trick so far as a work around if anyone else is having that same problem. I'll find out after more testing.

The only other glaring problem is the phantom ring. Occasionally I'll hear a little chirpy sound coming from my phone and it's someone calling (my wife =P). Doesn't show on the screen and can't answer the call. She calls back and it's fine.

Just wanted to share my experience so far. Very excited to see JT fix all of the other bugs. Btw, Camera 360 is great... no panorama but for my point and click uses with zoom it's fine and better than stock app.

Ps. YAY for netflix download from the market no further hacks needed! ;)
[Fascinate General] mwestendorf:
Thanks for the input and clarification, I will keep that simple rule in mind going forward.

Lulz I showed someone at verizon my phone to help them with there choice between a droid x and fassy and they liked mine but I had to explain root to them and why my phone is different from stock.... I had to compare it to jail breaking lol then they bought the fascinate instead xD
[Fascinate General] jasohall:
Update

Still running jt's cm7 test 3. Screebi lite hasn't failed me yet since I started using it, screen goes blank during calls but it always comes back. For calls to companies I just hit the speaker phone until I get a human on the line. This is a very usuable rom in it's current state and I hope jt finishes it up because I'm sure the final will be brilliant.

Other notes; haven't ran into the phantom ring problem again (dunno if that's random or due to screebi lite use?). The only other funny thing I'm noticing is that I often have to refresh the screen (hit the power button and unlock again) because the input has frozen. I'll see what's on screen, but the buttons won't work properly. Not a huge issue but a bit annoying with heavy app use.

:D:D:D:D:D
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
I love the Fascinate but the Droid X is much better in just about every way. And not to bash jt at all, I know it isn't his fault that there are so many problems, but the DX developer cvpcs had a fully stable, everything working CM7 build from scratch in about 10 days. Again, JT is great and I know he had more problems but if that person had known both sides they probably would've bought the Droid X.
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
Did they unlock the bootloader or whatever on the Droid X so you can use a custom kernel? If not, then fascinate wins on principle alone, imo.
[Fascinate General] TtWEAK:
The only thing a Droid X has on the Fascinate is a notification light. Anyone stating otherwise has no clue what they are talking about.
[Fascinate General] xain713:
I just found out I'm stuck on this cm7 cause I can't odin lol I don't mind tho my usb on my phone us busted :( now I need to wifi or use a card reader
[Fascinate General] beenz:
It was probably longer than 10 days. They were probably working on it for a very long time and just didn't release it until later. Just my guess, though
[Fascinate General] 0TheRain0:
I'm a fascinate user right now, even though I went from a fascinate to a Droid X before, and am now back on the fascinate. I like the fascinate more than the Droid X and it is in fact my current favorite Android phone (i've used and owned many).

I have to disagree with you though- the notification light is nice, but the X also has better battery life, better call quality partly due to top notch noise cancellation- and also I've had problems with my Fascinate that I've never had with the X... like the GPS is sloooow if it even works most of the time I've tried to use it. and I've used every trick I can find on this forum. Also USB Debug is extremely flaky and that's a very important one to me being that I am a developer.

Anyone having Bluetooth issues after the most recent build that they weren't before?

Edit: re flashed the latest CM7 (in development section) and it seems to work.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
The Droid X is inferior to the fascinate in every way except that it has an 8mp camera and the fassy has a 5mp. Also, the Droid X has more on board storage. But, other than that, the fassy has a better and faster processor, WAY better screen, better form factor, oh...and has the ability to be hacked due to it's UNLOCKED bootloader so that you can make it even better with a custom OC/UV kernel with improved sound/color/speed/battery life etc. Having said all of that, I would almost say that the Droid X sucks in comparison.

So let's talk about what exactly that means? What all does 'hardware' include? Deep sleep? All sensors completely fixed? No more need for sensor zips breaking each other? Is mms truly all that remains?

[Fascinate General] mwestendorf:
That is the way I understand it as well, also just so everyone is on the same page. The phantom of the cm7 ring will still be there because it is a cm7 issue not a fascinate or an issue with jt's port of cm7.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Actually, the phantom ring is a jt issue. What I mean by that is......the phantom ring has been an issue in everyone of jt's AOSP rom's dating back to vanilla froyo. I believe this issue stems from one of jt's RIL hacks, which I believe he includes in everyone of his roms. This is an unfortunate issue when it comes to coding. Many times, when you are coding a fix or hack or workaround for a broken item, the fix that solves the issue ends up breaking something else. :( I think this is the issue with the phantom ring. We got that as a result of jt fixing something very important in the RIL. But, jt or anybody who knows more than me, feel free to correct me. Oh, and just in case anyone is thinking this, I am not complaining or talking against jt. If jt didn't dev for the fascinate, I wouldn't have one. I would have gotten another phone. Much love jt. A.K.A. "Mr. Fascinate"
[Fascinate General] mwestendorf:
Thank you for clarifying this.

well that would make more sense, I was having a hard time understanding how cyanogenmod roms could have gained so much popularity with such a blatantly obvious bug affecting their users.
