So far, my experience with the new recoveries are that they are NOT mounting /system. That means that with this new recovery we cannot wipe /system OR flash anything to /system. Maybe I'm the only one having this problem but if you are having issues with the new recovery go into mounts and storage and attempt to mount /system and see if it throws an error like mine is.....if it does, that is your problem. I am flashing these recoveries while I am on TW like the OP says to do. I am trying to use these recoveries to go FROM TW to cm7/miui/omfgb. If all of what I am thinking is correct, I'm sure jt will fix it very shortly.

i have to use the Nexus S USB drivers....I never looked into ADB either...
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
I just tried that to see what it did. I didn't have any issue mounting system or anything else in there. Now I am on an older CM7 release 7/4 I believe but am using the blue recovery 4.0.1.0 I believe. Which ever one is flashed with glitches kernel. Hope that helps
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Thanks for trying scarmon but I am specifically talking about the modified, linked cwm 4 recoveries in jt's thread. Those recoveries were altered by jt to fix the status 7 error issue. That means they are different than the recovery flashed by the included kernel in the cm7 you flashed. But like I said, thanks for trying.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Oh. Sorry. :) guess I missed that. No worries
[Fascinate Android Development] nobnoobody:
The radio sleeps very aggressively in CM7. The grey/green indicates a connection to Google, not necessarily data transmission and it can "stick". It can stay grey until you do something that makes it try to wake up the radio and it determines it can reach Google.... but it can also stick green until you try to use the radio again and it realizes that you've lost data connection.

It's particularly frustrating because I have a low wifi signal where I am most of the time... and on the very last bar, it really cuts in and out and it switches between green and grey far too often.

AdFree will not ever be packaged with CM7 for the same reason that Adblock Plus will never be packaged with Mozilla Firefox. Just download and install it from the Market, takes less than a minute to setup.
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
I used the "special" recovery tar via Odin this AM and it worked just fine. It was blue instead of red (but whatever, for all you know i'm colorblind) and i noticed an error with writing certain logs but it did let me install CM7 and the gapps just fine. My phone has never been better! (except for the annoying obligatory pin lock every time the screen shuts off.)

Yes, i was on CR 2.1. I Odin'ed the recovery in, then powered into it via 3-finger and it was blue and happy. It did take me two flashes of the rom and gapps to finally get the gmail and other stuff to work right, but it never soft-bricked or did anything else nasty like that.
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
I'm not talking about a browser plugin. Comm Rom had what I believe was a hosts loop back feature built into the rom/kernel so it blocked all ads globally, everywhere, in every app, no ads would display on the phone period, inclusive of but not limited to the browser. It was not a pre-loaded app that could be uninstalled. It was built into the rom/kernel. It was very nice that way. It was a completely ad free Android.
[Fascinate Android Development] shredder47:
where is everyone getting this kernel cleaning script that keeps getting talked about?
[Fascinate Android Development] shredder47:
it was in the hosts file...i believe its in system/etc....you can copy the one from comm rom into CM7 and it should work just fine
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
here you go: http://www.multiupload.com/XFH1GCK4MB
[Fascinate Android Development] nobnoobody:
Right, that's what AdFree is. It checks your /etc/hosts against a file that contains block rules that encompass both website ads and the mobile ad networks (AdMob, etc). It blocks them, basically everywhere.
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
BTW it was mentioned that this is already built into the Glitch zip so it's not really necessary to use before you flash Glitch.
[Fascinate Android Development] kbates666:
Yes I'm getting a phantom ringer as well. The phone never indicates a phone call but after the call you can hear a very quite ringer. The only way to stop the ringer is to call again this time with the phone awake and answer.
[Fascinate Android Development] Accord281:
Wow so much backlash. Allow me to retort. Here is where my frustration comes in: This has happened to me before where I ask a very relevant, to the point, innocent question and then get yelled at for "pressuring devs" or "being a n00b" etc. And to be fair, this mainly happens in comm rom thread or irc. But, the elitism on this site is getting ridiculous. Perhaps I was too harsh in my defense of beenz, and your response (Headcase) that you meant no disrespect is fine. I apologize to you for overreacting (a little). I still stand by what I said before the last sentence and the GTFO though. The fact that people find it necessary to berate people (or post something that sounds like beration in this case) is annoying and really turns off people to this website. I wasn't trying to "act tough and hide behind my phone," I was just venting frustration as explained above. Sorry it came out at you but I really wish the atmosphere of these forums would change.
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
We all get a bit defensive and have a tendency to be protective of those devs who have remained loyal and supportive of a product that seems to be neglected by everyone else (sammy/vzw) and of those of us who are locked into it for some time yet. Crazy anticipation has a way of keeping you on edge too!
[Fascinate Android Development] times_infinity:
It's not even that at. All, it's the fact that on here and irc, I've told anyone who has asked me if jt was going to fix mms and I said, yes, but it will be saved for last, as there is a lot of work that has to go into it. No the Handcent/Go SMS tricks DONT work. I've tested myself. Simple apps can't fix problems that lie within the frameworks. So Mr. "Everyone is an elitist" your question is answered. Now never ask about it ever again. Now if you want details as why it will be saved for last, it's the steps that need to be taken,

First the parsing code for mms needs to be modified to dump the raw mms data. Then all the parsing routines need to be rewritten to parse the data correctly for the message to show as what everyone else would see. Now this will probably take more time than any other part. So be patient, and again, third party apps can't and won't fix framework problems.
[Fascinate Android Development] DirgeExtinction:
Just wondering: Since mms will be saved for last, what would be next? GPS or sensors?

Bow chika wah wah
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
From what I have seen in irc, they are working on correcting the phantom ring problem and sensors right now. So my guess would be the fixes in order will be sensors, GPS, MMS.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
@landshark, that is correct. Jt, nemesis2all and times infinity are all working on framework edits to get the phone to receive calls while in deep sleep mode. And even Kaos is in irc, as I type this, looking at the framework code. The problem is when in deep sleep, no calls register. When the phone is plugged in, it won't sleep and all calls come through. Then I would assume light sensor, GPS then MMS. Oh and btw, if your screen won't turn back on after a call, just connect to the charger for one second and it turns on. Not an ideal fix but it's something.
[Fascinate Android Development] godofwar762:
man as soon as sensors are fix im all over tht.. and has any1 else had problems were apps would just close by themselves no foreclose symbol or anything .. idk wut thts about.
[Fascinate Android Development] kbates666:
That's good to know, I would really like the phone to work as a phone lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
hey kid, shark, thanks so much for the update I really appreciate it. Hey shark, did you say they're working on the phantom ring problem?
[Fascinate Android Development] Accord281:
This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Did I ask when MMS was getting fixed? No. Did I pressure the devs in any way? No. Did beenz ask when MMS was getting fixed? No. The ONLY thing in your post that was relevant to what he asked was "No the Handcent/Go SMS tricks DONT work." He asked a very simple question that only required a very simple answer. But here again someone had to read way to deeply into what he was saying and thinks he wants MMS to be fixed right away. And when did I say EVERYONE was an elitist? I don't see that anywhere in my post. There is some (keyword SOME) elitism going on, but nowhere did I say everyone. Come on, man, read before posting. You are making huge assumptions and yelling at me for them when I neither said nor THINK anything of the sort.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
You know, a little humility will take you a long way. This is not a big deal. Actually this is very childish. And I'm not just talking about you. We all could have responded to this better than we did. You, me, all of us. Lets just forget about it. Sorry if my response earlier was rude.

temp fix for phone not waking up after call (does not help wake phone to ring)

screebl-lite

keeps screen on so it does not hang.
[Fascinate Android Development] ckirkp79:
Under call settings you can turn off proximity sensor (I think that's what its called) I tried it on my phone and screen stays on during calls.
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
i tried that but the screen would still go out once connected
[Fascinate Android Development] Accord281:
You are absolutely right and I am sorry as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
So what is this deep sleep you speak of? To my knowledge, I have been receiving all of my calls, although, I wonder how I (or anyone else) would know I was missing calls. I am using EC01 and the only issue I have had was an occasional screen not waking after a phone call, and even that has been minimal. When does the phone go into 'deep sleep' as opposed to regular sleep?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Try this: turn your screen of via the power button and wait 60 seconds. Then, call your fascinate from another phone. Most likely, it won't ring at all. Also, download CPU spy from the market. It's free and you will see what I am talking about.
[Fascinate Android Development] kbates666:
Right now my phone does not receive any calls unless it is awake. If I do get a call it wont ring but after the calling party hangs up my phone will make a really quite ringing noise. I think deep sleep is just regular sleep.

BTW, I am also using EC01 and the OTB (fascinatemtd) Kernel.

EDIT: I also for got to mention that my camera flash doesn't work either.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Awesome news! I had to drop back to ED04 because of the phantom ring issue and absolutely hated having to do it... You guys *all* rock. Thank you so much for the update!

What worked for me is to Odin back to DL09, let it boot up once, then Odin the blue fixed CWM in the OP (don't bother re-installing the red one). Three finger salute to the new blue CWM and install the rom.

Don't mean to spam, but I believe this issue was supposed to be fixed several releases ago (according to the changelog) but I'm still experiencing it on 7/13. Can anyone help me? TIA.

This is still a known bug, for all GB releases I believe
[Fascinate Android Development] Mujib@r:
Just confirmed that this works. I extracted the hosts file from CommROM, copied it to /system/etc (overwrote the one inc. w/ CM7), and voila! No more ads!

BTW, I am also running AdFree ... which didn't block all AdMob ads. And yes, it said it was up to date.

I have a really annoying issue to report. Whenever I'm listening to music and get a phone call, before the ring starts a high pitch and really loud noise happens.

Don't know if anyone else has this or not.

Great rom used it on my incredible nook color and thunderbolt.

Dont know if I like super amoled compared to my other phones.

Anyway to adjust the color temperature? Whites are really yellowy
[Fascinate Android Development] Aali1011:
Are the sensors still buggy with this build? My phone doesn't turn the screen back on after having moved it away after a call. Where do you disable BLN if you wanted to as well. I can't find a menu option. I figure i am probably overlooking it.
[Fascinate Android Development] pkopalek:
I am using 7/17 ROM with Glitch v1.

I have VERY low quality hardware build (I can't OC past 1200mhz no matter what in the past) and I'm running at 1600mhz stable.

1700mhz freezes on me. But 1600 ONDEMAND is money.

No real issues all around, save Browser crashing pretty often (doesn't matter which browser, Dolphin mini crashes on the same pages as Browser)

I turned off ALL transition animations, window animations, app drawer animations. The phone feels and IS lightning fast. Everyone is wildly impressed that spends 2 minutes with it in their hand.

I flashed 7/17 over my 7/4 ROM with no problem, and wiped /cache and /dalvik-cache when I did.

Step 1: flash 7/17 ROM and gapps

Step 2: wipe cache and /dalvik-cache

Step 3: boot up and play with phone

Step 4: reboot into recovery

(SURPRISINGLY at this point, for some reason, I had a blue recovery, that seems to have been flashed with the 7/17 ROM instead of the orange one that was with the 7/4 ROM -- but I had no trouble)

Step 5: flash Glitch kernel High Leakage (because my hardware suxxorz)

Step 6: tested each speed past 1200mhz, 200mhz at a time, and play quake3droid for a minute, to see if it freezes.

Step 7: realize that 1700mhz freezes the phone, and stick with 1600mhz

Step 8: profit.

jt, you are amazing. So is glitch, timesinfinity, and everyone else here. My phone is the fastest phone in the office. It feels faster than my coworker's thunderbolt (although he has the stock ROM and is unrooted) too, in my opinion.

--------------------------------------------------------

The only ONE THING on my wishlist for this entire setup is

FLASHLIGHT (or some flashlight LED application that works; I can't find one).

Nonwithstanding, multiple donations pending on payday. I love this stuff.
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
Anyone else see an issue where if the BLN is active the softkeys will sometimes be non-responsive after waking the phone up? This has happened to me twice in the past few hours, turning the screen off then back on clears it. I too would like to know if its possible to disable the BLN so i can see if thats what is the culprit here... I might try a different kernel and the cleaner just to see if that changes anything.

I had that issue and then I went away when I went from 7/13 to 7/17....

CWM Backup and Restore?

Are you guys having any luck with Backup or Restore?

I thought it was working fine, but then my phone started tripping out majorly yesterday after I had switched back and forth between MIUI and CM7.

...it could have something to do with me trying the LL kernel, but even after I flashed back to the HL kernel the phone continued to do crazy things.

[crazy things meaning: random/intermittent vibrations, keyboard popping up on the home screen, menus popping up all over the place, apps opening/closing immediately(no force close, just disappear)]

jt, first of all, I want to congratulate your work for the fascinate users. We all know you didn't have to, but you still considered the stress we have from using other roms and stock and made an amazing rom. I remember how it first started with the glitchy rom PunkKaos made and now it's perfect. thanks a lot for your work!!!!:D
[Fascinate Android Development] dug-e-fresh:
Can anyone else verify that this works? ie- completely eliminating red CWM so that the 3 fingered salute works?

def
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
No no no, you need a new recovery... If you want to do it "my" way, get the recovery tar in the first post (along with the rom + gapps, and put the rom + gapps zips on your SD card, power off your phone and flash the recovery tar with Odin. Then power the phone on with the three-finger, get into the recovery (should be blue) and flash the rom and gapps.

I had the "red" recovery from Comm Rom 2.1 and I Odined the blue recovery from the tar in the first post, and the red recovery was immediately gone upon three-fingering it. I bet the difference is Odin (since it just writes wherever it wants to and isnt bound by any previous recovery antics).

Screen not coming on for incoming call

Is anyone else experiencing this? Have to turn on the screen w/power button to answer call. Im on Glitch v 11.
[Fascinate Android Development] dug-e-fresh:
This would be sweet as both times I've had issues, the issue was I couldn't get into blue from red. eliminating red eliminates the problem. cool.

So essentially, this should be standard practice for this rom, ie odin'ing blue from the get... it will bring back 3-fingering without issue.

Odin'd back to stock and them flashed 7/4 to 7/13 and now on 7/17 usimg kernel built into rom.

Thanks in advance

Just for anyone else out there trying to come from the comm romm's.... I tried to flash directly, and ended up with force closes on google apps all over the place, constantly.

Finally I had to ODIN the DL09 stock and also PIT files. (See the "going from CM7 to any other rom" thread), since I had tried the flash. So, I think this is it from CommRomm:

1. Odin the DL09 stock file.

2. flash or odin a recovery (see OP), then flash CM7

3. update to the modem you want (optional, can be done later)

4. flash the google apps

You should be good to go.

ALSO, my wifi would not connect at all, no matter what i did. I finally tried that FXR wifi fixer app from the market and it connected. There might have been a different way, but thats what I used.

Dude, AdFree is a free app in the Market, it specifically details what it does in the description and it takes less than a minute to install and have an auto-updating /etc/hosts file. That having been said, here's a copy of the /etc/hosts that AdFree pulls down. Using this will not give you auto updates for when they put out new ad servers, etc. Just to make sure I've made my point that you should use AdFree. :D
