What is the best Recovery version and kernel to use with this?
[Fascinate Android Development] xcoryedgex:
As far as I know, you can no longer change recoveries after this. Nemesis2all has a kernal in this section. It will say mtd.
[Fascinate Android Development] xcoryedgex:
I flashed it last night as well. All went smoothly except when I flashed dalvik cache it said unknown volume path or something. But it still let me wipe dalvik and said it completed.. as far as the rom and everything it's wonderful.
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
This rom runs ridiculously well. I don't think I've ever had anything run this smoothly with the exception of my iPhones. Its memory management is top notch. I just wish I could figure out a way to have Slacker pick up my sdcard so I can cache my stations.

EDIT: It seems the light sensor isn't working. It's staying at a constant brightness even when set to auto. Not a huge deal but just an observation.
[Fascinate Android Development] 1993cb7:
Ok well rom was running amazingly smooth and i was loving it.

I wiped the two caches, and flashed the update and now it bootloops in the cwm recovery v4.0.0.5

I tried wiping everything and reinstalling and it just boots this recovery!?!

Any ideas im at work and don't have access to odin :(
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
is the Nemesis2all included? I thought to load it but I thought it said to flash it using the oranger recovery and I have the red 3.0.2.8.

been searching for orange with no luck

also as it has been mentioned before I too am having issues with wifi error after flashing the patch.
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
What method did you use to get into recovery?

[Neuman]

SCH-I500 - EC09 Radio/MIUI FascinateMTD/OTB @1.2ghz -100mv/Infinite & NeonGT Themes
[Fascinate Android Development] 1993cb7:
I turned the phone off and then used 2 button trick.

Power+volume rocker....has been working thus far??!?!

Was i suppose to use a different method?
[Fascinate Android Development] godofwar762:
Does the patch work on mesmerize version.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
Yes, terminal emulator.

CyanogenMod 7 (fascinatemtd test build 5 ) otb 1300 mhz.
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
Yes, you are supposed to use adb or a terminal (su; reboot recovery;) to get into recovery. 3 button will get you into the wrong recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] boldfilter:
if anyone wants the extra icons (like twitter, youtube, voice and lots of others) and boot animation from miuiwiz, i made a non-flashable zip. just put the files in their respective folders
[Fascinate Android Development] 1993cb7:
Man, for as much flashing as iv'e done, sometimes im still a nub.

LOL!

Ok, well thankfully i have some skills.

I was able to download ODIN and the stock tar and i installed 7zip on my sdcard and ran it through my card since i don't have permission to install .exe at work.

Whew!

So now im back at unrooted and bloated....going to fix that.
[Fascinate Android Development] boldfilter:
anyway to get the stock miui keyboard?
[Fascinate Android Development] 1993cb7:
Ok so i returned everything to normal.

Im installing Swype right now.

Phone calls seem to bring the phone out of sleep, but the answer/ignore screen doesn't present.

Im going to run this rom for a few days notwitstanding any serious issues.

Awesome work guys!
[Fascinate Android Development] Avelnan:
Can I go directly from CM7 to this ROM or do I have to re-flash DL09 and all that shiz?
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
You can go between mtd and mtd. Just wipe the big 3

[Neuman]

SCH-I500 - EC09 Radio/MIUI FascinateMTD/OTB @1.2ghz -100mv/NeonGT Theme
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
I just wiped and flashed when coming from JT's CM7 (non-MTD).
[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
make sure u do the big 3 wipes.....
[Fascinate Android Development] calebv2:
Seriously I don't understand the point of wiping all 3 when wiping data factory reset does the same thing
[Fascinate Android Development] nunyazz:
Factory wipe does not wipe all caches....
[Fascinate Android Development] Shakes The AssClown:
How are people doing with battery life? I had to back to ComRom... juice was going too quickly.

KangBanged for your pleasure!!
[Fascinate Android Development] jmac9:
Still too early to tell for me. Like every flash, I give it a few days and since I just flashed the patch and the new kernel......I need to test for awhile. One question for someone though. I haven't been able to fix permissions or wipe battery in terminal emulator.......just in CWM, but not sure its working there. Anyone?
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
I just flashed this to my Fascinate with Rom Manager. Seems to have gone fine, just left to customizing. How do I install the .1 update? Download the pack and flash like I did the ROM? I went to do that, and basically it says I need to download Clockwork. So I do, but it doesn't have an option for the Fascinate...?
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
Guitar, 1 I love the avatar pic. 2 odin recovery then I would reflash the rom and then patch through cwm..separately.

[Neuman]

SCH-I500 - EC09 Radio/MIUI FascinateMTD/OTB @1.2ghz -100mv/NeonGT & Infinite Themes
[Fascinate Android Development] boldfilter:
you can also reboot into recovery in rom manager
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Thanks.

Not exactly sure what you mena by ODIN Recovery, what exactly do I need to do?
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
I wouldn't be flashing stuff to my phone without knowing what Odin/Heimdall is or how to use it. Flashing stuff to your phone is relatively simple but knowing how to fix it using Odin/Heimdall is still essential if the rom happens to screw up your phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
I know what ODIN is, I used it to flash the other roms I used, just don't completely know my way around it.

And if that means just plugging it in and booting into Recovery while ODIN is up, I'd feel pretty lame. :o

I can get to CWM Recovery, but after that I'm not sure what exactly I need to do? I mean, is ODIN just flashing my old ROM over the new one or?
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
He's just telling you to use Odin to flash ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) and use CWM to flash the .1 patch. However you should already have CWM since this rom installs it for you so just reboot into recovery (don't use power + volume. Use adb, a terminal, or rom manager) and flash the patch.
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
As far as I know, I did the update. Booted with Rom Manager, went to find zip file, selected the update (kept original name, "MIUI.us_fascinate_1.6.24.1_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_andmer.zip" -- I don't have to change it, right?"), said it installed, go back to phone. version still says 1.6.24. Other than that it works great.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
that is correct it will say 1.6.24 even thou you flashed the patch
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Awesome! Now time to customize! Thanks for your help guys, and thanks for the awesome ROM!
[Fascinate Android Development] vash8806:
For those that want to play .avi files:

I've been using Moboplayer. Open it, browse to your file, long pressing on the file, then selecting the "soft decoding" option to play all of the.avi files that you have, as they are not supported by the default video player on this rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
just woundering for all the flashing and odining we do does anyone actually use there phone to talk lol
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Lol, rarely. I average maybe a phone call a day, usually <1 text a day. I personally have mine for entertainment purposes and emergencies.
[Fascinate Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
Lol same here for phone calls ..but if I have the time to txt I'll txt
[Fascinate Android Development] Jstevenett:
Anyone know of a way to fix the problem where the other person can't hear you during a call?
[Fascinate Android Development] droptopjim:
This is great work so far. Please work on the in call volume and ringtone volumes. Both are not loud enough in my opinion.
[Fascinate Android Development] 1993cb7:
Oh man I got this rom running nice now......now it just needs the in call volume tweak and the deep sleep problem (still not working after patch)
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
Is wifi still broken with the .1 patch?
[Fascinate Android Development] calebv2:
What are you talking about my wifi works fine
[Fascinate Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
Wifi works perfectly since first GB miui release
[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
maybe flashing the rom again because my calls are working
[Fascinate Android Development] godofwar762:
btw if any1 wants to no.. i think if u open voodoo control and enable volume hack key it help with in call volume.. something yall might wanna try.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
Wifi keeps going in and out on this rom for me but works great on CM7. So does 3g. Any idea what is wrong?
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Working for me fine. Only thing is the obvious deep sleep phone thing.
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
I had the wifi error but fixed it by reflashing the rom + patch in cwm.

For those with the phone call issue (not being heard on the other end) just hang up and call back, it should work. Mine seems to be every other outgoing call. Oh well, this rom works too well to be bothered ;)

Things that could make it better:

Working flash for camera

Faster refresh of accelerometer

Better video recording (video is choppy)

Samsung camera app ;)

TouchWiz......lol.....
[Fascinate Android Development] thachizzle:
Is there any way to get the froyo MIUI gb themed keyboard back? I really don't like the stock GB keyboard, doesn't match with MIUI.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
Is there anyway to make a nandroid backup of this ROM?
[Fascinate Android Development] Advocatus Diaboli:
Normal CWM should work. Has it not worked for you?

-Sent from the future using my time machine
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
Not working, I get the following message:

Backing up boot image.....

Erroir while baching up boot image! E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Screw it, I'll just use the MIUI Backup utility found in system settings
[Fascinate Android Development] Shakes The AssClown:
Use the correct CWM by either using adb or terminal emulator. If you don't you get these error messages. The cwm should be orange.

KangBanged for your pleasure!!
[Fascinate Android Development] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Anybody else using LauncherPro noticed any slowness? Last night I was customizing a theme and the phone started to really lag. After a restart or two (from final customizations) it seems fine. Noticed LP liked to lag a lot anyways when I was on 2.1.

Wow, Netflix runs awesome!

EDIT: I did just have a problem where I called someone and she couldn't hear me. Not sure what that was about.
[Fascinate Android Development] farewell_goodbye2u:
I am so glad i decided to flash this Rom. I contemplated flashing it for two weeks. Was reading the thread on a daily basis. Lol. So much customization can be done! Absolutely love this and its running great with the exception of low call volume and the deep sleep issue. Look forward to future updates. Great job and many thanks for this andmer. Thanks to you, i have fallen back in love with my fassy.

Oh....and......Netflix FTW!! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
ok, where is the Orange CWM? I looked at the threads in the stickies and only see 3.x
[EVO 4G General] Neptune2633:
Hey people, i am taking a trip to europe next month and i wanted to watch some movies on the plane to kill some time. Does anyone know how i can download either free movies or paid movies to my evo?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Netflix? Megaviewer?
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
If you own the dvds, you can rip them using PSPVideo9, or whatever number they are now. You will be able to rip and decrypt the DVDs into a viewable format for just about any mobile Device. I hope you got a big card though. They are pretty big depending on the movie.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Piracy aside, this raises a good question. What(if any) converters are people using to get videos into an Evo compatible format? Also, what encoding profiles are you using with said programs?
[EVO 4G General] theoner1:
I'm encoding my movies in mp4 format using Ripbot (freeware). Also heard Handbrake is another good alternative encoder.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Any tips on what encoding parameters you're using? I don't really need HD video on my phone, just a decent quality and minimal size. Similar to what a DVDrip is for the "community" small in size, still decent quality (or so i hear)
[EVO 4G General] bigblue206:
I have used Bitripper to rip my dvd collection. Each movie ends of being around 1gb give or take and the quality is pretty good.
[EVO 4G General] mchristian:
A good app for simply viewing movies is "Crackle". It has a good quantity of movies to view which are free, as well as the app itself.
[EVO 4G General] dased14:
i use handbrake and use the iphone setting works pretty good for format and dvdshrink to rip and do a reauthor taking out all menus and lang,ect... using those two most movie run about 500mb(lowest)to 960mb(highest).

hope that helps
[EVO 4G General] louforgiveno:
i'm running MIKG 2.1 and the stock video player now plays .avi files

it was annoying how there was virtually no android .avi support when i first got my evo.

Handbrake is great also, you can convert 1080p or 720p videos that will be insanely clean
[EVO 4G General] Jcki4:
i download movies off the web site from my phone call mobile theatre.info here the link

http://www.mobiletheatre.info/mdb/inthe.html

hope this help let me kno if it do
[EVO 4G General] dased14:
i'm going to check that site out, so you have used it before and its a good one.
[EVO 4G General] jadden:
thtz a good link thanks dude
[EVO 4G General] nerrollus:
MacTheRipper and Handbreak to mp4's works great for me.
[EVO 4G General] Greatbape:
I use freemake video converter. It's free and very simple to use. You don't even have to know what format you need. Ask you what platform you want to covert to(blu-ray, apple, android,youtube, flash, etc).
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Evo_Shift:
Just wondering if anyone knows of a battery that also replaces the back cover and allows you to just lay the phone in a cradle to charge without actually plugging it in? Or maybe something like the powermat where you just lay the phone down on it?

Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] strapped365:
I would love to have one like that it would make my charging problem go away!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Stuke00:
The powermat still has a device that attaches to the phone and plugs into the USB port.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JRudnik:
Previously in the CM Nightlies, circa N°45, there was an option for lockscreen sounds. So when I unlock it clicks and when I lock it clicks as well.

I found it through something like this:

Settings > CM Settings > Lockscreen > (?) Style / Sound Options (?)

In these newer nightlies, I cannot find it at all!

Have they removed this feature?

EDIT: I found them.

Settings > Sound
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
On mine its under Settings > Sound
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JRudnik:
Ah. Yes. I was fiddling around and I found mine there as well. Thank you!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeffreynew23:
Hey guys, I know that this is the millionth post about this but I gave in and switched to the Sensation.

I could not handle the reboots and the fact the TMobile and LG left me in Limbo for so long about what they were going to do.

I just wanted to thank all the Developers that made the phone usable and all the people who helped me out when I had questions. The G2X is truly a great phone and I hope that it comes back truly stronger with the Gingerbread update. Again. Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
Well what do you think? Ive heard mixed feelings about the sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Really? I've heard mixed experiences with every phone ever made.:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Cool, thanks for the update. I had no idea you were switching. I'm truly heartbroken by this sudden turn of events ;) :o :( :confused: :mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeffreynew23:
It's cool. A little slower but very sexy and no reboots

@Gideon - Haha very funny :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
Haha well I mean Ive heard good reviews and very bad reviews. Mostly bad but oh well. Just wondering what someone else thought.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Well, I own both...and unless the news out of LG is totally bad..I won't be switching. It's slower and sexier and has the same problems every other phone has...

Both are good phones...I doubt the lack or reboots was the final decider. Its a Nexus style body that is fast and cool, and new, and it fit nicely in your hand.

If you like it, you like it. If not, you don't. Next !!!!

I did a test... I handed my girlfriend the Sensation...she goes...wow....this is nice. then I handed her the G2x. She goes...wow....this is nice. I see your problem now. All of that without once touching anything on the phone....only holding it.

Would you own a phone that didn't feel good in your hand? I owned an iPhone...bought it because it was cool. I gave it away to my son because he wanted it. The phone felt weird so I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Looked at the iphone 4 at VZW last week. It still felt weird. Didn't buy it.

So, bottom line....this is NOT about quality, this is about feeling good !!! hahahahah where's that guy with the bridge !!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
WHICH IS IT??? I never call anyone a deliberate troll, the term is most often only used on people who others don't agree with, vs the true meanings.

But WTF you just posted this????

From love to return the phone in just minutes?? An earnest WTF???????

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Sensation looks like a very nice phone, enjoy it, if I would ever look for a replacement right now if the g2x were to be out, I'd go withj the sensation.

Enjoy!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hoggles:
+1

Nuff Said....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
thanks for sharing, never had more than 2 random reboots since i owned it, and since running CM7 i have never had a reboot....enjoy your sense phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
What phone haven't you read really bad reviews on?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeffreynew23:
Whoa whoa so I am being accused of being a troll. I find it funny that you decide to include those 2 posts and not the other ones that I have posted in the G2X forum. That's hilarious. I was able to get my hands on a sensation and went with it. I still have a G2X but right now I am rolling with the Sensation. I could care less what phone you use. I only posted this to thank developers and the people who helped me with my questions that I had. I am sure that you can find those and post the TOM. GTFOH
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I thought your original post was very thoughtful and took it the way you meant it. Using the "S" word seems to set some people off unless its followed by POS, horrible, slow, buggy, or inferior.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yea, using the "S" word here is a no no. It's kind of funny because over in the Sensation forum, you don't see anyone talking **** about the G2X and trying to justify why the Sensation is the better device.

Usually when you need to start justifying something......well....you figure it out!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikea3000:
I have both devices and they are both great in my opinion. The best anology I can make is by comparing them to cars. The g2x is a lamborghini, the sensation is a porsche.

The g2x is faster and more exotic, but difficult to live with on a daily basis due to instability and "high" maintenance.

The sensation is plenty quick, just not as quick, but the great trade-off is that it is reliable and predictable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Perfect analogy

Sent from my super snappy G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesrazo:
I want to jump in here a sec, i have a G2X, im on my second one. First one was rebooting and driving me crazy, Amazon as always is awesome. Got my replacement with no screen bleed but it randomly reboots also, does it less but it still does. Called them up and got them to send me a Sensation. I've tested it before and saw some very minor lag, but the phone is a beaut. Come Monday i will have them both in hand and have 30 days to decide. I love the G2X but my wife who has a Nexus one and my son who has a Nexus S both tell me the same thing why keep a phone if you cant have it reliably answer a call or make a call. I'm tired of my wife and son telling me there phones are so stable. I know already, both of them where mine lol. Just last night we where watching a movie on the tv and the G2X was sitting there on the table and it just reboot again and my wife just laughed. Im so lucky to be able to just switch to whatever phone i want and not worry about things like reboots. LG you have 30 days to fix, HTC you have 30 days to unlock or i hear Smasung has a SGS2 i can import.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
uhhh, I did not pick either of the posts, one is this threads OP and the other is what you wrote specifically to me. BS has a certain odor.

So you write to me telling me you like and love your G2x, comment on people who have Sensations, clearly showing you are not part of that group.

THEN only 6 hours later, you create this thread as a swan song that you are ditching the G2x and went to the Sensation.

From loving the phone to dumping the phone in 6 hours flat. I only noticed the smell because you posted by name to me, and you created this thread 6 hours later. So I thought I would ask you why you bought a 600 dollar phone replace a phone you had loved just 6 hours earlier.

Sorry to have a sense of smell, thought you might want to explain/bluff more....no need as yes they are both great phones, both with about the same level of problems, with the biggest difference being most of the G2x will be resolved and speeded up by 2.3 that the Sensation already runs that.

The thread you posted to me was on irony, your thread here and that are very ironic...I have both a nose and a sense of irony.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Why can't he love his G2X but use another phone?

I love my G2X but I love my Sensation more. Am I a troll as well because I don't use the G2X anymore as my daily driver?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
The random reboots are a software issue, trying using one of the custom roms in the dev section.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shahp:
A lot of people don't want to go through that whole process, and they shouldn't have to to get a phone to work, so it's fine that they want a phone that works out of the box.

... Having said that, and I don't mean this in a troll way at all. But for the love of ****, enough with the posts here about the Sensation. WE GOT IT, it's a new phone and it has less problems and AMGGINGERBREAD!

Can we please get a moderator to start deleting these Sensation threads in a the G2X forum? This provides no benefit or insight for people who own the G2X, since most people here are competent enough to research their options or can consult people in the Sensation forum about their experiences. Nor does it need to be an avenue for the 90th thread "G2X vs Sensation. <insert trite subheadline here>" You're bringing nothing new to the table aside from your personal experience, which as every G2X owner knows, is different for everyone.

While my G2X is runs decently well, I sympathize with those who have struggled with it. I've been patiently waiting for the Gingerbread update like everyone else so these corny discussions can be put to rest, or at least get something more useful put into them than "I can't take it, I'm switching."

WE GOT IT ALREADY
