You'll deal with the same stuff anywhere you go Justin, fascinate, dinc, anything you do for someone else comes with the unfortunate consequence of incessant complaining. I really don't think he/she meant to insult you. Most all of us really appreciated all you did for us, let's not part on negative terms.
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
You're way off base and if I didn't appreciate your work I would call you an ignorant jaded a-hole right now. I simply called a spade a spade. Don't be all butthurt because the AOSP roms are doing what they do, run well. How many times are you going to say bye before it starts to look like your are regretting your decision? I'm not trying to be a **** bro, I've run so much of your stuff its ridiculous and enjoyed every minute of it. At no time did I ever discredit your work. Don't start now by acting like a spoiled child because now that you left the Fascinate for the gay dinc2 the AOSP roms got sorted out. Remember, you could have been working on the AOSP stuff a long time ago and perhaps we would have had CM7 working a long time ago. You're the one that chose to develop with Touchwiz as the foundation. You helped make damn fast roms using Touchwiz. I hate to think what CM7 could have been.if you had worked on it. Do you see what's happening here? I'm trying to give you an appreciative slap in the face bro. Wake up!

Again, I'm not slamming your work but if you got a Dinc2 go move on. Don't hang out posting **** about "you're glad you aren't doing things for the Fascinate anymore" as if I was busting your balls from the beginning. Grow up dude and if you're moving on move on. Don't stay and sulk. You made the decision to move to a different handset for many more and different reasons than anything I could say. So don't start trying to find easy outs to make yourself fell like less of an a-hole for walking away from a clearly superior handset. Fact is the Fascinates hardware wise will be walking all over a Dinc2 so all things equal in software you went to the less capable device. But make no mistake, you did that for your own reasons that had nothing to do with people saying AOSP is fast.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
at no point did I say I left because of aosp being complete....my point is I'm glad I did because if we were still working on **** I'd get to here nonstop in every thread how slow and buggy and crappy everything we do is from people like yourself

I'm not looking for any outs and the fact of the matter was Verizon didn't offer me a fascinate as a replacement for my hardware failing phone (not missed call issue) as for what is the better phone that us subjective....both are better at different things...and if you haven't used both u aren't qualified to decide

And I haven't been going around saying bye I have either been posting a lot in the general threads about all of those switching or if people ask why com ROM isn't being worked in or if it will be updated etc I post why it won't be

I have been involved with and done more for this community than a lot if others and if I want to continue to post here I will

None I'd this is a case of me being pissed that other stuff us better than ours...its not the case at all....I do think all of the aosp roms are better

I just get annoyed when ****ty posts have to put down what we did in our threads in order to convince people to use something else

A simple "why don't u give cm7 or miui a try as they're very stable and con ROM is done' vs what you chose to write

So yeah thanks for *calling me out* if you ever do anything (I doubt it) good luck
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
*cough*Frankly, I love ComRom so much specifically because of what the devs were able to accomplish outside of a "mainstream" build like CM. It was great to have a team working out the idiosyncracies of this phone just because they could, and it flat-out sucks to read such negative, pissy, and dismissive comments in response to that work coming to an end. This phone is staying UKB 2.1 regardless; it's a smooth, reliable user experience and I've simply enjoyed following its development. Call me cheesey too, but again, it just has a more down-to-earth feel to it being a community build. That it should end with ANY of the devs feeling jaded or unappreciated for their work is what makes it sad for the Fascinate community.

EDIT: Before someone calls me on it, yes, I am giving CM7 a whirl at the moment and yes, I love it. My high regard for ComRom and the devs who worked their arses off to give it to us, however, is unchanged.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
That's all ill say on the matter lest this thread devolve into a flame thread as many on xda do
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
no problem, i get it, i was just taking what you said at face value and that was what i heard from what you said.....so either way good luck with whatever you're doing and see you around. I simply recommended what I know to be the fastest Rom/kernel right now. I don't recommend a slower Rom just because of who is involved with it. So if you felt put off that was never the intention of my post. I was giving good advice.
[Fascinate Android Development] lbmorgan:
Nitsij17,

What would recommend as the best AOSP gb Ron to flash? I'm gonna go that route until the this Ron picks back up.

Thank you though for the work you put into this and that is the reason I ask for your opinion.
[Fascinate Android Development] irgnutz:
I'm was using CM7 and its fast and full of wizardry, but what I'm looking for is a ROM that has the following qualities. I need a phone first, one where I can hear the other person and them hear me in noisy situations. CM7, for me, doesn't do this. I also use my phone as my navigation device. CM7, again for me, doesn't perform very well with this. I want to take and watch videos without thinking that Michael J. Fox is the camera man. I also like to use my sound docks and I know CM7 does this but I would like to know if UGB works too. Please don't mistake this as a dig against JT, and CM7 because his ROM is awesome and I'm sure he'll work out all the kinks, but I'm over the gadget aspect for now and just want something in the middle of stock and something built for a racetrack.

*Edit: This ROM does all things I want except for work on a dock. I haven't tinkered with it so that's not saying it won't work,it's just didn't "out of the box"

TSM guys are the reason I first flashed my phone, the reason I stayed with the fascinate, and the reason I didnt trade it for a dinc. So thank you guys very much for your hard work and sorry to see you leave the fascinate Justin.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
That's just funny!
[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
Thank you for your hard work and making the Fascinate what it is with TouchWiz. Sad to see you go, but it understandable that you will develop on what phone you have currently because it's your hobby not a job (People need to understand that).

But before you go, can you TSM guys do the community a big favor and leave some sort of documentation for people in the fascinate community currently and people who might come over from lower end phones, in the hopes that some genius can look at your tips, tricks, docs and get something going again for the Fascinate on TW ? Or just point us to the docs you guys used to get started. Thank you again.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
The vast majority of stuff in com rom is the usual stuff: superuser, busybox, some aosp apps in place if touchwiz ones, ads blocked by host file etc....these mods are more or less.standard as are reboot options and packaging in whatever kernel

Tsm parts and some of the modded apks are what set the roms apart imo

Anyone is welcome to try and port them with permission from members of Tsm except if its a phone we plan to make ROMs for.....this is primarily just so we don't have duplicate work...ieis people want to port w/e to the continuum, have at it

I don't know if sbrissen on his own would want to maintain cr if a new leak drops as he is working on aosp stuff

Tsm parts is on github but beyond that getting the mods to work involves a lot if effort...we don't have cheat sheets to share
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:
I have to say thank you to the Dev's, I love the comm rom's and this one is very fast. Unfortunately I have had my SD card wiped by ec09 4 times in the last three weeks. Originally it was just annoying, and I would re-copy all the data back onto the card from my pc, but after it happened yesterday, I can't format/erase/copy do anything with the card. So now I have to buy a new card, and that has me frustrated. Has there been an ec09 fix? Otherwise, will this run over another kernel?

I tried CM7 before trying UGB, and didn't like it at all. I can't take the sd card issue anymore, so I am either going back to comm rom 2.1, or trying the MIUI rom. Does anyone have any experience/opinion between the two? Or any other options.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Per nitsuj17 a couple pages back: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15787084&postcount=347

It's sad, yes, but this team of devs repeatedly accomplished the equivalent of converting low-grade manure into a lobster and filet mignon dinner, molecule by molecule.

Titanium Backup

I have been using this rom since it was put up for download. Recently, i changed to MIUI and now am back again. This time I am on the rfs file format and trying to set things up.

I want to know, How can I delete/remove the existing Titanium Backup provided with this ROM ? I have another version apk with me, which is not installing because this is present in the ROM i guess.

I tried deleting the com.kameridas.titaniumxxx by searching in root explorer. After that, whenever i reboot the phone, I have a force close message sayin "the process com.kameridas.titaniumxxx has caused error"

Also, I am not able to use my titanium backup apk, though it installed, it force closes upon opening the app ! Any suggestions ? I am ready to reinstall the ROM and delete the ti backup in a proper way but i want my version to work, not the one provided with the ROM.

plz help
[Fascinate Android Development] BakedTator:
i use root uninstaller from the market...its free
[Fascinate Android Development] Oxirane:
Does this only eat sd cards while being installed or just in everyday use? Thanks. (and I know it's for Fassy, researching on behalf of another)
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:
It eats cards any day of the week, and twice on Sundays
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
tried that and i ended in a force close after reboot. process com.keramidas.titaniumxxxx error comes up ! May be a process that is not geting deleted??
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:
Has TSM heard about the ef01 leak? Can it be used in this rom? Would it fix the sd card issue?

I saw it mentioned on the following samsung thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1206100
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
where is the EF01 leak?? is it a GB or froyo based rom? ED05 is froyo, so i m guessin ef01 would also be froyo based but i hope i m wrong here :)
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
That's for the Galaxy Tab which would mean it is Honeycomb. I don't think honeycomb works on phones.
[Fascinate Android Development] TheBadBen:
Does anyone know if a newer kernel(eh09) will work with this ROM and protect you from a cooked SD card? It turns out after trying MIUI/VGB/PoolParty that I don't really hate TW based ROMS. I'd like to be able to try this without fearing for my SD cards life.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Don't let that stop you - jt's CM7 build is also a fine choice :)

[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
There is no guarantee that it will kill your card...it has happened to many people running ec09 though....if you don't feel like taking the risk, then by all means don't flash it

I recommend using a backup card on ec09...and backing up it up on a regular.basis

Many people are using ec09 though so that's why we are working on it...comrom froyo was pretty much a final version anyway
[Fascinate Android Development] GrainOsand:
Yeah, I've been running this since TSM posted Test build on IRC. So the EC09 FROYO post thru me off a little. I actually haven't had any SD card issues. Seems pretty stable to me Thanks to TSM For once again making a broken Samsung/Verizon Rom Useable.

As far a the eating of the sdcards goes is it something that can happen at any time or is it something that happens once you've flashed?
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Unfortunately, it's something that can happen any time... some lost their cards right away on the initial EC09 leak, some after more than a week :(

[Fascinate Android Development] :
Ok so if I flash this over comm rom froyo can I just wipe cache or does it has to be everything and if I want to go back do I have to odin or could I just nandroid backup?
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
You must wipe all three... this is not just a CommROM update - it's an upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread. Nandroid should be sufficient for going back. But before flashing, please, please back up all your SD card's contents on your PC if you haven't already done so (including your Nandroid backup). As you might know, EC09 can fry your SD card extra crispy.

Sucks the Epic and Charge GB leaks won't help us. :O
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Please make sure to back up all your SD card's contents onto your PC before flashing - you've probably heard about the EC09 SD card bug (also mentioned in the op). Never hurts to be safe :)

[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I'd like to know that as well. You can use PowerWash 2.0 GB that has both the kernel and Rom based off of EH09.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
don't think kernels from eh09 will work as this is 2.3.3 and eh09 is 2.3.4

I *might* be getting a broken fascinate from someone to try and fix....if I do get it and can fix it....I will port comrom to eh09
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
That would awesome. Eh 09 is way more stable than ed 01. Comm Rom would run really smooth.

Would it come with imnuts eh09 kernel?

yes mate , of course !! i am aware of it , Thanks a lot for the heads up yet again.

Btw , atm i am on a setup thru which (it looks till now :P) missed call issue has been dealt with , but its dl09 based , so should i make a nandroid backup and then use a diff card for flashing EC09 ? i am sure if there are any issues i can use the backup to restore ( but the last time when i tried it , it said MD5 error or something :P )

and again thanks to the TSM and the pure awesomeness of XDA ,

have been to a no of FORUMS, but such dedication, persistence, and awesome know how i have seen only here.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
I would recommend using a spare card :)

As for the md5 error, you might want to try backing up again - something might have gone wrong before. Which version of CWM are you on?

will try flashing this probably later today, sd card bug kinda scares me but I have a few extra small ones laying around.. haven't heard anybody ask so I will, does this leak fry multiple sd cards? say it borks my first one and I throw in another one? aahh I need to stop being such a compulsive flasher lol

Is it absolutely necessary to use the ec09 radio for this rom? I've been testing it out for the past couple of data and it has choppy internet connection. The only to fix it is reboot

I guess one needs to wipe data , cache and dalvik before restoring a backup of a diff ROM over another.

may be the last time when i faced the md5 error , i didnt wipe the stuff , can it do that ?

just found another 2gb card :P may be now is the time :P

I just pulled the trigger.... So far it's stuck at the Samsung screen.
[Fascinate Android Development] jbr05ki:
10 minutes later still stuck. Is it borked or should I wait?
[Fascinate Android Development] parter28:
There's some lagg when I use Dolphin Mini, HD, or stock browser. I don't know what it is, but I was hoping you guys had fixed it. None of the browsers run nearly as smooth as on CommRom 2.1 (Froyo). I don't think this leak is ready jet.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
Wait longer, or pull battery and restart it.

If you are still stuck, you may also want to try reflashing it.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
The lag is no doubt due to the rfs file format of the ROM. No kernel source code was leaked for EC09, thus there is no voodoo lagfix yet. Navenedrob is working on hacking the existing kernel to support voodoo lagfix, but these things take time. Notice, by the way, the version number for this ROM - 0.1. TSM has released this as a preview build, not a prime-time release.

[Fascinate Android Development] bleeeeeeek:

[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Failure to wipe can lead to problems, but those usually show up after the phone has booted (or during the booting process itself, as seen when one encounters bootloops). I don't think your md5 error is due to not wiping. I suspect that the Nandroid got corrupted somehow during the original backup process.

[Fascinate Android Development] egorzilla:
I got stuck on the samsung logo. After wiping many times I realized I didn't turn off voodoo lagfix. After I disabled that it booted up fine.

So for anyone having problems don't forget to disable lagfix :).
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Seems you're not the only one having Nandroid restore problems. I'd give it at least 20 minutes to move past the Samsung logo - remember, this isn't just a new CommROM version, it's an upgrade of the whole OS Froyo to Gingerbread. Also, wiping Dalvik always leads to longer boot times (in other words, you might need to give it another 20 minutes or so even after you get past the Samsung logo). Now I'll admit that's an excessively long wait time, since it still shouldn't take that long, but it's good to be absolutely sure something's wrong before starting all over again from scratch.

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] jbr05ki:
Does this ROM include the radio too? I'm coming from CommRom 2.1 EC01 right now.

Maybe that's why it's hanging at the Samsung screen.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
I really don't think it's the radio. Usually they're ROM-independent. More likely the phone is hanging because you wiped Dalvik and are upgrading from Froyo to GB
