scarfman4's response above is perfect, I just wanted to add that the 'animationchooser' will always start the STOCK service if a custom bootanimation.zip is not found. All that should happen if the stock animation files are missing is that you will have a blank black screen during startup.

This brings up a good point that I hadn't thought of before. I can have the animationchooser look for the stock animation files as well. If they are missing, it can automatically go with the Android service. Then, if none of the right files are present you would see the shiny light blue "ANDROID" animation. I like it! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Hmmm... I like that mod myself. I think "yes" if I can figure out how it works and ask the necessary permission to use it. No promises at this time.

Even though this is something I would likely have avoided, I tested the power button in the ED05 camera and it seems a little broken by default. It locks the soft key input as you would expect, but that also seems to lock the touch screen, which seems a little brutal. I'm guessing it's supposed to be used with Video mode ... once you start recording, you lock it so there is no accidentally exiting the app?

Anyway, yes, I will look into this one some more and see if it's within my skillset to change.

The rom won't download. Has it been pulled? I tried both cellular and wifi.
[Fascinate Android Development] jgmarz:
Flash

Can I flash GW.4 over Powerwash 1.2. I really don't want to wipe again.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Ran a quick test from my PC, and all files seem to be linked and available. Could it have been a mediafire fail? If you still can't get them from mediafire, PM me and I can put the one(s) you want somewhere ... else ... that might work for ya!
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I know that feeling! I'm not 100% certain what would happen to be honest. Most of the core bits are the same so its possible no data/dbdata wipe would be needed. If you can backup DATA and DBDATA first you can always flash PW back to SYSTEM.

Note that my kernel is NOT a Voodoo kernel. It supports EXT4 so it should work with a device that's been Voodoo-ed but the Voodoo control app won't work.

I can try this first if you'd like, but it won't be until tonight. I'm not home today :(
[Fascinate Android Development] timeToy:
Just to share my *very positive* experience with everyone else.

ROM: GeeWiz 0.4

Launcher: Launcher Pro Plus

Kernel: ccampos784 PW-OTB Fusion Kernel 08-20-2011

Radio: EC09

Wow, just wow, this is the most stable, responsive, functional, long battery life, that my Fascinate ever was...

I am not running the Kernel overclocked (albeit I was able to complete Quandrant at 1400Mhz with a 2100+ Score), but only slightly undervolted (from -100mv to -50mv)

I did a full battery charge, then a bump charge, then a battery stats wipe, battery life has been *stellar* since.

Thanks djp952 and everyone else involve with this ROM, and please keep on polishing it, no need for big changes though...
[Fascinate Android Development] briguyy:
Sounds great! How did you get the EC09 Radio?

Thanks

Edit: Never mind found the Radio

Flashed the EC09 radio and its working great with this ROM..3G speeds have improved..went from around 900kbps DL to 2200kbps DL!!!

I think i have a great setup now for awhile.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Alright ... for anyone watching this thread, I think my next item will be the accurate battery mod (and there was much rejoicing!)

My question is ... which one do you guys want? I'm not an artist and need to ask permission before "borrowing" the graphics from somebody else.

I'm personally a fan of the one I had with SuperClean which I believe was made by sbrissen. It's the same one that's in the last froyo TSM parts I found as well. I'm not 100% sure he'd let me use it as a piecemeal item from his awesome TSM mods, but I will ask. Given the main devs have moved onto Gingerbread, maybe they'll be OK with it :)
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
That battery mod that was in Superclean 2.9.2 was my favorite battery mod of all time. I tried using the framework from SC on PW but it kept crashing when I pressed the power button so I had to give it up. I would be eternally grateful if you could get it working with GeeWiz!

And after eating Robin's minstrels, there was much rejoicing. (Yay!) (cue the tiny flags)
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:
Currently I have Comm Rom 2.1 installed over ed05. Do you think I need to go back and re-odin edo5 before flashing this rom, or just flash it over comm rom, since I already have ed05 on my phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
If you use CWM I'd just flash it over what you have now. I'd definitely wipe data, cache and Dalvik first though since you're changing Roms. If you use the Odin version it will probably wipe it for you.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Good news! sbrissen is cool with me using his graphics for the accurate battery mod! I'll work on that tonight as much as I can. Busy day today ... escaping from D.C. after that huge (sarcasm intended) earthquake was brutal :D

So I think that leaves just shorter soft key backlight timeouts, looking into how BLN could be worked into the plan, and throwing some Voodoo Sound goodness in there. Maybe I'll be at 1.0 before we all get new phones after all :cool:

Thanks for helping out wolfkmann, scarfman4! <propz>
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Awesome!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
GeeWiz 0.5-update has been posted. I had to try out an update/patch version of this ROM, and that's what 0.5 is. 0.6 should be a full version again, this has worked pretty well on my device(s) in testing :D It won't be that long until 0.6/1.0, so hold tight if you don't want to use the update, ok?

- GeeWiz 0.5-update (*REQUIRES* GeeWiz 0.4)

- [MOD] Stop custom boot animations at the same (earlier) time as the stock VZW animation (djp952)

- [MOD] Camera app: power button behaves as if it was the shutter button (djp952)

- [MOD] Accurate Battery Meter; graphics courtesy of sbrissen; annoying flashing of said graphics under 10% courtesy of me. If you hate it let me know; I'm never under 10% so I can only speculate what it looks like! (sbrissen/djp952)

- UPDATE.ZIP: Remove the screen auto-rotation config file during update. People (including myself) have had problems with auto-rotate not working after flashing; this should solve that. let me know if there is some reason this is actually a bad idea

NOTE: I also made a change to the GeeWiz Kernel that is not included in this update. My "animationchooser" service was updated such that if neither the stock nor a custom boot animation is available, it will default to the shiny "ANDROID" animation. That change will be in the next full update.

My thanks to sbrissen for giving me permission to use his battery graphics. I hope to repay the favor someday :D
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I'm not sure I would like the battery to flash at 10% and below. I sometimes run my battery down all the way to 0% before charging it. I can see it flashing on stock meter where you can't see percentages but on an accurate meter it would be redundant. That's just my take on it.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I agree. I ran the phone down nice and low overnight and it's *highly* annoying and as you said, doesn't really give you any useful information. You'll get an alert box from the phone when you start to get really low anyway!

Consider it gone next time 'round :D
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I am not loving the accurate battery mod :( Having the % in my face all day had me back to "oh no, I'm at 82%! All I did was check e-mail 396 times?!?!? MUST CHARGE" rather than previously worry-free "meh, all blue ... good to go". Yeah, in your heart (and if you look in Settings) you know it's a lie, but the perception of battery life is definitely different.

I can of course make whatever I want for myself and retain what most people want to see in any public releases, but how would you feel about the following alternative:

- Have an accurate battery meter that doesn't have the % in it. It would show 80%-ish for 80%, not 100% like Samsung's default. I think flashing under 10% or 5% would have to come back in this case. It would also use Samsung's wild TouchWiz palette for the colors like stock (in my mind that's what it looks like anyway). The more I think about this, the more I think it fits my overall theme with this ROM .. "Stock the way it should have been done for us".

- Provide a secondary update.zip that has sbrissen's battery meter in it, with no flashing at all (I already changed that -- sorry I thought it was a good idea at the time!)

OR ... the complete opposite: include the sbrissen-style mod by default and provide a secondary update that has the djp952-style mod in it :confused:

I want to make the

most

people happy that I can without making them jump through too many hoops to get there. I'm totally OK with whatever the general consensus is. The more feedback I can get the easier it makes my decision ... so please say something if you have an opinion, ok?

edit: hmm... if I make a djp952-version of the meter that uses the silly colors and no %, I think I would use a typical LiON battery discharge curve to map out the meter rather than going by actual percentage reported. LiONs drop like a rock to about 85% or so and then level off for the bulk of the charge (then drop like a rock again after 25%?), so it would probably show an artificially high value for 85-100% kinda like stock does and an artificially low value somewhere around 35-40% and below. My intention would be to graphically map a linear drain against the non-linear actual LiON drain to provide a real-world estimate. Yes, I think about these kind of things - lol. :eek:
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:
If you are asking for my opinion, I like sbrissen's percentage. I got used to it when I used his Comm Rom. Looking at the status bar it is easier to glance at a number, rather than trying to see how many bars are inside the battery icon, or how much of a battery icon is filled. I don't need the color variation or the flashing, the number tells me all I need to know.

I do have a feature request, if possible. Can the date (mm/dd) be placed into the status bar on the right side, near the time? I would love to have the date up there.

Thank you for all you do.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I would say make an accurate battery as a flashable addon, either that or include the accurate battery in the Rom and make the stock battery as a flashable addon for those who don't like it. Also if you want a version like you describe that shows numbers in ranges I'd do that as a flashable addon as well so people can try it and if they don't liked it they can flash one of the others.

Personally I'd like the accurate battery that shows each number. That's what's been holding me back from using this rom. It's your rom though so use as default whichever you feel most comfortable with. Just my $.02 worth.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Today I tried switching to your 0.4 kernel from PW-OTB, disabled lagfix and then tried the EXT4 converter to see if it would work. I ended up crashing my phone; it wouldn't go past the Samsung logo. I ended up having to Odin back to stock, and then went straight to 0.4 and updated to 0.5. So far I'm loving it! I'm just waiting for the update to the accurate battery without the flashing below 10% and I'll be all set. Please keep up the good work!

P.S. I haven't tried the converter again; kind of afraid to now.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I have something that will get you to ext4 if you're interested. Its my real project :) I will PM you in a couple hours with details. Warning it has some bugs and limitations still but I would love your feedback on it! You've been very helpful to me I think you'll like this a lot!
[Fascinate Android Development] jimmy2179428:
Much props to djp952. This is the best ROM I have ever used and it's amazing in every way. Keep up the good work bro! Assuming you are a guy :)
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
GeeWiz ROM/Kernel 1.0 has been posted.

While I didn't get everything everyone wanted in there, I'm pretty pleased with the results. I didn't want to be that guy that's eternally in "beta" and actually say something is as done as it's supposed to be :)

CHANGES FROM 0.5 -> 1.0

- [KERNEL]: animationchooser will default to shiny "ANDROID" animation if neither stock nor custom is present

- [KERNEL] Voodoo Sound v10 (supercurio)

- [MOD] Don't flash the battery meter under 10%

- [MOD] Don't hide Google Maps, Magic Smoke Wallpaper or Dual Clock in Task Manager

- Update Adobe Flash Player to v10.3.186.6

- Add Samsung Keypad v2.3.4

The only two things I remember that didn't make it are BLN support and shortened softkey timeouts. The former I did look into and currently will not include because I use the stock MELFAS driver for the touchscreen. Everything BLN I've seen appears to require the CYPRESS driver. The latter ... I just didn't look into it, I'm sorry. Maybe in the near future!

The first post now has a complete list of features again as opposed to the incremental changes I had been listing. The second post still has all the incremental changes.

I also added/redid all the add-ons currently available from me for this ROM, which can be found at the bottom of the first post:

- [NEW] Stock battery meter add-on

- [UPDATED] Swype add-on

- [UPDATED] Kernel-only CWM update zip

It's looking like I'll be offline for a couple days starting tomorrow thanks to this silly hurricane and my local power company's inability to keep things working, so I hope you like it and I truly appreciate all the feedback and thanks you've given me over the past few weeks!!!

Enjoy the Voodoo Sound and Samsung Keypad I snuck in there at the last minute ... don't forget to download the Voodoo Control app from the Android Market to tweak your sound! :cool:

edit: Unless I messed up something big in this 1.0 or have to update some core apps, I intend to refocus my efforts for a while on what I started with back in April that I alluded to in the original post, which I'm confident enough about to finally mention -- I've been building a ground-up Recovery image for the Fascinate. It's about 80-85% done, but still has enough wrong with it that it's not ready to share with you guys. It's not based on ClockworkMod (but looks like it could have been), I quite honestly started with the AOSP recovery and went from there. It does some cool, and perhaps even unique things as well as what turned out to be some completely useless things, but the basic gist is the same as GeeWiz ... what I think we actually need without too much automation or bunk to get in our way. The "GeeWiz Kernel" is actually just my Recovery image built without the Recovery part ... secret officially divulged. While I pretty much guarantee I won't respond until it's stable, please PM me if you'd like to get any Alpha releases of this Recovery code. At this moment in time, I cannot promise it will EVER become public, but you can follow my progress on github to see how it's going if you want ... http://github.com/djp952/sch-i500-froyo
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I tried ODINing back to ED05 stock, rebooting to working, then ODIN 1.0 and rebooted (didn't install recovery yet) and my data connection is broken. I've tried a factory reset and no help. I ODINed back to ED05 stock and my internet is working again, but as soon as i ODIN back to 1.0 it's broken.

EDIT: Installing 1.0 with CWM 3.x works fine. It's just ODINing 1.0 that's giving me problems.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Oh man, I'm so sorry!! I duplicated the problem here and pulled the ODIN file temporarily to save others.

I actually knew about that and had fixed it .. which means I posted the broken one and deleted the good one! :eek:

I jacked something up with permissions or a corrupted file with the ODIN package recently and had gone all the way back to my 0.1 ODIN and reconstructed it from there, which solved the problem. I'm sure I did a CHMOD I shouldn't have.

Given that the CWM version works (phew!), I'll probably just ODIN back to stock, apply the CWM and dump that as the new ODIN file. Pending testing I'll get it back out here for everyone.

THANK YOU SCARFMAN4 !!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Glad to help. Another issue I found is if I switch to Samsung numpad as my main keyboard then any key I press causes a force close. Not a big deal for me since I use the Gingerbread keyboard from the market but am letting you know anyway. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Now I know why Google leaves everything "beta" ... apparently the word has magical powers that prevent epic failures :D

Drat! I guess that's what I get for throwing something from Gingerbread into a Froyo ROM all willy-nilly, huh? I'll see if it can be fixed or if I can find a 2.2.2 version of that keyboard ... ugh

Sorry guys. Glad I left 0.4 and the 0.5 update up there. it's only a matter of time before I melt your phones!! LOL. All good, in the grand scheme of things I have to remember this is my first try at something like this and mistakes will be made. It helps me to learn what needs to be tested more thoroughly!

edit: I'm having all kinds of issues getting the ODIN to work again. I'll see what I can do, but it's not looking pretty right now! What the heck did I do? LOL! (one thing I did was have an old copy of framework-res.apk in /system/app ... oops. Looks like a 1.1 to me)
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Well, I managed to fix one thing :D

Version 1.1 has been posted, but only an update-zip version. Please refer to scarfman4's posts above -- the ODIN version of this ROM can mess up the data connection so that's not available until I can figure out why.

Changes:

- [MOD] Fix the Gingerbread Samsung Keypad so that it won't force close with audio enabled (djp952)

- [UPDATE-ZIP] Remove erroneous framework-res.apk file from /system/app

If you're curious about the keypad thing, what it seems to have been was it used a new system call to emit the keypress tone that Froyo doesn't like. I was able to replace that code with what the old 2.2.1 version of the keypad used, and it seems to have resolved the issue AND the keypress tone still works :D

I'll work on the data connection issue. If you happen to see it from the CWM version, I was able to fix mine by turning the data connection on and off a couple times. Apologies in advance if this bites anyone else.

edit: Fixed! I am a complete moron, and I'm really glad I didn't break anybody's phones. Here's what went wrong as far as I can figure .... a few days ago I was screwing around and accidentally formatted my EFS volume. The phone mostly continued to work, so I didn't think anything of it. The phone stopped working today, I thought it was because I flashed my bad ODIN. However, it was much worse. I had to deactivate the phone and clear the EFS in ODIN to get data back. Here's how I think I messed everyone up ... when I made the 1.0 ODIN my phone was already hosed. The SYSTEM volume is of course mounted as read/write when I'm making it, and some of the mobile data files got changed because my EFS was whack. You guys flash it, and boom - no data! Thankfully your EFS volumes are fine and so reflashing a "good" version restored your data connection. Well, that little story fits the facts anyway :)

I just went from ED05 Stock to GeeWiz 1.1 via ODIN and I still have data. I diffed it out against the CWM update-zip version and it doesn't look like I missed anything, so 1.1 ODIN will go up in a bit.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
GeeWiz 1.1 ODIN version has been posted. The issues with the 1.0 ODIN appear to have been resolved. My best explanation as to what went wrong is in the immediately previous post.

Thanks everyone for your patience on my 1.0 problems. I will try not to make such gross errors in the future :cool: I hope 1.1 provides a nice stable experience again. If not, please PM me or post here and I will continue to do what I can to solve it!!
[Fascinate Android Development] shilohdrummer:
This cute girl absolutely hates me now that I put GB MIUI on her phone and her card formats every day -_-; (she has apparently lost some phone numbers and important pictures)

Will your 1.1 make her love me again?

Also, she's on a the EC09, GB MIUI rom. Do all I have to do to put her phone into your jizz rom is put it into download mode, place your 317mb md5.tar file in PDA slot, and start?

NOTHING else?!??!?! No need to flash another modem? kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] teezle:
First thread in the forum has instructions to go back to stock first from a MIUI/CM7 rom-------> You must do this first.

After that, you pretty much then follow the instructions in this thread.

off topic, I have been using the latest MIUI with latest Glitch and I can't have stable 3G or wireless when it sleeps, wakes up etc......Don't know why I waste my time. Back to GeeWiz for me today!!!!

Problems with Data Transfer

I'm been using GeeWhiz since Sunday afternoon. Overall, it seems great, a lot quicker than my prior ROM, Evil Fascinate.

One glitch however:

From time to time, my data transfer seems to stall. For instance, as you can imagine, I was downloading some updates after installing GeeWhiz.

Often time the transfer would completely stall. It appeared most often when I had multiple downloaded queued or multiple downloads underway.

Once I rebooted, the transfers would resume.

Any ideas?

running a Samsung Fascinate
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Where are you downloading your updates from? I've been downloading files and had four going from.dropbox sites and they all went through. While they're going through I tried bringing up files on mediashare and the pages seemed slow to load but downloading seems fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] Badger51:
Either from Google Market or Amazon market...
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I don't know about Amazon market, but the new market in this Rom has problems I think. It isn't storing things in the same place and keeps saying there's insufficient room for larger downloads. I've read others have this problem as well on other roms with this new market. It's especially annoying right after a data wipe; I hop on my wifi and go thru the setup wizard which then downloads my apps from Google but at least 75% of them fail saying insufficient space. I've tried rolling back to the stock ED05 market but it just puts the new one right back.

The version of market is 3.0.27 so I'm hoping Google will fix it in a later release.
[Fascinate Android Development] Andassaran:
I've had that problem on multiple phones as well, it stemmed from the older versions of the market doing simultaneous downloads and running out of room in the /cache partition. Just try the failed app again and it should work.

And on a side note, loving the Rom, amazing work, stable and fast (like i got whiplash when it booted fast) just having one little issue... Any way to kill the audible keyboard tones on the Samsung keypad? It's probably about the best T9 keyboard i have ever seen but the audible click is a huge turnoff. (feature request for a new version maybe to add a check box in its settings to turn it off?)
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Did you try disabling under settings - sounds OR under settings - language / keyboard settings?
[Fascinate Android Development] Andassaran:
Turning off global audible selection has no effect and there isn't an option in the keyboard settings
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Ouch
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Interestingly enough thats where the force close was occurring in the first version I posted. I dont think it would be hard at all to hack it not to emit the tone. Let me see if I can actually fix it but if not I can almost certainly supply a hacked version with no tone as an add on! Maybe even tonight if work leaves me alone
