[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Cwm..clock work mod...aka recovery, is a program you will use to flash custom rom, kernels, zip files and also contains various tools for wiping data, fixing permissions, and a few other goodies most of us will never use.

Odin is a program for a PC that you use to install cwm recovery for the first time, and you also use Odin to flash.tar files (VZW rom and repartitioning with pit files..what you will do if you really screw up or want a fresh install, is normally installed with Odin)

Files with .zip that are on your sd card get installed with cwm.

Files with .tar that are on your PC are for flashing in Odin

A side note, recovery will be over written if you do not install a custom kernel the first time you enter recovery...so you would want to have a kernel on your sd card before using Odin to enter recovery for the first time or you'd have to use Odin every time you need to get to cwm....check the links I and others provided in one of your other posts, they will give you a good starting point

Forget rom manager even exists. It does not support the Fascinate.

rom manager

ok, so if i cant use Rom Manager to install a rom, what should i use ?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
http://tinyurl.com/4y6tczt The cwm recovery link in this thread is out dated but it still tells you how to install cwm and a custom rom as well. Just an find updated cwm recovery and follow this guide
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Nice guide bro, but for your information, the mtd sd card issues have been fixed unless of course are still running older versions of jt1134's kernels.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Great news! I wasnt sure since I read a post yesterday where somebody sd card fried on vgb. Still I think the op should start with the powerwash rom until he gets his bearings and fully understands what he is doing!

20 steps? Really?

I usually just odin an older recovery then go from there.... I mean... this is assuming I already have everything I need. Great rollup though.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Yes Really... the op pm'd me asking for step by step directions, so I broke it down for him. It dont take me that long but the op is obviously having trouble understanding this stuff, so yes he needs the 20 step program lmao

and btw, thats how you run into problems when switching roms...you should always odin a stock rom package w/ pit if your coming from any mtd based rom and vise versa. Im trying to teach him a fool proof way so he dont have issues! Not all fascinates operate equally, I know that sounds crazy but its true. What works for you may not work for others.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrManiacNF:
Actually there is another app, I don't know if it's exactly what you need but I think it may help. It's called Rom Toolbox I believe, formally it was Liberty Toolbox. I've tried to the lite version and it has lots of tools, of course the good ones are only available in the pro version. Which I'm buying tomorrow.

Hope it helps you out. On another note, Rom manager works fine with the fascinate, to an extent, but in order to get the clockworkmod flashed you will need a custom kernel. (or 2e recovery I think)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitwit:
Try reading the very first stickied thread in the Q&A forums.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terror_1:
Perhaps that should be stickied. The hardest part of all of this is finding the correct odin package that has the repartitioning scheme in it.

"it takes diff'rent strokes to move the world"
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Agreed! I started a new thread with that guide, maybe the mods will use it? The only odin package you need is the ed05 by pentafive. It is has everything needed to start fresh. Also it does not need a modded kernal to get cwm to stick!

I cannot get contact sync to work on either app. Is anybody else having this issue? They both sync fine on my friend's Nexus S...
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
So MOTOBLUR does this weird thing where it disables the facebook app sync and forces you to use the MOTOBLUR facebook plugin account. It's terrible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Make sure you added your fb account in MOTOBLUR.

4) From themes section select Edit Theme -> Lockscreen Style and select Galaxy Tab FivePoint lockscreen.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
STOP TRYING TO USE ROM MANAGER.......it is worthless for the fascinate and does not work properly. Install everything manually. I taught myself how to root and install custom roms and kernels by simply using google. I have no problem helping people as long as they are trying at least to figure out the basic stuff first by reading.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
This!! Although I did get rom manager to work once, but it would only work on imnuts pbj kernal with cwm 4.0.1.8 or whatever it is. I too learned how to root/rom by using google lol.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
All I did was put the tab to sleep and when I went back it wouldn't turn on. It was completely unresponsive. I tried power and volume buttons but nothing happened. Found a little tidbit about holding power button and touching the screen for 15 seconds and it rebooted. Never heard of that method but it worked.

Anybody else have this happen to them? Completely stock Tab too. Non-rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] deeren:
:) just search for SOD ... sleep of death and you'll find a lot of users complaining of your issue. this is something that has and is plaguing all the current tegra tablets.dont worry, this is not something specific to the galaxy tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
I thought the sleep issue was just for the Toshiba tablet and they had a fix in an OTA.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
Never had this issue with my Xoom. Haven't seen any threads about this in Xoom forums either. So i doubt all HC tabs have this issue.

Infact i haven't had this issue on my GT10.1 (yet).

About holding power and touching the screen. You don't need to touch anything but the power button. Hold the power button for 10 seconds and it restarts, this is written in manual.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
I held the power button for 10 secs and nothing happened, 30 secs and nothing. Held the power button and tried both volume buttons as well. I tried every combo I could think of for about 10 minutes. I then got on my desktop and just Google searched and some dude who has a blog gave the directions for touching the screen and power button. Maybe 6 or 7 others had same thing in comments section of this guys blog. I was freaking. Dude saved me a trip to best buy. Everything seems good now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Hypera:
I had the same problem that happened twice on two different Galaxy Tab device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Klk450:
I've experienced this before and thought it was just my tab.... your method worked which really surprised me, thanks for the tip and never knew other people actually experienced this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Yeah, I had no idea that putting my thumb on the screen and holding power button would do anything. I should Google search again so I can give this guy some credit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jye75:
Happened once to me, touching the screen and holding power worked and it hasn't happened again.
[HTC Sensation] Joshua3109:
I got my sensation and love it, I have Android Revolution 3.1 and the RCMix version 1 kernel. It is currently overclocked to 1.78 ghz with Daemon OC.

I was curious though, I heard that some games and apps are not optimized for the dual cores. How do they work in these situations? Will one power down while the other works?

Also, In the newest update for Revolution HD, in the change log he mentions how the dual cores run constantly and that this is a first. Wouldn't this drain battery life?

Sorry about starting a new thread, im just curious. Thanks for any help!!
[HTC Sensation] ertankrc:
yes it s a very good question

i am gonna try that rom

especially about battery life.

any idea ?

[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
About the thing where the cores run constantly; I've been following the oc dual core thread, and someone found a way to keep both cores online and that overall, it had almost no effect on battery life but seemed to increase performance slightly.

To describe the way our dual core chips are setup would be very complicated, and would draw away from you initial question.

Just know, it shouldn't effect your battery too much.
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
Generally

Dual Core = Better battery life

As long as the software is optimised to use them both
[HTC Sensation] kamaliqwan:
Really? Wow i thought dual core will consume more battery :)
[HTC Sensation] CrazyCharlie:
The dual cores in our phones are asynchronous, meaning instead of both cores splitting the workload evenly like some other chipsets, one core will remain offline until it's needed then spool up to assist with the load. This was causing a problem with overclocking because only one core was recognizing the clock speed and governor settings. Keeping both cores idling allows them to both recognize the proper settings. The thread about it can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233103
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
dual core. Keeping it simple

think of a double Decker bus as synchronous CPUs

And two single deck buses. As asynchronous CPUs

passengers are your workload.

Most cpus out there are synchronous. so this means both processors split the load continuously at any one time. . Eg galaxy s2 and Intel CPUs

Asynchronous

Each core works independently from the other. Amd cpus do this and sensation.

But sensation only keeps one active till it needs the other one

Synchronous dual core cpus. These are your double decks. the bus Carries people and uses both floors at one time

Asynchronous in sensation.

these are your single decks. Only one bus will carry passengers. But when the bus is full or cannot cope the second bus is used
[HTC Sensation] moshikko:
first : the best explanation so far about how this phone works , two thumbs up !!!!

2nd : I'm currently thinking on moving from my Htc DHD to a new dual core phone ( had the Atrix , hated the pentile screen )

so in terms of everyday use ( i don't give a s**t about benchmarks ) which one is better to get - SGS2 or HTC Sensation ?

LOL well I.am the noobproof dude. so just keeping it simple.

Put stock rom in sd card (whole dload folder) and boot your device with VOL+ and VOL- pressed while pressing power on) It should update. Then after that install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1229326 then after installing boot it with VOL+ and power button. Delete caches, and then flash the custom rom .

I also uploaded ORIGINAL, Stock image partition files http://www.mirrorafile.com/files/6GV300HE/image.rar

you can try to overwrite yours with them (of course backup yours) Put your device in purple screen, connect it with pc, and put those files in it. Maybe it will help.

But you can update firmware to newest one via ODIN

Is that you are hooked on to rooting and bricking ;)
