I'm getting some strange battery displays and was thinking I'd reinstall the rom.

Can I just wipe cache and dalvik and cwm the patch?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
yep sure can
[Fascinate Android Development] 92GreenGT:
I've installed the newest flash update but I can't get my phone to play videos off of facebook with this rom. When I click on the "Flash Player Settings" button it takes me to a website that doesn't do anything but gray screen on the browser.

I really love how stable this rom is.
[Fascinate Android Development] bikedogrun:
This is so weird... I have an unlocked Intl Galaxy SII. Been running it on AT&T and loving it!

On a whim, I picked up a Fascinate for $100 on eBay to play with (have a VZ line open) put this PW rom on it and like I AM USING THE FASSY TOTALLY AND NOT THE GSII!!!

Wow ... I also now understand that this rom is an "orphan" BooHoooo - it is just so nice, clean, fast, solid etc. All the superlatives, really and somehow the Fassy just seems to feel far better in my hand.

Call me crazy, I guess ///

No issues with Google Maps... really no issues at all!

[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
THIS. I used CWM to swap from the TSM rom back to this rom and immediately the battery was more predictable and I haven't had a single screen freeze, lag, or reboot. Thank you SOO much PWGB team, even though this rom is "old" it still is pretty much the fastest and most stable one out there for the fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
Could someone look over my "to do" list here and make sure I'm not going to dork something up:

Starting @ Superclean 2.9.2, voodoo kernel

1) Titanium backup of app data

2) Disable lag fix

3) Odin the ROM, Atlas 2.2 Pit, and select "Re-partition"

4) Put the permissions fix on the SD card

5) Odin the suggested recovery

6) From recovery, install the .zip permissions fix

7) CWM the 10/27 TKSGB Kernel

7.5) Enable lagfix???

8) CWM the Universal Adrenaline Shot

9) Figure out mem optimizer and VM heap settings

10) Figure out the voodoo sound, (and color???) settings

11) Titanium install of app data

12) Profit!

Does this sound reasonable? Anything I don't need to do (disable lagfix for example)?

Thanks for the help folks!

[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
Thank you! I'll start the process in a couple hours.
[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
Ok... what is the trick to step 5?

I used Odin, deselected "re-partition", selected PDA, selected the recovery cwm-recovery-ALL.tar and pressed "Start". The process FAILED. So I'm stuck there for the moment.

FIGURED IT OUT. I mistakenly still had "re-partition" selected. Fixed it, now it works.
[Fascinate Android Development] tee00max:
I know because this Rom is working perfect for me. Probably won't change unless this is updated or until something as stable comes along.

[Fascinate Android Development] adrianblack:
Hey guys. I just picked up a Fascinate from Ebay -- decided to switch from my Droid X. It came with some GB ROM on it (I couldn't tell which) ... So I ODIN'ed back to stock Froyo and then put PWGB ODIN onto it. Just using the included Kernel and haven't done anything else. (Other than restore all my stuff onto it with Titanium)

Seems good -- overall feels laggy compared to my Droid X which was running stock but debloated GB.

I have had a few minor issues. Music Player FCs and is laggy. Worked fine when I had a couple songs but then I moved about 9 gigs of music over from my DX and things are awry. But a bigger problem is the A2DP streaming is very strange.... connects and works BUT the sound is all screwed up and very slow. (Low pitch)

But anyway, reading through this thread seems like I need to switch to a better kernel, adjust heap size and enable delag.

I am quite pleased with the phone ... I think playing around with it should keep me happy until Galaxy Nexus or Galasy S II come out on Verizon. :-)
[Fascinate Android Development] pahick:
I gotta say, even though I have modified some icons and changed some other stuff(TW Launcher from TSM Res...still dont have that perfect though) this ROM is my favorite. No reboots on this one makes me a happy boy :)
[Fascinate Android Development] mising:
I keep coming back to this rom also. I have tried almost all the others, and though they may have some extra features I like, none are as stable. Plus, this one and TSM Resurrection are the only ones I have tried that can make use of my 32gb sd card.
[Fascinate Android Development] tee00max:
All of a sudden I'm starting to get the usb connected icon in the top left corner when nothing is plugged up. Any ideas??
[Fascinate Android Development] mgrimmenator:
not sure if this has been answered but could some one update this so that the market knows the carrier is Verizon. i can't update nfl mobile and some other apps cuz it doesn't know i'm on Verizon.
[Fascinate Android Development] brickbeats:
Check the tsm gb rom page. He uploaded all the vzw apps for this exact reason
[Fascinate Android Development] mgrimmenator:
thx, i found the link. wondering why this can't just be fixed though? cuz now i can't get latest updates for these apps.
[Fascinate Android Development] sendan:
It's fixed on the geewiz ROM...but nobody else has figured out how to do it.

i suppose i could download it and see what he did, probably a line in the prop that was added in

Is there any way to make the gallery faster its sooo slow and glitchy. I only have 250 pics? ? And there all in one folder under dcim

yeah, the only thing i can think is that he fixed carrier in policy or framework and thats what the market is drawing on

[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
Use Quickpic, much faster app. I use quickpic for everything now.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:

This worked for me, mine opens fully in about 2 sec and I have about 20 folders with about 15 pics avg in each. QuickPic is good also, but displays everything in one list. There may be an option to show in folders, but I have not checked.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
there is an icon at the top. You hit it and it will show a smaller tile with just photos from the folder it is located in.

ALSO, if you crop or just zoom a pic in gallery it will pixelize much worse, then quickpic. Not sure why, but it does.

I can send SMS, but am not receiving SMS.

PWGB, TKSGB kernel 10/27, Tried stock messaging as well as Chomp. Also tried *228 option 1.

[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Install Handcent. Settings, application settings, default messaging application, all sms and mms. That should do it

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
Installed Handcent, did the app settings.... still am not receiving SMS. I'm wondering if I should try ODIN the radio, kernel, and ROM again. I simply can't survive without SMS.

I would because icemanwbs had the same problem and that fixed it... make sure to use the atlas pit file and repartition is checked.
[Fascinate Android Development] sam.assad:
i"ve seen a lot of ppl like this rom .thanks for Dev (cc..) i have one Q before i install it can anybody tell me if the RTL language supported (jewish,arabic ...etc) please

anyone can help here
[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
ODIN'ed the ROM, Radio, Stock kernel with repartition checked, and Atlas Pit 2.2

I'm out of ideas folks. Anyone got anything else for me to try? If not, I guess I'm in the market for another GB rom. Is there another one out there that is EH09 so it doesn't fry the SD card?
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
You're gonna have to go with tsm resurrection. It's ei 20 based, pretty similar to eh 09.

I'm baffled by your issue

Are you sending messages to yourself to test this?

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
Haven't tried sending to myself. <facepalm>!!!!! Ok... that WORKS! (I've been sending test SMS from my wife's Charge)

I think I know what the problem is. My wife and I use Chomp SMS with the Textfreek service to get around limited text messaging from Verizon. I think the problem is with Textfreek not being able to find me. Don't know why I didn't think about that before. Would have saved a lot of flashing and rebuilding!
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Freeze that program with titanium for a little bit and test your sms mms fully

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
Verified!

It was indeed a TextFreek problem and not a ROM problem. Everything is fixed.

Laureanop... thank you for help and hanging with me on this one!
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Go sms pro has a chat plug in that integrates to the sms box. Look it up, it might be what you're looking for

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] j32driver:
TextFreek on Chomp still works. When I did the Titanium restore, for whatever reason, TextFreek was not enabled properly. I just re-initiated the service on my phone and everything is good.
[Fascinate Android Development] Big ZD:
Does anyone know whether this rom will receive any further love from developers?

It is an excellent rom, and refining a few minor issues (battery trickle, vzw network recognition, etc) would make it perfect.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
no it's dead. If you want a rom thats currently being developed than tsm resurrection is for you. No point in developin pwgb anyfurther really. It has all the bases covered...
[Fascinate Android Development] tee00max:
Yeah and Tsm always have some sort of issues. This rom is just perfect and it works.
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
is anyone still running this rom? i love this rom
[Fascinate Android Development] matthe4292:
Anybody else have the touch screen go out randomly requiring a battery pull?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
yeah, this rom is stable and is a very good stock plus rom....dont know what else could be done or added to it without taking away from whats its intended purpose was

as for resurrection, 0.1 is eh09 and basically stock plus as well...and has no issues (fwiw)

1.0 + has tsm parts, which doesnt always play nice with everyone's phones/setups...partly to blame is the lack of memory on our phones and tw gb's handling of memory being a lot worse than froyo/eclair (tsm parts eats up a lot of memory, as does any other parts/tweaks app)
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
Does that mean deleting TSM parts from 1.2 will stop it from rebooting every time i spend more than about 5 minutes doing anything besides calling or text messaging?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
no, changing your kernel and whatever memory tweaks/changes you've made might

some have little/no issues with res, some do

just deleting the apk wont change any of that
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
I have tried the TKS GB kernels and the GW GB kernel listed as "most stable" and have not changed or tweaked a single thing besides that...
[Fascinate Android Development] Big ZD:
Any chance of re-PowerWashing this rom using the necessary new verizon EH03 2.3.5 GB parts? Or can I just flash the radio in cwm?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
i cant speak for ccampos but he hasnt been around in awhile (hope hes doing ok and all is well) so i have no clue if hes gonna update powerwashed

but you can use the new eh03 radio with this rom

download the separate radio odin file and push with odin (or extract modem.bin from the tar and push with heimdall)
[Fascinate Android Development] Big ZD:
In pushing the radio only, via odin, will this wipe my phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
nope, wont do anything but upgrade your baseband
[Fascinate Android Development] Big ZD:
Perfect! Thank you nitsuj, your advice is much appreciated!
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
So I made a quick mod to SystemUI.apk to remove the battery full notification altogether. However, I'm finding that making a neat install zip (copy to /system/app, fix permissions, delete dalvik file for that apk) is more of a pain than I expected.

(1) Is it necessary to mount data in install scripts?

(2) Should I bother doing it neatly?

(3) Has the problem already been solved anyway?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
to just flash a system app your updater script should (or can) look something like this (for touchwiz, not mtd of course)

run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "rfs", "-ollw,check=no,nosuid,nodev", "/dev/block/stl9", "/system");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
[Fascinate Android Development] Big ZD:
Has anyone tried the new vzw EH03 radio with pwgb and had good results?
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Yeah, that part worked fine. It was probably my attempt to fix just the single apk's permissions or to mount&unmount /data to clear the single dalvik file that was causing the bootloop (which now fails elegantly back to CWM... nice).

I guess I can just upload the non-elegant version that just plops in the file and make people clear all dalvik and run the permission fix manually. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
ah, if you want to delete davlik cache in the script it should be

run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "rfs", "-o check=no", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/data");

delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Actually I was using

;)

(and this deletion worked!)

I'll either try again or post the simple version this afternoon.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
Yes, radio was very nice with PWGB, good signal and great call quality. Not sure about GPS, do not use that often.
[Fascinate Android Development] Big ZD:
Ok. I have tried it as well and am getting mixed results. At home it seems slower than 09, but outside of my neighborhood, results seem superior. Would an ESN swap remedy the inconsistencies?
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Attached are two CWM zip files. The first (remove-full-notify-PWGB.zip) removes the full charge notification. The second (stock-full-notify-PWGB.zip) reverts you back to the stock SystemUI.apk -- that is, adds the notification back.

You don't have to clear dalvik or fix permissions -- that's in the install script.

Any advice on which file goes where in Heimdall if it can even been done in Heimdall? I'm on OS X 10.6.8

This is what I have so far:

But it doesn't use movinand.bin which was in the tar so I'm hesitant to flash it.

Ignore the Flash completed message as I just accidentally hit start without the phone connected.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
heimdall frontend doesnt have an option for movinand, so ur best bet it to boot to recovery before flashing, wipe data, then pull your battery and get into download mode, then flash
[Fascinate Android Development] jakechance:
So movinand is just responsible for clearing data and you believe that if I clear it myself and then flash with Heimdall it should work? Also, I have everything where it's supposed to go? I wasn't sure on Sbl.bin but figured it couldn't be anything else.

autorotation - but not on home screen?

Didn't find any hits when I searched this thread... the home screen doesn't rotate to landscape mode. Isn't it supposed to? The app list, too? When I'm in an app - browser or Gmail, for instance - autorotation is fine.

I can wipe or even reflash, but I'd love to know if my expectations are right or wrong. Other ROMs I've used rotate on the home screen, so I'm assuming that's the norm. This is the first GB ROM I've used on the Fascinate, though, so I thought it'd be worth asking. Stock GB on the Galaxy Tab rotates, too, so I'm kinda thinking it's weird.

Somebody give me a reality check, couldya?

Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
stock touchwizlauncher on this rom doesnt allow for rotation, the modded one i did for superclean 0.5 does however
[Fascinate Android Development] jakechance:
Working and awesome

First of all big thanks to nitsuj17 for all his help! I finally have this ROM running on my phone and with a few tiny quirks aside, it is the best and most usable ROM I've had on my Fascinate :D.

I'm using OS X 10.6.8 and previously had the lastest Cyanogen Nightly on my phone. I'm not sure if those or something else was the problem, but I was not able to get Heimdall (I'm pretty sure I'm on 1.1.1) to work. My phone was in download mode and connected to my mac but

heimdall detect

couldn't find anything. I borrowed a friend's PC to use Odin and everything was smooth sailing after that. FYI for others coming from CM7.1, as long as you check repartition and flash the atlas 2.2.2 pit file with the PWGB package in Odin, you should be fine ... at least, I was :p

Loving the speed and stability I have here!
[Fascinate Android Development] k_nivesout:
After trying myself and doing some googling, it looks like Heimdall, OSX, and the galaxy S phones are not a working combination. I forget what the problem was explained to be, but I just got used to the idea of getting to a windows machine whenever I need odin. :(
