You can also use adb:

adb shell

su

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

<here you can do whatever you want to the file system, such as renaming files>

mount -t rfs -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system

has anybody been having a lot of random freezeups and reboots
[Fascinate Android Development] darkmage1991:
dang, dont flash the kernel posted by imnuts, dont flash either voodoo or non voodoo he posted, it doesnt boot :(

doesnt even wanna boot into recovery.

Ccampos has not posted anything about this kernel. DO NOT FLASH IT YET !it probably requires modifications to make it compatible with our phones

[Fascinate Android Development] darkmage1991:
if someone flashed it, you can just use odin to reflash cwm and do a restore. but yea wait for ccampos and hope he can get it working for us.

i even odin'd stock rooted uscc ginger and it doesnt even boot with it. just wanted to post that.
[Fascinate Android Development] rjcormier:
I can't for the life of me flash this rom. I know your gonna say read the instructions...I have flashed at least 6 other roms in cwm and used Odin to go to stock eclair,froyo , and leaked gb and I can get around my phone pretty well now having flashed different kernels and used cwm consistently. I can even use adb. Just trying to say I'm not unwilling to try on my own...I have had to Odin stock a few times to fix some blunders.

So here is the scoop..

Odin hangs each time...

I have done it from stock edo5, dlo9?, and leaked gb

I have used the Atlas pit with partition and have tried without.

I have redownloaded the files.

I have used the modem and no modem ones....

What am I missing? I haven't had a fail in Odin except for this rom.

That being said I am loving where my phone is now...but it kills me that I can't figure it out...I might not even like this rom but I wanna figure it out.

Any advice? I am not scared my phone will melt....if i haven't done it yet, it wont mind another flash :)

Thanks so much in advance and man do I love the devs hard work...simply amazing what they are doing!

Thats odd... Sounds like you doing everything right. Flashed this on mine and my wifes earlier today, and did everything you did. Booted up just fine. Hope you find a fix. Pretty stable ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] darkmage1991:
turn phone completely off

with battery in the phone hold the volume down button and plug usb in

open odin

click the pda button

find the .md5 file you downloaded (either modem or no modem)

have repartition NOT checked

click start(the pit file is not needed)

wait about 5-10 min for the phone to reboot

[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
When you odin back to a full VZW Rom like eb 01, ed 01, or ed 05 do you let the phone reboot fully, or do you immediately try to odin PWGB ?

Once you're in the stock VZW Rom, do you re partition again before odin PWGB?

[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
If you odin PWGB it doesnt matter whats on your phone at the time, check re-partition, use the pit file and md5. Let it fully boot up before you do anything else to it.
[Fascinate Android Development] rjcormier:
Yes and yes. After going to stock my phone fully restarts. I turn it off...put in dL mode....and start the process...

Odin just says please wait. I tried with the Atlas and repartioning and without.

Not saying u did or didn't do...make sure 7zip is used to extract cause I first tried with winrar.files did extract but into having no file size.odin hung up when used.I then used 7zip as instructed n files were extracted correctly. I apologize if info was already used in ur sit.great rom too!
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
I suggest re-reading and re-trace your steps, I think you might be missing something or skipping something. I've gone back and forth 3 times this week just for fun/testing. The other poster may have a valid point about how you are extracting or not extracting the files to be used. If you still have issues try to be specific about how you are going about the process.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Another question is what version of Odin are you running? I had more problems with 1.7 than I have with 1.3.
[Fascinate Android Development] rjcormier:
I definetly used 7zip but it does show 3 messages after the extraction....is that normal or should I post to you what the errors are? I didn't think anything about the errors actually...that might be it. I will do it again as per the instructions. Thanks everyone for your ideas...this has really stumped me because I have been through at least 6 different rom's to try and back to stock and all no fails like this...

Also, will this work with the ED05 radio?

Thanks for all the help and ideas!!! I never would have noticed that the files were no good if you guys hadn't thought of all the senarios. I use 7zip often so it is weird that it didn't work this time. But reinstallinn it worked!

Thanks, I am finally running this rom. ..

Can I restore my data from my cm7 backup or is the data backed up in the mtd files as well? Thanks a lot guys

I had this problem yesterday before I changed to this rom. I was coming from Evil Fascinate 2.6 (It was the last rom that I found that I really liked).

Thanks, well at least i know im not going crazy then. Before i saw your reply i already had reflashed the ROM thinking there was a bug in there somewhere but still same problem. Will wait to see what Yahoo response is..current version is 1.3.6..maybe anew release to fix it.

Thanks

dang no news from ccampos about the kernel yet =\

dialer using battery

According to Seetings-->About-->Battery Use, the dialer is using more battery than anything, I believe its eating battery when the phone is suppose to be asleep. Anyone else have this issue? Just wondering if this is known or if anyone else had this issue because if not, I guess I'm gonna ODIN back to stock and start from scratch. Got tired of light sensors, GPS, and other junk not working on other roms so I finally came to this one. I did make one change to the rom after installing, I deleted the default launcher from /system/app and put in ADW Launcher EX, could this be the cause of my dialer eating battery? I really want to use this rom because everything is functional but the battery is going down pretty quickly and definitely going down when it should be sleeping. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Charge it fully,go into cwm and wipe battery stats. Give the phone 3 full cycles and check periodically what's using your battery . Display should always be on top after regular use. If dialer is still the biggest user try a different home launcher. Is it dialer or voice calls that are using up battery?

Get CPU spy from the market tu check that your phone' s sleeping properly

[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
i agree, if your going from cm7 from this, I would just completely reinstall everything, Titanium is nice but all my apps seem to have issues when I try to restore on a clean install of a new rom
[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
Pleaseeeee go get juice defender people, im telling you it will solve all your battery issues
[Fascinate Android Development] Droiddude24:
Ok just to odin it from cm7?
[Fascinate Android Development] diesburg:
It just shows as "dialer" in the system battery usage stats. I'm fully charging now and after that wiping and starting from scratch. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but this phone is not activated with verizon, I only use it with wifi. I will report back if it continues after I re-ODIN . Before I replace the stock launcher with ADW, I'm gonna pay attention to see if dialer is using battery excessively so I can narrow the problem down to ADW launcher maybe.

Use the atlas pit file to re partition first

sent from my SCH-I500 PWGB 2. 0b3
[Fascinate Android Development] Droiddude24:
ok use pit first then odin?
[Fascinate Android Development] splashattack:
No, you use it with odin. Theres a button in Odin that says PIT, click that, choose the atlas pit file, and the PWGB odin file for the PDA button, then choose start. Let it do its thing and let it boot up, and youre set.
[Fascinate Android Development] diesburg:
Ok, so I odin'ed this again, then let it boot once, then odined recovery from first post, then flashed the .zip v2 to set permissions correctly from first post. No changes to the system whatsoever. And now the dialer is already slowly climbing to the top of the list in battery usage. In a few more minutes, im sure it will be above display usage. Phone cant be sleeping because im losing a few % battery when I turn the screen off and come back to it like 20 minutes later. Can I delete the sialer from /system/app ? Like I said, I have no verizon service, this is only a wifi device.... so if deleting the dialer will have no consequences on my wifi use, I can just do that. Oh yea, and still be able to make VOIP calls with Bria for android... it has its own dialer though....
[Fascinate Android Development] diesburg:
Ok, so I'm pretty sure airplane mode solves the issue but it kinds sucks because wifi is off at bootup when in airplane mode. I was right, the dialer climbed to the top pretty quickly before trying airplane mode. I'm no dev but if no one else is getting this and I haven't seen this issue in other roms, I'm thinking it's keeping dialer active for some reason to do with activation? Anyways, I'm going to try to delete dialer in system/app, if I remember right, when I did this before, it stops the phone from getting signal when you do that. I just don't wanna freak the system out because its missing dialer or something. ANy more advice would be great. I don't think wiping batt stats is gonna do anything to stop dialer from eating the sh** out of battery. Like I said, if deleting dialer will have no ill effects on the system, I have no problem doing that because I don't use the cellular part of the phone.

EDIT: Is there a specific APK or file somewhere I can delete that will make it where I can't get to the activation screen?

Can the modem being used affect battery life? I ask because now after dialer isnt going crazy, I'm still seeing bad battery life, watching the meter go down in front of me almost, and I never had this before, but until this rom, I was using a different modem, ED04 I think, when I flashed this rom, I flashed the ec09 modem with it. I dont care if the ed04 modem or another breaks cellular data, i just want battery./....and BTW, I'm working on getting a full charge right now so I can clear batt stats.
[Fascinate Android Development] Riley1524:
I would personally advise NOT deleting the stock dialer due to 3rd party dialer apps still use the core of the android dialer. i could be wrong though
[Fascinate Android Development] bestchoicedon:
I haven't read in any of your post that you flashed the appropriate cwm in Odin after going back to stock. I usually flash the tried and true red cwm after flashing back to stock and then before revolting go into download mode. I don't know if it needs to be done but it seems to help eliminate any problems for me. Hope this helps

ROM Manager

For some reason since I flashed this rom on my fascinate ROM Manager does not list my pnone's model. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the only models it offers are both I9000 models. I assume this is why the only ROMs it shows downloadable are for that model and not for the SCH-i500. How can I fix this or should I worry about it right now since there are no ROM updates or kernels?

EH09 originally not for the fascinate. I believe it was for the mesmerize and for a carrier other than verizon. Not sure there's a solution.

Has anyone else seen that the phone isn't getting a 'trickle charge' when it sits on the charger? I use my phone as a bedside clock so the screen stays on all night. This morning when I got up, I had gone up to 100%, and as soon as I unplugged it, it dropped to 75%. Looking at the mA draw in Battery Monitor Widget, there was no charging applied once it reached 100%. Quite likely related, this time around I never got the full battery notification. I guess maybe I should try wiping battery stats again.

To do this right, should I recharge back to 100% again, then wipe? Or does it matter when in the cycle you do it?

I get the exact same thing using the desk cradle as my alarm clock. I was at 77% this morning.
[Fascinate Android Development] MattRussNC:
I have to say that i was skeptical of the performance reports of this rom as far as speed goes. I am reminded of what a stock verizon pushed rom on this phone is like occasionally when i start fresh and boot into stock. I consider the stock experience completely unacceptable and didnt have much hope for this one based on that. I was under the impression that it was the rfs fs that was the bottleneck of our stock roms, that is until i tried this rom. I had been using com rom very happily until the dropped call issue became unbearable. The latest kerns that took care of that issue hasn't worked out as good as the older ones did for me so i decided to try this. WOW this feels every bit as fast to me as the other roms ive tried, with oc included. I do not yet know how it will compare with high demand games or heavy apps but the general snappiness is impressive. I do miss bln, and tsm mod greatly. However until a kernel comes out, i can defiantly live with this rom.

I don't care if its just a port or a complete custom build. This performs equal to a few of the other top roms in real world general speed test (i refuse install up quadrant). I thank you sir for what ever you have involved in getting this to us, it does indeed seem to rock.
[Fascinate Android Development] notoriousB:
I loaded this ROM last night and MAN it is snappy!

I did two additional mods: added a HOSTS file that blocks most banner ads, and removed the startup/shutdown sounds.

One question - does this support custom boot animations? Haven't tried it myself yet, might tonight after work.

So far so good though, thanks ccampos!!!

It works very well. It's just a hosts file that I pulled from another ROM. I've attached it to this email, download the file, unzip it, and copy the file to /etc - overwrite or rename the stock hosts file that is there, and then reboot the phone. Wham, most ads blocked! Make sure the file is named "hosts" - no extension, no capital letters, nothing.
