(Now if I can only find an app that makes my favorite Keurig coffee, I'd be in hog heaven.) :D
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
wowho : I am already havin a wagging tongue :O

now thats called making full use of your device , i can see you have apps for more or less everything ;)

great going

there are very many new in there , gonna have a look at this lot :) especially those icons pack

thankies for the share.

I am sure this will enlighten us all about various new apps and stuff
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
JJ i know its kinna noobish :P but how do i use droidicons :(

do i need launcher pro for that to work ? ,

i currently have TW4 nextgen , Go launcher and Stock TW launcher.

also how to use the rest of the icon packs that you got :P
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
yes, it works with launcher pro, go launcher, and adw launcher... in the launcher settings for themes, use the custom feature and navigate to droid icons... any of the icon packs are used within a custom launcher. I think metrostation has a different way to use it. There is a video on youtube that describes in detail how to use metrostation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOah6dXYzIY

I mainly use droid icons for dock bars. And adw launcher uses ICS theme pack with one click.

Won't work with TW launchers.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I believe go launcher has an option for custom docks. in there you can choose "custom", and then choose droid icons... and you have tons of docks to choose from.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Mr Scarfy , actually today i tried this. I couldnt before, but this ate my status bar away, lol it totally killed it.

Do u think i should use the one for geewiz coz i had to restore my nandroid like 10 times today due to various mess ups.

Fyi i am currently on sc ics theme with sc power menu, sc accurate battery and sc aosp lock over geewiz 2.8 rom and kernel.

Btw the geewiz gb acc battery mod worked wonders for mrs and thereby me ;-)

From my utterly Fascinating I500 Fascinate :-)
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
That happens to me as well sometimes and I've never figured out why. It only happens once in a blue moon after flashing a battery or signal meter mod, or after converting to ext4 using GeeWiz recovery.

Whenever this happened to me I would just flash the Rom zip of the version of GW i'm running without wiping data then reboot to get it back. Then I flash the mod and it's OK.

If after that it messes up again let me know and I'll try to redo the file from a more current version of GeeWiz.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Dont u think may b i should try the geewiz version of signal bar update mod.

From my utterly Fascinating I500 Fascinate :-)
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
You mean the ICS looking one? The only other one I had was a personal one I made that has the signal bars look more like Froyo bars.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
yes i mean the one ( geewiz ics signal bar update mod that you made ) that notta has added in his latest update for the geewiz ICS theme .

should i try flashing that ?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Can't hurt to try.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Oh I forgot to add Animod to my list of apps. It makes for some very cool animations and in most cases speeds up your device... especially when using spare parts set on fast.

Sent from my awesome SCH-I500 Fassy
[Fascinate Android Development] JLawL:
Okay, I asked this once before, but for the life of me cannot find the post and therefor cannot seem to find the answer, so I apologize in advance.

The first time I flashed this ROM, I was using KGB kernel and CWM recovery, and everything was alright. But I decided to use all of GeeWiz as others have said it runs smoother, and I wanted to use a custom animation.

I downloaded the full ODIN package and flashed it, upon booting the phone, it takes me to the GeeWiz recovery screen, at which point I cannot seem to go any further.

I don't believe I've done anything wrong...kind of hard to mess up going from ODIN. Is there anything else I need to do? Rebooting the phone from recovery simply brings me back to recovery, and I cannot go any further.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
What were you running before ODINing GeeWiz? Did you just flash the Rom or the whole thing that also wipes the phone?

Try flashing the stock EH03 with the Atlas PIT file, let the phone completely boot up, then try GeeWiz again. It will wipe your phone but should work fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] JLawL:
I did flash the stock 03 with atlas first. I am going to just try reflashing everything right now and see if I get a better result lol. I don't need the Atlas file when flashing to GeeWiz right? I didn't use it, maybe thats why...

EDIT: Booted up this time. Not sure what that was all about but I'm hoping once I try an alternate gallery I can avoid the gallery issues and this will officially be perfect for me. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Do not use the Pit file unless you are flashing stock. When you use the pit file it wipes the partition table and recreates it, basically wiping the phone. The GeeWiz ODIN doesn't contain all of the necessary files for the phone like stock does; it just replaces the Rom, Kernel, modem and recovery but expects the other files to already be there. That's why you should always flash stock EH03 first then flash GeeWiz without the pit file.

Try QuickPic from the Play Store. Works much better than the stock gallery.
[Fascinate Android Development] JLawL:
I'll try it. The alternate gallery linked here still force closes :( I love everything about this ROM except that >.< I'm assuming its the ROM since it doesn't seem to happen when I'm on ICS or just stock 03.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
It locks up on SuperClean3 and I believe TSM Resurrection as well. Maybe the gallery doesn't like deodexed EH03 roms. Using QuickPic was what many devs and testers decided was the ideal alternative, and it is a better program IMHO.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
gallery issue has been there in fascinate Roms since the beginning ,

its wise to use Quickpic, one of the best app i have ever come across,

you ll never miss stock gallery ever.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
On a side note , i remember there have been numerous discussions about this , but i think i have forgotten if there was a fix or something .

the screen in geewiz sometimes never goes to sleep on its own and when u try to push the power button it takes screenshot instead of going to sleep !!

Is there a fix or this has been a samsung issues which ll plague us till eternity.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
It's a hardware failure that takes some microsoldering to fix. There's another thread somewhere in the Fascinate forum on how to do it but it sounds complex unless you know what you're doing.

There's a GeeWiz addon that disables the screenshot ability altogether, or you can just find the file "ScreenCaptureService.apk" in /system/app and either delete or rename it. I do the latter in case I ever need it again I can put it back, then disable it again when I'm done.
[Fascinate Android Development] JLawL:
I had that issue also. Removed the feature and it works perfectly. Also, switching to QuickPic did the trick!!!

I'm now 100% satisfied with my phone. Or I will be, as soon as I bump it up to 200-250 minimum so its a little quicker on the basic tasks :D I saw somewhere what people were using to do that now I just need to find it again lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Most of us on GW use SetCPU from the market. I bump up my low end to 200 also. smooth as a babies bottom. :laugh:

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

I use to use KGB with GW but as soon as KGB is running and you go flashing other stuff like battery icons and whathaveyou, KGB always usually takes a dump and FC everywhere. at least IMHO
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
I never had a good experience with kgb, i feel stock geewiz kernel is just perfect.

Also 200 min in setcpu and if you like, then faster settings in spare parts just makes this baby fly.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
@ JJ and Mr Scarfy !!

was wondering if its possible to just get a ICS colored theme for geewiz ,

i mean no need to chnage anything at all , just the color scheme from default greenish + grey to ICS blue + grey and of course a a status bar just like ICS

so all in all just a status bar having ICS icons , signals and color scheme

and no chnage anywhere else , just the color change. ??

is that possible if yesw then how can we do it exactly
[Fascinate Android Development] thisguy23:
Could you upload the sc mods? I can't find them anywhere. Thank you.

[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
I don't know the first thing about themeing. I like what Notta has done, and don't know how you would change it to make it look like GB with ICS colors. Isn't that what he's already done? I mean, the theme is definitely still GB with ICS colors... not sure what you would want changed. My best advice is to talk with Notta and work out your wants with him.

... and of course link us up when the theme is created. :laugh:

I'm getting ready to try the ICS Red for GW for the days 4th of July celebration. :highfive::victory:
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Actually there are a few things like the drop down menu icons, personslly i would like them to be more compact , and so is the case with dial pad,

I dont want to burden notta coz he has already done enough upon my request, like he has just posted the honeycomb theme for geewiz as well

It was just a query , if possible great, otherwise i am good with the ics and hc themes.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Now that I think about it having grey instead of a black background would look pretty cool. Or even a fade like in the SMS apk. I didn't know what you were saying at first, but now I agree. Maybe we can get Notta to replace the black with grey.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Well just thought of tweaking the home screen a bit based on JJ's recommendations ;-)

Its not too much but how do you find this JJ and scarfman ?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Looks nice. What launcher are you using?
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Touchwiz 4 , the one i shared a few days back, plus sg s 2 icon theme on it using tw4manager.

Its tricky to use this as its meant for s2 but i manage
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:

and keeping my fingers crossed for a greyish theme from notta :)

btw temme JJ which radio u on atm ? and which one u think is better in terms of reception and voice quality ?
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
I'm on eh03. No reception problems here. Not sure really. Some say ec09 is faster. I couldn't say. I haven't noticed a difference.

Hey dredd, does tw4 use scrollable Widgets? Like other launchers
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Scrollable as in i don't know what scrollable Widgets are, but i think it doesn't have that.

Edit : just wanted to update that on wife's fassy i have flashed the latest M6 with latest devil kernel upon her insistence LOL,

working good i must say

more about the comparasions later.

the fassy will again get the attention , lol

i just read at aokp thread that a guy refused to accept his FedEx delivery of S3 :P

Thank God i didnt decide in haste :P I am actually more than happy with fascinate and now that aokp will be doing the JB updates as well, i think we are gonna enjoy our oldy fassy a bit more . :D :D :D

BTW : although i never use my fassy as a music player or video player , but just for the sake wanted to ask which is considered the BEST music player and video player for us !!!

i would like to update wife's fassy ( which is currently running on AOKP build M6 ) with the music and video player

also wanted to ask if there are any other solid CWM recoveries available : the Red recovery with 3 30 fix has been my favourite since the day Jt fixed it , but the date issue while making nandroid is kinna annoying !!
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
the GS3 is still locked but is now rooted by a senior member of xda. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPKdk64cxfQ&feature=g-user-u

As for a music player. I like Player Pro. there is a free version I believe but I bought mine. It also has a DSP Pack that expands the EQ from 6 bands to 12. I think its 12.

You can also try MX Player. I know it plays videos, and it might play audio too.

Here is a CWM Recovery that I found pretty stable. it's 4.0.10 fixed for cm7 ODIN. I could be mistaken so flash at your own risk.

Peace
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
S3 : interesting :)

and thanks for the players mate .

about the cwm fixed for cm7 : although been using it everytime when i flash ICS , but never tried it on GB , will give it a try someday :P

but Ics is running great on wife's fassy the M6+linaro+devil combo is wonderfully stable , she hasnt complained anything as of now in past 2 days :P
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
I don't use CWM much. I can flash M6 straight from GW Recovery. :D

I tried M6-L-D. But the first flash froze on me... but I got it to work again. Seems really stable. I really love ICS... BUT.. the one thing that brings me back to GB... is the SMS setup in ICS. The screen is white. 1X... and my side of the text is right aligned. 2X. I cannot stand the right-alignment in the SMS. I was going to try and use Handsent or some other SMS apk as my main SMS, but I wanted to ask you if you think that's a good idea. If it works, then I'll switch over to M6.. if not... Going with the plain text with no style whatsoever... just drives me batty. My only complaint. I hope I can fix it.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
I know, i am picky and fussy too when it comes to minutest of minute alterations in my routine stuff.

But ics is refreshingly different, give it like 3 days , see if you can get used to the creamy iced hands ;)

I would suggest u to try the standard m6 with .99 devil, will share the devil settings that droidstyle has suggested me via pm

Try chomp sms, or textplus , you may like em.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Ok... I'm loading M6 now. Gonna try Chomp SMS. thanks. and I'll use the settings for Devil you sent me. Be back in a few. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Just loaded chomp again , lol your side is right in this too,
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
OK... Chomp didn't do it for me. I'm using Pansi SMS. M6 loaded and running. sweet. I guess I should change me sig now. :silly:
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
well... Pansi sucks too. I guess I'll have to deal with the stock SMS for now. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm not into tablets too much... I still have over a year and half on my vzn account so any new device would have to be bought outright retail. Looks like I'm waiting for something.

She's running Tweaked v2.2 w/PBJ (kernel). Loves the speed.

Just switched back to GeeWiz from ICS. I was having a problem with apps not working that I need to work. But now on GeeWiz I am getting alot of time on 1x instead of 3g. Should I flash eh03 radio file or is there other was to fix?
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
It's definitely compatible with GW and GB. They've updated it so you can load other icon packs and get a complete ICS feel.

Not sure about the one in the thread.

Anyone know the differences?

Definitely...

I'd recommend a flash to stock (bloated) EH03, then up to GeeWiz on EH03.

See very first post of this thread for details.
