Thanks everyone as always for the support and props!

Quick update for y'all, if anyone is waiting for an EH03 implementation. The bulk of the ROM is done, I only have 2-3 more todos on my list and 4-5 known bugs to find. The biggest problem I had outstanding is solved, which was that Google Search didn't work in the EH03 Browser. I finally tracked that down and all three (google/yahoo/bing) options now work. Google is of course the default ;)

The next major issue is that my GeeWiz EI20 kernel isn't entirely compatible with EH03. It seems to work for 99% of everything, but LOGCAT fails miserably due to a difference in the kernel logging driver. I'm a little worried about that being an issue with more than just LOGCAT, so unless Samsung releases EH03 kernel source before the ROM is ready (or I can figure out what they did differently), I will package the stock kernel by default. You can always switch it out!

Overall, though, it seems pretty good. Mostly the same as the Froyo version on the outside, but I found and corrected/changed a couple new little things this time. I'm also checking out the Galaxy Nexus ROM to see what that has by default as far as Google Applications, maybe I'll add a few more into GeeWiz (like G+ or Google Music). I don't want to introduce bloat, but at the same time I want to have a fairly complete set of default apps.

EH03 in and of itself is indeed a bit of a step backwards from a UI and application perspective, so I may try to maintain both EH03 and EI20 variants at least for a while. We'll see how that goes. It may be too much work. Both have their merits.

I'm still at a loss on the Google Maps problems. Happens to me all the time, it's truly annoying. Sorry :( If anyone sees that somebody has fixed the lock-up issues PLEASE point me to them!
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Really looking forward to the new GW EH03 release. Someone on the Superclean3 thread says that EH03 seems to run hotter than on TSMResurrection, which is EI20 based. Have you noticed this between Geewiz 2.2 and EH03?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Can't say that I have, but I wasn't really looking for anything like that either. My dev phone seems nice and cool all the time, at least. I haven't used EH03 in daily use yet, but I'll certainly look for that!
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
That user was me. My results were hardly conclusive. For me personally, if the fix for the random screen activations could be patched into EI20 I would use that.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Does this still happen if you use Superclean with the GeeWiz kernel? Just wondering if it's Rom related or Kernel related.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
The screen activation is ROM related. Kernel doesn't matter
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
Put this kernel on the wifes phone and works great!

I am guessing I cannot go to ext4 without your recovery though, right?

Can't explain why, but my gps works now. Thanks

I just want the phone to work perfectly, despite all my tinkering.
[Fascinate Android Development] Andassaran:
I seem to be having a small issue... when I use the 2.2 fullwipe odin, it flashes fine, but then fails to boot, dropping me at the stock sammy recovery. Any issues as to why? i used the atlas_2.2.2.pit to repartition (coming from CM7), then put the downloaded rom in the "pda" section of odin. hit repartition and auto-reboot, then hit start. flashes fine, fails to boot.
[Fascinate Android Development] AmanteNJ:
Try ODIN the ROM/Kernel only and leave the atlas v2.2 pit aside see if that will work and make sure you got a clean download. most of the time you will have a corrupt file that causes the problem
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Yeah, I was going to also ask what ODIN said as far as status to make sure that all the file(s) were being applied before the phone rebooted. I've never personally switched to MTD (CM7 et al), so I don't have much advice for how to get back from it.

The ODIN file I provided doesn't include the boot loaders, that may be why it's not able to come back from MTD all the way. I would strongly suggest using one of the available guides to get back to ED05 Stock first and make sure everything boots up and looks good before going to something custom again. I don't include those files for a reason - they can hard-brick your phone if something goes wrong (did it to myself once).

The main problem with going back to full stock ED05 is the modem. It becomes likely that the data connection will hose when you switch back to the EC0x/EH03 Gingerbread modem. You could modify the full stock ODIN to use the modem you want, BUT I personally don't recommend that since again, if that ODIN gets messed up in just the wrong way, you're bricked.

So, that's my suggestion: Follow an MTD->Stock guide, make sure it all looks normal, then give it another go. If your data gets messed up and you need an MEID to temporarily swap out with Verizon to fix it, let me know I may be able to help with that. I think that bricked phone of mine is still lying around here somewhere ... ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
@djp how did you get the samsung keypad working when putting it back in?

axt9 apk and the xt9 lib when put back in only force close for me...coulda sworn when i used do it froyo like that it was fine :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
That was pretty much it, drop it in, clear the Dalvik and go. It's likely I never just literallydropped it in with EH03 as it was something I had from Gw 2.2so It's more likely I just included it in my first update-zip.

I used an AxT9IME.apk/lib from a GB-based Samsung ROM, I think I stole it from an i9000 (or was it the Charge?). It worked OK even before I modded it to remove the keypress sound, but maybe worth trying a decompile/recompile to see if some disconnect has occurred with the framework resources?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
hmm, cant hurt to try that :o

i literally just grabbed the the ei20 one and had the issue...heh
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Any progress on a new GW EH03 kernel? I'm really content with the 2.2 kernel as I don't usually do logcats and really like the callboost. It would be nice to see the changes you have in 2.2 in an EH03 based kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Not at the moment. It's likely that I won't be able to do anything of value differently until we get EH03 source code. There are a number of to-dos outstanding on the EI20 kernel that I should probably work on rather than trying to fix logcat :D

No problems here with the 2.2/EI20 kernel on EH03 other than the logcat to report so far today. Feedback on EH03 ROM BETA is positive so far, so I doubt I'll have an EH03-specific kernel in time. I'm hoping to package up and release GW 2.3/EH03 late tonight at this point, I really haven't run into any issues yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
My wife has PWGB and and I am running 2.2.2 Geewiz kernel on it. The video camera was running fine before (w/ stock kernel) but since loaded the geewiz, the video camera will not load at all.

Will a Fix permissions work?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Probably not, my guess is that the kernel isn't compatible with the Camera module in PWGB. Samsung changed some things about the video camera in the kernel with the EI20 release, it's the most likely suspect I think.

I would give comradesvan's KGB kernel a try: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364912. I can also PM you a link to an older GW kernel that doesn't have the EI20 changes in it (when I get home, no access to mediafire from work) to see if that works any better. If it does, it wouldn't be that hard to make a one-off build without those particular changes.

If none of the above work or sound like a plan, I would be happy to flash PWGB onto my phone and test it out to see if I can do anything for ya :D Can't promise success, but I'm always willing to try!
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
I think I wait until eh03Rom comes out and just switch her phone then. Maybe I will just put kgb on hers for now.

Thank you for all your help.

>> GeeWiz 2.3 has been uploaded and linked up in the main post of this thread

GeeWiz 2.3 is a ground-up effort based on the VZW EH03 ROM this time rather than the ACG EI20 ROM. While it lacks some of the UI pizazz of EI20, it also fortunately lacks a lot of the annoyances that came with that base ROM as well. For people that prefer EI20, I am still considering maintaining that ROM as well, but I cannot promise I will have the time to keep up with it (just check how many times I've promised a GW Froyo update - LOL).

There are only a few known issues:

1) Google Maps still locks the touchscreen from time to time. I still have not seen or been able to come up with a solution to this.

2) LOGCAT is essentially worthless if you use a custom kernel (including the GeeWiz kernel) with an EH03 ROM right now. We need the EH03 kernel source from Samsung to figure out exactly what the problem is there. If you need LOGCAT for development or debugging purposes, I'm afraid the only workaround right now is to install the stock EH03 kernel.

3) The default application layout in TouchWiz will not be in complete alphabetical order. The problem is that TwLauncher is "installed" before some of the other applications, so it messes things up. On a clean GeeWiz install, you can fix this easily by clearing data on the TwLauncher application after the phone is completely booted up the first time. That will reset the application list, and put the ones included with the ROM into proper order.

The only changes to the GeeWiz kernel/recovery this time around are the inclusion of the EH03 initramfs driver/module files and a small tweak to the init.rc also from EH03. If the kernel didn't work well for you before, it's extremely likely that v2.3 won't change that. Sorry :(

Give it a try and let me know what you think! I tried to provide a solid ROM for ya, but it's all-new and is bound to have some mistakes lingering about or things I never tested properly :cool:

edit: Oh yeah, I put updated "extras" up for v2.3 as well with the files from the EH03 ROM instead of the EH09/EI20 ROMs. Nothing new, just refreshed!
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
For the TW app list not being alphabetical just download Appzorter from the market. Works wonders.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
Does EH03 kernel trickle charge?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Yes, it should start recharging when the level drops to 94%. It's not the most elegant implementation but it works! (It fakes you unplugging the cord so you'll hear the tone/vibrate - I need to go back and make that better still)
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
GeeWiz 2.3 ODIN files have been posted. Remember: ODIN is like a lightsaber -- a powerful weapon but it's really really easy to cut your own leg off :D

Now, if you guys will excuse me for a bit, I have to put the box of Gingerbread back into the cupboard and dig out some Froyo from the back of the fridge before it's past it's expiration date. 60 days is far too long to leave people hanging for an update ....
[Fascinate Android Development] AmanteNJ:
Does this have the "remove OEM battery check" from EI20?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Yes.

[blah, blah, blah, post is too short without this] :)
[Fascinate Android Development] calebv2:
This rom runs so fast and perfect i love it thank you
[Fascinate Android Development] AmanteNJ:
lol ... nice going to try this out.

been with SC3 and battery is awesome last me 1 1/2 days with still 20% with minimal usage (facebook, angry birds while in the can, email, txt and youtube).

hehehe after flashing this update over night, verizon decided to release the official GB EH03 dohhhhhhh
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
LOL! I'm just glad they made EH03 official so I don't have to redo all that stuff again :cool: It also means we'll see EH03 kernel code soon, which is a very good thing.

Something always gets updated within hours of me uploading a ROM, it's like clockwork. Typically it's Google Maps or Superuser :D
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
hehe i know the feeling :rolleyes: sometimes its as im uploading i get notifications on my phone about gapp updates
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:
Is it beneficial at all to do the verizon ota to EH03 and then flash geewiz 2.3?

"I just want the phone to work perfectly, despite all my tinkering. "
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Only if you want Verizon to see you OTAed so they won't suspect you are running a custom ROM. Otherwise no.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
It should also reduce the chances of you having problems with the modem since it will patch ed05 to eh03. It certainly won't hurt! I'd say if you have the time why not?
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
For what it's worth I've ODINed between ED05, EC09, an EH03 more than once without incident. I'm unsure of what is going wrong in these discussed cases. I will say that doing an ESN swap involving your phone is a good way to update your data keys and roaming capabilities
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Just decided to try out GeeWiz 2.3. I can't believe how fast it is! Keep up the good work djp!
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:
Just flashed rom/kernel 2.3. When rebooting from cwm 2. 4,it booted up, then shut down and needed thetwo finger salute to reboot again. Now all seems fine, will report back if I find any bugs. Let's hope there isn't any.

Question - is there an accurate battery for this new version of gewhiz?

Thanks for all the contributions.

"I just want the phone to work perfectly, despite all my tinkering. "
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Did you wipe data or upgrade in place? I always seem to have some little glitch when I upgrade in place, hopefully it was just something minor that doesn't come back. Doubly so because LOGCAT doesn't work and we may never figure out why! Glad it didn't cause any grief for ya.

As far as a battery mod, I haven't found one that I really like yet. I also haven't spent much time looking, I'm sure there are a few out there that would look good with the stock theme. I'm open to suggestions!! If there is one kinda like the sbrissen graphics for Froyo, something that keeps the olive green and general look/shape of the GB battery icon, I would absolutely be interested in adding it for everyone.

I checked my notes for the changes made to the stock framework-res.apk file, and I didn't do anything important that would be lost if you flashed an EH03-based framework with an accurate battery mod in it. You *may* lose the CRT screen-off animation and the slow-blur effect behind the power button menu, as those options were set in that file, but if the mod developer enabled them as well, no worries there. There's always a chance for incompatibilities, but if you do have one in mind that is based on "stock", I think it would be OK. (Of course clear the Dalvik, have a backup, etc).

I have nothing useful to do tonight since I can't find my wife's Fascinate dock (I want to try the EI20 cradle apps, I like them better), so I'll head over to the themes area and start looking. If nothing tickles my fancy, I can always make my own, right?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
FYI to everyone, I uploaded a new "extra" for GeeWiz 2.3; linked at the end of the first post here. I quickly grew to dislike the EH03 Browser, the new extra replaces it with a (recompiled) EI20 Browser.

I disliked the way the EH03 Browser stopped when scrolling like a page up/page down effect, nor did I like how it handled overscroll. Lots of checkerboards and content flashing for me. The EI20 Browser scrolls up/down crazy fast (really crazy, hard to control at times), and was intended for GB glow-edge overscroll so no weird checkerboarding. The EI20 Browser also doesn't have Bing as a valid search engine (I may add it for completeness), but I doubt that would be of much concern to anyone here since the whole point is to kill Bing :D

I realize this is a personal preference, so I'll keep the EH03 Browser as the default since it's what is supposed to be there and anyone that prefers EI20 Browser can switch out with the extra like I did!

Are there any other apps you guys preferred from EI20 that I could provide as extras? The cradle apps are already on my list, I just have to find my wife's dock and see if they work right with the VZW equipment. Maybe take the Browser and the Cradles and start some type of "EI20 Enhancement Pack"? :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I use the UOT kitchen and upload the framework-res file from whatever rom I am using. Then I pick whatever battery meter I like and they send me a flashable zip. Right now I've used one of the circle meters that doesn't alternate between charging and level, replace the battery graphics with sbrissen's version, sign it then add back to a flashable zip. Works really well.
[Fascinate Android Development] Wolfkmann:

With this current rom it seems that I need to do the two finger reboot every time I leave cwm.

One last question: my build number is SCH-I500.EH03

but

my baseband is S:i500.04 V.ED05

is this what it should be?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
just means you are using the ed05 radio...u might want to try ec09 or eh03 and see if they work better for ya
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
If you were running ED05 modem (baseband) before and flashed just the Rom/Kernel version then yes the baseband won't change. If you want the EH03 modem you'll either have to Odin the full stock EH03 release from Nitsuj17's thread or the ODIN of GeeWiz 2.3 that includes the modem and recovery.

from my experience ec09 and eh03 are far better than ed05, but thats on my device. Your experience could be totally different. ed05 was constantly in and out of 1x. Ec09 does this the least on my device and gives me the best data speeds.

Thanks for this 2.3 update. Ive been running it now for 3 days all stock even kernel and i can say its very snappy and the battery life is beteer than the other eh03 i was running. Thanks for the continual support on our Fascinates and the great work on the ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
no odining a radio wont wipe data...that only happens when you odin a rom package. recoveries and radios are basically add-ons.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Did the modem/radio upgrade go OK for you? I'm curious if I can take that warning about modem changes and losing data connection down now that EH03 is the modem/radio of choice instead of the unofficial EC09. I had no problems going from ED05 back to EH03 after I upgraded GW Froyo the other day (first time for everything!) and I hadn't heard of anyone losing data connection using the stock OTA update.

Also, what version of ClockworkMod are you using? I've been using my own recovery exclusively for a long time now so I wouldn't have seen the problem you're having coming out of it. I'd like to flash the same version you have to see if I did something wrong with my update zips that's causing your problem there.

I don't ever try to push anyone one way or another, but I am curious if there is something specific that ClockworkMod does that my GeeWiz recovery doesn't that would prevent you from using it. It is limited in direct comparison, but I have found it to be quite adequate for all my needs. Again, I'm not asking you to switch, just seeing if there is something I can add to it or change about it that would make it more useful for everyone. There are a handful of things missing that I commented out before releasing it because I wasn't 100% comfortable with how well they worked, maybe I can finish those up and include them. The full device backup/restore and full device EXT4<->RFS conversion options would probably be good things to complete ;)

How do I voodoo this ROM. In clockwork mod you have voodoo options, I haven't seen it in this recovery.

Never mind. I think I'd have to use the KGB kernel with CWM recovery. KGB keeps the soft buttons on all the time and it sucks for reading Kindle at night time so I'm staying stock on this rom.
