ok i reflashed to ed05 stock to flash from a clean slate and i used the odin geewiz 2.0 wipe tar and after flashing i put the battery in and it went nuts at the blue recovery, everything was in red errored on everything it tried to do, now wont boot . should i flash a previous version of geewiz first? was i supposed to flash cwr before booting ?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Whoa! Ungood! :(

I think you nailed the problem, I think the ED05 stock recovery (which isn't replaced by my ODIN) can't handle all the other stuff that changed, especially since we swapped it out to Gingerbread.

I think we can recover this without much problem. Here's what I suggest (exactly what you surmised):

> Pull battery

> Get into Download mode

> Use ODIN to flash ClockworkMod

> Get back into Download mode

> Use ODIN to re-flash the GeeWiz "wipe"

> When/if it reboots into ClockworkMod, just "reboot now" and see what happens

> If you're still in hell, I would suggest ODIN-ing the full ED05 stock back on the device, make sure it works right again, then do CWM, then GeeWiz 2. Kinda tedious, but I will lose a lot of sleep if something I put out here did truly bad things to somebody's phone!

This is unfortunately a scenario I never thought of, and never tried it. I need to seriously consider adding something that works for recovery into that ODIN. I didn't want to arbitrarily choose that for anyone, but now that seems rather short-sighted of me. Including the stock EI20 recovery would be OK, but would make people re-flash CWM again afterwards. ugh.

ODIN can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. I learned that the hard way myself one time :(

can you add the CRT (Old TV) Screen off animation from power washed in the next update please?
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
ヽ( ⌒o⌒)人(⌒-⌒ )ノ

Why duplicate effort at getting the Samsung source drop to build when someone else already has a repo ready to go? Although my purpose was to encourage others to work on the kernel and fix my half-ass mistakes. Apparently that didn't quite work out :mad:
[Fascinate Android Development] sendan:
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get init.d support with this ROM/kernel? I'm not having much luck to say the least...
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I'll certainly look into it!

Building a kernel with that support in it now, if it works out OK it will be included in the next drop. Until then, just about any EH09 kernel should work with this ROM. Out of curiosity, what kinds of scripts are you intending to run during startup?
[Fascinate Android Development] sendan:
I was planning on testing out Adrenaline Shot and possibly V6 SuperCharger.

And cool I didn't realize EH09 kernels worked, maybe I'll have some BLN action after all :D
[Fascinate Android Development] QuattroMechanic:
ok, i odin`d b2stock ed05, booted once, then i odin`d geewiz 2.0, then....wait a second... i odin`d cwr then i put the batt. in and Bingo !!!! schmoooov thank you sir :eek: :confused: :D
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Good to hear :) I'm strongly considering cleaning up my "djp952 recovery" this week so that I can include that with the ODIN files from now on and prevent what happened to you :o
[Fascinate Android Development] QuattroMechanic:
Everything is great ... very snappy. I had one problem so far that I've never experienced before, the cap. Buttons died on me for a moment until I hit the power button to lock/unlock the phone. Also last night I watched ralphie may on youtube and they were lit for the whole thing? Honestly its no biggie I can live with it
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
for crt screen-off

framework-res.apk ->res -> values -> bools.xml

change this:

<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>

to this:

<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Why thank you sir! As usual, you make my life infinitely easier :) Consider it done :D

edit: worked perfectly! I love it!
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
glad to help :)
[Fascinate Android Development] briguyy:
Wow i just loaded this on top of TSM ressurection .1 and all i can say is its really fast just stock and the GPS is spot on..locks in seconds.

Thanks!!
[Fascinate Android Development] mzrdisi:
I flashes latest beta Ron/kernel combo today. Google maps doesn't function properly. Multi touch won't work 100%. (I can't rotate the map). Navigation doesn't show the proper top down view either

(I'm assuming related to the other issue I just mentioned.)
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
those screens are good looking JJ

If you like then give Go launcher and Go locker a try :)

pretty smooth them lockscreens are ;)

love em on my fassy.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
2.8 or 2.8.1? I get the skip on both, so maybe it is my receiver. I can say that the changes in 2.8.1 really improved the BT audio quality for me. I'd be interested to know what you think. (And if you like it, thank CyanogenMod - lol)
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Just 2.8. I haven't tried 2.8.1.. but I haven't had a BT skip since 2.5. And I try to keep it as stock as possible. A while back I had BT skips but I was using an audio booster app. but since I reflashed 2.6 and 2.8 without the booster app... my audio is smooth and sounds great.

If you want me to try 2.8.1 I will... but right now I have 2.8 in a backup... so I'd have to start all over with the app installs for 2.8.1... but I'll do it if you need more feedback.

(right noww I'm flashing over to Teamhacksung ICS Build 5 for a quick test run, but I'll be back on GeeWiz in no time I'm sure.)

[EDIT: Well that was short lived... still unstable. BACK TO GEEWIZ 2.8.1... ]

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I've tried all the launchers out there bro. I don't like Go Launcher only because I'm a widget freak and I don't like the (white color) in Go Launcher. I mean, without themes, it's mainly a white background on the widgets and it just erks me something bad. ADW ex cost me about 3bucks, and has more options and a better sleek look IMHO

I was a Launcher Pro freak for a long time then ADW stole my heart. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Okay, I loaded up GW 2.8.1, and have no skips on bluetooth. I can't tell the difference in quality yet... but if you say so...

2.8.1 loaded & works fine, no kinks. The best TW Rom on XDA hands down. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
hmmm.. there are plenty of themes available for go launcher actually and i have found it the best of the lot .

waitup i ll make some screens and show you ;)

and TBH i am surprised as hell seeing such low response in the thread

yeah the ICS is out , and i tried it too , but personally thought there is lot to be done . CERTAINLY not undermin ing the awesome work by Stephen, its great , but on my part i find GB still to my utter liking :)
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Ok... I had to go back to 2.8. For some reason my data cuts out now and then for no reason on 2.8.1. Not sure if it's me in my area or something in the Rom, but I've never had my data cut out while driving down the road. or in my home. Just a heads up DJ. Back on 2.8

I'll flash it back to 2.8.1 later tonight... see if audio sounds better and no data loss.

EDIT: In 2.8.1 It seems when the data signal drops down to one bar it cuts out until a signal is reached again. I don't have this issue with 2.8.... so I'm sticking with that.

I hope my input has helped you in some way. Peace.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
what are you working on DJ atm !!! ???
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
I saw something similar. But was dropping calls at 3 bars due to no signal.

Just Odin'd back to stock, then cleanly to 2.81 and I'm having no more issues today. It may have just been the really bad weather here in east TN though that made satellite acqusition bad and I just Odin'd for nothing!

YMMV, but certainly worth a shot.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
Does the GW camera take IMG_... or 2012-... filename pictures?
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Yeah, I did it again later and 2.8.1 worked fine. I've decided to stick with 2.8 because in 2.8.1 the audio doesn't seem loud enough. It sounds a little cleaner, but 2.8 is definitely louder so...

I also recently decided to try out some of the ICS Roms. Teamhacksung, KANG 4.0.4, CM9, etc. don't like the pink unicorn one bit. the kang worked good, but Honestly This GB Rom does it all. It's got the right amount of settings, options, features, and everything works. all these other versions including the new CM7 fascinatemtd nightly... and I can find stuff missing... not working, or just plain old looks funky. Like the Text messaging interface. CM7 version sucks compared to the look and feel of pure GB.

I'm sticking with 2.8 until further notice. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :D

Peace.
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
Switching wife phone back to GeeWiz from AOKP. Is 2.8.1 having problems with the speaker or is it just Bt?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I understand where you both come from. I have no disrespect for all the hard work they do on the CM9 roms but for all they have working they still need more refinement. One of my concerns is the whole /datadata issue. That partition is small and there's no easy way to clean it out. The fix that's included in the Glitch versions work but cause lag. With Touchwiz Roms they have a dbdata folder which is similar that can be cleaned up a little from the Ram manager. So until they come with a similar solution I'm kind of holding back.

I agree that if it ain't broke don't fix it.
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
Yea i agree. I have alot of respect for the work they are doing and ICS rom works farily well but i have to have stability in a rom for my job. i was having issues with phone not ringing from time to time. not receiving sms messages and such. Under normal use probably not a big deal but in my line of work i can't have that.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Nothing is wrong with 2.8.1 if you come from stock. The audio is cleaner which I believe came from CM7 (i think)... and the bluetooth does not skip at all.

I simply prefer the 2.8 audio which is stock GB I believe. It's just a little louder than the new update. Good luck.
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
@Auro...

Looks like this didn't get answered yet...

The GW rom takes pictures using the

"2012-mm-dd-time"

format.

Sorry for the delay Auro. Hope this answers your question.
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
You do know djp built the ability to adjust volume in... Right? Just checking. Here's how he said to edit it...

Anyway... do you have a link to the 2.8 rom you can share in case anyone else wants to drop back?

I don't have that build, so I can't share it.
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
Has anyone every tried to flash comradesven's KGB Kernel with geewiz recovery? i was interested if it would work or not.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I tried the script for the backlight and couldn't get it to work. One thing I saw was the CHMOD command didn't like having the 0755 at the end; it had to be between chmod and the file name.

Just my 2¢ worth.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:

GeeWiz 2.8 ROM/Kernel/Modem/Recovery/Data Wipe Full Update (ODIN)

WARNING: This will delete all user data from your device, replace your RECOVERY with GeeWiz Recovery as well as replace your modem with the EH03 revision

[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
For the audio volume and touchlight timeout edits, do you do this is ADB or in Terminal Emulator? I've been trying them in the latter but not having any luck.
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
I loaded 2.8 its working well audio is good. Ics was giving me problems with call audio, at time's would be a little muffled. I will just stick with 2.8 thanks for the info .
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
I used to flash KGB with GeeWiz in the past, but KGB new builds although tighter don't seem to do much improvment for GeeWiz other than OC/UV.

I personally have had lag, crashes, hotboots, and bootloops using KGB with GeeWiz. GW doesn't need a faster kernel... the GW kernel flies. And if you use SetCPU, you can bump up the bottom numbers from 100 to 200.. and get that little extra edge of quickness for a smooth smooth ride man.

GeeWiz in itself is one of, if not the best TW ROM on XDA as is... The trick it to bump up the lower numbers on your CPU. Good luck.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I've used the last KGB kernel with GW 2.7 and higher for quite a while. I actually have less hot reboots with it than I had with the Geewiz kernel. Also I like having the option to change audio and other kernel settings like backlight timeout from an app. But then I was doing a lot of dirty flashes but now I should probably try it again since I went back to stock EH03 first.

Just my 2¢ worth.
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
I've been able to do it via terminal emulator... But I know ADB works as well.

Make sure you are setting the file system to R/W. I overlooked that and it messed me up for awhile.

Good luck.

Thanks jj for the link to 2.8! Gonna save that to my pc for backup purposes.
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
Haven't been around the fascinate in a while. Would I just be able to Odin geewiz with the pit file coming from aokp?
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
You can do this, and you don't need a pit. just make sure you have the full wipe update ODIN version... PDA it, and Odin that puppy. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
Cool! I'll use the 2.8 version from the page back. Aokp is great and devs did an awesome job. But having some reboot issues and some other quirks that bother me.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I figured out an easier way to adjust the backlight. Here's what I did:

In Terminal Emulator:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

# cd /sys/class/sec/t_key

# cat > backlight_timeout cat is a text editor

2000 Press Enter to move to next line

Vol-Down + D to accept changes

#

That's it. Now my backlight is set to 2 seconds instead of 15.

Probably the call volume one is similar but you'd have to do the cat > command for each file you want to adjust.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
I wanted to clarify something to save you some time. Not only do you not need to use a pit, but if you do with GW you will not be able to boot. Use the pit with the stock EH03 image to properly partition your flash storage
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
I will be staying with geewiz kernel, it is smooth and i'm not having any lag or any issue's. i was just curious if it would work or if anyone had tried it. I had tried oc when i was on Ics but i never really noticed any boost in performance. Is anyone else using rom toolbox? I found that tring to install boot animations that way was a bad idea. It would start up but there was just a black screen till phone came out of boot animation, i had hoped it would work. I was really liking the droid razor boot animation.

On a side note: Just hit 1 day and 14 hrs in between charges since i reflashed back to geewiz. Loving the battery life.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Crap. This works until you reboot, then it resets back to 15000 again. That explains why it has to be done in init.d.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
was wondering if there are any themes available other than those outdated ( they were for the 2.4 version ) ones from notta .

i could really use some new looks on my GEEwiz :)
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
That's always been my hidden request was having some cool themes... like all the ones from CM7 brought over to GW... that would be sweet.

I have every version of GeeWiz on my computer if anyone wants a particular version or you can PM DJ for it also.
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
That would be cool would like to see some themes.

Having problems with gallery. Worked fine after flashing back to geewiz but now it just fc's everytime I try to open it. I have reset phone fixed permissions and cleared catch. It's still fc's anyone have any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Did you try flashing alternate gallery app

alternate touchwiz gallery: http://www.multiupload.com/XEG5X4J3ZX

md5: fa350f312a72c0483a23b489cdd3f867

picked it up from Superclean thread , using it myself .
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
If the alternate gallery doesn't help you can download QuickPic from the market. It's a better program and it's free.
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
I tried the link there but was unable dl gave error message. I am just using qik pics it works alot better so just sticking with that for now.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Yeah. Multiuploads was put out of business when SOPA/PIPA kicked in... along with a lot of other sites. Mediafire is still up and running so if you have that alternate gallery downloaded, please upload it to Mediafire so others can share. Thank you.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
sure !! i was just being lazy lol

heres the link to alternate Touchwiz gallery

http://www.mediafire.com/?z9rbeg8wdrl1qo3

Does anyone know how to get this ICS bootanima to work on GeeWiz?

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?9c3g1pg7olsv3hu
[Fascinate Android Development] phxshadow:
Would be nice if someone could get it to work. I have not been able to get hardly any to work. Just get a blank boot till start up screen. That is one feature i miss about ICS could just use rom toolbox to set boot animation.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I just got it to work on mine using the GeeWiz 2.8 Rom & kernel. It's talked about in the OP. Here's how:

If you have Root Explorer, copy the downloaded file to /system/media and rename it "sanim.zip" (no quotes)

For those of us too cheap (like me) to spring for Root Explorer, you can use Terminal Emulator. Do the following:

$su

#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

#cp /sdcard/download/ICSbootanimation.zip /system/media/sanim.zip

Change the CP line to whatever path you saved the file to. If you're using another kernel like KGB change the cp line to end in /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Hope this helps.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Okay, so is it safe to say if I'm using the KGB kernel without the terminal, I can just name it "bootanimation.zip" and drop it into system/media?

EDIT: Yeah... that works too. Thanks scarfman4
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Yup. Basically the GeeWiz kernel looks for the filename "sanim.zip" and other kernels usually look for "bootanimation.zip". So name it according to what the kernel wants, which usually say in their respective OPs.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
its been quite a while !!

ssup guyz

how u doin DJ :)
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
I friend of mine just got a used Fascinate off eBay... he's running stock GB... I have not yet convinced him that GeeWiz is the way to go, but he absolutely loves the ICS bootanimation. Is there a way to load the ICS boot anim we've been discussing on a stock rom?

he's rooted also
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
If he's running the stock kernel then no. The stock kernels can't recognize the bootanimation.zip or sanim.zip files like the custom kernels we use.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Thanks... This might convince him to go to GeeWiz then. I'm sure he'll be on board in no time.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
ok we have great animations now for geewiz i particularly love the green droid one :)

wanted to asj if i can flash the above zip on wife's aokp she s using on her fassy
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Looking in the flashable zip of AOKP M5 it has the file "bootanimation.zip" located in /system/media. So.if you rename the file with that name and use my instructions to place it there it should work.
[Fascinate Android Development] JLawL:
I have been using this ROM for a while now, and just realized that I could install the Swype package back to the phone.

I put the zip on my sd card, booted into recovery, (I'm using clockwork) and installed the zip.

Upon rebooting the phone, I was stuck at the boot animation for 10 minutes before deciding I did something wrong.

Is there some different way I'm supposed to install the zip? I did not see that it required GeeWiz kernel. I'm using KGB.

KGB Kernel

GeeWiz 2.8.1 Rom

Clockwork Recovery
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
That happens a lot after Dalvik gets wiped, and most of djp's addons do. I wait about 3-4 minutes and if it still is stuck I do a Volume-Up and Power button hold for 4+ seconds to force a reboot. See if that helps.
[Fascinate Android Development] JLawL:
Was not aware I could do that. I wish I would have tried that...I re-flashed everything lol. My phone needed a clean out anyway. I did get the swype to work though :D

I'll keep that in mind though when I try adding the circle battery thingy. Appreciate it!
[Fascinate Android Development] AaronCompNetSys:
Don't touch that Swype package. Get Swype Beta, way better.
[Fascinate Android Development] AmanteNJ:
After months of trying out ICS went back to GW 2.7 cause of it's stability. ICS is surely great and tons of features but for what i use my phone for, Stability is my priority. GW 2.8.1 is lagging bad for me so i flashed back to 2.7 which works the way i want my phone to work.

The only way i am leaving GW now is a phone upgrade.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Beautimous. Thanks scarfman4
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
NP. Just curious what theme are you using in that screenshot?
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
all of the batteries work. I believe it's the "K" battery. Thanks again.

I'm using ADW Launcher EX, with ICS icon pack. I've been bouncing back and forth between GeeWiz and AOKP ICS... mainly because my friend just recently got a Fassy and I'm showing him the different customizations you can do with it.

Here are some other looks I did in ADW Launcher Ex.

Here is the background I'm using now.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Pretty neat looking stuff you have there JJ
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Thanks. Here's a video that shows you how you can make your android look like a "boss". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOah6dXYzIY

Even though GeeWiz is going strong, especially with my new circle batteries... I'm feeling out AOKP ICS... seems quite stable on build 39
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Indeed

I have two fassies and love using both herein and aokp.

New 38 and 39 both are good and with devil kernel it's a really sweet setup.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
So you're not happy with icy glitch?
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
yupp i am not,

devil is smooth and saw no bugs till now , glitch has something like an erratic feeling. :P
[Fascinate Android Development] vrahn:
Just poking my head here. Thought I'd share a screenie of my phone. I'm AOKP with devil kernal. And am loving it on build 39
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
which one do you use. CMC or VC?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
What's the temp like on it? I tried AOKP 39 with the Skunkworks 0607 kernel and it would run 39-41C with regular use.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
the only glitch i've found with the icy glitch kernel is when using the Power saver mode... it won't wake the phone now and then when I notification comes in. I have to yank the battery or it will hotboot... but it says this may happen anyway... We'll check out the devil for a week or so and see.
[Fascinate Android Development] vrahn:
Unsure tbh.

Where do I check the temperature?
