The "stock" GeeWiz uses the Verizon animations. You just need to re-apply the "EI20 Boot Animations" extra to get the spiffy cool Samsung animations and sounds back. The current .zip out there is compatible with all GW Gingerbread versions:

GeeWiz EI20 Boot Animations (EDIFY update-zip):

This update replaces the Verizon Startup/Shutdown animations and audio with the generic Samsung versions from the EI20 ROM.

- Compatible with GeeWiz 2.3 - 2.8

Sorry :( I've had the Nexus since the day it came out, and I love it. I don't know how much development I'm really going to do for it, if any, since Google has killed dev support for CDMA phones and honestly -- it's pretty much what I want out of the box :) There are things here and there, but Cyanogenmod and many many others have ROMs out there that I could use to get those things.

The main #1 reason I have to kill off GeeWiz is my contract. I have about a week left now, and my wife is very upset with us paying for three phones. I can't say I blame her. HOW the contract is up before September this year I don't know, that has to be a mistake, but we really could use the extra $$ around here. Losing the Fascinate will pay for the new puppy we got last month all by itself ;)

Check it out, I'm still trying to make good on an old promise! It may not be perfect, but it's a solid start ... presenting a BETA of GeeWiz 2.8 "Wifi Only"! Exclusive to those watching this thread, I'm not ready to link it in the main posts yet.

GeeWiz Wifi-Only Patch (EDIFY update-zip):

This update will force the Fascinate into Airplane Mode on boot while allowing Wifi and Bluetooth to continue to work, removes the first-run activation, removes the ability to change Airplane Mode, changes the Mobile Data drop-down to the Sound drop-down and removes the signal/Airplane Mode indicator from the status bar.

It is highly recommended that you wipe the phone using Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset BEFORE installing this update to ensure that the phone's Verizon activation status is removed and to allow the ROM to default all telephony settings again

- Compatible with GeeWiz 2.8

http://www.mediafire.com/file/hu7zu5b3f3zth79/geewiz-2.8-wifionly-patch-04212012.zip

MD5: 649d830d6abc03f84bb2dcbc1c972be7
​

While this update won't remove the Dialer, MMS, etc, so far it's been very effective for me with killing phone and data. I'm not taking any extra battery hit since I've used a forced Airplane Mode to disable the cell radio. All I see in an idle LOGCAT is the battery status changes.

Changing the ROM to remove the Dialer icon, the Hotspot icon, etc, would require me to re-sign the entire thing, and that's problematic. I know how to do it, but it would make all of the other GeeWiz stuff incompatible.

If you really want to get the Fascinate to behave more like a Galaxy Player, try this:

- Flash GW 2.8 and then this Wifi-Only patch

- Go into the Dialer

- Enable the hidden menus by keying *#83786633 and then pressing HOME

- Go back into the dialer, clear the number, and key *#22745927. You will be asked for an SPC, it's "000000". Select "Hiddenmenu Enable" and then OK

- Back in the dialer, key *#7594#. Check the "Enable to shutdown on End call long press" and then HOME.

Now a long-press on the power button will just power off the device and there won't be a lock screen anymore. That's how the Galaxy Player behaves :)

Let me know what you guys think. It's not nearly as cool as what I wanted to do, but the basic requirements of not needing Verizon for anything seem to have been mostly met :)
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
EDIT:... oops, you beat me to it. This helps alot cuz I may have to deactivate my fassy again. Wife wants to skype and the Charge is the only one that does that for me. So this is just the wifi patch. Any luck on the battery icon. no big deal if not.

Ha.. every time I hear someone sigh or say "geewiz"... I like do a double take. "GEEWIZ?!?!?".... LOL... ahh the memories. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I'm testing the battery meters you requested now :) I don't expect a problem, I just need to make sure the "full" animation works right since it was a change in the XML. I used Fightspit's "SuperCircle" graphics, one with version "D" (Blue) and one with version "F" (Green).

After that I'm going to do the custom boot animation that was made for GeeWiz

And three more extras ... rxwookie was kind enough to make this for me/us, and for some dumb reason I've been sitting on them and never posted them. Apologies to all, especially rxwookie!! I think they're all pretty nice!!

These will not permanently replace your standard boot animations/sounds AND requires the GeeWiz kernel to work (as far as a I know). As far as I know GeeWiz is still the only Kernel that has my "Animation Chooser" service in it, but others may have used it and/or rolled their own method for adding a new animation sanim.zip to /system/media and have it usurp the stock graphics.

would be really helpful .

thanks mate !!
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
Boot Animations

Okay, so here are the screenshots of the Custom Boot Animations.

1.) BIOS to Galaxy S

- BIOS Screen - This intro screen (bios01.jpg) slowly adds the information you see on the screenshot (bios02.jog) just like a computer booting. You will notice that "GeeWiz" is the custom ROM loaded near the bottom. This screen takes approximately 4 seconds to load.

- Galaxy S Screen (s01.jpg, s02.jpg, s03.jpg) - The S logo in the middle fills up with green and then white in an infinite loop

2.) BIOS to DROID (my favorite)

Note: This is a big download due to graphical quality and number of frames in the the final loop screen

- BIOS Screen - This intro screen (bios01.jpg) slowly adds the information you see on the screenshot (bios02.jog) just like a computer booting. You will notice that "GeeWiz" is the custom ROM loaded near the bottom. This screen takes approximately 4 seconds to load.

- DROID (droid01.jpg, droid02.jpg) - The DROID logo slowly comes into focus using a fractal effect. It fades out and the loop is repeated until boot.

3.) GOT ROOT

- Standard Droid Logo (GotRoot01.jpg) asks the question... Got Root? along with a standard Linux prompt ($). It types the letters "su" and the entire logo swirls (GotRoot02.jpg) and ends up with a SuperUser Logo along with the elevated Linux prompt (#) with the words "I Do..."

- The infinite loop keeps the final screen and just flashes a cursor.

A big THANK YOU to DJ for hosting these and making them available for download.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25193560&postcount=755

Hope you guys enjoy.

P.S. Some interesting things about the BIOS screen boot animation...

:cool:

- It was built from the ground up specifically for this phone and this ROM... meaning I did not use any other custom animation BIOS screen as my template.

- The process of initialization should (roughly) match what is actually happening in your phone

- It has a Samsung logo with a Droid incorporated into it at the top

- The specs should be correct for (or very close to) specifically the Fascinate

- The process of getting into recovery mode (and download mode) is located at the bottom of the phone. I actually found out later that many Fascinates won't go into download mode unless you hold volume down and plug in the micro USB at the top... oh well, nothing is perfect!

- The animation consists of 110 frames lasting about 4 seconds (which is the fastest my phone has ever went to the lockscreen from a cold boot)
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
Thanks for the Extras...

<<< happy camper <<<

:D
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
@ rxwookie : i flashed the

2.) BIOS to DROID animation - its indeed awesome , But before the droid can be seen the phone completely boots so , the only time the awesome droid animation can noticed is when we wipe dalvik

I was thinking if you can ( If possible ) remove the bios screen and let the phone boot with the bootup tune alond with the droid animation only.

regards

@ DJ : there are 2 things i would like to share ( i hope I am allowed )

1.. the GB accurate battery at superclean thread workd perfectly with all versions of GEEWIZ , if people want they can use that as well

2.. The aosp lockscreen at the sam,e thread is also totally compatible with all versions of GEEWIZ

I have two fassies on my personal i use GEEWIZ and on Wife's fascinate its always SC or resurrection :)
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
Fractal Droid Loop Boot Animation

Not a problem. I actually planned on releasing something like this already to the general public... but wanted the GeeWiz guys and gals to get first crack at it.

You'll find the droid animation (continuously) looping (fractal --> clear --> fade) attached to this post. Install via flashable zip using the GeeWiz recovery.

Optionally: Manually install the sanim.zip file (located in the archive under system-->media) in the following folder... /system/media/ ... You will need to mount the volume as R/W to copy the sanim.zip file in there.

Hope you enjoy!
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
BIOS ONLY Boot Animation

And for those interested... here is a boot animation that sticks with the BIOS screen until the phone boots. I added a little rolling set of dots that will help you know that your phone hasn't hung during boot. (Update: slowed down the dots a little!)

To me, a static screen until boot gets kind of eerie after you've just flashed something new.

Same installation as above... Install via flashable zip using the GeeWiz recovery.

Optionally: Manually install the sanim.zip file (located in the archive under system-->media) in the following folder... /system/media/ ... You will need to mount the volume as R/W to copy the sanim.zip file in there.

Enjoy.

awesome !!!

where were you hidin up until now man !!

Our geewiz would get more spicy now :)

k .. one more thing :P Hope you wont mind :)

Is it possible for you to may be get us a couple of new lockscreens ?

I saw in the kitchen and there was an option of making 4 actually in there :)

would love to have a rotary one ( coz i am already using the first one )

if we GEEWizians can get hold of a couple of great lockscreens , i guess we ll peak ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
I wish I knew how to make lockscreens... but I'm not versed in that. Sorry!

Maybe someone else here can do it.

On second thought... If you can point me to the right toolkit, I'll certainly give it a go though.

--------

Off this topic addendum...

If you create a folder on your SD Card named...

.androidupdate

(include the period at the beginning) and put your updates there... Your update folder with GeeWiz will always be at the top when flashing.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I'm actually in GeeWiz withdrawl already - lol. So much so that I'm readying a minor update (2.8.1) even though I said I was done (I know - wtf, right?)

I got excited when I was able to "fix" bluetooth audio thanks to Zong00's post in the Q&A section. It sounds so much better I just can't help myself but to download the latest Maps and Google Drive and pack it all together for y'all.

I will look into lockscreens. If I recall, it's a pretty big pain to add them and have them work right ("work right" is very important to me, I hate bugs). That said, I've gotten to be pretty OK at this stuff, so maybe it won't be so daunting anymore.

Right now my phone is going completely haywire, probably from testing/running the "wifi only" thing I posted a page or two back. After I activated it again it won't stop vibrating every couple seconds and it's selecting random wallpapers. Extremely peculiar, but I guess that's why they made ODIN. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
GeeWiz SYSTEM (ROM) 2.8.1 has been uploaded.

Yes, I said "no more". For now, I've removed the "end of life" message from the main post, apparently I just can't give it up! LOL. I'm still not planning anything major here, so for now let's call this semi-dead with only minor .x updates to keep the things that are already there up to date? My wife is so going to kill me ...

GeeWiz 2.8.1 SYSTEM/ROM

- Updated Google Maps to v6.5.1

- Updated Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) to v1.0.77

- Applied bluetooth A2DP audio enhancements from CyanogenMod (Zong00/CyanogenMod)
​
[Fascinate Android Development] rxwookie:
I just hope this ROM keeps getting updated as often as you can. But if not, my phone will be with me for many more months to come with the latest GeeWiz iteration. I'm actually well past the point of an upgrade, but I just can't seem to move away from my Fascinate now that it is nearly perfect (at least for me).

See... here's what I want in a phone --> No extra crap that I didn't ask for, no frivolous services running in the background, and stuff that I can not uninstall.

In the end, my phone will remain a GeeWiz phone until I either decide to retire it (most likely) or I find another ROM that is truly a step forward... which is unlikely given the lifecycle of technology these days (but SuperClean is pretty sweet).

At the time of retiring from service, I'm very likely going to apply the WiFi only patch and give it to my kids to play with (albeit with a very locked down Google Play Store!)

Call me a fanboy or any other name you want, that's fine. And I'm not bashing any other ROM because I think there are some

amazing

features on other ROMs that I've tried out... it's just that in the end, plain and simple is what I like.

So... Thank you for the minor update!

P.S. You know, you could always keep on revising the WiFi only patch so it will be even better!
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
lockscreens are a real pita on sgs 1 phones...you ll need to add the resources into framework-res, and the files into android.policy as well as mod keyguard or phonewindowmanager (depending on how you do it) and potentially framework.jar (again depending how you do it)

you can add them into settings to control them, though its easier to use a control app like tsm parts

the main issue with lockscreens though? hot boots

after a year + of dealing with the issues in tsm parts and through talking with roman/hawk who use similar code in the old edt tweaks/tweaks/rom control on the vibrant, and then tmo sgs2....the conclusion was reached that the best you can do is minimize the hot boots through changing heap size...but at some point they ll just hit ya

withere2's mod to just add optional aosp lockscreen into lockscreen chooser (rather than have it replace samsung's lockscreen) on tweakstock pre 2.0 is probably ur best for some options w/ limited accompanying issues
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
well if the Great N :) says then i suggest there is no point wasting time on lockscreens, DJ :) leave it mate and TBH TSM has actually spoiled us for choices :)

they have so many of them on fascinates Roms that its just too great :)

nyways : just the one thing that has surprisingly started to bug me afterall is the vanishing act of the screen lock ;) LOL it just goes away and you ll have to reboot actually to get the lock screen back ;) happens once in 2 or 3 days but it does happen !! btw i am using the aosp lockscreen from SC thread ;) it works great :)
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Well, at minimum I could work on moving the AOSP lock from the EI20 ROM in, with luck that won't cause too much grief. I still have the source where I re-enabled Puzzle Lock on EI20, so in theory it might not be that bad. But I agree, if Nitsuj17 says it's hard .. it is likely prohibitively so for me :( I certainly don't want to intentionally add something that would cause hot boot issues, not really my style. *Unintentional* issues are another topic entirely (and my work is replete with them from time to time!)

Also, I would like to go on record with everyone that apparently *I* am the absolute best way to predict a pending Google Maps update. EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME I update the base ROM, Google tosses a new Maps out there within 48 hours. It's both amazing and very frustrating to me.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
When my phone retires I will probably turn back from ICS. AOSP lockscreen would be nice to have over the other two options

Service Announcement: I have to reformat my laptop to put Windows on it for about 2 weeks. Not that I was really doing much other than trying to fix the audio skip in Bluetooth, which I can still do from a VM, but if anything cool comes up just be advised I won't be doing anything with it right away.

Also, the Wifi-Only patch posted a page or two back does work, but ... 1) GPS doesn't work right unless you manage to turn airplane mode off before you fire it up, which is a task I made a bit difficult. Any third-party app that can enable/disable airplane mode probably still works. 2) I had some serious bad juju coming back to the regular ROM after using that and ultimately just ODIN-ed the device to stop the weirdness. I had been back and forth a couple times before it went wonky so it may not be commonplace or a result of me screwing around with it incessantly :)

Oh and a minor #3 ... if you wipe data, Google Maps will usually FC on first boot since it has some bug that requires an active data connection. Turn on Wifi, fire up Google Maps or Nav or Places, reboot ... should be OK after that.

I will probably be bored where I'm going so I'll still be checking in.

PS - I absolutely hate the new CyanogenMod logo :D Thanks for the bumps, but it's OK to let the thread slip a page or two, let's give the whole spotlight to the guys working with ICS for a while!
