Thanks Chub - I was really missing a % battery so will give these a look.

I will have to do a write up - but honestly, I find semaphore to be great. Stupid things - loading the phone (these are phones right ;) ) took about 5-7 seconds on stock, almost instant with semaphore. I did reflash after a thorough cleaning last night, I'm at about 90% battery after about 3 hours with light usage. I liked Semaphore (2.4.0 GB) on Darkys so stuck with that. Also on KC1 modem (modem doesn't seem as good as KC1 for GB but could be ROM or kernel related). Minor really.

I actually had not seen a 'stock plus' version - have a link for that? My assumption is I'm on 4.2.

Battery life for me is OK - was having random shut downs - worst one was yesterday (had to pull the battery to get the phone back - and it still had 40% battery so that wasn't the reason behind a shut down) - hoping after a clean and re-install of the kernel that resolves. It did NOT shut off last night, but also had it on AC all night to charge while sleeping.
[Fascinate General] chubster7383:
JPM, here's the link for the stockplus version. http://ics.samsung-updates.com/ICSI9000/

Quickly looking at the changelog, there's some extra apps added compared to the original Onecosmic.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Kewl - I'll take a look, if its just extra apps I will likely pass (which is good - my flashitis is bad enough as it is LOL)

BTW - I highly recommend Nova Launcher for ICS (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389071) - if you like stock but miss some eye candy and functionality of a GO, LPP or ADW - this is a wonderful launcher (read the instructions to move it the system directory - shouldn't be an issue for any of the folks on this thread)

EDIT : Also, after recharging last night and flashing the kernel clean as well as reflashing the semaphore kernel, I am now at 87% battery with light to moderate usage (I'm always checking email, etc) after 5 hours 37 minutes. That is better than I was getting on Darky's which usually kicks butt on battery. :)
[Fascinate General] chubster7383:
Wow! JPM, you're right, Semaphore does really fly especially when booting up. Will stick with this kernel.

Anyone know of a way to filter songs in the Music player? It's picking up small files from the navi directory on my sdcard. The MIUI music player had a size filter to solve this but I haven't found a solution yet. Adding a .nomedia file in the directory didn't solve it. Looking at installing the MIUI music app but not sure if it's compatible.

Found a fix: the .nomedia file does work but you need to do more than just rebooting to force a rescan.

Go to manage apps -> all: search for app "media storage" tap on it and clear data then reboot. after rebooting give your device some time to scan all the media on your device.

No. I'be never flashed just a bootloader...so I'm way paranoid..the phones running fine on cna with glitch and I'm thinking if its not broke....has anyone ever successfully flashed a gb loader who can attest..I just see bricks (and dead people)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I have only flashed full ROMs - if I wanted GB loaders, I would likely load Darky's 10.2 RE which I *think* has the GB loaders - while not stock, they would work (I think).

That is something I would try. I would hope that a usb jig would still work if you pooched the loaders, but I would proceed with a lot of reading and caution first.

As you point out - that thread is full of folks that have been bricked.

the cna build from daxinfinity is awesome.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1485734

running 1.4.0 with glitch b3 and am super impressed. i switched from icsgs and havent looked back since..before that i was trying a new one almost daily ..yes i have issues..and ever since leaving miui for ics. the dax port is the only one that comes even close to the quality and smoothness.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Are you running that on a T959D? What rom did you come from going to that?

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] d88888b:
I am on t959d..one of my buddies also flashed the same. I have a spare unit on stock rom and tried to flash the same to try flashing the bootloader, but it errored out with the build prop check.. On my daily device its identified as an i9000 so im guessing thats the cause. The only thing different with the 2 of us on ics was we flashed miui (whichever from miui.us) first and then moved over to ics..not on purpose but before the ics prots were out miui kicked everything out of the water. Im thinking flashing darkys as suggested would fix that problem since its an i9000 rom and honestly i ahve no idea how to change the build.prop but it cant be that hard to figure out..definitely worth the trouble the cna is killer (sorry team sgsics..i couldnt live without a top bar battery)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Well MIUI is an I9000 ROM too (I ran that myself up to 12.30). That should have been OK I think.

Does the external SD card work? I see that in the latest threads as an issue. I have to look into a bit - the customizations look killer though. I still have to let this version soak a bit as I've been flashing way too much as of late.

Still, like to have those extra customizable features lol
[Fascinate General] d88888b:
external sd for me has not been an issue at all despite the comments. I held off but seems just fine. its nice to have the extended settings tools built in..and with the updated glitch b4.1 its flying.. im suprised that the device is still as relevant as it is ..i havent even seen another new device that really makes me want to switch

[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Sorry - what are you trying to do? I'm getting lost, seems like you are flashing every 10 minutes LOL .... maybe I'm just jealous ;)
[Fascinate General] chubster7383:
I found the same thing, couldn't get into recovery using the 3 button combo while running Darky 10.2 RE. Had to boot into recovery via the extended menu, flash to MIUI and then flash to Onecosmic's ICS. Flashing ICS from Darky's resulted in a boot loop with some text scrolling by which was too fast to read.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Wacky - so in coming from MIUI on the reboot option in ICS - do you have the ability to boot to DOWNLOAD mode?
[Fascinate General] d88888b:
Same here..no boot loops tho. Was able to flash cna no problem after darky . It fixed the kernel splash issue but no more reboot options in the rom and can't get download mode anymore...recovery combo works tho.. I've seen a lot about the gb bootloaders having troubles..others are asking about bootloaders in the icy glitch thread so maybe we'll get an answer there?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
There's always the jig.

I want to try that CNA when I have time - looks like a nice marriage between ICS and MIUI (I LOVED MIUI) - just need the time, and right now this ICS version is behaving very nicely with battery, smoothness (using nova launcher).
[Fascinate General] chubster7383:
I haven't tried actually since using a jig is so much easier. I did try getting into recovery using the 3 button combo and can't.

Anyone try the Slim ICS rom? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488096

Looks like another interesting ICS rom, made by a Canuck too!
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I haven't but looks somewhat like SURFACE ROM in that its lightweight, uses zeam, etc.

I'm more of a bloat (ha!) love my eye candy and nice display - right now have android pro widgets running along with widgetsoid and beautiful widgets for the super clock. Love Nova Launcher.

I do want to try that CNA one if only for the lockscreen customizations - which is also on the one I found - those two look pretty similar actually (minus the unicorn).
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Had the mysterious shut down last night... Might have to reflash.

It's pretty intermittent actually. So last night, I was down under 20% battery when I went to bed, phone was fine when I woke up on charger. Wacky.

I did wipe cache and dalvik yesterday, as well, went to Release 1 of Nova Launcher and bought Nova Prime. Still recommending that launcher for ICS - Google should buy that and just roll it right into their AOSP.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Well i hope that problem goes away, that's an inconvenience! I had to get nova just cuz of the review you gave it, and I have to say I'm impressed as well with it, very smooth and quick.

[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Got to give it a break for tonight. No go man, followed the steps to a tee (twice). Once in CWM from Miui, did a factory reset, and both caches. Installed the same FuguMod kernel you used, selected 'reboot into recovery' which I figured would boot me into the fugumod kernel's CWM but all it does is stay on the fugumod I9000 boot screen. Left it for 15 minutes just to make sure but no go. I'm probably going to try a few other combo installs tomorrow at some point.

Question, what kernel were you using when first booting into CWM to start the install process? I'm using the latest glitch kernel for telus, also coming from Miui 1.11.25.

I'm glad a few of you have it up and running on the T959D, gives me hope :)

Ill get it eventually.. Obviously missing something here.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Thanks man, I've gotten it to a black screen more then a few times, longest I let it sit there was probably 10 - 15 minutes.

Pretty sure I've tried this combination all ready but I will give it another shot tomorrow.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
I was running the glitch kernel as well. I wonder if it has to do with the version of mini? I was only on 1.11.18. Also I started from alpha 6 then went to 7 then bata 1. I wish you luck and I am sure you will get it.

[Fascinate General] havoksupertwit:
went from the latest version of miui.us (forgot the version number) and the latest glitch kernel... the alphas prior to 7 didn't boot for me...but alpha7 and beta1 booted...

so bizarre that yours isn't flashing... using the regular fugu kernel and the I9000 rom (not the I9000B)...
[Fascinate General] Headbang3r:
Can any1 please provide info on how to procede from stock 2.3.4 on the telus 959D fascinate?

I onl ymanaged to root it, but seem unable to find a proper procedure to install CWM and THEN the ICS beta.

thanks in advance
[Fascinate General] chubster7383:
I was able to install Beta1 last night following bucky's instructions and files linked in his post. Did the wipes, installed the kernel first then the rom, rebooted and was greeted with the boot animation. Did not need to install the kernel again or do anything further, root was enabled.

Started from MintBerry 1.11.25 with the Neo18 kernel.

One problem I found was there was no way to get rid of the haptic feedback. Unchecked all sound related options in settings->sound but it was still there when entering text. Writing an email, it would vibrate when I hit a letter. This drove me crazy.

Decided I like Miui better and will wait until a more stable release comes out. This is where the fun started as I did something stupid and messed up the bootloader and the phone was stuck at the Samsung logo. Luckily, I was able to still put it in download mode and flashed Darky's 10.2 RE via ODIN. It was the only rom I could find that wasn't located on a free download site which are all blocked at my work.

I'll run Darky's for a day or so just to try it out.

Well I got ICS running this morning but it's not the ROM from:

[DEV] ICS port for I9000/I9000B - BETA (ICS sources) - work in progress

i installed supposedly the future 'CM9' ROM created by developers from CyanogenMod:

[ROM][ICS][ITL41D] teamhacksung's ICS Port for Galaxy S (BUILD 3)

No issues installing it from MIUI 1.11.25 right from recovery, I was surprised. I must say that ICS is quite the piece of work! :D :D :D

As like usual with the CM7 (Gingerbread based) ROM, the stock kernel they use does not have a working 'Home' and 'Search' button. With CM7 though, all you have to do is flash the Telus Glitch kernel to fix that. Unfortunately there are no custom kernels yet for there CM9 ROM.

I have no problems with WIFI or 3G and it already comes rooted. The installation process is just flashing the one ZIP.

i did end up flashing a new Baseband (I9000UGJK3) and it works perfectly with ICS.:)

I'll have to play around a little more with this before I report back more info.

I'll be keeping a close eye on both versions of the ICS ROM. :)

[Fascinate General] guric:
Lost root

I got beta 1 of FuguMod ICS installed yesterday and the phone portion doesn't work. Baseband Version says Unknown so does Network, Number, IMEI etc.

So I thought I'd get into recovery mode and install a radio, but can't get into recovery. Downloaded ROM Manager, but it keeps getting denied by SuperUser. Updated SuperUser but still can't get Rom Manager to reboot into recovery.

Thought maybe I lost root so tried to root again using SuperOneClick and it looks like it rooted, but still can't get into recovery using Rom Manager.

Any ideas how I can get into recovery to install beta 2 and get the radio working on TELUS Fascinate T959D with ICS 4.0.1?

Reverted back to DarkyRom 10.2 using Odin. Did factory & wipes. Flashed ICS Kernel & ROM then Kernel & ROM again. But now can't get out of Recovery. Just keeps rebooting into recovery mode. Tried 5 times now and same results. Even tried going to CM7 a couple of times then ICS but can't get out of recovery loop. Any suggestions?
[Fascinate General] guric:
Got out of recovery loop somehow finally, but now stuck at boot animation. It won't get passed it and start the OS. Also can't get into recovery mode without flashing Odin and start from beginning again. Wish there was an easy way to boot recovery on the TELUS Fascinate, but can't find a way
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Well just installed bata 2and all buttons are working and kind of digging the smaller icons!

Gonna get everything installed again and see if it gets any better.

For those wondering, I did factory reset, wipe cache and davlik then flashed the kernel. Boot to recovery do all the wipes again and flashed the ROM. Reboot to recovery and flash the kernel again (not sure if I needed to buy just in case.

I was getting a day out of the battery on the previous release so I hope I get that out of this one.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Hey Bucky - that sounds awesome, and have been enjoying your recaps.

Curious - with ICS and the introduction of softkeys - how problematic are the hard keys? Do they add any value or get in the way?

Have to watch totallydubbed's videos to see the screens - started that tonight - looks pretty sweet.

Also saw MIUI 4.0 is in dev now on the 4.0 ICS - but not seeing a lot of difference than maybe guts - will be interesting.

Glad you like - I think the 1.0 version is awesome. I paid for the prime to get gestures and a few more animations (yeah, I'm a sucker). Also nice is the top right corner in the app drawer, you can get to your apps, the market, etc. Nice touch.

Hoping this is the end of my issues. Going to run it into the ground tonight as I have a late hockey game.

ICS now out for the transformer - so likely shifting my focus there on android for a little bit - still haven't tried CNA and would like to, but its just working so well right now without even adding in any script level enhancements on my phone. :)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Hi folks

Just a quick update. So I have been on ICS for a week or so now, and have to say I'm totally happy. I did want to try CNA but with everything running smoothly I haven't had the heart to try a new ROM (Maybe in another week).

My current configuration is Onecosmic ICS 4.2, semaphore 0.9 and a 850 JL3 modem. No scripts or anything as the ROM is super fast.

I will start with the cons I have noticed:

- some lag going to phone on stock BUT semaphore solved that.

- Twitter contacts will not sync, BUT after some reading that is a twitter issue that they may or may not solve.

- Number for the carrier BUT Matt posted a fix to that in this thread that works awesomely.

- I had some random shut downs, but hoping after running a kernel clean and re-installing the kernel will settle that.

- The big contact picture on phone calls - still annoys me LOL

So no real cons as it were. In terms of pros:

- With Semaphore, and nova launcher the ROM is super responsive.

- No lag on anything - even stuff that was having lags on Darky's for me (angry birds Rio for example)

- Animations are great.

- battery life is as good as Darky's in my opinion and requires less 'bump' charges. Takes a few charges for it to 'soak' but I have no complaints with battery given my use.

- UI for email and gmail is much better, and email notifications are accurate now.

All in All loving this ROM with the addition of Nova Launcher (which I also have on my eee transformer now) :)

Fast, smooth, reliable - recommend folks trying this out if you wanted to try an ICS for your T959D :)

Another annoying aspect that we logged here is that double flick on rebooting which we think is an issue going from froyo boot loaders instead of gingerbread - just noting it but all in all, does not matter too much (the jig is still the easiest way to DL mode :)))
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Haxsync is awesome, definitely worth the $0.99, syncs hi-res pics from FB :)

I've been wanting to flash back to stock just so I can fix that issue, maybe I'll do it when they release another update. I kinda miss not seeing the kernel screen, especially since semaphore just updated their screen and it looks incredible (0.9.0).

You need to copy that file from your root partition to a folder you can access when you plug your phone in to your computer. I just used my tapatalk download folder and transferred it over.

[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I don't use root explorer but I do use ES explorer. In order to see the hidden directories, make sure your root explorer has root privileges (super user OKed it) as well, in ES you have to mount system as well (I think that is to directly edit).

I definitely had a similar problem with ES and it was that it was not getting root access so it was behaving like a normal file explorer to which those files are indeed hidden.

Maybe uninstall, reinstall directly from market?
