I was using voltage control BUT after close inspection I noticed the processor would not step down to the lower speeds for some reason. I no longer have it set to OC anymore but go nuts and let us know how you make out. Oh and set cpu will work too.

BATTERY UPDATE

So my testing went a little sideways. I ran all day yesterday with sync on and toggled WIFI when it was in range. Still do not have maps installed and I figured I would try a gapps package but that did not put maps back on the phone.

MY RESULTS

Phone lasted from 7 am yesterday until about 12:30 pm today! Android OS is still the top battery drainer but to get more then 24 hours out of it I aint gonna complain.

I am thinking about flashing over to the other release but not too sure if I will. Anyone else out there using this rom chime in and let us know what works and what does not for you.

[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Cool thanks! What values/governor did you use in the app?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
-25 from 800 to 1.2 and -50 for the rest. Like I said it did not work so can't say what would be best
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Cool thx. just flashed the new beta 2.5.1, I'd advise on not doing that yet. Whole bunch of issues, no home or search button anymore, no ringtones, no cell (not sure if this could be fixed by reflashing the kernel?) So I just went back to an old backup for the time being. But I have to say it definitely seemed faster for the short amount of time I used it, ram consumption was wayyy lower.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Thanks for the heads up. I seen it and downloaded but haven't flashed yet. I will be doing that tomorrow to see if I get the same result (I am sure I will)
[Fascinate General] havoksupertwit:
flashed the 2.5.1 and then used the ics_betaa2_fugu_mod-1900kernel_derteufel.zip kernel and it worked just peachy keen.

usb and storage work...home and search work...no known issues yet?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
I was thinking the kernel would work. When I flashed I still get fc on storage and media when connected to USB? Not sure what's going on but working on it lol.
[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
2.5.1 looks good so far on my phone. The only issue so far is it takes a few minutes to connect to Telus, otherwise good. :D
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Try settings storage does it work for you?
[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
Yup. Settings/storage opens
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Hmmm well I got the 2.5.5 and it is working now. I might end up flashing back from stock again to see if that helps but not right now. One other question did you factory reset before you flashed or no?
[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
Always. I did lose the "Boot in recovery" function - it's there but doesn't go into recovery. :(
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Well its been a long day but here is the outcome....

I flashed back to stock and formatted the SD card to make sure there was nothing left over from previous flashing. I flashed voodoo kernel through ODIN then went straight to the Beta 2 ROM. At this point I could not get into the storage settings or connect to the PC without crashing. I flashed 2.5.1 and the issues continued. From here I installed the 2.5.5 ROM that was posted to resolve the issues. At this point I could get into settings and connection to the PC was fine.

Now for the good part ...

Off to the market I go to get all the apps again (I strongly believe in fresh install). I thought to myself, self try and download maps and see if that issue still exists. Maps installed with no issues and runs great. It seems that there was something from a previous flash that was causing maps to think it was no longer compatible.

So I am now on 2.5.5 with everything working again and no problems getting apps from the market!!

I need a life :eek:

[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
wow amazing, everything working, gps, home button all of it, amazing...so far. The only thing is, i cant seem to reduce lcd.density. Everytime i set it to 200 or 180 or even the more accepted 160, nothing really changes much except the keyboard gets about 3 rtimes larger than the screen meaning there is no way to type anything. Any help, i really hate 240DPI...
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
What are you using to change the DPI? Sorry I just realized that you can change the DPI but you will simply add space around the icons and such. I haven't looked into density yet but I will and let you know once my phone is back to the way it was lol
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
LCD Density Changer.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
OK just tried that myself and nope not working. You can change the dpi in build.prop but not sure if that is what you need.
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
that is what i want, but will it work properly?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
just did it. Open build.prop and edit the line "ro.sf.lcd_density=240". Change the 240 to 200 or whatever number then restart. worked for me:D
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
yea did it to 160..umm which is wayy too small, and apparently long-press home no longer works..wierd.
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
o wow..i just got the file b4 u removed the links etc. Damn. Anyways, the ONLY problem it has so far thats bad is 2 things actually:

1. (not so bad) Search crashes when you try to go to search settings.

2. (this one is kinda bad) Movie and Music is really wierd with the default stuff, lotta movies not playing even my mp3 files are not playing (some of them, i dont really see any pattern here).
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Sorry about that but the DEV's removed a lot of the files that were available due to the thread being hijacked by a few. As soon as I can confirm that the ROM can be installed with no issues with what is there I will re-post the how to.

As for your issues, I have not experienced that at all. I checked the search settings and they open fine. The music I can not say cause I do not use mine for listening to music but the music I have on there works OK.

What ROM did you flash?
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
Wow, see i *knew* it was smthg really stupid. So apparently when i restored my apps using TI after installing the thing, I restored the QS Box app from Gingerbread/Samsung. Which as you can tell did not go well. Damn. Anyways, i uninstalled that and the new cool looking one is now what comes up...it looks so cool btw. :)

If it helps I followed the instruction in the post right b4 u took it down using those exact files and it worked wonderfully.

The movie and music thing is apparently an issue, in reading around in the GN forums and people asking about alternative video players and so on.
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
GPS

BTW, is this tamhacksungs port or the other one, cuz i know there are two differnt ICS ports, and im kinda confused.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
This Is the onecosmic build. The other will cause the home and search to not work and there is no kernel out to fix it.

[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
DPI

Speaking of DPI what dpi do you guys use. I found that anything but the standard ones of 160 (and i guess 240) results in some rather interesting visual bugs, most of them are harmless and a bit funny, but the wierdest one is the "your getting a call" screen where the `slider' gets stuck almost at the bottom of the screen and i cannot see the 2 button on either side where i have to slide it to..ofc i can if i remembered right side is pick up, left is drop and up is text, i can still see the circle so i can slide it. But its wierd. anyone know a way to fix this?

and as i said before 160 dpi, results in some things (like long press home) to not work at all. Which seems like the oddest thing to happen upon change of dpi.

ETA: Little change, apparently 160dpi continues this bug, additionally i can kinda see the other buttons now, and the are a unlock and camera and none on top, instead of pick up, drop and text as supposed to be, but it works great, so no issues really, just curios as to if anyone else notice this?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Tip same thing. Goto the actual build thread and look for 2.5.5 that one fixes the incoming call screen

from the yummiest t959d on the planet
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
found the thread. So is there any difference in the kernel they put there and the files, or flashing the exact files they have on that thread would do? (this is waht is confusing me so far). Also what 2.5.5? Sorry for all the questions, just very confused.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
2.5.5 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20190574&postcount=5151

I would also suggest reading the thread from there. When out installed I did a full wipe (went as far as formatting the sd card and everything)

from the yummiest t959d on the planet
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
Helped a lot ty. If i have to do so much of the wiping, i'll wait till Beta3, supposedly prbly right before christmas or sometime during the holidays hopefully. It's not a big bug, just annoying (this works well, as I dont use my phone through the holidays at all). Hopefully onecosmic comes back.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
He will for sure. You don't have to wipe everything but I did because I flashed a lot of roms the last little while

from the yummiest t959d on the planet
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
Please note I spoke to DarkRedFlame on irc ##icsgs (supposedly the guy who realsed 2.5.5, and he noted that 2.5.5 is quite buggy, its a kang he made to "fix the call dialing" but broke a lot of **** "honestly, it should not be used" says he.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Works great for me

from the yummiest t959d on the planet
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
coool, hes getting ready to upload smthg new in a bit, so i'll wait and see. Timing is nice, i can do lotsa wiping n stuff after exams.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Its been about a week now running ICS, the 2.5.5 and I have to say I like it, much more than anything else I have used thus far. But the amount of time I get out of a battery charge is terrible. I've only been able to get at most 16 hours on a charge, most of which the phone isn't even being used. I've made a conscious point to always make sure all my running apps are closed when I'm done and everything yet I can't seen to get much more out of it. I think I'm gonna flash back to darkys as they just released a new jw1 (2.3.6) for the time being until they can sort out the bugs from this. I love the beta, but I think its too early for a daily use.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Beta 3 released! I have gone back to CM7 for the moment so will not be testing for a bit. If you try it give us a report as too how it works :)
[Fascinate General] TjPhysicist:
I know you took down the post that gives instructions, but which kernel did you end up linking to? Since I have to download it and install it again, i dont remember which kernel i installed.

[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
ICS install

Install ICS

So here are the full steps to get ICS running. I did a full format of the SD card to make sure everything would work. For a full change log and list of working and not working features please see the thread below

[ROM][ICS]Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3

1. Flash back to stock 2.2

Download package: Stock 2.2 (Includes ODIN)

Steps to complete:

1.1. Open ODIN and place the files in the proper sections.

s1_odin_20100512.pit in "PIT"

T959TLJL3-REV03-ALL-low-CL763100.tar.md5 in "PDA"

T959TLJL3_FROYO_Phone-CL763100.tar in "PHONE"

SGH-T959D-CSC-TLSJL3.tar.md5 in "CSC"

1.2. Start the phone in "Download" mode and connect to the computer. The first "ID:COM" box should turn yellow and show a numerical COM port. Make sure the "Repartition is checked" and Click "Start" and let it finish. Disconnect when the yellow box changes to green and says "PASS"

You are now back to stock 2.2 (FROYO). At this point I formatted the internal SD card from the settings menu to make sure the install was clean.

2. Flash ICS Beta

Things that you need

A. CWM 3.0.0.5 enabled kernel.

B. ICS RC1 ROM

C. Super User (root fix)

D. Glitch V14 pre2 Kernel (read the rest of the thread there are a few things to remember with this kernel)

2.1. Get those files download

2.2. Copy the ROM, Kernel and SU fix files to the SD card of the phone

2.3. Get into download mode and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition and phone efs clear!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar. Put the file in the PDA slot and click start. Once complete the phone will restart and you will see ODIN showing “PASS”

2.4. Unplug your USB and let the phone boot. Shutdown and reboot into recovery with three button method.

2.5. Select "wipe data/factory reset", "Wipe cache partition" and under advanced "Wipe Davlik cache"

2.6. In recovery select "Install zip from SD card" then "choose zip from SD card". Select the ICS ROM and install. After it completes reboot the device. If it does not boot do not panic it's fine. Pull the battery and boot to recovery again and select "wipe data/factory reset", "Wipe cache partition" and under advanced "Wipe Davlik cache" and flash the ROM again

2.7. Once complete select the reboot now and let the ROM boot. This might take 5 - 10 min. but you should be running ICS.

SHOULD BE RUNNING ICS!!!

3. Check for root privileges. If you do not have root, boot into recovery and flash the SU fix.

At this point you should have a working base ICS ROM. There are lots of apps that will show incompatible in the market which I am sure will get resolved soon.

These steps have been confirmed to work but I cannot guarantee anything.

If there are other issues I strongly recommend reading through the thread and checking for any updated kernel releases from here http://ics.samsung-updates.com/ICSI9000/

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you brick your phone or lose any data. Do this at your own risk
[Fascinate General] andi wangsadijaya:
So, that's mean I can't use this ROM into my SCH-i500 Fascinate (Verizon), right?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Not 100% positive, but pretty sure the i9000 do not work on your phone. As well, the folks here on this thread are explicitly using the T959D - so you'll want to find others with your phone, else risk bricking it.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:

It is so worth it, it is absolutely incredible! Everything works, and I mean everything. Now video recording works, and my phone is blazing fast. It has about 200 mbs of free RAM left, I have never seen that before.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Was that over cm7 or from stock?
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
I was gonna flash back to darkys but beta 3 came out before I had the chance. So I installed that, and then just updated to RC1 from there. Factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Install rom, reboot recovery, install again, install kernel fix, then reboot. There is no root, so I'm trying to figure out how to get that back right now.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Last post on the thread has root fix

Matt5606,

Does the Market work for you? I flashed RC1 last night and noticed two recurring problems:

1. Google Wallet kept stopping - no big deal but notifications kept popping up

2. every time I tried to download an app from the Market, the Market app crashed

NOTE: I did not reformat my internal SD card after going back to stock Froyo. Maybe that has something to do with my problems

I ended up going back to MIUI 1.11.25 since it's been rock solid. ICS was sweet for the short time I had it though. I'll try again when I have more time to play with it.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Nope, I've got absolutely no problems with market. For the last little while on the previous builds I was only while to download apps while on wifi, data would give me errors but they must have fixed it cuz even that works. More than likely though the factory rest should solve your problems. As for wallet, I don't have it installed. I don't think it came with rc1? I don't even know what the program does so I don't miss it lol

[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
It's far better than the beta3 i was running earlier in the week at someones suggestion. No names. lol

Waiting to see how the battery life pans out - seems good though. Definitely worthy of being called an RC. I liked the Nexus S wallpaper (X) which isn't available with this release, that's my only complaint. :)

OK one thing I have noticed is that every once in a while when I lock the phone it will not respond to unlock. I have to lock again and I get a faint green picture of the screen. Once this goes away I can unlock the phone and all is good.

I also had a couple instances where the phone would not respond to any input and I had to reboot to get it back.

5 hours in and already back here lol, Not a big issue but we will see what happens.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
I've encountered this as well. Usually I'll just leave it, and when the capacitive buttons blink I know I can unlock it. Like you said not a big deal but annoying at times.

Do you have any probs with your phone not displaying your service provider properly? On the lockscreen and pull down notification Telus shows up as numbers, 302220.

Running Cyanogenmod latest (can't remember exactly which one) i think the latest RC.

any ideas on how to fix this, it was very very random. The last app i updated on amazon appstore was the swiftkey keyboard, which hadn't been updateable for a while. When i went to check my keyboards I no longer had Swiftkey X and just the normal one.

[G2 and Desire Z General] rrrrr5r:
With stock ROM and all OTAs applied, my G2 picked up a strange behavior recently. It will play one specific music randomly. In most of the time it's triggered by my action (like unlock the phone), sometime it just starts playing even when the screen is shut.

I didn't root my phone and when the music plays, I can find two Music processes. The only way to turn of the music is to silence the phone or power off.

The behavior seems starts from a few days ago when I tried to temp root with Visionary v14. The temp root was failed and give nothing back.

Now I'm stuck. I can't get rid of the behavior. The only way in my mind is factory reset.

Any suggestion on fixing the problem will be appreciated.
