Thanks

I just did the update, but stuck with 10.1.2. All of my data and apps were there, but the play store will not connect???

re installed gapps with latest one more time and some (youtube, hangouts) gapps keep crashing....

Update.....playstore connects....will see what other apps do.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Weird. Are you using 4.2.2 gapps?
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Make sure you are using the 4.2.2 gapps
[Fascinate General] lastcall3:
I am using 20130606...which was marked as 4.2.2 so it should be fine.

Ended up with youtube and hangouts stopping so I just did an uninstall and reinstall of those two from the playstore and all seems to be fine.

Now that I am playing around I am considering trying CM10.2....but not sure if I should wait for a stable version or play around. Will keep watching for your valued updated information.

Thanks again!!
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Where did you get your gapps from? The latest gapps for 4.2.2 is 20130812. Try grabbing that one from the link in the cm thread and see if it helps
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Moose - how is 10.2 CM - been holding back. Starting to debate going to a N$ and running PA on it, but in between buying outright and another 2 year contract.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Buy it outright from Koodoo. $300 no term and it works on Telus without unlocking. After race season is done, I'm contemplating doing exactly this however I'm pretty clumsy and will probably make short work of dropping it and smashing the back out of it.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
I'm eligible to upgrade pretty much anytime now but I'm holding off because I might be getting a Z10 from work

If not I'm kind of leaning toward a S4 or N4
[Fascinate General] dgerryts:
I'm really digging the Note II. Devil Kernel and full VooDoo like access to the chip...... Honestly, the best phone I have had so far.....

Race season? (Sorry, might be off topic.....)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
LOL - I was wondering the same thing - what do you do Karma?

I just put in my 2 weeks notice today, starting a new gig in September - nervously excited, been with my existing company for almost a decade, so the change I'm hoping will be a good one.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Yep, 'race season'. Auto-x and open lapping mostly. Tires and fuel take up a lot of my expendable cash during the summer.

Here's a video from a lapping session a few weeks ago. I was on crappy all seasons because I didn't have enough time to find a decent competition tire before the event. Last run of the day and I went for a marathon session. Super tired at this point and I probably should have quit about half way through because of how sloppy i got but it was fun none the less.

[youtube]1ryl9A9yuFU[/youtube]
[Fascinate General] dgerryts:
Ha!

We probably know a lot of people in common. I spend most of my summer at CTMP, Calabogie (well, for this weekend), and Shannonville. CASC-OR road racing. I know how to drive, but I mostly crew.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Right on. I'm hoping to get up to Shannonville for a day before the end of the season. Just not sure if I'm going to be able to make that happen. Mosport (I refuse to call it CTMP....) is awesome but I don't have near enough motor to make it fun. Just a rolling pylon out of 5b. Hopefully not the case next year as I've got a new head/cam setup waiting to go on plus Megasquirt.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
[MENTION=1370138]karmatose[/MENTION] - your bad ass man! That was awesome!
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Thanks man. It's certainly a lot of fun. I highly recommend everyone try it (or at least go out as a passenger) once in their life.
[Fascinate General] dgerryts:
Agreed. It is an absolute blast.......Driving or riding....
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
So I have 4.3 running on my tablet now - still haven't upgraded my phone.

1) Can anyone comment on 4.3 CM 10.2?

2) How about Slim 4.3 Beta 2?

Just wondering - I've downloaded both, so I'm close to trying something ;)
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
JP

I've been running CM10.2 for a couple days now and i can say its running just as smooth as CM10.1 was. The only two issues i have noticed so far is that for some reason my Launcher will randomly switch from Nova back to the stock CM one for no reason. The other thing that i have noticed is that "Cell Standby" seems to be eating up a good chuck of my battery (around 20% or so) for some reason. Not sure why
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Thanks Moose - FYI _ i had that SAME issue with the launcher this morning on 4.2.2 so might be something odd, or something with recent nova updates. I may give this a whirl tonight or tomorrow.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
FWIW, there was a Nova Launcher update available yesterday. Maybe that will solve your problem?

Anyway, I have nothing to add. I'm still back on Slim 4.2.2 build 6 because I can't bring myself to set my stuff back up again.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
HAHAHA...ya that is the reason why i haven't upgraded my tablet to CM10.2 yet
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
trying 4.3 today.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Followed the instructions - flashed ROM (got an error 7 at first, second flash took), restored data from nandroid, rebooted - all was good (nothing lost).

Then flashed semaphore 3.1.0s, the new big mem fix (there is one for JB 4.3), and multi-DPI inverted playstore. Reboot.

Changed DPI to 182. Reboot.

Now setting up CyanDelta. :)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
[MENTION=4209744]moosehead11[/MENTION] - focal working with you? FC's on me every time - no biggie, I'll stick with camera, just curious :)
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Haven't really tried since they say there are still issues with it
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
have to say, tempted this week - the Nexus 4 is now 0$, so I just have to buy out my phone which is now 50$ .... still, November the *new* nexus comes out *sigh*.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Waiting to see what happens with Verizon coming here before i decide on next phone/term
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Good strategy - cell carriers are still trying to block that as far as I know.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Ya the big three are trying there hardest to stop it but i don't think its going to happen
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Boooooooo..... I'm better off buying it outright at Koodoo.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
LOL Karma (although not sure what the picture is). I"m sooooooo cheap. I could spend 300$, or nothing - as I will still need a contract so assuming I'd have that monthly cost regardless.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
That's the offer Telus is giving me on an N4 right now. I still have $176 to pay off on the T959D.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
ahhhhhh - yeah, for that, buying makes more sense for sure - I'm down to my final 4 months of this contract.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
JP...i'm surprised they aren't waiving your balance yet...i have about 4 months to go and they are waiving mine
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Off Topic - but play store dropped Nexus 4 costs by 100$ - 249$ now (199$ for 8GB).
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Well, just borked my my current flash so going to migrate to something else. How's CM10.2 treating anyone using it?
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Running pretty smooth here
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
+1 and I flash the nightly EVERY morning (CyanDelta).
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Oh yeah guys - in the OP I added the Big Mem fix for JB 4.3 (3rd post I think) - so that is there if you want to use Semaphore 3.1.0s with any JB 4.3 ROM (that's what I'm using with CM10.2).
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
And one shameless plug - if you are looking at saving some bucks to buy a new phone, you can save money on razors :) Join dollar Shave club - and if you use this link, I get some free razors out of it - help a brother out - http://ca.dollarshaveclub.com/ref/index/r/5yntx/7gwm0f/s/tx/cx/1/

:)
[Fascinate General] dgerryts:
Heh, I've been using them for a year already. :good:
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yeah, I'm pretty impressed - they're pretty good. I'm on the middle package (Lover's blade) and might shift to 'every other month delivery' as I'm still on my first cartridge - keeping the blades dry when not in use tends to extend the life. 7.50$, monthly (or every other month) delivery, can't complain. Want to try the shave butter though once that is available in Canada.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Chickened out and went CM10.1.2. I forgot how nice and fast a fresh flash can be.

Edit: not so keen on CyanogenMod. Prefer all the customization options in Slim.

Edit 2: Back on Slim 4.2.2.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
sounds like me on my vzw fascinate. i've stuck to Helly Bean but i kept going back and forth between cm10.1, aospa, stock 2.3.5 (oh god), gummy ics (that didn't end well, couldn't boot after changing a boot animation), flashed aokp jb 4.1.2 one time.

i'm a crack flasher :p
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
LOL. I hate flashing. Well, I don't hate flashing but i've grown tired of setting all my stuff back up. Been flashing ROMs on the regular since about 2006 when I got my Blue Angel and at this point I just want something that works. I'll probably stay on the flash I'm on now for a few months or until 4.3 ROMs get flawless.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
I feel you but I still find flashing really entertaining for some reason. I always have backups though.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I might give Paranoid android a try -- if I get the N4, that would be my ROM of choice on that device.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
PA on my fascinate was hella slow FYI
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yeah - I'm expecting the same - did a nandroid first ;)
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
Do you guys use i9000 kernels or do you have your own? I have a VZW fascinate so I use Devil Kernel (its what came with Hellybean)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I9000. There’s nothing really for the T959D past gingerbread.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
One more question: do you guys deal with editing APNs in i9000 ROMs?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Nope.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Well that didn't last long. Looks cool, but not as polished as Slim, or CM - so restored my nandroid and back to 10.2 nightlies for me.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
PA would be really useful on like a Note or GS4. In other words, a phone with a giant display. Not an OG Galaxy S (they all have the same screen size iirc, which is 4.0 inches)
[Fascinate General] hhp_211:
I like the hybrid engine dual display, but that is it's beauty, you can set any apps to whatever resolution you want,,, it just really lacks features
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I really didn't have the time to set everything up - really dig halo and pie, but those are better on larger screens (was using pie / lmt on my tablet, but got rid of it for GMD). Looks good though, likely would put that are slim on a new device.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45346414&postcount=657

Just a heads up for you guys running CM10.2 nightlies. Don't flash today's nightly.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
haven't seen any issues reported in the CM I9000 thread so far
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
May or may not be accurate (as I don't run CM10.2). Just going by what I've read. Better safe than restoring your nandroid backups.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Very true
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
CyanDelta didn't even pick up a change today - so I've been running the 09/05 daily.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
Whachyu got against Nandroid backups?
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
I've never had one restore properly so I have no faith in them.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Loaded up latest slim beta. Looking pretty awesome.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
JP...let me know if it runs any better then the 4.2 version
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
So far so good. I will try to post more today or tomorrow. Was going to get the N4 today but phone has new life.... Again.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
So I was getting a bit frustrated with my phone, and figured this was it. SlimBean just released a new beta, so figured I would try that. Flashing slim I:

1) Factory reset + cleared cache and dalvik (should have formatted /system but didn't - but no ill effects).

2) Flashed the ROM

3) Flashed GAPPS

Done.

So far, it is at the very least as stable as CM 10.2 was - but boots faster, and seems to run faster. I think you need the LMK script though to white list your keyboard and launcher.

Been using it all day, and haven't had too many ill effects (at least no more than CM10.2) and it runs a lot faster - so Moose, IMO -better than 4.2.2 Slim. At present I'm digging:

- TRDS again.

- small enhancements to the status bar

- general speed is better - and more options (no Slim Halo, but doubt we need or could handle that).

In terms of cons I noticed:

- no locks screen modifications (like expanded widgets) but that might come in the stable release.

- had 1 soft reboot, but I was taxing the phone at the time, so might be more a user error.

- not it comes with root disabled - if you want to add root (and I know you will) you need to enable it in the developer options.

That's about it - going to run for a few days, only thing left to set up really is my work exchange account.

Cheers for now!

Jeff.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
FWIW, I really like the last Slim 4.2.2 stable build. I haven't really had any issues with it at all.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Decided to give Paraniod Android a try...its interesting and a little frustrating to get it customized to the way i am used to things...but i'll give it a few days i think
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Found the lockscreen mods - under security - DOH! One less con :)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
SlimBean 4.3 should have a stable release today, been using it all week. Haven't had any more FC - and battery life has been good to great (once I shut off geolocation).

Have to say, kinda happy to be back on slim - haven't been this positive about this ROM since the ICS days of it (which I guess wasn't that long ago really LOL)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Crazy - so was shopping phones a bit this weekend. Have about 4 months left on my current contract with Telus. The N4 is 0$ and is considered a light phone (based on price only). They wouldn't move the buy back for me, but there is a plan for 55$ which seems pretty good to me and would be like 8$ cheaper than what I have now.

Now, if I look at a HTC One or even the SIII (which is also 0$) it is not a 'lite' phone - so I can't even replace my current phone with those unless I up to the minimum 70$ bill - so I either need to get a new plan, or add features to my current plan to up the cost (which is the better option with that phone as my current plan has things I can't get anymore).

So still rocking my fascinate for now - trying to figure if I'll just wait out the plan, buy outright from google and move on later, wait for the N5, etc etc etc.
[Fascinate General] Aory:
May I please get the username/password please?
[Fascinate General] Aory:
Thanks for the input on the pm, but I still need the username/password :D <3
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
It was in there, but re sent it.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
and bricked.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
you bricked your phone?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
LOL - well, not really. Was a larger problem with the first stable build for slimbean - lost recovery and phone stuck at semaphore logo. I flashed via odin a new semaphore kernel and all was right again.

SlimBean team corrected the issue now, so the new 4.3 build 1 stable should work fine. I'm going to reflash once I battery charge to 100% again.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
i wish i could flash i9000 roms, but we just now got nearly fully-functioning 4.3 ROMs. jt1134 (our CM maintainer) just wrote a bringup to 4.3 and apparently we're on a weekly build schedule for CM. and on the current ROMs, data works (thanks to bbelos who wrote a fix and it finally got merged into CM)

the only problem currently is that MMS doesn't work on 4.3 yet for us. freakin CDMA...
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yeah, the verizon fascinate is a completely different phone.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
and so are the ten other clones of it that are all CDMA phones (alltel/c spire/straight talk/generic showcase, uscc mez)

i feel bad for those guys cause they have to edit APNs to get data and MMS working, nobody makes ROMs for the Showcase or Mez anymore (actually there are cm10.1 builds for the mez) but showcase users flash vzw fascinate roms. i have a vzw fascinate so i don't have to edit APNs or anything.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yeah, we were lucky the ones that went to Telus - can't remember the other variants - the captivate on Rogers I think, Vibrant on Bell I think - lucky we're close enough to the I9000 to use those ROMs. Good learning experience though, makes me cautious with my next phone although the Canadian SIII and SIV are very well supported.
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
i think those guys can just flash captivatemtd roms and vibrantmtd roms. the captivate is pretty well-supported thanks to pawitp, i think the vibrant's the same story. they both have a pretty big userbase

the thing with the fascinate is, we have one expert guy who can fix stuff and releases cm, and we have like 4 other guys that don't fix stuff, they kang the CM tree and make other ROMs.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
It was pretty crappy for us - Glitch made a kernel for the T959D - and that was about it - but once we discovered I9000 ROMs worked - magical. :)
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
i wonder how you guys discovered i9000 ROMs worked. i can only imagine it happened like this:

<guy>: i want to brick my phone. i know i'll flash an i9000 rom that'll totally brick it

<guy 2>: yeah i hate telus i'll brick my phone and get an s3

2 hours later

<guy 2>: so did you brick it yet?

<guy>: nope. flashed cm7 and it worked perfectly.

<guy 2>: no way man

<guy>: i even made a phone call. got a job interview tomorrow but how do i brick this phone....
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
You know, not that far off. I think me and [MENTION=4128828]iwebsource[/MENTION] we're itching to try something once we couldn't root the new GB release from Samsung - chatted to enough people that we thought the DarkyROM odin recovery would work .... and it did. :)
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
it doesn't sound like the t959d community is very big lol. either that or you're just a popular guy from that community
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
LOL - no, not very big. A fe wof us have been around 2-3 years - lost some good people as they upgraded their phones too. I just collected the information and posted it here - we all kind of found each other as we're asking questions. Although, until Karma made his files username/pass only, didn't have a feel for how many people were out there lurking - there's a lot :)
[Fascinate General] skepticmisfit:
ah. i think i'll be around for more than a year, probably more than anyone will care about the fascinate. oh well
[Fascinate General] chbgs:
Can i get the username/password for the website?

password please.stuck on froyo after trying slim 4.3 today. thanks.
[Fascinate General] Aory:
does anyone have an unknown imei with the new build of slimbean?

edit: tried replacing the efs folder, deleting init.d folder. both didnt work
[Fascinate General] nereis:
Been running into this problem twice by now, resolved once by flashing a different radio and restoring efs, but it happened again after restoring apps/data from Titanium Backup. Not sure what went wrong here, but I did notice the SELinux status became permissive once this happened, maybe somewhat related?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
You should replace the EFS folder from the one you backed up - init.d shouldn't do anything, and ensure you flashed an ICS / JB Compatible modem.

Interesting, maybe you restored system somehow - but its not related to the SWLinux status - that will show permissive IF you use the version that came with slimbean as the devs turned it on - flash semaphore directly it will be off as Strats has it off by default.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Sorry. Just needed to bring down traffic to the server from stuff being hotlinked all over the web. Controlled access (with the worlds least secure l/p!!) seems to have done the job.

Anyway... It is neat to see how many people it helps. Loads of lurkers and I'm glad I can help them in some way.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
No Worries Karma - I think everyone gets that (my dropbox gets shut down periodically for the same reason) - just hadn't realized how many lurkers were out there until we started getting the requests :) Its a simple email, and no real effort on my end.

Running the official build1 now of Slim - very nice - does feel more stable than beta 5 to me - less tiny annoyances. Worth a try if you were thinking of upgrading.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Also looks like its recommended to flash CM10 first THEN slim - so I would flash CM 10 and an ICS modem if you went to 2.3.3. Then reboot, then boot back to recovery and flash SLIM + slimgapps.
[Fascinate General] Appetisaac:

[Fascinate General] x51_forever:
From you awesome guys way back in Feb we installed CM10 and i-9000 XXJVT baseband on this t959d. This originally Telus phone has worked well on Rogers and all across eastern and western Europe. However, now it is in Winnipeg Manitoba and struggling with an MTS ROM. Phone shows roaming on Rogers all the time and connectivity is real crap with an MTS sim installed. And, this is in Winnipeg all over. Should I install UGKG3 modem?

Oh, and we need the open sesame code to get into the files on karmatose.org . Pretty please.... ;)

Original install here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37951215&postcount=2164
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
You can try using a new modem but I don't see what that would have a difference. You may want to check that your APNs are correct.

As well, I don't know what an 'MTS ROM' is - what do you have installed, and what is an MTS sim - maybe there's some incompatibility there? Not sure.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
OK - is MTS for 4G? If so, maybe its just incompatible with our 3G+ phones - and maybe that's the issue.
[Fascinate General] x51_forever:
MTS is Manitoba Telephone Systems. They are the government owned phone system like Sasktel is in Saskatchewan. They have a roaming agreement with Rogers. The modem we have installed is supposedly optimized for 900 band not the 850 band here in Canada. We'll see if that fixes anything when we can get our schedules coordinated....

So to install the modem we just need to download it to the internal sd card then give the three fingered salute of turning the phone on with volume up and down pressed at the same time? Then flash from internal SD? Was thinking I needed to use Odin, but its been awhile....
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yep, flash in recovery.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Try xxjvt. The 900mhz modem, not the 850 one.

[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Yea... /sdcrad doesn't get touched even when you revert to gingerbread. You have to manually format it. Kind of nice.
