Yes section 4 will get you to a 4.x.x ROM,,, then flash the twrp kk zip, then your kk ROM of choice, with what ever instructions the rom thread recommends.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Does anyone else on the 12/16 have the 3G data/wifi issue return. Or did i just get a funky flash?
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
Ok I plan to flash the latest stock ROM before following Section 4 of the guide, substituting the latest PA ROM for the ROM in the guide.

Thanks for your help!

wws12
[Fascinate Android Development] hhp_211:
It won't work that way.

This is proper [just did to check again and confirm],, --* = 2 small exceptions that may or may not matter too much it seems

Semi abbreviated version. Follow along with section 4 for clarification.

1. Odin to Stock, boot completely

2. Flash 'CWM4 fixed for CM7' with Odin

---* 3. odin flash GBBootloader.tar

4. Boot into CWM and flash a 4.2 rom

5. After you flash the 4.2 rom, boot into recovery and flash the 4.4 kernel zip

6. Reboot Recovery, you should be in TWRP now

7. Flash CM11/K.K./PA alone and Boot ROM

---* 8. Reboot into Recovery flash the proper gapps alone. Do not flash them together

9. Reboot system
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
I don't understand why I'm flashing a 4.2 ROM, because I want 4.4 KitKat. Why can't I just follow Section 4 to the letter, making sure to flash the 4.4 kernel zip in CWM and wiping system, cache, and dalvik before flashing the PA ROM/Gapps? Sorry, but I'm new to this device.
[Fascinate Android Development] A-L31:
on 16th build. 3G or data won't come back after wifi. you have to disable data first before connect to wifi.
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
Because you have to have something that properly converts Samsung BML to the MTD partition layout, like cm10.1, which is flashed through the cwm FIXED for CM7 recovery. After flashing cm10.1 and booting it up (dat cyanogenmod boot animation though) then you flash kitkat.

Understand that we're using somewhat old partition code and that the guy who wrote them (jt1134) is gone
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
OK, thanks for the explination. One more thing, should I wipe system or data before flashing PA and after cm10.1?
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Update!

Some things got reverted and my scripts handle the majority of the merging so I didn't notice. Some exceptions were put in place and the fascinate will use it's own telephony branch now. I won't touch it unless I need too... :D

Other then that really nothing new. Fresh sources and some bluetooth reverts.

yeah, lol. lost the damned thing at school. it sucks, but oh well. I'm definitely looking into picking up a S3 for cheap on ebay actually. I can't wait to find one that's cheap! lol. Especially since it seems like development for the s3 hasn't died yet! Plus I know a bunch of devs for the s3 (verizon).
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
I'd personally prefer the s3 as a daily driver, its not a giant brick
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
i definitely loved my note 2 though. I'd go with a S4, but I don't want another locked bootloader
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
I feel you. That's why I like this phone so much, the bootloader is unlocked, and there's ICS for it (I have some personal issues with JB and newer) which I can't say about every phone. And I'm not upgrading for probably a while, this phone isn't showing its age for me
[Fascinate Android Development] A-L31:
S4 google edition? :cyclops:
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
i wish! or an HTC one GE, but unfortunately the GE phones don't work on Verizon (or at least last that I checked they didn't). I'd love to pick up a S4 GE/HTC one GE though, I think that'd be super freakin' rad!
[Fascinate Android Development] ThaSik1:
No APN Selected error

Love the Rom and it runs pretty smoothly, only issue I have is trying to send MMS. I get an error of "No APN selected" and have tried all the google'd means of fixing it to no avail. Most people list other roms having the APN settings under Mobile Networks but that option isn't listed in this rom. Is there any way it can be added in the next few builds since Google took out Voice Dialer and there's virtually no way to access the APN settings as is without ripping apart the rom, so to speak? Thanks in advance and please don't take this as a complaint, just sucks not being able to send pics since we have to pay for that feature on CSpire :(
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
have you tried the ROM Konverter tool that some guy on RootzWiki made?here you go if you haven't tried it

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

i'd personally get a One and then flash a GPe ROM.. that'd be pretty cool, and there's 4.4.2 GPe ROMs for the One out at the moment (nothing against my fassy but i just like seeing what's going on on other phones)
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
Oh I personally agree. I'd love to pick up a HTC One, but I don't have that money to throw out. Hell, I had my Note 2 since April/May so I'm not up for an upgrade till the beginning of 2015.
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
man i hope you don't get stuck with the fassy for that long.. i think i'm going to just because of weird personal reasons (i don't want to have this phone for that long but i'm off contract and my parents are on a contract and they don't want to get me a new phone)
[Fascinate Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I am on C Spire and I have the exact same problem. I flashed UDev's CM11 rom after using Rom Konverter and I kept getting the same message. I went back to CM10 and haven't found a fix for it yet
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
yeah, i paid $300 on contract to upgrade to the Note 2; plus I lost my unlimited data. I can tell you that I miss 4G though. 3G definitely sucks compared to it.
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
never had 4g personally but both my parents have new samsung devices (note 2 and s4) and 4G is quick, super quick

oh btw the note 2 is a nice phone, even for skinned ****ty samsung crap
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
now the 4.3 TW isn't so bad, never had the S4. I do miss the bigger screen of the Note 2 though. When I first initially switched to the fassy it was definitely hard to switch.
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
nobody can get used to a 5" screen and then go to a 4" screen like nothing... hell i used a tablet for three hours (buggy ass cm10.2 and then my parents wanted it and it kept crashing) and felt weird going back on my phone..

but my tablet was **** anyway.. never get a nook tablet, or anything from B&N if you want a real tablet.. those are e-reader garbage for filthy casuals
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
I have the a500, Tegra2, 1GB RAM and 10.1 in. It's running 4.3 right now, running it well actually, but I don't like the huge feel of the 10.1. I think I'd rather go with 7 or 8.
[Fascinate Android Development] ThaSik1:
Yeah I ran it through that program initially to get all the xml's correct for aesthetic reasons/whatnot but the apns are still giving me issues. I've checked them in system/etc and they show up as accurate in the editor but don't seem to stick for usage sadly. The scenario would also occur in cm10 or so and you would have to manually enter the apn settings to actually enable the toggle beside the custom apn. I think our only option is to have APN settings added under Mobile Networks like some other 4.4.x roms :p
[Fascinate Android Development] puterdoc:
I had issues with the last version, but the current version (Dec17) works for me using Go SMS Pro after RomKonverter from Fassy to Ntelos. Prior version didn't send SMS from any app for me. Had to use Go SMS since 4.1 with my carrier and RomKonverter with one exception. Before this I used DU 4.3 and didn't have to use RomKonverter. It actually errored if I tried. Never asked why just was happy about it. May be Go SMS is worth a try. You will need the manula settings for your carrier though.
[Fascinate Android Development] ThaSik1:
Appreciate the help! Will give it a shot and see how it goes haha
[Fascinate Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I reset apn's back to default and then manually added mms from C Spire and I haven't gotten the error back yet....
[Fascinate Android Development] ThaSik1:
You mind sharing how you did that exactly cuz I couldn't find a way to touch anything involving apn's besides the apns.xml in system/etc?
[Fascinate Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
You can try it two different ways:

If you have Voice Dialer installed, you can open it up and say "Open APNs" (make sure you are in a quiet place) and it will take you to apn settings. Most of the time the dialer can't understand what I am saying so I use this as a last resort. (I have not tested this on kitkat)

You can also download Launcher Pro. After you install Launcher Pro, long press on the home screen and add a "shortcut". When it asks you to specify the shortcut, choose Activities-->Settings-->APNs. This will place a shortcut to APN settings on your home screen. Open it up, set your apn's and when you are done you can revert back to whatever launcher you choose. I am sure that some of the more popular Launchers have this ability such as Nova or Apex, but Launcher Pro is the only one I have used. If anyone else knows of a quicker way to access APN settings I hope they will share

Hope this helps
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Update!

Again not a whole lot happening... Quiet hours: disable volume sounds if active, UMS/MTP/PTP switcher, fix Apollo ANR(may not have affected you), ART should be good but not well tested and some more minor stuff.

http://goo.im/devs/notta/roms/fascinatemtd
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Ouch! Someones probably happy then... :eek:

The S4 is pretty decent. TW 4.3 I can say it sucks on the S3 or at least verizons. Lol my wifes phone is lagging a bit and occasionally when someone calls her camera light flashes on for a second. Way to go verizon. And they waited if I remember as well!

Jeez I guess I'm just quoting you. Didn't mean it that way but I had comments to these. lol

[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
d'awww.. good old sammy and big red not optimizing anything! you should build PA or some other ROM and put it on your wife's phone
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
the only problem with that is if it's locked or not. if it's an s4 it came locked and not able to be unlocked at this moment. if it's the s3, then hopefully it's not locked and that's easily accessible at the moment.
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
but i thought all the s3's on vzw had locked bootloaders
[Fascinate Android Development] ThaSik1:
Attempted both ways initially (mentioned it in previous posts) too no avail. Though I used nova launcher to try and access the shortcut but it wasn't available. I thought you were speaking from experience with the newest version lol I appreciate the help tho and will stick to using the GoSms route until we get APN settings or something. Thanks for all your help everyone!
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
Technically yes, but thanks to Adam Outler they've been hacked and made available to flash custom roms because of custom recovery. same thing happened with the Note 2 on Verizon.

EDIT: you know I was just thinking about 4.4 on the fassy and the laggyness. would it be possible to make either the /data or /system bigger within the LVM to account for a bigger (maybe cause I'm not sure which partition is "bigger" per se) system/data?

Also, I have another idea of a different recovery besides CWM/TWRP for either 4.2+, but isn't the recovery partition too small for kit kat?

sorry I'm just rambling ideas here at 04:41, lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] ObeyTheNoob:
Art booted! It took a while. Ill look out for some misbehavior :thumbup:
[Fascinate Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I've had ART enabled for a while, I don't really see any difference in performance when compared to it being turned off. I did however, have a problem with Titanium backup. The version I had was not compatible with ART and had to revert back.
[Fascinate Android Development] ObeyTheNoob:
Well for me i turned it off. It made my phone run so slow and laggy.
[Fascinate Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I experienced severe lag also when I had it running

APN Editor

Here is a flashable zip that adds an APN Editor to Settings. Settings is also heavily optimised. Does this solve your issue? I've never had to messed with my apn's. :cool:

http://goo.im/devs/notta/extras/pa_fascinatemtd-APN_EDITOR.zip
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
I do build PA for the S3 and mine but she keeps hers stock. Probably better that way anyway, might get tired of all her wants... :laugh:

Mines not locked... muhahaha

I actually felt like it made things a bit smoother, after it settled of course. I obviously don't play with the fascinate much though. Usually a minute or two after I flash a new ROM. Well more then that cause that fassy takes awhile to boot and developer like things are a bit tedious after sitting on good hardware. :cool:
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
don't tell me you picked up the developer edition? or did you pick up the GE s4? either way I'm jelly sir!
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
Hey guys, I am having a real problem installing PA. I odined to stock, flashed cwm4 fixed for cm7, rebooted into CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik, and flashed the 4.4 kernel. When I reboot system to get me into TWRP, TWRP cannot mount data or system and further wipes and flashes fail. If I try flashing directly in CWM, I get a status 0 error message. What am I doing wrong? I was able to get CM10.1 installed and functioning, but as soon as I flash the kernel zip, data and system refuse to be written to. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I am currently on stock EH03. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] A-L31:
install 4.2.2 rom first before you flash 4.4 kernel. btw you can flash 4.4 if you are in 4.3 directly :silly:
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
I downloaded the official nightly from Cm's site and flashed it. After it flashes, it reboots into a version of CWM 6. I choose reboot system and let it boot.When I reboot to CWM 4 and flash there kernel, that's when I start getting can't mount cache can't mount data errors. If I install the kernel and reboot SYSTEM, (reboot recovery dumps me back into CWM 4), I can't install anything. Please help!
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Dev edition. :good:

I also have an UPDATE today but I haven't been able to really do much testing. It seems the bluetooth changes came back then went away again. So far I have not encountered any issues.

The changes include, Email for CM, statusbar date/time actions, Lockscreen see through fixes, wifi related fixes, APN Editor and Dark Paranoid which is SlimRoms TRDS.

Have a GREAT Holiday everybody! :)

Ok, got it sorted out. Her'es what I did in case anyone is having trouble.

1. Odin to stock EH03, boot completely.

2. Flash cwm4fixed for cm7 in odin.

3. From cwm4, flash CM10.1 nightly from get.cm

4. When CM10.1 "installs" and reboots to CWM 6, wipe data, cache, and dalvik & flash the kernel zip.

5. REBOOT RECOVERY IN CWM 6. (NOT REBOOT SYSTEM!)

6. Once you are in TWRP, wipe data, cache and dalvik again.

7. Flash the latest PA ROM from this thread. Wipe cache and dalvik afterwards.

8. Reboot system and let PA boot completely.

9. Once done, reboot back to TWRP and flash the latest Gapps, wiping cache and dalvik again.

10. Profit!

Thanks again for all the help, I couldn't have done it without you. Only thing left is to wrap it and put it under the tree. My sister will be thrilled!

[Fascinate Android Development] hhp_211:
Forgot tm had that option, i used the updated devil kernel manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metalignus.devilappsgs

to enable it. Had to do it twice before it worked, then took a few reboots to stick properly but it definitely seems to work well for me and speed up the entire ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
yeah, i literally use tm with every device I've owned/own. it makes it easier, plus has an awesome gui. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] hhp_211:
I had been using it on everything too [or performance control], up till about the 4.3.1 ROMs then I went searching for other tweaking apps/settings and kind of abandoned it for a while and with no devil kernel features in the KitKat roms and not using zram, for probably ever, it was taking me a bit to figure that one out :D

really am impressed with the ZRam turned on :good:

[Fascinate Android Development] Kaptinkrunk:
what steps are you going thro to install
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
If you can wipe data you will boot right back up! Also this is a bug that I believe was introduced from a cherry pick. The main stable build should be fine!

Best bet is to odin/heimdall cwm4 and give that a try!
[Fascinate Android Development] QuattroMechanic:
1: Back to stock eh03 w/pit file repartition. Boot then pull batt.

2: Odin cwr-all boot into cwr flash cwr4 fix no assert

3: reboot into cwr4 and wipe data

4: flash ROM. >>> bml/ ??? Then boot loops

I followed these steps on my phone and it worked perfect I also flashed gapps and cwr4 afterwards

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Also ive tried every jelly bean /ics ROM on here and it does the same thing. As soon as I flash either cwr for cm9 or any jb ROM it stops at bnl or bml and bootloops
[Fascinate Android Development] Sheradrax:
Sounds like you are forgetting to flash again. You need to flash it twice.

Never though jelly beans would be so tasty
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Your flashing way too many things as well!

Odin CWM4Fix

Boot to recovery

Flash PA zip

I believe it will reboot to updated recovery

Flash PA zip again!

See if that boots and if so proceed to recovery and finish flashing gapps and the like!
