In addition to djjstew's comments;

The stock Launcher has "Pinch to enable expanded desktop" which hides the statusbar and activates the additional PIE features! Now if you don't want PIE, you can go to Settings/Pie Controls/Trigger area and set to None!

You can also activate this option by holding your power button as if you are going to reboot and tap on Full screen(Pie).

im still using stock... will try nova launcher if i still unable to completely hide it with stock launcher... at the moment my phone is fully loaded with apps so i'm avoiding to make it even slower... :D

thanks btw for the suggestion...

ok here is so for what i have done:

on power menu: expanded desktop = enable with status bar hidden

pie activated: trigger area = normal (default)

on launcher setting: pinch to enable expanded desktop checked

the status/notif bar was hidden in homescreen also in games... but problem is i still able to unhide it when i accidentally touch or drag on top of my screen... did this status/notif bar can really permanently hide within app or games..? or did I miss something on the setting..? did the setting require reboot...? sorry for all this noobs questions... hope i can find solution without adding more apps/launcher...

thanks notta for helping up and for this beautiful rom...

So it was a no go for a stock launcher... :( will try with nova launcher then...

Thanks again notta... Cant wait for latest build... :rolleyes:
[Fascinate Android Development] djjstew:
Sorry to say but the Nova toggle will do the same, just hide the notification but not actually turn it off - likely the same function under a different name.
[Fascinate Android Development] pahlevy:
But wasnt it need to be more 'technical' to unhide it... For example certain swipe or gesture other than only touching or dragging from top screen as stock launcher did...?
[Fascinate Android Development] djjstew:
I believe the toggle just hides the bar but it's still available with a swipe down. I will give it a try later sorry it's time to go to work
[Fascinate Android Development] djjstew:
I tested the Nova hide function and the notification bar is still available by swipe. But if you go I to full screen mode (power button) it seems to do what you want . You then have Pie activated rather than the Nav bar.
[Fascinate Android Development] pahlevy:
Still status/notif bar was accessible when i touch or swiping / dragging from top screen where it usually stays... Pls see the screenshot..

View attachment 2247280

I cant touch all top menu of the game... :(

Nove status/notif bar already hidden... Expanded desktop is activated... I'm not sure there is there anything else i can do to find the right setting... Or there will be no setting for that...

ROM is running great! TY so much!

I am running with Devil kernel 4.3 (ty all) with big mem. (get to big mem through Devil Kernel Manager).

Also get to more Performance choices using a relatively new App called Performance Control. This was/is part of AOKP ROM's until recently a few developers made it available as a stand alone apk. Using this on my S1 and N7 very nice app. Anyone interested here is the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2401988
[Fascinate Android Development] hhp_211:
sweet find on Performance Control !!

I been running the one from back in the aokp PUB days v1.0.4 which was great and I used it on all ROMs up through latest 4.2.2.

Also DevilTools.apk http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2276036 is one derteufel did for for some of his other ROMs,,, but it works very well with our fascinate...

just be aware like other Performance tweakers, some things do not work and can cause force closes, so YMMV !!

but Big mem settings do work and other major settings work and it has governor tweaks options, live OC (but I've not had luck on 4.2 ROMs with it), etc.

[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Have you tried changing the module path in "system/core/charger/Android.mk"?

For charger maybe something like...

- LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_ROOT_OUT)

+ LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(PRODUCT_OUT)/system/bin/

for the images

- LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $$(TARGET_ROOT_OUT)/res/images/charger

+ LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(PRODUCT_OUT)/system/media/charger

Just moving the images should be enough to fit it!
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I thought of that already but I wanted to see how to move the charger android.mk to my device source. Maybe with an overlay ? fascinate/overlay/system/core/charger/android.mk . Would be nice to move charger out might be smarter and better now we could change our images on the spot :)
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Well one of the easiest ways to avoid any further coding and get you experimenting would be to add a prebuilt flag of some sort. Although it would still require you to modify the charger make but minimal.

system/core/charger/Android.mk

ifneq ($(BOARD_PROVIDE_CHARGER),true)

# Original contents

endif

Declare it in pac_fascinatemtd.mk for example

# Board provides own charger
BOARD_PROVIDE_CHARGER ?= true

And lastly copy the system/core/charger to device/samsung/fascinatemtd/charger or aries-common! Modify away!

Easily activated when wanted! :good:

Data issues with current version 0924 build - ignore for the moment could be my phone or the Devil 4.3 kernel:

- was important to turn off wifi first then turn on data and that worked fine in previous versions, not this one

With a little time on my hands watching the FB game:

- even with reboot data would sometimes come back sometimes not

- also tried battery pull same results, sometimes yes sometimes no

- recovery wipe cache and dalvik same result, sometimes yes sometimes no

- recovery wipe and install ROM always brings back data (at least two times it did)

Will try installing ROM without Devil to see if that has anything to do with it?
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Kernel has nothing to do with data this phone is CDMA 3g old technology Google changed telephony which is a framework . in your phone framework/telephony.jar. Ril is SamsungExynos I believe. Issue is Google can care less about it and so can cm. Gsm and 4g lte is the thing. Google changed its code around and things changed hint data issues . No one has fixed it nor seem to care. But there are other 3g/4g phones with exact issue its not device specific its CDMA phones that use 3g and/or 4g wimax . As stated above gsm and 4g lte work

I remember a reference to 9/17 build being solid data wise...

I don't think that pertains to me but I could be wrong. I think they just didn't want unofficial officially supported builds if that makes sense.

In other words don't mess with PA's nexus family. :D

As long as I have been doing PA builds I would think if something changed from what was originally told to me, they would do so, hopefully...

so the stock keyboard kept FC'ing, but flashing the Google Keyboard module from PA's gapps seemed to work fine.. in other words, AOSP keyboard is no go

also the back softkey on the phone didn't work 9 times out of 10 without doing that

so far so good though
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
Can someone please explain to me how to complete step 1, "Update Recovery"? I thought 4.4 needed TWRP 2.6.3.1 for SELinux support, but the TWRP website shows 2.3 as being the latest version for the Fascinate. Is it the same build of TWRP, just a different version number? Or do I need to use CWM or OpenKang recovery?

Thanks,

wws12
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
the version of TWRP on the website is incompatible with anything newer than CM9.. i actually flashed it on cm10.1 and got an unrecoverable bootloop.. had to start all over from stock. not a fun day.

sad stories aside, you need to flash hhp's 4.4 kernel before flashing any 4.4 ROM which is located in the guide in the cm11 thread.
[Fascinate Android Development] lightningdude:
You know, I've been seeing this for a few days now, and figured I'd finally share my findings. If you don't want to have an extra file to flash (which, I know, is just a minor inconvenience), What ended up working for me is flashing the 4.4 rom, and once it errors out, go ahead and reboot recovery and flash again. Doing that on two of the CM11 roms, I've ended up successful. Since it tries, then says that it couldn't complete all of it, I figured it'd at least gotten a little, and in my experimentation, I've been okay.

I know the kernel flash works fine, but this just reminded me of switching partition layout, it would need to reboot the device to continue flashing. If you're used to it, it's no big deal flashing it twice.
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
RESOLVED:

ok so to get rid of transparency and add the optimized code for low ram, you need to manually edit build.prop using whatever file manager you want

go to system and open build.prop

add "ro.config.low_ram=true" and reboot

no more transparent status bar but this does not break the GEL so you can still get to google now by swiping to the left
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
Should I flash this ROM or the Unofficial CM11 ROM? I bought this phone for my sister for Xmas so I need to know which would be better for her. She needs the best combination of battery life, performance, and features as close to AOSP 4.4.2 as possible.
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
okay so i think my fassy seriously hates 4.3/4.4. my recovery seems to get screwed up and then i have /cache mount errors. either im doing something wrong or my phone hates it
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
this is good. it is 4.4.2-based and really stable.

make sure you manually edit build.prop (using CM file manager or whatever) and add: "ro.config.low_ram=true", then reboot. makes things smoother also DON'T ENABLE ART

lol i just flashed cm9 an hour ago. i may come back to PA one day but i really like glitch kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
Hey thanks for the reply. So the basic process is, flash the 4.4 kernel zip in stock recovery from the CM11 thread, wipe system, flash the ROM and Gapps ,wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reboot?

I'll make sure to add that low_ram line in build.prop.

Thanks,

[Fascinate Android Development] cell2011:
Does the Cappy have this rom too or close too it?
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
you'd have to look at the Captivate forum. this is the Fascinate, same phone, different radios, and possibly internal hardware.
[Fascinate Android Development] skepticmisfit:
I'd recommend flashing official cm10.1 first, and from its CWM, flash the 4.4 kernel and then your ROM and Gapps
[Fascinate Android Development] wws12:
Ok, but why can't I just flash the kernel from stock? Is it due to the fact that I'm writing to recovery when I'm already in recovery? I want TWRP, not CWM.

Also, should I update to the latest OTA for the Fascinate before attempting any of this?
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
Personally, I prefer CWM over TWRP, lol. but that's just me. I guess I was spoiled when I had my Note 2.
[Fascinate Android Development] hhp_211:
Short answer. Stock Samsung stuff is proprietary and uses bml partitioning.

CM/AOSP, Etc.(now almost always) use an open source mtd.

You have to preform the right steps and files to get it to switch over properly
