I've tried every single ROM available for this phone. I have two Fascinates; one for testing, and one for daily use. I've found through flashing that this ROM tends to be more stable and responsive than the others. I'm not saying that one is better than the other, I'm simply more comfortable using this here as my daily driver. The truth is, it's developers like you that have kept users like myself on this phone for so long. I'm in no way trying to discourage you or anyone else. If anything, I'm extremely grateful for the time and effort you and our other devs have put in to keep the Fassy strong. I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) there's a single smartphone on XDA that has evolved and persisted in the way that our beloved Fascinate has, and we have you and the rest of our development community to praise. I apologize for sounding inconsiderate, it was not my intention.

That being said, DT GIVE ME NEW DEVIL STUFF! (please :angel: )

I have a kernel based of devil called lightning zap thanks to a dev Thomas raines it has more tweaks and a extra governor
[Fascinate Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Was working on updating the rom yesterday, today my pc died. :mad:

I hope to get it repaired soon, to finally update the rom again.
[Fascinate Android Development] puterdoc:
First thank you for all your work and effort. I love this rom. Others didn't move me at all. I have only been using it for a month or so and got me to play again. In the process I have had a few issues that have forced me go back to stock, which in turn has given me withdraws for all your rom provided. Only after reading and trying every setting I found to try, I decided to mention it here in case it is something that can be fixed in the rom, but think it has to do with my carrier.

Issues one is I can not send MMS, pictures. Where I thought it wasn't something I used enough to matter, I found I was wrong. I can receive, I can text, I can surf at 3G, but if I try to send a pic it tells me "Service not activated on network", most of the time or just won't send. I tried your newest fassy rom (4-26 and 4-24) with same results. I tried and continued to use the rom-Konverter as I am on ntelos, same results. I tried different APNs with no luck. BTW thanks for having the voice dialer already installed so I could get to the APNs. I researched the SMSC but had no luck with it. When I bring that menu up and hit refresh it stays blank, if that makes a difference being 3g is working. Otherwise I am at a loss. I have wiped everything on each reinstall attempt including going back to stock and starting over.

Issue two, it will drop cell signal completely on occasion like in airplane mode and will even mention to turn airplane mode off to make a call, yet it isn't on. A reboot solves the problem but it can happen and I won't notice it, missing stuff for however long it was off. I have played with the governor settings but did not test long enough before going back to stock to see if that was it. But the phone never locked up, just lost all cell signal.

Oh and a minor extra issue that others have mentioned, the voice mail notification doesn't work most of the time for me either. Tells me when I have missed a call but rarely when I have a voice mail. Would love if the icon lights at the bottom could be lit only one at a time (instead of all at once now for missed call), where one could be for voice mail, different one for messages, etc. Sorry, I didn't know if you took suggestions or even if that's possible.

Besides these issues I have had a blast with this. You have done a fantastic job. I so miss the features and look of 4.2.2 going back to 2.3.6 is painful. Even without overclocking things run faster and better on your rom. If these are problems specific to me and I have to suck it up I will make that decision, I just wanted to ask.

Am sorry your machine died. I wish you were closer as I end up with machines when my customers upgrade and I give most of them away after wiping them.

Thanks again for all your work.
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
Good to hear from you again, and I hope you can resolve the PC issue so you can get back to it... in the meantime the 4/26 build is still flying for me and is rock solid stable, so thank you for that. I had the S4 for a week and returned it mostly because I hate Touchwiz so much and honestly going back to this rom was so much better. I hope you will develop for the S4 some day so when I re-buy it I'll have something to look forward to!

Q

Does anyone else have trouble when trying to install this rom? I have installed this before and other ROMs but I find that this ROM is the hardest to install, constantly running into status 7 errors even when doing clean install. Am I missing a step or doing something I shouldn't?

My install process:

1) Odin install stock rom and atlas

2) Boot phone

3) Turn off phone install cwm4 for odin and GBBootloaders via odin

4) Boot recovery, wipe data/factory reset

5) wipe davlik

6) install rom.zip from sd

this seems to work for the other ROMs... :confused:

Second question: Does anyone use swap, does devil kernal still support it, and is it worth trying to set up??

I got hb installed yesterday, used devil recovery to make partitions, and then tried using swapper2 but I think I accidentally had it reformat my sd card because the system crashed and then would not boot.

Thanks in advance for any help :cool:
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
Never had any problems installing this rom, but then again I've never tried to do it after using Odin. Are you flashing back to stock every time you install a new rom? All you have to do is reboot into recovery, wipe 3, and install whatever new rom you like (as long as it's a jb rom). I would maybe install a CM10.1 nightly and then from its recovery install hb. Also, swap is useless, everything I've read about it says that it's not worth it at all. I don't have the links on hand but I'm sure some google searches could give you some insight. The way I run this rom is with lulz, row, and KSM with very good results.
[Fascinate Android Development] ulnevrwalkalone:
Installing CM nightly first then installing from CM's recovery worked, thanks! Good to be back on HB :good:

Just FYI: Installed CM nightly, didn't boot CM and went straight to recovery, factory reset (no wiping of cash or davlik) installed HB, wiped cache, installed gapps, reboot, Rock & Roll
[Fascinate Android Development] Jordanqkoch:
You just need to Odin the cwm blue, then flash hb in cwm. Sometimes it'll just install the hb recovery then flash the rom again in the hb cwm recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] ulnevrwalkalone:
If you look at my post before this one you will see that no, I could not just odin cwm blue and install Rom, I was getting status 7 errors everytime...
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
Check the MD5, you might want to try re-downloading the ROM.

Also, yes, I've set up a swap partition and use Swapper2 to manage it. To properly set up the partition you should use your PC, not your android device. Setting up these partitions will require you to format your SD card though, so be aware of that. I use a program called MiniPartition Wizard. Works like a charm.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jordanqkoch:
Yeah, sounds like an incomplete download to me. I've never gotten any errors flashing any rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Cool so cool I've been needing help with kernel development if you have any guides at all or any advice
[Fascinate Android Development] ulnevrwalkalone:
I keep getting mixed reviews when it comes to Swap, have you noticed a significant improvement by using swap?
[Fascinate Android Development] DerTeufel1980:

I mean I don't know much about how it works. I just want to get 4.2.2 on the Samsung exhilarate and I also wanted to change the charger images on the fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
I suggest you formulate a full, detailed question. As-is, you've posed such an open-ended inquiry someone could write you a dissertation in response and never actually answer what you're asking, and nobody is going to do that. Questions should not beget even more questions.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I was honestly in a rush I'm just a silly kid. Okay I need help pointing the fascinate to use the preferred charging images that I have. Where is the file that copies or creates those images? I'm not so bright when it comes to doing things myself. Your help is appreciated and I'm happy I finally spoken with you.
[Fascinate Android Development] puterdoc:
I wanted to give a status update to a previous issue. My MMS for Ntelos was not working. I could do everything else, text, receive pics, go online, no sending pics. After much research I found a file from yesteryear that had different APN settings then my working Gingerbread and anywhere else I found. They were buried deep in the tree.

My point first was to say this happened on all 4.2 roms so no blame to any dev. You guys are really great to do what you do making our devices live longer and function better than intended. I can do many things but being dyslexic, programming is not one of them.

Now it wouldn't be any fun if it was a perfect world and everything was fixed. All my pics come in as little postage stamp size, literally 8k and smaller. I know before I was able to modify the UAProf but can't see how to do this in 4.2.2. I tried an old MMS_fix and it said I was too old to work.

Thanks again. Any help would be appreciated.

[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
Sorry, boss. I downloaded it and it's pretty great

But is there a way to:

disable Quick Settings panel?

Add brightness slider to notification drawer?

Have a battery % without the tiny battery next to it?

The Real Dark doesn't affect the keyboard :(

8 Targets for lockscreen sliders?

Use either Devil kernel app with full functionality?

This is just a personal wishlist, but in no way contains deal breakers. :)

Very nice ROM! - 20130624-fascinatemtd - 1 quirk so far is ringtone only plays once?

Finally upgraded from a cm10.0 ROM to the recent "Hellybean-201306024-fascinatemtd" this morning. Read all 85 pages of this forum thread first seeking advice for best device settings and issues to resolve. I must say "Very very nice!" - thanks much for this excellent work! I still use my fascinate as my daily driver and have no plans of upgrading hardware in the near future...

My GPS works fine (for a fascinate that is), Bluetooth as well, no other "major" features seem non-functional. One quirk I have found though is when phone rings for an incoming call - it only plays the selected ringtone once and that's it. I use snippets of .mp3 files (in .mp3 format) for my ringtones (as I'm sure many others do) and have all Contact favorites assigned to individual ringtones. When they call - I get one (1) ring and not a looping of the ringtone as was the case in earlier 4.1.2 cm10.0 based ROMs. Do I have a setting wrong somewhere? Or is this a fixable bug? Anyone know of a fix for this? Did a clean install.

Voicemail notifications have never seemed to work quite right on custom ROM's for this phone in all of my testing but I don't really consider that major.

Keep up the excellent work! Hope to hear from someone else with a fix for the single ring issue that I am experiencing.

*UPDATE: Must the ringtone files be .ogg instead of .mp3 to loop play? *
[Fascinate Android Development] puterdoc:
I just tested the camera flash on mine and worked fine as well. I think I too had the half rings but when I did the latest clean install I used a stock ringer and haven't noticed the issue yet. Will test. The voice mail notification doesn't work on mine either but the call notification does. Other than one of my favorite apps, "Waze" closing, I love this Rom. Oh, and does anyone else have the small picture receive issue? I can send and receive all but the incoming are postage stamps.

Keep up the good work. I have been running this and the last version at the 1300 cpu with no lockups.

Thanks

[Fascinate Android Development] ulnevrwalkalone:
Have you considered using google voice for VM? I use it because I could not get page plus voicemail notifications, but google voice has an app that will notify you of new voicemessages, and if you use the widget you can read a transcript of the message without having to call your voicemail, which is nice. The only downside is you need to have data on so if you are only using wifi it could be an issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
Similarly, I use YouMail. You have to pay for the transcripts, but I like that you can set different greetings for different people (including unknown and blocked numbers) and it sends me an email when I get a VM, which is great because I get ZERO reception in my building.
[Fascinate Android Development] guffster:
Voicemail notifications...

Yes, I do use Google Voice for my mobile Voicemail and have for quite some time. I get emails and text messages whenever a voicemail is left on my mobile or GVoice number. It has been a great service and for now remains to be a free service from Google.

When I refer to the issue regarding voicemail notifications not working properly in recent custom ROM's I am referring to the small voicemail notification icon that appears in the statusbar indicating a voicemail is available/waiting. That small notification icon (line with small half circles on each end like an old phone) only shows up randomly and when it does it may indicate that I have any number of voicemails available - even those from several months ago. Some I may have listened to already and some I have not. It's just a little screwy but it is not really a big deal.

Thanks for you info though.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

Replying here to my own post with updated info regarding custom ringtones that will only play once and not loop as did in some ROM's < 4.2.*

It appears that .mp3 is no longer the way to go for custom ringtones if you want them to play more than one iteration. Instead the files should be in .ogg format (audacity is a nice converter, there are others that are also free). And not only that but the .ogg files need to have a custom tag added to them as indicated below:

name: ANDROID_LOOP

value: True

This allows the .ogg audio ringtone file to loop continually when playing while receiving a call instead of just playing once. This tag can be added to your .ogg files with WinAmp for Windows (and other apps) and there are numerous ways to do this in Linux from the cmdline.

For custom notification audio files I have converted all of my current .mp3 files to .ogg also and have either not added the ANDROID_LOOP tag, or I have and set it's value to False and they are working correctly. You may be able to continue to use your .mp3 files for the notifications since typically you only want them to play a single time.

I located my updated respective .ogg files on my fascinate 32gb microSD card in folders named "media\audio\ringtones" and "media\audio\notifications". Then did a reboot (or two or three). The phone eventually finds them and they become available for use.

Hellybean is rockin' on my phone now :cowboy:
[Fascinate Android Development] jlvlawrence:
I saw that the epic, galaxy s, and vibrant all got stable builds. Isn't the fascinate similar to those devices? Like I said, I was just asking out of curiosity.
[Fascinate Android Development] DerTeufel1980:

I've been getting the same status 7 error thing with all my rom. REALLY annoying!!! For some reason I have to flash so many different roms to get helly bean to work. Here is my weird process:

1) Odin install stock rom and atlas

2) Boot phone

3) Turn off phone install cwm4 for odin and GBBootloaders via odin

4) Boot recovery, wipe data/factory reset

5) wipe davlik

6) install this ROM

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36742-alpharom421-cyanogenmod-101-unofficial-for-samsung-fascinate-1216/

7) Reboot phone

8) Wipe phone and install cm-10-20120819-UNOFFICIAL-fascinatemtd.zip

9) Reboot phone

10) Wipe and install latest cm10.1

11) reboot

12) Wipe and Install Helly Bean

If I try to skip a step I get the status 7 and get stuck in recovery.

Any Ideas whats happening to me?
