[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDODGE:
I would love HTC Sense on my fascniate too. I came from an incredible and I miss it but the screen on the fascinate is just to hard to give up. Once i installed launcherpro i realized I could make this phone do what I want.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallnerd1985:
Once we are able to compile a bootable kernel for our Fascinate and the 2.2 sourcecode becomes available, I will begin the porting of Sense with help of another dev who is doing the same thing for the Droid. But I will warn you, it will take awhile for it to happen due to the nature of Sense being so tightly integrated into the framework where the source code is not available.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanrc:
I'd love to see the new Sense Live Wallpaper.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingup:
yeah, i remember we tried for a good 3 months on the droid1 but never really fixed everything, and the project died out. Good luck, in my mind its not worth it at all.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallnerd1985:
Yeah, but I want to instead of just making a stripper ROM like everyone else and plus it will be fun. The biggest task is the Radio or RIL code because once that is done, everything will come naturally with patches. The good thing thou is we will be getting a lil help from the RIL master Vilord who originally made one for a WinMo port of Sense Android for the old HTC XV6900.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyotaku:
yeah im a huge fan of sense ui. I personally think stock android is bland looking. I love the speed of launcherpro.....but those fake sense ui widgets kill me.

the new sense ui is amazing people!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsquare2112:
I too love sense. I have the incredible now, my first sense phone, and I think it is the best phone I have ever had (Captivate, Droid X, Droid, Droid2, and allot more). I am considering returning it for the fascinate though, the screen is just too hard to type on with the incredible. The 4" fascinate screen should be just about perfect though. I am still leary after the horrible experience with the captivate on AT&T though. The fascinate has the best looking hardware out though. Would love to have the option to put sense on it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranova:
fake? they work just as well, supported, and constantly updated by the developer.

The only thing I would take from the *new* sense is that 3 second boot up time. The rest of sense is UGH.

I can say that Sense is GREAT for people who just want a simple phone, its straight forward. Whenever a casual phone user asks for a recommendation, I recommend them an HTC phone or the iPhone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Accord281:
I think the best bet is to use launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets. I imagine it won't be too long before someone makes a skin similar to the new sense look.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivorycruncher:
Samsung Fascinate + LauncherPro Plus + Beautiful Widgets = Epic Android awesomeness, no need for Sense UI. Note that I used to be a huge fan of Sense UI. It's just not worth it due to the ridiculous amount of system resources it takes. After loading a non-Sense (no pun intended) Froyo ROM on my Eris, and got a HUGE boost in battery life, I realized just how badly Sense UI was draining the system, and that's likely why the Incredible has such bad battery life too. And even before switching to Froyo, while still running stock Eclair with Sense, I switched to LauncherPro, and immediately got a boost in performance. You won't notice the lag on the Incredible, due to the fast processor, but I'm guessing it's still a CPU hog underneath, which drains the battery fast.

Funny how my last post got removed...haha dont tell me this forum is practicing censorship all because I have an opinion?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendbowden:
Mine was deleted also??? Hmm? I simply recomended a widget that replicates the Sense clock/weather widget. I didn't know that was a crime.

When was it posted? everything that was posted and uploaded around yesterday was deleted due to a failed xda system maintenance.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendbowden:
Okay. I didn't know that. The widget I suggested was Fancy Widget. It is identical to the HTC Sense clock/weather widget. This plus launcher pro plus does the trick for me.

Sent from my Fascinate.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
Yea lets get moto blur ported over too. Lol jk no on blur. But seriously I would donate for the hd on the fascinate, hell I would donate for vanilla froyo!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtype06:
Shameless bump. I'd love to see sense on my Fascinate. I've loved SenseUI for ever, just seems like the perfect configuration.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bgreen520:
A rather trivial but annoying problem. Hope someone can help me fix it..

Since returning from my holiday in France (I'm a UK user) my weather update (within the HTC clock widget) no longer updates or displays any weather (it just shows "my location" and nothing else - apart from the time). Any one else had this problem or know how to fix it ?

It worked fine in the UK before going on holiday and it also worked fine in France.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dpk:
Go into the weather app and refresh?
[Desire Themes and Apps] bgreen520:
Yeah tried all that, strange thing is the weather app works fine. Its just the weather within the HTC Clock that no longer works. Tried removing the widget and re-adding it, recycling the power on the handset etc.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dpk:
There is no weather showing? Try re-adding the clock, but choose a city instead of current location, and see what happens.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bgreen520:
I have also tried that. Nearest city to me is Brighton, use a city and it just shows the city name apposed to "my location", and no weather.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dpk:
I've never heard of that happening. The only other thing I can think of is to force close Sense, then restart it. Otherwise it could be a hard reset :/ but I would wait for other opinions.

Hope that helps.
[Desire Themes and Apps] rolfd:
Moving to Themes and Apps. You might get more help in there.
[Desire Themes and Apps] zHk3R:
Depending on how much knowledge you have about ADB:

1) Download the Android SDK

2) Extract the .zip to C:\

3) Rename the folder Android

4) Start the SDKsetup.exe

5) Download everything it prompts

(If it doesn't download "Force https.." under Settings).

Make sure the Android folder doesn't have a subfolder.

E.g: When you enter the Android folder, there are all the files.

Run CMD - Type cd C:\Android\tools

Type - adb devices (See your device attached?)

Type - adb remount (Read-write priveliges)

Type - adb pull system/app app

In your Android\tools folder there's now a folder called app:

6) Make a copy of the folder and call it newapp

7) Enter the folder and delete HTCsenseclock.apk (or whatever it's called)

8) Copy and paste this (or any other) HTCsenseclock.apk in the newapp folder

9) Go back to CMD

10) Type - adb push newapp system/app

- - - - - - -

By doing this you're putting a new HTC Sense Clock widget on your phone.

If you don't see your device attached you're missing some drivers. Download HTC Sync.

Trust me, this isn't hard at all. You don't have to be a techie to follow these steps. And who knows, it might fix your problem ;)
[Droid 2 General] Beeko:

Each time i flash to a new rom I have to use appbrain to sync all my apps. I have a co worker who has a nexus one and each time he flash's the rom the apps he had installed redownload from the google cloud.

I ran the rage exploit and afterwards, i can't get into adb shell. Gives me an error, device is not connected, but adb says it is

To further clarifiy, we were running the Sebastian Krahmer root process using the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin. After running the rage step, we ran into trouble because the device no longer connected.
[Droid X General] mortodestructo:
same thing happened to me. however, i restarted the phone and the computer, and then adb would see the device again. i didn't get the # prompt, so i had to run ./rage... again. surprisingly, the second time it worked like a charm.
[Droid X General] NegativeOne:
did you do kill-server?
[Droid X General] zsg1313:
had the same issue and can confirm the second time around worked no issues
[Droid X General] GulMiguel:
I had a similar experience, however, part of it has to do with having the proper USB drivers and then to that same end, once it does it's first go round, there is a point where you truly have to wait for the phone to show back up in the taskbar before proceeding - otherwise, the next time you are attempting to do the "adb devices" it doesn't recognize that there's a phone there...it's all a matter of waiting for the USB driver to bring the phone back "into existence" from there, you are well on your way to the # prompt. (Trust me on this, I'm a total NOOB and just did this for the first time using the step-by-step method. I was scared as s**t with each command I typed but I was determined to go on...once I saw the #, I knew I was out of the woods..
[Droid X General] Steebs77:
Stuck big time!!

I'm stuck. I can't get PC Mode to show up with debugging icon (even though debugging icon shows up in all other modes) yet adb devices shows my device correctly, and I can adb shell to it fine and end up with unrooted on 2.2 froyo at the $ after I updated to OTA 2.2 from rooted 2.1

so I follow the guide to the T but as you can see this is my results and I have not yet been able to fix the issue.

I have no idea how to fix this issue, I've rooted before on the leaked 2.2 without any problems both via the long adb method and via the easyroot method before OTA was released.

I tried the one click method and it hangs in the .bat and tries to pkil the process but there is no process to kill since the chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin didn't work and thus it can't load ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

%!~#$%~ Any help to get past this would be greatly appreciated! :) I would already have downgraded to 2.1 if I knew it was safe, but I'm seeing it bricks droid X staying at M logo on the forums if tried and thus we need a new sbf for 2.2 to be leaked.

EDIT: I've also tried via the Charge Only mode with debugging on as recommended by some people on the forums for other people stuck... I still end up with the same results using that mode. :/

EDIT 2: Looked up my default.prop and saw this:

and what it needs to be is:

Unfortunately I don't have a way of changing it. Already tried copying modifed to sdcard and then using adb to copy it over... unfortunately don't have the permissions!
[Droid X General] android_master:
what about benchmark test with the froyo update,how much it scores?
[Droid X General] darkonion:
Have you tried rebooting your phone?

How about this, go check out the original 25 step process to root the Droid 2. Instead of pushing rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin, rename it to something else and then run the exploit. Of course after making changes to the commands else where.
[Droid X General] NegativeOne:
My build.prop doesn't have either of those properties. That makes me wonder what you did that changed your build prop if you have no root.

You should have been upgrading from vanilla 2.1 to avoid problems.

I have a problem that my computer does not reconize adb after i download and extract all the zips files. it gives me adb not reconized as a command
[Droid X General] KidJoe:
ADB is an "external" command... i.e. its not native to windows. So you need to either be in, and stay in, the folder/directory where ADB.EXE resides to execute it, OR add that folder to the Windows PATH variable so windows knows where to find it to execute it.

and this was part of Brian's problem (in the OP) after talking with him via Gtalk.

if you want to add it to the path, then you need to do the following...

First you need to know the exact location of your ADB.EXE (for example: c:\android-sdk-windows\tools or c:\sdk\tools or ???)

he had Win7 but the steps are very similar in XP AFTER you know the folder/directory where ADB.EXE is. (tip, you can use Windows Search to find it, when found right click and select properties. On the general tab it will have the location).

Find where your ADB.EXE actually is. You need that for the following steps. Since I don't know where you unzipped to, lets say for the purpose of these steps, your ADB.EXE is located in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

In windows, right click computer... select properties...

click advanced system settings (from along the left)

click the environment variables button

from system variables at the bottom.. scroll down and highlight path

click the edit button

use the right arrow key on your keyboard to get to the end of the line (it should unselect everything, and still keep the text there..)

on the end of that line...

type the following....

;c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

(yes, you need the semi!! and that line should be exactly where your ADB.EXE really is... remember I'm only using c:\android-sdk-windows\tools as my example!!!)

click OK

and ok

after doing that, when you are at a command prompt, no matter what folder/directory you are in, if you type ADB it should recognize it and run it.

[Fascinate General] grpatter:
I'm having the same issue with "IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED".

I was rooted+lagfixed but went back to stock using the ODin restores, still getting the above. I've tried it with and w/o CWM enabled as well.

*EDIT*: I just want to note that the phone attempts to reboot and install the update, and I can see (VERY briefly) the recovery manager attempting to apply the update. In this, I was able to see 'signature verification failed' amongst the normal messages.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Hmm, if you're running the stock recovery, and stock everything else, and you see a "signature verification failed" error, then the downloaded patch must be corrupt. I'm guessing you might need to delete the downloaded files and force it to redownload the patch, but I have no idea how to do that.

On a side note, I just applied the official patch to my rooted and lag-fixed Fascinate yesterday, by temporarily reverting to stock, and re-rooting afterward. I posted the steps I took to do this over in the development forum, for those that are interested: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792652

Any help with this...

I was rooted with lag fix and OTA installed unannounced. So I lost root as expected. Meanwhile, seems I have the update but each reboot brings the update screen back, over and over again. Baseband and build number are updated. I have rerooted, un-lag fixed. Trying to get this update to stop showing up because its KILLING my battery. Thanks for any help.

If your Fascinate (unrooted, cannot speak to rooted phones) will not take the update, AFAIK your only option seems to be the 30 day return policy at Verizon. Last week after over two hours in the store they finally swapped, but even that phone would not take the update. I went in today, got a new phone, and it took the DI01 update. Third times the charm.

Hey guys, I bought the 3000mAh Cameron Sino battery on ebay for £12.50 and I love it! been using it for almost a week now and got nothing but good words for it. I got twice as much usage compared to the original battery. I am a power user and in 15hours I still got around 60% juice left, when the original battery usually had gone 0. Sure it's thicker and heavier but I prefer to have a thicker and heavier phone than a dead one! I can play with the phone as much as I want now and use those lovely live wallpapers! :-) And I actually have a much better grip of the phone now. One minor gripe though is that the new battery cover causes the photos to have a dark grey colour on the corners like a pin hole effect. This is not the case for videos though.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhoenixFx:
I charge the phone daily and sometimes once again midday if I run low while at work. Even though battery life is really poor, it has not been much of a problem for me yet. Since usually I'm always near a power source (home, work and Car). I also have a spare which I take if I think I'll be away from a power source for long. But so far I have not even once used the spare, because when I'm out (over the weekends or generally out with friends etc..) I don't use the phone as much. So it works out for me perfectly. ;). I don't have 20 home screen widgets pulling lot of crap off the net, have the Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth radios off unless I'm navigating. So the battery lasts when I'm not using it.

Here is a video of another extended battery (Mugen Power 3200mAh) for those who are interested in seeing how it looks on the phone (seek to 0:50). Personally I wouldn't buy anything like that, its too bulky and makes the phone look really ugly , YUCK !.

[YOUTUBE]iTJRyVjBw-g[/YOUTUBE]

EDIT :

Now something like this on the other hand is more attractive than using an ugly extended battery. It gives you more power when needed, but don't have to have it always installed. Probably a better idea than carrying an extended battery (except for the size), since you don't have to switch off the phone and swap batteries , just plug this thing in when your battery is low :).
