I just tried the stock keyboard option and it did install it, but since it doesn't remove swype (I don't offer that option cause it can't be reinstalled if removed) you have to long press on a text field and choose input method, and it should let you choose between swype and android keyboard.

Youtube was added yesterday to the modify section, but I somehow forgot to add it to the build section. It's there now, thanks for the heads up.

Also if anybody tried installing the facebook sync earlier I had it linked wrong, that's fixed now as well and confirmed working, as long as you select the right options.

Retrokid: I'd be happy to. That will be my last update for a few days.

After that, it's break time. I'll start with updates and additions again on Monday. Enjoy your weekends and if you have any problems that need fixing before Monday I will still be checking here, and will help if I can, or several other frequent posters (I'm looking at you PhoenixPath =)) can fill in for me. It's been a week and a half solid, I've got a rom that does everything I want it to for me, and I need to not see any javascript or ADB for a few days.
[Fascinate Android Development] ekowanz:
+1 cant agree more... revo theme is great.

plus... can u provide the raw file of v1.2? i cant download via rom manager... it always said corrupted :((

im in indonesia...my mobile connection here is so bad :((
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
A'ight. Get some rest.

Guys, if you need help with this and for some reason I am not responding on the forums:

You can contact me via PM (I will be notified), or if it is after 6PM CST I am almost always on IRC (or at least have it open), and you can try to PM me there.

I'll do as much as I can to help ya out.

You should be able to download it directly from dropbox. The URL is the file-path in clockwork/downloads.

For 1.2 it is: HTTP://www.dropbox.com/u/12873751/blackhole_1.2.zip
[Fascinate Android Development] SteveC485:
OK, what is the deal with the Market? With jt's rom and now with yours, the Market uaually says "starting download" quits, and backs out of the download after a few seconds.

Thread on this @ Android Forums here:

http://androidforums.com/fascinate-...-only-says-starting-download-market-help.html

When I flashed Blackmod 1.2, the issue seemed to go away for a little while. I had a bunch of updates available and after updating three, the issue shows back up. I rebooted and updated another one (1), then back to stuck on starting download. I rebooted yet again, and the first one then is stuck at starting download. It stays there for hours if you are willing to wait it out too.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
To be honest, I have never had any of these market issues and have been using almost every ROM on this site, off and on again since Magic ROM was that shizz.

The only thing I can suggest, which is something I have worked into my default, "Steps to install a new rom" is to *always* clear data from the "checkin service" in Settings - Applications - Manage.

There are really just a few steps that I follow for *every* single ROM install that I do:

Wipe Data/Cache (in CWM and then in stock)

Install ROM

Wipe Davlik

Reboot

Enter google-account info, and then clear checkin data.

Since I don't use Voodoo anymore, the odin/nandroid/mbr issues have not been...issues. ;)

...it's the only way to be sure, man. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] ekowanz:
thx very much

i've the same issue... but its okay. Just cancel the download, and starting it again. It will work, at least it work for me
[Fascinate Android Development] Alexgsp:
ever since i did the 1.2 update, I am getting "force close" on the market app. Any one else having this issue? (sorry if this was posted already, didn't read through all 9 pages)

EDIT: did a data and cache wipe and it works again. just kinda suck i have to input all my info again...
[Fascinate Android Development] iTz Nicholas72:
I love this ROM. It's perfect since it only has what you want or need.
[Fascinate Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Amazing. Very innovative install process. Thank you so much
[Fascinate Android Development] aecky01:
I honestly used the search, but couldn't find any information about JT's non-voodoo kernels. Is there a link in these forums about them? I'm curious to see the difference between the stable and test kernels. Also are these kernels OC/UV?
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
They are available in rom manager. Latest is 11/11.
[Fascinate Android Development] aecky01:
Ahh thank you. I saw them on Rom Manager, but over looked the descriptions. On another note, has the jury finally made a verdict on Voodoo. I've been running it fine with Dirks 1100 OC/UV fine, but I do get random force closes every once in a while. Also disabling voodoo before any use of CWM is a bit of a pain in the butt. I don't no sure I see too much real world performance gains, so I'm debating if its worth having or not.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
This is not a "Verdict" by any means, just my personal opinion. Voodoo has always worked great for me, and on the stock phone it made a big difference. But running a clean ROM like mine or JT's with one of JT's latest nonvoodoo Kernels, I dont really see a difference anymore other than quadrant. I've been running various Blackhole builds for over a week and a half now, usually with jt's 11/2 stable nonvoodoo, and it's been very smooth, I really felt no need for voodoo as a lagfix. That's not to say it's a wrong choice, and i'll keep voodoo kernels as an option in Blackhole for those who want it for lagfix, colorfix, audiofix etc. (see the voodoo website for details if you don't know about the other components). It's really all up to person preference and individual device performance.
[Fascinate Android Development] aecky01:
Thanks guy. I took a break from modding my phone after a couple of nasty trips down ODIN lane. Just curious what the devs thought about some of these things. Also thanks for the ROM, it's the best combination of customization and ease of use I've seen so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thank you all so much for the encouragement. I really appreciate hearing your comments. If there is ever anything you'd like to see added to this rom please just let me know. I think in order to pace myself i'm going to start posting a weekly checklist on monday, and implementing everything (if i'm able to accomplish it) on friday, and use the weekend for cleanup if necessary.
[Fascinate Android Development] zachsx:
Awesome job, I am having one problem.. Facebook syncing... Just forecloses? any ideas?

Also This rom is the ****! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks for the compliment! As far as the syncing, just a few questions will help determine the issue:

1. What process is force closing (what it says on the FC window)

2. What Launcher are you using?

3. Which Calendar are you using?

4. Which Contacts are you using?
[Fascinate Android Development] zachsx:
Thanks!

Mesmorize (SP) lol
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Ok, the issue is that you have to have Touchwiz launcher installed as well. you can keep launcher pro as the default, but some of the sns processes call subroutines built into the touchwiz launcher. You can download it from the modify existing rom section and it will not delete launcherpro.
[Fascinate Android Development] zachsx:
I'll try that and report back, thank you sir, and again great work and thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
[Fascinate Android Development] zachsx:
Working Great THANKS!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
No problem. Glad it was an easy fix.
[Fascinate Android Development] blkhockeypro19:
Facebook SNS without Touchwiz

There must be some way to get facebook SNS back without Touchwiz. Other phones can sync facebook contacts without touchwiz. Maybe we can port it from another phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
it's probably possible honestly, but really it's not quite worth it since aosp will probably be done before I could figure it out. even now if you go into accounts and sync with the facebook app installed it gives you the option there, but clicking on it does nothing.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Really like all of your options and that new Revo them is AMAZING. I seemed to keep getting boot hangs when trying to pick a new NON voodoo JT kernel though. Not sure why.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
were you on a voodoo kernel previously? if so you need to either install another voodoo kernel or go through the correct voodoo uninstall process. see the first sticky for the latter. and yeah, Retrokid223 did a fantastic job on the theme.
[Fascinate Android Development] durakbane:
I've already mentioned, as least on xda, that I like this rom...I really like what you've done and the 'a la carte' options is awesome! For some reason, I cannot get into the gpssetup even after getting into the hidden menu. Considering that the gps is one of the known 'shortfalls' of the fascinate, would it be possible to add back in whatever enables the gpssetup menus?

Thanks! I'll post this in the modadroid thread as well.. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
i was but completely removed and put my phone back to stock. I was running JT's non voodoo TEST for a few days then when I tried to revert back to his older one on your ROM things got a little weird. I honestly don't even know which kernel I'm currently running I've switched between the two trying to get one to work again. I'll try the new TEST one more time. Maybe things were being weird with the older RM.

EDIT: I might've tried to flash the same kernel over itself.. would this cause it? I know I'm running his 1000 non Voodoo. Just checked my Setcpu and its oc'd to 1000.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Yeah I figured out today that the hiddenmenu is only an interface, each of the options is a separate program. Next week I'm gonna package all the hiddenmenu options into the package. I'll post on here and modadroid when it's ready.
[Fascinate Android Development] durakbane:
Enjoy your rest from the mod and thanks for your work!:)
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Sonofskywalker3, I recently tried to upload some pics to picasa on the phone. Shockingly...or not...the option was missing.

A little digging later revealed that the share to picasa feature requires 'mediaupload.apk'.

Not sure if it is required to add this or not to a future addon panel, but thought you might want to know in case someone else asks. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks for the heads up, I'll add it into the gallery 3d package next week.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
I thought you were resting. :D

When you do get back to it, another addon possibility I thought of was putting AppBrain (free in market) in the addons.

With it's syncing and 1-click "Perform Installs" based on your google creds, it seems almost like a no-brainer. An End-run around titanium with the end result of always "restoring" to the latest version of every app.

Tried it today and loved it. (Wiped and reflashed after syncing to AppBrain.) Had everything back up and running within minutes (over wifi). Didn't miss a beat.
[Fascinate Android Development] thatoneguy1983:
Just wanted to confirm that v cast video is working great. Thanks for all your work man--it's keeping my mod-obsession satisfied.
[Fascinate Android Development] Sidewind75:
Awsome rom loving it. one question though is there a way to change boot animations that you have without having to flash everything all over again.

also how do i get it so that the puzzle lock screen will have the puzzle piec for the messaging app like the stock rom does...all i get is the unlock puzzle piece
[Fascinate Android Development] barrettcook2000:
Excellent work. I have a suggestion.

Hey sonofskywalker,

This is great work. Having it so customizable was a genius idea. It is the most beautiful rom I have found yet, love it!

There are a few small things I would like to see added to the options that I think a lot of people would enjoy. To have the circle battery indicator with % and the circle signal meter set as options that would work with the themes would be awesome. Also, if it is possible to get the samsung task manager widget thrown in as well, that would be perfect.

Thanks for all your hard work. This setup really made my day. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Epell:
I have the same issue.

Also, a bit more options for kernels might be nice. Arranged by LV/Standard and OC speed.

Otherwise I like it lots!
[Fascinate Android Development] Sidewind75:
Check your notifications..the soft keys light up letting you know you have a missed call or email or txt message or some other notification..if you clear the notifications then power off the screen the soft keys should go out
[Fascinate Android Development] iTz Nicholas72:
Any chances of adding the stock boot animation. I like the galaxy s part and would like to have that as my animation...
[Fascinate Android Development] thatoneguy1983:
I would also like to see the standard boot animation as an option.

Also, my battery life has been great with this rom! I haven't conducted any serious tests, but it's a very noticeable improvement.

Sent from my blackhole customized fascinate using the xda app.
[Fascinate Android Development] ilogik:
When I try to go to USB options it force closes, and when charging the phone with a wall charger a USB mode and a USB debug mode prompt shows up. Isnt that supposed to come up only if connected to a PC? Also, where can I get stock Samsung widgets and live wallpapers and what is the advantage to flashing a different kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Wow, this looks pretty awesome, just the customizability aspect of this ROM. I'm new to Android and I think this will be the first ROM I flash when I get some free time. But I have a question, if I flash this will I be able to keep the full version of ThinkFree Office that came with my Fascinate? I like being able to edit Word documents on the fly. Everything else that came from Verizon is pretty worthless, but ThinkFree Office is pretty nice. Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] jiggaman508:
First off I love this rom my phone has never been this fast it is finally faster than my d1 and d2...one request
[Fascinate Android Development] jiggaman508:
Ahhh sorry I hit the wrong button but yea one request is the lockscreen slider tabs...i was wondering if you could make the grey around them transparent
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
Love this ROM, thanks so much. I'm having 2 issues though. Are you guys having these, too?

-Force close on USB Settings menu

-Sound popping/cracking on some audio

.I am also using the latest Blackhole ROM & the latest StupidFast kernel. I am torn on which thing is the issue, this ROM or that kernel (or the combination of them both). Like I said in other thread, none of these are deal-breakers for me, just things I'd like to get resolved. Again, thanks for all your work.
[Fascinate Android Development] iTz Nicholas72:
Its either the kernel or the combination because I didnt have the audio issue when using the latest rom with the stock kernel.

Hopefully this gets solved soon...
[Fascinate Android Development] ilogik:
I have the USB issue and I am using the stock kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] mebizzle:
I am also having these same problems, although the sound problem got better with the latest kernel =/
[Fascinate Android Development] barrettcook2000:
sound problems.

I too was having the issue with the sound crackling. I did a little checking and flashing and narrowed it down. Turns out it was the stupidfast kernel that was the culprit. So now I have jt's latest kernel with blackhole and the combination works wonderfully.

would like to see some options for oc kernels with this rom however, that would be sweet.
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
For the record, some people are using different kernels and still having this issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] cynikalJ:
is anyone having trouble downloading the rom. it goes through downloading everything fine till it gets to the long list like stock fascinate mms.apk and it says bad download and doesn't go any further, so I didn't select it and it did the same thing for the verizon voicemail app.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaessa:
LOVE the Aperture Science startup/shutdown screens and sounds.
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
Not sure if it's now or not, but it seems the download server has been up and down all day long. Perhaps you should try later/tomorrow.
[Fascinate Android Development] Horus.Campbell:
I'm having USB Settings force close as well.

Sent from my StupidFast Blackhole Fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
A few things:

I have listed my weekly goals checklist in the OP, give it a read and let me know if I missed anything.

I have not had any audio issues myself running Blackhole with the latest stupidfast kernel, but i'll keep my ears open.

I am not a themer, the work i did on Blackmod Enhanced was just swapping files, so i'm not the one to ask about making changes to themes, such as transparent sliders or changes to battery or signal. This would be something to bring up to some of the great themers here on XDA like frostman89, Retrokid223, Goldenstorm, or thatdudebutch. If there is an existing theme you would like me to add I'll be glad to do so, but I'm not very good at making changes to themes myself, and I feel my time would be better spent adding features to the ROM and letting those more talented and artistic than myself handle the themes. thank you for understanding.

Lastly, the USB settings issue that is being brought up frequently is because the USB settings has been removed from the default ROM and hasn't been added back yet. Since all this does is allow you to change from usb mass storage mode to media sync mode, I didn't think it was a priority. Now, whether it's because people want to make those changes, or just because they don't want it to force close when they click on something people seem to be wanting it, so it's on my list of options to be added this week.

As always thanks everyone for your input, compliments, criticizms, donations, and most of all your patience while I try to balance work, life and development. If only I was rich and had no family or friends I could be happy working on the rom all day, but unfortunatly paying the bills and keeping the wife happy come first. =) I know you all understand.
[Fascinate Android Development] iTz Nicholas72:
The audio issue is fixed you increase the minimum speeed to something over 100mhz
[Fascinate Android Development] Massael:
The only fc I would like to report is pressing the vm button in the dialer, not sure if this has already been noted.
[Fascinate Android Development] Adr0it:
I just wanted to reiterate that the download for the visual voicemail add-on is broken. I've tried it on a few different occasions over the past 24 hours, all with no luck.

Also, just wanted to confirm bumping up the minimum clock speed fixed the audio cracking issue when running the StupidFast/Blackhole combo. I originally had it at 100 MHz in SetCPU and it went away after I set it to 200 MHz.

No issues with USB though.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Two items before I quit for the day:

The visual voicemail addon is now fixed, sorry for the downtime

The Galaxy S bootanimation is not the default, it is similar, and has the same music, but I have found that the default bootanimation cannot be called with a kernel that is set for the custom bootanimations. As with theme requests this is not something I can really devote the time necessary to figure out right now, I would suggest that you want the default bootanimation that you look for jt1134, geeknik or agenthex in #samsung-fascinate on freenode IRC and ask them to make it an option for their kernels. If it ever is I will include it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Epell:
Wow, this project is developing non-stop! :D

Thanks for the all your work, mate!
[Fascinate Android Development] pokedroid:
Your commitment to this ROM is amazing! Only issue, can't download the stock mms apk. Not sure if it's on my end or not.. Data seems to be working fine in every other regard. Other than that I really can't ask for much more. Thank you for all of your hard work.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
For those of you wanting a theme with accurate circle battery and circle signal meter I have added GoldenStorm's Black Reboot theme to the themes section, it has both of these.
[Fascinate Android Development] adianlorenzana:
I would recommend also adding the matte blue theme, it had that as well and looks stunning.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
It's done. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Just released version 1.3, Changelog is in OP.
[Fascinate Android Development] wizang:
I'm still super in love with this rom but I can't for the live of me get the stock keyboard back. I've installed the extra option for stock keyboard and I know how to switch input methods in a text field... even in the system menu only swype shows up. The keyboard apks installed from the .zip downloaded are present in my /system/app folder, but beyond that don't seem to be working. Is there any sort of adb output I could provide to see what's going on?

EDIT: I've also tried completely wiping when upgrading to the latest blackhole.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I'm not sure what's going on there. I just downloaded the standard keyboard from extras and it's working fine. Have you tried going into the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard and deleting the .zip file for it, then redownloading? If that doesn't fix it please PM me with a list of the exact options you chose when upgrading and i'll see if i can duplicate it.
[Fascinate Android Development] KrInEn:
Wow! I can't keep up with your releases! :D Amazing work man, one question though. Do you need to wipe before installing? if so what are you guys using to back up all of your data/programs etc.... I really don't want to start Angry Birds over again for the 50,000th time :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Sithben24:
Titanium works great and is easy to use. My angry birds data is always kept and its relly the only important data. :-). Great rom keep it coming.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
You will never have to wipe data when going from one version of Blackhole to another minor version update (ex: from 1.2 to 1.3) however a wipe may be necessary once I release 2.0, because that will use a different base. If comming from another custom rom or from stock a data wipe should not be necessary, but I recommend it to get the full benefit, because some of the apps you have in data may be installed to /system as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] skruff77:
i got a dumm question. do you need a new kernel or can you use stock?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
It will work fine with stock kernel, not a dumb question at all. the only thing you're missing is the kernel options (better speeds, better battery life, backlight notifications and custom bootanimations). everything else will work fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] skruff77:
cool thanks for the quick reply.:D
[Fascinate Android Development] pokedroid:
Hey just throwing my two cents in, I have never been able to use the stock keyboard since 0.6. Luckily I found a good copy of the DX multi touch keyboard, soo it's no big, but for the record I'm having the same issue.

Is anyone else having a problem downloading the stock mms apk? I haven't been able to view any picture messages for days :/

Still the best rom out though. Thanks for all the hard work. Do you happen too need anyone else testing things? Id love to make ur job easier if I could :)
