A few items brought up overnight. Due to unforseen demand I maxed out my dropbox daily transfer limit, so i've had to upgrade to their paid service. This costs me $9.99 per month, so I've decided to add a donate link to my sig to try to offset this a little. Please feel free to use this rom or anything I ever do without donating, I'm not trying to make money off of developing, just trying to cover my costs associated with it.

The Gallery should be available in addons now, and i'll be working on vcast video today. I have fixed the issues with the blackmod enhanced theme, mesmerize contacts, and Rom manager and mesmerize car dock options being reversed.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Excellent. I should really start looking into getting my domain back up and running. I would love to host some of these projects... You guys shouldn't have to pay to distribute your work. That's just lame...
[Fascinate Android Development] chrisp304:
Maybe you could re-add the calendarprovider.apk back into your roms. It appears this is needed for calendar apps to sync with google calendar. Keep up the excellent work.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
The touchwizcalendarprovider.apk is included with the TouchWiz Calendar option I've just added to ROM Manager addons. If you want to have the file available by itself for use with other calendar programs i'll be glad to add that as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] chrisp304:
I think having the provider.apk by itself would be a good option for those of us who use 3rd party calendars. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I have added a calendars section where you can choose between touchwiz calendar (with the app and provider) or 3'rd party support (with just the provider). let me know if this works for you with a third party calendar app please.

I have added a vcast video option to the addons in ROM Manager. try downloading it. it worked for me up to the point where you have to subscribe, and since I don't i couldn't proceed. let me know if it works or not please and I will try to fix it if it doesn't. (you may need to also download the video player from addons, not sure)

Also for those wondering: the usb settings gave you the option of choosing between USB Mass Storage mode and Music Sync Mode. I left the Music Sync Mode out because I figured no one running a custom rom would use it. if i'm wrong it's real easy to add the package as an extra. let me know if any of you want it.
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
Can you please put a download link on this post? I don't know why but ROM manager web connect doesn't work for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] iTz Nicholas72:
Can't wait for the update. Hopefully it will help with the GPS taking forever to lock on every once in a while.

ROM: Blackhole 1.3

Kernel: StupidFast 1.2.3
[Fascinate Android Development] wizang:
Blackhole isn't in the premium list, just go to regular download and its there.
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
To download a ROM at all you have to have premium...
[Fascinate Android Development] magitues:
the donate version gives you the full ROM list, but you can download ROM's with the free version, just not all of them.
[Fascinate Android Development] kyfredrickson:
really dumb newb question

i currently have JT's super clean rom. Im not sure how this rom difffers, but if i want to flash this rom and get rid of JT's, how do i do so?

Do i just flash over it? or do i have to remove the super clean rom first?
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
um no, wrong
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
dude yea, premium is for premium roms which dont exist yet
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
technically you should be able to just flash over as it deletes the system prior to installing the new rom however i always choose to wipe data by the off chance something remains from my old rom that causes errors
[Fascinate Android Development] kyfredrickson:
So just go into rom manager and pick this rom...then chose wipe and backup...and I'm good to go?

How is it different from JTs? I have jts kernel also..does that mess things up?
[Fascinate Android Development] crispybacon:
If you wanna try this one instead of JT's, you don't have to do a backup but select clear data/cache and you'll be good.

Having JT's kernel wont effect this, but idk how this is different from JT's as i haven't tried this yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] jamesbdh:
Anyone with the browser bookmark issue?
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
i personally use dolphin however you may be able to delete bookmarks they old workaround way of deleting verizons default bookmarks by clicking the history tab after you go to your bookmarks and removing the star next to the website you dont want as a bookmark
[Fascinate Android Development] jamesbdh:
That worked. Thank you
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
then how do you download them? when i try to do web connect it says i have to have premium
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
open rom manager and hit download rom then choose sonofskywalker3...you dont need webconnect
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks for the help Bdube, my internet at home is down so it's hard to type long posts on the phone =). Yes, web connect and rom manager premium are not necessary. Just open ROM manager, click on download rom, select sonofskywalker3, and then pick Blackhole 1.3.

And to those asking what the difference is between this and jt's clean rom, it's all about customization. when you download JT's Clean rom you have a few options of extras you can pick. In Blackhole you have much more. In Clean you get all the standard programs, some replaced by AOSP like music and desk clock, and all the bloat removed. With Blackhole you get to chose whether you want stock or aosp, or none at all. If you don't use the calendar, why have it on the phone taking up space? What if you want launcherpro instead of ADW? I personally like the lockscreen music controls. With Clean i'd have to replace the music app with a stock one from a different system dump, and enable the puzzle lock manually. With Blackhole I just pick those two options from the list. done.

I'm not saying that Blackhole is better than Clean, because when you flash Clean, if that's what you want, that's what you get. it's better for some people because they don't want to make all those choices. but for me, i dont want anything i don't use on my phone, and i don't want to have to install a rom, then spend 30 minutes changing the apps to what i'd rather have.
[Fascinate Android Development] path2u:
where to download from ?

OK, i know I'm a little noob and all that, but I am coming from a G1 where things had to be done a little more 'manually' for ROM updates. Where can I actually go to download this ROM to my PC ?? there is no link or attachment anywhere in the thread so I'm sure im missing something obvious. I miss the days of Cyanogen documentation that anyone could read and install ROM's from, lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] phooky:
download rom manager and you can install it through there. you don't need to plug into your pc to update it anymore.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Welcome to the fascinate! As stated above, all you need is to download Rom Manager (no premium necessary, but I have it because it supports a great dev), and in rom manager click on download rom, then sonofskywalker3, and select blackhole 1.3 from the top of the list. no need to connect to the computer, it's all done on the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] path2u:
no more manual ROM downloads ?

I get ROM manager, and pretty slick interface. I still want to download them however for instances like today when phone bricked out after accidentally swithcing between voodoo and non-voodoo kernels ... it is much easier for me if I have ROM's backed up to PC as well then I can just plug in, copy over, and reboot into CWM. so same question, is there a website were ROM Manager downloads are maintained or something where I can download directly to PC ??

Tried googling, but so far have no found it.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
No problem, sorry for misunderstanding. When you download a rom through rom manager it saves the files by url. So if you go into your sd card you will find a folder called clockworkmod/download/ and in there you can find the path. For example I use androiddoes.net to host. You will see androiddoes.net folder. In there you will see the /sonofskywalker3 folder, then roms, apps, etc. then you have the files. So this is a long explanation to say for my files to download on a computer just go to www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/roms/Blackhole_1.3.zip but if you want something else, just change the folder and name. Like change Blackhole_1.3.zip to Blackhole_1.4.zip to download version 1.4 once it's out. if there's a file matching that name on my host it will download whether i've released it on rom manager or not.

This also means that if you've downloaded Blackhole 1.3 through rom manager, unless you clear the download cache it will stay in that folder where it can be reflashed using clockwork mod or rom manager at any time. just make sure you flash a launcher too =)
[Fascinate Android Development] path2u:
Wow, perfect. Thank you very much for the thorough answer. These forums are the real strength behind Android . . That and developers like you !
[Fascinate Android Development] skruff77:
what would be cool is if you do download the rom to your pc is to have all the options when installing the rom as you do when you download it from rom manager. i know that would take a lot and most like likely not going to happen. im just saying that would be sweet.:)
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
I dont know what is wrong with my phone then.... ive uninstalled and reinstalled ROM manager like 6 times and every time i press Download ROM the only thing on the list is "Extras"
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
after some quick looking around it appears your issue is not isolated to just you, random phones have been experiencing the same issue however there appears to be no fix posted anywhere. You can download SonofSkywaler3's rom from the link he posted above however and see if once installing the new rom you can see the developers listed in Rom Manager. otherwise you may have to wait for an update from the app developer.

Sorry for the misunderstanding of your issue. If i run across a fix ill be sure to post it for you :/
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
this rom with the DJ05 fixes would be awesome!
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikem74:
Deodexed

Is Blackhole 1.3 a deodexed rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] kyfredrickson:
How is this rom different from super clean and black hole?

sent from my rooted fascinate with JT's super clean rom and 11/11 non voodoo kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] KrInEn:
Ok I reinstalled last night from scratch, I seem to be having some major battery leaks somewhere.

I am running pretty barebones, with stupidfast 1.2.3. I dropped down 48% over night with the screen off while I was sleeping. I check with the battery status and spare parts, both said it was the display and that the phone did not go to sleep since I unplugged it.

Is there a quick fix for this?
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
yes, as so many before you have said...reboot the phone after charging it. It fixes the phone not going to standby issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
that is a very prevalent issue with the stupidfast 1.2.3 kernel, i switched to his latest not UV kernel and have had no issue since
[Fascinate Android Development] tonybalonyy:
i just pulled this from rom manager and i love it. got it with the dark glass theme.

lately i've only been using my phone for the alarm clock and calculator.

i see that it hasn't been added in to the rom. is there any way i can get it? i guess preferably stock, unless there is a better calculator
[Fascinate Android Development] Sidewind75:
im still running 1.2 and im loving it. however can anyone please tell me how to turn of the notification of the screen being rotated when the phone is pluged in..it drives me nuts
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
I just tried the rom out for the first time and I loved it. I noticed that you removed "search setting" all together. I used search button to find apps a lot and now the search button is only for internet search cause there is no way I can configure searchable items. Does anyone know how to put this back in?
[Fascinate Android Development] phantom27-ck:
I'm loving this ROM! One question, I installed the option where I choose the 3rd party calendar app. I'm looking for the google stock calendar from 2.2 but I can't find anything. Should I go back to TouchWIZ? Or can someone help me?
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
Yea I can't figure out how to set searchable items. Sad, it's such a core item that's missing.
[Fascinate Android Development] KrInEn:
I have re downloaded the MMS colorful in the rom manager but for some reason I still can't send MMS. It says sent, but no one gets them....odd
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
First let me say sorry for being so absent this weekend, my home internet has been down since thursday so i've been pretty out of the loop. now on to the questions.

I'll try to get the calculator up today.

This is caused by being in usb debugging mode. if you disable usb debugging it will not happen anymore. or update to dj05, it's fixed in that build.

I think i know what is causing this and i'll try to get it included in the next update that i hope to release today or tomorrow.

The aosp calendar hasn't been ported to this device yet. i've tried to get it but just installing the apk doesn't work. more on this later.

Have you updated to the DJ05 modem.bin? if so using a di01 system will not allow you to send or recieve sms or mms.

and for whoever was asking it seems that if you use the dark mms app it does not trigger the puzzle piece message notification, but if you use the colorful it will. and for everyone asking about a DJ05 based blackhole, it's on it's way, i'll have details soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] iTz Nicholas72:
Can't wait for DJ05 based build!
[Fascinate Android Development] Sublimer677:
Clockwork now wont mount SD card after flashing 1.1. Trying to update with build your own. Got it downloaded but when trying to flash card won't mount. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Ok, for everyone who has been following this thread since I created it, I thank you so much. You all have been generous with your praise, criticizims, ideas, donations, troubleshooting, testing, etc. That being said it's just gotten a bit to complicated to keep up with everythign on a single thread. since this Custom ROM has turned into something people are obviously interested in, and since I am putting in a lot of time, to make things a little easier on myself, I have a new homepage. Thanks so much to Bdube and the staff at www.androiddoes.net you can now go to www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3 to view my subforum. The overall forums are fairly new but growing fast, and there's a lot of good information there. In my section you can post in the official Troubleshooting or Request threads, you can see the FAQ's that i'm updating, and you can always find the latest information about Blackhole Custom ROM Series releases. There even some info on my DJ05 based build if you're interested. I will be continuing to monitor this thread over the next few days but I would like the bulk of the conversations to be moved over to my new home. Thanks guys.
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
so this GPS fix, is this the one included in DJ05?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
That's correct. I integrated the update that Adrynalyn posted earlier. According to testers in the thread it allows for much more reliable and faster gps lock.
[Fascinate Android Development] smeager:
After applying the update rom manager still lists the current rom installed as Blackhole 1-3. Is this correct?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks for the heads up, I forgot to edit the build.prop file. I've fixed it now. If you've already flashed to 1.4 and want it to show it in ROM Manager just clear the download cache and redownload the rom. it won't hurt anything if you don't, it'll just say 1.3 even though you're running 1.4.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Loving this ROM so far. Only complain is Backup Assistant. It doesn't seem to be working. Tried downloading and installing it from the app market and I get a message that this phone does not support backup assistant. It supported it before before I flashed this ROM. I prefer to use this because it makes restoring my contacts very easy. Any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
The backup assistant for the fascinate was built into the stock ROM, so market download version won't work. I have added a Backup Assistant option to the extras section of Rom Manager which should fix your issue. If you have any problems with this download please post your issues in the Error Reporting thread at www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3.
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
GPS still pretty much broken for me?
[Fascinate Android Development] tjthebest:
Im trying to Update to 1.4 for in rom manager but when i press check for updates its not doing anything. Do i just have to go to download rom and do all of that stuff again or is there a way to update without all of that?
[Fascinate Android Development] alnova1:
GPS not any better for me..:(. But this is my first time for this rom and so far its great!

*Edit* I might have spoken too soon..my GPS seems to be working better right now...much better!
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Thanks...that worked!

I ran into another issue, not sure if you want me to post it in the Error Reporting thread. While I'm typing, and I press the letter "F" for example, it is suppose to show that letter I just pressed in a square box. Mine doesn't, it looks like the pic below. It does that with most of the keys I pressed. The "DEL" key shows the delete icon when pressed. I tried removing and reinstalling the standard keyboard but that didn't fix it. I downloaded Vlingo because I like using the Vlingo keywoard, same result. Any ideas??
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Still learning the in's and out's of rom manager, I'll see if I can get the update working tomorrow. However since the rom installation does wipe the system partition you will need to pick your options again.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I have heard about this, will need to research and try to duplicate tomorrow. Please post an error report including which theme and options you chose during setup to the error reporting thread at www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3 and myself and the team will look into it.
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
Thanks for putting back in searchable items. But your version of searchable items is strange because it won't give the option of choosing "apps."
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
I lost my picture gallery and didn't see an option for it during the menu choices (checked it twice). Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] alnova1:
I didn't notice this until you mentioned this but I don't have it either..
[Fascinate Android Development] mypantsaretorn:
I'm trying to install the hiddenmenu app from rom manager but i keep getting this error:

"ROM Download Error - Hidden Menu (Advanced): protocal not found: w......"

the rest of the message is getting cut off in my notifications bar.
[Fascinate Android Development] kyfredrickson:
So how do I flash this if I'm already running super clean? Just flash it and clear cache and backup?

sent from my rooted fascinate with JT's super clean rom and 11/11 non voodoo kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] avhokie:
Coming from the stock ROM, I had the password screen lock because it is forced as an Exchange policy. After upgrading to this ROM, I got the unlock screen upon booting as I normally would. But I could not get passed that. I entered my password, but sliding the unlock slider did nothing. It didn't take the password and let me in and it didn't reject the password and tell me that I had x attempts left. Tried it a dozen times, waited for 10 minutes, tried again and still nothing.

Any help?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
I noticed that I don't get any haptic feedback or any vibration. I don't know if this is related to greenik's new kernal.
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
it's definitely the kernel...flash it to an earlier one and it works again.
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
The newest greenik's kernal blocks any bootanimation too.
[Fascinate Android Development] rice247:
If I install manually, it will boot up to a force close on setup and then just a blank black screen.

If I do it through Rom Manager, it boots up fine :confused:

GPS not working for me though.

Other than that, this Rom is great!
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
So the keyboard issue I've mentioned in post #232 is theme related. I was using the DarkGlossModSlideAnimations.zip theme when this was happening. Now I'm using the Retrokid Revolution DI01 v3.6 theme and no keyboard issue. But I noticed that the lock screen would also unlock when pressing the menu button. Haven't tried the rest of the themes yet to see if the keyboard and lock screen behaviour will occur. I will try and let you know.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Woops, missed a file. Thanks for pointing this out. You can download the fix at www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/apps/app_provider.zip and flash it through clockworkmod. I will be updating to version 1.4.1 to include this fix, hopefully later today.

The Gallery 3D option under Stock Apps is what you're looking for.

This is caused by me forgetting to put http:// in front of the link in my manifest. fixed now, thanks.

I recommend wiping data and cache but it's not always necessary, and I would say you certainly want a backup, just in case. but essentially yes, you can just flash it through rom manager.

Sorry but i've never had an exchange account to test with it, i've had beta testers do that for me. hopefully one of them can help you out, but the best advice I can give you is to try wiping data and then set it back up. titanium backup is excelent for backup and restore.

I'll let Thatdudebutch know about the keyboard issues. for the second part it is a known issue that the method used to get the stock lockscreen on this phone results in menu button unlocking it. if this is an issue I suggest you change to the puzzle piece lockscreen.
[Fascinate Android Development] emplox:
Aoso desk clock fails every time. Does this work for anyone else?
[Fascinate Android Development] Dhuss:
Finally decided to jump the wagon on Blackhole, I love it! So much faster and smoother now. Thanks for your work and updates!
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
sorry bout that. I had an extra / in the path in the manifest, should be fixed now.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jdella681:
Is there a way to disable bln? Cool feature but it kills my battery..
[Fascinate Android Development] avhokie:
Good point. I'm a little slow since I haven't done much with my Fascinate since coming over from the Hero a few months back :)

Anyway, wiped data and tried again. No issue with locks this time. But it looks like I don't get Exchange support with it. I looked at earlier posts in the thread and it looks like you addressed this, but I can't find the option anywhere in the menus. Thanks for your work and your help!
