Hey guys check this out http://opensource.samsung.com/

I have emailed them about releasing the kernel for the T959D model aka telus fascinate and didn't get a reply yet, I'm hoping some of you can take 2 minutes and send them an email... the more the people ask for it the faster they release it and then we can actually have a proper kernel :D thanks.
[Fascinate General] 0mega1:
I've uh....

Got one.

Not posting it til i know if it's safe.

And it's NOT for 2.1. ;)

[edit] sorry forgot the hinty wink...
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
Mmmmm.....yummy rooted froyo perhaps?
[Fascinate General] 0mega1:
it certainly says it is, but i fear it.
[Fascinate General] gurvir19:
is there an updated version of this to support 2.2?
[Fascinate General] DaveJeep:
Wondering the same....
[Fascinate General] 0mega1:
I'll be working on it as soon as I'm home from toronto this evening.

God I need a second android device. This iphone is useless. XD
[Fascinate General] DaveJeep:
You really are the man!
[Fascinate General] k4r1m:
You have a "one" for 2.2 or you have the actual kernel for the telus fascinate? I know the captivate kernel is very similar, are you just tweaking that?
[Fascinate General] 0mega1:
If you can hold out til 11 or 12 I promise a new thread with lots of goodies. Even the captivate and vibrant peeps might like this. The bell i9000m users definitely will.
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
Any news on this...was curious what you were going to release...

I can vouch, this works perfectly. I was having a mini heart attack trying to root my phone three days out of the box but SU went smoothly with absolutely no hitches. Thanks for editing the script.

Seems like the official Froyo update is finally here for the Telus Samsung Fascinate:

[Fascinate General] lhun:
Do we have a safe root for 2.2? The lag in telus stock 2.2 is horrible compared to when I had oclf installed on 2.1
[Fascinate General] 0mega1:
Superoneclickroot for the vibrant
[Fascinate General] lhun:
figured it out:

If you have STOCK Telus 2.2 Froyo on your SGH- T959D, Do the following:

download and install SuperOneClickv1.5.5

Root using the above tool with your phone in usb debug

(applications > Development > enable usb debug)

Wait for app to say superuser installed. It'll try to push a su command. That won't work, but that's okay.

Disable usb debug.

Reboot your phone for good measure. The phone (for me) was laggier then usual after doing this.

Next, download One Click Lag Fix 2.0:

Open the app. SuperUser should say "hey, I see something trying to use me!"

allow it.

In the program, install EXT tools

Then, install lag fix 2.2

Phone will reboot. phone will scan a lot of media on the next reboot, but hot damn, it's fast as hell.

At least, until we get 2.2.1
[Fascinate General] skotua:
When I connect my Telus Fascinate to my computer and I try to run the super one click v1.5.5, I get an error when I hit root:

Unhanded exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore the error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.

The system cannot find the file specified.

Im running stock 2.2 and the phone IS in debugging mode and I have NOT mounted the SD Card. Any suggestions? I've tried tooting this phone like a thousand times and I'm ready to chuck the thing :)
[Fascinate General] intelligencexan:
I need some serious help!!!!

I havent rooted my Device... i have the TELUS FAscinate.

I was told that it is equivalent to T Vibrant.

I tried the project voodoo 3.0 no lag fix and it resulted in a bad state where i cud only go into download mode...i tried to fix it by using the clip on youtube

/watch?v=KyAIUOYufrU

suggestion of recovering a bad flash.... its now showing recovery <2e> instead of <3e> in the recovery mode now.

Now on the boot up it Shows Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 and then "VIBRANT" in white font and shows "STCIK TOGETHER" screen in pink color just like how it shows in the vid and then it goes blank... if the tap the below touch buttons , they do light up and the screen seems like its on but no display...

I can reboot the device, go into "recovery mode <2e>" and "download mode" but just cant get the device into a working state so that i can use it....

I need serious help as this is the only phone.... :(

please help me here , thank you

[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
Go to the official telus 2.2 leak thread in development; download omega's package, unzip, start ODIN, connect your phone in dowload mode and restore.
[Fascinate General] whitie_bear:
able to do all the above but when i try to install update.zip it says

"E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted."
[Fascinate General] whitie_bear:
anyone????
[Fascinate General] kifaru66:
sorry but how do you install update.zip into your phone
[Fascinate General] whitie_bear:
i dont think you should be doing it then...hahahahaha

anyways, update zip goes on the phones memory, shutdown the phone

i think its hold vol + & vol - while you hold power button to turn it on...hold all three until it boots into something that looks like dos....option 2 is install update.zip...use the volume + & - to navigage, then power to select i beleive...should run update.zip and do it all...however i have froyo 2.2 then tried to root with no luck...no one has answered me so i beleive it is currently IMPOSSIBLE to root a Telus Fascinate 2.2 Froyo that hasnt been rooted before

and if someone thinks this is a lie, prove me wrong...and if you dont know if you have 2.1 or 2.2 dont even talk to me, because you have 2.1 if its rooted
[Fascinate General] daoom:
Seriously dude, if you can't figure that one out yourself by reading the available information then maybe you should think twice about flashing ROMs right now :)
[Fascinate General] kifaru66:
so you want me to go ahead and root with out understanding what i am doing thanks
[Fascinate General] v260:
Superoneclick worked just fine.

I have a question about ClockworkMod Recovery. Which one do we flash? Galaxy S Fascinate or Vibrant?
[Fascinate General] whitie_bear:
anyone with FROYO able to do this yet, i still cant
[Fascinate General] ahmadf14:
I have also tried and I'm not able to root the phone. Get the same error as you did. Anyone that has had success with rooting stock 2.2?
[Fascinate General] v260:
Yup, worked fine.
[Fascinate General] Rabid_Gypsy:
SuperOneClick works fine for rooting stock 2.2.
[Fascinate General] Doc_rockulus:
I tried the root, put the update.zip in my sdcard root, ran it with recovery, and it says it worked. Upon rebooting the phone, i enter terminal and type SU, wait, wait, wait, permission denied. I'm on 2.1 eclair, do I need to update to a different SW version first? I've been sitting in front of the PC for litteraly 26+ hours trying to manhandle this thing into root.
[Fascinate General] Doc_rockulus:
Nope, took a nap and I figured it out ;D
[Fascinate General] waninae39:
hello

i have the telus galaxy fascinate SGN-T959d it runs the FROYO 2.2 TLJL3 version with build 2.6.32.9

i have tried all the rooting steps all work expect the final ones

when i run the "GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models"

it pushes the files to the phone, the phone reboots and the menu appears with

reboot system

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

format internal sd-card

however there is no menu item for reinstall pkg

if i select apply sdcard:update.zip

the disaply then shows

finding update package ...

opening update package ...

verifying update package ...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

When i mount the two sd card cards (internal and external) i am able to copy the update.zip file to either

however even if i su into root on the phone, i can't copy the files to / as / is a RO file system

thus the posts that say to copy the update.zip file to the root don't work.

Question

how can i get the phone to use the update.zip file?

Why do i get a "signature verification failed" message?

has anyone else successfully got a telus galaxy fascinate SGN-T959d to be rooted

if so, please tell me how. others also report the same issue

cheeers all

[Fascinate General] kyall:
Unlocked and working on fido?

Anyone able to get their fascinate 3G+ working on fido? Can't get data to work even with proper APN settings. Is it the stock tells firmware? It tells me I'm roaming and no data ever gets transferred. Calls working fine. Txts arriving with incorrect timestamp. Sorry for the awkward forum posting didn't know where else to put this.
[Fascinate General] spydr11:
Get smstimefix from the market to fix the timestamp. Turn on roaming data to get data to work. I'm on Fido and everything is working fine.
[Fascinate General] whitie_bear:
AHA!!!!!!!!!!!

I FINALLY DID IT WITH SUPER ONE CLICK

i had froyo 2.2 and could not get this telus 959d to root...i did everything correct etc....untill i downloaded widgetsoid and super one click (the newer one 1.9.1)

anyways i installed widgetsoid on my phone, why am i mentioning that, well it has a widget option to mount and dismount sd cards...the trick is that it mounts or dismounts both the external and internal...i had never used this i always went to settings\sd card\unmount card then tried super one click and it never worked...using the widget i easilly un-mounted the external and internal sd cars, and super one click worked flawlessly on my telus Froyo 2.2 Galaxy s (SGH-T959D)

try it again, it works, oh and be in debugging mode as well

ClockWorkMod from ROM Manager?

Hi - I have rooted my Telus Fascinate successfully with SuperOneClick (awesome!). I have since installed ROM Manager - and tried to put on CWD Recovery. It reportes success (I tried it selecting Fascinate first, then later using Vibrant) but each time I select boot to recovery its just the stock android recovery (and not CWD).

Has anyone done this on the Telus Fascinate (successfully) :) ?
[Fascinate General] ryu1981:
I have the same problem than you jpmccarthy...Found a solution since?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Hi - just seeing this now - so sorry for the late reply.

Hopefully you've been on the forums - there's a how to for installing any ROM. I followed that to put on a voodoo kernel and in that process I got CWM recovery on my 2.2 phone.

Since then, I put on 2.3.3 which is also rootable via the speedmod kernel, but there is no way (yet) to get CWM recovery on.

Since then though, I'm running Darkys ROM with voodoo, CWM, 2.3.4 - lots of fun.

PM me if you are still stuck and I will try to help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] IllusiaX:
Hi all, first off i'm new to the TP2 forum, just got my phone yesterday (retired my Kaiser). I love the TP2, am enjoying it great so far.

However I used the camera once to take a pic and it was fine, a huge improvment on my kaiser. But then later that night I went to use it again and I noticed a thick, crooked black line starting from the bottom of the screen (right hand side in landscape mode), ending a quarter of the way in. It's only visible when I use the rear camera and on both the still and video camera mode.

It wasn't there when I first used the camera and I haven't dropped it. I checked the lense but I don't see a mark on it.

Has anyone else had this issue? And is there a fix for it? Normally I'd probably let it slide except I have only just got this phone and now there is thia stupid black line on my pics and videos. Please help.

By the way its a stock rom I haven't changed anything except add a few cabs and most of those I installed before the camera issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] IllusiaX:
Fixed it! I accidently dropped it on the carpet from a low height and the back cover slipped a bit I put it back and checked the camera and hey presto whatever it was dissapeard! YAY! Although I don't recommend dropping your phone as a fix if you ever experience a problem like this :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonpeon:
Hello guys,

I have searched the forum and tried all kinds of combination of buttons to get my phone to boot up but to no avail. Last night I was trying to flash the phone using odin and the latest OTA firmware. I was able to get into download mode and odin detected the phone. I selected the PIT and PDA files and hit start. After 5-10 minutes went by it was still sitting there so I thought it did not really start transfering so I tried to reboot the phone so I can start again and now I just get a picture of a cell phone, exclamation point and a computer. No matter what I do all I can get is this screen to come up. Download mode doesn't come up. Even if I pull the battery and connect the phone to the AC charger I see this screen. I tried doing a hard reset and that doesnt work. Nothing I do seems to get me to any screen other than the screen i described above. Anyone have advice for me? Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Connect the phone to your PC and open Odin. Hold down power and the volume buttons. When the screen goes black, release the power button. It will go into download mode. Since Odin is already open, it should recognize the phone.

I've had your same problem many times. About 20% of the time, Odin just hangs and I have to retry. It's scary the first time, but don't worry :) (that's what she said)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonpeon:
YOU WERE RIGHT! This error screen was throwing me off. I just held it for several more seconds after these error screen popped up and the screen went blank. It is flashing now!! Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Glad everything worked out! Odin can definitely be a pain sometimes.
[Focus General] Paolo01:
I am sure that I am missing something with the Now live tile:

1. How do I get it to display the current weather on the live tile on the home screen?

2. How do I get it to update itself without me having to manually press the update spot?

The 'Now' app is useful, but I do not understand the functionality if when I press look at the 'Live Tile' it is not 'Now' but a random gif and then when I do press it, the weather is not 'Now' but whenever I last manually updated it.

I know that this is a rookie question, but am I overlooking something obvious?
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
The Weather Channel App takes a while for the first live update, but after it starts u will notice it change often.

The Now app from Samsung, Im not sure if it auto updates or not.

Try weatherbug - free from the app store - works better than weather.com or Now

Hi Guys,

Can someone tell me please, if the Sky Map application is working well in HD2? I mean, no lags and good precision in tracking mode (G-sensors and compass)?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
It does, but it depends on if you have a recent Build that has a working compass. otherwise you're good to go :)

but you may face unsuccessful installation, avoid that by unmounting the sd card before installing ;)

Happy Sky Exploration ;) :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pauloms75:
So, there is no lags, right?

I'm asking because I will buy a new cellphone next week and my doubts are between Hd2 and SGS. Desire HD is much more expensive and out of my list...

Sky Map is very important for me.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Edwin320:
If it's that important, I'd suggest going with a phone that runs Android from the factory. I love my HD2 because its fun to tweak, but battery life issues, G sensor calibration issues, etc make it more difficult to use day to day.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pauloms75:
I thought that the G sensor calibration issues were fixed with the last roms. It's pity because I just love the HD2 feeling and professional look.

Today I just install Adobe Reader. And found something REALLY interesting.

Have any one try Adobe Reader?

When I open PDF using Adobe Reader, I just fool around with its feature including PINCH zoom. And found a shocking event. It WORKS RANDOMLY. Well it might be just a bug though.

I try to slide my two finger in and out. Sometimes it zoom in when I slide in my two finger, sometimes it does nothing, sometimes it zoom in when I slide out my two finger. It applied with the zoom out and it's a random event.

I won't post any controversial video here. Just try it by yourself. Find Adobe Reader at the market and it's only around 1,8MB in size. Please post your experience here.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corruptfate:
Ya the pinch thing happens to me too but i'm wondering if it may be just double tapping that we don't notice

Like the maps bug, 1.6 lockscreen bug...

Do you all use YouMail? I have for years and I like it but I have always had small issues with its interaction with att wireless. Now I have it working with my Focus handling voice mail, but there are some integration issues which I cannot figure out. So here are some basic questions:

1. Is there a better program or solution to voice mail handling which I do not know about but I should look at?

2. How do I get the voice mail notification to work on my Focus while using YouMail. Currently I get the email which pops up and the text message, but if I could jest get the voice mail counter to work, it would be more elegant.

TIA
[Focus General] YouMail:
YouMail and WP7

There is a WP7 visual voicemail application called magikmail - download it from the Windows Marketplace. It's a third-party application - not one we at YouMail wrote - but as far as we can tell, it's very good.
[Focus General] gillesk:
I wrote MagikMail, at this time, you would need a text notification to know that you have a new message, but I do want to move to use push notifications instead and update the live tile.
[Focus General] Paolo01:
I have just installed MagicMail to give it a whirl. It integrates quite easily with YouMail so I am very interested to see how the program works out on the Focus. Actual Live Tile integration will be a must for the enduring value of this program. As the OS is new, I can absolutely understand a few limitations, but if I am going to pay for the program, I'd love to utilize all of the OS's bells and whistles.
[Focus General] gillesk:
I've released the update with Live Tiles and Toast notifications. It should now feel like the experience that you're expecting.
[Focus General] Paolo01:
Fantastic. I cannot wait to try the updated version out as soon as I return to the US. Att's roaming data rates are not conducive to experimenting on the road. Thank you for the work!
[Focus General] Paolo01:
I have just purchased the complete version of MajikMail because the author has completely refreshed it and made it very useful with the WP7 GUI. It now supports toast and push to a live tile. It is really useful and for those users of YouMail this is a very seamless little program to allow robust use of your youmail account. In fact this program probably allows more complete use of YouMail features.
[Focus General] tbowman:
Is there any chance magicmail will be seeing a mango update? would love to see this app get a new tile.

vibration

I am assuming you are talking about a push bike

Be careful about vibration when mounting on a push bike.

The vibration has a tendency to kill phones.

I have personally killed a Garmin etex GPS mtbing and a HTC Polaris on my road bike.

About 2 months ago a mate had his iPhone on his road bike. Warned him and within 30 minutes it was struggling to power up. Alot of the internal connections are simply by pressure and the vibration seems to stress these.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoovnick:
EDIT--Mods can move this to Themes and Apps section if necessary.

Making this thread about emulator apps and roms. What apps run well for you and what's your favorite roms for each?

You can ignore the following---

I'm jealous of my brother who has the Samsung Captivate because he got one of my favorite games, DOOM. I can't find it with my Eris even after running the market fix. I've tried just googling Doom.apk, but all it returns is the paid version that requires you to download the game files through the apk. And obviously since I didn't pay for it, it's not going to let me download the game files. My brother has the one that's free, about 5mb in size and made zhibin niu. I gave the developer my email and he sent me a link, but it only directs me to the market where it says it can't be found. If anyone knows where I can get a download of this, that would be great.
