Great!! I cant wait. Hopefully more roms,themes,kernals and so on and so on.
[Samsung Mesmerize] deeoh1084:
how do u get into CWM? i'm trying to install this rom to my co worker's mesmerize but it seems like i can't even get into CWM (the phone is rooted and everything) how did u guys flash it?? and where did u find a working voodoo for mesmerize? (i have samsung vibrant so it's little different)
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
I wanted to say thanks for all the work done so far on the Mesmerize. I'm contemplating waiting to root until there is a froyo rom out. Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Yoder808:
Assuming you followed the guide regarding ClockworkMod for the Mesmerize, the best way to install ROMs is with ROM Manager. Before using this app, I am assuming you have followed the steps of backing up your phone and installing CWM as listed here. Good luck.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Just got word earlier this week that we're looking at a Q1 release for official froyo. Personally I'm hoping VZW will release it sooner so we can port it, but we'll see. I think that the VO team has it and is testing, but I can't get anybody to tell me for sure. Also, trying to get on the VO team so I can have updates sooner, but that's not going well either.

Anyway, that's all I have on that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
I heard something on engadget I think and samsung thinking about just skipping Froyo and going straight for gingerbread. which would be sweet but Im guessing it would take a lot longer for the update to get into anyones hands
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
They won't skip it. They've already sent it out. It's being tested and barring any problems will get released after the VO team approves it. We'll be lucky to see gingerbread by July earliest, IMO.

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to see this forum, and update to the 2.2 rom.

However, I'm a complete noob and have never done anything like this to a phone. If someone would not mind, can you teach me what I need to do to flash my phone?

The steps I have taken so far is to find the z4root app and install it on my phone, then used it to root the phone. After that I have purchased ROM Manager and installed that. Once I get home, I'm going to download JT's rom on to my computer.

I guess its after I download his ROM file that I am not sure of how to proceed.

Thanks again for any help, and sorry if these are dumb questions.
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Just so you're not disappointed the SuperClean Rom is not 2.2. It's just 2.1 with a bunch of mods. It's great btw!

So following on all other posters make sure you have followed all of the instructions for installing clockwork and create a back up of your stuff etc...

Download and install ROM Manager, go into it and choose to boot into clockwork to install an update from SD Card. Good Luck!
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
You need to download the clean rom and put it on the SD card go into rom manager and boot into clockwork once there you go to install zip from SD. Then you choose zip from SD and install once done you wipe data and cache. Then you reboot it will take longer that normal first time but next time you boot this will change to normal time. If you have never use Rom manager before you do anything you need to flash recovery for the fascinate....forgot to mention that so do that first to be able to reboot recovery from there on you can proceed with flashing a Rom and then kernel....I just posted some mods for an accurate battery and bootanimation and custom notification icons in the forums. Hope this helps....
[Samsung Mesmerize] zarakand:
Okay, I think I understand what to do. It took me a minute to figure out that Rom Manager is also the Clockworkmod, lol.

About to install the clean mod! I'm very excited, thanks and I'll provide an update when it's done.

Update: Thank you very much for the clean mod! I love it! After a lot of help from many forum members, I was able to get clockwork mod and this ROM to work. I hope you guys keep updating with new ROMs!
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
This needs to be moved from fascinate to mesmerize please...

This ENTIRE thread need to be moved to the MESMERIZE section...MODS can you please do this when you can as it would be easire to monitor there....THANKS:cool:
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
Any one had problems with YouTube apparently working? When I first installed the Rom it work fine and then stooped working keep getting error
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidjosh:
Since downloading this ROM I've had issues with my mms. I can't seem to send or receive. Anyone had this issue and if so is there a fix. Keep up the good work!

sent from the dark side of your mom's ass.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
This is being worked on. I know jt has sent me a couple of new test mms.apk's to try out and maybe a few other people too. It's an odd problem. We thought it had to do with dependencies missing at first, but there seems to be another issue as well. I've flashed a couple versions of the mms.apk to my ROM that has all of the dependencies left in, and still no love.

Like I said, though it is being worked on. I may reflash super clean to see if I can come up with a temporary fix while jt works on the aosp mms. I'll let you know how it works out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Did you by chance switch memory cards? I had the same issue and it wouldn't play any youtube videos after I switched memory cards.

I've also found that youtube videos will NOT play in the browser, you have to have the app. I downloaded one from the market and it didn't do the trick.

Download this file, unzip it, put it on your sd card, open it up and install it. Worked for me.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
No I didn't switch my sdcard. It work at first then after I rebooted my phone it would just crash.

I will give that a try as soon as I get home. Thanx
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
I flashed this rom using Clockworkmod's ROM Manager. I backed up my ROM before flashing this one and the backup completed successfully and then went onto flashing the ROM. After reboot it is now sitting at the SAMSUNG screen and has been for about 15 minutes. I know that it can take some time to boot up after a flash but how long should I be waiting?

EDIT: Now the button combination will not work to get into recovery mode to reflash. Any ideas? Can someone please confirm for me what the button combination is? I thought is was VOL UP + HOME + POWER

EDIT2: Plugged phone into computer and was able to get into recovery mode. Cleared cache and reflashed, still didn't work. Any ideas?
[Samsung Mesmerize] cpfeifer:
Once you flashed ClockworkMod I'm fairly sue, at least on mine, the recovery combo is: Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. I know the volume is a rocker but you can push them both.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Thanks, I finally got it. I had clear cache AND data for the new ROM to actually boot.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
That happens sometimes. It's easiest if you just flash from recovery, then do a factory restore right after, IMO. Personally I flash everything from recovery now instead of ROM Manager just so it takes me right back to recovery. That way I have the option to do something else, like factory restore, clear cache and/or dalvik, battery stats, or whatever else I may need to do at the time. If you have the voodoo kernel there are even more options in the recovery menu.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
I have to say I am happy with this ROM. It is snappy, I like the UI, wasn't sure if I would be able to get away from Touchwiz because that is all I've known but it seems to be pretty easy to switch when the UI is intuitive.

I have been slowly advancing to this point since Halloween when I bought the phone and am glad I did. I understand more now than I did when I started. I have to give much thanks to everyone in the XDA community.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
I was just wondering if the ROM is basically all stock UI? For example - when you pull down the notification bar are the GPS, WIFI, and Bluetooth icons still there to disable/enable the features?

Does this include the stock calendar or the samsung calendar?

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
It still uses the touchwiz framework so the pulldown stuff is still there. I couldn't get aosp calendar to work correctly, so the touchwiz version is included.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Is anybody else experiencing really bad battery times with this ROM? My battery only lasts about 4-5 hours now when it was 8-9.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Using the voodoo kernel with it will help. It is undervolt, and has a few other tweaks that really help in that area. I usually only have to charge overnight if I'm using it regularly, or about 3 times a day if I am using it heavily plus reflashing ROMs and themes for testing purposes .
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
Yes when I first got my phone I would get 8 hours and then I flashed it to the super clean rom and it went to 4hours after flashing. The voodoo kernel I get 14 to 15 hours. I use battery left to get times.
[Samsung Mesmerize] co6alt:
So what's up with this voodoo kernel now? Do I have o download it from somewhere else? And how would I go about flashing it (not mitchell, sry) same steps as flashing the Rom?

I'm just starting to learn about this stuff, thanks for any help
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
The voodoo kernel is linked in a sticky at the top of the forum. Just follow the directions in the tread and you shouldn't have any problems. I'm not sure what Mitchell is, so I don't know how you would flash it but most things can either be flashed in ROM Manager or recovery. Personally, once I got voodoo installed, I've flashed everything from recovery since.
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
is there anychange notes from .2 to .3?
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
^this, what's different?

Sent from my Galaxy S.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Ok, after reading through this and seeing that there is an update to this ROM, as I have 0.2 and 0.3 is out and I see that the kernel has been removed.

So I need to know what is the procedure for moving to 0.3 and then flashing the voodoo kernel?

Is my understanding that when you flash a ROM without a kernel it uses the kernel that is in place? If that is the case when I flash 0.3 it will keep the kernel from 0.2? Is this correct?

Thank you all for your help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Flashing from .2 to .3 is as easy as putting it on your sdcard, booting into CWM recovery and installing from zip. As a side note, if you already have the voodoo kernel on your sdcard you can install it right after you install the ROM. You don't even have to reboot in between. That would just save you an extra minute or so. Just install the kernel the same way as the ROM. Watch the pretty blue words go across your screen and then reboot when it's done. While it's rebooting, which will take about 4 to 5 minutes, a voodoo chick will talk you through what is going on. Don't worry, she's just possessing your phone. Once it's done and completely possessed, I mean rebooted, you are off and running.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Worked great. Thank you very much. 1650 Quadrant Score. Very snappy, I can update my signature with the new version.
[Samsung Mesmerize] young_shane:
so if i wanted to have all the live wallpapers back how would i go about doing that?

like put the .apk files back into /system/app ? or is there another place? i love the rom i just want all the live wallpapers
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Is there something special with this ROM that is preventing me from putting in my own custom bootanimation? I have Root Explorer, it is mounted as R/W but everytime I try to replace bootanimation.zip it tells me there is not enough free space, but Root Explorer shows over 100MB free. Also when I try to delete bootanimation.zip it tells me it deleted but then it is there when I go back in. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I'm not sure that the superclean ROM will support that. You can try, but there are a lot of dependencies that were removed to slim it down as much as possible. Just pull the live wallpapers plus the live wallpaper picker and put them all in /system/app and reboot to see if they work. If not, there are other dependencies that are needed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
So, is anyone using this rom able to send MMS? There is a thread in the fascinate forum where they are using a stock mms file to fix picture messaging in the super clean 0.9 rom...think we could do something similar?

Love the super clean, but I need pix messaging for work.

Cheers,
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
I had that same issue and as I recalled it was a problem with root explorer and it saying it had SU permission when it didn't. .....had to reinstall it a couple of times to get it to have working permissions......this Rom also does support bootanimations. Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Nobody is able to send pics using the AOSP mms.apk with the Mesmerize. When I was running the super clean ROM I worked with jt trying to figure out if it was just a dependency issue or something else. So far I don't think there is a consensus on what the problem actually is. It puts out some weird logcats, though. I've tried just putting the stock mms.apk back in and that seems to kill it to the point that the phone doesn't even recognize that it's there, so you don't even have text messaging.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Have you tried to replace the bootanimation.zip with another one? I think it's a required thing to have one, but I might be wrong.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
Phidelt82, Thx for the explanation.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
I don't seem to be able to send an mms. its been going for about 5 minutes. it's not super important to me but I would like a fix if there is one.

Sent from my Galaxy S.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
I'm using Handcent SMS for my messaging needs seems to take care of the mms problem in this rom.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Really? I tried that and it didn't work for me. But then again, that was way back in the test version and 0.1 days. Hopefully this is a fix for people.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
Weird...i tried this on .2 and it didn't work. I am going to flash again right now and try.

***Edit*** No dice....I tried everything short of installing the voodoo kernel. Still wouldnt send mms.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
ganz, if you dont mind me asking, what is your setup?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Nope. It doesn't work. I was seeing MMS that I had sent. Can't receive them with Handcent either. Must be something in the stock ROM that allows them to work correctly. Maybe some kind of handshake with USCC's network? Anyway, I'm using .2 with the Voodoo Kernel.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
Sounds like some people are having less battery life after flashing this witout having the voodoo kernel. 14-15 hours sounds amazing but I've never had a smart phone that lasted longer than 8. How long are most people seeing their batteries last with/without voodoo and this rom?

I'd say I'm getting 8-9 hours with stock rom and voodoo kernel. Thinking of flashing to this superclean rom. Does anyone have a list of the apps it does come with? Does it have the default camera?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
I was unable to send MMS with Handcent on 0.2 ROM. I haven't tried with 0.3. I am using Voodoo kernel with 0.3 now and will test.

UPDATE: No dice on sending MMS with Handcent on 0.3 ROM with Voodoo.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
I was getting pretty bad battery times with 0.2. I have since upgraded to 0.3 with Voodoo ROM (links in sig). It is hard for me to do a good test during the week as I have the phone plugged in at work. I will test for sure over the weekend.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
I was not able to get it to work with Root Explorer, I ended up using Terminal Emulator and doing it old school command line. Got it to work though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Guys, I think I may need to use these Odin files to get my phone working again. Can you guys check out this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10170857#post10170857 and if you think there is a way around the voodoo lagfixe recovery menu constantly looping and not letting me boot that would be great.

I had a backup of my superclean ROM and decided that I wanted to try the Pick-N-Pack ROM and decided I was going to go back to superclean and when I tried to do the restore this is where I ended up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And I also meant to say... Can someone point me in the right direction or give me directions exactly how to flash this file to my phone with Odin? I heard Odin can really brick your phone so I want to make sure I know what I am doing before I do it. I have "Odin3 v1.3.exe", do I need the multi Odin?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I just pm'd you
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
phidelt82 is AWESOME. He walked me through reflashing stock image on my phone and I am up and running again to get into trouble again. Thank you very much phidelt82.

FYI, flashing with Odin, use setting that it starts up with and put the PIT file in the PIT area and the tar.md5 file in the PDA box. Took 2:46 and I was up and running again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
All in a days work. I'm just glad I could help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
Would I be able to remove ADW Launcher without significant issues?

Or would just flashing the Pick and Choose be the way to go.

After useing the ADW I wanna go back and use Launcher Pro or just use the TW and go from there. (Still working through the ToTry list of apps. LOL)

This is a GREAT ROM and has run flawlessly so really don't wanna take it off just want to know if the ADW is tied in or if a simple Uninstall would be enough to take it off.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It is tied in, but you can install Launcher Pro. What I would suggest, is using Titanium Backup to freeze ADW if you want. You can use it to delete it also and it shouldn't cause any problems as it's not integral to the system. Just make sure you have some sort of launcher on your phone before freezing or deleting.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
When 1st coming up after 1st load it gave choice if ADW and TW so I just assumed that TW was still lurking in there somewhere. LOL

Thanks ..
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Please correct me if I am wrong.

This ROM, along with the pick and pack, is identical to the stock ROM except they have taken applications out. Can't I get the same thing by going back to stock and installing the applications out of the app folder?

Also, can I just install voodoo into the stock ROM and get the same performance benefit?

I am getting a little annoyed with no MMS. I thought it wouldn't be an issue but I find myself wanting to send my wife some pictures or receive some and I can't.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
The Pick-n-Pack ROM uses stock MMS, and it is 100% functional. It has also been updated to be easier to flash what you want, in stead of having to build it yourself. The problem with MMS in JT's super clean has to do with it being AOSP MMS and it not working completely yet with our phones, but he is still working on it and hopefully will be getting it working soon. I think you can flash the voodoo kernel to the stock ROM, obviously after you root and get CWM working again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] frozn00:
Yes the voodoo kernel works fine with the stock rom. Ended up flashing back to stock with odin then installing the voodoo kernel for the lag fix. Could not get mms to work correctly same as others with the superclean rom
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
If the Pick-n-pack rom has a working mms couldn't we just take it and install it?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
My understanding is that the dependencies were taken out of the super clean.

He cleaned it so well he took some paint off.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
yeah, there are dependencies missing in super clean that make it so the stock mms from the pick n pack won't work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] plsports:
dependancies

Along with MMS not working has anyone else had issues with the wireless tethering? MMS is not as important to me as the wireless tether. I have gone back to the stock rom for this reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
I never have gotten Wireless Tether to work on my device. Even when I was on stock it didn't work for me, it still doesn't on Super Clean.

what's up with our CPU not performing like it should based on this???

Also, wow so you have the DEV quadrant? Isn't that VERY expensive?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
My CPU was performing just as a normal CPU does on the Mesmerize. It wasn't overclocked.

It's just Quadrant Advanced. I guess if you consider 2.99 VERY expensive, then yes.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
oh... no i was thinking it was the professional version that showed the colors and it's only $24.99, I thought it was a couple hundred dollars.. Nevermind lol..

So what's up with our CPU running so slow compared to the Nexus though? Is that what everyone is talking about when they say this test is designed for the Snapdragon processors
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
So quick question. I have started to play with ROMS and see how they are taken apart and put together.

Say I want to run Super Clean.. BUT I want to use LP instead of ADW..

Do I just replace the APK in the system/app folder?
[Samsung Mesmerize] plsports:
i just downloaded LP from the market. and ran it as my default. Is this the wrong way to do it? I also recently went back to the stock ROM since my wifi tether wouldnt work and also the MMS issue. Other than those two i loved my clean rom and am waiting for the MMS fix so i can go back to it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
/system/app will make it part of the ROM, /data/app will be like it was downloaded.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
I see the present ADW apk is in system/app.. Was going to take that out and replace with the LP..

Been looking around in there and comparing with the Stock ROM. Just trying to build a personal ROM that I can play with .. So would want to be part of ROM and not like Downloaded.

Figured out how to break down (somewhat) a Stock ROM and get to various parts.

So next going to try to build a ROM preloaded with apps I use and hopefully Themed and preinstalled Kernel..

Ummmm Come to think about it.. Is there a Lifeguard on Duty here !! I know I am diving into the deepend to learn to swim here.. HAHA
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
Ok people, I think I figured out the MMS thing....This worked for me, please try it and report back.

1) long press on home screen and select "custom shortcut"

2) press "pick your activity"

3) choose "activities"

4) scroll down & tap "com.android.hiddenmenu"

5) in the sub menu scroll down & select "MMSC(.MMSC) an icon will appear on your homescreen

6) repeat steps 1-4 and select "MMS Provisioning(.MMSProvisionEdit)"

Now from your homescreen tap the first icon (MMSC) edit the value to: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS

Back out and select the second icon (MMS Provisioning)

edit MMSC Domain to: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS

edit User Name to: yourtendigitphonenumber@uscc.net

edit Password to: yourtendigitphonenumber

Back out and reboot the phone.

Cheers
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
How did you figure this out?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
Worked for me
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
I use to have the Desire and remembered that when I was using CM 6.1 I had to edit the APNs to get MMS working. On the Desire you can use VC to open APN settings...doesnt seem to work on the Mesmerize. I stumbled on the MMS settings in the hidden menu section while I was looking for a way to disable the fullbatpopup.

Cheers
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Awesome. This might work as a fix to get it completely working for AOSP too. Talked with jt and he thinks the changes could be done in an overlay and then recompile the apk. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the info!
