woozy is correct, there is a way to get froyo/gingerbread on the fascinate...

however, currently efforts are focused on getting the radio to work properly in ANY aosp build. without the radio your phone is just a tiny tablet.

I'm not claiming a super model just blew me in the vzw store. I'm claiming something that samsung already confirmed (by accident). And it's froyo. not honeycomb. you act like this is some revelation.

I picked up a Rogers Captivate Today and was wonder what is the best way to say install the JK3 rom.. do I flash with Odin then flash back the stock Kernel?
[Android Apps and Games] SxcKieranGrr:
i have backed up all my apps and data but when i go to restore them i have to click install and then done on everyone of them, i was just wondering if there's a way around this. Or if its easier to do this manually?
[Android Apps and Games] tridge:
I could be wrong but if you have the Pro version you can do "batch" jobs and that will do exactly what your asking.

Yep, U need the Pro pay version to do all in batch.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
As soon as i got this phone I rooted it and flashed xtr rom because it looked reliable and stable. Which it was the rom was beautiful but i got the froyo bug and decided to move on to 2.2. I installed kaos froyo and love it but there are a certain things i miss specifically the htc contact app which allowed me to merge contacts from all my different sources and really minimize doubled up contacts. Is there anyway to get the htc contact app on a 2.2 rom without sense that doesn't involve flashing? Is there an apk or an apk for a similar contact app?

TLDR: Can i install HTC contact app on Kaos Froyo rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Unfortunately, there isn't any way of getting the HTC Dialer (which is what you're looking for) on a non-Sense based ROM. It would have to be ported, and noone has been able to do so. It may be hard or impossible without the original source code.

I have used Dialer One in the past, which is a lot more like the Sense Dialer. I don't know for sure if it has the feature you're looking for, but there's a free version on the Market. Check it out.

Edit: FYI in case you're curious enough to try putting the HTC Dialer on other ROMs anyway, forget it, I've already tried it. It's just not that easy. :(
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
What about xtr rom? It's a vanilla rom with the htc dialer. It might be sort of hybrid but it uses launcher pro (not sense) and the same dialer. I was kind of upset the htc dialer has so many little features that you take for granted until they are gone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It is still based on the HTC framework, which is why so much of the HTC stuff is still present and works.

I really miss the HTC Alarm/Timer/etc app, too. Sigh...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Just flash xtrSense and switch to Launcher Pro or something.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
What rom do you use?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm using Red Glass, Workshed's themed version of his FroShedYo v8: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824160

I may switch to his Vanilla, just because it's based off a newer CM build.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think he's hoping to get it or an equivalent on a 2.2-based ROM. As much as I like xtrSENSE and xtrROM, I like CM6.x-based ROMs because of the ease of access to toggle widgets in the notification menu, Froyo-native Apps2SD, and the Froyo-native USB tethering, which has been working much better for me than any other kind or method of tethering recently, and tethering is my only internet ATM. :D

I don't know if the OP likes the same things out of Froyo ROMs or not, but I would assume he doesn't want to go back to more stock for anything more than the HTC alarm clock and/or contacts.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
Thank you for the help. Xtr sense with launcher pro is almost equivalently the xtr rom. You hit the nail on the head perfectly as well. I love the stability smoothness and just all around solidness of the xtrroms sense and not. I just feel like i'm missing out when i roll 2.1 there is not much but just a lot of little things above ones mentioned are big. I'm going to rock xtr again for a little then switch to a 2.2 maybe kaos again or possibly what you use and weigh out what i like about both. I would drop both options if we can get a daily use gingerbread though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
So being new to the android system and having some experience in the past with WinMo and ROMS and flashing the 1st thing I did with my USSC Mesmerize was to of course root it. No reason.

Used z4root and worked perfect (I guess.LOL) Now have Root Explorer and Superuser.

1st question... Is there a way to unring the bell and Unroot or Reroot. *still learning some new terminology*.

2nd Question.. If I flash with a ROM (once I find one that sounds good) will it be possible to do a hard reset back to factory settings through the Power Button/volume button method. (used that one once as I installed and played with different apps to find what I wanted and needed) It shows a menu when rebooting giving a few options on reset.

Last. If anyone can point me to the Roid Hacking for Dummys section I would be forever grateful. Plans are to learn the ROM processes and work into some app development. (some coding experience and chronic insomniac).

BTW Nice to meet ya all ..

and I thought my Crackberry was addictive
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I'm using z4root as well. It gives an unroot option at the main screen. I would assume this would unroot the phone, but I am new as well. My phone unroots everytime I put a new ROM on it, which is strange...

Restore Files

I'm learning but reading and rereading everything. I don't want to offer his help for him, but I know that phidelt82 has been a massive help to me. I cannot thank him enough.

I came from a crackberry as well and this is way more addictive, haha.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
To unroot, I would use Super One Click. It is posted in these forums, just do a search and you should easily find it. Once you have it on a Windows PC or virtualbox, you just have to plug your phone in and click UnRoot.

Once you flash a new ROM, if you do a factory reset, all you will be doing is resetting what is stock for that particular ROM. If you want to go back to stock, you will have to flash the stock files using Odin, or flash a stock ROM and unroot it.

Lastly, if you are considering getting in to developing, it is a lot of fun. Be prepared to learn Linux if you don't already know it. Unfortunately, from what I've found in the learning process, there isn't much in the way of a complete document or guide to tell you how to do it. You just fumble around and learn by trial and error piecing what you read together from other phones and talking to people who are already developing. I have only been involved for a month or so, but I'm willing to help you out with whatever I can. We definitely need more people in the mix.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I must have been writing at the same time your were. lol... I'm definitely here to help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
1st and formost.. Thank you for your input. Much appreciated.

I am about to try my 1st flash with the Super Clean mod on these forums.

I do have one other question.

is the MEZ basically same as Fascinate? Can we use same ROMS ?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
DO NOT FLASH FASCINATE ROMS... it will make you're phone barf... lol

really though. don't flash anything that isn't for the Mesmerize. I can be dangerous.

but yes they are exactly the same... only different. when you look in our firmware there is still a bunch of leftover vzw crap in there.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
Thanks .. LOL seen Fac listed in Clockwork in Downloadable ROMS area. Good thing I wasn't in a adventurous mood tonight .. LOL
[Samsung Mesmerize] imyp:
I am thinking about flashing the superclean rom, but I'm still a little hesitent until I read into it more. I'm new to phone freedom, my crackberry was not nearly as fun as this phone is. I can't wait to see what we can come up with in the future.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I'm still using the pick and pack rom. I like being able to choose what programs I want to keep, rather than having all or none. I flashed with the voodoo and it's significantly faster.

I'm also a former blackberry user and I agree, these phones are freedom.

If you need any help, feel free to ask. I'm new to this and still getting a lot of help from phidelt82, but I'll do my best. I save all my chat files and am making a list of what exactly to do in order to get backups going, flash roms, install kernals, etc.
[Samsung Mesmerize] swampthing1117:
I've never been able to actually get superoneclick to connect to my phone. it just sits there saying waiting for phone and kinda locks up.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Try a different version. 1.5.5 works for me but 1.5.1 doesn't.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
I use SimpleOneClick to root and Uroot and it works like a charm

I have rooted my phone 4-6 times and even put it back to factory using the odin files

Thanks to the people on this great forum
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Actually that's how you get the mes CWM to work. You have to install the clockworkmod using the thread in the apps and dev section, then flash the fascinate recovery to finish it up. It's essential for flashing roms and such.

I sent in my Samsung Vibrant for repair because it would not turn on. The phone wouldn't turn on, and it wouldn't even show any signs of life at all. When I plugged it into the wall, I didn't even get a battery charging logo showing up on the display. Just totally dead.

I think it was my fault, as this problem occurred when I was trying to put Android 2.3 on the phone, and I was messing around with replacing the Bootloader.

Anyway, I got lucky and my phone has been repaired. This is the message I got from Samsung Repair Center.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnpthe3rd:
probably too late to help you but just FYI I worked as a repair tech when at&t was still cingular and unless there was a reason for me to care that you did something (ie rooted, unlocked, flashed etc) I would never know if there is a noticable hardware problem (like the ones that were listed as "replaced PBA" ) you fix the hardware (replace it with new one no actuall fixing going on) then flash a stock rom and run tests to check it works and send it out the door due to the volume of phones a tech is expected to deal with no matter what story they may tell you does not actually "void the warranty" it does if you "broke" the phone by what you did yes but if there is an actuall hardware problem they will just fix it and never even look to see if you did any rooting, flashing etc

This is the jist of my problem, and im trying to get it fixed, as i have work tomorrow.

Bought an Evo 4g about a week ago. Decided i wanted to root it today, went on here, found some threads for rooting it.

Now before i say this next part, i have rooted other phones with no problems, so i didnt think this would happen to me.

Back to my point, followed the steps as thoroughly as possible, but when It was installing the PC36IMG file, it said "Radio_v2 : Fail PU or something like that. Rebooted the phone, and it sits at the HTC evo 4g screen... tried doing that same step over with the same problem. So i chose the clear storage option, restarted, same problem, then got into recovery and did the factory reset option, and now when i start my phone, it goes straight to recovery mode. Nothing more nothing less.

Anybody out there know how i can just get the factory stock rom or what ever back on this thing? ill be up all night till i get it fixed. Also maybe the update.zip? idk.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Well thanks to kaschenberg over in the Aria forum...

As it turned out the Plemix phone in the link above was no good to AT&T. So I called Plemix customer service, spoke with Paul and they canceled the order. WOW! They are in Hong Kong. Talk about service.

So now ordered the phone at this link

http://www.newayci.com/detail/1220/H..._DESIRE_Z_NAM/

for AT&T 3G use, the key being these frequencies are needed...

2G Network: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network: HSDPA 850 / 1900
