The dependencies are all there. Just make sure the clock is there and you're golden.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
does anyone have this at a different host. I am getting a hour DL time on a 10MB line
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
I know it took me a while and I'm on a 6MB line. maybe where it's hosted they throttle the bandwidth a bit.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
once i get it downloaded ill throw it on my sever and give the link. Should at least give everyone another option for DL
[Samsung Mesmerize] afritchen:
z4root

I'm having the same issue - I've tried 4 or 5 times today to get z4root to do something other than sit there clocking...

Anyone gotten past this issue?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
My phone did that at first. I went into airplane mode and it worked just fine.

My line of thought was that if nothing could interrupt the program, there shouldn't be an issue.
[Samsung Mesmerize] afritchen:
z4root

Worked like a charm!
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
My phone unroots itself everytime I put a new rom/kernal on it. I'm not entirely sure why. I hope this doesn't happen to you.
[Samsung Mesmerize] kylenshaw:
Using this method, can i still use Voodoo on this rom? Also can I add any apk's I want into the appropriate folder, or just stock applications?

Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I'm using a variation of voodoo (regular voodoo will work as well).

Just put the apk's you want into the system/app folder and it'll go through. If you forget any, just put them on your flash and open them, they'll install without an issue.
[Samsung Mesmerize] co6alt:
Does this ROM fix the Bluetooth stack so it will work with, say, a Wii remote controller app? Because in the stock touchwiz its broken, and I'm looking for a good ROM to fix it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Unfortunately not. The is essentially a stock, deodexed ROM. It just made it easier for people to build a personal ROM to their own liking. Hopefully someone will get that taken care of soon, because I have seen a lot of requests for this lately.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
I have successfully installed the clockworkmod... however when I try to flash the picknpack using rom manager, the phone reboots into recovery but I get E: signature verification blah blah blah installation aborted. I've read that its something to do with the device being rooted, but I'm kinda lost from here.... any help?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Are you trying to flash the zip file that you downloaded or have you unzipped it and followed the directions to build the ROM?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
I unzipped, compressed the system and meta and renamed it. Then I copied that to my sd card. I've also followed the directions to get clockwork to install correctly. I'm at the point in ROM manager where I choose to back up (though I can't because I get the same E: sign verfication stuff). It does the same thing when I choose install rom from sd card.

So I'm guessing I did build the rom correctly... basically just adding the removed apk's I still wanted to the system folder.

I have the one click lag fix installed on my phone right now, should I undo that and remove the ext2 tools? or does that not matter?...

Thanks for your help btw!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Personally I wouldn't use one click lag fix. I use voodoo instead. In any case, I don't think that that is the problem.

If you are able to get to CWM recovery, try to install through there. Just go to recovery, flash update.zip, and then you will be in CWM recovery. From there go to install zip from sdcard and find the zip and install.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
Is CWM recovery the same as holding the two volume keys and power at the same time? If so thats where I'm having the problem getting that error message.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Download quick boot to boot directly into recovery mode, that's what I've always used and it works wonders.

Phidelt told me to use it, glad I did.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
Thanks, but can I back up my current rom using that?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
No, it only reboots your phone. I use ROM Manager to backup my phone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
im trying to back up using ROM manager but when I tap backup current rom, it reboots into android sys recovery (samsung recover utils) and I get E: failed to verify whole-file signature, E: signature verification failed, Installation aborted. It tries to install from pakage... finding update package... opening update package.... verifying update package... but then I get that E: bullcrap.

Any idea how to get past this?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Did you install the files required for ROM Manager to work?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
Ok...I have got past the E: error thing through some trial and error. I never really had CWM working correctly, but it is now. I'm backing up my current rom before flashing the pick n pack... will keep you posted. Thanks for the quick responses. And once I flash the pick n pack, I do a factory reset correct?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I never did and mine is working fine. The directions say to, so it's up to you. I just forgot to do that step until now, haha.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
Good stuff... I got it to work successfully. No longer have any of those preinstalled bs apps. Thank ya much!
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Are you adding any apps or just using the ones that come with it?

If you are using the one that comes with it, unzip it and zip only the system and META-INF folder. Don't include the folder called removed .apks
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
Everything seems to be working well... I have flashed pick n pack rom, and the voodoo5 kernel... its currently rebooting now with some computer chick voice sayings restore operation and all sorts of craziness... I'll call her my voodoo child
[Samsung Mesmerize] afritchen:
Unrooting issue

Nope, not happening. I've flashed a couple roms/kernels and it hasn't unrooted itself.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Mine isn't doing that anymore, either. Only the first few times.

Strange....
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
so I flashed this and now that I'm back up and running, how do I get all my old apps back? I did a backup of my phone before flashing. do I have to download ROM manager again and use that somehow? or do I just have to go back and install everything again?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bcraft85:
You will need to go back and install everything again. I recommened getting appbrain because you can sync your apps to it and if you ever reset your phone, you will have easier access to downloading all the apps you had before resetting (as long as you sync it). From what I understand, the app market only keeps track of the apps you have purchased, not the free ones, and appbrain remembers them all. I could be wrong, someone please correct me if so.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
cool. thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Also, a good way to keep your apps' info is by using Titanium Backup. It will backup the apps, their data, plus your system info. This is helpful after a new ROM install when you want to put everything back quickly and keep game scores, contact info, alarms, ringtones, etc. This is what I use, and I flash my phone sometime up to 15 times a day. Very convenient for me.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
Another Link

Since Ge.tt can be slow sometimes I through this on my server so it will help to download it as well

Pick-n-Pack
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Thanks. I would have put it up on MediaFire, but then it needs to be split up. I may do that anyway, but thanks for the help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
So, ever since I flashed this ROM last night, my phone has been SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. I did a quad score before flashing and got 882-ish. then I did it about 30 min ago when I was on 3G and got a score in the 500's. then, just now on my wifi network, I got in the 400's. wtf? I dont have voodoo installed but so far, I'm tempted to go back to stock and just use voodoo till 2.2 comes out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It shouldn't get any slower than stock being that it is stock minus whatever you didn't put back in. Unless you've added a bunch extra after you flashed you should still be in the 800s. I still run the entire bloated ROM with everything plus about 30 more apps and still run in the 800s without voodoo. With voodoo, which I definitely recommend, I hit 1700 plus.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
yea, that's what I dont get. I'm running the same stuff I had before minus some of the USCC bloat and added in Root Manager and rooted with z4root.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
I just ran Quad again and got 605. odd...
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Quadrant isn't the end all be all either, but it's a start. Your scores will vary from time to time. Also try linpack for android. Without voodoo, I'm running 7.724 MFLOPS in 10.85 seconds. Not the greatest, by far. But I don't think that it's too bad considering how bloated my phone is right now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] kylenshaw:
Hi all!

So im flashing this pick n pack rom from the super clean 0.2/voodoo.

i added the apps i wanted. i then removed the removed apk folder and the read me, then zipped up the main folder using winrar and also 7zip. i get into the clockworkmod and find a zip to insall from sdcard.

finding update...

opening update...

installing update...

but the progress bar freezes and it just sits there. what could the issue be?

thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Don't zip the main folder, only zip META_IF and system.
[Samsung Mesmerize] kylenshaw:
Awesome it worked. Thank you!

good example of me trying to be too clever ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
yea, I'm sure you can take it for a grain of salt but still, my phone is noticably slower since. Not sure if I did something wrong or not. I selected the option to clear cache and data when I selected the rom from Rom Manager.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Try booting into recovery and installing the rom from the zip, bypass ROM Manager.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
Maybe I'll give that a shot.

I did run that other benchmark program and got 0.201 MFLOPS. Thats seems very low.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I install everything from Recovery. My mflops was 8.064 and my quadrant score was 1850.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
That is definitely low. Something is definitely wrong. I would try a reflash in recovery. If you are still having problems, let me know. I'd like to see if I can fix it for you.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
ok. I'm trying to flash from recovery. I used Quick Boot to boot in to recovery, selected sdcard:update.zip. then in the next menu, I select install from zip file and the screen goes blank. am I doing something wrong?

nevermind. I was hitting the wrong button to select in CWR. doh!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
yup, but not a big thing. Use the power button as select when in CWM recovery. Most people, including me, freak out the first time they do that and the screen goes blank.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
I got it to flash again. i also flashed voodoo while in there but i didnt here any voice like some people were saying happens. I did see some blue text briefly though. how do I know if it worked?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
PM Sent to you.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
with the help of skitzo_inc I reflashed and got voodoo installed. got a 1700+ quad score and 7.967 MFLOPS in 10.52 seconds. Much better. :D thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Good stuff. Skitzo is my right hand man! He has been helping others out with my stuff since the day I first helped him. I may have to give him a raise... lol

Glad to see those numbers up!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sophos1:
Are you sure you flashed a voodoo kernel? What you described sounds like what I saw flashing the nonvoodoo kernel...
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Greetings! This is my first post since getting my Mez 10 days ago. This sounds like the ROM I want to use. What gains in battery life (if any) will I see using this (with apps you've included) and Voodoo... going from a stock i500?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
When I started using the voodoo kernal I saw about a 50% battery life increase.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Wow. If that's with all else being =… then that's even more of a reason to root than the speed gains for me. Any reason I should wait for Froyo to root and voodoo this phone?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
You'll be able to flash back to stock in order to get the update, so why not make it faster now? :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
lol...yea, i was doing that. skitzo_inc helped me though it and I realized I was using the novoodoo one. :eek:
[Samsung Mesmerize] kylenshaw:
I also have this issue, but i wrote my question on the voodoo kernel thread.

I used the kernel 1221_test_voodoo_mesmerize. I forgot to mention that on the other thread :(
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Shoot me a message on gchat.
[Samsung Mesmerize] kylenshaw:
Um i think i did.. gmail right?

[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Yes, only you're not online for me to chat with you. :p
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Update coming

While working on the Showcase ROM, the idea came to me that it may be easier to make the ROM flashable like normal and make several update packages also. This way you can still pick what you want to be in your own ROM, but not have to work with putting things together yourself. In doing so, I believe this may be more desirable than the current configuration of the Pick-n-Pack.

I have updated the DI14 Pick-n-Pack ROM with this feature and will be uploading it shortly. I will update the OP when it is ready for download.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Updates made and uploaded. Ready for download.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
Thank You. Was looking for something new to play with.

Will Download and post back..
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
is the MMS issue fixed yet
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
MMS never had an issue in the PnP. I use stock MMS not AOSP.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
+1

stock MMS working just fine for me.

Though, I have had a couple times where my phone just rebooted on me. not sure what that's about. I believe both times I was in Messaging.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Haven't seen that one before. If you have a chance, and it happens again, can you get a logcat for me?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
what's a logcat?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Logcat is a neat debug tool that will dump a log of what your phone is doing. The cool thing, is that you don't even have to do it from the computer anymore because people have made apps that you can have right on your phone to do everything for you. Go to the market and download Error Log Dump. Once you get it downloaded, open it up and hit the menu key and then Log Clear and OK. This way if you end up sending me something, it isn't from the beginning of time. lol

When you have a problem, get into the program as soon as you can and click Log to logbox. This will dump the log to /sdcard/errlog and you can grab that file and send it to me. I can then look at it and see what happened. I can't guarantee that I could decipher what happened and fix the problem, but it's possible.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
cool! I'll do that if it happens again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
to tell you the truth, I found the other way easier instead of having to select each individual addon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I thought it was easier the other way, too, but there have been more downloads this way already than the other way. You could take one of the packages and unzip it, put all of the apk files in the /system/app folder and rezip META-INF and system to a zip file of your own naming. Then flash the ROM, and just one app pack.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
Is YouTube being excluded from the new version done on purpose?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
yea, after looking at the zips, i was wonder if i could just take out the apk from them and put them in the app folder.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
So i went and tried this rom and when i go and set up my gmail account it keeps crashing on me. (com.process.gapps or something like that) I have cleared factory reset/davlik cache, and many others and it will not keep crashing any ideas.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
Maybe try to flash again. I did it last nite with no issues.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Are you flashing through recovery? Or clockwork?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Looks like I'm going to flash this Rom because I am not getting any voicemail notifications in super clean with the voodoo kernel. Very glad there are at least a few options to try before going back to full stock.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I have zero issues running this rom. I have gotten several voicemails and it lets me know. :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
This ROM appears to be working much better than what I was running. With Voodoo, it is even better. Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Trying to install the email.apk, but it doesn't want to install via Droid Explorer... Any ideas. I need this app or an alternative.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Figured it out. Just dropped the apk onto the Sd card and installed via Root Explorer.
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
Just installed on my mes with voodoo kernel. So far I love this rom! Thank you so much!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You are very welcome. This is just the beginning. More to come, hopefully very soon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
I have done both. ATM I have flashed back to stock , rooted, and removed bloot I may try again Later.

I plan on making my own rom soon for everyone to enjoy. Have to finish setting up my PC with Linux so i can start deving
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
Any one having problem with gmail when I delete my emails they are gone on my phone but not online and my phone still shows the number of emails I have but you don't see them. I have to go online and delete them.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
That happens all the time to me, even on stock. On other phones too. I'll flash a new firmware and get email that I deleted 2 days before.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
Does anyone have a link to the old version? I'm just curious..

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I have the original version saved on my pc.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Okay, I've read through the whole thread, and I have everything in order to flash the ROM, but I can't seem to figure out the "build" process.

I went back to see if I missed something in the OP, but I don't see any instructions.

I gather I need to extract the archive, then re-zip some of the files, but which ones?

Can someone post or link to a clear set of instructions for which files go where and how they need to be packaged?

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Actually, the way I built this new version, just flash the ROM. Then flash the individual packages that you want after that.

If you want everything in one package to flash at once, you would need to pull the apk files from each of the smaller packages and put them into /system/app of the ROM package. If you unzip everything, you would only want to zip back the META-INF and system folders together. No folder holding them.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
I just flashed the PnP and now my phone wont boot past the screen with the big S in the middle and Galaxy S at the bottom. voodoo is disabled. I cleared cache and data.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Did you wipe data/factory reset? Sometimes you will have to do that with a ROM flash.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
yea, I did that. do I do it before or after? I did it after.

I tried to reflash the ROM and still just sat there. I ended up flashing stock and going to try again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] lilzone:
Is anyone having connecting bluetooth? Cant seem to connect any of my 3 pieces. Any help would help out alot, I need my bluetooth. Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Were you able to connect to them from stock? Did you change your kernel?
[Samsung Mesmerize] lilzone:
Yes, I was able to connect using stock and I am also running clean rom now with voodoo, I know this is suppose to be based off of that rom, why the confusion. Thank you for the quick reply.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No confusion. This is pertinent information that is needed to figure out what your problem is. Being that you are running the super clean ROM it makes me wonder why you would ask the question in the PnP ROM thread. None the less, the problem probably has to do with the kernel.
[Samsung Mesmerize] lilzone:
I asked here because this is the rom I like and mms works really good. So you thinking it is the kernal, should I just go without or do you have any suggestions? I really do appreciate your help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
So you had the voodoo kernel installed with the PnP, which has ALL of the dependencies left in it, and bluetooth didn't work so you changed ROMs to the super clean which has LOTS of the dependencies taken out and it still doesn't work. So you came to the PnP thread to ask the question about non-working bluetooth back in the PnP thread.

I'm not trying to be short. I'm just trying to follow the logic. I'm always available to help people out as best I can, but anyone that is going to help people needs all of the information to troubleshoot problems correctly. Yes, I think the problem is in the kernel. I personally haven't tried to use bluetooth so I can't give you personal experience, but I haven't heard of others having problems you might check in the kernel forum.
[Samsung Mesmerize] lilzone:
Yes, had PnP rom and bluetooth didnt work, so I went to a backup of a super clean and my bluetooth works, both using the same kernal (voodoo enabled). I am going to do a clean install of PnP and try with stock kernal then check and so on. Again I do appreciate the help!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Anybody else notice that if sending a picture as an email from the camera app that it is adding a signature that says ' Sent from my Cellular South Galaxy S'?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
oops

lol... Sounds like I may have taken a shortcut that night and made a few apk flashables for one and used them for both. I'll get that corrected. It'll be in the email app itself, since that's the apk that is in the app pack.

That was a long night.

--also, you can just change the signature. It's just auto set to that at start, not a big change.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Ah, gotcha. No big deal, just thought it was funny. I found where to change it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
phidelt I attempted to send you a PM but I don't show anything in my sent folder so I don't know if it went through.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Nevermind I figured out I didn't have it setup to save my sent messages.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
You took the backup WITH voodoo enabled?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Good question. Hey, hop on our channel on irc real quick.
[Samsung Mesmerize] lilzone:
Yes I did, shouldnt have I know, but for some odd reason everything is working good. I dont know what happened but it's all good now, thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Okay folks, need a little help.

I flashed this ROM and absolutely LOVE it!

It's super fast and most everything works fine.

The only issue I have is with the calendar app.

I understand that the OEM calendar app was ripped out, so I assumed I could just install one from the market or whatever.

However, even when I install one (Touch Calendar Free, in this case) it still doesn't show up in the system.

I can launch the app and see the month view, but if I try to add an event, it's like the OS can't find some calendar foundation files or something, the "calender" pulldown menu is just empty. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Elmojo
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You need to download the Addons zip also. It has all of the apps that were taken out in flashable zips. One of those has the touchwiz calendar in it which also has the touchwiz calendar provider. That's probably what you need for it to work.

If that doesn't work, let me know and we'll try something else, but I'm sure that's probably the issue.
