Thanks for this! Nice
[Epic 4G Themes] BlackPearl890:
love this!! .. would it be possible to get a shutdown animation too? cause there's one here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10926995&postcount=4 but it's not compatible with cwm3, nor does it have your customizations which I love.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Themes] leatherneck6017:
Thanks for reminding me! I had originally intended to do just that, but completely spaced it. I've attached it here and updated the OP. Certain kernel limitations forced me to shorten the sequence.
[Epic 4G Themes] BlackPearl890:
Nice! I'll flash now & let you know how it works :) thnx!
[Epic 4G Themes] BlackPearl890:
shutdown works perfect! love it!! thanks!!!
[Epic 4G Themes] narddawg314:
why am I dumb?

I can't ever get any of these to work...I install custom ROM's and widget mod's through CWM3 all the time, and boot ani's just never seem to work. I'm running Viper ROM now. I've downloaded the .zip, boot into recovery, choose install .zip, go to the file, install it....system says, it was installed properly, reboot..same boot screen as before.

what am I missing?

UPDATE: The shutdown loaded correctly, and it's awesome....still having issues with the bootup though. harumph.
[Epic 4G Themes] DeeODoubleD:
This worked, but then I started getting a bunch of FC's. Then I ran ROM Manager permissions fix and it got rid of most of the FC's except for google framework which is very important. I have no idea how this could have caused these issues. But after restoring my nandroid backup (Thank God I backed up!) everything was back to normal.
[Epic 4G Themes] narddawg314:
what is ROM Manager permissions fix?? and also nandroid??

I use titanium backup and also backup with CWM..something I should be doing differently?
[Epic 4G Themes] DeeODoubleD:
When you three-finger-boot into ClockworkMod recovery there's a backup/restore and it's called nandroid backup. It works very well backing up everything on your phone system/data/settings, everything.

The custom ROM I have came with the ROM Manager apk (which is run on the phone). It has an option to fix permissions which corrects the file permissions of all of your apps and data for root access in case permissions get corrupted. Sometimes when you install a new mod/zip the file permissions either get corrupted or are not given (I'm no dev, so I don't know the specifics). If you get a lot of ForceCloses this will fix them in most cases.

I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm 99% sure it was from installing this shutdown animation and after restoring (again through CWM3) it works fine now.

Hope that helped.
[Epic 4G Themes] narddawg314:
I booted into CWM right after posting that and found the fix permissions option you were talking about. I had already been performing the nandroid backups, but didn't know they were called that. Thanks for the quick response!

I'm still not able to get the boot animation to work though. The power down worked, and it's pretty cool....anybody got any ideas?
[Epic 4G Themes] ZHkilla:
Good looking out bro, This animation always stayed in my Moment as a back up cause I liked it so much.
[Epic 4G Themes] narddawg314:
maybe this...?

could it be because my kernel is 2.6.32.9?
[Epic 4G Themes] leatherneck6017:
That's the same kernel I'm on. Should work just fine, perhaps there is some conflict with the new ViperROM? Haven't tested it on that ROM since I first released this. I know they have lots of modifications, even to the kernel I believe.
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
You need to have a kernel that supports boot animation chnges. Mammon was the one who did this for 2.1, I believe he was the one who did it for 2.2 as. Well.

ATTENTION, THIS IS FOR TELUS FASCINATE USERS ONLY! (ANDROID 2.2 FROYO)

Okay, so the Telus Fascinate (T959D) is basically the same phone as the T-mobile Vibrant. The only thing stopping us from using Vibrant ROMs was not having the right kernel to flash on top. That is no longer the case, as supercurio has recently injected the Telus Fascinate stock 2.2 JL3 kernel with Voodoo and Clockwork Recovery for us.

So, here is a complete guide to installing Vibrant ROMs on the Telus Fascinate. I have been using Team Whiskey's Nero 5 with Voodoo enabled, 100% working. All the required files are attached.

Note: Please don't send me any messages saying "My phone broke! It's your fault!" This guide worked flawlessly for me, and you all know the risk involved in flashing your phones. There is a reason doing so voids your warranty. That being said, there should not be any issues if you simply follow the instructions correctly.

1. Use Titanium Backup to back up all apps and settings/data

2. Flash stock Telus Fascinate 2.2 ROM using Odin

****ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE COMING FROM A CUSTOM ROM. IF YOUR PHONE IS STILL STOCK, YOU MAY SKIP THIS STEP****

3. Use SuperOneClick to root the phone

4. Flash supercurio's Stock+Voodoo kernel using Odin

5. Install your desired custom ROM using Clockwork Recovery

****MAKE SURE THAT THE ROM YOU WANT TO INSTALL DOES NOT HAVE A BOOTLOADER INCLUDED. IF IT DOES IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. BROWSE THE .ZIP, AND CHECK THE "UPDATES" FOLDER, AND LOOK FOR "SBL.BIN" OR "BOOT.BIN". IF THEY EXIST, DELETE THEM AND REMOVE THE REFERENCE TO THEM (SINGLE LINE FOR EACH) IN THE "UPDATE SCRIPT" FILE, WHICH IS FOUND IN /META-INF/com/google/android/****

6. Disable Voodoo

****ONLY DO THIS IF THE ROM YOU JUST FLASHED HAS VOODOO INSTALLED & ENABLED BY DEFAULT. OTHERWISE, YOU MAY SKIP THIS STEP****

7. Flash supercurio's Stock+Voodoo kernel using Clockwork Recovery

8. Flash Telus modem

9. Enable Voodoo (Optional)

10. Use Titanium Backup to restore all apps and settings/data

11. Recalibrate battery

12. Done!!!!

You should now have a 100% functional custom ROM...Enjoy.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Well, i have supercurio's kernel flashed, with voodoo enabled.

I'm not sure which step to start at to be honest.

And i flashed the custom kernel through SGS Kernel Flasher, so do i have to flash back to stock and do this process all over again?
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
If you are currently running a stock ROM with supercurio's kernel, then you would jump to the part that comes after installing the stock ROM and supercurio's kernel (i.e. flashing the custom ROM). Just disable Voodoo first.

If you are currently running a custom ROM, then yes, it is recommended to go back to stock before flashing a new custom ROM. Some ROM developers have made it so that you can flash their newer versions over older versions of the same ROM, but make sure that's the case before you do so. And it's always recommended to disable Voodoo before flashing anything.
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
Great Post Samperlmutar;

Just one suggestion if I may, you didn't mention to boot into clockwork AFTER you flash the final final voodoo kernel so you can enable voodoo lagfix...if you want it.

I have voodoo enable and this phone is crazy fast.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Thank you.

Btw, why do you flash supercurio's kernel twice, on step 4 and 7?
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
You have to flash it the first time to get to clockwork recovery, then when you flash the vibrant rom the supercurio kernel will get overwrited, therefore it needs to be flashed again.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Wouldn't flashing other phone's roms brick our phone?

Unless the custom rom is compatible with supercurio's kernel. Not sure.
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
Damn. I spent 15 minutes looking it over and I totally missed that lol. Thanks, I will put that in.
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
No. That's why I specified to use ROMs for the Vibrant, it's virtually the same phone. They work almost perfectly even if you don't flash a Telus kernel/modem. The only consistent issues with unmodified Vibrant ROMs on the Telus Fascinate are (1) Volume buttons swapped, (2) No wireless service, and (3) USB connection causes reboot. Each of these issues are fixed by flashing a compatible kernel/modem.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Can we use themes created for Nero v5?
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
I haven't used any themes, but they should definitely work without any problems. Themes don't affect the kernel or the modem, and those two elements are the only things that we changed from the original Vibrant ROMs.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Alright, thanks for your quick reply.

And thanks for this guide. Working great. xD
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
First time noob here! I have several questions regarding this install

1) I'm not so familiar with Odin. Can I use sgs kernel flasher instead?

2) If i mess up during the process, is there any method to go back to the stock?

3) Will any T-mobile vibrant rom work on telus fascinate?

4)What do they mean by remove lagfix in step 5?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
1) The steps where I say to use Odin use files made for Odin, so no...they can't be used for anything else. Download Odin from the attachments and check it out. It's really easy to use and should make perfect sense if you follow the instructions closely.

2) That's what step 2 does. If you mess up at any time, you can just perform step 2 and everything will be back to stock.

3) From my experience, yes.

4) If you started from step 1, then you don't have a lag-fix installed. This is just an extra warning for those who jumped straight to installing the ROM, that might have been running stock w/ a custom kernel already (and thus may have installed a lag-fix).
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
Sorry for the repost XD
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
awesome!!!!! Thanks for the answers!!!:) :) :)
[Fascinate Android Development] spydr11:
Help! I was going through the steps everything running smoothly. I installed Nero 5 from the zip, checked reboot and now I have nothing. No download mode, no recovery, nothing!
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
For odin, do we have to download any .pit file?

I researched about odin articles and it seems that I need the pit file. Can anyone

help me with this? Thanks! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] daoom:
Ok, now that people have started bricking because they aren't making sure that what they're flashing is compatible with their phones, it's time to take a few steps back and add a little caution. For all their similarities, the Vibrant and our (Telus) Fascinates are NOT the same phone.

Before you flash ANYTHING you need to first extract and examine the update script to make sure it's not flashing a bootloader or some such thing that WILL brick your phone.

What you need to do is look at the blocks (i.e. stuff under /dev/block/) it's flashing and anything outside of modem.bin and zImage (kernel) should be a red flag telling you to stay away from this ROM. In fact, if you have any Kung-Fu skills you can just replace the model and kernel files with the Telus or I9000 ones you want to use and re-sign the zip file to keep from having to flash and re-flash.
[Fascinate Android Development] 08cherd4:
Thanks so much, I have been waiting on this since i unlocked my phone. Let the installing begin:D

EDIT: My phone seems to be stuck on download mode: ODIN does not want to recognize it so I cannot flash(right word?) the Stock+Voodoo-Froyo.tar file.

EDIT: FIXED: Boot into recovery mode: VOL up + VOL down. Then click reboot with power button, then immediately hold VOL down
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
I flashed the no-wipe 1.2 update...i checked it first of course and it was free of sbl and boot.bin's. Gps wont work still...
[Fascinate Android Development] nosaj97:
Darky's 9.3 beta out... looks like a lot of nice updates...Only thing that worries me is that he is planning on integrating a custom cwm... but i dont quite understand.. he says its not going to be part of the kernel so maybe it wont effect our phone? dont have time to mess with my phone right now but will try over my reading week. If anyone has anything to report on it that would be great. This guy really works on this rom..
[Fascinate Android Development] Matridom:
I may give darky 9.3 a try on my test phone. I'm currently running Cyanogen 7 and frankly, even though it's a little buggier then darky, I like it more. There is just something about running 2.3 on the phone that I find very seductive.
[Fascinate Android Development] koocheese:
yup, ive got it running now, its alright... it does seem a little quicker than darky, navigating through the menu & such.

I can confirm that gps broke after going to bionix, darky worked great.

only problem i have with darky was my wifi would work for half a day after a reboot, but it would cycle on and off constantly afterwards, the system would give up and state "error" in the wifi menu.

yes, i did have the wifi drivers installed via the darky configurator.

should i try without?
[Fascinate Android Development] nosaj97:
ok so installed 9.3 beta no wipe straight over 9.2 no problems... although im seeing no discernible difference aside from the boot animation.. the biggest thing should be improved batt life but I wont be able to tell that until i have it up for a few days. Heres hoping.

Update:

Enabling USB debug seemed to fix the usb mount notification not coming up.

Still mounting internal as CD drive.

Couple of random reboots when i unmounted from usb(never had one reboot on 9.2)

I think i was happier on 9.2 but i will give one more day to try.. i have also been fing with a lot of new apps.. trying to find a decent music player/sync combo so that could have something to do with instability.

I will try and report back on battery on a more regular day(tomorrow should do)

FYI getting gps lock of 10m inside my house.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
For the mounting issue

try this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931690

I Had a same problem, but i fixed it with that. It happens when your system is running 2.2.1, but you are using 2.2 kernel or when your system is 2.2 but running 2.2.1 kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] nosaj97:
which kernel are you using now then?
[Fascinate Android Development] :
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9804784&postcount=5741

actually try this link it has more detail on it.I think stock voodoo t959D kernel is a 2.2 kernel.

But im suing i9000 Speedmod kernel with darkys rom.

I remapped the search key as back key

and back and home(these keys are working as a one single key) key as a home key.

So on the bottom soft key im using (menu,home,home,back) original is (menu,home,back,search)

you can remap your key with button remaper application

p.s. sorry for my bad english!
[Fascinate Android Development] nosaj97:
Oh, thank you for that, that makes sense... so you are just ticking off speedmod in the configurator instead of no kernel. Simple enough.

Not only do I not care about the search key, I also now get BLN and Voodoo Sound capability... and the volume buttons arent even messed up! Fantastic.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
:) yeap!! good luck with your phone:eek:

[Fascinate Android Development] madizmo:
Just installed darkys rom and followed the directions on here, flashed the telus voodoo kernel and telus radio and everything is just amazing. I don't know how, but the gps fix is like 10-15 seconds and was only about 5 to 10 feet off of where i was standing and when driving with navigation it was exactly where we were on the road. This is the first rom ive every flashed other then flashing the voodoo kernel when it was first released and i was a bit nervous but if you follow the directions as listed it is actually very simple and definately worth the little time that it took, it's like i have a whole new phone. Thanks devs and thank you for this forum op.
[Fascinate Android Development] marcusivany:
Sorry I took so long to post what happened but I just want to let those of you who also bricked your phones that I got my phone back from Telus working 100%. I never got to look at the sheet saying exactly what was wrong but I know they replaced some component to resolve the issue. I think I might have seen GPU replaced from the quick glance I got. Either way, I'm now back up and running, rooted, and am currently on Darky's ROM 9.3 Beta3 and loving it!
[Fascinate Android Development] marcusivany:
Has anyone tried any other ROM's worth mentioning? I know Bionix and Darky's are a couple that people have had success with. I'm used to having a new ROM to flash almost every day on my Desire but I'm a little more cautious with my Fascinate considering bricked it only a month I bought it! lol I'm considering trying CM7 like Matridom, but I'm not sure if it's worth the risk with the few issues it does have. Anyone else have a ROM they have tried or are wanting to try?
[Fascinate Android Development] Matridom:
I've not looked at other roms, there are always issues regardless of what you go with, it's more a matter of finding one where the limitations are acceptable. Untill someone comes along and knows how to modify the existing kernels to fix button issues on our phone, we will always be limited in choices.

It's looking like a good chance the Nexus S is comming to the big three this spring or summer, I'm probably going to move to that phone when it comes out.
[Fascinate Android Development] marcusivany:
Although I am interested in the nexus s and it would present a lot of possibilities for ROMs and such, I'm fairly intrigued in the first dual core phone to be released (the atrix 4g) which bell will have in the next couple of months! And I saw an article on the xda homepage about how someone has already rooted the atrix. There is a lot of potential there in the dual core world.

running bionix 1.3 with stock kernel no voodoo. so far so good, no issue to report.

i odin'd back to stock and started from scratch so no irregularities would show up.

the i9000 gingerbread release has been leaked as of today(at least on xda) so i can assume that we will be getting some real gingerbread soon.. Id flash the one they have but i need my phone too much and dont know enough about looking through the code to know if it will botch my phone. EDIT: looks like someone tried it and it didnt go so well. and the gingerbread roms are apparently pretty bad anyway.. we will have to wait until the real deal for now.

If so what steps did you use?
[Fascinate Android Development] madizmo:
i'm using darkys v3 final, this rom is just amazing. i just flased through cwm and then flahed back the telus radio and the stock voodoo kernel. I installed darky rom configurator first and selected wipe the device, alternate wifi driver and left everything else the same. i actually am going back to the kernel that flashes with the rom because voodoo sound is awesome and i dont mind having search button as home button to be able to have it. hope this helps

Edit: i was on darky 9.2 before i flashed 9.3 if that matters at all
