i'm uploading the rom to alternate sites now, i'll post a link as soon as i can.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
Thanks, been stuck at 1 percent on rom manger for 40 minutes now haha.

Also thanks for your awesome work.
[Fascinate Android Development] phooky:
so strange that so many people disagreed with me on your other thread.. yet your other thread was closed:confused::confused: it now just reads "Do not post ROMs requiring paid memberships for access."

i guess the xda moderators agreed with me? :p

either way, i'm glad you got rid of that paid ****. i can't wait to try this out once you get some working mirrors
[Fascinate Android Development] je2345:
thanks for the mirror! Is the mirrored link .zip suppose to be 20mb less than the other link?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
2 new mirrors up in OP
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
File says Blackhole 2.4.1, is it still the corect one?
[Fascinate Android Development] cj1171:
I am concerned about trying to flash that as well...
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
awwww crap!! in my sleep deprived delirium i uploaded the wrong file. Sorry guys, gimmie a few more minutes.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
Just take a nap and do it later because it's always worth the wait. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] hd0120:
I followed your instructions in page 3 and downloaded the file Blackhole_Fascinate_4.01, is it the correct file?

I then went back to Rom Manager and did all the steps per your instructions but I did not see any progress. Any idea?

Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
First mirror of correct file is up now, second is uploading.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
If you downloaded the Blackhole_Fascinate_4.01.zip and put it in the correct folder on your sdcard, then go in and choose download rom and pick your options it will skip past the rom download. if you already have a download in progress and put the file in it won't automatically move on, you'll have to cancel the download and start over.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Hmmmm.... http://www.androiddoes.net/ is also taking forever to load the forum page.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
for the low signal issue: I have had a few people complain about it, and it seems that i'm having the same issues myself now, had a couple calls roll straight to voicemail despite the phone being on. Not sure what is causing it, unless there's something wrong with the modem. I'm going to try flashing some other versions and testing them out to see if signal changes, and if everything still works ok (sms mainly)
[Fascinate Android Development] dashultz:
Long boot times

Is it just me or are the boot times slow for EB01/Blackhole - I'm not sure which but it takes approximatly 3-4 minutes for my phone to boot up. Anyone else experiencing this?

Installed EB01, then the next day I installed black hole 4.2. Everything has been working fine now for about 2 weeks except the boot time is terribly long.

Thanks,

Dan
[Fascinate Android Development] spenceuiuc:
Is anybody else having problems with Miren browser on this ROM? Miren's settings menu is closing on me about 20 sec after I open the settings menu and occasionally FCing all together.

I tried uninstalling and re-downloading from the market. Is this likely a ROM-related issue or a pure app issue (sorry if this post is misplaced).
[Fascinate Android Development] spenceuiuc:
I am also having problems installing themes: I tried to flash Revo through clockwordmod and it just sends me into a bootloop. I also tried installing it manually CWM recovery as well. No luck. Ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] interpol909:
I notice on this rom under wifi setting there is an option for usb tethering is this option free of charge?
[Fascinate Android Development] cesium:
Any chance of an update soon with EB16 and the CWM 3.x patch?
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
I am experiencing some issues like widgets not refreshing as they should, launcher pro needs to redraw after but, only after leaving the browser, missed calls due to low signal, gmail app not syncing properly, beautiful widgets displaying a city that's 120 miles away when set on geolocation, dropped calls in areas I used to have full signal. That is the list of bugs that stand out to me and please don't take this post as a complaint because I still love this rom. Also is this like 2.2 on the droid where we shouldn't use task killers because they don't play nice with jit?????????

My phone thinks its smarter than me
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
YutzyScott: I promise I'm not ignoring your issues, just hoping the version I'm working on now (EB16 and CWM 3.0 compatible) will fix these issues. It's a bit more difficult than most versions because I have to learn how the CWM 3.0 install scripts work, and convert every single flasher in rom manager (apps mostly, themers and moders are updating their installers themselves, saves a little work). I'm hoping I'll have the stand-alone flasher ready for VIP's tomorrow, and a working rom/modify existing in rom manager on monday when i relelease publicly.
[Fascinate Android Development] hindustani8:
can anyone point me to where I can find some pic for blackhole rom for fascinate? thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] ignitros:
Hey everyone.... I was hoping that I might pick your brains for a lil help. I just got another new Fascinate and I'm having all sorts of trouble getting everything installed and working correctly. Following the same steps I did with my Fascinate I get everything done then end up stuck at the boot screen.

I'm installing the stock EB01_DXC.tar.md5 file that I got from this thread http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sam...ed-2-11-a.html using ODIN. Then I install ROM Manager premium and install CWM and it now installs v3.0.0.8. I then follow the steps included in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021 to fix CWM, I use the ODIN version and then install Blackhole v4.21 that I downloaded from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940456. After all that everything seems to be working good but then I go into ROM manager and try to modify the ROM to do the themes and stuff that you get in the step by step and all I get is stuck at the boot screen.

Is there a better way of doing what I want to do cause I'm just getting frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] ignitros:
I finally got most everything working but I'm having troubles with the 3D Gallery and picasa sync. When I go into gallery it's not showing any picasa stuff and when I go into my accounts and sync it doesn't show the picasa sync option like it does on my other Fascinate. I've seen in previous versions of Blackhole the option called "Mediaupload.apk" in regard to this problem. I was wondering if this could be missing as I was only able to manually install everything vs the easier step by step option I used on my other Fascinate. Where can I download it and is there anything special I need to do to install it?
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
I can't say with one hundred percent certainty (because I'm sleepy), but I think I remember that not every version of Gallery3D that is floating around actually has the Picasa feature. I think the version from the stock EB01 works though (and it seems to be optimized with GPU acceleration for our phones better than AOSP compiled version).
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
Thanks for the reply. I don't want you to get the impression that I am complaining because I am not. Fact is this is still the only rom series worthy of my phone. I was just pointing out my issues because maybe someone might have a fix for ones that have been encountered before. I am patiently awaiting the next installment and I'm sure that it will be even more fun than this one. Or why bother at all right? In closing there is still a question of mine that is as of yet unanswered. Do taskillers work with 2.2 on the fascinate or do they actually hinder performance because they clash with jit?

My phone thinks its smarter than me
[Fascinate Android Development] atraitees:
I have been running Task Killer with 2.2 since it came out. No issues at all here.

Looking forward to the new install scripts. As it is now, all I get is an error telling me that the current 1.5 scripts are no longer compatible with CW... I suppose I will have to keep my current configuration until sonofskywalker, in all his awesomeness, fixes the issue. I'm sure it won't take him long. It never does.

Edit: The message I'm getting is:

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to crate working update zip packages.

Hope this helps somebody...
[Fascinate Android Development] drumtrucker:
I guess SOS is finding this new environment more of a challenge that he thought, since haven't heard anything for a couple of days since he hoped to post update 'tomorrow'.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
There seems to be little oddities that popup in different places using edify on our phones. At this point, I'm not sure that anyone has nailed down all of them, since they seem to only happen on certain configurations and not others. It might be the new clockwork recovery that ROM manager uses might not be fully compatible yet, or it might be an issue with something else.

Needless to say, if SOS is slow to release because of this, it is a good thing because it will cause a flood of weird problems if it is set up wrong.
[Fascinate Android Development] spenceuiuc:
Feature request: user-defined auto brightness levels

I have a feature request for this ROM:

Can you add a feature so that the brightness levels (auto brightness) can be set by the user to custom levels?

Since our screens chug so much juice, it seems like it would be a great way for each user to tweak our battery consumption from screen use and general improve user-experience.

It's just an idea, and I have no idea how hard it would be to implement--- might be unreasonable.

Thanks SOS for all your hard work--- I'll continue to donate for your hard work!
[Fascinate Android Development] hindustani8:
can anyone post blackhole battery icon zip file? I tried modifying and something went wrong. Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
yeah, all the rom manager traffic is slowing down their website too. I really didn't expect this much of a problem.

Posting second mirror and going to sleep =)
[Fascinate Android Development] 40kalkillah:
As you can clearly see...V.I.P has its benefits ; )

I actually like my Fascinate with 4.0
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
Anyone else getting a ROM download error? This happens to me when i try to get some browser (error occured for stock, firefox and dolphin)
[Fascinate Android Development] je2345:
same here...waited all this time and got error occured when tryin to dl stock browser.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Don't feel bad. I think its kinda cool to see this many people loving the Blackhole ROM! I wasn't gonna touch any of the DL30 ROM's and wait for yours. I think I'm not alone on this. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
Ill wait till tomorrow or even the next day. Finally got 2.2 and definitely not in a rush to get roms haha.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Agreed, didn't see the VIP thing til its too late.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Rooting my replacement Fascinate phone so that I can flash CWM and flash BH 3.0 for now while 4.01 is still downloading. I don't think I'll have the joy of having Froyo on my cell til tomorrow morning.
[Fascinate Android Development] WhiteRocks:
Mi

You gotta feel good in a way that this much traffic is coming your way these roms are huge for as many people that have them yall are the ones that put them together and share with the world so congrats and thanks both...

Blue Super Froyo
[Fascinate Android Development] hd0120:
Same here ............... ROM download error at stock browser.
[Fascinate Android Development] CGriffiths86:
Did any of you guys get the De-binged stock browser downloaded that can upload the file? My download keeps stopping at that part.

*EDIT* Nevermind..a lot of these parts aren't downloading. Forget it for now.
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
do the manual install via the zip file...
[Fascinate Android Development] CGriffiths86:
Where can I download these seperate zip files? Through Rom manager theey wont download.
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
iofthestorm.zip - includes the samsung deskclock with clock package (alarm clock, stopwatch, world clock, timer) and Thinkfree Office

mising.zip - includes the above apps plus the Memo app

Just right-click, choose "save as" and enjoy.

thats from the closed thread for 4.0, is that what you were needing?
[Fascinate Android Development] woolster22:
Say I have the browser already on superclean dl30...If I choose nevermind I should be fine no?
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
Are they not all bundled in the zip file in the OP first post? He gives instructions on where to place the .zip and then have clockwork pull from that.
[Fascinate Android Development] phatmhat:
all i ever get is download error or very, very slow download speeds.

i'd be happy with the gingerbread keyboard to use on the 1.0 superclean.
[Fascinate Android Development] kipnukmals:
I tried to download in rom manager but the download went on for 2 1/2 hours and only reached 30%. Tried it three times and finally gave up.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
If you read the first post, there are mirrors for it. Either way, in order to download the other things (browser, etc) you probably have to wait a while as people are getting download errors.
[Fascinate Android Development] azreedtech:
Stop being cheap! Just be thankful he didn't keep it to himself! Wait longer if it bothers you so bad. Its hard enough getting developers to join the fascinate side. Then to have someone crying about a dev trying to help out a host site so this one won't be so jammed up. These guys work hard enough as it is. Just be happy you get as much free as you do. I wouldn't blame them if they all moved to irc!
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
More mirrors...

Just figured since I am always around leeching stuff, I would return the favor. I have downloaded the "Blackhole_Fascinate_4.01.zip" file and immediatly started uploading it to my 4shared.com and FileServe.com accounts to help ease the stress of bandwidth. If I am feeling frisky I might even upload the other parts, thats of course if it's ok. When it finishes uploading I'll post the links. If anyone else wants them uploaded to a different file sharing company let me know.

-Stephen

P.S. Let me know if this is okay, Son of Sky Walker
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
Internet Speed Throttle

Does anyone know if this has the Bandwidth Throttle removed? If not will the other patch for it work with this rom. Also I HAVE to have tether... I've always used Wireless Tether... is there anything special I need to do now. If so what... Thanks

-Stephen
[Fascinate Android Development] woolster22:
Tether is a no go unless you feel like paying for until more kernels are available. Atleast that is my understanding of things.
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
I have seen that you can change the way Mobile Hotspot Connects... (changing the credentials) Can this be done on Froyo?
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
gah, even with the ROM downloaded already, Clockwork is crawling. I want this ROM but I feel like it's never going to finish.
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
As promised...

As Promised!

[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
is this just the ROM only? I have that...it's the extras that are taking forever.
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
This is just the rom... In a little bit I am going to pull the extras
[Fascinate Android Development] ataranine:
Wow...first time I bOoted it up the setup wizard crashed and I'm left with a black screen every time I boot it..and for some odd reason my recovery doesn't work right unless I boot into it from rom manager.
[Fascinate Android Development] redgryphon:
First of all thanx to SonofSkyWalker, jt, kaos, birdman and any other devs who have helped us fascinate owners.

Are there any known bugs with this release?

Screenshots if possible please.

Thanx
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
I don't even know if anyone has got it installed besides Sonofskywalker himself. The files aren't downloading, his host is down apparently.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
Could you sound more ungrateful or pretentious?
[Fascinate Android Development] redgryphon:
oh, i didn't realize. i downloaded it fine from here.

just wondering before i took the plunge.
[Fascinate Android Development] tlogank:
the ROM is easy to get, it's all the other stuff...and that seems to pull from this other site he pushes.
[Fascinate Android Development] redgryphon:
oh, sorry, didn't realize. thanx.
[Fascinate Android Development] imneveral0ne:
little to buggy for me. thanks anyways though!
[Fascinate Android Development] woolster22:
4.0, launcher pro and the blue theme. Now only for the acc batt mod...

Mmmmm...Froyo!
[Fascinate Android Development] woolster22:
Haven't run into any bugs yet...only an hour or two into running the rom though. At this point it seems butter smooth. Id say it is about the same as superclean, although both ran fine for me...

Mmmmm...Froyo!
[Fascinate Android Development] dalrym05:
So this my be stupid but what does it mean when it says you have to push a launcher to it? Do I need to do this adb style or is this an option to select one of the launcher when installing this rom. I have adw ex already do I still need to install a different one? I don't have to wipe the system do I? Can I just get away with wiping dalvik?
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Getting FC on the Touchwiz Calendar. I wanted to use the LP calendar skin in conjunction with it. Any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
I keep getting download errors first from

Firefox and now from stock music when trying to download from rom manager
[Fascinate Android Development] interpol909:
Do I need new CWM to install Blackhole v4.01. I read the "How to Install dl30" and it states need to install new CWM does that apply to this rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Yeah
[Fascinate Android Development] interpol909:
Thank you!
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Np
[Fascinate Android Development] Bxsteez:
Same here. I get download errors for stock browser.
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
I tried downloading the one in OP but I didn't first have the VIP version so I guess that constitutes a never ending android screen
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
So sorry guys, while I was fixing my manifest last night i somehow moved the apps folder into the bootanimations folder throwing off my whole file structure. it's been fixed now, downloads can resume, and everything that has been downloaded so far is safe on your sdcard, so you don't have to start all over, just pick up from where you left off. Sorry again.

Edit: I'm also uploading a stand alone version with stock browser, launcher pro, and a few other essentials so you wont have to flash a seperate launcher.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Actually new cwm is included with jt's bootanimation kernel so if you flash it (which you have to at this point if you go through rom manager) it will also flash new cwm for you.
[Fascinate Android Development] hd0120:
The download error happens now at the multi-touch keyboard.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bxsteez:
Download error at Gallery 3D now for me... This is getting a bit frustrating.
[Fascinate Android Development] CGriffiths86:
I'm glad you fixed the file structure, but now Rom Manager isn't pulling up any of your roms info at all now. I'll give it a little bit for the servers to balance out.
[Fascinate Android Development] ataranine:
Ok so I'm completely restoring my phone to stock unrooted in Odin because for some reason it wasn't necessary to include a launcher with the ROM, making my phone useless.

And there was no way I could push a file to my phone because it never acknowledges that it's plugged into a computer at all.

Let me know when you decide to fix that.
[Fascinate Android Development] dalrym05:
So is anyone running this Tom and if so is battery better then the Frito leak itself. My phone lost 37% battery just sitting doing nothing last night on my nightstand. CPU usage is always around 30% even when nothing is running. Can't figure it out.
[Fascinate Android Development] kvaughan:
If you knew what you were doing you wouldn't have any of those problems. There's nothing that needs to be fixed.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
Your problem isnt even the rom. As for the launcher, you need to learn to read the first post.

Edit: Seems like sonofskywalker is fixing it again, rom list cant be accessed right now.

Edit2: Back up, but download error still occurs at multi-touch for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] fromthesticks:
seems to be working for the most part now still a slowdown with downloading a theme but everything else downloaded fine.

Will find out in another few minutes
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I have corrected the above issues and reuploaded the manifest. it took a while because of the traffic, but it should be up now. please continue to post any issues and i'll fix them as soon as possible. thanks for bearing with me as I get all this worked out. wish there was a way I could have released it in rom manager just for myself and tested everything first. Next release i'll be sure to have extra mirrors and a stand alone rom with a launcher ready to download from alternate hosts.
[Fascinate Android Development] redgryphon:
We all thank you for what you are doing.

This just shows how much people like your work.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Yeah, I never expected it would bring the site to it's knees. The owner is overjoyed and annoyed at the same time:D
[Fascinate Android Development] s1nglebarrell:
Hey stuff like this happen no biggie. I thank you for all your hard work in putting out your series of ROMs. Love them.
[Fascinate Android Development] smilepak:
In the existing SD card from previous version you had, there is no Fascinate directory. It is just /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/Rom/

So we need to create Fascinate/Rom/ and put it in there?
[Fascinate Android Development] n4m347yp3:
Ill download it when it im done playing Spaghetti and Marshmellows. Could be awhile......

Mmmmmm froyo. Fascinating.
[Fascinate Android Development] iTz Nicholas72:
User-Error
[Fascinate Android Development] ataranine:
Not really.
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
can you not boot into recovery to flash a zip with a launcher...
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
That's right, either create that directory, or if you want to be sure, start the download, cancel it once it gets to 1%, and it should have created the correct directory for you.
[Fascinate Android Development] Droid_Hellion:
Why not just start using Torrents like they did with the DL30 files? Wouldn't it make more sense to get the community involved in reducing the costs of server bandwidth and headaches by letting us help you?

Just a thought.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
Is it necessary to clear data when installing?
