launcher-pro.

seems something went horribly wrong when I wiped /data, ended up having to use odin to get back running. if you do run into issues that you can't resolve by flashing the stand-alone installer then I suggest you check out this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956289

as of right now I'm recommending you do not wipe /data when installing the rom, not at all if possible, until I find the cause of this.
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
could these be issues with clockwork...i had soooo many issues flashing and such with clockwork till i set this up http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957132

followed it to the "t" and everything is smooth wiping
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
It is very possible, because it doesn't seem to even be consistent with the issues. i've double checked everything, and as far as i can tell it should be fine. I'm considering just giving up on it altogether. Koush doesn't care that we're having problems with it, won't respond to emails/tweets. we'll see what happens.
[Fascinate Android Development] punkwhan:
Hi,

Thanks for your rom.

I have one quick question.

I separately installed Launcher Pro for my current rom which is your 4.1.

I chose TW only when I installed your rom, then I installed LP later.

If I flash your stand-alone rom which has LP in it and don't wipe data, will I end up with 2 LPs?

Should I uninstall the current LP first?

Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] Mean Sixteen:
Thought I would chime in

1st go round I had trouble. Tried through rom manager but got something about failure at line 4. So I went through recovery and flashed each piece separately. When I booted it never left the samsung screen. I believe it was because I was on voodoo and accidentally chose jt's kernel.

Then after I fixed that I updated recovery from 2.1 something to 2.4 or something like that. through rom manager.

2nd go round went fine. Wiped and it went perfectly. All through rom manager.

Love your work.

Your ROMs are the BEST.....

........that I have used on the Fascinate......smallest footprint - I love the a-la-carte configuration options.

Many kudos and thank you sir!!

This one works flawlessly as usual, ;-)
[Fascinate Android Development] caal920:
My experience:

-Ran into issues through RM doing it with wipe data and cache and without.

-I tried updating CWR to 'red' version like someone suggested, that didn't play nice with RM...hosed phone

-Found full froyo odin file with new CWR, I'm going to try to manually update via CDW without RM.

Question is, you mentioned not wiping data unless you have to...is that just when doing it with RM or the ROM in general?

By the way, your ROM's rock, just seems like we need more support from Koush
[Fascinate Android Development] bwheelies:
I noticed that the rom goes to a new folder in clockwork on the sd. I could not get it to work so i downloaded the standalone and renamed it to be the same as the file dowloaded to the android-lives folder. Still didn't work.

Finally gave up and used clockwork to install standalone and it provides the tools to get the rest going through rom manager.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
no need, it's the same file name so the second will overwrite the existing one.

Well since there arent any other froyo roms in Rom manager, now or proabably ever, i can't really be sure, but when i flashed in rom manager it worked fine until i wiped, then i got a bootloop. once i restored using the eb01 odin package i flashed the standalone again and was fine.

If I'm using Jt's aosp and his non-voodoo kernel do I have to flash a new kernel to use this or is one included in the rom?

[Fascinate Android Development] gbmitchell:
Oddly enough when I had the problem and I tried to go back and restore the backup of 4.01 the folder in rom manager did not have the fies in it. I ended up flashing piece by piece the stuff that I downloaded. Something still does not feel right. No sounds when I click on the screen. All of the sound settings were weird to begin with, like I did not get any sound files in the rom. Also, the files are all in a different spot than previous versions of blackhole.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrjake1970:
Same issue with no sound other than alarms here.

I also have an issue with my sms dashboard not saving sms history after a reboot. Anyone else?
[Fascinate Android Development] M00NEY:
The sounds are not included... He has a stock audio package that you can DL, I believe in ROM Manager... But - if you have a backup and don't mind the rigamaroo, you can restore, pull a copy of /system/media/audio.

I keep a copy of the stock plus a few sounds on my SD card so I can easily get it all back in place if I try a rom that has no sounds...

Once those files are in place, you will have sounds to choose from.
[Fascinate Android Development] gbmitchell:
Ahh. Okay. Maybe I just forgot I had to pick that up in the other versions.
[Fascinate Android Development] spenceuiuc:
My time without signal is over 50% in an area where it is usually about 1%.

Anybody have any ideas on how to fix it?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
5 different lockscreens are included in settings > display > unlock screen thanks to sbrissen's mod, which should be in all themes available in rom manager.

I'm honestly not sure of the differences, but to be safe i'd try downloading his bootanimation or eb01 voodoo kernel and flashing it at the same time you flash the rom.

Thanks for the heads up, i'll look into it.

First try to reflash the EB01 modem from adrynalyn's original release topic, then try dialing *228 and choose option 2 to download verizon's latest prl.
[Fascinate Android Development] Sidewind75:
I keep getting bootloops at boot animation when i try to flash the 4.2 version. How do i Fix this
[Fascinate Android Development] quadracin42:
It would be nice to see the screen animation that is in superclean added as an option
[Fascinate Android Development] gabenoob:
Yeah, I downloaded the kernel you have included in Rom Manager and I had to flash it manually in CWR to get the rom to work, just choosing to install the ROM through rom manager causes the phone to act all weird and stuff, so I had to flash all the parts separately
[Fascinate Android Development] spenceuiuc:
First off, thanks for the quick reply! I just bought you your next beer/coffee.

I took your advice and reflashed EB01 from adrynalyne's post, and then tried to *228.

However, I am getting FC's during programing. The phone goes through the process, but then force closes right after the screen displays 'commit successful.'

Is this an issue I should be worried about, or should I just reboot after that and run with it?

Help Please! I'm freaking out(My first rom). I downloaded the standalone version through rom manager. I manually booted into the new red cwm. Selected install zip from sdcard. Selected the rom under androiddoes.net on the clockwork folder. It flashes. Takes me back to red. I select reboot system now. Goes to samsung screen. Then goes black. Then back to samsung logo. And finally back to red. I cleared data/cache and dalvic too before flashing. I do however have a nandroid so Ill recover for now but still would like some assistance. Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] spenceuiuc:
I don't believe ROM manager has the standalone version--- it's version is without a launcher. You'll need to add a launcher for it to work.

Also, have you flashed the modem (via ODIN) + kernel (via CWM) for EB01 yet? If you're doing it all manually, you'll need to get those on there is well.

Cheers.
[Fascinate Android Development] lfrench0:
Ok thanks Panic attack over. Yeah I was gonna use TWiz(Only for SNS). I Did the modem. I was gonna use jt's bootanimation kernel from Rom Mgr. I just did the rom and then the reboot to check to see if it would work(I guess not hehe). So next time I'll do the Rom, Kernel, and Launcher before trying to reboot. Anything else? Thanks a bajillion.

One more thing jt's bootanimation kernel isn't voodoo right? Again Thanks

Hey just curious, does blackhole(for eb01) include the built-in screen capture function like the stock rom or SC 2.4?
[Fascinate Android Development] khanable:
Seems to run very well

I've run into a nasty little bug though -- I don't know how, when, or why, but at some point throughout the day my notifications just stop making noise.

The phone will have full volume.. but doesn't make a peep. I miss countless emails/sms/gtalk/voicemails etc. Bummer!

Keep up the good work!
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
It was with the original blackhole rom you made based on dj05. The visual voicemail app was excluded probably because it was concidered bloat by many and I had trouble installing it and getting it to work properly. I tried the verizon one but it said there was a better one for my phone allready installed and it kept forcing me to uninstall.
[Fascinate Android Development] spenceuiuc:
Running great for me so far. I am amazed at the battery life I get on your ROMs (vs others). I am averaging about 30 hrs of battery life on normal usage for me, with data and sync on all the time. Nice!

I do have a question; is there a way to get rid of the puzzle call-answer screen? I only seem to get it when the screen has been off for awhile. If I am using the phone and get a call, I get a different screen (AOSP?). Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] cj1171:
the ROM is great! Only issue I'm having is with Google Voice...it needs to be re-configured every time I reboot. And it doesn't seem to always be updating...anyone run into this?
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Same with my XDA app... it keeps forgetting my settings and even my login info almost every time I launch. Also, when I click on a post, read it, and use the back button to return to the thread, it takes me to the startup splash screen instead.

[Fascinate Android Development] lfrench0:
Ok, I'm still having troubles with the boot loop. I've tried downloading through RM and the standalone version from the OP. I've flashed both using the new red cwm(cleared data, wiped cache and dalvic too), but both still give me the boot loop. Do you have to have a voodoo kernel? I'm still on the stock kernel, but I have flashed the new modem. Anybody found a good solution yet?

Many Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Hey guys, just wanted to give you all a heads up on what's going on.

The androiddoes.net site is in transition, so you may have seen some issues over the weekend, we'll just say their host made some not so small mistakes and leave it at that. The outcome is that my Rom Manager section is down, as are any android does links. Where this leaves Blackhole is that the stand alone link for 4.2 is still up, but the addons are not available at this time.

I also want to remind anyone flashing 4.2 that some problems have come up since the release that I didn't run into during testing. The biggest is that wiping data during or sometimes after an install will cause the phone to enter a bootloop. I have found the reason, but not the cause. I am working hard to find the fix for this, and as soon as i do will be releasing version 4.21 to everyone, no waiting, because it's a bugfix release and not a major release. VIP's rest assured that when 4.3 comes out you will get first shot at it.

Until then DO NOT WIPE DATA. Not when installing, and not after if you can help it. This will most likely cause a bootloop. If you are stuck currently (sorry about that) visit this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956289 and grab the EB01 odin package. It will restore you to stock rooted EB01, and then you can install the 4.2 standalone, or another rom.

some answers to questions I noticed:

I have had no issues with installing the visual voicemail package after the fact, it has always worked fine for me.

*228 will cause a force close, but it does update the prl successfully, just not sure why it crashes after.

I haven't had problems with a MMS force close, but i don't send a lot of pictures, just text. If there is a working AOSP mms app someone can point me to i'll be glad to add it to rom manager once it's back up.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
Thanks for your hard work. I will be wiaitng for 4.21.
[Fascinate Android Development] lfrench0:
Sure is nice to know that you are always working on getting every little wrinkle ironed out. And did you just mention 4.3! Awesome- you are the man! keep up the hard work.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
OP has been updated with download link for 4.21. Please let me know if you have any issues, but I have tested it fully with wiping data, and it seems to be working. The androiddoes.net ftp is still having issues, so i'm unable to update rom manager at this point, but this will be up in there asap, and for now all the rom updates, either individually or by choosing "modify existing rom" should work.
[Fascinate Android Development] the_rhino:
I just received my Fascinate today (coming from an Eris with Gingerbread) and I tried flashing v4.21, but in Clockwork I get the error:

E:Failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

(I did the 1-click Root method successfully).

I appreciate any help.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
First, welcome to the fascinate family, I hope you love it as much as I do.

Now on to the issue: If you are in clockworkmod recovery it shouldn't be checking signatures, it sounds like you may be in stock recovery. what color is the text when you boot into recovery?
[Fascinate Android Development] the_rhino:
Blue text for menu selections, yellow for activity messages, and red for the error messages.
[Fascinate Android Development] cstrife999:
You are doing to have to flash your phone with CWM via ODIN. To do this there is a tutorial, but in short download the updated file, put your phone into download mode and flash it via the "PDA" button.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
yeah, that's stock recovery. Clockwork recovery is green text or red text depending on which version you're using. Have you used odin before? you need to use odin to flash a corruptible recovery, then it'll get into clockwork by choosing "install update.zip from sdcard" There are some really good instructions in this topic:http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-11-a.html

Just download the "Full Stock Froyo Leak+root+Froyo Clockworkmod", and flash it through odin to get the baseline, then you will be able to install Blackhole 4.21 over it.

I've been using JTs voodoo kernel with 4.2. Should I disable voodoo before updating to 4.21?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
no need. there's no kernel built into the rom, so it'll continue to use your existing setup. that's the same kernel i'm using btw.
[Fascinate Android Development] bmangia1:
Flash or not to flash...

So I'm on the fence on whether or not its a necessity to flash this or just wait for 4.3? I'm at 4.2 now but never wiped data so did not run into the boot loop issue and haven't experienced any MMS issues. Would I eventually need to flash this regardless for later BH revisions? 4.2 seems to be pretty solid so far and I'm fine with passing this up if it will not cause any upgrade issues down the road?
[Fascinate Android Development] the_rhino:
Thank you for the responses, I will do that when I get home from work tonight.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
No, if you're using 4.2 and it works fine for you then there's no need to upgrade, it won't cause any issues (unless for some reason you decide to wipe data... but don't!). This release is just to resolve those bootloop issues and add back the audio which seemed to trip so many people up.
[Fascinate Android Development] bmangia1:
Awsome! Thanks for the reply. I'll just enjoy what I got then.....for now ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] lowtech80:
Wow..dunno what happened to me, but I somehow lost clockwork mod. The update.zip is still on my sd card but I cant boot into it. I've tried via power options, rom manager, and manually by turning phone off and holding volume up and down while powering on. Every time it just goes into stock recovery. Then I'll hit apply update.zip, out looks like it's working but then reboots back into stock recovery.

Also I had problems with the install itself. when going through rom manager I selected backup and wipe and it didnt do either instead it got stuck and for some reason it was using the green cwm when I updated to the newest red cwm. So I used cwm to backup manually redid the install process through rom manager but did not cheek wipe data. Then it installed but it was acting screwy. Soo I tried to wipe and restore..but at that point is when I realized it won't go into cwm anymore. I wiped using regular recovery and things are working fine except that I can't restore a previous backup or anything because I still can't get cwm working. Do I need to install via odin?

Sooo when installing this rom through rom managee don't wipe data?? I'm very confuzed.. I've run into bootloop when I wiped data from this rom to switch to super clean...
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
First let me say that with this version i am not having the previously mentioned visual voicemail problems. I really like the look and feel of this rom over the stock eb01. The only issue o am having is that my market will not install certain apps after they are.downloaded. its weird because they will fully download and then just disappear as if they were never selected at all.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
I will try flashing base rom again. This time with no wipe and nothing added as i already have all the addons i need.

The only good apple is the one you eat.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
sounds like you're recovery may need to be reflashed through odin. you can use the cwmrecovery.tar file from the topic, or just flash the stock EB01 odin package from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956289

Wiping data with version 4.2 or earlier can cause bootloop issues, version 4.21 fixes these issues, but it is not available in rom manager yet because of issues with my ftp server. links are in the first post of this topic for the rom, addons can be gotten from rom manager.

would you mind giving me some examples of what apps are doing this, if the issue is still happening?

Power nap, homerun battle3d, my verizon to name a few. It seems that it is doing it with the update downloads when trying to update that which was restored from titanium.

In that case I would suggest you uninstall the apps, try downloading them straight from the market, then restore the app data with titanium.

Hm I just upgraded from 4.2 and no longer have email or gmail apps
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
that's odd. 4.21 contains the gmail.apk and email.apk files, i just double checked. can you download file manager from my section of rom manager and see if those apk files are in /system/app
[Fascinate Android Development] cesium:
Not in there. I checked the ROMs zip file that I used to flash and it's not in there either.

Can I use wireless tether app

with this rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
There must be something wrong with the download if your missing the gmail app however the email is an optional add on you can find in Rom manager. Try redownloading from this thread and then use rom manager to add the extras you want. As far as the wireless tether question, yes the wireless tether app does work with this rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
All fixed chief. I datawiped and installed the stand alone from this thread then used rom manager only for adding the features I wanted. Worked great. Now no problems getting apps. I was however wondering why my signal strength is lower than usual even after a *228.

My phone thinks its smarter than me
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Sorry guys, the servers are chugging along doing their best. I've spoken with the site owner and he says he's trying to improve the bandwidth. And yes, voodoo is not compatible with DL30 yet, I imagine Adrynalyn will have something going before long.

If anyone wants to download the rom on the computer right-click on this link and choose save as:

www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/Fascinate/Rom/Blackhole_Fascinate_4.01.zip

then put the file in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/Fascinate/Rom/

then when you go into rom manager choose to download the rom, pick your options and it will skip the rom download, which is the largest part. it may not be much faster, but it may be more reliable...
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
Thanks for the response, I am mostly concerned if I was having problems on my end. No complaints here, the hard work and great attitude is appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Yes, the puzzle lock is the default for the rom, other themes may give you a choice.

Yes, until the kernel is modified to disable the tracking, or some other kind of workaround I recomend against wireless tethering with anything but the 3g mobile hotspot, which is why unlike the previous builds I left it in this version.

[Fascinate Android Development] JoeDat:
Yeah, and be careful of the corrupt zips. Sometimes you're warned by Rom Manager, sometimes you're not. If your downloads are taking literally hours, try opening them before flashing. Could avoid headaches that way.
