NEW RELEASE 3/28/2011

OK, time for a simultaneous release of AOSP Showcase and Mesmerize, with AOSP voodoo kernels and a set of GAPPS that jt1134 has built for us.

First of all lets give thanks to those that helped me out and made this happen. Phidelt82, thanks for testing and hosting the downloads. Elijahblake, thanks for testing and sticking to it even through your phone troubles that the inbetween releases and original (yet buggy) release called. Thanks dfgas for testing as well, and getting me important Mesmerize files. Baked_Tator, thanks for testing it, you provided great help. MrHanMan, thanks for testing, you provided great help as well. Thanks to all other testers who I can not remember their names at this moment (PM me and you'll get put in this list). Thanks jt1134 for all the work you put in on the fascinate rom lately, you've had me playing catch up, because though I strive, I can't be as fast as you. Thanks to lmartin92, for dedicating time, energy, and learning through the entire experience and making these builds happen (that's me) :-)

Now to the order of business, announcing this release. You showcase users who have endured previous releases are now ready for a stable release and here it is. Yes some things are not working, but these are the things most folk can get along without.

What's working?

Bluetooth (though headsets, and keyboards may not work), file sending has been tested by many and is claimed to be working.

SMS is now working fully.

3g is working.

GPS is working.

Wifi is working.

Google contacts/gmail syncing is working (may require reboot or a bit of patience on your part).

In call sound volume setting is working thanks to jt1134.

It shows the proper company as to who is providing you services now.

Much more is probably working, but I can't identify them all nor make claims as of yet.

What isn't working?

Bluetooth headset.

MMS.

Video Camera.

Camera does not work at 5mp and it uses black and white previews.

Probably some other things, if you find them, let me know and I'll get to work fixing them.

Where can I get this?

The Showcase AOSP V0.9 rom release is here

mirror

and a torrent magnet link is magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7f1f77e7e9e9cd29cdf19b8eff9daa0ddaf8f9cf&dn=showcase-aosp-latest.zip&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fopenbittorent.com%2Fannounce.

The EC10 AOSP voodoo kernel is here.

The AOSP Gapps are here.

Use CWM Red to flash these in this order, kernel, rom, gapps. Anytime you flash the rom reflash gapps because the rom breaks gapps after reinstallation. Be sure to wipe data and cache before you reboot.

What happened to the kernel being inside of the rom? I've decided to seperate them out, if someone wants a non-voodoo kernel, they can make one and use it. It does have to be customized for AOSP. I just don't know yet how to do this, but it shouldn't be too hard.

In other words, I'm allowing folk to use different kernels than mine own if they care to put the work into it to make it happen.

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT *228 unless you wish to possibly lose your phone!

I would like to donate to the cause.

Glad to help you do that. I'm specifically looking to beef up my dev machine to a six core 16 GB ram beast. Of course, if anyone wants to participate in building, I'll actually donate some of my machine torwards a build server. These are the parts I would like to have, and I'm probably upgrading from 8GB 3core machine to a 12GB 3core machine next month (just modifying this sucker here).

I need 2 sets of this memory to make my dream happen. It's a Mushkin 2x4 GB ddr3 1333 (10666) MHZ). The cpu I would like to see is a six core AMD Phenom II x6 1100T. No I don't expect anyone to provide me with this, but this is what I'm going to upgrade to eventually and try to donate back to the community with a Samsung galaxy s i500 build server. By the way, when making donations I'm not the only one to consider. All those fine folk listed above deserve it just as much or more so than me. Now enough with my dreams.

Enjoy AOSP.

Changes in 0.9.1

Streaming issues kind of fixed (no hd youtube, but the rest seems to work).

New GAPPS.

New Kernel (EC10 from jt1134 which is a generic (works on all i500 devices to date) kernel)

GMAIL/contacts sync is fixed
