[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Hey guys, I'm sorry, it's been a busy weekend and I haven't had time till now to get online. If any of you have issues that you haven't been able to resolve with the help of the great members here, please email me personally at sonofskywalker3@androiddoes.net and I'll do my best to help you out tomorrow.

Just a few notes on the comments I've read:

In saying that this is not a bastardized hybrid rom, I'm saying that this rom (the portion of the phones OS that resides on the /system partion) is all straight from the leaked EC01 rom. Superclean 2.9.2 and Blackhole 4.3 were both based on EB01 with some files from other leaked roms for the mesmerize EC10 and EA15 (I think...)

I always reccomend that users wipe data if they can bring themselves too, because it always seems (for me at least) to have less issues. However, It is not required in most cases.

Roms, Kernels and Modems are different things, and because of the variety available I prefer not to include one in the standard rom so users can choose their own.

I recommend that anyone who does have problems with this install (especially if you somehow end up in the bootloop, and if so I'm so sorry, I tested this many times and it didn't happen for me), you should use odin to restore the EB01 full package, boot once, then flash the EC01 radio, an EC10 or ED01 kernel and then the rom.

Voicemail button is mapped to google voice, if you want a dialer with a visual voicemail mapped button let me know and I'll send it to you.

Gmail seems to be the app that acts up the most if you flash a rom without wiping, and I suggest if it's acting wierd that you go to settings > applications > manage apps > gmail > clear storage. Then reboot and open the app and it should sync up.

And a big thanks to all the people who helped answer questions in my short absence, it's because of you this site is still worth visiting.

And lastly, I've recently announced my intention to jump on the bandwagon and upgrade to an HTC Thunderbolt, but I want to assure all of you that I'm still working on releasing Blackhole in the Android Customization Suite, and I'm still planning on continuing to make new versions of the ROM for Fascinate, as I'll be keeping my phone to test with. So don't worry, when/if there's a legit froyo release from VZW/samsung, I'll be right here celebrating with you guys, and Blackhole will continue to be updated. Who knows, if I get any good at Edify scripting I might start updating ROM Manager again for 3.0 recoveries... maybe.

And if any of you are thinking of upgrading to the thunderbolt and would like to contribute to the cost of the device check out http://www.androiddoes.net/content.php?298-SOS-Needs-A-Phone!

Thanks so much guys!
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
If you're intent on upgrading, I recommend waiting a little bit and getting the Droid Charge - better display (4.3" Super AMOLED Plus), and the same 4G LTE speed. Granted, its price straight from VZW is ridiculous, but Wirefly will no doubt offer a substantial discount. Just saying...

[Fascinate Android Development] teezle:
Thanks for all the hard work. your rom is great for me. I really don't pay too much attention to anyone who says anything about Superclean. That Superclean is the biggest POS around. I have used it twice (latest and pevious versions) and on both times my battery wouldn't even last more than 5 hours without even making a call?!?!

I'm testing out the battery life today and will report back with my comparison of your last rom.

EDIT: and hurry up and get a Galaxy Tab from Wirefly too, I need a rom for it ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks for the advice Jmcintyre, and for bringing the charge up. I'll go ahead and say for the record that if I was just buying a phone for myself to use I'd go with the charge for the SLCD. However this is a more calculated move. It will be nice to have a new phone with an updated OS, but I'm getting this phone so I can dev for it and try to bring some extra attention to my awesome hosts www.androiddoes.net. They are the ones who approached me about upgrading in the first place, and I gladly agreed to the opportunity.

The thunderbolt is the strategic choice in my opinion. I believe that because it was the first so many people have already bought it. Also other than the screen the thunderbolt has the hardware edge (more internal ram and storage) and the price edge ($50 cheaper). Also everyone who already has a samsung phone is unlikely to update, because they've been hurt before by a lack of upgrades, and once again samsung is releasing a new phone that's a step behind. <rant>The Nexus S was the FIRST PHONE WITH 2.3!! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU STEP BACK!! </rant>
[Fascinate Android Development] jman391:
Thanks man! Worked like a charm! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
So here's MY Droid Charge rant: for a single-core phone with specs inferior to the Thunderbolt save for the Super AMOLED Plus screen, how do you justify a $300 2-year contract price? Yeah, I did recommend it earlier, because the display means everything to me. The more I thought about the inferior internals, however, the more I wondered if the brainiac at Verizon who set this price is the same one who figured $800 off-contract ($600 on-contract) was a reasonable price for the XOOM.

Back on-topic: do all of the EC01 themes work on BH 4.4? Has anyone tried any yet?

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I havent tested any themes personally yet, but it's stock ec01 framework with sbrissen's mods preinstalled, so any theme for the ec01 deodexed rom should work fine.

And I agree with you on the price, it's completely senseless. Unless they're hiding something, like the fact it prints money or grants you 3 wishes, (one of which can be for Gingerbread) it's just not worth it for the better screen IMO. Choosing the Fascinate over the DX however was a no brainer at $199, too bad they flat out lied about a "froyo release within the near future"... but even though they didn't deliver I'm happy with the choice I made.
[Fascinate Android Development] zeroxg4:
NitroHoneycomb 4.1 (the EC01 version) works perfectly, I've been running it since I installed BH4.4.
[Fascinate Android Development] jman391:
I'm running Crysis 1.5 on BH 4.4 and it works like a charm! Best theme on EC01 in my opinion! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
For $300, they better be hiding Honeycomb for Phones 3.1 or something ;-) It's the Droid Overcharge!

By the time I'm upgrade-eligible, the Charge will probably be under $100 on-contract (though I'll probably try to upgrade to that 2Ghz dual-core phone Samsung says it will release next year). Hopefully I'll be running Blackhole 6.1 Ice Cream ;-)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Haha, Droid Overcharge. That made my day.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Flashed BH 4.4, Crysis theme (it looked cool, but I still like Nitro's Honeycomb better, so I then flashed HC 4.2). Thanks for the advice, everyone! I'll let you know later how battery life goes (last 4 ROMs or so, battery life has been fleeting).

Google Taqlk & *228 issue

I like the rom.

How to install google talk. I tried with rom manager and it failed.

Also when I did the *228 the phone app forced closed on me.
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
Fyi - NitroDark 4.0 theme works great with this rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dan Ang:
Is the link down or is it just me?
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
If you are on the mobile app it seems clicking on it doesn't work... just enter the URL in your web browser on your phone and it'll work.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
The Droid Charge is a Samsung phone. You may have to take out a second mortgage to get one, but AFAIK it does not have a locked bootloader.

Sorry bout that, well hopefully it gets dev support. Im an HTC fan but ive been lookin around over here for my brother in law him and his wife have facinates and all there doing is *****ing about not getting the 2.2 OTA im trying to get them to root but there worried about insurence and ive told them u could flash back to stock but they just keep *****in
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thank you. Google Talk can be installed by downloading the following package, copying to your sdcard, booting into recovery and choosing "install .zip from sdcard"

www.androiddoes.net/~sonofskywalker3/Fascinate/App/GTalk.zip

I am aware of the issues with *228 force closing, however it does save the updated PRL to your phone, I have confirmed this multiple times, so I have not bothered to find a fix.
[Fascinate Android Development] kiran_tp:
Thank YOu it worked.

Thank you it worked. Can you also please send me a link to the phone app with link to default vm mapping.

thank YOu

a few things

So I moved over to this ROM today. I like it! Only a very couple things broke that I could use replacements for, tho:

1. Spare Parts (ad free) was included in the SC rom I had, but not this one. I installed the ad-ridden one from the market, but it would be neat to have a zip or something. If one isn't avail, I can probably figure something out (like kanging it from my backup).

2. I flashed a Froyo Nuance.zip file because I like voice commands sometimes (and it helps with my dumb BT headset), but the app force-closes on me every time. Is there an alternative / updated voice commands app out there somewhere that works with this ROM?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
1. I kanged the spareparts.apk from SC 2.9.2 (latest one I had handy) and uploaded an installer: www.androiddoes.net/~sonofskywalker3/Fascinate/App/SpareParts.zip

2. Is the Nuance.zip from me? If so it should be Nuance2.zip. If not it probably doesn't have all the files necessary, I removed some of the necessary Nuance files from /etc to save space, they're included in my installer, but probably not others. Try this one: www.androiddoes.net/~sonofskywalker3/Fascinate/App/Nuance2.zip

If that still doesn't work let me know.

[Fascinate Android Development] TheTinRam:
Should I?

Friends...

Bit of a noob question, but I read through the thread and am not sure if I should flash this.

I am currently running Superclean 2.9.2 with the EC01 modem and am pretty happy with it. I am not a fan of touchwiz and therefore I like that Superclean looks closer to "pure" android.

So the question is, should I go to blackhole 4.4? Does it look like "pure" android or more like touchwiz? What am I gaining by going to this if I am happy with SC?

Thanks!

(still learning)
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Right now, if you're happy with SC, don't change. Blackhole is all about choice, but at the moment, because of CWM/Rom Manager issues the choices are slim. With superclean (or other roms) you get what the creator wants you to have. With blackhole you get just enough for your phone to be usable, and it's up to you to add everything else. The choice will be back, just as soon as I can find the time.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Thanks, man! I'm going to assume those will work .. If not, I'll let you know, otherwise I'll just stfu.

This brings up another question, tho. Do you have a repository of add-ons for this rom somewhere so I can just have a look and grab what I want instead of having to bug you on the forums for it?

Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jbrisley:
hey there I lost my diamond at a new years party and only just got it back today put my sim card in fired it up and no signal at all as far as it worked fine before any ideas on how to fix it? also its running really slow so anything that can speed it up will be great thanks.

Got OTA update for the HTC Peep client, phone reboot and stop at recovery. Any comment?

System Upgrade 3.54.631.4(3.72MB)

Update:HTC Peep Client.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djtar:
well it should unloop itself mine did when it froze on recovery if you were rooted it should give you an unsuccessful notification can you give us a new state of your phone because i know it couldn't still be doing it or if it just hung better hope it didnt stop in the middle of spl or radio wright to your phone other wise its probably not going to boot best of luck hope you can get into recovery or fastboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] repo97:
Hey everyone,

I have a rooted android as well. HTC Magic and just as you said it did give me the unsuccessful message when I went to update it went into recovery mode and said unsuccessful. What should I do, just ignore this update then? I tried twice and had to reboot both times and the second reboot made the phone freeze for a bit but it eventually booted.

Please let me know. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] davidgiga:
Hi,

I've developed a android version of a popular student game.

This game was also here before but for Windows Mobile.

The goal is to remove all numbers on the board.

Here is the link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=davidgiga.nineteentouch

(-Only 1 line will be removed at once)

Todo:

-Selectable background (black and default) [1.0.1.1]

-Interactive tutorial [1.0.1.1]

-More gamemodes

-More sounds

-Offline highscore (ability to post your result later)

-Better support for Honeycup

Legend:

Red = Not done yet

Yellow = Working on

Green = Done

I hope you like it,

please rate it in the market :)

Hey there!

I love games like this, the concept is simple but effective.

It worked and loaded just fine on my Dell Streak (FroYo) which is a good start. The ingame UI could do with some tweaking, I found that the 19touch logo that underlays the number grid made it difficult to clearly see where I was at.. I think a simple black or contrasting 1-colour background would work better in my opinion.

I think it would be handy if the help file was loaded as a splash screen on first load. I worked out how to play by using the hints in the menu, some wouldnt go to this effort. An interactive tutorial would be even better!

Im off to beat the game now, eek.
[Android Apps and Games] davidgiga:
Thanks :)

I will add a setting option where you can select a background (black or 19touch image)

I'm currently working on a interactive tutorial :):D

Hope you can win it :P

It's sometimes hard to get a good start, if you do it wrong you will just get more and more numbers.
[Android Apps and Games] alec5216:
Just downloaded and started playing. It's pretty fun and addictive. I agree that the rules should be displayed on first boot. I was a little confused until the toast told me to check for them.

I just have a comment and I think I found a couple of bugs:

1) The rules don't make it clear that you can match numbers off different rows.

e.g.

5 - - - - -

- - - -51-

You can match the fives.

Bugs:

1) Near the end of my first game, I was down to 1, 5, and 6. After making the last available move, 6 new tiles popped up, but none offered any new moves. Did I lose? Is the number generation supposed to yield a playable board?

2) After matching two numbers (each of which was in a separate row by itself), only one of the now blank rows was deleted. The second was deleted only after I made another move. That doesn't affect game play as the blank row can be bypassed, but it should still be deleted.

And a question: How does the game determine how many new tiles to add?

Thanks for the game. I really enjoyed it!
[Android Apps and Games] davidgiga:
1) You can remove the two 5 because there are empy fields between them (-)

and the rows are continuous so the fives are touching eachother horizontaly.

Bugs:

1) Thats realy a bug.

The game adds all remaining numbers to the board when there are no moves left. The game checks for moves when you removed 2 numbers. So if there are no moves and the game has added the remaining numbers and there are still no moves left, nothing happens -> You have to start a new game.

2) Yes I know, but I don't know if I should fix that because:

1. It doesn't affect the gameplay

2. It would cost a lot more cpu load since the game has to recheck everything

Hope I could help you :)
[Android Apps and Games] alec5216:
Thanks for the quick feedback.

I just reread the rules and it does say that the lines are continuous. I just missed that.

Bug #1: OK, thanks. I started a new game!

Bug #2: I thought that might be the case. Just wanted to bring it to your attention.
[Android Apps and Games] davidgiga:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthi:
I have these double circular arrows up top next to the H+. They are not spinning, just setting there. They don't seem to ever go away. Is this using data or what. Not sure what is causing. My phone is rooted with a few things frozen but nothing that has anything to do with syncing.

thanks for any help
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redbluefire:
It sure seems something is still syncing... You can test what it is by going into Settings » Accounts and disabling individual sync services for any accounts that have them.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthi:
No, I only have the Moto Blur default account and there are no setting for that. It has a little lock by it. I don't use it, I use K9 mail program for all my email including google but in my System account there is my Yahoo account that is the default, locked account and a google account, neither of which have any setting at all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
MotoBlur has sync settings in Settings > Data Manager > Data Delivery
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthi:
Nope, I tried that and the arrows remain. Also, something strange I think. The arrows stay there even if I turn Airplane Mode on!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erick161:
Sounds like a silly question, did you reboot?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthi:
I rebooted many times. I started removing apps so hopefully I could find it but each time I restarted those sync arrows came back. I also tried freezing every thing I could but no luck so today I unfroze everything and still couldn't get rid of them. Something was always trying to sync. I noticed that my battery life was shorter today so I did a factory data reset and now I am in the process of rooting it again and installing my apps again.

Thanks for all your help and I will be more careful and systematic this time but what I learned is that one needs to be careful about installing apps. Read the reviews first because some programs are memory hogs, some take over your system, etc.:o
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnCommonGrafx:
I've only seen that when I started up this new phone.

I shall look for it. I really like my phone. Look at it often.

(Wow, that was nerdy.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Yeah, the Atrix is still relatively new to the dev scene so most mods are going to have side effects. Basically, just be prepared to do some resets and such until something has been labeled "stable". I'm already on my second Atrix because I messed up the lights for the capacitive buttons and something went wrong with charging, it would always say it was charging even when unplugged. The problems even persisted after a factory restore. Luckily I was able to unroot it and bring it in for a new one before my 30 days was up.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalte84:
When you see the "sync" icon there, you can go to:

Settings > Accounts > tap on an account, say Gmail.

If something is sync-ing, you'll see the sync-ing icon beside the checkbox for contacts/emails/calendar.

I know on mine, when it syncs with my google calendar, it takes a good 2 mins...odd considering i have less than 10 entries. lol.

I got curious why the sync icon was there for a while, so this was where I looked to figure out what was sync-ing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snlu178:
Download os monitor and look sort by load. See what is taking up the load and that is your rogue syncing app. Likely it is stuck on a google contact that is corrupted (if acore is your issue in os monitor)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
i had the same icon on my notification and i froze account sync and calendar sync, it was killing my battery around 10% per hour. the icon went away after a reset and i have no idea what caused it. looking in titanium i saw an app called SyncML 2.2.1 that has a similar icon but i have no idea if its the app thats responsible, still froze it.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
I was experimenting with some themes this afternoon, but before doing so, made a nandroid backup. At the time, I was running ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.8

After I had changed a ton of stuff around, I wanted to go back to my previous setup, so I restored the backup I had just made an hour earlier. Everything seemed to go smoothly until I would get to my lockscreen, and then it would immediately jump back to the boot animation. I found this odd since my backup was done from a stable setup, and even the theming hadn't introduced any instabilities. It didn't make any sense that restoring would create a bootloop situation.

So I tried restoring the backup again. No dice: more bootloops.

Tried a factory wipe, then a restore. No good.

Tried a factory wipe, then restoring an older backup I have. No good.

Factory wipe + old backup + fix permissions. No good.

This went on and on. I tried various combinations of wiping, restoring, fixing, and flashing. I spent almost 60 minutes trying over and over again (I'm quite the stubborn bastard when it comes to troubleshooting)

Then I remembered that I still had a PB31IMG on the sdcard root that contained recovery 2.5.0.5. With nothing to lose, I reverted my recovery from 3.0.0.8 to 2.5.0.5. I then restored my most recent backup (the one that absolutely refused to work after being restored from 3.0.0.8) and it booted perfectly on the first attempt.

*sigh*

This is the first problem that CWM 3.0.0.8 has given me, but it's a pretty big problem. This isn't the first time I've restored a backup using CWM 3.x - the other times went fine. But that's almost more troubling to me: I'd rather have a predictable problem than an unpredictable one.

If I want to keep flashing some of the newer kernel/roms, I'll have to keep using CWM 3.x... but for the foreseeable future, I'm definitely keeping the 2.x recovery on my sdcard for quick access from hboot. If you flash/recover a lot, and want a little extra insurance for those times that you aren't near a desktop, you might want to consider the same.
[Droid Incredible General] smtom:
Agree 100% on this. Koush is trying to force developers to use different scripting, sadly many are not, and the users suffer. Mucho respect for koush, but this hurts more than helps, imho.
