I have a friend getting a fascinate, and he wants me to root / upgrade him to froyo. I will not have much time with his phone, so i cannot try or test multiple roms. I am familiar with the captivate roms (i have one), but i haven't a clue about the fascinate scene.
Which rom provides the most stable froyo user experience on the fascinate? stability is the most important for me because i do not want to have to be reflashing his phone often.
Thanks.
It's quite obvious you don't know much about the Fascinate scene, considering there isn't a Froyo ROM for it yet. There isn't any official Froyo ROM for any Galaxy S device for US carriers as far as I'm aware you either.
Oh ok. We have some pretty stable leaks (even 2.2.1) for the captivate, vibrant, i9000 so i was assuming the fascinate was the same.
In that case is there a rom that enables the mobile AP, cleans the bloatware, and gets voodoo or the ultimate lag fix running on a fascinate?

The best ROM is probably jt's cleaned up version of the DJ05 leak. For kernel's, there are Geeknik's StupidFast and a bunch of stable/test voodoo5 kernels available for DJ05. If you want to go the stock route jt has a clean version of the DI01 rom in the development forum, and for kernel's I'd probably go with one of the last of geeknik's stupidfast kernels for DI01, as DJ05 and DI01 kernel's aren't fully compatible with the other build's roms.

I just came to the Fascinate scene from the Nexus One section and the most help you can give him is to go to IRC. webchat.freenode.com i believe. They have the leak of the newest software that fixes gps, removes bloatware, etc. You can find how to enable mobile AP on here or just tell him to use Wireless Tether for Root Users.
Closed.
Get Blackhole 2.2, which is NOT froyo. Its DJ05, with options in the rom manager that let's you choose which themes, kernels, apps, and stuff you want. Check it out, it should be avaliable if you ask on irc.
Rockin' DJ05, Minimal Icognito, with Voodoo5

I have had my phone rooted and running custom roms for months now. I never had the courage to try a lagfix though. I would like to try now that i have a better understanding of nandroid backups, and titanium backups, and how to use ODIN if necessary.
So my question to all the users is which lagfix works best with the current batch of FROYO roms? Let me know what you guys think, and if you could provide a link to a thread or website that includes instructions on how to apply and reverse the lagfix, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

There are a few poll threads going around about Froyo. Maybe not lag fixes specifically but it is mentioned often. I find lagfix is less needed on Froyo.
I am using Axura 2.0.5 its very snappy without a lagfix. However there is a VooDoo kernel for it. I don't use it. OCLF seems to not play well yet on some 2.2. Some it does.
TeamWiskey makes good Roms for lagfixes. And Eugene cranks out the cool tweakable kernals and Roms.
There's s alot to checkout, flash away! Search the site and use the Vibrant Bible it has most links you need. The unistal Voodoo is allover the site, just search.
If you don't know yet, always disabled or uninstall any lagfix prior to flashing a new rom. OCLF Iis very easy to uninstall.

So bringing this thread back to life.
I'm on Deodexed/Rooted stock KB5 and my phone lately is lagging a lot.
What lag fix do you guys recommend?
I was thinking about Voodoo?
I've never applied any lagfix.
Is there anything I should consider? Complications? Future flashing problems? Backing up necessary? Unexpected issues I should know about? Etc etc..

Voodoo lagfix. It's pretty much standard now on the vibrant, and there really isn't anything to worry about, assuming you flash a voodoo kernel with a charged battery. But it's so widely supported, you more than likely won't find anything that doesn't support it.

What is voodoo 6?
I installed kb5 kernel with voodoo and noticed no difference in lag improvement. My phone still lags.
I use toxic 8 with the v6 scripts and bali x kernel. Dragon kernel #1 ran smooth too. fastest my phone has run in past few months with no lag. I only overclock to 1100mhz otherwise it locks up. Good battery life too.

I've searched, but couldn't find a clear answer. I'm rooted running JT's voodoo kernel (v4 I think) one of his ROMS, and the Matted Blue theme. Before I begin this process, I'm just curious if I need to disable voodoo/restore to stock before I apply the DJ05 update/voodoo5 (yes, I have the steps, and am competent enough to mod my phone).
I've got most of the requisite files, and was just going to do voodoo5 though the ROM manager when the base DJ05 update finished.
Thanks.
In my experience, it is alwaus a good idea to disable voodoo begorr changing rom or kernel. And have heard that some people could not get dj to take without disable_lagfix. Good luck

Dj05
Just my two cents and maybe it has to do with competence, lol, but I spent about 3 hrs yesterday removing voodoo to reinstall it because I didn't disable it initially when adding jt's clean .07 rom. Voodoo5 looked like it installed and it allowed me to use my bluetooth and a new theme I had just installed, but my haptic response wasn't there and I was getting a lot of FC's. I tried every basic fix I know and finally thought i got it only to get a quadrant score of 900.
tl;dr
I would uninstall any voodoo you have before you upgrade to DJ05
if you're going from an old voodoo to the newest voodoo, you will likely have problems if you don't disable it beforehand.

Does this apply if you are only going from an older voodoo5 based kernel to a newer version of that same kernel?
Thanks guys. I disabled, and updated to DJ without a hitch (so far at least). Probably hit up Voodoo5 a little later tonight. Do need to find a DJ kernel so I can get my haptic back though...
nmyeti, please do not quote me on this, but in my searches I did see people mentioning they were upgrading between Voodoo5 kernals without disabling. I probably would, just in case.
If you already have the dj05, can you install the voodoo 5 kernel over it with no problems?

If you loaded clean .7, you don't have a DJ05 kernel. Either load the voodoo5 or a DJ05 kernel(there are a few in rom manager) or load a Clean .3 - .5 - they have kernel built into them. Since you have your old DI01 kernel and DJ05, your haptic is broken.

I loaded the 11/29 kernel for DJ05 when i first flashed clean .7. This kernel had some strange audio popping etc, so i went to a geeknic version and that kernel had the same issues. I finally decided to try JT's voodoo 12/1 and that resolved the issue. I've upgraded to 12/2 without problem and then yesterday updated to 12/3 and all seems well.
Relatively new to the Android world. These Forums are awesome, its how I've managed to do everything i have. So first off, Nice Job!!! My Fascinate is my first Android phone. Had it for about a month so far. Already Bricked one, Even pushed stock files with Odin to no avail. But that's neither here nor there. Any who, pushed DJ05 Modem with Odin, Installed JT1134's SuperClean V. 0.7 (DJ05), and using JT1134's Voodoo 5 Kernel. In "About Phone" it says Baseband is "S:i500.04 V.DJ05" and Build is "SCH-I500.DJ05" and from what i understand Voodoo 5 is a DJ05 Kernel. So just wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to why i have no Haptic Feedback or any vibration functions at all for that matter. Aside from that i love it. GPS syncs much faster, Super smooth and fluid. Love the set up, just wish i had vibration. Any ideas?
what kernel did you install, as in the filename? Just to make sure it is in fact a voodoo5 kernel. Also, it'd probably be best to ask this in the same place you found DJ05.

You need a DJ05 kernel, there are some stupidfast kernels that are DJ05, and the newest voodoo's should be.

Considering 1.54 is a DJ05 kernel.
And Superdark 1.1 is a DI01 rom
I would see where your issues come into play.
Superdark DJ05 v1 HERE.
And it would make me question if you flashed the DJ05 modem in odin. For things to work right you need all 3 pieces of the puzzle. DJ05 modem, DJ05 rom, and DJ05 kernel.
good day.
I too am not getting haptic feedback. I did all 3 steps and have sense tried a different kernel. I guess when I get up in the morning I am going to start everything over from scratch if no one has any ideas. we will see how that works.
Hi all,
Sorry for my ignorant on Android. I have T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, had it updated to the official T-Mobile 2.2 update. Now the phone is horrible, I experience intermittent lockups and the GPS still won't work. Can send Pic MMS, etc etc.
My question to you is: Can I still root it? If yes, what Rom you suggest. Please advise. I just want a ROM that works with good reception and GPS. Thank you.
You can root 2.2, but i wouild odin to 2.1 JFD
root it, rom manager, cwr, custom rom.
in the guides.
yes you can still root i would advise Bionix V but flashing is abit difficult now. I'm still trying to figure it out
I'd recommend Bionix-v 1.2 ROM
There is a Vibrant Bible on development section. It has many information about Roms from different developers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
Try Bionix-v 1.2 first. To me that is the smoothest ROM so far.
+1 for Bionix-V 1.2. So far it is working very well on my phone.
TW!
Bionix-V FTW! All Team Whiskey ROMs will make your hardware purrrrr with pleasure. + Sombionix & ViralBlack (Team Whiskey Devs) are very helpful and keep you up to date with their progress. Stability is the name of the game...
All of the froyo rom's are great. Some wonderful things are in the works. I personally prefer Flagship at the moment.
Froyo root
Here's what I'm experiencing,
I got my vibrant around jan18th, I started with baseline quadrant scores of 850-865, rooting eclair with superoneclick then ran oneclicklagfix...this got me quadrant scores from 1800-1850.
I then undid oneclicklagfix, then unrooted through superoneclick. Then I got rom manager and flashed recovery (creates update.zip then install packages using stock recovery procedure), then went into oneclicklag and went and rooted using bottom option (z4root not on market), then ran second oclf v1+....this gave me the highest score I have gotten 2050-2100
Then I undid it all and flashed through kies to froyo ka6
It's better then stock eclair with a stock quadrant scores of 950-1200 ( I test multiple times because I found you get dif scores depending on the processing cycles)
Now the starts, the only "successful" method to come close to rooting is the solution posted in most threads "just use superoneclick...worked for me". Well, it looks like it works, the program even tests it and it says rooted. The phone even has a functioning superuser app, however, I run oclf and rom manager (both require rooting) and I am never prompted to allow su rights, both oclf and rom manager (not helpful bcuz 3e recovery) appear to run, just painfully slow. If I wait like 5 min I can click on an option on oclf, they just freeze up. So... I went to terminal emulator and su, nothing...no real root, it appears so
the only well developed methods seem to be for i9000....so currently I am waiting cuz I want all functionallity of froyo (wifi hotspot, calling...etc). The only froyo rom I have that seems to be ported well to vibrant is "eugene's froyo" but I can't find a working dl link (odin files pref.)
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome
@jdub6d9
Out of curiosity what is you fascination with the quadrant score? For out phones it's more of a placebo. I'm not trying to flame you by any means btw, just pointing out a fact. You can lag all day long and push out a 1200-1500 score, but, your phone would still suck lol.
Eugenes OLD froyo build is very basic at very best, I wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver.
My suggestion, since you are already rooting and voiding your warranty, Odin back to a stable 2.1, root, cwm, then flash a custom ROM. Bionix with Touchwiz will probably suite you since I am feeling you like stock. I am not sure about the other ROMS having TW.
bionix v1.2
I just flashed v1.2 and now my battery is dying fast and when I flashed my battery was fully charged
Wipe your battery stats and start from scratch. There could be many reasons that are not necessarily related to the ROM.

Personally, I wouldn't rely solely on Quadrant scores. Focus more on your user experience, as that's what really matters.
whats the better rom out there?
What modems have provided good results?
What kernels have provided the best battery life?
I love miui rom and glitch kernel!

Tried reading up on modems but got a little confused. The captivate used to allow direct modem flash through cwm or built directly into rom. Are there any specifics to worry about with modem flashing using odin?
I love CM7 With Glitch kernel v12.
But im currently trying out OMFGB while we wait for a new cm7 nightly.
as far as modems i dunno ive never had to change one
I guess my question about the modem is, when changing is there a progression change that needs to be done, or can I just choose one and flash via odin? When I had my captivate, the modems were built into the roms, so there was no reason for modem flashing.

chose one and flash via odin. Although most roms for the fassy have a modem included... but give the ec09 or ed05 a try... the ec09 has been the best for me. I have tried every modem from dl09, ec01,ed01,ed03,ed04,ed05, and ec09.
ok so the modems do flash along with the rom the way the captivates do. thanks for the info.
EDO5 works perfect for me.

No not really. Usually the fully packed "ED05" or "EC09" (or any of those other older ones like that) roms do include the modem. But the cooked roms usually don't include the modem (I believe). Most definitely not CM7 or MIUI - those keep whatever modem you had before.
In which case, choose a modem (usually people are going between EC09 or ED05) and flash in Odin. It's super simple.

Yeah, thanks I understand. I didnt mean that they always come prepacked with a modem, but the ability to directly flash a modem built into a rom is there. My incredible required modems to be flashed through the bootloader on a more dangerous hardware level. I had the captivate and completely understand the methods, I just needed re-education in the samsung world. Thanks for the response.
Couldn't be happier with my decision and am currently running pwgb v.3. All it needs now is a voodoo kernel. What modem do you guys find works the best? I am currently running the ec09.
After bouncing around on just about all options, pw and ec09 turned out best for me in stability, function and battery with solid performance as well.
Would like a little voodoo though.
