Did you do the following (this is what I do every time I install a new ROM):
- Boot into fastboot & "moto-fastboot -w"
- Upon reboot enter recovery immediately
- Wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery stats
- install ROM.zip
I'm on nightly #31 now, and have 0 problems.
Good folks: How does one turn off the fingerprint reader navigation in Cyanogenmod nightlies? There was a "devices" option in the weeklies and I can't seem to find any other option under settings to do it.
i ran the nightlies. great roms.
Finally my phone sleeps! Nightly 31 seems to have fixed most of my issues tho the gps still sucks unless its not cloudy.
Too little too late tho

Dude. That zip has a permanent place on my sd card to be flashed right after new roms I think. It is a dramatic improvement!
quick question.... if i flash a nightly is it just like doing a normal update with cm7 beta to cm7 ba2tf where you flash it and its done or do i have to wipe and reset and then flash ????

When you install the first nightly, I would do a full wipe, after that for updates, a cache/dalvik wipe should sufice, but if you experience any problems or issues, I'd go back and do a full wipe again.

I tried searching and I even searched google but could not come up with anything good. I recently rooted my phone and am now running FR008, like many of you I am waiting for a stable CM7 mod until then I'll stick with my froyo. However, I know someone who is running CM7 and I noticed the TV Tube animation when locking your phone.
Is it possible to get just the animation somehow?
BTW great forum, I learn new stuff everyday and if it wasn't for you guys I would have never rooted my phone.

Or just switch to CM7...as of right now, i.e. with the current build, there isn't anything that ISN'T "stable" about it...to put it bluntly, you're going to spend a lot of time trying to accomplish this when you could spend less than half that time just flashing the latest nightly of cm7 and leaving it at that...don't even have to worry about the following nightlies until an RC or stable release...that's what i would do if i were you...

"cwm 2.5.x all" is only recovery that backs up stock rom to my knowledge. You will need to flash it to make your backup then flash "cwm fixed for cm7" to proceed with cyanogenmod.

Hi Guys,
Did anyone tried KingDroid ICS 1.6 ROM....any review or suggestion?...presently i am on CM9...is it worth flashing to it?
Dear abheshekk,
I am on v1.6 now and it is very smooth&stable... Cm9 is still in its early beta stage and may have much more bugs than tw based kingdroid v1.6... It is worth to flash according to me... V1.6 contains latest ported apps from sgs3 ics rom including toucwiz ux... Call rec is enabled and all spen stuff is working... I am very satisfied with v1.6...

It's fine, but I like Rocket Rom more. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I ran with eybee's old ICS leak which was awesome.
Rocket Rom v2 + my SGS3 theme = smooth as hell.

Alternatively the OP could have read the KingDroid thread and make his own decision based on what people report in that thread instead of making a new one that clutters up the forum.
Try it. Rom, is very stable, new touchwiz is amazing and s voice works better than just installing the app on other ROM.

Yeah I'm getting that issue too! But otherwise it's a stable rom though it doesn't really work to well if your planning on using I like better but I have a feeling that Rocket Rom is going to be my choice just because I loved the GB equivalent.

Fool proof instruction from LPF (Ketan)
First get these to files on SD(cant post links, google pls):
CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3 (get the .tar since Mobile Odin can not flash .zip)
AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final RedPill Touch Original Logo (.zip vers.)
and the Kingdroid Rom
Download Mobile Odin(pro) and flash CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3
Now Boot into recovery and flash AbyssNote kernel, still in CF-Root go to advance and reboot recovery (so now you are in abyss recovery)
In Abyss first Wipe Data/Factory after that wipe Cache and then wipe Dalvik
Now install from SD and chose Flash Kingdroid rom
Reboot and enjoy GNote

Since JRO03L merge (or around that time) rom has become laggy from me after a certain uptime...
I have no idea what happened... Just flashing an older build helps a lot...
At the moment I'm trying aokp (without wiping!) and everything appear to be way smoother compared to the cm10 experience I was getting with the nightlies...
The only versions being fast and smooth were the featured ones released by kalim

Tempting to try it, may as well give it a try now too. Read good things about AOKP + air kernel (running air kernel with CM10 nightly now, 0821). Could run some benchmarks. Then again, they are just nightlies...So bugs are expected.
I'm on a clean install of cm-10-20120821-NIGHTLY-crespo and am not getting screen rotation. Wiped /system, /davlik, and factory reset.
I came from a eurostank jellybro build from the 17th and then full wiped and tried AOKP JB build 1 for a few minutes and then full wiped and came to this build.
Anyone else getting similar results?
EDIT: Just dirty flashed (wiped /cache and dalvik) over official cm10 8/21 to Euroskank's Jellybro 8/21 build and screen rotation is back!
I know this is another one of those very opinionated threads, but this isn't for MY phone. I rooted my friends Fascinate over a year ago and flashed a ROM for him.

Also...bit off topic, but are there any good Audio Mods for the fascinate..?

*For those currently on a ICS rom and want to upgrade to a Jellybean rom or vise versa. Just download the rom of choice to sd, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then flash rom...should be no need to go all the way back to stock unless your having alot of issues with force closes and what not.
Only thing to add is you'll need to flash the ROM 2-3 times because of a new partition layout...
Don't do anything extra... And it should work fine

So keep flashing it over in recovery 2-3 times??
Any recommendations on a good recovery for him?
I highly recommend CM 10.1, although I had a weird issue lately where no matter what performance settings I was using my music would skip around every 10 min or so, but I'm sure jt will find a fix for it eventually. If you don't constantly play music on your phone like I do then you probably wouldn't mind that little gripe. I've been on Helly Bean now for a few days with no problems, which is basically CM 10.1 with a few extras and Devil Kernel baked in. I know Paranoid is a really good rom, but I haven't tried it myself. We're lucky enough to have great developers that all make excellent roms so just take your pick of the popular ones and have at it

He just means it will abort the flash to warn you that your phone is being switched to the new partition layout and you will lose all your data... it's just a formality and nothing to worry about. All you need to do is flash again after the warning and it'll do it for real

Oh and as far as audio mods, there are a few out there (Acid mod I think?) but if you use CM 10.1 it will come with DSP manager which lets you tweak it a bit, but personally I just use Power Amp and the EQ on that is just phenomenal and I don't even feel like I need anything else because of how good it works.
Alright thanks guys! Just trying to figure out what recovery to upgrade to...maybe TWRP?
Yes it will pop up and say error 7 or warning, but just go ahead and chose reinstall the same zip file again... And it will give error again, so repeat... After the 3rd time,,,, then reboot
The cwm recovery is built in
The hellybean roms have their own with some extra options,,, plus if you want to flash their kernel,,, there is a thread with the info

If you want to use TWRP then go to this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133358 but as hhp already pointed out, each rom comes bundled with it's own recovery so the only time you need to really flash your own is if you're coming from stock and flash CMW4 fixed for CM7

Ohh...weird...its been so long since I had a Fascinate and my TB and Nexus aren't that way haha. Thanks for all your help. I may just flash back to stock using Step 4 and then put PA on or something. His phone is pretty dam buggy, lots of force closes, or permission errors so I figure I will try to get it as cleaned up as possible
if lack of activity is any indicator(as in not too much complaints) then I just want to cast a vote for JellyBro. I am now on 2-25-13 version and its been pretty smooth and solid for me thus far.
it;s working well enough that I was considering setting up a device for my mom(who defintely doesn't have the patience for stuff that doesn;t work).
I use GeeWiz 2.8.1... it has Voodoo audio, and is super fast and smooth. Along with the KGB FA16 Kernel... All of which can be found in my sig including the theme.
I've tried dozens of mtds e.g ICS, JB, etc. and even GeeWiz 4.2... but the GW 2.8.1 is the most stable and fastest. You can also go with 2.9 from the main GeeWiz 2 thread. Even though it's Gingerbread... it's up there with all the newer roms for speed and dare I say even more stable than most newer Roms. AND.. Everything works... unlike a lot of the newer JB roms out there.
Hope that helps.

from what I remember, your going to have to ODIN back to the stock EH03 then up to geewiz , this is because both of partitioning and recovery differences.
.
You don't have to Odin back to stock. The link in my dropbox is a full wipe odin... it's just like going back to stock but not. Just odin the tar and you're good to go. Full eh03 support.
