[TELUS T959D Fascinate]-Running ONECOSMIC'S ICS

Hello.
This is where you can look at the tutorial and get the files to install if you feel like jumping into it ...
ICS Step by step and files
Note: if you do flash this and it hangs at the boot screen, pull the battery and flash it again and it should work. Some have had to do it 3 times.
I take no credit for this ROM and full props go to the developers of the above post and all those working to make this happen.
First the look and feel of ICS is nothing short of superb. The speed as of now is similar to all the other ROMS I have tried with a little chop here and there but nothing major.
Yes lots of little issues and items that do not work like the camera and GPS but not a huge deal for me so I am willing to stick to it.
Battery so far is decent. 13 hours and 43 min. on the first charge to calibrate and sitting at 24% still. This included allot of playing with the phone and reboots to test jigs
As for the issues that are somewhat bothersome, they include the following.
1. No home or search button. I know same as usual when installing an i9000 ROM but the key mappings from the GB ROMS does not work.
2. BLN (issue all around) will remain lit until you wake the phone to get the notification.
3. They had to do some funky stuff to get 3G to work so it lags to start. Not a huge deal cause it does start and remain working.
I will be continuing to use this ROM and hopefully everything will be working soon (these guys are flying. Also I have been told that the folks over at Glitch are already working on the kernels for the ICS port so that is promising as well.
If there are any other out there running this on our phone chime in with your thoughts or fixes if you have any.
Thanx
Bucky

Thanks for starting this thread. Can't wait to hear about your progress.

Alpha 7
Hey here is the update ...
Installed the Alpha 7 update today and I have to say this rom is fantastic.
1. Camera is fixed and works like a charm.
2. GPS locked in seconds and accurate indoors!! Big improvment over all other roms I have used.
3. HW Acceleration is fixed and working from what I can tell
4. You Tube is fixed and can watch video
Still on the not working list
1. Can not plug the phone in while off as it just restarts. this is a work in progress and known issue
2. Can not record video
3. Will not read a SIM card for contacts and so on (thank god for Google sync)
4. Still no home or search buttons (I think I may need to work on that on myself unless a kernel is released)
SO my review so far ...
No real issues with the general use of the phone. Text, phone, email and web are solid, I have installed apps from the market with no issues and not one FC yet. Battery life is good and nothing is taking over. I have been able to use the phone all day and still have lots left over before going to bed and plugging in. I have not been through a full battery as of yet but that is what I am working on now.
Memory - Last I looked I had 174MB of memory remaining which is the highest I have seen.
ICS is really smooth and fast while moving around. I am going to continue to play with it and report back here for everyone.
I don't use a whole lot of apps so there won't be much regarding those.
Thanx for stopping by and I will post pics when I can.

Thanks for the update. From your review, it sounds like an awesome rom. Can't wait to try it but need them to fix the video recording first. Although I might just cave and try it out just to see what the fuss is all about
Can always restore my current setup... lol.

Update ...
been getting the SOD today and not sure why, I mentioned above that the HW acceleration was working, I misunderstood and it is not fully working yet.
I found that the system partition is very small. There was an update which required copying libs and there was not enough space left to do this (2MB). Not too sure if this is due to coming from MIUI or just a ROM issue.
Alpha 8 was released but had quite a few issues so not flashing that one.
Daily use has been great so far (except for the SOD) with no reception or data issues.
I am still working on the home and search buttons but I think that will get fixed with a kernel update. I tried the keymap file but these buttons do not even register in recovery so I get nothing in the ROM either.
More to come ...

Haven't tried this (likely won't as I need the phone for work) but buck have you tried the manual key fix - some directions in our thread on putting on Darkys 10.3.

Hey buck , was doing some searching in teamhacksung's thread about their ICS port, and someone suggested to change the following and then the key mapping for our phones will work properly. Not sure if the file system is the same for both, but definitely a bit of info if it isn't!
All you have to do is change this part on**arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c*

Hey, have a telus fascinate too. Know how to flash and all that fun stuff. Just don't fully follow where you make the changes for key mapping...if you could just guide me in the right direction, I can figure the rest out...
changes in the kernel zip? the beta zip? after flashing? something completely different?
thanks a lot!

There are no changes to be made with this ROM, they are built in. Just flash and all good.
I will post update tonight after work.

yeah sorry realized that immediately after posting / flashing to the new rom.
have you tried out BT audio? I can connect to different devices but audio won't stream

There are allot of BT related posts in the QA. I personally do not use any BT but I do have a headset that I will try when I get home.
Seems to be a battery drain issue too as my phone is now dead but I have not calibrated so we will see after I do that.

AT LEAST YOU GUYS HAVE IT RUNNING!!
I am having a hell of a time trying to get it to work. I have tried so many different ways to get it up and running but no luck.
I've tried installing it from MIUI 3 times but all I get when trying to boot into ICS for the first time is a Black Screen after the FuguMod boot screen.
The funny thing is that the 4 soft buttons at the bottom light up still.
So I then decided to try the JVT way:
-Flashed JVT DARKYROM (ODIN)
-Lagfix OFF
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-FLASHED CM7.1 STABLE
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-Flash ICS BETA1
-Flash kernel
-FOR THE SECOND TIME:
-Flash ICS BETA1 AGAIN
-Flash kernel AGAIN
Same issue, black screen after the FuguMod boot screen, buttons still light up.
So i tried a couple more times in a few different ways based off what I have already tried, but this time, before booting into ICS for the first time, I installed the 'Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip' package.
Same issue. I'm not having any luck here.

OK so here is what I did ...
Started from MIUI 1.11.18
1. Do a nandroid backup
2. download all the files to the SD card. This includes the ROM, Kernel and super user fix
Links:
Kernel:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip
ROM:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1-i9000.zip
Super User:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
3. Boot to recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and davlik cache
4. Install the Kernel first and reboot now
5. Boot into recovery factory reset and wipe cache and Davlik and Install the ROM then reboot now
6 Boot back to recovery and install the Kernel again with out the wipe
7. If after reboot you do not have root then boot to recovery and flash super user fix
8. reboot and it should be working at least it was for me
It seems to me that you are missing the first flash of the kernel before the ROM. It sets up the file system from what I gather
Note: If needed flash the kernel and rom then kernel again with all the wipes as mentioned above.
I know there are allot of folks having issues getting it to run. Not too sure if it was the way I installed MIUI that might have made the difference.
My battery is charging now so I can calibrate it and see how it goes after that (it drained pretty quick today) lol.
I hope you can get it going cause it truly is awesome
Still not working:
Can not charge with the phone off
Google TTS stops working
Phone will not vibrate for SMS or email when in silent mode
BLN stays on for notifications until the phone is taken out of sleep (can be turned off)
Compass is why off (have not attempted to calibrate yet though)
11 MB left in the system partition (not much but I do not think there will be many changes there)
Video play back is choppy and some will not play
Bucky

regarding the black screen:
- had that too... I let it sit on the black screen for 2-3 minutes and then it went to the boot screen animation (a multi-coloured )...that for a few minutes...then finally booted.
How i got it working:
a) Started on MIUI...booted into clockwork
b) Backup
c) Wipe data / factory reset and cache and dalvik cache
d) Install rom and then kernel
e) Restart
f) Install rom and then kernel
g) Restart and wait very patiently for a little while
h) Once it all works, can reboot into clockwork and install superuser
Good luck! I really think the rom is nearly stable enough for daily use...
-------
Also have the no vibrate on silent... haven't tried the other stuff yet.
Oh and TTS hasn't crashed on this version yet for me...
Astrid glitches a little to a lot.

Changing from google tts to picco tts solves the problem there. As for the other stuff it is all reported as known.
I am using as a daily on my phone and no issues with general use. Still testing battery and that seems to be a bit of an issue with regard to Android OS as usual

So to install this ROM I would just have to install it as per totallydubbed's instructions? I don't want to flash miui if I don't have to to try this out.

Regarding flashing Glitch.v14-pre5 bootloop fix

Hi all
since i cannot post in Developer's apropriate forum i share with you here..
I have tried all ICS rom there is (not that many yet..) with Glitch v14 pr5 kernel, and they ALL give me bootloops... if not right away then after some period of time, and there is NO way to enter CWM
So i reflashed many many times in odin with different stock and other roms, but always with same result bootloops or a glitch screen logo that dont go any further.
Only if i go in recovery and format ALL options avalible and do a wipe data/factory reset afterwards + run the reset nstools zip avalible (off course only if you have been installing the glitch kernel )
Only then i get a error free install + i can boot in CWM and reboot whitout getting these errors......
Then im able to install > [ROM]SGS ICS 4.0.3 Doctor's ROM [01-12-2012]
and running on day 2 whit out any errors now..
Using nstools to oc and undervolt, is working fine selecting one of the 2 new goveneurs interactiveX or smartassv2 and DIDDLE deep sleep working perfect, BUT nstools wont tel you i always shows 0 in idle time (its nstolls fault) but voltage control EXTREME shows the right numbers
EDIT: Forgot to say that i pulled the externel sd card before going into CWM ! and do NOT deactivate nctools in app maneger !
Hope its ok posting this here ? plz delete or move else admins
Greets to all

[Q] ICS Screen Autorotate not working

The Official OTA 4.0.3 ICS update broke auto rotation. The rest of the thing is running smooth as butter, but no auto rotation and the switch isn't doing anything.
Anyone know of a fix to this? I had this prob with the leak but after rooting and reinstall leak from scratch it cured itself. This one isn't doing that.
Is there an app to set the orientation of the screen manually that i can use in the interim??
------------------------------------------
400+ Views later, i think quite a few people have this issue and are trying to find a solution to this.
So far, thank you networkdawg for your app suggestion for manually rotating the screen, however that is a paid for app with a few too many options for my need. I'm currently using Mantano Reader Free to rotate my screen.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
------------------------------------------
Before i accidentally upgraded to the ICS leak, i had my old HC bootloader and was running Lightspeed flawlessly.
Does anyone know of a way to downgrade the bootloader back to HC so i can run a custom bootloader?
OR
a custom bootloader for ICS?
------------------------------------------
Ok so in the end i used jazzyjames' tutorial and blasted HC + HC Bootloader back onto my tab (accelerometer now working once more), rooted, ran Acer Recovery Installer and loaded Light Speed ICS once more.
Everything is working swimmingly. No issues and i got ICS running like a champ.
When the hardworking devs in the dev section have streamlined the ICS bootloader unlocker and installing of a custom recovery a little further, i may try the ICS bootloader once more. But for now, to just have a functional tab, im sticking with the old stuff a little longer.
Thanks Civato, Blackthund3r and jazzyjames for their excellent tools and tutorials. I could not have done it without their help.
------------------------------------------
Update May 08 2012
Did something new, reverted back to stock 3.2.1 (the Gen 2 that was used in Jazzy's revert tutorial), did an OTA upgrade to ICS Official. On first run everything worked.
The minute i rebooted, the accelerometer stopped working.
Followed Civato's tutorial down to the letter, got the custom ICS bootloader working with recovery. Ran like a charm.
Installed a custom ROM (Lightspeed), accelerometer was still not working.
MY TAKEAWAY ---- The accelerometer issues is not a problem with ICS itself, but related to the new chipset firmware and bootloader included with the ICS update. I could be wrong here.
Anyone have any other insights into this?
Back to HC bootloader once more (accelerometer working again) no dice with ICS bootloader :S

I'm not aware of any apps that will switch orientations, only lock it.
Have you tried switching the lock to off then rebooting to see if that resets it?
I have noticed the orientation check isn't as sensitive as it used to be so sometimes I have to wait a few extra seconds or orient the tablet a little more [than usual] to get it to switch over. But it does work.

I have the rotation problem also. As a workaround, I installed this and it works great, although manually.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate

veer01_42 I'd be interested in your review of that app if you use it and/or pay for it.

I have the same issue. I have a couple apps that are orientation locked and I can use them to rotate but it's very annoying. Hope this gets fixed soon

anyone try a factory reset to see if that fixed it

A factory reset fixed it for me
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA

Been factory resetting this thing all night, no beans at all.

With the 4.0.3 leak, after one reset it worked for me, but i never got it to repeat again. So don't go factory resetting your tab in a hurry if you know whats good for you, especially if your rotation is working.

Good app, lots of options, but for what i want, this app is too much and it puts an icon next to the clock for quick access, but you cant preset the orientations there. There are only three, locked, auto and whatever you have it in now.
To get to the other options, tap the notification and it brings up a menu with all the other orientations (over 10 of them) its too much for me. But its an extremely powerful app.
Not worth the money as a workaround to a stupid accelerometer.

Encountered the same issue. I was in Portrait mode, playing Draw Something, and suddenly it just rebooted and went into Landscape mode. After a factory reset, it is not fixed. Not sure where to go, but this is highly disappointing for a tablet I paid close to $500 for...

Try wipe cache, it works for me. All said methods in the forum doesn't work for my tablet though.

What cache?
Do you mean Pwr Button + Volume Up while toggling screen lock switch?
Or is it something else?

On some a500 that were rooted and accepted the ics ota, a few things got broken during the upgrade. Flash a stock rooted ice rom, but before you do go into recovery and and select backup an restore,click on toggle backup of internal storage. Then you should see enabled on the screen. Then do full reset in mounts and storage plus your normal wipe. This will fully format everything on your tab but sd . When you reflash the new ics rom everything should work fine.

variations on problem for different versions
More pieces to the puzzle.
I just downloaded and installed Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 (very close to stock OTA, but rooted) from XDA and applied it over the stock OTA I had received from Acer directly, Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1.
Under Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 screen rotation (and the error 26's) would not clear. I could not get the rotation to work at all, even with multiple reboots, and hard (pinhole) resets.
I restored to Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1 and rotation is back to it's unstable self, but at least a pinhole reset will clear it.

Marshmallow ROMs freeze and crash = Hardware Problem?

Hello everyone!
I have been experiencing a strange issue with almost all the Marshmallow ROMs currently in the development section. The Phone boots, Setup Wizard runs, and in between, the screen freezes/hangs and after 5-10 seconds the phone reboots. Again the setup wizard runs and even if i'm able to complete the wizard, the phone frequently hangs and then reboots.
I had been running Paranoid Android 5.1 ROM before flashing the Marshmallow ROM and this strange issue suddenly started. I have tried to flash stock rom and then flash twrp, then flash the ROM, even wiped everything several times. Still the same issue persists. This is really getting annoying as i have tried 3-4 different ROMs and 2 GApps and still the screen freezes and then phone reboots.
And this happens only on Marshmallow ROMs as i again have currently installed Chroma 5.1.1 ROM and its running smoothly. I am beginning to think of it to be a hardware issue. Can anyone help me solve this?

Flash Frank ROM, Flash Tuxi Gapps from Frank's OP, no one is having any issues now. Also don't forget to do a factory reset if you can even the Internal data.

I have done factory reset several times. Even flashed stock via fastboot multiple times. Done the exact same steps you mentioned. Its not only with Frank ROM actually, i tried another Marshmallow ROM and the same thing happened again.
How is it that Lollipop ROMs are running smooth and Marshmallow ROMs are crashing?

seems like it's Gapps/ ROM problem (with setup wizard)
this my only suggestions:
1. try to flash Frank's M without Gapps > reboot normaly
if this worked, then it's related to Gapps issue...
if it still remains, then
2. Flash ROM, Gapps, wipe, etc.
after that back to home of TWRP > Mount > Mount system > back > Advanced > File manager > go to /system/priv-app
search for folder name related to Setup wizard/ Google setup wizard (NOT GooglePartnerSetup) > delete it > reboot
3. fingercrossed it will bring you to home screen without any problem...
good luck then :fingers-crossed:

Thanks i'll try this out when i get back home. Although i did try flashing just the ROM to see if GApps were causing the issue. Without GApps, the phone booted to the homescreen, but then after 5-10 mins would reboot itself. I don't know may be it has got something to do with temperature? Because i've noticed that the phone becomes very hot when it first boots up on a new ROM(i know its normal for it to get hot). But when i used the phone on a Marshmallow ROM when the phone was NOT hot, it went on pretty well for 20-30 mins and then again rebooted.

Here's another update. I tried the new Chroma Marshmallow ROM and it too had the same issue. The phone hangs/freezes randomly and then reboots. After trying so many ROMs, i think the issue is with hardware itself. None other has reported this issue, nor could i find it anywhere else. I guess i can say that my(and only my) nexus 4 is not compatible with Marshmallow officially and unofficially.

I don't know what kernel Frank's uses but you could always try to flash an alternate kernel. I haven't taken the jump to Marshmallow yet, but it seems TaUrUs and hellsCore support M (I currently use hellsCore with stock L).

I'll try another kernel and ping back.

Probably lacked boot the system before you install GApps.

The FC of Setup Wizard is discussed in the ROM thread of Chroma.
You can try this because it is advised by the Dev of Chroma and supported by many others and I have succeeded with this.
Flash stock L and boot up.
Boot into TWRP (make sure you have the latest) and factory reset.
Flash Chroma 1/11/2015 and Bank's Gapps without boot/reboot in between and no wipe afterwards.
Reboot.

At least for Chroma, that is a wrong approach. No boot between ROM and Gapps flash.

Make sure you have permissions granted to all of the apps. I had similar issues, and had to do with Location and apps making calls to GPS. Would cause a reboot, and not just a force close. Try amending the Location settings as well. All else fails, capture a logcat.

Everyone thanks for your time!
I found the solution. bjb2's suggestion did the trick. I flashed TaUrUs-Mallow Kernel after Frank Marshmallow ROM and everything seems fine now. Have been running Marshmallow since a day without any issues. Still it's curious why the stock kernel gave such errors.
Thanks everyone again for your suggestions and help

SM-G900F restarts constantly but only when left idle

I have an unlocked Galaxy S5 from "Three" Ireland (3IE) that restarts many times during the day but only when I leave it idle. Either on its own or while charging.
When its not charging at home, the restarts drain the battery very quickly.
Unrooted, latest stock ROM for this carrier (Android 6.0.1 G900FXXS1CQD1_G900F3IE1CPJ3_G900FXXS1CQA3)
I searched the forum and tried the following in this order:
1. Replace the battery
2. reset factory settings (and reinstall everything)
3. Flash stock ROM using ODIN v3.12.3 (same ROM version)
Nothing helped. :crying:
I didn't reset factory settings (again) after flashing stock ROM since I don't think that will make a difference. Any ideas?

Did you have any custom rom installed before? Try flashing latest bootloader for the phone and checking, if all else fails try a custom rom and see if the problem persists.

No custom ROM while the phone was in my possession. It could have been before I got it (I'm not the original owner) but when I did get it I was on stock and unrooted (at least according to "Root Checker").
Didn't I get the latest bootloader when I flashed the latest stock ROM? I remember seeing the files "boot.img" and "modem.bin" in ODIN.
Also if you have any suggestions for a good custom ROM I'm all ears :angel: (I like bug-free*, speed and battery life. In that order of importance)
* - I know there's no such thing as "bug-free" but you get the idea

Sometimes you have to flash bootloader again separately, specially if it was changed to an later version than the one you are flashing through odin, and I would suggest a custom touchwiz rom which is close to stock but with bloat removed and some speed tweaks maybe for the most bug free experience. But also maybe give stock android roms a try, most bugs should be ironed out.

OK, last night I tried a couple of things:
1. I flashed Slim6 6.0.1.build.2.1 and twrp-3.2.3-0-klte (with wiping) - didn't help.
2. I took the sim card & sd card out - didn't help.
3. I ran logcat from ADB using USB debugging to see if I could get the error before the restart - While the phone was connected and logcat was running, the phone never restarted. Even when the screen timed out and turned off. (I guess the phone doesn't count this as "idle")
oh, and thanks for all the assistance so far
The fact that it happens on custom ROM leads me to think hardware. The fact that it doesn't happen if I keep the phone "busy" leads me to think software. What should I try next?
