[Telus T959D Fascinate] - Successfully running DarkyROM 10.3, CWR, Voodoo and More!!

Hi guys,
I just wanted to share my experience and thoughts with everyone here in regards to successfully installing the DarkyROM 10.3 on my Telus Galaxy S Fascinate (T959D).
I have always had troubles finding information on Custom ROMS, Kernels and hacks that would work with my Fascinate SGH-T959D. So I ended up taking a leap of faith and figured I would try one of the I9000 ROMs out there.
** By no means is this a guide **
Installation Process:
IMPORTANT: Before upgrading to Darky 10.2 EE, make sure you either restore to factory setting OR uninstall any third party applications you may have installed from the market before you upgrade to Darky 10.2.
I started out by the following process to install DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000 from the following source:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
I used ODIN3 and flashed everything necessary for the upgrade and lucky everything went well. I then downloaded and installed the DarkyROM app from the Android Market. (New Android Market by the way )
Everything appeared to running perfectly so I made the decision to download the DarkyROM XXJVR10.3 which includes the DarkCore3.1 kernel, then moved it to the root of my SD Internal card.
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...wm-sgs-cappy-darkyrom-xxjvr-10-3-beta-1.4508/
The DarkCore3.1 (I9000+I897) kernel includes:
JVR Modem for I9000
DEODEXED
root
busybox
OpenVPN
BASH
RAM Hack
% Battery
Overscroll
Extended power menu
CRT-Off
BLN full support!!!
SIP over 3G and WiFi
I installed DarkyROM 10.3 via the DarkyROM app without any problems. I took the same steps above installing the DarkyROM 10.3 to install the Goldielicious Red RC9.1:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...darkyrom-goldielicious-red-rc9-1-update.4564/
I must say that I don't think I will ever go back to a Stock ROM now that I have tasted Darky's Custom ROMs.
Battery:
With the Darky 10.3 ROM and the Goldielicious Red RC9.1 theme applied, the batter life is amazing compared to when I was on Stock gingerbread 2.3.3. BONUS!!
Launchers:
This ROM comes with the new Launcher and also TWLauncher 4.5. I am using neither of them though. I am still using Launcher Pro Plus which i prefer and works with out any issues if you uninstall and re-install the app.
Networks:
I have read about a lot of people having problems with either there Wireless, 3G and or GPS not functioning properly after flashing a custom rom.. Everything is working flawlessly for me! The wireless is great, 3G is there as always and the GPS connects within 10 - 15 seconds!
Bonus!:
Clock Work Recovery CWR 3.0.2.8x is included as well as Voodoo control (both Lag fixes enabled )
Now the ONLY thing that isn't working properly is what I had expected anyways from installing a I9000 ROM on the T959D. The Home and Search button no longer work but I never used them anyways ways so i don't even notice it! I think there is a Hack or a work around but I figure I not bother trying anything else since everything is running better then perfect!
Oh and another thing that I really like now is that I can actually change the boot up animation and sound too!!
If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask!
Here are screenshots of my Telus Fascinate with the DarkyROM 10.3 and the Goldielicious Red RC9.1 theme:

Hey guys, currently, i got froyo with a supercurio's custom kernel, and have a custom rom running.
Should i go back to stock before i update my telus fascinate to 2.3?
Is that what you did to update to 2.3?
Thanks in advance.

It might be best to go back to stock first just to be sure. I ended up flashing to Darkyrom 10.2 first from Stock gingerbread 2.3.3 + rooted. Then upgraded to Darkyrom 10.3.
So im not 100% sure how clean the installation would be if your already coming from a custom rom. Best to safe and flash back to stock. My 2 cents

Great! I got all my Buttons working correctly now thanks to jpmccarthy!!
Here is how it is done:
You will need a file manager application, like ROOT Explorer or something similar.
Open up /system/usr/keylayout/melfas_touchkey.kl in a text editor.
Make sure that your 'keys' look like this:
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 105 HOME
key 106 SEARCH
...
..
...
Save the file and reboot your phone. All your buttons should work now

No prob, and props to Japots for providing me that how to ... also ES file Manager has a root explorer option you can turn on and is a free app in the market.

I'm willing to try this, but can anyone confirm that it's a safe process?

To fix home button you can use this patch. Just install from recovery.

I'm about to get a T959D, thanks for your guide there!
So when I get the phone, I should flash it back to stock 2.2, upgrade to 2.33 with Kies, root it, then flash to Darky 10.2 then to 10.3?

So far I have successfully installed DarkyROM 10.2 EE on two other Fascinates (T959D) without any issues at all. Both phones were originally upgraded to Gingerbread from 2.2 and gingerbread was also rooted.
So I would suggest upgrading to stock gingerbread first, root it, then preform the DarkyROM 10.2 EE upgrade as mentioned in the first post.
One important thing I didn't mention which i should is that make sure you either restore to factory setting OR uninstall any third party applications you may have installed from the market before you upgrade to Darky 10.2.
I didn't do this and ended up with a number of applications force quitting but all I had to do was uninstall them, then reinstalled after the upgrade.

Got it, thanks for the tips!
I've been reading a bit but I'm still a bit confused... what is the issue behind putting custom roms on the t959d? Seems like CM doesn't work on the t959d either?
That said, as long as the phone runs fast with the voodoo mod, that's all I'll care about, hah.

I'm not 100% sure why and I have never tried installing any other custom ROM besides Darky 10.2.
I found that the battery life was a bit better then Stock 2.3.3 and it ran smoother as well.
Been successful with 3 Fascinates (T959D) now.

Nice! I'm coming from the Samsung Gio. Nobody ever mentions about link2sd or app2sd on these forums... is it because there's enough space to install whatever you like on the T959D? Do you keep a ext 2/3/4 partition on your sd card anyway for apps?

I wonder if restoring your applications from Titianium would achieve the same result - keeping your data and settings without needing to reinstall applications. This is on my to do list, so I will try that as I have a multitude of applications installed and this seems to be the go to way of doing it for most people.
Also be good to do a nandroid backup of your phone first

The complexity is in the phone itself - the Telus Fascinate has nothing in common with the Verizon one - its actually closer to the i9000 or the vibrant - but still not exactly the same. Because it is odd that way, and only offered by Telus, not a lot of handsets out there I think - so not much development BUT we get some GREAT support where folks have made some custom kernels or others try the i9000 ROMS and report back (like here ) In most cases, looks like the buttons are the only issues which is very fixable.
I definitely want to try Darky's but cannot be without a phone, so waiting for a USB Jig (Ordered but not delivered ) first before jumping in.
iwbsource's success (multiple times now!) is definitely a good indicator that will work out though.
Great job!

DarkyROM Tool?
A lot of the how tos say to get this tool for Darkys - but I cannot find it in the Market from my phone (but I CAN from my PC).
Does this only show up once you have Darkys installed so that you can configure it?
That kinda makes sense to me but thought I would ask.
EDIT: That's exactly what happens - you need Darkys installed to get the app.

I can vouch this post.
I got DarkysRom 10.3 on my T959D and it works flawlessly.
Just follow the steps and everything will be fine. I had no problems with this.

Which NAND JB ROM? What radio version do you have? Are the APN settings correct? What bootloader are you using? Did you select MAGLDR or PPP during the installation? You need to give a lot more information before we can give useful advice.

The NAND rom is NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA v2.8
Idk about the radio version but I guess its 2.08?
Boatloader CWM
At the setup I picked MAGLDR not PPP

Your radio version is 2.15, which is fine. Have you checked that the APN settings are correct? Go to settings>mobile network>APN Settings (or something like that, you should be able to find it) and check that the right one is selected. If you need to add a new one, you can usually find the correct settings on your carrier's website or by asking them.

Its pretty empty..
How did you see my radio version? And what is that?

Thank you so much it worked I searched for the APN settings filled them in and rebooted my device now my internet works but I believe its not 3G
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app

What does it say in the status bar when you try to use the internet? If H then it's basically 3.5G, if G or E then you're getting slower than 3G connection. If it's one of those, check that your network setting (not sure where exactly it is but it's in the same place as the APN setting) is 'WCDMA/GPRS (WCDMA preferred)' (I may have got the letters slightly wrong but you'll easily figure it out when you see it).
EDIT: Oh and as for seeing the radio version, it's the end of the top line in your screenshot -'15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14'

Oh that's how you see it.. uhm Now that my internet is working I don't see any difference than before its just the blue connection bar that you're used to on JB. But sometimes a capital R pops up but I guess that's because of the roaming.. everything is fixed now so thanks alot for your help.. I only do not understand why I need to configure that APN mannualy

Normally you don't need to do any manual APN configuration, so it seems a bit odd to me too. At least you got it working though.

Hi, I have the same problem, no 3G Internet, wifi works fine.
I have tried allmost everything I could find about this in this forum, but nothing seems to help.. I hope someone has the knowledge and skill to help me, I am not a developper, but not afraid to push some buttons and try things out. Ok first my configuration:
HTC HD2, with latest official generic HTC ROM downloaded and flashed last weekend from the official HTC website:
http://www.htc.com/nl/support/news.aspx?p_id=297&p_name=htc-hd2
I have installed Dual Boot windows mobile with NativeSD Android, using a 16Gb class 10 SD card, using this instruction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986437
I have installed the Android NativeSD ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437463
I use Rundroid as dual boot app (windows mobile app):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973921
I have set the APN correct according my providers instructions Vodafone Netherlands, like this HTC One X instruction:
http://handleidingen.vodafone.nl/we...internet/de-telefoon-voor-internet-instellen/
I have checked other phones instructions, but they are all the same settings, which is logical of course.
None the less everything is set correctly now, | cannot get 3G internet, when I use windows mobile 3G internet works fine. Data connection is checked ON Roaming is checked ON. Rebooted several times also does not help.
Cell phone and SMS works OK.
I have now even turned off all mobile networking settings in windows mobile (airplane mode), before booting to Androd as windows might run in the background occupying the radio or something (I dont think so, but you never know exactly what is going on)
This all is really frustrating, because the very reason I went over to Android is because mobile internet is more and more crippled with Windows Mobile, because mobile websites I used, are more and more abandoned or not updated anymore because they are replaced by Android, Iphone and windows Phone 7/8 Apps, that obviously do not work on windows Mobile 6.5. Also social media is crippled, as Facebook and Twitter changed server adresses and such, so the old apps fail to find a connection..
At the other hand I do not want to remove Windows Mobile completely, and make it a full android only, because I have some critical applications that only run on Windows Mobile that I certainly do not want to loose (Glider tactical navigation software LK8000, http://lk8000.it/ take a look and you will understand why)
So please help me getting 3G internet back, so I can use it to the fullest again, Big thanks in advance,
Marco Nierop

Oh wtf, forgot to mention the most important thing! excuse me!..
I used the ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437463
NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.9a
By reading about this, I learned that RMNET only works with MAGDLR which I cant use, because I wanted dual boot, so I already installed using PPP, but for all sake I will try again.
I have received a 32GB class 10 SD card today, which I am formatting right now and will set up for installing a jellybean rom, maybe it works better with that rom, I will take special care to check PPP or RMNET. I will let you know if it works,
Thanks so far!

Anyway it's worth trying the one you haven't as both work with magldr.

I have tried this ROM: NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1 V2.0 [NativeSD]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224469
I must say it looks much better then the ICS Rom, but the issue of no 3G internet is still there.. So I think it is the MAGDLR requirement after all as stated in the ROM thread.
But I cannot use MAGDLR, because flashing MAGDLR tool, removes Windows Mobile, which I do not want to loose.
Any advise on a nice working Native SD ROM that does work OK when installed according the dual boot guide, using the 4EXT Recovery tool and NOT requiring MAGDLR?
I will search myself also of course but any advise is much appreciated.
Thanks again!

It is working!
I have reflashed the Jelly Bean Packman ROM, just with the 4EXT recovery tool but the only thing I changed during the ROM installation is selecting the ODEX option. Another thing that might be important is that I have changed location to do this. I am now at my work where cell phone signal is a bit stronger, and now the 3G Internet seems to work (signal indicator is blue with very small 'H' beside it).
Probably it was OK after all, but is the signal at home just a bit too weak to make it work from the start.. however internet was working OK with Wimo 6.5. so why not with Android? maybe it just needs a good signal, during first boot, to make it work?
Also I did not have to go into mobile network APN settings, the blue H signal popped up right from the start
OK, I am happy now, the Packman ROM works fine, is smooth and looks good.. and still able to boot windows mobile (as a PDA) for my gliding activities! Ha!, what a wonderfull machine this is.. 4 years old and still very, very usefull!
Thanks anyways for the great help and directions.

Unable to click install button from apk file

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.

Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.

There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

step 1: Download and Install Titanium Backup https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..

Step 4: Download the ROM (of course) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319177
Step 5. Always do a NAND backup before flashing. Just in case, something goes wrong
Boot to recovery

Synergy will have multi-rom support soon, they are probably working on it.

yea.. i asked virus and trevE and they are just waiting for aroma to work on the s4 and we should see it working on sprint soon!! man i cant wait for that! to have all the great roms devs on one rom and ziggy making the kernel is epic!!

Update
I got 4G LTE to work after first boot using the step I provide earlier but it will drop to 3g only once you restart your phone. You won't lose data but you won't have 4g LTE either. So if you don't mind about 3g. Then it's all good. Until someone can figure out how to bypass the error I got after rebooting. Look at the attachment

Can you tell me what phone(s) trevE and virus are on? TrevE helped with rooting the Evo 3D, iirc. And they were both working on the ROMs and kernels for the 3D. Did they move on to the Evo LTE? Thanks.

If for any reason after you flash back to your carrier ROM and you don't get 4g LTE back. Goto Setting >More>System Update>Update PRL.

It is one of the better roms, stable, I ran it on the g3 since it was released, the S4 version, is better.

Anybody besides ntajlis and axman tried this yet. I'm bored and thinking about it.

Still contemplating here. I kind of just want to wait until it comes to Sprint. But we'll see how long that takes I guess.

yeah.. it was working fine till i flashed a google edition rom

after flashing stock rom two times, one after other without reboot , i got some sounds working
now, call, ringtone etc working. but when i try to play music, sound is gone

it's weird now
after flashing stock firmware, sound works, i mean everything
but if i play a mp3 file, sound crashes and freezes the phone. wma, .ogg file formats can be played

Have you tried already Flashing to an TouchWiz Rom (Not Stock Rom but Custom Rom like ( Thunder Universe, Omega Rom, Arrow Rom, etc) ) ?

tried cm11,cm12, google edition rom, but didn't try any custom touchwiz. Also I've tried fully stock XXUGNK4, XXUGNH8 touchwiz rom

I think you should try any custom rom, i like Thunder Universe and Omega Rom, but you choose what you like, but that's because Samsung have some specs that Google don't have, and Touchwiz use everything that samsung has, unlike google that doesn't work very well on samsung, it loses something.
I am Saying by my own experience not saying technically.
If Someone that understand better, please feel free.
I hope i helped if not, well have hope and try replacing the sound component.
if i find something i might help you. :highfive:
Edit: you should try installing Viper4Android too. It is a software for Sound. search for it.

If it happens across multiple roms then it is definitely a hardware problem

flashing custom roms could have some bugs for your device. try to flash stock ones.
