SCH-I500_USCC_OpenSource.zip @ opensource.sammy
Gonna be checking this out with interest.. Wonder if they cleaned it up any as compared to what they gave us..
This might be useful after all. Kernel just compiled without any changes.. Samsung might've finally released some working source.
cool. let us know how it works when you flash it.
Oh, I'm not going to flash the kernel
Unlike our source, we could compile this source straight from Samsung.. This leads me to believe their code for their OS build is probably clean too.. So we might be able to use some of it to get aosp going.
I generally don't recommend anyone flash kernel's from different HW, but in this instance I think with their kernel source and our stock ramdisk, all that will probably happen is a nice US cellular logo, and a kernel panic. I'm sure someone bored/desperate enough will come along and do it soon enough.

While I agree with your statement I don't think the hardware is actually different in this case. That said, I'm not going to be the first.
I'm also interested to see what .apks from the Mesmerize will work on the Fascinate.
I started a thread discussing that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822186
Very interested in this...hope this will help out the develolment of our phones..
FWIW, I'm pretty sure the model number of the Mesmerize is the SCH-i500, same as the Fascinate, meaning the hardware is identical, so theoretically the code should all be fully interchangeable.

I'm up to give it a try. I have a spare fascinate sitting on my desk at home.I'm at work right now but plan to be back in 3-4 hours. I will need some hand holding though as I don't know what to do.

Uhhhh...no, hehe. My keyword there was "theoretically." I wouldn't let the Captivate flash incident you mentioned scare you though. That IS a different hardware model, with a GSM radio instead of CDMA. I'm not at all surprised it broke the Fascinate.

angel (fallingup) flashed the kernel I built a few days ago using our ramdisk.. It was interesting, but didn't quite get there. No end-of-the-world crash, but it didn't make it far into the boot.
Still looking to see what else we can rip out this source code.
Just to share, I recall some people being disappointed that the Fascinate's Contacts app did not have the ability to swipe left/right for messaging/call. I just copied over the Contacts.apk from the Mesmerize dump and it does work on the Fascinate and has the swipe functionality for those that are interested.

I can't help you with he stock files.. JT has a repository, of the showcase. Geekmouse also has MOST of the Showcase files backed up. So one of them would be a good place to see maybe?

I thought jt got CWM working for the Showcase. That would give you a recovery image. As for the stock files to flash in Odin, that's another story.

Andromeda for one, based on Armani and Cognition is based on the rogers release.
The Rogers source just dropped very recently so I imagine future cog releases will be even better.

Sorry, but Armani is not the same device as SGH-i897. If you flash through Odin the tar posted on samfirmware, it won't detect your sdcard and you'll have a mapping button problem, and screen orientation issue (Just like i9000 ROMs)
There're only two models sharing almost the same specs:
- SGH-i896 (Rogers Captivate)
- GT-i9088 (From China Unicom)

If you wanted AOSP so badly, you should have waited for it to be available on an LTE phone before you bought one. Buyers remorse is no reason to come onto the forums and ***** about not getting something that's unsupported and done in the developer's free time.

I have used CM7 before, and I love it. I look forward to it coming just as much as a lot of people. But I'm not going to get pissed about it because development is going slower than I would like in the perfect world that exists in my brain. I don't get pissed because I know I'm unable to contribute to the process, so I have to just sit and wait patiently.
If you were contributing code daily and fixing issues, and the rest of the people working on the project weren't doing as much as you or stalling on the project, then maybe you'd have an angle for getting upset. But as it stands, you just need to STFU and wait for JT to make a breakthrough like the rest of us.

I used CM7, OMFGB, and jt1134's Vanilla GB on the fascinate, but I have nothing to contribute in the way of development of a ROM except for thorough testing. So I calmly wait and accept the fact I am on the dev's timetable. I suggest you do the same. Couple of things for you to consider:
1) Read the stories about CM7 on the Bionic. Everything I read said it booted on the phone, but is nowhere near functional enough for release. From what I have read of jt's progress on CM7 for the Charge, he is ahead of the Bionic progress.
2) Have you noticed some of the most respected devs, Nitsuj17 and Adrynalyne, have started chiming in here and are telling you to stfu? Especialy Nitsuj17, he is one of the nicest guys I have seen across many forums. It's a truly rare occasion when he responds to someone the way he did here, so good job. That to me is a big clue you are talking out of your ass and are the real clueless one.
Next time you open your mouth it would be a good idea to first remove you head from your ass. It prevents you from spouting nothing but a bunch of ****.

I just read a little bit ago that the motorola cliq 2 just got Gingerbread after a year and four months of no updates at all. Do you think this means we have a chance for GB or just a tease that one old phone gets special support and not the others? And if we got true ginger would it help with the ROM/Mod nation or would it just be putting sparkles on the corpse of our phone?
Probably not. That news inst super recent, and motorola supports their phones a little bit better then samsung. If we get gingerbread it will be through the community more than likely.

Okay, off of the argument is there any chance of a custom made Ginger or is it hypothetical or? I've seen a few people tweaking kernels and such in their threads but Is there a real answer or is it just maybe?

Gingerbread on Sidekick is currently only hypothetical. My take is that it might still be possible, but very difficult.
Sduvick managed to boot an AOSP 2.2 kernel up to a certain point, but IIRC, it was still far from usable. No graphics. His work is available in github.
Winxixi got CM7 booting and into the GUI, but with incomplete driver support. I think he got frustrated and left. His work is also available in github.
I don't know if winxixi would consider continuing development, or if he has moved on to a different device. If he would continue development, and the rest of us helped with troubleshooting, research, etc., perhaps we can get a fullly operational Gingerbread.
It's really just a big project, very difficult for an individual to tackle to completion. Dividing the labor might improve the outlook.

Well, like others have said, maybe not GB, but there's CM6 which can be ported (we're just lacking the knowledge of how to do it)

actually cm6 is being ported as we speak, piece by piece.

Yes, it's being ported using the machete toolchain.
What's the Machete Toolchain? And is CM going to help us get a little farther up the Droid food chain? I mean I don't expect Jelly Bean on my phone but Ginger, or a ginger mock up would be cool, I would like some kind of exploit for the ICS exclusive apps and such to make it a bit smooth (I know It's a basically unattainable dream don't worry
It's a bit of a joke. Machete like this: http://images.google.com/search?q=machete+blade&btnG=Search&tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=&bih=&gbv=1
I.e. he's hacking off pieces Touchwiz as though with a knife.
I think CM6 will if not help, atleast give hope towards CM7 coming to this device.

Honestly I'd be thrilled if we gained a vanilla, built-from-source CM6 ROM, especially if the sources/patches were made fully available.

Its a little more involved then that. Lots of AOSP/CM6 patches to replace the Touchwiz components. Piece by piece im riding the stock rom of Touchwiz. I had to compile and mingle code to get AOSP messaging working correctly.

I know, but the machete image fits better with my feelings toward Touchwiz.

This device is super unique when it comes to the LED lighting. NO other device has this kind of LED setup. So I have no device that is all AOSP to compile it from.

Thanks for giving the SK4G new hope. Cant wait to see some progress although I know that's going to take some time
Yea, My hope is to get 3 different kernels running on this phone in two weeks. It may take a little bit longer.
1) cm6 based on the stock froyo kernel src drop.
2) teamacid's current 2.6.35 gb/ics
3) teamacid's port of aries 3.0.8 ics (eventually jb)
After the kernel is up and booting a basic set of features on the rom, I'll be sending it back to TLS and pushing out some test images.
There will be new recoveries and... I'm sure... a fist full of problems to work through. But it's a start.
Thanks again to nxd!
Wow two weeks? thats great news and thanks nxd, TheLastSidekick and bhundven for everything!

Well, two weeks of straight work. In the end, including having to live my real life as well, it may be a month. The two weeks being time-sliced between finding a job, being Mr. Mom and other work I am doing.

Well, I'm going to leave the testing to bhundven, he's playing with serious stuff here akin to fire. If you play with it and mess up, you will get burned unless you have unbrickable mod down. (Which he said he'll be doing). Unless you're willing to jump into the fire, I don't recommend it. Not to say he's going to put out something unstable, but keep in mind he's pretty much developing from the ground up and problems can arise.

Nah, don't need unbrickable mod for kernel testing.
I will do it if something bad happens, but I doubt that will happen.

Oh? Lol, I thought kernel flashing was dangerous if done wrong. You're the pro though lol, so all bets are on you. xD

Worst case scenario, I act like a total newb and flash the kernel to a bootloader partition. FAIL!
But, I'm sure I'll be a bit more professional then that.
With the kernel, the worst case scenario is having issues going from BML -> MTD or MTD back to BML. (Read this for explanation of BML and MTD)
But that shouldn't affect the SBL (Secondary BootLoader), so I should still be able to use a usb jig to get to download mode and go back to BML at any time.
The last worst case scenario is being totally silly stupid and fat finger a voltage setting and hard bricking the phone by over volting or over heating.
At that point, I'd just buy you a new phone.
Lol no offense I'm not sure I'd need one. The only reason I still have the Sidekick is for a backup in case my Galaxy S 2 decides to commit suicide.

yeah im excited but my sk4g might remain in my arsenal if we get some non tw going
TLS i have the same case as u
bhundven if things go south with TLS's sk4g, i can send mine.
OMG potrait mode video, we are doomed,
Happy that this has happened and hope to test soon the new development.
This thread has served it's purpose. Bhundven has the SK4G now.
/thread and farewell thread!
It's nice for you to send him the Sidekick 4G.
But, PM me, MA is Obvious MA.
