I have finally, successfully, gotten jt1134's device tree and Froyo framework all configured for the Mesmerize. This is a Vanilla Froyo (no Cyanogenmod) build and works enough to play around with (= But, I should warn you, this isn't a terribly stable build, so don't freak out if something acts weird d= Also, I'm not responsible for any harm you may do to your devices..
It's late and I have an 8:00 am tomorrow so I haven't tested everything out yet, but what is working and not working should be similar to what jt1134 has listed over in his Fascinate thread. Here's what I've tried though:
Working:
Phone
SMS
GPS
WiFi
Not Working:
Data?
Bluetooth
Camera
sdcard?
Oh, and it may randomly 'boot loop' a few times.. don't freak out though.
For this to work you need to be using the Mesmerize Froyo kernel I recently posted. To get everything setup just download the ROM and the Kernel and put them on your sdcard. Boot into recovery and make a backup. Wipe your data and cache partition. Flash the ROM. Flash the Kernel. Reboot. Froyo! If you're going to try to adopt this ROM for everyday use (good luck), make sure you grab the GApps package and flash that last.
I haven't got a Mesmerize device tree on github yet, but you can find the alterations to the kernel up. Really, you should look at jt's source/github because that's where all the dirty work is done (= Also, some of his work is under ModADroid on github.

I'll post a link to a nonvoodoo kernel when I get one compiled.

Be careful!! This kernel is named the same as jt's Voodoo Sound 2.1 Kernel that he released yesterday. You may want to rename one of the two if you plan on using both. The ROM will bootloop or freeze at the lockscreen if you mistakenly use a 2.1 kernel (=

I think it has to do with the mounting. It looked the same as the other init.rc's that I was looking at, but it was all running together at that point last night. I'll dig into it some more tonight and look at the mounting of the base init file and see what I can come up with. Hopefully something will jump out.
Dont pull bin/vold from a prebuilt image, make sure you're building the aosp version. Also, make sure you are pulling prebuilt/vold.fstab from my device repo.
Android uses the vold daemon and fstab files to manage sdcard mounts, not a simple mount command like the ones used in init.rc for other partitions.

No, you also need to revert to a 2.1 kernel as well. I mean 2.1 will boot on this kernel, but I can't say that it will work perfectly, and I found my scdard still didn't after a restore until I reverted kernels.
So restoring doesn't change the kernels, just the rom?

What you should do is download jt1134's Mesmerize Voodoo5 w/ Voodoo Sound kernel and flash it. You should then take a backup in perfect working order. If you want to play with 2.2, wipe, flash the rom, then kernel. When you're done, wipe, restore the backup, then flash the previous kernel.

Sweet waiting for a few more things to be functioning before I try using it. Thought maybe about trying to tomorrow but only as a test.
Edit: I just flashes the ROM and Kernel last night 0 problems booting and starting up phone was basically functioning then when I installed the Froyo Gapps I couldn't use the phone anymore because no data connection couldn't get passed the google account setup but seemed to work.
The only thing that was weird is before I installed the gapps zip while playing around the phone kept going back to the silver Android logo seeming as if it was restarting and going back to the lock screen but I managed to test the Phone, called 611 got US Cellular so that works!
Thanks again for your work I definitely and looking forward to this.
Big thanks to the devs! This is an awesome step forward. I flashed the ROM and Kernel, and although it's definitely alpha, it's awesome progress!

It's pitiful that team of hobbyists and enthusiasts, working for free, in their spare time can port 2.2 faster than Samsung, who employs a full staff of software and hardware engineers, armed with development tools and source code. SAMSUNG, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

Samsung could have rolled out an firmware update but from what I've read they leave it up to the carriers to decide when they roll out updates.. especially OTAs since its on their end. US Cellular does spend a large amount of time testing their phones before releasing anything because their still small business orientated. That said, they easily could have rolled something out for us much earlier than this, as far as the small business goes they could have released it un-supported to commercial users and told business' not to load it yet plus not shipped any phones with it.. at least we'd have the option then..

Since the Mesmerize is just starting to bloom this page will be helpful in the future. I figured we can list the ROMS that work on our phones in one spot. My plan is to keep it updated with all the Roms and kernels for the Mesmerize. Make sure you check the thread for more details. So shall we get started. (if i miss any let me know and Ill get it added)
ROMS:
DI14 Pick-n-Pack 0.2 ROM
Downloads: Here Mirror Here
This is a stock, deodexed ROM with minor changes. No dependencies have been removed, therefore all stock apps should work as expected. Although this is very similar to the stock setup, it is still not stock and by flashing any or all parts of this ROM you understand the dangers of such flashing. Do a backup before you flash anything.

DI14 Blues ROM
Download: Here
This is in beta as I have not yet gotten everything in it that I want, but it's a good start and usable. As usual take a nandroid backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone while flashing any of this content. That being said, I have had no problems with any of it. It uses all of the dependencies so all of the stock apps should work and anything that has been removed can be added from the Pick-n-Pack ROM.

CAUTION - WARNING
Do not use the partition sd card option in rom manager. It will mess up the phone's master boot record and you will have to rewrite the original one in order for voodoo kernels or anything that modifies the boot record to work properly.
dcow90 said:
I know it may be tempting to flash Fascinate or Showcase (or Vibrant, or i9000, etc) ROMs and Kernels especially since the Fascinate is starting to get some Froyo alpha builds. It is also probably a bit confusing as to why (since we PRETTY MUCH have the same hardware) it wouldn't work. [Unless you can confidently recover from a soft brick without breaking a sweat on your palms and are willing to risk the small chance of a hard brick] Don't.

There is a new leak of gingerbread out for the SGS over in the I9000, and apparently this is supposed to be version that will be the official release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
Nice, hopefully it doesn't take forever to see it officially released like it did with Froyo!
Waiting for source
I'm not too worried about AT&T, I believe once the source is released we will have many official releases XDA style
once the source is out we will have it. thank god for xda! and of coarse supercurio! i have been rocking out to music for the last couple days thanks to voodoo sound, not that the sound was bad before but now i can really appreciate it. also getting some better iem's (in ear monitors) the samsung ones are ok, well for an included accessory they are amazing but nothing compared to what is out there. i wouldnt think about getting a different phone right now. but i will see if the infuse has the hifi wolfson amp in it. the galaxy s 2 looks amazing but makes me wonder what will be out when i am up for a new contract.
Neat, hope the source appears sooner rather than later after the official release.
Lol... I must be losing it. And official sgs 2.3 leaks and this is the extent of the discussion. .... Lol wtf.
most people are more excited by cm7 for some reason. this is what i will use as soon as a reorient kernel comes about, all i can do is hope the source is realesed shortly. i think it was available pretty quick after jpx/jpy were released so i think it wont take long.
Nevermind

Regardless... It's a big deal. And none of the other threads made it very far. At all.
Go look at the i9000 forums. They're littered with posts and 2.3 sgs roms. All we have are crickets.
To be fair, we don't have the source available, so the leaked rom is kind of useless to us. It's a neat novelty, just to flash for a few minutes to see what's in store, but it's definitely not something you would use daily.
Just downloaded the Rom.. anyone know of a good kernel to use with this rom?? will CM7 kernel work with this rom? since its 2.3.3

Highly doubtful.. It should come with a compatible kernel and modem packaged in to it.
I wouldn't flash it straight through odin if I were you, though. If you have access to a linux machine, you should repackage it as a cwm flashable zip that doesn't flash boot or sbl, otherwise you risk either perma-bricking your phone or locking your bootloader.
My memory must be going. I remember us having ported i9000 2.2 roms well before the source dropped.

Vibrant owners have a port of this already, so yes it would seem that reorienting can be done without source, but devs aren't touching this for some reason...I really hope that changes cause I want to try this out but don't have the knowledge base to try to reorient the kernel myself and don't have time to learn currently.
No source, no kernel, no ROM. That simple.

Hey all. Been a while since my last release of anything, which was sense based, but I really wanted to start learning android and have a better perspective of it. I decided to dig a bit more into compiling android. Started horsing around with github and learned to start compiling my own builds from aosp wih the help from cmsrc, evervolv, and a few others githubs. Since the release of gingerbread to aosp, i moved away from sense. There are things that i do miss about sense, but the usability of the phone without it is just unmatched imho. Many people use or have used cyanogenmod. IMHO is a great open source project that has some of the best devs out there. I have always been more into the 'vanilla' look opposed to the themed and aftermarket. Recently i have been compiling gingerbread for the evo and mt4g and have had nothing but the best reviews. Basically the reason why i am here. Wondering if there was any interest in a few of my builds. Main reason from moving away from CM6/7 (cyanogenmod), ADW launcher and the extra added bloat(sorry) and themes. Battery life will always be one of my main concerns. Everything should work!
1.3 build is based off 2.3.7. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.35 (thanks cm team).
1.2.1 build is based off 2.3.4. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.35 (thanks cm team).

The new cm7 and evervolv are 2.3.4... Only the latest releases of the kernels will work... I'm not sure exactly which ones but I ran cm7 for last couple months and bc's kernel and the stock cm7 kernel worked best on my shift.
I'm almost positive that the kernel devs state in their threads if the kernel will work with 2.3.4...

The last time I used a kernal on a 2.3.4 rom it made wifi not work so I dont think im going to mess with a kernal on this one.
the kernal on this rom is workin great so far, i like that i don't need setcpu, i can use overclock/underclock in the settings... amazing rom
Hey all. Been a while since my last release of anything, which was sense based, but I really wanted to start learning android and have a better perspective of it. I decided to dig a bit more into compiling android. Started horsing around with github and learned to start compiling my own builds from aosp wih the help from cmsrc, evervolv, and a few others githubs. Since the release of gingerbread to aosp, i moved away from sense. There are things that i do miss about sense, but the usability of the phone without it is just unmatched imho. Many people use or have used cyanogenmod. IMHO is a great open source project that has some of the best devs out there. I have always been more into the 'vanilla' look opposed to the themed and aftermarket. Recently i have been compiling gingerbread for the evo and mt4g and have had nothing but the best reviews. Basically the reason why i am here. Wondering if there was any interest in a few of my builds. Main reason from moving away from CM6/7 (cyanogenmod), ADW launcher and the extra added bloat(sorry) and themes. Battery life will always be one of my main concerns. Everything should work!
1.3 build is based off 2.3.7. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.x (thanks cm team).
1.2.1 build is based off 2.3.4. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.x (thanks cm team).

Downloading now. Glad to see another rom to try in Hero Land! Thanks.
I have heard good things about deck roms from my evo friends, thanks for adding heroc to the lineup!
Thanks for this. Looks like I'm gonna need a bigger sdcard for all the nands of different roms coming out lately. (which is good, cuz my upgrade isn't until next year). Look forward to trying this out.
Edit : gapps with voicemail.. Google voice, I assume?

Actually Sprint voicemail. I use Deck Roms on my Evo... Best rom hands down and always updating. I can only assume you would get the same with the Hero side. Going to have to get this for my daughters phone now. Thanks as always Deck.
But wait... all of these roms are the same...

Well, they're based off of 2.3.4, so maybe in that respect they are. Have you flashed this, or the evervolv rom?

so this is pretty much another pure aosp rom right?

not really its a stripped down full featured cm7 build with better battery life and some of the gruff removed (cm wallpapers and a few others taken out) its around the range of what aosp was doing
Just flashed this. I'm loving that all these roms are popping up for the Hero since I've probably got another year before I can switch to a different phone. I've been wanting to get away from CM7 and so far this rom seems like a winner. I was loving asopmod for froyo and would love to get back to something that works just as good as that. Had some little issues with CM7 and I'm not really into all the extra stuff they add.

Its so funny, I guess those of us with kids will be giving our hand-me-downs to them. I gave my Heroc to my daughter when I got my Evo. Too bad she won't get the Evo though, as I am upgrading to the Evo 3D soon, and need to sell the Evo to cover the cost. I'm sure glad there are some awesome ROMs like this one to keep the Heroc relevant. My daughter is quite happy, and frankly, I'm impressed! ;-)
gapps with vvm?
does that means there's no phantom voicemail when you flash the gapps signed zip with vvm?
Are the gapps packages in the OP compatible with other GB roms?

As dumb as it sounds, this is exactly why I've stayed with 2.1. And I've stayed with nFinite's Stock release (cleaned up a bit) because of the unmatched battery duration. My interest is piqued

you can get rid of the phantom voicemail by using Go SMS Pro and blacklisting it..
vvm has worked for me in all AOSP ROMs ..
I am currently on Aosp 5/21, using firerats 100 15, cw mod 3xxx. Wiped everything. Would not leave the htc boot screen. Suggestions. Everything was wiped and followed procedures in op

Yes VVM has worked, and yes you can blacklist a number. But blacklisting doesn't stop notifications that several texts were missed, which can't be viewed because it's blacklisted. GoSMS gives you the additional option to view blacklisted messages, which will finally get rid of the notification. But now you're manually checking a VVM text, which has completely defeated the purpose of blacklisting it in the 1st place. This proved to be enough of an annoyance to return to a modified Stock ROM.
This was my experience with CM6. Have tried GoSMS several times but keep coming back to Handcent. If any AOSP has Sprint VVM notifications ignored, thus bypassing the issue above, then I'm all ears.
I tried flashing 'Gapps 5-22-2011 with Voicemail' and got an Installation aborted error message when verifying the update package.
E:Missing file: system/app/BooksPhone.apk
E:Verification failed.
I'm using AmonRA 1.6.2 for recovery.
Edit: Same error with just the plain Gapps in the OP. I ended up flashing a different gapps file and that flashed fine. Finishing up with setting up the phone, so far, so good.
Samsung said they found a issue in the gb released and pulled it from their servers, is this True? Samsung claims to have the issue fixed by Friday.

Why Bother
Why bother with this total fail of an upgrade when there are so many better custom ROM's to choose from right here on xda?
I'm on Infused v2.2.3 and really like it but considering making the move to ZEUS soon.
I just can't see any reason to make a giant leap backward with the AT&T GB upgrade. It's just too little too late. YMMV though.
Maybe Samsung decided to use Zeus?
(Actually the GB release is running really well for myself. I haven't even rebooted yet since install last week.)

Yeah who likes a 100% working phone anyway, right?
meh.
now I know why there are no sources yet. and yeah the update is important if not just for sorcery code. never mind Samsung and att having respect for the customers....
think of how much better the roms can be if we don't have to mix libs from different leaks to fix video recording or playback and workarounds for the sdcard and wifi. and if they actually have HDMI. then we could swap kernels around without considering switching vold.fstab. yeah I hope the update is fixed soon so the code can be released finally.
someone is gonna have to get the update files and decrypt them to get a stock kernel though. (to extract initramfs and the root process will require a kernel to revert to until custom kernels are made.)
If you consider hdmi 100 percent, then I guess im running a 99 percent working rom......yea.....im good with that

hey I'm using Zeus myself. but I use the kl2 kernel on it and it would be nice if you didn't need to change vold.fstab back to stock to do so. I just want source code for new kenrels that could be maintained as all the old kernels were developed by people who are no longer here.

Dani, you are running zeus with the stock kernel?
I remembered dman said trying to run stock kernel in zeus will boot loop.
There were scripts not supported by stock kernel.
To make it run, just disable lagfix?
Just curious...

the init.d scripts wont run. that's true. but you should be able to change kernels after a reboot. its running for me. I didn't look at the scripts to see what other things I'm missing but the rom runs fine without the tweaks and lagfix.

What would the point of running zeus without the tweaks?
I'm not sure that is why I ask. Isn't kinda like running stock uckl2?

well I ran it with infuseion a few days, but I get the themes, the rom is deodexed, and when ever I deodex something it seems to run weird either slow or choppy. Zeus doesn't. I dunno what dman uses to deodex but it works better than what I have used.
