I'm looking to download the older version of the firebird kernel, as I hear it works better with phoenix rising 4.5 rom that I'm running. Anyone know where I can find it? I can only find the newest which is v0.8
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
7 and 8 are practically the same. The only difference I'm aware of is the "vold file" fix which makes it so your phone doesn't mount as a CD rom drive.
I would just install v0.8 unless you can find someone knowledgeable who can tell you why v0.7 would be better with your ROM.
Thank you for the advice. I just have read in the phoenix thread that 7 works better, but I can't post in that forum to ask them where to find it. I think I might just try 8 and hope it works.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it was my thought that 7 had the correct vold files. For sure my captivate mounts correctly running v 7.

I also read somewhere on XDA that Firebird 0.7 had the correct vold files and 0.8 broke them. There is a Vold fix for 0.8 though.
Thanks for all the help guys. I was able to get a link to a download for it and just flashed it onto my phone.
I've been on the 10.1 build of perception for about a month and I never had the mounting as a CD drive issue until now.
All of a sudden it happens nearly every time. If I reboot my computer I can get it to work properly, for a few times. I'm thinking of flashing the new 10.4 built but the last time I did a TiBu back up and restored it didn't play nice and caused all sorts of problems.
Would it be more wise to try and flash a newer Firebird ?
I would try the new firebird first. They just released a new version the other day. Might fix the issue you are having.

THESE ROMS ARE FASCINATE ROMS. DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING THE FOLLOWING:
EC01 (ED01) Fascinate Radio
Fascinate Kernel
IF YOU ARE NOT USING ALL OF THE ABOVE DO NOT FLASH THESE ROMS
See dfgas' post here for getting ec01 set up intially
Now that you've been properly warned, here's my intro:
I am not the creator of these roms. I merely edited the necessary files to make them work for mesmerize users running ec01 setup. These rom's have been bug tested and are being developed by the fascinate guys, they will get issues resolved as they are able. Since we are using their firmware, we may have bugs or issues that they may not be experiencing and those should be kept to this forum.
Any and all risk and liability is on you. If your phone breaks, call the wahmbulance. I've tested all these roms on my phone so they worked when I upped them.
These roms are for USCC users only, on mesmerize phones running TW kernels.

Any fascinate roms will work as long as we make the edits noted in the post by dfgas correct? I ask because I noticed one of the roms in this post was updated today.
*evil fascination was updated since this post.

This is true as long as you keep your rom release/kernel in mind. Make sure any roms you use matche your kernel. I simply got these up here for folks that didn't feel comfortable editing the build.prop or moving apps on their own.
Okay. Thought I would check. Thanks for putting these up here.

Great. We encourage people to dig in and try stuff. You should upload anything you do for the rest of the community as well.
so I got the EC01 installed....checked my regular USCell setup and everything worked still....So i went ahead and installed the OTB-Reloaded TouchWiz ver 1.1 Kernal.....everything's good......but when I tried to install the fixed Rom (evil) for Mesmerize....it just didn't work.....it said install aborted (bad)
any pointers? I'm downloading Blackhole 4.4 and am going to give that a go...
and yes, lagfix was disabled!
I tried the Evil one as well, and I got constant bootloops... I redid everything from scratch (Stock) and tried again, it got into the ROM but many FC's... Then I wipe Cache and Dalvik, and it went back to Bootloops... Tried at least 4 times..
However Blackhole works just fine using the same procedure ...
Shame because the last ROM on that list seems like the best... Oh well will try out Blackhole..
EDIT::: In fact after all that messing to get the Radio files on etc, it made no difference whatsoever on my 3G Speeds... The ping went down, but everything else is the same speed wise...still averaging out at 1mb a sec tops...
Well back to Stock EC10 and Mesmerize SuperClean ROM for me for now.... Was fun trying tho

I have the same issues with otb-reloaded kernal. The original OTB worked great. My suggestion is to use jt's 4/15 release to get things going. Once you get to ec01 installed and working, then try going to a different kernel.
leave jt's kernel in place until you get your rom of choice loaded.

I'm on the mesmerize MIUI rom right now... I'd LOVE to switch to the EC01 radio if there was a MIUI rom for it... is there MIUI for the fascinate? If so maybe ill try tackling the necessary edits to use it on ec01 mesmerize.

I tried using the 4/15 release kernel with the EC01 Radio.
This is what I did:
1) Reflashed the Stock EC10 onto the mesmerize (fresh no data on it.. like out of the box)
2) Flashed Clockwork Mod and EC01 Radio to phone.. Checked it booted. Booted ok
3) Installed the JT Kernel (disabled Lagfix so it would not do any of that)
4) using CWM installed the Evil Fixed ROM from the OP
Booted, and it comes up with the boot logo.. Then does the Vibrate followed by three more Vibrates.. and reboots. keeps doing this till battery is pulled..
Then I tried wiping Cache and Dalvik, get the same thing...
Thats when I gave up.. after trying it three times....
I've heard others have issues with the evil rom. I have fixed the 3.1 update and will upload it shortly. You could try that one and see if the issue is fixed.

EDIT: Zip file uploaded. CRAP. At first the changes I made to build.prop didnt stick, and it actually worked just fine. After making the changes and making them stick, now every time the phone boots it's sluggish and the "system" force closes. It only does it once, when you first boot. Any thoughts, anyone? It may be worth mentioning, near the bottom of the build.prop file, there was this line: "net.cdma.pppd.user=user VerizonWireless" i did not change it to anything different, like uscc or whatever... it wasnt mentioned in the needed changes.
recently ive upgraded my captivate to 2.3.4 via the andriod advices website. Also installed voodoo kernel through the same web page. All in all its 5x faster, no laggy issues anymore, but its got a few annoying problems now.
For one during phone calls i cannot hear anybody talk unless the speaker is on
two the auto rotate is screwed, even after calibration its just not working
three andriod phone keeps having freezing issues and making me force close
any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Seeing that there is no official 2.3.4 for the captivate, they have to be tinkered with to make work properly. If you don't have the tools and knowledge to do so, there are several roms here using 2.3.4 that have already been reworked for you. The dev section has several.

You problem is that your using roms/kernels designed for a different phone. If it doesn't say it is for the Cappy, then don't use it.
You need to go to the development section and find a rom from there.

We need exact name and version of rom you are currently on, just whitehawks or cm7 wont due.

Eaglesblood has 2 versions and you must use the correct kernel for the specific version. Example: if you are using weapon rom you cannot use faux cm version kernel. If you are using eaglesblood cm version rom you cannot use faux gb kernel. Read carefully and make sure you are mating them correctly.

EaglesBlood is based on an older version of CM. The current version of Faux's CM kernel (0.44) is based on 173+. You need to use version 0.43 (at the bottom of the OP) for 10-15-11.
For Weapon you have to use Faux's GB (gingerbread) kernel. Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720
Read carefully for stock voltage or OC/UV (OverClock/UnderVolt), both versions 0.1.3.

so i loaded up eaglesblood 10-15 and derkernel and it was cool that i could finally overclock my g2x but i took a call and when i pulled the phone away to end the call the screen went black and no matter what i did i couldnt get the screen back on. had to pull the battery. nothing like that had ever happened til i loaded derkernel and turned it up to 1.5 ghz, anyone else have this happen??
The call wonk is a known issue with cm based roms. Listen, you've got to read the threads a little better before someone gets upset at you for asking questions that have already been answered. Usually you can find out about known issues in the OP (Original Post).
Also use the Stock Volt SV roms. There are 4 types of kernels. Regular Overclocked/Undervolted and stock volt... each one has CM and DS battery driver.
I used the SV DS one.
His standard pre overclocked kernel never booted for me. His rom never worked for me either.... got the black death too. So choose wisely.

I was not aware that call wonk was an issue on the g2x.
I understand where you are coming from but you can read the op in the "eaglesblood 10-15" thread and there was nothing about an issues such as call wonk. I thought the only phone with that issue was the sensation. I have had a number of android phones and trust me I have done my fair share of reading. If i remember right the only reason I started this thread in the first place was because on that day I had flashed several different combinations of roms/kernels and what I was reading wasnt translating when I tried to flash them. I am sellling my sensation and using this g2x in the mean time til the galaxy nexus finally gets off the boat.

Its really your preference jt's build can be over locked to 1.6 entropy's can onIy be undervolted personally i am with these guys as there is more support on xda and nothing against jt who as I understand is most responsible for the port but entropy is the **** with this device

I flashed entropy's over the weekend, came from cm7 and I have to say this rom is awesome! Even at its early stage. This rom can be your daily driver easily! Just wish BT was working as I personally feel that's an important feature especially these days when it comes to using hands free calling however these guys (jt and entropy) dedicate their own free time for us infuse users which a lot of us appreciate. They've already done a lot so not gonna complain. It does come down to your own personal preference.

only YOU can decide
Entropy's Build
i have been using his build for quite some time. Only problem is sometimes it likes to freeze up when you lock the phone - solution that works ... keep pressing the power key until it responds -(works every time)
Ive got jt's build on as it just works for me. Once i find something that works, i usually just keep it on. If entropy fixes the camera then ill come over, but until then honestly unless for the wifi and overclock, there is not much of a difference.
I am in serious need of a rom that will allow me to record my calls. I recently (yesterday) was awarded custody of my son. I now have to schedule visitation with his mother and would like to have recorded proof. I will be notifying her at the onset of each call that they will be. These will all be in case she doesn't show for scheduled visitations.l to prove that I have been setting time aside. Please any he'll would be good. My system is a rooted captivate with stock kernal running stock gingerbread minus some bloatware. Ive only wandered across thread discuasing apks and other files that ive no clue about changine to do so. Thanks for any help.

The Firefly ROM can record calls. IMO Firefly was one of the most polished ROMs out there. Unfortunately it is Froyo, but it's still an amazing ROM. Check out this post I made a few months ago about getting call recording to work as well as the whole thread on call recording. Hopefully this helps, good luck.

I'd like to run that as my phone ran better on and came stock with froyo. Once I updated to Ginger it began to suck. Force closes, lagging. It been terrible but I can't upgrade the phone until next year at upgrade time. It has been a great $0.97 phone. I've tried to load roms and it doesn't work. I get some e:signature verification error. What would be the best way to load this rom. I am new to all of this and would love to learn more. However even in the tutorials I run across acronyms I don't know. Could someone please give me the easiest way to load this rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA
Two things:
1. If you're having trouble with acronyms, take a look at the "XDA Terms and Acronyms" post. That should help you out.
2. To get around the 3e signature issue, your best bet would be to flash a Froyo kernel with ClockworkMod recovery already included via Odin or Heimdall. I would suggest Onix, as it's a good kernel and I know it works with Firefly from previous experience.
thanks
thanks for the help. it is certainly appreciated. i just flashed the odin kernal. does it matter that the phone is currently running stock gb? also how long does it take to load? i like literally just did it at 10:14pm on wednesday june 20, 2012.
Well I flashed a stock kernal with cwm already inside and was then able to download firefly and flash it. I really like it. Ultra smooth. Much faster than stock gb. Thanks to all who responded. Thanks to all the guys at xda. Y'alls work is great. Too bad they haven't tried updating firefly to gb. I think it'd be great.

Team Phoenix aka The Collective aka The Family did come out with a great GB ROM called Mosaic. While Mosaic is themed blue, it does have a flashable Firefly theme here if you're partial to that.
They also came out with an ICS ROM, Fusion. Unfortunately it doesn't have a Firefly theme but it does have a green theme that looks pretty good as well.
It is important to note that the Firefly ROM is the only one that has call recording. It was never implemented in any of the more recent ROMs. Hopefully this helps.
I like firwfly in that it is quicker than the stock gb and it supports call recording. I needed it at the request of my attorney to record all calls with my sons mom. Id like to get back to a gb based rom that supports call recording. I don't want to try a ics rom until its more stable and safer. Don't want to render my phone useless.
