[ROMS] Fixed Roms For Use With EC01 (ED01) Radio (USCC ONLY)

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.
See original fascinate threads for installation methods.
***DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE ROMS FROM THE ORIGINAL THREAD LINKS. THEY ARE NOT EDITED FOR THIS SETUP. THESE LINKS ARE PROVIDED FOR INSTRUCTION ONLY.
DOWNLOAD FILES MARKED "DOWNLOAD FIXED ROM HERE" ONLY****
***DISABLE LAGFIX BEFORE DOING ANYTHING AND DON'T RESTART IT UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED***

Thanks to dfgas for pointing me in the right direction, and all the devs who made these great roms.

Thanks great job

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.
I did one and it seems I didn't mess anything up. beginners luck I think.

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.
If all else fails, goto #samsung-mesmerize irc chat and ask those guys.

hey, yours may work better than mine, you never know. don't feel like you're limited by what other people have done. At least thats my perspective.

the Evil Fascination rom has been updated. If I have time today I will try to edit it for the mez. That is unless someone does it first.
How would I go about getting it on here once it's ready for others to use?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Got changes made. Will test and if all goes well will put it here for others.
It is Evil Fascination ver 3.1
Version 3.2 uses CWM3 so not going to worry about it yet.

Well, you can get yourself some webspace, like, mediafire or megaupload, upload to one of those sites, then make a thread.
You can send it to me and I can host it on my peronal server.
Or you can come up with option three on your own, lol.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Fixed version of Evil Fascination 3.1 is up.

SO, I am running the EC01 radio with the fascinate MIUI ROM. all is working (to the extent of the MIUI abilities), and so far I'm happy as a clam. Ill upload the zip to megaupload as soon as I can.
Sent from my Fascinated MIUI using XDA App
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.

upgraded-2.3.4 + voodoo kernel...problems

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.

Just installed Darkys 10.2 final and Darkys 10.2 resurection...aside from getting a cool rom it fixed 0 of my problems

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.

Everytime i flash faux kernel, g2x goes black

Hello all you g2x users. Just got a g2x. Ran thru all the different roms without flashing a kernel. DL both ds/cm faux kernels, when i flash it, the screen goes black when rebooting. Reading the op, every room i have tried it with is compatible. Anyone have this happen
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

U are flashing wrong kernel.

Roms and kernels?

roms were eaglesblood and weapon. the kernels were the faux ds, cm, and gb which im sure was supposed to work. i really want to load a kernel to get my g2x getting higher scores then my sensation. already did stock if i remember right.

We need exact name and version of rom you are currently on, just whitehawks or cm7 wont due.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

That's what I was trying to say. I have tried several combos. Right notei just tried eaglesblood with faux gb kernel. I will look up the name and post back

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.

Groove is correct.

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.

Finally decided to flash cm9 help

After read a lot finally i,ve decided but now.. i must choose between jt,s and entropy,s builds also there ia a guide of jts build made by superweapons whick include a .tar file with bootloaders + recovery image.. or choose back to stock using qkster heimdall and then flash entropys kernel in order to get red cwm recovery? I'm a lil bit confused of what to use.. i appreciate so much your help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA

I've ran both. Entropys is the one go with. Its smooth and i haven't had any issues with it thus far. Plus its here on xda and you will get more support.
Sent from my ME865 using xda premium

+1 for using Entropy's build. He actively supports it on xda and knows the Infuse. It runs very well for an early build, and will only get better.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2

Entropy's is the way to go.

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
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

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.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

Flash both
YOU decide
this is like asking for a "best rom"
thread
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.

Roms that allow call recording.

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.

di11igaf's Rom on 2.2.1 also had call-recording. LOVED this rom!!!
Does anyone know why this feature is left out of all recent and current Roms? Currently on an ICS Rom now, and the only thing that I really miss is the call-recording. There is a post about this issue for the SGS II on 2.3.5 & Mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482721.
