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.

So are you volunteering to try it first? I would have been but after watching the AT&T logo stuck on the Fascinate with the other guy... I don't think I'll be the first...
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've considered temporally donating it to whoever is working on Cyanogen for the Galaxy S (or whichever variant) to lite a fire under them for developing it for the Fascinate also, but not sure if that would really make a difference

Not sure I'm going to keep it. I'm still partial to my EVO, this slide out keyboard wiggles too much and the screen is smaller. My hands are big so the original EVO was better.
Get the blue/black HTC case and your keyboard won't wiggle anymore. Really stiffens it up right well.
No suggestions for the smaller screen, but you do get used to it.
Keep your evo, give the shift to your wife! Then you can develop roms for both phones.
I see you closed your EVO rom thread. Does that mean you will be developing for the shift exclusively now? I can understand not wanting to stretch yourself too thin. FWIW, I have really enjoyed your rom and appreciate all of the hard work you put into it keeping it up to date.
My keyboard doesn't wiggle at all with no case. I don't know why it seems everyone else's is

Just a question, so this is 100% stock, so it has all the sprint apps loaded on the phone by default, but being rooted, you would be able to uninstall them? So you would end up with a completely stock phone, with apps you want uninstalled off the phone?

Hi there, I'm VERY new. I just got a Samsung Droid, first droid phone ever. I've rooted my phone by flashing the Altered Beast ROM onto it.
I came across the AndroidCutee theme HERE and want to know if its compatible with my phone. If not how do I make it compatible or can someone make one like it for the Charge or another similary Girly theme?
Many Thanks!

We only have one themer, and 2or3 rom developers right now. Im thinking the dev support will be slow and lacking with the charge. Samsung screwed too many people with a lack of updates. Dont use that theme...you will ruin your phone.

I guess that is fair enough, but BAMF is only for the ThunderBolt, too bad since they have a great ROM on the TB, wish they work on the Charge as well.

2 weeks ago I've seen on the Google's homepage "Nexus S a pure Google experience" I clicked and long story short I decided to buy (for $0 of course, the 'only for today' strategy got me..) a Nexus S... at first I was very very very Happy... Frontal camera, video calls with skype, google videos, Gingerbread, NETFLIX (!!!)...
I wasn't really thrilled about the size of the screen... sensibly smaller than the Inspire although the resolution was the same, and the colors... the nexus' screen's colors are kinda yellowish...
I was so happy about the new features though that I've ALMOST sold my Inspire! Then right before selling it my Nexus fully charged during the night dies in my pocket at 4 in the afternoon... A sign from god... I started noticing the abnormal battery consumption and I open my eyes..
Long story short... I m now selling my Nexus S and keeping my Inspire... Using the Inspire after 2 weeks feels like a million dollars.. but now I really miss google videos and netflix!
Does anybody know how to get them on Inspire?? Apparently neither of them are compatible.... BS i say...
Netflix works fine on the latest Gingerbread update for Inspire. I don't know about google videos.

So does video calls with Skype, just no FFC, and the GB update was rolled out a couple weeks ago. I know google videos won't work with rooted devices, but I don't know about the stock Inspire ROM
Hold on... why and how Google video is not allowed on rooted phones (i have stock rooted)??
Also the GB update isn't unstable still?
Tnx so much for the netflix app!

yea - no disagreement here.
And just realized I missed your question about the stability of the GB update - I hadn't heard anything about it being unstable. I'm currently running virtuous unity v 1.33 (GB 2.3.4), which is in Beta, and seems incredibly stable to me. There are other GB ROMs that have been out for a WHILE that are also incredibly stable. If you're already running stock rooted, then you have root and guessing you're s-off, why not flash a custom GB ROM?
Oh no i meant the OFFICIAL one... I tried various roms and the only one I feel confortable with on the Inspire is the stock with sense and stock radio... So when I heard about the official GB update I was very happy... instead it's full of major bugs.. shame.
I will wait till they fix the update and somebody cooks the original rom... I'm not really a Sense fan but it performs very well on their devices...

The Nexus One was destined for high end development anyways...But even the freaking HD2 now has ICS. Now thats ridiculous
But yah, ICS really has nothing to be depressed over. Except for the hardware acceleration capability...now CM9 is a whole other thing. But i'm sure CM9 will be available way before LG drops the major update.
I spent a few hours installing ICS on my daughter's Samsung Vibrant. It was nice to play with but not totally earth shattering. Some UI changes (improvements?), some different features. I was very excited about ICS now after spending some time with it, I can be patient and for the developers to work it out.

I have ICS Passion 10.6 on my vibrant and its flawless and super fast. Still hoping I dont throw my g2x against the wall before before it finally gets it.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Before you smash the G2x, flash Phoenixblood rom + Faux latest cm kernel and let us all know how you feel about your G2x then lol
I think just about all of us are anticipating cm9 but i believe i have found the best cm7 experience with 0 flaws imo with PhoenixBlood rom
To me is not really about ics, its about how they treat us (g2x users) if it wasn't for cm7/cerqueira this phone would be nothing, im glad i got a good one but many people got ****ty phones and the only reason they did gb was because of the lawsuit. They don't want to give us a fish (updates) and they sure as hell don't want to teach us how to fish (drivers).
I for sure dont want nothing to do with lg/nvidia, had a chance to get 2 cheap LG tvs for xmas, went with another more expensive brand!

It ran fine without any bug and everything working. It sucks because there is no CM Settings menu.....thats where most of the feature that I use daily are located. losing all those features to gain better new looks is pointless.
I like this phone but, because of the lack of support for it, not LG, NVIDIA and Google. Although it's blasphemy stating this on an Android focused website forum, because of the total messup with this phone, except for the devotion of independent developers and others who support/supported this phone, I will not be buying anything with NVIDIA in it, made by LG, and probably not Android. I am going to seriously consider phones which run the new Windows OS and the iPhone 5 when it comes out.
