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.

Super Clean ROM 0.3 for MESMERIZE!
Download: here
Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.

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.

I present to you an 'official' build including the kernel, radio, and full-blown froyo tastiness, for the USCC Samsung Mesmerize. Pre-rooted for your convenience, just download and flash with the latest version of ODIN. These are stock images plus root so your phone will function as if you just turned it on for the first time, albeit with a finger that magically instills root powers into any device you touch.

KERNELS
VooDoo 5

Kernels include various tweaks for performance and speed, and have also been slightly undervolted to be nice to your battery. They are NOT overclocked, as IMO, there is no benefit to overclocking other than inflated benchmarks and worse battery life.

VooDoo 5 2.2

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 (=

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.

None of the Fascinate ROMs will work on the Mesmerize unless you follow the Fascinated-Mesmerize thread. I don't recommend it, but it seems to work.

yep typo just one. I could stand to have 2 pregos around LOL
just an update to main post
I sent a PM to Scotsman to see if he will make this a stickie, I referenced it in my newbie guide as it's a great write up, good work!
Basically, due to a few of my friends having this phone and the lack of development here, I'm going to attempt to whip out a rom or two.
I plan to start with a stock rom, deodexed, zip aligned, optimized, bloatware removed, blur removed, ADW or GO launcher added..custom kernel..we'll see. I'd like to eventually port a few roms, but we really need a stable and legit Froyo rom to get anything stably ported.
At the moment, the only stock rom I have is a .SBF. Unfortunately I have no idea how to decompile this and the kitchen I plan to use won't do it either. I've tried ezxcodec, sbfcodec, and sbftool to open the file and none of which will work!
Currently I'm not around one of my friends with the phone, so I can't do this myself. We have some pretty bad weather conditions around here right now and I might not see him for a day or so.
So, what I need is a CLEAN nandroid. Preferably, fresh flash, root, nandroid..it would be great if you could run the optimizer script before nandroid also. As my testing time is somewhat limited since I don't have the device.
BUT please be sure this is a fresh flash with no sim card in or Google info ever entered...I don't want to accidentally get someone's private info.
Please send me a message if you can help me out and let's get the long over due development started.
Are you going to attempt to work with the Korean 2.2 ROM or the 2.1?
I think the 2.2 would be the one that would most benefit this community at this point. I know that the biggest piece to the Korean 2.2 ROM is that it does not work in the 1700/2100 Mhz range to allow US 3G service. Maybe this is something that you could help us to fix?
No matter what you end up doing, it is much appreciated.
I think I could knock out a nice 2.1 rather quickly, enough to hold people over while I work on a 2.2 rom. A cleaned up 2.1 would be much faster, better on battery, and still maintain stock functionality and stability..and would only take a little work to be released.
Has the radio issue been explored at all yet or is it still unknown to the cause? I could certainly work on Froyo, as a stable-ish 2.2 rom would lead to the ability to port other roms to the XT but I want to get a stable 2.1 out first.
The other problem is that I don't actually own the device, so testing is somewhat limited..
Either way, I need a nandroid before I can get started with anything because nothing seems to decompile these SBF files.. :-/
custom kernel? just curious how are you going to flash it in? are you aware that the bootloader is locked?
i've got a spare xt720 at home, i'll try to do a flash install and upload the nandroid when i have time.
Thank you.
Crap I forgot about the locked bootloader..I come from all HTC devices and forget about how locked down Moto is.
There is a thread already working on a custom kernel, which once completed could be baked into a rom and flashed with open recovery. However, since there's no source released, it's still in development..
Back to the locked bootloader tho, what additional limitations does this place on custom roms? I'm assuming it means no custom roms? Which would mean that unless someone manages to unlock the bootloader we're limited to only official Moto roms/leaks? I hadn't even fully considered that issue...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Ok so from my understanding, due to the locked bootloader, any rom built around a custom kernel can't be fully ported and retain all functionality unless its somehow piggy backed on the stock kernel.
So a modded stock rom would work fine then, right?
Once a working open source kernel is out, either for 2.1 or 2.2, at that point we can begin to modify it to work with different rom ports.
I'm going to continue research and hopefully will have a clean 2.1 out soon, so there will be something to play around with.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I will upload my nandroid later tonight for u. U can get the system.img from a link on navalynts abandoned thread if u wanna start now. The boot.img i uploaded was from 2.1 (im an idiot) so ill upload the right one later.
I looked thru that thread and couldn't find anything useful..I'd greatly appreciate it if you can upload the nandroid, I would like a full nandroid of 2.1 and the 2.2 leak if possible (the original 2.2 nandroid was pulled), as I'm currently unable to find a way to recompile the official SBF files from Moto. I won't be able to work on this till tonight tho, so no rush on anything.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
On one of the last pages of the thread someone posted the link. Navalynt took down. It only contains system tho. Yea i work all day so it wont be till tonight grill i can post it.
Thanks man. Please do 2.1 first so we can get a stable/clean/fast rom out, then work on the Froyo issues, since it seems to be very buggy at the moment!
Hopefully will have a stable rom and a WIP rom ready by the weekend. Since testing is limited, it may take a little while longer than desired, but this forum knows how to wait lol..
So who be upgrading to froyo now that its available ?

The only think that The update is good for is the source code.
just updated. now ill wait for some ROMs to finally start flashing.
Its been available, only people who will upgrade to it are on stock anyways.
How is it ? I'm running. Firefly 2.2 suckerpunch kernel # 51 and a theme by darky u think its worth for me to flash back to stock and upgrade

If you ask me, not a chance.
basically upgrade if you're bored. its for folks who dont want to flash custom roms more or less. all the customized stuff the devs on here offer is way better than official 2.2
all in all not worth it. still havent found a lagfix yet but have figured out how to root/install cwm
now i wait for the first dev to create a rom i can test
I'm only curious if gps is actually better, but sounds like it's not. Shocking...

If you haven't tried it, how do you know if it's better or not?
You might want to see this post. Supercurio, who developed SPeedMod, has injected Voodoo Lagfix into the Rogers Froyo Kernel, it will work for AT&T Froyo. I have better speeds and performance than on any custom ROM or SpeedMod. Try it out.

Didn't take longer when I flashed Cog or supernova.
I didn't flash KB1 but not surprised there are still issues. GPS data, servers and all that won't fix broken hardware.

You guys act as if these custom roms are without bugs. I have flashed many of them and im back on stock because there is always something wrong. besides its not that hard to remove the bloatware yourself. My gps hasnt ever worked on any custom rom dont know if it will on knew one since it wont let me upgrade. problems with call logs showing incorrectly or problems with txt, bt crashes. I have no problems on stock at all, removed all att stuff and it is the way i want it, I dont even use the themes that come with em only a few i seen that i liked and had to buy seperately to make it complete.

Well put. Custom ROMs are basically skinned stock I9000/2.2 ROMs anyway, with bloatware stripped out, other functionality added, and custom kernels and modems.
The beauty of a stock ROM, rooted, with boatware removed(TiBu) and a voodoo injected kernel is better stability, functionality, and reliability. A lot of people here who use custom ROMs have never had access to a native 2.2 stock ROM, and thereby have nothing to compare it to, yet they are stating that custom ROMs are better than 2.2 stock, but how would they know? They've never tried it. Why not try it out? We already have a working 2.2 kernel with Voodoo Lagfix, and I can't say it enough: for me, better speeds, better reliability, faster performance, etc.
However, I'd like to see what happens when we can start making custom ROMs based on 2.2 rather than I9000 though. Non of this wishy washy kernel/modem compatibility etc. It will be better for everyone.

Andromeda is built on a stock 2.2 Captivate ROM. So is Cog 4.
I rooted my device with a kernel and I have EE4. What rom will be good? I had the thunderbolt and used CM7. I know the droid charge dont have that yet. Im a bit confused about all the different numbers that i see around the forums. With the thunderbolt all you needed to know is which radio to have installed with the rom. Some please point me to the good roms that will work.
Im stock right now with root. EE4
I'd recommend Eclipse 1.3.1 for SURE. Having tried both GC and Humble beforehand I can seriously say Eclipse is great. I just like how much better Eclipse looks over the other ones. Sure themes can change that but just try Eclipse out and see how it goes. If you don't like Eclipse then Humble is certainly the one you will like.
If you're worried about losing apps or other such things just download Titanium Backup(just pay for the full version, it's much better if you are going to backup/restore alot).
also, this should be in the general section

can you shoot me a link? Also same way to install like on my thunderbolt right? Either use rom manager and select the rom on my sd card or boot into recovery?
gummy, eclipse, and humble are all great. I have found trade offs with each but the developers are actively involved in the forum and are constantly working on their roms to you just have to find which one you like best...but you will switch from time to time anyway if you are like the rest of us
I have stayed away from the GB roms since there seem to be a few bugs and I was never really impressed with GB on my DX. I still run froyo on that phone.
Ya, stick with Froyo for now.
I've used both Eclipse & Humble and both have benefits. I prefer Eclipse 1.3.1 for now...very fast, decent battery & good looking GUI.
if i install eclipse 1.3.1 will i lose root since i used a kernel to get root?

Nope.
Purchase Titanium Backup if you have not. Back up all your apps/system aps. Download an app to back up your SMS if you want and boot into recovery.
Wipe data, cache, go to advanced and wipe delvik. Back to main screen and install rom from sd card and reinstall your info and data.

No you won't lose root. You need to read the faq in the general section. Charge is very different than TB. Don't use rom manager for any thing. It doesn't work w/ the charge.

I tend to disagree with the froyo. IMO from a rom developer standpoint, even a buggy GB rom is better than froyo, it lacks many things. Im using the Eclipse GB rom now, and really very little in buggy. Now GB roms are lacking a solid kernel that you can undervolt and overlock, the Eclipse GB does lag at times (no i have not yet tried to do the EXT4 hack then used a GB rom.
One thing im not fond of with this phone coming from a EVO 4G and MT4G is that its super laggy, i know it works better with ext4... also the recovery way... when i reboot into recovery... i have to reboot to it.. then pull the battery then it will boot into recovery.
Idk, but I can't get away from Eclipse 1.2. It runs the fastest out of any rom.

Unless I am missing something somewhere I don't believe there is lagfix for GB? If so it would tend to be more "laggy". I notice no lag using froyo and lagfix enabled. I do not overclock.

Just flash the rom. You only need to flash a kernel if you are planning on changing it. If you already have the kernel you are planning on running with the rom just wipe data and install the rom.
I am running the froyo eclipse with the honeycomb theme and it is awesome. Battery life is great and I would highly recommend it. I am running it with imnuts non overclocked voodoo kernel.
I am opening this thread to discuss the new official release from AT&T and Samsung. Details can be found here.

I am not sure how much needs to be discussed. It is the same rom that was leaked back in 11/16/2011. Developers have done some amazing stuff with the Rom so far. All that is left for them to do really is add BLN and voodoo color to the kernel. I am not sure if having the source will do anything more for the Rom themselves.
FYI - Mod don't like ppl reopening closed threads.
yes I was active on that thread. It was locked by a mod because people started to discuss how to root the new release. zergRush does not work on it.

Does anyone have an Odin or Heimdall compatible version of the ROM?

Those are the two big questions I have too.
That last thread was sure cut short, but i have a question regarding kies mini. Im currently running the leaked UCKK4 Stock, rooted, and bloatfree; will i be able to upgrade with kies mini?

I had the exact type of rom running on my phone. Mini kies told me I was already running the latest rom. So, I did one click back to KB2 then used mini kies.
Ah, my apologies then.
I'll throw a bone out there, Fugu Root. Nuf said. Interesting enough tether manager likes to fc when you have debug enabled along with the usb connected.

I also had Tethering manage FC on me, but only right after I flashed it on the first reboot. I have not seen it FC again. I am very familiar with the Fugu kernel swap and think it great method, but my issue that I don't have a source of the kies released KK4 kernel. Do you know how to gernerate or extract an ODIN flashable kernel from the running image?
I'm running Cyanogenmod kang build 7.2 right now but I gotta ask is it worth going to stock gingerbread? How stable is it? I'll be honest I miss some of the touchwiz apps, but IMO the stock froyo rom sucked. At the very least I'd probably root and remove the AT&T BS, but IMO The froyo rom ran slower and buggier than the stock eclair rom! I really just want everyone's general opinion of it. Its a tough call. I got my phone running pretty stable with Cyanogenmod right now and its out of warrenty anyway so it might not even be worth my time anyway.

Check the KK4 leak thread for the tar.
No one has confirmed that the KK4 leak is exactly the same of the offical KK4. That is my only hesitation. I would like to be sure that I am running the AT&T KK4 release

Well the camera is a heck of a lot better the AOSP. It's worth it, even though it's still RFS, it's snappy and way better the KB1 ever was.
Yeah speaking of rfs I'd definitely be putting a lag fix on. I might look into it, and yes I agree about the camera, in fact honestly the hate against touchwiz is unwarranted. All the touchwiz apps are better, even the launcher is better than vanilla android one(not counting cyanogenmod that uses adw, which is one if the best). Only thing I did notice is without touchwiz the rom is faster, so obviously it adds bulk but the apps are so much better!

I never did get slacker radio and maps working at the same time on kk4. Even with tweaks I mentioned in another thread, slacker started dying after about a day of use. No problems like that with cm7. Thats why I am mostly interested if they actually made any changes from the leak. I doubt it though.
Ginger Bread is here
Im updating currently to official ginger bread
Didn't you notice that Samsung & at&t dropped lots of original Gingerbread features? like the CRT screen-off animation... I can't find it on the new official GB update one.
Is CarrierIQ still present in the official build? Curious. It was in the leak.
