I've made a few edits to jt1134's 06/20 build of fascinate CM7MTD (which has working GPS!!) to get it working on our radio (EE19 or EC10, your choice) and have uploaded this for others to use. I'm not going to create a release thread of any kind yet as jt is working on getting all 3 of our phones supported officially by CM after he finishes a painstaking process of rewriting sensor drivers (that will mean all hardware will be working, then mms will be looked at). And lmartin92/jt will be able to get us native builds after that happens.
Please visit this thread to make sure you click his thanks and/or throw jt a little money, if it weren't for him alone we would probably never see the merging into mainline CM7!
This release is as is and we're not needing any bug reports at this time.
Note: It will also say Verizon wireless as your service provider, but that's just because I didn't edit the eri.xml file within framework-res.apk

Here is a test build/preview of the 2.6.35 MTD CM7 port for Fascinate. It is built off the work of TeamHacksung, and is very different from earlier CM7 builds. At this point it is very functional, but still in very much of an ALPHA state.
Working:
Calls!!
Bluetooth!!
3G data
WiFi
SMS
Camera/Camcorder
USB mass storage / sdcard
Sensors (accelerometer / compass)
GPS!!
Not Working:
MMS
light and proximity sensors
Included in the package is the base ROM and kernel. GAPPS must be flashed separately. Link below. You may also use nemesis2all's kernel here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119169
When flashed the first time, your filesystems will be converted to MTD (yaffs2/ext4). Do not try to flash any other ROMs via cwm at that point, and do not try to get into recovery via the 3 button method. Use adb reboot recovery or the reboot recovery option from the power menu. To revert, and switch to another ROM, flash a full Odin/Heimdall package (like DL09).
Since your filesystems are being fully converted, there is no need for Voodoo or any other lagfix. DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL ANY KIND OF LAGFIX ON THIS ROM!!! Voodoo sound capability is however included in the kernel.
To install, boot into cwm recovery, wipe data, and flash the ROM. It will reboot and the do the actual install. If you are on a previous version, you can simply flash it over your curren install. If you have problems, try wiping data first. The ROM will work whether you are on rfs or ext4.
*** Update 06/09 ***
fixed in-call audio
fixed bluetooth in-call audio
*** Update 06/20 ***
fixed GPS
re-enabled backlight notifications (you DO NOT need BLN control app)
disabled (broken) auto-brightness
other misc changes, see my github
This is a WiP, and meant as more of a preview than anything else. If you enjoy it, click the Thanks button. Enjoy

Could be, but I don't consider it development since this build is temporary until we get a native one built. (I didn't want to post another thread in there since lmartin already has one started and would simply update it once it's done.)
When you say native. Does that mean a build done specificly for mesmerize. In which most everything will be working. Sorry just trying to make sure I understand the lingo
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
Is this only for the Mes or is it safe for Showcase?

When I say native build, I mean that it's built from source with the appropriate uscc/cellular south edits made pre-build - instead of making a few edits post-build like I've done here with this release. Jt has repos on github for both the mesmerize and showcase but they weren't updated yet so we couldn't build it. When he does (after he get's sensor drivers rewritten) then he will either build it or lmartin92 willl and we'll update the thread in the dev forum. This is just to hold people over until then Regardless of whether it's built native or kang'd like I did here, it's still as functional as listed in the OP - but building natively is the better practice and guarantee of no bugs.

No sorry, I still have yet to learn exactly what changes are required to make it work for CS, so this is only for the mesmerize.
Cool deal. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Man I wish I had your guys inteligence when it comes to this stuff. It amazes me how you do what you do. I will be lookin for it as honestly that has been my reason for holding off on cyanogen. Waiting for it to get more functional which looks like it is now thanks to JT and the others. You all rock and thanks for all you guys do.

No problem, glad to share knowledge when I can . At first I felt the same way, it was very overwhelming and I never thought I'd be able to actually get involved with bringing things to the community, but the more you hang out in IRC the more brave you get and once you start cracking open .apk's and get the basics down, it becomes fairly easy to learn and progress . Especially when you have brains to pick like jt1134/phidelt82/jamezelle (to name only a few)!
Alright, so I tried to flash this on CWM 3 (I was on Heinz 57 EE19 build before this), and I got an error almost immediately, saying "asset failed", along with a bunch of stuff regarding the Fascinate. I did wipe data and all that, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I would really like to try this out!

Can you be more specific on the "stuff regarding the Fascinate" ? I haven't come a crossed this issue, basically it should reboot as soon as you hit "install .zip" to a CM7 splash screen and then it'll go right back into CWM, finish the install then reboot a few more times before it actually boots up.
EDIT:
Okay someone else just had this happen, he was in EE19 H57 as you were, so I'm thinking that's the cause - I went from EE19 PNP to Cm7MTD with no issue. I'm looking into it further but for now it seems you need to be coming from a rom other than H57.
Here is a screenshot;

These lines are repeated 3 more times, but instead of "aries", it is "fascinate", "fascinatemtd", and then "SCH-I500".
By the way, this is all on the recovery screen, it doesn't reboot at all.
EDIT: Just read your edit, haha. Alright, so I just flash some other ROM like PnP first and I'm all good? Cool, I'll try it and let you know

I would think you could flash pnp then go from there but to be safe you might just want to flash full EE19 stock then CM7
EDIT: Okay, scratch that last. I'm re uploading with a working version (same link). It should finish in 10 minutes or so.
Yeah, just flashed PnP and then tried CM7, but I got the same error...well, looks like I'll have to wait until I get back home to my computer this weekend and ODIN back to stock and try again.
EDIT: Wow, I have to stop posting before your edits, haha. Sounds good, I'll try the updated one in a few, then!

I just deleted the old one and reuploaded with the same name, so it should be fine.
try going to http://olvisfoundation.com/xdadump/bdemartino/
Then click on the CM7.zip there
So, turns out I had to re-download the Dolphin browser in order to download it. Good news, CM7 installed successfully on my phone! However, later when I rebooted in order to add the GAPPS, I lost service; my phone couldn't even identify what network it was on and all that. So, I had to borrow a friend's computer and I ODIN-ed back to stock EE19. I'll try it again and see if I can get data working, but if you know anything about that, let me know! I'm getting closer...
EDIT: Alright, so I tried to flash again after getting back to stock, and this time when I rebooted to install the GAPPS, I got stuck in a boot loop with the CyanogenMod animation. So, I've restored my backup and am back on Heinz 57 for now. So I don't know if I'm just not supposed to flash the google apps or if this version only wants to run one time before something happens :/. Do you have any idea?
I had lost data too, so I pulled the battery and rebooted it's been good since.
Ya I had an issue with signal at one point, I toggled airplane mode on and off and it fixed it right up haven't had issues since, but haven't had any issues with data.
You do need gapps, so I'm not sure what the issue is - make sure you download the ones from jt's post.
Yeah, I don't know what was going on...I'm going to try flashing it again, and I'll see what happens.

MghtyMax 1.9.1 "What a Feeling"
SIGNED VERSION NOW LIVE!!!!
THIS IS A CUPCAKE HERO ROM. AT PRESENT 1.9.1 IS STILL THE LATEST VERSION OF MGHTYMAX. IN MY OPINION, STILL THE FASTEST, MOST STABLE HERO ROM ON THE PLANET.
***NEWS***
I may be developing a "Legacy Edition" of MghtyMax, considering we are reaching the end of the road for the G1. It would essentially be 1.9.1 with minor tweeks, some graphical improvements, and some special goodies to celebrate life of a great phone. Kind of in the "feeling out interest" phase right now, so if this is something you would like to see, please respond. I'd also like to talk to some folks who are good with custom desktop wallpapers. Please contact me on Twitter if interested in working on this project.
Changelog:
1.9.1 - Added Flash support
1.9 Altered user.conf. Turned off Compache and went to straight linux-swap. Swappiness set at 60. This may be the FASTEST HERO ROM EVER.
Recommended linux-swap partition sizes:
G1: 128 MB Linux Swap
MT3G: 96 MB Linux Swap* (Not tested. If running laggy after rom settles try 128MB as well)
If you get the blurries on MT3G, use the blurries fix:
http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Deport-1.0.zip
After the system settles, and everything is running nice and smoothly, shut down, reboot into recovery and flash this as a ROM. Don't wipe, don't remove partitions. Just flash the zip. Reboot, and no more blurries!
1.8:
*This IS Maxisma 1.8 with the following changes:
Brought back PEEP due to popular demand (as is in Maxisma's roms)
Include Backup for Root & Missed Calls apps, and a few added sounds.
Modded build.prop to allow use of T-Mo apps (My Account, My Faves)
1.7.1a:
Removed HeroLED. All LED's will work natively on MT3G, and on G1 all will work except *missed call notifications. Thanks to Maxisma's build.prop
*Included Anon's Missed Call. Allows for custom LED color and frequency for incoming/missed call notification, and missed call notification sounds. This app will be in your app draw, and it must be run and set up for missed call notification LEDs to work. MT3G users do not need to use this app.
Included Blackgin's "Backup for Root Users" (This version works with HERO rom's)
Added lots of sound files for Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarm.
This version has an edited build.prop so that the phone's model number displays as T-Mobile G1 for apps like T-Mobile's "My Account" Although this has not been tested on MT3G it should not cause any issues. Please report if there are and I will release a MT3G version of this rom.
Replaced boot sound and image files.
Removed HTC PEEP. (was causing problems for me, lots of FC)
Thanks go out to Maxisma of course for compiling the rom that I basically just tweeked a bit, and for allowing me to share it with all of you. Anon for his Missed Call app, Blackgin for "Backup for Root Users", HTCPedia and Rapidshare for hosting, everyone at XDA and the T-Mobile forums, JackCrackerMan for pointing me to the blurry fix, and of course all of you, the Android community at large.
***BEFORE INSTALLING PLEASE***
***THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER OR MGHTYMAX WILL NOT WORK!!!***
-If using "Backup for Root" uninstall any heroled app you may be currently running before backing up.
-Before flashing this rom, WIPE PHONE/FACTORY DATA RESET, WIPE/REPARTITION EXT AND LINUX-SWAP in parted.(I recommend ext4 for best performance, 128MB Linux Swap for G1, 96 MB Linux Swap for MT3G)
-After repartition and upgrade of ext partition, exit parted and PULL BATTERY. Make sure device is not charging or hooked up to USB and put battery back in and boot to recovery.
-WIPE/FDR Phone AGAIN FOR SAFETY. Too many people having issues with remnants of old roms interfering with new ones. PLEASE follow this procedure exactly.
- Flash Rom.
-When the new rom boots and you get to the homescreen, allow some time for the apps2sd to catch up.
- IMPORTANT!!! Run Market. Accept the ToS. Exit Market.
- Run "Backup for root users" (also in app tray) if you ran it prior to flashing this rom, and restore your files.
- Wait. Wait. Wait. Sit and watch the apps pop up in the tray. Wait some more. Look, they're dancing! They keep moving! Wait. Wait. Wait. Grass growing? Wait. Wait Wait. Wait some more and when they finally stop moving around for good, close the app tray and reopen it. If it scrolls like butter, it's done. If it's laggy, wait, wait, wait. DO NOT RUN **ANYTHING** During this process!!! You may get FC's, load screens, and just may end up doing a wipe and reflash. Give it time. It will take a while, but you'll be glad when it's done.
- Run "Missed Calls" app in the app tray and set up your led notifications for missed/incoming calls.
Feedback/suggestions appreciated!
*As with any rom, you flash this at your own risk, neither I, Maxisma, these forums, your wireless carrier, or any being, living or dead in the known universe (except for you) will be held responsible should your damage or destroy your device in an attempt to flash/use this rom in any way.

"Just when I thought I was out... THEY PULL ME BACK IN!!!"
I just couldn't let 1.8 be it, with the problems I was seeing with lag. I am very proud of 1.9, and think it just may be the fastest Hero Rom setup yet. I hope you think so too. Thank you again for your support!
Please share your thoughts/comments on this topic here, or to my twitter at http://twitter.com/mghtyred
Thank you all again for enjoying this ROM!
Finally My First Post!!!!
This Seems Amazing, I'll Try This Out
anybody try it out yet? how is it?
going to give this a try brb
Since its a hero rom im guessing we will need a class 6 sd card right?

Because of the memhack Maxisma is using in the rom, no it's not required since linux-swap isn't really used, but recommended for faster app loading in apps2sd.
Working Great for me so far!
No FC's at all on the Mytouch.
Only one FC i got so far was the one when you search for a Contact, but mighty is already aware of that.
Other than that no problems so far.
Using it on the G1 and it blazing fast and holy sh** the LEDS work amazing!
Way to go Maxisma and Mighty!
If I'm coming from Max 1.7.1 do I need to wipe before flashing on my mt3g?
i followed directions and it boots up to mighty max screen and keeps booting to that same page. what next?

im sorry yes, its a boot loop
im wiping again and reflashing
Make all of this fit in 90 MB (death spl system) and I'll be impressed. I'll give it a try, though, maybe this one's worth my while, but the back of my mind is saying "Meh, another hero...)...
ok, let me tell you what steps i took before i flashed.
1.using Ra recovery. I wiped ext2 part
2. wiped/reset
3.repartioned fat/ext2/linux swap
4.upgraded to ext3
5.rebooted to g1 screen
6.pulled battery and removed sd card
7.copied rom to sd card
8.booted into recovery
9.wiped again
10.flashed rom
11.stuck in "might max" boot loop

As mentioned previously in the first post, in order for this rom to work on your phone, you need to follow the instructions I posted TO THE LETTER.
Yes you still need to partition your SD.
Read above to see what happens when you don't do exactly what is posted.
I have an extra 1GB class 2 or 4? SD card that I can use for this. And I want
to try it but I'm wondering.. is it good to be used as a daily driver? Is it as fast
or almost as fast as CM?
Well I'm kind of in the mood after getting some good feeback from my Defy ROM, so seen as though v1.08 has been released by Advent - I thought I would try and get a release based on this out - try and liven up the vega section on XDA!
As I've said before - I aint no Dev and don't profess to be. I know a fair bit about Android, but I don't compile, what I can do, is put things together that make it easy for others.
As you can see I've marked this as a release candidate, so I'm open to suggestions of what else could be included/improved on, although this is meant to be an unbloated blank canvas for people to build on.
ROM Includes:
Advent v1.08 base
Flash (You may need to reinstall by browsing to /system/etc/shuttle_priv and reinstalling the app in there)
Launcherpro
Gapps (No Gmail - I don't use the app - download from the market if you want it)
High Res Gallery
Moduleap screen calibration app
ES File manager
New for RC2:
Included small notification bar
Custom Boot screen
Modaco USB Switcher (Host/Slave)
Optional Clockworkmod Recovery
Added stock taskmanager back in (even though I think its fairly poor)
My favourite part of this is the installer - I don't think you can get much simpler than this. I'm sorry to Mac and Linux users, but this is a windows installer package, I've never owned a mac (and probably never will) and have limited linux experience.
Install process:
This assumes you have already have the Vega nvflash/adb drivers installed.
1) Download Higgsy_Modded_v1.08_Vega_RC2.exe here
2) Make a backup of your current ROM using clockworkmod recovery (If you use it).
3) I Also advise a backup of your apps/app data via Titanium Backup.
4) Boot into nvflash recovery using the following method:
Disconnect power cable if connected
Power the Vega off
Reconnect the power cable
Hold the back button for 2 seconds
Keeping the back button held down, press and hold the power button for 2 secs
You should hear a "bing bong" from the PC - if so release the buttons
If you don't get a bing bong, disconnect power for 10 secs then reconnect and try the process again.
5)Once you are in nvflash mode execute the Higgsy_Modded_Vega_v1.08_RC1.exe you downloaded, once complete hit enter when the DOS window prompts you.
6)Wait 10 secs and then power on the device as normal.
Installation for Clockworkmod Package:
1)Download the Clockworkmod_Install.exe from here
2)Make sure your Vega is connected to your PC and you have USB debugging enabled on the device
3)Double click the Clockworkmod_Install.exe program and let it do its bit
4)Once the DOS window disappears then it all done.
5)I recommend a standard shutdown/cold boot after install (prob don't need this, but I like to do it anyways.
I had previously posted earlier that clockworkmod was giving black screen, I can now confirm that installing via the above method, has stopped this for me- I have done 3 reflashes/install clockwork/boot into clockwork/flash a zip/reboot/cold boot and it hasn't black screened me, I was probably trying to be a bit clever trying to integrate things I didn't need to, and to be fair its better as an optional extra anyway.
Further note from me on clockwork mod after someone reported BSOD:
Clockworkmod is hit and miss, I spent best part of a day testing/reflashing and in the end I got it to work without any issues, i.e. the usual BSOD after first cold boot after using clockworkmod. What I found prevented it earlier was after using clockwork mod to backup/restore/flash zip etc, was to reboot back into clockworkmod straight away and then just hit reboot in clockworkmod as soon as it loaded up, then if you cold boot after this it loaded up ok. I think the key thing if you are going to use clockwork, is take a recovery straight after setting everything up, then its not so much of a biggy if it does black screen.
Enjoy the ROM
Thanks go to the following:
[email protected] for all my hosting
[email protected] for the Recovery.img/app for the vega. and USB switcher (And indeed kicking of the whole vega scene) At the end of the day Modaco got me into android and for that I'm grateful.
[email protected] for High Res Gallery3D
Fede Carnales for Launcherpro, that is included in the rom.
Estrongs team for a great file explorer.
Advent for making the technology available at an affordable price/original firmware.
Anyone else who thinks they should be thanked.
Please don't post this on other forums without asking me first

in my opinion very nice, I will be completely honest - I have compared this and it is mostly advent adding the newer tegra drivers in, there are other differences and additions too though.
would like some feedback from others on the installer and if its working sweet for them (it is for me)

I couldn't decide which way to go with that, I always used the small notification before, some like it some don't. I'll make an update.zip add on. easily done.
Edit: I want to compile it myself too (framework-res) and not use the other one thats available, gives me more experience if I do it myself.

Genius, thanks (I could do it but am incredibly lazy tonight + lets you keep the credit for doing it )
Very nice indeed
Waiting for the small notification bar as well though
Oh and Higsy, please don't tell me you own an android phone and don't use Gmail???!!! if so why the hell not?

Thanks Higgsy, will give this a go tomorrow. If you are going to modify this yourself, would it be possible to have a semi-transparent small notification bar as an optional update.zip? Or if you know of a good n00b guide to do so, it would be appreciated.
Cheers
Hi Higgsy,
Thanks for making this easy for us that are not so well informed and those that can't be bothered
Mine crashed tonight, Nothing to do with your update, but would it be ok to use your update to bring it back to life

Nope don't use it never have, don't like it. If I had the choice I would include the motorola blur email app - coz I like that the best.
Great work Higgsy.
I would like to see button savior installed as default, its a must for the vega. Also would like the small taskbar. Also does this contain flash?
Thanks mate
Small notification bar patch added to the OP, changes something else too, spot the difference.

Again button saviour is a must, I agree, my aim here was to provide a blank canvas with only the basics. To be honest there aint a great deal of space in /system. If people agree then I'll include it in the next release.
Flash included and works, you may need to reinstall it by going into /system/etc/shuttle_priv/selecting the app to install. I'll update the OP coz I forgot about that.
I notice in the screenshot that the kernel version is v1.06 is that a mistake. i have flashed the official firmware and it says v1.08.

Per Akellar's request I've been working on porting over the black froyo theme, I've finally got all the tweaks done. I decided to call it dark froyo as I'm adding some edit's of my own (I also borrowed some images from other theme's such as Midnight, so credit goes to those original creator's too - I simply photoshopped them).
All credit to the original themer Samcrow, he did an amazing job and also has some very awesome icons. Make sure to say thanks here! You'l need to download those and set them with your launcher program, to get the effect shown below.
Enjoy =)
Prerequisites:Need to be on 2.2 and a deodexed ROM installed (I.E. Pick and Pack) If you already have a theme on it, you'll be just fine too, keep in mind this will only change what I have listed below, so remnants of your previous theme may remain.
EDIT: ADDED EB16 VERSION, PAY ATTENTION TO PRE-REQ!
NOTE: As stated by phidelt82 at this point the only function the extra 3 power options perform is reboot, it is being worked on. Also, once you have this installed you will need to go back to pick and pack in order to flash a different theme
I do have a custom font installed, (bender) eli posted a link to them in the theme's forum.

I am most definitly be flashing this one. Will we have to flash the original PnP rom first?
Is the blue battery mod making it into the black theme? I guess I mean are you going to change it to black or leave it blue? Just curious.
I guess if someone were to create a black and blue theme that would be awesome too.

No, it just looked better to me than the one in the original theme. I just changed it to the one from my super dark port, but working on the charging animation. I'm gonna prob keep this theme black in general.
I would like to theme that one black but i don't have time to edit all those .png's , haven't found a good alternative yet either.
And no as long as you've already been on pick and pack, you can install this. There may be apps that you have themed that aren't in this one however, but that's with any theme.
Almost done, here is a tester for those wanting it right now; http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OA6G69BR
I will eventually fix the charging animation (in a newer build) but for now, I've updated this main post with the final download. Enjoy!
Good work! Like it a lot

Anyone else flash this yet? Anyone having troubles? I get the eternal samsung screen. I've done it twice. The first time I reflashed the EA11 2.2 leak, redid the cwm and voodoo, disabled lagfix, wiped divlak cache, installed the dark froyo zip (with no PnP) and it worked.
This morning i wanted the PnP rom. I booted into recovery
, disabled and wiped what I was supposed to installed PnP from zip, installed dark froyo from zip, rebooted and I get the eternal samsung screen again. Is there something wrong with having the PnP rom with the dark froyo? Because it worked once without PnP. I thought we had to have the PnP rom for our themes to work.
This time I remembered how to boot into recovery and put the blue steel theme back on there, and I am finally safe.
Also I have two messenges I can't delete in my gmail. Any thoughts?

I am running this and it works perfectly with no issues. I'm guessing the gmail issue is gmail related. I am also having issues where the gmail app isn't deleting messages on the server so it keeps telling me I have unread messages in my inbox even though nothing shows there. Just log on to the gmail website and delete from there.

Dude sorry but I can hardly understand what you're even trying to do, but it really doesn't sound theme related.
If you are on stock odin 2.2, flashing this would result in bad things happening (I'm actually not even sure what the results would be) You MUST have a deodexed rom installed before using ANY themed applications or framework.apk's (theme's) period. (I.e. Pick and pack)
As for issues, I've had this on my phone two days now with zero functionality issues. I did notice that i missed one text edit that is still black on black, but hopefully will have time to fix that soon. (i'ts on the sub - menu)
When you're using bleeding edge technology, and things don't go right the first time - yet no one reported issues. START OVER FROM THE BEGINNING! Don't come on here posting a terribly written vague request for advice when no one is going to be able to help anyway because they haven't had any issues. Sorry to be a little nasty but I'm really getting sick and tired of this same thing happening over and over again.
And btw, why not start with a nandroid backup? Flashing another theme typically doesn't fix things that you're experiencing, it just makes them worse. Your best bet (if you can't restore a backup for some reason) is to odin to stock, or re flash pick and pack since they are ROM's (not just theme's)

I specifically stated that this was something that was bothering me about other users, so please don't take it personal. You just need to take some more time to figure out what you've done, and be more specific in your post so that someone can actually help you, that's just the truth man.
I even gave you advice in my response.....

"I don't it deserved all that." is not a complete thought. Neither is "I was just wondering anyone had ****ing issues."
Just by reading those two sentences, I can't imagine that your other posts were much better. When someone is trying to help you out, cussing at them isn't going to solve your problem. We do this for free, and in our spare time. We have families and jobs. We enjoy what we do here and we are respected for what we do. If you feel that you are owed something, then produce something. Don't come here looking for a handout and then act all butt sore when something doesn't work right the very first time you do it. Most people can get all of these ROMs and MODs to work on their own. For those that can't we offer all kinds of help here and in the irc chat room.
Stay or go. I'll still be producing for those that enjoy my work, and so will the rest of our team.
Found an issue with this theme.. When you go to certain menus (Contacts --> menu --> more is one of them) the menu has black fonts and you cant see them.. Any quick way of changing this?

Nah lock mod's are being worked on (thanks to phidelt82/ehoba!!), so far we've got power options thanks to sbrissen!!
And for the record (this has come up a few times now), you don't typically have to "turn on" these MOD's, in the end we will hopefully be able to switch lock screens through our settings.apk but so far we've gotten one to work so that may be all we get for a bit, if that happens even then there is nothing to enable, it will be changed as a part of the flash. Stay tuned for updates on that, we'll release them as soon as we have them
Cool... keep up the good work guys...

Thread has shed some light on new issues and some other fantastic developers have chimed in with a lot more insight into this issue than I had originally anticipated when I started this thread. Please read the below post in FULL, and skip to page 31 for where this discussion picks up. ~> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128135&page=31
DaKlown said:
First I would like the thank the OP for bringing some attention to the issue. This thread seems to have started going in the wrong direction so I will make an attempt to clear some things up and shed some light on the situation with my findings. In my tests so far I cannot really find a combination of radios and pri to solve any of the problems mentioned in this thread. All my findings are using and testing aosp roms. Cm7 really but most aosp roms are based off of cm so this post should be helpful if you use an aosp rom and are having a unreleased pokelock caused by the dialer and/or high android system in the battery usage after phone calls. If you use a sense rom I do not recommend any of these fixes for you. If you use these on a sense rom you will probably mess something up and/or experience boot loops and lots of other problems. That being said lets get started:
Problem 1: The pokelock not being released after a phone call is made or received. This problem comes from the phone app and not the radios as far as I can tell from my tests.
Solution: http://www.mediafire.com/?xzw0zhonmnjw1xs
This file is a flashable zip of a new phone app that releases the wakelock after making a phone call the way its supposed to. I take no credit for this new phone app. It was made by Scott Brady (The same dev that fixed the mms problems on the evo in the cm nightlies about a month ago). I just got this from him. We haven't thoroughly tested it yet so please FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. Make a nandroid. I will say this though. In my current tests I have made about 40 calls with no pokelock and it seems to work wonderfully. The only reason I'm posting it early is because if you're like me and you know something is wrong then you want an immediate fix. Also using the killall command in terminal emulator or adb after every call can get tiresome... I have also tested with multiple radios In case anyone was wondering.
Problem 2: Android system spikes in the battery use in settings after a phone call is made or received.
Solution: I'm close but not finished yet...
Please read what I am about to say all the way through. What I have found is that the current proximity drivers for the evo are causing the android system in the battery use to go bonkers. I'm not really sure how much it affects your battery because it seems that it causes all your apps to not even show up in your battery stats. Proof? I have supplied two files in a zip:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mxks9k60shlckk5
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. One file is "sensors.supersonic.so" where I edited it so that android cannot find the drivers for your proximity sensor so it never comes on. The second file is "sensors.supersonic.so.bak" which is a backup of the original .so file that you can use if you want to turn your proximity back on. When I edited my sensors.supersonic.so file so the proximity wouldn't come on android system no longer spiked in my battery stats after a phone call!!! Also I tried to add a command to the build.prop first to disable the proximity sensor which would have been better practice but the command didn't work. Not sure if that's because cm overrides it or what. I can pretty much guarantee that this is an aosp problem and not a sense problem so if you use a sense rom you don't even need to worry about this. I doubt HTC has faulty proximity drivers on a stock rom... I could be wrong but I doubt it, they have screwed up in the past...
So what now? Well if you're on an aosp rom and the current proximity drivers work for you then you know what they say, "If it ain't broke don't try to fix it." For the rest of us I am in the process of trying to find some proximity drivers that don't make battery stats go haywire. Lets try to keep the thread relevant to findings so that we as a community can come closer to a fix instead of all the repetitive questions and things that don't help us get closer to a true fix... Don't forget the thanks button if you found this useful =P
Thanks for your time.
Edit: I would also like to add that I am on the most current radios, nv, and pri with no wakelock or spike in my android stats. And If you flashed the combo from the Calkulin thread you are probably missing the newest NV file because its not in there.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I believe I have FINALLY figured out how to solve the infamous "Wake-Lock" or "Keep Awake" of Android OS that seems to drain the battery on end. It took several hours of reading forum posts, several DAYS of testing on 5 different EVO's (I work at Sprint) and have tested the fix across a multitude of ROM's, including Sense.
I will post a short history of the issue as I know it here for those of you hitting this thread for the first time, skip below for the solution I have found.
Requirements:
-Radio S-OFF
-AmonRA Custom Recovery
-Android System always at or near the top in your battery usage
History
To the best of my knowledge the issue first started to appear in AOSP ROMS when the Cyanogen team stopped using HTC Blobs to control the driver for the GPS, As a great many custom roms utilize cyanogen for many of their own enhancements and fixes the problem began to propagate out to the community at an alarming rate. Restoring your system back was a hit or miss on if it actually solved the issue or not, and more RADIO files were getting leaked/posted online and many people were flashing a multitude of firmwares to their handset making the issue confusing and seemingly with no correlation on handsets with the people having issues.
I came across ViRuS Kingdom ROM and read about 1000 pages of posts and the conclusion from their team was that the PRI needed to be downgraded to 1.77 and behold, it worked......(mostly)......
I wondered how the PRI had anything to do with the fix, and mixed that with many, many other forums I have read on the issue realized myself that there was a correlative cause and that we all did indeed have something in common. Everyone was on a different radio/pri/nv/wimax combination. I decided to run some tests myself as I have access to ****loads of handsets being a Sprint employee and here is what I have found.
I have found exactly 1 combination that has fixed the issue on every single handset I have tried it on, hands down across the board on a great cross-section of ROMS.
-Cyanogen
-Kingdom
-MIUI
-SavagedZen
-Synergy
-Mik's
-Sense 3.7 build
-Sense 4.22 build
-FreshEVO 3.5
-FreshEVO 4.1
______________________________________________________________
THE FIX!
The fix is a combination of...
Radio: 2.15.00.05.02
PRI: 1.77_003
NV: 1.90_003
WiMAX: 27243
GPS: HTC VISION GPS ".so" file
-Download the below PC36IMG.zip It is a custom Combo Radio installation I created that will set your Radio/Pri/NV/WiMAX to the above settings
-Move the PC36IMG.zip file to the root of your SD-Card and reboot the phone into bootloader. It will load the file and prompt you for an update, you will see on the left 3 items that will be upgraded on your handset. Hit volume up to accept
-Reboot the phone after the Radio update, go ahead and remove the PC36IMG.zip file from the sd-card and put it in a safe place
-Download "GPS_FIX_Flashable_Vision.zip" and put on your SD-Card
-Reboot into Recovery (I highly recommend AmonRA 2.3)
-Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache. Now wipe them again just to be safe
-Choose "Install zip file from SDCard"
-Navigate to GPS_FIX_Flashable_Vision.zip and choose install
-Once installed go down to "Other" and "Fix UID mismatches"
-Reboot the phone
______________________________________________________________
Now heres the weird and tricky part so listen closely. At this time you will still see the Android System in your battery stats. This is normal. To see the fix, you need to charge your phone fully to 100%.... and honestly give it an extra 10-15m on the charger after it says its full. Now..... REBOOT the phone when you pull it off the charger. Use the phone a little bit, make a phone call... it may still pop up around 5%.... again this is normal..... after 2-3 hours however it will be gone, completely and utterly gone... it will never show up again.
I have tested this on 5 handsets hardware revision 0002 0003 & 0004, and about 6-7 ROMS both AOSP & Sense and have yet to see Android OS re-appear. This is not to say that it will work for everyone, but I think that after my testing, there's an excellent chance that this will work for you.
Please leave feedback if this works or does not work for you please so that everyone can benefit from your experience, either good or bad. Please, please please, follow the final instructions carefully, it does literally take a few hours to test and get the old stat to wipe from the battery history, that is why I started this, literally 2 weeks ago, and am just posting now. I tried TONS of combination's and this is the one that struck gold, then I needed to test this combination on all of the phones I had sitting in the back for this. If mirrors are needed please let me know, and I will upload.
Good Luck!

EDIT: It has come to my attention from a few members in PM, that the issue doesn't always "take" right away. People have reported that it can take 2 or 3 attempts, and 9 different people have reported that they have run the 1.77_003 NV after flashing the radio, and then running the GPS to resolve the issue.
---------------If the above fails for you after a 2nd attempt. Please follow these Modified Instructions
-Download the below PC36IMG.zip It is a custom Combo Radio installation I created that will set your Radio/Pri/NV/WiMAX to the above settings
-Move the PC36IMG.zip file to the root of your SD-Card and reboot the phone into bootloader. It will load the file and prompt you for an update, you will see on the left 3 items that will be upgraded on your handset. Hit volume up to accept
-Reboot the phone after the Radio update, go ahead and remove the PC36IMG.zip file from the sd-card and put it in a safe place
-Download "GPS_FIX_Flashable_Vision.zip" and put on your SD-Card
--MODIFIED STEP-- Download "EVO_NV_1.77_003" ~> http://www.mediafire.com/file/i1p436188iw0iqb/EVO_NV_1.77_003.zip (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485) & put the file on your SD-Card
-Reboot into Recovery (I highly recommend AmonRA 2.3)
-Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache. Now wipe them again just to be safe
-Choose "Install zip file from SDCard"
--MODIFIED STEP-- Navigate to EVO_NV_1.77_003.zip and choose install, once installed you will see a note at the bottom to reboot the phone. Choose the "Reboot Phone" option in AmonRA and let the phone reboot
-You will see the screen blink, go into recovery and hang, this is completely normal, just wait about 30 seconds and the phone will Automatically put you back into your recovery
-Choose option Flash zip file from SD-Card
-Navigate to GPS_FIX_Flashable_Vision.zip and choose install
-Once installed go down to "Other" and "Fix UID mismatches"
-Reboot the phone
Pickup the rest of the steps from above. PLEASE REPORT back your experience!

I have had issues like this as well, but only when I do the radio's through the recovery partition. That is why I enclosed it as a PC36IMG.zip file so that it could be done by the "official" HTC update method. I have had no issues doing it this way. Good luck, looking forward to hearing that your issue is resolved.

You shouldn't need to. If you are clearing your battery stats, do that for the reasons its intended, and make sure you follow the top off/drain instructions when doing so or it could lead to false readings.

No, you are only updating your radio and thus will not lose your data or have to reflash your ROM. Please remember to follow the short instructions at the end for charging/reboot/2 hours before reporting back here please.

I personally use CyanogenMOD Nightly 100 at the moment and it works like gangbusters on this ROM.

I used the GPS drivers provided by Vaelpak...and it worked! I'm using Salvage-Mod v1.2.1 GB 2.3.3 and my GPS pickup is now instant!
And to the OP, I haven't had this issue...but great work!!!
What is acceptable for Android System usage? I'm at 23% right now and it's third on my list behind Cell Standby and Phone Idle. Is 23% high? I know I've seen it higher before. I am interested to hear more feedback on this fix.
I assume when flashing a new nightly, I would need to reflash the GPS driver again?
That's not even the problem for me, I'm on hardware 4 and with any of the 2.3.3 Roms the highest thing draining my battery is the display any ideas on how to reduce that. It's between 50%-right now at 86%. I have turned off auto display and notifications. Thanks in advance for any help.

I had major issues with bat life and wake (android system) after flashing calkulins radiosfrom the ota 4.2.2 release. I downgraded radios to
Baseband 11.19
Pri 1.77
NV 1.77
Wimax 27167
Still have issues though. Is it safe to flash radios that many times. I have heard it can scree stuff up so should I flash your combo. Also my GPS works fine using cm 7.0.3.1 do I stool need to flash your GPS fix.
Cm 7.0.3.1
Sz 2.1.0 Cfs havs sbc
V0003
I did this for the hell of it even though I wasn't having too many issues on Virus revo 1.3 however this fixed my intermittent wifi issue and seems to have improved my battery too. Thanks a lot
Flashing it now while I'm at work (its slow today)
i am finished with the install of the zips, and rebooting now.. you said 2 hours.. i will post back my findings.. to let you know what is going on..
also.. as others have mentioned.. i havent been having any issues with the kingdom revo 1.3 rom.. other than battery drainage.. i dont have wake issues.. but wanted to see if this fixes anything.. will give updates..

Alien Stock provides a base TouchWiz ROM for your Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Samsung's original ROM stays fully intact with a few extras thrown in. I painstakingly mirrored all of the settings and files in a stock install. I know some users prefer stock ROMs and this gives them that flexibility. ROM developers, feel free to use this as a base.
Code:
- Based on AT&T UCLE2 4.0.4
- Zipaligned
- Deodexed
- Rooted
- Busybox and friends
- No CIQ
Alien Stock (full wipe - follow instructions below)
MD5 660610861b37d91f7206fc308b64bd1e
0) Take a Nandroid backup of your current ROM first!
1) Update to ICS radio if you haven't yet (Use my CWM zip here)
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache
4) Install from SD card
5) Format /cache under "mounts and storage"
6) Reboot. First boot will take a while, be patient (5+ minutes).
7) AT&T Ready2Go seems broken in this build.

Original ICS Leak
KennethPenn
UCLE2 ICS Leak
It's not working when I install! I'm receiving force closes, sitting at bootloops, etc.
Make sure you're installing the ROM correctly. Remember that kernels, MODs, radios, and carriers can mess with your phone's performance and workability.
I'm not on AT&T and this ROM is completely broken!
This ROM is not necessarily designed for international compatibility. Please wait for future updates or attempt an install with a proper international kernel.
Why is my device running/booting slowly?
Your first boot will take an unimaginably long time. After that, your device will continue to run slowly until the application cache is built up. Don't worry, the speed will increase as you use the ROM!
Why is my battery life bad?
Your battery life is often killed when flashing ROMs in CWM. For the best battery life, you must drain your device’s battery until it turns off. Plug the device into the AC adapter and let it charge until the image says 100% charged. Then turn it on and use the volume buttons to boot into CWM. Click Wipe Battery Stats under the advanced menu. Then you should charge to 100% and install the ROM. Battery life should be comparable to (if not better than) every other ROM.
What is this?
With the various trouble people seemed to be having with CWM-flashable ICS zips, I took a few minutes to put this together. This is ICS in CWM form, with a few extras. It has none of the problems with other CWM zips (lag, etc). I've kept it stock for those that prefer stock ROMs. This will be the base ROM for Alien ICS. I'll also do my best to keep this updated for future ICS leaks/releases.
Coming soon (its stock, what do you expect?)
Changelog:
Alien Stock UCLE2
Updated to UCLE2 leak.
Alien Stock UCLD2 re-release
Fixed busybox. No one told me it was broken.
Properly format /system, /data and /cache using Samsung provided tools.
Alien Stock UCLD2
Updated to the UCLD2 leak.
Few minor bugs fixed. I don't think they affected ROM usage, but never hurts to be thorough.
Alien Stock UCALC4
Initial ICS leak.
Known issues:
The home button has a slight delay. This is common in ICS (check SGS2 for example).
[*]Messages crashes if you delete a thread from the list view. This is a problem with the leak. Maybe I'll fix it if I get time.
Anything else that has been common with ICS from Odin (I really haven't noticed hardly anything to be honest).
If installed properly, this will not have the lag, data connection issues, etc of other CWM stock releases.
Some people have noticed weirdness when coming from GB related to the Home/Search keys. This appears to be related to updating from GB only (perhaps files on the SD card). Flashing the ROM a few times and booting into it between each flash seems to clear this up. Alternately, try backing up your internal SD card to your PC and then formatting it.
Miscellaneous:
If you want to enable "Preferred install location" in Settings -> Applications, run the following through an ADB shell and reboot:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update system set value="1" where name="set_install_location";'
I love you.
nice!!!!!!
Nice, been waiting for this one. Screen shots are coming I assume? Can this be used on 727R's (Rogers)?

Granted, I was still fleshing out the post, so maybe it wasn't there yet. But please check Help in the first post.
Short answer, I don't know. I'm an AT&T subscriber But if the ICS leak worked on Rogers, then this should too. The beauty of this release is really in the updater-script
I got an aborted install...Im gonna try to download again and flash.

Installed fine. Need me to take screens, just ask. Thanks so much for this.
The Vol Down + Power has yet to work for me (for screenshots)... Nvm, you have to hold the buttons down.
ROM is good though. May I suggest adding the dictionary fix for the next go-'round?

I'd say save that for Alien ICS, we need a good base around here. i Remember the first Alien back in November..first ROM i used.
EDIT: Donated...thanks romracer.
In case you need them.
So far so good. Smoother than the others so far. Had the home button bug. Reflashed and all is good. Thanks for all the work

Thanks, I'll put them up in the morning. One of my dogs ripped the skin off her lower jaw ("degloved the lower mandible") shortly after I posted this. Been a long night; surgery in the morning. Thanks for taking those SS.
First, I hope your dog is OK, I am a dog lover as well.
Ok, this might be a bit lengthy, but I've just spent 10 + hours trying different things and I want to let you know what all happened in hopes that the info can be used to help make Alien ICS one of the greatest ICS ROMS ever. Alot of this is already known, but I'll cover it anyway. And, of course, this is the experience I had with my phone...others may differ.
Background. I ODIN'd the ICS leak already, but found it buggy, bad connectivity, and a battery hog, so I went back to ALien 6 (GB).
I saw this posted and decided to give it another go. I followed the directions and didn't have any trouble with the actual install precedures themselves. However:
The first time I flashed the ROM, I found that I had the problem with the "Home an search" keys not working as well as the "shutdown and reboot" hanging. I tried to do a factory reset in the settings, but it wouldn't work. So I did another clean install of the ROM using the superwipe script this time as well.
The 2nd install fixed the "Home and Search" buttons, but I still had the "shutdown and reboot" hang. I fixed permissions, re-downloaded busybox and installed your insecure kernel and the 14 toggle mod. Nothing fixed it. SO, I did a 3rd clean install.
The 3rd time seemed to do the trick. Home and search buttons work,shutdown and reboot works, the 14 toggle mod works, etc. and, this time around everything seems alot more responsive and snappy.
Here is what I noticed:
All three install attempts (and the ODIN leak install) acted different in some ways that were suttle and others obvious. It appears to be hit or miss on any install and any method that is based on the ICS leak. I'm not sure why this is. But I am certain that reguardless of install method, it might take the way it is supposed to the first time, it might take 3 flashes or it might take 10 or more tries. It's just the luck of the draw. The fixes that people have reported as working are only temporary. That's why they work for some and not for others. It might make a certain aspect work (ie. installing a program makes shutdown work) but your ROM will still not be installed correctly. The only way to get it to work right is to keep trying until it installs with everything working, otherwise there will still be problems.
It will take of couple of days for me to test the connectivity and battery life.
So, people, as for now, if it isn't working for you the only real fix on this ROM or any based on the ICS leak is to keep reflashing until it finally works all the way.
I can't wait for you (romracer) to start baking the mods into this and if I can help let me know. I'll post back here when I get more results from this last flash. Thanks.
Is it safe to apply this over Alien #6 (GB)? Just follow the instructions in the OP?

That's exactly what I did. Make sure you make a nandroid of 6 before you do it...just in case you want to go back. And follow the directions completely. Make sure you flash the modem first. And understand that even if you follow the directions exactly you might still need to flash this more than one time to get everything working. Just make sure you check for any of the known glitches right after you flash and before you start personalizing it. That way if something isn't working correctly and you need to reflash a time or two or more, you will not have wasted any extra time in the process. When you finally get it the way you want it and feel it is installed correctly (glitch free) do another nandroid so you'll have a point to jump to if you want to try something else and then go back again. Good luck.
