ICS ROMs for the Fascinate

Hey guys,

I recently tried flashing the Team Hacksung ICS port, Gummy Fascinate, and AOSPK and they all have the same issues for me. I understand that these are in an alpha state but none of the "Not Working" sections include the problems I am having. First, I cannot receive text messages but I can send them. Second, when exiting an app or the settings menu, the home screen takes five seconds to reset (all of the icons/dock are gone, only the wallpaper shows at first). Third, the launcher becomes incredibly slow after only a few minutes. I close out of all of the apps that are running using the new multitasking feature (holding the home button) but the phone remains sluggish until I reboot it. Then, it is lightning fast until I open any app. Fourth, scanning of my SD card seems to stop after a few seconds after booting. I have about 14 GB of music on my SD card and it only loads the first few artists. It does this every time I boot up so I can never see the entire library. Fifth, sometimes the app I am using will close and I am forced to wait for the home screen to reset, as I mentioned before. No error messages for force closing appears. Sixth (this is only a minor inconvenience but I want to understand why it happens), when I use SMS Backup + to restore my texts, the minute I leave the app or let the screen turn off, it returns to "Idle mode and I have to restart the entire process over again.

TL;DR I have a bunch of issues that other users don't seem to be having and they are not listed on the "Not Working" sections of the ROMs.

I would appreciate if anyone could help me come up with a solution to any one of these problems. I am looking forward to using ICS!

Those instructions are pretty good aside from the part in step 8 that suggests flashing the radio. It's already included in the EH03 package so it's just redundant, but those instructions are essentially the same as my procedure and I'm on build 6 without the issues you're experiencing (as are other people).

I'm curious if you have the same problems on other roms or is it just ICS? Have you ever messed around with overclocking and maybe got a bit aggressive? I know that if you're not careful and know what you're doing with the new overclocking and voltage control that are a part of glitch v14 you could certainly damage your phone. If it's just ICS roms and you've never messed with OC, I'm not really sure why you'd be running into those issues.

I only have these problems on ICS. I don't flash EH03 everytime like it suggests in the instructions. My last SD card was fried by CM7 so this SD card is brand new and I'm pretty sure it's a class 10, so speed shouldn't be an issue. Could it really be the SD card that's causing these problems?

Also, I have messed around with glitch v14 and overclocking to attempt to alleviate the sluggishness and I used to use v12 and v13 with CM7 before with no issues. V14 did not help at all so I'm on the stock CM9 kernel and I have erased the voltage settings.

I didnt say it was the sd card, just simply asked if you have tried another...relax grasshoppa. If you dont follow instructions expect stuff not to work right.

Not sure if it will make a difference, but I ODIN and repartitioned to stock verizon DL09.. then CWM, wipe, build two, wipe, gummyfassy...

I have run into some strange issues when I reverted to another stock verizon package other than DL09 before flashing custom roms.. so out of superstitions sake, I always default to DL09.

I use to have to do the same thing when I was on the stock sd card. Pretty sure the op did not odin back to stock anything going by his last post. I agree tho it wouldnt hurt to try stock ed05 or dl09, but dl09 should no longer be necessary.

I wasn't angry or anything, I was just wondering if the SD could be a problem. I always flash back to the stock EH03 ROM before flashing ICS or CM7 but do you think I should go all the way back to DL09?

I don't think it would harm anything to go to a more previous version. Make sure you repartition using the .pit file when flashing in ODIN if coming from MTD rom

Every time i tried all the ICSs I odined to EH03 as my starting point, then odined CWM4 fixed for CM7, then I flashed ICS Hacksung 3 first......Reboot...Reboot into recovery, Flash ICS 6 [or what ever new flavor you would like] then flash Gapps 7.1....Reboot.... Enjoy

Start from scratch and you will be good to go.

Ok, so at what point do you personally wipe data/cache/dalvik? I flash to stock, flash CWM fixed, wipe all three, install THS build 2, reboot, wipe all three, flash ICS rom of choice, flash all three, install gapps 7.1, and reboot.

usually before you flash a full rom:

Odin EH03
LET THE PHONE BOOT
pop battery
Odin CWM4 for CM7
[three finger salute]
Wipe the three
Flash THS 3
Let Phone boot, then reboot to recovery using the power button [DO NOT 3 finger!!!!]
Wipe the three
Flash THS 6 [or any of the others, you dont need to flash all three just which ever your end game is, i recommend THS 6 not 6.1 for starters]
*No need to wipe or reboot in between these two*
Flash Gapps 7.1
Then reboot and enjoy
