Prologue:

(OLD) Hi all, I didn't feel like waiting for a full EC10 ROM, so I made one. I have been doing testing today (3/29-3/30) to work out bugs that I encounter, and I think I have it to where there are none... or very few. This ROM is a Mesmerize EC10 port, and as some know the phone is pretty much identical to ours minus a few things USCC. This is a sole project created by myself with indirect help from the Fascinate forum users.

/////////////////////////////////////////

Thanks goes to: adrynalyne (mods), GizmoDroid (mods), gtg465x (launcher), L3ttuc3 (SMS/MMS ideas), dfgas (SMS/MMS tips), and everyone else!

/////////////////////////////////////////

A few notes:

  • Flash this at your own discretion. I am providing this ROM for testing to the community. You may encounter bugs, though I hope there are not many, if any.
  • This ROM requires CWM recovery.
  • This ROM DOES NOT include a kernel, you must have one in place or have one installed already, or install one after flashing in recovery.
  • Wipe cache/dalvik-cache before flashing this ROM for best results.
  • I would also recommend re-provisioning your phone with *228 option 1 (activation) and option 2 (PRL update) after loading the ROM.
  • Fix permissions just in case, after ROM flash, you can do this by using either ADB or a terminal emulator: 1) type "rw", 2) type "fxpms", 3) Reboot

/////////////////////////////////////////

Thank you for the hard work! BTW why did you remove Swype and Samsung keyboard? They are awesome imo.
I agree, but I couldn't find a compatible version of Swype that would work. Samsung Keypad works fine, but I removed all custom keyboards. In other versions, I may add them back.

In the mean time, sign up for Swype beta: http://beta.swype.com/ This will net you the latest version of Swype.

So do you think this would work better since it is all based off of a single release?
Test it and report back any problems that you encounter. This ROM goes beyond the cleaning of SuperClean and also provides you with most of the best ROM tweaks up front (though everything is of opinion).

Like others said this is pure EC10 (which is the latest). As far as I know EC10 is the official version release for the Mesmerize, which means (though does not prove) that it is likely this version is also for the Fascinate. The most likely reason that Verizon has not released something yet is because they are VERY picky about the BLOATWARE that comes with your device. Verizon will delay software releases to the moon and back until they have every little penny pinching bloat possible.

second issue, theres no lock screen.
To fix the home button and lock screen, follow this exactly. Load command prompt, and:

Code:
$ adb shell
$ cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
$ sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite>  .tables
sqlite>  select * from secure;
sqlite>  INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES (‘device_provisioned’, 1);
sqlite>  .exit
Reboot, that should fix both.

I'm also releasing a second version within a few hours. I found a problem with the init.d scripts not loading as they should, which will be fixed in this new version.

What kernel are you using by chance? There was a problem with a recent kernel that made the home button function as a back button. Try flashing a newer kernel.
Unfortunately this isn't the issue. The home button and lockscreen are not working because the device thinks it is not provisioned. The device has to be provisioned in order for these two functions to work. The database has to be updated to provisioned so that they start to work.

No one has built anything for this framework yet, only EB01. You could probably load the EB01 5 lock mod on this, but I can't promise you compatibility. Also, the custom Settings.apk used in that package would have menu links to things that do not exist at all in this ROM, like the Sync Service.
