Voodoo & clockwork on telus fascinate!!

[LINKSLOVESANDROID]

ive been testing kernals on my telus fascinate t959d to see if there was any way to get around the no developer issue and came across the love off my live.

the kernels name is "Voodoo-stable-5.0.-Froyo-GT-I9000-odin-pda".
From leaked stock 2.2, i flashed this kernel over the stock through odin. during the initial boot, the female droid voice walked me thru voodoo setup. wait afew minutes after your phone is done loading to allow voodoo to completely enable itself or u will get fc issues. To get to Red clockwork recovery, while your phone is off, hold both volume bottons and the power button. continue holding those 3 buttons until the 2nd i9000 popsup then release all 3 buttons. That should load u into clockwork recovery voodoo. This just basically opened the floodgates for rom testing for me. im running nero v4.1 on my TELUS FASCINATE t959d with no errors at all.

imma upload and post the link
this is the omega leaked 2.2 files in cause u need emergency odin reflash

this is the voodoo enabled kernel
http://rapidshare.com/files/442330146/Voodoo-stable-5.0.1-Froyo-GT-I9000-odin-pda.tar to install this, just download odin, get yout phone into download mode, place the file in the pda slot, and go. i suggest u go back to stock b4 u start for a wiped stock install. if u need help, email me at [email protected] Thx to omega for creating my interest in android custom roms

after playing around some more ive realized the telus t959d can use most i9000 kernels with no issues. the only 2 issues ive found running advanced voodoo is theres no home button but since i hate having apps running in the background that doesnt bother me and when your phone completely dies, and u plug it in, the battery charge screen gliches out and needs a battery pull. i can easily get around both for the features of a overclocked or undervolted kernel. as far as roms go, most i9000 roms and most vibrant roms work! after i got the rom up and running i just reflashed the proper kernel 4 my phone and the telus modem pulled from omegas leak and bam! ive tested both i9000s darkys v8.0 gingerbread but didnt like the icons for sms and gmail and also nero v4.1 for vibrant with flashed telus modem and i9000 kernel which works mint. running right now. advanced voodoo comes with a custom boot which overwrites the poopy i9000 image and replaces it with a red voodoo anvanced screen. so instead of seeing the sght959d then i9000, it says sgh t959d then advanced voodoo then nexus x boot. looks sweet

Not quite "mint" from your own description.

These are some of the problems I had running kernels / Roms meant for other phones, are you experiencing any of the same?

1- Reversed volume buttons
2- GPS not working (as in won't even start)
3-No FM radio
4- Plugging in the USB cable caused the phone to go into a shutdown/boot loop

GREAT NEWS!!! FINALLY!

Tho.. since Im noob in this world.. Im going to wait a little more until we find suitable (i.e. no homekey error stuff ) and stable!!

Great Great Great GREAT! Thanks LINKSLOVESANDROID!!!!

Please update more and more about your "experiment" Hehehe

i had these same issues while running a vibrant kernel. install a i9000 kernel. use 1 of the 1s i packaged in the 1st 2 posts. i flashed a i9000 kernel to get clockwork. then used clockwork to flash nero v4.1 which comes with a vibrant kernel in the rom which automatically overwrites your previous i9000 kernel u flashed b4 hand to get clockwork running. i then used odin to flash a i9000 kernel over the vibrant kernel. Then used the telus modem pulled from omegas 2.2 leAK and flashed that over phone in odin Which left my telus fascinate with the following

-1.3 Ghz Overclock / Undervolted Kernel(Thx U Voltage Control)
-Advanced Voodoo v666.2 i think.... with voodoo sound and advanced voodoo bootscreen

-Nero v4.1 Gingerbread Looks NICE!!!

-working voice calls and text messages

-3d gaming working mint with overclock

-google maps is working properly- navigation seems to not b able to find location thou i didnt wait long and i was indoors

-fm radio is not there because it was not made 4 i9000s just the t959d but isnt a big deal 4 me cause u need to have the headphones that came with the phone hookedup to use as a antenna. if u dont have those exact heapdhones plugged in, the phone says something like please attach headphones for antenna signal." better to just geta internet streaming radio app

- flashing the i9000 kernel solved the following issues

proper volume rockers configuration

and the charging issue. now charging works fine. the only time i had a issue was when i charged my phone while it was turned off and it needed a battery pull. but then i plugged it back in while off and it worked fine.

basically, the only issue i can see being a problem for some is the no home button just 2 back buttons. but honestly, the android os told me to use back more often then home so it saves system ram and doesnt have too much background apps running.

so basically, if your want a custom rom, the only downside is theres no home button and navigation MAY not work.

on the plus side, your phone will become super fast to the point stock rom is slow. ill b posting a video in the coming days of my rom setup from phone startup to shutdown to PROVE this method works

Another user has asked supercurio to make us a custom kernel, supercurio said in his vibrant kernel thread that he would, but that was a couple of days ago. Please post the vid, this intrests me, I can live with the back and home button problems, but am worried about the usb boot loop.

EDIT: I've just flashed the kernel you suggested. Home acts like back, but everything else seems fine so far. I booted into clockwork and enabled voodoo, plus I also O/C to 1200mghz. When I get home i'm going to plug it into usb and see what happens. Hopefully no bootloop!

OK so I have big market place problems, from what I can gather, the phone is recognized by the market as an i9000, which means I can't get some apps that i've had before...everything works but home...just sucks that the market does not work...will try to fix with market enabler...

Market is totally f'd up. Tried to fix by:

- go back to stock kernel - no good
- factory reset - no
- clockwork wipe data/cach - no good
- flash a new rom and start fresh - no good

I'm going to ODIN back to complete stock now, and re-root. I would recommend to NOT FLASH this kernel, the market does not work properly. Nothing is there; no rom manager, no sgs anything and your paid apps will be GONE.

I'm so glad that this topic is on its way!

A question from a noob tho... Is flashing other ROM kernel is the only way we can have custom ROMS?

Why can't we have our own?? (

If you can post up a video so i can check out what you've posted, i would be willing to help out and find solutions for some of the problems at hand.
Right now i'm alittle wary about this.

Right now i'm alittle wary about this.

There are two problems i had:

1. The market is f'd up...i'm on some wierd test market and can't get access to my paid apps, or any other apps for that matter, only test apps. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878181&page=5 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10736976&postcount=89

2. Home acts like back, which is a big problem since you can't multitask because as you hit back to do the next thing, you will close whatever you were doing before.

Other than those two problems everything worked fine.

Why can't we have our own?? (

until a developer decides we are a big enough group of users that we deserve our own "hiding spot" we will have to use i9000 kernels to use custom roms. rumor has it the creator of voodoo supercurio is developing a kernel for our phones which will lead to custom roms. until then, i9000 kernels r the way togo. i have a i9000 advanced voodoo kernel overclocked at 1.28 ghz and undervolted to save battery running a vibrant custom rom called nero v5 which basically skinned the entire setup to look like gingerbread and got rid of the samsung bloatware. honestly, even after we have our own custom kernel ill b sticking with i9000 kernels. just because development has been rediculously slow with the telus t959d fascinate. its taken this long b4 a kernel was even thought about. until it has its own development team creating new roms like every other sgs model on a weekly basis, i9000 wuill have the go ahead. i9000 kernels can run i9000 roms and vibrant roms. and there development communitys are huge! try the above method using custom i9000 kernel. the only issue is theres no home button and afew apps wont download because it thibnks your ussing a i9000. only app i notcied was that 3d mmorpg wont download. i cant remember the name of it. but other then that its great. i got psx4droid running final fantasy 9 overclocked with voodoo. runs MINT!!!! ill gladly walk u through the entire process over msn or facebook etc. send me a email [email protected].

i jhad no problems with market. works perfect for me. i just got my girlfriends hd camera so imma record a video at some point tonight. most likely start a fresh thread with proper step by step instructions to get it up to the point i have mine

thanks for the reply! I would go ahead with the kernel but the only downside I'm worried about is the home key I use it all the time XD

i cannot find a cwm_froyo.tar for telus fascinate anywhere. every link in these forums give me a recovery zip but only has recovery.bin in it..anyone help? this is going to be my first attempt at flashing a new rom so i am pretty nervous and i dont want to brick my phone, i amalready rooted, i have cw rom manager on my phone and everytime i flash cwm recovery it says it was successful i go to recovery and my phone reinstalls stock recovery without cwm, any info or links to tuts would be apreciated...

figured this one out

thanks for the reply! I would go ahead with the kernel but the only downside I'm worried about is the home key I use it all the time XD

use Galaxy Tuner.... enables gestures to replace the missing home key. works great
