[RELEASE] jt1134 and Dirrk Kernels - Fascinate Android Development

Hey guys-
I know it seems that development is going slow on this device, but please dont post links to kernels you find / repost links that are on IRC. Right now ALL kernels are very alpha, and some stuff may be broken, thats why kernels have been released in IRC and only IRC, so the developers can see instantly what the problem is.
If the original developer didnt post the kernel here, I would not flash it, just because it may be super outdated or may brick your device. The kernels that have been posted were never meant for public consumption, just for testing purposes past the devs themselves.
Voodoo is on the way, and we do have working source right now for voodoo, and all source is up at www.github.com/jt1134 if you want to try building it yourself.
To install the stock hacked kernel (for use with clockwork) you can install this zip in recovery: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Fascinate%20Files/stockkernel-signed.zip
Edit: dirrk's kernel is posted below, it is still alpha / beta so be careful with it.

SetCPU Govenor: On Demand doesnt work.

Here are a few more overclocked kernels. Exercise caution when using these kernels and have a backup
Kernels are overclock to 1100/1200 respectively, and are using stock voltage levels. Speed is capped at 800MHz on boot, use setcpu or similar to overclock. DON'T USE ONDEMAND GOVERNOR!!AND DON'T USE PROFILES WITH SETCPU!!
BLATANT WARNING:
The original kernels posted here cpu/voltage values can be changed on the fly, even without rebooting. If you decide to change these values, then you are on your own. Please understand what you are doing. If you break your phone and yell at me, I will laugh in your face for ignoring the blatant warning.
END BLATANT WARNING

Thanks for the update. I've been holding off because of the horror stories. I'm rooted for now and cannot wait for Voodoo!

I do need to work on my patience. Thanks to you and others who do what you do.

I agree with all of this, EXCEPT - I don't think development is going slowly! of course, all I have to compare with is the Droid 1. That device wasn't even rooted a month after it was released, and it was a couple of months after that before Koush compiled CM5 (current at the time).
I got my Fascinate on release day, and less than a month later we've got root, OC'ed kernels (not for the faint of heart, but they're here!), and we're soon to have reliable OC's and probably CM6.1 shortly after FroYo gets pushed.
Seriously smart and dedicated people are working VERY hard on this stuff, and it'll be coming along shortly!
A LITTLE patience people!

Ahaha, Same here. I remember CM4 and going to CM6 a few months ago seemed like the development went from point a to z over night.

Dirrk whats your definition of low voltage? If I read the doc correctly, JT's Kernal does 1.2Ghz with 1325mV; I believe. You at like 1250mV or something? Seems the Epic guys are making that voltage/speed combo work.
As always deepest appreciation for all your efforts

For some reason when I click on the link to the kernel it takes me to my Google docs with nothing there...

Flashed, installed SetCPU, adjusted scale to 1200 and was getting some apps closing on me (not force closing, just opening and closing) then it started to freeze, so i restored back.
Does restoring through CWM replace the kernel too?

You may need to use odin to flash the stock kernel.
I am still under restrictions or i would post a link to do so. It is in this forums if you look around.

Lockscreen question.

I was reading the development forums and see the thread for epic and fascinate lockscreens. But no one will give me step by step directions on how to install them. I am rooted with akaskrillers lag fix and overclock with the jfd baseband. Can anyone hook me up?
I need it in plain English because I really don't wanna screw it up. Thank you so much in advance.

I know I am not helping you out with your question directly, but you might check out a custom rom that already has them installed. I suggest either Master rom 1.1.4 ( my daily driver) or Bionix 1.9.1. Both of them are crazy easy to flash, and have the lock screens you wnat... not to mention their improved speed and performance over the jfd base.
edit... Master is unleashing a froyo rom very soon, so my suggestion will be to use Bionix, as i am not sure if the lock screens will make it into Masters 2.2 rom.

Ehh, Yeah they will be in my 2.2 ROM. Just not the beta version of it
But yeah, I have to agree with him.. You should probably go with a ROM that has it installed already...
I was using bionic at one point, but with the lag fix and overclock its superfast now. I get roughly 2400 quadrent score plus I like the tmobile stock apps. That's the reason I just wanted to know about the lock screens.

YOu have to use ROM Manager to flash the .zip files.
Go to the Development section, and download the .zip files, and put them somewhere in your SD card.
Using ROM Manager, go where it says "Install ROM from SD card"
Find the .zip files, and done.
Your phone will boot up in recovery mode and flash it.

O/Cing question.

I have a dumb question, and didn't seem to get a direct answer. I just recently started flashing new roms and using odin, but was curious about O/Cing. With the Fusion rom already flashed, do I just flash the Voodoo kernel or do I reflash the stock firmware and THEN flash the kernel followed by the rom? Or is there something I should or should not do in there, lol. Any input is appreciated, as I am relatively new to all this.

Ok, so I read up and flashed the Project Core v2 kernel last night on the 1.2 Fusion rom and it ran perfectly and was super quick at 1200/200 on setcpu. Problem is today after rebooting, it will completely freeze every once in a while while doing something media-wise, such as watching youtube videos or playing Hyper Jump. I know I didn't flash the kernel or rom wrong, so is there something I am missing? I also have the OCLF installed, if that matters.
Tonight I am going to reflash them both to see if it works, but would like to see if there is something I can do before I get off work.

you can just flash the voodoo kernel over fusion,but not all vibrants are capable of using voodoo. i.e. the vibrants with the larger nand chip does not support voodoo. if you do flash the voodoo kernel and your phone does not support, everything will still work just fine,but voodoo will not be enabled.
as for OCing..not all vibrants are capable of OC. it may run smooth at first,but some vibrants will start freezing up or slowing down. i found dragons kernel to work amazing or core 1.0ghz kernel

[KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Telus Fascinate (T959D)

Hi there
The kind of kernel published here are only stock kernels, which means the exact same code build by Samsung for Vibrant phones.
Of course, there's a difference: Voodoo lagfix 5 stable has been injected in them, with its extensions and also ClockWorkMod recovery as default recovery.
Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.
Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.
Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)
This kernel also installs the su binary for your convenience. Only activated once you download Superuser App from market. If you don't want to "root" your phone, skip this part.
How do choose the version?
The best version is the closest to the one of the ROM / system you run.
If you use a custom ROM instead of an official Samsung one, ask your ROM dealer which one is closer
update.zip you can flash with ClockWorkMod recovery (not 2e or 3e) or SGS Kernel Flasher
JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3-unsigned-update.zip
.tar you can flash with Odin or Heimdall
JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3.tar
Note, please disable any other lagfix previously installed, especially OCLF-kind (the conversion to Ext4 would take ages)
These kernels are only for Telus Fascinate (T959D), sorry Verizon Fascinate pals.
EDIT: How Lame, I created this thread in the General section after seeing other T959D threads here ^^ A moderator help is welcome
Thank you!
Just flashed this and enabled the voodoo lagfix! So far so good! Just a note...I have SGS Kernel flasher and it won't flash the .tar, it will flash the .zip.
Quadrant score: 1517 first try, 1577 second try.
Just sent you a little donation, thank you again.
Thank you, I updated now the post, also to say it's tested
THANK YOU!!!
Glad to see you on the fascinate, even if it is not the verizon version.

Anyways, i appreciate your hard work. Is there any common issues?
is there anyway we can get this kernal overclocked and undervolted? im not giving up my 1.28ghz so i can have a working home button
Flashed this last night and everything is working fantastically. Many thanks as well as a donation later today.

Im running Nero v5 ROM which I understand is KA5 with the Speedmod Kernel on my Telus Fascinate T959D and its running superb
If I flash over the KA6 kernel, will I lose the Speedmod Kernel along with all the TWEAKS ??
With all these kernels around including the Voodoo injected T959D just posted by supercurio Im wondering whether which will be the best combination with Nero v5...Voodoo 5.2 lagfix is also now available so confused...
Question from a first time flasher.
Do I have to rename the zip to "update.zip" in order to flash?
Never mind. Apparently not!

[Q] What to choose CM7 or Devoid

Here's how my phone is set up
Root: Gingerbreak v1.20
Rom: Devoid Froyo Final
Theme: SuperBlue V5
Kernel: Franco 18v
Recovery Image: AmonRa 2.2.x
I have heard much talk about CM7 and have done a bit of research but I have not come across a couple of questions and would hate to post questions in the Dev's thread when I can easily ask for advice here through my own thread
1. Do I absolutely need to have Clockworkmod's recovery, and if so, do I need to download Rom Manager (1. Ive used Rom Manager and it did not work for me, 2. I know of the flashable recovery image's and always manage to flash back to AmonRa)
2. I now know that I do not need to have any baseband's since Im not wanting to flash any Gingerbread rom's but am I missing anything, I need advice on that subject ?
3. Does CM7 have the power menu options like my superblue theme v5 has for devoid froyo final ?
4. In your opinion, which rom produces the best results ie...Neocore,Quadrant Scores (you get the picture)
5. I have a ****ty ass LG optimus T, there are so many higher grade phones typically G2x, the new HTC phone that tmobile has just started putting on the market (Dual Core processor-Snapdragon 1.2 GHZ)
You posted this in the wrong thread.
All of your questions could be answered by reading the threads that are already posted. most of your answers are on the first page of the threads. This tells me you didn't even take the time to read the first page. But enough of that...
My personal opinion is to use a cm7 based rom. It is faster than the original gingerbread based roms right now. Be sure to READ any bugs our issues that the rom may have before you install it and do some homework before posting.

You should post it on General
But, on topic: devoid is good, but CM7 is worth it.

1) You need CWM for Rom manager to work, it won't work without it. It's generally recommended to use CWM since it supports newer installation methods than amonra
2) Don't need the new baseband for CM7
3) By powermenu do you mean reboot and reboot into recovery? If so, then yes. It also adds a new part to the settings menu, allowing you to change CPU speeds and governer, and tweak the interface.
4) Benchmark scores don't really reflect "real world" performance, your mileage will vary. CM7 and franco's 18.1 kernel is the fastest set up I have used, even on stock speeds
5) You get what you pay for in phones.
Edit: This thread should have been made in the general section. The development section is for development threads. If you aren't posting code, bug fixes, or bug reports then you are posting in the wrong section.
You know I thought I posted in General, but your not the first to say that, also which recovery image did you use ? Ive currently got AmonRa 2.2.x running, is Cyan's mod only going to work with the CWM's recovery ? Also what's with your kernel, I see that your running something Ive never seen before, Im using the latest-franco kernel v18.1
I'm on Devoid Final since I need bluetooth calling but if that is fixed, I would use CM7 in a heartbeat ( don't even mind the other bugs. I dont use my phone's cam and MoboPlayer can watch videos)
Oh and maybe you used ROM Manager when the phone wasn't supported yet. I was able to flash Clockwork Recovery just yesterday using ROM Manager...
I'm not sure about the power menu on CM7 since I didnt test it but that can be fixed with a theme. And ROM Manager can boot into Recovery without even touching the power button. I was on AmonRa until yesterday.
Yeah Ive used AmonRa's recovery image since G1, I was out of the loop for 2 years on the whole android development scene, so Im having to re-learn what I had once known, things have changed alot in the past 2 years

either one is ok I believe, if you want a certain kernel grab the ComRom with no kernel and flash your own
tapatalked from my super VZ Fascinate powered by CM7
But, if you're going to stick with a stock kernel you will need this one. So that cwm recovery flash will actually stick. Flash kernel using odin, boot, power down, pull batt, flash cwm in odin, insert batt 3 finger to recovery, flash no kernel rom, boot.
good day.
thanks, not sure if I will use stock kernel yet.
Let's say you flashed the ROM that had the built-in kernel already, can you still flash another kernel like OTBs or do you need to flash the stand-alone/no kernel distribution first? Also, can the kernel in the all-in-one package be OC'd or UC'd?
Thanks!

There is a version of ComRom which comes with OTB 1.5. OTB 1.6 is latest vesion but in not packaged with ComRom.
Yes you can flash other kernels after flashing rom/kernel package but if the new kernel is not voodoo make sure you disable the lagfix first. Also, if you use a non voodoo kernel do not enable the lagfix from CWM unless you flash a voodoo kernel again.
Lastly, OTB allows for voltage and clock adjustments. PBJ kernels are underclocked but I dont believe they are adjustable

Chopper you seem to be very knowledgable and informed concerning our phone. I have one more question I hope you can answer for me. Are there any advantages to using a non voodoo kernel instead of voodoo kernel with lagfix disabled?
Thank you I appreciate your help. I know a decent amount from post about the general rules for flashing/odin/heimdall/adb/voodoo but most threads on forums do not go into enough detail for the reader to know their limits when experimenting.
Thanks again

LOL...I dont post very often so I am still learning forum etiquette. I am more of a sit back and absorb guy.
Someone may come by and add to this or offer their own view and tell me that I'm a douche. But Ext4 (voodoo) does come with a small hit to the battery but offering up faster read write speeds and the other changes that may have been added i.e. bln, sound, uv, oc. Now yes you can use a uv'd voodoo kernel with a "disable lagfix" file in place so that your file system with be rfs (extending battery) but marginally slowing some operations down. Since the new voodoo control plus allows for the sound module to be loaded on any kernel on the fly, I find myself at the moment running comm rom 2.1 with an old EB01 kernel in rfs. And I have been real pleased with my battery over the last 3 days since using the "vintage kernel" in rfs, plus also having voodoo sound is a plus. I really missed how the buttons used to light up with the screen, but ever since we've had mesmerize source kernels the buttons need to be touched to light them up when waking the device. You just need to find your own kernel/rom combo for your needs. But I have never been in any race to have the highest quad score, I just like my device to work with the best battery and stability.
good day.
