Any one know of anything else I can do with my fascinate. Running 1.1 Zinc with no kernel. My phone does not approve. Anything I'm missing out on?

I wouldn't approve of that, either!
Seriously, if you were able to flash a ROM, and you did it through Clockwork Recovery/ROM Manager, then you are running a modded kernel.
Voodoo seems to be causing some people more trouble than they feel it's worth, so I'd suggest one of jt1134's or Dirrk's non-Voodoo kernels, or Birdman's once it's past the testing stage.
Non-voodoo? I must have missed those. Search is not being my friend. Care to link a guy up? The only kernel threads I can find are their voodoo kernels.

swing by irc #samsung-fascinate on freenode.net. check topic for kernel links
My phone started lagging badly 3 days after the vodoo lagfix...how ironic. When I disabled it, it nearly bricked my phone. Desperate to get my phone up and running, I did a wipe. It killed the phone's internal memory. Had to reflash back to stock and since then my phone has been running really well w/o the lagfix even. Maybe my phone had a bad image like a computer. Not doing anything else to my phone til froyo comes out. I am rooted though.

You could try more cow bell. I heard it's the only cure for some fevers.
I've been semi-bricked three times when I've disabled Voodoo, and I did it right. So I use a non-voodoo kernel now. I'll wait until these bugs are ironed out. Join the irc chat and jt and the other devs commonly post kernel links.
Yup.. Using jt's 1031 test kernel now (novoodoo). Running beautifully.

Technically voodoo hasn't bricked a single phone. User error and then likely a small error in the proccess itself have caused some ugly problems but it can be overcame with a little work

I said semi-bricked. It wouldn't get past the boot screen. It couldn't have been user error two of those times, because I used reboot button to do it.

Thank you for this. Seriously though, I've been running jt's voodoo kernels since their release with only minor problems. I've disabled voodoo and flashed other kernels no less than three times without issue. Granted it does take a while to boot after enabling/disabling voodoo. The first few times I thought I screwed up, but it always boots for me.

I think it's a phone to phone thing. Some people have no problems just turning off voodoo when they flash ROMs and kernels. I have to use adrynalyn's voodoo uninstaller and wipe completely if I want to change ROMs or kernels.
Weird.
Yea when I tried to turn voodoo off it took 4 reboots before it took. No issues after that though.
*EDIT* Posted in wrong thread...my apologies
Used the "reboot button" app to disable Voodoo. It hung on "Samsung" for over an hour after robot women said "operation completed" or whatever. i finally admitted defeat and did a battery pull. Restart resulted in a boot loop. I was able to recover following the "remove Voodoo" thread and flashing the stock Nandroid. From there I flashed jt's v.4 Super Clean ROM with Frost's theme. Having had the stones to try Voodoo again but honestly my phone is running good with just the Super Clean ROM. Having a recent Titanium backup really helped get my phone back in order quickly.
While it was an unpleasant experience it ended well and resulted in a nice clean and fast Fascinate. Best part though is that I'm no longer afraid to flash my phone since I now know I can recover fairly quickly.

...that way lie the dragons...
Yeah, that's pretty much what destroyed any hope I had of *not* being a total ROM-a-holic. I have owned this thing for no more than 2 weeks and have pushed over a dozen different roms/kernels on it.
I cannot even imagine what this poor phone will be going through once we start getting things like Cyanogen's up and running.
(currently using jt's 1031 USCC non-voodoo kernel...at least until I get home.)
WiFi doesn't work with any custom kernels. I tried Dragon, DoW, and Dead Horse flashed over Bionix v 1.2.1, and none of them have WiFi, even after a restart. Re-flashing any official kernel works just fine. Since I don't have data, this kinda neuters my phone. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try flashing them on a different rom. Deodexed stock is a good place to start.

Aw. In that case, the custom kernels probably aren't worth losing Bionix.

Oh, I didn't think of that! I'll give it a shot when I get home.
That didn't help. I forgot to clarify that I can connect to the AP and get an IP, but I can't actually load anything.

Wifi works great for me. It's got to be something with your wifi settings.
Bionix-v1.2
Dragon kernel v4 Test4
Androdena theme
Does your wifi work on stock? If not you might wanna look into some of those radio mods, perhaps similar to the gps antennae issue with poor contact...not sure if they share the same issue though.

Yes, the reason I suggested trying a different rom wasn't so much to give up on bionix, but more to narrow down your issue. This is a unique isue to you, pretty much, so unfortunately you're going to have to do you own troubleshooting.
You can also try reflashing Bionix, which wil likely also fix the issue. More than likely it's something that happened since you flashed your rom that has caused the issue.
Once you reflash, boot up and wait 10 min, then flash the kernel you want. Then make sure your wifi works. If it does, proceed to add back all your apps, etc, but continually make sure your wifi is still working. That's about al I can tell you.
I tried reflashing Bionix 1.2.1 with its default kernel (KB1), and WiFi worked fine. I then later tried Dragon, and it didn't work. If I get the chance I'll try a different ROM. Any suggestions as to a good alternate?
Hm. Flashed DoW and it magically worked. That was odd. Thanks all!
can anyone help? My phone won't connect reliably to wifi networks. It detects them cycles that it is connecting, obtaining IP address then disconnects and keeps repeating this cycle. These are networks I have connected to before. I am on stock, debloated, deodexed, EBO1.
thanks,
I had the same problem on EB01, hasn't happened since updating to ED01.
+1 on not having this since my latest radio update.
It used to do it pretty regularly, and a reboot with WiFi on tended to correct the issue for a while. Perhaps that will help you too?
I've flashed roms like nobody's business. Never did just a radio. Is there a way to update just the radio?

Yep- I migjt try ec01 radio. It can be found in the development sticky with all the roms/kernels/etc. As always, flash it with odin.

In the past two weeks I have used Gingeritis, Bamf 2.0 and Gingerbean using the latest updated imoseyon kernel. I am currently using the latest Gingeritis with imoseyon 3.0.1 and the MR2 radio that was just leaked.
There is one lingering issue that is uniform throughout all updates and changes of roms/kernels/radios. Charging time/speed.
After a new Rom install, charging is just how it should be. Then, after a phone call the charging time becomes extremely slow or even sometimes stops at a certain percentage. The only way to fix this is a reboot.
Anyone able to explain what in the GB OS and/or kernels is causing this?

It was kind of harsh I'm sorry but it's talked about a lot in the rom threads
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
yep.. charging time is definitely an issue.. I wonder if it has anything to do with the kernel.
I must have been lucky then, because after i flashed the MR2 radio, all that BS went away. Now I have super fast charging and it goes to 100%
It is a slight hassle, but there is a fix for it right now. When your phone is plugged in and charging, restart it while keeping the cord in. It should charge normally after it restarts. I've had the same issue and this makes things act normal. However, you need to do this every time you charge, not just once.
Why aren't developers asking for help on fixing this?
Why's everyone so mum about the issue?
This is starting to drive me nuts.
I know you reboot to fix it but , what specificly is causing it??
I mean when you think about it. Wouldn't killing the process whatever it may be, that kicks in when you get a call fix it?
I have been having amazingly annoying wireless issues with cm7 on my dx2, to the point that I'm cutting into my data plan most times without me even knowing it. I want to flash cm7 again, but do I absolutely have to Sbf first, or at all?
I have a nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.4 pre cm7,can I just restore that and flash cm7 over it? If so should I do that knowing I have issues with cm7 from that? I didn't clear the big3 prior to flashing cm7 the first time but did per the steps in the beta thread, as will as a few times since.
So should I sbf, or restore and flash again?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
If you are having problems you should definitely sbf and wipe data. Start over fresh to make sure no fragments of previous mods are lingering around.
However, the wifi issue seems to be a problem in cm7 for some. I had it and installed wifi helper. It didn't fix the problem just reconnected wifi when it would drop. I assume that's what you mean by wireless issues. If so, you might try wifi fixer before sbf and wipe.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Thanks for that, many people have posted saying that didn't fix the wifi related issues, but I will indeed give wifi fixer a go first before sbf...
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
I have had similar issues with Wifi and radio/data connectivity. I believe that there are some further tweaks that need to be made but as I understand Dragonzkiller is not making any more adjustments to this ROM but rather focusing on CM9
However, I have found that booting into CWR and wiping cache and Dalvik Cache has improved things. The wifi issues will be ongoing but for me I rather live with that than stock.
I've been using an app that seems to work well as far as keeping wifi on. Before, I did change settings to having it never sleep. It did fix it. Maybe once or twice I noticed it shut off. But a lot less than before I made the changes. But anyway, I am using this app called llama-location profiles. It pretty much changes the state of your device based on location and other triggers. For instance, I have it set to turn wifi on when I get home and to leave it on as long as its connected to MY wifi or leave the area then it will turn wifi off. Since using this, I have not once had a problem with my wifi turning off. The app does a lot more than just that too so I recommend it regardless.

What's the resource usage inn that app? Strangely enough I gave up after wifi fixer as well as multiple sbf and flash didn't resolve. i flashed liberty instead, and zero Wifi problems. So not the device, not the environment, all that's left is configuration and software. I'm fairly certain I had it configured right, the no sleep policy didn't add much stability, appeared to just ignore it. Bah! I want to run cm7! :[

To get to Liberty or cm7 did you end up doing a fresh sbf to a clean stock 2.3.4?
If you did and then if you didn't add any additional apps for a bit, do you still see the wifi issue on a clean cm7?
I would think this should help you learn if a software program is causing the wifi to hiccup.

Yea I did end up doing sbf to 2.3.4 first then flashing to cm7. I didn't wait to install any apps on cm7, I suppose I could try it and report back. I'd feel better about it if liberty had the problem too but I'll rule it out.

There will be an update for CM coming it may fix your WIFI is its a complete rebuild from source and Im sure it will be a cleaner version then the last. Some things like that connectivity issues may be fixed.
I hope so, the morning after I flashed cm7 again it hung up and disabled my wifi network. No other apps installed. I have been watching the logs and it doesn't appear to do the same thing twice when it goes borton on me. for another release are you talking about cm9?

It's an issue that doesn't happen on stock, liberty, or now eclipse, but every way I flash cm7 it comes back immediately. what do you mean by full wipe? And trust me I have sbf'd enough times in enough different ways to truly call "sbf'd" a four letter word...
Just because it doesn't happen to everyone doesn't mean it's not a cm7 issue. To be fair I'm not _sure_ it is a cm7 issue but I'd like to prove it's not, and haven't had real good luck doing so.

I am truly sorry YOU went over your data plan....and by no means am I bashing you, I believe that dragonzkiller is dedicating his time to US, US, US.
I too have noticed my wifi turning off when I leave my phone for 5 minutes, but hey, look at the ROM....my God we have Cyanogen on our DX2...with a locked bootloader. I live a rushed lifestyle in a fast paced New Jersey, if I can deal with my patience I'm sure you can too.
