Finally,
The moment all of you have been waiting for. DL09 has been officially released. Well, by us anyway.
What does it fix? I have no idea!
I extracted it, and:
-Doedexed
-Zipaligned
-De-Binged (save browser default search)
-De-bloated
-Includes busybox 1.19 compiled by me, that can ping by FQDN.
-Rooted, of course.
I also edited the sound when you touch the screeen. If you don't like it, the old copy can be reverted back. Its in system/media/audio/ui. Attached is a cwm patch to revert to the old sound. Takes like 5 seconds to run, tops.
Note:
-Maps is not included, it must be downloaded from the market.
Is it an official update? No. Will it ever see the light of day? Quite possibly. Will it void your warranty? Definitely. Is it worth it? Maybe.
You need to be rooted to install this update and have access to clockworkmod. Data wipe is essential. Voodoo needs to be REMOVED PROPERLY prior to installing this update. All parts should be installed, or things will stop working...such as haptic feedback, and sms. DJ05 and DL09 radios appear to be interchangeable, but heavy testing has not been conducted.
There are three parts.
Radio:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09modem.tar
This gets flashed via Odin, in the PDA section.
System/rom:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09_2.zip
Mirrors:
www.eleazar.org/Adrynalyne/DL09_2.zip
http://www.4shared.com/file/gNKnCuua/DL09_2.html
Torrent Mirror:
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6077375
This gets flashed via clockwork.
Kernel:
Non-voodoo
http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/1230_NON_voodoo.zip
Voodoo:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/1230_Voodoo.zip
Note- Both of these kernels are similar to my previous test kernels, except they include boot animations. They are undervolted, and based of of jt1134's source on github. DJ05 kernels will work fine for DL09, but you should supply your own boot animation if you do not use one of the above. The stock boot animation does not work very well.
https://github.com/adrynalyne
These get flashed via clockwork.
Thats it. For those who want the unclean, dirty, and sucky experience of full stock: http://gunsforgeeks.com/Fascinate/DL09_stock.zip
Bloated, rooted, odexed, and has busybox.
Some notes:
Do not flash anything made for DI01 or DJ05 with DL09. You are asking for stupid things to happen.
DO flash stuff made for DL09, if you can find it.
This is not froyo, its 2.1, but a bugfix to hold us over.
No warranty given, implied, or anything else. You are on your own!
I apologize if glitches are found, not a lot of testing was conducted.
Thanks:
All the devs on IRC, and the original leaker, god rest his soul (we buried his bones after picking him clean after the DJ05 leak).
Do you prefer this over the DJ05?
Lame now i will lose all my stuff again
Thanks!

I figured that would be an option. I just thought maybe there was a workaround for the stock browser.
There are two other browsers that you can flash over your original browsers... Search them in the dev forum.
This isnt the aosp build is it?

For anyone who is going to ask:

To everyone wonder, he did fix the audio popping as well.
Awesome job Geeknik, quick question:
If we wanted to get back to stock, how would we go about that? Is there a kernel removal method? Flash stock kernel? If so, where can I find the stock kernel? Thanks and sorry for the trouble.
Does any one know why, I just flashed 1.76 and now maps fc. Also what to do about it?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Try uninstalling and installing again maps.apk?
I'm having GPS issues on 1.76, even after 5 minutes of standing outside in a open area the GPS will never fully lock. My GPS locks within seconds when using 1.54 so it is def something going on with the 1.76 kernel. Let me know if I can help you debug this further.

Ok, so we can just flash the kernel without wiping? Do we need DJ05?
After we flash, can we still do Nandroid and restore Nandroid?
How easy is it to remove the kernel and would it require wiping?
I've heard nothing but good things about these kernels...really eager to try one out and finally improve battery life.

I dont think you NEED dj05, but that is the biggest improvement for battery life I have found. The 1.54 and 1.76 kernels were made for dj05 and im sure work best with it. The first one is for di01 and should not be used if you have dj05. But stupid fast is stupid fast and thank you geeknik for your work. As far as wiping, I think it is a good idea to wipe everytime some times twice to get rid of the klinging on things.

If you use a dj05 kernel with a di01 rom, you'll lose haptic.

Hey Guys, just finished playing around with the kitchen and made a simple modification to the default espresso ROM. Unlike other Roms, this ROM does not have a lots of kernel level modifications, and lots of changes. But this ROM is just the default Rom that came with your shipped myTouch 3G Slide, except that this ROM does not have all the bloat-ware that make your phone slow and laggy. The followings features are included:
Features
======
Espresso UI
Busy-box
Rooted
SuperUser
NANO Editor
Deodexed APK Files
100% Stable (Think of it as your default rom)
Nothing that does not work.
Flash player
Cool Boot animation (Who likes that crappy tmobile boot animation? )
Eclair (2.1) [Tried Everything To Use Froyo And Make It Stable, No Luck, But I Don't Think There Is A Lots Of Stuffs Missing In Eclair)
Some Other Stuff
Removed Stuff
==========
All Crapware
HTC PDF Reader (Use Adobe Reader From Market)
HTC Twitter Client
Stocks
Stocks Widget
Tmobile Visual Voicemail (Get It From Market If Needed)
Tmobile My Account (Same as above)
Amazon MP3
AppPack Tmobile
All other crapware that makes your phone laggy.
As far as i know, there is nothing that doesn't work (Played it with for few days to see if something is wrong). Proximity sensor, wifi, bluetooth, keyboard, all the keys, touch screen, and almost everything works perfectly. Please let me know if something doesnt work.
How to install
=========
First root your phone using this method or this method.
Then put the zip file in your sd card and go to clockwork recovery. Then just install the zip file as you would do with every other rom.
If you dont get what i am saying, check this.
Please let me know if something does not work. THanks
[I am not an android developer,just a simple guy [and a bit of java programmer] ]
I dont think Tmobile is going to give us Froyo within this Dec 15th as rumored by a lots of sites. But for now, lets stay happy with eclair and lets hope they will send the updates soon.
Download ROM
GUYS, PLEASE DONT DOWNLOAD OR LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS ROM BECAUSE THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE A ROM THAT EVERYONE SHOULD USE, I MADE IT FOR MY OWN PERSONAL USE AND JUST WANTED TO SHARE HERE SO THAT AT LEAST SOMEONE MIGHT BE SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. MODS --> IF YOU THINK THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE OR SHOULD NOT BE HERE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE THIS THREAD IN THRASH FORUM (DELETED)

That's not an OTA rom...
THIS is an OTA rom.
OTA brought the retail system (1.27.531) to 1.35.531 and updated the radio as well. If you're linking me to the correct Espresso zip that you used, you've based you rom on outdated system software.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Has someone flashed this that can check their About this Phone section of settings to see which system version this is?

That is the latest we can use, because the latest ota does not allow flashing unsigned packages, so even clockworkmod wont work there. but you can always install the rom first and install the update.zip for the new ota (that is if you find one) . good luck

Fast and functional. I'm thankful for a new rom to use. Outdated is not an issue. I still load donut on people's G1's when they want stable root. Either way thanks for contributing....I could live without the negative comments.

Pointing out that the starting-point of this rom is outdated and potentially buggy is hardly a negative comment. It's a statement of fact that isn't mentioned anywhere in the first post. People should be aware of what they are flashing.
Improvements included with this update are as follows:
1. Battery Life:
Updates to the T-Mobile online contact backup connection, which will improve battery life.
2. Wi-Fi:
Ability to send MMS messages when connected to Wi-Fi.
3. Genius Button improvements:
Ability to turn GPS on and off using your voice, such as “Turn GPS on.”
Will announce Caller ID for incoming voice calls and allow you to “Answer” or “Ignore” using your voice.
Will announce incoming text messages and allow you to “reply” with dictation.
4. Faves Gallery improvements:
The Faves icon will be displayed beside notifications that appear while the device is locked to indicate that the communication is coming from one of your Faves.
Fave photo display speed will be enhanced.
General stability will be improved, including more seamless scrolling and consistent display of photos

I never odin back and have never had issues. You can just flash over it. If there are a lot of bugs you can flash or odin back to stock and then flash the new Rom. Just be sure to disable voodoo if you go back to stock. Also, make sure any time you flash a new Rom to let it sit for 10 min then reboot to eliminate bugs and smooth it out. Hope this helps.

+1 except for the never Odin back part. Not that DCrozier28 is wrong but I always do it. The developers will usually tell you if it's necessary or not. For the most part dev to dev is pretty safe but for instance V5 was written purely based on KA5 so it might have some bugs flashing over V3 which was designed before KA5 was released.
To some Odin is an unnecessary step to me it's more peace of mind and an extra 5 minutes.
I have also found I have WAY more success to on the letting the ROM sit after 1st boot then reboot. Some roms and phones don't immediately load and situate everything, a good 10-15 minutes then reboot ensures everything is where it needs to be before you start loading stuff back up.
I had this same question, glad I found this post.
Also whats the best way to backup sms? I am just assuming use titanium and then restore once the new rom is there?
One thing I missed about my Touch Pro 2 was microsoft my phone. It was a easy backup and sync. I am still fairly new to android but there has got to be something similar.

Like post above it could be Rom specific. Some debate may say to odin to stock but they will probably list it. I have flashed different roms over another with out ever odin to stock and never had an issue. Or at least issues that really bothered. Seems like its all about personal experience and opinion/preference.

It's been stated it's a matter of personal preference and opinion unless the developer states otherwise. I personally don't mind taking 5 extra minutes to do the to make sure everything is wiped. The above was just one of hundreds of reasons, I can pick another. I have also PERSONALLY flashed ROM over ROM and had issues. If you have not then you are the almighty among us and I worship thee and will build a golden shrine in your honor.
Every single ROM posted has a disclaimer about it messing up your phone. So in allll due respect to the truly talented developers; these ROM are consistently not perfect ports of official releases and cannot be confirmed as a perfect flash overs once they hit the masses.
My SUGGESTION to a nooby(no disrespect just a fact) person that wold even ask this question is to YES Odin back and start fresh. "Why?" because it will keep the forum cleaner since there will be less room for error and extra, "I flashed V5 over V3 and now I am in a boot loop" or "is my phone screwed???" threads...

every rom has a disclaimer so if you mess up your phone you realize it's not their fault (i.e. you probably did something wrong). it's not because they think their roms are going to break people's phones. the exception being oc kernels that explicitly say (and is obviously typically ignored) not all phones can handle the oc.
you can enjoy wasting your time using odin, but just because you probably messed something up flashing between roms, doesn't mean everyone should follow your silly odin ritual. as you have pretty much summed up, you have no real reason or evidence why someone should odin between roms.
again, all vibrant roms wipe, so odin 'back to stock' will do nothing for you. if someone can't be bothered to read the instructions on flashing a rom (i.e. disable all lagfixes), then they either shouldn't be flashing their phone, or may actually learn from their mistake.

awwww. how cute. you can't explain why you do something so you try to play it off with sarcasm.
lol...
but seriously, all jack assery aside, what exactly is it you think odining back to jfd does for you that formatting /data and /system don't?
No, u don't need to do anything, tw's said that if u go from nero to nero, you can, just flash right over it.
U don't even need to disable voodoo.
Also, listen to funeral, he knows more than that, blizzard guy

Theres nothing wrong with going odin to stock re-root then flash a rom. It may be a comfort level with some people. TO EACH HIS OWN! Don't be butthurt because someone doesnt do it YOUR way.
Thanks to Adrynalyn and his mystery source, we now have a new Froyo drop: EC01. No more bastardized hybrids, this is a pure EC01 rom, Deodexed, Debinged, and given the Blackhole overhaul.
Features:
Includes the latest EC01 mods by Sbrissen (No Full Batt popup, Reboot options, Clock Options, Acc Batt., 6 Lockscreens, Music controls, AOSP Phone answer)
Lockscreen is now changed through the "LockScreen Settings" application.
Standalone version includes Gallery, Music Player, Video Player, Browser, Calendar, Calculator, etc.
At this point I don't believe there will be any more Rom Manager releases, but I will be working on the ACS release as soon as I can find some time.
This is a Clockworkmod 2.x (green or red) flash, if you have Clockworkmod 3.x installed (orange) check out this link for an odin file to restore Red Cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=556634&d=1301538947
Still having some problems with the neverending bootloop if you wipe /data so DON'T! If you're coming from stock or Superclean, or an older Blackhole rom there is no need. If you're coming from AOSP you should be fine too. If you're coming from Kaosinate or MIUI then you'll probably need to flash or odin back to stock before flashing this, but I haven't tested. After this rom is flashed do not wipe /data.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Now that all that's out of the way, enjoy the release of Blackhole 4.4!

Cant wait, love your work!
That's what I wanted to hear!!! But, I need to know how to flash back to a previous version of CWM recovery via rom manager. I flashed the 3.0 before I knew the problems it would cause. What do I need to do to be able to snag Blackhole 4.3? Thanks for any help.

WHOA....I thought Blackhole was done. Been keeping an eye on the other forum and it was dead for almost a month.
Yeah, between my life and their host its been hard to find time for this, but I'm glad to be working on the fascinate again. As crappy as samsung is, at least they're not suing us (sony) or bricking our phones for using unauthorized software (3ds). As far as the clockwork revert, I'll have files and instructions in the linked post tomorrow.

It feels as though perhaps EB16 could be the last update for this phone. Do you think this phone will ever see Gingerbread? I haven't read this anywhere, just personal gut feeling. What is your take on this?

Awesome!! Thanks SOS3 for all that you do. We love your roms. Maybe a dumb question but is 4.3 gonna have adryn's new EB16 working voodoo as one of the choices for the kernel?

Ned a little more info.
Will this phone see Gingerbread from Samsung or the people that actually know how to program?
I think getting Froyo was a big step because it was sooooo much different than 2.1. Difference between 2.2 and higher arent as huge, and 2.2+ is based on 2.2, so chances are we'll get there someday, with or without the "official" label.

You do know kaos is on the verge of releasing what we all expect to be a stable version of gb right?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Hopefully there will be some really close version tracking since there's been such a flurry of software tweaks for this phone!!!
thanks devs for your efforts!! I was a blackhole fanatic when I rooted since the update portal was so easy!!
Sweet! I was wonder if 4.21 was the end of the line for Blackhole. Looking forward to your next release!
For those who aren't good at reading between the lines, sonofskywaker3 is trying to tell us that the Blackhole 4.3 rom is currently available for VIP members at the link in the OP.
Enjoy!
Thanks for a great rom!

Like chrisexv6 says, Official Gingerbread from Samsung? I doubt it. That being said if there ever is a Gingerbread Rom, official or not, based on the Touchwiz Framework I'll update Blackhole to it, However I have no plans to make a CM7 version, or an AOSP version, simply because I'm starting to have trouble finding time to work on things, and I don't want the current project to suffer like it did when I spent all my time trying to get a vibrant version working. I'm sticking with stock Rom Modification for the Fascinate.
However, Gingerbread Roms based on AOSP or CM will be available and stable because of the work of great devs like Kaos, JT, Adrynalyn, and others.

I am noticing that my signal strength is still as low as it would be with t-mobile as my service provider. Anyone know why these roms have worse antenna than the stock eb01 when we are using the same radio? I am a driver and my phone is dropping a lot of calls where it used to have full signal (like in my house). If anyone can help me fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Note:do not tell me to dial *228, I am not a noob.
My phone thinks its smarter than me
If you have the red voodoo recovery as well as the rom manager 3.0 (orange) then you can download the addons for this from rom manager then press cancel when it prompts you for the install. Manually reboot into the red recovery and select install .zip from sd card/choose .zip/clockworkmod/androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/fascinate/ then find the corresponding downloaded file such as boot animation or app or theme and manually flash each, one at a time.
note: you do not need to reboot and start over after flashing each individual file. Flash all the files you want then reboot.

So, I've collected pretty much all of the stock Odin files that have ever been posted here (or anywhere else) for the Fascinate and have downloaded them pretty much as soon as they were posted. Since most of these were posted on Multi-Upload, they are all pretty much gone now. So, I figured that since people may need them, I'd host them for users. If you need them, here they are. I'd also appreciate if you clicked the Donate button by my avatar to help pay for hosting as well if you download one or all of these.

Thanks! I was just looking into older stuff yesterday and wondering if any of these would pop up. DL09 is tempting if only for the battery life lol. Any chance you still have any of the older custom roms based on these? I particularly like RubikS, either 1.3 or 1.7...

I doubt it very seriously if they push any more otas for this phone, seeing as the last two had a lot of problems with peoples phones. I know I had to flash your version cause the ota sucked.

Thank a lot!
Maybe someone kept these roms EA28 update.zip and ED01 update.zip. I need them to do this solution
I just purchased a fascinate. Under the assumption it was for Verizon. During the activation (OTA) I got Metro PCS. Verizon says the MEID is clear and I just need to flash it back. Will any of there stock roms do that for me?

Thanks imnuts, your eh03 ROM saved my bacon yesterday, I had trashed my ROM. Thanks to you, Odin, and Titanium Backup, (or more specifically, those who wrote them) within 4 hours I had everything back. (nandroid failed me for some reason)
It's not much, but I donated - hope it helps.
Thanks friend
You saved my fascinate.
Hey thanks a lot for hosting these. Just a quick question, does the pit file go along with every one of the files or is it just for one or two specific ones?
Thanks again.

Just an FYI, if you use the PIT file make sure you check Re-Partition and check Phone Bootloader Update to update to GB bootloaders when using the EH03 package.
