[Q] MIUI and GLitch Touchkey Issues - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched fairly thoroughly on this and have yet to see even one post. I am on MIUI 1.10.28.1 and *trying* Glitch v.12. (although I did try with older versions of both to no avail). My touchkeys become completely non-functional upon install of the Glitch kernal with MIUI. If I leave it with the stock kernal---no issues. But I know the Glitch runs much more efficient and want to use that one.
Has anyone had this problem occur? Just to note, I'm not talking about BLN, but total functionality. Makes it a real pain to use your phone of you cant go back a screen.

did you wipe cache and dalvik in cwm before flashing glitch?

On top of the cache wipes, I also use Kernel Cleaner script, before flashing.
I'm using JTs 1016 Kernel on Miui right now.

I have done BOTH of those to no avail. I am so confused by this...

If you can afford it, try the glitch kernel updater app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.glitch.updater
it will give you gltich v13 which fixed that issue.

MIUI/CM7 power usage issue/Kernel

I have had power drain issues on both of these roms
Essentially, I am using up the battery way too quickly. Thought if I flashed the Bali kernel that may help solve, but it will not flash. So here are my questions:
1. Trying to flash the Bali kernel it is hanging on the MIUI screen and will not continue. Is there something I need to do to make it flash or is there another UV kernel I can use if so, which ?
2. I left my phone unplugged last night to test the power drain and lost 40% while the phone is in idle (normal before was 5-10%). What is contributing to this ? the Gallery ? or what? any recommendations would be appreciated.
3. 2 more weeks and Ill have the Hercules but I still want to make this work ...
Need more information. A lot more information.
What ROM? MIUI, or Energy Revamped MIUI? What Version? Did you follow all the steps? Even the ones you didn't think mattered? Is this your first flash of MIUI? Did you start from stock? Did you start from Gingerbread? Did you do a wipe? Did you wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions? What version of Bali did you use? Did you try to use Bali with the latest MIUI (new kernel, not yet compatible)?
Etc etc etc. We need more information.

The 9-23-version which is why Bali is not working, it does not work on the latest version. I have loaded both cm7 and MIUI for months and this is the first that has had this issue. I have addressed everything I can think of I have nothing running in the back ground other than the the standard TSR programs(which until now) has never been an Issue. I have not customized anything to add to the drain. As for starting point, I had Odin back to stock then, flashed the bootloader per their directions, so none of that is an issue, Bali will not load even after a clean stock flash and the script cleaning kernel flash, so that is why I was asking,:
Is there something I need to know to do, consider this I have flashed MIUI and CM7 30 + times with no issue until this latest version, I am not a rookie, just wondering if there are few other thing ppl know that are unique to this setup.

[Q] All soft buttons stopped working on CM7

I installed Cyanogenmod 7 a week ago, and everything was pretty much working fine.
Randomly today, all 4 of the soft buttons stopped working in the middle of me using my phone. I believe I was checking scores on an NFL app. Regardless, reapplying the CM7 zip didn't fix it. I tried factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Nothing.
Decided to try to reroot. Reapplied ED05, which is what I did before I installed CM7. Got back to essentially factory... soft buttons still don't work. Reinstalled CM7... took, but soft buttons won't work.
I thought I read somewhere that this is an issue with gapps, but I can't seem to find that page or people discussing it again. Installing gapps again didn't work.
I'm willing to get my phone back to it's most basic level, and even erase the SD card if I need to, but not sure how to clear my phone moreso than my reverting back to ED05.
Thanks for your input guys.
Also, I had reinstalled my apps using Titanium, but not the app data. Again, everything was just fine for a week.
Also, having done a bunch of flashing and what not, I dont' know what happened, but now when I long press the power button, the menu comes up. When I try to use volume up/down to navigate to power off, all I get is volume going up and down
So, i know this thread is sort of dead, but this happened to my fascinate a while back with a version of CM7 mtd (55 maybe?)... I'm fairly convinced that the sensors for the buttons (and the lights for that matter) are completely shot, but I can't really test that. I have flashed back to stock, re-rooted it,and done everything I can think of to fix it.
You probably messed the phone up for good... my advice (if you haven't already done it): get a new phone.
I've noticed that when I revert back to stock ED05, and flash CM7 on top of that, it doesn't work right. minor to major glitches appear...
What i did was flash back to stock ED05, then ran the update to Gingerbread EH03... Then flashed CM7 with Glitch v13 kernel. seemed to fix a lot of my issues.
idk if this helps or it's just a flook, but just sayin...
Will try this out

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm having the same issues as the OP with failing soft keys after flashing through CM7 to an android 4.1 based ROM, Paranoid Android. Is the Glitch kernel built into Cyanogenmod 7 or did you load it separately?

If you are already on ICS just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash. If not just flash up to ICS and flash kernel with ROM (same cwm session). You may want to do some reading in that thread first to make sure you get right version for your ROM.

[Q] Flashing and Reflashing Kernels

I recently flashed KGB 12/2 with SC3 0.5 not realizing that 12/2 had issues. Anyway when KGB 12/12 got released I flashed that. It resolved all the slowdown problems.
This is the first kernel I have ever flashed. I just flashed the 12/12 kernel over the 12/2 kernel. Then I started to have internal memory issues. i.e. market apps wouldn't update due to low space on device.
I thought I found a solution after searching a while and thought it was because I flashed 12/12 over 12/2 without disabling lagfix. I then disabled lagfix, cleared both caches and then flashed 12/12.
Since I was unable to find a Q&A directly related to kernel flashing I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
What is the best way to flash the new kernel over an existing kernerl? Specifically regarding KGB kernels. I just used CWM but I feel like I should have used ODIN. Before I do anything further to mess this phone up I wanted to throw this out here.
Thanks in advance.
Kernel flashing is the same as flashing anyother zip. Wipe cache and dalvik then install zip from sd. If you are still having issues odin back to stock and start over. There also is a kernel cleaning script you can try before odining, but your best bet is to start over imo.
Ok...I installed the new kernel just like I would install any patch. I saw the kernel clearing script on a forum for another version of this device, but I'm assuming it will work. I'll give that a shot first. After all if it screws me up I'll be going back to stock anyway.
Thanks.
i switch kernels all the time but i do use a cleaning script every now and then just to be on the safe side. starting over would hurt a thing either.

CM7 Notification Front Buttons

Hi Everyone,
I recently put CM7 on my wife's Fascinate, and there is some strange behavior I'm not sure how to fix.
In a nutshell, whenever she has a notification, any notification, the front buttons light up until they're dismissed. I searched around in settings, but I can't find anyway to disable this "feature".
Is this a bug or is there a way to fix this behavior?
Thanks!
I had similar issues... my soft keys would light up for no reason at all... plus 3G connection problems as well... what I did was wipe all cache, Delvik, and factory reset.. then I flashed the kernel with Glitch v13. I've had no problems so far. Glitch fixes a lot of the stock CM7's kernel issues IMHO...
If you don't want to flash the kernel, try BLN Control app from the Market. a lot of ppl say it fixes issues like that. personally... i like the Glitch fix better.
I hope this helps you.
I'm a bit noobish with the Fascinate... it's my wife's phone.
What kernel would you recommend? Will I need to reinstall the ROM if I factory reset? Can I flash a kernel without blowing the ROM out?
if you're on CM7.1... I would highly recommend Glitch v13 kernel.
and I would, to be safe, wipe out all cache and factory reset first. then immediately flash glitch v13 before you reboot.
make sense?
no need to reflash the rom... unless you want to
Can I flash the Kernel via Clockwork Mod or do I need to use one of the tools on my PC?
http://androtransfer.com/tk-glitch/CM7-kernels/Glitch/Fascinate/
Assuming the one at the bottom?
Yes you must flash via clockworkmod recovery... whichever fits your phone.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
you need to odin cwm4 fixed for mtd(CM7), then 3 finger into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, install gitch v13.zip from sd.
-Boot up once, then reboot into recovery via long pressing the power button and selecting recovery.
-Find glitch menu in recovery, then select screenstate scaling, select conservative.
-Go back, then select configure leakage setting, start with medium leakage.
-reboot, then download voltage control from market.
-start with -50uv across the 100-1000mhz steps, 1200-1440mhz try -25uv. (this is a good starting point to undervolt). Your phone may handle more undervolts and overclocking, but you will have to tweak it from there. Most fascinates are not stable past 1440mhz.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 7.1 Galaxy SII?

I can't seem to find a stable release, yet a lot of youtube videos show people using it?
I've tried the nightly versions and for some reason it just hangs at the samsung load screen.
Anyone know what's happening with it? are we waiting on CM9+ICS instead of CM 7.1 now?

I've installed a couple of the nightlies and not had major issues. There were indeed bugs, which made me move on to other ROMs (among other reasons, including the fact that my old HD2 had CM7 and it got a bit old).
As far as my experience goes, the nightlies have been quite stable. As mentioned, there were bugs here and there, and a force close from time to time. But I didn't have the problem you've mentioned with hanging at install.
They did take a while to load the first time, longer than I remember was the case on my HD2. Did you wait long enough? Delvic/cache cleared?
EDIT: I also found a CM9 around New Years, but it wasn't as stable and had charging issues. But I think it's out and the waiting's over, really.
EDIT AGAIN: The other option would be to try out the official ICS release, which can be found at samfirmware.com. That's my plan for the weekend.
like the previous...Sounds like your flashing over existing roms without wiping everything first...From recovery mode after backing up, the best way I find is to wipe data/clear cache and wipe dalvic cache from advanced menu before flashing any roms...that way your starting with a clean slate and will be less conflictions from old to new.
for me CM7.1 not stable
I'm waiting a stable CM9 its promising
If you follow the instructions on how to install it, it's stable for everyone. I'm using it for many many months now, and it's stable.
If you're coming from other ROM's, make sure you do a FULL wipe, and flash the rom TWICE in a row, without rebooting recovery.
And yes, we're waiting for CM9. CM7 is not supported anymore for SGSII.
I cleared the data, the cache, went into advanced and cleared the dalvik cache.
Installed the nightly, which I thought was trange was only 100mb, normally ROM's are like 300mb.
I'll try flashing the ROM twice as TheSaw has said. However, after seeing that CM7 isn't supported, I may think twice, i'm just getting bored of the stock.
Might also be worth noting, i'm using [email protected] #k2-18 kernel.
Also, by the way Sean is here, did you know you've got a USA flag in your mini profile under your username? will the official release be a odin flash? or can I just use a .zip through CWM to flash it? and would I still be able to use the speedmod kernel with ICS?
Always working for me and thousands of others .
Usual story is wrong install .
jje
I managed to get this working, by installing the ROM once, and then installing it again straight after.
I was just wondering, is there a way to move the lock screen lock down to the bottom of the screen, i.e. above the unlock and camera buttons? and is there a way to change the clock?
