I have a rooted fascinate but cant seem to be able to get a rom. I am a complete dumbass who shouldnt be jacking with my phone but am sick of the bloatware and freezes. When i go to clockwork mod the color is blue with white. i am challenged so please be very specific thanks
You really need to start reading. There is plenty of information here in the forums, but if you try to get it spoon-fed, you'll end up frustrated because you don't really understand what you did.
Start here, go slowly, and follow directions. If you have specific questions, post them here (in Q&A).
I find it helpful to read ALL of the posts in a particular ROMs thread because even if I don't have a particular issue now, I might in the future. (Plus, if you come in asking questions that were just answered two pages ago - and every two pages before that - it just frustrates the people you are looking for help from.)

sorry i posted the way i did. I was very frustrated, i rooted my phone at a friends house and had no problems, when i got home and tried to get a rom it just doesnt seem to work on my computer. Sorry for posting the way i did. Thanks
No worries ... but really it is best if you dig in. As long as you follow directions carefully, things should go smoothly, and the more you do it, the more it makes sense. Perhaps you could post some details about what you've tried and where it has failed.
I found the search function here doesn't work that well. What works best for me is doing a google search. Usually it pulls up the xda thread I was looking for. Thats how I learned.

I would also like to know that. I run mine at 200 DPI but and thats a little too low for the full market access.
It also pisses me off when I post a question in the proper section and no one responds.
Then bump the post in the proper section. Don't knowingly and willfully break the rules.

whole lotta derpin goin on...
First: ask an intelligible question if you want a sufficient answer. I for one have no idea wtf the OP is asking exactly since he gave virtually no details.
Second: don't ask in development when you know you shouldn't! See first response....
Third: getting "pissed off" when no one answers is extremely lame and immature. Either no one knew the answer, or no one knew wtf you were talking about and didn't feel like playing 20 questions. See first response....

I bought the app LCD Density modder pro, it comes with a modifed play store that reports your LCD Density at 240dpi to the market.
This fixes the "App not compatible errors"
I've been flashing a lot of ICS roms lately and I was sick of booting ICS, running LCD modded, installing the modded files, rebooting... etc.. etc.. so I made myself a CWM zip file that I just flash right after I flash a rom.
Even tho it's a personal file, I gave LCD Density modded all the credit. Although I know of other sources the show you how to do the mods yourself. I don't know if I'm allow to post the CWM zip file here for you guys to download, or even if you do in fact want to download it.
So, if it's ok for me to post the file, can a mod let me know? Please and thanks. I will post it in the main form for others and let you guys know where it's too.
Thanks

Thank you for the response. I'll be sure to be more mature about my responses here. I wouldn't want anyone telling my 65 year old mother one me. I'd hate to have to explain all of that to her. I'll simply say puzzled from now on.

Sorry for not explaining it better (being the OP). It sounded very clear inside my head when typing.......and that is a problem I know!
When trying to download some apps in the Market (Crackle TV app for example) I get the error "this app is not compatible with your phone". There was a "trick" posted awhile back that by changing something in the build prop using a text editor that would make the market think I had a newer modeled phone and thus could get the apps to download.
I had run for months with the market thinking I had a Nexus I believe (again, sorry I can't remember what I had changed it to) for a long time with no issues, but these latest builds of ICS just aren't playing nice with the Play Store.
I truly thought it was a common thing people were doing with the fascinate in order to have full access to the market/play store. Thus, I just condensed my question thinking it was going to get multiple hits and a quick answer. My mistake there again.
Hi all
I recently signed up on XDA.Don't get me wrong,I'm an intermediate android user.
Anyhow,I'm using nobles smooth bean ROM,and when I run certain apps,there's a black static screen,continuous audio and then I have to close the app.I NEED a solution by Thursday,as I need the gtab good for a project ( App I'm using has the problem.)
Thanks in advance
Daveed2
You're going to need to tell us what the app is.
Secondly, putting deadlines on devs isn't going to help your case. If you need to do real work, get a fully supported device. Such is the nature of hacking - it's an imperfect art. If you can use an older rom, I would suggest doing that instead, as they are more stable.

I didnt mean anything,but I wanted a quick answer
Im using the base MX Media player and Quickoffice. (Side note,FIFA 12 experiences the issues too)
Welcome to the forums. First things first, questions go in the Q&A forum, I am sure a mod will move it but remember next time so you get faster response.
Same problem as yours:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966774
which leads me to 2nd point, SEARCH first. Not trying to be rude, trying to keep the mods from having to school you, and trying to help. when threads get clogged its harder to find good info. Please dont take any of this the wrong way, we really try to help around here.
I searched for my problem already and came up with that thread. Our problems arnt similar.His slows then cuts to a pitch black.Mine gives static then occasionally reboots.Yet sound isnt affected.I tried noble's advice and it didnt work,same problems,which lead me to post here.
I would suggest reinstalling from scratch, and by the book. I would also add the step of formatting /system just in case. I found that without that, my /system folder was maxed out, though it shouldn't be... don't know why that happened the first time.

I want to thank Nobe for his work. For the first time since Froyo (and in two years of using Android) I have an advanced version of Android on my Gtab that really works smoothly. I have been running it for nearly a week and have only seen one, maybe two slowdowns and they both cleared after a moment or two on their own.
Everything appears to work. While I haven't tried Bluetooth, I have no reason to believe I'll have issues.
Again, Nobe, thanks, I will click the "Thank You" button today.
Since I am a lurker but not a poster, XDA Forum does not allow me to post my question to the development folders. I have long history of rooting and putting custom ROM my phones. So, I can't say I am an expert but I am not a newbie either. So, to all developers, thank you for spending time and making these amazing ROMs.
I recently got a Galaxy Note i717 and immediately flashed with Padawan V8 after checking the forums. It is an amazing ROM. I have two small issues and I can't seem to find a resolution.
First one, there are no labels for the icons at the home screen. I could not figure out how I can put them back. As it seems it is not a featue of the rom, when look at the screenshots.
Second one, I have a screen PIN lock on the phone. When I receive the call, I answer it, but during the conversation, it goes on dark I can't seem to bring the screen back until other party hangs up.
Is it a known bug or did I mess something up with my phone?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
This is not a well known ROM?

To answer your first question, this is a VERY well known ROM, the answer to other question, about labels...there used to be a file in the goody bag that the Dev has for this ROM that adds those labels
See it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907203
Try looking in the thread for the Padawan V8 rom here on XDA under developer threads...hope this helps
btw...you can also simply change launchers to get labels.
Thank you. I will try there.

Hi all,
I am very fresh to this forum. Even though I got my account created in 2006 on this website I never used it.
All over the internet and the forums people mention about rooting the phones. I never really cared about rooting my phone out of the fear of bricking it. So I always put that option away. Now its serious time to learn it, as I am understanding the real benefits of it.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SGH -i717D which is from the carrier Telus in Canada. How do I start of with rooting on this device? What is the latest version of Android available for this device for rooting? Are the custom ROMS really flawless?
Somebody please kindly help me get rid of the starting trouble I have.
Thanks all.

This has got to be the easiest method of rooting. It's what I've used on a few different phones and has never failed me!
Custom roms vary in stability. If they are based on source code they are going to be more stable than others. They will say "built from official source". Other roms can be just as stable depending on the developer and how much effort was put into the rom. You have to read the threads on the roms to compare issues if any, then pick the one you want to try.
The best advice I can give you is before you install or flash anything you verify it's for your device, and read the instructions at LEAST twice!
Welcome to xda ... I suggest you first read the xda rules. This is the general forum. Not for questions. There is a Q &A forum to ask questions in ... After searching.

That link works basically for all i717's but the OP has a Canadian Note and it requires another step.

Admin, my intention isn't to hijack this thread. But I thought I'd ask prior to starting a new thread since I having the same concern, and before I get flamed. Please let me know which approach would be suitable to ask more questions while staying on topic.
I've been researching and reading tons of information everywhere. However I reached the conclusion that the more I read the more confusing it became. Whenever I thought I was ready to take the plunge, It's so overwhelming even figuring out what's current or what's outdated methods and files needed - I simply can't catch up without direct assistance.
OP: Thanks so much for starting this thread. For me, being a long time Android OS lover, yet entirely newbie when it comes to rooting jargons - I couldn't have said it any better - you took the words right out of my mouth!!!... The only tiny difference is that I have the SGH -i717R (Rogers).

Hi Lousk,
I know its really hard for a newbie to even think of where to start when it comes to rooting, because there are tons of information on rooting all over the internet and moreover confusion too. I learned it the hard way and I am glad to say now that I came out with flying colors. As with each official update, my device was getting totally sluggish, non responsive and out of all very little battery life. I couldn't stand this at all, one evening I sat on the internet, took the whole night before starting to do on anything with my device.
I didn't install any custom roms, but I rooted it which in turn helped me turn off a lot of services running in the background and also uninstall all the Samsung bloats, mainly the touchwiz. That thing is really resource hungry. Now my device is working at lightning speed and I have a feeling that it wont be obsolete in another 10 years.
I have all the files and also the instructions on rooting on my drive, unfortunately XDA is not allowing me to paste the link over here unless I have made 10 posts. They say it is just to prevent spams. If you are willing to give me your email id I can sent the link to you.
Go ahead and root your device to get the full potential of your unit.
Good luck,
Sumesh
