Thread moved here: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...genMod-7-for-Samsung-Fascinate-(fascinatemtd) - I'm not checking on this one any more.
This thread is reserved for nightly builds of CyanogenMod Rom for Samsung Fascinate.
All Samsung Roms run on top of BML/RFS, CyanogenMod 7 does NOT.
It runs on MTD/yaffs2 (like Nexus One) which means you'll not able to flash just any kernel or run just any other filesystem you want. Use it as it is if possible, otherwise confirm with the kernel developer that you are trying to install whether it would work with CM. We do not support other kernels and know nothing about their capabilities or compatibility. Only the data partition, which is on movinand, is ext4 like on speedmod or voodoo ("lagfix"). No "lagfix" is necessary because this does not use any Samsung proprietary file systems.
CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
Code:
** These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.
**
** Please refrain from submitting bug reports for any issues
** you may encounter while running one of these builds.
**
** Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading
** cause of male impotence.
What are Nightly builds? Auto compiled build of the latest CyanogenMod source from github. This version changes each night and aren't officially supported.
If you find bugs/issues you can/must discuss here (do not submit nightlies bugs on CyanogenMod issue tracker).
Warning : Not for new users, flash this build only if you know what you are doing!!! Make SURE you can get into Download mode using only buttons (no other method, Download mode from just buttons is essential).
INSTRUCTIONS:
Latest version: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=fascinatemtd (for when nightlies are working normally)
Check the md5sum if you want to be sure that the download worked (different OSes have different programs that do md5, on ubuntu it is md5sum that you run against the zip you download and compare to the md5sum number shown on the download website). ROMManager does this automatically for ROMs you download via ROMManager.
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Fascinate (or coming from another ROM)?
Start with a rooted device (do not ask us how to do this).
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery attached to this post.
Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Wipe Data! Seriously! Do it!
Install the ROM zip from sdcard
Install gapps package linked below.
- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
ROM Manager method:
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Fascinate (MTD). Then pick ClockwordMod 3.x.
Choose Download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
NOTE: Nightlies are NOT currently available from Rom Manager, but should be soon. Every time someone asks "when?" it makes the demons break the build-bot adding several more chunks of time you will have to wait. Nothing pisses off the demon's like stupid f*cking ETA questions.
Clockwork Mod method:
Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Install the ROM zip from sdcard (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps. After flashing the rom, don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it. ROM Manager will allow you to flash it if you just go into it and after flashing the ClockworkMod recovery for Fascinate (MTD), choose Download ROMs, and pick Google Apps. Or download and push the gapps zip for CM7 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps to the sdcard and flash it via ClockworkMod recovery.
- Going to another ROM from CM7?
You must flash a full Odin package with PIT, and make sure to check "repartition". This will convert your filesystems back to BML/RFS. You will now need to re-root your device, install recovery, etc to flash other ROMs. Do not ask here how to do this.
Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.

Thank you to EVERYONE involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging and documenting! Enjoy!
At this time (07/28) there are a few changes of mine that have not yet been merged into the main CyanogenMod codebase. This mainly includes fixes for MMS. As such MMS will not currently work on the nightly builds until the change is approved and merged. Also, the 2.3.5 merge inadvertently removed the fix for signal strength display, so signal bars will also show 0 for now. These issues should be resolved soon enough.
Also, any bugs pertaining to my original builds (low in-call volume, etc) are not going to magically be fixed just because nightly builds are being done. ALL NIGHTLY BUILDS MEANS IS YOU GET A NEW BUILD EVERY NIGHT. No hardware specific issues are magically fixed by this. Also, I am not planning on messing with any volume related issues until we have GB kernel source code. DON'T ASK. I CANNOT POSSIBLY EXPRESS HOW ANNOYING IT IS TO SEE IT ASKED EVERY OTHER POST.
Also, only kernels built from the official source tree will be included in these builds. Only minor differences because of this, such as BLN and dock audio will not function. I plan on making some custom kernels with these features and other changes soon.
****************************
If you would like to dig into the code, you may find information on the CM wiki here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Fascinate:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)
Kernel source is available here: https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_aries
If you do your own builds, PLEASE do not post them in this thread, and do not discuss them here. These threads get cluttered enough as is, please don't add extra confusion for me to dig through. No one is discouraged from building or sharing their builds, please do so in another thread/forum/whatever. Thanks.
Thanks for this JT. Fantastic tutorial that you put together. Glad to hear ROM manager will be up and running to.
Thanks again.
Neat quirk. The newest CM7 Nightly (#3) is listed as Android version 2.3.5
Not sure how accurate it is, but that's what's listed.

Will I still need to download and flash gapps separately? If so, where can I obtain those, and will it need to be a specifically Fascinate package?

Ah, you're correct. He's just letting you know that you need to be able to get into download mode when your phone has gone into a boot loop. Holding volume down while putting inserting the USB cable will take you to said download mode.

That is the recovery not download mode. Download mode is when you need to ODIN. Hold volume down and plug into USB for getting into download mode.
I thought that is what he was saying, but, making certain before I began. Thank you.

cause 3.x is the one that you flash from ODIN first, then install this ROM. Then it gets "upgraded" via the bundled kernel with this ROM. yeah the signal bar thing kinda freaked me out. i also couldn't get MMS to send. but i came from the previous build and didn't wipe anything except dalvik. just wanted to try it... i'll do a full wipe and install tonight. I'm so freaking stoked we finally have a mainlined CM7 rom!!! Coming from a Droid 2 previously and being teased by my Droid 1 before that, it feels like this phone has finally arrived.
This seems to have killed my wifi. I'll retry and repost if I get a chance.

So I did some experimenting. Following the OP I flashed the cwm in ROM manager, booted to recovery via ROM manager and got orange 4.x. I then flashed CM7 again booted to recovery from ROM manager and got blue 4.x. Looks like ROM manager will use whatever recovery you have installed after you initially flash the included one.

Sounds like you're already on aosp. In that case there's no need to downgrade your recovery. Just use the one you already have to flash the nightly.

Yesterday i installed Kaosgingerbread rom to my eris and it worked sucessfully...but i found out that all of my apps are gone EVEN MY APP MARKET the only app i have is superuser so now there is no market to get rom manager.! WHAT DO I DO?! i need help asap please if you are reading this help me an and if anyone knows what to do reply or something!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much//// o yea and also my messeging works but when i try to add a gmail account it wont load successfully to..
You need to find the appropriate gapps zip file and flash it along with the new ROM to get market back. Flashing a new ROM will almost always delete everything on the phone.
OK i am kind of new to this sorrry for being a pain in the butt but can you explain it more because i really like the rom and all but besides the fact that i dont have the marketplace it sucks...so if its possible can you explain step by step and if not would it be possible to contact you through something like xbox or maybe email?

Most, but not all of the time anymore when you flash new ROMs you have to flash the GAPPs (Google Apps) package immediately after flashing the ROM, before you reboot into the ROM. Otherwise things like Market and GMail aren't there and you have a crippled phone.
You have to start over from scratch from recovery doing a factory reset/data and cache wipe and then flash the ROM and then the GAPPs.
Enjoy!!!

Not really true. When i flashed my rom I reboot to homescreen, then flash gapps from recovery. No need to reflash the rom.

AFAIK, this advise given by most of the devs in their ROM threads was based on some reports, from time to time, that people who hadn't flashed the GAPPs before booting the ROM, and flashing it after caused their phones to not behave correctly. Flashing it immediately eliminates any possibility that someone might have a problem with that particular part of it, so it's wiser to be cautious and just give the blanket advise to do it immediately than to chance that with some ROMs or some phones, problems might arise.
yea well.. anyone wanna post a tut. on how to do this or something

Download the gapps file from kaos thread. Place gapps zip along with the Rom zip to the root of your sd card. Reboot into recovery. Wipe/factory reset. Wipe dalvik. Flash Rom. Flash gapps. Reboot. Enoy.
That is very true. You'll get the jist of things when u flash roms more often
wait i havent done anything yet but is there a way to restore my phone just back to factory settings?

Reboot both devices (with the phone unplugged from the computer to start with) and try again. Also, you can mount the SD card via USB directly from Amon RA or Clockwork Mod Recovery. Something like Mount USB-MS in Amon. In Clockwork Mod, it's in the partitions menu.
I am running the latest cm9 nightly. If I boot into recovery by using the power button reboot option, I get cwm 5.5.0.4 (from Entropy's DD kernel when I was on UnNamed). If I boot into recovery from rom manager, I get version 5.8.1.8. So apparently I have two different versions of cwm installed on my i777. Is this normal? I cannot seem to update the older version by flashing a newer version over it.

I'll say it for everybody else - DON'T USE ROM MANAGER. I'm yelling on purpose because it's made clear across the i777 forums that ROM Manager is worthless on the i777 unless you want to rename a backup - and ES File Explorer will do that just fine. You can't update with it, you can't back up safely with it, you can't restore with it, and if you boot into recovery with it you WILL screw up the phone at some point.
Even if someone pipes up that "it works fine on CM9" I still won't believe it - it's just not built for this phone.

Apologies then, but if it's flawless, then I'd be curious how it's dual-booting recovery. Maybe the question should go in the CM9 thread? Or just put it somewhere Entropy will notice - I'll bet he knows.

Yeah I'd ask Entropy for sure, he is the kernel master. The only thing I can think of why it is dual booting like that is, it is injecting it's own recovery that is associated with the app. SO when he boots through rom manager it gives him one recovery whereas booting using the button method gives him the cwm associated with the kernel. But as for working flawless, for CM9 you can download the newest nightly's, boot into recovery and flash all through the app.
Yes, I am sure Entropy knows why. I hope he or anyone who knows the topic notices this thread and shed some light on it.

Somehow, and I'm not sure why, RM is able to inject its own recovery.
This would be the first time in my entire history that it didn't inject a broken one.
Introduction:
This is a pure AOSP built ROM. Nothing has been added to it but for root, busybox, zipalign and kernel that is not secure for ADB . This is for the user who wants a pure vanilla Android experience. I will be back with my AOSP+ Neapolitan ROMs soon which add a few more options.
GApps are NOT included. You can download GApps below.

Thanks for your work OP.
Thanks a lot, giving this a go right now.
Loaded this without any problems. I've got 4.1.2 and build jz054k. I did have one issue of my own doing. The first time I loaded it I did not wipe data and on reboot I was stuck on the "android" screen. After about 10 minutes I did a complete wipe and then loaded it again and it booted right up.
Not sure if this was an improvement in the build but gps locked on immediately as soon as I loaded up google maps. I don't remember it being that fast before. I mean, it was fast before but it might have taken 5 seconds or so to get a lock. And landscape mode is pretty cool.
Thanks for this.

Maybe i am confused, but why did you put this rom in the original section?
So, I ran into a problem. And now I can't get my Nexus 7 to load past the black and whit Google screen when you first power it on.
I was running the stock out of the box 4.1.1 JB that was rooted. I updated my ROM Manager and did a backup, then rebooted, and wiped the Davlik Cache and flashed. After about 30 seconds into the flash ROM Manager received and error and wanted to know if i wanted to reboot. So I did and now i'm stuck. Any suggestions or how i can get it into the correct recovery?
I can get to fast boot, (power and down volume) but when I choose Boot recovery or any option other than power off I just get back to the White Google on black background.
Fixing the Google Now crashing problem too and will have updated ROM with the latest binaries up in a couple of hours.
Updated ROM has been posted.
GApps are no longer included and can be downloaded from first post.

CyanogenMod installer is coming out soon, and apparently it's going to be compatible with this phone right out of the gate (since it uses download mode and already has an unlocked bootloader)
I did try to use ROM Manager but my install of CM10.1 was pretty much borked after using it. Results may vary, but if you really can't use a computer, download ROM Manager and get the newest CM10.1 build for your phone from get.cm. Flash it through there. It is strongly recommended to use a computer though, since ROM Manager uses an outdated version of ClockworkMod Recovery that may or may not work.

I'm using Beanstalk on my phone and I get a lot of random reboots. Mostly when I'm unlocking the phone. I press the button and the soft keys light up the phone freezes and 5 or so seconds later it reboots. It also happens during calls sometimes when I take the phone away from my face and the screen turns on and sometimes when I'm listening to music. It's also happened a few times while I was using the phone. I don't restore any data(unless you count the apps that automatically reinstall from the playstore when I boot the phone, and a few apks from blackmart) I've tried reflashing but that was only a temporary fix. I always have problems with roms being really buggy even though I always to clean flashes.
Can someone help me to fix this? I use this device to play music over a sound system for crowds of people so I really need this bug fixed. (preferably without reflashing but I will if need be.)

I flashed twrp with odin and now I can't flash most roms. (I managed to get an old cyanogenmod 10.1 to work). Not even my backup of my stock will work. I tried switching back to cwm but I get the same problems. sometimes it say they are invalid sometimes it say they aren't for my device(These are all roms I've flashed before). I've even tried new roms. Please Help Quickly!

Have you vot the right TWRP? One wont work on KK
If you are getting a status 7, your recovery needs updating.
Are you formatting your system?

This is the one that works for KK
[TWRP_Recovery_2.7.0.0][Unofficial][quincyatt]
Alright i managed to fix the damage but i'm back to beanstalk with cwm. (i had to go through cyanogenmod and put it on using rom manager)
I'm still getting the bugs though(as far as I can tell. I've had one reboot already)
CWM is now functioning normally.
You mentioned a kernel? How would I go about that? I'm still relatively new to rooted devices. So please provide a detailed step-by-step information if you can.

you can go to the Original Development thread and find the thread for the Uber kernel. pay attention cause one is for JB and the other for KK. whichever Beanstalk your running get the right kernel.
you will flash it just like you flash a rom, or more like you would flash the gapps. you don't have to start over flashing rom again, you are just flashing the kernel to it.
the reboots sound a bit off to me as if you are flashing completely clean, KK is very stable for me and most others. maybe try flashing rom twice as you can get 2 different reactions on 2 different flashes.
flash rom
flash rom again
gapps
boot and wait
reboot
go back and flash your kernel
make sure you get all your wipes in middle of all this.

I followed your instruction with the kernel(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326786) Had to download it directly to my phone. It didn't like it from my laptop.
Successfully installed.
I'll let you guys know if my problem continues,

You are not using twrp from the thread linked. Also do NOT use the twrp app for the recovery as my recovery is not found there. It can only be found in my thread. Flash it in recovery & you're good to go.

I'm using Beanstalk on my phone and I get a lot of random reboots. Mostly when I'm unlocking the phone. I press the button and the soft keys light up the phone freezes and 5 or so seconds later it reboots. It also happens during calls sometimes when I take the phone away from my face and the screen turns on and sometimes when I'm listening to music. It's also happened a few times while I was using the phone. I don't restore any data(unless you count the apps that automatically reinstall from the playstore when I boot the phone, and a few apks from blackmart) I've tried reflashing but that was only a temporary fix. I always have problems with roms being really buggy even though I always to clean flashes.
Can someone help me to fix this? I use this device to play music over a sound system for crowds of people so I really need this bug fixed. (preferably without reflashing but I will if need be.)

If you are using Beanstalk you should probably read the BeanStalk thread, both of these common problems (screen flicker and failure to wake) are solved with a Aroma package made by p0llution. You flash it in recovery and all is good. Link is in 1st post, right next to ROM link. You can also switch kernels and boot animations with same package.

Would I need to reflash the ROM to ally another kernel?

As instructed, you need to do some reading. In my last post I gave you instructions on how to add kernel.
Help yourself first, then others will be more than happy to assist.

I'll give you some slack 'cause I am still close enough to my first flash that I remember being full of questions, but at least read the OP and most recent pages in your ROM thread. You should skim through it all ideally but some are 100+ pages so....
Kernel switching in general does not require any ROM action, there are likely cases that it might be useful but I've never had a problem. You will need to ensure that the kernel is matched to your ROM; KitKat or Jellybean or whatever. I usually do it as I flash a ROM but I have gone back and installed a kernel on a running ROM plenty of times; Uber for instance was released after I had BeanStalk up and running, it is a good kernel so I switched to that.
As a more general point the Note is hard to brick, as long as you don't somehow mess up the recovery (CWM or TWRP) you are just a quick restore away from back to normal. Use the backup function in your recovery, it is your friend and savior. Keep a copy of the back-up on your PC (or Mac) and you will usually be golden.

If you are on BS Rom you should know that all you need to to know is on the OP post-the rom and the patch. The latter contains about 5 different kernels which you can switch betw. to your hearts content. The patch is n00bie proof to make your switches. Really hit BS OP.

Just like all the other kind gents adv'd, it's all in patch's OP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535857
Including polluti0n's patches thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50529734&postcount=854
He uses aroma installer, so when you flash it (personally, I did it with CWM) you don't need to wipe cache/dalvik nor wipe phone, he mentons this on patch's thread while answering questions I believe. The screenshots show you some differences between the kernels he has available, either CM, Uber or PAC.
Personally, I'm using PAC since for me it seemed to work better with the Xposed's Netflix workaround, whereas it didn't work that well with Uber.
Also, the patch provides fixes, for camera, screen flicker and such.. Give it a try, and you'll definitely love your phone more!
