[ROM][Repost][07/13/11][EC09] Comm ROM (UGB) 0.2.1 from TSM **

**Landshark** · 07-11-2011, 08:33 PM

Just like with the first Comm ROM repost thread, I reposting nitsuj17's Comm ROM thread over here at AC. I know some people here may not have an XDA account or have enough posts there yet to download or whatever. So here are the first six posts from the Comm ROM (Gingerbread version) 0.1 thread that contain the changelog, installation and bug reporting instructions, patches, etc. I removed the quotes that show these were all originally posted by nitsuj17 so it looks better and is easier to read, but he is the original author of these posts:

Original content can be found here:

***Updated 07/13, see below for changes***

***Warning: EC09 is notorious for either wiping/corrupting/destroying sdcards...in testing comrom was doing this to some folks as well..use a backup card, or just deal with the risk...dont cry to us about ur borked card!****

Presents
Ultimate Gingerbang 0.1
A Community Rom

***Welcome to Ultimate Gingerbang 0.1! This is an extension of the and .

*The op consists of several posts, in my attempt to better manage the rom going forward.

*So what is Com Rom/UGB then? Basically it was the next stage in adrynalyne's superclean roms which have been going since dl09 (and since dio1 through jt1134). Its a stripped down version of touchwiz (in this case EC09 gingerbread) with enhancements/mods/themes...basically more functionality.

Highlights:
*includes : see sbrissen's thread for specific mods added
*gingerbread themed (frameworks, sys ui, settings, dialer, phone, market, music, browser, contacts, camera..more to come)
*deodexed
*rooted with super user
*busybox
*advanced power options
*6th toggle added to status bar pulldown power controls (vibrate/sound)
*clean text on toggles (auto rotation to rotation, mobile data to data)
*launcher2
*pacman apk from cm included, on first market usage post wipe it will give you the option to select a few common apps rather than search the market for them
*latest gapps (including google +, and google car home instead of tw version)
*overscroll glow
*aosp weather/news, deskclock
*microbes lwp, and nexus lwp
*8 tab browser (i9000, from nameless)
*egl fix from nexus s (should fix blurry icons)
*market fingerprint for nexus s to fix apps not showing in market
*lots of tw/vzw removed (launcher, widgets, vzw apps, etc)
*crt screen off (must not turn animations all off in spare parts)
*system ui transparency enabled
*rfs kernel (optional): stable adb (wont show debugging/storage on boot with cord plugged in, but adb works), boot animation support

***SDCARD Stuff***
(This is only my opinion and may or may not help those with issues)
-i recommend properly mounting and unmounting your sdcard with each use...meaning dont just yank out the usb cord or reboot (recovery or otherwise) with the card mounted as a usb devices. Doesn't hurt anything to do this and *might* help keep your card intact.
-if you card gets borked (you see the blank sdcard/format message in android), first try and format in cwr, rather than in android or on your computer...fixed my card up, ymmv

FAQ
(will be updated as questions/issues arise as well)

Q: Who/What is TSM/TeamSbrissenMod
A: Short version: a few of from xda/irc who work on projects together and generally just hang out in irc a lot
A: Longer version: we started it as a joke (see the early @teamsbrissenmod tweets for an idea), but then bendbowden started making vanilla aosp mods and releasing under the TSM banner. In the lull between ec10 for the mez and EC01/ED01 Adrynalyne asked if a few of us wanted to team up for the next version of whatever rom he did post-superclean and TSM went from there. Its named after sbrissen, because hes ridiculously smart and talented...and deserves all the kudos you can give him.

Q: I'm on RCxx from testing...should I bother upgrading to 0.1? I don't want to wipe again!
A: I would, tsm parts has been updated and several apks changed.

Q: Why is there no voodoo?
A: since there is no source for ec09, voodoo has to be hacked into the stock kernel...its not an easy process and has yet to be done, but navenendrob is working on it.

Q: I don't like how you themed (insert app) or why did you use (insert app) instead of (insert app)!!!!!! WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!?!?!
A: Frankly you can't please everyone. Many of the theming decisions or using aosp apps instead of samsung or vice versa just came down to what we (or in theme case me) felt worked best with the rom. I doubt more than a handful of people would run the EXACT same setup (down to each individual apk) if they were given the choice. We try and accomodate people through patches as best we can.

Q: I hate ec09!!! Please tell me you will continue to be working on froyo versions!
A: Umm...well sorry :o ...at this time we are only planning on TW Gingerbread releases going forward...yes eco9 is buggy, but at least imo still good enough to be on (sdcard and usb debugging issues are a pita, i admit)

Q: How can I fix the fc on calendar notifications?
A: Go into calendar--settings--select default ringtone...and pick something other than the default one

Known Issues
*if you boot with usb plugged in, adb works, but debugging/usb storage wont show as available, unplug and replug ur connector
*ec09 eats sdcards
*MIUI lockscreen when plugged in will tend to run your processor at or near maximum mhz. (seems to do this on most phones)..you may choose not to use it when plugged in
*calendar fc on google cal apt ringtone notification (doesnt happen to everyone, see faq for fix)
*manage applications fc in settings

Instructions

***again ec09 eats sdcards...use a backup card if you can!!!

Installing Com Rom

Method A (coming from voodoo froyo or eclair)
1. download rom with kernel (or have a gb kernel on sdcard to flash)
2. move to your sdcard
3. boot into cwr and disable voodoo (if using a cwr w/o voodoo controls, must create disable-lagfix file and reboot once before going to cwr)
4. reboot to allow conversion
5. boot back into cwr
6. wipe data/cache/davlik cache (if you dont, expect issues...and also dont bother bug reporting..we wont help you!)
7. select install from sdcard
8. select rom .zip
9. reboot
10. wait 5+ minutes for phone to boot up (it takes awhile)
11. profit (or not if it bootloops)
* odin the cc09 radio if you havent already

Method B (flashing over stock rfs gb leak)
1. download rom w/ kernel
2. move rom to sdcard
3. boot into cwr
4. wipe data/cache/davlik cache (if you dont, expect issues...and also dont bother bug reporting..we wont help you!)
5. select install from sdcard
6. select rom .zip
7. reboot
8. wait 5+ minutes for phone to boot up (it takes awhile)
9. profit (or not if it bootloops)

Method C (flashing over ext4 gb kernel)
1. download rom sans kernel
2. move rom to sdcard
3. boot into cwr
4. wipe data/cache/davlik cache (if you dont, expect issues...and also dont bother bug reporting..we wont help you!)
5. select install from sdcard
6. select rom .zip
7. reboot
8. wait 5+ minutes for phone to boot up (it takes awhile)
9. profit (or not if it bootloops)
* odin the ec09 radio is you haven't already

Also, great article on why wiping anything in cwr (data/cache/davlik) more than once is pointless:

(I would go further to say dont flash **** from people who tell you to wipe data 3X Times...but im a jerk)

***ADB!!!!

for those that don't have the Android SDK installed (or know what it is) Adrynalyne <--- check it out!

For Reporting Issues:
(If you Do Not follow these instruction exactly, we will ignore your pleas for help!)

1) post your exact setup (version of com rom, kernel, voltage settings, any other mods you did flash)
2) did you wipe data/cache/davlik cache before flashing the rom
3) what rom/setup did you flash com rom over
4) what is your *specific* problem...not "omgz ma ****z be borked yo"...that helps no one and frankly is annoying to see...
5) ive said this 500 times already, but hey whats once more? POST AN ADB LOGCAT OF YOUR YOUR BOOTLOOP/FORCE CLOSE PROBLEMS/ETC...it aint hard

cd your adb folder

then

Code:

adb logcat > logcat.txt

-this creates a text file in your adb folder in the sdk (tools or platform-tools, w/e) post it in a pastebin and link the pastebin here or post it from dropbox or something

for the less sdk literate folks (and really im tempted to say if you dont have adb, dont flash stuff...but umm...i wont)

you can use terminal emulator on your phone to logcat (obviously not when booting to diagnose bootloops, but can help with force closes)

Code:

logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt

-this creates a file on your sdcard...copy it to your computer and pastebin/dropbox it

*scrollable widgets for launcher2 and homescreen looping
*theme support from tsm parts
*further ec09 fixes

**Landshark** · 07-11-2011, 08:37 PM

Reserved for themes

**sushiguy732** · 07-11-2011, 08:41 PM

I am VERY tempted but I was already burned once by EC09 and I will wait this time for others to report back. I don't even have my replacement 16GB card yet and can't afford to fry my 8Gb that came from my old BB Storm.

Looking forward to hearing great things about this! And thanks to everyone for all their efforts in making this happen!!

**jjcasillas15** · 07-12-2011, 01:43 AM

So tempted to flash this but my phone is running so great on CommRom 2.1... Gonna have to fight the temptation and just wait for all the kinks to be ironed out...

Great job BTW on everything you guys do for us "Fascinate people"

**woodyt74** · 07-12-2011, 10:56 AM

Getting the itch to flash but like jjcasillas15 my phone is running so good on CommRom 2.1 I'll wait for a stable version.

These guys are great and I can't thank them enough.

**AmanteNJ** · 07-12-2011, 12:07 PM

Still running stock here and battery life is amazing ... i will try this on my wife's phone after she falls sleep shhhhhh

**Sandnaround** · 07-12-2011, 02:03 PM

I installed this on Sunday with a spare SD card, works great,
no missed calls yet, some small problems but no big deal.
GPS didn't work at first but I got it working. Give it a try...
There's another patch out today

**adellc3** · 07-12-2011, 02:51 PM

I bit the bullet...Flashed the .1 and then .2 and automagically, my SD card borked.
It's okay though. I have a spare and a backup of all of my stuff on the computer.
Still trying to re-format and fix the first SD card, however. It's the stock 16GB. This spare is a 2GB. Booo.
Anyway, it's working pretty awesomely. TOTALLY noticed a good upgrade in reception. I now have one bar in my house. (sad woot woot.) Lol. No missed calls that I know of.

Looking very nice. Hopefully they work the little kinks out. Like the theme colors and whatnot. Lol. Can't wait for fancy Voodoo.

**joebob2000** · 07-12-2011, 04:01 PM

I dunno about the devs experience, but doing something like a logcat to the SD card and then doing an auto-mount to computer was one thing that toasted my SD card *every time*. You might want to advise people to use ADB commands to offload data whenever possible. (such as "adb pull /sdcard/logcat.txt .\logcat.txt") Back when I had this rom, adb xfers worked 100% of the time while mount/unmount as a disk to PC was begging for disaster.

So can I get netflix running with this? Seems to be working well on my phone so far but can't get netflix in the market......am I missing something?

Apparently the fascinate cannot get netflix from the market, I would imagine that may be due to the fact we do not have gingerbread officially. You have to sideload the netflix app. You should be able to find the apk if you do a google search.

**F34R** · 07-13-2011, 06:17 AM

LS, can I post a link to the Netflix apk? I'm mirroring it...

**wgilles** · 07-13-2011, 08:00 AM

Great work guys, however I'm going to wait until the SD card wipe issue is resolved, I already lost one 16 GB SD card due to this issue.

But once again, fantastic work!!!

Cool, found the apk over at XDA..... works great. The original one didnt, but it told me there was an update once installed, updated, and now it works great
