Thanks so much for all the info and instructions. I have had my Fascinate for about 3 weeks now, and I had to try upgrading to froyo since i gave my D2 to the wife and was missing some of the features i have been accustomed to.
I am now rooted and running 2.9.1 thanks to all the help available on this forum. Here are my observations so far...
Overall i would say that this is very stable... no force closes since updating
phone- incoming and outgoing are clear and trouble free
SMS- both the standard SMS program and handcent seem to be working flawlessly (except that I have not been able to make Handcent the default program anymore.... get notifcations from both now)
rarely get MMS... so i am not sure if that works or not
still get lag when playing with some live wallpapers... but i believe that is the wallpaper not the system.
Bluetooth- on the positive side... it fixed the problem i was having playing music via my bluetooth headsets, and voice commands are working with bluetooth (one of the things i missed from the D2 running 2.2)
on the negative side... the bluetooth range has been cut almost in half. Before installing the new rom I could walk at least 30 ft from the phone during a call with no interference.... now i barely make it 10 feet sometimes b4 losing connection.
Auto-rotate - seems to be much more sensitve and this is very frustrating... the screen rotates with the slightest movement of the phone and makes typing and other activities very difficult. Never noticed this b4 the upgrade.
widgets- that need to auto update seem to randomly do so, but mostly do not. YouTube, Weatherbug, Pulse, and Facebook do not seem to update until i manually tell them to. This was a problem before i rooted... but seems worse now.
GPS - still seems buggy... connects but only after a long long time.
Thats all for now
Thanks for the great work and advice
