[ROM][5.07.2011][ED01]Community Rom V1.3

[Nikkorasu]

Visual Voicemail Installed on Community ROM v1.2

After installing this ROM I had very odd problems from very short battery life (5hrs), random system crashes/reboots, to writing to the SD card failing then freezing system. After doing allot of testing I hunted the problem down to the Voltage Control module. I never made any changes nor did I ever turn it on outside of just opening it once to see what it was. Because of this I'm thinking that on some systems it starts by default. Once I forced closed and cleared out all setting of the Voltage Control module my battery life has increased where I can get through nearly two days without having to recharge and the system crashes/reboots have stopped.
Based on the above, is there a way to completely remove this module? And also where can I find the Verizon Visual Voice Mail module? I've tried Google Voice but I find the Verizon module easier.

ClayR: I found a link here to the application installation... browse down to "Stock Samsung ED01 Apps." Under that you will find the Visual Voicemail Download link. Once downloaded all you have to do is use CwM to install it. Here's the steps I used to get it on my phone.

1. Save the zip file to the SD card in a location where it can be found.
2. Reboot in to CwM Recovery (my version is 2.5.1.x)
3. Perform a backup of your phone (just in case and strongly suggested)
4. Go down to install ZIP from SDcard
5. Choose zip from sdcard
6. Browse to file and choose yes to install it.
7. Reboot your phone and you're done.

After that I had Visual Voicemail reinstalled on my phone!

I will let you know that I'm no genius when it comes to flashing and have found out a lot of what I know through the school of hard knocks... so do this at your own risk. It worked for me, but I have no idea what will happen with everyone else's phone. Good luck!

The way that I the shut Voltage Control module off was by pressing menu (very left bottom button) from the home screen, then choosing manage apps, then choosing the "running" apps tab, scrolling down to find Voltage Control module, choosing force stop, then going over to the "All" tab, scolling down to find Voltage Control module, choosing clear all data (incase this is where restart on reboot is located, I do not know, just a precaution). Then restart phone. I would also advise going in to Clock Work and running a permissions fix as well.

This has solved 95% of the problems that I was having with the community 1.2 ROM. I'm not to sure why Voltage Control is included in the build since all I have read says not to over clock the Samsung Fascinate. I guess you can always under clock to save the battery . . but I've also read that unclocking screws with the GPS?

Also noticed while in a call, I noticed i vibration and then the soft key lights at the bottom started fluttering wildly during the call. When call ended, everything went back to normal. I did have the phone plugged in to the wall charger while on the call.

Thanks for the reply I was also able to find Visual Voice Mail in the App Market by searching under VZ instead of Verizon . . full name is VZ Visual Voice Mail. I wish Google Voice worked better but I think it needs to "season" a little longer to get the oddities out of it. I liked the transcribing of the voice messages although it hardly ever got it correct . . matter of fact it gave hallarious missread text version of the messages nearly all the time.

This post describes how to get Verizon Visual Voicemail also, it said that the version in the market was not as up to date but it may be now since this post is a couple months old.

You know, I tried to search for that in the market and it wouldn't come up. That was the reason for the hardcore app install...

 

[ClayR]

You are right! It does appear to be an older version of Visual Voice Mail, it seams to work fine though. It's kind of funny because it's very similar to the Google Voice interface. I think it might even be a modified version of it.

Not sure about this one...my guess is that it's probably a bug with EB01, or both, not just the actual application. Why are you reluctant to switch? Have you considered the stock ED01 ODIN package?

Sc is stable, but still built off a reject version of Froyo..ED01 is much better in my opinion, even if it's not the com rom.

I am reluctand because of all the little bugs that people seem to be having with the COMROM, here in this forum and over at XDA. Honestly, everything in SC works great for me, excep the darn voice search. I am voodooed, have great speed, great bettery life, I like the phone where is at.

 

[CaptnJim]

Is any one else having problems syncing all their corporate contacts on this from? I only get about 3/4 of my contacts to sync with the phone. If I switch to other roms I have no issues.

Yeah I'm having the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cool man..no pressure.if you like what you got, than please keep it!

but with that said, ..a lot of the "little bugs" with comm romm are mostly attributed to incorrect installs or bad downloads...not following the instructions as according to the dev on the op, can lead to problems..

I followed the directions to a T and I have had no "little bugs" at all..and in fact a lot of the bugs left over from 2.9.2 are fixed, i.e. Flash not working on some websites, like cnet.com, voice search is more accurate..battery is better..

I want to load the non-rotating launcher patch. In case I have an issue, or just want to go back to the rotating one, can I simply rename the original apk file using Terminal Emulator first, flash the non-rotate version in CWM and test it out. If I do have an issue, to restore just delete the flashed launcher2.apk and rename the old one back to launcher2.apk? Basically, is there an undo? Thanks.

ok, for some reason this rom (gallery) doesn't like to see folders/icons/pic from the 'custom launcher icons' app. not sure why. i can put the images in my zedge\wallpaper folder and it'll see the images but not if its in the custome launcher docks/icons folder. i've tried clearing the data twice to no aval.

any ideas?

Com Rom Morning Flash

I flashed this rom this morning on my fascinate and noticed SMS would not send text, but it would show the message as being sent.

Downloaded the patch and ran it in CWM 3.30 I believe and still nothing, do I need to reinstall the base APK for the samsung MMS?

Downloaded it just waiting to get some sort of word back before I have to stock VZW my fascinate again and start over.

ok, this is weird. some how a file got created in the folder called '.nomedia' which was preventing the gallery from seeing/displaying what was in the folder

Yeah I'm having the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

send a V-Card to the sd card, that might stop a lot of retyping

[tonytooth]

I flashed Community 1.0 then 1.1 then 1.2 in a row without restarting the phone in between. I did it in the manner on mine and my wife's phone. Should I reflash them now in the proper manner so we don't face issues down the road or do you think we will be fine?

Hello all,

I've tried looking through this posts comments but its just to long so I gave up.

Has there been other people experiencing a problem with the calendar application having to force close since the update to 1.2?

If so is there a work around for this?

Any help is greatly appreciated
