All is looking good so far. Everything works flawlessly. I especially love barnacle. Yea. Wifi tether. Its cool. 8)
 
I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I have a confirmed sleeping bug. Happens whenever I take the phone off the charger. A reboot fixes it. Wonder what might be causing it.
 
lol you read my mind.

UPDATE: ok this is kinda weird. When I was testing last night and found the sleeping bug, I was only charging the phone for about 20 minutes or so at a time. I left it plugged in overnight, and woke up to a fully charged phone. I unplugged it, and found it is a sleeping phone, as well. So I guess if you let it fully charge, its ok. Not sure, but I'll definitely keep my eye on it.

I realized the sleep thing yesterday when I was making the md5 and my phone was plugged in for about 45 minutes, but my phone really isnt a good test.

Also if you do experience a sleep bug but do not want to restart your phone because it takes to long, or your like me and forget to turn on the phone after turning it off :D Download and isntall Fast Reboot from the market and run that if you are experiencing a sleep bug

As a side note I am looking into getting the downloads tab back onto the market page instead of the tmobile link

I tried pushing the market from galaxy on your last release to no avail. Market worked, but the tmo picks link was still there. I'm wondering if it might be something in framework or possibly the build.prop file. I plan on experimenting with a2sd for the next release. What I'd like to get my hands on is a copy of recovery from galaxy final, so we would be able to partition the sd from recovery. Perhaps BH_MAN would be willing to help our cause...
 
IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Later this week I will no longer have this phone, I plan on releasing one more rom which will be my 8/1 release with an updated ADW, root working and the barnacle tether, this will fix the sleep bug but require you to choose ADW on first boot. I will also be posting the Framework-res.apk that I used to create the rom which includes animations and the battery Icon, if you have any else you want me to post let me know, I will still be on the forum helping out with this rom for trouble shooting, It has been a pleasure working with this phone and I hope the best for all the users.

Sad to see you go, but at the same time I'm happy for you. What will you be moving on to? I'm not able to drop this phone just yet, so I still wanna try getting a2sd working on this rom, with your permission, of course. If there is anything you have that may help me beyond whats in the forum already, that would be awesome. Its been a pleasure working with you.
 
probably the galaxy BH_Man is deving for it plus its released world wide so support should be better, and nothing that isnt already on the forum will help with a2sd
 
going to try this out on Wed. Let me know if you get that sleep bug fixed. No idea what a sleep bug is.

Thanks for all the work!
 
PLEASE FIX THE CONTACTS PROBLEM!!! it doesnt let me scroll through the letters. it starts at the letter c. and on one of the dailers, you can not click on contacts with out it force closing.

PLEASE FIX THIS BEFORE YOU GET RID OF THE PHONE!! THIS IS A GREAT ROM
 
If you are talking about the letter c at the top of the list when you first go into contacts, thats a bug in the program. It should still scroll like normal. The fc is occuring on the touchwiz dialer because the contacts portion of it has been replaced with the other contacts app from xda. I never use this dialer. Bearsfan and microhaxo have both tried to pull it, but can't because its tied up with too many other system stuff. You can thank samsung for righteously raping the standard android system.
Anyway, if you still can't get the contacts app to scroll, I'd try resetting the phone.
 
@bearsfan85: I noticed that when I reboot the phone, I lose my vibration on rings and notifications and have to go back into stock settings to turn it back on. Is that something you think you might be able to fix for your last release? Just curious...
 
Again probably a problem with removing TwLauncher so that will be back on the next rom and should fix any of the problems. Last release will be tonight, its basically the 8/1 release with root, barnacle fix and adw updated, I will also be posting the framework res.apk. I'm sorry for the short notice on the phone, I was planning on having it for a few more weeks

Misread your post
 
Posting this from updated rom with barnacle, probably going to post within the hour, Has TwLauncher on it and the standard browser, removing too much twiz makes the phone less stable
 
FINAL UPDATED POSTED

Sleep bug avoided by putting back TwLaucnher, you now have to choose on first boot, and put back stock browser. Root, Barnacle fix and updated ADW.

framework res is also posted able to be used on microhaxo's,

I will have the phone until tomorrow so any bugs please report soon so I can look into it
 
I will be reverting back to stock at 11 CT plz send me any bugs within the hour so I can look into them, also could someone confirm barnacle and root along with the ADW version, they worked on my phone but a second opinion would be great.
 
Has anyone tested this out, I want to be able to post any bugs if there are any, in my quick testing last night, I didnt find anything, no force closes, and no sleep bug but taht was in about an hr.
 
Installed the final version over Take 5. Installation went without any problems, the phone booted fine and the touch screen worked from the first boot.
Just played with it for a few minutes. It goes to deep sleep properly with wifi on and it reconnects when it wakes up.
Two things I noticed: it takes longer to boot than Take 5 - about 30 seconds longer. And the Contacts scroll less smooth than the stock contacts (that are in Take 5).
 
I know about the contacts scrolling but that was the best way to get it to sync properly, and after first boot I believe it speeds up boot time any time after, but other than that no force closes? I'm only asking because I can't do any more dev for the rom and want to have a stable version up
 
I'll use it for the next few hours and keep you updated. Is there a way to put back the Samsung contacts? I miss having the "Dial" and "Text" buttons next to each name.
Thanks for all you tremendous work! Wish I knew how to do it myself.
 
you would have to put alot of the bh2 stock things on there which would make it less of a rom and more of hey I just put ADW root and barnacle on the phone. The best way to describe how twiz is on the phone would be comparing it to jenga, if you remove some pieces the structure still functions but loses stability, so when I removed most of the bloatware from twiz the contacts would not sync.

thanks for the feedback
 
Flashed from 1.6 Tweaked to your rom, everything is smooth so far, no force closes so far and battery life is good(with 2g), at 47% after around 10 hours of use. Good work bearsfa85 love the rom.
