  • In my case, this list should be also augmented by about 40 more commits that were accepted into builds between April 3 and April 13. While again, there's no Fassy-specific commits, and no "milestone" build available, overall improvements and debugging of CM 10.1 builds leave an impression of smoother operation.

    Now Skype is available at Play market, installs and works, sort of, LOL: it just can't recognize Fassy's ambient light sensor as a front camera.

    XBMC 12.1 (Frodo) works like a charm, lots of other "alternative" streaming video works fine.

    Groove IP Lite works as before, just fine. It's unclear whether "sideloaded" (flashed) JB Play market will be upgraded by OTA to something new (version 4.x) that has 60,000 less apps, but if it happens and some, or many interesting apps would disappear, downgrading such Play must be just one flash away.

    Great work, CM devs, thank you! Together with Nook Color, my Samsung Fascinate is this fascinating device that just don't want to die.
