Hey! If you’ve installed the Darky Rom 10.2 (or 10.3) on your T959D phone (Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate), and you are missing the HOME and SEARCH key here is how to get them working :
Install Darky ROM 10.2
- Download the latest Odin 3 (I used Odin3 v1.85) *
- Start Odin
- Download DarkyROM_10.2_Resurrection.zip
- Extract the ZIP
- Put the pit file in PIT
- Tick repartition
- Put PDA.tar it into PDA
- Put phone in Download Mode (vol-down+home+pwr)
- Connect through USB to your computer (make sure Kies is off)
- Hit Start
- Sit back and relax while your phone gets resurrected
* The provided Odin 1.3 didn’t detected my phone, so I just used version 1.85
Install the key layout patch
But since this ROM is for the I9000 phone which has a hardware HOME button, you need to install a patch to fix the T959D’s software buttons :
- Download the “Key Layout Update.zip” from this page
- Connect your phone to your computer as a mass storage device
- Copy the “Key Layout Update.zip” to your phone’s sd card.
- Reboot in recovery mode, by holding the power button and choosing the option “Recovery”.
- “Install zip from sdcard”
- “Choose zip from sdcard”
- Select the zip
- Yes, install it
- Reboot and voila!
By the way, you can also use this patch with Darky ROM 10.3 but this ROM was waaaay too slow!
Extra : the band frequencies
If your using Telus Canada, you may need to add the band frequencies (otherwise Canadian bands will be disabled by default) :
- Open the Dialer app
- Type *#*#197328640#*#*
- Select [1] Debug Screen
- Select [8] Phone control
- Select [7] Network control
- Select [2] Band Selection
- Select [4] Combi Bands []
- Select all the bands
Thank you mate!
Much appreciated!
Would it be possible to know the best modem for Canadians that uses Darky ROM?
Thanks!

Posted by baker5654 | February 14, 2012, 8:47 pm@Baker : What do you mean by modem? As far I know, you’re stuck with the modem that came with your phone. So I suggest googling for your phone model. You can find this under “Settings > About your phone > Model number”. Note that after the upgrade in this post, mine does not show T959D anymore but GT-I9000.
