Sorry for the Noob questions...I just don't want to F things up.
I am thoroughly enjoying CM7 on my vibrant, however, I am wanting to try out the Simply 2.3 ROM that is 2.2.1 based. I am wondering if I need to Odin to stock, or could I just flash the new rom through CWR 3.0 that is CM7 based.
Maybe other noobs would like a direct answer also.
Thanks for everything! Love these forums!
don't know thew build platform but it they are based on the same platform you could flash over one to the other, but I usually Odin back to stock anytime I am changing from one dev's rom to another It is safer.........

CM7 is android 2.3.2 (Gingerbread AOSP), and I am wanting to revert to 2.2.1 (Froyo)....I know the kernels are diff, so I don't want to end up in a bricked state
Nevermind, the answer is to Odin with reparation checked.

I think you might be in the wrong section. Do you have the I9000?
If you in fact DO have a vibrant, I wouldn't recommend flashing that. The only CM that I know of is the beta. Still buggy.
Just check out the development threads. All the roms you need right there.

Well i have a vibrant tmobile and im trying to get this rom

If you dont recommend this rom can you point me out to a good 2.2.1 rom like cyanogen
As of now, there isn't quite a stable 2.2.1 out there. Give it a little time. Jellette is working on it and will probably have something out soon. Also 2.3 is still on the hot plate.
Check out team whiskeys Nero, or masters axura, or jellette's goodies.

i am wondering if i root my phone do i have to install a new ROM on it or my vibrant stock ROM will stay along with the contents that i have on..
and will i be able to switch to stock ROM easily" might do it when the official GB comes out if it comes out"
Thanks
If you root your phone you don't HAVE to flash anything, your phone will be the exact same only with superuser permissions.
If you do decide to flash anything it is very easy to get back to stock.

I highly suggest you play around with a few roms. the vibrant is extremely slow on the stock rom. Team whiskey makes great vibrant roms

Agreed.
Try some team whiskey roms with some different kernels. They're pretty stable and user friendly.
Don't hold your breath for official GB =] cause you'll suffocate.

stay away from any 2.3 roms that ask you to install GB bootloader should you decide to flash any custom roms. Atleast until you are comfortable with odin, flashing, etc.
as far as 2.2 roms go.... I recommend Trigger.
2.3 Roms CM7/Miui (no bootloader needed)
If my phone, an Optimus T is 2.2 froyo, is there a way to upgrade it to 2.3 gingerbread, so that I can flash some of the 2.3 ROMs in this section?
Thanks!

This is one ROM which I could find. Please do a complete search of the forums and you could find more.
[EDIT]: Check the sticky thread in the P500 development forums to know how to flash ROMs and other stuff.
Well you can directly flash a gingerbread based ROM, after installing the custom recovery and making proper nandroid backups...
I love my fascinate. But there are some minor things I can't stand about the phone, mainly in how limited some options are and inability to remove some stock apps.
I tried a custom rom before, frakenclean I think, and while I loved the options it gave me I could not stand the way the phone would crash. The phone crashed almost daily. So I went back to the stock rom.
I miss the option to turn the 3g on and off, not having the Is there a reliable/stable rom that won't crash on me?
Custom roms have never had issues for me, you might have gotten a bad build. You should try out the gingerbread roms, they have the best performance and awesomeness you can get for our phones. If you want to stay on froyo try powerwashed or comrom.

Hi SageDieu,
I currently have a Telus Fascinate (SGH-T959D) which is running Stock Gingerbread + Rooted.
I'm wondering if you could point me in the right direction to where I can find custom gingerbread ROMs for my phone.
I have yet to feel comfortable with some of the ROM's I've looked at here in the forums.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The only rom thats not on xda is tsm pool party. You can find that on rootzwiki. Anyway imo powerwashed ed05 and com rom are the 2 most reliable roms. The gb roms still have a few minor issues, but most things have been fixed. I will be jumping over to pwgb soon as a voodoo kernal is released.

Thanks for the info. I took a look over at the 'rootzwiki' forum and I didn't see much that really indicates custom ROMS will work with my Fascinate.
Has anyone here that has a Telus Fascinate (SGH-T959D) running Stock Gingerbread updated there ROM or Kernel yet?
I would really like to get CWM back on my phone

I don't think there has ever been a custom rom created specifically using a Telus Fascinate rom as a base. Just custom kernels.
I'm currently running Darky's Rom 10.2 RE , flashable directly via odin/heimdall
It's GT-i9000 based Gingerbread 2.3.4 with some tweaks and it's own custom kernel. You get to choose from stock Gingerbread launcher or Touchwiz 4.5 (launcher from SGS II with some tweaks).
You need to do some tweaking to get your home/back button fixed, but I find its insignificant to the benefits of running a (i9000-based) custom rom. I've never had the phone crash on me from normal use, so I consider it very stable.
I think the OP and others are talking about the Verizon Fascinate which is completely different from our Telus Fascinate. There has been confusion in the past which resulted in bricked phones so please be careful when talking about custom roms for "Fascinate"

How do you fix these buttons? I am having issues with the buttons on miui and am unable to fix the home and search buttons.

Refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004314
Basically, you need to mopdi melfas_touchkey.kl (may be different in MUIU) file in /system/usr/keylayout/ to assign the proper function (ie, HOME, SEARCH) to the proper button key.
The thread has a flashable zip, but I'd recommend using a root-capable file explorer (like Root Explorer [padi] or ES File Manager [free]) to edit the file.
I find custom roms very reliable. Sometime more reliable then stock roms.
i got a GP 5.0 yp-g70cb/mea over the weekend and was surprised it got froyo 2.2.2 ive been reading and decided to try other roms based on GB but i got a couple of questions
how to do a full back up - i saw a guide for the 4.0 but not applicable for the 5.0
upgrading from froyo to ginger bread is it possible to revert back to froyo if anything goes wrong?
is there a cwm that works with the stock 2.2.2? i did search and came up with nothing
thanks,
aben

Please read here... This thread should answer most of your questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
If you are wanting to upgrade to Froyo but are not sure about playing with custom roms, due to fear of bricking, etc... just do a factory upgrade to GB via Kies... no risk in doing so... and if anything was to go wrong, it's Samsung factory upgrade so you should be covered via warranty.
If you are brave enough to venture into custom roms, there are few options available for you. GB roms are pretty safe... no need for pre work... just download the custom GB roms and flash using Odin3... most of these roms will work for both US & INT versions of the players, provided that you flash the right kernel. Anyway... do some reading. Good luck...
Also, if you flash a kernel first, you can make a nandroid backup which can take you back to froyo.

Not really afraid of trying out custom roms i just feel the need to do a full backup before diving in in case something screw up but cant find any guide for doing so
i tried kies but it seems like mea models are not having GB updates from sammy
Flashing the kernel seems like a good idea but is it rom dependent let say rj custom kernel for intl version will it work on froyo assuming it is from GB (not sure)
Again i want to do a full backup before trying things up
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA
Kernel version is independent of android version. I believe both yp-g70 kernels are based on the source thar Samsung released with froyo anyways.

If you want to install a different kernal, I recommend u to use Entropy512's kernal and when you flash, use an older version of super one click because you need to root it.
