I tried 3 separate kernels from different Samsung Galaxy-S phones (2.2.1 firmwares), all ended up in disasters. A couple times almost unrecoverable, for example I was able to get into download mode but Odin simply refused to connect or see the phone.
Needless to say I would not try again after 3 times. My luck can't hold out forever... YMMV, Your GSM Telus Fascinate may very well be much more compatible than my CDMA VZW Fascinate.

I am on darky's 9.3 final with a telus fascinate. I put it on before I realized that there was a vibrant edition and have been happily using the i9000 verision since 9.2.
In case you are curious:
Install darky's 9.1 (stupid i know but do it) using the telus kernel,
this step i dont know if it needs to be done but i did it anyway: Install rom configurator and install darky's 9.2 no modem no kernel.
Finally install 9.3 with speedmod kernel and modem straight from the configurator. Thats how i did it. I am using the i9000 speedmod kernel because i find the battery is amazing with speedmod on ext2.
I have tried the telus modem and the one that comes with darky's and i can not see a difference so I am sticking to the one that comes with the rom because my phone is working perfectly right now.
The vibrant edition may work and may save you from investing in buttonremapper But this is what works for me

Hi there
The kind of kernel published here are only stock kernels, which means the exact same code build by Samsung for Vibrant phones.
Of course, there's a difference: Voodoo lagfix 5 stable has been injected in them, with its extensions and also ClockWorkMod recovery as default recovery.
Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.
Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.
Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)
This kernel also installs the su binary for your convenience. Only activated once you download Superuser App from market. If you don't want to "root" your phone, skip this part.
How do choose the version?
The best version is the closest to the one of the ROM / system you run.
If you use a custom ROM instead of an official Samsung one, ask your ROM dealer which one is closer
update.zip you can flash with ClockWorkMod recovery (not 2e or 3e) or SGS Kernel Flasher
JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3-unsigned-update.zip
.tar you can flash with Odin or Heimdall
JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3.tar
Note, please disable any other lagfix previously installed, especially OCLF-kind (the conversion to Ext4 would take ages)
These kernels are only for Telus Fascinate (T959D), sorry Verizon Fascinate pals.
EDIT: How Lame, I created this thread in the General section after seeing other T959D threads here ^^ A moderator help is welcome
Thank you!
Just flashed this and enabled the voodoo lagfix! So far so good! Just a note...I have SGS Kernel flasher and it won't flash the .tar, it will flash the .zip.
Quadrant score: 1517 first try, 1577 second try.
Just sent you a little donation, thank you again.
Thank you, I updated now the post, also to say it's tested
THANK YOU!!!
Glad to see you on the fascinate, even if it is not the verizon version.

Wow wow wow.....thank you so much for this.
Custom roms for the T959D, YES?!?!!!!
Anyways, i appreciate your hard work. Is there any common issues?
is there anyway we can get this kernal overclocked and undervolted? im not giving up my 1.28ghz so i can have a working home button
Flashed this last night and everything is working fantastically. Many thanks as well as a donation later today.

An overclocked version of this kernel would be fantastic as well, is that in the realm of possibility?

Worked flawlessly here! Thanks.

Im running Nero v5 ROM which I understand is KA5 with the Speedmod Kernel on my Telus Fascinate T959D and its running superb
If I flash over the KA6 kernel, will I lose the Speedmod Kernel along with all the TWEAKS ??
With all these kernels around including the Voodoo injected T959D just posted by supercurio Im wondering whether which will be the best combination with Nero v5...Voodoo 5.2 lagfix is also now available so confused...
Question from a first time flasher.
Do I have to rename the zip to "update.zip" in order to flash?
Never mind. Apparently not!
I am wanting to know if you can flash any froyo kernels on atriac v1 and also modems. Thanks for all the help to in advance. Also the Ka7 kernel is no good in my area any suggestions
You will be fine I was using overstock 1.5 til a few minutes ago now I'm using tiger's blood v2. As far as a modem you may want to try Kb1 a lot of people seem to have good things to say about that one but it all depends on where your at.
Any Vibrant froyo 2.2 kernel/modem will work with our 2.2.1 builds.
Yes, care has been taken to ensure maximum compatibility between our 2.2.1 releases and available vibrant kernels. Be sure to read the kernels install instructions prior to flashing too.

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.

If you check out the CM7 Q&A forums they mention not to flash any kernels and use only the included one that comes with CM7. As for the modem, KH3 is a great modem, but XXKI1 has been released which I am using and is working very well...

Hello, Just Picked up my S2 I900m today. I am on the Bell Canada network. My previous phone is the I9000m (still love it) which was Rooted using Slim ICS and the Semaphore kernel using the KG3 Modem.
I've spent a few hours reading/research and for some reason the 9100 seems a little more complicated. I basically want a smiliar setup as I had with the i9000.
I think once I get the recovery figured out, I can start by flashing CM9 and then SLIM ICS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: I forgot to mention I bought the phone used so it has been upgraded to 4.03 MUGLD3
well, the great thing with i9100 is that you can basically match anything up (considering of what OS you're in: GB or ICS) unlike that of i9000's, you have to be on that firmware so you can flash that something and etc.
if you have a good background in flashing things in i9000, then you're good to go in the i9100 world
