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 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
ok so i've went through the threads here and pretty much got a handle on what's what but some are little outdated. though since i'm new, i've already applied the ED01 froyo OTA update from stock as soon as i opened it up and a lot of the stuff here are applied to older firmwares. so first things first, i tried to root using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790004 using the fascinateRootv02 but no go. i hear you can use superoneclick but looking at the superonelick thread, samsung fascinate is not supported? so if someone can point me to the right direction, i would appreciate it.
so with that said, i know there are a lot of roms available. i want to just stick to one that works well and avoid much as possible in keep changing roms. so what is the most popular roms out of the bunch?
thanks!

You are correct. You can just odin a CWR of your choice and then flash a ROM with the Super User package already in place and kaboom rooted
Superonelick (version...let me look here.....ugh... version 1.8) is fascinate compatible and I myself have used it before.
cheers.
** Edit **
To answer you question OP, the most popular ROM is Ultimatekangbang (Community ROM v1.x), Evil Fascination, and CyanogenMod 7 (Koas or CM7 by JT **Gingerbread**)
Quick break down
Kangbang (Comm)
-Community developed and updated frequently
-Most popular
-Comes with an overclockable/undervoltable kernel (up to 1.6ghz)
Evil Fascination
-2nd only to Kangbang
-Great ROM very clean
-No kernel (since I last checked could be wrong)
- Just use one of the PBJ kernels that are under volted for better battery life
-beta testing the LG android launcher
CM7
-Gingerbread (2.3)
-Camera, MMS, and BT do not function until a 2.3 official leak is obtained
-Smooth and completely open source
-heavily customizable
I use Kangbang 1.3 with the 100uv PBJ kernel and I see no crashes or force closing issues alongside 25 to 30 hours of battery life under normal use.

again i say welcome and enjoy ur amazing new phone.. i prefeer community rom
I'm gonna make the transition from Froyo (Trigger) to Gingerbread. I've been enjoying the stability of Trigger and this has prevented me from going 2.3.4 because last time I check it was still "Experimental"
Now I look and it seems as if a lot of gingers are stable.
Is there one you guys can recommend for me. I'm used to using CWM to flash roms and doing the 3 cache clears.
Which do you recommend I try if any. Should I stick with froyo 2.2 or 2.2.1 or give a gingerrom a try?
I heard revolution rom RC1 is really stable and i'm thinking of upgrading to that
sent from vibrant running trigger 3.2 and SuperDragonModz
Been running Asgard V3, now V3.1. No issues, fast, GPS works (for me), Like it a lot. Asgard V2 was buggy but V3 is sweet.
Recomend that if you are going to gingerbread become friendly with Odin.
With the exception of CM7/Miui it is much better to be using gingerbread bootloaders with a gingerbread rom and you need Odin to flash them.
Thanks guys, I ended up getting Revolution for the AOSP look, so far so good! Loving it, the 15min break in period never lasted so long haha.
I appreciate the advice though, it helped me make a decision

does gps work even after putting it off and on again ???
current setup:
bionix-V 1.3.1
Bali-X 1.2GHZ
KB5 modem
this ROM and kernel are freshly flashed after odining back to JFD. phone currently runs smooth. no problems. havent done anything else.
problem is i NEEEED a 4 tab lock screen. and im having trouble understanding all the KB1/KB5/ deodexed stuff.
my baseband version is KB5 (since flashing KB5 modem) but my ROM is still based on KB1? see, i dont really know what this means or have any idea what im talking about there...
but i know that this mod requires "KB5" and when i flash it, my phone freezes during the install.
now this is expected. someone else in the thread had the same issue bionix-v 1.3.1 and they were told to "make sure" their rom is compatible (cuz bionix-v 1.3.1 is not)
i dont know how to "make sure". And i could just flash another rom that someone else has used with that mod, or i could use a rom that comes with a 4 tab lock screen like Toxic Crazy8... but i am particular about a few other things:
- i really like the speed of bionix-v 1.3.1
- i like the gingerbread theme with bionix-v 1.3.1 and the launcher (im not using the version that comes w/ touchwiz)
- i like the option to overclock (which is why i changed kernels from the one that comes with bionix-v 1.3.1)
- i definitely need BLN support (which is another reason im changed to Bali-X 1.2GHz)
- i did not like Toxic Crazy8 or any of their themes for it and for some reason my cpu would not drop below 800MHz. i also did not like using CM7, found it slow for some reason.
so how can i have the things i like AND have a 4 tab lockscreen?
ps- i sure wouldnt mind using the new ice cream sandwich theme or something with a lot of blue
You flashed back to stock giving you eclair 2.1, this rom/addon is froyo. check your firmware under settings, about phone, are you eclair or froyo? whitehawx has a deodexed 2.2 kb5 stock rom in the dev setion.
i have 2.2 (froyo) becuz i have bionix. but nothing said anything about KB5 until i flashed the KB5 modem. and of course nothing says anything about deodexed
i'd hate to have to load a stock ROM with all the bloat and no fancy tweaks or themes or anything...
could i still use a kernel like bali-x? (i guess i can ask that question over in that thread...)
it seems that a number of mods and themes and whatnot require a deodexed ROM but i dont see many mentions of deodexing in the descriptions of the popular ROMs...
I believe whitehawkx lockscreen addon was for biwinning. bionix is a team whiskey pre deodexed build. check the ops I may be wrong but if you want the lockscreens, bi winning is a good build.

cool, im gonna check that one out. thanx
Update: OMG greatest ROM ever! thank you so much for the recommendation! i was getting so tired of playing around with different ROMs but i hadnt tried this one yet. EVERYTHING i want
After I rooted my phone, I simply installed Bionix 1.3 on it and that was it.
Do I NEED to install a kernel? What does that do exactly?
Everything has been running fine on my T-Mo Vibrant with the Bionix, but would the kernel help in any way?
Thanks.
Read the ROM OP. A kernel is usually prepackaged. Understand your ROM first, then start working with different kernels. Go to the Bible stickied in the forum and you'll see links to all the kernels.
Kernels come with all custom roms. With Bionix roms, they all come with a stock + Voodoo kernel. Its is a stock kernel that has the Voodoo lagfix built in and comes preactivated. Custom kernels have more tweaks and features than the stock voodoo kernels, like Voodoo sound, Overclocking and Undervolting abilities, and more. I advise you research the advantages and disadvantages of installing custom kernels. Until you have done your research about them, i suggest you stay on the stock+Voodoo kernel for now. Once you think you're ready for a custom kernel, please choose one that is up-to-date and was built to work on Froyo roms, like Bali, Bali-X, Bullet, and Immortality.
Okay, so my question then is, with the Bionix them, if I wanted to install Bali 1.8v
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043947
Would I just do that via Clockwork Mod, then reinstall the Bionix ROM?
Or would that be too messy and possibly screw something up?
Thanks Mr. Apocalypse
You can flash kernels through CWR or SGS Kernel Flasher (in the market). Thing is, the I agree with Mr Apocalypse, you need to be reading and checking out things or your next post will be, "I bricked my phone, how to I fix it?"
This is directly from the OP of the Bionix ROM thread.
Optional Kernels:
NOTE:
Team Whiskey is not liable and takes absolutely no responsibility for any damages. Overclocking your phone adds additional stress to your hardware, so please understand the risks involved before you decide to overclock. Not all devices overclock the same, so please test the different clock speeds and see which one works best for you. Many times, certain devices will not accept an overclock at all. If you fall into this category, you will have to flash back to a stock kernel.
(all of these kernels have been compiled from official Vibrant 2.2 source code. They are include voodoo sound, voodoo color, and bln support. Bionix-v 1.3.1 already included the necessary apps for these features. Test these optional kernels and see which one works best for you!)

After you flash Bionix, then flash Bali. You can do that in ClockWorkMod Recovery or SGS Kernel Flasher, i prefer to use CWM Recovery because sometimes the app doesnt install some special files that are needed for things like BLN to work. But either way is ok, just dont reflash the rom afterward or you'll be back on the stock+Voodoo kernel
Bali is a great choice, drhonk builds those rock solid.
