Make a nandroid backup. Install Bionix fusion and give it a try for a week. If you dont like it, you always have your nandroid backup you can revert back to.
You will not revert back... you will just love your phone more and await the next release from Team Whiskey.

This. The only real decision you need to make is whether to flash Bionix 1.9 or Fusion 1.0
If you like Touchwiz, Bionix 1.9 is for you
If you like Launcher Pro, Fusion is where you need to be.
If you don't like the black, you can skin it. If you don't like it at all, try something else.
In short; try it.
Bionix is really smooth for me, even though I dislike the black keyboard, it saves battery, so I will deal with it. If you are feeling advantageous you can even use an overclocking kernel and see your phone fly even faster.
Bionix Fusion, id say.
just try it.

What problems have you been experiencing?
Hey everybody, I just order a Fascinate today and was interested in what ROM you guys/girls prefer to use. Im switching from a droid 2, and previously a droid 1, which had a great ROM community. I think its fantastic that there are so many Galaxy S phones but I think it is unfortunate that Roms are not applicable across models.
In addition to selecting what rom you are using it would be great to say what works great and what is still buggy. Please let me know if I forgot anything.

Welcome to the community!
Personally, I've been using jt1134's Super Clean with AOSP. Bubby323's Magic with AOSP is looking very promising. I tested version 0.2 for a couple days. and I think 0.3 will be a winner.
We're just getting started here in month 2 of the Fascinate's release, and there has already been some spectacular progress, mainly in the kernel department. There are some familiar names from the D1 community at work over here, and once FroYo drops for this phone, things should REALLY take off! (Seriously, who wants to work on a version of the OS that is already out of date, and will be replaced any minute now?)
I am loving that Blue Breeze!
Actually thought there would be more out there by now. Or at least some themes. I am sure, in time!

Well, I just finished an Android app that would have taken most devs about a half an hour. It took me a week, and I now have bald spots.
So I guess time is relative!
stock rom and just remove what you want
Add option for stock lol.
None of the above? I ran the update on my phone, reapplied root and continued on from there.

Me too! I know Best Buy can be shady, but God bless 'em for giving me this awesome phone for free. Well, almost, had to add a line to get it, haha.
Super Clean ROM with the puzzle lock screen running Dirk's D02_SV1200 kernel with lagfix turned on. So fast, and so much faster than my Eris.
Sent from my Fascinate using the XDA app
so how are you liking it compared to your droid 2?
using Zinc V1.0 right now. So far i'm liking it, but there's not a whole lot of difference in anything right now. I've tried jt's clean, blue breeze, aosp magic and Zinc, and they're pretty much all variations on a theme. not that there's anything wrong with that, i'm simply saying whatever you pick you can't go wrong, and it's easy to change anything you don't like about any one of them.
As the title says, what's your favorite ROM and why? Why didn't you stay on that rom and go to the one your on? Or you can explain a short review/experience with them.

Hmm, I've always flashed roms by Team Whiskey.
I think out of all of them, Nero v5 and Bionix-V 1.2 would tie as my favorites as of now.
Both are extremely snappy and smooth. The battery life is incredible. As of now, I'm currently running Bionix-V 1.2 and as of this last charge, my phone has been off the charger for 51 hrs (17% left) with light/moderate usage.
TBH, I could've stayed on Nero v5, but I just moved on because I wanted to experience the new hotness from TW.
(Actually, that's a pro and a con when it comes to TW: everytime you flash one of their roms, it takes only 4-5 days before a new one comes out and then you've got to debate whether or not to flash the new one, lol.)
my Rom of choice : Di11igaf
Smooth, fast, and good looking.. oh wait.. sorry guys i was looking in the mirrror..
haha JK.. yea this rom is dope.. Blue Version!

As expected, anything by Einherjar Dev Team will be my choice.
That said, this is going to be different for everyone. It depends what you want in a Rom.
Masters roms are always very visually appealing.
TW is who I studied. They make a solid rom, everytime. They also have access to every kerneler there is, except for freelance supercurio.
EDT is very young but growing fast. These roms are set out to be created as something that does yet exist.
Eugene is the hero of anyone who has ever had to recover from a soft brick. Solid roms.
The lone rom-ers are starting to bring out some very solid products.
Lol, I guess thats all I have to say right now.

I'm a big fan of the team einherjar Roms. they seem to be the most stable to me and have the least amount of issues. i recently flashed bionix V 1.2.1 but i has issues trying to download apps from the market even after reflashing like three times. needless to say i flashed back to trigger 2.0. thats just my 2 cents.
Nero v3 because it had the best battery life. But i dont want to revert back because bionix has some things that nero did not and i will take them over the battery. But yea i love battery and have heard that axura has excellent battery life.
Cyanogen mod 7
Pretty stable, fast and statusbar widgets.

With about 41 of those hours you sleeping...
I had flashed CM7 before my phone had bricked. (true brick. currently being fixed by the great connexion2005). one of my favorite things about the rom however is when you put your phone to sleep/turn screen off, it has a nastalgic feeling of an old tv turning off. Can we have that on any ROM or is this just one of the wonders of cm7?

I do believe he did. Won't do me any good though. Simply Galaxy is final.
PLEASE!!!!!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO A ZIP FILE TO FLASH IN THE OTHER ROMS!!!! I'm currently using the Bionix NexGen, it's a 2.2, it's my favorite and all i need is this screen on/off like CM7...
Anyone can do this???
i suggest waiting for an official 2.3 rom so you can have everything working and the added extras like the screen off animation.
Thanks homie, it's the only thing I can do right now... wait...

Hey Guys. I have been out of the loop for a while with all these new ROMS that keep on coming out. Does anyone have any good recommendations on any ROMS?
The one i'm using right now is: Bionix Frost by Team Whiskey 2.2.1
Whats the deal with these CyanogenMod7 Roms that are out now? Any good?

At the moment all gingerbread roms have a buggy gps.
Saying that, my favorite is CM7 as it completely leaves samsung based TouchWiz instead opting for the much quicker AOSP base.
Simply Honey 3.9.1 is killer man. Its Gingerbread 2.3.4 and you can overclock it to 1.2ghz. The GPS works pretty damn good too. To me there is no better Rom out there.
Simply Honey 3.9.1 powered by a 1.2ghz Bullet kernel..Simply Badass \m/

I'm sorry, but when I flashed Simply Honey (CWM& Odin version) it always came out laggy. I'm not really sure what the big hype of that ROM is about, yes I was a fan of the Simply Honey back in the day when it was 2.2.1, but its either I'm having a bad flash or the ROM doesn't want to run on my phone.
My vote goes to bi-winning V3. Its a 2.2.1 rom and its absolutely blazing on my phone, and zero issues.
Bi-winning V3
the following two roms are stable fast and very nice battery life...

Malice 4. Works very nicely for me. CM7 had a tendency to trash my external SD card. Maybe it was me, though...
Take a look at the one in my signature. The Toxic Muzic one. Stable, with tons of theming support. Great battery life too with Bali-X.
Malice v4 FTW check it is amazazing (misspelled on purpose) great battery and speed and the only bug i seem to have is with the gps it works.... when it wants too...

This was my experience with it as well, which is why I'm always surprised that it's so highly regarded. I even flashed it a second time after trying other roms just to see if I was mistaken but yeah, a laggly, clucky rom for me. CM7, MIUI, Asgard, etc, were all much more responsive in my experience.
Well i just owned my phone . The phone will not boot into anything.
I installed the simply honey 4.0 and when it boots the screen turns all different colors and it android voice says something about not enough space in partition. Now my screen is completely black and wont go anywhere else.
I think i somewhere i seen some say that is cause voodoo is on if you can power your phone up deactivate vodoo sorry for the caps
Nope man. my phone is done for lol. It just does a restart loop and i cannot get to the voodoo menu or anything actually.
Cannot even get into recovery mode.

You know I hate it when people flash something as important as bootloaders and don't read the whole OP, if you read the whole OP, you would know that there is different button mapping.
