Sorry tried a few different roms and coming to wits end
Just wondering which of these is a good stable rom
Tried most recently cm7 and miui the ran good but GPS was wonky at best
Always had to reboot to use
Just wondering what would be a good rom with decent performance that GPS works with.

I think GPS works in Bionix, it is a 2.2 rom by team whiskey. I have never tried it.
I was using cm7 and miui, I liked both, smooth and fast, but minor issues like constant reboot required to get GPS to work. So I'm back on stock deodexed/rooted kb5. GPS works ok, but definitely better than on GB.

In my opinion it doesn't get any better than TeamWhiskey Bionix-v 1.3.1 with Tigers BLood Kernel.
I'm running that. TeamWhiskey has never failed me.
i was on RevolutionRom JVP (gingerbread) with clockworkmod recovery, and i TI Backup'd.... manually wiped data, cache, dalvik, and then installed the simply honey zip file from recovery, and it wiped for me automatically (which was expected) and now during its boot screen where it says "powered bay talon sh kernel", the phone simply goes into a bootloop.
so now my question is, how do i go back to bionix-v (froyo) from the gingerbreaded bootloop? would i have to odin back to stock or something?

If you didn't apply the Gingerbread bootloaders i think you can just ODIN to stock then flash. If you did to the Gingerbread bootloaders I think you have to ODIN the froyo bootloaders then Odin to stock.

NO GB bootloaders are backwards compatible. No need to flash froyo bootloaders.

it really depends on you. im on miui right now because i cant go without gingerbread, but i also liked bionix. it was extremely stable
ya, it's... im also on MIUI, as 2.3 is the only os with proper copy past.... its just hard to get past the hacked drivers....
as far as the gps, i picked up a bt-gps brick that gets 1m accuracy, i can sit up in the window and works great... cost me $20.

I flashed a couple of different ROMs on my fascinate and got them set up and running beautifully. The problem is when I reboot I get FC like crazy. What am I doing wrong. Sorry if this is a stupid one, I came from OG Droid where everything is much more simple. Thanks..
which roms? 2.2 or 2.1? if 2.2, how did you get it? did you get the official update, or did you flash the odin package, or do it separately?
Evil Fascination 3.4.0 with wipe. Stock kernel. used the cwr found in this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048380
well, every time I charge my hpone, it just wont reproduce mp3, I get some format problem and I have to reset the phone entirely just to be able to used the music player. I am using Bionix V nextgen 2, but the problem was there with 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 test.
Any help?

done that many times... almost always go back to stock when installing a new rom.
anyways, I am now trying project V and haven't had any issue so far, besides, I am loving the unlock screens (miui specially) and it is fast an good battery life even with stock kernel.
I've had this happen on the STOCK 2.2 Froyo T-Mobile ROM, but have never figured out exactly what combination of things to do in order to cause it.
Hi, everyone. I'm used to rooting/ROMing/etc. on the Samsung Epic, but I'm very new to the Thunderbolt. I rooted my girlfriend's phone and had some problems with the data connection being inactive following a kernel install. I went back to as close to stock as I could in order to get everything working again, but new problems have surfaced:
1. GTalk crashes
2. Camera fails to open
3. Documents fail to open, as in Word
4. Phone fails to update, though it indicates an update is ready
Right now, she's on a pretty much stock Froyo ROM and what I believe is the stock kernel, or something very close.
I've read a bit about the camera and gtalk problems. I saw a link to a CWM flashable zip that apparently fixes the date problem that causes the closes. However, it wasn't clear if that zip was only for GB for if it also works for Froyo. Please advise on that.
I haven't seen any reference to the document opening problem, unfortunately.
As far as the update thing goes, I'd rather keep her on a custom ROM, as I assume the update will kill her root.
Basically, I'm looking for a stable and reliable kernel, ROM (preferably GB), and radio combination that is known to run without issues. Last time I tried to pick a combo myself, it ended up killing the data connectivity, so I'm trying to figure out the "best" combination that is known to work. Also, if there are any Thunderbolt-specific flashing procedures that tend to cut down on force closes and errors following a flash, please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
-Rob
When you say update, you mean OTA? If so, you have to be 100% stock to get an OTA to install. You can't have a custom recovery installed.
Pretty much all the GB ROMs out there are pretty stable. The question is, do you want a Sense ROM, or AOSP?
As far as kernels go, Imoseyon's kernels are top notch. I prefer jdkernel for AOSP ROMs though.
I use the latest OTA radio and have 0 problems, and it works for both froyo and GB ROMs.
...
Thanks a lot for the response. I'd like to keep on the Sense side of things, just to keep the user experience sort of like stock for the girl.
So, to go one step at a time:
First, the radio. Is this the latest OTA radio that you mentioned (MR2?): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154010
Second, the kernel. It looks like nerozehl has a great kernel that's based off of Imoseyon's leankernel. There are so many versions, though. Would the latest Sense kernel 2.3.6 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099996) be appropriate, considering the ROM below?
Last, the ROM. It looks like SynergyROM is a good place to start. I believe the latest one is found off the download link near the top of this page: http://infectedrom.com/showthread.p...IGHTLYS-2.3.4-SENSE-3.0-★-☆-★?p=4368#post4368 Any thoughts on SynergyROM?
Does that combination seem like one that should work correctly?
Also, just so I have the steps correct for installation:
1. Flash radio in hboot.
2. Wipe in CWM (cache, dalvik cache, anything else?)
3. Flash kernel in CWM.
4. Flash ROM in CWM.
5. Reboot.
Thanks again for any help. It is definitely much appreciated. Can't go around breaking the girlfriend's phone, after all...it just looks bad!

There is an issue with the lib files for the Camera ,which is messing up Gtalk. There is a fix in several threads, something HTC did on the new base.
Here is the fix:

Thanks, fillyo! I assume this works for both GB and Froyo ROMs?

If you flash the kernel before the ROM whatever kernel comes built in to the ROM will overwrite the kernel you just flashed. I would say ROM, kernel, radio.
Oh and when you wipe I would do:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. Advanced, wipe dalvik cache
4. Under mounts and storage select format /system

JBO, thanks for the advice. That makes a lot of sense. Do you have any comments on the radio, rom, kernels I've selected above? Particularly the radio. I was told the latest OTA radio works well, but is that the one also knows as MR2?
Thanks,

Yes the MR2 radio will work with that ROM as well as any leaked radio that is newer than the MR2. What radio works best is kinda subjective and seems to vary from person to person. I don't know if the kernel you linked is compatible you would need to ask in the Synergy thread. Honestly as far as the kernel goes I would just use the one built into synergy. I hear its quite good and has a great set of features.

I've used SynergyROM and it is an awesome ROM. It comes with Ziggy's kernel, which is an awesome kernel. The OTA Radio basebands are 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r
I hope you find a ROM/kernel/radio combo that works for you!
That's exactly the info I needed. I'll just stick with the built-in kernel and the MR2 radio. Thanks for all the help, guys.

I've reloaded rom manager onto my Fascinate. I was going to download one of JT's kernels but it doesn't show anything for the fascinate. It shows roms for the S I9000. How do I change the device it will list for? I've tried reloading it and it does that every time.
I take it your on a eh09 rom... if so you need to manually install jt's kernal via cwm. Honestly I would run far far away from rom manager jmo.
I'm on Pool party but it's been like that for a while I just haven't worried about it. I know I've been on MIUI and then to EH09 PW (yeah I'm a flasher). I don't really remember when I noticed it but I can't fix it.
If you're on pool party that means you're running a kernel with jt's latest commits within your current kernel. In others words don't flash a jt kernel it might end up being older than what you're running now
good day.
But how do I fix it? I've reflashed back to Resurrection 1.1 so I've done a complete wipe. I've reinstalled ROM Manager and it's still giving options for only GalaxyS i9000.
Rom manager on touch wiz and pool party will serve you no purpose. When you first open RM you should have been doing "confirm phone model" as Samsung Fascinate (MTD). And agree to having installed cwm 3.????? or what ever it says. But once again the latest jt kernel on RM is v6 and he is arbitrarily up to v11 almost. RM comes in handy for someone running CM7 and gets the nightlies. I use it personally as my own polish theme engine on pool party. Install rom from sd option and choose one of my own badass themes and I let it do its thing.
good day.
Chopper, that's my point. When I first load RM it asks to confirm phone model and has 2 options. Both options are GalaxyS i9000 (one being MTD), no Fascinate. I would just like to have it working in case I went back to CM7.

I told you why...any eh09/ei20 rom is not verizon, so when you are on one of those roms it will come up as i9000. You need to odin back to a verizon rom for rom manager to show your device as a fascinate. Again I would stay away from rom manager anyways. It just causes more confusion that its worth. Yes it works ok for changing nightlies on cm7, but your better off manually flashing in cwm.
any eh09/ei20 rom is not verizon, so when you are on one of those roms it will come up as i9000
Thanks, I didn't understand that part. I'll leave it alone then. Thanks

no problem!
I installed Cyanogenmod 7 a week ago, and everything was pretty much working fine.
Randomly today, all 4 of the soft buttons stopped working in the middle of me using my phone. I believe I was checking scores on an NFL app. Regardless, reapplying the CM7 zip didn't fix it. I tried factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Nothing.
Decided to try to reroot. Reapplied ED05, which is what I did before I installed CM7. Got back to essentially factory... soft buttons still don't work. Reinstalled CM7... took, but soft buttons won't work.
I thought I read somewhere that this is an issue with gapps, but I can't seem to find that page or people discussing it again. Installing gapps again didn't work.
I'm willing to get my phone back to it's most basic level, and even erase the SD card if I need to, but not sure how to clear my phone moreso than my reverting back to ED05.
Thanks for your input guys.
Also, I had reinstalled my apps using Titanium, but not the app data. Again, everything was just fine for a week.
Also, having done a bunch of flashing and what not, I dont' know what happened, but now when I long press the power button, the menu comes up. When I try to use volume up/down to navigate to power off, all I get is volume going up and down
So, i know this thread is sort of dead, but this happened to my fascinate a while back with a version of CM7 mtd (55 maybe?)... I'm fairly convinced that the sensors for the buttons (and the lights for that matter) are completely shot, but I can't really test that. I have flashed back to stock, re-rooted it,and done everything I can think of to fix it.
You probably messed the phone up for good... my advice (if you haven't already done it): get a new phone.
I've noticed that when I revert back to stock ED05, and flash CM7 on top of that, it doesn't work right. minor to major glitches appear...
What i did was flash back to stock ED05, then ran the update to Gingerbread EH03... Then flashed CM7 with Glitch v13 kernel. seemed to fix a lot of my issues.
idk if this helps or it's just a flook, but just sayin...
Will try this out

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm having the same issues as the OP with failing soft keys after flashing through CM7 to an android 4.1 based ROM, Paranoid Android. Is the Glitch kernel built into Cyanogenmod 7 or did you load it separately?

If you are already on ICS just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash. If not just flash up to ICS and flash kernel with ROM (same cwm session). You may want to do some reading in that thread first to make sure you get right version for your ROM.
