[Q] Installing a new ROM - Questions - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i am wanting to install the Evil Fascination ROM and i currently have ICS build 6.5 with the glitch kernel. Evil Fascination says that it is a ED01 based rom, so what exactly does that mean? I have the DI01 factory samsung Odin package, so if i odin that, and then install the CWM recovery and wipe data/cache, will this rom work?
I am just confused and i have read all over but not found my answer. Thanks for anyones help!

Evil fascination was a froyo based rom from about a year ago that is very outdated. Ed01 was the first official Verizon over the air update to android 2.2(froyo) and evil fascination was a custom version of that.
I would recommend updating to your current rom to ths 7.1 or one of the others ics (AOKP, gummy, or codename)
But if you just want to try a really old rom for fun then go for it.

Really what I want is a nice dark ROM (like evil fascinate) that is based on 2.2 that isn't that outdated
The reason for the switch is because I need to run an Android app that doesn't fully work on ics so I wanted to switch to a different one

Unless you need/love touchwiz I would suggest CM7 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385624
With cm7's theme Chooser app you can browse themes available on play store (market) that will satisfy your needs.

SUPERDARK aint based on GB ,
get the EH03 (official verizon GINGERBREAD) based ROMS , they are all extremely good and work pretty well, provided you follow the instructions carefully.
here are the three ( not in any order )
1.. [ROM][KERNEL][RECOVERY][02.03.2012] GeeWiz 2.6 EH03 TouchWiz Debloated
2.. (Rom){EH03}[1.19.12] SuperClean3 Milestone 2
3..[Rom]{2.7.12}[EH03] TSM Resurrection 2.2 (touchwiz4/tsm parts)
the superclean and the resurrection Roms have many themes available , there are ca few available for GEEWIZs well in there .
chk here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218257
just choose the ones u like
all these are Solid ROMs , just depends which of these ur fascinate prefers .
my 2 cents .

aokp has a dark theme...

no the latest froyo release is 2.2.2
Gingerbread is 2.3.x and yes there is a tsm resurrection 2.3.4 rom and a powerwashed eh09 2.3.4 rom. Also there is mtd based 2.3.5 aosp,cm7,miui all can be found in the dev section. The 2.3.4 roms I mentioned are closest to stock gingerbread and easiest to install. I would recomend those first for new users.

[Q] Flash on GB roms

Why on all the GB roms does flash play very slow and choppy? Not any rom in specific, but all of them.

I haven't had any issues with CM7 or MIUI using Flash. Are you referring to the leaked i9000 Gingerbread ROMs?

Yea MIUI and CM7 work great. Same with the Stock 2.3 on the forums.. What ROMs specificly have you been using?
I haven't used any of the MIUI or CM7 roms. I have tried simply honey and stock, phiremod fusion, malice 5.0 gingerzen and one more I can't remember

Just got a new Fascinate and im lost i had a mytouch 4g and it looks wayyyy different to root and get roms..so im just asking what is the best rom that is stable and gives great battery life? and is their a easy way to root?
Go to the development forum. There's a sticky titled "fascinate roll up thread." Start there.

Very good advice, I'm running miui version 1.9.16 with glitch kernel and is super stable for me and I love it, however generally speaking pry not as stable/everything works as powerwashed GB.

All of flappjaxx's (the collective) roms are great, I'm currently on his LE2 ROM with FJ mod 5/22/12, it is awesome.
All you need to do is follow his directions to a T and you should not have any issues flashing from your current set up.
You do not need to flash anything separate, is all in the ROM.

We have a lot of great ICS Roms to choose from. I think it comes down to personal preference (driven by what you do with your phone). I'm a huge fan of Hybrid RC IV.

I would normally say flash to ICS. But! There is the chance of the EU bug. Therefore I would try to flash to jelly bean first if your on stock and rooted maybe flash a custom froyo then go up to jellybean. Don't forget gapps
