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

Evil fascination was a froyo based rom from about a year ago that is very outdated.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Really what I want is a nice dark ROM (like evil fascinate) that is based on 2.2 that isn't that outdated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.

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 .

[Q] quick rom question

Im currently stock/rooted on official ics and id like to know which roms are compatible with official ics, are all of them?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That doesn't make sense...a Rom would replace the stock Rom, so compatibility isn't an issue....if you mean can you flash a new Rom from that one, then yes.

Guess it was a dumb question. I just thought that since we had a leaked version of ics and an official version that there might be issues flashing say a rom from 2 months ago while running official ics. So there is no difference between the leak and official so i can flash whatever rom i want.

Flash up or down. It does not matter.

That's the pure stock rom by samsung mate. Android Revolution is same + some mods (which I don't like). If you want AOSP google stock look - all of them are based on CM9/10

[Q] does anyone know of any lightweight samsung's ICS rom?

I want to flash Paranoid Android (PA) rom. It's based on CM10. I heard that if I flash PA from Samsung's JB rom, which I'm using right now, it will break NFC, S Beam, and WiFi. So that's why I have to start with Samsung's ICS rom. The reason for wanting a lightweight version of rom is because I have slow internet here. So, help me out, friends.
EDIT - Sorry, wrong thread....

it's JB rom? oh bummer. if I flash Slim ICS, won't it break WiFi, NFC and S Beam too? Or is this problem specific to CM and CM-based rom only?

this is not a rom, mate. this is just a cleaning script, that is to be flashed after flashing stock samsung rom.
Never mind mate. I think I'll just flash this old ICS rom I got with Odin. Then root and directly install PA. Thanks for trying to help. I really appreciate it. Cheers

Google now deodexed?

I want to flash Google now, which I have done before on a custom rom. It says you must be on a deodexed rom. I'm thinking of going to Santod's rom. Do I really need to be on a deodexed rom to flash Google now?

Yes, it needs to be deodexed.
I have 4 versions of the stock rom posted, two of which are deodexed.
As well as 7 other custom roms I have made available, all of which come with Google Now already cooked in.(not the stock ones of course)
Thanks. Your awesome. Are all the roms on one page with ics? Or a different location? And only the stock ics roms need radio flashed, correct?
