What is the most customizable, smoothest, fastest, most stable kikat rom for the fascinate as of this month?
Users need to make this determination on their own and independantly - as best or fast for you can be determined by a number of variables and factors.
As these type thread always end up in arguments over which rom is "best", this thread is closed.

Hi all, I've read all the Newbie warnings, guides etc... and I've got an excellent idea of how to do it. Now I just need to decide what to do! Specifically I'm looking for recommendations for the best ROM, kernel, mods/etc. for a first-timer with average requirements.
My requirements in order of importance:
-Gingerbread ROM which is STABLE
-Good and RELIABLE battery life (no surprise battery drains)
-CPU clock mgmt (easily choose o/c for performance or u/c for battery life)
-Fast everyday system performance, data speeds, and on common features all work and everything is fairly stable!
I realize there are trade-offs, but I'm hoping people with experience with the Optimus V (or compatible builds) will weigh-in on what they think offers the best combination of the above features for a newbie... THANKS ALL! & +1's to all who give a thoughtful answer.

This ROM doesn't work on the Optimus V. You'll have to look around in the Optimus V development section.
Thanks for the replies. I know I can go to the Optimus V Dev forum to find out what's available, but I also know there are several flavors of what is technically working right now and from those threads its hard to discern the best place to start for a newbie.
Anyone who has tried several builds care to weigh in on what package combo you think would best meet the goals in the first post?

Well, at first sight this seems to be a rather staightforward question with an obvious answer at hand. But if you dig deeper, than you'll find it more difficult to choose among the various possibilities. Here are some hints.
A. Roms
(1) Stock rom from Samsung (newest version is currently 2.3.6).
As far as I can tell and reading about other users experiences, it has the best battery running time. And performance wise I can't tell any disadvantage or lag either.
(2) Roms based on Ketuts kernel found in CF-Root.
(2.a) CF-Root b82 version and below
The system performance regarding battery and lag should be the same, because the kernels are stock (by Samsung) ones. But in reality the modder of the rom package may have used some scripting tweaks (init.d) or heavily themed the look. It may make the battery running time and/or the responsiveness of the system better or worse. But any modifications also bring the risk for bugs (wlan, sim-toolkit, ...).You should skip through the corresponding thread and find out.
(2.b) CF-Root b82.ex version and up
From here onwards Ketut has begun to tweak and build his own kernel based on the stock kernel configuration parameters (/proc/config.gz).
(3) Roms based on Cyanogenmod 7
This is an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod for the s5830.
It is well known, that it suffers under a battery drain issue. On the other hand you will get the most out of the device regarding lagfree performance. Recommended for heavy gamers at the cost of battery duration.
My recommendation is now that you goes from (1) to (3) and try them out to experience yourself, which package does really fullfills your/her needs. Because no one can tell you for sure, which rom is the best suited for you, because it is a matter of personal taste and preference.
Here you can find some introductionary materials into the world of modding to make the s5830 a better device accommodating to your needs.

-> [TUTORIAL] How to upgrade, root, flash Recovery & Custom ROM Samsung Galaxy
B. Tweaks
(1) Make battery last a little bit longer.
If you're really serious about finding ways to extend the battery running time, than you should read the whole thread, because usefull informations are scattered and not only in the OP.
-> [Hint/Tip]Best way to save battery
(2) Lagfree scripts (only applicable to rooted device with init.d enabled)
This scripts may also contain some tweaks, which will claim to also raising the battery running time of the device.

Which roms (or rom families, really) are best for which purposes? I know some are designed to be fast and lightweight, while others go for the richest user experience, or other specialized purpose/situation.
My question is how can I find out the aim of the various roms?
The rom threads focus mostly on features provided and what rom family (if any) they based it on. Since I have no idea the aim of the original rom family (aokp, cm, miui, etc.) it's hard to decide which one is right for me.
Which player do you have?

Stock ROMs, which most of the customs ROMs out there are based on, are probably the most stable but the performance won't be as good.
CM7 and CM9 are slim and super fast, while MIUI, which is Cyanogen-based, has a bit more eye candy at the cost of performance. AOKP is very similar to CM9, except as far as I know the team has added many tweaks and features to make the experience more pleasant. Both are good choices if you're looking for ICS.
Hope this clears up some of the questions you may have
Thanks, Klin. That's exactly the sort of info I'm looking for.
and I'm running the USA 5.0, fgcu. It was either this or an ipad, and avoiding itunes was worth the extra $20 (ipods were on sale that week).
If you are looking to install a rom, I recommend what I have listed down below. The dev of the rom is currently updating it to 2.3.6 and I can't wait for it. It will deffinitely fix the wifi drop bug and a slightly better Gingerbread version. You do need to install a custom rom though and the one below is also a good one too.

This was my rom of choice back when I was running GB. In my opinion it is the most stable rom available for the Player 5.0. This rom is pretty fast and light as it is based on a stock GB rom.
I would also recommend this rom as it is also very stable.
For general use I would say use GB as everything works, but you can also get ICS roms if you want but all of the ICS roms in the development section have pretty major issues e.g. the camera does not work. Take a look in the development section and read the user comments/reviews/bug reports
I've decided to make a small list of ROMs, as well as their performance and stability, on the i717 as many people are split due to the many ROMs that are provided by our hard-working dev team
-BlackSTAR XI: A personal favorite. One of the most stable and fast ROMs I've seen for the i717. Based on stock, but different and much faster. The only downside is that some might not like the theme provided by the ROM, but it's still pretty nice.
-CyanogenMod Official Build: A beautiful and fast AOSP ROM, but very buggy although it's on "stable". ROM deteriorates over time, HW overlays don't work, phone reboots occasionally on its own, and my SD card wasn't detected after a month of usage.
-Unoffical CM 11: A good AOSP KK ROM, but has HW overlay and stability issues.
-Padawan: A version of stock with some simple tweaks. Quite stable.
-BlackStar BlackJelly: A ROM similar to BlackSTAR XI. Still very stable but I personally prefer BlackSTAR XI.
-Candy5: Laggy, but a good venture into LL as it is still being developed. Not suitable for day-to-day use.
More ROMs will be added as I have time to test them.

Be advised that you don't want to venture into the "Best Rom" realm. XDA does not allow this. Opinions and individual device results vary.

Hello friends .
There has been many polls regarding best roms , kernels etc etc etc
I think people who follow XDA and use custom roms are generally the people who are either not satisfied with stock experience or they want to tweek user interface , functionality and other aspects.
But I being from the first category of people , who wants only performance, battery and only key aspects of the phone seeks a ROM which can satisfy my hunger for stability .
I am sure there wil be many people here who wish to know the best rom for this phone for everyday use .
Key points I seek in a ROM -
1) a nice performance when playing heavy games like asphalt 9
2) a battery back up which can give sot 10 hours or more may be
3) a good camera app support
4) android pie
5) regular system updates

probably go on discussion / question answers forum
Just use miui.
Voted for OOS.. ??
ANYWAYS.. all the things you're looking for are all present in MIUI 10 GLOBAL STABLE.. hehehehe..
any ROM with good notch control? Especially per-app pre-configurable. Everything else is just depended on personal usage and custom kernels can change their behavior as well
"best" is subjective and the poll/thread is in the wrong forum.
XDA and custom ROMs exist to give us end users options, not to decide which ROM is best. It is very disrespectful to the developers that have spent hours every day to develop these awesome ROMs. The whole fun in flashing custom ROMS is to find out which ROM fits your needs, which ROM fits my needs. It is not a contest, it is development. It says it right there in the name of the site. XDA developers. Flash and find your "best" rom. Have a nice day.
The best rom for me is MIUI 10 GLOBAL.STABLE..
???
It easily bested my kirin 980 in sheer performance particularly in gaming. ????
Stop asking for the best ROM (for battery, for performance or any other criteria), it doesn't exist. If there was one true best ROM, do you think there would be other ROMs?
There is only subjectively best and that's different for everyone. Everyone has different usage patterns and preferences, so when asking for the best, you get the best for them, not the best for you. The only way you'll find the best one for you is by trying them yourself. They're all free, anyway.
Also, keep in mind that the devs are not competing against each other and they're not trying to win you over or anything. They all have different design goals, they're not trying to be better than one another. They're just trying to be different. Asking for the best is quite disrespectful towards the devs.
I've tried almost all of the Roms developed, all are equally awesome in their own right. To be honest if you want crazy battery life any ROM will give you that until you place Google Services on it. As for gaming their are kernels to over clock and push limits of hardware if that's your thing.
