did i miss something here? can you re elaborate?`
next time pls post in the right section, thing belongs to Q&A section.
now on topic.. this has been asked so many times and to be honest you will not get a straight answer because it all comes down to preference. some roms are built for speed & power while some are build for long battery life.
so my advise to you is read through the comments of the roms posted try as many as you can til you find what is best to meet your needs. and when you get more experience flashing, you might want to try to mix and match ROMs, Kernels, and Modems to get exactly what your looking for.
peace~
I would have to say Axura 2.2 is by far the best that I have tried, very smooth and fast. At this point I have had no issues!!!
Sry I'm new to posting, I read only most the time.

what in froyo b.s. is going on here?
if you are looking for a fast rom to get straight to the point then download a stock rom and flash with odin but if the quest. is about fast rom then you have some choices. I personally feel that nero is speedy without a lag fix but so is axura. have fun testing. not enough new stuff for me to flash binge this weekend. lol
I like ginger clone
stock JL4!!! Everything just... works
ginger clone works really good for me. I dont even feel a lag fix is necessary for this one

Go to the Droid Incredible forum and download and flash ANY of their roms.
WAY better.

Not cool. Post reported.
I'm currently running the Ginger Clone. It's an easy install (assuming you're familiar with Clockwork). All you do is put the zip file on your internal sd card, boot to recovery, and install the zip. Easy as can be.
However, if you've never flashed a rom before, boot up Odin and get familiar with it. Some people make Odin seem like it's this programmer-only type of toy, but it's super easy and user-friendly as well. You just need to follow directions on what file to put where (.pit files go in the PIT slot and .tar files go under the PDA area). Odin is sort of a "holy ****, I can't do anything with this phone anymore" option. It will get you back to BONE stock, how your phone shipped.
I've been thinking about writing a guide to flashing and recovery if anyone thinks that would help? I'm kind of a novice myself, but I've familiarized myself enough with flashing and Odin that I think I could write a guide if there was a demand for it.
Man this is why new folks get discouraged with posting. Aside from the fact that a new guy posted in the wrong section (easy mistake) telling him to load a ROM not intended for his phone potentially bricking it is jacked up. Why would anyone do that? Even if you were successful loading it to your phone.

he best ROM will be one that will adapt to user needs.
So, just testing to see many different ROMs.
This type of thread does not help and may cause flames.
Although the idea is not bad, it is best you find out more about each ROM and draw your own conclusion!

Hello....
So i found a guy on craigslist to trade my Droid 2 for the Fasicnate, drove thirfty miles to his house and listend to him freak out for 35 mins as i explained the benifits of my droid 2 and it being rooted and he seriously begain hyperventelating because he was dead straight afraid of being arrested........ I was about to just.... i dont know, the word run came to mind... Anyway.
WHat a beautiful phone, i mean it you guys have got something here, and im glad i added this to my growing list of android device's this is my fifth since my first love The G1.
Anyways,
I presumed and though i could install Cyanogenmod on it that was the immediant reason i got it, i didnt do any reaseachr and now know that u can but it runs really ruff and isnt supported... so.
I modded via this cyanogen wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Fascinate:_Rooting
i got all the way to the part about installing rom manager and flashing CWM,
However i went to do this (yes im rooted) and all i get is when i flash cwm and i try to reboot into cwm from rom manager to make a backup is i get to the samsung 2e recovery screen ..
A little more research i see something that i need to install or excuse me i need a program called odin, and i need the cwm packaged via this thread but the CWM package is no longer hosted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
But, one im not completly sure that is what i need to do and two im seein what i think is a bunch of diff versions of baseband like D101 ect However i see on mine that the last of my baseband is Dh12 actually its all s:i500.04 v.dh12
SHould i be downgrading here? And its best to assume while i have rooted and taken the virginity of the G1, Eris, Droid, Droid 2 Droid X and now this beyond what i have described here is my limited experience with this phone.
Also bear in mind that this phone was factory reset when i got it, and was 100% virgin. It is now rooted but that is it. I really wanted to get back to "my roots" like my G1 and have a fully modable phone from kernal on up and was stoked to get this. But im lost and i cant seem to find much help else where, or what appears to be people telling me to reroot and i know that is incorrect.
Can you all point me in the right direction please!
My sincere apprecation and thanks for your help and acceptace of my sporatic typeing.
Don't have a chance to read this atm but before you get flamed..you should post this in the general or Q and A section instead..

Instructions.
First, welcome to the Fascinate forums. Second, please try to faimilariaze yourself with the rules here. This thread should have gone in Q&A and you are quite likely to get flamed for it eventually.
As for your questoin-- We don't have a fully functioning AOSP, CM6, or 7 yet but what we have is pretty close. If you can live without MMS, Camcorder, and BT headset then you should give one them a shot. If not, stick with one of the Touchwiz builds such as Nitro's Evil Fascination or Adrylnalyn's Superclean.
Nitro has linked you to all the necessary software. As for using Odin, please reference this thread.

Nitro always looking out! One of our most valuable members I might add.
I would strongly reccommebd flashing Nitro's Evil Fascination Froyo rom and perhaps one of his themes once you get that far. You won't regret it. Trust me. Super sexy and super fast and he's very friendly and knowledgable. Keeps all his work updated on a regular basis too. Good luck and congrats on your new Fascinate!

Got all the links you could ever ask for from nitro. Just install Odin on your comp and install the Samsung drivers. Then just go to the link for the older cwm and d/l the necessary file.
Remove battery from the phone and while you're holding the volume down.button plug the phone into.your.computer. it'll show a yellow android and say downloading.
Click PDA and choose the file you downloaded for cwm 2.5 and click start. Once it.says pass on Odin you're done.
Even easier, get one of the packagaes from one of these threads it includes adryns froyo rom, the modem for.froyo and the recovery. I don't feel like finding the link but if you get that it's easy its just one big file that you flash with Odin (the same.way you do with cwm) and when its done you got a froyo fascinate with a solid touchwiz rom from adryn

Nitro thank you for all the links that saved me a lot of searching. And everyone else ty for your help.
As for the flaming i could care less it shows lack of maturity and what someone wants to bash me for is simply a waste of time. I dont care what some moron in his moms basement who is jumping from tab to tab from porn, to there wow or pokemon fetish and XDA. One would hope because of the intregrity here they would get banned.. Anywho.
And lastly the reason for posting here is because i didnt figure that the forum mentioned was classified for my question because it has nothing to do with "general" and everything to do with "development".. So, my apoligies if i was wrong and ill attempt to look a little better next time.
Thank you.

Hey Mortland,
Welcome to these forums. I am still fairly new here at XDA. Just to clarify and help you understand what everyone was referring to. I believe if I read them correctly, the rules about the Development section say posts and especially new threads in the development section should be limited to things that are directly related to development of a ROM, kernel, or MOD. This is so the development forum is used for improvements to existing ROMs, kernels, or MODS, or development of new ROMS, kernels, or MODS so the developers doing this work do not have to wade through a laundry list of threads or non-development questions in order to get the information they need. So if you have questions about development, or want to report a bug or problem you have discovered with a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then you come here and post. If it is a question on how to install or use a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then I guess it is supposed to go over in the Q&A section. I know it can seem kind of confusing, so the only reason for me posting is to hopefully help clear up any of the confusion. Hope this has helped, and definitely follow nitrogliceryne's advice and help. Good luck.
Mods and devs,
Sorry if this long post has cluttered things up even more. Just trying to help.

Can't we just request that MOD move it to the Q&A section? Especially since some good links were posted there? No sense being a wanker about it, except that it can be fun if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I know it makes all the "experienced" users feel good to bash every new guy that posts in the Development Thread but something really should have occurred to the community at large by now:
If this is happening something like 15 times per day, maybe the thread title should be renamed to Developers ONLY or Not for Q&A (or something like that)...although I'm kind of guessing that it's an auto-naming thing that they have set up for each new device that gets listed on the forums, so that might not be an option.
Usually I'm not very into getting threads moved when they're placed where they are but this thread is just straight ridiculous. Hyperventilating, seriously?
We need to have some sort of HTML implemented that allows any user to click the button and flag the thread for being moved. Not flagged for being inappropriate or reporting, just flagged for need of being moved to another section.

Was trying to reimage this phone using Odin v1.3 a usb malfunction error message came up Ive been trying to use it to several computers since then, but the same message kept coming up and of course the odin could recognise the devise and i went up turn the phone on normally all i have is a black screen with a phone and yellow explanation and computer logos on the screen the explanation sign is in between the phone and computer logos and now I can not do anything with this phone...I think my only option is for somebody to help me to find some image that will run on the SD card instead of the USB port.
Please help!
Thank you!

Hey there guy,,, sure looks like you have been doing some reading and searching ,, just maybe not the most up to date information...
You need to look in this [Guide]

It has The answers, info and links I believe you need to get to over the hump...
Sometimes it may help to print those instructions and cross off steps as you do them,, to make sure you don't accidentally overlook anything

I have been a contributing member forever, I never post useless things. I remember when the first CM7 thread came along there were instructions right in it on how to revert back to 2.2 if you wanted to.
Now there are 30 cm7 threads and I cant find links to anywhere, and a search is useless.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
I just odin to stock, afaik thats still the best way to get back.

Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?
A: The easiest way is to go back to stock using Odin and flashing a full firmware (including PIT file) with repartition checked (Odin One-Click does this by default on Captivate)

3. The rom that I did find that seemed to be what I was looking for says file not found on the download site, Which is about what every file I try downloading here today says, I assumed by the dates on age of the View there might not be anything currently avaiable.

Which android version do you want to use?
If the download links do not work you have to report it within the respective thread.
I got what I need from xda member kevinrocksman. He helped me a lot.turns out a lot of the Roms on here are no longer supported. I am now on stock HC Rom with jmz kernal overcloked to 1800. And it works great.
I guess what I was looking for was a stock GB sence Rom that allowed the pen to work on everything. And remove everything from sprint. But I found that putting it in airplane mode does the same. I did compensate the member who helped me. Wasn't looking for a free handout.
I recently had to restore a backup due to a bad Rom download/install. The only backup I could get to work wad an old 4.1.1 with viperRom 1.3.5. I hate to ask this way, bit could someone point me in the direction to get back up to a 4.3 or 4.4 Rom? What recovery do I need, radios, etc...
Thanks in advance.
