A good friend of mine is getting the Fascinate today, and I was going to get her rooted and running 2.2. I've been digging through the Dev forum here, but I wanted opinions.... which ROM do you use, if you use any?
Also, any good theme suggestions? I'm looking for something lighter, whites and reds or blues would be wonderful.
Thanks all!
Superclean 2.9.2. Themes would either be HTC Sense, Gingerbread, or Nitro's themes.

I'm using the latest Superclean as always and right now I'm really diggin Nitro's Ultimate Honeycomb.
Cool.... we'll give Superclean a shot and I'll run those themes by her.
Any idea also if Fugutweaks works with it? I use it on my phone, and wow, does it make a difference...

I suggest against rooting someones phone and flashing anything. It leads to nothing but problems. Instead lead them here and teach them to do it on their own. Otherwise ur going to have her calling you with questions our something not working yadda yadda yadda

Helped one of my friends with fascinate to root and install a rom. He ended up complaining and complaining about how his phones not working anymore since he tried to install something else. (that was not compatible with the phone at all)

I've rooted for many of my friends with some reliable roms. Sure they might ask you some time about a problem, but most of the time its fine.

Her uncle is a developer, so the phone is going to be rooted no doubt... and I'm going to teach her how to root, flash and ODIN. No worries, I've taught several people how to do all this.

Sorry guys but Im new to this, and need help. Had my vibrant on 2.2 rooted but couldnt get cwm so odin back to 2.1 , so now I want to be on froyo. Whats the best and easier way without loosing root? Thankss
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Best(only?) way would probably be flashing one of the custom ROMs.
So I need to flash which rom? Sorry noob here.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Could I go to rom manager and flash one of the 2.2 roms?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah flash whatever(froyo) you want...recommend researching flashing first however just in case something goes wrong. Recommend Bi Winning V3 from the Development area btw.
You could also flash many and see which one you like more.
I like hearthen's (I think?) SGS II clone.
I just LOVE the way it looks and it's pretty smooth, if I might say so.
Also, TeamWhiskey's Bionix NextGen is one of the best ROMs I've tried... if you can stand the fact that it's just blue everywhere, it's excellent.
Personally, I like my shiny colors, that's why even if Im a TW fangirl, I stuck to SGS II Clone.
I personally like trigger, but just look around and see which one you like best. My set up is as follows:
Rom: trigger 3.0.1
Modem: kb5
Kernal: overstock 1.4.3
Theme: vibrant HD 1.4

What kind of a kick are you on IE: you want touchwhiz or AOSP looks. I for one am on a AOSP'ish kick right now. Running Biwinning 3.0 with the SGS II theme and launcher2 from the G2. I read alot during the middle of the night so 2.2.1 is an absolute must since the capacitive buttons don't light up while turning a page or scrolling the screen. On top of that I am running the bullet 1.48 kernel and it is as smooth as butter. Last but certainly not least that kernel allows a screen off profile of 400-100 so my battery life while not in use is fantastic. I'd say figure out what you want out of the phone and test until everything clicks how you want. If a rom isn't what you want look-wise cruise through all the great themes we have and have that decide which rom to run. Options are vast as it stands now.
I recommend the MIUI 360 rom.

I've been with team whiskey since nero-bionix 1.3.2. Now my 2 favorites are project v and m11

CM7 and MIUI roms are pretty great. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll be just fine. You can flash CM7 or MIUI over 2.2 roms by disabling voodoo first. Once that's done you can flash away. Be sure to grab a copy of the ka5 or ka7 radio/modems just in case you end up with no signal afterwards.
get your ass on CM7 before i slap you onto it.
Trust me once you try cm7 you won't look back to bionix ever again or any 221 rom.

Agreed always was about the Bionix roms until i tried bi-winning. Version 3 that was just released is a little buggy yet. But 2 has always been solid! Its nice with bullet kernel & bi-black gloss theme.

I went eugenes gingerclone, bionix 1.3.1, and now project-v with bali and Im pretty excited about it honeslty. Battery life is fantastic, speed is great. Im waiting for themes now haha
Vibrant - project-v, bali 1.8.6UV kernel.
I think I found my sweet spot at ZenDroid with Bali 1.86 UV. After all, this device is still made to be a phone, and while CM7 based roms are fun to play around with for a few days or weeks, I still need a stable rom for my daily use. But if I get bored, I always have my HD7 around to play around with before I come back the the good ole Vibrant.
On another note, this community has certainly gotten a lot more fun and better. Certainly much much better than that HD7 community (if you can call it one at all).
Bi Winning v3. Great rom! Other EDT roms are good too.

I used CM7 for about a month and it is without a doubt the best, fastest ROM on the Vibrant. However, I just switched back to BiWinning 3 and I really love having GPS and a battery that easily makes it through the day instead of fighting at every step to survive the day.
BIONIXV1.3.1.! ITS FAST. ITS STABLE. IT HAS GREAT BATTERY LIFE. IT HAS A GOOD GPS.IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BUGS. IT HAS...... oh never mind
Try ZenDroid. I get good battery, the theme is awesome, its fast and its stable.

I have to agree with XPLANE and philliple. Since I've been using ZenDroid I haven't even been checking for new roms. It's stripped down, super fast and stable, and very aesthetically pleasing.

They need to be modified, but yes, they CAN be ported to the original Vibrant.
So if I just flash any of those roms I might have problems? ??

We have three better versions already here. They are 2.3.4 so we are a step ahead of Vibrant 4G.

Check the dev section, several choices.. explodingboy might be a little biased, lol.
I've tried both simplyhoney and blitzkrieg. Both are excellent ROMs in my opinion and if you can Odin and follow instructions you should be fine.

I've been using Simply Honey 3.6 for two days now and Im happy with it. Easy to flash too. I made sure to Odin the GB bootloaders too so I can see recovery.

On the dev forum we have alot of new roms, every week with updates
So I owned the epic, played with Midnight, played with ACS and finally said **** it and went with a NS4g... I haven't touch an epic in a few months now and was wondering if you guys have CM7 yet, or any other good AOSP-like alternatives.
My mom and sister are still using epics and are sick of the sprint UI and bloat and I was looking to help them out by loading something different no their phone.
Any suggestions?
Well no aosp yet.... but syndicate rom frozen is veryy battery efficient and fast... and I would use genocide with it, atleast untill vision kernel comes out
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
IMO... as mentioned above,
rom: srf 1.2

Also, ACS just stated a new AOSP project. It looks promising, though not at a usable stage, yet.

Everything is pretty much the same since you left. Development on every rom has progressed but the selection and pros/cons of each one are about the same.

I've been using Genocide/SRF with almost no problems. The only FCs I had were from flashing an Email patch from Midnight on top of Syndicate. As long as I didn't try to mix ROMs, I was fine.
Are any devs working on cooking up more ec05 roms? Reason being is tht I feel like we are never going 2 see a official GB rom anytime soon with the way samsung Bull sh*ts everyone.

From what I see, v6 supercharger is exactly like autokiller from the market (The memory optimizer, not an actual task killer).
