I know this is another one of those very opinionated threads, but this isn't for MY phone. I rooted my friends Fascinate over a year ago and flashed a ROM for him. It did really well for a long time, but just recently his phone started getting really buggy and slow. Just wondering what you guys recommend for a really nice stable, but quick ROM?
Also...bit off topic, but are there any good Audio Mods for the fascinate..?
Any of the ones on the main page of the development section are quality Roms some may have a quirk or two but generally nothing that can't have a workaround,,
you just really have to embrace what jellybean is and what the developers have done for us
Which is give us the very latest/best android is offering right now that that runs on a package 3+ yrs old
Also spend some time and just read their main page and last page or two to see what they are all about...
Each one will require some degree of personalization to make it fit your/friends style/needs
With that said here are the main ones:::
:: CM10.1 nightly::
::BAKED blackbean-7:: Thread Link
:: AOKP PUB :: Thread Link
:: CM10.1 JELLYBRO (makelegs_Euroskank ) :: Thread Link

Dam they got Jelly Bean running on the Fascinate?? I had a Fascinate way back in the day before I got a Thunderbolt...couldn't even get Jelly Bean on that haha...now I have a Nexus...like I said this is for my friend. I running PA on my nexus and LOVE it so maybe I will try that on his phone, but thanks for the suggestions!
Oh...what recovery do you recommend? Do you have to use ODIN at all...I don't have it setup on my computer and I remember it being a pain in the ass to setup and use
The new PA is an awesome choice

Well he is already rooted with a custom ROM so I am guessing I don't have to use all those steps again...I can just go into recovery, wipe and flash
Depends on what rom he is on...
Section 4 deals with foolproof way to go odin to jb,,, with links and all...just have to follow very closely

Ahh...well he is on an ICS ROM...I will just go the ODIN way I suppose
Last part of section 4...
*For those currently on a ICS rom and want to upgrade to a Jellybean rom or vise versa. Just download the rom of choice to sd, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then flash rom...should be no need to go all the way back to stock unless your having alot of issues with force closes and what not.
Only thing to add is you'll need to flash the ROM 2-3 times because of a new partition layout...
Don't do anything extra... And it should work fine

So keep flashing it over in recovery 2-3 times??
Any recommendations on a good recovery for him?
I highly recommend CM 10.1, although I had a weird issue lately where no matter what performance settings I was using my music would skip around every 10 min or so, but I'm sure jt will find a fix for it eventually. If you don't constantly play music on your phone like I do then you probably wouldn't mind that little gripe. I've been on Helly Bean now for a few days with no problems, which is basically CM 10.1 with a few extras and Devil Kernel baked in. I know Paranoid is a really good rom, but I haven't tried it myself. We're lucky enough to have great developers that all make excellent roms so just take your pick of the popular ones and have at it

He just means it will abort the flash to warn you that your phone is being switched to the new partition layout and you will lose all your data... it's just a formality and nothing to worry about. All you need to do is flash again after the warning and it'll do it for real
---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------
Oh and as far as audio mods, there are a few out there (Acid mod I think?) but if you use CM 10.1 it will come with DSP manager which lets you tweak it a bit, but personally I just use Power Amp and the EQ on that is just phenomenal and I don't even feel like I need anything else because of how good it works.
Alright thanks guys! Just trying to figure out what recovery to upgrade to...maybe TWRP?
Yes it will pop up and say error 7 or warning, but just go ahead and chose reinstall the same zip file again... And it will give error again, so repeat... After the 3rd time,,,, then reboot
The cwm recovery is built in
The hellybean roms have their own with some extra options,,, plus if you want to flash their kernel,,, there is a thread with the info
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
If you want to use TWRP then go to this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133358 but as hhp already pointed out, each rom comes bundled with it's own recovery so the only time you need to really flash your own is if you're coming from stock and flash CMW4 fixed for CM7

Ohh...weird...its been so long since I had a Fascinate and my TB and Nexus aren't that way haha. Thanks for all your help. I may just flash back to stock using Step 4 and then put PA on or something. His phone is pretty dam buggy, lots of force closes, or permission errors so I figure I will try to get it as cleaned up as possible
if lack of activity is any indicator(as in not too much complaints) then I just want to cast a vote for JellyBro. I am now on 2-25-13 version and its been pretty smooth and solid for me thus far.
it;s working well enough that I was considering setting up a device for my mom(who defintely doesn't have the patience for stuff that doesn;t work).
I use GeeWiz 2.8.1... it has Voodoo audio, and is super fast and smooth. Along with the KGB FA16 Kernel... All of which can be found in my sig including the theme.
I've tried dozens of mtds e.g ICS, JB, etc. and even GeeWiz 4.2... but the GW 2.8.1 is the most stable and fastest. You can also go with 2.9 from the main GeeWiz 2 thread. Even though it's Gingerbread... it's up there with all the newer roms for speed and dare I say even more stable than most newer Roms. AND.. Everything works... unlike a lot of the newer JB roms out there.
Hope that helps.

from what I remember, your going to have to ODIN back to the stock EH03 then up to geewiz , this is because both of partitioning and recovery differences.
.
You don't have to Odin back to stock. The link in my dropbox is a full wipe odin... it's just like going back to stock but not. Just odin the tar and you're good to go. Full eh03 support.

There's no clear thread on the overall state of the EI22 roms.
so I figured I'd make one given i wasted 3 hours of my life I won't get back testing these.
Testing Methodology:
I updated to EI22 by using ODIN to flash the EI22 repack by noobnl.
Then I booted to CWM and flashed the EC05toEI22 modem.zip
On Installing each rom I followed these steps:
1. Flashed rom 2. Wiped Data/Factory Reset 3x. 3. Flashed rom again. 4. Sacrified a Goat to the Samsung Gods.
On testing/verifying GPS functionality I would make sure it would lock. Reboot the phone. check for a lock again. and play with toggling on and off the GPS seeing if I could make it crash.
On testing/verifying WIFI/3G/4G was performed with Speedtest to confirm data connection.
turning it off. turning it on again. and reverifying with speedtest.
1. noobnl's Pre-Rooted DEODEX EI22 Repack w/ EC05 Modem.
WORKING: DATA/3G/4G/GPS/WIFI
Not Working: Nothing I could find.
2. [ACS] ICS V2
WORKING: DATA/3G/4G/WIFI
NOT WORKING: **GPS**
Notes: Best Looking Rom, also heavily modified for performance but GPS no worky.
3. ERA's LegendaryROM EI22 Beta 3 Rom.
Working: DATA/3G/4G/GPS/WIFI
Not Working: Nothing I could find.
Notes: Fairly plain rom aesthetically, modified quite a bit for performance.
but it has full functionality.
This will be updated as I flash other roms. Please feel free to add your own experiences.
Glad I'm not the only one with the gps issue on the ICS rom. Might just pull his themed apps and put them in the ERA rom until I have mine done.
Try Flashing ACS ICS after ERA Beta 3...
The GPS Remained functional for me.

I would be glad to try out that "Frankenstein" you are gonna piece together ( it will bring back memories of one of my previous favorite EC05 ROM )
Why would you not post a frankenstein on here. As long as you credit the developers. Ecooce made the best rom with his frankenstein. I miss it.

I've been running StarskyROM all day and have had only one issue with the dialertab.apk FC, but flashing k0nane's updated noCIQ MOD fixed it. ROM has been flawless since then, very speedy and stable. Tried out the rest of the EI22 ROM's and this has been my favorite one so far.

I've been wanting to do this for quite some time now actually. I love all the creativity of the ROMs and kernels coming down the pipe now, but I really don't like relying or waiting on others. I'd much rather do it myself. Only trouble is, even though I learn quickly, I have no real programming experience. I may have to just jump in though, as this is fascinating as hell to me.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]:
1. Face Unlock???
A. No Face Unlock will not be included as we don't have FFC.
2. My Phone Signal is too Low / Not reliable?
A. Please visit THIS Thread by Oxicottin for modems and pick one for your Area.Be sure to use the one's titled ICS.
3. I get assert error status '7' when installing the rom?
A. Install Glitch kernel first from CM7/MIUI, glitch doesn't check updater-script and build.prop, and will let you install the rom.
4. Deep Idle is not working an i get SOD?
A. There is an issue with our phones, and it isn't working yet. [Personally, i can confirm if you are on I9000 bootloaders, it does work, but the difference is not that big and hence is not recommended.
5. Android OS is consuming lot of battery???
A. It is not consuming lot of battery, it is a bug in 4.0.3 that displays high consumption, it has been solved in 4.0.4 and it will be implemented in this rom in the future versions.
This is totally going to be my daily driver. Thanks brother!!

Thank you very much, I have asked for help on this matter, as personally I don't use Facebook. Hopefully it will get solved sooner than later.
Swype, i will talk to Original themer Razer(x) and see if it can be done. It is not included in his base theme, so chances are slim.
Also for everyone, if Facebook sync is not working, Friendcaster can be used as an alternative, for Now.
Hi Guys,
Did anyone tried KingDroid ICS 1.6 ROM....any review or suggestion?...presently i am on CM9...is it worth flashing to it?
Dear abheshekk,
I am on v1.6 now and it is very smooth&stable... Cm9 is still in its early beta stage and may have much more bugs than tw based kingdroid v1.6... It is worth to flash according to me... V1.6 contains latest ported apps from sgs3 ics rom including toucwiz ux... Call rec is enabled and all spen stuff is working... I am very satisfied with v1.6...
Kind regards.

Amazing answer XD
as for his question i was and yes it's smooth stable and has great responses, worth flashing if you are lookng for something realy stable and has lots of features (without losing the hardware function like in CM9).

My point was when someone is asking a group of people about opinion on something I will keep quite when I haven't tried it. Posting for the sake of posting in a thread is not a great idea.

I'm on LPF + bootloader flashed using Dr.Ketan instructions. Does anyone moved from this LPF to KDv1.6?
how do you do it? no matter if it does wipe.
It's fine, but I like Rocket Rom more. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I ran with eybee's old ICS leak which was awesome.
Rocket Rom v2 + my SGS3 theme = smooth as hell.

Alternatively the OP could have read the KingDroid thread and make his own decision based on what people report in that thread instead of making a new one that clutters up the forum.
Try it. Rom, is very stable, new touchwiz is amazing and s voice works better than just installing the app on other ROM.

I'm using it right now, it's mostly smooth but google maps randomly FCs and after hanging up on phone calls it freezes for 5 seconds or so.

Yeah I'm getting that issue too! But otherwise it's a stable rom though it doesn't really work to well if your planning on using I like better but I have a feeling that Rocket Rom is going to be my choice just because I loved the GB equivalent.

Fool proof instruction from LPF (Ketan)
First get these to files on SD(cant post links, google pls):
CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3 (get the .tar since Mobile Odin can not flash .zip)
AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final RedPill Touch Original Logo (.zip vers.)
and the Kingdroid Rom
Download Mobile Odin(pro) and flash CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3
Now Boot into recovery and flash AbyssNote kernel, still in CF-Root go to advance and reboot recovery (so now you are in abyss recovery)
In Abyss first Wipe Data/Factory after that wipe Cache and then wipe Dalvik
Now install from SD and chose Flash Kingdroid rom
Reboot and enjoy GNote
For any of you guys out there awaiting the ICS update, don't bother. Have a look for the Paranoid Android ROM thread, truly amazing and shows you what this device is really cape able of!!!

Paranoid uses CM9 kernel, therefore it is safe.
Couldn't agree more

Looks like Paranoid is CM9 based so nearly no bricking risk there
Kingdriod is based on an official Kernel, so big risk of bricking .
I could be quite wrong here though.. do your own research.

Paranoid is totally safe and the best thing I ever did to my Note. It is CM9 based.
Try it out, you will never go back!

Reading the first few post in the paranoidandroid thread...
The install looks very intimidating for new flashers.
And to complicate things, there is a list of prerequisites and DONT'S. IF.......
So Im freaked out by it all, but do want to install it..
My experience so far is to.. D/L the German XXLPY and install via PC Odin.
Then root, then Speedmod Kernel..
NOW.. the PA ICS hybrid instructions warns against flashing with ICS already installed with certain kernels.....
I got lost and confused...
{Q} Can I just flash PA ICS Hybrid over what I have got already??
or {Q} do I have to go back to GB and a GB kernel first??
thanks for helping out a new flasher.
And dont forget to lecture me to read..read..read.. research....
I know that & but I will need reminders (without links as wel)l...
thanks again,,,

It's great as far as i can see on the video. But no S-Memo for me is a big no. I know there are alternatives but I can't live without the stock S-Memo

Kingdroid it's pretty bad, it has very very dirty stuff and useless tweaks, its buggy and drive you crazy after 1 day of use.
The idea of that rom is good but "more" not means better so that guys need to do a clean rom instead a rom full of useless crap.

It's not confusing as long as you get the concept right. Just remember one thing.
All stock Samsung ROM are dangerous and you do not want to flash anything over them.
All AOSP ROM are safe and you can flash over them.
So what happens if you are on Samsung official like LPx, LBx, etc ? First, flash a gingerbread ROM with no wipe and then proceed with the usual flash procedure. This applies for ANY ROM that you wanted to flash not only Paranoid ROM.

Well, my Nexus 10 is in the mail direct from Google! Believe it or not, they were actually the cheapest source for the 16GB model. I not worried about storage space since I have 32GB now on my phone and max out at about 4GB.
At any rate, I am both excited and nervous. I have had a Samsung Nexus phone for about a year and super happy; however I have read horror stories about this tablet (not connecting to WiFi, random reboots, etc.). So, where should I start?
If anyone can give me a bullet point list of the best ROM, kernel, GApps, etc I'd appreciate it!!
AOKP and Pa are the best ROMs for me, combined with trinity 10 or Kt kernel
This is by far the best tablet I have owned.
Welcome to the world of Nexus 10

Great! I was hoping to hear AOKP. That's what I use on my phone so it will be nice to have on the tablet too.
Official downloads from AOKP.co website or do you have a favorite unofficial version from here?
There are several aokp builds. The normal one a couple pub ones which are great and the one I use from ktoonsez and task650 so you have choices for your choices

This is our first tablet so I got a 3yr warranty with full accident coverage from Squaretrade. They issue you a check for your original purchase price if you break it anytime in that 3yrs.
anyway - TX3L or TX3G version of Trinity kernel?
Look farther in the thread. There is a tx4g that you want to use

CM 10.1, best on a phone and best on a tablet, best ROM out there, period.

Every phone I have had that has both an available AOKP and CM rom always wins hands-down when running AOKP. I'll keep flashing a CM10 rom every 2 or three months to see if they have improved, but within a day I am back on AOKP. Will stick with it until I see CM catch up and surpass AOKP. Thanks everyone! It arrives tomorrow...almost called in sick (ha, not).

I thought aokp was based off cm10?
I personally use sentinel ROM. It doesn't have all the aokp features and it uses the crappy new ui BUT it seems to be the most stable especially since I use my tablet and ps3 controller to play games all day. If anyone has a better ROM to try I'm open to suggestions

I understand your concern, I was the same before I bought mine not too long ago, but I had to have it. And to be honest I was very pleasantly surprized I was only on stock for a week or so, but I dont think I ever experienced a random reboot, and I don't have any issues at all with the screen or WiFi.
I've tried a few ROMs and kernels like CyanogenMod and Paranoid, but right now I'm running AOKP Project Unicorn Butter from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095222 , but it looks like you're already familiar with AOKP It has been the smoothest, snappiest ROM so far, and if you run it with the KTManta kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015874 , its the best android experience you'll have ever had. I know it's mine.
Thank you everyone - Last question: What's all the buzz about "Aroma"? What exactly is it? Is it worth flashing?
Aroma is just an installer. It comes up when you flash certain ROMs etc. Allows you to install several things right there before booting add launcher/apps/etc

Sorry to be such a noob, but could someone tell me how/link me to install a kernal such as ktoonsez's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015874
I am not clear if I can install just the kernal to the stock image? (I am comfortable rooting w/ SuperSU and I am comfortable installing TWRP.)
Then additionally I am not clear on how I choose the different kernals when using a custom rom? I mean not using the Aroma installer. (Is it done the same way as installing a custom kernal to stock, IE same answer as my above question?)
TIA all

You just flash it in twrp. Same for custom ROMs. Download whichever one you want to use. Flash it. They overwrite any existing kernel. Can't use more than one

Thanks iamikon! I've read where people say to always wipe two caches after something like this, can you/someome clarify that aspet?
-I would guess I do that when I flash a new kernal
-I would guess I dont have to do that if I am flashing a whole new ROM
TIA again...
Do you all recommend twrp? I have been using CWRTouch 6.0.2.3 on my phone since it came out w/o any problems so I flashed the Nexus 10 version to the tablet and it works great. The only thing I am missing is 'wipe battery stats' but everything else is there.
Any reason to use twrp instead?
