Hey everyone. I just got a Samsung Fascinate and I want to put CWM on it with a stable ICS ROM (I don't think the Fascinate has fully functional JB). To make a long story short I have searched all over the development section and all noobie guides with links to download CWM, ODIN, etc. are all obsolete and dead. I am looking for how to get this done with valid links and steps. I want to:
-Install CWM
-Install proper radio
-Flash custom ROM (looking for most stable ICS ROM unless there is a stable daily driver JB ROM)
If anyone can please help me out with the steps and some valid links I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, any recommendations for daily driver ICS ROMs or JB ROMs if they exist. Thanks a ton guys.
Check this guide out all the links work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
Also the Job thing Hahaha all of our jb ROMs are stable. In fact we have stable 4.2.1 ROMs which what came out a month ago lol so yea I recommend to just get the latest version lol hellybelly is a VERY good ROM

Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...
hi guys,
I hope somebody here could help me - I'm looking for the most stable ROM + Gapps for my old baseband P500. I really use it for work, so I cant afford to have it crash. I already have it rooted and installed recovery just yesterday from ROM Manager.
I installed a few different ROMs, but they are not stable. I have heard of other ROMs like PerfectPeso, etc. but it seems either the dev has quit or it has gone new baseband only. On facebook, I read about some people talking about CosmicExperia 3.5.. but not sure about that. I would have preferred gingerbread based ROMs, but hey... beggars cant be choosers.
On top of that, mediafire is no longer working, so I have even fewer working links now.
If you guys have some recommendations, could you please, please point me to download links as well ?
Mik's CM7.....Stable!

v4 doesnt supported themes at the moment. but driday is their usuall update day so maybe they fix that today
I dont know much about duel booting compatibility...
these are the 2 popular English fan sites where you can find ICS & GB roms with its changelogs....

MIUI V4 are still on BETA and not 100% bugs free yet...
only few themes are currently supported for V4
I am currently using GB MIUI, working fine, very smooth, batterry friendly
Try them all until you find one you like. Given how easy it is to flash roms & backup/restore in CWM, you have no excuse for not doing so. Apart from laziness :-|
Adyscorpius has got a nice miui. I'm using miui sp V12 , dev is dragon. He will release probably next week a update. Both are on xda-developers.com

How is battery consumption in MIUI roms? THanks!

Hello everyone
I want to start dual booting, I currently run stock 4.0.3 ICS samsung with siyah kernel 3.3.3d. Many roms out there include aroma installers and the like which includes kernels, I would like to know how to install such a rom (for example Resurrection remix) without bricking my phone or replacing my current kernel.
I did search through posts but couldn't find a comprehensive guide (dated) that explains the procedure thoroughly. I would highly appreciate if an expert of XDA can assist me, either with links or a basic guide.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
I might seem like a new member, but I actually lurk the forum all the time, and have flashed and troubleshooted a lot.
Unfortunatly, I cannot post this in the proper forum, cause of my restrictions, so I'll just give it a go here...
Before 4.1.2 stock Sammy was released, I had been using MIUI V4 for a very long time.
Now with the release of MIUI V5 on 4.1.2, I cant wait to actually start using this, but the soft brick bug which people encounter concerns me.
I wanted to ask this in the ASNET MIUI V5 thread, but as I cannot post it in there, I'll just ask a general question here;
Does the ASNET ROM also contain the Russian Roulette Soft Brick Bug? If so, is there anyone that can recommend me a different MIUI V5 ROM?
Perhaps the unofficial AOSP ROM? Or whatever is out there?
I hope some MIUI V5 users can convince me to finally make the switch.
I'd be able to solve the soft brick bug, but the thrills I get when my phone does not boot anymore, is just horrible.
Sometimes I think I'm too independant as a regular flasher.
Remove my thread if I did something wrong, or this question does not belong here.
I've been browsing en.miui.com, miuiandroid and whatsoever for weeks now, and I still cant detect a reliable MIUI V5 ROM..
Im using MIUI v5 myself and I dont experience any problems at all.

started using Miui v5 from official site the day it was released .....damn this rom is pretty and smooth
Rom : MIUI V5
Kernel : HIROX V5 INTENSIVE
Modem : NELP2
click THANKS if you think my post was HELPFUL
Hey i have the same problem. I install miui v5 and use for about 2 weeks. However after that time my phone closed and i could not boot it again. I really want to use this rom but because of that issue i can't use it . Is there any proper solution for this issue??
Bump
I still have this issue, can anyone confirm if it has been fixed or is it just me?
Kernel: SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta5
MIUI: Official 3.8.9 from the MIUI website
I know I'm using an outdated MIUI version, as the lastest is 3.8.23, so is it something that happens in 3.8.9 and the update will fix it? To be honest, I've had a hard time finding anything related to this matter anyway. It seems to be something exclusive to my phone and a few others.
