Hello there I'm a total noob on this forum and ive been searching for quite awhile for a rom for my samsung galaxy s fascinate on telus (as you can probably gather from the title of the thread), and I have had absolutely no luck does anyone know of any roms that could work for me?
Thanks in advance
Do none of these work ?
Im not sure ive been looking but I need to find a rom specific to telus for my fascinate as I dont want to brick my phone. Im sorry for my huge noobishness Im more familiar with iphones and such in the hacking department these androids are alot trickier
The telus fascinate has gotten no love from developers but there is a work around possible.
ROMS:
Some i9000 roms will work with the fascinate, same goes for a few tmobile vibrant roms. Its mainly luck which ones do and do not work but ones such as Darky's rom will work fine since they're actually designed for all SGS variants.
IMPORTANT:
Do not load any roms that include a bootloader in the update package; this WILL brick your phone. Also when flashing any roms be sure that lagfix is disabled for first boot again this WILL brick your phone otherwise.
KERNEL:
As for your kernel there is 1 custom voodoo injected one based on the stock telus kernel available specifically for the fascinate but you lose out on any overclocking/BLN/etc features. You are able to use the kernels available for the i9000 such as the speedmod kernel but you will lose your home button functionality.
This loss of home button functionality can also be fixed by remapping your buttons using a hex editor.
RADIO:
For the most part all radios will work but I found using the stock telus radio to be the best in terms of battery life/signal strength.

I have rooted 3 phones prior to this one. I have it all set up and running Refuse 1.7. I have seen that there are a good load of roms available for the infuse 4g. Many of them say 2.3.5, etc. Is that the android version needed by the phone before installing the rom? I am on 2.2.1 and am worried about installing any other rom, than one which has froyo in the name leaving me with only 3 choices. Any help would be appreciated I want to try a miui rom or something else from here but am worried that since I have 2.2.1 when I install one that has 2.3 in its name I will brick.

No bro, the " 2.3.5" or "2.3.6" its that ROMs Android version, not the one needed to install it, still you do need a modified recovery to easily install a custom rom. I would personally recomend this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
as a good guide for new guys trying to install custom roms since the instructions are very detailed and hardly would give you trouble. After installing that rom you would have gathered the necessary knowledge to choose your next rom like MIUI or CM7 or another samsung Infuse rom or Samsung port to Infuse.
I've tried several i9000 ported ROMS from the i897 development section as well as ROMS from the i9000 android development section. They just don't work as I assume they should with the browser and installed apps. I've tried downloading the apps from market but they freeze and close.
The browsers hangs and shows checkerboards and doesn't register touches until moments later and is completely unusable, this applies to alternatives from the market too. I've used reoriented kernels for the Captivate and the ROMs based on JVT, JVQ, JVZ... from the i897 section work better because the capacitive touch buttons all work but same issues described.
The i9000 section ROMs work with the same issues but capactive home button doesn't respond although a kernel like semaphore is used if its JVT or JVZ based. Am I doing something wrong? I install a stock ROM with gingerbread bootloaders and flash. Is there a step I'm missing?
Only problem is the stock browser? Tried other ones?
the button remapping from i9000 to cappy isn't done in the kernel.
flash this on an unported i9000 rom from the i9000 section and it will reenable the home button.
(note that home haptic will not work that requires an edit to the android.policy.jar)
dunno whats up with your browser, perhaps the modem isnt loading as fast as you'd like. try a few, compare performance?
When going to stock do you perform a Master Clear before installing these different ROM's? I'd also consider going to either a stock Eclair, or Froyo, Master Clearing and then installing your new ROM(s).
If this is happening across multiple ROM's, It's something to do with the installations specific to your device, not the ROM's themselves
I haven't tried master clear yet I'll try it and let you know how it goes it always works without doing that specific step on i897 based ROMs so never considered it. Thanx studacris for the home button fix
I tried stock then master clear and then installing an i9000 ROM and same thing. I tried flashing 2.1 UCFJ6 and then i9000 bootloaders, talon kernel and then flashing a ROM and no luck,same issues. I'm stuck at this point. On the bright side ICSSGS beta 3 is serving me well but its irritating not utilizing the other i9000 ROMs
CM7 or MIUI don't work?
CM7 and MIUI work perfect. I9000 based ROMS are the issue the JV.. ROMs don't seem2 agree with my phone. The KK and older i897 based ROMs are buttery smooth with browsers and other aspects.
Anyone??? Is there really no method that can be used to fix this error?
:fingers-crossed:
Hi I am new to this forum so hope I have finally got this in the right place. I have a rooted samsung s2 mobile which I have flashe dthe ICS 4.0.4 I am interested in learning more about Kernels, which ones can I use, how do I know which each one does and how do I understand the language of the Kernel. If anyone can help / advise dummies guide required......
thanks in advance

You should be able to find several kernels suitable for your SGS2 right here (XDA). Search for 'kernel collection sgs2' on google. The 3rd link from the top should be useful and have current ICS kernels (which are compatible with your device).
To name just a few:
N.e.a.k.
Siyah
CF-Root
Phenomenal
Make sure that, whatever kernel you decide to try, it's compatible with your ROM (in your case ICS 4.0.4).

Dear Experienced Users,
I have rooted my Samsung S Relay 4G SGH-T699 (previously unlocked and can use any sim) - I used CWM recovery, etc.
I love this phone.
The only problem is I want to get rid of all the T-Mobile branding crap, especially the Wifi Tethering Problem.
My experience: I use ODIN to flash, I also use ADB and SU. I also love experimenting
Is there some modified stock rom which has a tethering fix? The splash screens I can get rid of using other means.
I would really value some advice - I know you guys are all geniuses!!!
Best regards,
theartistisblue

There are threads with debloated Stock images. There's also some custom image alternatives (Such as CyanogenMod 10.2, and new betas of CyanogenMod 11.0) Just have a look through the forums here, they're not hard to find.
Thanks

Please, Please - could you point me in the right direction? I find Cyanogen a bit alien... I'd prefer a debloated thing.
I really need help. I will even pay
Story how i got that idea
(Skip this if u dont give a single **** about other people)
Can anyone please help me
I have a Galaxy S3 with a half-way-broken Screen. The reason why i say half-way is because the display actually works butt has very very low brightness so i am not able to see anything on my screen when i go outside or go into a room that is bright. Before i got this S3 i had many other phones like Omnia 2,Galaxy s2,Galaxy Note, and so on and i remembered a feature from siyah kernel on my Galaxy S2 wich allowed u the set a GAMMA SHIFT up to 50+. It was goddamn bright and i also knew that the siyah kernel is also awiable for the S3. After flashing it i was very dissapointed because exactly this feature was not there anymore. I flashed al the older versions of siyah kernel i found but non of them had gamma shift. Then i searched for another Kernel that could have this feature but i was not lucky at all. I quit messing around with my phone and used it as it is even it was a real pain in the ass. Some days later one of my friends who is also a person that has very good knowledge about android, ROMs, Kernels,.... He told me about that he has succesfully flashed a Galaxy Note 2 ROM to an Galaxy Note by only changing the files in the meta-inf folder from GT-N7100 to GT-N7000. When i heard about this i have tried to do the same with the siyah kernel from s2 to convert into a s3 kernel with the features from the s2 kernel that was missing. So long i had no luck by converting it. i have also looked up to threads in there people show how to convert ROMs from phones to ROMs for another phones.
THE REAL QUESTION!!!!
Is it possible to convert a phones kernel to another phone?
If yes, how do i do it?
Which programms do i need?
Can anyone please help me with that?
