can i go from a gb radio to a froyo radio were can i find a froyo radio im using black hole rom and wanna try virus rom
You might want to check the forum dedicated to your specific phone model as there tend to be more users with experience for that device. My understanding is that you must use a 2.2 modem for 2.2 roms and 2.3 modems on 2.3 roms. But I am relatively new to this.
Not entirely sure on this, I'd look around often times, google is your friend!

I was a noob a few weeks ago so I will give you some advice:
Read all you can first, then reread stuff all over again. Development Forum is a good place to start.
"Stock" android always has extras - device drivers for a phone, kernel enhancements, etc. If you are looking for a build without AT&T stuff, then there are some i9000 Roms, that can be installed, but you need to install the Captivate kernel. All of these are development builds and have some bugs. They also are for the EU Galaxy, and they have different Samsung software included as well as different menus.
There are guys working on building a plain vanilla 2.1 ROM with the source code, but it will take some time.
is there any way, us eclair rom users will be able to install the FROYO market on the rom without havin' to flash froyo?
i'm just askin' because, to me the 2.1 roms are much more stable and faster with no problems than froyo.
i love the market though, so i was wonderin'...
thanks.
Asking a QUESTION in the DEVELOPMENT Thread and not the Q&A Thread. That's a gasser. On the side line, let's go.
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.
Hi,
I was using SGS I 9000 and with the official 2.3.3 DDJV6 version which is very very slow. After that i have tried so many leaked firmwares but unfortunately none of them works well for me..none of them are stable & bugfree.
Right now i am using DDJV9 with voodoo lagfix. This is also not running effeciently..phone gots very very hot upto 55C.
Kindly help me reviving my sgs experince. Please kindly also share the link also for the same.
Thanks alot in advance.
No roms not even OEM roms are free of bugs mate, try flashing some other custom roms until u find the one that suits ur needs.
I agree none of them is bug free. But Whichever leaked firmware i have used is not not even stable. I just want stable & fast firmware.
People kindly help.

No one will be able to tell you what will run well on your device with your set up. Try roms out till you rind one that works for you. Each device is different and so are the way we use them.
Try ROM Mintberry, link to post

Right now i am little confused. Till now i have only checked the different firmwares not tried any ROM.
Are firmware and ROM are 2 different things or same? Sorry if it is too basic..
Firmware and ROM are sort of intertwined. The firmware mostly relates to the underlying infrastructure that the ROM depends upon. Things like the kernel and radio. The ROM is the actual implementation of the OS. When you flash new firmware, you also get a new ROM along with it.
Some custom ROMs, such as Darky's ROM, are very closely related to the stock ROM, and have mostly performance and cosmetic changes. Other ROMs such as Mintberry MIUI and Onecosmic are quite significantly different from any of the stock ROMs.
They also depend on particular parts of the stock firmware. Onecosmic and MIUI both require gingerbread bootloaders to have been previously installed from a stock firmware package.
If you want my two cents on what to use, I am currently using Onecosmic RC2.11 (waiting for the phone to charge to full, then going to install RC3) and it is excellent. It is based on Ice Cream Sandwich, it runs quickly, and it looks beautiful.
There is a link to the XDA thread here.
