Just poking around the Fascinate tonight, thought I would check Rom Manager and low and behold, there's JT Super Clean Rom ready for download. Gives a few options. So for those of you not comfortable with zip installs, this ones for you. Have fun.
What would I need to do to install this ROM and to do before installing it? I'd love to try it out.
You will need to have root. Follow the directions on installing Clockword Mod and download Rom Manager from the market. Once Rom Manager is installed download the rom and it'll walk you through the rest.
I am rooted and have Clockwork Mod and ROM Manager installed. But how do you install/flash a ROM? What do you have to do before you flash a ROM? I'm rooted and debloated but otherwise new at this.
Is this a safer alternative to the voodoo kernel? And would it still fix the lag?

I haven't messed with the voodoo kernel and haven't noticed any lag on my phone. I am running a rooted phone that has been debloated and it runs fine.
This basically looks to be about the same with some of the mesmerize ported over, there does not seem to be any voodoo, but if you want more info on it I would suggest checking the devs rundown over at xda and donate if you like what they are doing. It would definitely be a safe alternative in the fact that with Rom Manager all you need to do to restore is select the restore tab and select the backup to restore and it takes you right back to your old phone.
Open Rom Manager, click on download rom, select JT's rom and any extras that you would like to go with it and let it download. It will prompt you if you want to backup your current rom and/or wipe data and cache always backup, unless you already have a backup and are comfortable restoring it if need be. I always wipe data/cache which basically gives you a factory restore. I would suggest using wifi if available because most roms are rather large. Once it is done downloading it will ask if you want to reboot. Select yes. It will do the rest, just give it time.
as always, it's a good idea to make a nandroid backup before flashing, and wiping data/cache as well for a smooth transition.
