Move away from the stock ROM on to Super Clean or one of the others, imo.

yup just remember to backup as some people actually prefer sammy apps that jt replaces with aosp ones...so if you dont like the changes...go to your backup...move any apps you want from system/app to your sdcard....reflash the rom and then reinstall the apps you moved...of course thats all completely uneccessary if you are happy with everything
 
Just an update: My phone is still going strong after flashing Super Clean v0.9 and Stupid Fast v1.54. The extra battery life I am getting seems too good to be true. I am so glad that I did this.

Quick question though: I know that themes can only be flashed on deodexed systems, but does that mean anything but stock? Because on the Rom list thread it notes the differences between Stock and Stock (deodexed) but not the other roms. I am assuming deodexed is any custom rom that isn't stock? I am running Super Clean v0.9 and can't seem to determine with certainty if I can flash a DJ05 theme on it. And if I can, to flash it I don't need to wipe anything, correct? Just reboot into recovery and flash the theme.
 
I don't really run one, because I'm the only person in the world who likes the gray status bar :) I have the circle battery percent and power button reboot options which is sort of a theme, but not really.

These are appearance modifications so it's up to you. Nitsu's are nice. I'd definitely get one with a numerical battery level and the reboot options for the power button, most of them have it. Just look At the screen shots on XDA.

You are not alone NOsquid, I like it as well. I wouldn't mind having the battery and power options you mention. Are you running the update found in (MOD)Reboot Options in Power Menu for DJ05 on XDA?
Thanks!!

Ok, so i just applied the reboot_batt_a.zip in (MOD) Add Reboot Option to Power Menu (now with accurate battery mod) from within cwr and rebooted. It now seems to be hung at the SAMSUNG splash screen. Any ideas?

which one did you flash?...there is the dj05 and dio1 version....if you flashed the dio1 and you are on dj05 that would cause a bootloop...show me which link you got it from

Second one down in the OP

Looks like I just found the DJ05 version..DOH! I assume I need to restore form backup in CWR?

worst case..yes....but try and see if you can get the new one on ur sdcard through a card reader or another phone...then stick the sdcard back in ur fascinate and flash the right one

if not, restore a backup...dont worry we all flash the wrong things (intentionally or not) ;)
