Root Bionic Roms

Ok so im still having trouble finding what i need, so i figured id ask the experts.
I have a factory replacement Bionic still on 2.3.4 build 5.905
I went ahead and rooted before i updated thinking i wanted to say on GB
Now that i see how bland it is, im looking for roms. My biggest problem is finding good download links for roms that actually work, every thing im finding is for ICS r wont download. how can i update now that im rooted?
Or what roms are compatible with my device/build

i dont have huge preference on what rom, but i do like Eclipse, performance is important, but stock is good enough for me, so im really looking for stabilty and design.
and hep is greatly appreciated.


also do i need safestrap if im useing ClockWork?
 
As far as GB based roms for the Bionic it is going to be tough to find any, most of the developers have moved on to ICS based roms. If your are wanting to move to ICS and are still stock (rooted is fine) you can just take the OTA but when you get there I recommend a FDR to avoid issues between the move from GB to ICS. The FDR will wipe your data so you will have to set up your phone again.

I used to be a crack flasher when I was running GB but since I have switched to ICS I am running stock rooted. ICS is very smooth and battery efficient. The only thing I have done is invert all of my gapps.

Most of the ICS rom's use safestrap to flash them. You just have to follow the developers instructions.
 
Sorry, its factory data reset correct?
And i think i am stock, i havnt removed any apps, and the ones i frooze are unfroze.
other than thar, im still stock but its still not working
 
Yes. FDR is Factory Data Reset. Some people had issues taking the ota. You can follow the steps for flashing 6.7.246 fxz (ICS) with rsdlite in my signature. If you want to save the step of a fdr just flash 6.7.246 fxz and not the modified 6.7.246 fxz. This will put you on ICS with a clean slate. You then can use razorsedge to root ICS ans set your phone back up.
