Root How to flash to a new rom

I tried looking around and searching but there is SO much info out there it's hard to weed through it all.

I currently have Bionix-v 1.3.1 by Team Whiskey on my phone but I am unhappy with the performance in some places. I want to load Nero v3 w/ voodoo 5.04.

I have only ever found one rom I liked and stuck with it but I am tiring of the little problems I've run into with Bionix. I have NO idea how to change from one custom rom to another. Do I have to go back to stock first? Is there any easy way to do that? Can I just go from one custom rom to another? How?

Thank you for any help.
 
I've seen on other forums where people say you should go back to stock. It's kinda up tp you though I think. It was mentioned that some people say sometimes you have "ghost" files of your old rom left on your phone and going back to stock deletes them.

I've never flashed a rom before so I honestly have no idea. Figured I'd try and help out with what I have read
 
Well first off if you upgraded your phone to the official froyo using samsung kies then you will need to downgrade to the previous version. You can find an easy instructional done myself on how to do it on our website in the vibrant 3G flashing station.

If you want more help from me you can find me on our forums. I don't visit this forum that often anymore. Only like once or twice a month.

Pick the ROM you want to use and read the instructions on what you need to do. You dont need to go back to stock to do it. You can just reboot into recovery CWM and wipe the data and do a factory reset. All the ROMs should come with how to do it and if they dont, dont use that one.

I used Axura for many months and now im running ICS and i didnt go back to stock before i flashed it. Did just what i said and it works fine.

Vegas...is that the ICS Passion? I've looked at it on XDA with some trepidation. Because I don't flash all the time, I need something that's stable and fully capable. How's it working for you?

Bionix is working really well for me right now, but you know how it is: bigger, newer, shinier. Thanks man.

Yes it is ICS Passion. I am using v11. They are now on v13. It is pretty stable. The issues i have had are when i was on a phone call, my initial "hello" was fine but right after that the people on the other end had a hard time hearing me and i had to move around to find a spot that was good. I have since flashed a different modem and it fixed it. The ROM comes with KB5 but for me in my area the best one seems to be JL5. It varies for some.

Also i havent yet had a lock for my GPS as of yet but i havent tried but a couple times and that is an aissue. It should lock and there are some that it works fine and some say you have to tqeak it. Im not one that likes to tweak, i want it to work but maybe it will on v13, i just havent flashed it yet.

Once in a while a app will stop working and i have to force close it and start it over. That is my experience with it....not too bad, Axura was more stable for me but i dont consider these ive listed as a big deal but would be nice if the GPS would lock....but again, i didnt spend a lot of time waiting for it to lock. I havent really needed to use it and i hope the next version i flash fixes it.
