Root Is a custom ROM needed?

New to the forum. I've had my Fascinate for almost a year and love it. Just rooted my phone and really don't know what to do with it. I'm running 2.3.5, CWM 2.5.1.2, Titanium Backup, ROM Manager Premium, and I think VOODOO (2.6.35.7 kernel), but I'm not sure. Should I install a custom ROM or did I already do that when I rooted my phone. I'm a total Newb, so any help would be great.

I'm rooted with the KGB kernel. But I don't have CWM or a custom rom. Once I got voodooed my phone has been much faster in benchmarks.

So in essence we're about at the same point. The phone works fine except for the GPS lockup issue that many see. But if i remember I run GPS Aids and GPS status before using navigation.

Yeah, it sounds like we're at the same point. I'm just a newbie at all this and I think I'm just scared of screwing up my phone. The technical verbage is a little confussing for me. Thanks for getting back to me.
