Go to the developer forums, find the ROM you want to install, download the files mentioned in the first post, and the follow the instructions as given.

That said, if you are that afraid you may be better off with a 4.2 or 4.3 ROM.

Edit: Do not forget to make a nandroid backup before you flash any new ROM.

I went to this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874086 ) but I cant find the kit kat rom for the fascinate. I tried the most recent one, but its 4.0. I still decided to get it, but it just made me get stuck in TWRP. I couldnt do anything so i had to reset my phone with odin. I followed the instructions but i eneded up in TWRP with no os, and having to reset my entire phone. What do i do to get kit kat?

I have a nandroid of CM11 and DU4.3.
When a new Kit Kat version comes out I restore my latest 4.4.2 and flash the new one to test out if the data is still wonky. If it is, I restore DU 4.3.

Currently I am on CM11 2014-02-21.

Which gapps package did you use?
The laggeness should settle down and get better after some time loading everything

Do not forget to download the gapps mentioned in the first post and flash it after you have flashed your ROM.
After that you should be able to access the playstore.

Everything works now. I fixed the play store by logging out of Google, and logging back in. I fixed the lag with NQ Mobile Booster , but i have to use it before i launch every app. Thanks for your help
