Default ROM Ideas

Hello Fascinate Community,

I'm new to the development scene and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about creating or modifying/altering ROMs. Specifically, I'm interested in modifying the Fascinate TouchWiz stock. Maybe I'm the only person in the world, but I kind of like the TW interface and don't care to replace it with a 3rd party launcher (I did use and like LauncherPro Plus on the Droid 1/2, just enjoying something different).

At any rate, I had some ideas that I thought would be really cool to integrate with the existing TouchWiz interface and I thought that I would share them in the event someone figures out how to incorporate them.

I also thought this might be a good way to consolidate ideas the community at large might have for upcoming ROMs, but lack the know-how to implement:

1) Similar to the control toggles in the notification bar, implement forward/back and play/pause controls for the music player

2) Rescript the default Car Home app to use Google Navigation / Google Voice Search

3) Add music controls to the bottom of the default Car Home app

4) Replace all the Bingification with Google (obviously)

I know there are people working on this already, I really hope it makes it into the first series of ROMs.

7) Add a setting that allows you to enable/disable the "signal lost/found" audio alert.
8) (No-brainer - not even sure it warrants mentioning) Use a different file system (ext4?) to eliminate need for lag-fix.

That would be excellent! Only thing I am truly missing from my BB is the notification light!

Rom Idea:

2.2 Froyo
and the ability to use the touchwiz widgets. I really like them over HTC Sense.

Thats the only reason I wont use launcherPro....Official widgets from the manufacturer look so much better than aftermarket ones!!!

Fix GPS
