It's been a long time coming, to say the least. Perhaps I owe you all an apology - this took far too long to see the light of day. Finally, though, it is here. Basix for R910 is a comprehensive, highly-customized ROM, based on the official EE07 release. Sharing a common heritage with SyndicateROM Frozen for the Epic 4G, Basix aims to wring every last drop of potential from what Samsung has given us, and correct most - if not all - of the annoyances in the process. And look good doing it!Basix for R910

Basix was built from the ground up for speed, stability, smoothness and battery life, using some of the most advanced techniques available to ROM developers today. You'll see a marked improvement in every one of those areas... or your money back. (Oh wait. This is free. )

This is a very long list - see the second post for a complete changelog from the base, stock ROM. Here are some of the highlights:

Basix comes with the light and customizable LauncherPro by default - but don't fret, TouchWiz lovers, an addon is available to restore your favorite launcher. Many of the apps that were previously uninstallable have been moved to the data partition, allowing them to be uninstalled at will. A kernel with a customized initramfs is also included, to provide for some of the features in the ROM - a fully-custom kernel will be included with later releases.
