"I done it" is substandard English. The more common error is "I have did it" or "I have went..." "I would've went..." etc... This is the exact opposite, and it is very common.
Take sing / sung / sang. We know sing is the present, sang the past, and sung the past participle. It is very common to hear "I have sang" instead of the correcter "I have sung..." So much so that it almost doesn't sound wrong any more.
But "I sung it good" is clearly stigmatized.
