[Q] Best ROM avaliable for the Captivate at this time?

I am on Rogers and I recently got a Captivate I found the wiki site for the roms but I cant figure out which one would be the best one to use. So some insight into them would be great.

If you want the fastest phone experience look at the i9000 roms with the setiron kernel, that kernel has every feature/tweak you'll ever need.

It depends a lot on what you mean by "Best." After reading a lot of the threads on different ROMs, I went with Cognition 2.4 because it had the feature set that matched my needs, and had the easiest installation method. It was also the only one I could find that used ClockworkMod exclusively and didn't require Odin. I don't have anything against Odin, but if I have an option to use one program or another exclusively, I'm going to go with that if for no other reason than less can go wrong.
There may be some that are faster, but even under stock, my Captivate was wicked fast. Cognition also seems to have a huge amount of support, more than the others I've seen.

I am not sure that you could classify one as being the "best". I have flashed a couple of the Cog builds and am now rocking the Tayutama rom. The Cog seems to be the most popular, but I am getting better function for what I want with the Tayutama. Don't mean I won't flash again, just gonna enjoy this one for a while.
I think any rom is going to vary from phone to phone. Some people have trouble flashing them, others experience gps issues, others have problems with bluetooth. I flash, use my phone normally, and if I run across a problem I look for a fix. I am sure there might be problems with my phone that I will never see (bluetooth for example) as there are probably many features I will never use.
Flash it. Use it. Dump it or keep it. Opinions are great, but it is going to be your experience with the rom that matters.

Basically anything but Cognition.
i9000 ROMs win any day.

For me, Cognition v2.2 b6. GPS works, Email and both Email and Browser works when switching between WiFi and 3G, and it's just clean, stable, and very reliable. The keyword is "for me". I do a lot of email, web browsing, SMS, MMS, photos, 720p videos, YouTube, [edit] plus MobileAP with friends who have no, or limited data plans [/edit] etc. Give it a shot if you're able to use it on Rogers.

Of the i9000 ROMs, only Raw Steel has fixed haptic on the home button, correct?

Thanks everybody for posting opinions on this. I still havent made a decision yet and I was kinda hoping to hear from somebody on Rogers but nobody came forward...ah well.
By best what I was getting at was pretty much most efficient rom (ie no/little lag) and fast speeds and inproving on the battery life of my phone.
Edit: So looking at some of the posts I can consider using ROMS that arent Rogers specific as well on my phone???

That part is definitely true. The ROM I'm using is not by any means carrier-specific. I can't speak for Rogers, but AT&T put a lot of crapware on my phone that I'm thankful to be without. I suppose if Rogers puts useful stuff on their phones, you'll need a Rogers-specific ROM, otherwise not. Only caveat I can think of is that it's good if you get a ROM that's Captivate-specific. There will be more internal consistency. For example, the i9000 has a front-facing camera that the Cappy doesn't.

Are froyo based roms fairly stable? I ask because I'm getting a Captivate for myself and a not-so-tech-literate family member, and I'd rather not have to deal with any additional problems. Should I flash one of the 2.1 based Cognition roms? Or Doc's 2.2 rom? Or something else entirely? Mainly looking for battery life improvements.

Cognitions 2.3b4 rom is absolutely incredible. EVERYTHING works! and its very fast. The fact that everything including the GPS works flawlessly is just amazing. I dunno if any other rom has been able to achieve that...

You may want to stick with the stock JH7 rom then. When I had it on my phone, that was the best battery life and best GPS performance I got. Now I'm running Cog 2.2B7 and it runs fine, although battery life is lacking and there is a little bit of lag from time to time, but all in all its solid. I love the fact that it has the mobile AP, which AT&T will be sure to strip out from their version of 2.2 when/if it ever comes out....

Couldn't disagree more. Cognition 2.3b3 has been a dream come true for my Captivate.

I have looked over many, Many boards today and am left with an impression that I should be able to go to Cognition 2.3b4 with ODIN, but not a One Touch ODIN.
I DLed Standalone ODIN and went to where the ROM file was downloadable. But when I go on in the process it is obvious I should be seeing a PIT.pit file and others to populate into the different areas of the ODIN interface... I can't find them in the download I have so far.
I have gone looking for these files or a zipped grouping of them, but no luck.
I think I am missing something simple in how this process should go.
Please help?
PS. I opted to NOT go with the ClockWorkMod route as it talks about only doing it if you have a previous version. The last time I did anything to the phone I did the leaked Froyo 2.2 ODIN One Click. That leaves me unsure if I meet the minimum requirements for the ClockWorkMod option. (Plus I don't have root.)
Thanx in advance for the help.

I got this from NorCal Einstein on another thread......
Cognition 2.3 Beta4 IS NOT ODIN FLASHABLE. Unless designgears releases a ODIN version to use with the stand-alone, you are not going to have success trying to use the CWM file with ODIN.
You don't have to flash via CWM while you are on Cognition, that's a mis-understanding. Personally, I flash my phone back to stock (JH6), and then use CWM to flash to Cognition. I don't know what you mean by minimum requirements for CWM option either...you have a Captivate right?...it works right?...you can run ClockWorkMod Recovery on your phone.
Bottom line: At this time, 2.3 Beta4 CANNOT be flashed using ODIN.

Just can't take it any more! I swore I'd wait until the official Froyo release before starting to flash custom ROMs but this thread has finally broken my resolve. Currently downloading one now and will flash tomorrow.

[Q] Experiences with the Rogers Canada Captivate?

Hey all, first post here. Currently I'm interested in the Rogers Galaxy S Captivate (seem to be a million different versions of the galaxy which is quite confusing). Beyond a few basic reviews/unboxings I can't really find much information on this phone. Without doing a long drawn out post I'll cut to my questions quick (I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong forum and the noobish questions):
- What are peoples general experiences with this phone? Loves and hates?
- Froyo support, is there an official Froyo build from rogers or is it limited to 3rd party ROMs etc?
- When it comes to 3rd party ROMs etc, just how mod-able is this phone?
- Is WiFi tethering possible/available with a 3rd party ROM?
Thanks ahead of time.

1) random shutdown issue with one of my phones. GPS problem with second. Third was fine (GPS/no shutdowns) but the build is "creaky". GPS is really fast and accurate and no problems. Battery lasts decent, depends how much you have the screen on for. Right now I can last 4 hours on idle with wifi/3G on and lose maybe 1%. Of course, nothing is really going on.
2-4 No clue yet. Haven't flashed. Kind of waiting for Froyo release from Rogers.

bought a captivate directly from rogers the day it came out off-contract. GPS worked perfectly, even weeks after, navigation and all still locked fast and accurately. However, as far as I am concerned, the 2.2 froyo release by rogers is still not out..so i rooted the phone through download mode with a .zip (took 5 seconds), and since then, have flashed every rom you could imagine. All running great, the phone has restart once..randomly, but other then that, battery life and all has been super good. Haven't had any problems, so i'd say it's pretty good if you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask. and btw, wifi tethering is possible, at least with froyo on any of the main 3rd party roms.

Wifi tethering was in stock rom just so you know. Go into wifi settings

I think you should be okay since you're getting it much later than most other people... I think I'm included as well. I had the shutdown problem but a factory reset fixed it, so I think it was just a software issue on my end. GPS is still spotty, works great and accurately but sometimes doesn't. I also have the slight problem with search popping up randomly, but I am not too bothered by that.
Otherwise it's fine, I love this phone. Everyone is so intrigued when I pull it out.

In general, the phone is really quite good. The Rogers stock GPS doesn't have the issues that the AT&T GPS appears to have, but the modem is HSDPA not HSUPA so upload speed is limited to around 300-400 Kbps and download is limited to around 5Mbps max). Rogers also don't put on a load of bloatware which is really quite nice. Stock Rogers phone even comes with tethering enabled (USB or WiFi using MyAP). With my phone I can't really say I had any "Hates"..a few minor annoyances, such as
- the contact groups (in stock) never syncs the Google Groups
- the calendar app has no "conference call" option, I had this on my OpenEtna phone

No official Froyo support as yet. Rogers saying early 2011. Froyo is only available in custom ROMs based on a leaked ROM and now also based on the GT-i9000 (e.g. Galaxy S "Vibrant" from Bell...as well as some stuff from the Telus "Fascinate" too), as there are official Froyo builds for that (which are not without their own problems too).

Very easy, particularly from rogers as they have not prevented you from loading software in any way, so you can simply download z4root or oclf or the like, directly to your phone from it's browser and run it locally to root your phone. There are a few ways to install the ROMs but they are mostly detailed in their own announcement threads and pretty much cover the bases. There is also a ROM installer HowTo in the QnA or Question section of the Samsung Captivate forum.

All of the ROMs that the Chefs put out are really quite good. It mostly comes dow to a personal preference. One thing to be aware of is the ROM limitations. These are usually listed in their announce thread too:
Note that if you want HSUPA (up to 5.6 Mbps up/7.4 Mbps down) then you need one of the i9000 based modems. You can often put different modems from different ROMs into your own phone, but there are some limitations. The modem should come from the same build (e.g. don't put a 2.1 modem in a 2.2 ROM), some modems are HSDPA only (e.g. the Rogers and AT&T based ones) and that the modem bin is used for more than modem processing, it appears to be used in DSP so it affects that voice call handling. With some modems as a result, you may not be heard on a voice call..so test. It's not to big a deal as you can easily swap out a modem for another.
Cogntion and Perception are ROMs both by DesignGears. I liked them both but couldn't get the combination of features I wanted (which they NOW have) and I couldn't get hold of DesignGears to provide me with his set-up for compiling the kernal (one of the few chefs that compiles his own kernels...most use kernels from other people). To my thinking Perception is more "active" than Cognition leading to cognition being (considered by some) more stable...but it's just a matter of preference. I think that Cognition is not capable of HSUPA but Perception is...though withough checking I may have that the wrong way around.
Axura 2.5 is what I am currently running, though there will be no more development on the "old" Axura because AdamHolden, the latest Axura chef received too many negative comments for his liking and quit. He is starting a new ROM with a team rather than as an individual (see here).
I hear good comments about Assonance, but haven't tried it since using Axura as it fit all my needs.
There are also many others. Just take a browse through the "Captivate Android Development" forum and you will see a number of [ROM] threads. Take a quick read of atleast the first 3-4 posts on the thread as those are used to identify the current version, features, state and issues.

I love my SGS. Feels very snappy with some tweaking and a different launcher, battery life is 24-48 hours with average usage (again with some settings tweaks). No GPS or Shutdown issues on my side and I bought the phone when it was first available. A few people at my work have the phone and I've heard no issues with it at all. One tiny issue I have seen is that some texts seem to come in with an incorrect time stamp. They seem to be about 5 hours off. This can be easily fixed with a simple app so I don't even think about it anymore.

As has been mentioned before, no Froyo yet but that's pretty standard for Rogers. On the plus side there is a Gingerbread ROM being made which looks very sexy in the I9000 forums by supercurio and others.

I rooted my phone in a matter of minutes with z4 root, very simple, one click. I have tried to lag fix my device using oclf but it failed. I know it's not the phone though since a friend of mine has the same phone and his works great. If you like quadrant stats, he's right up there. I personally haven't used any ROM's yet but I will be in the near future. From what I can see there are a lot of ROM's available and it seems like a pretty simple process.

Haven't bothered, I don't need it so I don't know.
I definitely recommend this phone

No issues for a (relatively) simple user that just wants froyo. Love how un-branded rogers left this phone compared to my SE dumbphones and whatnot.
Never tried thethering (as i have no idea how much data i have left)
GPS Test gets a lock within 15 or so seconds with 50ft accuracy (lowers down to around 30 after a bit)
I think i had one of the newer batches (purchased from corporate - early December)

Thanks a lot for the replies all! Looks like i'll be hopping one the Captivate wagon pretty soon.

nevermind, my mistake.

The Captivate is amazing with Rogers, my wife and I both have one and they are fast, solid build, and just a joy to use.
If you want to see a video of mine, just search on youtube "gunstar1981"
Its a really great phone, hope you get yours soon!

I'm having issues with cell reception on some ROMs

I've read up on the forums on this issue and because of my newbness , I'm confused a little. I have Cog4 flashed to my phone and I have no issue , But if I try Firefly or Axurma(?) I get little bars or no reception. I guess it has something to do with the i9000 ROMs and ATT. Are there any ROMs that use the same build as Cog , but with more bells and whistles like Firefly? How do I know which build a ROM is supporting that is captivate compatible ?

i have firefly on mine and flashed the ugjl2 modem and it helped with my signal

Search for more info and explanation but the dime store version is:
i9000 based ROMs (like anything JPX/JPY/JS3/JS5/JS7) require an i9000 radio and kernel.
AT&T based ROMs (anything based on KB1, and previous leaks) prefer an AT&T radio.
Single most important thing is to match an i9000 radio, with an i9000 based kernel. And an AT&T based kernel, with an AT&T radio.
Any i9000 ROM can be run on the Captivate if you use a specially designed kernel. If not, the ROM will boot, but certain functions (especially the orientation sensor) will not work properly.
If you don't do that, bad things *may* happen. There's plenty of "mix and match" but only to a certain degree.

Bottom line is, different roms use different modems. There are a few threads on modems that give dowload links. If you're on a I9000 rom, you have to use a I9000 modem. If you're on a KP1 rom, you need to use one that's compatible. It's as easy as copying the modem onto the root of your internal SD card then flash it with CWM. Different modems can give better reception, better DL/UL speed, battery life, and GPS accuracy. There's not one that is the "best" for everyone though. You need to try them to see what works best for you.

This is the exact reason I went with the Cog 4.1 rom as it was based on the latest AT&T 2.2 update with the KB1 baseband so no reception issues.

TERRIBLE internet speeds after flashing Cog 4.1

I've only used:
- Eclair 2.1-update1
- DG's leak of 2.2 Froyo
- DG Cognition 4.1
On my 2.2 leak I'd routinely pull 2.5Mbps-3.5Mbps but since flashing to Cog 4.1 I can barely pull 1Mbps, IF THAT.
I've tried a couple of other 850 modems I found in SGS tools but one made it worse and one was about the same.
What can I do to restore the Internet speeds that I'm used to? This is terrible.
Please help! What modem should I try? I'm in the USA/ATT and have a Cappy 1010
Note: My WiFi speeds are fine. I get 10Mbps+ and I only have a 12Mbps plan so I'm OKAY on WiFi but 3G/H sucksssssss

If you are trying to use one of the i9000 modems (JK3, JK4, JL3, etc), you need to use an i9000 kernel as well.

I've looked at the modem thread but it's hard to make heads or tails.
I know I have to match the modem with the ROM, with Cog being Cappy KB1 based I knew I needed to stick to Captivate only modems.
I'm on UCJJ4 and it still sucks. I just want to be able to pull at least 2Mbps and I'll be happy.

You can give an i9000 kernel/modem a try. You don't have to stay with the captivate stuff.
For what its worth, JK4 gives me decent results in my area. You should just keep trying different modems since location makes a difference.

What modem was the 2.2 Leak based off of?

I also experienced the slow speeds after flashing cognition 4.1. I am now using the latest speedmod kernel and the JK4 modem and I get blazing data speeds. 5mbps down and 2-3mbps up. My gps works pretty damn well too

I'd was using the speedmod kernel and JK4 as well on Cog 3.02. If I stay with Cognition 4.1, I'll definitely be going back to them, becuase this rom LAGS big time, all across the board. And just because that's not annoying enough, the pinch-zoom doesn't work in the blasted browser, either. I've loved the Cognition roms, but I'm seriously disappointed in this one.
Maybe AT&T should hire DG. God knows, he built a hell of lot better Rom from the leaked versions of Froyo than all of AT&T and Samsung's people did with official access, and unfortunately, their bad work shines through in Cognition 4.1.1.

I ended up cracking open the zip file for 4.1.1, replacing the browser.apk file with the one in Cog 3.02 - which is quite a bit smaller, by the way - then re-zipping and flashing it to my phone*. I also went ahead and loaded jk4 and Speedmod's latest. Now pinch-zoom works again, the surfing/etc., speed is much less laggy, I was able to also add the Captivate's stock sounds, and (despite the cussing) a good time was had by all.
The battery life seems remarkably good, too, despite some pretty heavy use. And that's even though I haven't yet had the chance to calibrate it or clear stats and caches. I wonder what it'll be like after a few drain-outs and charge-ups?
Guess I'll keep the rom around for a bit and see.

New to the Infuse 4G

Hi guys,
I am new to the Infuse 4G, my employer just hand me one this morning, this is truly a gorgeous phone. Coming from a fascinate I am somewhat familiar with Samsung. But I can't stand TouchWiz and I am looking for additional functionality like BLN and Voodoo audio.
Being a work phone, I need it to be stable and dependable, so I am looking for a AT&T stock-based ROM that have all the bloat removed, but still retain the media functionality as well as enterprise connectivity (exchange) and do not broke anything. I'm also looking for a Stock-based kernel with BLN, Voodoo, AP tethering, possibly UV/OC capability and maybe FPS caps removed.
ROM ? Kernel ? Recovery ?
Thanks in advance for you guys answer !

Browse the dev section. There aren't too many options for the Infuse, but they're all great. The small selection makes it easier for you to try out everything available for this phone.
Personally, I use Infused v2 (ROM) and Infusion-GB (kernel) as my daily driver. It's very stable, and in my opinion, well worth losing MHL and having iffy H+ speeds (my H+ speeds have never been really fast anyways nor do I have a need for speed that's twice my home connection but with such a low cap). It's based on Roger's Gingerbread and has some bugs, but if you can overlook those criteria, it's a great ROM/kernel combo that does everything you need and more in a package that's simply better than Froyo ROMs.
