Stock music app from 2.1 - 2.2.1? - Captivate General

Hey people,
I just got a new Samsung Captivate through rogers, I had 2 galaxy s i9000m and they both died, one is now on its way to samsung for replacement (I hope.)
The captivate has stock firmware (Eclair 2.1-update1, I896UXJI2)
I plan on rooting it and installing a custom ROM asap, but i was listening to music earlier and saw a real nice lockscreen player widget, drops from the top bar if you pull the half cd image.
Any chance i can get that on froyo once i install a ROM? or is it available with froyo as well?

[Q] Motorola or Samsung? Which android phone?

Hey there!
Which phone would you recommend to a person which wants an android phone for gaming(minecraft, gta III, asphalt), music and internet(youtube, internet radio, websites, etc.). Better the battery, better the phone. I'm probably not gonna change roms and i'm okey with locked bootloader, but I'll root the device and I would like to overclock it to get the max performace !
I've got 4 phones on my list as they are cheap.
I prefer defy's because they more resistance I think(you don't want to know what happend to my last phone )
- Motorola Defy (~180€)
- Motorola Defy+ (~200€)
- Samsung S i9000 (~200€)
- Samsung S+ i9001 (~190€)
If you have any other phone that is good, write it. My previous phone was HTC Touch Pro 2 with Android 2.2 if it would help anyone
Thanks for help
I'll go with the Samsung S i9000. It's a nice one...
What about the Defy and S+(I heard S+ was worser for gaming then S)? Do any of you had any experience with them before?

[Q] Any luck with Chrome on the infuse?

So with ICS and JB roms I've often installed chrome and eventually give up due to lag. Sometimes the screen will just freeze for 30 seconds or more.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I really like the way chrome handles bookmarks.
I'd really like chrome to work. I keep most of my bookmarks on my desktop in the bookmark bar. I delete the names so all i see is the fav.icons. (i can fit a lot more of them up there this way) The stock browser can sync to these bookmarks but without text they are useless. It doesn't load fav.icons, but uses page previews instead. I can't see any of those until i visit every page. It makes the whole experience kind of confusing.
Chrome requires an ARM7 processor which we have, but are we missing something in the gpu area that just makes using chrome unrealistic? Something else?
I tried it a couple months ago when it was still in beta. It was so laggy and terrible but it was in the final stages of beta. Chrome is officially only compatible with ICS and JB phones so I guess there's a reason for that since JB and ICS phones are more powerful than the infuse.

[Q] Port ROMs to Galaxy S - i9000

I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 recently updated to 2.3.6 Gingerbread. I really didn't like the TouchWiz 4.0, so I immediately switched to SuperNexus 2.0 ROM. No doubt the ROM was good and stable, but it wasn't really fun to use. Then after I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (My primary phone is an HTC One), I really loved the TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0 which added a bit of spice in Android 4.2.2. Now, my question is can we port the ROM to Samsung Galaxy S i9000?
*I have already used Tiger Jelly-Bean and Cyber SGS-IV which didn't give the original look and feel of the S4. I have also used various launchers, which looked FAKE

[Q] Dock station screensaver/widget

Hi everyone
I bought my n8000 few weeks ago, and Im pretty happy with that.
I decided to keep it unrooted and on stock rom to keep all the s-pen features and so on.
I was using few Samsung devices before (like sgn2 sgs2) and they were showing some weather/clock screensaver when the device was placed into official dock station. I bought EDD-D100BE dock and I was expecting there to be something similar. But when I place it into a dock nothing happens. Is there any option to do the same stuff on n8000 without installing custom roms? Maybe some app from market will do that?
Or I should wait till Samsung will add a new firmware version?
thanx for help
Try using Desk Clock Plus from the Play Store.

What ROM for most AOSP/cyanogenmod experience?

Hello,
today I got a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos).
Since today I always had a Galaxy S2 with Cyanogenmod installed. I never ever used the original Samsung ROM.
Sadly there is no Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S7.
I am looking for a ROM with these features:
- as much AOSP/Cyanogenmod like as possible, I don't need touchwiz, I'm fine with e.g. NovaLauncher (*but I heard there are battery drain issues on S7??*)
- no preinstalled apps, no google play store, a really "clean" android (of course camera, sensors etc should work)
- possibility to encrypt device, root, xprivacy
- a nice dark theme
1) Is there a ROM that suits my needs?
2) Or should I take the newest official ROM and debloat it with the tutorials here on the board.
Thank you for your suggestions! There are so many ROMs here, it is hard to choose.

1: No. There are no AOSP/CM roms for the S7 due to lack of sources for the kernel. The best you can do is to run some "custom" touchwiz rom where most samsung apps (such as dialer, contacts, clock etc) have been removed and replaced with their google counterparts, but in the end of the day, it's still a touchwiz rom.
2: Since the last phone you owned was the S2, I suggest you give stock touchwiz a real chance, a lot has changed since the S2 stock days so who knows, you might get used to it. The Android 7.0 Beta rom is quite good looking and quite fast, not stock android fast but still pretty good. Give it a shot and see how you feel about it.
