This was my first time putting anything on a phone, and it went surprisingly easy. (with a lot of reading on xda) The cog and firebird development forum are clogged so I thought I'd at least give a little info back in a better spot.
Here is what worked for me.
Flashed rom with cognition 3.04 using CWM
Flashed Kernel with firebird 3 v8. using SGS kernel flasher
Worked amazing, but my friends all heard echos and horrible calling on their end
installed a the JK4 modem using cwm and I can not find one problem with the set up. And it actually makes great phone calls on both sides.
Now I get a 9 satellite GPS lock in 4 seconds according to sgs tools. Compare that to 30 seconds before with stock.
I have a quadrant score consistently at 1550. (800 or so before in stock config)
I bump charged the battery and erased the battery file. I am getting over 16 hours of moderate use before I drop below 30 percent. (with the original firebird and cognition 3.01 I was lucky to get 11 hours before I got a battery shut down. )
Phone makes great phone call.
So overall Cog 3, firebird2 and the jk4 are a flawless combination for me.
The only strange thing was when I flash a modem, my phone wouldn't send outgoing texts for 10 min, then it magically started working normally. I was a bit worried, but now I know not to panic.
i did about the same, with similar results!
i was running cognition 2 before, so i disabled the voodoo lagfix and used ODIN to flash the stock eclair 2.1 rom. went smoothly.
then i rooted the phone and installed cognition 3.04 using CWM. no problem there. i used it for about a day and noticed a better battery life then i'd had before and a nice speed improvement.
after reading up on the firebird kernel, i installed firebird 2 v0.5, again using CWM. i honestly hadn't used cognition without firebird long enough to tell any huge differences, but i've generally been very pleased with firebird.
i've just updated firebird to v0.8. haven't had any issues so far, but i haven't tested it heavily either.
my battery life has been superb and my phone is so much snappier. feels like a new phone, even after using cognition 2 for awhile. i haven't had any problems with call noise, either.
I can't remember but do you lose bluetooth functionality using firebird 2? I thought I read that somewhere...
Hmmm I been using just Cog 3.04 and although It responded great overall, the battery life sucked for me, that was my reason for switching to other roms. Might have to go back and try it out..
I updated directly from Cognition 2.3b8 to 3.04 via Rom Manager becuase I cannot use ODIN, the used CWM to update the kernel. Just rebooted and all seems normal. Will se how the modem works before I update to JK4, like rob ben did.
How I know that I have firebird 2 on board?
how was the battery life before jk4? maybe that's my problem.

Unfortunately yes. You can connect a bluetooth to the phone just fine, but the only thing you will hear is static.

Thanks, I appreciate your answer. I was about to flash it but I really need bluetooth in my car. Need to keep both hands on the steering wheel!
The battery is going good so far with firebird 2 and cog 3.04. I have the phone on standy for two hours so far and it only dropped 2%.
Cognition 3.04 worth it? I flashed it once and noticed that the home button didnt work in the Contacts
Where can I find this JK4 modem to flash? I'm using Darky's ROM but the reception is really bad.
I'm still really happy with it. With heavy use I need to charge each night. But today it was pretty low use and I am sitting at 52 percent. The home button works fine for me in contacts. I think amount of use is a subjective term, but for my needs I am perfectly happy with this set up the way it is..
That being said, I'm sure I will try a few other roms just because I like to tinker with things.
Thanks for the info
Been trying different modems and such with little luck
If you find something that works for you, let me know. I might just switch from Darky's with the other problems it is giving me.

Just make sure they're clockwork flashable, if you're gonna use clockworkmod. The attached jk4 modem is.

I stay with jk4 for 2 days, the battery was bad. Last night I change strategy. Moved out of Firebird by flashing the original kernel of Cog 3.04 and changing the modem to jj4. I want to try the apparent consensus I found through this forum that if you have a cappy rom, which Cog 3.04 seems to be (after all is based on the Rogers Cappy), stay with a cappy kernel and a cappy modem. So far I can report that I lost BLN and Voodoo sound management capabilities but I gained bluetooth back. Will tested and if I change to another configuration I will report back.

See my post above: original Cog 3.04 + I897 modem (like jj4, ji6, etc) will give you back the bluetooth. Sound quality and battery life yet to be tested on my end, but seems encouraging based on my first two hours of having this combination.
i'm running phoenix 4.5 w/speed mod kernel T and i'm getting 30-35 hours out of a charge.

48 hours of testing: Cog 3.04 with its original kernel + I897UCJJ4 modem is working smooth. So far 27 hours with no charge and at 44% battery. This, after I recalibrate the battery without erasing the battery stats. Only challenge, is that it will randomly lag with certain apps, which it was not the case with firebird.
Phoenix Rising 4.1 W/Speedmod Kernal K12T-500hz
I am new to flashing roms but have tried about 6 different roms and variations. The above is like lightning and so far (2 days) 100% stable. I run on GSM only with WIFI off unless I need it, 60 to 80 emails a day. 89% battery after 6 hrs use so far today! Seems like the best so far and it flies!

I don't flash my phone that frequently, so I like having something pretty stable, that also gets good battery life. I have used Cognition up until now and am just trying out Assonance. Cognition has been awesome, and the last version I used was by far the best on battery life (2.1.4). I like Assonance, but so far, the battery seems terrible.
I would like to try a few more before going back to Cognition, so which ones should I try out? Specifically how would you rate Cognition, Perception, Assonance, Axura, and any other really popular roms?
I always do a clean install (flash to stock, master clear, flash at 100% battery, etc.) for every rom I've flashed. Is this necessary for every flash?

It is strange you have terrible battery life with assonance; I was just going to recommend it until I read that part. I am using it and have been extremely impressed with my battery life compared to cognition. I flash the same way you do but in addition I do a battery stats wipe; it is possible even though you are flashing at 100% charge you still aren't seeing an accurate reading.

master clear is not really necessary - why delete your DCIM (pictures/videos) directory?? I find flashing to stock is a lot faster than disabling the lagfix..
Darky's V6 is stellar. Icezar has had a thread on this since v5.x (in the captivate section) I suggest flashing the rom, then booting to recovery, applying voodoo, then flashing the xcal kernel w/ voodoo (v2.2.2) using odin.. which will differ from his OP, but I tried both Voodoo and EXT4 lagfixes, and found Voodoo to be much more smoother, and app installs to go much faster as well.
See my battery stats here. The post is in the thread of the ROM I am using.

To be totally honest with you, and it might not be the answer you are looking for, but, all of the ROM's you are looking at are VERY good. Each one is going to be a little different. The problem is, I think that each Captivate is going to respond a little differently to each of the ROM's you're looking at even at each rev. I have had REALLY good luck with most of the Axura ROM's, and also with Assonance's as well.
All I can say is, you'll need to try them because the experience you'll have MIGHT be a little different that I might have
I've tried almost all of them. Currently, I'm running Chronus and love it. Battery life has been good for me.
Axura is awesome, but I had problems with MMS and never could get it worked. Others who had problems were able to get it working, however.
As states above, each phone is going to respond differently so it's worth trying them all and stick with the one you love.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I got my Inspire on release day at 11:00am when BB opened and by 3pm i ran the ace hack kit and it was rooted and had a DHD ROM flashed on the phone. For the first week there was not a whole lot of ROM's or options, but week 2 and 3, they popped up like a bag of popcorn.
The first set of ROM's and kernels (Desire HD ROM's) left people with dingy sound, no you-tube or any video support at all for that matter. Other people experienced Wi-Fi problems as well. Different fixes and patches came out fixing most problems, except sound seems to be the biggest headache trying to find the right combination of audio settings, drivers, etc.
My favorite ROM was CoreDroid, basically because the theme is beautiful, but no matter what radio/kernel I used It took literally 15 minutes to get a satellite lock. I tried faster fix from the market, I went into the system to make sure it was set to North-America and not Europe nothing worked.
Android Revolution is another awesome ROM, however, I had Wi-Fi issues. "Obtaining IP Address" is as far as it would get before finally disconnecting. Once again I flashed different radios and kernels and still no go.
What I finally kept is the Stock ROM Optimized Rooted and to make this ROM super responsive I used LeeDroid's 1.8Ghz Kernel. I use SetCPU and keep it at 1.267Mhz. (1.6Mhz when playing games or multitasking. Never locked up) I can open my app drawer and give it one flick, and i can watch 90 apps zoom by in less then a second with no hesitation ever. It's very fast, very smooth, no force closes, Gps hits 9 satellites in less then 15 seconds we have full lock, mobile data is 3.8 down, 2.2 up (average) bluetooth file transfer works, and voice activated dialing, sound is perfect, and for people looking to tether, just get wireless tether from the market. It does Wi-Fi and bluetooth. I tethered to my playstation 3 just to see how well it would do a HD netflix stream, and it was flawless. Never had to stop to buffer.
I'm also on the stock radio which is 06.04.06_m, Everything is so smooth and perfect I see no need to change until AT&T releases there version of gingerbread and it has ROOT access. The problems I have had with different ROM's are isolated and doesn't mean your going to have the same problem. It's weird but that's how it works. 2 exact phones, both running same setup, can have 2 totally different problems. Just the way it is in Flashing Land.
I'm no Pro, just giving my opinion and facts with my particular unit. The different ROM's seems to be like the captivate. You gain something, you lose something.
Super Circle Battery Icon works great as well. Get it here
3/16/2011 - Version 2 flashed without a glitch. Wireless, Gps, mobile data, all work as well or better. I also flashed LeeDroid's 2.2. 6 o/c kernel and everything is dead on. Great Job
That's all I want to do it root it, increase the volume and get wifi tether working. Right now if you want to not have any drivers issues it seems like the current on the phone works best Thanks for the info!
I also wanted to increase the cpu speed, did you take much of a hit on the battery?

Not at all, it last all day. Put SetCPU on "ondemand" and when I'm not using phone for awhile I simply type *#*#4636#*#* and set is to GSM only and that's another way to save a lot of battery. I also use a app called easy switch where I can turn off mobile data completely when not in use. I have awesome battery life.
i've been using the cm7 nightlies. i don't particularly enjoy htc sense and rather prefer the aosp style android.
I too am loving the Stock ROM Optimized-Rooted-etc. I've only tried it and a build of CM7, which seemed not quite as smooth as the aforementioned ROM. Additionally, whenever I played the game Rush Hour and got a perfect score, it would always force close [not a problem with the stock-optimized ROM].
I am considering trying LeeDroid's kernel on top of Stock-optimized ROM to boost performance a little more, but I'm a little unsure about the process. Do I just copy his kernel to my sd card and then flash it in CWM Recovery using the "install zip from sdcard" command? I assume a similar technique is used to install the super circle battery mentioned in the OP?
I don't see RCMix HD in the OP. I've been using 3.4 and it's solid. If you look at the thread there's hardly any complaints.
Great write-up. I've been thinking about starting a thread asking developers/users to give a quick description of popular ROMs and go over the pros/cons. It's kind of difficult to sift through 200+ pages of discussions about each ROM and get a clear idea what it's like. Thanks for throwing your 2 cents in. I've been happy with the stock rooted ROM, but I've thought about trying out a couple of others, maybe Revolution, if anyone wants to through 2 more cents into the pot.

Im building a rom/kernel now based off stock Rom and compiling kernel from inspire source. Already got the extended power menu done, hopefully it'll be out in a few days. Not sure if the kernel will be done or not but hopefully I can get it out at the same time as the Rom.
+1 for Optimized Stock Rom. I liked Android Revolution, but my Inspire would take 10-15 minutes to get a GPS lock. With OSR, I get lock in 15-30 seconds. No downside to this ROM at all for me!

Right now I'm undecided and switching between Revolution 4 Beta 2 Gingerbread and twopumpchump's Stock optimized with LeeDroid kernel. I'm getting better download speeds with the latter option but both are exceptionally good roms.

Thanks everyone! Anyway I have a question that I would of posted in the CM7 dev thread but I dont have permission since I havent posted much. Is anyone having bat drain issues with the newest build (RC1.1 MR2) using the GB radio 2.5? I have lost over 10% bat life in 25 mins while in airplane mode, no data including wifi and the screen was only on for maybe 2 or 3 mins. It may be a problem on my end but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having an issue with this. Oh and thanks to all you devs for doing all the hard work and dealing with angry wifes or girlfriends! We all appreciate it!

On mr2 it did feel like my battery was draining faster than normal.. with the stock kernel at least. Glad I'm not the only one try switching kernels

I actually had this problem too with the stock kernel, and once I overclocked with the Dream kernel it actually stopped draining my battery, strange.
I did try using Imoseyon's CM7 leankernel but had the same effect. Ill try the dream kernel and report back. Thank guys!!
I'm on my first day with this build of CM7, with MR2.5 and noticed my battery has drained way faster than it did with gingeritis.
Did you try wiping battery stats?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
Is there an official name for this kernel, or someplace to get it? I tried a quick Google search for "htc thunderbolt dream kernel", and it didn't bring up anything definite.
I noticed the battery drain too. CM7 7.1.0 RC1 with the MR2.5 radio. It seems to be "cell standby" that's using the highest percentage of the battery. I have it set to CDMA / EvDo auto.
What programs do you have running? Are you overclocked? I an running mr2.5 cm7.1 rc1.1 and still have 22% on 18 hours unplugged. 3 hour screen on, lots of texting, xda browsing, market updates, and an hour of plans vs zombies. On stock kernel, no overclocking. Using interactive governor.

I do have things set to run in the background, but they don't even register a high enough percentage in the battery usage to show there. I was not having battery issues with the 7.0.1 RC 6 on MR1 (the last build).
I've tried two of the utkanos kernels (not the OC one), and the dream kernel. On both of the utkanos kernels, I had no data. I tried rebooting several times, switching data on and off, and changing the network mode. No luck. The dream kernel took several minutes, but data finally came on. I haven't used it long enough to comment on any battery life differences between stock CM7 and this.

Ok so here's the news on my end. With the dream kernel things seem much better! However I was watching my ma usage and it went from 48ma to 240ma something after turning on wifi. Then after turning wifi off it never dropped. I rebooted and things went back to a cool 48ma. I'm guessing my original problem was with the stock kernel. But now that I'm on the new one the phone wont power down the wifi or something and made me burn thru my bat till I rebooted. Any ideas gents? Reboot did fix but that usually kills a good 4 to 10% of my bat everytime. I have next to nothing running in the background too.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
Guess I should add that now after reboot I'm around 100 ma usage and steady with wifi on. Maybe a reboot once a day might do the trick till CM is finalized. Was thinking bout trying the mr2 radio stead of 2.5. Anyone know if there's a difference or advantage to either?

I've tried several different ROMs, as well as several different battery saving apps, but I keep running into the same problem with my Droid Charge - after a certain amount of time with the mobile network off, it will not turn back on without either a restart or a toggle of airplane mode. There has to be a bug in the software design, as the same issue occurs with Greenpower, Juice Defender, 2x, and Tasker. I've been on stock, Humble ROM, and am currently on Eclipse, but none of these ROMs have fixed this issue.
Are there any developers out there who can fix this issue? I get almost 20 hours of battery life when I use Juice Defender (compared to about 7 hrs without it), but I can't keep restarting my phone and toggling airplane mode in the middle of the day.
Any suggestions or fixes? I know that many are experiencing the same issue, but it never seems to get addressed.
You're more likely to get an answer to your question if you post it in the correct section -- development is for releases and tutorials; Q&A goes in General (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074281).
From what I have read, you cant really use Juice Defender or other similar apps with the charge. For some reason, when those apps turn off the radio, it won't always come back on. Sometimes a reboot fixes it and sometimes not.
This is a radio issue so I don't think a rom can fix it. I tried Juice with EE4 and it worked if you did not disable the radio but battery savings is almost non-existent. I have not tried it on EP1Q though. I am lucky to get 10 hrs on my battery.

I've had good results running Juice Defender with 3G where the radio comes back pretty much all the time. 4G doesn't fair nearly as well, not coming back about 30% of the time.
I tend to use 3G most of the time, only switching to 4G when I need the insane speed (tethering or Netflix watching). The battery life is much better.

Which radio are you using? EE4? or EP1Q?
As far as EE4 goes, I also agree that JuiceDefender is too inconsistent to run since the data always drops out. However, when I ran the full EP1F/EP1H (I forgot which one I flashed to) GB leak awhile back just to try out, JD was actually working quite well to at least a 90% consistency in restoring data after unsleeping my phone. Unfortunately with all the other bugs going on with the GB leaks I reflashed back to EE4, and now I've flashed to the EP1Q modem only. I've yet to try JD with the EP1Q modem, but I'll give it a try later today.
Wait, we can use the EP1Q radios with an EE4 rom?

yes you can modems are independent to ROMs and kernels

I always thought there would be compatibility issues...doing that ASAP.

Here's the [EP1Q] radios: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215167
Also there are no compatibility issues by far, I'm still running Humble's 1.51 EE4 ROM with imoseyon's 0.13.3 kernel and it runs beautifully.

Scroll down a bit on his twitter feed and you'll find it. Be sure you download the correct 0.13.3 version since 0.13.5 is unstable and will cause bootloops on your phone.
The only instance I've run into issues so far with is music streaming. It seems my GMusic and Pandora will randomly have popping sounds while streaming music. It's nothing too major for me but just in case anyone was wondering why they could be getting it.
Thanks. Should I go with his or imnuts? Just wanna know if there's a big difference between the two like speed an battery life...

You will score higher in Quadrant with imoseyon's kernel although that's kind of meaningless. Some people swear they notice significant speed increases, but I haven't noticed anything. As for battery life...they're about equal.

From what I have read, you cant really use Juice Defender or other similar apps with the charge. For some reason, when those apps turn off the radio, it won't always come back on. Sometimes a reboot fixes it and sometimes not.
This is a radio issue so I don't think a rom can fix it. I tried Juice with EE4 and it worked if you did not disable the radio but battery savings is almost non-existent. I have not tried it on EP1Q though. I am lucky to get 10 hrs on my battery.

Can anyone confirm whether the EP1Q Radio makes any difference with the Juice Defender mobile network issue? I don't want to go to the hassle of switching radios unless this fixes the issue.
hiien said:
Which radio are you using? EE4? or EP1Q?
As far as EE4 goes, I also agree that JuiceDefender is too inconsistent to run since the data always drops out. However, when I ran the full EP1F/EP1H (I forgot which one I flashed to) GB leak awhile back just to try out, JD was actually working quite well to at least a 90% consistency in restoring data after unsleeping my phone. Unfortunately with all the other bugs going on with the GB leaks I reflashed back to EE4, and now I've flashed to the EP1Q modem only. I've yet to try JD with the EP1Q modem, but I'll give it a try later today.

I'm on EE4. I'd be curious to hear if EP1Q makes a difference. Please let everyone in this forum know.
Im on EP1Q modem and I installed JD back on but it still doesnt work with 4G. On the other hand with 3G it seems to work if im in the same area for some time but when im going from city to city the mobile data enabling is still an issue.
How is CM7 working now? when I had one, it would drop data, boot with no data, and the battery drivers were all screwed up...how is it now? Have a lot of the mistakes been corrected from the original G2x's that were shipped? (reboots, data drops, etc)...??? Any help would be appreciated. Tired of this Single core phone, and found a good deal on a G2x.

Mine is working great.. Came running 2.3.3 with no problems. I rooted and left stock rom for awhile still no problems. Then flashed faux123's oc/uv kernel ran fantastic. Tried a few different roms and settled on triggers 8/22 2.3.5 rom with faux123's oc/uv kernel as my daily driver with no problems so far...

Running the CM7 nightly on my G2x for past two days. Haven't noticed any problems. Been stable, battery life is good.
The APN Issue is still there, but it no longer drops data. Battery life is AMAZING now.
I couldn't deal with the piece of **** iPhone 4. I came running back to the G2x. Ive kept it stock so far and it's amazing!

I've been running MIUI. WiFi Calling isn't working yet (which sucks) but I'm using Faux's 4.2 Kernel and getting great battery life and very little issues.
With Faux's kernel, WiFi will sometimes fail which requires a restart, and sometimes using USB Mass Storage will lock up.
Sounds bad, but aside from WiFi calling not working, the other issues are pretty rare.

yes one of the most stable roms, it is based off stock 2.3.3 but imo way better with the edt tweaks such as lockscreens and battery configurations, very fast and reliable
By the way. Has the reboot issue been fixed if i flash the newest weapon?

For me, I had absolutely no reboots at all on the newest version until I went and flashed Faux's OC/UV kernel. To be fair, my battery life is plenty better, just a little unstable. Weapon by itself is amazing.
EDIT: Forgot to say I came from 2.3.5, so I came from a complete wipe.
