IBTL.
This is subjective as all hardware is not the same. You need to find what works best for your setup and run with it.
Neither are really faster, but you have to be careful because i9000 kernels are often incompatible with captivates and your phone will behave strangely if you flash the wrong kernel.

I tend to believe since i9000 roms are always more recent (since att s**** at updates ) they will be faster , but since they were not made for captivate , less 'crisp' in some areas , all this is really subjective to the usage of the phone ..
There is middle ground here , like Andromeda and DRAGON rom , both NON based off i9000 roms neither captivate (i9010 & i9088 ) , using there original kernel you can use any modem you like , with no issues . And since there kernel did not need to be reoriented you dont lose any of the crisp , Andromeda being based of 2.2 is probably the closest to the Captivate source right now , Dragon being the latest kernel released by samsung is definitly the most stable and crisp kernel out there , there is no source for it but neither there is for the latest 2.2.1 out there either , like someone said in this thread what works best for you is what you shoudl use so dont hesitate and flash them all and please dont limit your testing to a few hours days is what you will nbeed to make up your mind ..

i9000 ROMs should give you faster data speeds since the use HSDPA and HSUPA (i897 ROMs use HSDPA but not HSUPA).
i897 ROMs should give you better sound quality on calls since they utilized the noise cancellation audience chip which the i9000 does not have.
As far as ROM speed itself, I do not think that is based on which source is used, but on the actual ROM itself. What I mean is not all i897 ROMs will have the same performance, and not all i9000 will have the same performance.
That is the great thing about ROMs, try different ones and use the one you like best (or switch between several you like to keep it fresh!)

It's not necessarily the ROM that give you better sound quality or faster speed. That is in that is in the Modem and kernel. You can "basically" use any of the modems with "most" ROM's (BE VERY CAREFUL NOT ALL MIX. FOLLOW DIRECTION ON ROM THREAD). JK4 has really good speed and you can use that with most ROM's

Thanks a lot. I use eXistz beta 7 kernel on my cognition 4.2 ROM. Are you saying I can replace the KB1 modem? Are you recommending that I should replace KB1 with JK4. If I do that than probably I should replace my eXistz beta 7 kernel with either speedmod or suckerpunch kernels? One question is: how to do all this from CWM without doing odin back to stock and reflashing the whole stuff? Thanks

You can flash kernels and modems right over the rom without going to stock first.
SGS Tools is probably the easiest way.
FYI JK4 is an i9000 modem. Flashing it with a KB1 KERNEL may yield les than ideal results.

My employer just purchased an AT&T Captivate and loves it. He has already loaded it with apps and I flashed the overclock kernal (1.2) to it to make it a little bit snappier. He uses his phone and Galaxy Tablet for work and is interested in trying out a rom because he isn't too happy about the interface. I have the Droid X and that is the entire reason that he wanted a Droid phone. Anyway, he is addicted now and I am not too sure about the Captivate and don't want to make a mistake for obvious reasons, but would like to "hook him up" with a good rom. Any suggestions? I would like to put it on using Clockwork Mod, he just purchased it 2 days ago off of the market and I would like for him to see that he can actually use it. Oh, the phone is at 2.1, rooted with z4root and the 1.2 kernal.
He also has a friend that claims to have a Captivate overclocked to a stable 1.4? I have done A LOT of reading and short of trying something out on the phone, I am as ready as I can be! I have made a nandroid backup of the phone!
Thanks for any expert help out there!
You will come to find out that these threads get locked all the time because what might be good for one phone is not for another. Unfortunately I could suggest say Cognition because it works great on my phone, but his phone might not be stable. Same if I said to use Doc's rom. It really depends on if he wants to stay on a Captivate rom vs. an I9000 rom. Each has pros and cons and the best way to chose is read about each rom available and just test.

Setirons kernel goes up to 1.6 actually but there are not many captivates out there that can handle even the 1.4. Mine is only able to run 1.3 stable. Trial and error. Also you have to remember the captivates battery life is not the greatest stock so add an oc'ed kernel and battery is gonna drain faster.

I think you will find quite a few people who agree with me here. Every custom rom I have tried has bugs that stock doesn't have. And I hate that the answer to that is to flash the new version of the rom every week. Stuff like media volume, battery life and these so called GPS "fixes"
Stock + root + lagfix - bloatware = best combination for reliability and full functionality IMO
I will continue to try custom roms, maybe this will change in the future

What Rom did you download? It depends on if it has a Voodoo lag fix, which you would have heard the voice or if it is a lag fix you need to enable. Go into Recovery and see if there are any additional menus like CWM and Lagfix or something like that.

I do agree with you. Until we get a 2.2 rom based off a CAPTIVATE NON-BETA 2.2 Build, I am sticking with 2.1. Maybe a ROM based off Armani would work OK, but so far all the ROMs based off i9000 or Captivate 2.2 betas leave me wanting.
I use one for a while and find some little irritations that i just can't stand -so i go back to 2.1.
I know the Devs are trying, but we need 2.2 source for captivate to really have some rock solid roms. Samsung still says it is on its way, so I will still patiently wait - i have other toys to play with too.
Thanks to all. After bricking it twice, once requiring one click odin I finally got it. Funny thing is the rom didn't get me, it was the theme posted right under, it was a sic apple! Anyway thanks to the great people who take the time to write the tutorials and take their time to help a complete stranger. I can only continue to learn so that I can repay the favor by helping others. Thanks again!!

What is the reason? I'm really curious about that.
We have one. Check here for a list of all roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887525
The only ones I found were Froyo with Gingerbread themes...
There are some what of Gingerbread ROM's ported from the I9000, with CM7, Far from a daily ROM. As well it is sort of difficult to actually flash, crazy kernel crap.
There is a team working on bringing 2.3 to the galaxy s. I haven't heard anything in about a month but they still had some issues to work out
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
CM7 for SGS
There were people working on porting gingerbread to the captivate but many of them are now involved in the project to bring CM7 to the i9000 and the captivate. The i9000 however seems to be the priority and it is not yet complete search for cmsgs on google to find out more
The problem is that we don't have the source to all of the proprietary Samsung bits, like hardware drivers, leaving some of the hardware either completely non-functional or malfunctioning. With the 2.2 roms, it's a lot easier because we have leaked 2.2 roms that were designed for our hardware, or the source code for other devices in the galaxy s line.
Though the Nexus S is similar to the Galaxy S line, there are a few hardware differences that make porting difficult. I've been following the CM7 twitter feed for the i9000 - it seems like they've figured most of the stuff out. The major hurdle was that the camera wasn't working, which it now is, and the remaining problems are all somewhat minor things - polling problem in the radio interface layer, wifi glitches.. Hopefully we'll see a proper build a lot sooner now that the camera has been sorted.

just falshed away from CM7 it is not all working
The main parts are working but many things still do not work for our cappys or the I9000 or the vibernt.
It is very useable if u dont use bluetooth, moible AP, Car docking, andmany other highly used featers.
It is fine for web surfing and Phone calls, and texting, and a few other minor things.
So for those of us that need the biger parts of the ROM to work it just isnt going to cut it.
I see there a few i9000 no CM7 2.3.2 roms also i have seen a vibernt 2.3.2 rom.
It comes down to no one has worked or completed work on 2.3.x to our cappys. besides the CM7 thats far from 100% ready for the masses.
I mean i can handle giveing up a few things but with a few custom 2.2 roms and a nice kernel i get benchmarks and many other scores just as high if not higher then CM7 2.3.3, and give up nothing.
So y flash and deal with a few reboots and force close prb i found with a few apps.
Btw yes i had the most current cm7 20110304.
i wish it worked a little better and i am sure it will it just takes time.
I figer this y work on that ROM when we have an i9000 2.3.2 rom unsure but i think it would be easier to port. then an non sammy rom.
But much many be learned there at CM7 helping in converting the sammy 2.3.2 to our cappys.
But i can say i am a bit unhappy that vibernt got the i9000 working on there ohones frist
Those are just my opions not tring to offend anyone.
I've been using CM7 with no problems
I've been using CM7 as a daily driver for a week now, with no issues. I love it actually! You can find clear instructions on how to install it here:

The WiFi issue was fixed today, so we migth get an updated release today.
The one issue that made come back to a Samsung ROM is the camera. The picture quality is mediocre at best, and it takes too long to start.

Except that you sacrifice HSUPA and Bluetooth voice dialing. Not the case with Perception.
I'm in the same boat, trying to decide what to use next to stay current.
Cog is based on 2.2, and not 2.2.1, so it lacks certain things, such as HSUPA+ and voice dialing. Also, Perception is the only ROM I know of with the lock screen chooser and integrated music player/ glass lock. Every other ROM uses the AOSP lock screen, which I hate.
Oh yeah, I forgot Cog 3 didn't have HSUPA. Talk about a difference when I flashed Supernova.

To be honest I'm not even sure I (or we) need to stay current. I'm still using Perception 10.2, because 10.3 and 10.4 didn't do anything but update apps and kernel, which I've already done myself. The ROM as-is is stable, with no major bugs, and everything works as far as I am aware.

well it all depends on what you want. if you want a solid build with great performance then any of adam's roms (supernova, phoenix, firefly (started by adam)) would be a great choice. cognition would also be a good choice. just look around in the dev section and find one you like.
If you are looking for a stock themed fast rom on 2.2.1 try dags newest. Has stock theme option ousting chinese i19088 which is a basic identical twin to the captivate

I had HSUPA with Cognition. However I didn't have BT calling. Other ROMs such as FireFly are built on Rogers Froyo as well and it seems to have both HSUPA and BT calling.

What ROM should I get to increase the phones overall performance and responsiveness? I just want something that is very stable and something that will improve my phone in a good way.
Every single rom is gonna be a million times better than stock eclair...for your first time I would stick with a froyo rom as those are easier to flash. Just pick one
oh man.. where to start. Honestly it varies so much from user to user. Your best bet is to hop on some of the threads and read some of the comments.. first few pages and the last few.. try to get an idea of how well the ROM is working for users and battery life. There are a plethora of 2.2.1 ROMs with excellent battery life. The gingerbread ROMs are coming around to having decent to good battery life. But again, it all varies from user to user.
Good 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROMs
Serendipity, Paragon, Phoenix, Ultimate and theres more of coarse, these were among my top choices.
A lot of the gingerbread ROMs can be found in the first page of development.
But please use the search function. There has been multiple threads started with the same question.. about the same topic.

I tried serendipity and its a great rom but I like a side scrolling app drawer as opposed to the cube effect. I use apex 5.3 (froyo 2.2.1) not to be confused with apex 6.x( gingerbread) because its simply works. The five dock bottom is great and battery life is amazing. And the jk4 modem actually gets me much better reception than the stock kb1. but if you like the stock feel cognition is the way to go

If you'd like to use your original TouchWiz side-scrolling app drawer, give Cognition a try instead. Cognition is best-known as the 2.2 ROM that tries to stay as close as possible to the original, with a ton of under-the-hood features and fixes (like lagfix), minus the bloatware.
(I can't stand TouchWiz, but still love Cog's stability, so I use Launcher Pro (with its vertical app drawer) instead)
cognition rom is my favorite rom when it comes to stability. and its smooth as ever now.
I think I will stick to serendipity. Now I am trying to figure out what modems do and if I need one to be able to use a kernel? I was looking at Onix Kernel and it says "Since based on i9000 sources, use an i9000 modem". I am not sure what a modem is first of all.

technically, as long as everything works for you as of right now - you're done. You can sit back and enjoy the rom. If you feel ambitious, you can try a different kernel. I dont know what serendipity uses but I found the Onix kernel to be one of the smoothest froyo kernel, available. Thats, of course, my opinion though.

That's what's packaged in the rom. You don't NEED that modem specifically or need to change ... Unless you're cell signal sucks then check out the modem sticky at the top of the dev section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391 You do need an I9000 modem because the kernel in serendipity is based off I9000 sources.
What you NEED to do is stop right now. Enjoy your phone and READ everything you can. Once you feel comfortable with flashing and knowing how to get yourself out of bad situations, flash away. No one can tell you which rom is best for you. You're more than welcome to narrow your choice to a few, then try them out or try them all. The key is knowing how to do it and the things that can happen.

Apex 5.3, as most other roms do, comes with a great kernel and modem so you dont have to worry about it. I cant link the thread right now but you can search for it under development

I am getting a little overwhelmed...all these great roms coming out. I see that dman works a lot on porting...and now he has CatyRom. I am trying to get a poll on everyones opinion regarding the best rom for the infuse. Recently got my infuse...day after I got it, I installed UCKK1...now UCKK3 and downloading UCKK4, DarkyRom JVR 10.3 and CatyRom all at the same time.
Decisions...decisions. Help me out guys/gals!
Thanks.
In reality they are are the best roms. It comes down to preferences really. I for example like simple roms, that I can customize to my liking so I use CM7.

I figured it is a matter of preference but I am more interested in functionality and which ROMs are working in full. Themes included would be nice but not necessary. I am running GB 2.6.35.7 and really modded Homescreen.
You can start by picking a category of ROM. There are Froyo and Gingerbread ROM's (and ROM's with ICS framework that have been banned, so you'll need to look elsewhere for those), there are Samsung ROM's and there are AOSP/CM/MIUI ROM's, there are AT&T ROM's and there are non-AT&T ROM's, there are Infuse-based ROM's and there are Galaxy S-based ROM's. Each category of ROM will only work with a matching category of kernel. You should start by learning the differences between these: for example, AT&T Infuse-based ROM's paired with AT&T Infuse-based kernels are the only ones that support MHL/HDMI-out on the Infuse. Samsung ROM's have TouchWiz framework, apps, and out-of-the box support for more media formats than other ROM's (non-TouchWiz ROM's will require 3rd party apps to play the same music and video files). Galaxy S-based ROM's will have the no-sound-on-first-call-after-boot bug. For example, DarkyROM is a Galaxy S-based non-AT&T Samsung Gingerbread ROM, whereas UCKK4 is an Infuse-based AT&T Samsung Gingerbread ROM (which only has HDMI support when paired with the stock UCKK4 kernel).
Just curious why are the ics framework roms so taboo? Esp since we still have no gb support(not to mention att pretty much already killed the phone) from the phone creators I figured you developers are our only hope.
Hardwise aside from low ram how well do yall think ics would run?

I'm no developer, but it has to do with starting from scratch on everything from the kernel up to the framework for ics, whereas with gb there have been several leaks to start off of and tweak. so technically if a developer were to start from scratch, they'd probably use ics. but we don't have any developers that dedicated for infuse, most top developers left the infuse forums months ago.
so asking for a full ics rom from the start-up devs we do have is a little above and beyond, and the experienced devs we do have won't spend that much time on this phone. and devs don't like it very much when someone who doesn't have a deeper understanding of what goes into making a rom just states that they want one.
and ics would run fine on the infuse if developed properly (and especially if officially). Technically the infuse should get ics as per the statement samsung made back in May at google IO about keeping phones sold updated for 18 months or something like that, but doubt that will ever happen.

Since the infuse is now officially supported by Galnet Miui we will see ics one way or the other
So ics frameworks were banned because the moderators don't think the infuse developers have enough experience?

No, the ICS framework roms i think used kernals where the source had not been released, which is illegal. I have a terrible memory, but I think that's why, but correct me if I'm wrong
I believe you are correct.

The kernel used in the thread for Galnet MIUI ICS for the Infuse actually did have its source posted. But then the link to the source disappeared and the thread was locked. Conspiracy? But now that there's an official build on the Galnet site, I don't really care.
What kernals
Can we use on CM7.
I am a compulsive flasher, there you go I admit it.
One thing though I am sure it's been mentioned somewhere but what kernals work with CM7 RC02. I see some kernals mention they will softbrick the phone, so avoid those but which don't.
Many thanks
Ah Ok I found that hard to believe that mods would do that. Ty for the reply

Favorite Rom
Most usable Rom for me has been Serendipity VII.
Everything works except HDMI. Has the first call bug.
I wish I could utilize MIUI or CM7 on a daily basis, but I like streaming bluetooth music and/or calls to my car and those 2 roms lack proper bluetooth drivers.
download a few roms test see what one you like most
WIN the best rom for your phone

It's nice to see all of the activity and roms in development lately. Lots of good choices, but Serendipity has been a favorite of mine as well.
I'd like to join this if I may
Which one has the best kernel for max CPU performance? ie 1.5Ghz+
Infusion kernel is the only GB kernel that can be OC ...and its 1.4 or 1.6..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Is this what most ROM's use? Or do most ROM's utilize the original kernel included in the stock phone? I should probably read the details of the roms more clearly right?
Well...the roms I build all include entropys daily driver which cannot be overclocked but is an amazing and smooth kernel....the ported roms have the modified hellraiser kernel but u can flash entropys or bedwas infusion kernel over them....yes reading would be better before you flash anything
