If u still wanna explore try out firefly and/or Phoenix. Very solid roms. Or if ur more experienced try out cm7 or miui. Both sick 2.3.3 roms. After playing with them I can't see myself ever going back to 2.2.1
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I am a firm believer in the if it works use it philosophy. I have tried 2.3.3 and have gone back to firefly as it has been the most stable. But thats just me. if your current rom work for you, then keep it. Also TiBU is you best friend.
Yeah I tried both of those roms and really,really liked firefly but I kinna missed the close to stock kinna feel. Actually rite now I'm running continuum4 unthemed because I want stock notification bar. But I'm thinking of trying serendipity. Just to check all options. And as far as 2.3 roms, I'm sure I could get them going but I'm not crazy about betas. I love testing.don't get me wrong. But rite now I'm just looking for stability with tons of support

I've had this phone since october and was flashing once or twice a week. Bout two months ago. I tried andromeda. Tired and old saying........it just works.
serendipity is a great rom imo
Haha. The double-edged sword of being able to customize. So many options, and so little time before the next"new thing" comes out.
Got my cappy a couple of months ago, and I've tried serendipity, dilli, phoenix, and now I'm on supernova. I think I'll be sticking with this rom for a while.
I've neglected my wife long enough

I was using Cognition 2.3. The home screen was simpler and has a sleeker look. The app screen was the same. Why does Cog 4 seem like a jump back to my Stock Rom. Maybe I'm just stupid???? lol
Because, you know, it IS a jump back to stock ROM?
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod
whats the point?
why release a new version that is less impressive than its predecessor? Doesn't make whole hell of a lot of sense to me. But again maybe I'm just stupid.
DG's whole point with Cog 4/4.1/4.1.1, is to try to keep it looking and running as stock as possible. Everything that was pre Cog 4 already had an ass ton of themes that were compatible and DG started incorporating them into the ROM's.
DG has a life, so don't jump his nuts and complain about him pushing out a boring ROM. For free. Nobody told you to flash it, and there's plenty of other ROM's out there. Or you can just switch back to your previous ROM.

+1 He even says that he tries to keep it as stock as possible all ROMS have their differences its all about your own personal preference.

I love ALL these custom ROMS I can't seem to keep the same one for more than a week, the only ones that I have been able to kep for long are Cognition and Serendipity.
Cognition 4.1 is meant for people like me that wan custom r o m,but wan it to look like stock 1
I don't think he meant boring like a bad job. Once some themes are ported then everyone should be happy. You can't knock the performance or smoothness of cognition. It will work and be consistent. Maybe it is boring in the fact that you can run it and forget you even have a custom rom going. That's because DG is that good. Thanks again!

Cognition isn't as much a rom as it is a rooted, debloated, stock setup. Couple theme improvements like extended power. Using a voodoo enabled kernel. It is a setup one could achieve if they updated to kb1 on their own relatively easy.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
I liked Cog too, but wanted something different than stock. That's why I loved perception, but its discontinued now. Perception 10.4 is a solid rom, stable, fast, and has that slight aosp feel.
Ultimately I went to FireFly. I love it. I how easy they made it to customize. It comes with an app that will showcase and download the other battery's and dialers. I sometimes feel like I need to enable the lagfix, but haven't yet.

Two posts in the forum and you've managed to criticize the excellent work of one of the most prolific ROM cookers on XDA solely based on your ignorance of what DG does and why. You might want to create a new account and start over. Knocking a guy's work that he provides for free is just bad juju.
I think he can leave his screen name alone. He did not say anything offensive just asked an honest question.

It was an ignorant question, not an honest one. I wasn't in here long before I knew what DG's ROMs are about. Cog 4.x is all about providing a ROM that is as close to stock Froyo as possible without all the bloatware and just a few tweaks to provide better peformance. The kind of things most users who don't want to mess with themed ROMs or exotic kernels want. And criticizing the work that someone provides for free is just wrong whether it makes sense to him or not. I can see knocking a dev for putting out a shoddy product, but with all the choices in ROMs available in here for the Cappy it makes no sense to knock one just bcause you find it "boring."

I have never before used a Custom Rom. I've never used a theme. Until I decided to give Dman's Zeus and ARIES a try. I was scared of bricking my phone but I guess I was feeling adventurous and tried it and it worked out perfectly. I'm so grateful for XDA and people like Dman who provide completely free Custom Rom's like these. I'm so satisfied. So satisfied by his work that not only did I decide to officially make an account on XDA to post this, but I did an entire video Review on it.
Is the youtube link for the video review. I apologize for the poor camera quality and that I couldn't cover anything but THANK YOU XDA community, thank you XDA, thank you Dman, and thank you to all you genius developers who provide us with free custom roms and easy instructions to install them.
EDIT: Ok so apparently I cannot post the video since this is my first post but if you go to Youtube and type in xtonedeffx in the search bar then you will find it, its my only video.
I understand this video would be a LOT more useful to people on the developer page so they can preview it but I also can't post there because I'm new. Either way, I really wanted to show my gratitude and satisfaction.

I tried ZEUS. It's a pretty solid ROM.
The two themes are great already so I never even questioned looking for a third one to be honest. But yeah ^^^what he said.
It is a great rom. I hated my phone until I put Zeus on it. Zeus is much quicker than stock. I also don't have any of the lockups or lags I used to have with stock.
Thats the first thing indeed I noticed. How much faster it is, I knew you could get these new OS's Like GB but I didn't know it would be THAT much faster. Plus I find out a whole bunch of new things about my phone all the time lol, so its like WTFF SERIOUSLY I CAN DO THAT? they need to start selling these Infuses with a rom like ZEUS pre-installed. We would have more owners than the captivate.
Not just more owners than the captivate...but more owners than 99% of all other phones on the market!
Zeus 5.2 is the most solid, stable, fastest and battery saving rom ive ever flashed! (ive flashed bionix, darkyrom, numas, caty, previous zeuzs, i think im forgetting one...all previous have been great and devs did good but zeus definatly my favorite!)

I have a few different theme's for Zeus, make sure you use the ones marked Zeus 5.2 if you're on the most current.
For now they can be found on my thread, soon I will have them all moved over to the Zeus main thread, but until then...
Link To My Lab
May I recommend Color Killer, I'm quite pleased with that one, grab the ICS blue add-on and your infuse will be lookin real good
or of course if you're on a PC my direct links to them are right below
in my signature.
Lol just making sure cause I kept seeing ICS on infuse then it always said MIUI. I guess its just a theme.
And yeah zeus = gingerbread on steroids.
EDIT: Damn Experiment those are some nice skins. If i'm using Aries would I just flash over a new skin and thats it?

There's some very good work being done towards getting CM7 working. A CM7 port using Samsung's proprietary BML partition layout is pretty close, but a CM7 port using the open source MTD layout, which is much easier to manage, is not near.
I think everyone would prefer, for the ease of simplicity of future porting efforts, to get MTD functioning on the SGS4G before tackling CM9/ICS.
I'm working on an ics hybrid now... I've got it to boot but still very unstable. It reboots about every 10 seconds or so... just have patience...

Hi P06o
It's not that our ROMs don't rock, it's just that they're not perfect. They have their issues and they are full of Sami ****, not included in AOSP ROMs such as ICS, CM7/CM9. These ROMs are faster and lighter, not to mention having bigger customization and locality support.

why is it that the captivate and the vibrant have ICS ROM's, but not the SGS4g?

I'm a one man wolf-pack. Other phones have many developers. A few people are helping out, but forward progress still takes time.
The phone is newer then the vibrant. Not even sk4g has ics. It takes time to make software work correctly.
I would be more curious of what your old login was...
Were you actually banned from the forum, or were you aware that having multiple logins on XDA is forbidden?

I ran it for a few days, was stable, very flashy on colors, links are still there just because the threads closed but I am sure with the amount of people that DL it, a mirror can be sent your way. Common bug, didn't see or feel more like people just unfamiliar with the setting, lots of setting the individual user can apply, so people just had issues making their way around the ROM.
Zeus has framework edits and files added from i9000 and libs, and some from cappy to make jkay work... I had to do what I had to do to make the mod work... its not a port bruh .... its infuse based with a lot of major edits, more like hybrid... you Dont like it flash something else, I'm just tired of all the crying over 3 weeks of fezzy and my hard work... that's why I closed the threads.. people are just ungratefull .... it says final for a reason... no more development.... so now ill just pull the download and be done with it. No skin off my back. I thank the ones who actually support Zeus and the work we put in.. have a nice day all...

i have been running zeus since the first day i had my infuse , even though i flash other roms i always went back to zeus because it is my DD , sorry if you think my words are ungrateful but i'm just reporting what i experienced , i'm a noob at android and when i said it feels like a port because well, it acts like a port like you said( hybrid ) and the bugs ( not for some ) acts just like the i9000 ports not trying to flame you at all. and i know you put 3 FULL weeks working on this final rom. but don't expect to be perfect, nothing is perfect we are all just guinea pig to your roms ,thats what you want right? or to have nobody running your hard worked rom
why would you take the download link off? if i offended you, just be pissed at me there are hundreds of people wanted to try out your rom , too much coding make you stressed
i'm still running zeus ztr it as i type
anyways when i get a note i'll be running solaris prime

Does anyone here have a copy of of Z-TR that they can be so kind and upload because the original thread link is not working at all, keeps talking about 404 errors.
I have a copy of ztr 4 of em lol however i dont have the ability to upload it for people to dl!
And after the amount of horsehocky Dman and those who put their time and effort into this have endured, i probably wont upload this file to a share site out of respect to the devs who worked on this!
As much as i would like to be able to lock my phone so no one can access my phone and have my bluetooth fixed, Dman was very clear 2 weeks before release of z-tr that he had gotten sick of all the people giving grief over this that and what not!
When he released z-tr he was also CLEAR as no further dev would go into rom "hence final release".
When he opened a thread for themes i was like sweet a lil theme work perhaps a tiny patch, but once again Grief hit and well it is what it is!
Im happy with what Dman Fezzy and the rest of the collective did with Z-Tr.
My Advice to those griefers dont like the work at&t came out with the update IT SUCKS!
THANKS TO THE COLLECTIVE AND THEIR WORK.
when i get a dif phone i will be looking to the collective and dman for what he makes for [email protected]!
