For me, the most stable kernel I have yet used is the kernel by dodgejcr (v1.3), which can be found here Moreover, since I run rooted stock, there were two main issues with the available kernels (though they are all excellent work):
1. "adb remount" will not work,
2. "terminfo" is not set up, so nano text editor will not properly work.
Due to this I made of mod of the kernel which I use, and thought someone else could use this.
From dodgejcr --
The kernel includes:
Overclock to 1.63GHz
--Also added 1.01GHz, 1.20GHz, 1.42GHz
Undervolted
Interactive governor
BFQ Scheduler
Sleepers disabled
Enabled powersave governor
Updated cpu scheduler with 200-line patch
Enabled swap support and init.d scripts (needs testing)
This will install the su binary to /system/bin and /system/xbin/ to provide you root so remove superuser.apk before flashing

My mods to the kernel
1. Edited the default.prop file:
(i) Gives adb root privileges,
(ii) Allows for "adb remount" to work.
2. Added some new global environment variables:
(i) Set up terminfo, so that nano can be run (by typing "nano"),(ii) Changed the terminal prompt to show your current path,(a) Instead of showing /$ regardless of the path, it now shows [email protected]<path_name>/$.
(b) For example, if you are in /system/app, the prompt is [email protected]/system/app/$.
3. Additionally, I added the nano binary, and a full bash terminal to the update.

Cloverdale,
I would like to actually talk you (not thru people that do not know me) about this whole confusion with you using my kernel. I dont mind it one bit. I know my source hasnt been posted yet but in no way is my kernel closed source. I know XDA has some issues with posting a kernel with no source (that is why I personally havent posted it here) but the actual GPL gives me 30days to get it up. Im still working on developing that kernel so I figure I will get some more work done to it before I go posting the source. I am a firm believe in opensource and by me posting it on SDX you are more than welcome to take it and edit my zip for your needs and post it up for others. Proper credit was given and I really never had a problem with it. I like my kernel and its flattering that you do as well. I cant post in development here at XDA as I only have 6 posts or I would explain this to the people on that thread. I think it would be a good idea to quote this PM on the thread so that people will know the facts instead of making assumptions. I will also talk to tamb, I am pretty cool with him so he probably just got a thing or two mixed up. Thank you,

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to add instructions. The OP has been edited.
You may want to post your source on this, dodgekernel was posted here at one point, and was pulled due to the source code not being posted.

No... "source" as in source code.
Just flashed this, running good. 1600 was the max my phone could run anyways, and I love having adb working right now. I removed the su stuff before flashing, I rather like the security of the superuser app having to whitelist apps for root access. Also removed the bash part, as I already had bash on my phone setup and didn't want to bother with redoing it all... lol It is really nice for some scripts and the like to actually work without editing when they ask for userid to be root, what with the passwd and group file being added too. I'll keep using it and see how it goes, but so far so good. Thank you!
Also, does this default to the deadline scheduler? I noticed that's what I'm on, but I didn't know if it defaulted that way or my settings stuck.

I cannot find it posted, but I sent dodgejcr an email requesting it. Hopefully I will have it up by the end of the day.
The point is it wasn't yours to post, which is why you don't have the source code. Which in a way brings me to my next question: does this terminal modification rely on dodgejcr's kernel in order to work, or would it work with any Sense kernel? Why wasn't this posted on it's own?
I'm about 99% sure, and I could be wrong, that dodgejcr did not approve of you taking this kernel and listing it under "cloverdale's development mod". Dodgejcr already added init.d support, so you didn't add anything to his kernel. I'm guessing, again, could be wrong, you couldn't figure out edify scripting so you placed your files inside an update zip that worked that included dodgejcr's kernel. Why didn't you create your own kernel to avoid this entire issue? I would love to see dodgejcr's kernel at xda, but this is entirely the wrong way to achieve that. Could a mod please suspend or lock this thread til these issues can be resolved?

You can't let them get to you like that. There are people like that all over any forum. And no mod would shut a thread down immediately without giving an opportunity to fix it. And you gave credit where it was needed, and didn't claim anything was yours that wasn't, so I don't know that anything would warrant any such action here. I've seen that you have contributed a few things here, far more than that guy. Don't letsomeone like that chase you off.

Ignore the troll tambourineman...just kidding...
He can't help himself, no where does the OP not credit the appropriate people
Cloverdale - just ignore this guy, he's a buddy of dodgejcr and shouldn't be concerned with what you're posting if dodgejcr isn't concerned.
Impailer - is something missing from this thread or not?
The reason that the Dodge kernel was taken down in the first place is that there was no source code posted. Since this is the same kernel and there is still no source code posted (none posted at SDX, either), it's just a matter of time before the mods will take it down.
Cliff's Notes: GPL
I am going to redo this with an open source kernel and repost in a few days (when I have time again). Thanks for the support.
I was trying to warn you so that you wouldn't have to go through the same frustration that I did.
Local mod sent a PM mid-day on Friday (I didn't get an e-mail notification... is that XDA default?) that said I had 48 hours to post source in my thread. 36-37 hours later, my thread was locked in the middle of the night. Talk about annoying.

I just bought the paid version of rom manager and I cant view the premium roms, just the free ones... any sugestions?
It all depends on what rom maker has contacted and hosted their roms with rom manager. So from what I see only Cognition is downloadable from there as DG is hosting his roms with them.
Just cause the rom is here or elsewhere on the net doesn't mean it automatically shows up in Rom Manager. The rom maker has to give it to rom manager to host.
I hope I understood your question
I understand that, but according the the market description and everywhere else I looked there should be a larger selection if you buy the premium version, which I did, and that was the reason I bought it.
that description covers every single phone, true on other phones there is a wider selection to choose from. but on the captivate you have a VERY limited selection, CM7 and i wasnt aware but apparently cognition also. there is a free version of a rom manager like grouping of roms for your device its called the development section right here on xda
Well that was a waste of 6 bucks...

The market description is generic, the only premium rom you can get on a captivate with rom manager is cm7.
Same problem here. CM7 page says to use ROM Manager Premium to flash latest CM7. I bought the app and no Premium ROMs. In fact, only ROM was in the free section (Design Gears Cognition).
I tweeted the app author about the Prem ROMs, specifically CM7. Never got any reply. Now I noticed that the Cognition ROM had been moved from the Free section to the Prem section.
May have to contact Paypal for refund - app not as advertised and no contact from developer. I'm guessing it was a good app at one time for all the previous reviews and recommendations from CWM and CM, but something's changed.

no. this app is great for other ANDROID phones, but not galaxy S phones.....do some research next time.
Hope you weren't directing that to me. Research was done. Check out Cyanogen's wiki on installing CM7 on Galaxy S phones. I'd post the link for you, but I need to post more to this forum in order to post outside links. And i'm sure you'll be able to find their Wiki easily.

I was directing that at you. I have installed cm7 on one captivate using rom manager (free version). It worked fine but rom manager has never had roms for our phone. It has a bunch of roms available for my desire z and my mytouch4g, but nothing for the captivate. Want to know why? Rom developers don't put their roms in rom manager. Its not the fault of koush (the app dev for rom manager), the fault lies on the rom devs. You want to complain that there are no roms available for your device on rom manager? Complain to them. Don't lay blame on koush or talk trash about his app.
Sent from my HTC Vision
The big reason that cm7 directs you towards rom manager is that the creater of rom manager played a big part in the captivate getting cm7 in the first place. Its their way of saying thanks for all the hard work. I believe the plan is to host cm7 with rom manager after they have a stable release

@Pirateghost - saying that the developer didn't reply to a question about his app is not trashing him. Nor did I intend to trash him. If you'd check RM before ranting to people, you'd see that it does support some CM7 ROMS. And if you'd check CyanogenMod's page and wiki, you'd see that they list using RM as their first option to flash CM7.
I've found my answer to this already, so take this as some constructive criticism; people come to these forums to find answers from people who can help or to get pointed in the right direction. Don't just answer "do some research". Like I already posted; I did the research, and if you did, you would know that both RM and Cyanogen work together. The original thread for this topic was that the Roms weren't showing at the time the OP posted.
Thank you.

Hey all,
I've forked and submitted a pull request to update galaxys 4g and add galaxys 4g mtd.
Currently the teamacid manifest is empty, until we can confirm and update our stuff to correctly support rom manager.
With that, I also suggest that if you wish to add your rom to rom manager that you peruse Koush's document on adding thirdparty support to rom manager.
Specifically:
Finally, to register your ROM for OTA updates, you need to edit your /system/build.prop in your ROM to include your Developer ID ro.modversion (as mentioned above) so ROM Manager can identify the version of your ROM. This is optional as well, but why not get OTA updates if it's just a couple lines of settings!
ro.rommanager.developerid=cyanogen
ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-5.0.5-Droid

Also, I will be working on figuring out goo manager support (open recovery stuff) and possibly recovery switcher.
Just a heads up.
SWEET! !!!
RM support is easy to do now. that document is old. He does ROM hosting now, so it's basically you do everything on a site, upload it, and the RM team will approve it; done.
Just make sure to have the info in the build.prop on the 1st upload.
Edit: hmm..the link I have for RomShare is dead. I'll get with Koush later and get an updated link.
Edit 2: Found it: http://developer.clockworkmod.com/ That was easy. lol

Great, that is very helpful!
My pull request does add Team Acid, which I guess I could have done that part through that link.
The other part was to correct the init the rm manifest pointed to for bml roms, and to add galaxys4gmtd. (as my updated comment in the pull request mentions)
Well, just an fyi. I've officially given up on rommanager support.
But, who cares, right?
It was super simple to setup goo.im support, and I didn't have to wait on a pull request. The support on irc was friendly and I didn't get insulted by them.... <.< >.> *cough* *cough*
Expect to see some TeamAcid roms on GooManager soon!

Before you guys even brought us these ICS roms, I checked out RomManager, and Goo's sites. My impression was RM seemed professional and all, but Goo definately stood out as more dev-friendly & user friendly. Glad you guys set up on Goo. If you don't mind me asking, does Goo host your ROMS free of charge?

TeamAcid has been known to host zip files on goo.im, but their service seems to go out often. I've been putting some work that I personally do on dev-host and sourceforge, as they are more reliable.
But, it is always wise to read the OP of the rom, look for Q&A thread links, and read the directions.
If you don't understand the directions, search the Q&A thread. Rule number one of xda is to read and search before posting.
LLOL. holding back smart ass comment. Can't not say it. To be continued.
I jus got a doubt in my mind jus want to get clarification.I saw so many ROMs available with alot of tweaks and hacking,so i got doubt, in the sake of providing custom ROM can any one bug us and hack all information regarding account password or any key strokes.

Well... There's always a small chance of getting all your info stolen wheter or not you're using a custom rom, but I think none of the developers in this site would want somebody's passwords, at least in this section of the forum.
Most of these developers just do this for fun, what would you win by stealing a google account or whatever can be stolen?
Of course there are apps in the google play that do that, but if you use simple apps i'm sure you'll be fine.
