[Wish/idea] All major Captivate ROM devs unite! - Captivate General

Just looking for a public opinion on this idea. What if the major devs that we all know and love teamed up? The thought to me makes me wetter than a water buffalo. I wonder what the rom capabilitys would be like? Would it solve this pandemic sweeping the xda community known as "flash addict"? Are there devs willing to team up? whats your ideas?

devs colaborate all the time. the reason for so many roms is that different users have differnt wants and needs that conflict and different devs have different ideal on how it should be done.
flash addiction will not be solved by a better rom.
it is imposible to satisfy everyone. you can combine all the popular apps and launchers into one rom but if a user wants light weight that will not meet that users criteria.
that said there have also been teams that do very good work. team komin did amazing work on andromeda. the rom and kernel were both very good. unforunately they are sticking to the i9010 sources and have fallen behind in os version. i wish they would do an alternate rom based on i9000 sources, so we could get gingerbread at that quality.

Agree with above. A big reason devs make roms is for themselves. They add the features they want as well as accepting input from the community.

I also don't see any SGS device listed but can't we convert this ROM to the SGS4G?

Thanks for the heads up. Is he working on porting an already existing vibrant ROM or cooking one from scratch?
Lol. Making a joke. No idea when it will be released, but with all of the new roms that were just released, I'm sure everyone will keep busy with those.

I'll take a look, I don't own this phone but a friend has it running stock and told me he wanted a new phone and that this one was a POS, I told him the hardware is great but Samsung'd coding is just amazingly terrible, so I've been looking for a good ROM to flash for him, but since I don't have the phone was going to just rock CM7 since you can't go wrong.
Any suggestions on a stable/fast ROM? It will be hard to test these for daily use since I don't own the device.

To save yourself the hassle of looking all over this forum for tweaks and stuff, you should probably just stick to ICBINB.7.
Bionix Frost would require you to look for all those tweaks!
Both are just as good though, imo.

Do SGS4G's come with 2.3.3 from factory?

Hey guys, I'm getting this phone via CL. The one I'm looking at guy says its preloaded with 2.3.3 via factory.
Question is if that's even possible since I know OTA for GB on this phone has never happened?
Also, to root it would I just Odin to GB bootloaders or Honks kernel?
Thanks guys!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
It wont be preloaded with GB via factory
You will need to flash a leaked GB like kg4 so you can have the GB bootloaders then flash drhonks kernel and your set
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I'd ask for a screenshot for proof since these phones haven't even gotten official gb yet.
Yes you'd be able to root it with honk's kernel. You can also follow my gb starter pack guide to get good bootloaders etc.
Sent from my awesome SGS4G
Thanks guys. My only worry was that rooting and flashing would be different in case it is on 2.3.3.
But glad to know that I can still follow FB's guide to get to where I want it to be. I'm gonna let my beloved MT4G go for this so I hope I won't regret lol. Just wanted something different.
Appreciate the response once again!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I doubt it would be a problem, since Odin would take care of everything. However, if the guy said it came preloaded with 2.3.3, you should probably make sure he's not giving you something else.

to be honest, we thought we were going to get cm7 first because krylon and drhonk were working on it
the kernel was giving them A LOT of problems and slowed down development, im pretty sure they are still working on it however i havent seen any updates on their work in awhile
if not maybe some of us devs could start the cm project as well
Coming from the mt4g, I understand where you're coming from. You won't be disappointed, raver, dsexton, krylon, whitehawx, drhonk, and atoore, and anyone else I may have missed, are all very talented devs and make the phone worth the switch. So weather it be team acid, or team whiskey, you'll be happy.

[Q] What is the Best Rom for Infuse 4G?

I love the infused roms!!!! (Thanks GtG) I was just curious what else is out there... I did try Bionix Infinity and loved the visuals of it but to me it was more buggy than Infused. What do you guys recommend or do I have the best of the best currently.
Thanks for reading

I really liked the battery life in Serendipity VII.
Right now my Infuse has CM7 on it, which is experimental but usable as long as you're willing to accept its limitations, and has some nice features (such as flexible theming) not present in Samsung-derived ROMs. Which reminds me, I need to sync the repo and rebuild...
I really like DlevROM V5.0 , Its Fast!!!
It's my 3rd day on MIUI.. and i'm loving it.
I had Infused before this, and that was good too, but I like MIUI more. Specially the music controls.
I just wish one of these ROMs would have 4-digit pin without having to press OK.
Isn't gtg jumping ship though?

Its been a while since MIUI was "started"... I totally forgot about it. :-/ This sgs4g is my first android phone so I have never used it, neither CM... but im enjoying what we have so anything that comes next its extra.
Question is, do you guys want a good solid working miui or a hacked together hardly usable pos miui? Things take time, and a lot of the additions I've seen coming out lately are all stepping stones. Hassling our devs isn't going to speed anything up.

Valhalla is pretty close to what you can do with CM. The real different is the t-mobile theme engine built in, and a few more tweaks. The only true benefit of cyanogenmod would be official support, so we would always be upgraded to the next OS. I'm not sure how CM9 will look though- it will be impressive no doubt.
Truth be told I do not know how they decide who gets official support. It is nice because you almost always have the latest OS before anyone. Then again, people tend to get bored with almost everything, if we had CM, we would probably still be switching to different roms. For example, I switched to Blandroid on my Nexus One because I would tired of CM. I switched back again, but you get my point.

Ill take anything with data about now but Liquid and Twisted are my Rom's of choice when they come out.
twisted is my choice, he keeps it updated about everyday.
The good news is that it seems there is a rom with working data coming soon.
The 'bad' news is that it seems to be liquids rom.
Hopefully twisted can borrow it since his version works best for my phone.
if they sort the data out does that mean we hopefully will get ICS , miuiV4 and oakp(kang one protekk built) working possibly?
I hope twisted gdts it. I personally cant afford to buy(donate) just for the opprotunity to use a rom. With the wife out of work, supporting 2 kids, and the economy, every penny i already earn is accounted for. Things are very hard for us right now.

I used OMFGB for a long time. Recently though, I've changed to Thundershed and couldn't be happier. A lot of the same stuff, but with some newer enhancements and updates (OMFGB, for example, doesn't even have the locations fix built in as it hasn't been updated in...well, this year, maybe).
