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.

With my old Captivate I always had issues when trying to use i9000 ROMs (batch 1007). So I always stayed with Captivate based ROMs.

Yeah that was kind of what I was getting at with my explanation. Thanks for stating that because I personally have not had any issues, but I know people do with certain Rom's. That is why these which is best threads really are not good for knowing what is best on each phone.
Thanks for the replies! I will try it out tomorrow. Do you know if there is a custom kernal that is overclocked past 1.2?

Seitron has a kernel that people have run to 1.4 and I assume it is stable.
in my experience the stock rom is best if you want minimal bugs
not very glamorous or fast, however

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 do you do to fix the lag?

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.
on my 1007 batch captivate i find non oc'ed i9000 roms work the best

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!!

I do know that every phone is different and "best" is subjective however are the new crop of GB roms I've been reading up on in the dev section are any of them "better" than any other in the criteria I asked about 1 thing is I do remember 1 of the roms saying that geotagging on the camera was disabled if I did flash I want that feature badly thanks in advance for your opinions. One other question is should I just wait till the official leak is hacked ect.
Lul in b4 the lock.
Read each rom thread buddeh. Good luck
I recommend gr-12. Very stable atm. Also, MikeyMike does phenomenal work on his roms. Pays a lot of attention to detail.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I am using GR-12 as my daily driver. Haptic feedback works on the home key (doesn't with other GB ROMs yet) and the geotagging is optional in the camera. There has been an update every 2-3 days with the GR ROMs.
For me its been the best GB ROM. But its far from stable. Every time I make a phone call I have to reboot. GR-11 didn't do this, so I may have a bad flash. One thing that has been consistent with all the GB ROMs I have tried is random freezing, and randomly rebooting itself. I put up with it, because its not a big deal to me.
If you are looking for a fast, stable, every day use ROM keep with the FroYo ROMs. I personally recommend FireFly.
We still have not seen a stable official release of Gingerbread from Samsung. The I9000 ROM was pulled, I bet there were reasons for that. I would bet it won't be much longer than a month for the dev's to work out all the bugs with GB, but we're not there yet.
Sent from my Captivate running GR-12
Thanks for the info so far I am in fact running FF 3.0 and love it I think it might have a minor mem leak or I might need to re-flash but like clockwork every 3'ish days i have to reboot but thats not a big deal to me I have been doing the incremental upgrade from 2.6 all the way to 3.0 I may just wait till 3.1(WFW if you get the reference) and do a clean install so I am not new to flashing just don't want to do it daily.
Largely they are all the same rom themed differently. read the op and focus on optimizations. Outside of some tweaks and kernel choice perception of a difference is mainly placebo

I know, I know, this sounds like a typical newbie opinion question. But I'm not exactly looking for opinion here. I'm looking for FACTS pertaining to which ROM is going to give me the most optimized performance (un-altered benchmarks or whatever) while still giving me the most functionality(I.E. all aspects of device performing as well or better than stock). I got this device a little over a week ago, and really like it. I have been reading thread after thread and just want some help, so please don't think I'm just looking for a quick un-researched answer. I am looking for legitimate advice. I am currently running VOODOO kernal and oc'd to 1.2 ghz and getting benchmarks around 1650 ish? i believe. I do like TW, but dont swear by it. I tried MIUI, and i cant really stand it. CM doesn't want to flash right either, and i don't know which direction i want to go. I also feel this thread might help others in my position. Does PnP offer noticeable performance increases, aside from removed bloat? Thanks in advance for any advice provided!
Heintz 57 is the best, most stable and functional. Everything works. PnP is a very close second and everything works as well. I say try em all. I have and keep finding myself back on H57. It's really a matter of seeing which one best fits YOUR needs and style.

I prefer miui, hands down, and i've tried them all. Miui + glitches kernel, i can get over 3k quad scores. Not to mention, its super cusomizable--super easy to change themes (no need to flash). Not to mention, it's updated weekly by a great team of developers so it's constantly improving.

I am running the same MIUI and Glitch and it is impressive, smooth, very customizable ect. For pure performance I found JT's Vanilla GB V6 with either his new kernel V3 or Glitch Kernel to be the fastest performer. Any of the MTD based ROMs seem to perform better and I won't go back myself.

I honestly like the MIUI rom. Everything looks and works amazingly. Only one bug atm, no MMS while you are on Wifi. So.. all you do is just disable it and then get your MMS's, and then go back on. It works.

CM7 is my favorite. It's well thought out by the original developers, looks great, runs good, and will run 3x the benchmark your friends still on stock will! That being said, it's still under development, and will sometimes do some strange things. For example, I woke up one morning to find my screen was on with colors inverted. Had to pull the battery to unfreeze it.
So, for stable ROM, I like H57. It's not as new and sleek, but it's stable and works perfectly!

Can someone post links to the MIUI thread, and links to glitches kernel? I'm running pick-n-pack and ready to try something new. I want to make sure I grab the right files and get this going but I am having a hard time finding the right things. I just need someone that can confirm what the latest files are so i grab the right stuff. I guess I am looking for MIUI and Glitches Kernel. I should be able to figure out how to root, red recovery and use odin out as I've done all of those before.
Thanks.

I would stick with the bundled JT's kernel for the moment. Right now if you flash the latest MIUI then the Glitch kernel, you'll lose all sensors. It sounds like they should have the problem fixed soon, though.

Decisions...decisions. Help me out guys/gals!

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.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
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?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
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.

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

Hello all,
Wondering if you guys can help me decide whether to flash an ICS ROM or not?
I have my Skyrocket tweaked and set up perfectly. It contains...
Version: 2.3.5 (refuse to upgrade to 2.3.6 due to many issues I see some are having)
Kernel: 2.6.35.11+ (excellent "stock-ish" ROM from romracer)
Launcher: Go Launcher EX
Phone is rooted and like to use CWM.
With that said, I'm wondering what is the best option to try? My main concern is obviously performance and battery life. I have spectacular battery life right now and don't want to lose it by flashing an ICS ROM.
Perhaps something that will work with the romracer kernel? For example, something that would still allow me to use CWM and MUST also support boot animations and BLN support. That is a must for me, as I use it to tweak my battery life quite a bit.
Anyways,
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

If you do not have the heart for glitches, ICS may not serve you well. There is no real benefit that I can see unless you are a hardcore phone tweaker. I am always debating whether to just go back to stock GB myself !!!
BUT if you really have the itch, the safest is mhx's full bloat stock. I used that for a long time, and it is very - relatively- stable.

Battery Life & Stability
Thanks to the OP for this thread. I'm in a similar boat, but am just looking for the most stable custom ROM with the longest battery life. Coming from rooted Gingerbread, I've setup my ICS exactly the same (debloated and lean), and my time between charges was cut by 1/3 at least.
From my limited research, the CM9 Beta 1 ROM sounds to have excellent battery life and great stability. However, I'm open to suggestions! One question I have though, is I keep hearing folks talk about "nightlies". That that mean it requires nightly updating? Thanks in advance.
I've been using PTSD's AOKP ICS ROM and I love it. I've mixed that with InstigatorX's Kernel and my battery life is amazing. I'm an Android noob, but I'm digging this setup.

the word nightly means that it's scheduled to auto build a new version with any fixes made during the day... It wont auto update your Rom though you have to manually install it
It is a very easy process though. you download the new nightly and reboot to recovery: wipe system and wipe cache then install, wipe dalvik and fix permissions and reboot if you installed any mods like inverted apps or gps fix or dpi changes they need to also be addresses after the first boot
Because i don't like setting it up all the time i just install the new nightly weekly
CM9 Skyrocket
I actually *just* restored to Gingerbread today, after months of using Cyanogenmod 9's official and nightly releases, as well as the InstigatorX kernels.
My battery life was okay, but for all the extra bells and whistles, they seem to get the basics wrong, unfortunately :/ I still couldn't send texts larger than 160 characters without splitting them up, and they'd always arrive out of order, or not at all. Other apps wouldn't behave properly either, and my mobile network connection seemed to change/drop just from looking at it.
So CM9 looked promising, but still has a ways to go, and it's rated as one of the better ROMs for this phone. I didn't even want to try CM10, because their bug list is still bigger than CM9.
Can I ask where you got your romracer kernel? I'll have to give that a try. Also I'm looking to replace the current radio with something better.
I had to rebuild from scratch because somehow my gingerbread backup was corrupted. I used Bonestocketeer's ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357274 ) and the only issue I've had with it is I can't change the LTE/HSPA/GSM setting in Mobile Networks to just HSPA/GSM. I was able to with my original ROM, and that seemed to help battery life.
Thanks again for your post!

This comes as a surprise as I see you've been a member for a while. Assuming that other forums have similar rules to the SR forum.

With that said, I'm wondering what is the best option to try? My main concern is obviously performance and battery life. I have spectacular battery life right now and don't want to lose it by flashing an ICS ROM.

My recommendation would be NexusMod, then. It features the proprietary performance tweaks available in the TouchWiz ROMs, so it's faster than Cyanogenmod, but it has a lot of theming that makes it look and feel closer to AOSP. There are still some ugly elements of TouchWiz that exist, but it's a big improvement over a lot of the other TouchWiz-based ROMs.
For sure, CM9 has more features and tweaking options, and a more consistent AOSP look to it, but it's slower than NexusMod and still has some very minor bugs. It does, perhaps, offer you a few more options in how to save battery, though.
I have to say, though ICS is a massive improvement over GB and we have stable, mature ICS ROMs available. I would strongly advise upgrading, but if you're concerned about bugs, stick with a light TW-based rom like NexusMod.

Yeah I see he did the same in a post about a Motorola screen. As much as I don't like your attitude I will admit you report where it's appropriate

First off Questions belongs in Q&A. Second no one can really say use "x". Search, read and try. Locked
