The first thing I did (still in the store) was install Launcher Pro. Hoping they put a better skin on the officialVerizon Gingerbread release, or I'm sticking to Launcher Pro. I'd rather not since the phone seems to have very little available memory out of the 512MB RAM, which seems odd to me...
I'm fairly new to the custom ROMs and I apologize for the newbie question. What makes CM7 the ROM to have?

It's the purest form of android, free from any carrier/oem crap (except for necessary google apps like market obviously)... this also makes it a stable, fast, and 'lightweight' rom which means less system usage for the rom, custom kernels specifically for your phone, and more options and speed/audio/video/theme tweaks than you can shake a stick at lol
also once its finished and more or less all the bugs are worked out, devs can submit it to CyanogenMod to merge it in the mainline CM 'tree' so the coding bots can get to work cranking out nightlies (nightly rom updates)

The purest forum of Android is Vanilla AOSP. CM7 is desirable as it has a lot of unique customizations that improve usability and functionality, without adding a bunch of useless crap (though there are still features people won't use).

CM7 is essentially AOSP with some additional features and UI enhancements and whatnot, but at it's core it's AOSP from what i know. same with OMFG/OMFGB.
any of those will run much much faster than any Touchwiz based RFS kernel/rom no matter how many superchargers and lagfixes you put on it

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 may be boring for some but I need my phone to work and so far it gives me the best balance of features and reliability.

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 am running the early release of GummyCHARGED 1.8 and it is absolutely beautiful. All of the bugs are fixed and it is speedier than ever. More aspects are themed...gallery is the fastest I've ever used...hell even the lock screen is faster than anything I have used.
I wiped data/cache when installing and it is absolutely perfect. Be happy when you are able to get your hands on it!

I know how u feel, its as if theres no such thing as development for the charge, specially GB. Its as if the charge doesnt exist. Development could be better.
However I do believe the reason why there isnt much dev for GB is because people arent happy with the leaks or just want to wait for the official release. But there is lagfix for GB my guide is in the dev section. How to simply ext4 gb.

Comparable to cyanogen, I love cyanogen but omfgb and omgb are awesome roms, to me omfgb is a little faster than cyan, both are pure aosp. You pretty much have to try both to see which one you like.

Another thing, 4g is new to these phones, especially 4g lte, I wouldnt say rom development has stopped, more like slowed because of this. They have to work with all the samsung and tw things, combined with 4g, you have to give them extra time. When we get aosp, trust me, development will boom

Just need some more patience, I figure every device needs about 8 months in the wild before they get near pure ASOP Goodness, even without samsung's mess of code to work with. I remember when I first started my flashing addiction, back with the htc hero.
Htc was so evil with their source to, we had devs actually make their own ril's that surprisingly worked before we had a source that would actually compile.
Has anyone heard anything about Liberty coming to our phones or whatever happened with Darkcharge? I know team gummy joined up with the liberty guys to bring liberty to our phones but haven't heard anything else about it. I can only assume that Darkcharge is no longer continuing development for us since it seemed to get bashed (for a lack of better words) upon release.

imnuts is working hard on Infinity, but he's somewhat of a perfectionist *and* he's having to redo his work on EP4, so it's slow to release. If you hang out in IRC, he apparently posts links to the latest beta build occasionally, though he forbids those builds from being distributed any father.

That's the biggest peeve I have with phones today. A new phone drops, gets worlds of praise for 3 weeks (figuratively of course...or not?) And then something new gets released. It almost seems like the term "flagship" doesn't apply to smartphones.

I have the utmost respect for the developers. I understand that this isn't a popular phone, so any new rom is a blessing.
I had a feeling those guys would be more willing to come back once a finalized version of GB was released. It had to be frustrating when we were getting leaks every couple of weeks or so to try to stay current.
I welcome any new ROMs, but I heard talks that Kejar was going to work with the CM team to port CM7.. What happened to that =[ ?
I'm mainly interested in the fact that Wiimote apps work on CM7

Thanks. I haven't followed what's been going on with Liberty and am still using Gummy FE. I think my phone runs great and I really like Voodoo Sound while playing Pandora in the car. I don't want to upgrade to GB until IMoseyOn has a nicely developed GB kernel, based on source. After that, the ROMs will fall in line. That's my thought at least.
Since I'm happy with Gummy FE, I assume that Liberty will be my go-to ROM. Having said that, I have no experience with Humble or Infinity, but I've heard good things about both. In the end, I use DroidBlaze's MinimalGummy theme and really like it. I'll probably wind up on Liberty since he's only been creating themes for Gummy and hasn't themed for Humble or Infinity (to my knowledge).
