All of the complaining aside. If you arent part of solution... *ahem*
In due time Development will begin and we will have lots of fun.
Until then, if you aren't satisfied with su, chainfīre, app freeze, etc - just suggestion - return the phone.
No one holding a gun forcing you to keep. (at least I don't think lol)
Peace

Option 2: Keep the awesome phone and stop being an anal retentive crybaby?
No phone/carrier/OS/etc is perfect. You WILL run into issues and complaints no matter what carrier or phone you go to. Fact of life.
Nice to see you here crawl. Nothin but good things to come

+1 ... I am really liking my skyrocket
Agreed. It's taken a few days to adjust to the screen size, but I am really enjoying it. I wanted to get the OG SGS2, but I'm on a bussiness plan and can't get it through Best buy, so I was stuck with it. Overall I'm pleased with it so far.
I too am in love with the phone and the switch from the SGIIS. I look forward to some custom ROM's. Speed is great, screen is simply amazing.
We just need our own forum...

I have started porting and tweaking a few ROMs from T-MOBILE & AT&T SGS2. Once I have them working smoothly, I will get in contact with the respective devs of the ROMs and see if its okay to release to you guys

I had read that on some website reviews, and read conflicting info on others. I suppose I was looking for real world experience since I haven't found definite info from Corning or Tmobile.

I read somewhere someone called samsung and confirmed, I've also held it along side a droid x, an incredible, and an evo 3D and the glass feels the same.
I rocked it without a screen protector for awhile with keys in my pocket and never got those tiny scratches other phones get. I use a protector now because i can still be scratched by a grain of sand, (sand= unfinished glass)
It came in today. The hinge for the screen seem quite sturdy.
Next question:
As a geek I have never really considered what a first time smartphone user would want by way of apps. I have on my short list:
1 lookout
2 rhapsody (I have an acct.)
3 zedge
4 hotmail
5 juice defender
Any other suggestions? (not games, she doesn't want the distraction)

Got to get her a bigger memory card before I do too much music.
This does have an fm radio right?
Sent from my CM7.1 DARKSIDE glacier with the xda app.
no fm radio but u can use iheartradio to support raido stations and btw the music can be streamed (uses data ALOt) and it cna be toggled to download only via wifi and or select only certain songs out of your album
I would skip on the juice defender apps, they take up more resources than they save. Get the amazon marketplace cuz there's a free paid app every day, if you got cable there are apps to turn your phone into a remote (comcast or direct tv) definitely get an alternative browser like opera mini or firefox and set it as main. Qik video chat, pandora, that's all I can think of off the top of my head
Were can I get the apk for that market place

hey go to my youtube channel ihave a one click root + CWM way go to youtube and type BD1692
I'm currently on qkster's stock rooted rom (which is awesome, by the way), but I'd like to try something a littler more fun.
Here's my concern - I'd like it to be relatively light RAM-wise. I get a ton of slowdown (even when using Advanced Task Killer) and am curious if any of the current roms have a lighter memory footprint.
I also need bluetooth and GPS.
So, anyone who's flashed 'em all (or even a few) have a recommendation?
Thanks in advance!!!!

I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only light roms are Vagabond, AEON, and [Dev]a station. All of which are excellent choices. I believe AEON might be the lightest due to Bigfau's choice of apps and such.

I've tried a bit of searching and while there are a few threads about how to disable phone features, there is no discussion of anyone making a specific ROM that would that would focus the Captivate (or any Galaxy S I suppose) into a Media Player device. No idea how hard that would be and whether it would be as easy as taking an existing ROM and just rearranging and deleting the phone stuff.
Seems that with ICS being designed to work as both a Tablet and Phone OS, you could accomplish this with relative ease. I'm not a coder or ROM developer though, so I could be completely wrong on that too.
At the very least, the battery life would almost certainly increase if the phone never even tried to use the antenna or look for cell service. Seems like it might run smoother too and processing emphasis could be rearranged.
Any thoughts?
Here ya go... Captivate Touch

Has anyone ran any of the new overclocked Sebastian kernels.If you have how where they are they more for performance or battery saving and did you use then on a sense or senseless rom.any input,feedback on these o.c. Sebastian kernels would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Use the god dam Sebastian Thread for asking questions about his kernel, it's what its there for, or even just read and you will get your answer.
It's time to do a Stats check to see if you are spamming with pointless threads...
Hi, It's really best to try these kernels out for your self and see what performance or battery life you get out of them. Every user is different with lots of different variables like different roms, over or under clocking, heavy users, light users, different mods and tweaks, even different batteries ! So what is working for some may not be what's best for you. Therefore It's always best because of the many variables some I mentioned above, to try things out on your own. You will get a much better answer that way instead of asking others about their experience. Just like with roms, what works for one might not work for another. We are all individuals with our own likes and dislikes and different tastes so please remember It's always best to form your own opinion on these kinds of things. I truly hope this helps, also the fun part is discovering new things for yourself. So in the future just give things a try and form your own opinions. I wish you the best! Just trying to help you out .

Hi, the Sebastion Kernal runs really hot on my phone, or that's just me. But damn, it's super fast.

Depending on what you are doing, the phone can get very hot. Its due to a bad motherboard design with no means of heat dispersion. 3 dimensional games and browsing flash heavy websites will make it warm. Some intense games like RealRacing2 can heat it up so much it will burn your thumb on the screen.
Download System Tuner by 3c and go to the CPU section. There will be a graph and a figure of the CPUs temperature. This is handy if you have an aftermarket battery that doesn't have a temperature sensor like Anker. Anything up to 62'c is safe but if it stays there long the screen will heat up and burn your thumb tip if you hold them near the bottom due to playing a game.
Hope I helped!
Thanks man. I do have an aftermarket battery.
