Kind of missing 2.2 roms :( - Captivate General

Why are current 2.3.5 i9000 roms better then 2.2? I loved having serendipity 6.4 and Firefly 3.0 on my cappy. I cant remember if the battery life was better then the i9000 roms. Id use the current 2.3.5 leaked roms for the cappy but they do not support BLN and I need that.

Im on andromeda right now. I've flashed tons of gb roms but andromeda3 still seems to be the best all around for me. (Personal opinion of course )

To me, nothing compares to Pinnacle on this phone. Even CM and I'm a big fan of their work.

+1. Its my current daily driver as well. It just seems to be one of the last well supported 2.2 based Roms. It really is nice.

You guys should really try CyanogenMod 7, it's probably the smoothest experience for the Captivate yet.

I think I may have opened a can of worms. I did read about cm7 and see pros and cons. I have been looking at leedroid's Rom. Mudknot I would like to thank you for your guide very nice. Do you have any recommendation's?

As doo doo said and I have said in other threads, there is no "BEST" rom. They all are good in their own right, and all of them have their downfalls some more then others.
I have flashed all of them, and I like some more then others. Honestly its all personal preference.
Leedroid for stability and battery with all the features working. CM 7 for the stock feeling but has terrible drain TERRIBLE
I like the sense ones.
However I almost always return to a stock. The best to me are stock with all the bloat ripped out. There is no need to OC yet as the phone is plenty fast. Maybe in 4 or 5 months. /Shrug
I've been using RCmixHD for quite some time and I love it. They just realeased a new rom with SENSE 3.0 and it's beautiful. This latest rom is quite new and there are some improvements that I know will come with some time.
As everybody here will tell you, you will need to experiment and make your own decision on which is best for you.
Stock and Inpired Ace for me.
I am loving team phoenix's new rom. Takes the best of cm 7, + lord mods smartass kernel and makes a very smooth and battery efficient offering.

I'm liking Android Revolution right now, but I'm just getting into this whole thing of flashing and what not. I had CoreDroid before, but just found it a bit too complex/too many options for now.

[q] we need miui on our droid charge

I have tried several times to get MIUI to work with our phones and I give up .... we need some master devs here to give us the incredible switch to MIUI are there any out there?
First thing's first: This belongs in General.
Second: China doesn't have LTE, therefore no MIUI until they do.

Just kidding of course
Is anyone even working on CM7 for the Charge? It's been so long since I've tried it. Ever since I switched back to Verizon, I've bounced from phone to phone with no CM support along the way.
New MIUI looks pretty sweet, but I really prefer the app drawer.

CM7 was pretty sweet on my Fascinate... I believe its being worked on, or at least considered/started by a few devs (t3hhaxx0r crew maybe?) but its gonna be a looong way till operational

I havent read anything, but once we get an official GB someone will pick it up I am sure. I am told that the CM7 for the fassy is awesome so the Charge should be as well. I ditch my fassy just as the CM became official
I played with cm7 in my fascinate for a couple days and it was SICK, I hope we get it on the charge

it was in development for a long time on the Fascinate, hopefully it won't take as long on the Charge since it is essentially the same hardware with LTE radio and larger better screen and better camera

It will happen. Give it time. It took the fascinate 6 months. But it also didn't have froyo. It will be a much faster port since our phones are basically identical. Just be patient.

Does the LTE radio really make Miui almost impossible to port?

Impossible, no. Thunderbolt had a MIUI port that everything worked except the radio within a couple days of release. And it is still in the same state today.
They really need the chinese developers to help out, since it is not open source.
So to answer your question, MIUI is improbable till the Chinese devs are interested in adding LTE support.

It will not be "faster" to get it fully working. The hardest part for the Fascinate was getting all RIL functions to work. Now, not only do you have the RIL to worry about again, but you have two of them. Also, the hardware that is different doesn't have any drivers in the mainline Linux kernel, so any missing drivers need to be pulled in from Samsung's source. Unless someone hops on board with AOSP/CM porting experience, it's going to take a while.
Once we get CM7 with an AOSP kernel, then we will get MIUI shortly after (I am basing this information from what happened with the Fascinate) as some ports of MIUI are based off of CM7 ex. Fascinate and GSM Galaxy S phones.
think its being considered at rootzwiki.com
Will bump for miui nothing like heavily developed custom roms

AFAIK the Thunderbolt CM7 source is not released (If it was, please correct me)
And even so, I'm only talking about the MIUI that's based off of CM7 and not pure AOSP.
EDIT: The TBolt version isn't based off of anything but MIUI itself. The Fascinate version is based off of MIUI.us for the Vibrant, so I don't see why it should be any different with this phone, due to the nearly identical hardware.

Either way its a long ways off
But the hardware between the fascinate and charge is a much bigger difference than most realize...much bigger than any sgs phone is

Depends on taste......CM7 i think has better performance, but Miui is the must have anyone that loves to customize there phone. it lets you change everything piece by piece but it has no app drawer unless you use a launcher to get it back otherwise all your apps will just be on the front pages.
there both great, but cm7 still has my vote on sheer smoothness and tweaks. but again i loved "ee"'s themes for Miui so who knows

It is very "iPhonish" when you first use MIUI; throw a lancher on it, though, and it's back to business as usual. Very slick, very smooth, very customizable (if that's a word). Oh, and it's based on CM 7.1 sources. I've tried all sorts of ROMs on my Inspire, but I always end up going back to MIUI, it's just too damn nice. Getting a SR soon, and I'd love to see a MIUI build for it.

I agree with this. Almost every aspect of MIUI is iPhone ripped. Throwing a launcher over top of it kind defeats the purpose of MIUI (IMHO).
I have used MIUI and it had horrible battery life, right up there with CM7. Personally I would never use MIUI or CM7 ever again (on one of my phones).
That being said
I have MIUI on my daughters phone because she loves the iPhone and since I am giving her my Captivate for Christmas and she really wants an iPhone, I decided to put MIUI on it to ease the pain. LOL
agreed,
women seem to love miui though......hence why i am trying to put it on my old cappy to give to my GF.
but am having issues with the drivers.
i dont mind CM7, with the right kernel the battery drain is not that bad......but yes it can get annoying to have plug your up to the wall every couple hours as a preemptive strike on your phone dying.

No. ICS is Googles Android OS. CM9 is a modded version of it.

Just like cm7 is based off of android 2.3 (gingerbread) aosp.

I think his question is really what is the difference between the two. Which right now I don't think there is much. I think it's just about porting and getting everything working. Maybe there is some small optimizations done but nothing heavy. I think cyanogenmod is working on adding features as we speak and will most likely release a big beta with all of them implemented vs small amounts being added over time

So what's the problem bringing ICS to the Infuse? I have a Captivate, which I didn't think was really much different from the Infuse, and I have several ICS choices currently. My wife has the Infuse and she's getting jealous that I can have ICS and she can't!
The Captivate is a much more popular device. Even though it is much older is has a larger development community. Even Samsung bothered to keep that device up to date for a while. I know somebody who got the Captivate on 2.1. Since then she got OTA updates for 2.2 and then for 2.3. Unfortunately for us Infuse owners, we are like the red-headed step brother to the SG2 so we get no love
