Hey guys, just an inquiry..
Going back through the rom list for the Samsung Captivate, I'm finding more and more that the roms I used back in the day "Cognition, Perception, Darky's, Doc's Rom" etc were all... of a better quality than those that are produced now. (Nearly two years later).
I find most of what's done now a cut-and-paste, or a bunch of random sh!t thrown together with a pretty bow, until two days later you've got framework fc's out the ying-yang.
I'm running Miui Scotland's rom right now.. but I really want to go back to Froyo. For a few reasons... too many to mention.
My question is, does anyone have the latest version of the Perception rom, and a link to it? Or any of the other oldies but goodies?
Only old rom I can find is SensatioN by Icezar... that's it.
Thanks for anyone who can help

I'm still running Serendipity 6.4 (Froyo). On any of the GB roms i tried the NHL GameCenter app would have choppy video but with Froyo its always smooth. With the JL2 modem set to 850mhz only i get between 4.5 - 6.0 down and 1 up
I had a spare Captivate that I would try different roms on but my son is using it on Straight Talk.
I miss running Serendipity. Ran it from version 1 to 7. MikeyMike01 should get back into development and compile an ICS ROM.

The only reasons i stayed with froyo was the video in the NHL gamecenter app would be choppy with a GB rom (tried many) but smooth with froyo. Also the data speed was alot faster than GB.
Pinnacle of GB ROM IMO.

Agreed. Serendipity was my first ROM to flash and no other GB ROM compares in my opinion. Everything was so smooth on 7, and the kitchen was a nice touch as well.

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.

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!!

Thanks guys
I have Samsung's stock clock (with the Smart Alarm) in my app list right next to the AOSP clock. Both work fine as completely independent apps.
Download and flash it for 6.3 from the Serendipity add-ons.
Yes its a great rom
So i am currently running eagles blood and love it, super smooth, love the black. Havnt found any other glitches yet. Props to creator. What are some other good roms our there
Before the g2x I had a vibrant and ONLY ran Team Whiskey built ROM's because they were always the quickest and most reliable. When I first got my g2x I saw krylon running around the g2x forums and was very excited to see what he will do. My wife is STILL running Bionix on my old vibrant and I am also running Bionix on the g2x. Battery is a lot better, black theme is very nice, phone is super snappy, and I have NO problems with Bionix.
I have tried pretty much all the gb rom's out there and fauxs aosp 1.1.5 gb rom has been the most stable and smooth build I've used... with his custom kernel the thing is buttery smooth and fast with an oc of 1.5ghz if you want it super fast ... plus its a nice stock gb build with no extra stuff which I prefer ...
right now I'm running Bionix.
It's hard to say anything about one being better/worse than another right now, since they're all still in beta form. Let's get some final releases out, or at least an official gingerbread leak to compare against, before judging anything too harshly. And I'm not trying to say they should rush...just that we should expect some glitches
Here is my opinion.
None is better then the other for the fact that they are all built off the same source. If you look at the change logs for all roms right now it is mostly visual things changed with few backend things. (minus cm7 as they built their own)
Anyways give the devs more time to get more actual development done then compare them.
Stock Rom because it's more stable than any of the custom roms at this point. Every thread I've been reading people are having a lot of issues that's why I haven't flashed yet. Waiting for stable build from official source

Not quite true.
stock has almost all the issues and more then most the modded roms.
The reason you see more people complain about the issues on the modded roms is cause ALOT more people are using them over stock as it is junk.
EB1.04 Froyo. Used with included kernel and just a couple of tweaks here and there. Better than stock, LG camera, no GB issues. I get great battery life and speed with it. I'm not looking for a Quadrant record holder...just something that does what I want it to do when asked.
Now for the moderator in me:
These types of threads have the potential to invite flame wars. Keep this thread civil and helpful so it remains open. Thank your for your cooperation.
I've tried a lot of roms but settled with EB 1.0.4 because it feels like a stock rom but without the resets I kept having the with leaked version. The GB keyboard lags some but its nothing.
CM7 is really coming around but I'm going to hold off until they fix the APN settings. I've used CM since the first nightly and started looking elsewhere after #21. I'm looking to just relax with a working rom ATM.
As far as the various roms, they aren't all based on the same source. CM uses a CM base and their own kernel, EB uses the GB leak, and a few others are from AOSP directly from Google. Lots of variation. I agree that we should wait till we get some final builds until we compare but I think this thread is good for people to know because I've been using CM since it came out and when it came time to find something more stable I couldn't find which ones worked or which ones had which bugs.

I'm a Team Whiskey fan coming from the Vibrant so Bionix is my first choice, But Eagle's Blood 1.0.4 FR is also really good and in fact I'm running right now because it's still 2.2 so it has stock camera which is great!
Once Krylon gets the camera working on 2.3 I will go back to Bionix!
Haven't tried any others because of the APN issues!

No issues on Bionix.
I've played with all roms.
Latest was Bionix. It suffered some miserable battery drain with this rom. I gave it a few days play, with plenty of idle and game time. I'll say it is very snappy, however I couldn't accept going from 100-under 50 overnight idle while I slept.
Great rom and I will try again.
I'm gonna try EagleBlood 1.04 here in a few minutes, as it's gotten some decent mentions throughout the forums.
oh and btw, faux's aosp 1.1.5 got rid of any lag on the keyboard which i think no other rom has been able to fix on a gb rom

yea man i gotta say def eb 1.04 froyo is what is best rite now ive tried all of them and dont get me wrong bionix is the **** and faux did get rid of the keyboard lag and thats a big thing with these tgingerbread roms for some reason but yes all great roms but eb froyo 1.04 is sick got this extra keyboard by lg which i love and the stock cam also butter smooth but when running a oc kernel im having problems with my phone being on charger and it dying and not turning back on n having to do a battery pull so im just keeping it stock and love it still very fast!
The best ROM for me has been EB Froyo 1.04 and Morfic kernel is running great.
I have flashed nightlies, bionix, GB leak, and eb 1.02 and 1.04.
EB Froyo seems to be the most stable and just works for me.

I'm using the stock kernel. I tried the first morfic kernel for the build, and it was very unstable for me. Planning on giving the +48mb version a shot in the future, but stock works so well for me (speed+battery life), it'll be hard to justify a switch.
What ROM should I get to increase the phones overall performance and responsiveness? I just want something that is very stable and something that will improve my phone in a good way.
Every single rom is gonna be a million times better than stock eclair...for your first time I would stick with a froyo rom as those are easier to flash. Just pick one
oh man.. where to start. Honestly it varies so much from user to user. Your best bet is to hop on some of the threads and read some of the comments.. first few pages and the last few.. try to get an idea of how well the ROM is working for users and battery life. There are a plethora of 2.2.1 ROMs with excellent battery life. The gingerbread ROMs are coming around to having decent to good battery life. But again, it all varies from user to user.
Good 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROMs
Serendipity, Paragon, Phoenix, Ultimate and theres more of coarse, these were among my top choices.
A lot of the gingerbread ROMs can be found in the first page of development.
But please use the search function. There has been multiple threads started with the same question.. about the same topic.
Once you go serendepity, you can't go back. but seriously I tried a lot of roms and serendipity is BY FAR the best!

I tried serendipity and its a great rom but I like a side scrolling app drawer as opposed to the cube effect. I use apex 5.3 (froyo 2.2.1) not to be confused with apex 6.x( gingerbread) because its simply works. The five dock bottom is great and battery life is amazing. And the jk4 modem actually gets me much better reception than the stock kb1. but if you like the stock feel cognition is the way to go

If you'd like to use your original TouchWiz side-scrolling app drawer, give Cognition a try instead. Cognition is best-known as the 2.2 ROM that tries to stay as close as possible to the original, with a ton of under-the-hood features and fixes (like lagfix), minus the bloatware.
(I can't stand TouchWiz, but still love Cog's stability, so I use Launcher Pro (with its vertical app drawer) instead)
cognition rom is my favorite rom when it comes to stability. and its smooth as ever now.
I think I will stick to serendipity. Now I am trying to figure out what modems do and if I need one to be able to use a kernel? I was looking at Onix Kernel and it says "Since based on i9000 sources, use an i9000 modem". I am not sure what a modem is first of all.

technically, as long as everything works for you as of right now - you're done. You can sit back and enjoy the rom. If you feel ambitious, you can try a different kernel. I dont know what serendipity uses but I found the Onix kernel to be one of the smoothest froyo kernel, available. Thats, of course, my opinion though.

That's what's packaged in the rom. You don't NEED that modem specifically or need to change ... Unless you're cell signal sucks then check out the modem sticky at the top of the dev section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391 You do need an I9000 modem because the kernel in serendipity is based off I9000 sources.
What you NEED to do is stop right now. Enjoy your phone and READ everything you can. Once you feel comfortable with flashing and knowing how to get yourself out of bad situations, flash away. No one can tell you which rom is best for you. You're more than welcome to narrow your choice to a few, then try them out or try them all. The key is knowing how to do it and the things that can happen.

That was what I used before I decided to move on to Eaglesblood and give up my streaming music but EB is definitly the best ROM for me. For you it sounds like XB is the way to go. The only thing is you wont find any updsates or real support for it. Apparently Xboarder had a problem with some people in this fourm or maybee it was the other way around they had a problem with him but either way he is no longer developing for the g2x last I heard I think he is now working on the sensation but the rom does not need anything it is 100% functional in my opinion it is as good as it gets for a stock ROM with no real add ons just root and no crap on it. Let me know how you like it.
but isnt always certain that adding any kernel to that stock rom by xboarder will break video or is that issue related to other phones?

What ROM and Kernel are you running? Obviously xboards ROM, what kernel?
Weapon 2.5 caused my phone to shut down twice, I did do a clean install.
I am going to stay with it though!
G2X or Not???
I have been debating getting the G2X. I am a bit bored and currently using a Vibrant on Bionix 1.3.1. The Vibrant works great with the new ROM, but I wanted the front and rear facing cameras, a flash for the camera, and the dual core would not hurt
Is it worth getting or should I just wait for the Galaxy S II? The G2X looks like a great device, but is there a lot of development for it (ROMS, etc)?
Problem with waiting for the Galaxy S II is the high price when it first comes out, so it would be a while before prices come down.

There is alot of support for ROMs for the g2x, I got mine 2 weeks ago and its has been my favorite phone so far.

Id have to say this has been my favorite android phone so far....I like the ability to flash...it would be nice to have a few more devs working on things but I love cm7 and don't plan on switching so development is fine. Although when I was on my captivate hardcores speedmod kernels always rocked

I'd your flash happy you will not be happy with this phone. Especially coming from a vibrant, there is barely anything happening here.

So far Eaglesblood 1.08 is by far the best rom it has the best battery use and it is the most stable it never crashed on me once I loved it 1.07 seemed good too but I just liked 1.08 better. weapon crashed on me 4 times in 3 hours so I did not even give it a full day to test. I usually give a ROM a week to see what it can do unless there is a problem from the begining. I am currently testing MIUI so far it looks like an I-phone piece of **** and but I kinda like it. I was able to put launcher pro on but as I am writing this post it is force closing everything it just started I guess it doesnt want a good reveiw LOL. Well Now it wont stop even after a hard boot and a complete powerdown and a permissions fix so thats it for MIUI it is not getting a week HMMM what next? Anyone? For now I am going back to goog old EB or maybee XB stock tweeked until I can figure out which one is next I like xb for 2.3.3 stock and the LG camera is just about done they have ver 3.0 out and they fixed alot of stuff I tried it out yesterday and it is really good props to those guys. Well if anyone thinks they know whice one I should try next let me know.
To the guy who was thinking of getting this phone I would it is a great phone the most user friendly device I have ever had and also the easiest thing to hack ever. If you like to hack phones or if you just like a good fast phone then this is for you. Good luck.

Haha well it is the official OTA (2.3.3) taken and tweaked for speed and performance and slimmed down and pre rooted, so everything works like it should and it's faster than ever especially when overclocked with faux123's kernel.

Question still stands, are you running Xboards build 1.2.2 of GB 2.3.3 with fauxes kernel 0.1.3 OC or SV?
