hi guys, I'm Italian, I bought a samsung captivate in USA, and I want to modify it .... the problem is that there are lots of rom here on the site (I am familiar, in fact I have changed other smartphone), and read them in English, for me, is a little bit difficult ... you could advise me the best rom page, please? thanks
See the Captivate Development Forum for all Roms.
And This Guide by TRusselo for installation help.
For starters Cyanogenmod is best suited since it's very well supported if you stuck somewhere there will be many people to help you out . So go with CM9 and have fun with it.
Try Slim ICS or CyanogenMod9 from Captivate Development Forum.

There are ICS Roms for the Captivate. But flashing does come with some risk...see This Thread and This Thread also .
As far as what is best or...whatever, u will just have to do some reading on ur own in the Development Forum on the several available ICS Roms there and decide what best suits you and what u want on your phone.

Try aokp mod. That looks cool. I recommend a light weight rom because it has 1ghz processor.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
There are many rom for Captivate. However, I think Slim and AOKP is the best for our Cappy
slimroms.com/
aokp.co
Try MIUI: http://roms.miui.us/
It is based on CM9. Super stable, lots of eye candy.
Straight from the horse's mouth
Nostalgia ROM beats them all.

The best ROM is the one that works best for you. Try a few out and make your own decision.

Guy this question has been asked a thousand times with a thousand different answers. There is no top or stable ROM, they are ALL GREAT. Only what you feel best using and your needs of it. Try a few on for size and see what works for you and feels best for you. Coredroid for a stock look or absolution 3.7 for a no sense. But then these are my favorites but watch how many more responses you get till you get closed.

Look, I use my phone as a work phone (so I need an amount of stability), and I find aospx AR28 stable enough for a daily (that said, AR26 saw fewer freezes and reboots, food for though).
However, if you need camcorder, aospx (any ICS?) isn't for you.

Well lets start with congrats man on getting an Inspire. The Inspire community is awesome and there is a constant flow of great work being done by the amazing devs here. First, please search. I don't mean to come off as a jerk but it is part of the rules you agreed to when you signed up and literally if you searched "best rom" or "stable rom" you would most likely see what we have all been telling you and that is: There is no best stable ROM. Every ROM has its issues. What one person swears by another person won't. Only you know what you're willing to live with and live without. Try some ROMs out and see what works best. Here are my recommendations but they are by no means an all inclusive list of "best ROMs", just my personal preference.
Sense 3.5 = Bindroid
Basically stock = Cleardroid
AOSP/CM = Absolution
ICS = Redemption or Melchizedek
if i could stay on one rom long enough to find out if it's stable or not would be a great thing. stupid ROM A.D.D.

Don't forget cyanogen7.2 (newest release) for a wide variaty of customization.
Like others said before there are tons of roms in the developer section of the xda/inspire4g.
Welcome to the freedom of android. The best thing about rooting is the personalization. You can find just about any theme, os, app, or widget you can imagine.
Start with the ace hack kit, read the effin manual (that's what its called) do some reading on the available roms, download from the site or open up rom manager (if available) flash from rom manager.
Which ever rom you choose remember read the first post on the dev thread back and forth up and down. Once you do that...... read it again. All the important info you need for that rom is in the first post.
If you have questions on terms or what something is. Just Google said something followed by xda htc inspire 4g and you should find exactly what your looking for.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.

I have to agree it is nice to see for once.
Sorry guys been under the weather for a few days. Still trying to kick it.
As stated none can tell you what rom will work best or be the most stable on your device and your set up. Even stock roms have bugs. It is just something you live with or dig in and try to fix when you own a smart phone.
Just pay attention to the OP of each thread and so the proper research and you will be fine.

For a noob(i mean this is the best way) cm9 may be a bit much, I'd say either embryo or nexus mod. Or, if you feeling crazy, sky.

RE: Best ROM
True enough, they are all great! but for a noob who flashed all the roms the least buggiest so far is SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 for me anyways.
Again there are different flavors to choose from and it also depends on what you use on your phone. Some bugs may show up days later.

All these guys are right cause there really is no right or wrong answer to your question. When it comes to custom roms its all about personal preference. What someone else really loves you may find out you don't like. So my advice is become a flashaholic like most of us here are and start flashing until you find that perfect custom rom that fits your needs and wants. Just remember to make a backup of your current rom before you start flashing anything that way you can always go back to what you have now. Oh and just so you will know design gears is about to release a new ics leak for the skyrocket soon according to his twitter account so you may want to wait and see what that is all about and the I'm sure plenty of custom roms will be based off of it soon as well... happy flashing...

It would probably be better to be more specific. A better question would be "which are roms are the most stable" or "which roms are the fastest" or maybe "Which rom has the most features?"
I personally am also trying to decide which rom to go with. I have a friend who owns a Skyrocket and he wants me to root the phone then flash a custom rom, so I'm looking into this. I think I'll probably flash Nexus Mod just because it looks like AOSP. Like many others, it has carrier IQ disabled and has been debloated.

+1 to what everyone else said.
I'm amazed that non of the usuals got on here to flame and say "read one of the other hundred threads like this" or "newb dont post questions in the general section" guess you guys are slipping.
AOKP, the best of the best.
Sent from my I727
+1 to sky ics for stability (iv flashed the aosp apps patch) it was giving me fc's on other roms but none on this one
nexusmod ics was good but the rom seems to start facing issues after a week of use (might be user error but others were also experiencing this) and also the rom has no further development as MOD has been bricked and has also moved to cm9.
AOKP - great rom that has just surfaced with some solid devs at work still has a few minor issues but this one will become a gem
cm9 - same as above, great dev support but it still has a few minor kinks to be worked out
The above post is right especially about cm and aokp
CM9 Skyrocket
The newish Slim ICS ROM is pretty good too. Gives you some AOSP apps and seems pretty stable and super snappy for me so far. But as others have said, just look at some of the ones with higher traffic and more recent posts and see what you like. Embryo is a nice one i you want a more stock exoerience. Dev is super responsive too. With the new leak and impending (hopefully) official release, they'll all be rebased anyway. TiBu Pro and nandroid are your friends.

I have a very easy question for experts. I asking for the good from for my Exhibit II? I'm looking for "no battery drain","no game lag" and especially "everything works"??
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Here is a list of a few different ROMs to try out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G
Scroll to the bottom of the page and there's a list of custom ROMs. I've personally used RebelROM and consider that to be one of the best. It is fast, light and battery efficient. RebelROM is only gingerbread though. If you want a taste of ICS, then Jocala is working on a CM9 port to the exhibit ii.
Unfortunately though, this great phone does not have a large developer base. There is not really a wide range to choose from, but make do with the ones that are available.
Have fun and good luck.
Thanks! I'm trying CM9 right now and I will really use RebelRom. I don't like CM9 because of Battery Drain! I really appreciate your post.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
No problem. The latest builds of RebelROM seems amazing. I've only used up to version 2.1 when I had the exhibit and it was incredible. Great ICS launcher and fast and speedy. Kinda feeling a bit nostalgic now....
Anyways, if it was that good back then, it must REALLY be awesome now!
It's a such a great phone, but had so little development back when I had it. I literally had to use stock ROM for a few months. Now it's good to see that there's more development for it.
So you're cm9

Such a broad question dude it truly depends on what your phone likes best a well as you. As some may prefer this ROM others may prefer another ROM.
Also depends on ROM,Kernel combo as well try em all and see what's best to your desires.

this. there's no way to answer this question. each phone/user are different. there are far too many options for rom/kernel combinations, not to mention all the variable settings to say which is best.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Like has been said, there are many options. Probably the most popular is cyanogenmod, but I've been hooked on Paranoid Android for awhile (which is based on CM). My advice for a beginner is to spend time in the forums and narrow it down to the popular ones. Subscribe to a few and get into the discussions so you get to know the lingo and issues people are having with the ROMs. Try several out to get a feel of what they have to offer and the features you find you enjoy having.
Once you are familiar with the features you prefer, you can narrow down your perfect fit by reading the OP of a ROM (for what it offers) and a few of the posts from the latest update date (for stability and what to expect). I'd suggest only after this stage that you get into trying different kernels with your ROM. The kernel is like changing engines in your car...YMMV, and some will perform better than others on your specific device and ROM.
Hope this helps!

I have gone almost through every ROM from ICS to jb on my rocket.
I am no expert in testing but I can say I love the UI on the jb paranoid as well the hibrid touch wizz ROMs.
The sky ICS and the hybrid wizz gave me the best battery life.
Feature wise there are some very appealing the xperiance, job paranoid, the cm9 and cm 10.
The smoothest ROMs we have Majick wzz, vincon jb super lite.
Remember this is only my opinion that I want to share with the forum.
Feel free to submit yours that will help a lot newbob in their search for ROMs.
