I've spent the last month using the various ICS. Today, I finally flashed back to barebone GB. Yeah, I miss some of the features, but I like having long lasting battery and stability a lot more. I am now using barebone + blastoff v2 kernel.
I agree with you on the battery issue but not on stability. for me MIUI has been super stable.

Went back about a month ago. They keep saying the GPS works but I am having no luck with it. GB works fine though... Battery life is definitely a plus.

I agree with you about the gps. The first time I mentioned it, people came down on me with a vengeance. So, I stopped mentioning it. Sure, my gps with ICS worked... after like 15 minutes. I tried all the roms, and they all took that long to lock. With GB, it takes like 10 seconds.
I'm sure this post alone will bring more people to come down on me with a vengeance regarding the gps.

I went back to ICS once, needed my JB back. No seriously I haven't used my SGS4G as a daily phone on ICS, but for gameplay or as a music player battery life has been about the same as GB or even froyo. And stability has been fine also, no reboots or freezes.

Just to be sure I didn't jump the gun, I backed out brought up GPS and bam in less than five seconds GPS fully loaded. Battery life is great, stability is wonderful, and all on ICS. Of course I long press the back button to kill all non essential apps too save battery and ram. Also while using titanium backup, I double check to ensure I'm not restoring any system apps and data from previous roms, because that can bring on irritating problems.
Tricked out Galaxy S 4G. Think before you speak, and for Christ sakes, read before you write!

But I'm getting bored on Ice Cream Sandwich, it's great and all but don't you sometimes miss the older android versions, I sure do miss Froyo even though it had horrible bloatware *ahem* DoubleTwist *ahem*, Gingerbread was great too but I was expecting the Gingerbread launcher not some crappy TouchWiz.

I was hoping to get your guys opinion on this. Should I wait at least until mid October for gingerbread, or should I say forget it and install a custom Rom now? In otherwords, do you think gingerbread will really be here soon?

We kinda think its close. But why not try a custom rom. The flash time and return to stock time is les than 15 minutes. Now if you are trying not to void your warranty,I guess I can dig that.

Well the custom roms offer some things stock doesnt yet its up to you and your needs.
Anyways now with the video recording fix using a GB rom its a nice choice. I was "stuck" on Froyo since the fps thingy on Gb roms but now that its fixed ive been runnin Infused 2.2.3 and its smooth.
There are some more rom options so you could browse and take your choice.

If you're willing to give up HDMI output and live with a few minor bugs, you can have Gingerbread now.
Also data speeds are still not fixed in GB, although one fix I tried seems to have had far better results than I expected so there is promise there. I'm asking for some confirmation of that, as I live in an area with always-crappy speeds so I can't really test it.

Yea I was going to wait, but I could not stand it anymore. I am on 2.2.2 with Entropy's kernel. The data speeds seem mostly restored, even though i used to get almost another mb usually. If you do go to Gingerbread now, I will say the perfect pair is Infused 2.2.3 (or 2.2.2) with Infusion 1.0 (overclock kernel) for heavy games users. For daily needs and internet speed, I would say again Infused 2.2.3 (or 2.2.2) with Entropy's kernel. I have not tried Serendipity, but I have heard almost nothing bad about that too.
I installed S7 a few weeks ago, expecting to only stay on it a few days as I tried a few other ROMs. I still want to fix the Hellraiser "stuck battery notifications" issue.
I've been very happy with S7 - At some point I'll be returning to CM7, but I've been so busy that I haven't had time to mess with reflashing another ROM.

Regardless of your partiality, you are still correct. To back up this statement, I point to the current battery life on my infuse. I am sitting at 11% after 3 days, 50 minutes with a screen on time of 2 hours over those 3 days. One hour of voice calls and HEAVY text usage.

Is ZEUS the most stable as well?
Stability is the #1 factor for me. That and lack of amateur theming. Can't stand it when authors choose to put in weird looking fonts and other stuff. I watched the video that showed off zeus rom though and that is definitely not the case. EXTREMELY pretty.

I would stick with what you have for a short while longer.
UCLA 2.3.6 update just hit, so lots of ROM's will go through wipe-only updates and new ROM's will be released.
SkyICS is the flashiest, coolest ROM IMO that still manages to be stable and quick.
RedSonja is a bit more blah (aside from cartoons) with the theme and tricks/gimmicks/addons, but looks like it was just rebuilt for UCLA 2.3.6 update. So if you have to flash something, that is the one I'd try right now.
I'm digging NexusM0D 3.0 after trying a couple of different ICS-Themed ROM's.

I'd give Skycoke a try. To be honest SkyICS and Coke are the only two I've used but I've developed a serious Coke habbit. It's clean, fast and stable.

2 much to Choose
I like the stability of SkyIce 7.4 Lots of eye candy. Right now using StokMod-2-UCLA3, hoping that ICS will be released soon. I Wipe about once a week just for the variety. Only Bricked the SkyRocket i727 once before the 30 days was up.
Wish I would have waited for the note.
Personally I prefer the Tmob roms. The ones here feel pretty much all the same to me too imo. There are some pretty interesting ones over there like Tuesday, Juggs and ParadoxII. Really nice themes and features too. You just need to flash our kernel or else your rotation is all outta wack. I find there is more action over there. Although the roms we do have might be less original they are pretty rock solid.(props to our devs) The only downside to the Tmob is you lose the LTE icon (still getting the speeds just no icon changing) which I couldnt care less

I did a clean install of Weapon. Rebooted and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rebooted again and let it sit. Then I flash New Clip and let it sit for a bit. New Clip flashes over Weapon.Then I flashed my favorite theme. Stayed with the kernel that comes with it. I have never had great luck with alternative kernels and I really have no need for overclocking.
Kwes has an ICS like theme that looks great. Then I added ADW ex and loaded an ICS theme for it. I am very happy with the setup. Been running it this way for several months.
I have been playing around with the V6 Super Charger script but for whatever reason I seem to run out of memory faster when web surfing. I am still learning about everything it does, so I am not 100% sure that it is set up correctly for my needs.

After spending a couple months bouncing back n forth between different ICS roms, I'm happily back on the latest cm7 nightly. ICS is nice, but the Captivate is anything but designed for it. Cm7 is so much smoother, glitch free, bug free, simplistic, and just all around better energy for a rom. I am NOT dissing ICS, I'm simply saying our phones don't necessarily run better on ICS just because its "new" and "hip". Also, is it just me or is the ICS theming a bit depressing?

To each his/her own, but each device is different. My wife's captivate runs everything I throw at it with no problems and no lag. My own captivate is very picky. I tried most of the ICS roms, I think, and it only likes Team ICSSGS. It was a bit laggy at first but then I flashed Glitch kernel and lightly overclocked to 1248mhz on stock volts. Now it's buttery smooth, much more so than any GB rom or stock.
I am waiting on a SGSII ICS port so we get a nice colorful dialer and Samsung themes..
I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I'm on nightly THS ICS and totally happy with it. No problem whatsoever
I guess not every Cappy is happy with ICS though. My gf's gets SOD and random reboot with ICS. I'm trying other ICS ROMs with it and may finally get it back to GB.

Have you tried SlimICS? I have it on my phone and I know a few people that put it on their captivates, no problems so far...
Have you tried ZSimplyAOKP? No seriously, have you? I don't think anyone who's used this ROM would want to go back to GINGERBREAD :what: . Before you lose all hope give this one a go.

ICS
I've just recently switched back to Darky after trying nearly every ICS rom that I could flash. I had absolutely zero problems with them, and in my opinion the launchers and overall UI is much smoother than Gingerbread. However, I've had my Cappy for almost two years, and while I'm due for an upgrade, I love the phone too much to see it bricked because of an issue that nobody seems to be able to explain or figure out (including myself). But one thing is for certain... it has been a great couple of years and I'll stretch it out as long as I can!
I've try many roms too. zsimplyAOKP, DOCs, SlimICS, change modems, try each rom with different kernel... and Im thinking hard to get back to stock.
I have one of those old cappy who SoD over 80% bttery charge on stock.
Im now doing some testing with captivate keep alive at all time ON and even with that notice 1 or 2 reboots per day.
I went back to stock 2.3.3 for a bit too after getting pissed at the instability of the 5 or 6 ICS roms i flashed/tested out. In fact, one ICS kernel actually bjorked my USB port into thinking it was being used when it wasn't and vice versa. The real drag was not having hspda!! I've recently switched back to slimICS and have been absolutely LOVING it. I won't be switching roms again any time soon. As one stated previously in this thread, each cappy seems to have a mind of it's own
I have been using Slim ICS (with Apex Lancher) for 2 months now, all I can say is...WOW! It is super stable, tons of features and speedy too. Faster then CM7 as I recall. With every release it keeps getting better. Seriously, give it a try. With Slim on my Cappy I can happily wait for a quad core phone that catches my attention.

Well after reading up on the "encryption unsuccessful" issue, I decided to play it safe and go back to GB until a fix is discovered.
GB was good. But out of stock ROMs Froyo had the best battery life. And Eclair was good too. And just imagine how fast and cool Donut would be on our Cappies! Anyone to port?
