Hey so i wanna know what kernal and set up you have and if its running good for you. Im running synergy r73 with ziggy kernal clocked at 1.5 with lag free. It runs fine but i wanna try some different ones. This is for ICS
JB or ICS? From what I know, there are only kernels being offered from Imoseyon (on Rootzwiki) and Morfic (in original Dev forum). I would recommend making your nandroid backups and trying them all to see what runs well on your device. Every device performs differently when it comes to kernels.

Jellywiz has been running good for me except for the wifi tether problem I'm having. I was getting a blue flicker but it musta gone away cuz I just realized I haven't seen it all day.

Ya im switching to lean kernal as we speak to see if it fixes my random hot boots and wifi on and off glitch every minute.
I really hate to ask but I promise I've looked. Were do I go to find kernels? Lean 1.2 to be exact. I read somewhere to check stickies but I can't find it. Please help!

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.

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.
Thanks for the replies! I will try it out tomorrow. Do you know if there is a custom kernal that is overclocked past 1.2?

Seitron has a kernel that people have run to 1.4 and I assume it is stable.

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.

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!!

Well lol it took me several hours to complete but I finally got everything downloaded and back to the way I wanted. I got root,installed Gingerbread,Gingeritis and then the mr2.5 radio. Everything seems to be working pretty good. I dont ever show 3g its always 4g, not that Im complaining but is that the way its supposed to be? Are there any extras tweaks that I can add that havent from the original? Sorry first Rom on this phone and there is 500 pages on this particular ROM.
if you are in an area that has LTE fully up then you won't see 3g till you leave the area and make it to one with no 4g
Just like would it help if I change the settings in sysctl config? The current settings I pull up are different from most other Roms I have loaded such as free memory,dirty ratio,backround ratio and vfs cache. Ok well I read about 3 other Roms that are gingerbread based and wondering if they can give there experience on them?

The root? I actually got away with a one click. Just needed to make sure I had the main usb port on my computer.
I know, I know, this sounds like a typical newbie opinion question. But I'm not exactly looking for opinion here. I'm looking for FACTS pertaining to which ROM is going to give me the most optimized performance (un-altered benchmarks or whatever) while still giving me the most functionality(I.E. all aspects of device performing as well or better than stock). I got this device a little over a week ago, and really like it. I have been reading thread after thread and just want some help, so please don't think I'm just looking for a quick un-researched answer. I am looking for legitimate advice. I am currently running VOODOO kernal and oc'd to 1.2 ghz and getting benchmarks around 1650 ish? i believe. I do like TW, but dont swear by it. I tried MIUI, and i cant really stand it. CM doesn't want to flash right either, and i don't know which direction i want to go. I also feel this thread might help others in my position. Does PnP offer noticeable performance increases, aside from removed bloat? Thanks in advance for any advice provided!
Heintz 57 is the best, most stable and functional. Everything works. PnP is a very close second and everything works as well. I say try em all. I have and keep finding myself back on H57. It's really a matter of seeing which one best fits YOUR needs and style.

I prefer miui, hands down, and i've tried them all. Miui + glitches kernel, i can get over 3k quad scores. Not to mention, its super cusomizable--super easy to change themes (no need to flash). Not to mention, it's updated weekly by a great team of developers so it's constantly improving.

I am running the same MIUI and Glitch and it is impressive, smooth, very customizable ect. For pure performance I found JT's Vanilla GB V6 with either his new kernel V3 or Glitch Kernel to be the fastest performer. Any of the MTD based ROMs seem to perform better and I won't go back myself.

I honestly like the MIUI rom. Everything looks and works amazingly. Only one bug atm, no MMS while you are on Wifi. So.. all you do is just disable it and then get your MMS's, and then go back on. It works.

CM7 is my favorite. It's well thought out by the original developers, looks great, runs good, and will run 3x the benchmark your friends still on stock will! That being said, it's still under development, and will sometimes do some strange things. For example, I woke up one morning to find my screen was on with colors inverted. Had to pull the battery to unfreeze it.
So, for stable ROM, I like H57. It's not as new and sleek, but it's stable and works perfectly!

Can someone post links to the MIUI thread, and links to glitches kernel? I'm running pick-n-pack and ready to try something new. I want to make sure I grab the right files and get this going but I am having a hard time finding the right things. I just need someone that can confirm what the latest files are so i grab the right stuff. I guess I am looking for MIUI and Glitches Kernel. I should be able to figure out how to root, red recovery and use odin out as I've done all of those before.

I would stick with the bundled JT's kernel for the moment. Right now if you flash the latest MIUI then the Glitch kernel, you'll lose all sensors. It sounds like they should have the problem fixed soon, though.

I've been trying to follow the liquid densensed 36 thread over in android development but there is quite a bit of info there to digest. I am very grateful to jester for all the work he put into this rom so I don't want to write anything in the thread that could be construed as disrespectful to his work....so I decided to post this thread in general tbolt.
Could someone post what does NOT work in this rom?
If there is a fix for it could you post that too?
I realize most if not all flaws are due to the original leak having bugs so I'm not knocking anybody - just the opposite....but whatever the reason could you post the bugs here? That way users can make an informed choice about whether to flash. I know the prevailing sentiment is just nandroid then try it but some of us really like to know up front.
Thanks for participating....and triple thanks to jester for all his work!
Jesters version is the only one I could get to boot at all. All of the others fc my phone to death. I've ran it since he posted it and I haven't had any issues with it all. The worst thing about it is the battery life and the lag. Other than that its not to shabby.

Bluetooth doesn't work. It reboots the phone. I've also had problems with WiFi tethering. It's a very solid ROM though. But as you've said the problems from the original leak still exist. Mostly the poor battery life bothers people.
But I'm sure jester is working on this thing. Dude is a beast.
Ah. Bluetooth is sometimg I do need. That helps.
Thanks!
Bluetooth works with the .19 radio... I have no WiFi tethering and when you plug into the computer its a pita to get it to hook up as disk drive. Other then that it all works pretty darn well.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Hi,
Just want to clear up some things.
I experienced the problem with bluetooth rebooting the phone and through testing if you install the .19 radio, then the rebooting stops. Since I did this no more reboots. Also I use the bluetooth and it does work correctly and pairs quickly also.
I will also mention that when I installed the new leak that came out a few days ago that it would cause random reboots but with the radio I mentioned no reboot at all.
As to the lag and battery life I also was surprised how bad each was until..... Yes there is a fix....
There is a script that you run and then reboot the phone and since then lag is reduced drastically and battery life is much better than before of course it's as good as you will get till we get custom kernels (shout out to imoseyon!).
I hope this helps you out if so hit thanks....
Thanks,
Bryan

There's actually an even more recent radio. Its here in the development section of the tbolt forms. I think the thread is called "ics combo radio." One radio was fixing Bluetooth but giving people wifi issues and another radio was fixing wifi but giving reboots with bt. This radio is the .19 cdma radio, along with the leaked ICS radio for lte. I'm on it now and it fixed my data issue. With every other radio I tried, I had to toggle off/on data whenever I switched from 3g to 4g. I also had a couple revolts here and there. Fingers crossed, but so far so good with the "combo radio."

PACman and JellyBAM have the same base and kernel so you will have the same issues connecting to work email.
I've seen other users post this about the camera flash crashing things, but I was never able to recreate it. So I just summed it up to an improper wipe/flash. No one has offered any kind of logs either to go along with said crashes, but that's not saying it will help because again we can't recreate these issues during testing.

Inaccurate exaggeration is nobody's friend. It's a nice ROM, sure, but saying it has less issues than stock? You just lost any further credibility.
Happens to be my opinion based on my own personal experience however. And will remain so.
I'm kinda like you david, I consider a ROM 100% when it runs 100% of the things I have to have or need. I realize it can't be like that for everyone but for those that it is, it allows a person to enjoy WAY more ROMs. JMO.....

But when I read reviews of a ROM, maybe I'm wanting to try it but trying to determine what things other people are encountering. Someone who says, "This ROM is perfect! Everything works!" but then I find out that, no, everything doesn't work and even they later admit that "some things aren't working but I can overlook that", well, that totally invalidates the entire thread. How am I to trust anything that person writes about anything else? Yes, we have subjective opinions about ROMs, but it does nobody any favor to exaggerate the abilities of a ROM. If you tell me a ROM is perfect and "better than stock", then I have some extra high expectations.
I understand completely. But there is more to a declaration of perfection than the statement itself. It would depend on who makes it and their knowledge of different ROMs but to me it just means it's damn close. I usually find out the details when I run it myself. That's when I'm reminded that nothing is perfect. Even the original developers don't distribute perfection and there is a HUGE well paid team of them.
I can appreciate anyone's expectations of a shared original ROM or a port to be one of perfection but that usually means the person with those expectations just doesn't realize all that's involved. People have to remember that this is more a personally fulfilling "hobby" than their vocation.
My biggest frustration is people wanting something that works 100%. Compared to what? Stock? Half the time the "Stock" ROMs have their own issues. That's why we root and ROM, to improve the experience over Stock.
What features do you want? What's your opinion of 100%? Sense? AOSP?
Hell, even the title of the thread isn't 100% accurate. There isn't an official ICS ROM, so there can't be a debloated version. And the word "Best" implies that there are at least 2 ICS Roms that work 100%....

Exactly This.
In even the best ICS "closest to what factory would be" ROM I've found (Virtuous Primadonna), 1080p recording, WiFi calling, and tethering were borked. To me 100% means 100% as in all options the phone came with work and not having options taken away.
MikTouch is still the best I've found. Once the Xperia ZL drop for purchase I'm bailing on my MT4GS. I absolutely love this phone, but I hate HTC with a burning of a thousand suns for bailing on this phone which was supposed to be a flagship device.

wifi calling works on ALL ics roms. there is a workaround for tethering involving barnacle and open garden. so that leaves 1080p recording

Did you flash the wifi calling patch and push gan optimizer.apk to system apps?
