1. Read the new owners guide.
2. This forum is about learning things by yourself. Don't expect to be spoonfed.
3. Custom ROM always =Rooted mind you.

You have to discover by yourself what suits your needs.

the new user guide (that i wrote) teaches about stickies! and where to find them!
find the stickies in the captivate general, q&a and dev forums they have all the answers you are looking for and way more.
go. read. learn.
this is really basic stuff. At&t does not like you installing apps not from the market "its called side loading" you need to be rooted to fix it and there are pleanty of guides "one click root has an option to enable non market apps" to get a different rom go to the dev sectoin chose a rom and follow the simple directions or for a guide for the entire process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Assuming what you meant was that you want ATT's crap taken off and a new ROM...
Why would you not want your device rooted? If voiding your warranty is a concern it's fine, there are plenty of methods to return back to stock Eclair/Froyo. And there really isn't a ROM out there that's head and shoulders over the rest, you're going to have to play around and see which one you like the feel of the best. Try out a different ROM every couple of days and see how you like it.

If you are asking someone to help you build a rom well... I don't think that will happen. You can go to samfirmwares.com and download a stock i9000 rom, but without root you, and if you don't know how to build to incorporate the home button and haptic feedback fixes, your phone won't work right. My suggestion is to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
They are all stock i9000 roms with only busybox and root installed. I'm using the stock jvh on my captivate, at the moment, and it works great. You will have to deal with root. It's better to be rooted anyway.

Only replying to that small part of your post, and correcting you by saying no, you don't need to be rooted to sideload applications. SWM (Sideload Wonder Machine) can do it so long as you have the drivers installed and USB Debugging on. I installed several applications as soon as I got the phone, long before I ever rooted my phone, much less installed a custom ROM on it.

Why didn't you use google? There are plenty of places that explain how to root that aren't on this site, which is more an "advanced" place anyways(I use that term loosely, but I get the idea that people here assume you know a little about your phone).
Check out MobileTechVideos, the guy who does those had a three-part, in-depth ROM flash set of videos that explain exactly how to use One-Click to Root.
Edit:
Christ dude, use some decent punctuation and at least attempt to be succinct in your requests. Freaking out isn't going to get you anywhere.

I have the CSpire Samsung Galaxy S Showcase SCH-I500 with 2.3.5 stock Gingerbread. I was wondering if there is a stable custom rom for this phone and how to go about putting it on my showcase. I have experience with lots of android phones but this particular phone/carrier is qwerky in how you go about the method to change the rom/root.
Mainly, looking for the best ROM that won't alter the phone's stock abilities and step-by-step method on how to flash it. I'd rather not brick my phone.
P.S. Haven't seen any posts about this on any forums but sorry in advance if there is a previous post on this.
Bump for more info.
Bump for more info pls. I have stock ROM rooted but I can't seem to find a custom ROM for the SGS i500.
I would like to know as well.
I would like to know as well.
I found alot of good info on the CSpire Galaxy S on Rootzwiki in the Mesmerize / Fascinate / Showcase forum. My CSpire Galaxy S has 2.3.5 GB firmware and a build numder of SCH-I500.EI20. From what I have read this is the same as the Showcase. I had my phone rooted pretty easily but Rootzwiki helped alot with putting a custom kernel on it. Once thats done custom roms are pretty easy to find. Just look for stuff for EI20 Showcase phones. Hope this info helps someone.
Hi,
My name is Dustin and I'm new to the forum. I've read the requirements and what the community would like (please do not post something that may have been already be posted, so take the time to find it if possible).
I would like to say that this community is very clean, as the threads and placement of items are very nice and clean.
Alright, so straight to the point
I am using the SuperOneClick.
I'm using a Samsung Captivate from Rogers, trying to Root and all.
After I get to STEP #7 it just lose responding.
Any ideas ??
Thanks in advance..
Hi Infuse 4G community!
I will soon be leaving my Atrix4G at its best with MROM7 and heading here. I am aware of naive "best rom" posts are, however I ask you to please suggest a few. I've checked out the development section and one that immediately caught my attention was Beanstalk 4.3. If you would be so kind to suggest some ROMs based on experience, it would help a lot.
Also, I have not yet touched my Galaxy Infuse i977. Therefore I have no idea how to root it (in terms of requirements for the BeanStalk ROM). I've looked up a few guides but because it's Gingerbread 2.3.6 it seems to have problems rooting the SuperOneClick way. If any of you would please guide me step by step on how to achieve that marvelous Beanstalk ROM or one even better (a matter of opinion) would be greatly appreciated. I am somewhat experienced with my atrix4g, but clvery confused on the procedures for infuse i977. Is anyone out there willing to help me out step by step? Please and Thank you.

Best advice I can give you is to start reading.
Believe it or not, that actually worked With a few trial and error steps, I got it all worked out. Rooted and running BeanStalk on my infuse now. Now I have to transfer apps, game data, etc from my Atrix xD. Alright, Thanks!

Wondering if anyone can direct me, I need instructions (and download links), I have an old Galaxy Note 2 (i317) on stock (but rooted) 4.4.2. I'm giving it to my mother who is on T-Mobile and I'd like to switch the ROM over to a stock T-Mobile one. I've tried searching the forums and my results have been mediocre. I've put on custom ROMS before, installed CWM, stuff like that, but it's been a while and I'm a little rusty so guided instructions would be great. Any guidance to the right threads (I'm sure they exist) would be really appreciated.

You want to flash a T-Mobile ROM on your AT&T Notes 2 ... ?!
