Downloading this sucker right now. I am so stoked to test this one out soon.
Im building v7.1 right now. It should have some decent fixes in it. 3G fixes, audio fixes, some apps are fixed, and more.....
You can wait if you want, but it wont be up for about 3 to 4 hours, maybe just a little less.
Wow, sorry but I am loving this build. I can't wait to see the upgraded version.
How did you get that HTC Sense clock onto it?
Got some last minute changes, so I wont have it up this morning, but it should be up later this afternoon.

Thats actually Fancy Widget Pro 1.0.8 with a themed flip clock applied to it. I take it you want it! lol You cant have it! Its MINE! lol j/k its a very, very good app. I would suggest you check it out.
wat are in the extra apps apk folder??
is there any other kernels i can flash to OC??
As far as kernels go, there are more here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/chevyno1/149845-kernels-5-26-11-froyo-gingerbread.html
As far as what is in the extra apps zip, it contains the files and apps that I removed from the main ROM, to save space.
I cannot get this rom to load on my droid. I've downloaded it from this site and also off of rom manager. Is there anything special I have to do? I've loaded other roms without issue. Cyanogen 2.3.3 as an example.
Did you wipe first? (that sounded dirty...lol)
Steel Droid 7.1 is up! Fixes a few much needed issues! Enjoy!
7.1.1 is up! No posts by anybody in between either release???
I dont have the droid but I just flashed this on my friends, great job, everything seems to be working fine, keep up the good work

I am on Liquid 1.9, can you tell me how much different you rom is?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
My ROM doesnt have all the features that Liquid's 1.9 does, sadly. Mine is more of a minimal ROM, with all the necessary features in it, but not overloaded with settings so as to confuse the user. Because my ROM has less overhead, it saves battery, and can run smoother than most other ROM's. There is no one "perfect" ROM, they all have their flaws, and mine is no exception. I will never claim to have the best ROM out there, or the one with the fewest bugs. From time to time, one or both might be true, but not always.
So its really up to your personal preference
Just uploaded this onto a friends so we'll see how it works. Liquid 1.9 kept randomly resetting on him

In case your came across the WIFI bootloop issue, download the new zip as of today at 8pm. It has the fix for the bootloop issue. :-D
Hey man nice rom, so far so good, on daddy's droid. Anything to help this piece move along a little.
Worked great untill......
Fault: When I put the phone into airplane mode and turned on wifi, it locked the whole phone up. It will boot, but after boot it goes to the lockscreen and locks up for about 1 min then roboots on its own.
Edit: I was unable to fix this. I recovered nanoid...
Help. Can't Upgrade from 6
Hi,
I flashed this rom with no issues. Until.....
Once I install a profile switcher, the phone begins to go into an endless reboot loop that can't be stopped without a complete reset of the phone. I have tried two different profile switcher apps with the exact same result. I do not have this issue with 6 and have flashed back to my original backup.
Can someone help?.... Please!!! I would love to upgrade!!!
Apps tried:
PhoneWeaver (SBSH Mobile Software)
Smart Profiles (Free) (AnTuTu)
Thanks!
Hi all,
Please recommend me some nice ROM on the following parameters:
1. Must have Features:
- Stable : Should be very stable, no freezing, no crashes and no major bugs/flows etc.
- Should be fast, responsive and smooth (without overclocking).
- Good Battery Life
- Security: Secure against hackers/viruses /Trojans etc (It should atleast bulletproof if not bomb proof). Hey I am not demanding military level
- Good signal reception for making voice calls and using data over 2G/EDGE/3G network. My country has GSM Band frequency 900/1800/2100. (I would not mind to flash individual modem for that if anybody recommends).
- Good GPS performance.
- No ATT bloatware, FB etc.
2. Some add on features:
- Customization: It would be good if the ROM has some nice customization features as comparison to stock version.
- Good Developer support for issues/updates etc.
3. I dont mind if following features/issues are unsolved in rom
- HDMI out feature
- Bluetooth headset feature (Would be good if Bluetooth file transfer can work).
- 4G network
- Wifi tethering
- Theming/animations etc.
I have tried to narrow down following ROMs:
1. R3VELATION (UCLB3 based)
2. ZEUS (UCKL2 based)
3. Vagabond ROM (UCLB3 based)
4. Any other ROM if some one wants to recommend …….
Thanks for visiting
Nits
Im running ZEUS. my 1st ROM ever. and im not sure i ever want to change.
i believe vegabond is the only one that has hdmi out that works besides that all are good roms it all comes down to personel taste

ZEUS here since it dropped in the dev section.
And the only reason VAgabond HDMI works it b/c it has the stock kernel.
Most of the Infuse native roms based off of leaks are pretty damn stable if you ask me. (that includes the new Revelation Rom)
Vagabond
All the ROM's are good ROM's. I have tried them all and had no problems. I happen to like the base color scheme of Vagabond and the fact that the dev has taken out the most bloatware - including the Tethering Manager- which can be important at times. Currently running Vagabond and seem to get the best battery life out of it - probably because of less bloatware,
All the new Rom are completely debloaded bro

I was skeptical when I moved from Infused to Zeus... and it was worth the try... am still on Zeus... beta version
By the way, mine's underclocked to 800, and still have no lag.
I am using Infused 2.2.3 and am loving it. My first ROM. Anyone else using this one?
Zeus is great!
I'm currently on R3velation but with ICS Revamped theme added, aosp lockscreen added, and entropy DD kernal. I guess I would say use anything by Dman & the collective....
Zeus is the most stable right now. And im sure R3v will have most sod's and such worked out soon.
ive tried all three
I have used all three roms and my personal preference is R3velations. its very new and the fasted i have ever used my phone moves right through pages. i had zeus before this and its very solid also and has a ton of addons which make it nice for personalization. they both are similar and very different in their own ways. i love both of em. the infused if you need hdmi, i didnt like and hdmi dont matter too much to me. ill give it up for the tweaks. all these roms are very easy to flash and easy to set up. just like the guys always say make sure u follow directions....
ran MIUI for the longest time.. loved the customization.. but was buggy at times and never knew what the next update would bring or lose..
ran Infused for a while.. it was pretty good
then I switched to Zeus... awesome ROM... very smooth and stable.. and the themes were really nice!
now I am running R3velation. I personally love dark themes. It is super smooth! The OTA app is pretty awesome.. makes downloading and changing themes and icons super easy. The animations are amazing!!!!
I am sticking with R3velation!!!

Infused 2.2.3 was the first Rom that I flashed. It was good. Never had any issues with it. Then, after reading the posts on XDA and over at androidcentral, decided to Flash Zeus (v5). Love it. Can do so much more than with Infused, and the support is fantastic. Considering R3velation, but am very happy with Zeus for the time being.
try the roms and gives them half week to settle...
you mention 3 roms, I dont think that one is better than another, it is what our "need" want to satisfied...
devs here are so pro, so dont worry....
its like giving you the choose between ferrari or lamborgini... theyr all good
All three of those roms you mentioned are great roms. Can't go wrong with any of them. I'd also like to throw cm7 on that list since you said HDMI out and Bluetooth audio isn't important. However, it does have tons of customizations.

Hi all,
Is there any feature available in any ROM/Kernel/Mod by which i can bypass need of pressing power button or vol up down button to bring screen on. (without using Tap-Tap App of market as it keep sensor on and eats battery).
When screen lights go off i just wana press anywhere on screen to bring it back.
I will pay 10$ for that.
Thanks

IF you think about how the application has to function, what you are asking is not plausible.
The phone is never allow to sleep in order to detect the touch.
Accidental touch will also turn on the display.
Your battery wont last any more than 6-8 hours if you're lucky.
After playing with CM9 and CM10 for the past six months, I decided to flash back to CM 7.2 with the datadata fix and latest CM7 glitch kernel.
Results?
CM 7.2 makes my captivate feel like a new phone. It makes me wonder if Samsung was right, maybe our little cappy isn't powerful enough to handle above GB?
Has anyone else had similar results?
for me in JB (and the reason I flashed back) everything was laggy in every version of CM9, and CM10. Overclocking and installing faster kernels helped, but it STILL always felt lagged.
JB was really bringing me down, made me want to throw my phone out the window while waiting for Google Now to load.
Now, with 7.2 back on there my phone is snappy, google (which is WAY less complex) is snappy.
So after using it for a day here's some things I forgot about:
1) power saving features work correctly meaning ill have better battery life on cm 7. I tried having wifi shut off automatically in cm9/10 and it never automatically turned back on.
2) home and messaging are resident in memory. You have to flash additional add one in the newest version to get this feature.
3)faster app performance. Everything but scrolling is faster.apps open faster,games respond faster, touches aren't delayed. In cm9/10 I could text faster than my phone could display on screen. Not with cm7.
Do I miss the smoothness of butter and the slick ice interface?
Absolutely. It is a trade off.
Cm7 was good you can do a lot more but cm9 I really don't like love aokp tho I use that a lot but the only issues I have is when on Facebook or games my phone starts to heat up

Having never used CM7, I was under the impression that the captivate battery life was worse than a Samsung based ROM or cm9. But you find it to be better?

Definately better than I was getting with cm9 or cm10.
don't recall stock froyo battery life being great. I haven't been on stock since last October.
I guess every phone is different. I couldn't make it through the day on cm7. I'm now on slimbean 2.1 and can get a good day and a half on the battery.

yeah, like I said in the other thread, your mileage may vary. My phone has never made it through a day on a single charge, even on the stock rom froyo. now it's down to half a day.
That wasn't the only issue I was having with ICS/JB roms. in CM10 it would take literally almost 2 minutes for Google Now to load up. When messaging with SMS pop up, or the stock messaging App, the characters were ALWAYS about 15 seconds behind. Sometimes to the point of making me wonder if it was responding.
Some of this stuff is probably better in Slimbean, because they have trimmed the system and therefore trimmed RAM usage down to the bare essentials.
I have a captivate and my GF has a GSM Nexus S. The specs for the two phones are identical the Nexus S is just newer with a front facing camera and a flash.
She has gotten the stock update to Jelly Bean OTA. so that should show that our phone does have the hardware to support at least ICS. I am using the stable CM9. I can agree with you on the battery thing, but I bought a Samsung OEM 1800 mah battery that was meant for another phone (s2 i think), but still fits tightly. with the new battery my CM9 runs at least one day, sometimes maybe 2 with light usage.
Your post inspired me to try CM7 just for fun. So I reinstalled my old nandroid from january, and installed the latest nightly and glitch kernel, and I am amazed by the speed and fluidness. Project butter? This is much closer. Everything is super speedy, and all of my apps updated extremely fast. I really wonder what happened to all of the features that CM7 contained under the CM settings, but I suppose they were removed in order to save space. It's all great except I'm almost disgusted by the look of the UI after being on beautiful 4.0+ since november. I know I won't be able to use this for very long.

Try the GlaSSMIX theme, with the Holo ICS launcher.
It is interesting that they dropped so many features from CM9 that were in CM7.1 and 7.2.
hshaikh;
Perhaps I miss spoke; The phone is _capable_ of running the latest Android OS. In much the same way you could run Windows 7 on the lowest spec machine listed on the back of the box. But you'll get a much better experience running Windows XP on that PC, in much the same way, Gingerbread CM7 + Glitch runs better on the cappy.
Java is a resource hungry beast, and with the polish and UI improvement require more of both. FUNCTIONALLY there is not a whole lot of improvements between GB and ICS. JB adds more polish to the notification system, and Google Now.
Alright, this thread inspired me as well and few days ago i decided to flash CM7 from CM10 nightlies which i've never been before since i got this phone lol i just went straight to CM9. All i can say about CM7 in the cappy is O.M.G what a change so i decided to make it a keeper, how? well changing the UI what else lol so ok i took the plunge and made a Phone version of my RibbonICS tablet theme for CM7 together with ZduneX25 ICS layout patch and gee i'm proud of the result i'm loving it.
I have posted some screenshoots here, i'm still working on it i want to make it the best as possible.
Note: I will be releasing a slim CM7 ROM with the patches and the theme in few days, The font in the screenshoots is Comfortaa but i'll add roboto fonts to the ROM once i'm done with the theme.
If you can't wait and want to have a taste of the theme before i release it you can donate to me and I'll send you the the RC version.

That theme is VERY nice looking, look forward to trying it.
In the mean time I suggest GB users check out this theme, it's VERY polished and really makes the GB phone pop.

I missed this comment before, unrelated to CM7/9/10.
NEVER use the Facebook or Twitter app. Both stock apps are garbage. Unfortunately there is no good Facebook replacement, I've come to like Plume for Twitter, and until Slices hooks into system sharing is my goto app.
For Facebook just make a shortcut on your launcher to the mobile website. It looks EXACTLY like that app and functions faster.

I have made more modifications and fixed few bugs since last time check the new screenshoots in the same link above.
I just need to fix 2-3 other bugs and the theme will be ready to be released, i decided to make free and paid version and i'll be placing it in the google play. I will still post the CM7 slimmed down ROM with the patches and the free version of my theme when is ready.
Cheers!

For me, I have always liked the CM9 ICS ROM. I highly understand what you mean JB is very laggy due to the cappy being single processor phone in all.
CM7 Installation aborted
Hey Guys,
I was trying to do the exact same thing like the original poster but I'm getting installation aborted. Currently I have Slimbean 4.1 on my device and the CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4.
I did the following steps:
- Wipe Data
- Wipe Cache
- Install zip from sdcard and chose the cm7 file (stable). It goes through and then just gives me a Installation aborted. Do I need to have an older version of CWM perhaps? Any help here how you guys downgraded back to cm7?
Thanks.

Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2
Every time I go from a datadata to a no datadata ROM I flash the kernel first then reboot recovery and proceed. Example : DOCS v12 (ICS) boot into recovery flash JB devil or any other JB kernel then reboot recovery and install JB ROM. Vice versa if I'm going from JB to ICS, I experience no boot loops with that method just make sure you DONT reboot phone in recovery AFTER installing the kernel then ICS ROM with JB kernel wouldn't be a good idea.

Im using latest glitch kernel with SIO and smartassv2, 100Mhz min and 1000Mhz max, default voltages. Any suggestions to improve battery life?

Hello, I decided to write this thread, your opinions in addition to knowledge and experience, I serve as a guideline for deciding on a particular ROM, I'm now with P3110XWBLH3 rooted, and what I want more than anything is overclocked, smoothness and stability, which is something ^ ^
Will include the following, as I see it is notably more:
Stock ICS 4.0.4
CM9
CM10
AOKP
If anyone suggests otherwise, of course included.
I hope your opinions.
Thank you.
I'm now on AOKP Build 4 and like it! But remember - if you need Samsung Apps you have to stay on a stock ROM...
IMHO it is Stock 4.0.4:
- Keyboard, Mouse and Bluetooth headset worked without any additional steps
- TouchWiz is really faster and no lagging when using it
- Good working time (For me battery enough approx two days)
- Nice small apps available all the time fand no matter what application or game launched (Splanner, task manager, calc)

AKOP Build 4 , blows any ROM out of the water. Read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892049
Obvviously it progresses through the various builds, but you will see it get better and better as the thread goeson . The problem with asking about ROMs is that its down to personal opinion , Such as myself and Ailir; disagree , but dose not mean that either of us are right or wrong.The best thing to do is to flash them all and find one that works for you.
There is no "best ROM" , its all down to personal needs.....BUT JellyBean is a better option , no matter the what the ROM , be it a custom build or stock.
My 2 cents, not worth much but you did ask lol
AOKP кeview the best .. but I have a СM10, he likes me more ...

I agree...I love AOKP, and build 4 just keeps getting better, especially with the Over Clock Kernal. But it is really preference. For a long time I was pure CM, but after I gave AOKP a try I could never go back, just isn't the same.
Good Luck

Nope not much you can do as they are a Samsung Stock exclusive and made to work on Stock ROMs. Its a pity as I really like some of the stock apps. Love the music/video player. I have been trying to fiddle with them for ages , cant get them signed or installed.
Installed cm10.1 with Dohllmen Kernel and works fine!

You cant beat usabilety and speed of CM7 based roms I currently use Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 wihich is very light and stable but also would reccomend gingerdx because it has a few added features and looks like ICS or JB if you download and add acheps JB theme to it
Minimal and most stable - 2.3.7 GB is what you are looking for.

On GB they are oxigen rom, and gingerDX

but since you want a fast rom stay with GB

I disagree.
WLAN is crap in his rom. there are several ppl who have the issue but he doesnt give a **** and focuses on completly wrong things. like OTA update....who the f*ck needs this? if i have to flash it with recovery first time, then i can do it again with a new version. nobody needs this ota **** wasting space on the phone.
And when he says "the rom is smooth and fast". It feels like my grand ma with the rollator can beat this "fast" rom!
i try the oxygen roms next hopfully there no such issues.
EDIT: AND he doesnt give the option for ppl like me who doesnt want use Link to SD or AD2Sdx to disable it.
Let's Agree to disagree my Friend!

Do not underestimate Mukulsoni's Kitkat ROM for our old faithful friend. Stable and smooth. Also the latest droid:good:

The CM11 WIFI problem on LG Optimus One has solution. first i have t say "Mukulsoni" IS DOING GREAT!! bringing the KitKat to P500 is really something, man!!! the ROM is not as much fast as CM7 is, BUT it's still smooth and KitKat BEAT'S anyway!
we need to accept that P500 does not meet the minimum system requirements for KitKat (internal memory, CPU speed and so..) and if we consider this, show's how much fast is his ROM!!
The CM11 WIFI problem on LG Optimus One is Real :crying: !! I faced it.. but also solved the problem!!
If you set "United States" in [Settings >WIFI >Advance >WIFI Region Code ] it will fix your problem! :cyclops:
the bug is where that you cannot keep this setting!! every time you reboot the device, you need to do it again! but, not a big deal to me anyway.
also there's this Thread which help you get rid of WIFI reconfiguring each time after reboot, by using this WiFix App .
:good: I wish you the best, my bro. :good:
When will you people learn? Bragging about Kitkat "oh look at me I got the newest Android - its not stable, still in development lots of buggs, lagg as hell, little storage and little free RAM, but hey at least I got the newest..".
Besides this cons as long as the dev is unofficial it will never be good as CM9.
Do as you wish, I've said this a couple of times, expecially when JB 4.3 dev came up, people said the same stuff. I don't care about you using KITKAT, but don't make a good commercial about a bad product to non-dev users.

There is no lag. The only lag with kitkat launcher but not a deal, can be beaten with Holo or Nova launchers.
There is no RAM shortage. Learn about Link2sd. I have some 90MBs free now.
You cannot blame without evidence.
We are not fan of kitkat just because it is new. Mukulsoni done well. 3 years old phone now works way better than 2.3.x
I am not saying it is the best ROM, but not deserving such criticism.
Have fun!
ROMs
Tried many ROMs, but definitely can say that CyanogenMod 7 (by FitAmp) is the best. OxygenROM seemed not so good for me. I don't really know why. It seemed that the battery was going down too fast when I used it, maybe It's just me. In CyanogenMod 9 (hephappy 9.2.3) I had issue with SD-Card that would keep unmounting. CyanogenMod 10 was quite good. Phone slept well, but It was a bit laggy for me. I haven't tried CyanogenMod 11 because of many unneeded (for me) "features".
TL;DR
CM7 is the smoothest in performance and best in battery for me.
CM10 is coolest in UI , battery last long if you don't use the phone that much, but sometimes laggy.
CM9 have this weird sd-card issue FOR ME (only few O1 phones have this OR It's just bad sd-card ).

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA.
No lag ey? C'mon I know you're lying.
RAM and Storage are two different things, learn to defer between.
Link2SD Am using it since like forever, I was going to mention a fact that besides the user-installed apps are on SD they still use internal data but I'll double check this.
Evidence? Check the whole thread. I stopped experimenting since JB as I saw in order to run newer android, system will take more and more from our phone's resources. And still checking dev by-the-way.
IT WORKS BETTER THEN 2.3.X? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
You just made my day xD
PS: If GB supported Greenify and other alike apps I would never leave GB. Am only on ICS because of Android compatibility.

Agreed.
Btw since I don't have this SD-card issue it's only your phone.
Play around a little and perhaps it can be fixed. (do know how to clean-install a new rom?, did you tried formating sdcard in any way and did you tried formating it trough different recoveries?(for example, on 4.2.2 JB I found a fix for non-working sdcard on partitioned sdcard and partitioning it trough diff recovery fixed that issue) etc etc.)
Thread Closed, there shouldn't be any discussion about Best. Fastest ROM/Kernel
