[Q] Looking for a GB Rom... at last

Well, after many months of enjoying Cognition 4.4.4 (the most stable version of that rom on my Captivate i879, build 1007), I've concluded that I need to look at upgrading to GingerBread. My phone is getting so it's kind of sluggish, especially with some of the new App updates from the market.
So my question is, which of the GB Roms is relatively easy to load and most efficient for an aging Captivate? I really need smooth and fastish... but most important to me is BATTERY LIFE. I'm used to getting 24 to 30 hours on my baby with moderate use, even with its somewhat aged battery... and I've gotten spoiled.
Mmph. I should also mention that this phone has yet to meet a 1-Click version of anything that doesn't end up soft-bricking it, so that's a factor.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

same rules apply for gingerbread that applied to froyo.
"best rom" is an opinion. best for you is a decision.
what you consider good is not what others will consider good.different roms have different options, you may like different things.
battery life is dependant on what you do, what apps you install, and KERNEL.
roms do come with a kernel. but it can also be changed.
in my opinion in FROYO the best was firefly 3.0 rom with onix kernel.
you want my opinion with gingerbread??? my rom. the one i made. though i may be HIGHLY BIASED.

Yes... and I apologize profusely for posting what is obviously a question in the wrong section of the forum. I'm usually more on it than that.
I don't mind getting opinions on this, though. The folks who are really about the rom they're into usually say why... and this being XDA, they often do so in detail. Those are the kinds of opinions that make it easier to make informed decisions, and I always appreciate them greatly. And yes, I will give your rom a look, bias or no.
Moderator... if you could please close this thread, I'll set about putting it in the right place, if there is one.

moderators will usually close these threads without being asked as soon as they see them, not because its in the wrong section but explicitly because of the reason i stated above.
xda does not want opinion based threads claiming one rom is better than others. because as i stated, one person will like one thing and others another.
or if you want to know whats popular just look at the "thread views" count of the [ROM] s in the development thread

I personally am on Serendipity for my captivate. I find that it is very stable for everything I need to do. Just an fyi there are also no more updates for this rom so on that note it will stay stable and you wont have to worry about updates for it.

Saurom is a really smooth rom with good battery life I found.

SAUROM is good.Have a try.

GB ROMS are like cars, some are built for speed and performance others look good and some give you great mileage...and some have a nice mix of all three, the choice is up to you to test drive a few before you buy and then if you are not satisfied you can just trade it in for another model.
I have found something I like in every ROM/KERNEL (GB KERNEL development is exceptionally good) I have tried but its really a personal preference just as in the car you choose to drive.

Which kernel for my Nexus S? suggestions...

I have been looking on the forums at several operating systems for the Nexus "s" and i really dont know which one is really good with battery and with a smooth snap performance, there's just so many to choose from and its confusing to me as im a new user to android and learning it all.
anyone have suggestion for a modern good working kernal which isnt in test form, thats great with battery and has snap smooth performance, iv seen good ones on the forum, but as i said im new and not certain and rather experienced user opinions.
Thank you.
oh, and i saw a thread, a user said he lost only 3% of battery on idle throughout the night using a certain operating system, but i cant remember the thread..

I would go with the ICUP Kernel Edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401455)
Good battery life and smooth performance.

Your best course of action is to not create a thread asking for people to do things for you.
Go sort the Android Development forum by Stats and find the most popular kernel. Read every word of the OP and however much you possibly can of the thread itself. It might take a day or two just to properly educate yourself and get some background. Flash the kernel, use it for several days, and then and only then make an assessment of battery life and performance. After you have done this, go back to the kernel's thread and make a post documenting your experience and what did and did not work for you.
You've registered this month, you have 5 posts, and you've created 2 threads that are completely pointless. Try to contribute something. What I outlined above is possible for anyone no matter what their knowledge level.

looking for best TW ROM?

Hey everyone. I actually used a lot of ROM So far and I can't find something really good. most of the ROM I tried are good but not really stable. Please any suggestion will be great and what ROM are you guys using for daily driver. I am looking for something fast stable. I hate all the At&t apps that I can't delete and it is taking to much space for no reason at all
I will appreciate any suggestion with a link please it might help me and help other to find what actually fit their needs
Thanks

Best threads are normally frowned upon. Its really all a matter of personal opinion. What's best to you, may not be to someone else. You really got to try them yourself to see what you like.
Just my 2 cents...

Hey, Let me get my two cents in before they close your thread....
two words.....
1.Read
2. Test
That will be all, thanks for listening!:silly:

ALL ROMs are the best for those that use them
Follow the advice above as what is best for one may not be best for you as all phones/users/setup/signal strength are different

[Q] In your opinion, what is the most stable and battery friendly AOSP rom right now

I've been on CM11 nightlies for a while and I'm getting tired of the horrible battery life and MMS not working 90% of the time. So I thought the other day "why am I even on KK? There aren't really and KK specific features I use that I'm aware of"
So I'm looking for a more stable and battery friendly ROM, still AOSP, but I would be willing to step back to jelly bean. What do you recommend?

These types of threads are generally not allowed on XDA, they tend to become a troll fest and cause flaming and arguing. I'm going to close this thread, but give you some advice.
Each user has a different experience with their own devices. Two people can have the exact same device, exact same ROM, exact same settings and have VERY different results. This is one of those times when you need to just try it out for yourself and make your own opinion about what works best for you.
Good luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for:good:

The one that works best for you. I would suggest reading the threads in the original development or Android development forums, and pick the one that looks best for you.
This thread should likely be moved to the general or Q&A section, or removed entirely...best rom threads seem to amount to a load of subjectivity.

Actually, they asked what was the "best customizable" rom, which means the rom with the most features capable of customizing to their needs. I don't see why everyone on here has to be so negative towards people that are just looking for help. The answer (given due research) would not be "subjective" because each rom has a certain number of features strictly dealing with customization. This would lead to a very definitive answer. What's the old saying??? If you can't say something nice (in this case helpful would be a more operative word), why say anything at all?
As for an answer to the OP: For kitkat and below, the most customizable one would be PAC rom. Check it out. It's a combination of the features of Paranoid Android, AOKP and Cyanogenmod. I think you may enjoy it for personalization and outstanding battery life due to their tweaked kernel and performance settings.

Micmars didn't want to be offence. He just try to this forum stays as clear as possible. Question has to be moved to Question section.

Thanks for your help bro.... M the fan of pac rom but m currently on lollipop 5.1.1 so suggest me similar to pac man rom.

I'm hooked on Euphoria OS now.. I suggest you check it out. 5.1.1 with most all of the amenities of PacRom. Loving the battery life on it, as well.

Blisspop ftw

Still "best" and "ROM" Iin the same sentence always starts up a riot. Most customization within a ROM would have been better to say... Just saying good day people :thumbup:

I agree with "best" but the most customizable custom rom does exist regardless the stability and so on...
