First off a Big Thank You to all the people who put the work in to make these roms happen.
I was just looking thru the dev section and was just curious:
Which rom(s) you favor?
Which rom(s) are you using as your daily driver?
Cog for me. I am a noob and it is easy to flash and much better then stock
Captivate
Cog 2.4
Cognation here... so awsome.

I don't really think there are many Optimizers that are going to do much for Froyo. If you are on a custom rom the developers have pretty much pushed all the speed out of 2.2 as possible maybe you could flash back to stock then flash back to what ever rom you are using. For speed I would personally recommend firefly, or fastys.
check out darky's rom 10.2 i think it's pretty fast and not sluggish at all.
if you want less lag and a more responsive rom, then check out v6 supercharger for android. its right here in the themes and apps section. its a simple script you can run using script manager from the market.i think its your best bet. i'm running miui and it improved response very well.so try it.its free.so you have nothing to lose
Im trying to flash a overclockable kernel, and i know there are plenty, i just dont know if theyre compatible with this rom... Any help?

Any froyo 2.2 kernel will work. Stay away form 2.3 and cm7/miui kernels!
You'll have to go a few pages into the dev forum to find them.
Hi there,
What is the best rom I can use that will make my captivate phone look like a galaxy s2 ?
Is there some kind of port rom or custom rom?
Thanks.

There are all sorts of custom ROMs and many of them are themed at least a little. I would poke around the forums, both in the stickies above in this forum and in the developers's one, look at screen shots (usually in the first post of the thread), and find one that suits your fancy.
Any particular suggestions?
If you want to run an sgs2 rom itself, there's an sgs2 port for the i9000. It's called hawkish. To run it, all you need is to flash a reoriented kernel (talon, dark core, xcal, etc.) and edit the key layout. I made a thread a while back if you're interested.
Hawkish already has its own captivate thread, but it hasn't been updated in forever...

Yeah that's why I'm saying just do my method
Thanks! Any other suggestions for roms that are for captivate itself?
What do you guys think the best rom is? I currently have CyanogenMod 7.1.0 and I'm looking for more Roms that are good.

Koush's Hero Deck is sweet

and
Jaybob's ROM also
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090234
Jaybobs latest is definitely the best rom out right now... might even be the best this little hero has ever ran

The best way to find out which is the best rom for you is to go on a flashing spree. I've done it on more than one ocasion; even reverting to older roms 2.1, 2.2, i even found a 1.6 but i like gingerbread so i stick with 2.3 roms. Its all a matter of taste. there is a Spanish saying that goes " para los gustos se hicieron los colores. which roughly translated means "colors where made for preferences". So I personal like sense roms but they are a bit heavy and bog down the hero so I stick with CM7.1
I've been using this captivate that a buddy let me have for a few months now, and I have enjoyed playing around with it. My friend needs a new phone so I am giving him this Captivate and returning to the desire HD that I have. I'm looking for a ROM that is fast and stable but I don't necessarily want to give him a stock odin rom. I am familiar with rooting, recovery and flashing custom ROMs. I've got a few questions and preferences:
I'm looking for something that will boost performance and remove bloat.
I need it to be incredibly stable as I will be flashing it and then it will be out of hands.
I would prefer ICS if possible, but a good stable gingerbread ROM would be fine too.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Check out the Collective team. They has several Roms...GB, ICS and JB.
Here is the ICS Rom thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29979761
Here is the thread for JB.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31145604
And here is the KK4 GB Rom...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20288065
The Collective does great work and produces stable, quality Roms.

Thanks man, I'll check them out!
Just a couple quick things to ponder while you are looking into the ROMs. If they need something stable imo gb is gonna be the way to go. ICS you have to worry about the encryption unsuccessful issue that is known to hit the cappy. (you can find the thread about this in the dev section). While there are some really great jb ROMs out there (The Collective included lol) sometimes can still have a few bugs.
BTW @ 4-2ndtwin you missed a ROM lol.
And thanks for your help on that sgs3 thing.
