I think I understand what your are asking so I will try to answer
The rom for the purposes of your question is like the operating system on your computer. Like you may have xp on your windows pc but you want windows seven. Our in some cases what would it be like to use a mac os with a pc. Or maybe you have windows seven but someone has found a way to make it beter, or add more options.
This is what roms are. Alreast it us my
Explanation. So if you have a captivate and want froyo now, custom roms are your only option

[Q] The Best ROM ??

Hi
I have N1 and I tried so many roms in it but every time I face a problem
can you tell me the best rom you have and dont have any problems
because I am tired of installing and wiping
and thank you
Nice first post.
It's kinda lame to come ask us to tell you our OPINION about the best ROM, because you want to save some of your time...How do you think we found our favorite roms??
All roms will have problems, even stock google roms.
Don't be lazy, get to flashing. Titanium Backup does wonders bytheway.
Please HELP me i tried so many before posting this
you wont lose any thig when you tell me and i will be very thankful to you

It's really just the principle of the matter; no rom is better than any other rom.
Choosing a rom to fit your needs is the best, and most interesting (imho), part of owning an android phone; there's just so much to choose from!
If that's not your thing, there's a new shiny iPhone with your name on it waiting at the Apple store. *sarcasm*
Stock Froyo FRG83 = Stable
Desire Port = Beautiful
MIUI = Fast ( not Done but very Stable)
CM6 = Fast (not Done, not really Stable)
Depends on your taste..

And it all depends on what you need to use your phone for.
I am curious, however...Is CM6 really all that unstable?

hi guys,
i am new to thinking.
can one of you tell me is it better to try things out for myself (makes my head hurt...) or should i just let others do the thinking for me (easier!)
i am also new to teh internets.
can someone tell me where to get pictures of cats with funny captions?
i would google it, but its actually easier to create an XDA login, post something here, and wait for a response.
thanks!!!

Which is the best rom so far and why???

I def would like to know whats the best rom out there for d3 so far and why is it the best one...???
This is a useless question as everyone has their preferences. There are only a handful of roms available and they are pretty much all good in their own way. Also there is another thread in this forum that poses the same question. Perhaps give that a read instead of starting a new thread
Or just try them all for yourself and find your preference

As a note, there is one good rom called eclipse that isn't on xda for some reason. Its a port from the bionic, and there are numerous themes for it available in the bionic threads. As they stand now they cause you to bootloop but im gonna try my hand at porting some. But check rootzwiki or droidforums for it. I haven't tried it myself but the liberty customizer addons are supposed to work on eclipse. Its similar to liberty but physical keyboard and autobrightness work properly in it.

Liberty has more built in options, but autobrightness and keyboard autocorrect didn't work. All roms are blur based, except cm7 and cm9/ics roms. However liberty and eclipse have had much of the blur removed and replaced with aosp system apps. I use jrummy romtoolbox to customize all my roms to look how I want them to.

what did you mean liberty add ons can work on it it has no option for it or no file to flash

Im not sure about the bionic bootstrapper but you can ditch quickoffice if you don't use it. I have at least 100 MB free ram at all times, normally more like 150 so I don't bother removing much. Its already got all the carrier bloat removed. Just try stuff. Rename them to have a .bak extension. If it screws up, boot into CWR and use adb to rename it back to normal or just restore a backup. If you're using safestrap and in safe mode not much you can do will bork your device beyond recovery. Its only while messing around in nonsafe mode

If you want to get a proper answer, be more specific. What you did exactly? That way someone will be actually able to help you. Imagine you go to shoe store, and yell at the door "I want shoes!!!" Sounds retarded isn't it?

My suggestions is read the ROM threads - talk to the dev's and most of all decide what it is you want..
ROM's are personal to each and one's man's trash is another man's treasure
Happy hunting..
