Can someone tell this newbie what the differences are between these two ROMS? I've currently running Eugene's (saw it first), but am curious as to what I would get (or miss) if I was to flash Team Whiskey's instead.
My biggest gripe with the Vibrant is the piss poor batter life. I run Launcher Pro and never really cared for TW.
Can someone post the biggest differences between these two ROMS so I can decide if I want to reflash? Also, I assume if I flash to Team Whiskey's Obsidian, I'll have to reload all my apps....... yet again? I have them backed up using Titanium Backup.
Thanks for helping the new kid out.
MODS, please move post to correct forum. Apologies to everyone else.
Flash both. Try both. Pick one. Post in right section.

Thanks for the link.
honestly its all personal preference... theme... included apps / removed bloatware... each rom (and theres actually one or 2 others floating around the first couple pages) offers different things... I flashed eugenes unoffical stock tmoobile rom... and like yourself i hate stock tw launcher so i installed the modified tw launcher.. which is located in the i9000 forum... (also in eugenes r10 rom... and a link to the thread in his rom description)... so flash each one.. if you use odin make sure you are able to access recovery / download mode via the hardware buttons... (read the vibrant bible.. all the info you could want / need on customizing ur vibrant)

If you go with Team whiskey's Onyx it already has TW removed and LP installed since no TW also cuts down more on lag since TW never has to load

I love Macnut R10 and AOSPish. Both are clean, fast, and mostly bug free.

Hey guys im new to the Captivate. I use to be a heavy iphone user i had the iphone 3g then 3gs then 4 and well i decided its time to take the jump to android. All my iphone were jailbroken so obviously im interested in rooting. I rooted my Captivate the day i got it (Last saturday). I really want to get 2.2 Froyo. Now i keep reading about roms. I know how to load them but what are they, anything you can relate them to as iphone. Now on to my main question since im not to android friendly yet i want a stable 2.2 which one would you recommend to be the most stable. Ive seen Cognition and Axura but i dont know what they do nor do i know if theres better. Sorry to seem like a noob but i mainly got this phone for the learning curve of it so tell me everything haha.
Don't flash Axura first! If you do you'll be disappointed in every other rom you try, lol.
Cognition is a great first flash. It installs the lag fix for you and is very stable (get a non OC version). Axura is my favorite. It is very fast, has some IU tweaks, and they have great support. I still recommend Cognition as a first flash though as everything is done for you during the install. You can pretty much install it, change your wallpaper, sync your contacts and be done with it. (Make sure you sync you contacts with google before you flash)
One thing that I overlooked during my first flash is removing the sim card. Don't forget to do this.
Cognition was my first flash, and I haven't found reason to try something else. Its super fast and stable, and was really easy to flash.
I'm running the beta6 version. These phones are not known for long lasting batteries so I always avoid oc roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Cognition was great, but Perception is even better
Before Flashing I would read the post READ BEFORE FLASHING!!!!! under the dev forum - and make sure you understand how to restore before flashing.
And comparing Apple to Android really is trying to compare Apple to Oranges (pun intended).
NOTHING is the same between the two pretty much.
And.. I'd def go with Cognition as a first ROM - as it is a "basic" ROM that is currently using a Captivate kernel.
After you are really comfortable with tweaking your phone - you have your choice of ROMs. Just beware that the i9000 ROMS have their own unique issues - so flasher beware.
A rom, more or less is a package that updates your phones software. most roms are based off of foreign leaks.
When you flash a rom you are not just getting 2.2. In almost all cases you are getting a new kernel, most of which have s lag fix to further improve performance. Your modem will be changed as well, some moderns enable hsupa or basically faster upload and download speeds then what you have with stock.
Roms also have their own theme. Changes in the notification bar, menus, custom animations, boot animations. Etc
Do not flash anything till you read some, I would suggest starting with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
This is a program that allows you to go back to stock, also allows you to recovery from a bad flash.
My vote on which to flash us axura or assonance. Axura may be the best option as it is a very user friendly thread and there are many people there who will help you if you need it.

Woops being as impatient as i am i decided to put Axura but no worries im reflashing to stock then ill put Cognition on lol This is good pratice for me. Is there a way to have like 2 roms installed say if i wanted to boot from one to the other then maybe back to stock or am i thinking about computers too much lol

started out with cognition and Axura once it was available.
Cognition, Axura, and Perception were my first three roms and didn't think i would wonder from DG.
Still think DG does great work but i have just about everything with the exception of Darkys (though i have seen a few new ones pop in in the last couple of days i haven't played with Insanity and the ginger clone)......
once i found and flashed Chronos i haven't looked back or missed any other rom enough to flash something else.
So my recommendation would be chronos.

Titanium Backup, it is free in the app store.
You can backup your apps+data, but it is not recommend to backup system settings. It only takes a few minutes to set the system settings, not worth any possible problems later on if you choose to restore them IMO.
ok i just flashed to Cognition Do i need to do anything i read something about the battery also keep seeing something about Voodoo care to help me?
I would read more before flashing
go to your my files. Should see a file called voodoo. Go inside, should be logs, go inside. If there are files in there voodoo is working. Not a bad idea to do a couple reboots

The last time I installed Cognition voodoo was installed automatically, not sure if they have changed it since then. Did your captivate talk to you during the first boot? They usually have a voice telling you what is going on while installing voodoo.
Ok voodoo is running because there 2 folders and file in there
2010-12-21_20-22-06
2010-12-21_20-12-33-conversion
voodoo_history_log
Those are the files so i guess im good what about the battery? think i should be ok?

I don't remember doing anything to the battery. They say to make sure it is fully charged before flashing. Maybe there are some tweaks you can do, somebody else who uses Cognition more will have to answer that.

You've got me interested. I'm going to try out Chronus. I'm a fan of minimalistic roms... it would take allot to sway me from Axura though. It just runs so smooth.
It was my first ROM flash, and along with it i decided to get the gingerbread keyboard, too. I noticed that my captivate seems slower in general now. Screen transitions and stuff like that is fine, but opening apps is usually slower. Like the phone lags a lot. I have it OCLF'd. At least, i did before flashing. It seems to not have erased it.
Can anyone tell me what the sudden slowdown is about? Am i just paranoid?
thanks in advance.
You should not attempt to have two lag fixes. Cognition has voodoo lag fix built in. I would recommend you flash back to stock and then flash Cognition.

Go back to stock and flash Andromeda 1.1 or 2.1. I've tried many ROMs including that one and nothing matches the speed of Andromeda. I highly recommend it!
Did you disable olcf before flash? If not flash stock start over. Any one who says rom x is best is saying a personal opinion, not fact

I haven't tried any of the other rom but you are right about the speed.... I get zero lag... I'm really impressed with this rom that I have no plans on changing.
Cog is a good ROM but by no means the fastest one out there. Serendipty, Phoenix, Paragon, Andromeda will all give you a much faster / smoother experience.

I just flash to cog yesterday and it was my first time I did this in my SGS (previously I had a hacked Nexus One). I liked it to much, I'm happy with it.
In weeks later I'll give a try to those roms you mencion like Andromeda or Phoenix 'cause u' say they're faster.

Be careful when flashing Andromeda because I soft-bricked my phone for 3 days, now I can't even use unless I am somewhere with at least 3-4 bars. I might have screwed it up when I flashed it.

This thread is for issues related to the rom. Likes and dislikes are user based and will not do any good as for what to expect and all custom roms are a best for you type of thing. I could say that I like this this and this about the rom but some one else would say that they dont like the same things. See my point? Each rom has an outline for the rom in the first post.
Love the rom. I'm on 2.1 and have noticed my camera won't work, just FCs. Extracted some old phoenix and SN roms I had on my phone and tried to copy the .apk and camera firmware into system/app using root explorer and reboot. No luck. Any ideas? I would prefer not to reflash.

Just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. As a noob it's nice to have a way to communicate until you reach your post count.
I am running;
Rom: super nova 2.1
Kernel: speedmod-k13b-500hz #54
Baseband version: i9000ugjk4
The problems I am experiencing aren't a major deal, just thought I would mention them.
1. When I am connected to wifi and try and use the Facebook app I get a connection timeout message. While using at&t data I don't.
2. I get a FC when trying to open the Fox News app.
Enjoying Adams and teams work, thanks.

Try restoring the stock email.apk that came with the rom, no idea why they're tied together but they are.
As for FCing on the Fox News app, I got that too and just uninstalled it, not sure why it was doing that.

Has anyone checked their "About Phone" info under the settings after flashing the 2.3 download and still see their "Build number" as Supernova 2.1??
Shouldn't this be 2.3 instead of 2.1 or was the revision number suppose to stay the same this update?

Also, does anyone know where to grab the 2.1 ringtones from the zip file? There was a nice one in there that I'd like to get back.

Ah awesome, that was so easy! thank you!
I am on 2.3 and this is my favourite one so far. Really enjoy the Phoenix team roms. With other roms I have noticed that when you touch the screen the soft home keys do not light up. If you touch the keys themselves they light up for only 3 seconds. I found I had to use an app/widget called keep the lights on for that issue. With this rom however, the soft keys work perfect. If I touch anywhere on the screen they light up for 10 seconds or more just like my stock did.
If I ever check out another Rom is there something I could import from this to keep that great feature? I don't think I will be flashing for a while after this one. But once flashaholism sets in sometimes I have no choice...lol

Thinking About Migrating
Hello all, I've been a loyal Perception user since I purchased my Captivate and tried out several of the active ROMs. I've started to look for a new ROM since DG announced that the Perception line was defunct. I have a few questions regarding Supernova:
1) Are there other themes, loaded stock, with the ROM. The black one from the screenshot isn't really my style.
2) Does this ROM include the three-button fix? My phone is one of the unlucky few that cannot boot to recovery mode via button holding.
3) For those of you who have flashed many a ROM and decided to use Supernova, what do you like about it best? Why did you select this ROM over the others available?

1) Yes there are other themes, I am currently running SN JS5 version and using Nunhugger's Absolution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10254722&postcount=5
at this point, it appears most JPY/JS5 themes will work with any JPY/JK3/JS5 ROMS
2) My phone also does not have 3 button. But it has the extended power menu, long press on the power button gives you the option to boot to Download, Recovery, Reboot, etc.
3) Honestly, I move between Phoenix, Supernova, and FireFly. Adam and Team have a level of detail I havent seen around, but the big part is the support. There is NO flaming on his threads, so people arent affraid to ask question if they cant figure something out. They are all solid ROM's very stable, very well put together. In the end I couldnt tell you one of them is better than the other, just a little bit different
it's a long way to go.my captive's screen is so cool.

Serendipity 5.10 + Da_g GPS Fix?
Hello,
I'm a new comer to this Forum (aka noob )... Since last week I've been flashing different ROMs to my Captivate, always looking for a workable GPS on them.
I tried most of them, liked Serendipity the most, however I cannot make the GPS to work! I was reading the Da_g GPS fix, however I didn't look anyone there testing in on the Serendipity ROM. Has anyone tried the Serendipity + Da_g GPS Fix? Is it possible? Is there other way to make the GPS work on Serendipity that I'm skipping?
Another question, why does the Labs Test Mode Secret Code doesn't work on the Serendipity ROM?
Thanks and apologies if the questions are really noobs or asked in other forum.

Cadejos,
First off the GPS on the Captivate will never fully work. We as ROM builders can do the best we can to make it work just slightly better. Serendipity does include some of these GPS fixes.
To get into the lab test mode try Captivate SGS Tools. Here
Hope this has helped!
ChanceM
The GPS works fairly well on Serendipity, for a Captivate, I've had pretty good luck with mapping and navigation. Get the GPSRestore app Samsung put on the market, run it to reset any fiddling you might have done, and then go from there. I had followed Da_g's thread, but the GPS was working ok, so I never ran his fix.

Although I have only been running serendipity for about a week it's great and my GPS locks within seconds every time.I just want to make sure im not missing something since i'm new to the ROM thing, everyone keeps mentioning making sure the kernal is up to date now I started with serendipity 5.7 and am now running 5.10 do I have to do anything else as far as upgrades go?

Here is the link to the SpeedMod kernel thread. This is the kernel used in the ROM. The kernel is now up to version 13c, the one that comes stock with the ROM is a few versions back. You can flash the newest one with the SGS Kernel Flasher. Download the ODIN version here.

I update the kernel version in the base ROM. If you were to flash the full 5.10, you'd get 13B.
I leave the kernel updates out of the updates since many people don't use speedmod and would have to flash their kernel if choice again after.

I love the inverted Gmail, but there is only one issue and was wondering if it could be looked into, it's very hard to tell which is the new email and which is the old email. The only difference I can see on mine is that the black background box is a little darker on the new emails. Is there a way you could make the old email maybe not bold or something. Just anything to distinguish new emails from old besides the darker box (which isn't extremely noticable). Besides that, I can't say enough good things about your rom. Thanks again.

Here is the link to the SpeedMod kernel thread. This is the kernel used in the ROM. The kernel is now up to version 13c, the one that comes stock with the ROM is a few versions back. You can flash the newest one with the SGS Kernel Flasher. Download the ODIN version here.

Speedmod CWM?
Can I flash the clockwork mod version of speedmod from recovery? Great idea to have a separate section for us noobs. Remember, there are no stupid questions...

Actually, I was asking about updating the speedmod kernal. I should have quoted the previous post that refers to using sgs kernal flasher with odin version of speedMod kernal.
Yes u can. download the cwm version and flash.

I used Odin and it took me about 2 min.(including downloading ODIN) so not sure if clockword mod would be any different but it was extremely easy to do with ODIN and I'm new to this stuff

Hello,
I'm a new comer to this Forum (aka noob )... Since last week I've been flashing different ROMs to my Captivate, always looking for a workable GPS on them.
I tried most of them, liked Serendipity the most, however I cannot make the GPS to work! I was reading the Da_g GPS fix, however I didn't look anyone there testing in on the Serendipity ROM. Has anyone tried the Serendipity + Da_g GPS Fix? Is it possible? Is there other way to make the GPS work on Serendipity that I'm skipping?
Another question, why does the Labs Test Mode Secret Code doesn't work on the Serendipity ROM?
Thanks and apologies if the questions are really noobs or asked in other forum.

I haven't read the other replies to you yet, but have this to offer:
I have found the GPS to work fairly well, but not perfect, with the Serendipity ROM.
However I have given up on expectations of great GPS from the phone natively. What I have done is invest $35 (some are less expensive on eBay) for an external GPS that the phone hooks to via blue tooth, and it provides accuracy down to 3 feet. I'd suggest saving yourself the aggravation and making that investment if you expect to use the GPS much. I only use it for actual navigation. I find the internal GPS is fine for all other things needing GPS.
Here is a link to a thread about using one.

yes it is possible and i do it via cwm. use cwm zip of the kernel (good that now the odin version is in .tar to avoid any confusions and errors)
quiet a few point you shall consider before doing so:-
You may want to change /system back to rfs if you converted it to ext4. It may not flash/install otherwise if you are changing from a different kind of lagfix.
This is my first ROM to flash on my phone, and I really enjoy it. I am overall very happy but there is a few issues I have ran into.
The major one being the "reject with message" feature. It does not work at all. Am I doing anything wrong? does this just not work on serendipity? Let me know if anything can be changed because I really miss this feature.
I also cannot get my e-mail to sync up, but this may be a user error.
If anyone can help me with the reject with message feature, that would be great.

Are you by any chance using Google Voice? I am , and it has never worked with it. (I wish it did).
I'm thinking it may have to do with the Messaging client you are using. I know that there have been various posts about loading different messaging, due to various issues. Haven't seen this one mentioned before though.
I am using the stock messenger that came with the flash. If this is an issue with just this client, any opinions on what I should use? I really didnt have a problem with the samsung messenger, but I have heard good things about other clients
