I did this and always ended back with my favorite, the stock ROM, now it's JL2. I have tried a lot of other ROMs but I find the stock ROM to be the best. It is just as fast (not in benchmark scores but in real everyday use) as all the other custom ROMs I have tried. It does lack some of the custom/Gingerbread themes but all in all, for me, it does the best job.
My GPS works well. I get great battery life (compared with others that I have read about). No issues.

Nice one cheers Ian much appreciated

This ROM is using the XXJPY_No_Wipe.zip, version: v8 ROM, coupled with a supercurio kernel and a jpy modem.
The CSC for this rom is : XEU
The theme is the xxjpy_aosp theme.
Not seen better not even sure it needs lagfix its lag free .

cheers mate, if the one im on now dont work out ill try it cheers
Hi there folks,
So I've used Darkyy's mod for a while on my Samsung Captivate as well as I've used the stock rom.
I'm looking for a new rom because Darkyy's mod is kinda buggy, unresponsive and can get really lagged down . I'm currently running 9.2 Extreme Edition. I'm looking for a new rom for my phone, so I've decided to ask the public what their favorite rom for the Samsung Captivate is so I can pick a new one and hopefully find one I love!
So what is your favorite rom?
continuum v5. best rom i have ever used so smooth even without lagfix
I also love the continuum v5, though it may be too adventurous for some. I have used FireFly for the longest time before continuum.
+1 best rom so far. Great battery life with gingerbread experience. Less buggy then CM7 and MIUI (atleast for me)
sent from my cappy rocking gingerbread
if u want something that works, stable and has flies - go with firefly
It's still on 2.2 but it works amazingly well! Smooth as butter with alot of customization!
Atleast, I suggest you try it

Lol at the guys suggesting gb for a reliable and stable rom, I tried it for a while, no matter what rom I tried on gb, if the screen was in landscape mode and turned off, when I went to unlock it I would get a hot reboot. I say wait for gb to stabilize/get a little easier to flash (not that it's all that hard)
Go with firefly..stable as a table.
Continuum looks pretty nice actually. Plus I found a theme for it I love haha. I might try it.
Any others besides Continuum & FireFly?
These threads are lame. Best ROM is soooooooo subjective. What works for one does not necessarily work for all. Try them until you find one you like. Best bet is to read the ROM thread in Dev and see what kind of problems the ROM is having and decide if you can live with it. Expect this thread to be closed soon.

I've been on continuum 4 for a few days no and it's been good to me so far, I was on speed-n-looks limelight before that and it is good if you like the green. I might actually go back cuz it is really smooth and quick, plus he just updated.

Thought I would stress that if u choose to flash a Samsung based gb rom like continuum, it will change ur bootloader and if u want to go back to anything other rom, (miui, cm7, 2.2 roms, etc) u will have to reflash the original bootloader.
There are two ways that I have heard of doing this:
1. Simply flash bootloader from full version of Odin
2. Flash to 2.1 then use kies to flash stock 2.2 and u should have the original bootloader again
Hope i helped!
EDIT: and just thought I'd mention that my favorite rom so far is miui. Just my opinion tho and i would only suggest flashing if u really know what ur doing and can solve some problems on ur own

Best rom threads = closed. Since what's best for you it's possible it will not be the best for me...so you will have redundant posts, flaming and else.
Try them and make your own personal choice.
I want a stable rom and kernel!
brother's can you tell me which good choose???
thank you~~

Is there a guide or someting that helps you pick a rom?
I am currently on darky v10 rc6 but i do wanna try some different roms. But by reading the rom threads i see all different kind of information and no clue what they all mean.
Insanity is good, gingerbread, slim rom with nitrality app to install all the bits you want and leave out the **** you dont want, I run with fugumod kernel, if u want advice pm me
Sent from gt i9000 insanity 8.5/fugumod
Insanity is good, MIUI is REALLY good, there's ginger real if you want to retain the stock feel to your phone. It's really down to what you want out of your phone.
Sorry if Im hijacking this thread, but I just want my phone to be superfast and minimize any hick ups.
Im now on darky rom v10 rc6 with sensation theme and I think its very nice. But if im not mistaken both are very now and there are some bugs here and there. Wich also appear on my phone This makes me curious to other roms.
So would MIUI be an upgrade from where im currently at regarding speed and user experience?
I was also thinking of maybe downgrading darky rom to v9.. not sure yet. Maybe thats more reliable
MIUI is the best rom (I think) for visual appearance, but there are so many good stable roms out there nowadays it's very hard to know which one is best.
Im currently running MIUI MCGv3, and am loving it, it's stable, the battery life is really good now, it's constantly being developed. All the things I like in a rom package, because let's face it, there's no point in installing a rom where the development on it has died out lol.
Thnx i think im gonna try miui real soon then.

If you need any help installing MIUI, just send me a PM and I'll get back to you as fast as I can, I check up on here fairly regularly on my phone anyway, so it' shouldn't be long before I reply lol.

Some people are having good results with the quorora kernel, but to be honest I haven't had any issues at all with the glitch kernel that comes with MCGv3.

Hi, I wanna install a new rom but I couldnt found what I exactly want.. please help me to decide
I want the rom to have:
-good battery life
-fast and has minor problems
-good features
features:
a lot unlock screen( minimum 5)
2G/3G
TW 4
applications and stuff from SGS 2
updated applications
3D Perfomance
based on android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
single and wifi improved drivers& other drivers (if there is such thing like that..)
another cool useful stuff
EXT4
so I was thinking about Juwes/gingercriskelo/SH/CM7/miui/or maybe something else?
what is the best for me, for what im looking?
thanks guys
NOTE- I have read A LOT of thread so far but I still cant choose
NOTE- cant try and install every rom.. I want to install a rom and that's it- be with him a long time
Why don't you want to try some ROMs?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
You have to try a lot of roms. I use insanity CM 014.
Lunchbox115 all my application will be deleted over and over when I change rom..
I dont want to mess with this things.. lol dont wanna destroy my phone
actually, I cant "find by myself" all the features even if I try this rom..
imidalv- yeah I've heard about cm7 but as I said- dont know which one should I choose
please help me guys
testing them yourself is the only way to find out. I want similar things to you, and have so far been through Insanity, Juwe, ezBase, and am currently trying Ginger Real. Ginger Real and Juwe both have plenty of features, but insist on theming them which really annoys me!
I use F1 SGS V3.0 (NON-WIPE).
This ROM is awesome.....
@darix: you could use Titanium Backup to save and later to restore your apps.

This guy posts an almost identical thread begging people to tell him what ROM to install every few weeks. They just end up being spammy flame wars until the mods delete them.
As often as you all try to tell him he needs to investigate for himself, he will continue begging someone to tell him what is best and what to do.
It is sort of a fetish thing, I think.

I just love your sense of humour man, respect....loved the last one over at glitch, made me chortle!
Insanity cm 014/glitch
Personally I liked the criskelo roms for everything you want. You really do need to try the roms for yourself. I am now a miui convert, very fast and responsive but does have stuff missing compared to other roms.
easy answer!!

I suggest u try miui(galnet's version 1) its awesome and when its comes to the rom, the features are far superior than the rest combined... also galnet i hear is a real pro in developing roms, so u can be assured of a reliable and quality builds.. ps: if u decide to try this read the manual properly!!
F1 S2 V2 this rom is awesome

JVP based, i prefer GingerReal V6.1 with Zeam Launcher. Very stable.
Don't you lot ever learn! Stop feeding this thread!
Insanity cm 014/glitch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978354 Try to use this one it is 2.3.4 JVP... Or Darky Ressurection 10.1 2.3.3. JVH - stabel, fast (not so fast as jvp), low battery usage.
thanks everyone ! I think I'll go on Juwes/gingercriskelo I dont like MIUI's team so much..
waiting for more people ..
rschenck- just shup up ok? nobody wants to read your negative comments
-and I heard that there's a problem after recovering application, the market does not mark these applications as installed, therefore I cant update it and it might cause more problems.. -->does it really happen a lot?
thanks guys

I need 1.000.000.000 € but nobody give me the money... xDDD
If you want S3's jelybean rom buy a S3, that's simple
If you want the prefect rom fast, satable , without lag, look like S3... BUY A S3!
If not and If you was trying different roms, continue trying!!! If you don't want black jb from cyanoroms use theme chooser app with a S3 Theme/ Touchwiz 4/5...!!!
If you want pure JB compile it from sources on your own to your personal usage without bugs, lag, and looks like S3!!
Please read forum RULES!
and never ask for the best rom or similar stuffs...
You can try the custom stock SGSII JB by SpaceCaker and you know If you dislike BUY A S3 xDDD
