Greetings all-
Been reading the threads of both of the aforementioned ROMs, and, believe it or not, I'm wondering what the main functional differences are between them even though I've read thru all bazillion pages. Does anyone have any input?
I have tried both and they are similar to each other. Slightly different small bugs but Atomic Fusion was faster till Cognition got EXT4, so they are about the same now in terms of speed. I stuck with Cognition as it is closer to a stock feel.
AF has a newer Touchwiz, and can have ext 4.
Dg has moved on to the sgs2 and is looking for a dev to take over cog.
AF is made by team phoenix so it is still maintained/updated
What would be really awesome if samsung would release the kf1 source code to get better kernels for both.

Hi all, I have been trying to read through the forums and get up-to-date with respect to the latest captivate roms. How stable are the froyo ones? I am not a huge fan of the touchwiz ui and would definately prefer some of the vanilla experience found on my nexus one. Do any of the roms bring that to the captivate? Any general advice I should be aware of? thanks.
The only advice I can give you is to follow the rules and post these types of questions in the Captivate General forum, or in a ROM's own thread, this is the development forum.
ah, my mistake. Perhaps an admin can help move it. Sorry
Very stable if you stick with Cognition.
Moderately to very stable if you stick with an i9000 ROM. A few known issues but many use it
Beta and still needs more of their genius power if you go with Cyanogen. I can't wait for them to finish this

Froyo has been stable for me in both versions JI6 and JJ4. This is before I flashed Cognition. JJ4 is a lot less buggy and a bit faster, but both are noticeably slower than JH7. I still kept them installed because of all the extras that are only available on Froyo, and the overall speed was good enough to be usable. Cognition adds more speed, and several extra nice touches, but even before that Froyo was good enough for me. I'd never go back to JH7.
Actually I've had more problems with Cognition than with the i9000 roms. Of course I haven't used Cog since I found the i9000 roms. They are more like stock Android than the Captivate roms with the ATT crap removed.
The only problem I've had with the i9000 roms is with the alpha and early beta versions. They are just as stable as any other rom.

I have tried both extensively and both were stable but i9000 gives me the features I want plus it feels faster than any Cognition.

Wrong forum, but I will give my 2 cents anyways.
Best ROM I used is Axura beta1 with the JPP modem. You have to follow the directions on install to a "T", but it is well worth it as it is by far the fastest and cleanest ROM I have ever used. Cognition is also a great ROM, I just prefer Axura.
I had a look through the Android development section and couldn't really find anything above 2.2. My GF has a captivate and she's finally willing to do away with the carrier installed stuff.
And IF there are no 2.3 ROMs (which really doesn't make any sense because I've been running 2.3 on my DZ since the start of January), what are some of the better 2.2 ones?

Serendipity is the best one I've found, Mike has a great eye for design, and he and Chance have great ideas on functionality. They pay close attention to detail and update the ROM frequently with easily flashed .zips in recovery (no wiping involved unless it's a major update). It's built on 2.2.1.

Care to enlighten the masses on this? Cyanogen's been trolling (IMO) on his wiki:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Flashing_CyanogenMod
"NOTE: As of right now CyanogenMod is not available for the Samsung Galaxy S family. Please check the wiki or the Samsung Galaxy S sub-forum for updates."
But then again, I suppose if you have a large amount of expertise and win in your arsenal, you could fit all of the witchcraft to the Captivate, unless I'm a complete noob and Cyanogen got a ROM hidden away that I'm not aware of.
Serindipity is one that I've been looking into. I have her phone ready to rock and roll, rooted + CWM. Just need to decide on a ROM
I find it strange that the Galaxy S lineup still doesn't have a publicly available 2.3 ROM... considering the first device to ship with 2.3 was the Nexus S. IIRC it has a near identical hardware set as the Fascinate, Captivate, Vibrant, I9000 etc.
LOVE Pargaon RC6....Great ROM! Stable, fast, and great GPS! It is 2.2.1. No 'working' 2.3 roms out as of yet!

Here's a captivate update zip. Follow the instructions on the CM forums for the initial install using the GT-I9000 rom, and then follow the update instructions using this captivate package.

As for it not making sense, The whole reason you have been able to run it is that HTC likes putting the source code up as to where we are still trying to get it from Samsung. Heck 2.2 official just dropped to day. lol
You will get 10 different answers as to some good roms. Just have a read in the threads and chose one that seems good to you.
Ok so 2.2 offically came out for captivate today.
I know There is Cog 3.03v which I am running.
Cog 4 came out like 2 days ago.
And I don't have any clue when a Stable rom is coming out for 2.3 Gingerbread.
I am probably going to flash stock (thats odin right?) tonight.. then go to Cog 4 tonight.
I am not really interested in gingerbread theme's so much as the actual changes.
Can anyone break down why cog 4 is an entirely different rom than 3.03v?
My understanding is its a modified version of the stock at&t froyo although I could be wrong.. So I am guessing 3.03v is a ported version of froyo from some similar phone.
Any idea what is going to give best over all performance?
I would like to think 2.3 gingerbread is coming out soon in the form of a rom.. but, I am also not holding my breath.
Advice would be appreciated.

You could easily answer this question yourself by reading the first couple posts in those two rom's respective threads.

I read first 3 or 4 post on each one.
Neither of them answered what I wanted them to.
Being blunt I'd be grateful if you proved me wrong.

Anyone who is motivated to push himself to want to learn something technical with a hands on approach and uses some obscure technology like these Android roms or Samsung Roms and takes it , tear it apart so that it becomes less challenging and transparent for others to use, is a Genius in my Book.
Give it a shot, I know you can port this puppy!

Basically since you got it to boot refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971709
This was way back when all the ROM's at the time were all ports lol.

Rom's not even booting. Stuck at kernel image. Any ideas?
how would you compare this rom to phiremod Vibrant V3.0.1
Hey philliple97 how would you compare this rom to phiremod Vibrant V3.0.1 over here phiremod Vibrant V3.0.1...
They are both 2.2.1 and phiremod Vibrant V3.0.1 is by far the the most updated 2.2.1 that flashed... Very refined

I'd think phiremod would be faster as it's a more recent rom

When are Googler_1976 and Johnsondr80 going to develop a Rom based on KI2? As of today there is only one Dev with a KI2 Rom available. I hated to see all the other Dev's leave the captivate I897 as I don't believe that it has reached it's full potential. But, all of the Captivate developers deserve a great deal of thanks for all of the time and effort they put into their work. This from someone who started using Cognition 3.04 as soon as I got my Cappy.
Again thanks to all the Devs.
Johnsondr80 is currently testing a KI2 Fusion. But its a WIP. No point releasing it till its ready considering KH3 Fusion works just fine.
Please don't forget that Fasty III is available already.

I assumed when op said only 1 dev with KI2 he was talking about LostLogic89 and his Fasty III rom.
Is there a noticeable difference between the new leak 2.3.5 and 2.3.4? Battery and smoothness?
Yes, i didn't mean to leave LostLogic89 out of the picture, he has done some outstanding work as well as the rest of the Dev's. I am currently on Victory 2.0 as well as my wife. To answer El Niche, all who have jumped to 2.3.5 say it is smooth and fast with good battery life.
