[Q] Help choosing a rom

I am in search of a new rom for my Captivate. I am a noob dealing with android roms but I use to flash windows roms on my touch HD all the time.
I am looking to update to froyo 2.2 but need help determining which rom to pick. (sick of weighting for the att update)
Things I need working.
1. Bluetooth activated voice commands. (android voice action via BT)
2. Working GPS
3. good battery
4. 3g
5. smooth running
Anyone’s suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you all.

Hi, is very difficult to help you because almost all roms are the same. Some fast, other not so fast but very stable... I've try them all but no one has fullfill my needs. I've been using android since last november (before I use Win Mob on my HTC HD2), right now I'm using axura 2.5, but I've benn having trouble with wifi and since there is no more axura development I have to chose a new one. I hope that samsung will realease soon an oficial upgrade for the captivate, I've always preffer stock's rom's but captivate stock rom is disappointing.

Try Gingerborg 7.5. Very fast, battery lasts very long and quite stable. GPS also locks in pretty good.

This question is asked frequently and its really hard to answer. Its really a matter of preferrence. I-9000 based roms have become very popular due to all the improvements in 2.2.1. I've flashed almost every rom and even though they're all similar there are different advantages to each one. Ex: I ran DG roms for a while and had great performance but very poor battery life. No matter what I did my battery was terrible. Darky's ROM worked great but gave me a sim error multiple times. I decided to stick with Cezar's ROM and I think this is my new permanent ROM. I really like the level of support he offers and all his ROM's are designed for his personal use and they're extremely well put together. I've been on his ROMs for over a month and I have never had issues and battery life is AWESOME. Nothing wrong with other roms bur to put it simply when I flash Cezar's I feel like I'm shopping at wholefoods. Flashing everything else I get a Walmart experience
You want a worry free, fast, stable rom with great battery life flash cezar's. If you like to trouble shoot and experiment try all others. I'm in no way affiliated with Cezar. I just happen to be a huge fan of his work! Hope that helps.
Ps. I'm on Continuum Se all R tweaks enabled. 2 1/2h non stop internet browsing and downloading and I'm sitting and 75% battery. That's UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

What works for my phone may not work as great on your phone. I recommend you try many ROMs, only then will you know what truly works well for your phone.

And i think you posted at the wrong place. haha...

Without a doubt I would say the latest cognition rom available. I flash roms quite often and without a doubt I would say that the latest cognition has been.my.smoothest froyo experience yet.

[Q] Currently which is best or stable

Hi I currently just bought a Samsung Tab from Bell and looking to mod it to the best most stable version which closely supports these functions
- Phone use of course (voice) without routing for warranty purposes
- Camera video conferencing (I use oovoo or is there a better app please suggest)
I read some of the developments and see that modem was an issue etc. I want the most stable so that most services work.
Please suggest if there is something better than Gingerbread. So far I seen the Overcome ROM is popular now.
Please link tutorial page as I do not want to Brick it. Thanks guys!

I just read the Bell modem list and it says no voice.
But I am hearing people being able to use 3G services with Bell bought tabs.
Does this mean all Bell Tabs are not able to get voice?

I just found out that if I want to use the SGT on the Bell network I can still flash other modem firmwares and be successful.
Anyone know which is the best?

it's a matter of preference. some mods keep only the most basic functions while others are for OC/UV geeks.. read around, especially in the development section. If you plan to mod your tab anyway, the best advice I can give you is to READ A LOT! And when you're done reading, READ AGAIN!

It's funny you said that because thats all I been doing.
I just need a pick me up jump start on what I should start with.
IM THNKING
First of all things ROute it first...
-then flash the Gingerbread with Overcome
-then flash the modem with the one that works for all GSM except TMobile.
Will this achieve
-voice calls with the phone APP?
-Bell HSPA 3G data?
-Video font facing camera for chat?
All the other ROMS I will read on for tweakability but for now I am looking to just achieve the above. Did I miss anything in between?

Another lazy f*ck, read, hunt for your food, don't wait for dad to bring everything to the table.
i would recomend your for maximum stability use the stock rom, and be happy, you'll find out soon or later then no rom is worth install it, there will always be issues to turn your hair white.

I guess u wont be thanking this guy
As long as you dont have protected boot loaders and dont flash roms that do - should be alrite to try the different roms + then flash different kernels over them if u want.
Also first make a roto backup of your stock setup.
cheers

relax guys take deep breath , and chill . to the OP , the best to start with and to stick with is overcome gingerbread and specially with their new kernel is freaking awesome for the battery life

I agree on the chilling part.
But, I disagree on the overcome gold release. Compared to the RC1 release with the stock kernel, I would have to say that the Gold release with the new overcome kernel is draining more battery. Lots of people have reported bugs and lags while on the latest Overcome release, with the new custom kernel, compared to the RC1 release.
So, for now, I would suggest that you try the Overcome RC1 ROM without the custom kernel. I'm certain that these problems will be fixed in the future releases of Overcome. But for now the RC1 release is more stable in general than the latest, IMHO.

I can make some suggestions as i'm using a bell galaxy tab.
Flashing any Gsm rom will give you the voice capability. Just make sure you flash a modem as well. I am using JPZ and have no problem with making voice calls.
I definitely would suggest using overcome's rom as that is what i am using. Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter!!!!
You can get the bell hspa 3g data easily on any rom. if you sub to a bell plan, i would suggest the tablet flex plan where you can share your data with your smartphone (presuming you have one).
I just installed the overcome gold and have tried using gtalk with video. It lags for me but it does work. I dont know with the other video talk programs like oovoo.
I was on overcome 1.47 and loved that rom. Fast, stable and easy to use.
This rom is a little laggy and i was surprised that i got 28 hours on the battery after flashing. Might be a little different today but it all depends on the usage too.
Good luck and hope you enjoy the tab. I sure do. Flashing just increases my enjoyment of the tab.

LOL I work for Bell support so I get free data and calls. This will be so cool for me.
BTW do I route it first or just go straight in to flashing then flash modem?

I wonder if I've talked to you.lol.
When you flash you can flash the modem at the same time.
Have you read the walk thru yet? Give it a read before doing anything else. Evening should be self explanatory.

I dont get much tab calls just iPAD. I wonder why because this device rocks. Its not popular but should be.
I will try and see how it is. Your sig shows what you are using should I try that one or the one suggested not the Gold One because you said it lags.

[Q] CM or Not? Which one?

Hello everyone,
I've been a fellow follower of the forum since I got my Galaxy S about 4 months ago. It is an amazing phone.
I've tried CM7 at the beginning, MIUI and several ROMs (currently with Darkys 10.1) and I had always a problem.
With CM7/MIUI the problem is battery life and some incompatibilities like codecs, playing flv files and so on. I am really having problems to know the current state of CM7 cores, mostly about if the battery life is comparable with stock rom.
I really want to try something that is still evolving but stable, that when I want to upgrade I don't have to wipe everything, and that I don't need to spend days to have everything working.
My main concern is battery life when using 3G, now it is simple not enough and the quantity of applications that can be run in background. For GPS I use GPS AIDS and seems to work fine.
So I really want to stick to only one ROM (Darky for me is too slow for updates and I have some issues with it)
EDIT: I am currently testing CM
Thanks!

if you want speed choose MIUI / CM7
If you want battery life Choose something similar to stock
if you want both ............ Tough sh!t lol

U can try Juwe's Rom 5.3 JVR it's fast, stable and has a good battery life.
I was on Darky's 10.2 befor flashing Juwe's 5.3 and i'm happy with it
People say's that S.U.R.F.A.C.E. has a good battery life too, I didn't tried it.

I used CM7 once, but what is so special about it? I only saw speed y the selectable themes. Then I had compatibility and codec issues, also needed to find some driver for the pc to use usb tethering.
I installed juwe over JVH with Darkys but I am getting FC with EDT app and reboots in the browser.... any ideas? Something wrong? I installed it via CMW with Wipe Version.
Also for Tethering you need to copy some script from one folder to another... why the Semaphore Kernel doesn't come with that predefined?
I may try SURFACE as for CM I need to mess with Odin.

One more day in MIUI than in Jetpack?

I really tried Juwe's rom doing all the necessary steps.
But I have a force close error when trying to change the screen delay in settings, also no DPI support as the twLauncher and the browser has some lag.
I think I need another rom.

try this rom called : MilkyS MOD + KERNEL [v1.2]◄ Based on 2.3.4 XXJVR | Odin/CWM | ODEXED!
i had the same issue as u did , and the solutions is ryt above

As I am sure you have realized by now, the reason threads like this very little usefulness is that they almost immediately become Fanboi Fiestas. Each respondent will tell you that their favorite ROM will solve all of your problems and wash your car at the same time.
In the end, the only proper judge of which ROM is best for you will be YOU. You simply need to select a handful of ROMs that seem good to you, and test them out. No advice, no fanboi screed, no feature list can do that job for you.
Reading your posts, I can possibly give you some ideas of what to look for in very broad strokes.
First of all, the battery problem in CM7 is pretty much corrected by recent development. Most users now get about the same battery life as they would on the average Samsung ROM. However, I would NOT suggest you install CM7. If as you say you want to install a single ROM and then be done with it, then CM7 is certainly not for you as updates come every day or two. They don;t NEED to all be installed, but most users do. CM7 is the ROM for those who like to tweak and tune their phones and rewards people who like to experiment and really dig into the nuts and bolts of the OS. Since you say that when you installed CM7 for a little while months ago all you noticed was that it was faster and had lots of pretty themes, and you claim not to have time to even read a thread to learn about a ROM, then CM7 is ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR YOU.
Insanity and MUIU are both ROMs based on CM7 the same way the Samsung ROMs are based on the Samsung android version. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. Insanity is closer to CM7 in look and feel, while MUIU is closed source and by default very much like iOS. Each one has devoted fans, so feel free to try them.
The endless numbers of Samsung ROMs are mainly themed versions of the basic Samsung code, with some kernel tweaks thrown in. You are usually best off choosing the one you like the looks of best, if you choose to go in that direction. Samsung ROM fanbois and devs will usually tell you their ROM is incredibly fast and feature packed, and so much better than anyone else's ROM. Whether that is true or not, take all such claims with a grain of salt.
Go out, download 5 or so roms, read their install instructions carefully, familiarize yourself with ODIN and the three button recovery method...and start exploring.
Good luck.

Hi, Thank you so much for your comment.
I am familiarized with Odin and CMW since I had the phone and I tried so many ROMs when I started. The thing is that now I don't have so much time to read all the posts I only read the first ones with the main info.
Now I will give a try to MilkyS and then I will try CM when I have more time.
I will update you guys on the topic.
Thanks!

What do you mean lack of changelog? Its on every post i post a rom post 1 and post 2 included...

These kind of threads are pointless, like was mentioned earlier, each to his own ROM, some that work for some may not work for others, it does`nt make a ROM bad/unstable blah blah, only one way to judge a ROM, try it out then decide, no need for all this prick measuring...just my €1:74..

Ok thr best rom for you is jetpack, its pretty stable and has all features you are looking for with excellent battery life its very easy to install as the developer of that rom has made a simple yo use app. That takes care of all of the simple steps like wipe/no wipe, which kernel, which theme (two themes - basic stock theme or blue cm7 theme) and which modem! Jetpack's latest version which is v3.1 has some problems with tw4 so i advice you to not install v3.1 and wait for v3. 2 which will be there in 1-2 days as said by the developer!

Are ICS ROMs Good? Stable?

I'm running Gingerbread ROMs right now and hesitant to move to ICS. When are ICS ROMs good enough for daily use? I'm looking for stability and speed that is comparable to Apex and Mosaic. Prefer to use Apex right now because it's the most up to date and most stable.

You could read through the threads to see what others are saying. But I installed it on my Dads cappy a few weeks ago, and he hasn't had a single issue with it so far. Before that he was on Mosaic and was having a ton of issues. I used it for a couple of days when I put it on his phone, and it was probably the fastest, smoothest rom that I had ever run while I had the cappy. I would go for it.

Ya I'm taking a brief look, but not sure which to choose if I do move to ICS.

Basic AOSP (clean untouched googgle android) is Onecosmic's. The soon to be CM9 is team Hacksung. There is a themed modded one based of Team Hacksung's work. Wich one is more stable or not depends on the user, up to you to read and try.

I use teamhacksung's every day as my main ROM, and it works fantastically. I'm still running build 12, so there are some improvements since then, but I don't have any issues with it at all. It is significantly faster than all the other ROMS I have tried (I used to use Mosaic...). The only thing that is slightly worse is the battery life. If I use my phone a lot (more than texting...like, web browsing, youtube, etc), my phone dies before an entire day of usage. Granted, I did get my captivate the first day it came out, so there might be a hardware issue there too.
I highly recommend it. It was the best jump I have made, and it stopped me from getting the GS2. Now I can wait for the GC3

The 'best' ROM is whatever you find suits you. Best to just try a few out and make your own decision.

[Q] Which ICS ROM is the most mature to use on a daily basis?

I know that a lot here don't appreciate the "what's the Best ROM" threads but mine raises some important points and genuine questions that I believe the devs here need to take in consideration.
I've went through so many ICS ROMs and found that most don't even include a bugs list to know what works and what doesn't. So I'm directing these questions to you and hope to hear your opinion based on your experience as well as your knowledge of ROMs:
Which ICS based ROM is the most mature among the currently stable ones? Please post any bugs or point to what's not working if you refer to a ROM as a response.
Is it easy to get back to a Gingerbread ROM after flashing an ICS based ROM? Are there any caveats that i should know about before flashing any ICS ROM?
Thank you for your time and I appreciate your help and your opinions about this.

there are threads in the general section. please have a look

I've been using Team Rocket 1.5 and find it surprisingly stable (although, of course, there are problems. Just for a heads up, I would NEVER go back to Gingerbread. The girlfriend has Gingerbread on it and it's just so much snappier, not to mention the compatibility with ICS Applications (like Photoshop!). I'll name the few I have:
1. Toggle wifi via the 15 toggle addon and it will just kind of freeze, can't turn it on or off for a little while
2. Sometimes apps just kind of hang, when that happens just let it sort itself out and usually the phone will respond in about 15 seconds. No biggie to me.
3. I've had a SOD (Sleep of death) where the phone screen won't turn on and you end up powering down the phone; but honestly it only happened when I left Sync on in the background. Whether a coincidence or not. Haven't had it happen since turning that off during the day.
4. When trying to restore a backup I've had to restore the boot of the stock GB rom, then restore the ICS backup. Otherwise you really can't flash anything as the system isn't writable I don't believe.
Coming from the AT&T SGSII ICS ROM, this is BEYOND daily use. I just ordered this device off of Amazon and pretty much opened the package, rooted, and flashed this rom. It's fast, nearly everything works. Just have to deal with a few bugs. I'll let you decide whether or not to try it out, but I'm positive when I say I would NEVER go back. Good luck man!

None yet but for minimal bug disturbance, I'd say team rocket 1.5 is quite usable for daily use.

It's fast, nearly everything works. Just have to deal with a few bugs. I'll let you decide whether or not to try it out, but I'm positive when I say I would NEVER go back. Good luck man!

+1 I've been only on Rocket ROM v1.5, fast, stable and like ranger said, this is beyond daily use... really... no going back to GB as well...
It's so stable that I'm so reluctant to test anything else... no SOD, actually got it once and found out setcpu profile is causing it, uninstall and never had it for the past 5 days....
One thing that is bugging me is that the battery drain for the chinese ICS leak is unpredictable as the kernel is not so "refined" yet, you know what i mean
Now awaiting rocket v1,6 or midnote 2.1 if ever maxicet can get the N7000 kernel leak to work properly...

Should be getting my note tomorrow.
First thing I do is flash ICS after rooting etc...been running it on my nexus s since December and its beautiful.
Just got it on my transformer last week as well and its equally as good.
Any of you guys used midnote 2.0? I seen some vids on YouTube. It seems quite stable.
Any opinions in comparison to other ICS roms out?

I think its the criskelo ics v2 its very smooth without much fc! And telephoning and smsing work!

I have been using Midnote and I love it. I flashed all of the other ICS and they had too much battery drain for my tastes.
Midnote is perfect imo. It flashed perfectly, everything worked from the very start. The battery is amazing. Heavy usage and i charge only overnight. I wiped everything during each part of the process of flashing AND wiped after i let it boot the first time. No sod.no freezing.no nothing but smoothness. It is perfect to me.

Though I have had the odd freeze which lasts about 15 seconds then all works well again. Maybe once a day.

Ummm...
I'm using Midnote for 4 or 5 days
working good, charging it overnight, very view FC's.
Check the time on battery (attached)
* "Viber" doesn't work on it (free calls application), other than this everything is perfect

Also using Midnote and it's working fine. My SMS notifications sound sometimes doesn't work but other than that no complaints. Battery life is amazing and I haven't had any major problems. I had Rocket Rom 1.5 on it but that was giving me a lot of issues. To each his own I suppose might try out some other ones as well still praying that ICS comes out soon
