Help Me Make A Decision

I suppose this is the right place to post this. Because it does say "Dream Q & A"
So here I go. After the first time of rooting my g1 and installing jf's rom and "lite bricking" my g1 from using the apps2sd2 app trying to partition my sd card "which it already was" and then finally flashing back to stock firmeware safely with no hicups
I'm finally deciding to get back onto the "root" wagon and I know there's a couple of roms out there for "advanced" and "nornal" users and (I'm kind of both) I'm wondering
And please don't flame me and say "u have to decide" or "search" because I don't want to pick a rom that's crappy(I'm not saying any of them are crappy) I just don't want a rom with a "dead" dev. And so I'm wondering out of all you guys here, And out of all the roms you've tried, which would you suggest is the best and why you use it so I can kinda see what I'm going to do here.
And please if you have nothing positive to say then don't say it ; )

Cyanogen is the best for me.

Cyanogen! The thing's he's done...just wow plain WOW

i do agree with this point.....even Haykuro admits that he is the one

Cyan's rom is hands down the best period. The constant updates and the fact that he is always around trying to fix things and add great new features.

Cyanogen's Rom FTW. currently at 3.6.2 with updates when needed. I love his rom and with A2SD i get 80mb of free internal space with amazing speeds!

I echo Cyanogen as well, however I've yet to try out Dude's new build with built in hero theme, HTC Music app etc.
There are other ROMs out there as well but it depends on your needs. If you need Exchange support then try one of the Rogers ROMs. If you don't know what Exchange is, then chances are you wouldn't need it so the choice is between Cyanogen and Dudes.

Dude's builds are amazing as well. He doesn't seem to be around that frequently now. I love CM's ROMS but if you want stability, like ABSOLUTE stability, JF all the way.

Rosie.apk with Cyanogen Rom?

Has it been done? I couldn't tell if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822 is compatible with the cyanogen roms or this only applies for hero roms that have been worked with thus far. Otherwise, would love to see this done if possible.
Thanks for the input.

Rosie is tied to HTC's framework, trust me your not the first to bring this up.I asked this q months ago, even installed the rosie.apk and nothing happened.

Nope
Rosie is HtC Framework diffrent than Aosp Google

Not gonna happen, it relies on Htc's closed-source frameworks- thus only Sense based roms can use it (and older ones at that)
p.s. Post in the correct section next time

RE:
Think it will ever be open sourced or highly doubtful?
I mean, I without a doubt love kingklick's 0.6's rom, but it has some bugs that needs tweaking out such as everyone's problem it seems... the camera and bluetooth.
p.s. - please push this thread to Dream Q&A (sorry, my mistake).

A mod will move it when they see it.
HTC wouldnt open source it unless they want it to be copied by other people which would be bad for business.The you would have hero widgets running on the liquid or droid and you get my point.

Any decent 2.3 ROMs for the Captivate?

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?

Don't Forget Serendipity, great support ,frequent updates

2.3 ROMs aren't out yet.
But there are some really nice 2.2.1 ROMs, di11igaf's rom being one of them

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.

[Q] [rom] will ever see this rom over here

i was fooling around at Desire dev threads,where is found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940&highlight=sense+3.0
as a nexus one owner really i'm jealous that non dev phone gets cool rom than we can easily have.
Can any one port this rom to our beloved nexus?

Yeap, it's right here. Link

There is alot more variety of roms in the desire dev section, this is probably because its a more popular phone and just as easily modded like the n1.
Even CM7 is more stable on desire, no wonk etc...
The sense roms are more feature complete and stable as well.

The time is soon where the N1 would have to be given up for people who needs these ROMS. Nobody will support it after awhile ):

i did flashed that rom but it has two things
1. it got glitches as it says it has
2. no arabic support
and the weirdest thing happened that it gave me an error ( no space left) on flashing it the second time !!!!!!!!!!
anyhow thanks for you reply

Onecosmic's ICS Port RC3 is up for i9000/b and vibrant and cappy will be very soon.

Code is back up, we're hosting there again now. Grooby's thread is not under control by us and anything he says/does is not condoned by onecosmic or his team.
We're up to rc3 now and the rom is much more stable than before, seems to be performing better and people are working on fixes for gps,it should be working soon. updates are on the google code pages here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-sandwich-sgs/
The rom should now be flashable from anything,just wipe and flash.

Thanks, will give it a try

This Rom is fast and smooth ,music player is perfect loving it, gallery work great too and there is a fix for root in the i9000 tread http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S67I9Q0L .front camera is still broken ,recorder.and brightness not working just those fews bugs to be fix and this rom is going to be one of the best ICS rom .great work onecosmic's..........

I really don't understand the vibrant dev community. Or maybe it's just a problem with xda in general the the belief that every single dev here is on his own to create his own grand master ROM and screw the rest (besides the big names like Cyanogen and others).
But when there is another perfectly good ROM out there, that is under active development and has already solved many of the major problems with the current code, and then someone forks the code and essentially starts over, it is a real tragedy.
"onecosmic," please work with the devs in this thread to improve the ICS build that already has months of work put into it, instead of creating your own:

Taking nothing away from neobuddy or teamhacksung, onecosmic did have the first ICS for the Galaxy S posted.

so you want onecosmic to stop working on the rom that allowed neo to even release ICS on the vibrant. Also he doenst have a vibrant, this rom is originally for the sgs and is ported over, hence why we need to flash another kernel. The problem with the vibrant community isnt the devs its the people like you that expect a rom that is 100 percent perfect and on top of that does your dishes and makes bacon
What you should do is go talk to neo about helping out with the rom instead of kanging cm and other applications. I swear his roms have more bloat on them then twiz.

Now that was uncalled for.
I understand that onecosmic was the first to build a functional ICS for the Galaxy S series, but that does not mean he has to be the only one. What's wrong with KANG'ing something? Neo isn't taking credit for anything, he's gave credit where credit was due.

I'm on neobuddy ics can i flash firs the rom and them the kernel or this rom uses a different partitions and i need to flash first the kernel reboot recovery flash rom/flash kernel and them reboot system

Passion v6 & v7 vs Onecosmic
What we want in this community is quality ROM's. No one has a monopoly on good ideas and we as users always benefit when we have more than one group working on competing ideas.
I tried and respect Neo's ICS Passion Roms. I've been using them since v5. v6 is a good daily ROM. v7 was too laggy for me.
Onecosmic's 4.0.3 ROM is much smoother. From the first boot. Brightness doesn't work. But everything else does.
For me, this demonstrates the value in alternatives.
Good work Onecosmic.

Try screen filter if you need to lower brightness
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

From my understanding, Neo's rom is still 2.X kernel while Onecosmic's is 3.X based. Different approaches I guess. Onecosmic is more than happy to help out with the Vibrant community, you just have to ask. I tried the latest and had an issue with the cpu staying on full blast and chewing up the battery so I went back to stock MIUI until he hammers a few other things out.

Nice way to turn a pretty thread in a flamewar, guys :/
Either way, does video recording works here?
And can I flash over Neo's ICS build or only over ICS?
I wish the OP was more informative...

So the OP says to first flash an ICS kernel.
Can I use the Vibrant ICS kernel here or do I use an i9000 one?

After installing this rom my phone will not reboot into recovery... is their a special way to get back into recovery?

Can anyone check if there mute/unmute issue present on this ROM ?

Anyone else have no service after flashing this?
