Yep just as the thread title asks: Is OpenZio still the only custom rom available to us Zio users? Is there hopes of anything else coming out? Maybe even a OpenZio update?
seems to be for now... search the rest of this forum for a few topics of other roms to be ported

I just rooted my captivate yesterday and flashed the latest rom from Cognition. I was looking a post or forum where we can discuess the rom and its features/benefits but i couldnt find one. Hopefully someone can guide to me the right place or we maybe able to start it here. I had some general questions about the rom about apps to sd, tethering, kernels, overclocking, etc. if anyone has some knowledge about these tweaks or has any helpful hints/tips, please share it here. My first android phone was the g1 which i rooted and flashed cyanogenmod and it was much easier back then. although, rooting the captivate wasnt hard, there seems to be much more options/tweaks that can be applied and the methods of applying them vary based on how you rooted the phone and what rom you use. it just seems much more complicted. i used the one click root, un-root method by tga-gunnman and then flashed the lastest congniton rom. but there seems to be another root method by odin. can someone please tell me what i can and cannot do and what would you recommend i do next. thanks in advance, joe
So you got the latest Cognition ROM from [ROM]Cognition v2.2 BETA9.1.3 (Voodoo - CogKernel - Bootanimation) *10/29/2010* but you can't find a thread to discuss it?

LOL!!! The thread only has 7209 posts atm, and a large number of posts were deleted at one point.
All discussions about roms are done in the their threads.
I deem this thread closed
I am fairly new to this and there are alot of custom roms out there. I used ODIN to update to eclair to Froyo JK3. I see alot of custom roms out there for JPU and JP8 but I dont see any for JK3.
Are there any good custom roms for us Canadians with Froyo ?
I have enough knowledge to be dangerous but only know what I have read on this forum. if I want to do something to the phone I read and read and read some more then try the task. However on this topic I am coming up blank. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx
Hello dear forum. I currently have a JHJP2 ROM and I'm considering upgrading. I read that Darky's ROM is recommended, but then I found the stock ROM post.
Which is better? what are the pros and cons of each one?
Thank you,
Boaz.

Without going into much detail, I think (actually, I'm sure) you'll be happier with the custom ROM--if you do your reading.
Moved to Q&A.
With the stock rom, you have support from samsung with updates and with custom, you dont get updates and are screwed if you get bricked. That is why I stay stock on my epic (no froyo )

What happened to this forum's support :roll: I'm sure most of the people who assist here know way more about the device (software and hardware) than the reps on the phone who pretend to know what they're doing.
I did a search per the forum rules prior to his post. So, I apologize in advance if this is a repeated post. Q: Where can I find the latest custom rom for captivate? I recently upgraded to the official Froyo 2.2 via Kies Mini and I am very disappointed with the outcome. I never knew what I had until I jump ship. If someone can steer me in the right direction, your time and consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
If by latest you mean Android version wise. Alot of the ROMs use 2.2.1 (paragon, serendipity, etc.) Most the ROM pages tell you what version they are running and what its based off of. If you want something that's based off Captivate 2.2 then your going to have to use Cog 4.1. Just need to look.
"best" is so subjective...
It depends on user preference.
There are many good, stable ROMs available for this device. Your task is to try them out and find out which is "best" for you.

You can find the ROM's in the Captivate Android Development section. As far as which one is best? Well that is a question only you can answer. Each ROM/Kernel/Modem could work a little bit differently on your device than it will on mine or anyone else's. So as to which one's best? Flash it, run it for a while, if it isn't to your liking; try another. That is how most of us find one that we love.
If you haven't flashed a custom before, do a lot of research. Know what you are doing before you jump in. If you run into any problems you'll have an idea how to fix it. Read the threads(It can be a bit overwhelming) MOST of your answers will be there. Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Good Luck and have fun.
By the way; did anyone tell you it's completely addicting?
'Best ROM'
I found that the 'Best' ROM is usually the one I'm currently on. Which has been, in no particular order: Cognition 2bx, Cognition 4, Perception 10.4 and Paragon 5.1. Each one is a bit different and takes time to play with them to understand exactly what is different.
Main thing is to educate yourself, so you can support yourself if things go haywire.
Have fun!
My favorite so far has been Cognition 3.04 but I about to try 4.1 with Launcher Pro. The Cognitions I have tried are really stable and not too much fancy stuff.
Have decided to go with Cognition 4.1 rom, correct me if I am wrong. I read somewhere that one would need Cognition 4.0 first and update to 4.1. If this is the case, can someone drop the link. Thanks.
In my own opinion I would say Serendipity or Firefly...but then again its a personal preference.
As stated in Replies there is no best rom just a best for you rom. Try them and find the one you like best.
Any new roms coming out yet other than whats listed on the development forum? Ive tried them all from 2.1 to 2.3.4.
Be patient,,,they'll get here when they get here.....Or you could try cooking one yourself. Who knows might become the next Cm7....
