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.
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.

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!!

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?

Hi All,
Need some advice about the Galaxy S. I am a Nexus S user and would love to get my Girlfriends Galaxy S running better if not as well as my Nexus S. I have tried to get the galaxy S running well but now I think I have done all I can to optimise the stock ROM it has onboard!
I know that for the SGS you must use Odin to flash new ROMs – any warnings to me being a NS user with our easy CWM flashing? I will of course be doing a Nandroid backup of her current ROM in case things go wrong Currently the SGS is rooted and running a branded O2 2.2 Froyo Rom. I have Lag Fixed it using OCLF (Not great I know, but its not my phone I can't always fiddle with it to update it!) and tried to remove bloat using Titanium Backup.
The advice I would love is – which ROM do I put on her phone, when she isn’t the most tech savvy person. I figure there are 3 main options (but feel free to correct me!) for a stable and quick ROM that I won’t have to keep touching and updating or fixing:
Stock 2.3.4 (JVP?)
Nice because it’s stock and from what I’ve read it seems to run fast and is the latest version of phone android like on my Nexus
Darkys ROM
Seems to be a nice option – fast stable and tweaked (a fixed version of stock really no?), but perhaps it has too many options for my non tech savvy GF to be using?
Cyanogen Mod
Only reason I resist this is because it is probably too much of a shift away from the Samsung experience my partner is used to - I would prefer it (I have a nexus so naturally!) but I doubt my girlfriend would appreciate the change. Also it seem CM isn't quite ready for the SGS yet...
Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated! I have searched a lot about the SGS, but not having the phone myself, I figure it might be best to ask users of their opinions and steal your advice!
As this one is for your girlfriend and you are planing already with a "stock" ROM you should for sure go for the latest 2.3.4 Android Version in JVP.
I personally would never go for a "stock" but this is just my personal opinion since I am daily with the phone and can repair things by my own.
Related to ODIN there is not much to say if you read all the guides completely.
I flashed my phone many, many times even using seperat kernels and removing thing before, adding and changing scripts without brick the phone.
Try to safe the EFS dircetory is the only thing I would recommend if it is not mentioned in the guides before doing a flash.
Hope it helps for your decision.
i suggest u use darkky's rom in that case cause the battery alone lasts longer than stock that means more time spent talking to u..
I suggest you leave her phone alone
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I would use one of ramads stock deodexed roms, and then flash a custom kernel, that way she gets no lag, stock, you are safe and your love life will thrive! Now that is slick womanizing!
Insanity cm 016/glitchv10c
after couple testing different ROM .... i am very pleased with Juwe's ROM ..... stable , all works fine , fantastic look ....
Darky's ROM is not a 'fixed' version of stock.
Just go with the latest stock firmware for the best performance, ie flash XXJVQ with Odin after backing up all data

I totally agree with this idea
Whack on JVQ deodexed and voodoo mod. Convert to Ext4 and then life = complete. Cyanogenmod is still best though
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Thanks for your suggestions!
Thanks to you all for your help! I think I am going to go for a stock 2.3 based rom either JVP or JVQ - probably JVQ as google talk video works with it, and now skype video works too - both of which she wants.
@solar666
Thanks I'll definitely be following the guides to the letter - and yeah an EFS backup is also on my to-do list!
@doomsdaycs
Battery Life is very much important, but having seen some youtube videos of Darky's rom, I think the interface & option changes & colours might be too much of a shift - I'd prefer it though!
@acejacksooted & @carvax
Id love to leave it alone, but she complains that it isn't responsive like my nexus and lags sometimes - so I don't have much choice but to deal with it!
@slaphead20
Is there much of an advantage to a deodexed samsung rom? Also, I hope you don't use your phone to chat up all women that way
@bisko69
Is Juwe's rom that different from samsung's roms?
@Mothatt
Yeah I think that's the way I will go - safe!
@jaju123
Again, seems like the best option at the moment. Thanks!
Any other thoughts are more than welcome! Thanks again .
All custom-ROMs except CM7 and MIUI are based on Samsung-stock-ROMs.
ROM-cookers of Samsung-based ROMs add some features and change the colors of the UI. So you should take the custom-ROM which has the nicest colors.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
i recommend MIuI GALNET its awesome
Darkys rom!
I've used many roms, but I always flash Darky v10.1 back.
Ist just so goood, battery life is amazing and still the phone is so simple.
Seeing that your GF rom is still in Froyo, isnt it better to upgrade it to at least stock Gingerbread?
Perhaps you can flash a stock deodexed rom, flash a kernel for root and CWM (i recommend SpeedMod), then flash a theme from the theme forums that you think she will like.
maybe you can even make a theme for her based on what she likes
conclusion: Stock rom with custom theme, if she like to stay on stock samsung experience and a nicer UI

Haha I'm sure many people on this site would be more than happy to upgrade their girlfriends ROM to CM7 - more customisation and more options haha!
I recommend darky rom 10.1 and launcher 7 -> fast, stable and... More than easy to handle

i think you should try ParanoidAndroid (been using it from the day it came out, love it and only a couple of very little bugs).
Another one is Asylum ICS. I haven't tried it but people say its very very good. Give them a shot and see what works for you.
Stock, like always, is crap.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Okay!
what about the battery life ?
i noticed that deep sleep doesn't work in my note.
is it jst with me or is it a firmware problem?
The current "stock" ics roms by Samsung are having kernels with the "brick bug" which are therefore unsafe.The best option is to use the 4.0 Roms which are based on CM9,franco kernels like Paranoid Android,MIUI,Asylum ICS and a few others.For more info read the warning posted by the mods in the development section.
Battery life is good in most of the rooms....as they are using the same base...and kernel is left to you to decide which you want...goku kernel is good right now...
thanks guys!
used ParanoidAndroid!
loved it, but didn't satisfy my needs, i bought NOTE and man it doesn't have any Note apps
so im gonna flash KingDroid in a while, any comments abt that?
p.s. anybody knows where i can get the samsung apps like

I would suggest the new version of liquid smooth...2.3....and the Samsung apps can be found in themes section...or in the rom itself sometimes the dev puts it as a addon
can somebody please provide me with
SnsAccountFb.apk
SocialHub.apk
SnsAccountTw.apk
and the socialhub widget
im using KingDroid's Rom! [ICS] v2.0
i couldn't make them work on my SGN! FC's everytime!
hello all. i am gajen_b. recent got an optimus black. my friend did everything like routing and clock work installing and showed me how to instal a rom in recovery.
i want the best look but stock rom because i use the camera and video very much. there are too many rom in forum. cannot decide. also i dont know which rom is stock and which not.please suggest.
i dont want extra function like more ghz speed or anyhting like that. i just want a flawless rom but good look. i like cici rom there but saw it is not stock lg based.please suggest me a rom and also the link. this is my first post and i tried to find beautiful rom thread but only best rom was there which is not what i want. please answer me.
The best rom for Camera/video will be a stock based rom.
The best looking rom would be a CM7/CM9 based rom.
For speed etc, both can handle it.
CM7 based roms have really poor camera quality.
So I would suggest Zeus, for tweaks, like OC etc.
Or Marvel v9 for fewer tweaks than Zeus but a more appealing UI.
i tried instal the Marvel9 but it does not install normal. it goes into some aroma manager. i am very new and dont know that all to fear death of my phone. then i saw superpressed rom. installed it. really liking it than the stock rom. the man making it is very good. i pressed the thanks button there.

I'm using Boype's with holo launcher and i really like my phone look atm
Look into my noob how to, I recently updated on the ROM part. This should give you quite a bit of an overview
