[Q] What's your favorite ROM ?

First off a Big Thank You to all the people who put the work in to make these roms happen.
I was just looking thru the dev section and was just curious:
Which rom(s) you favor?
Which rom(s) are you using as your daily driver?

Cog for me. I am a noob and it is easy to flash and much better then stock
Captivate
Cog 2.4

Cognation here... so awsome.

Pretty sure cyanogenmod is still in early beta testing, so it's definitely not a rom for everyday usage.. maybe check back in a few months or so?

Cm did release a beta for their v6 but have now stopped working on it. They have turned their attention towards getting gingerbread on our phone. I think cm7.

Galaxy S2 Rom on Captivate?

Hi there,
What is the best rom I can use that will make my captivate phone look like a galaxy s2 ?
Is there some kind of port rom or custom rom?
Thanks.

There are all sorts of custom ROMs and many of them are themed at least a little. I would poke around the forums, both in the stickies above in this forum and in the developers's one, look at screen shots (usually in the first post of the thread), and find one that suits your fancy.

Any particular suggestions?

If you want to run an sgs2 rom itself, there's an sgs2 port for the i9000. It's called hawkish. To run it, all you need is to flash a reoriented kernel (talon, dark core, xcal, etc.) and edit the key layout. I made a thread a while back if you're interested.

Hawkish already has its own captivate thread, but it hasn't been updated in forever...

Yeah that's why I'm saying just do my method

Thanks! Any other suggestions for roms that are for captivate itself?

AOKP

I wonder how hard it would be to port the AOKP to the captivate. I got a chance to play with it on the facinate and it was very nice with a ton of customization.
I see it is already on the i9000. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I read somewhere that any i9000 rom could be used on the crappy you just had to replace the kernel. I could be wrong anybody?

Isn't one already out there? I didn't replace the kernel until recently, I would suggest not to change the kernel. Had better battery life until i recently changed the kernel.

AOKP Rom
I've been running that ROM for a few days and I love it. It still seems so great to be able to run Ice Cream Sandwich on my Capitivate!

There is an official vibrant build here:

To use on cappy you can follow vibranturk's guide here and it will work wonders:

Using this method, I'm running latest vibrantmtd with Icy Glitch on my cappy and it's great.

[Q] Overclocking kernel

Is there a kernel that is able to overclock my cpu, that is safe to flash on my Serendipity 7 flashed Captivate? I searched all around the forum, but I could not find a direct answer. I want to be 100% sure which one is safe to flash, before I just go and flash one that I think is okay, then ends up bricking my phone. Can anyone help me please? It would be much appreciated.

A kernel flash will only give you a soft brick if it messes up. I would assume it works with a kernel appropriate for that version of Android

Oh okay cool. I do have a user jig handy, so a soft brick wouldn't be a big deal. So it doesn't matter what one I flash? Or just keep flashing different ones until I find one that works? Lol.

Assuming Serendipity 7 is GB
Flash Corn Kernel 6 and KK4 modem.
Or another combination - see Apex ROM site for kernels/modems.

Thank you! I'll look into that soon.
