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.

Hi,
I own my galaxy for like 3 weeks now.
The first 2 weeks I was running stock 2.2.1, and had sudden reboots (it even entered into safe mod once I was sleeping and woke up from the sound the phone was doing), force closes.
So I decided and installed deodexed stock rom with speedmod kernel (+lagfix and recommended tweaks), and I feel that my phone is still bad. Angry birds keeps freezing the phone, wifi errors, and I can't run my phone more than 50hrs of uptime, it either will randomly reboot or as it happens today simply turns it self off and wont let me to turn in on (or getting into recovery/download mode).
When this phone was out everybody said its awesome (fast, stable etc) and I waited for prices to get down, now when I finally got it I think that I made a mistake.
Is anybody else frustrated with their phone? Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I should I hope that samsungs gingerbread will fix this? Or
maybe I should try custom rom like Darky or CM7?
Maybe all smartphones sucks and I dont know it because I never had a smartphone before?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
is it a new or used one mate ??????
i had it for 1 year now its the best
Its a new one of course.
Are you running any custom rom/kernel?
the beauty of SGS and Android is the continuous evolution of the ROMs you install...
I tried many different ROMs , and I am sure you would finally find something that will make you happy with the machine...
for a start, if you are on 2.2.1, get Darky 9.5 and you wont be disappointed.
Your phone is faulty. I had the device on stock froyo for 4 months after buying it and I never had random reboots or wifi issues.
Definitely take it back. I've modded mine so many times and still looks new to me. Had mine since January of this year.

@kauh1970 Thanks for the support!
@Furry Atom, very supportive, however I do start to think that something might be wrong with my phone. On other hand, that might be some application that causes the problems.
@alluliwi, Sorry my English is not that good, what do you mean by "take it back"?
Thanks!

By take it back, he meant to send the phone back for repairs or replacement under warranty to Samsung.
I have no problem with my phone, the only thing i dont like is the free ram available... seem low to me
@timelessfahad Thanks for clearing that up.
@vanvn297 You are running a stock 2.2.1 ROM?
Hi,
I recently updated via kies from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2 HVJP4.
So far I'm not impressed with the stock froyo rom. It's often sluggish and apps, especially email from exchange, crash reguarly.
I have not experienced any problems with wifi or 3g reception however.
I'm still trawling the forum, trying to find all the info and confidence to backup the current rom and try something different, but there's a good chance a stock gingerbread rom will appear before that happens. Hopefully it will address some of these problems. Fingers crossed

Gingerbread works fine
The issue with wifi is pretty known from what I looked (strange thing it never happened on the stock samsung rom only started to happen on deodexed stock with speedmod kernel).
The other thing my original rom was XXJPY and I flashed a deodexed XXJPY so maybe the rom it self is not that good. Gonna try XXJVH/XXJVB deodexed with Demian kernel probably, or will try Darky ROM (also considering CM7).
More replies about your satisfaction with galaxy s will be happily accepted!
Thanks.

in my opinion cm7 has gotten to the point that there is no reason not to install it... its litterally just a single zip now after you have rooted and put cwm on you're phone. the battery is fine, the photo/video is fine (although the samsung camera is way better... panoramic pics ftw) wifi/data is fine/ no need for lagfix/ and its constantly being updated..
edit: actually I think the battery might be better than what I was getting on darky 9.5...
i have been frustrated about my sgs for the first month until i discovered the rom world
usally the stock rom comes bloated with **** and uneeded stuff wich makes the phone slower and many other useless things...(i think)
i am still kind of new to all this and there is so much info do some reading and see how your sgs can be a beast
I too am not feeling the awesomeness of the Galaxy S. My friend got his one when it came out and its hard to believe this is the same phone I thought of as awesome all that time.
I got it new last week, and experiencing quirky behavior that really makes me feel like I'm using a low-mid class phone, and made me completely unenthusiastic/ not inclined with moving to the new phone which is how it should be. I even used my old Motorlla V8 for days after I got the SGS cos I was so unimpressed.
Poor camera, reception, crashes, dropouts, low wi fi signal, stutters, not responding to taps etc, really clunky loose volume button that makes it feel cheap, cheap sounding speaker. And I haven't installed anything on it except quadrant standard, and that crashes sometimes too.
To elborate a little. As far as comparable qualities go, compared to my Motorolla V8, The reception and voice quality is poor. Same network same simcard, I get half the signal, during a call it will sometimes dropout or make that guitar like noise, whereas my V8 never did any of that.
Even when I am next to a wi fi router. It doesn't show full wi-fi signal. Not even at my friends house. It reaches nowhere near as much as any laptop I have had.
I gotta compare these attributes to my friends sgs.
What I have compared so far is the camera, which is much worse on mine, You can see the thread here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081453
The AMOLED screen is also a lot dimmer, and cant display white as pure white but a grey/blue tint. Same settings max brightness.
For example quadrant standard, the spinning DNA like helix test. His background is pure snow white, mine is an off blue/grey dim white.
We also compared speakers, same song. His one has stronger clearer sounds, its quite noticable. All in all I'm wondering If I should replace my phone within the 14 day period.
I already took it back one about the camera issue to where I got it and the guy said its fine, so I would really have to go to Vodaphone or samsung directly to get a new one, which I did, and they said go to a repair centre. Even if they even have stock, it could be the same problems. And I would have to prove all these grey area problems.
Anyway check out my other thread as well and apply the Spectrum or Waveform Wallpaper. I wonder if its glitching here, but I think its most likely normal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086257
I will try upload a vid soon.
I am using my sgs now for 2 month, and i have to say its a great phone.
But its only great if you flash it.
In my opinion stock roms by Samsung are not fast enough,
full with useless apps and many tweaks like voodoo sound and gps fixes are missing.
(Tested 2 SGS from different providers, both roms not usable)
Try Darkys rom as also mentioned on page one.
There are many roms, and not all of them are bugfree and stable.
You have to remember the programmers arent payed for their work.
If you still have wifi problems uing darkys rom, your phone is damaged.
You probably need to start afresh.
Reflash a stock rom (ie. JPU which is a fill rom), then update to stock gingerbread. There shouldn't be many bugs at all.

I finally plucked up the courage to do exactly that.
I'm now running JVH with a CF rooted kernel and the phone is now performing close to what I hoped for.
Secondary boot loaders have also been fixed and I'll admit I held my breath during that flash.
Thanks to everyone here for providing the info I needed and making great roms.

Ive had mine since day 1 and its been amazing. No latency issues, wifi/data works perfectly, stable, no fc's(force closes), and the display is perfect. It seems they've gotten fairly "cheap" with the manufacturing of the newer, more recent models being shipped.
Love this phone... BUT, im still going to trade it in for an SGS2
(since my last thread has been deleted, I will ask again
EDIT: AND Cyanogen Mod 7 ROM DOES IT HAS BETTER CAPABILITIES??
I wanna know which rom has better capabilities simply honey or miui
(Capabilities=
which rom is faster(miui or SH) or they have +- the same speed?
which rom is stabler? or they are the same..
which rom has more and better features or they have the same?
this things..)
thanks for helping
NOTE- I have already read both SH's and MIUI's threads
NOTE- if you have nothing helpul to say to my question and you just wanna say negetive comments- do NOT NOT NOT answer!! its not the place for you
simple honey
its perfect
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
i would go to simply honey it's simpler and really good. im not on simply honey but looking at the specs of the rom it seems really good. however front camera doesnt work as it says on the ROM and you need to reflash another kernel!
another thing is they have took out apps that came in with SGS from the stock ROM some of it i find very useful. i think the speed of both ROM is quite the same ^_^.
thanks !! waiting for more people---and which rom offers more features? SH or miui?
(and I have SH 3.2 dont wanna update it to3.5 because there are problems with 3.5)
There are no problems at all with 3.5....you're getting crazy man....you're paranoic!
Try and judge!!!
Sent from my SGS with Simply 3.5 Revolution ROM
simone201--i've already tried..
there might be problems!! now I have simply honey 3.2 so I dont want to upgrade due to all the problems in 3.3 . (and as I said- 3.5might include some problems too)
p.s- why am I getting crazy ? lol? it seems you are..
waiting for more people and help please..
please help me guys.. need more comments
FFS.....
Do your parents still cut the crust off your sandwiches for you.
Just flash the rom and find out for yourself. If you don't like it... Move on to the next.
WOW.. what a noob 10 years old... next time use your parents in order to understand what I've written before posting a new comment!! (sorry for you..)

This is terrible, you cant compare those 2 roms.
And you said you've tested them both, so why not use that one that's better?
if its hard to understand, the word "them" means to simply honey 3.2 and 3.5 !!!
of course I can compare ONLY about the CAPABILITIES
(about how the room feels/looks/ beutiful or not-- all this things of course, I will decide by myself and im NOT asking for that)
NOTE- if you have nothing helpul to say to my question and you just wanna say negetive comments- do NOT NOT NOT answer!! its not the place for you
people please help me.. !
Dude, both are awesome. But you can not compare the two ROMs! Simply Honey is 2.3.3 based and MIUI is 2.3.4 based!
The difference in features are very minor, maybe a little here and there. But basically both are equally good ROMs. Try it out for yourself and see which one you like!
I'm currently running MIUI MCGv3 which is fantastic but it is not quite as complete as the stock custom roms like Juwe's or Simply Honey, two of the biggest let downs being the lack of an FM Radio and choppy MKV playback. But in saying that it is stunning visually and has a lot of cool unique features. I haven't used Simply Honey only Juwe's so this could be a little biased. All in all you'll have to try them out yourself, different rom's for different people and different needs.
vijaykanth--- thanks god that's what I want to know -- "The difference in features are very minor" omg thanks finally someone understands!! well I hope your right..
Shrapnel2--- thanks you very much!
still need more people and comments
**and what about the speed? the speed is preety much the same in both roms or one of them is way more faster?
(and look guys, all about how the rom looks and feels of course I will decide by myself.. im looking for the rom who has better features, and fast rom. so thats what im asking if the features, speed, stable and all this stuff are the same +- in both roms or not)

The main reason I moved to MIUI from Juwe's is that I was getting bored of the same old interface even with changing round png's in the framework and modifying bits and pieces- everything still looked bland to me. Speedwise I think that if you compared the two(Juwe's or Simply Honey on ext4) you would find them to be fairly close, I think lists tend to load faster on MIUI but it has been a while. Stability is fairly good but not 100% of the time, eg before settings Force closed on me, no biggie though as I had apps fc on Samsung GB roms too. Another thing to note is battery isn't the best on MIUI, you'll easily get a day under average use but don't expect three day marathons like some Samsung roms do. So good luck on picking!
each rom is better if the person likes it .I use miui but before that i used simply honey and it was good but i like miui better .It has lots of new features
I installed Simply Honey 3.5 the day it was released, I was previously using Darky's Rom v10 and I was very happy with the change. SH is visually beautiful, I installed Dark Core kernal after installing it to fix the bluetooth issues with CF-Root.
The front camera is still displayed sideways but thats no concern to me since I barely use it anyway. Love the new lockscreens, the market is a bit odd to look at but it doesn't bug me too much (if it does there's plenty of themes out there). After flashing the SGS2 email apk I was very pleased with my phone. It's been a lot more snappier than Darky's and haven't noticed any lag at all..
I'd take Simone's advice and install SH 3.5, you wont be dissapointed =)
Just try both for a full day - you can revert to your previous one anytime with a nandroid backup.
as far as I've understood -after restoring applications, the andorid market and applanet might not recognize them as 'installed applications'. then, I will not be able to update my restored applications
and thanks everyone!!! waiting for more comments..
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.

+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
Hello everyone, my first thread for this phone, used to be a Galaxy Ace user, now I have this great phone. As of now, I'm stuck at a branded fw (JVG OMN) because I'm a little afraid of losing warranty. It's weird because I used to flash my Ace like hell. Now I can't even help rooting SGS.
Anyway, I'll eventually come around at flashing some rom, there are so many of them. Hence I'd like some suggestions. My main concerns are:
1. Battery durability @ 3G (browsing the net 5hr per day at most)
2. In-call quality (no random reboots plz)
3. GPS reliability (no battery hog, if possible)
4. ICS (is it too early?)
I know you've all been asked for this before, but I'm not asking for miracles, I can understand the limits of undergoing development. I would like a sincere suggestion.
Try GB ROMS for now

With the conditions you have placed i dont think any ICS ROM can live up to that expectation GB ROMS.
Amestris ROM has the best battery life. I have never faced any issue with calls or GPS.
MIUI ROMS are superb option if u hate SAMSUNG touchwiz . They will give u iphone feel on android
If you too eager to test then try ICS ROMs. Battery life and performance wont be that good. But within months everything will fall in its place
ALL THE BEST ..
Thank you. I was expecting the fact that ICS still can't live up to my expectations, and I have no problem waiting for some perfect release. I was just wondering if that day will ever come, seen that many phones (some of which nowhere nearly as good as sgs) are getting smooth ics working. I put all my trust in our devs.
As for Amestris, I really do not dig themed interfaces. I prefer to get a rom as clean as possible and do my own theming when i feel ok about it. But probably it's just me.
I'm ok with touchwiz but I do like MIUI...I just can't understand whether it's been optimized for our device (i mean, everything works as good as in stock? or better?!).
I`ve been using the cm9 beta by pawitp(team hacksung cm9 beta) for months now and not had any of the issues that concern you and as of yesterday the i9000 is in the nightly builds of cyanogen mod 9 and this awsome ics rom will only get better....get rooting and flashing again , you know you want to!!!
I also place a lot of emphasis on stability, have been using the ICSSGS rom and haven't had any random reboots yet (2 weeks?)
I would like to know about latest CM9 nightly...is it worth it?
And also, some say that SlimICS is the best out here because "for the Galaxy S, the limiting factor in running ICS smoothly is none other than ram". Is this true?
I tried several custom ROM's amd at the moment I would say that the best, I mean the fastest and the most stable are ROM's made by BHuvan goyal. The latest INFINITUM with default kernel would be good for you. I've noticed that the battery life is not shorter than on gb so you would be really satisfied.
