Ok. I have a fresh Samsung Captivate (build 1008) that I just flashed to stock with ODIN.
I want to mess it up a little bit. I want it to do this. I want it to do that. "ohhh ahhhh"
You, people out there, give me some recommendations for cool/good/fast/best ROMs.
Give me good ones, I'm tired of seeing the same ROM with a different skin and interface over and over. I want something different, unique, a nice selection of apps (google talk would be nice )
Have a look in the dev section for your phone, not sure what is available for that model

Have you tried dragon 2.2.1? I did and it was a nice surprise to see how different the layout was.
thanks, i'll give it a look. uh..actually, i think i saw that one on the forums, but it didn't say what phone it was for. I just saw a link and it just kept going on and on about how great it was but didnt say what phone (like captivate, vibrant..idk if roms are universal)
If you know what you are doing cm7 is one of a kind

Fusion 1.3 best rom

Any ROMS that Adam makes are awesome cause they're stupid fast and snappy including Firefly which he previously worked on. Right now I'm using Ryude's Precision 3.5 with UC/UV and getting awesome battery life (about 28-30 hours single charge) as a moderate to heavy user without sacrificing speed and stability. If it wasn't for me tweaking out a few things and soft bricking my phone previously running SuperNova 2.3, I think I would have stuck with it for a LONG time but meh, trying new ROMs never hurts.

like "stupid fast"? Those ROMs sound amazing though.
these threads get locked so fast.
its up to your own opinion. I like serendipity, i always find myself coming back to it.
Now i know the sgs2 is supposed to be the best, but its also the most expensive. whereas the LG has a way better price point. so i was wondering a couple things; it would surely lead my to getting the Optimus.
anyway a couple questions;
1. is it true that there are models with 850/1900 3g bands? i've read around but nothing solid.
2. how hard is it to root? read it up on the dev threads and 1-click works fine?
3. when you use cyanogenmod, does it lag and FC like the stock firmware?
4. how's the camera quality using the 1080p 30fps mod? does it skip frames/double frames?
5. how is your battery life? please give 3g and screen on details.
sorry if these questions are really redundant and have been posted before, just getting to wits end as my N1 died and i can't decide this whole duel core debacle.
thanks to those who answer!

1.) No clue sorry :|
2.) One Clicks Work fine It's easy to root it with SuperOneClick for example
3) I wouldnt recomment CM7 roms, but rather Froyo optimized Modaco Roms.
I'm using the Fr17 Vanilla edition and all i can say is, its the most stable thing ive ever seen on a mobile phone. I didnt even have lag on stock either, it depends on how new your phone is.
4.) Working great, no skipping or smearing
5.) Fr 17 Vanilla Edition, Using stock baseband. Im using the phone on a daily basis, a few calls, lotsa Whatsapp, 10-15 sms a day, 2 hours of browsing when im on the train, my battery lasts 2 days. Pretty good if you ask me, especially considering its a dual core phone.
Dont expect a long battery life when playing Tegra 2 optimized HD games though, but thats self-explanatory

why would you say not to use CM7 roms?
thanks for the rest of the info!
In my opinion, CM7 builds arent really stable, just see the comments in the specific rom threads.
I don't want to badmouth all of them though, some people have issues with them, some dont. I can only speak for myself and im more than happy with modaco roms
For me is a lot more stable de CyanogenMod rc7.1.0 then the stock LG roms ... with officila rom, I got randoms reboots and freexes almost daily and now with the cyanogen, since the 27 that is was published i haven't had a single reboot or freeze!!! ... also the phone is faster.
According to my box it says WCDMA 900/1900/2100 GSM 850/900/1800/1900
So 1 is a yes? Or is there some way i can check?

THANKS IN ADVANCE
There is a confusing model of Optimus 2X, that supports the frequencies you want.
It's still an Optimus 2X, but it is apparently a P990h, not a P990, so be careful what you flash on it.
Also, CM7 is brilliant compared to stock.

How to port GB
Does anyone know the steps to make the O3D leaked GB rom work for the Thrill? If there are any experienced devs out there, that maybe dont have the thrill to work with anymore (bc most switched to the SGS2), could give me a walkthrough or an idea of where to start that would be great! I have a machine running ubuntu, an 06 macbook pro w/ OS X Snow Leopard, and an hp running W7 and the Dev release of W8 (dual boot). I have never cooked any ROM before so i dont know what exactly i would need but i am sure i can find that info somewhere on XDA... but, the more detailed any help or ideas, the better!

It's running...
First backup/write down your apn & mms settings, there are lots of info here on the forums to do this, or an app like this: http://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/apn-backup-restore.
Do a full nandroid backup to your sd card to be safe.
Follow the instructions on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331814 to get the o3d rom running on the thrill, it's a fairly long process, but not too bad.
Replace your APN and MMS settings, 4g disabled, everything else is mostly working it seems, though my wifi is a bit wonky so far.
OOOOR
Wait for a dev to build a solid custom rom!
Good luck!
Do you guys think this'll resolve wifi reception issues? I've been tolerating this crappy phone for awhile thinking GB will solve the battery issues but in the past few weeks I've been doing some business travel to Boston, Dallas and LA the GPS has been completely inadequate on all three trips. It would take up to 20 minutes to get initial GPS signal and then even when it does have GPS it would go in and out of GPS reception every minute or two. I'm so fed up with this thing. Yes, I read the 'GPS fix' thread and had already implemented the 'fix' but it's not any better.
I bought it at Costco, therefore, I'm thinking Atrix2 since the Galaxy S2 is a huge price diff. If I had the option, I'd trade it in for iPhone4S.
GPS has been working well on quite a few users phones, and I can personally attest to the the same. I also haven't had any battery issues with the phone at all. It might be a software issue or hardware, but you might want to try exchaning it for another to isolate it. For me, it has been a great phone so far, and I expect a great GB rom to only solidify this.
My wifi and gps work fantastic... you might have a dud... if its within your month swap it out... it sounds like 25% of these phones have bad bugs...
Seriously this is one of my favorite phones of all time... wouldnt say that if i had those troubles...

Its not looking good for the leaked gb running on Thrill. The rom itself will run but Apparently LG changed the baseband for gingerbread. You can install the o3d baseband and you will probablly be able to call/text. But you wont be able to use data. I NEED my data connection for sending emails out in the field so that's a big no-go for me.

Not dead, but calm. In actuality, though, there's been a jumpstart in posting the last couple days and a few have been promising to me. Additionally, GB is now scheduled to be released the 27th for the optimus 3d which should give the thrill a custom gb rom in days by that point. I'm days away from my trade deadline, but I'm staying pretty devoted to the phone I've decided I love. Now if only we could get a stock browser without this damn toolbar at the bottom...

I just picked mine up last Friday. I'm coming off an Atrix, and so far I'm not looking back.
The screen is fantastic, the phone is smooth, and it doesn't seem to have some of the issues the Attic suffers from.
It was between this and the Galaxy S II, and I wanted the HDMI. Also, the Thrill felt better.
Besides gimmick or not, the 3D is cool.

Thanks for the opinions. A family member of my has it and I've had the pleasure of using it. But I'm pretty much set on getting it.
Also, I was reading yesterday the ICS source code is released. Any devs interested in that?
EDIT: Honeycomb is available as well
I was going to say I don't know if I had an upgrade right now if it would be the phone I'd pick. I'd more than likely get a Note. But I've come to really like this phone and wouldn't trade it unless a Thrill with a 4.5 inch screen, 16 gig storage, and ICS came out.
Of course, then it'd still be a Thrill

Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
Hmmmm...I downloaded xScope pro when it was the Amazon free app of the day. But I have yet to use it as my browser. Guess it's time to give it a shot.
IMO, I wouldn't waste my time on the Thrill. I stuck it out for a while thinking that LG actually gave a crap about us, just to be let down. They have committed to a Gingerbread release on the 21st to the International version. No commitment at all to the Thrill other than maybe by the end of December or early January.
With the very slow development going on it, I decided I had enough and jumped to the SGS2 Skyrocket instead. Do I miss the 3D ability?.....Of course. But I gained LTE (when available in my area) and an 8MP camera instead with increased speed over the Thrill and a lot more dev potential (and is going on already).
I would have a hard time now recommending anyone to the Thrill that cares about overall speed and performance, let alone support from the manufacturer. If someone wants 3D and doesn't mind a luke warm device, then the Thrill may suit them fine.
Just my opinion. I had such high hopes for it when I bought it.

Seriously, some people forget it's a phone. Without fast development, it's still a damn good one for now, and with development, it'll be amazing in the future. How many MP my camera is, I couldn't care less. It's more about the size of the cmos sensor than the resolution, and the only phone I'll trade for when it's available, nexus of course, will have one nice 5mp cam. Samsung let me down for way too long with my craptivate, so I can wait a bit for GB again. As for the O3D version, that'll be close enough. Oh, by the time LTE reaches my house (and most), I'm sure I'll be eligable for another upgrade. Loving this phone, despite my few hates.

Ask yourself this question: Do I want ROM selection? The answer to the title of this thread is the opposite of your answer to that question.
If you don't flash ROMs, the Thrill is better than the Atrix or Atrix 2, its definately the best phone in the <$99 price range. But for a little more the GS II (i777 not skyrocket, the skyrocket will be only slightly less of a ghost town than here) is teasing you with so many ROM choices it will burn a hole in your SD card.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
The funny thing is Ive got all the bugs worked out of my Thrill. The thing has ZERO issues for me. I cant think of a single reason not to recommend the Thrill. I could care less about a selection of Roms. Most are just re-themes of the same..exact..thing. All I need is one solid rom and Im golden. That was the thing I LOVED about my Aria. For the longest time there were only 2-3 roms available for it but they were all rock solid and offered everything you could get out of a rom. We had ONE kernel available to us, but it worked flawlessly, so we didnt need anymore kernels. Move along to the Captivate and while I had 200,000 roms to choose from none of them felt finished, half of them were the same rom I had just flashed with a different battery icon, and they all had issues. Even CM7 for the Captivate never felt as solid as it did on my Aria. I never ended up being happy with my Captivate even though it was the "superior "phone to my Aria.
The Thrill is a solid phone. It had a lot of issues upon release and a LOT of people didnt stick around because of that. Gingerbread is here, and from what ive been hearing its already made the Thrill into even more of a beast and its only a pre-release leak (unfortunately I dont have a Windows machine so I cant flash the baseband to even try it ). And with the ICS source released we will have ICS fairly quickly. Gingerbread was a tough port due to ZERO Omap4 devices running it (it wasnt just the Thrill) so we had to try to start from scratch, but the first ICS device has almost the exact CPU (higher clockspeed and better imaging capabilities) and the GPU IS the same. That alone will kickstart development of ICS as we can port ICS rather than try to build it from scratch.
But enough of my ranting Im going to sleep!

hey guys, I was hoping to get some help from some thrill users. I'm hoping I can get a little honesty here, I am doing research for a buddy on the thrill. I have checked out specs, and spec wise seems like a nice device. I just wanted some insight on state of this device, whether its a good purchase or not, i have found some nice deals on this device bare in mind im buying full price so i want to have a device that will have a little bit of longevity. here are some things i hope you guys can share some insight on:
reliability of device, hardware/software
development does it look good will there be ICS i didnt notice ics roms
any alarming things to know about the device before buying
known issues
i ask all this because the G2x for tmobile seems to be a nightmare, hoping this is a better device thanks for any help you guys can provide
I'm pretty happy with my Thrill, but I was disappointed in how long it took to get GB out for it. I'm not sure if we will ever see ICS. The camera is excellent, battery life is ok (I bought a 3500mAh battery and have to charge up nightly). The 3D is kind of a gimmick, but it does work well.
I found that it's much snappier with a custom ROM. I'm currently using Lestatious AcidHazard from the dev forum here. Both ADW and GoLauncher are much better than the default "LG Home" launcher.
Overall, not bad for my first Android phone. I upgraded from an iPhone 3GS and will never look back at Apple, but for my next one I may consider Samsung or HTC just because there seems to be a much larger developer community for their offerings.
Ill give you only my opinion based on my experience with this device. Can't speak for anyone else but I'm sure there might be some very diverse opinions about this device.
I feel the Thrill is the underdog in the current Gen of high powered devices. Kinda like if you perchased a low cost car because the price and function fit your needs. Then you discover it had a turbine engine that simply needed to be switched on and calibrated properly. Would be cool and fun although very unlikely. However the Thrill is often referred to as a sleeper. The hardwear is all there but the stock Rom is restrictive. With some patience and proper modification the Thrill is an awesome phone that can outperform many high priced phones and then some.
In most cases from what I have seen many people find a baseband they like, and a rom that works with the baseband, a few tweeks and bam nirvana. Currently the most common issues that I'm aware of are Ghost calls, Bluetooth instability and minor app bugs. We don't have a huge Dev team but the devs we got are darn good and have flat out showed us all what the Thrill is supposed to be.
If you have loaded any roms or rooted a phone then you will be capable of tweaking the Thrill as you like in about 1 day at the most. Do some further research on it first before you dive in so you are fully aware of what your getting in to.
Hope that helps
Its fast as ****. Its nice to the eyes, it sounds good while making calls for me at least.
What else do you need?
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
coming from the HTC sensation the 3d agreed is fun to play with but a gimic super fast and honestly if the right tweeks were given then the phone would be right behind the sgs2 easily if not keep up the LG 3d Max launcher is what I'm using but it is slower easy fix by getting a launcher from the market I recommend Adw or go launcher the dev work is amazing but slow and the optimus 3d is the exact same phone and is on the official list to receive ics according to popular results on Google but looking at things it'll be years end before we see official ics custom ROM will show up first and more than likely soon since the drop for LG phones supposedly is second and 3rd quarter once agin popular Google results reviled this for me over all I do not regret the switch and believe this phone Will peak at ics but will stay alive for probably another year to a year 1/2 stability is decent but be sure to update to gingerbread as the phone really seems to shine afterwards

I actually love this phone. It is really fast and the battery life is decent. The camera takes awesome pics and videos. About a month ago I was almost fed up with the phone and the dev on it but after flashing the Mokee ROM I fell in love with the Thrill all over again. If I had to choose a phone right I would pry choose the Note over this but then again most people would.

I'm pretty happy with my Thrill, but I was disappointed in how long it took to get GB out for it. I'm not sure if we will ever see ICS. The camera is excellent, battery life is ok (I bought a 3500mAh battery and have to charge up nightly). The 3D is kind of a gimmick, but it does work well.
I found that it's much snappier with a custom ROM. I'm currently using Lestatious AcidHazard from the dev forum here. Both ADW and GoLauncher are much better than the default "LG Home" launcher.
Overall, not bad for my first Android phone. I upgraded from an iPhone 3GS and will never look back at Apple, but for my next one I may consider Samsung or HTC just because there seems to be a much larger developer community for their offerings.

Pretty much the same situation for me. Also upgraded from a 3GS and I think this phone is awesome and a great first android for me. For the most stability on gingerbread, in my opinion, would be v21e. I flashed the promethius rom and kernel on top of it and my thrill is amazing.
