[Q] I can't find anything stable.

I have probably 90% of all the ROMS in the ROM Bible saved on my SD card/computer. I flash ROMS pretty much daily, because I really can't find anything stable enough to be a daily driver.
Whats the deal? I wipe caches, ext partition, everything between every flash. I feel like somethings wrong.
I usually run back to SuperE which is the most stable I've found, but I'm still yanking my battery out twice an hour.
I absolutely love my G1, but I hate how I have ALL this customization, you know?
When I can't even make a phone call, or text throughout the day, or my contacts aren't synced yet, it makes me pretty angry.
Help?

Hi, maybe a bit topic hijacking... but i was wondering.
You've mentioned you've tested 90% of all roms, the only version you can recommend is superE but this lacks some key features?
So ... does that meen default 1.6 would be best?

The only reason I like eclair ROMs better is because of the option to overclock to 576+ with their kernels.
If it were possible confused to OC to 576 I'd probably be using
CaNNoN202 Complete Eclairs ROM with that kernel.
But anyways.. maybe someone can help with my question?

Enomther has a great aosp 1.6 rom and i believe he is working on overclocking the kernel right now. U might keep up with that. Also has tethering and some extra vsapps u can grab with the rom. Good battery life and everything.

Done with Cognition, which other ROM shall I try?

Lately release schedule, quality and support of Cogntion went sour. I want to try some other ROM and wondering if somebody switched from Cognition to some other ROM and still had a good quality experience.
My wishlist is very simple really:
1. I want ROM to lilst "Russian" as supported language on handset.
2. Stable ROM
3. Good battery life (don't care about overclocking and stuff like that)

Wrong forum kiddo

This should be in Q&A btw . Not in development . No trolling intended .
Honestly , just try out all the ROMs out there . The best 2.2 ROM i've tried was FireFly , but atm , I'm on the MIUI port for the Captivate .

339 post and still posting on the wrong sub-forum? I hope you really mistaken this as the Q&A
but back on topic, I'm on Continuum v4 with speedmod, its pretty good.

You should try them all and see which one suits you. If you want Russian language support I would recommend going to i9000 section and checking out some of those roms too. Or you could flash a different CSC file (one with Russian) with Odin. I like this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Obviously, you'll have to do some heavy tweaking, but I find that starting with a good base and customizing yourself is the best way to go.

Im gonna go ahead and suggest either firefly or serendipity

For me, Continuum v4 un-themed has been the best. BUT your mileage may vary . I love the i9000 modem speeds.

without a doubt cyanogen mod 7. It is very stable in my opinion, battery life gets me well through the day..and it's just so fast... longest i've ever stayed on a single rom.

I have tried them all . I also like cog. But now i use firefly. You should give it a try u might like it.

Just like others, I suggest you try them.
As for personnal opinion, I like Team Phoenix's work (FireFly being my top) but there's also A3 that is extremly stable and very stock styled.
Also Seren by MM is something you might wanna take a look at.
Then again, just my personnal opinion and I think you should try many before choosing the one that suits you the best

Andromeda3 without a doubt

Yeah this does belong in q&a but im sure everyone is in a good mood rite now. But im sure a good gingerbread rom will drop in the next few days

Paragon has always been my favorite for the captivate, lots of themes and its always been stable for me..

Not development but if you're not falling into the 2.2.1 or cm7 crazes get andromeda. It is probably the best quality of any rom period.
Way better than cog ever was. Just swap the modem for kc1.
I also like the work from dagr8. He was an andromeda dev.
2.2.1 may benchmark faster than 2.2 but andromeda is the only captivate rom built from captivate (i9010 armani)sources that was developed by a team of devs. There was a lot of work put into it. And coming from cognition you are not loosing anything only gaining.

Dragon RC7 is also an awesome rom! I suggest Suckerpunch voodoo #12 with cfq scheduler if you go this route. I switch between the two every other day. Just can't decide which is better. Though I am bent toward andromeda.

Thread moved.

There are just too many ROMs, i897 + i9000, I cannot even possibly try them all

[Q] What is the fastest ROM?

Hi,
I want a really fast ROM that runs on gingerbread (2.3.3) - I don't care about the look or similar, I just need the speed. I hope someone can recommend me fast ROM.

CM7 or MIUI are very fast ROMs. I dont know if they are thee fastest, but i like the smoothness and responsiveness
However they are not completed, They are stable but still have a few minor bugs, as do lots of roms.
BUT there are many 2.3 Roms available in the development section so just do a little reading and see what tickles your fancy

Best to give them a try (for a week or so).
Many people's judgement at XDA is compromised because they run Quadrant, or they've hung around for so long that they get to know the developers and the popularity of certain ROM's. Even worse, very few people here have actually tested tested many roms in depth.
In fact, a ROM which may be faster for a certain game, may be slower for others, which is why you should give them a test yourself

MIUI doesn't run on Gingerbread, I have to go back to Froyo :/
And CM7 is experimental - no thanks.

It says I have to go back to Froyo. Also tried flashing it, and it couldn't find any networks, just says Error. Tried rebooting, wiping data, factory reset, flashing again - nothing.

you have to go back to froyo so you dont move to MIUI with the wrong bootloader.
MIUI is GingerBread 2.3.3 . it clearly states this in the first page.

So far I've tried Darkys, Juwe's and PilotX and Juwe's felt the fastest and I loved the battery life.

I don't think MIUI is fast, it got lots of UI enhancement anyway.

Miui And CM9 is a best roms and fastest

[Q] Camera Issues with Congition 4.3.1

Flashed Cognition 4.3.1 last Friday. Just took the family to the zoo today and made heavy use of the camera. numerous times the phone would Hard Lock and reboot itself while switching from Video mode to camera mode and vice versa. Anyone else have this issue? And if so, is there a tweek to fix? I tried the Cognition Q&A but got no replies.
Thanks.

Are you OC/UV?
Also, it could just be a bad flash. Try flashing over Cog and see if that fixes it.

What do you think the ROM-specific stickies are here for? Please use them and do NOT start a new thread. If no one replied it is probably because no one had an answer or experienced the same thing.

Appologies to all for posting a new thread here. Will revert back to the Cognition Q&A. XDA is Awesome even if some people are rude to noobs! (Miami_Son)

@ Miami_Son - Man you got told haha
Either way, just try clearing cache/dalvik and reflashing. I believe it should fix your problem

Thanks.! Quick question.... I see you are using the Firefly 3.0. Do you like that better than Cog? how is the GPS issues etc...? I had to flash plumbob 1.0 to get my GPS to work with Cog. I may scrap the whole Cog tryout and go the Firefly route. Not sure if the Moden is compatible though...UCKB1

If you go for FF, get a full flash FF 3.0 / speedmod k13e / jk4
It's your best bet for stability
As for the GPS, it's not really a ROM problem but a Samsung problem lol. I personaly use Adam's GPS Fix (you can find it in the theme and apps section I believe).
As for the ROM, it really comes to personal preference. I can't tell you "use this, it's better than this" as they all have their pros and cons but tbh FF is by far my favorite.
All I can suggest is that you give it a try and if you don't like it as much, feel free to revert back or even try other ROMs (beside 2.3 based one as they're all on beta state).
Also if you go for another ROM, know that you do NOT need to flash back to stock before switching. Simply clear your cache/dalvik and flash your new ROM through cwm.

Rude is thinking you deserve special attention and that you can just bypass the forum rules for your own gain.

Kudos to you Cyanogen!!

Cyanogen you've done what no one said could be done. i have a Motorola cliq and everyone said that it wouldn't even be able to sustain Froyo but, not only have you put Froyo on it you've put Gingerbread onto this terrible device erased Motoblur when you created CyanogenMod 7.1.0-Rc1 i love this Rom and i want to give a big thanks to my neighbor T-Macgnolia for teaching me how to flash different Roms and use Rom manager and clockwork mod and mainly for trading me the phone but i have seen alot of goodies youve added to the Rom other than just the deletion of motoblur such as a built in overclocking tool standard on most cyanogen mod Roms but still impressive prerooted also normal but the boost in speed you've put on this phone with that has a terrible processor is amazing its smoother and a lot faster than before with your Rom i could actually call it a decent Rom so thank you cyanogen for this amazing Rom
all readers who want this Rom look for it in Rom manager and if anyone finds any updated version in cyanogen forums or in Rom manger please notify me so i can download it thanks

Still no love for epic though no gps and camera.

post in cyanogenmod forum asking about it but im sure there working on it

I remember when I first installed CyanogenMod on my MyTouch 3G 32B :')

yea its amazing the difference in your phone exspecially when your like me and jump from stock eclair to cyanogenmod 7 gingerbread i never even got to expirement with froyo

This was in a development section?! And you wonder why it was moved, The development section is for Developing and discussion about developing and roms etc, Most of the threads on the site have something to do with development, it does not mean they should be in the development section if they have nothing useful to add, eg. That's like saying a screenshot thread should be in a dev section because it has people's ROM's in them, Not gonna happen.

my post is in off topc it got moved there from general according to a pm i got
