I discovered this Battery Mod Tool created by Shayne77 in the SGS II section and thought I would share it here. I can confirm that this works in CM9 on our Captivates.
Very nice automated tool that allows you to choose from a ton of Battery styles. This is great for me as the only "complaint" I've had about CM9 has been the lack of choices for this.
Obviously, this is not my work but I thought other Captivate users might find this useful.
Enjoy and don't forget to hit the thanks button please!

UPDATE: This works on the ports of DerTeufels CM10 ROM's!!!!
hHy thanks for this, i have a galaxy s2 and love using this tool. I was going to try to see if it would work for the captivate and had seen you made this thread. It works perfectly with ParanoidAndroid.
Can this mod work on HTC explorer..??

Anyone tried both ROMs, and can provide feedback?
Simple answer - i havent tried CM7, still in Beta.
I'm on overcome now, and I use cm7 on my galaxy s, never tried it on the tab.
But after using both on Samsung devices I would def go for cm7 on ANY device. The customisation options on cm7 are amazing!
I'm not great at this kind of thing and had trouble installing cm7 on my tab, I tried for ages but to no avail.
When it's made a bit easier for my little brain to manage I will try again. Let me know how you get on!

Just my take. I've been using overcome for a while now and love it. Never tried CM7 on the galaxy tab but I helped a friend flash his viewsonic gtab with CM7 yesterday. Here are the main differences from what I can tell.
1. Overcome is specifically deved for the galaxy tab and it works out of box. After you install it, it just works. Whereas CM7 seems to require some tweaking to get it to work. For instance. After installing CM7 on my friends gtab it no longer mounted the internal flash. I had to run a separate fstab script to fix it.
2. I dunno if it's because CM7 is still beta, but, it was buggy. The stock video program did not work at all. It looked like the stock music app with the artist, album, and etc buttons at the top. Which the video app should not have. Also it did not handle videos well.
With all that said I recommend Overcome because it just works. Especially for those who are new to the custom rom scene.

Found overcome easy to flash etc and its nite and day compared to stock gb. Only got into android in november so if u go by the experts guide to the letter u shouldnt go wrong.
havent tried a cm but the guys at overcome are working hard and improving the rom all the time so happy to go with what they provide.
look forward to the big surprise!
Im on cm7, the only thing its missing is video recording, other than that its perfect and stable, i probably wont go back to overcome.
themeing in cm7 is badass and theres so many themes out there, its fast and snappy and you have control over pretty much everything.
Sorry to butt in-What about DiP7 ROM?
Hi SGS users,
Yesterday I've got my SGS, 2nd hand, it works really amazing ^^ I came from a HTC Hero which is also an amazing device, but this is soooo much smoother & faster.
Now when I opend the forums, I saw a ****load of roms, with all different kind of number/letter combinations like JVQ & stuff like that.
Rightnow I'm running darky's 10.1 extreme rom, and I'm happy with it, but as I'm a flash junkie, I'd like to know some more good roms ^^
Also I'd like to know some good kernels, rightnow I have the kernel that came with darky's 10.1, but it seems this has no undervolt option, which I'd like to use to spare battery when the screen is turned off.
Let me make a quick 'list'
- Some good roms, please =)
- Some/A good kernel, please =)
- Maybe you know some cool stuff, like a awesome bootscreen, or some cool wallpapers/widgets everything is welcome ^^
I hope I don't act greedy, it's not meant this way, I just want to know what the community has to offer. =)
Btw. did anyone notice your phone talks to you when your phone is booting darky's rom for the first time?
That its probably voodoo installing, as for best rom, you will get as many answers as there are roms!

I have been on several versions of Darky's ROM for a while and loved the speed it brings to your phone. It also increased the functionality of the phone. I had some issues setting up Exchange email with that ROM so searched for a new one. In that quest I found the GingerReal ROM.
Currently I am on version 7.1 of GingerReal and can safely say it's the fastest and most stable version I have seen. You may want to give it a try.
The Battery life on GingerReal is the best I have seen and I have seen comments for a few others who second me on the good battery life.
Also, try ADW launcher.

I would go to the romkitchen.org and make your own, that way you get what YOU want, I found Darkys a good learner but yearned for more of me
I use damians kernel, not liked around here but works for me, if not then speedmod is good
Boot animations are touchy, they work on some roms or versions and not others, make a backup BEFORE you apply any changes
At the moment I am using a stock 2.3.3 ROM on my SGS.
I wanted to ask if custom ROMs bring anything special to the table.
I remember using Cyanogen on an old HTC Magic. I liked it but the GPS didn't work, the camera couldn't zoom and the alarm didn't work either.
Can someone recommend me a ROM with decent battery usage, a GPS that works and without too many bugs? Thanks in advance
I would like to ask the same thing.
I was using GingerReal since the last months but in i9000 the development has stopped so I am looking for a rom:
- Very stable (the most important things because I hate software crashes).
- Kernel customizable by the user (I prefer semaphore and dark core).
- With a good development and constant new versions.
Could anyone help me, recommending us a rom?

i've tried various roms incl goatrip,gingereal,simply honey,surface,darkky etc but i've found simply honey to be the smoothest in my experience..
and when it comes to kernel choose galaxian or talon both very good...
The last CM7.1 nightly #70 is very stable and have a really good power management.
ive heard wonderful things about simply honey, although i have never used it lol, I do however like the look of the new sgs2 rom (unsure of its name, its in development section) it looks really nice and reports of it being super fast and stable....
however... all that aside, I am a MIUI user, and i would HIGHLY recommend trying it, especially if you are willing to flash anyway, The features are incredible, the customisation is epic, and the speed and the overall look is plain awesome.
Battery life has dramatically improved, some users get 3 days on a single charge, everything works as it should, and GPS (for me) has never been better...
Before you decide, just have a look at the various MIUI threads, Look at some screenshots and some videos, read peoples comments, I have never looked elsewhere since i switched to MIUI 4+ months ago....
Hey all,
I am enjoying new life with my firesale TouchPad after installing the AOKP ICS rom. A huge thanks to everyone in this community who has contributed in any way.
I installed the new OnLive desktop app. It seems to work very well except for the fact that the app only fills out the bottom 2/3 of the screen. Top is just black bars. Any way that I can fix this that anyone is aware of?
Thanks in advance!
Wrong section.
Samsung Captivate CM9 - Glitch Kernel | HP TouchPad CM9 - Bricked Kernel
Does it really belong in General? It's specific to a non-official build, so I wasn't sure. Mods: Please move to Apps and Themes
Interesting... does Onlive Desktop work with the CM9 nightlies?
Works great for me. I also have been using Splashtop HD as well.

Dear all Developers,
I am using samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 phone.
I Have tried many roms which are there in developers forum list. like Cyanogenmod 7.2, S'Perience rom, SII and others.
Some how I compare this all with the original stock rom I feel the stock is better.
Please note following points which I like to use in phone.
1) It should be fast enough.I know the CPU 800mhz is less but i will like to use most of it with good battery life in my view I feel no change in stock & custom roms
2) Themes, I am getting new ICS Or JB themes in custom roms but that all I get with Holo launcher & ADW launcher without flashing custom roms in stock which for me is fine.
3) I missing Samsung All Share play in custom roms. I need that preferably as I am using my LED TV to view media from my phone over wifi very easily.
4) In some of the custom roms doesn't have Radio apps. I also need this as am using it often. It is there in S'Perience rom but it is very similar to one which is in stock so no need to change as I Feel.
5) Last as I am using my phone very much in terms of calling & messaging through out the day. for that I need very fast running dialer & messaging UI. I had seen the JB dialer which I don't like. S'Periance is looks good but lags in continuous use. Any better option will be appreciate.
I don't want to disappoint the devs as they are working very hard, gr8 & nice jobs. I only want my phone stable in terms of above mentioned requirement. As everybody like new things I also like the new JB or ICS updates but without compromising my requirement.
Giving Very Very Thanks to all who will reply and read my desires. And I will appreciate if anybody can suggest me the rom which fulfill my desire.
Once Again Thank You Very much.

Take a look at this ROM.
Almost double the benchmark of a stock ROM and reliable for daily use (on my gf's phone) with up to 3 days per battery charge.
Seems good one. But is this one has all share play apps? Or is there any other option for that if u know?
Thanks
