Hey, i don't want to compare Roms. But o
I'm looking for a bit of guidance oto choose The Best Rom for my device, thua giving me Best performance, best battery life, and minimal bugs.
I'd like to hear all user experience.
(I have slow internet, with limited bandwith; i can't download all Roms and try them, hope you understand, thank you)

There is no best ROM or kernel- if there was a best ROM, then there would only be one ROM. Someones best ROM may not be the best for you...
These threads are against the rules and will probably be closed shortly...

..... but you want us to take all the time to test them and then give you all the answers?
Regardless, there isn't a best ROM or Kernel and as has already been said these threads are against the rules.
Just try them for yourself, there won't be an easier way. It's what this website is all about

Best Rom for HD? No such thing bro as it ultimately comes down to personal preference.
Stable Rom? Here are a few names of chefs that I've found to be very stable... Energy, Miri, PhamQuang, and XannyTech.
As per above post. Try a few and make your own opinion as everyone's is different. This is why questions like yours are frowned upon in XDA....they create endless long threads due to everyone having a different opinion
Thread closed
hey folks,
Looking at flashing my first rom, still deciding between serendipity, miui and CM7. In terms of stability, which one is currently the best? I know many are a matter of opinion. The one thing I cannot piece together is the talk of kernals and modems. Do you need to install these if you flash a custom rom? Do they come with the rom install?
This should be posted on the Q&A section.
Mod, please move.

I'm on Serendipity 7 right now and love it its extremely stable for what I use the phone for.
As for kernels and modems they usually come with the rom they are flashed when the rom is. The modem controls all of the radio aspects of the phone while the kernels runs various functions of the phone.
But questions like this should be in Q&A for future reference.

Few things:
- There is no "best" anything on XDA, it's all opinion, and both members and MODs tend to frown upon "what's the best XXXX" type threads
- This question should have been posted in "Q&A" not development
- It sounds like you need to READ quite a bit more before you try to go about flashing anything. If you're asking questions like "what is a kernel or modem?" you probably aren't qualified to start flashing yet. It's dangerous, and can turn your phone into an expensive coaster.
Welcome to XDA!
not worried about bricking as I've worked on a number of devices outside of android. Just looking for some quick answers. Didn't need three flames...
Your quick answers are already answered. The flames are not flames but someone frustrated by someone asking the same question that's been answered so many times its unreal. Seeing as how there is a thread conviently named how to flash a ROM over in the Q&A section the "flames" are warrented. If you want my opinion the best way to learn something is by just doing it. Read, read, and read some more. Honestly, you're lucky that the "flames" were as nice as the were.
This thread is probably about to be closed...
Please don't ask these sort of questions in the Dev section. People will get angry and they will tell you. This isn't about development at all so it has no need to be in this forum. To sort of answer your question, IN MY OPINION Samsung based ROMs will provide more stability than CM7/MIUI.

Who the F/H*** Told you the thing about BEST ROM!!!
Its depend on you which will suit and best for you..You Have to decide yourself..and also its own personal choice..
So all the devs effords behind the making roms are best here..then all of them are best for us (Rom as well as dev)..
Now you are the STUPiD Who Understand Me Wrong..
I agree with Kranti, i tried many roms, but every time i go back for SGSII v9 ... no matter this rom is slow/fast or whatever, but suits me most

Then say it like that idiot.
You're te one who said "no BEST rom yet. This indicates that you mean the best rom of all roms.
If you want me to understand you the right way, make sure you describe what you you are trying to say correctly.

Thread closed - there is no best ROM, its subjective to what works best for you.
Hey Guys...
First of all - I am Amazed by the level of this forum... Its truly great...
I am Very new to XDA. I Still managed to figure out essential things for my captivate.
I spent straight 8 to 10hrs [Approx a Month ago] reading and searching variety of threads, links and videos and got the Idea about rooting, Custom ROM, Flashing etc...
[I must Repeat - "Just Idea", Because having no real background and knowledge about anything related to these things... I obviously feel like Still Missing a lot of basic terms]...
Anyways - Point for explaining all that is to Make my 'Beginner' Level clear... B'coz Members here called as beginners are also quite good with all these basic terms...
I am using 'LANIGHT' ROM right now...
Now the problem is... There are still some bugs in this version... [Camera, SMS, etc]
So the question is:
1. The Best, latest and most stable version of ROM out there - which would be great for beginners like us? [We can have this thread for the updates of such ROM time to time] - For Us - This part seems very difficult to figure out...
2. Also the process of installing that ROM...
3. And if there is a quick way to figure out the 1st question in forum... Except spending hours just reading the threads... Very very difficult work... [Hats of to you guys...]
Thanks in advance...

1. This question can't be answered. For many reasons but mainly because the Best ROM for you, that feels in your needs and such won't be the same as let's say, the best ROM for me. The best you can do if look at the features list and go through the last few pages of the ROM to know about the bugs/issues. There isn't a perfect ROM, just gotta find the one that suits you the best.
2. Follow the ROM's instructions in the OP (Don't forget the Gapps)
3. Refer to #1. Also, for respect for the Devs and to avoid flaming, threads like these often get closed.
Hey, we all start somewhere
Welcome and BWolf gave you some very sound advice. I've been flashing new ROMs pretty much on a daily basis this week to find the ROM that suits me the best. Enjoy flashing and playing around with different ROMs. The nice thing about this phone is that pretty much there are ways to revive it if something "happens."

Dude hats off to you. Very correct. Even I flash ROMs almost daily. The worst thing ever happened to me was a boot loop and a home made jig saved me. Now I have a confidence that nothing can stop my phone. :thumbup:

Choosing a rom is a hit and trial method. Just go to captivate android development forum and choose any rom which looks good download it and flash it using recovery. Most common thing is clockwork mod recovery to install any ROM. keep flashing different roms until you find the one that suits you. Happy flashing. :thumbup:

I used to hold off buying a jig... until I truly needed one. Thanks to one click odin and heimdall, if anything happens, then you're always good to flash back to stock and try again
I highly recommend a jig as it can save you from a LOT of headache.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20710788&postcount=6
You can buy one or build it yourself. It's a great investment and insurance plan
Feel free to flash whatever Captivate ROM you like, just pay attention to the flashing procedures in each thread (as Bwolf said).

Beginners like you? IMHO, there are lots of different beginners and you haven't shared enough for me to know what kind of beginner you are.
By recent and best, do you mean that you just want a stock ROM, perhaps rooted, but otherwise pretty much the same as the last stock release, Gingerbread KK4? It is 'recent' - because it is the latest and final official release, more recent than earlier releases.
Or do you want a ROM that is unofficial, won't be supported by your carrier or by Samsung, but that runs Jelly Bean 4.2 with an occasional bug or broken feature?
Beginner is relative to the field in question, yes? An Olympic gold medal swimming winner in his first year in medical school is a beginner at surgery,
Do you excel at really carefully reading and understanding all instructions before you start on a task?
So, if you are starting as a complete newbie, maybe go for KK4 Gingerbread and add the Corn Kernel. Get stable with that. Get comfortable making nandroid backups, and using root browsers to back up efs and other folders. get comfortable moving the files to your pc, to the external sd card, etc.
After getting all the stuff backed up with good knowledge about how to restore it all, then go flash a stable 4.1 or 4.2 jelly bean rom. you will need to flash twice. oh, and get gapps, too.
does this all sound like jibberish? read the sticky threads, read the glossaries, etc,.
If you're looking for a ROM with a lot of UI and benchmark improvements, Captivating by Sephi looks great, although I haven't tried it myself. No one here really wants to pick 1 specific ROM, because everyone is different and don't want to be rude to the dev's .
Flashing ROMs on the Captivate is fairly simple, and as others have stated if you have a jig (if you don't want to buy one pre-made, you can make your own w/o soldering, there's a guide in this forum for it), you can just play around with different ROMs and can almost always fix the phone if anything bad should happen.
Just browse XDA until you find one that you think you may like, read the reviews, and try it out for yourself
I recommended Captivating ROM by she phi.. U will not disappointed
