If you want maximum battery life, minimum performance, best stability but less features, stay on gingerbread. If you want balance between battery life and performance, great stability and a few more features, upgrade to ics. And if you want average performance, high number of tw features, but really low stability and average battery upgrade to jelly bean 4.1.2

I'm not finished yet.
Now is for aosp/cm roms. If you want better performance than jb 4.1.2 and the most number of features but low stability and even lower battery life, upgrade to jb 4.2.2 (root box, carbon, slimbean, cm etc).
Now if you want something that is the latest, the newest, the highest optimized performance but is experimental and has the lowest in stability and battery life and highest number of bugs then try cyanogemod 4.3 experimental build (4.3 discussion in general section but locked ROM thread in original development section)

So as you can see as the android version number goes up, it becomes more and more worst in battery life. (BTW questions should go in q&a section and please hit thanks if I've helped you) and I'm actually telling you everything based on my experiences. If different ROM with different android versions

I see, well maybe later i will upgrade to ics at least, thanks.
ics is the worst update so far...... even éclair and froyo were better than ics... so either you stay with gb or upgrade to jb..
Well i just plugged my phone onto my pc and it updated it to ics, as far as i tested it, its better than gingerbread, but well i need to test it farther.Thanks for all your suggestions.

So as far as i read, that brickbug only happens with custom ics roms and with specific kernels, i got my update officially from kies so i dont know if this bug still applies to me.And if it applies why does my phone updated successfully ?, im using it at the moment and everything is ok.Which kind of information do you need in order to tell me if this bug exists on my device?.
My updated android version is now 4.0.4
->Base band N7000UBLR1
->Kernel version 3.0.15-N7000UBLR3-CL890184 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT fri jul 13 20:10:47 KST 2012
->Compilation number IMM76.UBLR3 .
Edit: Regarding that "safe kernel" that i apparently must flash since im on ics, i looked up the thread of that safe kernel but i dont know where to look for my specific kernel code, any help here would be usefull.
Edit 2: After looking for my code apparently is UBLR3 and there isnt any safe kernel for that version ?.

Read more and you'll see the brickbug is present on any device with an unsafe emmc chip, all ics and quite probably JB kernels are affected. Keep reading and get yourself fully familiar.

Do you believe that there is or will b e a stable and fully working gingerbread rom for our device?
Are you already using one? Enlighten me please....
Well GR6 with FPS kernel is pretty good so far. I also got high hopes for Spica's R12 when its done. But SR1 and SR2 are also really good. CM7 is pretty much 100% stable too.
And then of course, there's the stock lg gingerbread too...
with cm7 i have very low call quality(that's what they tell me the people i speak with...) cannot use radio or 1080p... with stock i've had bsod and random shutdowns...

I'm running this ROM on my Captivate and love it. I need to get my post count up before I can post in the development section, but that's not what this post is about.
I was running Cyanogen 10 on the cappy, and loved that. But I also want to share the love and I've had AoCP CP3~The Collective installed for a while and think it's a keeper. When I was running CM10, I would go out about once a week to the nightlies site and download the newest ROM and test that. Where do I go to find the most up-to-date version of AoCP CP3~The Collective?
Thanks in advance for helping me out, and to the developers who spend their time on keeping this old device "recent". :good:

The main page of their thread should get you what you need. A lot of the Rom's I've seen don't do nightlies that are available to everyone. They usually only release updates as they add features and the Rom is mostly bug free and usable.
Thanks, I was wondering if they were doing that. I just got a little suspicious when the file date hadn't changed for a while. Now that I know, I'll just keep downloading the file to see if the date changes.
Thanks again for the assistance!

You don't have to keep downloading the file just keep an eye on the thread posts and the op. We will update the op when new builds are released.
Also be on the lookout for a q&a so peeps with 10 posts or less can ask questions in there.
Every since I downloaded the first CM10 my Captivate has the cmupdater in the system settings under phone. All I have to do is click on "check new versions", and it has shown me the latest nightlies nearly every 24 hours. Otherwise I use Rom Manager from the play store. So far so good with the CM10. I'm loving it! Now just have to keep upgrading apps such as Google just did with their search engine because the Mod is ahead of the app builders. Thanks soooo much to the Cyanogen Team for such reliable builds!!!

Well,
Rigth now i have android 4.0 in my captivate, but it has a lot of bugs, with the audio, music, and sometimes just close the app just because!!
I decided to change the rom for another newer, but i don't know a lot of this world, and i have some questions that somebody experiment can easily answer.
When i dont know a lot of what the kernel do for the phone, but do i really need change the kernel?? Because the last time i tried with semaphore but i briked my phone.
If i need to change the kernel, could some body tell me te more stable for android 4.1 or 4.2
Second question.
I want another ROM which one is the more stable and with better performance, i dont want any spectacular, but with a good performance and all working its enougth for me.
And the last one.
How can i save my apps to reinstall all again, i mean i'm working bad piggies and where is may water, and i dont want to lose my levels jaja.
Thanks again for your time its really a lot of help for me.

No need to change kernel.
CM10.0 stable rom. It is 4.1.2 os.
You can read other threads on how to use Titanium backup or other tools to preserve your user data and user apps. Don't try to restore system apps to a new rom, though. if you have given google permission to backup your data, it may already be restored when you reinstall the app from google play.
You will still want to do a full factory wipe, followed by flashing the correct gapps package. you can find all the instructions and links in the CM10.0 thread in the captivate development forum.
If you want to go to 4.2, I've found the CM10.1 nightlies to be very stable. There's a separate thread for it with links, etc.
Thanks for your answer, and thanks for the extra of read my post because my english is too bad jaja.
Another question, why the developers create new kernels if we can work with the same for a lot of roms, i mean what things make better some kernel from another??

Each kernel has its different characterstic, like on can help you overclock your device while some help to give good battery backup and they make our phones more stable

or less stable . .
driving new features or higher performance is often, but not always, accompanied by a loss of stability, at least for a few revs.
imho, the base kernel in cm is excellent for someone whose chief concern is simplicity and stability, without a burning desire to be at the bleeding edge.
that said, the semaphore and others do have some added tweaks that can do just what you said.

I think I should have been more clear in my first response.
When you flash cm10, you will be flashing a new rom that includes a new kernel that is different than the one you have now.
I thought you were asking about flashing a kernel as a standalone, such as semaphore kernel, rather than a complete rom.
When I said you do not need to change the kernel, I meant that once you flash a complete cm10 rom, you do not need to change the kernel.
For a ROM, I highly reccomend sephhi's captivating (4.2.2 with xperia theming and very much aimed at performance and battery life) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057574
This is the answer!!!
Excelent, i really appreciate your help, and i think that now i will flash with CM 10, maybe i will return for more help if i needed, but now nothing can scared me like the first time that i try this

Hi
I must say I am a bit disconnected from the Android world since I get to university and I must ask how all have evolved. I'm looking for the newest most stable custom roms at the moment of this post. I think it would be a good idea to maintain a post like this to keep track of what roms have reached a stable, proven state without having to dig too much.
Cheers!

Well there's the RC4 build (release candidate 4) of cyanogen mod 10.1 that's quite good. Its based on android 4.2.2.
Take note that you should ask questions in the questions section and ROM discussions are generally frowned upon so do venture into the development section to learn more about them.

And till now I did not face any heating issues
MM is butter smooth on my s5 G900H
Try going to stock recovery and clear cache partition and data
And then flash stock rom
Sometimes it might be a problem with your country rom
If problem still exists
Try flashing any nearby country's rom of your model number

I already did those. Based on my experience with stock roms, performance varies with region. I tried nearly all of the firmwares from other regions, but they all have the same issue, some are even worse.
