Ok im getting a used phone that is stocked never been rooted and ill update to 2.3.5. What is best stable rom with battery life and OC after i odin and corn kk_4 v705 and do i need BL drs or not necessary?
Many ROMs are stable. Best ROM is the one you like most.
For people with no experience with Captivate I always recommend this Guide. It shows step-by-step how to update the OS from GB to CM10.x stable. CyanogenMod is the most popular ROM, CM10.1.3 Stable is JB 4.2.2 based, CM10.2 Stable is JB 4.3.1 based. Don't flash beta or experimental ROMs as your first custom ROM. Read the guide VERY carefully and try to understand what you are doing.
Ive had Cappy back in the day with Heimdall days and 2.2 lol. Im getting a used Cappy this week it will be 2.1. Yes i already have latest stable 10 and gapps downloaded and ready and wanted to know if i can use the s3 touch wiz after all is said and done? Sec launcher signed or unsigned? Can i use neat kernel on this or what do you recommend for OC`ing?
- You can't upgrade to CM10.x starting from Eclair, read the Guide.
- You can get TouchWiz style theme and/or TouchWiz launcher, whatever you like.
- Be careful what kernel/version you are looking at, different kernels are for different Android versions.
- I wouldn't recommend OC over 1.2GHz. Default CM kernel supports step OC to 1.2GHz.
- Careful with CM10.2 Android 4.3.1 based, kernel change may break the ROM.
I see you are in a hurry to transform your Captivate to something awesome, but please read more and understand what you are doing. All the information needed is already here on XDA. Use Search and you'll fund what you are looking for. Upgrading from 2.1 to 2.3.x includes bootloaders flash and a risk to brick your device. I recommend you to use KIES for this process, follow the instructions closely.
I meant after ive done the kies and 2.3.5
OK
- you can use whatever you want launcher with CM10.x
- Neat kernel is for different Android version (4.4.x), don't flash it
- for CM10.2 my recommendation is to use default CM kernel
hello, mine is CM10.1.3 but I was able to use the JB 4.3 but its running real slow. do I need to update it for something?

CM11 Android 4.4.2 based nightly builds are quite stable. Some features are still missing, but coming back soon. I'm currently running latest 20131215 and I have no issues whatsoever. In my opinion, CM11 runs better than CM10.2 and uses less RAM. Leave ART alone for now, it's in experimental stage and more potent hardware is needed to show real advantages; use default Dalvik VM.
Keep in mind, that once the phone is repartitioned to run CM10.2/CM11 there is no easy way to go back to CM10.1. You'll need to go back to stock GB, flash Corn kernel, flash CM10.1 to repartition, flash CM10.1 again to install the ROM.
thank you! but can I directly update it to CM11? since Im running CM 10.1 or do I first need to update it to CM10.2?

once you get a custom recovery on the phone, then it becomes a much easier process. I only really found trying to unlock the phone as the main difficult item.

Hello, SGS newbie here (phone not actually arrived yet, will be here Monday).
I think the phone looks amazing, only thing I'm not mad on is the iPhone look and feel Samsung have gone for with the home screens, so I'm thinking of either customising it or putting a different ROM on the device. Cyanogen, Darky's and MIUI are the ones I've read about the most.
What is Darky's? Is it more or less a stock Android with LauncherPro, or is it more than that?
Edit: also wondering - is the Samsung Gingerbread ROM worth trying, does it solve some of the performance problems of earlier versions?
Everything is worth trying! If you want to skip the usual newbie routine, then jump straight ahead to an AOSP ROM like CM7 or MIUI... You won't regret it.
Try Tweaky's AOSP

oh....and I expect your phone will come with GB installed any way...if not, depending on your supplier, Kies may offer you the firmware upgrade when you install it, and despite some reports (in my opinion) it represents a big improvement over 2.2 Froyo.
All the new custom roms are based on 2.3.3 gingerbread any way
Also pretty newbified here, but is it possible to get GB simply on a kernel flash and stay on stock rom, or will i have to flash a custom rom to do this. I have froyo 2.2 but speedmods kernel - pretty happy but would like to try out GB.

Navigate to Ramad's stock rom thread, choice of stock 2.3.3 rom there, both odexed and deodexed
Cm7 is pretty much same as nexus s rom with lots of additions( theme manager,dsp,cyanogenmod settings,etc). You can also try sammy gb roms if you wish( flash with odin,there is guides about it just google) but you have to downgrade the bootloaders before you go back to cm7 ( I bet you will)
Thanks for the info folks. I guess I'll stay on the stock rom at least for a few weeks and get used to it although I reckon I'll use launcherpro with it as I don't like the samsung launcher.

So I ordered a Galaxy Note 1 yesterday, and i am pretty sure I wanna root& put a custom rom on it.
Right now, i tried to find the right rom for me, which turns out to not be that easy, since there seem to be many good roms &kernel combination
Its simply not "clear" which one is the best, nor is there a comparison table or anything that would help a noob to know about advantages of different roms without actually trying them.
I read many threads, but I found out that there are a lot of fans of all those roms, so that i am not able to decide what to choose...
Maybe you could give me a hint, which rom/kernel is nice for my needs which are the following:
1) I would like to use "google now" since i like to test voice assistance
2) I am exited about project butter, since i want a very fluid/smooth feel when swiping homescreens, also want this "animation" when swiping through screens like with the s3
3) I want this s3 typical live wallpaper with those waterdrop effects (has nothing to do with the rom, does it? )
4) I want to use the pen and those apps (at least until I find out i dont use it as often as i think...) so I would like to have the galaxy note 2 experience on my galaxy note, speaking newest Touchwiz ?! (since i think some pen functionality get lost when using some roms..)
5) I saw there are roms, which support this tablet/hybrid more, so you can select for each app if you want it in tablet or smartphone view, i like that very much, would be cool to have it!
6) I am noob at all this, but whatever you suggest, I will read into it and spend a lot of time doing it the right way or as you say and succeed with it
7) I like easy upgrade mechanics, so if there is something new out for this type of rom, it would be cool to be able to update this from my phone without the initial tools needed to get root/flash/custom rom it (dont know if this is even possible)
8) German language support would be a nice to have, but not a must have...
Based on those needs, which combination would you suggest to me kernel/rom wise?
Advice is very very appreciated!
Regards, James

There are mods to get google now on any rom but i guess project butter can be experienced only on jb
You can get all spen apps on tw based custom roms and some apps are available on non-tw based roms but not all
There are many cm roms that support tablet mods like paranoid android
And on any rom,the best kernel is hydracore..Its an universal kernel and can be flashed on any rom
I'd say the best for you is stock Samsung JB (Android 4.1.1).

Thanks rajsekhar!
So lets say I would use hydracore and as a rom i have tot decide between a tw rom and paranoid android rom.
1) In the hydracore thread its seems that gavin the main developer is stopping his work, does this mean i should not use his kernel? Or does he have something "finished" released? Like completly without bugs, that can be used for the next year or so?!
He said in his thread:
If CM and AOSP type roms continue down this path then unfortunatly Hydra will be coming to an end.
So, on this note, when v6.1 final is released on friday (still more testing to do) i think I shall be calling it a day and cease all development activities for the Note.

If I should not use this Kernel because of this, which alternative is there?
2) If you suggest the paranoid android rom, you mean i should stick to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 ,right?
3) I cannot find the thread for the TW based-ROM do they also have a thread in this forum?!
Thanks so far, and in advance!

Hello, I recently bought myself a new Galaxy S i9000 for mostly multi-media purposes. I was looking for a smartphone that would suit my audiophilia needs and after lots of googling I found out that this is just the phone for that, so I bit the bullet and bought an unlocked one
Came in the mail today and I need your help with this! I've had androids before so I am somewhat familiar with the ecosystem, however since I joined the galaxy S bandwagon quite late, I'm REALLY behind on Roms and such.
Obviously, since I bought such an old device, I had my reasons; which are music. I'm gonna root this soon and I wanna install a rom with these sort of features.
I need a rom thats:
-Smooth as it can be
-Has the Voodoo Sound Kernal (according to everybody, that's how one unleashes the full potential of the sound)
-....won't get rid of my unlock
I don't care for customization, games, social media, etc. I just want a rom that's smooth, responsive, and has voodoo so I can enjoy my music on the go
Thanks!
If you want to go for custom ROMs then CM 10 all the way, its nighty so is still has bugs. But is good enough for daily usage. And damn is smooth I will never go back to GB or anything else...
You can try also CM 9, there is a stable version. Look for it in the development section.
This phone once unlocked, will never lock again!! unless you want to

CM10 Definitely LOOKS smooth, but is it fast and responsive? I've seen youtube videos (the very few there are) of single core phones that can only handle CM10 somewhat OK....they are somewhat smooth, but unresponsive when it comes to opening apps and menus (lots of loading and stuff). So is CM10 for this phone fast as well as smooth?

JB Custom Rom C-RoM Mix or C-RoM BeaN are highly recommended. You won't get disappointed with these Roms.
I've tried several Custom Roms, but i found C-RoMs to be the best, very fast, smooth, responsive, and stable.
This JB Custom C-RoM was benchmarked by Ratborg to be the fastest JB Custom Rom.
The kernel (Semaphore) supports Voodoo Sound.

The Rom contains the Kernel already, so unless you want to change or upgrade the built-in Kernel that's the time you have to flash it.
Flashing of Rom or Kernel usually can be made through CWM by going into Recovery Mode.
If you're coming from Gingerbread, the safest procedure is to flash an ICS CM9 first before this recommended C-RoM (which is based on CM10 and AOKP), this is to avoid getting your IMEI invalid.
During flashing of a Rom, you will have to re-flash twice or sometimes 3x before getting successful due to Android system and Partition Layout differences.
Don't forget to backup your important database and applications via Titanium Backup or GoBackup so you can restore them back after successfully flashing the new Rom.
Good luck and enjoy flashing.
Try this configuration, i have it my self... it runs really well, is not unresponssive at all, maybe some hiccups but overall is good.

Alright so this ROM contains the "sephamore" kernal with voodoo sound itself? Cool! Um, so I first flash a CM9 ROM, and then from there flash this?

Yes the Rom contains Semaphore kernel and yes you have to flash CM9 first and from there flash C-RoM.
Semaphore kernel supports vodoo sound but i think you have to install an application that produces the voodoo sound itself. I'm not sure but you have to further research on this.

From what I read from other threads, it appears that the ICS and JB roms are quite stable enough as a daily driver. I have a few questions regarding these Roms. I'm still running the Apex rom which is an i9000 stock based rom on 2.3.6 for the past year or so. It has been working very well for me. I'm kinda inching to running a JB or ICS rom because of some apps wouldn't run on anything less than ICS or JB.
1. My main concern that stopped me from running ICS or JB is the EU bug. What are the chances of one who never had it before to get it?
2. I know Adobe stopped providing flash support for JB, so now because I'll be running a custom rom, will there be flash support on those roms?
3. The state of 4.2.1 appears to still be in beta for most roms, so I would assume 4.1.2 is more stable than the former, but I would like to know how does 4.1.2 compare with 4.0.4 in terms of stability?
4. I've ran CM7.1 before which was an AOSP rom, but I experienced really bad battery problems. I've tried it a few times, and nothing works to solve it, so I always end up going back to the APex Rom. Because the JB and ICS roms are AOSP-based, how would these roms compare with the stock based roms and CM7 in terms of battery life?
I really want to be sure I want to flash JB or ICS. I would like to breathe some new life into my 2.5 year old phone, but just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into first.
Thanks in advance.

1. To my knowledge the EU bug is only present on ICS ROMs. I encountered it once and had read enough about it that I didn't hit the reset phone button. I went back into recovery and flashed back to jellybean with no permanent harm.
2. I haven't paid much attention to this so potentially yes and no.
3. 4.2.1 is actually pretty stable but is lacking some features that people already running custom JB ROMs have come to rely on. But yes for a fully functional and stable ROM I would suggest avoiding 4.2.1 for the time being.
4. In my opinion battery life is improved over gingerbread no matter what ROM you're running. Of course battery life is a subjective thing. I've seen screenshots where someone had their battery last 2 days on so and so rom. But that person likely didn't touch the phone the majority of those 2 days.
All in all I would suggest you go with jellybean 4.1.2 as they are very stable and honestly smoother and more responsive than ICS.
A couple things before you flash though. First make a backup of your efs folder. You'll thank me later if you end up needing it. Secondly going from where you are to where you want to end up is a major jump in software versions which includes a partition layout change specifically if you are going to Jellybean. So the first time you flash the ROM the flash will complete very quickly(less than 5 seconds). If you try to boot after that flash you'll get stuck in a boot loop. Don't worry though just reboot back into recovery which should have updated with the first flash. Then just flash the ROM again as well as the gapps and you'll be golden.

I'm still running the Apex rom which is an i9000 stock based rom on 2.3.6 for the past year or so. It has been working very well for me. I'm kinda inching to running a JB or ICS rom because of some apps wouldn't run on anything less than ICS or JB.
1. My main concern that stopped me from running ICS or JB is the EU bug. What are the chances of one who never had it before to get it?
2. I know Adobe stopped providing flash support for JB, so now because I'll be running a custom rom, will there be flash support on those roms?
3. The state of 4.2.1 appears to still be in beta for most roms, so I would assume 4.1.2 is more stable than the former, but I would like to know how does 4.1.2 compare with 4.0.4 in terms of stability?
4. I've ran CM7.1 before which was an AOSP rom, but I experienced really bad battery problems. I've tried it a few times, and nothing works to solve it, so I always end up going back to the APex Rom. Because the JB and ICS roms are AOSP-based, how would these roms compare with the stock based roms and CM7 in terms of battery life?
I really want to be sure I want to flash JB or ICS. I would like to breathe some new life into my 2.5 year old phone, but just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into first.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, flash it still supported. Just not needed by adobe.
Battery problem can come from so many things and usually is user based. We use apps like BetterBatteryStats to narrow it down though.
As for 4.1.2 and 4.2.1. I would highly suggest 4.1.2 for now until 4.2.2 comes out.
agree with BWolf56,
I've running CM10.0 stable release, JB 4.1.2, and have found it to be more stable, smoother, and reliable than stock GB with Corn 7 kernel.
I was also concerned about EU bug.
I couldn't find any evidence than anyone had experienced the EU bug on JB.
Skip ICS and go for it!

I think I'm sold to JB 4.1.2! Thank you for all the replies.

Hi there,
i have a Galaxy Tab 8.0 P7300. I want to know if there is a *better* cyanogenmod rom than the ICS stock rom?
I don't like putting new roms on my device every other week and want something that just works, but i don't know how stable the CM roms really are?!
I ask because the devices is not the fastes and im looking for a way to tune it a little bit.

Well, CM is good and has way more features than the stock one, but if you use your tab for heavy games playing
then stock ICS is the best cuz CM (9,10,10.1,10.2) is kinda laggy while playing heavy games
in my personal experience, the best ROM for our tab is an optimized stock ICS like this one:

You can't flash it or any other ROMs by odin, you have to install CWM through odin first,
Then you'll be able to flash it through odin.
You can find odin and CWM that can be flashed through odin in the second post in the same thread

Thanks a lot
Are current builds of CM 10.2 still laggy with Netflix? I tried it a few months back (a September build) and it worked pretty well EXCEPT for the Netflix lagging/buffering problems.

Seems pretty good on C-O-M's latest build of CM10.2. I only checked it for a minute, but it ran smooth.
