[Q] Need update advice for Captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Captivate that was unlocked by ATT. It still has Eclair 2.1 and I want to update. Does anyone have any advice as to which would be better, Gingerbread, IceCream, JellyBean or KitKat?

JellyBean imo. The cappy doesn't have the hardware to run KitKat smoothly.

In my experience light JellyBean 4.2.2 ROMs run best on Captivate:
CM 10.1.0 Stable, SlimBean build 8, GamerzROM v4.0, ported CyanAOSP v.4.0.0, ported SuperNexus 2.0, etc.

[Q] Overcome ROM based on 2.3.7 ?

Any plans of updating the code base to 2.3.7 for Overcome ROM ?
I know ICS is on it's way, but before we can get the ICS code base to start working, updating the code base to 2.3.7 might be a big improvement.

The Overcome ROMs are based on stock Samsung firmwares.
Without a 2.3.7 release from Samsung (very unlikely), there will be no new (2.3.7 based) Overcome ROM.

How to get update?

I have a curious question.
I have GB 2.3.6 on my note. everybody says that the ics upgrade is on the way however my note says there is no update.
Whats happening if I load up and indonesian stock rom or a rom from the country where the upgrade rolled out.
Or how its working?
I bought this note because samsung say its ics now. I need to test the video capabilities of ics 4.

4.1.2 is the newest stock. All the current D4 ROMs except Eclipse are 4.2.2. You don't need to do anything more than install a ROM in a slot via safestrap.

Zeus 6.4 is solid and based on GB 2.34:

Otherwise, you can flash an official ROM from:

[Q] Actual Question

I have been running the 4.1.1 ROM on my Sholes for a while. I wanna know if there is a Kitkat build somewhere? It is lighter than 4.1 and yet 4.1 runs pretty good on it. Any help would be appreciated.
