why not the specific captivate sub forum :p

because most of the people would be willing to get 2.2/2.2+ on their variants.

there is no source for captivate or vibrant for 2.2 yet, all based on source of i9000.

Themes of i9000 are compatible with others and most roms are built with common ingredients

apart from roms, all other info would be sort of relevant, thus single thread :)

please try to hyperlink the ROMs and Mods to their relevant sources as much as possible so that others can refer.

also mention the device :p
 
Anybody tried any other rom?

i'm gonna try Precision v2.5 now.

comes with Suckerpunch #41 100HZ kernel

and then will update to latest suckerpunch kernel #48.

will compare with current setup.

Benchmarks OOB after lagfixes was higher with Phoenix4.5 + SpeedMod kernel.

But suckerpunch #48 state that benchmarks will be low due to battery optimization..

this kernel comes with cpu clock and voltage control.

Touches 15000 on quadrant with 1.2GHz and optimization for performance.

As for general usage, Precision2.5+SuckerPunch Kernel #48 is turning out to be smoother. + addd 2.6 Black theme from their page and you are good to go!!

Battery Life was ample on Phoenix4.5 + SpeedMod kernel

Yet to evaluate the same on new setup.

Phoenix4.5 + SpeedMod kernel @ 1GHz

Precision2.5+SuckerPunch Kernel #48 @ 1.2GHz

Next On the List: Overclocking and Undervolting
 
well vibrant has a final 2.2 out , its not based on the i9000 rom :D im on trigger 2.1.1 on vibrant :) pretty lively and stable.
 
Update:

Precision2.5 + SuckerPunch with Lagfix enabled = Battery Drain..

Had a fiasco with imei and baseband again... figured it was incompatible modem :p

flashed to proper one now.

Another tried:

Andromedia V1.1 which is based on Giorgio Armani i9010 which has official 2.2

This was complete failure.

All gapps and swype kept FCing

Currently trying:

Cezar's Yin 1.2b

The base of the ROM is I9088ZNKP2 with I9088ZNKP1 modem (i9088)

@others..

please leave some suggestions and numbers so that others can think if the change/effort is worth it :p

yup i did a complete wipe; data,cache and dalvik cache. are you sure you tried 1.1 and not 2.1?

if that is the case then i will give it another go.

currently finding phoenix4.5 + speedmod k13b to be fastest and well featured.

will be trying to OC n UV on this for today.

2nd priority on list is Precision2.5; have to try this with speedmod instead of suckerpunch now..

This rom looks minimal with it's 2.6 black Theme

how are perception and cognition ?

bugs

benchmarks if any

features

Too many issues with the Captivate? I thought it was the Vibrant which had the issues :S Pardon my ignorance, have not done any proper research on the phones yet. But this is what i had gathered from a bit of reading so far
 
General Tip:

Disconnect your phone from pc before flashing through cw recovery. The phone enters debugging mode otherwise during flash/1st boot.. This results into loading of debugging IMEI (oo14 something)

This will result into radio not working (not FM radio) and you may have to reflash after disconnecting usb anyways.

All this is not really hassle to cope with...But the problem is that your Network Provider may see this as a suspicious behaviour and thereby bar you from service.

Also, if anyhow you flash improper radio, your IMEI will be unknown..resulting into similar action from Network Provider.

So flash with usb disconnected and SIM removed while trying new/different firmwares. (based of different modems and basebands that is..)
