Need advice on 2.2 Rom?

[alton987]

My buddy just got a captivate from AT&T, I want to help him get 2.2. I have played with several 2.2 roms but I need advice for him? He wants flash so I want to help him out. He is not worried about bleeding edge or speed.

What would be the most stable 2.2 rom I should put on a nontechie's captivate?

Thanks

Prepare to be scolded for posting in the wrong section

Before you think about roms make sure your friend knows how to recovery from issues

There are several stable 2.2 roms to choose from and which is best is a matter of opinion, and comfort

I'm assuming you're too lazy to read through every single post, so I'll redirect to another site where you won't have to read through so much techno-jargon.

If you're not on the bleeding edge, then please do your research here: http://www.samsungcaptivateforum.com/custom-roms/ and look especially at the custom rom review, as people have clearly laid out the pros and cons of each ROM, and then come here to pick your ROM.

Cezar's JPY if you want stock with some decent addon options
DesignGears's Perception 10 if you want everything to "just work" and smoothly
Darkyy's 7.8 (or 8.0 once that's ported) if you want a themed version of JPY

now: wrong section, /thread

I'm sure some people won't be too happy about this thread

Most of the JPX/JPY-based ROMs are fast and stable. I haven't tried many of them, but I find Darky's to be the fastest and most flash-looking, whereas I found Cezar's to have the best battery life. Also, after installing a ROM, you may want to experiment with different kernels for different performance, tweaks, and battery life. Once you choose and install a ROM, most people here will be happy to help you work out any issues you might have.

Also, take note that if the Captivate is batch 1008 through 1010 (you can look under the battery to find the batch number), you will NOT be able to Odin one-click or revert to JF6 stock using any method, and you'll be limited to only installing JH3-based or later ROMs once you've installed a 2.2 or 2.2.1 or later ROM.

I know that there is going to be hell for this thread, but I will give you my 2 cents.

Check this ROM out:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890429

It is by far the best and most stable i have used to date.

quickly before I'm flamed for posting......my thoughts on everyone's complaint about posts being in the wrong place.....if you don't want n00bs posting in the developement section, then you need to remove the stuff they want. Post up comparison threads and "it's live" threads somewhere else. leave this place for developers. Make it so noone but developers have any idea what is going on. As long as this board is the place to come to for ROMs, you will continue to see posts like this. Or in a perfect world everyone would just flat out ignore any post in the wrong place.

I am now prepared for my whippin'......
