This a ROM for the Samsung Captivate that I use everyday.  It doesn’t have the carrier bloat and doesn’t have some of the Samsung bloat.  I also don’t add any extra programs or capabilities besides:

  • Root
  • Custom Kernel (Voodoo) with EXT4 Lagfix

The only other changes are some status bar customization.  I am a fan of the Gingerbread look (partially).  I don’t really consider myself a ROM cooker, I just want to share this with the world because some of you may find this useful.

What I Did

  • Merged the Rogers Official Froyo ROM (I896UXJL1) with DesignGears Cognition 2.3B8 ROM.  Removed all the stuff I didn’t need.
  • Added SuperCurio’s Captivate Voodoo Froyo Kernel w/ EXT4 Lagfix
  • Skinned/customized the notification bar
  • Removed Rogers’ bloat
  • Replaced Rogers’ boot screen with AT&T boot screen, but removed the start up sound
  • Added latest Google applications

Features

  • Based Official Android 2.2 (Froyo) platform
  • EXT4 Filesystem (/system, /data, /dbdata)
  • Install Non-Market Android applications
  • Mobile AP (free WiFi hotspot) support
  • Free USB Tethering
  • Adobe Flash 10.1

Acknowledgements

  • DesignGears for providing a skeleton to make ROMs ie. the Cognition ROM series
  • SuperCurio for the kernel
  • AT&T & Samsung for not providing timely software updates.  You inspire an entire community to do a better job than you.  #Bitter lol
