Which are the best 2.1 ECLAIR roms for the Captivate? I've been using a 2.2 rom and it's very slow. I've been searching for 2.1 custom roms without succeeding. Does somebody knows a good 2.1 rom for the captivate?

You wont find any custom 2.1, only 2.2 and above. Just out of curiosity, why do you want to go SO far backwards?
I reasoned that it will be smoother on the captivates hardware. How come that there isn't any 2.1 roms?
Cuz it is 2.1... We had froyo and no body cared about 2.1. Now we have 4.0.3
Thread closed.
The best ROMs are those in current development, and are subjective no matter what platform they're built on. Do your own research and find one that works for you.

I've tried every rom I could find in the captivate section, they are all i9000 or some leaked 2.2 rom. I just want a rom that is based on our official JH7 but with some modifications and lag fix.
You want an Eclair rom?
Get an old Cognition 2.1 Rom, they're on his website.

Thank you, I will try that
Can someone please post a response?
You can load a Froyo rom. Just go to the development section and find one you like.
Yes you can, view this forum for all custom ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706
My personal favorite is Cognition.
Hi guys, i'm going to flash a new rom to my G1 soon, but before i do that, what would be faster? An Eclair rom or a Froyo rom? Thanks for your help (and sorry for the stupid question)!
It really depends on the rom for me i stick with donut roms and trick them out with the latest ADW and a theme and maybe beautiful widgets donut is the fastest and best with battery life but as far as eclair vs froyo
Eclair roms are down the drain so try biffmod
USe the thank button
From my experiences, Eclair is definitely faster for me than Froyo. If you want to try out an Eclair ROM, I would suggest SuperE. It's definitely the fastest Eclair ROM I have found.
However, just like the poster above me, I would recommend Donut ROMs. I just went back to Donut ROMs, and I love the speed it gives me. I think I'll be sticking with Donut ROMs until I upgrade my phone.
I would say froyo. Try biffmod 2.1 with 2708 port, this thing is as fast as any eclair or donut rom for that matter. 15mb radio/spl hack does wonders.

Yeah I agree Froyo is bound to be faster since it isn't a ported ROM. Most or all of 2.1 ROMs are based off of CM5.0.8, which was a port from the Nexus One. When google released the AOSP source for Froyo, they included the G1 drivers natively. They are much more stable than the eclair roms.
But, like others said earlier, donut is always going to be faster on the g1, but less apps are supported.
I need help with my kids G1.
What is the best rom that's. Run stable on G1 nowadays?

you could try froyo by laszlo 5.2,cos-ds,gingeryoshi etc..
For my ol G1 donut or froyo roms were the best for it, things got a little iffy when it was using Gingerbread or even a sense rom . Donut is the fastest though hands down, even w/o JIT.
I have tried a great number of roms and I can tell you that the best one is the PadronFroyo, the only problem is that I don't know if the italian is the only language, you can google it!
You can try SuperAosp. It is stable and fast.
If you want to run Froyo then its Froyo by Laszlo. And for Gingerbread Ginger yoshi or ezGingerbread by ezTerry..
Try Cyanogen ROM, really good one
now i'm trying froyo by laszlo. i think it's good. don't use padron froyo, because this version no supports bluetooth and screen rotation

Froyo by laszlo is the most stable froyo rom. Make sure to use EXT4 partition with it.
froyo yoshi, froyo by laszlo and ads_magpie are good.
I have a question and you may find it silly but that's okay, I have my reasons. If I take my Rogers I896 Captivate from stock 2.2 rooted froyo and put it on GB 2.3.3 from the I-9000, Instead of having the GB launcher can I go back to touchwiz from Froyo? Because I love the dock and the launcher, very smooth. And if I go to 2.3.3 is there any chance I can go back to 2.2? I keep hearing everywhere that I will brick if I do.
Yeah you can go back, but you have to be careful because your flashing bootloaders.. A lot of the bricks from 2.3.3 back to 2.2 is user error.
Why do you want to put a i9000 ROM on your phone. Captivate has a ton of gingerbread ROMs...?

The stock 2.3.3 uses the "same" launcher as 2.2 its just TW4 instead of TW3
you can go back to 2.2 you just have to be careful that you dont flash new bootloaders

All the 2.3.3 ROMs for the captivate are from the i9000 source code of gingerbread.

What exactly do you mean by flashing new bootloaders? Are You supposed to keep the ones you got from. 2.3.3?
What folder are ringtones stored in 2.3.3
I want to move my MP3 ringtones to the phone ringtone folder but I can't find them. In the 2.2 version they were in the audio folder but now I can't find a audio folder.
Thanks,
I am trying to search for ROMs based on the I897 2.3.3? Is there a list somewhere or what is best way to search these ROMs without the i9000 ROMs being included? Specifically I would like a ROM that just removes all AT&T branding and bloatware as well as the power on/power off tones/screens.
I have loaded 2.3.3 and flashed the beta 2 Kernal from DG but I do not want Cognition just a clean version of the stock ROM and maybe add a couple things later.
