well i dont need samsungs 2.2 update anymore.

After long waiting the froyo 2.2 i gave up and decided to go with the perception 5 rom..  needless to say, its super fast, energy saving, adobe flash 10.1, froyo 2.2, att bloatware is gone, lag fix, cool new Touchwiz GTG, old samsung keyboard, task manager, mobile AP wifi,
It was so quick and simple, me rooting for the first time, took 10 mins.  

So i ask everyone.. why not just flash your rom to perception, and never even think about the samsung 2.2 update. Because whats the purpose now, since the conception has fixed everything.  Why would i want to go back to 2.2 update once its released?

Heres a step by step.

USE this http://www.ponack.net/how-to-flash-cognition-on-your-Captivate/  Cognition step by step will work the same for perception, just use the perception rom instead.

USE this http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848115&page=1  All the perception files are here.  You will have to manually add the samsung keyboard, and Touchwiz GTG, if you like touchwiz.. its simple.

THATS IT, ENJOY! It makes your Captivate be what it should be, AMAZING!

Well I got to play with a Galaxy Tab today, which has Froyo on it, and man if thats the same Froyo we're getting than yeah I advise everyone to not even bother waiting.  It was laggier than our phones, And GPS was still broken. 

Anyway wow Perception?  Haven't heard of that one.  Seems everyone on here's been flashing to Congnition or Axura... glad to hear its working for you but man that just makes me more confused on which one to go with

I was just over there reading about it and it seems that b6 was pulled and he is working on putting out b7.... maybe I'll have to try one of the other roms

I also got my Auxura installed.
So far my Quadrant test is 1880, it was 890 with the Froyo beta 2.2v

what do you do next??? you celebrate due to you are now one of the great people who have a phone that is now running faster than before and as fast as it was suppose to run when we first got it!

HAHAHA!! thats funny.. not only did i have a few drinks but between the kids screeming and the wife telling me to stop #@$#%%% with my phone ..it went pretty well...WOW that paints a REALLY BAD picture lol...  i love my family people  phone is working fine and fast.. dont know what ill try next.. i have to fix the Captivate that i dropped .. ill order the new screen next week and use that phone as a guinea pig

Well whadaya know. That was relatively painless.

Thanks guys (and gals)!

 

hey guys im like really really new to this whole rooting/custom ROM thing so i had a few questions. 1. do i have to remove my sim card while rooting? 2. can i use this method http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/12/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-android-phone-after-any-one-click-root-methods/ to load Perception v7 onto my Captivate after using the OneClick root method? 3. and i read that add-ons such as the Swype and Samsung keyboards could be added on after flashing the custom ROM and how exactly is that done? and Finally, does anyone want to email me their copy of Axura since it was taken down from XDA   i mean no disrespect to the dev's of Axura in any way but i just really want Axura lol. Thanks for any help!
