Going to try something new here, this thread will be about modifying your awesome phone with different things, eg. Dial Tones, Themes, effects, ect

When posting please tell what it is and this is very important when it comes to themes what version of rom does it support like i9000 or jpy roms

and as always a link to where you got it from Happy but in most fo your cases that is the only way you will be able to post the mod

I'm on Darky's Rom 8.1, getting ready to bump up to 9.1.

I'm using the default theme with the circular battery icon, and the Nexus bootscreen. Thus far, I LOVE the rom. It takes away every peice of lag with the phone(aside from sliding down the notification bar, but that's mainly cause it's glass, and glass with a live wallpaper lags)

Guys keep this a MODDING thread if you want to talk about roms well there is a place for that but not here if you want to share a theme or app that helps your phone look great then place it here

OTHERWISE place your rom criticisms in the custom rom section

I know this thread is older but it is the modding forum and I didnt see noLED on here..

NoLED:
noLED is a good app since the captivate doesnt come with an LED to notify you of messages and such..

xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692

market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.led.notify&hl=en

----------

BLN Control:
Also I do not know if this falls in the same category which it should.. But if your running a kernel that supports BLN Mod..

xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8917392

market
https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.bln.control.free&hl=en

----------

Chainfire 3D:
Requires root. Chainfire is an intermediary OpenGL driver that sits between your apps and graphics drivers.. There are multiple functions you can do with this program but the biggest thing I like about it is being able to play Tegra 2 games on my cappy without error..

Dev Site
http://www.chainfire.eu/

market
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d

----------

RolleTube:
Youtube application with download extension otherwise known as Rolletube.. This is the youtube app just modified to give you the option to download videos within it straight to your phone without the need for a third party app..

xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069911

----------

Minimalistic Text:
A Very Customizable widget to set things the way youd like on your phone... I dont know if I would consider this a mod but I think it should be to a sense with all of the customization..

xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860075

market
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&hl=en

----------

Chronotopia:
Another very very customizable widget like minimalistic text but I actually think this gives you more options.. especially in the visual aspect.

xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001203

----------

EDIT:: Sorry had to add one more here thats critical

WiimoteController:
Sorry if you dont own a wii.. but if you havent bought a mobile game controller and have a wii this app lets you use your Wiimote with your cappy.. So if you use game Emulators for older gamers on your phone like I do and cant stand the touchscreen since theres no built in keyboard and your fingers are blocking everything then you can use your wiimote with this app...

xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672884][url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672884[/url]

Thats all I have for right now may update the post later if I think I forgot anything.
