Okay thanks for your opinion. Like you I also don't want to decrease my phones lifespan. But I have also read people saying if your phones temp stays normal that it does not harm your phone anyway at all. Looking to get a few more opinions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3thods:
I tried it and couldn't be patient enough to get it stable even at 1200MHz, so I left it as is. It's quite fast already, but needed to try it out to make sure I wasn't missing out. To be honest I was more interested in UVing the phone to increase my already good battery life on Serendipity.

Most if not all Captivates can do 1200Mhz at stock voltages. This will however raise your temps just a bit, hence the reason to UV.

If I were you just try it at 1200 and see where that gets you. If you can get that going, you can always write down your settings and push it a bit further. Here's the oft-circulated guide to OCing:

If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then be happy knowing your phone is plenty fast already :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
Okay, thanks for the link. I just read the comments on the overclocking app in the marketplace and everyone saying its made their phone run way smoother and that they recommend it to everyone so I'm just trying to see if its really worth it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
umm, you aren't running stock right? You have to be running a kernel that supports oc/uv
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolin95:
Overclocking is very safe specially at 1.2 where I have not seen any kernels going crazy with voltages for example.

Like someone mentioned, the overclocking tool wont do anything unless you have a kernel capable of overclocking though.

My favorite for froyo is Paragon but Suckerpunch or Onix are good too.

For CM7 my favorite is Trident so far.

Not everyone needs the extra speed but if you feel you do, give it a show and dont be scared about killing the CPU. If you see your phone going over 50C then I would back down but I have only seen mine go like to 56C once with one single kernel that was way too voltage happy at high speeds lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
Okay I'll have to do some research. Kinda new to android. Where do I find kernels like the one you mentioned? Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
If you are still on stock, I would suggest doing some research and flashing a custom rom, that will give you a different kernel, plus a lot of other performance tweaks, maybe just enabling a lagfix to convert the file system to Ext4 is all you would need instead of overclocking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
All I have done to my phone so far is download adw launcher ex from the market place. I'm not familiar with flashing roms just yet. Might give it a shot tonight its not to hard. Roms seem to be the popular thing for the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkjeeper:
Well, my cappy is 2 weeks old, I'm running Serendipity and LOVING it. Do a lot of reading b4 doing any rom's. It's not that simple. I suggest titanium back up, from the market, as well as rom manager. Back up ur apps. I just flashed paragons kernel, search this site for it. It had 3 or 4 versions of it from stock to oc'd to 1400. I started with a 1280 oc and now running 1360? Approx. I am blazing fast and no problems at all. If you have a custom rom oc'ing shouldn't be an issue, just read, read, read. Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolin95:
Yeah flashig roms is extremely popular and for good reason...you wont be believe how much better the phone can be until you try a custom ROM. As for lagfixes...I am not a big fan because I feel that when 2.2.1 roms started to show up the lag fixes did not make much difference and for me in cases made things worst. The best lag fix by FAR I have used is the actual CM7 ROM...damn that thing has no lag at all but that is a different level of difficulty to install it...nothing huge but I do this way too often.

A normal ROM is quite easy but READ a lot and ASK a lot before doing it to make sure you have a good experience. :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
you dont need to overclock unless you do heavy processing, such as running 3d games and emulators. i only overclock when gaming and throw it back down to 1000mhz under normal conditions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
And aside from being a little complicated, CM7 isn't in it final release yet so it will be buggy, which if you are new to Android isn't a good ROM to start with. Check out the Android Development section. The top ROMs (based on visits to their Topics, but not in Order) are Serendipity, Cognition, Firefly, Phoenix, Darky's......there are more but that is off the top of my head.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Darkys is a little complicated for a beginner. Don't forget Continuum. Cezar just released v4.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
I think a good start for a flash noob would be cognition, its closest to stock and you will notice instantly the speed boost. My favorite though is firefly
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donharden2002:
+1 on trying cognition. If you like the stock look and feel it's a good place to start. I personally dont see much of a difference when I have my phone overclocked to 1500. Maybe thats just me though.

Im running serendipity 6.3 now and I think my phone is very fast. I had an inspire and an atrix and to be honest my captivate is almost if not as fast as they were.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanywood:
My friend has a captivate it will not turn on at all help please
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
Thanks for all the replies. My buddy has done some flashing before and we are gonna do this process together so I don't mess anything up. We are going with cognition 4.3, looks to be most stable and has the no lag fix and some other cool stuff. The videos that we will be following is for a older cognition, version 4 I believe, the process should still be the same right? Also the videos was published by mobiletechreviews, I believe that he is part of the xda community. So this is what I'm leaning on doing tomorrow when my buddy comes over, but if someone mentions something better we'd definitely like to hear about it. The person that said they prefer wirefly or I think that's what he called it, can you tell me why you like that better? Thanks for the help so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Those videos are perfect, they go through the process exactly and flashing is pretty much the same for most roms and kernels, unless you want to go gingerbread but that's another discussion, I prefer firefly because its the fastest for me with the best battery life and it has the best community very nice and helpful AND the dev updates every thursday with its own ota app.

Just make sure you do plenty of research on backing up, flashing, restoring, and how to use ODIN!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
Yah we were looking at odin already, you gotta restore to 2.1 and do a complete wipe out before flashing. I'm already backed up to. Maybe I'll do some looking into firefly since it gets updated so often, and everyone could use a little extra battery life. Is firefly more customizable than cognition? I like customization, keeps me occupied : D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes it is super customizable, the ota app has several themes, battery mods that you can download right from the app and flash in recovery. Oh and idk about cog but firefly comes with a kernel that supports oc/uv so all you would have to do is get voltage control in the onyx kernel thread and configure that if you still feel you need to oc
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdahgary:
Be mindful that cog is captivate rom and thus needs a captivate kernel. i9000 based roms will need i9000 based kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
True, but the roms come with a kernel that will work, he's just trying out flashing for the first time, mix and matching kernels is the next step in flasher level :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
Haha thanks for clearing that up. Had me a little confided. And I have one more question, as right now I'm rooted on 2.2. The program that I rooted my phone with also had a one click allow third party apps, so as of now I don't have to side load apps I can download straight from my phone. Is cognition is only side load? Or can I run that program again to allow third party apps to be installed on the phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
All custom roms allow side loading, its not the only way to install an app, you can still download it directly from the market still, side loading is just the ability to install an apk without going through the market, if you are on 2.2 you will have to get past the 3e recovery. Take this opportunity to use odin and go back to 2.1 it had 2e recovery so zip signing isn't a problem, plus you need to know how to use odin in case there is a problem anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
Yah I've already looked at odin, seems simple. That video basically has all the info :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
yup, got my cappy on dec 23, started flashing on christmas eve learning from those videos. just be warned now it quickly becomes an addiction to most of us.

so.. once you have backed up and odined back to 2.1 throw attached update.zip on the root directory of your sd card, boot into recovery, reinstall packages twice and you will boot into clockwork recovery from there you can flash the rom of your choice. if you choose to switch roms, just rinse and repeat.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3thods:
I'd also like to plug bay_wolf's AIO software. It really makes flashing easier. I'd give you the link but I'm on the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Don't forget to consider Andromeda. True there's only been like 3 updates since it was released in mid january, but that isn't a bad thing...

The reason it isn't usually in the first 10 threads on dev section is because no one is reporting issues...the ROM simply runs flawlessly.

i897 running Andromeda 3
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezz23:
I'm probably try the cognition 4.3, then I'll be on the hunt to find bigger and better roms. Lot more to think about with my captivate, then my jb iphone
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremyx2:
I am coming from a Droid and to boot into recovery if it boot looped or anything it was power + x then it was in CWM. But I am unsure how to get into recovery if it boot loops on my tbolt. Sorry for the noob question!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powell730:
To get into cwm you hold volume down as the phone boots up, then select recovery. Make sure you don't have a pg05img on the root of your sd card tho because it will automatically try and install it, resulting in your inability to select recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremyx2:
Thank you for the help. Last dumb question. What's a pgn05img? So many new things to learn on this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Not dumb, but it shows you've not rooted... ;)

It's basically a stock rom/rom-update image file. If the phone sees one on hboot, it will overwrite your current system with it.

If you've rooted your phone, you put two different versions of it on the sdcard at some point in the process. If you forget to remove it or rename it after finished rooting it could be problematic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FlyingToilets:
Sorry if this is asked a lot but I went back a month and didn't see anything like what I'm looking for.

Anyways, I haven't really been paying attention to xda and the magic ROM scene since I flashed CM6 quite a while back. In fact it says this is my first time logging in since September. But I want something different and fresh on my phone, so I'm looking for advice on a good ROM to try. I checked out the development section a bit and I don't recognize any of them, I'm not really sure where to start.

I'd prefer a 2.2 ROM, possibly 2.3 if it runs fast/stable. Mainly looking for speed over features. My phone is as follows:

Rogers HTC Magic 32A

1.33.2010 SPL

3.22.20.17 radio

Thanks a lot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Ezgingerbread is a good 2.3 rom. I've been using it for months without many issues
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] faridsaab:
First Sorry for my bad english...

I hardly recomend you to try Carz CM7.. but that one is for 6.35(new radio)32a so you have to do this changes first...

1. change to 1.76.2007 SPL

2. change 6.35 radio

3. choose you favorite recovery made for this radio.. (i radder ClockworkMod than Ra's) but if you used radio switcher 4.1 it will install u Ra's.

4. wipe all you can wipe

5. flash Rom.

6. flash gapps

7. Wipe Again (nobody sais so. but i always do i with greats results)

enjoy and comment.

Gingeryoshi 6.1

I'll throw my hat in the ring for GingerYoshi here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932118

Since you have a 32a you'll have to flash a different kernel than the one that's included and if you have the fender or 1.2 you'll want to use the rattking kernel. The full list of kernels and devices is listed in the bug thread.

I've been running it for a few weeks and it's rebooted on me once (I was playing with overclock settings). It's fast and anything but bloated like CM. Much nicer running a rom that was designed for your hardware specs.

[Android General] wachw:
Hey. Just wanted to mention one thing. You don't need to format your SD Card to get it to work. All you need is to put the DLOAD folder with the UPDATE.APP in it. You can have other data on the sd card as well and it still works. People end up formatting their sd cards when most of them are already fat32, at least the main partition, so maybe you should edit that step?
[Android General] veer1238:
You are right to some point....but i think it works only if fat32. Some people might have fat or ntfs(windows based) however ill amend the steps thanks man!:)
[Android General] wachw:
Yeah I see your point, maybe you could amend it to 'make sure your sd card is formatted to fat32' or something like that?

Edit: just seen you've already changed it. My bad. :-)
