Samsung Captivate: Updating to Gingerbread

I have been running Gingerbread (Android v2.3.3) on my Cappy for several weeks now, and I love it! There are two methods of going about this that I am discussing today.

DISCLAIMER: It is possible to ruin your phone by not reading and following directions. That is all. I will not assume responsibility.

AT&T ROM:
First the unofficial Official AT&T ROM installer (Odin 1-Click) can be found at http://bit.ly/kj5Xt3. They have created an installer package built on top of Odin. For those of you that do not know what i'm talking about, this is the software that lets you flash you Samsung Captivate with all sorts of goodies.

The downside to this official type ROM is that you are also getting all the AT&T bloatware to go along with it. However this ROM is most likely to run correctly because it was designed with the source code that isn't available to make a Gingerbread ROM for the Captivate yet.

Continuum:
I've been running this ROM for a while now and I find it to be very stable and is easily my favorite ROM out there. I look forward to the Continuum Team to put together a ROM based off the previously mentioned AT&T ROM, but for now, this is the one I would, err have chosen for my phone. This link will provide you with all the information and links to download one of the most complete and stable ROMs that I have came across for the Captivate. I hope you enjoy! http://bit.ly/mvx2k8

[Tech Support] Android Tip: Laggy Dialer?

Cleaning out your call logs will do wonders for a laggy dialer app.  I started using Call Log Trimmer and no more problems trying to get a call out due to lag.
