I have a Samsung Captivate I897 running Gingerbread 2.3.5 (I897UCKF1), and a couple of weeks ago I rooted it using geeve420's excellent step-by-step guide (and installed CWM at the same time). Since then it's been working well but there have been a couple of instances where I've had to pull the battery to clear a lock-up (and once where it spontaneously rebooted, which I thought was only an unrooted GB issue), so I'm seriously considering installing another ROM.
I've looked at the ones that are out there, and I settled on either CyanogenMod 7 or Andromeda 2.0. Both are based on GB 2.3, and both have features that intrigue me. I'm wondering, though, what kind of heartache I'm letting myself in for if these mods don't work or cause more problems.
Has anyone else installed a new ROM on their Cappy and, if so, how did it work out? Did you have any issues with the new ROM, and which one did you use? Did you have any hardware issues before or after the new ROM, and if your phone was still (presumably) under warranty, did you have to go back to stock and unroot before you took it in for warranty exchange?
I'd love to hear some of your experiences. And I want to make sure I do this right. TIA for your help and feedback.
