So I just rooted my i897 with 2.3.5 mostly to remove bloat and put in the lagfix (which after reading more isnt the best idea). Trying to get the most from a daily use phone. The guide in this section made it so easy. Wish every instruction I read was that concise.
Since I wont make it run a bit faster that way Ive been giving consideration to geting into CM. Here is where my questions start cus Im a noob to all this.
1. Im pretty sure CM 7 was based off GB and its stable, are the next progressions just as stable on the captivate? And if so, what generations are based on what OS? (ICS,JB, KitKat)
2. If Im going for speed and stability, will going with, say CM10, show diminishing returns rather than an older version? Being an older phone, will my technology keep up with the latest & greatest OS?
3. If it turns out I want to go back to 2.3.5 do I really have to start at Eclair and update all the way back up? (sounds like a pain)
Im leaning towards CM because I know it has a huge base but recomendations are always considered. If you want me to find out for myself, thats ok. Just point me in the right direction. Like I said Im new in this world and all the info has my head spinning!
Thanks for any help. It looks like the ppl on here really work hard to be friendly and use the most of what they have to help each other out.
