If Samsung Captivate SGH-I897 users have been feeling neglected, they don’t have a reason to now because the MyUI Euphoria has just been released for Captivate phones. Based on MIUIAndroid 2.3.30 v2, MyUI Euphoria comes packed with the AROMA installer, which allows you to customize some aspects of the ROM before you install it on your phone, and features like an ICS control application, three-way reboot, Glitch kernel, and Google Apps.

The MyUI Team members, the minds behind this release, are still working on the ROM but they promise that they’re trying to resolve some reported issues, such as the Google Play Store not working for all users and being unable to receive OTA updates. Don’t let those small bugs discourage you; the rest of the ROM is in working condition.

Caution

• If you’re excited to get this ROM on your phone, we’d like to remind readers that the MyUI Euphoria is compatible only with the Samsung Captivate, model number SGH-I897. You can check your model number through Settings > About Phone. If your phone is incompatible, we highly discourage flashing this ROM to your device as it may lead to bricking.
• Use these instructions at your own risk.  Do not hold us responsible if you damage your phone.
