Thats the question.
I have been reading their forum and tweets... and all i see is Vibrant here, Vibrant there... nothing for i9000?
vibrant is i9000
unless you are refering to the USA version of vibrant which is SGH-T959

I'm sure for the purposes of the forums people refer to the us model as the vibrant the european model as the i9000 and the canadian vibrant model as i9000m... I read that somewhere in one of the sticky's. Therefore assume he would be talking about the european i9000
The Vibrant isn't exactly the same as the international I9000 (and is, in fact, an SGH T959). However, they are both Galaxy S series phones, and are both GSM. They have far more similarities than differences.
Once CyanogenMod is available for the Vibrant, I have little doubt that it will be ported to the international i9000 and the Captivate, at least.
i mean the european GT-I9000
Cyanogen mod is coming, you can see them talking about it being ported on their forums now, and iirc the dev said that they are working on it.
If you know what you are doing you can even make your own version of it now (mind you its not fully functional and buggy)

There was recently a tweet from one of the main devs working on Cyanogen for Galaxy S saying that his work was only for the Vibrant model... So perhaps international users have to wait longer for a port once the vibrant version is released
Yes, the international/European i9000 is what I was talking about. You won't be able to directly install the Vibrant CM6 ROM, but I don't think it will take much to port it. These phones are very similar indeed.

I imagine that this would be because that particular dev only has a Vibrant to work on, and so that is where he can best do his work for the time being. Since the cyanogen guys have to work across a lot of different phones and don't turn much of a profit, I wouldn't say it is unreasonable to see an individual dev only pick up one SGS varient.
However, the vibrant is DEEPLY similar to the euro SGS, and I can't see why a Vibrant ROM would be so dissimilar to a euro ROM as to require anything more than testing and tweaking.
Basically, don't worry. I bet ya a pound to a penny that they will put out a full set of SGS ROMs rather than doing it piecemeal.

Hey Guys,
I'm on the fence about buying a Vibrant and I'd love some perspective from you guys, the dev community.
I saw the Vibrant, love the screen and overall performance...however, I'm concerned about the future (6-9) months out.
The device is supposed to get Froyo..but what about Gingerbread?
How is the dev-ability of this device? Might there be a custom ROM to 1) have Froyo before Samsung 'blesses us' with it...what about Gingerbread?
Thanks guys - I'm new to this scene and appreciate your perspective.

ok...part of it was. it was a Q to the devs about the potential to put ROMs on this device.
I read on an Android blog comment that even though the phone has been rooted, that drivers are not 'in the open' so therefore ROMs would not be possible. I'm wanting to fact-check this

This is wrong. We will DEFINITELY see custom roms for this device.
I'm clapping my hands in joy and excitement
could custom ROMs include the possibility of Froyo, even before Samsung brings it 'officially'?

No definitive answer to that, but more than likely. Almost every previous device has either received a custom unreleased or early leaked android build. No worries though, we won't be waiting long for an official 2.2 dump. FYI, this device will eventually get Gingerbread. Google has already reported that all devices running a 1ghz processor will receive Gingerbread. However, don't expect that until AT LEAST the end of the year, possibly later.
I would suspect that we will start seeing Froyo roms come out between the time Samsung releases the "official" froyo rom and T-Mobile pushing said rom to the handsets.
Rooting was available for me even before i purchased the phone. Now i found out, Cyanogen Mod 6 is on the works. I believe that is froyo. Also, Clockwork recovery is as well. I believe we are in good hands. Future looks good so far being the phone out in my hands only 5 days.
ok cool. I was holding back on buying a Vibrant because I don't want to plunk down $500 bones and then have this thing be obsolete when Gingerbread comes out.
I'm still wondering the "open source" status of the driver of Vibrant. Someone said it's closed thus may affect the custom ROM progress? Can anyone elaborate on this a little bit?
CM6 for vibrant is being actively developed right now, its in an alpha0 stage, and should be finished(within a week hopefully) as for Gingerbread, I have no clue whether we will get that working on the vibrant, dont know the requirements, but since the vibrant is the fastest handset currently available, im thinking gingerbread will happen. Also we have plenty of space, plenty of ram, and a 1ghz processor, we'll be seeing dual core handsets at the end of the year/early next year, until then im happy to be getting my vibrant tomorrow shipped to me by tmobile.
some french guy already got froyo working on the galaxy s, its being worked on and will happen.
I'm also very happy tmobile has a Equiptment installment plan for me, since ive been using the G1 since October 08, im very happy to upgrade to this device

Since CM6 is froyo, we'll definitely see that before we see the official froyo rom from samsung. It'll be stock android--just like the nexus one style of look-- but at least it's android 2.2.
Once froyo (touchwiz ui) from samsung is released, we will definitely get a lot of froyo ROMs from our community, or if you're still stock then you can get the official update
Min. requirement for gingerbread.

Its just depressing to see Vibrant listed for future support for cyanogen roms, while the captivate is not. Hopefully the port is easy.

Last I heard they where making a universal cm6 for galaxy S. Perhaps working on the vibrant but end goal would make it universal. Oh well...perhaps i was wrong it wouldn't be first and def wouldn't be the last.
Same hardware so I don't see the problem with getting CM6 to work for us. Hell the Vibrant one might work straight across.
Side question, has anyone tried flashing a captivate with a vibrant kernel?
pretty good chance that CM6 should work as is, I'm running Vibrant6 at the moment with no issues other than the TMO stuff but that is nothing to worry about

I'm actually using the Vibrant source release to build my Captivate kernels. They're about the same but many things are missing from the Captivate sources. The compiled kernels are quite different though - the two version are built with different configurations and have different files in initramfs.

A couple of reasons
1) there isn't any 4 G coverage where I live and refuse to pay an extra 10 dollars for a service I'll never use. I'm in agreement with the folks behind explainthefee.com on that subject.
2) EVDO sucks here as well. 90% of the time I am on 1x instead of full EVDO.
Thanks for the answers so far by the way. Has Samsung finally gone along with the rest of the Open Handset Alliance and standardized on their file system layout or is it still as screwy as the one on the Moment?

Oh okay i completely understand you, i got screwed by ATT thats why i'm switching, i thought sprint and verizon share towers virtually. i guess everyone have different experience i hope you have good one with ATT, but i'm sure you will .

They don't share towers, BUT you can install a VZW PRL file which force a sprint phone to use VZW towers. That helped me a little.
The main reason I moved to AT&T was Sprint's decision to not include Froyo on any of their older Android phones. The Hero, which now runs CM6 and the Moment, which has the same CPU as the moto droid, will get no further enhancements. I hated that. I was ready to jump to T-Mob and the Vibrant but the Amazon deal for a penny on the Captivate got me here.
AT&T is great here. I'm not in a major metro area, and that seems to be where AT&T fares the worst.
Just been reading a post in the capative section where the processor had been over clocked to 1.6ghz known as the manhattan project

Hi all...
I dont even know how this will work but I wanted to see if there are any devs here that could and are interested in making specific roms for the i9000M for us Canadians?
I would be willing to pay a bounty and im sure others would be willing to pitch in as well for something made with the i9000M specific kernal (and other works) to help us poor Canadians from bricking our devices when we seem to flash to international firmware.
I have come to the conclusion that there must be something different in our devices which is causing all the havok of dead sd cards etc. Perhaps I am wrong but from the polls it seems that the most dead sd cards are due to the lagfix and flashing new roms.
Anyone have an opinion? Anyone willing to try?

I dont know much about those roms at all but i do know that lits of us Canadians that flash international firmware, mods, etc end up with a corrupt internal sd card and i think if there were some roms made with i9000m specific software that it would be safer to flash.

Is no one interested in this at all? Hmmm... Perhaps once Canada gets the official FROYO update then maybe?
Are there any experts / devs that can confirm or deny that the i9000M is the exact same as the international i9000?
i am interested in this as i am i9000m user who has bricked his phone with jpm. however, i did voice my opinion before and got people bashing me and saying the hardware is identical between the international i9000's and our i9000m. so i don't think you'll get much love for us, especially considering we represent a small portion of the sgs owners. i had suggested that if the hardware IS identical, and obviously the firmware is identical (if we're both flashing jpm/o), then all that is left is the bootloaders, or something else that isn't flashed with the firmware. but no one is interested, so i dunno. i was thinking maybe dumping the bml1-9 and comparing with that of an international phone, but i don't have the intellect to understand the differences. personally, i think we're boned.

AFIK the m is exactly the same other than the actual modem hardware. In respect to the polls, the m is at about a 28% failure and the international is at 14%. Too close imo to say that the m troubled.
The only thing the m really needs is a froyo modem file. The rest is working great. If froyo never came out for the m I would be just fine.
Flash through clockwork as it seems to be less harsh and limit your odin use.

My real question is how do we flash one of these roms without losing our cell signal? I've flashed a rom previously and my phone would not connect back to the bell network at all. Took me a little while to figure out how-to odin back the stock modem file which in turn fixed it for me
At one point wasnt there an internal build Gingerbread rom "leaked" from Samsung for the Galaxy S? I thought at one point I remember reading that there was. If there was, is anybody doctoring it up for the Captivate?
I'd like to go for Gingerbread on my Captivate but kind of dont want CM7, since it's stock based its too "green". I actually kind of like the samsung touchwiz based roms since they have the blue highlighting and the TW launcher isnt too bad, it looks sooooo much better than that puke green color of stock gingerbread.

There was a leak for the I9000 but since they did not release the source code it can not be ported over to the Captivate.
so far there is CM7 and Miui built off 2.3.3.. your only 2 choices so far. Neither are out of beta yet.
i believe samsung has said they will be releasing gingerbread for the galaxy s phones starting as early as next month... not that I think they can keep a date to save their lives, but they do generally follow through... eventually
just wait for a while, since others (htc, sony) will release 2.3 update pretty soon, samsung will do the same thing ...
