I´m in JM5 , and i think about upgrading to JP3...
is it a good ideia ?
No.. Highmem has been merged into the eclair trees, MobileAP is totally broken (and there are many other broken/crashing things) and finally, JIT isn't available in that build anyway (so no real speed benefit).
The only reason for using Froyo at the moment is if you have apps that require Froyo, or there are API's in Froyo you want access to.
Otherwise, trust me, you are wasting your time with it. I installed it because I couldn't help myself, used it for 2 days, and then reverted because it was an inconvenience.
I am finding JM5 more stable. I've tried both. Im not going to bother with JP3 again.

ok..
thank you guys =D
the leaked 2.2 is not stable enough
i'll wait for the final
I tried the new builds, but went back to JF3, which came on the phone.
As the others mentioned, I will wait for the official release.
upside, you can view flash on the browser./
These ROM versions are getting confusing - is JM5 newer/older/better/worse than JG5 or are they practically the same?
tried it for a week and it got very slow even with tweaks.Wait for another leak or the official version
I tried JP3 i found it abit laggy but it was a good taste of what 2.2 to come
Google Maps just force-closed on launching for me in JP3 - that was a complete deal-breaker, so I reverted.
JM5 is a later version than JG5 (at least it should be)
I've had no problems with JP3 at all and have benchmarked 1843 with it......Everything has worked fine for me on it??
I'm running JP3 as well and very pleased with it. I tried it on 2 previous occasions but couldn't get it to work well and reverted. A few days ago I did a fresh install, rooted by downgrading the kernel to JP2, rooted and upgrade kenel back to JP3.
Root access made it possible to fix all the little bugs on the ROM, so now I wouldn't go back. The only thing broken is Mobile AP, otherwise it's smooth, lag free and working as well as any other ROM

which little bugs did you fix?
also wouldnt JH2 kernel work on JP3 rom and fix the lag without ext3/4 on sdcard trick?
I'd stick with JM5, someone mentioned about Flash but you can get that working on Eclair. I actually had it running on the stock ROM, just check over in the Apps and Themes section for the .apk, it seems to work quite well.
Been using JP3 for a week now, followed the guide on hemorrdroids.net (search for "Galaxy S FroYo With New Speed Fix!" but I did not apply the speed fix.
Honestly the phone is at least 3x faster then the stock version that came with it.
Seems to be working VERY stable except for the AP Wireless option which is broken.
Have not had any issues besides one crash when tried to use AP.
After using both JM5 and JP3 I can assure that at least with me the froto update is ablot smoother even without the lagfix applied... After the lagfix it just flies really...

Too buggy for now. I'm sticking with JM5, have already tried 3 custom jp3's and they all sucked.
I'm also running the JP3 without any problems. The JM5 was fine, but seems to default to Russian. Anyone knows where I can find the real original JF3? Just in case I want to go back.
I missed Froyo JP3 ROM. after loading back DXJG4(latest Official South East Asia ROM ),the Eclair ROM has this bad memory management problem. without using Task killer..the lag will come back..even after lagfix.
On JP3,I dont need to use task killer, I have no sudden blackout problem.
Two quick questions. First, what was the most recent software update that my phone wanted to install? It wouldn't work on my phone, and I was wondering if it was important. Second, does it matter if my phone is rooted and has the one click lag fix?
Thanks

The most recent update was JH7 which has quite a bit of fixes. The most likely reason why you couldn't install it was because you're rooted with one click lag fix.
The best/easiest way to get the update would be to just install cognition 2.1.6
It has the JH7 firmware along with voodoo lagfix.
id recommend going over to froyo( cog 2.2 beta 8) its much better than eclair....i dont face any laggs whatsoever.....do a masterclean first....
hey guys.....i tried to look through all the forums and see if i could find it....but my eyes are killing me after an hour....so please bear with me if i ask a question that i asked before
I installed voodoo lagfix on my captivate phone......whenever i do a call.....the other party seem to have trouble hearing me....there is lots of background sound...(microphone sensitivity is probably the culprit.....)......
anyone had this problem before? if so, how can i fix it?

Use a different kernel.. Preferably the speedmod kernel by hardcore from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
One reboot and it should work!
hey ricky....
thanks.....i found out what it is.......i flash it back to stock and used a older modem.....that seems to have solved the problem.....
Thanks for the help

I have the same problem, except that I upgraded to Froyo thru Kies. I then rooted with Supercurio, installed Voodoo Lag Fix, then installed Voodoo Control for my sound. But now, I have no sound. I don't want to have to roll back to an "older kernel" because I've got to have that lag fix. Any help is greatly appreciated???
there is no voodoo sound for CKB1 yet...there isnt any source .....

Oh boy. So, what in the heck did I do?? I have no sound now, and this happened right after I downloaded Voodoo Lag fix. Could that be the culprit?

how did you 'download voodoo lagfix'?
you mean you flashed a new kernel? did you flash a PROPER kernel that has been MADE FOR THE CAPTIVATE?

I hope it was a proper kernel. I went to project-voodoo.org on my phone, downloaded voodoo lagfix 5.4.1 onto my phone, renamed it "update.zip", then used Rom Manager to flash it. I then got the whole robotic-voice, operation-will-be complete-in-5-minutes deal, then presto. Please help. I have no sound. I just uninstalled Voodoo Control App that I got from the market, too.

i dont know what you downloaded, but unless it was specifically made for the captivate, ie. a REORIENTED kernel, you have an i9000 kernel. i would suggest you flash a kernel that actually works for our phone, have a look in the dev forum...theres lots of options there

I followed the instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969697
All I'm trying to do is get some sort of lag fix on my newly downloaded Froyo phone. It appears that Voodoo's lag fix is the only one that works for some folks, but you have to have the Voodoo kernel in order to get the corresponding lag fix. But my only problem is that this lag fix made my sound go away. By the way, I flashed back to the original Froyo, and my sound suddenly re-appeared. Is there no other lag fix available for Captivate roms?
Darky Q&A
It seems that a pinned Q&A for Darky is missing here.
I have been using Darky 8.1 and just recently decided to give 9.3 a try. One of the things I have liked about Darky is that that the version of 2.2.1 on it supports bluetooth voice dial. I have a BlueAnt S4 in my car, and although it does not voice dial 100% perfectly, it's still worth using. (the rest of the 2.2.1 roms I have tried that do not support bluetooth handsfree)
Okay, here is my question: on Darky 8.1, going to Settings - Display - Wallpaper -Lock screen wallpaper - Gallery ... would result in->
Sorry!
The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Force close]
I seem to remember the initial update to 9.0 (or 9.1) listed that this was fixed. I just got 9.3 running last night, and this still results in a force close. Does Darky have a forum to post this kind of thing, where the developers might see it?

Same problem here, also on Darky 9.3 extreme cappy. I've tried reflashing the captivate swype file, restoring a previous back up, and installing the newest beta. No dice on all 3 accounts.
This doesn't seem to be a problem with just Darky though, and poking around the site it doesn't look like it is exclusive to the Captivate either.
Darky's 9.3 phone not receiving calls
Once again I would have posted in Darky thread in android development if I could..
Ever since I have installed Darky's my phone has had problems receiving calls and will often say "simcard removed from phone please reboot". Today I got a new simcard because I thought that may be the problem but I tested and it still doesn't work. My friend rung me and as the call comes through my phone loses service and the call gets cut instantly and slightly later it'll pop up saying simcard removed please reboot phone. Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe it's time to go to Cyanogen Mod..
Did you ever restore data with Titanium Backup after you installed Darky's?
Yup I restored everything that was on my old rom Cognition
That's your problem. I used to have the same problem. Your phone settings is different between the two ROMs. You should typically ONLY restore app data. Not the system data.
Try going into back into TiBu, then find 'Phone' and click on 'Wipe data'. Hopefully that'll make your calls work again. If not, you might need to reflash Darky's.
System data backups really don't work well between different ROMs (and even different versions of the same ROM).
P.S. Nice to meet another NZer btw.
Oh I see, yeah that makes sense, I asked a friend if I should restore everything I backed up and he wasn't sure so I just restored them all anyway. Now I'm not sure if I should reflash Darky's or move to Cyanogen Mod.
I would try the 'Wipe data' thing first before I try any flashing though!
Upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3 help
In the dev thread, it says you should flash a captivate kernal and modem before installing 9.3. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a guide to flashing modems/kernals.
Just kinda worried cause I have read so much about people bricking their phones when putting the wrong kernal/modem combo together. I noticed on the Darky app it has options already there, so do I have to downlad the kernal seperately, or did it come with the app, or does the app download it from somewhere?
I am afraid that if I flash the modem first, then reboot it won't match the kernal and I will get stuck.
Thanks!

You can flash a Modem in Recovery just like you Flash a ROM or Kernel. If you happen to Flash a wrong Modem it won't cause any problems other than you won't get Cell Service. I am presently using the New znkp1 modem and it doing Great on my Cappy with 9.3 Darky and SuckerPunch/Voodoo Kernel.

Just letting you know that in the Darky Rom Configurator App, if u enable LockScreen Wallpaper, it would use Samsung Gallery which has a battery draining bug. Hence it is an option in the Darky app before flashing.
If you really want to use it, enable it and then flash. Or I'll just work on disabling that menu option.

Don't know if I'm too late on this but...the modem/kernel combo included has been working good for me; no need to change it. Like rickysa2000 said, don't select a modem/kernel using Darky's Configurator when you flash 9.3.
My only SMALL issue has been when going into APPS and sometimes they won't scroll for maybe two/three seconds.
But it's still my favorite ROM so far (though it's only my fourth). Especially impressed with the dev's attitude and willingness to help!!!
[ROM] Darkyy's 10.0 Gingerbread!
I was just in the i9000 forum and Darkyy said he will have a flashable rom on friday!!! I hope we can get this ported for the Cappy.
Edit: looks like beta 3 is already available for the i9000. Got so excited I impulse posted...

i do not think the port will be coming anytime soon. Without source you can not have a captivate kernel. You can flash i9000 but no back button, and screen rotation, head phone jack, etc

Is there a fix, or different apk, for the email stock app (not gmail) that will fix the auto capitalization and auto complete? All other apps seem to work fine, but mail.
I am currently on Pinnacle 1.3 for Captivate, but had the same issue on Cognition 5, v1 and v2.
I saw there was a possible fix in the CM7 thread, but I tried to install it with CWM and it failed.
Thank you in advance for help.
Sorry if this post is in the wrong area, but I think I am okay. I have posted this question in the Cog and Pinnacle threads, but got no response.
Is it possible that no one else has this issue? Is it just me? Interesting that I have posted this several times, in different forums, and do not get a response?
Please reply if you do or do not have this issue. Thank you.
I have the same issue with the leaked 2.3.3 GB ROM. I haven't looked for a fix.
It is nice to know I'm not completely alone, but it is still interesting how few responses are here. Not sure what to make of that...
Anyone? Please... I have to get this fixed or I will have to bo back to early releases that didn't have the issue, which I really do not want to do...;-(
I really don't know. Only thing I would try is pulling the email apk from a froyo and using it on your ROM. I don't know if it will work or not.
