Anyone has an .apk for the stock captivate swype? I uninstalled mine to try a new version. It didn't work but now TB won't restore the stock swype even though I backed it up.
I'm not sure which version comes in the stock, but you could download the latest Cognition and extract it. The version that comes in the v2.1.1 cog is 1.57.32.7688.
I would post a link but it even tells me I can't link to threads on this site. Just head over to Captivate Android Development and look for the thread:
[ROM]Cognition v2.1.1 | Voodoo, HSUPA, GPS BETTER, 3 BUTTON FIX, MTU 1492

Is there any way to downgrade 2.2.1 to 2.2?
Why would you want to?
Yes, there is, and it's not an easy one. And the update notification will bug you to no end. And judging by that you're running stock ROM, my suggestion - leave it as is.

I was using Universal Androot root on stock 2.2. The 2.2.1 OTA came through and after ignoring it for a few days, I accidently installed it. Now I can't unroot with Universal Androot, keeps saying "Failed! You still have the power, my lord.."
Now things like Rom manager do not work i tryed to restore to my 2.2 backup i made on rom manager before updating to 2.2.1 but nothings happen i tryed to flash the recovery,reboot into recover,fix permissions but it keep saying ''An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!'' ,
Search the forum for "Root FRG83".
There's a dedicated thread in Development.
There's a link to Windows app that roots easily.
You could also find the thread through my signature.
How hard is that?
You've been answered in one thread, you refuse to take a second to look, why? Do you expect someone to do everything for you?
I need to downgrade to 2.2 as well, since I need to do some testing on the AAC bug (which is fixed in 2.2.1, I think?).
Can anyone point me to a "vanilla" 2.2 ROM for the Nexus One? Or provide some hints on how to downgrade?
Thanks.

This is a great ROM, based on Google's Stock ROM (not AOSP) and using the stock kernel. It has a few tweaks, but retains a vanilla experience and is very stable. You want the first link called "FRG83D Stockbar v1".
If that is too much fro you, you can download the "Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox (No add-ons or tweaks):" . This version is 99.9% like the stock version, just rooted, deodexed (in case you would want to add a theme), and has busybox support.
The Dev is pretty good at answering questions and providing support.
EDIT:
Sorry, this is 2.2.1. I guess you are looking for a FRF91/FRF93 or FRG33 based ROM... Try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8037155&postcount=591 . It is an older versioin of the ROM above. When I was using it, it was very nice. Only difference is that the notification bar is black with white icons instead of white w/ black icons.

Thanks a lot! You rule!
Or you could just flash an official build from here: http://developer.htc.com/ ...
I tried flashing both the FRG33 Stock v1 (FRG33_stockbar_signed_v1.zip) from the xda thread, and Nexus One FRF91 system image (signed-passion-img-0713_FRF91.zip) from developer.htc.com, but I got a "E:signature verification failed" error when trying to flash them.
EDIT: I rooted the 2.2.1 using rageagainstthecage, installed Amon RA 1.8.0 and tried installing FRG33 Stock v1 again. This time it worked, I'm back on 2.2. Thanks!
So what I have done to date on my Captivate.
1. Updated to latest Froyo 2.2 using Kies
2. Loaded .NET and etc
3. Rooted using SuperOneClick. Thanks ShortFuse
4. Titanium Backup. Thanks Joel
5. Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine. Thanks Android Central
6. Captivate Toolbox. Thanks Bay_wolf
7. Installed wireless tether 2.0.7 Thanks harald.mue, ulfada
8 Pimped my Captivate- Thanks systoxity, nbs11, and other XDA developers.
Now I'm to the point to ROM or not to ROM. Everything is working great. Further I am hesitant about the possibility of bricking my phone. Should I go for it? What ROM to use? What program to get ROM on phone?
Many thanks in advance.

It really just comes down to if you like your Captivate the way it is. If you aren't happy with the performance you get from it then try a few out. I recommend Cognition for a stock like experience and Serendipity for the most stable and kept up to date ROM.
This really doesn't belong in this section. It should have been posted in the General or the Q&A sections.
Well what you have done in all those steps, other then Titbu is actually done in one step by flashing a rom.
If you pay attention to the steps your risk of bricking is minimal. Just read all the rom threads and see which one floats your boat. Cognition 4.1.1 is a very stable rom. Firefly is another stable rom. You might like Fusion also as that and Cog are based off the curren kcb1 release from att.
You will need odin 1 click to return to stock. You will have to download Rom Manager and install Clockwork recovery. That puts an update.zip on your phone that boots you into recovery mode so you can flash a rom. Once you put clockwork on the phone its best to copy the udate.zip to your comp or to an ext sd card so you can just move it over after you flash back to stock when you updated roms.
First and foremost is read as much as you can before doing anything.
Thanks for the brief input. It was not my intent to post in the wrong forum. I'll repost in the Q/A.
Pm a mod and have them move it instead of double posting.

The answer is Yes.
like they said above you could have done by flashing but you would still need root and rom manager first which if you already have 2.2 means flashing a kernel via .tar which used to mean odin but now we have neldars app. so it's not really one step, even on 2.1 noone is doing signed .zips that run in 2e recovery so you still need to root and install cwmrecovery.
basically roms have some nice features like getting rid of tw mms which many versions of have bugs and timing errors that can cause double messages or incorrect order of messages or in some cases messages to the wrong contact, if you dont have that issue now flashing a rom with tw mms may cause it or it may not. aosp mms is safer but only works with samsung lockscreens on some roms, watch for that if you like the puzzle piece functionality. but there may be many enhancements like removed bloat(unless you like the samsung bloatware) minfree tweeks, mobile ap which may be more stable than using an app for wifi hotspot, plus random shortcuts ect.ect. many of these things you can do but some are features of the base rom and require flashing, 2.2.1 baseroms are smoth as butter, especially the ones from china and 2.2.1 kernels will make the phone benchmark better.
then there is kernels which you can flash now without the rom, kernels can make the phone feel smoother and the screen brighter and better colors and add volume to the headphone amp which i dont recommend because mine clips at anything above the stock setting. also there is undervolt and overclock ect... i would recomend maybe a speedmod kernel or glitterballs work, some galaxy s phones can not exceed 1.2 ghz i dont know of anyone that cant overclock but for me 1.2 is 100% stable 1.28 is 90% stable 1.3 is about the same maybe a bit more stable and 1.4 is about 30% stable i can do it but need to be really carefull about what's running and for how long, not really usable. kernels other than glitterballs mat cause your phone to die while charging but i here the sucker punch kernel has a lower occurrence of that than past kernels. speed mod is not overclock and is safe and makes a big difference!
then there is modem.bins and gps. the two are related. if you have good gps now flashing a modem.bin can make that go away and vise/versa there isn't any rules as to what works/doesn't because every phone is different. but other than gps you need to match a captivate rom to a captivate modem. this is because on north american captivate roms changing the modem and kernel to a non captivate version will disable bluetooth calling.
then there is hsupa, it's a bit over rated in a good service area, my isp gives me about the upload bandwith at home that i get without hsupa, my home internet is fine for browsing but im not hosting any files. on the otherhand it may help in lower service areas somewhat or if you tether multiple devices. to enable huspa you need a non north american captivate rom and kernel and modem.bin, you need to decide if that is important and at a slight risk of losing some gps performance as it is so inconsistent it is hard to tell what may or may not work for you.
Moved to Q&A as not android development
I love di11igaffs roms and espyel roms they are better than stock froyo hands down id flash u wont be sorry

Hey I did the kb1 update from samsung and ill be going back to custom roms but I'm waiting for a stable kb1 build.

You should look at this post. I personally did method 3 with the leaked 2.2 version.
Don't forget to chmod after you have done your change.
Good luck

was running cog 4.1 but im just not a big fan of the kb1 modem so i wanted to go back to all my phoenix stuff but when i would flash to different roms the market and my tibu would never work. i changed around everything i could even rebuilt a few of the roms that i liked hoping to catch a bug but nothing. so now i cant get heimdall to work on my laptop used my brothers to flash it back to ji6 then kies'd it up to 2.2 and now i cant get it rooted and its annoyingly slow.
can someone post a APK. file for the stock captivate touchwiz launcher?! searched everywhere but i cant find it!TIA
Download Cognition rom, pull from /system/app. Closest to stock without going through Kies Mini.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
i know this is going to extreme but anyone have cognition who is willing to extract it and upload it?!?! damn i was running cog before but now i switched ! grrr
From Cog 4.4, the latest I've downloaded
thank you for going out and helping me!!! thank you!
I wasn't sure where to post this.
I have Kernerl version 2.6.35.7 Overcome-v3.1.0#16
Build number: Overcome v2.0.1-Hermes
Now the faq says don't update across versions 1.4 to 1.6, etc.
Can I update to the 3.1 Kratos? Or do I gotta do a complete wipe?
Yes and best idea is to backup then go ahead, though you can download the no-wipe version. Just don't cry to the dev if things don't work properly (go to their site, you'll see).
1.4/6 is the Froyo version of Overcome and 2.0 up is the Gingerbread version. You need Gingerbread bootloaders to get it working. As you have Hermes, a gingerbread rom, you can upgrade to Kratos.

Awesome ty for info. So titanium backup will be fine? Should I copy all my media off before I update?

NVM figured it out.
