Has anyone even seen proof of a real froyo firmware for the captivate? One would think that at least an about screen screenshot showing froyo would have leaked out. Makes me wonder if Samsung has even started working on Froyo for any of the Galaxy S variants.

I wonder the same thing. It seems were close to Gingerbread releasing. I've been thinking they may not waste the time/money on Froyo and be on the leading edge by having Gingerbread OTA'd

I dont see that happening but lets hope so.
There haven't been any leaked Captivate specific Froyos. My take on it is that Samsung currently is putting all their development into the I9000, and once they've reached stability, or in Samsung's case the point where they think it's "Good enough" they'll use that existing body of code and port it over for the other SGS variants.
All of the SGS variants (with the exception of the epic) are VERY similar hardware-wise, as you know first hand from running I9000 firmwares on your handset irtehun . Once they have a working framework of Froyo it would be relatively simple for them to make some kernel based modifications and carrier based "bloat" and kick it out the door for the other handsets.

I can't help but think of the epix my wife had when thinking about Samsung and updates. That phone was slated to get winmo 6.5. Last I checked maybe a month ago it still said coming soon Haha. She ended up having to get rid of that phone because it was so buggy, but I'll never forget the horrible service from Samsung. I got this phone hoping they'd changed with all their promises.

I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on why my JIT my be locking up my phone. Once I enable it, it runs fine but every now and then my phone will freeze and do a reboot cycle. Yes I have HTC lockscreen disabled as well as sense. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

From what I understand JIT is very unstable at this point. Since FroYo has JIT built in hopefully we will be able to cook up a 2.2 rom when it comes out. Regardless I'll be on the Evo by then but I might still try to work up some Hero magic

Oh man, if I could get froyo on the hero that would be great. I'm giving the EVO some cushion time to work out any defects. I love HTC, but manufacturing quality has proven to be a slight issue in the past.
I tried pulling my log to see if I could find where the phones locking up, but no luck I'm thinking I've got something that doesn't want to play with JIT tho, cause I don't remember having these issues when I first flashed, but who knows.

True but that's my point. Whichever devs decide not to spring for the Evo should definitely be able to get it working. Let's just hope it works with our current .29 kernel. I have a feeling it's going to need something more since the kernel that comes with 2.2 is going to be .32. But you never know. We got 2.1 working with .27 after all.

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.

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

Its being officially developed for the vibrant and not the captivate, but it shouldn't be that difficult for us to port it, worst that could probably happen is us having to remap a few buttons and perhaps flash a new kernel

Thought that was for an Epic?
Anyways - whatever you do. DO NOT ASK THEM. They will push the release date out 24hrs.
I'm pretty sure that they are waiting for the "official" OTA from Samsung before they start really hacking at it.
And yes.. since most of the dev team seems to be on T-Mobile the Vibrant will be first.. shortly followed by other Galaxy S phones that are of similar hardware designs (Captivate, Fascinate). Personally I'm good with that... let the Vibrant folks beta test for me - so when its released for the Captivate most of the quirks should be worked out
I think the one that's going to get screwed is the Epic folks on Sprint. There is ONE person hacking at it so far.
Oh.. and Viralblack has posted a current "State of the Galaxy" post. Nothing for Captivate (yet).

Good idea..but we still need to show our numbers and support for getting it ported over..The stronger the response the sooner it happens as soon as the official 2.2 RC is out.

Also... hate to say this - but money talks and I hear the Dev's love extra beer money.
The more donations they receive from the Captivate side of things, the more likely they will develop a ROM for it.

Hello,
I was just curious to know if there was any way that the stock android could be installed on the Galaxy S? Like the Nexus One.
I am equally curious to know if the awesomeness of the hardware will do better if the customizations were to be taken away. I am not to keen on a MOD which merely strips out the Samsung bloatware. Just the plain vanilla android.
Cheers....
I'm sure someone will do it. We are all waiting on Froyo to be released before any work starts I'm guessing.

Any announcement on the official ATT Android 2.2 update? I have one of the Captivates with the random shutdown issue and I wanted to wait until the update is released to have ATT make the exchange for a new one...since that was supposed to be this month (Dec).
official 2.2 will be out for the captivate when pigs fly.
Although Endgadget keeps teasing us.. now states that the Epic 4g will really (no I mean really this time) get the 2.2.1 update in early 2011.
At this point I have no hope that AT&T will release one nor that Samsung will ever release the Source code so the devs here on XDA can put out an awesome release.

Samsung had tweeted that it would be by the end of the year. But a few have said ATT told them it wont be out this year.
In other words we probably still wont get it any time soon.
ATT is a bunch of liers. When I bought mine back in August, I bought it on there word that it would be out by the end of the year. Looks like I might be selling if they dont release it by the end of the year.

I would recommend to read up on how to Root your phone and flash a custom ROM. I have Cognition which is a froyo build. I have and have had froyo for a while on my captivate due to a custom ROM that probably works better than the official froyo anyway.

I run Cognition ROM, too, and it's great...but think how much better it would if the devs and an official 2.2 Froyo for Captivate to work off of.
It would be kind of hilarious is AT&T/Samsung jumped over 2.2 entirely and released a 2.3 version once that wide spread out int he wild.
Here is a new twist.... My wife received an email from Samsung today advertising that she would soon be able to enjoy Media Hub on her Captivate.
From what I've heard, this goes hand in hand with 2.2, doesn't it?
I think we're supposed to get it october of 2010
Indeed its only available on froyo.

I don't want to extinguish any hopes people may have, but I do not believe 2.2 is required. If I remember correct the Sprint Epic had MediaHub activated by a stand alone update right after it released. It released with 2.1, so pretty sure they can release it packaged in with 2.2 or just release a stand alone update to activate it.
I am sure if they release it as a stand alone update before Froyo, it will really frustrate Captivate owners even more. So hopefully its coming packaged in Froyo.
