Custom Rom Options?

Hey everyone. I'm posting here because I have a friend with a Captivate and I'm trying to get him to root his phone.
I sent him the link to the 1 click root but I don't know what rom to have him flash. I have an EVO and in the EVO forums we have a sticky with all the custom roms listed so it's easy to see what's there. Is there anything like that for you guys?
He's basically looking for a stable 2.2 rom.

The Captivate DEV scene isn't too large right now, (most of them are in the Vibrant section) We have few custom roms, but the ones you can find, along with mods can be found in the Development section of Captivate.

This is very true. Most went to vibrant because they were ex-G1 users. However the good news is the most of the coding will be the same so they are relatively easy to port. I have a feeling the captivate will not be getting as much dev action, and most people are switching from windows mobile or iPhone and have no android dev experience. But it will eventually speed up

Don't have him flash a custom ROM just to flash a custom ROM. Right now there are a limited number of ROMs, and he can read up on them in the dev to see if there is anything changes in the newer firmwares that would make it worth his time to flash. AFAIK, there are no fully functional, stable 2.2 ROMs (although the leaked build for the i9000/international version does mostly work, I think). There are also a few leaked updates to the 2.1 firmware.

Yea, that's why I am asking if there are any stable 2.2 roms yet. But as I gather there aren't. I'll just tell him to keep his eyes open here.

I've been using Cognition 2.2b6 for about 4 months now with no problems. Seems to be the most stable rom out there for the captivate.

I've been using Cognition 2.3b3 for several weeks and it's working great, the only issue for me is the android email process crashes on startup, I use the gmail app anyway, so its a non issue for me... It took 3 or 4 days to get the correct order of opperations, it seems not everything you find on XDA works for every Captivate, I guess AT&T keeps disabling settings and crapware crippling the phone... But the order that worked for me was:
STOCK AT&T 2.2 FROYO:

I was gonna say perseption. Its really the most captivate friendly of the ports for other galaxy s phones. You get the reorient kernel with overclock undervoult, universal lagfix, clockwork mod instead of 2e recovery, and you get working bluetooth audio, normal batery life, multiple fonts, password/pin number/pattern security, other things i forgot.
Axura looks amazing but noone will answer my questios about bugs. And there is no known issues listing.

[MOD]Voodoo Lag-Fix for JK2 Based Froyo

1st of all.....this is not for Noobs, if u dont know what Voodoo is or even what root is, please click the back button.....
In advance, sorry for the anti-noob attitude LOL.....
The is the Latest Voodoo from the International Galaxy S that works w/ JK2 froyo on the Vibrant. I tested it myself. It works on any Froyo thats based on JK2 which is all of them so dont ask.. Its a file flashable ONLY in Odin. If you have Oclef's 1 click Lagfix already installed, u MUST disable it 1st.... If u try and flash ontop of having voodoo installed and soft brick your phone, its your own fault for not reasarching about voodoo 1st. Theres STRICT directions when dealing w/ voodoo. Theres a forum in here already made discussing Instructions on how to install and uninstall it so use the search tool. Do not ask for the link to the forum or the masses will flame u...
Again any soft bricking you do to your phone is YOUR own fault
Reading is fundemental
Otherwise, enjoy the sexiness of Voodoo for froyo JK2:

Thanks a bunch! does this include the sound and color fix as well? =]

yeah just have a disable lagfix file or folder in the sdcard/Voodoo/ directory and install this through ODIN, remove the disable lagfix file or folder and reboot.

hmm OP you should probably mention that volume buttons are reversed

i know you say all versions of jk2, but i'm running jk2 w/ 3e recovery. Will i need to change over from JK2 w/ 3e to JK2 w/ 2e recovery for this to work (as i've read recovery is somewhat tied to the kernel)?

Team Whiskey has released the stock JK2 kernel with Voodoo in their beta section. I'd imagine it will be publicly released sometime in the near future. The key mapping is not messed up since it uses the stock kernel. Patience young grasshoppers...

Hey OP, do you have a link to the original thread? i can't find it when i search...
EDIT: nm...found it. here it is for anyone else interested. https://docs.google.com/document/d/...HVMGpXheGc/edit?pli=1#heading=h.9bkg2u-i2ehea
FYI i read the whole page and it doesnt say anything about JK2. Also i says you have to back up your efs folder and i'm not sure how to restore that...so i would caution everyone to READ everything and be very sure they know what they are doing.

just wanted to check back in and say that i can confirm that this works on JK2. i installed it over Axura 2.0 and its working like a charm. i am by no means an advanced user, i just read and follow directions very well.
For those of you who care about numbers i got a 1533 quad score (sorry i didn't think to test Axura before voodoo so nothing to compare it to). i literally just flashed this thing so we'll see how it holds up in the future. so far though running very smoothly and responsiveness is great.
EDIT: also the volume buttons are reversed and home acts as back. not a huge deal for me.
EDIT2: also internal sd mounts as a CD drive, so you have to use the Media Player option to write to internal sd...which presents sort of a problem disabling it since the home key doesnt act as home. i just unplugged the usb to disable and it seemed fine though.
EDIT3: also this broke CWM for me. i got stuck in recovery and it just kept saying "finding update package" and just sat there. a battery pull didnt work since it just kept booting to recovery with that message. had to ODIN back to stock JK2. i wouldn't mess with this until its vibrant specific IMO.

you can extract the zImage from the CWM flashables, and then use heimdall to flash the kernel.
If you want and ODIN flash, you need to create a tar (not sure of the specifics, you could just copy the stock zImage into the voodoo odin tar and it'll replace the voodoo kernel w/ the stock kernel).

this is just the default i9000 froyo lagfix. the media volume does not make any sound with it, i have tried it before. along with all the other issues users have already posted. it is not suitable or meant for the Vibrant yet.

All it needs is to be ported for the Vibrant...everything else works fine. No colorfix tho

Anyone who has donated to team whiskey check out there forum. I have been running their froyo with ext4 voodoo for a couple of days with absolutely no problems. Not even in recovery. I'm sure it will be released soon assomeone else said earlier.

Team Whiskey's kernel is using Voodoo Beta 5, so yes it will work with the larger nand.

Dragon ROMs, direct to ext4 install, voodoo5

What is this? It's an experimental ROM install setup that avoids the use of RFS entirely. The install basically pre-voodoo's your phone. If you know you want voodoo, this is faster than installing then doing voodoo, but it's a little more complicated. Not much, but be warned. It avoids the use of RFS durring install completely, so no RFS corruption to worry about.
The ROM itself is mostly untouched. The kernel is my Dragon Kernel, i9k based, so it will eat your battery (froyo only, eclair is better as we have source). I can get about 12 hours out of it. Buy a charger.
The new version is a 1-click install. It installs the kernel, reboots into it, then auto-installs the ROM. I tested it coming from JFD without issues.
These are based on voodoo5 beta code. Curio is releasing voodoo5 stable here soon, and I'll post an updated no-wipe kernel flash for that.
The ROMS are Team Whiskey Obsidian, Onyx, and Fusion. I changed the install procedure and the kernel out, the rest is as they made it. I take no credit for the ROM. Please post bugs here however, so I can make sure they are ROM bugs before letting TW know about them. I'm running the Onyx version as my daily driver. There has been some private beta testing, and they seem stable, but do have Odin handy just in case. I have installed over the top of various ROMs, but the safest way is probably to come from JFD just to be sure.
ALL THESE ROMS WIPE. NO, I WON'T CHANGE THAT.
Obsidian V5b: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Obsidian-Installer-v1.0.zip
Onyx 4.2: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Onyx-Installer-v1.0.zip
Fusion Final: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Fusion-Installer-v1.0.zip
NOTE: THESE INSTALL VOODOO. ALL THE USUAL VOODOO PRECAUTIONS APPLY, IF FLASHING SOMETHING, DISABLE IT FIRST.
The latest voodoo stuff seems to play nicer and I have flashed things from clockwork without bricking, but just be warned.
Updates:
Kernel with the stable voodoo5 release. Should work with any froyo ROM, does not wipe.

Curious! So what's the true (RFS free) Quadrant score for Vibrant?

Can we have just a kernel flash that will convert all the partitions? supercurio's i9000 flash doesn't wipe the data, it simply tars it and then untars it back once the conversion is done to each partition. Thanks for the hard work.

The post is about the ROMs, but yes, the kernel update I'm about to post will convert an existing system to ext4 on reboot with the just released voodoo5 stable code.
It's the custom kernel I reference in the OP. If you want more than about 12 hours off charger, don't install it. I'm going to look at Eugene's recently posted source to see if I can implement whatever he did to get the kernel sleeping better, but no promises. And reports are kind of mixed last time I looked at it anyway.
When Samsung gets around to releasing source, we can do better. Till then, give me a patch or don't complain about it.

Froyo Kernel on Eclair?
ttabbal,
I did not know that a Froyo kernel could be backward compatible to Eclair. Is that the case, given that your Dragon 2.0 incorporating Voodoo 5 Stable will work with Bionix Fusion?
Please help me to understand this.
More to the point, I am on Bionix 1.9.1. Would Dragon 2.0 w/Voodoo 5 Stable work on my setup?
Thanks,
Bruce

Would love to use this, however i cant seem to get anything to install from the market no matter what i do. My TitaniumBackup restores just fine(apps only). Ive ODIN'd back to JFD twice but still nada. Ill try starting from JI6 and see if it helps.

So I'm running ttabbal's latest kernel, 2.0, and just ran a quadrant. It gets 1564 as the score. Now, this isn't just from voodoo alone, he's done a few speed tweaked which will bump up the score. But it's snappy as hell.
"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"

Just put this in my phone and its works fine I'm running axura 2.1 works fine but u will see a second boot up screen the benchmark test is not that high I got in the 2500 with the oclf inthe market download but can't do that one anymore it tells me I have one installed already but over all its smooth

Don't worry about benchmarks, they are easy to fool in a high level system like Android. Cyanogen managed to get something stupid like 10k out of Quadrant.
This setup isn't for being a benchmark queen. It's targeted at a couple things I deem important. Multitasking smoothness/performance, and a test of direct-to-ext4 install. The no-wipe voodoo kernel is really intended to be used as part of the whole, but like I said, it should work with any froyo. Note: NOT ECLAIR. If there is more demand for an eclair version, I'll consider updating my eclair ramdisk as well.
As for the market, couldn't say. It's NOT the rom/kernel though. The market is a finicky thing and sometimes just doesn't work. It's usually the server side or the app itself that has an issue though. There's also an update to Market for Froyo, it seems to be more stable. You should get it downloaded automatically after running for a while. To check, look at an app description, you should have a new tab "Related".
When I've had market problems, I fire up my Wife's G2 on a stock rom (not even root) and she does too, so it's not anything I, or anyone other than Google, can control.

Does anyone know whether the Dragon Kernel that works with any Froyo ROM available from the OP supports use of a BootAnimation.zip?
UPDATE: Thanks geoffcorey for the info!
Tried on Axura 2.1 with larger nand. Flashed, rebooted, converted with no issues and is running very well so far. Haven't been successful getting Voodoo to run before now.
Thanks to TW, ttabbal, Supercurio, et al.

I did this very thing in my post #16 above yours. Go for it! Remove any other lag fixes you may have though. I had none installed so I didn't have to do that. PERFORM A NANDROID backup and optionally copy to a computer before flashing the kernel to be safe. Restoring the Nandroid backup won't restore the kernel though.
The dangers are minimal if you backup. Permanently bricking the phone is unlikely. You may soft brick but you probably won't. PLUG IN AND DON'T TURN OFF THE PHONE UNTIL THE "TW" LOGO DISAPPEARS! Around this time, you will hear a voice say voodoo has been activated.
I believe the conversion process may attempt to revert the changes it tried to make in the event of an unsuccessful conversion. If reversion is successful then you should again have access to CWM to flash back to any rom you have stored on your phone. Use nandroid to restore your data and your back to normal.

first off this a tech demo and not a stable day to day use rom. You will not be able to use this normally on the phone (reagular reboots and instability) it was simply a taste of gingerbread for some devs here. I would highly recommend not flashing especially since you aren't really experienced yet. You should flash one of the many stable roms in the dev section, but if you insist on it, here is the thread for it:

I'm pretty sure you have to flash the 2.3 kernel for it to boot into gb. But as joeshmoe said, it isn't a good idea if you aren't experienced (I bricked a capivate trying to get this to work, seriously, it isn't a good idea). There's plenty of great froyo roms out and some nice gb themes, I'd recommend just taking that route.

Don't flash it. Seriously. Codeworkx/Coolya were digging through the source, and the nexus s kernel source has differing voltages than the galaxy s. ie, it can actually destroy parts of your hardware. Wait a couple of weeks, the rc for CM7 should be out by then.

well i dont plan to use the rom long term just wanted to flash to it and mess with it then probably switch back to a froyo rom shortly after. but having an issue getting it to run. if i download a kernel with voodoo and run the lagfix to ext4 then flash the rom should that get it up and running?
edit: went ahead and flashed perception and then the rom, reboots constantly, so looks like ill go back to perception and tough it out with a gingerbread theme. Gonna miss that lock animation.... ok now anyknow know how i get back to recovery mode, or do i have to flash back to stock? and reroot?

Going from gb to froyo

If I want to go back to froyo can I just flash it like I normally would or is there something else I need to do? I'm using i9000 gb bootloaders by the way.

you must have a way to get froyo/eclair bootloaders onto your phone. The most common way, that has always worked for me is Odin3 1click. It will take you back to stock 2.1 eclair, then you can flash froyo roms without issue. (don't use the 3-button fix version - you will brick)
search before you post though. you may have a moderator on you about this. This information is all over these threads. Good luck.
