Anyone know if it's possible to port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835540 to the JJ4 cog versions. It's animations and look are great for the speed of cog.

as of version 2.4, I believe Cognition is based on JK2.
http://ponack.net/designgears/
oops, seems like he has reverted back to JI6/JJ4... nevermind
I'm sure he has his reasons for preferring JI6/JJ4 over JK2, but JK2 can be "ported" as it's own ROM if you'd take the effort.
Looks doable, I think official froyo is about to drop but I may try this because the vibrant roms don't have the limitations att imposes like a lack of tethering.
Find one of the deodexed jk2 roms mentioned in the thread that this theme is compatible with, flash the rom and it should boot, a few things will be out of wack like the back and home buttons. And some other things, I cant remember exactly what though.
If it does boot you are half way there, now odin flash a captivate kernel and modem.bin or a kernel modded for use on the captivate, setirons gt I-9000 kernels are nice but drain battery with certain modem files and I don't know how a vibrant rom will fit into the modem.bin switcheroo that is suggested to get all the att bands working. For that reason I recommend a ji6 or jj4 kernel and modem.bin but if you do that you will need to use a kernel that has a 2e recovery our clockwork recovery added in to be able to flash the theme.
If the phone doesn't boot after the vibrant rom is flashed you may need to try flashing to stock then a 2.1 vibrant rom.
You can also try the 2.4.1 cognition rom but I don't think it works with the theme you posted. Worth a shot though. There is also a version of the darkness theme for the cognition rom.

Forgot, before you start I'm assuming your phone is rooted and has jj4, use adb or root explorer to get the swype.apk(not certain if it's needed, depends on the build.prop) and the camera.apk (i believed it had more options and settings) and save them to a safe place like an external sd card or home computer. You may also need the captivate build.prop, dunno with the vibrant build.prop you might not need the jj4 swype.apk, I'm not sure if there will be any I'll effect from using one build.prop or the other.

With the 2.1 reorient kernel?
Just put the zImage file inside the .zip.
V6 should be OK.
Word of advice, the new JPA on the i9000 has a new modem (JPP).
I will not port v7 over until the modem is confirmed to be working on the captivate. I don't have all the resources available to me to test the modem.

hijack thread for my own "if possible"...
there is alot of good developments going on over in the i9000 forums and while roms are one thing alot of these rely on a completly different kernel to be flashed. im pretty sure we cant just flash the reorinent kernel ontop of these and expect it to work and i noticed the super optimized kernel in the i9000 is JUST the zimage so thats just not going to work. is there some crazy ass way to integrate our reorient kernel into some of these optimizations? seeing all this good stuff pass me by is driving my ocfd nuts

ive seen a lot of those optimizations too and your right you cant just flash the reorient kernel over an i9000 rom and expect things to work exactly like intended for that rom because that roms kernel will be completely wiped when you flash the reorient kernel. the reorient kernel does generally fix all the major problems youd have if you didnt flash it, but then you lose the things that that kernel was built to do. i think the biggest reason a lot of these havent been implemented yet is because there is no source code for our 2.2 kernel yet.

I am surprised this still gets asked??
The re-orient kernal from xcal is exactly there for that reason. It makes it possible so that we ATT captivate users can take advantage of the European i9000 roms from the SGS i9000 forums.
These are the requirements for the i9000 cooked roms to work (this is not the only way to do it but it is the easiest)
1) the i9000 rom needs to be in ZIP format so it can be applied via clockwork recovery (most of them are: Doc/Kalpik, Darky, Tamatuya)
2) your current rom/recovery needs to support 2e recovery and have the latest clockwork recovery installed
3) the re-orient kernal needs to be applied right after the i9000 rom is applied, meaning before you reboot the phone. Otherwise you loose the power button select key in recovery.
The latest version (v7) from Doc has caused FC's on the keyboard, so it is unusable for now. The modem as pointed out above may also not be compatible, so I would stay away from v7 and stick with v6 for now.

I'm sucessfully using JPP with V7. Using kernal 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #38. Using a lagfix called No RFS advanced ext 4. Using Vlingo keyboard from Samsung. I've been able to correct force closed apps by clearing their data caches. The only real problem I have encountered is the same one I have had with all the I9000 rom's I have tried to date-no audio on videos. Able to install zip's, lagfix and other add ons through ClockworkMod recovery.
Hey guys I have a rooted captivate running froyo. I want to try the Cognition v2.3b3 rom with lagfix, but I no idea where to start. Do I need to flash back to stock or can I just load the rom? Also I was wondering about overclocking, can I do that with this rom? Any help is appreciated. I am new to android, came from a unlocked iPhone this is way better! Thanks guys

you should be able to flash over but it is considered good practice to start from stock, also i think you need ji6 froyo before jj4 froyo which cog2.3b* are based on, so the accepted proper procedure is masterclear and flash jf6 from the one click installer get android id with android id changer, flash ji6, also a one click installer, and then flash cognition. all with odin. you can clockwork recovery flash cognition but it is another proceedure to root ji6. after cognition is installed reinstall android id changer and load the id from the stock rom.
i usually flash over without lashing to stock ect unless the flash over has issues. and overclocking is handled in the kernel you need to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828052
with odin, no .pit file needed just drop file in the pda slot and flash in download mode. overclocking is enabled by default so you need set cpu to manage it.
there is a link to an app to manage under volting, my settings are -50mv low and -75 high. it also handles the scheduler, i use cfq. anticipatory seems to work eqaully well. some suggest deadline and it may be better real world but i dont see it in benchmarks. and real world is too subject to placebo effect and coincidence.
this kernel also has a universal lag fix handled in clockworkmod recovery which replaces the stock recovery. best setting for that is no rfs jfs overkill but in the advanced settings disable bind to dbdata. it's fast! 17.299 mflops in linpack, and it's the first time that i have had a lagfix improve a linack score(at least it appears to)
Here is the steps that got me from ji6 2.2 to cog.
First if you don't already get titanium back up and back up all of your apps you don't want to loose and copy the file to your computer and remove external SD card if you have one.
Then i used the 2.1 version of odin one click to go back to 2.1 after that do a master clear then root your phone and down load rom manager. Using rom manager flash the clockwork recovory mod.
Next download cognition 2.3b3 then go back to rom manager and select install rom from sd card and find your cog rom you just down loaded and it will do the rest
Once cog is on your phone you can put you titanium backup file back on your phone and redown load titanium backup and restore all of your apps.

Check out the Cog wiki.

If you have clockwork installed, you can install over any rom. I would clear data to be on the safe side, though.

no you cant. it will only work if he has 2e recovery kernel. if it was the ji6 leak then it is running 3e recovery and no matter how hard you try, it wont boot into clockwork.
answer:
use the ODIN version of cognition. doesnt matter what rom you are on...
Ok so I am trying to flash cog via oden. I downloaded the file and am looking at the how to on the wiki but, in the wiki it says that all the files will be in the download Odin.exe PIT.pit PDA.tar PHONE.tar CSC.tar. The only files that I am seeing are the pda file the odin.exe and the pit file none of the other ones. Is this normal?

Cool gonna do it now. Will post results
Ok just flashed and that went well, but it wont let me open any apps. For example when I try to open up tibu it tells me I have to force close. I also dont have 3g
i dont know if there that is a common issue, but im sure you will need to reflash. you may want to flash to stock.
it's a multi step procedure and annoying but it is usually safer , i guess i got lucky.
i dont know for sure if you need to flash ji6 before cog 2.3b, design gears may have fixed that, i didn't read the details of why it was needed.
i would;
(optional)master clear, remove sim and sdcard. you will loose everything including titanium backups and posibly nand backups. master clear is done with the phone booted normally.
flash jf6
flash cognition 2.2 by meathod of your choice (so you have root and clockwork recovery)
flash cog 2.3b3 in clockwork mod recovery.
I don't know iflosing every thing is worth it for me, I really do want to flash this rom and try it out, but right now seems risky, I flashed back to froyo that I was running before. I thibk I'm going to do some more research and see what I can find. Thanks for all your help guys
Ok so I got tired of the problem with the random shut down, so I returned the phone back to amazon for a brand new one I already rooted it and unlocked it and side-loaded it already. Before I started to run custom roms on it, I want to ask you guys on here what ROMS that are "stable" as in many people have used it and gave feedback that their phone will not shut down or crash.
I also have suggestion that hopefully can be done on this forum, and that is if a mod on here or an admin can make a separate section under android development for just roms only, so that way it is not all jumbled up and mixed up with other mods, or any other development guides
Thank you for all your inputs!
If you want stability then go for assonance 5.0 with a no oc kernel (xcaliber's). It is very good with all features working.
I saw the Assonance 5.0 thread but I do not see anything about the non-oc/uv section... Is there anything extra that I need to do or just download the .zip and flash it using clockwork? Also will I get the swype keyboard and all the function that the stock have and better?
I am on assinance v 5 with xcal voodoo kendal non oc. What you have to do its flash rom, disable the lagfix, download the new kernel, flash in clockwork recovery.
I also changed the modem from jk3 to jl3 to try and improve reception and battery.
This all sounds hard, I am sure but it is as easy as what you did to root your phone. You just need to learn the steps

You don't have to change the kernel or modem. I did out of preference. I like xcal with voodoo more the the pre packaged kernel. I like jl3 more then jk3. The rom is fully functioning without the changes I made, and some may not like what I have done.
If you want to disable lagfix you have to get into recovery.

It's because of the MODEM.. Use a different MODEM.. Try UGJL2
ok im a total noob to andriod. I can pretty much do anything with a computer.. SO is it the modem driv er on the flash that isnt playing well with the hardware? How does one update the modem settings?
Thanks

Good place to find some if the modems that are available. You want modems that are cwm updates.
Down load modem, move file to internal sd of phone
Boot into recovery
Install zip from sd
Choose zip
Select the modem file
I would suggest jk4
ok loaded jk4.... no change if not worse.... Where can i dl the original fl6 for cwm.... This really sucks.. im thinking i never should have flashed

The downloads are all zips. You flash the entire zip. Did you pull the modern from the zip?
Get into recovery by long poss on power select recovery from extended power menu
Try putting your phone in airplane mode, then restoring service
well that didnt work either. the jk6 jacked up phone calls too. heres the current incarnation on ATT
firmware 2.2
baseband i897ucjj4
kernel 2.6.32.9
cognition 3.04
Market is dog slow... if it will dl at all... I cant use the original stock modem with the 2.2 upgrade can i.
jk4 not jj4. That is not the modem I said to try
Jk4
i did use jk4. that was the one that hosed everything up. i couldnt call out but could txt. i went to jj4 just to get it working again i cant find the original modem rom anywhere
Like the others said. When you download the modem it will be a zip file. Leave it as is and copy it to your phone. Boot into recovery, choose install zip from sd, choose zip file, navigate to where you saved it it and flash.
Be careful changing modems. I9000 modems dont play well with captivate kernels. Cog is pure captivate, so if you flash jk4 modem you should probably flash another kernel, ie, Firebird or speedmod.
I can assure you that if you are in a good service area, Cog 3.04 kernel/modem combo are great. I would personally flash back to stock and start fresh.

My suggestion is to try another rom or flag back to stock
That's what i think im going to have to do. I just got a full titanium backup done. Stupid question is there any way to flash back to original config with cwm or rom manager
Yes and no. you can flash the jh7ota package that can be found in the development section.
If you were going to do so you must didable lag fix first. I am not suggesting this though.
If you are going back to stock, I would use odin. Do you know what build phone you have, located under battery, something like 1008
sn r1xzc87098a no 1008 anywhere under battery
It will be anywhere from 1006 to 1012
ok gutting it and doing a reflash to 3.04... will see what happens.
odin
get odin 3 1 click downloader. put your phone in download mode. then click Start. that will reflash back to stock JF6 firmware. then once booted back up. put it back into usb debugging then hit master clear. that will completely wipe out sd and put stock firmware back on. its too easy. Now if you sent phone back in to samsung they will still know you hacked it. Because in october ATT sent a firmware update to JH7 2.1 update 1. to get it back on to be COMPLETE out of box. download samsung kies. and it will update it for you. poof. now there is an odin 3 one click for leaked captivate froyo. it looks like stock but has more options and its froyo. uses ji6 modem. works very good for me. just have to get super one click root 1.6.5 to root phone and enable app side loading.
I have been running firefly and apex. Each of them, when I flashed UCKB1 , I get reboots over and over. I just flashed the Continuum rom. Do all the modems have to start with update?

You need to match the modem with the kernel - if you're using an I9000 kernel (like Onix in Continuum), you need to use an I9000 modem. UCKB1 is an I897 modem, not an I9000 modem.
If you try to mix them, various bad things can happen.
EDIT: No, the modem filenames don't have to start with anything specific - they can be named pretty much anything.
Thx for the reply. I guess I'm getting in trouble by using SGS tools thinking that all the modems are compatible. So anything with a I9000 in the zip?

Probably, but like I said - the filename can be named anything.
Here's a good list of modems, broken down into I9000/I897 and 2010/2011:

(The year part doesn't really matter for compatibility - it's so you can see when it came out)
I've been running XXJVK for the past few days to test it out (on Continuum 4 + Onix 2.0.3), but among the others, ZSJPG seemed to give me the best performance.
Jk4 is a good starting modem. It.s an I9000 modem and is compatible with most all roms/kernals. Get stable then start reading the forum posted above. It will make more sense. It works well with firefly.
