hi! i was wondering if someone could make a classical gas metamorph for the captivate!
i looked all over and it seems they are either NOT compatible with the captivate or they do NOT exist so if someone could port one over the captivate that would be awesome!
and im SURE im not the only that wants this

Maybe after cyanogen is up and running and we are free from samsungs framework. Give it time, cyanogen is in early beta and doesn't do much more than make phone calls right now.
After that a port should be no different from any other phone

Has anyone tried this on the captivate? I'd like to install via Metamorph, but I'd like success stories first. Thanks

You are the one who is interested in this. Make a Backup, install your theme, if it works great, if not, just restore to your back-up. There is no fear of bricking your device. Dont be expecting people to just install things to see if they work for you. This is a community everyone should contribute!
Thats awsome logic, however i have no knowledge of how to even make a backup, much less get a successful one. Ill be the first to admit, too, that im not very android savvy yet when it comes to the mod scene, and if something messes up, the forums would explode with me asking questions on how to fix my phone. Im also not going to loose my job because I have to explain to my boss that I bricked my phone because I wanted to make it look different. Im not a developer, im a user, and i cant afford to blindly walk in to something without knowing side effects.

You dont need to be a developer to do this. I recommend you check out the PMC (Pimp My Captivate) guide posted in the general sections for the captivate. Also, if your new to the mod world and xda in general, I will be the first to say welcome. We have a great community of moders, users, and developers here who are extremely helpful. Most questions probably have been asked, and answered already. Use the Forums search feature to see if it has been, or if you want to learn how to do something search it, there are a TON of guides on the forums about moding and developing!
For making a backup you can do this, by going to the Android Development Section, and Reading the ClockworkMod Custom Recovery
its simple and easy for making sure you never brick your phone!
got me curios ill do it. reply when i get home.....
ok it installs fine over TwLauncher but not launcherPro. now you just have to find some themes that are made for 2.1 eclair rom. most of what i found was for CyanogenMod. don't know anything about this mod but i hope this helps some one. i now think this is of intrust to me too. so if we could get a captivate tut for this thing (past instillation) like actual installing of themes that would be great thanks.
Yea metamorph works fine some times it bugged out with ADW when I first start up the phone but other than that metamorph works great. I'm using the evo blackbar mod.

Same I am using the Evo blackbar mod and LOVE IT!! I would LOVE to do more with the phone, especially something like having the HTC sense ui on my Captivate.

I second that. I installed it over Touchwiz and LauncerPro and I didn't see one change that it made. The only metamorph change that has actually ever worked for me is the Evo black bar mod.
will some one pleas port this because it cant be to hard because the droid and the droid 2 are almost the same phone the olny difrence is the soft touch buttons,the prosser and the system partitons and how cool would it bee to have the droid 2 blur on the droid 1 so if some one is up to it be redy to do the easyst portting ever

Why not just use launcherpro. That should get rid of it.
ive got a port on my milestone, maybe the port can assist droid users as well somehow, if the right people try?
only problems i see, is that we need 512MB memory, and droid / milestone got 256MB which cause it to show many "Low memory" errors in the logs.
but becides that im sure the droid 2.2 kernel can easily be used with droid2 and solve problems i see when using it on a kernel 2.1 on milestone...
you are soo lucky!
i am very interested in your work dexter could u or someone els point me in the right direction to porting this to droid i tried porting your motosense to my droid because it looks like it works way better than zd well lets just say that failed badly but it would be great if u or someone els gave me some instructions on how to port this cant be that hard right almost all of the hard work is done thanks for your work
I like how the title of this thread is says "ported" as if someone did it..naturally I got excited. Boy was I let the hell down.
ya sory about that but it gets peoples and devs attention so it will happen

No, it misleads them, thus pissing them off.

The easiest port ever was probably the Desire ROM to the Nexus One, research before you write.
I've been asking to get Blur ported from the X for a while but no one has done it. Its to the point where i might offer to pay someone to do it.
i was talking to jamezelle on twitter and he said h might just do it some time but not untill sense ui 2.2 port is finished and let me sayit is great almost a daly driver so the guy isint dum and knowes how to port and theres a port for the milestone so it will be really easy

I know, right?!
if only this really did get a devs attention. Maybe we could get jamezelle to help wen he finishes his sense rom...
he said he knowes how and it allredy has ben done for the milestone so all of the hard work is all done
wait, the blur from the d2 or dx, or the old motoblur?
I was thinking about porting it, but its only 2.1 so its pointless.
Well looking around in the HeroC Section there are a lot of 'Wallpaperless' (transparent) Lockscreens which i realy like But the trouble is that they are all at 2.1 and will not work on 2.2 / GSM heroes, it's like the one vilain rom has on Super Vilain (seems ages ago now) and im wondering could this be done for Froyo on our heroes? Has someone already done it? Or how could i go about this my self and edit the services.jar (The file required to be modified for this to happen thanks

Often the XMLs are very similar so you'll probably get something out of it
looking for a droid 2.2 custom rom that works with metropcs i have tried simple,zen,fusion, but once i did the droidflasher program for the wap.mms i got noting... I currently have smokedglass v6.0 with an adamz kernel and everything is working...web...mms....market...etc. i know that i need one with iptables so i was wondering if anyone out there knows of one that works or even just a push in the right direction, not looking for free answers just a little help. thanks!
hey dude i had the same problem i tried bugles beast and nothing... i also have the droid flash from too n cain and that didnt help at all for 2.2 kinda sux that the program is useless with 2.2 so i tried a bunch of stuff and the one that worked for me was sapphire-1.1.0-droid also instead of using the droid flash i used the nv u get from white rabbit as soon as i loaded the nv files i got the 1x thing after that i had to use anycut to get internet. so now i have internet but no mms. funny thing is that i am trying to flash another droid with the same things and no luck getting the 1x but i hope it helps u. also set up with qpst that helps n remember to use the spc
Yea that kinda sets me on the right path I will see what I can and and try to get that one working with mms thanks man!

I know that there is one I know this guy but he won't tell me just yet... yet was just like you'll get but I haven't ! But yea when I figure it out I will let ya know and I'm going to start messing with the sapphire rom and yea I knew about the mobile+simple ip but thanks for the tip
They are basically the same specs, the Nexus S and captivate. It shouldn't be too difficult for the devs to port it, right?

I am a developer. Good in Java/C and very interested.
I have also never worked on ROMS and ROM port before.
Can anyone give me soem guidance to get started? I basically need 4-5 lines of high level tasks for the port and I can do the work in my free time.
I have already installed Android SDK with Eclipse on my desktop and can download the Nexus S zip and other firmwares if needed.
I am ready to put in effort and am not looking for any donations (notice there is no donate button). Just want to given back to community

It's not impossible, but there are a few different things that must be looked at...
Gyroscope support
MoviNAND chip
NFC Chip
and so on.
I hope it is possible though.
