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

mcord, I got the rom, flashed it but how do I disable the lagfix? Why do I have to download a new kernel and changed modem from jk3 to jl3? I thought it is all included in the .zip of the rom?

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.
Advanced lf options
Lagfix
Disable lagfix
Reboot
Select backup and restore
Done.
The stock kernel is an oc kernel and I.am not interested in over clocking

How do you use non-oc version with this rom? I heard several people complained about battery issue not lasting as long with the assonance?!? I'm trying the di11igaf's 3.0 rom
If you want a non oc kernel on assinance download this
http://etc.muteheadlight.net/android/I9000_reoriented_v2.2.1_bln.zip
disable current lagfix using steps listed above.
Go into clockwork recovery

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 thanks a lot for your help. Just to make sure before I do this. I did a back up using tibu, Im going to pull the sim, open odin, and flash. Is it really that easy or am I missing something? Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

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
Hi,
Currently I am running XFJP9(froyo 2.2) with supercurio's voodoo kernel with lagfix (Voodoo_stable 5.5 & ClockworkMod v2.5.1.3). Now i am planning to flash my ROM to XXJVK (2.3.3).
Now here's the question, do i need to disable the lagfix (covert back to RFS filesystem) before flashing? if its a must then please provide a link describing how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Disabling the lagfix before changing versions is ABSOLUTELY essential. The only time you can get away with NOT disabling lagfixing when flashing ROMs is when you are going to be using the same kernel or a different version of the same kernel in the new ROM. In this case (Froyo to Gingerbread) I would disable it no matter what.
With Supercurio's kernel I believe you need to go into Recovery and select Disable System Conversion and then reboot, but I have never used that kernel so I am unsure. Perhaps you could ask in the thread for that kernel down in Android Development.
Thanks for quick reply.
Only disabling the lagfix, i mean converting back to RFS file system will work or I need to flash back to the stock kernel before flashing to JVK ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Disable the lagfix, no need to flash back to your old stock, then follow the directions for the ROM...most require you to flash the new stock JVK ROM in order to install the bootloader, then flash whatever new JVK rom you wish as the dev suggests.
Just follow their instructions and you should be fine.
Hi guys, I'm new here and have been scouring the forums on how to do things but I keep getting caught with uncertainties.
I have an i896 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with a Rogers 2.3.3 Gingerbread installed.
I have rooted it with no issues and its also unlocked.
What I want to do:
1. CyanogenMod 7
2. Overclock the CPU
But what I don't know is...
1. Since i'm running a Rogers ROM, do I have to flash to an AT&T ROM then to any custom ROM?
2. I read the instructions on how to update to the CM7 ROM but every instruction I read says I must have Froyo/Eclair to goto CM7. So do I downgrade and if so, how can I do that? I tried and what ends up happening is the phone's reception bars have an X and data doesn't work either. In the phone About properties, states that the baseband is "unknown". I suspect I need something more than a stock Rogers ROM without bootloaders. I couldn't find a 2.1 or 2.2 stock Rogers ROM with bootloders.
3. For overclocking, I installed Voltage Control and Control Freak and neither let me overclock, the max CPU is 1000Mhz. I assume I need a custom Kernal to do this but haven't been able to find how to do this during the CM7 upgrade.
I just need someone to point me in the right direction on what order to do all this and whether me having a Rogers stock 2.3.3 ROM causes an issue. I've done a lot of reading on these forums so its not like I just signed up and wanted to know the easy way out. I simply want the proper way to do things so I don't repeat the same mistakes many people may have done in the past.
I have used Odin, Heimdall, Odin One Click, Super One Click for rooting.
Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction and help me achieve these goals!
You dont need to go back to Froyo, as GB bootloader is compatible. but you need CWM to flash CM7. you can use Rom Manager app to flash the CWM.
Just download CM7 zip file, wipe data, system and cache and install it using CWM. It comes with custom kernel so you can overclock it using those apps you mentioned. You can also flash Glitch kernel....
See that's what i've been trying to do but when it comes to installing the nightly rom in zip format, it tells me the signature failed.
Do I need to buy the premium version of rom manager or can I get away with the free version? I don't want to use my credit card, i rather wait until paypal is implemented with android market.
This is so frustrating...

You need to Odin flash a custom kernel that has CWM in it and then install the zip from CWM. I don't know if all kernels for the i897 are compatable with i896 just have to read. I

Ya that's what I don't know either...I read tons of threads where people with i896 Rogers roms tried to flash with AT&T based roms or i897 roms and either bricked their phones or made a mess that took much more to get them back to stock...problem is the people that have i896 roms here I can't contact until I hit 10 posts...so I'm here stuck until then...
Just flash a custom I897 kernel with cwm, once complete, yank battery, replace and button combo boot into recovery and flash the ROM. Whichever kernel you choose doesn't really matter as zip will flash a compatible kernel, the I896 and I897 are identical other than cosmetic branding.
I was on stock rogers 2.3.3.
Installed Sumari kernel. Booted into the sumari recovery, installed CM7 zip, the phone rebooted into cwm recovery, and continued installing.
It worked pretty smoothly.
okay so i flashed my phone with a stock 2.3.5 rom with CWM, but how do I update to CM7? When i boot into recovery the only option I have is reinstall package. Do i rename the CM7 zip file to update.zip and that should work? I'm so lost...
In CWM recovery you need to choose install zip from sdcard, make sure you are in fact in cwm recovery
Before you do that....you need to flash a kernel with Odin that has cwm in it...
Woo! that worked like a charm haha yea baby yea!! Thank you soo much!! i was so scared to flash my cappy going from Rogers to AT&T that it would brick the phone. Got CM7 with Glitch Kernel and overclocked to 1.4 sawweeeeet!!
Now time to fiddle around and customize!
Thanks everyone!!
So I looked all around and could not find this specific question. I upgraded the wifes cappy to the AT&T Gingerbread KK4 release via Kies the other day. I found a thread to assist in rooting which went fine. But for the life of me i cannot find how to get cwm on this thing without changing the kernel. I used a file based cwm on the sdcard when it was froyo that i would flash for use when needed and it would revert back to stock 3e after rebooting, that exist for KK4? She's insisting I keep hers stock as she's worried about it bricking so I have to follow orders lol!
U can't do the update.zip to get cwm like in eclair days because of the 3e recovery. If u want cwm on kk4 u gotta at least flash a kk4 kernel with cwm baked in. I have been using Corn Kernel version 6.03 and it is excellent.
Why do u want cwm if she wants to keep it Stock ? To flash different modems... U can't flash mods etc. because it is stock and odexed...
Just curious.
Sent by XDA Premium App
So I can flash clock mods and such from the kitchen, unless of course KK4 doesn't allow it. It did allow on stock 2.2 and worked just fine without issue. My thing with flashing a different kernel is I don't want anything that's overclocked or such on her phone.
What you need to do is get a kernel with CWM already baked into it.
So start with this. Flash the Corn 7.03 kernel. I used it for the entire day today with a great experience. It was just released today as well. This kernel has CWM already in it and works great with the stock rom.
I also suggest flashing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358180 This is Trusselo's: 【stock】【kk4】 rooted deodexed debloated rom. Its basically a stock version of the rom with root already in it. It is missing a few ringtones but who really cares about that. Its also stripped out of the stuff that slows your phone down and paired with the kernel it makes for a much better experience on the captivate.
So if you want stock this is about as stock as it gets with a mix of high performance.
