JPY Based ROM Request - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking for a rooted flash-able JPY based image. Preferably de-odexed. I just like to do my own customization for my phone. Do not care for what modem or kernel, cause I can change them both. Thanks in advance for any help.

Check out the i9000 forum and use a reorient kernel from here.

Download the rom from sam firmware. Unpack it. Open the .rfs files with Magic ISO. Deodex it with xUltimate.

He can customize a rom, but needs help finding one... no words. Lol

Kernels/Modems

Hey guys I'm really new at this, can some someone explain what a Kernel/Modem is. I know what the Kernel is used for but, there are some many different Kernels that people use and I have no idea on how to pick which one is right for me. Currently I'm running Cognition 3.04 with Stock Kernel with Voodoo Lag fix.
a modem deals with signal and data speeds (different modems work better for people in different places) i9000 modems can only be used with i9000 roms and vice versa for the captivate roms (cognition)
modems thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835272)
a kernel deals with drivers (not 100% sure) oc/uv (overclock, undervolt), free ram, and tweaks that make it faster/smoother.
gb's kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887315)
seitron's kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828052)
if you want more clarifications just ask
ok so with my current configeration, ,I can run any captivate based rom right?(im running cog3.04) and say I wanted to try those i9000 roms I have to change my modem not my kernel, correct?

When you flash a rom it will change the kernel and modem
Any i9000 will come with compatible modem and kernel
Oh ok I see so just flash the rom, thanks for the help, greatly appreciated.

Can modems be flashed?

I have been using Andromeda for about a day and was wondering a few things. Can different modems be flashed through CWM and if so, how? Also the kernels, can they be flashed through CWM? WHICH IS BETTER, URSA MINOR OR URSA MAJOR? I would appreciate the input.
Sent from my Samsung SGH-i897 now running Andromeda 2.1!
Both modems and kernels can be flashed in clockwork.
Not sure which is better but I believe one allows for oc
There are modern threads with cmw zips in development

Yes.
Reboot to Recovery>install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>modem of your choice

Yes. I personally use neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher...it's in the Market.
Sorry wrong device.
Thanks for all the feedback. I have the SGS flasher but what unfamiliar with it so I haven't used it. I will once I have enough know-how.lol

[Q] Oxeded - deoxeded: noob question.

Hi guys.
probably this is a noob question.
Btw i didn't find a thread to explain my doubts.
I have a stock jvp with cf root and ext4 partitions.
1. I know the meaning of oxeded and deoxeded, but i don't know which roms/mods/updates can i use first (oxeded? deoxeded?). Can i have an example/guide for first mod i have to run?
2. I have to put a oxeded mod before? or viceversa? is the same procedure to put a oxeded or a deoxeded mod?
Thanks in advance for help guys, probably these questions are very easy for you. But without learning bases i can't do anything
Hi, as you know the meaning of odexed/deodexed, let's know that there're deodexed ROMs, i.e. roms, that have this feature implemented. So you'll have your apps fully deodexed when flashing your phone with any custom rom with "deodexed" feature in their list. There're many of them, I like Juwe's, Darky's, F1 and Ficeto's stock ROMs. But there're many other cool variants, so it's yours to choose one. Good luck with flashing)
If the rom your using is deodexed you use deodexed mods, which is pretty much all of them. If you are using an odexed rom use only odexed mods. Pretty much every custom rom is deodexed and Ramad has a collection of pre deodexed stock roms available for cwmhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790 and since you already have cfroot installed it is quick and easy using cwm to change to a custom or just deodexed JVP rom.
Hope this helps
Ok, thanks guys. I begin to understand something more. So, for example, if i want a deoxeded rom, just have to flash it by odin as i do with a standard rom? and then to install deoxeded mods i like?

Can the apk be mixed between the different builds? ie can I put odexed files on deodexed build?
Sent via ET and he phoned it in
I don't think it works. I put just an deodexed update to my stock rom some days ago and the phone didn't start anymore. I had to reflash the rom. Obviously, my bad, i didn't made a backup...otherwise i think a restore is enough.

Umm, you can flash deoxdexed roms via odin, but it is easier to do so through CWM which CFroot(the kernel you have) has built in so you can just chuck a custom rom or deodexed stock rom on your sd and flash it. Be aware odin and cwm take different files and aren't cross compatible. Most custom roms are in cwm form and will say on the thread. From there you should only use deodexed mods. So if the rom is deodexed use deodexed mods, if it isn't use odexed mods. Have a bit of a search around about cwm and more info on what odex files are and do.
Ok. just the last thing: The rom shall be flashed by cwm with "install from sd"?
thanks a lot for help, i appreciate people as you that helps full noob as me

Yep, install from SD, good to do a backup of your current rom which can be done in recovery and go back to rfs from ext4. You can hit the thanks button if you want
First tings first, deodexed and APKs with odex file can work together in system, I use them right this moment.
After reading about what is this all about, conclusion is that odexed system is better, only advantage I found stated about deodexed system is theming ability.
So I decided to try to theme new 2.3.4 odexed stock ROM, and guess what?!
It works!
So now I can't find not one advantage of deodexing ROM.
BTW odexed system is stated faster, so doing file system conversion (lagfix),
and deodexing is like adding + and - at the same time.

[Q] Anybody from Newcastle (UK)?

hello guys,
I am looking for someone who is able to flash my friends Samsung galaxy s i9000. It has still the Froyo software on it. I successfully flashed my to ics but I am not able to do this with the other device. It has a strange basebuild no. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anyone help me? I would be really thankful.
Cheers
Is no one able to help me?
The baseband is the modem. Should make no difference to which rom you flash. Is it on eclair, froyo or gingerbread?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sorry, just noticed you've said froyo. You just need to flash stock gb rom, then the semaphore kernel to match for cwm and root, then you're good to go for any custom rom you wish.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
This smartphone has JM1 installed. Sorry but I am an absolutly newbie. I only was able to flash my one with a step by step guidance.
I haven't found anything about JM1 How to flash etc.
I am a little bit desperate now ....
Search for a stock gb rom (jvu/jw1 are recent) with gb bootloaders and follow the flashing instructions using odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sorry, where do I find something like this? After flashing with Odin I will be able to put ICS from teamhacksung on it?
See perka's jvu thread in dev section, there is an odin flashable download.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Once flashed, boot up, turn off, then flash cf-root kernel for jvu - use the search function to find thread or go to read first couple of pages of perka's thread for a link.
Once you're rooted, you'll be good to go.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Is it this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ?? You mean JVU is compatible with JM1?
Thank you for your help!
If you're friend needs a rom i'd start by either flashing Darky's ROM 10.2 RE with full instructions including a vid tutorial on that thread
or
Flash Jetpack v8.2 with instructions and a vid tutorial in that thread.
The reason why i recommend those two ROMS, is they're particularly easy to flash and have good support.
I'd start with Darky's ROM and then move to other ROMS from there if you want, because it's a fast, very stable rom with a brilliant community for support. Plus you dont need much expertise to flash it, and it comes packaged with root and clockwork mod recovery installed, so you dont need to do anything to prepare your phone for flashing. This ROM does it all. If you wanna move off from there, well then you're all set. But if you're friend just wants a fast stable ROM, then he's all set with Darky. If he wants a bit extra speed, then move to Jetpack V8.2 it's stable and no bugs and its very fast and features thunderbolt! tweaks preinstalled, which are custom tweaks written by a guy called pikachu01 and they improve the SGS very well. They dont require too much expertise to install, but this saves you hassle and gives you all those added benefits from thunderbolt!.
If you're really keen on this teamhacksung ICS build then go to the darky rom and then from there install teamhacksungs build. Just make sure you read carefully to know what you're doing.

Flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then flash a custom kernel like semaphore. After that you can install ics.

CyanogenMod 10.1 + Semaphore 3.2 + Modem kk4 ?

hi all
is possible to use cyanogenmod 10.1.3
with semaphore kernel 3.2.0 and modem Radio-CM7-ICS-KK4-Captivate-signed.zip ??
I am interested in KK4 modem
CM10.1 is Android 4.2.2 based ROM, Semaphore 3.0.0c is the right kernel.
Default CM10.1 UGKG3 modem works well in most places, why you want to change it?
I see mobile data works better with KK4 modem, in my country.
OK, I never had to change a modem, so wait for someone with more experience to answer this question.
Thanks for your comment

Changing modem is probably the most basic thing when it comes to flashing. Your ROM/kernel and bootloaders don't depend on it.
So flash away, you can flash whichever you want and as many times as you want, all it affects is your connectivity.

Ok tanks, i test kk4 ICS modem.
I should mention that you gotta flash the right modems zips. I believe it's the I9000 zips for the cappy (unless it changed since i last used my cappy).
