I'm working on the VCK over on the Vibrant forums. Read about it here.
I'm trying to gauge if there's interest for this on other Galaxy S phones.
What would happen is there would be a separate tab for the Captivate where I could add devs/categories to.
Devs would then build their lists and the program would automatically reflect the changes.
Why it might be useful: it's an extra way to get your product out there, and a good way to store all the mods/themes for your ROM in one place. The program has the ability to zip up APKs/files in its queue and make them a flashable zip, or it can just directly download files from a web server (for ROMs and other already-made flashables).
It's great for noobies to add any bloat they might want back as well as other things. Plus, it's good for making blank flashable zips for quick modifications, and the like.

Instead of a Repo tab, if there might be a Vibrant tab & a Captivate tab (and maybe any other phone that has interest).
They key is community involvement. I don't have a Cappy nor do I have the time to live on all Galaxy S subforums to keep up with all the modems/apps/roms each phone differs with
Thanks for reading~
yup

I like it
It sounds like a good idea since no one seems to want to commit their roms To rom manager.

what do you mean by "commit" their rom to rom manager? Can it not just simply be listed on there?

One of the reasons for the rom manager not having the roms is that most will just flash the rom without thinking (happens far to often) and if the bases changed say from a 2.2 base to a 2.2.1 base and you flash the rom without going to stock first you could end up in a boot loop or even worse a brick. That option was added for HTC and others that are far more open to flashing then the galaxy s line. There are far to many "I bricked my captivate" threads due to people not reading and understanding what they did or didnt do to cause it. Most people are only interested in making their phone cool and not what is really going on when they flash their phone. So I am personally glad that they are not listed in Rom manager.
I actually like the idea i would definately love to see it
one question, you can add different themes, modems, kerenels, ect to the app? so you have like your own rom kitchen on your computer?
I say Hells Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I just typed for 20 minutes on this reply and then accidentally closed the tab before posting. ;_; So let's try this again. It's probably going to be a bit shorter this time around, 'cause I don't wanna spend another 20 minutes, but mkay
I'm pretty new to all this, and while I think I have a decent idea of what to do, I want to make sure I'm going to be doing everything right the first time around
I was planning on doing the following:
1) install the 3 button combo fix
2) install clockworkmod recovery
3) install speedmod
4) install a custom rom
Now I have some questions regarding all this Probably very newbish questions, but alas, here goes:
1) clockworkmod=clockworkmod recovery right? same thing?
2) if I installed clockworkmod, could I still use Odin if wanted to?
3) radio, rom & kernel are 3 different things, ive been told by a friend with a HTC Hero. but I only see custom versions of ROM and Kernel for the SGS. Does that mean it's different for SGS users? how I should see this?
4) with clockworkmod I could put a backup stock rom into place to flash to in case I ever have to send my phone back, right?
5) custom roms dont include custom kernels right? since when I read custom rom threads they sometimes list kernels, as if they're included or something. confuses me. they're 2 entirely different things to install, right?
I think that's about it. Am I missing anything? I mean, is there anything I could/should do as well?
Hope you guys can help me

oh and bump
Hey there - I just bought my wife a used Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (I9000M) and it came with a custom rom / cwm recovery already installed - now I'd keep it as it seems to work ok, but since it's for my Wife, I'd rather just return it to stock as she doesn't need all the custom rom enhancements I don't think.
What i'd like to do is return it to a stock Samsung ROM - or at least something really close to stock. (Something that has all the stock Samsung apps maybe?) I'm not familiar at all with the rom that's on there so it may be the best one available, I have no idea. This is my Wife's first Android phone and I'd rather not turn her off of it because of some custom roms issues.
My problem is that I'm not sure how to go back. I've read a bunch of articles on here and I just got confused since there are so many different modems and regions, or whatever. I'm not a total noob with custom roms, I've put dozens on my Dell Streak, but the Samsung seems to be a bit more complicated (to me at least). If someone could help me by listing the steps required to go back to stock or if they can recommend an optimized stock rom, something like that, I'd really appreciate it.
Here's what I have on there now...

and there you have to pick the file with UGJL2 firmware, download, doubleclick to extract it and then just follow the instructions in the thread fireburn postet.have fun
I run doc 9.9.5 myself, JS8 2.2.1 is a better ROM than JL2 2.2 and the speedmod kernel is also better than stock...but whatever.
I have all the Samsung stock apps on mine (not the Bell ones, don't really need them unless you pay a ton for mobile TV), but whoever cooked that one up might have left them off.
Thanks a lot folks! I might just look at possibly cooking another rom that has all the standard apps in it.
I did notice something that doesn't work in my current ROM, when I connect the USB cable, the option to mount the sd memory as a mass storage device isn't available. Does anyone else have that issue (or have you seen it before)? Do you think cooking a new ROM up in the kitchen would resolve that or do I have to go back to stock for that feature?
Thanks,
Steve
Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Don't know what setting it could be on now but change it to 'mass storage'
I'm usually pretty good at these things but I thought for once in my life, I would take the backseat and actually ask for some pretty simple technical help.
Details for my Note that I purchased from NewEgg.ca:
- Baseband version: N7000UBKK1
- Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000UBKK2-CL705203
Can I upgrade to any of the different carrier specific ROMs (listed here)? Does it matter about which part of the world I am in (Canada in this case)?
Will there be language issues? For example, I upgrade to a German carrier ROM.
Do I need to root the phone to be able to upgrade to any ROM? Or, do I only need to root to upgrade to a specific ROM?
I assume that the baseband version (as listed in Settings > About phone) is my ROM version. Is this true? If so, where does this ROM come from.
As you can tell, I'm asking some pretty basic questions by xda-dev standards. I apologize but would greatly appreciate some answers.
Cheers!

You need to install clockwork mod recovery, then gain root, then you can MAKE A BACKUP and flash a ROM that looks good to you. Read read, and read again every post in every forum you go in... it'll save you a lot of trouble in the long run. As far as languages go, it may come up in a different language but you can switch it to English on the first screen. Any question you have will have already been asked in the forum you are in so use the search function to get answers before asking and getting flamed. Good luck!

You're right. I read through some hefty length threads and I have a better understanding of these things, that's for sure. To confirm my sanity, riddle me this. I don't need to root in order to upgrade to the latest stock ROM that was recently posted. Rooting simply gives me access to other features (such as titanium backup, etc).
yes,You're right.
We don't need root access to install and use CWM but it is required to do other most customizations,like spoofing your device's name by editing build.prop,changing font,LCD density,increasing battery life and the list goes on to other interesting stuffs

Dead on. I know there is a lot of "rooting will void your warranty" that goes on and it may be true... but out of 5 phones I have had rooted that I exchanged I never once had an issue. If your jumping on the Android train you might as well jump in head first! I came in a couple years ago with zero knowledge of this OS and studied my way through until being quite proficient. It seems like a lot now but it will become natural after awhile. Also, you can PM me with any questions you have and I promise I wont flame you... I have walked a lot of people through it.. I own a Mac/mobile device store in my town and help people all the time.

Hello! Well, since we don't have Fastboot files, I've scaled back ideas for a ROM, and created this. Please keep in mind, THIS ROM IS FOR SAFESTRAP SAFE MODE ONLY.
You know the drill. If you break your phone, I am sorry, but you can't hold me accountable.
Honestly, it's pretty pathetic as far as custom ROMs go. It's based on the stock Safestrap that Hashcode provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528557
I basically just went to work trying to get rid of as much as possible. I stripped out a bunch of the Motorola apps and Verizon apps, and anything you can easily download from the market. The only significant things I left were Music, MotoPrint, the Blur Gallery (because I wasn't sure the effect that removing this would have on the Camera). I also got rid of Motorola's Car Home and added the stock one. For those of you who don't have official car mounts, you'll find Car Home now listed in the apps. I removed the Blur Home, and dropped in Zeam.

I welcome feedback, ideas, and suggestions. I would love to figure out how to get 1% battery increments, toggles in the dropdown, replace that horrible Blur Gallery, and in general, continue to try to de-blur the thing.
I look forward to hearing from all of you. Good luck, and happy ROMing!

Once you install to the second system, SafeStrap will continue to boot to that system until you switch it back.

sorry but if you want more hits, you have to actually make something different in some kind (e.g. the nokia dlls cooked in, or some extras like ringtones & wallpapers etc - don't know.. i am speculating..). and do make screenshots and present your ROM better..
don't get me wrong; i appreciate your work and every others work here. Just wanted to add my 2 cents.
