Advice on how to restore stock rom can be found at bottom of first post on HSPL thread. Its aptly named:
How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
The reason for your discolourization is most likely due to you SPL being incorrect, or using wrong HSPL
Guidance on how to flash roms properly can be found here. In future queries on flashing roms should be posted in this thread.
In future try searching before creating new thread and try to abide by forum rules.

I want to know if I can get the original ROM so if I flash my new phone and want to return it, I can make it look stock.
Thanks XDA, I searched and found nothing, but its late and my eyes are not use to my pc screen after hours on the Tilt2.

Guess there isn't a rom floating around?

Hi can someone explain how i can revert back to my original firmware which was on the phone before i flashed it with jpk , so will be able to use the official froyo upgrade when it is released , i have a samsung i9000 with froyo i9000xxjpk. thanks in advance !
1. WHATEVER the rom you currently have, it WON'T affect your upgrade to ANY other rom (e.g. official froyo)
2. you need to know what rom you HAD, before do the reverse to the "original".
3. reverse procedure is the SAME as upgrade, its just flash another rom.
4. WRONG section for this post.
thank you for your help , sorry i posted this in wrong section but which section shoiuld i have posted it in ?

Hello Fam! I have a:
Samsung Captivate SGH I897
Currently running :
Cognition, 2.1.7
I'm looking to Change ROM's and I have a couple questions.
1) What is the best Rom for Battery life that has some cool Graffix/annimations
2) Do I have to Flash my Phone back to Stock before I flash a new ROM?
3)I recently Flashed my phone to Darky's 8.1 Somehow i ended up with the I9000 version and it crashed/bricked my phone. I spent 3+ hours restoring a bricked phone. anyone know a fix or a i897 version of this rom??
I liked what I saw of Darky's 8.1 but I need a stable version or a Rom that is Similar.
All help/Suggestions are greatly appreciated

i think he intended to direct you to the second post in that thread (which must have fell under the 10% of that thread that you didn't read..sorry couldn't resist a friendly flame) as you are posting your question in the wrong part of the forum.
Rules for posting in Android Development
* If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
* It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
* Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
* If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
* Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
* If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
* Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
* If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
* So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

You should probably familiarize yourself with this as well or your setting yourself up for endless flaming and frustration:
REF] New to XDA? Questions about flashing ROMs? Please read this before posting!
Lately I have seen so many "what rom is best for my first flash" or "Help me decide what rom is best for me" threads and they are POINTLESS! Granted there are an abundance of new and old custom roms, everyone has different experiences and opinions on what rom is best.
So... NOOBS:
If you want to know what rom is best for YOU do the following:
- Go to the Android Development Section and read through different [ROM] threads to see what features will work best for you. I have also found it useful to read through the last couple of pages to see what other users think about the current version of the rom.
- If you don't know what certain terms in the rom thread mean or affect (ie. kernel, modem, OC/UV, Gps tweaks) locate the search bar in the top right corner of the page or browse through this page
- Once you have decided what rom you want to try out, you need to learn how to flash the rom. Most of the Developers post instructions but they can be confusing to some of the less experienced flashers. nbs11 has posted a thread about how to do this here and Connexion2005 was nice enough to make videos of the general steps: Flashing back to stock using odin3 , 3 Part video series for flashing roms: video 1 , video 2 , video 3
- Now that you know how to choose and flash a rom just try out different roms until you find one that you like and gives you all the features you are looking for.
- If you find the theme of a certain rom ugly or obnoxious, head over to the Captivate themes and apps section and look through different [THEME] threads until you find one that you like. Make sure the theme is compatible with the rom you have just flashed or are planning to flash.
- If you accidentally brick your phone, read How to unbrick the captivate or if that doesn't work, Unbrick the captivate for only $0.99
-Some useful links other members have posted:
One-Click Root - root your captivate in one click!
Build #1010 or above flash back to stock
My hopes of this thread are to save the Captivate general section from becoming a section full of useless threads. So if you are new, please use these steps and do the research to find a Rom that is right for YOU!
Cheers,
Alex
*EDIT* As it seems swedishcancerboi is having a hard time using the search function, here are some simple tips to make your searching easier. If you think there is already a thread that has been created containing the information you desire, under "Search by keyword", try changing the drop down box to "Search titles only". Also, try changing the "sort results by" drop down box to "Relevancy". If that still doesn't work do a google search of "xda (whatever you are looking for)" without the quotes.

Nike - Greek word for victory. Also known as a popular brand of shoes.
Nike... Just do it...
Battery life?
Paragon for me on my particular phone
Graphics/animations? Dunno, not into too much eye candy, but there are themes galore available
I always ODIN to stock before I flash a ROM (Haven't tried the AIO yet, but looks interesting)
As for the Darky issue. Flash back to stock and start over.
You have to expect redirection when you're posting in the wrong forum.

Thank you Capitan Obvious.
I recommend Serendipidity with the Suckerpunch kernal. I've gotten great battery life with that combo also you can some cool animations to add to Serendipidity from the Serendipidity website. And when changing between completely different roms I usaully flash back to stock and do a master reset with odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i recommend you build a jig or buy one online just in case, since you want to use custom rom.

Duck and grind HighSun, duck and grind.
If you're still in the look-see stage as far as ROMs, there are a few that are well worth trying.
Paragon (my fav)
Serendipity
di11i's
Firebird (under new management so to speak)
That's my order of excellence but don't take my word for it. Flash what you like from reading whats offered and have fun. Follow the steps listed in each and you shouldn't have any issues. While not necessary to ODIN to stock, it's a good idea to get used to it in case you bork your phone and need to exchange it.
The best battery life i have gotten is with darky's 9.2 rom.

Hi folks
It's my first question, and you will immediately remark that I'm a noob.
But I searched more then a day, but I can't find the answer here, or anywhere on the web..
Every thread where, Chainfire post his su+bb+CWM5 roms, there are only direct download links. But how I can find the newest one for my firmware?
I never saw a complete list of all his roms, where I can choose the actual one (like on sammobile).
If I take this for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784&highlight=aut i can find on the first page the rom "CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip" which I like to take because I'm from switzerland. But KKA is a bit old. Actually i have installed N7000OXXLA1. So how can I be sure that there isn't a newer CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT from chainfire for me. If I take the link from CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip which is http://download.chainfire.eu/68/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip I have no chance the search for a other, never one like CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_L... . And to search in all threats with over 100 posts just to see if there is a newer as the one I already found is a pain in the ...
So how did you guys do it?
And if I can't find a chainfire rom for my actual firmware, do I have to downgrade first to KKA install the CF rom, apply the zergrush exploid, install mobile odin pro an then install N7000OXXLA1 again? If I do it that way I will not loose CWM recovery no?
Thanks for anyone who can give me a hint.
Kind regards.
AbuZubayr from switzerland
Not even one reply ?
Was it such a stupit question?
I have one thread per device model I support ...
Once CF-Root thread for SG Note, one CF-Root thread for SGS2, etc
If the kernel isn't listed in that thread, it doesn't exist *unless* I've made a full ROM download, which I very rarely do, and would have it's own thread.
There's no special list, the thread *is* the list.
its all listed in CF's thread. Check 2nd and 3rd posts, you will find LA1 kernel.
Morning guys
Thanks for your answers.
So I'll have a closer look to those threads. Last time I tried to use the search function (only in the specific thread), but with the pattern searched I didn't get a result. Maybe I did something wrong, but I tried with patterns which are written in the thread for sure, because I found the later on while reading page by page.
Anyway, thanks for your work chainfire!
Kind regards.
