What is the problem, this so called community I've heard about is not much of a community is it.
There's no need for it at all.
Can someone please offer some real advice.

Ok, here is a real advice:
Please read the tutorials.

I have, but the one I am reading shows an old JF1.41 rom, when I looked at the other roms it says things like only for 36b phones ect..... It's confused me a little because tho I am amature techy I am also extra cautious and dont want to brick my phone.
Would I be ok using CyanogenMod [v3.9.7] && Palm Pre theme [1.8] ported for instance

I think the reason people are being a bit hostile is because you posted a question in the development section. That may seem OTT but there are some days when the whole first page of the development section is filled up with questions.
Before you flash a cupcake ROM (cyanogen, JF) you will need the new radio. I'm not entirely sure if you can flash that radio on RC7 or whether you will need to install a custom ROM first (like JF's RC9) so if someone could clear that up that would be useful. It can be found here. Copy that to your SD, name it update.zip and flash. Then you can flash a Cyanogen or any other cupcake ROM. That particular ROM you were talking about sounds like it was ported to the HTC Magic/Sapphire. Only flash ROMs from the dream section.

Hi mate, I wouldnt flash 3.9.7 if you only just rooted your phone, go with the stable v3.6.8.1 first, then use Nandroid recovery to create a backup. Then worse case scenario you can always restore that image if needed.
There's a good reason 3.9.7 is marked as experimental, and there is alot to learn before attempting any Hero roms etc.
If you get stuck with anything feel free to shoot me a PM Im always around and happy to help.
Long time lurker first time poster btw

Thanks guys, I will not post in this section again and sorry to those I have upset, would hve been nice to have been simply told.
Thanks for the help.

lol that was hard as nails

Wow that was by far the hardest groaned I have ever seen in my few months on xda!

People are just tired of everybody posting in devolpment when there is a q and a section, and when there are 20 to 30 new threads that have already been discussed, the devolpers get annoyed. Go with the stable version of cyanogen's rom, flash the new radio image and get yourself the hard spl, not the special, if you see warnings, run very far away. Install the s a lifesaver

ahem...
I wasn't hostile before, attempting to be civil now.
You posted two questions in the development forum. The first was regarding root. There are numerous tutorials available on this forum and even more via a simple google search. I know this because I read them, learned the process inside and out and successfully rooted my phone within the first hour of owning it. So yeah, I made a joke about a hard working mod having to move your thread... no personal attack so whatever.
Your second question was an open ended request for what are basically opinions. There are a number of great custom roms being developed here on XDA and all of them are unique in their own way. Roms like HERO and Cyan's experimental rom are definitely not for newcomers and the threads posted by their developers clearly state the risks involved in attempting to run them. 15 minutes in the dev forum and you could have made an educated decision on your own. One post in Q&A and you would have gotten much friendlier responses but in the end, you'd still have to choose your own adventure.
Let me make one thing clear...
I'm not a dev. I'm an end user who tries to contribute something useful to this forum and learns a whole bunch in the process. I've offered help to many people via PM and replies in threads (as long as the discussion is on-topic) but over time I've come to the realization that simply handing out information instead of forcing you to find it on your own actually does a disservice to not only the forum, but YOU as a user. So hate on us all you want. I think you'll find that following forum rules in the future will make your experience here a happier one, and snarky comments like yours are better left un-submitted.
To answer your question: I started with JF's 1.5 rom and think it was a great way to gain exposure to the world of custom roms and root. A lot has changed since then and things have actually become a lot easier since cyanogen released his recovery image w/ nandroid and tools like switchrom came out. Its now very easy to hop between roms and there are fewer chances you'll screw something up in the process. Personally, I've been sticking with Cyanogen's roms since 3.4.6, and though there have been some bumps in the road I've had very few issues and am currently working with his 3.9 experimental builds.
Hope you get where I'm coming from, good luck to you in the future.

What Rom?

What rom is everybody running?
I got my phone on sat.
Love it

ugh, step 1) read stickies... this does not belong in development
step 2) read through the options you have (basically SRE, UTB, and SuperStock right now) and if you aren't going to take the time to read them, hold off on flashing until you know what you're doing

go for it. things are very solidly organized (there's even a specific section just for asking questions).
there are explanations of what this forum section is for (the development/hacking of android on the captivate and how to use the developments). If you want some advice on what's the general preference, look at general (where I believe this conversation is already happening with a topic titled "UTB vs SRE") or Q&A.
You should also read about the potential ROMs you're looking at (SRE, UTB, SuperStock) in their respective threads. There is no "This is the best ROM that everyone likes so use that" thread because the options are still relatively young and you have to decide which tool you want to use the most.
If you find reading the threads for what the ROM or tools do too difficult, then maybe modifying this device isn't for you right now. There's nothing wrong with asking questions (specifically in the threads of the various tools/ROMs) just place them in the right place. Your question has nothing to do with development, and that's all I'm asking

ok thank you on a side note is there any rom that has everything 100% working

Seriously the potential of anyone really answering your question on here is a joke. Don't get me wrong, but I've seen ppl post things 5 or six times (in Rom or kernel) threads and if they are lucky enough to get a answer they are told to search the forums and when they do they just run into other threads where people are told to guess what...search the forums. So its just a endless cycle until you just forget about it and move onto another ROM or kernel.

To the best of my knowledge, every tool out there has everything working 100%... AOSP isn't out yet (which already has said they're having trouble with bluetooth, camera, GPS, and data) and SuperStock has supposedly spotty wifi and data.
Your two major options right now are SRE and UTB, both of which are only modifications to the stock ROMs so everything is working. SRE provides more options and more customizations and UTB hasn't been updated in a while, though they're both valid options.
Personally, I'd suggest using SRE and going to that thread and reading up on your options

Yes and no.
The ROM on your phone is the official release - all others are dev builds. This includes the captivate ROMs and i9000 ROMs. Newer captivate builds fix a few things, but you lose tethering and maybe a few other things.
The i9000 builds all require the Captivate kernel, so some things don't work right.
Again, you need to read the threads on the different ROMs and decide for yourself.

I think i'm running jh3? I can't remember which. haha.
I lied, I guess i'm running jf6 still... Don't remember that happening.

Personally, I'm running jf6 (stock), rooted, metamorph minimalistic theme (tweaked a little to my personal liking), and adw (to customize even more). I've tried jm2, jm5 (both with samset on top), and jh2. Never tried froyo because I need my phone to work and it has too many known bugs.To me, a rooted, customized, stock ROM is the best because it give you less problems and sideloading through adb is easy. Also tried the lag fixes but other than the Quadrant scores, I couldn't tell too much of a real world difference so I took them off. I never had any GPS issues with jf6 so maybe I'm lucky.

[Q] Is there a list of roms that are updateable thru ROM MGR clockwork?

Im sorry but I Didnt see a thread dedicated to this feature. I apologize in advance if this has been covered elsewhere.
Y!S

All roms are flashed via CWM unless they say to do it differently in their thread. CM7 is about the only one that's not done this way.
Nobody gives install instructions anymore since it should be common knowledge if you did your research.
Also, this is NOT a development question. We have a Q&A section for these types of questions.

all custom roms come with CWM built into the kernel.
once you have a custom rom you DONT USE rom manager anymore.
also this is the DEVELOPMENT section.
DO NOT POST QUESTIONS HERE!!!
questions go in Q&A

you guys are misunderstanding his question, ROM manager is capable of sending out OTA's for individual ROM's if the ROM creator implements this feature. as far as I know, there are yet to be any ROM's that use this in the Captivate section, though please tell me if I'm wrong. CM7 will use this feature once it's capable of using ROM manager through a properly functioning param.ko
as for you two, no need to be so aggressive/rude. you didn't answer his question properly and were a bit extreme in your judgment toward him. but as for you OP, they are correct in that this isn't truly related to development and is more suited to "General" or "Q&A" from now on.

my point was nobody uses rom manager after stock anymore.
if someone cant properly post, they wont get a full complete answer

Hey TRusselo you have gone beyond making it known that I posted in the wrong section but no matter how I look at your answers you still come across as a big fat jerk. There isnt any need whatsoever for you to post that.. and then to come back and repeat yourself with another entry saying the SAME thing and MAINTAINING the attitude.. you got my attention.
Kaik541 did answer my question. I was wondering if any devs have used this feature in rom manager. For over the air updates.
As to the reason why I posted in the DEVs section was because i thought that it was a development question. ROMS updated over the air thru ROM MANAGER is implemented by DEVELOPERS. It stands to reason why i have not seen any notes in any DEVELOPERS release and that is apparently no DEVELOPERS are using this feature. I hope that I made it understood as to WHY I posted in the dev section. I am now more familiar with the rules so I do beg your pardon for posting in the wrong place.
Nightly builds that can be updated over the air seems like it would really be something that a DEV would utilize with all the tweeks contently done to these roms. I for one look forward to having such a useful tool.

Nightly builds aren't considered updates. They are made so the flash happy people have something else to play with and test for the devs. They aren't meant for everyone to use as DD's. Utilizing this feature for nightlie's would end up with TONS of questions from newbs that don't know how to fix what they just did.

This has been brought up a few times and to be honest with all the possible issues that could come across from OTA updates like flashing a bad file cause you lost connection for a split sec and didn't notice, I wouldn't use it. The first att OTA update proved this. Thousands of bricks, then it was released by Kris update. Alot less bricks.

[Q] Samsung Captivate - Best ROM For Begginers...

Hey Guys...
First of all - I am Amazed by the level of this forum... Its truly great...
I am Very new to XDA. I Still managed to figure out essential things for my captivate.
I spent straight 8 to 10hrs [Approx a Month ago] reading and searching variety of threads, links and videos and got the Idea about rooting, Custom ROM, Flashing etc...
[I must Repeat - "Just Idea", Because having no real background and knowledge about anything related to these things... I obviously feel like Still Missing a lot of basic terms]...
Anyways - Point for explaining all that is to Make my 'Beginner' Level clear... B'coz Members here called as beginners are also quite good with all these basic terms...
I am using 'LANIGHT' ROM right now...
Now the problem is... There are still some bugs in this version... [Camera, SMS, etc]
So the question is:
1. The Best, latest and most stable version of ROM out there - which would be great for beginners like us? [We can have this thread for the updates of such ROM time to time] - For Us - This part seems very difficult to figure out...
2. Also the process of installing that ROM...
3. And if there is a quick way to figure out the 1st question in forum... Except spending hours just reading the threads... Very very difficult work... [Hats of to you guys...]
Thanks in advance...

1. This question can't be answered. For many reasons but mainly because the Best ROM for you, that feels in your needs and such won't be the same as let's say, the best ROM for me. The best you can do if look at the features list and go through the last few pages of the ROM to know about the bugs/issues. There isn't a perfect ROM, just gotta find the one that suits you the best.
2. Follow the ROM's instructions in the OP (Don't forget the Gapps)
3. Refer to #1. Also, for respect for the Devs and to avoid flaming, threads like these often get closed.

Hey, we all start somewhere
Welcome and BWolf gave you some very sound advice. I've been flashing new ROMs pretty much on a daily basis this week to find the ROM that suits me the best. Enjoy flashing and playing around with different ROMs. The nice thing about this phone is that pretty much there are ways to revive it if something "happens."

Choosing a rom is a hit and trial method. Just go to captivate android development forum and choose any rom which looks good download it and flash it using recovery. Most common thing is clockwork mod recovery to install any ROM. keep flashing different roms until you find the one that suits you. Happy flashing. :thumbup:

I used to hold off buying a jig... until I truly needed one. Thanks to one click odin and heimdall, if anything happens, then you're always good to flash back to stock and try again
I highly recommend a jig as it can save you from a LOT of headache.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20710788&postcount=6
You can buy one or build it yourself. It's a great investment and insurance plan
Feel free to flash whatever Captivate ROM you like, just pay attention to the flashing procedures in each thread (as Bwolf said).

Beginners like you? IMHO, there are lots of different beginners and you haven't shared enough for me to know what kind of beginner you are.
By recent and best, do you mean that you just want a stock ROM, perhaps rooted, but otherwise pretty much the same as the last stock release, Gingerbread KK4? It is 'recent' - because it is the latest and final official release, more recent than earlier releases.
Or do you want a ROM that is unofficial, won't be supported by your carrier or by Samsung, but that runs Jelly Bean 4.2 with an occasional bug or broken feature?
Beginner is relative to the field in question, yes? An Olympic gold medal swimming winner in his first year in medical school is a beginner at surgery,
Do you excel at really carefully reading and understanding all instructions before you start on a task?
So, if you are starting as a complete newbie, maybe go for KK4 Gingerbread and add the Corn Kernel. Get stable with that. Get comfortable making nandroid backups, and using root browsers to back up efs and other folders. get comfortable moving the files to your pc, to the external sd card, etc.
After getting all the stuff backed up with good knowledge about how to restore it all, then go flash a stable 4.1 or 4.2 jelly bean rom. you will need to flash twice. oh, and get gapps, too.
does this all sound like jibberish? read the sticky threads, read the glossaries, etc,.

If you're looking for a ROM with a lot of UI and benchmark improvements, Captivating by Sephi looks great, although I haven't tried it myself. No one here really wants to pick 1 specific ROM, because everyone is different and don't want to be rude to the dev's .
Flashing ROMs on the Captivate is fairly simple, and as others have stated if you have a jig (if you don't want to buy one pre-made, you can make your own w/o soldering, there's a guide in this forum for it), you can just play around with different ROMs and can almost always fix the phone if anything bad should happen.
Just browse XDA until you find one that you think you may like, read the reviews, and try it out for yourself

I recommended Captivating ROM by she phi.. U will not disappointed

I consider myself a beginner and I like Cyanogenmod 10.1. I am using the nighties and I find it quite stable and easy to update.

Installing a CUSTOM ROM, totally newbie!

Hey everyone!...
So I recently upgraded my 4x HD to Jelly Bean and now I realized that I made a mistake, my phone has been wrecked, performs like crap. I formatted the phone before upgrading to JB but that didn't do any good. At first I encountered ram issue, for no reason without having installed any apps, I was having about 200 mb of free ram compared to average of 270 mb's in ICS, however after going thru topics here at XDA forums, I was able to fix the ram issue and now I have 250 mbs+ normally free but it's still doing me no good. Those games that used to run butter smooth on ICS now lags on JB, especially after few minutes of play, phone gets hot and games start lagging and I have no idea why, I haven't installed any battery saving apps.
Here's some tests/info
Can't post external links :*(

@admins
Sorry to do that, I am not spamming so I hope this isn't a violation of rules, please excuse me.
Given how awfully my phone performs compared to ICS, I am genuinely surprised by the benchmark results, it's about 1.5k higher than it was in ICS.
Short of all that, I see no other solution than installing a custom rom, I need to know what's the best custom rom available and where do I begin. I have never done this before. Links to tutorial and rom would be highly appreciated, thanks :fingers-crossed:

You may noticed that nobody answered your thread yet and there's a reason for it. If you read the rules of xda (I assume you did) there are a few problems here: First and most important, "Search before posting". The ram management and its problems on JB compared to ICS have been discussed many times and as you're a clever person you will find those related threads easily by a brief search. Second rule you didn't follow is, that "Best ROM/Kernel etc threads" aren't allowed on XDA at all, so nobody will answer that. If you ask why you didn't read the rules at all and that's you fault.
For your main question: Installing/Flashing a custom ROM isn't that hard if you (and that part is important) follow the easy accessible tutorials in the general section. If you have a specific problem in the whole unlocking, rooting and/or flashing process we are very likely able to help you but no one will provide a full tutorial in a Q&A thread just because you don't even try to follow said tutorials.
This is not meant as an insult or anything, just a hint for you to get the needed knowledge: Read, everything you don't know, google it or search on XDA as there's a good chance you'll be able to get an answer yourself.
So please follow the rules and/or read them (again) carefully before posting next time.
I wish you a successful future with the android custom ROM scene in this forum.

If you are more satisfied with the performance on ics, I believed that you can always downgrade using the links in this great forum. As for flashing custom rom, there are plenty of them on xda and you can browse through them and choose the one that suits you best, just remember to root and unlock before performing the flashing of custom roms.

I totally get it, it's my bad but the thing is that I did search thoroughly before posting here and there were dozens of custom roms there and I couldn't decide which one to get. Firstly I thought I'd go with Cybermodgen but then I read somewhere that it isn't the best option available so that kind of made me indecisive.
I see that you've been using Optimus 4x HD as well, could you answer a few things, it'll help me decide what to do next.
Which rom are you using?
How do you rate its performance compared to JB?
Should I go back to ICS or move on to a custom ROM?
I'd highly appreciate your help!.
Thanks :cyclops:

Firstly I thought I'd go with Cybermodgen but then I read somewhere that it isn't the best option available so that kind of made me indecisive.
I see that you've been using Optimus 4x HD as well, could you answer a few things, it'll help me decide what to do next.
Which rom are you using?
How do you rate its performance compared to JB?
Should I go back to ICS or move on to a custom ROM?
I'd highly appreciate your help!.
Thanks :cyclops:

I'm using the LiquidSmooth v3.2 by Mourta
with his awesome kernel based on iodaks great work.
The performance I got with this one is the best I ever had (on custom roms)
but you'll have to set up a few things but they are all stated in the dedicated thread over here:
http://www.modaco.com/forum/594-lg-optimus-4x-hd-4xhdmodacocom/
The first three threads are the interesting ones.
I would definitely move on to a custom rom instead of going back to ics
which is in my opinion way below regarding it's performance and/or the amount of it's features.
