For all who are flashing, often... hee
Since the whole swype beta upgrade blah blah... sometimes I'll flash a ROM that has the updated version, sometimes they don't include the updated version, sometimes they do and they don't work (wrong handset or something like that) and I find myself flashing BACK to ROM's that had the working update.
What about on the older ROM's that I find myself missing??? Is there a trick other than deleting swype and swypelib and then copying in a newer version of both???
It's making me crazy, and yet I'm unwilling to live without swype!!! It took me a long time to like it, but once I did, I never went back!!
Thanks!!

In Extremekilla09's second post in the Firefly rom thread he posted a swype fix for firefly only. It is cwm flashable and I have used it on my favorite swype keyboard on at least 4 different roms including phoenix js7, dragon, supernova, and fusion. Worked every time. Give it a try and if it works hit extremekilla09's thanks button.

I don't get it. Leaked and rooted are different.
Its for Root phones!
cool I'll give it a whirl!
edit: first time it just looked horrible (prob my fault) wiped flashed tried again and wont boot. Thank god for nandroid
Edit2: I can't follow directions trying again
edit3: followed directions and it again faild and caused the whole phone to implode. Probably my fault, but whatever to much effort for 2 am nandroid backup and maybe ill try tomorrow
This doesn't work
Thats because its for the hero?
works on Ivan's .5
This does work on the older odexed roms Ivan had built...doesn't work on newer builds...so if you have. 5 and want to try it go for it it works.
Hey everyone. I'm posting here because I have a friend with a Captivate and I'm trying to get him to root his phone.
I sent him the link to the 1 click root but I don't know what rom to have him flash. I have an EVO and in the EVO forums we have a sticky with all the custom roms listed so it's easy to see what's there. Is there anything like that for you guys?
He's basically looking for a stable 2.2 rom.

The Captivate DEV scene isn't too large right now, (most of them are in the Vibrant section) We have few custom roms, but the ones you can find, along with mods can be found in the Development section of Captivate.

This is very true. Most went to vibrant because they were ex-G1 users. However the good news is the most of the coding will be the same so they are relatively easy to port. I have a feeling the captivate will not be getting as much dev action, and most people are switching from windows mobile or iPhone and have no android dev experience. But it will eventually speed up
Don't have him flash a custom ROM just to flash a custom ROM. Right now there are a limited number of ROMs, and he can read up on them in the dev to see if there is anything changes in the newer firmwares that would make it worth his time to flash. AFAIK, there are no fully functional, stable 2.2 ROMs (although the leaked build for the i9000/international version does mostly work, I think). There are also a few leaked updates to the 2.1 firmware.

Yea, that's why I am asking if there are any stable 2.2 roms yet. But as I gather there aren't. I'll just tell him to keep his eyes open here.
I've been using Cognition 2.2b6 for about 4 months now with no problems. Seems to be the most stable rom out there for the captivate.
I've been using Cognition 2.3b3 for several weeks and it's working great, the only issue for me is the android email process crashes on startup, I use the gmail app anyway, so its a non issue for me... It took 3 or 4 days to get the correct order of opperations, it seems not everything you find on XDA works for every Captivate, I guess AT&T keeps disabling settings and crapware crippling the phone... But the order that worked for me was:
STOCK AT&T 2.2 FROYO:

ROOT:

Now that I've done all this I could NEVER go back to stock, it's like having a completely different phone... Unbelievable upgrade. F-U AT&T.
Hands down Cognition to start. When he's ready to move on Cognadian Bacon!
Swyping...please read slowly!
Cool. Thanks for all the replies. I just flashed the latest Cognition beta for him yesterday actually. He's so much happier. Haha.

I was gonna say perseption. Its really the most captivate friendly of the ports for other galaxy s phones. You get the reorient kernel with overclock undervoult, universal lagfix, clockwork mod instead of 2e recovery, and you get working bluetooth audio, normal batery life, multiple fonts, password/pin number/pattern security, other things i forgot.
Axura looks amazing but noone will answer my questios about bugs. And there is no known issues listing.

Hi everyone,
Saw a request for this in vibrant general, and while I'm sure most devs and cooks will have long since already deodexed the OTA JI6 for their own uses, hopefully this will still be of use to somebody.
So, that said, this is the stock JI6 OTA rom, fully deodexed, with the stock JI6 kernel and modem, pre-rooted with busybox installed.
NOTE: this was made from the "T959UVJI6 ## NEW" ODIN firmware posted a while back.
Many thanks to all the wonderful devs here, and especially to Eugene373 and Anomalous for provinding the original JFD deodexed base that I used to learn how to compile my own flashable roms.
Warning, this will wipe your data, and this has only been tested via clockwork recovery.
Download: Removed, sorry, caused problems for some people
Cheers everyone, =)
Thanks this is just what I needed.
Me too! I would also like to learn how to do this myself in future. I dual boot ubuntu 10.04 and windows 7, so any tips in either os?

Hi,
Sorry for the issue.
I'm honestly not sure why its happening, it didn't happen on my phone when I tested everything before uploading, and the bootclasspath's used for deodexing were the same that anomalous used for the original JFD deodexed rom. That said, admittedly, I usually run a personalized version of either frankin-twiz/hybrid or bionix rom daily, was only uploading this since I had already deodexed JI6 for personal use (I always like to build new theme's/mods from unmodified/stock files) and saw a request in general.
Anyway, at this point, since sombionix moved to the OTA files too, I'm probably not going to look into it or really support this, sorry.

im from fascinate.. my roommate has a captivate and would like to get a rom and voodoo.. i would like to get him a super-clean rom, that everything works on. that you have source code to (meaning i can use custom kernels like voodoo) preferably zip aligned and deodexed. im running dj05 sc.9 on my fascinate, and would like something comparable.. if you have froyo source, froyo would be preferred.
thanks in advance. i appreciate any and all help.
Try dilligaf's 7.x. Link in my signature
You can't really go wrong with the newest versions of Cognition or Serendipity either. I was on Cog 4 then flashed Serendipity 6.2. Both are are very stable.
Any of the more popular roms should meet your criteria.
Is it just me or have there been an abundance of "what rom?" threads lately?
Agreed. Less reading, and more cbf'd people.
My vote is for FireFly. I have yet to have any issues and when there is an issue X is quick to get a fix out.
Sre with ryan za olcf
CM7
this link should give you a run down on everything current
http://capfaq.com/w/ROM_Table
And tell your roomate to flash his own rom that way you won't have to flash for him every other day

No one can tell you want rom to run. Most of the custom roms meet your Requirments. Please do a little searching before opening a new thread
Ok, I have a Captivate currently running Fasty 1.5
I flashed from a stock ROM after doing a master clear as I always do, and haven't made any customizations to any of the ROMs I've run.
I've tried every Netflix app and pretty much every ROM that promises working Netflix, but nothing seems to work.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Neither did I, but according to the Fasty post, it works on this one. But it really doesn't as far as I can tell.
I've tried several GB ROMs too, but it didn't work on them either.
Am I going to have to wait 42 years for Netflix and Samsung or ATT to work out some sort of deal?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Couldn't get it to work on Fatsy either (tried every variation of the netflix APK out there).
Had previously had it working on a GB rom (Mosaic). Just flashed to DG's Cognition GB and it works like a charm.
It's worked on CM7 and Continuum for me with no problems. Big fan of the app when you get it working
It works on every GB ROM I have flashed. Be sure to use the "netflix-new-mod2.apk" in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
Just re-flashed Continuum, going to give it another try.
EDIT:
IT WORKS!
I don't know what I did different this time, but I'm so super stoked that I'm probably going to die.
Thanks to you all for your help!!
Netflix works perfectly on the Speed and Looks 2.3.3 rom I'm using. Just make sure you are on wifi, or else your phone bill with hate you.
Has anyone gotten Netflix to work on a 2.2 based ROM?
Confirmed working: Seredipity 7 build 2 GB 2.3.3
Next time, do a search before starting a new thread. There must be a half dozen or more existing Netflix threads in here. Also, this should have been in Themes & Apps, not Q&A.
