its an O2 Xda Mini. not a wallaby. sorry!

Ok, well, there is no telling what the BEST software is, just read through the forums, alot of people offer there own versions of the updates, and decide which on is safest for you to update with and stuff...

Hmn.. this is the one that I use... Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 .. check it out here.
I like it, see if its compatible with your device first as you should always do.

No problem, glad I could help.

It often is the latest stable software in the ROMs. And another thing.. It's better if you try some roms out. Its not so popular around here to ask about a god rom. It's a matter of taste and so on. Not so nice to other chefs if i, or any one else recommend a specific rom.
Check the thread about how to flash HSPL and just go nuts flashing and testing. Good luck!
Admin, please close.

Before anyone creates a new thread, the basic requirements for common decency would be to read the wiki, forum rules and use the 'search' function.
Now I understand that you are new, but your question(s) have been asked many times before.
FYI, a dummies guide thread exists for flashing. Also to ask an opinionated query is frowned upon in XDA as it creates endless long threads due to everyone having a different opinion. Best advice would be to read first few posts in each rom thread as this generally lists whats in each rom as well as providing a few screenshots of said rom. Then try a few roms to make your own conclusion on whats best for you

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] dump rom from phone

Hi All,
Please would someone be so kind and explain how to make a rom from a phone using anything would be good, but preferably flashable via odin
What i am asking is how to dump an I9000 rom so that I can flash it via Odin on a I900 once again, not porting just a basic dump.

i'm interrested too

Really dude? Read stickies, search, read up a ton before posting stupidly pointless threads like this. Sorry, but this is a busy forum and people like you asking baseless questions aren't a part of it.
In case you didn't know, porting ROMs from devices is extremely hard. There is progress going on porting HTC Sense from the Desire HD but it's extremely time consuming and difficult even for very experienced devs.

Did you do a search? well there is FA info at all on this topic, and I am not looking at porting a rom, i simply want to dump my rom as is as a image.
dd i guess could work, but how the hell do make it odin friendly?

"this is a busy forum and people like you asking baseless questions aren't a part of it"
you are the one !

Which am I, the one asking the baseless questions or the one telling others not to? =P
Dumping a ROM is definitely different than porting from another device, but the way your question stated you wanted to take a dump from another phone (Desire for example) and then magically stick that in Odin and make it work or something. Sorry for misunderstanding.
I take it you want to dump your current ROM and then publish for others to use, like Nandroid backup style? I guess that might be interesting although I'll personally stick to cooked ROMs like Docs that are ready to flash with all optimizations and changes applied at the get-go.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for life. Cryptic as it may be, but I guess the OP is interested in trying to make a backup.
I know samfirmware has most of the firmwares, but it would be nice to know how to create a flashable rom.

Some of us really would like to know how to do this. Samfirmwares does not have all the roms. They do not have the ntt docomo rom for japan on their site. The phone was just released the 28 October with the official 2.2 froyo rom on it. I would like to walk in the store dump the rom from their demo phone to sd card. Put the rom on my phone. I really want get my sp mode working. I have rom mananger. Does rom manager do rom dumps with the back rom option.

I agree this seems like a good idea, my bad for not understanding the Cyrptic OP lol
I don't think we get nandroid backups right now. I don't think anyone has taken a dump from a running SGS and turned it into a flashable ROM. I just know that Doc, Tatyuma and others have taken Samsung's packages and cooked them into their nice flashable zips.

Many thanks for your kind remarks. As I stated I have searched for days, I just wanted to treasured that I would not brick my phone I just wanted help! I thought that thus was a friendly forum.

romkitchen.org
the only place to find a good rom - as you build it yourself.
no junk / unwanted apps - this will save battery
the forum is friendly, but us users who visit here everyday get bogged down with the same questions and it gets irritating.
We know you are not here to P155 us off, But some people are scared to flash a rom without having 10+ XDA members holding their hands through the process.
