I have a question and you may find it silly but that's okay, I have my reasons. If I take my Rogers I896 Captivate from stock 2.2 rooted froyo and put it on GB 2.3.3 from the I-9000, Instead of having the GB launcher can I go back to touchwiz from Froyo? Because I love the dock and the launcher, very smooth. And if I go to 2.3.3 is there any chance I can go back to 2.2? I keep hearing everywhere that I will brick if I do.
Yeah you can go back, but you have to be careful because your flashing bootloaders.. A lot of the bricks from 2.3.3 back to 2.2 is user error.
Why do you want to put a i9000 ROM on your phone. Captivate has a ton of gingerbread ROMs...?

The stock 2.3.3 uses the "same" launcher as 2.2 its just TW4 instead of TW3
you can go back to 2.2 you just have to be careful that you dont flash new bootloaders

All the 2.3.3 ROMs for the captivate are from the i9000 source code of gingerbread.

What exactly do you mean by flashing new bootloaders? Are You supposed to keep the ones you got from. 2.3.3?
What folder are ringtones stored in 2.3.3
I want to move my MP3 ringtones to the phone ringtone folder but I can't find them. In the 2.2 version they were in the audio folder but now I can't find a audio folder.
Thanks,
I am trying to search for ROMs based on the I897 2.3.3? Is there a list somewhere or what is best way to search these ROMs without the i9000 ROMs being included? Specifically I would like a ROM that just removes all AT&T branding and bloatware as well as the power on/power off tones/screens.
I have loaded 2.3.3 and flashed the beta 2 Kernal from DG but I do not want Cognition just a clean version of the stock ROM and maybe add a couple things later.

I have done reading a lot of post recently.
I brick'ed my cappy once, I reflash the stock kernel, and it came back alive.
After that, I managed flashing my I897 into Foyo 2.2 and with Cog 2.4.1 Rom.
So far so good.
I am still very afraid of brick my cappy again.
So, I decided post question here, just to clear my mind.
If I wanna flash it into an I9000 Rom from Cog 2.4.1 Rom
What are the right steps ??
My current system config is listed here
Firmware 2.2
Baseband Version - I897 UCJJ4
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9
Build Number - Cognition. v2.4.1
The best thing you can do is decide which i9000 Rom you want to flash to and read the OP of that thread for exactly how to flash. It is gonna require both odin and clockwork though. Which Rom are you wanting to go to?

From your opinion, which I9000 Rom is most popular ?? (This might be the best one i think)
Is it ganna be better than Cog's I897 rom ??
Really I prefer to stick with cognition but there is no denying that setirons kernel is the best one going right now but it doesn't play well with cognition. If I was going to go i9000 I would use mikeymikes conversion of docs Rom...it looks really nice and everyone in that thread loves it.
Am I able to install the Voodoo lag fix on my Captivate? I know the AT&T version is supported but I rather not brick my device. Please respond!

I have a Rogers Captivate, and I have used Voodoo for a while.
Make sure you have root access, and go nuts. It really does improve the quality.
have u used voodoo with 2.2?
i just got the captivate and am now on stock 2.2 with root and oclf installed. is it worth changing to voodoo?

OCLF uses ext2, which is less safe than ext4, which is used by Voodoo. If you want Voodoo, flash the JJ4 + Voodoo kernel in the dev section.

Depends. The newer Kernals really unlock a lot of features that we didn't have before, and you don't have now.
If you use your phone as your media player, than the benefits of Voodoo sound were enough to make me switch.
hey guys, i got the official rogers 2.2, can i still use voodoo? what good roms use rogers 2.2 as a base and include voodoo? any suggestions?
Hey folks, another Canadian Rogers Captivate user here...just wanted to confirm if I can use the Voodoo stable 5.4.1 for Froyo 2.2.1 as it looks like I'm on 2.2 stock (and rooted)? I'm new to android and a bit scared, but the Voodoo fix seems easy enough..
No one seems to be answering the main question posed here.
For us STOCK Rogers froyo users which version of voodoo should we use?
I am not running a custom rom, I have not used Odin (used Kies to install official froyo update). I can't seem to find a version of voodoo lagfix specifically for stock Rogers 2.2. If anyone e has it installed can you point us in the right direction?

Hi there to all asking about Voodoo for Rogers,
I have tried suckerpunch (based on speedmod)
Also tried the newest speedmod 13c
No problems with either.
I personally have tried voodoo (5.4.1 and the one for att captivate) with no luck at all.

People have been using the SpeedMod kernel which is the Rolls Royce of kernels; it enables a lot of the Captivates features and power. However, the Kernel is based on the i9000 kernel, which is the sister handset to the Captivate. The kernels are compatible across both phones, but the stock modems on captivates don't seem to do as well with some setups; you'll see this in the sprawling thread dedicated to that topic. Some people will flash an i9000 modem as well, and people seem to have varying results with different combinations.
Having said that, if you don't want to use bluetooth, the stock modem is perfectly serviceable. You could go ahead and flash your SpeedMod kernel and see vast improvements is phone function without tweaking in the handset's general recovery menu. There's also plenty there to keep the tweaksters busy
However, new to the scene is the same developers amalgam of his voodoo lagfix in a stock Rogers Froyo kernel. I'm running it now and I am still testing and checking things, but it seems fine though. There are some caveats to respect though, I just spent nearly an entire day getting my phone back to Stock Froyo after doing a bad job of 'un'lagfixing before flashing kernels. However, if it's your first endeavour into flashing or modifying your phone's software, it would be a relatively safe bet. You should not have any lagfix installed nor should you even think about doing it without doing a Titanium Backup of your phone, which would mean rooting.
Hope that helps a bit.
Clemmei.. I saw in the description of your phone that has the official version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 AT&T Gingerbread in your captivate ... How did you install, by odin? I have a Captivate I897 UCKB1, i´m interested in this oficial Rom.. Works fine?? And what version i need to chose for my modems.. Thanks!!

There is a 1-click Gingerbread UCKF1 thread in the dev forum. Thats what I am currently running and its working well so far.. The only issue I have is my GPS is crap.. but it was crap with stock froyo aswell so no big deal there.
I'm on the rogers i896 also.

It's sort of officially unofficial. It would seem to be a prebuild for a forthcoming Gingerbread release, it's tight and a great daily driver.
I did use Odin; follow the usual safety procedures and all will be well. The modem that comes with the package is great, but my 4G no longer works, it's 3G for now, but I got terrible 4G speeds anyway, so there's not much of a downgrade there.
The GPS did not function so great straight away, but I keyed in the code *#3214789650# - Settings - SUPL Settings, and changed the server to supl.google.com and the server port to 7276. I got much better results from that configuration.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the help of gps friend ... I have it installed and this great .. But you have some voovoo installed, can not find any on the net .. The voodoo 5.5.x served me just to change the start GTI9000, I do not like .. Thanks for your help..
im new in this section.
i have a nexus S my self.
but i am asking this,because my GF is getting the galaxy S today/tomorrow.
and i was wondering.
is there any ROM thats beyond the official euro update 2.3.3.
and is as stock as possible?(like the nexus S)
(at first ill let her fidle with touchwis though)
and i also need A kernel with lagfix and a bit of save over-clocking for the official euro update 2.3.3(and/or the rom any one suggested here)
thank you in advance
there are many 2.3.3 custom ROMs available for the SGS, although the SGS does NOT come stock with 2.3.3..
2.3.3 is also not available 'officially' through KIES, but it is available on a website www.samfirmware.com
which is 'leaked' official version.
and finally, EVERY custom Kernel supports lagfix, and majority of them also support Overclocking and Undervolting

my bad lol
anyway you can get a good kernel / lagfix with 2.2.1 and just apply a gingerbread theme, until the update arrives,
if your GF is anything like mine she wont even notice
awww bummer.
the problem with my gf is,she is pretty interested in what my nexus S
and my spica(that she's using for now.until she has the galaxy s) can do.
adn she asks pretty often,can i do that,how do i do this ect.
and mostly my answer is: you need root or thats only with custom kernel/rom.
2.3.3 custom ROMs with close to stock themes

Hey guys, I know it may seem a little tedious or pointless, but I want to put the stock kk4 ROM on my Rogers captivate, however I don't want to see AT&T when I boot up. People say that the KK4 ROMs are the most stable, better than Froyo, which I was so tempted to go back to due to lame battery life and so many force closes, email problems, etc. So 1) Is it possible to see this Rogers, or is there a stock KK4 (GB) 2.3.5 I assume, ROM? Is it a good idea to keep my KK4 or should I go back to some 2.2 stuff? Thanks for your time guys really appreciate the input!

To do that you need to change your Param.lfs and get a kernel with a different bootscreen. I haven't used corn lately to know if THAT kernel has a different screen, but I know its the only kernel build from source to date. You can look up mobiletechvideos.com for how to change param.lfs. GL

It comes with Heimdall, use it to flash the GB Bootloaders.

Try i9000 GB bootloader if u want to avoid the at&t bootscreen. You should try Apex 12.3 it's very great rom
Sorry for reviving an older thread, I was in the process of moving. Part of the question was whether or not I should stick to a kk4 "i897" romn my rogers captivate or go to ICS or to 2.2. Again thanks I really appreciate it.
Nothing to do with this thread but Usually OP for ICS roms have their own instructions. If you are on KK4 with Korn Corn just flash from there (might need to flash twice depending on rom). Like I said follow OP instructions but you should be good from kk4.
KoRn is a band, I think you meant Corn
So my old phone is no used by my sister and is still running Fusion ROM on Android 2.2. For some reason the wifi is no longer working and I figure I would upgrade to ICS since I am redoing things anyway. I read another thread where a guy flashed straight from Froyo to ICS and is running ok, but I remember going from Android 2.1 to 2.2 was a pain and I had to wipe, flash back to stock, flash new bootloaders, and then the Froyo ROM. I would assume going all the way to ICS which has major changes would also require something complex but just want to be sure about the process. So am I supposed to use Odin to flash stock Gingerbread and bootloaders before I upgrade to ICS? Or is it really fine and all will work if I just flash an ICS based ROM from where I am right now?
I am thinking of flashing the SlimICS ROM unless someone can tell me a reason why that ROM is not very good?
Currently the phone has the 2.2 firmware, i897UCKB1 baseband, 2.6.32.9 kernel, and is running Fusion 1.9.8 ROM. I am not sure on the bootloader version, but I have a file on my PC from a long time ago called "galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5" that I think I probably used to update the bootloader all that time ago when I moved to Froyo.
See TRusselo's "[Guide] How to flash ANY Captivate Rom from Stock (including ICS)" that is a stickied thread in the Q&A Forum...
