I want to know if anyone out there knows how to port a rom from the Samsung vibrant. The rom is called simply galaxy v2.7.2, it is a very fast rom. Here is the link:http://www.multiupload.com/PJIZ8D3PT6
Please reply back ASAP and thank you in advance

not sure if its the same rom or not but there already is a simply galaxy for the captivate, you would have to see who makes each rom
Its not to difficult to get one to work but it breaks a few features between the two phones i think
Thank you but I don't think the rom your talking about is completely stable. Plus the rom that I posted was constantly updated. Please if you can port, then let me know. Or can you find someone who can.

why dont you port it?
coming from a vibrant, all you need is to swap the kernel and the modem.....and edit the build.prop
easy stuff
I really don't know how to port it, can you just please do it.

'porting' it would require you to download the rom zip
open rom zip with 7zip (do not extract)
open up a kernel zip that you want to use (must match 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 to corresponding rom version)
drag n drop zImage from the kernel zip into the updates folder in the rom zip
do the same thing with modem.bin file from a modem zip
if you want the phone to be recognized as an sgh-i897 you need to open up /system/build.prop with notepad (i use notepad++ for everything on windows boxes) and make all references to T959 say i897

DO NOT use ROM manager, it was created with the best of intentions but ultimately causes more problems than it helps with.

whoah.....this is false!
ROM manager has been around a lot longer than the captivate has.....and it works great on other android devices that ARENT samsung
rom manager is PERFECT for stock roms.
rom manager is bad when you have ClockworkMod built into the kernel already.!
ridethelight is on a bad roll today.
So how do i know if its built in?
Perfect 3g..little to no edge.. live in edge area.. bought the phone from a craigslist user needless to say in a 3g area.
About phone :

Any suggestions ?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
you would check out the page for your kernel but yes it does have it.
and looking at your rom... ect. you have already flashed a rom/kernel/modem (all in one) package.
so ya go back to post 3 instructions. also to get into recovery just long press the powerbutton then press 'recovery' it is easier than the button method in post 3.
Ok thanks alot. U all have been a big help !

Ill take the new version and i saw some stuff on the dev page but i dont really understand it. On my infuse all i do is download the zip, and install it thru cwm. Not sure if the cap is the same.

Well for Cog 5 you will need to flash GB bootloaders. BUT the 3 steps on the OP will work. There some risk when flashing bootloaders, but read up on how to use ODIN and they key combinations, nothing to it =)
I dont know...i looked back on the dev page but i cant download anything since i dont have unknown sources. Ill dig around for a video or something.

If its stock, then its just getting CWM on that phone and flashing it. To get CWM theres a few ways to do that, simplest would be get a 1 click root from dev (AIO toolkit is very useful) and install Rom Manager from the market install CWM. Move the Cog zip file to your phones Internal SD reboot in recovery (Rom manager has the feature to do that) and flash from SD, look for the cog file.
How can I create a CWM .zip file to install all the apps i have downloaded and use on my Galaxy S?
Thanks.
There used to be one on the insanity thread, with walkthrough on how to use, not sure if you can still download it though, if its not there I will ask nitr8 to upload it, or try surface rom, there may be one there

I had a look but couldn't find anything to do this.
ever wanted to flash back to froyo but didnt want to use the almighty odin? well here is a simple solution that should let u install froyo on a gb build without any errors
1.open the 2.2 rom you want to flash on the file explorer on your computer then click into the META-INF folder then com, google, android, and u will see the file updater script, delete that file (if u have problems getting that to delete use a program like winrar)
2.put the updater script u downloaded in replace of the old one (if winrar or any other program made u unzip the file and didnt zip it back up automaticlly make sure its done then place the file back to your phone and flash away
dont forget about the thanks button

This is helpful, but you have to know why first. The difference is the difference in the install scripts. In CWM versions before CWM3, we used amend scripting. Amend scripting is no longer supported in CWM3 and above, it now uses edify scripting.
Kernels that contain recovery prior to CWM3, you can flash the old scripts just fine. For example, cmenards latest JVQ based kernel supports both amend and edify scripting, and is based off CWM 2.5.x.x.
Its all in knowing what you are running, and what's compatible.
I wont get too preachy on this, but Odin is your friend, nothing to be scared or wary of, and with regular use to actually set you back to stock, will create a much better running environment for your Vibrant experience. Shortcuts around it will eventually cause all kinds of issues.

Wondering
Has this worked for anyone?
The OP missed some key points in this "guide".
If your zip file is using is using the old amend scripting, then there will be one file called update-script (not updater).
The newer scripts, edify scripting, uses two files, update-binary and updater-script, and you need both files if your kernel or recovery method is cwm3 or later, edify scripting only.
Or you could save a dev a future headache, and just use Odin.

Well the rom i used has both of those Eugene rom which zip is edify an when i flashed it was doing kernel then it started to flashed words disapperd an came back it an then it rebooted and then it looped on flash part
I'm just going to say, if you can use ODIN, do it.

You're talking about his last deadhorse kernel. That one, if memory serves me, even has a pre-kernel flash that you did through sgs kernel flasher, then the rom and full kernel. Coming from that one friend, I do believe Odin is your only option.

Follow the steps in this thread (But it's jellybean) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813924 I used this step to compile my own CM10 and my own Semaphore Kernel with custom tweaks. Just replace where it says "galaxys" with "captivatemtd".

winrar
you can start looking how the zip is structured, you can use winrar for that, for example system/app contains the apps that are preinstalled you can delete apps you dont want, or system/media that cointains bootanimation file ringtones etc
You can build a custom ROM if you use a already built ROM as your base. But if you want to build a custom ROM from the ground up, you need to compile the ROM from source. And that needs to be done on a Linux machine or a Mac. Don't quote me on this though, as I am still learning also. But I am building my custom ROM from source, on a Linux machine. Backtrack 5 to be exact.
