i peeked at a few of the 2.3.4 ROMs and it seems that they're all heavily themed or modded.
is there one that is close to stock with only a few tasteful mods?
thanks
2.3.4-For Captivate, no. For the i9000, there is JVP& JVQ. You have to use a reoriented kernel with the I9000 roms.
2.3.3-For Captivate, kinda. UCKF1 is a leak, but a very stable one. Cognition 5 is built off the kf1. Since kf1 is a leak, it can't really be called official stock.
thanks. looks like i'm gonna grab a stock JVQ ROM. any recommendations for a kernel that would work best with that?
PS. i was looking at the stock i9000 roms on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
I would go with the Talon kernel. It has a lot if features, plus you can choose from 4 different clock speeds (1000, 1200,1300& 1400).
Asfor downloading firmware, I would go to www.samfirmware.com. They have a large selection, but you will have to register (free) to dl anything.

Try out the latest Talon kernel. Works great with the JVQ ROM I have.
so the stock samfirmware ROMs are preferred to the deodexed ones found here on XDA?
ty!
I prefer to dl from samfirm if I can, buy I think you would be ok using either.
gave jvq with talon a shot. got the home key working (except haptic - trying to fix that resulted in boot loop). put aosp theme on it. looked amazing, however i found that set up a bit sluggish than i'm used to, and also the the touchscreen seemed a bit insensitive.
so running 2.3.3 kf1 now. like it so far...
Apex 8.2, JVQ, 2.3.4 ...... It look like Galaxy S2 stock... and I recommend you DarkCore Kernel... Talon is so laggy for me!

Hi,
I currently have Darkyy's ROM on my Galaxy S but I'm not very happy with it (bluetooth doesnt work and so on...).
So I want to install a stock firmware... 2.3.3 to be exactly.
I just found the Link in the Thread "Stock Firmwares..." but the filename is "I9000XXJVK"... my current firmware is "I9000XXJPY" - so is this a problem?
Would be nice to get an answer soon!
Thanks!
Which Darky Rom are you at? You should realy try 9.5 its the best ROM Darky has ever made.
But back to your topic, you should flash the JVK with bootloaders I guess or you will have a creapy screen at the boot. Stock JVK isn't a final Gingerbread. Its still beta but very stable.
Sent from my GALAXY S 2.3.3 using XDA App
no problem. just remove the lagfix and follow the procedure step by step.
if you want to be extra safe, you could flash back to stock samsung rom, with repartition and pit file, and then go to JVK - gingerbread.
aslong as you follow the instructions to a Tee, you wil be fine.
I'm running 9.3 and it doesnt work for me right. Bluetooth doesnt work, my music player starts random and much more...
Oh and I thought that JVK is the official one by Samsung.. so should I try it or should I change to the MIUI Rom for example (looks also good and is 2.3.x)?
i am running MIUI rom now and i have to say. ITS FRIKKIN AWESOME.
its so customisable, so completely different from samsung roms. i would highly recommend it, i have been thru every rom going, but MIUI is definately one to stick to.
quick updates, very helpful devs, issues fixed asap. overall 10/10
Sounds good so far
So I'm going to try MIUI, thanks azzledazzle!
Hey there guys,
I've had my Galaxy S for about a month now and thinking that its about time to get rid of 2.1 and go for the big 2.2.1 jump.
I just want a stable, fast and reliable version that I can get a speed fix installed on and I want battery percentage.
With so many ROMs out there can someone reccomend a good basic stable ROM to update to? And as a newbie is there a easy walk through that I can follow.
I've that there is a couple of gingerbread releases out there. Are any of them official stable versions for the Galaxy S?

Js8 + rom (most people go for darky 9.5)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
From my own experience I can recommend Criskelo Rom - stable, reliable, fast.
But really, you should choose on your own because there are some differences
People would call me boring, but I like stock JS8 + Voodoo Kernel
I like Doc's JS8 because of the kitchen and they always work flawless and are super fast. This way i get what i want the CSC/Modem for my region and only the apps i want. I used only two ROM's Darky and Doc and i prefer Doc due to customization and actually find it much faster then DArky even though Darky's has a higher Quadrant score. Main reason for me not to use Darky is im in Canada and the ROM is more or less geared for europe.
I have never had slowness/lag problems, everything is quick and snappy and this is with lagfix off. Using Speedmod K13c with recommend tweaks on and no lagfix.
When official 2.3 comes out from samsung that is the only time i will update as its PREFECT right now.
+1 for Doc's ROM.
I like that you can customize it the way you want it, choosing the modem, csc, kernel, apps, etc. So you can just install the ROM from CWM and that's it, all working in one go.
I have Doc's JS8 with Damian's Kernel with all ext2, and it works great, IMO, smooth, no lags ever, great battery life. All I ever wanted.
HOW? You'll need CWM to install it (You'll need to flash a kernel with it using Odin if your phone doesn't have it yet.). Just go to romkitchen.org and customize your own ROM with all you want/need, download the generated zip file into your SD Card and install it. Simple as that.
Using
Rom: - Doc V11.1 - ZSJPK,
CSC: - XEU
Kernel: - Damian v1.3 beta 3 (EXT 2)
Modem: - ZSJPG
Undervolt: - 25mv (not stable for anything higher......my phone issue)
Overclock: - 1.280 Ghz
Stable, fast and smooth. Battery life is good as well.
Are you already rooted? If not SuperOneClick works well with stock 2.2.
Next, the easiest kernel to flash as a firsttimer using Odin is definetly Speedmod. Hardcore's instructions are clear and exact. This will give you Clockwork Mod.
Finally, build yourself a ROM in Doc's Kitchen. You can control exactly what elements are installed and the walk throughs linked to the main Kitchen thread make it dead simple.
After you have used one of Doc's ROMs for awhile, if you wish to you can try one of the more baroque custom ROMs like Darky's.

This actually seems logically possible.
If we can use a reoriented i9000 kernel + i9000 modem on a captivate rom, why can't we use a matching captivate modem+ kernel on an i9000 rom?
I thought the important thing is to match the modem and kernel...

Well, accidentally I ended with this configuration:
ROM: Apex 9.2 (JVR)
KERNEL: Talon 4.4.22 (JVR)
MODEM: KH3
Teoretically this shouldnt be happening but everything seems to be working O.K. No Force Closes, WCDMA 850, average battery life, WiFi, etc.

Yes I ran that combo until I got a phone call and the other person could not hear me and the volume was cutting in and out flashed back to JL2 all is good again
Running Dlevs 5.0, and latest talon kernel, modem JL2
As you can see from my signature I am still running 2.2 ROMs. I just prefer the stability, and have zero issues with both that I am using now on different captivates. One of them, Continuum 4.1 is and i9000 rom, using Onyx kernel with jk4, the other is the i897 Cognition, cog kernel, kb1.
I think, based on what I am reading here, I will try to intall the i897 modem and kernel on the Continuum 4.1 ROM. I really like this ROM but REALLY prefer the sound quality of the i897 roms because of the Audience chip.
I will experiment this weekend and report back. As of now, I prefer not to do this kind of experimentation with the GB roms. Anyone else interested in seeing how this turns out?

Hi Jack man,
if you are still considering flashing i897 kernel & modem , my captivate is still Froyo 2.2 stock (rooted), with the uckb2 modem and kernel 2.6.32.9. I already have a dump of the kernel (I checked is working) and could send you a dump of the uckb2 modem (unchecked, I'm unsure about flashing this one back, since I have the 100% battery shutdown issue and still considering a RMA) if you are willing to try.
Let me know,
Angel
Well, I experimented. Here's what I used and how it went.
I installed Continuum 4.1 (a froyo 2.2 rom) then flashed the Exist kb1 kernel along with the kb1 modem. I thought everything was going to be fine. Calls worked fine, data seemed ok but slower than I was expecting, but when I went to turn on wifi if just didn't work. I made sure it was't the router - my wife's phone was working fine on the router, along with a laptop on it.
it would also not connect to the neighbor's router either. Flashed back to Cog4.5.3 - wifi worked fine.
Too bad, because I really like the small features of Continuum 4.1
If anyone has any ideas to fix the wifi in this setup let me know. I would love to keep it.
im very confused about the captivates organization of roms and what is and is not jvb and jvh.. i own a fascinate. and the only (only letter) acronym used with the fascinate are our "MTD" roms which is the file system used for our aosp roms..
what roms are jvb, jvh? what is your most current source? gingerbread or froyo? what is your most current ota?
JVB, JVH etc are leaked builds for international galaxy S I9000 which have been ported to work with captivate. If you go by this JVR which is 2.3.4 is latest.
But all these are I9000 sources modded to work on captivate. If you are looking at stock captivate build it is KF1 which is GB 2.3.3. KF1 is also a leaked build
Ok.. I have decided to go straight to miui. On the fascinate I would just odin all in 1 stock. Odin a recovery. Flash rom with kernel. It seems like all the guides I find want me to root.. Why would I root if I'm leaving the rom behind end going straight to a rooted rom? .. Is there a guide to flashing miui for captivate I'm not seeing? On fassinate you must flash cm7 first. I'm thinking I would do the same here right?

In answer to your question, here is the guide.
You'll want to be rooted for one simple reason - usually rooting allows you to install the ClockworkMod Recovery Menu (CWM) that will make installing Roms on the Captivate a whole lot easier.
Judging from the guide, you don't need to flash CM7 first. Just make sure you're running the original Froyo/Eclair bootloaders (if you haven't flashed gingerbread, you should have them), and that holding Vol+/Vol-/Power gets you to the recovery menu and that holding Vol+/Vol- and inserting your USB cable gets you to download mode.
Other than that, MIUI away.
Is your version of miui a mtd based rom?

I honestly couldn't tell you. I haven't used MIUI, so I don't have any experience to say. The MIUI info page is a little sparse, but a quick search in the thread does mention MTD a few times, so it's possible.
Cappy miui is MTD based. Gingerbread bootloaders do work but the stock miui/cm7 kernel doesnt ssupport them yet so you'll need to flash a kernel that does support the gb bootloaders such as TalonMTD

Hi all,
I'm new to android and some things I do not understand, for example I have the galaxy captivate with the following characteristic:
Rom Android 2.3.4 I897UCKH3
boog_kh3_kernel3
su-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip
I updated my cellphone using these files, and all works fine but I wanted install a new kernel the last talondev, but after install it I think that my sgs is on soft bricked, displays the logo of AT & T and then starts "loading talon...", but then restarts.
This kernel can be used with the rom? it is compatible? or What should I do to choose a kernel?
Best regards
Talon is I9000 port kernel you are using native I897 rom. Use Samurai, Corn kernel or Boog's kernel. Actually Im not sure there is a corn or samurai kernel for KH3. I know they have it for KJ roms.
I have to find kernels for KH3, right?
Thanks
Correct. Or update to a newer leak like KJ3 as a example.
And I can change to a custom rom? or that such the cm7 rom?
I talk to do this to exit the soft brick and have it back.
thanks
CM7 has its own special instructions. I haven't kept up with it so go to their thread and read. But ya you can change to custom roms like Fusion IX, Fasty and others that are based of a newer firmware version.

You need to flash back to boog kernel. If this does not work it is best you re-flash to stock KH3 with the one-click solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Choose the one WITHOUT bootloaders since you already have those on the phone. It is safer that way.
Regarding CM7 ROMs. You must know they are completely different system compared to the normal Captivate ROMs. Read this thread before flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150
Don't get me wrong. THEY ARE VERY GOOD CUSTOM ROMs...absolutely. But you cannot mix and match.....Follow CM7 instructions strictly.
thanks for the replies, I will be reading information about their opinions.
thank you very much , I'll let you know the results.
