[Q] New to all of this...

Hi I just got my Samsung Captivate and have already rooted it. I want to add a ROM to it (Most likely Phoenix 2.2.1)
I was wondering, do I need Froyo 2.2 to use this ROM, or will the ROM install that for me? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm honestly confused by the whole thing
Thanks for your help

The rom gives you 2.2.1. Make sure you read, read, read

I did read but its a very confusing thread ^_^
Thank you for your help though!

I talking about everything in general. Read. God luck

As it was said, wrong section, and there is a thread about darky so.. pff.
Your issue seems to be recovery 3e, flash with odin a cf root or custom (speedmod, voodoo..) kernel. That's all.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

People are helpful... provided that you ask in the right place.

Just flash a kernel with 2e android recovery using odin, and you'll be set. then just copy the zip to internal sd and flash it from clockworkmod recovery

Friendly helpful yes but extremely peed off with Darky users who cannot be bothered to ask him read the posts read the faqs ask for help on Darkys help channel .Majority of helps on these pages are from Darky users .One gets a bit fed up pointing out that the developer knows whats in his rom and how to fix it the forum is XDA not solve dargy rom problem forum .Many members will have no knowledge of Darkys rom thats why we say ask Darky .
If you cannot read simple instructions like Q&A in correct section as you have not bothered to look /read/understand then you are going to break your phone .

[Q] ICS for SGS+

Hey Guys,
please excuse my bad english and my stupid questions.
I am not very good in the development things and I don't have much know-how, so I have to post "unnecessary" questions.
I am waiting for ICS for my Samsung Galaxy S Plus, currently running Android 2.3.5. I know that an official version won't be released, so I need a Rom.
At first, I thought that a SGS + is just a "tuned" version of the I9000, but I think this is wrong. So I can't use a I9000- Rom for my I9001.
But is there a rom currently in development? Is somebody portating the I9000 Roms for the I9001?
I can't find another thread to post my question. This is simply:
How can I get a working Rom of ICS for my SGS + (I9001)?
Thank you for your replies and your "patience",
Daniel

Wait for a dev to port it to i9001

Sorry, but I don't know what a dev is and I don't know how to port that to i9001...

Wait until one or more ROM developers (dev, devs) port an existing ICS ROM to I9001.

Ah, okay, now I've understood. Does it need a long time until such a port exists? I've seen lots of Roms for the I9000, but no one for the I)001... is there no Dev Team that is interested in a port for the 9001? Or is it easyer to take a 9000 rom and port it for the 9001 because it i quite similar!?

dev=developer...

you can't install that ROM on your phone since that ROM was made for "Galaxy Ace S5830".
Your phone is Galaxy Ace S5830"i". there's a different forum section for your phone.
here's the link. CLICK ME! Galaxy Ace S5830"i"

Thanks

Thank you, i searched s5830i roms, and i came across the site unlockr..?? it was in a variety of Galaxy ace roms, but they did not specify, i do have one installed now, but do you know of any links with more of these roms? I seen that there is very little, but is this true? :good:

Sorry but I don't know any other sites that has ROMs for an Ace i.
Unfortunately, yes. There's not a lot of developers/users of ace i compared to the first generation of galaxy ace(which is the s5380 w/o the letters).
there's a couple of good roms that are available on the section i gave you tho. you should try them out.
I checked a couple of threads there's an on going CM7 project for your phone.
If you're not going to upgrade phone yet, maybe you should try a custom stock rom and wait for the cm7 to reach its beta.
anyway, you're very welcome to ask me through PM. I can guide you and teach you the basics(since I got nothing to do and I'm bored).
Cheers.

[Q] Samsung galaxy ace s5830D will not let me use the bootloader, please help

Hey guys,
I have a Samsung galaxy ace s5830D. As I have sort of figured out it is different than the galaxy ace s5830 and the s5830i. I was able to root it with superoneclick. But my bootloader just says "installation aborted" when I try installing clockwork mod or any custom roms. If you have a fix for this that would be greatly appreciated !
Sorry if I'm kind of a noob. But i can't find any threads for this phone at all /:
Thanks, guys.

Bootloader?? Shouldn't you flash it in the recovery ??

The s5830D is not really that much different than the standard s5830, other than regional stuff. I have the "D" model and have been using the info for the standard s5830. Same roms, recovery and tutorials work.

Would you be so kind as to link to the appropriate s5830 roms and tuts that worked out for you, please?
I've seen some thread where people haven't had as good luck as yourself with s5830 stuff working on s5830D devices.

I cant remember for sure which one I used for cwm, but this one seems familiar to me. As for ROM's its a matter of finding one you like, read the developers threads to get an idea of if that ROM is what you want. At the moment I'm using Democracy final, but I change ROM's like crazy. lol. Another one I am fond of is Apocolypse. Again, these both appealed to me and suited my use of my Ace. Just make sure that anytime you flash anything thats it's for the s5830, as flashing something for other variants will brick your phone..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797986
If you want to check out the 2 roms I mentioned:
Democracy Final Edition
Apocolypse Final

Similar problem but I can't figure it out
oops nvm, delete this post
