Not yet....we have to wait til 6.1
Awww. I want it now.
Sorry, didn't mean to get you all excited for nothing! Don't worry though, we'll definitely post once CM6 is released for any Galaxy S devices - that's something people will want to know

Will they release a version of the mod for the i9000 (the eu one not the vibrant)?

Obviously yes, since phones are almost identical (you can even cross-flash firmwares, but you have to be careful about it).
If and when CM6.1 comes out, this board will be a flurry of activity and you will definitely not miss it.
Also it will be stickied at the top of the board
has any tried it to see if it does work?

tried to see if what works? all thats been announced is that galaxy s is on the official "supported" list, so no mod for it yet but we will get the mod when they release 6.1
http://lifehacker.com/5624778/cyano...stom-froyo-goodness-to-tons-of-android-phones
Lifehacker (sister site of Gizmodo) is also reporting that it supports Galaxy S phones.
There is only a start of CM6 for SGS. Check status here:

I am fairly new to Android ..But still heard the buzz about the fantastic cyanogen mods .. I also read that because of copyrights etc .. cyanogen mod do not contain google items ( market, gmail etc) ...Does that mean I can't use any of the googleprograms or can the be ( legaly) downloaded and installed in the rom ?
What makes the cyanogenmod so special that we even want that into our sweet SGS' ??

Although there's been some good answers already, what I'm particularly interested in is that the 6.x releases are all Froyo based which will bring a load of new amazing to the SGS, and depending on the CM release schedule, it may well in fact come to the galaxy BEFORE the official samsung froyo rom.
If that happens, it'll be a major coup for the CM guys, to not only be better than the stock rom, but to be dropping before samsung.
Froyo brings JIT and naitive apps2sd, which is awesome, as well as plenty of other goodies. The reason why the N1 recently jumped almost up to SGS levels on quadrant on 2.2 is because of JIT coding, so expect a pretty impressive jump in performance for us.
Also, there's the possibility that the CM rom will totally drop samsungs crappy slow ass proprietary file system that's caused so much woe for our devices, which translates into no need for lagfixes, and generally improved performance all around.
Thinking of streamlining stuff... No more bloatware, just the services and apps we need, which translates into better memory management, and so better stability and even better performance for multi-tasking.
Finally, no need for GPS fixes. CM should be coming with good, accurate and thoroughly tested gps code.
So yeah... All the joy of Froyo, minus the samsung junk, thats been developed by SGS users for SGS users. Might not see everything perfect in 6.1, but it will sure as hell be a leap forward. *straps myself in*

It just happens to be the best build of Android out there, by far! Runs like a bat out of hell on my Nexus One, would love to have it on my SGS.

Judging by the thread over at the CM forums, yes, they've tried - they've also tried hacking it on, with no progress. It's not something you can easily just drop in. If you want the dirty tech details, head over http://www.cyanogenmod.com and check the SGS section of the forums. You'll see which thread.
Looks like theres already an alpha version in the works
Scepterr is the person adjusting it and hes already droping some good teasers

Nice, I just can't wait to see the best hardware phone out there with the best software
Not sure if this goes here or not, but has anyone seen this today? I am surprised that it has not been talked about in here. Has anyone tried it yet?

Its full of bugs and there is not a re-orient kernel for it yet. Its not ready for primetime yet, unfortunately .
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Posting a re-oriented kernel shortly. Sound through headphones doesn't seem to work. Most everything else does. The whole still beta thing definitely applies.
personally I am hoping that nexus S turns out to be pretty similiar to the Galaxy S. With the source and a good base I think we are more likely to get a 2.3 version of CM before 2.2
is CM6 gonna be that much better for our phones?

While I'm pretty sure they are almost exactly the same phone, I really doubt we're going to get source anytime soon. They are a couple of weeks away from a CM 6.1 beta release. It will have alot of the same issues the i9k roms do, but it should work well enough for most people.
I'm just glad Cyanogen has shown interest in the Galaxy S. That makes me feel like we'll see continued development, in addition to all the great devs already here for the Galaxy S series.

xcaliberinhand's kernel should work.... as long as its a I9000 kernel I don't think there would be a problem, except for the already known issues.

No, it won't. You have to use the one that glitterballs made from xcaliberinhands source and cyanogenmods kernel combined. The base i9k kernel won't work properly. Too many Samsung hooks in it I guess.

Cyanogen's appeal isn't just the ROM, there are tons of ROM builders. The Cyanogen team actually modifies the Android source quite a bit. (more so than some of the other tweaks found in some ROMs)
I don't understand. Why would this be mentioned in the Captivate section of this site? What does this mean for Captivate users?

Cause if CM can be re-oriented, we are going to get a much more powerful build than the our current Official/Modified ROMs

It was actually Aery and a few other i9000 devs, cyanogen actually had nothing to do with this port. Not really super important but I am a fan of credit where credit is due.

haha, good question. I think it's when you modify a kernel to work for another device. So, you would re-orient a I9000 kernel to work on a Captivate. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Better yet, elaborate if I'm right.

I'm fairly certain the name derives from the fact that an i9000 ROM would be rotated 90 degrees without it.

I am about to flash my first ROM and looking for quick recommendations on a good ROM.
Speed is more important than battery life, and apart from that do have any other specific requirements
Mine.

No one can give you an objective answer. And this belongs in Q&A.
I don't need anything too specialized yet. Just something recent & popular & widely used. ie the top favourites around here.
Thanks. Will take a look at yours. Are they some of the most popular around here?

Take a look at Doc's. Fastest interface and best GPS I've ever had. Plus you can easily customize your own rom using the online kitchen
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882397
Kitchen: www.romkitchen.org
Serendipity 2.0 is THE best ROM out there as far as speed goes imo.
It will EAT your battery up though since it's oc'ed. I haven't experienced to bad but I can tell with just a lil bit more usage it would drain quick.
I would wait for Firefly (few hours till released) and try that. It's going to be fast, smooth, and perfect without being oc'ed. Will also have great battery life and GPS will work for sure. My friend told me this; he has the beta. Lol
Assonance.

Darkys v8!
Extremely stable, very fast, GPS is decent, battery life is *meh* i get about 12-13 hours on heavy to moderate usage but I charge it on my way home from work in the car.
Gingerbread themed, a lot of customation, very active developer, updates come out very easy to install ect.
Just my 2 cents
My recommendation is to become an addict and try them all.

I was wondering if there is a way to determine what kernel is on the phone? Like a way to check it...? I know I can check the kernel version...would that be how to determine? I must sound dumb...wow...lol.
Your phone info screen should show it.
I thought so. I had an HTC 8925 before this, so the Android world is all new to me. I know basic things and have already successfully flashed two phones with custom ROMs as well as flashed my own captivate back to stock. My brother also gave me his old Motorola Droid and I use it as a way of learning as well. I know the hardware on both is different but it's still a good way of learning I feel. I even helped a friend root and flash Cyanogen onto his HTC Inspire. He recently went back to stock without the bloatware...which reminds me. Does a ROM of the stock without bloatware exist for the Captivate? I've searched but haven't had much luck...
Also, forgot to mention I had Myn's warm donut on that HTC. It ran well enough but the battery issues were never worked out for me.

Pinnacle is a great ROM. Its pretty close to stock, really smooth, really good battery life, and not a lot of flashy stuff, just really reliable. No bloatware at all... except it isn't being developed on anymore. There's one called Illumination (not the exact name but its close enough you'll find it) and it looks good and is being developed still. Its actually based off of Pinnacle too. I don't have any personal experience with it though.

No problem, I'm glad it's working well for you. I have so much stuff installed on this ROM I'm probably not flashing anything till something truly official drops (if ever).
I originally installed Serendipity 6.3, then Serendipity 7.0 and then MIUI. I've found I like the interface for MIUI the best, but the phone goes noticeably slower and doesn't have good battery life. Which Captivate ROM would the community here recommend to get a good balance of features vs performance? Also, a pet peeve of mine is the Samsung custom dialer that changes orientation, so please make sure the ROM does NOT come preinstalled with that. Thanks!
