Hey everyone, Im rooting my friends captivate (which I just did) but ROM manager isn't on the market. I want to install a custom ROM for him but without this, I can't. Can anyone explain this? My samsung vibrant shows ROM manager but his captivate doesn't

In this thread, especially towards the end after someone posted the GPS fix, everybody is talking about how fantastic thier GPS is working. I'm running 2.1.6 of Cognition, and while I love the ROM, I'd love to be able to say my GPS runs well.
What is involved in getting a Vibrant ROM to work on Captivate? Are they close enough to work?

They are not close enough to be able to put the Vibrant ROM on without any modifications. There are a couple cross platform ROMS the Eugene has made, basically a Vibrant ROM that uses code from the Captivate. Otherwise we are SOL for their ROM's.
can i get a link to the vibrant roms that are compatible now?
Cognition 2.41 is a vibrant hybrid
Captivate
Cog 2.4
So when you flash a ported vibrant, or even i9000, rom what version of Clockwork recovery would you flash? Is it still the captivate version or would be the appropriate version for the rom installed?

If I remember correctly you would still select Captivate because of the hardware.

Ok, thanks, just something I've always been wondering
Hello Fam! I have a:
Samsung Captivate SGH I897
Currently running :
Cognition, 2.1.7
I'm looking to Change ROM's and I have a couple questions.
1) What is the best Rom for Battery life that has some cool Graffix/annimations
2) Do I have to Flash my Phone back to Stock before I flash a new ROM?
3)I recently Flashed my phone to Darky's 8.1 Somehow i ended up with the I9000 version and it crashed/bricked my phone. I spent 3+ hours restoring a bricked phone. anyone know a fix or a i897 version of this rom??
I liked what I saw of Darky's 8.1 but I need a stable version or a Rom that is Similar.
All help/Suggestions are greatly appreciated

1) most roms have video reveiws on youtube.
2) most well made roms say its not necessary, but could never hurt more than help! whats an extra 5 minutes for peace of mind?
3)if you are an att user, use odins one click to restore to stock. (Not odin3 1.7 diff program).

I actually really liked this ROM Thanks! Can you give me a quick run down on how I should install it? I've flashed a few roms but my most recent attempt was un-sucessfull. also, how do I apply the Blue Theme? Or any "theme" for that matter. I thought each ROM had its own theme.
I D/L Both files from the link u provided just need a little instruction.
morning (or evening depending on where you are!)
so my much beloved x10 mini pro died on me recently and ive taken to using my old m8800 at the moment. My lovely wife has told me she is getting me the galaxy mini for christmas (not too far away).
so just to fill you in im aware of how to root an android phone (superoneclick normally does the trick) and changed the rom on my mini pro several times. basically what im looking for is an opinion (advice if you will) on the best rom or roms for the galaxy mini. my intention is to change what will be the current stock 2.2 for something in a 2.3!!
any suggestions would be great as would any pitfalls to watch out for with what im sure will be a large amount of roms that are available.
many thanks
Jim
NOTE: SuperOneClick works only on 2.2. For 2.3 Upd_1.zip trick should work. You can find all custom ROMs in Development section of Mini. And I'm not sure which is the best ROM available. And as you are going for 2.3 you can find stock ROMs in sammobile.com
Good luck!
the galaxy mini i will be getting is running on android 2.2 so superonclick should be ok for the initial rooting of the phone, i understand that there may be a firmware upgrade to android 2.3.3 available through samsungs keis software but ill see what is around before i get the phone so i know what my choices are.
thanks for the response
No point in rooting froyo cuz ultimately u'll endup using cm7 most probably...so as soon as u get ur phone, update it to 2.3.4 via kies or Odin method...flash cwm and flash cm7.
Done deal.
Note: what I said here is not period.

You'll lose the root access (which is done in 2.2) when you upgrade to Android 2.3, just in case for info.

ROM Manager is not supported for Galaxy Mini. Those who had installed probably had screwed their phones. So stay away from it.
Well, i use srock 2.3.4... works fine. But, tried custom, and it slowed my phone down big time...

Thanks for your reply. Sorry im newbies
Cwm from ROM manager doesn't brick now.
But it works perfectly for some but not for others.

Yes, agreed with you. I think we need to manually override the installation of CLock Work Mod recovery to make Rom Manager Working after flashing latest CWM recovery manually using Odin.

I am new to rooting, flashing and stuff. I have a Thrill. I wanted to know whether you HAVE to flash a rom that was made for your phone... Like, is it possible to flash (with functionality) a rom made for the EVO or another phone?

No. It has to be a P925, P925G/H, or P920

I posted this in the Note 2 forum, but it is very quiet over there, so has any one found a custom Samsung rom that does not cripple the watches features?
I will be using this on a Note 2.
I am looking for a rom that would not throw up a flag with Samsung Galaxy Gear software.

So any roms that are compatible with proprietary Samsung apps?
Thank you, and Happy New Year.
I'm on cm12.1 having same issue. I was wondering if it was a root issue or ROM issue. What ROM are you on
you must make sure that you are running a touchwiz rom for easiest support... it can be done on others but this is where i would start. hope this helps!
no roms yet?
i need any rom suggestion
