So i want to update my rooted captivate to 2.2 finally and i just had a few questions if you guys dont mind. non-noob of course ; )
1) I havent been keeping up with the news on the leaked 2.2 for captivate as much as i should have been but currently is there a good enough version of the leaked 2.2 to be upgrading too?
2) I was not wanting to get a rom or a build with all sorts of frillz and thrills taged along with it (like lag fixes, extra apps and all those shenanigans) , i was just wanting to get the best and newest build or leaked 2.2 for captivate; a clean version, then after that i will probably apply a lag fix of my own.
-If you could kindly link me to the correct thread of what im lookin for, thad be great! haha thx
-BTW: if you think what i plan to do is a bad idea or there are just to amny downsides to doing what im planning on doing ( just using a clean version of the leaked 2.2) please by all means i would love to hear your comments.
PS: this is sorta what im looking for (clean and simple 2.2):I just thought though that sense this is so old, there might be a better one out there.

Do you need the samsung touchwiz stuff? If you only want the launcher, go for Cognition 2.3b6. Based on a captivate froyo leak and the stable captivate 2.2 that you might be looking for.
What do you mean by "if i only want the launcher", please expand on this a little more
And thx for the reply

You may want to define "native apps". Seeing as how we don't have an official release, how are we to know what is native?
And that was more than one question.
Im pretty sure that it was confirmed that 2.2 was officaly released for captivate. Its just that at&t hasnt given it to us yet.

there is absolutely no OFFICIAL release of 2.2 for the captivate. it was confirmed that there are OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL LEAKS of 2.2

I'm guessing you want ALL the touchwiz goodness? By launcher I just mean the touchwiz launcher. Just go install one of the froyo leaks if you want everything.
What are the bad things or the downsides to just getting one of the froyo leaks, instead of getting like a cog rom

You get a lot less options. It's a pain in the ass flashing to other roms because I believe recovery is messed up or something (I've never tried out the froyo leak but I heard so many problems with it). Devs continue working on their ROMs whereas froyo leak, it's just a leak and it's done.
Read up on stuff please and try stuff out for yourself. Know what you're flashing before you flash so that you don't have to come on XDA in desperation saying your recovery is busted or your phone is bricked. Reading helps a lot, I can tell from experience.
Aiet, thx

I have a Motorola Droid1 that I haven't rooted but would to get some gingerbread action. Is anyone working on a working rom? Or is there a rom I just couldn't find? I know the Droid Eris has one so I figured the Droid would be able to handle it. Links would be great!

Check CM7 alpha build for droid!
Yeah for DROID not for Milestone
i think i saw a gingerbread rom somewhere in the motorola development area, and i think its stock, so no CM mods unfortunately, but might be more stable than the alpha
There are two unstable builds getting some attention. They're quite unfinished, and most people probably wouldn't want to use them as their production ROM.
ROMs that have a Gingerbread look to them (such as CM and BB) for the Droid are still based on 2.2.1 (Froyo) with custom themes.
The only determining factor on whether I stick with OEM ROM or flash monster/steeldroid ROM is this: do these custom ROMs have a single bug?
So, users of monster and steeldroid ROMs: are there any bugs?
There are absolutely bugs in both ROMs but there are bugs in OEM too. Both SD and Monster run so much faster than stock. You can still do everything youre used to on the roms. CM7 had the phone broke at one point but even thats fixed now.
Thanks.
I've got one more question if anyone can answer it. Do either of these ROMs I mentioned work on the Verizon Wireless Droid 3 or the GSM Droid 3?
I own the Verizon Wireless one (gotta make sure I don't flash an incompatible ROM by accident).
What, DarkDroid not good enough for you? :'(
Anyways, all roms out right now have been made for the Verizon XT862.

Being someone who doesn't enjoy flashing ROMs, I find it hard to tell which ROM does what but I thought I heard that Steel Droid and Monster were the oldest ones which made me assume they are more consistently stable.

Right now they're all equally consistent and reliable. Mine just hasn't been out as long, so less people are running it, but hopefully that'll change soon.

Ever since I flashed SteelDroid 3.0, the market app won't let me make purchases. I tried flashing Market 3.2, 3.0.26, and 3.1.something, and I tried the Root Explorer replace Vending and uninstall update method and nothing seems to work.
Not sure if its the ROM or something else, but very frustrating.
I'm having the same market problem with Monster, I brought it up in the Roms thread, hopefully it will be fixed in the next update

i think you just need to wipe data/cache to get your market to work.
Yes wiping data and cache will fix the market purchases

Flashing with bootstrap Droid 3
I went in to the recovery mode of bootstrap and then went to safe mode to install zip from sd card and i got it to install. Although when I reboot in safe mode nothing starts and when i boot in regular mode it seems exactly the same? I was trying to get the monster rom on 1.2 need help am i missing a step>? I followed the instruction and i did not notice that i had done anything different.........
No issues with darkdroid or steeldroid 3 from what i've found with my own slight notification mods for both, not had any market buying issues with either, flush the cash of the app or reinstall the market, failing that reinstall your roms from scratch.

what custom ROMS are compatible with 902?
Eclipse 2.1 official release should be compatible, according to nitroglycerine33. Tonight I'm going to see if Kin3tix works.
I just install the eclipse 2.1 official on safestrap and its working good with 902 radio
I can confirm that Kin3tix 1.0 is working with 902 no problems at all. If you need help try my instructions.

Tuck, I read your guide. Excellent, and thank you! I wonder if you might be able to answer a question?
I'm currently on KIN3TX with .901 installed. (No Safestrap or anything.) I have not yet seen anything about patched files to use with .902 the way we did with .901. So, to get .902, I'm assuming that I'd have to hit the pathsaver route and go all the way back.
My question is, after updating to .902 and then installing KIN3TX, what system are you on? I know it will be the .902 radio and associated kernel, but won't the KIN3TX installation replace the updated ROM with an earlier version?
Thanks.
DHacker29 has ICS4BIONIC rom with functioning LTE radio. You must be on 901 or 902.
Check is tweets for links @dhacker29. Sorry, I can't paste from my phone.

I have not used the safestrap system for custom ROMs so I would be interested in recommendations.
I believe their is a version of liberty that.also works with 902.

I was on Kinex before 902 came out. Before confirmation that it would work with 902, I went with Eclipse that had been confirmed to work with 902. Since then, my battery life has plummeted. Android OS is now the main battery drain, where on Kinex, that was towards the bottom of the list, standby being the main. I'm going back to kinex.

I tried dhacker's ICS4Bionic yesterday. Most people (if not all) who've tried it are not getting stable connections of 3G, 4G, or both. I don't quite remember what exactly dhacker said when he acknowledged that there are issues, but he said he'd assumed 4G would work and didn't really confirm it. Just an honest mistake but whatever, just wanted to clarify that for anyone here.
Other than that, everything else about that ROM is awesome.

I'm pretty sure that Kinex (which was based on 894) just reported the battery drain incorrectly. The new Eclipse which is based on 901 actually reports the battery drain correctly now.
Battery life is about the same, if not marginally better on Eclipse (after updating to OTA 902) than Kinex was (after being upgraded to OTA 893).
hows the battery life on icd4bionic ??

It was draining pretty fast for me, but that's to be expected from an alpha version.

I've been running the newest alpha of ICS for a couple of days now and have held a solid 4g connection the entire time. I know that results will vary, but I would recommend that anyone interested in flashing roms tries it out for themselves. Battery life has also been fine for me.
I think that a lot of the people complaining about data connection didn't read through the thread to realize that you have to *#*#4636#*#*, select gsm only, then cdma only, then gsm/cdma auto to establish data. You have to do that every time you reboot also. Other than this small hassle and not having a working camera ICS has been flawless for me.
All you needed to do was read the first post of the ROM thread... thats all you had to do...
It's been asked for before in other places but I figure I should ask here. If it's the wrong place please move this. I would like the Cellbroadcast Service to be able to be installed on a ROM.

I've Tried Nottactrix (I know I mispelled), MROM, CM 10.1, NOWBLAST, CM9, as well as almost all others. I've tried flashing the Cellbroadcast.apk and even dis-assembled the froyo rom that has it as an option but neither work. Point of interest, Kyler's Froyo Rom lacks the Cellbroadcastreceiver.apk so I don't know what I'd have to rip for it to work/

I use Nottach as my perma install. It's what I prefer, but I would like to have the Cellbroadcast option installed. I visit some areas where I need to know about tornados, shootings, hurricanes and the like. Plus it would be nice to have just in case.

ok, so with that said, you are looking for a CellBroadcastReciever.apk that is designed for GB (2.3-2.3.7), not for Froyo, ICS, JB, or KK (even if KK isn't available for our device just yet)

Yes one that works on the Atrix 4G because the Nexus ones are for a GB device if I am reading correctly. I've tried just flashing those (Stupid I know) and no result. I've tried swip-swapping some stuff around and Iv'e come to the conclusion I cannot do this myself with just the froyo rom, the apks and nottach to mess with.
Both of those versions (this one and this one) work on JB and above only (one is for 4.1, the other is for 4.2).
As you noticed yourself, Kyler's stock Froyo does not contain it, and I was unable to find a version that works on Froyo. Where did you find one for Froyo?

One of his links takes you to a thread with a few posts. The last post has a download link.
I get that we have a froyo version based off of his searching, and that we do have JB versions based off of experience with epinter's ROMs. I don't know about GB or ICS versions, but he's definitely looking for the GB version.

It was in Kyler's Froyo settings, The APK is not there but the item is in the settings and fully customizable.
Well I'm trying out CM 10.2 right now but having a flashable version could work well if I switch back.
I examined Kyler's Froyo. Sadly it seems this functionality has been hardcoded into Settings.apk and BlurPhone.apk.
Ahhh, it seemed like that when I tore it apart.
I just examined the latest AT&T firmware (2.3.6) and I found the same thing therein. That means the same functionality should exist in the latest official GB as well?
I can't test this myself, I'm running a custom ROM and I don't really want to reflash now, plus to my knowledge none of the networks here offer cell broadcast.
I know florida has it, Due to ya know, all the high emergency weather and dangerous child kidnappers
