Got it from Rahulrulez's thread.
To enable the lagfix, use the ext 4 app included in that rom. Everything is pretty much self explanatory from there onwards.

Strange Captivate issue

OK.. First of all I want you to know that I'm not a n00b and that 99% of the cases I know what I'm doing with my phone but this is a weird one
Problem no.1: The simcard keeps on "disconnecting", resulting in disconnection from the network. Since the first seconds I start the phone it does this. Sometimes it doesnt even accept my PIN as being incorrect, but in the notification bar the SIM+! icon disappears for a moment. This is after I screwed a ROM and returned to stock using the OCD JF6.
Problem no.2: It wont master clear! No matter what I do, it wont do it. I tried since the first second when ODIN detects the phone. I tried it when it fully loads the ROM, it just wont go.
Background: Before, I had installed Froyo JPA i9000 ROM with Reoriented kernel 2.1.2 (voodoo lagfix+color,bln). Everything was soooooo fast on that ROM (with around 100 apps installed) but I wanted to theme it. So I tried to deodex it using xUltimate. I followed the (logical) instructions found in a post here and it didnt want to boot anymore... well, it did but in a FCs symphony.
I did what I believed is right and I returned to stock but I forgot to pull out the SIM card... then these problems appeared.
Gimme a hint what could I do. I'm asking first here because a working PDA without a SIM is .. acceptable but a totally bricked one is worse so before I take any steps further I need your opinion.
Thanks a lot.
No one?

Problem 1: can probably be fixed by reflashing stock with the SIM card *not* in the slot (that's about my only guess, never seen that).
Problem 2: master clear must be done with the phone turned on *NOT* download mode. the phone must be fully booted with adb debugging enabled in settings.
xUlimate: it's a poorly written application and it's success ratio is probably about 50/50, another tool to look into is auto-deodexer. Also, both the framework AND the system apps need to be deodexed to have everything play nicely (gtg taught me this one)
id experiment. from what i gather you were able to flash jf6 but it was a bad flash. does it still have download mode? maybe try to flash again and then try to master clear? maybe try to flash another rom, then try to flash back to stock?
this doesn't sound like anything anyone has seen before so your best bet is to just try something.
Thanks a lot for the replies guys!
The master clear was tried from all phone statuses (booting; finished booting; after the phone operated for a while) except download and recovery (i know is not suppose to be done from there).
I did reflash to stock without the SIM, same issue.
I will try flashing again some other rom. I'll try more and ill post the result here

OK, so, it seems that for some reason, after stock restore there were still remaining of XEE CSC in the phone..
I loaded the JPA back and now is all fine.
I am having the same issue, unable to clear with CWM or odin, or within the OS in either the stock rom or axura 4 or 5...
Can you please elaborate on your solution?
CSC looks familar to me, thats an ODIN file right? If so, what part of the phone would that be (kernal, modem, OS)?
What do you mean by load JPA? Odin package or CWM? WHole rom or specific parts.
thanks...this has got me stumped
Well, my issue is that I cannot use 2.1 anymore (any 2.1, tried stock Captivate and JM8 from i9000), I don't understand what is wrong but my first bet is that the /efs partition got changed in some way when I loaded JPA i9000 ROM.
Froyo works fine, any ROM I load give me full functionality but on 2.1 the SIM gets disconnected all the time and after a while the phone reboots by itself. Just to make it clear, I never had the usual Captivate reboot issue, it started when this SIM problem appeared.
Note: my product codes are fine, in both nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak the product code is finishing in ATT and my IMEI is available in both 2.1 and 2.2 and is correct, so no IMEI corruption here.
Could someone give me a hint?? Would flashing to stock with phone EFS clear help?

[Q] process com.android.phone has stopped problem

Hello everyone !
I've rooted my SFR Legend, and since i've flashed the 3st rom, i've randomly this message "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" and i need to enter my PIN, at this time i've never wiped, and i decided to wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache, flash radio and flash rom and the problem disappeared. But since i installed another rom (now i redo these steps in the same order every flash , wipe, flash radio and flash rom) the problem came back. I think Froyo must solve this problem and i've wait, now froyo is here and i've already the problem. I've tried to format SD and flash, i've tried to unroot but CID incorrect. I've wiped a time with clockworld mod and another time with r4-legend-root.
I need help please i don't find any solution
Edit: SOLVED , Andromax cause the problem
no answers? i didn't found any solutions
since you have the phone rooted, why don't you just install whitesnakedk's Froyo modified Vodafone ROM? I got tired of waiting for HTC to release one so I went ahead and used his and i feel like I just took it in to the shop and got it souped up, I love it! Everything feels like it's working better. So give that a try and see if the phone app keeps failing.
I think is a problem due to the radio update (included in 2.03), i think many files enter in conflicts between residues (if any) of the original radio and the new version. But wipe doesn't fix this

[Q] Problems updating and phone going "crazy"

hello
Ok on my galaxy I9000 gt i have some problems when i plug in kies and want to update it says Name:GT-I9000
Curent version: PDA:JM1 / Phone:LM1 / CSC:KM1

bump, thx in advance for your help
Did you flash jm1 through odin or something? If you flash an unofficial firmware, that's what kies will tell you. If you want to be able to use kies to upgrade, you probably need to flash back to a stock firmware

[Q] hi noob here

Ok i have done some searching on this forum looking for my answer but not much luck. I have the captivate. i realy like the phone and its display. i had it rooted with atts stock rom for a while. but since att was draging there feet with the 2.2 update i have flashed a few new roms. all of wich when im in the car listening to tunes if i got a call the music would stop and i could hear the call through car speakers stoped working. I have tried diff roms and no luck to fix. so is this something to do with the 2.2 update. I was reading another post and if i read right it looks as if it is. I am currently running pheonix 4.5 wich has been my fav rom so far. So to get my calls to go through car speakers again what do i need to do? I know there is apps and so forth to make the phone go to speaker, but 9 times out of 10 i cant hear speaker phone in car.
Also i have the exchange pin. whats a good way to nuke that?
There are kernels or view that allow balks through head set. This should fix your problem. What rom are you on, what kernel
im using pheonix 4.5 kernal 2.6.32.9
Phoenix does not show actual kernel but you are on an old version of hard hardcores kernel
If you want a fix follow these steps
Dl this
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B-3n...WIxYTQtMTdhYzgzMjdjODg4&export=download&hl=en
put on internal sd
Dl sgs kernel flasher from market
Open app
Choose kernel
Tap .....
Find the kernel you downloaded
Select
Flash kernel
Phone will reboot
The kernel info will read the same. Try to make a call now, should work
What modem are you using
ok noob ? #2 how do i know what modem im using?
Baseband in about phone

Just flashed his new GR9 and i'm curious to know, when locking the phone (tapping power button once) is the screen supposed to have a white flash-like shut off? sort of like powering of an oldschool TV. Not that big of a deal, but can get annoying.
Any good reason why the stock sms will not send txt? downloaded handcent sms and it will send just fine. but not both receive incoming, is there a way to fix this or to disable the stock sms?

That is a gingerbread thing. If you dont like it turn off animations in the display setting or use spare parts and set them to fast, that will disable that animation but increase the speed of the others.

Thanks!

First call after re-boot
On the first call attempted after re-boot, the screen went black on connection, and stayed that way for at least a minute. All subsequent calls were fine. Anyone else experiencing this?

Did you unzip the 7Z file? You'll see them then. It includes Odin 1.7 too.
Quick Question Regarding 3 Button Fix
Hey all. Getting ready to flash this Awesome new ROM from Serendipity 6.4. My question is do I need the 3 Button Fix working before I flash this? My phone lost that ability and was wondering if I should:
1)Return to stock using ODIN w/3 button fix
2)Reflash over that with ODINoneclick (saw that this might be required for GB roms)
3)Then Follow Mikey's instructions
Any input or advice is greatly appreciated!
If you use one click after the 3 button fix you'll probably lose the combo ... Just use the 3 button combo fix. You'll be on stock from there you can proceed to gingerbread.
DO NOT use that to get to stock from gingerbread!! Use one click for that.
gr 10 running now

got it running. thanks alot!! for some reason i hadnt been able to extract the files so i redownloaded the installation from a different site and then i was able to extract them. weird
Glad to assist. Trying to pay it forward for all the help I've received here.
Video tetorial?
Can someone please post a vedio link regarding installation for this rom.

Now that source is out from the SGS II, can anybody add the code that wakes up the phone when a message is received and implement that in with the AOSP Mms.apk so users that like the look/feel of the AOSP mms app can also enjoy the nice feature of their phone auto waking up when a new message is recieved?
Ill upload the two mms.apk here and rename them to easily distinguish the two apart.

I sloved my own problem, I just decompiled the mms.apk and inserted all the AOSP icons and changed out the ugly yellow bubbles for some better looking gray ones.
I'll upload once I get home for anybody who was wanting to use it.
I am wondering if anyone is having a reboot issue. My phone after installing this ROM reboots after sitting idle for any length of time... battery is at 93% (battery life is fantastic with this ROM). This is on GR 11, all flashed according to unstructions and working properly. I thought this may have been due to flashing Talon and converting to EXT4. However I re-did the installation from stock, and am still having the issue.
Anyone else having the same issue?
