[Q] boot manager - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all please tell if anybody here is able to succesfully run boot manager in their captivate and if yes then how.

I'm not familiar with boot manager - are you referring to ClockworkMod's Rom manager?
If so, I hate to disappoint you, but it's not very useful on the Captivate (or any other Galaxy S phone, from what I hear).

boot manager is not like rom manager, boot manager can install upto 4 custom roms on the sdcard and then you can switch roms with just a single reboot

Multiboot isn't possible....yet at least.

If you would have read the description the you would know IT ISN'T POSSIBLE. Only a hand full of HTC and Moto devices. Samsung handles boots differently. I doubt we will ever get multi boot, and if we do it will require UBM.

so i can't reallay tell what killed my phone. but i think you are right.
i f... up the phone with rom manager.
What version of CWM?
I flashed my mini with odin and it's sucess, i think the problem is ROM manager..
After you flash with odin,do you tried to go to recovery mode to see the CWM recovery?
-sorry for my bad english..-
take out your battery press button combo for download mode
while keeping the button pressed insert the battery you should be in download mode
Never ever use ROM manager
Again a new dead phone thanks to rom manager.
It is time for a sticky not to use rom manager with galaxy mini.

so true^^
hi missery please correct the title and insert from manager in it
and if nothing is working please take it to Samsung service
You must had read forums before doing these experiments. If jig method is not working then you are in big trouble. I think you have to replace your motherboard.

I read a lot here in this forum^^ And everything i've done with my S2 worked great. Never head problems.
How great is my chance to get this repair under guarantee?
At least this phone isn't that expensive.
and btw thanks for all your support
I think there's a high chance you can replace it ~ since Rom Manage usually hard brick our mini which make them hard to check it, maybe they would replace the motherboard of the device ~
They will change the motherboard
Since
Even they cant make the phone go in even the dwnld mode
Let alone recovery n on
They cant find out
What
Happened
I've been through this
Dont thank me
I didn't do anything

Why did you used rom manager when galaxy mini is not listed there in first place?

I totally agree, I once tried to use Rom Manager too, fortunately I didn't cause the Mini wasn't listed, and then did a little more research and found it out.
Maybe it's possible to contact the developer to remove Mini from compatible list in Google Play?

Hi it does'nt work here. Can you print screen to show us?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
this time i can confirm its working but installer might fail still we got no /sbin/mount command, so when you are in CWM, goto mounts and mount the /system manually, and the installation should work.
this was on v10f i tested it.
Please Sir. Show me how to. Ive tried as you say, mount /system on cwm Mode. And it does'nt worked. Can you help me?

actually the launcher is ok, but very simple and Go Launcher is my preference, i like all the animations
but touchwiz in this one is fine, too bad we do not have the full framework ported, so we could use the multiwindow support which is on samsung Note as well

do you actually own the o4x, i am starting to believe you try to do something you are in no control of?
you attached my recovery apk(which in the same forum, would be easier if you just link to my thread? please do so, no good to post old releases) and says you start it with volume button and power button? i think you need to buy the LG o4x and figure out how it really works? but to be short, this is NOT true, the recovery installer has nothing to do with the recovery you enter during startup, you are sadly wrong again. (it is a locked partition and not changed)

That's a generalization and not of a very good kind. He is one of those sick maniacs but should have nothing to do with his ethnicity. You ll find such guys by lots in this forum. Either ignore or report to the moderator.
i dont wanna be the bad guy here but i did ALMOST try his beats mod.
jus' sayin.
here our 4x hd forum nobody can make the modes or apps....in other forum i see other experts makes roms and modes....here we only shouting about locked bootloader....locked bootloader....am boaring here .then i decided...copied some other forums modes like htc x...am try to install on my phone...sometimes am bricked my phone.....but try to install modes....result is righit or wrong.....but am trying.....am not expert...not a moderer.....am not claim that this mode is mine or cwm is mine....but am want to learn about android system.....sorry for that....am never wright a post....sorry
learn to spell, learn to test, and the reason ure failing along with this device is coz we dont have an unlocked bootloader..

if you make sure your findings work, i am sure users can benefit from it. BUT! if you do not test properly or make changes during your test and do not report this with your link and people's mobile is semi-bricked and need to spend 30-60minutes or even more to fix, it is no good.
so do not stop, but make sure you really know it is good before you post.
its not only the kernel and custom bootloader making it impossible , its also what LG previously shown users, so they care less about new LG mobiles now, so you probably will not see many modders or devs in this section, and personally i am also 99% going for an alternate model, primarily because my issues seems unsolved by another custom system as oneX, as the lag seems to be in the kernel alone

[Q] overclocking and interface editing exhibit T599n?[supernoob]

Hello, I am brand new to rooting. This is the first phone I have rooted. I am trying to improve its performance and and possibly change the boot animation and stuff. I used rom toolbox but it wouldn't change my boot. And all overclocking apps cqn only underclock it. Does anyone know if it cqn be overclocked? And how to change the boot animation? I already improved space using gl to sd, but I haven't found any forums on overclocking qnd and boot animation. Please help this noob. And thank you
You can use Boot Box (look it up on Google Play) to change your boot animation. To overclock your CPU, you're going to need a supported kernel, which isn't available at the moment. Overclocking won't be possible on your device unless someone releases a kernel which supports it.
By the way, you have posted this thread in the wrong forum section.

Yes, the device is rooted, I have supersu enabled. And my device is currently stock rom. However I can't seem to change much. I tried to change the notification background using rom toolbox and that also didn't work. It seems as though my Device uses qmg files

If you are rooted, then install xposed framework & modules. It's the best way to customize. Use the search bar to find them.

Of course not. If it says 4.2, it's for 4.2 (always read the OP carefully) & so on. If you know what you're doing, you won't brick your phone, for sure

Dual Boot!!!

So A While Back I Made A Youtube Video ON DualBooting Any Samsung Vibrent Phone. The Process Worked on all Devices i Tried It My Self
((( I Did Not Make This Process)))
So Like Most i Had To Get My Hands On The S5 For Really No Reason.
As Soon As I Picked It Up Out Of The Box It Went Straight To Rooting
There Arent To Many Good AOSP Roms Out There For The S5 Just Yet But There Are Some Great TouchWiz ...
My Favorite Being
Echoe Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719593
Echoe Rom Was One Of the Roms I Used For My Dual Boot On The S4 So I Decided I Was Going To Give The Exact Same Process A Chance On My S5 .....
And It WORKED!!
I Uninstalled It For Now Due To My Dissatisfaction With All AOSP Roms For Now But As Soon As I Find One I Like Im Defenatly Doin This.
Here Is a Link To My Video I Made On YouTube.
There Is a Link To The Original Thread There And All Of The Nessicary Files In The Discription
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPGd4TPSB5w
none of this is my work just found out that it works
the original thread is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
yeah its for the s4 and the app will say s4 but it worked for me and im an on the tmobile s5
If this is really working, then well done!
I just came from the S4 and used the same process for dual booting. I will try it out now and post my results. I'm assuming you used chenxiaolong's Dual Boot Patcher to patch the AOSP rom?
How did you patch your secondary ROM?
I'm going to have to try this!
Any update on this did it work? I want to dual boot pac-rom!
How come you can figure out dual booting but cant comprehend capital letters
OP use chenxiaolong's Dual Boot Patcher from this S4 thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
He didn't mentioned about it. Also Youtube tutorial is for Galaxy S4 and links to download doesn't work. I wouldn't risk trying to do that on S5 it sounds like a BS to me.
Download Links Down
Can you update your download links. The first and last one say file not found.

you can use this sorry about that
Update
the dev changed a few things recently like the patcher and swticher app are now in one
the only app you need is the patcher
the download links have been changed on my site
the Patcher app will not make the dualboot file if it is on your sd card you would have to transfer to the device first
few aosp roms work with the app but you can still do it manually
Workin on it
im also working on making a video showing that this works but im procrastinating lol sorry

Hey guys, I'm the author of the Galaxy S4 DualBootPatcher app.
I just want to point out that this is currently working purely by chance. ROMs with updater-scripts that refer to the named partitions (eg. "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot") are safe to try, but any ROM that uses the partition numbers directly (eg. "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p16") have a chance of bricking the phone irrecoverably because the partition table does not match the Galaxy S4's.
In the next version of the patcher, I will be adding support for the S5 and the Note 3. Until then, I do not recommend dual booting

Dual Boot Patcher and app sharing

I have my dual boot setup running well. Primary is Official Samsung Rom and secondary is Cyangenmod 12.1. Both are rooted. Samsung Rom contain a few apps that I like to have on the CM side and I don't want to reinstall the same apps 2x. I went into my primary, selected 'share individual apps' (both apk and data), choose 2 apps. Rebooted but I don't see the 2 apps in the CM side. Don't know what I'm doing wrong
No one has done app sharing? Help a noob out will ya.
