Unless I'm mistaken, there now is only one Dev out there that has stuck by Captivate code. As someone who places a high value on the Audience voice chip on the AT&T devices, I am very interested to see if more devs will look at this newly released source and make something of it, either new or port their existing top-notch work. I've tried, and liked, many of the I9000-based ROMs, but I keep coming back to the Cappy-based ones due to the voice quality.
So Devs... any interest? I'm sure that I'm not alone from a user perspective.
I would like to see a kernal based off the released source that also has the voodoo sound added to it. I am sure there is a lot that can be done and it will take some time.
I was thinking of flashing to something new, but with the source available, I think it's time to be patient. Can't wait for a semi-up to date ROM with full captivate compatibility!
this belongs in Q&A section
I believe whole heartedly that the ROMS the DEVs are putting out are fantastic and do everything I want and need in a ROM.
OTHER then the audiance chip support. It would be cool to have in the roms as an ability but not necessarily required.
See sig below - this post doesnt belong here. *facepalm* The devs will do what they do, when they decide they wanna do it - noobs coming in here constantly asking for sh*t only irritates them and pushes them away from bringing us the good stuff....

I thought about that, but I put it here for two reasons:
The developers come here regularly, and not necessarily the Q&A section
This is a question directed directly at the devs, not necessarily the user community
Make sense?
Devs still read the Q&A - how about reading the forum rules and abiding.... this is un-needed clutter in the Dev section

Regardless, if you feel the need to post about this topic in this section, there is already a thread about it. Post your question in there. No need for another thread.

Not trying to start a flamewar or anything... while I only joined last November, and my post count is indeed low, please don't assume that I'm here asking for candy. I comb these forums many times daily, and only post when I can't find the answers I'm looking for.
As for irritating the devs by asking for stuff... I've noticed that for the most part, they actually like the feedback, and want to know what the users like. I see no problem with providing input. Like I said, I posted here because the Devs come here, and not so much to the Q&A section.
Lastly (and maybe this should have been clearer in my OP), only one dev seems to be working on Captivate kernels, with the rest working on I9000 (since source has been around a long while). What with new hardware around the corner, dev interest for the Cappy might be waning. I thought it a fair question.

No..does not make sense. If you read the forum rules it will be clear why it doesn't make sense.
Not trying to start a flame war either was just trying to redirect you and prevent further endless flaming if you continued to post in the wrong section.
Last thing I wanted was to tick people off
But it seems that's exactly what happened.
Apologies to those that I irritated, especially the Developers to whom this thread was directed.
Out.

So just coz it says "Hey devs" means it should go to the Dev section?
I thought the development section was actually for development... Apparently I was wrong
uuugh..

Agree completely!! Dev(s) do read other forums
I have question about the source code that was just released. How do I implement it into my build enviroment?
I mean ok I extract the file. Then read the readme file. It says to overwrite the modules I want to build. Is there a general rule to what should and should not be over written. I have compiled the generic code but nothing device specific.
OMG! You DARE to post here?

LOL. No apologies needed. This thread that you started is essentially the same as opcow's, except that he posted the news before you did. All that followed in his thread, however, was very similar to the responses in your thread.
Similar, but different - different because the hall monitors didn't flame anyone in that thread! Why not?? Because, methinks, for the most part, those in the other thread were more "senior" than thee, Mr. Dalewest. Get it? There's a pecking order here that must not be violated.
Strange, but I didn't notice any ROM devs complaining in your thread or Opcow's. I did, however, see some silliniess in the other thread, such as "Charlie Sheen throwing some pixie dust" into the new ROMs, but no cries of outrage over that. Then come some self-appointed spokespersons for the devs in your thread saying the devs this, the devs that, "Ooh, the devs are going to get upset," etc. [Sigh]
The source of KB1 dropping has been mentioned since yesterday or before in various threads here, and I didn't see any devs getting upset about it. The KB1 source dropping is certainly related to development. IMO it's perfectly fine to post it in Development. Your are not asking a general question - you are asking what the devs have in mind vis a vis development, now that KB1 has dropped.
That said, given that there was already another thread, you shouldn't have started another one. Consider your wrist slapped, ha, ha.

no worries.
not ticked here. my original post was just to redirect you and try to help you avoid the flood of responses and/or flames that were sure to come.
Would someone care to reference the difference between all the roms? JVS etc every week that I come on here I have to search what the new rom letters mean. Maybe you can make a sticky making it easier for everyone?
This thread is not going to end well.
I don't really care, they sticky everything so why not what roms are for our phones and what ones are ported. Also what order the came out in. Im done with the captivate this weekend anyway, its only a suggestion.
First, id say what your looking for is already clearly available. 2nd, id say this should be in the development section.

Look here, thanks and credit to sammobile.com----
http://www.sammobile.com/threads/36-Samsung-Letter-Code. This is good with i897, but I'm still not sure about the i9000 rom lettering system, i.e JVT = ??
You may have to register and login to see this, not sure though. Hope it helps anyway.

I'll get straight to the point....
Despite stickys and forum announcements most of us are still finding ourselves becoming terribly, terribly vexed at the amount of [Q]'s cluttering the dev section...
Therefore, from now on, if you do not follow the rules outlined below, you will be infracted. Break them again and you may find yourself unable to post anything at all on any forum!!
If you cannot read and abide by the simple rules in this sticky then I dont know how you're going to manage to hack your device without running into trouble.
The Dev section is NOT for asking questions.....
The Dev section is NOT for general topics..........
All threads posted MUST be prefixed with a description of the thread, [ROM] / [Kernel] etc etc.....*
*(Not planning on being particuarly strict on this. You guys (the devs), know how to title a thread.... just a pointer for new devs.)
Basically, unless your thread is to actually release something or discuss something of a very technical and n00b unfriendly nature, it doesnt belong here!
Pretty simple really.....
If you see something that shouldnt be here then PM me....
I will try to check in as reguarly as I can but I have a few sections to keep an eye on and believe it or not, a life outside XDA
Yes thats right, there is life outside XDA

Agree 100 %
And I answered his question the way I could to try to help a little.
And I knew this thread would eventually get moved.
PM'd conantroutman to request the move just in case no one else has.

Well that.. some one know if MMC_CAP_ERASE is removed in that ROM??
Thanks for the help.
Why not ask in this ROM thread? I guess you'll have much better chance if finding someone using it there. And the forum would be less cluttered.

Err... because he is NOOB, just like me, and we NOOBs are not allowed to post things in the development area until we have ten posts?

don't intend to - esp. that I forgot about the limit - it's just that the forum is not easy to read, because of a large number of threads (partly or mostly unncessary threads), and with each new thread it gets more difficult to search so ppl create new ones, which makes searching even worse and so on and so on,
still, 10 posts limit afair is not tough to break - and I'm absolutely not sugggesting spamming other innocent threads with pointless posts - let's just say that the limit probably serves as a precaution for new users as well - by the time newbies have posted 10 messages, they will probably be accustomed with terminolgy and safety precautions,
now - as to the ROM in question - I don't use it, so cannot tell, but, search the ROM's thread for emmc_cap, maybe you'll find the answer

That rom little bit complicated to install. Try modded lite alba by elishadow. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722038
If it has a safe kernel then it is a safe custom rom and its depends also if you follow correctly the operating procedure, if not, then it is not safe.
hello everybody, i have a 4x that I just rooted, thinking of installing a custom rom for better performance and battery life, but I have a few doubts.
1: can I restore it to the original rom latr and how do I backup everything?
2: I´m having an issue with lack of ram message, will a custom rom help.....
YES,NO,NO
kinda funny questions, O4X got no working daily custom roms yet. do some reading, is your next task
ok

If you had bothered to follow that first rule of XDA then it would have taken you less than 5 minutes to realise how stupid and pointless the questions were. If you don't like the answer I gave, then next time SEARCH and READ before deciding to post a question.

I dont think people mean to be rude, but when people come on most days and ask the same questions without looking first, it annoys some people!

if that option existed, the developer section would not be missing all the links to custom roms
you can add some hacks and play around with some workarounds, but only a semi alpha rom exists which is for development only. and hoping others could find interest in how i made to create new roms with locked bootloader if possible.
Hi, sorry if the answers are in the thread but I just read the first post of each thread...
1 - how to turn off the soft key's light when the screen is on ?
2 - where is the ThinkingBridge Launcher ?
Thanks ^^

Don't expect to get an answer then.
You kidding ? The first post has to be explicit about the features, you say ThinkingBridge Launcher and there is nothing in the rom. I don't care if the Nexus 5's version got the launcher, moreover the bootanimation in the video is missing too.
And about the softkeys, i'm not gonna read all the thread without knowing if the answer is inside, there is a Q&A section so I use it and dont talk to me like a **** because you're a developper. I appreciate your work but your work is to answer questions too.

Everything that's in the first post is present in the rom. I can do nothing if you remove the built-in launcher when installing GApps containing GEL.
And about the softkeys, there is a second post written by me about all the bugs and fixes known. Not that hard to read a few lines and you wouldn't have a question.
@Emin3ms, did you know that you are violating the Forum Rules?

Especially if the question you have asked is already answered in the OP (yes, even though it's the 2nd post, it's still the OP)
Furthermore, you don't have to pay for anything, everything on XDA is done for free, which means you have no right whatsoever to demand anything. Every dev can write whatever he wants (as long as it's within the rules) in his OP, but as far as I can see, @Adam77Root included everything necessary, even workarounds.
