I wonder how hard it would be to port the AOKP to the captivate. I got a chance to play with it on the facinate and it was very nice with a ton of customization.
I see it is already on the i9000. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I read somewhere that any i9000 rom could be used on the crappy you just had to replace the kernel. I could be wrong anybody?

Isn't one already out there? I didn't replace the kernel until recently, I would suggest not to change the kernel. Had better battery life until i recently changed the kernel.

AOKP Rom
I've been running that ROM for a few days and I love it. It still seems so great to be able to run Ice Cream Sandwich on my Capitivate!

There is an official vibrant build here:

Hey everyone, first off I understand that flashing a rom built for another device is asking for trouble or a soft-brick, in where odin would come into play however being that these I9000 roms which have been ported to the Captivate have already been modified, how difficult would it be to port a ported rom to the Vibrant. Is this even unheard of? Insight would be very much appreciated... Thanks!

In theory it should not be hard. You would need a re-oriented kernel for the vibrant though. As well as a modem that works with the vibrant. Basically I can take just about any i9000 rom unpack the zip, replace the kernel and modem, repack, flash. The re-oriented kernel fixes issues with the buttons not matching. If rhett are none for the vibrant then I would say no. there are no i9000 ports on vibrant? If there are you can likely steal the kernel from that rom zip drop it into the rom of your choosing.

Well the only recently ported rom out there soft reboots sporadically for an undetermined reason... I scour these Captivate fourms (the wife has a Captivate) and can't help but realize the development here has seen some huge strides in way of porting roms...
I am planning on trying something soon then to see if I can make progress... Just wanted to see if I could pick some brains...
Thanks again!

If you flash an i9000 ROM/Kernel untouched on the Captivate it will boot/work just fine, but the screen is rotated 90 degrees, the home/back button are incorrect, and bluetooth/sound are messed up.
I imagine it would be similar on a Vibrant.
Yeah I am wondering now how I could obtain a reoriented kernel for the Vibrant.. Kernel development for the Vibrant seems to be slow at this point....

You mean you wait until you get a soft brick before resorting to using Odin? Blasphemy!
Lol, you know what I mean!

It looks like the buttons are the same. Maybe the Captivate kernel would work. I'd give it a shot, but you never know what would happen.
Odin is such a nice luxury.

eugene373 already did this with xcaliburinhand's help https://github.com/barakinflorida/Vibrant-open
i9000 and captivate have 90 degree rotation issue, keymapping differences, and bluetooth issues
i9000 and vibrant have same orientation, but GPS and keymapping differences.
9 times out of 10, "porting" an i9000 ROM to another SGS device would just require replacing the zImage with a "reoriented" one as long as they have the same functionality.
Yep, I am working up the courage to try something...
Thanks for the input!

Hi there,
What is the best rom I can use that will make my captivate phone look like a galaxy s2 ?
Is there some kind of port rom or custom rom?
Thanks.

There are all sorts of custom ROMs and many of them are themed at least a little. I would poke around the forums, both in the stickies above in this forum and in the developers's one, look at screen shots (usually in the first post of the thread), and find one that suits your fancy.
Any particular suggestions?
If you want to run an sgs2 rom itself, there's an sgs2 port for the i9000. It's called hawkish. To run it, all you need is to flash a reoriented kernel (talon, dark core, xcal, etc.) and edit the key layout. I made a thread a while back if you're interested.
Hawkish already has its own captivate thread, but it hasn't been updated in forever...

Stay away from ICS as there are no stable versions available at the moment.
Depends on what you mean by stable.
It is pretty stable now, but not full featured yet.

Camera is fixed. If you don't know how to push changes, you should wait for a few more days to get new build that has fixes.

Miui 4 ICS for galaxy tab looks HOTTTT, and however I can't get nether my sim card to work nor wifi. Can anyone be a Saint and guide this newbie on the right path..???
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
which MIUI?
[ROM][GSM][ALPHA]MIUI ICS 2.1.6 Based on CM9 ??
If this is the one, well, it is an alpha ROM. So don't expect too much.
And hasn't been updated since Jan 2012.
The dev said don't use it as a daily rom.
That truly burst my bubble, cause once I downloaded it I feel in love with the way the entire interface looked and felt. All I can say is the development had something cooking there, I wish he would have maxed it out. It could have been really one of the best kernels out.. Just my option. Thanks for the feedback, I truly appreciate all of you that help us non knowing newbies out.. And I say that from the heart. Is there anything that comes close to it out..?? I'm using CM9'S build #31, it's good but the fonts are small and I miss the notification page that sides down. Can you please be kind enuff (not saying you haven't thus far) to put me one to the HOTTEST build out, we'll which ever you think is the best out for daily use for my GT-P1000. Thanks again, and muck blessings to you and yours.

This is the best ICS ROM for this device as fas as I'm concerned. Works really well. A couple of minor bugs but overall it flies.

I'm really not sure what you mean. The link I posted takes you the ICS ROM for P1000 device.
May be I'm misunderstanding your question.
Hi luchiano,
If you are on cm9, there isn't a build 31.
That is ICS AOKP that has that build number.
You won't have slides down transparent notification like in gingerbread, sorry can't help there.
But font size can be increased easily in settings- display-font size.

I've been using this captivate that a buddy let me have for a few months now, and I have enjoyed playing around with it. My friend needs a new phone so I am giving him this Captivate and returning to the desire HD that I have. I'm looking for a ROM that is fast and stable but I don't necessarily want to give him a stock odin rom. I am familiar with rooting, recovery and flashing custom ROMs. I've got a few questions and preferences:
I'm looking for something that will boost performance and remove bloat.
I need it to be incredibly stable as I will be flashing it and then it will be out of hands.
I would prefer ICS if possible, but a good stable gingerbread ROM would be fine too.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks man, I'll check them out!
Just a couple quick things to ponder while you are looking into the ROMs. If they need something stable imo gb is gonna be the way to go. ICS you have to worry about the encryption unsuccessful issue that is known to hit the cappy. (you can find the thread about this in the dev section). While there are some really great jb ROMs out there (The Collective included lol) sometimes can still have a few bugs.
BTW @ 4-2ndtwin you missed a ROM lol.
And thanks for your help on that sgs3 thing.

Well, I recently got a SGH-i987 Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch and was wondering if it was the same as the one discussed in this section.
AT&T
GT-P1000
2.2 Firmware Build Number FROYO.XXJK5
Baseband I9000UGJK3
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
I believe I did the mod to get the phone app on it to let it call as well if that matters.
Anyway, was wondering how I'd get a custom firmware on it...if at all. Don't really care if it loses 3G stuff. As long as it has Wifi at least.
Using the Overcome Guide, I've gotten to the Overcome ROM on Gingerbread. Is there any way I can get to ICS or JB now though?
Yes. Yours is P1000. Too many threads in dev section to follow. Just go for alroger's cm10.1 if you want, or AOKP soon ( I am on test release of stimpz0r's AOKP JB, can't tell you how good it is). But rest asssure it will be great.

I've gotten to Miui v4 on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613842 now from Overcome. So I guess my last question really is whether I need to go back to Overcome v4 Gingerbread like my second post THEN JB...and again for any other ROM, or if there is anything else special I need to know.
Hmm. It is an MTD ROM. This MIUI Rom was made around the time the newer MTD layout was introduced.
Can't remember if it uses the older or current layout. Ask Ronak or just restock.
