Well, I try to help out as much as I can with everyone... Now it's my turn for some help
I've just flashed FF 2.5 and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!
But I themed it with Generation X and the blue dialer. Now I've come to the conclusion that I liked it better without the theme.
Is there any way to remove the theme/dialer without having to re-flash the ROM?

You need to flash a revert.zip that has the "stock" components from the rom file. I made one for firefly (not phoenix) to "remove" the Dark Fire 4.0.1 port I made for Dfuse's original theme. Its uploading now, and I'll post the d/l link for you when it finishes.
Here you go: FIREFLY 2.0+ only!
Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16724383/Firefly_Stock_Revert.zip
Flash this through clockworkmod just like any other theme. It will take you back to stock firefly 2.0.5.
Thanks!
This is essentially just flashing the "Stock" theme back?
Just for future reference, this is only gonna be good for reverting back to FF 2.x?

Is there any way to return to stock theme on Serendipity 5.0? I love the rom but still want to stick with stock theme.

Are you talking about a TRUE stock look? Like "fresh out of the box, the first time you turned on the phone" stock? Or stock Serendipity with no themes applied?
The "theme" I posted above is not true Captivate touchwiz stock. Its stock Firefly rom, so it restores the framework to look like the first time you boot the phone AFTER flashing Firefly. Its only purpose is to remove any theme you may have applied over the Firefly rom.
If you have not flashed a theme over Serendipity, you have stock Serendipity.
If you have flashed a theme over Serendipity, and want to return to stock Serendipity, you need a revert theme that is specific to Serendipity. The one I posted above will not work.
If you want a true stock Captivate theme that works on Serendipity, that's a whole nother beast entirely.
I know this gets asked a lot, but I have a question that I think might be a little different.
Right now I have an AT&T Captivate Running FROYO.UCKB1
I was going to flash Cog4 today but I just realized that the MobleTechVid Gingerbread theme would not work with that ROM. Ever since I saw Josh's vid on his theme, I have wanted it!
I just ran across his Serendipity ROM review and it looks like it has most if not all of the Gingerbread theme built into it.
Basically, I have told myself to skip the Cog4 and just do the Serendipity ROM, but I guess I just wanted a 3rd party endorsement of that decision.
I do need my phone to be 100% usable and reliable as I use it for work, which is why I was leaning toward the COG4 ROM (stability). I can not give up usability/stability for pretty graphics.
On a side note, from what I have read here, it seems as if I need to use Odin to flash back to 2.1 before flashing a custom ROM (via ClockWorkMod). I am fine with that, but I was just wondering if, since UCKB1 came out, anyone has developed a way to flash a ROM with out having to go backwards first.
Thanks!
If you like kb1 cognition is the sane exact thing. If you want something different flash serendipity

I just flashed this rom on my captivate. So far it is working flawlessy.
I was also on 2.2 Froyo, and used Odin to go back to stock. It's seems like a useless step, but i did it. It only takes a few minutes and for safety sake it's better to do it right just in case.
Josh has awesome vids. I don't think i would have done it this quickly if i had to use some of the others that i've watched.

Cognition was my first ROM from stock. It worked well as advertised. And like yourself, I wanted stability over anything else. Its great for being close to stock, with running more smoothly, and had a few extra features. Then I decided to try Serendipity. Serendipity has much more added features and is much more customizable, while at the same time, still provides stability. In my experiences, I would put Serendipity in the middle between Cognition and other roms like Andromeda, which is even more themed than Serendipity. IMO, Serendipity is the happy medium between the stock experience and flashy themed roms. It seems like you already did your research on how to flash, so I would say give Serendipty a try. If its too much or not what you are looking for, go back to Cognition. But it seems like the developers of Cognition (designgears) are straying away from Captivate development, as they already discontinued their other rom, Perception.

actually, your concept of Andromeda is wrong. Andromeda is first and foremost a 'stock' experience and there is a version that is heavily themed....

When you say "this rom" do you mean Serendipity or Cognition?
From what I have read, you have to flash back to 2.1 if you are using ClockWorkMod to flash your new ROM because 2.1 and 2.2 use different recovery modes and ClockWork will not work with the recovery mode that 2.2 uses (I think it is 2e that 2.1 and ClockWork use and 3e that 2.2 uses).
2 more questions. What would hapen if I just put the ROM .zip on the root of phone, named it update.zip, rebooted into recovery, and "reinstalled packages"? Wouldn't this flash the ROM w/o using ClockWork and therefore not having to flash back to 2.1?
When I used Kies to go from 2.1 to 2.2 that seemed to be what it did and it kept all my aps, SMS, phone log, and all my other settings (home screens and widgets had to be reset). I do understand the "best" way is to return to out of box stock and then flash, but then there is a lot to re-setup...
Last thing. The only thing about the Gingerbread theme that I don't want is the orange color when you press an on screen button. I prefer the blue color that I have now with 2.2. Is there an "easy" way to change it from the orange back to blue in Serendipity?
Thanks for helping this newb!

first of all, NO you cannot just name a rom zip update.zip and flash from stock 3e recovery....3e recovery does not allow unsigned zip files to run on it...thats why you have to either flash back to 2.1 or root and use the unsigned 3e recovery mod
it doesnt matter if you return to stock 2.1 or not, when you flash a new rom, you will lose your setup....it wipes the phone except for your internal and external sd cards. root your phone and run titanium backup if you want to save all that stuff.
for your last question about the color. yes, its a png file inside /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi, however, i dont recommend you go mucking around with that......and honestly, it wont look right with the rest of the theme anyway
Ah, thanks for explaining why flashing from a zip in 3e will not work.
I am not sure what parts of the theme you don't think blue will go with...
From what I have seen, the indicators are green and the menus are black. I think that blue would go with that just as well as orange...

I endorse it. There. Problem solved.
I flash Serendipity everytime MikeyMike puts out an update to it. Granted I flash a new rom at least every two days. Serendipity is always in my rom rotation.
word of caution
If you are really not sure - don't do any custom ROM flashing, it's overhyped.
Stay on stock, enjoy stability.
Or enter the wonderful world of bricking/unbricking.
My first ROM was Cog 3.04, and I followed to 4.0, and 4.1.
Two days ago, I switched to Serendipity because I wanted a different experience besides something close to stock. It's not that Cog was bad...it's great.
What I'm discovering is that it's great to sample the ROMs until you find what fits you best, even if that means you're changing a lot.
I agree 100%...it's all up to the individual!
In my opinion Cognition is for those who want as close to stock as possible and don't want to stray too far into the flashing foray.
Where as Roms such as Serendipity use the latest software released for the i9000 to enhance the device to a better experience and deviate is much from the stock mess as possible.
That and the fact that Cog is 2.2 and Serendipity is 2.2.1
I used to be a big cognition fan until I tried serendipity. Cog is ok, but serendipity is more tailored to my wants and needs. So perhaps try both and see which one will suit you.

Any Rom is more stable than what was released by ATT and if you are bricking your phone then you should either read more or have some one more knowledgeable do it for you.

Pretty sure you haven't flashed before if you make a judgement like that. Stock is 1. Much slower, 2. Way less customizable, and 3. Boring.
Lastly, my honest perspective is that stability is the exact same as long as you don't go trekking around things you don't read about prior.
Install a good Rom, find a kernel that sounds the best for you-really just pick one that is popular-if you want. However most Roms come with a custom one so you need not mess with that unless you get interested. And if you want to play around even more, install a different modem. But, as before, that is not necessary.

I don't think it looks stock at all. Cog does. I think Serendipity looks (and functions) 100x better than the stock rom.

KB1
But you probably won't find anyone with a debloated zipaligned deoxeded version, it's still crap without all the fixes from the custom roms.
Cognition 4.x was close to stock Froyo, but it has since gone custom crazy. Andromeda 1.2 is based on a stock Captivate ROM for the Armani version and while it has some nice tweaks, it is still pretty close in appearance and function to stock, but without all the bloat.

It was a limited version of the Captivate designed for Georgio Armani. Electronically, it is the same as our Captivate in every way. Software-wise, it has a customized version of Froyo with some Armani touches like the bootscreen and system font. Andromeda simply removes the carrier bloat and adds performance enhancements like Voodoo lagfix, working GPS and some other nice touches. It runs flawlessly on my Captivate.
For lite and quick, I've always relied on Andromeda or Paragon RC6.
As for just a stock 2.2 without the bloatware, I've never actually seen any.

Why don't you just do it yourself?
Root
Use titanium backup to remove the aps you don't want
Follow the how-to and deodex
I am not sure about zip aligning, but I know you can so everything else pretty easily.

I think I an explaining this correctly, enabling sideloading allows you to install apps from sources other than the market. Ie: you can DL an apk right to your phone and install it.

Hello all,
I've purchased this tablet last Saturday. I have read a couple of threads on this forum and now I've got a couple of questions. Note that I am an absolute noob on rooting and roms.
1. What are the benefits of rooting the device?
2. If I would root the tablet, is it still possible to receive the software updates from Samsung? (i.e. when ICS is finally rolled out officially).
3. What ROM would you guys recommend? A version of ICS or the Overcome version?
4. Is it easy to get back to the Stock version?
I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance!
Trea
I have rooted my Tab for one reason and one reason only.... I wanted to use What'sapp on it and for that it needed to be rooted. If you are rooted you can remove system apps. I have always ran custom roms on my phones but have held off changing the rom of my Tab, but only cuz I don't wanna have to sort out all my apps etc out. You will still get updates from Samsung whilst being rooted.
1. What are the benefits of rooting the device?
To numerous to list, not the least of which is the list of apps I run that require root and the flexibility to make customizations otherwise not possible.
2. If I would root the tablet, is it still possible to receive the software updates from Samsung? (i.e. when ICS is finally rolled out officially).
Yes.
3. What ROM would you guys recommend? A version of ICS or the Overcome version?
Galaxian Soup or CM9, both of which are ICS.
4. Is it easy to get back to the Stock version?
Yes, if you also install Clockworkmod Recovery and do a nandroid backup. But chances are you won't want to. It becomes an entirely new device under ICS. (But backup your stock ROM anyway.)

Thanks for the info! I've rooted the device and installed Clockworkmod recovery. Now I plan on installing ICS tonight (battery was almost empty so I figured I should charge it first before putting on a different ROM)
What are the differences between the Galaxian Soup and CM9? Also is it recommended to install the google apps zip?
Thanks again!
Be aware that the camera does not work on the ICS roms, so if you are going to need the camera then it would be stock rom or Overcome.

i never use gapps. flash it if you use gmail or gtalk or maps or any other google stuff.
i also recommend you to install the latest aokp (b33, which doesn't have a galaxian soup version yet, but you can find the link in the gs thread).
i have cm9 now but it has wifi and Bluetooth issues for me (and some other users). i'm just waiting for galaxian soup to release a 3g version. but you have gt7310 so you're good to go.

Galaxian Soup has two versions for both 7300 & 7310, both updated regularly. The AOSP version is as close to Google's implementation of ICS possible. The AOKP version offers a lot more control of the ROM and has some nice additional features. Safariking has posted his own version of AOKP (7310 only) and I've never used it because I have a 7300.
CM9 is Cyanogenmod's implementation of ICS. It's a lot like stock ICS but has different standard apps with a slightly different feel and a few different controls.
I've tried all three and prefer AOSP over AOKP (probably in the minority here), though I might switch to CM9 for a while just to stay familiar with it.
Yes, you probably will need Google apps and there really isn't a great reason not to have them onboard.
Thanks for the info!
I've just installed the AOSP version with the google apps and it works great! The tab is a lot faster like this!
The only "problem" I have is that the screen goes on and off when I go from landscape to portrait, is that normal?

AFAIK, this has been an issue for Galaxian Soup AOSP since alpha. After months of bouncing between AOSP ICS, and stock, I've finally had enough of touchwiz to last a lifetime. I will be rocking AOSP ICS for a while... I can wait for the Sammy ICS update to resolve all the minor bugs for the ICS roms. When I ran the Alpha ICS rom, I was shocked at the stability and performance of an alpha, and its only gotten better since. Hats off to the Galaxian Soup devs
So I've pushed the ICS leak onto my Bionic (Build number 6.7.2-223) and after having it on there for a while, i'm looking to restore the phone since it's been slowed down really bad now. My question is, what would be the best thing to do? Should i go to Factory data reset and reset it that way? I'm aware that there's a build number that works that's ahead of mine (-232?). Should I upgrade to that? If so, should I just follow these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771993 steps? Anyway, thanks for the help!
Edit: I do want to keep ICS on there. I'm not looking to restore it completely back to Stock.

I'm not sure but are you aware that ICS .246 is the current software for the bionic (not a leak but an official build)? My suggestion would be to RSDlite the thing to the stock firmeware of .246. Then install SS 3.11 and make a partition and install a nice rom. As for rooting the motofail root works just fine on the ICS stock build.

SS = Safe Strap version 3.11
As for Roms so far the fastest Jelly Bean Rom is Icarus, but it doesn't have all the frills of the newer Cyanogen mods. As for ICS Roms I like Blurry Maxx or Eclipse. Google search should find them. Also there are roms in the Bionic Development section of xda here you can browse and see what some of the features are. Good luck.

Personally I would go with Eclipse, they recently released v 1.3 that runs great (way better than stock). I tried BurryMaxx but its pretty overclocked so the battery drain is quite a bit more than eclipse. Honestly I don't think you really need the OC as long as you make sure to use task killer frequently enough. I tried AOKP and CM10 for the JB roms but neither of them were ready to be daily drivers, I had issues with phones not ringing/vibrating, screen of death, etc. (and of course the standard camera issues).
