Are you rooted?
If the answer is yes it Is easy. If no move on

Post your specs. so we know what you are working with. Things like Rom, Kernel etc. This makes a huge difference bc if you flash the wrong one, you will have a $200 paper weight and will need instructions on how to fix that too!! Go ahead and install Rom manager if you haven't already too; You will need that. The free version is fine but the paid version supports the dev which you should do.

My instinct is to say do not do it. I am not certain. Post your question and current rom on the thread for the theme the op is usually responsive

try downloading spirit radio it is an apk file. check if it will work.
Sprint radio is very inconsistent, buggy and frequently refuses to work. But, when it works, it does work fine. If running it does not work, then, only reboot gives any chance of it working.
Sometimes, bluetooth, gets switched on when I run sprint.
Uhm.. Does anyone have an FM RADIO apk file?

Hi I was just wondering if you guys knew some cool stuff to do with a rooted phone. Is it possible to theme a stock ROM? Also what's the deal with overclocking and I/O scheduling? Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-I896 using XDA App
Yes you can theme a stock rom. And overclocking can only happen with a kernel that is ready to support it.
Keep reading, just make sure you build numbers match

So after I root my wifes captivate with super one click, I can install current nightly with google add on through Rom manager? She had an HTC aria running current nightly and I had to do it always through CWM. Which is not a problem. its because ROM manager didn't work with HTC arias. A little buggy here and there.But I heard its allot easier through ROM manager. But is it safe? Thxs guys.

rom manager is terrible on the galaxy s phones
Thanks. good to know. I'll be doing it from CWM then.
i am not knocking koush and all those involved with ROM manager. i bought the premium version for my other phones, and i love it, but i have to blame samsung and their method of recovery. rom manager just doesnt play well with galaxy s phones. it 'sort of' works once you have CM7 installed. again, its not rom managers fault, its the crappy recovery we have to deal with.
What would be the easiest way to theme a stock ROM? Things like notification pulldown, status bar, battery icons, lockscreen, etc.

find and read the million already written tutorials.read the new user guide.
read read read.
oh and to your original question....
why in hell would you root if you dont know what to do with root?
that kind of methodology will end up giving you a 400$ paperweight.
READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY MODERATOR will tell you XDA is NOT a place to spoon feed babies.it is a community development forum FOR DEVELOPING. it is NOT a "help me do this" fourm.
xda is not a place to "make your phone cool" it is a place of learning and developing.
I rooted for several reasons. I just asked to see what other people were doing with their phones. Anyways, alright next time I'll just go post somewhere else where they hopefully don't mind "spoon feeding babies."

Personally, i stay away from ROM Manager, because CWM works better for me anyways, and i can guarantee that i know EXACTLY whats going on while its flashing...plus ROM Manager, like stated before, SUCKS on Galaxy S devices..
I just ODINed back to I897UCJF6 2.1update1 eclair on my captivate and I want to flash some custome roms again. I have flashed multiple roms for example (Firefly,Cognition) but now I cant seem to find the Rom Manger Free app in the market?
I have tried the following:
Market Enablers
Appbrain Market
Sideloading apk (this works but cant connect to clockwork server error)
The only thing i am able to download is the premium rom manager which is just a license.
Any help?
Im running out of ideas here thanks!
Don't waste your time with Rom Manager. Flash a kernel with cwm or load the update.zip with cwm and go from there. Not sure where the update.zip is anywhere but should be somewhere.
Rom manager is completely unnecessary for the captivate
this is the file you need
How do you get Clockworkmod recovery installed with out Rom Manager? I can't see it i the market either.
Wow just wow..... Sticky guide I usually say use the search button, but geezuz christ it would be a good idea to read the stickies on dev, Q&A and General.....

Thanks for the guide. Using Rom Manager is the easy way to get CWM installed, but if you totally mess up your cappy like I did, that guide helped me out a lot.
Flashing ODIN 1 click stock, and then following the guide. I had to use Heimdal to get it on but now that I have all the necessary files i can break and rebuild a cappy in 10 minutes. (got a jig also, miracle device, just Ebay'ed Captivate Jig)
Hey guys. I'm sorry to ask. I'm traveling and don't have allot of time. I'm an experienced HTC user my buddy has a rooted cappy but no cwm. I know very little about Samsung. Can I just flash that update zip? The phones on 2.1 and I want to put gingerbread on it. Thanks in advance.

You can use that update zip, but you need new bootloaders for GB. Flash one of the odin/heimdall packages found here. After that just flash a kernel with cwm baked in with odin/heimdall and flash w/e rom you want. Reminder flashing bootloaders can hard brick the phone if connection is lost at the wrong moment or you mismatch bootloaders. Just flash a package that includes them and you should be good. Make sure your cable is good and so forth.. Good luck

You shouldn't need ADB. It should run on 86 and 64 bit OS. Odin is windows only, heimdall is multi platform.

No we can't. Rom manager was never very good with our Galaxy S phones and its gotten worst. +3e recovery its just trash in general. Easier to flash a kernel with it baked in.

Couple days ago I flashed cm7 on my phone, at first everything worked fine and it was awesome. I should mention that I'm new to the modding scene. Anyways I'm having problems with my mobile network. I can't make any calls because apparently my phone cannot find my mobile network.
I've done a little research and I think I might have to flash my radio which should be no problem. I've read forums and have tried to find the appropriate "modem.bin" for my phone but some of the threads date back to a year or longer. Does anybody have a link to the best modem for my phone/rom?
This is the rom I flashed cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip from the cyanogenmod download site (won't let me post links -.-)
My other options I suppose would be to flash another rom and hope it works.
EDIT
I found this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945 ) and it turns out that JK3/JK4 modems work for Bell in Canada. Just wondering, do the modems have to be compatible with roms?
ya the modems have to be compatible.. actually samsung code based roms and google code based roms have different installation files for modems
for me the KB3 and KF1 modems from this link CM7 modems ported from Nexus S work best..
When i first moded my i9000 it had its modem changed akd i got horrible reception. Like i wouldnt get service at the back of the grocery store, where my mom would get full bars on her stock phone. So i flashed to kg3. It is the stock i9000 gb modem. If you can't find it, pm me, I have a flashable zip on my computer!

Thanks for the replies!
I guess I'll try and flash KB3 or KF1 first and see if I get any good results, I'll update my post when I do. I suppose I should also read up on android devices to try and get a sense of how things work. Does anybody know any good educational sites for android? Thanks again for the help! it's appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, I know xda is an awesome site for information but I feel like the info is all over the place and sometimes a little challenging to find. I was looking for a more organized source of info.
I flashed the KF1 radio but I still don't connection to my carrier (msg: mobile network not available). I'll keep searching the forums to check if anyone has had the same issues. Any input would be appreciated, not quite sure what it could be at this point.
