Jellybean OS? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was wondering how I can get the Jellybean OS to run on my Captivate?
Links or guides or anything would help.

JB ROMs
Hi,
in the Development forum you can already find 2 ROMs that are based on JB, namely Slim Bean and Unofficial Cyanogenmod 10. First failed to install for me (rebootet while flashing) [EDIT: I was in fact doing it wrong, works for me now, thanks to b-eock], second had data issues, which can supposedly solved by turning Flight Mode on and off.
CM10V7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783064
Slim Bean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795770
Guides are linked in the posts.

You have to flash it twice -_- dont make him think something is wrong with the rom... It has to do with the new kernel and partition layout.

Well, at least that fails for me, unfortunately I can't yet post in the developer board.
However CM10V7 is kind of working for me. To get mobile data connection I had to turn on Flight Mode and Turn it off again. Unfortunately Wechat (formerly Weixin) stopped working, don't know who is to blame in that matter.

Also remember to do a wipe the first time you flash and the second time if it reboots during the initial flash. I made that mistake and had major issues. On the first boot everything that tried to load force closed. It was a simple fix though just went in wiped and re-flashed.

that reminds me, is there necessarily a huge benefit to upgrading OS?
or if not jellybean if someone can also point me towards an OS that runs better than gingerbread o:

I haven't tried anything but Slim Bean as far as jelly bean ROMs go but if you are looking for a good stable build I would stay away from jelly bean for the time being. I say that because its a new OS and hasn't had all the bugs worked out yet at least as far as I've read.
There are several ICS ROMs out there that are available. If you look through the development forums you'll find more than you can read through. The few that I've tried have all been better than gingerbread.

I highly recommend miui v4 . Its pics based and beautiful

With the EU bug lurking around in the ICS roms, I'd steer clear of ICS on your Cappy until a fix is found, otherwise you risk a potentially permanent nerf of your phone's internal memory. Just sayin'

The dangers of flashing non captivate ROMs

Hey guys, I have a question for you wise devs, it comes with a bit of a background story. Basically favorite ROM dropped support for my phone, now they only support the i9000, I have an i897. I am going to try to port. I want to be ready for a worst case scenario: say I screwed up the port, framework is incompatible, what would happen? Are the two phones similar enough that I could still get to download mode, or is a hard brick certain?
Fyi: I am using a guide from a trusted source i found here on xda, I can post link if you want thanks greatly appreciated

If u port something. Please port 4.1 jelly bean b5 gnex stock rom of elitemovil
Well if you didn't port it properly you might get some apps that will Force Close and that also your soft keys might not work properly etc....
Also there is not risk of getting hard brick.
P.S.: If you're porting a ROM, please port it for your self only!

Great thanks! Yeah no way am I putting anybody's phone at risk haha, I just want to get to know the porting process and the folks at darkyrom are completely ok with me trying and so I'm gonna give it a shot, again thank you! Question though: if I get good enough at it and can provide updates and support and the devs at darkyrom are ok with it, how do I go about making the port public? Are there people's permissions I need? Thanks again=)

Really light rom with decent battery life (ics or jb)

Hi guys and girls!
Hope you are all doing well. Anyway, I rooted yesterday and am running a new kernel (speed mod k13 I believe) anyway. What I am after now, is as the title says, a light, fast rom with decent battery life. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or experiences and could suggest something. Would a CYANOGEN from work? When I had my galaxy s I was using 7 and found it really good. But are there others?
Cheers!
Oliver

cyanogen will indeed work as will paranoid android charack,s,rocket rom if its lite you want then look for a rom with aroma installer so you can install what you want
Cheers!, really liking the look of paranoid android, especially the hybrid roms! it has been a goood while since i flashed a rom, so need to figure out what i have to do again. lol, thanks, if you can provide any tips on moving to this rom from stock ics with speedmod kernel, it would be helpful! Thanks.
Is this a decent guide to follow for paranoid android?

As long as you are on safe kernel you don't have to worry about anything or to revert back to GB. Just keep flashing rom with full wipes. Its enough for you.....
So, i am trying to back up through CWM on hydracore, it gets soooo close to the end and then says there was an error backing up the data, any ideas on what this is or a remedy for it?
I dont really want to flash a rom without doing the backup... even though in the past, i have done (old phone) is it imperritive to make a backup?

What exactly you want to backup from old rom, apps? If so then use titanium backup. I never backup whole rom as it hardly takes 15-20 minutes to setup rom if you have backup of apps.

Yes, as with any AOKP/ CM9 based rom..
There are alternative apps that could be used.
Otherwise, there are some excellent choices when it comes to Touchwiz-based roms as well.
Some are available themed to the AOKP look, if you prefer.

Tquetski said:
This rom does not come with that theme, I only took the screenshot to show it works
-Apply theme components (Icons..) separately.
-When applying icons, the manager will force quit before 100%, it doesn't matter, the icons are still applied.
-After applying a new theme, restart fully for it to take effect (Maybe miuihome just needs to be relaunched, either way.)
IE: All FCs are non-function impairing at this point, just annoying and VERY rare outside of certain things, like icons.
There are no FCs outside of the first MIUIhome FC on boot, and in the mentioned sections of Theme Manager.

I haven't been, I'm not sure what base he's using but I know he'll release a quality rom when his build is ready.
This build is just an alpha for observation purposes even though it is functional somewhat, right now I'm working with the galaxy W folks and there is a lot of communication going back & forth and the base I'll be using will most likely be 2.11.30, because the code is cleaner and It is a more stable release in general.
Give me an hour or so and I'll compile a .30 build to throw up here, If everything goes well
Edit: Believe G-apps was removed by default w/ MIUI
911 should work, shouldn't it. If its based off the latest cm10
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
This build is broken in 3 major ways, because it is an alpha
- Miuihome port is borked for icon refreshes (this includes installing from the app store)
- No GPS
- No USB storage
So any action you cause that updates 'home' will cause a force-quit in terms of 'new' icons.
If people want to use MIUI the best version for stability is ICS based at least for a little longer.
Smartguy you should post your JB publicly so folks can debug it, I can understand if you don't want to because It's not 'complete' but does it really matter as long as it gets finished somehow

What do you mean? I just posted a link earlier in this topic linking to the new home of MIUI JB, It's not discontinued but GPS is currently broken because the location service seems hardwired to use Baidu; there's nothing I can do about it right now.

Hey can u do some of these ports for the GS²

Thread closed. Per op request.

solution to reduce the lag on your GT7.7

WARNING -- you may try this on Jelly bean only, as ICS and HC are not protected and might lead to BRICK bug
Hey All
I noticed that after we made a factory reset our device is extremely fluid fast and smooth
but after couple of days it starts to lag, and continue to lag more and more.
I found that the problem is Storage performance is decreasing overtime due to not wiping and trimming the blocks that we don't use.
This is a famous problem and discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971852#fm
even google fixed it on Android 4.3
Just try this application and tell me, how did you find you device state now?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en
and you can benchmark it before and after
Thanks all
WARNING -- BRICK-BUG
OP, for certain devices, the app developer has stated BrickBug means DEATH of your device if you try LagFix!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37029420&postcount=122#fm
There maybe users with SGT 7.7 models still running stock HC/ICS kernel (edit: unpatched) and recovery, so potentially at risk.

As far as I'm aware, JB is not faced with the brick bug. I was warning about previous Android versions. Have a read of the XDA thread I linked, can explain things better than I ever could.
No, I think this thread is ok, but maybe make reference to JB only in thread title etc and possible brick warning if used with other.
Edit: I see you put a warning in OP, thanks.

for real, and i tried it several time, it restores the speed of the device to the day i made factory reset.
it's not placebo and i benchmarked before and after, and the topic above also shows benchmarking.
and even reviews of Android 4.3 talks about trimming and how he removed sluggish from N7 first Generation.
Anyone with JB are welcome to try it.
I miss PA android BTW and the feel of nexus on my device
when Android 4.3 based ROMS are out, I will flash it.

Yes I am male with b**ls of steel and i raped my P6800 many times. I know what I am doing and i'm familiar with my hard and software.
If your Kernel is avaliable with 3G Support, I'll give it a try. My P6800 is my every day Phone/Multimedia device and act also as a laptop replacement, with native Debian on it.
If I wreck it, it was my failure and I didn't cry for my mom
I must say, I tried your app for fun because I don't have any lags on my device. I have no need for "Project Butter", I use ADW Launcher ex, 268 Apps for IT Administration, Produktivity, Games, Multimedia. If I feel an app opens slowly it's time for "fschk" the Partitions. After that everything works fast and smooth as before.

BTW: I've never actually factory reset etc using the stock recovery, and suppose never going to get the chance .The app developer also made reference to various bricks using his app caused by brick-bug affected devices.
Samsung themselves have signed off the patch (amongst others), so good enough for me. Just a shame that I don't have the option of using this app (safely) unless I use daniels custom JB ROM.

Basebands Reviews

I made this thread so users who tested basebands to provide some useful reviews (battery backup, performance, bloatware, etc) for every user who want to know which baseband, new or old, has what he`s looking for or the baseband just came up and it`s new and he wants to know about it.
I tested MBM-XXLQI from Macedonia recently and all I have to say it brings nothing new about battery backup on the contrary it seems worse than DDULP8 from India or XXLQG-ITV from Italy, and in addition it has a lot more bloatware too.
I am going to test the new VSLPA from Argentina(moviestar) to see what it brings new as it has the latest build date and changelist, and I`ll provide a review in a day or two. You are free to do the same as we may have different opinions.
I am using VSLPA from Argentina from 1 day now and I have to say it provides the best battery backup till now, only 1% consumed over the night.
About performance, it`s pretty much like the other firmwares, tough i notice that lag is slightly reduced in this one or it may be placebo effect, don`t know yet.
Go try it yourself and report back to see if you have a different opinion from mine
I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.
I'll provide the list of bloats removed when I have time if it is of any use
Sry for the way I express myself but english is not my native language
Goodluck and don't think about it just flash it and see for yourself

I did. I tried it after a reboot too and I also it is ok with heaving gaming too. I tried asphalt 8 with interactive+sio and with powersaving and everything was smooth.
If you don't believe me give it a go and try it yourself

I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.

This is as if you were explaining you saw a ghost.
Are you sure about this? Cause I heard similar things for previous FWs before, even though they all lagged like hell.
And 7 hours ago you were saying the opposite, how's that possible? What exactly fixed it, when it was the same when you first tried it?
Anyways I'm on GB now, got burned once and now I want to be sure if it's really lag free before I upgrade.
in sammobile, some of the firmwares are made for some particular carriers.Is it safe to flash that carrier basrd firmwires??

If your device is network free(meaning that another carrier sym is working) you can flash any firmware you want for our device with odin. Juat download it from samsung-updates, unrar it, put the tar file in pda section of odin and hi start.

@TheBeast I told you all the steps I have made. I don't think it's so hard so you can't flash it yourself

Upgrading isn't hard. Downgrading is a pain in the ass.

First of all GB and JB are different in every aspect so you can`t compare one to the other. First time it was just after I flashed it then I did all the things I said ( root, flash cocore kernel, changed governors and I/O etc. ) and after that i used it till it shut down and then while it was turned off I let it full charge, after that i booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik cache and reboot and that was all.
But you should never expect that JB to be like GB.
If you don`t like stock i suggest you to upgrade from gb to jb then flash CM 10.1 from Team Canjica or if you want stock based Roms try Harshjelly or SamiOS.
Before you do all the things read some guide about how to flash with odin, how to root jb shaan`s guide and some more if needed.
If you do some research before you should not have problems
Goodluck

Why would you want to downgrade? First read guide about Odin and then go and read Harshjelly thread first then flash his rom and from there on should be easier to learn about governors,I/O schedulers,kernel etc. After you think you have a good knowledge base and you`re still not happy with you`re android you can move on to CyanogenMod 10.1 of Team Canjica(19.10 nightly is the most stable version).
Goodluck

Thanks, but been there, done that. All I'm saying is that I doubt it's lag free, I did try various firmwares, kernels and stuff but 5 sec delay when opening apps and lag in games, videos, UI is so bad that it's unbearable. That's why I had to downgrade, which is a much complicated process which frankly I don't want to repeat. That's why I want to make sure the new firmware is lag and delay free before I upgrade again.
And I'm pretty sure JB isn't supposed to be that bad, despite the fact that S Advance isn't much of a phone.

In cyanogenmod you wont encounter any kind of lag. So you can flash VSLPA via odin then flash cwm temporary make a backup then root it play with it a day or two and see how it goes and if you dont like it restore from backup then flash cyanogendmod 10.1 and i guarantee that you wont encounter any kind of lag there.
And btw id you want to thank me for any help just hit Thanks button and I`ll know
