Hello,
Can someone explain to me how to flash official ICS to Bionic using Ubuntu?!?
I can not help you with this in Ubuntu.
I have Ubuntu, have for several years.
Finally gave up and used Windose XP.
Aftert installing GB, I installed Safestrap.
Now I can have any rom I want.
Currently running GB, ICS and JB.
GB and ICS are stable, JB has a few problems still such as camera and video.
THIS IS ONLY A SUGGE4STION.
DO RESEARCH FIRST.
SEARCH FOR HOW TO.

OK so I'm on rocket rom v22 gb.....and would like to be on ics team rocket rom v1.5 but I was wondering if there is a way to flash just one package instead of doing 3wipes and two reboots and finding the right kernel.....
I guess I would like the easiest way to get onto ics I have never used mobile Odin and i don't have a computer right now....
Any info or methods of the easiest way of getting on ics team rocket roms would be greatly appreciated

There's no way for you to get RR v1.5 without a very complicated install procedure. First, you have to flash stock GB Rom, then root it, then flash v1.4 with wipes before and after, then flash v1.5. First step involves using a PC.
Alternatively, you could replace the first abovementioned step (GB Rom) by flashing the original Chinese ICS leak using Mobile Odin.
If you want to get a taste of ICS, go for Midnote ICS. It has relatively painless flashing process. Just make sure to read and follow flashing instructions to the letter.
Hope this helps.
Thank you would I be able to go to rr 1.5 from midnote ics easier

I tried to do that and failed.
Guess it's just me, but what's the hurry?
I came from a Streak, stuck at 2.2.2, which was working, but the streak was
a bit slow. Switched to the Note in December, GB is WAY smoother and faster
not to mention rock hard stable. I do appreciate you brave souls that have the patience to screw with leaked roms though.
Install AOSP ICS, you will see that its easy and it rocks
Hey everyone.. I know i am not the only one that is wondering about this but i am just not cool with the fact you can not revert to GB. I am running eclipse right now and was wondering if there are any other non ICS leak roms? Thanks in advance everyone.
There's one called the artic . I think ppl didn't make many gb roms because ics leaks were fast approaching. I was considering trying my hand at getting another gb rom together but eclipse is quite nice...calmed my flash itch and I am trying to b patient for an official ics ota

Many people have reported being able to revert to GB. There is a whole tool dedicated to switching between ICS leaks and GB builds. It just sometimes takes them a few times. I'm on the 213 leak, though, and I'm planning on sticking with it until there is an official release (It works great).
No one has been able to go from an ICS leak back to GB. No one.

You cannot go back to GB. What the tool does, is reload the GB files needed in order to flash another version of ICS. YOU CANNOT REVERT BACK TO GB. LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
I've been using ICS for a while now on the old safestrap. Just decided to upgrade safestrap to 3.05 and try some new roms. I'm kind of tired of not having a video camera in ICS so I was going to go back to GB. However I really like the AOSP roms like AOKP and Cyanogen.
I don't remember did we ever get an AOKP for GB?

No aokp for gb, there is a cm7 somewhere but it was abandoned before completion.

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.

Hah yeah, I only found out last night. Okay, that all sounds logical. Only two questions are, what is SS 3.11, and what ROM would you suggest. Thanks for replying!

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).
:thumbup:
Ok im getting a used phone that is stocked never been rooted and ill update to 2.3.5. What is best stable rom with battery life and OC after i odin and corn kk_4 v705 and do i need BL drs or not necessary?
Many ROMs are stable. Best ROM is the one you like most.
For people with no experience with Captivate I always recommend this Guide. It shows step-by-step how to update the OS from GB to CM10.x stable. CyanogenMod is the most popular ROM, CM10.1.3 Stable is JB 4.2.2 based, CM10.2 Stable is JB 4.3.1 based. Don't flash beta or experimental ROMs as your first custom ROM. Read the guide VERY carefully and try to understand what you are doing.
Ive had Cappy back in the day with Heimdall days and 2.2 lol. Im getting a used Cappy this week it will be 2.1. Yes i already have latest stable 10 and gapps downloaded and ready and wanted to know if i can use the s3 touch wiz after all is said and done? Sec launcher signed or unsigned? Can i use neat kernel on this or what do you recommend for OC`ing?
- You can't upgrade to CM10.x starting from Eclair, read the Guide.
- You can get TouchWiz style theme and/or TouchWiz launcher, whatever you like.
- Be careful what kernel/version you are looking at, different kernels are for different Android versions.
- I wouldn't recommend OC over 1.2GHz. Default CM kernel supports step OC to 1.2GHz.
- Careful with CM10.2 Android 4.3.1 based, kernel change may break the ROM.
I see you are in a hurry to transform your Captivate to something awesome, but please read more and understand what you are doing. All the information needed is already here on XDA. Use Search and you'll fund what you are looking for. Upgrading from 2.1 to 2.3.x includes bootloaders flash and a risk to brick your device. I recommend you to use KIES for this process, follow the instructions closely.
I meant after ive done the kies and 2.3.5
OK
- you can use whatever you want launcher with CM10.x
- Neat kernel is for different Android version (4.4.x), don't flash it
- for CM10.2 my recommendation is to use default CM kernel
hello, mine is CM10.1.3 but I was able to use the JB 4.3 but its running real slow. do I need to update it for something?

CM11 Android 4.4.2 based nightly builds are quite stable. Some features are still missing, but coming back soon. I'm currently running latest 20131215 and I have no issues whatsoever. In my opinion, CM11 runs better than CM10.2 and uses less RAM. Leave ART alone for now, it's in experimental stage and more potent hardware is needed to show real advantages; use default Dalvik VM.
Keep in mind, that once the phone is repartitioned to run CM10.2/CM11 there is no easy way to go back to CM10.1. You'll need to go back to stock GB, flash Corn kernel, flash CM10.1 to repartition, flash CM10.1 again to install the ROM.
thank you! but can I directly update it to CM11? since Im running CM 10.1 or do I first need to update it to CM10.2?

Follow the instructions:

once you get a custom recovery on the phone, then it becomes a much easier process. I only really found trying to unlock the phone as the main difficult item.
