Galaxy S2 Rom on Captivate?

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...

Yeah that's why I'm saying just do my method

Thanks! Any other suggestions for roms that are for captivate itself?

[Q] How do I upgrade CWM without Odin?

I run Linux and only linux and must admit I am finding it a bit frustrating that all my googling for how to flash CWM on to another linux device (android) involve Windows software Odin.
I originally flashed CWM with Rom Manager (on the advice of the only tutorial I could find for rooting without Odin), but I want/need to upgrade to v6 to be safe with pershoot's latest CM10 rom and Rom Manager won't help here.
Surely there is some sort of commandline trick that should be able to do this without need to plug into another device in the first place? I tried
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
But that didn't seem to work. Given it's from a tutorial for another device, no surprise. At least it didn't brick things.

Thread moved. Please make sure you post your threads in the correct section, i.e. [Q] question threads belong in the Q&A section where it now is and general discussion topics belong in "General".

What makes you think cwm 6 is "safer"?
I hardly know anyone using it having one for galaxy tab.
That certainly makes it less safe.

pershoot recommends it if you want to use his CM10 builds.

For P1000? Galaxy tab 7" original?
I have suspicion you have tab 10" ..

Good question!
The original android dev is about android as it was intended by google. (Aosp).
The other one is mainly for samsung based roms (with touchwiz and all that nonsense ;#)

Thats right, multiview is a feature developed by samsung and is part of touchwiz, both those things arent available in AOSP (Android Open Source Project) roms.
If you prefer a samsung/touchwiz based rom then I reckon Ultimate is alright.
I myself however have am more comfortable with an AOSP rom, currently and for the last year or so ive been using Paranoid Android, which can be found in the Original Android Development section of the forum.
It has alot of nice features such as the Pie menu, DPI Mods (which is awesome on the big screen of the G-Note).
None of the touchwiz features are available on that rom, I prefer it that way.
I suggest you make a backup and just try both : )
Have fun, and good luck!

[INDEX] ROMs,How To RooT,Recoveries,Kernels,Guides etc

Welcome to the Sprint Galaxy S IV Index Thread.
This thread will be maintained by me keeping in place all the ROMS/Kernels/Recovery for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 in one single thread.

ROM​
1. [ROM] Team Sonic-FreeGS4
2. [ROM][MDL] ForceROM 2.3 - Strive for Perfection
3. [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltespr)

We already got one of these with every rom, kernel, recovery, theme, mods, and more for the S4 in the general section. Been around for a month or so, check the signature, can't link to it on my phone. It's in the general section so probably why you didn't notice it :thumbup:

[Q] advice needed for ROM selection

Hi all,
My wife is using an international Samsung Galaxy Note.
As all of you have already know the performance of the phone has been degraded more and more as upgrades are added to it. I have wiped the phone and downgraded to 4.0.4 but wouldn't help.
I didn't know pay attention to the development of third party ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note. So I would be much appreciated if some of your can tell me which ROM is close to Stock firmware (TW based) and with speed optimization. Graphical improvement or additional function is not my highest concern, I just want to make the phone faster and easy for my to use (same interface as stock rom).
Thank you for all your help.

All Roms posted in the forum are good. But nothing beats the rom " Mybest Rom" developed by dsmas.

Indeed it is. Thread closed
