Hello,
I am a complete noob and need help figuring out how to do this, I have a kindle fire that i set up with the pure android 4.2 ROM, and was wondeing how i could do this with my captivate, and is there any way i can use this on AT&T without a data plan.
By the way the captivate is running the way it comes form at&t .
Click the link below and read (to get the idea), then read again (to understand what you are doing), then do exactly what it says (to get what you want). Start with CyanogenMod Stable 10.1.2, it's the most popular custom ROM (may change it later to whatever you want 4.2.2 based). Don't flash Android 4.3 beta ROMs as your first custom ROM. You need to download Google Apps too, version for 4.2.2 ROMs. Don't forget to backup your data before upgrading. Good luck!

Oh sorry, read it wrong.
Superoneclick won't work on anything higher than GB.
That being said, you don't need it to root your device.

should i install a froyo rom before i flash cyanogenmod 7.1???
No, cm 7.1 works better when your install base is Samsung gingerbread because of the bootloaders.
P.S. you don't need to create a topic when there is already thread for Q&A regarding CM7

okay i tried to install it on jvs 2.3.5 now the phone shows cyanogenmod icon and keeps rebooting :S
Known issue. Flash it again from recovery and it should work.
Dont forget to clear dalvik cache.

CyanogenMod is by far my favourite ROM. I highly suggest it if you're a fan of power and awesomeness.

The very same thread u're referring to says one needs to running rooted Eclair/Froyo Bootloader.
My question is, Do i really need to Downgrade to Froyo if I'm already on stock Gingerbread?
and also, How would we know if Gingerbread bootloader becomes "safe" in future, if ever?

No need to downgrade, GB bootloaders are safe.
In the early(er) CM7 days Froyo bootloaders were needed for CM, for the last couple of months both bootloaders are supported, and GB bootloaders are preferred because of lower batt drain.
If needed you can always go back to Froyo bootloaders using Odinn/Heimdall.

Can't find a source stating this, but i'm running CM7 with GB Bootloaders. Only risk you were running installing CM7 on GB was that your external SD-Card wouldn't be recognized, and there was a Loadscreen glitch when the phone booted.
Those issues was fixed a couple months ago, so there is no problem flashing CM7 over GB Bootloaders.

First go to recovery, do the three classic wipes (data/cache/dalwik) and flash the cm10 and right after it flash the Gapps for JB 4.1.2(for cm10.1 - JB 4.2.1).Download the Gapps fromhttp://goo.im/gapps/ (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip).
ok so i have to wipe everything before i install CM10 or can i just update from CM7? also my phone is unlocked will that affect that at all?
sorry i am like a complete noob for flashing ROMs and Gapps. i have a very basic understanding of it

Yes, you are.A noob, I mean. So I would recommend you to read Nooby's "The big noob how to".You will find all your answers there.
You need a rooted phone for having a recovery or as you say "unlocked" and no, you can't upgrade from cm7 to 10 because one is GB and other is JB.Read first, take your time and learn what are the pros and cons of a certain custom rom.CM10 has a lot of bugs, CM10.1 even more.You have already an official ICS or a very good custom ICS build from Huexxx called IZS.Absorb some knowledge first and don't rush because you will do a lot of crap to yourself this way.

Choco bread is an old ROM, im not sure it will work on that, but it will definitely work on newer ROMS , even CM10 and 10.1
BTW why chocobread? There are so many other better ROMS. If you go to android development section you will find many better ROMs than chocobread. Hell, even cm10.1 works properly now (android development>>Bazinga ROM by The Alchemist)

I'm sorry to hear that. If your phone is still under warranty, flash stock ROM and take it to SSC. (Actually even if it not under warranty, take it to SSC to determine the cause of your problems- it could be hardware related...for all you know, you could have purchased a defective model)
As for the correct method to flash a ROM-
1) Boot into Recovery.
2) Wipe data, Cache partiton.
3) Go to advanced>>wipe Dalvik cache
4) Install update from sd card>>choose update>>ROM.zip
5) After flash wipe data and cache partition.
6) Reboot.
That's all.
Hope this helped. Best of luck in fixing your phone:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

I´ve used both of them in the last months and they have some bugs, for example, GPS works very bad for me.
I´m also thinking about changing my rom and kernel mostly because of the GPS issue.

Yes.
For the questions you are asking, I think it´s the first time you´ll be doing this.
So first of all I recommend you to get into the developers section and read carefully all the procedure of how to flash, root and other things. If you try doing things without reading before, you might brick your phone.

Like @BachuArg said, read first - then try.
Be carefull, do not install I9070P JB on I9070 phone and I9070 firmware on I9070P phone. That will cause hard brick!!!
And do not use Hong Kong firmware, it will be stuck on that firmware.
So.
step 1. update rooted 2.3.6 to official jb?
step 2. download custom rom.
step 3 flash
step 4 wipe data/ blablalba
step 5 tada done
am i right? ^^

Nope.
You must ROOT you new firmware JB, then flash custom hernel (Cocore) and only after these steps you can continue with step 2, 3 blablabla. :highfive:

No need to change kernel. But it has red border sometime, it is explained how to remove it - read couple of posts later.
P.S. We all want 100% working clean and fast ROM. But we do not have sources to make it 100%. You can try it, and if you do not like it - you can go back to stock.
Explore, read, learn, try... That is what is Android about.
red border ok?
and camera wifi direct and other stuff does working normally? and the rom isnt laggy or slow at all?
nvm i used cocor kernel 8.2 smooth and fast as hell
only i doubt choosing a rom: omni rom or harsjelly?
