I was just wondering if the Captivate or Vibrant roms will work with the Galaxy S i9000 gsm version. It'd be nice if the rom library for this phone was a little larger
I'd like to know this is well..i have it rooted and have some rooted apps but don't know which roma will work and don't wanna try one and mess up my phone, lol. It's a real nice phone and I read that cyogenmod might be working on it. Or our was just that people wanted them too, lol. I hope so

I9000 roms work on the captivate and vibrant phones, so it should work the other way around. They do have the flash their kernels after flashing the I9000 firmware though, so you'd probably have to do that too.
All right, thanks.
A fine fellow named supercurio over on the I9000 boards has found a way to do a FULL FILE SYSTEM REPLACEMENT. It just started beta testing and the results are VERY positive. He's indicated that he is interested in porting it to the other variants, so I wanted to make everyone aware.
This whole thing started in a bounty thread to fix the I/O issues on the SGS, so I was hoping maybe the Captivate community could go over there and throw some cash into the pot to sweeten the deal a bit and show our support for what he's doing- this will also hopefully increase the likelihood of a port =P

Of course if you haven't already, and are using one of the current lagfixes you might consider throwing a few bucks Tayutama and RyanZAs way as they've been absolutely instrumental in the process of getting this lag fix movement off the ground in the first place!

This is a huge step in the right direction. In for this !
I'll be following this, as of course, ryan, tayutama zilch and I have been just waiting for a way to replace the damned rfs.
Wow that looks good, can't wait to help test out the beta. I'll be donating as it progresses along. Any word on when the beta will release?
Well right now the I9000 crowd is testing, he had a really limited beta release yesterday. I told him I've got a spare captivate for a couple days if he wants to run any bizarre experiments without fear of bricking, hopefully he'll take me up on it

I hope so, i'm running the I-9k JM1 rom on my captivate right now without a lag fix just cause and it works great! can't imagine the difference this will make.
This sounds like the lag fix I've been waiting for. Once it is out of private beta, and compiled for the Captivate, we need it added to SRE. Can someone get Samsung to add this to stock FroYo and ditch RFS for good.

[SOURCE] Supercurio's EXT4-based "Voodoo"Lag Fix
Picked this from the vibrant forums
Hey everyone,
Seems Supercurio has finally got a beta of his true fix for the lag on Samsung Galaxy S phones. The github is below.
DO NOT FLASH ON A CAPTIVATE until there is a Captivate version. This is posted to developers can take a look at the source code and start implementing it for the captivate.
http://github.com/voodoo-project/lagfix
Hopefully unhelpful or someone else can integrate this fix into his OC\Stock kernels, and we can enjoy our phones without the typical "galaxy s" lag/stuttering.
HUGE thanks to supercurio for all his hard work putting this together
EDIT: lol, guess he hasnt posted the source yet. the ramdisk is available in the download section.
Enjoy! Happy coding!
DO NOT flash this to your captivate. This is based on an I9000 kernel, so all the I9000 problems come with it. Wait for one of our devs to convert it over to stock Captivate.
It does however work using I9000 firmwares- I9000 kernel glitches still apply =P

Nope, just a patched kernel and a script should do it. This is the holy grail of lagfixes, I believe.
A bit early for us, but here is his compiled kernel and source code:

I am planning to flash this to my JM7 ROM once i get home lets see how that goes.
I'm running it from an I9000 ROM atm, but you HAVE to keep the I9000 kernel for it to function, you can't switch back to the Captivate one, and seeing as how there's no revert for this ATM this might not be for everyone
Also Rom Manager doesn't work with this =P

Calls and data work just fine. I'm using the I9000 kernel and a JG8 modem firmware (so I get 850 and 1900 mhz bands), it should still work with the stock captivate modem files too.
Basically you have to deal with reflashing a kernel whenever you want to run an update.zip and autorotate is boned

anilkuj, I'd make the "DO NOT FLASH ON CAPTIVATE" text bold, huge, and red just so people will for sure see it. Otherwise you KNOW people are going to do it.
Yeah I'm running a couple experiments to see how badly people can/will screw themselves up if they do lol
Hi , I created an XDA account a-while ago , but forgot I made it . So i'm now jumping back to this site , maybe going to try and be a active site member .
Anyways ..
Is a Gingerbread port in the works for the Samsung Epic ?
Not trying to be rude , but I noticed the Epic community is lacking [Edit :read below why .] The Epic Community is less active in almost every Android site I could find . In development , users , & even questions . It might just be , i'm coming from a Pre , so maybe i'm used to a whole site dedicated to 2 phones . But i'm in no-way downing the Epic or the community , I love both of them . That's just what i've noticed .
I'm a very tech-savy person , but know nothing about porting one thing to another . But I read on AC that Gingerbread was being ported to other Galaxy S devices , so why not us ? Is it bc of the FFC ? Keyboard ? I'm curious .
Do we need Froyo before we can get Gingerbread ported over ? I have a feeling once we get Froyo/Gingerbread the community will explode into a confetti of awesomeness .
Thank you guys .
Also , if this is posted in the wrong section , or has already ben asked [ Yes , I searched before posting ] please delete or move this thread . xD
It's a little more complicated than that. Our phone isn't as similar to the Nexus as, say, the Captivate. There's a whole host of differences. Keyboard isn't a problem, it's built into the OS. But, there's WiMax, CDMA, and EvDo, which makes it not so easy to backport a kernel. But, when we have a newer kernel from Sammy, we'll be able to just compile that into Gingerbread.
Also remember, only one carrier provides the epic. The other phones don't have front facing cameras or wimax to deal with. personally I think our devs over here are doin a great job.

I wasn't trying to down the developers in any way . I worded that wrong , I tend to be bad when it comes to stuff like that . I think they're doing great too , but i'm saying .. I see on AC , all these other phones getting Gingerbread ported . Some still getting Froyo ported . But I haven't really seen any discussion about that here .

Hmm , thank you for bringing that to my attention . I sometimes forget how much the Epic differs from the rest of the Galaxy line . & does Samsung release kernels regularly ? Or am I missing something ? I'm not good with words , lol . How long do you estimate until Samsung gives us a new kernel ?
xD I'm sorry for being such a pain guys .
Samsung wil get us a new set of source about a week after th official froyo drop.

That's one of the few things Samsung beats HTC at every time. They release the source is a very timely manner instead of holding back.

If any of these so called "tech-savy" guys had a clue what goes into developing software/hardware. They wouldn't be impatient as they are by posting request for others (devs) to do what they want.

Look , I wasn't trying to be rude . That's why I put that in the OP . I'm not impatient , I just wanted to know what was going on , because I couldn't find anything . I can't imagine how much work it takes to develop all this stuff .
I wasn't in any way downing the community . I'm just not good with words . I was asking what was in the works . So I could be informed . I couldn't find anything , I must be looking in the wrong places . Thank you for your work , & I apologize that my post may have came off rude .

I clearly stated in my post that I had no clue what goes into developing software . Like I said , I didn't mean to word it like that , I was simply asking a question . Not downing the community . Everyones so quick to criminalize someone without understanding what the OP is saying . Not trying to be rude , but I said twice in my OP that I wasn't trying to down anyone , but you make it sound like I was complaining or something .

Here's the deal for everybody wondering, and all you tech savy people out there, you know who you are. The gsm galaxy s variants, and the fascinate, all use bml as there dev blocks. The deal with the epic is, we use stl for system, data, and cache not bml. The nexus s kernel the other variants use on there port doesn't natively support stl dev blocks, we have to work that into the kernel itself through .configs and what not, which we have not yet achieved. That's if we were storing the port inside the phone itself on the OneNand, which also isn't natively supported, however, I'm working on the port now, which completly ditches the pevious idea and fools the kernel to set all the mount points on the externel sd card in a folder with subfolders of sys, data, and cache, so we don't have to worry about any other factors than if the sd card is formatted ext4, required by gingerbread. Once we get the port booting off the sd card then we stil have a whole bunch of problems preventing us from having a "functional" port, including keyboard drivers, cdma radio support, wifi, and even mms. In other words, we are being burrdened by a completly diffrent spectrum of hardware in our phone. Gsm != Cdma people. (;

First of all, I have a Vibrant not an I9000.
As part of the Vibrant Ragnarok Project, I deodex everyone of your 2.2.1 leaks within minutes. I use them for what I need. But, if there is a market for stock deodexed 2.2.1 Roms over here then I can start posting them. Is there?
Also, I theme these and mod these roms, take a look over in the Vibrant development forum and let me know if you would be interested in seeing the same over here. Just look for the Einherjar Dev Team releases.
You could port over your m10 Rom they are really good on the battery im currently running it on my i9000 and.got everything to work

Unfortunately I9000 doesnt work as good on Vibrant though...
It just boggles my mind that the 2.2.1 roms cause the Vibrant to reboot whenever the strength of the signal gets stronger the -70 dbm..

Hey
I don't know how many but there are still a hand few who still use this phone. I myself got this phone just a few months back from my friend @DowntownJeffBrown.
Now that we have 4.3, I just want to use it to its fullest! I'm a super noon when it comes to building ROMs but I can port. But some ROMs just need to be built eh? So my plain request to those awesome dev's , along with many who I hope will reply here.. Please build us some ROMs!!
Also, I'm not aware of much ROMs around this place, so I also request users to come up with the ROMs that can be built or ported.
Thanks!
