As many of us know, Samsung Created a Galaxy S family brand (captivate,vibrant,epic,fascinate) along with a tablet.
The tablet boast the same features/specs as most of the Galaxy S Line
Froyo
480x800 resolution (Super AMOLED)
Camera resolutions -- 2048x1536 rear, 240x320 front front facing camera
S5PC110 Hummingbird at 1.0 Ghz (same CPU as the Galaxy S series phones)
Flashplayer
GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth
Swype
JavaScript 1.5 support
SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language) support

The tablet isn't out yet, but the FIRMWARE IS!
So here's Froyo for the tab http://www.multiupload.com/TZ88IED0TN
rar password is: samsung-firmwares.com
Lets see what you devs can dig out, for the improvement of our phones
GREAT FIND!!!! Can't wait to see what you guys can make of it. If most of the hardware is close enough to the same as far as the camera and what not we may even be able to port this, also I thought the tablet was supposed to have GSM radios in it as well. That would be fun lol. Good find though.

by the time this rom gets repackaged for the captivate, the official froyo rom will be released.

dont lose the faith buddy
two questions:
1) Has anyone tried to flash this yet just to see what it's like?
2) If someone has flashed it, have they been able to successfully revert to a stock captivate rom?
I'd love to be the guinea pig, but I wanna make sure this isn't a one-way deal
EDIT: Tried it, boots to a screen that looks like someone is trying to get a signal on an old tv with an antenna(grey and black lines). I didn't check if it went any further, just pulled the battery and flashed back to jh3

The tab has a 600x1024 resolution. Samsung firmwares web is wrong about this. This can be deduced from the dump of the fw. Apps are showing a 600x1024 layout, the shutdown animation pics all have a size of 600x1024 etc.
odd, all of the post install stuff looks for I9000 as well as the tablet... maybe this will flash to an I9000?

I agree, we should find an I9000 guinea pig, because the Galaxy S Tab is a Giant INT Galaxy S, as an Ipad is a giant itouch.

Already tried it on my GT-I9000, and i'm getting the same results as the others in this thread... aka it doesn't get post boot screen
I would be very surprised if just flashing this on the phones would work - the hardware must have enough differences that we'd need the get our drivers into the rom. If this was a source dump, then we'd be talking. It does bode well for Froyo on the phones if they have it working on the tablet already though.
Chit. I use my captivate like a tablet. I don't use it as a phone. I use my everyday phone the N1. I would love to have this ported to my captivate though. Then it will be my real samsung mini-tablet. LOL. Stupid me... I can wish though. I also wish someone could ported to our phones.

The resolution is 480x800 because Froyo doesn't support any higher.
I'll try to flash this and see what I can do. Not sure I'll be able to get too far, but I can at least try, right?

We are just about in the same boat lol. Although I do put my sim card in my Captivate at night and use it as a phone, I've never taken it out with me for a full day (my Nexus One has that duty for now).
Hopefully soon I will be able to get my Captivate set up the way I want it, then it can be my daily driver.

Yeah. Got the captivate and returned at first. I kind of wanted the bell vibrant. But thought about it little more and rebought the captivate. I waiting for cm6 on this thing. It will be so nice. I really like the galaxy s series. However, my trustee n1 will be with me for a while. Not until cm6 is available for the captivate.

maybe samsung made a custom build? i honestly have no idea as although the firmware they released points to 1024x600 you are right about froyo supporting only 800x480. weird
This may just be nonsense, but is there a .tar file with a stock i9000 kernel for one of the froyo builds? If so, might this work if someone flashed that .tar after this one? Just a thought.....
EDIT: Just for kicks, I flashed the stock captivate kernel after flashing the 2.2 tab rom, and I was able to get to the recovery menu where it failed to install/check for some package and wasn't able to complete the installation. Trying to boot afterwards resulted in my captivate being stuck at the at&t logo.....
EDIT2: Since I was doing something useless anyway, I flashed the xxjp3 froyo rom for the galaxy s,then the captivate kernel, and it goes into an infinite bootloop. Again, this was just for kicks. Flashed back to jh3 with no problems.
Ok... Well.... I managed to get into Recovery from flashing a stock zImage.tar.
What can I do from here? It won't get past the ATT logo otherwise...
You don't. You go back to your back up. Its a no go.

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

supercurio joins the discussion at the bottom of page 6
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
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..
oh i thought you would just have to replace modem and kernal and gps files and you should be all good :|

This is a just leaked rom for the galaxy s. hopefully the devs can use it for the vibrant.
well even if not at least we know now that Samsung wasn't lying about March for the euro/Asian markets.
Nice, hopefully we will be able to use this to our advantage?
Also, couldn't we flash this since we now have the kernel that allow us to flash i900 ROMS? If we could just flash those files, then flash the kernel through Odin somehow it might work. Idk though, I'm no dev.

GINGERBREAD leaked
damb, this is so great, im thinking maybe tonight we might have a port for the vibrant, and i wonder if eugene and krylon know about this considering, it just today got leaked, a few hours ago.............. anyways, everyone post on this, lets get the hype going, we want this baby ported ASAP.. always thanks so much eugene and krylon, my brothers of galaxy android
So far from what i've read over there...
Looks like quadrant scores are not improved over 2.2 which is what i'm sure most people are hoping for. It also appears that the screen off animation is not present in the rom. It's also using Touchwiz 3.0 and not 4. Market is broken, and gingerbread keyboard also not included. Looks like an early beta build from what i've read.
**edit**
market is working, they have root access, and they are in the process of deodexing.
So far from what i've read over there...
damn double post. please delete
Sweet, hope we can get some cooked roms soon
The bad thing about it, it uses touchwiz 3.0, not stock.

The kernel that allows us to flash i9000 ROMs is only 2.2 and 2.2.1 compatible. I'm pretty sure someone would have to build a new kernel to let us flash that or port the ROM over.
The crowds are getting restless over there. They're in an uproar about "this is missing" and "that is missing". One of the complaints is about the gingerbread wallpaper being missing. But these guys forget that our 2.1 devices didn't come with stock 2.1 walls. They instead came with whatever wallpapers samsung gave us. Overall it's starting to sound more complete than the first froyo leaks that we used to have which is reassuring. Some of the guys say that the leak is stable and everything is working on their devices. One of the nice improvements they're reporting is functioning hardware acceleration.
No TV-off?! NOooOoO!

Funny to see their behavior over it when we are just sinking our teeth into 2.2.1. Maybe its a good thing though.. I myself am so pleased with the performance boost of 2.2.1 that I'm in no rush to flash again but of course I'm in the minority on that.

Na I'm with you on that, running Bionix 1.3 and it really is just as fast as CM7 was for. Really the only thing that gingerbread had over this ROM is that the applications list loaded faster. Plus on this I have themes
