I think he meant the radio. Since att crippled our radios uplink speed. (Hsupa disabled). Could be wrong. But i think that's what he meant.

Was it necessary to be ugly?
I apologize for not explaining myself thoroughly.
No I was referring more to getting a dump off the rodgers captivate so we can get that firmware that only Rodgers releases and hope that hsupa is enabled. Because regardless of roms this captivate has been an awesome phone but what ATT did to this is unjustified and borderline illegal. Those @ssholes farked this phone up real good and it going to be awesome to get this thing free and 100% up and running.
Back to the them of this topic...
Vanilla rom would be nice as long as there is no att restrictions and this phone is 100% free .

Yes this is a 100% android stock 2.1 aosp rom, about the rodgers dump, it would be nice to have a look at it, but since there hasn't been any dump as of yet, were gonna have to wait.

do i go back to stock to use this?

Does this work on the captivate

This looks sooooo badass.
I just got the stock messaging application and the stock music player on my Captivate, now I see this. If they had data working I would be flashing it right now, but I rely heavily on data so I'll wait for the bugs to be worked out.
I really just hate TouchWiz and can't wait for a real vanilla experience.

Looks sexy, how hard would it be to fix the radio for us to use it? Also has anyone benched this beast?

Did you seriously ask just ask that?
yes it does. as it wouldnt be posted in the captivate section with the OP stating it runs on his captivate, and provided a picture of it running on his captivate.

Dude he didn't wanna read through the massive amount of posts in this thread (10) or the OP. I don't blame him! (it was hard keeping a strait face while typing that lol)

Now I am definitely interested in this because there is no point in running Touchwiz since it does seem to be pretty buggy and eventhough it is very colorful, I am using the latest launcher pro and prefer it but if I can get vanilla 2.1 running on my Captivate and be running data properly, then I will flash my phone with this.
Cheers,
Charlie

[INFO]A New Kind of Lag Fix

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748880
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!
Tayutama's Donate Link
RyanZA's Donate Link
And lastly, a little something to get your mouths watering:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc_PbQe1WVk
Launching and closing some games:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYcRq6ln0fc

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.

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

Bell galaxy S and froyo.

Is anyone else worried about Bell - notorious for their service - SGS will receive froyo really late or may not even get one?
I e-mailed samsung and got this result.
Hello,
The Froyo update needs to be approved by Bell. As you know, the update is not available yet.
Now I am doubly worried.
What does everyone think?
We are virtually receiving no news what so ever
and we only had one firmware upgrade so far from Bell......

The stock Bell firmware is really good though, why do we need update after update? One update is plenty. Bell won't hold the froyo update long on their flagship Android phone, especially when competing with the Captivate and Desire. If they're really slow, you can just flash the international one.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

i can say we are the luckiest of all the Galaxy S releases
we got the least problems, and the phone pretty much worked great, almost perfect out of the box
the only thing i'm looking forward in Froyo is:
- the Apps to External SD feature
- the support for BT mouse and keyboard
- build in Screen capture (currently using ShootMe)
that's all, as the phone is working so good, there is little to wish for,
...well perhaps if they give away $1 million US for each firmware upgrade, then i'll be looking forward to it

They BETTER NOT hold back on froyo for us or I will be going to the Bell Tower here in Edmonton and shoving this $500.00 phone up some Bell Corporate executives A$$!!!
I did NOT spend $500.00 on this phone to be crippled by Bell and not be able to upgrade to froyo (or beyond) because Bell dosent want to approve it. Whats not to approve? Its pretty simple and straight forward to me...

It's not that Bell isn't approving it, there is nothing for them to approve, Samsung hasn't finished the ROM yet. Samsung just gave their canned response.

I sort of thought that as well but with Bell you just NEVER KNOW I guess... lol!!! I am waiting patiently but I sure wish Samsung Mobile Canada would say SOMETHING on the facebook page... GIVE US HOPE!!!

at this point it's just the blame game to buy time for their Coders to finish their bug fixes

lol bell is going to approve froyo, I would very much doubt with rogers soon to offer the same galaxy s phone they would keep it at 2.1
If they don't approve it, remember that Sasktel also has the same i9000M. You can grab 2.2 from them once it comes out.

I find it weird that the Rogers Captivate is coming out of the box with 2.1 on it still though too. Why would they be releasing a phone in November or whenever it comes out that has 2.1 on it? Why not wait to launch with 2.2?
Is this another indicator that 2.2 is a LONG time a comin?

My apologies. I must have misunderstood your post. Yes... These would be nice apps to have but I am mostly interested in Apps2SD which will be nice for keeping the phone as clean as possible. Also... I find the Skyfire browser does an nice job of flash movies / vids. Will the 10.1 Flash app really make that much of a difference?

Skyfire does flash great but only insid skyfire
you still need flash 10.1 if you have Other Apps that requires flash to run properly, i came across a few of those, forgot the name, as i uninstalled them as soon as they asked for newer version of flash which as this point we can't install because we are on 2.1

Leaked 2.3 ROM FOR i9000 GALAXY S

http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/entries/show/6282349-android-2-3-2-leaks-for-galaxy-s-
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.

Galaxy note on its way

So.... today i dropped my phone (htc desire HD) and smashed the screen
and it really annoyed me for such a stupid mistake so i decided to cheer myself up and get another t mobile line out.
worst thing is my contract runs out in august so i only had a few months to wait.
but anyway.... i took the 2nd line and choose the galaxy note.
few questions.....
what will this start on? will it be 4.0.4 or will it be 3.2 something or other?
if its the 3.2 how hard is it for me to get straight onto 4.0.4?
will i need to root it?
I'm based in london, UK for anyone that might need to know.

note don't run on 3.x, most likely you will get a 2.3 phone. 4.03 was released few days ago in germany.

will i need to root it?
I'm based in london, UK for anyone that might need to know.

note is great but i would recommend u to go for S3! Note is just a multimedia master, all time champ, throw any thing and it will F*** that in less than u can blink ur eye but S3 is also a good phone..... lols
any ways on the serious i would recommend u to go to S3 cause it is better in terms of software than Note. samsung is not giving a **** about Software of Note. only one official rom and that also full of bricky ****.... Go for S3! it has more bright future!

reason i went for note was....
I have a phone and a tablet, when im out i use my phone (htc desire HD)
indoors i use my tablet, so i thought i'd get something that can do what my tablet does, thats why i chose the note.
I do like the look of the s3, BUT... i want a bigger screen and the note is perfect for what im after.
all i want now is a link to where i can get this 4.0 from? as once the note arrives to me on tuesday, i really dont want the 2.3 crap that comes on it.

So can anyone guide me to the right thread/place ect, so i can update my new galaxy note to 4.0 ???

Nope, running CyanogenMod9 with no problems at all! Gotta be careful though, be sure to read the warning sticky before doing any flashing. It is a bit of reading, but it can very well prevent you from hardbricking/superbricking your shiny new Note.

Sure can. I did. Just use PC Odin to flash the german ICS stock rom.

So where do I get this PC Odin and also the German ics?
And is there any downside to doing this? Like problems with the ics ?

You can, but the official ICS update contains an unsafe kernel that has already claimed Notes (don't know the details, but it's related to doing stuff in recovery). I wouldn't recommend official ICS if you plan on rooting/flashing.
