Can we flash this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780906
Multiple people are reporting great GPS results, and I am tempted to try it. I assume we could get this to work the same way as flashing a I9000 ROM? e.g. flash this Vibrant ROM, then Captivate kernel? Has anyone tried it?
isnt that the firmware that was released when JH7 was released. If so im sure it has the same gps configurations as JH7. People are reporting faster locks but the tracking is still inaccurate.
That is equivalent to I897UCJH7. And there are several threads going already about it.

wrong and wrong. while they were released by samfirmware at the same time, the build dates are separated vastly. all JH releases are from August while JI (like the Vibrant release) means it was from September. Our firmware is far more outdated than theirs. In fact, the build date of ours was August 27th so even when it was leaked, it was over two weeks old
Ok have you used this vibrant firmware? Do you know personally that it's vastly different than our outdated jh7

No one here has tried it yet, but it is a later build date. All the Vibrant comments I see say that tracking works on it - both Google Maps and Nav.
Just because Samsung-Firmwares releases them on the same date doesn't mean they are related. It only means that their inside man sent them on the same day.

The process works with the i9000 ROMs so it should work with the Vibrant ROM. If you are tempted then give it a shot.
None of us mind.

did you try flashing the stock captivate kernel first? I had some issues leaping straight into unhelpful's kernel at one or two points.
I seem to recall GPS not working AT ALL when using a Vibrant ROM... but I've flashed so many of these things my mind is blurring it all together

This is based off of the new Froyo I897UCJJ4 leak.
Pre-Cog-Kernel - I am building a multi stage kernel so I can include all of the goodies like Atinm and Supercurio have done. (not very fun, multistage is lame!)
Changelog:
ClockWordMod Recovery (thanks to Atinm)
---Fixed /tmp not mounting
---Replace recovery binary with one from the market (Atinm added in some menu options that I deleted binaries for to save space)
Custom boot animations (/system/media/bootanimation.zip)
---Properly moved up the int list so there is no delay
User Scripts (/system/etc/init.d)
Removed FM Radio module and int code (it's useless)
This allows for nandroid backups and flashing anything you want!
Known Issues:
If you do a factory reset you will have to flash the stock recovery so it can set things up again.

Guessing it doesn't have the voodoo inject then yet? Sounds like this might be a good kernel once it gets voodoo.

Heh, good good, its all fixed now, that edit was a false alarm, I flashed stock then my kernel, and it can't handle that initial setup recovery does, so stuck in recovery is what happen.

I tried flashing this and when it rebooted it just sat on the ATT screen for the longest time. Did it just need more time?
This is the stock source DG has for Cog4.
This was downloaded directly from samsung's fus servers. The only thing I have done to it is decrypted it and changed the filename for a simpler upload. I am not responsible for death and destruction caused by flashing this rom bla bla bla...
I'm a noob so I can't really offer any support and couldn't post this in the dev forum because I didn't have permissions.
There is another rom posted in the dev forum that shows a build date of 2-1-2011. Mine should be 2-19-2011.
Here is the link for the KB1 ROM (Odin Flashable)
http://www.mediafire.com/?i47m7nmcnd66zgr
CWM Version: http://www.mediafire.com/?7c8le9r43e289e9 - Thanks Pirateghost!
-this is CWM injected voodoo KB1 kernel thanks to supercurio
-rooted
-deodexed
-ran it through zipalign
-removed tethering apk that prevents tethering
-i did not remove any other ATT/Samsung bloat.... wanted to keep it stock and then work from there.
-added Titanium Backup and Captivate SGS tools and gps sec.conf file from Andromeda
-link target updated with corrected apn list for for those with data connectivity issues

Yeah the recent screenshots in the cog forum are from this. After DG's modding, of course. Not really sure if it is any different than the KB1 already posted in the dev forum but the build date is newer.
How to flash? With odin3? Please post, I'll let my cappy be a guinea pig!
I really don't have a clue how to flash it myself but I invite anyone who does know to post instructions or link the thread here that has all the steps.
This requires ODIN3 to flash.
I downloaded both this and the 2/1/11 version of the file from Dev forum. Uncompressed the zip and the firmware rar file are bit-to-bit identical. So, there is no difference between this and the ones posted in dev forum. All the files inside the rar are timestamped at 1/31/2011 with the exception of cache.rfs which is 2/7/2011 (on both versions).
I've downloaded both this file and the one chainfire linked to; they are identical (and both have homeBinary.tar files dated Feb 7) - and no, I have not flashed either... waiting for reports from others first about the ROM.
Do I need a .pit file to flash with odin3?

Flashed Chainfire's. No problems to report.
So is this even the official 2.2 we've been waiting for? I mean, if they have it done since Feb 7, why aren't they releasing it? And why would it be 2.2 when the Epic just got 2.2.1 today?

No. Only the .tar in the PDA slot.
Why even bother with 2.2 when there are 2.2.1 roms out that are flawless on the captivate.

I flashed the 2-1 version. Ran into partitioning problems going straight from my Andromeda install. Installed JH2 found here with Odin3 1.81 and used a 512.pit with partition checked then installed KB1 with no pit (pit is only used for partitioning). Then I rooted with Super One-Click and installed the no-verification 3e recovery from here.
It's working, but I just did this to make sure I had working steps so I could help a friend. I'll be going back to Andromeda after playing with this for a while.

The reason to bother with this is every other ROM has given me horrible issues with the phone losing all connection to the cell tower at a random time. The WiFi stays connected, but instead of the signal bars, I get a no connection icon, and I can't use the phone until I reboot it. The pure i897 setup has never had this issue, and it went away when I flashed back the last pure i897 ROM (Cogition 2.3B8).
Related to this same issue is the horrendous drop in battery when the phone loses the connection and constantly searches for it. I've never had it lose much juice when on standby when I had it on an i897 ROM. When using one of these frankenstein ROMs based on other hardware, I would sometimes find my phone almost dead in the morning with connection having been lost sometime at night.
I also hate he fact that none of the other ROMs have figured out how to really use the hardware noise cancellation audience chip we have on our i897. I can't really tell the difference between it being used versus a software solution from the other ROMs, but if I have the chip, by golly I want it utilized.
Going back to 2.2 for 2.2.1 doesn't bother me quite as much as losing key phone functionality and battery life. The phone was a bit snappier on 2.2.1 based perception, and HSUPA looked good in Speedtest results, but in real life usage the 2.2 ROM feels just as nice to use. Inject voodoo lagfix, and it would be a fine daily driver, just like JI6 was many moons ago.
I've flashed this one with odin3, seems to work ok. You have to root again after flash.
so is this official froyo or another leak?
What works what doesn't?
What has changed from the last leak?

Well.... it wasn't released by AT&T or Samsung.... so until then I would consider this a leak.
I'm no DEV but I am surprised that nothing has been released yet on this base.

AT&T needs couple weeks or even months to fully test the ROM before it can be released. So, it seems anywhere from now to next month, this ROM will be released publically if it is the official ROM. God forbid, if critical issues are found and ROM needs to be rebuild, we have to wait even longer.

No flame please
Well, i just noticed TODAY that EDT has a ROM named Asgard, hiding in their forums sneaky devs...
It's amazing, truly is, it just got updated, and i'm downloading it right now... so... yeah and its 214MB so yeah its a big download but definately worth it!
http://edtdev.com/forum/topic/122-r...orking-audio-routing-and-custom-kernel532011/
go check it out!
It has most of the things that the GB roms here don't have.
It has the fixed MIC thing no using that headset toggle app..
The rainbow problem has been fixed, but you have to let go of your camera and video playback, but if you want rainbow instead of losing the other 2, there's kernel's to do just that!
It's amazing what these devs can do!
I'm just sharing
Try it out!
It flashed no problems, just odin and flash, needs to be on RFS to flash, so don't flash it on EXT4 and i just converted to EXT4 on this and its even better!
TW4 is really amazing and i'm happy with what Samsung has done!
Here are some pictures from THE OFFICIAL THREAD.

Wow thanks man! Who cares about the 200+MB file size. As I always say "the bigger, the better". What Kernal do you flash via Odin before flashing this?

Just do what i did and not face any problems...
ODIN.
ODIN and flash like any other rom...
The ROM just needs for you to be on RFS, so im guessing if you turn off your VOODOO from any rom, that it would work, since its RFS, but w/e ODIN is quicker and faster!
I tried flashing this and ended up with a bootloop and a wiped sd card.
I'm Odining to stock now and am going to attempt to reflash.
They are not sneaky haha. This has been widely twittered and talked about if you follow the devs. They just don't wanna release it on XDA yet as it isn't fully bug-free and people here love complaining about bugs. That being the case it IS a public release on the forum as of yesterday was it so feel free to try it.
PS: Did I note that the kernel is also from cmenard and beside all the usual (Voodoos, tweaks, etc) it also supports up to 1.42Ghz overclock on Gingerbread? Yes...nothing on XDA has that yet
So I've actually never had to odin my phone. after I got root I've just flashed probly 15 different roms from recovery. So lemme get this straight so I know I wont be messing anything up. I use all the correct files and coding back to stock after stock I flash this rom through odin? Now with the rfs. I disabled voodoo on my current rom so I should be fine right? Im not on ext4 anymore? And I read the odin guide for noobs do I just follow its instructions just like I was installing any other rom? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Sounds like you flashed over ext4 by accident - Asgard has been shown to wipe your sd if you try to flash it over ext4.

At first, hell no.
Recondition, i did it once, and it lasted for 14 hours, and i use moderate-heavy.
Experiences may differ
i flashed this not too long ago and my touchwiz launcher keeps force closing. Do i have to odin back and do a re-flash? Also some widgets show up as "problem loading widget"
if you read the original thread over at EDT, there's fixes, read the last 2-4 pages.
I hate to be the thread crapper but I'll pass on this, as with all current Gingerbread ROM's for the Vibrant.
No offense to the Devs, I like their Trigger ROM a great deal, just need the GPS in the phone far too often to flash a ROM in which it's broken.
The very first GB ROM in which the GPS is confirmed to work is without a doubt going to get flashed to my Vibrant.

TW4 isn't really for our phones. So maybe that's why it's laggy.

yea it fixed itself. I just let it go through its thing and now it doesnt force close. I'll look into the widgets issue now. maybe they'll work now too. I love it so far.

It's certainly not the snappiest ROM I've ever used but I think it runs better than TW3 ever did on my phone. I'm in love with the new widget/page management UI they have going. It makes the standard Android UI look terribly dated and less useful by comparison.
Also, battery life has been better than MIUI or CM7 for me. After being unplugged for 4 hours, I'm at 87% with medium use. That's pretty good in my book.
Best Gingerbread rom and its brand new so give this a month an it will be simply amazing an its not laggy as some people say it has its moments but what rom doesn't
Features:
This is basically JVR based Apex 9.0 minus home haptic minus deodexing minus lockscreen options minus overscroll glow.
If you want all these features Apex 9.0 is your stop.
This is not an Apex release. 9.0 is the official version out
Reason for keeping it ODEXED:
In layman terms deodexing on JVQ+ roms seem to break browser.
In theory deodexing might be breaking some other functions too but browser is most noticable.
Once this process is fixed we will start getting wonderful ROMs with fully working browser and what not.
Since this is odexed rom MODs are much harder to implement. However it seems to be noticably smoother.
Whats ODEXED? Framework & Browser

I have not found any benefits yet but I also have not found any major problems. I am using the Darky R kernel and it is smooth.
I had to reboot for the phone to allow TiBu to root but that is it. Install all apps with no problems.
Not sure how much messing I will do with it since it looks like not much will be done on this ROM for a while... and I do not use the alarm clock

I will keep it on for a few days. Let me know if you want something tested. I use it mainly for exchange email and phone calls, with 10 or so texts a day. Use both WiFi and AT&T. Watch movies on the home TV not the phone......
Now available on rommanager and the Biffmod home page http://ibmirror.us/biffmod
Biffmod for cappy is here. I think you'll enjoy it.
The goal here was to create a stock 2.3.5 feel for the cappy , preserve the customization options of Cyanogenmod, and add the features I felt were missing.

DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.3 here
Steps to install
1. Download rom and put on the root of your sdcard
2. Select ROM in Rom manager
3. Select wipe data, cache, dalvik
4. PROFFIT!!!!!
No need to odin back to stock before flashing this and GB bootloaders aren't required
if the glitch kernel freaks out on you... you may need a different leakage version. Source code and updates for glitch kernel, can be found in the following thread ------->http://bit.ly/pNkURn
CHANGELOG:
v1.3- Initial release and port from samsung vibrant, relatively untested
Seems interesting...i'll try it out tonight.
As shall I... I doubt many people here will get the KingKlick reference lol (I'm from way back... G1 days). Great to see you deving for Captivate, biff.
you guys are officially testers. Please let me know any bugs or issues you have. Cappy and Vibrant are basically the same so i think i pulled it off proper, but since i don't have the device, its not possible to know. Once you all confirm its as stable as it should in theory be, i'll push to rom manager and start doing biweekly updates.
Sounds good. I won't be using Glitch though, I'm currently testing a kernel of my own (in my sig). TK-Glitch was the dev of Gitch kernel btw
I will give a try also this night!
So I can flash this with gb bootloader and Samsung rom without the need to go back to froyo stock?
Thanks in advance

That's what the OP says. If you have issues, then they're most likely caused by your GB bootloaders. Give it a try, worst that can happen is that you have to go stock. (disclaimer: worse can happen if you really, really, really screw up and I'm not responsible)
+1. I have jvp installed. With gb bootloaders. Do I have to-
1. flash to stock eclair
2. flash to stock gb
3. just wipe and flash?
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
P.s I have never flashed cm or aosp before, so I have just the very basic idea of aosp. Only thing I know is that battery was pretty bad on cm7 due to the phone not being able to get to the deep sleep mode. Could someone please tell me how is it on this?
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
I already answered this if you want to be safe, go for stock eclair. > flash

Using the glitch kernel fixed battery drains on my vibrant version, hoped using glitch on this rom would achieve the same thing. In theory it should. let me know guys

Sure thing. The ROM's been great so far, no issues except for a soft reboot, then when it booted it hard rebooted. Just a one time thing, and I've used the phone plenty since then, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.
Gonna flash here in about 15 minutes...i'll let u know what I think, preety excited for something different!
Error when attempting flash from Apex 9 (JVR):
"Assert failed, get prop....." blah blah blah.... "Status 7"
Hmm
Regards

EDIT: I modified build.prop to read SGH-i897 instead of GT-i9000 and it works. Well, it's installing as we speak...
EDIT 2: How can I change the band selection?? *#2263# isn't working...
Gonna flash in a couple of hours... Backing up stuff..! Ne more reviews n reports?
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
