SGH-I897 OpenSource Samsung - Captivate Android Development

I just took a look at the opensource.samsung.com site and listed under SGH-I897 is an opensource.tar.gz . Can anyone confirm or deny that this is Eclair or Froyo?
Please and thank you.
The reason this is development is becuase I intend on taking a look at a few aspects of the "ROM" once it is determined which build it is.
Thanks!

It is 2.1. Froyo has 'Froyo' in the filename.

If theres just the one i897 its the 2.1 stuff. If there are 2 them theres a good chance its the 2.2 but they have had one for a while so its probably just the original

Thanks! Now, off to do some work.

Just downloaded to double check. Here's the info:
Android eclair 2.1 (android-2.1_r2)

Thanks. I guess that I'll take a look at the Vibrant FroYo release instead.... Eclair won't do much good, even with what I intend on doing. No one would want it XD.
Ah well, hopefully I can post about it soon. Thanks!
Edit: To clarify why I needed someone else to check, I'm currently at work. (Work 3rd shift) and downloading stuff onto the company laptop is a good way to get yelled at. Thanks guys!

I think this sort of thing is one of the biggest real annoyances of not having Froyo yet. To be honest the leaked DK28 is pretty good, but I think everyone (myself included) feels hesitant to commit to things because we'll do it "after Froyo comes".
For the longest time I did not upgrade to the DK28 because I figured fully cooked Froyo was around the corner. Certainly if I was a dev I would be hesitant to put effort into a ROM or a kitchen (not to mention kernal) until the final version was out. The biggest problem with not having it yet is not missing some specific features, its just that all the development for the Epic has this somewhat tentative feel to it as we all wait for Froyo and the Froyo source code.
exactly,I didnt want to make a ROM,but I had to get the name out there anyway,so....but yeah alot of devs really arnt giving 100% time/effort yet,but from what I hear somthing solid will be coming down the pipe very soon...

What exactly is "the kitchen". I haven't really seen that term here much.

A kitchen is a way of setting up custom roms on the fly. Usually it's web based - you click through a series of pages choosing exactly what features you want in your rom. e.g. I want kernal x, with theme y, with boot animation z, etc. Often you also get a list of apps you can have pre-installed on the ROM - typically freeware system tweaking stuff (Spare Parts, ATK, etc.) You get to the last page, click the button and poof, a customized ROM downloads to your computer. You just move it the SD card, load it up in recovery and you're good to go.
Sounds pretty great, because it really is, but no one is going to bother to set all that up until we have some finalized Froyo on hand. Really, it is unlikely to happen until after we have the Froyo source code, and then after custom kernels are released, which will take even longer.
In the meantime we wait...
Is there anywhere/anyone that/who could teach me how Android runs so that I can do some custom mods when we do finally get Froyo? I'm new to the developing scene.

It has a new bootloader - be careful, if it is locked you may not be able to flash anything else . . . wait for confirmation.

Perhaps, but first we must find out if the bootloader is locked down...
Give it some time it looks buggy as hell
It's not like we have to do too terribly much to get this working. All the captivate specific stuff has been the same code changes through all the updates as far as I am aware. I'm completely psyched for this to happen though! I'm not a big fan of Cyanogen's UI and lack of google apps, so this is going to be awesome!
The i9000 folks say the bootloader is not locked, still has download mode working, so it's possible to go back. Not advocating anyone flash this, just reporting.
They also said Samsung stripped out the Gingerbread visual tweaks (like that screen off animation), which sucks. They also currently don't have root, so market fingerprint is not editable, and TiBu won't work.
This seems like a very early alpha. None of GB stuff (animations etc) are in and there are still a few issues.
This is step in the right direction, but lets hope we have another leak later on.
Hmm n here I been running CM 7. Its interesting how fast Samsung went to 2.3, can't wait to see what the devs do with this

A day or so of the ROM on the i9000 boards and those problems should be fixed. those guys are badasses!

On a more serious note; I've seen multiple replies to the original thread saying that Download mode works.
This looks promising.

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.

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

Calling all vibrant devs!!!! Everyone should read this!!!

Sense is within our reach!!! It has already been ported to Galaxy S i9000 and Samsung Captivate..Us Vibrant owners need ALL the help we can get!! Hell who doesn't want sense on their Vibrant?!?!
I Have been talking to the dev over on that board about porting to the Vibrant, here is what he said:
chiledog said:
Sorry dude, but based on my captivate porting experience, unless a vibrant dev comes forward to make a port. It was just too time consuming and it was taking too much precious time away from the main projects to continue.
I'm not saying we won't eventually make ports for the other devices but you won't see a vibrant port from us in the near future.
By all means get the vibrant devs interested and tell them to pm me and I can tell them everything they need to know to get started but they will need to know how to build cm7, edit the initramfs, and obviously read logcats, dmesg etc.
A linux box is also a must obviously but anyone building cm7 would already know that.
If you have linux installed and you can sucessfully sync with teamhacksung and build cm7 with the kernel you can port this.

No. I think they're using the new radio partitioning in .6, so it needs a new kernel.

one question
i have a question. do you want a port of just all the apps to look like a sense. i mean you can make a 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 all look a sense with all the new sense apps and such but it depends on what you want. if you want the sense gingerbread than thats alot more work. there are alot of options, but you gotta realize that the new sense works off of hardware not found in most phones. sooooo you gotta take that into consideration. but i will look at the 19000 port and see what they changed. im finally gonna start making roms, kinda gettin tired of making my own and not posting them. give me a couple of days and you will have it. but i dont know if i want it 2.3 since theres no gps i dont want it. if you have suggestions i will think about it, and maybe port it. but i wont develop if theres no requests.
edit: please pm me with requests
edit: alot of people dont realize but when a port is brought over its not all the system files that they transfer, all samsung vibrant files are used, so thats why i made a post like this. devs dont create everything themselves and make things work, they keep old files and add stuff to make it like another phone. hence the reason why all roms have a certain base. blah blah blah, sorry been drinking and tired of randomness of roms. pm me if you want this ported the way i do it, which means, framework-apps-some system files into one rom.
Wow, i would love to have Sense on my Vibrant. Hope that someone start working on this...
Would really really be nice, I have two vibrants... one MIUI Thanks Segnaro and I would put Sense on the other one which is currently stock...

fards,
First, I really appreciate what you've done to make our Streaks performing better, as the likes of DJ_Steve, Krad, Spidla, and others. Your dedication to the dev of this great device has been invaluable. I did think before posting my comment. I know there have been communications around gingerbread coming to Dell Streak during the winter and that the source code had been posted which DJ_Steve had utilized in this ROM, but having said that there is no definitive answer to this question until the update is pushed out to us. If you read my comment you will notice that I stated that I don't think that there will be an official GB build. I hope that we get it, obviously, I'm just "don't believe it til I see it" kind of guy.
I would like to state again that I really respect your work and hope you will see the slight difference in the point I was making.

Can you post a link to that? Cause if you can't it might be because it's a closed beta that the dev has not released yet. So telling people to install something that isn't available isn't very useful.

Gee - that's my point. So why do people keep suggesting the Streakdroid betas as a fix to various problems?
I would recommend the version of Ice Cream Sandwich my Streak is running but i would get kicked out of the testing program. But it works really well, you should see the beta version of Google space maps it includes and it will stream music from any source within 50 miles in stealth mode!
