Thanks to Eugene, it is now possible for us to run i9000 roms on our phone. I don't think it needs to be said but... This is FREAKING AMAZING!!! Check out Eugene's latest Dead Horse kernal for further details. I can't believe I'm saying this but... I think I'll be making my first donation.
Thanks Eugene
I know it's pretty cool, as soon as I saw it posted I went and flashed darky's rom, and its probably the fastest I've used so far (i haven't even enabled a lag fix yet)

Not intending to flame,
But what i9000 rom is worthwhile? Or highly recommendable?
It seems like Bionix 1.3 covers most of what makes Darky's so special.
339mb Ram used to be the 'selling point' for me, but that's also covered now
(Unless I'm missing something...their OP is so damn long =p )
Axura and EDT seems to cover all the other bases for look & feel etc.

I think you and I are going to get along here
I too would like to be sold on the idea of using a rom built for a "different" phone to run on the vib. It's pretty cool that Eugene got his kernel to become a universal but all the possible bugs that could come with using an i9000 rom just doesn't seem worth it.
Darkys rom is very fast, no offense to TW or EDT but their roms as of yet are not in the same league as Darky's. Don't get me wrong, I've used the latest bionix and it is quite good and TW and EDT have contributed so much to the vibrant community.

Any bugs on darkyy s rom?
Wouldn't the softkeys be messed up using a i9000 rom on our phone?
Want to see more comments before trying those
Darky's ROM now works on our Vibrant perfectly. Just flashed.
If DarkyROM app from the market works for you (Doesn't give you an error when it boots into recovery):
-Select No Kernel
-No Modem
If DarkyROM App from market give you an error on flash, use the following instructions.
What you have to do is:
-Install the Darky ROM from Clockwork as you would any other ROM
-Without restarting Clockwork, install Dead Horse Universal 2.2/2.2.1 kernel from Eugene
-Without restarting Clockwork, install any Vibrant-specific 2.2 modem. I used KA7.
-Have the FIX signal reboot fix file copied somwhere on your phone from Eugene (found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971709)
-Reboot the phone and boot into Darky's ROM (it will take a WHILE to boot)
-Once its booted, quickly activate flight mode so that it doesn't start restarting. Then use Root Explorer/ADB/other method to apply the signal restart fix from Eugene that you copied to your phone 2 steps above.
-Wait 10 minutes after this is done, then restart the phone.
-At this point, you can apply any themes you want from the I9000 section (they will all work and there are a lot).
-Enjoy.

This is great,
But the real thing now is the Vibrant and other Galaxy phones hove been so researched and hacked so much we have the Luxury of having Awesome roms of our choice. I used to be a big Darky fan, but like others have said, Axura, EDT and TW all have gotten so close to the Mark it really is hard to distinguish which is preferable.
I do think once CM7 is Flashable without bugs, it will be the leader.... by how much??? probably not much but that community does awesome work and does provide long term support.
But Yes this is great to have another option.........
@}{Alienz}{
think you need to change that second kernel flash to a modem flash...
great instructions btw, thanks.
Pretty awesome having 2 dev sections to choose ROMs from. Amazing what source code and a little time brings.
Yeah this is awesome!! And we'll be able to flash the vibrant 4g's roms, so we have tuns of choices
I just commented on the Darkyy's rom thread so ask him about the receiving call issue, my phone doesn't ring at all, but it doesn't go straight to voicemail either, so I wonder what the issue is.
Ps: I flashed Darkyy's rom, and now I'm on Jumes rom, and it's awesome!
That's weird.. I receive calls just fine on Darky.
Also... I must say I never trusted everyone saying that 2.2.1 is noticeably faster even without a lagfix but I stand corrected. In the short time I've been running Darky the speed increase is quite obvious.
EDIT: boooo I just noticed GPS doesnt work.. Seems to be working for the i9000 people. Wonder what the deal is. -_-
Hopefully someone figures out why we can't receive calls ob darkys rom

Same thing happened to me. I flashed Simply Galaxy SweetHoney (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950354) and everything is working fine so far.
I am also getting the bug when an incoming call is present. I'll see if I find a fix. If not, what ROM would you recommend that's just as good? Saw the sweethoney. Any other options that may work?
I just flashed Juwe's Smart Edition v1.1. Restoring data right now... If GPS works it'll prolly be a winner.
EDIT: Nope.. no GPS on this ROM either. Is anyone experiencing functional GPS on any of these ROMs?

Ok, after the last tmo/samsung update bricked my vibrant i got my replacement left it stock and let it update. it worked fine. Question is, should I root, incase they send another update i cannot refuse and it bricks my phone again. It's just that the lag fix makes it twice as fast. But i don't like bricked phones.

s15274n said everything I had to say... the both times he posted.
It's easy once you read and understand. And i'm almost certain you could've fixed your last 'bricked' phone if you searched.
I searched. the first was a soft brick sticking at vibrant logo. I fixed it, but I didn't have a stock backup i flashed, it was a "stock rom" i found on here somewhere. But when it bricked the second time it wouldn't power up, no battery on screen when charging, nothing. But, I will give it a go this way and see what happens, I have 2 now, so eh. It's fun, but I am jsut getting into it. like I flashed it with one of the froyo roms, but the sound wouldn't work for nothing, i searched and no one else using that rom had that problem that i could find. So i know there was something i didn't do. I just wanna makesure i can get it back to stock if i need to.
don't forget to check if your phone is hardware locked.

Ok, so I did all that you mentioned seemed to work fine, but this fusion rom doesn't seem like much. now don't flame yet, i am just talkin. but it doesn't look like it changed much other than add launcher pro and as for lag. it's not as slow as stock but with ryans lag fix my quadrant score was 2550 and i'm getting 950 on this. although i have to say the gps snapped to lock. that was great.i really like the froyo rom i flashed before if i could have figured our how come my sound wasn't working and everyone else did not have that issue.

There are a few options available on TeamWhiskey website:
1. Fusion with stock kernel
2. Fusion with JAC kernel
3. Fusion with KK kernel
All of the above do not include any lagfixes, except a manual invocation via ADB for RyanZA's equivalent, a.k.a mount /data on a virtual EXT2 partition.
Optionally you can load Voodoo EXT4 based lagfix on non stock kernel options.
Another project is underway with TW own overclocked kernel and z4mod.
And as far as not much, compare the system resource utilization on stock Vibrant and on Vibrant with Fusion (with stock kernel option) - the guys over at TW have squeezed as much as possible out of TouchWiz to make the phone snappier, and as an added bonus they have removed most of the bloatware for you as well leaving the Media Hub for those who might wanna use it.
12/27 Update - A few minor changes in the initramfs, also updated to JPX source and fixed charge death. A single kernel is provided now that charge death has been fixed. By default, max. clock speed will be 1200MHz. To limit this, use setCPU or xan's app. To set the undervolt use the version of xan's app on my other kernel thread. Either flash the kernel with Odin, or extract the zImage and use Heimdall or Neldar's kernel flashing app.
This is a kernel to give the proper screen orientation, home/back button, and headphone/speaker logic, wired headset support, and backlight notification on the Captivate while using Aery's CyanogenMod 6.1 ROM. Look to the left of your screen, now back to me. See how I don't have a donate button? That's because all of the developers involved with this deserve any donations so much more than I do. I support the kernel hackers who really make our phones awesome, I hope you do too.
Note: The OC/UV kernels will, by default, have a max CPU frequency of 1.2GHz. If you don't want to overclock flash a non oc-uv kernel or install xan's UV app which can limit the max clock to 1GHz (or install setCPU).

12-8 - More fixes. Backlights work, but you have to toggle them on each reboot it seems, ie, use the app to turn them off then on, and then they work. I'll let neldar know about this.

I patched in Xcaliburinhand's wired headset support. What a job by that guy, btw. Mad props to him. Buy the guy a beer would ya?
12-5 - Lots of fixes. Wired and wireless tethering working with JK3. It's late and I don't feel like making flashable zips, so do it yourself or nut up and Odin flash the tars I'm posting. (There were some pre-made zips posted a couple weeks ago, look around if you're that lazy . If upgrading to the nightly, you probably want to install Superuser.
11/29 - Mount fixed, superuser working properly, wifi connection fixed, no adb needed for either. Beta 2 build available in Aery's thread. Added a no OC/UV kernel for people having issues with it.
11//28 - Beta 1 release. Support for both SD cards, Wifi* & GPS fixed. Flashing zImage (kernel) from recovery is now supported.
As of this release, to get wifi working you must do the following: No longer relevant
Code:
adb shell
cp /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
chown -R wifi:wifi /data/wifi
And to fix su (superuser.apk) No longer relevant
Code:
mount -o remount,rw,noatime,nodiratime,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/stl9 /system
11/21 - Kernel updates include support for both SD cards. The headphone out jack is now functional as well with the 1120A build. For the moment WiFi appears to be broken with this kernel, so pick your poison, ie, functional wifi and one SD card or no wifi and both SD cards.
11/16 - Initial Beta0 release reoriented kernel.
Read Aery's instructions on how to install CyanogenMod 6.1 here.. Note/system will be ext4 when you flash this, so the process of going back to other ROMs isn't as easy as it was before, but certainly not impossible, so look at the current issues before flashing. Reverting is pretty easy if you leave the update.zip for rooting on your SD card and Odin One Click back to stock. You might be able to flash a Voodoo 5 kernel, reboot to recovery and go from there, but this HAS NOT BEEN TESTED. After reading Aery's instructions (twice) if you're NOT upgrading a previous CM6.1 release, start by Odin flashing the tar file Aery has posted or flash the cm61-b1-sgs-initkernel.zip I have posted here in Clockwork recovery, reboot into Clockwork recovery, then flash CM6.1-GalaxyS-BETA1.zip, reboot to recovery then flash the most recent kernel above and the Google apps.
This is still very beta. A lot of things aren't perfect. I'm not really a developer, I just made this so I could use CyanogenMod a little bit better on my phone, and I thought I'd share it.
Again, all the credit for the ROM starts with Aery, and coolya, and probably a few others I'm not aware of and ends with Cyanogen. They put a lot of work into this, I'd suggest buying them a beer (I know I did). I also want to give a shout out to xcaliburinhand for posting his code on git and getting these problems fixed in the first place, as well as raspdeep for his excellent OC/UV work, and hardcore for some of the other mods.
I'll be updating this kernel as fixes become available.
What's included:
Hardcore's memory & jhash tweaks
Supercurio's color
Raspdeep's OC/UV
Coming up:
Other nonspecific items that I'll later include for Optimal Placebo Effect
Awesome, going to flash this tomorrow since I need my phone for work in the morning!

This is just the Vibrant-AOSPish rom with captivate parts. This is not my work i just swapped the modem and kernel out on it and removed some of the T-Mobile stuff.
This is just to see how the JK2 would boot on the captivate with a captivate kernel and a modem widely used on the captivate. I know there is not a big demand for froyo roms anymore because of the gingerbread look-alike froyo roms. I take no credit for the initial parts of this rom.
Specs on the captivate version 1:
-changed modem to JK4
-changed kernel to Hardcore's Speedmod K13C
-changed bootanimation and shutdown to that of the stock captivate firmwares
(second and after boots, boots too fast to play whole thing, may try to fix if anyone else
wants to use this version of this rom)
-added stock captivate boot sound
This is the actual Vibrant rom link:

Ya know I was just looking at that tread last night wishing someone that was less lazy than I am would port this to the captivate lol. Downloading now.
yea let me know what you think. this rom would boot on the captivate without any changes but you dont get 100% out of it.
i tried dg's firebird kernel on it but there was a slight flicker in the screen but the i didnt get
this with the hardcore kernel
Perfect SpeedMod is better IMO anyway lol. The bootsound is a little early. It goes off when the ATT 3G bars fly in. Initially this is awesome and just what I wanted thank you lol. I'm stoked to tear this apart lol.
Yea I'm going to work with it some more.its not where I want it yet as far as the captivate goes.
Noooo nowhere close. I've ripped it apart and added some other apks and such and removed a lot of ****. It's very nice though.
Yea ill try to work on it more tonight and repost it. I'm finding things that need changing for our usage.
excited to see the progress on this
Yea there is still more captivation I need to do on this rom
I'm getting a FC when trying to DL anything from the market.
Is there a particular app that is making it fc??? I'm not getting any fc's.
nope it's whenever I try to DL an app it FC's. I'm gonna try swapping out a couple thing and see if it fixes it.

i havent downloaded this, but make sure you have edited the build.prop and the fingerprint
So the FC happens when I start installing an app from the market. It downloads then as soon as it hits Installing it FCs and restarts my home screen and yes i changed my fingerprint.
EDIT: So I tried replacing the Vending.apk with the one from JS5 just hoping it would work lol and it didn't. Quite inconvenient.
Very intrigued to see this have been waiting for an AOSP ROM out there eventually.
Just a question I flash ROMs over each other by just wiping data cache and dalvik cache and disabling cache, this is no different than other ROMs as I could just flash this over a ROM such as Paragon.
I always got the jig and Odin nearby its just really tedious for me to go back to just JH7 haha.

Well it is a ROM based off JK2 which is for the Vibrant. Since you've got the jig though I wouldn't really worry about it. Trial and error lol.

Best Rom for EPIC 4G is RandomRom 2.3.4 | Alpha "Hawk" w/EG22 compiled by RamdomKing
UPDATE*********9/11/2011
Sad to say but do too issues with FC'S, ramdon rom hawk 2.3.4 can't no longer hold this title for me. I have tried different fixes none have worked. So for over 2 weeks now I've been testing [ERA][ROM][EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1 (Updated 9/2) and have not had any FC'S, overall it has been very stable. Occasional reboots do occur but that's a common thing with all gb releases. I hope random can find a way to stabilize the rom. I tried removing gtalk as mentioned but had no success, FC'S were still occurring. O well only 5 days left and the galaxy s2 will be out can't wait. The only down is the fact that it has no keyboard.
Newbie in the posting forum+++
I would like to say that after careful testing Ive come to the conclusion that RandomRom 2.3.4 combined with EG22, is by far the best gingerbread rom for my Epic 4G. I was really excited to see gingerbread roms for the epic 4G, so I tried scrambled eggs but unfortunately it was way to buggy ( Constant Freezes, Hangs etc) and battery life was not up to part. I then cleared the phone and gave RamdomRom a shot and it has proven to be a solid rom. Battery life has been amazing and radios too. GPS is also working really good and quite reliable. I have installed all gmail applications, other stock applications and a few others like the weather toggle, amazon, ebay, plume, pulse, shazam, Facebook and a few games all running great. One of my major concerns was the fact that Im a heavy phone user and allot of other roms would freeze while calls where coming in or at the time of placing a call ( Very frustrating) and that issue so far is non existent.
I must say to anyone interested in this rom to follow the instructions to the T. Watch out from installing unnecessary programs that might take away resources from the system to work at optimum level.
I would like to thank Ramdomking for compiling the best ideas from other great developers into this wonderfull rom. I'm leaving a link to the rom below. Please make sure to follow all instructions carefully and it should all work very smooth, if it doesn't then you may have done it incorrectly or installed a conflicting app. Cheers!

UPDATE*********9/11/2011
Sad to say but do too issues with FC'S, ramdon rom hawk 2.3.4 can't no longer hold this title for me. I have tried different fixes none have worked. So for over 2 weeks now I've been testing [ERA][ROM][EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1 (Updated 9/2) and have not had any FC'S, overall it has been very stable. Occasional reboots do occur but that's a common thing with all gb releases. I hope random can find a way to stabilize the rom. I tried removing gtalk as mentioned but had no success, FC'S were still occurring. O well only 5 days left and the galaxy s2 will be out can't wait. The only down is the fact that it has no keyboard.
before you make that statement check out [ERA] eh06 unnamed v1.1 (updated 8/17). and make sure ur running the eh06 modem, not eg22. it's better and u can run it on either rom
besides acs syndicate i cant think of one that is actually stable... seems like everything else has bugs in a bunch or more

You beat me to it. ERA is the best GB rom to date.. for me at least. Maybe if random switched to EH06 I would try it out again No other gb rom worked properly.on my phone.. I would get random reboots and random fcs. All of the eh06 roms worked well for me and eras works excellent
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
it doesnt support Exchange ? no mail app...
The app is just the client. It certainly does still support exchange. most people prefer other mail apps, such as touchdown, k9, or enhanced email. Just push the email.apk file back in if you want the stock email app back.
can you post link to the stock/default email APK? its not in the provided APK folder, and the 3rd party solutions (e.g. K9) are not passing my companies authentication

running really smooth. i highly suggest you run v6 supercharger 8, 11 after you set it up. but yeah I think they are using the eh06 ext4 kernel.. check out bonsai discussion under general.
OK, i got a head ache of trying to figure this out.....
I put hawk verson 2 on my phone following the instructions that randomking put on his blog here.
This step takes me back to 2.2.1..... is this correct. Is Hawk a froyo or a gb rom?
Pre-Steps:
Option A: Odin the .tar for EC05 deodexed EXT4.
Option B: Use one-click to root nearly any current setup with EXT4.
Option C: Already on an EXT4 setup? You’re good to go, proceed.
Steps:
A clean install is recommended (Wipe 3X).
Ensure that your phone is on CWM 3.1.0.1 (Purple).
Odin a Gingerbread modem such as EE03, EF02, EG22, or EH06.
Flash RandomROM Alpha “Hawk” v.2.
Enjoy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I followed the steps accordingly and I kept getting forced closed messsages and it wouldnt run the email app without closing it as well. Therefore, I feel like this should be running on gingerbread even though the step told me to put eco5 deodexed ext4 on it and that is where my problem was.
So is Hawk a gingerbread rom. I got a head ache and I apparently need some guidance.
If I did indeed do it right, and I am just suffering problems, can someone please recommend a problem free rom and tell me if it runs on froyo or gingerbread?
Well if the rom installed and is running, you did it right. If you're getting fc's in email, you can try clearing the cache/data.
If you want something totally stable, radomking just updated his ec05 rom (phoenix). Flash that and it should be rock solid and still have all his battery-saving tweaks.

As mentioned, it sounds like your install just suffered some issues. Try clearing data and cache and installing again. If problems persist, try redownloading.
Also, try 2.2.1 Phoenix EC05 for a solid experience.
But to answer your question:
Yes Hawk is a Gingerbread rom. Yes the directions recommend flashing a Froyo rom. No it doesn't matter. I've selected that particular .tar due to its repeated clean success with all of my rom testing of froyo or gingerbread. Flashing a rom through cwm will replace everything but the file system and modem. In essence, that pre-step is only to ensure you're on deodexed EXT4.

When I get FC's after an install its usually because of random crap left over from previous ROM. I notice you're new to XDA. Perhaps you don't know what RandomKing meant by wipe 3x.
While in clockworkmod notice that there is an option labeled "wipe data/factory reset" and under that "clear cache partition". Those should be done 3 times each. I usually alternate between them. I don't believe there's anything magical about 3 times. Just want to make sure they're wiped clean so don't be afraid to do it 4 times if you lose count.
I also go to "advanced" and then choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache". May not be necessary but it doesn't hurt.
If you get FC's, go back and wipe 3x again and flash the ROM again. Don't do any of the options A - C if you reflash.
Good Luck!
Yeah i wiped 3x3, so idk. I mean it worked fine for a day or 2. And then i started gettiing fcs. This happened once where it was going beyond email. I was getting fcs to google framework and phone fcs.
Then I wiped it all and tried to start off fresh while being extra careful as to following the steps because I had a better idea what i was doing. Thank you all for the input and an extra thanks to randomking. I think at this point i am going to put phoenix on there and keep my eyes open for more randomroms to get updated/released.
I've been running Hawk v2 since it came out; I have a great experience running this rom. no force closes (usually those come from restoring data, bad idea) I have had a random reboot here or there, but that is on pretty much any leak. I just reboot my phone in once a day and haven't had a reboot since doing that.
I had a similar experiance. I ran it for 2 days and loved it! The Google frameworks issues. Cleared and reflased again had Google frameworks issues. I really wish someone explained what causes that because I loved the way my phone responded with that rom. I would give it another shot if someone suggested a fix.

It supports it, but I tried everything and still couldn't stop the email from "FC"s. Reflashed, uninstalled the apk, reinstalled, etc, etc... The email would FC every time I checked a new message.
Went back to "HAWK" after 2 days of frustration trying to figure it out...
Well I must say that I have also experienced FC issues with google framework. I experienced those issues when replacing batteries and taking the battery out before the phone was completely off. I'm now testing other rooms since a few people said I should of tried a few more rooms before calling hawk the best. So far from all the other roms, The only one I had great success with has been [ERA][ROM][EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1 (Updated 9/2).
You can find this rom below. What I can say about this one so far no FC's, this rom is also solid with battery, overall it has been fairly good.

One thing I have noticed is the fact that I can't receive mms, I only get a link to view on sprint website, anyone has any Idea how to get this to work?
Ok I gave Random Rom Hawk a second try. My first attempt worked great for a day and a half then it was Google frameworks error after error...I flashed the rom again and same thing in a day. Went back to a previous rom just depressed because Hawk while it worked was awesome. So I read and read the development strand and decided to give it another shot. This time I flashed the rom also ran the Ram control thread, then flashed the journaling zip, and uninstalled the gtalk/video app that came with the rom. 4 days everything sweet smooth and great! I am using eh06 modem and great signal and GPS locks instantly. No fc at all!!! Great job!

MONFRO AOSP
This is a pure AOSP rom: it has no extra features so it can be snappy and smooth at maximum level.
Indeed the goal of this rom is to be as fast as possible.
- CM10 partition layout (422mb for data)
- Devil Kernel 1.4.1 VC (new kernels with new CM vsync available as addon)
- Devil Kernel Config included (and a init.d script generated with this program, to have everything set up stable at the beginning. If you set bigmem, before reboot remember to set 480 in videocamera settings, otherwise camera app will crash with bigmem). I suggest to install also NSTools, to have more overclocking and BLN options.
- GAPPS (updated to latest) are included
- I SUGGEST A FULL WIPE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM, because added features from CM10, Helly Bean, AOKP and other roms can conflict with pure AOSP settings and functions

I have to say thank you, because your Lanight rom showed me how fast AOSP roms are, as you can see from my enthusiastic comment of 20.09.2012.
But on Lanight 4.0 there were some glitches, for this reason i decided to work on an AOSP rom. I see that you worked to fix Lanight while i was working here: if i would have seen your new rom build, probably i wouldn't have worked on my AOSP.

Message app is from CM: it works better than AOSP one.
AOSP message let you enter messages only of 160 letters, for this reason i decided to substitute it with CM one.
cant get radio working.....
Wifi and signal are not opening. Looked around but didnt see any other radios available? Am i looking in the wrong place? (in this forum) Other than that the rom looks great, but until I can get my wifi working i cant get a full picture of what this rom will be like... I am going to do some more reading. had this problem before, but flashed a radio and everything was good. Now I cant seem to find one. Call me an idiot if you will, just need some direction on where to go from here. The website i used last time has radios for ics but not JB.
Also shell was not given SU permissions. Bad flash maybe?
Thanks in advance....

This rom uses the same layout as CM10: 422mb on fastest nand for data and the rest (slow nand) for system.
I am sorry you can't try this rom. I have read here and there about people with broken internal SD but i didn't entered in details.
another AOSP rom to test...nice......will test it soon.....

I've been on xda long enough, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. If my WiFi isn't turning on, would changing the modem affect that?
My Captivate has been relegated to my backup device, almost always used on WiFi.
From what I've played with on this rom, I like it a lot. Keep up the great work!
I have had similar issues with other JB AOSP roms with CM10 base. If I understand it correctly, it is due to the datadata partition that is included with this base (data partition table messes up the Kernel or something). To my knowledge there is no work around for this. Some of the AOSP roms here (LANIGHT for example) have a nodatadata version which solves the problem.
Hope this helps!

So the problem comes from the Bluetooth kill function in devil kernel, which kills also wifi.
I suggest to disable devil idle and deep idle and to leave "enable Bluetooth " in devil kernel config app.
