They are more then welcome to chime in their version as well!
Is this going to be any different than flashing the normal way?

Yes, it will have a prerequisite of anything with voodoo enabled. From there you just flash a zip and boot.
Its not a perfect 1zip install from anything, yet...

will do, edited post #2 after booting i got 3g lock almost right away! nice to see telus APN in the list
EXTREMELY EXCITED.
Have been waiting for this!
So all I need to do please correct me if Im wrong is flash any other ROM such as Perecption or Cognition ect. Or just install the latest Voodoo Lag Fix. Then just flash this also on top of that through Clockwork?
Thanks and PLEASE correct me if im wrong here.

Personally if i were you i would wait for a more stable release, theres has been vast improvements in the kernel up till now but its still not ready for day to day use for everyone, plus if your unsure how to install it then you probably shouldn't ! But if you must , the method i used was flashed back to stock, gsm reset (code=*2767*3855#) which wipes all your memory, then flash darkys rom v7 and enable voodoo after phone boots and reboot it, then flash the gb kernel through clockwork recovery.... also i had to reboot the phone after installing the kernel to get 3g working...good luck

Consumers of ROMS sometimes forget that devs have family too.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to you and your family. Wish the same to all the devs.
Cheers!!
Thanks DG! Happy Holidays to everyone. Cant wait for more stable version too.
woot woot. finally a method i could do!! this does leave me some questions though.
is it possible to just flash to stock 2.2 (instead of a custom rom), install voodoo5, and than install the zip through rom manager?
http://project-voodoo.org/download
the voodoo stable 5.0, is that for the captivate? just making sure, dont want to download something thats for the i9000.
and lastly! if anything goes wrong, flashing one click odin will solve everything correct? all the changes (aka the eff ups) i made should return to stock settings?
sooo excited!!
edit. to eleborate on my voodoo worries.
will reflashing with odin to stock, change my kernal back to the stock one or will it keep voodoo? just wondering because i was wondering if its required that i disable (or uninstall) voodoo before i use odin to restore or could i just use odin after testing the rom out without any disabling/enabling.
edit 2:
shoot forgot to ask, what are the usb files for? im gut tells me their the files needed for the comp to recognize the captivate after flashing. and second, does this require a root? and this is the LOL question, could i just rename the 2.3 file a "update.zip" and install it like that or do i have to do the whole clockwork thing. Six question. geez im dumb.
Merry Xmas!
Hey everyone! Guess what? HONEYCOMB ROM FOR MILESTONE!!!
It's kinda basic right now, but it WORKS!!!
To use it you just need the Open Recovery for Milestone (and root).
Then just wipe and flash like any old zip!
(Post if any problems like bootloops)
---I Take no responsibility if you brick, explode, incinerate your phone, or if you destroy the world. Good luck!---
(Oh and anyone with the right privelges, please move this to the right section, thanx!)

Judging by the OP's short post history, my guess is that it's a theme on top of an existing ROM and probably has nothing to do with real honeybits.

Chainsdd is a busy person, and the su issues don't affect everyone. I haven't had a problem with it since 3.0.2. You should be happy that he even works on this at all instead of acting like an ungrateful twit.

Exactly, don't flame a developer for creating an awesome application that contains 1 bug in an update.
I also had the bug, I updated to 3.0.1, but the update failed, and I lost my root access. But c'mon, just download the su-update zip file, flash it, reboot and you're done.
As the developer said, it's impossible to test about 700 devices every single update. SuperUser is the most important application for rooted users if you think about it, don't flame the developer for making 1 fault.
thanks for the fix, glad to get rid of the SU binary outdated msg.
Would love a script zip that when flashed would simply uninstall all unessential bloatware from the device....speeding it up significantly.
Could this please be provided?
It'd be a nice stepping stone mod as we wait on CM!
Thanks
you would need to have root first.
but it's not going to be too hard a script to do..
will have a look later on if no-one else does it for you.
Quickest way is to root your phone, like fards said & use Titanium Backup to freeze or delete the bloatware you don't want.
I am rooted... And do have Titanium....problem is I know the obvious bloatware files....but there's a ton of others that I'm just not that sure about!
Plus you have to keep repeating it if you flash anything.
On the first Evo someone put this out right after it came out and it was a. Huge difference and convenient.
After a while wasn't really needed of course with all the rooms etc.

Just got to wait until devs start making ROMs for the Note & removing samsung bloatware, until then, you are just going to have to do it manually.
give me a chance to actually see my Note, never mind root and and have a play first and I'll work out what can be removed.
then I'll do a script.
Awesome Fards!

adb uninstall in a .cmd file should do what you need - I'll supply my old N1 flash script when I boot up the old laptop...
Is that possible to list the unnecessary apps on the GNote first so that people can delete them by themselves?

Hey guys just wanted to share this with you. I am working with Team Win to get a touch recovery on the A500. So far is still inop, but progress is bring made. We are gonna give another go tomorrow so wish us luck. Will keep you all posted.
Updates
1-5-12: So we are finding the using the tablet interface makes the recovery too large for our recovery partition. Team Win is probably going to have to build the recovery without an interface and then I will create a flashable zip that will flash the recovery as well as place a ui.zip on the external sdcard under twrp/theme(we can then just replace that ui.zip for different themes that come out, got a cool ICS one in mind already). The battery precentage is working but we are still working on the touch screen. New test build coming today and will have active logging enabled so that we can see more of what is happening, if touch is being recongnized but TWRP 2.0 is just not reacting to it. It's coming along though.
1-6-12: SO we got TWRP 2.0 up and running for the most part. Touch screen works and most all functions work. Get backup failures and is not sized properly but we are really, really close. Did install a rom and booted just fine. Release will be real soon, possible monday. Still have to get the resolution figured out as well, but what we have so far is very usable.
2-17.. So work on this has slowed way down due to dev on teamwin side has other projects that he is working on that is more important to him(which there is no problem with that, would just like to get this project completely going). But TWRP 2.0 has gone completely opensource. So just wondering if we can tackle this and get it up and running. We are on #twrp on freenode irc usually everyday M-F around 11am-1pm Mountain Time. If you are able and willing to help, please come and give us some fresh ideas.
3-8. Everything is working and is ready for release very soon. Some final testing and will be release. Data/media fixed and flexrom fixed. PLEASE HOLD!!
3-13. New features being added. We will have the ability to toggle back and forth between internal and external for backup location. Doing some code clean up and making sure all features are working properly. Have used it to install many roms/flashes and have yet to have any issues. It's coming along nicely. Huge thanks to Dees_Troy on TeamWin for his work on this. You da man!
I run TWRP 2.0 on my Evo 3D. Would love to see it on my A500. So much better then all the button presses to navigate through the recovery menu.
I would love to see TWRP 2.0 on the A500. I have it on my Sensation and think it is some of the absolute best development to come out of the Android development community recently. Best of luck guys.
Muahahaha. Can't wait!!!

Updated OP with some status update.
I used a steam recovry on my captivate that was full touch and really liked it. I dont remember any sort of oddities to get it running. Maybe talk to one of them and see how they got theirs set up.
if i can make one request i sed it on my phone and it was awesome. One thing the when selecting ROMS the font is small and often hard to hit the right one
IIRC you need to have the "itsmagic" script run at boot. When I came to the A500 scene it was already figured out so I'm not 100% sure on what it was or what exactly it does but I would recommend looking in to it. I'm sure some more senior A500 developers could help with its purpose.
Sooooooo close!
Updated OP, she is almost ready!
That is looking sweet, I like that 2nd gui alot better than the first one. A lot cleaner. rstuckmaier brought up an important point, are you including the "Its Magic" script in the recovery. I thought that was needed to fix the checksum values.
I don't see where any of the new recoveries do anything with "itsmagic" during the install process. The new GPL complient does nothing with itsmagic. Nor do thors.
Here are some screens of the boot up screen and a ICS theme.

"itsmagic" is needed to recalculate the ROM checksum for the encrypted bootloader, which is verified every time you boot. Either you need to execute it (and Thors DOES do that, just read the install instructions for his 1.6 V2 recovery), or you need to incorporate its code into your recovery.
If you flash a new rom without recalculating the checksum afterwards, the checksum verification will fail and you won't be able to boot, essentially bricking the device.

If you manually install thors kernels then yes you do use itsmagic. But his flash script does not use it nor is it included in the flash zip either. I ensure you it will be tested thoroughly before its release. I have flashed virtuous galaxy with it and it booted fine.
