I Fixed it
A few small things:
Intel should be intel.
Under CPU Optimization:
"Samsung’s CPU is set by default the run at 1gHz."
The should be to.
Sideloading:
"(don’t forget that after you install it from the market you still have to go to your app drawer and run busybox once so it installs)."
Should this be after you download it from the market?
ClockworkMod Recovery:
"ClockworkMod written for us by a developer that goes by the name of Koush"
Missing is.
"This gent puts a ton of work into helping us captivate owners out"
Replace puts with put and Capitalize Captivate.
Changing Your Messaging Ringtone:
"well the ones that matter anyway.."
Extra period.
Other than that, excellent guide. I'll definitely be using it when my Captivate arrives.

Thanks! I fixed all those errors but I'm not gonna upload the new version just yet because I will keep finding more errors so it just seems wasteful. I did not actually write most of the guide myself I just formatted it so there may be some mistakes I didn't pick up on.
i used this guide today and it delivered.

Hi,
Thanks for publishing this. It looks very useful, similar to Energy ROM.. But I am very new to Android phones (trying this on Samsung Captivate from AT&T, bought yesterday). I am running windows 7 ultimate 64bit and I exactly followed this guide. But somehow I am still not able to see the sd card. I tried placing the update.zip at Computer\SGH-I897\Phone and shut down the phone and tried restarting the phone by holding the up/down keys as well as power button. But after selecting reinstall packages it said could not find /sdcard/update.zip.. Pls held. Again very sorry if I did some mistake..

The SD card is simply the root directory of your phone. You do not need to open a folder, it is the highest folder you can place it in. Hope that helps
Somehow it was not able to find the sdcard root. Then I realized that you mentioned something called as Droid Explorer, I searched for it and installed it on my PC. But when I opened Droid Explorer, my device was not recognized, then I clicked on link on the explorer window, upon watching that video I enabled the USB Debugging, then I was able to see my device, then I selected connect to my device. After that I saw an explorer but it had empty root and I was not able to copy anything. There was a menu button at the top row named "Transfer to device or Copy to device" I selected that and selected update.zip file and tried to transfer. Something happened but still explorer was empty. Then from my phone Top slide down menu I selected mount USB storage and I started seeing windows explorer on my PC. Then apart from other folders I could see a folder sd in the root. Then I again put update.zip in the root.
Then followed the restart sequence, this time it found the file but exited after Signal 7. It was trying to asert something but could not find the correct model number I guess. My cell phone's model number is Samsung i897.
Please help

I did not write the PC instructions, so I can not help you (I only have a Mac). But the person who did can probably help you his username is systoxity.
Because not enough errors were found to make it worthwhile to update the PDF i will wait till tomorrow to fix the minor errors.
Good source of information
Thank you for putting this together. I am going to sticky this for the time being.
For installing the latest version of busy box, you should include that before the instructions for running titanium backup...the latest version of busybox installed from the market will work with titanium backup so theres no need to have to click the "problems" button...this way you wont have to do the busybox download step twice...should also save a few megs since titanium backup wont have its own copy of busybox installed BTW nice guide
You can also just mount the phone memory using windows explorer and move the file over. I was never able to get droid explorer to transfer the file. It always said it went but then was never there.
Anyway all I did was connected just as I was going to connect to kies but then when windows asked me what I wanted to do I clicked on open file view and dropped updated.zip on my phone.
Only issue that I had with rooting was I accidentally opened the file in windows(winrar). After I moved the file over it found it and attempted to install it but then exited with an error(do not remember exact error), but had to do with mounting. Anyway I re-downloaded file and saw file size was different. After I moved the file over again everything went great. I still haven't removed bloat-ware and such but thats next on the agenda.
Also I was on windows 7 64 bit, saw some other users in other threads saying they had issues connecting the phone. Everything so far has worked great for me
Thank you very much for this handy pdf file!
Somelinks aren't working
First of all I have to say very good guide for noobs!
1. when I downloaded the update.zip folder I didn't work I guess because the name of Samsung captivate is not in the folder or something. So I just downloaded the other file from the forums.
2. Link to CPU optimization doesn't work.
3. I downloaded the droid explorer. It connected to my phone but I was unable to transfer anything. So I just tapped on the USB connected in the notification bar and mounted the phone. This allowed me to use windows explorer to transfer files. I believe one can transfer files by selecting the option of Samsung Kies under USB settings.
I got all your feedback. It will all be corrected by tomorrow night.
Cool guide however the rumor is the GPS only gets turned on when pulling up an App that uses it, so that step in the "battery saving" section might not be necessary.
Also you may want to replace Market Enabler with Market Access. It's a rehash of Market Enabler but also has a Set on Boot option that keeps it persistent versus being reset each time.
You also Might want to add a Tips/Tricks Section..
Here You can put some cool tips like the one i found out about backlight control.

First let me say thanks to all of you, I purchased my wife what was out of the box a useless machine. Then before I had an sd card out of desperation I used the tnt lite and flashed off onboard storage. all went fine.
Today I see there has been a few updates so I installed a microsd (16gb ) and attempted to do it correctly using the CW mod install guide. I mounted the card and used Es FE to extract the cwmod to root /sdcard folder then I powered down and did the volume +/power. I seen the prompts it looked like it went through. then i booted back into os and used esfe to delete them out of root booted down and it shows the prompts then a yellow exclamation and just goes back into OS no matter what I have tried. I tried several times.
I dont want to mod the unit anymore without the recommended recovery methods could someone guide me a bit why I cant get cwmod to load?
thanks
bump for attention
if you are using the internal sdcard.....SDCARD:
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/recovery/command
"command" must have this line in it
--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip
OR external sdcard.......SDCARD2
/sdcard2/update.zip
/sdcard2/recovery/command
"command" must have this line in it
--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip
CHECK THE COMMAND FILE. If you are booting with Power/Vol+ and its not going to the clockwork menu then clockwork is not installed. Installing any Viewsonic updates will erase cwm recovery
This'll make it do the recovery

I had the same scenario and it was due to the editor I was uing to make the recover/command file. Just delete what is in the recover/command folder, and unzip the file in the following link, and copy the file in the command folder to the SD. It WILL work with the next effort of install with the vol+ and power button function (sys recovery?) I got it to work, thanks to Robeet's Explanation....
The File is what I extracted from the original plain vanilla file that Robeet had referenced to on this forum. I only took the recovery/command part of the package.
Here is the link:

Good Luck!
So got my g tablet for christmas and as you have known i've been following this forum for a few weeks getting myself ready for this tablet it updated to the newest UI and now i cant seem to get clockwork installed on it, I tried even rooting it first with the z4root and still having issues with loading clockwork on it, i downloaded version that was recommended in the forum 8 and than extracted the files to the root of the sd card and now when i power it down and back up and press the power and the volume up button it goes to the typical box with the arrow in it coming out and than just boots up never loads up clockwork on the device.
the other issue im having is getting the market going the market fix is supposed to be to stop the market from running and the google services but when i go to settings and applications theres no manage application section in the new update to 3889 or whatever the version is, right now im running launcher pro so i got the vanilla android look just need the market working and to get the tnt lite or the vegan installed on it and obviously cant without clockwork, i've tried searching today and remember all the threads i've read before and for some reason i still cant seem to figure out what the issue is. i thought it would be as easy as rooting my droid but i guess i was wrong.
thanks for any advice you can offer up, other than not getting what i want to load on it so far its pretty damn good other than missing the market other than this gmarket that comes with it and not having a custom rom running yet.
Choice 1
Unzip cmod_v08.zip which can be found here (with instructions)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
place unzipped files on root of sdcard2
should look like this
/sdcard2/update.zip
/sdcard2/recovery/command
Reboot GTab and press Power/Vol +
Choice 2
Place update.zip and recovery folder on root of internal sdcard
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/recovery/command
open "command" file with any text editor and change "SDCARD2" TO "SDCARD"
Reboot Gtab pressing Power / Vol+

Thanks ill give that a try now, appreciate the help, once i have the clockwork mod installed and load up a rom than would i be able to see and do the market fix?
Check this link for adding to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885940
or juct check the Vegan thread or tnt lite thread
To get clockwork working I put it my micro SD card. There's a thread in the dev section for installing clockwork, and an old version of tnt lite. I followed those and they worked perfectly.
If you are still having problems getting CWM to install, in your menu, security, do a factory reset then try reinstalling CWM. I have had to do this when I can't get it to install, then for some reason it installs like it should.
Thanks guys for all your help i did finally get it loaded late xmas night very happy using the vegan rom. will give tnt lite a shot maybe in a few weeks. but so far loving my tablet def appreciate all the work you guys have put into these roms to make our tablet the best it can be
SOrry Guys Forgot 2 mention earlier. I moved To Xperia Mini Pro, So any1 else can take over and help PPL here taking hell outta there explorer
How to:
1. Download the files - "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" , "BCM4330.KO" "superuser" from Below link,
"Superuser.zip" - http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html
"Bcm4330.ko" - http://www.4shared.com/file/GbW0ZtaT/bcm4330.html
"HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" - http://www.4shared.com/zip/920-kXYc/HTC_Pico_RecoveryBoot_with_ext.html
2. Extract "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" somewhere. say: desktop or some drive, copy "BCM4330.ko" onto ur adb "Tools" folder. Copy superuser.zip to ur Sdcard.
3. connect ur "Htc explorer(Pico) via USB" and open "recovery.bat from the folder u just extracted.
4. Wait relax, and watch ur device getting new underGarments. now as the time pass the "command Prompt" which just opened after opening "recovery.bat'' will show "adb reboot recovery" as the device boots to recovery, u will given new menu with blue fonts.
5. Now in recovery go to "Mount & Storage" and select "mount /system" with device connect via USB
6. I presume u have adb already setup on ur pc/laptop. Open "CMD" and type.
HTML:
adb shell mv -f /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.bak
adb push /full/path/to/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko
7. Now, select "unmount /system" from recovery menu (from where u earlier mounted /system)
8. select "goback" from below. now go to "install zip from SDcard. and and slect first open (which says choose zip from sdcard, or somthing like this). find the "superuser.zip" which u copied to ur sdcard and flash by selecting it.
9. Now if flashing goes smooth and it says "install zip from sd complete" then reboot ur device and enjoy.
For getting more space on ur device, download "link2sd"
For link2sd to work, i have attached tutorial for this (which i found by googleing) in Jpeg format (picture)
after getting link2sd to work , u can link the apps to sdcard and save more on device.
there is another option for getting more space on device.
Just download "terminal emulator" from market. pls note: u need to be rooted for this.
and give su permission to the app when prompted.
just enter
HTML:
su
pm setInstallLocation 2
now u will be taken to the next line and thats all
all ur apps will be installed to sdcard automatically. please note: when installing widgets, pls move them back to ur phone memory as they dont work on sdcard
Suggestion: You can pm me if you have some confusions or facing some problems rather than going some where else. I am always happy to help and there for the android community

Hey jitin02,
Thanks a lot for the post... But here are some changes I had to do to root my phone.
a. To install recovery:
The bat file kept waiting for the device infinitely. I just manually ran the two fastboot commands and the reboot command to setup recovery.
b. Copying superuser files:
Your method of extracting the zip file and then pushing them over to the /system directory will surely not work on windows systems, especially FAT32 file system computer, su file will not have executable rights when its copied into the dir.
right way is
copy superuser.zip to sdcard
boot into recovery
choose install from a zip option and point to that zip
Thanks for the post!
WIFI error and solution!!
rooted the phone manually with .cmd and then installed .zip from sd card.
when rebooting no wifi connection (error) and then formated using recovery but it didnt reboot (supose i have no rom installed now =$) how can i install another one, is there any for explorer?
any compatible rom would be fine for the time being.. =S
EDIT: found a ROM at last from a chineese site, (Eng and chinese languaje) the first one out there!!

Unfortunately I bricked mine too. Oddly everything was fine for a while. Until it starting giving a wi-fi error and after that I tried to fix it with a reset and after doesn't go any further than the HTC logo. Any thoughts in how to bypass this other than flashing a new rom? I kinda liked my stock and didn't backup.

sent ROM in PM
install it through recovery after wiping all cache and memory (recovery option)
everything works perfect, you have to install android market separatelly and reboot for it to work (at least me). Full reboot (untick the fast reboot from settings)
I am preparing a custom rom with preinstalled apps and without the chinese ones, i will be posting it soon.
I have a good news for HTC Explorer users'. My friend, he rooted it successfully. I'll post a translator tutorials about it for u all soon.

The custom rom is ok so far... still I am kind of a noob. Or feel like one. Is there a way to install other languages to that rom, specially the systemlanguage? and how to customize the rom?
Sorry for asking dump questions
Just figred, after I installed Market, and try to install an app, crashes. telling me the process has endet unexpected. :-(
Should have stayed with my original... anyone has a backup of an original rom?

I didn't find any ROM but that one, managed to make android market work by rebooting the phone (full reboot, untick the fast reboot option)
dont know how to add new languaje (if possible)
to modify ROMs just eliminate the .apk you want from system/app inside the zip and add any you want, I just modified mine and added like 15 different apps (file explorer, Copilot, android market, music player, adobe flash...) and doesn't use any memory (just available ROM) you have around 50mb free . once you install it look for available memory left with programs like APPS2ROM (it doesn't work in our HTC but helps me see ROM memory left).
i am going to try now to add an app to ROM memory by just creating a .zip file with /system/app folders and the .APK in it, let see if it works
Yes I figured now, you have to reboot the phone. Works fine now. Already made a clean backup.
Ive seen a file which has many apps listed and SHA1 keys in it. hats why I am asking for howto cook your own rom. Let me know if it worked. Would be great if I could add and remove some stuff

I am afraid it doesn´t, ("Installation aborted" message in Recovery). I will look for a diferent way to do it, not as simple as making a .zip file with "system/app/**.apk"
You can still uninstall them from rom memory using apps like "rom uninstaller" in andoid market
EDIT: found a way around it , just add the .apk inside "/system/app" in the "superuser.zip" found in the first post
http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html
you already have this app in your phone so there is no problem in reinstalling it everytime you like on top of it (it even is the "pro version" of superuser, not the one on the custom ROM)
everything perfect
just note that no ALL of the apps work perfectly in the ROM memory, some crashed when opening them and had to uninstall them using "rom uninstaller" and install them manually
(I found just 2 small ones)
Yes while experimenting I found rom uninstaller too. and I managed to get rid of Sense 3.5 and some other stuff.
I installed GO Launcher EX instead and it runs alo better and faster than Sense.
Even this is my first Droid, I love it. I will make some Screenshots of it as soon I am dne with work.
I thank XDA and all users for the great work. Now I need to figure out if there is a way to install more languages.
For all PMing me... Scroll up to find the ROM

The funny thing is that it only affects the stock rom installed, I flashed the "superuser" after the custom rom and wifi works perfectly

I guess the problem is with recovery.img that we flashed, if there is someone who has not touched it yet, can you take a backup of it?
Heya. Trying to install CMW and it just isn't happening. First I tried the Rom Manager method, which failed. On reboot, I'd get the default menu, and if I try to use reinstall, it aborts installation. Upon reading more threads, everyone says to stay away from RM and just do it manually. So I go over to the CMW thread, and follow the instructions completely. And I just can't overwrite the "recovery" file no matter what I try.
First I tried the file manager in Super Manager, since I already had it and it was mentioned in another tutorial. It didn't give me any errors, but apparently it failed. File date didn't change and still can't boot CWM. Next, I tried Android Commander, via CMW thread's recommendation. It too, is unable to overwrite it. The programs console readout says it failed to copy the file, then the program spits out a memory access violation. I tried running AC as administrator and without. I tried click n drag or using the buttons to initiate the push. I tried enabling writing on the recovery file. No dice.
Yes, my phone is rooted. I even rooted it again just to make sure via SuperOneClick. AC says it has root access too. Sidekick 4g with everything stock. Android Commander was ran on a Win7 Ultimate 64 bit machine.
What should I try next?
Edit: In the meantime, downloading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1593065 , gonna see if it helps.
Edit2: Nvm, figured it out. Had to use Super Manager and turn on Root mode, and had to reboot several times to get Root mode to turn on *facepalm*. Running GenericGinger now and all is well.

Yep. Super Manager has a whole bunch of useful tools, including a file manager with root access. And it's free.
And GG 3.7 is awesome.
