[Q] What will the 2.2 update do... - Captivate General

More specifically, will it remove my apps, delete my non-touchwiz apps, unroot my phone, uninstall my lag fix, etc?
Or will it simply update my phone, and not mess up anything i've done with it so far?
thanks.

What 2.2 update are you talking about?

first result on google...
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html

Flashing a firmware update will remove everything on your phone (except for that on the internal/external SD cards), although you can use programs like Titanium Backup to backup programs and restore them once you've flashed.
Not, of course, that the official 2.2 update is available yet. Anything around here so far is leaked alpha builds. Furthermore (although I don't follow the Captivate forums as much), I believe they are for the international I9000 only, so don't flash anything which isn't specifically for the Captivate - that definitely causes major problems.

Some of you guys need reading comprehension, the OP asked how upgrading to 2.2 will affect the software and hacks they installed on their phone, not a run down of the features list.

Go troll somewhere else.
"What will the 2.2 update do..."
questions open to tons of interpretations.
then he asks some other questions.
He could of also tried a google search or browsing the forum a bit for the hundreds of other threads about firmware updates.

It's not entirely clear at this juncture that you understand what the term "troll" means.
He was fairly specific in the information he was asking for. You whine about him being able to use Google and yet apparently didn't even bother to read the first post.

Good to hear the guide has been updated. I am getting my phone in a few weeks.
In your guide you say that a person may possibly return there phone to stock to get the Samsung updates for the GPS fix and Lag fix. How does one do this? I have not installed any other ROMS. I have only used the Pimp My Captivate Guide.

No. I said that if you use the lag fix or GPS fix you will probably have to use odin to go back to stock or else something will happen when you install the official OTA update.

The best bet would be to run Odin. I don't really know how to do that but thats the only 100% way to undo mods.
I'm confused???
Maybe I'm missing the point but don't you already have a sticky about this in the same forum? Do you want this as a replacement to other one?

Awesome job putting this together. I will definitely reference it (and donate) when I get my unit in.
One thing though, it appears that your link under the "how to root" section doesn't work. It tries redirecting but never resolves. You might want to check that out. It wouldn't pull up in FF, IE, or Chrome

ok sure. I will replace it later today. Also I may add some battery and performance optimization tips. The unlocking guide also needs to be updated with my new Mac unlock tool and the newer version of the PC one. Is there any guide that you would like me to specifically add?
I appreciate what you did with the previous guide. It helped me quite a bit in getting started with learning the ins and outs of the Android system and my Captivate.
I tried to install the super circle battery mod a few nights ago, and I made a terribly n00bish mistake in using the wrong build (not style) version for my phone, blanking the screen and making it unuseable. This necessitated a hunt on how to return the setting to stock, so this mandated a hunt for how to use Odin. And, of course, the forums were in maintenance mode when I was ROM hunting, making a stressful situation even more fun But it's back on, SuperRootered, and lag-fixed, and running better than ever before.
The wiki was a great idea, but the wiki was a pain to navigate...it was often just easier to search the forums. I'm probably going to blog on using Odin for flashing in the near future (if nothing else than for my own reference), but it'd be nice for some sort of introductory article on Nandroid and Titanium and how to use them as well. It'd be easier for me if the SDK would ever install on my machine, but I'll have to take time and dedicate a day to setting all this stuff up.
Pdf is fine, but there is no reason all the information can't be listed in the original post. thanks for the work though, the wiki helped me out when I got the phone.
I think it is a mistake to include sideload wonder machine as the only pc option for simplicity reasons, especially since you go into command line with the circle battery

Market issues HAVE NOTHING TO DO themes!!!

On every theme thread people keep reporting that the theme is causing the problem, they're NOT!!! The Market has had issues since 1.6, and they continue with 2.1, and the Market issues aren't just related to the X10.
Go to start a new thread and type "market issue", and you will see that other brands and handsets suffer from the problem too.
I know I haven't modded the Market app, and know that others haven't too, had we of done there might be something to suggest it's the theme, but we haven't and it isn't!!
Just uninstall the market update from "manage applications" and all should be well
Never said it was your fault mate. But it is something that is easily replicated for me. I only use your theme so do not have a comparison.
I am NOT complaining, I choose to do these things to my phone and I am aware of the risks.
The market seems to be getting worse rather than better, really wish they would pull their finger out and sort it.
I have no problems clearing market cache etc.....
Something about the process of applying themes certainly does seem to upset the market though, but like I said, I do not hold you responsible my friend.

Definitely not a theme thing. I've seen this happen with a fresh firmware install.
It has something to do with the Market update, and as others have said simply uninstalling the market update fixes the problem every time.

They are aware of the problem for a longer time, but instead of making it better they just keep sliding downhill...it seems to be complicated. There were several times devs couldn't add their apps because of maintenance, so they are trying to solve it.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
I know this has nothing to do with themes, because since I upgraded to 2.1 it happens to me almost once every other day. I just uninstall updates and it goes back to normal. It is obviously a Google issue.
If you guys have titanium backup pro, try using the its new feature of applying the market update directly into the rom (system/app). This seems to have increased stability for me. If you don't have the pro version, you can still move it via root explorer or adb.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I installed the theme step by step. but seriously the mearket stop working. it forces closing. it downloads as usual, but the problem is when it install, force closing.
can not install.
but i really like the theme. looks so mmwaaaaa !
i just repaired my phone.
is there a way to stop that stupid market updater?
it messes up my eternity theme, and disables appbrain FWInstaller :'(
Reedz, it isn't the theme mate. I believe it's simply the act of messing with those files that upsets market. I can often get the same result messing with other files. It is simply 'twitchy'.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Guys i got the way to solve this, you need to navigate to settings/applications/manage applications/market/ then in market uninstall updates.
go back to market and start downloading as usual.
hope it helps.
these things happen often , if one is decided to mod and go against the shipped ROM , then we have to anticipate such things ...
anyway as Reedz posted , the solution simply worked... XperiaX10user , keep up the good work , whatever ,and however much we work , Sh!t just happens out of nowhere ... , anyway i am ur fan man... waiting for ur next release , hoping that you get on to more color and rich combo of colors...

Yep. I did that and was able to download as usual. The next time I opened the market after that it was the updated market again though so there doesn't seem to be a way to suppress it completely. However, after the market upgraded itself the second time (after the uninstall updates step) the new market worked perfectly fine with my modified theme. No issues.

Noob question sorry, is nexus s plain android or is there bloatware installed?

About to buy one and I just wanna know
Sent from my DROID2 using Tapatalk
Pure vanilla Android.
There's a bunch of stuff preinstalled on it, but it's all Google stuff; I don't think there's any third-party apps.
It's not plain android, there's a bunch of Google bloatware.

I'm curious as to what you consider Google bloatware, because the Nexus S is about as plain as you can get. Most of the time bloatware is stuff added by OEMs, such as the preinstalled demo games on the MT4G. Mind elaborating?
I can't speak for JC, but in my mind, anything that comes preinstalled on a device which I neither want nor need is bloatware. This, of course, makes the entire concept subjective, but in general with things like Android, I think less is more, since you can download nearly all of these things from the Market anyway. The consumer-side justification of "bloatware" (revenue for the provider, of course, being the primary, producer-side justification) is to present the user with access to a service they might otherwise not know to look for. ("Oh, hey, my phone can play TV/can display YouTube/has internet radio/whatever!"). For most of us though, particularly anyone savvy enough to be on XDA in the first place, most of it ends up falling into one of three categories:
-Don't care about
-Use a different app for
-Would have downloaded if it wasn't included.
In any case, I've observed that what most people have the biggest issue with isn't that stuff may come preinstalled on their phone, it's that you can't get rid of it, and if you do, you may well open yourself to a world of trouble should you ever wish to install an OTA update.
I would consider it plain android, as the "bloatware" on it is really only google apps, which come with all android phones. It doesn't have bloatware from a third party though like some of the other android phones. Either way, bloatware can be removed off any rooted phone with titanium backup

Fair enough points.
Unfortunately, we still run into that last issue even on the Nexus S. Folks were unable to update via the stock 2.3.1 OTA if they had modified system files, such replacing the stock Mms.apk or Gmail.apk with the black/custom ones from the Themes & Apps section or deleting any of their relevant .odexs. Even placing the missing files back on the system partition didn't seem to work, at least for me. It was a very curious update.

I don't think Google has an office app for Android. Every device has launched with some kind of partnered 3rd party, either ThinkFree, or Quickoffice. At least, I think those are the two they've used.
If they didn't, you wouldn't be able to read any kind of text document on your phone and that's just kind of a silly thing to not be able to do, imo.
EDIT: And on that note, Google should probably make a office app! lol
Who really cares whats installed or not, EVERYTHING can be uninstalled.
after using ThinkFREE for a while on the Galaxy S, i can say it's really good
way better than the Docs To Go and/or QuickOffice which i'm using on the XT720
but truth is... you don't need any of those with Google Office online, it's so much easier to keep things and work with documents using Google Office Online

you can do it yourself.
download a firmware (e.g. the one you use), extract the factoryfs.rfs and open it with MagicISO (simply go to file, open, select the factoryfs.rfs file and hit open), there you can select the apps from system/app
I have a UK tab which came pre-installed with NOVA HD. Since changing the firmware/updating the tab (following a few of the threads on here) I lost a few of the pre-installed apps. I got most of everything back worth anything (and a lot of the Samsung apps were just links to various websites) but I lost NOVA HD. I'm loathe to pay for it and wanted to know if there is any way to get it back? Was tempted to bluetooth the APK from a demo machine. Any suggestions or is it gonna cost me £3?
Thanks

I couldn't find any other info on it - But being that the post was just made this morning, I'm still excited...
saw this too, but the page it linked to (which is pulled now btw) was actually a direct copy/paste of the 2.2 update for the Vibrant when I saw it last night. The cached version here still has all the tmobile references.

o This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.

LOL, FIND ALL "T-Mobile" REPLACE WITH "AT&T" it's that easy.... or one would think....
I checked Kies Mini and nothing. Blah!
Ehh ...
The probability of Samsung/AT&T releasing something better than what you can find here at XDA is extremely low. The devs here at XDA are probably more familiar with the phone than Samsung or AT&T anyway, as they have actually been working with it these past few months.
I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't an XDA branded phone by now.
