[Q] Finally got a Captivate, what should I do next?! - Captivate General

Just got a brand new Captivate and not sure where to start on "cleaning" and "unrooting" it.
What are the steps to follow? Should I unroot first, then Clockwork recovery mod etc... There are zip packages that will unroot, remove bloatware etc...
Kinda confused, because I'd like to remove all AT&T crapware, and be able to flash to Froyo when it is available (or a custom ROM), but also like to keep things in a state where I can flash back to stock for resale.
Thank you in advance to whoever replies.

just read the "pimp my captivate" thread it'll explain everything you need to do!
congrats on the purchase!

Follow the "pimp my captivate guide" but when you get to the step where you have to root, just flash the "Unleash the beast tool"

Follow the link for instruction in OP on sideloading.
So you basically skip rooting, remove bloat apps, and sideloading with that flash.

It is not that hard after reading a bit.
First root the phone then use the Unleashed the beast or the SuperRooter one to get most tweaks done. The SuperRooter has the option to apply the lag fix..he is using ext4.
On mine I did not use that one so I just ran the SuperRooter.
Then I applied the ext 2.3 lag fix and finall then basically downloaded Odin3 (the program not the one click download version) and put the phone into download mode to apply the Overclock.
Brief summary but if you want to do all that feel free to contact me for help.
I am an Android noob and I know its hard to start with lots of confusing things so I am willing to help get through that rough part of the trip

Thank you everyone. I'll do what Bowsa posted and take that route. What is the purpose of Odin3?
Oh and while I am at it, I want to OC it as well.

First things first: flash the latest firmware from Samsung. Look at the JH2 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751518
Next, you'll want to do "Unleash the Beast" to get rid of all the crap, root, and enable sideloading.
Last, slap on a lag fix: EXT2/3/4.
Then your phone is flying.

Do not flash the latest firmware, it removes tethering and some other features

When and if i decide to root....i'm so confused with all the options do to so,lol.

[ROM] SupererSonic v2.0 - Updated 6/16 - Apps2SD!

Note: Please look at changelog at bottom of post. I also posted a known bug list for this version at the bottom. Please read this.
Name: SupererSonic
Description:
Well my first Evo rom is done. It’s nothing special but it has some things none of the other roms out right now have. Basically the idea is that this is a completely working rom with no issues that I have seen (please comment if this is not the case) with some added features. One thing to also note is that I also created update zip files for the removed apps so if I removed something that you want you can easily just download the update and flash it.
Installation Instructions:
Download superersonic-signed.zip at the bottom of these instructions and copy it to the root of your sd card
Boot into recovery. Currently this is only possible by using the evo-recovery scripts created by Toast. If you don’t know what I’m talking about check out my rooting post
Perform a nandroid backup of your device
Perform a full wipe of your device (absolutely necessary. Issues will arise if this is not done)
Select flash zip and flash superersonic-signed.zip and reboot when it’s finished.
Changelog:

HTC Mobile Guide

PDF Viewer
HTC Stocks, Stock widget and all stock related apks
HTC Footprints and widget
HTC NaviPanel

HTML Viewer (Not necessary for anything)
QuickOffice
All Sprint apps except Visual Voicemail including Sprint Navigation (Google Maps Nav is better), Sprint TV and widget, Sprint NFL, Sprint Nascar and the Sprint Zone app.
Teeter
Sprint Hotspot App
Bugs:
Apps2SD seems to be working fine however the apps I included (Rom Manager, Wifi tether, etc) don't seem to be showing after a flash. I assume this has something to do with apps2sd but am not sure. I am working on this.
Apps2SD Note:
To use apps2sd you must have an ext partition on your sd card. If you don't already just back up all your data (it will be erased), boot into recovery, go to the partition option and partition your card there. This method is from DarkTremor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087) so it also supports swap if you have a swap partition. After you partition your sd card apps2sd will work automatically.

only problems I found so far is.. NO widgets loaded up on first boot.. and when I load the HTC home clock it doesn't get weather.. I tried even loading it manually but no go. next is GPS seems to be on by default, i had to manually disable it..and location services are disabled for "Use Network" Kinda back-words from what stock does
and some apps aren't showing up in the market.. i.e fandango..

The widgets not loading by default was intentional. I always end up deleting everything on the homescreens anyway so I made a clean slate for whatever ya'll want.
The GPS thing is kind of wierd. I'll see about changing that. The clock is also on 24 hour time by default. Forgot to mention that issue.
EDIT: Also for the market, try wiping your dalvik cache. That should fix it.
Looks like everything I wanted to do eventually.
Thanks for this! Downloading now
Is this ROM based off of the stock (1.32.651.1) ROM or the OTA updated (1.32.651.6) ROM?

Good call. If someone does a benchmark of the OTA I will do a bench of this. If not I will try to flash the OTA and then flash back to this. Best benchmark app anyone?

No you can flash every zip in a row starting whit the lowest number and working up.
Yes you should be able to remove apps you dont like fom the zip. Othervise you can uninstall them afterwards.

Im looking in a slight diffrent way to set this patch up.
For example planning to symlink the bootanimation to SDCARD so it would be possible to change animation just to plugin the phone to computer and drag and drop a new bootanimation to a folder in SDCARD.
And yes i could make a patch for you that removes those things you dont like from the orginal patch. In that way i can update the normal patch and you just flash yours to remove those things you dident like.
Regarding Wireless Tether and Wi-Fi hotspot their is some diffrens users claims , i dont use those myself and its simple to uninstall Wireless Tether

Please explain how you do it. Could you attach a logcat, or paste it in pastebin.com? Thanks.

Same problem, my defy is hanged many times, and need to pull the battery.
Do we not need to flash a certain SBF file?

I believe it's not necesarry. Just flash it via custom recovery.
about my problems
Thanks for your great work here, surprisingly there are people who do like BLUR.
My friend being one of them, his phone was becoming very (Read: Amazingly) unresponsive, but he refused to drop BLUR.
We haven`t noticed anything strange but will let you know if anything turns up.

I'm confused here. What is your problem?
I want install this mod.But firstly i was should install T-Mobile 34.4.9 rom.I find update.zip than put in sdcard i try to install stock android recovery but it gives an error about accountsync.apk what can i do about it?

[Q] Certain Apps Force Closing****FIXED!****

First, let me say what I have on my S5.....
* Original Odex Rom
* Phone is rooted(Superuser injected as a system app)
* PhilZ Recovery
* KToonsez's latest Kernel(Of course, permissive SELinux Status)
* Latest Xposed Installer
* I "think" I deleted all the knox apps(Feel free to tell me again all that need to go)
* I have already fixed SDcard Write permissions.
Now, let me say that I get FC's on any apps that deal with external storage, and only at certain times. This is my problem.
1. Titanium Backup only when trying to schedule a task. Does it everytime.
2. Rom Manager doesn't give me the option to backup to external. Crashes when I go to settings only.
3. Beacon doesn't let me change LED pattern. Crashes as soon as I touch the button.
4. Other apps have crashed at weird, different times.
I have used Rom Manager AND Root Manager to fix permissions a million times. Also keep cleaning Cache & Dalvik. Does anyone know what is causing the instability? This is the only thing stopping my new S5 from being perfect.
Thank you in advance to anyone that replies!

[ROM] Semi-stock/Super-clean/Tweaked/Rooted

I've been learning how to build a custom rom for the S5...
Finally got my first stable version that I'd love to share!
Special Features:
Stock Base
Rooted - SuperSU
BusyBox integrated.
zip-aligned
Build.prop tweaks for speed, battery, usb debug
Removed all Verizon/Samsung apps that I could possibly strip out - without having any problems in settings, etc.
(Except S Voice - I just skipped including that because it's useless to me.)
WiFi Hotspot - WITH NOTIFICATION TOGGLE
**** Almost all apps have been moved to /data/app - which means you can uninstall them, not just turn them off.
Replacements:
Replaced stock launcher with Holo Launcher HD
Chrome replaced with Firefox
Messages replaced with Handcent
Includes:
AdFree (Root)
Titanium Backup
I DO NOT WARRANTY THIS ROM IN ANY WAY.
INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK. DONT HATE ME IF IT DESTROYS YOUR DEVICE.
I've been running it on my device for the day and it's doing great!
Install instructions:
Use safestrap
Any ROM slot should be fine. I know it's not possible currently in safestrap to make a smaller system partition, but really only 2GB is needed for system.
I'd highly recommend a clean slot -- for some reason while testing safestrap wouldn't fully wipe the data partition.
PLEASE NOTE:
After initial boot, you will be sent through the Setup Wizard, as usual.
Immediately following completion of first boot, your phone will "go crazy" for a few seconds. The select wallpaper window will open (dont do anything), then the screen will go blank for a second.
* Setup Wizard may force close. DONT PANIC!! Everything i still working right. Just click OK.
I have set up a One-Time Init script to install the WiFi Hotspot toggle into notification panel, change the default lockscreen/homescreen backgrounds, enable USB Debugging, and to set up the initial Holo Launcher icon layout.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
MediaFire Old Version
Still being uploaded:
Odex Version Does not include Setup Wizard. If you can't live without it, get the old version.

If you like my ROM please DONATE a couple dollars!

I know there is a link somewhere here on xda where you can download a zip with all the original apks. Check in the Verizon S5 general section.
Found it! Look in OP Here
Note on my ROM, I seem to have forgotten to remove the security policy updates app. feel free to remove it yourself.
/system/priv-app/SPDClient.odex and SPDClient.apk
