Okay so I know I'm a newbie but... Can anyone tell me how to get Flash on my At&t Captivate? I know 2.2 has been released and but apparently I need a step by step guide even though I've been doing this for a long time (maybe I'm suffering from altzhiemers).
Search the app market for "flash 10.1". Install.
You need to have android 2.2 for Captivate. Then search "Flash Player" on the Android Market. I don't recall if the app is pre-installed on the 2.2 Captivate.
Good luck. Click on that link... I wrote up that guide... it's fairly easy to follow. Just remember to take it step by step and follow each one exactly. Download mode, have odin open, then plug in, and flash away!
Flash player requires Android 2.2 which hasn't been released for Captivate yet.

thats because you are not as LEET as the ones that all post there are too many bugs to run it....
i have been running FroYo since about 3 hours after designgears dropped the leak on us....there have been a few quarks that we have had to work out, but any BUG that some people think thats there, is easily remedied with a little looking around on the forums.
you know, its the cool thing to be against the FroYo movement....
lol my wife is running froyo with no issiues

Same here..
Also, OP, I've found the absolute easiest way to get FroYo/root/lagfix-all in one is with Cognitions Odin thing. It flashes the latest version of Cognition and take only about five minutes. Extremely simple. Almost as easy as the Odin3 one-click stock recovery thing. And obviously with Android 2.2, you can use install flash from the market and use it to your heart's content
JI6 leaked Foryo bugs are well doucmented in a dedicated thread. You probably rarely use your phone if you don't encounter any bugs.
Yes, I'm aware there are ways to work around some bugs (like replace the email client with the older email client) but that doesn't mean the ROM has no bugs. And my phone still need reboot at least twice a week to make it funtion correctly. Otherwise, the phone just slows and lags and some menus just show random stuff.
Even Samsung has to pull its *official* JP6/JPM release in Europe to fix the various issues.

so why not use a rom based on it that a kind dev has already tweaked for us?
not use my phone much??? LMFAO!
its my work phone (email and cell), personal phone (email and cell), gps (yes mine works), handheld game device, and toy.....
yeah, thats not using it at all....
most of the roms out there based on the leaked froyos are very stable and good enough for daily use.
You lost me there, bro. What the buggy Froyo leak from AT&T has anything to do with custom ROMs? I'm not anti-Froyo. Just stating the fact that current leaked beta ROM from Samsung is very buggy.
I said the leak Froyo ROM is buggy. And you said it is not because you're running a custom ROM ?? WTF? It's like saying I'm running a Nexus One with Froyo w/o problem hence there should never be buggy Froyo out there for any phone.

LOL....and i said that the 'bugs' can easily be remedied by looking around on the forums. the custom rom came into play because all the tweaks have already been done for you and do not require you to apply anything special to rid the 'bugs'.
honestly, the bugs that are being claimed are very minute, and dont warrant a blanket statement like, 'Stay away from Froyo for our phones!!!111 its evil!!!111'
reading comprehension is a skill.

That's correct. Lots of bugs, but I still won't flash back to 2.1. Just waiting for a full release of the new Cognition.
Ok guys questions answered. We are not gonna get into the Custom vs stock rom debate again, there are plenty of threads for that
I deem this thread closed
Deodexed framework/app files for the 3.4.2 GB Froyo release.
Flash the package via clockworkmod recovery (Install zip from sdcard option)
If you have removed apps this will restore them back to stock, so you will need to go in an remove again.
Enjoy!
Download Here!

Sweet!
I am currently running the default T-Mobile UK firmware, I've been more nervous about flashing the Defy than the Magic due to root issues in the new Firmware.
Look forward to giving this a try.
I have searched the forum but couldn't find an answer..
What is the benefit of having deodexed files?
Thanks
I believe it allow's you to custom theme it.
This is the answer I found on the droid x forums.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/18275-what-deodexed.html
I will stick to the defaults, as I am trying to determine why the UK version is so much more smoother. But keep up the good work
What jygar says, I also believe it helps with efficiency, however the theory would suggest it would have the adverse effect.
If you look for my frozen eclair thread you will see a link to a good explanation of what deodexing is/does
How I understand it, the only reason for de-odexing a build is to allow for easier modification, i.e. theming. Apart from that, there are no stability/efficiency/performance gains to be had.
As I do not plan to make any such modifications, I'll leave my 'Optimized DEX (ODEX)' files as-is, and not de-Optimize them
Working 100%!
Thanks for your work Higgsy!

I use Frozen Eclair at the moment. Is it possible to recover easily to this version or are there any perperations I have to do?
Thank you!

This is for froyo, if you are using frozen eclair then I guess you are still on 2.21 or 2.34 eclair rom
Thanks for the files. Works flawlessly.
Hi !
I would like to download this and give it a try...
Can somebody re-upload it ? I can't download it from there.
Maybe a Megaupload link ?
Thanks
please make deodexed for orange

Hi guys most of you might find this question silly but there are some of us newcomers who are still getting into this!
So, I rooted my phone, have ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, version 3 and my question is how we're going to update to official GB when it becomes available? Will we do it through official T-Mobile update, or will some of you guys make it available for us?
Thank you all!
Yes...
you should be about to get it either way. If you get the official update you will probably lose root... If you wait a few there will be a rooted version posted by one of the many xda members...

One more dumb question: Why is everybody so excited about the official GB update, when we have right now a few GB leaked versions with some custom ROMs (Bionix from TeamWhiskey, etc... ) available, for which as I hear, many say are excellent? Is this official one gonna be better in any significant way than these custom already out? Thanks! )

It will come with an official GB kernel and hopefully updated battery drivers and A2DP functionality...Amongst other LG fixes (again, hopefully).

OK, I get it... So, all these unofficial GBs are sort of limited because they lack these LG stuff they're (hopefully) putting into the official one. That's why it's smart to wait a bit more.
Hopefully it will fix most or all the problems.

Yes, that's the case. The leak has issues (which makes sense, it's not a finished build), and almost all Gingerbread mods are based on the leak so they have the same issues. I know CM7 is using the Gingerbread source instead and has fixed a lot of the issues, but not all of them.
The official update is not only going to be completely stable (hopefully) but will come bundled with better drivers/kernel support which will fix most of the common issues with the phone (hopefully).
I've gone through an Over The Air update to Android before, and if it's like what I experienced, you're going to get a pop-up that asks if you want to update now or later. Choose later if you want to keep root, someone here will have the official build rooted probably within the hour but definitely within the first couple of days.
In the mean time though, don't be scared of trying out one of the ROMs that are available. I swear by CM7, but I've heard wonderful things about EagleBlood and Ultimate too.

I have heard that official updating the rooted phone could actually brick it? And when a mod is nightly version, does it mean it it not completely stable? I am interested in CM7, but I could not find a stable version on their site.
Thanks!
i have question also since it's related to thread title. i'm running stock right now but rooted. once i update to gingerbread cm7, will i have to install all apps and settings all over? and will call log and stuff like that disappear also?

You should be able to get all of that stuff after startup my hitting the square boxes in the initial setup. Worked for me yesterday with the Eagleblood 2.3.4 ROM, when someone recommended it to me rather than Titaniumbackup which screwed up my phone a lot because I went from Froyo to GB

When I did an OTA update, it kept all of my apps and settings. I can't remember if it preserved call log.

I don't know if it will brick or not, my OTA was not rooted. And CM7 nightlies are NOT completely stable, but they're on build 58 by now and the ROM works perfectly fine. The only issue I can see with the phone is the top bar they added to the notifications menu that has toggle-able settings like WIFI, GPS, etc sometimes doesn't show up and in the camera, it calls both cameras "back" instead of one being "front".
But if you're concerned with stability that much, use the leak or EagleBlood.
Hey everyone, Im working on my ROM (version 2) but I keep getting this error saying that com.android.phone (or .mms) has ended unexpectedly. This seams so happen randomly. Does anyone know how to fix this? The download of the rom is below. Thanks in advance ill be sure to put whoever solves this in the credits of the ROM.
Here is what I have done to the ROM:
Optimized GPS (For North America) - AngelDeath
De-Bloated (Removed stock and bloat) - (I think this may be the problem but unsure, dont have a list of what I removed though. Just checked against various safe to remove lists.)
Zeam Launcher (Replaced default)
Zip-aligned
Deodexed
BusyBox
Rooted (obviously)
Voodoo lagfix
Red CWM
UCLB3 Based (dmans rooted version)
Added to build.prop
Download​
If the bloated version ran fine, and what you had "debloated" did not, you will need to consider putting back what you thought was ok to take out.
Do believe everything you read on the web.
Have you seen this yet?

My guess would be you removed the wrong apk/s or you made a bad edit in the build.prop...although I could be wrong about build.prop...I'm pretty sure it has a little to do with messaging-not positive though

No I have not, thank you!
Firstly, I'm not sure is it right section since it is not "development" but simply ROM cleanup, so Mods please move this thread to whatever appropriate section if needed.
When I started using this phone I was looking for clean, junkless stock ROM and I couldn't find any (there are variations on custom ROMs that resemble the stock one, but not the actual stock ROMs with junk removed, or at least I haven't found one). Finally I learned how to root my phone and I did it myself, but for long time I couldn't find cure nor reason for the small but annoying problem described here. Later I have found out how to fix it, and now I have pretty good stock ROM with all the "custom" junk apps and outdated apps removed. I am using it myself and I have no problems whatsoever with it.
I thought I can share my recovery backup of this custom stock ROM if anyone else is interested in it?

Which version of the stock ROM are you basing this upon? Miktouch 0.7 is pretty much a cleaned up stock ROM, the last one that was released by HTC/T-Mobile (1.63.531.2). It still has some of the T-Mobile apps but they can easily be deleted.

Yeah, that's the same as Miktouch 0.7. There's a few optional patches for Miktouch, as well: Liquid Smooth Rosie, Depaginated App Drawer, No Scrolling Cache, No Recent Apps or Genius Button patches.
