Hello all,
I am new to the forums so I apologize if I posted in the wrong place! I am looking for a Froyo rom for the Samsung Mesmerize, I have spent quite a bit of time looking and have been quite unsuccessful so far. All I am looking for is a basic Froyo Rom, something that would be close to what Samsung themselves would actually release. I am new to Android so I do not know where to look exactly. I have hacked the PSP, jailbroken iPods, and installed custom roms for Windows Mobile phones so I am no total noob in the hacking aspect. If somebody could just point me in the way of some safe froyo roms that would be much appriciated, thanks in advance!
you can not yet
I think jt has a clean mesmerize rom for you...

There are no roms Froyo based at the moment but the current rom that is avalible is Deodexed and clean (striped of extra bloat) It is an Eclair DI14 based Rom. There is also voodoo and nonvoodoo kernels avalible and I just posted some MODS I created Accurate battery and notification Icon changes, as well as it gives you Custom bootanimations if you choose the voodoo kernel,as this kernel supports custom bootanimations...All kernels can use this mod you just wont have bootanimation change if you choose nonvoodoo...Hope this helps

Clean rom is pretty snappy with the voodoo, and I'm about to flash the batt mods (thank you androidman78.
Ok, so it looks like the Miui ROM posted on the I9000/Vibrant forums that uses the Custom Bilboa1 CM7 Kernel works for the Captivate.
Here is the Link to Bilboa1's Kernel thread:

Follow the direction on the I9000 thread and substitute the CM7 captivate kernel in. Also it is noted that you have to flash the CM7 kernel right after flashing the beta 3.zip file (the zip file installs a I9000 kernel). Good luck hunting

there is already a miui port but from the fascinate. i would love to see a more functional; version though. just need someont to get the aosp kernel straitened out and reorient it. but that takes a lot of work.
Miui was being worked on and it was dropped. Have to ask master because he was the thread Creator for the captivate port as to why it was stopped. He is a vibrant dev.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine

it could be something as simple as one idiot making a flaming post, and master getting pissed off and quiting, but as far as i knew darkyy and DG were in on it too, and both of those are experienced on cappy. however, darkyy has his own rom to focus on and im sad to say it but it kinda looks like DG has moved to focus on his atrix. Not that i blame him, but i know that i will miss his work

MIUI was picked up by the french developer jblanc, and then tinkered some by another dev in i9000 land. It's basically the NS port of gingerbread miui jammed together with CM7 and bilboa's kernal for CM7 one. So we do need a reoriented kernel, as the one they are using is not the CM7 since it wouldn't boot properly. Please don't spam the thread with requests for ETAs like what happened to the old Miui thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
I have been following that thread. It looks to be much further along than the last port. This one reads like it will end up being usable, once ported here. I am running cm7 and bilboa has a captivate version of his kernel. May have to give it a run when I can afford dealing with a soft brick
CM7
Wasn't asking for ETAl, just didn't know if anyone saw. Its not the port Master put out there it was the nexus S port the uses that custom CM7 kernel. It has some of the same problems as CM7 but its miui. Seriously this is an awareness thread no flame. We have a Bilboa Kernel for Captivate, is why I'm saying why it might be possible

I would not pay mind to those who enter threads just to criticize without reading or knowing what they are talking about.
If this works on the captivate it would have all of the same "bugs" as cm7 as it is using all the set up including a custom kernel built from cm7 source.
Reading the thread it its farther along than the last port as wifi, data, and calls work. It is also gingerbread where as the last port was 2.2.1.

Has anyone tried using it on the Captivate with Bilboa's kernel? I might have some time later today to try.
Ok I got it to boot following the instructions from the MIUI thread in the i9000 forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
All I did was subsitute the captivate equivalent files from CM7. I also had to flash a captivate modem from the CM7 section too. going to test it out now.
Ok FYI after you do these steps and Flash MIUI Beta 3 it will install a i9000 kernel and modem. You will have to go after the initial steps and install a captivate CM7 Kernel and Modem.
So you used bilboas captivate kernel after you flashed the beta 3 zip?

Hey Guys. I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile and it came with Froyo. I then upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.2 and I am wondering if I can update to the most recent release for Gingerbread which is 2.3.5? Sorry if this has been asked before but I haven't really been able to find a solution. Anyway at all? Thank you.
How did you get 2.3.2? OTA?
There's no 2.3.5 atm. However, there are 2.3.4 ROMs already out in the Development section. If you want to flash them, be sure to do plenty of reading first.
I checked 2.3.5 and even on Vibrant, the only ones seem to be CM7 builds and Vibrants have dozens of roms available. So CM7 would have to be ported to the 4G first and that hasn't happened yet even for 2.3.4.
On the bright side, KH2 stock seems to be faster than anything I ran on my Vibrant before I broke it.

Just a correction before people start thinking that CM7 for the SGS4G is ported. Krylon360 and Team Whiskey are working very hard to build CM7 from scratch. They're not porting it.
Welcome to a new and sick, twisted world
Ever wish you could take one of those nice shiny GalaxyS (i9000) ROMs and flash it to your lovely Infuse? Well now you CAN! Yes, I say GO AHEAD and flash away. With LinuxBozo's magic Hellraiser, you can raise a little hell with any JVQ based i9000 ROM on your Infuse.
How's it work?
Select any JVQ based ROM for the i9000. If you don't know what this is, then this is not for you.
Push your selected ROM to your /sdcard
Download Hellraiser below
Push Hellraiser to your /sdcard
Reboot into Recovery (RED RECOVERY PREFERRED)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Flash your chosen JVQ ROM
Flash Hellraiser immediately after
Reboot and enjoy your JVQ ROM goodness
PLEASE NOTE: I am not responsible if something goes wrong. Seriously. If you don't flash Hellraiser correctly, you can be left with a phone that needs to be returned to stock with Odin or Heimdall. If you don't know how to do this, this is not for you.
FAQ:
Do I need to disable Voodoo Lagfix?
Nope.
Can I flash JVO/JVR/JVP ROMs as well?
You should be able to, but I only tested with JVQ. So you are on your own there.
Can I flash i9000 Kernels with this?
NO
Can I flash other Infuse Kernels, like Infusion to get OC/UV?
YES. Neat, huh?
Can I flash i9000 CM7 or MIUI with this?
NO. This will only work with Samsung based ROMs
Can I flash Samsung based Captivate ROMs as well?
Has been successfully done by at least one person. Make sure you use a Samsung based Gingerbread ROM.
Which ROM do you recommend?
Which one you choose really is a matter of preference. However, I tested with Sensation from Crysis21: http://is.gd/D5LJm6
How does this work behind the scenes? How is this even possible?
What Hellraiser does is flash in appropriate hardware libraries and userspace applications, and the Infuse specific modem (UCKE3) and kernel. This allows the existing i9000 ROM to work on the Infuse all while still thinking it's an i9000, but addressing the Infuse hardware.

What is Hellraiser? Any links?
I figure it allows you to put i9000 roms on it, but only certain kinds?
Does this allow me to put a fully functional GB rom on my Infuse? If so, how's this different than your work with porting over CM7?
Nice to see another dev is using a Q&A thread. stickied.
Hey man, Great Work!
I was wondering, does HellRaiser works with 100% of the Infuse's hardware?
I'm asking because I am aware you've been fixing the Bluetooth/GPS modules to bring that functionality to CM7.
So, is hellraiser a 100% hardware thing or does it have the same issues with bluetooth and voodoo sound driver than the unofficial CM7?
Thanks in advance and apologies if this question has been addressed somewhere else.

There's more detail in development. Read there, ask here.
Define "fully functional"? With the exception of HDMI and data speed issues in some areas, ROMs derived from the Rogers Gingerbread release were fully functional.
Since the low-level video/audio/etc stuff from Hellraiser is derived from that same ROM, the same limitations apply.
But it lets you take any i9000 ROM based on the Samsung Gingerbread release (tested with an XXJVQ-based ROM) and use it on the Infuse.
It will NOT work for getting anything CM7-based from the i9000 to work. CM7 has a very different low-level architecture than Samsung ROMs (which is, for example, why Bluetooth still isn't working in CM7 on the Infuse.)
I'm sure LB will still be working CM7, but every once in a while you need to take a break and do something else. LB, gtg, and Mikey have been working this off and on for a few weeks. CM7 was getting more focus, but there's only so much bashing your head against the CG2900 driver that a man can take before you go do something else for a bit. Hellraiser is the result of LB taking a break from Bluetooth.
It works AMAZING. It opens up a world of i9000 and Captivate roms for us to flash.
So far Blockbuster, Mosaic, and Darky's worked perfect.
Hellraiser
would somebody mind posting the full mediafire link for hellraiser please ... for some reason the is.gd link isn't working for me. Ty.

Yes. It's quite a bit easier to go from Samsung ROM to Samsung ROM than it is switching over to something that's completely open source like CM7. Samsung uses many closed source drivers, which we can drop into other Samsung ROMs based around the original GalaxyS platform, like the i9000 and the Captivate.

Makes sense... Thank you for your quick reply and development man! You and your team gives excellent value add to our phones!
Would love to hear feedback from people on why they like the ROM they have chosen.
Right now Infused 2.0.2 has been my ROM of choice because it's fast and I can't find a single thing wrong with it but if there's a compelling reason to check out some of the i9000 ROMs I might do so!
Also kudos to LB this is a really clever idea

I am running the one LB was running, Sensation. I gotta say its soo much smoother than 2.0.x.... I was on 2.0.1 through 4... and they just didnt seem to be right.. gtg knows his stuff but until GB is official on our phones this is the next best thing right now. battery life is awesome also, been unplugged since 3am its 1pm now, with calls, bt, wifi im at 75%
Infused is one of the best roms that I've ever used, fast, great battery life. But, I had a Captivate before that. And just seeing those Cappy roms on our big screen is neat. Nothing life-changing, just neat. If you're a tinkerer and enjoy playing around with roms, this is a must.

If I do a backup of my current setup (Infused 2.0.2 and bedwa GB kernel) from ROM Manager will that give me a complete snapshot of the phone that I can return to if I don't like SensatioN + Hellraiser?

I would say that yes, if you reboot into recovery manually, and took a backup directly in Red CWM it would. I wouldn't trust Rom Manager to do it for you.

I am just posting this because i recently came from a Mytouch 4g. I got sick of HTC sense so now im going pure stock android. Just posting this because i know nothing about roms and such for this phone. Just wondering if someone could help me out which rom i should use, kernels, tricks, etc.... any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
Hello and welcome. Like I tell all newcomers to the G2x, this phone has its bugs, but with the right combination of rom and kernel, this thing can be a beauty. I personally am using a pre-rooted stock OTA GB along with faux123 0.1.3 kernel. However, all phones are different and so are users, so you will have to experiment to find out what works best for you and your phone. Have fun.

Thanks for info. as soon as my G2x comes in the mail i will be trying various roms and kernels to find out whats right for me.
Nice =)
I'm running the stock ROM and I love this phone! There are bugs but for raw performance and features this phone is awesome. It also helps that I paid nothing for it!

Well CM7 is always a good bet. Ive had great experiences with Weapon rom which is a more stock LG rom with tweaks.
MIUI is also working awesome. Im using 0.8.19 MIUI from the rom forum.
You'll need to NVFlash first which only takes a second. This installs a good clockworkmod recovery.
Then just download roms to SD and flash away.
No root required to start flashing. All custom roms have root access.

My personal reviews:
CM Nexus 2.3.5: great rom, close to stock
Eaglesblood: lots of features
CM7: not for me, felt laggy
OMGB: fast and speedy, really close to stock with some nice features, but couldn't get data to work
Weapon: couldn't get data to work on my phone, I view it as Eaglesblood
MIUI: great, fast. ran into problems with battery life. Must of been the kernel.
Xboarder's Stock 2.3.3 rom: The current rom i'm using, quick, fast, and the closest to stock you're gonna get.
Hope this helps
Weapon G2X with faux's kernel is the best in my opinion. I'm getting 10+ hrs of battery even at 1.4 GHZ

New like you
I got my G2x in November and like you never messed with any ROM's or Kernels, basically never had a phone worth rooting so I never bothered to learn anything about it. Once I read the beginners guide on installing NVflash and CWM, I began flashing like crazy. I really liked CM7 and I am anxiously awaiting CM9. I got the fastest benchmark test with Eaglesblood and an OC kernal, but I just flashed this-
RG2x-MIUI v1.12.23 and so far I love it. I've never used MIUI before and so far it has been extremely smooth and looks awesome. This has the faux kernel built in and the benchmark test was almost as good as Eaglesblood. I did flash the CM7 camera and the Bravia hack and now the camera works as good as the stock GB one. However I don't think Wifi calling works. Hope that helps, I know you'll have fun like I did flashing all the different flavors out there!
Im using Eaglesblood with Faux123 0.4.7. Its really smooth no lag. Ive tried others but i always seem to come back to this one
I'm running weapon 3 with faux123 0.1.3 kernel at 1.4ghz and it runs great its fast and smooth and I get great battery life. I have also used miui and its a great rom as well.
