I have a vibrant and I've loaded mine up with a custom rom, but someone asked me to look at their captivate for them. They have whatever 2.1 OTA AT&T is pushing, its basically unmolested.
How can I upgrade this to a stable 2.2? Is there a stock leak thats out there? What would I need to do?

Read the stickies, read the FAQs, read, read, read.
Do a search comes to mind.
Stock JI6 and JJ4, plus slightly fixed JJ4
There's one custom ROM based on the two Cap Froyos above (Cognition), two based on Vibrant Froyos (Axura and Eugene's Ginger Clone), and a whole bunch (everything else) based on i9000 Froyos using either xcaliburinhand's reorient kernel (adapts i9000 to Cap) or SetiroN's reorient + OCUV.
thanks, I already read a ton, there was way too much information which is why I was asking for a little help. I just want a stable 2.2 leak if it was available, I can't find it

There is a new leak of gingerbread out for the SGS over in the I9000, and apparently this is supposed to be version that will be the official release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
Nice, hopefully it doesn't take forever to see it officially released like it did with Froyo!
Waiting for source
I'm not too worried about AT&T, I believe once the source is released we will have many official releases XDA style
once the source is out we will have it. thank god for xda! and of coarse supercurio! i have been rocking out to music for the last couple days thanks to voodoo sound, not that the sound was bad before but now i can really appreciate it. also getting some better iem's (in ear monitors) the samsung ones are ok, well for an included accessory they are amazing but nothing compared to what is out there. i wouldnt think about getting a different phone right now. but i will see if the infuse has the hifi wolfson amp in it. the galaxy s 2 looks amazing but makes me wonder what will be out when i am up for a new contract.
Neat, hope the source appears sooner rather than later after the official release.
Lol... I must be losing it. And official sgs 2.3 leaks and this is the extent of the discussion. .... Lol wtf.
most people are more excited by cm7 for some reason. this is what i will use as soon as a reorient kernel comes about, all i can do is hope the source is realesed shortly. i think it was available pretty quick after jpx/jpy were released so i think it wont take long.
Nevermind

Regardless... It's a big deal. And none of the other threads made it very far. At all.
Go look at the i9000 forums. They're littered with posts and 2.3 sgs roms. All we have are crickets.
To be fair, we don't have the source available, so the leaked rom is kind of useless to us. It's a neat novelty, just to flash for a few minutes to see what's in store, but it's definitely not something you would use daily.
Just downloaded the Rom.. anyone know of a good kernel to use with this rom?? will CM7 kernel work with this rom? since its 2.3.3

Highly doubtful.. It should come with a compatible kernel and modem packaged in to it.
I wouldn't flash it straight through odin if I were you, though. If you have access to a linux machine, you should repackage it as a cwm flashable zip that doesn't flash boot or sbl, otherwise you risk either perma-bricking your phone or locking your bootloader.
My memory must be going. I remember us having ported i9000 2.2 roms well before the source dropped.

Stock kernel will boot, but there will be sound logic, screen orientation, button mapping...... problem list extends
Not until Sammy realeses the source code of GS gingerbread ROM that we can have reoriented kernels.

No... We didn't have reoriented kernel until JPM source was released. And before that, we were playing with the leak JI6 Captivate Froyo.
Guess it's time to start taking vitamins.

Vibrant owners have a port of this already, so yes it would seem that reorienting can be done without source, but devs aren't touching this for some reason...I really hope that changes cause I want to try this out but don't have the knowledge base to try to reorient the kernel myself and don't have time to learn currently.
No source, no kernel, no ROM. That simple.

So i've been looking at all the XT720 ROMs that are available now, and it's got me wondering which rom is the best? They all seem to be very similar.

It depends on what you are looking for, ill break it down for you.
Everything started with dexters froyo 1.3. Excellent breakthrough for all XT720 users so most of us started out with this ROM. Over time the excellent devs like khal powers, fjfalcon and Mioz7ae, worked on the same dexters froyo to create basically 3 ROMS.
1) Khalpowers Epic Steel V4, heavily optimized, fast stable, swap support and non stock appearance.
2) Fjfalcon, took the stock dexters and created RusMod 1.19 which is dexters with stock appearance and all the optimizations. He recently changed the kernel to the one from CB's Froyo, and also added build prop changes from there. It has multilanuguage support. He also created the SWAP kernel which can be applied to all the said ROMS, but needs a fastboot via USB everytime your phone reboots.
3) Khalpowers, ported MIUI which is a whole new experience. Depends on how much you like MIUI. Like epicsteel its very fast and stable.
4) Cincinnati Bell Froyo, built by CB using the same process as dexter. Much more stable than dexters.
5) WanHU's rom based on the original korean 2.2 is what most people are looking into right now. Stock 2.1 appearance. Very fast, media buttons working, radio working, TV out working, and with haptic feedback. This is the closest well get to an offical MOTO release.
If you want to go with a stock froyo appearance I suggest try either CB, or RUS mod. If you want different appearance try MIUI, or epicsteel. If you want the latest and most promising ROM which is just a treat to use go for WanHU. Personally id tell you flash WanHU, been using it nowadays and I have to say its pretty cool.
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.
Im unfamiliar with the names of new roms, and want to try a new rom out. In the past I have used CM7, MIUI, apex, etc.
I am currently on Pinnacle 1.2 and I love it. From what i understand this is a KH3 rom, and was a official captivate rom, and this is why my battery life is so much better compared to CM and apex roms.
From now on i only want to stick with releases like pinnacle, for battery purposes. How do i know which releases are captivate releases, and which are I9000 or other roms?
Which rom is out right now that is the newest official captivate release? Also is there any new kernels that are compatible with pinnacle/new oficial captivate releases?
Thanks in advance.
1. Samsung never released any official GB ROM for our captivates, KH3 is also a leaked build, though have been pretty solid build.
2. KF1, KH3, KI1, KI2, KJ1, KJ2 and KJ3 are Captivate (I897) GB ROM base leaked so far.
3. There are few KJ3 custom ROMs out there.
4. KJ3 kernels (Boog's, Corn Kernel, Samurai & Red Nebula) should work with Pinnacle 1.2/1.3.

Samsung doesn't release the update, the carrier does. Rogers in Canada has released gingerbread officially for the captivate. And source code for the kernel.
Manufacturers are at the mercy of the carriers.
Cappy native builds usually start with k
I9000 start with j
Cm7 and miui are completely different altogether.

Ah, i see. So just leaks of gingerbread have been released so far? Is that the order they came out in? Is kj3 a better rom than kh3?
I basically just want to know which rom is based on what release - and how old that release has been out for. I see so many roms on xda, but really know nothing about the initial release that they are based on.
Is there a site everyone watches to wait for releases?

Do rogers builds work on captivate? i know the answer is yes, but i mean work like a (k) build does on my phone.
Like you, I like to stay stock as much as possible. Use Andromeda³ and Ursa Minor². It's Froyo and as close to official stock as you can get. It's a great ROM and really underrated with all the usual fixes you would expeect; exceptional performance, good battery life, GPS fixed, etc. It's really all you need. Slap on Go Launcher Ex and a nice theme and you're set.

Yes thats the order of Captivate GB updates....KH3 is most solid version yet with good battery, gps and over all performance...A new one has just popped up called KK1.....
The naming convention depends on the months and number of release...K is for 2011 in KH3 but H stands for the month and number(3) stands for the number of release that month...similarly for others...

try Samfirmware.com and XDA....but it will be all over the news if the official updates comes for captivate....like it came for Epic
I used a KJ3 ROM for a while, then went to KH3 (Pinnacle). I saw no difference in memory usage, etc. except that the KJ3 ROM was missing a bunch of ringtones (only came with digital phone), and the Gallery was pretty much unusable (black screen issue). For me, KH3 has been less buggy. Now there's a new leak out, but I'll wait to see if there are any real improvements before going through the trouble of flashing another ROM and configuring my phone again.
KK1is out now!

The first K stands for the year K=2011, the stock shipped firmware was JF6, J=2010. At least this is my understanding of it.

Hi,
Please don't burn me about a new post I've done a lot of phone research to get to the Infuse. The options for an "android development newb" are many. And not sure what a kernel and Rom is...Rom is the operating system right?
Basically looking for a stable/best operating system with priority in audio quality for headphones.
Ive read abit about the Voodoo for the wolfson chip in the Infuse. Read about a leaked version of Android 2.3.5 available but it may have some 'rainbow' effect?..
Basically trying to find the best rom, kernel and whatever, their are so many.
Thanks.
EDIT: Looking to use 'Voodoo control plus' app and 'Voodoo Screen Tuning' app so need compatible rom & kernel.
It really is going to be personal preference all the roms I have tried are pretty damn stable I have seen people really liking caty rom though prob try that first
Other popular one I used to see in google searches was MIUI, infused might be good, is it closer to stock ROM? Stock roms are probably safer ie not losing BT?
Interested in this [KERNEL]Community Kernel v8 - (7/17/11) - Voodoo sound v10

Video only works with that rom if you have the correct kernel I do believe.
I would suggest going here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021 and downloading the one with 3e recovery. That enables access to modifications such as voodoo control, while maintaining a stable stock environment. The simplest voodoo kernel you can use is the voodoo community kernel, which can be found in the infuse super thread under the android development section of this forum.
Hope this helps!
I am also new to the Infuse. I had the AT&T Captivate that I was able to flash to Rogers 2.2 and it was great. Rogers allows more control of the phone and was very stable. I then got greedy and tried to flash a Rogers GB rom and bricked my phone. I read that the Infused rom is based on Rogers but it seems to have some bugs.

No bugs in Infused. The Rogers firmware doesn't have HDMI support, because the Rogers phone doesn't have HDMI out. Other than that, Infused is the best stock ROM for this phone. Once AT&T releases GB, we'll probably get another update, but there's no bugs. If you flashed an Infuse ROM on a Captivate, well... there's your problem. I can't tell from your post if that's what happened or not.

I disagree that the infused is the best ROM. Its a good ROM, but IMO CatyRom or Numas, are better. I ran infused for a long time as well as a lot of Ports. The Ports are fun, lots of customization and bells and whistles, but the 2 I mention as well as the infused are the best for what you're looking for I think.
Infused is outdated though.
I prefer these because they are native to infuse.
I suggest
1) CatyRom
2) Numas
3) Infused v2.3.3
The ICS version of Caty has a MIUI music player that is awesome. Also there is a free app called audio FX that I use for an eq and its great.

Might try Catyrom, but probably will one of the latest leaks "ROM I997UCKL2 [2.3.6]" or "UCKL2[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, and CRT off]" I'm led to believe theyr both stock.
If I go with first UCKL2 I will need to root it to run the voodoo apps. If I root it will I lose video and HDMI? If so how do you fix it? Would I be better to go with the latter UCKL2 (already rooted)?
Note I may be upgrading from froyo (I havent got the phone yet).
