But you should really read up before you just flash your phone with anything.
...and use the search function.

Hm...because the one coming with captivate sucks...?
It cannot automatically detect the netmask of a protected wifi and I have to do it manually with gscript and i hate that, and i want to try out 2.2

dk17 kernel

flash it in recovery
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/dk17kernel.zip
is this legit?
Yes it is legit.
Thanks noob!
Why would he post something that isn't real?
Woo ... here we go!
Hope this isn't a dumb question, but I will take my chances...
Can this be flashed with any of the froyo roms that are out right now?
Like to I need to be on a rom that is based on DK05?
wooh! nice, will we get the rest of dk17?
I realize noobnl is pretty much a genius around here, but can we get some type of description or instructions on this? One would assume this is for 2.2 but I don't really feel like assuming anything when I could potentially brick my phone.
Yes it is for 2.2
Sheesh, Noobnl! You develop like the wind. I remember the Moment days, oh how I'm glad I upgraded to the Epic!
On topic: I may be behind the times a bit, but could someone please explain what dk17 fixes or does better than, say DK05? Just curious. Thanks XDA devs, you all do a fantastic job!

I am at the same question Antonyvijai.
How can I put this on my phone (AT&T 2.2 KB1 Froyo + Root + Supercurio's KB1 + Voodoo + CWM Recovery)
If I need to deodex, a link to a how to would be awesome!
Question 2, does flashing this mod remove any themeing I have installed?

Absolutely. Having a guide will help us a lot. Last thing we need is an hard bricked captivate

Ok, I googled the phrase "deodex android".
It looks like the 3rd result is a HOW-TO (it is titled that anyway). So I am off to read this! I'll let you know what happens later.
I still need to know if flashing this mod will wipeout my matted blue theme!
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I read the link. I am going to try this, however, I do not have the time right now (have a "real" job I am late for already!) If anyone tries this, post here to let us know the result!

it doesnt matter if its froyo or eclair, or what rom you are on....heck it almost doesnt matter what PHONE you are on. deodexing is the same process across the board

That I know / understand now! So, won't have that question anymore. In the adb shell command I see it is referring to ext3. I flashed voodoo lagfix injected kernel and somewhere I read it changes it to ext4 or something like that ..is it something I need to watch at least or it doesn't matter too! Also, do you know any other method to deodex? Like through a root app...

[Q] Install another Samsung's Gingerbread, yay or nay?

Ok, Im sorry if you've seen a million threads on this type of question.
I've done as much googling as I can and have just decided to ask this.
Has anyone tried to install a gingerbread that is said to be made for another Samsung phone on their Sidekick 4g? If so, any luck with that?
I have a 2.3.5 GB ROM downloaded, and I found an Odin for this SD4g. The only reason I havent done it is cause Im not risking with someone Else's phone.
Any insight, or even a yes or no would be helpful. Thank you.
Nay different kernals would hardbrick ur phone

Dang. Maybe I can see about some more research on this. If only it was my phone or id experiment since I got the stock firmware downloaded and ready for mishaps.
I thank you for you input.
Np I heard roms can be flashed in the android emulator??
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
Nope , it won't work and there's no 2.3.5 for the SK4G so it'll brick your phone it's just a fake but you could always try as we have the Reserrectar incase your phone brick's but that's just a option which would need work so i would say no , we would need a GB kernel which nobody has yet .

[Q] Help

Is this the right mod for my SGH-T959? HERE
If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod
Nope. If it's a t959 you have a vibrant. Go to the proper forums for your phone. Look under your battery for the model number.
if it's a t959v then yes you're in the right forums.

Yeah I thought there would be a better rom lol
EDIT: Can you tell me where to find both of them? and the best way to install it cause for some reason I cant get CwM to work on my phone and I could try using adb with cmd but I don't want to risk messing up my phone again :X
RE EDIT: Umm... I installed [ROM] ACID presents ICBINB and for some reason its been at the green android dude for couple of mins now and its not going anywhere he's just popping up and better then disappear then it does it again over and over again. oh, and it vibrates every so often.

You flashed a Froyo 2.2 ROM on GB 2.3 boot loaders. It might work but your recovery will be all screwy. Your probably soft bricked so back to heimdall. There is an icbinb for kj6. Search development

How to root stock froyo?

Hello all, i've been using cyanogenmod since i got my phone, but would like to get some of the stock apps of it. It's nvflash'd, but I am not sure how i should goa bout rooting it. Is there some sort of flashable zip for 2.2? Should i use superoneclick?
Sorry for asking, but i am unsure of superoneclick, since i have never used it. I'm just wondering if it will permantly affect the bootloader or anything (im going to search after this post)

Sorry again folks. I meant by reflashing my stock rom (from here in canada), it goes back into a unrooted "firmware" phase without superuser. Therefore, i cannot use titanium backup since there is no superuser. I could still use nvflash to flash another rom, but couldnt get nova out of the rom!
I got it by flashing the file for 2.3.3 from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
(took a leap of faith on 2.2.2). Anyways got it working.
Thanks for trying to decode my original post though
I've read it about 3 times, with no luck to figuring this out. You are rooted and running cyanogen but want to know how to root and get 2.2 stock applications?

Just a quick question, that flazhable package doesn't affect the bootloader like superoneclick correct?
