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:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
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?

RELEASE BASED ON JT1134's source
First of all lets give thanks to those that helped me out and made this happen. Phidelt82, thanks for hosting the downloads. Thanks goes to dfgas and bdemartino (irc names) for helping me test it for mes and work out some otherwise un-noticed kinks. Thanks goes to dfgas for getting me the neccessary mesmerize files. Thanks to the many mirrors/host sites people have allowed me to use. Thanks to all other testers who I can not remember their names at this moment (PM/email me and you'll get put in this list). Thanks jt1134 for all the work you put in on the fascinate rom lately, you've had me playing catch up, because though I strive, I can't be as fast as you. Thanks to lmartin92, for dedicating time, energy, and learning through the entire experience and making these builds happen (that's me)
I believe these releases are as stable as jt1134's.
Here's whats in them.
CM7.0.3
AOSP GB OTB Kernel
Heinz Custom CWM
Voltage control app
Everything that is in jt's minus the kernel should be here.

WiFi
GPS
sdcard and USB mass storage
rotation and proximity sensors
screen on/off animation
haptic feedback
*** NOT WORKING ***
Camera/Camcorder

Voodoo lagfix conversions
Where can I get this?

Flash like you normally flash other aosp roms. Does not convert lagfix and if you convert to non-lagfix you will be stuck until flashing a 2.1 or 2.2 rom and installing a kernel capable of lagfixing.

This sucks.

Sweet. what, everyone else was saying nice things
Tap-a-Talked.
Works like a champ! And very fast too! Thanks lmartin92!!!
Glad this got ported so the rest of the i500 family can enjoy, btw lmartin92, which otb kernel version are you using, 1.3 or 1.5?
Oh, yeah, .
Wait so can we flash this in 2.5 red voodoo? I'm a little confused.
Sent from my SCH-I500
If we flash this with voodoo enabled it will stay enabled because we can't turn it off with this ROM, right? If we leave voodoo enabled can we flash back to heinz with voodoo still enabled without taking too much of a risk? Thanks for the ROM and all the work put into it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
It is always safest to disable voodoo before flashing any ROM.
You can leave lagfix enabled when you flash this ROM. You will need to flash ODIN to go back and then you can apply any backups you have done.
I've been running this since about 12 last night. It's running amazing. 2045 Quadrant, no FC's, everything is running smooth. Great job!!

No, do not flash stock in odin with lagfix enabled or you will have issues. If you keep lagfix on and flash this, you will then need to return to H57 or Pick and Pack in order to disable lagfix before using odin to go to stock.
The custom recovery included with this is CWM 3 and is only compatible with edify scripts, however, since all the theme's and rom's (for H57 and this CM7) are made with edify scripts, it's safe to start using as everything going forward will be done in edify.
Lmartin, thanks again for taking your time to create this native build, and for setting us up with a build environment!
Yes listen to bdemartino, trust me, if lagfix is enabled and you flash stock via odin you will have alot of issues. I've been there and its not fun.

I was able to use advanced restore to load my data from that build (the kang by dfgas and I)
Flash ROM, then gapps - then you could use the advanced restore so that you don't have to restore your data/apps and system settings etc (assuming you have a nandroid of that build).
For anyone wondering about theme's, you can use any HDPI theme from this list;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056292
They are installed as an .apk then selected with theme chooser, sometimes a reboot is required (or you can get the notification restart app from the market to restart the notification bar with no reboot.)
Does this version of CM7 still have the verizon logos in it? Or did someone finally replace them and put U.S. Cellular logos

THE DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED SO THAT IT CAN NOW SHOOT BOTH RED(NEW) AND GREEN(OLD) CAMERAS.
I've been unable to make green lense kernel modules work well with new kernel. GB kernel is dicks!
So i performed a fusion of 2.3 firmware onto 2.2 kernel via 2nd-init.
Pros:
Stable kernel
No ultra-bright buttons
Cons:
Somewhat slower than official 2.3
Live Wallpapers don't work
Contents:
2.2 (3.4.2-177) kernel
4.5.134 ramdisk
EGL drivers from Froyo
Camera libraries from Froyo
Sensors library from CM7
libsurfaceflinger/libserver_init from Droid2 GB OTA
libcamera wrapper by me, based on CM7 wrapper by maniac103
BlurCamera ported from Froyo (GB one is not stable)
Installation:
Install official GingerBread via nandroid + fixed sbf
Install 2nd-init recovery 0.6.1 or later
Install zip from recovery
Download:
http://tihiy.net/files/greenlens/GreenBread_1.1_release.zip
Make mirrors.
Disclaimer:
This is tested on latest (134) leak but may work on older or newer releases. I'm interested in results on those.
This is beta mod of beta firmware with frankenstein-esque methods
This may or may not work on red lenses
I'm not responsible for your damages
Please don't spam this thread with bugs, don't start flamewars and don't whine
Thanks to everyone in CyanogenDefy team!
Mention me if you're using my work.
GOOD。
but i used CM7 now.
I guess this will cause usb and wifi tether to not work?
This is great. i have red lense but this makes gingerbread development able for everyone.
This is just a great work for green lensed phones....

I'm really happy this has finally been done. I've sold my Defy few days ago and I regret that I could give the official 2.3 ROM a try. Good work !
works like a charm in my green lens defy. by the way, its the first time im running official 2.3.4, 4.5.1-134. i found it a bit laggy in comparison with nordic froyo and miui. maybe i need some reboots. im runinng shadow´s rooted version by walter (nandroid + fixed sbf).

yes dont work live wallpaper!

How many times does it needs to repeated there is no such thing as gingerbread kernel. Kernel is one thing android version is another! Gingerbread can work with 29 32 35 kernels. Moto uses 32 to GB and froyo too.
Obviously, as with everything here, you SHOULD take caution before flashing this. However, if you DON'T, and something goes wrong, then it is in no way my or anyone else's fault.
I rebuilt this ROM.
What's changed:
-Updated the kernel to version v0.0.2. (nubecoder)
-Added the 3G/1x icon fix. (SenseiSimple)
-Added Hotspot hack. (Tortel1210/Necrosan)
-Added the Camera sound fix. (IcePlanet)
-Removed some Sprint/Samsung bloat (suggest more to remove if you want).
-Added CRT off.
-Added a 1% battery mod.
And of course, the old goodies:
-Deodexed
-noCIQ (k0nane)
-LogsProvider Fix (Tortel1210)
-GPS Fix (hienkhieu)
-Extended Power Menu (untermensch (I also borrowed the icons for the menu from him. Hope you don't mind!))

I would say wait until the ODIN prerooted w/ CWM comes along. Then base with that and flash custom ROMs as they release and appear worthy.

I'm not entirely sure. This comes with nubernel, which was made for EH17, and I don't think any modifications were done to it to get it to work, so I suppose they can.

I believe the nubernel is actually an EI22 kernel. It was created from the source that we saw in October that was later taken down, which is identical to the new EI22 source that is currently up. So technically we were running EH17 leak with EI22 kernel before. I may be wrong but this is how I understand it.

Thank you for adding it there. And you're quite welcome.
Source earlier and source now are identical, so the only way it wouldn't work is if the devs had to add something to make it work with EH17, than in turn only works with EH17.
I don't think that's the case, and I'm running nubernel problem free thus far.
