I cant post in the dev forum I guess, so I'll post here. I have always played with mods for computers, bios and system. Always trying to get the most out of my electronics. I even Rockboxed my sansa fuse mp3 player. I'm no expert but I follow directions well I guess. I got my captivate a month or so ago and when searching for info on it I found xda. I read alot and rooted my phone. Then flashed speedmod to use lagfix but I wanted to overclock so I kept reading and found the CONTINUUM 4 thread and read it carefully. I decided to try it and have been hooked ever since. I have had no major issues other than my own lack of knowedge on how android works. I started with speedmod, flashed over it with continuum4 themed. Then after i got it all set up for me I backed up files and started trying different modems. I settled on xxjvk for now and seems all good. I found that with this setup I can oc to 1.3 with a uv of -75. Runs good and stable. I even seemed to help my battery by going to the onix page (the kernel continuum uses) and flashing to the newest onix build. I'm very impressed and happy with this rom and recommend it. I also wanted to mention since some people are having issues with the rom, my phone was a refurb I897 with FROYO2.2 on at&t. I edited my .prop file after flashing to mirror the original FROYO UCKB1 .prop file. I don't know if this does anything but everything seems to recognize my phone as unmodded I897 with unmodded Froyo (including this site for my sig).
So THANK YOU to all that contributed to the continuum4 rom. It's the reason I purchased the xda app.

Has anyone reported high battery usage with this ROM? I have this installed, with one of jt1134's "Built from EC10 source" kernels. So far it has been killing my battery, so much so that sometimes with it plugged in, the charger won't keep up and the battery still goes down. Could be that the battery needs to be calibrated, but I didn't seem to have any issues like that before.
Battery stats show Display is main user of power. I've been doing a lot of downloading, so I'm going to give it a couple of days and see how it goes.

Okay, I finally got my Mez flashed.
I used Odin to apply the 2.2 update from this thread and everything looked good. In fact, all my apps were there! yay.
Then I installed this SC 2.9.2, now my apps are all done and my app drawer has switched from the left/right scroll to the vertical scroll, which I hate.
Did I do something wrong, and more importantly, am I stuck in this state now?

You can use Odin to restore back to stock or flash the PnP rom to go back to Touchwiz. You won't get your apps back unless you backed them up first though. Also, you posted this in the Showcase forum. Hopefully you didn't flash their stuff to your phone or you may be in even more trouble.

Yeah, I realized I was in the wrong thread, but XDA is having all sorts of issues right now and I couldn't get back to move it.
Thanks for the tips, I'll restore one of my backups or maybe just flash the PnP 0.3.
Thanks!

Hi. Im fairly new to the Android OS. I just switched from an iphone. And ive been seeing/hearing a lot of talk about rooting, flashing roms, etc. I know that there are probably many threads on this, but I just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of rooting, flashing roms and such. And if I decide to do so, how do I? What rom would be best (for my sgs4g)? Sorry if this was too muxh to ask. Thanks in advance

Well right now, the best ROM you can have is Gingerbread, which just came out recently.
Rooting is very similar to Jailbreaking when it comes to iPhone; it allows you to perform speed tweaks, and enable functionality not available on standard software.
As for flashing these ROMs, make sure you download a program called ODIN.
Before that, install the Samsung USB Drivers and read THIS.

I compiled a few tutorials on some various tweaks on my site as well, and have a few download links for files if you need them.
Good luck!

Im not sure that Gingerbread would be the best choice right now for someone just starting out. It appears that the ROM that whitehawkx just releases still has a few bugs to be worked out. I would say that Bionix is probably a better choice for the moment.
Hah thanks. But I just had a few more questions. Do I need to be rooted to install gingerbread? Is flashing necessary? And is installing the new software just as easy as jailbreaking like an iphone?

First off. Post in the correct section. This belongs in General. Please try searching before making a new thread. You know that this has been answered several times in multiple threads. I came from and Iphone too and I took the time to do the research. First just go to the Bible for SGS 4G. You'll find it here in this section. Make sure you read everything. I too was a noob but I took the time to read everything before posting a new thread on what's been answered just for your convenience.

I would suggest doing TONS of reading on all the topics related to flashing/rooting/etc... Another reason why I think Gingerbread would be a bad choice for you right now is because I don't think ClockworkMod works with it yet. Without CWM you won't be able to do things like installing zips from your SD card and doing complete backups of your phone in case you mess something up. Yes, you will need to be rooted in order to flash to a new ROM. Flashing is only necessary if you want a ROM. Like what you have? Then don't flash.
Android is a pretty easy OS to use when you get used to it. But make sure that you take it slow and read everything carefully. Hope this helps.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone.. I'll be sure to look into this morw before I decide what to do.

Ehh, I've been running on Gingerbread and aside from a single bluetooth issue, I really have no complaints.
Bionix is a good choice too, though. You may be right in suggesting that as a beginners ROM.
So, Go with Bionix, edwenoid, it'll allow you to do many more tweaks.
Remember, this might seem pretty complicated at first, but I've had a Galaxy S 4G for only about a month now and i'm not too bad at this whole tweaking thingamajig

Look twelve posts down from yours. I used that process and it worked well.
Why didn't you post this on Q&A? Yes it can be rooted. Plenty of methods on Dev section and Q&A. Name a few, Flash Corn kernel or samurai (if you using KK4), Fugu method etc.
Edit: I believe the method linked above is Fugu method
I did use this guide and worked for me.
How To Flash Captivate ROMs from STOCK
If something goes wrong I did use the following guide
[Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection)+[Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)]+[Modems] UPDATED
In case someone lands on this thread via Google like me...
I'm a total noob, so I tried the widely-suggested "CLShortFuse's One-Click Root" (SuperOneClick 2.3.3) but it doesn't seem to work with stock Gingerbread as of yet. I had trouble finding something that both I could understand and that works, but this thread at androidforums has a "for dummies" guide to using Odin and a DesignGears AutoRoot thing, and worked well for me.
Also, if you start getting "TetheringManager" force closes, turn off USB Debugging.
(To give credit, the guide appears to be derived from these two threads: from xda-developers and attdroids.)
Corn kernel has the option to root within the recovery menu
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The easiest way for me was to download pretty much any ODIN flash distribution and an Auto-root kernel by DesignGears....put the kernel file in the pda slot and hit start and POOF...reboot with a root....files you need are attached at the bottom you dont need the PIT file.
This thread is 4 days old...and the OP hasn't returned. Pretty sure of he ain't got it by now..then he had to deal with a pressing matter involving a hot shot up and coming wizard and his 2 friends
why do people keep bumping this?

Because it's the first xda-developers Google hit for a few related searches (like "captivate 2.3 root", just as an example); it's not just for the OP.

In this thread, OP states that his rom, and some others may be affected with the brickbug. I'm running Sky ICS, its a fairly recent version (from a few weeks ago)
I'm worried that my phone may be affected (I have the Rogers i727r). Can anyone confirm that my phone is in danger of dying on me? And if so, how can I avoid this.
I used Chainfires app and it said that my emmc chip is probably affected, but I'm reading that bricking occurs based on the the kernel I'm running

Did you read the threads you linked to? Or this one?
This post has some info.
It seems that the Skyrocket does have this problem, but the circumstances have to be perfect for it to occur.
Since the kernel source code for the ICS leaks for the Skyrocket is not available there is no way to know if the kernel is safe, from my understanding of the issue.

Your question and further discussion would be more appropriate in one of the already existing threads about this. Starting new threads on the same topic just fragments the discussion.

I think you are being hard on OP for no reason. This is a serious issue and I was very concerned. I have read the linked posts and additionally I did some research and here is what I get that applies to me
SGS2 Skyrocket IS impacted
[Edit] All SGS2 SkyRocket recoveries - including one I use Touch recovery to install ROM) are GB based. Source this post
My Kernel is NOT impacted since it is GB(I am on MHX superlite 3.1 GB rom)

It would be a great help if some SGS2 Dev explained how it impacts SGS wrt its recovery and kernels. Which are safe and which are not.

If not reading and searching are no reason then you are correct.
It is important that each user evaluate their own risk and they can only do that by reading the discussions and processing the information in them.
Yes. The i727 with hardware revision 0x12 could hardbrick with an mmc erase if the emmc chip is faulty. The portal has a full story about it, and Samsung appears to be working on a solution. I have been on several ICS roms now, including the oneclick version of the first leak, and have never had a single issue. Running Sky Ice as well, and it is very safe. I would stick to it, at least till Samsung releases the fix. No harm in being cautious till it is solved.

I just made your whole life much more simpler.
Go to my new rollup sticky thread in the general forum.
Go to the bottom, and you'll find golmar88's bible thread.
In that thread should be all sorts of goodness you seek.
Don't forget that you have to flash froyo bootloaders, then go back to download mode and flash the kernel and roms, or make your own oneclick
I think @FBis251 made one.
I think I just found his.....it was buried in another thread. Its downloading now. Thanks for the link b....gonna read it now
Flashed it 5 times and it wont boot.....any other ideas?
Just an update....after flashing FB's froyi heimdall with no joy.....I went back to GB stock with antonx 1.1.3....this morning I flashed Raverx3x Audiophile Redux with Bali Kernal....and after looking like a bootloop, I pulled the battery and then powered it back on.....it booted into the Rom! Is there anything similar between the two that would allow that to happen?
