Stock Froyo or Gingerbread ROMs?

Do any stock Froyo or Gingerbread ROMS exist for the Captivate? I see all of these aftermarket ROMS posted but I don't like all the themes or added programs they come with. I just want a stock ROM.

There is AT&T stock 2.2 and Rogers stock 2.2 depending on which Captivate you have.
2.3 has not been released for the Galaxy S. It was leaked for the i9000, but that ROM isn't working yet. The only real 2.3 ROM for the Captivate is CM7 which is not yet stable.

Stable from a programmer's standpoint isn't the same thing as stable from a user's standpoint. CM7 is not yet stable.

Yeah, I'm running CM7 right now and it's stable, but definitely still has some bugs. Feature wise, it seems packed, but some of the bugs I am experiencing are QUITE irritating for daily use.

Which is exactly why it's not a stable ROM yet, in addition to a few things under the hood.
But let's not get too off topic, the OP wants stock ROMs.

Seriously? If you want a stock ROM then just use the one available from your carrier. Cognition 4 is as close as a custom ROM can be to stock, but minus the bloatware and it has some minor performance tweaks. This place isn't in the business of creating "stock" ROMs.

For stock like feel, i'd recommend one of two roms. Andromeda 1.2 (unthemed) or Cog 4.1. Andro is based off of the Armani Captivate 2.2 and the devs did a fantastic job of making it somewhat minimal and still has all the goodies. They also added a few other nice touches. Cog is based off of official ATT 2.2 with the bloatware gone and lagfix installed. It is also very nice but didn't hold my attention the way Andro does. As was already mentioned CM7 is ok for people that know how to trouble shoot their phones and can deal with the bugs. It's NOT meant for people new to their phones and flashing.

AT&T hasn't pushed an update for the Captivate. Even if they did it would still be loaded with crapware that slow the phone down.
So, it's impossible to get a stock rom easily?

The update came from Samsung and not ATT. The easiest way to get a "stock rom" is to use keis to do the update. Yes it will come with all the bloat from ATT. If you dont want the bloat then there are ways to remove them, gone over many times in the forum which you would have found had you done a search.
As for Stock Gingerbread roms, well to be honest we will most likely not see an ATT stock gingerbread as the 2.2 update is most likely the only one we will get through official channels

What you just described IS THE STOCK ROM.

The most up to date stock rom you can get is 2.2 from Samsung Kies which can be downloaded here: samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT.
This also includes the usb drivers. Just connect your phone to your computer and update.

Sorry cant post the actual link I'm new

Here is a guide that pretty much tells you how to do almost anything on your captivate. Only a couple things like flashing a custom rom are excluded.

I'm not sure mintyfresh26 knew about samsung kies at the time of this post. It's not a big deal.

He should just install Cognition 4. It's probably what he wants.

Great news and betters roms are coming

yes but now we'll have the kernel source code!

Wrong section bro. btw ya really good news...also my GB with sense 2.1 odex nand fit version is done will upload it soon...after first boot data partition has 110Mb for apps data...

I believe 10 days ago HTC announced Desire won't be getting Gingerbread, because of memory problems.

@htrx, they said htc will remove some of the app so they can fit GB.
Great news, if we get more out of the official version.

And 9 days ago they retracted that statement following a massive rollocking by the community

great news i think
Hope for a better kernel (and for snq´s extras on this)
also for better radio, ril, wifi..and battery
with kind regards..Alex

"Exciting" news for the ones not rooted LOL

Reading the above statement correctly though just says they will be announcing when the update will be coming next week. So for all we know they could say GB for Bravo will come next year!

Biblically epic! Just remember to exclude that bloatware you are always including in your ROMs...

My phone is rooted, and i have GB already, but this official+Our dev's edits will rock in the air, i mean no bugs at all...

Mmmm...
I think you'll find the only thing of interest are the Kernels... anyone who wants Gingerbread on their device has had it for months... they sure aren't going to add any Sense 3 stuff either which I've been enjoying for a long time. Good job we have techy wizards in this community who know how a ROM should be put together

But it will be a proper Desire GB rom, not a patched together mix of other Roms. I havent switched back to a sense rom due to this.
Im happy with Redux, but with a proper Desire GB Rom Ill be interested

+1 for this, i know what you mean...essentially all hd gb sense are based on rcmixhd or neo´s rom...(include mine..as i have not the time to patch the hd rom complete to make it work for desire)
and if we get it...it´s make/done for desire...so i think it have better performence..
with kind regards...Alex

I would love to see this rom somewhere in XDA, stock GB from htc on the desire

Sense ROMs

Is anyone still interested in running a usable sense rom on g1 or mt3g? Like eclair or froyo sense? I just want to find out the interest level before I start any projects.

We have eclair sense, What about Froyo sense? There are better kernels for froyo for 32B whereas there is only one buggy kernel for eclair.

I found a froyo sense rom that can maybe be ported from mt3g slide.

Its a stock OTA release. Its actually an espresso rom.

More than likely it is in the init files in the boot.img, it probably does not have a init.trout.rc file which calls/loads the wifi Also will have to swap out the firmware file and config from the /system/etc/wifi.

I'll look into it. I think gingerbread sense would be awesome if it is fast enough. I think it maybe a problem on G1 tho, just for the fact of the limited RAM.

I've always looked upon sense roms as 'Plastic' roms (meaning not to be taken seriously) I really don't mean to be rude or to offend but they break BT, backlights (I know there are 'work arounds') and camcorder! I have a phone for it's features not to flash a rom to kill them. What is the big attraction with all the sense roms popping up and with the time and effort being put into them?
And I do understand variety is the spice of life and all I just don't get sense roms

I have a theory on how to make the Bluetooth work and everything else but I'm not a kernel guy.

I did all that, it has to do with the libhardware_legacy.so file. It thinks the WLAN driver is something like tiwlan_drv.ko but hex editing it will make it work with WLAN.ko. I tried but can't get it to work. Maybe asking a hero dev will help?

Anyway, the kernels we use on our sense roms right now are really for AOSP or stock android. We don't use HTC kernels with our HTC Sense roms. So: maybe if we took the HTC Magic's (32A) eclair kernel source and made it work for 32B, then everything else would work (bluewooth, native USB mount, HTC Sync)

Sure If its fast, small, compact and doesnt drain battery ...

Well, the kernel will be from 32A to 32B, so I think everything would be okay.

Thunderbolt and Ice Cream Sandwich

HTC said they will be upgrading as many phone as possible to ICS, how would they upgrade us to ICS if we don't even have Gingerbread yet?

My guess would be upgrade to gingerbread, then ice cream sandwich. But seriously, "as many as possible, while slowly pushing the thunderbolt under the rug." With as many problems as they've had, i'm not holding my breath for an official release. I'm sure the devs will give us a better version though.

I thought we had Gingerbread already .. even though VZW still has a few bugs to work out?

The update was pulled. Root and flash a custom. There, most up to date you can be.

I know the Liquid team is working on a port even this early(source for ics is unreleased). Aside from that team bamf will probably give it a shot too.

True that, a port is a best chance to see ICS anytime soon for the tbolt. I am sure our devs will make it happen...

Have you looked into Synergy ROM? The thread states it is at 3.0 but it has taken a leap to 3.5 in the last few days. It's sweet and smooth.
UPDATE: The tread now shows Sense 3.5.

Quick question. Is this Ginger bread 2.3, Froyo 2.2, or Eclair 2.1?

Given the market icon that represents android 2.1, I'd wager it's just a modified stock rom...could be me, but wasn't this done more than enough times already? Like almost 2 years ago? Android 2.1 is completely obsolete and nobody really wants it anymore...plus, liquidsense and nfx are already the best 2.1 roms out there...nothing can really be done to improve on them...OP, why not just use Android 2.3? I could just ruu and root if I wanted this

Holy Miracle Batman! It's alive! (Been trying to flash ROMs all week trying to revive this HERO from the dustbin...all other ROMs have been stuck at the HTC screen and bootlooping.)
Thanks for making a ROM that works for my HERO...now I got music at the gym! Just in time too...3 minutes to spare!

That's good job man. Ive been wanting to learn how to do this stuff but i just never get around to it.
You took a step in the right direction. Keep up the good work.

good to have another stock rom easily accessible, thanks for this

Multilingual ?
Does this rom support Multilingual?
Thanks

hey money,
if you want to reduce rom size, offer anything non-system essential in an optional update.zip. i see from screenshots you have pacman and nba, those could be offered in a separate zip. if you need any help at all doing this, feel free to ask, and ill help as much as possible. keep up the good work, i know you will go far.
maybe also if we feel froggy we can adapt aroma to your rom and let users choose exactly what they want and dont want?
also i see your on cellular south, maybe offer a separate update.zip for a sprint fix? this would include mms.apk from a sprint stock rom, sprint eri.xml, and telephony.db from a sprint rom. that way both carriers are supported.
