*Help* ROM Manager - Captivate General

I wanted to flash the ROM on my captivate to some of the selections in the download section. But its not really user friendly for me. Was wanting some tips on how to use it. YouTube didn't provide much also.

ROMManager doesn't have much of a selection for us captivate users
But you have to purchase the premium version to see the downloads and the only ROM available is CM7. If you do decide to get CM7... make sure you go to that thread and double check directions.. instructions for ROMManager installation are in the OP.

So the free version is useless for captivate users.

It's still nice to have, to flash a recovery or manage your backups..or make a backup. ROM Manager is still a great app, but you need the premium version for the CM7 updates and such. From what i hear, other phones actually have more roms to download and stuff. Just not the captivate. Lame sauce I know..

the rom makers here just havent gone to hosting on Rom manager its not that big of a deal. Its not at all necessary unless you want to keep downloading and flashing CWM through there, which you can find in the android dev section.

Rom Manager Premium

So I have the paid (I think) version of Rom Manager and I don't see anything under the Premium part in the Download section. Shouldn't there be some ROMs in there to download? Thanks!

The premium section is usually only for cm nightlies. However cm and team currently do not have anything out for your phone yet. Be patient as they are working on it.

The premium section will be for more than just "nightlies". Just be patient, the phone is still relatively new and when you see more aosp roms start to come out im sure the premium section will fill up quickly.
Thanks for the quick responses!! I was just trying to figure out if I had the full version or missing something. Since I just paid for it, I haven't used that feature before and wasn't sure if I was supposed to be seeing something. Thanks again!
I have a question regarding the premium version as well. I recently purchased it, it says I have the licence in my applications menu, and says Rom Manager Premium at the top of the main Rom Manager screen, however I have noticed a few things that dont seem right.
1. When I click on "check for Rom updates" id doesnt do anything at all, is this normal?
2. If I go to the settings and click on device ID, it tells me "Kucebse Retrieval Error". Is there something else I am supposed to do?
I have Rom Manager Premium v4.3.0.1
and License v1.0.7 I think it was
and Clockwork Mod 3.1.0.2
Is there something I am missing?

1st- We try to keep these kind of questions in the general section. The "Development" section is for actual roms, hacks, and mods. It gets kinda confusing, I know.
2nd- Rom Manager needs clockworkmod to work. As of right now It is not working for the sgs4g. As previously stated they are working on it.
3rd- There are no real "rom's" to speak of yet ported to our device. There are a couple in this section that are basically stock rom updates.
I would read ALLOT before starting to mod your phone. This will get you started, and you can read how to use odin in the vibrant section, just remember do not flash anything from that section.
Thank you and will do

As far as I know, there was really only one true CWM -flashable modem available, and I thought that was EC05 because it came with an official release. I think all the other 'leaked' modems have to be Odin'd, but I'm not 100% on that one.
I was able to see a a bunch of files listed yesterday. Now all I'm getting when selecting the categories is "Empty Directory" ("Noting available at this time").
Where the files removed or is this an issue with my app/connection?

Ok. Now I see items on the list again. But, I didn't see anything when I tried this morning up until about 5 minutes ago. Same thing happened yesterday (and the day before?).
"Install Theme" had no items listed. Neither did any other categories. Anyhow, it seems to be ok now, but just wondering if there are any issues with my app or connection that may be causing this.
Thanks.
Maybe it was being updated...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
That's what I was thinking. Thanks John. Guess I'll post again if this happens more often.
If it's being updated, then it's being updated all the time. 9/10 times that I check for roms, kernels, modems etc etc etc it tells me nothing could be found. Just tried again, 15 seconds after I got an empty report and I see things.
Seems like a bug to me.

[Q] flashing cm7

This is pretty much the only rom I haven't tried yet. I read about 10 pages on the dev page but Im just not 100% sure how to flash this rom. I'm currently running miui with blue recovery, so I'm good there. I've already downloaded the latest build according to the dev page, but I have no idea what gapps or whatever is. I read that I can download them in rom manager, I checked it out but there's like 10 versions. Do I flash the Google app then cm7?

With blue CWM recovery you should be able to flash CM7 with a normal flash in CWM. If you boot loop, pull battery and reflash. The gapps is all the google apps you need, Cyanogen can't include google apps in the Rom. If you download gapps through rom manager, pick the latest one. I actually downloaded gapps from the Cm7 wiki. (the link for it is in the OP for Cm7 Rom) Flash the rom first THEN gapps and you should be good.

Ya thats what I meant by normal flash lol. I know when flashing from red you need to format but, I can't remember if I did so when flashing from CM7 to MIUI or if its needed. You can try it without, and if it doesn't work then format, just make a backup before you do. I just remember the format system part is before you flash the zip a second time after a battery pull.

I did a normal flash and it worked fine but the latest version of Google apps doesnt match the latest cm7 build. I tried it anyways but I did work, no Google apps appreared, so I went back to miui.us. I guess ill have to wait for an update.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
MIUI comes with the market which is really all you need ( you can download the rest from the market) CM7 is what needs gapps, best way to get these is from the rom thread, he's got a link in the OP somewhere.

Did you flash gapps through rom manager or cwm? I had to mess with that for a while and could only get it to work when flashing through cwm (blue). Worth the effort though. This is my favorite rom and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all. A lot of them anyways.

I'm switching between Validus and Liquid Smooth. Both are very smooth with lots of customization. Both have very active G+ communities.
You can always root, install a custom recovery and try a ROM. Just backup your stock ROM and you can always switch back. Takes like maybe three minutes to reinstall a backup.
Sent from my SM-T310 using xda app-developers app
If you want the official update for kikat when it comes out, then find the official stock rom and keep in a safe place. When u hear that the update was released use titanium backup back up your apps, then flash the stock and it will say your device is offical and let you update. Once updated, go into download mode and flash twrp. Twrp will root your device. Once rooted, reinstall titanium backup, restore your apps. WHEN USING TITANIUM BACKUP ONLY BACKUP USER APPS AND DATA ONLY. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS, it causes problems and makes things crash, its not pretty( I did it ). There you have it. run stock rooted with the newest official update. Of course you could just flash a custom kikat rom that would be easier.
