Froyo is not worth using right now. JIT does not work right and there is no froyo kernel for the captivate. Try using I9000 rom.

Well I do I get a 3d app trap is that a froyo thing? And is the I9000 worth the bugs?

Froyo will be officially released for the captivate in a couple weeks.
your better off just waiting for that.

If I do the standard froyo update will I still have super user access?

Are you sure you want to upgrade to Froyo right now? Given the nature of your questions, you would likely be much better off waiting until an official, supported 2.2 update is pushed out OTA, or at least a stable/community supported rom.

Does your bluetooth have bad static when using it. I tried the JM2 and JM5 ROms and using the Captivate kernel with it and people on the other end couldn't even hear me.
I went back to the Captivate ROM and no issues at all.

Anyway you guys could direct me to somewhere I could read up on the info I need to understand flashing roms and what they do for me. Also when I upgrade to froyo rom or official will I still have super user access.

On the xda app just back out of this thread and section. Select the captivate android development section. Select the stickies tab. Its the first tab. Says eclair and froyo rom.

[Q] Captivate 2.2 [Official] Lag problems

Just finished installing the official 2.2 release on my Captivate (problem free). Before installing I backed up everything to my SD card via titanium, then removed the lag fix, and did a hard reset / format using the dialer code, verified everything was wiped and all the internal storage was wiped clean (although MCR scripts and superuser didn't go away).
first reaction, THE LAG IS HORRIBLE. hoping it was a result of crapware, I rooted via SuperOneClick, reinstalled Titanium from the market, and removed all the ATT crapware, rebooted, and it is no better.
I've restored my apps and everything except facebook contact syncing seems to be working great, but the lag is awful! often I wait 3, sometimes 5 seconds before a screen click is even recognized.
are there any lag fixes that have been tested on, or at least suggested for the official 2.2 release?

what lagfix did u use

I assume you are referring to the one used on 2.1, I don't remember the name, but it used MCR Scripts and was installed with an update.zip. once installed you ran MCR Scripts and "installed" the lag fix with 2 options, either 512mb or 1gb of space, and a third option to remove the lagfix
I ran the remove option before doing the upgrade

I thought I read that voodoo didn't work with 2.2, only 2.2.1

I'm running stock 2.2 with no lag. I formatted my external sd and that fixed my initial lag problem

If i understand you, you had lag problems after upgrading to 2.2, and then resolved them by formatting the external (removable) sd card?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I just upgraded and it seems very snappy to me. It's not my everyday phone anymore so I don't have a SIM or external SD in but from just fooling around with it for about a half hour it moves nicely! About to root now and remove the bloatware

That was solved months ago. Go to the dev section, download the 5.x voodoo + stock KB1 kernel odin file, and flash it on. Phone will take a while to boot back up, but will tell you it is converting partitions to ext4. Once it comes back, you will see the amazing speedup from getting rid of the piece of **** known as RFS.

Is there anyway I can get lagfix by itself? I have no computer so id just like to download to phone, put in root and goto recovery mode.

Reading does wonders for problem solving.

Yes hello I can read. I have NO COMPUTER to run odin on. Is it really that hard to not be a smartass and help someone out???? Really??? If Im still asking obviously im overlooking it. ONCE AGAIN I HAVE NO COMPUTER SO ODIN IS OUT OF THE QUESTION
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

If its that much of a lag, then something didn't load right. I'm on stock 2.2 wirth no lag. Its just about as fast as oclf. But, if you read the [official] froyo update thread, people kind brush on what ideas to try. Most of them say, like I said, something want loaded right. Good luck.

Honestly if there's nobody posting to help u out....that means u should probably find a computer to use

No ones answering because a search with one word gives him the info he needs. He just refuses to read and wants the info handed to him on a silver platter.

Respect goes along way in these forums. How did you expect people to reply to this? Everyone understands you have no pc. Yelling is going to get you no where. The hour you spent waiting for a reply, could have been used to do a search for it, find it and do it.

Ok so....i found the
voodoo 5 stable for 2.2.1 yes I know I only have 2.2
downloaded it
renamed it
put it in /sdcard
rebooted to recovery with CWM clicked reinstall packages
Went through its process and said it failed..could not verify or something. Is this not the way to do it? I did it on 2.1 same way w/eclair approved voodoo and it worked just fine. And I apologize for getting upset its just a little tedious doing all this searching on a small phone screen.

Froyo uses 3e recovery I believe so it will not install any update.zips the only way I know of is using an alternate recovery...a kernel with 2e recovery or going the custom rom route like torch 1.5 or cog 4 in the dev section which use the new froyo

And for your no computer issue...i suggest you find mcdonalds or a neighbor and use the wifi and download one of those custom roms directly to your phone that have a lagfix included with root and no bloat. I do this all the time when I am in the field. Just some suggestions I hole they help and I understand your frustration.

2.1 roms/kernels compatible with clockworkmod3 ?

Does anybody know wich if any kernels are compatible with clockworkmod3? I have returned to stock eclair and am trying to flash just a kernel to stock but am having no luck. I thought maybe using an old version of clockwork to get it to work but I cant seem to get my phone rooted with anything but cwm3. If i cant flash just a kernel.....is bakedsnack or syndacite rom flashable through cwm3? Im really stuck here. I keep getting errors and failed attempts with all older versions of clockwork.

None, and wrong place for this (Hint: Q/A)

Yea I should have posted it in the q n a section. Didn't occur to me till after I posted , lol. So someone kindly move it please. But anyways , what version of clockwork can I use to flash just a kernel?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

For stock eclair, DI18, I would use clockwork 2.5.5. This supports rfs as to where cwm 3 supports EXT4 which is different. Not to be rude, but how did you miss the Q&A section?

Didn't miss it. I'm aware its there ,lol. I just wasn't thinkin about it when postng. I should just exclusivley post there lol since all my posts are usually questions. Ok though , so to flash a kernel I do so the sameway as a rom?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yes, as long as it has been put in a flashable zip.
Currently, there are no kernels for 2.1 that have been modded to support ext4, but there is no reason that it can't be done.
I have also posted instructions several times on how to manually install a different clockwork, but the search is down at the moment.

well i see theres a camera fix with the genocide kernel.....can i use cwm3 on froyo to flash?

Wow well I finally got cw2.5 to work and flashed eb13 back and the genoice kernel. This phone is actually pretty epic now. Awesome.

EC10 Voodoo Kernel

So I was just browsing in the Fascinate's android development forum and saw this title: EC10 Voodoo Kernel.
They haven't been heavily tested, but IRC seems relatively content with them. Mind you, these were never meant for the Fascinate, but the Mesmerize.

So I hope these do work, I'm doing a nandroid backup now to test it I will update once done.
Link to post: here
Update: I just installed the Voodoo kernel, cleared my dalvik and cache, and rebooted. It took forever and there is an silver "android" logo ontop of our USCC banner (if your still running the stock boot animation) but it boots just fine I have had no boot loops, I reenabled Voodoo lagfix and got the following scores with a slight response speed up.
Quadrant: 1601, 1435, 1569, 1559
I'm going to leave it the scores are like 150 more than before so I guess I'll take it until the full Voodoo kernel built off source comes out.

Its the same on we have already just for fascinate

Do not flash stuff from their forum. The EC10 voodoo kernel was built to be generic for this specific purpose, plus it was built off of our source so it works fine. IF you start flashing their other kenel's you will drop off us cellular's service and be in a whole heap of trouble, and no nandroid's don't always bring you back to normal.
be patient and only flash what's been recommended, if you start going off the chart's don't expect help from us as we have warned you .
EC10 voodoo kernel posted by JT yesterday/today does in fact work on our phone, we're not sure if the market will see us as verizon or not but it seems everything else is compatible. Stay tuned!

well good thing this is the only thing i jumped on then. thanks for the heads up as always greatly appreciated!

The only stuff NOT built from the mesmerize source drop is the rfs drivers. Feel free to use the kernels folks

[Q] CWM Stock Froyo Rom

I have searched the threads and cannot find any cwm flashable stock Froyo roms. When I got my phone I immediately put gingerbread on it and I would like to have a cwm stock rom to try out. I have the Odin ones that are posted but I can't customize them the way that I want to. If anyone has a link for one or can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Nope theres no cmw stock roms that i know.
Whats the difference in customization terms between cmw or Odin ones? You can also open the odin file with a zip manager and modify it within the original file. Also... if you mean in terms of framework or something like that you can do it within the phone.
Unless im wrong theres nothing "extra" you can do with a cwm file that you cant do with an Odin rom.

I figured that there was no cwm roms available. With having a cwm rom it is just a personal preference for me so that I can work on it on my computer, thats all.

Bionix has a cwm froyo rom ...its mostly stock...and infuse 1.6 also
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

I have tried the other froyo roms. I was just looking for full stock froyo rom though. I am really surprised that no one ever posted one. O well

Wevas devs are concentrating on gingerbread and ICS
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Ya, I understand that. If you read the original question that I posted, I asked if anyone knows where I can get a cwm stock froyo rom. I did not ask anyone to make one. I completely understand that there isnt one. I am fine with that. If you were really concentrating on gingerbread and ics you shouldnt be in a thread that has to do with Froyo.
