Hello,
I would like to run a custom ROM for my Rogers Froyo 2.2 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate.
I have already rooted, printed Rogers APN settings and backed up using TitaniumBackup, but want to know the best way to update to Mosaic V.
Perhaps there are other Rogers users(I'm in Toronto area) that prefer other ROM's...I would love to hear your suggestions.
I'm mainly looking for reliable GPS, faster response and stable.
I appreciate any help.
thanks!
Martin
well I'm not sure what differences there are between rogers and att captivate, but once I rooted and backed up I just rebooted into CWM and install whichever rom I downloaded to my phone. I'm using CM7, the RC that just came out.

Is anyone working on making the recently released for Canadians Sammy Froyo ROMs rooted and repackaged (without bloatware and ready to flash from clockwork) available for AT&T Captivate owners?
already exists but im not sure if either is an official version. we have a telus t959 rom in perception 9.x
there are also a couple bell i9000m jk3 roms including earlier versions of perception. i dont think a jk4 rom has been cooked up but the original is there.
the latest telus rom should work with just a kernel or maybe even using the button remapper app in the market.
kernels are available in the dev section.
Perception/Cognition != Samsung Froyo.
I'd prefer to keep my phone as close to stock as possible, I'll take any Captivate-adapted Samsung ROM without bloatware, even if I'd have to re-root it.
So I'm guessing everyone is into customizing and nobody is looking into getting stock roms for Captivates?

I actually prefer the stock roms for the captivate. I used to flash new roms every couple of days, but really I found one thing or another I didn't like about them.
So here's to hoping our official froyo is not far off.

Same here.............last night I decided to flash the Froyo Leak from DG, root and sideload it. I forgot how great the battery life was on my phone with AT&T ROM's. Moderate use and I was at 62% with 16 hours use.
Now if I could just find the stock lock that will work for JI6 and some more minors tweaks.
Update for Samsung vibrant is available for t-mobile using kies. If upgrade unlocked Samsung vibrant using kies to froyo 2.2, will it lock the phone again?
No, it will not.
I have recently done the same thing.
I am using my Vibrant on AT&T as we speak with stock 2.2
I would still recommending using a custom rom though, I am testing stock and it has occasional lag spikes, which I cannot explain. And I have not found a reliable lag fix for stock 2.2 yet.

Yes I agree with whoever is above me.
Stock shouldn't mess anything like that up, but there is a possibility. I would recommend using a custom rom also.
As a noob what would you recommend as a decent safe custom ROM?
I just bought my first Android phone, the Samsung Captivate on the Rogers (Canada) network.
I immediately updated the firmware via kies to 2.2.
Now I'm looking into custom ROMS because the lag is still and issue with 2.2 it seems.
Can I install ROMS like cognition on the Rogers Captivate even though it was an AT&T ROM?
If not, what are the best rogers custom ROMS?
Another thing, do I need to do the GPS fix with 2.2?
If you're mostly happy with the stock 2.2 you can easily get a lagfix through flashing a kernel..
As for custom roms, any of them should work on rogers as well as AT&T. There's guides on xda for how to flash back to stock using odin and then getting a custom rom. I haven't needed the GPS fix...running Serendipity 5.12.
I'm running Paragon 6 using the Rogers Captivate and I couldn't be happier. I have tried many roms and paragon was the one that I stuck with, if you flash some roms give paragon a try. The only problem with flashing custom roms is most likely you will lose your i896 boot screen and will get the at&t one. But there are ways to get your i896 boot screen back if you need to take your phone in for warrenty work. Happy flashing.

Thanks both of you.
One quick question.
I was reading one post about a guy flashing a ROM on his phone and could no longer use his Rogers SIM card because the rom was based off AT&T?
Did he do something wrong, should I not have to worry about this?
Err, after Googling around, I've read that after you update to the Froyo firmware via kies, it deletes your unlock code, am I going to run into problems here?
I have never had that problem, but I can't say for sure. There is a galaxy unlock program available for free in the market that can unlock your Rogers Captivate. Its called "Galaxy S Unlock." So if you do lose your unlock just re-unlock it using the above app.

Thanks a lot, that worked, I'm unlocked.
I also was successful at installing Paragon 6.0
So glad I didn't get the iPhone 4 now
At the risk of ridicule, here goes; I just changed from DX running Liberty Rom to the latest Galaxy Nexus LTE from Verizon running the latest IC. I can't seem to find a custom rom compatible with this device. I've attempted "codename android" 1.5.5 and 1.6. to no avail. I like the APEX but don't think it's compatible with my OS. Looking for a good compatible rom further customize.
Thanks!
Well, after absolutely no help from the forum, I figured it out on my own. I guess most here forget that they too were noobs at one time. I'll try to be a little more helpful than what I've received this far.
i am looking to find this rom, [ROM] Killer23d's Doc_V4 Final XXJPU + JL3 modem for Captivate Froyo 2.2.1. i recently used one click back to JF6 plus master clear i have a captivate an live in canada. i have a rogers sim but i cant get onto the network now or in very few select places. so i am wondering if that rom will help fix my problem or if there are any suggestions on maybe flashing dif modems? thanks for any help
