Any galaxy gt-i9000 rom

Please reply with any rom from the Galaxy I9000 forum, that you would like to see for the Captivate.
I will either directly port it or I will make a Rom that is almost exactly like it.
I will even take sudgested ideas for a Rom, that I should make.
Just leave you answers below and I will make your wishes come true!

DENAVIL ROM plz, been waiting for a port for some time now... would love it!

You are talking about a real port then? Not just adding glitterball,setiron,xcaliburinhand kernel to an existing rom and calling it ported. We already know how to do that here so you must be ready to tackle something incredible. JI6, that is the only captivate froyo that has ever appeared. Lets see you get it working properly.
Here is what I propose:
1. Bluetooth hardware works properly on ji6 regarding the hardware filter AT&T added. What doesn't work is voice dialing, get that working and we will have near Nirvana in the bluetooth area.
2. reverse engineer the kernel on this (we have no source code) so we can have OC/UV.
3. Add HDSPA support to JI6.
4. Theme the whole thing using Dena's unpublished (except for her ROM) Androdena aurora.
5. Fix the camera app so that the power button can be used to snap a picture.
6. GPS as accurate as di11igaph 3.0 or DG's perception

Great minds think alike. Been running Denavil since it came out using glitterball kernel.
1. download and install Denavill using CWM
2. Install kernel of your choosing (xcaliburinhand and glitterball recommended)
3. install jk4 modem
4. install alternate web browser from DOCS's JPY op.
pretty much works perfectly...

ive been running darkys rom and have been using hardcores kernal, i never thought about trying it with denavil rom... im gonna have to play now lol

Go ahead and have fun with it, customizing is the most fun when it comes to i9000 roms. Me, I personally have mine customized with tons of live wallpapers (fascinate, droid x, sgs, captivate). Anyhow, good talking to you before this thread gets closed and moved...

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Nice rom but I found it to be a bit slow, was I buggin out?

I actually downloaded this rom (I have the Nexus S for AT&T) last night and i'm about to wipe device and flash a new one. The app drawer takes forever to load and it seems like a pretty consistent problem. I have rebooted and done a battery pull and still same issue. Also the theme comes with a custom lockscreen and I have yet to see an option to disable or change it so that I may use widgetlocker. As of right now I have widgetlocker and I have to unlock 2xs along with password which is a pain.
I will say that it is pretty zippy in all aspects. The internet loads very quickly. The apps switch very quickly. When composing text messages the keyboard responds very quicky. The messages send very quickly. However the app drawer not loading is what seals the deal for me. I came from MIUI the latest build is 1.8.26 and had the previous 2 builds before that and I had an issue of my service dropping in and out until I did a reboot. I searched around and there were a handful of others that had the same problem. I love the rom and the ability for customizations however I need my device functioning over beauty.
If others have downloaded this rom, I would love to hear feedback on thier experience on it.

Have you tried v2? It's only recently been released.
It looks and feels great BUT I can't get my wifi to work.
The devs site says the ROM doesn't include radio so I assume this is why my wifi isnt working? I have I9020 and based in UK and KD1 and KB3 don't make the wifi work. Does anyone have any ideas how I can enable wifi?
Thanks

To get your wifi working try downloading a different kernel. The kernel controls the wireless module in the phone. You may want to download a few so if your phone doesn't boot up with one kernel you can also do a battery pull then reboot back into clockwork recovery and try a different kernel. Try a netarchy Cfs 2.3.4 aosp or universal kernel or a matrix kernel. The netatchy cfs 2.3.4 aosp kernel will probably work best. This is in the genexus toolbox on the market for free to download and then you just have to flash through clockwork.

whats wrong with this??

what the hell is going on with this phone, it reboots every 5 min, i just got it from tmobile and since i got it freezes,reboots with no stops!!!!!!!

It's odd you got one acting that way after getting it from the store! I'm surprised they didn't turn it on & test it with you prior to letting you walk out. Regardless, make sure you have a copy of your contacts and any other data you put on there already. If you're synching your contacts with T-Mobile or Google, you're good to go there. Then go into Settings, Prvacy, and select Factory Data Reset.
If you go through that and it's still acting up, I'd take it back and get a replacement.

well to make you the story short,the phone was a replacement from t-mobile i had the samsung vibrant and the phone bricked,they didn't have more vibrants so they send me this one,i install the tw 4.5 launcher,do you thing thats the problem or it can be that i install a kj1 kernel in a kj6 rom???

The KJ1 kernel works fine with the KJ6 ROM. I've not ever changed launchers so I really can't speak to it, but if the phone is up and running then I wouldn't worry too much

If the problem persist, you should called TMO

no is a brand new one,out of the box and everything,but i think is the launcher,because every time i was going to make a change in the theme and then restart the launcher the phone would freeze and reboot by itself,now is not doing it because i haven't make a change so hopefully is that,what rom do you guys recommend me to flash??

I hear good things about Octane & Valhalla Final & Valhalla Black. I've not tried any of them, though.

Wait, so your phone came rooted out of the box?

Moving to Q&A

Assuming you're rather familiar with rooting and everything, why don't you just Odin a GB ROM over the faulty system? Use the 1-Click Gremlin Remover by thomas.raines.
In regards to TW4, I don't recall the SGS4G being able to work with that, but I think I do remember TW4.5. Not sure if there's even a difference.
Use GO Launcher EX. It's practically the best launcher out there now.

[Q] ROM choice?

I was wondering what was a better ROM to use for the Infuse, ZEUS by dman, or the CM7 port?

I was using CM7 and tried Zeus 3, but ended up switching back. I didn't like it. When I saw the 5 version posted, I decided to give Zeus another try. Other than a brief GB stock try, I haven't strayed from what Dman has wrought with Zeus 5.2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

IMO Zeus is the way to go, everything works but HDMI and Dman's 5.2 build is rock solid and it's hard to go wrong with an Infuse native rom!
If you are new to flashing roms, gtg's Infused GB rom has a step by step flash guide HERE

zeus
noob,new to flashing, took a stab ended up choosing zeus. rooted,flashed,odin to stock,"soft-bricked"(dog's fault),Gtg's odin recovery, flashed again(all without posting a single ?, not because I'm smart, but because these devs are!) I love it, am having some wi fi issues i am trying to figure out. Going to try other's, even the dman recommends, just to try, i am sure i will end up running with zeus.
ps dman sent you a donation and a pm(realize now u probably don't read them), but thanks for showing me how much I love my infuse!

I CAN FROM BIONIX TO ZEUS AND it's awsome, no freeze like bionix when you unlock the screen, altough when you get a call, it tends to not responsive on the first swipe, the second try will do it. i think it's lag
i just hope it uses less memory, it's about 200~250 when you start up the phone, so far so good
speaker on both roms sucks. i drive all day and i need speaker to be really loud, both are not load enough for me. anyone have any apps or hacks that turn your speaker up?
try the zeus 5.2 it's awsome
i flashed it over bionix without going stock.

Volume+ in the market works well for me on phone and tablet.

ZEUS is the only way to go, IMO.

I tried Zeus briefly, and if I had spent the time to fix the wifi I can see why so many people like it, but I love the look of CM7, and for my use it's been great, so I went back. If you want a stock rom, would vote Zeus, (might eventually go back to Zeus if bluetooth never gets sorted out on CM7) but CM7 is a solid port, looks good and flashes easy.

Wifi ain't broke bruh... never was, never has been... only thing doesn't work is HDMI.... period...

On my flash, it had issues, and from what I found on the 4000 page Zeus thread, there had been others having the same issue. I gave up trying to find the mentioned fix, sure it was there, just couldn't find it. I had flashed the ICS theme and hadn't liked the changes so I went back to CM7.
Next time I try Zeus, I'll go back to stock first as recommended on your install instructions, I'm sure I'll have better luck. Currently I'm waiting to see if the new old stock Gingerbread pushes Zeus to 5.3

rom review by a newbie user
I try this roms and Im more focused on battery juice and customability options...
Im heavy user not in things like widgets or music or videos, but I do make many calls, use mail and chat by whatsapp.
so I tell you my best (and tried) roms
caty 3.0 the fast in everything (reboot, display etc), perfect battery for smartphone, i have to use it with uckk4 b/c with newers modems no good work for my slow data.
zeus: its almost like caty for me, totally recomend specially for themes.
darkyrom, cool rom, love the touchwiz! customable, has the darky ota, an app that you can use to change thing, its like rom manager but with many options for download.
sauron rom, my current rom, i like it because of the fully customable options in power menu, settings, it is fast like darky, almost the same but with more customable options.
CM7, stable, nice boot animation, have the plus of everything the cyanogen team has to offer in a simple gingerbread launcher.
miui, I like touchwiz! I like it, the music, and themes! its so different and beatifull, but the battery issue its something important to me, the rom its not bad, remember that battery issues exist in all smartphones, but if you are not a heavy user, go for it!
I hope it helps you.
Remember that this review its just a guide, you have to try it by your own and see what it fits, you have to explore the personalizations options.

When you downloaded the darky rom? Did you have version 10.4 and in which case would you upload? I only have version 10.3 didn't realize that there was an update so I never downloaded it. A couple of different users were asking for it, so I looked and realized I didn't have the latest.
Also, because this is a port, the darky ota app does not work with this phone, and I'm PRETTY sure that it's not included... wouldn't work if it was. There's no hellraiser on the go.. lol.
If you look in the last couple pages of boost's MIUI thread, as of 2-15-12 anyway.. then you will see some tips to improve the battery life of MIUI. That should help you..

Before you make your rom final...I myself flashed damm near all the ROMs...gave the wife a headache... lol...
But figured I can honestly say I tried them....my final after many flashes...and lots of the wife rolling her eyes....lol

G2X Discussion Thread (CM Nightly issues, ICS updates, etc.)

Well everyone, since my KANG thread in the development section has become a discussion thread since official CM nightlies started again, I've decided to redirect the discussion to here. I'm going to ask the thread in the development section to be closed, so it can stop taking up space there...instead we'll take up space here! Lol. But anyways I want this to basically be a continuation of the old thread...you can talk about your G2X questions, comments, problems, etc. here. This will be especially geared toward CM-related problems, but all G2X-related topics are welcome here I hope that everyone will continue to help each other out, and of course I'll monitor the thread to help as much as I can and research things if necessary. Enjoy!

This isn't necessarily CM-related but I guess it is in a way. I have been trying out EB's build 1 of ICS and honestly for the most part it works great already. The only big glaring issue (that actually made me revert back to Gingerbread today) was the incoming call problem I've seen reported elsewhere that when you try to answer a call, your ringtone restarts and it doesn't appear to actually pick up.
As for the G2X in general, I'm a firm believer that most common issues have been strictly software-based, which makes the resources we have here on XDA something like miracle workers if you think about it.

As it is always said, it is best to do a full wipe. You never know what issues may stick behind or get caused by not doing a full wipe, but give it a shot and report back and hopefully you don't have issues.

CM Nightly 226/Unnamed & Kernels
Recently transitioned back to CM from MIUI. Anyone try out the newest 226 (unnamed) Nightly yet? I'm still rocking the CM7.1.0.1 Stable, but for kernel flashing purposes, I'm trying to decide on a nightly.
I've used Faux123's UV/OC kernels, but seem to have lost my copy of his v0.4.3 (long term CM7.1.0.1 support). So, the newest v0.4.8 and T15 or ELF Trinity's won't work with mine. I know chip's vary, but mine seems to not like even the ELF Trinity kernel (which has worked for a few peeps running CM7.1.0.1).
Anyway, the breakdown of my ramblings are:
1. Anyone try CM Nightly 226/Unnamed?
2. Anyone happen to have a copy of Faux123's v0.4.3 kernel (CM Battery Version, not the DS driver) lying around? Or a compatible Trinity (preferred, actually)?
Eh, I know #2 is more wishful thinking. I'm mostly interested in anyone's experience with Nightly 226/Unnamed.
Ah, good to be back on XDA and CM, at that. I rolled on MIUI for way too long. Nice GUI & the customization was awesome, but man is that sucker a memory hog! Not to mention the random reboots and screen freezes... I should have never left my good ol' CM. Hindsight and all...

The only issue that I ran into with cm7/cm9 is the low microphone. I know this has been brought up in the past, but has been ignored as well. Some users claimed that it only happen to certain phone, but I'm almost certain that the issue lies within the rom. I do hope someone can shed some lights on this, cause i do miss using CM7.

long story short, i have a wiped g2x. power button is a ***** to turn on to the point that my finger tips are sore from trying to get it to boot into recovery since last night. i can only seem to get 2 different screens trying to do this:
a) the lg boot animation which promtly freezes as the phone has been wiped & i probably haven't held the volume down button
b) the s/w screen used for flashing a recovery, etc
the phone is not mine but trying to help someone out. is there a timing to releasing the buttons? seems that when it goes to the s/w screen, lg appears for only about a second and then straight to that one. any help would be appreciated.
edit: posted it here only because i'd been following the old thread which led me to this one. i was trying to update to the latest while this happened. i started a similar thread in q&a so if it doesn't belong i''ll remove it, thanks

I've been in a loop like this before. Make sure you have done a battery pull. I think the key is not to hold the volume down button so long, and then be patient for recovery to load, it takes longer than expected in this situation.
Good luck.

Ah, you want to talk to me! I just went from CM7.1.0.1 Stable to #225. More stable, much faster than CM7 Stable, #225 really should be CM7.2 Stable.

I agree, this is by far the most annoying bug and the only "show stopper" I can think of on CM7. I do not think it's a 'phone-by-phone' thing, because if I flash to stock or Weapon G2X, my mic volume is fine. It's only on CM/CM-based ROMs, such as MIUI. I can't count the number of times where people have told me to "speak up" until I'm practically yelling into my phone. I think there's a bug with noise cancellation that causes it to be quieter than it should be.
