Hello,
I've read all I can here. Sorry if its been posted before. I love the Cognition ROMs and am keen to try out HSUPA (JG8 modem?) on one of the more recent versions.
The lower pings and faster upload is so tempting. Looks like the Geomod ROM will break bluetooth streaming / phone calls which I also need.
Anyone done this - and had any luck? Any guides on how to do this - how to enable and find different bands (850Mhz, etc..) and how to return to stock modem (JPP) as needed? ....
Ideally I'd like to switch modems... JG8 vs JPP with my Cognition ROM.
Thanks anyone who might have advice!

Please search within the Captivate sub-forums to find the answer to this question. It has been discussed in great detail already, and there are quite a few step-by-step guides floating around.
Just to point you in the right direction though: To get HSUPA working with any 2.2 ROM (at least so far) you need to flash the JG8 modem FIRST before any other modem interacts with FroYo. This "enables" the 850 MHz band which you will need if you plan on using 3G w/ AT&T in America. Then you can flash the HSUPA enabled modem of your choice after (I prefer JPP, but others will work). Also, it's worth noting that i9000 radios (which all of the HSUPA enabled ones are) tend to play better with i9000 kernels. Meaning that if you are running cognition, you may want to switch to a i9000 kernel to go with the i9000 radio you are trying to install.
Happy searching!
After much reading, searching, study and experiment I'm reasonably sure you can't get hsupa AND bluetooth working on a captivate rom, like cognition. I've only been able to get both on an i9000 rom.
Using doc's for cappy by mikeymike with the setiron kernel. Both work, the bluetooth not always well. The unfortunate part of this one is that wired headsets are fubar. Don't work at all. Other than that, the rom works great.
You NEED an i9000 reorient kernel (not ROM) for voice. As you noted, data works fine, but wait till you make a call.
You can pair cognition with an i9000 kernel, however, you may have weird bugs.
Best option is to use i9000 ROM + i9000 reorient kernel + i9000 modem, all froyo.
Jg8 is eclair and only used temporarily to enable 850 mghz.

Hey all, first post here. Currently I'm interested in the Rogers Galaxy S Captivate (seem to be a million different versions of the galaxy which is quite confusing). Beyond a few basic reviews/unboxings I can't really find much information on this phone. Without doing a long drawn out post I'll cut to my questions quick (I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong forum and the noobish questions):
- What are peoples general experiences with this phone? Loves and hates?
- Froyo support, is there an official Froyo build from rogers or is it limited to 3rd party ROMs etc?
- When it comes to 3rd party ROMs etc, just how mod-able is this phone?
- Is WiFi tethering possible/available with a 3rd party ROM?
Thanks ahead of time.
1) random shutdown issue with one of my phones. GPS problem with second. Third was fine (GPS/no shutdowns) but the build is "creaky". GPS is really fast and accurate and no problems. Battery lasts decent, depends how much you have the screen on for. Right now I can last 4 hours on idle with wifi/3G on and lose maybe 1%. Of course, nothing is really going on.
2-4 No clue yet. Haven't flashed. Kind of waiting for Froyo release from Rogers.
bought a captivate directly from rogers the day it came out off-contract. GPS worked perfectly, even weeks after, navigation and all still locked fast and accurately. However, as far as I am concerned, the 2.2 froyo release by rogers is still not out..so i rooted the phone through download mode with a .zip (took 5 seconds), and since then, have flashed every rom you could imagine. All running great, the phone has restart once..randomly, but other then that, battery life and all has been super good. Haven't had any problems, so i'd say it's pretty good if you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask. and btw, wifi tethering is possible, at least with froyo on any of the main 3rd party roms.
Wifi tethering was in stock rom just so you know. Go into wifi settings
I think you should be okay since you're getting it much later than most other people... I think I'm included as well. I had the shutdown problem but a factory reset fixed it, so I think it was just a software issue on my end. GPS is still spotty, works great and accurately but sometimes doesn't. I also have the slight problem with search popping up randomly, but I am not too bothered by that.
Otherwise it's fine, I love this phone. Everyone is so intrigued when I pull it out.

In general, the phone is really quite good. The Rogers stock GPS doesn't have the issues that the AT&T GPS appears to have, but the modem is HSDPA not HSUPA so upload speed is limited to around 300-400 Kbps and download is limited to around 5Mbps max). Rogers also don't put on a load of bloatware which is really quite nice. Stock Rogers phone even comes with tethering enabled (USB or WiFi using MyAP). With my phone I can't really say I had any "Hates"..a few minor annoyances, such as
- the contact groups (in stock) never syncs the Google Groups
- the calendar app has no "conference call" option, I had this on my OpenEtna phone

No official Froyo support as yet. Rogers saying early 2011. Froyo is only available in custom ROMs based on a leaked ROM and now also based on the GT-i9000 (e.g. Galaxy S "Vibrant" from Bell...as well as some stuff from the Telus "Fascinate" too), as there are official Froyo builds for that (which are not without their own problems too).

Very easy, particularly from rogers as they have not prevented you from loading software in any way, so you can simply download z4root or oclf or the like, directly to your phone from it's browser and run it locally to root your phone. There are a few ways to install the ROMs but they are mostly detailed in their own announcement threads and pretty much cover the bases. There is also a ROM installer HowTo in the QnA or Question section of the Samsung Captivate forum.

All of the ROMs that the Chefs put out are really quite good. It mostly comes dow to a personal preference. One thing to be aware of is the ROM limitations. These are usually listed in their announce thread too:
Note that if you want HSUPA (up to 5.6 Mbps up/7.4 Mbps down) then you need one of the i9000 based modems. You can often put different modems from different ROMs into your own phone, but there are some limitations. The modem should come from the same build (e.g. don't put a 2.1 modem in a 2.2 ROM), some modems are HSDPA only (e.g. the Rogers and AT&T based ones) and that the modem bin is used for more than modem processing, it appears to be used in DSP so it affects that voice call handling. With some modems as a result, you may not be heard on a voice call..so test. It's not to big a deal as you can easily swap out a modem for another.
Cogntion and Perception are ROMs both by DesignGears. I liked them both but couldn't get the combination of features I wanted (which they NOW have) and I couldn't get hold of DesignGears to provide me with his set-up for compiling the kernal (one of the few chefs that compiles his own kernels...most use kernels from other people). To my thinking Perception is more "active" than Cognition leading to cognition being (considered by some) more stable...but it's just a matter of preference. I think that Cognition is not capable of HSUPA but Perception is...though withough checking I may have that the wrong way around.
Axura 2.5 is what I am currently running, though there will be no more development on the "old" Axura because AdamHolden, the latest Axura chef received too many negative comments for his liking and quit. He is starting a new ROM with a team rather than as an individual (see here).
I hear good comments about Assonance, but haven't tried it since using Axura as it fit all my needs.
There are also many others. Just take a browse through the "Captivate Android Development" forum and you will see a number of [ROM] threads. Take a quick read of atleast the first 3-4 posts on the thread as those are used to identify the current version, features, state and issues.

I love my SGS. Feels very snappy with some tweaking and a different launcher, battery life is 24-48 hours with average usage (again with some settings tweaks). No GPS or Shutdown issues on my side and I bought the phone when it was first available. A few people at my work have the phone and I've heard no issues with it at all. One tiny issue I have seen is that some texts seem to come in with an incorrect time stamp. They seem to be about 5 hours off. This can be easily fixed with a simple app so I don't even think about it anymore.

As has been mentioned before, no Froyo yet but that's pretty standard for Rogers. On the plus side there is a Gingerbread ROM being made which looks very sexy in the I9000 forums by supercurio and others.

I rooted my phone in a matter of minutes with z4 root, very simple, one click. I have tried to lag fix my device using oclf but it failed. I know it's not the phone though since a friend of mine has the same phone and his works great. If you like quadrant stats, he's right up there. I personally haven't used any ROM's yet but I will be in the near future. From what I can see there are a lot of ROM's available and it seems like a pretty simple process.

Haven't bothered, I don't need it so I don't know.
I definitely recommend this phone
No issues for a (relatively) simple user that just wants froyo. Love how un-branded rogers left this phone compared to my SE dumbphones and whatnot.
Never tried thethering (as i have no idea how much data i have left)
GPS Test gets a lock within 15 or so seconds with 50ft accuracy (lowers down to around 30 after a bit)
I think i had one of the newer batches (purchased from corporate - early December)
Thanks a lot for the replies all! Looks like i'll be hopping one the Captivate wagon pretty soon.
nevermind, my mistake.
The Captivate is amazing with Rogers, my wife and I both have one and they are fast, solid build, and just a joy to use.
If you want to see a video of mine, just search on youtube "gunstar1981"
Its a really great phone, hope you get yours soon!
Have been wanting to flash a custom rom for a while (rooted with unleash the beast, I know it's ancient) on 2.1, had been planning on DG's Cognition (was just updated to 4.3), but also came across Continuum v4, which looks great. Was leaning more towards Cognition, figuring it'd be more stable based on KB1, but not hearing any complaints from people using Continuum. Any downside I'm wondering to going with Continuum, as it's I9000 based 2.2.1? Thanks.
Edit: Now may be leaning more towards Cognition now that it's been updated (I think it was the Continuum theme that was luring me in)
not sure about continuum but it may have refernces to a nonexistant camera being from the i9000. not sure but i think all the newer roms have that fixed. really the only downfall of i9000 roms is that some people claim the att roms have better call quality because they use a different method of noise reduction, im not sure if that is proven and i havent run an att rom in a while, i do notice having more problems hearing people than when i bought the phone but i didn't notice it imediately upon flashing an i9000 rom so it is not a good observation. but the i9000 roms offer hsupa (over rated unless you tether and open alot of webpages at te same time) and a bit better benchmarks and maybe a little smoother.
neither is a bad choice and cognition has all the important mods like voodoo sound and lagfix and various tweaks. and oc/uv if you want to do that sort of thing so it is not limited much by being an att rom.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, I think the AT&T version takes advantage of the audience chip for sound quality. Likely won't oc/uv, but looks like both have the ability to do so. Looks like both have the ability for lagfix with ext4.
As long as you've got the ROM flashing down, I would try several ROMS and stick with what you like best. Personally, I like Serendipity. No knock on any other custom ROM, but it's my personal preference. Happy flashing!
try out phoenix/firefly/supernova. all three are awesome man. really fast, super stable, smooth as hell, great battery life, gps actually works. the developers will help anytime they get the chance. which from what i've seen is anytime a question is asked. seriously really great roms.
I prefer i9000 based ROM to KB1 based ROMs.
KB1 is Android2.2 while i9000ROMs are on 2.2.1 now. I think 2.2.1 fixed some memory leaking bug.
Also I personally feel the i9000 ROMs are more polished.
My favorites are pheonix, supernova, and fusion. With firefly as number one backup.
What the best rom for our G2X with good performance and good battery life
How about reading? Have you tried that?
There is no 'best ROM.' That's like asking what's the best car or what's the best food, it all comes down to personal preference.
Really, you can't go wrong with any of them. I've found the best battery life to be with Tsugi 2.3.4 or Weapon G2x. MIUI and CM7 have a little faster drain, but it's not too noticeable, but you get tons of customization in exchange. In my experience with custom kernels, they all perform about the same, which is a good thing, they've all super fast.
Also, what Beekersguy said, this question gets asked literally every day.
Sent from my Tsugi G2x using XDA Premium App
Yeah, there are literally dozens of threads with the same title as yours. They all get answered the same, with the only difference being the addition of Tsugi.
Simple question gets a simple answer. CM7.
Yes, but there is very limited number of roms, most of the roms are about an month and a half old without any updates to them.

Quality over quantity.
I've only used Weapon G2X as of now and I like it a lot to be honest with you.
Everyones replies are true there is no real answer to that question.
Also, which version are you looking for...Froyo or GB
If its Froyo...go for Ultimate ROM,as for a GB rom i wouldn't know because i'm just waiting for ICS to come out and not deal with the constant GB updates but thats me. So for GB roms, other opinions should be taken into account.
The honest answer to this question is:
Whichever Rom works best for you...
That sounds like a cop-out but, follow me on this... The problem with the G2X was lousy support from LG from the beginning. That means that all of the Roms suffered various glitches. Froyo Roms (which I never experienced since I didn't have a G2X back then), Gingerbread Roms, both 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 all have had glitches. Cyanogen has never been 100% either, nor has MIUI...
What that means is, there's not a single Rom that can say "I have it ALL WORKING 100%". Such a best does not exist on the G2X, despite any claims to the contrary.
Even Tsugi has a number of issues. Some are due to my lack of ability, but others come down to buggy LG code. Without source code, we merely try to hack and patch to get things working better.
Cyanogen of course has source code, but has little information regarding internal workings, and unfortunately no dedicated developers working ONLY on the G2X.
So, in the end, you decide WHICH rom offers you the best features with glitches you can live with.
In general:
LG 2.3.3 Roms: Seem to have more Screens of Death & Random Reboots, but some people have bluetooth issues.
LG 2.3.4 Roms: Seem to have a little better battery life and stability overall, but there seem to be some USB issues for a few users, and some have bluetooth issues.
CM7 Roms: Battery life isn't as good, GPS isn't quite as reliable (not that it's 100% on LG roms either)
MIUI Roms: All the issues of Cyanogen + most people cannot get Wifi Calling to work.

As one of those users with USB issues I presume you are referring to, I just wanted to clarify -- it's really an issue with unmounting the SD card (which happens when you set it up for USB access), not limited to USB access. Just going into Settings and unmounting the card directly usually reboots the phone, just like attempting to set it up for USB access.
I have tried CM7 and MIUI 1.18 and both are having problem with black screen and rebooting....
I'm using Tsugi Rom and so far I love it. I do however prefer the other camera, BUT its better to have this camera working than none at all
Great phone I think.
Im on MIUI and have camera problem too. Like it takes a few times to open up the camera or its just black screen...
Kang_clam
I have been using Kang Clam ROM for a few weeks now and its awesome. Its based on 2.3.7 and works great. Very well designed and very good battery usage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374011
It does mostly depend on what you want in a rom. Cm7 is the most popular and known for its theming capability. Miui is known for looking a lot like ios. Most of the others are based off stock.
I personally use Whitehawkz's weapon g2x rom, since it comes with a stock launcher and a touchwiz launcher that is quite nice.
Though it IS up to you.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I like weapon, though I can't say I've tried a whole bunch to compare.
I've used CyanogenMod since CM4 and CM7 was the first ROM I loaded on my G2x. A while back I loaded Weapon as a change of pace and haven't looked back.
Weapon G2x works fine so far
I've been using weapon 3.0 R1 for a few weeks now and it has yet to do the random freeze or reboot the stock ROM does sometimes. I haven't had to pull the battery out once! Sometimes the stock ROM would freeze so bad I'd have to pull the battery. Anyone else's G2x do this with the stock ROM?
I'm also getting pretty good battery life from weapon even with Wifi, bluetooth, and GPS on all day long.
It says I've been on the battery for 9h 15m 34s and it's at 69% right now.
Battery use says
Cell standby 24%
Wifi 24%
Bluetooth 24%
Phone idle 22%
I do use the TMobile Wifi calling feature because my tower coverage at my house is poor. And since I work at home and I'm here all day I just leave the Wifi calling on and just use that for (not always)perfect calls.
Ive tried a bunch of roms. For me right now its Bionix 1.2.1. A 2.3.3 rom. Kinda reminds me of my old vibe in a way. Anywayz this rom is boss for me. Semi transparent parts a few themes, options for downloads, its fast on wifi 2 3 4g. Smooth no hiccups or lags no reboots or freezing
Transitions r fast n ram management hasn't Been a problem for me. Did I mention its TEAM WHISKEY?!
Hi folks,
I've spent most of the month since I got my G2x messing around with different combinations of roms and kernels for the best experience and I thought I'd try to share some of that with you, as well as some unanswered questions.
First off, I am no stranger to android and even custom roms in general. I flashed custom roms for my windows mobile phones (two of them), before I went to android with the G1. I used the Tmobile HTC HD2 for a while after that, flashed to Gingerbread and eventually ICS roms with full HW acceleration thanks to the hard work of developers.
I got my G2x off Craigslist for use on Wind Mobile. Immediately looked up guides for nvflash and cwm, upgrading to the latest baseband (march) and trying a variety of different roms. At one point, I must've tried every rom out there in the forum, but decided to stick with owain's domination ICS because of the constantly updated codebase. The latest ones (build 78 and 79 have been having some lag issues suspectedly due to the linaro improvements), but that shows how cutting edge it is.
With all of them except my current, latest setup (which I will explain), I had a number of glitches, namely:
1. Flickering of the screen brightness when turning screen on and flickering of the screen-on for a millisecond after turning it off (with and without CRT-off animation enabled)
2. I had a little glitch with the LED lights where when it timed out, instead of turning off, it brightened brighter for a bit before turning off completely.
I understand that ICS is highly experimental, and it is a testament to how good those developers are to even get it running with hacked HWA and no official nvidia support (hopefully, yet).
I HAVE managed to solve those both problems in a very peculiar way. I applaud EaglesBlood for the slick look of their website, designs, and AROMA installer, not to mention their very slick AOSP rom. Latest news is that they're even starting to merge JB source.
Right now I am running EaglesBlood; not the AOSP, but their decommissioned CM9-based ICS build 3. Their last released version with the latest version of the trinity kernel. It's missing many of the latest CM commits, CRT-off animation (without modifying framework-res.apk) and a few features I admit, but it's blazing fast and most importantly, none of the two glitches I listed above are happening.
I am curious if there is any opportunities for information exchange here. I tried trinity kernel on build 77 and 79 of owain's domination build, and I experienced the flicker bugs, but not the LED lights. Clearly, something in the build changes could be the reason. If that could be identified, and EB's CM ICS build could be updated to the latest codebase, we could all have ourselves a more stable, and updated build with no glitches.
I am excited for the next builds of both the EB AOSP and domination builds to see what they could bring in the meantime.
Just my two cents, keep up the great work folks!
The other end of the spectrum of experience
I have very little experience "managing" an Android phone. I'm no technophobe, as I have 25+ years experience developing hardware and C firmware for embedded Real Time systems (none using Android nor embedded Linux). But I have a wife, kids, grandkids, and music performance is my #1 hobby, so I can't make time to "play" with my phone. I've had two G2x for my wife and I, and the only thing I did was root and freeze bloatware. I stuck with Froyo because I needed Wifi calling, a2db and BT calling, and tethering. We also got the dreaded Screen Of Death (g2x locks up, gets hot, and drains your battery, requiring a battery pull), and random reboots. I recently moved our phones to LG V21y (rooted with bloatware freeze), and my wife now gives me the evil eye. We lost the wonderful camera LG put into Froyo, we still get SOD and reboots, plus now we get frequent lag. Example: now when I'm playing music over a2dp, if I get a text or anything, the music has a momentary pause. wtf.
So, since you (Timekeeper) are trying out many ROMs, I'm curious as to which one you stay with. If anyone else wants to suggest ROMs, I'm all ears. I've also searched for a ROM of the original G2x Froyo, but the only links I come up with are dead. I want/need the above features (Froyo LG camera, WiFi calling, a2dp + BT calling, and tethering or Hotspot, and (gasp) stability) - my wife would sacrifice WiFi calling and a2dp for stability. But since she is a technophobe and I am the IT Dept, I'd prefer to have us on the same ROM.
Thanks in advance to any and all that give input.
-Bob
I suggest cyanogenmod 7.2 stable, though if you're on the latest baseband you won't have blue tooth calling. If you downgrade to July 2011 you'll have all working features. If you want you can also use faux 050 kernel if it works better than the cyanogenmod kernel.

You could give this a shot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5vsodk99a6k6y8y
found from here: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/86314-rom-videotron-stock-22-froyo-p999/ (in french). It's of a stock froyo rom from the provider Videotron, if you are wanting to go back to Froyo. All my roms are ICS roms (I vastly prefer it over CM7.2 after trying some), and so might not be too suitable for you. One of the things you mentioned you missed was the original Froyo camera. As always before trying this rom, do a nandroid backup of your current.
You can also try this, it contains stock nandroid restores for stock froyo and gingerbread and the links appear to still be live:

I personally find best EB 2.3.7 Rom to work wonders paired with Faux50. I have my max set to 1408MHz and 389 MHz min with just -25mv undervolted all day and get no gliches no hiccups. Im on 6h 54m on battery and my percentage is at 66% not to shabby considering i watched an episode of Futurama during my lunch break on netflix.
forgot to add the link to the EB 2.3.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124522
