i just got the captivate i rooted it today im a newbie to all of this so im still unsure of everything im doing i dont care about bricking it. i was reading the "how to load a custom rom" and im at the step where is says (please flash the stock kernel through ODIN first then do our How To Root procedure then come back to this to continue) im unclear about flashing the stock kernal
and what custom rom you guys use and why you like it
Simple, Cognition.. It is all in one package and it is very simple to install but it just seems to work.
Only other ROM I will be going to is cyanogen if and when it is released.
Um and I might be wrong here but I thought Odin was only needed if you had to revert back to a stock ROM before flashing?
Bah damn swype putting words in my mouth again....

Yea I would go cognition. It is what I run.
Very snappy and with the voodoo lagfix it is extremely fast.
I also reccomend the hsupa kernal if you dont use a bluetooth headset.
And 2.1.5 has proved to give me a very decent battery life.
so if i want to try a different rom i have to flashback to the stock att rom then on to the new rom?

The HSUPA Kernel enables HSUPA data speeds on the Captivate, which AT&T has crippled on the phone. It's discussed at length in several posts in the developer section.
From what I have read, one of the bugs in installing it is that you lose Bluetooth, so it would be a non-starter for you.
This is NOT a full ROM, only the modem. It will not mess with your current ROM/data.
Here is the KH1 modem from Krylon's ROM leak. It is available in Odin and CWM flashable packages depending on your preference. Attached to this thread is Odin version 1.85, to my knowledge the latest version (at least the version I use).
I am not responsible if you brick/break/blow up your phone.
Odin Package: Here
CWM Package: Here
If you are unsure how to use Odin to flash the modem see this thread. If you are unsure how to use CWM to flash the modem, then please stop now and go watch some T.V., leave your phone alone.
Thanks for CWM version. Updated my Dr honk powered Kg4 rom with this modem.
So does this modem help with the weak wifi signal on KG4?
were is the modem at?
were is the link for the modem so i can test it out.
I just flashed the CWM version on Audiophile Bump in the trunk with no problems.
KB5 Has worked the best for me in Boston. I'm going to give this a good checking out.
Thank you for this.
Just Odin`d and... instant results. Thanks guys!!!

I'm on Audiophile Bump in the Trunk using the KH1 Modem and the display option in contacts is working properly for me.
ok then must be a problem with my kg6 or kernel, so I'm going to upgrade to whitehawx deodexed kh1
I just flashed to KH1 from KG4 so I shouldn't need this right? I haven't noticed an increase in WIFI performance btw...

You can check what modem you have installed by going to settings > about phone and looking at baseband version. Should say "KH1" toward the end if you just flashed the KH1 ROM.
Says KH1, All is well.
I flashed the CWM version yesterday.
I'm running Audiophile Bump in the Trunk.
A couple hours ago I went into our market app to browse and while there the MARKET automatically updated on my phone.
I believe it recognized my phone as a gingerbread phone because I ended up with a high definition (tv like) market app with a new icon. It looked and functioned GREAT...I want it!
But my phone got laggy and just a little buggy. My quadrant went from mid 1600's to mid 900's so I just uninstalled the updates and my phone is behaving normally. It has the mid 1600 quadrant again.
However now gmail tries to update and I'm getting "Package file was not singed correctly"
I have my froyo gmail and all is well. I'm not sure if the update is for gingerbread and I'm on froyo so it won't update or if I'm not receiving a froyo update.
Has this happened to anyone?
My market upgraded itself too. I'm using kg6+ kh1 modem and kg4 kernel.. Not sure about lag or scores..

hows the kh1 modem with kg6? any difference?
I got this KH1 modem on my Samsung Infuse 4G and the battery life just amazing. I think I also posted it on samsung infuse 4G section. Once I fully charged the phone after 4 hours it still have 100%.
My friend has the HTC Sensation 4G, do you know if this KH1 will work on HTC phones? He has bad battery life also.

Highly doubt it would work on any brand of phone that isn't Samsung, would probably cause all kinds of problems. Wouldn't advise you try it.

Hi,
Please don't burn me about a new post I've done a lot of phone research to get to the Infuse. The options for an "android development newb" are many. And not sure what a kernel and Rom is...Rom is the operating system right?
Basically looking for a stable/best operating system with priority in audio quality for headphones.
Ive read abit about the Voodoo for the wolfson chip in the Infuse. Read about a leaked version of Android 2.3.5 available but it may have some 'rainbow' effect?..
Basically trying to find the best rom, kernel and whatever, their are so many.
Thanks.
EDIT: Looking to use 'Voodoo control plus' app and 'Voodoo Screen Tuning' app so need compatible rom & kernel.
It really is going to be personal preference all the roms I have tried are pretty damn stable I have seen people really liking caty rom though prob try that first
Other popular one I used to see in google searches was MIUI, infused might be good, is it closer to stock ROM? Stock roms are probably safer ie not losing BT?
Interested in this [KERNEL]Community Kernel v8 - (7/17/11) - Voodoo sound v10
Catyrom and numas are infuse stock based roms like infused....everything works

"ROM" in the download title indicates it's stock (from Samsung or AT&T) & the one that says ie "Stock UCKJ4 [Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox] [2.3.6]" is the stock rom with things done to it like rooted??
Is video fine on KL2?

Video only works with that rom if you have the correct kernel I do believe.
I would suggest going here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021 and downloading the one with 3e recovery. That enables access to modifications such as voodoo control, while maintaining a stable stock environment. The simplest voodoo kernel you can use is the voodoo community kernel, which can be found in the infuse super thread under the android development section of this forum.
Hope this helps!
I am also new to the Infuse. I had the AT&T Captivate that I was able to flash to Rogers 2.2 and it was great. Rogers allows more control of the phone and was very stable. I then got greedy and tried to flash a Rogers GB rom and bricked my phone. I read that the Infused rom is based on Rogers but it seems to have some bugs.

No bugs in Infused. The Rogers firmware doesn't have HDMI support, because the Rogers phone doesn't have HDMI out. Other than that, Infused is the best stock ROM for this phone. Once AT&T releases GB, we'll probably get another update, but there's no bugs. If you flashed an Infuse ROM on a Captivate, well... there's your problem. I can't tell from your post if that's what happened or not.

I disagree that the infused is the best ROM. Its a good ROM, but IMO CatyRom or Numas, are better. I ran infused for a long time as well as a lot of Ports. The Ports are fun, lots of customization and bells and whistles, but the 2 I mention as well as the infused are the best for what you're looking for I think.
Infused is outdated though.
I prefer these because they are native to infuse.
I suggest
1) CatyRom
2) Numas
3) Infused v2.3.3
The ICS version of Caty has a MIUI music player that is awesome. Also there is a free app called audio FX that I use for an eq and its great.

Might try Catyrom, but probably will one of the latest leaks "ROM I997UCKL2 [2.3.6]" or "UCKL2[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, and CRT off]" I'm led to believe theyr both stock.
If I go with first UCKL2 I will need to root it to run the voodoo apps. If I root it will I lose video and HDMI? If so how do you fix it? Would I be better to go with the latter UCKL2 (already rooted)?
Note I may be upgrading from froyo (I havent got the phone yet).
Also not sure on the flashing procedure, I found this; any good or bit outdated? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160

I edited post for lack of replies. What's a good kernel to go with Uckl2 for over clocking CPU and not losing features like hdmi and video?
I have a small question I tried almost all popular roms on this site. And in every roms I had an issue.
Here a description:
*MIUI Link: Worked like a charme but Bluetooth didn't work, and battery couldn't handle it. I also tested the ported one, but it was worst.
*Zeus: android system was always crashing on network (4g and wifi)
*catyroms: couldn't mount my external Sd, and crashes sometimes
*BIonix: could access my rogers network, even for the phone
*CM7 the kang version: seems to work so far.
I'm a noob, but I saw that the base of the rom are ATT versions, and most of the time the kernel was UCKL2. Is it really a big deal for a rogers infuse phone to have that kind of kernel on it. Maybe that's why I had so many issues with the roms.
If for example I install Zeus and with sgs flasher I flash the zeus kernel with a UXKG3 or last entropy's kernel, would it solve my problems?
Thanks for your answers and explanation
Try Infused ROMs. They are based off Rogers ROM.
How
How do I know when a rom is based on roger rom?
When the kernel is UXKG3?

Thanks, but if you go to the superthread only one thread is mention rogers only.
In custom rom section nowhere it's mention also
I also check the 7 pages in Samsung Infuse > 4GInfuse 4G Android Development> Forum anywhere roger is mention in the title
Does it mean it's not fully compatible? and it only works for ATT?
And what about that:

I used it for months since I got my Infuse, and was on until I switched to Zeus. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.
Edit: If you want Froyo, try out Infused 1.5.x ROMs.

I'm a little bit disapointed but I will wait with infused until a better miui Bluetooth working and battery life.

I'm using Zeus on an infuse w/rogers and its working fine for me.
Originally the AT&T bloatware turned me off but dman managed to get rid of it.
Did you wipe before flashing ZEUS?
*edit*
also i may be wrong on this but i believe zeus uses the same kernel as infused, which is rogers-based.
Yep I flash data cache and devilsk.
After I install the rom even during google setup it crash. So Idon't why.
I'm on zeus on Rogers as well. This thing has been rock solid for me. One force close after initial flash, then all has been fine. Kl2 is the modem not the kernel if I'm not mistaken

Yes you can. Actually if you we're running a custom ROM you would need to revert back to a stock ROM, rooted or not. Any who, Google LG update tool. Install that and drivers for g2x and follow the prompts from the LG tool and that should do it.

I miss my bluetooth connectivity but that aside the new BB is the absolute bizness (for all the reasons previously stated). The phone even seems to handle OC'd kernels better.
I still get occasional shut down or random reboot on New Baseband with CM7.2 Official Stable
i agree with dark ma++er about missing the bluetooth with the new BB, but i have had it for a few weeks now and im running CM7.2 nightly 20120617 (i guess that is or will be 7.3?) and faux kernel without any issues whatsoever, and it overclocks wonderfully, does not overheat, reboot, lockup, nothing. solid as a rock and loving it!
