Why aren't there any Gingerbread roms for the Captivate?

What is the reason? I'm really curious about that.

We have one. Check here for a list of all roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887525

The only ones I found were Froyo with Gingerbread themes...

There are some what of Gingerbread ROM's ported from the I9000, with CM7, Far from a daily ROM. As well it is sort of difficult to actually flash, crazy kernel crap.

There is a team working on bringing 2.3 to the galaxy s. I haven't heard anything in about a month but they still had some issues to work out

CM7 for SGS
There were people working on porting gingerbread to the captivate but many of them are now involved in the project to bring CM7 to the i9000 and the captivate. The i9000 however seems to be the priority and it is not yet complete search for cmsgs on google to find out more

The problem is that we don't have the source to all of the proprietary Samsung bits, like hardware drivers, leaving some of the hardware either completely non-functional or malfunctioning. With the 2.2 roms, it's a lot easier because we have leaked 2.2 roms that were designed for our hardware, or the source code for other devices in the galaxy s line.
Though the Nexus S is similar to the Galaxy S line, there are a few hardware differences that make porting difficult. I've been following the CM7 twitter feed for the i9000 - it seems like they've figured most of the stuff out. The major hurdle was that the camera wasn't working, which it now is, and the remaining problems are all somewhat minor things - polling problem in the radio interface layer, wifi glitches.. Hopefully we'll see a proper build a lot sooner now that the camera has been sorted.

CM7 for captivate (stock gingerbread 2.3.3) is now working fine.

That's not entirely accurate...
At any rate, once i9000 gingerbread source is released there will be a bunch of them.

just falshed away from CM7 it is not all working
The main parts are working but many things still do not work for our cappys or the I9000 or the vibernt.
It is very useable if u dont use bluetooth, moible AP, Car docking, andmany other highly used featers.
It is fine for web surfing and Phone calls, and texting, and a few other minor things.
So for those of us that need the biger parts of the ROM to work it just isnt going to cut it.
I see there a few i9000 no CM7 2.3.2 roms also i have seen a vibernt 2.3.2 rom.
It comes down to no one has worked or completed work on 2.3.x to our cappys. besides the CM7 thats far from 100% ready for the masses.
I mean i can handle giveing up a few things but with a few custom 2.2 roms and a nice kernel i get benchmarks and many other scores just as high if not higher then CM7 2.3.3, and give up nothing.
So y flash and deal with a few reboots and force close prb i found with a few apps.
Btw yes i had the most current cm7 20110304.
i wish it worked a little better and i am sure it will it just takes time.
I figer this y work on that ROM when we have an i9000 2.3.2 rom unsure but i think it would be easier to port. then an non sammy rom.
But much many be learned there at CM7 helping in converting the sammy 2.3.2 to our cappys.
But i can say i am a bit unhappy that vibernt got the i9000 working on there ohones frist
Those are just my opions not tring to offend anyone.

I've been using CM7 with no problems
I've been using CM7 as a daily driver for a week now, with no issues. I love it actually! You can find clear instructions on how to install it here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

I would love to upgrade to gingerbread someday when they work the knicks out of it. I will wait til this phone gets old enough not to worry about abuse lol.

Agreed, I have been using Cyanogen and it's been reasonably stable, except for wifi sleep issues, a bit of bad battery life and when I pulled my battery and I had to rewipe.
But I have actually been very pleased with it, very snappy and I love all the customization!

Gingerbread is coming to galaxy s this month.

The WiFi issue was fixed today, so we migth get an updated release today.
The one issue that made come back to a Samsung ROM is the camera. The picture quality is mediocre at best, and it takes too long to start. Its really unfortunate because otherwise the rom works way better than any other rom. Seriously, I just noticed today his ****ing ****ty the browser is in stock ROMS.

The best GB out there?

I've tried about 3 diff. versions of GB on my SGS4G and have noticed the same problems from one to the next. The first problem is the low volume on the 1st ring. Another problem is the calls going straight to VM or at least after the first ring. The last is the call log and notification bar not showing missed calls. Are these normal issues with GB or am I special? I've read other posts in diff. phone forums via searching and people have mentioned it, but nothing in this forum. If there are not any fixes I'll probably return to FROYO. Its always boggled my mind reading these forums and trying out diff. roms on my phone. I usually end up with more problems than I had to start with after flashing diff. roms. Much respect to all of the devs for the time they spend on making new roms but, if the roms are going to be spotty, why bother releasing them? I don't know, maybe its just me. In short I would love to have that BULLET PROOF rom someday. Well, time to stop babbling. Thanks for looking.

I think you're posting in the wrong forum. This is the development forum. You're problems are not ones i have personally experienced with sgs4 GB leak roms. Please read the stickied sgs4g Bible and ten commandments.

This should probably be in Q&A. Regardless, I don't think the problems you're having are normal. I can say I've tried many different ROMs from here and haven't experienced those problems. It may be you need to do a factory data reset or something to try and get it back to normal.
As for GB ROMs, though, they're not official yet so it's difficult to have the expectation of bullet proof. All of the GB ROMs on here are created from leaked versions of the GB ROM from Samsung.
Once they release something official you'll have a more bullet-proof ROM (though not totally...nothing ever is) and the Dev ROMs will be even sweeter.
Best of luck to you, hope you get it figured it.

First off... thanks for taking the time to read the rules, Secondly, I'm surprised he didn't get roasted, and why give him the answers, just point him to the correct link which would be here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
Read Read Read.... and before you ask a question unrelated to chit... read some more..... Ohooo and here's an idea pal.... try doing a search for your question.... as far as opinions on what GB is the best, like the old saying goes... opinions are like assholes - everybody's got one

Consider this reply as a flame or troll attempt. Just effin read! Thats the best GB rom. Read!

The low volume is normal for the first ring.I'm surprised no one didn't mention that. You must be new to Samsung. Like previous posters said, read.

Is it normal for GB and not Froyo? Because on Froyo the first ring on my phone is loud. If it is a normal thing, it SUCKS.

The last time I remembered froyo had the low first ring too unless you installed a custom froyo ROM with it eliminated

My phone came right from T-mobile with a loud first ring. And the custom Froyo that I have in it right now does have a loud first ring, but I'm not sure if the rom was altered to make it that way. If the custom rom can be altered to make the first ring loud on froyo, why can't it be done on GB? Just a question.

Probably because we don't have source for gingerbread. I believe the low first ring its a Samsung only feature. I like the feature because I have time to react before it rings loud especially in a silent environment.

The low first ring may be a sign of a worn out wringer inside the phone.

I have noticed the low first ring only with a GB rom... but the other thing I have noticed that with each rom I try - some apps in the market don't show... Example... I am Running GB Audiophile's Beautiful Sgs4g #2 KI3 - And I can't find CBS Sports Football in the market - If I load ICBINB GB, I can find CBS Sports Football in the market... anyone else heard or run into something like this ??

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.

Quick question, if I am already running Arcee's ICS ROM would I need to do a full wipe and loose the way I have my phone configured or can I just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash on top of Arcee's??

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.

[Q] Instability of ICS Leak

I switched over to the ICS leak and I have been experiencing a lot of instability. Many different apps f/c all the time. The phone freezes everytime I open the dialer or some other apps. Sometimes I have to shut it down to bring it back. I was wondering if this is because of the ICS leak and are there any alternatives out there. Also what are the trade offs for those alternatives.
I used to be on rooted stock and my phone had the freezing problem but it was not as bad.
Essentially, what can I get to be rooted and functional with limited trade offs.

That's the nature of using a leaked rom. If you want stability, go back to GB. Easy peasy.

Tried all ics roms but sky 4.2D-10 and smooth ice 5.1.. wondering if either one of them have the speed and responsiveness gb has. I hate that i press the home button and it doesnt go instantly. Does anyone know if either one of these do ? or should i stay with GB too.

Just go to gb till official builds please I'm tired of you noobs this doesn't work why can't I have bln my lights don't work right. Its a leak a test software its not meant for actual use if you can't accept the issues stick to stock Jesus christ

I apologize for having offended you but that is not my expectation. To clarify my question. I am asking whether other users are experiencing this instability or if its device specific.

Yes, you're not the only one.
I'm back on GB also.
In my case, it was issues with a few apps working, but being slightly buggy. Just enough so, to be irritating.
Not quite ready for ICS, or vice-versa.
At least with UCALC4.
I never got a chance to try UCLD2, since it broke bluetooth for me.

I still consider myself a noob but have been having a great time on sky ice 4.2d10. I haven't been having any real issues that I wasn't able to fix. Very stable.
The key to being a highly functional noob is read the s*#t out of the posts for any rom you're interested in. Once you do that reread it 20 more times.

I think Sky 4.2 is the most popular. That's the one I'm on right now. I'm using the UCALC4 radio because the UCLD2 one seemed to drain my battery. I haven't tried Smooth ICE yet, but I used his previous UCALC4 version and it was great. The only reason I uninstalled was b/c UCALC had the google contacts sync problem. If Sky Ice starts acting up on me, I will try Smooth Ice 5.1.
Speed and responsiveness of GB? In my experience all of the ICS roms (or leaks) have been way faster than any of the GB roms I've used. So far, I've had little to no problems with UCLD2 that wasn't caused by myself. The only thing I wish for is a toggle to switch btwn HSPA and LTE so I don't have to turn off the device to do it, but I think we'll have to wait for a Rogers leak for that.

I am really picky. I never found an Atrix ROM (previous phone) I liked (it was complicated by the fact that I used and still use the lapdock, however).
My first go with ICS Rom was not good. Laggy, issues, etc.
I didn't give up and have been using Sky ICS 4.2D now for a couple of weeks. It is faster than gb, I have not had one fc and everything is really smooth. Only thing I don't like is the contacts are not part of the dialer (issue with all the ICS roms) but it is a minor issue outweighed (imho) by the benefits.
I think the key to the ICS ROMs is doing it exactly by the book; follow the instructs..

Yeah im having same problem. Just not smoov enough for me. Official should be coming soon. Glad i could taste the ics a lil bit though. It was good!!! Lol hello gingerbread

How to upgrade the LG G2x P999 to Android 4.1.1 JB via CyanogenMod 10 (Unofficial)

Hi All!
Recently, while surfing through the ocean of ROMs for my LG G2X P999, I came across this ROM. Couldn't find any link related to this on XDA. So thought of pointing the G2X owners to this link:
http://www.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536/
Flashed it just yesterday. Apart from the Video-recording did not notice any bugs so far. In fact I haven't used it enough to comment on bugs. But I can confirm that Calls and Wifi are both working fine.
If any one knows any prior publication of this work on XDA; please let me know so we can avoid duplicates.

Hackfest in development section.

Wifi calling probably does not work

It doesn't,
I can't get it to work on anything that is not CM7 based.

Kinda blows that our phone is limited to cm7. I love cm7 as it is treating me well, but selection is always a nice privilege

so data is working? i thought the data or radio was still broken. does this mean we may get a somewhat stable build of JB?

Still a hackfest.

I tried a couple different versions of CM7 over the past few days, and its nothing but a nightmare. It will run flawlessly for hours and then something quirky will happen and I either cant get data, or cant make calls, or my screen locks up, and im rebooting the phone or looking for a fix on google. Wound up just going back to the stock rom with faux123 kernel.

Well the problem is that other developers take the vanilla cm7 code and tweak/mod the hell out of it which is always awesome but they put out an unstable build/ROM. If you haven't tried vanilla CM7.2 from get.cm (latest build) then you're missing out. I have had the ROM installed running with mazout's latest kernel for over a week now and its been running extremely well. All and any problems that I experienced with this setup were directly due to ignorance and human error as I'm still a flaming n00b. At the same time they were great learning experiences and easily fixed.

The problem is going to lie in your setup somewhere.
Maybe kernel level as it is known that some G2xs will run great on Trinity but crash on Faux and vice versa. That's just a quick example.
I've run vanilla CM7 for like 13 months now and do not encounter the issues you are describing.
Soooo...what's your setup.

Data does work

Data does work but there is issue related to rapid battery drain. Back to my stock ROM. This hasn't been updated since a long time. I wonder if any developer at all is working on this phone or not!

You are late to the party... This device is a dying device. There's 1 dev working on a CM7 Kernel and that's about it. More than likely we will never see fully working 4.1.1 or higher on our device. They tried real hard and are some talented people (our devs), but LG handed them a broken pile of excrement and said, "here you go... Jellybeans!!"...

That's almost all true! I have another old phone, Mytouch4g/HTC Glacier. On that one I am running 4.2.2 and there is a lot of development still on. Huge number of ROMs which can be used as daily drivers. But here we don't even have a perfectly working 4.0.4. But again, no complain to Developers. they have tried really hard with a lot of time invested in this device. All the blame on LG.
This phone is lightning fast on 2.3.X variants. still very much usable. I may be late to the party, but the party is yet not over

I just want to chime in that I used this and the phone is working. The camera seems slower (and therefore more blurry). Other than that everything that I use (I do not use bluetooth, tethering, or wi-fi calling) is working. It's about the same speed as CM7 I had on here before. Don't know about battery since I only just did it.
If anyone knows any tricks for the camera please share. I babysit a toddler and his face is often blurry in photos. I'm pretty sure with this new ROM it will be even more blurred. I have already removed the plastic cover over the camera lens, it's not that issue. This is clearly software as it has gotten slower with this ROM.

We thought we might have a jellybean breakthrough when cm started deving cm10.1 on the p990 and had the courtesy of posting a half port of their work in progress. I believe it's called AdamPK's cm10.1 and is usually found with Mazout360 kernel. Hardware Acceleration Work so no camera, camcorder, sluggish or other problems that plagued the hackfests but they ran into and issue with the radio because O2x and G2x use different radio chips. So you have wifi but no data and battery can't be read correctly but other than that it would be as close to a perfect 4.x as we could get.
