With every fifth post being some sort of claim about the release of froyo for captivate, How will we ever know when it happens for real?
So if you were to stumble across the real release, How would you title your thread????
Lol. This ought to be good...
If it becomes official
1. At &t will announce it.
2. Every android site would announce it.
3. This forum will go nuts with everyone putting [official] in the title.
4. Custom ROM users would be laughing at the quality of it.
But till then keep the dream alive.... I like your optimism.

If it happens before St. Patrick's Day, I would expect the title to also have news of Mikey Mike's heart attack.

Speaking of that, what happened to your signature, no more patrick's day betting?
Well, I for one, could care less if/when they release it ... I think the devs around here can use some portions of it to further improve the ROMs we're seeing. I'm sure that there are quite a few people who have cappys, and don't even know what XDA Developers is, that should be very excited should it ever be released.
I'm on Andromeda 2.1 with the Speedmod K13 kernel and everything is great.
But to answer the question as to how we'll know when it's out? ... Your Mom will have it on her phone.
I predict AT&T will announce their official plans for froyo and eventually gingerbread for the captivate on April 1st.
I would troll it like this
"Attention folks wanting Froyo from ATT"

I stopped caring about an official froyo release the day I learned to flash roms on my cappy.
"Hey Samsung why u no froyo teh captivate till now yo? Why no gingerbread heh?
The day we get Froyo.... is the day they make an LG Env with froyo for all the preteen girls who want to text their BFF Jill without needing a lagfix. We're such a low percentage of the customer base.
4/5 captivate owners I know don't even know what froyo is.
Getting it out there isn't quite a main concern of AT&T right now, what with their unveiling of newer, shinier Pantech phones with lower specs than the ones before it. T_T

Yeah, most of the people that really want Froyo just flash their phones. Why would AT&T/Samsung bother paying someone to make a working build when their customers will do it for free? The only reason AT&T will release Froyo and Gingerbread updates would be to prevent their customers from using tethering and AP for free. Speaking of which, I need to donate to Team Komin
Let's stay on topic here....
This is a serious thread... lol
The day that froyo releases somebody will start a thread with the name:
It's Finally here! Froyo has arrived [Official]
And then all the trolls will spam the thread with their WE WANT GINGERBREAD trolling. So I guess it's the day the world explodes..
Something like "Holy crap, Froyo is out for cappys. No really, it is, seriously, not a joke, look for yourself. Ah forget it"
Hi, I tried to search before posting this question, but could not find a definitive answer.
I wanted to know if it is possible to flash a ROM from the LG Optimus 2x section?
(I have the t-mobile G2x obv)
There's a developer, believe its krylon, working on this right now.

The short answer is no. The long answer is nooooooo. (Don't take offense, I'm only kidding)
Check this thread here.
The other poster is somewhat correct though. Once someone ports the Rom to our device we will be able to use it. As it stands, the O2x has different partitions and will not work if u flash them to a G2x.
short answer, yes, you can.
long answer, it requires work to get data/cell connection

you phone is functional, you just cant make calls on it. wifi works however, didnt test wifi calling though.
Krylon360, does this mean you really are working on a port of the O2X ROM?
I must definitely appreciate the responses from you all!
And Krylon, I would love to see a port if you're working on it.. A case of beer would sitting at your front door! lol.
Quick question: (its a bit off topic, but help would be appreciated)
I have T-mobile and I have the 9.99 web2go data plan which, was working fine on my HD2 until now.. but since I got my G2x.. it wont work on it, and I really dont want to upgrade to the $30 plan. Are there any modifications I can do to my G2x to make this possible?
its more than likely but don't quote me on this like the devs ported the i9000 rom's to the vibrant. wish team edt was on this phone jellete is a porting guru

Yeah, I remember Krylon posting something on his twitter about a sense port I believe. I am scrolling through all his tweets but cant seem to find it for reference.
Will Unlocking the phone let us use the 9.99 web2go plan on it without upgrading to the $30 plan?
Hey guys, it has been a lot fun here on the captivate forum for the last year! I never thought getting my first android device would lead to what has basically become a second job.
Thanks to everyone that has kept me motivated, and to all the haters for hating!
To all of you moving to the Galaxy S2 when it comes out on AT&T, I will see you there!

Thanks a lot for all the hard work put into Captivate.
Thanks a lot for all the hardwork and all those stable roms......!
And as far as these people are concerned they are never going to let you rest even when you move to the S2.....!
Just want to let you know that since I found Cognition (In the 2.somethings) I haven't used any other ROM at all...
Love your work... if finances permit I'll be following you to the SII
Thanks for all you do!
Thanks alot DG you're awesome! See you on the SGS2 forums as soon as I get mine! You make the best ROM's and I can't wait to see what you've been up to with the SGS2. Till then...
P.S.- sorry about the whole KH4 mess. I guess my sources were tainted.
Haha good luck man, thanks for all your hard work! I might grab a GSII
DG thanks
Great ROMS, have a couple of questions...
I dropped (and broke) the display on my Euro sgs2. I am going to order a replacement panel, but not sure how to get a genuine samsung replacement. Cannot find anything online. Got any advice?
Do you have any insight on when the ATT version will be released? did I miss the release date...cannot find it online
Running Cog on the old standby Captivate
I remember when I got my captivate on Christmas, the 1st rom I ever flashed on it was cognition and I was in love, hopefully when I get rid of my crappy evo 3D I'll join you in the SGS2 forums
I appreciate all your work DG. This Cappy has been running Cog since I bought the damn thing. Can't wait to get my hands on that GSII and give it some DG love!

Well, the SGS2 is supports LTE, at least the AT&T version will, and they are launching LTE this sunday(18th) and they said the SGS2 would come in the third quarter, which ends at the end of this month.
They always release big phones on Sunday, so that means we will get it on the 18th or the 25th.

I'll just have to wait and see if their LTE coverage will extend into my area. I'm usually on the fringe of the major carriers' big rollouts. I am also holding out hope that we'll see a Galaxy Note here in the US.
I'm about ready to dump my Samsung Moment and upgrade to a new phone. I know I want to stay with Android (my wife will be getting an iPhone 4S though).
Right now, I think the most likely choices are the Motorola Photon 4G, the HTC EVO 3D or the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch (why is that name so long?).
I've been trying to decide which is the best, but I need more input! Also, is there an awesome Android phone on Sprint that I've missed?
And now I'm beginning to remember why I quit posting at XDA... thanks for all the help guys.
Ha, awesome troll vote with no comment.
Not that it matters at this point. I ordered the Epic 4G Touch and will be getting it today.
Thats can help
i am sorry i dont think i can help u

What was the point of these posts? I had already said that this was pointless as no one was helpful and I decided on a new phone already. And that's when you guys decide to make these posts?
Anyway, in case someone else is curious about the phones I was considering, I am very happy with my choice. The Epic 4G Touch is an awesome phone and I would highly recommend it. Especially with the mod support for it here.

I don't know, this thread pretty much shows that's not true. I'm sure some of the 120+ people who viewed the thread would have an opinion on at least one of the phones I listed.
The only vote it got was a troll (amusing though) and the only comments were useless, no offence.
Its simple to understand what I meant, you were getting mad and I told you that maybe some people don't no the answer to your question

Somehow I always forget that emotion is lost online. I was never 'getting mad' about this thread. I just found it sad that no one was interested in helping out.
And I was genuinely amused by the troll vote on the poll - that was well played.
Again, people may not know the answer to my question, which is fine, but that doesn't make a post of "?" or "i am sorry" worth creating. Just saying. And nothing personal against you; except for that "?" post you've been rather cordial, thanks.
I have got to say: way to go with ordering the S2. I've had mine for a while now and I LOVE IT! It's so fast ^-^
Way better than my old HTC Wildfire S

I have persevered with the O3D because of the wonderful people in this forum, but unfortunately today I had to let go of the phone that I come to Love and hate, Good luck to everyone and I hope LG will put out soon a fix.
Thank you all who worked hard to make this phone experience better, and also thank you for everyone who posted and helped when I needed guidance.
good luck man
What happened?
ghost call issue and cannot forgive LG .
I intend to quit playing with LG.

Thank you for all your helpful posts, especially for the "ghost calls" issue of O3D.
However, weren't you invited to the LG head office this Wednesday in order to investigate the problem? Did they cancel the invitation or you decided not to go?

It turned out all they wanted to do is to reset the phone and put 20B, which I told them I already did, I explained that the phone functions perfectly under froyo, so this is how I am sure that there is something wrong with their update to gingerbread.
so, I don't have the phone anymore, I am sorry I can't elaborate anymore on the issue, all I can say I walked into their headquarters with contempt towards LG products and I walked out wanting to try out LG again in the future as they do stand by their products after all.

Sad to hear that you are leaving mate, but even more sad is to hear that those "#@$%#@*@#" can't admit that the issue exists. Different than you LG is not a possibility for me in the future, and it's sad cause I guess they will be the only one with a new 3D phone in 2012. So I guess I will have to forget about 3D phones in the end of the year when I plan to replace O3D.
BTW good luck with a new device.

Sorry to hear mate...
I guess 20b just does not play nice with Vodafone - gotta say that my reception has been nothing short of perfect on 20b w/ Optus. As I've posted before - I'm amazed that after trying ALL the GB roms (via kdz) this one is the only working rom.
In 4 weeks I have not had one missed or dropped call, no ghost calls and no loss of data connection.
Again I can't explain it but I'm very happy - really sorry to hear that it never got resolved for you...best of luck with your next phone!

Thanks for the info. As a matter of fact, I didn't expect a different outcome. It's true that the local LG offices are very good and fast when it comes to service the phones but their help is limited when it is about such problems which can only be solved by the software engineers of the LG headquarters.
Kudos for your optimism, too. For me, this will be the last LG smartphone. It's now more than clear that while their hardware is one of the best, LG seriously lacks on the software development department.
Good luck man! All the best on your next phone!
p.s. Pardon my English... and I'll continue flaming LG's fb....
I think lg should offer us all a full refund.

All the best like you i came from ip4 and again went back to ip4 but ever since i reflashed o3d to froyo, it's become my primary phone again thanks to acrua's v3 rom clocking the cpu @ 1.3ghz and gpu @ 400mhz. My ip4 using gevey sim just gave out and not connecting to network anymore so might sell it.
