I've tried several i9000 ported ROMS from the i897 development section as well as ROMS from the i9000 android development section. They just don't work as I assume they should with the browser and installed apps. I've tried downloading the apps from market but they freeze and close.
The browsers hangs and shows checkerboards and doesn't register touches until moments later and is completely unusable, this applies to alternatives from the market too. I've used reoriented kernels for the Captivate and the ROMs based on JVT, JVQ, JVZ... from the i897 section work better because the capacitive touch buttons all work but same issues described.
The i9000 section ROMs work with the same issues but capactive home button doesn't respond although a kernel like semaphore is used if its JVT or JVZ based. Am I doing something wrong? I install a stock ROM with gingerbread bootloaders and flash. Is there a step I'm missing?
Only problem is the stock browser? Tried other ones?
the button remapping from i9000 to cappy isn't done in the kernel.
flash this on an unported i9000 rom from the i9000 section and it will reenable the home button.
(note that home haptic will not work that requires an edit to the android.policy.jar)
dunno whats up with your browser, perhaps the modem isnt loading as fast as you'd like. try a few, compare performance?
When going to stock do you perform a Master Clear before installing these different ROM's? I'd also consider going to either a stock Eclair, or Froyo, Master Clearing and then installing your new ROM(s).
If this is happening across multiple ROM's, It's something to do with the installations specific to your device, not the ROM's themselves
I haven't tried master clear yet I'll try it and let you know how it goes it always works without doing that specific step on i897 based ROMs so never considered it. Thanx studacris for the home button fix
I tried stock then master clear and then installing an i9000 ROM and same thing. I tried flashing 2.1 UCFJ6 and then i9000 bootloaders, talon kernel and then flashing a ROM and no luck,same issues. I'm stuck at this point. On the bright side ICSSGS beta 3 is serving me well but its irritating not utilizing the other i9000 ROMs
CM7 or MIUI don't work?
CM7 and MIUI work perfect. I9000 based ROMS are the issue the JV.. ROMs don't seem2 agree with my phone. The KK and older i897 based ROMs are buttery smooth with browsers and other aspects.
Anyone??? Is there really no method that can be used to fix this error?

I was a noob a few weeks ago so I will give you some advice:
Read all you can first, then reread stuff all over again. Development Forum is a good place to start.
"Stock" android always has extras - device drivers for a phone, kernel enhancements, etc. If you are looking for a build without AT&T stuff, then there are some i9000 Roms, that can be installed, but you need to install the Captivate kernel. All of these are development builds and have some bugs. They also are for the EU Galaxy, and they have different Samsung software included as well as different menus.
There are guys working on building a plain vanilla 2.1 ROM with the source code, but it will take some time.
I'm still fairly new to XDA and Android in general and I have a few questions. I did some searching and have a general idea of how Modems and Kernels interact with ROMS but I'd like to get a more firm idea before I decide to do more.
I flashed to Cognition 3.04 and have been running it for about 2 weeks now and love it. SOOO much better than what Samsung sent out stock. My question is in regards to kernels and modems. I haven't changed anything with Cog in regards to what DG included as Modem/Kernel. I have been reading about Kernels and Modems, and from my understanding I need to use a Captivate Kernel with a Captivate Modem and an i9000 Kernel with an i9000 Modem or I will lose Bluetooth calling.
1) Since I have the stock Cog modem/kernel and Cog is based off of Rogers 2.2, does that mean that the modem is a standard Captivate modem? If I flash the Firebird kernel, which I think is a Captivate kernal as it is based off of Android 2.2 JPX, will I lose my ability to use BT for calls?
Also, I have been getting an itch to flash another ROM like Serendipity, Firefly, Perception, and Precision.
2) Serendipity appears to be a Captivate 2.2 ROM, but I really couldn't find anything while searching implicitly stating that. It uses SpeedMod, which has both a Captivate and an i9000 kernel from what I read. I couldn't find anything about what modem that this ROM uses though. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
3) Firefly is based off of Rogers 2.2, but it has a JK4 modem and SpeedMod kernel. The JK4 is an i9000 modem from what I can see. SpeedMod looks to have a K13A kernel for both Captivate and i9000. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
5) Perception is based off JPY, which looks to be an i9000 ROM. It also has an i9000 modem in JL2, but it is running Firebird. Firebird is based off of JPX, which I believe is for Captivate but works with all modems. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would not work on this ROM?
6) Precision is based off of XWJS5 2.2.1, which I couldn't find a whole lot of info on. It also has the JL2 modem with K13A SpeedMod. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
I appreciate any responses and feedback. I am just trying to get a handle on what works/doesn't work in regards to Modems, kernels, and ROMS.
Thanks,
Vivified
Serendipity uses i9000 rom. Any rom that had a i9000 will have a i9000 modern included
I believe your presumption on fire bird kernel is correct, but flashing modems is very easy
I'm about to flash to Precision then SuckerPunch Kernel. I'll update on results.
I flashed to Perception 3.0 and SuckerPunch #49. WOW! This ROM/Kernel combo is fast!
Hello there I'm a total noob on this forum and ive been searching for quite awhile for a rom for my samsung galaxy s fascinate on telus (as you can probably gather from the title of the thread), and I have had absolutely no luck does anyone know of any roms that could work for me?
Thanks in advance
Do none of these work ?
Im not sure ive been looking but I need to find a rom specific to telus for my fascinate as I dont want to brick my phone. Im sorry for my huge noobishness Im more familiar with iphones and such in the hacking department these androids are alot trickier
The telus fascinate has gotten no love from developers but there is a work around possible.
ROMS:
Some i9000 roms will work with the fascinate, same goes for a few tmobile vibrant roms. Its mainly luck which ones do and do not work but ones such as Darky's rom will work fine since they're actually designed for all SGS variants.
IMPORTANT:
Do not load any roms that include a bootloader in the update package; this WILL brick your phone. Also when flashing any roms be sure that lagfix is disabled for first boot again this WILL brick your phone otherwise.
KERNEL:
As for your kernel there is 1 custom voodoo injected one based on the stock telus kernel available specifically for the fascinate but you lose out on any overclocking/BLN/etc features. You are able to use the kernels available for the i9000 such as the speedmod kernel but you will lose your home button functionality.
This loss of home button functionality can also be fixed by remapping your buttons using a hex editor.
RADIO:
For the most part all radios will work but I found using the stock telus radio to be the best in terms of battery life/signal strength.
I have rooted 3 phones prior to this one. I have it all set up and running Refuse 1.7. I have seen that there are a good load of roms available for the infuse 4g. Many of them say 2.3.5, etc. Is that the android version needed by the phone before installing the rom? I am on 2.2.1 and am worried about installing any other rom, than one which has froyo in the name leaving me with only 3 choices. Any help would be appreciated I want to try a miui rom or something else from here but am worried that since I have 2.2.1 when I install one that has 2.3 in its name I will brick.

No bro, the " 2.3.5" or "2.3.6" its that ROMs Android version, not the one needed to install it, still you do need a modified recovery to easily install a custom rom. I would personally recomend this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
as a good guide for new guys trying to install custom roms since the instructions are very detailed and hardly would give you trouble. After installing that rom you would have gathered the necessary knowledge to choose your next rom like MIUI or CM7 or another samsung Infuse rom or Samsung port to Infuse.
Hi,
I was using SGS I 9000 and with the official 2.3.3 DDJV6 version which is very very slow. After that i have tried so many leaked firmwares but unfortunately none of them works well for me..none of them are stable & bugfree.
Right now i am using DDJV9 with voodoo lagfix. This is also not running effeciently..phone gots very very hot upto 55C.
Kindly help me reviving my sgs experince. Please kindly also share the link also for the same.
Thanks alot in advance.
No roms not even OEM roms are free of bugs mate, try flashing some other custom roms until u find the one that suits ur needs.
I agree none of them is bug free. But Whichever leaked firmware i have used is not not even stable. I just want stable & fast firmware.
People kindly help.

No one will be able to tell you what will run well on your device with your set up. Try roms out till you rind one that works for you. Each device is different and so are the way we use them.
Try ROM Mintberry, link to post

Right now i am little confused. Till now i have only checked the different firmwares not tried any ROM.
Are firmware and ROM are 2 different things or same? Sorry if it is too basic..
Firmware and ROM are sort of intertwined. The firmware mostly relates to the underlying infrastructure that the ROM depends upon. Things like the kernel and radio. The ROM is the actual implementation of the OS. When you flash new firmware, you also get a new ROM along with it.
Some custom ROMs, such as Darky's ROM, are very closely related to the stock ROM, and have mostly performance and cosmetic changes. Other ROMs such as Mintberry MIUI and Onecosmic are quite significantly different from any of the stock ROMs.
They also depend on particular parts of the stock firmware. Onecosmic and MIUI both require gingerbread bootloaders to have been previously installed from a stock firmware package.
If you want my two cents on what to use, I am currently using Onecosmic RC2.11 (waiting for the phone to charge to full, then going to install RC3) and it is excellent. It is based on Ice Cream Sandwich, it runs quickly, and it looks beautiful.
There is a link to the XDA thread here.
