Hello all,
I am new to the forums so I apologize if I posted in the wrong place! I am looking for a Froyo rom for the Samsung Mesmerize, I have spent quite a bit of time looking and have been quite unsuccessful so far. All I am looking for is a basic Froyo Rom, something that would be close to what Samsung themselves would actually release. I am new to Android so I do not know where to look exactly. I have hacked the PSP, jailbroken iPods, and installed custom roms for Windows Mobile phones so I am no total noob in the hacking aspect. If somebody could just point me in the way of some safe froyo roms that would be much appriciated, thanks in advance!
you can not yet
I think jt has a clean mesmerize rom for you...

There are no roms Froyo based at the moment but the current rom that is avalible is Deodexed and clean (striped of extra bloat) It is an Eclair DI14 based Rom. There is also voodoo and nonvoodoo kernels avalible and I just posted some MODS I created Accurate battery and notification Icon changes, as well as it gives you Custom bootanimations if you choose the voodoo kernel,as this kernel supports custom bootanimations...All kernels can use this mod you just wont have bootanimation change if you choose nonvoodoo...Hope this helps

Ok, so it looks like the Miui ROM posted on the I9000/Vibrant forums that uses the Custom Bilboa1 CM7 Kernel works for the Captivate.
Here is the Link to Bilboa1's Kernel thread:

Follow the direction on the I9000 thread and substitute the CM7 captivate kernel in. Also it is noted that you have to flash the CM7 kernel right after flashing the beta 3.zip file (the zip file installs a I9000 kernel). Good luck hunting

there is already a miui port but from the fascinate. i would love to see a more functional; version though. just need someont to get the aosp kernel straitened out and reorient it. but that takes a lot of work.
Miui was being worked on and it was dropped. Have to ask master because he was the thread Creator for the captivate port as to why it was stopped. He is a vibrant dev.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine

it could be something as simple as one idiot making a flaming post, and master getting pissed off and quiting, but as far as i knew darkyy and DG were in on it too, and both of those are experienced on cappy. however, darkyy has his own rom to focus on and im sad to say it but it kinda looks like DG has moved to focus on his atrix. Not that i blame him, but i know that i will miss his work

MIUI was picked up by the french developer jblanc, and then tinkered some by another dev in i9000 land. It's basically the NS port of gingerbread miui jammed together with CM7 and bilboa's kernal for CM7 one. So we do need a reoriented kernel, as the one they are using is not the CM7 since it wouldn't boot properly. Please don't spam the thread with requests for ETAs like what happened to the old Miui thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
I have been following that thread. It looks to be much further along than the last port. This one reads like it will end up being usable, once ported here. I am running cm7 and bilboa has a captivate version of his kernel. May have to give it a run when I can afford dealing with a soft brick
CM7
Wasn't asking for ETAl, just didn't know if anyone saw. Its not the port Master put out there it was the nexus S port the uses that custom CM7 kernel. It has some of the same problems as CM7 but its miui. Seriously this is an awareness thread no flame. We have a Bilboa Kernel for Captivate, is why I'm saying why it might be possible

I would not pay mind to those who enter threads just to criticize without reading or knowing what they are talking about.
If this works on the captivate it would have all of the same "bugs" as cm7 as it is using all the set up including a custom kernel built from cm7 source.
Reading the thread it its farther along than the last port as wifi, data, and calls work. It is also gingerbread where as the last port was 2.2.1.

Has anyone tried using it on the Captivate with Bilboa's kernel? I might have some time later today to try.
Ok I got it to boot following the instructions from the MIUI thread in the i9000 forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
All I did was subsitute the captivate equivalent files from CM7. I also had to flash a captivate modem from the CM7 section too. going to test it out now.
Ok FYI after you do these steps and Flash MIUI Beta 3 it will install a i9000 kernel and modem. You will have to go after the initial steps and install a captivate CM7 Kernel and Modem.
So you used bilboas captivate kernel after you flashed the beta 3 zip?

It already work, albeit it has bugs. Try it out
There is a new leak of gingerbread out for the SGS over in the I9000, and apparently this is supposed to be version that will be the official release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
Nice, hopefully it doesn't take forever to see it officially released like it did with Froyo!
Waiting for source
I'm not too worried about AT&T, I believe once the source is released we will have many official releases XDA style
once the source is out we will have it. thank god for xda! and of coarse supercurio! i have been rocking out to music for the last couple days thanks to voodoo sound, not that the sound was bad before but now i can really appreciate it. also getting some better iem's (in ear monitors) the samsung ones are ok, well for an included accessory they are amazing but nothing compared to what is out there. i wouldnt think about getting a different phone right now. but i will see if the infuse has the hifi wolfson amp in it. the galaxy s 2 looks amazing but makes me wonder what will be out when i am up for a new contract.
Neat, hope the source appears sooner rather than later after the official release.
Lol... I must be losing it. And official sgs 2.3 leaks and this is the extent of the discussion. .... Lol wtf.
most people are more excited by cm7 for some reason. this is what i will use as soon as a reorient kernel comes about, all i can do is hope the source is realesed shortly. i think it was available pretty quick after jpx/jpy were released so i think it wont take long.
Nevermind

Regardless... It's a big deal. And none of the other threads made it very far. At all.
Go look at the i9000 forums. They're littered with posts and 2.3 sgs roms. All we have are crickets.
To be fair, we don't have the source available, so the leaked rom is kind of useless to us. It's a neat novelty, just to flash for a few minutes to see what's in store, but it's definitely not something you would use daily.
Just downloaded the Rom.. anyone know of a good kernel to use with this rom?? will CM7 kernel work with this rom? since its 2.3.3

Highly doubtful.. It should come with a compatible kernel and modem packaged in to it.
I wouldn't flash it straight through odin if I were you, though. If you have access to a linux machine, you should repackage it as a cwm flashable zip that doesn't flash boot or sbl, otherwise you risk either perma-bricking your phone or locking your bootloader.
My memory must be going. I remember us having ported i9000 2.2 roms well before the source dropped.

Stock kernel will boot, but there will be sound logic, screen orientation, button mapping...... problem list extends
Not until Sammy realeses the source code of GS gingerbread ROM that we can have reoriented kernels.

No... We didn't have reoriented kernel until JPM source was released. And before that, we were playing with the leak JI6 Captivate Froyo.
Guess it's time to start taking vitamins.

Vibrant owners have a port of this already, so yes it would seem that reorienting can be done without source, but devs aren't touching this for some reason...I really hope that changes cause I want to try this out but don't have the knowledge base to try to reorient the kernel myself and don't have time to learn currently.
No source, no kernel, no ROM. That simple.

RaverX3X posted an ODIN flashable 2.3.6 stock ROM in the Developer section. It's the same files that came from Samsung via Kies Mini. It is not modded at all.
I believe the OP is talking about Vanilla Android, no skins like Touchwiz etc...Airfluip's AOSP may be the closest visually, but to my knowledge there is currently no actual Vanilla Android.
Well the OP can always get a 3rd party launcher with an AOSP theme.

Vanilla Android, as I understand, is what is straight from Google and doesn't have customized interfaces or apps that the carriers put on the phone.

Ah, misinterpretation on my part. Was thinking stock, not vanilla per-se. Thanks for the clarification.
Vanilla Android = AOSP
with the way samsungs ROMs are built, we probably won't have a true AOSP rom, but Airfliup has done a pretty good job at making a ROM that looks and feels like AOSP. It's in the dev section, so check it out.
Thanks for all the responses guys. Yeah, im looking for a true vanilla rom and i tried using the stock gingerbread launcher but it seems a little laggy to me ontop of several roms that i have tried. You would think since the nexus s is so close to our family a vanilla rom would be easy to port over. Oh and do you guys happen to have a link to Airfluip's AOSP? I tried searching for it but came up with no luck. Thanks again guys

Do you guys happen to know if there is anyway to port a rom from the nexus s as it is a similar device to our galaxy s?
Okay this question has been bugging me for a while now. Everyone is waiting on RC aka Ricardo AKA..... on getting the ported p990 to then be ported over to p999. We have many fine Developers here like Eagleblood , Rafase282, tonyp, Kashamalaga and many MIA ones that may or may not return like nycelitemaster, owain94, x0xhellx0x and my favorite Mr. Apocalypse.
My question is simple and would love one of these guys to answer it if possible.
Why are we waiting for RC to port it over when anyone of you guy have done it before. Am I wrong when saying that most of you have ported P990 over to P999 before? I respect everyone I have named. You have brought new life to my G2X. JUst wondering why we wait for RC, like he is the only one who can do this. Please if I am missing something let me know. thanks
I believe they are waiting for a more stable release of CM10 for the P990 before they bother to port it over for the P999. They should have many of the same bugs that need to be worked out. There is no need to do it twice.
I felt the same thing. Can some of the Developers list above or others I missed confirm this? Maybe this can stop or slow down the rants. The only reason I feel it may not be a difficult thing to do it because of this guys post...
Lezo OS
Hello everyone.
This is a port of the P990 Lezo OS a CM based rom. I am not a developer, just someone who was lucky enough to have this work It's just another piece of a so called "Crack Flashing Series". There are plenty of roms provided to our community, and this also brings people with different likes and dislikes. I aim only to share some of the other roms out there with the community. Maybe you want to try something out inbetween updates from your favorite rom, well, try this.
None of this would out be possible without the help of guides from dubntz and blindndumb. If you like any of the ports thank them as well.
This guy has done it before with other p990 Roms with little experience.
When we were on Cm7 we were able to port roms by using the already created cm7 base. The problem now is we don't even have a P999 cm10 base to port with, which is why we're waiting on RC since he needs to create the base.

We need kernel and some of the drivers for our device which only ricardo has for jb. Like all of you, i am myself waiting for it. I might be moving on to nexus4 depending on money in hand. 16gb will run for almost $400 after tax.

Don't we already have the drivers and Kernal? They are part of p990 and then don't they just need to port it over.
More then likely it would be easier to port tonyps experimental ics. We can compile a kernel for it and have the drivers. We just need the experience lol

Here's what I think based off what I have read:
I think first and foremost, our Dev's who all own P990's are working in wrapping their wits around the sources for their phones, us and our G2x's are the red-headed step-children (figuratively) of LG. The phone has potential, but gets little attention. I also believe that the Devs are waiting for a kernel to be built with the new sources, which those sources have to be altered to work with the G2x, as they did for the O2x. Something which I don't think our Devs want to do. I may be wrong, but I would think that Bene, or Dj V. have the know-how to do it. Again, we're back to the fact that they're (understandably) going to do work for their phones first.

As far as I know, the kernel sources for su660 has some issues compiling kernel for p999. It can be one of the reason why we don't have cm10 yet. I believe the developers are working on it. Also the kernel source comes with locked boot loader. So its essential to port old boot loader which is not locked to the new kernel. This might also be preventing other developers from building kernel. If I have time, I will try to see if I can compile the kernel with old boot loader or not this weekend. I am a full time science student. I think to port the p990 ROM we just need a p999 kernel and some p999 specific drivers such as ril drivers. I do hope the cm10 comes asap though. I might be wrong.
While I do not consider myself a developer, I thank you for listing me there. I personally do not have the time and knowledge required to build a cm10 base for the p999 based off the p990. The kernel and rom needs to be change to work for our phones. Also as it was said already, it would make no sense to make an early port, based on RC work which will most likely piss him off if we start kanging and using his work while it is not even stable enough to build for our phone. So I would say that out of respect and time/knowledge required most people able to make the port would either wait for help debugging the p990 version so it can be ported to other devices without the same issues to be fixed twice or more times.
In order to port you need a current rom with jb drivers for our phone. Porting will rip the kernel out of our rom and plug it into the ported rom. Thus why we can't port yet.

A regular port from one rom to another with a CM base is mostly replacing a bunch of files with the ones you which to port while keeping the specific libs and files for your particular device, so besides the kernel, you need to make a compatible base if there is not one, then the proprietary blobs and editting files to fix issues. Porting can be very easy or very hard depending what you want to port.
who wants a kernel?
I've posted a kernel built from the cm10 lge-kernel-star repo in the dev thread, maybe somebody feels like taking it for a spin.
was wonder why the mixed results on the p990 CM 10 by RC then it hit me they have like 14 basebands. Things should be better for us we only have 2.

In theory, I believe that a main issue for our guys did have to do with the absence of lge_star_ril being not present in the sources. That then caused the data, Gps, and battery issues.

Which is the problem for the G2x when it comes to Wifi Calling for example...the Kinecto .ko is a GB module at best. Same goes for the Tegra HDMI blob(whch I monkeyed around a very LONG time with);thankfully the P990 has the same HDMI blob. We will never have as good of a port as the P990 because at least the P990 has a ICS leak so kangers for P990 can use modules that work better in ICS leak in CM while all we have to build on is GB blobs and libs.

Is the lge_star_ril something LG was supposed to have included? From my (limited) kernel knowledge, that bit seems pretty vital to having a properly working phone.
Without it, how hard is it going to be to get working calls/data/gps without having serious battery and quality issues as you've alluded to?
It was missing from the old sources, and yea, like I said alot of the deal-breaking issues were due to that, the ICS (which I think was already hacked) was hacked into JB.
