Who did not update to GB?

I kinda feel left out. It seems everyone has updated or at least tried to update to the Gingerbread release on LGs site.
But after reading how many people had complications or even bricked their phone, I decided not to try and update, hoping that an official "over the air" update will come from tmobile.
Am I the only one that decided it's to risky to try the update and is still on Froyo? Who else has concerns like mines?

I have not either. So far it seems more trouble than it's worth... Waiting on a good, stable release of GB from the devs!

Also waiting for a CM7 without driver issues. EaglesBlood Froyo til then.

I did not update. I've waited this long.. might as well wait for the official T-Mobile version.

Haven't updated either...I'm running xboarder's GB 2.3.4 and it's pretty stable...still get sod and have overheating issues but they don't happen often.
I want to try out the new update and baseband but don't want to brick my phone as so many have done, so ill just wait a littlebit longer...

Me neither. I wait for a flashable version with new LG drivers and baseband.

I have not either I'm waiting for the Ota...I'm still trying to find out if the update everyone is using is really official or not.

I haven't updated either, mine is the LGP999DWP phone and it keeps saying that my software is up to date. when I read the forums and see how many people are having issues updating to it, i am somewhat glad i can't update right now...wiating for the OTA from T-Mobile I hope they deploy it soon.

i'm also waiting for CM7 to get the latest drivers. but cm7 is already running 2.3.4 so i don't see any reason to downgrade to 2.3.3. from what i have been reading, my cm7 is equal to being as stable as the "OTA". it works great for me.

What GB update?
Lol. Its a downgrade from CM7. While it is nice sometimes to "just work" but my G2x is pretty good on CM7. Occassionally does a nightly give me fits.

Pretty much this. After using CM7 for so long, then using the newest Gingerbread leak, it just felt so wierd.

Faux123 for Dev *Join the revolution*

yea me neither plus the new miui rom for the g2x is sick

I have not. I tried but the LG updater freezes in Vista.

No update here. I am staying with froyo Dark &Sinister with Faux's kernel. I will only change after the Faux and the other developers incorporate this release inbto their work.
Why didn't LG update to 2.3.4 and skip 2.3.3?

Consensus seems to be that this is still just a development build. Also, given the amount of time it takes to test a ROM on a phone and the frequency that Google updates their OS, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the final shipped version is still 2.3.3.

[Q] Whats the newest official captivate rom out?

Im unfamiliar with the names of new roms, and want to try a new rom out. In the past I have used CM7, MIUI, apex, etc.
I am currently on Pinnacle 1.2 and I love it. From what i understand this is a KH3 rom, and was a official captivate rom, and this is why my battery life is so much better compared to CM and apex roms.
From now on i only want to stick with releases like pinnacle, for battery purposes. How do i know which releases are captivate releases, and which are I9000 or other roms?
Which rom is out right now that is the newest official captivate release? Also is there any new kernels that are compatible with pinnacle/new oficial captivate releases?
Thanks in advance.

1. Samsung never released any official GB ROM for our captivates, KH3 is also a leaked build, though have been pretty solid build.
2. KF1, KH3, KI1, KI2, KJ1, KJ2 and KJ3 are Captivate (I897) GB ROM base leaked so far.
3. There are few KJ3 custom ROMs out there.
4. KJ3 kernels (Boog's, Corn Kernel, Samurai & Red Nebula) should work with Pinnacle 1.2/1.3.

Samsung doesn't release the update, the carrier does. Rogers in Canada has released gingerbread officially for the captivate. And source code for the kernel.
Manufacturers are at the mercy of the carriers.
Cappy native builds usually start with k
I9000 start with j
Cm7 and miui are completely different altogether.

Ah, i see. So just leaks of gingerbread have been released so far? Is that the order they came out in? Is kj3 a better rom than kh3?
I basically just want to know which rom is based on what release - and how old that release has been out for. I see so many roms on xda, but really know nothing about the initial release that they are based on.
Is there a site everyone watches to wait for releases?

Do rogers builds work on captivate? i know the answer is yes, but i mean work like a (k) build does on my phone.

Like you, I like to stay stock as much as possible. Use Andromeda³ and Ursa Minor². It's Froyo and as close to official stock as you can get. It's a great ROM and really underrated with all the usual fixes you would expeect; exceptional performance, good battery life, GPS fixed, etc. It's really all you need. Slap on Go Launcher Ex and a nice theme and you're set.

Yes thats the order of Captivate GB updates....KH3 is most solid version yet with good battery, gps and over all performance...A new one has just popped up called KK1.....
The naming convention depends on the months and number of release...K is for 2011 in KH3 but H stands for the month and number(3) stands for the number of release that month...similarly for others...

try Samfirmware.com and XDA....but it will be all over the news if the official updates comes for captivate....like it came for Epic

I used a KJ3 ROM for a while, then went to KH3 (Pinnacle). I saw no difference in memory usage, etc. except that the KJ3 ROM was missing a bunch of ringtones (only came with digital phone), and the Gallery was pretty much unusable (black screen issue). For me, KH3 has been less buggy. Now there's a new leak out, but I'll wait to see if there are any real improvements before going through the trouble of flashing another ROM and configuring my phone again.

KK1is out now!

The first K stands for the year K=2011, the stock shipped firmware was JF6, J=2010. At least this is my understanding of it.

GB source code released. Build EP4D.

OTA is coming by end of month according to tech support.

mmm ep4d wonder what is changed in that hopefully the modem issues.
a leak would be great

It appears to be an older build than what we have. It's apparently based on 2.3.5. not sure if this is the OTA and is more stable, or if this is just something that Samsung released on their own.

this means cm7...right?DDDD

It might help improve the kernel, but I doubt it will get them any closer to the RIL, which is the real holdup.

NO it means nothing except a possible tool to improve the GB release........If you want CM7 then build it yourself

On the cm7 problem. Is the RIL problem that they can't get lte working? Could it be fixed for just 3g maybe? I remember When it came out for the evo. It didn't have 4g or HDMI for a long time.

Its not really a leak now that the source code has been released to the public. This is a very strange situation, though, that it appears to be an earlier build than what was leaked weeks ago.

p3 tweeted me that their leak is newer - also, it is the ver. being pushed OTA by VZW today (i created a thread)
ED4 must be the kernel, EP4 must be refined in some other fashion.

The latest ep4p leak is 2.3.6 and the OTA ep4d is 2.3.5. It's not really that strange at all considering they build iterative builds with constant changes, bug fixes, etc. And a later build can easily have changes that introduced a new bug from a previous build. With iterative agile development this is not strange at all, in fact I fully expect it, as well as fully expect there are even later builds than ep4p.

That makes no sense. The ROM and kernel versions usually match. This is leaving me scratching my head.
My brother's phone is still running an old version of EP1W and I have to wonder if it would be a good idea to upgrade to EP4P or wait. I'm not sure what to do.
To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question.

Thank you for the lesson on software development. Could you explain source control to me too?

Any devs that want it can download it from my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360144
I have it as a whole download, just the kernel, or just the platform.

Hey can you help me I am a noob yesterday with some help I flashed clockwork mod then imoseyon 4.0.0 Today being still unhappy found and flashed eg2 Gingerbread stock debloated only to find out its outdated could you at least post the link to flash the latest ep4d?

[Q] Android 2.4 ROM?

Is it possible to build a ROM off of an OS that doesn't officially exist?
Meaning, would I be able to build an Android 2.4 ROM, based off various SDKs?
And if so, how would I do this?
Thanks to all!

But Android 2.4 does exist, here's the proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrAjgYDx7yU

1- Isn't that a developer version of 2.3? Unreleased?
2- I wanted to build it off of 2.3, 3.0, and 4.0, if that would even be possible, and then have it look unlike anything Android has released yet.
And 3- Thank you for that video. I didn't think it existed

2.x.whatever is just a software version. So if you are using the baseline code of 2.3, it is still a 2.3 gingerbread based ROM. And if it is a custom ROM, you can call it what ever you want. myrom 6.9..doesn't matter. The only way it is officially 2.4 is if you use the 2.4 source code as the baseline for your ROM. Implementing features from different software versions doesn't make it an official new version of android. When Cyanogen 7 came out based off of gingerbread, it had way more features than 2.3.3. But since it was based off of 2.3.3, the software version was still 2.3.3...Kind of a jumbled post, but hope it helped shed some light.

Just build it off of ics and put whatever features you want into it. I'm not really sure what you want to do. You could build it from froyo or something and make it look like something different.

But could you modify the settings .apk to make it say 2.4? If not, then can you mix and match apps from different version system dumps, or would you need to modify them?
I'm totally new to this, so I don't know how to do any of this
Thanks!

But just modifying the ROM to say a different version doesn't mean anything. You can make your gingerbread based ROM say software version 1.5...but that doesn't make it a cupcake ROM...

No offense but you seem like you shouldn't be making roms anyway. Its very difficult.

None taken, I just want to figure out how so I can make my own rom, due to the fact that all the roms available for the DInc are either really bad, or boring (except MIUI)

I agree, and I guess if your up to it there are some tutorials on the forums or Google it. It would be cool to see something new like that.

How are the roms for the droid incredible "boring"? Have you looked at what newtoroot, jermaine, mcd, incubus, ihftp, and joelz have been doing for the phone in terms of development? Look in the dev thread, tell me inc2 mctwist is "boring." And then tell me that "android 2.4 is cool"

I guess 'boring' was the wrong word. I've had the Incredible for a year, and I've gotten tired of Sense, I hate it now. I guess I should've specified farther- I hate Sense, and all the AOSP roms (other than MIUI) are boring.

DesignGears' ICS include 2.3.6 goodness?

I'm still on (rooted) Stock 2.3.5. Even the the last round of 2.3.6 failed to install, so I never got any of the new 2.3.6 goodness I heard some describing -- new modem, drivers, etc. for better connectivity and longer battery.
Does the ICS leak brought to us by DesignGears include all of that extra goodness I was supposed to be getting in 2.3.6?

You will get a new modem, new firmware, new OS that will be better than 2.3.6. ICS 4.0 and GB 2.3.6, comparing the two, are like comparing apples and oranges.

That's what I was hoping.
When 2.3.6 made the rounds I read some stuff got skipped if you just flashed the ROM (i.e. the newer modem?)
I guess this leak is more than *just* the 4.0 ROM then.
