Google for the keywords (clockwork mod. stock rom. custom rom. cm7 rom. miui rom.)
read all the stickies you can find in captivate forum
read> learn> do
read>learn> do

If you got it rooted your part of the way there...
the best advice given was read> learn> do>
cant stress that enough.
Fortunately the Cappy is hard to totally brick, but...

Read Read. That all I have done. I have learn sooo much!! Soon much more to learn.!!!

You never learn enough to say you know too much.

The man that says, "I have nothing else to learn" has not learned anything.

Kernel for use with extended battery

I was wondering if it takes a special kernel to use an extended battery. I have my Evo flashed to CricKet and am using Jiminy IV for the rom, I bought a generic 3500ma battery and cant get it to charge. It is a brand new battery. My phone is rooted and nand unlocked. Anyone have any ideas ir suggestions?
Thanks

As far as I know there is no special kernel needed. You sure the cord is good? If so try rebooting and see if that does the trick. If not battery may not be good

Try this one. It's what I use.

My cord is fine. It works great with my stock battery.
As far as that link, it took me to a forum but not to a post or kernel.

Holy crap... seriously man?
I know you dont have any post besides this so ill be gentle
BUT
This is the development forum. Any and akk questions should go in the Q/A section. I know what your thinking already " well, this is a question for a DEVELOPER" or "this is a question ABOUT DEVELOPMENT" and unfortunately your logic is flawed.
Before for you post in the development forum, just ask yourself these questions. "What did i develop?" "What work am i sharing with the community?" If you cant answer those than you are in the wrong place and this place is generally pretty brutal about this subject.
Apparently I am missing something. Sorry for my ignorance

[Q] samsung galaxy s4g brick help

alright so i had one of my friends who has the vibrant on tmobile help me root and install darkys rom on my phone. since i had no idea i just let him do it since he has it on his phone. we rooted it use the onesuperclick. we took off the bloatwear and then put the rom on the sd card loaded it up in recovery and did the recovery then installed it. my phone hard bricked. nothing comes up or no download mood nothing even when pluged. but no worries i just send it to tmobile. but i wanna know if anyone can give me a guide to do this step by step so it dosent happen again when i get my phone back. thanks
The vibrant roms do not work on the 4g....until they are ported to 4g with the proper mods made to the rom they will cause a brick everytime

1. no matter how much it looks like it, the s4g isn't a vibrant. there are as of yet no custom roms available.
2. people like you and your friend are the reason carriers and manufacturers are going towards more restrictive ability to root and signed/encrypted bootloaders
theirs no roms for the 4g?

nice post for someone with 4 posts total.... reported.
Really though, when carriers stop insuring phones, this will be the reason why....
i had the same hard brick problem as above but for me it was weird. all i wanted at the time was to get rid of the bloat where and i did after which i unrooted and the phone worked fine. the weird thing is later i went in to download mode by accident and before i could do anything the phone was bricked. tmobile replaced My phone but if this has happened to anyone else please reply

sorry im a noob, im guessing its very hard
No...but I've already ported 5 i9000 Rome and captivate Roms...and bigfau has about the same if not more...look in the superthread...you will see them...and yes...porting is no picnic
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
You can choose any of them besides cm7 or miui and flash hellraiser directly after if I'm not mistaken
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
nothing hard about porting if you have the information but I'm sure it was no picnic for Linux bozo the first time. also if you want to run other roms not already ported then use the hellraiser mod and follow the flash instructions to the letter.
also why just i9000/ captivate roms. the vibrant has many good roms and I'm sure the sgs4g roms can also work considering we have even more in common with that phone than the regular galaxy s.
Actually it IS hard if you have never done it...that was my point.....it took me forever to get.my first port to boot...but when it does its like riding a bike after that....but anyway...just take your time and study....in non technical terms...open hellraiser and you'll see everything you need....SMDH!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I didn't mean it as a rebuttal to your post. its all relative. hard/not hard its all a matter of opinion and yeah I've banged my head over stuff that should be stupid easy. and porting the rom is not stupid easy so yeah it can be a headache.
for me app modding is hard, driver writing issues impossible, for my brother its all easy as long as he has documentation. he could easily run with the best xda devs if he had the interest, but he doesn't care much for phones.
for me interpreting blueprints and machining and programming cnc machines and welding aren't hard but to someone else what I do can look intimidating yet I can train anyone with some sense how to do any of those things in a short time.
but back to the op, if you are interested in releasing a rom port break everything down, see what goes into a cwm update package, then break down hellraiser but realize some of the tricks in that update script aren't needed for a onetime flash, there is a shell script that mods the build.prop, you can more easily pre mod the build.prop according to what that script would do and build it into the rom. but if you are just interested in the a certain rom for yourself then you can flash any gb rom for a GSM galaxy s and flash hellraiser back to back. do not reboot before you flash hellraiser that would be bad!

This is asked a lot. I'm sure others will elaborate, but at this time there is no ICS, I'm not aware of anyone with it working, but things change.

Thank you very much even though it was a disapointment you still helped. May I ask though, what rom and kernal are you running and how great and smooth is it? Im running something I flashed to get 2.3.something I dont remember and a kj1 kernal. Its not very smooth and I have to restart my phone atleast 4 times a day.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I tend to bounce between VB Final and MIUI using the included kernal.
Just about everything I flash is good stuff. I'm downloading unnamed now. Try the one click gremlin remover posted in the dev section. Right now I'm using VB final and it's as smooth as I need it to be.
That said, none of this relates to ICS. Lol

New idea: use Kies instead of CM10.1?

I've been toying with the idea of just downloading the Samsung update of 4.1.2 instead of CM10.1. My Captivate is running CM10.1, but only because 2.3.5 was the latest version of Android available. Should I go with 4.1.2 just to see if I like it first? I really like CyanogenMod, but will I be just as happy with 4.1.2? Will I still be able to use Kies even though my phone is already rooted and CWM is installed? All thoughts are appreciated!

I've read both your posts in Q&A and sounds like your basically asking the the same thing like everyone has suggested you really need to read lots more before you wind up with expensive paper weight. I know because I've done it before when I started tinkering I thought I had read enough when in actually I read just enough to get in trouble and had no way out. So again when the more experience ones say read you might want to continue reading. Just my two cents
