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.

Hi,
Please don't burn me about a new post I've done a lot of phone research to get to the Infuse. The options for an "android development newb" are many. And not sure what a kernel and Rom is...Rom is the operating system right?
Basically looking for a stable/best operating system with priority in audio quality for headphones.
Ive read abit about the Voodoo for the wolfson chip in the Infuse. Read about a leaked version of Android 2.3.5 available but it may have some 'rainbow' effect?..
Basically trying to find the best rom, kernel and whatever, their are so many.
Thanks.
EDIT: Looking to use 'Voodoo control plus' app and 'Voodoo Screen Tuning' app so need compatible rom & kernel.
It really is going to be personal preference all the roms I have tried are pretty damn stable I have seen people really liking caty rom though prob try that first
Other popular one I used to see in google searches was MIUI, infused might be good, is it closer to stock ROM? Stock roms are probably safer ie not losing BT?
Interested in this [KERNEL]Community Kernel v8 - (7/17/11) - Voodoo sound v10
Catyrom and numas are infuse stock based roms like infused....everything works

Miui and cm7 are not...they are aosp roms and have issues with bluetooth working..

Did AT&T ever release official Gingerbread version?
UCKI4 is way old....we are up to UCKL2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
So is ROM I997UCKL2 [2.3.6] stock, reliable, likely to work with apps?
EDIT want a good stock app not one messed with (not insult) Messed with could be improvement.
Umm yes...its stock infuse rom

Going from this download list; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
"ROM" in the download title indicates it's stock (from Samsung or AT&T) & the one that says ie "Stock UCKJ4 [Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox] [2.3.6]" is the stock rom with things done to it like rooted??
Is video fine on KL2?

Video only works with that rom if you have the correct kernel I do believe.
I would suggest going here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021 and downloading the one with 3e recovery. That enables access to modifications such as voodoo control, while maintaining a stable stock environment. The simplest voodoo kernel you can use is the voodoo community kernel, which can be found in the infuse super thread under the android development section of this forum.
Hope this helps!
I am also new to the Infuse. I had the AT&T Captivate that I was able to flash to Rogers 2.2 and it was great. Rogers allows more control of the phone and was very stable. I then got greedy and tried to flash a Rogers GB rom and bricked my phone. I read that the Infused rom is based on Rogers but it seems to have some bugs.

No bugs in Infused. The Rogers firmware doesn't have HDMI support, because the Rogers phone doesn't have HDMI out. Other than that, Infused is the best stock ROM for this phone. Once AT&T releases GB, we'll probably get another update, but there's no bugs. If you flashed an Infuse ROM on a Captivate, well... there's your problem. I can't tell from your post if that's what happened or not.

I disagree that the infused is the best ROM. Its a good ROM, but IMO CatyRom or Numas, are better. I ran infused for a long time as well as a lot of Ports. The Ports are fun, lots of customization and bells and whistles, but the 2 I mention as well as the infused are the best for what you're looking for I think.
Infused is outdated though.
I prefer these because they are native to infuse.
I suggest
1) CatyRom
2) Numas
3) Infused v2.3.3
The ICS version of Caty has a MIUI music player that is awesome. Also there is a free app called audio FX that I use for an eq and its great.

Might try Catyrom, but probably will one of the latest leaks "ROM I997UCKL2 [2.3.6]" or "UCKL2[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, and CRT off]" I'm led to believe theyr both stock.
If I go with first UCKL2 I will need to root it to run the voodoo apps. If I root it will I lose video and HDMI? If so how do you fix it? Would I be better to go with the latter UCKL2 (already rooted)?
Note I may be upgrading from froyo (I havent got the phone yet).
Also not sure on the flashing procedure, I found this; any good or bit outdated? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160

Experiment- Thanks for the advise. I think I will give the caty a try. Is it based on Rogers?
It has some rogers framework in it but its 90 percent infuse guts..lol

I edited post for lack of replies. What's a good kernel to go with Uckl2 for over clocking CPU and not losing features like hdmi and video?
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.

yup, its an entire **phone** update, and I'm jealous :-D
Mainly for Canadians.
If you want to use it on I727R with ICS Rom. please ONLY flash the base file (no RIL).
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4333782/Bell_Note_Base.zip
If you want to try it on different gingerbread flavors, you can flash the one with RIL. DO NOT flash this one on ICS, otherwise you will not get signal.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4333782/Bell_Note_Base_RIL.zip
After you flash the radio file, ICS may not identify the baseband properly(from About Phone). On GB TPC v3 can detect the baseband properly though.

I flashed the Rogers no RIL, works great, better bars, however how damaging it to have unknown baseband?
not damaging at all, the rom will merely identify baseband as "unknown," as u said.
Im curious to know how much better this modem performa compared to the UCALC4. I had problems flashing it before, but once i got it to stick performance has been great, receptions is better and speed on par with UCLA3. Can other rogers users with LTE weigh in on this? Preferably those in the GTA and Vancouver.
does the resolve the unknown caller issue
Hey gey just here to give my feedback about this modem. (I live in GTA)
Personally, I've experienced slower data speeds and bars of reception with this modem as compared to the UCALC4 modem.
On this modem (no ril) I acquired about 20 mbps down and 8 up where as with the UCALC4 modem, I experienced about 26 mbps and 13 up.
Also, with the no ril modem, I was receiving 3 bars while on the UCALC4, I was receiving 4 bars.
maybe because it is a bell modem and rogers will release their own?
I made this for some users can try to use Bell's dual channel HSPA+ as y2whisper advised. For LTE it may not as good as rogers or UCLA4.

but to be honest im running 4g which is another 3g+ and i didn't see any difference but my battery was going upside down lol..as far as ucalc4 once it settles, its wayy better then then RUKJ7 that we have with rogers..
for me its helpful since i am using the device on bell. and well i don't have the same coverage with bell as you do with rogers for LTE. so figured why not get the best hspa+ speeds as i can get.

I tried UCLA3 on ICS yesterday because I can't get LTE on UCALC4. Anyway, it doesn't work. It gives no signal and under 'about phone' it says unknown baseband.
did u try the ics specific one leeC posted?
My mistake, I didn't flash the ICS specific UCLA3. Didn't know of it. Flashed the GB one (no signal) -then flashed back to UCALC4 radio. Ill try ICS UCLA3 soon (it would sure help if someone could post the link so I know for sure)
UCALC4 doesn't seem to be working too well for me. I get LTE very rarely for few seconds at a time only, but mostly not. I always had LTE before though.
I see this Bell Radio works on Rogers i727R. I have not tried it yet myself. I am on TCP v3 still, and looking to try a ICS rom with a new radio, but I am trying to find the Rogers radio in case I want to revert to gb ? Any thoughts ? this is the only radio post i see in the thread, thanks
This thread is actually in the wrong section, general or even dev section would have been better, but I digress.

And is working on ATT since is rogers base?
ucla3 works great for both rogers and at&t, so no worried there
I can also confirm that the rogers stock radio works with SKY ICS rom. Although I did update to UCLA4 and have experienced no issues.
I try install this baseband UCLA3 in the ICS leak and the SKY ICS and not work, I no have signal, I try to install again UCLA4 baseband and now say baseband unknown for now I have superlite 3.1 works perfect
