Okay really nooby question i know and i can only presume the answer but if i debrand my phone to Eclair JM8 firmware and reboot will kies then find the desired froyo update for me or will i need to do all further updates through odin?
To be honest if you're going to do that, you may as well slap a custom rom on and take advantage of a modded kernel and all the tweaks IMHO
Trying to stay with the standard ROMs until cyanogen release a stable ROM for the i9000 - which they seem to be taking forever with
You can always play around with diffo roms until CM is sorted, that's what I'm doing.
I suspect in a few months it will go like the winmo scene where virtually all the roms are the same give or take a few pre installed apps and themes
I used to frequently change ROM on my i8910 with hyperx but got sick of the ROM changing formatting the phone and for me to keep running the backups. Think that's why i'm trying to go standard for a bit.
Which custom ROM would you say is the best for the i9000 at the moment and is it stable? Might well go down this path
At the moment I have Doc's V9 BUJP with hardcore's K9a kernel and JP5 radio, I would recomend that apart from for some strange reason I've literally just lost my data connection by mobile, only got WiFi now lol
ho hum, time for a fiddle
Cheers, shall have a look into them.
Hi there, my friend is coming round soon and I was planning to give it a custom rom
Now, I've done this type of stuff before (on my nexus) I just want to see how you would do it for this samsung phone
Now, what recoveries can you get? I use 4EXT on mine
And, can anybody send me to a stable and up-to-date rom that can be used everyday and has nearly no issues? I need one without all the samsung stuff, just a normal default android one
And, how would I go by rooting the phone?
On mine, I used the zergrush exploit, does it work for this phone??
If you want one with everything working, then use the Froyo roms. CM7 is under development. The major bugs are bluetooth and youtube hq. Leaving that, even thats useable. It's even better than Froyo.
I suggest you to try either Kyorarom or Kyrillos v9.6. Both of them are froyo based, pre-rooted, and have other mods to make it even more faster than a stock one.
Happy flashing!

Thanks, and how do I go about flashing the rom, would I have to root it first?
No need.
This is something to good to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
BTW to root the phone use super one click root (or sth like that )
Ah, I get it now, thanks
Just one more question, does ODIN delete the phones data before installing the rom?
You have to wipe all your data after flashing(or not if from Froyo to Froyo)
I mean from recovery. ODIN don't delete user data
I exactly I don't know the working of odin, but after flashing you are directly taken to the recovery and advised to wipe data and factory reset.
Okay, I have gotten my phone rooted, and am ready for a new ROM, but I am running into a roadblock- most ROMs seem to need you to be S-OFF to work. :-( Since half the threads still assume you can't root an S-ON Doubleshot, there isn't much discussion of which ROMs are appropriate.
Any suggestions of stable, mature ROMs that will work on an S-ON Doubleshot of these specifications?
hboot 1.45.0013
S-ON
Unlocked Bootloader
ClockworkMod Recovery working
Rooted
My specifics:
Currently running a slightly-cleaned-up version of stock, don't remember which link (sorry). I borked my base install, so until I find a true stock ROM or backup, staying with stock and just cleaning it up isn't an option.
Other than the fact that I prefer Go Launcher Ex to Sense, I really didn't mind the stock ROM. I suspect that I will enjoy greater speed with a new ROM, but my main concern is stability. I don't have a backup phone, so this one needs to work very well. I wouldn't mind some of the improvements in ICS, but I don't know how many of my preferred apps have updated for it, so sticking with GB seems safer.
I do want the Play Store rather than Google Market, which seems to be an issue for no reason I can find (even on the stock before I started all of this I had trouble getting it to update). Other than that, I just want stuff to work properly. I am willing and able to be a good error reporter, but I would prefer not to need that capability on a day-to-day basis.

Obviously, I will keep poking around on my own, but I figured asking publicly would be a good thing for others with the same limitation.
Try Bulletproof, I have been running it for a long time now, and I have found that everything works, and has way less issues than the stock rom. Just make sure you flash the kernel through fastboot before flashing the rom through recovery. Follow the directions in this thread. You can use any of our roms with this method, just gotta flash the kernel through fastboot first.

Edit: I know this works, because my boyfriend had to get an insurance replacement, and it had the new hboot. So my boyfriend is on the same hboot as you, unlocked, and S-on. He had me do this for him, because he kept having alot of random reboots on stock.
Bulletproof vs. MikTouch
Thanks very much for the suggestion! Haven't read up on Bulletproof yet- will go to that thread next.
Have you tried MikTouch? I am basically reading the ROM threads that look likely, and it seems to be the more-updated version of Bulletproof. Long thread, and I'm just now getting near the end, but it seems likely to be okay. Not sure if it sounds better or not, just wondering if you had compared, or just like Bulletproof enough to want to stick with it.
I have tried alot of the ICS roms, and always found something that didn't work right. I have heard good things about Miktouch, but I haven't tried it, because it just seemed so similar to Bulletproof, and I haven't had any issues with Bulletproof yet. When I do change roms it will be to an ICS rom, but so far none of them are quite where I need them yet. I see that fantastic progress is being made with CM9 though, so that is what rom I have my eye one once all the wrinkles are ironed out.
CM9 Alpha 4 works perfectly for me, but other people have reported bugs.

I run the MikTouch 0.7 ROM with the Genius and other patches, and Strapped's 1.7GHz kernel. I have the phone running at 1.5GHz max, 192Mhz min and the smartassv2 governor. I'm getting a day+half normal usage on the stock original HTC battery! The ROM/Kernel combo is very smooth, and it has all the benefits of the latest 1.63.531.2 HTC ROM (which was a very nice improvement over the previous releases). I like a stock-based ROM simply because this phone is my ONLY phone, I need it to be rock-solid stable and everything to work as it should without any surprises or stand-on-your-head-with-finger-in-ear to get it to work.
I am looking to flash my phone to ICS/Jelly Bean and have some questions.
1. Does updating to those ROMs impact multitasking? I wonder because they probably eat up a lot more RAM and when I use browsers, I tend to open a lot of tabs which is heavy on RAM usage
2. Is there a performance difference between JB and ICS on the Cappy?
3. Should I go with a built-in kernel or flash a separate one?
4. My phone has never had its kernel changed, same default filesystem, lag etc. etc., should I do anything extra before flashing?
5. I read on another post on the front page that the JB/ICS ROMs also use the internal SD card, mine is mostly full at the moment, how much space do the new ROMs take up?
Thanks for any help. Been considering flashing for a year but my phone recently got the lock screen button stuck problem and now I'm at a crossroads, either I buy a new phone entirely or maybe try to keep this one for a year until my contract runs out and deal with the lock screen problem.

1. In my experience multitasking isn't a problem on either but I don't open a lot of tabs in my browser so could be different for you.
2. If you want good clean performance go with ICS. Jelly Bean roms are still more or less in beta.
3. As far as kernels go stick with the kernel built into the from unless it instructs you otherwise. Or if you are looking for some feature that one kernel offers that another doesn't.
4. Read, read, and then read the instructions again for whatever rom you are going to and follow them. Depending on where you are starting from you may have to do different things.
5. I've personally never paid attention to how much it uses the internal SD if at all. I do know that some ICS and Jelly Bean roms have potential to format your SD card during the flash so make sure you do a backup before moving forward.
When you say the lock screen are you talking about the power button? If yes be very careful moving forward with any flashing. I say that because the power button is used to put the phone into recovery. There are other methods to get into recovery but they don't work for everyone.

I guess that is a good point. My lock screen buttons works but not 100% of the time. Originally the problem hit and it didn't work at all, now it works probably 70% of the time. I didn't remember that I would need it to get into recovery. Maybe I would need to buy a jig, but I guess I should flash now in case it stops working entirely down the line.
I'm also considering buying an S3 but it is quite expensive, at least $620 for it unlocked.
I had wanted to jump into JB because I was looking for decent performance and I don't think I'll be flashing a ton. I've got like 80 apps, tons of home screen stuff etc. that I don't want to restore many times. I just figured if JB is faster, I'd rather go with it.
Thanks for the helping me out.
A jig isn't the best bet because it forces it into download mode. If your button is currently working go for it. Jelly bean roms will eventually be the best thing out there but most of the roms for it haven't been perfected yet.
I have been on everything from 2.1 and up and I can tell you ICS is the best stable thing out there. At least in my opinion.

I've run a rooted 2.2, a rooted 2.3.5, and a few different ROM's, I find that the easiest to use so far is JB, depending on the ROM itself you may run into a few issues with battery drain, but it's not horrible. Multitasking is fine, but I have OS monitor and a RAM booster for quick mem clearing. The only problems that I've ran into with JB ROM's is that you have make sure the internal memory card is backed up, otherwise you'll lose everything you have on it.
I too have thought about getting a SG3, but after flashing the JB ROM, I think I'm satiated until I absolutely have to upgrade my phone.... meaning I'm probably going to stick with this one for another year or so depending on if I'm able to keep it in decent enough shape. For the CM10 ROM's, they've removed the /datadata folder so that may affect slight performance. I got used to it after flashing a ROM that kept the /datadata folder and noticed that it wasn't giving me enough space to work my usual programs on a consistent basis. But overall I'm content with the ROM I chose and the performance so far.

That is true but adb wouldn't help him much if he's stuck in a boot loop. That's when a functioning power button is important.

According to my expirience, ICS much better in multitasking, comparing with GB. ICS kernel consumes less RAM and more stable.

If you a going to install CM or AOKP, you defiantly have to install custom kernel. You will also have to install custom baseband (modem). I suppose, same goes to other roms.

Yes. RTFM for the rom you are going to flash. You will have to wipe data and cache, and maybe update bootrom.
I am reading stuff, but a lot of guides say 'Coming from GB' BUT they DO NOT say 'coming from stock', so I wasn't sure if those guides were applicable.
Will CM10 wipe my SD card?
Thanks for all the help so far. Going to flash within a couple of days.
I was figuring Helly Bean but most of the JB roms want you to flash CM10 first anway, so I'll try that out.

Tried following that guide.
Heimdall links are all dead.
Opened Odin, downloaded speedmod kernel, figured I'd install it, then download the rom to SD card and go. I was pretty sure speedmod works with stock Captivate.
Flashed speedmod and now my phone is stuck on the Galaxy S boot screen.
So yeah...that sucked.
Now I'm trying to restore stock with Odin but the instructions don't even say how.
Yeah this is why I don't see myself flashing very often...
And that guide needs more detail.
Ok, well I managed to install CM9.
I'm going to stick with it for now because a couple of you guys warned me off of Jelly Bean.

I'm currently on the 8/13 nightly build of Helly Bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783064)
I can say that this particular ROM is ready for use as a daily driver. I've been using it for about a week now and haven't experienced any problems.
With that said, it is important to note that as said before, JB roms are still in beta, including this one. Also it is important to say that I did a completely clean install of this particular ROM (Factory data reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, etc).
Just thought I let ya know that not all JB roms are scary right now. If you're interested in possibly flashing it, here's the official website: http://hellybean.site11.com/index.html
Don't forget to backup your /EFS folder though, recently some people have had problems with their imei being switched, but this is easily avoidable if you take the proper precautions. Other than that, this ROM is great.
Yeah, I actually mentioned Helly Bean on page 1, it was the JB rom I was considering because it was getting rave reviews.
I had a scare last night about my IMEI then I remembered my IMEI doesn't match my box because it was warranty replaced with a refurb for the shutdown issue, lol, I was freaking out but good thing is it made me backup the EFS folder.
Thanks for the support.
I'll give Helly Bean a try in a bit, I hear it is very snappy and I'm excited about that, coming from stock Gingerbread, I really appreciate an OS that doesn't run like crap!
Does Helly Bean wipe your internal SD card? I was searching for that and couldn't find anything, so I think that means no, but wanted to make sure!

As with any custom ROM there is a potential for odd things happening on one phone that doesn't happen on another. With that being said I flashed helly bean and it didn't format my SD card nor has it effected my efs folder like some people have had trouble with.
Your best bet is to backup everything important to you and the operation of your phone prior to flashing just to be safe.

Backup your efs folder before flashing anything
A few questions before I try Helly Bean, I noted that the kernel is separately available on the download site, am I supposed to flash it separately or is it included with the ROM? The flashing guide doesn't say anything about flashing a kernel.
And I should be able to flash it directly from CM9, correct?
Also this ROM is a lot bigger than CM9, 180MB vs 300MB, does that mean I have far less internal SD space available?

I installed Helly Bean but for me, it is laggier than CM9 so I am disappointed.
I know this isn't the first thread of this kind to be made but everything seems out of date, a month marks a lot of updates fixing old bugs and making new ones. Anyway, I'm looking for a custom ROM and possibly a separate kernel that is "stable" (as stable as a custom ROM could be) and battery friendly. I was going to do AOKP or paranoid android but I hear in later updates they got buggy from using newer radios and some people are getting the sleep of death. I'm also interested in the Siyah kernel for the lulzactiveq governor but I question its stability and compatibility with other ROMs. I'm a noob and this is going to be my first flashing of a ROM aside from the massively fail attempts on my old Droid Pro. I'm already rooted and unlocked and made a NANDroid with clockwork recovery but advice on flashing and software is cool. I hear with Odin the yellow triangle pops up when you download boot but with cwr it doesn't which is why I plan on using it. Also, exactly how does one clean flash? I know dirty is just clearing caches so which should I do?
Using the latest OTA with the G7 baseband, still ICS.
TL;DR Stable bettery-friendly ROM, advice on flashing, possibly a kernel for ROM for better battery life?
Thanks a lot, sorry again for making the millionth thread on this matter!
Big fan of CleanRom here. I've tried different JB-based roms but keep coming back. I'm on CR 2.5 now with the HD radio, but have been on 2.1 with CleanKernel previously, along with the stock and G7 radios.
A "clean" flash will have you wipe data/factory reset as well. You should do this when switching Rom bases. I dirty flashed from CR 2.1 up to 2.5 and haven't had issues though.
Edit: FWIW, I can routinely see over 24hrs on a charge under normal/low usage.
Edit 2: If you care about your apps' data, you might want to go ahead and run a backup with something like Titanium Backup before doing a clean flash.
I'm no expert but I will answer a few of your questions. I rooted a month ago and have flashed every rom I can find, every rom I used has its own quirks and nothing is absolutely perfect.
It wouldnt hurt to just flash a few roms and see what you like best. As long as you have your backup and you can boot into recovery I dont see how it could hurt right?
At this moment I am using LiquidSmooth-JellyBean v2.0 RC3. Its quick and really clean but I have to manually cycle WiFi to get it working after I leave a routers range (i'm sure theres a fix but I havent looked yet)
A Clean Flash- Wipe your dalvik cache from recovery>advanced and data wipe/factory reset . This is wiping all your phone settings/data. Backup before this point since theres no going back unless you have a backup.
A Dirty Flash- you are installing on top of an old ROM without clearing all of your cache- you can retain settings but will have a high possibility of problems.
GoodLuck!
Thanks, I'm looking at cleanROM now. Is it ICS or JB? Usually it's either mentioned or there's a [JB]/[Jelly Bean] thing in the title but it's got nothing.
Also, does anything not work like wifi-direct or NFC? I know sometimes it's a per-person thing and other times there's a bunch of stuff you have to do to get things working properly.
If it doesn't have wifi or NFC and is ICS based I may as well play with other ROMs then. I don't want my phone OOC for too long though b/c I'm looking for work and lack a house phone.
Touchwiz ICS is the most stable at this time! It does not matter if its Beans, Synergy, or Clean Rom...they all are based off of VRALG1 Touchwiz... anything different between those are just additional mods baked into a stock rom. AOSP still has RIL issues, meaning the data handoff between 4g/3g is bad. Alot of times when Im on the outskirts of a solid 4g area the device's data connection flakes out.
CleanRom is using VRALG7 base and that is ICS. From what I remember CleanRom was pretty stable.
Quick definition:
Anytime you do not format your system, your not doing a true clean install.
Factory reset/data, cache, dalvik is a considered a clean install only when running the same base version (4.0 or 4.1 for example).
When changing base versions you should be doing all that + formatting your system (cwm under mounts and storage) or your just flashing a jb rom on top of an ICS rom. Issues arise because of this. Most devs are calling for this too.

Synergy R73 seems to be the best so far. No reboots. Fast stable. Had Clean Rom Prior to it which was also great. Tried Jellywiz but kept having issues.
So only ICS roms are stable? I kinda want jelly though, which ROM seems the most stable? I hear older versions of AOKP and Paranoid work better then the newer ones. Siyah + AOKP might be neat, alternatively Euroskanks CM Kang project with the same Siyah kernel. I've read some great things about lulzpowerq which is why I want that kernel so much, probably with SIO or NOOP for i/o since I hear they're wonderful for battery life. The main battery problem is from using the HD radio though, right? So just flash to G1 and it should be good?

Most of the issues you hear about are caused by overclocking (anything above 1728 MHz is just for bragging rights or quadrant scores), underclocking (anything under 384 MHz is asking for trouble) undervolting (don't get ridiculous here ... your CPU needs power), using a task killer and/or applying unnecessary tweaks (e.g., V6 Supercharger ... totally unnecessary).

Did you see tiny blue text at the top left when it was rebooting?
yeah, a quick flash before it booted. is that it? and do I have to do the other backup thing with the program after it or should nvbackup do the trick?

Well according to that thread "You may see tiny blue text on the bootloader screen indicating that it is copying." So I would assume that's it.
To be honest, when researching this whole lost IMEI issue, I was so paranoid that I did EVERY type of backup that was discussed in these forums. I saved every backup file to my dropbox account, my phone, and my computer just in case. I'll admit, I'm a bit more care free when flashing now, but I have yet to experience a lost IMEI issue.
If you're paranoid like me then it never hurts to do the other backup methods.
