[VIDEO] Samsung Captivate Weekly ROM Review

All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to my JIG and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.

good idea, thanks for the video

Awesome review!
Quadrant it fixed now
All 720p decode/encode was busted

DG! Question and feel free to say no by all means but maybe I can get your attention with out a PM or post in your ROM thread which I'm sure is hard to ever see for you.
I am adding a download page on my website and wondered if I could also host your ROM's there? I wanted to host lots of things from ROMs, to useful CWM packages to open source apks and others. I completely understand if you do not want me to do that and I wanted to ask before doing so. PM me if you see this...I've pm'd you on the subject once but doubt you saw it as I'm sure your box is through the roof on PM's.

Heh, ya, it gets maxed out every week or so...
That's fine tho.

I have been looking to flash my phone with a ROM but I can never decide which one to go with so at least now I can get some insight into what some of these do and how fast they are.
I will be looking forward to seeing these every week.

Thanks for taking the time and doing the great side by side comparisons. I look forward to checking out your weekly videos!

Nice review. Is the sound quality issue you mention the result of the Captivate having unique hardware in the form of the "Audience" voice-processing chip that the I9000 does not? It's a shame that one would have to give up support of this circuitry for the sake of running a custom ROM.
I remember reading about this a while back but thought it had been sorted out/fixed.

Good review. Liked the comparison.

There are some interesting comments on your perception video about lack of support for the audience processing chip

Yes I agree. I'm not sure if that's the correct reason as the speaker phone function works flawlessly but it's interesting to say the least.

subscribed to your channel. awesome idea

Love the videos, keep it up!

Phoenix Rising 3.0 Rom Review added. See it under rom reviews! Or here! http://youtu.be/so7OUPykv0U

This community has just received a +1 by having you around.
Nice work with the vids and pretty informative for people looking to get details and previews before flashing. I'm just going to go around thanking your posts.
Hopefully people can recognize the amount of time that you're putting into this stuff and be thankful that you have a Captivate in your hand.

Lovin the videos and website. Thank you for the time you are putting into this I think you have something great going here. If you & DG ever decide to get different phones or leave the Galaxy S community I will defiantly follow.

Great videos, but noob question.
How are the roms that different from each other?
Most of them seem to be running similar kernels and you can still flash whichever ones you want for lagfix or OC/UV.
Do they mostly differ in terms of appearance/default apps? How about speed/performance?

You messed up the video!

I'm not sure there are a lot of expectations here to be let down. We know that in most cases you probably wouldn't be able to offer us beta, or even alpha firmware and software to develop with or on. RC firmware and software would be just as much out of the question so we're down to what is already out, or something that is leaked by people friendly to the development communities that take the chance of getting in to a lot of trouble. So I don't really know what you have to offer yet. I am curious to find out, though.

Dear john, you have sparked a lot of interest, we are drooling at the mouth do you have any gingerbread for us, or dare I speak of honeycomb? ;-)

"IF" this where to happen it would be a good thing for both samsung and xda for the simple fact that it would help us make better mods for the samsung community and would allow samsung to release things that are more open to modding and customizations that all of us around here love and enjoy making (or in my case learning to make)...hope all goes well with this.

I am a dubious person and do not have expectations as I am still uncertain as to your intentions and more importantly you identity.
But if all is as you say I would take back to the powers that be, many are obviously unhappy with having to run outdated software in the form of the OS on what was at the time of purchase cutting edge hardware.
Give us a option. Give us a way to open the phone up and flash a AOSP option. A more Nexus-ish approach would be fantastic.
The Mainstream will have what they require in a stock configuration and we the ones that know what the potential of the device is can help you in pushing it to its limits.

Well I'm trying to get my post count up so I can comment in development. Anywho kudos to samsung.

Thanks again John, I'm excited and look forward to hearing your announcement!

Honeycomb is made for tablets so I don't think that really helps us. And I highly doubt Samsung is going to release Gingerbread directly to XDA if at all.

maybe samsung will use us for testing and maybe some tweaking...that would give us a chance to develop on it before its officially released and we would just plain out have it early, cause if you give the devs here like 2 weeks with just about anything it will be fully modded and running to its full potential!!!
props to xda devs!!!

Hopefully their next approach works out better, they should have known better than to open a topic up to the entire forum
They should probably have moderator's from each device take questions from their users, then they could collaborate and get only the good questions answered. (and you wouldn't have to deal with trolls/flames/etc.)

I suppose the question *since we can't ask specifics* is....
What can you do to help us and or what tools can you provide to the DEVs to help us get every bit of Awesome out of the device that we can.
Put the ball in your court.

Glad THIS thread is still open...
(Does SamsungJohn know how forums work?!?)
ANYhoo... I'm a give 'em enough rope to hang themselves kinda guy and I've actually been recommending the Mesmerize & Fascinate to friends that need new phones based solely on the great XDA community and what they can get those phones to do using only a bread tie, three pennies, and a jar of Cheez Wiz. Kudos to the devs once again!
I had no delusions that Samsung was a great manufacturer... my TV and DVD/home theater unit have had their share of problems... and I was also aware of the OS update delays in other product lines before I got my phone so that wasn't a big surprise either. BUT, I got in on the free phone thing through USCC and (if I EVER get my $80 rebate) I'll still consider being a Mesmerize owner/user a WIN.
What I see here is a classic example of a company that has the OBVIOUS solution within their grasp and they are actively choosing to find an alternative to it that will provide them SHORT TERM monetary gains. They have set themselves up for failure and they have only themselves to blame. Here's a vocabulary lesson for SamsungJohn et al... crowdsourcing

Guys if you haven't read through it, that topic was closed by a moderator because it was an experiment that failed miserably. (because the general XDA population isn't very good at reading and following instruction, and it turned into a huge flamefest.)
John has been confirmed by several sources to be who he says he is (at least works for samsung) and is here working with the XDA administration to (in an organized way) swap feedback with the developing community (on all samsung products).
On a side note Supercurio has been in correspondence with Korean Samsung and has been also pushing for this very thing to happen, but from what I've read i'ts pure coincidence that John arrived when he did.
Anyway, sounds to me like we need to be patient as information IS coming as soon as they figure out the best way to go about this whole thing. This is how I've taken things from what I've read today, don't quote me....

In all fairness Crowdsourceing is what the whole AOSP is about. Android was and is developed to be Open Source. So if a company is reaching out to the community it can't be all bad.
I just think that for the most part a lot of us here are end users.
While I am sure that others like me want to, and strive to learn more, we simply will not be on a par with the current crop of DEVs as they progress as well.
I think the idea of a couple DEVs from each of the respective forums of the variations of the SGS platforms being in contact is a smart idea.
Dcows, Phidelt, and of course JT and many of the OPs in the Samsung Fascinate IRC channel would be obvious choices.
In fact a meeting of the minds in a channel of choice with only participants having voice would be nice as well.
I do understand and hope that SamsungJohn does know as well that most here are simply end users and just wanna know when we will get xxx or yyy ..
I will now go back to my corner get my Java Text out and see if I can learn, learn, learn....

If samsung really wants to get in good with the developement community, they would be wise to make it entirely official, and go to engadget or someone with a press release. If you want to gain our trust, give everyone the AOSP build.
Do I want sammy to be community-minded? Absolutely.
Am I going to trust one guy who says he works for our manufacturer? Well, let's get to the root of that. Do I trust the company who created out hardware? Not at all.

Yeah I frequent the irc with those guys and we're always willing to help people... I think a lot of people come to forums just to get help and information rather than to develop and theme and stuff like we do. It would probably be more beneficial for Samsungjohn to maybe set up a date on the irc and say like "I will be on from x time to y time" and then people can get on and ask questions and talk about things, and more of the power users who use the irc regularly will get a chance to maybe learn some stuff or help out Samsung.
It would also make it much easier to control, if things get out of hand then the OPs can simply kick or ban the culprits.

Petition to former SGS4G developers to return to the forum

As you all know, nearly two weeks ago the long awaited source code for the Android Gingerbread software was released. This had been a joyous occasion for many of us who had been patiently awaiting its release in hopes that it would lead to working versions of Cyanogenmod and MIUI on our phones, as well as several kernel modifications that were not previously possible. The first few hours of speculation turned into days, which turned into weeks, with the promises of development yet to be fulfilled. As it turns out the fears of some of you had come true, that the few developers that were left lost interest in the Galaxy S 4G for other projects.
While people like Raver have actively stuck with us, there has been a dead silence by those who were previously the most visible on this forum. Whitehawkx who has left us for the Galaxy S2, Dsexton who had left for lack of a separate computer,and Dr Honk who God knows where he is. Krylon ive seen mention working on a kernel once but with little detail. These were some of the best we had and we need to make it overwhelmingly obvious to them that they are wanted and needed here. So I propose that we take the time to let them know that the source code they've wanted and needed is now available and ready to be worked. Youre welcome to write up your own words for a message, though heres something I threw together along with the public contact info for the devs.
Feel free to reach out to any other devs who have not been listed here or from other forums.
Update: Dev's emails were removed by site mods. If you would like to email the people below, you can readily find their email in their user profiles and in their Donate To Me links.

“Hello (dev screen name),
This is (your screen name) from the Galaxy S 4G forums on XDA. If you haven’t heard, the source code for Gingerbread we have been eagerly awaiting was finally released a few weeks ago for our phones. With the source finally released, the limitations our devs had faced before in developing for the SGS4G are now gone, and the path is clear for development of CM7 and MIUI for our phones. I have noticed you have not been around the SGS4G forums recently, but I along with all the other forum members have been hopefully awaiting your return to developing for our phones with the expertise you have shown in all of your many other projects for the SGS4G. As well, the lack of devs on the forum have left many of the still poplar ROM’s unmaintained and not updated to the latest official release. Please come back to developing for the SGS4G for all of us who have spent hours testing and using your ROM’s and show us what your talents can turn these phones into.
Thank you”

I think this is good intended but i fear it wont change anything.
Dont forget soma and airfluip who has been developing for our phones recently.
Krylin said in twitter that he will begin working in a ROM based on GB for our phones. Although he said he will start it today if he doesnt its still good news. I know he can make kernels and roms. Also raver is working. Dsexton said he will get a computer soon and that he needed break. White.... I dont know he droppwd when ki3 leaked. But oh well, lets enjoy or wait.

I've been lurking these forums since this phone came out, with the occasional post here and there.
I have seen people waiting months just for root.
I remember kb5 enhanced was our only ROM for times without end, just to have that developer throw a fit at Mr.Clown for mistakingly closing his thread and leave us hanging.
I remember following Krylon on twitter for what seemed like an eternity, until we finally had cwm on our phones.
Then came the good times.
New roms coming out just about every week, themes, mods, and all the goodies we see on our forums today.
New developers popping up, the formation of teams like aerodonk and acid.
Now we are back in one of these silent periods.
It seems like all development stopped.
But one thing I've learned from these forums is that patience is a virtue.
We go from bad times to good times, to bad again, and so on.
I'm sure there is progress being done right now.
No matter how little, our how long it's taking, it will come.
And a new life cycle will start for our phones.
We just gotta hang tight, get through this metamorphose, and then our phone will come out, greater then before!

Saw on krylons twitter something about doing another rom based off of the gb update so that looks promising.

Also its not just the sgs4g. I own a sensation as well and things have really slowed there too.

I understand everybodys frustration with the length of time that it is taking for us to get new roms. But you have to understand these guys do this in their spare time. And yes, it is true that because of Samsung and t mobile taking forever to release a GB for us made some of the devs loose interest and move to other devices; however, we still have Raver and Krylon on or side, Dsexton will be coming back soon, and hopefully we can get Drhonk and Whitehawx back if not for developing but for at least guidance, tips, and support. I for one have started trying to learn how to do some of this but without a Linux machine it is a bit difficult. But there is no reason some of you can't chip in and try to learn this stuff too. Not to override the few true devs we have, but to assist them.

Hi Thomas
Please share your knowledge source. I am willing to learn as well, though to tell you the truth, moding and theming couldn't care me less, I'm always into performance and reliability, as well as good RTL and foreign language support (like in CM and MIUI).
Other than that, I'm always on stock theme.
I'm no dev, but I'm considering to become one in the future.

My biggest resources are picking the brain of RaverX3X and google. You can do most everything on a windows machine except mod kernels and make an Odin .tar (for those you need Linux or the ability to run Linux in a vm environment). There are quite a few tutorials out there. You just have to download the right tools to do it, have lots of spare time to devote to it and the gonads to test it.lol... Pm me later with specific questions and I can give you direct links to tutorials that might help you as well.

I remember when i had the galaxy vibrant early this year i was so into the device cause they were a lots of roms here to choose from and thats one of my concerns now for this device now. If you go to the vibrant section there are a lots of 2.2 biulds 2.2.1, 2.3 ,2.3.3 etc etc etc. And they are all different. Including from stock to MIUI and htc Sence. As well as gingerbread and honeycomb. So my question is why the devs didnt work on some builds like those for this device. From my end i really dont care about what number of the OS is as long the build is stable, fast, bloatware free, custom ringtones, wallpapers, and other great thing that i did manage to see on my old vibrant that i no longer own :/
Yesterday my older sister got the galaxy s 2 for tmobile and its so awsome. I have envy in me now jajajajaja xD

This is true. Which is what I am learning to use now, but I forgot to add that part... Thanks for catching my error. From my understanding, you can use it to modify a kernel as well, but i'm not having very good luck with it yet.

This is mere conjecture on my part, but I would assume that you can modify the kernel in Windows as long as your text editor supports Unix-type line endings (Notepad++ works nicely), and then compile it using presumably gcc in Cygwin. Again, this is merely speculation on my part, having only built a Linux kernel on Linux, for my desktop.

Individual licenses of reused components inside continue to apply. You can also have multiple Aware licenses if you want to include mine with yours.
This is intended to help users gain the maximum out of their old devices and reduce consumption in the form of having to buy new devices all the time.

Have you considered making this completely open source? I fear that cause you are still updating the OP that you're still going to be open to attack. However if you open source your project you are in effect protected by it's licensing etc.
Then to whom ever pushes the most contributions back to to your repository then you could consider handing it overt to them? If they are a member here then I am sure with the go ahead from XDA admin the thread can be handed over to that member or possible creation of a group or sub group in the forums that could be dedicated to the future developments of crossbreeder? This would ensure no one person owns it. All people own it and it's future can be safe. This would mean that what ever powers that be cannot target you as a developer... they would then have a job on their hands attempting to target many. You bring then a state of anarchy to digital mobile world.
What ever you end up doing with the project, i wish you all the best and remember above all stay safe (stick closely to your family and friends first and foremost)

Hi,
It's open source. The development thread contains the entire source.
The hope is that the Aware license will help. If you can pass this to your friends that the developer of this thread has publicly stated his name in the Aware license so the mere fact that you and your friends are aware of him in large numbers will bring attention to him.
That is the hopeful intent of the Aware license.
@xda admins, if you could hand over the keys to @fivefour with a request to keep my appeals intact in the developer thread OP ( maybe collapse it inside a 'Show content') and change everything else there as he pleases and leave this general thread OP as is ( with any of his additions below ) that would be great.
Cheers and goodbye once again.
To the good, stay good.

After I get my new laptop I'd like to take a gander at the source and see what I can do to pitch in I personally love this mod and refuse to let it die someone wants to make threats I say come say them to the barrel of my Taurus Judge.
With that said I should have a new laptop and phone to play on around Dec 10-15ish...take care @idcrisis I am sending you one last pm in a sec you should look at

I'm so sorry you had to go through that nightmare. I really am. I wonder what kind of people go so low to threat people like that.
Also, my condolences for your friend. You have written a great mod, your legacy cannot be touched. Thank you so much, once again.
About your decision, it starts with you're free to do whatever you want without being judged. With that said, life is priceless.
The best of luck for you my friend.

It will be a while before I'm fully up on his scripts but priority one is the much needed Android app to ensure CrossBreeder is more accessible and user friendly. The sources to the app and any changes I make will end up on Github for all to participate.
I recently moved and my PC is currently in storage, it will be a few days before I'm able to begin work on the app.

round 2 of N beta testing

I emailed the N beta team to see if I could participate and this is the response I got.
"Dear Customer
Thank you for your interest in Galaxy Beta Program.
Due to great responase, currently the registration for this program has reached limit.
However we are currently discussing expanding the S7 Beta Program with carriers.
Best regards,
Galaxy Beta Program Team"

Yea i thnk so they are trying to expand....
I didnot register first time
And for past couple days i was getting server error.
Now it shows i can register but at the end it says maximum reached but maybe i thnk they will expand.....hope so i want the nougat badly

Same here with the registration

If they find a way to kick all of the Verizon beta users who are using the beta update against Samsung's will then maybe they will expand it for legitimate users.

I miss the good ol' days when the Odin files for future updates were leaked regularly. But that was like 5 Galaxies ago.

In case something goes massively wrong they don't have to replace thousands of phones instead of hundreds. They did just have to do something like that.

The smaller the group the easier it is for them to fix the reported bugs. Why would they want 100,000 betas instead of 10,000 it is easier for them to not have as many suggestions and bug reports.

I am just curious but why is everyone running to Nougat? It is my understand that there isn't any root yet out for it. Unless I haven't read enough.

I tried the exact same thing and got the exact same response - lol
Note the email header - Korean script - which means this is being run directly from there and they could care less about how anyone over here feels about the program.

Is English no longer being taught in schools?
Anyway, they limit the numbers of beta testers likely because they don't have server capacity to handle everyone who wants it, for bug reports and other metrics. And they probably only require a certain sample size and don't want more people than they need. They are doing the beta for them, not for you to have early access to 7.0.

After the Note 7 they're gonna want all the bug reports they can get.. They need to have 0 issues with this update when it goes live... Any small issue will be exaggerated greatly due to the note 7. They're projected to lose over 5 Billion dollars. That's a lot of spare change right there! Since the s7 edge is what they're replacing notes with, as well as pushing it like crazy now with a new round of advertising, they need it to be perfect.

English isn't my first language either, fyi. It's one thing to make syntax and grammatical errors, and it's easy to tell when someone makes mistakes typical to non-native speakers. Nobody would ever fault you for that. But typing like you're a 12 year old girl (see urself, gr8, evry1, etc) has nothing to do with being a non-native English speaker. If you are indeed a 12 year old girl, please accept my apologies. But if you are an adult, cut out the ridiculous shorthand and communicate like an adult.
As to your second point, nobody told you that you could not express your opinion. In fact, I'm pretty sure I answered your question. Also, they could very well increase the limit for the beta in the future.

Bro thats how everyone talks nowadays while chatting... i know how to spell all the words....
It wasn't typing mistake by me.. this is syntax used in messaging...no one types whole word..so just drop this issue right here...no need to start fights....
........

Believe me, I know very well that it wasn't a typing mistake by you. That's what makes it annoying. But I guess if you want to come off as a preteen girl, that's you call. Just understand that this is what you sound like.
