Help please, quickly - Captivate General

I have a short time before my dad goes back to florida, I gave him my old captivate that I haven't touched in a year that I setup for him on Straight talk. The fone is not rooted or hacked in anyway. Here's what I need to do before he leaves.
I need to root it for starters
I need to enable wifi hotspot for him
but heres the catch. I need it to stay on a somewhat stock ROM because that's what he's used to and he'll be 1900 miles away and I won't be able to help with his little issues of "how do I do this"
Please Help
This is all stuff I had done before I gave it to him and my brain is completely overloaded trying to read up on the captivate now.

Need more info from u.. What Stock is the phone runnin, etc.
I recommend Stock GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4. And u can use Odin to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A that has CWM Recovery that u can get Root through. Then just use Titanium Backup to remove or freeze all of the bloatware. Should be good after that.
Would have posted sooner but work is my day job...and xda i do for fun when able :thumbup:

Any thought of using a Team Alliance rom? They are all based off official Samsung firmware. Very stock look to them, but perform much better.

This is the ROM I installed before I gave it to him, I actually tried letting him use CM but that was a nogo

I haven't looked much into the captivate roms in close to a year. I have just a matter of a couple days to get this done. My dad is 78 years old and to a small extent technologically handicapped. He does well enough to browse the web, check emails and send texts, so if there was a bug or an issue (which most custom rom's carry) that popped up while he was away this winter I wouldn't be close to reflash or help him walk through it. I have been reading and I am going to try the first suggestion. Although wouldn't I just be able to remove all bloatware and the tethermanager.apk with root explorer. I need this to be as problem free for him as possible. I did have him install FoxFI to use which seems to be OK but I never trusted any of those type apps. I would much rather him use the native tethering (better encryption from what I see) Which he really only wants it to do emails and a few other miniscule task over the web.

Glad u still got some time to work with this for your dad.
And yep...Root Explorer will do the trick as well.

Ugh thank you was sweating bullets for a minute
Im guessing thats not the right way to remove ATT stock apps? lol I been browsing forums but can find nothing for HTC Inspire 4G
If your not to sure what you should or shouldn't delete, then the best thing for you would be to just flash a stock rooted rom. Like clearD, tcp, or dilligaf.
Titanium backup is the right way. Why don't you try twopumpchump optimized stock Rom in the development section. We're very helpful over there and will walk you through it. You can flash a ROM that already has the bloat removed.

I was attempting to remove the blockbuster app lol
Im kinda nervous to flash roms, I spent 3 hours last night reading/prepping myself for the root, was so nervous of a brick (btw new android user came from iphone) I have a buddy who had a nexus he bricked trying to flash the cryageon rom which is a well trusted rom. Just really scared >.>
Plus will flashing a rom remove contacts ect?
It's not as hard as you think. Take your time though. Best to do your research. Check out the Rom I suggested though and drop in if you have any questions.

As long as you have them saved on your sim no. Personal data yes. Apps not if you back them up. Make a nandroid back up before flashing. All you have to do is download the rom, place it on your sd card. Then boot into recovery install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, pick the rom select yes. You just flashed a rom.. As far as I know no one has completely bricked their inspire, even the people who have had corrupted boot loaders have been able to recover.

You will need clock work mod. Just open the app and select backup current rom. It will save everything as it is now so you can return to it later if you need to.

Honestly, I haven't had a chance to sit down at my desktop and try and mess around with it, college has taken up a lot of my time. I will say its a lot more complex then people think it is. It makes me really appreciate the people who bake roms and make themes.
I will probably sit down this weekend try tweeking a few things, and hopefully get it to work with out boot looping. Makes me wish some one lived around here that could teach me a few things I am a visual learner. I will get one working though .

[Q] Help with Gingerbread installation...

Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.
Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

Agreed, but in your earlier post, you gave some good links that show how to get started. If he reads the information in those threads, and tries out rooting stock Froyo, installing the modified recovery, and flashing some custom roms, that post shouldn't be too hard to follow.

That's legit Dman, it seems you learn a new trick on a daily basis; ports, roms and now kernels. I'm loving how the infuse development is still kickin!
So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!
Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.
You can find that here.: http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/

Rogers s2 LTE?

Sorry to bother anyone, hate asking questions cause I always get people making me feel stupid for asking.
Anyways, I am on rogers with a Samsung s2 lte. I some how made did a root and flash, I'm running space pirate.
Was just wondering if I can choose any rom for an s2 or does it have to be rogers s2?
Any help well be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I think u can choose any rom from this section( skyrocket) since they are exactly same phone. Also you can flash the T-Mobile version too by using conversion pack
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium
All the roms made for the skyrocket will work on the rogers one, but you should be flashing a rom built using the rogers rom. I've been using TPC V3 Rogers based and its been working quite well.
Tpc v3? I stumbled around and got space pirate on my rogers. It doesn't have the r at the end anymore, so far its been running fine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Blindeye, you should be able to flash any rom in the DEV section. Although I will just give you a heads up that there will from time to time be AT&T items loaded into your phone. So far Ive had a small handful of AT&T contact numbers added into my contacts. BUT so far I have only flashed a single rom that has faux kernel built into it.

Are all of you guys from Rogers?? I think it might be your network or phone because none of us att ppl have this issue. At least i never heard of it yet.
I'm actually getting replies, last time I just got guys giving me **** for posting.... ha.
Nice to see, and thanks
Am new to the flashing world, I've done it twice with cyanogenmod on captivate and space pirate on s2 rogers. Worked fine but still get nervous when doing it... ha.
Am now attempting a dell streak which has like a 20 different ways to get a custom, trying not to pull my hair out and going cross eyed from reading so much forums... ha.
Thanks for the responses, I wanna try another one, was thinking tpc or an ics one.
No problems yet on the space pirate. Just now my cell reads sghi727 instead of sghi727r, only thing I've noticed.

You can just try to flash all kind of roms from the development section. I am currently using ics rom but mixing different theme for myself. You can't really say which rom is better, it is all depend your taste.
I also have the dell streak 7 too. Actually it wasn't really that hard to flash rom. It is just a bit more work than samsung(you know...all samsung phones are like flashing machine XD)
Just a suggestion faux123 kernel runs best with really good battery life and it will go with any rom except cm7 or MIUI they have their own kernel and da_g has the kernel.

Why would you blame ROM Manager for your mistake?
A. Anytime you flash anything (even if its the correct ROM flashed the correct way (CWM)) you always assume responsibility yourself.
B. You flashed a T-mobile ROM on your AT&T Skyrocket. If done right, it usually works, but it still adds extra risk.
C. You said you were "just messing around". Anyone that doesn't want a bricked phone should take flashing or modifying anything serious...not just messing around.
D. Most of the ROMS you are supposed to flash on the SkyRocket give detailed directions in the OP. Any I have sen all say to use CWM and give great instructions.
I don't see how any of this is ROM Managers bad business? Hopefully this will be a good tale of precaution for others before they brick their phone not paying attention. Sorry to hear about your phone, but take the blame for yourself...not ROM manager.

Thanks. I'm not trying to give the guy a hard time. He just bricked (atleast soft-bricked) his phone so I'm sure he really is pissed. But blaming an app for it when it isn't the apps fault starts alot of confusion. If something really is wrong with an app, we all need to know about it so it can be tested / fixed/ avoided / reported / etc...If the fault is with the phone's owner than the phone's owner needs to take responsibility for the problem and stop blaming the creators of useful apps (and ROMS) for the problems.

It bricked because ROM manager doesn't recognize the recovery on the skyrocket. It's something in the first line of the app.
Although, I might agree with you and blame ROM manager also if it let you flash a ROM while it couldn't detect a recovery. That's just straight up ****ty oversight on the developer.

It operates almost identical to the skyrocket, will post later about battery, comparable to a stock Skyrocket i would imagine, but i cant wait to get my root on, sKyrocket is still my favorite.... most powerful phone out hands down! I am so pissed that it bricked that way what a bunch of crap....definetly best to stay away from clockwork rom manger download section...(KICKING MYSELF) oh...I know how to use thats not what happend..but it was a new rom i had not seen..cant even remember the name...thats what i get for not reading up on it more...So for all the noobies out there...
read...read...read..and then if u dont get it read it again!!...ahhh f_ck my life...lol..might fix it then donate

Try Samsung first. Tell them it just derped one day when you tried to turn it on. If they believe you, it might take a week or two but you'll get another phone. Samsung will just fix it and give it to the next person that has a warranty replacement as a "referbished" unit. They won't lose money and you will get a new phone. That is if they believe you.
still a 200 dollar deductible..i could probably smoose out of it...but i would actually like to fix it my self..just for the experience.....oh and the Rom was called Ziggy and Mobstergunz..(minimal triumph.v1.02..state away from that ****

Untouched UCLB3 Rooted

Ok I'm looking for somthing simple... And there are tons of UCLB3 leaked roms that have been modded and I just get so much lag on the lock screen - I have used the "Heimdall return to stock UCLB3" which does not have the lag. Tried another ROM via CWM that was "stock" with the daily driver kernel (lagged like hell). CWM to stock kernel with the ROM that was marked stock - still lagged.
I could not for the life of me get the Heimdall one click (above) to root with OneClick or the batch available. So I'm looking for somthing based off UCLB -leaked or the release with not much more then a root on it, And the correct Kernel whihc at this point I have no clue what it should be.
Currently I'm running:
FWV
2.3.6
BBV
I997UCLB3
Kernel
2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622
BN
GIBGERBREAD.UCLB3
I know this may seem easy, but to me this is getting fustrating. I have used so many roms... and the best one with the least lag was the return to stock - which I couldn't root (I have rooted many phones)
Any help would be great, or links/suggestions.
What ROMs did you try? Lag...wow...not on any the roms I've loaded....think your install has something to do with your lag....
Do you see the links in my signature if you're on your pc click those links....do some reading....
..I'm humble enough to say it could be my installs... but it's kinda hard to mess up a CWM flash - I'm clearing everything prior. The majority of the lag is on the unlock screen.
As for Roms.. Serendipity...Revolution... and a few others I'm not sure it it's a rom issue or a kernel issue.
I was just a little thrown off by the one click to factory (in your sig) gave me no lag, but I at least get lag on the unlock on all others.

Running your rom, Not too shabby - the animations are a little over the top... Do you have a suggestion for kernel?

The kernel its running is what I've found to run best with it. But you could try entropys kernel

Turn off animation will help...in the displays option...or put it for some amination

Somehow the ATT family mapper apk was left in. Must of slipped passed my eyes. And I took out the email app to make a bit more room. As a lot of people just use Gmail so I kept the Gmail apk.

No king or anything....just an average joe..
Well then..."Joe Know's -Links-"
The DEV Rom is working nice, like I before all I can see is the missed bloat and for some of us who may use our devices for work and need to seem semi professional by responding from the correct email, email.apk. Other than that a toggle for the odd-ball animations would be nice... it may grow on me, the jury is out right now.
I'll run this for a while and possible fash over a differnt kernel or two and see what I come up with.
Thank you both for your time.

I suspect that the lockscreen lag you're seeing is related to underclocking when the phone is locked... Potentially with one of the Infusion kernels.
Consider running Entropy's kernel.
Or the stock kernel... But that locks you out of stuff like CWM and Voodoo Sound / Lagfix.
Need to root the "official" Samsung UCLB3 leak or the official AT&T Gingerbread release for the Infuse 4g, and still want to do it yourself on your phone? See this how-to that I just worked up.:
