Rom with video out for Captivate?

Hey all... I'm going on vacation this weekend and wanted to bring my Captivate with me to use as a media player attached to my car's video system. I haven't used this phone for a few months now (upgraded to a new phone), so I'm wondering which of the newer Roms have the video out (or is it called TV out?) feature working? Would anyone recommend one over another? Phone features are unimportant, as the only thing I'll be using it for are video and maybe music. Rather than flashing a bunch of Roms, I thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone has used this feature lately and can confirm that it works on "Rom _____"
Thanks in advance!

For anyone keeping score at home - yes, Slim Rom does have TV out and it works!

Can you disable pen detection?

I just purchased the larger stylus holder that was intended for the 5.3 Note. I tried to use it, but it would not work without first removing the original stylus from the unit. I would like to use the new one and keep my original in the unit in case of emergency.
Anyone able to do this?

Go into settings and find the settings for the pen and uncheck the power saving setting for the pen.

OK, i tried to check that option, still the tab still detects when i remove the pen, is this option really working? I'm on build N8000XWALG7, is this a good build? How do i know which country firmware to upgrade? I am from philippines. My baseband is N8000XXLGA

I found it and it works. I can use my new sylus with the original still tucked inside. BTW... I really like the stylus holder with the 5.3 stylus much better than the origanal. Handwriting is much better. I am not getting all the extra squiggles on my letters.

I think it will always detect if the pen is removed or not irregardless of that option being checked or not. But by turning off the battery saving feature you are able to use another pen while the original 10.1 pen stays docked.

Hmmm wierd coz i tried using my other note's stylus and its not working, or do i have to buy another stylus? Both devices doesn't work when pen is dock

As soon as I went to settings and removed the check from battery saving, my second pen began to work while the original was in the dock. At least I think that as what I did to get it to work.

[Q] CM 10 stability

I'm thinking of purchasing this phone for my mom as a gift. How does this phone run with CyanogenMod 10? I understand the International galaxy s2 have some issues with hardware composer. I'm under the impression that this phone has a different processor. Can anybody shed some light on if there any quirks with cyanagenmod 10 and the phone?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I don't run CM10, so I can't answer your question. But I'll ask you another one:
Why do you want to install CM10 on this phone? If you're looking for speed and stability, you can just use the "factory leak" soon-to-be-official JellyBean.

I prefer AOSP, but I could look into that as well if it fits her usage scenario.

CM10 works fine. I've been using it as my daily driver for months now. The only real issue is the occasional random reboot. Doesn't happen too often though. Another one is tap to focus in the camera doesn't work. Other than that though, nothing else that I can think of that I encounter on a day to day basis. Everything else is smooth.

Non-Touch ROM

I was thinking about this idea of creating a full android ROM similar to clockworkmod recovery. This ROM would be very simple. Yet it will have all the basic needs of a phone, (calling, time, maybe texting w/ google voice) and so on... This ROM would be very useful for any people who broke their screen, and while their new screen or phone is being shipped they could easily use this to keep their phone functioning. Please spread this idea. I need developers to help me with this, as I have never really designed a fully functional ROM.

As difficult as it would be to navigate, this is a great idea for people with broken screens. I wounder if developers see it as too much trouble though.

Multi Rom Boot S III

Is there any way to run multiple roms on the Galaxy S3?
Say I want to boot and pick from PARANOIDANDROID Hyperdrive RLS14 Liquid smooth or any other one. Maybe run some off the ext SD would be nice as well. Can you do this? I search and couldn't find it, if there is a post can someone let me know. Not even sure if this is possible.. lol But would be sweet..
Thanks very much..

I would say yes, theoretically, since there seems to be enough space on the system partition for 2-3 roms. And this has been done for awhile on the iPhone (dual booting Android/iOS) but I'm no developer, so I don't know for sure

I'm hoping so. We were able to with the DROID X but who knows. It'd be pretty cool

I haven't seen an option for dual boot or triple boot. I had that ability on my nook color and always liked it.

But I don't think you can run them off of the Ext SD Card, since it's data steam is slower in the way it's mounted

They have this for the droid 3 I came from, its called safe strap and it was pretty cool for trying out new roms and not worrying about bricking but it was for bypassing locked bootloader though. You can find out about it in the d3 forum but it would be nice to have something like that since we have so many ROMs to choose from.

Used to have this on my dinc2. App was called boot manager. Doesn't work with the s3 though....

Count me in as well for this feature

Pretty sure the people who made the app stopped updating it, it was called boot manager.
I used it on my dx, bought the paid version and gave up. It wasn't really made for a locked up phone, you had to be running a cm based rom to dual boot, it was more hassle that it was worth.
Just make backups.
