Questions about ROMS on Rogers Captivate

I just bought my first Android phone, the Samsung Captivate on the Rogers (Canada) network.
I immediately updated the firmware via kies to 2.2.
Now I'm looking into custom ROMS because the lag is still and issue with 2.2 it seems.
Can I install ROMS like cognition on the Rogers Captivate even though it was an AT&T ROM?
If not, what are the best rogers custom ROMS?
Another thing, do I need to do the GPS fix with 2.2?

If you're mostly happy with the stock 2.2 you can easily get a lagfix through flashing a kernel..
As for custom roms, any of them should work on rogers as well as AT&T. There's guides on xda for how to flash back to stock using odin and then getting a custom rom. I haven't needed the GPS fix...running Serendipity 5.12.

I'm running Paragon 6 using the Rogers Captivate and I couldn't be happier. I have tried many roms and paragon was the one that I stuck with, if you flash some roms give paragon a try. The only problem with flashing custom roms is most likely you will lose your i896 boot screen and will get the at&t one. But there are ways to get your i896 boot screen back if you need to take your phone in for warrenty work. Happy flashing.

Thanks both of you.
One quick question.
I was reading one post about a guy flashing a ROM on his phone and could no longer use his Rogers SIM card because the rom was based off AT&T?
Did he do something wrong, should I not have to worry about this?

Err, after Googling around, I've read that after you update to the Froyo firmware via kies, it deletes your unlock code, am I going to run into problems here?

I have never had that problem, but I can't say for sure. There is a galaxy unlock program available for free in the market that can unlock your Rogers Captivate. Its called "Galaxy S Unlock." So if you do lose your unlock just re-unlock it using the above app.

Thanks a lot, that worked, I'm unlocked.
I also was successful at installing Paragon 6.0
So glad I didn't get the iPhone 4 now

Changing modems on stock rooted 2.2

Hello, I am running the stock AT&T Froyo 2.2 and wanted to know if I can try an older modem I896UXJL1. If I can what do I need to do and where can I get the modem. It was in cog 3.4 and worked great for me and now the 2.2 uses KB1 which isnt working as good.
Thanks!

Modems
Modems are all posted in the first sticky of the Captivate Android Development sub-forum. I am on 2.2 stock ROM with speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz-CWM kernel and using cwm2_ugjl2 modem which works brilliantly in central Florida. 12 and a half hours on and 69% of battery still left (with Juicedefender).
Edit: oops just noticed JL1 isn't posted there (which you probably already knew). I still recommend JL2.

JL1
Found JL1 on Perka's file stash (perka.zapto.org)

Thanks guys for the help...... I too have awesome battery life on the stock AT&T Froyo and I get better reception being on the 1897UCKB1 running 3G.
I have another question. I have been trying to get a newer version of camera.apk to work on a stock Froyo and everyone I have tried force closes. Also, I wanted to know if there was a version of extended power menu out there as well. Thanks Again!

[Q] need a rogers nexus s setup help

Hi all,
I got a Nexus S a few days ago. It was an original rogers phone that was working on ATT in the US for the last month.
The phone is rooted. But it is not working properly on Rogers (Apparently it worked fine on ATT).
Does anyone have a rooted rogers Nexus S that is working properly on 3G?
If so, what are you running for ROM, Radio, CWM, etc?
Thanks in advance,
I have been pulling my hair trying to get this fixed.

Rogers Wireless Nexus S
Rom: SuperAOSP 8.0 Android 2.3.4
Build #: GRJ22
Baseband: NO DGSXXKD1
Kernel: Netarchy Nexus S 1.3.0.12 CFS 2.3.4
Recovery: Clockwork Mod v 3.0.2.4
Runs perfect on Rogers here in Vancouver. Check your other thread to see if the radio i posted fixes your 3G problem. It happened to me too when i originally flashed SuperAOSP, but finding the right radio will definitely fix it.

I have an I9020a running on Rogers. I've run stock, cyanogenmod, and a couple other custom ROMs without any loss of 3G. I am currently using CM Nightly 84.
I've also experimented with the various NS radios available and haven't experienced any loss of 3G connectivity. I am currently using the 2.3.4 radio.
Have you checked your APN settings to make sure that you have the Roger's access points inputted?

Thanks for your responses, Guys.

[Q] Suggestion on upgrading ROM from Froyo

Hello,
I would like to run a custom ROM for my Rogers Froyo 2.2 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate.
I have already rooted, printed Rogers APN settings and backed up using TitaniumBackup, but want to know the best way to update to Mosaic V.
Perhaps there are other Rogers users(I'm in Toronto area) that prefer other ROM's...I would love to hear your suggestions.
I'm mainly looking for reliable GPS, faster response and stable.
I appreciate any help.
thanks!
Martin

well I'm not sure what differences there are between rogers and att captivate, but once I rooted and backed up I just rebooted into CWM and install whichever rom I downloaded to my phone. I'm using CM7, the RC that just came out.

[Q] fido network issues (2.3.6)

I've been having network issues for the past 4 days (ever since I updated to 2.3.6) and have been scouring XDA and the internet trying to fix it...
Tried flashing stock roms, cyanogen roms, backtracking to 2.3.3, updating roms, flashing different radios, stock radios, nothings working.
I'm on the FIDO network with an unlocked nexus s
I even bought a new sim card today to see if it could fix it, and it was only "fixed" for a bit, because the reception was **** (0-1 bars) and i was on EDGE all the time.
I reflashed some radios and now I don't get network at all.
If anyone has any idea of how I could fix this, it'd be nice. As of right now I still can't seem to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1056062 so I assume something about my phone still isn't stock...
2.3.6 is ruining my life. =[

There is advice on restoring your data connection in the radio thread in the dev section.
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.

I was assuming you meant this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I had already been on there and I've tried all the radios on the first few pages multiple times and none of them were working for me.
But since you posted your reply, I decided to try scouring the entire thread and I happened on a few random radios that other users posted.
I found one that actually worked!! and I got my signal back. THANKS.
Here is the one I used if anyone else is having the same problem as me.
