I know that this is not a developmental release or a custom built ROM but I thought the community might like to see this.....AT&T officially releases GB for our Captivates!

Unfortunately, the notice indicates it is KK4, but the source has also been posted at http://opensource.samsung.com. Let the fun begin....again.
disappointed about AT&T and SAMSUNG

The source has been out for a while now...I'm thinking a few weeks, at least.
Has anyone checked to see whether this KK4 is the same as what was leaked two months ago - there's always the possibility of slipstreamed changes without reversioning, especially since there are definite bugs that remain in the leaked version, e.g., the kernel crashes when too many apps are are installed to SD.
At a minimum, given that the linked instructions describe this as a full wipe, the ROM is packaged differently than the previous leaks.
LOL. couldn't have come at a better time! /sarcasm
Anyone got an alternate mirror in the event the Kies Mini upgrade fails for me, as it did previously when I tried to upgrade to Froyo? It would be a nice backup in the event I need to go back to stock (assuming, although I probably shouldn't, that in the two months since KK4 leaked, something had to get updated.
God do I miss bln.

Then is there anyone working on a custom kernel based on KK4? If it has been out for a few weeks, I would have expected a thread or 2 by now with BLN and voodoo sound. Developer interest seems to be waning for our cappy's.

I knew that that my post wasn't dev (as I stated in my own post) but I posted it there so the devs could see the "Official" release was out. That way they could use it as the source to their ROMs for KK4.

Just a warning This is all over, so I'm sure they all know about it. Hopefully it'll bring some stability to our Captivate ROMs (they won't have to be based on I9000 now, although I have no idea what else the I9000 functionality brings). I am not a developer, just an educated user.

This is the same Rom/Kernel developers have been working on for the last month, so yes there is a lot of custom kernel, but none with BLN or voodoo color due to lack of source for it.

Has anyone confirmed that this is in fact the same code that was leaked back in November? Just because it is named the same, it doesn't mean it will be exactly the same.

I have a hard time believing ATT would release such an unstable release. It just can't be the same KK4 leaked back in November. It is inconcievable.

I write this new thread because that`s important new
experiences i think!!!!!!!!
I found out that now you can choose Gingerbread or Froyo Kernel
on your CM9 (versions from 4.february 2012)
I´ve installed CM7 Kang RC1 3 feb.2012 , you can find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470721
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/index.php?id=jordan
And in second boot ICS CM9 Nightley 4.feb.2012 , it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353003
http://tanguy.forumdoandroid.com/
http://defy-cm.net/defy-cm9-nightly/
First i was on CM7(Froyo Kernel) -- Everything exept. the known issues was working....
Then i Flashed the CM9 kernel wich could be fount in the upper links
and Everythings......... works .......
For me thats new because of in my last experiences with those Roms ,
there were two Versions with different Kernel usage :
CM7/CM9 version for Defy with Froyo kernel
CM7 /CM9version for Defy/Defy+ with Gingerbread Kernel
And now one and the same CM7 can be used on both kernel
And the gingerbread telephone network bug in 2nd boot is fixed!!!!!!!!!!!
3d Gallery works in ICS!!!

@bone101 : Thanks! Exciting report!
Can you specify what hardware you have, Defy green/redlens, Defy+ ?
and also specify what SBF build you use as base before you flash ?
When you write "Froyo kernel" and "Ginger bread Kernel", do you mean: "CM7_Kernel-signed.zip" and "CM9_Kernel-signed.zip" (Fritolays http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20148046&postcount=1624 )
or do you refer to some other Kernel files ???
(I guess the 2 filenames below are the same as the ones fritolays re-packed. I'll update here when i get answer )
CM9-ICS-multiboot kernel_2.3.4.zip = the kernel from CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan.zip
CM7.1-11-kernel_2.2.2.zip = ?

Info about my DEFY PLUS
System Version: 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE
Model number: MB526
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.00
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3
[email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-74
I flashed CM9 over Feb 4 build, it bootloops.
ICS is working very good, but it has very little in common with CyanogenMod.
It is very AOSP-like now.
If you are okay with vanilla Android, then you can use ICS very soon (because camera will be working soon, I think).
If you are like me, and need the functions of CM that make CM so great, than ICS isn't usable at all (for now) for you.

Nope. Just not true. In CM7 everything works just fine AND the excellent configurability of a true Custom Rom is there. That is what I expect from CM.
The ICS Versions for the Defy are very good, but they lack those parts of CM that make it excellent. And that is not the Quarks' fault or Epsylon's fault, it just isn't finished yet.

My first intention to open this thread was that its possible to run the new CM7 and CM9
on Defy or Defy+ --- the same Rom for both
But now im think its not possible , because i´ve tried to install MS2Ginger 3.0NG-RC which work very well, but my CM7Fryo in 2nd boot dosent...
I will try my luck with CM9ICSFroyo in 2nd, maybe 2nd boot need CM9/ICS
CM9/ICS for Defy+ would work

For those of you that have flashed this, I'm a little intimidated by the fact that there is a boot.img in the zip. Will installing this overwrite the bootloader?
Just to let everyone know that most everything is now working, GPS, Home button, BT is fixed, several more APNs added, DATA works.
What is still broken is wifi and video. You can use apps that use their own decoding, but we will fix that after we have wifi fully working.
We are very close on wifi, rdavisct and I have eliminated 90% of the errors we were seeing in dmesg about wifi startup, but we still have 3 or 4 errors that we need to fix before it will work.

No, not yet. We will need to work on that, to make it work for 2nd system. Also it is ONLY flashable using the Atrix 2 Bootstrap utility, no bootmenu or safestrap, as it will not execute the updater script correctly, and somethings don't get installed correctly with bootmenu or safestrap.
Okay I don't want to be sarcastic, or funny, or an a** when I ask this - what benefits does a 4.1 system have with a 4.0 kernel other than ui features and animations?
I presume project butter isn't working?

I think it is. There was not a big change between ICS and JB kernel wise. Google Now should work perfectly too. Also. It's CM. So it's worth the trouble.

Here's the flash requirements ....
How to flash :
- Tested on ATT and Asia verison mb865
- U should flash this rom on an ICS rom(I mean, your kernel should be 3.X, and your stock rom should be ics)
- Install safetrap or bootstrap to flash this rom
- Boot menu manager is not supported ATM!!!!
- Wipe/Reboot & enjoy it
If I recollect Jim pulled the ICS leak. SVC7 requires ICS leak as does the CM10.
Searched and haven't found it. Is it hiding anywhere?

If you are not on at&t you will need to install the leak for your region.
And yes project butter is working just fine with CM10. Since we are on a 3.X kernel everything will work just fine.. the difference between ICS and JB will be small, JB will be more like when we went from 2.2 to 2.3... it changed names, but more like a medium upgrade... LOL

I'm using jb on my kindle fire with the 3.0.3 kernel and it smokes ics as far as usability goes.much smoother transitions, apps open faster etc. benchmarks aren't much different but i do find the user experience to be a major improvement. The fire has the same cpu/gpu as our a2 so I expect similar results.

I posted that because the op's information was about as pertinent as my previous post. Rule of thumb, if ya want help, no problem...but atleast give us some information to work with.
What ROM are you trying to boot on? Chances are there are some merges in the new Kernel that will make an older ROM not boot.
Example: I was on CM10 M1. Couldn't boot on any of Faux's new kernels or KT747. Old ROMS didn't have new merges necessary to boot with newer kernels that had them..
or something like that. Solution - update to a newer ROM.

No offence meant by this, but you should probably do what you should've done in the first place and look in the development section. If you don't see anything you like then you'll likely have to deodex the one you do want. Also, in the future if you have another question, post it in the q&a section where this kind of question belongs so that others that may have the same or similar question can find it easily. That will help reduce the amount of repeat threads.
One question for you, though. Out of all the awesome ROMs here, why in the world would you want that horrendous looking AT&T/MotoBlur ROM on your phone? Every time I have to flash back to stock, I can't seem to get rid of it fast enough. Hahaha!
