dude, youre takin this a little too seriously, im just lookin for a good suggestion to start with, and i know every phone is different, thats why i put what phone i have. thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
LMAO........

The suggestions are to try them out yourself........

They are all better than stock........

You have to figure it out for yourself..........

And he meant that every Captivate is different.......If you did some more reading...you would know what he meant........

The "all in one place" is the first 3 pages of the dev section........http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706 any thread that starts with [ROM] is what your looking at
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
if you want a fast rom i would recommend the cyanogen mod 7.

people talk about how its unstable and has bad battery life

but its all wrong,,,

from my experience cm7 has been a stable like all the other roms but just faster..

It's the fastest you'll ever get right now and it has all different customization you can do.

so try it out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Might want to try cm6 its outdated but fast and more reliable
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regan0314:
ok soooo this is super annoying now...

:confused::confused:I have tried every tutorial I can find for flashing roms to my captivate, every one still gives me the write error after reinstall packages. I have tried changing every setting i can think of.... someone please help!! very frustrated at this point:mad::mad:

heres all my phone info:

att captivate sgh-I897

android 2.2

kernal: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #1

build: froyo.UCJI6

as of right now i have it rooted via newest version of superoneclick.

Are you trying to get CWM on the phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regan0314:
ya, any file i put on the root of the phone gives me the same answer, whether its cwm or update.zip
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
You have 3E recovery.

The easiest way to get around it is to Flash the .tar version of speedmod with the full version of odin.

This only works on 2.2 If you need any more help. I will be around for a bit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
good answer! but if you are on 2.1 you can put the new rom on the sd card first and then flash speedmod. it wont boot into the rom but will give you recovery to flash the new rom.

yes, no need to root just odin flash speedmod then flash a rom.

if you want complete and reliable and well polished then flash andromeda, it's a bit older version of 2.2 but the work was great.

if you want super fast flash something that says js8, i hear the paragon rom has a great kernel. id say cm7 but maybe you should work up to that, it isn't hard but you need odin to flash back if you have problems, there aren't any 2.2 kernels or roms with the proper update script and binary to be flashed from the recovery that cm7 uses.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
Nice. That makes sense that it will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjgspr95:
OCLF (one click lagfix) use ext2. Titanium or some system app remover app to get rid of bloat and you should be good to go. At the end of the day different ROMs and such are for asthetics... no one has over 340 mg of Ram available so performance not much different from one to the next once lagfix installed. Until you OC/UV and that is tuff to maintain stability with.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Now we all know that there are no "Best Rom" threads but sense this one has changed course ill leave it open.

Each rom runs differently for each person. This is due to the many different ways we each use our phones. Once you get the hang of it, try out a few and find your favorite. Good luck on your quest.

Ok so i finally got it to work, i used this application for my pc and it did the trick... it was called something like AIC tools?? Forget the name exactly, T work so cant see it right now. But it was awesome, if anyone needs to know what its called lemme know and ill post it when i get home. Im trying cognition 4.3 right now.

Have a small problem tho if anyone can help that be great,

Basically, my home button goes nuts every once in a while and acts as if its bein pressed a bunch of times when my fingers are nowhere near it.... weird... does a ghost come with cognition?? Lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis01:
Questions pertaining to specific roms should be asked in their thread. Most times you're not the only one that's had that problem and it's already been addressed. That translates into search and read. :D

It was the AIO Captivate Toolbox. No need to post it cause there's already a dedicated thread for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
My lost.dir folder is empty.

I didn't use a lagfix for quite some time though.

I only recently used and ext4 lagfix which has been enabled for about a month or so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
Then your ext4 file system is good to go :) I'm using ext2 and my lost.dir fodler is empty too :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
Wrong section and useless post (as it was in speedmode section) as its too panicky and unnecessary (it is perfectly safe to have these files, and even if we have we don't need to remove lagfix, just switch on the brain).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
Oh .... I'm sorry. If a moderator sees this post as useless then please feel free to delete it. Was just trying to help :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tiziog:
my lost.dir is empty, and i haven't use lagfix
[Galaxy S I9000 General] x86-Dark:
I have 1022 files in my LOST.DIR in the Micro SD :/...and only 2 in the sdcard.

I think i have some corruption issues...

/sarcastic mode on

I never wanted find out this thread :D

/sarcastic mode off
[Galaxy S I9000 General] x86-Dark:
Why? I found it so usefull...Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
Having lots of files in your LOST.DIR does not necessarily mean that you have any data corruption.

----

Delete the files, reboot, and navigate back into LOST.DIR folder and if files are recreated then you possibly have data corruption, if LOST.DIR folder remains empty then you do not have to worry about data corruption
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markbusa:
^^

This..perfectly safe.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] x86-Dark:
Deleted everything and rebooted...no file has reappeared :D fheeew!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
That's good to hear :) I hope my post is clear enough .... Again, having lots of files in LOST.DIR does not necessarily mean that your internal/external SD card is damaged, it just means that there has been some form of data corruption and by deleting and reboot, you can confirm that your SD is not damage but instead there has been some data that was corrupted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarkSGS:
I think those files can also be the result of disconnecting your phone when mounted as mass storage device to your pc (without first properly unmounting it)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
Oh yea! I forgot about that too, thank you for your contribution - will add to O.P.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] auralzx:
can someone verify this, please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
If LOST.DIR folder remains empty after reboot/rescan then your SD card/DATA is safe

Having files in the LOST.DIR folder does not mean that your SD card is damaged/data corruption - but if they reappear after reboot/rescan then there's a possibility of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TerraBuzz:
Hmm...

I have some files in LOST.DIR folder, some in my internal and many in my external. I have deleted those files in both SD then reboot. My external SD's LOST.DIR remain empty after reboot, but in my internal SD there are 2 files reappear.

I am using ext 4 + ext 2 loops...

Thank you very much for sharing this, I will try to figure it out... :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] #1RAGE:
I get 2-3 files in LOST.dir on my internal SD. I have only tried this twice so far. I'm using EXT4. So what now?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
No lagfix Eclair lost Dir has a few files in it .

Moved on lagfixed rooted customised etc etc .Six months a few files in Lost Dir .

Yesterday got about a dozen files in the directory . Why well simple all Titanium backup files and i had a problem with a restore on that app .

Conclusion and from OP post any file that gets damaged is moved to this folder .

A folder to keep an eye on just in case as a warning of possible corruption or bigger problems .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
Remove your loops then check LOST.DIR again. (and/or refer to the Locating damaged files section)

Again, if files do not reappear right after reboot/rescan, then you do not have to worry.

Exactly :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Well you spam this information in many treads now. To bad you don't take time to understand it.

Also if I read your first posts you first say its bad then you say it don't means anything

The thing is that's this is normal with files on these folder.

I agree that you should look into them.

If the folder keep fill up then you do have a problem. But it can be anything. Don't blame some file system for it. It can happen to all.

Also if you do get corruption you will notice that on a different way.

You can have 100+ files in these folder without your phone is bad or behavior is bad.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
I think people misunderstood my post initially. I did mention that if no files reappeared after reboot/rescan then there was nothing to worry about - I do agree that it is was my mistake for not making this clear enough though.

As mentioned here (from my initial posts);
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Well but its not any problem with files in these folder. You can't say its data corruption or hardware fault. It can depends on much things.

But you have written this in many tread and have scared people with this false information. I don't mind this tread so it will be debated right. But even on your fist post its not clear what you means.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.3 * 600Hz * 346MB RAM * OC/UV * 1280MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
I have provided a section with a list of possible causes and have mentioned that that it does not necessarily mean that there is data corruption/hardware fault.. I'm sorry for the spams, I thought it would be appropriate for individuals of the forum to be avare of this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
True, but you first post is a mess. Its very hard to understand what you mean.

Also you make a big issue of something that's a very small problem, if any..

Sorry if I'm hard on you, but these Warning's on different things popup time to time and only make a mess for all that try to help people here. So basically this kind of warnings make more problem for people then the issues.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] currydude:
Ok I have done a few months of testing with other filesystems.

And I have noticed the following trends:

Using the "YAFFS" filesystem, supported by CM7 kernels, has resulted in 0 files appearing in the LOST.DIR folder.

RFS file system has also resulted in 0 files appearing in the LOST.DIR folder

EXT4 and EXT2, on the other hand, has resulted in at least 20 files appearing in the LOST.DIR folders per day.

That is always a hard question to answer. There are too many variables that affect battery life and one of the main ones is use. Without knowing how you use your device, no one will be able to calculate your battery life. The rom is irrelevant. You have to determine on your own what is sufficient for YOU.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihachris:
Hello guys, I was just wondering whether there are any themesout working for the stock ROM. I actually want to change my taskbar look without modifying the whole ROM. I have rooted my phone and installed the mik_os kernel (God bless him:D).

Any suggestions?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] acrossy:
As far as i know... that involves working through odexed files and since if you change the stock color... you'll have to setup the text colors too and THAT is the real pain in the ass if you have no ideia how to do it! (like meeeeee :P)

Even with tutorials for unexperienced ppl it basically involves you messing with the stock rom and deodex the specific files afecting the status bar and it's texts like the Framework ALL BY HAND! too much hassle if you're a noob, like me!

Basically you can't put themes that change the system setup without "deodexing" the ROM files you have to! That means you would be, in a way, "coocking" your own rom! and therefore it would not be a "stock" rom any longer!

Easiest solution is to get a custom rom that best suits your needs and with said theme you want OR.... make a nand backup of your ROM and go learn how to change and edit the files you need to place a new theme on your ROM and... flash it!?

Last case scenario but highly improbable... get ahold of your current ROM version, the official ROM for your specific phone model and ask somebody you may know or learn it how to do it your self and after you work it out! flash it!

I think there ARE videos on youtube about it but like i said... it's NO amateur stuff believe me!

Either Way remember to always backup your current ROM in case something goes wrong you can always restaure it!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kresk:
Hey, I'm having this weird problem with my 3G connection/data connection. If I end up loosing a 3G connection during a call. The only way to get it back is to end the conversation. To further explain... If I hit a spot with no 3G, then go back in a 3G spot, it won't come back on. I still have a good signal and i can talk but there's no E, G or 3G showing. While my phone is in this state I'm unable to browse the web,, it says no data connection which is odd because i obviously have a connection if I'm on the phone...3G starts to come back on As soon as i press end call. It instantaneously goes to E, then G, then 3G. At that point if I make another call, I'll still have a 3G connection and my phone works fine, i.e. i can browse the web and talk as usual. If I hit a spot where I loose 3G again (while in a call) it won't reactivate, I can continue to talk but I can't browse the web. No E, G or 3G showing (just bars with good signal) and it won't go back to normal until I end the call. Any suggestions?, thanks. unlocked bootloader, completely stock, not rooted running 2.3.3

Just for the heck of it I called t-mobile to get my original sim card activated. It's an oldie from 2004. They said it should be turned on within the next 24 hours. I don't ever remember it happening with any of my other phones while using the older sim. Maybe there's a connection,, it's worth a try, I don't have anything to loose. I'll post my results.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kramer987:
i was under the impression that you can't surf the web and make a call at the same time. since day 1 my phone has always turned data connectivity off as soon as i make a phone call. i thought its supposed to be that way lol. it isnt?

EDIT:

just did some testing. on 3G i can make phone calls and surf the web. on E, i cannot. i leave edge on all the time to save battery (dont need 3g to check emails), so i guess i thought its normal for data to cut out haha.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
tmobile and ATT networks are not setup right now to hand a call from GSM back over to 3G during a call. if you are on 3G during a call, and lose 3g and go back to gsm, you will stay on gsm until the call ends. then the phone will switch back to 3g.

this is done on purpose by ATT and tmobile, the thought is that they will enable this hand off direction once 3g is widely covered. but since gsm footprint is larger than 3g, they set it up this way. its annoying, but normal.

As we all know, it sucks when you loose confidence in your phone. Don't know if it's a web site etiquette thing and that's why I'm not seeing it. Either way, thanks a lot. peace
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raeef:
It depends on the 3G carrier setup by your operator. For example, my operator uses 2 carriers for 3G service, one is data only carrier and the other one is shared between voice and data. So sometimes 3G data connectivity goes away during a call because I was connected to a data only carrier and sometimes I keep using the data connection during the call because I was using a shared carrier. I don't know if this is the case for T mobile.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crazydeo:
Hey guys,

I have the original myTouch 3g (no 3.5mm jack).

I decided to unroot and go back to T-Mobile's original Froyo version (i know stupid idea). I attempted to use SAPPIMG.nbh file to go back to factory. Unfortunately, it didn't work so I tried using SAPPIMG.zip. Now I have a Vodaphone splash screen instead of the T-Mobile one. no access to recovery, or anything. I can access fastboot. Where did I go wrong?? (aside from wanting to un-root myself)

Any help would be appreciated!

Fastboot Screen reads:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-3.22.20.17

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xbloody:
well if u can access fast boot you can probably flash recovery again

fastboot flash recovery "recovery file.img"

or try to boot recovery

fastboot boot "recovery file.img"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crazydeo:
I attempted to do that but I get a signature failed error and booting recovery file just leaves me stuck at the red Vodafone splash image. Nothing else comes on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ndokami:
try finding the proper sapping.nbh file for your area / carrier.

place it in the root of your memory stick by its self. turn on your phone while holding vol down and let it flash the file. you should end up back on stock 1.5 i think just root again after. i had a similar problem like this like last week and had to start over =/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crazydeo:
I have tried multiple different sappimg.nbh files. But the problem is that now it somehow has Vodafone files on it. So i'm not sure how to get it back to T-mobile.

Every time I try the SAPPIMG.nbh it gives me the following error: Main version is older.

If I try to use a SAPPIMG.zip I get the following error: Model ID incorrect. Everything sort of fails when it checks for the signature.

Also, when I try to upload amon ra recovery to recovery partition with fastboot I get remote: signature verify fail.

@crazy

You're new here... so let me warn you here and now. The Development section is for the members that want to post their work such as roms, scripts, hacks, etc. When I'm in a bad mood and I see posts in the development section that are not development related I normally just delete them. However, I'm in a good mood and decided to move it to GENERAL where it belongs. HOWEVER... next time it will dissappear. Please take a few minutes and carefully read over the forum rules and stickies before posting. We also have a search feature that works quite well (most of the time).

If I see that you posted a new thread about something that is found in a sticky, already been answered and can be found by using the search feature or against forum rules you're post will be deleted and you may even be subject to losing your membership.

Besides all of that... enjoy and welcome!

Thanks for your help @Binary.

I searched all through the forums and tried to flash a recovery through fastboot. NO go.

Next I tried the gold card method and with that I continue to get either Model ID incorrect or Main version is older. So here I am seeking guidance from everyone else who may know what I can try next.

Thanks in advance for all your help guys.
