After using it for a while, including the most recent RC8c from the I9000 forums I have concluded it is not better than RC7 because of bugs. In my experience, the battery is not lasting any longer on RC8 than RC7. I went back to RC7 until the Google Voice and MMS bugs are resolved.

The above notwithstanding, between Proto, mcord and task, you'll get plenty of support on RC8.
[Captivate Android Development] aasheet:
the battery life is much much better compared to rc7

and is stable too

camera is also better

upgrade dude :)

also , u just need to install the flash , and clear data , chache etc , nothing else [seeing u are on miui rc-7]
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I have the psd source file, if wanted. I think it's time to donate a bit a cash to the hard working devs over at the i9000 thread.
[Captivate Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
Is there some sort of known error with RC8B and contacts not working properly? Because when I try to message someone through the Contacts app it says that said number is invalid. As well it just shows the number of a contact rather than their name.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Read the faq.
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
No network

Ok, I've fought this all morning and I've done what I could think of, and what is listed in the FAQs.

I was upgrading from RC7 to 8, and noticed I didn't have a data icon (3g, H, etc) when the phone booted up after the initial configuration screens. No biggie, I've seen this type of behavior before. However, it would usually "wake up" and the icon would show, I would have internet, yadda yadda. This time around, the icon never appeared after multiple reboots, toggling, and even flashing, re-flashing RC8, the kernel, and various different modems.

As a test, I flashed back to RC7 and after a couple reboots, the icon appeared and I had internet connection. So, I decided to try RC8 again... It is doing the same thing to me now. I can send/receive text messages and calls, but internet is a no-go.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

crymzyn
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Try a different modem but let it sit (a few minutes) on the initial screen after rebooting from the different modem install.
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Thanks askpcguy... I had tried this with a couple of different modems earlier, but I'm going to give it another go right now. With all of the different things I have tried, who knows if I gave it long enough to sort itself out.

I will let you know. Oh, and by the way, when I would try to access the "Access Point Names" item in the "Mobile Network Settings" page in Settings, it crashes on me. Not sure if that's a known issue or if it might be a cause/symptom.

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It shouldn't crash, try redownloading the rom and then try flashing that.
[Captivate Android Development] nuwayman:
Any eta on when we might see the miui mgv1 build for our captivates?
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Swapping modems did not work... Trying to download a fresh copy and reflash the ROM now. Thanks!

EDIT: Downloaded a fresh zip and tried again - same results. The Access Point Names selection in settings FCs on me.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I'm going to remake the rom from MIUI Android 1.5.6 base since I need to edit some things that will be easier to do if I redo it. So it might be delayed until tomorrow for RC8c depending on how much I can complete. So the new version won't be based on Galnet's version.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Flash back to RC7, since that works for you, and wait for me to remake the new rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Thx for the info

Going to run this for a day on my tester and see how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Where did you get the neo 9 kernel from could you provide a link? also is the other version of miui better?
[Captivate Android Development] xtracrispy69:
hey guys, thinking this'll be my first custom rom. With the latest .24 how did you find the process, and what bugs currently exist? I'll be flashing from stock 2.2 (virgin :) )
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Hey guys! can anyone provide a link for the new neo 9 kernel, I want to give it a try
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Neo 9 has issues with bluetooth. If you are using bt probably should hold for fix
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
oh okay, thanks never mind. Ill stick to the neo 7, it is awesome on bettery life and bluetooth works great too
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I will link it once bt fix is implemented. Apparently something that was changed in the cm7 git broke bt. They are aware of it
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I flashed first time earlier. Easy install
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Read the op, ask if confused on anything. If this is your first flash of any sort, terms you should know before flash in my opinion

Clockwork recovery

Thee button combo

Download mode

Odin

Jig

Kernel

Modem

If you do not know any of these, being informed prior makes life easier

[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
how can i get back to 2.1 stock from MUIU? I can't get into download mode with ODIN 1 click or manually... weird
[Captivate Android Development] papilliond:
So far no issues. First Miui rom, so it takes some adjusting to the menus. My props to the dev, my questions are, What kernel would be best for smoothness and battery? Also what keyboards should I use? I'm using a gingerbread keyboard and I can't use any numbers. When I press the numbering get the symbol as if I were holding the shift button on the keyboard. Also battery has been pretty bad. Will this get better after a couple of cycles, or should I have flashed some fix?
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
ok i installed the neo 9 kernel for this.. it's a mess. my back and search buttons don't work... no sound (in headphones mode even tho no phones are plugged in)... i dunno what to do.. any help?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I am having good luck with Platypus Neo7 kernel, and personally, I've really like Swype.

Battery had gotten a lot better for me on this newer version with Neo7. Turn wifi/gps off if you're not using it, that should help

[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
remove 4way reboot if you don't need it/don't work/etc.

just flash in cwm and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
i want 4 way reboot back actually.. it's not working for some reason anymore lol
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
1. your phone is switched on

2. remove back panel

3. remove battery

4. now your phone is switched off

5. put battery back

6. hold volume - and press power on
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
my 4 way reboot is still not back. stil don't see how ur steps would help solve that like i said before.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The 4 way reboot menu is not included.

Download mode = volume up + volume down, then plug in cable

Recovery mode = volume up + volume down + power button

Volume up/volume down + power = i9000 2.3 bootloaders

If it's a Samsung email app, it won't work since this is not a Samsung rom and there is no touchwiz support.

If it's not, here is how to install it:

Download Root Explorer or use another file manager app.

Change mount to r/w.

Copy your email.apk.

Past it in system/app/

Overwrite old email.apk (if you need too).
