Decided to give this a shot to test it out for a friend, and here are my initial, one day of use thoughts:

- Had a bit of an issue installing. Maybe it's because I had lagfix on that I forgot to turn off or something but I got a bootloop after the first flash. Figured it was a lagfix thing and went back to JF6, did a Master Clear, flashed Rogers stock 2.1, then this. Worked just fine.

- fugu swap method worked perfectly the first time.

- Really impressed with the smoothness of this rom. Maybe it's just because I'm coming off a master clear, but it's been nothing but fast and smooth compared to Apex, which I came from.

- Data and wifi seems to work fine. 3G and H was spotty out here in rural Manitoba where Rogers shares MTS's towers. Call quality seemed to be okay.

- GPS stinks. Absolutely awful.

- Would have liked TW4, but I can see why they didn't include it.

- That mass storage problem from froyo (which was one of the main reasons why I switched to custom roms) seems to have been fixed.

- Didn't try bluetooth, don't have a headset.

- Animated GIFs don't seem to be working anymore.

Overall not bad. Might try Pinnacle again overtop of the new bootloaders.

Try updating the youtube app, because there might be a youtube widget on the homescreen that didn't load properly. I updated mine and no more crashing for me. Try that.
[Captivate General] dohboy15:
I updated it as soon as I flashed, but tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, so hopefully that helps!

Also, when I try to flash Clockworkmod Recovery it won't show the Captivate as an option, why is this?
[Captivate General] sansaman:
I 2nd this motion. My phone shows 95% once I unplug.
[Captivate General] cndgraham:
Turn the phone on

charge it to 100%

turn the phone off

charge it to 100% while off

unplug the phone from the wall

turn the phone on and let it boot all the way up

turn the phone off

charge it to 100% again

You might need to wait a few battery cycles (drain it all the way) before it becomes consistent.
[Captivate General] jkl555:
Poor WIFI

I tried a few others Gingerbread ROMs and including this one. At the end I always go back to Froyo because I can't really stand the poor WIFI. My symptom is the WIFI will get turned off and switch to 3g when the signal is weak.

I search XDA and it is reported it is a known problem (or feature) of gingerbread itself.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087441

Anyone experience the same problem ?
[Captivate General] Ymodem-G:
That isn't a problem. When your signal is that weak, your WiFi connection is dropping and switching to 3G because you are out of range from the WiFi Access Point.

Either move closer to the Access Point, or add another Access Point to boost the signal of the wireless network your connected to.
[Captivate General] jkl555:
But the same situation works perfectly fine in Froyo. According to the post, the threshold is 86db which I think is not realistic.
[Captivate General] goraps:
For me starting Angry GPS and doing a tracking test, then waiting for it to get a lock before using maps worked well. Then the next time I used maps I got a lock pretty easily. I haven't really tested how well it handled a lot of navigation though. I my opinion the Captivate I have has always been pretty crappy and recognizing turns and gets off track for a little. I think the software and settings tricks can do a little to help but it seems to me it is widely accepted that there is definately a hadware issue with the GPS as well that none of this will fix.

Clockwork Recovery

How would i go about installing Clockwork Recovery on this? Rom Manager doesn't list the captivate as a phone when I try to install it
[Captivate General] neta1964:
I don't think I could go back to Rogers 2.3.3 after flashing the newest roms out there. Running 2.3.5 right now and I am quite happy. :D

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

I was on Pinnacle 1.3 and was loving it...Thanks to Watsa and his great roms ;)

But right now 2.3.5 is the rom du jour.
[Captivate General] dohboy15:
How did you get Clockworkmod Recovery installed? I kind of want to try some new roms now that i have GB Bootloaders :D

I just tried Samsung Kies on a Windows 7 machine. Worked first time! I now have "Gingerbread".
[Captivate General] ckoolmike:
need some major help

seriously fed up with this whole process of updating to 2.3.3 Rogers.

I went through every thread trying to understand how to flash back to orig ROM 2.1 and then go through kies to 2.2. and then to 2.3.3. NO LUCK. I was on 2.2 and now after doing all these one-click ODIN3 master clear and AIO Captivate toolbox trying to flash a ROM..still no luck to get to 2.3.3.

Here is where i'm at: Rogers Capitvate

I'm back on 2.1 stock ROM

FIRMWARE version: 2.1-update1

BAseback version I896UXJI2

kernel version 2.6.29 root@sept-58#2

Build number: ECLAIR.UXJI2

This is where i need some serious help. Can you someone be so kind enough to walk me through how to get to 2.3.3 from here?

Another problem after i flashed back to stock ROM, i cannot download anything successfully from the market. SO i can't even download the "rom" app that allows you to flash from recovery mode. I don't know man...this is really confusing yet there are so much help out there. I'm just really suck and need someone's help.

Thanks in advance for helping out.
[Captivate General] Enhanced:
I get the dbdata error when flashing this. Anyone know of a solution and why it didn't happen to you guys?

Thanks.

[Captivate General] Nick0703:
That's because the 2.3.3 update file doesn't contain the dbdata.rfs file and also I think you have check re-partition when you were flashing. Flash back to this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007276 (2.2) and use the pit file and check re-partition then flash the 2.3.3 Firmware and make sure not to use the pit file and un check re-partition.
[Captivate General] BlackSideburns:
Sorry I'm a bit of a noob. How would I go about doing this?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
backup:make a copy of the original and [save it somewhere else], or [rename with a slightly different name/extention in the same folder]

install:

copy (with root R/W) to system/framework
[Captivate General] BlackSideburns:
So is using the kernel swap method the only way to gain root access on this rom?
[Captivate General] tomwsk:
Successfully did my rooted captivate using kies. it was ok. I really like the 2.3.3, much smoother.

Did you save the new edited nv_data.bin in Hex Editor before exiting? If you're still having problem PM me.

Is there an easier way to root? does gingerbreak work? Also has anyone tried the framework res apk posted in this thread?
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
Right so I tried flashing this after I went back to stock 2.2 through ODIN and it failed. I placed it in the PDA slot and I got this message.

Any ideas why?

EDIT: It worked now. I just redownloaded it and I flashed and it worked now.
[Captivate General] Nick0703:
The Framework-res.apk is good, I modified it to enable the CRT Screen Animation only, the rest is complete stock.
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
One thing I have noticed on this rom as well as on pretty much every other gingerbread rom, with the camera app when you take a picture, when you go look at it within the app the pic doesnt rotate but if you go look in the gallery at the pic it rotates perfectly.

Is anybody else noticing this too?
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
Did gingerbreak ever work?
[Captivate General] hitechchef:
never..

Has anyone found voodoo+cwm kernel for this one? Talon/DC don't work. And this doesn't have e3.

Here's a tip

Btw, im not sure if this was there before but you can change the default home screen by going into the home screen previews and pressing the settings button
[Captivate General] Culverin:
Hey guys,

I've read through this thread and I'm totally lost.

I got my Galaxy S Captivate from Rogers on 2.1, I did the upgrade to 2.2 a while back so I was able to get it to 2.3 without any major issues.

But this is the first time I am dealing with Odin.

I just downloaded Odein3 v.1.82 that jonnyg1097 posted.

Now I'm totally lost as to how to root my phone.

Sorry for guys, I know a lot of you have lots of better things to do, but I just can't stand using the older version of swype. I purged it out last time so I'm fingers crossed I'll remember how to do it again, but this old version is driving me absolutely nuts. Any help you guys can provide in terms of helping me root would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate General] hitechchef:
Step 1: Have stock Rogers 2.3.3 ( you have that)

Step 2: Download odin (you have that)

Step 3: Download fugu root and stock kernels here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17865158&postcount=1182

Step 4: Turn off your phone. Start odin and select the fugu kernel in PDA slot.

Press vol down and power at same time. This will take your phone into download mode. Connect your phone to computer, odin should read it. Hit start and let the kernel load.

Step 5: Allow you phone to reboot. You will get stuck in boot loop.

Step 6: Reset odin. Now select stock kernel in PDA. Pull out the phone battery to stop it from boot looping. Put back and boot in the same manner to download as mentioned before.

Step 7: Connect to odin and flaash stock kernel. You should have root when you boot up completely after these steps.
[Captivate General] Culverin:
AWESOME. Thanks! :D

It worked like a charm :)
[Captivate General] hitechchef:
No problem. Have fun

What is your Quadrant score ?

Can anyone who has run Quadrant on the stock ROM please post ? I am asking because I can get good results on Cog 5 v2 (I897UCKF1) but not this stock ROM. Even Cog 4 (running on Froyo) runs better than this stock ROM.
[Captivate General] hitechchef:
For what its worth.....less than 1000. On cog 4 I was getting 1500-1600. I know it means nothing, but in real life also, this rom seems "jittery". No lagfix on this one?
[Captivate General] FidoCappy:
App drawer

Can anyone tell me how the app drawer is, is it the standard side to side or like the nexus gingerbread top to bottom scroll?

Any crt animation when locking?

I'm thinking of switching back to stock, i'm currently on Serendipity 7. So far people have put good things about this stock rom.
[Captivate General] alexvtr:
App drawer: side to side.

No CRT animation, but can be easily added (do a search in this thread). I've done it and had no problems.

Battery is the best I've had of any ROMs (stock 2.1, 2.2 and the few custom I tried).
[Captivate General] FidoCappy:
thanks for the info.

I'm a little confused, some people go back to stock first then update through kies. Others are updating through Odin from the download provided.

I'm on Serendipity 7, could I just flash using odin and not go back to stock?
[Captivate General] Nick0703:
I would say go back to 2.2 (and re-partition it) then update it through KIES (It's just my opinion). If Kies doesn't work out because some custom ROMs might have changed your product code (To fix that read my sig) or else just flash with Odin.
[Captivate General] FidoCappy:
how do I use this apk file to add crt animation to my phone?
[Captivate General] FidoCappy:
So kies recognized my phone even though it said csc unknown. But no update showed up when connected. Anyone come across this before?

Anyhow, I ended up just using odin to upgrade. Thx for the help. This stock rom seems good so far, will test more today.
[Captivate General] nzahorchak:
Has anyone tried flashing this without the bootloaders? I've been trying to, but it fails at cache.rfs or NAND Write Start and gives me a snowy Downloading screen. I tried downloading it from both sources in case it was a bad download.
[Captivate General] clemmie:
I did, but I was already on the leaked ATT ginger. What are you currently running? I can't see sigs on the mobile app. If you are already on a captivate version of gingerbread, you probably shouldn't need to. If you are on a ported gingerbread ROM that was based off the old i-9000 you may need to load new boots.
[Captivate General] FidoCappy:
Sleep issue

Anyone else notice a sleep issue on this rom?

I upgraded two days ago. Once on the first day I went to wake up phone and it wouldn't. Had to pull battery and put back to wake up.

So I re-flashed this rom through odin. Factory/reset and did wipe. then today it happened once again. so to check if the phone worked I called it. It rings but phone screen is black. Had to pull battery again.

Anyone come across this? This has never happened when I was on stock 2.1, 2.2 or Serendipity 6.4 and 7.
[Captivate General] Nick0703:
I haven't got that yet and I'm running 2.3.3 for a week and a half now. :confused:
[Captivate General] FidoCappy:
I'm gonna monitor it and see maybe coincidence it happened twice. If it happens again, I'll probably revert back or maybe try the leaked 2.3.4 firmware.
[Captivate General] cozanostra:
can this be undone, if required? will Kies still recognize the phone for future updates?
[Captivate General] Nick0703:
Yeah Kies will recognize the phone.

CWM for KH2 Rogers

Hey guys, I just got the CWM for KH2 from Boog. I tested it and it's working perfectly. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18205594&postcount=296

How to:

1.Download SGS Kernel Flasher from Market

2.Choose the Kernel zip in SGS Kernel Flasher and flash kernel

3.The phone will reboot but won't get pash the I896 logo, to fix that boot the phone into recovery and select 'install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and select the kernel zip file.

4. When finish flashing it, reboot the phone and you should should get pass the I896 logo.

5. Congrats you now have CWM on your phone.

what do I do with that crt lock screen apk?

I tried putting it on my phone and installing it and

it just says it's not installed or w/e please help?
[Captivate General] Nick0703:
YOUR PHONE SHOULD BE ROOTED FIRST.

1. Make a backup copy of your original "framework-res.apk" located in "/system/framework" and paste it on the sd-card or somewhere else.

2.Take my modified "framework-res.apk" and paste in the same folder "/system/framework" and allow it to be over-write.

3. Reboot the phone and you should have the CRT Animation now. If you don't see it, enable "All windows animation shown" by going into Settings>Display>Animations.

Try renaming the file just to "I896UXKH2-HOMEBINARY.tar"??:confused:
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
No, don't change it at all. Changing the name can cause a md5 checksum failure. Try to dl again. You can check md5 by putting it Odin while not plugged into phone, then hit start.

Because when I try it, I get a message kinda like this "This device isn't supported blablabla...."

[Captivate General] LuckRocks:
nice whats the diff between rogers cappy and reg cappy?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
the screen not saying AT&T and ^arguably the audience chip
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
Hardware is identical other than branding. i897 was branded specially for AT&T.. hence why it says AT&T on the top of the phone.. i896 only has samsung branding.

If the hardware was different then software with audience chip support would not work on the i896.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
If the hardware weren't different, why don't they have the same model number with different branding?
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
so that when you package the product for shipping you know which skid of phones goes where would be my best guess.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
The I9000 doesn't have a different model number for every carrier that sales it. Why would Samsung be any different for 2 markets?
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
Who cares? look up the hardware and you will see there is no difference between the two models.

Edit: Does AT&T even carry the i9000?
[Captivate General] LNJ:
Check under the battery. Under model # the IC says i897 and it says the same for the FCC ID.
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
I never noticed that before. Mine is the same.. 649e-sghi897. Thats all the confirmation i need.

i also noticed the sgs2 model number is gt-i9100 but the at&t version will be gt-i9101. Not sure if it will be branded but they brand almost every phone so.... Ya... I dont know what any of that means.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
The s2 for att is I777.
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
Really? i wonder what the 9101 is then.

I777 is a different phone. Its also branded at&t. The gt-i9100 looks like the gti9000 model and the i777 looks like a captivate. They are both sgs2 but different models completely.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Iirc, Samsung can't sell the gt i9000/9100 phones in the us, due to litigation with apple. It is possible the 9101 was the phone Samsung put out with a tegrak chip when the 9100 was first released. They couldn't keep production up with the stock parts.
