Alright, this thread inspired me as well and few days ago i decided to flash CM7 from CM10 nightlies which i've never been before since i got this phone lol i just went straight to CM9. All i can say about CM7 in the cappy is O.M.G what a change so i decided to make it a keeper, how? well changing the UI what else lol so ok i took the plunge and made a Phone version of my RibbonICS tablet theme for CM7 together with ZduneX25 ICS layout patch and gee i'm proud of the result i'm loving it.

I have posted some screenshoots here, i'm still working on it i want to make it the best as possible.

Note: I will be releasing a slim CM7 ROM with the patches and the theme in few days, The font in the screenshoots is Comfortaa but i'll add roboto fonts to the ROM once i'm done with the theme.

If you can't wait and want to have a taste of the theme before i release it you can donate to me and I'll send you the the RC version.

That theme is VERY nice looking, look forward to trying it.

In the mean time I suggest GB users check out this theme, it's VERY polished and really makes the GB phone pop.
[Captivate General] scythekain:
I missed this comment before, unrelated to CM7/9/10.

NEVER use the Facebook or Twitter app. Both stock apps are garbage. Unfortunately there is no good Facebook replacement, I've come to like Plume for Twitter, and until Slices hooks into system sharing is my goto app.

For Facebook just make a shortcut on your launcher to the mobile website. It looks EXACTLY like that app and functions faster.
[Captivate General] lavero.burgos:
I have made more modifications and fixed few bugs since last time check the new screenshoots in the same link above.

I just need to fix 2-3 other bugs and the theme will be ready to be released, i decided to make free and paid version and i'll be placing it in the google play. I will still post the CM7 slimmed down ROM with the patches and the free version of my theme when is ready.

Cheers!

For me, I have always liked the CM9 ICS ROM. I highly understand what you mean JB is very laggy due to the cappy being single processor phone in all.

CM7 Installation aborted

Hey Guys,

I was trying to do the exact same thing like the original poster but I'm getting installation aborted. Currently I have Slimbean 4.1 on my device and the CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4.

I did the following steps:

- Wipe Data

- Wipe Cache

- Install zip from sdcard and chose the cm7 file (stable). It goes through and then just gives me a Installation aborted. Do I need to have an older version of CWM perhaps? Any help here how you guys downgraded back to cm7?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] lavero.burgos:
I just went back to stock with a one click Odin install with no bootloader
[Captivate General] BTRL30NTM:
Every time I go from a datadata to a no datadata ROM I flash the kernel first then reboot recovery and proceed. Example : DOCS v12 (ICS) boot into recovery flash JB devil or any other JB kernel then reboot recovery and install JB ROM. Vice versa if I'm going from JB to ICS, I experience no boot loops with that method just make sure you DONT reboot phone in recovery AFTER installing the kernel then ICS ROM with JB kernel wouldn't be a good idea.
[Captivate General] lavero.burgos:
Alright im ready to release the ROM i promised :) expect it today. Im still using cm7 with my theme and i have no intentions of going back to cm9+ but i just wish battery life be better on cm7, that's the only downside.

Im using latest glitch kernel with SIO and smartassv2, 100Mhz min and 1000Mhz max, default voltages. Any suggestions to improve battery life?

scythekain: What are you running right now, if I may ask? I have also come to realize that my phone isn't good enough to run ICS/JB, so I want to downgrade. I think I also want to overclock, but I have only had bad experiences from that, so I was hoping I could follow your lead here, and do what you do. Hope that's ok! :)
[Captivate General] Ajfink:
Cm10 is a bit laggy sometimes for me, but in general, it's definitely nicer overall than CM7. It's totally cool that you can flash back to it if you want to, though.

I ran into a problem of trying to flash CM7 onto my phone after I had CM10.1 on it. I ended up putting CM9 on since thats all I could get to work.
[Captivate General] thisguyneil:
I'm really glad I found this thread. My note is getting fixed so I pulled out the ol cappy and upgraded to cm10.1 rc4 and almost vomited. It was so slow even oc'd at 1.2 I couldn't do anything. I believe I saw someone say theres no good alternative to facebook, try something called "fast facebook" it was on appsales the other day and i tried it out. its fast, ill give them that but now that ive read through this thread ill flash cm7.1 back to my cappy then. I just hate it when im trying to text someone and it takes my keyboard 40+ seconds to come up because its trying to load the 100+ texts in that thread. its horrible. welcome back gingerbread

I've been running Helly Bean (4-26-13) (JB 4.2.2 - CM10.1) for about 3 weeks now. My Captivate runs smooth as butter.
[Captivate General] Val D.:
Nothing on GB was faster than JB. I don't know what some guys here are talking about. :confused:

Some guys are trying to load 4000+ contacts, 2000+ messages, run Flash content webpages, keep running 50+ services, etc... on a 3y old 1GHz phone with 150MB available ram! This is not a hardware issue, nor software. This is a user related issue.
[Captivate General] spotdog14:
Same here, CM10.1 was painfully slow.

I am currently running CM9 and its surprisingly fast. I don't have a lot loaded on my phone currently because like you I am waiting for the S3 to get back from Samsung with a new screen.
[Captivate General] mikediaz234:

[Captivate General] tork0112:
Yea, Ive been trying different ones. Havent tried the rc 5 yet. RC was pretty stable for me. I tried Pac Rom, Gamerz, and cRom. I think I'll put just CM back on it as for my everyday use seemed to work better for me.

I'm gonna check out that kernel. I have been trying different ones on different roms lately. Tryin to find "That One" that feels right to me..
[Captivate General] mikediaz234:

I really liked helly bean. A few lags, but I am sure can be taken care of via kernel settings.

Trying the v4 gamerz right now. Love how smooth it is, just no where near as customizable as helly. Thank goodness for backups! Haha.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eighthourblink:
Long story short, i have had the Droid razr for about a month and as soon I got the device, I flashed over the Black Widow ICS rom. Everything worked fine and smoothly but then a noticed a problem and hopefully you guys can help me.

There are updates for various Google Apps (Gapps) that i installed when flashing over the ROM. If I look at my apps within the Google Market as a whole, under the Installed tab, nothing needs updating. But for instance, if i click on Gmail, theres a update for it.

So first i was like cool, Ill try to download it. Downloads fine when it tries to Update, it says " Error - Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again" I understand what the error code means so I think to myself, "ok ill just delete the app and download using the Market."

Go to Manage Apps, and all i can do is Disable the so-called app but i cant uninstall it. So i thought, "ok ill try to uninstall it through the Google Market. Nope, the only two options are UPDATE and OPEN.

So i need you help. Should i download a newer version of GAPPS or is there a easier way to uninstall so i can just re-download it again.

Thanks EHB
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ooohhaaahh:
Use a root browser (like es file explorer) make sure the /system is accessible and root enabled.

Go to /system/apps and delete the .apk for it

Same thing happened to me with the Arctic rom, maps wouldn't update, so i just got maps from the market after deleting it

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eighthourblink:
So i tried to use both ASTRO file manager and the one you recommanded ( es File Explorer). i got to the point of deleting the files but every time i tried it simply says "Cant delete files"

I know im rooted and all so i dont know what the problem is

EHB
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mobzter:
that is odd.. should have worked.. try using titanium backup.. should do the trick!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] miewter:
Use Root Explorer as then 2 apps above is not powerful enough to delete the system file. Be sure you are on R/W mode, you can check on the upper right part of Root Explorer. That should do the trick.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] refreblast:
You said you flashed a new Rom, which means you know how to use recovery. From the text it shows when you install a GApps package, it deletes the old files before adding the new ones. Now, I haven't actually looked at the install code but I wouldn't imagine Cyanogen or whomever the builder of that package is, would lie about something that thousands of people use?

Anyways, just try flashing a new GApps package. A few of the ones I have flashed have had Gmail included while others have not.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Broded:
A few days ago my power button stopped working, I looked at the other threads on this and have made 100% its not software. I opened up my phone and inspected the internal button, it still presses just fine, I think that the contacts inside the button are probably trashed though. It still works just fine, but its annoying to use a screen off app to turn the screen off, and then hope that the one out 1000 button presses will turn the screen back on.

On my search for craigslist I didn't see much in my area, but I did manage to snag a pretty much NIB sprint GSIII for cheap, which I'm using now.

Since my number is no longer on the ET4G, can I still bring it into sprint? Or am I going to have to hunt for a parts phone?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dmz2012:
Hi, I'm new to both the android OS and xda

Recently moving off the iPhone and to the SGS3, the first thing I wanted to do with my new phone is root and install the well-acclaimed Cyanogenmod on my new phone. I'm trying to decide between using the stable CM9 or the alpha CM10. I am currently having trouble deciding because I am afraid of using a CM10 rom that has bugs, bugs that I don't believe I have the experience to really deal with. (But i love project butter)

I was wondering if the upgrades to CM10 are worth installing a less stable OS. I was also curious if i would have to reinstall the OS after every few updates. Or should I just stick with the stable CM9 and wait for a more stable CM10 release?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tacotino:
To be honest man try both. Cm9 stable is going to give you a great experience IMO. I was rocking cm10 and AOKP both tons of fun. But!! I could stand the glitches, but that's me and I end up using CM or AOKP on every phone once there's a stable build. At the same time I love the look and feel of the tw rom and I waited so long for ics. That I can wait a bit longer for JB. The phone is so fast and amazing I don't think I really matters.. cuz its better than the icrap. I would flash jb cm10 or AOKP and live the life of a true flasher then if you can't stand it use Cm9 til a stable version of the jb comes out. Or do what I do.. use one of the amazing stock Rom's til jb comes and go crazy on a stable build. But once again that's me. I use Netflix and I love have consent controlled volume on my phone. Now I'm not knocking all the hard work of TASK or Cyanogenmod both are amazing! I mean the preview builds are great! But I need stable for work and as of now my vaca.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] motrinHD:
I have found a craigslist post in my area saying there letting go there phone for $250. In the post they continue to say that only the screen is cracked. A picture they posted shows the phone on with cracks on the screen.

I have emailed them and they replied that if it doesn't sale they will just repair it, because it only cost $18 (this concerns me, why not just repair on such an expensive phone)

My questions: is it worth it?? Also what questions do you think I should ask? And if I meet them in person what should I look for?

Thanks in advanced xda folks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
My friend cracked the glass on his and the screen won't even turn on. I called the phone and it rang but the screen wouldn't light up and the digitizer wouldn't register touches. So I'd stay away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
I have seen replacement screens on eBay for $20 or so, but I believe that the digitizers are glued to the screen.

If you can't cleanly separate the two, you're probably in for the cost of a replacement combo ... about $200.

Still cheaper than a new one outright ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
I've seen replacement screens on ebay for maybe $15-20 but to replace it seems rather difficult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=relmfu.

It's really up to you whether it's worth it or not. If you're up for the challenge of replacing the screen (or if you think you can live with the crack, you didn't mention how bad it is) then go for it. If not, I'd probably stay away as this doesn't exactly seem like an easy fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kameleongt:
Try lowering his price to 200$ then send it in to Samsung they will charge about 190$ to replace it. The digitizer is glued to glass and u won't be able to separate and put on new glass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
If you can talk him down some and just pay Sammy... Most definitely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] motrinHD:
thx for the replies. now I know why there selling it. My guess is that the digitizer is also broken. I will try to talk them down or not ill just pass. thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
It may not be broken but its all one unit.. my guess is they already know this or they would have gotten it fixed themselves
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dra$tiK:
Replacement screens are about 18-20 but replacing them is very difficult because of the adhesive that bonds them... Dont't buy it.. you would have to buy a new bezel with the screen and digitizer attatched to it. about 200-250 itself..A shop around me does it but they said it would be 300 plus labor..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matt_1224:
If you can get it at a decent price and can replace the screen cheaply then i would say go for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kameleongt:
Where did u get that quote I have a broken gs3 and best option is Samsung 180 shipped and returned. OP did the phone need bezel replaced? Here is my damaged phone not one scratch on bezel landed perfectly flat and the SGP case doesn't offer much protection over the screen its almost flush. If it was under or roughly 160-180 plus 180 screen replacement sub 400 gs3 good price.
