Hello,

from noob to noob my suggestion is to READ.

Consider to reserve your questions for something you are totally unable to face by yourself or you can't find by yourself just using "Search".

To answer your question, there's a huge "sticky" thread at the top of the general section. I'll find all the guides you need, including how to root, how to flash a recovery, and the thread related to new rom, each of them beginning with information and guide.

It's the very first thread.

No offense, i'm a noob me too.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
for tethering... check the app store im sure there are free utilities that will allow you to tether ..

If you switch up your rom to JellyBean (as there are no stable FULLY working AOSP roms) you'll be missing some things.. ie: keyboard lights, pictures don't save with proper rotation, bluetooth headset, no ability to use skype ... some roms dont have wifi tethering working...

Rootbox 4.2.2 gives the best battery so far, keyboard lights don't work though...

Check out the "Everything SAmsung Glide" thread under development, read about the roms that are active and it should give you a great start!

Welcome to the community!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jzamoras:
reading I think the best thing to do at this time is just root stock?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
I find that the keyboard lights patch that ties lights to capacitive buttons does not make a real difference in battery life. I use it and my battery last as long as without it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jzamoras:
sorry to bother again, I haven't find how to update kernel and CWM. I have a xperia pro which I just have to start at fastboot, flash boot.img and then flash rom. how do I update CWM and kernel in a stock 4.0.4? thx!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
You flash a kernel that's compatible with your ROM in recovery...that's it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jzamoras:
still don't get it.. kernel should be flashed at fastboot point (or whatever it is called for samsung devices). CWM recovery is supposed to flash roms... or am I missing something?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
Ummm we flash with recovery here...you can open the zip file and paste the boot.img into manually if you like. That's about it. We don't deal with fastboot or hboot with this phone. Sony phones are a lot different. Like I said, download litekernel and flash with twrp or cwm. its as simple as that...as long as the version of the kernel matches the rom version. There is litkernel ics or for jb. You want litekernel ics. So do some reading then come back and ask questions.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] jzamoras:
I read the captivate (not glide) wiki and it's much clear:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_captivatemtd

step 1 put phone in download mode (like sony's fastboot mode).

step 2 flash custom recovery (which cointains the kernel I guess) using hemdall

step 3 boot into recovery and flash rom and gapps

I read several ppl lost imei info. I tried to backup but looks like requires root. Do I need to root stock, backup imei and then install the custom rom?

thanks!!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
Id use odin. Much easier. Then flash twrp or cwm. Then go to whatever rom you want flash it and flash kernel. Gapps too if your using a aosp rom. That guide is for captivate not captivate glide... check out this guide for more insight http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621350
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jzamoras:
at what step should I flash kernel? what about if I just want to use cyanogenmod kernel (boot.img)? do I really need to backup IMEI?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
I added more to my post. Check out the link. I think its what you need to read. Its everything about this phone in one thread.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

You would flash kernel right after rom.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] og anarchy:
odin cwm

flash su

backup

clear cache factory reset

flash rom

flash gapps

flash kernel

clear cache clear cache clear cache

reboot wait for a minute takes a while to get through the boot image the first time

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

every rom if you go to its thread to download has the steps listed for how to flash in what order if you take the time to read you will get it

try this thread has link to every tweak trick hack rom kernel or anything that has been usable to me in rooting and roming my glide

Hi, first three steps are done. I'm still looking for the best rom to daily use. About the step "flash kernel", do I have to flash litekernel ICS or JB depending the rom version of course, however, what about if I just want to use cyanogenmod provided kernel inside the zip? just I have to skip that step? what kernel do you recommend if I want to use cyanogenmod?

thanks for all the help guys, you have made me the job much easier!!

About an hour ago i logged into xda via tapatalk and was faced with this upon opening the post i came across an advert, at the bottom of the advert was a"what's this " button upon clicking it i found myself faced with this Now is this something that admin are aware of and have allowed or is it something that tapatalk had done off their own backs?

[About XDA developers] mtdew:
Taptalk has no control over this you paid for taptalk to have all of your forums in a single location.

Unfortunately for you the individual forums admins choose to have these ads show to gain revenue for their individual site. The only way I could see your argument making sense is if the adds showed up on the xda paid app. At that point both parties were paid as the individualized app costs a large sum of money for the site to pay TT to make and the site makes back that money on the revenue from the app being purchased.

This is all simple economics and nothing to get your panties in a twist about Lol.
[About XDA developers] VivaErBetis:
I don't agree. Tapatalk app have control because it identify these ads (the blue triangle ones). So, If these ads can be identified, can be deactivated too.

Another history is if they want to do it or not... And this is a real unfair move against their customers (the users who paid for it's app, not only the forum admins).
[About XDA developers] Michealtbh:
This is unacceptable. If they want to show ads they should provide a free, ad supported version. Both XDA and Tapatalk are at fault here - Tapatalk for enabling the ability to show ads and XDA for choosing to show ads.

For those waiting for an official reply: We have nothing to do with the ads in the paid TapaTalk app. We don't make money on them, and we don't want them there. I am going to do my best to yell at them. XDA being available in the Tapatalk app is actually something that *costs* us quite a bit of money as the TT plugin is extremely server intensive. So, we have the server costs and none of the revenue.

The xda app has a free and premium version. Premium has no ads and will never have ads.
[About XDA developers] js1999:
When I get to the office in a couple hours, I'll figure out a way to get free versions of XDA Premium (ad free) to anyone having this issue with the TT app. Maybe I'll post the apk here for a couple hours or offer refunds for people purchasing over the next 5 hours. Or somthing like that. Stay tuned.
[About XDA developers] jugg1es:
I don't appear to have them on the premium xda app, it does seem to be limited to tapatalk. Thing is i prefer tapatalk because i have paid for the full package (colours, unlimited pics etc) i also bounce between a number of forums hence tapatalk is just easier

[About XDA developers] js1999:
OK, so this was all a big misunderstanding. We spoke to TapaTalk. They had an auto opt-in for forum owners to display these ads. We never wanted it on, and we've never gotten paid for it. If we do, we'll donate it to an appropriate charity. I'll take full blame for not noticing and not opting out. There's no reason to blame TapaTalk for this.

We don't like ads in paid apps any more than you guys.

The TapaTalk ads have now, apparently, been turned off. I use the XDA Prem app (of course), so someone please let me know if you keep seeing the ads after a couple hours.

For anyone who buys the XDA Premium app between now and 1PM Eastern, I'll go through later this afternoon and refund your money. Depending on how many buyers there are, it might take me a bit. If you haven't gotten your refund by tomorrow, PM me.
[About XDA developers] s.whiplash:
Since you are not seeing ads on other forums, I wonder if there is a configuration parameter some where to enable these ads on a site and it is configured differently for this forum versus other forums.Possibly added with a default value with a upgrade or possibly became active with an upgrade somewhere on the server side.
[About XDA developers] bornagainpenguin:
Got my reply from them with the same BS as the other guy. Screen shot enclosed:

Tapatalk can say the forum owners are to blame all they want, but by making this "auto-opt in" they knew this kind of thing would happen and they could point the blame elsewhere. I will be seriously considering alternatives, maybe even buying the xda premium app next month when I have more money.
