[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
Hey, we all start somewhere :)

Welcome and BWolf gave you some very sound advice. I've been flashing new ROMs pretty much on a daily basis this week to find the ROM that suits me the best. Enjoy flashing and playing around with different ROMs. The nice thing about this phone is that pretty much there are ways to revive it if something "happens."
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avikar:
Dude hats off to you. Very correct. Even I flash ROMs almost daily. The worst thing ever happened to me was a boot loop and a home made jig saved me. Now I have a confidence that nothing can stop my phone. :thumbup:

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Choosing a rom is a hit and trial method. Just go to captivate android development forum and choose any rom which looks good download it and flash it using recovery. Most common thing is clockwork mod recovery to install any ROM. keep flashing different roms until you find the one that suits you. Happy flashing. :thumbup:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
I used to hold off buying a jig... until I truly needed one. Thanks to one click odin and heimdall, if anything happens, then you're always good to flash back to stock and try again ;)

I highly recommend a jig as it can save you from a LOT of headache.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20710788&postcount=6

You can buy one or build it yourself. It's a great investment and insurance plan :P

Feel free to flash whatever Captivate ROM you like, just pay attention to the flashing procedures in each thread (as Bwolf said).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooDEWoo:
Thanks...

But I will still Like to know The recent ROM - Which is stable and good for beginners Like me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
OK, start with CM10 stable. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
Beginners like you? IMHO, there are lots of different beginners and you haven't shared enough for me to know what kind of beginner you are.

By recent and best, do you mean that you just want a stock ROM, perhaps rooted, but otherwise pretty much the same as the last stock release, Gingerbread KK4? It is 'recent' - because it is the latest and final official release, more recent than earlier releases.

Or do you want a ROM that is unofficial, won't be supported by your carrier or by Samsung, but that runs Jelly Bean 4.2 with an occasional bug or broken feature?

Beginner is relative to the field in question, yes? An Olympic gold medal swimming winner in his first year in medical school is a beginner at surgery,

Do you excel at really carefully reading and understanding all instructions before you start on a task?

So, if you are starting as a complete newbie, maybe go for KK4 Gingerbread and add the Corn Kernel. Get stable with that. Get comfortable making nandroid backups, and using root browsers to back up efs and other folders. get comfortable moving the files to your pc, to the external sd card, etc.

After getting all the stuff backed up with good knowledge about how to restore it all, then go flash a stable 4.1 or 4.2 jelly bean rom. you will need to flash twice. oh, and get gapps, too.

does this all sound like jibberish? read the sticky threads, read the glossaries, etc,.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
If you're looking for a ROM with a lot of UI and benchmark improvements, Captivating by Sephi looks great, although I haven't tried it myself. No one here really wants to pick 1 specific ROM, because everyone is different and don't want to be rude to the dev's :).

Flashing ROMs on the Captivate is fairly simple, and as others have stated if you have a jig (if you don't want to buy one pre-made, you can make your own w/o soldering, there's a guide in this forum for it), you can just play around with different ROMs and can almost always fix the phone if anything bad should happen.

Just browse XDA until you find one that you think you may like, read the reviews, and try it out for yourself :)

I recommended Captivating ROM by she phi.. U will not disappointed

I consider myself a beginner and I like Cyanogenmod 10.1. I am using the nighties and I find it quite stable and easy to update.
[Micromax A110] ish639:
after updating my canvas 2 with jelly bean, i experienced my mobile volume is now lower than it was with ICS.

also, i am using dr. battery killer which kills almost 20-25 processes each time. but in ICS, it was only 6-10 processes, that was also in rare cases. so how can i limit the background processes?

i tried to manually stop few of them but they restart automatically.

please help!
[Micromax A110] Y_2_J:
well i dont face any problem of low volume after the update infact it is higher than ics for me and use advanced task killer it is better than dr. battery killer :)
[Micromax A110] ish639:
hmm thanks bro for the app. it is really a better one.

but what about low volume problem...anyone?:confused:
[Micromax A110] SuperDroid-BOND:
Bro

You can also try:-

Settings-developer options-set background process to none.

This option willbe 3rd from last in dev option.

Try this as well..'.

You will surely gey results.'.
[Micromax A110] Akshitbanta:

[Micromax A110] ish639:
i tried this option earlier but it i this option troubled me.

I disabled this option but then too most of the time, when i open my minimised browser window, it every time refreshes the page.

can anyone help me out in this?

also,

can we change the setting of applying wallpaper?

as we know we have to crop the picture while using it as wallpaper. is there any option to use the complete picture as wallpaper?/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dahrat:
i was wondering, i know T-Mobile used to use sim cards (Unknowledged Now) and i had a couple of androids from T-Mobile back in 2008-2009 and modded them all to work with AT&T but i could only use edge network (only 3g out at that time). Has this changed any? Reason I am asking is I've been searching for so long in my area on local sites like craigslist for a good price on an AT&T i747 but just cant find one. Yet I have found some good deals on some T-mobile galaxy sIII phones. So I guess the questions I'm trying to ask are:

1. Does T-Mobile still use sim cards?

2. Can i use a T-Mobile GS3's with AT&T and have 4g LTE functions?

3. If it were you would you save $100 and go with the equivelant Gs3 T-Mobile, compared to paying $100 more for the AT&T version? (my situation)

I have more time than money, but I love not being limited, thats why im buying one in the first place. love my infuse 4g (4.2.2) but man... dat gsIII :(

and if i can just drop Clockwork on it and root it up and go on my marry way, heck yea :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
this seems primarily about the t999, so you should head over to that forum for better answers from people who use their t999 on att. tmobile is still a gsm carrier and uses sim cards. I would buy the t999 as I'm pretty sure you can use 3g/4g (not really 4g though as I consider lte to be 4g) with it on att. but again, head over to the tmobile forums for better answers.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dahrat:
thank you ill report back here with some cool information to share for others who might be curious :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
I agree, the tmo forum may be able to help more, however to answer some of it:

1. Yes, tmo still uses SIMs

2. Most users can only get HSPA+ due to the different frequencies. So, while data will be much better than edge, it won't be as fast as LTE.

3. I would not. Due to the potential problems of not getting LTE, the 100.00 is worth it to me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KeeperOfThePizza:
If you do not care about LTE then go for it. That really should be your only concern.

Definitely go talk with the people over in the tmo forums. Theyd probably be of better assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pouncer11:
I am not new to the android / xda community by any means, but I can say that I am either missing something or information is incredibly dis-contiguous. That said, on my older HTC phones I pretty much went through hastle to get them rooted and then just flashed whatever Via recovery.

I have managed to figure out how to get root and flash custom recovery and all that jazz. I also had a custom rom at one point, but I like stock rooted better.

ANYWAY I am on Baseband L900PALJC and Build JRO03C. I keep getting those stupid update notifications and I would like to get updated to the correct Profile / Baseband / Radio / Stock Rom ETC. can someone briefly explain what all needs to be done or point me to a somewhat organized set of valid instructions ? I am currently downloading the newest toolkit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
You're already rooted so you don't need that toolkit. Go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2148604 and download the odex ROM and the All in One firmware. Flash the firmware which will upgrade that from LJC to MA7. Then flash the odexed ROM. You will be rooted, upgraded to the latest firmware and the latest stock ROM (MA7).

This is what i'm looking for

Thanks buddy :D yesterday I just themed my phone to look like ios using hellybean rom, the only problem is when I use 4.2.2 rom my battery could'nt stand for at least 6 hours, usually just around 4 hours starting from 100% untill 0%. Then I was thinking is there any xda members who port this ios like rom and cm7 based? I just want to revert back to GB because since I buy my nexus s, my starting point is JB4.1.2. Suddently, I just saw this thread.. :victory: really love to try this rom. I'll inform you as soon as possible if i found some bug . cheers :good:. Btw, how can I make this rom deodex? I'm not trying to change anything, for my personal using, I choose to use deodexed rom because it much more easier for me. If you can deodex this rom it would be great :D .

sorry for my bad english
[Nexus S Android Development] ChaosChris:
Can you try that: go to settings > apps > Google Play Store, force close, uninstall updates and clear app datas.

edit: I uploding right now a new version with lastest playstore and included gapps
[Nexus S Android Development] humayooshah:
Unstalling the updates did the thing .. :) but everytime wifi gets connected, its installs the update again .. but anyways i can deal with it :)

i'll try it after 2 years. hehehe

how to turn off notification:

where is the network signal? for some user, the data connection could not connected
[Nexus S Android Development] triosakti:
Tried this ROM a few hours ago...

quite nice..

but why after I finished flashing (clean flash) the ROM does not start with google account login?

and also... my Play Store is always Force Close if opening an app page (opening Play Store it self is OK, but while I select an app, it FC-ing)

even when I open My Apps menu on Play Store.. it's FC-ing..

and on some of my friends device, can't get Radio signal (even it works on my Crespo.. how lucky I am, LOL)

can't found any Gmail shortcut (it said that gapps included, right?)
[Nexus S Android Development] humayooshah:
As for the Gapps issue go to settings > apps > Google Play Store, force close, clear app data and uninstall updates

and

then go back to the playstore to download whatever you like.. it will work.. since playstore updates itself..and new version i not compatible with this rom i guess

I just wanna know if any other kernel is compatible with this rom ?

and is the deep idle enabled in the built-in kernel ?
