MackayROM CM9??

Since i can't it now:

Can you please flash the rom and then directly one of these kernels (flash rom+kernel then reboot):

Semaphore 1.3

Semaphore 1.2.6

Please let me know
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
Dear Monfro,

It goes like this:

1: Boot to recovery.

2: Wipe data + cache

3: install MackayROM CM9 from sd card:: It restarts itself and boot to recovery.

4: install from sd card/ external_sd :: and then no memory exists there.

5: I have to go back to stock every time.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
I forget CM9 is on an old partition layout.

Flash the first time: it converts partitions to the layout used in CM9, then it reboots to the recovery just flashed.

It is normal this way.

Flash the second time: it installs the rom.

But you can't since /sd card and /external_sd are not mounted.

Try this: flash one of the semaphore kernel i linked. reboot recovery and then flash rom.

Tomorrow or the day after i will post again the rom with some modifications.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Today:

Latest official rom for our device (oh well...its cousin Nexus S): Android 4.1.2 JZO54K

Deodexed and recompiled framework with some added features (vol to wake, vol to skip tracks...)

Official rom means better optimization, better audio support...

Samsung updated this device only to 2.3.5; we are lucky that Nexus S is 90% the same hardware as Captivate and Galaxy S I9000.

Android JZO54K 4.1.2 Stock Captivate

(gapps included)

I think this is the best rom available for this device.
[Captivate Android Development] Bronando:
Just tried it out. Google search doesnt work and xposed doesnt work either. :\
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Yes, I totally agree with you. I have a Nexus S unrooted with stock 4.1.2. It is really stable and fast and runs all apps better than my Captivate. I was just thinking of it the last week and here you are with this ROM. Unconscious Telepathy maybe? :D

Flashing it now. Thank you so much!!! :good:
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" error keeps coming up as soon as I press OK.

EDIT: Doesn't detect my SIM anymore even after flashing another ROM(flashed Liquid ROM).
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
I don't use Xposed and Google Search on this device, but Google Search should work. Xposed I don't know.

Strange... Here everything is working well...

Did you both made a full wipe before flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Yes, Full wiped. ..but after flashing this Nexus S ROM it restarted automatically to its first boot...though I wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing rom and gapps.

I googled about the error and deleted App Data and Cache of "Phone" app and rebooted. Didn't work. but now not detecting sim either.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Check if in settings/about it shows your emei and the baseband.

Maybe you have to flash a modem or restore the imei.

Before flashing this ROM I went back to stock, to have a full clean base.
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Just checked. Baseband version unknown and lost IMEI.

I have no back up of IMEI and What do I do about baseband?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
If I remember correct, Gear Kernel makes a backup of EFS folder. With Root Explorer copy this backup in system partition, overwriting existing EFS folder.

For baseband: flash again ROM or flash a modem you can find in this forum.

Otherwise flash back to stock with Odin, then flash a kernel with cwm (with Odin), then this ROM (2 times, since the first formats partitions)
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
I did as you said. As I'd flashed CM11 so copying efs folder with root explorer worked. Now if I follow this again copying EFS folder there after flashing nexus s rom will work? I can't use Odin my usb port is screwed. or flashing nexus s rom twice will solve the modem problem?
[Captivate Android Development] dparrothead1:
Yeah, I got the same error with this ROM....3 Odin back to stock.....3 complete wipes and got the same error each time.....also with loss of emei and baseband....... Shame because I really wanted to try this ROM! Thanks again for all your work.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
On my device it worked well.

The loss of baseband and imei is probably a problem of GearKernel, which is baked in the ROM.

Try to flash rom, then directly flash NeatKernel.

Then reboot.

It should work well.
[Captivate Android Development] Bronando:
Has anyone been able to recover from the lost imei/baseband? I have a backup, put the files on the root efs folder and rebooted. It still doesn't have an imei. For some reason I cant flash modem zips either. Do i have to be on stock gingerbread? I'm back on a backup of slimkat
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Wipe cache, dalvik and data.

Flash Slimkat then reboot.

If everything is OK restore backup
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Nothing worked yet.

Is there no way to get baseband and imei on nexus rom without going back to stock gb?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Try to flash SlimKat 4.3:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1134-captivatemtd

Wipe everything, flash the rom 2 times, then reboot.

IMEI and baseband should be ok.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Since a lot of people are having problems with GearKernel baked in the rom (IMEI and baseband disappearing), i am posting now a version of the same rom with stock CM10 kernel.

You can find other 4.1.x compatible kernels in the forum, to improve performances.

Android JZO54K 4.1.2 Stock Captivate ver. B (stock CM10 kernel)

(gapps included)
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
I flashed it on another captivate phone which had Gamerz ROM and didn't have SIM card. ROM worked well got imei and baseband and then I inserted SIM card and rebooted it...the same problem again, "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped", the min I dialed a number.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Should I go back to "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe" stage and then try?

with bootloader or without?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Thank you for reporting.

I use my captivate without a SIM card, as music player mainly.

I will use some pieces from Captivate CM10 instead of original from Nexus S.

Then I will post the new Rom.

Other problems that needs to be fixed??

OFF TOPIC:

Someone tested both stock 4.1.2 and AOKP 4.2.2 I posted some time ago?

Which is smoother? And which has better audio volume+quality?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Changed rild, related libs and Phone apks (from CM10).

Please test and report if "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" problem is solved now.

Android JZO54K 4.1.2 Stock Captivate version C

(gapps included; CM10 stock kernel)
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Still the same error.

I tried AOKP 4.2.2. It doesn't show any error, no loss of baseband or imei, but doesn't detect SIM card, simply no mobile network. nexus rom and aokp both are best roms for this device...wish the sim functionality works.

Does detects SIM but rarely catches mobile network..otherwise no mobile network all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] dparrothead1:
I have tried everything......always loose sim and the only way I can get it back is to Odin back to stock.....don't believe I will try this again as I'm getting getting tired of sitting everything back up!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Monfro, Any way to get the nexus rom to work?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
I hope I will solve the phone crashing problem... But I am not sure I will succeed.
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
[MENTION=1876393]Monfro[/MENTION] any plans on some Lollipop ROMs when they become available?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
I am really disappointed with Lollipop 5.0 official release.

It is clearly in beta stage, not ready for daily use.

Speaking about Nexus 9 and 6 a lot of reviewers pointed out that sometimes these devices gets laggy: seems clear that Lollipop is to blame.

Google was not ready to release it, but they had to...

Maybe Lollipop is well optimized for Snapdragon 800/801/805 (and maybe also 400/600, since Snapdragon chipset is used by Google since Nexus 4)...

To make some comparisons I am now running on my Nexus 7 stock 4.3 ROM: it really flies also with stock kernel, and battery life is good.

KitKat release lost both in performance and battery fields compared to 4.3, but is still working well.

Lollipop is unusable.

For sure Google will work hard on Lollipop, releasing 5.1, 5.2..

Until then I suggest to stick with 4.1/4.2/4.3 or even 4.4.

Anyway I think that I will port some Lollipop roms when they will appear on I9000.

ATM seems like Humberos from Omni is working hard on the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
Glad to hear such info, as I read on I9000 CM thread, where pawitp said that he probably won't develop CM12 (or whatever it should be called) for Captivate, so it got me scared that development for cappy is over.
[Captivate Android Development] bustyouup4free:
Any chance you can give some MEGA links... these mediafire for Archidroid are so slow. Im getting 20kb/s in Germany. I have a really good ISP here. So I know its not me. I DL stuff from xda all day and this just happens to be super slow...
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
There will not be official CM12 for Galaxy S I9000 and its variants, but there will be unofficial releases, and also from other teams, like Omni.

Sorry, atm I can't upload or work on other roms for the next days.
[Captivate Android Development] firestorm942:
I agree :)
[Captivate Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
Love my note 2, but miss my Cappy. Two of the six display filters were slowly nudged and detached over time so nothing shows on the display.
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
Can someone give me a quick info on how stable is the latest port of OmniRom in this thread? And what will I lose if install it, coming from latest CM release? Is there a new theme engine in a Omni, like in CM?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Some updates:

- SlimKat 4.4.4 - 8.18 weekly 8115 - 2014.12.02

- OmniRom 4.4.4 official 2014.12.06 nightly

[Captivate Android Development] dawgdoc:
It amazes me that people are still doing this much work for this phone.
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Thanks a ton Monfro.

BTW, can I dirty flash previous build of Slimkat over the latest one without any problems and app data intact?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
I think 99% yes.

Make a nandroid backup before, to be 100% sure.
[Captivate Android Development] adelecho:
incoming call delay

Thanks for your great work!

I installed the latest CM 11 M12, but it has delay in incoming calls.

Does the SlimKat have the same problem? If yes, which rom do you recommend ?

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
I just found one problem with Latest build of SlimKat. Statusbar isn't smooth. A little bit problematic. Earlier Builds are great. CM slows down a bit overtime, after a week of use and so.
[Captivate Android Development] GTDarthYoda:
Monfro great work here

Do you think you could give SlimKat some love and update it to 9.0
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
Any news on Lollipop ports [MENTION=1876393]Monfro[/MENTION] ? I've seen there are Resurection Remix and CM12 roms in I9000 thread, and kernels are also avaliable, so I was just wondering if you have started working on it? I know its a rude question to ask, but is there possibly some ETA of new roms? Thank for all your work you have done so far, and I hope you will keep up the good work :good: :D
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
When I will have some free time SlimKat will be the first to be updated.

Unfortunately you are speaking of I9001, which is a completely different device: it has Snapdragon processor, not Exynos.

For I9000 and Captivate we have to wait more.
[Captivate Android Development] GTDarthYoda:
You're awesome thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:

[Captivate Android Development] :
[MENTION=1876393]Monfro[/MENTION] really "Last KitKat roms, then in a few days we will start with Lollipop" only have 1 ROM Omni lollipop experimental version for i9000. Can you build a lollipop from source for captivatemtd?

SlimKat 5.0 stable 4079 - 2014.05.12 with NeatKernel
[Captivate Android Development] eNemy-:
Should we flash a kernel before this (like Semaphore) or does it come with the Mackay Kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
No need to flash a different kernel.

It comes with a Semaphore Kernel for ICS (with BigMem).

I don't want to set up a building environment to build a ICS rom/kernel, since i consider that for sure 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4 are faster than 4.0 ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] eNemy-:
Thanks!

kasper_h disagrees though :)
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Uploaded latest OmniRom and ArchiDroid, both with latest NeatKernel.

[Captivate Android Development] idexample:
Hi,

I lost again my imei but not with your port, then to install another kitkat I formatted also data that I believe made a big mistake as before on a Vibrant even going back to gb didn't restore the imei, is there a simple solution please?

I founded in Vibrant development Martin Devil ics very good.
[Captivate Android Development] LaKsHaY1997:
Sup

Gapps for Slimkat?
[Captivate Android Development] idexample:
I believe Slimkat and ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Try to flash SlimKat 4.3 or another 4.3 rom.

Then flash a KK 4.4.2 rom.

If it doesn't work restore stock rom and then flash custom roms again.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Added latest Carbon and C-Rom, both with NeatKernel
[Captivate Android Development] ~wolverine~:
So once SlimKat is up and running I could flash Semaphore Kernel and everything will boot back up successfully? I don't want to screw this up. And thanks for porting this to the Captivate. I appreciate your work.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
All ROMs dated after 03/03/2014 can run:

- Semaphore 3.4.3 or newer (download from his website)

- NeatKernel 1.08+1.07+1.06 or newer.

- CM11 Captivate stock kernel (attached in post #2)

Older ROMs have to run older versions of Semaphore (3.4.2) and NeatKernel (1.05 and older) or GearKernel.

Try the kernel that suits best your needs.

EDIT:

- updated 2nd post with compatible kernels info

- uploaded Paranoid Android beta 6
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
lost imei

Try downloading Gear Kernel and flashing it 2 to 3 times in a row, then rebooting. He has an imei recovery script in his kernel that might work...

:fingers-crossed:

btw, SlimKat rocks [MENTION=1876393]Monfro[/MENTION]! Thank you so much for your efforts.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Thank You.

SlimKat is also the most downloaded of these roms, followed by Omni.

I also agree these are atm the best options available for Captivate.

Uploaded SlimKat 5.4 - 26/05/2014

Hi! Great work! I'm still using C-rom because it's more stable and fast than the others, any update?

hows archidroid for the cappy? i have been hesitant to do a personal port of it for my vibrant due to its size.
[Captivate Android Development] ~wolverine~:
Anyone else notice that after updating to SlimKat 5.4 weekly 4474 - 2014.05.26 the keyboard is ginormous?
[Captivate Android Development] eNemy-:
It's kinda late but I just got the time to flash it.

When I tried to flash it over Slimkat, I got status error. So first, I got back to stock GB via Odin then tried flashing it but no luck again.

When I boot the phone, after the kernel logo, the screen goes black and you can do nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] idexample:
Try installing Xposed module AppSetting and set the dpi of the keyboard application you use at 160 meanwhile you have another keyboard active otherwise try force stop to apply correctly the new dpi, I always set the keyboard dpi slightly less than operative system.

Other keyboard for me adapt better than the original that come in many rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
It is normal you have to flash stock first, since Android 4.1+4.2+4.3+4.4 use a completely different partition layout than ICS.

After a couple of flash (one to format partitions; restart recovery and flash rom again) it should work.

Maybe i forget to do something while porting ICS 4.0...

Anyway i have seen in the original thread that a lot of people realize that ICS is not the fastest rom available for Aries platform...

As i wrote before i think that 4.3 and 4.1 roms give the best experience on this hardware.
[Captivate Android Development] eNemy-:
I actually did flash couple of times (3 times to be exact) since I've encountered the same thing before. Still no luck.

So which ROM do you suggest that gives the best on our old Cappies.
[Captivate Android Development] ajeesh vijayan:
4.1 (cm10) have 432mb /data partition right?
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Slim 4.3 (download from their website, old roms) with a custom kernel (gear, unofficial semaphore by nick, ts cyan...)

EDIT

Also actual Slim 4.4 seems really good.

In I9000 forum people reports that some 4.4 roms have the problem of a delay in incoming calls.

Since I use my Captivate without a SIM card I don't know what is the actual situation...if the problem is not present in Slim or Omni they are a good choice too.

That is the fast chip.

On ICS final layout it is used half for system and half for datadata.

Since ICS rom doesn't work i will remove it.

Only issue is I cannot access advanced slim settings
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Thank You for confirming NeatKernel 1.09 works well with 4.4.3 roms.

Have you tried a full wipe (make a nandroid before)? Maybe it is because of some settings from 4.4.2 rom. I haven't tested SlimKat 4.4.3 yet.

[Captivate Android Development] Warrimonk:
Weird issue with PA

I just flashed the new 4.4.3 paranoid android but I am having a weird SDcard issue. The phone itself cannot see the internal SDCARD, however CWM can see it and mounting USB in CWM gives me full access to the internal SD card on the computer.

How do I get access to the internal SD card within the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
I am having the same problem with both these ROMs....does not detect my internal storage.

- Paranoid Android 4.4.3 - 4.4RC2 - 2014.06.17

- Paranoid Android 4.3 beta 6 - 2014.05.23
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Checked:

it is a problem of latest Paranoid Android (others with Galaxy S I9000 have it)

It is related to kernel.

Can You please flash these kernels and report if one of them makes the internal SD working?

- Neat Kernel 1.09

- Neat Kernel 1.08

- Semaphore 3.4.3

(check second post for links)

I port all these roms with the same method, but i don't have time to verify all of them, so every bug report is important to solve problems.

Please report all the bugs you find.

[Captivate Android Development] ethereal_mist:
Same issue with all above kernels here. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Thank you for your fast reply.

This means Paranoid Android now needs a special kernel compiled from their own sources.

Kernel based on CM11 or other KK sources don't work with it.

I will remove these roms, since they aren't working:

- Paranoid Android 4.4.3 - 4.4RC2 - 2014.06.17

- Paranoid Android 4.3 beta 6 - 2014.05.23
[Captivate Android Development] swiftlycreepin:
The version of paranoid that is posted at this moment doesnt detect the internal either. I've tried with the three kernels as well. It also seems that archidroid has some invalid values, like it still checks for galaxysmtd (i9000) when it should be captivatemtd (i897 or i896)

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

I'll see if I can find the values that need to be changed in a bit. Have to get my environment setup done.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Thank you for reporting.

"Paranoid Android 4.3 beta 3 - 2014.05.08" is the only one that i left on homepage: it works.

It is the first Paranoid Android 4.4.2 rom i ported and i personally tested it.

The 2 newer versions had problems due to the specific Paranoid kernel needed, and i removed them.

I had no time to test Archidroid, so it is possible i forget to change some references to Galaxy S I9000, expecially with Aroma installer.

Can someone report the message of error?
[Captivate Android Development] swiftlycreepin:
It doesn't even leave an error message. You get almost done with aroma installer, it tells you its going into flash mode, you press flash on the screen after that, and it runs for ten seconds,and it says its done.

Sent from my SGH-i896 running monfro's port of SuperNexus 1.2.5
[Captivate Android Development] swiftlycreepin:
I'll see if I can upload the log from the installer later, but that's it in screenshots.
