To be fair, if hans never had source, which is what it looks like considering it's just now going to git- there's only so much he could have done with it...
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
This completely
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
People are mad he renamed someone else's code, and stuck a giant "DONATE" button on the first page to scam people.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
ugh, it wasn't a scam. Eugene gave him permission to do this, though he should be crediting Eugene and Barak as well. true, he doesn't seem to be building from source, but eugene and barak never gave him that
[Captivate Android Development] jasonyump:
I agree with this completely, except for the fact of how he presented developing the Rom to everyone. He promised fixes, and a working aosp rom and gladly accepted donations. He hasn't nor is going to be doing any of the work on this Rom. He basically took donations for all of eugene and Baraks work. And tells us he's not going to continue the Rom because its too much work, when he never even had the source to do so. But as soon as Barak gets data working, he decides to keep working on it. Meaning he is going to just download their new Rom and rename it again.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Exactly. filler
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
Or I could of waited to donate like when a working final app appeared... Wait I did. Which means you guys just donated for something that never had a true guarantee. I admit the motivation may help some people... But complaining about a donate button...

If you can't make the rom, why complain? If you aren't buying a product, why do you care who you throw money at? Devs aren't strippers guys. He said hed try, not go full monty.
[Captivate Android Development] Sublim3_Tilt:
Is it possible to get a status update on the ROM build? Im mostly wondering about the bluetooth but would love a fully functional Vanilla ROM. Just checking to see whose working on it and where we stand?
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:
x2...I'm very interested in this but it looks like it's dead in the water. I'm also very interested in Eugene's Hybrid ROM, but that looks dead as well. The only person that seems to be updating is designgears with his Cognition ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] abacon15:
I'm running cognition but it would be cool if we could get the performance from it and the vanilla part of this. I would like to have just stock android, no touchwiz.
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
Last I heard from Barak and Eugene about it (2 people working on the "jane" AOSP build), they were "dropping" 2.1, and trying to work on a Froyo AOSP build. Probably better in the long run, but man am I dying for vanilla Android with working data...
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
This thread is dead now. <Lays flowers down and morns next to asop2.1's grave>

I think it was a wise decision. Why waste time on 2.1 when any day we will have 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] jwood55812:
Yeah I mean Samsung *promised* we'd have it end of September, 2 more days... We don't have an official int'l Froyo, let alone a carrier specific US version, just getting a little irritated here...
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
Now that we have an unofficial 2.2 build, any hope of resurrecting this?
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
I think the only hope is CM 6.1
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Source code is the key to developing...there is no source code for any Samsung Froyo builds/kernals anywhere yet (that I know of).

The latest rumor is mid-October for an official Froyo for Vibrant and Captivate...we'll see. http://www.talkandroid.com/16111-insider-tip-froyo-coming-to-captivate-and-vibrant-really-soon/

I am so annoyed with Samsung and how they have their stupid Galaxy Tab all setup and ready to go running 2.2. They have over a milltion Galaxy S phones in users hands running a crappy 2.1 OS with bugs. IMHO, the VP over Product Management at Samsung should have nixed any 2.2 release on any other products until SGS had its released (w/o bugs).
[Captivate Android Development] dressanderc:
Can we at least get the notification bar from this build?
[Captivate Android Development] nebneb333:
froyo

So far there aren't any AOSP and CM isn't going to work on the Captivate at all... But there is always cognition 9.1.3 which I am running and love!!! It is amazingly fast plus flash is supported... Touchwiz sucks but hey at least you can get flash, lagfix, and wireless/ usb tethering.

Just google ponack cognition download
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Why would you bump this thread in order to advertise Cog, why wouldnt you just do it there.... Im not even sure why there is a donate button on this thread...
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Because hansmrtn is a con artist.
[Captivate Android Development] nebneb333:
Exactly! And Cognition is a working ROM that is awesome, and I am not really advertising Cognition so much as pointing people towards something that doesn't suck... lol
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
are you guys still working on this rom some people would love to have this.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
It isn't happenning, this guy is a con, don't donate to him! He stole this from Eugene and then abandoned it after taking donations. The mods should delete this entire thread before he gets more money for a job he didn't do.
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
Proof? Only person I've heard say that is DG, and as awesome of a dev as he is, there have been a few threads where he puts down other roms. I'll believe it when I see CM say CM6.1 won't work, or experience a badly made rom.
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Well I guess I could as a little hobby, but I dont think it would be downloaded because its not froyo. Its 2.1. There arent hard problems to fix, except for data. SO most likely it wont come. Though I cam work on an aospish rom from DG that stopped in dev, if that would help?

Wow. Well pal, I disagree. Development ceased on this project because of people like you. See I was doing quiet a bit of work on it. But then I saw some of your peoples comments and thought they dont deserve it for being MOD EDIT. So I never released the second version, and I never will. You should feel real good for stopping this. :rolleyes:

Cheers.

DG is a great dev, but I do have to agree. CyanogenMod will come to the galaxy s devices, patience is the key.

As for all of you still concerning the donations, I am sorry it never came. Its just all the negative comments were definitely not helping.

Hansmrtn
[Captivate Android Development] tiger4j:
Codeworkx just tweeted that he had cm6 running on i9000(I'm guessing, he said sgs and he is the cm i9000 Dev.) Said still some stuff to work out but to thank gdanko.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Wow. Well pal, I disagree. Development ceased on this project because of people like you. See I was doing quiet a bit of work on it. But then I saw some of your peoples comments and thought they dont deserve it for being edit. So I never released the second version, and I never will. You should feel real good for stopping this. :rolleyes:

Cheers.

Roll your eyes, I am not your pal, you ripped people off and now you want to justify it by blaming us for being pissed that you took donations and then abandonded it. Whatever makes you feel better. Developement stopped because you didn't get all the source codes from Eugene. You used his name you took people's dontations and you didn't deliver, go back to your box, basement or wherever. Nice language that should get you banned.
[Captivate Android Development] jasonyump:
Well..i dont think u understand the problems that were in the rom cant be fixed without the original source code..and u never had the source code to begin with..therefore i hate to inform you..but you had no idea what you were doing. And you still obviously dont.

And aosp/cm6 will come as soon as someone has enough time on their hands to devote to the project or when the people currently working on it get it done. Its not impossible.
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
Where can I get the icons and lock screeN????

I love the icons, lock screen of the first post> Where oh where ccan I get it???

Thanks,

:):)
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
I don't see why everybody is getting so upset. I have no idea if hansmrtn is a con or not, but regardless the people that donate should know its a donation, not a down payment. As all the senior mods say, don't donate until the work is done. Anybody who can't follow that rule have only themselves to blame for losing their money.
[Captivate Android Development] ragingclue:
Yeah honestly there's a lot of butthurtedness and childishness going on in here. Why bump this thread for that? There are actually enough legit and active processes going on that you don't need to bump inactive/now irrelevant thread just to poop on the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Im closing this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Good, people have had enough of your lies and false promises.
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Its about time, that's what everyone has been saying to do.... 3 months and however many donations later.....
[Captivate Android Development] maniac3389:
While you're waiting for the ROM, have you tried ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro? Go grab them from the Marketplace (along with Home Switcher). I'm running the stock ROM with ADW as my default home and it is way more snappy than TouchWiz.
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Sorry for the delay guys, its still going to be released
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
I am trying to, but I cannot guarantee anything :)
[Captivate Android Development] jdsemler:
Please consider having a build that is set for or allowing the modification to this in the build.prop file:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

The default is 240 (HDPI), but 160 (MDPI) really makes MUCH better use of this beautiful 800x480 display. I've tried using it on the stock (rooted) AT&T ROM, but not all apps render in MDPI, instead rendering in HDPI, thus looking small and not filling the screen. The stock ROM seems to inhibit this change from being universal by having ro.sf.lcd_density=240 in the /system.prop file, and even editing it does no good, because somehow the system changes it back to 240 every reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
I will, I saw that thread and thought about giving it a go :D

Today! :D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
I am testing it right now, and I have to say, I am impressed on how smooth and fast it is:)
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
This is great! So is this still the .01 build or have you gotten some of the issues fixed?
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
:D Can't wait
[Captivate Android Development] Pbizkit:
Uuggghh.. And I had just decided I would check one last time to see if it was done. If it was I would flash..if not I was going to bed and you are on your last test... What do I do now?
[Captivate Android Development] denellum:
:) adding more then 10 characters
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
So you guys should note that there is no boot animation, so its going to be a black screen while booting.
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
What's fixed? Is there data/camera? Or does it still have the same issues as the one mentioned in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Sorry for the delay, I am running into some mass force closes :(
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
I don't like unleash the beast (which is what I have loaded right now) because my email wont sync. UPDATE now my email is working *shrugs*

I would say super rooter was awesome but I heard that using the ext2, or whatever its called, can hurt the lifetime of your device by constantly writing to it(granted this info was word of mouth by an apple fan boy who I am trying to convert). I also didn't like that super rooter permanently removes the AT&T bloatware because I like the "buddies now" app and even though its available to download from the super rooter link I still couldn't get it back on loading directly or with the AC-SWM.

I am a n00b/novice when it comes to linux(I do have dream linux on a laptop and ubuntu dual booted to my main pc) and Android but I am a quick learner, but I'm picky. I would like to try out the vanilla install because so far the bugs dont seem to be that bad for me (I dont care about data as long as wifi works and I dont use Bluetooth or my camera).

The froyo build made me smile. I would probably have stuck with it if the proximity sensor had worked. I either need the proximity sensor to work or the speaker to work correctly so I can make calls while I am driving or use bluetooth (although now that I think about it I never tried my bluetooth)

I havent exactly "stuck" with anything yet. I am the kind of guy that is always reformatting my computer and trying the latest beta software for my computer. I had to buy a second computer for my wife for school because of it.
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
I'm using superrooter ATM and no problems so far. As for lag fix, u can choose the one u want to use. I'm running it with ext4. As for the removed apps u can install the ones u like.

JB
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Is there any potential problem s using ext 4 over ext2
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Would you guys want the droid x multi touch keyboard packed into this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] igm503:
i wouldnt mind if it did, as long as swype was still there:D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I enjoy the built in Samsung keyboard personally- but that might be too ingrained in the framework, so the Droid X one would be a nice consolation prize :)
[Captivate Android Development] iGuitar93:
Does that droid x keyboard include swype?
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Well swype wont be there. I cannot put it in cause thats illegal. So you would have to obtain it and install it. :(

The droid x keyboard is actually pretty nice :D
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Well, let me tell you haha. I still have to test the data lol, I really wont know if it works until I get the chance. :D
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
I can assure you guys this rom is probably going to pretty stable on account of the fact that i am on the 10th test of it haha;)
[Captivate Android Development] tiger4j:
hansmrtn- saw your post in OC forum (including it in EzCaptivate) any luck on that? That would be awesome. I guess I could always do it separately as I dont suppose there would be any conflict.
[Captivate Android Development] larry996:
QUESTION:

Is the GPS usable in this new ROM? Does it "lock on"? Is the kernel from the Samsung Source or did Eugene build it from the ground up etc?

thanks!

L
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
I was just reading something about a cease and desist order about the droid X and they specifically mentioned the droid x keyboard being copy writed *shrugs*

Either way I think I am going to miss whatever is uploaded tonight as I am about to head to work for 12 hours :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
I think I might hold out on this until camera is working. I don't need data or BT now but camera I would like.

I wonder how long until .2 or the final build comes out.
[Captivate Android Development] takerfan:
Anyone happen to know the answer to this?

OP?
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
OK guys. I hate to say this, but I will not release this Tom until these three checks are hit:

Data. I have been working my ass off, but still can't find the problem

GPS. A problem

Bluetooth. A lot of people need this

So I will continue to work on these and keep you guys updated.
[Captivate Android Development] oldskooldawgz:
ya i was that guy i actually could not get my first captivate into dl mode :( and it pissed me off so much but i talked to att n got a new one(it helps that ive been a customer for almost 20 years), and have been flashing different firmware from odin perfectly fine. Im also and android noob but im trying to learn. if had this favorited since there was only one post just waiting. which im perfectly content on doing.
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
Well if he has no idea why the data isn't working I have a feeling were gonna be waiting awhile, but I too would rather wait for a stable release. And I would also like to thank the OP for how much time he has invested in this, no way I could do it.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
Definitely not even worth releasing with no BT, data, camera, or GPS. Whats the sense in even trying to load a ROM that doesnt have all that stuff working?
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
By final version are you referring to this? Cause that is different from the AOSP build Eugene (and the OP) are working on. AOSP is built from the Android Open Source Project source, so there's no TouchWiz or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] sportedwood:
Would I be able to use samset with this? Reallllly like the look
[Captivate Android Development] igm503:
it clearly states in the samset thread-"must have jm5 flashed to use this rom"

this is not jm5
[Captivate Android Development] ubufugu:
Long story short: No

Judging from the progress of porting froyo to the acer liquid (used to have one, I still follow development), It'll be months before we get a working AOSP froyo build with wifi, gps, bluetooth, data, and haptic feedback working. Maybe since the i9000 has a few beta froyo builds it'll take less time, but I wouldn't be the one to ask about that.......
[Captivate Android Development] ehmjay1:
Alright, let me go ahead and ask this before I get flamed later for being a noob (which I am).

When this comes out how do I go about flashing the rom? I have rom manager, I am rooted, and have a backup through clockwork recovery mod. Anything else I need to do to prepare? And can anyone guide me to a tutorial or give me some quick instructions of how this is gonna exactly go down?

Much thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I would download Titanium backup and backup all your apps. I recommend getting the donation version for $4 as it's saved me A LOT of time because it automates all the installs.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but..

If you upgrade your firmware/ROM or w/e..the images of what you have on your clockwork backup isn't really gonna do anything about all the apps you lost. So what I recommend is back your apps and data using Titanium Backup (that's my preference).

Once all your settings and apps are backed up you're going to need Odin3

(make sure it's the small sized program.. NOT the one click Odin3 recovery you might see around which is about 150MB).

Once you have that program.. and you have the ROM/firmware you want to flash (usually a file ending in .tar I believe) you'll use Odin3 to browse for the file..

you connect your phone and boot into recovery--eh.. I can get into more detail but I think so far this will suffice

So just boot clockwork recovery and flash the .zip file lol.. yea..editing ftw.

AGAIN if anything I wrote is wrong please someone correct me.
[Captivate Android Development] Brock Samson:
If this rom is signed wouldn't it just be a .zip file. Shouldn't we just be able to backup, wipe, rename to update.zip and flash?
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
You wont have to rename it to update.zip if your in clockwork mods recovery. It is a signed file so it could go right through
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
So its a signed zip that we could just flash through clockworks?? We still need to back up our Apps with titanium?? Will we lose data on our phone flashing this is what I'm really trying to ask?
[Captivate Android Development] bblaze1874:
This thread is out of control...22 pages and not even an initial release yet.

Everyone needs to relax, he will release when its ready...until then be patient, it will be worth it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] sl8125:
By the time for a release, OP will have to open another thread. Lol. Seriously guys let's be little patient. If he builds, it will come.

Sent from my Galaxy S
[Captivate Android Development] itsmikeramsay:
I agree....I'd rather have some of those features enabled above having a ROM that I can't use certain things.

When it is released though.... I'm definitely pushing out a few themes for this ROM. Thats the great benefit for having Vanilla Android.... so easy to theme
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
I second the mod down.

Learn some manners. I don't think the developer needs you to ask him for a status check. And if you are called out for acting noobish - deal with it.
[Captivate Android Development] lord_drachenblut:
Welcome to the world of open source development guys. Projects are often delayed because the purple making them have the ability to wait to push out something until it is in a state they are happy with unlike commercial development where they have to meet production goals. Also this is people scratching an itch on something that is important to them. This may at times lead to delays in a project but it trends to be a better project because it is personally important to the person and I empathize person in this case working on it. This is not a team of people but one person striving to bring us the clean rom we want that the manufacturer was unable to bring us because of demands of the carriers

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] darth_vato:
You know, maybe if you took off the ETA from the top of the thread that dates back to yesterday, we wouldn't have people asking for status checks or complaining. Either that or quit changing the ETA every single day because he hasn't ironed out the bugs.
[Captivate Android Development] dewt:
Pretty sure that's why it means estimated time of arrival.
[Captivate Android Development] Pbizkit:
Oh that's what eta means? I thought that was the time when you are either done or people get to start being aggressive and rude. :) he is working on it and he will be done when he is done.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
Yeah. I think I'll stop checking this thread for awhile because there's alot of impatientness going on D: ..

Another tip: Instead of watching Lord of the Rings as the trilogy to waste time, you may watch Back to The Future!

Cause Doc' has a vanilla dolorian going 88 miles per hour ;)
[Captivate Android Development] leetpriest:
I suggest we all step back and give hansmrtn some room. An ETA is an estimate, nothing more. If you're looking for a hard date, someone to ***** out, or timetable demand, i suggest you guys call at&t and conference samsung in, both of which you've directly employed to provide this service to you.

Hansmrtn isn't your employee nor are you his customer. Some patience should be applied when you address Hansmrtn because he's providing a service without demanding a payment.

If you chose to donate prior to a release you did so without the concrete promise of a timetable.

Show some respect to him.
[Captivate Android Development] mostyle:
Perfectly stated..

I want Vanilla as much as anyone but last I checked, ETA or not, the developer is doing this of his own accord, time, and effort.

Chill out, drink a could one, flirt with the lady..

It'll happen when it happens..
[Captivate Android Development] itsmikeramsay:
I 2nd that. We're lucky he's even doin what he's doing. He could just release it now and tell us to fix the problems, but he's taking the time to do it.... It'll come out when it comes out.... til then complainin about it won't make him move faster....
[Captivate Android Development] perium:
You cant deny that their would be a advantage if he was to release it with bugs. It would allow everyone else to help contribute to the ROM, rather then all of us just waiting for one dev to fix it by himself.
