[Captivate Android Development] IllegalOpcode:
Well that would explain why we did not see a GPS fix. Froyo at last. I have been missing it moving from the nexus one to the captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
oooo!!! can't wait to try it... dling now.

Thanks!!!
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
cant wait for the download to finish!!! but more worried about root/lagfix if needed..
[Captivate Android Development] Phlip00ws6:
Holy Sh*t....
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
:D That is what my face has looked like since i opened this thread.

Thank you DG and thank you anonymous source
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
How do you install this? Is it 100% working. I'm not seeing this on samfirmware.com
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
Downloading!
[Captivate Android Development] foom:
Thanks, downloading it now. I can hardly wait. :D
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
What kernal is needed or is it included on download? Do I upstream zip this or clockwork
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
its an odin one click downloader file i believe
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
samfirmware.com wont have this until he hijacks it from this thread..
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
So how long before this is patched into a cog rom
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Hmm I didn't disable lagfix before flashing froyo and nothing went wrong for me XD
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
You don't have to go in Download Mode to do a MasterClear. Just mount the phone in debugging mode
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Now finally we can pimp some cyanogen...or even some foryo Eugene stylez
[Captivate Android Development] a3plew:
You don't master clear from download mode.you just connect it normally to the computer
[Captivate Android Development] dowenprs:
All I can get into is download mode now, i get the phone-->computer screen. One click doesn't seem to be doing anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
And do a market search for app2sd . We can move some apps to the sd card. The app has to support it so not all apps can be moved. Open up app2sd and it shows you.

Also has its own task manager built in ;)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yes because the voodoo kernel you had was replaced by the stock 2.2 kernel and the ext4 partition was repartitioned back torfs by odin :P
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Then I suppose it's not necessary for people to revert to stock JH6 before flashing froyo then? ( nor disabling lagfix )
[Captivate Android Development] dowenprs:
I think i'm good now, i am going back to jh7 through regular odin, 1 click didn't seem to be working for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Rob_Wing:
How long should this sit on file analysis? It seems to just be sitting there and all the boxes in ODIN are empty but it let press start anyway.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] domin8:
cant wait to get sideloading again i miss my apps lol
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Sweet....Mobile AP is there.....:D
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Can you restore a backup in Rom manager without root?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Review

First Impression

Definitely a little laggy

Menu icons are now in color

GPS Locks incredibly fast in my house

Media hub works

Flash 10.1 in market - installed and tested - works fantastic!
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
I figure you can just use one click back to jf6 or jh7 then install ROM Manager that way.

I guess I'll wait a few days to see how you guinea pigs do :-P
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
How to flash froyo ~? read below :3

1. Make sure your micro usb cable is connected to your pc, but NOT to your phone.

2. Run the .exe file ( odin program )

3. Turn off your phone.

4. While the phone is off, press both of the volume keys.

5. While pressing both of the volume keys, plug the micro usb cable to your phone.

Odin will recognize your phone... and your phone will be in dl mode.

Then, press start

Taa-daa.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
ha why didn't i think of that.
[Captivate Android Development] jhego:
Damn ATT, why do you have to block apk install?!?!? I miss tweetdeck and trillian :(
[Captivate Android Development] benjer712:
You can use appbrain to make a list of all the apps and then push them to your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] joey_xda:
Can anyone confirm Voice, Data and hsdpa works ?
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
The one-click root and the "manual flash the update.zip" root do not work. It attempts to flash in recovery, but a signature error is encountered. Definitely need a 2.2 root.....I was so used to my Captivate rooted, bloatware removed, and lag-fix installed lol.
[Captivate Android Development] ALDEJESUS:
Media Hub is now Working
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
how do we root this
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
I can confirm, they all work.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
There is no possible way to root as of now.
[Captivate Android Development] eugene373:
You have to dd the current froyo zImage from the Build.. Put that into a ODIN Ready .tar, Now you take the Original 2.1 kernel & flash it via ODIN.

Now, the trick in this, you can't dd with out root.. Once you get root, but if you had root you would do the following.

Once it boots into recovery processed on Rooting, once you have ran your Root method you will need to boot back into download mode & flash the original 2.2 zimage..

or you can have somebody so a system pull + zImage... Take the zImage & system and replace everything in my update.zip.... only thing to keep is the recovery file from /system/bin & the xbin folder & you should be golden..
[Captivate Android Development] joey_xda:
How is Flash ? Smooth ?
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Huh. My PC reads it as a Samsung GT I9000. Maybe it did before too I didn't notice.

Also that boot animation is friggin sweet.
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
This also means no Titanium Backup or ROM manager :(

Hopefully by morning? :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
Thanks

Looks pretty straight forward,

I'm running Cog 2.1.5, do i need to disable lag-fix before runnin thru your instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] foom:
It should be less then a few seconds. Probably try again.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
mine reads it as an i897
[Captivate Android Development] cj28sc:
im new at this

i downloaded this, but have no clue how to get it on my phone, any help would be great
[Captivate Android Development] m_1000rr6:
I got 14.047 in 5.97 secs. Almost double that of 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] jhego:
Problem for Slingplayer users like me, I couldn't find it anywhere on the market, i searched on google and found this.
[Captivate Android Development] Bjd223:
Might as well just to be safe. But you prolly don't have to.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Quadrant scores 980

doesn't appear to have HSUPA. UL the same as Cog 2.1.5
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
read the posts just before yours....there are 2 that explain HOW TO DO THIS
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
LBS Menu (through launcher pro activities shortcut)

Satellite DB's are not all over the place

Settings seem to be the same as stock phone

After doing some tests - am getting location in 2 seconds with 9 satellites
[Captivate Android Development] darron2k3:
Remove sd card before you go into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] JPS81:
:( Incredible still destroys that score.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
why? i never have...
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
No. I was also running cog 2.1.5 and I did not need to disable lagfix before flashing froyo.

But well, just to be safe... i guess you should. I did not run into any problems, though.
[Captivate Android Development] eugene373:
Samsung Kernel are not neon optimized like htc :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] Ph8:
Has anyone tried the Wonder Machine? This should still allow you to load apks without root. If not I may hold off as the Wonder Machine is too good to give up since you dont need r00t to use it ;)
[Captivate Android Development] m_1000rr6:
I tried flashing froyo on top of Cog 2.1.4 w/ lagfix enabled and it ran into some errors.

I flashed back down to JF6, flashed froyo thereafter, and all was well.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Linpack gives a huge advantage to Snapdragon based phones.
[Captivate Android Development] masterotaku:
Linpack, for all the real world use it is as a benchmark (i.e. not very much), is going to run faster on a core with a 128bit wide SIMD unit, something the Incredible has, and something we do not (ours is a 64bit wide SIMD).
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Is anyone else's phone REALLY slow and laggy?
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
There have been a few posts saying the Wonder Machine does work. The Wonder Machine uses Debug Mode to load APKs... AT&T would have to disable Debug Mode for the Wonder Machine to break...
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Wonder Machine worked great for me
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
just dl'ed and flashed...

I was runnign JH7... master cleared.. then odin 1-clicked to jf6

then odin 1-clicked to 2.2

seems snappy to me

edit: initial bootup and first media scan are slow... but reboot once.. and you will notice a difference
[Captivate Android Development] foom:
Same here.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Noticeably slower and somewhat laggy, yes...
[Captivate Android Development] BUS DR1V3R:
All is well, but a lot of my apps are blocked in the Market now... oh well
[Captivate Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
Wow, I missed Froyo. This is so sweet. Phone runs great. New keyboard and UI enhancements are wonderful.
[Captivate Android Development] m_1000rr6:
And so does the N1.

Is JIT enabled by default? Or is there anything that needs to be done to enable it?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Even bootup? The "S" comes in after the sound and is all broken up..

I'm coming from stock JH7 phone
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
1. Don't know.

2. Don't know.

3. Yes.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Sweet this might be my first thing I am going to do to this phone. :)

I am very new to this OS and I am use to loading new firmware on MS phones.

I just got Kies to work. I am downloading this program right now. Can I use Kies to update this phone?

Do I need to root this phone and use odin to upload the new firmware? I have not rooted my phone yet.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Ok maybe it was just something lagging in the setup. it seems better now.

Also, does anyone else have to swipe really really far to unlock the screen? If I swipe up i have to go all the way to the top...
[Captivate Android Development] howsleyd:
Backup apps

You can kind of backup your apps on appbrain by going to appbrain.com on your PC and clicking the My Apps link at the top. Then just select all the apps and make a new list called Backup (or whatever). After installing froyo, go back to appbrain on your PC and copy the list back over to the Apps on my phone list and then reinstall them all.

It's no where near as good as using Titanium Backup but at least it's easier than looking all of the apps up one by one. Also, you will lose all data and progress in your games and other apps but once we get root, you can always restore all of that.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
... No you don't use kies to flash froyo.

... & No, you don't need to root this phone to use odin.

When you download the .exe file OP posted up, here are the directions to flash froyo...
[Captivate Android Development] pricej636:
Yes, seems you have to swipe a little higher.

All I can say is this is nice. Much faster in stock form.
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
wow! awsome
[Captivate Android Development] ghost77:
So how much RAM do we have now ? full 512 ?
[Captivate Android Development] Dmoney5150:
Thank you designgears for giving us this to chew on... :)

btw i was reading and someone asked about root and the reply was 'it cant be done' i think what you mean is we 'we haven't figured it out yet' its going to take time but this is a good start and i am gald we have people like designgears who could of easily horded this for himself but gave it to us to play with..
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
Nope, 311MB Total RAM is what I got in Quandrant
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Are you referring to me? when I said " there is no possible way as of now "
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Thanks so much. That is nice and easy. A lot easier then a MS phone. I am loving this phone more and more every day. At least I do not have a lot to backup at this point. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Nope....:( ATK reports 126mbs free after a kill.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Weird. I thought we were able to use 512mb ram w/ froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] zaures:
Hell yeah for Task Manager!
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:
Downloading now!!! If this goes well I'll donate money in the morning to you (designgears). Have an imported 6 pack on me tomorrow nght!
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
:) Let me know if it works for you.
[Captivate Android Development] realawill:
And I just updated to Cog 2.16. Oh well, I am more than excited.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Froyo is great... but without root and lagfix it makes me * sad face * XD
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Linpack: 14.111 mflops in 5.9 seconds

Quadrant: 960

This is going to be so Fing sweet when DG gets us a custom rom to use. I can not wait.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
This thread is making my head hurt. Haha. 27 pages already is insane.

G'luck to all y'all flashing froyo tonight! I'm going to abandon the boards for now and see how things are going tomorrow with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Jreitnauer7:
Can anyone see Slingbox in the market??? It's not showing up for me and I purchased it. App Brain also won't let me install it.
[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
I am already running rooted JPH (i9000 froyo). I guess I'll give this a shot, should fix my rotation, headphone audio issue.

Thanks DG. I'll buy you a beer one of these days.
[Captivate Android Development] darron2k3:
Thanks DB:D
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Strangely enough, paypal app doesn't show up for me in the market.

@_@
[Captivate Android Development] ipxnsv:
I hope you dont buy him a BEAR.
[Captivate Android Development] Jreitnauer7:
Either does Slingbox! :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] ubufugu:
From my perspective, though I may be completely wrong on this, the only hurdle in rooting this phone is signature verification on the zip file. How hard would it be to determine the proper signature for verification?

My second thought is this: If the file structure hasn't changed, and the verification method for odin is still the same, how hard would it be to create a flashable tar file for odin with the proper files for root(if possible)? I'm assuming this may involve injecting files into the system rfs image, which we don't have access to yet, and I'm not even sure that's possible.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
GPS performance appears awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
From Sling Media…

Sling Media has no control over this situation … it's because of the secure way that the Android Market sells SlingPlayer Mobile for Android.

Once Android 2.2 is officially released, you can see and buy SlingPlayer Mobile normally with your Android version 2.2 phone. Until that time, if you need SlingPlayer Mobile for Android right away, there is no workaround other than reverting your phone to an official version of Android."
[Captivate Android Development] N8ter:
Eww, Trillian :<

But yea, I had an Aria from AT&T (speedly little phone, I liked it), but the blocked APK installs were a showstopper because apps like Whatsapp beta, among others, can't get installed on them unless you hack the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate0n3:
We were suppose to be able to access all 512mb ram. Kind of wonder why we can not with this. Still debating whether to flash or not with many saying this is slow and slightly laggy.
[Captivate Android Development] spook:
Just wanted to pop in and say thank you to DG and the anonymous source. This is great! I'm gonna make the jump when this has been rooted and de-bloated. I look forward to more testing results for those who have already taken the plunge
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
I would want someone to buy me a BEAR... TEDDY BEAR :D
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Hmm I already flashed but...

Iono, kinda wished I didn't and stayed with cog 2.1.5 for now. Meh, I should've waited for root & lagfix before flashing lol.
[Captivate Android Development] pricej636:
Cant find google voice either.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Oh google voice is there. You gotta scroll down a little.

Search for ' google voice ' I found it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] itsmikeramsay:
Can anyone provide a system dump of it, or zipped/packaged file please? I'm waiting on another Captivate, can't do this right now, and I'd like to see what's in it....maybe work root in....
[Captivate Android Development] Rob_Wing:
I cannot for the life of me get this thing to go past file analysis. It's been sitting on it for 20 min this last time and isn't doing anything. I've restarted ODIN, my phone, my laptop. Any other suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] jhego:
Wow, major lag, we need a lagfix pronto!
[Captivate Android Development] pricej636:
I'm either blind or me rebooting did something. All of a sudden after i rebooted it was there.
[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
If someone can figure out how to extract the 2.2 kernel from the odin package. re-package it in odin flashable tar, we could try what was done with JPH. Flash a 2.1 kernel with 2e recovery, root, then flash back the 2.2 kernel. The 3.0 recovery that only likes properly signed update.zip is going to be an annoyance.
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
This thread is growing very quickly.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
You were... blind :3 LOL
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
I'm going to restore my backup of JH7 because I need that root...lol. But if this is ROM is any indication to Samsung's efforts...then I feel optimistic. GPS performance is A LOT better (so far anyway).

From what I can see:

Firmware Version: 2.2

Baseband version: I897UCJI6

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9, jetaek.lee@sep-11 #1

Build number: FROYO.UCJI6

Some noticeable changes:

Vibration when the phone is fully powered off

Quandrant is only listing 311MB of Total RAM...where the remaining 201MB are is a mystery

Color icons in the settings menu

Pinch to overview of the homescreens (similar to HTC sense)

Adobe Flash 10.1 is preinstalled and works in the stock Android browser (tested using the desktop version of youtube.com)

Android App2SD

New Welcome to Android/Samsung setup wizard during first boot

Recent applications now includes a shortcut to the Task Manager

Mobile AP is enabled!

You can easily enable/disable data usage by using the menu that pops up when long pressing the power button

Quandrant Score: 977

2 new live wallpapers, Spectrum & Beach

Quickoffice is preinstalled

GPS works "better" (crosses fingers), the signal readings are much more stable and quite a bit higher across the board

Stock Android keyboard is gone, Samsung and Swype keyboards remain, the Samsung keyboard has some UI enhancements (such as the number keys being visible when the letters are)

[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Course'. Everyone is going ZOMG FROYO!?!?!??!??!?!??!?! * screams in excitement like a girl *

:)
[Captivate Android Development] CLShortFuse:
bah, this didn't work for me. i thought it was me doing something wrong but odin JF6 flashed fine. does anybody have the md5 or crc32 for this file?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Also - the battery indicator has a lot more intervals for battery life! YAY :P
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:
Is there a way to extract the Captivate 2.2 kernel from this package so that we can use it with some of the I9000 Froyo ROM's?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate0n3:
lol Yea well I did it too but it was more in a manly voice lol haha

Waiting on phone to charge before going for it.
[Captivate Android Development] ageros:
By any chance is the 2g/3g switch in this build? Doubt it, but worth asking.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Finally a real Froyo leak for the Captivate. I will be attempting flashing this tomorrow. Hopefully someone will have a root for it soon. Thanks Designgears you deserve lots of beer. I am a girl so I screamed like one when I saw this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
nook is now part of our bloatware? thats....interesting.....
[Captivate Android Development] CLShortFuse:
I just realized my download stopped at 200mb. Can somebody make a bittorent of this?
[Captivate Android Development] jmollabi:
which apps can i use for apps2sd..is it only for downloaded market apps?
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Well so far the only advantages this has over Cognition is Flash and a seemingly working GPS. Cog is way faster. If you haven't flashed yet I recommend waiting for root.
[Captivate Android Development] sarsourus:
still no data or voice here guys? did i miss something?
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Long press power and see if the data option says activated.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
I second this ~
[Captivate Android Development] pricej636:
There are a few mirrors that have been linked in this thread.

Anyone notice the blue slider when trying to edit text already typed? Very cool... always had trouble putting the cursor where I needed it on 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] shadow65781:
wow

Just just put the day down, sit and turn on laptop, open xda and christmas came early
[Captivate Android Development] pricej636:
I think y'alls expectations are too high ;) Froyo alone has made this phone tolerable in STOCK form. I might not get rid of this phone afterall :)
[Captivate Android Development] foom:
Totally agree. Its a matter of time and it can be hack'd.
[Captivate Android Development] sarsourus:
it is activated.... problem is also when i take my sim out it doesnt ask for sim, just the crossed out zero in the notification bar... any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] ALDEJESUS:
Sideload Wonder Machine is WORKING
[Captivate Android Development] John_Q:
Thanks for the advice I was on the fence about doing it.
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:
Getting an error, it takes me into recovery mode after Odin says it's finished and says this in red:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(Invalid argument)

E:copy_data_default_apk:Can't mount DBDATA:

your storage is not prepared yet. please use UI me nu for format and reboot actions.

Tried flashing directly from Cognition 2.1.1
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Well I wouldn't says its "stock". The only people who are going to be flashing this also have access to Cog...
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Is it worse then the current offical OS that we have now? I have only been on the att firmware so far.
[Captivate Android Development] jhego:
You guys ever tried voice dialing from bluetooth yet? I can't get it to work :(
[Captivate Android Development] Colton5419:
VooDoo must be disabled prior to flashing I believe, I had a similar problem with ClockWork Recovery
[Captivate Android Development] gordec:
Rooting is not a big deal. Sideload through Droid Explorer works without loot :)
[Captivate Android Development] charmartist:
No its not worse, clearly the quadrant scores are higher than stock 2.1
