The rom for me worked absolutly perfectly! damn this is good stuff. Just fyi though I was full JPH, then JPK and since those versions I had a problem restoring missing apps from titanium, system would FC and then restart back up again. I had to do this 3 times to to get all my apps restore (No I didn't restore system just missng apps/data). It can't be what this rom is because I had this problem since JPH.

Just figured id mention in in case anyone else runs into it.

Anyway to get swype with microphone from ji6 to work?

http://db.tt/qNSd54c
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
Sweet! Finally got this rom flashed/installed and works beautifully. Restoring apps now. Thx!
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
Flashed this with the new 2e recovery JI6 kernal and works great.
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Ran into an issue...not sure if it's ROM related, but have a feeling it is. My phone won't pick up ATT 3G at my house now. All I get is GPRS. Get 3G fine at work, but not at home. Going to give it today, but if I get home tonight and still no 3g, going to restore to stock and see if it's this ROM causing the loss in 3G/EDGE out here. I turned on Data Roaming in case it was something like that, but no go.

Anyone ideas/suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Possibly lost 850 GSM ???

Not sure how to see that though
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Good idea. At work now and have 3g back. Think theres a website that shows towers and what spectrum they run on.
[Captivate Android Development] Gig11gs:
I have read the full thread and this ROM looking good i'm about to go out and buy this phone for my mum.

and i really love this ROM just one issue though i don't see any one have talked about Arabic support and right to left writing/reading. :S

i know that all the galaxy S that are sold here fully support Arabic.... any chance we can move the arabic fonts and csc files from the stock 2.1 arabic support ROM to this froyo ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
I'm having problems with apps installing from the Market. They download ok but I have to hit cancel and try 4 or 5 times before the app will install.

Anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I've seen similar instances. I think it has something to do with the Froyo automatic updating.

Chrome To Phone still gets FC's. It kind of works, but I get FC's after receiving the link.
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
So I'm pretty sure that this ROM is not picking up the 850 for me...I have no 100% way to check this as there's not a good site out there that shows what frequency the towers are running on.

This is disappointing....any way of resolving this that anyone knows of?
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Hmm my 3g has been working fine. We have captivate modem and kernel so there should be no issues. I will try to find a way to track 850.
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Think I found a resolution. There's a menu where you can enable bands. 850 was disabled. Won't know until I get home, but this is what I followed:

1. on the key pad, type *#*#197328640#*#*

2. Select [1] Debug Screen

3. Select [8] Phone control

4. Select [7] Network control

5. Select [2] band selection

6. Select [2] WCDMA band []

7. Select [6] WCDMA 850

Now at this point it won't let you enable this. You get a funky message about doesn't exist, but if you go into [4] Combi Bands from Band Selection and select the 850s there, it enables it for everywhere.

Will test this evening and confirm...crossing my fingers!
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Under Wireless and Network/ Mobile networks/ Network mode

it shows GSM/WCDMA as the auto mode for me.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
On step 5 I get "Rat selection option is restricted". Not sure why it wont let me past that and yours will.
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Mine shows the same, but that doesn't apply to the different bands it uses.
[Captivate Android Development] Vae Hostilis:
Sorry to interrupt the troubleshooting a bit, but I wanted to thank Shep for the ROM. I've been outta the Android community for almost a year now since I sold my G1 and moved to AT&T, but got a Captivate and this ROM has made me wanna stay again, thank you!

Although, I'm not complaining, but if all the roms need to be installed like this, it is WAY different than the G1 days...
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I( have the same restriction
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
not all roms need to be installed like this. there are easier ways with other roms.

honestly? i prefer this method as it will scare off anyone that is hesitant. please keep it complex so that people that shouldnt be doing this wont interrupt the development process and turn this into a Cog thread.

Shep, if there is anything you need, let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
After running for 12 hours my phone runs as fast as it ever has. No fc's. It would be great if you could make this a little more of a vanilla android rom. Especially messaging. I hate touchwiz messaging app. Great work. Keep it up!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Hi Vae,

I had a G1 pre order myself and remember how easy it was doing the ROMs. I think there is a two fold issue here with the Captivate (and all Galaxy S phones).

1) (and I mean no offense to any developer) We don't have the devs working on captivate that we had on the G1. We easily had 20 devs working together pumping out new stuff and new ways of working on things. Those guys were breaking into code and cooking their butts off with Android 1.1.

2) (and this is the biggest problem) Samsung hasn't released the source code on many of its software pieces yet. Until you get source, you're just piece-mealing things together.

To shep...this is a great ROM. Back in the G1 and even the Moto Droid days, you had two things you had to update EVER...the ROM and the Radio. The ROM came with everything you needed in one update.zip. The Radio would be an alternate update.zip you had to load (and rarely had to load as the radio was phone specific and not many different ones). You could jump from one rom to another (being of multiple versions of android) and all you ever had to do was do a data wipe if the data migration caused problems. Now a days, there's all this Odins stuff we have to do and it's about 5x harder than it used to be.

I look forward to the days when we can get back to there. With the way Samsung has built the device, I'm not convinced we even can at this point, but I'm hoping.
[Captivate Android Development] iphonekillers:
HSPUA would be nice, and thanks twice....
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
We probably wont see a lot of development until we see an official 2.2 with source code. It seems the big name devs want to only work on 2.2 stuff and Samsung is being extremely slow about it all.

Agreed. We are really just doing what we can with what we have to work with. Until we see some official 2.2 source, it will likely lie stagnant.

At least its not the G2 :)

we have easy method to root, and i would consider ODIN to be pretty easy to deal with. I actually like having the control that we do with ODIN and being able to swap out individual pieces for everything.
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
When I looked at this thread over the weekend I saw 35 steps and decided it wasn't worth trying. But yesterday I managed to do everything start to finish in about 15 minutes without any issues. The lag that I noticed in JI6 isn't nearly as bad with this setup and so far everything is working fine.

Out of curiosity, now that the JI6kernel2e is available, would you be able to consolidate a lot of the steps 16-30? It looks to me like you have us flash the 2.1 Captivate kernel so that we can use recovery to apply the update.zip and then flash back to a 2.2 kernel, but I'm kind of new to all of this so maybe there's something else to it as well.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I think we'll need the source code to be able to get HSUPA working...an I9000 Froyo source.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Most roms are as easy as step 1 to 8 but since this is a I9000 rom and we dont have working recovery after flashing jpk is takes a little more work.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
It takes longer if you try to edit the steps and use JI6kernel2e kernel with recovery. I tried it and it took about 5 mins longer since you have to boot the phone a few times. Why we have such a long install process is because stock jpk does not run on are phones. It will fc and crash over and over. The steps I use are there to avoid booting a phone that wont work. I know it sucks but its the fastest way.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
I agree. I don't find the ROM loading process to be a hard one. If you just follow the laid out plans that are right in front of us you will be fine. I honestly don't know how anyone can find this difficult.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
LOL. have you read some of the cognition thread?? some people dont comprehend simple english, let alone ODIN!
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Yes, I purposely stay away from Cog because of that thread now. If DG wants to start a new thread then I might jump back in.
[Captivate Android Development] manuelzkv:
I hate the touchwiz messaging app too, I would prefer the simpler android vanilla messaging app. On the contrary, I really like the music samsung app (but it seems that it was removed in this setup) and many things of touchwiz, except the launcher.

Wouldn't be better to take as base the JI6 ROM and then replace parts of it with their JPK equivalents??? I mention this because the last time that I installed a I9000 ROM the soft buttons didn't give haptic feedback nor the headphones controls worked. Anyway, why don't you edit the factoryfs.rfs in place and include the appropriate zImage in the same tar? That would save a lot of time when installing this setup.
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
So I think I know why I couldn't get 3G at home and just realized that phone calls weren't working but I was getting HSPUA+ speeds so I'm guessing I still had the I9000 modem going. I just reflashed the I897 modem and I get the same error now and my HSPUA+ upload speeds are gone....I'll keep my phone calls for now :)

I expect 3G to work fine too when I get out there.

I really hope we can find a modem that works outside of the Captivates....looks like ATT locked this thing down tight.

EDIT: We might be able to open this thing up to work on T-mo if we can get that menu opened up. There's options for the TMO bands as well.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
I hate captivate roms. If I could I would run full JPK. I am working on learning how to make odin flashable files but you still have to flash 3 kernels due to stock jpk not working with ji6 kernel. Once we have fully working kernel I will release with easy install method.
[Captivate Android Development] manuelzkv:
I was talking about putting everything in the I9000XXJPK-REV03-PDA-low-CL584433 tar file. Inside there is a factoryfs.rfs file which contains the system partition, you can edit it and make the changes included in your update.zip. In the same tar there is a zImage that you can replace with the JI6 zImage. So everything could be flashed at the same time, without needing to use an update.zip nor flashing kernels several times. This would require some work and testing though, but would be very handy.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
very nice :)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i have Thursday and Friday off this week....would be willing to help be a guinea pig or assist in development
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
I will give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Have you talked to Designgears about how he made his 1-click Oden file for Cognition?
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Shep, have you uploaded the updated Loaded ROM to my server yet? I just downloaded and flashed it and can ftp it up now if needed.

Or, this point may be mute if you are cooking up another ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I'm Wondering why my internal 2gbs show 1.5gb used.

I have a moderate number of apps installed.

Does this sound consistent with others?
[Captivate Android Development] manuelzkv:
Ahhh, I didn't know that the JPK ROM don't work with the JI6 kernel, I was guessing that it worked since I9000 eclair ROMs worked fine with I897 kernels. So your update.zip patch the ROM to have it working, right?

Nice!
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
So I open factory.rfs with magic iso and see only

AUTORUN.exe

AUTORUN.INF

SWD-V300_WiMAX_Setup.exe

I will try with Ubuntu using command line.
[Captivate Android Development] manuelzkv:
WiMAX?? How did you open it? You need to mount it in a linux machine as root:

mount -o loop,rw factoryfs.rfs <mount point>
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Thats what I am am trying now. Thanx for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Shep.

Latest Loaded ROM posted at my site.

http://www.esullivan.us/xda/shep211/JPK-JI6/Loaded/update.zip
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Once I am done editing it do I need to do anything before copying it back?
[Captivate Android Development] varunkumars:
How is the GPS ?? Is it perfect like in iphone ???
[Captivate Android Development] manuelzkv:
It's better that you copy the things that you want to edit to a folder in your home and once you finished add/overwrite them to the factoryfs.rfs filesystem. This is because the factoryfs.rfs filesystem has limited space, so if you add too many things in place the files can get corrupted. Once you have finished with the changes to the filesystem simply unmount it and the changes should be saved. You can check that, mounting again the filesystem an looking for your changes.

Then you can pack the modified factoryfs.rfs and the zImage in a tar file and try to flash to a phone. Probably won't work if it contains an update.zip because it still needs signatures, but it should be possible to sign the packages with testing keys.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
yep. this 2.2 miraculously fixed what all other roms/renditions/versions/setups couldnt

LOL@iphone being perfect.....
[Captivate Android Development] hankito:
You know what's weird is, when I was running strait jpk with a ji6 kernel (Yea you know the setup that would randomly or seeminly randomly force close on ya) I had the 4 bars and "H" on my phone. Now I assumed that was HSPA (both directions) so not sure on that. Of course I'm very thankful that I've got an extremely stable phone on froyo thats more open than stock.

On a diff note, to think, I was an iphone fan boy about 2 months ago, hahahahaha
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Love the rom, probably best I've used when it comes to having the features and usability I expect out of a modern smartphone.
[Captivate Android Development] xuzer:
I finally figure out why the stock music/video player crash when playing a file. Was going to release my own rom but no point. So anyways it seems to be missing 2 lib files (libplayready.so & libplayready_jni.so). You can extract this from the stock ji6 /system/lib folder and place them in your /system/lib. I"m running ji6 framework with doc's jpk full rom but this should fix shep's rom also.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Well, Shep, I must be part of a very small minority that uses bluetooth headsets cause I've read every post in this thread and not one person has mentioned it but me. So, that pretty much means you have satisfied a lot of folks.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
My 3GS GPS did quite well. In fact, I really liked the iPhone, except for a few areas. But, Steve Jobs is insane, stubborn, and egotistical...then he lets that POS, iPhone 4, out and that really did it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] wolfester:
Love the rom, shep. I've been wanting to put a working i9000 froyo rom on my cappy for a while now.

I just wish I knew how to make my own rom or at least tweak yours, I want to change a few things about it (minor OCD stuff) but for the most part it's amazing.

Again, <3 the work.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Yep, I can't stand someone who tells his customers what they want or need. I am sorry if I want something and you wont produce it then I am not going to buy it or support you. I can't wait for the iphone craze to pass and jobs is on his ass again.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i had a 3g and a 3gs....i hated them both and i found the gps to be pretty spotty. it was ok, but i really havent had any problems with the gps on my cappy

as for your bluetooth comment. i use a blueant about 10 minutes a day and it doesnt work for me either. i can do without it so it doesnt bother me much.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
LOL...I agree. He had such an opportunity with the iPhone and he screwed it up cause he's a control freak. I'm not a fanboy type...I try things out and judge them based on what I need and expect. Despite it taking Samsung forever to release Froyo and the GPS problem (tracking is just horrible; locking is not a problem for me most of the time) I love my Cappy - it's sexy, sleek, great screen and I'm really liking the Android experience. All really want it BT voice commands; it would be nice to be able to retire my Garmin if they could get the GPS working.
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
I have installed the newly released I9000 ROM (JP6) today. I coupled it with the JI6 kernel e2 and I have yet to see any FC. Calls, data, root everything work on this ROM. I wasnt able to make calls on the previous I9000 Froyo ROMS. Not sure what is different in this release. Maybe one of the gurus here :D can see what is different about it.

Edit: Just Camera is saying Failed. Everything else works just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] cybiker123:
JPM-JP6

Will this install method work with JPM or JP6 simply replacing the pda file with the JPM or JP6 PDA file?
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
Not sure if it will unless they are deodexed
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
gps problem

I cant seem to get the gps locked on to me using navigation and google maps is there anything i can to to fix it i really like this new rom and dont really want to go back to 2.1
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Thanx for the update. I will fix this in the stock rom.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
I will be updating the rom tonight with the official I9000XXJPM 2.2 rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
perfect timing. i want to rip into the source tonight...hopefully gaming wont keep me away from it...
[Captivate Android Development] PowerPC:
Finally, I jump the gun and flash this combo last night. It's amazing how smooth it is. The only issue i have is bluetooth. It connects to my car but the quality is aweful. I know it's been an issue in the past. Is it also a known issue in this combination?
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yes, it is, and that's too bad cause it's the one thing keeping from using this combo. Voice commands work, but sound quality is poor.
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
looking forward to it
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
I have about 60 to 80 apps, available space states 1.48GB for internal phone storage
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
Where is everybody at? This rom flies. If you are having doubts about it don't. Looking forward to the update tonight. Something to do tonight after work.

Unrelated but does anyone know of a app that backups your sms on a schedule everyday? Keep forgetting to backup sms before I flash a rom.
[Captivate Android Development] tnayrbj:
Question

Shep you are making a big change tonight correct? so I should wait and download it and start there correct?.

I am running the stock 2.2 from designgears, should I start at step one or should I go back to 2.1 and then start.

Sorry for the newbe questions, trying to learn.

Thanks

Jon

and yes I have used ODIN and ADB and loaded a few Roms and done a master clear for all the people who are about to blast me.
[Captivate Android Development] draxionangel:
shep, you are my hero. :D Great work on the ROM's and looking forward to future updates.

Also, do you zipalign all the stuff, or just deodex it?
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Haha now that we got JPK down and working, we'll have to see how JPM and JP6 perform eh?
[Captivate Android Development] draxionangel:
I know that WaveSecure can backup SMS + other stuff daily, but it costs $20/year. Lookout also does data backup such as SMS, etc. Those are just the 2 I can think of off the top of my head.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i use SMS backup+ it backs up all SMS to my GMail account
[Captivate Android Development] Landulf:
I see it says no touchwiz, does that mean the touchwiz launcher process is no longer installed in it?
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Yup

Captivate

First let me just say thank you for this Rom and taking the time to share it with us.

After using the Rom i noticed it shuts down randomly in a strange way it vibrates then the phone turns off but not fully because when it boots back it goes directly to the home screen and that happens every time i use the phone i tried re flashing but same thing anyone has this issue.

Does anyone know how i can back up every thing including my apps and contacts when i want to flash again?
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
I was on Cog2.2B5.5 and had no problems going straight to this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] tnayrbj:
thanks

I am going to load 2e and wait for the new one. thanks for the info.
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
Are you going to do a stock version with JPM as well as the fully loaded version?
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Yes I will do a stock version & both should be up with in the hour.

[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
how is it going to be installed odin or rom manager.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Sounds like you didn't get the rom installed and are running stock jpk. New rom is up with easy install.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
rom manager
[Captivate Android Development] wahida76:
Captivate

Downloading New Rom now and will see how it goes thank you
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
So let me get this straight... I can be on the stock JF6 rooted and just use ROM manager to flash this?
[Captivate Android Development] tnayrbj:
I don't think so

you have to flash 2e kernel like it says on front page

do I need to do s 1900 recovery or captivate???
[Captivate Android Development] sfernandez:
just installed over jpk rom with rom manager worked good so far
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yes, that should work since JF6 runs 2e recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Thanks for the reply....
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
The stock rom is messed up. its have JI6 base. I am fixing this and reuploading.
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
If using 2.2 ROM
