Hey, boomerod, thanks for the great instructions in the OP! The only issue I had was when installing Tayutama's ROM, my phone hung up at "finding packages" and I had to pull the battery, reboot into recovery, reinstall packages, etc., but it worked flawlessly the second time around.

I came from CDE-AOSP 2.2-Beta4 with z4mod which was a good setup, but, man Voodoo flies!

BTW, voice and data are working fine here and I have a full four bars, at least for right now. I also noticed that the haptic feedback is slight to almost non existant on the soft keys, but is strong everywhere else. Again, thanks for the great guide in the OP!
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Lol boomer...wishful thinking (imo)

I was up all night messing with this setup again and for the life of me I cannot get a modem that will get 1/2 the normal signal or not jack the phone up when one actually does work....grrrr I like the rom but I need to be able to use the phone for a couple minutes each day

Right now I am using jpk based rom w ex's new voodoo enabled kernel and everything is great but I want to get Tay's working...frustrating

FYI, it seems that Tayutama has put out a v1.0.3 that comes with Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented kernel v2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] bleeman:
Help!!

I am on the Shep 211 themed ROM and I was attempting to flash the updated reoriented kernel 2.1 via Odin. The process appears stuck at zImage.....any ideas, I am afraid I am bricked.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Pull the plplug and try again if no goo then....odin back to stock and start over

The easiest way is to update via clockwork zip though odin really should not give you any problems either

[Captivate Android Development] BLiTzNicK:
My data works, but it is SLOOOOW. 42kbps up and down, and 999ms pings on speedtest.net. GPRS only.
[Captivate Android Development] bleeman:
Thanks

Appreciate the help, had to flash back to stock and start again.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
This ROM is super stable, I was in IRC Cognition chat room and we all were flashing the Voodoo 5 pre6 kernel. I flashed just the kernel since I realize I was already running the JP6 modem from Excalburin's v 1.0.2 reoriented kernel. Mine installed with the Hsupa and 3g working just fine, it shows auto is set up by default in my settings I didn't have to change a thing so far. GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) is still checked by default on mine. And I rebooted a dozen times with all the flashing.

Battery life is great, I did recalibrate after flashing and running it for a while. I forgot to reformat or reparition my sdcard when I flashed back to stock before flashing Tatuyama's ROM but it is running smooth as butter, nothing got wiped from my internal. I haven't tried the GPS yet, I am assuming that mine was working awsome on Cognition 2.2 beta 5.5 with 2e kernal and this is froyo so it should still bw fine. I will check on signal when I go out on a bit. So far I have had great signal strength and call quality is outstanding.

Strange that we all have differnet experiences when we flash. I think I am one of the few that has no signal problems with the JP6 modem. I will keep and eye on it and if I have a problem I will flash a different modem, there's more than enough modems to choose from.

This is awsome, I am so happy with my new setup and Voodoo. Donations are going out to those that made this possible. Thanks for the tips Boomerod.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
yep... definitely alot of ppl having problem with getting good reception. just like me >< we need a fixed modem :(
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
What you guys need is a proper Froyo modem :(
[Captivate Android Development] 1randomtask:
Seems that way.

As above, I "enabled" 850mhz. However it simply cannot find Telsta's 850mhz WCDMA band.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Try a JPK modem.
[Captivate Android Development] 1randomtask:
where do i get one to flash up? I assume I just flash the modem part in Odin?

*edit* nvm - need a working phone now (off to work in 1.5 hrs). Just went Shep's Fully Loaded JPK Rom w/ Reoriented 2.1
[Captivate Android Development] Blindfreek:
great post!

great post...im new to this, so ive been trying a lot of new roms and kernels out. Installation was pretty simple! Only took about 15 min to install (including the time where i messed up the kernel flash to stock lol)

the background is awesome, and so far the reboot and recovery options are great! Not sure what HSUPA is (spelling error prob?) but Ill search it out lol. My fav setup so far :)
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Would it be possible to get a thread posted with all of the modems available for the Captivate that way we can try the different modems and see which ones offer the best signal for each phone. It seems that everyone has different results. It would make things easier if we had all the modems in one thread so people aren't asking repeatedly for links to the different modems, imo.

I have been testing the JP6 modem all day and I am not noticing a signal problem at all. I have been checking Android System Info battery usage and I have not lost signal at all. Also, the battery is doing good and the gps is working, it's not perfect but it is functioning and usable. I ran some errands and ran it and once it locked it didn't lose the lock and it's rainy and cloudy.

This is the first I9000 ROM I've run on my phone and I am extremely pleased with it. It was fast and smooth before flashing the Voodoo kernel now it makes calls the second I think about making the call, lol, so I don't have to :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] shamelin73:
I am running this Rom and i am in the Chicago area. Followed instructions to a T and seems to be a nice setup.

I do travel alot here in the states and hope this will work when i get out of the Chicago area.
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
Exactly with so many modems around with various experience and signals, that would be a task. Although I am very pleased with my current configuration.
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
is there a framework-res.apk out there that can change the notification bar to a more stock look? Not too fond of all the colored icons in the notification bar. Since this is the I9000 rom, all I9000 froyo compatible mods should work, correct? Or if I were to replace with a stock I9000 2.2 framework-res.apk, then it would revert as well?
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Well, as soon as I left my house I got 4 full bars. Not sure if it will stay that way. I'm. Pretty sure it's all 1900 in the area I'm in. Does anyone know if European uses WCDMA 850?
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
850 is North America (US/Canada) exclusive... ya... we are special
[Captivate Android Development] noidd:
You're doing better than I am, I get no service whatsoever. Not sure why? I've taken sim out and replaced, played with network settings..nothing changes. Any ideas?

BTW - I do not have 3G in my area.

Edit: I flashed a JI6 modem from one of the COG builds and works perfect now. Thanks for the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I get great reception. Thanks a lot for the thread Boomerod. This is the best rom/kernel combo I have ever tried!
[Captivate Android Development] 1randomtask:
Nein.

The largest 3G network in the world uses it as well. Telstra (Australia). They call it "NextG"
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
you have cognition, pull out all necessary files and use minimalistic metamorph to change whatever you like. do not forget to change metamorph folder name in frameworks/res/ as it differs from Tayutama's.
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
I've installed the ROM and it is SCREAMING fast!!

I noticed that now when I am in GSM only mode, it used to be EDGE, now it is only GPRS!! Any idea why?
[Captivate Android Development] timur525:
Could someone merge the tayutama JPM, xcaliburin kernal and the stock lock screen into one. Zip file we could flash through rom manager?
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Hey guys i just finished flashing this ROM and followed the instructions. But i can't seem to get the Reboot, Recovery and Download options from the Power button menu to work. Is there a certain setting i have to turn on.
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
Tayutama has a new version (v1.0.3) for the Captivate that has Xcaliburinhand's v2.1 kernel in it. I think you still have to flash the stock lock screen separately, though. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808763
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
I just tried Reboot and Recovery, and they worked as advertised. I'm going to just assume that Download works as well. :) There is no setting to turn on, they should just work.
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
So substitute in cog files for the one's found in minimal metamorph??

I'm not following you about the folder name... could you give me some detailed instructions? Not too acquainted with all the theme stuff
[Captivate Android Development] timur525:
If i install Tayutama's 1.0.3 Lite ROM ,which is basically 1.0.2 with Caliburin's Voodoo kernal minus all the samsung crap, does 2e still work? does Clockwork still work?
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
I just answered in tayutamas thread.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Is the reboot and recovery option supposed to show up when i hold the power button like on DG's cognition 8?
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
Installed last night and everything worked till today when I traveled and switched towers in an Edge area. Kept losing signal. Had 850 checked and also tried a factory reset. Nothing worked. I have had no luck with i9000 based roms.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Let us know if you experience any soft reboot. We saw that JI6 would, seemingly at tower changes were the band changes too, you get some haptic feedback, the screen freezes and/or goes black. Then it comes back up after a moment, like it's reloading the desktop.
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
im gonna give this a go tonight, ill let ya know what i come across.
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
Pull Tayutama's framework-res.apk. Save it in your ADB path in case something goes wrong.

Get Minimalistic Metamorph that suits you. Once you run it it will create folders.

Pull drawable-hdpi folder from Cognition framework-res.apk.

Put all files in same Min. metamorph framework folder.

Rename it drawable-hdpi-v4 as in Tayutama's version.

Apply framework option via Metamorph XML path.

Phone will freeze and go black. Pull the battery, reboot. (at least this is how my phone reacts every time I apply it.)

If the system crashes (never happened to me) use ADB and push original framework-res.apk back to phone and reboot.

Phone crashed only when I tried to push whole framework-res.apk from another room.

Same story with twframework drawable-hdpi-v4 only this time it doesn't freeze, but you need to reboot for changes to apply.

The only image I can't change after multipale attempts is SDcard image in MediaProvider.apk. Phone crashes after trying it with NinjaMorph or replacing apk with modified/resigned one.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
Did not catch any soft reboots. Phone was erroring out with "No Data Network Available". Areas that I normally got a signal in the past had no bars. Wife's iPhone 3G had service.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Try a call while you have no bars

So, back at my house and back to one bar most of the time. However, I just tried a voice call while I had NO bars and it went through loud and clear. Has anyone that is having this issue tried to make a phone call with no bars?
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
i may be having the same issue with signal...my phone keeps kicking into G but then again i get crappy signal in my apartment...btw gps is killer right off the bat...this might be a good rom to play with!
[Captivate Android Development] noidd:
I usually get about 3-4 bars in my house but i couldnt get a signal at all. Could not dial out or anything. Im not in a 3G area. I flashed just the modem bin from a cog release and that fixed my signal but then started getting FC's on various apps after awhile. It would also be very sluggish at times. Hoping for a better modem if possible. Love the rom
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
Followed your directions! Thanks a bunch!
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
is anyone having a problem with Google Voice? it seems it doesnt want to save my sync settings...gonna try a uninstall and reinstall to see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
Yes, it is.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Alright i figured it out haha. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] domin8:
my mms isnt retrieving. anyone else having this problem?

edit:

just noticed if i disable wifi, it will retrieve, but with wifi on it wouldnt...trying to replicate now

edit 2:

after enabling/disabling wifi, it now retrieved properly even with wifi connected. Must have just been a fluke
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
MMS requires a data channel over your cell, 2G or 3G or 4G. SMS does not, it can pass a message over just a voice channel. On Galaxy phones, when you have a wifi connection, the data channel is disabled. I do not know why MMS worked for you later on when you reestablished the wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I got a soft reboot earlier this afternoon but I was home not moving. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
I can confirm the signal reception is worst, areas that I get full bars and I am now getting 2 bars.

I no longer get EDGE service, I am getting GPRS only.

Maybe going back to COG is better in the mean time.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
I saw this behavior on stock and cognition, did your bars magically go up when the call connected? That is the behavior I would see. Have not had less than 2 bars since installing jpm modem. Drove all over denver and did not even drop data signal around Invesco like I used to. I'm on this rom permanently I think.
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
i also went back to cog because of that...im getting better signal at least.
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
So I just have to say, this post kept me from returning my Captivate on day 29. I had tried probably four or five different setups between Eclair and Froyo - this one beats them all and has resolved just about all of my complaints. I hate to say the dirty "g" word and jinx it, but even my GPS is improved. Even though it's not perfect, it gives me hope that there could be a software fix possible vs. a permanent hardware failure. My Captivate has never screamed along this fast, had this good of reception, downloaded faster or had the battery last this long. Thank you SO much for the post.
[Captivate Android Development] domin8:
I will report any signal issues I may have throughout the day today, ut so far I don't have any complaints. I think the reported bars are inaccurate though because I was getting 1.2 mb dl and 950 up on speedtest last night with one bar reported H
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
After testing all weekend. I've determined that the signal bars are in accurate. HSUPA does work and voice works even if there seems to be no signal present. The only issue I have with this setup is battery life. I left the house at 7:00 am and its currently 8:39 am very little usage. No phone calls wifi on for about thirty minutes but no browsing and about three speed test to test HSUPA, and I am at 76 %. Does any one have a non HSUPA modem that will work with this setup that is in an update.zip. HSUPA would be nice but I need the battery life. I have searched and I can't find a modem to replace this with. Other than that this is the best my phone has been.
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
You would need to flash the JI6 Captivate Modem and Kernel. Unless you don't mind screwed up voice calls...
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
That sucks then I loose the x kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I am having some signal issues as well. My room normally has pretty low signal strength, but with this rom, I'm running at about -113db. The big issue is the battery life(could be from searching for signal) I've been unplugged for 40min, and went from 100% to 89%....... ouch

I haven't had a chance to check GPS yet. I'll give that a go this afternoon. HSUPA is working, and working well. Speed Test gave me 2960DL-1370UL. Very nice:)

I forgot how much I like the BT voice commands.

This is a really solid ROM. I'm hoping better signal strength, and battery life come soon cause it's a keeper

Excellent work to the dev's on this one! Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
I have been running this rom concoction with the voodoo kernel as described. My signal bars are pretty accurate compared to my jh7 stock setup.

However, even with Voodoo enabled... this rom is twice as slow as my JH7 stock. On my JH7 email would open up instantly. Now i have to wait at least a full second for it to come up. I also have to wait to make an email read.

the laggyness is getting to me. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am running launcherpro latest version and twitdroyd and weatherbug in background.

i need to get rid of these speed issues and then I will be a happy man.
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
That's what the X kernel is for, HSUPA. You can(in theory) run an i9000 ROM with Captivate kernel and modem.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Did this last night. No issues thus far. Best setup I have used yet.
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
I also discovered that voice call via bluetooth headset is a bit different, can't say is worse than JI6, but not as sharp and clear.
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
nobody is having speed issues? no lag?
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
Mine's pretty snappy. Only time it's been better was with Tayutama's 2.1 with voodoo. Still not much different.

EDIT

I did a master reset before installing and installed everything fresh from the market.

of course I did a backup of my sd card first
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
Staples! That was easy.
[Captivate Android Development] driike:
Thought i'd toss it out....if you are having receptions problems you could try the jpk modem. its what i have been using and i haven't had one reception problem at all ;)
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
for those experiencing 1900 to 850 band voice+data, voice only, data only problems... are you also on the voodoo kernel as well?

When I came to this setup, I did not flash the voodoo kernel, and I have not had any problems.

Details:

Living in Atlanta, GA

Using win7 x64 machine

Flashed to stock

Formatted internal SD

Used Odin master clear

Did a phone reset (this was fixing data connection issues for some in the cog thread)

Copied over Tayutama + CWM.zip to internal SD

Turned off phone

Waited for 100% charge in power-off state

Booted into recovery (vol. up/down + power)

Flashed via CWM

edit: whenever I ran ODIN, i right-clicked and "Ran as administrator"
[Captivate Android Development] timur525:
Can I install OCLF over this? That 1500mb of something is pretty nice..
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
Quick question. If we replaced drawable-hdpi-v4 in framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk with those from cognition.. and place back in CWM flashable zip, it should not cause problems, right?

I'm trying to get a modified version of this rom...

Also, pulling out bloatware apk's that I don't need or like.

I've never created/modified roms before, but this is just simple step. and in theory shouldn't cause any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I found out that my Samsung wired headset is working only with media sounds. If I use it during voice calls, the sound still comes out from the phone speaker, not from the earbuds. Is anybody else experiencing the same?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Finally got GSM 850 with Tayutama's Rom Doing This

Ok.....after flashing back and forth to everything I could find, I finally am able to use Tayutama's rom, which in my opinion is the quickest one I found even before voodoo for 2.2.

After using many different modems, setting the band selections, blah blah blah, what I finally did was follow the directions outlined in another thread where the person was explaining that they flashed to stock, then to another firmware, followed by this modem and lastly to tay's rom. Well amidst all the downloading and file shuffling I kinda gave up and said the heck with it let me try this for the heck of it first:

Flash to Stock w Odin

Flash JG8 Modem using Odin

CWM Tayutama's Rom

While I had no idea if this was going to help or not I was up for anything and I'll be damned if it works!! :D Full bars on GSM 850 and no reboots yet (fingers crossed). I have no idea what the battery life is like and really don't care right now....I will worry about the rest tomorrow but for now I could not be happier!!

Every other modem I would flash would either pick up the band i need (GSM 850) and have soft reboots or would only pick up the 1900 band that is very week at my house.

Anyway, I hope this helps somebody out and if I missed where someone already said to do this amongst the thousand or so posts I have read on the subject I apologize for not giving credit. :rolleyes:

edit: I forgot to mention that this modem gave me no reception whatsoever on the stock build but but works great now. I will check tomorrow on the 1900 freq. when I get out of the house..lol
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Where can I download multiple modems packages to try out?

I get pretty good reception with JPM, but I must admit is not as good as with Conition B8. I wonderwhich modem Designgears used.
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
according to his change file dg uses JI6 which has no HSUPA

You can go to samfirmwares.com and download any of their firmwares and take the modem.bin out of the zip file.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
you can download the one I am using by clicking on it in my original post....as for all the others I tried.....well they are in the recycle bin...lol
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
I tried the JG8 on Tayutama's earlier rom and everyone complained about battery drain. I had to charge by lunch time.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I am glad to see you got this working. Perhaps the sequence you used is the key. The JG8 modem is an Eclair modem and we (those of us that have been at this for some time now) did find battery drain to be faster than when we used a Froyo modem. It is also the modem that id10terrordfw noted in his How To post regarding X and T's Eclair setup (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791366). Keep us all posted on your experience.

P.S. I like DG's work and have still yet to find a ROM that has better battery life than 2.1.6. I'm not sure if it's just the modem he's using or a combination of that and, perhaps, the under-volt kernel. In any case, the leaked Froyo is just not something I will go back to, no matter how much DG dresses it up. It just doesn't work for me (Exchange replies/forwards; no Bluetooth voice commands).
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I figured that it had been tried but I was literally looking for anything I didn't care or know where most of the modems i tested even came from! I don't know why but nothing wants to connect to the gsm 850 band at my house with the I9000 rom. At least I can finally play with these roms and not miss calls/messages.....even if I do find that it kills my battery LOL

I may go back and try a couple of others using the method of flashing the modem first and see if I get different results should this one prove to be horrible on battery for me as well.
