New instructions, easy and clean:

Quoted instructions are for documentation purposes ONLY

First of all, as usual, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS WITH YOUR PHONE DURING OR AFTER THIS PROCESS!

- return to stock

- download Darky's latest ROM

- download xcaliburinhand's latest reoriented kernel (odin version) with voodoo

- reboot into CWM recovery and wipe data/cache

- flash darky's ROM from CWM

- let it boot into welcome screen and wait 10 minutes

DONE.

Use kitchen for battery, icon and animation (boot and UI) moods.

If you get stuck somewhere you can find some detailed instructions below.

Old instructions:

Thanks go to:

Darky for his great rom

Setiron for his work in putting together all optimizations for the Galaxy S kernel and making them available to Captivate users.

xcaliburinhand for the original reoriented kernel

supercurio for his voodoo project

neldar for the backlight notifications

Koushik Dutta for ClockWorkMod recovery

and last, but not least, samfirmware for the great Samsung leaks that we all love.

I encourage you to donate to these guys (buy premium account in samfirmware's case). Without them our phones would be useless.

Don't forget to hit the Thanks button. :D
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Another piece of work posted with no Donate to Me button or link; that's the spirit! Thank you for these instructions. I am debating on trying this ROM; right now I am really happy with Ultimate v3.0 - everything works!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Addons And Troubleshooting

Addons:

For this you need a kernel with integrated CWM. You should use setiron's as is the only one compiled for 2.2.1 with integrated CWM. I asked xcaliburinhand if he can integrate CWM recovery in his kernel

return_to_stock_5_4.zip

: in case you apply themes and you would like to go back to stock (contains only framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk) - flash with the CWM integrated in setiron's kernel - only Darky's 5.4

Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip

Gingerbread Keyboard CWM flashable - as well you can find it on your sdcard as an installable apk

source

- flash with the CWM integrated in setiron's kernel

NewSwype.zip

- Swype Beta v2.15.56 - flash with the CWM integrated in setiron's kernel

modemJK4_ODIN.zip

ODIN JK4 modem

update.i9000ugjk4.modem.zip

JK4 Modem CWM flashable - flash with the CWM integrated in setiron's kernel

update.I9000XXJPU.modem.zip

Stock JPU modem in case you flashed JK4 and you have problems - flash with the CWM integrated in setiron's kernel

All Samsung applications available

here

- Thanks to DocRambone for deodexing and packing - flash with the CWM integrated in setiron's kernel

Troubleshooting

Key combos:

Recovery: Vol up + Vol Down + Power

Download: both volume buttons pressed while inserting USB from power off mode.

Known issues:

1. USB storage with any of these kernels is not safe!!

I lost a lot of data because of it

You can disable USB debugging, go to USB settings and enable there Media Player mode. As well make sure TouchWiz launcher is your home launcher while doing that. After you finish copying files you can switch back to your favorite launcher.

As a second alternative, you can use QtADB for file transfers and much more. Is one of the best Android managers around.

2. Some color issues here and there but hopefully will be fixed in next release or some fix will be sent out.

Don't forget to hit the Thanks button. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Hehe, you were fast :) wanted to reserve the second post.

I dont want any donation, there is none of my work here. These guys deserve to be paid monthly by the Android community :)

[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Whoops, sorry. I don't mind if you have a mod delete or move it down. I can always re-post. And, I just found the Thanks button and used it too. Been keeping an eye on this ROM for several days. :D

Oh, but you did put in work to make this post with these detailed instructions. Very cool!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
no probs, i might not use it anyway, I was keeping it in case Darky will release some addons or if I will add some stuff myself ;) 3rd post is fine for me ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes, I tried to make it easy but I advice newbies to read some basic info first, like the stickies on top of the Android Development section
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
hi there nice right up , I am not sure why all those steps are required ...

I get it some of these steps are 'precautions' .. but woudl you care to explain why we need to flash 2 different kernels at 2 different steps and why we need to start from original i9000 rom is DARky's not a complete rom to begin with ?

I am not trying to be annoying here , but I suppose if I dont understnd why we need liek 15 steps to flash this rom I am probably nto the only on ..

thx in advance '
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Will this work for 5.2 which is supposed to be released later today? Or Doc's rom, for that matter?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Is better to flash a i9000 froyo from an i9000 eclair. That's the way I do it, that's the way it works great, that's the way I teach it ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
I believe it should. There shouldn't be any huge difference between them.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Right on, thanks. I'm going to hold off until 5.2 is out. He said tonight, and he's in switzerland, I believe. So, I'm thinking it will be in the next couple hours or so.
[Captivate Android Development] \/icious:
Man than was quick. I loved darky's 4.0 and almost regret flashing over it. Ill be giving this a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Dont forget to "Thank" me :D I love this new Thank you thing
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
when you wrote "reboot to welcome screen" are you saying do a full reboot or do a battery pull at the i9000 screen?

Sorry I'm somewhat dense at times :D
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Lets be safe and do a full reboot :)
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
+1

i'm pretty ocd when it comes to flashing, but odin left a bad taste in my mouth after i flashed a modem file and hard bricked my first cappy. i think i'll just flash stock and then this one over it. i'll post results later
[Captivate Android Development] rsohne:
Thanks for the very detailed instructions.Installed without a hitch. This is one fast rom!
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I read the method you posted and it sounds like a lot of extra work, it was real simply for me

1. Flash back to stock

2. Flash Darky's rom with clockwork mod and let it boot up

3. Enter download mode and flash Xcaliberhand's latest kernel and the ugjk4 modem with odin

That worked really well for me, but on a side note this is probably the best performing rom I've had on my captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
thank you.

this explains a lot. i dont think the version of gingerbread keyboard included in the rom is the one that corrected the auto-correction issue. i tried to flash the other version and it crapped out on cwm....guess i will just have to stick it in the old fashioned way ;)
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
I can't get out of this error message. Every time I force close it just pops up immediately again.

PhoneSetupWizard (processcom.sec.android.app.phonesetupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly.

EDIT: Nevermind, I selected went to power it off and it started working. Very snappy so far!
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Is the i9000 kernel the reason i got fc when flashing the circle bat mod?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
that shouldnt have anything to do with it. the circle bat mod resides in the framework....it doesnt care about what kernel you are running

but if you tried to pull framework from another rom or use a battery mod from another version... (JPK/JP6/JJ4/etc) then it will cause those problems.
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
This confuses me. If go to ROM manager and install the latest CWM recovery for i9000 wont that be sufficient?

[Captivate Android Development] korgmotif:
Hi, sorry a bit new, wondering if you could help me. since i cant use cwm, are these steps correct to get the gingerbread keyboard fix working?

download gingerbread keyboard fix zip from OP

extract system folder from zip

use root explorer to add these files to their respective locations on my phone

restart
[Captivate Android Development] damnitdave:
good work on the rom... went to try the gps after installing and got a lock within 10 seconds and within 10 meters... will try the gps on the way to work tomorrow
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
thats pretty much it, but i may have been wrong. it may be the right keyboard included, but for some reason it doesnt seem to predict as well as it did on assonance rom which i was on prior to this one....
[Captivate Android Development] korgmotif:
ah thanks for the help. i dont think ur wrong though. ive noticed that it was missing a lot of dictionary entries compared to the roms in the captivate forums.

the fix works very well though, now ive got a full fledged keyboard.

this rom is very nice, almost no lag at all. makes me jealous that the intl galaxy s owners have an fm radio though.

edit: gps fixes in under 5 seconds! amazing!
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
HOw is the battery life on this?

I hardly speak maximum of 45 minutes and 25 minutes of web browsing per day. No SMS or MMS.

Can any one comment?

I am getting 35 hours of backup on stock.But on Axura or Assonance I get max only 24 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
Battery life seems to be great, I also had crap battery life on Axura, but on this ive had pretty heavy usage for a day and half and still on 29%
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
No. I killed my phone 3 times flashing from the recovery on the sdcard stuff which when flashed from kernel integrated CWM didnt make any problems. Then I had a revelation :D
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
Been 48 hours so far some texting, bluetooth on, emails, syncing, a couple calls and im at 60%.

I have a question however. ROM is super fast and super smooth, however I noticed that after flashing and doing Titanium Backup it restored some text messages from several flashes ago...I always master clear and I never back them up (on purpouse) Anyone have any idea why they would come back? It's not a big deal I am just curious if there is something else going on, possibly something with Googles cloud or something o.0
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Probably because your TiB backups are from 2.2 or 2.1. Froyo 2.2.1 seems to use a different db structure.. not sure though. What I noticed is that it didn't restore any of the settings of many applications.
[Captivate Android Development] attsw:
I used the update.zip from my last flash of Cog 2.3b6 to flash Xcaliburinhand's kernel after 5.2 booted the first time, then used it for the keyboard and Titanium Backup. Had to disable-lagfix for the keyboard and Tibu but not for the kernel. The update.zip was targeted at a Captivate originally.
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
Yeah my TB backups were 2.2, it's just super odd that it would restore things that I never backed up o.0

It restored everything I wanted though so its not an issue
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
If they appeared, they were backed up somehow :)
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Thank you for your wisdom, I now have Setiron 1.4.3 1280 OC to get the working integrated CWM and QtADB to transfer files. :) Just downloaded the QtADB zip and put all the files in /android/tools/

BTW: After I loaded the new kernel the rest of the theme from the battery mod you posted on post 3 loaded. The glass look had not completely flashed with previous CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I see that some people are getting good battery life with this ROM - I unplugged at 630am and am already at 80% (11AM) This is with a 5min phone call, some email checking, and my son playing kid zoodles or whatever for about 10min) - if you are having good battery life, did you swap out the i9000 kernel? What did you do to increase battery life?

btw I flashed the first version of this (long way) v5.1, flashed the JK4 modem, then disabled lagfix, and flashed 5.2 when it came out - if this makes any difference whatsoever.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Honestly I don't know how someone can get more than 24h with this ROM. I get max 12h but I use it like a madman.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Anyone know which files control Extended Power Menu? I took the whole framework from Jim's Hamster Rom, and replaced the one in darkyys with it. Now I have Jim's theme and ext menu on top of Darkyys rom. Everything works fine, except on the pulldown notification bar and heading for ext menu, it says "Hamster's Rom." No biggie, but want to see if I can edit it.
[Captivate Android Development] Carsus:
I tried to install this ROM from AXURA CE RC 1. I disabled the lagfix and booted normally, then rebooted into recovery to wipe data/factory reset twice. I then tried to install the ROM from sdcard. It seemed to install ok but when I tried to reboot I got stuck at the I9000 screen with voodoo telling me "system partition unavailable". Will try to ODIN to stock tonight. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else had encountered a similar error.

PS. I did find one post for someone that had this error using cognition but did not find any followup.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
@pirateghost - did you ever try the Telus modem on this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
yeah, been running it since yesterday afternoon. battery life seems a little worse for me, but that is inconclusive and very subjective.

it seems that i am spending more time on 1900 band 2 whereas before i was on 850 band 5 more. still testing
[Captivate Android Development] dowenprs:
Is anyone having any wifi issues with this rom? I've flashed to stock went through and flashed this rom, twice now, and my wifi connects, but the internet connection will go in and out. It's not the router either, I haven't had this issue with other roms or computers on wifi. I really like this rom, but the wifi problem is a killer for me.

I searched, couldn't find anything though, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks fellas!

Has anyone tested video recording? I get recording failed and camera failed pop ups when recording. I love the little preview pic in the bottom right of the camera and don't want to lose that.

Sent from my GT-I9000

Edit: It appears that even with the SGS tools hacked i9k camera & with a captivate stock camera I have the issue, which leads me to believe it has something to do with my phone and not the app.

Edit2: Quadrant stops at CPU on "Video decoding H.264" and does not proceed.

Any ideas what it could be? Missing a codec?

Edit 3. Reflashed. Fixed.

[Captivate Android Development] fertilecroissant:
Not sure if this has to do with this ROM or with the SetiroN kernel I flashed onto it afterwards, but my buttons are staying lit when the screen is off and unlit when the screen is on. Kind of annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] bfara83:
Both works fine for me. Do u have a different kernel on ur phone? I'm using SetiroN 1.4.6 on mine.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay120171:
I've successfully used this ROM since Friday without issue. I am using Sentiron's 1.4.5 kernal (max clock set to 1000Mhz since I don't want to OC) and the JK3 modem - both flashed via Odin. I've also UV'd by 25 for 100-800 and 50 for 1000Mhz but I get a full day of moderate to heavy use out of a charge.

I will be flashing the JJ4 modem and Sentiron 1.4.6 kernal today and see how that goes. Overall I really like the look and performance of this ROM/kernal/modem combination.

Anyone else take a go at this modem on this ROM?

[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Still downloading to phone but this is the plan. Will either flash tonight or first thing in am. Charging phone too. :(

Root explorer unzip 5.4

Root explorer copy zimage from xcalibur 2.1.2 and replace in 5.4 as well as Jk4 modem to replace current jpu modem.

Delete unwanted apks.

Root explorer zip it up.

Flash to Stock JF6 One click Odin.

Flash 5.4 CWM with voodoo disabled by leaving disable-lagfix

Flash Setiron 1.4.6 via Odin.

Restore using TiBu filtering JPU then restore all apps, apps data, and system data. Should be very similar data so hopefully wont break anything. Email may be messed up as email.apk changed but can wipe that if needed and manually add.

Test, test, test.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I was thinking about just disabling the lagfix and flashing 5.4 over, then doing setiron's kernel and jk4 modem HMMMMM
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
do it all at once.....
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Since Darky's is ext4, are we suppose to disable lagfix using CWM prior to flashing Stock?
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
I'm on 5.4 with the telus TLJL3 modem and loving it. I flashed Setiron's 1400 JPU kernel and so far so good.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
if you use ODIN to go back to stock, you dont have to disable anything. odin will remove any lagfix that might be there
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
OK. I've read that but I sometimes get the blue or yellow or green screens with incomplete flash via Odin 1 click which makes me think something is not working correctly. I simply unplug, open Odin back up and try till it finally flashes stock.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Flashed this morning before work - battery life is ridiculous so far - flashed at 100% - applied lagfix, had a 15min phone call, and tested gps for a few minutes - and at 95% still.

I can't get 5.4 to run. I keep getting FC's in email app and can't cancel the setup wizard BS that runs on first boot. Not sure WTF is going on but I flashed stock, master cleared and then flashed 5.4 but no love for me this morning.
[Captivate Android Development] papashex:
Same for myself, I performed the same steps above with same result. Stuck in setup wizard. I did not make any kernel changes. What I saw looks awesome. I hope I can get it fixed and usable.

Update:pulled battery and sim. restarted w/o sim. Still have email app fc, but gets through the wizard to homescreen. While I flashed stock & cleared w/o sim. It was installed for the 5.4 flash. Will try to rinse and repeat.

Just a quick FYI. Darky has posted 5.5 in the i9000 forum:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091

The changelog states he changed the Email client to AOSP.

I have a question, and Im sorry if its been answered, I actually just found this thread. So I was flashing the ROM, not the one on this thread, but the actual one on the i9000 thread. At first I was getting some weird wifi and sim card problems. So I reflashed to stock a few times, I saw the v5.5 today and flashed, then flashed setiron 1.4.6 and the jk4 modem through odin after booting it up. Everything is working fine, but the home button acts as a back button still. Is it required to flash this "captivate version" first, or am I missing something?

Any help would be much appreciated!
