Better yet, why not credit the devs who are actually working on it?

Cyanogen doesn't have magic powers, and isn't responsible for everything with his name on it. It's Aery and codeworx who have been developing CM for the SGS, and they're now the ones working with supercurio and other kernel folks on porting Gingerbread.

Keep getting stuck on ATT boot logo.

Flashing kernel over Darky's JPX + Setiron's JPX 1.5.6 w/ EXT4 = all in CWM. ADB working fine, Odin flash is fine, hangs on ATT boot logo w/ windows asking for Nexus S drivers. Forced driver install, only options presented were Android Composite ADB interface and Android Original ADB.

What the heck do I keep missing?

The only unusual thing I keep seeing in adb is "tar: no gzip/bzip2/xz magic" after the first busybox command. mkdir commands are working because when I try again I get file already exists.

thanks in advance for any help here

Added this on my guide for Captivate users :) Wonderful work... as always. Your kernels always have a home on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Ok guys this is not the place for talking about what Samsung does or doesnt do. So please lets stay on topic.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Completely understand. When GB drops we'll all be best friends :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
So....how's everything going with this now..Is any headway being made so we all can have GB before the "official" froyo release is out...Man...wouldn't that just frost their collective balls if this happens...:D:D:D:D

v4 is live. About to flash it.:)

Edits: Back and Search button don't work, Home is back, Menu is correct. Oh, and screen is stuck in landscape (which was dealt with in the i9000 roms). Still, fantastic work.

Also, DAT SCREEN OFF ANIMATION. :D

Wow can't even read this thread anymore bcuz everyone is ranting about Samsung. Go make your own damn thread and stop spamming in the GINGERBREAD NEXUS S PORT thread. That is what ppl are coming here to read about. Not touchwiz and samsung.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Does WiFi and data work yet? I'd really like to give this a shot, but I need my phone..... darn business requirements!

Kudos to the Dev team!
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Nothing works. :rolleyes: Not even phone service, let alone data/wifi. You could flash it for a few minutes, then flip back to your usual.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
V4 the buttons are working so progress is being made. Slowly but surely.
[Captivate Android Development] gasolara2002:
This post is a strong reason to keep my captivate. Gingerbread on our phones would be awesome and the devs can come up with a first to allow 720p recording on gingerbread then cheers and donations shall go to them.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Wish Samsung would release their Source for the Nexus S - would make life so much easier.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Is the source they posted last week just for Gingerbread? I though that included the Nexus S source as well.
[Captivate Android Development] silversleeper:
Thanks guys... sorry for being a douche.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Ok Guys I just cleaned up the thread so can we please stay on topic? I will say this once as far as the swearing goes. If you would not want your kids to read it then dont post it. This is The only warning I am gonna give on this, so please lets all just focus on the AWSOME work that is going on.:D

[Captivate Android Development] _NULL_:
STOKED!!!!

I am stoked to hear that Cyanogen and Supercurio have teamed up to make gingerbread happen for the captivate. This should be wicked when its released. :D

And I just want to give some hardcore kudos and props to all of the developers working to make this happen, as well as everyone here at XDA that helps to keep this community strong.

Keep up the spectacular work!

so how do these sounds for possible names:

SuperCyanogen

CurioGen

CyanoCurio

Gincuriogenmod

Okay, I am done.

Thanks :D Again

I don't like for my kids to read giant red text.
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
Question. How is this ROM port going to handle any updates that are made by Google to the Nexus S? Will it require Supercurio and team to have to go through everything again that they are doing now?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Giant red text is the biggest swear word of all time, how dare you!

Edit: ^^ It'll be a much simpler task once they figure everything out, I wouldn't expect anywhere near this much work.
[Captivate Android Development] mandrsn1:
Awesome. :D
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Gingerbread is so close I can taste it :-)
[Captivate Android Development] bugmenever:
I bet we'll have some Gingerbread by the last week of 2010, I'll be able to let go of this Gingerbread-themed Froyo, at last!

Truth is, we'll never be satisfied, a couple days after the full stable Ginger port we're going to be ALL OVER Honeycomb.
[Captivate Android Development] WheresWaldo:
I want to be clear on the radio interface, according to Google the Nexus S is a quad band phone so it has 850/900/1800/1900 radio frequencies. Elsewhere on this thread it was mentioned, I believe in error that you will not get 3G-850Mhz data on AT&T, but it appears that the hardware is capable. So if the specs are to be believed then is it correct to assume that we only need source that makes use of 850 to be fully functional on AT&T? And wouldn't that source be available with the rest of the Nexus S source code already posted?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
afaik Cyanogen is not working on this, the guys who were working on porting CyanogenMod over to the Galaxy S are, and several other fantastic devs including Supercurio and xcaliburinhand
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
actually the Nexus S only supports 850Mhz gsm (gprs and edge) but not 850Mhz HSPA (3g)

How is JIT working out on Gingerbread? Now that the Google phone is using a hummingbird processor, does that mean we'll see the JIT compiler optimized like it was for the snapdragon? Has anybody been able to test it out (benches or what have you), or are we not there yet?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Not true, we're finally be happy because we'll no longer be using leaked i9000 ports. We're going to have a REAL AOSP ROM, fully working and clean from the get go.

^^ JIT was working in Froyo... it's just that Hummingbird doesn't have near as good Floating Point performance as the snapdragons. Don't believe benchmarks, Hummingbird is the best chipset there is and probably for at least another 3-4 months.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Nexus s benchmarks are no different from galaxy s froyo. Jit is functional qualcom chips are just plain faster at floating point operations thus the high linpack score.

More elaborate benchmarks show comparable numbers to qualcom chips and galaxy phones are still unbeaten on graphics. The file system still benchmarks slower. But hopefully the devs made the changes that are in cyanogen to fix that.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Just to give you an idea, we should be seeing ~3000 quadrant scores with tweaked OC/UV kernels. Nexus S with just a ext4 tweak gets 2500.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Damn, the real-world performance must be insane then! :eek:

This is just too exciting!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
There is still no GPU acceleration, which is saddening when you think of just how much better everything would be. I'd rather have a 1000 quadrant with GPU acceleration instead of 3000 quadrant without GPU.
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Gingerbread has GPU acceleration on the Nexus S, why wouldn't we be able to get it here? It's the same SoC.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I am really excited, I just want them to take there time though. I'm fine on 2.2 for the time being!

Don't rush! ;D
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
In the original video, supercurio said it was super snappy, and I can imagine it's only gotten better since then.

My phone has never been, on any ROM, kernel, or lagfix, "snappy". Just varying stages of usable.
[Captivate Android Development] picklesnickles:
To all those working to make the Nexus S port to our Captivates, thank you very much for your time and effort.

Kudos to all!

[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thanks So Much

I first want to say thank you guys so much for all the hard work you have put it and it really is appreciated and we all love you guys for that.

But I just have a question when this is first released stable do yall think we could use this as an every day ROM? Also when Supercurio and the other Devs do release updates will we have to flash back to stock via Odin or will it be like with Cyanogenmod where you can flash upgrades on top of each other?

Thanks again,

D
[Captivate Android Development] thekurrgan:
I'm frankly amazed at how quickly the radio interface was handled.. I'm more curious how? Using an existing modem and modding kernel vs known source to interface to it? Or is there modem source out there some where?

Either way, you guys get two fat thumbs up on this one.. Shows the power of a team of developers working together by choice, freely.. The fools at Samsung havent even mastered 2.2 for the damn thing yet and the community will be on 2.3 before they OTA the 2.2 update, and these are people being paid 8 hours a day 5 days a week with full source to develop this damn thing..

Cheers guys!
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
You'd be surprised what some of those paid developers are like. A former coworker of mine just got a job at LG, supposedly porting android to new devices. We had a small going away party for him, at which I said "I didn't know you were into C and kernel dev." He shot me a frightened look and said 'I don't know C. What's kernel dev mean?' I guess LG will put him in some training program for a while before they let him do anything. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung's dev situation was similar.

[Captivate Android Development] kppanic:
I don't know why some of you are just prejudiced towards SS and LG regarding their "technical" prowess. I know many more skilled programmers and hackers that work for the said companies, even the ones working in supertight secret HQ operations in Korea and they are very knowledgeable with regards to what they do. You may have ONE friend that doesn't know his B from C buy that is just ONE person who got hired at who knows how high on hierarchy corporation ladder...

Like you said your friend will need a LOT of training no doubt, but over the years hopefully become a part of a team for perhaps conception and designing of tge next "Galaxy S's".
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Wifi working now. Maybe change thread title to "Getting close to a usable build." I'm sure it will take a while to knock out all of the bugs and call it stable, but once the latest with working ril and wifi is posted it will at least be usable.

First do not hurry this at all please, take your time and do it right.

But I just have a couple questions if you could answer probably not that important right now for the Devs but if someone knows I would really appreciate it.

First do you think when this becomes "stable" will we be able to flash through clockwork?

Secondly when this is first released stable do yall think we could use this as an every day ROM? Also when Supercurio and the other Devs do release updates will we have to flash back to stock via Odin or will it be like with Cyanogenmod where you can flash upgrades on top of each other?

Thanks again and TAKE YOUR TIME Y'ALL CAN DO THIS,

So does the camera work yet? It doesn't mention it in the most recent post.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
It absolutely boggles my mind that you developers are taking a lump of software made for one device, breaking it down and putting it back together for another device.

It will be there soon enough. Great job all!!!
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
With all this talk about a name - correct me if I am wrong, but are we not simply working towards an *actual* AOSP build for our Galaxy S phones? GB is the newest release of AOSP and the Nexus S carries it loaded. We're waiting for a port of AOSP, the Nexus S was just the delivery vehicle.

The challenge here is the same with that of getting CM6 (which contrary to opinion is *not* AOSP, but rather based upon it) even ported - getting a 2.2 or 2.3 AOSP build onto our "walled garden" phones.

I get the feeling some may not see the true potential here. We're not waiting for some pieced together 2.3 ROM. We're waiting to finally get a clean, solid base from which we can build on in the future.

After all, isn't every ROM for every phone, even bloated AT&T stock, based on AOSP at some point in its history?

[/soapbox]

Personally I hope he does get rewarded for all his hard work with a job at Google as a Devloper, just means he will have better tools to make us such fantastic ROMs !!!
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
So i tried out the Odin flash method linked in the OP. I liked to how everything responded on my Captivate, but I could not find a way to access CWM to install the update. I've flashed back to stock until someone can help me flash V4. I honestly never use the GPS or any other radio functions other than wifi and data/voice. Since those are fixed I'd consider V4 to be usable for me...as soon as I can get help flashing it.
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
That's not actually how this testing version works. I've found the best writeup (simply because it's more annotated) is from supercurio himself:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877800

I momentarily spazzed out because I couldn't get su to work in adb - I forgot that I hadn't re-enabled it via permissions since I last flashed :-P and I didn't notice the prompt.

On a side note, I realize that boot animations can be customized, but there was nothing quite like seeing the nexus boot animation on my Captivate for the first time today.
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
Wow... the progress is faster than I thought it would be. These guys really know their stuff. If Samsung is watching, offer these guys a job! :)
[Captivate Android Development] nbs11:
What exactly isn't working at the moment?
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
GPS and GPU acceleration as far as I know. I'm just following the thread, not going to touch the rom until it is complete.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
GPS, Camera, and other stuff I'm sure. It's still a ways from being stable, but at least it's starting to work.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
This is the write up I used. I put the system dump on my sdcard, completed the walk through by supercurio and flashed the kernel through odin. After this I could test things out but didn't have the wifi or data fix yet. I could not find out how to get into recovery or bootloader or anything else to install the CWM update. So after I have GB installed how do I update it with CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] andygee:

[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Where can I get the newest version where wifi works?
[Captivate Android Development] xcaliburinhand:
Captivate equivalent of V5 has been attached. Captivate equivalent includes correct sound logic.

- Wifi semi-working (tend to crash the phone on Wifi sleep timeout)

- Calls and Data working, tested with Bell Vibrant JK4 modem

- GPS working only by Wifi/Triangulation networking - No satellites.

Currently a CWM update.zip

And odinable tar

A lot of thanks should go to coolya for his great work.

Enjoy!

Thanks xcaliburinhand :)

However if you use the same sources as me, changing the Wifi .ko driver is not necessary (the build used a fixed version, same as the one on /system)

[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I tried to flash over the top of Ginger Clone 2.2 since it is JK3 with Voodoo. I used the CWM zip and I am stuck on the ATT screen so maybe you must do the entire process with ADB codes and all. I am not sure so hopefully somebody can chime in on the CWM zip process.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
If I read correctly... the zip that xcali posted is ONLY a kernel... you still have to follow the ADB process in Supercurio's post...
