Hey so do you know what the diff is b/t these ports and Darky's original? Bc I usually just drop the JL2 modem and the Speedmod kernel in the rom anyways so if those are the only things I might as well just get the i9000 one
[Captivate Android Development] xaudiblex:
Anyone else having any problems connecting to bluetooth? It was working in 7.7 but not in 7.8...
[Captivate Android Development] staticx2601:
ok, i got a few problems. First off, i was having problems with my phone while on darky's 7.0.1. it was force closing the launcherpro and alot of other apps. managed to get that deleted, but still force closing apps constantly. so i decided reflash. noticing that darky had 7.8 out, i got that instead. so i downloaded it, moved it to sd card, booted into recovery, wiped the data/factory reset and flashed 7.8.

it booted up fine and seemed to be working well. very nicely and fast too. so went and downloaded my apps. one of them being "better keyboard". my first problem, i was using that keyboard and while i was running slacker radio in the background, i went to the market to get an app and went to type in the name and it froze and i pressed home. it went home and was at the screen, the keyboard was still up with no way of going away so i reset the phone and removed the app.

next, since i reflashed the phone to get rid of the problems i was having with apps force closing, i got an error to force close an app that was running and it popped up again for google maps and then mail. i reset the phone. (i did not backup and restore any data or apps from the previous version). so every now and then it will force close apps. any idea what that might be? would it be my phone since it was doing that before/should i reflash it another way?

other then those problems, this rom runs very smoothly and fast. probaly the best rom so far. i still get the battery draining fast but there doesnt seem to be anything i can do about that now. even tryed a new battery. but thanks if you read this far and for any help on these issues.:D
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
That seems to be my impression as well - Use the latest i9000 rom's zip and update modem/kernel for captivate support and use the rest as is.

Does the "porting" involve a few other steps like updating the fingerprint, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
I just flashed Darky for the first time. I odin one clicked to stock and then flashed this rom (was on axura). I have a problem though. Whenever I get a call, my cell signal dies and I get a notification that my phone is "refreshing sim data". It rings for about 2 seconds then I lose the call and service for about 10 seconds. Really not good to have a phoneless phone :p Did I miss a step? I'm on AT&T.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Most likely or anyone would do it
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Figured as much. Also noticed that the i9000 rom doesn't flash an Sbl.bin whereas the ports seem to.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I just replace kernel and modem...doing it since 7.7 and never had any problem....

anyways i have to flash kernel over the port also as i like speedmod kernel....better then xcul's kernel....
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
tried to install 7.8 after flashing to stock.

i heard all the voodoo announcements including the final one that lagfix is active, however it will not boot past the i9000 screen. Tried 3x after flashing to stock first
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
looks like i have the same issue with 'darkytt3r_v7.8_BLN_voodooOn.zip'.
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
'v7.7_BLN_voodooOn' seemed to work well. after a days use, i didn't notice any issues. the v7.8 seems to have an auto rotate issue. this time, it doesn't rotate under any circumstances.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
since 7.5 ive always flashed xcal's #100 kernel right after first full boot of darky

never had a problem with rotate.

on that note, each release shows even better battery life, its nuts ive never seen this before on ANY android phone ive had. major props for darky making such an amazing rom and to this OP for porting this for us captivate users!
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
nice tip. i'll look into it. just to confirm, you're using [kernel][froyo] I9000 reoriented v2.3.0 12.23.2010, from xcaliburinhand?
[Captivate Android Development] y_argon:
New to the captivate still undecided to keep using it or go back to my nexus one but this Rom works pretty good for me except for couple issues. Incoming text messages are 5 hours behind in time stamp. Have to use SMS Time Fix from the market to fix it. and bluetooth in my car keeps disconnecting. seems bluetooth on this rom is buggy. Also it says CAN Rogers Wireless. thats new to me use to just seeing Rogers.
[Captivate Android Development] xaudiblex:
8.0

Darky is at it again! 8.0 for Galaxy S was just released today!
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
yes the one with voodoo enabled
[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:

Reson of flash was becose phone go to shutdown after sleep
[Captivate Android Development] mightyfreak:
Thnx for your answer,

but it doesn't work , it seems the phone is dead.

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I got another question. Does your phone have the "separate" Up and Down Vol. button? Mine does and the 1st time I tried to get to download mode I wasn't holding both of them down at the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] mightyfreak:
No I don't have the separate buttons.

greetz
[Captivate Android Development] justdrew:
does anyone have any issues with usb mounting of the external sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I only have had my phone for a Month and what I have told you is all I know to do. I am sure the more experienced guys here will have other ideas. I hate to hear your problem because I am on 7.01 now and was going to try 7.5 today. I have went to Stock a time or two and have flashed 6.03 and 7.01 and all went well but I am going to hold off for a while until I see if you get your problem resolved.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I think he said he is on on I9000 and this rom is for cappys. That could be the problem bud.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
He did say he had a Galaxy S but not model I bet you correct that this is the cause of his problem
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
I have flashed all the Darky ports in order from day 1, and have never had an issue on my Captivate.

As long as you follow the instructions (which are pretty user friendly) you will be OK.

As for the troubles that mightyfreak has, I am not sure of the issue. If they ported a Cappy ROM to their I9000, it might account for the troubles.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Thats' the thing. This rom is ported FROM the I9000 TO the captivate. So I dno what makes someone think this would work for an I9000. They just don't read.
[Captivate Android Development] mightyfreak:
Ok I don't I read well :( , but is there a solution for my problem.

thnx anyway

greetz
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
He said he doesn't have separate volume buttons, so I don't think he has a captivate.

In any case, can you (mightyfreak) get into download mode?
[Captivate Android Development] gerc86:
Ok, GPS its not working anymore after 7.5 update, any fix?
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
Same problem with failed GPS here. Hope there is a fix coming soon. Thanks for the effort.
[Captivate Android Development] mightyfreak:
I'll put my dumb mistake in Q&A , all THNX voor taking the time

[Captivate Android Development] galt007:
I've had the same exact problem as well...I've done a Master Wipe and re-flashed and it hasn't resolved that issue. While I'm on a call, the Home Button doesn't work and allow me to do anything on the phone except to be on the call.
[Captivate Android Development] kr3w1337:
Absolutely no problems after wipe, had huge force close and GPS issues without wiping from version 7.

Now everything is back to normal, at least coming from Toronto Canada. Oh, I did have to remove maps and reinstall it from market for it to start behaving.
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
Only option I can think of is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551

Its a home made jig, that does work. you can even do this without soldering, we just twisted the resisters together.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
You said that a wipe DID fix your issues? I'm actually having the GPS problem too, and I'm not sure the cause of it. I even wiped before flashing...
[Captivate Android Development] kr3w1337:
Yeah first I did wipe and then tried it, it wasn't playing along so I reinstalled maps then ran lbs and changed the supl settings and then set it to ms-based. It's getting location now.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
I have this issue as well.

EDIT> I found a fix for it:

[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
Hi Darky, i love the ROM. It's freaking smooth and fast. But i have problem with my HOME button. It wouldn't quit any apps when i press it, and it function the same as the BACK button.

Occasionally no sound played from the mp3 files.

Is this a bug or a feature?
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
I think I understand. :confused:

You had v7.7 and the phone would shut down after full charge?

You flashed new ROM and did not disable the lagfix.

You returned to Recovery Mode after the flash and selected "reboot now"

Your phone does not power on and is completely dead?

Is this correct?
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Hmm, I have an interesting problem. When I restore missing apps using Titanium Backup after a fresh install of any Darky ROM, my Market app reverts back to the old one I saw with Eclair for some reason, even though there isn't anything related to the Market in my backup selection.

This old market simply doesn't work. Apps download, but do not install, app updates do not work. 'Upgrade stock apps' in SGS Tools and reflashing the ROM do not fix the issue, only a full data wipe does. Is there any way to get my new market back and still be able to restore my apps?
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
For the record, I am having a tremedous amount of issues with this ROM and the kernel from Glitterballs.

I've had a lot of success with Darky/ytt3r ports for the Captivate, but the last few days have been.....rocky, to say the least.

I think I'm going to maybe try a change of pace and see how the other side lives.

It's always best to experience everything before making a final decision, right? :)
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
There seems to be major confusion here and people saying "nothing is wrong" or "mine works fine", but their auto rotate doesn't work and they are happy with that. That IS NOT working fine. It may however be working fine to that user, but it misleads new users and pros alike as to wtf is wrong with mine then?

If your auto rotate does not rotate or is in landscape then you flashed a rom that was NOT ported for the captivate such as the i9000. Darky's ROMs ANY of them that are NOT listed HERE under the Captivate Android Development section may have issues because they ARE NOT specifically for CAPTIVATES.

People or at least the one's with obvious issues using a i9000 rom on a cappy get excited and see Darky's New Rom Version when they search or for whatever reason but fail to look at what section they are actually downloading from it appears. I KNOW because I did so myself when I first came here, I knew nothing about "ported" and just saw Galaxy S roms and went for it.

Many of us tweak the roms to our liking but I think that we should say that something doesn't work if it doesn't, even if it's fine by us. A lot of folks state "blah blah blahs not working but it's not an issue to me" that's perfectly stated, to me anyway.

READ the change logs if you want to know what is different, it's all there for us.

I'm no expert at all but I learned by reading and doing things myself afterwards, even making mistakes, "SOFT BRICK" Done That!, "AutoRotate fubarred" Done That Too!. I'm lazy as they come also but I know that the time it takes for me to UTFSE I can have the answer to my question that's probably been answered a hundred times.

I'll make it easy for those that still have problems finding the correct sections:

BOOKMARK THEM!

If you are looking for latest ROMS, Kernals etc. for your Captivate bookmark this link: CAPTIVATE ANDROID DEVELOPMENT

You want to know what's DIFFERENT between rom versions look here: CHANGE LOG BACK TO 7.5

You want to go back further than 7.5 here ya go: CHANGE LOGS 7.02 AND BEYOND

Those have saved me on more than one occasion and I hope this helps out. A huge thanks to the usual suspects that continue to help out here for these roms and the entire community you know who you are. :p

Sorry if it appears to be a rant, just trying to help

[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
You can find the apk on xda and manually install it or use the themed markets found at the link and flash them with clockwork. I use the blue so I can confirm they work.

[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Hmm...even overwriting the Vending.apk file from Darky's wipe version doesn't seem to give me the new market. I'm talking about the one with the new, silver layout, that doesn't leave app pages when I click install. The regular green market doesn't work for me, because the app page doesn't show 'Downloading...' most of the time, and therefore the app never installs (even if the notification bar shows the app downloading).
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
thanks, flashed the emerald one and its working nice and fits the rom perfectly!
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Have you tried to use MARKET FIX in SGS Tools yet? Launch SGS Tools and it's near the bottom with a star next to it.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Yea, makes no difference. Actually, after talking to my friend with a Nexus One, the silver interface seems to be the OLD market, whereas this green and white one is the new one that is automatically installed by Market Updates. For some reason, the old market works perfectly for me, but I can't get this new one to work at all. It corrupts my apps if I try to update them through this market.
[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:
Yes! All right. I do all as write in instruction

People`s from 4pda.ru write it is may problem from SBL.bin from folder update, becouse not correct change bootloader
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
OK try this.

Settings>>Applications>>>Manage Applications>>>All

Download Manager>>Clear Data

Go to Market,Clear Data,Clear Cache (if need), and Uninstall Updates.

Force Stop Market then go back to Home screen.

Reboot and wait for Market notify you that updates are available, if no notification in 5-10 minutes launch Market from Apps tab on home screen.

Install the Updates from Market and Reboot.

Let us know if that works.

[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:
I download again original Darky for I9000 he is not have SBL.bin why?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
The question should be placed in the forum where you DL the rom "i9000" but I believe that the i9000 has a different method to the Captivates SBL.
[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:
I am not accuse same body but I think before to release version must to test it
[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:
Yes you right about 3b fix ,but very easy it do from recovery mode, but not do bootloader from RIFFBOX
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Check inside the Updates folder for the sbl.bin.
[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:
Yes in update folder have SBL.bin

I am not first wright about bricked status from Darky`s image for captivate. I read this problem below.If you are understand why is Bricked let me now
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Maybe you dl a NO WIPE version and it's not necessary it maybe uses your old sbl.bin? :confused:

I'm interested myself and looking for an answer.

EDIT:

So it's there than?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I have not had a problem with bricking with any of the roms from Darkytt3r since I started back before 7.0.1. I have on other roms though however.
[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:
Ok.

First I am flash I9000 Darky 7.7v install form CWM I9000_reoriented_v2.2.4.zip

Install lanquage for hebrew/arabic ver.7.7

Use it 2 days but thise version go to shutdown after slip. I have lost call.

After thise I download ver.7.7 for captivate. through cwm i do wipe for previous ver. not disable lagfix flash ver. darkytt3r_v7.7_BLN_voodooOn.zip

after finish phone reboot to cwm and I go to "reboot now" it is all. phone is go to brick. Battery was full
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I installed the I9000 ROM version 8.0, Speedmod kernel and the JL3 modem. Battery life and performance are the best I've ever gotten except...my phone now has random standby death issues :(

Are there any differences between the I9000 version and the Captivate port that could possibly account for this?

Edit: It seems that my phone's IMEI is in the range with potential for the random shutdown issue. Bummer :( I wonder if AT&T will replace my Captivate, since I have a batch 1010 phone that cannot be flashed back to stock JF6 by any method.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I almost all the time grab the roms from the i9000 and run oced kernels without issues so no,I wouldnt think the ROM has to do with it..sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I forgot to reply. Yea, that did the trick, thanks :)

Now I have to deal with my phone being afflicted by the random shutdown issue :( I wonder the risk of trying to replace a phone running a non-stock ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Greatminds:
Installed this ROM yesterday night and am very impressed. Seems stable..performs really well compared to the ones I used before. The ROM has everything I need. The GPS is excellent..locks in abt 5 seconds. All I had to do was change the server to north america using sgs tools and delete gps data, reboot. Everything works..the battery seems to be good. Great ney speed..getting around 950 kbps net speed (without wireless network).

Thank you so much for this ROM. Overall this is a kick ass ,hamds down ..the best so far and am staying with this. I'll definitely make a good donation.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
So far so good. Just flashed, only gripe so far is that its a tad slow compared to stock with voodoo, but that might be because its syncing. Also when I connect my phone to charge, the battery just sticks at 4/5, even if the battery is 75
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
u have to enable the voodoo, it comes with voodoo disable.....just reboot into recovery and reinstall update.zip...u will get voodoo

always flash with battery at 100%...

u can try this: charge ur phone till it says battery is full, unplug now

reboot into recovery>>advance>> wipe battery stats>> go back>>reboot now>> charge upto 100%

It worked for me, I am not claiming it shud work for u...but give it a try...also read original thread of darky's room...there is a section on battery...read that...
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
buddy wipe/non wipe version is for flashing new version of SAME ROM....i dont think u can consider I900's rom and captivate rom same version....There is some differences thats why yttr is making so much efforts to port it for us....IMO u shud have flashed to stock master clear and then flash captivate port

I dont think u have bricked ur phone...did u try to boot it into download mode? try ODIN one click flash to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] bamjoe:
I am going to be flashing this ROM today and adding hardcore's kernel. What modem is recommended? Right now I am looking at TLJL3. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] niko_1:
It is full bricked not respond no one of bottoms. I know because it is second time

I speak today with users from 4pda.ru most people gripe on Darky after 6.0 where have SBL.bin file in update folder most people get bricked phone
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I thought with new Darky's ROMs that Voodoo now enabled with Flash and you had to Disable it if you didn't want it. I may have misread something though.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
JL3 or JK4 modem will work - I personally get better signal strength with JL3 but of course YMMV
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
are you using an actual i9000 phone? if so, that is why you should not have flashed this rom!
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I didnt realize thats why you flash with 100% always. But voodoo is enabled. Even the file says voodooon. My quadrant score is 1600. It used to be 1800 with stock + voodoo.

I've run into issues with the maps application force closing randomly, even if its not running. IDeas?

Nevermind: Just uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixed it I think.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
If i have any FC issue, i flash to stock and master clear and reflash again...or always use wipe version...

from darky's original thread from I900 galaxy s

"11. The first boot will take some time (up to 5-10 minutes) as the ROM will de-odex and zipalign.

Voodoo won't get activated by default since v6.0!"

also in 8.0 change log he specifically says voodoo still disabled...
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
umm u have already bricked one phone still u didnt play safe? why did u flash port rom on I900's rom with wipe?

It doesnt make sense...i think i m missing something here..
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
If you want a working version, do you flash i9000's rom 8.0, then flash with xcalibur's 2.3.0 .zip? (I have a captivate) Are there any other steps required?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I just want everyone to know that I upgraded from 7.7 to 7.8 without wiping and it worked perfectly and I have no problems what so ever.

I did not flash any other rom or modem or kernel as yttr works very hard to make sure this all works and by not messing around I have a perfect working phone!

One thing is that the file says voodoo on so why are you guys saying it is off?

Darky on cappy 7.8
[Captivate Android Development] FeO2:
From ytt3r's changelog of 7.6:

Darky's i9000 rom has voodoo disabled by default. ytt3r's modified darky rom for the Captivate has voodoo enabled by default.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
How can we confirm that Voodoo is enabled?
[Captivate Android Development] yoni45:
A bit new, so please forgive my ignorance... ^_^

If I'm coming from Phoenix ROM, would I be able to run through this with no-wipe? I know for that rom they suggest going all the way back to stock and master-clearing; is that not necessary here?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I think is always safe to Wipe and maybe even go back to Stock if you going from one Custom Rom to another(IMO). My only Custom ROM has been Darky's and I have only had to Wipe one time when I couldn't receive calls.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
I think it's better to wipe in this case since they may be using different kernels and therefore different lag fixes which are probably incompatible.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I would say to back up your apps move them to a external drive if you can and wipe this way you can be sure that there won't be any conflicting issues.
