Thanks for your suggestion. However, the Darky v8.1 was downloaded from Page 1 of this topic, as you could see the build number was 'Darky & ytt3r's v8.1'. So, it's from ytt3r for i897.

Thanks anyway but any solid suggestion? Thanks!

could not flash rom because could not install correct cwm recovery

plz help need cwm recovery for i9010
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I got no clue about this so don't laugh. I see you in Hong Kong is your Server AT&T? I thought Captivate was a AT&T phone. Maybe you need i9000 ROM. Like I said don't laugh.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
I only had one problem when I first flashed. Didn't reconize my sim card and I had trouble.setting it up.

I think I have it straightened out now and everything works just fine.

Before the similar fix the GPS was insane but it went back to normal. Lol
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
I had to enable packet data which I hope is ok then I set it to scan networks and it gave me both Att and T-Mobile as a option. I hope I did it right. LOL
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
You did fine but the Scan for Network setting will use some battery if you Big into getting as much Battery Life as you can.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
This phone has unlimited possibilities and I'm well aware it's gonna eat the battery up and I'm fine with that :)

Well not really but what can ya do! :D
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I am with you on the Battery. I only need the phone too run from say 8am to 12am and then I plug it in at night....:D
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
The only drawback I have so far is that the screen seems to dark to me and its gonna take some getting used to
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
That's an issue with the kernel. The next version will include the fix.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
And while we are on the subject is there a solid way of recalibrating the battery for peak performance? I've found nothing but a couple of different ways to do so....
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I use Speedmod Kernel with the 4 recommended Tweaks then I do this:

1. Charge your battery to 100%

2. Flash the rom of your choice

3. Add everything you intend to add, kernal,modem whatever.

4. Boot into recovery or go to sgs tools and wipe your battery stats file

5. Put your phone on wall charger and charge to 100% and turn off phone

6. continue charging with power off until the phone notifys to disconnect charger, unplug charger and plug it back in immediately.

7. Battery should continue to charge again, and notify to remove charger, repeat the unplug plug in process, do this about 4 times

8. reboot your phone and wipe the battery stats again and reboot the device once again.

9. Let your battery run down all the way until it actually shuts itself off

10. Re charge your battery to 100% again wipe battery stats and reboot you should be golden now.

You can skip Steps 2 and 3 if you not Flashing. This seems to give me my Best Battery. I have Noticed it drops to low 90's kind of Fast then really slows down. I had phone on 18 hrs yesterday and had 60% Battery Left.
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
upd: after installing ROM manager still 3e recovery

how to downgrade to 2e? thanx

it was so easy with i9000
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Just saw tweet from Joel...Darky 9.0 to be Final tonight for i9000.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya I'm on RC4 on my captivate this thing is insane. Does anybody know if this will be ported to the captivate or will we have too do the kernel and modem fixes on our own
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
I can't imagine ytt3r would abandon his port on the eve of the biggest Darky release yet, eh?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
The Ported one shouldn't be far behind the Final i9000 but I might just grab Final and make change myself though I usually wait until Ported is available.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Big big changes guys... get ready, its going to be insane
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Another one? Oh boy! Lol
[Captivate Android Development] GYIVIjuNkY:
the hype is killing me
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Darkyy wrote the script so that it detects your a captivate and therefore DOES NOT touch your modem or kernel. So what I did is I flashed the latest Speedmod kernel, my favorite modem, then flashed RC4 a couple days ago and everything is PERFECT, super fast and the app works now, so when the final comes out tonight I chose to have the nexus boot, no fonts, no samsung apps, and a no wipe install.

If you want to go flash the RC7 from the IRC channel and see for your self just make a nandroid back up and you'll be perfectly fine, this ROM is amazing. Ive had ZERO bugs, ZERO lag, and ZERO frustration.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Hey ytt3r would you be able to integrate the contacts mod where it only shows sent and received calls and not text messaged in the phone logs? I have searched and tried to find out how to do it myself, but have not been able to figure it out.

Or at least tell me how to get it done on my own?

Thanks.

Hmm so does it seem that we don't need ytt3r to port Darkyy for us anymore?

EDIT: It says that the mod will not touch your modem or kernel if your phone is identified as not a GT-9000, but my phone identifies itself as a GT-9000 with ytt3r's port of 8.1, so I think this will not be true for a lot of us. You need to be careful about the information you are giving out!
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
If you want to change your model number to flash this over here you go:

http://static.ficeto.com/android/test.zip

Flash that thru CWM and it will change your build.pro to the Captivate.

Then flash 9.0.

Sorry my bad that was just for every thing besides the final, the final integrated something different in the script that is my fault, but if you flash that in CWM it will change your build.prop to the Captivate.

I just did and flash 9.0 perfectly

EDIT: Darkyy also just released this Captivate Fix I used the first one that I received from ficeto but i bet they both work fine:

http://bit.ly/darkycappyfix
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
I, too, have 9.0 installed, but it took a good amount of caressing to make it workable.

Though I will say it is hands down the fastest ROM I've used. I'd recommend waiting for ytt3r's port.

Here's some notes from my experience if anybody is interested in trying it for themselves.

This time around, the install is meant to check whether you're running a Captivate; problem is, build.prop isn't always reliable and at least when I went through the process, the wipe occurred before build.prop was checked. (Oops.) Resolved by flashing speedmod kernel (yes, the Captivate version).

Also, I was getting a message from Swype about it being run on the incorrect device; got around this by installing the Swype beta, but again, a decent amount of time and effort was required.

Lots of the first flashers reported problems of a missing market, but this was resolved for me by reflashing with a file posted by ficeto on the Darky's ROM forum.

I won't list any of the small things that are bugging me since I'm not even sure I really did this "properly" to begin with.

tl;dr - 9.0 lives up to the hype, but needs ironing out for the Captivate; be prepared to tinker if you flash before ytt3r's (expected) port.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I too had problems with 9.0. Even though I applied the "Captivate Fix" as recommended before ROM Flash I never could get it going until I too Flashed the Captivate SpeedMod over it. Still had problems so I just went back to 8.1. It was late last night when all this happen so I may try again today not sure yet. There is a 9.01 already out so there were some problems with 9.0.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I dont know why y'all are having those problems I used the Captivate fix from Ficeto, flashed that, which changed my build.prop.

Then I flash the 9.0 no wipe on top of 8.1 and everything is PERFECT
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
My understanding is that you're not having the problems described because you came from 8.1 and didn't wipe. That you didn't wipe also likely explains why the captivate-fix build.prop change worked (because its changes weren't wiped before the build.prop was checked to decide on the proper kernel).

Anyway, I've got 9.0 set up and working without much a problem now, save for my Market links detaching regularly. All the same, I plan to flash with another wipe version once the fixes come out, as this is certainly a ROM I plan to use for an extended period of time.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I got no clue what Happened. I was 8.1 with SpeedMod "P". I got Darky App made sure I had No Wipe set. I booted to Recovery,ran the "FIX" Flashed the ROM everything went and then I rebooted the Phone. It seemed all went well then the phone started Rebooting itself over and over. I got to Recovery Clear Data and Davik and Flashed Captivate SpeedMod again and rebooted it seemed to do better but I tried the Market and No Market. Tried another App phone rebooted again so I just quit and re flashed 8.1. I am running Launcher Pro Plus and maybe having this going caused some Problem.. I got No clue.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I see 9.1 out. If I give it a try I guess I should run "FIX" before I Flash?

Edit: 9.2 coming
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I get an error status 0 installation aborted when I try to install 9.0... I installed the fix Darkyy Cappy fix first..... Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Not sure but what Version of 9.0 you trying? I think he has 9.1 out and doing 9.2? I want to try again because I had failure last night with Fix and 9.0 but waiting to see if same problems happen with newer updates.
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Just reboot and run the installation again.

(To reboot without pulling the battery, plug in via USB and run adb reboot recovery.)
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Yes, run it. My best results were when I flashed 9.0 over 9.0, each time running the captivate-fix but with the second flash being non-wipe, to ensure my build.prop retained the proper device, i.e., SGH-I897.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright so your on 8.1 correct?

Now download the Darky App from the market and configure what you want

Check if your settings say your build is: SGH-I897

If not apply the Ficeto or Darky Captivate fix.

Then once that boots up go back into CWM.

Flash the 9.0 with Market fix NO WIPE.

Let it do its thing

Boot up and that should fix everything, thats how I fixed my EXACT problem.

If not I spoke with darkyy there is a problem with the framework, he is doing homework right now and the latest update with the new framework which got messed with by some Mod will be out tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for the reply,something you said got me thinking. Last night when I applied the "FIX" I didn't Reboot the Phone before I Flashed the 9.0,should I have rebooted? Also concerning the Model of my phone,it is listed as GTi9000 but wouldn't anytime you Flashed a Darky's ROM it make your phone Model listed as GTi9000?
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Reboot wouldn't have mattered.

With the new ROM, your build.prop will retain SGH-I897 after flashing (or at least it's supposed to).

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
No that just changed it when you flashed this port, when the port came out the dev didnt change the build.prop.

Thats why your supposed to flash the Captivate fix from Ficeto. This will change your build.prop to the I897 like what its supposed to say.

once your build.prop says that now you can flash away because the script detects the build.prop and will put on the Captivate Speedmod and a Captivate JI6 Modem.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
OK..I am getting 9.02 now and do the Fix and Flash in few minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
ya that should fix all problems you are having keep us posted.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Dumb question but is there just the one Captivate Fix which came out last night? They haven't made a new one have they since new Darky's came out?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ficeto sent me this last night personally as me and him worked on fixing the build.prop for the people on Darkys ROMs ported to the captivate.

This worked perfectly for me:

http://static.ficeto.com/android/test.zip

Just flash that thru CWM.

If your build in the settings about phone says I897 then you'll be ready to go
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
OK...Did the Fix and Settings show 897 phone now. Charging phone now once I get to 100% I Flash the ROM. How is the Modem in 9.0 doing for you,or did you change?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Personally the modem is perfect for me, Im not having any problems with JI6, but this is personal preference im not a huge fan of matching different modems with kernels. Im getting good signal and this has been tested by me and all the other Darkyy testers that this modem works with the Speedmod kernel.

And good luck but the thing is this should work perfectly now (Thank Ficeto for this script its unbelievable) as it will detect your a captivate, then make your modem and kernel the captivate versions of each.

Then boot up but the thing that you can always feel better if for SOME reason I dont know you name it you get into a boot loop (which happened to me the first time late last night but the new fix is supposed to fix all of that), you can always flash back to 8.0 or 8.1 and try again.

Ficeto wrote an incredible script, and all the other people in Darkyy's crew and Darkyy cooked an unbelievable ROM, you will be very happy when this boots up. The fastest, most stable, and incredible my phone has ever been since the first day I got it, but unlike that day, I wont realize that its actually extremely slow, unresponsive, and buggy. : D

Good luck and Happy Flashing
[Captivate Android Development] GYIVIjuNkY:
any idea when the 9.0(2) port will be available for the captivate? i have already tried flashing to 9.02 twice from stock and i get stuck at the bootup i9000 screen
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I dont know when it will be available but I mean what you can do which has been proven to work is flash 8.1.

Download Darkyys app

Apply this Captivate fix to change your build.prop to the i897 http://static.ficeto.com/android/test.zip

Check in your settings if it the i897

Then you can flash the 9.02 right over perfectly as the script will recognize your a captivate and not an i9000, the problems people were having is if they flashed any of the other RCs besides RC4 (a bug in the script which payed dividends to captivate users) it would recognize your an i9000 and flash all the i9000 stuff thus leaving you in a boot loop. So make sure you flash the fix then if it says your build is I897 you'll be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Well Flash Failed. Was going fine said Kernel and Modem installed then got some E: error(can't remember) install aborted. Going back to 8.1.....:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Well that's really odd.

Get on the i9000 v9 IRC and talk with ficeto maybe he can help
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Mine is in a boot loop. Gets to the lock screen says there for about 30 seconds and then restarts. I was on 8.1 and I did the Captivate fix and setup the Darky app before I did the 9.0.2 flash.

I'm going back to 8.1 and I'm going to stay there unless I see several people say that this is working on their Captivate.

Oh well....
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I really do not know what to tell you im really sorry I worked with Ficeto to get it working perfectly for mine and I did those exact steps but it messed up the first time.

Then I flashed back to 8.1 then fix then app then back to 9.0 (not 9.0.2) and its worked perfectly. To be honest your further than i was I was on a boot loop i couldnt get to the lockscreen.

If you feel up to it try one last time and report back, but this time right before you flash to 9.0 wipe data and cache in CWM and see if thats any better?

Sorry man
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Here is my experience:

I have a captivate and I had flashed the new build.prop file to get it to be recognized as an 897 and then went to flash Darky over 8.1 and when it started to install the system it gave me the error E: ydaydayda name of rom file has an error status (0) installation aborted. I tried to reflash and got the same error, but this time right away.

How can I get this on my captivate?

EDIT! Ok so I let it boot up after it failed and then rebooted into recovery and re-applied the captivate fix and then reinstalled Darky's rom 9.0.2 and now it seems to have worked.... I am booting as we speak.

Even though I had no wipe it seems to have wiped my phone though so be ready for that!
[Captivate Android Development] eramming:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but the fix is doing nothing for me.i boot in to recovery select the test.zip and when the phone boots nothings changed
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
This is what I did starting from Darkys&Ytt3r 8.1

Flashed the i897 Fix - Rebooted

Installed Darkys App (not sure if required) set it up for no-wipe.

Rebooted into Recovery - Flashed Darky's 9.0.2 EE - Flashed Speedmood K12Q-T4

Rebooted (took 10mins)

Everything working

Rebooted into recovery - flashed JL2

Rebooted - Everything working

Update: KP1 modem also works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
That is the exact error message I got and it did as it did to you,started installing then got Error and Abort
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
I don't really get how to use Darky Rom Configurator. I did my settings and then I flashed 9.02. I ended up getting FCs and reboots until I manually flashed JL3 Modem and Captivate SpeedMod.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Do you need to do anything to confirm the settings in Darkys App? Or do you just set them and then you close the app and restart in recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Everything works upgrading from 8.1 to 9.02 for me EXCEPT

Swype doesn't work, can't access swype settings either.

Trying to change Lockscreen wallpaper still force closes.

Feels a bit smoother and snappier though. But... I use swype, soo... going back to 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
My plan for the port right now is to cut and paste everything from Darkyy's post to the op. I'll just update the op for new versions, as it seems that there isn't a need for a port anymore ;)
[Captivate Android Development] King Shady:
hey guys i read in darkys thread that we were supposed to flash something for the captivate before we flash the actual rom. does anyone know what i am supposed to flash before i flash 9.0? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Here it is:

http://www.multiupload.com/BWPLBQ3DKT
[Captivate Android Development] King Shady:
ok - i'm on 2.1 official eclair right now, do i need to flash darky 8.1 first and install that or can i just install that fix and then darkys 9.0? thanks so much by the way!
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Coming from 2.1 stock, the fix won't really matter; your build.prop will already contain SGH-I897 for the model, which is what running the captivate-fix.zip will set it to anyway.

All the same, run it just for posterity's sake, then install 9.0. No need at this point to go to 8.1 first.
[Captivate Android Development] magicman0:
If you're on stock, you don't need to worry about the fix, just go straight to Darky's 9.0.2, but be warned, your phone will be wiped.

The only people that need to apply the fix are people that see i9000 when they go to settings>about phone>model number. If it says SGH-I897, you don't need the fix.

For people looking to get to 9.0.2:

This is exactly what I did to get from Darky's 8.1:

-Download DarkyRom app from market(@xreflection: I didn't change anything once inside the app)

-boot into clockwork, install the fix and reboot

-checked settings>about phone to make sure it said i897 instead of i9000

-rebooted into clockwork

-installed Darky's Rom 9.0.2

-then installed speedmod for captivate(i dont think you need to do this)

-rebooted, which takes A LONG TIME

-Now im on 9.0.2
[Captivate Android Development] King Shady:
thanks for the replies guys!
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Well installing Darky 9.0.2 over 8.1 ended up soft bricking my phone in the end and not even restoring to my backup worked. I just used ODIN for my first time and I am having so many problems. My phone is boofed!

I am going to try and get back on Darky somehow... this sucks!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I just choose the settings and closed the app.

i tried installing and after like five minutes i got an "installation aborted" error, and now I've been stuck on the I-1900 boot screen for like 10 minutes.. hahah
[Captivate Android Development] eramming:
Ok I'm on 9.0 but I can't get the swype keyboard to work when I use the browser
[Captivate Android Development] eramming:
It wont work at all. The keyboard pops up them immediately drops down
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
I have that same problem.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Guys I recommend not flashing this rom untill further testing is done. It really seems that most if not all people are having problems and even those that do get it to work seem to have problems with the Market app not showing or Swype not working. I know this Rom is suppose to be a one size fits all thing but it just doesn't seem to be the case at this time. I sure it will be fixed. Last I heard Darky is taking a few days off, not sure if that mean his team is going to be offline for a few days too. I guess just wait and see...
[Captivate Android Development] eramming:
Definitely to buggy for my taste. GPS is non existant swype wont work battery life is terrible and its slower than stock. That's my observations from the first 24 hours. I have to go back to 8.1 tonight
[Captivate Android Development] GYIVIjuNkY:
hopefully 9.02 gets ported to the captivate soon...im hearing a lot of good things from the fellow i9000 users
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
After 2 "failed to install..aborts" I am just staying with 8.1 for now, it does all I want not sure what 9.0 would do for me. On a side note,the new SpeedMod Q T6 changes the Startup Splash Screen from Galaxy S i9000 to I897 for those interested.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
It seems the early Captivate adopters for Darky's 9.02 (at least the vocal ones posting here) are experiencing issues with Swype, the Market not working, and other random FC issues. Do you recommend we update to the latest version, or wait for some of these issues to be resolved?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I'm having none of these issues :confused: The market is super fast as well. As matter of fact the whole rom is faster than ever. It's really noticeable.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
What modem are most of you using with Darky's 8.1 or 9.0? I just using the one that came with 8.1(I9088ZNKP1) and wondering if there are others out there that might be better.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Do you have the lagfix enabled or disabled. Also, do you have Linpack installed? I'm curious to know what your benchmark is.

Mine on Darky's 7.5 without lagfix is 14.133
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Good Question Matt,I would like to see Linpack score for 9.0. Mine is 14.397 on 8.1 without Lagfix
