This community has just received a +1 by having you around.

Nice work with the vids and pretty informative for people looking to get details and previews before flashing. I'm just going to go around thanking your posts.

Hopefully people can recognize the amount of time that you're putting into this stuff and be thankful that you have a Captivate in your hand.
[Captivate General] Infiniti350GT:
Lovin the videos and website. Thank you for the time you are putting into this I think you have something great going here. If you & DG ever decide to get different phones or leave the Galaxy S community I will defiantly follow.
[Captivate General] randomafk:
Great videos, but noob question.

How are the roms that different from each other?

Most of them seem to be running similar kernels and you can still flash whichever ones you want for lagfix or OC/UV.

Do they mostly differ in terms of appearance/default apps? How about speed/performance?
[Captivate General] comdei:
You messed up the video!

the left phone has 3.0( due to themed google search)

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to help guys out like me who are new to running roms on Android. Coming from the WM world running roms Android is a little different. Thanks.
[Captivate General] NISMOFO:
I agree with the others....you are an extremely informative android user that really puts a lot of time/effort into helping others. Rather than reading through pages of random threads, we are now fortunate to have an organized and more media driven form of communication thanks to you.
[Captivate General] geokilla:
Would it be possible in the future to compare ROM features instead of old ROM with new ROM? Like say compare Serendipity with Cognition?
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
I think this is a good idea. The reason I have not/may not do this is I don't want to really match up ROM's head to head. Each developer works hard for their work and I'd rather users make their own opinions than have me lead them to a certain one based upon my opinion. You know what I mean? I enjoy comparing the developers personal roms against their older ones but I don't want to be the voice when matching up developers. Because in the end they all have something to offer!

FIRST POST:

Thank you very much for these vids... they helped alot in making a decision for a ROM. I have been lurking this forum with out an account for a month or two. I finally decided I wanted Froyo.... SO...

I had to choose Cognition 4 because I like stability, over speed and sound. Uploaded 4.1 and then 4.2 came out later today. Got voodoo added plus SPEED.

4.1 - 13.9 flops

4.2 - 17.8 flops WOW!!!
[Captivate General] simple man:
Check this one out I came from Cognition 3.04 to Serendipity, just wanted the 2.2.1 features.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WJ1bVErzJs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Captivate General] SladeZero:
Oh boy do I love black themed stuff... but they killed it with the orange. Orange is my worst color next to pink. BUT there is a red theme. Other than that... Nothing else caught my eye.

After flashing COG 4.2 My GPS locks in 3 secs!!! I am liking Voodoo sound control... I wanted it from the first time I laid eyes on it. Only one prob. I will post on COG thread after I get 10 posts.
[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
Can we expect a Precision 3.5 review anytime? I'd love to see it in action before flashing it.
[Captivate General] DAGr8:
Wow how would XDA allow donations link , and prevent promotion of there site via youtube (since these youtube videos are pointing at roms available only HERE on XDA ) he is tagging his videos with his products doing everyone a favor at the same time, him XDA and rom Devs.. If someoen is not happy about it he can do the same but complain about it that dont make sense, we might as well complain at everyone promoting there paid market apps on XDA , wether there apps are fee or not , nothing say they will stay free forever ....

/end rant

Edit :

on second thought , my rom isnt even being reviewed f*** this guy ban his @$$

lol
[Captivate General] kitesurfer345:
Really sorry to hear that. I really appreciated your posts and even bought one of your gigs. Your videos are really helpful, nice to look through quick vids of 5 roms before picking the one to install and then have step by step instructions. The guides you offer are of great benefit to the android community, keep it up.

XDA Devs, imho MTV posts were the single biggest help in me learning to put roms on my captivate and if he throws a 3 second "hey if you wanna help me out you can buy my jig" its not a big deal. Android is about a community working together and helping each other, lets put egos aside and encourage ppl that put in the time to create awesome easy to follow guides that grow our community. Just my 2 cents. Thx.
[Captivate General] GSMinCT:
Wow, that sucks. Your videos helped me device what ROM I wanted for my Captivate (Serendipity).
[Captivate General] illmac:
that sucks! this thread was a big reason as to why i chose to buy a captivate! AND i bought one of his jigs haha
[Captivate General] captican:
That Sucks

As previously stated by many others, the main reason I view XDA is to learn from your videos. Sort of like a gateway to learning about all the ROMS, etc. My guess is that XDA's traffic will drop as a result of how they responded to this person's complaint. I will look for your site on the Web.
[Captivate General] GSMinCT:
I don't know about traffic dropping, but it definitely is a really dumb way to deal with one whiner.
[Captivate General] allambition:
Sorry to see your videos taken down - I thought they were helpful and you weren't solely out for profit or anything. Sad to see but I suppose they had to make a judgement call about what is best for the community, other members, etc. Its hard with such a large community to make everyone happy, thanks for the videos though.
[Captivate General] zigc:
n00b here.

just wanted to say that your videos have been so helpful. just got my cappy last month and thanks to your help, I've already flashed a handful of roms and kernels. you made it so easy and while it's sad to see that you won't be able to post your links here, i'm glad that you have a website of your own that all of us can turn to in times of need.

cheers to you bro!
[Captivate General] GSMinCT:
The videos helped me a lot, as I could find the one that I wanted (turned out to be Serendipity not Cognition) and flash it without much hassle, without flashing multiple ROMs. Thanks again!
[Captivate General] Ginther:
+1 more.

Your vids have been a tremendous asset to this community! Without your vids I would have never been confident enough to try modding my phone.

Again, thank you for your hard work. Dont let a cry baby or two (or more) get you down.

[Captivate General] ktmanxda:
These videos people raving about.. they pulled totally off net or just here? Can't we just subscribe directly via youtube? Exact name please..

Far as review goes..my first choice at custom rom install I went with Andromeda3. Seems speedy and way more stable than eclair or froyo was. I like that team Komin's attention to security and considerations of novice users. Most amazing so far has been the battery time. I am up to 41+ hours at 38% left on first charge (minimal use).
[Captivate General] erad1:
...easily one of the most useful and a very practical resource thread for any Captivate user interested in flashing ROMS. This helped my flashing decisions often. Sorry to see them pulled but I am obviously still a subscriber to your RIAF site!
[Captivate General] GSMinCT:
Yeah, he was doing a great review every week, and I'd rather see an ad for a related product that the community is actually interested in than some random ad like some YouTube videos have now...

Cognition 4.3.2

Thanks DG for all the amazing work on the ROMs. Absolutely love Cognition. I have flashed about 5 versions of Cognition and am currently running the latest one (4.3.2). Love the Cog4 boot-up screen and the voodoo voices. It also has the Plumbob GPS fix installed for better GPS accuracy and functioning and also the Voodoo lag fix activated. You can read more about it on the Cog 4.3.2 thread.

Cheers
[Captivate General] Xtracter:
free post.
[Captivate General] splitnail:
I have used virtually every ROM available for the captivate and hands down the "all around" winner is Mosaic. They did a beautiful job designing it. Flashing to gingerbread isn't as scary as people make it out to be. Just read, read and read again. You really should take the jump if you haven't yet. One click will take you right back if you don't enjoy it.. which i highly doubt :D
[Desire HD General] asimriz:
Hello people,

The CPU frequency on my DHD becomes stable at around 300MHz. Y is that ? The DHD has a 1GHz processor yet it doesn't consume at least most of it for better performance. Is root the only solution to my problem ?

Is there an average CPU frequency on DHDs ?
[Desire HD General] leppie:
How do you come to that conclusion/statement?
[Desire HD General] tvoben:
When u mean stable?

What do you mean with stable? does it freeze or reboot on anyother freq?

Yes the Desire HD has a 1Ghz cpu, but that doesnt mean it runts on 1Ghz, it means its the max it runs.. its going up and down from 248 to 1024mhz all the time, depending on stress.. if it would be at 1024mhz 24/7 the battery would end faster than you´d like it...

And yes, its possible to control this settings through rooting and setCPU
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
The cpu is 1ghz but it throttles back to save power all cpus Do this. If you open a monitoring application chances are it sees the throttled speed and reports that first as the upclock is delayed
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
As tvoben said, the processor frequency is variable depending upon the load. The CPU will only be at 1 GHz only when it needs to, e.g. games, videos etc. Most of the idle time, the CPU should be at a low frequency.
[Desire HD General] l0w:
Yes its when it gets stuck at 1 ghz at 100% that u need to start to worry. HTC kindly allowed many users to exprerience the impact this has on battery life with the recent ota update.
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
DHD usually runs at 681.87 MHz. When needed the clock speeds jumps to 1GHz.
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
Feel free to just "duhh" my post but I just noticed that I've always been holding my tab in what I believe is the wrong position, when in landscape mode. The correct position should be with the soft buttons on your left (of course if you are right handed). This way you will avoid to hit the buttons with the fat part of your hand when holding it with one hand only. It's also easier to use the soft buttons with your left hands, which is free.

You can start flaming me now :D
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
Well, I am right handed and I hold it in my left hand with the soft buttons on the right.

But then when I use the phone I hold it in the left hand with the soft buttons at the top, speakers near my ear and the screen against my cheek.

My problem is I keep covering the camera with my left forefinger and knocking the auto light control out of whack, lol
[Galaxy Tab General] snudel:
i am right handed. hold it in the left hand with soft buttons on the right.

so you dont cover the light sensor.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Im right handed, so in landscape mode the buttons on the right, in portrait mode the buttons at the bottom, i dont hold the phone up to my face for calls because you look like a retard, i use headphones or headset
[Galaxy Tab General] alfrediio:
aleluya!! you are right!
[Galaxy Tab General] mjduke:
If you're holding it with the soft buttons on the left, then you are playing angry birds upside down and you'll never win.

Seriously, if i hold it with my right hand, i wedge it in my palm and put my thumb on the top right edge.

Most of the time it's in landscape though my zenus case kickstand is holding it up, not me.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
I just changed my bootup screen and added sound to it, but I have run across a glitch and I dont know if its something I did, or because we are now using Nand.

I installed Motomans boot animation screen to the desire dft build, and the droid sound, but the sound file will play thru, but the animation doesnt. I know I have read for other phones, people only getting one or the other to work, but I got both, the sound clip is 10sec long, and from my gathering the animation is approx 30 second long, but it doesnt play that long. They start together,but once the sound file is done 2 seconds later the screen is at the lock screen. I also tried a longer sound file thinking that might have caused it, so I added a 30 sec sound file, but still in about 12 seconds they both stop and the system is loaded.

Does anyone have a clue what I might be doing wrong if anything? Just an FYI, if I play the animation by itself, then it will run the full 30 seconds alone, and I am assuming the 30 second sound file will too alone.

If anyone can shed some insight that would be great.

Here you go...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmyug5tobmo. It worked for me. I already had a SGP protector on and I didn't want to take it off although I have heard the protector that comes with the ballistic is matte and eliminates that oil slick effect.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kakashi_s1:
cool thanks! I just applied the film protector on me evo and that did the trick. I kind of don't like the gloss on the projector but if I end up taking it off, I'll try the baby powder method

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsune_snake:
allright so I tried out a miui rom, was awesome but I missed the htc dialer and contact so I nandroid'd my old rom and state (leedroid 2.3). After an hour the nandroid wasn't done so I took out my battery and turned on my phone and it was back on miui but the touchscreen wasn't working anymore (slightly scared) so I flashed telus RUU and re-nandroid my backup (leedroid) the phone could turn on and android was able to boot (touchscreen was working fine), but I had no more service so I thought if I flash a new rom maybe it will be back to a clean state with no problem. I just flashed latest leedroid and now my phone wont make it pass the splash screen...

so to sum it up...

How do I make it work normaly again?

I'm pretty confortable with abd command, I have a gold card (it's not my main sd card though) I'm willing to try anything as long as I can have my baby back =(

Hello,

I am wondering, since the ROM's do need to be signed, if you build a ROM using the NBHUtil's, will it still be valid on a stock, non-SuperCID X5700(5701,5710)?

Just a quick thought :)
