[REF] *** Captivate Bible (directory) *** [REF]

Today's to do list:

• differences between Samsung roms (jh, jm)

Stuff I'm working on long term:

• making this thing entertaining!
• all around polish and beautification

If you want to give me things to put in here, either hashtag #CappyBible or mention me on twitter: @androidrocks135. PMs on xda work too, but I'm not going to check those very much.

Hey guys, I'm making a Captivate Bible that lists all of the ROMs, kernels, and other what not so that you can look at the important stuff without having to go through and pick the things that you want to read. I will try my best to keep this constantly updated, but I AM HUMAN so there will undoubtedly be lapses. Please, kernel folks, ROM makers, everyone, let me know on twitter when you post a new thread that you think should go in the bible. My twitter is http://www.twitter.com/androidrocks135. I'll be editing this thing to make it entertaining like the one in the G1 forum, but to start off it'll be kind of plain.

To start this off, I'll go with kernels.

KERNELS

• i9000 Reoriented: http://tiny.cc/75s2i
• Unhelpful Kernel: http://tiny.cc/z16p5
• Voodoo Lagfix Kernel: http://tiny.cc/da6cr

ROMS

• AOSP FroYo Beta Molecule http://tiny.cc/f7p1f
• VanillaCaptivate (AOSP 2.1): http://tiny.cc/fu3qc (still in alpha)
• COGNITION v2.2 BETA (previously SRE by Designgears): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786532
• Frankin-Twiz: http://tiny.cc/4vc56
• Captivate-Deodexed-JH7 stock: http://tiny.cc/87wiw
• Eugene's Vibrant Hybrid R3 http://tiny.cc/43v8p
• Shep211's JPK\JI6 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803569
• Stock ROM (Odin one click): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

HACKS AND SUCH

• GPS Fix (works for me!): http://tiny.cc/uhg15
• FightSpits Evo BlackBar and Battery gauge: http://tiny.cc/v30gf
• LCD Density hack for high-res look: http://tiny.cc/dm66w

HOW-TO

• Enable Non-Market apps on Captivate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738376
• Galaxy S I9000 ROMs on Captivate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734871

OTHER USEFUL LINKS

• USB Drivers for Windows:
• 64 bit: http://tiny.cc/80pq0
• 32 bit: http://tiny.cc/eakc6
  
• One click root and unroot: http://tiny.cc/5ojv6
• Button combinations for the blessed: http://tiny.cc/q4phx
• Clockworkmod Recovery by Koush: http://tiny.cc/b9r9o
• Samsung ROMs-There are a few of these floating around. The JM series doesn't work correctly with our Captivates unless you load a new kernel. The reason being is the three buttons on the front of the i9000 vs the four on the Captivate. The JF series of firmware will work correctly (other than obvious glitches). JF7 is supposed to be released via OTA this Friday. If you're rooted, unless you are experienced with Odin, I wouldn't try it. Also, if you're running a lagfix, be sure to remove it before applying the update.

That's all for now, let me know if I missed something, if you want me to put your hack, ROM or kernel up in the bible, preferably through Twitter, but posting in this thread will work too. I'll be adding a lot more, so keep checking back.

i was just thinking today how we needed this!! It is just starting to get to the point of being too much to follow....if i were just coming into the scene now, i would not have a clue where to start and this definitely helps! Thanks man

I know, I just had to take matters into my own hands, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with this... I'll do my best! Make sure to keep checking back, I'll be adding lots of stuff over the next few days.

Add Eugene's Vibrant Hybrid R3 for the ROM section, and I would actually remove the AOSP as it really isnt a complete and fully working ROM.

Well I just want to get a solid base down before I go and do some tinkering, but thanks for feedback.

No problem.

I'd just like to see a listing of the stock Samsung ROMs, like JM6, JH7 whatever they are. I get confused as to which one was the OEM stock, and in what order they were put out.

Yeah sure, I'll handle that tomorrow.

Hey Blackjackboy, I was wondering if you could include all the different methods of getting into recovery and download mode in this thread.

When I was trying to unbrick my phone, I really needed a central place for all the different methods that had worked for people.

I think it would help a lot of people. If you want, I could start another thread, but it is already getting too crowded.

Let me know, if you need any help gathering all of that info or people could just post them here and you could add them in the first post. (hopefully, no overlaps)

In addition to posting the various firmwares available at the moment, some links to Odin (One Click and Odin3) and a quick tutorial on both? Just find one of the various Zilch posts where he's explained how to use it to someone.

A lot of questions I see are about flashing to stock or other firmwares in the various ROM threads, when that doesn't need to be explained so many times.
