i9000 Custom Roms on i897

[Jhoopes517]

Is it possible to use the Galaxy S custom roms from the i9000 forum on the Captivate?

Im new to this part of XDA, seeing as I just picked up a pretty beat up captivate for 20$.

Before I get flamed or anything, Im just asking. I searched it up and went through nine pages and found no results answering my question.

IF there is a way, may you please link me to it?

Thanks.

Yes.
But u need a "Reoriented Kernel" for the firmware of the rom u want to flash...jvr, jw4 or whatever it is.
Search in the Dev forum of the Captivate. U probably will have to go back a ways.

Yes you can , you can go with either as long as you run the proper kernel .

I9000 with I9000 , 1897 with I897

the I9000 kernel will have the home and back buttons swapped but you can install button mapper , free n the market , and reasighn them

you can also run modified JB 4 at this time , Slim Bean , X Bean so on , but you will need to install the mapper program o XBean

Because the op didn't have a cappy 3 months ago. And 3 months of time on XDA can equal to 300-400 pages of posts, or more. If he posted in the development section, then flame on. But general sections are for inquiries such as this.

This info helped me, so thanks for bringing up a 3 month old thread
