Fastest ROM for Captivate? topic




Hi all, Just getting back into the Android scene and wondering what in your opinion is the fastest stable mod for this old beast? I need to use it for a couple months while I wait for my contract to end. I currently have Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 RC2 and it seems a bit sluggish.





old captivate question topic




In January of 2011, I rooted and unlocked my Samsung Captivate running Android 2.2. Now that I have upgraded to a new/different phone, I want to factory reset my Captivate before giving it away. I was looking on my PC for my unlock code, in case the factory reset re-locked the phone, but could not find it. I tried to get the code again from my phone using the "SuperOneClick" app, but when I ran it it failed. It gave me the following message:

OK

Waiting for device...

OK

Preparing to copy nv_data.bin to sd...
rm failed for /sdcard/nv_data.bin, Read-only file system


OK

Copying nv_data.bin to sd...
cannot create /sdcard/nv_data.bin: read-only file system


OK

Pulling nv_data.bin...
remote object '/sdcard/nv_data.bin' does not exist

OK

Reading nv_data.bin...
Unlock code: FFFFFFFF
FAILED

So, my question is really this. Will factory reset re-lock the phone?

[UPDATED][2014][How-to]Everything need to know about Captivate Glide topic




Hello, I see a lot of people wondering how to root the captivate glide and wondering what ROMS are active ect.

[ROOTING]
If you are on 2.3.4 android firstly, Update to official ICS 4.0.4 via ODIN(If you rooted on 2.3.4)(if you are following this guide please use Bubor's TWRP as it is needed for KitKat ROMS) or Kies(if you are not rooted)
You should now be fully updated and rooted!!!
------------------------
[FLASHING]

Here is a list of currently active ROMS (as of 1/24/14)
(Basically all Bubor's work go thank him)
-----------------------------------------------
CyanOgenMod 11 (KitKat 4.4.2)
OMNI ROM (Kitkat 4.4.2)
P-A-C Man ROM (Jelly Bean 4.3.1)
CyanOgenMod 10.2.0 (Jelly Bean 4.3.1)
OMNI ROM (JellyBean 4.3.1)

for older ROMS see this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1621350
------------------------------
[HOW TO FLASH VIA TWRP] (which you should have!!!!)
If you already flashed a custom recovery to your phone via odin heres what you do:
1: save all data, shutdown your phone
2: hold vol down and power
3: let go of power
4: your phone should now say "booting into android recovery"
5: you should now be in recovery
6: firstly, click "Backup"
7: Back up the desired Partitions
8: Swipe to Back Up
9: Let back up complete (can take some time depending how much stuff is backing up)
10: Return to the main menu
11: Locate "Wipe"
12: Swipe to Factory Reset (before you freak out it DOES NOT WIPE YOUR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SD CARDS!)
13: Locate "Install'
14: Find your ROM (if you downloaded your ROM from your phone it is usually in /sdcard/download)
15: "Swipe to install zip"
16: Let your ROM install (it will take some time)
17: Congratulations you have a new ROM on your Cappi!
[F.A.Q]
Q: A new update has been released for my phone do I need to Factory Reset my phone?
A: No just flash on top of it but make a backup first just in case the update has problems

Q: I'm coming from a different ROM (like OMNI ROM) can I restore my /Data or flash on top of my current ROM?
A: No, if you are doing something like that I would use Titanium Backup to backup your data and apps

Q: I'm coming from stock do I need to unlock my bootloader to install custom ROMS?
A: No all you have to do is have a custom recovery and you're good to go!

Q: I see I need to backup my EFS, is it really necessary?
A: Not really but, its not a bad idea to do it see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2019540

Q: Do I need to flash any Custom Kernels, GAPPS ect.?
A: All the ROMS I posted have everything you need built in
