quick question about the 1.6 update

okay im sure you guys saw that 1.6 is being pushed to all tmobile g1s in the next few days (i saw it on engadget.com) my question is im rooted with cyan 4.0.4 i think. (the latest stable) and i think i want to update to that so i can have the new market. will i be able to get the update and will i be able to still use overclock widget. thanks guys!!!

umm there are already 1.6 based roms in the dev section... i would look there, i am about to give akirah's build a go.
if you flash an official update to your phone then you will lose root.

If you flash any official ROM and try to run an app that requires root it won't work as intended (the app).
How's the ROM you mention david? I was considering it myself, I've been using this current ROM for almost a day now. Need a change

i found it to be really fast (like damn fast) but i love a lot of the features in 4.1.11.1 like the lockscreen among other things. i think it is between a jf rom and a cm rom. not completely vanilla but not rocky road either its a good rom overall, but i love my features.

i still have my .zip file for cyans 4.1.11.1 if anyone needs it!..i like it..

Is that the 1.6 mod that Cyanogen created? If so I would like it if you can send to my email [email protected]
I tried to find it when I saw it on friend's phone, but when I went to the site they removed :\
ny friend got lucky and bought the phone from a person that had it on there.

HAHAHA Cyanogen ROMs are like crack now.
whatcha need, whatcha need?
Hey man, you got some cyanogen?
You ain't a cop are ya?
Nah man, I just need some Cyanogen.
ok cool, here ya go, be careful bro that sh*t's fast.

* looks over both shoulders.
* whispers "dude that phone had cyanogen on it when you bought it?!?! That sh*t's illegal bro!"

[ROM] JI6 OTA deodexed with stock JI6 kernel and modem

Hi everyone,
Saw a request for this in vibrant general, and while I'm sure most devs and cooks will have long since already deodexed the OTA JI6 for their own uses, hopefully this will still be of use to somebody.
So, that said, this is the stock JI6 OTA rom, fully deodexed, with the stock JI6 kernel and modem, pre-rooted with busybox installed.
NOTE: this was made from the "T959UVJI6 ## NEW" ODIN firmware posted a while back.
Many thanks to all the wonderful devs here, and especially to Eugene373 and Anomalous for provinding the original JFD deodexed base that I used to learn how to compile my own flashable roms.
Warning, this will wipe your data, and this has only been tested via clockwork recovery.
Download: Removed, sorry, caused problems for some people
Cheers everyone, =)

Thanks this is just what I needed.

Me too! I would also like to learn how to do this myself in future. I dual boot ubuntu 10.04 and windows 7, so any tips in either os?

Hi,
Sorry for the issue.
I'm honestly not sure why its happening, it didn't happen on my phone when I tested everything before uploading, and the bootclasspath's used for deodexing were the same that anomalous used for the original JFD deodexed rom. That said, admittedly, I usually run a personalized version of either frankin-twiz/hybrid or bionix rom daily, was only uploading this since I had already deodexed JI6 for personal use (I always like to build new theme's/mods from unmodified/stock files) and saw a request in general.
Anyway, at this point, since sombionix moved to the OTA files too, I'm probably not going to look into it or really support this, sorry.

which gingerbread rom is this?

Hey saw this Vid, wondering what rom and kernel he is running, if anyone knows which they are please let me know. thanks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjH5PRfsh0Q&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_609190

first off this a tech demo and not a stable day to day use rom. You will not be able to use this normally on the phone (reagular reboots and instability) it was simply a taste of gingerbread for some devs here. I would highly recommend not flashing especially since you aren't really experienced yet. You should flash one of the many stable roms in the dev section, but if you insist on it, here is the thread for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887037

i tried dling this rom and installing from clockwork recovery as a zip and it says it installed and takes me right back to the original rom i started with. also is there a kernel i should flash to make things more stable. thanks

I'm pretty sure you have to flash the 2.3 kernel for it to boot into gb. But as joeshmoe said, it isn't a good idea if you aren't experienced (I bricked a capivate trying to get this to work, seriously, it isn't a good idea). There's plenty of great froyo roms out and some nice gb themes, I'd recommend just taking that route.

It *is* being developed for the Captivate, but not on a native Captivate kernel. The reorient, headphone, button fixes are native to the i9000 port when it detects the hardware as a Captivate.

Don't flash it. Seriously. Codeworkx/Coolya were digging through the source, and the nexus s kernel source has differing voltages than the galaxy s. ie, it can actually destroy parts of your hardware. Wait a couple of weeks, the rc for CM7 should be out by then.

well i dont plan to use the rom long term just wanted to flash to it and mess with it then probably switch back to a froyo rom shortly after. but having an issue getting it to run. if i download a kernel with voodoo and run the lagfix to ext4 then flash the rom should that get it up and running?
edit: went ahead and flashed perception and then the rom, reboots constantly, so looks like ill go back to perception and tough it out with a gingerbread theme. Gonna miss that lock animation.... ok now anyknow know how i get back to recovery mode, or do i have to flash back to stock? and reroot?
edit2: dont flash this rom, waste of time, just play with your friends nexus S, back to serendipity

All for a lock screen animation......... wow.

No you didn't follow them EXACTLY. The installation is designed so that errors can't occur if the user does it properly. Are you using CWM?
Well since you think you're so god damn perfect and that you couldn't have made a mistake you obviously don't need our help. Obviously it must be a problem with MIUI

If you just want a faster phone, you should try just running JVB stock. That is by far the fastest ROM I've tried so far. And yes; I've tried MIUI.
And if you want it even faster you should try CF 3.1.

Hey when guys say they are noobs that means they are learning we all have to start somewhere try the simply honey rom it's awesome it's jvb gingerbread quadrant score of 2300

you could try the insanity ROM. I'm a noob too, and even *I* managed to get it to work, with no problems... and it's fast.

[Q] Theme

I am running Mosaic IV. I seen a theme over in Galaxy S I9000 "Steel Blue" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018370. Can install it on my captivate? If so how, if not why not?

This should have gone in the Mosaic IV Q&A section. And to answer your question...Typically when installing themes you want to make sure the theme was made using the same firmware version that you are running. Such as a JVH theme should be applied to a JVH rom. Also you could have asked in the theme thread how to install the theme, but I checked it out for you. It's a CWM file. Just flash it in recovery, but make sure you make a back-up in case something gets messed up.

I did verify that it was a jvh rom. but i did not know how different the captivate & I9000 are. just wanted to make sure.
When you make sure i back up, what do you mean excatly? back up theme, if so how? or do you mean back up rom, kernel?
thanks for replying!

Just make sure you have a theme that you know for a fact will work with Mosaic IV. That way if something does mess up you can just boot into recovery and flash that theme instead of re-flashing the entire rom

Cool that's what i figured, i did have a back up. Everything looked awesome except for the "Contacts". When i would click on contacts it would get this error
"!Select an Action
Sorry!
Application %1$s
Any ideas?
Thanks again for your reply.

I always thought those I9000 themes would only work on a stock platform.of course with the matching firmware is this true?
I wouldn't mind trying out some of the jvp themes on symply rom.

I tried a couple themes from over in the i9000 forum .. You got that because those themes are not 100% compatible with our roms. The Cappy devs tweak stuff in the framework a little differently because of hardware differences etc and that causes mismatches, especially with themed apps like contacts. I had the worst case of that ever when I flashed a theme over mosaic 3 and my dialer would give me that message after every number i typed in. crazy things can happen Its best to just to wait it out until the Mosaic team port all their stuff, that way you wont have any problems at all. They have all the best themes anyways.

I mean you can try, I found a couple that worked with roms I was using. Always keep a backup theme though. Ive been put in bootloops before and had to re-flash entire roms at like 12% battery just to get myself out.

Ya thats what i kinda figured. that them is awesome and i would love to have it on my captivate.
thanks for the reply.
