WHAT is going on with my captivate?

so i installed both the clearbar and bluedroid xml theme for metamorph and it just looks like crap
i've been trying to install every "revert to stock" theme for metamorph as well as any other notification bar theme just to get rid of it and nomatter what i install, the phone gets stuck in a loop trying to load the GUI
what is going on here and why can i not morph ANYTHING?

List everything you have done to your phone. Which Superuser do you have.

I would just Odin the thing, I don't have much patience for install this, uninstall that.

What version of SuperUser are you using? Lots of references in other threads about Morph not working with the newer SuperUser version.

Also going to be a long time, there's one being worked as a cross between the vibrant and captivate and they are seriously bugged right now. What you should do right now is flash JH3 followed by SuperRooterExtreme and then just leave it at that until cyanogenmod or AOSP comes out, which is what I'm doing.

i had JH3 flashed but i hated that there was no home button feedback....i was also having a bit of lag throughout the rom so when the ext2 lagfixes came through i flashed back to stock and really dont think its a big enough difference to flash back....im not gonna flash until something significant comes out

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.

[Q] Questions on themes for Cognition 3.04

So I'm running cog 3.04. I like some of these themes, but I'm confused as to whether they will work with cog 3.04. I've been able to discern so far that themes are dependent on the type/version of the kernel running.
So what themes will work with cog 3.04?

Same here, I like FireFly, not sure where to get theme though

Cognition is rebuilt on Rogers I896UXJL1. Any theme made for the JL1 rom should work fine.
Or you could look for themes that say they are for Cognition. Standard backup everything before flashing still applies.

Thnx for info, do u know how to get Phoenix theme by any chance?

It has absolutely nothing to do with what KERNEL you're running, and everything to do with what ROM you're running.
And I don't mean like Cognition, Serendipity, etc. but JPY, JS3, JKYK78, 1337 etc.

i see themes for phoenix, but seems like those are older one, those do not like as I have on I896 for FireFly

Cog 3.04
I successfully flashed to this yesterday and have been enjoying it today. Thank you. So far, no problems. This was my first ROM flash. I was on stock Eclair from AT&T.
A few follow up questions:
1) should I now install Adobe Flash from the app store? does it work well? I'm not going to play flash games. I really just want to be able to see flash movies on news sites like WSJ. I'm asking because I heard it's hard to uninstall and I don't want to mess up my new rom.
2) what is the deal with Media Hub? how will we get it on custom roms? do we know when that will be available?
3) I did this flash without Rom Manager. should I now get Rom Manager for the next flash? is the idea that Rom Manager makes it easy to get back to stock 2.1 and try new Roms from there?
Thank you! rocketman_dc

[REQ] Stock theme for DL30

I actually like the stock theme this time around, however, I don't believe there is a way to get it back after flashing a new theme, other then reflashing your ROM. Bit extreme, no? So, does anyone have the stock theme files in a flashable format?

How much different is re flashing the rom then flashing a new theme . Like come on dude, a little ridiculous. Anyway, bendowden has one thats near stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928529. And it wouldnt be hard to make one yourself i suppose.

Don't you lose all your settings when you reflash the rom? Makes it a pain in the ass to reconfigure your phone.

Settings are only lost if you wipe data, to return to the stock theme, just reflash the ROM and only wipe cache (for good measure) no settings will be lost and you'll be back to stock. =)

well, aren't you awesome. thanks a million!

One thing I'd note about the revert to stock theme option is that it's good to have in the event that you want to return EVERYTHING back to stock. Seems like a lot of themes differ in what they theme and what they don't. Although flashing a restore / original ROM is certainly do-able, having just the stock theme available to reset to is nice because it's certainly a quicker flash / flash over scenario vs. a restore or original ROM flash.
Just my petty $0.02 of the day
Thanks to kenesis for providing the link / stock theme source.

Rw9, i do agree with that i guess. and i realized that some apps could be themed too, so if you guys needed i can put the stock apps in the theme too because i forgot to do that. Just let me know, and ill do it

Super Nova Q&A

Hey Guys I put together a Q&A thread for this rom to prevent tons of new threads about rom Spicific questions from new users.. Please feel free to post any questions here.

No question is too noobish, But please look for your answer first.
Now for the info needed to help. In your post make sure to included the version of the rom you are using, modem, kernel, ext...

Would anyone like to post there likes and dislikes about the ROM so people who do not have it can know what to expect?

This thread is for issues related to the rom. Likes and dislikes are user based and will not do any good as for what to expect and all custom roms are a best for you type of thing. I could say that I like this this and this about the rom but some one else would say that they dont like the same things. See my point? Each rom has an outline for the rom in the first post.

Love the rom. I'm on 2.1 and have noticed my camera won't work, just FCs. Extracted some old phoenix and SN roms I had on my phone and tried to copy the .apk and camera firmware into system/app using root explorer and reboot. No luck. Any ideas? I would prefer not to reflash.
Thanks in advance.

Kernel: speedmod-k13b-500hz #54

The problems I am experiencing aren't a major deal, just thought I would mention them.
1. When I am connected to wifi and try and use the Facebook app I get a connection timeout message. While using at&t data I don't.
2. I get a FC when trying to open the Fox News app.

Try restoring the stock email.apk that came with the rom, no idea why they're tied together but they are.
As for FCing on the Fox News app, I got that too and just uninstalled it, not sure why it was doing that.

Has anyone checked their "About Phone" info under the settings after flashing the 2.3 download and still see their "Build number" as Supernova 2.1??
Shouldn't this be 2.3 instead of 2.1 or was the revision number suppose to stay the same this update?

I could tell the update took effect when the kernal was updated to Speedmod and some other graphical difference when flashing from 2.1, but just wanted to make sure.
Also, does anyone know where to grab the 2.1 ringtones from the zip file? There was a nice one in there that I'd like to get back.

Ah awesome, that was so easy! thank you!

I am on 2.3 and this is my favourite one so far. Really enjoy the Phoenix team roms. With other roms I have noticed that when you touch the screen the soft home keys do not light up. If you touch the keys themselves they light up for only 3 seconds. I found I had to use an app/widget called keep the lights on for that issue. With this rom however, the soft keys work perfect. If I touch anywhere on the screen they light up for 10 seconds or more just like my stock did.
If I ever check out another Rom is there something I could import from this to keep that great feature? I don't think I will be flashing for a while after this one. But once flashaholism sets in sometimes I have no choice...lol

Thinking About Migrating
Hello all, I've been a loyal Perception user since I purchased my Captivate and tried out several of the active ROMs. I've started to look for a new ROM since DG announced that the Perception line was defunct. I have a few questions regarding Supernova:
1) Are there other themes, loaded stock, with the ROM. The black one from the screenshot isn't really my style.
2) Does this ROM include the three-button fix? My phone is one of the unlucky few that cannot boot to recovery mode via button holding.
3) For those of you who have flashed many a ROM and decided to use Supernova, what do you like about it best? Why did you select this ROM over the others available?

1) Yes there are other themes, I am currently running SN JS5 version and using Nunhugger's Absolution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10254722&postcount=5
at this point, it appears most JPY/JS5 themes will work with any JPY/JK3/JS5 ROMS
2) My phone also does not have 3 button. But it has the extended power menu, long press on the power button gives you the option to boot to Download, Recovery, Reboot, etc.
3) Honestly, I move between Phoenix, Supernova, and FireFly. Adam and Team have a level of detail I havent seen around, but the big part is the support. There is NO flaming on his threads, so people arent affraid to ask question if they cant figure something out. They are all solid ROM's very stable, very well put together. In the end I couldnt tell you one of them is better than the other, just a little bit different

it's a long way to go.my captive's screen is so cool.
