Known Issues:

They are more then welcome to chime in their version as well!

Is this going to be any different than flashing the normal way?

Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Hopefully this will be ready for download when I get home from work.

PS. DG, if you want some extra mirror space check the download speed for Axura in my sig. Shoot me a PM if you would like me to set you up a FTP account with a couple gig of storage.

Yes, it will have a prerequisite of anything with voodoo enabled. From there you just flash a zip and boot.
Its not a perfect 1zip install from anything, yet...

will do, edited post #2 after booting i got 3g lock almost right away! nice to see telus APN in the list

EXTREMELY EXCITED.
Have been waiting for this!
So all I need to do please correct me if Im wrong is flash any other ROM such as Perecption or Cognition ect. Or just install the latest Voodoo Lag Fix. Then just flash this also on top of that through Clockwork?
Thanks and PLEASE correct me if im wrong here.

Personally if i were you i would wait for a more stable release, theres has been vast improvements in the kernel up till now but its still not ready for day to day use for everyone, plus if your unsure how to install it then you probably shouldn't ! But if you must , the method i used was flashed back to stock, gsm reset (code=*2767*3855#) which wipes all your memory, then flash darkys rom v7 and enable voodoo after phone boots and reboot it, then flash the gb kernel through clockwork recovery.... also i had to reboot the phone after installing the kernel to get 3g working...good luck

Consumers of ROMS sometimes forget that devs have family too.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to you and your family. Wish the same to all the devs.
Cheers!!

Thanks DG! Happy Holidays to everyone. Cant wait for more stable version too.

woot woot. finally a method i could do!! this does leave me some questions though.
is it possible to just flash to stock 2.2 (instead of a custom rom), install voodoo5, and than install the zip through rom manager?
http://project-voodoo.org/download
the voodoo stable 5.0, is that for the captivate? just making sure, dont want to download something thats for the i9000.
and lastly! if anything goes wrong, flashing one click odin will solve everything correct? all the changes (aka the eff ups) i made should return to stock settings?
sooo excited!!
edit. to eleborate on my voodoo worries.
will reflashing with odin to stock, change my kernal back to the stock one or will it keep voodoo? just wondering because i was wondering if its required that i disable (or uninstall) voodoo before i use odin to restore or could i just use odin after testing the rom out without any disabling/enabling.
edit 2:
shoot forgot to ask, what are the usb files for? im gut tells me their the files needed for the comp to recognize the captivate after flashing. and second, does this require a root? and this is the LOL question, could i just rename the 2.3 file a "update.zip" and install it like that or do i have to do the whole clockwork thing. Six question. geez im dumb.
Merry Xmas!

How To Get CM7 Running On Captivate [Fairly Stable]

THE LINKS I POSTED ARE NOT WORKING JUST GO TO THE i9000 XDA THREAD AND DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING FOR SOME REASON LINKS ARE NOT WORKING BUT JUST FOLLOW THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS ON HERE AND GET YOUR DOWNLOADS FROM THAT THREAD! THANKS
I thought Id post this since I have had a lot of success and even though I did this on my back up Captivate I am now using it as a daily driver as my only problems now have just been rotation even the buttons work. Network, Data, Calling everything is perfect and its insanely fast. I thought it really was very easy to do and it really does pay dividends if you flash and take it STEP BY STEP.
CHANGELOG
20110222
This build comes from teamhacksung repo which should be mainline compatible now.
It comes with silent updater-script. Don't be shocked!
- more camera fixes
- fixed touchscreen (thanks to DW1985 for this.- enabled 10 point multitouch
So here we go:
Flash Back To Stock
Flash latest Cognition 4 or any 2.2 ROM that converts to EXT4 (I only tested with Cog 4 so thats why Im saying that)
Then Download this:
Initial package:Copy following files to your internal sdcard
- galaxys-efsbackup.zip
- cm7-galaxys-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip
Flash "speedmod-kernel-k12n-500hz.tar" (i9000) or any of the latest speedmods osing odin or CWM I have tested both.
Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo and apply galaxys-efsbackup.zip.
- Don't use "reboot recovery" command to do this!
Flash cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot
Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo
Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache
Apply zip from sdcard: cm7-galaxys-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip
Do a wipe!
REBOOT!
And there you go CM7 will be booting on your Cappy!
Captivate Bugs Ive Run into: Auto Rotation is still messed up but just turn auto rotation off once boots and you will be fine. And the search and back buttons do not work.
I hope this helped you as it really isnt that hard just follow each step and everything will be great.
Have a good day and again hope this helped.

Great I have been wanting to try this but I don't know how to build it so I was waiting for someone to help out. Looking forward to giving this a try.

orientation is in the kernel now, id the kernel was built for the captivate like the devs are working on now, orientation would work
this is not authorized by the cmsgs team, i think it would be wise to remove this thread until they are ready to release it.

This post is full of fail.
Should research more before posting a built kernel and then posting bug reports about bugs that have been fixed and could easily be known by doing a bit of research before trying to be the first to post a fail post.
Kthx.

wow, please remove these. you have no permission from the cmsgsteam to post these. there's a reason these haven't been publicly shared. take them down.

Agreed. Please wait for something that works with a little more stability before posting this. While i know you're trying to help, and for you it sounds like CM7 is working great, who are people going to turn to when they need help with this 'rom'? Please take this down until some one is ready to publicly release and support CM7!!

Do not use the three button Odin after loading a ginger ROM, bad things happen, well actually nothing will happen as far as your phone working.

Keep 'em coming!

Some people who updated their bootloaders to install GB and returned to stock/Eclair/Froyo using 3 button fix truly bricked their phones. None have bricked (at least none I have read) if they used OneClickDownloader.

Yeah I have now tried the 2 working gingerbread Roms that update your bootloader and went back to stock using Odin3 One-Click and it worked great. I am patiently waiting to try out Bada's.

[DEV][ROM] ILAROM v. alpha (based on KPN 2.3.3)

I've made a custom rom, according to my personal preferences.
I don't remember all the changes, but some are:
- Based on KPN 2.3.3 official rom for Spain.
- Deodexed.
- Rooted.
- Changed boot animation.
- CRT animation enabled.
- SIP calling enabled.
- Removed some Samsung bloatware.
- Added Cyanogenmod's DSPManager (equalizer).
- Added some Google's apps, including Car Home and Music, among others.
- Added some other apps (according to my preferences).
- Custom kernel with ext4 support.
- Replaced Samsung's TW-Launcher with Zeam.
- Removed Samsung's keyboard.
- Added Gingerbread stock keyboard.
- Removed Swype, as this lets you install the latest beta .(http://beta.swype.com).
- Replaced the Clock and alarm app with Cyanogenmod's one (more options for alarms).
- More changes that I don't remember.
Flash from ClockworkMod. You need to have previously installed any Gingerbread rom.
No wipe needed. Always make a nandroid backup before flashing roms.
Sorry for the screenshots in spanish, I'll add english versions later.
Link: Uploading new version.

Wow another, brand new custom firmware Greate work man, thanks. But can you upload some screen shots pls? For that changes especially?

Thanks, i try it now!

Hm.. I dont see any big reason to switch to this ROM, maybe for the KPN and the DSPManager.
But great work, always good to have more choices!

Screenshot please...thanks
can i have a dsp manager apk for stock rom...

worth a try. I am waiting for CodeRom v2-2 but will flash this one while waiting.
hope this does not drain battery a lot like some others.

Thanks for that beautiful rom and screen shots. looks yummy Cant you just add bln kernel? If you can, i prefer to use this rom. Bec. its important... generally for galaxy series. am i right?

I try now in my girlfriend device (has firstUA1.1) and doesn't work too. I try flash KPN and after install it.
Gracias!

[MOD] KK4 - Extended Power Menu {The Collective}

Hey, what did you expect.
Has the extended powermenu and crt animation.
Completely stock...
Honestly, I haven't tested it yet so let me know if there's a problem.
Must be on a deodexed ROM before you flash, you can get one here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358180
Just copy to your SDCard, have a kernel with CWM installed and flash away. You can get a kernel here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19246131&postcount=29
As always, I am not responsible if it messes up your phone.

Is pretty much everything from KK2 compatible with KK4?
I am thinking many of the mods already done can just be transferred just like they could from KJ3 to KK2.

There are slight differences, most of it is the same except for a few minor changes and bug fixes here and there.
