So I have a captivate as a loaner from bestbuy until my phone can be junked out and I can get a new one for free (<3 you black tie protection.) And thus I am stuck with again for a while SO... I got tired of redoing the setup I do on my Cyanogen devices every time I update a daily.
Here is the .zip I flash after every update.
Features (What it includes and the components used to do it):
Market/Google Apps (Latest 2011-06-13) From Here: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Email Without Exchange Security From Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848564
TalonMTD Kernel v0.0.1 From here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215876
Camera from MIUI - From here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066885
Modified Phone APK with an option to hide the REALLY annoying hold button. (I honestly can't find where I got this from again.)
Instructions.
Get cyanogen mod. If you have it skip to step 2. Otherwise installation instructions are here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide
Once cyanogen-mod is installed, or after each daily update, flash the zip found below. (This can be done in place of the google-apps installation.)
Finally, Download Link: http://fennyfatal.com/android/Captivte.FennyMod.B1.zip
Standard disclaimer applies: Don't do anything stupid, and I am not responsible for any damages. And all credit goes to the original authors for the original mods the only one of which I created is the Exchange Security Removal.
Note: When we have an official+stable build I will start supporting this as a Full Kanged ROM as long as I have a captivate to test it on, but until then it will just be a patch.

The thread is here because it will be a full Rom with tweaks, but I am packaging it as an update to the existing cyanogen builds until there is a stable release to base it off of. If a mod thinks differently it can be moved.
This tool is for the conversion of meizu's bin formatted rom files to zip. I didn't make the tool, but I can't recall where I got it either.

I made the tool. There's a topic on meizume dedicated to it but feel free to discuss it here.

It is quite bloated because of the Qt dlls (couldn't be arsed to recompile the whole beast statically) and that doesn't count the VC 2008 runtime. Oh well.
I have found it is essentially good for converting stock bins to zips, as the other way round won't be helpful for CN devices - a check in the Mz recovery has a special code path for HK devices (based on /proc/uboot_version), which accepts all stuff regardless of whether it's signed updates or not. That's why you could flash anything, prerooted ROM, or even a su package (no need to mess with TPsparky indeed).
OTH, the CN version:
- checks sig of what it flashes (thus only stock updates may be flashed)
- had a (RSA ?) checksum for each partition and thus cannot be written to freely (e.g. mod the recovery image)
- is the reason my next phone won't be a Mz

I suppose I'm lucky to own a HK MX then. Honestly, they make the best phone that I've handled aside from an iPhone (don't get me wrong, I'm just referring to the build quality.) Thanks for the tool!
We need a kernel dev if your up for it as well. Custom recovery would be a lifesaver for this phone. I'll credit you in the thread as well!
How about this:
1/ Extract the contents of an stock recovery_uboot.img
you obtain a recovery-uboot.img-kernel.zImage and recovery-uboot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz
2/ Flash recovery-uboot.img-kernel.zImage where kernel ("zImage" in update) for normal boot goes
/dev/block/mmcblk0p63/ Flash [(64-byte header)+recovery-uboot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz] where ramdisk ("ramdisk-uboot.img" in update) for normal boot goes
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
and try to boot normally. Do you think the recovery that's normally invoked via VolUp+Power would show up?
EDIT: I posted instructions for dismembering such an image @ http://www.meizume.com/showthread.php?p=158029

I'm trying to use this tool to convert the Flyme 2.0.3 update.bin to a zip file so I can extract a boot.img file, and I'm getting an error. Has the format of the update.bin file changed?

Thank you sooo much mate for the heads up! Now I can extract new flat icons extracted from MX3 OS to work with my own theme.
With edited icons my phone looks so FlymeOS 3ish now. @TwoPointZero mate, I salute you.
No problem HondaRacer
What's happened to meizume btw?

Tool works for Meizu MX4 pro?
Thank
Is this tool no longer available? When I click the "Download Now" link, it just brings up a new tab with a grey blank page.
If it's still available, can someone provide me a mirror link please?
This tool is available on the chinese forum http://bbs.flyme.cn/thread-20121-1-1.html

OpenOTA is a project I started on 10/27/2014 that will hopefully change how users get OTA Updates. OOTA allows a developer to "Self-Host" their ROM's updates and also allow users to get them, over the air. A neat feature of OOTA is that the ROM Update does not need to be hosted on a web server you own, you can use d-h.st, mediafire, 4shared, or whatever hosting provider you like , it doesn't matter where!
Here is how it works: The user's ROM, on boot, will check for an update, if there is one, the user will be prompted to download. The prompt is once per boot, and once per OOTA app launch. When the user chooses to download, it will open the users browser to the download the update.
Why did I do this you might ask? To keep the apk file as small as possible.
Why integrate the download when we can just use the web browser that is built in?
This also allows developers with limited bandwidth use other hosting providers.
I hope some developers find this app very useful as I made it to be open to everyone!
Please let me know what you guys think, give me ideas, tell me where I can improve.
I currently use it in my Custom ROM AdvancedStock7 for the LG Optimus F3 from Virgin Mobile but the app itself is compatible with android 4.0+

Seems promising !
Would definitely give it a try & report back soon.
On a related note: I'm also in the process of rewriting Dummydroid, a companion tool for spoofing arbitrary Android devices. Any artists around here willing to contribute an application icon (must be in SVG format and under a creative commons license)?
Used to work for me, lately it just hangs by signing in.
Loved it!
