[UPDATED][2015][HOW-TO]Everything you need to know and do to your Captivate Glide by Stormdude124!
Hello, I see a lot of people wondering how to root the captivate glide,what ROMS are active and want to use a custom ROM but can't figure out how to do it. Well, here is a awesome guide that's easy to follow! When your done don't for get to drop a thanks if I've helped!
[ROOTING/AND OR UPDATING TO LATEST OFFICIAL UPDATE]
(of course when you make any modifications to your phone I'm not responsible but I am here to help!
I'm not discouraging you to do this,because this makes your phone awesome, but you know the drill :3 )
Firstly you need to update your firmware to 4.0.4 UCLJ3,You technically don't have to do this step,but this is the guaranteed way to successfully do it and have no issues. Here's two simple ways you can do it:
*If you are rooted /have the Rodgers version and want to update:
If you are on 2.3.5 android firstly, Update to official ICS 4.0.4 via ODIN.If you have Rodgers version you need root anyways .Click the button to show more and why:
Okay so you have the Rodgers version of the phone and you want root right?
Well your in luck! It does require having a custom ROM first...The reason is because the pre-rooted 2.3.5 ODIN flashable ROM is dead and I have yet to find one.If you want to be on official ICS Do this:Flash TWRP>backup your ROM>Install CM11 from recovery(it is pre rooted thats a plus!)>backup your /efs(this contains your unique IMEI number) with efs pro>then flash the 4.04 offical firmware via ODIN below this>restore your /efs. (if it was lost of course)If you want to stay on your custom ROM theres no probem with that,but if you have problems with signals or anything just flash this in recovery.
If you have any questions regarding this method check this thread out first.Anyways please follow the guide for step by step instructions on how to do everything and have the required files!
Rooted at&t version you don't have to do anything special just update normally *Sweet tits it already uploaded to my Google Drive! now its available to anyone Links are below this [I'm pretty sure if you have Rogers version you can update with this as well,but you need to have root to have your /efs partion backed up because in some cases it was reported lost.]
Firmware:
ICS 4.0.4 UCLJ3 Mirror 1 SamMobile(needs account) Mirror 2 My Google Drive (anyone can access no account required and fast speeds!-a txt file is included if you need more help you out on flashing it )
and here's also a guide on how to flash it!(if you are following this guide please use Bubor's TWRP as it is needed for KitKat ROMS)
*If you are not rooted /at&t version and want to update:
you can simply use Kies
If and after you updated though Kies,make sure you uninstall Kies before you install ODIN.
Basically follow this youtube video and install TWRP not CWM!!!
I can't stress how important it is to Have TWRP, CWM will simply not work,but if you installed CWM its not hard at all to change! Just flash this in CWM and your recovery will change to TWRP

If on mobile or non flash device click here
While watching this video please flash TWRP!!!!!
You should now be fully updated and rooted!!!
[BEFORE YOU FLASH]
This is not necessary if you are staying on your current network,but if you want to unlock your phone to another network,It would be cool to see this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860003

[FLASHING]
Here is a list of currently active ROMS (as of 1/24/14)
(Bubor's, grtsarav's,and xdajog's ROMS) The only bugs which are in JB+(4.1+) include,No Bluetooh Headset (everything else works fine,BT speaker file transfer ect.) Fixed camera Rotation,meaning when you take a Picture it will always be rotated at 90 degrees,just rotate them in gallery.
Anyway the ROM I use is CRdroid 4.4.4,but if your looking for something a little more Stock based use sediROM.
But i'm not the one to tell you what ROM to get! Try them all! Or try just try one! What ever you like! All I know is you'll enjoy the life and freedom with a custom ROM!!!
*Please read if you have a JellyBean ROM* all Jellybean ROMS haven't been updated in awhile.If you would like a ROM that is guaranteed to have updates please choose a KitKat branch or use sediROM (which is ICS 4.04)
-----------------------------------------------

>All 4.x.x ROMS<*It has came to my attention that some apps aren't compatible with our phone anymore.This is due to a bug in the Nvidia GPU and NEON Instructions that our CPU is not compatible with.
Below I have provided the latest versions of affected apps that work with our phone:
Google Now (Search) 3.3.11.1069658-If GNL Says you need a newer version of search downgrade it
Google Now Launcher-Use this If The latest GNL says you need a newer version of search
Youtube 5.3.32-Some say the latest version works,but it crashes constantly.This one doesn't.
Google Camera 2.2.024 -Tested works great!
Google Maps 6.14.4 -the latest works but there's a bug in the NV Graphics that gives you a black screen when you leave the app and comeback to the same session o_0
4.4.x Gapps package from 03/16/14-Okay we lucked out here,I couldn't find an old Gapps package any where on the web containing compatible Google Now and guaranteed no F/Cing apps ,then I check an old folder I had on my phone.What do you know? I have the file saved from way back
If you installed a newer version of these apps that didn't work,just uninstall the updates and install the one provided!
also If you find an app no longer compatible with this phone let me know and I'll post an older version that does!
Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0-4.04)
xdajog's ROM
(Private beta testing completed.)
SediROM v1.6*1.6.21* (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4) Current Status: Very Stable

For older ROMS click here
you must change the assert tag to flash in TWRP:
@Bubor:You may want to install older rom, you must change assert tag in rom zip file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script:
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "i927" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i927" ||

Custom Kernels: (Not required! If you don't know what this is,skip this section!)
GraKernel by Grarak compiled by bubor
Fixes some wifi issues,sleep of death, and stable over clock (when you first flash go to system settings>preformance>processor>change maximum CPU frequency to 1200mhz (stock is 1000mhz)

[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] {new question added 5/30/14}
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,download this,if you need a step by step guide click here
Q: Do I need to flash any Custom Kernels, GAPPS ect.?
A: All Bubor's ROMS have everything built in,but grtsarav's ROM requires a GAPPS package
more info on his ROM page
Q: I have the Rogers version of the i927 do I need to do anything special?
A: No all the ROMS are universal
Q: Why can't I just flash TWRP and a ROM without updating to 4.0.4 ICS first?
A: You could, but we say update first you can avoid unknown issues with Baseband (that's like sleep of death dropped calls ect.)

[MISC.]
>Only do if you flashed a GApps package not including search<*If you want 'Ok Google to work on your ROM and offline voice data:
1: Download this:en-US.zip
2:Install:HAVE GOOGLE NOW INSTALLED!
1:Extract with your favorite extracting app (i used root browser) to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models
2:use rootbrowser and check every premission by long pressing file:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then:
*This also gives you offline voice typing (System>Language and input>Google Voice Typing)Enable it
I recommend You use Google keyboard by Google it integrates both in one awesome keyboard here's play link
*How to enable voice typing
1: Have google keyboard and Google Now (In playstore its called Google Search)
2: Make sure you have Voice Search enabled:System>Language and Input-Check Google Voice
It should look like this:
3:Now go somewhere where you can open Google keyboard and long press the comma left of the space bar
4:A box should come up saying "Input options"
5:Click Google Keyboard Settings
6 :Check Voice input key like this:
8: Finally your outcome should be this:
------------------------------------------------
-UPDATED 3/25/14- *How to get a fully functional GNL (Google Now Launcher) it all works!
It's been released on Google Play!
Known issues: the always listening feature may make all sounds lag when using "Stock libs" (original sound drivers in "windows terms").Skype fix (tiny alsas) fixes this. Just type command from terminal when making a call,that's what I do.
read "Skype Fix" below for more info and how to install it
Older Versions(might need older Google Now?)
First Release
Second Release
------------------
*How to install Google's Documents UI (Google's new file explorer)
Download the apk >here<
1: after you downloaded the apk copy and paste into System>app
2a: if you are on CyanogenMod it will ask you if you want to over write the file,tap yes
2b: set the permissions to r-w-rr
3: reboot and watch the magic
-----------------
[KITKAT ONLY]
*How to have a custom wallpaper on your favorite KitKat ROM:
-Before we get started CRdroid has Custom wallpaper setting built in after build 5-
-CM11 also has it now where you can set a custom locksceen wallpaer (settings>themes>lockscreen wallpaper)-
Anyways if your ROM doesn't support it here's how to get it:
1:Basically you need to have XPOSED Frame work,you can get it freshly updated here
2: After you install Xposed Frame work installer,install and reboot
3: There are two routes you can take,you can download GravityBox and have more customization,but it does break some CM settings (theoretically its not supported, but I've used it and it works perfect,it also adds the AM/PM feature).The other route is Xposed lockscreen,which basically the title states what it does,customize your lock screen!The only feature it has is custom wallpaper for lockscreen
4: you can fetch GravityBox here and Xposed lockscreen here
5: MAKE SURE you activate your module you choose and don't have both active at the same time!
-------------
[SKYPE FIX]
*How to use Skype or VOIP apps with ease this also fixes the lagging sound issue with Google now/launcher! This Will work on any of our KitKat based ROM's:
1: flash This zip in Recovery:4.4.2 ROMS: >here<
4.4.3 ROMS: >here<
4.4.4 ROMS >here<
2: After you flashed that,reboot into system
3: Open Terminal Emulator (it's included in CM,but if you don't have it click here
4:in terminal type "su" to get root premissions
5:Run "alsas" command to switch audio stacks,at anytime to switch between GSM (regualr calling) and voIP (like skype ect.)
Notes:When you first flash the zip it will switch it to voIP-aware,CHANGES ARE PRESISTANT,meaning to have GSM calling you need to run the command from terminal everytime you want to switch between the two
-
For JellyBean ROM's (4.1-4.3)
1: Download this zip
2: Flash zip from recovery
3: The first time you flash the zip it will change it to voIP aware (so you can use skype or any other voip calling app)
4:to use GSM calling,simply flash the zip again! Basically flash when your done using Skype!

For the love of god mention somewhere that you need google search installed before you do anything trying to make voice typing active when offline... that would have saved me hours of headache right there.

While flashing CM-11 Kitkat ROM using CWM, it gives an error status 7.
I tried deleting the assert clause as given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762
But it give the same error status 7 : set_metadata_recursive changes failed
Somewhere I read that I need to use CWM 6.0.4.5 +. Help me out. Or give some link to latest CWM.
You need to use TWRP (team win recovery project) in the guide it states to flash TWRP not cwm,your in luck though,you can flash twrp through cwm, flash this: http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/twrp-i927/twrp-2.6.1.zip
Then try flashing cm 11

Hello guys, i have a few question about omnirom, what settings is good for performance in settings>performance>memory ?
and for what is SWAP int-sd card? it's good for performance? or just space?

If you don't know what settings will be good, don't touch them, they're mostly for fine-tuning system built-in app killer. You hardly can have much profit from changing them, only if you need a bit more RAM badly.
SWAP int-sd card is for using your sd card as internal memory (so you can install apps there). You should use it if 4 gb of internal memory is not enough for you (as it is for me as I'd like to install couple of 1-2 gb games). You will lose performance with swap if your SD card is less that 10 speed class.
Given that BT doesn't work in the newer ROMS (JB & KK), I regrettably had to revert back to 4.0.4. I found that I needed to replace the recovery with CWMR from TWRP in order to install one of DMAN's ICS ROMs. TWRP failed to install the 4.0.4 ROM.
After replacing the recovery, it is probably a good idea to backup the new ROM (JB or KK) using CWMR so that you can restore it if desired at a later time.

i tried flashing the rom but i got a status 7 error, plz note that i m using an updated recovery and also i have also increased the internal memory of my i9082 in reference to another thread by @k2wl . plz help. the error says this rom is for i9082 and this device is a baffin. what should i do?
open zip then go to /META-INF/com/google/android/ folder and open updater-script with notepad++ or some editor compatible with linux style.
delete first line
" getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9082" || abort("This package is for "i9082" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
"
and save file in zip again or if ask update it.
Thanks

Pick your favorite file manager from the play store and download it.
You can't find one the rom because there is no file manager included.
The file manager is a CM feature not AOSP, so you will miss more thing
See that is so hard
A small problem
In the 2nd update of this rom the status 7 error was not resolved....so i have tried removing the first line from the updater script....but then after installing and rebooting android logo flashes for a very long time...still not having any luck with it....i have used notepad++ to do all the updating and then again compressed all the files into a zip file....please tell me if i am doing something wrong or if i am missing something....

How to root (manual) for galaxy grand duos i9082 - CosmicROM [AOSP] [5.1] ?
Is this ROM support otg cable
I hope to be really
How can I tell if a "s3" rom ok for a i747?
For example I got this LS-LP-v4.1-2015-05-01-liquid_d2tmo.zip from androidfilehost.
sgh-i747 is d2tmo but there's very different from a i9300 d2tmo
I found this in the metadata file
Post-build=samsung/d2tmo/d2tmo:4.3/JSS15J/T999UVUEMJC:user/release-keys
Which suggests it's the wrong radio for me.
I'm pretty sure this one would brick.
I'm having issues with APN not working on some roms, for example LS 3.2 fails but LS 3.1 works.
Searching zips, I found some things to answer this...
Rom: DU_LTE_4.4.4_2014029-2318.V8.1-OFFICIAL.ZIP
File: \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
Code:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo" ||
Code:
ifelse(is_substring("I747", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/gsm/* /system/"));
Test: Flashed fine, booted, have not tested further yet.
Rom: LS-LP-v4.1-2015-05-01-liquid_d2tmo.zip
The only d2tmo and i747 references were in binary files.
The update script does no hardware verify checks.
This rom is not going on my i747.
It should work till you wanna use radios, that's where you should see complications

Upgrading the radio did solve the issue I was having with blank APN when using DU 8.1
Trail blazed.
What I learned.
For reference only.
The radio baseband upgrade process is easy enough, but comes with warnings:
1) Upgrade your recovery first (TWRP or CWM)
2) Once updated, you might not be able to go back.
3) Best to have an extra backup phone.
[ROM] Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 [7/20] link to 7.8
Last post shows new maintainer deadman96385, link to v7.8....
[ROM][4.4.4] Dirty Unicorns [v7.8] #1
Working download link DU_d2lte_4.4.4_20140815.v7.8-OFFICIAL.zip
Which radio is recommended?
-- Make Sure You Have A Custom Recovery.
-- Wipe Everything But Your External/Internal Storage.
-- Move the ROM Zip To Your Device.
-- Flash It And Reboot.
-- Once the ROM Boots, Reboot Back Into Recovery.
-- Flash The Recommend Gapps and ENJOY!No idea.
For a noob, upgrading the radio is not a consideration here.
This is missing -- Make sure your radio is compatible.
I recommend this for all XDA ROM threads, not just this one.
Almost every Custom ROM thread has ????? about the radio issues.

spaceman860 15th September 2014:Link to DU downloads... has no d2 http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/
Maybe d2 has a special folder.
I found \misc\Timetogetdirty.apk ? Probably the boot animation.
The thread mentions g+ download links, but g+ is just a haystack to hide needles in.Related Playstore links:
Network Signal Info
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...telnet&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
GetRil (nice but the only s3 it knows is i9300)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...getril&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Looks like the DU 7.8 is the best bet for DU on S3.
But I'm thinking SlimKat or LiquidSmooth now.
What did DocHoliday77 mean by Once rooted, DO NOT UPDATE SuperSU! ??

I think ChainFIre made a flurry of SuperSu updates that resolved issues found with the release of the NJ/NH bootloaders. I definitely recall people being advised to update SuperSu in other instances since that time. I have continually updated SuperSu, BUT I am on an older bootloader.
I tried to install several builds of LineageOS and CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini.
I'm sure I use the right ROMs and I also tried intalling on TWRP and CWM.
Can someone help me please?
This is the output log of CWM (in TWRP it's the same):

How?
Thanks

Since there's no Official LineageOS released for this device, there's a few Unofficial releases.
Your best bet is to use one of the following Unofficial LineageOS threads for your device.

I finally could install the ROM using twrp2.7_golden.nova.20140327.zip
while my CWM : recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-golden.img
failed to install the ROMs
so with TWRP I installed :
lineage-13.0-20170129-UNOFFICIAL-golden.zip
I also installed Google Apps : open_gapps-arm-6.0-mini-20171002.zip
