[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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn879wTAXi4
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)
-----------------------------------------------

CyanogenMod 12 5.0.2 Last Update: 03/02/15

>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

NO SKYPE OR ALSAS FIX NEEDED!
Everything works including Bluetooth headset
Very Recommended ROM!
Please report bugs promptly so he can give you the best experience

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!)

[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.
This is an unofficial build of Omni Rom based on KitKit 4.4.2. There is no official support for the d2 variants. Props to androidsftw for picking apart what was needed for our d2s.
I am not the dev of this rom, all I did was add in necessary device/vendor/d2 files for d2. This is not a port, everything has been built from source.
As with all things root, I am not responsible for anything that happens while flashing this rom. You take responsibility for your actions. Nandroid is your friend.

Installing for the first time? Grab the newest full zip from the D2LTE directory. For future updates, just go to Settings -> System Updates and let the magic happen.
HOW TO INSTALL
1. Factory Data reset
2. Wipe System/Data/Dalvik/Cache
3. Install ROM zip from Sdcard
4. Install GAPPS zip from Sdcard
5. Install SuperSU from Sdcard
6. Reboot to home screen to confirm good flash
7. (Optional) Reboot to recovery and flash kernel
TO USE DELTAS, YOU HAVE TO USE TWRP OR PHILZ RECOVERY. CWM WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE IT DISABLES SCRIPTING CAPABILITIES BY DEFAULT. If there's anything that you want the updater to flash automatically after it flashes your update, put the file(s) in the FlashAfterUpdate directory inside your Opendelta folder in your internal storage.
Join the BMS G+ community which will have quicker release info in the future for all things BMS and roms.
Enjoy!

This build is unofficial, so I don't exactly carry around a changelog. However, you can always check cmxlog for omni and see what's been changed with each version of one of their nightlies. It won't be exact as some have specific device merges, but it will give you a good idea. The dates on my builds will correspond with the officials listed on cmxlog.
You can also check their gerrit or git to see what's been merged.
This question gets posted pretty frequently so if some users could please bookmark this post, we can just repost it when needed. Here are all the links you can peruse for your changelog/update enjoyment.

So what I'm getting is that a d2lte build will work on all d2 variants, no updater-script editing required?
Screenies??
As GideonX has said, these builds support all the d2 variants. Everything is automatically done during flashing. You don't need to do anything but flash like normal
downloaded and working
Except for su recconising apps. have tried manual install also just can't seem to make it work. appreciate this rom otherwise. will keep trying. thanks:good:

4.4 needs special twrp jyst in case you restored back on to tw or never updated.
Anyways seems like the rom had little to offer in my personal opinion. I decided to just go an restore previous rom instead

Try PA's gapps. If you're talking about how no letters actually get inputted on the screen even though it is showing the swipe, then that's what you need.

Ok Thanks,was what i thinking too,do you know wich Custom rom are support for this new bootloader or i can do something to work with CM11 ?
I'm not sure which CM builds support your bootloader. The bootloader may be too new and it hasn't been incorporated into the updater script.
To see if a custom ROM supports your bootloader, you'll have to download the ROM and look at the updater script in a text editor such as Windows Notepad.

The i747 was referred to as the d2att. The i747m was referred to as the d2can. Since the hardware is the same, the builds were unified under d2lte. Only older ROM builds use the d2can or d2att naming convention.

Omni only supports TWRP recovery, use any alternate recovery at your own risk. Official TWRP for this device is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717916
Anyone flashing this should know the usual installation drill... Flash in recovery, flash gapps, wipe data/factory reset. If you don't know how to do these things, this package is not yet ready for users like you.

If you experience sensor problems after doing the firmware update using this zip
do a full clean flash of ColorOS 2.0.x and then reflash Omni

ATTENTION!!!
Starting with this build you need to flash the ColorOS 2.0.x firmware package BEFORE flashing the rom
You will find a link to that firmware package in the post above. If you need to go back to a previous
older version you need to flash the ColorOS 1.2.x firmware package BEFORE.
Recovery nandroid backups will NOT backup those firmware packages

Likely a redundant question. But I've only flashed Nexus devices.
I am on coloros 2.0.0 kk. Can I flash Omni lollipop over top? Or do I need to downgrade to 1.2.7i of Color OS?

So the root issue may be connected with AOSP 5.0.1 and not device bringup? I don't know what the cause may be.

It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue
Two choices:
Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin or /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel
OR
Try install a different busybox ( v1.23-1-Stericson works for me on stock ROM)
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel

I have built the latest kernel available, YOU need to update
Read Read Post Post #2 Requirements, and also Post #3 !!!!
Flashed kernel version 1.1. on IronROM V2 T705, and it works great! Initially, I had problems resulting in a bootloop after changing Wanam Xposed settings (which was with kernel 1.0). Now I am using wanam 1.05 and wanam's Xposed framework from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61142980&postcount=5296
No perfromance problems or bootloops since then. However, I cannot say whether the new kernel version or the new xposed framework did the trick.
Best, maris
*Update: After a fresh install of IronROM v2 T705, I got problems with wanam's Xposed framework resulting in boot loops (independent of the kernel, stock or skyhigh). Now I am using arter97's samsung lollipop xposed framework v4 generic from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463. Everything is fine again; just installed upintheair's new v1.2 skyhigh kernel, which is running great without any issues and very smooth in combination with IronROM v2 T705 and xposed.

I'll post this over here as I am having some problems :
OK, so I am back at work now so I have time to flash the new kernel ! My model is an SM-T700 wifi, I am using the same T700XXU1BOE5_T700BTU1BOD1 image same as the boot that I left you with, however I am getting a bootloop after flashing. It goes to the Samsung logo, and then I get the jingle, then the jingle again every couple of seconds.
Flashed with the above image with 1 full boot, CF_Autoroot / TWRP, then flash the kernel. I tried an older image T700XXU1BOD5 and get the same.
I ran through everything in posts 1 through 3, tried flashify with just boot from the zip file, same result. I made a backup of the kernel with Flashify and use that to get back onto a working system. Someone else also had this problem, but I did not see how they fixed it, do you have any ideas ?
No xposed, clean install with just TWRP / root.
On a side note, I also cannot get Synapse to work, keep getting the UCI error. This is after installing Busybox 1.23.2 to /system/bin or /system/xbin, resetting Synapse, clean install etc.
Are the 2 problems related ?
Edit, just tried flashing / cleaning up different versions of busybox from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929852 with still no joy, including the 1.23.1-STE mentioned as working
Edit 2, will Synapse actually work without having a custom kernel ? !

Without a supported firmware base, you probably will have issues. You need to test for yourself, same as others have.
BB - You need to read Post #3 again and follow the first choice.
Generally speaking no. What you see in Synapse is basically up to the kernel developer as controls are built into kernel ramdisk. Synapse just exposes them.
Well I have T700XXU1BOE5 as the base (same boot.img as I gave you), tried lots of combinations with busybox installed, not installed, moved to /sbin etc., Flashify, TWRP with the kernel, but still get the bootloop. Clean install after TWRP or dirty install from Nandroid.
