Re: [How-To] Samsung Captivate Root Froyo, Install ClockworkMod a
You don't have to go back the Eclair to run CM. The only time you have to revert to stock for CM is if you installed anything with Gingerbread bootloaders. Otherwise, install clockworkmod, and go.
The instructions are because some builds can't use Odin one-click without soft bricking. It usually applies to builds 1010 and above, but I'm not sure about anything in the 1100's.
Overclocking won't save battery life, but undervolting will. It's not in stock CM, but you can install a custom kernel that will let you do it. You'll need the Voltage Control app to do it.
Hey folks. First, thank you for all the tips/tricks you provide. I've successfully rooted my Captivate and enabled sideloading with instructions I've found here. Initially, that's all I wanted, but now I'm interested in CyanogenMod.
I've searched and read numerous posts, and maybe I'm just confusing myself with all the information I've found, but I have a question you may be able to help with.
If I want to flash CyanogenMod, do I HAVE to ODIN back to Eclair first? My Captivate came stock with Eclair, and was upgraded to Froyo via Keis. Also, the ODIN instructions have a reference to the build number in the back of the phone. My build number is 1101, and the reference only discusses build numbers starting with 10.
I have also read a lot about overclocking and saving battery life. Can you provide insight on how I can accomplish this? My understanding is that some ROMs have this built in, but does CyanogenMod?
Thank you in advance!
