nah, because idk how to do a logcat. i doubt this rom would ever work because the captivate has a different cpu architecture we us omap 3 but the captivate uses hummingbird but if u want to try something you can try to port cm 11 from the galaxy player 3.6 github sources for 3.6https://github.com/androthan?tab=repositories (official dev @Androthan) he also has a ready built kernel source (just needs compiling) for booting 4.4.X for the 4.2.

I have uploaded a new build, please see if it's working as for porting cm11, I don't think I've got the skills needed to do so plus I don't have linux on my pc and am not willing to.

---

Can anyone confirm if the new build's working now?

It seems that the error for the first one is just a problem in the updater script, after getting the error, can you please go to advanced and then select show log and take a photo or something. If I get this to install, it will probably boot, can you try using the meta-inf of the "other ported rom" in the galaxy sl one (delete the old meta-inf folder in the galaxy sl one and replace with the "other ported rom's" one)
Thank you, you've been helpful

Thank you for the pic, did you try deleting the meta-inf in the galaxy sl port and replacing it with the meta-inf from the other build, since that one installed successfully, it should mean that the updater script works.
