hi, i'm new to android, and just get my captivate(rogers) few hr ago. and upgraded to 2.2
i did some research, mostly saying that 2.2 captivate has screen lag problem
and i know it can be fix, by lagfix, but how do i start?
i know there is some app in market to do that, but is it safe?
what happen if my phone become brick ?
if i use the ryanZA's one click lag fix 2.0, do i need to root my phone?
if yes how do i root? z4root?
please help me. thank you
Go to the Captivate Development section and the go to stickies and then read captivate directory. In there should be a link to a guide to rooting the rogers captivate.

yup! pretty much.. You should also look into the voodoo lagfix as it is much better than oclf.
I would avoid oclf. It is obsolete

thank you very much.
i installed oclf already. will it cause problem if i undo it and uninstall ext2 tools?
also, i used SuperOneClick rooted my phone, is it good or bad?
i search voodoo and got this thread [KERNEL] Project Voodoo stable, lagfix.....
is this the right one?
which one should i use XYJS3, XXJPY, XXJPX??
my phone is Froyo.UXJL1

That one would probably be decent. undo ext2 and uninstall oclf. Get neldar's sgs kernel flasher app from market and back up your current kernel, then install the new kernel. if any problems arise, simply restore your previous kernel with sgs kernel flasher. good luck!

thanks....and thank you so much, letting me know oclf is not good....
it take me some time to uninstall it oclf....fail few time when uninstalling ext2 tools...after researching on google, finally undo lagfix, uninstall ext2 tools, uninstall oclf.
and i installed sgs kernel flasher.
and which one should use XYJS3, XXJPY, XXJPX??.
it dont look right for my i896.
sorry for my stupid questions.
The one you mentioned earlier, or one of these should work for you.
Speedmod - Based on JPX Android 2.2.1 kernel source:

Firebird 2 v0.4 - Based on Giorgio Armani Android 2.2 kernel source
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912684
Both of these are fast as well.
Hey guys, I'm also interested in upgrading from OCLF to the voodoo lagfix; how will flashing the kernel give me a performance improvement? Will voodoo work without the kernel flash?
*EDIT*- Also, does voodoo lagfix for the i-897 work for the i-896? I'm on Rogers.

thanks again.
i flashed to the firebird. works well score around 1450~1589
but every time i reboot i896(also when it got fully charger-ed), when i got into contact, it take about 5~10sec to load up the contact. is it normal?
Am I able to install the Voodoo lag fix on my Captivate? I know the AT&T version is supported but I rather not brick my device. Please respond!
Thanks,
Androidfann
I have a Rogers Captivate, and I have used Voodoo for a while.
Make sure you have root access, and go nuts. It really does improve the quality.
have u used voodoo with 2.2?
i just got the captivate and am now on stock 2.2 with root and oclf installed. is it worth changing to voodoo?

OCLF uses ext2, which is less safe than ext4, which is used by Voodoo. If you want Voodoo, flash the JJ4 + Voodoo kernel in the dev section.

Depends. The newer Kernals really unlock a lot of features that we didn't have before, and you don't have now.
If you use your phone as your media player, than the benefits of Voodoo sound were enough to make me switch.
hey guys, i got the official rogers 2.2, can i still use voodoo? what good roms use rogers 2.2 as a base and include voodoo? any suggestions?
Hey folks, another Canadian Rogers Captivate user here...just wanted to confirm if I can use the Voodoo stable 5.4.1 for Froyo 2.2.1 as it looks like I'm on 2.2 stock (and rooted)? I'm new to android and a bit scared, but the Voodoo fix seems easy enough..
No one seems to be answering the main question posed here.
For us STOCK Rogers froyo users which version of voodoo should we use?
I am not running a custom rom, I have not used Odin (used Kies to install official froyo update). I can't seem to find a version of voodoo lagfix specifically for stock Rogers 2.2. If anyone e has it installed can you point us in the right direction?

Hi there to all asking about Voodoo for Rogers,
I have tried suckerpunch (based on speedmod)
Also tried the newest speedmod 13c
No problems with either.
I personally have tried voodoo (5.4.1 and the one for att captivate) with no luck at all.

People have been using the SpeedMod kernel which is the Rolls Royce of kernels; it enables a lot of the Captivates features and power. However, the Kernel is based on the i9000 kernel, which is the sister handset to the Captivate. The kernels are compatible across both phones, but the stock modems on captivates don't seem to do as well with some setups; you'll see this in the sprawling thread dedicated to that topic. Some people will flash an i9000 modem as well, and people seem to have varying results with different combinations.
Having said that, if you don't want to use bluetooth, the stock modem is perfectly serviceable. You could go ahead and flash your SpeedMod kernel and see vast improvements is phone function without tweaking in the handset's general recovery menu. There's also plenty there to keep the tweaksters busy
However, new to the scene is the same developers amalgam of his voodoo lagfix in a stock Rogers Froyo kernel. I'm running it now and I am still testing and checking things, but it seems fine though. There are some caveats to respect though, I just spent nearly an entire day getting my phone back to Stock Froyo after doing a bad job of 'un'lagfixing before flashing kernels. However, if it's your first endeavour into flashing or modifying your phone's software, it would be a relatively safe bet. You should not have any lagfix installed nor should you even think about doing it without doing a Titanium Backup of your phone, which would mean rooting.
Hope that helps a bit.
Clemmei.. I saw in the description of your phone that has the official version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 AT&T Gingerbread in your captivate ... How did you install, by odin? I have a Captivate I897 UCKB1, i´m interested in this oficial Rom.. Works fine?? And what version i need to chose for my modems.. Thanks!!

There is a 1-click Gingerbread UCKF1 thread in the dev forum. Thats what I am currently running and its working well so far.. The only issue I have is my GPS is crap.. but it was crap with stock froyo aswell so no big deal there.
I'm on the rogers i896 also.

It's sort of officially unofficial. It would seem to be a prebuild for a forthcoming Gingerbread release, it's tight and a great daily driver.
I did use Odin; follow the usual safety procedures and all will be well. The modem that comes with the package is great, but my 4G no longer works, it's 3G for now, but I got terrible 4G speeds anyway, so there's not much of a downgrade there.
The GPS did not function so great straight away, but I keyed in the code *#3214789650# - Settings - SUPL Settings, and changed the server to supl.google.com and the server port to 7276. I got much better results from that configuration.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the help of gps friend ... I have it installed and this great .. But you have some voovoo installed, can not find any on the net .. The voodoo 5.5.x served me just to change the start GTI9000, I do not like .. Thanks for your help..
I know there is CM7 but are there any other more stable Gingerbread ROMS for the Captivate?
MIUI
10char
CM7 for captivate is pretty stable. If you want better battery life, get TheEscapist's kernel and UV it.
CM7 is really the only one. There is MIUI, which I personally use and enjoy, but its based off CM7, so it can't really be called any more stable.
My suggestion is to wait a few weeks, and surely stability will improve as CM7 moves out of beta.
Darky is also working on gb rom. Its in beta as well. So something else to look out for

Concerning Darky's GB ROM has anyone read if it going to be like his 9.0 version which could be used for i9000 or Captivate? Or are we going to to have to Flash a Captivate ROM and Kernel to it ourselves? I post this on Darky's Forum but never saw or I just missed the answer to this.
Thanks

ofcourse he will make it for I9000 but there are many devs who help us by porting it for captivate...so lets hope....someone does it for GB rom too
I need help with my kids G1.
What is the best rom that's. Run stable on G1 nowadays?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
you could try froyo by laszlo 5.2,cos-ds,gingeryoshi etc..
For my ol G1 donut or froyo roms were the best for it, things got a little iffy when it was using Gingerbread or even a sense rom . Donut is the fastest though hands down, even w/o JIT.
I have tried a great number of roms and I can tell you that the best one is the PadronFroyo, the only problem is that I don't know if the italian is the only language, you can google it!
You can try SuperAosp. It is stable and fast.
If you want to run Froyo then its Froyo by Laszlo. And for Gingerbread Ginger yoshi or ezGingerbread by ezTerry..
Try Cyanogen ROM, really good one
now i'm trying froyo by laszlo. i think it's good. don't use padron froyo, because this version no supports bluetooth and screen rotation

Froyo by laszlo is the most stable froyo rom. Make sure to use EXT4 partition with it.
froyo yoshi, froyo by laszlo and ads_magpie are good.
If anyone has DREAMteam froyo or LMCFroyo could they share the files please
