Cog comes with a lagfix. works great too
From my personal experience. No. I put my phone up against a coworker running Cog wiht the lagfix. I see no difference. I love Cognition, been running DG's work since Super Rooter. But in this case, I already did everything manually and the lagfix doesn't seem to make a difference. I'll wait for Voodoo, which apparently will be a while. But that's ok.
Ever since jh7 there has been no need for a lag fix.

Since i couldn't find any similar thread, here is my problem:
I used every Cognition ROM, since SRE 1.3.1c to Beta7, but always noticed that the SMS order was wrong.
I'd a 5-6 minutes difference between sent and received sms. So, my sent messages were located in the bottom, and the received in the top, making them difficult to read..
Now, i'm using Shep's ROM with xcaliburinhand Kernel, and i noticed that my SMS are place in order now! No timming issue!
But.. With Cognition Beta7 my battery lasted 25-40 hours!!
And, with Shep's ROM, only last 10!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
i can't even send a sms/mms at all at cog 2.2 beta7....
Juat waiting beta8

I am not sure What is going on with both of your issues, I have been using Cog on and off sense SRE started and have never had those issues, SMS ordering was never an issue and have not had trouble sending out mms. Are you guys useing TBU to restore settings?
Same here. I am on cog6 with no sms or mms issues.
My procedure is always the same:
- Stock with odin JF6
- Root
- Flash any ROM with Clockwork Recovery Mode
I never used any Backup (Except Google's contacts, GMail and Calendar). I never trusted any settings backup..
I'll try Cog B7 with xcaliburinhand's kernel, and others combinations..
But i really want to know if it's a Modem, Kernel or ROM issue, 'cause if it's a Modem fw issue, i could flash anything, and then, flash the Working (no issue) modem over.. Just to be prepared..
Thanks!
I think it's an issue with the Carrier timestamps. If you install Handcent and look at your messages, you'll see they will be put in order. I had the same thing happen to me a day or so after I installed 2.2, but never had it happen on 2.1

I noticed that there is one diff in how we flash a new rom
Odin one click
Master clear with odin one click
Root
Rom manager flash
you might want to back up with Titanium back up you user apps as the master clear will wipe the device. might be something left over from a stock flash that may mess you up. but that is just my 2 cents

Yep, it's a Carrier issue (and it get worst sending SMS between different carriers!) But, i had this issue in Stock Eclair, SRE Eclair, Cog Eclair and Cog Froyo.. It only gets fixed with Shep's ROM, that's the weird thing

Yes, i do the Master Clear too.. Also Dalvik, Cache, Battery and Data wipe from Clockwork..
Well.. Testing, after Back to Stock JF6, Master Clear, Data, Battery, Dalvik and Cache Wipe:
- Cognition 2.2 Beta7 > SMS timming issue
- Cognition 2.2 Beta7 + xcaliburinhand's Reoriented 2.0.1 Kernel > SMS timming issue
- Cognition 2.2 Beta7 + xcaliburinhand's Reoriented 2.0.1 Kernel + JH2 Modem > SMS timming issue
- Shep's Stock ROM + xcaliburinhand's Reoriented 2.0.1 Kernel > SMS timmng fixed
So, the only thing that fix this problem is the Shep's Stock ROM..

That's the reason I noticed it. I was texting my ex girlfriend who uses Sprint, my cousin on Verizon, one of my girl friends on T-Mobile, and my best friend on AT&T. Everyone was messed up except my best friend. Or maybe its cause the other three are female. Who knows. I'd place a wager on the Carriers just to be safe and not get yelled at. :-D

Hmm..
I had the MMS/SMS timing bug with Cog's 2.1.6 build.
I'm on Cog's 2.2.6 Froyo and haven't experienced any issues.
And my txts are all over the place... my brother who is on Sprint, a buddy in town on T-Mobile, and my sister-in-law who is on Verizon on a Kansas phone # (and I'm in Colorado).
I dunno.. seems to be pretty random.
Last load was Odin back to stock.
Then used ROM Manager to update to Cog's 2.2 build.
I'd like to flash to Cog 3.04 directly if possible without Odin'ing back to 2.1. Is it ok to flash directly to 3.04 and if so, what the best way to wipe everything first to start form as blank a state as possible? I'm without a windows PC right now...
Thanks!
hate to bump but if anyone can provide a quick answer... thx.
I flashed 3.04 over 2b8 without any problem.....
You can try that but no guarantee that it will work.you may run into problems and have to flash back to odin then you will be sol with out a computer

You should be fine flashing from one version to another. If you enabled lagfix I'd disable that first, and to be on the safe side do a CWM backup, but other than that you should be fine. I've been flashing another ROM back and forth without going stock many times without issue.
You can go and flash custom ROMs on top of each other and it might work, but don't be surprised if you boot into Cog 3.04 and have to deal with a bunch of force closes or other weird behavior.
I ALWAYS recommend people flash back to stock and Master Clear/GSM Master Reset. That gives you a blank slate to work with. It takes less than 10 minutes, but some just believe that's too much work/time for them.
Your call.
I've never had an issue flashing updates on top of Cognition. I'm pretty sure as long as your lag fix is the same between versions then there should not be any problems.
I flashed serendipity 5.0 over 4.3 last night with no problems. I just disabled lagfix before I did.

Thanks everyone for your helpful input.
Is it possible to master clear without going back to stock? I'd like for everything except the external sdcard to be cleared.
SO, earlier today Supercurio put together something special for those of us in Canada on the i896- a stock Rogers Froyo kernel with voodoo injected into it. Following logic, those of us on the stock Rogers Froyo should be able to have our cake and eat it too: a kernel modified especially from Froyo, intended for the Captivate, with voodoo lagfix but without the need to reflash an i9000modem or kernel. Here are the files:
Kernel: stock Rogers Froyo i896 w/ voodoo injection
Modem: Stock Rogers I896 UXJL1 Modem
Before trying a flash, I unlagfixed and backed up via Titanium Backup.
First I tried the kernel flash. I knew it wouldn't work with the modem, but I flashed it first to make sure there were no issues.
Rebooted into recovery- RED SCREEN
I did not enable the lagfix at this point. Just a straight reboot.
Regular boot screen; Rogers logo; Samsung Splash screen- then everything goes black. The home key buttons will light up and never go out if pressed. The phone stays like this until I pull the battery(I waited 25 min before I gave up).
I have tried various configurations regarding flash order(kernel/modem), I have repartitioned the card, factory reset before starting, everything I can think of, but this kernel won't boot past the splash screen.
However, when I revert to SpeedMod kernel(k13c) everything goes back to normal.
I would have thought I could flash this stock kernel over the i-9000 based kernel with the lagfix on both without issue, clearly I am wrong.
Can anyone see anything in my process that is inherently wrong, or even better would some other brave soul with stock Rogers Froyo be willing to try a flash? I wouldn't bother if this is your first crack at it though.
Thanks in advance to all who can help out.
So after wiping all caches and factory resetting, I get the following message at my Red Recovery screen:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File Exists)
Is this important?

I get that all the time. No idea what the hell it is and have had to manually select my GSM bands when I flash a new rom or wipe dalvik cache since it started. Other then that no problems seem to be caused by it, for me.
Call off the dogs- after I installed the driver package that was included with Odin 1-Click I managed to get a master clear and a flash to the AT&T stock.
I must have spent 3 hours installing different driver packages today.
A shame it didnt work out smoothly. I'd be interested but am far too new to risk the troubleshooting..

Well, I have some very good news. This little kernel seems to be pretty special. After getting myself back to Rogers Froyo, I have done a few tests. I am getting very solid Linpack scores of 15-16 mflops and Quadrant Standard scores of 1400-1500. Using CPU benchmark, we have scores of about 725 ms @ 1000 hz and 700 ms @ 550 hz.
These scores are very solid and are about 20-25% improvement over stock Rogers Froyo Kernel.
This is promising as the kernel is a native Captivate kernel and could do a better job of servicing the many Froyo ROMs out there in terms of simplicity and stability.
The stock modem still needs more testing in terms of gps fixes and accuracy and data speeds.
I'll get back to you about those shortly.
If you have thought about staying on Rogers Froyo, this would be a good start for improvement.

I would highly recommend this Kernel!! All the above benefits, plus fantastic battery life. The stock modem seems fine, although I've had better data transfer speeds and GPS locks from JL1 kernel, but this stock modem is perfectly fine.
Would love to see anyone else's results as well!
I like what I see so far. I am getting 1575 scores on quadrant (I know it doesn't mean much) but overall lag is gone.
I was a little freaked out this morning as the Rogers network was dead here this morning and I thought maybe I had done something with all this to kill cell / data. But everything cleared up after a few hours and I was back to normal.
Outcast, were you able to flash this custom Kernel without the issues that Clemmie came across? Much like phrenicthenub, I'd love to see the performance increase without the current bugs of custom ROMs, but I don't think I'm competent enough to troubleshoot if it all goes to hell.
As long as you disable any lagfixes and return any O/C or U/V kernels to normal you won't have these issues. Everything should work fine.

Did you guys do the 3e recovery fix first before being able to install CWM?
Hi guys... So i was trying to get SpeedMod to work with a i9000 modem like JK4, but my bluetooth is always noisy...
Right now, i have:
Latest SpeedMod kernel with LagFix enabled
JK4 Modem flashed.
What do i have to do to get this Rogers Supercirio's Voodoo kernel and modem ?
Thanks.
Elisha, I just took the plunge and got these flashed. Definately do the e3 recovery fix before setting up clockwork or anything else. That was the one part that gave me any trouble, but as soon as I got that sorted, everything went very well.
I'll try to pay attention to how things seem to perform and post my findings. Thanks for the encouragement again, Clemmie.

First you will need to boot into recovery and disable your lagfix. Back everything up with Titanium Backup. Download the files above to your root folder and reboot into recovery again. Using cwm, use the install zips option and flash both the kernel and the modem. Reboot yet again into recovery, clear your caches, then enable the new lagfix in your cwm options. It will take a while to convert your partitions from rfs to ext4, so be patient.

Thanks Clemmie,
I disabled LagFix from cwm and the speedmod kernel, rebooted, flashed modem with original JL1 modem, and then reflashed kernel with stock rogers froyo. backed everything up with Titanium backup. So i am currently back to stock, with a backup.
cwm is not in my recovery menu now, so if i use ODIN to flash the .tar version of supercurio's stock+voodoo kernel, does it contain cwm ?
ODIN with this kernel should work and then enable lagfix on first reboot by converting to ext4 right ?
Thanks alot, i am just starting with all this and want to make sure i understand everything before i take the plunge.
Thanks.

Thanks ! i'll try that a little later... i'll let you know how it goes...
Well, so far, this Kernel seems to be the best thing to ever happen. I consistently get a score of 1501 in Quadrant standard (not from a fresh boot or anything, and running beautiful widgets and things, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I know with most benchmarks you're meant to close as much as possible, etc) and things just seem to be nice and smooth overall. On top of that, the battery life is, all of a sudden, seemingly PHENOMENAL! All whilst using the stock ROM. Either one of those benefits alone would have made the flash worth it. This is the way this thing should have run from the beginning.
I'll test out how well the GPS works, and try to pay attention to my signal strength with WIFI and calls and report back.
Thanks I figured as much as I had to do the 3e fix after I accidentally upgraded to the official Rogers Froyo the first day I got the phone.

Ok, so i have used the tar version with ODIN3 v1.52 to flash stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I896-UXJL1. As i said, i was on stock kernel with stock JL1 modem.
Flash went great, took about 5 seconds, then rebooted. First reboot took about 7 or 8 minutes with a robot voice telling me the different steps it was in...
Everything workd without hickups... This kernel works realy well and speed is definitely there !
Thanks for the help guys...
I posted this in the CM7 earlier to no response...and, let's be honest, I'm impatient.
I did a search and didn't seem to find what I was looking for so I'll ask here:
From my understanding, MIUI is based off of CM7. The installation instructions for CM7 say one should be running a 2.2 installation with 2.2 bootloaders before installing, which I think is because CM7 uses custom 2.3 bootloaders?
That said, though, can one easily make the transition from MIUI to CM7? I ask because I currently don't have the USB cable that came with my phone, only a Blackberry microUSB that has a clunky bit on the end preventing it from being put in the phone nicely, and I don't want to flash back to stock using software because I'm scared it will come loose (it will, can barely keep it charging some days).
Can I just flash a CM7 zip through CWM like I do a MIUI update? Do I have to format anything other than the usual partitions?
Format system, cache, data, data data. Flash cm7. Factory reset, boot. Should do it

Thanks very much. As I suspected, just wanted confirmation.
FYI cm7 and MIUI use the eclair/froyo bootloaders. That is the reason you are supposed to be on 2.2 before flashing cm7. If you were on gingerbread before flashing then you would have had the gingerbread bootloaders which cause problems.
So, MIUI/CM7 is 2.3 running with 2.2 bootloaders?
