samsung user confused - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm confused, i want install last froyo rom, but i don' undestand that rom....
now i have JPK rom with lagfix OCLF. I don't undestand what is voodoo, i know that OCLF after some day is no longer efficient as before-. is there some lagfix permanent ?

Thread belongs in Q&A. Obviously.

I dont think you'll fix the lag permanently... Vodoo is for eclairs if i am correct, dont know if it works with 2.2's.. Use OCFL by Ryanz if you need. But tbh atm with JP6\JPM i am not even using lag fix.. dunno maybe is just my particular phone, but i havent got any lag even in my stock Eclair 2.1.. neither in JPK and now its even better in JP6.. must be luck or something.

What To install (lagfix+rom+tweaks) for SGS i9000

Hey all i wanted to kno what to install to have a smooth, stable & fast phone cause atm im running the Froyo rom from samsung but the phone feels laggy.
Any suggestions?
Links would be usefull
Thx in advance
W.
try Voodoo, seeems to be pretty stable http://project-voodoo.org/
My two cent:
Froyo "from samsung" is a pre-release beta, if you want a stable version, install the official rom for your device (the one available trough kies) and wait for the REAL froyo release.
Don't think they change.much.
The main reason what for some icon did disappear or did not installed when upgrade.
The best lagfix i know right now its z4mod.
Its fast and lagfree.
I also have super optimized kernel.
But you need to know how to flash with odin.

[Q] best firmware (rom) for SGS ?

hey all member i dont know if there already exists this thread, but what do you think is the best firmware for the galaxy s ?
(ps:sry im new to anroid ^^)
Flash the latest firmware 2.2 - JP6
If I were you, I would directly flash a ROM with integrated lagfix.
There is DocRambone with his ROM,
there is Tayutama,
there are several other ROMs.
Or you try mine, so you don't have to apply different steps to get a fast Galaxy S
thx @ darkyy
yeah the most important thing for me is [....] speed ^^
my sgs is sooo [....] slow xD
is there a difference between
tayutama , docrambone, and yours?
MOD EDIT: Offensive language removed
vanilla rom is nice
Shouldn't this be in Q&A?

Jpm/jp6 firmware.
Then it up to you and your skills.
I would start with z4mod on stock firmware and convert filsystem to ext2 with z4mod.
In the process you learn to flash.and what things are.
You phone will be fast and lagfree.
Then you can look for other kernel that's out here if there things you like.
You can also do what other say here and flash a Rom.
But you will not have the same control over the system.
If you want to change Rom you also need to start all over and install all apps again.
You don't need that with z4mod.
But z4mod and many roms are very good and solve the lag for you.
Sent from GT-I9000 Jpm OS kernel with z4mod
i didnt find a "good rom" either this time so using "stock android lock screen file" and "battery mod version d" and "universal lag fix kernel" (BLN on, ext4 or jfs, some tweaks on)
also using fancy widget and a blackground and launcher pro plus
i'm quite happy with it at the moment - i deleted some samsung apk from /system to make space too, else u can't make the mods

Voodoo isn't compatible with JPK. It's mentioned in the documents.
Flash JPO over it, and apply voodoo to that. Or try flashing Chainfire's CF-root kernal over JPK if you want to try salvaging your apps. DISCLAIMER: Not sure what'll happen if you flash CF-root kernal over it. I think you'll loose your apps anyway?
z4mod is compatible with JPK, if you really want to use JPK (not sure why you would?).

Go to the newer JPO or JPA, try hardcores kernel over it. THE BEST experience.

What should i do next?

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

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??

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.

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.

[Q] Rogers Captivate Voodoo LagFix

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..
