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.
I am new to the android world, and reading about what to do with my shiny new Galaxy.
I read about roms, JPa, JPM, JP6 and so on. What is the difference between all of these roms, and why should one use these, rather than the official Samsung versions?
Next, I read about applying cf-root kernels. What is the benefit of this?
If there is a nice peace of reading on this, I would be greatfull.
Thx.
All Rom tweak the sgs in there own way. Some don't like how sgs is and changed that.
There also custom kernels.
This is often to speed up the sgs.
They can tweak some settings or converting the filesystem to a better one.
I do preferred original firmware with a custom kernel.
I use my own kernel and use ext2 filesystem to make the phone fast.

Pretty much as DamianGto said its a personal choice i also go for stock firmware jpa in my case from samfirmware with cf root kernel. Custom kernels do various things from spead tweaks to colour adjustments. I'm running stock jpa with cf root kernel this gives you root with 2e recovery then i just used oclf from the market for the lagfix had this combo for a while and works perfect.
I would stay away from cf-root kernel. Its way to big and a bad way to root.
Oclf was good, but its an old way to lagfix. You should use a kernel isteed. Its smother and all is faster.

Thank you.
I'm not sure what is the firmware and the kernel. And not yet sure what all those different jpm, jpa, jpk, jp6 versions mean and do.
Furthermore:
I have flashed froyo, using odin, with the JPM version.
Now I found out that I have that gps problem too. The default *#*#1472365#*#* option does not work on my sgs. Any sugestion on this?
Ho.
Jpm is not the latest firmware.
In froyo you use this *#3214789650#

hello, i want to flash my sgs to froyo, i am looking in the custom roms do you guys recommend any custom roms or kernels... i dont want to use the stock ones cuz i know there is always something you dont need and you dont use...
Do you think is better to use OCLF or voodoo with ext4?
thanks!
Well its a personal taste what you use.
I only use my own kernel to speed up the system and get more memory. The rest i use mod i se and like. I have not seen any rom that have things s want.
Oclf is old and you should use kernels with lagfix.
Use ext2 if you want a fast filesystem.

Browse around in the android dev subforum, I'm using doc's rom, bunch of other people use darky's.
If you use a custom kernel, those usually have a lagfix inbuilt which you enable in the recovery menu, you don't need to use voodoo or OCLF on top of that. (Custom roms usually have custom kernels)

i just updated to darkys 7.8 rom its fast but score is low with quadrent only at 1100~
i used to use OCLF which convert the partition to ext2 however darkys already use ext4 for file system so i dont know if this gonna do any good
so which lag fix should i do and where to get it from
thx
Apply voodoo from recovery.
It's included in Darky's, but not activated.
Its fast but quadrant is poor .
Suggests quadrant is a poor tool .
jje
Quadrant was reliable until Froyo appeared. From then on it became irrelevant.
applied
thx
take no notice off quadrant scores they mean nothing
Someone is concerned about his ePeen.

I would ignore Quadrant scores, they are pretty much obselete.
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.

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..
