help on Custom Frequency Config

im on unhelpful kernel v1.7 with cognition, with voodoo lag fix. i dont know why setcpu isnt detecting my freq_volt_table file. can someone please help me out, i dont know what to do. thanks
Flash a 2.2 rom with an oc kernel. much better and you don't have to mess with the freq volt table anymore or setcpu
newter thanks, would you kindly point me in the direction of which 2.2 rom on this site right now is the best and easy to flash? thanks
Purely subjective obviously but serendipity, docs, darkys, perception phoenix are all good as I am sure others are as well. Kernel options if you aren't happy with what is in the Rom are glitterballs and setirons which are oc/uv capable. Just look through the development section. They're all easy to flash through clockwork recovery and kernel swaps are a breeze with sgs kernel flasher app.

newter thanks again for a response. im looking at using phoenix. my question now is do i need to use odin to return myphone to stock and then download rom manager and flash the zip file? then how would i go about overclocking and underclcoking? and after installing phoenix can i use odin later if i want to restore my phone to stock?

[Q] Need some help badly please

hi to all ive just rooted my sgs using one click root (at last), i now have superuser installed and rom manager but how the hell do i install the clockwork recovery and hopefully then some type of free lag fix.

What firmware do you have?
If gingerbread you can flash the voodoo kernal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975349
This will give you clockwork and will give you an ext4 lagfix
Hopefully Done It Now
I've done it (finally i think),
my kernel version says:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #Dark_Core_1.0
Build number is: Darky's v9.5.xwjs8
But as i switch the phone on it come up with Darky's v9.4 ?????
Hopefully i will get used to this, if you can could you please let me know if all the info above is right and whats the best rom for 2.2.1?????
Cheers Madant2011.
looks like you installed Darkys rom instead of what you wanted hehe....
rom
when i had rom manager i just downloaded what ever darky's rom that was on there.lol.
Just woundering what is the recomended rom for sgs 2.2.1 ?????
Cheers madant2011
The boot animation for darkys 9.5 does display 9.4 so don't worry about that. The darkys Rom is very good but you could upgrade your kernel to dark core 1.4 or use speedmod k13e kernel
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
kernel
Just wondering how do i update the kernel to 1.4, i already have voodoo speed mod (I Think).
download it from the darky rom site and if you get the cwm version, just flash it with your recovery
also visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 for information on speedmod kernel, that is what i used when on 2.2.1, very fast and good batt life
Thanks
Thanks for all your help. just reading the link and it says it wont work because i used the one click root (I think).
Cheers madant2011

[Q] Rooting and Installing ROM on GT I9000

Hi,
I finally got a Samsung Galaxy S after finding a great a deal on it. I'm aware that there are several ways on how to root this device. However, due to that I don't know which to use.
Currently I'm running on 2.2.1 Froyo XXJPY with Kernel Version of [email protected] #1.
I'm not totally clueless about rooting as I've done it already on my HTC Wildfire.
Could someone please advise me which is the most up-to-date and safest method of rooting? Link would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit confused about installing ROMs. I used to use CWM on my HTC Wildfire which was incredebly easy to do. Would it be the same on my Galaxy S?
I'm planning to test out MIUI, DarkysROM and such ROMs. Would these ROMs have the LAGFIX feature integrated in them as well?
I apologise if a thread like this has already been posted a thousand times but I just can't come up with a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy s Vibrant the I9000M and I rooted and unlocked mine today using SuperOneCick and then The Galaxy s unlock by helroz on the app market took a grand total of 6 minutes
Thank you! Now, that's one down.
Now just want to know about flashing ROMs e.g. MIUI, DarkyROM and such.
Do I need to root my SGS first to be able to flash custom ROMs?
I also noticed that you would also have to flash firwares and kernels. Do I need to this before flashing custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.
In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.
and from that its easy
As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.
use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.
read a little and after that have fun!!
And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.
Hi,
Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz
So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.
When would I need root then?
Is that right?
This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.

That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).
And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.
Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?
It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's
I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.
sorry for this nooob question....
new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????
sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.
I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.
So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.
The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.
So,yes you are good to go.

Gold card?? what??
Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?
Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?
Really appreciate all your help Bork84!
Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.
As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.
but I am not an expert on that.
from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.
So i cant give you a 100% answer

[Q] Anybody from Newcastle (UK)?

hello guys,
I am looking for someone who is able to flash my friends Samsung galaxy s i9000. It has still the Froyo software on it. I successfully flashed my to ics but I am not able to do this with the other device. It has a strange basebuild no. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anyone help me? I would be really thankful.
Cheers
Is no one able to help me?
The baseband is the modem. Should make no difference to which rom you flash. Is it on eclair, froyo or gingerbread?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sorry, just noticed you've said froyo. You just need to flash stock gb rom, then the semaphore kernel to match for cwm and root, then you're good to go for any custom rom you wish.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
This smartphone has JM1 installed. Sorry but I am an absolutly newbie. I only was able to flash my one with a step by step guidance.
I haven't found anything about JM1 How to flash etc.
I am a little bit desperate now ....
Search for a stock gb rom (jvu/jw1 are recent) with gb bootloaders and follow the flashing instructions using odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sorry, where do I find something like this? After flashing with Odin I will be able to put ICS from teamhacksung on it?
See perka's jvu thread in dev section, there is an odin flashable download.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Once flashed, boot up, turn off, then flash cf-root kernel for jvu - use the search function to find thread or go to read first couple of pages of perka's thread for a link.
Once you're rooted, you'll be good to go.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Is it this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ?? You mean JVU is compatible with JM1?
Thank you for your help!
If you're friend needs a rom i'd start by either flashing Darky's ROM 10.2 RE with full instructions including a vid tutorial on that thread
or
Flash Jetpack v8.2 with instructions and a vid tutorial in that thread.
The reason why i recommend those two ROMS, is they're particularly easy to flash and have good support.
I'd start with Darky's ROM and then move to other ROMS from there if you want, because it's a fast, very stable rom with a brilliant community for support. Plus you dont need much expertise to flash it, and it comes packaged with root and clockwork mod recovery installed, so you dont need to do anything to prepare your phone for flashing. This ROM does it all. If you wanna move off from there, well then you're all set. But if you're friend just wants a fast stable ROM, then he's all set with Darky. If he wants a bit extra speed, then move to Jetpack V8.2 it's stable and no bugs and its very fast and features thunderbolt! tweaks preinstalled, which are custom tweaks written by a guy called pikachu01 and they improve the SGS very well. They dont require too much expertise to install, but this saves you hassle and gives you all those added benefits from thunderbolt!.
If you're really keen on this teamhacksung ICS build then go to the darky rom and then from there install teamhacksungs build. Just make sure you read carefully to know what you're doing.

Flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then flash a custom kernel like semaphore. After that you can install ics.

how to overclock the Cappy

our cappy is fast as it is on 4.2 but i have yet to overclock a phone yet and i hear its not like taking the risk of OC your computer so i would like to try it out on the cappy first. so i have googled this already and it comes up with somone already OC it to 1.2 ghz which i would be fine with but in order to OC you need to flash a kernal i think it said? i am not fimilular with kernals with all of the phones i have messed with i have yet to touch kernals, the only time i have flashed a kernal (had a interesting custom recovery) was to root my cappy to put CM on it and got CWM after. i dont see the points of them other than more customization which im not interested in, so how would i go about doing this can someone help me out please?

You do indeed need a custom kernel that allows it. Flashing them is fairly simple, you just need a Odin flashable version if you don't wanna go the custom ROM way.
Make sure that your kernel is made for the current version your phone is running and that it's for the I897! As per your signature, Corn kernel would be your best option as it is for GB.

as of last night i flashed Cyangenmod to get CWM and then flashed paranoid android 3.99, mines a I896 btw i think since i got a bootloop its on At&t/firmware. (only useing on wifi for now) i had corn kernel before to get a recovery and root but if i want to OC it would i have to get corn kernel again? it was a pretty slow boot up every time i turned it on with the stock rom.
No you don't have nor want to. Corn is for GB, if you flashed CM, you're probably on JB.
You'll just have to flash a JB kernel that allows OC (like devil).

Buddy, read carefully what kernels are compatible with what ROMs and what Android versions.

so i was looking through some of my stuff on my cappy (cyangenmod 10.1.3 on it) and i looked at the performance option and it has the option to overclock it to 1.2 GHz, would i have to flash a special kernel? or am i fine like this?
Default CM kernel supports 1.2GHz step overclock, just set it and test for stability issues. Nothing else is needed.

first of all the t211 is a tablet not a phone . you have a dual core clocked at 1.2ghz im sure thats pretty fast i think its because you have too many apps. if you still want to overclock ask at the q&a section of its offical forums here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3 . cyanogenmod sometimes have the option to overclock their devices, i would check that out as well

OC is a kernel option so simply flash a kernel that allows it. That being said, you're not on the right sub-forum like Trozzul mentioned. Be sure to flash one for your tablet. OC has its disadvantages so make sure you read about it before going through with it.
