Hey guys,
Right now im running kingnexxusdesire rom 2.1 that includes an undervolted kernel as I understand it. I'd like to change to the undervolted overclocked kernel.
When I get the kernel which right now I have "boot-cm_2633.2-oc-uv-xtra-ram"
Can I change the kernel easily? If so, what are the steps?
Thanks
download kernel, put it in the root of your sd card, reboot into recovery, choose flash from zip .. done..
if you have root (what i assume ) download quickboot from the market, great tool for faster booting into recovery.
SUPER EASY, wow.
Thanks for letting me know! Most appreciated!
Actually, I tried all the kernels in .zip format like you said that were overclocked.
i get to the quietly brilliant screen, it finishes writing, then reboots over and over, what the heck?
Make sure you have the right kernel and compatible with the ROM you have right now. Kings ROM being an older ROM not sure if the .33 kernel work on that. Try the .32 kernels by pershoot. You might have to push the zimage and wifi module manually though.

Rather than ask how to push a zimage etc.. Can you tell me if there are any desire roms that have a 1.113ghz kernel preloaded?
I choose to use this rom instead because modacos bluetooth doesnt work and this one does for me.
I could help you either way and whatever you prefer to do.
But as far as desire ROM. If you can't use Modaco's you should give this a try, now this isn't really a full desire with sense UI but a touch of it. I loved the ROM though and if I wasn't satisfied with the FroYo this would have been my ROM.

He doesn't specify if it still has pinch homescreens, if it does I'll go with that, I dont really care much for the widgets myself which i could probably add later
nevermind, i just saw a screenshot, i love my pinch homescreens.
could you tell me how to push the zimages and give it a try? im trying to outdue my gf's evo so i can claim better phone LOL
I don't think it has pinch homescreen but it has the same effect when you press home button. The adw launcher that comes with the ROM is highly customize able.

LOL I knew this was coming... just flash the FroYo, shell be jealous of the JIT and the Flash lol.
Well I tried looking for the .32 OCed kernel but no luck... So if you find it, all you have to do is unzip the file, it will have the "zImagefile" and the bcm4329.ko file.
Now assuming you know a little bit about the basic adb commands do this simple steps:
While your phone is on:
- adb reboot bootloader
It will take you to the bootloader screen
- adb remount
- adb fastboot flash zimage "zImagefile" (Note: type the full file name, probably be zImage_cm-oc-uv something like that)
- reboot phone
Once phone is on.
- adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
- Set CPU speed via SetCPU app from market
You should be all set.

Hello again, going on my 4th new thread tonight (please no comments, Let's just say im starting to like phones ) Well anyways I wanted to max out my phone with an overclock kernal but I would rather find one that's compatible rather than brick my new phone. Could anyone suggest one? I tried searching the forums for a compatible kernal with no luck. Thanks

Glitterballs will work with that. You will want to download voltage app. I think it is in the op
Where exactly is it? I'm pretty much a noob and the only files i've downloaded and installed are .zips, so if you could explain that would be awesome.
What kernel does darkeys user?

To be safe disable lagfix

After boot, kernel will be updated

Reboot system
Select back up and restore
When booted up download voltage app
Kernel comes pre set to 1.2 ghz oc
I got until the recovery menu when I couldn't find the advanced ULK thing all I could find is Advanced and i couldn't find lagfix. I pressed something like fix permissions and then it fixed permissions. I rebooted into a screen that had Galaxy S I9000 with samsung at the bottom. Then a robotic lady voice said something long that i didnt catch and then it rebooted into that screen again and this time i listened and it said restore operation and rebooted so i took out the battery and it just keeps doing that. Please help!!!!!
Let it do it. Let it load. Voodoo is enabling. I was wrong about the lag fix on the kernel. Do not pull the battery again
It takes a couple of minutes. Man, I am sorry I have been using a different kernel and got crossed on what lag fix it has. I hope it loads, please in future do not panic and pull battery so quickly
Alright I'm sorry i just freaked when I couldn't even get into recovery mode. I let it sit but my dad is a senior member of the site and he tells me these stories of how people have new phones and they brick them out of the box, so when I heard that weird voice i flipped. How long does it usually take?
Couple of minutes. No more then ten
Ok It's been a long time and it's still just sitting there saying restore operation. At this point I don't care about the kernal, what can I do to get my phone back to normal or even factory reset???
Wait. Do you have allot of apps? It is converting all your data
As long as it is talking we are still moving along
Respond to my pm
No I just got this for christmas. I have ytt3r's version of Darky's ROM and as i was looking over it, I noticed all these little things like texts and there was ALOT of them.
Hi guys just got my galaxy S and I am currently running on Doc Rom's latest build with Hardcore 15Q 500hz kernel but I have a ton of questions I don't understand. I have been trying to read the forums as best as I can but I still can't find the answers I'm looking for. Please explain in layman's terms I cam from the Desire and N1 and things were pretty straight forward over there. ROM+Kernel+Radio
1. What's voodoo?? and Lagfix?? Kernels from what I understand but why are there so many spinoffs and variations and modifications?? Are they required? If I made a rom from docs kitchen does it come with these? Do I still need to install them after?
Because when I read the directions it says to close any lagfixes before flashing. Can anyone give me the correct sequence of what I am supposed to flash to the phone??
2. Is there an automatic text reflow feature for the browser similar to HTC SENSE wherein the text resizes even after you've really zoomed in and not just double tapped?
3. I read in doc roms kitchen that back light notification is included but I cant get it to work. Do I have to flash the kernel in BLN's thread? Wouldn't that overlap whatever kernel I got on my rom?
4. How do I get battery percentage for my rom?
5. Is there a mod wherein you can enable the home button to unlock the phone while in the lockscreen? Similar to the one Cyanogen is using for the desire and N1
6. Whats JPY / JS3 / JPX??? I assume its official firmware from samsung, is JS3 the newest?
Thanks for helping an extremely confused noob!
hmm right where to start ...... 1st of all voodoo is a kernel same as speedmod both have an option to install a lagfix (speeds up the phone basically ) but this is optional and is usually contained in CWM (ClockworkMod) CWM is a more advanced recovery method where you can flash new roms and apply tweaks do resets ect.. ( to get into recovery press Volume up + Home button + Power button all together )
there are so many versions of ROMs + Kernels because alot of people on here are developers and like to modify their phones.. If your not too sure if this will benefit you, i suggest you dont bother as 1 little mistake can turn your phone into a very expensive paper weight.
BLN is an app which will make the buttons light up if you get a txt,email,ect without lighting up the whole screen (which drains battery) there is a similar app names NoLed available in the market.
as for the automatic text reflow i dunno what that is if you mean multitouch this phone supports it ( pinch to zoom and all that **** )
JPY JPX JS3 are firmwares JS3 being the latest. and finally for the mod of making the home button unlock the phone i dont think ive seen that done on the SGS yet.. but there are alot of different Unlock screens you can get from flashing.
oh and the battery percentage thingy thats included in some roms. otherwise there is an app called circular battery ( google it )
but as said earlier.. if you do decide to customise your phone make sure you FULLY UNDERSTAND what you are doing.. if you have doubts dont do it, read a bit more and post some Questions on here till you are confident enough, as no body on here is responsible for damaging your phone except you !!...
Hope all that helps sorry for such a long post

When in CWM and tweaking lagfix options theres an item that enables it. Does this mean that by default the lagfix is turned off when I flash the kernel or rom? Is it recommended?
What does convert system to ext4 / RFS do? Is it recommendable?
Do I have to partition my sdcard or something for this to work?
Whats the tweak option and is there anything that I should do for better performance?
and lastly when I reboot after enabling lagfix it asks me if I should convert and it proceeds to backup. What just happened? Is there anyway to revert? Will it mess up my files?
Oh and btw I'm using Doc's Rom and theres an options under display to change my lockscreen. It gives me the option of changing from stock android, samsung or whatever else but it doesn't seem to work. Do I have to do something to enable it or is this still a WIP?

I read the spreadsheet but still cant understand what the difference between voodoo and speedmod kernel is. Shouldn't voodoo be bettter?
like everyone says on here about the battle of voodoo vs speedmod. there is no better / worse its personal choice both work brilliantly so u decide which to use.
as for lagfix its disabled as default but you enable it via CWM when speedmod asks to backup its best to do it incase of any trouble ( VERY RARE ) you do not need to partition your sd card.
ext4 is just where data is saved instead of rfs, its quicker this way hence the name LAGFIX and its optional, but it works
doing anything other than what samsung say is risky, but the clever people over here on XDA know what they are doing and thats what makes the SGS better. your files wont get deleted unless you do a wipe (manually or wipe version of ROM )
Oh and the lockscreens are changeable in 'settings' if not check out the threads ( or where you downloaded your ROM from )
I think I got it. Thanks buddy! Really appreciate it!
I was hesitant in posting this, however for whatever reason I am unable to find this information anywhere on these forums. It seems like the SpeedMod Kernel is draining my battery big time. Ex – I was at 75% when I went to bed, I just woke up (8hrs of sleep) and battery is at 16%.
These are the tweaks/features that I have turned on/off:
Tweak Options:
Enabled options
IOSCHED
KERNELVM
MISC
CIFS
BLN is disabled
Not sure if there is anything else I should be looking for, turning off/on. I was unable to find any tutorial for SpeedMod but from my understanding it’s supposed to slightly increase battery life.
Thanks in advance for the help!
1. Enable only the 'recommended' tweaks in CWM.
2. Uninstall and delete inactive apk folders to clean up the system.
3. Turn all GPS off
Lower brightness or use auto
Disable auto updating of apps
4. Once you CLEAN your phone up & start with a clean slate, you'll be able to diagnose what the problem is easier
5. The speedmod kernel which you are using is NOT the cause for the drastic battery drain you're experiencing.
Also, what ROM are you using?
MIUI
Thanks for the reply. I have already been doing most of that, screen brightness has always been set to low, GPS was always off, I also turned off Background Data so I think that would take care of auto updates?
Running the stock 2.2 ROM, I did however had to reflash this stock ROM last week due to instability and my aps crashing.
I followed your advise and disabled CIFS.
2. Uninstall and delete inactive apk folders to clean up the system.

Do you mean delete Aps that I'm not using? Or is APK something else?
If you flashed this kernel by itself after flashing a rom that did not included as part of the rom, you need to wipe cache partition and the dalvik cache from recovery then reboot your phone. The first boot may take a while but it's just rebuilding the cache. This some times clears up the problem you're describing.

alright, ive also heard alot of complaints from people I talk to on the phone - background static (white noise) + echo.. is it possible this is related to the kernel ?
That is a modem issue. Look for the modem thread stickied in development they will tell you to flash another modem but they got all the download links. The most popular one is the jk4.
Sent from my phone on vacation
Thanks! I just reset the cache and dalvik cache, seems to be draining at same rate.. i think.. anything else that could be draining my batt?
Im trying to flash the modem using odin but for whatever reason the pdf is not recognizing the file, is it because its .Zip? Then ill just change it to a .Rar.. Or is there another way i should be flashing the modem?

not using any rom! running 2.2
Thanks for the help 1tontomato! I think the issue with my modem has been fixed, I phoned my self and there was no echo. Now on a side note, do you think the battery could have been getting drained quickly because of my old modem? For example if it has to struggle to get/keep network coverage?
If your running stock froyo 2.2 uckb1 when you switched to the speed mod kernel becomes incompatible with the stock modem this is the reason for the poor call quality. It sounds like you are new to flashing roms you should try and read up on what the differences are between the stock i897 US i896 Candian and the i9000 european phones. All the firmware for these phones can be made to work on the captivate if you just understand what is compatible, and learn all the acronyms for the firmware. Happy reading(;~}

just an update - did a recalibrate on my battery last night, went to sleep with 100% batt life, woke up with 89% remaining. Awesome! Reminds me of my crackberry days
Glad you got this ironed out.
Rule of thumb: i9000 kernels with i9000 modems, same with cappy kernels & cappy modems.
When I said delete inactive apk, I mean any apps you don't use, or need, get rid of. You can download super manager, enable root function in settings, browse to system folder, and delete apks you don't use, like email.apk, mptapplication.apk, stuff like that.(just an example)
MIUI
Assuming this app can delete apps i wouldn't otherwise be able to, such as kobo? Would i need to purchase the full version to have access to this feature? I can't find it on the free version.

I was able to get my gps working real good after flashing to stock gingerbread 2.3.4. I am rooted but did not feel like going through all of the steps for flashing any roms so I searched and searched and finally was able to fix it.
This is simple for those with clockworkmod but for those like me that can not use it this was successful for me. Also, I cannot take credit for any of this I am just providing a simple step by step for those who want it, since none of this fix or even the grouping of files was done by me.
follow this link and dl GPS_Fix_Dlev4.2.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146176&page=154
I believe that with clockwork you can simply flash it but I cannot use cwm so I can not say for sure.
I was unable to rename it to update.zip and install it so i manually moved the files to my phone using root explorer.
first i replaced the gps.conf with H3llstorm's
so copy and paste the gps.conf in the /system/etc folder to your /system/etc folder on your phone.
Than I copy and pasted the vendor folder found in /system to my /system folder...../system/vendor did not exist.
After that I rebooted and went from 88 seconds to lock on 3-6 sats, but unable to maintain a lock while driving, to 9 seconds to lock and maintain a lock on 7-9 sats. I tested it on a 30 min drive through local and highway roads and it was constantly locked on. I stopped it at the end restarted nav, relocked quickly and came home with it working smoothly, I also purposely veered off course to see how it would react and it quickly re-routed.
I think the big change is the gps.conf, that h3llstorm made, good looks, and am not really sure if the vendor folder does anything but it worked so i recommend trying it anyway. The 88 seconds i was referring to was also with the gps.conf file found at

It did not seem to do anything for me. This is not really a question but I am relatively new here so I cannot post a thread in the development section. I hope this helps anyone that does not want to flash anything more than stock gb.
I like the idea... the question is do we have to have 2.3.4 stock? Or will it still work with a 2.3.3 modded rom?

He took the fix from Dlev 4.2 which is a modded (reoriented) rom. If u ask if it's for stock cappy based roms only, I would say it's not. Stock roms come withOUT any gps aid and so it's hit or miss thing, while in modded roms the chefs usually have a fix backed in their roms. I'm guessing that's y he pointed out that the fix is recommended for those who are on stock, but no matter what rom your on feel free to experiment.

Yea he`s right i just said stock because i assumed the rom would have it preloaded, from what ppl have told me its worked with every version of gb regardless of rom or not. Also i was alluding to the fact that i with stock cant use cwm.
