[Q] Best options with low risk

Guys, I know this is an annoying question and you'll probably send me to search the threads... sorry for this.
The situation here is that XDA has a so huge content and so many solutions for the Galaxy S i9000 that I just can't choose the best firmware, kernel and lagfix combination for me.
I'm messing around with a lot of this combinations and I've passed thru some tense situations with "semi-bricks"... my heart can't take it any more...
Now I have my phone with an untouched XXJPO Froyo and I just would like to know a nice and secure way to go. I'm done for now with this adrenaline picks.
I'd really appreciate any help here!
Thank you!

Well don't do nothing. Its safest
If you want more speed then you can choose from many things.
I would go for Z4mod.

Thanks a lot Demian. This is exactly what I was thinking. The only thing that I don't like keeping the original kernel is that I just dont hava clockwork recovery.
I think that playing with the Galaxy S is a little bit risky because when we flash this ROMs we are flashing the bootloader together... I whent into panic a couple of times with semi-bricks and now I just want to be more carefull.

No you don't ever flash the bootloader. If you 3-button combination works then you can't brick this phone.
Learn to use odin. Its simple. Then you can do whatever you want.
If you flash my kernel with odin.
Just choose the kernel like pda. Do nothing else in odin. Then flash it.
The phone will restart and you got a custom kernel with CWM.
Then you can root it if you like.
If you root you can also change the filesystem.

This is really nice, Damian. If i use your kernel I can use z4mod just to convert the filesystem without needing to patch the kernel. Am I right?
I read about your kernel and about z4mod ladfix and I'll probably stick with this combination till Samsung comes out with some thing intelligent. I just cant understand... If this system is based in Linux and Linux systems works better with EXT filesystems, why Samsung is trying this RFS thing?

Right. The kernel is already patched and its just to flash it.
I use it and i think its good

Voodoo lagfix

My brother has a new captivate but does not want to flash a new rom, crazy i know. But he does like the snappy way my phone runs. Can some one tell me and point me to if possible the newest lagfix that can be installed on stock froyo.

Having the lagfix will require a flash. the lag fix is built into the custom kernel.

Any way that the voodoo lagfix can be flashed to his stock kernel so that the only thing modded is the lagfix?

I believe you can flash kernel on stock but it will be through odin. You could always check AdamOutler's video about flashing UrsaMinor. Will also get you rid of the signature failed on 2.2

Supercurio's Kernel vs CF-Root for XWJVH

Hi,
I am using Galaxy S Gingerbread XWJVH. I want to root my phone and change RFS for ext4.
Which Kernel do you prefer:
Supercurio's Kernel for Gingerbread
CF-Root
Thank you.

Cf-root for me
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

CF-Root It is easy to work with and you get few nice apps with it

I've tried quite a few Gingerbread kernels, and keep coming back to the Supercurio one. I've never had any problems, and the UI feels a touch more responsive on the phone compared to some other kernels. It could be my imagination, though

I've used both but prefer Supercurio Kernel's because for me is the best in terms of battery

[Q] voodoo lagfix problem I9000

Currently using Ryuu's EDB rom with Talon 0.4.1 kernel.
For some reason, I cannot DISABLE lagfix.
both CWM and Voodoo Control Plus
changing kernel with voodoo lagfix nor ROM with voodoo lagfix is no problem.
However, i also want to to try other rom using Hardcore SpeedMod

I don't understand the question, if there was one...you stated changing rom or kernel is no problem and than say you want to try another rom using speedmod kernel.......? :/

my concern is that speedMod is not voodoo EXT-4 based, i think it is with another type, which uses "EXT4 tool" to covert the lagfix

(Q) Lagfix

Hello I am running 2.3.6 stock FW with cf root kernal and a few mods (crt off, music/video player still works on low battery, cache scrolling off) so I need to install lagfix? Is wad my understanding that there was no need for it since 2.3 but I'm not sure any help would be appreciated

I dont think you will need it any more

If you want it speed up u can, but Lagfix (ext4) I heard it consume battery more than rfs.

Do you know how much by?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Ext4 is way better than RFS(FAT16 with some tweaks). I don't use gb anymore, but i suggest u to ask in the kernel's thread. Maybe the kernel already has enabled the ext4 partition by himself
Good luck
