[Q] modem/kernels/overclocking/odin3

i'm still relatively new to the whole rooting experience
about a month and a half ago i picked up a captivate..since then i have rooted..upgraded to 2.2..and flashed cognition v3.02 rom
everything works great..but now i'm interested in flashing a new kernel (still running stock captivate kernel) and overclocking to 1.2ghz to add a bit more speed
in my settings i can tell you this..baseband version is I896UXJL1, kernel version is 2.6.32.9
from what i've read your modem version matters when flashing new kernels
i also understand that odin is used to flash kernels and such..but i have no idea how to use the program and all i can find on google are methods to revert back to stock firmware
do i need to upgrade my modem?
what would be a stable kernel that allows overclocking that you would recommend?
how do i use odin to flash that kernel?
i don't really want to do anything without full knowledge so i can reduce the risk of bricking my phone
i would greatly appreciate any help and i fully support the amazing things you guys are doing with the android platform

jl1 is your modem version right now. if everything works for you, why you want to change?
suckerpuch is a kernel allows oc and it has a CWM version to flash.
oc usually will shorten your battery for the daily usage.

The easiest why I found to flash kernal is to use SGS kernal flasher you find it on the market lets you flash different kernals from within android. Once you get a different kernal with cwm you cab just flash modems from within the recovery menu as long as the modem is in a cwm flashable file

[Q] Need help understanding modifications

Hello!
I've been trying to find out is it possible to flash roms/mods if I have flashed voodoo kernel? I flashed it few days ago and phone goes like racing car
I'm not completely newbie, but what comes to android hacking... I haven't found out few things like: What's the difference between mods, roms and kernel. Well... For example.. Can I flash tw4 if I've flashed voodoo kernel?
I don't need "how to" answers just I'd like to know more about these things.
Allso.. If someone knows websites telling huge amounts of info about these things please ad those too
Thanks.

you can install TW4 if you are on a samsung based ROM,
samsung apps will not work with ROMS such as Cyanogen and MIUI.
And you dont need to remove lagfix unless moving ROM or Kernel, if you are just updating to a newer version, its not necessary.
the best place to find your answers is here on XDA, you would be surprised what comes from the search bar

Thank you for the answer.
I tried to find answers with search. Some I found sme I didn't..
I cannot find info about project voodoo's voodoo kernel 5.5. Is it just lagfix and can I flash darky's rom without deleting/uninstalling voodoo lagfix?
I didn't find voodoo on roms list so I think it's not rom?
I'm asking becouse I findout that darkys rom... Well darkys voodoo seems very nice but it uses same kernel modifications as voodoo kernel but has much more modifications (improved gallery etc. etc.) I'm asking this becouse I really like voodoo lagfixs voodoo sound improvements....

yeah, voodoo is the kernel.
but darkys roms come with voodoo kernel built in, you can select this using his 'DarkyROM' app found in the market (free), you select what you want, i.e boot animation, theme, kernel, added extras. Hit save and then flash his rom and it will do the rest for you.
If you want to use darkys ROM 9.2 or higher. Flash his resurrection ROM via odin, and that will give you the base package to move upwards

Oh right! Tanks!
It really seems I'm quite newbie

we all was at one time, dont worry about it.
The key thing when doing any sort of modifications is be sure you know what your doing. and always have a backup plan.

That's right. It's why I have not done rom flashes or anything else before getting enough info. Tough I've heard that!"while doing you'll learn" but sgs is too expensive to do such experiences.
Thanks for all the answers!

[Q] UV/OC

Hey guys I'm a bit new to OC/UV and I need a little clarification regarding it. I'm using Onix Kernel on Andromeda3 overclocked to 1.2 ghz and lets say I wanted to switch the rom or kernel. Is it necessary to delete the settings? Do I just delete the app before flashing the new kernel/rom?

Nope, no need to uninstall the voltage control app. Just flash your new kernel and you'll be good to go. Be aware that if you open the app again on a kernel that does not allow oc, you'll get a friendly " bazinga" message telling you that the kernel is not supported.
Continuum 5.5 and existz's latest......

Thanks man, helps a lot

It is not necessary sometimes, But sometimes it is. Especially if the voltages for the kernel change at ll, that would make your previous 'stable' settings possibly not so stable- resulting in a bootloop or any other crashing. Its always safe practice to remove your boot settings before flashing a new kernel. If that kernel is OC/UV capable and your settings stick, but aren't good for that particular build- you may find yourself having to delete those settings anyway.
You can grab the file in my sig and flash from recovery if you accidentally save settings as boot- or forget to remove your settings- It's a nice gem to have on your SD card if your an Overclocker. NOTE: It will only flash in CWM3.x. So if your running a gingerbread ROM- you can use the zip file

[Q] serendipity+overclock

I have an AT&T Samsung Captivate with Serendipity+Redrom installed. I want to use a custom kernel for overclocking to 1.2GHz. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746343). I have tried flashing this with Odin before installing Serenpity and it works but then Serendipity gets rid of it. If I install serendipity first then the phone does not even boot ofter flashing the kernel with Odin. Does anyone know how to get Serendipity to work with the 1.2GHz overclock?

When you flash Serendipity that replaces any kernel you had with the one that comes with the ROM. Have you tried flashing a kernel from CWM.. one that works with serendipity and is OC capable?

no such kernel
I have looked and this is the only overclocked kernel that I can find. If there is a kernel that can use CWM I cant find it.

ohh.. i did not know that. Have you tried asking the mikeymike if there is an OC kernel that works with his ROM?

dont know how
Sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to stuff like this but I have no idea how to contact Mikeymike01, I don't see any contact info on the serendipity website.

here on XDA.. Go to the Serendipity thread and just ask in the thread. You may even get some help on installing the kernel you are trying to use.

your link is for 2.1 Eclair, and will not work on Serendipity.....i dont understand how you cant find an overclock kernel in the sea of kernels in the dev section....i mean, the titles of the threads start with [KERNEL]

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.
The information you need is already available here on XDA in Captivate Android Development section.

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.
