Voodoo isn't compatible with JPK. It's mentioned in the documents.
Flash JPO over it, and apply voodoo to that. Or try flashing Chainfire's CF-root kernal over JPK if you want to try salvaging your apps. DISCLAIMER: Not sure what'll happen if you flash CF-root kernal over it. I think you'll loose your apps anyway?

z4mod is compatible with JPK, if you really want to use JPK (not sure why you would?).

Go to the newer JPO or JPA, try hardcores kernel over it. THE BEST experience.

[Q] Rogers Captivate Voodoo LagFix

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?

Thanks for the reply..i havent read much about speed mod. Am I to understand theres no voodoo option for rogers 2.2?

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..

Can modems be flashed?

I have been using Andromeda for about a day and was wondering a few things. Can different modems be flashed through CWM and if so, how? Also the kernels, can they be flashed through CWM? WHICH IS BETTER, URSA MINOR OR URSA MAJOR? I would appreciate the input.
Sent from my Samsung SGH-i897 now running Andromeda 2.1!

Both modems and kernels can be flashed in clockwork.
Not sure which is better but I believe one allows for oc
There are modern threads with cmw zips in development

Yes. I personally use neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher...it's in the Market.

Sorry wrong device.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have the SGS flasher but what unfamiliar with it so I haven't used it. I will once I have enough know-how.lol

It is very easy, dl kernel, open app, choose kernel, find file for kernel, flash kernel, done

KF1 Lagfixes out yet?

Just wanted to check if there were any lagfix support on kernels for kf1? I have really only found 1 kernel on kf1 which would be design gears kernel, but is there one that supports voodoo? Or ext4 at the least?
Thanks

Do you mean the one that was created by DesignGears? The one with CWM in it?
I remeber seeing a member who had a custom kernel on KF1 with Voodoo on it by Existz or something...

Without source?

I know DG hasn't worked with his Rom's Kernel (except the cwm) since the source hasn't been released. Nor has Team Phoenix. I haven't seen the KF1 that u mentioned but the 2 KF1 roms have not modded the kernel because source hasn't drop. But that's from what I've seen.

I think he got confused with kB1...
Easy mistake.
Easier with all the damn I9000 gb firmwares: jv(insert letter/number here)
Anyway I haven't flashed kf1 but on I9000 ginger kernels that have ext4 I have found they are all smoother and less problematic formatted in rfs...

So you say I'm better off without a lagfix?

Atomic fusion uses a custom kernel by existz, but it does not have ext4, nor does the cog5 kernel. But so far I haven't seen a need for it. My phone flies on atomic fusion. Voodoo sound can be added by buying the app. Well worth it.

From my experience with gingerbread yes you are better off without a lagfix...although like I said I've never flashed kf1 so if that's laggy for you maybe give some I9k roms a try the kernels now are voodoo injected so if its still laggy you can try ext4...

On Atomic Fusions main page it says its running DG's Cog 5 Beta Kernel, Just saying. If its mentioned later on the the forums I don't know. Regardless The source has not droped so they have only tweaked the kernel somewhat. As to needing it, My phone ran real fast on both Cog 5 and now on Atomic Fusion, and i don't see a need for it.

rooting gingerbread

I have a Samsung captivate AT&T running gingerbread 2.3.5 as of today. My phone was rooted, I use SuperOneClick to root. Since putting on gingerbread 2.3.5 I am no able to root with SuperOneClick v2.3.1. Can anyone tell me how to get rooted again? SOC hangs at 7 waiting for device

Try the fugu root method?

What is that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Search dev section. Fugu root kernel should be with a KF1 1 click. You will need a kk4 kernel. Alternatively you can just flash corn or samurai kernels they have root in cwm.

First, thanks for your help...I have been working on learning more to do that fugu method and now under stand I have to get that KF1 click flashed first...
Second, I see you are running ICS on your captivate? Is it rooted? Or did you have to root it?
Somewhere I read that custom ROM are already rooted? Does that mean if I put ICS on my captivate it will be rooted?
My phone is the AT&T captivate Galaxy S....
Thanks again, I am trying to decide if I should continue working on rooting my gingerbread 2.3.5 or just put on ICS?

do you even understand what 'root' is?
it sounds like you dont.

No just flash the fugu root kernel THEN use the kernel for the rom you are using (KK4 or w/e)

Roms are rooted. Like I said you could try Samurrai Kernel or Corn kernel (kk4) I think both offer root in CWM. Don't jump to ICS untill you get a hang of everything else.

Yes, I do know what root is...we have two captivates I897 that was running 2.1 unrooted. I upgraded both to 2.2 and rooted both phone from what I have learned here on the forums.
I have finally been able to upgrade both our phones to GB 2.3.3 and have both ROOTED via the Fugu method thanks to your post and explanation. Sure do appreciate you time.
We are now looking to get two B&N NC ereaders and use them as Android Tablets...I am looking to buy one 8, 16, or 32 GB bootable micro SD card pre-loaded with Android 2.3X Gingerbread or CyanogenMod
7.1.0.
I am going to check here to see if I can find any. If you know where to get one please let me know.
