Have finally settled with cicada's sd froyo 0.6.8. without too many glitches.
Having had Kernel problems in the past, and am getting tired of experimenting, can anybody recommend (with a link to) a reliable OC kernel?

Hi Guys,
I just got my Captivate couple days ago. I were able to unlock, root, get a new ROM (Cognition v2.3b8) and install some apps. I'm looking to get a new kernel for the ROM. How would I go about flashing it to a different Kernel like SpeedMod K12I ? Thanks.
Sgs kernel flasher app in market
To be safe always disable lagfix prior. App is very easy to user and quick

I am a noob here. But I am wondering what are/is the benefits/risk of replacing the kernel that comes with Cog v2.3b8 with another. I recently flashed Cog v2.3b8 from stock (batch 1006), and find this is pretty much as stable as stock. Only issue is with GPS (which was hit and miss on stock). So do the benefits of replacing the kernel in Cog v2.3b8 outweigh the risks?

Well kernels have different features and abilities in them. It depends what you want from your kernel. Some might support BLN while others will have OC/UC or just OC. Various combinations of options. You just need to make sure that the kernel/ROM/modem are from the same family, etc. I9000 or Captivate. If you flash a i9000 kernel into a Captivate ROM you might have issues.
Cog v2.3b8 is a Captivate ROM I believe. You can flash Kernels which are for it.
cog runs fine with an i9000 kernel so long as you also use an i9000 modem. i can't run the i9000 roms because of service drops but this set-up is still very good.

If you want to install a new kernel over the existing kernel,
1. Download the Kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
2. Go to CWM recovery. (directly or through ROM Manager)
3. Choose the zip from SD
4. Flash and Reboot.
Make sure that there is atleast one boot after the ROM is installed.
To confirm,
check Kernel Version in Settings-> About Phone

Well each kernel has it's own benefits.
For instance, Speedmod uses sztupy's Universal Lagfix unlike other Kernels that use Vodoo Lagfix.
The main differences would be in the speed and battery. Samsung uses 250hz (as default), firebird kernel uses 300Hz and Speedmod uses 500Hz. Doesn't change battery consumption much but provides more smoothness.
Then the RAM Available. It varies from Kernel to Kernel from 300-350MB.
Cappy Kernels are for Captivate Only because of reorientation fixes and button mapping.
Hope this helps
Having tried various NOOKiE SD versions, I have now settled on Nookie Froyo 0.6.7.
Is there a "finalized" over clocked kernel that perform reliably with this release?
I am using the 1Ghz kernel with Froyo 0.6.7 from this thread:
[Kernel][Eclair][Froyo][Honeycomb] [email protected] *New Froyo and HC* [2/6/11]
...and it seems perfectly stable and responsive.
Thanks
I Installed this a few hours ago, and so far it is behaving well
So I used to use the super optimized kernel for it's oc abilities, but since I've flashed darky 9.4 I can't use it anymore for some reason, so does anyone know another kernel to use?
Have you tried DamianGTO's Kernel? I do love this kernel. Although I'm on Doc's ROM, I think it may work on Darky's 9.4, since it's also based on JS8. It has both Odin and CWM flavors.
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959696
The hard reset process was used to return the internal memory to stock (oddly, the Android Market app and others still appear in extras) and now boot into CM7 from my SD Card. Why can I only overclock to 950? Is there a way to still overclock to 1100?
Thank you XDA Developers for this board. It's great!
CM7 Kernel allow OC to 925 max. You need to install one of the Dal' Oc Kernels.
Flash one of dalingrins OC kernels for CM7. Newest stable is 04/04. Newest test is under Test Builds and 4/24 OC's to 1.3GHz max.
Still kind of getting use to the teminology. How do I flash a kernel? Where would I find Test Builds? Are there more detailed instructions for what I'm trying to do? Remember, I'd like to leave the stock software in tact and work from the SD Card.
Thanks for your patience with me.
I'm good. Thanks everyone!
Hey guys, loving CM7, but the nightly im using has a few quirks(no bluetooth, shuts off at 15% battery). I had tried phiremod before, but it didnt include any recent kernels and was stuck at 925mhz. So, i went back to what i had with the amazing 1300mhz. Since im trying it again, where would i get the latest oc kernel for the latest version of phiremod?
I forgot to ask, do CM7 specific kernels also work? If so, i feel stupid.
Pherimod is cm7+themes+apps so yeah cm7 kernels will work.
