Well I just update my kernel to a newer and latest kernel for the captivate , but i had a very important question to ask you guys from the forums. I was wondering if i had to enable the tweaks on the kernel manually . For example the lagfix etc.?
If you upgrade and have them already enabled the settings will stick

Hi,
for what reason do I a kernel flash? Are the rom included kernels better then a lonestanding once? can I flash any kernal to any rom?
what is the benifit of flashing an other kernel then the once ued in the rom?
thanks
When you change the kernel you choose a better kernel then stock.
They are more tweaked and habeas more support fir different things.
**Using my own JPX kernel, z4mod, 345MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
- Different file system (better battery life) (I'm still experimenting with finding the right one)
- Access to the kernel allows you to use the led backlights on the buttons for notifications.
Those are currently the main reasons why I flash diff kernels.
You can have direct acces to one of the most advance lag fixes around(voodoo) better performance ,overclocking ,color correction for ur display,more user accessable ram and so on

Good question.
Samsung open-sources their released ROMs from time to time and many of the "kernel-hackers" (I'd call them plain hackers, what's with the prefix?) here utilize it to add/provide features and fix bugs (bugs are overlooked by people, its normal).
For instance, SpeedMods' kernel provides an Overclocking support for your Phone's CPU, if you want that extra juice. Likewise, Voodoo provides a set of visual enhancements among other things.
HTH
Another important reason is to regain 2e recovery if you lost it after flashing a stock firmware. This assumes the kernel you choose includes this feature
Fine, thank you all!
Sorry that this is out of place, but I can;t post to the Dev thread as of yet.
I am currently using Super-Optimized Kernel v4.7.8 with stock Froyo and have been very happy with it's performance and battery life. I currently have a lagfix installed (data on Ext2 and System on Ext4). I know it is best policy to remove lag fixes before flashing new kernel or Mods, but do I need to remove the lagfix before updating the kernel to a newer version of the same kernel (4.8.0), or can I leave the lagfix in place. No big deal to remove the lagfix, but if I can save the time I will.
Thanks in advance, and thanks to all modders, posters and Android savants for all you do for the community.

Usually when upgrading to the same kernel (newer version) the support of the lagfix/fs change is still there the same way it was before. So no need to disable anything. (not if the dev specifically says so)
Hi everyone,
Need help on installing Voodoo Lagfix on my Sgs.
My device:
GTI9000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Build Number: Gingerbread.DXJV9
I had Voodoo Lagfix installed on Froyo, disabled it via Documentation (official Website) before I update the firmware. Somehow it didn't work after I updating to Gingerbread. Is there a way for me to re-active the Lagfix? Or is there an updates for Lagfix for gingerbread lately? Couldn't find the download link from the official website..
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
The Voodoo kernel that you used for the lagfix on 2.2 isn't compatible with Gingerbread and is removed when you flash to it. Supercurio has a new kernel for ext4 on GB : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975349
There are a few other kernels around which have ext4("lagfix") supported in them(eg CFRoot, Fugumod)
The Voodoo lagfix won't work without the Voodoo kernel. When you upgraded to Gingerbread, you obviously reverted to the new GB stock kernel, and not Voodoo.. You can find several lagfix supporting kernel in the Android Development section here..

Appreciated your reply
According to the link, there are few options, which one do you think would suit Kernel version: 2.6.35.7- I9000DXJV9?
Sources from the link:
Sources+Ext4+Voodoo sound v8, JVH:
Voodoo-test-6.0-Gingerbread-JVH-GT-I9000-odin-pda.tar
Voodoo-test-6.0-Gingerbread-JVH-GT-I9000-unsigned-update.zip
/!\ Due to not up-to-date kernel sources given by Samsung, there is an incompatibility with the Front Facing camera.
I invite you to send new source release inquiry to Samsung open source site.
Stock+Ext4 Kernel JVO, update 1
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-XXJVO-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
Stock+Ext4 Kernel JVH, update 1:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-XWJVH-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
Once again, thanks mate
I would suggest you go with SpeedMOD over basic Voodoo. You can enable lagfix from CWM Recovery
Thanks dude, may try it later

I recently flashed my Captivate (I897) to stock leaked 2.3.5 I897UCKK1
I am trying to understand what my options are for rooting to regain wifi tethering capability. Unfortunately, I really don't understand the kernel interaction and the potential compatibility issues. Normally, I understand I just need to stay on a kernel that was sourced from the same version (in this case KK1).
Anyway, I am hoping for some information on what kernels might be OK to use with my current ROM. My wish list in a kernel at this point would be BLN, EXT4 Lagfix (Voodoo or new CWM) and Root. From reading, it sounds like there is a lot more support for KK4.. Maybe I need to move to a KK4 ROM as well?
Thank in advance for not flaming the noob (I hope)

I suspect you're right. KK4 does have a good following since it is the newest leak, and there are several KK4 based ROMs out there in active development that support lagfix.
You won't find BLN on any i897 ROMs, though. There's no source code from Samsung so there is no way for the devs to add it in. For that, you would need to use an i9000 ROM or a 2.2 i897 ROM.
Thank you!
Hello all developers hope you're doing OK.
So the thing is.. I have a JPJV6 2.3.3 GB, I know it's kinda outdated but it's the latest ROM that supports my language's interface.
What I need now is tweaking it the way I want but how? Do I need a specific kind of tweaks or will all tweaks work with it? I already used Pimp my ROM for tweaking and it caused a bootloop
