[Q] Rogers Captivate running stock 2.2 with SpeedMod kernel k12l bluetooth static?

I recently updated to Rogers stock Android 2.2, flashed the speedmod kernel k12l so that I can have the BLN and now when I try to do voice over bluetooth in my car all I get is static. I've done a bunch of reading and this seems to be due to the use of the stock i896 modem with the i9000 based speedmod kernel, correct? (Even though the kernel page seems to say this is based on i897, I've read elsewhere that it's actually based on i9000)
So, in light of this, what modem should I be using on my Canadian Rogers Captivate i896? I understand that there are lots of differences between the modems, but is there a general one that just works (perhaps not squeezing every last drop of performance, but at least works)?
Thanks
Jason

You can try tljl3 I found it much better than some who suggested NKP1

i'm currently in the exact same situation right now, i just got my rogers captivate i896 couple days ago and i've already flashed the latest voodoo SpeedMod Kernel (K13E) cuz i want to apply the lagfix. now i'm getting all static noise whenever i'm using a bluetooth headset.
I'm wondering if the op did eventually solve this issue (bluetooth headset static noise) and how did you do it. Also i'd like to know what is the issue with the different modem driver that the OP mention in the first post?
i'd apperciate if anyone can point me to a direction as im very new to all of this.
Thanks

[Q] No sound in calls

Hi there,
Having a bit of trouble with my Galaxy S of late. Seems that when I make a call, there is no sound at all (I don't think the other person can hear me either). When I switch to the handsfree speaker, it works fine. Running Darky's 9.4...
Any ideas?
Rob

Its known and getting fixed in 9.4.1

Hmm I have the same problem in Darky 9.3 whit DamianGTO kernel... But after reboot everything is ok, and now again same problem... So just reboot phone for now, I think that Darky can find the solution !

Yes! Rebooting fixes it. I'll be happy to do this every now and then until Darky updates it. Otherwise it is a pretty much perfect rom...
Thanks for the help!

I have the same problem but I am not on darky rom?
Is this problem Darky rom specific or not?
I am on js8 stock with voodoo lagfix....

My mistake.... I did not know that darky rom has voodoo kernel so the problem was from same source....
I have upgraded voodoo kernel to 5.5.3 and the problem is gone!

Darky Darky Darky ??????
get a decent rom .

[Q] Any Kernel work on back camera

I have been using I9000 rom with speedmod kernel and 850 modem for i897 device for a long time.
I installed different kind of i9000's Captivate kernel. None of the i9000 kernel's Captivate work on Tango and Fring video chat. I always get black screen on Tango video chat and Fring always crash when video turn on.
I tested on i9000 rom with Cognition 4.3's kernel and I897UCKB1 modem. The video chat work, but this I897UCKB1 modem is horrible download and upload speed while using video chat. That's why I didn't like to use I897UCKB1 rom because the 3G speed limited by AT&T. If I use any i9000's modem with Cognition 4.3's kernel, the voice call will not work.
I think i9000 kernel for Captivate must disable or remove front face camera function in order to work on Tango or Fring video calling.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Captivates have no front facing camera.

That's why need to disable front face camera on the i9000 kernel's Captivate.
And Cognition 4.3's kernel able to use video calling, but not on any i9000 kernel's Captivate.

They gave a proximity sensor and a light censor on the front that is often mistaken for a camera. As for moderns and kernels, I would recommend reading the modem thread. It will put you on the right path.

I'm pretty sure the op knows there isn't a forward facing camera, what he is saying is that the video chat works on kb1 but not on i9000, like the i9000 kernel makes the app look for a forward facing camera and then it doesn't find it and crashes or shows a black screen due to no camera. He wants the kernel to have the app go to the rear camera like it should. Right?

I knew Captivate never have front face camera since I have this phone.
The only problem i9000 kernel still contain front face camera code.
The Cognition 4.3's kernel seen like wasn't or because it is base on Captivate rom.
Either modify or disable front face camera code inside i9000 kernel or use Cognition 4.3's kernel with hsupa enable modem.

That's what I want!

My apologies. I misunderstood.
Have you tried using the kb1 roms (cognition, fusion, torch ) with existz kb1 kernel? As far as modems, there are only 3 I think for kb1 roms (KB1,JJ4 AND JI6). If the modem doesn't match rom and kernel, weird things happen (no bluetooth, no call volume, static). I hope this helps a little, eden if it doesn't solve your problem.

All are Captivate modem (KB1, JJ4, and JI6) worked with KB1 rom except I don't have HSUPA speed which is I don't want to use AT&T modem.
i9000 rom + i9000 kernel for Captivate + i9000 modem: need to fix kernel only use back camera
i9000 rom + Captivate kernel + Captivate modem: everything work except no hsupa speed

im not sure if you will get what you want. it would require a lot of knowledge of the sources and mixing captivate and i9000 sources from a 2.2 kernel and a 2.2.1 kernel. not that it is nessessaily hard, it might be easy for an experienced dev. the devs dont really know till they try but im not sure they will mess around with it. most of the significant kernel work is being done on irc chat and in the i9000 forum, most of it is not i897 centric but latter ported to i897. it may tak a while to get something like this done and after the source for 2.3.3 is realeased im not sure that it will ever get done. problem is that noone requests it. i understand the need for hsupa in combination with video chat. without a 2 way connection hsupa is almost useless. many broadband isp's dont provide an equivilent to hsupa upload speeds. well right now atleast you need to choose between slow choppy video calls on hsdpa or no video calls at all on hspa making hspa fairly useless. what a conundrum
have you tried using a pure i9000 rom and not a captivate port? like strait out of the i9000 forum with a reorient kernel? because they may have something in the settings apk to swap the active camera for that.i dont know for sure though.
edit, forgot but you can triy the ursa minor kernel. it is the i9010 kernel but it is 2.2. there is also the i9088 2.2.1 kernels from kp2 and kp5 but it is hard to find and you might have to settle for a stock kernel in that case.

I just tested GT-i9010 Armani (skullcap-voodoo #11) kernel with i9000 modem. The video back camera work and hsupa high speed work as well, but the wifi is not working with this kernel. It is confirmed this kernel is wifi issue.

well try the andromeda rom or the ursa minor kernel from andromeda thread.
i really suggest trying andromeda if you are gonna use a 2.2 kernel. not much sense in 2.2.1 without the kernel. andromeda has some fantastic battery life for most users and alot more, i suggest changing the modem though jk4 doesn't work well for me or many other captivate users. calls suck. kp1 and kc1 are two that i can verify work well.
there may also be a kp5 dump around here somewhere with the kernel but you wont have voodoo anything. still you get a 2.2.1 kernel for the captivate with hsupa
edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=531565&d=1299080836
this should contain a kp5 kernel with voodoo injected in. it was the origonal kernel used in dragon. dont think it has voodoo sound just lagfix
edit edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=558036&d=1301688592 this is the ursa minor kernel for andromeda built from i9010
sources. as far as 2.2 kernels for captivate go this is the one to have! 2.2.1 may benchmark a bit better but this is a seriously fast kernel with hsupa support. use kc1 modem you will be happy.
Edit 3: I use glitterballs' kernel v.5. It is a pain in the arse but it is jpx/y 2.2.1 like the other i9000 kernels and is working for me on fring with dragon rom. I just downloaded fringe and did a test call. I can see the image from my rear camera in the lower corner. Glitterbslls really knows what he is doing. He needs to come back to the board. If you use this kernel disable all lagfix first and convert to ext4 after to include the /system partition. Also flash with neldars app. You will have problems flashing in recovery because of steam. You can also extract the zimage and .tar it for odin flashing.

I just installed Andromeda 3 rom. The video back camera, hsupa, dial call, and wifi are work great so far. Hopefully, this rom doesn't have any major problems.

we spent a long time on that rom. it started its inception in December and made its debut on XDA in January.....you will be hard pressed to find any REAL issues

if there is a rom to flash and use long term andromeda is it. i had andromeda 1.something for almost 2 months i didn't change the kernel or overclock it and i didn't even have the stock rom for that long. but switched because i was curious about the roms from the i9088. would go back but dragon keeps getting better and i want to see what dagr8 produces for the final release, he was a dev on andromeda. i think the whole andromeda team komin dev group does top notch work.

[Q] During call other party hearing loud ticking noises when using a custom rom

Hi guys,
Rogers Captivate, i896.
While using my headset on the following custom ROMs I am finding that the other party can hear these VERY VERY loud ticking noises. However if I unlock the screen during the call (while using my headphones, the noise will not occur)... of course locking the phone during the call while using the headset will cause this noise to appear at short intervals. There is no noise at all without using a headset.
This problem however does not occur while on the rogers stock 2.2 ROM. The headset does not cause any sounds on the iPhone either.
Any ideas as to what is causing the noise so that I can start using custom ROMs again? I cant live without my firefly....
Thanks in advance.

had similar issues with 2.2 roms. what roms modem kernel are you using?
should be good with speedmod and kc1 modem or kp1 modem.

I got the ticking noises with Pheonix (the release before ultimate) and Ultimate, Serendipity 6.2-6.3, Firefly 2.6-2.9

what kernel/s do those use. also change the modem.bin to one of the newwer ones. it is a i9000 modem on captivate issue. jk3 and jk4 really are not captivate friendly. kp1 is. kc1 is also doing well despite being an i9000 modem.
some are even using the gingerbread modems if yo want to try one.

After a quick run through i am noticing that most run speedmod k12 / k13.
Hmm so you are thinking its a modem issue?
I suppose ill try flashing alternate modems this time. I guess i have some reading to do
Perhaps i might even try out some other roms that have alternate default modems.

speedmod shouldnt be a problem but if you are not interested in overclocking you can try maybe ursa minor. it is the andromeda kernel and 2.2 rather than 2.2.1 but it is no oredinary 2.2 kernel. it might not benchmark in quadrant and linpack as well as speedmod but feels quite speedy. it uses kernel modules that can turn on and off to minimize overhead as i understand it.

As for FF 2.9 - Full flash comes with speedmod K13E and JK4 modem. Which are both extremly stable! I suggest you try these

im actually using firefly 2.9 ..
im still getting the ticking noises..
any other ideas?

This actually seems logically possible.
If we can use a reoriented i9000 kernel + i9000 modem on a captivate rom, why can't we use a matching captivate modem+ kernel on an i9000 rom?
I thought the important thing is to match the modem and kernel...

Well, accidentally I ended with this configuration:

Teoretically this shouldnt be happening but everything seems to be working O.K. No Force Closes, WCDMA 850, average battery life, WiFi, etc.

you have always been able to run mix/match, until you need to make an actual phone call. no voice.

Yes I ran that combo until I got a phone call and the other person could not hear me and the volume was cutting in and out flashed back to JL2 all is good again
Running Dlevs 5.0, and latest talon kernel, modem JL2

As you can see from my signature I am still running 2.2 ROMs. I just prefer the stability, and have zero issues with both that I am using now on different captivates. One of them, Continuum 4.1 is and i9000 rom, using Onyx kernel with jk4, the other is the i897 Cognition, cog kernel, kb1.
I think, based on what I am reading here, I will try to intall the i897 modem and kernel on the Continuum 4.1 ROM. I really like this ROM but REALLY prefer the sound quality of the i897 roms because of the Audience chip.
I will experiment this weekend and report back. As of now, I prefer not to do this kind of experimentation with the GB roms. Anyone else interested in seeing how this turns out?

Hi Jack man,
if you are still considering flashing i897 kernel & modem , my captivate is still Froyo 2.2 stock (rooted), with the uckb2 modem and kernel 2.6.32.9. I already have a dump of the kernel (I checked is working) and could send you a dump of the uckb2 modem (unchecked, I'm unsure about flashing this one back, since I have the 100% battery shutdown issue and still considering a RMA) if you are willing to try.
Let me know,
Angel

Well, I experimented. Here's what I used and how it went.
I installed Continuum 4.1 (a froyo 2.2 rom) then flashed the Exist kb1 kernel along with the kb1 modem. I thought everything was going to be fine. Calls worked fine, data seemed ok but slower than I was expecting, but when I went to turn on wifi if just didn't work. I made sure it was't the router - my wife's phone was working fine on the router, along with a laptop on it.
it would also not connect to the neighbor's router either. Flashed back to Cog4.5.3 - wifi worked fine.
Too bad, because I really like the small features of Continuum 4.1
If anyone has any ideas to fix the wifi in this setup let me know. I would love to keep it.
