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.

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?
Thankshttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
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
I want to change kernal so I can over-clock, the supermod kernal which was included with Simpley Honey is ok, but not that fast.
So I need your opinion on something maybe "Voodoo" but is an easy flash with Odin, but wont brick my phone, last time i flashed supermod on its own via odin i soft bricked my phone, but that was not with Simpley Honey.
So suggestions and links are most appreciated
Try semaphore kernel.
Galaxian is the best
Sent from my sgs
kernel: galaxian
Rom: jetpack
The TOP 3 are:
Semaphore
Talon Kernel 4.4.21
Galaxian
Thanks folks, now, in the past when i have changed kernals with odin, i have ended up soft bricked. Am i safe to go from current dark core kernal to one of the above ?
Talon comes in CWM package and its been safe for me. I have been trying it from 4.3 versions. So far all's been good. Try Talon 4.4.21
I've been expermienting with a ton of Roms, my favourite probably being Cyanogen Mod or Darky's (who would have thought) whats your favourite Rom and Kernel with i?, im currently on Darky 10.2.2 Final Semaphore 1.8.0
personally i think semaphore works better than Dark-Core :O its got voodoo colours and it has better quadrant scores (i know quadrant isnt a relibable source, but we all know that deep down, we all secretly care about the scores )
At the moment I'm using Semaphore 1.8.1 with the Stock (Deodexed) JVT 2.3.5 ROM.
I do admit DarkyROM is good, as that was the first Custom ROM I started to use. But now I've moved on.
CM7, any kernel. It's all good.
CM7 and stock Kernel.
Noob question: What is the advantage of using a custom Kernel.. wouldn't have the Cyanogenmod people changed their Kernel if it wasn't optimal?
Hi
I've been using the Stock 2.3.4 (JVP) ROM, with CF-ROOT 3.7 (JVP based) Kernel (for root privileges) for a long time now...
Now, I wanted to try the Semaphore Kernel (for voodoo sound, better battery life, etc).. but, the latest Semaphore Kernel is a JVT based Kernel.
So my question obviously is, Can i flash the latest Semaphore Kernel (1.9.0) over my existing JVP based ROM without any issues??
if not, what would be more productive, Switching to a JVT ROM altogether? OR Finding some older version of Semaphore for JVP?
(I really dont wanna loose all my apps etc, its too cumbersome to install them again even if its using the titanium backup..)
(then again, an older version of kernel wont be supported, and may cause issues..)
dont know much about JVP but i've tested stock JVS rom before together with TalonDEV, Galaxian & Semaphore kernels respectively and had no problems.
TalonDEV is ext4 autoconvert
Galaxian is compatible with ext4 (convert manually)
Semaphore is compatible with ext4 (convert manually)
I'm on Semaphore now, running flawlessly.
Thank you
Do you know if the latest semaphores 2.1.1 can be flashed over stock JVT?
Hi,
I tried many roms before asking for help, none of them were satisfying for me
so i thought about flashing good stock rom + semaphore kernel.
apparently it's harder than i thought it will be.
so i'm asking for a stock rom that has TW4 and does not contain all samsung apps and semaphore kernel that fits.
* im still open for suggestions about other roms.
(all i need is good battery life, speed without oc and TW4)
Thanks ahead.
I just flashed this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391756
Then I flashed semaphore 2.1.1 through ODIN
Then to top it I flashed the theme here throu cmw
