Is it possible to do? I noticed if I go to the Voodoo website (http://project-voodoo.org/download), the most recent edition for Froyo has a file name of: GT-i9000. Which means it is for the i9000 not the captivate, but is it safe to put on the captivate? I'm confused.
I'd like to use KB1, but the most recent Cognition 4.3 has some issue with sleep death that is scaring me away.
Thanks. XDA has helped me a lot by the way.
Why don't you go into the development section and use the pre compiled kernel that's already made for your phone?

Yes it is possible you just need to get the one meant for the i897 go to the Dec sec and search up I'm using the exist kernel which has voodoo included

I am using the newest cog Tom and would like to be able to use a kernel that enables oc/UV and the different lagfix options. Can anyone tell me how I flash just the kernel over the cog Tom?

i wasnt aware that unhelpful had created a 2.2 kernel?
so what you want to do is flash a 2.1 kernel into a 2.2 rom? are you sure you have read the dev forums?
If there it is a 2.2 kernel, just flash the stock 2.1 kernel with odin and flash the one you want over (sorry vague) but just search it
*edit*
Its on the cognition wiki

i know how to flash a kernel, but the OP stated they were on the latest COG which is 2.2. unhelpful's kernel is a 2.1 kernel. flashing a 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom will end in boot loops....it wont be pretty.
the only kernel that i know of at this time for us to use OC/UV on 2.2 is setiron's, and its a modified i9000 kernel.
rather than trying to get someone else that has already done the legwork on learning ODIN to respond, I think the OP needs to read...a lot
I have been reading alot and can't seem to find a direct description on how to do this.

probably because you havent provided enough information....
i will repeat.
if you try to install unhelpful 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom, it WILL NOT work.
so, are you trying to do this on a 2.1 rom or a 2.2 rom?
there are plenty of instructions out there, so you havent read enough.....there are really only 2 ways to flash a kernel. through Clockworkmod or through ODIN.....pick your poison.
If you flash cog 2.1.7 you will have unhelpfuls kernel version 1.7 but i prefer version 1.4.1 despite the lack of voodoo lag fix. It just worked better on my phone. Great battery life.
overclocking may not be enabled at first so read unhelpfuls first post first if you dont get it ask more questions.
If you flash a cog 2.2bx 2.3bx or 2.4.x rom then you are looking for setirons kernel. It has more advanced lagfix options but i get battery drain so the undervolt thing is useless. There is a way to fix it but its too much to explain.
All in all overclocking is mostly for bragging rights. On ecliar it was good using unhelpfuls kernel.
Setirons kernel may be very advanced but there are tradeoffs it being an i9000 port.

Hey everyone, first off I understand that flashing a rom built for another device is asking for trouble or a soft-brick, in where odin would come into play however being that these I9000 roms which have been ported to the Captivate have already been modified, how difficult would it be to port a ported rom to the Vibrant. Is this even unheard of? Insight would be very much appreciated... Thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
In theory it should not be hard. You would need a re-oriented kernel for the vibrant though. As well as a modem that works with the vibrant. Basically I can take just about any i9000 rom unpack the zip, replace the kernel and modem, repack, flash. The re-oriented kernel fixes issues with the buttons not matching. If rhett are none for the vibrant then I would say no. there are no i9000 ports on vibrant? If there are you can likely steal the kernel from that rom zip drop it into the rom of your choosing.
Sent from me
Well the only recently ported rom out there soft reboots sporadically for an undetermined reason... I scour these Captivate fourms (the wife has a Captivate) and can't help but realize the development here has seen some huge strides in way of porting roms...
I am planning on trying something soon then to see if I can make progress... Just wanted to see if I could pick some brains...
Thanks again!

If you flash an i9000 ROM/Kernel untouched on the Captivate it will boot/work just fine, but the screen is rotated 90 degrees, the home/back button are incorrect, and bluetooth/sound are messed up.
I imagine it would be similar on a Vibrant.
Yeah I am wondering now how I could obtain a reoriented kernel for the Vibrant.. Kernel development for the Vibrant seems to be slow at this point....

You mean you wait until you get a soft brick before resorting to using Odin? Blasphemy!
Lol, you know what I mean!

It looks like the buttons are the same. Maybe the Captivate kernel would work. I'd give it a shot, but you never know what would happen.
Odin is such a nice luxury.

eugene373 already did this with xcaliburinhand's help https://github.com/barakinflorida/Vibrant-open
i9000 and captivate have 90 degree rotation issue, keymapping differences, and bluetooth issues
i9000 and vibrant have same orientation, but GPS and keymapping differences.
9 times out of 10, "porting" an i9000 ROM to another SGS device would just require replacing the zImage with a "reoriented" one as long as they have the same functionality.
Yep, I am working up the courage to try something...
Thanks for the input!

Ive recently flashed the 2.3.3 I9000 gingerbread bootloaders. Am I foolish to assume that I can now flash not only Captivate roms but galaxy s I9000 roms as well?

The ROM u r talking about comes with a kernel for captivate. You dont need to flash any fix on top of it. With that said you can flash I9000 roms that have been redone for captivate and which are present in Captivate Android Development and not Galaxy S Android Development

That was my original question. If any I9000 Rom would work now or if it had to be captivate specific.

Hi,
I currently have my phone running Cognition 5 v2 ROM. I wanted to try out CyanogenMod 7, which I understand is 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 based, just like Cognition 5.
What's confussing me is that the installation instructions of CM7 are asking the installation to be from Froyo/Eclear Bootloaders, while for Cognition I had to install GB bootloaders.
Why is that?
Finally, can someone point me to a post that helps me revert the bootloader and ROM to stock?
Regards,
Mauricio
The OP for CyanogenMOD hasn't been updated. You can install cm7 with the gingerbread bootloaders now and will work with no issues. You may have to download the cm7 from the link rather than Rom manager, though I am not positive on that as I don't remember how I downloaded it. Move the cm7 zip onto your sdcard along with the GAPPS zip. Reboot into recovery and manually flash them both. If you have an issue go back out to recovery and flash it again and it should work with no issues.
I THINK the issue with going from DGs ginergerbread is that it uses a different version of clockworkmod recovery or at least that is how it seemed when I did it. This is how I did it from Cog5 gingerbread. Then I decided to try biffmod. (This is my secondary captivate, backup). Good luck.

Is there any way to check what bootloaders I am running? I did have the GB bootloaders installed when I ran Fusion, Fasty & J3 leak but I have Odin'd back to stock with the no bootloader version & Kies Mini upgraded me to Froyo. Does Kies flash the froyo bootloaders? Is there a way I can check using root explorer?

If you flash a TB rom and it doesn't work. The only way to check.

A side from trial and error of kernels and button cimbos you can't. Tho there might be some info in a UART readout. But getting it to even post UART is more then what most of us are willing to do.

No. I've stayed on i9000 GB bootloaders and flashed Captivate ROMs; they work fine.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Normally no, gb bootloaders are compatible with each other, only the stock music player is known to misbehave. Some devs will advise you to use specific bootloaders, but in the end it's ur call. I'd say pick ur poison and stick with it, avoid flashing bootloader as much as u can, as it's THE part in the flashing process where your phone can be hard bricked.
Just flashed a GB stock rom w/ no BL's & it works. Looks like Mini Kies leaves the BLs alone when being upgraded from Eclair.

Are you on Rogers? if so then Kies did update the BL's, if it didnt and you try running a true GB ROM then you wouldnt be able to boot, it would have a bunch of weird colors on your screen when you tried to boot up...
I am on AT&T. Read my first post. I ran custom roms then I went back to stock then upgraded to Froyo thru Mini Kies. My question was to find a way to see what BLs I had after a Kies update. It seems not to touch them on AT&T until GB is official because I just tested another GB rom & it works.
