What should i do next?

hi, i'm new to android, and just get my captivate(rogers) few hr ago. and upgraded to 2.2
i did some research, mostly saying that 2.2 captivate has screen lag problem
and i know it can be fix, by lagfix, but how do i start?
i know there is some app in market to do that, but is it safe?
what happen if my phone become brick ?
if i use the ryanZA's one click lag fix 2.0, do i need to root my phone?
if yes how do i root? z4root?
please help me. thank you

Go to the Captivate Development section and the go to stickies and then read captivate directory. In there should be a link to a guide to rooting the rogers captivate.

yup! pretty much.. You should also look into the voodoo lagfix as it is much better than oclf.

I would avoid oclf. It is obsolete

thank you very much.
i installed oclf already. will it cause problem if i undo it and uninstall ext2 tools?
also, i used SuperOneClick rooted my phone, is it good or bad?
i search voodoo and got this thread [KERNEL] Project Voodoo stable, lagfix.....
is this the right one?
which one should i use XYJS3, XXJPY, XXJPX??
my phone is Froyo.UXJL1

That one would probably be decent. undo ext2 and uninstall oclf. Get neldar's sgs kernel flasher app from market and back up your current kernel, then install the new kernel. if any problems arise, simply restore your previous kernel with sgs kernel flasher. good luck!

thanks....and thank you so much, letting me know oclf is not good....
it take me some time to uninstall it oclf....fail few time when uninstalling ext2 tools...after researching on google, finally undo lagfix, uninstall ext2 tools, uninstall oclf.
and i installed sgs kernel flasher.
and which one should use XYJS3, XXJPY, XXJPX??.
it dont look right for my i896.
sorry for my stupid questions.

The one you mentioned earlier, or one of these should work for you.

Both of these are fast as well.

Hey guys, I'm also interested in upgrading from OCLF to the voodoo lagfix; how will flashing the kernel give me a performance improvement? Will voodoo work without the kernel flash?
*EDIT*- Also, does voodoo lagfix for the i-897 work for the i-896? I'm on Rogers.

I think people are still trying to get app2ext working on Eclair, so it's a work in progress.
I don't even think they made Cyanogen for Eclair on Milestone, as far as I know the earliest version is for Froyo (CM6).

Also, this is the development area, not the Questions and Answers area.
Just sayin..

I think everything you require needs froyo or more. Not certain about the 1% battery tweak or the partition of ext4. I would update to GOT 2.2.1 leak and root and then apply a gingerbread rom (I would go with CM7) or I would go with CM6 for froyo (not in development anymore though, but significantly faster)
Froyo = 2.2
Gingerbread = 2.3 (latest is 2.3.4 which is included in cyanogen mod 7 i think)
Remember to nandroid backup before installing any roms! (and only milestone roms work with milestone, do not try droid roms)

i would like to use 2.1 as it works faster on my milestone....

[Q] How to switch from a rom using cm6 to cm7?

Hi all, I recently took the plunge into the world of custom roms and its awesome, so much better then stock
I have flashed my x8 with the Froyo 2.2.1/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 rom by ponanovn and he has just released a new rom Gingerbread 2.3.5/Cyanogenmod 7.1-Pre using cm7, When I first installed the orginal Froyo 2.2.1 I used x recovery and simply renamed the file to update.zip and simply flashed it and it worked however on his page he doesnt say rename the file to "update,zip" anymore and he says make a back up in "cwm recovery" instead of xrecovery is it neccesary to use cwm recovery with cm7? im just a bit confused if anyone could help me I would be gratefull Thanks

Too complicated! Download and install GingerDX instead. It's a FULLY working Gingerbread 2.3.5!

Thanks I was having a look at it before and it seemed pretty good, might just make the change to GingerDX, are you using it? if so are there any bugs etc? cheers

Yes, I'm using v005. SO SMOOTH!!! And 3MP camera!! I have no bugs at all. If you have bugs, make a full wipe.

I can recommend GingerDX as well, it is updated on a regular basis, and doixanh is one of the best ROM developers for X8 currently, he just seems to be able to pull things off that noone expected, like the 3mp camera fix for instance!

I agree, GingerDX is the most complete 2.3 Rom. There is updates nearly every day and each update will preserve your data, no major bugs and if there is DX will sort it.

Thanks for the help

I would suggest GingerDX.
But you can try to use multiboot if you have a class 6 or more sd card instead of changing a ROM.

[Q] Stable Froyo Version For SE Xperia X8 E15i

Okay , it's been hours , and I found nothing fruitful.
I just want a stable ROM on my X8 , and get rid of my Eclair.
I want Froyo , not gingerbread.
My device is rooted , Got backups with Xrecovery. I have Stock kernal
Firstly , Gingerdx v021 had a buggy messaging application , and I removed it.
Froyobread resulted into a boot loop on my device (Recovered now using PCC)
And , I'm not able to find a clean version of Floyo 1.0 . I downloaded from two sources , and got different errors. (once a missing file , and second time a MD5 error).
Is there any genuine file for Floyo 1.0 , which is 100%working, if you suggest that ? Or is there anything much better ? Download links for those will be appreciated.
I dont wish to change my kernal , and want a very stable/smooth ROM , and highly preferable choice is froyo , since it would be more stable.
Somebody Please Help !!

Well . I'm using Minicm6 , which is 2.2.1 froyo, and I like it very much. Very responsive touchscreen, nice performance, good battery life, and... STABILITY! I've never experienced force close with this rom.

[Q] Is it safe to unlock bootloader from a custom Rom?

Hi, I am a NooB and I'm really sorry if this is the wrong section.
I recently upgraded from Eclair to GingerXperia Revolution v1 and I must say I quite like this ROM.
It was very fast when clean installed it has slowed down after a while,but still I would keep this Rom but there are issues with tethering and wifi hotspots which are crucial to me.It probably is the best rom for stock kernel, but maybe it's time for me to change my kernel and try some of the better roms. No need to post step by step manual as how to do it as I found it on xda already (thanks good people fom here)
Ok
My specs:
Xperia x8
E15i shakira
Band xxx015
11w01 (i know how cool is that lol)
GingerXperia Revolution Rom (installed via rooting/xrecovery)
26.2.9. Kernel (im noob so I dont know if this is stock kernel or custom,please explain)
*Now is it safe to attempt to unlock bootloader from those specs? or do I need to do it from Eclair 2.1 (which would be extra hassle)
*Or is it even worth it? I want to put on miniCM7 so for that I'll need nAa kernel I think.
*Will my current rom run when I change to kernel to nAa?
*Is there a way to speed up my x8? Like I heard that you can partition your sd card and allocate some as internal memory,is that true? If yez wouldnt that help greatly?
Thank you everyone for your time.

Do it from eclair. It's safer. And performance-wise, you will see a change in performance using a custom kernel.
After changing kernels and rom, let's talk tweaks. I'm not one for swapping though, but it does seem to boost performance from all i've read.

Here is the .ftf file for stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257
