[Q] Xcaliburinhand's reorient Kernel advise

So i got the reorient kernel so now i am wondering which of the i9000 rom's to flash? most of the Rom's over there have their own kernels built in so besides Tayutama's i can't find anything to try out
Voodoo/z4 compatibility preferred.

You can use pretty much any one of the roms that are in the i9000 forum. Just flash the rom and then the kernal right away afterwards through recovery mode. Right now im using Darkys raw steel edition v3.0 with reorient.

I'm making that rom compatible with captivate kernels as we speak (trying anyway, pain in the ass)

Why don't you have a lag fix

Doc doesn't use then because out is fast way it is. I don't like to hassle with voodoo whet you have to disable brite you flash another rom.
Now moved to jpa. Newly out yesterday so not tested yet.

Axura 2.0.1/2.0.4 combined with eugene's build a11/a12 kernel{WORKS!!!}

I in no way take credit for the work that has been done, only testing the mated files..credit goes to MASTER { Devs4Android} and eugene373 {xda-developers}
Ok, so I've been experimenting with axura 2.0.1 and this is what I got working...I'm still testing this but have been running for 4 hours now
I will not be held responsible for anything that happens to your phone as a result of your actions..
Backup all data/files/apps to be safe
Things needed*
Odin { http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8863820&postcount=138 }
Eugene's 2.2 froyo odin package { http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833024 }
Axura 2.0.1 rom {cant find link, heres Axura 2.0.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468 }
eugene's a11/a12 kernel {link located further down in posting}
1. Odin with eugene's 2.2 froyo package
2. Boot back into recovery
3. Flash axura 2.0.1 rom (reboot)
4. Boot into recovery
5. Flash eugene's a12 "or" a11 kernel(reboot)
6.boot into recovery
7. set up lag fix, tweaks,etc to your desired settings..
8. reboot, it will go to a menu, i suggest using the first option to backup and restore!!
11.DONE!! Enjoy....
***UPDATE***
Ok, so i paired Axura 2.0.3 with #805 kernel and it runs flawlessly!!!
same method as before just a different kernal.. so for future reference when Axura 2.0.3 becomes available to everyone look back for this post{BOOKMARK ME!!]
UPDATE!!!
Axura 2.0.1 rom is the less glitchy..{just released 2.0.4 "early" with the fixes applied, flashing now}
the best kernel available as of now is Eugene's a12/a11 oc/uv!!! has all available lag fixes, tweaks, and misc stuff built into the recovery, and the voltage app allows adjustment in individual speeds!!
100mhz
200mhz
400mhz
800mhz
1000mhz
1200mhz

It just drives me nuts that these kernels add the I9000 splash screen - but the 800 series, on up to 805 if tweaked correctly work great.

Works exactly as described!!
Confirmed working on Axura 2.0.2, using the OP exact instructions... Quadrant Score 2072, Linpack 16.777, the I9000 splash screen doesn't bother me, but to each his (or her) own.
Thanks for posting this... works beautifully!

i think axura 2.0.1 runs pretty quick already, but I tried this out for fun. It runs even quicker now =D no problems so far.

It would be awesome to get Eugene's latest kernel (#106) working on Axura. Eugene stated that it should work on other roms as long as you include the zImage (duh) and the /system/init.rc. Tried doing it with a flashable zip as well as flashing just the kernel and then using adb to push the init.rc but still couldn't get it to boot. Maybe a much more talented individual could get this set up working.

Is it possible to flash axura 2.03 and flash the kernel by using CW? I believe kernels can be induvidually flashed right without odin correct? Thanks.

So I'm already on Axura, so I can just jump right to the flashing of eugenes kernel through cw recovery, correct? Don't get why I'd have to odin eugenes froyo package. I hate odin if you haven't guessed by now lol.
Also, which one is supposed to be better? 802 vs. 805

Yeh I hate odin also. I believe we should be able to flash in cw. I dont see why one would have to flash eugenes rom also. Im curious. Anyone care to expound. Thanks!

Correct...if your already on Axura your fine, except if you have any voodoo lag fix our oclf lag fix..you would have to remove them first...I personally like #802..but to each his own

Yes as long as it is a flashable .zip
Kernel and not made for odin..but thus far out of all the kernels eugene's #80x kernels are the only ones that work and are cwm flashable..

After I install the ext2 files, it says I already have a lagfix installed. I followed your procedure correctly but with Axura 2.0.3 and kernel #802.
I had voodoo installed before but I flashed disable-lagfix.zip before I did any of this.

did you restore boot image!?! if so i dont have an answer, other then odin and reinstall axura rom and this time use the newest working kernel, build a5 #120..links in the first post now..

Im getting reboot issues with the a5#120 kernel anyone else?

What kind of reboot issues? Were you running a rom other then axura when you flashed 2.0.3? Best bet is to odin and do it all fresh and only flash one at so time with reboots between flashes...and disable any lag fixes!!

802 gave good battery life with 2.0.3 for me

Kernels/Modems

Hey guys I'm really new at this, can some someone explain what a Kernel/Modem is. I know what the Kernel is used for but, there are some many different Kernels that people use and I have no idea on how to pick which one is right for me. Currently I'm running Cognition 3.04 with Stock Kernel with Voodoo Lag fix.

a modem deals with signal and data speeds (different modems work better for people in different places) i9000 modems can only be used with i9000 roms and vice versa for the captivate roms (cognition)
modems thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835272)
a kernel deals with drivers (not 100% sure) oc/uv (overclock, undervolt), free ram, and tweaks that make it faster/smoother.
gb's kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887315)
seitron's kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828052)
if you want more clarifications just ask

ok so with my current configeration, ,I can run any captivate based rom right?(im running cog3.04) and say I wanted to try those i9000 roms I have to change my modem not my kernel, correct?

When you flash a rom it will change the kernel and modem
Any i9000 will come with compatible modem and kernel

Oh ok I see so just flash the rom, thanks for the help, greatly appreciated.

Can modems be flashed?

I have been using Andromeda for about a day and was wondering a few things. Can different modems be flashed through CWM and if so, how? Also the kernels, can they be flashed through CWM? WHICH IS BETTER, URSA MINOR OR URSA MAJOR? I would appreciate the input.
Sent from my Samsung SGH-i897 now running Andromeda 2.1!

Both modems and kernels can be flashed in clockwork.
Not sure which is better but I believe one allows for oc
There are modern threads with cmw zips in development

Yes. I personally use neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher...it's in the Market.

Sorry wrong device.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have the SGS flasher but what unfamiliar with it so I haven't used it. I will once I have enough know-how.lol

KF1 Lagfixes out yet?

Just wanted to check if there were any lagfix support on kernels for kf1? I have really only found 1 kernel on kf1 which would be design gears kernel, but is there one that supports voodoo? Or ext4 at the least?

Do you mean the one that was created by DesignGears? The one with CWM in it?
I remeber seeing a member who had a custom kernel on KF1 with Voodoo on it by Existz or something...

Without source?

I know DG hasn't worked with his Rom's Kernel (except the cwm) since the source hasn't been released. Nor has Team Phoenix. I haven't seen the KF1 that u mentioned but the 2 KF1 roms have not modded the kernel because source hasn't drop. But that's from what I've seen.

I think he got confused with kB1...
Easy mistake.
Easier with all the damn I9000 gb firmwares: jv(insert letter/number here)
Anyway I haven't flashed kf1 but on I9000 ginger kernels that have ext4 I have found they are all smoother and less problematic formatted in rfs...

So you say I'm better off without a lagfix?

Atomic fusion uses a custom kernel by existz, but it does not have ext4, nor does the cog5 kernel. But so far I haven't seen a need for it. My phone flies on atomic fusion. Voodoo sound can be added by buying the app. Well worth it.

From my experience with gingerbread yes you are better off without a lagfix...although like I said I've never flashed kf1 so if that's laggy for you maybe give some I9k roms a try the kernels now are voodoo injected so if its still laggy you can try ext4...

On Atomic Fusions main page it says its running DG's Cog 5 Beta Kernel, Just saying. If its mentioned later on the the forums I don't know. Regardless The source has not droped so they have only tweaked the kernel somewhat. As to needing it, My phone ran real fast on both Cog 5 and now on Atomic Fusion, and i don't see a need for it.
