[Q] Why doesn't it appear in system infos?

Hi.
It could be a stupid question, or maybe I've done something wrong. I've just flashed Juwe's Smart Edition (Gingerbread ROM) but when I check the kernel version I don't see speedmod but the original Samsung one.
Anyway I'm able to use Clockwork Mod Recovery. Is it normal? Should I re-flash kernel with Odin?
Someone says you can use a custom kernel, someone says not :\
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I think you should use that kernel only to use CWM. Is it right?

Yep it's normal ^^ It's already a custom kernel with clockwork mod from supercurio.
You can see in the seeARMS thread:
"Features:
Voodoo Gingerbread Beta Kernel "
You can also convert in EXT4 data and system ; )
But don't use speedmod kernel, it's not for ginger for the moment !
Hope it helps

Hi powerdams
And excuse me, why do they say to flash with speedmod?
Is there no recovery with the stock Samsung kernel?

[Q] how can i downgrande from 2.3.3 back to 2.2 roms?

So i've installed a 2.3.3 rom and now i cant get to CWM recovery..
so if got this right, while on a 2.3 kernel/rom i can't see nor boot into CWM recovery even though it IS installed..
by flashing to a 2.2 kernel Using "SGS Kernel" will i be able to access it again?
or can i downgrade to 2.2 by simply flashing a 2.2 rom from Rom Manager?
Sorry for being a noob..

What 2.3.3 rom have you flashed?

i flashed Darky's Extreme Edition v10.1

If you want to go back to a standard firmware, you could just go to samfirmware.com and flash a firmware using odin with pit file and repartition. You could just flash jvo rather than going back to 2.2.
That would restore recovery mode back to your phone
You will need to disable voodoo lagfix first though. You can do that with voodoo toggle app on market.
Edit: Flashing a kernal like fugu will give you cwm. Just flash jvo from samfirmware first

cant i just flash a 2.2 rom from the Rom Manager app?
edit:just noticed your edit, will any 2.2 kernel work or just the ones with CWM?

For rom manager to work you will need a compatable kernal first. If you cant access cwm I would guess you have the wrong kernal or it didnt flash correctly.
If you have a 2.2.3 rom I would not recommend flashing a kernal for a 2.2 rom.
If you want cwm then you will need a kernal thats includes cwm. I personally recommend fugumod kernal.

[Q] darkcore 2.6 cant disable lagfix

Hi Guys
I am running simply honey 3.5 ROM on my galaxy S I9000 with gingerbread JVO modem and obviously CWM ....this rom comes with cf-root automatically installed on the phone but with some issues, so after i flashed i installed darkcore 2.6 kernal onto my phone and enabled my voodoo lagfix
Today i want to upgrade to simply honey 3.6 and obviously i need to disable lagfix to do so, i go into recovery mode, voodoo and under settings it sais my lagfix is enabled which is a default setting, and further down it sais ...
system lagfix conversion: NO
Debug mode: yes
I click disable lag fix, even the system lagfix i tried to disable and then i reboot, nothing happens when i go back into recovery so im almost thinking i have to do a fresh factory reset or install a new version of gingerbread and start again, please help?
Thanks Jordan

Try getting voodoo toggle from the market and see if that works

If you haven't yet solved the problem I had the same issue and fixed it by flashing Ficeto JVH which comes with Dark Core 2.4. I was able to disable the lagfix after flashing this rom.

Clockwork Recovery Rogers 2.3.3

I have Rogers 2.3.3 Official installed and rooted, but every time I go to install Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager, the Captivate is not listed as a device, I only get Galaxy S i9000, Galaxy S i9000 (MTD), Nexus S, Nexus S 4G. Is there another way to install it? or Did i do something to make the Captivate not show up? Thanks!

there is no CWM update.zip for gingerbread (CWM3) for the captivate.

So how are people getting it on there Captivates then? or do they flash all roms through odin?

If you're gonna flash a ROM, flash a kernel that has cwm included already with Odin, it's probably not going to boot all the way to Android with a different kernel, but just button combo into recovery and flash the ROM.

I tired flashing a kernel that has cwm from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127578 but everytime I go in recovery it says "E:/can't mount /cache" etc..... Had to flash back to Rogers 2.3.3 kernel.

That's a beta kernel, just try an xcal kernel, talon, or darkcore. Hell even a froyo kernel should work for just getting cwm, and will be flashed over with the kernel included in the ROM.

Thank you so much for the crystal clear answers! so now that I have GB Bootloaders, can I pretty much flash whatever i897 or i896 rom I want?

yup. if you were to downgrade to a froyo rom, most of those use amend scripting (for cwm 2.5 and under) whereas the ginger roms now use cwm 3 which uses edify, so you would have to flash a froyo kernel wirt odin, or sgs kernel flasher app, button combo into recovery so that you have cwm 2.5.

I just try them all and they don't work! I'm getting bootloop! And now when I flashed back to Rogers Kernel, I'm also getting bootloop, I had to go in recovery and clear cache and userdata to fix it.

Hi,
No need to delete anything or do factory reset.
Download semaphore kernel and flash it ontop of the current one using ODIN or kernel flasher application that you can download from the Market.
You wont loose any installed application or settings.

No wipes nor factory reset. Just put the new kernel in PDA section of ODIN, plug phone in download mode and start. Two things to be careful: 1-Disable lagfix. 2-Make sure you have downloaded the proper version of Semaphore (for JVQ).

Follow the video guide for flashing a kernel
http://www.hdtechvideo.com/?p=27

Thanks I'm clear on flashing kernels..
Where I can find list of gingerbread version modems (I would like to experiment see which modem suits me)

in the android development section of the i9000 forums theres quite a few post regarding modems etc

Just to be clear, can you mix kernels with custom roms or are they specific? Would there be any advantage in doing this? Wondering if that would be a fix for an audio (high gain mic recording) issue on my phone.
Thanks

Yes you can flash different kernels & modems a long as they are compatible with your firmware..

It is an animation showing when your screen going to turn off. Most of the custom ROM have this feature. You are on Darky 10.2EE right. That ROM have this feature. Enable All animation in Display settings.

You can find the kernel you want on the xda development page and you can flash it either via odin or kernel flasher without wiping anything

new kernel
First of all sorry if this is in wrong thread. 2ndly, I have never had this problem before but today when I tried to flash a new kernel something weird went wrong and now when i boot my phone it is super laggy and screen is all messed up. I deleted caches and dalvik cache but it is still doing the same thing. I dont know what I did wrong since I've done this before and I don't think its the kernel since it doesn't seem like anyone else has had this problem. Btw, the new kernel I tried flashing was franko's r133 build. I previously had r130 and no problems but when I went to flash the new one this morning it like totally messed up my screen and whatever else. I'm so confused. Again sorry if this is in wrong spot. Thanks for any help.
