KF1 Lagfixes out yet? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?
Thanks

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.

Dragon Kernel 2.6 - With Voodoo Sound

Normal: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Kernel-Voodoo-v2.6.zip
OC: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Kernel-Voodoo-OC-v2.6.zip
I rebased on the latest source from Samsung, JPX. Yes, it's still i9k based. Hopefully it helps a little with battery and such, won't know till it's been out for a while. The speedmod patch has also been updated, but the OC patch is the same. I also included my backport of the auto-group scheduler patch. So far, both of them are working well for me.
Both kernels are voodoo enabled and will enable voodoo if you don't already have it. If you don't want that, you need to install the voodoo-disable zip before flashing, or just put the disable-lagfix file in place before flashing. If you already have voodoo enabled on your phone, you do NOT need to disable it before flashing these kernels, as long as your current kernel has voodoo recovery (red Clockwork recovery), you are good to go.
Tested on Nero V4, but should work on other Froyo based ROMs as well.
If you are going to try the OC version, please download both of them and have the normal version ready, just in case. You can also use adb push from Clockwork if you can get it booted to recovery. Clockwork also has USB storage you can enable to be able to mount your phone's memory cards from a computer, so that you can put the non-OC version on there if you get stuck.

External SD Mount issue
Everything works great but I no longer can mount my external SD card. That's where I keep all my music. Anyone else having this issue?
I will probably get flamed... but what is the difference in the speedmod patch and the dragon kernal. I was a bit confused in understanding what the speedmod patch is and does. Thanks!
any way to make the new 5.1 voodoo sound kernels compatiable with the vibrant JL5 latest source from Samsung, JPx its not for vibrant kernel
Just to clarify, for full Voodoo Sound experience, will we also need to install the Voodoo Sound app from the Market?

Considering the DoW kernel made my screen shake / flicker and this OC one doesn't, I'd say yes. Voodoo sound is also a nice plus.

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 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??

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.

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 flashed to the firebird. works well score around 1450~1589
but every time i reboot i896(also when it got fully charger-ed), when i got into contact, it take about 5~10sec to load up the contact. is it normal?

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

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

It is very easy, dl kernel, open app, choose kernel, find file for kernel, flash kernel, done

[Q] does kernel matter?

Do you have to use specific kernels with certain custom roms? I am currently running andromeda 3 with ursa minor kernal. Can I just flash a new rom via clockwork mod without changing kernel?
Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You just have to captivate kernel with captivate modem (unless reorinted i9000 kernel) and sam matchup with i9000 kernel/modem... If the rom is compatable by what I said then u can just flash the rom

Tbh, I don't see why you would want to flash another rom using ursa minor. A3 + ursa minor go insanely well together (which is why they are in the ROM full flash). I believe you can use ursa minor on other froyo custom rom but I could be wrong (Adam, if you see this, please don't kill me if I'm wrong ) as A3 is I9010 based.
Other roms come with different kernel as the devs feel like they're the best/most stable to go along with their respective rom. So if you want the best experience trying a different one, I suggest you do a full flash (which includes rom, modem, kernel) and try them out that way. You can then decide if A3 (or any other) is more appropriated for you.
Just my though tho
I can vouch that. I need teh OC/UV.

[Q] Corn kernels

I've been using all kinds of kernels for Cappy. What I just want to know is what's exactly the difference between this kernel: [KERNEL][XWJW1][2/1/11] Corn Kernel I9000-C v1.05 w/Audience support!
And this one:
KERNEL][KK4][1/28/11] Corn Kernel v7.06 from Source (OC, BLN, Voodoo Sound, etc.)!
Thank you guys in advance.

that's what i first thought.that and the audience chip is maybe onky supported in one of them.but i thought there had to be a better reason.guess i was wrong.
thank you for answer.i appreciate it.
how can you tell if a rom is i897 based or i9000?
are kk4 cappy roms and xxjvu or jw1 i9000 roms? if i got that right.

You got it. Ones that start with a K are i897, ones that start with a J are i9000.
thank you sir.
I tried using both kernels for apex and neither of them worked.
but i also read somewhere that apparently corn kernels dont like ext4.
not necessarily... cappy had some that started with J way back when....
the roms that are ported will usually say so, but all roms come with a working kernel for it.
then if you want to change kernels, for one reason or another, you look for one that supports your rom build version, no matter what you will end up searching for the right kernel.

Audience chip works in both corn kernels. That's what separates corn from the other i9000 kernels (among other things). That way, if you prefer i9000 roms over i897 roms, you can still get audience support. The catch is you have to flash an i897 modem also, which for some people breaks Bluetooth calls.

Apex is an i9000 based rom so im not sure why the i9000 corn kernel didnt work. I would recommend you try some of the ics roms. Im on Doc's Master ICS and im getting the best battery life and speed from ics roms than i ever got on gingerbread roms.

Corn Kernel I9000-C v1.05 supports ext4 - I'm on Apex 12.4 with that kernel and ext4 without any issues in that regard. I ensured I was on RFS before flashing corn and then converted to ext4 via the kernel's recovery.
