[Q] Kernel understanding - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just flash my SGS with Surface Rom with speedmod kernel.
I notice that the current speedmod could not support few build in apps in surface such as voltage control, voodoo control & etc...
Can i just look for other kernel & flash it without changing my Rom? Advise appreciated.

Yes u can flash any other kernel as Semaphore kernel or Galaxian are best now a day....u can flash them by Sgs Kernel flasher in the phone or by odin.

Early Gingerbread kernel selection. What kernel to choose dillema. Available options.

Hmmm...I'm sitting and thinking what kernel to use with JVK...
Supercurio's?
Hacked Lagfix/Ext4 Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread - JVK
A well known programmer stands behind this kernel... Stable for sure...
Con: CWM 2, or maybe it's a pro for now?
He updated the kernel, you can now connect via adb in recovery.

Chainsfire's?
CF-Root 2.6
It's more like a stock kernel with root option.
- The kernel is fully stock and taken from the original firmware, with just the following added:
- Root
- Superuser 2.3.6.1
GINGERBREAD ( CF-Root >= 2.4 versions, JVK and newer )
---- Busybox v1.16.2androidminimal (from CWM)
---- Integrated CWM 3.0.0.5 / RFS

DamianGTO's?
DamianGTO Ultimate Ginger Kernel (Beta 3)
- Optimized kernel tweaks.
- Low memory killer minfree settings (60MB).
- Deadline schedueler (Optimized).
- Touchscreen sensitivity (High)
- CWM 3.0
- Auto Root (Busybox and Superuser)

The last two have CWM 3 injected, while curio's kernel using CWM 2.
CWM 3 has orange font color (speedmod-green, voodoo-red).
CWM 3 can be used to flash only updates.zip that contain edify scripting, so you won't be able to flash ie. current speedmod kernel in cwm version, but now Hardcore didn't come up with his JVK kernel yet.
You may find out if an update zip is CWM compatible by looking into META-INF\com\google\android\. If there are the below files then you may flash it in CWM 3:
updater-script
update-binary
In old ammend script updates you'll only see update-script file.
The only having sorta optimisations is DamianGTO's. But... I would love to hear your opinions. Which kernel is best for now, when no gingerbread kernel sources hasn't been released yet and no real hacking can be involved...
I vote for damian's kernel. Supercurio's kernel was unstable for me, but faster ofc. Using now damian's beta 2

Damian GTO is the best so far...
Wouldn't it be a good idea then to use the damian kernel for daily use and use the SGS kernel flasher to go back to voodoo when you need CWM2 for ROM upgrade....?
I have to vote for supercurio's lag fix off. Stable for me and smoother scrolling
Stock XXJVK, Voodoo GB hack Kernel, JVE GB Modem
Anybody wrote opinion about CF-Root 2.6 , please ?
Regards
I'm using Supercurio's kernel with lagfix enabled - haven't had any speed (surprise) or stability issues

CF-Root is just for rooting and CWM.
Supercurio's with ext4. Some things (market, for example) are MUCH faster than without ext.
With JVK I went with CF-root (for rooting, and a CWM3-only update) and then Supercurio's for general usage afterwards.
So far I've done the same with the new JVB-firmware and it seems to work very well. Any opinions on this now that we have a new firmware to play with?
Supercurio's still the best? Or does Damian's have an edge in other areas which Supercurio's doesn't address?

Recommended kernel for XXJVO

Hi Im looking for a kernel recommendation for XXJVO on galaxy. I cant decide between CF-Root and voodoo kernels. Other suggestions would be welcomed as well.
Thanks!
CF-Root kernel is more close to stock kernel....
Regards
Thanks! Already installed CF-Root and happy so far!
... also you can try Voodoo JVO kernel
Ultra fast (even without lagfix) and extra stable
I can truly recommend this 1
I liked the Dark-Core Kernels before i switched to CM7
CF-root forever
CF-Root kernel is ok
Dark Core or CF, can't go wrong
Fugumod bleeding edge ultra all on ext4 and flying

Which Kernel am i running?

Im on GingerReal but im not sure about which kernel im running. This is what it says under kernel version:
2.6.35.7.I9000XWJVH-CL184813
[email protected] #Voodoo
Sat May 14 22:49:50 CEST 2011
Can anyone tell me what kernel it is please?
The reason i want to is because i want to update to 5.2 GingerReal but it doesnt support Voodoo Sound and i want it. So which kernels support voodoo sound that i can use on GingerReal?
You're with the hacked gingerbread voodoo kernel of supercurio. That's what's used in the GingerReal ROMs. You can generally use almost any other JVO kernel for the latest version of GingerReal coz almost all of the kernels have one or another version of Voodoo sound. And all kernels support voodoo sound but not all developers implement it. You can just buy Voodoo Sound Control Plus app and you'll always have the latest version of Voodoo Sound with any kernel you use.

Thanks for the reply. I take it that all kernels apart from speedmod have voodoo control?

Various kernels have Voodoo sound built into them , they say in the features list if you want to check. Voodoo control Plus though inserts the sound module into any kernel(even stock kernels) and as you update the app you get the latest voodoo sound module
try semaphore kernel for gingerbread...it has CF-Root + voodoo sound v9 + OC/UV + BLN
I'm sure if you had looked in the gingereal thread you would of found your answer! Worth a thought

[Q] Flash JVR kernel on stock JVQ rom?

Just a quick question: I have a stock JVQ rom on my Samsung galaxy S and I recently installed Semaphore's JVQ 1.3.3 kernel. I am wondering if its possible to install the new Semaphore JVS 1.7.0 kernel on my JVQ rom phone.
Yes you can flash 1.7.0
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hey, i'm wondering. Why is it possible ? I'm new to that Kernel installation thing. I run darkys rom with its own darkcore kernel 2.9.3 which is a jvq kernel with a jvq rom and afaik they say it isnt possible to run darkcore 3.1 for example which is for jvr.
so can you explain why its possible ?

[Q] Semaphore (JVT_1.9) on JVP based Stock ROM??

Hi
I've been using the Stock 2.3.4 (JVP) ROM, with CF-ROOT 3.7 (JVP based) Kernel (for root privileges) for a long time now...
Now, I wanted to try the Semaphore Kernel (for voodoo sound, better battery life, etc).. but, the latest Semaphore Kernel is a JVT based Kernel.
So my question obviously is, Can i flash the latest Semaphore Kernel (1.9.0) over my existing JVP based ROM without any issues??
if not, what would be more productive, Switching to a JVT ROM altogether? OR Finding some older version of Semaphore for JVP?
(I really dont wanna loose all my apps etc, its too cumbersome to install them again even if its using the titanium backup..)
(then again, an older version of kernel wont be supported, and may cause issues..)
dont know much about JVP but i've tested stock JVS rom before together with TalonDEV, Galaxian & Semaphore kernels respectively and had no problems.
TalonDEV is ext4 autoconvert
Galaxian is compatible with ext4 (convert manually)
Semaphore is compatible with ext4 (convert manually)
I'm on Semaphore now, running flawlessly.
Thank you
Do you know if the latest semaphores 2.1.1 can be flashed over stock JVT?
