Lagfix EXT4 for UCKH3 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is UCKH3 going to see a EXT4 lagfix, or is there another way I can do a EXT4 lagfix on my phone? I like to play games on my phone, and the games are very laggy. I love I9000 rom because they run very smooth, but can't get a modem that sounds as loud or as clear as the one in the captivate UCKH3. Can anyone please help. I've been searching xda developers every day in hopes that I will find a way to lagfix KH3. Thanks in advance.

No kernel source = no lagfix

Cog 5 got ext 4 and it had no source.... I admit odds of getting ext 4 is slim with out the source.

KF1 had ext4 support built in to the kernel apparently. No source needed. As far as if the KH3 kernel also supports ext4, what else is needed, or what method designgears used to convert the partitions you could send him a private message and see if he can provide the details. You could even just check out the cog 5 v2 package yourself.

No DesignGear's method was unfinished. Converting to ext broke alot of things. It is possible though, but when coding the kernel with out the source you usually end up braking things in the process.

What was unfinished? The kernel supported ext4 out of the box, he bundled in the required e2fsprogs and he scripted the partition conversion before the firmware gets installed.
There is no way to revert without using heimdall (or odin) since you need to re partition, but functionally, he did the job.
v2 seemed to run fine for me for what it was. What was broken exactly? It didn't seem like a lot was broken.

Alot of small things. Wifi would connect but wouldn't reconnect automatically. I don't remember exactly why I moved away from it. Thing is on my phone worked well enough to be a daily driver but not for alot of people. Thing is it is possible to enable ext4, but with out source you end up braking stuff.

Fair enough. I just wonder how much of it was 2.3.3 to begin with.

So you Guy's mean I can't get ext4 without a kernel? If the uckh3 kernel supports ext4 then there has to be a program out there. I also had cog v2 installed but I never had ext4 on that rom either. I also had voodoo control and never saw an option for lagfix on cog v2.

If you had V2 then you where running in Ext4 format. There was no Voodo lag fix per say, but the filesystem was in ext4 format (exactly what Voodoo lag fix does.)

Just a thought, but couldn't you just flash the kh3 modem to a I9000 rom and therefore have the smoothness that galaxy s roms give but with the loudness of the captivate speaker? I was on apex 8.2 with kh3 modem and everything worked great. Though whenever wifi was on people complained of an Echo effect.

No. you do not mix I897 modems with I9000 kernels or vice versa. It causes problems, like you mentioned the echo, other problems vary including loss of audio completely on calls...

I have had the audio loss as well... a simple switch to speakerphone and back fixed it. Was unaware that was a modem/rom compatibility problem.

Luckily, I only use my Captivate as an Media Player or for WIFI surfing. The KH3 modem over Apex worked great for me. WIFI has been stable, battry life is better than the non-lagfixed I897 Roms of any flavor and speed is noticeably faster as well.

Internal/External Sdcard Mounting Fix - for all 2.2 roms - *11/20/10*

After doing some testing all morning, I believe we found what is causing the issue with the internal/external sdcard mounting which has plagued all Vibrant 2.2 roms. As many of you have seen, there have been a couple fixes posted. For some of you, after flashing the fixes, its resolved your issue. However, for some, its simply reversed the sdcard issue by either not showing the external sdcard at all, write protecting the sdcard, or limiting the amount of data that can be transferred.
Cause of the problem:
1. For starters, both of the leaked vold.config and vold.fstab files were written incorrectly. They were not corresponding with each other and also had missing information. This was causing the first set of issues from the first 2.2 rom.
2. After the first fix was posted, we noticed it simply reversed the sdcard mounts, and also limited the data to the ex-sdcard.
3. The second fix posted listed both sdcards, however write protected the ex-sdcard.
4. After further inspection last night, I followed the paths that the vold files were calling. Which are: sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun#
I noticed that in the directories, there was lun0 and lun1. The vold files were calling lun1 and lun2. I simply adjusted the vold files accordingly, flashed the fix and it worked! Both external drives displayed in the correct order, both as removable drives as they should.
I sent the fix to a team member, after flashing, his issue reversed, and he no longer could see the external drive, only the internal. I had him follow the vold paths like I did. Again, it is: sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/
His devices was calling lun0, lun1, and and extra file, lun2. I asked him what kernel he was running, and turns out he was running one of our experimental kernels that uses I9000 source code. I was using the stock Vibrant 2.2 kernel. After further examination, we found the the Vibrant kernel creates lun0 and lun1. I9000 sourced kernels creates lun0, lun1, and lun2. Therefore, the specific mounting fix is dependent upon which kernel you are using. That's why these fixes have been hit and miss for many of you. They have worked for many of you, while not working for other.
In short, the vibrant 2.2 kernel generates 2 lun files, lun0, lun1. The 2.2 kernels based off of I9000 source is generating 3 files, lun0, lun1, lun2. So, you have to have the correct vold files depending on which kernel you are using.
We've tested this back and fourth all morning and from what we can see, this is definitely the cause of the issue. Below, I've posted 2 flashable.zip files. One to flash if you are using a stock Vibrant 2.2 kernel. Another to flash if you are using a 2.2 kernel based off of the I9000 source. Please test and let me know if it works for you. So far its worked for all of us.
FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE USING A STOCK VIBRANT 2.2 KERNEL
FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE USING A 2.2 KERNEL BASED ON I9000 SOURCE
Awesome, great work som! Could this possibly have anything to do with the 1/20 internal SD whipes that have been occuring with your new lag fix kernel? Regardless, it'd be great to know where the team is on fixing that issue. Thanks,

Is Onyx based on the stock Vibrant kernel or i9000 source kernel?

No, the wiping issue has nothing to do with this fix. The wiping is kernel related as far as we can tell. Being that the ULF we did was the first port to the vibrant, it was very experimental and contains dragons.
Nonetheless, let me know how this fix goes for ya.

Here is how you can tell if you are based on Stock or i9k
When you boot up, do you just see a Vibrant logo and only a Vibrant logo until the bootanimation kicks in? if so, you are stock.
When you boot up do you see a Vibrant Logo, then a i9k Logo or the famous Team Whiskey Logo, then the bootanimation? if so, you are i9k based.
Thanks guys. This clears up the mystery I was having with the mount fix. I am not a dev and have done little coding in my day, but I was thinking this may have been the case after investigating the vold files. Great job tracking this down to keep us all happy and to keep your lunch money.
so let me get this right before i **** this up cuz im a dumbass......
ONYX 4.2 is i9k based right....so i flash the one for i9000???

It depends on the one you chose, as stated above. It you chose Onyx 4.2 with stock kernel then you choose the stock kernel one. If you got Onyx with the Universal Lagfix then you choose the i9000 version.

Thats because the i9k mounts a CDDRIVE for a media player.
It's normal with i9k kernels.
That is what LUN0 is on the i9k
LUN1 is Internal SD

[Q] How to change to EXT4???

Can someone help me to change to EXT4??? How to do that??? Just tried to find out in the forum but i did not figure out....Thankssss
Voodoo lag fix will convert your internal storage into EXT4.
Ow thanks man!!! But, where can i get the voodoo for captivate??? Do you have the link???
Never mind...I was reading in other sites that voodoo replaces the main kernel and it could cause some issue whem the official release from 2.2 comes. I will not trie.
Is there some other way to change to EXT4 or is better to use the OCLF in EXT2???
Any change to the file system (any lag fix) will have to be reverted before you flash any ROMs.
Actually, according to what I've read, OCLF's ext2 loopback may have better results than EXT4.
Yeah man...I heard the samething!!! My friend just tried EXT4 and told me that OCLF gives you more quadrands in the benchmark.

ext2 is 17-year-old filesystem technology and is not a safe option, especially for a portable device and with the way Android works.
I could make a car go faster too by removing all its safety features.

It's actually not that big of a deal, since the underlying RFS is journaled. The worst that will happen is you'll lose a few minutes of data if your phone crashes while you're in the middle of doing something.
My problem is...I just tried the Voodoo, but im using 2.2 UCJI6...and i think it does not support the voodoo kernel...i dont know...i tried 2 times and my phone freezed in the boot startup...
So, i went back to OCLF 2.3 and i can tell, my phone is very very fast....also getting 1912 quadrants...I know that could not be real...But the boot is very fast...to open apps is very fast as well...everything is nice so far...
If someone know some way to get EXT4 or EXT3 with UCJI6, please help me...As far as i know JI6 does not support voodoo yet...i found other guys with the same issue like me...
Can someone give me some information how can i change that???

you need to read in the developers section. there is plenty of info about this. there is a kernel that supports it. there is also a ULF kernel that gives you many more options. most of the roms are running it.
If you want to keep to stock then try Cognition 4.1.1. They are basing it from the KB1 leaked release. Note that the KB1 leaked and official is basically the same. It has ClockworkMod built in with support for the Voodoo lagfix. Worked great for me. First rom I had flashed and stuck with.
EDIT: I just realized I bumped a 3 month old post. My thread list was set to sort by subject rather than date.... Sorry.

[Q] (SGSi9000)What is the best froyo firmware and custom ROM to go with it (fastest)?

please help ive got JPC with rombie rom and i have to restart my samsung galaxy s i9000 like every day to to lag and fc.
I've tried several and this is the best for me.
This doesn't want to be in the development thread.....
I always ended up back on the doc's rom after trying others..
Use Voodoo 5 with any froyo rom and the phone will fly. Roms and tweaks are not making big differeces in speed. Only with lagfix you can feel the differnce and one of the easiest and fastest is Voodoo 5.
Any of DocRambone's bare-bones Rom with ULK kernel. All kernel tweaks on, JFS + EXT2 binds no journaling.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
CyanogenMod 6.1 BETA2... Fastest ROM and nicest to use, unfortunately takes a huge chunk of functionality away while the ROM developers are cleaning up Samsung's messy programming.
Once it's a Release Candidate stage, I think this will be the way to go. They also might be able to get Gingerbread out faster than Samsung. Here's hoping.
i guess for a normal phone user(not like me or many ppl here), want the phone work as a phone should, go for doc's jpo v8 plus hardcore's k10X kernel with gps fix, you can't be wrong.
usze nany rom, especially doc's 9.01 and then flash the YA-OK kernel.
very stable very fast and smooth.
lagfix EXT4/EXT2 no binds.
you will have at least 2100 quadrant.
In fact I just flashed with KIES froyo, then added root, and clockwork, and then the kernel.
using launcher pro (purchased) I added the DENA v2 theme and it looks very nice.

Rombie ROM v2
thanks for all your help and time.
This could be a very informative thread but IMHO, it needs to be limited to only what works with some caveats. This should be a thread about what works.
If your ROM is in beta - don't recommend it! If it crashing constantly or throwing up FCs, don't recommend it! If the GPS doesn't work, don't recommend it.
Quadrant scores mean nothing - when you got your phone, it worked but had some lag. Now, with Froyo, lag has virtually been eliminated. Even the ROM dev are saying you don't need a lagfix in many cases as their ROM is so smooth.
There are nothing but ROM junkies in the dev forum; I'm one of them - load it on the phone crash it, load it on the phone crash it! But I didn't do this on my girlfriend's phone because I didn't want her calling me to fix it. There are a lot of people tiring of this and just want it to work. I admit the wow factor is wearing off for me. I'm leaning towards finding what works but I need some adrenalin... Some caveats?
1) Phone - no crashing/restarting daily
2) FC - limited; these will always happen occassionally our computers
3) GPS - good signal and lock
Without lagfix, I can recommend:
Doc's rom: v9.0.1_BUJP8 - very smooth, no lag fix required (quadrant 900+)
Modem ZSJPE (Hong Kong release) - very quick to lock on, very accuarate
BTW, our company developes GPS software for golfers always testing this!
My need for speed tells me to test the lagfix. If this thread continues, I'll be back...

Dragon ROMs, direct to ext4 install, voodoo5

What is this? It's an experimental ROM install setup that avoids the use of RFS entirely. The install basically pre-voodoo's your phone. If you know you want voodoo, this is faster than installing then doing voodoo, but it's a little more complicated. Not much, but be warned. It avoids the use of RFS durring install completely, so no RFS corruption to worry about.
The ROM itself is mostly untouched. The kernel is my Dragon Kernel, i9k based, so it will eat your battery (froyo only, eclair is better as we have source). I can get about 12 hours out of it. Buy a charger.
The new version is a 1-click install. It installs the kernel, reboots into it, then auto-installs the ROM. I tested it coming from JFD without issues.
These are based on voodoo5 beta code. Curio is releasing voodoo5 stable here soon, and I'll post an updated no-wipe kernel flash for that.
The ROMS are Team Whiskey Obsidian, Onyx, and Fusion. I changed the install procedure and the kernel out, the rest is as they made it. I take no credit for the ROM. Please post bugs here however, so I can make sure they are ROM bugs before letting TW know about them. I'm running the Onyx version as my daily driver. There has been some private beta testing, and they seem stable, but do have Odin handy just in case. I have installed over the top of various ROMs, but the safest way is probably to come from JFD just to be sure.
ALL THESE ROMS WIPE. NO, I WON'T CHANGE THAT.
Obsidian V5b: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Obsidian-Installer-v1.0.zip
Onyx 4.2: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Onyx-Installer-v1.0.zip
Fusion Final: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Fusion-Installer-v1.0.zip
NOTE: THESE INSTALL VOODOO. ALL THE USUAL VOODOO PRECAUTIONS APPLY, IF FLASHING SOMETHING, DISABLE IT FIRST.
The latest voodoo stuff seems to play nicer and I have flashed things from clockwork without bricking, but just be warned.
Updates:
Kernel with the stable voodoo5 release. Should work with any froyo ROM, does not wipe.

Can we have just a kernel flash that will convert all the partitions? supercurio's i9000 flash doesn't wipe the data, it simply tars it and then untars it back once the conversion is done to each partition. Thanks for the hard work.

The post is about the ROMs, but yes, the kernel update I'm about to post will convert an existing system to ext4 on reboot with the just released voodoo5 stable code.
It's the custom kernel I reference in the OP. If you want more than about 12 hours off charger, don't install it. I'm going to look at Eugene's recently posted source to see if I can implement whatever he did to get the kernel sleeping better, but no promises. And reports are kind of mixed last time I looked at it anyway.
When Samsung gets around to releasing source, we can do better. Till then, give me a patch or don't complain about it.

Froyo Kernel on Eclair?
ttabbal,
I did not know that a Froyo kernel could be backward compatible to Eclair. Is that the case, given that your Dragon 2.0 incorporating Voodoo 5 Stable will work with Bionix Fusion?
Please help me to understand this.
More to the point, I am on Bionix 1.9.1. Would Dragon 2.0 w/Voodoo 5 Stable work on my setup?
Thanks,

Would love to use this, however i cant seem to get anything to install from the market no matter what i do. My TitaniumBackup restores just fine(apps only). Ive ODIN'd back to JFD twice but still nada. Ill try starting from JI6 and see if it helps.

So I'm running ttabbal's latest kernel, 2.0, and just ran a quadrant. It gets 1564 as the score. Now, this isn't just from voodoo alone, he's done a few speed tweaked which will bump up the score. But it's snappy as hell.
"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
Just put this in my phone and its works fine I'm running axura 2.1 works fine but u will see a second boot up screen the benchmark test is not that high I got in the 2500 with the oclf inthe market download but can't do that one anymore it tells me I have one installed already but over all its smooth
Don't worry about benchmarks, they are easy to fool in a high level system like Android. Cyanogen managed to get something stupid like 10k out of Quadrant.
This setup isn't for being a benchmark queen. It's targeted at a couple things I deem important. Multitasking smoothness/performance, and a test of direct-to-ext4 install. The no-wipe voodoo kernel is really intended to be used as part of the whole, but like I said, it should work with any froyo. Note: NOT ECLAIR. If there is more demand for an eclair version, I'll consider updating my eclair ramdisk as well.
As for the market, couldn't say. It's NOT the rom/kernel though. The market is a finicky thing and sometimes just doesn't work. It's usually the server side or the app itself that has an issue though. There's also an update to Market for Froyo, it seems to be more stable. You should get it downloaded automatically after running for a while. To check, look at an app description, you should have a new tab "Related".
When I've had market problems, I fire up my Wife's G2 on a stock rom (not even root) and she does too, so it's not anything I, or anyone other than Google, can control.
Does anyone know whether the Dragon Kernel that works with any Froyo ROM available from the OP supports use of a BootAnimation.zip?
UPDATE: Thanks geoffcorey for the info!
Tried on Axura 2.1 with larger nand. Flashed, rebooted, converted with no issues and is running very well so far. Haven't been successful getting Voodoo to run before now.
Thanks to TW, ttabbal, Supercurio, et al.

So I can flash this kernel over my setup on Axura 2.1 and it'll move everything over? What are the dangers? If for some reason it didn't boot up is there a way to recover without Odin?

I did this very thing in my post #16 above yours. Go for it! Remove any other lag fixes you may have though. I had none installed so I didn't have to do that. PERFORM A NANDROID backup and optionally copy to a computer before flashing the kernel to be safe. Restoring the Nandroid backup won't restore the kernel though.
The dangers are minimal if you backup. Permanently bricking the phone is unlikely. You may soft brick but you probably won't. PLUG IN AND DON'T TURN OFF THE PHONE UNTIL THE "TW" LOGO DISAPPEARS! Around this time, you will hear a voice say voodoo has been activated.
I believe the conversion process may attempt to revert the changes it tried to make in the event of an unsuccessful conversion. If reversion is successful then you should again have access to CWM to flash back to any rom you have stored on your phone. Use nandroid to restore your data and your back to normal.

Heimdall... Um if you cant get into download mode perhaps you shouldn't flash experimental things.

Might as well be the first...
I finall decided to install a new rom.
All fine but the cpu is at 1000MHz full time during charge, running really hot.
Happening to anybody else?
Thanks!

did u see what is keeping it awake?
Will the Voice Dialer app work with the stock Captivate based rom like Pinnacle or only with the i9000 roms like Apex? I can not for the life of me get that app to work with any stock Captivate rom (official or dev.)
is there a way to make the KH3 kernel support init.d scripts? I like using scripts tht are only suppprted through init.d

Not really. Found logcat at 14% in battery usage, no idea how it got activated.
Went ok after a few reboots but cpu is up again, logcat not there anymore.
Probably should master clear.
Can I go to apex from pinnacle?
I followed the procedure in the flasher readme.
edit: just went to apex
Thanks!
By the way, I'm sure I read somewhere (can't find it anymore!) that somebody had a similar issue!
For now I'll stay on the apex version, it's great!
I hope eventually sources for the Captivate version will be released!
Thanks!
MOving from Cog4
I am currently running Cognition 4.5.3 and looking to move up in the world, and was reading several suggestions that Pinnacle was a good upgrade.
What do I need to do to move from Cog to Pinnacle?
Gallery and Browser
Does this ROM have the Gallery black screen issue and browser FC issues like the newer leaked ROMs have?

No, I have not seen any of those problems on Pinnacle 1.3.
I just installed Pinnacle 1.3 yesterday (coming from KJ3 with the Samurai 1.2 kernel). What's the best kernel to use on Pinnacle? I'm on Boog's latest version. Tried Red Antares for a little bit (not sure why I switched). I like Samurai, and understand it works with Pinnacle, but it's based on KJ3 instead of KH3, so there might be some unknown incompatibilities.
I thought memory use would be less with this ROM? I'm using 329 MB of memory (same as under KJ3). Others have reported much less RAM usage with Pinnacle. Could it be the way KJ3 partitioned my ROM and Pinnacle didn't repartition when I flashed it over KJ3?

Boog claims to have init.d support in his kernel.
