[Q] Where can i find a Backlight notification MOD - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive been looking for a backlight notification MOD for my captivate ever since i stopped using Serendipity VII. Now i am running 2.3.4 (GINGERBREAD.UCKH3).
I've tried *[Kernel] Voodoo (lagfix_3.0)* from the recovery but it says "Update.zip not signed".
Can anyone help me out..??

BLN is not available to GB i897 based ROM's until kernel source drops. If BLN is important to you, you need to be on i9000 based ROM .

[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)

4) Reorient kernel (CWR version zip without BLN) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808286

May the Force be with you
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.

Voodoo Kernel Please help

Please I need help.
I flashed an i9000 ROM and I qm having orientation issues and they told me to flash a captivate kernel to fix this.
the ROM already comes with a voodoo kernel with a voodoo lag fix enabled can I just flash the captivate voodoo kernel over this without disabling the lag fix considering they are the same kernel and lag fix?
Please help do not want to mess up anything.

The best advice I've heard for this is to backup everything, that way if you do mess something up, you have only lost an hour's time.
As far as flashing one kernel over another, I do it all the time, but I would check specifically on the two kernels. See if anyone has done what you are considering.
Or just pick one of the ROM's on the captivate forum that is i9000 based, That way it will work for sure.

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

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.

[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!

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.

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
