A lot of conflicting info here and on rootzwiki.com. I just was asked by the play and trade guy to flash his captivate. All in trade for his pandoras battery and knowledge of its use. Basically fix my psp and I flash his phone. Ok I just want cm7 stable on here with a good oc kernel. Can I do like a mesmerize and odin flash a recovery and the. Flash cm7 and gapps reboot and do a kernel? What steps do I need to take. I see a lot about bricks in the captivate threads, are they easy to break? I'm told this o e is two years old. That would mean its probably ok with being able to get I to dl mode easy yeah?
Like I said alotta info floating around I just wanna do this right can a cm7 user break this down for me. It's an at&t phone if that matters.
Thanks in advance.

CM7 stable comes with an OC kernel. Just Odin in a kernel with CWM on it, then flash the CM7 zip.
Got a link to the right kernel to odin?

Flash the Glitch kernel as it OC's up to 1.7 ghz though I wouldn't recommend it.

I would say the Captivate is actually very difficult to brick, and going to CM7 has basically a 0% chance of a hard brick. As Aus_Azn points out, CM7 will overclock with the default kernal.
Install instructions (as long as you are coming from Eclair or Froyo) are here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide
CM7 discussion belongs here. Thread closed.

I am using the newest cog Tom and would like to be able to use a kernel that enables oc/UV and the different lagfix options. Can anyone tell me how I flash just the kernel over the cog Tom?

i wasnt aware that unhelpful had created a 2.2 kernel?
so what you want to do is flash a 2.1 kernel into a 2.2 rom? are you sure you have read the dev forums?
If there it is a 2.2 kernel, just flash the stock 2.1 kernel with odin and flash the one you want over (sorry vague) but just search it
*edit*
Its on the cognition wiki

i know how to flash a kernel, but the OP stated they were on the latest COG which is 2.2. unhelpful's kernel is a 2.1 kernel. flashing a 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom will end in boot loops....it wont be pretty.
the only kernel that i know of at this time for us to use OC/UV on 2.2 is setiron's, and its a modified i9000 kernel.
rather than trying to get someone else that has already done the legwork on learning ODIN to respond, I think the OP needs to read...a lot
I have been reading alot and can't seem to find a direct description on how to do this.

probably because you havent provided enough information....
i will repeat.
if you try to install unhelpful 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom, it WILL NOT work.
so, are you trying to do this on a 2.1 rom or a 2.2 rom?
there are plenty of instructions out there, so you havent read enough.....there are really only 2 ways to flash a kernel. through Clockworkmod or through ODIN.....pick your poison.
If you flash cog 2.1.7 you will have unhelpfuls kernel version 1.7 but i prefer version 1.4.1 despite the lack of voodoo lag fix. It just worked better on my phone. Great battery life.
overclocking may not be enabled at first so read unhelpfuls first post first if you dont get it ask more questions.
If you flash a cog 2.2bx 2.3bx or 2.4.x rom then you are looking for setirons kernel. It has more advanced lagfix options but i get battery drain so the undervolt thing is useless. There is a way to fix it but its too much to explain.
All in all overclocking is mostly for bragging rights. On ecliar it was good using unhelpfuls kernel.
Setirons kernel may be very advanced but there are tradeoffs it being an i9000 port.

You need a kernel that supports overclocking. For values just look in the Glitch-kernel-thread. And I prefer 'Voltage Control'.

Just look at the values.

i dont know what is my rom? if cvm or maui? i mean cm
Go to Settings -> About phone then you'll see what's your ROM.
how will i know if im CM7 or maui as my fone doesnt say so
errrr if you're talking about the tegrak overclocking app, it does overclocking by itself without the need for a custom kernel or other app. that is its purpose *facepalm*
Try set OC to 1.2 GHz and see how that goes. if it makes the phone reboot/not work properly, click on "optimisation" and increase the voltage value for 1200 a little bit (ie. 25 or 50 mv). You can apply the same principles when attempting higher GHz too.
actually ive installed voltage control but it says my fone's kernel does not support voltage control. What kernel will i install so i can overclock my fone. Pls see below my firmware:
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000 XXJVO
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVO
@oswade i followed your instructions. my fone did not boot at 1.2 ghz. what does it mean?
by the way i read from other thread that stock kernel cant be overclocked that i need a custom kernel for overclocking? if this is true then installing tegrak overclock is useless except for custom kernel?

Yes, you need a custom kernel.
And be sure to have the kernel cleaning script on your sdcard to, it can provide flashing if you have made sh*t.

Why?
You lookbfor a kernel that fits your firmwareversion and that supports oc. You have to flash this kernel via Odin oder CWM (there are always installation instructions in each kernel-thread). Then you download 'Voltage Control' out of the market, set your CPU frequency and you are done.

Bestiaginger kernel works for rooted 20c from rogers no issues and still great battery I have not had a rom work like this and I've tried all the rooms in the lg 3d forum.
So if you wanna go faster and smoother try this kernel. And I've also used v6 supercharger and kernelizer. This has been the best the phone has ever worked. So well that there is no lag and good mem usage now too since putting in the Bestiaginger kernal.

Is there a kernel that is able to overclock my cpu, that is safe to flash on my Serendipity 7 flashed Captivate? I searched all around the forum, but I could not find a direct answer. I want to be 100% sure which one is safe to flash, before I just go and flash one that I think is okay, then ends up bricking my phone. Can anyone help me please? It would be much appreciated.

A kernel flash will only give you a soft brick if it messes up. I would assume it works with a kernel appropriate for that version of Android
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
Oh okay cool. I do have a user jig handy, so a soft brick wouldn't be a big deal. So it doesn't matter what one I flash? Or just keep flashing different ones until I find one that works? Lol.

Assuming Serendipity 7 is GB
Flash Corn Kernel 6 and KK4 modem.
Or another combination - see Apex ROM site for kernels/modems.
Thank you! I'll look into that soon.

I'm running CM10 nightly, and wondering if I will gain any performance improvement (without OC) and longer battery life if I flash one of the alternative kernels on XDA (looking at Devil and Semaphore as those seem to be the most popular)?
yes and yes, but it all depends on how you configure the kernel options and how you use your SGS...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
yes, definitely!
but to get the "best" result, of course you have to let it settle for atleast 3 days..
here is a youtube link on how to flash them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCBN-_zu5cY
i hope this helps,
cheers
Thanks for the answers. I was hoping for recommendations, do you have any?
Semaphore is looking good to me. Opinions?
I'd go with semaphore for ICS...
But for CM10 I'd use Devil..
But that's just me
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
If you want stability then semaphore.But if you want more tricks to make your phone even faster it is devil of course. There is one more kernel to try Mackay.
Test each to get the right one for you.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Semaphore is the one you need .
What else from having great speed with stability. Yeah, maybe Devil could provide some more speed, which is unnoticeable, for me at least.( except the benchmark tests )
Sema is the most stable one.
But devil isn't bad too.
Try them. But give your phone about 5 minutes after flashing and don't be frustrated when it's a bit laggy after first reboot.
Last days I tryed makay. --> I prefer sema
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I prefer devil. My phone still lasts a whole day (7am - 12pm) and is much faster. I like all the options.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
On JB roms i always use the devil kernel even if the Semaphore is a very good kernel, Devil kernel allows me to entirely use my phone's habilities with no more battery drain than Sema
you will instantly notice more speed and smoothness with flashing semaphoer kernel.
+ more speed if you set up liveOC to 114%
Does anyone have any links? I'm using CM10 nightly and need a kernel so that BLM and Voodoo sound will work. I tried the latest semaphore 2.8.0 via Odin but the phone would not boot.

You should read the description more carefully. The 2.8 kernel is for JB 4.2 not CM10. Flash the 2.6.5 kernel.

I have few more questions...will i flash only kernel or i need to flash the rom together with kenrel...and can i use odin to flash kernel?Sorry for all thease questions im noob guy in this area
You don't have to flash a rom if you're happy with the one you're using. And you can download .zip's and flash in CWM if you like, but I've found that the only times I've ever got into a boot loop when flashing a kernel are by doing it this way. Not that it has happened often. But for that reason, i prefer to flash my kernels .tar in odin, I've never had a problem doing it that way, but whatever way you choose to do it take a nandroid first, just in case.

Download semaphore manager app if you haven't already done so. Also, if you used the (s) version, you need to make sure and select the bigmem option in semaphore manager and reboot for settings to take effect. Then you have 403MB RAM.
