[Q] Corn kernels - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

This kernel [KERNEL][XWJW1][2/1/11] Corn Kernel I9000-C v1.05 w/Audience support! is for i9000 based roms.
This kernel [KERNEL][KK4][1/28/11] Corn Kernel v7.06 from Source (OC, BLN, Voodoo Sound, etc.)! is for i897 based roms.

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.

SpeedMod Kernel with Gingerbread

Hi Guys
I am upgrading to a SGS i9000. Previously had a Motorola Milestone, custom kernel is new to me.
I've been searching and couldn't find anything. I want to load gingerbread XXJVK and use SpeedMod Kernel. Will this cause any problems? If I do experience problems would it be straight forward to go back to stock kernel?

Speedmod is a kernel designed to run with Froyo, not Gingerbread. Many custom 2.3.3 ROMs have you install Speedmod as an intermediary step just to get CWM installed, but it will not work with JVK. You will need to install one of the kernels specifically designed to support JVK.
I STRONGLY suggest you read the many threads posted here about JVK and the process of flashing to it, AFTER you have read the stickies about flashing ROMs on the i9000. Foreknowledge is always better than Support Calls.

Thanks for the advice. I keep going back to the stickies about flashing ROMs to i9000. I guess I will keep reading.
I would wait for the release of Gingerbread . Once its released the devs are going to have a more complete set up to work with .

There's no source to work from... so there's no speedmod as of now. Your best shot could be supercurio's hacked JVK kernel which can convert partitions to ext4. But remember, the rom is still a beta.
My SGS came today. I'm going to look at flashing darky's rom tonight.
I have Cyanogenmod7 RC3 on my milestone at the moment but I don't think I'll miss the 2.3 features.
Again thanks everyone for the advice
hi guys,
i'm a noob.
need some help over here.
i'm using galaxy S i9000.
i rooted my device with speedmod kernel k13e-500hz #36 but firmware is v2.2.
is theer anyway to upgarde to v2.3 with rooted kernel??
many thanks

KF1 Lagfixes out yet?

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.

[Q] New on android and I had problems with kernel talondev

Hi all,
I'm new to android and some things I do not understand, for example I have the galaxy captivate with the following characteristic:
Rom Android 2.3.4 I897UCKH3
boog_kh3_kernel3
su-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip
I updated my cellphone using these files, and all works fine but I wanted install a new kernel the last talondev, but after install it I think that my sgs is on soft bricked, displays the logo of AT & T and then starts "loading talon...", but then restarts.
This kernel can be used with the rom? it is compatible? or What should I do to choose a kernel?
Best regards
Talon is I9000 port kernel you are using native I897 rom. Use Samurai, Corn kernel or Boog's kernel. Actually Im not sure there is a corn or samurai kernel for KH3. I know they have it for KJ roms.
I have to find kernels for KH3, right?
Thanks
Correct. Or update to a newer leak like KJ3 as a example.
And I can change to a custom rom? or that such the cm7 rom?
I talk to do this to exit the soft brick and have it back.
thanks
CM7 has its own special instructions. I haven't kept up with it so go to their thread and read. But ya you can change to custom roms like Fusion IX, Fasty and others that are based of a newer firmware version.

You need to flash back to boog kernel. If this does not work it is best you re-flash to stock KH3 with the one-click solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Choose the one WITHOUT bootloaders since you already have those on the phone. It is safer that way.
Regarding CM7 ROMs. You must know they are completely different system compared to the normal Captivate ROMs. Read this thread before flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150
Don't get me wrong. THEY ARE VERY GOOD CUSTOM ROMs...absolutely. But you cannot mix and match.....Follow CM7 instructions strictly.
thanks for the replies, I will be reading information about their opinions.
thank you very much , I'll let you know the results.

[Q] Which kernel for Galaxy S?

Hi there,
I'm using CM7 on my Galaxy S with kernel 2.6.35.12-gdf10700 [email protected]#1
Can anyone please tell me if this is the "recommended" kernel for CM7?
I've read that Hardcore Speedmod kernel is meant to be the "best" but is that still the case?
Can I use any of Hardcore's latest ones listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html
because apparently they are not to be used with CyanogenMod?
Many thanks
Stock kernel is the best if you want to avoid bugs.
Do NOT flash any other kernels than those which are made for CM/MIUI.
Here are few:
Glitch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041532
Fugu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112568
Zach's kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053304
You can try those, but for me stock is the best.
Many thanks.
I was just a little confused because Cyanogen's own wiki suggests using the Speedmod kernel:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
so I wasn't sure whether stock kernels are compatible with CM7.
So... the stock kernels (http://samsung-updates.com/rooted-stock-kernels-for-samsung-roms/) are fully compatible with CM7 then?
Thanks
It says flash speedmod because by flashing that you'll get CWM which you need to flash CM.
And no, do not use those kernels. Those are for STOCK ROMs.
When we said "stock", we meant the kernel that is included by the CM already.
Go to developement section and find topic with [Kernel][CM/MIUI] or something like that. Those are compatible with CM.
Just check links I gave you.

Got it, thanks - when you said "stock" I thought you meant the ones from Samsung directly.
In that case, I'll just stick with what CM includes and I won't mess around with them.
Thanks.

Just hit "thanks" button if I helped.
I add that to my sig.

what is the best setup for stability and battery??

Currently running CM7.1.0 on CornKernel_UCKK4_v705, and the phone is having daily lockups, and poor battery - something it didnt have during stock load, and i havent put many apps on.
I have been hunting for a Fasty rom for weeks, but it appears to be gone with the wind.
I am not interested in OC, or crazy themes, just want the long runs of stock without the lag - and also if theres anything to help the buttons from missing taps.
Incompatible rom and kernel. You need a cm7 kernel. Glitch works pretty well.

That set up shouldn't be booting up. If anything you are running CM7 with what ever kernel it came with it. Read more there is no best, it is all a matter of opinion.
What the heck? How is corn kernel even letting you boot? CM and corn are meant for different filesystems

corn works fine on ext4 and RFS actualy ...
there is just an insane amount of info regarding android - on the CM7 wiki, it says to use mtcarey's kernel - I just assumed when they say that - it means corn made by mtcarey qualifies. if thats not true - then why is there guy on the CM forum that says:
korockinout13: "You can use basically any kernel for this. Maybe try Corn kernel ... I know it's an odin package, but you can also flash it with heimdall if you like"

Yes, that kernel was to for you to flash on stock, so you could then flash CM from its recovery. I didn't actually mean to use it as your cm kernel; I just told you to use it since the link for mtcarey's was down. Funny thing is tho, I didn't realize Corn was by mtcarey.
Did you flash the kernel again after cm installed? You didn't need to do that
