[Q] Gingerbread Undervolting?

I am new to sgs (bought yesterday ), yesterday I have installed darky's rom v10 rc5.3.
I have read that on sgs u have to change the kernel to apply an undervolting, so i was looking for a right kernel to do this...but it seems that there are no stable kernels compatible with gingerbread with the uv capabilities, is that true?
thanks
One needs to ask Darky about his rom .
Remember Gingerbread is BETA so far .
jje
thank you, perhaps i'll go back to 2.2.1
keep on ginger
Gingerbread is a more elaborate rom, in general it works much better than any froyo rom, not to mention the battery usage. I was using gingerbread stock beta 2.3.3, and from yesterday on, gingerbread 2.3.3 ColdMod.
Yesterday I went back to 2.2.1 (darky 9.5) and I didn't see any great difference with 2.3.3 (just the browsing experience while loading pages), the main reason for this going back is trying undervolting kernel and also that for the moment there's not italian swype (that i much appreciate). Anyway thanx for the advice
Have you a problem of battery drain?

[Q] Installing MIUI 3.0 after Darky 10.1EE

As I'm experiencing major battery drainage even after calibrating the battery on my i9000 using Darky 10.1 Extreme Edition (DarkCore 2.4, JVO baseband), I decided to go with MIUI 3.0.
I'm kinda a noob when it comes to flashing, so I have one question.
Is there any difference between flashing MIUI from the stock ROM and flashing from Darky 10.1EE.
I don't want to brick my device (yet ) so any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I surf about 45mins on HSDPA, play games for 45mins, surf 45mins on WiFi, auto brightness. I expect the battery to last at least 20 hours.
If you want to flash Galnet MIUI V3 you have to follow the steps from this manual: http://www.galnet.co.uk/miui/MIUI-MANUAL.pdf
Yeah, I know, but does it matter that I'm flashing from Darky?
It doesen't matter because you will downgrade your rom via odin when you flash froyo from the manual. Just follow the exact steps and you will not encounter any problems.
Ok, thanks.
Mods can lock the thread now.

miui galnet v2.2 also have the problem of battery drain , and i don't kno if this problem solved in v3 or not ,
this bug is the most thing annoy me since i changed to GB and i tried many many roms but no hope
only JVP 2.3.4 seems fixed this problem
but Galnet is awesome , fast , look , attractive
If you want a high battery life yoh shozldn't choose MIUI or CM7.
But try Juwe's 5.0.

[Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?

Hi I'm a new person to these forums and I posted a my question in the general section but I think if I post it here it would be better, I don't know how to switch my post into here.
Question [Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?
Hi guys, after buying the Galaxy S GT-I9000 I was soo pissed at the lag of the phone, after trying several combination of custom ROMS + lag fixes, kernels, stock roms etc.... I have found Juwe to be good, but haven't tried Darky's yet.
As of current I think so far Juwe's 5.0 is the best (now mind you I haven't tried Darky's 10.1 yet) and I'm scared to try any other rom since they take soo long to do a proper install (including the battery callibration charging it full, then letting it run down fully, installing all the apps etc...) which can be a headache.
I also found Juwe 5.1 to be a bit slow and sluggish, 5.0 was the way to go.
What do you guys think is faster, Juwe or Darky, or perhaps another ROM altogether, anyone used both of them and found one to be faster then the other (no lag downs - no choppy motion when switching homescreen etc..)?
I have tried both and have actually found that EXTRAordinary Rom with Galaxian Kernal to be lightening quick! Battery seems to last well too.
Roms i have tried are:
Juwe
Darky
Simply Honey
Galnet
Stock (obviously)
and now EXTRAordinary
I love Galnet MIUI, but it is non-stock, so it's prone to battery drain. It's hecka fast though. Though I never tried, CM7 is supposed to be fast. Last time I tried darky's, it wasn't even gingerbread, but it was definately decent back then. Probably faster now.
How do you go about installing the Extraordinary rom with galaxian kernel? Do you first flash stock rom with odin, then flash galaxian kernel with odin, then flash the extraordinary rom using CWM?
I've installed Extraordinary with galxyian kernal, the rom definitely feels spiffy and swift, slight lag here and there (but then again I haven't installed alot of apps yet, Juwe's felt spiffy at first too, although extraordinary has better swiftness when reading/writing to media SD card so far), but the screen vividness/brightness/intensity/colour looks awful, it seems like the resolution has been dumbed down to make the system act quicker.
Still in progress will try MUIU and the rest hopefully.
Pinpongs blockbuster rom is faster than juwe's, as is sams surface rom. Fact.
Haven't tried darky's.
blockbuster 2.4.5
Hi I've tried blockbuster as well, this ROM seems to be in par with Juwe 5.0, maybe slightly better but these two ROM seem very similar in performance (Juwe is a bit more choppy but faster in some ways).
I find Sams surface rom is the fastest. Lagfix optional. Stable and no bloatware. Plus excellent battery life.

i've tried. juwe, gingerreal, MIUI, CM7, darky. The best for JVP (according to me) is Juwe smartv5.0. The best for JPQ (according to me) is darky with dark core v2.9.
Galaxian kernel has problem with the front camera, semarphore kernel has problem with internet browser. Juwe rom base on JVQ and Ginger real base on JVQ has problem with random reboot (according to my last used for those roms). MIUI and CM7 is the best rom for oc and the theme (using platypus kernel and vorbeth), but ver bad in abttery life.. So i'm back with darky JVQ..
T
Hi I've now tried several different Rome INCLUDING:
GINGERREAL latest
MIUI 2.3.4
Extraordinary 3.2
Juwe 5.0, 5.1
Blockbuster latest
Simply honey latesr
Cm7
Darky 10.1
So far miui seems to be the biggest difference in terms of looks compared to stock android (interface looks a lot like ios iPhone 4), when it comes to performance juwe 5.0 and extra ordinary rom seems to be the fastest juwe seems a bit more choppier though but slightly feels faster in many ways and has a more polished look.
At the present I've decided to stick with extraordinary since it seems to be the fastest overall.
The GPS in miui locked faster than the other roms. That's something interesting as the GPS is dismall.
Still not fully satisfied though as every rom seems to have slight lag and choppyness to it. I guess the only way to get over this is to get a better hardware phone such as sgs2. Though 1ghz and 512mb should be more than enough for a blazing phone with some app function. Im still hoping somebody still makes a fast rom out there for this phone. Miui and cm7 project looks promissing and hopefully I'm the future they'll come up with something faster.
Still any other rom's, other methods of installation (combo of kernel + rom) that you guys suggest?

Ive tried lots of them,have to say that EDB 1.3 with galaxian kernel is good all around.Very good battery life.
Forget all that is cm,darky etc..
How did you go about installing the ROM with galaxien kernel?, because EDB 1.3 Darky 2.8 Kernel
I tried edb and far estraordinary rom with galixien kernel is the fastest.

lets just say that im not that fond of darky thingys.
I have tried Tiramisu Evo 6.5 Juwe's Smart Edition 5.2 and EXTRAordinary JVQ 2.3.4
Currently sticking to EXTRAordinary with Galaxian 1.7 although GPS is useless....
Currently on Insanity ROM and it is very fast for me. I like the fact that he has stripped everything out of the ROM and you install what you like GApps, Google Maps, even the syncing is removed but obviously you need to install them to get syncing with google. Only been using it for a few weeks and so far very good. No lag for me.
Darky rom (JVP or JVQ) with dark core kernel is fastest
Try GingerCriskeloV77 mate, I hopped from one ROM to another and stopped at this one. This is based on semaphore kernal. Had bluetooth issue but resolved with new semaphore kernal 1.3.2 Cheers
Hi now I've tried Juwe Smart Ed 5.2, and its a real improvement from 5.1,I think it is the most polished and well round rom right now.
Running latest Juwe's (5.2) with latest release Galaxian EE 2.2, only drama I get sometimes is stock Gallery losing it's way to files, other than that, it's going well. I will say Juwe's has the best stock theme, the Ginger keyboard and stock dialer are the best out of any ROM I've had. I also agree with those in this thread, Darky seems to have lost his touch with Ginger...

[Q] Q: How to - Fully Mod Cappy From Scratch (

Hey Guys,
First off, I love XDA and everything you all have done to improve my phones! Long time reader (from the WinMo 5 days!), but unfortunately I never have much to contribute. Hopefully this post will change things.
I have a Captivate which was running great... until I decided to EXT4 the whole thing. Then in the past 18 hours I had a bootloop (installed Voodoo then Glitch Kernel on Stock Eclair, bad move) and built a jig as the 3- or 2- button combo's were not working . My phone is fine now, I have Stock Sammy TW 2.3.3 from AT&T running (even though this is a Rogers phone.)
What I Want From My Captivate:
- Root
- CWM 4x
- exfat4 on EVERYTHING (Voodoo/Supercurio's fix only fixed either /data or /system. I can't remember which, though the Quadrant score was 1770 on Stock Sammy Froyo)
- Running Glitch Kernel v11 Low Leakage (I found my phone to be the fastest and most stable on Glitch. Bali switched my volume buttons and SpeedMod was ok...)
- MIUI 1.8.19 or CM7. I'd prefer MIUI, the messaging popup is awesome, though I prefer the settings menu in CM7.
- Voodoo Sound/Color
- Launcher Pro (sidenote: too bad I can't create folders in the App Drawer )
- Battery life of more than 5-6 hours!!
Questions / How To:
1) I cannot root my GB with Super One Click. I'm thinking of Odin'ing to Froyo, Rooting.
2) How do I install CWM 3 or 4x on stock and just root? Odin? I found this but in which place do I put the package (PDA, Boot, etc.)
3) Do I install Voodoo, convert to exfat4, then Glitch? Or should I update Voodoo, install MIUI, then Glitch Kernel??
4) After installing exfat4, Can I just do Nandroid backup of my data, which will be installed as exfat?
5) Is Voodoo Sound installable is a kernel even when I have Glitch installed?
6) My battery life does not last past 5-6 hours!!! Terrible! I got this phone instead of my BB9700 as a straight-up trade and the Cappy has 10 months warranty left. Should I send it to Sammy?
Thanks in advance!

First off you can find ALL of this information on xda. Search and read. Ginger bread does not have a 1 click root, you can how ever use this thread for the rooting method on KF1, just for rooting. As for CWM its a kernel usually just stick it in pda. On the Voodoo your out of luck on native gingerbread roms since KF1 kernel has not drooped, however, you can have ext4 format with Cognition 5 and Atomic fusion if you know what you are doing. MIUI and Cyanogen have their own instructions on wich kernel and what not, BUT if your poor battery life is on these roms then they are the culprit since its a bug they have. I average anywhere from 12-30 hours of battery life dependent on usage on KF1 gingerbread roms, Ive been averaging about 16-45 hours with my current clock/voltage settings.
I would recommend you do research on KF1 Gb roms or I9000's ported ones and stay away of Miui or Cyanogen till they fix their battery, if having a long day without a charge is part of your life. Again search and read my friend =)
Haha his search button is broken, thts his excuse!

what rom & kernel for best battery time?

I was running miui and could not make a whole schoolday wich includes 2 hours music listening and some surf. I got 2.2.1 stock again now and its pretty decent. What rom and kernel is running low on battery??
im new to XDA!
I think u should go with Blockbuster 5.0 with galaxian EE kernel....i have same problem of battery but this rom fix this....u should try
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i think Galaxian is the best kernel
u should definitely go for galnet miui twoeey III or the latest chameleon RC3
just look in my signature below
I dont really know what i should go on but ill figure out tomorrow and probably flash tomorrow too.
ive flashed 2.3.4 and tornado rc2 with the tornado kernel, Every one says its verry smooth but when im scrolling in like market or surfing its pretty laggy ?? Isnt to fast when surfing at 3g either?
Beleive me stock rom with any custom kernel is the best.
Modify it by your self.Remove unnecesery apps with nitrality or sgs tool and you good to go.
Stock JVR+Semaphore kernel by Stratosk
I had Juwes Smart Edition 5.2 with talondev 4.2.22-1000/340MB, under clocked with voltage control, got easily 2 days +.
Blockbuster (with Galaxian) up to 12+ hrs with rather heavy use apps. (navigation and internet)
