[Q] [KERNEL] SpeedMod Captivate [K12T HPCall VoodooSnd4 SharpnessFix STABLE] on I896?

Hello,
Sorry to sound like a complete noob in advance!
I have a new Samsung Captivate I896 on Rogers in Canada. I have ryans OCLF lagfix installed atm but i'm really interested in flashing this rom (will be my first one) and am wondering if it will work on this phone.
Also, is it just a backround fix? Will I still be able to use launcher pro, and will my phone still look the same with Froyo 2.2?
thanks in advance!

Speedmod is not a ROM, but a kernel.
As to your other questions, you have a LOT of reading left to do.

Agreed. Just to be save do alot of reading before attempting anything really lol. There are stickies in the Development section start there.

Ok so I did a little more reading. I896 and I897 are essentially the same. I'm not flashing a rom, just a kernel, so there should be no issue with the 3G problem mentioned in the wiki.
It won't change my rom or anything about the device other then how the filesystem works.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm pretty new here too, and I have to tell you that know one will give you a straight answer. There's a lot of' tribal knowledge', and it seems that people would rather teach you how to unbrick your phone than to flash it without issue.
First of all, hook up to Samsung Kies and update your phone to Froyo. If you are on Rogers it's an official update, don't worry about flashing any other roms yet.
Next, Use the option in the OLCF to unlagfix.
Next, you will need to root your phone. OCLF is practically obsolete, as the developer does not update anymore. Your best bet is Superoneclick. Read all instructions first. It is very easy and effective.
After you have the phone rooted, you can now install Titanium Backup. This will save all of your apps, contact info, settings, virtually everything on the phone, it will save them to a folder on your external SD. drop and drag this folder to your desktop in case anything goes wrong. I never had a problem.
You should backup your kernel. I used Neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher. It will save your kernel as an 'update.zip' in your root folder. Drag this to your desktop and put it into a folder called 'i897 orig kernel' or what have you, in case something goes wrong. I never had a problem.
Now you can flash SpeedMod. The developer's website, which is linked to in the thread's first post, will walk you though it. You will first need to install ODIN. The SpeedMod developer has a step-by-step on how to flash SpeedMod using ODIN on the developer's page. Make sure you choose a Speedmod Kernel that is intended for the Captivate, not the I9000, and that you chose the one for ODIN, not the ClockWorkMod version. Follow the steps in the Developer's page.
When you have done that, reboot into recovery mode and you should see Green Text. From here you can enable the lagfix and other tweaks. use the volume keys to select the option you want and the power button to select. under the options, it will show you which tweaks you have enabled or disabled.
Remember to select the most stable SpeedMod release, the one that is posted in the Forum (K12U-T4) is a TEST VERSION, hence the 'T'. The latest stable version as of this writing was K12T, as posted in the developer's page. I have had great results with this one.
You may find that you don't need to flash a custom ROM, I have found this setup very satisfying.
Good Luck!

Wow,
Thank you so much clemmie! That's was succinct and very helpful, especially the part about the proper way to back up my stuff.
I uninstalled OCLF just now, and it seems my phone runs at the same speed (aka fast) as it did with the lag fix installed!
Going to flash this kernel tonight or tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again!

Good to hear. There would be a lot less smoke and mirrors if people would just be straightforward and post step by step instructions with links, to give people what they want. I hope what worked for me will work for you, and I encourage you to share what you learn as well.

Kernel flash done! Screen is initially very different looking thanks to the amoled mod. Success! Backed up, thanks for all the help.

hey clemmie,
i heard that there's some issues with voice quality due to the Speedmod kernel being initially i9000-based and that it's recommended to flash a i9000-based modem. Are you having any issues with using a stock i896 modem or do you recommend something else?

Yeah, that is true, but I haven't had any problems with the stock modem. The phone works as well in-call as any other I've owned. I wonder if there is a difference between the AT&T build vs. the Rogers build. It seems that it's the AT&T folks that have issues.

Hi,
I've been wanting to do this but I'm a bit wary if this will put the ATT splash screen on boot as well. Also, I like how my phone looks like now with ADW launcher and beautiful widgets installed, I'm just wondering if installing this mod would change my appearance settings too.

Are you on Rogers? Earlier versions of the SpeedMod kernel had the AT&T splash screen, but newer versions have a simple black screen similar to the stock Samsung boot logo.
Installing the SpeedMod kernel will not change the configuration, apps, or settings of your apps. There are some settings that you can tweak in recovery mode but they are mostly file system tweaks. You will however notice that screen resolution is sharper. Your phone will run smoother and more efficiently with better battery life. You can still flash any custom or stock ROM with SpeedMod or without SpeedMod.

Yes I am on Rogers. However, I can't seem to find the stable version K12T that you mentioned on your instructions from the developer's page.

If you click on the hotlinked 'SpeedMod' in my 'tutorial' post, it will take you to the XDA page dedicated to the SpeedMod revisions. Right now there is a 13A Test version posted, but the latest stable version is now K12U. If you click where it says 'more info and downloads', it will take you to the developer's(Hardcore) blog, 'Tourist In Paradise'. The revisions are listed there. I would bookmark this page and check back frequently, as Hardcore is constantly updating. However, I'll link you to the latest stable release for ODIN, K12U:
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B-3n...WJmNTUtZDVmNThmMmNhZTRm&export=download&hl=en

Thanks for that! I just did this and although it didn't show the ATT boot screen, it shows the Galaxy S I 897 screen after the I 896 though. Thanks again!

Glad to hear you had success. Not so hard after all, eh?

After using this for a day or two:
I can't believe how fast my phone is. I thought it was fast before with (and then without) the oclf. I can barely keep up!
Battery life seems improved.
Screen is perfect. The lowest brightness setting is much better and more comfortable for low light usage.
I lost 1000 points off quadrant, but quadrant doesn't matter.
The only real downside is call quality took a hit. It's a bit static-y and echo-y.
I'll look into this though and see if I can find a solution, but if you have any tips let me know.

Looks like you are a candidate for a modem flash. Let me know if you find something that works, there is a lot of info on swapping modems for SpeedMod. Maybe I'll try one too!

Hey clemmie (or anyone), if I want to install voodoo lagfix - how abouts would I do that if the SpeedMod kernel already comes with / is based on sztupy's Universal Lagfix (enhanced) and if voodoo is a kernel itself (unless I'm wrong about this)?

If you flash the SpeedMod kernel, voodoo lagfix comes integrated with the kernel. It's a master of enabling it from the recovery menu.

[Q] Lagfix options

I have rooted my phone using the Onclick rooting software, that seems to have been a success.
However, I tried using teh OCLF from market to lagfix it but nothing seem to have happened in the 30mins I let it do its thing. THe progress bar goes full then start again, and does this repeatedly. And after reading around some people say that's now out dated and other lag fixes should be more suitable
So, now that my Samsung G S is rooted, what options for lagfixes do I have?

Hi, im asking the same questions
Hi, i am in uk running stock froyo 2.2, I have rooted my phone using Z4root, but I want to put a lagfix on, I have read that OCLF isnt very good anymore, and voodoo you have to install a new rom and im not brave enough to do anything like that so which is the best lagfix i can use and i have heard about overclocking what does that mean? thanks in advance
can anyone help us please

Besides the fact I dont know whats a Samsung G S and no idea what your ROM version is you could do what I did. But depends on your ROM and SGS version!!!
But its on all your risk. Read manuals and warnings to the kernel and the app. You have been warned (I have done this on 2 SGS mine and my friends till now , he has 2.2 stock rom and I 2.2.1 stock JPY too)
Took the neldar kernel flasher , backed up my stock kernel.
Then flashed the speedmod CWM version with the kernel flasher, kernel you can find in the speedmod kernel thread.
Applied the tweaks and lagfixes (ext4) from the recovery. done
and that was it. btw when you do this, try to run the rom WITHOUT the lagfixes, just with the new kernel so you can easily get back to your stock. If you want more, then go to the recovery ULK options and do the recommended tweaks from there. If you still need it, then apply the lagfixes (always backup and always on your own risk)

Not sure you have to install another rom, but I do not know the the original voodoo kernel . Maybe you could try with the one I suggested up there.Btw there is more kernels to choose from, depends on your Galaxy Version and ROM.
Overclocking is nothing you should be concerned with yet I think there is a pretty big speed jump from stock to custom kernel, then from custom tweaks and also to lagfixes. If you are not satisfied then you can try that. OC should make the phone faster. In my opinion though the 1GHz is enough for the phone. With OC come some risks (heat, battery usage, stability)

Last night I managed to get the OCLF working on the phone and noticed improvements. Now that I have a lagfix working, will OCLF be alright to leave on there? Or do you still recommend going to somethign else? (I didn't quite understand why OCLF is being considered out dated anyway).

Install the new version (2.2.1) and lagfix is of no need anymore.
Completely satisfied with a smooth running Galaxy now.

Well keep the lagfix you have now. If you wanted try something else you would have to undo the changes you have done till now. If it works and you like it keep it..
To plexat: yes the 2.2.1 it's sufficient in speed.
In my case though I had to do already 2 factory reset once cuz the phone didn't start at all and in time even the 2.2.1 became slow. I installed the custom kernel though just for the sharpness fix but was surprised with the lower battery usage and speed. There is still a big speed jump from stock to custom

Ok man, first of all. You have stock 2.2 but which phone exactly?
In the kernel thread, is written for which phones it is and also for which ROM.
So if it fits yours. You can try what I wrote you somewhere up. Backup, flash the CWM version etc.
First make sure though if you have the correct kernel for your ROM and phone. AND you shouldn't have any other type lagfixes applied.
Thats kinda all. What you can do if you have root, without any trouble, is backup your kernel with the app. Then verify if other things fit. And you can try to flash a custom kernel.
EDIT: Why are you still on 2.2? I mean UK had as one of the first 2.2.1 and plexat is right. 2.2.1 is faster and smoother as 2.2 ? If you dont have any lagfixes or other custom things applied you should kinda update to 2.2.1

Hi Pagot, I checked I had the right kernel and stuff and YIPPEE ive done it, my heart was in my mouth but i took the plunge and it now says i have the kernel above, it does seem more responsive and quicker although the benchmark still says the same? the reason I have still got 2.2 is because I have a branded o2 phone and they havent released it yet for branded phones and i am scared to try and flash it to 2.2.1 is there anything i can now do to speed it up anymore ie lag fixes and things thanks for your help

Glad it worked for you
Well not sure about upgrading the rom with a custom kernel. Am new at this too . So dont flash a rom yet.
From what I asked in the speedmod kernel thread. It should be safe to put back the stock backup kernel you made with the app and then to update if its out. Thats just for 2.2.1 upgrade for you in the future. The condition is however no lagfixes applied!!! If you have them applied it can and will probably go bad on the update!!!

Ok please dont look at the score. Mine is actually worse as on the stock kernel if you are talking about quadrant. They are irrelevant.
If your phone feels right, leave it as it is
If you want to tweak it little more. Get to the recovery and there are some tweaks,should be still safe to make. They are marked as recommended in the ULK options.
I wouldn't suggest yet to apply a lagfix. Try it how it feels now. If it starts getting bad and laggy etc. Then experiment with that. I had a lagfix but reverted back, for me the speed is sufficient how it is now
Since you have now CWM you can even backup your whole phone.
If you dont know how to go to the recovery the 3 button combo. There are many nice tools in the market for that. I personally use SGS toolbox/tools, in it is a shorcut with reboot to recovery.
When you are there. the BACK button is actually like OK so beware of that!!! You navigate with the volume button UP/DOWN and confirm with home or back.

Thanks again, been in and enabled tweeks, just so as I no, I noticed in recovery there is a lagfix option is this where i go to apply this and if I do it how do I disable it if I want to
Also you said I could backup my phone now how do I do this Thanks again

Wow my phone is really speedy now thanks for all the help I've now flashed kernel tweaked and applied lagfix and all is well I've backed up my phone as well

Ha seriously glad for you . One day you have no idea about anything, the next day you run a custom kernel with lagfixes and tweaks.
When you get to it, its kinda not so difficult. (It took me kinda a half year )

How true. Just in case get familiar with Odin. Having fun with flashing by CWM can sometimes result in being stuck. Knowing how to use Odin and having all necessary files on your computer should give you some sense of security.

[Q] Ok to use modded kernel with stock froyo (KB1)?

Is it ok to use a modded kernel (like paragon) with a stock rom (KB1)?

I believe so.i think as long as you use a 2.2 kernal. I'm probably wrong though. Lol
I kill coneys, not phones.

The various release notes imply that it is possible but since its my wife's phone I dont really feel like getting killed for bricking it.

Have no fear. If you follow the instructions you will be totally impressed with the performance improvement. I am running totally stock with the exception of my stock kernel with voodoo lagfix and you can't beat it with a stick.

Cognition 4.x is basically stock Froyo with a lagfixed kernel.

If you don't want to venture too far from stock, you could use Supercurio's stock + Voodoo lagfix kernel for KB1.

You can flash the CWM version using SGS Kernel Flasher. It'll take a while for the first boot up, but you'll get audio prompts that it is working. Just take your typical precautions...backup, blah blah blah.
Works great with KB1.

I actually have CWM flashed onto her phone from installing PlumbBob's GPS fix so I could flash it with CWM. Thanks.
My main reason for flashing a different kernel was because her battery life is lousy compared to my phone with Serendipity and Paragon.

IMHO, the battery life has been great since flashing that kernel. I haven't done any official logging or anything, though.
And the difference in speed because of the lag fix is unbelievable. Incomparable.

I absolutely agree with you lactardjosh.
Suoercurio has done a fantastic job in creating these kernels.
I flashed the V+KB1 the other day and my devices runs as if it's on a silicon base. Smooth - Extremely responsive - No difference in battery life - and most importantly - All of the features that are supposed to work...do!

Flashing the kernel did not wipe my phone. BUT, you should definitely do a back up before flashing it. Just good practice.
The first time you boot up after flashing the kernel, it will take a while to finish booting. It'll stay on the AT&T World Phone splash for quite a while. You'll get a digitized voice telling you that the Voodoo lag fix is running and it'll give you an estimated time to complete it. The first time I did it, I couldn't understand what it said, but after messing up something else and having to go back to 2.1 and then upgrade to 2.2 again (which did wipe my phone), I realized that the first time it had told me it was going to take 10 minutes to enable the lag fix. The second time around, it took 2 minutes because there was nothing extra on the phone since it had just been wiped. So, depending on how many apps, etc, you have installed, the lag fix will take a more or less time. Let it run, find something else to distract you from how long it is taking.

I have enabled the lagfix on my phone. My wife has a LOT of apps on her phone so it will take awhile. I backed the rom up using rommanager and copied the Titanium backup directory off to my home computer.

I installed the Supercurio kernel last night on my wifes phone so it will be interesting to see whether the battery life gets any better. The phone should run smoother though.

Well, You have to use both to see which suits you better. I would flash CM7 now and wait for Edgar to release his next version which is expected by the end of the coming week.
You need not root your phone. You need to flash the vulnerable recovery to be able to run Androidiani OR. Once you flash CM7, your phone will be rooted automatically.

As far as I know, there aren't any glaring security risks that have been discussed at all. Seeing as Gingerbread is really just based off of the 2.2.1/2.2.2 kernel, I don't see any risks associated.

Thanks for all of the help guys, but I have decided that it may just be too much for me.
I had an original iphone which I jailbroke and installed apps on, but that was years ago. Ever since then I hadn't really messed around with hacking my phone and now I am hesitant to start again, especially with a new os.

All of the tutorials in the development forums are fairly straightforward. Also, I have compiled a tutorial ZIP that I have given to a few people, if you want. I made about 40 steps from start to finish. It's up to you.

Really thought that Gingerbread would rekindle some interest in me for my Milestone, but I think I am gonna trade it away especially sine I have my Nexus One

-On Captivate (obviously)
-Was on 2.2 Froyo
-Rooted phone using superoneclick.
-pleased overall. Looked into new ROMs, but couldnt quite get an understanding
-Ended up updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5 via kies mini
-killed my root access
Here are my issues:
-Cannot figure out how to root
alternatively, cannot figure out how to revert back to froyo to root, then download and apply Cyanogenmod7, which is what i actually want
-When i was rooted on froyo 2.2, i would try to use ROM MANAGER and it kept saying the SD needed to be mounted, even though it was.
Basically, if someone could either copy-paste (or provide a link to) a guide as to how i can go from 2.3.5 Gingerbread to Cyanogenmod 7, i would be forever greatful.
I want to be able to overclock my cpu for better proformance, plus have FULL costomization abilities. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I ROOTED MY CAP WHEN IT WAS 2.2 YESTERDAY, AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH ANY SORT OF MODDING.

Take a look in the development section.
You'll need to run one of the one-click stock ODIN or HEIMDALL packages with CWM baked in to get you a setup that will work for going to CM7 (there's one in my sig if you need it).
Once you do that, look for the CM7 thread in the Development section. It has a step-by-step guide to flashing CM7 (basically download, backup, flash).

well if you used super one click to root it back then, i would use super one click (new version) to root it again...
cm 7 has instructions.

if you really wanna know how to root 2.3.5...it's in the general section.

ok guys.
I used heimdall to go back to froyo
Then instead of cm7 i flashed cognition through clockworkmod rom manager
now im running on cognition 4.5.3
however, all overclocking apps i try wont go beyond 1000mhz.
im trying to get it to at least 1200.
Any ideas? Fixes?
thanks in advance. you guys have been very helpful.

You'll want to take a look at the kernels compatible with Cog, I'm not familiar with Cog, so I can't give you any direction as to which one you could try

Froyo isn't as freaking kernel picky as gingerbread. Any froyo kernel will work, just remember if you use a reoriented I9000 kernel you will need to flash an I9000 modem as well. This will also give you hsupa at the cost of audience chip support.

upgrade again to uckj3 firmware with bootloader then flash boog kj3 kernel it have cwm recovery
after flashing recovery
wipe data and cache
install cm7 from recovery it will fail for the first time again go to recovery and install cm7 after installing cm7 wipe data and cache again reboot the phone it will take time as the phone will regenerate dalvik cache
cm7 is pre overclocked to 1300 mhz you can increase the overclock to 1700 mhz by flashing glitch kernel

It isn't pre overclocked, it comes at a stock 1000 MHz or 1GHz.... Then you can OC with Glitch and stock I believe. But it isn't 'pre overclocked'
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

it is pre overclocked we just need to set it through cpu setting or set cpu like apps

If you need to set it, it's not PRE overclocked. The stock kernel just comes with the ability TO overclock
If it was preoverclocked you wouldn't need to set it with an app..it would be oc'ed by default...lol

I am really struggling as to whether it's worth upgrading to stock GB.
I mean the "newer and better" is sitting there beckoning me with its siren song, but there appear to be lots of little landmines that people are then regretting the upgrade.
1) tethering mgr error
2) bad battery life
3) random shutdowns/reboots
etc, etc
Are the "benefits" really noticeable such that it is worth taking the risk of the landmines and the time/hassle of trying to fix them?
