[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!

[Q] Please help me how to upgrade to ICS

Hello guys ....
I m kind of new here...so i want to ask a little help..
This is the current of my phone configuration:
Firmware version= 2.3.3
Baseband version= I9000XXJVO
Kernel version= 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #Dark_core_2.4 Mon May 16 15:02:38 EEST 2011
Build number= DarkyROM JVH v10.1
My phone always " force applications close". So,I want to try install ICS (look stable and smooth) in my phone but questions is which rom and kernel should i use..thank you for your concern

download team icssgs rc4.2 from devolopment and put onto internal sd card
boot in to recovery mode long press volume+, home, and power
click wipe data/factory reset
click wipe cache partition
click install from sd
click rc4.2
phone will bootloop when it does pull battery and go into recovery again
click install from sd
click rc4.2
and most of all click thanks if i helped you, cheers

Thanks sam...i wonder did you also use this version and how long ?
Can i have you current phone configuration, incase reference in hence..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

ive been using it quite a while now and havent switched, im using a diferent kernel however, devil 14.2 but i hear 1.1.5 is just as good haven't tested yet
i would just use default settings and tweak as you get used to it, you can download nstools from market for tweaking also voodoo sound for audio tweaking

As above but don't forget to do a Nand backup. Some people have lost there IMEI numbers flashing Team ICSSG. (myself included - if it wasn't for the backup it is a mission to get the emia number back) I tried Team ICSSGS first and haven't looked back.
Semaphore 0.9.1 or Semaphore 0.8.1 are both great kernels. They both have similar speed as devil but have better battery life. (I've tried Devil 15.1 & 14.2, Semaphore 0.8, 0.8.1, 0.9 & 0.9.1)

ICSSGS RC4.2 doesn't have IMEI missing issue.
I tried installing top of stock ROM.
Just do a backup of "efs" folder which holds all the device identity details.
Incase if you loss your IMEI, you can simply replace "efs" folder to resolve the issue.

Can some explain to me why I would change my Kernel?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note NT-7000 which I won in a UK competition ..
Orignally it came with Gingerbread and had excellent life - then I did the official OTA update to ICS 4.0.3 and then I found it much slower and battery life sucked
So I decided to try rooting it to allow me to reset the battery calibration file.
I followed a very good video guide BUT I didn't add the Kernal, simply because I have no idea what the Kernal does.
I am confused as to what a Kernal is and what's the pro's and cons of different Kernals - perhaps that would make for a good video?
As far as I am ware my Kernel is whatever came with the phone. What is the safest / best Kernel to put on a Galaxy Note NT-7000?
I keep hearing for trying out new ROMs that something called the Abyss Kernel is safest? Could someone explain why this is the case and what's the latest version for my phone.
I used to have a ZTE Blade and used to flash ROMs on that all the time using ROM Manager but I don't ever remember anything about a Kernel.
When I tried ROM Manager on this phone it doesn't have any option for Samsung Galaxy Note, so I didn't go ahead and install the ClockWork Recovery.

All the ICS galaxy note has eMMC bug which can brick your phone due to wipe/factory reset.so,kernels basically save you from that.and plus gives you better performance and stability.and you can do many stuffs by rooting+wd a good kernel.
if you want a kernel for your stock rooted ics 4.0.3.then go for speed kernel or notecore.both are good and double safe.

You are with a dangerous kernel right now
Flash speedmod or notecore kernel which are asfe and emmc bug free

OK I've done a bit more reading since I posted and researched, so starting to understand a bit more was a kernel does
So right now I have a standard GalaxyNote ROM 4.0.3 (although I removed two Apps Weather App and Yahoo! Finance)
So if I want to simply change the Kernel, all I have to do is push the volume up button, home key and power and then it will book into the standard CWM and from there choose update from ZIP? and that is all that is needed to update the Kernel?
I was thinking of updating using the latest version of SpeedMod on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072
speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-CWM.zip
This version of ClockWorkMod doesn't have any backup option listed will an option to backup appear when I update the ZIP file?
I also now have Mobile Odin Pro could I use that in anyway to update the Kernel?
Do I need to change my Kernel from stock Kernel if I wish to load a totally new ROM using Mobile Odin Pro?
I was looking at perhaps trying Classic_ROM_V3 .zip which looked pretty good?

Mobile odin can be used to flash stock ROM not custom, you can flash custom kernel in same operation while flashing stock ROM with Mobile odin (by selecting custom kernel for kernel Tab)
Custom ROM will already have safe kernel, though you can change later.

Use mobile odin to flash your new custom kernal (a safe one free of emmc bug) you should then have clockwork recovery instead of stock and you can then flash new roms through said clockwork recovery. Or stay stock with the custom kernal.

Cool .. I used Mobile Odin and the speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar Kernel File .... all went well.
Now I am on Samsung's Stock 4.0.3 ROM
I've backed up this ROM in CWM to the SD Card
I ran some benchmarks before and after the Kernel upgrade - according to all the benchmarks it'snow running slower then before BUT the real world user experience seems faster.
If I were to do a Factory Reset would this Kernel now remain in place?
Also on the website I download the Kernal from (http://touristinparadise.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Samsung Galaxy Note)
It states This version is only for Samsung ICS ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or AOKP ROMS!
Does that mean Original Samsung ICS ROMs or does it also include ROMs which might be based on Samsung ROMs?
Main thing I want to try now is moving to an ICS 4.0.4 ROM so I can use the new Movable Video Feature and perhaps squeeze some more everyday battery life out of my phone.

Yes that is only for samsung galaxy note....it wnt work 4 custom roms......

Problems with AOKP JB Build 2

just updated from Helly bean to AOKP JB BUILD 2 (using semaphore as the default kernel) and I have some questions and problems:
EDIT:
5) most important:
I have a serious battery drain.. I lose over 60% battery in 1 night! (I used to lose only 3%...)
in settings->battery I see 'android OC- 41%' and I dont know which application cause it..
, the phone is awake almost all the time..
what do to?
1) when phone is plugged in to the computer, in "my computer" I can only see Internal storage as 'removable disk' but I can not see my external 32GB SD card.. I could always see it(total two 'removable disk'.. ) and now I see only 1 :/ whats wrong?
(of course the external sd card is available for use on phone and my galaxy s recognizes it, when I connect the sd card without the phone, I see it perfectly, therefore there is nothing wrong with the sd card)
2) cant install devil kernel... :/ whenever I try switching to devil kernel, after the installation the phone reboots, starts, however the rom never loads and I have to re install the whole rom.. why? I could install devil kernel on Milestone 6.. :/
. im using the latest semaphore version and im trying to flash via recovery devil kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1795274
3) why there are no OC functions? I can not overclock over 1000, I just do not have another options..moreover voltage settings are not supported on this kernel.. and even NSTools program is irreverent for this specific kernel and I can not use it.. I do not have that 'blicking' option, dont have the regular cheduler, and has only 5 govemor options.. I dont get it why semaphore is very poor of settings and why AOKP decided using it anyway..
so someone knows which kernel should I use or how to fix it?
4) do you guys think AOKP will add more settings is BUILD 3? and when will it be released?
and just an advice for all of you whos using AOKP JB:
***Gapps link is broken is Build 2, so I have flashed the gapps which in Build 1 and its working great! if you have any issues with the gapps in B2, just go to build 1 and download from there

first thing you can ask the question in the rom thread...however to answer your question here you go:
1. which semaphore version you are using try switching to latest one...
2. which devil version you are trying to flash...
3. no idea i never oc the cpu..
4. yep...there might be although i am not using the akop version so not sure
5. yes i think flashing old gapps is fine till you are able yo use phone.

New semaphore app is with sema manager! Available oc and etc..
I use tsunami jb sokp b2 and it's perkekt!

Gingerbread or ICS Stock?

Good day everyone. I just want to ask you guys, especially those who are using stock roms, which do you prefer, stock ics or stock gb? I'm coming from PA by Utacka and I pretty much used custom roms from the start so i never actually used stock.
Please provide a reason as to why. I just want to have a stable rom while waiting for the official jelly bean update.
Thank you everyone.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

there is no as such reasons to be on a particular ROM.. its each and everyones taste that keep them stuck to a particular rom,
as far as stock is concerned stock ICS rooted with a hydracore kernel works best for me

I would compare GB to windows XP. Sure it was good back in the day, but it's had it's run now and time to stay current. ICS has been released for a good while now and should have had all the bugs ironed out. Little things like the improved task switching (previews over icons), and swipe to dismiss notifications, while small differences make for a better experience over all.
A better kernal like hydracore to improve battery life and a stock ICS (or maybe back to rocketrom) would be what i would go back to if i was so inclined (i'm on utacka's PA at the moment too)

Thank you for the answer. My only intention is to have a pretty reliable phone so I can use my phone when it really counts. I hate that when I have to do something really important, I will encounter freezes or out of memory error that prevents me to actually multitask.
I haven't tried rocketrom but I am willing to try that. My only fear is if it will lag after few days of use. My boss' phone which is sgs2 would go for days or months without a reboot and he is on stock gb. He doesn't know anything about smartphones in general so he thinks he is using a regular phone, and he is pretty happy about the phone's performance. I just want the same experience.
Thank you.

ICS 4.0.4 without hesitation especially with interducing of safe kernel

Flash stock ICS 4.0.4 via PC Odin (the new one like xxlrt or ddlr9) then flash safe stock kernel like PhilZ kernel for your new rom from (also via odin or cwm): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And thats it!! Full stock, very smooth (compared with older 4.0.4), and most important it is perfectly stable, and everything works.
I only aded a call recording mode beacause I realy need it.
Hope that help!

Okay I'll look into that. Someone suggested about Rocketrom, do you think that Rocketrom could perhaps be more stable and faster than fully stock ( except kernel maybe) xxlrt or ddlr9, and do everything work on that? Files are too large for touchwiz roms so i want to know more about different types of rom before doing some flashing. I won't have so much time this coming months so I really want a reliable phone. Thanks a lot.

I dont want complaining on certain rom, but if you ask i will say my opinion on rocketrom. It is a good and stable rom, i have used it with hydracore kernel and dont find any problems with in about 2-3 weeks of use. But it is based on xxlrq which i found a bit laggy for me (the same story is for completly stock xxlrq). I dont know which is a difernce in xxlrq compared to xxlrt (some says the diference is only in kernel but i dont know).
So i was tired of flashing and stuff and decided to go on completly stock, picked up a latest xxlrt and whoaa, great. The reason why i am on lrt because my note is from german, i think that same story is for indian lr6 and lr9.
Then the story begins:
-Flashed stock GB xxlc1 via pc odin
-full wipe
-flash stock ics 4.0.4. xxlrt via pc odin
-root (dr.ketans guide) - only because of callrecord mod
-first flashed hydracore 4.3std kernel (also great kernel) and then philZ realesed his stock, emmc bug free kernel, so i flashed it.
Now used only a PhilZ kernel because it is completly stock with removed emmc brick bug. And for stock xxlrt rom it is perfect combination for me (just choose right kernel for your rom)
-Added only call recording mode
-settings > application > unninstalling aplications which i dont use ; > ALL > disabling (readers, music, social hub, etc...)
-And thats it!
Perfectly stable, smooth with great battery life, without any problem, FC or else. Without reboot for about 3 days (reason flashed Philz kernel 23.09)
Finally happy with my note :victory:
Hope that helped
