Hey guys! Hope I don't get flamed for posting in development but it just doesn't seem like this should be in general... Anyways, sztupy over in the i9000 forums developed a universal lagfix kernel that is compatible with Eugene373's JPM Froyo rom. You are able to convert your partitions [including /dbdata and /cache] to EXT4, EXT2, and JFS.
The original forum can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814228
I have flashed this and have successfully converted my partitions using the EXT4 Advanced and Overkill options and back to RFS. All buttons work in recovery [yes including the power button] BUT when using your phone HOME and BACK both act as HOME. I just did this today so I cannot comment on battery life. One thing that is pretty cool though is this has back light notification built into it and I can confirm it works. I made a flashable zip for the latest build 0.3 and have flashed it successfully.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything you do to your device. So proceed at your own risk.
ENJOY!
The backlight notification, does it stay on persistently, once you get a message, or does it go on and off? Example, if I get a message while I'm sleeping are my leds going stay lit all night?

eugenes kernel is the only reason why we have all the buttons working. If you flash a different kernel it will mess up back and home and break things. Don't people read anymore??
If any thing we should be flashing any rom from the i9000 then eugenes kernel

I've not seen anybody report anything else breaking minus the key mapping. Also, calm down. I'm just interested in the complete rfs replacement w/ ext4 and backlight notify. Why does it bother you if people want to satisfy curiosity?

You r right, I see too many people jumping to flash "anything", without taking precautions, and after the fact running crazy to fix the mess. Giving this kind of advice, while is not polite, it is wise....

It's funny over in eugene373's people were talking about this lagfix, and it was suggested to start a new thread to avoid clutter. Good advice. Now the only people posting here want nothing to do with said lagfix.???

I think you got it wrong. We are not saying no to do things or experiment. Is just there are people that don't understand exactly what they are doing, and follow this threads, and do the changes without precautions.
One thing is to experiment, but is important to point out what the consecuences maybe.
Without a back button working, it really makes this phone a pain in the a$$ to navigate!!! especially when in your messaging or facebook app. Not really worth flashing till one of the vibrant devs can fix the back button in one of these lag fix kernals.

The no back button is proving annoying for sure. Just wanted to post an update. I converted to Advanced JFS successfully and got a quad score of 1560. One other thing that does seem to be broke [as expected] is media sound. Ringtones still work. The backlight notification has been working great! However it does not seem to ever turn off [can disable it in recovery]. Battery life seems fairly decent so far. Think I'll give Overkill JFS a go and see how it runs. Would definitely be nice if this could be compiled into Eugene's kernel. Hopefully more will come of this...
I'm going to take a look at their kernel source and the source that eugene has for his ROM and see what I can do between the two, maybe I will be able to get this running on the Vibrant with correct keymapping

Hello everyone, I have a Captivate flashed with a darkytt3r v8.1 ROM. I ran a quadrant standard benchmark and got a pretty good 1105 Mhz. Then I realized I hadn't even flashed speedmod-kernel-i897-k12o-500hz-CWM. After I flashed it from the SGS kernal flasher and then i did another benchmark and got 1018. Did that ROM come with a better speed mod that I overwrote with this one? Can anybody suggest a good speed mod to put on my phone? I like to have my phone push the boundary's of going so fast it combusts so the faster the bester
Am I seeing double?
As long as you try to fix it you can see whatever you want haha
Stop using quadrant!!!
Use whatever kernel feels fastest.
Sent from my phone
I am sure that soon there are going to be anti-quadrant lynchmobs comprised of more than half the people in the SGS forums.
Dupont, the succinct fact of the matter is that quadrant means nothing.
As far as I know (and am concerned), Linpack is the only somewhat worthwhile benchmarking utility, second only to simply how the UI feels in your hands.
Also, before we jump to conclusions, do you enable any lagfixes?
Beyond what I've already stated, it doesn't take all that much to quickly look over the 5 or so worthwhile kernels in the development section and make an educated decision on your own.
I just got this phone which is my first android phone so i don't know what lagfixes are but Im pretty sure i dont have any

That quadrant disparity you might be experiencing might be due to darky 8.1 having a preinstalled, enabled by default lagfix that disappeared when you installed the speedmod kernel.
I don't mean to be a tough-love welcome party (by the way, welcome to the android community), but I know I did a lot of reading about, messing with, and messing up my phone before I even joined the captivate forums.
Do yourself a favor and read some of the dev stickies about ROMs, kernels, and modems just to get a bit better of an idea of their basic purpose/function, then look through the rest of the dev threads for kernels that might be what you're looking for, but (more importantly) would be compatible with your ROM.
It seems like a PITA, but knowing more about how your phone works will benefit you a great deal in the long run. Put in the time, reading, and careful experimenting right now, and you'll be flashing ROMs like a pro in no time.
Speedmod is also just the name of a Kernel. It is not a type of thing that goes on your phone. If you want the fastest speed, use an overclocked Kernel. I have used them in the past, but have always came back to Speedmod because it gets updated so regularly and also has the Voodoo Sound fix.
Thanks guys. I have no problem flashing roms as I watched many video on how to and read many articles on it. Also it might help that my father is senior member of this site with more than 10000 posts . I'll search through and see if I can't learn more about it.
Thanks again, Richard

OK so after searching for what i call a very long time, i still haven't found what im looking for..
Basically i just want to know what people think regarding Speedmod vs Voodoo. what do people prefer and why ???
for me, I have tried both and didn't really see much difference in performance, dont get me wrong i think both are FAST but i don't think one is faster than the other..
i just want some opinions that's it.... not a speedmod vs voodoo gang war lol
I personally use speedmod due to the regular updates from Hardcore but as far as I can see they're both awesome. I have used Voodoo too but not in any great length to see what it's really like. Best thing to do is try them both out for yourself and see which you prefer
As above. I have tried both and found no difference in performance. I prefer speedmod due to being able to see what's going on during lagfix process and I also find it easy on the eyes. Superficial I know but when they are so close you have to have reasons for you choice. Plus im not a fan of the scary lady. If you don't know what I mean, try voodoo :-D
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I use speedmod because frequent updates, speed, CWR and lagfix included, from 2-3 version it is compatible with voodoo sound and for patience of developer with user.
Eventually I think it's everyone's perception, if the phone is moving well when used that kernel is the best.
Yes the first time i tried voodoo i almost **** my self, my phone was talking to me, i was googling it and everything trying to find out what it was.. i thought it was going to self destruct lol... i do like speedmod, it has the tweak options and even better root/unroot.
but im on voodoo again at the moment as it came with darkys 9.0.2 ROM.. but i might go back to speedmod soon ..
I tried voodoo (advanced 69 or something) for a couple of days, but went back to speedmod as I felt that speedmod was more stable :/ When I first flashed voodoo it apparently crashed/hung my phone overnight, and as a result my alarm didn't go off in the morning -.- Probably unlucky or something, but that turned me off it.. Phone also rebooted randomly over the next few days. I haven't really flashed anything new for a month or so though, so maybe it's gotten better now
OK guys, I need to know which roms are the best for the captivate and why. I am a Vibrant user and have been flashing for a while now, I have a buddy that has a captivate and wants to finally root and flash something spectacular,,,,
The problem is I don't know anything about the teams, and roms for captivate. Serious input please, no flaming or bashing, I really need the hard info,
Battery life, looks, ease of use, modems, kernels, etc...
Thanks
adamholden has some great ones like the: phoenix rom, firefly rom and the new supernova rom (running it awsome) also the serendipity rom

+1 to Serendipity. It's a great all around ROM and doesn't have flashy themes taht look ugly. Just a very nice stock look and it has great battery life.

Took a look at the serendipity rom, looks like a good rom, how stable have the roms from this developer been? And they include the voodoo lagfix from supercurio correct?

Serendipity is stable. Mikey is very active with fixes. It uses hardcores kernel which uses ulk lag fix, which is similar to voodoo

Thanks for the quick response. ulk? have to research that one. But I do like what I have been reading in the serendipity thread.
Can you tell me anything about the pheonix rom? reading thru that one as well, and not seeing many bugs reported there either.
BTW leaving work now, won't be back on until tomorrow so if I don't respond again until tomorrow, Thanks for your input. I hit the thanks button on one of the other posts for you.
Phoenix uses same kernel, although an older version, and lag fix. Also stable also active dev. Matter of opinion as to which is better.
My two cents, currently my favorite 2 are paragon and stripped
IMO Andromeda v1.1 is an smooth stock like rom. 1.5 to 2 times the battery life from JH7 stock rom and better signal coverage.... it utilizes the 850mhz band better than the stock rom.
My vote is for Paragon...awesome and the kernel is super!
Phoenix is also a nice rom and the new Sucker Punch kernel seems to be doing great too.
I stopped using Serendipity a while ago as I did not like some of the changes that were introduced but I need to test the new versions.
I have tried pretty much everything else and those are my top too.
Currently testing Supernova.
Hi,
I was about to post a similar thread. I have an Evo & a buddy of mine who has a Captivate has been having some issues related to Android 2.1. Are these custom roms (Paragon, Phoenix, Serendipity) all Froyo 2.2 roms?
I am an Evo "Fresh Rom" user at first, now I stick with CM6.12 & try nightlies often as well.
Any advice for a solid 2.2 rom would be great!
Thanks,
Rich
I really recommend docs, I'll post link at the end, but I've had the best battery life and stability with it, also the rom kitchen is a huge selling point. You can generate a "cooked" rom with apps, modems, kernels, themes, boot animations, sounds, keyboards, tweaks, to your liking. With many of each to choose from. Very easy, with wipe and no wipe flashes available, pick and choose, don't like something then cook another, no biggie. Themes are most of the popular ones. I've cooked many myself, here is the link to the rom kitchen: http://romkitchen.org/capt/?s=home With out actually generating the rom you can select and choose to see your options. Hope this helps I will also post the roms link

I'm actually running gingerborgmod 9.1.8 its a cooked version from borg based off of docs, sorry I don't have link but you can search, he has been updating it with all the latest goodies, kernels etc. give either the kitchen a shot, or gingerborgmod. A shot don't think he'll be disappointed. Any questions just ask.

Tooka a look at Docs kitchen and pretty cool, would be better if I knew the specifics on all the stuff. Guess I need to do some research on the captivate modems, kernels, and other stuff
this is my setup.
Serendipity 5.8
Suckerpunch build #48 OC to 1.12ghz and undervolted
JL3 modem
and i find that i get better battery life with juice defender. some people hate it, but i seem to do better with it....
and with just basic usage, calling, texting websurfing, my phone has dropped 30% in 12.5 hours.
Another best rom thread? Come one guys we all know the deal with these. No one can tell you what will work best on any givin device. I will leave this one open for now. The first flame I see will have this thread closed and deleted.

Thanks mod, I did specify no flaming in the op, also this isn't supposed to be about best rom but more for me to gather info, a starting point for my own research
Can someone recommend a 2.2 Rom? i am a little confused if the above listed roms are 2.1 or 2.2?
i'm currently using a cooked up ROM from the Kitchen, and so far it's my favorite Captivate experience. if you know what to do with it, it's nice, and regardless very sleek and smooth. Andromeda, Serendipity, and Firefly are all worth a chance too, some of my favorite ROMs
Hey everyone.
So first, huge thanks to the entire SGS community for making it so easy for an utter noob like myself to build a kernel for the vibrant.
So, anyway, what is this kernel anyway since so many other talented devs (eugene, ttabbal, morfic, etc.) have already released tons of kernels?
Simply, this is basically a ~99% stock samsung kernel, built from recently released KA6 source, with a few additions:
Voodoo lagfix with red clockwork recovery
Voodoo Sound v4
Voodoo Color - (added in test 2)
Backlight Notification mod
CIFS support - (added in test 2, skitz in irc asked for this)
331mb ram hack, honestly, I don't see a difference from stock 311 config, but whatever.
Plans for the future:
none, sorry, kind of tired of my Vibrant, back to trying to trade for a G2. Besides, cmenard did a better job at making a stock+voodoo kernel with his "Overstocked" builds here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967861
Download and flash with clockworkmod, its safe to flash with voodoo enabled (I did several times tonight.) The zip files provided here don't include BLN control, you need to download it from the market to get the latest version. Personally, I'd say buy the pro app (I did), Neldar deserves your $2 in support of how awesome this mod is.
Kernel versions can be checked using my modified Settings.apk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977211
Huge thanks to:
Supercurio - for voodoo, and so much else that generally makes kernel building simple for the SGS!
Neldar - for the awesome, AWESOME backlight notification mod. Go buy his pro app to support him!
ttabbal - for helping me with some config issues, and generally putting up with all my noob questions and behavior
morfic - for likewise helping me with config and and also putting up with me being a noob
eugene373 - uhm, just for being here and helping out, I probably would have returned my vibrant long ago if it hadn't been for his original roms, etc.
sombionix & teamwhiskey - for nice, fast, stable base-roms for my daily use
camalot, the3dman, zimp, et. al. - for being generally awesome people and for helping re-kindle my interest in android =)

SOURCE
Didn't realize this was such a huge deal, since I didn't write ANYTHING at all myself, but whatever, thanks for making android not-fun again.
https://bitbucket.org/jocelynmallon/cwk_ka6/overview
UPDATE 3/11/2011
Added the wifi fix by cmenard.
bumped the ram from stock 311mb to 331mb, though honestly I don't see a difference even using 340-350mb versions.
Done with this, if you want updates, use a kernel by cmenard, morfic, ttabbal, etc., I'm tired of the unrelenting mudslinging that goes on here.
UPDATE 3/7/2011
Source code link added, and I'm officially abandoning this kernel and WILL NOT be updating it again, so thanks for making android not fun again.
UPDATE 2/27/2011
Removed the "FROST" specific link since FROST now works with all standard 2.2 kernels.
Added a third version of test 2 with the blue "bee" honeycomb bootscreen since it was requested. Same kernel config.
Added a fourth version of test 2 with inverted black and white bootscreen since it was requested. Same kernel config.
UPDATE 2/23/2011
Changed thread title to be a bit more informative about what this kernel is. No changes to the kernel.
UPDATE 2/22/2011
Updated zip to include the liblights file for backlight notifications.
Added a second version of test 2, identical in every way except for color "Google" bootscreen.
One quick word of warning (thanks to morfic for pointing this out): don't set a profile with a MAX frequency lower than 800mhz, since that's the default frequency samsung uses to enter/exit sleep.
See Camalot's thread here for how to enable CIFS support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890730
Renamed download to use old naming convention, will probably end up changing this again in the future.
I've had reports of audio being fine in this build (and it sounds fine for me) so if anyone is still having audio issues, please post in the thread, else I'm going to update the bug to "fixed" by the end of the day without any changes.
Added a colored version of the boot jpeg for use with connexion2005's /lfs tutorial, might build a kernel with color logo later.
UPDATE 2/21/2011
fixed sleep issue (at least for me: 45mins unplugged, only 4 minutes without sleeping)
added voodoo color (I think, I'm not sure how to even test this)
added CIFS support (someone in TW Irc asked for this, I honestly don't even remember who anymore)
have no idea about the sound bug, I'm not even sure I actually hear it, so somebody please let me know.
removed the hardware liblights file from the zip, will make a second version with the file if enough people ask for it
tons of pulling my hair out and stupid noob questions
ooh nice jocelyn. will try it out.
I am gonna try this just for fun! Thanks for all your work. Jocy, are you on twitter?

Love the idea of an almost-stock kernel with Voodoo sound. I hope you do go through with the idea to add voltage control for UV only (my phone takes it really well, and it seems to help battery life a lot for me), but I'm going to give this a whirl anyway, since all the current Voodoo Sound kernels give me mediocre battery life.
