I am stuck with a problem here. I flashed this kernel over Boog's with odexed stock KJ3 using CWM. When I had Boog's kernel, I had root with the su program installed. After first boot, all seemed well until I tried to use Voodoo Control and realized it couldn't get root. So I am away from my computer at the moment and thought I'd just go into CWM to reflash SU but it won't mount the SD card now. Now CWM can't see the SD at all. And I get little message lines beneath the blue text about a bunch of files and folders that can't be found or accessed on drive "E". So now I'm gonna have to wait till I get back home later this evening to reflash Boog's kernel.

It might just be a random issue, but if there's anyone out there flashing this via CWM over Boog's KJ3, you might want to have Odin close by just in case.

Create a FILE named "disable-lagfix" in /sdcard/Voodoo.

That's actually quite funny.. I came here to post the same thing. All of a sudden about halfway through the day my phone experienced lag and extreme battery drain. I just flashed 7.05 this morning and it was running like a dream until then! I wonder what went wrong..
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Check your app usage... sounds like you've got a "runaway".
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Sounds like you should re-flash your ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] tjp419:
Forgive me, I'm still learning, but how would I fix that if that's what the problem is? I'm assuming I would look under settings / applications / running services?
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
Hey guys got some questions about this kernal. I'm on illuminance rom with its default kernal. I have voodoo lagfix enabled. If I disable lagfix and installed this kernal would it work fine? Can I still covert to ext4 without wiping? How's bluetooth work on this kernal? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
Thanks! I had just re flashed the ROM a few days ago. Everything seemed to be running fine untill last night. I did reflash the ROM last night, so I will give it another go!

Another question: after doing a wipe/factory reset, there are still folders for apps that had been installed. Call it OCD but is there a way of cleaning that up that is quicker/easier than manually deleting them?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
What I like to do is; Type *2767*3855# from your key pad. This will perform a factory format, and does erase everything, even the stuff on your internal SDCard. Make sure you save any backups that you have because they will be lost.
[Captivate Android Development] Strugs:
+1 I'm having the same issue.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
This is weird. I cant get into my call logs and my phone force closes the app after a bit.

Edit: a reboot fixed it but it took about 15 seconds to get into the logs after pressing the tab.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Yesterday when I flashed 7.04, although there was no wifi, the 3g data seemed to be working really fast. The webpages and xda pages were loading really fast. After flashing 7.05, if I turn off wifi and use 3g, it seems to be a lot slower loading webpages. The same webpage at the same location.

Is this just some coincidence or something that if you turn off wifi in the kernel, it boosts the data connection?

I don't know whether anybody else had similar experience.
[Captivate Android Development] redeuxx:
Can someone link to the Odin download to use to flash these kernels?

Reporting instability with 7.05

Running FastyKK4 ROM. Runs OK with built-in kernel, v 6.03 likely. Once 7.05 installed random freezes followed by reboot happen during regular operation and when trying to charge.

Runs fine gain after reflashing FastyKK4 ROM.

No overclock, ext4 filesystem with journals.:confused:

If any debug info needed I can try to upload it - just don't remember the commands or files.

I appreciate compiling new kernel.

I had exactly the same symptoms.

:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
FWIW, flashing 7.05 on a Pinnacle 1.3 (on ext4 with 6.03, no tweaks or anything) rendered the phone unusable, it would boot but would FC on google framework services, no access to dialer or text messaging. Feflashing the rom did not help. Had to flash it back to stock, etc. Then flashed 7.05 again. Seems to be working ok, but reboots once or twice a day.
[Captivate Android Development] DKirk:
Thumbs Up!

This 7.05 kernel along with the SAUROM ROM have transformed my Captivate into the phone I always wanted. AMAZING battery life, I'm looking at 3 days between charges and stability/speed like I've never had before. For those of you with issues, keep trying to resolve them for this kernel is amazing.
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
I just DL'd Saurom KK4 this morning thinking that if the problems persisted with Illum, I would give it a try this weekend.

I am glad to hear a positive result!
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
Sorry for the n00b question, been away from my cappy for awhile. Can I flash this kernal with COG 5 V2 ?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Doubt it will work since Cog5 is KF1 2.3.3 and this is KK4 2.3.5 based.
[Captivate Android Development] DKirk:
The only change needed after installing is the ROM defaults to the old/dead SUPL settings for the GPS. Once you make the GPS changes, documented everywhere else, even it works very nicely now. Look for supl.google.com and port 7576 I believe it is. Sorry about the thread hijack, but it was Corn 7.x that really brought the ROM to life.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I believe that Pinnacle is KH3 based... off the top of my head I can't think of anything in it that would be incompatible, but it sounds like something is. There have been at least 6 ROM / kernel releases since then.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
This kernel is the best thing that has happened for the captivate. It has transformed the captivate into a diffrerent phone. Everything is running great. I am on TRusselo's stock kk4 (rooted, deodexed).

The only issues I had initially were myself to blame, because I used some apps for some extra tweaks. But after I 'cleaned up' everything, did a fresh flash, everything is running perfectly now. I have so far not come across any problem - no freezes, no random reboots etc

Thanks once again mtcarey for all your hard work to give this ROM to us.
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
That's the rom I ended up with (after rebuilding the phone completely following the flash of 7.05 which made the phone unusable).

Eventually flashed 7.05 on it again, seems to be working fast and smooth, but still reboots once or twice a day...
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
mtcarey, you really nailed this release. Thank you thank you thank you :D
[Captivate Android Development] aguila88psi:
I was having issues as well, just reflashed the saurom with a wipe, flashed the 7.05 kernel, reboot to recover and reflashed the 7.05 kernel. Seems to be very stable now.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
What I did was a factory reset, boot into cwm, format data/cache, flashed the ROM, boot the phone, back to cwm, and flashed the kernel. Have had no problem whatsoever.
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
I'm on the final version of Serenity (KK4) with Corn 7.05 - very very stable, good battery life, nothing but good things to say about the developers of both.

Thanks for your work on this!!
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
Hmm, had random shutdown on 7.05 kernel.. Maybe releated, and also had today very big drain... but here it's -15C, so this might be the case...
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
Please report your findings... I'd like to hear more testimonials from folks switching from Illuminance 3.01 and Corn 7.05 to Saurom with Corn 7.05. I have re-flashed Illuminance a couple times, but it has not solved some recurring issues. I've been waiting for an update for Illuminance before I re-flash it again, but an update has not materialized. Looking to try something else.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Random re-boots...

For those who are experiencing re-boots or other problems, please add some information so that I can try to zero in on the possible cause(s). Specifically, I need to know:

- ROM you are using

- Whether or not you are using Thunderbolt or any other "tweaks". Check in /system/etc/init.d folder and /system/etc/sysctl.conf file.

- What you were doing with the phone when it happened (running app, sleeping, charging etc.)

- Scaling governor you are using

- I/O scheduler you are using

- 1200 mhz overclock on?

- 3g or Wifi?

- RFS or Ext4?

- Original battery or replacement?

- Any uncommon or specialty background apps / widgets running (3rd-party sms and/or email, sports scores, "battery savers", stock quotes, etc.)

As a point of reference, I have never had a re-boot with any version of this kernel on any ROM. I'm pretty sure AT&T didn't send me a "special" phone, so the implication is that you have an app and / or leftover tweaks that are causing the problem, or that you have hardware issues that appear when the phone is pushed beyond the narrow parameters of the stock kernel. Since nobody wants to think they have hardware problems, please be thorough in checking what's running in the background and also looking for init.d scripts that were left behind by other kernels. Don't assume anything... I just checked my init.d folder and found four (harmless in this case) scripts left over from ROM flashes that I didn't know were there!

Thanks!

I've recently been experiencing random shut Downs/restarts... here are my cappy stats:

SauROM kk4

Corn 7.05 (though just flashed back to 7.01, and still doing it but not as freq, noticed a Huge diff in batt usage too)

SmartassV2

Sio

Ext4

Both 3g and wifi

No tweak inj

all misc toggles enabled except BLN

1200 oc enabled

Happens when using default browser and has also happened when coming out of screen off, using captivate keep alive so no sleep mode
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
I would have to relate those problems back to the ROM as I am running the exact config on my phone (to a T) with the exception of running Ilum 3.01 instead of SauROM. Great battery and lag <5% of the time!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
What is "captivate keep alive"? Sounds like a potential problem right there.
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
I am running saurom with settings identical to yours with the exception of one toggle, block i/o optimization = off. other than that it should be the same. I have not had 1 shutdown, no lag, battery is OK and the phone is smoother and more stable then it has ever been. I have been running saurom for about 2 + weeks and flashed the kernals when they were released. I have only cleared cache and dalvik before flashing kernal. Battery usage should be better on 7.01 I think due to no voodoo?
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.bluesteel.cka&hl=en

Guess its an app that attempts to stop sleep deaths in the early cappy models.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Whoa! I would definitely not use this... totally unnecessary and probably interferes with the scaling governor. For instance, the smartass governor expects to go to sleep under certain conditions. This could lead to a tug of war between them, rapid battery drain, and finally a kernel panic / reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Never had a shutdown myself either, even with all my "experimental" mods to the source. I suspect most shutdowns are due to either misbehaving apps / scripts, or possibly batteries that are approaching the end of their lives.
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
...and I guess I spoke too soon, just had two reboots within probably 45 minutes while on the phone, this has never happened with this phone on any rom or kernel. I am not sure where to start to figure out what the problem is/was but need to retrace my tracks to see what I have done in the last few days that may cause instabilities. All apps on the phone are ones that I have been using for a long time, in fact there are not too many at all. I think the only recently added app is rom toolkit and the only thing I have used it for was to make some startup apps that I don't use not start.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I am looking into something that's been happening to me recently (on 7.05)... during long conversations on the phone the other party periodically tells me I am fading out, then all is fine after a few moments. My gut tells me it's something in the kernel. Will investigate.
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
And it was on a long conversation... first time it happened but nonetheless it happened. Off of it now and just went into recovery and checked settings and they were as I set them, will look into other things as well. Thanks for all you do, it impresses the crap out of me.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
I have had several phone calls today, each 20+ minutes. However, no one reported anything like what you experienced. In fact, one even commented on how good the call quality was.

Maybe just cell towers acting funky?

EDIT: Sorry.. spoke too soon -_-
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Damn... This kernel is so great in speed and battery life but i am still getting random shut downs. Everything default no oc etc.. Was only browsing my pics in quickpic and everything froze for about 10 seconds then phone shut down.

For the record I am running illum 3.01 just installed fresh 3 days ago. But this happened before as well on my old illum installation.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I should have a new version out tonight sometime... I've backed-out some of the more extreme performance tweaks in the hope of curing the reboots for some folks.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Spoke too soon? Did you have a problem after all?

I do want to quickly mention that I am very thankful for this kernel. Never has my phone run so fast, booted up so fast and this is with no oc. Thanks man!
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Does this mean for those who are not having problem, it won't be necessary for this new version or will there be other changes in the kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] planetdroid33:
I had a few apps that installed to sd card so i moved them to phone memory and reboots went away. My test phone that has only the rom and kernel has not shut down.
[Captivate Android Development] aznxprd:
I tried to install corn 7.05 on saurom kk4 around 3 times the other day, tried on both rfs and ext4 file systems, but everytime after i install the kernal after a full wipe install of the rom, i get a freeze on the bootscreen and my phone shuts off. anyone reason why this is happening? I know some people were able to get corn on saurom but i cant get it for the life of me!
[Captivate Android Development] planetdroid33:
If you are converting to ext4 it can take a while and go blank for a few minutes. Are you pulling the battery before it finishes.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
First boot after a wipe or partition conversion can take up to a minute or two, most of which time you just see a black screen. I'm trying to figure-out a way to display something other than a black screen during this delay, but in the meantime just be patient and give it some time.
[Captivate Android Development] aznxprd:
I actually gave it plenty of time, my phone literally shuts down as in while im charging the battery display comes up.
[Captivate Android Development] blutruck:
I had the same problem with 7.03 on my wife's cappy. It works wonderfully with 6.03. On Sauron ROM. No matter what I tried it wouldn't get past the kernel screen.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
I was finally able to install 7.05 on Saurom ROM a few days ago and it has been running great ever since. Prior to that I was on 6.03 and had tried 7.0x installs several times, all ending in boot loops. This time I used the following steps:

1. Reboot into Recovery and Nandroid backup.

2. Reboot.

3. Had been testing Supercharger V6 script. Ran it and Un-Supercharged. Then removed the script.

4. Deleted contents of init.d

5. Deleted the /system/etc/cwm5sc folder entirely.

6. Rebooted into Recovery and converted all partitions to RFS.

7. Rebooted - just to test for successful reboot. Success.

8. Rebooted back into Recovery. Cleared cache and dalvik cache.

9. Installed 7.05 cwm zip.

10. After install the reboot took a couple of minutes. NO bootloop.

11. Upon reboot got an FC on the Market app. No other startup apps FC'd. Went into Applications and cleared data on the Market app.

12. Rebooted.

13. Boot went quickly. No other FC's. Ran the phone about an hour. No problems.

14. Rebooted into Recovery.

15. Converted all partitions to EXT4.

16. Rebooted. No problems. Ran phone for several hours.

17. Rebooted into Recovery.

18. Injected syscorps.tweaks into init.rc

19. Rebooted. No problems.

Phone has been running great ever since. I don't know if the steps I went through had anything at all to do with the successful install, or if it was all dumb luck. Just throwing it out there if anyone that's had problems installing 7.05 on Saurom ROM is interested.

mtcarey - Thanks for you dedication and hard work! Helluva job!
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
I have around 30 apps installed and have not found any to be problematic, last night was the first time I have experienced any problem at all
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
I wondered about that because my issues only seemed to start after I negation to reinstall apps from the market. Maybe I need to format my micro sd...?
[Captivate Android Development] blutruck:
Thanks for the update. I haven't tried 7.05 on wife's cappy. I'm running it on my cappy and it is indeed a Super Happy Cappy. Runs smooth as butter! 2500+ Quadrant with no tweaks.
[Captivate Android Development] aznxprd:
hey blutruck, keep us updated on how this fix works for you too! I'm about to test this as soon as I have some free time to mess with my cappy :)
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
I had another reboot tonight, on the phone for about 45 minutes and it just restarted. Battery was at around 65% and tonight was the first time using att's microcell. Got back on the call and talked for about 30 minutes with no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Hey, I don't know if this helps your troubleshooting. Today i used Google search and and my phone shut down while searching. Now i had frozen the "browser" app (i use Opera and it wont search with that) so it fc'ed during the search and my phone shut down when the fc notice came up.

Irony was i was showing the different features of my phone to a friend at the time to get her to get an android over the iphone, i know i know my bad but i forgot i froze browser and even then it wouldn't crash the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I've posted 7.06 which "should" be more stable for those having problems. BTW, what does AT&T charge for the microcell access point? Seems like they ought to give it away!
[Captivate Android Development] JKelley103:
They are 99.99 I believe
[Captivate Android Development] eddalysse:
Flashed the new version this morning. I've been listening to music, browsing, texting and made a couple of calls. So far it's excellent, fast and stable. No reboots (never had them on previous versions btw)
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
Thanks for 7.06, flashed this morning and all went well, will see how it goes today!

At&t wanted $150 for it. We got it free due to a tower problem in this area, took about 3 months for them to finally give in and send it. The irony is that when you use it you use your plan minutes even though it is using your internet connection, to get unlimited mcell calling it is another $20/mo. It is working very well for calls but it has some strange issues that I have been reading about like going away from it in a call is OK, switches to tower, coming back has a hard time connecting to mcell (have to end the call and sometimes reboot). Battery drain was incredible yesterday, 4 hours off charge 100% to 58% never even looked at the phone as I was busy with other things. Cell standby was the big user. Anyway, turned off data and will just have to see how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] b0uncyfr0:
Anyone notice battery draining really fast with WiFi on 7.05? Ill try 7.06 and report back if its persistent.
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
Thank you for your hard work. Updated to 7.06 from 7.05 and now have browser freezes and reboots. Flashed back to 7.05.

One more question, is it possible to flash an extended power menu with this kernel on rooted stock? I don't really want to Rom it but miss that feature.

Thanks

Geeve
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
mtcarey, could you specify which settings, which can be modified or added via the recovery menu, were changed/removed in 7.06. I only experienced one or two reboots with 7.05, but noticed that performance in 7.06 is a little slower. When I touch an app icon on the launcher it gets highlighted right away, but then it takes up to three seconds to launch. This did not happen with 7.05

I still get a black screen that last ~30 sec after the Corn logo shows up when I boot up. I believed that you mentioned that you were trying to determined what was causing it... Is this something that was supposed to be fixed on this released?

Thanks... Great Kernel
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
No, not really. What apps do you have running?
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Just to let you know, I tried stock KK4 (rooted, debloated) with your 7.05, worked fine. Changed ROM to Legend 3.0 (no wipe) with a combination with your 7.06, been several hours, NO PROBLEM to report yet. Working superbly so far. Once again thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
im having random reboots on 7.05, will try 7.06 soon. here is my phones info:

- ROM you are using (stock kk4)

- Whether or not you are using Thunderbolt or any other "tweaks" (no)

- What you were doing with the phone when it happened (running app, sleeping, charging etc.) (random)

- Scaling governor you are using (smartassv2)

- I/O scheduler you are using (sio)

- 1200 mhz overclock on? (yes)

- 3g or Wifi? (both)

- RFS or Ext4? (ext4)

- Original battery or replacement? (original)

- Any uncommon or specialty background apps / widgets running (none)

also, i noticed that if you have bln enabled in the recovery menu, you dont need an app to make it work. i have it enabled, but not bln app, and it works fine with emails. is that how it is supposed to work? also, does that mean that enabling 1200 oc in the recovery menu turns it on, or do you need to turn it on in an app? thanks!
