Works fine here as well. Had to use the Dolphin Browser HD (Stock kk4 browser wouldn't download ??). I downloaded the v6.01 Corn Kernel from the OP and the default download folder was already /sdcard/download. Rebooted to CWM Recovery and navigated to install it all the way through the download folder with no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] mfdemicco:
OK, must not have had any zips in there. Where does the XDA App put its downloads?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I've always put the zips in /sdcard myself because I read somewhere it wouldn't work otherwise...

[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
/sdcard or any sub-directories, including external_sd.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Works fine here as well.
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
Just tested this, when download was empty it did what you explained, I downloaded a .zip and it worked as it should.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
mtcarey,

Make I request a tweak to your next Kernel update... Your Kernel supports bootanimation sound files (PowerOn.wav). But, they don't come on until the last 2 to 3 seconds of the boot process, so most of the sound file is missed. If the PowerOn.wav process can be started at the beginning of the bootanimation would really be awesome.

I understand that the bootanimation and the PowerOn.wav will never be in sync. But if it could just come on earlier...

Thanks, Really. :D
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
mtcarey,

Just wanted to stop by and let u know that I really appreciate the work that u have done here and continue to do. Much appreciated !!

Battery Life

Hi,

I have been running Samurai kernel for a while and I don't seem to be getting very good battery life. Would I get better battery life by switching to Corn kernel?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I haven't compared them for battery life, so I really couldn't tell you. :o Anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
6.02

Working well with Fasty KK4!!

Thanks :D
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
Lot's of things come in to play with battery life, but my personal experience with this kernel has been very good for the battery life on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
Not speaking ill of the Samurai kernel (cause it’s a great kernel as well), however for me, Corn kernel has given me the best battery life of any Gingerbread kernel I have used. I get about 48 hours between charges with light to moderate use.

But remember, as nizbot stated, alot comes in to play with battery life.

Can’t thank mtcarey enough for sharing his work.

[Captivate Android Development] xTRUEx:
just curious, where do u guys find the bootanimations that this kernel suppports?
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
it supports all boot animations I think there are some in the themes and apps. I get most of mine on the samsung fascinate themes and apps forum. they have alot to choose from
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
That's about what I get (when I'm not continually flashing to test new versions).
[Captivate Android Development] drewbag:
Thanks for all your input. I'll give this kernel a try. I'll be running it with Serenity RC 6.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
It wouldn't surprise me if the average person got more battery life from Corn then Samurai as I think Corn's tweaks are geared more towards better battery life and maybe better multitasking while I've tried to make Samurai's tweaks geared more towards better performance when playing games or watching videos, and I'm still learning what all the various tweaks do and what different values for each tweak will do.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
The default for Corn is no tweaks at all... just whatever values Samsung put in init.rc. I have to confess, however, that the latest version contains oom_adj, memory threshold, and lmk settings from the SGS2 init.rc... with every leaked I897 Kxx version that has been released I've noticed the same errors persisting in the init.rc files. I've come to the conclusion that Samsung is not paying a lot of attention to the Captivate these days and that the SGS2 settings are probably are better indication of what's "stock".
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ That's good info (i have wondered what the "default" setup was but never asked)...Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Errors? What kind of errors? I've not really paid much attention, not that I would know there was an error...

I don't know what the stock SGSII settings are (didn't really pay much attention to them when I was browsing your kernel earlier) but the stock Captivate LMK settings are better for Multitasking then mine.
[Captivate Android Development] mfdemicco:
Doesn't Corn come standard with zipalign and sqlite optimization tweaks? I always get the S08-zipalign-apks-sc and S50-vacuum-databases-sc files installed in my init.d folder when I flash Corn. I delete them because the Thunderbolt tweaks I use perform these same functions.

BTW, I really like your concept of allowing the user to have a choice of what tweaks to install, or have the flexibility to install their own tweaks (such as Thunderbolt). Plus the CWM recovery functions and working Nandroid backup makes Corn the best kernel for the Captivate for my usage (IMHO) (no offense to the other kernel devs).

I would like a selection of more governors, like the I9000 kernels have (such as SmartassV2), but I imagine that's not possible with the Captivate kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm still waiting for mtcarey to perfect and release the source for his recovery.

As for the governors, not possible without source else mine would have SmartAssV2 at the very least.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Several that have been present in init.rc since KHx and maybe before. For example, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is missing /system/lib/egl; symlinks /system/etc -> /etc and /system/vendor -> /vendor are created before /system is even mounted, then created again later; oom_adj ro.CONTENT_PROVIDER_MEM 14 is not an oom adjustment or a valid value - should be CONTENT_PROVIDER_ADJ 4; etc., etc. You should go through the *.rc files line by line and check them out.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
When I say tweaks I'm generally referring to things "baked-in" like kernel settings, etc. The two init.d scripts I include I consider more like "housekeeping" chores and, of course, they can be removed if you don't want them. More governors require source code we don't have. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Maybe I should :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
For some reason I can't see my picture from galery when Its on my sd card but when its on my ext card the phone can detect it any Idea?
[Captivate Android Development] Archpope:
Try clearing data on the Gallery app. If that doesn't work, install Quickpic.
[Captivate Android Development] BloodSkin:
love your work. its the only kernel that i put in my AIO tool.

anyone know how to change the kernal splash image? its the only one i have left to change to fully remove all traces of AT&T from the software.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I believe it isn't possible until source drops.
[Captivate Android Development] BloodSkin:
i thought boog managed to do it?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If it does it's news to me. But I remember reading it was source related. Again I'm no dev so I could be totally wrong lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
I lost root after converting to EXT4. Any way of getting it back without having to reflash the entire Illuminance rom?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Kernel has the option to install root in cwm. There is a subseccion named "Install Root/Extras".
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
Sorry I forgot to mention that I tried that and it didn't fix the problem but I used the One-click root program.
[Captivate Android Development] liquidzyklon:
I have similar issue. After phone boots up, all media files (i.e. photos and MP3s) are not scanned properly through Media Scan. I've tried re-running media scan, rebooting, used Gallery and QuickPic, and two different music players. All don't show the files in the programs. However, when navigating through the My Files on the /sdcard folder, I see the files and they exist.
[Captivate Android Development] acras:
I have the same problem with media files as well as with cyrillic folder and files names.
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Check to make sure there isn't a ". nomedia" file preventing the scan.

You can check with Root Exprorer or there is a free app in the Market that will do this.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Without the kernel source, the only way to do it is to flash a custom param.lfs. There's a thread about that around here somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
If you're talking about your external sd card, you might want to try moving some files to either your internal sd card or a PC if you have a micro sd adapter, then move them back. Visa versa for the internal sd card. Reboot, and see if they show up in gallery / music player. You might have a corrupted file allocation table.
[Captivate Android Development] liquidzyklon:
1) The folders do not have "*.nomedia" in them because these folders worked fine in Corn Kernel 6.01.

2) I am talking about Internel SDcard. The files show up properly and work in Corn 6.01. But after flashing 6.02, they don't show up in QuickPic/Gallery, MIUI Player, Samsung music player. I can view the files through My Files / ES File Explorer and get them to show up or play. They don't load in their correct programs. Flashing back to 6.01 works again. So I don't suspect a corrupted file allocation table or I can't get it back to working.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
If you don't mind, try flashing this version and let me know how it goes:

DOWNLOAD ODIN VERSION HERE

DOWNLOAD CWM ZIP VERSION HERE
[Captivate Android Development] liquidzyklon:
Works great now. Fast fix. Thanks!

Now to test run this kernel for a few days without rebooting or flashing. :p
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Weird. I just removed most of the standard vfat mount options and let the kernel itself figure it out. Even stranger, the problem has never happened to me. I guess a new version is on its way.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
That will only allow you to change the initial (very first) boot screen. Not the kernel boot screen.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Had same problem with 6.2. Gallery not seeing all files. Upgraded to 6.3, all is well again, thanks MT :-)
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
would it be ok to replace the stock kk4 kernel with this one inside the stock tar and then flash that using odin? i want stock kk4 with a cwm kernel, and im just trying to make it so its all done in one easy step.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Yes, you can. You can also root it from Recovery if you want.

I decided to play around with symlinks on my computer since presumably it'd work the same on Android. Anyways I made a symlink to a directory that didn't exist yet and then I made the directory and it worked just fine. Just thought you'd be interested in knowing that little tidbit.

Also wouldn't /system/lib/egl be covered with /system/lib?
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
I had this problem when installing Fasty III 1.2 from stock-rooted UCKI2. It would go through the entire process and complete. I would reboot and it would still be the old ROM. I had to reflash UKB1 and then load Fasty III 1.2. Worked great that way.
[Captivate Android Development] jjbarisax:
I installed UCKJ2 with the bootloaders that came with it

- went to download mode and installed FUGU root

- rebooted to download with a usb jig

- installed CornKernel with ext4 support (great job, Quadrant of about 2100)

- reinstalled Voodoo Pro from the Market ( I am a proud owner of this package)

This kernel rocks with UCKJ2 - Great job
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
installed fugu, saw the fish, odin back to the corn kernel, still no root
[Captivate Android Development] jjbarisax:
Did you wait until it powered off? I'm not sure how many versions of fugu there are, but I used zImage-root.tar.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
yea i did. i tried everything. got sick of messing with it and am trying this kj2 back on rfs. o well. i might try again another time. thanks for the help
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
Okay...so I am running Fasty III v.1 KJ1...would anyone know IF this kernel will work?

I can confirm it working on fasty III v1.2 KJ2 rom as well. Smooth as butter, good work.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
I inluded it on the new release.

However i noticed that this kernel might give you problems (after installing it) when wanting to install something else after it.
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
Funny, you say that. I installed this Kernel on Pinnacle 1.3 with the KI2 modem and it was working fine. The first time it booted... it ran the Voodoo installation process while in the AT&T logo. It did not show the step by step CLI of the Voodoo installation process on the screen that I have seen before, but the Chipmunk voice assured me that the process was running. At the end it rebooted with no apparent problems. I rebooted a couple times, installed apps, rebooted again and it continued to work with better performance with Voodooo. I booted to Recovery once and noticed that it had CWM Dark Core 3.0.2.8 not the CWM 4.0.1.5 (Orange) that I had with previous kernels. Then I decided that I wanted to test the KJ2 modem and for that I needed to reboot again into Recovery to flash it... but this time I do not get the Recovery menu as it gets stuck in the AT&T logo. After a while I removed and reinstalled the battery, but the phone, but the won't boot . Now the phone is stuck in the AT&T logo no matter what. Why couldn't I leave good enough alone!!!

I figure I put the phone in download mode and Odin the same Kernel again because it supports Voodoo. I start Odin v1.81, hold the Vol+ & Vol- and insert the USB cable, the phone shows the little yellow guy with the shovel (download mode), I get double clank sound (not connected sound?) from the computer and nothing shows up in Odin.

I guess my questions are... can or should I re-install the same kernel? Am I using the right version of Odin? The one I currently have does not show the [Android + SLP] on the top bar, but it is the only version I currently have. Shouldn't it be Odin3... which version of Odin should I download? The laptop has version 5.02.0.2 of the USB driver. Is there any other tool I can use to get the phone to boot again? Sorry to sound desperate, but I'm away from home with my work laptop not my personal laptop. I know, I know... I should have waited until I got back home.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Reboot your computer and phone. Try a different USB port. If Odin see your phone, try the same kernel. If it works and you want to try another kernel, you will have to disable voodoo lagfix.

I have this running on CRT60 ROM with no problems. It was not made for Pinnacle. Boog has one made for it if you wanted lagfix.

And to answer you question of "Why couldn't I leave good enough alone!!!", many of us have asked the same at some time but always continue to tweak :)
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
Go it to boot again, but don't ask me exactly how I did it. After trying to connect with Odin, I decided to connect the phone via usb without starting Odin or putting the phone in download mode. Phone stuck in AT&T logo. The computer started to re-install the drivers and just before the process finished the phone started to boot. Happy camper here. Only issue was that after it booted for the first time the battery went down to 6%. I then rebooted the phone and the levels went back to 67% which is the approximate amount of charge I expected.

Btw, you mentioned that there is a Boog's Kernel with lagfix that's compatible with Pinnacle 1.3. Can you point me to this specific kernel?... Or to any new Kernel with Voodoo lagfix that's compatible. Maybe I'm confused, but I thought CornKernel was the only "recent" Kernel with Voodoo lagfix that was compatible with Pinnacle 1.3. Lately there seems to be a new modem, kernel or ROM every day... It's difficult to keep up with the latest and greatest.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I realize that symlinks can go "live" after the underlying base object is created, but why would you do it twice? And no, the Path environment variable is not recursive.

By the way, when I said "errors" in init.rc I was talking about sloppy stuff that has never been cleaned-up. Obviously they don't "break" anything or else nobody's kernel would boot!
[Captivate Android Development] SunnyOK:
Thank you for the kernel. I like it.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Cool... glad you like it!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Ah ok and I was looking through and I didn't see where they were creating the symlinks twice. Might have over looked it though since I was just kind of browsing since Johnsondr80 asked me to work on a project for him.

What do you think would cause CWM Recovery to scroll uncontrollably?

*edit*

Ok so it's not 100% uncontrollable. John says he can tilt the phone to make it slow down and even scroll the other direction. I'm guessing it's because I built it from the CM sources using the captivatemtd environment and he's using a different phone...
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
What're you guys finding the best tweaks to use are? via cwm
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
question i have install the latest pikachu tweaks was wondering which zipalign script should i keep the thunderbolt zipalign or the the corn zipalign?
[Captivate Android Development] Archpope:
I can't believe how much faster 6.03 boots over 6.01. Normally it would play the entire sound file, and still take a few seconds after that before getting to the initial lock screen. Now, it goes "Bee-eee-eep. Your presence has b-" and it's booted.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I'm pretty sure they work the same way.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Great! I rearranged a few things and it seems to have paid off.
[Captivate Android Development] DRShockie:

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Recovery's the only way to know you at least have the Corn Kernel. No way to tell what version unless he puts it in the recovery some how.
[Captivate Android Development] planetdroid33:
Open recovery- go into tweaks and more-system information-about this kernel, there you will see the kernel version.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
A not-so-friendly way to find it is to look in /system/etc/cwm5sc/recovery.conf... kernel_version=xxxx

[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Just to be clear, is this what the devs have been waiting for in order to try to implement BLN and HSDPA on the 897 leaks? If the answer is yes, then why was this not tried with the 896 source that came out a while back?

[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Because there was something badly broken in the i896 source that seems to evade everyone.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Lets be clear. Our phones have HSDPA (High Speed Download Packet Access), it lacks HSUPA (High Speed Upload Packet Access). Achieving upload speeds + maintaining audience chip support has proven difficult on the I9000 mtcarey made. I could be totally off (I hope I am).
