Theoretically you could, but for whatever reason sometimes replacing stock files with custom ones (like stock kernel with a custom one) can cause problems.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
do you mean that it causes problems when you replace it inside the tar, or if you replace the stock kernel at all?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
If you place it inside the tar and flash it with the stock ROM
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
ok, but it should be good if i flash the stock tar, then flash this kernel? just tried that (flashed stock in odin, rebooted straight into download and flashed this kernel tar in pda slot) and it wouldnt go past the att screen. it applied the lagfix, or at least i heard the voice go through all the normal steps, but it wouldnt ever go past the att screen. any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I suggest letting it fully boot between flashes. Unless you heard it say something like "Voodoo Lagfix is now activated" then it wasn't finished converting.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Hey Kyuta. I flashed teamhacksung's ICS Port over Illum, to try it out. I realized on the flash back, that it wasn't a wipe and install, so I Odined v1.4.3. I kinda forgot how I get into the sdcard to flash the rom stored in there:o What do I need to do?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm sorry I'm not fully understanding what the problem is. Are you not able to select "Install Zip from SD Card" or whatever the option is?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
It's all good. Thanks. I had to reflash the kernel again. I'm all set:p
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
stock kk4

Kyuta,

I see in your signature that you are using KK4 stock. Where can I get a copy of a stock KK4 ROM for a Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
There's a thread on it. On my phone right now so I can't get a link for you. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
I found it, Thanks. :D
[Captivate Android Development] jcylcruzin:
Hi Kyuta, I'm a noob and upon some suggestions have applied your kernel. Thank you so much, it is working real well for me! However, I think I am supposed to revert back to RFS whenever I try to update future gingerbread stock roms from this source

http://www.attdroids.com/forum/sams...-gingerbread-now-kk4-gingerbread-2-3-5-a.html

How would I do so in case I should need to? Your help is much appreciated -thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] gbalwing:
Hey I bricked my phone tryin to flash this using odin 1.81. Did I do something wrong? Im coming from Stock KK4 gb. Any ideas to get back into download mode? I tried everything on the download thread. This sucks..phoneless for the new yr!

Edit: so at this point once i get my phone back in download mode, what shall i do? do i flash GB rom with or without bootloaders? or continue to flash the kernel? Please help!!
[Captivate Android Development] blutruck:
Flash with out bootloaders. If you were on a stock GB rom you should have the bootloaders installed already. Do you have a jig? It's saved my butt many times. You can also make one with 3 100K ohm resistors in series. There is a thread in the captivate forum that has instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
There's three ways you should be able to revert back to RFS.

Recovery -> Voodoo -> Disable Lagfix and System as RFS (granted if you disable lagfix then it should revert all partitions including system)

Via the Voodoo Control App (will need to reboot)

Adding "disable-lagfix" and "system-as-rfs" files to /sdcard/Voodoo and rebooting

If it happened while flashing just the kernel then you should only need to reflash the kernel. As suggesting I recommend getting or making a JIG in case you brick again.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well just wanted to post an update to all those eagerly awaiting a source built Samurai. Since I couldn't get the kernel to boot (would hang on the kernel logo) I decided to just compile the stock kernel which decided to bootloop. I think it has something to do with the kernel not seeing the partitions. That's the error I was getting in the Voodoo init logs. Once I figure out that issue I should be good to go.

*edit* Ok I was a dumbarse and forgot to point it to the initramfs. After doing that though the stock KK4 just hangs like Samurai...
[Captivate Android Development] DavidErb1980:
Will this kernel support voodoo sound and color in the near future?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I any new 1.4.X that I put out shouldn't be a problem. If I ever get 1.5.0 working though it might require you to revert back to RFS or risk losing user data. Will provide more info if I ever get the kernel to work.

If I ever get it working 1.5.0 will support voodoo color with Nexus S frame buffer like existz's Talon Kernel. Voodoo Sound, if you really want it badly, you can get the paid Voodoo Control app for that. However 1.5.0 will natively support it. As well as BLN.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
I would be doing it if I could figure things out. I got far in the process but then got confused, so I gave up for awhile :/... Will be going at it soon I hope!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well I can get the kernel to compile, but when the pre-samsung init scripts try to mount any of the partitions I get a Device does not exist error... and the phone stays on the kernel logo.
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Same thing happened to me after my initial builds. The first two worked fine but I can't figure out which config options I had changed around that worked.

I was trying to get bln working and for some reason it hosed me and just kept looping so I did a make clean and after that I couldn't get it to boot anymore.

I don't know maybe it was a fluke that it ever built correctly in the first place. I'm still going to slowly pull pieces if talons github til I figure out which pieces of the puzzle are messed up. I know his config is slightly different for the captivate then how the default defconfig is for kk4 including slight changes to file system config, I can't remember offhand if it was mount options though its been about a week since I ran diffs on them.

I know eventually that if we pull the right source pieces from talon it should work and I think the best starting point would be with all the filesystem related parts but really it could possibly be a broken piece of code or something they forgot to define among many other things.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
At the very least I figured out why my kernel logo wasn't showing up properly. It was the wrong size... I've decided to take a break from trying to figure this thing out else it might just drive me crazy... Trying to get the LCD Screen on my laptop replaced so I can use it again. Once I do I might attempt to compile on it and see if it provides any better luck.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
Just thought I'd give this a bump cause my dev skills are crap and its best when I sit on the sidelines and say "go team!"
[Captivate Android Development] :
<-- FIXED -->

I have kk4 on my captivate and the samurai 1.4.3 kernel installed but I'm having issues with root. I can run any app that requires root as long as it is on the phone but any external apps that require root and adb don't find root. Android commander etc.

<-- NOT FIXED -->

Also, I immediately started to get messages about tethermanager force closing. Any ideas? It's a clean rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm guessing you figured out how to get root, but if not you should just need to download the Superuser app from the Market. As for the tethermanager force closing I'm not really sure. Did it start happening as soon as you flashed Samurai? You don't really need it though so you could just uninstall or freeze it using Tibu.
[Captivate Android Development] jcylcruzin:
Hi Kyuta Syuko, just wanted to say thank you for the information. I think I can do an update when one comes out now. Again, thank you for all the help and appreciate all your hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] jcylcruzin:
Hi Kyuta Syuko, it looks like Samsung released an official I897 Gingerbread rom based on the KK4 leak. I would like to know if your kernel will work with that? Or if not will you re-work one that would? I really enjoy the lagfix and cwm that comes with your version!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I don't see any reason it wouldn't.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
The app will FC a few times, does it to anyone upgrading from 2.2 on Kies Mini.

Works great zero issues so far. Just wish we could get some BLN action. :D
[Captivate Android Development] jcylcruzin:
Thanks!.. Also, would you mind checking out this link and let me know if that will return my phone to captivate stock Eclair? Maybe you could recommend a link that get's me back to stock Froyo? I want to try updating to the "official" gingerbread and then loading your kernel onto that. But mini kies doesn't let me until I revert back to stock Froyo or possibly Eclair?

/\ What he said.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
if i reboot into recovery directly after flashing this kernel using odin, will it still switch over to ext4 first? i know that if you boot normally then it automatically switches on first boot, but i want to stay on rfs, and would prefer to skip having to switch back to rfs if i can. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm not 100% sure as I haven't taken a detailed look through all the scripts, but if you want to make sure you don't switch just make a /sdcard/Voodoo folder and place a disable-lagfix file in it.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
i might do that, but i usually clear everything, including the sdcard, before i flash, so i was hoping someone would know if it does or not. thanks though!
[Captivate Android Development] NiTRoN69:
Some kernels come with custom CWM which have toggle options for the lagfix. Reboot back into recovery after flashing and see if this one has it. Sorry I run different kernel so I can't say for sure.

Posted using Mobile App on Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
It does as I personally think it'd be silly to have the option to switch between RFS and EXT4 with no easy way to do it outside downloading the app, but that's just me. He was asking if it would convert to EXT4 upon first boot regardless if he was doing a normal boot or booting into recovery. I unfortunately haven't really had time to do anything with my kernel lately (though thanks to mtcarey I have an idea on how to get the kernel from source to work) and won't have much, if any time to do so due to lots of over time at work and SWTOR =x but mostly OT at work.

*edit*

I'm actually hoping mtcarey releases his source after he's cleaned it up and optimizes it for our phones.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
so i guess i didnt catch if it will switch it to ext4 before i boot into the recovery? i see that you understood my question, but i didnt see the answer =/
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I want to say it will regardless, but like I said I'm not 100% sure at the moment. I'll have to boot into Ubuntu (currently in Windows since I've been playing SWTOR) to get your answer which I'll try to do tomorrow. Have to work OT all week this week and next so I'm much too tired to do so now...
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
ahhh, ok, i understand. and dont worry, theres no rush =P as a fellow gamer, i would never ask you to quit playing!
[Captivate Android Development] jcylcruzin:
Ok... bit of a noob question, but how much memory did lagfix use up? and where/how can I see that from the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] :
What? The lagfix changes your file system to EXT4 instead of RFS.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well I just took a look at the scripts and it doesn't look like it'd convert to ext4 if you boot into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] jcylcruzin:
But I read somewhere that the voodoo lagfix will use up some internal memory to enable the ext4 filing system... doesn't it?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
It uses space on the internel card to back stuff up (which are removed when conversion is done), some residue files get left in the /voodoo folder (small files most maybe a few kb in size though I'm thinking about creating a cleanup script to clean it up), and it creates logs in the /sdcard/Voodoo folder, but other then that it doesn't take up any space.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Just applied a fix so that everyone should see whatever bootanimation.zip they're using rather then a simple Android animation. No need to reflash if you don't care about the custom boot animation or bootanimation.zip is playing properly for you.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
been running the kernel the past few days and i want to ty for your hard work and effort. i havent seen u around the forums but ill never forget your name!!!:D:D:D

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
So true. Guess I'll dub the latest one 1.0 since it's now working the way I originally intended it to, but I need a name for the kernel first...

Was going to make some CWM versions over the weekend that would also root the phone so there would be no need to flash twice, but thanks for throwing these together.

When was the last time you downloaded and flashed the kernel? I put up a fix that fixes that issue late last night.

mmm... yesterday afternoon... I suposed that i already got that update. That got to be it... I'll try it as soon as i get home! Thanks again. Great, great work.
[Captivate Android Development] afrojoc:
ah so i felt like the lagfix wasnt doing anything so i read somewhere that to turn it off put a "disable lagfix" file into your voodoo folder and apparently i had done that a long while ago. i just reflashed it and the lady started talking to me. is that confirmation that it installed correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] AnarchoXen:
Installed over KI2 Fasty III V1.3 and works a peach. (OC to 1.2)

Also using the KH3 modem so I got a mix of all types.

Thanks a lot.

PS

No chipmunks either...
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
did the lady tell you:

lagfix conversion complete?

if she said anything that was the last thing she said...

so yes.

or just use voodoo control app to enable/disable
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
How about using a little play on your screen name (it is Japanese)?...'Katana kernel' or 'Samurai kernel'
[Captivate Android Development] BitteredBro:
Thanks, that was it. I didnt have the last update. Everything working right now.

Now a couple of questions: what is left to do with this kernel to be like Talon? NANdroid backup, BLN, Voodoo color, OC? Its really necessary to have source to accomplish that?

With all you, Boog and MTcarey have done, doesnt seem that necesary to me.

What do you think about it?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm still fairly new to all this so I've still got some researching to do, but from what I've found so far it looks like source is needed to properly implement Voodoo Color, BLN, and OC. Though since there's an app available on the market that will allow OC I wouldn't be surprised if there was a way to bake in OC w/o source. I don't know much about Nandroid so I can't make much comment on that.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:

[Captivate Android Development] q659503934:
is the newest version with the lagfix control in the recovery mode?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
No. Was originally going to use the I9000 Voodoo kernel recovery since it's the closest to what I want, but I had to wait a few seconds to get that message about the back button being enabled before I could do anything and the buttons are mapped differently (Home is enter and power is back). So I figured that'd be too much of a change and most people probably wouldn't like it since it's not what they're used to.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Just wondering... Why is it that Captivate kernels all lack Voodoo sound?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I was under the impression that it required source, but I'll be researching it this weekend to see how true it is and trying to add it in if I can.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Voodoo sound is the main reason why I'm forced to use I9000 ROMs and kernels. Can't live without it!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
i miss the sound with a passion too.

the voodoo control app has the option of loading the driver if it is not IN the kernel.

but the kernel must support the driver being loaded.....

might want to research that and see if you can let the driver be loaded....
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
If you buy the donate version you only need root, the kernel does not have to support it

Currently Fusionized
[Captivate Android Development] blutruck:
+1 Just purchased the app form the market. I connect my phone to my car stereo to play music. Without the app it would not be loud enough to hear. Well worth the money even if voodoo sound is included in the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] drdays:
It seems I'm doing something wrong. Anytime I flash the kernel it gets into a bootloop and the lady keeps saying: convert data partition > backup operation > restore operation > voodoo lagfix is now activated

But it only ends up in another loop.

this is my setup before flashing the kernel:

Device: Samsung Captivate SGH-i897 (Build 1009)

ROM: Stock KJ3, Rooted

Kernel: Boog KJ3

Launcher: TW 3.0, ICS Launcher

Modem: KJ3

Theme: Stock

[Captivate Android Development] getinlost:
For some reason with dragon 1.0 my phone won't charge while off.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm not entirely sure how that will react due to the various governor tweaks, but if you flash it and it doesn't work out you should be able to adb shell into your phone as root and delete it.

That was a misname which I fixed last night before bed, but that's not important. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would affect the phone being able to recharge while off. Since you said Dragon I'm going to guess you flashed one of the CWM flashable zips since those were the ones misnamed. Did you flash the one with or without root?

*edit* What does your phone do when you plug it in? Does the charging animation come on or does it just stay a black screen?
[Captivate Android Development] BitteredBro:
Hi, Kyuta.

I got an issue charging too, but mine id different. The phone turns on when when I connect the charger. No big deal, but maybe you want to take a look there.

Sounds more like a faulty cable to me or just the way you plugged it in. Does this happen every time?

Can anyone else verify any kind of issues with plugging their charging cable into their phone while it's off?
[Captivate Android Development] BitteredBro:
Yes, everytime. Dont know about the cable. It works ok to data transfer. This thing happened to me before, back in the day of my kaiser using CM 6. Its no big deal.

[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
THis seems like a great kernel NO it is a great kernel but why all the extra flashing and scripting cant these things be done in an easier way? like using a prerooted kernel w/CWM that automatically converts to ext4? Just sayin
[Captivate Android Development] RMGeren:
That's a common issue with custom kernels. Mine did that on CM7, so I just leave it on and turned upside down at night.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm not sure what you mean. There are three separate files which you only need to flash one of and a fourth if you flashed via Odin/Heimdall and want root. Though I might add the su binary to my kernel and have the user just download the Superuser.apk from the market.

All three packages have CWM and auto convert to EXT4 during the first boot.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
When I plug in my wall charger, I only get the battery pic that is filled to the current charge level. After several seconds, the screen goes black.

I am running TRusselo's ATT KJ3 stock with a few of CRT60 addins.

It did convert to EXT4 automatically after flashing this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] phrix626:
That is normal. If you press the power button when the screen goes black, it will show the charging progress.
