TBH, your best bet is to back everything up and do a wipe. The old lagfixes don't like being removed, and they like to show their gratitude by corrupting the crap out of everything you have installed
[Captivate Android Development] domin8:
balls :( ok so just copy my pics to the comp, odin it and then start over fresh? sorry for the noobish questions, i take a week away from the site and i'm lightyears behind on the info
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Well if these are pictures you've taken with your phone camera they should be saved on the internal sd in a folder called DCIM. Nothing in /sdcard will be touched in an Odin flash. What will be lost is apps and things you've installed
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I asked this in the SRE thread (sorry, not trying to bring up the past, ;)) and got an answer, but figured I'd post here to try and get a confirmation.

Is this version of the voodoo ext4 lagfix the same that is included in DG's SREv2b7?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Yhis might be my problem too. Where is this file?

Thank you :-)
[Captivate Android Development] cellgeek:
I have an Xperia X10a from Sony-Ericsson and it uses YAFFS w/V1.6 of Android. I gotta say, it is very, very quick on file transactions. Haven't run Quadrant Scores on as I don't think that would tell the story correctly. Nice hardware. I still use my Captivate though. . . .

If our hardware treats the flash appropriately, YAFFS would be a really decent FS alternative for this device. You never know with Samsung. . .:rolleyes:

Voodoo 1.6 still "kicks it" with this device. .. been using it since 1.1 and it really makes the device more usable. And I don't worry about "corruption" of the FS

- Sorry didn't mean to derail the thread. . . .
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
lol so can I. -sigh- I don't even think I should bother with you. It's people like you that make people who actually try to help OTHERS lose the inspiration to actually do so.

An arse of an attitude who's just full of himself.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
ditto, looks at his posts, just a whole list of them.. maybe one actual post out of a page of 10, the rest is just ranting..
[Captivate Android Development] Circazero:
So then what have you done for the captivate Rafyvitto

Or for any smartphone? :) lol
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
Yeah I'm not saying he didn't use SRE as a sort of template for his update.zip, but he definitely did a ton of work on porting the kernel to the Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Circazero:
Isn't the kernel already posted in another post:

"[kernel] I9000 2.1 kernel reoriented v1.2 09.15.2010 ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

I agree with yo, the kernel is nice... sent him a PM, SRE is there, he even notes it in his GIT

its not that kernel
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
I don't know why the OP wouldn't just release this apart from SRE. And then if DG wants to throw it in SRE... by all means.

Anyways... very interested in this lag fix. Won't flash yet, because my phone is already blazing on JH7 w/ext2. When I get bored I'll flash it!
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
already software bricked my phone 4 times tonight. SERIOUSLY. may as well go for broke and start flashing new **** at this point
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
what happened?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
if I flash this can I flash unhelpfuls oc/uv kernel over it? I'm likeing the undervolt capabilities. I'm guessing yes but want to be certain. also why does a lag fix need to remove bloat? there are apps I want removed and others I don't.
[Captivate Android Development] IStern:
Generally works very well, but some apps, like zedge, run like molasses.
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
Odin decided to have issues with both my computers. first time it's ever happened. must be my phone. hit the phone + computer screen and didn't wanna exit even with the right button combo. and then that happened a couple times. on top of that the newest SRE hated me too and froze my phone after second boot. and then i had to use Odin AGAIN. which still didn't wanna work and bricked it for the 4th time. in the process of restoring an older SRE and then flashing this over right now, thank god. i don't wanna play with UV kernels anymore.

/rant :D
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
What a funfilled day you had lol.

The oc/uv isnt working for me either. =\
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
whoa. my phone just talked after flashing this. i was in a dead quiet room, and i hear a terminator voice and i jumped straight out of bed. but i'll give it a run and see what happens while i'm waiting to see how SRE 2.0 turns out
[Captivate Android Development] SPE926:
This is amazing, I've been waiting since I first read about it. Soooooooo fast
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
haha same here. my friends were talking and all of a sudden we all hear stuff. kinda creeped us all
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
i dont understand people are saying this is fast when they get 1700 quadrant scores but i have the ext2 with OC and im getting 2424 quadrand scores with out OC I was getting 1800 score
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Its stated many many times all over the internet quadrant is kind of a BS score to base your real world operating performance results on. The lag fix almost tricks it into giving higher scores.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
that's an artificially high score. quadrant doesn't do an elaborate enough test on the file system and the old lag fix procedure would make any phone look faster in

quadrant I personally got a 2575 after 5 minutes in the fridge and an additional 2 percent overclock over the 20 we got from the overclock kernel.

my quadrant score was triple stock, but I hardly noticed the difference. this lag fix can be better compared to other phones on the market, and is probably faster in practice.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yes - I use SRE and so I was building my kernel with your stuff in the initramfs so that I wasn't flashing twice because I wanted some of what you had. I am going to clean this up so that I can have just the lagfix and nothing else. But I did steal your layout because right now it has your stuff in it too though mostly non-functional! But since I was leaving things in memory, I figured why not? It was late at night after two nights straight spent on this and I didn't want t keep you guys waiting so I left SRE in there and so marked designgears in the credits too. It is not the OC kernel - it is pre any clock changes from Unhelpful but I will be adding that on soon too since I am forked off his github.

This is *NOT* the OC/Kernel nor the Galaxy S kernel. It is the Captivate kernel compiled with Samsung sources pre last drop.

I will be removing all traces of SRE later today.

-Atin
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No problem - I was thinking of trying YAFFS too - I have built in support for it already but didn't want to enable it until this EXT4 fix was done, which I hope it is! Other filesystems would be a separate thing though, not part of Voodoo as I want Voodoo just to be supercurio's EXT4 fix with nothing else to confuse matters.

-Atin
[Captivate Android Development] GermanGuy:
Is there somewhat of a consensus which firmware Vodoo runs best on? I am hearing there are some issues with JH7.
[Captivate Android Development] treylemkn:
Very Fast!

Hey guys,

Just flashed the new voodoo 1.6 lagfix on my phone and it's super fast! My biggest peeve with my captivate was the amount of time it took in gREADER to mark articles as read and to move back and forth between rss feeds. No lag no more! It's blazing!

A couple of questions though. Is it possible to do a nandroid backup using clockworkmod with the lag fix installed? I think I read that it must be disabled by adding the disable-lagfix folder using root explorer. But if that's the case...won't it uninstall the lagfix??? And if I wanted to install it again after adding the sub folder...how would I go about doing that?

Second question. I flashed over SRE 1.3.1c and am using JH7. Things seem to be great. Haven't tried using headphones yet so I don't know if I'm having the problem others have reported. I did notice before installing voodoo that I was getting horrible battery life with SRE. Lagfix was not enabled...it was causing my phone to freeze at galaxy s logo so I did a clean install...but again battery drains quickly. Since this it built on a Vanilla kernel...will I see increased battery life or is there something I can do to fix this problem without UV'ing.

Sorry if these are noob questions. I've learned a lot since picking up my captivate 6 weeks ago(moved over from iOS). Everyone in the forum has been really great and helpful.

Great work by the way Adin! Thanks for all your hard work.

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
just wanted to update and say thank you to atinm 1.6 works perfectly with aux cable in car so i was able to jam out to music on way to work. you all rock!:D
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Using disable lagfix makes the Ext4 get converted to RFS, but the voodoo kernel is still there and dormant. Doing a nondroid restore at this point will only change the data and apps, but the kennel will not be swapped out. Remove the disable lagfix file, and voodoo will do its thing again.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
the way that I understand it , is that as long as that disable-lagfix folder is in the voodoo folder ,and you revert back to RFS by restarting the lag fix will be disabled, but not deleted. I think ( may be wrong ) that you can used clock work as long as lag fix is disabled. the minute that you delete the disable-lag fix folder and reboot, the lag fix will be restored. all the pros in here correct me if im wrong please. ( im still learning) lol. the only way to completely get rid of the lag fix should you want, is with the disable-lagfix file still in the voodoo folder reboot wait For it to return to RFS. Then use odin to restore stock kernal. then go back and delete voodoo folder and zip:D
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
lol dang typed too slow lol
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I'd like to know this for sure as well.

Also, can anyone confirm my other question:
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
I disabled the voodoo lagfix on JH7 yesterday and then reapplied it by moving the file out of the voodoo folder. I think it should be fairly straightforward to undo, nandroid, and redo, as long as you didn't need to get any phone calls for 10-15 minutes while the file system is converting twice and nandroid is doing its thing.

I reapplied the lagfix after installing a bunch of apps and it took a lot longer than the first time I applied it on a fresh JH7. I got concerned at the long silence but I was driving anyway and couldn't do anything about it and in the end my patience was rewarded.

Also, I haven't noticed the scroll stuttering since reapplying the lagfix, but I can't remember where I noticed it before so I can't go back to really test it out.
[Captivate Android Development] treylemkn:
rajendra82

Thanks for the response! That's what I thought but wasn't sure.

[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
To my knowledge, dg is using this kernel in his beta SRE roms. I believe it even says so in the credits he's posted in that thread, somwhere.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
I did a straight flash from beta 1.2 to beta 1.5a yesterday...worked beautifully. Also uninstalled Advanced Task Killer, since there were mentions on multiple threads of it contributing to additional lag. So far, so good.

After utilizing SRE for a while, and coming from a Nexus One...it's nice to be back to just flashing a kernel, instead of having to do a stock flash beforehand. Haha. I think I flashed kernels on my N1 about 20+ times in the 2 months I owned it.

Thanks for all the hard work you've been doing atinm.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yes, it will convert the filesystem back to RFS so that nandroid can back up. The kernel is still there as as soon as you delete the disable-lagfix file and reboot, it'll convert back to EXT4 and be enabled again. Nandroid does not understand EXT4, that is why you have to convert back to RFS before you can Nandroid.

The old SRE version was using the overclocked version of the kernel which would eat battery some. This is as close to stock as I could make it, so battery should be about the same as it was with stock kernel installed.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I don't know what version SRE is using in the beta, but I think he is either using the latest or very close to latest version and would use the latest by the time it is out of beta.
[Captivate Android Development] r_shook:
Awesome work Atin!!

Many Thanks:)
[Captivate Android Development] LuckyX2:
Well I flashed it stock again but this time with a master clear first. Somehow the mic works now...

I did things in this order: Master clear>Flash to stock with odin>sre 1.3.1> voodoo kernel v1.6>install apps.

It's still working fine. I wonder what happened? Oh well, at least it's better now.

Thanks for the master clear suggestion btw.
[Captivate Android Development] it2swbrown:
Sorry I haven't been able to read the entire thread but is anybody having issues mounting the sd cards to your computer after installing this or is it just me. I am going to try to reinstall the drivers to see if that helps. Just wanted to know if anyone besides me is having the issue. Phone is extremely fast though. Thanks for this.
[Captivate Android Development] Justinph5:
Yes I had an issue mounting my sd cards to my computer also.

To be ackle to mount the cards, you have to enable debugging mode, then just mount the same way.
[Captivate Android Development] it2swbrown:
Debugging mode didnt work for me. Neither did reinstalling the drivers. I will have to do some digging around.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Word of advice to captivate users running i9000 roms, you will loose your orientation sensor, after flashing this lagfix, so just go back to stock and flash it, and everything will be perfectly fine =]
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Yup, same problem here. Can't mount SD card (internal or extrenal). Even after enabling usb debugging.

Really need this.

EDIT: Just got a brand new phone. Applied "Unleash the beast", then did voodoo 1.6.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Does it work without voodoo? You should also check your Settings > USB Settings > Ask on connection to make sure it doesn't just assume Kies. I use linux and macs rather than windows and I have to make sure to tell it to ask first what kind of connection it wants to create before I am able to mount. Also, once I hook in the usb cable, I still have to "mount" the disks - it doesn't happen automatically and I am not sure it is supposed to for linux/macs. I don't do windows but I don't think this should break that functionality.
[Captivate Android Development] Divinedark:
Reboot...

My external SD card wouldn't mount after the flash. I had to fix permissions and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Well atinm haven't posted here yet but since dg shut down the sre thread, assuming the new sre voodoo thread is coming (refresh is gonna break) , just wanted to stop in and thank you. Sre and your voodoo kernel are what captivate should be. Running with no oc and blows away any oc version I have ran. Donation coming to all of you wednesday (pay day) split what 3 or 4 sucks but I'll hook you all up. Least I can do for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] it2swbrown:
Thank you for this. I never thought about this because I have never had to run "fix permissions" before.

It did it's thing, I rebooted and mounting worked like a charm. All better now.

Now I know and knowing is half the battle. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
so i made a file folder on my computer named "disable-lagfix", and transferred it via usb to the Voodoo folder. But, when i rebooted, it just rebooted normally. I didn't hear any voice telling me it was uninstalled. Is there any way to check if it is uninstalled before i use rom manager to get back to my jh7?

i would just try rom manager again, but i forgot to disable earlier, and tried to restore to another rom...WHOA! bad idea!!! went into a force close loop for everything! it took me like ten minutes to get it shut off because so many force closes popped up. One click odin'd back to stock, then used rom manager to get back to my sreb7 rom, and now i'm at the point of disabling the lag fix to get back to a stock JH7.
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
you need to make a .txt file not a file folder
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
aw shucks! thank you sir...everyone else i read said to make a folder. Trying it now. :)

hmm...still have yet to hear a voice. restarted twice with the .txt in the voodoo folder. Both times just restarted normal and speedy??
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
No worries. Glad to help. :)
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
i was editing at the same time as your reply! still haven't heard a voice!
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
If you used one click Odin, then I believe you have the stock kernel and not the Voodoo anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
should have realized that myself....just switched roms without a hitch, thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Well I just caught up on reading this entire thread amd I am a bit puzzled. I flashed DG's v2b7voodoo last night having not read this thread, shame on me I know. Anywho, I didn't make a .text disable-lagfix and ran a Nandroid backup with ROM Manager after getting all of my apps back using TIBU and it ran fine, it hung on ext4, which it does even with Tayatuma's ext4 but it worked. I guess I am either lucky or special, I'm going with special. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] benezuela:
Just wanted to say thanks for this. Updated from 1.2 to 1.5a without doing anything special then went to 1.6. Sound works on auxiliary in car now and everything's snappy.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
UMMM I don't think so. This is what worked for me.

Mount phone to computer

Navugate to the Voodo folder in the SDCARD

Create a file that is empty and has no extensions, name it "disable-lagfix"

(right click -> new-> new folder)

Unmount

Shut phone OFF

Turn back on.

If this is done correctly you should here a voice that says " Coverting backs to RFS" or something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
I believe that you are correct you will have the Captivate Kernel back but there will still be an EXT4 folder in your NAND. I believe it was confirmed that the EXT4 survived ODIN.

I believe the best thing to do is the "disable-lagfix" wait for phone to be reverted back to RFS then use One-click-ODIN to revert to stock Captivate.

I could be wrong, But i think this is confirmed by both AtNIM and Zilch.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Ooh, :( no you either make a folder called "disable-lagfix" or a file with NO extension of that name. Actually "disable lagfix" worked for me, no hyphen, but that was a week or more ago.
[Captivate Android Development] shadow65781:
fix permissions

hi thank you everyone for all your hard work

my usb connectivity broke about a week ago warrenty replacement on the way, however while absorbing this thread I read something about fix permissions might be able to get back usb connectivity .

this fix makes my phone really fast btw. (I had to use media fire to host it then download with opera to be able to get it on my phone)

can someone help me by pointing me in the direction of fix permissions.

Im running jf6 root with voodoo1.6

my pc win 7 64 is telling me the usb device has been stopped due to a malfuntion in the device my phone wont show a coonection icon most of the time sometimes it will.

Ive always had to fuss with it it has been kinda buggy getting it to connect since day one, would have to restart phone or do multiple unplug and plugin,then it just quit completely ive removed and reinstalled drivers .

any help would be apreciated if I could get this to work again Id like to possibly keep this phone if I could as my replacement will be a refub.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
fix permissions is in rom manager..... scroll down to it
[Captivate Android Development] shadow65781:
duh

nm found it in rom manager, running now
[Captivate Android Development] shadow65781:
thanks tech

will report back results

damn still broke maybe a hardware problem
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
I had similar problems as well.

I went in to AT&T a few days ago and complained of not mounting on the PC and got a new phone.

I was just wondering... have you tried another OS?

I'm also running win7 64... I wonder if XP or Vista users have the same problem? Re-installing drivers don't seem to do anything.

Also... windows keeps showing the external SD as corrupted or containing errors and a prompt keeps popping up when I mount to correct the errors.

However even with the new phone... the phone itself reacts weird.

For instance when I have settings set to "Ask on connection" and I mount... under the mount button in notifications.."Press to transfer files...etc.." thing doesn't show up.

Then I have to go back to settings..and set USB as "Mass storage" then re-connect and finally the mount button works.

I'm puzzled....
[Captivate Android Development] shadow65781:
those are the problems i have had since day one and eventually it just quit connecting at all and yeah Ive tried multiple os and pc and cables I guess these things can be epected when having two seperate types of systemslike windows and linux talk to each other not really sure whats going on this phone has way more functionality than my winmo but it would connect everyday allday
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
dayum this was stickied! and it's only in beta.. woo
[Captivate Android Development] Divinedark:
Are you running a launcher other than touchwiz? Like ADW or Launcher Pro?

Usb connectivity will only work with Touchwiz.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
yes, this is the correct method. I am going to copy this into the header!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The only reliable method I know is to set the phone to "Ask connection type" under USB settings (I usually set USB Debugging on too and that is required for the macs to see the phone!). Then I use mount card to mount the cards as USB drives if I want. The default choice on the phone is Kies which is Samsung's own program and I have no idea how the damn thing is supposed to work and it is quite irritating because it seems the thing is not very reliable even on Windows, let alone linux or macs.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No, this is not true. I don't use TW, but rather Launcher Pro. I think it has to do with the settings under Settings > Applications > USB Setting. I have mine set to "Ask on connection". That way I can choose Mass storage when I want to mount the phone onto my computer and I guess ppl can also use Kies if they figure out how to use it (I haven't yet). I don't even know what the thing is . . .
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Thanks - I don't ask for donations, but do support supercurio and DG! I'm doing this because its fun! :D
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It's only a beta because I doubt I'll ever call it "release". But if I was working for a big company that had me on a deadline, v1.6 would be getting a v1.6-final by monday (and in fact, that is the tag on my github for release v1.6!). ;)
