[Captivate Android Development] Fortune090:
You need to flash a 2.2 rom first, then this kernel. Being your first time flashing, I'd try Perception 9.5. It probably has the most stock feel compared to any other roms. Once you have experience with flashing roms, you should have no problem testing out new roms to see what you like. But remember, ALWAYS flash to stock JF6 with Odin before flashing new roms, especially since there are a few with Voodoo out there. Download Titanium Backup and Batch backup all your apps before each time you flash with Odin, and you can redownload and batch restore. There are plenty of tutorials out there for you to get started. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] kiltedthrower:
I went through this thread and either didn't read close enough or just completely missed if this was posted or not. I'm running cog 3b6. How do I know if I have voodoo and if I do, do I need to disable it to flash this kernal?
[Captivate Android Development] mcx6:
If you have cog 2.3b6, then it states in change log that it does have voodoo. To be on the safe side I would disable it, all you have to do is use a file explorer (root explorer. super manager) and find the voodoo folder on the internal sd, place a file or folder "disable-lagfix" without the quotes in the voodoo folder and reboot the phone and should be disable. If you look at the OP and there is instructions on installing and a frequently question link.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Kinda interesting, I had my file system set to e=4 and it was a tad laggy (and by tad I mean I'm splitting hairs) so I converted it back to RFS just for the heck of it and it seems to run better. I'm gonna leave it like this and see how it does tonight....provided I don't lose my phone at a club tonight lol.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Trying this with Darky's 7.7 and it is working great. Haven't noticed any lag yet but time will tell I guess. Glad to see you putting some work in on the Captivate man.

Edit: when going to settings > applications and wait for the list of apps and icons to load it is pretty slow on this kernel with ext4 all lagfix. The kernels im comparing it to are all 1.2 OC but that 200Mhz must make a big difference. I am gonna try nj lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] ArkieMD:
anyone else lose their network upon flashing this kernel?

specifically the 500 cwm version
[Captivate Android Development] liqn7:
Flashed 500HZ on top of Cezar's ROM with no lag fix and JK4 Modem. Best battery life and still the smoothest experience ever.

With Captivate Keep alive on, I'm only loosing 4% an hour with data sync & juice defender.

Thanks for all the hard work speedmod :)

As an aside, do people recommend enabling all the optional tweaks to in CWM recovery? I've only done the recommended ones so far...

cheers :)
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Adam, I said that only 'cos you can get an idea of how new ROMs are, what features they have, the battery drains, and more things like this. This would help you get set on things u might want in the ROM u want to settle in. Also, this would help u get more comfortable using recovery and download modes, etc. Once u have sufficiently played with flashing ROMs, u could then start mixing and matching stuff from various ROMs. I advised this since you are new to flashing ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Noob question, I think:

I tried to look in the OP and other posts, but couldn't get answer for this.

Is the only difference between the 256 and 500 version the HZ value -- HZ=500 and HZ=256. Or are there any other differences too.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
They are the same, just different HZ
[Captivate Android Development] cnigro1279:

[Captivate Android Development] :
Whats the cold version? Ive never seena cold version to download from on the OP yet it seems to have way more downloads than the normal CWM version.
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
Actually hardcore's settings are different.

About sharpness, those are soft, Voodoo's are balanced, Samsung are over-sharpened.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Wow, went from Q to S and it seems to be faster. May be placebo effect (I didnt think this kernel could get any faster) but it really does seem more responsive. Call clarity/sound also sound great.

Thanks to my speedmod kernel and serendipity rom to make my phone better than all of my friends/familys Droid phones and my wifes 'beloved' iPhone.

[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
As you load a new kernel version, is it standard practice to remove prior versions? I now have 3 versions on my sdcard.

Tpmween1
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
You can delete the downloaded kernel from your sdcard if you want after the flash. You can also keep it in case something doesn't go right with the test kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
It blows me away at how fast updates are released, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] rlamontjr:
not sure if its a kernel thing. but why is my brightness always 90-something percent on the battery usage chart. not a problem because battery life is great. just wanted to know.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Bcuz your screen and display is what uses all of the battery up.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Just installed latest version. Still is too dark, if out would hold a setting just below the half way point it would be great in my opinion. Still having to set it manually to have out look bright enough.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Well, I'm using the stable version K12S and I find the brightness to be perfect for my taste.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's wonderful now. My eyes aren't inflamed from looking at the screen at night, and I no longer need sun hat on my phone to use it outside.
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
This is a minor issue, but can you remove the FM functions of Voodoo sound in the Captivate version by any chance? The other Captivate kernel developers do this and it feels "complete". This is my only issue with your awesome kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
Dont know what you did with k12T - T1 but my captivate runs much faster now..

I am testing for stability..
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:
my haptic feedback isn't working on the home button :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Isn't that just paranoia? I mean if there is no chip for FM in there then technically those service calls just lead to nowhere which means that isn't even running. Or you could just de-select it in the voodoo sound app. Either way seems like something pretty small to actually bring up as an issue. :/

Hardcore your kernels are great!
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
Like I said, minor issue. If the service calls go nowhere, why have it in the kernel?

Polish is always nice.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Even if it's not in the kernel, won't it still show up in the Voodoo Control App? Or even cause issues because the Voodoo driver might then be incorrectly detected?
[Captivate Android Development] hardcore:
Leaving it in or taking it out won't cause any issues. The FM radio routing in the sound codec is never used if the phone doesn't have FM radio.

I don't take it out because it will make it difficult for the way I compile the kernels - there are so many variations so I try to keep them as similar as possible.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Not sure if anyone cares but I tried the Firebird kernel yesterday and the battery life is atrocious compared to speedmod. So, needless to say, I'm going back to speedmod.

I'm getting around 11 hours or so on speedmod and was getting under 8 with firebird.

What are the possible concerns with using the faster mount option
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Agreed. Performance felt about the same in my opinion, with speedmod having better battery life. And I'm using kp1.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Possible data corruption or data loss. I ran faster mount option for over a week with no problems. If you flash a lot of kernels then there is no harm in the faster mount option, but dont run the battery all the way til its dead. It raises quadrant scores too.

Try the Dimmer app or Screen Filter app for those times.
[Captivate Android Development] simulatordos:
Hardcore, the earpiece (in call) volume is decent on T. Is there any way you could boost it +1 on the next version? It would be worth another donation!!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Hey, i know you already know this, but if you set, # CONFIG_SND_VOODOO_FM is not set, it takes care of what people are wanting (fm to not show in voodoo app) , instead of taking FM out completely ..which i know you have so many different variations, i would want them the same as much as possible, you are a machine man, thanks for all the great work

Love the improvements, definitely the best kernel I have flashed.

However, I was wondering if anyone else had this issue: Since revision U, after I receive a text message or notification, my home key backlight stays on after the screen times out to black. Any thoughts? I have all the recommended tweaks enabled, maybe I need to disable something?

I am running the kernel on Rogers stock Froyo. Thanks in advance.

[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Unfortunatly I have to agree with this.

I have always had good battery life execpt on the stock rom but today I went from 100% (yes it actually said 100%) to 5% in the space of 5 hrs with 0, zero, nada, no use on the phone, wifi off, gps off, phone in silent mod. I was taking a test at college so everything was off but it dumped the battery pretty damn quick.

Phone shut off before I could get home to the charger so I wasn't able to hit the batt history with SGS tools.

On the worst life ever I always got 9hrs+.

Coming back to SpeedMod of course. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Your phone probably never went into sleep mode on firebird. That would explain the terrible battery drain. It was happening to a few ppl including myself.

Ok, now this Is odd. Wifi was not going to sleep when set on k12t. So I went back to k12s, but it still won't sleep. Must be a rom thing?
[Captivate Android Development] evrionis:
Would anyone know how to enable the ability to OC this kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
When wifi sleeps, it is still on just not active. On my battery history, with SGS Tools, it shows this for phone on:

But actual wifi use is correct to the time i was using it browsing xda and watching you tube:

Phone on time:

System Panel shot showing when I wake the phone up and how the wifi used zero resources until I turned the screen on:

So my point is that wifi sleep is still wifi ON, it's not actually shut off when in sleep mode or it would be called wifi OFF.

Now if your wifi running time is the same as wifi on time and you have it set to sleep when screen off and you don't have syncs checking in every 5 mins, then there is an issue.

This was done on Speedmod K12S :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Could be but all guess work at the point the phone died, I do know that the screen was not on as every time I pulled my phone out to check for missed call icons, NoLed rules btw, the screen was off. It goes into sleep now for sure but the battery has dumped over 10% in the last hour :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
What app did you use to gather this information?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
System Panel or Spare Parts.
[Captivate Android Development] justmart:
Thank You for taking your time to do that test. Yesterday I did the same and my results was... 1 hour since unplugged and 1 hour wifi on... Today I checked and right now the values are 3 hours since unplugged and 1.15 wifi on... But I'm pretty sure I haven't used wifi for 1 hour because I took a nap. Oh! and I feel since I notice this that my battery drain more fast [maybe is my mind]. Btw I'm running serendipity 4.3 speedmod T 500. Jk4 modem.

Just installed K12T-warm-500Hz and immediately noticed that the color tone was not warm at all. I checked the 'About phone' screen, as well as the Video Player app (in previous warm versions of Speedmod, the 'warm' option in Video Player stopped working or made the screen cooler on; in K12T, warm made the screen warm and normal gave me back my ugly blue tint). The screen was also noticeably blurrier.

I'm back on K12S-warm and I have my warm color and sharper screen back.
