Question.

I googled first, and read forum.

Explain the disable lowest display settings.?

If I disable it, my widget tells me my display can go down to 0.

if I enable it, my display widget tells me I go down to 12 percent.

Is this right?

[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Can't speak to the widget, but lowest display setting allows the display to go darker than stock (for battery life and gentler viewing in the dark). However it is too dark for some peoples' preference, so disabling it restores the stock lowest brightness.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
You just detailed exactly what the setting is supposed to do, keep the display from going to 0% when it's enabled due to some not liking how dark it gets (as stated in the previous post ;) ) when going to 0%. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
Awesome, K13D is out! Thanks, hardcore! Flashing shortly. :D

Edit: Had a strange occurrence. After flashing D and clearing Dalvik, I had no data access on any band. Toggled airplane mode and experienced a hang or freeze requiring me to shut down the phone with power and volume up. After reboot everything seems fine. Dunno if it was a coincidence or a fluke or what. Strange, though.

The screen looks excellent with this version. Text is fantastic. Great work!

Any plans to update the Voodoo sound drivers?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
That's what I was afraid of, I was hoping it was supposed to make screen darker. Sometimes I want it really dark, like the clock app can do, but still use the device.

Oh well, I guess I'm SOL.

Hardcore mentioned that since he makes some modifications to supercurio's code for the SpeedMod kernels, it will take him a little longer to integrate the latest version of Voodoo Sound.

HC posted this earlier in the i9000 thread. So its coming at some point! I'm just glad to see him back :D
[Captivate Android Development] ccdoggy:
I am wondering if someone could outline the WiFi turn on error that this kernel is experiencing. My phone is on occasion refusing to turn on the wifi after being off for a while, either reporting "error" or it just hangs trying to turn on . This is with the SuckerPunch kernel wich is a speedmod with a few different features.

Just curious if this is the same problem speedmod users are seeing.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] hardcore:
Yes that is the problem, and it is not specific to speedmod. It started happening with Froyo and I think this problem happens on all kernels/firmwares and even with HTC phones.
[Captivate Android Development] jpeg42:
I had the same experience with K13D on Perception 10.1. After a flash and Dalvik wipe, I was actually in airplane mode after the reboot. Taking off airplane mode brought on cellular data, but wifi was still off. I had to toggle wifi a few times to get it to stick. Never had this happen with any other version of SpeedMod. After a couple reboots now, all seems OK.

Great work, this kernel has kept me super happy for a while now!
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
k13d

So far just as good or better than c. Very stable. Thanks Hardcore!
[Captivate Android Development] guika:
All ok it seems faster than k13c. I had the wifi bug sometimes but after a reboot all was ok. I will check k13d it fixes or not.

Also had bug with windows xp and sdcard mount. After the removal procedure the phone do not mount internal and external sd.

How are those running k13D finding the battery? I have had to stick with k13A as my cappy didn't play well with the later versions. I am hoping i get the chance to flash this as soon as I get time off :)

Thanks Hardcore! Glad you are back with us :-)
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
I had the same problem as you. K13A gave me great battery life, but not so much for K13C.

I've been using K13D for about half a day now, and so far the battery is as good as K13A (if not better).
[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
So, anyone still experiencing wifi problems on K13D? :) I can no longer turn wifi on from the toggle in the pull down shade or from the home screen widget. Attempting to do so can also cause Wifi Settings to hang when opening.

I can turn wifi off using either of the above methods, but I can only turn it on from within Wifi Settings. I occasionally had problems activating it before, but with K13D the behavior is consistent.

K13D is performing very well for me. Im getting great battery life and the voodoo sharpness tweak is a nice touch. Ive always gone back to K12S, but K13D seems to be probably the best version Ive used yet.
[Captivate Android Development] clemmie:
No such issues for me; everything working normally here.
[Captivate Android Development] Francois88:
I have a bell i9000m and love Speedmod's kernel for it so I was pleased to see a version for the captivate.

I got a friend with a canadian rogers i896 captivate so I just wanted to make sure it's safe to flash it on that model even though the thread specifically says "This kernel is for the AT&T Captivate (SGH-i897)".

If so anything special, or just flash it normally with odin from 2.2 stock?
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
I'm on Rogers as well with the i896 and it works great.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Using k13D now 15hrs 17m 30s still sitting at 79% probably going to last 2 days for me of moderate usage make some calls 15 mins, txt 10 people, browse some email, did some facebook updates, using it with phoenix ultimate. I hope hardcore will provide the latest voodoo sound in his kernel since more people use his kernel it is still the best for battery life
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I tried some other kernels like paragon and suckerpunch... Battery life took a sharp nose dive, even after aggressively undervolting.

I've flashed this and combined with jq1 modem but when I make a call using bluetooth the sound is still very noisy. I've tried with other modems but the sound is the same. Should I use KB1 kernel and KB1 modem so that I get a clear sound when I make a call using bluetooth? Does anyone experience the same problem like me when using i9000 kernel and modem on captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Depends on the rom your using if your running cognition bluetooth is bork when running I9000 kernel not sure about fusion
[Captivate Android Development] spradling:
In my case performance took a hit with Sucker, even with no UV, came back to speedmod :)

No lagfix btw (better for batt right?)

My battery sucks but it has always sucked.
[Captivate Android Development] guika:
If u use your phone your battery will suck. It dosent matter what your are using. If your phone on 1ghz use some net connection make wifi or 3g. It will due within 4-6h. Its normal. If u use it like a phone. Not using it just in case. It will keep up for 3 days. The uv solution will earn 25-30mW which is about a half extra hour usage.

Modems are the same +-2-5mw.

Screen use 660mw

With navi on and use some software about 1560mW

If you see this numbers uv is nothing....

Also uv could be dangerous because its raise up the amper going trough on the bga legs.

P=U*I

I had my best xp with hardcore kernel. Fast stable great.

My phone acting as i expect with hc kernel.

Generally if you could keep up a day. Its great.

[Captivate Android Development] kevalin:
That's true enough with constant usage, but the real (and important) difference I see is with what the battery drain is while the phone is idle or seeing only light to moderate usage. For me, at least, using Speedmod's kernels and KP1 (JK4 worked really well, too, but the sound is better w/KP1) with Cognition 4 is the difference between being able to charge my battery once every 24 to 30 hours, and having to put it on the charger up to three times in that same time period if I don't have that rom/modem/kernel combination

I'll take the former option, thanks very much... :)
[Captivate Android Development] harleydad82:
I agree, with hardcore I can go up to 30 hrs between charges no problem with reg. Use. The standbye on hardcore is what makes this kernel the best I've found, keep trying others, but keep coming back. Using jk4 also.

Cappy running continuum 3.5, hardcore speedmod k13D. Using xda app!
[Captivate Android Development] msolus:
With Voodoo 5.5 I got a Quadrant score of ~1550 with JS8

With K13D my Quadrant score is ~1250 on the same JS8.

Why the difference?

Edit: They are both running with ext4 converted and I have enabled all recommended tweaks.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
a better question would be why do you care?

don't use benchmarks especially quadrant to determine how well a certain setup performs, instead use real world use and see for yourself

To answer your question, speedmod uses different mount options from voodoo. If you want to enable the faster, less safe mount options go to advanced speedmod features (or something like that) -> LAGFIX options -> EXT4 Mount Options in recovery and select Use FASTER mount opts

that should increase quadrant scores
[Captivate Android Development] msolus:
Cheers. I don't actually care about the numbers (or I'd still be on Voodoo) - I just was igorant about the mounting options.
[Captivate Android Development] agaruba:
I'm getting some serious ass battery life with speedmod k13d kernel and darky 9.4 and kp1 modem. 22-28 hours (22 with normal usuage... I text a lot have 3 emails synced constantly, Twitter and Facebook updating every hour and whatsapp running all the time. Play about 30mins of games throughout the day, display on for close to 2 hours and about 45mins of voice. GPS used a couple times and multiple hours of internet use spread across different apps and times of the day.) 28 hours when I don't do much.

Just like to say hardcore has the best kernel for my captivate. Existz suckerpunch (onix 2) gave me 12-14hrs (no OC but UV) which was still amazing considering stock was like 6hrs max with my usage... but damn hardcore... this **** is a BEAST.

You have my praises. Just a question though... can anyone tell me what exactly does ipv6 do and are there known compatibility issues? And an example of something that might work better with ipv6?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
I miss those days when hardcore released SpeedMod updates almost everyday. I suppose he's busy with something else and the kernel has reached a very stable and efficient version. Right now I'm tempted to flash Onix kernel but I'm so happy with SpeedMod that I don't know whether VoodooSnd v6 worths the change.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I flashed Onyx and had issues with the external card media scanning. Wouln't stop, Back to SpeedMod and all is well. I have always had some issues with SuckerPunch as well. I think you can get Voodoo sound as a separate Apk from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] clemmie:
Our man is on an Atrix now, and I saw in another thread that he was saying that development has slowed because there is very little left to tweak in this kernel. With the exception of Voodoo sound and a couple of other tweaks, I'd have to agree.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Thanks for your feedback about Onix. As far as I know, Voodoo Snd versions must be supported by the kernel so the apk make its magic.

Anyway, I think we'll be needing a Gingerbread kernel for our Captivates very soon :D
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Since lots of people aren't having this problem with Onix or Suckerpunch, it's probably your phone.

You could try posting in the threads for those kernels for suggestions.
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
I tried Suckerpunch (both before it became onix) don't know what but there were always so many problems. mainly batter. Though i am anxiously awaiting for when he incorporates voodoo sound v6. But he does do his own tweeks to voodoo. I don't mind. My phone is stable and awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Future Speedmod Tweaks?

As a devoted speedmod user, I'm curious what might be in the oven for a future update of this kernel...

I ask because I've tried onix, and there were a few things I really liked about it, but I, like many others, have found it to be fairly unstable (charge death, wifi) and have ended up just coming back to what works best for me-- speedmod.

That said, It seems common among the custom kernels to incorporate interesting boot screens/animations. I don't know that I care about any animation, but I wouldn't mind seeing a more interesting bootscreen...

Might this be a consideration for a future release of speedmod?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
There are apps that simply refuse to work with that kernel, but work just fine on speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Try enabling the cpu threshold tweak in my recovery, I use way more battery conservative threshold values (55/90)..spending more time at lower frequencies.. the tweak will set it 30/70.. you might have to also readjust your oc/uv settings as it will spend more time at higher frequencies, stressing them more ..

Sorry for the hijack hardcore

Having the same problem in Windows on Darky's for captivate. Im not using this kernel yet either, just whatever is included in the rom (pretty sure its xcaliburinhands reorinented)

I can mount in linux however, but at the end of a file transfer the file transfers across in bursts. Unmounting takes a while too.

Never had this problem before 2.2.1 roms.

ok I already flashed it using clockwork, i made almost a random choice at which file I chose but it worked and I already optimized setting for best performance, I have a bit of a noobish question though

what is the difference between all of the available kernels to download if they are all the speedmod.

I understand one lacks 720 video

can someone elaborate on this for me

is the are best one in particular , im in us if that matters
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
The 256hz version means kernel hz is at 256hz, which is samsung default, 500hz is at 500hz...its smoother...there is no battery difference between 256/500

HZ is an internal timer value used by the Android/Linux kernel. It affects the timer granularity of some kernel functions.

The 500hz-cold version is if your screen is to yellow, it makes it more blue to even it out

The 500hz-warm version is if your screen is to blue, it makes it more yellowish to even it out ...

The ones without warm/cold are versions at default color settings...

Then the BIGMEM has more memory but lacks 720p recording...etc

Last but not least...the k12h version is a newer kernel than k12g...you can check out the change log from hardcores website...next version should be k12i for example...

No, mine says 2.6.32.9, but nothing else - I had been using, and could still be using, the original kernel that came with the latest AUXURA. Speed-wise, it was already quite zippy, but I thought I would try this for battery life improvement - maybe I should flash it with ODIN - I already flashed it with the SGS KERNEL app and using CWM.

Do u feel flashing to "DXJPA wifi firmware" would give even more battery life on this kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea JPA wifi firmware will help with battery drain caused by wifi...no matter what kernel you run JPA wifi seems to use less power than JPY firmware..the kernel doesnt have any ties to the modem or wifi

UCKB1-> This Kernel-> KP1 Modem??

I seem to continue to be confused. I read to not mix i9000 modems with Captivate Kernels, ie. use i9000 Kernels. This one indicates it is a Captivate Kernel, and I read above someone running KP1 Modem, which is an i9000 modem.

So, anyway, here is where I"m at: I had been running different 2.2.1 ROMS, and really like Serindipity, and KP1. But, on every 2.2.1 ROM I have used, after 2-3 weeks, for some reason, my auto rotate quits. The only way to fix it has been to flash back to 2.1 stock, and then reflash the 2.2.1 ROMS. So I decided to try a UCKB1 ROM. Currently on Cognition 4.1.1. I have a few flaky things going on...WiFi issues working well with Tasker; and Existz's kernel I have no does not have method to turn off BLN (I really don't care for that at all). BTW...all suggested methods to turn it off have failed for me.

So, anyway, I am considering staying with Cognition for a while longer (still have not had auto rotate fail on this one), and put this kernel on, and KB1.

This can be done? (I realize I would have to disable Voodoo, and establish different lag fix on this kernel). Also, I have been very successful with battery life using OC (1.4) and UV, on current setup. If I could get no BLN and consistent WIFI with all else working like it is now, I'd be good to go.

Sorry for the long post.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
This is an i9000 based kernel that has been modified to work better on the captivate (same for Onix, Paragon kernel, Glitterball's kernel), not a captivate based kernel (like OverStock or eXistZ Captivate Kernel). You should use this kernel with i9000 modems like KP1, JK4, or JL3. Also you don't have to disable Voodoo before flashing this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thanks. So I take it that I can use it on the UCKB1 Captivate Rom. Right? Just wanting to be sure.

The reason I said I thought I need to disable Voodoo, is because I thought I read this kernel uses EXT4, not Voodoo, and I am sure I read in a situation like that I should disable Voodoo. Maybe I am remembering wrong, and this kernel does use Voodoo.

[EDIT]

Just went to the FAQ, and it too indicates I can install w/o disabling the Voodoo.

BTW...just had another issue that has been happening to me: loss of a selection of a ringtone, hence, no ring on incoming call. NOt sure what causes that. But hopefully installing this kernel will fix my issues.

Hoping I can disable BLN from Recovery with this too. Will install with CWM version and see how it goes.

Thanks for the replies.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Yes you should be able to use this kernel on a KB1 ROM.

Voodoo IS an EXT4 lagfix. Voodoo is just the name of supercurio's project. Voodoo and Speedmod lagfixes do have a few differences, but the main objective is the same, replace Samsung's RFS with EXT4. You do not NEED to disable either one when you switch back and forth because they both support EXT4.

Here's a link to the Voodoo website with some more info on that lagfix: http://project-voodoo.org/lagfix

Gonna give it a try.

[EDIT]

I have successfully installed. I'll see how it goes. Not being ablet to OC/UV, not sure if I'll stay. Definitely slower. My battery was fantastic before.

I'll post back how it goes.

BTW...I did enable all the tweaks like suggested in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] :
1) WiFi turn-on error; 2) Tweaks

1) What is "WiFi turn-on error"? Is it below mentionned problem?

I'm using "Y5 battery saver" https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.polidea.y5&feature=search_result App turns Wifi off when no known network is around and turns it on in locations where you were already connected before.

Since flashed Darky9.5 + modem I9088ZNKP1 + speedmod_kernel_i897_k13d_500hz, I see that consumption of internet traffic was at least doubled. Same programs as usual.

WiFi connected with delay when came to known zone or when me in known zone, WiFi turning Off and after delay On.

Just flashed modem ZSJPG and will see, may be it's modem depended.

2) Could you please recommend which tweaks shall be activated, only (R) recomended tweaks or also (O) optional??

Since flashing, don't changed anything in Lagfix and Tweaks options.
