Hi! I have a rather dumb question! I've installed this kernel using Odin, I've applied the three recommended tweaks and all, but I'm troubled by the fact that on the phone information, the kernel section does not say speedmod or anything of the sort. It simply says the number, but nothing else.

Is that supposed to be the case? Or should a kind of speedmod signature appear? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
Are you by any chance running stock 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
1.	Pull out your SIM and external sdcard!

2.	Return to stock <- This step is not mandatory. Make sure you have 3 buttons combo and flash over. Disabling lagfix is not mandatory either. If you have problems (battery drain, lags) return to stock.

3.	Download the ROM

4.	Flash from ClockworkMod recovery

5.	Allow the phone to boot completely

6.	Reboot to Recovery install the Kernel
[Captivate Android Development] rufex2001:
I am! Yes! Is that a problem? I thought it said that it works with all stock roms...
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
It will, but the stock rom only shows one line for the kernel version. It tells you you're running speedmod on the second line...
[Captivate Android Development] rufex2001:
Right! I've noticed that on some screen captures. So I'm running it, but stock just does not say I am, right?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
If you went into recovery and enabled tweaks I would say you are good.
[Captivate Android Development] rufex2001:
Thank you! I was hoping I'd fix some random shutdown issues, since I'm not from the US and exchanging it is not an option. I'v tried setcpu at 200 and read somewhere that speedmod did it. So far, only the keep alive does it. I'll start trying a few roms now!
[Captivate Android Development] clemmie:
FYI, it doesn't give improvement straight out of the box, if I remember correctly. You have to reboot to recovery and enable ext4 in your settings, then reboot again and it will take a while for the filesystem to be rewritten in ext4, but after that you are golden.

If you were already aware please disregard.

Wifi/3G connectivity

Flashed the K13E last week, has anyone noticed a change in the wifi auto-connecting and the phone randomly shutting off the radio and/or 3G?
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I've had wifi issues since before E but I don't know if it's the kernel or the ROM (Apex). Sometimes wifi will just refuse to connect until I reboot.

Using Samsung Car Dock -audio from phone is stopped, but there is no output from the dock. Should this be working yet in K13E?
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
I've been using this by installing the Serendipity ROM. Works great, except that BLN should NOT be baked into a kernel. If somebody wants to add it as an app, fine, but some tertiary functionality shouldn't be at the kernel level.

Also, as a side note, NoLED is a MUCH better way of getting over the notification issues of the Galaxy S hardware. I've been using it since I got my Captivate, and it works great.

EDIT: Typo.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
There are 2304 posts in this thread. Yours is the only one whining about bln being in the kernel. I'm sure hardcore will get right on it for you. Unreal.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
From a technical standpoint, its impossible. BLN requires direct modifications to the touchkey driver. Its not like you can't turn it off, though.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I dont think the car dock fix was implemented into speedmod
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Well, at least he's whining about it in the right thread now. He is the only person using Serendipity who seems to feel this way, and trust me, he won't let it go.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Yeah, just ignore him from here on out. It's really the best option at this point. You will never cease his complaining, we've tried.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
You're right, I've never set anyone to 'ignore' before, he's become the first.

Back to the subject - I hope Hardcore is working on a GB kernel for whatever GB ROM Mike is cooking up!

[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Don't worry, the mods are more than capable of telling whose posts are "normal". :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
The thread's for discussion of the kernel, and that's discussion of the kernel. I don't doubt that it's more efficient to bake something into the kernel, that doesn't mean it should be done. It's fundamentally bad practice to put tertiary functionality into the kernel where it clearly doesn't belong.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
And you have made your point. No need to keep cluttering the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Can I ask why you think that? I've already explained, it's not something you can do from userspace. That means, its either baked into the kernel, or not at all. Battery drain is negligible, there's no performance drops, and it's a few hundred lines of code, so it's not like it uses any substantial memory. For something that 99% of us like (I had people begging for me to port it to CM, it was the single most wanted feature), and something that is easily disabled for those who don't like it, I don't see the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Then don't do it!!! I have a really hard time believing that many people haven't discovered NoLED.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I've used NoLED, and found it was buggy, used more ram and more battery life than BLN. You never answered my question about why you considered putting bln in to the kernel an issue, and frankly, I'm starting to think you're just trying to troll.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Why discover something else that BLN already does for us? If I have a function, Im not going to go download other programs that do the same thing. Im not about to clog up my phone with redundant functions/programs. IMO thats probably why people havent had the need to go find a program that BLN already does for them (aka discovered NoLED).
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
I think the next question that all of us are really asking is, are you getting a kick back every time NoLED gets downloaded from the market? You have an argument that this application is so much better, the developer has decided to use BLN which many others use and find no problems with. So its pretty hard to understand why you keep pushing the issue. If you don't like the feature, turn it off or find another kernel. We won't be heartbroken.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I dunno why there's such a big deal on with BLN being cooked into the kernel, despite being a NoLED user. Either way, I'll keep it short and sweet.

Some people prefer BLN. Some people prefer NoLED. I like NoLED more. Simple as that. If you don't like the kernel, go compile your own kernel or use another one. SpeedMod is getting outdated anyways. But just because it's outdated doesn't mean it's a bad kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Froyo itself is getting outdated... hence the anticipation of the new GB Speedmod kernel that Harcore is cooking up.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Putting tertiary functionality into the kernel is simply bad practice. That should be done as add-on software, which in this case would mean a solution like NoLED. Buggy?? huh? NoLED is pretty good, both on stock and Serendipity. I'm not being a troll, I just legitimately hate bad practices in software (not to say that stock isn't a sclerotic disaster...). RAM doesn't matter until you run out, which has never happened to me even with a zillion more apps open than I should have, and battery doesn't matter in this case, as what good is a phone if I don't know when I have a text? I make it through most days on a single charge, which is impressive for an phone with 3G and an AMOLED screen.

I don't even know who develops it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Still going at this? Why don't you rage at hardcore and all the other kernel developers then for implementing tweaks that you don't need, such as IPv6 or OC/UV or whatever?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
So adding features is bad practice? It's a simple, elegant solution to a problem (no notification led) that a majority of people have had with the Galaxy S line. Even if NoLed worked 100% as intended, BLN still has better battery life performance. However, when I tried NoLed, I found it buggier and not as reliable as BLN (my personal experiences).

Besides, as has been mentioned multiple times, no one is stopping you from disabling BLN and using NoLed. .
[Captivate Android Development] Mr. Clown:
From your posts you are leaning to one. One thing is to provide constructive arguments to improve and help other dev's work in the sprit of improveness for the benefit of the whole community.

The other is falling to negative criticism (like you stated as "garbage" the dev's worked) and trying to shield this as "constructive"...

Sorry, but you are wrong. I will encourage you to desist from posting this kind or argumments, since you are disturbing the whole thread and not contributing in a positive spirit of this particular development.

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Please don't feed him by answering him. He's on my ignore list, yet I'm still reading his comments in everyone elses threads.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Have you tried using NoLED again? It's pretty well developed now and I'm not having any problems with it anymore. I didn't have much problem in the past either.
[Captivate Android Development] Espaa Valorum:
Your arrogance is what is rubbing people the wrong way. It's fine to bring up the NoLED alternative so that people can choose for themselves what they like. But you take it further than that by effectively doggedly insisting that your opinion is the right one. People disagree with you. Just accept that and move on. You can't accomplish anything good by continuing what you are doing.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
If its such bad practice, then all of us that use CWM to flash our phones should just take that off because that's adding functionality at the kernel level. At that rate, we should also remove any memory tweaks that improve performance. Oh and remove any of the display settings that help those with screens that aren't consistent from adjusting so they have a better display.

We should also remove features that wipe the cache and battery stats that help increase phone battery life and reduce problems after flashing. */end sarcasm

Your argument is ridiculous, its in the kernel for a reason. If you have such a problem with this feature, go find a new kernel and stop wasting our time on this thread. We enjoy this kernel because it gives our phone the functionality that we want. Also, where is this bad practice documented? You keep telling us its such bad practice yet never have supporting evidence to help your argument.

What experience do you have that dictates how the development works? You create a kernel that is as stable and high performing as what hardcore has done without BLN and you'll have some cred. Until then, go find a new kernel and quit complaining about this one.

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
You searched forums but couldn't find any related posts? That's a little hard to believe.

Anyway, search for "Captivate soft brick" and follow from there.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Which version of Odin did you download? Also, are you sure the version of speedmod you downloaded was the Odin version and not the CWM version?
[Captivate Android Development] johnwayne007:
I have the newest version of odin, and yeah i made sure i had the non CWM kernel before trying this. I did get my phone working again using this method

. Relatively easy fix but i was scared for a minute, thanks for the direction Joecascio2000 i was searching for "Download error" and couldn't find anything related. I still want to flash my phone I just dont know why that didnt work, i did everything to the letter in the tutorial.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
My question was more if you were using the oneClickOdin or the more robust one that allows you to choose files. Glad you were able to get things working again.
[Captivate Android Development] cybercoaster:
OK, I cant seem to find what the difference in the files are. I am currently running the latest Cognition. Do I sill need to install one these? What is HZ=? What does BIGMEM mean?

SpeedMod K13E with HZ=250 CWM

SpeedMod K13E with HZ=250 CWM BIGMEM (355MB RAM, no 720P video recording)

SpeedMod K13E with HZ=500 CWM

SpeedMod K13E with HZ=500 CWM BIGMEM (355MB RAM, no 720P video recording)
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Hz is the frequency. Typically we all use 500. BigMem allows the android to have more memory available to it. If you looked at task manager you'd see that the phone only has ~339 MB of available memory even though the system spec is 500MB. Other resources on the phone use the memory so it isn't available in the user space. This version will give you a bit more memory but you lose 720 video recording. Hope that helped.

CWM recovery after Odin One Click

If I do a factory reset and wipe cache through Speedmod CWM. Then use Odin oneclick to go back to stock Eclair, when it deletes the speedmod kernel will it delete the CWM that came with Speedmod? Will I be able to restore from CWM if this happens.

1. hold [vol-up]+[pwn] until screen go black

2. when screen turn black, hold [vol-down]+[pwn] immediately !

3. now, yellow download mode is ON

4. start Odin (don't plug cable before odin)

5. plug cable

6. install driver if needed, check device manager if there is any samsung driver is missing

7. load kernel to PDA, then start.

8. wait flashing, done.

I have a samsung captivate i896 (Rogers) with a stock 2.2 rom (rooted). I applied the the speedmod and Now I find myself with almost 13h of battery life before the phone completely drains. I should mention that I once charged my phone to full, unplugged it and left it on the kitchen counter and went to school, came back 10 hours later to find the phone nearly dead with wifi, gps, bt OFF.

Anyone else with a rogers captivate and stock rom with this kernel find there to be a battery issue?
[Captivate Android Development] morpheus_1987:
I had the exact same battery drain problem with stock 2.2 Rogers rooted. Speedmod was draining 4% per hour compared to 1%/hr on stock which is why I've gone and switched to supercurio's stock + voodoo injected lagfix kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870760

It doesn't have voodoo sound, sharpness, or BLN, but since the only difference was kernels and not apps/settings, I suspect it had to be one of the "features" of this kernel that was causing the battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Considering that this is a kernel for i9000 based roms, im not surprised it didn't work properly.

Hmm never really occurred to me after reading the OP since it said it was for AT&T Captivate (SGH-i897). Would that mean I should have used it with a i9000 modem?

I chose stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I896-UXJL1-unsigned-update.zip from here:
