[Omnia II General] SoulRaiderX:
Awhile ago, I posted this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=781137

No one has given a viable response to it in 4 months.

Now my phone is actually breaking down. It's running extremely slowly, even on high performance. I still can't access any other skins or themes because the problem in the other thread persists. When I view text messages, they appear blank the second time I open the text message application and I need to restart the application after closing it in the task manager to read them.

I want to fix my phone. I want to flash, hack, do whatever's needed to change it and improve it. I've never flashed it before and I haven't done anything to this smartphone ever since I received it. It is not acting like a smartphone at all right now and I need to fix it.

Unfortunately I can't find any help on this forums. Where do I start? I've been to the Wiki and all it gives me is details on what to do with no starting point or references. I want to reformat, flash, whatever this phone so that I can switch between different themes and OS' on it. I can't do that right now because I don't know how.

My phone is the Samsung i8000 and I'm running Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional (CE OS 5.2.21856(Build 21856.5.0.65)). Please help me.

EDIT: After running a format through the hard reset, my text messaging is fixed and the phone seems to be back up to speed. I'm still unfortunately having problems accessing any sort of Windows Mobile themes though, as seen in this thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=781137).

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The problem with LauncherPro is that it cannot use the TouchWiz Widgets. LauncherPro doesn't have enough Widgets itself to be useful to me (not saying it's useless to anyone else).

Plus the paid version can't be put in the market and probably wouldn't have carrier billing available for it.

But like I said, the Samsung Widget provides the same function of those others.

Hi Guys,

I just got my Captivate couple days ago. I were able to unlock, root, get a new ROM (Cognition v2.3b8) and install some apps. I'm looking to get a new kernel for the ROM. How would I go about flashing it to a different Kernel like SpeedMod K12I ? Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jperiod:
I am a noob here. But I am wondering what are/is the benefits/risk of replacing the kernel that comes with Cog v2.3b8 with another. I recently flashed Cog v2.3b8 from stock (batch 1006), and find this is pretty much as stable as stock. Only issue is with GPS (which was hit and miss on stock). So do the benefits of replacing the kernel in Cog v2.3b8 outweigh the risks?

Thankshttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrian18w:
Well kernels have different features and abilities in them. It depends what you want from your kernel. Some might support BLN while others will have OC/UC or just OC. Various combinations of options. You just need to make sure that the kernel/ROM/modem are from the same family, etc. I9000 or Captivate. If you flash a i9000 kernel into a Captivate ROM you might have issues.

Cog v2.3b8 is a Captivate ROM I believe. You can flash Kernels which are for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
cog runs fine with an i9000 kernel so long as you also use an i9000 modem. i can't run the i9000 roms because of service drops but this set-up is still very good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
Kernel flash

If you want to install a new kernel over the existing kernel,

1. Download the Kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880

2. Go to CWM recovery. (directly or through ROM Manager)

3. Choose the zip from SD

4. Flash and Reboot.

Make sure that there is atleast one boot after the ROM is installed.

To confirm,

check Kernel Version in Settings-> About Phone

You should see something like

hardcore@speedmod-i897-k12i-500hx#116
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
Kernel benefits/risks

Well each kernel has it's own benefits.

For instance, Speedmod uses sztupy's Universal Lagfix unlike other Kernels that use Vodoo Lagfix.

The main differences would be in the speed and battery. Samsung uses 250hz (as default), firebird kernel uses 300Hz and Speedmod uses 500Hz. Doesn't change battery consumption much but provides more smoothness.

Then the RAM Available. It varies from Kernel to Kernel from 300-350MB.

Cappy Kernels are for Captivate Only because of reorientation fixes and button mapping.

Hope this helps

If you want the rom so bad why don't you make one? If you do not have the ability to make a rom then go to work and donate to developers because they don't have to do what they do for free. They could charge, pay pall makes it easy to charge for a download.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroswithoutfire:
So I tried installing the new Bonsai4all 1.1.13 and may have permanetly messed up my phone but you never know. After installing I tried rebooting and it just sits at the samsung screen when it firsts boots up. I never installed the ext4 mod because I thought that the new bonsai had support for both ext4 and rfs support built in. I tried flashing another rom but no matter what i keep getting a write error at some point. So I figured I would try and odin back to stock but my computer will not recognize my phone. I am running windows 7 64bit and have installed the samsung drivers. I have even tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but with no luck. Any help would be appreciated and I refuse to believe I fully bricked my phone since I can get into recovery and download mode. Thank you for your help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leatherneck6017:
First, your phone is not bricked if you can get into d/l mode. Second, to run mammon's newest version of his ROM you must be using clockwork v3.x, which by default formats your file system to EXT4. Third, keep trying with Odin. Try different usb ports, cables, computers, etc. You could try a different version of Odin. Bottom line, it WILL work eventually.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spl2181:
I've used ODIN a couple times to return to stock. Last time I used my 64-bit Windows 7 desktop and had problems. I switched to a laptop running the 32-bit version and it worked perfectly on the first try. Any chance you can try a different PC?

Did he include both script languages or something? I was under the impression that he was using the Edify script now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koadic:
As far as I am able to tell, the older version of CWM supports both types of scripts (as the EXT4-Formatter.zip used to convert to EXT4 uses an edify script, not the other kind (append?)). There are a few other zips floating around that are already using the edify scripts that work just fine on 2.5.1.0 and .2.

From what I have been able to get from various posts is that CWM 3.0.0.5 will support both rfs and ext4 (may be mistaken, not sure), and makes it easier to convert from one to the other (no preconverting necessary), but will only recognize the newer edify scripts.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroswithoutfire:
problem solved

I ended up using my desktop and installing the Samsung drivers that I found over on sdx and was able to odin back to stock dk28. I just don't understand why my laptop won't recognize the phone when I connect it and just says it can't install the drivers. Wonder what could be causing the problem since I have used odin on it before. Oh well at least my phone works and I ended up just installing the ext4 mod and running bonsai and all is going well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroswithoutfire:
Yeah I figured it wasn't bricked I just don't understand why the drivers were not working on my laptop anymore since I had used it to odin to dk28 when it first came out. I thought the newest bonsai had a dual kernel so you could flash it whether you were on rfs still or if you had installed ext4.

and

So only those 2 things are what I need to push to the other rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
No, those just the folders in which the image files are located in. If you push the whole .apks you will overwrite the rom's essential files and it will not boot.

The easiest way would be to extract the .pngs and apply them on the new rom with metamorph.

[Droid X General] bmac51:
I have a lot of apps opening up in the background on their own and eating up my memory. Things like qik, skype, city id, vz navigator open on their own even though I barely use them, if at all. My free memory keeps dropping down to around 30mb. Is there anything I can do?
[Droid X General] dwray:
The best remedy I came up with was rooting my phone, and then installing Titanium Backup and Autostarts. Titanium can freeze the apps you never want to use like some of the crapware that comes preinstalled. For the apps that you do use, but don't want automatically opening all the time, you can use Autostarts to choose which conditions must be met for the app to open, or not open in this case. For both of those applications, you need to be rooted, and unfortunately that's the only way I know of to stop some of the apps you mentioned (especially Skype and CityID).
[Droid X General] mlclm:
You can root to remove the bloatware, but that's it. Also, memory on android isn't the same as on a PC. With a PC, clear memory means a faster system, but the opposite is true for android. Because of the way it manages applications, you want to keep the memory as full as possible.
[Droid X General] zwade01:
+1
[Droid X General] wad3g:
This is the answer. There is a difference in night and day with my X since installed Autostarts and Fission.

If you install Autostarts and use Advanced Task Killer you will be able to kill the apps and they won't continue to run/open in the background. It's extremely worth it.
[Droid X General] AdhvanIt:
Search android task killers on these forums. Then listen to the posts and let android do its thing.

Task killers bog down the system because these apps are shut down while attempting to do something (sync, send data, etc). The app then realizes that it needs to complete the process and restarts. This continues over and over hogging your cpu resources and slowing down the system.

Stop paying attention to the free memory and open apps. This is not an iPhone.
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Except you can put exceptions into what apps to kill.
[Droid X General] zwade01:
Read this

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
[Droid X General] wad3g:
You're missing the point. Autostarts doesn't allow the app to start in the first place so it doesn't bog down the system or hog resources.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is it not Gingerbread that has added the addition of a task killer.

It's not about the free memory, my phone runs faster. I can tell a difference.
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
It's possible we may be talking about different things.

I'm pretty sure closing Angry Birds when it's still open because I Home Screen buttoned out of it won't make a big difference.

If you're referring to closing services while they're running, it's a different story. I skimmed through the article, it looks interesting, but I honestly fail to see how closing an app that's running... even one that might be doing something I don't want it to (like using GPS because it didn't close when I back-arrowed out of it).

When I bought my phone, I installed Weather Bug. Weather Bug kept trying to get my GPS location while I was at work. My phone barely made it through work. Anytime I checked the weather, I had to close the program through a task killer, or I'd have no battery because the phone was trying to use my GPS all day.

How does not closing that save my battery?
[Droid X General] mlclm:
That's not a valid comparison. The android system manages apps, but it doesn't monitor everything that they're doing to prevent a runaway (like weatherbug). Actually read the article, then comment on it. And you do know you can turn gps off, right?
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
I happen to like GPS, and as long as I don't have any runaways, it doesn't drain battery since it's not used.

I'm just saying, for programs like that, Task Killers are great.

I'll read it tomorrow most likely.
[Droid X General] dwray:
I tried Watchdog and a few other task killers before finally shelling out the money for the full version of Titanium. I found that often times, the biggest cpu hog and battery killer was the task killer itself since it has to be constantly running in the background. For apps that you use on a regular basis, the best remedy for saving battery life is to just change the update interval period. By default, a lot of widgets (especially weather) update every 15 minutes, which can be a little tasking on system resources at times. I set mine to 1 hour and that helped tremendously. The main reason I went to the full version of Titanium is because it accomplishes what task killers can't by freezing apps to deny their access to open at all. Instead of removing the bloatware like CityID, VZ Navigator, and others, which will keep your phone from receiving OTA updates, just freeze them and you'll never have to worry about them. Autostarts takes care of the rest for me by allowing full control over the condition changes on the device which trigger certain applications to open. For example, I may use Google goggles occassionally, but I don't want it to automatically open in the background just because I enabled GPS. Before rooting my phone, I would normally average between 14 to 18 hours on moderate usage (with a task killer running I might add). Now, with those two applications managing things more meticulously, and chaning the update interval for all of my widgets, I get around 30 to 36 hours easily.
