I don't know anything about the MAC but I had a similiar issue when I used SGS Kernel flasher with my PC. It would show up as a CD drive so I couldn't copy anything to the phone. I installed the attached file in clockwork recovery and that corrected the issue. Might be the same issue.

EDIT: Forgot to mention since I could not copy anything to internal SD with mass storage, I used ADB to copy it to the internal SD. If you do not know how to do this, you can flash back to the other kernel, copy the file, then go back to Firebird kernel to flash the fix in CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Welcome aboard :). Rom Manager is the GUI for clockwork recovery (CWM). If you have Rom Manager installed on your phone you can access CWM from there or the recovery menu on your phone.

I am running phoenix rising 2.5. Do I need to disable voodoo before flashing this kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Not sure what's "technically" correct but Ive never disabled lag fox when swapping kernels and never had an issue. You should be fine.

YMMV
[Captivate Android Development] Billabond1:
Ok. I always get confused on when to disable or not. Thanks.

Is there no link for v0.4 or am I blind?

edit: Nevermind, found it. Thanks DG
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Most people dont ever have problems but there is always that amount of cases. I always disable lag fix, and or tweaks if you are coming from a kernel such as Speedmod whether its flashing a ROM or kernel, it only takes another 5 minutes and rather be safe than sorry
[Captivate Android Development] redstar299:
thank you..better safe than sorry
[Captivate Android Development] redstar299:
KeithT:

Thank you very much for that file... I have no idea what it was but I installed at now when I updated to Firebird 2 v0.4 it shows up! Thanks again..!
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Maybe a weird anomaly but switched to this from the latest Speedmod kernel and so far on standby after 2 hours I am still at 100% battery. With BLN on although I have not had any notifications yet.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Glad it worked for you!
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I thought I would share here what Supercurio posted to me in another thread regarding Voodoo Sound settings not sticking when you reboot the phone. He is working on a fix this weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] allanrq:
I am running Andromeda and using SGS Kernel Flasher, I loaded up this kernel (Firebird 2 v.04) and have not had this problem on my Mac. However I did flash Phoenix v4.03 ROM this morning and when using this kernel I did experience the same exact problem you describe. I wonder if this is more specific to a Rom and not the kernel. My .002
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
You can disable BLN in advanced ULK settings, right?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
You can actually download BLN-free or pro from the market and disable it from there. I don't believe this kernel has the option to disable it in the advanced recovery menu, not 100% sure though.
[Captivate Android Development] G.Hook:
Well, so far it seems to be a lot better with the Firebird 2 kernel (on my phone anyway). I flashed 10.1, had bad battery life then flashed it again, did a bump charge and flashed the Firebird 2 kernel and it is lasting a lot longer. Maybe I had a bad flash on the rom, but it seemed like it helped the most just flashing Firebird2.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Voodoo Sound 2 hell yeah... sound heaven!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Dunno if my ears are clogged, or if my Sennheiser CX300 aren't good enough, but I don't notice any sound difference.

I'm using custom equalizer btw on whatever music player my current ROM comes with, which in this case is the Samsung music player that's in Cognition.

Oh I'm no audiophile.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I am an audiophile, been in the industry for a while. Voodoo sound is so good (by portable media standards) it can actually make your music sound worse. It exposes poorly recorded material and mp3's compressed to within an inch of their lives. If the source isn't good, you'll know it.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I posted this issue on the kernel flasher thread and neldar replied that its an issue with some customs kernel, and since i only specified firebird, he said he'd mention it to DG.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I have a variety of quality of music on my captivate and i usually use the headphone jack for aux out to aux in in my car. HUGE difference!! FANTASTIC work!!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Get rid of the equalizer, using one on already equalized sound is just asking for trouble. Make sure your audio files are of decent quality. Install the voodoo app from the market, tweak the options, you will hear the difference.

ditto :)
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I was listening to high quality recordings today as well and was impressed with the results. Supercurio doesn't get enough credit. I'm happy DG gives him props :), its well deserved.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
You're right.

Faulty memory on my part.
[Captivate Android Development] Afake:
Ohh ok thanks for the info.
[Captivate Android Development] hayslett4:
Great Work! Thanks!

Just wanted to say THANKS for the continued updates and improvements on this kernel. Battery life is around 11 hours, smooth operations, GPS locks on like a champ... and the start-up screens are great! Thanks and keep up the great work! :D
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
So just put the equalizer back to stock? I do have the Voodoo app from the Market and the only thing I can adjust is the volume, unless I got the wrong voodoo app from the Market.

My MP3 files should be of decent quality... They're all at least 192kbps, with the majority of them being 320kbps. Never compressed them. Hopefully they aren't up-converted either.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
The app was recently updated to control more, check the market. You should put the eq at flat and let voodoo do the rest.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Yep just checked it out. Looks like mine is the first gen Voodoo... Thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
There is a paid version that has many options but it is expensive so have not tried yet. I am gonna get the paid version next week on pay day lol

Edit : damn sorry just tried the free version and it has a lot of options with 0.4 kernel

Okay, I will give it a whirl...
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
So in ROM Manager where do I load up the kernal? I'm not seeing the option...
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
the kernel you downloaded is a .zip file, put it on SDcard then install it by CWM
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
"flash clockwork recovery" then boot into regular recovery and reinstall packages (may have to twice) to get to clockwork recovery then find install zip from sd and select the firebird 2 kernel

Just flashed the firebird2 zip with sgs kernel flasher and it works great. Just didn't see it posted and thought if anyone wanted to know.

Is it me or does haptic feedback seems stronger all of a sudden. On the keyboard that is. I didn't think that the kernel would make a difference (or expect that) just seems strong at this moment. Thanks for your hard work again DG.

What modems can we use with this? I'm assuming Captivate modems such as the Cognition 3 JL1, and UGJL2 and TLJL3?

Also, will bluetooth calls be enabled in the near future? It's illegal to drive and talk on the phone unless you have bluetooth now, and well, I'm not fond of driving and calling anyways.

Quick question, over in the Cog3 thread you mention that installing this on Cog3 will make bluetooth headsets not work. Is that just for using this with Cog3, or other roms as well? Assuming just Cog since I don't see that mentioned in the notes in the first post here but just want to be sure before using it with perception 10.1
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Cog3 is the only rom on here that uses captivate as a base so that will be the only one that it causes bluetooth issues with...any of the others should work fine. I am using it with serendipity and it works perfect...

[Captivate Android Development] ckelvin87:
DG, I've just flashed the cog 3.03 yesterday and it's great, thanks!!

I wanted to try out the FB2 Kernel for cog 3.03 and I was wondering if I have to disable the voodoo lagfix first before flashing this kernel. And would the JL1 Modem on cog 3.03 be compatible with this? because someone told me that I have to use an i9000 modem for the FB2 kernel because it's also based on i9000.
[Captivate Android Development] fatbas202:
You are right about what CIFS stands for. What you may not realize is that it is what Windows uses for file sharing.

In Linux world, having a CIFS kernel module will allow the kernel to mount a CIFS share. Essentially what this means is that if you want to access a Windows machine's shares, you don't have to use ES File Explorer (or any other app) to see these files but rather have the system mount the share in the kernel - where it is supposed to be done. This means that you can use any program installed on your phone to modify any file on your Windows box (without copying it locally first) - and not just the programs in your CIFS-aware app like ES File Explorer.

I've verified that CifsManager, the free app from the market, works with v0.4. It doesn't play well with DNS, so you have to use IP addresses, but it does allow you R/W access to the file shares (although I had to use Root Explorer to remount them from RO to RW). This requires WiFi unless you are doing some magic routing and you are, um, unsmart enough to have a CIFS/Samba file share open to the world.

I hope this helps explain it a bit.

WAY TO GO, DG!!!! Great job dude! Thank you for adding this to your kernel.

Edit 0: I recommend making a folder in /sdcard/ (like /sdcard/cifs) and mounting your shares in there. Most apps cannot see the default, yet correct location of /mnt/cifs/<whatever>.

[Captivate Android Development] doreyu:
After flashing this, it appears that now my internal SD card is mounting to my computer as a write-protected CD drive and I cannot copy files to it.

Is there a fix for this?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Dont flash with sgs-kernel-flasher.That thread mentions that it's an issue with some custom kernels. Use odin or clockwork. If you already did, try again, it may just be a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] doreyu:
I originally used clockwork to do the flash.

I moved a different kernel to my external and used root explorer to move it to my internal. Just flashed that to see if it will help.

edit: yeah that fixed it, it must have been a bad flash or my d/l was corrupt.

So, Ive attempted to flash this to my captivate using cwm, And I did have the OCLF From the market and I didn't disable that before i installed this kernel. So i got stuck on the Firebird Kernel Splashscreen forever so i pulled the battery out and went back to my stock rom. So should I disable the one click lag fix before installing this kernel??? Thanks! (Sorry , I just got my captivate switching from a HTC Kaiser and pretty noobish on this captivate stuff)
[Captivate Android Development] iiBenxD:
Dg, I hope I'm not the only one who's naive, but could you please change the download link? I saw the title say Firebird 2 v0.4 for almost 24 hours now, but neglected to download it because the download link still says v0.3... I doubt I'm the only one who thought that you hadn't updated the link ):
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
I would disable oclf. It isn't needed and is inferior to voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgunn:
Thanks a ton for all the info, had seen it mentioned a few times but wasn't sure what it was for.

I tried JL2 and while I could hear the other person fine, they said I sounded far away. Even stranger, they said when I was on bluetooth I sounded better than the regular phone. Have you tried this with JK4?
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I don't mean to sound harsh here but there is no such thing as a decent quality MP3 and ALL MP3s are compressed. I rip everything in FLAC format. It is a lossless compression. If you have good quality playback hardware (heck, even mediocre hardware) you WILL hear the difference between the best quality MP3 and a FLAC file. I have about 100 Gig of FLAC files on my PC. I stream them to my phone using AudioGalaxy.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Oh boy here we go.

For the most part, people won't be able to tell difference between 320kbps and FLAC. Hell, make it 192kbps. Because of their average hardware (from sound cards to headphones), or their generic music, or simply because they are not used to it nor care.

The average person has no need for FLAC.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
No haven't tried JK4. It's a pretty popular modem, but not quite as popular as TLJL3, UGJL2, and KP1 from the looks of it. I want to use TLJL3 and KP1 but I "can't"

+1. I can't tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps MP3 files, assuming they weren't up-converted from a lower bitrate.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
You are probably right. MP3s used to be just fine for me and I have more than a few CD's in MP3 format. However, 128k is the lowest I would ever consider using. There is not much difference in file size between a 320k MP3 and a FLAC file. Why wouldn't you use the better sounding format?

dg, did you change the way charging & 100% is handled in a recent Firebird update (0.3/0.4)? My phone was dropping to 98-96% when I unplugged it, and after the most recent Perception or Firebird2 upgrades it's been staying at 100%.

Seems like a strange thing to complain about, I know. This article says the drop is beneficial for the the battery long term, though with all the complaints I could certainly understand you changing it.

Of course it could all be in my head too. :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Just flash the v0.4, install the BLN app and disable it. My phone stayed alive 20hrs with this kernel and BLN off yesterday.

Battery drain? After recalibrating my battery properly, I get the best battery life I ever had with this kernel! Especially v0.4
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It has nothing to do with the battery calibration, the phone cannot enter sleep mode. Doesn't happen to everyone, but it is reproducible.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Battery calibration does nothing to the actual physical properties of the battery, nothing period. It therefore cannot make the battery last longer in any way shape or form.

All it can do is change the data that's stored for the battery stats and through that the battery charge notification icon.

I know this will get everyone saying not true and worked for me, etc., but it does nothing more than just using the phone through a few charges cycles after a flash which always seems to improve battery life according to the battery icon. It's still the same Lion battery with the same dielectric in it, just the stats are more accurate as to where the battery is at in its dis-charge cycle.

I know i stirred the pot but that soup is done. :cool:

BLN?

Well my first full day of running Firebird2v.04, and battery didn't even make it 12 hours. Not going to give up on it yet, going to give it at least another day or 2 to see if it straightens out. I do have a question tho regarding the BLN functionality. Right now I have it enabled, from what DG said it's only supposed to consume 0.1% more battery. Is BLN supposed to flash the leds under the home buttons, or are they supposed to stay lit up? Asking this because mine stay lit up, which I believe is causing a drain on the battery. Thinking this because I was running Firebird2v.03 no BLN and was going 16+ hours on a single charge with like 25-30% battery left before I would plug it in. Almost forgot, running this on non-modified Perception 10.2
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
First of all, you can choose "stay lit up" or "blink" in BLN control app.

Second, blinking use more battery than "stay lit up"

Finally, you can disable BLN in the BLN control app to save some precious battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
How does blinking use more battery? Did the dev publish this somewhere?
