CPU cycles VS LED lights... much easier for it to turn the light on until no more notifications than for it to turn on, then turn off for 500ms, then on, then off then on and off. LOTS of cpu used. lots of power used.

hi guys, I just flashed cog 3.03 the other day and finally had the guts to try out changing the kernel and modem. (noob here) :)

So I disabled the lagfix first then flashed the kernel from CWM recovery, but instead of rebooting i also flashed the modem already from CWM Recovery. Is that ok? I can see the at&t deathstar on the boot screen, and my modem on the about phone says UGJK4, the one I used. But the kernel just says 2.6.32.9 without any additional info like "firebird 2 etc etc".

Did I flash this correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
The new kernel build is a HUGE success, its a power sipping princess even with bln! I have a lot more tweaking to do but it should be ready before the weekend.

No matter what I do, my internal SD mounts as a CD drive. I have reflashed, used odin, redownloaded, cleared dalvic cache etc. After doing a stock/master clear wipe and it is still doing it! This problem happened before, but flashing with CWM fixed it. Now, nothing I do fixes it.

I am using Serendipity 4.3. All of the other kernels I have used work (Glitterballs, Speedmod). Does anyone have any ideas?

Hmmm...on the 3rd line in the OP it says "Works with any modem". Now, if it must be I9000, that should probably be changed to "Works with any i9000 modem".

By the way, downloading now. The title of the thread says Firebird2 v0.4. but teh file that is downloading says Firebird2-0.zip.

Is it a valid assumption that it is downloading the latest version w/o name change to v04?

Can you be sure to have the earpiece volume louder...? I had to change kernels only because of the low volume issue.

I'm having the same problem. Running Perception 10.2 confirmed I could mount usb fine. Flashed to Firebird 2 kernel and immediately thereafter usb now mounts as read only... Shows as a CD drive from Windows.
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
Just wanted to post here that I've been a loyal user of Firebird since the beginning. Then, by accident, I was loading a ROM that happened to have hardcore's Speedmod, and I was STUNNED by the speed difference. :eek:

I can honestly say, without placebo effect, that Firebird feels considerably laggier/jerkier than Speedmod. If they are both running EXT4 on data and the 2 other places (I forget their locations), as well as on the /system, why does Firebird feel so much slower?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It looks faster because you probably didn't restore your apps yet, but believe me, Firebird 2 is faster.

Or maybe it's the ROM that you are now using that makes the difference

I am having this problem no matter what I use to flash. Odin, CWM. Does not matter. I do not know what else to do to get it to work. Both Speedmod and Glitterballs kernels are working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Did you try flashing that file in the link provided?
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
Hah! Sorry, need to pay more attention. That worked! Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
It is neither.

I did extensive testing last night between the two kernels. I'm using Perception 10.2 right now, fully loaded with all my apps (about 46 of them). Speedmod unquestionably has the edge for smoothness. I also loaded ALL the other major ROMs for the captivate, and tried both Firebird 2 as well as Speedmod, and the end result was the same. With Speedmod, menus scroll much more smoothly, startup time is faster (don't know why), and this is all with properly flashing the kernel, clearing the dalvik cache, and allowing time for the caches to rebuild.

Firebird 2 is not slow by any stretch of the imagination. It's just that after going to Speedmod and then going back to Firebird, I feel sad because it feels like I'm losing speed/smoothness. I do have to give Firebird credit that it seems to be more compatible with different ROMs out there; Speedmod tends to conflict with some of my apps, and I don't know why.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
I guess it is personal experience. Most and myself say fb is faster but sm does not drain the batt as fast. I have tested both kernels for the past weeks switching back and forth and I just can not leave fb kernel, speed mod acts the way fb does with you. Could be that your on perception and I'm on phoenix but honestly I'm firm believer that every captivate just acts different and every one just needs to find the combo for them .

When I say test, I do not test with any bench marks, its all just real world personal experince :)

[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
Yes, I agree. I never ever test with benchmarks on a phone; it's pointless and stupid. Everything is based on real world experience. And in that respect, Speedmod just feels faster.

I guess I'll just wait for the next version of Firebird to come out. DG said a few posts back that it's going to be really good, so I can't wait!

Cog3.04

Just a bit of confusion on my part i think

What kernel comes with Cog3.04? (BTW, i just flashed cog3.04 and its amazing). If its not firebird 2, why should I use firebird 2 rather than the kernel that comes with cog3.04?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Any info on what exactly this zip does to fix the problem? Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
I belive the cognition kernel is just the stock kernel with ext4 (voodoo) applied. Someone correct me if im wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
In this your wrong...The benchmarking apps available are a viable tool to use provided they are used in the proper context.....and since each Captivate reacts differently to all of the various roms/modems/kernels/tweaks...it is the only logical and verifiable way of seeing just how much difference is attainable for each phone,with each change installed on it. While the scores may reflect differently because of the various lag fixes..and in such context are usually useless when concerning cpu scores...this in itself means nothing when using them as a visual diagnostic set of tools to get a base measurement of the various changes and visually determine the impact of all the various changes we can install.There is more changes to these than just the cpu scoring since we have kernels that are effecting audio and also the GPU now.. Eyeballing changes so to speak..is subject to personal bias and preconceived beliefs in 1 choice over the other..Having a physical measurement is the easiest way of telling if your eyes are deceiving you...BTW...Speed Test is also a benchmark..and we depend on that one to actual see the differences the various modems make...;)

Anyone else get all their apps erased/deleted after installing the new kernel? Luckily I live by the mantra "Backup is your friend". :D

No, he had a no bln version and he has now gone back to "BLN only" verisons. This doesn't mean Blinky won't work.

[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
DG, I'm having one problem. Not huge but hope you can help or fix. I use the VA GREEN THEME from the i19000 theme section. Well when I have firebird and the theme paired together when I mount my phone to the pc my internal sd mounts as a cd rom drive and write protected. I have tried the other kernels out there for the cappy and they don't have that problem. I know I could use one of those kernels but I can't live with out firebird kernel now lol. Right now I just transfer things to my external sd and then use root explorer to transfer to my internal.

So I'm definitely not complaining dg if it doesn't get fixed Im still gonna use this combo, I love your kernel that much lol, but hoping you can help me out ;)

I have an external SD card as well, so that must not be it. I've never seen either (internal/external) show up as a CD drive and have flashed all 5 firebird kernels. The theme shouldn't matter either. Did you try the fix back about 20 pages?

I switched over from SpeedMod to try out Voodoo sound v3, and it's worth it, the audio rocks.

One issue I'm having though. I'm using headphones with a mic and button that I use to pause/play and fast forward, as the Samsung music app allows. Unfortunately, if I lock the phone and let it alone for a few minutes, the button does not resume paused music unless I bring up the lock screen.

Anyone know what could be causing this issue? I'm going to try Speedmod back with Voodoo 2 to see if anything changes.

Edit: Speedmod still running voodoo still responds after more than 10 min, this is isolated to something different in either Firebird or voodoo sound 3 I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Thanks for those files. I only tried the 2.2 one and it worked for me.

What I don't understand is what "vold" is, and what actually went wrong. Did I do something wrong, or is it a bug in Perception? Bug in the Firebird kernel? All I did was start from stock, then flashed Perception 10.2 then Firebird2 0.5.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
It has something to do with 2.2 kernels using lun1 and lun2 for the mounting of internal SD and external SD and 2.2.1 using lun0 and lun1 for the mounting of the same SDs or vice versa. All I know is if u save those two zips, you will never have to worry about swapping kernels that are 2.2 source to 2.2.1 source. Those fixes contain the correct vold.fstab for those different scenarios and keep in mind this doesn't happen eveytime a user goes from one kernel to another.

DG,

Thank you agaiun for amazing work. i love firebird.

one thing that i always thought is an issue was the voice calls over regular headphones, from what i've read. i see xcaliburinhand found a fix for that, and its now implemented in SpeedMod's newest kernel. i appricciate his work,but i prefer using your kernel. it feels smoother and even better with battery consumption.

can this fix be integrated in one of the next updates?

forgive my poor dectation...
