You can always use Voltage Control to limit the speed of the CPU. Sure it requires a couple taps, but if you want to extend the battery life and charge your battery less, then that's one of the better options.

Edit: I'll give SuckerPunch Voodoo #9 a try, then the #59 one. However I'm still interested in what you meant xtreme by your Captivate liking #59 non Voodoo more.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
X did you flash the oc one or just the 500 hz #59?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
They're both the same...

SuckerPunch-#59-CWM.zip (5.74 MB, 338 views)

SuckerPunch-#59-1000hz-CWM.zip (5.74 MB, 153 views)

So these are the same files? Learn something new everyday!!! I just assumed they were different. So is this oc right from the get go? So what really is the difference between the files?
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
actually thats exactly what i do right now. im just so lazy that i want a widget switch or something :p

i may have an idea what xtreme meant as ive tried both kernels. They both felt equal in all the areas that mattered BUT the speedmod based kernel seemed...idk.. more optimized somehow to the firefly rom?? anywho great work as always xtreme this thing looks like sex on the beach on my Cappy! :D

also to note above the 1000hz kernel gives better "smoothness" but i personally dont see enough of a difference to matter...it also seems to suck a bit more juice than default...again these are debateable hence why we get 2 versions
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
just flashed it, and it does indeed have all the languages.

muchas gracias!

suckerpunch #59

what do ya know, i flashed #59 last nite... so far so good. i was looking for a better combo for my cappy, as an individual.......;)

i flashed the oc/uv version just to see the difference. volage control is a cinch. you apply for now or save as boot settings.

i used the setting that were displayed as a stable config. 1120mhz

only a day so far but battery seems better even with oc...

couple of pennies.

I noticed that when I have rescan media disable media scanner, MIUI music doesn't work if I restart the phone. Anyone else getting this?
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
geokilla my music and extra ringtones on my external sd card with the rescan media enabled did not show up. Enabling the media scanner to work again they showed up. I really liked it was way faster with it on, then could not figure out why the phone was not ringing...lol. Once I turned it off all the music and ring tones show up!!
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
i've had many glitches with media scanner disabled.

speaking miui music..... i REALLY would like to use the dark one from previous updates.

is it more than the apk i need to use an older version?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
The voodoo based kernel was really fast and had no problems whatsoever, except that it drained my battery quite fast with minimal usage. I did give it three to four days to settle in.

The speedmod based just seems to work a lot smoother for me. It is sipping my battery around 1-2% or less per hour. In my books, that is HUGE!!!

Again, it is just personal preference, and I am not saying everyone will experience these exact results, but it is worth a shot.

EDIT: for those wondering which one I flashed. It was the normal one and not the 1000hz one.

I am 90% sure right now, that this will be the default kernel for FF 2.7
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
good stuff if i can run trillian all day and get 10-12 hours that will be nice on just cellular data

i get around 6-8 hours with trillian running all day
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
If you change the default kernel to suckerpunch, will you include some warning and perhaps short instructions on how to disable the current lagfix and re-enable with voodoo?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
You wont need to disable. I am not going to use voodoo lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Not a fan of miui at all. I get a lot of random music playing when my phone is idle. I also have it start playing when I remove my earphones after talking on the phone. Seems to happen when my phone rings using an mp3 then I plug my phones in and talk then end the conversation and a few mins later unplug. Not all the time but it happens at work so a bit bad to have eminem blaring for no good reason at my desk. I also get the file not supported issue a lot and have to clear miui's cache to fix it.

I only use the stock player but don't want to remove miui in case its used for mp3 ringtones and their selection.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
[Ok so I wrote this last night right before xda decided to shut down for a couple hours. I'll go ahead and post it....]

Well I guess the thing is for us regulars is that it really doesn't matter what you put as default since we most likely will just use the update package. But I know it seems a lot of people like using whatever is the latest release, although in my mind a long time without an update could just mean it is stable... It might encourage new users to try it though.

I'm with you on the voodoo suckerpunch, didn't particularly like it. I never installed the oc/uv one since i have no need/desire to oc. I overlooked the incredibly obvious fact that i don't actually have to oc with it.:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
Hi xtreme,

Thanks for trying to continue to make FireFly better. If I have 2.6 can I just installed Suckerpunch #59 1000Mhz on top of SpeedMod, I would not have to reflash FireFly. Can I assume that I don't have to install or mess up with OC if I have the 1000 MHz kernel.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
x, have you tried the paragon kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Yes you can. No need to reflash ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I have never tried the SuckerPunch #59 (or any of its earlier ver.). I think I will do so now just to check it out. I do, however, agree that simply because it is updated more either of the SP kernels should be used.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Both my cousin and my captivate swapped to suckerpunch voodoo this morning. He's going back to USC so lets see how that would affect him, if any. So far I'm getting battery drain similar to when I was on speedmod, which is pretty bad. I undervolted too by 100mV.

Sent from my Samsung i896 running FireFly. Awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Could you tell me if FM radio from Rogers ROM would eork on Firefly?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Nope not yet, I hear good things about it, but is it feature rich like SuckerPunch or SpeedMod?

Also, it is to be noted that I am not using any sort of voltage control on suckerpunch #58 (I know #59 is out, I will put that on later)
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
I was also having issues with MIUI such as headphone button jacking. I got rid of it and use Rings Extended to help pick ring tones instead.
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
i also heard good things about it but decided to try out suckerpunch with undervolting (OC at 1200 i think..) going to test it out for a few days with battery and see how it does.

like speedmod, i think SP is more updated than paragon

i'm not sure about the battery tweaks though. I think thats the main thing I'd like to find out since speed is optimized (at least fine for me)
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i'm cool with suckerpunch for 2.7.

i might try it out now, as all this talk is getting me curious.
[Captivate Android Development] wbcollins:
I have used tried both of the suckerpunches. Suckerpunch voodoo didn't work great for me. I seemed to get FC's and battery drain, but it probably a bad flash. The speedmod based suckerpunch worked well enough and I have no objection to that being the base kernal for FireFly. However, despite things like capping at 800Mhz and undervolting a little, I never saw a huge improvement in battery life, if any, over speedmod 250hz, which I'm using at the moment. I also cap speedmod at 800MHz using SetCPU. For my uses, FireFly works very well capped at 800MHz with lagfixs enabled.

I'll probaby try suckerpunch #59 again for a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
existz just posted the following below in the SuckerPunch-Voodoo thread, so maybe you want to hold off on changing the kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
This also did not work for me
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Suckerpunch-Voodoo is where it's at.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Well X my bluetooth loves the SuckerPunch #59 and the Telus Modem T959TLJL3. Very stable and fluid, to early for the battery but I give a thumbs up for change in the kernel!!!

Here is a dark miui music apk. Is this the one you are requesting?

Drop attached apk into /system/app via Root Explorer (or similar). You'll need to remove the miui music apk you are replacing.

Great f'n rom dude. Im missin the samsung touch wiz a bit but the awsomeness makes me forget about it lol. Thanks a ton for this awsome rom
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
If this is your first time flashing a rom with a speedmod kernel, go into CWM advanced ULF options and enable the lagfix and enable the tweaks with (r) next to them. Should remove any lag problems you are having. Also: setting animations to off makes the ROM even faster than before.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Is there any benefit to setting the loops to ext2? If not so I can let them be.

Don't ever do the loops, they just inflate benchmark scores. They do not help real world performance and increase chances of data loss.

Thanks , ifederov.....

I'd have been happy with instructions.... You guys make it pretty easy.

Q, what folder do downloads from xda app go to? I was able to find it using search in super manager, but I wasn't able to instal from there.. I had to download again and instal directly

For the sake of education....

Could I have just taken the apk from 2.3 and done the same?

[Captivate Android Development] mikeDCMDVA:
Ah, thank you! One last question, how to master clear please?

[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Using Odin one click, after you flash back to stock, have your phone on and debugging on. Open Odin and connect your USB then click "master clear".
[Captivate Android Development] mikeDCMDVA:
Ah, thank you. I see there is a "Master Clear" button right next to "Start" on Odin. Haha :)

[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
They are not the same, just a bad comment. I found out the 1000hz one is the oc version and the other is the non oc version.

Thanks for pointing that out, could of mixed some people up!!!
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
SuckerPunch 59 has 2 versions. The regular one is default 100hz. The 1000hz is just that.

They are both OC kernels up to 1.4Ghz.

The 1000hz one is supposed to be smoother depending on what you use your phone for but may consume more battery!
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
The more you ask the more you find out...thanks elisha that corrects what I said and the confusion is less......if only that explanation was given earlier. Darn I now have to try the 1000hz version also!!

Question> if flashing from one kernel to the other with the same lag fix file system then we do not have to disable and then flash and then re enable the lag fix? We can just flash of course first clear the davlik cache etc? Wanting to know the right process...thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i know that it's been asked few times, and it's been communicated that x isn't willing to make it happen, due to legal issues, but i really wish call recording was available, to those that want it as a separate install. is this not possible at all for 2.2? must it be 2.2.1??? if it must be 2.2.1, what is the possibility that firefly can incorporate that feature??? not possible because it is based on 2.2???????

i am getting sick of calling especially cellphone companies, and they promise something, only for me to find out that they didn't follow through when i get the bill. i want a personal record of these business calls i make. i am not liking Rogers and Fido right now. they have a recording of the conversation, but i do not. and that isn't fair.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
You can as long as the lagfix type is the same. Ie a Universal Lagfix kernel to universal lagfix kernel.

If you change to a Vodoo lagfix kernel, it is best to disable first before flashing.

However I have switched from Universal Lagfix to Vodoo without disabling the existing lagfix and luckily had no issues. But it is not recommeded.

I use stock browser, tried dolphi mini, dolphin hd, mozzila firefox and all 4 doesn't work.

Dell is one of the site that doesnt work, I just type dell.ca or dell.com and it will automatically redirect to dell mobile site, but it doesnt load.

The problem with this is I go to forums and when I click an affiliate link (so the forum gets money for each click ppl make) it goes no where. It can't seem to decode it and redirect me to the appropriate site...i'ts really frustrating because I'd have to go to the site directly and search for whatever I'm searching for, takes a long tmie and a lot of effort when every other site I want to go to doesnt load.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Thanks elisha I will make notes now of not only of what file system that is used what kind it is. Makes sense now.

Okay full of questions tonight, what are the differences between 100hz,250hz, 500hz and 1000hz kernel files? In SP #59 why would one choose the 1000hz kernel and what activities would they be doing to get benefit from using it?

SMS timestamps 5 hours early + WIFI problem

Anyone on Rogers have this problem? My incoming SMS are timestamped 4 hours early (with daylight saving). I flashed the Mms.apk from Phoenix ultimate and it works but not themed. Also, my WIFI speed seems very slow on this ROM 340kbps d/l and 120kpbs u/l from SpeedTest.net.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
There's a sms/mms timestamp fix in the first post. Flash it and it should fix the timestamp issue.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Lagfix pretty much changes the RFS filesystem to EXT4 iregardless of which method (Vodoo vs Universal) you use. The kernel does not interact with what's within the filesystem directly or alter the data. It just formats from one to the other and back.

From what I can tell, they are just implemented differently (Vodoo vs Universal).

Some kernels are set to implement lagfix upon first boot and others are fully manual.

Extreme mentioned that Vodoo based ones seem to drain more battery and I tend to believe him. I stick to SukerPunch and try out most of his builds.

He's revamping his new kernel which will be released in a few days and I can't wait for it.

As for the Hz value, I'm not entirely sure if it has to do with the refresh rate of the screen or refresh rate of the kernel. That you would have to ask a Dev.

But basically stock captivate kernel is 100Hz or so I'm told. The higher the Hz supposedly the smoother the UI for certain activities. So far I have tried both stock 100Hz and 1000Hz and have not noticed much of a difference.

Maybe the difference will show up in graphics intensive apps or videos. I have no idea so someone else who knows more than me would have to chime in.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Call recording

As it has been stated, call recording won't be coming to FF. I support this decision from X. I believe the legal ramifications greatly outweigh the the ability to record a call for the majority of the community.

If you want call recording, give Phoenix Ultimate a try. Call recording has been included in that build. It is a 2.2.1 based ROM.

The absence of call recording just is not a compelling factor to make me switch off the stable & solid ROM X has provided and supports.

To get higher linpack scores and stuff? How would I do this
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Interesting observation regarding battery. Last night I had the phone charged. I left it overnight not hooked up. Over 6 hours it sat in airplane mode, so no screen, no gps, no wifi and no phone wireless. I lost 30%.

Charged it in the morning and over 6 hours with 40 min screen on, wifi always on, constant change from 3g to edge, lost 28%.

Seems like something in the background is working very hard when it can't get connected. I didn't manage to id which service it is yet, and I have a lot of extra installations, so it may not be from the rom itself.

Do you get the roaming message and icon when you use a non UGXXX modem? Like ZNKP1, TLJL3, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
The differences are in the extras in the lagfix and maybe the technique to reformat, but end result on the file system seems the same. I have switched between kernels without disabling lagfix and it works. Not recommended if you can't afford a trip to stock 2.1, since if you mess it up that is the only solution

everything seems fine, but some times i wonder......

i've been on ff since i got my cappy and have only flashed modems and updates till this kernal.

Question is ; is there subtle symptoms that things got mucked up somewhere?

as in reduced performance or random lagging. i've always had random lagging but don't know what to expect.....

Anyone else havin' trouble upgrading from 2.5 to 2.6 through the Firefly app? I've tried consecutive times and each time it FC's repeatedly upon boot. Luckily I could flash back to 2.5 without issue.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
In terms of subtle differences, it is hard to say since it is very subjective. If it is difficult to tell then it does not matter for daily use. If you have an intensive app, you can check that for comparison, but otherwise it is all about your experience with your phone. I don't see much difference on my phone in performance, so I go with stability and battery life. Once I found something that works, I stopped changing kernels (i admit this with the risk of being kicked out of flashers anonymous :) ).
