[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I agree with 110% but for some people even the simplest things can become Armageddon which is why I post replies and Highlight key points even though it drives most users nuts to see the way I reply but I do it so that even a person who's family tree looks like a totem pole can follow the directions.

I think that the directions should be laid out similar to something like this which I wrote out for a user on Darky's ROM using speedmod.

Download the Voltage App from post #3.

Download the Kernal of your choice I suggest 1120/100 until you can get a hang of it.

Place the Voltage.apk on your SD with your ROM and your kernel of choice

navigate to it with root explorer and make sure your SD is in RW mode and click the Voltage.apk and install it.

Next there's two options one is to use SGS kernel flashing tool or boot into recovery and flash with CWM after reboot go back into recovery and apply tweak options and lagfix options reboot to system.

Launch root explorer again and make SD RW launch Voltage app and adjust settings and save them as boot settings. back out and reboot one last time.

He walked through it without even feeling the fire lol none the less it works.

As far as calibrating your batteries and getting them back on track I have tried various methods alone and none of them worked 100% this is my method a culmination of individual methods plus some additional steps I added that has been proven by a few people over at Darky's Captivate thread.So thanks goes out to battery university and any of the others whose portions have made this successful. Keep in mind although our batteries do not have a memory our charging systems are intelligent so not only do they need to know what the full capacity of the battery is it also needs to know at what point is the battery completely dead in order for it have an accurate life cycle, other wise it only knows how much is full and never knows when it dies. The following method will cover it completely.

1. Charge your battery to 100%

2. Flash the ROM of your choice

3. Add everything you intend to add, kernal,modem whatever.

4. Boot into recovery or go to SGS tools and wipe your battery stats file

5. Put your phone on wall charger and charge to 100% and turn off phone

6. Continue charging with power off until the phone notifies you to disconnect charger, unplug charger and plug it back in immediately.

7. Battery should continue to charge again, and notify you to remove charger once again after it pushes some more juice into the battery, repeat the unplug plug in process once again, do this about 4 times

8. Reboot your phone and wipe the battery stats again and reboot the device once again.

9. Let your battery run drain all the way down until the phone actually shuts itself off, this is usually below 2% charge left in the battery.

10. Re charge your battery to 100% again wipe battery stats and reboot you should be golden now.

You can skip Steps 2 and 3 if you not flashing and just want to calibrate your battery.

Please keep in mind that even if you notice your battery meter going from 100% while plugged in drop to as low as 92% immediately after unplugging or shortly after this is normal and from this point your battery should drain at a slow steady pace.

The point is not to end up killing yourself trying to get your battery to stay at 100% for any extended period of time it won't happen and you will drive yourself insane in the process, what you need to watch is how fast it drains from the drop point until it needs serious charging. Once you start watching those numbers rather than the 100% to 92% drop I believe you will find that you actually have some kick butt battery life now.

I will be in here for sure and I'm willing to help out anyone that may have problems or questions using this kernel for sure. I'm seriously stoked about what you have accomplished.

Any idea what the spread is battery life wise between 1280/500 and SpeedMod 500 yet?

I sincerely urge you to be prepared as it is my prediction that this is going to be the hottest kernel to use very soon. I don't brag or try and push many things but I lit a fire over at the Darky Captivate thread about this kernal and I know they will be coming oh yes they will be coming.....:D
