[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCOmega:
Ok, so here's the deal - I'm not sure how best to explain this so bare with me... basically I've been running various oc/uv kernels for a while now on my Captivate and have had minimal problems with them. I've had the occasional freeze due to too low uv settings but never anything as weird as the freeze issue I'm having now.

I d/led several kernels to play with and ended up with GB's Steam kernel via Serendipity 4.3 (which is the ROM I'm using now), moved onto Suckerpunch's Suckerpunch-SmR-#27-1280-500hz-CWM to Speedmod-Kernel-i897-k12s-cold-500hz-CWM I think, then to GB's rGB-v.4-011811-voodoo-cwm and now I'm on Suckerpunch-SmR-500mz-#32-CWM (or w/e the full name is...) The issue is that my phone is randomly freezing w/o Voltage Control/SetCPU/Galaxy Tuner running or even installed (as is normally the reason for freezing with me and oc/uv kernels). Now I had VC and GT installed but realized GT wasn't going to be much use so I uninstalled and VC was never set to keep settings at boot so I don't think that VC would be the culprit but I'm not sure...but anyways, I noticed that the freezes started the other night after I tried to add a task widget to my ADW EX launcher via SpringPad with the current screen full. When that happened, my phone lost it's mind...it caused the launcher to repeatedly FC and when you would reopen the launcher w/ the home key it would load to a point where the widgets started to load then it was like it hit what was supposed to be that SP widget but then it would realize the screen was full and would FC again. Well, I FINALLY managed to clear the launcher data, retried, no success, uninstalled SpringPad, launcher still FC'd, uninstalled launcher, no FC (as it wasn't there anymore...) but the phone would now randomly freeze up with little to no provocation. I finally broke down and flashed a different kernel to see if it would help and oddly enough it did. It was only when I flashed a non-oc/uv kernel that it would stop freezing. Now I can't see any correlation between the freaking out launcher and the kernel but who knows, right? I tested my theory by leaving the launcher and app uninstalled and reflashed a ov/uc kernel. About a minute after loading the phone would freeze. The few times it would actually run longer than a minute it would die when I was listening to Slacker Radio and I would get a text. The phone would cooperate until I actually SENT the message and then it'd die. I think I rotated the phone at this point, too, and it did the same freezing deal when I was typing up a comment on Facebook and rotated the phone.

So...in the end, I'm stuck. I'm not sure what it could be. I really don't feel like backing up and reflashing so I may just stay w/ a non-oc/uv kernel until I decided to flash again but if anyone has an idea on what to check then I'll be happy to do it. I saw somewhere that if you had an oc/uv kernel w/ boot settings set that you had to clear those out prior to flashing certain kernels or risk conflicts. Don't see how that would apply here since I didn't have boot settings set but figured I'd throw that out there before someone asked.

I'm running Serendipity 4.3 w/ SuckerPunch SmR 500hz #32 kernel w/ lag-fix enabled and I9088ZNKP1 modem on Android 2.2.1 for reference. VC is installed but obviously won't function on this non-oc/uv kernel. Voodoo v4 is installed for whatever that's worth.

Anyone have any ideas on wtf is going on??

And I apologize for the horribly long, terribly worded post. I've been at work since 8 this morning and I'll be here til midnight...I'm running on fumes at this point. Woo...lol Thanks in advance, guys.
