You do not usually need to reboot if the wifi checkbox says error next to it. All you need to do is turn wifi off right there (i.e., not via the status bar icon, but unchecking the box). Once you do that, it will say off instead of error. After that, check the box on again, and wifi should come back on and scan the networks. The reason the wifi is going in the error state is because of tasker. I had Y5, which did the same thing, and it clashed with KB1. Turn wifi on andoff by hand instead, and it should not go to the error state to begin with.
[Captivate Android Development] Seanbest:
I have Busybox and installed. Still had to use app to disable it.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Hmm weird...it should have disabled it...but once I get done with the Onix kernel ill work on adding BLN to voodoo recovery for this kernel and sp-voodoo kernel
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
I have juice defender with ultimate juice, which does the same thing as tasker. At home, it checks my location by network, sees I am home, turns on wifi. When I leave home, it turns wifi off. When I get back home, it turns wifi back on. I have not had any problems with wifi error. Instead, after juice defender has turned my wifi off, it won't turn it back on because it thinks I turned off wifi. As soon as I drag my notification down and click wifi, it turns right on. This also happens when I wake my phone, because juice defender turns wifi off then, too.

Onix kernel?

Sent from my Captivate using the XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Aka SuckerPunch, im in the v2 stage now and decided to change the name...alot of people confuse it with SuckerPunch-Voodoo kernel, since the original SuckerPunch got alot of new features and I made a new recovery, I decided to rename it Onix...plus I made a new recovery for it with new tweaks and the option to delete VC settings in recovery.... once I finish it I will make a new recovery for this one .. probably just modify the voodoo recovery with BLN and add the memory timing script like I done with Onix recovery

Its i9000 based so you will need to use an i9000 modem if you decide to use it
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
Ok so probably a new proxy at work blocking market updates or download, cause home wifi works A1 !

Nice job existz, this kernel is the first kernel with lagfix + voodoo that i can use with my i896 without loosing something, like bluetooth !!! Keep up the good work !!!

Calls on wired headset only use right channel

Has anyone noticed that when using a wired headset, callers are only heard on the right channel? This is new to me, since on all other kernels the callers have been on both (in mono, of course).
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
i cannot figure out how to turn off back light notifications

can someone help
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
Beta 7 seems to have broken disabled BLN on boot using the file.

You can download BLN from the market for free to disable after booting.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
FYI...I have downloaded that app, and it does not work. At least, it doesn't on my phone.

Looks like we are stuck with BLN until he gets it added to recovery.

I'm not sure why anyone likes this. I wake up in the morning to lights on. NoLed is much better IMHO, as it is very configurable.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Not sure if you were replying to my post about wifi, but I think it fits.

I suspected it was related to Tasker. More to the point, I think it is related to the KB1. I just switched to another older Captivate modem last night. Not sure yet if it fixed my problem, but we'll see.

The main thing I miss when using Captivate ROMs is the supply of modems as are available for I9000 ROMS. KP1 (and/or a couple others) worked really good for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
same here the app did nothing at all
[Captivate Android Development] Seanbest:
BLN app turned it off for me. Script did not though.

After 3 days with this kernel, i can now officially say i found a winner kernel...

- Speed

- Colors & sharpness

- Sound quality

- Battery

All doing great ! no unwanted reboots, everything is smooth.

Right now with average phone usage to check mails, search markets apps and about 10min talk time, after 7 hours, i'm at 75% battery remaining...

I havn't played around with VoltageControl or anything like that yet as i am too new to all this... That's the next step i'm going to start checking....

Good job Existz...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I thought it did initially, but after a bit, I found it was still on. Has it been a while since you turned it off with the app?
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
Great kernel! Works wonderfully with DG 's cognition 4.2. Excellent job eXistz
[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
sorry how would we know if this kernel has been flashed?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
If you can use the Voltage Control app then it was successful...or you can boot into recovery and see if it has voodoo recovery (if coming from a non-voodoo kernel)..or you can use a terminal emulator and type..

cat /proc/version

and look for the kernel name
[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
existz im coming from cog4.2.2 so voodoo and voltage control worked on that kernel..and terminal emulator says cat/proc/version not found..

EDIT!!

SORRY! spoke to soon i guess that space in between cat and pro does make a difference!! cat /proc/version :)
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea, the "cat" command is basically telling it to show the contents of whatever file you put after it ..in this case, for it to show whats in the file "version" thats in the directory /proc...having it all together just puts /cat/proc/version...which is not a command..nor a directory
[Captivate Android Development] Seanbest:
Yeah, I flashed it yesterday or the day before (can't remember lol) and I turned if off then, hasn't come back on since.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Now that I got the Onix v2.0.1 out, ill work on adding BLN to recovery for this kernel and sp-voodoo ..
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Have you decided on a name for this kernel yet? I appreciate all you and the other devs do for us mere mortals!! Keep up the good work existz!!
[Captivate Android Development] TheSopranos16:
+1 Headset calls are only coming through the right channel for me as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
I have to say a HUGE thanks to you eXistZ! I flashed your kernel over my Cognition 4.2.1 ROM last night, and I don't think that I have ever had better battery life than this. I haven't even gone through a single charge cycle yet, and the difference compared to my past experiences has been amazing. I just charged to 100% and left the USB cable plugged in while flashing via CWM, and I am amazed not only with the battery life, but with the overall responsiveness of the phone now. Thanks again for all your hard work, it's much appreciated! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Seanbest:
Loving beta 7. Super quick and smooth. Battery has gotten better over the last 3 charges.

Sent from my Captivate using the XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] D12AKO:
This Kernel made my Cognition v4.2.2 SHO actually usable. Prior to this kernel the battery would only last for 8 to 10hrs tops with minimal use.

Now I've used the hell out of my phone today and still have 26% of my battery left after 19hrs of unplugged.

Keep up the great work as usual.
[Captivate Android Development] rohith8055:
+2 Headset calls only through right channel, hope its got nothing to do with voodoo sound.

existz, Thanks for contributing towards COG 4.3. Eagerly waiting for it :)

[Captivate Android Development] existz:
EDIT

Ill look into it
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
One other thing, is there something done to the bluetooth in call volume ?

Stock kernel volume is too low on my setup and when i first flashed Beta7, the volume became great...

Now it's like on and off, sometimes the volume is ok, sometimes it's really low...

Any ideas ?
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
Can anyone tell me if this kernel with kb1 will work with an i9000 rom? I so badly need decent voice call quality again.
[Captivate Android Development] locsplitter:
Had kind of the same issue here.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
I havent touched any volume levels, only added voodoo sound ..
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
I am running it with kb1 on fire fly good phone quality.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Could it be this issue mentioned in a supercurio tweet:

https://twitter.com/#!/supercurio/status/50366654676353024

He links to a test kernel for i9000 with voodoo version 5.5.2. Obviously we can't use that, but may be add the code that is updated.
[Captivate Android Development] ConeyKiller:
I know existz is a busy guy...so with that in mind, are we going to see anymore updates for this kernal?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yep, I've kinda been lazy this week, plus working on my Onix kernel, but im thinking of either making this into something like Onix (but KB1 sourced)..or making a seperate version, im not sure yet.. also been waiting on a voodoo sound update ..either way, I still plan on updating this kernel
[Captivate Android Development] ConeyKiller:
Cool. I wish I had.a computer so I could try and do something. I used to program back in the day bout 12 years ago
[Captivate Android Development] Fiin:
Awesome, good to hear its still gonna be updated :D Its one of the few I got to work with Voodoo on my I896.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
*UPDATE*

BETA #8

-update Voodoo Sound v7
[Captivate Android Development] TheSopranos16:
cool, thanks for the update. Any other changes in Beta 8? In particular, anything for the calls on a wired headset coming through the right channel only or not being able to disable BLN?

In any case, thanks for your work, love the kernel!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
As of right now its just voodoo sound 7.. I've got a few ideas I want to do with this kernel, but it will take me some time ..plus I've been working on something else, something to go along with all my kernels, that's been taking up some of my time as well .... As for the headphone issue, ill look into it, im not sure if the update to vs7 helped it or not since I haven't tested it ..but you should be able to use the script I posted to disable BLN on boot...where BLN is actually disabled by default, I assume the app was made to just enable it on boot, but since I enabled it by default, I don't think the app sticks for disable on boot.. but im working on either adding it to voodoo recovery or I might make this kernel more like my Onix kernel (kb1 sourced of course) and use Onix recovery
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Sounds intriguing. Any hints?
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
So if we uninstall the BLN control app, BLN should default to disabled on reboot with the required file the init.d folder.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
correct, if you place the bln script into /etc/init.d/ , you can uninstall the app and bln will be disabled on boot.. if you ever want to use bln, make sure to remove the script or it will disable it on boot
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
Flashed Beta #8

Everything seems to be running great so far...

I'm sure getting curious about what you are working on after what you said...

And any ideas what's next for this kernel ?

Thanks !
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Thanks again for all of ur time and hard work...
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Correct, and therefore should be paired with a Captivate modem as existz mentioned above.
[Captivate Android Development] destrorox:
I had similar wifi issues with another kb1 kernel so decided to wait it out until at least the source was released and ample experimenting had been done. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Mik3D23:
going to flash right now, I'll post tomorrow night at how things are running
[Captivate Android Development] Dmoney5150:
You should follow the zack snyder trend and call the kernel steel based on the new superman movie he is filming..lol
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So what will happen if you paired this with an i9000 modem?

[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
I seem to be having battery drain issues. I'm using Cognition 4.1.1 paired with this kernel. My phone has been off the charger for about 5 hours and I'm down to 53% (with Juice Defender). With the default Cognition kernel I was seeing only 20% or less drop in five hours (with Juice Defender).
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea its an incomplete beta...still working on it , wont really have much time to work on it for a day or two, so I posted what I had done already...
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Ive made some progress, fixing wifi has took up most of my time, but I think ive got it fixed, now time to work on voodoo sound..i should get some time tonite to work on it, ill try to post a new build then

Also looking for a new name for this kernel...believe ive ran the Suckerpunch name into the ground ..lol..so im open to suggestions
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Imo... SuckerPunch is your trade mark.

Sent from my custom Cap on the XDA-App
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
Also, having battery drain issues. I'm logging the battery levels for the day to check it out later.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
I thought about doing SuckerPunch KB1 or something...but people are getting confused with suckerpunch and suckerpunch-voodoo...so having 3 would really rock their worlds..but i might :P
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea, i havent done much tweaking yet, just added the features posted in the OP..once I get everything put in, ill go back and start tweaking it for better battery life
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
How about Kickback or some play off the KB?
[Captivate Android Development] gibson3659:
Considering the current attitude towards Samsung and the quality of XDA vs Samsung kernels/ROMS, this kernel should be named *****Slap. Seems an natural transition from SuckerPunch.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Lol... How about StockSucker-KB1 Kernel

Sent from my custom Cap on the XDA-App
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
How about DonkeyPunch?

On a serious note, what do you all think about the color/sharpness? I feel with it the way it is, it looks better..but thats just my screen..may be different with everyone elses...if you all want voodoo color/sharpness ill add it
[Captivate Android Development] :
Call it the Trifecta Kernel. Because it took Samsung/AT&T to get it out, but you to make it better, thus 3 parties = Trifecta.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Hehe..I don't want to jinx it just yet, as im not sure how its gonna turn out...or if it will turn out at all...its a work in progress.. what I will say is, im looking for an app developer to take on a small project ..nothing major, if anyone has any app experience msg me ..
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
Or we could just reinstall the BLN app. :)

Wishing I could do some development work. Oh well...
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like v7 does fix the headset issue if I am interpreting's Supercurio's latest update:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806195
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
The exact previous issue was a muted earpiece during calls for some reason and randomly when DAC direct option was activated.

Strange bug, but fixed now that the audio routing/path logic is strictly the same as the original driver in my code.

Besides that, nothing new in v7 since v5, but reliability is important ;)

@existz thanks for the quick update!
[Captivate Android Development] Seanbest:
Just flashed. Multitouch doesn't seem right. If I scrolled down before with one finger then pressed elsewhere on the scren with another finger I could scroll with it as well when I let go of th first. Now it jumps to the previous location for the second finger. Hope that made sense. Either way multitouch isn't worling the same as before.

Beta #8 with voodoo sound v7 does fix the headset (right channel only) issue

ThankYou existx and supercurio

curiously waiting for your final release (non beta) existz :)

EDIT: ISSUE NOT YET FIXED. My bad i changed my ringtone to an mp3 and it gets streamed through both channels but the voice comes through right channel only.

Serendipity 6.3

Back ups made

Speedmod lagfix removed

Un-fugu'd

volt sched cleared

Beta 8 added

KB1 modem added

(WiFi probs appear here)

Dalvik cache cleared

Wireless router removed, rebooted (the router) then re-added it back to phone...

...and I still can't get a WiFi signal. It's constantly hunting (scanning) the signal and keeps coming back as "Disconnected". I cannot get a lock on my wireless router for nothing in the world and it's sitting right next to me.

Edit: Also, it's eating battery like crazy - I'm talking close to 20% in less than 45 minutes. It could be attributed to the phone hunting a WiFi connection, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Anything you'd like me try before restoring my previous set-up?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Not sure if u tried or not, but try toggling wifi on/off a few times, giving it a few seconds to connect in between ... sometimes that helps
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
I have. I've also tried different combinations of Airplane mode on/off along with WiFi on/off.
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
None of my fidgeting got it to work, so I'm restoring.
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
I had the exact same problem on the stock rom. I did all the things noted above and then finally just went into edit for that network. (My home network). I made no changes but saved. As soon as it exited, it connected immediately and has no problems since.
[Captivate Android Development] rohith8055:
If u haven't tried beta #7, give it a try. I had no wi-fi or battery issues on that build.

Existz said #8 is only updated with voodoo sound but wi-fi acts weired.

Need to toggle it twice on power on's and change from 3g. And battery stats do show some increase in wi-fi activity on stand-by.

Anyways as existz says "its termed beta for a reason". And he's working on somthing evil for this kernel, so no biggie ;)
[Captivate Android Development] rohith8055:
Guess its got somthing to do with mono downmix settings. You may have to tweak it to be enabled for voice calls and disabled after. Untill then we will have to do the manual switching for dual channel audio :(
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
Thanks, I'm already going back to my restore as I type.

All is good. I'm not upset or anything- not that I'd have a right to be considering I know what I'm getting myself into on XDA. :p

In all honesty I was just providing feedback on my experience. :cool:

Powercycle your router. It's line give your phone the keys and changing the locks when your phone gets home
[Captivate Android Development] ConeyKiller:
I had that happen once along time ago....no mods fine whatsoever....only thing I could get to fix it was factory reset
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
That was one of the first things I did, per the instructions in the OP. I didn't just "reboot", or "reset"- (after making the phone "Forget Network") I pulled the power cord out of the back of the (AT&T U verse) WiFi/modem for approx one minute. I then waited 2-3 minutes prior to attempting to connect.

Support for Car Dock?

I'm currently on Beta 7 and enjoying it, especially the awesome battery life I have now compared to pretty much any other kernel I've tried.

There's one thing that I'm wondering about, though. I use my phone with my car's head unit, which has a USB port. The head unit will read the phone as if it was a flash drive and thus, will play my MP3s. However, the dash interface is very cumbersome and I'd like to be able to control my music from the phone itself.

I've been trying to use Google Car Dock to no avail. I've been following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916233

I'm really confused, so let me just ask my bottom line question -- Is it possible through eXistZ or any other i897 kernel to get USB audio out to my car? Following the above thread, it appears that it's possible if I use xcal's kernel. That's an i9000 kernel, though. I've enjoyed great performance and call quality from eXistZ and the KB1 modem. I don't want to switch to i9000.

So can we get car dock functionality in eXistZ?
