kernel and rom pairing question - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im on di11igafs 5.2 newest rom with Firebirds newest kernel flashed. I want to switch to SetrioNs kernel here for some good overclocking. I am unsure which to use and what the difference between his normal and XT versions are. i tried flashing the newest 1.6ghz XT SetrioNs but it freaked out my phone even in recovery menu after 20 seconds it would freeze up after about 20 seconds. Do i need to disable the lagfix in the recovery menu and or something else first? any help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

Your phone is not going to do 1600 no matter how hard you try.

Thats not what I asked about nor did I try to set it at 1.6 ghz. The phone wouldnt even boot long enough for me to change the voltage control settings. So I suppose i should rephrase my question so I dont get another answer like this one. I would like to use SetrioNs kernel, im using Firebirds kernel right now. Are there any steps i need to take in order to properly flash setrions kernel so that i dont have the problems I had previously?

Party pooper.

I know right? Woot woot.

Ok, sorry man. Honestly I would suggest downloading the Paragon rom and yanking the kernel out of that. It is much more up to date and allows oc.as high as 1.6. I have used that one without issue. Haven't tried setirons in quite a while so I don't know what may be going on.
Easiest way is to just put the rom zip in your sd card then use sgs kernel flashed app and select the rom zip. It will extract the kernel and flash it for you. Might want to disable lagfix first as sometimes problems occur when jumping back and forth between firebird and others.
Use voltage control 3.0 to control that kernel as well.

Ah! Thank You Thats exactly what i was looking for. I only have one question left. If i pull the kernel out of the rom will it be in .tar form? Thanks again

The kernel will be zimage. You can just copy that file straight to your sd card and the kernel flasher app will work with that as well.

Also it would seem that paragon is now using speedmods kernel. would you happen to be able upload the kernel you are using for me?

Give me a few.. have to get off the couch

Setcpu kernel?

The ones from Fresh Toast and Darchdroid are the only ones with setcpu. Or, you could compile his source. The best bet is to just run Fresh Toast.

Sry dude forgot about the q&a
I would say just run Fresh Toast 2.1 Final.. Its amazingly fast.
Also, I recommend overclock widget instead.. Flipz noticed that SetCPU was unnecessarily taking up over 10% of your CPU usage constantly, which doesn't sound like much, but it can add up quickly.

Just rip the boot.img from Fresh 2.1OC, then implement it into regaws build.
It's actually a lot easier than it sounds.

Rooting on 2.2

Can someone help me with rooting on the 2.2 froyo leak. I have seen cognition but I do not want to do it that way. Is there a one click root option or another option you can show me. Sorry if this is a double post I have looked around alot but I see mostly cognition stuff.

There is no one click option.
These are your two options aside from Cog:

Is excaliburinhand playing with the kernel yet? It'd be awesome to get the soft key LED notification working again
And for some reason I like voodoo more than one click lagfix but Voodoo hangs when disabling and reverting data from ex4 to rfs When i disabled it to do all my stuff it froze and i lost allllllll my stuff.
P.S Do we know if ROM Manager will be updated to have a new update.zip to support our kernel?

Right now atinm and Unhelpful are playing around with injecting voodoo into the Froyo zImage... they're also trying to get around space limitations to get CWM or 2e recovery support into it- sooooooo keep your eyes peeled, when they finally get it going I'm sure it'll be all over the forums
So then what are you doing Zilch?! You gotta be proactive sir!
I saw that one and am tempted but is the cog stable enough? I could never get the voodoo lagfix to work properly on the last cog 2.6... Must have f'd it up somehow.
Do need a lagfix as its a little laggy but works great so far no complaints.
BTW u two are hilarious...

1.) I had Voodoo beta4 working with my 1.3 reoriented kernel (but it was done by excaliburinhand)
2.) The oneclicklagfix 2.1+ is working for me on Cog 2.2beta. Got a 1900 in quadrant and very good stability.

[MOD] T959UVJFD Kernel support in newer builds (Flashable .zip)

I've created a zip archive that can be flashed via Clockworkmod Recovery to replace the necessary files in /system/lib and /system/bin to flash a kernel built against T959UVJFD onto a newer build (thanks to eugene373 for the list of necessary files^_^).
Incase anybody is wondering... I've flashed this myself with no issues and bluetooth works fine.
Edit: A good example of this is flashing one of JAC's or kingklick's kernels onto the new OTA UVJI6 firmware .
Forgive the noob question, but will this allow us to flash Jac's XMOD kernels on a JI6 rom?
Nvm found the answer myself. For any other noobs wondering, the answer is yes. Duh
Thanks for posting this!
You're welcome.

Sweet, I am gonna give this a try right now.
Edit: Nope. Phone hangs at Vibrant screen.
Worked perfectly for me. Saw the other threads about this and just hadn't had time to give it a go but I am now running Jac's uv/oc/cf.

Can you describe the steps you took to flash this? I came from stock JFD (repartition and EFS clear checked) to JI6 (nothing checked) and then flashed the .zip with CWM and it worked fine.
Spoke too soon. I just flashed the zip without JAC's kernel because I forgot I deleted it from the phone after I installed JI6. So I pushed the 1.1 OCUV kernel to the phone, flashed it and it worked. Seems a little choppy though but I will give it a few minutes and maybe another reboot to see if it settles in. Thanks for the work.
Edit: Oh yeah, it's frikkin rippin now! Thanks
Thanks. I haven't quite decided to do this yet, and it helps to have an easier way to do it. I need to go search later, but anyone care to save me time and explain what the downsides are to reverting these libraries to earlier versions?
Didn't work for me...
I tried to flash using colockwork, got stuck at vibrant screen...
So you have to flash this and JAC's kernel at the same time? I'm a noob so please help me out...

Nightfall983, you can flash in one step using clockwork if you wish using the zip I built a few days time back, you can find it here.

Yes. Flash back support then BEFORE rebooting flash the kernel you want. Or use the all in one zip posted above.
Thanks...
Thank you guys for your help... I'm trying the all in one now...
So, just to be clear, from ji6, I reboot with clock work, flash old kernel support, when while still in clockwork, proceed to flash jac's kernel, right, then reboot? Or can reboot after applying old kernal support, then go crazy flashing kernels?

[Q] (Q) Galaxy S OC Kernel flash-ability

With Z4Mod's kernel module flashing ability is it possible to flash an already written Glaxay S variant OC module? I assume voltages and stable frequencies are identical.
I've never flashed a module using Z4Mod but I recently tackled Odin and I'm feeling adventurous
I'm willing to use my Galaxy Tab as the test bed so no one else has to worry about having an expensive paper weight for the holidays.
Thanks a million
-Landon
Simple advice: dont do it.
Never flash anything designed for another device. Yes, the GalaS and the Tab may be similar, but its where theyre not similar that make the big difference.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll try a different route.Is the operating frequency contained in the build.prop? If I try tweeking the frequency w/o flashing a module I believe the worst I could do is freeze the device. Then a fix would be as easy as a reflash from a backup or use rotohammer's .tar.

no the frequency and voltage settings are set in the kernel! you would need to recompile the kernel and then flash the new kernel from heimdall or odin!
i almost finished an overclock kernel but i dont want to flash it when im done because im afraid to brick the device and i have problems compiling it and i dont have so much time atm because i have to do tests at school so i need to learn! but i can give u the files u need to edit if u want so
Off topic, but I dig your handle. Mixes my name and Android I'll give it a shot. Send them my way and I'll see what I can do. I'll have to brush up on my Linux skills though. I used Ubuntu up until 10.04 when I switched to the (Bill Gates) dark side but I still have Karmic installed on my dual boot machine.

so u need to mess around with the kernel source, i can upload it if u want so!
but if u already got 'em, u need to mess with these files:
GT-P1000_kernel.tar/Kernel/drivers/cpufreq/
there is the freq_table and the cpufreq.c and we need to find a way to edit them and speed up our hummingbirds! we should also take a look at the manhattan project! they managed it to overclock the galaxy s!
If you could, post the link for me. I'm at work now so there isn't much I can do but I'll definitely start tinkering when I get home.
Keep us posted! Been waiting for an overclocked kernel!

It has an option to flash just zImage by itself. Failing that you could always just reflash the whole thing.
That was my assumption and why I'm not too scared to give this a shot.
Heimdall
I'm having trouble finding a dl for Heimdall. Anyone know of a good link? Odin is fine but I'd like to mess around with Heimdall, broaden my horizons. Most of my Android knowledge comes from HTC devices so this as much a learning experience as it is fun.
EDIT: Never mind. Found it.

Flashing a kernel is not hazardous. If it doest work properly then you just flash back a good one.
Now as for the bootloader, flashing that scares me!
