Question Speed Fix?

Any chance of bringing this speed fix by mimocan to the Captivate?

Supposedly some international version Galaxy S'ers are sitting pretty with 1700's Quadrant scores because of this fix among other firmware flashes, etc.

Can we replicate this for the Captivate?

Here's a little inspiration:

"I have made a custom kernel to mount an ext3 partition on the sdcard at the boot time."

Can't make a custom kernel without source... and there is no source out yet... or even a stock firmware.

Isn't the stock firmware in this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

I've compiled kernels for linux before on my own PCs, and from what I can tell, he's just added ext3/ext4 support and customized the init.rc to mount the partition at boot time. I should dig around and see what I can find.

I will worship the ground you walk if you can get this to work on Captivate.
I bricked my phone many times trying to make this work. Apparently when mimocan's kernel installed, external sd card can not be detectect and g sense will be off 90 degrees. however, all buttons do what they are suppose to do.
Anyways, please please help with this MOD. Alot of us Captivate owners are looking for this fix.

You ain't kidding either! That fix is the sh@t! I've finally gotten my Captivate to run decently with LauncherPro but it's that nothing compared to what it could do with this fix. It's a shame really, we have KILLER hardware and the software implementation has seriously crippled it.

designgears already posted the stock firmware... no? Twenty bucks to anyone who can get my captivate up to these benchmark scores.

Koush posted up the stock kernel too.

im in for 20$ for a fix, even using SetCPU to 1000mhz whenever the screen is on I still get little stutters that feel like memory read issues, buddy was just over with his froyo nexus 1 and it was amazingly fast.

20$ is cheaper than the 35$ return see
