Nice to have another kernel to play with.
Is there going to be any OCed version of the kernel at some point?
Thanks!

Working well with cezars I9000 with no lagfix enabled and all tweaks enabled except for the last one in the tweak menu! battery doing well working in conjunction with jl 2 modem! this kernel is a win for me! o_O

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I had trouble with the same rom. No service on boot (had to reboot several times until it read my sim card), and some weird bug in clockwork recovery kept randomly disabling the back button (it would actually tell me that my back button was disabled and I would have to pull the battery).

Other than that, the battery life seemed very good and animations seemed smoother. Reverted back to my previous kernel for now, but will keep an eye on this.

edit: gave it another chance and am not having the same problems as before. Must have been a bad flash...

I think u should try other modem like jl2 or jl3. It should be better for the gsm signal.

So far no issues at all running on JPY with JK3, install went great, no problems in CWM, so far battery life is really good...running..

/system- ext4 (left voodoo activated when flashed to have system-ext4)
ext4-all

with 1-3-4 tweaks enabled

What do all the tweaks do and why would you use 1-3-4?

Heres the link on his startup speed script... (same tweaks in CWM)

As far as 1-3-4, when I used the last few of Hardcore's i9000 versions, having the VM tweak (2) on, it would keep the device running 100%...which I havent tested the last few versions to see if it does it or not still...so it might not do it now, still need to test...

.heres the thread on his i9000 version, its basically the exact same thing...

Just installed 256 HZ version in place of GB's kernel on Doc's ROM JPY V7 CE. Rebooted and enabled tweaks. So far it runs great - thanks. Will need a day or so test battery life and compare. Looks like it is sipping it nicely from the short time I am using it. Home key haptic seems to work. Have not tried BT yet (should be fine though).

Q: why would I want the 500 HZ version? Is there visually much of a difference to the UI? This 256 version seems great so far, or maybe my eyes are just old :p

I dont think Hardcore has posted a 256hz for the Captivate yet...you sure your not using the i9000 version? ...the ones on his website is for the i9000...the ones on the OP is 500hz for Captivate

Well, ya got me there. I am using the one from his website and if it is the i9000 version then that is what is running on my Captivate. Runs fine - should I be concerned and re-flash the CE version? Guess it would be interesting to know what the diffs are b/t the two.

They are the same except that the Captivate version is tweaked to run on the Captivate (i.e .. The buttons are remapped for the Captivate, the screen reorientation is fixed for the Captivate, ...etc..etc) there shouldnt be any noticable difference between the 2 speed wise... I have ran his i9000 versions before and a few things i noticed that didnt work on the Captivate was ...Music player wouldnt play, when your on a call the screen will not go off automatically..or if it does then it wont come back on when you pull it away from your face... So his Captivate version just uses xcaliburinhands code for i9000-i897 to fix all that..

If it was for the Captivate it will say i897 in the file name...

    WARNING: Before you try any lagfix, make sure that you have enough free space on your Internal SD. You should have at least more free space than data+dbdata+cache combined.

    Updated test: K12Q-T7:

    This version is unbelievably smooth!

    Android Logger (logcat) disabled by default.
    Kernel debug messages have been disabled.
    Fixed the super loud notifications with Voodoo Sound.

    Changes from K12P:

    - Disabled Android Logger (can be re-enabled via Tweaks)
    - Disabled all kernel debug messages (printk) for efficiency
    - Changed boot logo to I897 logo for AT&T Captivate version
    - Changed /cache to ext4nj in recommended ext4 lagfix to fix large Market downloads
    - Optional IPv6 Privacy support in Tweaks
    - Voodoo Sound v2 compatible
    - Fixed loud notification problem with headphones
    - Fixed popping / clicking noise when music and FM radio is stopped / started
    - Better FM Radio sound:
    - - Really removed the high pass filter and DRC from FM Radio (restores full bass)
    - - Turn on 4FS mode for ADC in FM Radio (smoother high frequencies)
    - - Turn on 128x oversampling for ADC and DAC in FM Radio mode
    - Adjusted volume of FM Radio and Media Playback to be similar
    - General sound quality improvements:
    - - Maximized digital mixer output to improve SNR and resolution
    - - 128x oversampling option in Voodoo Sound enabled by default
    - - Explicitly disable DRC and NG during media playback, if +1.5dB mode is NOT selected

    For the AT&T Captivate version, ignore changes for FM Radio.

    Reserved for future use.

    Test version K12S-T3:

    - Added 3-pole headset calling support: voice calls go via normal stereo headphones if attached, otherwise they go via the earpiece
    - Fixed mic problem, now the mic works
    - Voodoo app headphone amplifier control also controls headphone output level for headphone voice calls
    - Voodoo Sound v3

    Credit goes to xcaliburinhand for some of the source code changes.
    Unfortunately xcaliburinhand's patch didn't work out of the box - the mic didn't work. I had to modify the driver further to get the mic to work.

    *** Note: The voice call sound doesn't automatically switch between the earpiece and headphones if you plug-in or unplug the headphones while the call is in-progress. You have to toggle the speaker mode to make it switch.

    SpeedMod + Voodoo Sound test version!

    K12L-T5:

    Changes from K12K:
    - FM Radio sound quality improvement: removed Dynamic Range Compression
    - Voodoo Sound v1: FM radio bass fix, controllable headphone output via app
    - rear speaker volume +1 for media
    - light sensor polling interval changed to 2s instead of 0.5s
    (saves battery, more stable brightness levels)
    - light sensor sensitivity adjusted so that the screen doesn't turn bright so easily
    (saves battery and reduces screen burn)
    - adjustments to IO Tweak (super smooth now!)
    - changed battery level polling interval to 60 seconds, from 5 seconds

    Note that you need Supercurio's Voodoo app to adjust the headphone level. If u don't install it, the default level is the same level as K12K (+1 from Nexus S, or +3 from SGS).

    PS. The FM radio sound is really awesome after those voice filters have been removed!
