I read a couple pages but never found the answer, but I'm sure it is somewhere. Does this work for the rogers I896 on the official 2.2? I used the superoneclick root, I do have a lag fix that I need to take off from my understanding as its the one click lag fix.

Is there anything else I need to do this kernel flash? As well can I do it all on the phone or I must use odin on the computer?

Thanks for the help/clarification on my noobness :)

If you're already rooted on Rogers Froyo, disable lagfix and go download "SGS Kernel Flasher" by Neldar from the market and use the -CWM.zip files in SGSKF to flash the kernel, then recovery-reboot to enable EXT4 lagfix through speedmod recovery.

Thanks I already have that setup so it should be quick.

So remove lagfix
Download file on my phone n use SGSKF
To go to recoveryreboot mode that is when I hold vol up/down and power? or just simply turn off n on the phone?

Thanks again.

Ummm did it n after the whole recovery-reboot my phone just shows a black screen even after a battery pull. The soft touch buttons are lite up n it vibrates from time to time.

Also on start up after a pull battery I get the I896 screen, then the gaxasy s i9000 screen then rogers then the S screen after a bit of waiting it goes black.

HELP! =(

Edit, I went back to recovery mode. Dont know what to do.

LimaI896:

After flashing with Neldar you should be able to get to green speedmod recovery where you can use the last menu option (speedmod ULKF or something) to change your filesystem configuration, which is probably the problem. If all else fails Odin yourself back to stock and try reflashing with Neldar. You're sure you disabled one-click lag fix?

p.s. Those four bootscreens are "normal"

Can you give me a link to this ODIN? as I know I did disable to oneclicklag fix but after I reboot from recovery I still go to a black screen with odd virates every few seconds after the start up screens.

you don't need any extra stuff to flash this kernel, all you need is transfer it on SD card, turn of your phone, use 3 botton method get into recovery mode, then install zip from SDcard. thats all. you dont need CWM or kernel flasher.

Lima, you can either Odin THIS Froyo release over your mess or use the one-click downloader I PM'd you to flash back to JF6.

I used the CWM flashable zip of this and then SGS Kernel Flasher to apply speedmod. Can't tell where you went wrong.

    The forum thread for the GT-I9000 version is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

    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.

    Latest K13E (12-Apr) - Voodoo Sound v7. Lowmemorykiller fixes. Improved display sharpness using AMOLED processing mode in MDNIE. Support for voice calls through headphones. Check here for more info and downloads.

    Thanks to sasovics and rpicaso for the I897 boot logo!

    These other zip files are for flashing with ODIN.

    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.
    8
    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!
