Just to clarify, I offered dropbox links for the files because someone mentioned they were having problems. Please try the main download link on the OP before the ones I posted. I am only offering this as a temp alternative for a very short period of time to help out. They will be taken down shortly.

I've been using the browser and it does place it in /download/ ...but within that it becomes named update.zip, or update-1.zip(if I've downloaded more than one. lol. Just my luck I guess.
Once I boot into recovery, and choose install from zip. I can normally see the file I want to install and I select it. This is where it hangs.

I've gotten a good amount of feedback so far...I'm gonna run with it for a while and see where it takes me

Great help! Thank you

Browser from the phone? Not sure what you mean by that. Download it on your PC then plug in your phone to the PC and copy the file from PC to the root of you internal SD card. Then press Power button to boot into recovery. Once in recovery, there is an option to install zip from SD (not the update.zip one). You can select the same filename as it was when you downloaded it on your PC>

Actually, the browser from the phone itself. I'm rarely near a PC while I'm playing with these roms(I know, horrible idea lol). So I'm trying to learn how to do things from root explorer, etc.

So I downloaded the xda app. I downloaded the JK4 file from post 998. It DID NOT rename itself to update.zip this time. I kept it within my sdcard/tapatalk/directory. I booted into recovery which says 2.5.1 speedmod ulfk.
>Install zip from sdcard
>choose zip from sdcard
>Went to look for the directory...not found
>moved the .zip to the root of the sd, still not found

^^^That's the other issue I am having...in addition to the install hanging

If I try to open and install the .zip with rom manager, i get E: verification failed

^^^I think there is an issue with the CWM file to be honest.

I do everything on my phone. Never use a pc. If you are moving the file to your sd it will be there when you choose install zip from sd.

What file program are you using? Are you down loading a cmw zip or an odin tar?

Definitely CWM files. I've downloaded the one similar to mcord's in post 1047 multiple times. I see it in root explorer(The program I use), and also in the stock myfiles app. If I load up recovery...notta

However...I downloaded his(it downloaded as update.zip), renamed it to jk4.zip. It flashed fine.

I don't get it...but glad it worked!

Now i'll just switch around the modem.bin files to try other modems if needbe

I'll let you know how the bluetooth works!

Update 1: 4.3mbps down, 1.27mbps up ...can't complain much about that!

Update 2: Bluetooth calling is pure static

I am running k12n with no tweaks enabled or any lag fixes with Darkys v8.1

Wondering if its worth the upgrade to k12o from k12n? Any particular upgrades to performance and or battery?

Any input would be greatly appreciated

besides that nothing much? I am not the biggest fan of playing around with kernels and modems and lag fixes and such but Ive stuck with Speedmod for a while now and happy that Darkys now on to Speedmod kernel I was just wondering if this update gave any improvement to battery or performance.

THanks anyways

Well in theory the only reason to tweak brightness is to improve battery life. To be fair, I have not been running the kernel long enough to give a honest assessment

I just started using hardcore's kernal. This latest version sets the brightness a little too low in my opinion. It's hard on my eyes. Was k12n brighter? If so, where can I get it?

Edit: Found where to get older versions. Still curious if the older version is brighter.

    The original SpeedMod kernel, now available for AT&T Captivate users! This kernel aims to be fast, compatible, stable, and have good battery life. It makes our Galaxy S run the way it should.

    This kernel is for the AT&T Captivate (SGH-i897)

    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!

    >>> Click here for the installation procedure using Odin.

    >>> If you have questions, please read the FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions first!

    >>> What is the SpeedMod kernel?

    Latest features:

    - Compiled using codesourcery 2010.09: Faster and more battery efficient
    - The only properly working Tiny RCU implementation, thanks to Paul McKenney
    - More efficient: Removed debug logging from kernel and Android
    - Most updated version of my Enhanced Universal Lagfix fork with improved stability
    - Full Android 2.2.1 ROM compatibility

    This kernel has:

    - Based on JPX Android 2.2.1 kernel source
    - Works on all stock Froyo 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs and popular custom ROMs
    - 340MB RAM and all features should work
    - Enhanced version of sztupy's Universal Lagfix
    - Includes neldar's BackLightNotification 2.3 from https://github.com/project-voodoo/backlightnotification/tree/master/kernel_patches/
    - Sharpness (AMOLED mode) & color fixes for the screen
    - SpeedMod: Replaced kernel jhash2 with jhash3
    - Includes my Startup Tweaks from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=813309
    - Adjusted kernel HZ value to improve smoothness
    - Uses BFQ IO scheduler by default, from http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/sources.php
    - Updated ext4 code in kernel from http://www2.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-patches/
    - Properly working Tiny RCU patch for better speed and efficiency from http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=ke...it;h=9b1d82fa1611706fa7ee1505f290160a18caf95d
    - Patched lowmemorykiller for compatibility with Tiny RCU from http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=ke...ff;h=5545554aac04918ece318270d63cbfcb015577a9
    - Optimized compiler flags: -O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp

    --------------------------------

    FOR BEGINNERS:

    This kernel is based on sztupy's Universal Lagfix: Lagfix and root options are accessible by booting into the Recovery Menu.

    To get the best speed, it is recommended that you enable all Tweaks from the Recovery Menu. Tweaks are under SpeedMod features. Info on Tweaks: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=813309

    How to root: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8896862&postcount=90

    Kernel HZ value: HZ=500 is smoother, HZ=256 is Samsung default.

    --------------------------------

    Memory configs (K10J and later):

    CONFIG_ANDROID_PMEM_MEMSIZE_PMEM=2048
    CONFIG_ANDROID_PMEM_MEMSIZE_PMEM_GPU1=4096
    CONFIG_ANDROID_PMEM_MEMSIZE_PMEM_ADSP=1500
    CONFIG_WLAN_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_BCM=256

    CONFIG_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_TEXSTREAM=10240
    CONFIG_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_FIMD=3072

    THANKS: Big thanks to existz and xcaliburinhands for the i9000-to-i897 patch.

    --------------------------------

    WARNING: If you use a custom boot animation, apps like One Click Lag Fix will not work because it disables the playlogos1 script hack.

    The files with ending with -CWM are for flashing using Clockwork Recovery.
    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.

    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!
