lagfix rooted captivate 2.3.5

[gj23]

I was able to root my captivate, my specs are: 2.3.5- 1897UCKK4- kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489 Gingerbread. Downloaded ROM manager and it doesn't list captivate when I try to flash clockworkmod, why? Also have OCLF and when I try to lagfix it says I don't have playlogos file. Can some help me out here. I am fairly new to this, but I think it has something to do with EXT2 not being EXT4?

Don't use ROM manager. You need to flash a kernel that has CWM baked in. You can find one in the dev section. Also, I'm pretty sure lagfix is not really used anymore

captivate

Thank, I used Odin and the kk4 kernel you recommended, seems to work good, but I was wondering how I can make my phone faster. I only get a 1240 with quadrant

Quadrant means nothing... Those scores are able to be manipulated by a single line of code.

root 2.3.5 CKK4

I was able to root my captivate, my specs are: 2.3.5- 1897UCKK4- kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489 Gingerbread.

gj23, Thanks for listing the fw versions of your phone, I'm interested in how you were able to root your stock 2.3.5 Captivate. I have tried three the following root methods and all have failed.

1) Super1Click, freezes during su from file system errors in logs.
2) update.zip to sdcard, fails with file signature not recognized.
3) rageagainstthecage.zip, fails to reconnect to PC after adb disconnects; or terminal emulator freezes up.

So I'm wondering if AT&T didn't make this build harder to root.

Is there a rooted mod compatible with this phone build?

If so, Can I use a rooted mod and flash it without being rooted first to get root permission?

I have searched and read so hopefully I'm not wasting anyones time. These are my phone specs.
Model Samsung Captivate SGH-I897
Firmware 2.3.5
Baseband I897UCKK4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489
Build GINGERBREAD.UCKK4

Rooting kk4 is cake.

Odin flash mtcarey's Corn Kernel version 7.0a and reboot into Recovery. There is an option to Root.
U can find the Corn Kernel thread in the Captivate Development forum.

worked like a charm

Thanks for the info, I was afraid of compatibility issues with modem/kernel/bootloaders but this worked flawlessly!

Im trying to run 2.3.5 stock with lagfix

This is the only forum that comes close to my question.
what i am trying to do:
Run 2.3.5 Gingerbread stock (i have to official kies mini release)
apply a lagfix
debloat.

but i always get a random reboot effect.
i took a look into the Fasty Rom but the DL links are dead.
since this was the only rom that seemed to appeal to me right now.
I wouldnt Mind a Deodexed rom. but i want to keep it as much of a stock as possible.
I am still learning the captivate ways since this was given to me and i use it as a tablet.

the stuff i use.

I897UCKF1-AutoRoot-DesignGears.tar
CornKernel_UCKK4_v706.tar (v705 also causes reboots)

my potential problems are
init.d
CWM (kernel)
and debloating (have gotten cases where the reboots dont start till after i debloat.)

any information might help since ive searched google and the androidforums website.
but the lagfix seems to be intended for 2.2 and 2.1

EDIT:
ima be trying this in the mean time.

As you probably noticed, Corn is probably your best answer for what you wanna run.

If you're looking into something with better performance, I'd suggest a JB ROM. That being said, this device will only go so far which the hardware it has.

Any recommendations?

if this is true about the performance, how noticeable would it be?
and what Jellybean Rom Would you suggest that could give me a balance of performance and battery life?
which is something im going for right now.

so far the specs i have are running great but if there really is a way to boost my performance by more then 30% it would be a welcoming sight.

You won't get much more than what you're getting atm cause like I said, the hardware can only go so far.

As for ROM, we don't make suggestion (to avoid flaming). If you really wanna take on a JB ROM, look them up and choose the one that suits your style the best.

i see then...`

oh, i see.
its hard to find all of them since theres so many threads with ROMs.
ill try and take a look. but it seems like it would be just more time spent on it then it would actually be beneficial.
