Hey guys, is it worth it getting the Captivate? Since I see one seller in Garage Sale selling for RM1550. These two are the same in term of hardware (well of course, its a Galaxy S phone ) but I'm not sure on the software side. Any comment on this?

one last Q before flashing.. is it ok to leave sim n external card inside during wipe+reset+flash Doc's rom?

thanks

I assume that I'll just need to flash the kernel as the pda in Odin, without partition and any other things right?

I somehow saw it in Doc's site, it says to upgrade the kernel in recovery? whats that?

There shouldn't be any problem to leave those cards in there.

Thanks

for those who r using swype, may i ask if thr is a way to disable the auto word?

swype always corrected my words automatically, i dun wan it to happen...

guys, a quick question, all my contacts are Google contacts, so if i remove from my phone, means that its gone from Gmail as well right? vice-versa? same thing?

what you mean corrected your words??

Yup, in Odin, PDA only without anything else.
Upgrade kernel in recovery? I don't see that.

Yes correct

Here you go:

Alternative Kernels:
Install from recovery, disable all lagfixes first

Hardcore SpeedMod Froyo kernel-vH1250hzLink
Download
Sztupy .3 kernel Link
Download
Raspdeep 1.1 OC kernel (note, this is overclocked to 1.2GHz) Link
Download
Zenkinz 19 oc kernel (note, this is overclocked to 1.2GHz) Link
Download

Its stated in the second post of the Doc's thread.

Anyway, just to reconfirm and final confirm, if I want to change to another kernel while I am on DOC'S v7.6.1, I just connect to Odin and flash my preferred kernel as PDA. Right?

Added on November 7, 2010, 12:43 amI see. Thanks for the info. I think the hardcore kernel is sucking too much battery. Would like to try some other kernel and see how it goes. Last question,
do we need to disable all lagfix before flashing to another kernel?

yes, i never use hardcore kernel. after flashing doc's rom (7.6 is the latest).. then i change the kernel.. imho, ya-ok (v23) and super optimized (v3.6) kernels are the best.. but i chose ya-ok.. make sure u use setcpu and set to conservative and your sgs flieesssss... without wing

my 2 cent

*edit: you can disable lagfix using the ULK option in the CWM. you can see 'disable lagfix' feature there

Like whn i swype saya it wrote says....

If you want to type in Malay, you should change the dictionary to Malay.

Otherwise, type out the word "saya" manually, instead of swiping.

you need to manually type out "saya" once. Then it will recognize in the future.

Try it out bro

@frankgan, hw does ur flashin goes??

Everything works smoothly, BUT i am still stuck with the kernel attached in Doc's 7.6.1

I am quite hesitate to flash the kernel coz I have just restored all my apps 100++

I am afraid that flashing kernel will lead me to another restore for about 1 hr

Will flashing kernel alone wipe all my datas and apps?

@Frankgan, I never flash kernel from recovery. Just flash .tar files in Odin. No it wont wipe your apps. Just flash the one you want.

hmm, I dunno coz no exp in tat. lol... the kernel's aint good enuf? can tell me d reason for changin kernel??

Does ya-ok kernel provides good battery life?

My major concern is not about speed as the original kernel in doc's v7.6 is already providing my sgs with wings,
just that it is not long- lasting enough.

Any good performing kernel with good battery life?
