what would be the best kernal and modem combo for this rom i really want good battery life I just got my captivate 6 days ago and out of 3 roms i like this one just want to know the best choices.
Speedmod k12t kernel and KP1 modem.
Take a look at my signature, results speak!!
Nothing against what any particular person will state or tell you to use, not all combination's will necessarily have the same effect from phone to phone. This is really the same as which ROM is the best because what works well on phone "A" might not work the same as phone "B". Just try different combos to find what your phone likes because these phones are very finicky.
i've been reading and this is what i come up with looking at the rom i flashed this is what is says.
model #sgh-i897
firmware 2.2
baseband i9000ugjk3
kernal version 2.6.32.9
build # gingerr5
off this info which kernal would i flash the one for captvate or the one for galaxy s i9000.i just dont want to do something stupid sorry for the questions.
You would flash an sgh-i897 kernel.
Here's a link to hardcore's kernel, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880.
you can use sgs kernel flasher to install it.
The link is at the bottom of the original post in the attached files box
not to ask more ? but is that because my phone is still based on captivate but with just a base rom.and what is really a base rom 2.2 mod to work on captivate?
Yes, the captivate sgh-i897 doesn't have 2.2 froyo yet, because it hasn't been released yet, but developers used the leaked version of froyo to base their roms off of. An i9000 rom is actually a rom from an i9000 galaxy s phone that was adapted for the captivate. But basically, all you have to worry about is whether or not the numbers match up.
Hey everyone, just a general question about flashing i9000 ROMs. Obviously they have quite a selection over there, and I was just wondering how one would go about porting and flashing them?
You'll need a reoriented kernel. Not too hard to come by, look for exaliburinhand's threads in captivate development

What if I'm flashing a 2.2 ROM? I don't want to mess with Gingerbread at the moment.
Xcal also has a reoriented kernel for 2.2. You can dl out from dev thread, or from SGS TOOLS (kernels are under rom tools).
Awesome. How would I use the reoriented kernel with the i9000 ROM? Just flash through CWM? And what if I want to flash a different kernel? (Onix, SpeedMod, etc...)
Put the redbend_ua and zImage files from the kernel in the updates folder of the rom zip. Overwriting the others. And flash the whole rom in cwm. One stop shopping.
I was thinking SGS Kernel Flasher (which I've used several times with good results).

extra step thats not needed if you know what kernel/modem you want to use in place of whats in the rom zip
Ok, so can someone take me through flashing an i9000 ROM in semi-noob terms?
Can I flash a kernel meant for i9000 international to my i9000M?
If yes, why would speedmod kernel give me a boot loop?
Is there a solution for the boot loop?
If not, are there currently any kernels that work with I9000M gingerbread? I'm on 2.3.3 UGKG3.

See the discussion in the general thread on moving to jvr and using kg3 as modern and csc. Tornado kernel and rom will work for you.

Please don't take this the wrong way Igsshedden, but if people ask about kernels for KG3, they don't want to be told about custom ROMs. I have been following the discussion in the general thread, and many times the question has come up about custom kernels for KG3, and you respond with "try the tornado kernel".
I want to let you know that I have tried it, and it does not work. It bootloops my i9000m. Why? Because I am still running the KG3 PDA, and don't want to switch to something else like a leaked/custom JVR. There are many valid reasons for wanting to stay on the official KG3 Rom, and not to flash a custom Rom.
Perhaps in the future, when the question comes up, perhaps you could respond with a little more information so as not to confuse people. Please don't mention the tornado kernel as an option without mentioning that it requires a custom rom to be installed as well.
For example, "Currently there is no custom kernel that will work on UGKG3, except for the rooted stock kernel. If you want advanced features like CWM recovery, Overclock, Undervolt, or lagfixes, you may want to switch to a 2.3.4 ROM, like JVR or custom, that have kernels designed for the rom.".
I'm sure that would give people enough information, without confusing them about compatibility.

very well worded: my replies were not meant to confuse anyone and I appreciate your clarification. I had conflated the question with a solution and not supplied the intermediary explanation.
One point of clarification, however, JVR is not a leaked, beta nor a custom rom but an official samsung firmware. Hence, given the accepted difficulty in rooting or using a kernel for KG3 my suggestion (consistent) has been that users of the KG3 modem and CSC move to the latest available official firmware, namely JVR.
Should they then wish to add a custom kernel or custom rom to root that stock JVR, my suggestion has been that Tornado would do that.
Also, to further clarify, use of the Tornado kernel does not require use of a custom rom but can indeed be used with stock JVR Samsung rom.
Eventually, Bell will catch up to the rest of the Samsung user base and 2.3.4 will be released in Canada: but why wait?
Why wait?
I can't tell you a reason, other than that I boot loop when I try and flash. I can't flash any i9000 international version without a boot loop, in fact.

Thanks for your response. I didn't intend to imply that JVR was a leaked Rom. Initially when it came out, it was a "leaked" rom from darky's team, and has the JVQ CSC. Eventually it was released for Swisscom mobile with a specific CSC for SWC region. So, I do understand that it is an "official" rom.
However, I'm still concerned that it doesn't seem to follow the naming convention for official roms. In fact, the only ones that seem to follow the naming conventions are the Bell KC1 and KG3 roms from this year. They start with "K", the 11th letter of the alphabet, to represent 2011. The second letters were "C" and "G", the 3rd and 7th letters of the alphabet, to represent March and July (the months in which the roms were made).
So, if this is the convention that roms used, then why do the european roms still start with J, if the first letter J is supposed to signify 2010? Any thoughts on this?

I have a sneaking suspicion that Bell will never get a 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 rom on the SGS. Remember, we never got 2.2.1 either and were stuck on 2.2 since December 2010

I've seen in other people's signatures, that they have the i9000m with a JVR rom, and KG3 CSC/Modem. So if you're bootlooping, it may be an incompatibility with the bootloaders and/or kernel. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure of the process when you are flashing over KG3. Since you already have gingerbread bootloaders, I'm not sure if the rom that you are flashing via odin must have bootloaders in it or not. Like I said, it may be an incompatibility with the i9000m bootloaders vs. i9000 bootloaders.
This is one of the big reasons that I have withheld flashing a non-i9000m rom onto my phone. I try to avoid changing the bootloaders when I flash roms, since that's the only sure way to truly brick your phone if something goes wrong. Maybe I'll just try to make my own rooted kernel with CWM for it, if I can figure it out.
Hi all,
I'm new to android and some things I do not understand, for example I have the galaxy captivate with the following characteristic:
Rom Android 2.3.4 I897UCKH3
boog_kh3_kernel3
su-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip
I updated my cellphone using these files, and all works fine but I wanted install a new kernel the last talondev, but after install it I think that my sgs is on soft bricked, displays the logo of AT & T and then starts "loading talon...", but then restarts.
This kernel can be used with the rom? it is compatible? or What should I do to choose a kernel?
Best regards
Talon is I9000 port kernel you are using native I897 rom. Use Samurai, Corn kernel or Boog's kernel. Actually Im not sure there is a corn or samurai kernel for KH3. I know they have it for KJ roms.
I have to find kernels for KH3, right?
Thanks
Correct. Or update to a newer leak like KJ3 as a example.
And I can change to a custom rom? or that such the cm7 rom?
I talk to do this to exit the soft brick and have it back.
thanks
CM7 has its own special instructions. I haven't kept up with it so go to their thread and read. But ya you can change to custom roms like Fusion IX, Fasty and others that are based of a newer firmware version.

You need to flash back to boog kernel. If this does not work it is best you re-flash to stock KH3 with the one-click solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Choose the one WITHOUT bootloaders since you already have those on the phone. It is safer that way.
Regarding CM7 ROMs. You must know they are completely different system compared to the normal Captivate ROMs. Read this thread before flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150
Don't get me wrong. THEY ARE VERY GOOD CUSTOM ROMs...absolutely. But you cannot mix and match.....Follow CM7 instructions strictly.
thanks for the replies, I will be reading information about their opinions.
thank you very much , I'll let you know the results.

Why would you send him to the nightly page and not the 7.1 stable current nightlys are a bit broken.
I am not amused by your phones performance
I have a I9000B with the oficial cm10 stable(Android 4.1.2), and I want to flash a kernel for it. I'm new to this kernel thing.
Do I need a custom kernel? If so, which one? Also, flashing the kernel will make me lose something, like apps or user data?
