I think there was a topic about all modems comparing them but I can't find it anymore! Does anybody have the link?

Hi, because Samsung-Firmware announced that they will update their site with firmware of the Samsung Captivate and Vibrant, I was wondering if this flashware can also flashed on a Galaxy S.
Why? I just want to experiment with it and look if the GPS problems are solved with the firmware of that devices (I never heard anyone talking of severe GPS problems on these devices, so)
It's different models with its own firmwares.

but then again, I see in the captivate forums that they are happily flashing Galaxy S firmware. They only have to update the kernel after an update to fix some little things:

I've been using Darky's ROM for a while, because it seemed really user friendly to install and had a lot of support for a new Android user. As I'm getting a little more comfortable, I'd like to create a custom ROM using the Rom Kitchen.
My question is, can someone clarify the difference between JVB, JVH, etc? Are these just firmware revisions (2.3.3, 2.3.4)? Also, I'm unsure of what the CSC and Modem are for...if I use the wrong one, will this prevent me from getting service in my country? I am on Bell Mobility in Canada...which CSC/Modem should I use?
Thanks!

Jvb, jvh etc are not different revisions, just different builds of the same firmware version, usually made for different regions. Each one is tweaked slightly differently to read the forums to get peoples opinions on each one.
The modem is the radio for 3g and wifi. Again, each is slightly tweaked for different regions so get views on which is best for you in the forum.
The csc handles the localization and adds the carriers and apns for different regions. Again, look in the forum for the one that covers your region.
Both modems and csc files can be flashed easily over any ROM from cwm.

Thanks, rschenck! For gingerbread, we currently have JVB and JVH correct? Are there any others?
So, if an app says "ported to JVH" does this mean that it won't work on JVB? Assuming that they are just different builds of the same firmware I would have assumed that it would work. Do you know of anywhere I can get information on which builds are currently released/available?
I understand the CSC and Modem clearly now, thank you

It means it will definetly work on jvh based roms. As for any other build, you would need to ask in the thread of the person who posted it.

I remember reading somewhere that Bell Canada uses the 850Mhz band and only certain modems support it, can anyone point me to somewhere I can download the latest or best modem for Bell Canada ?

Use either KC1 or JL2 these are the Canadian modems. Get them in rom kitchen or if your on CM7 go to Zach's thread and he has it there
How do I get the modem only from the romkitchen ? (I'm using GingerReal rom so I don't want the whole package from romkitchen)
(I remember there was an update.zip only option, but it seems gone)
Just download the modem you want from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9874879&postcount=1
They are all flashable through cwm recovery.
Thanks a lot, bookmarked it
Yeah its a shame they don't sticky the REALLY useful posts, like the above modem listing. There is another fantastic post out there with a complete list of deodexed samsung roms which is lost on the forum somewhere... I'm really sick of scrolling past 11 stickies that only answer maybe 10% of the questions on the general forum.
Anyway, I'm ranting. Glad the link helped!
what is useful is all relative...
Sorry if the thread is closed but i just dont wanna make a new thread just for this... Do any of you guys know any other better modems to use in BC, Canada other than UKG3 with 850Mhz band for Bell Mobility? JL2 and JK4 suck. anything else?
Hi, I have checked out the stick for the list of all available stock roms that dr. ketan posted.
however, i have been unable to find any that is downloadable as all the links for the singapore roms are all offline (hotfile problem)
as such, i was hoping if anyone else could help me with this?
like post a mirror or upload something downloadable.
Check on www.sammobile.com in the firmware corner.
In SAMMOBILE.com, if we search for the ROMs, it only shows some of it. older ROMs is buried in.
so anyone knows how to show the buried ROMs?
