Hey Guys,
I am currently running Serendipity 6.3 with a I9000UGJK4 modem and hardcore speedmod for I9000 kernel on a Captivate..
The reason I did this is because only I9000 modems have HSUPA and i read somewhere that the kernel and modem need to go together (ex: I9000 modem with I9000 kernel) and I think this is the reason my battery life has been suckish..
Is it safe to run a I9000 kernel in Captivate??
Would I9000 modem and I9000 kernel give me better battery life or would Captivate modem and captivate kernel give me better battery life??
Thanks in advance!
/facepalm
not another one
Can you at least post where i can find the information?

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.
I'm running Apex 5.1, with Suckerpunch-Voodoo #11. I have been wanting to try a JPA modem. Will I have to switch to a reoriented i9000 kernel, or will it work with the Suckerpunch?
Also, does anyone have a link to a cwm jpa modem.
SuckerPunch-Voodoo is a reoriented I9000 kernel.
I don't have a link to this JPA modem you speak of, though this thread has quite a few other modems:

So I understand the i897 roms have to have i897 modems and vice versa with i9000. I've been searching for about an hour, but can only find that same answer I already just posted. My question is, can you use an i9000 kernel with an i897 rom? Since its an i897 rom, I would need to keep an i897 modem correct? Or would I use an i9000 modem due to the kernel. The reason I am asking is I would like to OC/UV. I liked the speed I got from Firefly, but not the battery life. So I went back to stock Froyo. I'm just going to stick with stock, root, remove bloatware, OC, and call it good. I just use it to play with when I'm bored in class and text/call, and stock does that just fine for me. Just want OC. TIA.
There are Froyo I897 kernels that support OC/UV, BLN, Voodoo, etc. I believe froyo is less picky and it is possible to mix and match i897 roms with i9000 kernels but that is not possible on GB. But as I said before you can use a I897 kernel if you just want OC/UV. (good kernel is Design Gear's Cognition 4.x.x kernel)
And since u r gonna use an i9000 kernel, u need to use an i9000 modem to avoid problems.
Kernel and modem need to be paired--i897 with i897 -- i9000 with i9000... (in order to not have issues)

I'm considering switching to ICS, but I'm wondering is there an ICS kernel that is based on I9000 sources? Like how we have JVU, JW1, etc. I9000 kernels? It seems that the most popular is Glitch, but Glitch is I897.
I also need a modem for ICS that doesn't give me the roaming message since I'm on Fido. Since modem works with the kernel, this means that if there are no I9000 based ICS kernels, then I can't use a I9000 modem.
glitch (and all cm kernels) are reoriented from the I9000 to work properly with the I897, they aren't based off of captivate anything, so you HAVE to use an I9000 modem, if you look all the modems posted in an aosp format are I9000
I'm on glitch with jk4
And also your phone wouldn't work quite normally if you flashed a real i9000 kernel

And you have to use the ones made for cm7. The cwm package has a different install script.
Not sure if this question is for here or the i9000 section.
At any rate, I have a Captivate i897 but I like running the i9000 roms. I am currently using Xcals reoriented kernel in order to get my screen to rotate properly, but would like to try other kernels.
Is there a list somewhere of other i9000 reoriented kernels for Gingerbread or do I have to go through each [Kernal] thread to try and determine if they are reoriented?
Thanks.

Super. Thank you.
Or look for xcaliburinhand's reoriented i9000 kernels.
He he said he is already running that, that's why i didn't mention it
