What is the best kernel for stock 2.3.5 XXJVS?
I maybe install semaphore but i'm not sure is it compatible with my modem
or does it matter which modem do i have?
Semaphore 2.5 will work well

does it matter which modem do i have?
it doesn't matter for the kernel which modem you use.
but there could be some changes in the 3g net speed and reception etc.
if it works, dont try to fix it...

Hi i have a question about allowing the hspa network on stock froyo rom....
How would i go about doing this?
Flash a new modem? Possible one from an hspa capible device like the i9000?

Would i also have to use an i9000 kernel or could i use my current existz voodoo kernel?

Kernels have to match modems. kb1 to kb1, i9000 to i9000.
So is running a i9000 kernal better than using a captivate kernal?
if so what are the pros and cons if any?
rom kernal match
Look. I've tried different kernals with stock froyo 2.2 and learned the hard way with sticking with stock modem. Call quality was crap and battery life severly dimished with having a improper mix of modems and kernals. Since those mistakes I run continuum 4 with onix kernal 2.05 and jvk modem and have great batt life and call quality and download speeds are phenomenal. The best way I have found without going flash crazy is to see what the experienced people are using on their phones. The have it listed in their stats at the bottom of each posting they make. These people have been modding for awhile and know by experience what works best. Try that and you should have no problems getting the best combo for your captivate. Hope this answers your question. Good luck!
hsupa is over rated the phone already has hsdpa. hsupa may be good if you want to video chat or teather. but if you must get hspa in full you want to flash a different rom. no one has figured out a workaround for the brokn bluetooth calling with a rom/modem mismatch on a north american captivate rom.
as for the kernel, well i haven't tried an i9000 or i9010 or i9088 kernel on kb1 but they all should work. also i haven't tried changing the modem without changing the kernel but i believe that should also work. even if it is not recomended. i have never adhered to the notion that modems and kernels should match and had good luck with modems for t959d i9000m and i9088 on i9000 i9010 and i9088 kernels without major problems. it does seem that the older modems do not work all that great on the captivate with call volume or quality problems regardless of rom and kernel. but the kp1 from i9088 and kc1 from i9000 are both great on the captivate, i think i give kc1 the edge. if it weren't for those two and maybe others that i didn't try i would recomend leaving it all kb1 for the simple fact that a phone should make good phone calls.
the adage that the modem and kernel must match is true. ie. i9000 kernel/i9000 modem i897 kernel/i897 modem....it is absolutely true you must match those. if you use an i897 modem with an i9000 kernel or vice versa, you will have data but no voice. its not just a myth
i need to know what modem have the best modem for wifi
thx
Modems don't affect wifi. Wifi is located in the kernel, I believe.

for me best for wifi was JVE (from first GB leak) and current JVR modem
@rschenck dload some firmwares, extract modems, dload My network Info II from market, and flash modem one after another. you will se change in parameters ;]
i use the new jvr and i dont think its any good
I'm experiencing incredibly slow WIFI since upgrading a ROM and wondered if there is anything I can do about. 200k down - 20k up and pings anywhere from 600ms to 1500ms. It also fails and reconnects.
Could the problem be related to the modem that was installed with the ROM? I'm unsure is this effects wifi speed? 3G is fine and running as it normally would.
If it isn't the modem what is the nest way of diagnosing issues with WIFI? what should I try re-installing / overwriting?
It's one niggle in a very stable smooth ROM.
I'm running the following if this helps anyone;
Phone model is a GT-I9000
firmware - 2.3.4
baseband I9000XXJVQ
kernel - 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVQ-CL281085 Ficetobeast #darkcore_2.9.2_JVQ
Build Number - DarkyROM JVQ v10.2

try a different kernel as i do believe wifi drivers are contained within the kernel
Many thanks. Is the modem part of the Kernel then? Should I try the darkyrom site to see if they have a different kernal for their ROM?

no, the modem is seperate, some people say modem effects wifi, others refute this...from personal experience i have found quite big differences with kernels, so yes, try on darkys thread for suggestions for alternative kernels
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.
