i9000 Reoriented Kernals - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Help me find the right radio...please

OK, I'm running Cognition 3.04 with the Speedmod Kernal.
People are telling me they can't understand me on the phone. For what I've learned through flashing over the past few months and reading around, I believe I need a different radio. Am I wrong? If not, can someone point me in the right direction?
I've seena few references to radios on here, but never with a link or a better explanation as to what details I need to look out for.
Thanks for any help.
check out the modem thread. its a sticky in android development.

OK, so should I be looking for modems then? 'Cause I went through that thread and flashed both UCJJ4 and UCJI6 (one at a time of course) but neither fixed the issue.
the problem is not your rom, but your modem, i believe. try jl2, jk4 if you are on i9000 rom.

Hmm...Cognition is made specifically for Captivate...was it wrong to assume is was a i867 ROM?
Is there an easy way to tell on the phone which model my ROM is built for? The "Baseband Version" reads I897UCJI6. Is that a hint?
Thanks for your help guys.
Your problem is you're using an i9000 kernel with a captivate modem. Cog is considered a pure captivate rom, so if you installed speedmod (which is based on an i9000 kernel) you need an i9000 modem. I think JK4 seems to be the most popular

Arg! But I installed the Speedmod Kernel made for Captivate!

This is so frustrating...I'm trying to not be a newb and figure this stuff out, but things that say they're for i897 aren't...ugh.
Well, I flashed JK4 and it works. So I guess the speedmod for Captivate isn't actually for Captivate.

Things that are for the captivate are for the captivate and the version of the speedmod kernel you flashed from the captivate forum is for the captivate, but...
What everyone is talking about above is what those things were ORIGINALLY designed and built for. In short most things out there were originally built for the i9000 (since AT&T is dragging their feet on releases) and then ported over to the captivate, meaning the code, config, etc. is changed a bit to work with the captivate. So what everyone is saying above is that speedmod started as an i9000 kernel and works best with an i9000 based modem.

Will it work?

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:

[Q] Kernel mix/match

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)

I9000 ICS Kernel and Modem

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.

[Q] Corn kernels

I've been using all kinds of kernels for Cappy. What I just want to know is what's exactly the difference between this kernel: [KERNEL][XWJW1][2/1/11] Corn Kernel I9000-C v1.05 w/Audience support!
And this one:
KERNEL][KK4][1/28/11] Corn Kernel v7.06 from Source (OC, BLN, Voodoo Sound, etc.)!
Thank you guys in advance.

This kernel [KERNEL][XWJW1][2/1/11] Corn Kernel I9000-C v1.05 w/Audience support! is for i9000 based roms.
This kernel [KERNEL][KK4][1/28/11] Corn Kernel v7.06 from Source (OC, BLN, Voodoo Sound, etc.)! is for i897 based roms.
that's what i first thought.that and the audience chip is maybe onky supported in one of them.but i thought there had to be a better reason.guess i was wrong.
thank you for answer.i appreciate it.
how can you tell if a rom is i897 based or i9000?
are kk4 cappy roms and xxjvu or jw1 i9000 roms? if i got that right.

You got it. Ones that start with a K are i897, ones that start with a J are i9000.
thank you sir.
I tried using both kernels for apex and neither of them worked.
but i also read somewhere that apparently corn kernels dont like ext4.
not necessarily... cappy had some that started with J way back when....
the roms that are ported will usually say so, but all roms come with a working kernel for it.
then if you want to change kernels, for one reason or another, you look for one that supports your rom build version, no matter what you will end up searching for the right kernel.

Audience chip works in both corn kernels. That's what separates corn from the other i9000 kernels (among other things). That way, if you prefer i9000 roms over i897 roms, you can still get audience support. The catch is you have to flash an i897 modem also, which for some people breaks Bluetooth calls.

Apex is an i9000 based rom so im not sure why the i9000 corn kernel didnt work. I would recommend you try some of the ics roms. Im on Doc's Master ICS and im getting the best battery life and speed from ics roms than i ever got on gingerbread roms.

Corn Kernel I9000-C v1.05 supports ext4 - I'm on Apex 12.4 with that kernel and ext4 without any issues in that regard. I ensured I was on RFS before flashing corn and then converted to ext4 via the kernel's recovery.
