I installed a custom rom and a custom kernel, but what is the difference between different modems? and do different custom roms come with modems? Do I even have this right?

Custom rom may or may not have a modem its all in the rom description.
Modems are as firmware in date release order KH1 after KE7 .
Mostly work across all regions and networks .

Hey all,
I've been doing a bunch of stuff with motorola, and samsung is just confusing me... My sg2 is running the I9100XWke7 insecure kernel. The baseband is ke1 though...
I was wanting to throw the SensatioN ROM by Crysis21 on it, but I noticed that it's based on the kg6/ with the kh3 modem...
What would I have to do to be able to flash this rom, and is it safe to flash a different kernel such as going from the ke7 to kg6?
I've done some searching around the forum, but my internet connection is really crappy, so I apologize in advance if there is already another thread about this.
Thanks all!
Generally you can upgrade a kernel
Likewise a modem.
Likewise a full firmware .
Could you have a KG4 firmware and change its KG4 modem to KH3 yes no problem.
Could you have a KG4 firmware and flash a KH3 Kernel probably .
Personally i flash the same firmware that the custom rom is based on first.
KG6 based rom and i flash full KG6 firmware .
Then flash custom rom .

Just flash the rom, i think your getting confused with rom/kernel differences.
If you wish to use a custom rom and its an odin .tar file, you just flash that and dont worry about kernels.
If you wish to install a different kernel like ninphetamine or speedmod etc - then you can do this after you have flashed the custom rom of your choice.
HOWEVER, If the rom is a .zip based installation, you will need a kernel that includes CWM such as cf-root, ninphetamine etc before flashing the rom you have chosen.

Compatibility:

*Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.
Modem is in the stock rom as well

What JJEgan said. Looks like XWLA4 stock ROM comes with an XXKI4 modem anyways.
thx both for trying to answer
First of all i need xwla4 modem not KERNEL.
Second, I know that it doesn't have to be the same with the rom but i had one with xwla4 and had very good battery life and that's why i want to install again xwla4 modem. I found a thread with modems but not the xwla4 one.

Did you read my post? Read it again. From what I can tell, stock XWLA4 firmware comes with XXKI4 MODEM.
Can anyone advise, or point me to somehwere that explains the differenc ebetween kernel types and modem types?
I installed Foxhound ROM on my SGS2 but there are several Kernel and Modems to choose from. For the Kernels there are Abyss, Siyah, N.E.A.K and a couple more. For the Modems there is LPS, LPQ, LPX, KI4 and a few others.
I want to pick the best ones possible but cant seem to find details on what the differences are.

you can try any kernel you want and then choose what gives you the best performance or battery life or both
also try out all modem then choose what gives you better battery and network signal , there are some modems works good in some geographical area and you can use any modem and test it

Kernel types are for tweaking cpu, bln, etc. Modems are for the signal from your provider and are based on your location. Try siyah kernel, dorimax or Fluxi kernels.. They are all pretty good.

try searching the forum or google wich modems are used by people in your area that have the same provider.
Most of the time that will be the best for you aswell.
About the kernels .... i agree with the other posters ..... read the kernel related post try what you like and keep what fits you best.
For kernels : u may try siyah, i think its the best among ur list....
For modems: u cant say any modem is the best bcause it depends on which 1 ur service provider in ur country support...just choose the same\modem of ur current SGS2. U can search n find many CF in the forum. Hope this help... Cheers
thanks guys I will do some testing.
Hi I've been here for months and been flashing a lot of different rom and kernals, but I don't understand about kernals and modems. What are these? And which one are good for i9110G? Thanks in advance

modems are the radio of the device.
kernals are core information need to run the phone.
modems can can be flashed separately from kernels.
modems vary from rregion to region, you will need to experiment to find the best one for you.
cheeck the 9100G forum for modems that work.
