Do you mean modem? if so, check Simba's posting on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361393&page=15

Thanks for that.
I see the download, but I was wondering if the UCLC2 modem will break things on UnNamed since it is based UCKK6.
I'm just not sure how ROMs, kernels, and modems interact and I don't want one to confuse the others. For instance, I have PDroid patched into my ROM - don't wan't to break that, or anything else for that matter.

The modem will work fine on your phone. Whether it will give you better results is another matter. Have to try it to find out. No worries, won't do any harm to try it, and then flash the UCKK6 baseband back if it isn't better.

[Q] How do you know which modem to use?

Hi guys!
I am currently running my Samsung Vibrant with the latest Bionix-v ROM. I was looking at the Modems that were listed in the referenced and I was wondering which one I should use for the ROM I have? In other words, which one should I use? I am currently with Mobilicity (Canadian Carrier).
Vibrants seem to be very choosy when it comes to modems. Different people will get different results from different modems. This is why in modem threads you'll see some people report increased speed/reception/battery and others will report decreases. The best way to choose one is to try them out first hand. I personally like KA6 and KB1, but the hybrid KA5 from bionix v seems pretty decent too.

Thanks for the reply. How would I install a specific modem on my custom ROM? Also, do I need to prepare my phone beforehand for installing a specific modem?
EDIT: Oh and how do I know which I currently have on? Like whereabouts in options would I find it at?
a few questions there. lets see if i can help a lil
1. install it just like installing a new rom. boot into recovery and flash the modem.zip file. once flashed. reboot. DONT FORGET TO BACKUP
2.other than backing up on prep work necessary.
3.home-menu-settings-about phone should say which modem you currently are on.
4. try out all the 2.2 modems. For me, I'm all about which modem gets me the best gps results. locks/accuracy, etc. KB1 is my baby. But all depends if you want gps, data speed, connection, voice or battery life.

Sounds good. I'm going to try out KB1 now and see if there is any improvement on reception/gps.
Also, I touched on this in another thread. Different people have different uses for their modems. Ie; I personally am willing to sacrifice some battery for top notch connectivity and gps so the recent kb1 is working out fantastic right now.

Under baseband btw
obtaining modem zip files
First time poster and obvious noob, but I hope it's ok to post a follow up here.
I want to try the KB1 modem and found a link (multiupload.com) to it in the "Vibrant Modems" thread in the dev forum.
I went ahead and registered on multiupload.com, but I can't seem to locate the actual zip file. Every download link I click just torments me with adverts. Is there another place where I can find this file?
Thanks

[Q] What should I do once I have bought my SGS2 I9100 (non-G)

Hi I've bought myself the SGS2 (non-G version).
now, to root, do I use the method here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
and let's say i have rooted it using CF-root 5.2, do I just pick a ROM and start flashing them? Or do I proceed to flash a Custom Kernel first before the ROM?
Anyway, I noticed that there are 2 sections for the SGS2G and the SGS2 (non-G). Which ROMS do I select from and are the ROMS variant dependent? means if I have the non-G version, I cannot install a ROM from the SGS2 Original section? A little help please! So sorry for being a noob.
Yes follow those rooting instructions, after the phone is rooted download a rom and copy it to your phone then flash it via cmw or manually via recovery mode, reboot while holding power, home and volume up.
Personally I recommend bezke UltraIcs, using it without issue

1st thing you do: read, read, read.
You can use whatever root method you feel comfortable with. I've used CF-Root, Odia's insecure kernels, SuperOneClick, and flashing Siyah kernel. They all work fine.

Most ROMs come with their own kernels, so if you flash a custom kernel, then a ROM, then the kernel that came with the ROM will overwrite whatever custom kernel you flashed first.

What 2 sections do you mean? The Galaxy S II Original Android Development, and the Galaxy S II Android Development forums?
It's important to note that these are not G and non-G. Original means developed from the ground up. (think CyanogenMod) The non-original generally means derivative from another ROM - usually stock.
I9100G ROMs are scattered throughout the I9100 forums, because there is currently no separate forum for the I9100G. The post title for these ROMs should always note that they are for the I9100G instead of the I9100 though. As long as you follow my suggestion for 1st of all above, you should be fine.
If you have the i9100g choose the roms that clearly indicates i9100G only in title, otherwise it should work just fine for i9100. Roms in original development indicate roms built completely by the developer hence the original. The Android development roms are roms that could be based off of someone else' rom or similar. You can flash roms from either section.
Just make sure to properly flash them and never forget to make a backup.

I am on stock XXKI3, which is 2.3.5, with Siyah Kernel 2.6.4. There are newer firmwares, and newer versions of Siyah, but I feel no need to upgrade as of now. I've modded my firmware myself pretty heavily, and prefer to do all the tweaks myself. Helps me understand how my phone works better.
If you're interested in a kernel that will help with battery, look at SpeedMod, then maybe Siyah. SpeedMod users swear by their battery life. I use Siyah because it has more features, and has more customization. But it's a preference thing.

Yes, should be. Though be careful - flashing some kernels automatically installs certain versions of CWM. If your backup is made in a different version of CWM than what you are trying to restore from, it may not work.

seems pretty interesting the way you mod your phone! and by modding the phone yourself, you mean you take apart tweaks from different ROMs and install them in your phone? I hope im not imposing but do you mind sharing with me the tweaks that you have done to your stock rom? i might do the same if the ICS rom doesn't work the way i want it to.

The more involved mods I have are:
Phone.apk tweaked to have Noise Reduction off by default in phone calls
Battery icon with % in status bar
CRT-off animation on screen off
Rotation animation in UI
The first three involved decompiling the files involved, editing the files, and recompiling. The rotation animation involved downloading some files that another kind soul posted that were from the Galaxy Note and installing them on my phone in place of the files that were already there. All require root. You can find all of these in the forums with a search...
Wow. I just hit 500 posts. Crazy.

What to look for in a kernal

Hey guys, I'm not gonna ask the dreaded question "Which Kernal is best?", but I am currently rooted and want to overclock to 1.5, but besides that, what else should I be looking for in a kernal?
What about modems (or is that embedded in the kernal)?
We only have 2 options, Entropy or Siyah and they do not include a modem.
Check the dev section for kernels & modems.

Both kernels we have offer oc abilities.
Personally I would look at stability and battery life but that is just me. Try both and see which suits your needs.
Modems are not associated with kernel and depend on your area. Whichever works the best where you are.
We have two choices here and both are incredibly stable and allow overclocking. You can't go wrong. Basically the biggest difference as far as I can see is the recovery that comes with it which is almost entirely preference.

So if I find a ROM I like but want to experiment with the other available Kernal, is it as simple as flashing my ROM first, then once booted up go into Odin and flash the other kernal i want to experiment with?
Or is the kernal that comes with a ROM the one your stuck with?

Just use CWM to flash the zips provided or Mobile Odin if you prefer it that way.
No need to use a computer to change the Kernel.

Thanks for the quick response chris,
I guess what I'm asking is if I have a rom with the Syiah kernal, is it possible to keep that same ROM but swap kernals, sorry, I just wasn't clear on what your answer meant.
I'm guessing your saying it is indeed possible and just flash the .zip for a different Kernal on top of an already installed ROM.
Sorry, I'm tired...
Changing the Kernel on 2.3.4 & 2.3.6 roms will not break anything.
For CM7, CM9, MIUI etc you have to stick with what is included or see what works with it.

[Kernel] ICS 4.0.3 Stock Kernel

Don't flash this as you already have one from ur ICS ROM! I just did not see any Stock Kernel that is the reason why i made a thread!
Haven't seen a stock ICS 4.0.3 kernel in development section so i m just dropping stock kernel in case some one needs it.
It meant we'll have mod kernel soon? Better battery faster ... everything.
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Noteā„¢ - please forgive any typos
ummm... what?! Is this i717 specific, or just the AOSP 4.0.3 kernel? How did we get this for the i717 without source? Where is it from? So many questions!!!11 lol
If this is for real, someone please throw a bucket of ice water (and/or trout) on Da_G...
I have tried to use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20806471&postcount=1 to inject init.d support into the stock kernel but cannot tell if it worked. It worked on the stock ICS kernel for the Asus Transformer according to this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23005237&postcount=104
Anyone else more familiar with init.d care to try it? It did give me an init.d folder, and the command prompt on PC seemed like it was successful but I can't tell from the file it placed in init.d after first boot if it was successful or not. I tried putting a supercharger script in the init.d folder but it doesn't seem to be working.
edit: Also at the risk of sounding dumb I don't know what set permission as 755 is. I tried to set the permissions of the folder to match the other folders in the directory.
I don't understand why are guys so happy about this ?
This kernel (boot.img) is already in ICS ROMs,
you can just unzip one of those ROMs or the leak and there you have it !
They need kernel SOURCE to do overclock etc.

I was assuming this was source... which, as my previous post indicates, wouldn't make sense.
Otherwise, you're right, this isn't anything special. Nice to have separately? Sure, I guess...
so what is a kernal is this a ics leak, im a nubie and pretty stupid.

Guys, this is STOCK ICS 4.0.3 Kernel. In other words, the kernel that was provided with the leak. It's unmodified.

You do know this is just the kernel right? If you flash only this after a full wipe, you're not going to have a booting Android phone.
You sure? I would think it would be more like flashing it to what is already in it, unless, this is not for the i717.

I think he means if you flash it after a "full" wipe, meaning clearing the system. If you just do a data and cache wipe it should be fine, if of course you are running an ICS ROM.

...which already has the same kernel, so there would be no point.
If this isn't source, then I don't understand what this is for. Every i717 ICS leak currently available has this kernel already included. Having it on your SD card just in case isn't really going to do anyone any good, since everyone running any of the currently available ICS ROMs is already running this very kernel. If this is acceptable, then I won't be surprised to see others parting out the leak and posting pieces of it in the dev section, when it really belongs in General since it isn't source. Please don't flame me, just trying to make a point.

It's pretty useful for noobs who flashed DaG's kernel mistaking it for an ICS kernel.
OP is pretty misleading. There is no reason to flash this at the moment.

Actually, I dont understand what the big deal is...
There are stock roms in the development thread aren't there?
Stock Odin recovery image:

Stock boot & recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504999
Strange that no one *****ed about these being in Android Development... I dont see what the difference is.
All this is is the stock kernel from the ICS leak taken out and made available for flashing in case you want to flash the stock kernel FROM THE ICS LEAK (so, if you are still on stock GB, this wont be helpful, this is ONLY useful if you are running the stock, unmodified ICS leak and have changed the kernel and want to revert back to the stock ICS kernel from the leaked ICS rom).
The OP is pretty self explanatory, in fact, the title of the thread is pretty self explanatory. I mean, ICS 4.0.3 STOCK KERNEL sounds pretty clear to me.
My only beef is not with the thread or its location but the lack of organization on XDA. There should literally be a category for ROMS, another for mods & themes & apps, and another for stock images. Q&A should be removed and combined with General. Given the limitation of the current choices, this doesnt fit under General, Q&A, Themes and Apps, or Accessories. The next best fit is Android Development. This is of course all my opinion.

Stock kernels belong in General.

I really didn't want to jump back into this, and it seriously doesn't bother me at all that this was posted... that said, there are NO modified ICS kernels on our Notes right now (we're all on the same kernel at the moment), so this won't become useful until someone modifies one (as appdroid apparently intends to do to add init.d) -- and even then, it will need to be replaced once the official ICS build/source gets released.
Either way, like I said, this thread doesn't bother me at all... appdroid's dev efforts on the Note are much appreciated!

[Q] Modems and Kernels

Hi Everyone! As a part of the usual process when I'm flashing a new phone, I start reading the forum to see what I can and cannot do. Believe it or not, this is the first android device that I own, every other phones weren't just mine. Now, I have two simple questions:
I've flashed some other phones, but in those I've never had to deal with modems or basebands (except from the nightmare called iPhone ), I wanted to know, the roms come with their own Basebands and Kernels or I have to flash'em separately when upgrading to a new rom, OR I can use deriberatly the modem that works best? I ask this because so far I haven't seen any indications on the ROM threads and I saw the compilation post of Modems
As of the kernel I'm not so worried, I'll simply use Siyah's kernel
Thanks!

I've flashed some other phones, but in those I've never had to deal with modems or basebands (except from the nightmare called iPhone ), I wanted to know, the roms come with their own Basebands and Kernels or I have to flash'em separately when upgrading to a new rom, OR I can use deriberatly the modem that works best? I ask this because so far I haven't seen any indications on the ROM threads and I saw the compilation post of Modems
As of the kernel I'm not so worried, I'll simply use Siyah's kernel
Thanks!

There is a modems thread in the dev forum. Has a map at the bottom recommending modems

Thanks for the answer, but I didn't explain myself. I saw that thread, actually I mentioned it above. I will have to test the various basebands, I live in Venezuela and there's no recommendation on the map for my country.
Now, resuming and explaining myself better, I just wanna know if Roms have their own Baseband and Kernels included (or just baseband for instance), and if there's any Baseband requirement on the roms -- Obviously there are Kernel requirements.
Thanks!

They come with their own kernel and you can flash over that. Fairly certain they don't have a modem but don't quote me on that. You have to get a Sammy modem for a Sammy ROM and a aosp modem for an aosp rom

For clarification, the only difference in the actual modem from aosp to Sammy is the install script. The modem itself is identical.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know. :good: Just had that slight doubt.

Just to clarify this. Some roms have Aroma installer which gives various options or features to flash with your rom on the initial install. Depending on what the developer includes, different kernel and modem choices are possible.
