[Q] Modems and Kernels - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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!

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.

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.

[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.

Please be aware that though simbesh said he is using it without issues, ICS is NOT officially released. Some users have issues with ICS ROMs that others use with absolutely no problems.
As Kaze105 said, ALWAYS make sure you make a backup before you flash. (in case you need to go back)

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.

The first three I think are build dependent. Some people have tried different versions on other firmwares and had some success, but others, not so much.
The rotation animation one, I'm not sure about.

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.

For example, latest Siyah with touch recovery. Awesome for flashaholics.
Your talking of version .14 I assume, if so, doesn't it say in .13 description that .13 would be the last for Gingerbread?
Obviously it works if your using it, so i'm gonna download now...

[Q] Totally lost...Help me?

So, after reading through all of the Noob threads and such, I'm lost. There seems to be contradictory information, I'm not sure which phone mine even is (kidding, I know its a SGH-i777) or how to get anything started.
I just came from an ATT Motorola Atrix 2, and I was fairly familiar with that. I had it rooted and running a custom ROM. It seems to me however, that there is a LOT more going on for this phone than the A2.
There's things I don't understand. I know about ClockWorkMod backups, installing .zip's, restoring from backups, rooting (using Super1Click) on my A2.
What is/are ODIN? Modems?
How many of the ROMs are actually ICS?
and is CM9 a nightly or a daily (currently) ?
And I sincerely apologize. I am fully expecting and knowlegdgeable about the 'search bar', FAQs, etc that are going to come my way.
If anyone has a few simple answers, that would be greatly appreciated.
I'll lend a hand.
Well, firstly, I hope you know that the only way to get CWM on our phone is to install a custom kernel (can't update CWM on it's own either, the only way to change what version of CWM you have is to install an updated or different custom kernel).
Odin is a PC program built by Samsung for flashing proprietary roms. We've just adapted its use for flashing custom roms too, though only for flashing stock rooted ROMs without bootloaders (usually includes kernels). Heimdall is the equivalent program that also runs on Mac/Linux.
Modems are CWM-flashable zips that change the baseband, deals with signal strength and cellular data speeds (does not affect wifi speeds).
Most of the first page of the Original Android Development section are custom ICS roms: ShoStock2, Phone Bricker, CM, AOKP, Foxhound, etc just to name a few. I have no idea if CM is daily, I don't use it.
The links in the sticky by Red5 at the top of this (and every I777) forum will get you started, especially creepyncrawly's guide.
Hit thanks please! And good luck
EDIT: I felt compelled to add this. I don't know how flashing works on an Atrix, but for I777 NEVER FLASH THE BOOTLOADERS (unless you absolutely have to in order to get back to stock, and you know full well what you're doing). That's the one way to risk hardbricking your new phone.

hehe, got a kick outta this question. What would be the difference? the time of release?
Nightly's are just an automatically compiled ROM. Normally one a day.
There is no CM9 stable for our device yet......and anyways AOKP is better
karate has covered pretty well.
To add to his response to your question about ICS ROM.
Chris made this great thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532368
About CM9 nightly, AFAIK, they compile/build/ and upload during night time (to 2am or 4am). That's why it gets that name.
And basically all of this could have been found using the almighty Google. But you already have your answer from some if the nicer people on the forum.

some questions about 9100 touch recovery

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the i9100 part of the forum. My current phone is the skyrocket, but my gf has the i9100. On the skyrocket side, things seem to be different from the 9100.
I have read it somewhere that the kernel and recovery are linked together. I realized that there are couple of main kernels in the forum: siyahKernel, Shun, DarkKnight and Dorimanx. Some have Touch recovery included and some don't. If I were to do the recovery by myself, which is the best one out there? On Skyrocket, there are TWRP and CWM touch. I'm not sure if there are other things or newest version on this end and which is more recommended.
Any input would be great.
THANKS!

Hey there, welcome to the I9100 side of things :angel:
As far as I know, and for my entire experience of using the Galaxy S II, yeah, the kernel and the recovery are linked. There very well could be ways to flash a recovery independent of your kernel, but I advise against it. Especially because of lot of recoveries are customized to suit the kernel they come with, and have additional features/layouts suited to it.
Personally, up until a few days ago I was using SiyahKernel and if you're looking for, more than anything, a stable, fast, and smooth kernel with a multitude of features, you can't go wrong with gokhanmoral's work. Other than that, I've been trying out N.E.A.K. ICS and Fluxi ICS lately, so I can't give you any input on the others you listed. However, I know for a fact that SiyahKernel, N.E.A.K. and Fluxi all come with modified CWM-touch.
Hope I've answered your questions?
screamworks
Thanks for the response. It helped a lot. One more basic question if it's okay.
On the Skyrocket side, flashing a new ROM will replace whatever kernel that's currently on the ROM, how about the i9100? Do I have to flash the kernel each time after flashing a different ROM?

Not a problem :angel:
Yeah, that's pretty much exactly the same here. For example, each day or two I flash a new nightly build of CyanogenMod 9, and when I do I immediately flash SiyahKernel/<whatever kernel I'm using> afterwards, otherwise it'll revert back to whatever's bundled with CM9.

Generally.
ROMs tend to have kernels packaged within them. (I've yet to see a ROM that DOESN'T have a kernel packaged...)
So if you want a different kernel than what comes in the ROM, you'll have to flash the desired kernel after you flash the ROM.

[Q] GT-i9100 Kernel on SGH-i777 What happens?

Sorry if i posted this when there's another thread out there with the same info but I searched and didn't find any. I'll be receiving my i777 in a week or two and I'd like to know if I flash a GT-i9100 kernel on the i777 what will happen. I heard that some of the capacitive touch buttons wont work but is that all. I'd like to test i9100 ROMs without using the Jeboo kernel but using the ones that came with the ROM. Please reply and tell me what's what.

You could run an i9100 rom with their kernel, but certain things wouldn't work properly - buttons being one of them as you mentioned. You'd also run into microphone issues, which is one of the reasons why our "portable" kernels are called Mic-Swap. Forget using their kernels anyway, nearly all of them are no longer supported and our AJK is better or just-as-good than any of theirs ever was, so why not use that one to port?
I would recommend you read up on porting before you actually flash any of their stuff, just so you know what to do/expect in the event of a bootloop or bad flash.
Good luck, and welcome to rom porting!

Thank you SteveMutphy, I've been using a Samsung Infuse 4G for over about a year now and its been my android lab rat, tried many things bricked it many times (even on porpose) n brought it back to life with Odin. Had to move on though cause the infuse wasn't up to the speed that I want it at.
I'll check out the AJK kernel , just need something that supports CPU and GPU overclocking cause I'm a android gamer most times.
