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.

What are modems? Modem Versions?

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 .

There are loads of threads that have lots of different modems up for download. Just download one, put it on the Internal SD, and flash it with CWM. It's trial and error which one works best for you.

Kernels and Modems - Confused

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.

Question about modem - i need help.

Please how do I choose a new modem for my device?
I am currently with a modem XXLPQ (from CyanogenMod 10), not know if it's the best option for me because I'm from Brazil (South America) and if there are other more compatible modems, I would like to test.
I appreciate the help.
Write them down on bits of paper, stick them all in a hat and pick one out while blindfolded.
just download and flash different ones.
try for 3 days and then try another
Check you have no side effects when trying them.I had a good modem but my data was sticking until I reset it.

You should know this that modems which work well for one person may not work well with others. So, asking which modem to use isn't useful. You'll have to try one by one to see on which you get a good reception and 2G/3G speeds.
The latest one I believe is the XXLQ6, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. However, latest doesn't necessarily mean the best. Many users like XXLPS, XXLPR, XXLPX, just to name a few.

please help about my signal
Try some modems (and don't ask 'Can I use I9100 modems on my I9100G'). Start with the ones bundled with stock roms released by your carrier. If none of those help, try any/every modem you can get your hands on. How to find them/flash them ? Search.
