Does anyone know if the new CM6.1 rom that dropped in the past few days works on the Samsung Vibrant? Or any other really great froyo rom. I have axura 2.0.4 right now but I wanna see if anythings better. Thanks!
I'm still fairly new to XDA and Android in general and I have a few questions. I did some searching and have a general idea of how Modems and Kernels interact with ROMS but I'd like to get a more firm idea before I decide to do more.
I flashed to Cognition 3.04 and have been running it for about 2 weeks now and love it. SOOO much better than what Samsung sent out stock. My question is in regards to kernels and modems. I haven't changed anything with Cog in regards to what DG included as Modem/Kernel. I have been reading about Kernels and Modems, and from my understanding I need to use a Captivate Kernel with a Captivate Modem and an i9000 Kernel with an i9000 Modem or I will lose Bluetooth calling.
1) Since I have the stock Cog modem/kernel and Cog is based off of Rogers 2.2, does that mean that the modem is a standard Captivate modem? If I flash the Firebird kernel, which I think is a Captivate kernal as it is based off of Android 2.2 JPX, will I lose my ability to use BT for calls?
Also, I have been getting an itch to flash another ROM like Serendipity, Firefly, Perception, and Precision.
2) Serendipity appears to be a Captivate 2.2 ROM, but I really couldn't find anything while searching implicitly stating that. It uses SpeedMod, which has both a Captivate and an i9000 kernel from what I read. I couldn't find anything about what modem that this ROM uses though. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
3) Firefly is based off of Rogers 2.2, but it has a JK4 modem and SpeedMod kernel. The JK4 is an i9000 modem from what I can see. SpeedMod looks to have a K13A kernel for both Captivate and i9000. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
5) Perception is based off JPY, which looks to be an i9000 ROM. It also has an i9000 modem in JL2, but it is running Firebird. Firebird is based off of JPX, which I believe is for Captivate but works with all modems. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would not work on this ROM?
6) Precision is based off of XWJS5 2.2.1, which I couldn't find a whole lot of info on. It also has the JL2 modem with K13A SpeedMod. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
I appreciate any responses and feedback. I am just trying to get a handle on what works/doesn't work in regards to Modems, kernels, and ROMS.
Thanks,

Serendipity uses i9000 rom. Any rom that had a i9000 will have a i9000 modern included
I believe your presumption on fire bird kernel is correct, but flashing modems is very easy
I'm about to flash to Precision then SuckerPunch Kernel. I'll update on results.
I flashed to Perception 3.0 and SuckerPunch #49. WOW! This ROM/Kernel combo is fast!
Hi guys, i just want to ask a question.. i was trying to upgrade my friends vibrant from eclair to froyo, but i used a kernel for froyo on eclair.. it is stocked in the installing area of the kernel and does not do anything... what i have to do to rescue it!?
anybody know the whereabouts of this ROM?
It is probably still hanging out on the Galaxy S I9000 like its always been.
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else had a problem where after the screen times out your gs3 won't turn back on. I know team liquid recently built in lean kernel so I don't know if that is what is causing the issue. Is there a fix or do I have to change the kernel? If changing the kernel is the only option does anyone have any suggestions for battery life and performance? I wiped everything and clean flashed the 2.1 official ROM. I didn't have this issue with the stable build.
Thanks

Never mind, 2.2 update addressed all issues. I knew team liquid wouldn't let us down! Great ROM highly suggested!
