First off, i apologize for my noob questions but i would prefer to ask these before i mess with my phone. so here goes:
what's a kernel and what does it do?
same for modem (or are they the same)
what is the difference between odexed or deoexed and is there an advantage to one or the other?
what are some good ROMs for the SGS4G?
i'll post more as i think of them

I'll post this in pretty basic terms for ease of reading.
A kernel in general terms is what makes the phone run. It's the nuts and bolts. In linux you have different kernels and they all provide certain features. ROM's run on the kernel and provide the screens if you will, the features of the phone. Kinda like your computer's operating system.
Modems/Radios are firmware that control the baseband radio chipsets on your phone device to communicate to the data network for your carrier. You connection to your carrier. Specific to your phone and carrier.
When you have an odexed system you basically have apk's and odex files inside of your file system. The idea behind it is that odex files load up on boot to help speed up loading the APK's. However, it makes it hard to modify the system APK's since it loads parts from odex and parts from the APK.
Deodexing is basically repackaging the APK's and odex files so that they are reassembled and therefore making sure the application package is back in once piece.
This allows the ability to make theming modifications (battery, clock color etc.) without conflict, knowing that the application package is back together.
There are no ROM's per se yet for the SGS4G there is the Bali Kernel which adds some great enhancements made by Dr Honk, see it in the SGS4G android development forum.
There are also SGS4G deodexed kernels such as VUVKD1 DEODEXED from Krylon360 or Whitehawkx, also in the Android Development forum. These builds of the kernel provide the ability for theming, with Whitehawkx build you have the ability to do custom lock screens, there is a mod for supporting custom boot animations etc.
Hopefully this helps you understand more

ok, so Krylon360 is working on CWM for the SGS4G and (at some point) talks about using KD1, so how can I go about flashing KD1 to my phone without using a windows PC (i have a mac)?
Sorry for noob question. I've been studying hard lately and with all the recent developments it had been overwhelming. Anyway.
I have been trying to download the modded recovery binary needed for CWM 3.0 directly to my phone using the multiupload link provided by Krylon360.
When I try to download it on my phone I get cannot download content not supported on my phone. Am I doing something wrong that I can't download straight to my phone? Do I need to check to a box somewhere?
Do I have to download the recovery binary and CWM to a computer first and then to my phone?
Is there a way I can do this with just my phone? I have Root explorer pro, super manager, file explorer, ect...I was really hoping to do it using my phone because I don't have full time access to a pc.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I downloaded it to my computer and then moved it to my phone using Awesome Drop (found in the Market) and then put the binary in the proper folder using Root Explorer but since you don't have full time access to a computer I don't know how you would go about this. I would suggest just using the limited time that you have on the computer, it should only take a few minutes

Thanks, however I don't necessarily want to flash a rom. She is very happy with touchwiz, I just want to be able to delete bloatware, make backups, etc....basically I just want her to have root access. If she wants to flash a rom she can do that later, it's her first smartphone and she's not that adventurous.
There's stock roms rooted as well such as kd1(last official rom released for sgs4g) and most of the roms still use touch wiz. They can be found in the sgs bible. As long as they have the word "stock" in them they are just that... Stock with every piece of bloatware included.

IMO, you should flash KH2 and drhonk's kh2 kernel. It adds ext4 support, auto-roots and adds red cwm, but leaves things stock from there on. There's a raw odexed leak available on these forums, as well as a stock but deodexed (well, the crt on/off effect is added), as well as whitehawk's Valhalla, which is stock (and deodexed), except it has the power menu mod and custom lockscreens (9 of them, zOMG).
My personal recommendation is the odexed leak and drhonk's kh2 kernel. I'm not big on deodexed roms, myself, but it's more a personal choice than anything. Also, if you go this route, all you need is Odin
Moving to Gingerbread is the best thing I ever did on this phone. I strongly urge you to dump froyo straight away, and make the move to gb!
Hope this helps you decide what to do
[Odin]What Time is it? It's Leak Time T959VUVKH2 Build Date 08/11
[Kernel][GB][KG4/KG6/KH2] Stock Kernel + CWM + Voodoo EXT4 Lagfix
[ROM-Leak][CWM] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKH2 Deodexed + CRT On and Off Enabled!
[ROM] Valhalla v1.1 [KH2][9 Lockscreens!][9.15.2011]
Oh, and, if you're like me, you HATE the T-Mobile jingle/animation.
Here's a little package I cooked up for CWM to replace the T-Mobile boot/shutdown animations and sounds with those from the Galaxy S II (GB only):
[MOD][CWM][GB] Galaxy S II Boot/Shutdown Animations w/Sound
I would love to backup first, but I don't know how if I'm not already rooted. Titanium only works with root.

Why don't you just use Odin to flash Bali on froyo. Backup. Flash gb. Restore data. Not sure if that will work. I remember there being froyo to GB issues. just list your apps and start from scratch. It's worth it, as jay says.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
If you want to restore your froyo apps on GB, you can either use Titanium Backup, or these steps in the advanced restore option in CWM, as tested by another member here:
Flash whichever GB ROM you want according to instructions, but don't boot the rom when complete (do a battery pull if you have to).
Flash Bali Kernel on top of your GB rom, DO NOT BOOT THE ROM
Use CWM, go to restore, then advanced restore your data, DO NOT BOOT THE ROM
Reboot recovery, and flash one of DrHonks GB kernel
That *should* restore your data. I personally haven't tried this, but a few members reported that it works.

Anything Hellraised should be OK.
Anything based on the AT&T leaks - beware.
I would think only stock (or mostly stock) AT&T ROM's would have CIQ. Ported I9000 ROM's, CM7/MIUI and Rogers ROM's are most likely clean.
Thanks. It's too bad I've preferred the ATT based ROMs so far.
when i saw the video on carrier iq i went through my phone trying to find evidence of it on my phone running cm7. it appears to be clean unless its running at some sort of linux level. not sure about what the phone is actually logging to internal/unshared logs though.
CM7 is ALWAYS CIQ-free.
The original Rogers UXKG3 release had CIQ but it was one of the first things gtg removed in Infused 2.x - Rogers CIQ was far less invasive than other CIQ implementations.
Froyo AT&T ROMs seem fine.
Gingerbread AT&T leaks for Infuse seem to be bad news.
I've been seeing people Hellraising what appear to be Captivate AT&T leaks - these could have CIQ.
For those wondering how to check if their ROM has CarrierIQ:

Oh, I thought Froyo didn't have it... I haven't run Froyo in so long I don't even remember...
Anyone know of a better way to remove it from the new gingerbread leaks?
My custom UCKJ4 rom tested positive for CIQ using TrevE's log testing app. Without hoping for much, I used the removal feature which results in a boot-loop.
I started picking at framework.jar and framework-res.apk to no avail. Specifically, I removed the folder com/CarrierIQ from framework.jar and removed the CarrierIQ calls and permissions from AndroidManifest.xml in framework-res.apk.
I might be having trouble maintaining correct syntax in the xml, but honestly I think it's a signing issue with the apk. I have tried copying the original META-INF folder into the root of the apk, I have tried signing the apk. I have tried isolating it to one file or the other, but each attempt results in an animation loop. In theming the framework, I have typically always had to copy the original AndroidManifest.xml along with the META-INF to maintain the signature.
I can provide logcat if anyone actually wants to look.
In recompiling framework.jar you have to make sure you copy the updated classes.dex file into the recompiled jar

This quote is from AdamOutler's Google+ regarding CIQ
Its fragments of code scattered across the entire kernel. Its compiled into the kernel and runs undetected as a root kit. The logging is so deeply integrated that by removing files which contain CIQ, your device would not boot. It would take weeks of programming to remove it, then you compile a new kernel and install it on your device... then your apps would start failing.... yep, its in your email, browser, and other parts... its called a root kit because it runs undetected and causes undesired activity.

Superuser is tough to getr rid of. Muyoso found that it is actually reinstalling itself upon reboot after deletion. Thanks to him for pointing it out in his efforts to get back to stock. He tore through the scripts deleting all instances of su. PM Muyoso if you need help with this.

Ready to try this one in a sec downloading now.
Question though is there anything broken in this at all (besides tthe skipping keyboard but shadow kernel fixes that) since they fixed the gps? About to put this on my cousins epic

Aw, hell... I'm game. Let's see what its got under the hood.
Nice thing about stock ROMS is you never feel bad about flashing a great theme on top... like a nice KennyG blue...
Good job kenny! Ill have a mirror up in a sec

It's actually all ready for a theme and a boot ani. I didn't expect to see the flashing ANDROID when booting. I had trouble connecting to my wifi router but that POS always gives me issues. It is all stock files so if anything is broken it is Samsung's fault...LOL.
Now I just need help from a DEV to learn where everything is that needs editing, like how to insert the hotspot hack, remove battery full popup, and all the other goodies we love.
To silence battery full beep for now use root explorer or ES File explorer and push this to system\media\audio\ui

You may have to delete a live wallpaper or something because my system directory was full.

Alright! Time for an FC09 Peoples Rom! MTD, v6, full theme selections (red theme, blue theme, neon green, neon orange), all fixes (gps, connection optimizer etc) no bloatware.
Wondering if you could find Sensei and use his as a base...???
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Both Sensei, Toadlife and Hoffman are tied up with life right now. I will PM all 3 to see if one of them can just point me in the right direction.

LOL...important safety tip...don't flash an EL30 theme on this! Stuck at Samsung. Reflash brought everything back including data which is pretty cool.

So, over the weekend I flashed Tab2Lite and I'm loving the result. However, I would like to add back one or two of the apps that Metallice removed in the de-bloating process. I have my original nandroid backups as well as his RemovedApps.zip but I'm not quite sure where to start. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

If you look at the tab2lite thread it explains how to re-add some of the apps and has a link to all of them for download.
I've read through the thread several times, I tend to read such things instead of jumping in blind . In the past I've either run full-custom as-is or full-stock so this is my first attempt at customizing a custom ROM. I know I can drop the apk back into /data/app or /system/app (and did, in fact, for a quick fix) but I would rather like to know how to put the bloat back into the ROM so that if I reflash later I will have all the fiddly bits I want. So, I guess, the question is really more along the lines of "how do I customize and repackage a custom ROM" but I didn't want to be quite so generic with the original question.
