[Modems] [I897] [2.3.3] Captivate kernel compatible - minor findings

The following is a list of modems I have tried with my Captivate.
Notes, Setup, etc.
Cognition 5 b2 kernel, provides root and Clockwork capabilities
Stock 2.3.3 KF1 ROM, removed AT&T bloat that's all
"Tests" were done with Speedtest
General observations were noted in the Saratoga/Albany, NY to NYC, NY area.
Davlik cache wiped before each modem flash via Clockwork
GPS testing using AngryGPS
Looks like
doesn't work here, so just follow the link to the google doc until I find an easier way of doing this.

I will add more as they are available

If anyone has any modems that work with I897 Captivate(!not 9000 series) kernels please feel free to list them, I am searching the forums but I know I am missing some. Clockwork or Odin doesn't matter to me. ;-)
These will continue to be tested on ONLY Captivate based kernels.

Thanks for sharing the results...upload speed of the JL3 is interesting indeed.

How did you flash these modems. I wanna try kb1, but can I flash via cwm, considering I'm on cog 5 beta 2 with cwm 4? Is it compatible?

I think I am going to reflash that one today and let it sit for a while, I have had poor results with any of the newer modems and this build.

I just used Odin3 1.81 to flash these on there. The original files are in the CWM zip files and can be placed in the Phone section of Odin.

What I did was:
1) Grab cwm2 KB1 zip and open it
2) Grab any cwm3 modem zip, open it and replace the modem.bin file with the modem.bin from the KB1 zip
3) Copy cwm3 zip to phone
4) Flash with cwm4 (yes it's compatible)
Here is the one I used. Props to devz3r0 for the cwm3 zip I used.

As a follow up the JL1 is completely unreliable in my short experiences with it.
First and Second run with Speed test were great, then I got a call and quality was so-so. Then after the call I couldn't get the data to reconnect and rebooted. Now the speeds are very slow ping times in the 2000ms range and 3G performance is abysmal at best most of the time it just locks up and says network error.
I doubt I will be able to use this much longer today.

I was right I couldn't deal, so I am currently running JJJV5, yes it's a 9000 modem :X I'm going to run this for a while and see if it's stable on KF1. I like the speed of 3G with this one and signal strength seems up there as some places where I would get 2 EDGE bars before I now get 2 3G bars. As stated I will keep this one for a while and post back some experiences.
Ha! Data is awesome, but you can't hear the phone.. So there you go, useless on a Captivate kernel

I see you added JJJV5 to your results.. I've been dying to try this modem after reading all of the good feedback, but I thought it was a I9000 modem and wasn't compatible.
Edit: Didn't see the above post before replying... Let us know how it goes!

Still looking for some more Captivate modems to try out, if there is anymore.

Unless I missed something I believe all i9k modems must have a i9k compatible kernel to work properly. Yes data will work just fine but voice will not work.

Right as I found out, removed from the spread sheet and added the note in red you quoted

Just added CWM3 downloads to the modems in the list, just so they are all in one place.
Let me know if the links don't work for you.

JV5 works great and it uses 850 by default. No modem dance required.

I have a feeling that is the way mine is looking too, the non-9000 builds simply aren't giving me the service level I require. My data speed is crap, the GPS is horrid and I can't seem to find the fix no matter what I try.

Appreciate it, cool stats!

I thought trying something actually made for our phones would be better, but far from it. I will now stick with i9000 roms and modems, they just work better,faster and are more feature packed. I guess the carriers requirements are the problem. Thanks for your research.

well there is a whole rom in there, the modem would effect data gps and reception and call quality. the rom may make a good base for a custom froyo rom. who knows.
I just wonder why they are still building froyo roms if rogers already has gb? seems odd unless this is really old.

I would assume no one would want that rom because we have gingerbread, but the modem might help with gps, call reception and data speed for current gingerbread rom.

Can anyone please bundle the modem here into a CWM flashable zip.

Quite a few people like their phone to just "work"; You know, camera, video acceleration, 4G, little things like that...

There are a few reasons to still be on froyo. Gimped video recording and no hdmi (though not a problem for most) being a couple. Personally I'm back on froyo for now until gb gets official for att.

Yeah I know what you mean, but that is stock rom which is slow and buggy and I don't think any developer would take their time to modify it when the official gingerbread rom should be around the corner.

Any GB roms that support HDMI and or 30FPS?

I am finaly getting some time to sit down and work see what I want to do with my Infuse. I have been doing a lot of reading and searching. I would love to go back go back to a GB rom. I loved them on my Captivate.
Saw how to get back to stock. Always want to know how to do that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
In searching it seems like of I go to a GB rom that I see have the issue with video only shooting at 15fps and the HDMI does not work. I do not think I am finding any that do not have this issue. Am I correct on these finding?
Is this the only major under line problem that is with GB roms? I know every rom is going to have some issues. I really want to make sure I am good with working BT since I live near Chicago and if you talk on the phone you have to have BT or you will get your butt pulled over.
I am happy with the performance of my phone. I am not in great need to OC it. Though I am seeing people getting up to 1.6g.
I am just trying to figure out where to start. I saw a post today about a leaked GB rom for the Infuse but it was closed and the orginal post was removed. I am guessing that it was fake or something was up with it.
The HDMI out is not a huge issue for me. I would like to keep the 30fps. I do not use video that often. But there are time when all of a sudden I need to shoot video and I do not have my normal camera on me. That is where I love my phone.

In short, as of today, on this forum, the answer is no. Gotta wait until AT&T rolls out GB.

OK thanks. Think I might hold off on going to GB for now then. Hope I can hold out. LOL

Actually, there is a deodexed rom in the developement section which is of the new beta gingerbread for AT&T. The kernel that came with the leak supports HDMI out and 30fps. Although, some users report unreliable cell connections or loss of signal.
Search around, you'll find it.

Other than the new UCKI3 leak - nope.

Thank you.
Think I will give it a try.

the link above doesnt support hdmi with the included kernel. you must flash the ucki3 kernel but recovery is hosed. i didnt want the complaints or redundant questions about how to flash out of it with no recovery.

for hdmi that would work or you can flash the full odex rom in odin that is posted in the general section.
an easy way to flash the ucki3 kernel without odin if you want to do it that way is to flash the deodexed rom then download sgs kernel flasher from the market. download the full odin package to your phone and open kernel flasher. choose the odin package as the kernel. the app is smart. it will find the zimage in there and flsah it.
remember to backup entropy's kernel first. if you need recovery you will need kernel flasher or odin to restore a kernel kernel with working recovery.
i hope we see something with bootloaders soon because without source code im not sure there will be a rainbow fix.
or if you wait an a few ill post the hdmi kernel as a cwm file. i still recommend to have kernel flasher either way. (it flashes cwm packaged kernels as well, even if they are packaged with a rom)

For me I flashed a lot of ROM's with my Captivate. I learned a lot. Number on this was if you are only 90% sure on something ask. Saw way to many people mess up their phone because they did not ask. So I got in this habbit.
I am not worried about doing it. I want to make sure I am doing it right. Once I get the first few flashes down in this phone I will be happy. It is just that the Infuse it a little different then the Captivate with flashing.

Good news in this particular case - It's next to impossible to accidentally clobber our bootloaders. (Heck, we haven't even successfully flashed Rogers bootloaders onto an AT&T Infuse) Only one Infuse has ever had its bootloaders clobbered, and that was part of a highly dangerous experiment for which the device owner volunteered.
Pretty much for the time being (UCKH1 could change things once someone figures out how that update flashed a bootloader), it's basically impossible to fully brick a device with Odin/Heimdall - or CWM either.

[ROM][deodexed][leak][beta]I997UCKI3

this is the UCKI3 leak deodexed and packaged with entropy's daily driver kernel.
it is CWM flashable for all to try but it is my first deodex and this is a test build from samsung so expect issues.
the kernel from the odin package gives me unreliable cell connections. i will post it later for those that want hdmi and i hope others experience with it is different.
there will be more to come on this, i need to come up with a good rom name then the debloating and stock app modding can begin. i plan to atleast remove the battery full notification, theme the launcher (because atleast in froyo the launcher needed to suport hdmi so im not sure i can just use gtg's great launcher) theme the notification bar and who knows what else.
when att releases it officially i will certainly move on to that as a base.
the link is below
flash me if you are brave
edit:
the known issues are that
-entropy's kernel and hellraiser dont seem to like my dock or car dock , no audio over usb (this is not unique to this rom on my phone)
-crazy rainbows if you use the stock kernel (not packaged with the rom for the reason that the incomplatible bootloaders bork recovery, if you are used to using odin you probably dont need this rom as it is still basically stock)
edit:
hdmi supported kernel is now attached. warning! this has no recovery! let the media scanner run before opening the camera or previews will be rainbows.
edit:
-the cell connection with the att kernel can be unreliable but it "seems" to be better if you shut down the phone in flight mode and restart.
-the email app is broke. im not working on a fix yet.
-wifi doesnt work with a rogers based kernel
this whole thing is a learning experience for me. i'm certainly not a gtg or linuxbozo. far from it infact.

You can always pull the modem.bin from the ZIP, and push it to your phone manually, although I don't remember where it goes, someone else will probably say it.
That's what I'll do when I get home, back to my Infuse (took my Inspire to school today so that my friend can play with it, lol).

Could you list links to each modem individually along with the package. The package is nice and all, but I hate to have to download the entire package when a new modem comes out. Either that or dig through the leak thread for the first person to package it up. That is what made GTGs thread so amazing, having the individual link to each modem.

Update: tried KK1, got abysmal data speeds <.2 Mbps, KI3 is still king, followed by KJ2.

He can use the links from gtg's thread for the older modems, then each of the others has been uploaded and posted somewhere else, either in their own thread or in the Leak thread for that release.
