I Odin'd raver's stock kj6 and trying to flash either the kernel or modem because my voice signal sucks for some reason. I was on Valhalla ki3 and my voice signal was excellent. The wifi on kj6 is only slightly improved in my opinion. It can still get inconsistent and when I'm not too far from the router I still get 2 bars. Thanks

The short answer is both. Check the dev section & you can download different modems to flash via ODIN or CWM. Maybe try KI3 & see if it goes back to how ut was.

Could be many factors that affect the modem, such as geographic location. For example, KI1 and KD1 modems works best for me. Just ODIN the Ki3 modem, and you should be good to go.
As far as things affecting the kernel (or what things in the rom the kernel affects), I wouldn't know exactly, other than that it's the core part of the "OS" if you will. I'm sure there are a lot of things the kernel is responsible for, so maybe a dev could shed some light on that.
Thanks. Yeah, I'm hoping some devs will shed some light.

I'm not a dev but the kernel is in charge of what goes on (memory management, hardware access, process scheduling, etc). The source for the modem driver comes from the kernel source tree. When the kernel is compiled the drivers the dev asked the kernel to build get built.
Other parts of the OS can also affect the wifi operations though I don't know what all they are.

The modem, kernel and wifi bins all effect it.
I'm using octane with the wifi bins from kj6 and its working just fine for me

So basically I have to experiment both the kernel and modem. Thanks for the inputs guys.

I added kernel tweaks from raspdeep's I9000 OC and got our bali kernel to OC, I'm running at 1.2 Ghz right now. I haven't tested this in terms of battery life, but there's a good chance your battery life may be less. So use with caution.
This 1.2 Ghz OC feels smoother and faster than stock, and better and more stable than 1.28Ghz. If you tried the 1.28 and gave up, try this 1.2, it's much better. I removed the link to the 1.28Ghz kernel because it was causing too many problems for everyone, and actually being slower due to freezing and overheating.
Battery life and stability not guaranteed
Use setcpu to control your cpu speed.

THIS IS FOR KG2 ONLY!
I have flashed this both on stock and on a custom KG2 rom, they both worked.
link removed because it was unstable - 1.28Ghz
Updated 1.2 KERNEL: http://www.multiupload.com/3QPMQY476F

I provide no guarantees that this will work, make a backup before you try this!
This was really only made for all the kids who kept asking for an OC kernel.
It has been suggested that the 1.2Ghz kernel may be more stable, so I would suggest trying that one instead of the 1.28Ghz kernel
Flashing right now . You beat me too it ;p

Well it works on mine, so it's not broken entirely, so something has to be different here. pulling the link until its more tested.
Now that I think about it, the issue might have been that you were all on rfs, rather than ext4
if you can get back to CWM you can just flash the old kernel

This is a mostly stock AT&T kernel I've packaged up. Its features include the BLN patch, USB-OTG support and in-kernel NFS and FUSE modules. The ramdisk has been tweaked to support init.d scripts, adb as root and boot animations (on those ROMs that support it - such as my Alien ROM).
I've tried to keep any other changes to a minimum. There is no UV/OC patching, etc as this kernel along with Alien ROM already perform outstanding.
You can grab it here.
Version 0.2 with NLS UTF-8 support is here.
Version 0.3 based on the UCLA3 kernel is here. I recommend you use the UCLA3 modem from here.
If you want to revert to stock AT&T 2.3.6 UCKK1, you can get it here. Thanks to pookieguy for the stock files!
Source is here.

Even though I am accustom to zImage kernels and these are forign to me....I am no stranger to source. I have to say good job.
I am currently in the process of repacking a stock kernel, and am having a tremndous amount of trouble. I believe its my repacking scripts and methods....never the less, I am working on a rom release (without a device no less)
And with your permission I would be very pleased to include this kernel with the distrubtion.
May I?

How its battery life...will it work on skyrocketeer?
Sent via rooted SkyRocket
Battery life is the best I've seen. I'm running this on Skyrocketeer with the conservative governor set and the screen off frequency set at 192. Unlike Da_G's higher performance kernel, this one keeps the 2nd core offline until there is a heavy load, greatly increasing my battery life. I still get a 6400 score on CF-bench, while overclocked to 1.78 on Da_G's I get around 7800.
NM i got it.

I'm running the exact same setup with zero issues. Seems to be a good combo for now.
I have skyics 7.4 running great. I just flashed faux 10m kernel and bam my auto rotation is reversed. I meant when I hold phone in portrair, it display landscape and vice versa.
Anyone know how to fix this issue? I tried to search but couldn't find a definitive answer. BTW, I have ATT skyrocket phone.
Many thanks
It sounds like you don't have the correct kernel for the Skyrocket. Is this the Kernel you are using?

Go back to an EP4D based ROM, like Tweaked 1.5. Otherwise, someone will have to either modify the stock kernel or we'll need to wait until the source is released for it. Is RFS that much of a problem for you? I don't really have any performance issues with it on FP1.

I've been running rfs since FP1 came out and haven't had any issues with it. I probably would run ext4 if it were available, but I don't have any lag or any problems with rfs. They've gotten it pretty solid in recent builds.
Yeah I havent noticed any real problems with it but its just the reputation rfs has for being laggy

I believe most of that reputation is earned by misinterpreting Quandrant scores. Yes ext4 is much faster in raw read/write speeds, but raw speeds don't matter that much in the grand scheme of things unless you're streaming large amounts of data off of I/O. You will almost never being doing that on a smartphone.
Yeah I didn't notice any difference after using it for a day now

Check your wifi proxy settings. It should be blank.
FP1 source is out now, so we'll hopefully have a source compiled kernel in the next week or two.
