porting kernels to captivate - Captivate General

was wondering if any way to port i9000 kernel to cappy
i know there has to be some editing of keys?
but other than that...
i know for roms you can just take a i9000 rom and use a i897 kernel

No.
you would have to get they're source, reorient it so the screen is correct, and compile it fresh.
And there is a little more to properly porting an I9000 ROM than just Swapping kernels, the home button won't work at all if you only do that.

really?
i've tried a few i9000 roms and then used glitch kernel and it worked fine...
so not sure.

Just trying to clarify

I've searched around, but have yet to find a definitive answer. Can I run ANY i9000 rom on the captivate as long as I use a reorient kernal, such as Setiron's?
run, yes, flawlessly, maybe, won't know until you try it.
That was the intended purpose of the reorient kernels from Xcaliberinhand. Setiron has simply extended Xcaliber's kernel with the tweaks and lagfixes of some of the other i9000 kernels.

Right on. I've been running Tayu's Lite with setirons for the last few weeks. I didn't use the rom supplied in the Dev section, though. I pieced it together separately. This is by far the best setup I have used yet, but after using the cogs previously, i became a flash junkie and want to try something else out.
I am also using Tayutama's rom but I will be trying out cognition once true source code has been released allowing proper kernels and tweaks to be done. I imagine cog will come back with a vengeance after the true update and source are released. Happy flashing.
Can I simply flash a new kernel on top of my ROM? For instance, can I flash SetrioN 1.3.3 if I'm currently runiing 1.2? Just put in in Odin under Phone? PDA?
Still learning here.

what rom are you using? do you mean you are currently running Setiron 1.2?
I need to add a signature.
Running Doc 7.6 with SetrioN 1.2.

If you've made adjustments to you OC/UV, you need to reset those to default. After that, you can just flash the new one right on top using CWM rec.
Thanks. I haven't messed with those settings.
Props to both of you for asking your questions in general. Remember to use a good descriptive subject in the future though.

[Q] ROM and Kernel help

Razor's kernel is the Defuse kernel but yes, you can flash the different kernel over your current rom. But the Defuse kernel does appear to have a couple bugs in it so I wait wait a little bit.
thank you very much
if the android version is the same and they are for the same device it is very likely for the rom and kernel to be compatable. exceptions touch wiz roms need touch wiz kernels, aosp kernels need aosp roms, sense roms need sense kernels. there are some rare situations where a rom and kernel build need to match like some gingerbread versions for the i9000 dont work with kernels from certain other gb versions. but since we only have 2 firmware builds and they dont have a conflict between them you should be able to use any rom with any kernel unless the des did something wierd to get a feature working.

[Q] MIUI - Custom Overclock Kernels which work on it

Hi does anyone have a list or link of kernels that is compatible with MIUI ROM.... because so many of those kernels I have read on the NEXUS S forums are for CM7 but im not sure if it works for MIUI.....
There are a few you can try, look at brainmasters MIUI thread on the second post, they will definitely work. Other kernels will probably work too though since most have been built with Koush's any kernel script.
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.

[Q] about aosp kernels relation to aosp roms.

Question, most phones including the G1 came with an aosp kernel. There is no source for their GB kernel, yet they are able to make the kernel for CM7.
YES, we have the froyo kernel source. So, could we make the froyo cm6 aosp kernel and reverse it just like that of the G1's and build the CM7 kernel from it.
AOSP kernels are reversible. Build an aosp froyo kernel, reverse, rebuild for the Aosp GB kernel.
The G1 does have source =0
Edit: Nevermind, misread OP
I want CM6 FROYO.

It is possible, only issue is I have no clue how to compile the AOSP kernel, otherwise i would have built it by now.

and how do you prepose to sign it?

Dude, no idea what you mean raver, I am talking about cm6.

[Q] where's all the jb kernels?

Maybe I missed something, but I've noticed a huge lack of JB kernels for the infuse, which is pretty odd. are they out there and I'm just blind, or are they way more integrated with the roms now?
Most JB roms, if not all of them, use scott's kernel source. That's practically all there is at this level..

and if you want to get technical we dont have any jb kernel, or ics kernels because every kernel for the infuse (unless it was from back before we got the official GB) are Gingerbread kernel modified to allow compatibility for ICS and JB, so technicially we wont have any jb kernel, but as far as a variety of jb compatible kernels i would believe the reason why we only have one of those is because most of our kernel devs are not doing much with the infuse now, unless it is posted elsewhere and not on xda, but in all actuality why do we need a variety of kernels, the one we have is working excellent and includes OC, and several other performance enhancing features such as ZRAM

Exactly this...our current kernel is phenomenal....and we lack kernel devs...that stuffs confusing...at least to me.
