[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khar00f:
Good day everyone,

I have done my fair bit of reading in the past few months since I got my first android device (X10) when it launched (sold it 3 weeks later... lol) and since i have been browsing and reading posts after posts on diff. phones, after i had sold my X10 I was very interested in the EVO 4G due to screen size was on then verge of buying it, then I started working for Bell and the SGS came out, and I was sold.

So now I have an SGS i9000M, all this to bring you guys to my questions... general yet specific.

I started reading about roms/kernels/mods/etc... when I first got my SGS and took a dip and did my first flash with stock SGS Froyo 2.2 rom from another region, since it's still not out here from Bell (cell provider in Canada). when Bell UGJK3 came out, I jumped to that.. and finally, when Doc released UGJK3 1.x.. I said wth, let me go crazy and try one of them custom roms.

.... one word to describe it... WOW....

I was amazed at how smooth, fast, responsive the whole thing became. Needless to say I was hooked. Never would I go back to a Stock rom.

Now onto my question (if you're still reading, thank you)

I'm reading a lot about roms and kernels, so I did some research but I still have some unanswered questions.

1st) I read about a kernel K10x either 256 or 500, can someone tell me what that kernel is oc'ing? I have very good pc knowledge but phone wise = 0, on pc when you oc,. you can either oc the bus speed or the multiplier, obviously it's not the multiplier, so by that logic it's the bus speed, if default is 256, means multiplier is 4, since cpu is 1ghz, but then if it's oc'd to 500, means we're running a cpu at 2ghz?

Please someone clarify and clear that confusion for me....

2-A) I'm using Doc's 1.x for Bell because of the MODEM and CSC, I wanna try diff Doc's roms, like v9 or even other roms altogether, like ultimate etc...

Can I use flash any rom, and then with Odin flash, the modem and CSC file from Bell's UGJK3? will is break the rom? or would it still function perfectly but would have the proper APN once I change the CSC in the menu to BMC and allow for the proper frequencies usage (such as 850)... which brings me to part B of question 2...

2-B) I know when you change the CSC or do a hard reset everything gets flushed/wiped, if i have a custom rom installed and do that (a hard reset or change CSC) will the rom still work the way it was originally but with the added software/bloatware from the CSC, meaning will it still be optimized, snappy, and everything else that goes with it, or does it revert it back to "stock" rom, would I lose say my zipalignement or would the rom become odexed etc...

3) Regarding custom Roms, is it OK to flash say Ultimate 3.0, and then flash YA-OK Kernel? so that the rom would use that kernel if for me I find it runs better that way (regardless if Ultimate uses YA-OK to start with, it's just an example), or say Doc 1.3 Bell, using XXX Kernel. is there any incompatibilities, does a Kernel have to be modified to work with a specific rom etc... Also if say it's possible, do I flash the rom first and then Kernel, or vice versa.

If you're still with me, I appreciate your patience and if you take the time to answer, you have my kind regards.

Thank you in advance,

Rodi
