Yep, Heimdall is imo the best bet for flashing things (in this case the kernel) as it's open source and cross-platform, rather than using the Samsung offerings (Odin, which is afaict a
Samsung internal tool that managed to escape into the wild).

Kudos!
No, it should work on all devices. I'm basing on the generic kernel (there are separate versions at the Samsung Opensource download centre for Korea, China and South America), which I think the US device also uses. I think the difference you guys have (i.e. no voice calls) is above the kernel level, and in any case we've not got to the stage where we're going to start looking at how to communicate with the modem.
