Somehow the ROMs do not come with kernels, so after you have flashed the ROM, you need to flash the kernel too.

Once you are rooted, pick a ROM and kernel from here {List}[4.15.11] *VZW* CDMA i500 Roms and Kernels - xda-developers.

Just make sure you get the correct kernel for the type of ROM, eg, TouchWiz or AOSP.

As for radio, don't upgrade that YET, just be familiar with flashing ROM and kernel before moving on to that.

Good luck.
