ICS on JBOOB SPH-M950 Reverbs? New ICS Kernel Needed?

lgoptimusv5

Newbie
No ICS ROMs will run on my JBOOB Reverb, I'm guessing for the same reason the original CWM Recovery didn't work with JBOOB Reverbs' new Bootloader...
("The new bootloader was not passing the display_id to the kernel the same way")
Any chance we need a New altered ICS kernel for JBOOB Reverbs?

I tried installing 3 different ICS Based ROMs on the JBOOB with the same results as the initial CWM Recovery; Brief Blue Flash of screen, then blank screen.
I even tried the CWM restore of the Backup of StockICS.
Stock ICS404 ROM actually played the annoying VirginMobile Jingle, but blank screen.

My reasons for trying ICS on JBOOB Reverb were Random Reboots, and the Notorious Freezing Issues still occurring.
(Random Reboots seemed to occur more with Apps that use Location Services)

-So far the JB ROMs/Kernels I've tried: (No overclocking)
Stock JBOOB with MiRaGe_icon_kernel_94_09042013 [Freezes]
Stock JBOOB with MiRaGe_icon_kernel_95_09082013 [Freezes]
PartyTime v2.5 (JB base) with MiRaGe_icon_kernel_95_09082013 [Freezes+Reboots]

Currently I just installed Stock Deodexed JB ZJones with MiRaGe_icon_kernel_96_09132013.
Loaded up with many Apps, No Freezes yet but still too early call...

There's NO DOUBT that MiRaGe_icon_kernel_9x_09xx2013 is a WAY better alternative than the StockJB Kernel, but my feeling is the Reverb will never run JB as well as ICS.
However, I've yet to have the opportunity to compare the 2 as no ICS ROMs work on my JBOOB Reverb.

Anyone successfully installed an ICS Based ROM on their JBOOB (JellyBean OutOfBox) Samsung Galaxy Reverb SPH-M950?
