Howdy fellas. I just wanted to say thanks a million-5 for all the effort and communication this forumn has. As well as thanks for the tons of useful items to help our phones run better so we can enjoy them on a more personal fun level.
I have searched and tried multiple Radio roms. I have only thus far ever used the Energy roms and not to stray someone from another rom or nothing but so far they run super great.
My primary post is to let people know that in the Ste. Gen, Farmington, Park Hills, Festus Missouri areas that the Radio version 1.02.25.32 has been by far the best Radio Rom (AT&T btw) that I have tried. Places where I couldnt talk at all, it still works. Battery life appears to not be hurt much either. I am still learning a tons of stuff from this forum and I know from my own experience that it can sometimes be hard to find information that applies directly to you. So if anyone from these areas I just wanted to confirm that (im my opinion) this rom is what you need.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone for your great and hard work and useful information. It is appreciate more than you know because im sure people that do appreciate it dont post it sometimes.
Thanks
JJMAN
Fuze, Energy Rom WarHawk, Radio 1.02.25.32
I live in St louis, and im using an energy rom version from a couple weeks ago and havent had a problem, NRGZ28 makes the best roms. And the 1.14.25.05 radio has been the best radio for me and the GPS syncs really fast!
I think this is more a radio question than a ROM question. I would search the radio threads to see if anyone had checked on or about your area. BTW I'm using 1.14.35.25 with matching rilphone.dll and it works great, especially with the GPS...very short lock times...less than 10 secs usually.
Good Luck
I know that it depends where you live etc, but i noticed a few other HD2 users from my neck of the woods (south wales) just wondered what radio your using on your HD2's and how you finding the signal etc.
I'm currently using radio 2.12.50.02_2
And battery life is good, signal is ok but no where near as good as my old sony ericsson's.
I also get a fair bit of fluxuation in the signal, this morning i tried to reply to a text and it wouldn't send, about 4 sec later had nearly a 3 bar signal and resent and it was fine.
Does this just happen ? is the hardware just not as good as the old phone's used to be ?
Or has someone tried a different radio in this sort of area and got better results.
I had a HTC Magic and the signal wasn't as good as the sony's and my mates are saying there Iphone 3gs phones are poorer to than older phone's, so are these smartphones just not as good a phone as the older ones ?
Thanks for any info...
I have the same question Looking for a great Radio for Poland/ Central Europe.

your tempting the wrath of mods asking questions like that, its completely subjective, meaning everyone has different ideas on whats best and we're not grown up enough to have civilised debates on such subjects so id give up and just try them one at a time, be sure to use the correct .50 / .51 version to go with your ROM otherwise you will have some issues ive had better luck with the more recent ones however, in my opinion the early ones (2.07.*)had better sound but the battery on my device with the programs i used didnt last as long, then we went through a period.....in my opinion.....where the sound was shoddy, and now the most recent ones seem to be holding their own according to me, that is
mines 2.12.50.02_2 but make sure you get the right one or you may end up bricking it!

Ok I get it, thanks. One other thing I'm unsure of -> are radios supposed to be installed before the roms? or can it be installed after the rom? I understand Hspl is needed first of all..
Yeah i get its subjective which is why i said "people's Experiances" as for getting the mods all wound up, i would have thought it quite usefull to know what radio people are using for specific area's and how they have found them in day to day use, could save someone an awfull lot of messing about which i presumed was the whole purpose of this site

Agree with Wakers on this one..
Should be a thread of what ppl use for their region that suits them best
I have a pretty bad signal in my appartment, so its essential to have the right radio version. I tried a couple of radios and 2.06.51.07 is by far the best. The signal bars are the same as with any other radio, but calls don't drop and data connections are stable.
Yes, HSPL first, very important, then i thinki did ROM and then Radio

will help you the most.
yes in an ideal world we could all get along fine but every now and then we get people treating us like children it has got better recently but to give you an idea, not too long ago we were told subjective comments are not aloud and we cant say, xyz ROM best incase we hurt the feelings of cooks, apparently human beings lack the ability to understand the difference between subjective comments and facts, but anyway, read that link end to end, read some of the comments after it and chances are any question you may have will have been answered already on there,.

Heres my way of flashing...
Task29
Flash Radio of my choice
Flash Rom of my choice
Hard Reset
Flash the same ROM...
All these done without having the phone pass the bootloader. Until the last step.
Which ROM should I flash to get the maximum battery life from the HD2? Is simpler ROM better or not?
It's hard to say because so many factors play an effect. If you have the perfect radio for your area and it's known to work well with the ROM you will usually get decent results for most ROMs. But if I had to decide I would say one of Miri's ROMs or the UnOff series.

I guess this thread will be closed soon. There are several threads asking which Rom to be the best? And you will get as much different answers as people write to your thread.
The answer is:
it depends mostly on the Radio ROM and the applications you are using. So you might get a longer battery life when you disable all those background agents for mail, twitter, weather and so on.
So you should better test for the best Radio ROM in your area with your needs and take a look at the existing threads how to save battery life
Here's something to help you test the radio (should be pretty easy to tell without it though)

Calm down guy, it's called a search button I'll give you a hint "best hd2 rom for battery". There have been many threads about this. No need to huff and puff.
Don't be stupid. Different radios work different with different ROMs. And then your location also decides what radio is good for you. So go try them out.
Personally, I like 2.12.50.02 and 2.10.50.26 with a lot of ROMs. I know that because I tried them.
So I installed a custom ROM and decided that it's time to cell the SGS2. I need to put it stock and I'm wondering which one would be the best for North american buyers in general? Which Radio shoul I install? Anything else I should know?
The phone is a Virgin Mobile SGS2.
Thanks

Best ROMs are subjective, try a few out and make your own decision.
I searched and didn't find a direct and clear message on the topic so I figured i'd formally ask rather than accidentally doing something i'll regret.
For the wonderful ASOP builds that the awesome community has provided, is there a need to update radios? I ask as my baseband is currently 1.22.10.0310r/1.22.10.0308r and I see that "2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r"" is the newest.
So the question becomes, should I even be concerned with updating radios? If It's suggest to update, what is the recommend most stable radios to run.
Thank you all for the amazing work & help!
ps: running GrayTheWolf 9/12/2012
Either one seems to work fine to me. The only difference is that the newer ones seem like they may run slightly cooler and use slightly less battery, but it may be total placebo.
