It's another leak for the standard vibrant. No one will ever be able to give you a clear answer on whether or not it's better. It's newer, so we just assume it to be better.
It is the leak for the newest modem from samsung firmware update.
I am using the ji5 because it seems to be faster on my phone compared to ka5, ka6, ka7 and kb1. Yup, I tried them all.

Ok so this is probably a very noob question but what is the difference between them all? Are they interchangeable, does one offer better signal than another, are they compatible with all roms or are they rom specific? I currently have jk2 and am rooted with obsidian 4.2 w/ stock kernal. Just curious to know if one may have better signal strength cause the part of town I live in i have poor 3g signal and wonder if there is help available to boost the antenna

I'm a noon and I THINK they're the different baseband versions bcz I have JI6 right now go to setting about phone and baseband version its the last 3 numbers...

Im using jk6 and am now able to get 3g in my apartment where beforhand, on ji6, id be lucky to get any signal at all if i wasnt near a window. The only reason i flashed it was for the wifi-calling and havent even used it once...

JK6 is the newest leaked (Not official OTA) Firmware based on android 2.2
JK2 is a slightly older leaked (Not official OTA) firmware based on android 2.2
JI6 is the second official tmobile firmware for the vibrant and the first OTA update. it is based on android 2.1
JI5 was an official samsung update through the kies program (tmobile advised against using it) it was based on android 2.1
JI4 was a leaked (Not Official OTA) Firmware based on android 2.1
JI2 was a leaked (Not Official OTA) Firmware based on android 2.1
JFD is the original stock vibrant firmware based on android 2.1
each one has a different modem and so signal will differ a bit between them.
but the firmware version does not always mean that you have that modem (it depends on the developers preference, or your own a lot of 2.1 roms were based on JI6 but used the JI2 modem)
Ok thanks for that info. I believe I have jk2, is it possible to download just the modem from jk6 or not

Thanks
UPDATE: So I flashed the JL1 modem and while GPS gets pretty much an instant lock, my DL speeds dropped about 500kbs, UL speeds went up about 100kbs?!? And signal stays pretty constant, though i still dont have anybetter 3G in my house. Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Any touchwiz froyo roms that work good and improve performance? I am one of the few that really likes the touchwiz theme on samsung but would like to upgrade to Froyo.
Nero v5 TW Edition
If you want TWiz, then why not go with the latest Samsung froyo leak - KA5? I am using it and its snappy, fast, and bug-free as far as I can tell.

Agreed. Stock KA5 froyo is much better than the stock eclair. Even without a lag fix, it's snappy and responsive. If you don't need the full custom rom experience and like touchwiz, it's a good one.
This is probably close to the official OTA - if samsung ever gets around to releasing it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm also running the stock KA5 but I added the voodoo kernel on top of it.
It's been great so far. I had one issue where the phone wouldn't lock but a reboot fixed that and it's only happened once in 5 days.
All the lockups and crashes my phone was having before are all gone. Plus battery life seems to be better.
I came from stock JI6 with OCLF.
Also, it was pretty easy to do with ODIN and I kept all my apps and data.

Here you go. It's the original leak.
Just ODIN it in the PDA field. Only thing I had to reset was my widgets. Everything else was exactly like it was before.

Thanks. I used it to upgrade a friend's Vibrant. I use Axura myself but both of my friends who has a Samsung Vibrant is tired of waiting on the Froyo upgrade and finally broke down and asked me to help them out. They however just wanted the stock so that is what they got.
+1 for Nero 5. Have never had one FC with this rom. Flawless.

Looks like KA6 is out too? Should I just flash that? Can anyone post information on how to flash on the vibrant? I know how it works on the nexus one but not the vibrant.
I'm talking about this rom, please say its better then KA5

Thanks.
I wanted to know why all the devs are now using the 2.2.1 version. What is the point of porting Froyo when GB is already out? Also, why is 2.2.1 better than the older versions of Froyo? I've searched around and can't really find anything discerning 2.2.1 from older versions. TY!
b/c
b/c a stable 2.3 has not been developed yet. the 2.2.1 isn't all the way there yet either, however it's much, much more functional and will probably be stabilized much sooner than any 2.3 rom. I say probably b/c of the new 2.3 leak that is coming to the international galaxy s soon, then hopefully the usa variants...
2.2.1 utilizes the full potential of our phone. Unlike 2.2
It's more stable and 2.2.1 was specially built FOR Galaxy S Series.
From what I've read not even the current 2.2.1 roms out there utilize the GPU acceleration, or not well anyway.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
2.2.1 comes from the i9000 whereas 2.3 is only available on the nexus s. Although both those phones are similar to the vibrant the i9000 is much more similar.

Umm what..?
Hi you guys. Please forgive a n00b girl's question... But...
I have had my fascinate for a while (Oct 2010) but at times the reception was horrible and I absolutely came to despise the stock Touchwiz ROM.
So, just as I was getting to my wits' end (and jump ship to a better phone), the official froyo release came along and most of my cures were answered. In an attempt to get the froyo upgrade to take (I had the dreaded update failure issue), I've rooted my fascinate and experienced the joys of custom ROMs, kernels, and mods.
So, now, I am LOVING the fascinate... But the signal still seems to suck compared to other VZW 3G phones.
So... What radio versions work best? I have the ED01 running on mine using the Evil Fascination 3.5.1 and OTB 1.3 kernel.
Do any seem to get better reception?
Thanks, guys! Keep up the good work!

I have updated PRL... Haven't tried EC01. Is it better than the ED01 that comes with the froyo OTA?
I'm using ED01 with the Community ROM. My device seems little faster with GPS lock than EC01 was but every device acts different.

The conventional wisdom is that ec01 was just a leaked-and-renamed version of what was shortly thereafter released as ed01.
It's possible that ed01 was a slightly later build... I've seen no consensus on either being better than the other, but ed01 was the one that got officially released.
More recently (last week), vzw pushed an ota update to ed03 which included a new modem. you can get ed03 by following the same instructions found here to "get to ed01 quickly". We've not yet seen a flashable packaging of the ed03 modem afaik.
I'm running the ed03 modem, it runs fine but I can't say I've seen obviously better reception than ed01.

I see that in the Dev section there are several Roms that appear to use a radio greater than ED05.
What are the current radios for stock and leaked?
Thanks
A partial answer is that EH09 and EI20 are system leaks radios.
So, in short I will be sticking with ED05 for the time being until I sort it out and find any information on stability.

Best radios, according to the majority of users are ec 09 and ed 05
tsm res1.2, TKSGB 11-06, lag fix
EDO5 is what I am currently using and have noticed better battery performance. I haven't seen anything of the ones you have mentioned. The EDO5 is the latest official release. I would stick with that. New radios or basebands that are leaked could possibly not be finished or cause horrible battery times. I would stick with what you have. Just my two cents. If anyone has tested one of these newer releases then post it here. I am open to using new radios if it makes battery life better than the ED05 baseband.

The roms based on eh09 and ei20 are from other galaxy s phones other than fascinate (mesmerize if not mistaken) which our awesome devs have ported for our phones. The radios cant be used on the fascinate so stick with one of the tried and true fascinate radios.
Will the capitvate radios work?

I think not. Most use ec09 or ed05 fascinate radios.

I have been out of the Fascinate loop for a little over a month. Let me just say that the devs here and an unlocked bootloader really make development much quicker.
What I am saying is that a bunch has gone on here in my absence.

between eh03, ec09, and ed05... ec09 gives me the best results >eh03>ed05. I have seen quite few people reporting they get the best speeds with eh03 but im not seeing it. I suggest trying all three and determine what works best for your area.

I think I will test ec09 and just see what I get. I'm not that impressed with ed05. I feel like I got better performance from eb01.

Not that anyone cares but I have been testing ec09 radio all afternoon and I get substantially better download and upload speeds than I did with ed05. Thanks for the advice guys.
