I want to know of all the modems out there wich one is the best for a rom??
look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9734167&postcount=1
there is not the best modem yet imho, nothing is perfect, but for froyo (2.2) many found that ka5 modem is the most efficient, reliable and fast so far.. modem performance can vary depending on where you are, how good your signal strengths is, what kinds of interference there may be.. so on. try flashing each one yourself - it's pretty quick - and see which one works best for you

Im asking cause someone told me to flash Nero V5 told me that rom was one of the most stable and great for everything i have tried out i guess every rom, and by far i can say tha Bionix V and Axura are the most impressive and then the Flagship. But im just searching and testing, to see what i like most.

sorry i misunderstood and thought you were just looking for all the modems out there- as i edited in my post i think you should really try each one for yourself.. people get various results no matter how new the modem may be.. i got bad results from the initial bionix-v with ka7 modem. no luck with kb1 either. but as soon as i updated to bionix-v v1.2 that comes with ka5 modem, my download/upload speed over 3g and wifi picked up again

Thanks the thing is im from Puerto Rico, and where im at right now i dont have 3g cause the towers arent near, so im judging most of the rom from my wifi signal and of course quality of sound voice, apps, etc etc, with every rom. So that's why im trying to find something that could give my phone the boost to work great

off topic but i wanna talk a bit about sound quality.. i just can't wait to see tw implementing the kernel eugene is testing right now. because of the source code eugene came up with he was able to add support for voodoo sound v4 which will significantly boost sound quality of our handsets. i read hundreds of pages of discussions in i9000 forum regarding supercurio's voodoo lagfix/sound projects, and only heard good things about it although i have not yet tried eugene's kernel myself amidst fear for messing up and being lazy. hopefully teamwhiskey will release a new stable version of bionix with eugene's froyo 2.2.1 kernel with voodoo sound.. it's so exciting already!

I flashed to:
2.2.1 T959UVKB1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Darky's V. 9.3 XWJS5 Extreme _Edition
using a Samsung T959 Vibrant Model Phone
Everything is running well, Awesome ROM, the only two issues I'm having is there seems to be no WIFI calling and I cant receive any text now!
I searched the threads for info on this and this was all I found was A response from a thread responder:quote "Sweet honey is the smoothest out of Bionix and Darkys. At least in my opinion only item not working on it is WIFI calling" unquote
Also need an answer or suggestion on the texting issue as well!
The reason I need the WIFI calling so bad is I live so far out in the country, That I cant get a strong enough signal from T-Mobile's nearest tower to receive or call out, and when I was running the stock Froyo 2.2.1 I was able to call using the WIFI calling with my Broadband connection at my house! And I need the texting for business correspondence as well!
If there anyway to correct this and still use Darkys ROM? And IF NOT! Then what other similar ROMS to Darky's have the WIFI calling, and with no text issues!
Dont want to go back to stock If its avoidable, otherwise if there are no ROMS or fix's then I obviously have no other choice but to go back to Stock Flavor again! Which would be very sad and disappointing!
It is my understanding that none of the 2.2.1 roms are capable of running WIFI calling as of yet. There are a lot of 2.2 roms out by EDT and TW that you can run WIFI calling on. I'm currently on Trigger 2.7.2 and used the bloater app to install WIFI calling and it works like a champ. I was also having some issues with texting as well on one or two of the 2.2.1 roms as well, but not all and couldn't track down the problem. Hope this helps!
So with the Trigger 2.7.2 are you up and running with the text and good telephony using a WIFI AP ??? With 0 defects???
And How is the GPS aquisition capabilities with trigger and what modem does it use?? I Need good GPS routing when I travel for work, just as important as the other agenda's!
If this ROM can provide all Ive asked, then it seems a winner to me, I havent seen any pic's of it though and was wondering if it looks good, also how is the speed with the kernnel it runs on??
I know alot of questions, but still trying to find the right flavor I can stay satisfied with, and stop tweaking for awhile! LOL!!
Anyways thank you for your time and effort. Appreciate YA!

Yep, the WIFI app from the bloater app works great, no problems with calls or texts. GPS also works great, outside get a lock usually 9/11 birds and with using the navigation app, or maps its usually spot on. GPS on the vibrant is never perfect. Trigger is KB1 base with KB1 voodoo kernel and KB1 modem. After flashing Overstock, using quadrant, which isn't an accurate benchmark but can be used for comparisons, it scored mid 1700 to low 1800. Stock kernel scored mid 1400 to low 1500. Keep in mind, all hardware is different and you may not get the same results, and whenever flashing anything, be sure you know how to odin back to stock and read the OP fully! Good luck and hopefully this helps you out!
Cheers!
Also, I do flash the s.gps fix that is posted in the development section.

Hey im currently on phiremod V3 ..which is awesome by the way.. but I was on one forum and they was talking about KA5 and KA1.. Im talking it those are different modems? Can anybody explain the difference between modems...
Sent from my phiremod Vibrant using XDA Premium App
differnet modems have different battery life and signal strength
kb5 is the newest so its suppose to be the best but iv been on ka7 most of the time and havent noticed much difference
ka7 works fine for me
Ka7 came preloaded with my cm7 but it keeps losing signal but i flashed kb5 and it works better no random signal loss so i would recommend kb5
Sent from my CM7 vibrant
I want to say that the different modems help the phone determine how it searches for and utilizes the signal that you are connecting to. It's interesting how something software based can make a difference between a poor signal and/or data speed. Obviously, this is assuming that you're in an area with decent coverage to begin with. =P
Hey...
Like many, been reading this site for years and years... but now its time I start posting. I have a couple a minor questions that I'm sure some of you guys will have no problems in answering. Thanks in Advance.
I just flashed CM7 Nightly #63 galaxymtd on my telus fascinate 3g+, as well, the TK-Glitch kernel v11. It took me the better part of a day to get it down pat, but its awsome. Thats all I got to say about it. Thanks to everyone who was involved in the development.
I have an odin package. The filename has JL3 in it, so I'm assuming its the JL3 modem. It does work when I used it when I was stock.
The only thing I'm wondering right now is... can I flash the stock modem with this CM7 rom/kern.?
I've been reading about the EC09/EC05 modems... from what I can make out, I can't use those right? because they're for Verizon.
Anyone have any suggestions, know of a guides, info of a modem(s) I can use with my rom/kern. combination? or how I can distinguish between the different modems and if they will work with telus.
Thanks
James
Just to revive this question, I just flashed the latest nightly and glitch's v12 beta. and I agree, hands down amazing. Thank you for all the dev's involved. One thing though is that reception is terrible and I was wondering what modems work as well.
Thanks

I too want to know this?
I flashed the telus stock jl3 modem after I tried out CM7 nightly 66. Had no problems sending/receiving text or using wifi/3g
Tried calling myself and my phone rang, but I didn't test the call quality. Flashed back to darkys before recieving any calls, so I can't vouch for it, but I don't imagine it would be any worse/better.
I also flashed the JL3 modem right up until I was using the late 70's nightly's. I had no problems. I also flashed the KC1 modem and found it to be good as well.
Hello everyone! I am brand new to the world of custom roms. Please laugh, but be helpful!
I am an AT&T customer, I received my Vibrant on Friday and have been learning plenty thanks to this site since then. I still have a lot to learn though, and if anyone could answer a few questions I would be very grateful.
I installed my first custom rom today. Bionix 1.3.1. So far it's great. It doesn't have all the Tmo bloatware that came on the stock eclair. I installed this rom because everyone said the GPS was great, it is very stable, good performance and good battery life.
So far, I have not been able to get the GPS working. Is this because I have an ATT Sim in the Vibrant? I am a total noob with this stuff, please don't laugh! I am not sure if the satellites are branded to certain companies or what (fill me in!). I have read that there are apps you can download that can help your GPS, but I am wary until I figure out if the Vibrant is incompatible with ATT satellites.
Can someone please explain in laymens terms what a Kernel is? Bionix came with Voodoo installed. To my understanding, Voodoo helps with audio and video display. But when I try to open the Voodoo app, it says that it is incompatible with my Kernel. How do I get a kernel that will work well with Bionix? (Again, sorry for the noobtalk.)
I'm sure I will have more questions in the coming weeks. Thanks in advance to being such a helpful community (you guys really are from what I have seen here!)
Anyone have some advice
I'd be happy to assist you. All you need to do on your phone is do some GPS fixes. I forgot which ones got my GPS working for my phone but Bionix GPS did not work out of the box. I remember I had to either download a GPSfix or do this
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/07/samsung-vibrant-suffering-gps-issues-quick-fix-available/
I remember the GPS was working great on the Bionix until I switched to different ROMs. You can load any ROM you want but be cautious of what you want out of your phone. Something that looks really nice and productive may give you horrible battery life and GPS.
That's a pretty old article. My phone was made in June 2011. Bionix is supposed to having a working GPS outright. Are you sure this isn't the case?
I remember using it and it worked. But I forgot what I did to the GPS because it was so long ago since I've used Bionix. You can look around for GPS fixes.
Hmm ok. Any advice as far as the Kernel/Voodoo is concerned?
Bali, Bullet, and Overstock are good for battery life and smoothness.
People say Bali is the best but I find that my phone overheats a lot and at times becomes unresponsive. Again, each vibrant is different in how it handles kernels. You have to try some of these yourself to see which one is best for your vibrant.
Has anyone been able to get GPS to work using a Vibrant on ATT's network?

I have a Vibrant on AT&T and other than the GPS sucking I can use it. Any way try this code.
*#*#3214789650#*#*
I tried that and it worked. Will test and get back
How do you find out what modem you are using? I can find the Kernel in About phone but the modem is not there.

Happy to help
I don't know about Bionix, I'm using Project V, Bali 1.8.8 kernel, KB5 modem with no issues.
I decided to try Bali 1.8.8 Kernel with KB5 modem.
I am trying to flash these using Odin. I think the KB5 goes in the Phone slot, and Bali goes in the PDA slot? When I click PDA and try to select the Bali ZIP it doesn't show up, it looks like the only file extensions available are .tar .md5 and .smd
What is a .pit, why do I need it? Where can I find one?
I'm trying to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7152078&postcount=2 but I'm not having much success.
I like to use the thanks button
Managed to flash them using SGS flasher. Still not sure what some of this stuff means. It's fun toying though
In the future, just use Clockworks in ROM Manager to flash your kernels. I find it easier to just install from zip (zip name of your kernel). You will still have the same ROM just a different kernel.
That's exactly what I ended up doing. Battery life is terrible. But I guess I should expect it.
I have a question about voodoo. From their site it says you can get a better image, (less blue screen, not as sharp of a resolution so no halo around text, etc). Do I need to use a specific kernel for this? I thought it was an app but couldnt find it in the app store.
i was wondering what everybody was running? Im still on evil fascinate, ed04 (which sucks), with a standard volt kernel running overclocked at 1.24 or it gets all glitchy and force closes. Im wondering what rom, kernel, radio combo works the best these days. Ive been reading all sorts of stuff and am just not oo sure what to go with. I use my phone alot for web surfing, a few games, music, etc. I also wondered if my aftermarket extended battery will work. any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the devs that make this possibel cause without them this phone really sucks ass.
I have been searching for a great daily and after trying the cm7.1 Rom I thought it was great, the only deal breaker for me was the sound issues with speakerphone. So i tried powerwashed and think is great, very stable and reliable.
Hope that helps, try it see what you think.

honestly im not sure how you could consider the speakerphone echo a deal breaker on cm7.1... thats a very minimal issue at best imo, but to each is own. I do agree pwbg is a great rom aswell.
After constantly bouncing around ROMs, this is honestly the best setup I have had thus far: PWGB ROM with the Adrenaline Shot, fixpermissions.zip, EC09 radio, and the GeeWiz 2.1 kernel (very basic kernel, flashed to remove hotspot monitoring). I have tried the custom kernels but they remove a lot of stability for me. Also check out the sweet honeycomb theme for it!
do i just odin the eho9 radio? i have ed04 and i have trouble with having 3g or any signal for that matter. would eh09 be better? will it work with cm7, miui, or powerwsahed?
Yes Odin the ec09 modem...much better than ed04 IMO. Getting 1.3mb down on speakeasy.
I'm still running EC01, even with PWGB. Never had a data/call problem, ever.
I use my speakerphone a lot, so for me it is a deal breaker, it's a great Rom nonetheless
For powerwashed i restored back to original since i had to use the pit file to repatriation, think is great so far.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
And here is why you have to try all the roms yourself. i was on powerwashed GB rom and i hated it. Very glitchy and the touchscreen would freeze. Tried everything to try and cure it, adrenaline shot, turning off the 100mhz setting. To make matters worse something in that rom borked my connection to a PC, I couldnt get it to recognize my phone. I tried for 3 days finally got a connection and i dumped that pile. CM7.1 and been pretty good so far tho all roms have glitches you just have to try out what works best for you.
BTW best data connection I ever got was on the EB01 radio, I was getting 1.5 meg down. EC09 was horrible I got around 200k down. I'm on ED05 now will see how it does.
Im set up on powerwashed now and my screen freezes and im constantly takeing screenshots. I think im gonna give espresso a try. Thanks to everyone whos giveing their two cents on this. Greatly appreciated but I guess its trial and error. I do like to see everbodys feedback tho.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Well what I have seen here lately is that their are multiple ways to root. But on top of that all the roms have different glitches. So I'm still stuck with debating and fixing my phone constantly. I'm running an old miui and can't really see a way to try the new 1.10.14.

once the glitch kernel implements Jt's GPS fix, cm7.1 and glitch will be the best and fastest! It's the most overclock and also You can under-volt more than another kernel.

Glitch already is imo... I just use gps booster from market until the fix is implemented. Getting the same gps results as jt's kernal this way.
