I've read that using the eb01 kernel and DL09 radio can improve battery life in SC 2.8. Truth?
myth..
however i wouldnt try any other radio with eb01
Give it a shot. Easy enough to do the switch and you can always go back. The presenter of that configuration is a trustworthy source here on the forums.

dunno about battery life yet .. going to wipe bstats in a few . i can say that it improved my data connection tremendously .
Actually, it's highly probable. Especially if you use gps. It's a commonly known fact DL09 had the best gps lock of any other. Dunno about data connection speeds...
being a noob, I don't want to mess up how my phone is working right now. I used adrynalyne method to flash my phone back after 2.7, to stock. Flashed new CWM, flashed 2.6 then 2.8 voodoo, used eb01 kernal, and enabled lagfix. I also have EB01 midnight/steel blue theme rocking. I would like to get back to dl09, becuase of the GPS performance. Do I need to do anything special before I do that, or just find and flash it via CWM. Voodoo is the part that makes me hesitant, and that fact that I use my phone as my modem, so I mess it up, I can't access this forum to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Chopper posted a .tar. I'm on voodoo too , just flash via Odin in the PDA section.

As stated above by lucas.scott use odin to flash the tar file using the pda option. And below are links to both so you can undo it if you should feel the need.
EB01 modem
DL09 modem
Credit to danknub (from irc) for the links and hosting.
good day.
do I have to worry about voodoo? Or is that just the kernal that i worry about? sorry for the noob question.

Not at all. Flashing a modem tar with odin includes no voodoo worries.
good day.

Thanks for the quick reply, trying now!
How is it working out for you guys? I am tempted to try it, but would like to know if you see any differences. Thanks!
Dl09 is better for gps in my case

Haven't seen any difference in battery life . But GPS went from taking 15 minutes to sync on eb01 , to about 2 seconds . So that's well worth it in my book .

Update to sc 2.9.1and you won't have anymore gps issues. I lock almost immediatly.
Any improvement in reception, battery life, data tranmission (i.e. reliability and speed)?
I tested it for a few hours, and noticed that my MMS died. I could not receive MMS messages, it would stick on downloading. Of course after that, I went right back to EB01 modem.
Hmmm I haven't had any mms problems. In fact , I was experiencing data drops on eb01 . Dl09 cured that for me . Crazy how different phones are reacting so differently .

Honestly though, I should test again. The MMS in question were from my girlfriend who is on T-Mobile, and I have often experienced bull**** from her MMS with T-Mobile. So that may be it, I might test further because most people say DL09 is sweet.
Tell me about it dude , my girl is on at&t and about 60% of our texts never reach each other . Switching her to vzw this month.

I'm having some text message issues lately. I've tried different ROMS, Radios after full wipes and it seems that some of my text never get received from some of my contacts. I also noticed that rarely I won't receive text from people sometimes also. Any help would be appreciated
That's a bit vague. What radios and roms have you tried.

I had a similar issue when I went to SuperClean 2.9, which requires the DL09 modem. Once I flashed the DL09 modem all my problems went away.
Which modem/radio are you using?

I've tried all DarkREVENGE releases, all SC releases, stock 2.2 ROM's and Radios. I'm starting to feel that it's a hardware issue.
I was just wondering, can I use the ec01 radio on superclean 2.92. I want better gps reception.

Yes you can. I flashed EC01 radio and ROM, tried it for 2 days, but was having terrible battery drain. I have now switched to SC 2.9.2 but kept the EC01 radio, and my phone has never been better, especially the GPS.
Is there an ED01 radio? It looks like ppl are saying that EC01 and ED01 are the same, but I haven't seen an actual ED01 radio to ODIN flash anywhere. Anyone know the story? And where I would get ED01 radio? I'm rooted, not stock Touchwiz-based rom and don't want to mess with official update if I can avoid it. I'm also not entitled and demanding someone do this if it requires doing. If it's important and hasn't happened yet, I'm sure it will. Anyways, thanks in advance.
As of now there is no ED01radio. However there should be one soon.

There should be one soon? There wasn't a radio leak, so there isn't a way to get one unless there ends up being a leak. It's my understanding there currently is no way to pull just the radio file, and that is why using the "phone" option in Odin was irreversible until DJ05 came about.
can anyone help? My phone won't connect reliably to wifi networks. It detects them cycles that it is connecting, obtaining IP address then disconnects and keeps repeating this cycle. These are networks I have connected to before. I am on stock, debloated, deodexed, EBO1.
thanks,
I had the same problem on EB01, hasn't happened since updating to ED01.
+1 on not having this since my latest radio update.
It used to do it pretty regularly, and a reboot with WiFi on tended to correct the issue for a while. Perhaps that will help you too?
I've flashed roms like nobody's business. Never did just a radio. Is there a way to update just the radio?
