Easier connection to local networks instead of manual APN entries .
Makes more sense to ask in the roms thread .

Ja
Du kan bruke den helt fint selv om den ikke er basert på nordiske stock rom versjonen (KE2 tror jeg?)

Hi all,
I just updated to Villain Rom 3.0 and would like to install the best modem in terms of strong signal (Wi-Fi and GSM in particular) and battery performance but I can't figure out which one to use. I can see a full list here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17967764&postcount=5 but have no idea what the differences are between each modem and whether or not they are correct for my location etc.
I'm on Villain Rom 3.0 (2.3.5), Vodafone Ireland.
Appreciate someone helping me to decipher/understand the various options.
Cheers,
Ben
No change logs no specifics for modems .
KH3 and KI range reputed to be the best .
I would try KH3 .

Does the modem also include the wifi signal ? I read somewhere it's rom related.

Thanks JJ, I'll give KI3 a few days and then switch. If only to a) write up my thoughts on KI3 and b) have a base on which to compare it to KH3

Hi
I read some posts here but I am still lost. I came from Sony Ericson Experia x10 mini, so I am not a total newbi, or so I thought.
Info after *#1234#
PDA: I9100XXLPQ
PHONE: I9100XXLPQ
CSC: I9100XXLPQ
The phone is rooted with CWM and with ICS 4.0.3 installed
OK my question: I want to install a new rom from here but now I don’t understand with the MINI if your baseband is correct you can install any kernel and rom you like
But now I hear talk about modems and all kinda things .. please help me get from stock ICS to a custom rom
Modems are for the functions of your GSM/Data services of the Phone, generaly it is not so important to have a perticular modem but recommended to use what is relesed for your region,
this can be flashed seperetely at any time from your CWM, until you find a best...
Most of the custom roms Devs pick the best modem for their roms which is universaly working, you dont wat to change it. and some custom roms dont have Modem, your existing modem will remain when you flash such roms...
Modem and Baseband are samething...

I'm a Malaysian , currently using SG2.
Just wondering what if I flash Europe stock rom?
No problem provided you flash ROM for you're phone model.
That is i9100 to i9100 ROM
Modem might mot be the most suitable for your network and wrong CSC may require manual network settings . Language may not be suitable .

Csc doesn't has apn.... That's a wrong thought

You can flash EU roms, no problem, but using EU modems for Asia, I wouldn't recommend.
Try DXLP9, it's from Singapore and works great with EU and Asia. Fastest stock ICS rom and modem.

CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
A CSC includes network settings if you actually open it .
Country>UK</Country> <SalesCode>O2U</SalesCode> <NbNetworkInfo>2</NbNetworkInfo> -<NetworkInfo> <MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC> <NetworkName>O2 UK Pay Monthly</NetworkName> </NetworkInfo> -<NetworkInfo> <MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC> <NetworkName>O2 UK Pay&Go</NetworkName> </NetworkInfo>
etc etc etc .

Strange, I never had to manually enter apn and I have flashed roms from around the globe.
Not only that, right now I'm runing with csc unknown with out issues.
Also tried few aosp roms, never had to enter apn for my country.
specifically flashed other region csc to get rid of the crap installed by the csc of the ROM.

I've never have any problem with apn or sms, mms setting when flashing another region rom..i'll automatically set when i've done flashing and can use 3g or mms right away..ever since i've got my s2, i never have to input the setting manually..currently i'm on f1 galaxynexus rom and i've tried a lot of rom, aosp, aokp, sammy rom...never had to worry about csc..

I nvr had apn problem using custom rom from whatever country..so i guess as long as its a stock rom for regular(not at&t) it should be fine..

Anybody here using the Orange Romania carrier (or any other network) have some experience with Galaxy S2 modems? Which one is a good fit in terms of both battery and signal strength?
Folosesc LPG pe cosmote si sunt foarte multumit de el.
XXLQ5 many of my friends in different parts in this world and they flagged that its the best after XXKI4 an i use it for about 5 days since it was released and its very good in different areas .. just give it a try.

Yea, but LQ5 could also brick your phone, since it's not an official release and only a leaked version, I would advise vladbaca to stay away from it and try LPG, which is very stable, the WiFi bug is fixed and it has a good battery life.

So, which one do you use after all? I am using the BVLPB one from stock, but signal is not as awesome as it should be
BVLP7 is the best modem in my opinion. It's a UK modem but lot's of Europeans use it and I also use it here in NZ

I have RR 4.07 (Android 4.2.2 ) and having some problems .... before that i had stock Orange RO with 4.1.2 . My question is , if i flash this onto my SGS2 , could this cause problems ?
Yes. Never flash a modem +ril combo onto a non Sammy based rom. You could get signal dropouts or lost imei. Only flash modem, no ril. Search for hawkerpaul's modem thread, you should be able to find the same modem but without the ril. Failing that then find another modem thread and search for the same file without ril.

GT-I9300 Galaxy S III
PDA: I9300XXEMG5
CSC: I9300ODDEMG1
MODEM: I9300DDEMG2
after flashing a few roms and loosing my IMEI in the process and then with a lot of help from rootSU i was able to get my phone working again,although i have come to an uderstanding that i've to keep my baseband to MG2 only but my problem is how to check the baseband in any of the roms with so many roms available for flashing(i've been told to look into the thread but in some cases i couldn't find the baseband)
is there a system of naming the roms which i obviously don't know which gives an indication of the baseband and how does one comes to know whether a roms has baseband or not
help
thanks in advance....

the question should be phrased as "how will i know which rom has a modem also flashed along with it."
DDEMG2 modem flashable zip
flash any rom (firmware version above MG2) if your baseband changes flash the above modem. baseband will return to ddemg2.
If its a stock rom modem is named .
If its a custom rom it may not have a modem .
You would be far better off not flashing any rom if your phone is now working .

I've understood a lot with your help and now only tell me this firmware version above mg2 you are referring to is for PDA,CSC OR MODEM and this is flashable via odin or cwm.?.One more thing i read about coding of samsung and according to that my country code is DD so what does XX signifies in my PDA???.I know it's irritating but a little help from you will go a long way in making me understand......

When i say mg2 i am referring to pda
XX=Country code (for indian firmware pda will have DD .. but you can use any firmware version.. country specific firmwares help in region specific updates from samsung)
M=year (A=2001 B=2002 and so on.. so M= 2013)
G=month (A=jan B=feb c=mar and so on.. so G=July)
2=revision number
All this have been answered 100s of time.. if u had read sticky threads in general section you would have seen them..
since i had free time i replied others would have just ignored you !

that's what it is everybody thinks one doesn't read,had i not read i would not have been able to restore my efs and not known about country code...only thing is the more one reads the more one discovers his ignorance ........
but anyways so by your explanation my pda should have been DDEMG5 but it's XXEMG5 at the moment and i've checked it from sammobile and xda also that XXEMG5 is the latest firmware for gti9300 in india. So what's wrong?
and i think the zip file will be used in CWM only?
