I have recently put on jt1134's Vanilla Gingerbread (which is great btw) and am wanting to do one mod. So I come to you very smart folks for help.
Is there a way yet to change the signal bars to read in Dbm? I like Dbm much more and am very familiar with it as it is part of my job. So any direction at all would be awesome. Thank you.
ya........
Any ideas out there.
Anyone know of a way yet?
Theirs a setting in cyanogenmod build 112 or CM builds from makelegs that allow setting dbm status signal bars from settings.

ok so my question is which modem is the best OVERALL for my vibrant?? I'm not looking for anything in particular, just to have a the best connection and the most battery life without sacrificing one for the other. Haha sooo pls reply and thank you!
It all depends on your area for me in south florida KA7 seems to work the best
use one thats MEANT for CM7, those are usually the best because they have included things like
voodoo sound, LED notifications etc.
Battery will of course will be affected, but not by much, nothing noticeable.
hey rider, you do know that he's asking for a modem and not a kernel right?

I feel that this link should be included in the opening post for the CM7 Q&A and CM7 in the Development section. Mostly because i noticed that CM7 comes with KA7 instead of the latest KB5, and we all know KB5 is Awesome. And that I trying to find a modem for CM7.
Yes, I read the thread about how pissed you get when you read "which rom is best" from an idiot newbie like me. I'm not asking which is best. That's too general.
I want the aosp rom with good working 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wifi and GAPPS. I want dependable sms/mms, able to answer and hang up from phone calls, battery life better than stock. I don't care about netflix.
I would like vzw/vvm to work but not a dealbreaker.
We can narrow down the choices to mini bamf, cm7, or the latest liquid aosp rom if you like.
Which one just works?
I've been using Th3ory for the longest. Try dhacker's version 2.8
Should be everything you're looking for.

I have heard that OMFGB is a great one, I talked to the developer more than a few times about it even tho I don't use it. He has a long track record making the same Rom and porting it to different devices.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I'd really like to hear from folks who have been using an aosp Rom long enough to know its flaws. Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. Neither of those roms had occurred to me. Now I have 5 to pick from!
Signature says it all...
My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0
Either OMFGB or SHIFTAO5P will be your best bets! I use SHIFT, and have been for quite a while, only flashing to others just to see if they can beat it!
Anybody try the new build 16 cm7? I'm curious if the blietooth static problem is gone?
Does verizon vvm work on any aosp rom?
Th3ory is rock solid, the other one I would recommend is below

CM7 is awesome on the Tbolt. Well -as awesome as this awful phone can get.
#1 bug - location problem. It is easily fixed but the fix is not baked in bc it involves "borrowing" the HTC location.apk from the 2.11.605.3 leak/pulled ota.

How about your bluetooth audio quality? I am accustomed to Bluetooth connection in car for hours every day and I need to hear and be heard clearly.
Does vzw vvm work?

bluetooth audio sounds perfect to me.
no vzw vvm; no aosp rom has it. it's only possible on sense roms.

I'm pretty sure that only fixes.network location not gps location.
A lot of posters wrote about static in bluetooth or not able to bluetooth connect to car. No vzw vvm. No nfl mobile. I don't know what else.

1. No that is not all you do. Sorry. Let me find the link for the detailed set of instructions. And this is for location - not navigation.
Fix network location on CM7
2. I have never had problems with actual GPS - if you do have GPS problems - you know - navigation - the solution is to get a solid lock on GPS from your Sense rom before you flash CM7. If you have already flashed CM7 -create a nandroid backup. Flash back to Sense. Get a GPS lock. Restore nandroid. ? Profit.
Anyone know if xfinity app and hbo go app work in this rom?

Have you tried the fix?
Use Rom Manager *The latest version of my suggestion is only accessible this way*
Look at "Unofficial CyanogenMod 7 Builds" by ProTekk in the Download ROM section.
Grab the latest version (Build 20 as of OCT28) and enjoy. This rom works great for me with Tiamat's latest kernel and the 0906w_ radios. You will need to perform the location fix each time you flash an update but the rom is smooth and gives you all the CM7 perks and extras

Thats a matter of opinion, I say the one that comes with 10.6, I think its the OC/UV by Nelson, that or Eugenes off the Passion Thread. I think more prefer Eugene.
Updating the kernel
I just bought my first android phone so I'm a newb (I've jailbroken several iphones though)
I'm on ICS Passion 10.6 and my phone says kernel 3.0.8_ICS_Passion-Vibrant-g0143457-dirty
I'm planning on updating to ICS Passion 11. Do I have to do anything special besides flash the v11 rom to update the kernel?
Many things don't work well on my phone and I'm hoping it's fault of the kernel/rom. Right now there's no menu at the top with signal level/battery life/time. Incoming calls/texts do not pop up any screen but I can hear a ring. GPS doesn't work most of the time, etc.

You mean you dont have a notification bar? If so, just reflash the ROM and everything will work. Don't add any mods from theexel btw, I tried to in v10.5+ and it broke the notification bar for me.
Sent through the XDA App on my Samsung Vibrant running ICS Passion v10.6
First wipe user data factory rest , cache partion and delvik cache,, and then flash v11,, I think eugene strimeline is good for passion rom. fps cap is expanded to 65, and very responsive.

Hi all,
I'm getting very low signal in my phone, only one or two bars with passion v13 and now with ICS euphoria even when being next to the window.
I get excellent signal in a HTC G2.
Does anyone have a similar problem?

Flash a new modem. Scrizz has a bunch especially for ICS.
I forgot to mention that I have already tried several modems: ka7, ka6, jksomething, but nothing changes.
Try a different city or a different phone... or a different cell company

I'm right around Chicago it is an ICS issue. My gf has miui and kb5 with 3 bars of H. I have currently 1 bar 3g same setup on euphoria.

You could always try the CM9 alpha or icssgs, see if there is any difference
If changing modems makes no difference, then it must be the rom.

Unfortunately its all of them. The only fix I have found is getting off ICS. Once the newest glitch kernel is back ported for cm7/miui.us I won't be able to careless lol.
P.S. this reply would not be possible on ICS, I am at work right now.

Interesting. I should have mentioned kernels (many to choose from), but it sounds like you might have tried a few of them also. Good luck.
You might want to discuss it in one of the ICS rom threads, or the modem thread:

Every ICS I experience this on until Docs V5. My phone is useable at work again on ICS. It's worth a shot if low signal is what is holding you back from 4.0.

I am also in Chicago running Euphoria no issues with signal strength. I also work for T-Mobile and can tell you a bad SIM card is the most common reason for signal issues ;-)

If someone requests a new SIM card from T-Mobile, do they get to keep the same phone number? Also, I've had my Samsung Vibrant's battery since around Oct 2010. How much longer would you think this battery will be good 'til?
instead of creating a new thread, I'd edit my old one and ask this question.
I was just curious what the big differences are really. Thanks and sorry for all the idiotic questions.

Remember, after flashing modems. Dial *22891 and let it update your roaming. Then reboot.

Glitched aokp. Has the newest things. The glitch kernel it comes with is actually newer than the one you can download separately. And also has improvements that cant easily be done without building the 2 around eachother. From what i gather, when the devs started glitched aokp and the bigmem ram mod they made a considerable device fork from other aosp Roms on our phone. Making some of the included stuff incompatible with other roms, like ths.
Just think of glitched aokp as the bleeding edge for this phone.

Some specifics
Bigmem
Jpeg turbo
Call volume script
Hybrid ui (being worked out)

For starters.
