Hi all,
just wondering if there is any modem clean up script like kernel one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13224453&postcount=7317)
You'd like to clean your modem with a script?
What?

Hi guys!
I am currently running my Samsung Vibrant with the latest Bionix-v ROM. I was looking at the Modems that were listed in the referenced and I was wondering which one I should use for the ROM I have? In other words, which one should I use? I am currently with Mobilicity (Canadian Carrier).
Vibrants seem to be very choosy when it comes to modems. Different people will get different results from different modems. This is why in modem threads you'll see some people report increased speed/reception/battery and others will report decreases. The best way to choose one is to try them out first hand. I personally like KA6 and KB1, but the hybrid KA5 from bionix v seems pretty decent too.

Thanks for the reply. How would I install a specific modem on my custom ROM? Also, do I need to prepare my phone beforehand for installing a specific modem?
EDIT: Oh and how do I know which I currently have on? Like whereabouts in options would I find it at?
a few questions there. lets see if i can help a lil
1. install it just like installing a new rom. boot into recovery and flash the modem.zip file. once flashed. reboot. DONT FORGET TO BACKUP
2.other than backing up on prep work necessary.
3.home-menu-settings-about phone should say which modem you currently are on.
4. try out all the 2.2 modems. For me, I'm all about which modem gets me the best gps results. locks/accuracy, etc. KB1 is my baby. But all depends if you want gps, data speed, connection, voice or battery life.

Sounds good. I'm going to try out KB1 now and see if there is any improvement on reception/gps.
Also, I touched on this in another thread. Different people have different uses for their modems. Ie; I personally am willing to sacrifice some battery for top notch connectivity and gps so the recent kb1 is working out fantastic right now.

Under baseband btw
obtaining modem zip files
First time poster and obvious noob, but I hope it's ok to post a follow up here.
I want to try the KB1 modem and found a link (multiupload.com) to it in the "Vibrant Modems" thread in the dev forum.
I went ahead and registered on multiupload.com, but I can't seem to locate the actual zip file. Every download link I click just torments me with adverts. Is there another place where I can find this file?
Thanks
Steve

Hello,
I have a SGS2 running CheckROM 3.1.1 (http://checkrom.com/threads/checkrom-revolutionhd-v3-1-1-xwkj3-rock-stable.208/) and trying the SiyahKernel 2.2p (http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2011/11/29/siyahkernel-v2-2p/).
Since a few days... I think it started when I've installed the SiyahKernel from 2.1.1 to 2.2i and then 2.2p... I notice the modem (the Internet connection via my Carrier) goes slower or drops more often.
Also, sometimes, when I reboot the phone, I don't get Internet service or I get service for a few minutes and then drops.
I attach a screencapture of what I have when the connection drops.
So my question is: Could the Kernel affect the MODEM?
Strange? Help?
Not really unless there is something wrong with the kernel .
jje
Considering that SiyahKernel is one of the most popular Kernel...
There is not something wrong in the Kernel.
The problem is my Carrier.

Generally, the kernel has more interaction and direct effect on WiFi than it does the radio.

So... You are saying that could be a relationship? Small, but something?
It's more than likely the kernel. The modem type you use has a negligible effect on battery life.

Just as JJ mentioned above, not unless there's something wrong with the kernel. The thing to remember when flashing a new kernel is to clear out all the old junk from the previous kernel first.
There's script here to do it, which is a good idea to flash via cwm recovery first.
At the very least, you should manually clear cache and Dalvik.
Is this the mentioned script?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13224453

Do you mean modem? if so, check Simba's posting on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361393&page=15
Thanks for that.
I see the download, but I was wondering if the UCLC2 modem will break things on UnNamed since it is based UCKK6.
I'm just not sure how ROMs, kernels, and modems interact and I don't want one to confuse the others. For instance, I have PDroid patched into my ROM - don't wan't to break that, or anything else for that matter.
The modem will work fine on your phone. Whether it will give you better results is another matter. Have to try it to find out. No worries, won't do any harm to try it, and then flash the UCKK6 baseband back if it isn't better.
Hello
I've come to that point, where I want to save some fuel on my phone. So I thought of flashing a kernel. But I searched on google, with no result.
I am trying to flash a kernel, that is more powerful and more battery saver, than the stock kernel. I planning to flash through odin. I am currently only rooted, with stock recovery and rom.
I would appreciate if anybody could lead me, or link me to a thread that would solve my "problem"
Thanks
There is no such thing as a kernel that's "more powerful and more battery saver". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A kernel that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different kernels. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each kernel, and also see other users' experiences with that kernel.
Then you can test different kernels for yourself to find one that works best for you.
Given how simple it is to flash a kernel/try one out & how simple it is to restore a backup & go back to your previous setup if you don't like the kernel you try (or simply flash your old kernel), there's no excuse for you not to try a bunch of kernels yourself.
i start to belive every kernal has an advantge but the stock kernal have all the average requirment ....so stuck with it

You are right, but I have no idea on how to flash an kernel on odin.
EDIT(not really): Aha! I need to flash the TAR file.. If I am right. Also Is there a way to still keep the stock recovery ?

hello fellow xdas
while back i had gotten my hands dirty with the CM10 project as i just couldn't wait for the official update! i learned quickly that i had serious problems with antenna/reception. i tried carious base bands (as recommended on forums) using GetRil/flash.Odin. this didnt seem to help, even though i would get better reception, my signal was unstable. In the process i tried other roms like JellyBam and had the same issue.
As this is my main phone and i do actually need to call with it, i went back to the stock rom i downloaded. but surprisingly i still have the same issue! GetRil also shows that i have incompatible RIL/baseband. this is what it shows:
RIL: I9100NELP2; I9100XXKI4
Baseband: I9100XXLPQ
FYI: i am located in the Netherlands and use T-mobile network.
so have i installed the wrong ROM or done something wrong in the process... ? does anyone have any experience with this? i much rather have CM10 but only if i can get to call normally once again?
thanks

Use either of the 2 links below to download either the NELP2 modem of the XXKI4 modem, and them flash them onto your phone via Recovery Mode. That should resolved your incompatible RIL issue.

OR .... use the link below to find and reflash the entire correct firmware for your region, which should flash the correct modem and RIL along with it.

thanks a lot zee54,
can i just go back to my CM10 or JellyBam, install the above mentioned radios and get everything working? or does it depend on the RIL which that ROM is running! I have tried a number of modems when i had CM10, but dont know if i tried those... i did try BVLP7 for sure
Based on this forum right here i need to have the I9100BOLPD ROM as stock for Netherlands T Mobile!

The modem is independent of the ROM, mate. So it wont make much of a difference whether you install the radio on stock firmware or on CM10. You could try using the modems mentioned by zee54 with CM10 and seeing if it helps. Also, give it about a day or so..since the phone tends to take a while to get 'used' to a new modem.

The unstable signal or "RIL Crash" as it it called isn't actually caused by having an incompatible RIL and Baseband (modem). It is a more complicated issue which I don't fully understand myself. But what I do know is that it currently affects all customs roms that are based on CM10 and use the CM Kernel. So switching modems might help recude the frequency of the problem but probably won't irradicate it completely.
You should not experiencing this problem if you go back to stock samsung firmware. If you experience problems you might want to do a full wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvic-cache) before reflashing and fix permissions afterwards.
On a more positive note, I have found that using the Siyah Kernel with your custom rom does seem to eliminate this problem, or at least reduce it occurance to such that I have not noticed it happening.
So personally i would suggest that if you wish to go back to CM10 or JellyBam ROMs, then do so but also install the latest Siyah Kernel for the S2 from here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
(Here's the XDA Thread for the Siyah Kernel - [KERNEL] SiyahKernel v4.1.5 (v5.0a2))
I am currently running CM10 with the Siyah Kernel v5.0b2 and it is working very nicely
great stuff guys... 2x thanks for both of you!
Zeey54, i just had Siyah v5 Kernal installed, installing the latest JellyBam right now! so lets see what happens. i was suspecting that beside the RIL/baseband there were other factors as i did not see any significant difference between them. but then again i dont trust my judgement on such issues as my knowledge is quite limited.
will send an update with the result after installation in a few min.

installed the BOLP7 modem, overall reception is much better! data connectivity is also better and faster. but i still have some periods which my receptions drops and goes back up, seems like radio/modem crash (if im right). dont know if that is due to the kernel or modem or ...?
the reason i went for BOLP7 modem was because the latest official stock rom from t-mobile Netherlands was I9100BOLPM_I9100TNLLP8_I9100BOLP7, so i thought that would be the best one to try!
will wait a little more to see if this improves as the modem settles.
4th official ROM too much coverage you please make a review ?
need modem
First of all, thank you mate for your hardwork and awesome utility.
I have a Samsung galaxy S2 I9100G , recently flashed jelly bam custom rom. I am based in Saudi Arabia, the reception is not clear and people complain that it is switched off or out of network. I tried calling with another mobile and i got a response that my mobile is switched off, at the same time i checked my S2 mobile , it shows the full signal of the network in status bar.
what should i do? Which modem should i flash. the getRIL shows RIL/baseband is matching (I9100GDDLP5).
cheers
