Is the cfw and modem the best for my phone? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As stated in the title, are these the best that are on offer for my phone? only problem i get atm are a few apps crash every now and then. Also I've done a nandroid backup and kept titanium backup, if there are better fw/modem updates, has the phone got to be reset to factory settings?
Thanks

also my battery life its worse than what i thought it would be using this fw, but then i watch a lot of videos on it. I've also performed battery collab a few times now, get about 9hrs life when watch good 1.5 hrs video, is this good?

you can change the modem if you want. i am currently using KL1 modem or LP1. Signal strength is great and not so bad either on the battery. everyone raves about this modem anyway. Regarding the kernel that you are using if it is giving you great battery life and stability that is great to. Now i am using siyah latest version and also the latest version of cwm manager apk which is version 3.0 and clockwordmod recovery which is 5.0.27. i think you are on 4.0 something if i am not mistaken.
what i am trying to say here as long as you are getting stability and good battery life no need to update or flash and just wait for when ICS villainrom is out. if you are a flash junkie then siyah kernel is a good start or speedmod kernel if you do not like to tweak around with voltages

What is C F W ???

thanks for the reply mate, i will have a look at updating the modem you suggested, being an Android virgin i dont like to mess around too much as i don't want to completely screw up my phone! like you said its working fine apart from the odd app crashing, might be best to just wait for villainrom ics.

[Q] Question about Liten'ning Rom

Hello everyone, I just flashed liten'ning rom 3.2, and it is truly an amazing rom.
I have a nooby question lol The rom is based on the KG2 kernel, does that mean I have to find that kernel and flash it by odin? I am still running the kernel from my old rom (the kg1)
Thanks alot!!
NO ! KG2 Kernel is in the rom you flashed.
Look in settings, phone info, scroll down und you see your baseband and kernel version, that you have installed on your phone.
regards spirotech
Thank you very much for your fast reply!
But it is not there, I couldn't take a pic for some reason by clicking power and home button but here is what it says:
Baseband Version:
I9100XXKG2
Kernel Version:
[email protected] #2
Build Number:
Liten'ning Rom V3.2 XXKG2
As the kernel says, that is a KG1 Kernel, any ideas?
Hmm,
mine says kg1 too!
I'll wait for 3.3 or whatever.
He's doing a good job!

SGS2 I9100
Lite'nin rom 3.2
Litening is amazing! However 3.2 seems off and quite buggy. I flashed back to 3.0 and 3.0 states KG2.
I would wait for a more polished 3.x version and stick to 3.0 or 2.2.
Thanks for your responses! I thought i had to manually flash the kernel haha
Updated to lite'nin rom 4

To be honest I kept having battery problems for some reasons, even though I made a clean install with wipe and all, I am trying cognition for now and it seem super awesome, I am gonna have to learn how to make rtl support for deodexed roms myself though it take awhile for ppl to post them haha
just clearing cache won't clear your battery stats.
go into CWM => advanced => Wipe battery stats ( charge your phone to full before )
normally, that should help after a few cycles (had a totally funky battery life when switched from KF3 to KG1 (when i upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4) and this has sorted the problem.)

[Q] Fascinate Stock About Phone Info

I am planning on calling Verizon to get a Droid Charge as a replacement. I have CM7 installed do not wish to do a factory restore to stock. (I need my phone to be useable till I get the Charge) Could someone with stock please give me a screen shot or list stats for the About Phone screen? It would be most helpful to my self and maybe others.
Android Version:
Baseband Version:
Kernel Version:
Build Number:
If there is any other info I would need please list.
Stock is ed04 froyo. Unless you want to get charged for the charge you need to figure out which of the various methods to use to get back stock before you sent the phone back. Hint all the info you need is stickied.
good day. using xda premium.
I have no problems going back to stock using oden. As you know the whole process will take less then 5 minuets. I just don't want to do it till I actually have the charge in hand to make the switch.
Are you saying the About Phone Info is stickied because I can't find it? I have done a Google Search and a Forum Search.

flashing ROM

hello.
i already root my phone with odin and xw kl1.now a want to install Lite'ning Rom but i cant find one with KL1 firmware base.
if i want to change default ROM i have to search a ROM based on my kernel ( in my case XW KL1 ) ?
thanks
Wrong area, your going to get flamed big time... You can flash any base, Doesnt need to be one that matches your current.. Id recommend backing your default base/ROM up tho.
you can flash any ROM it doesn't have to.match.with what your on just make sure you make a backup before flashing if you get stuck just pm me I'll be happy to help and I'm sure devs and users will help you I'm sure I got the help I needed ..try omega ROM 10.4 I think that's on wkl1 ok good luck

omega stock and blue black installed.works fine but no battery saving so far.
is there a top 10 of custom ROM regarding battery saving.i'm not interested in high quadrant score.i'm not using the phone for games.
No. There isn't a 'top 10 of custom rom regarding battery saving'.
For the simple reason that everyone uses their phone differently, everyone has their phone setup differently (apps, etc) and no two phones come out of the factory exactly the same. You won't have the same experience as me if you use the same rom/kernel as me (or anyone else).
Try a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you.

Opinions on roms

what rom do y'all think is this best? Just looking for opinions on roms, and which one is the perfect balance between performance, features and battery life
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I have to say i am loveing my cm7 rc1 iave been using it for a while now itt has great performance and awesome battery life and i am useing the faux 1.45 kernel i xan strem music off my sd card all day long and grt home and still have 70 percent battery left and thats with my everyday text and work use as well
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
I'd have to say Neutrino 2.6.
It has great batterly life and is super snappy.
It also has different kernels depending on your preference of battery, balanced, or power.
The nightly CNAs. If you dont need the camera. Once that is worked out, everybody will switch to ICS
I've had an Atrix since last October and rooted within days since I got it. I've tried Darkside (don't quite remember which version as it was months ago). then I flashed Aura 1.2.2.2, which I don't think is being further developed, but was very happy with it. Very fast and stable. Then came Neutrino around. Hats off to Notorious for his effort, the rom is superfast and absolutely rid of anything non essential. I am looking forward to see CM9 based version of this rom. since before Xmas I am on CM9 by Jokersax. As with all CM9 roms the stock camera doesn't work, but some 3rd party camera apps do, which is good enough for me. I if you do not use your camera too often try ICS.

Read this post…this is a guide for new atrix users…it has everything from rooting and unlocking version 4.5.91 to links for different roms. Highly recommended!
I like the Neutrino 2.6EE, it is very stable as it's based on the CM7 RC1. I tried CM9 roms love them but, they still have a few bugs like the video playback on some websites and I strangely experience slow web browser speeds (but the battery life was great ) will surely flash one of the cm9 roms when more "stable" versions come out.
I was a huge fan of the Neutrino ROMS but ever since going to turl's ICS, its far too nice to go back to GB. All apps are so much more pleasant to use and scrolling in ICS roms is far smoother than any GB roms, matching iphone scrolling smoothness. Everything from maps to gmail and sms is so much better not to mention the browser which is a huge improvement in terms of speed, usability and smoothness (tip enable the side swip menu options in the labs section of settings). turls latest build has camera working as well so the only thing which i find borked in my day to day use is the camcorder.
+1 what kickassy said. I was previously on Neutrino 2.6, i think it's the best of the GB roms.

Use the .37 baseband as your phone is an AT&T model and use any ROM and kernel you'd like.
Edit: I use turl's latest CM9. Exept for a few games (Temple Run and MC3) not working, it is the best ROM I have used.

This depends on the user. Everyone likes different things - you'll have to experiment for yourself... A ROM that a thousand people love, you may hate.... and vice versa... Noone can tell you what the best ROM is for you. Play around and find one you like.

Kernel Help

Hi all,
Ive got the stock version of 4.04 that came installed on my phone, I have rooted to remove all the annoying bloatware.
My current kernel is 3.015-611327-user [email protected] #1 SMP preempt from may 2012.
BaseBand Version I9300XXLEF
I was wondering what kernels are worth updating to, for better performance on the stock rom?
Reason why I want to change the kernel is because a friend just got an S3 and his phone seems a little more responsive (hes running all stock and stock kernel).
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance

What Kernel best kernel posts are banned .
Try and decide no such kernel as best for all .
Your base band is not firmware version .
jje
Oh yea...
IMM76D.I9300XXALEF (4.04)
Since asking about which kernel is best is banned..
Can I update using CWM to any kernel?

If the kernel is CWM flash able yes if not via ODIN all in Development sections .

download all the available kernels
flash each one . run it for a full day or
discharge cycle and compare it for yourself.
things to thjunk about
battery life
performance benchmarks are fun but more look at things like browsing switching apps and so on.
ui lag
remember everyone uses their phone different and want something diff
enjoy

Closed, try them for yourself, read the OP's, etc, they will have all the information you need about each kernel there.
