hi guys,
is there a tweek on how to increase wifi signal strength for vibrant roms?
i notice that miui v4 has a strong wifi signal strength compare to other roms like ICS zenwich and CM10 port.
i plan to flash the final build of ICS zenwich but Im gonna miss the strong wifi signal of miui v4.
Devil ICS kernel will give you a stronger WiFi option

As the post above me mentions, if you flash the devil kernel and the devil config app, there is an option to increase the strength of the wifi.
You may also derive some benefit from editing your build prop. You can find some build prop tweaks in this post:

Hey guys I have my x10 and I want to increase my wifi speed. Can anyone offer any suggestions

You can improve the signal strength of the wifi router by using a parabolic antenna. Simple design google it and happy surfing....
I mean is there a line I can use in the build prop. On wolfbreaks Rom the speeds are unreal. Yet on the stock its so slow

The real wifi speed is more related to baseband, what may be your issue is something related to software processing that is too slow, as far as i know there is not much of a difference regarding wifi signal strength or anything that would affect wifi directly, the only changes are in system response and processing.
wnated to know if gb is better than ics am on ics have some problems my reception drops alot and 3g internet takes forever to load

I don't think it's related to ICS. Many people here think ICS is laggy, but I haven't noticed that. Connection problems are probably just because of signal strength in your area.

wierd because my motorola atrix has top connection even my 3g is fast on it
ics has its own benefits and gb has its own..eg: in gb the fw can be made really light..but thats not possible in ics s most app are not bloat and need to stay...so gb has less ram consumption...ics has more features in stock like walkman(only on sony phones) or swipe to remove..etc...really depends on what type of user you are
I am using ICS for quite some time and I have to say it's pretty good. I never felt that I wanted to go back to GB. Firstly I upgraded to .45 and the improvement was big (only downside was the autofocus bug) but when I upgraded to .50, everything went smooth. I am satified enough and I don't have any drops in signal and 3g is fast. Also check whether you're connected to 2G or 3G when checking the signal. I sometimes find out that if I have low signal is because there is no good 3G coverage in the area, then I select 2G and I have full signal.

Sorry if this is already posted! Is there any radio (firmware) lists anywhere? I can't seem to find any on the forum. Also which is best for the dinc 4g lte?
Also which kernel runs best with kitkat? I have loaded Smasherx rom and everything works without any quirks. The only thing I have noticed is a weak signal compared to my Viper rom I came from.
Thanks for all responses!!
I'm not sure about updating the radio firmware but the signal difference is just how Sense ROMs and CM displays the signal not the actual signal strength. If you display the numeric signal strength should match.

Doing a speed test is always slower with the cm11. I have checked it many times. Dunno why!
In certain locations, my home being one I find all the custom ROMs signal bar go empty even though it has signal.
My questions are why does MIUI do a better job of keeping the signal displayed and do a better job of intelligently switching between 4g and 3g depending on strength compared to custom ROMs?
I understand not everyone can test this.
I observed this also but both Custom ROM and MIUI has both bad receptions for me, orange bar in battery settings, but the exception is Lineage 14.1 by minzi, my signal with that ROM is good.

I did observe in testing that N was managing it better, Darn why can't they fix those pesky flashlight bugs and camera, pity MM code can't be reused for N for these bugs.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for them to fix flashlight and camera and I'll immediately switch to N. Bad reception is killing my battery. I got stable reception on N
EDIT: Using CM13, I chose the LTE (Recommended) option instead of 2G, somehow I'm getting better reception than selecting 2G. Bug maybe.
My house is in a place where LTE is low. With MIUI it manages switching between 4g and 3g better than say Lineage OS where i have an empty 4g bar.
Certain custom ROMS like Bliss manage it much like MIUI in this weak LTE location.
My question is what is different about how Lineage etc handle this network switch and what is difference between it and Bliss?
Is it a graphical thing or network thing?

Can you use 4g on LOS even with 0 bars? How about on Bliss(Basically any CAF based roms)?
If no or yes on both then it's a graphical thing.
I'm actually getting better 2g signal(only signal I can get inside my room) on CAF based ROMs. At 1st I thought it was just a graphical thing as I can't call(immediately loss signal when I try) but I can receive a call whereas in LOS(0 signal), I can't.

Yes, CAF based ROMs will give you better and more stable signal. Try Bliss or Citrus
