Hi,
I am going to buy a galaxy note today to use on Wind mobile (aws network). Are there only compatible radios to make the phone work for gingerbread and ics or are there radios that would work on jellybean roms as well? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything but I might have missed it so maybe someone can let me know.
Also I've heard the jb based roms like cm10 etc are unstable, they crash and restart and stuff. Are there fixes for these problems?
Thanks!

Cm10 reboots? = Try another ROM on for size. You know you want to.

I know how to flash the radios, I've done it for gb and ics roms for a friend. I am wondering if there are specific radios for jb roms or if you could use the same ones.
Also about the roms - I flashed liquid smooth for my brother on his note and it crashed and rebooted a LOT, and he didn't want to try any more roms because of the bad experience he had. Is this the problem with all cm10 based roms?
So stuck on Cm10 ROMs, with all other goodies in the Android Development thread? IMHO, the answer is right there in my signature, but..just don't limit yourself to Cm10. Why?

Well not cm10, but cm10 based roms so pretty much anything that is 4.1+. Do they all crash and reboot? I know ics roms are at least more stable if not fine but I'd prefer to use jb over ics, if possible. The Blackstar X rom in your signature is ics based right? I'm not limiting myself but just wondering if jb is stable enough yet.
My main question is if I can run jb roms and use the Note on Wind mobile, and if so which radios to flash. If I can't do that then I'll only be able to use ics roms so of course that's what I'll have to work with.
Just buy the t-mobile version of the note and unlock it. It will work on Wind perfectly with stock rom and modem.

Yes. The link I posted on PAGE 1 is the answer, pretty much sure of that. (They should work regardless of a JB ROM, but heads up on ROMs that include a modem/radio. In that case repeat the modem/radio flash process. For that, again, see page 1.

So there's no distinction between gb/ics radios and radios that would work on a 4.1+ rom? That's all I'm asking. And regarding searching for answers - I've searched multiple times and I have not found a straight answer, either they are half-fixes or people disagree and still have the issue. That's why I posted this. Just looking for a straight up answer if it exists.

Don't know what you're trying to show me here. The different Note models? I know about those, but only the i717 works with aws does it not?
I know you're trying to help but maybe you're misunderstanding me - I already know how to flash the radios, I know that I need to flash a gingerbread radio to get aws working on gingerbread roms and the same for ics. My question is, is there something different I need to do to get aws working on jellybean roms (whichever rom it may be, not just CM10), or what? The point of me asking is so that I can know if my phone would work or not using a jellybean rom, I won't waste my time buying it and then being forced to use ics if jellybean roms are THAT unstable (without fixes) and if there's no aws compatibility. Saves me time and helps me make my decision.
That's all I'm asking. If you do know the answer, please help, but pointing to threads that don't have the answer or telling me to search vaguely does not help. Thanks
Yes, I've pointed you to the answer, yes, as many yes ways as yes possible. But to truly find yes for yourself you have to READ.
As far as (AWS) - Wind- Moblicity- T-Mobile are working for the i717 Note, and I have tried it just because I felt like trying it. Sadly, you stated, cheer up, the i717 is the T-Mobile Note, albeit without the required modem from my first reply.
BLACKSTAR X-SGH-I717 xda-developers app
The modem software you can flash will work for any Galaxy phone from Samsung. And it does not matter which rom you use. The modem software is for the phone hardware not for the rom
The BEST experience would be to use the t-mobile version of the note on Wind Canada.
The LESSER experience is the i717 with any rom and usually the Blaze radio (this modem software is pulled from a t-mobile Blaze 4G phone).
I have read a lot of happy comments from Blaskstar rom ICS users with their t-mobile expeience.

Wow the selection of ROMs for my shiny new SG2 is amazing. I got mine from Expansys and was going to stick with the stock ROM but the constant switching from 3G to H+ was driving me nuts and I would lose data connectivity every few seconds. As a result I decided to give a custom rom a try. Right now I have the Cognition S2 rom installed and will test it out for a few days but I was wondering if some of you have already gone down this path and found a good/stable rom for AT&T. Most important to me is stability, battery life and reliable data/call connectivity.
Turn off fast dormancy *#9900# been with Cog for awhile and loving it.
There is no Best ROM, different stokes for different folks and all. You really should just test around and see what works best for you.

I guess I shouldn't have said "best" - what I really meant what - looking for some success reports from people running particular roms/modems with AT&T. More often than not reply posts are from users outside of the USA so I was finding it tough to gauge issues here in the states. Of course this is to be expected since none of our carriers are selling the phone yet.
Illicit Hero - thanks I did turn off fast dormancy based on the recommendation in the Cognition instructions.
im with fido, which is rogers which is AT&T and I cant say there are any problems with any of the roms. I am however using Criskelo at the moment without a single problem
ROMs are generally non region specific and the most you may have todo is put in the correct apn settings for Internet and mms, but there is a thread for at&t apn settings so you should be covered there.
As far as modems, just work your way though them till you find one that works well for you, your best bet is starting the with newest and working down till you find a good one.

Download speed wouldnt top 100Kbps vs 200Kbps up! and poor signal.
Does anybody know of an ICS rom with Orange Signal Boost built into it? Or a way to put Signal Boost onto my ICS flash? I've tried the flashable zip that was somewhere on the forum but it just kept making my phone say that there was no sim card inserted the Signal Boost app wouldn't launch....
Thanks!
In short no!
The Orange signal boost is some how linked to something in the stock orange ROMs so unless Orange release it to work on non Orange roms we wont benefit from SB.
One of the reasons why I have dropped back to stock + siyah 2.6.12
Although there may be a way I spent a good amount of time trying to find an apk & then get it to work.

I downloaded a CWM file, when you flash it it puts the necessary files in place in lets you use it. I've tested that on stock Gingerbread, but it seems that there must be a different method for doing it on ICS. Thanks for your replies anyway guys

Hey guys,
Are there any t-mobile USA WiFi calling files on this device? I ask as I managed to get orange UK WiFi calling on my HTC sensation, however the files I got didn't work. Ended up using the USA files but pushing the orange UK apk instead.
Obviously the sgs2 is a different device so your mileage may vary, but the apk is in a thread I made over in the sensation forums.
I can't say it will work, so make sure you do suitable backups. Good luck

Has anyone yet been able to get this working before Orange release their ICS?
No-one got this working yet?
+1 i would really like to get this working on an ics rom, i tried the other thread too but with my admittedly limited knowledge nothing will work! If anybody has any ideas i am more than willing to try them or help out in any way i can!

I had Signal Boost working pretty well on my SIM free SGS2 when it was running GB-2.3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830&page=15
Now that Orange UK has finally released ICS-4.0.3, can't we just extract the new versions of the 6x files and run those instead of the GB versions?
From what I have read the GB version of Signal Boost isn't compatible with ICS and stops the GS2's from being able to read the SIM card.
Shouldn't it be that easy? Apologies as I am a relative noob.

Hello, I've flashed the Cyanogen mod for my Samsung Galaxy S2? I've been using it, it works fine.
I'm wondering, do I need to flash a radio? If so, which one? I've seen the links of radios from the Wiki page of Cyanogen under Support Downloads, just don't known which one to use or if I'm supposed to.
Thanks for your help.
Radio is not changed by CyanogenMod.
If you have no call, sms or data issues then i dont think you need to change

I have successfully installed this rom. I think it's the most amazing jelly bean rom for galaxy s2 at the moment. I like its smoothing and quick response. feel a bit warm at the back and the battery is losing 1% at every minute while wifi is on. Over all is great. Cheers!
Actually, I've been experiencing data connection problems. My phone works, but it won't connect to 2g/3g for internet.
Should I try switching radios?
If so, which one is recommended? Or do you just try them at random?
Thanks again
On first boot normally can't get mobile data to work because APN was not configured properly (or the list empty), after a reboot mobile data will work again. If it doesn't, then you have to key in the APN manually.
For radio/modem, since there are no changelog released and nobody know what are the differences among them, it is assumed that the latest one will be better.

first and foremost asking or recomending which ROM/KERNEL/MODEM ,is against XDA rules, since all phones are different due to various reasons , hence if u have a an issue with ur modem u have to try a cpl of them on ur own and see the one suits u the best.

It sounds like your apn settings are messed up. Try to reboot twice and then try. If that doesn't work, you will have to find the settings and input them manually.

What phone do you have? This is the thread for the i777 S2 variant, and at least one of the modems you mentioned are for the i9100 variant (don't recognize the others you list).
You can only use modems designed for your device, so if you have an i777 see the link directly above your post.

Amigo, please try it. You might get a good result.
Since they are galaxy s phones you can flash the modems but not all will work. I was trying other modems Thursday, and even though I got bars and I could enter the APN and activate data, the phone was sooo laggy.
Many users tried the new modem and had the same lag problems. But exeriment and report back. If you get a bad result you only have to flash your old modem, not restore your system.
thats the one I tried, it totally lagged my phone out
Why can't it work? Maddening, I know. The US t-mobile frequencies and the two bands used is the issue. They went rogue with that two band scheme and now there's always issues using any hardware on their network.
Would it be possible to swap out the hardware, specifically the modem chip, or is it soldered on there?
Sent from the Jelly Way Galaxy
The mainboard contains the processors, video, modem, and sound. Not possible to swap chips.
It seems like trading hardware with other xda'ers would be easier and more sure. xda has a sale or trade section.
so do even know if it will be possible to generate a working, better modem from the tmo more at all, or is it just a really difficult task?

So when you say "seems" and "struggle" I take that as being very difficult but not necessarily impossible¿

Nothing is impossible ...
But unless a serious interest is taken by developers who know and understand the coding, and how this code integrates into the chipset,
Then you probably won't see progress.
I'm guessing it would take development at the manufacturer level ....to pull it off.
And carrier/manufacturer relationships are often set in stone. It's amazing that our talented developers are able to glean so much for us, given the fact that often times, they have little or nothing to work with, yet they manage to give us some pretty awesome work ..g
HI everyone... I have a question:
I have an at&t sgh i717 with a virgin sim (Im outside of the us), and I need to choose a new modem (I think) because currently I have this t989 uvle1 for tmobile that I had to use to unlock my phone. I'm getting three bars in the signal so my question is or are: do I really need to change the modem? Does the signal have to show more bars so that one can be sure that the modem fits the phone? And, a modem has to be chosen depending on your phone and on your location (since I'm in southamerica)? does having a 2.6.3 kernel affect any of this, should I upgrade it?
I hope I'm not asking too much, sorry,
thanks

Since you have an i717, normally you would probably want to flash back to an AT&T based modem. However, since you're probably not on AT&T's network, your best bet is to try several modems and see which one works best with the provider in your area. My recommendation is to at least base your tests on signal strength and speed tests.

OK, I'm going to try several because just yesterday I found out that my gps didn't work and I think that's related to not having a suitable modem.
Additionally, I performed a speed test and whereas I get 12 mbps for download in my laptop I got 10 mbps in my phone, not much of a deal though.
Regarding signal, I get from three to four bars which isn't that bad and I've made a couple of calls and everything seems to be fine.
Since the gps thing is a real setback I'll flash another modem but I'm also thinking on upgrading to ics because right know I'm on gingerbread 2.3.6 with 2.6.3 kernel so I wanted to know if It's better to flash the modem before or after upgrading.
Thank you for your answers
You will probably have better luck if you upgrade to an ICS or jelly bean based rom.

The gps not working isn't always antenna issues. You can try to update the gps data file. Go to the market and get a gps fix app. You're looking for an app that will replace your gps configuration file with an updated file.
