Just wonder what modem people are using for AOSP Jellybean 4.2.1/4.2.2? Should i just use the lastest samsung jellybean modem? Or is there a specific optimal modem?

It's location dependent. Like everything else here, TRY IT
there is no such thing as a 'AOSP modem'
there are different zip files depending on what rom you are on, simply because of the different flashing methods between the 2...the actual modem.bin's are the same.

Yes I know theres no such thing as a aosp modem. I should have put a comma between the two.

I personally use uckl7 modem, found it to be the best for my area rural California mountains. Just test each one out for while to see what the best one for you is. I don't think there is an almighty best modem.

I've flashed a T-mobile modem and using with the HSPA+ for awhile, however the Saurom ROM I'm using has some bugs like I can't reboot my phone properly and I sometimes lost signals, so my question is: if I want to flash my Note back to stock android, am I gonna lose the capability of using the HSPA+ which I'm using right now? Is there any ROM you would recommend that would be stable for the Note and still have the T-mobile modem enabled? Please give me an answer because I've been confused with this for awhile. God bless you all...
Question
Anybody? Please?
I'm using Saurom 7.1 and ICS theme on,Blaze modem and its been running great. It isn't as fast speedwise compared to my Amaze 4g but stable and fast.

You will probably have to reflash the tmo modem. But it might still be there as others have had non-stock modems that were still there even after flashing a stock tar file.

Best way to be sure would be to flash the stock radio. Though, it would be nice to know if using Odin will put EVERYTHING back to stock.
I'll bet the answer exists on the forum already but it's a good question, regardless.

Oops. Read the question wrong. So far as i know, once you flash a radio, it's there forever. Unless you flash a new one. Depending on how someone makes their ROM, this could change, but I'm betting that most of the devs aren't worried about forcibly making the people flashing their **** switch modems.

thanks for sharing. I've heard some infos about flashing back to stock could affect the radio, but I feel relieved when I saw this.
Dont worry about the modem in GB just flash it and it'll work
all ive heard is that the "ICS leak" doesnt play well with TMO modem
but idk to be honest
What exactly are modems and do I need to flash a certain one?
Modems are the drivers for your mobile data radio. And you can test out each one to see which works best in your area.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Okay,thanks, so they are like radios?
Also would I mess my phone up if I flashed the wrong one or is there not a wrong one just different ones for different areas?

Just as long as you use the one appropriate to your ROM, i.e. if you're running CM, use a CM modem. Even if you flash the wrong one, no harm, just flash a different one. Worst case scenario, just do a restore to a previous Nandroid. Check out the modem thread in original development for the different modems and a google map of people's recommendations based on location.

Okay thank you very Much!
I have noticed that any ROMs based on the international base have a problem with putting my Note II into roaming whenever I am connected to my network extender at home. Any ROMs built on the Verizon base work just fine. My question is: can I backup my modem settings with TWRP, flash a ROM built on the international base and then restore the modem as the last step to get around this issue?
Sorry if this is a noob question, but I am new to Android and custom ROMs.

The modem stays with every flash until you flash a new one, you don't have to worry about it. As for what you want to do I don't think it would matter about the Network Extender, everything you would need would be built in to the international Roms on our forums, but I'm not 100% sure as I've never came across this before.

Well sting as how the modem carries over no matter what you flash then you wouldn't have a problem there. How does the extender work? Do you connect like WiFi or does the phone automatically pick it up or do you have a special app? I don't think you'd have assn issue as long as you stayed on TW but AOSP you may depending on how the extender works.

The network extender connects to a home wireless network so you are basically doing VOIP when connected to it. There is no app to use, the phone automatically uses the extender when it is available.

Then it should work with any ROM.
The only thing I have found is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108887
The only time problems were experienced was on AOSP, and that was only due to a leaked modem that probably wasn't optimized yet, so I would bet you won't have any issues

Thanks for the link. That is pretty much exactly what happens for me with any AOSP/International base ROM. I am guessing that network extenders are a Verizon/US only device and perhaps that explains why only Verizon based ROMs properly recognize the extender. The extender itself actually works and my phone calls properly get routed through the extender. The phone however is always on roaming when connected to the extender, so if data roaming for example is turned off things get a little difficult. It isn't a huge deal really, it just keeps me from using some of the more interesting AOSP type ROMs that are available.

You could ask Scott if there is a fix for Cleanrom and ask Beans the same thing. You could also ask in the AOSP threads if there is any way for that to be worked on, its very very odd....

It may be something that was either taken out to make the ROM more sleek or not added to the international base.

Check your imei to see if it has been corrupted. It would be under About Phone

Check your modem. Try flashing a new one.

The modems can be flashed separately without changing your base firmware. Go to the modems thread in development and try some of the more recent ones. In the about phone screen, your baseband will be the modem.
Different folks get differing results in different geographical areas.

So all I have to do is pick one and flash with clockwork mod and see how it works for me?

Yep. That's it. Try several of them, or all of them. It's relatively painless. I actually have all of the zip files on my sd card.
Hi, I'm a bit confused when it comes to modems/radios. I currently am on i717UCMD3, and it runs pretty great on T-Mobile. But I want to find another modem to see if it's any better when it comes to reception. However, I can't find any other modems that are for jellybean. I was wondering if anyone had links or anything to other modems?
Thanks!

Read here, here and here proceed at your own caution
As long as its a modem for this device, you can flash away. Take em all for a test drive. Just flash modems, no need to reflash rom with them.

Thanx for that input - I need a modem too. Mine sucks i717UCMB4, so I will go through them also. will update.
BTW Do you mind to share what modem you have, how you like it, and rom & phone network? Thanx!

I am on At&T and have never had an issue with whatever modem comes with the rom. Then again, I treat the modem like I do the kernal. It should work with whatever comes with the rom. If it doesnt, for the most part, I wont run it. Right now I am running Hellybean. I was one of the first to try for our device. Lots of options and doesnt suck battery like the KK's.
