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

OK, thanks for your help.
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.

OK. I'll try a few different radios. I see a list of links in the Cyanogen Wiki page of under Support Downloads.
Thanks for the quick replies!

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.

After trying over 30 radios I always end up on nelp3. Best signal best data thoroughput and best for battery life.

Thanks everyone! The radio did it!
I flashed this radio:
galaxys2.radio-XXKDH-signed
Now, the data, 3G, works great.
I've been experiencing an issue and have read several post about RADIOS on the SGS2.
I flashed my mobile with the nightly 10.2 CM and after that it started to ask me for "SIM network UNLOCK" Which I can't unlocked, thought it was the version issue so I dl a the newest one and same issue, I tried the ICS stable 9.1 and same issue.
I've read something like radios on the CM support part. Which I dunno where is it yet . If I need to flash it and u guys can help me out to pick up the correct one I'll appreciate it. my model of SGS2 is the i777 from AT&T.
May I install NELP on my CM 9.1? how? where can I get the files to do it?

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.

Sorry, wrong thread. Hadn't time to ask for delete my post :\
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!

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. Or here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573568 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769255 All have the same results.

Don't think I'd even find one up here in Canada. I've seen one a few months ago on craigslist or kijiji but none since then. I'm stuck with the i717 series sadly
Lol, tragic, eh! I tried to resist, I really did.....

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.

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.
Update: nevermind, i just flashed back to the rooted stock rom amd gps is working correctly..i guess i'm done with custom roms..they don't work as well as stock =).
Hey guys, I am currently running the black star xi rom. I'm having trouble getting my gps to lock. I have used the tools available in the system setting to install the att gps config and stock gps config, but both of those don't lock the gps when i running navigation. So, im unable to get voice navigation going. I would have posted this on the black star xi thread...but i don't meet the 10 posts requirement to post there.

Haven't had any issues with really anything but the new camera not showing on SOA build 3. I was on Padawan v8 which was a really stable and nice and fast rom. No GPS issues ever and do not seem to have any on this new rom I just installed yesterday. Hopefully the official JB will be out soon we'll see.
For some reason none of the AOSP or AOKP ROMs (which sadly is a majority of them) work very well for the Note GPS. The only ROMs I have found with good GPS support for the NOTE have been either Stock ROMs or custom ROMs which were derived from a Stock ROM.

Good to know. Which is why I guess Padawan v8 was so stable for me. Thanks for that info.

Honestly it kills me too. I LOVE the new features on ROMs like JellyBeer and other CyanogenMod types, but I'm a nerd and use GPS everyday, and it keeps pushing me back to the other ROMs for the GPS performance.

Well idk if i should ask here or put a new thread sorry im such a noob! But i have the same problem but with ebery singls rom at this point! Even stock. Ive tried flashing radios, gps test apps to remove agps data, and almost every fix i could find but none work!

Maybe start by reposting your issue so others can understand it. If I understand what you wrote, you have the same problem but your navigation apps locate you easily. And that doesn't make sense. Are you trying your GPS outside??
Srry i type fast n misspelle loll (idk how to spell misspelle) okay so wat i meant was that the only app that just keeps sayin "searchin for gps" is the navigation app. The maps app pinpoints my location easily as dies fb n any other app requesting my location. Ive tried every fix i could find on the web and nothing has worked for me! Ive seen fixes with flashing a stock gb radio it didnt work. The gps test app fix didnt work. Ive flashed countless roms from gb to jb n still same issue. N yes im outside ive even been on the roof! (seriously ive been up there am terrified of heiqhts n was stuck for hours didnt think it throuqh lol) thnx for any help.

I had a rooted S3, Multiple ROM's and my google maps(GPS signal) just never worked right. seemed best on the last AOKP milestone....
So I swap over to my friends old i605, Flash that version of the AOPK milestone which is still 4.3 and GPS will not locate at all. What A pain. This phone had an old 4.2 Liquid smooth ROM (4.2) and it worked fine. Flashed AOKP 4.3 now not at all. ROM is rock solid besides that so i'd like to stay on it, but it absolutely kills me to have to use my wife's Iphone when we need Nav.....

Hi all,
First off I may be in the wrong section i have the samsung galaxy s2 t989 (t-mobile) but i can't find that forum.
I already have the hell kat rom on mine right now so installing custom roms is not a problem. I wanted to know if their was a custom rom that is specifically tailored for use in the car.
For example it would have the car dock built in, a gps app that can be used without data, wake when it is connected to charger and stay on while connected. Voice control for music ect...
I know i could just source together all the specific apps i need. But if its out there why re-invent the wheel.
Any Ideas?

I'm using CM11 Kitkat, and it comes with all of those features your looking for. Haven't heard of one for the Hercules specifically designed for a car, bit all of it should come pre-installed, after you flash the rom, and gapps. The only issue with the CM11 Rom I'm using now, is that the bluetooth doesn't really work that great, if at all. It is a nightly, but I haven't really had problems... Check this out:
