I have looked on the XDA-wiki, tried the forum and Google searches for an answer to my questions about radios and what they do with no luck, so I hope you can help....
I see there are a lot of different versions of radios that can be flashed. What kind of impact can be seen if I flash a ROM and I'm using my stock ROM, yet the ROM I'm flashing recommends another radio? What kind of impact will that have on the function of the ROM I'm flashing, if any? Could that be the cause for the delay in notifications, missed text messages, etc
Thank you in advance and if this is a redundant question please point me in the right direction.
Here is a link to the Radio thread, future posts should probably go here
Think of the radio as a driver for your phone's internal antenna. Newer radios improve signal quality and battery life. Read through posts at the thread I have linked to, so you can gain a better understanding of which radio is right for you.
You must HardSPL your phone before you install a new radio, or suffer the consequences. If you have flashed ROMs to your phone, then you most likely have done this already. Flashing a radio uses the exact same process.
I hope I helped, good luck and remember to read read read.

Just updated to Dutty's latest (Apr 16) and want to change to a new radio as I've been having problems with the included radio. I've searched through the forums, but haven't been able to find any kind of step-by-step guide how to flash a new radio. I've already found the radio I want to use, just need to know how to flash it. Thanks.
same way you flashed the rom
Ok thanks. I just wanted to make sure I don't erase anything on my device.
NP. I would have normally flamed that question but I have spent alot of time lately trying to update the Kaiser FAQ because it was hard to follow. It had become a little cluttered. For the future, check the below link first. Might save you from a flaming.

Please get familiar with what you are dong before you face sever consequences with regards to your device (ie a brick).

This thread would be a good place to start reading, there some info that will help you out..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
Serial Threader Warning....
Really, 5 Threads all about the same issue?
Seriously, as already directed please spend more time reading.
You should already know about the WM6.01/6.1 Radio sound issue.
Why are you flashing HardSPL if you don't know how to flash a Radio Rom?
Be careful or you Kaiser won't last long....
Be more cautious when thinking about opening a new thread..
Sorry I'm a little noobish when it comes to Androids (trying to come over from an iPhone).
I understand rooting. But... Can you tell me advantages/disadvantages of all these ROMS? Do some have the latest radio firwmare and some don't? I thought I read I could also modify these ROMs as well. I would appreciate some insight. Thanks

You can do anything. If you read the forums you will learn a lot more than any 1 person here could ever teach you in one post. Happy reading.
P.s. posts like this are frowned upon around where when you could have searched.
ROMs are just modified versions of the standard firmware the developers that make them bundle certain apps with them and make some slight changes. IIRC they are all rooted.
I think the radio firmware can be updated seperatly as i downloaded the HTC radio directly from the HTC website.
There is a thread here that tries to chart the differences between builds (the name "rom" is kind of a misnomer).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517506
Also, for community ("hacked"/"rooted") builds, they generally don't include the radio. You would update the radio and bootloader separately. The official builds tend to include radio and or bootloader updates.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5692
This should help you out with any information on Firmwares, its alot better then a stupid chart.
Just do yourself a favor.. Do not Flash before you read the entire thread. Because you may find your new G1 is a brick.
If you want something or want to upgrade SPL or Recovery or Rom Make sure you competely read the thread you may find that other users that have previously flashed that particular item will give feedback.

that link also links to the same "stupid" chart. btw that chart is great for deciding which build suits your needs the best
I was sorta kindling.....
My thread has all the information and MORE. The chart is helpful but you can't get any helpful links with it. My thread has information/my thoughts/ and updates on how to find the newest firmware.

Guys, I know how to flash a radio. I know what a radio does. This was part of my other post and never answered
I see there are a lot of different versions of radios that can be flashed. What kind of impact can be seen if I flash a ROM and I'm using my stock ROM, yet the ROM I'm flashing recommends another radio?
What kind of impact will that have on the function of the ROM I'm flashing, if any? Could that be the cause for the delay in notifications, missed text messages, etc
Why post a new thread though ? Fine if you want to bump the other thread, but it just clutters up the forum to start a new thread on the same subject
Radio thread is sticked at the top of this forum if you're having trouble finding it...
I have a few questions...
If i root using this method
forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=694572 (i had the regular link, but it told me since im new i cant post it)
is there a way that i can install a kernal to get it to 710 mhz? Kinda like the one in Buufed 2.1.2. I had it before and my battery life was great and the phone was really fast and responsive, but i wanted my visual voicemail.
Also, if im able to do that, would i be able to put Apps2SD on my phone even if i wont have a custom rom? Do i even need a custom rom?
Also, ive searched for relevant things, and all that came up was threads where people would reply "DO A SEARCH BEFORE POSTING! RARARA!" and not answer the question in any way shape or form, so please, skip that and help me.
I'm noobie enough as it is.
and also forced roaming...i tried out Cyanogens 2.2 ROM and it had forced roaming on it and that helped a LOT because my phone constantly switches between sprint and verizon in my house which would make it lag and drain battery faster, so my other question is is there some way to get forced roaming on my phone without a custom rom too?
sp basically im looking for if its possible to have Apps2SD, an OC 710 mhz kernal and forced roaming without puting any custom roms on?
Actually, all your questions are answered elsewhere if you would have just done a little bit of reading through the threads, or even just read the titles of some of the threads. Good job on trying the Search feature, just work a little harder at reading through the results next time. Also read the titles of threads. Being a newbie isn't an excuse to be lazy.
Here are your answers that I will kindly link for you below:
No, you can't have A2SD on regular 2.1 stock. The A2SD support code is something that has to be built into the boot image of a ROM. So yes, you will need to use a custom ROM that has A2SD support. That answer is in post #3 of the A2SD thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116
You can't overclock the stock 2.1 because the OC kernels are packaged with specific ramdisks for each custom ROM. So in order to overclock, you will have to use both a custom ROM and the one of specific OC kernels for that particular ROM. That answer was found in post #1 of the OC kernel thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705074
There is a method for Force Roam, but I don't think anyone has got it working on the Sprint CDMA Hero yet. Cyanogenmod does have a patch for it. Here are just a couple short threads detailing this, both of which I was easily able to find by searching "force roam":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739208
http://forum.xda-developers.com//showpost.php?p=5405666&postcount=18
http://forum.xda-developers.com//showthread.php?t=572041
In short -- no, you can't do anything you're asking about without a custom ROM.
Also, in addition to reading more before posting next time, please also note where the appropriate place to post is. Since this was a question, it should have gone in the "Q&A" forum. Thanks, welcome, and good luck.
Also, please considering reading the rules and posting in the correct sub-forum.
