I'm sorry if this has allready been posted but I wanted to start a new thread about radios I've always wondered if they actually do improve your call quality and reception in have the stock radio that came with my sprint hero I've always been nervous about flashing a new one the method is would use is through rom Manager and clockworkmod recovery if anyone could post links and how to install a new radio i would really appreciate it my current rom is cm6.1 stable rc1 with gapps on sprint hero.

So you have the newest radio, but often different radios work better or worse depending on geography… trial and error will allow you to see which one gives you the best signal
Right now call quality is halfway decent I live in a rural area with woods but I do have 3g at my house but it drops down to 1x everyonce in awhile witch is fine unless I'm trying to stream video but on my old mytouch it was horrible there 3g stoped five miles from my house so that's why I switched to sprint lol I was just curious about it because there's a Verizon tower half a mile up the road and I roam of it sometimes so I didn't know if switching radios would help or not

No, a backup won't change the radio, but all you have to do is flash the radio you want... I have the links for all of them, so if you want to go back to the old one it's not an issue at all

I am using Kfunk's DarkHorse 53 for Froyo. Pretty slick theme =)
why not look at the wiki and try making your own theme to your likings
So ive been doing some studying and i hear that if you download a 3rd party mms.apk and delte the stock itll be ok, but then i hear you shouldnt delete it..
so i just wanna hear from you guys by your experience whats true. thanks =]
The only way that Android knows how to handle incoming SMS/MMS messages is to reference the messaging.apk, so, keep it.
yea thats what i heard, then again i heard the opposite.
im mainly thinking just of internal memory space, why have two of the same thing kinda thing
Well, MMS.apk is in /system, so you won't see any freed up space anyway.
Nand and delete it. Once you see that it is needed, restore your nand.

s0be's kernel has come a long way. It's close to being feature-complete, but you won't see the huge speedup potential it really has to offer until he deems it stable enough to strip out all of the debug symbols.
The best kernel is the newest one available over on the GSM hero forum. Good luck! Keep on yer toes!

chances are that it would work with sprint without any changes needed. worst case you could use an eri.xml file to change the carrier name. all of the sprint roms will work on cellular south. i just wanna see one built from a CS image, and i am sure that there are several others here that would like to see it too.
