New Radio? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Flashed a few roms on my sexy nexy but my brother had recently flashed a radio and told me of the signal improvement. I'm using Kang O Rama rom and wondered whether anyone could suggest a good radio to flash?
Cheers for any help

First one to say it: Wrong Section
Should be in Q&A.
But, to answer your question, I have seen that it really depends on your own experiences with each radio. I found that none of the 5.XX radios worked well for me. So, I'm running the older radio. But mos people say that the newer ones are better. So, you should just try them out. Just be careful when flashing

Cheers for that. I noticed that I had posted in the wrong forum straight away but didn't know how to move it with tapatalk.
Thanks for the info. Anyone got any recommendations?

same here:
5.12 horrible battery and terrible internet speeds
5.08 terrible battery
4.xx no problems
and the same bad reception on all of them
=> UNLESS you actually have a PROBLEM with the radio, leave it alone!

5.12 radio here, wonderful battery and blazing speeds. No problems at all.

what the newest and pest radio

i want the newest and best radio
my x1 flash with xperia-unoff x1.5 and the network very poor
so what i should do
its "b"est radio m8 ^^
well not easy 2 say... i heard it depends... 1.16 is the last official 1 as far es i know..
i am \also not quite happy with the 1.17 i am using atm.. i guess i will have to try 1.16 and 1.14...
Does the X2 come with a newer Radio mayb .. any1 know?
i think you shuould try every radio... because newest radio may eat you battery in a day ... yes,yes signal is good , but 8 hours and you are empty... for me 1.10 the best .. good signal , good battery .. 1.14 very good signal - 1 day battery . now use unoff 1.5 too
play with that - and you will find the best for you....

lol So true!!!
That's funny right there.
Good Question!
Go easy on the guy! We haven't all owned Xperias since release day. I just got mine a month ago, flashed the Leo Hybrid ROM, and am wondering the exact same question.
My radio seems to be quite weak as well, barely hooking onto HSDPA. It's 1.14.25.55
Any recommendations would be great, and I'd love to read some more reviews in here.

next flash: Darky's or Insanity? Recommendations/endorsements?

have tried just about every custom out there with the exception of insanity and darkys roms.
Pondering both for my next flash....anyone have recommendations for which they prefer.
all comments welcome and encouraged but would doubly appreciate feedback from those who have used both.
Several threads like this have already been locked in the past 2 days. Why start another one?

I apologize if i am in error. I didn't realize there was any problem asking for specific feedback or recommendations on a particular rom or roms.
According to the forum rules what is wrong with my post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81
If i am in error please delete thread.
Just look through both Dev threads. That will give you lots of information on what people like about each one. And if you have flashed about everything under the sun flash both because chances are you will eventually.
I was just pointing out that these kinds of threads have been getting closed left and right the past few days. ROM recommendations are really very subjective. No one knows what your requirements are and how a ROM will fit them. What works for one will not necessarily work for all others. And the ROM Dev forum is really a better place to be looking.
I will add that anything i9000 based like Darky's has plusses and minuses. The plus is that you get great HSUPA speed. The downside is you get the EU flavor and features that don't work. Spelling of some things is EU, options for FFC are there but don't work.
There are many other details.... I just hope for the Captivate source/official release soon so we can get a true captivate 2.2 kernel and tools to build from.
Assonance all the way.

1. I was asking for feedback most specifically from people who has used both roms. This wasn't a Whats the best rom ever thread.
2. The developer thread definitely would not have been a place to post this and in my extensive use of the forum and reading and re-reading of the rules i fail to see how this post violates them. So again if i am mistaken...my apologies to all and i beg on the mercy of a mod to just delete the thread. (i have read both threads for the two stated roms....was hoping to hook more direct compare and contrast from users who have played with both.

lol have used assonance so i was just looking for feedback and comparison between darkys and insanity.
flashed darkys earlier and its a pretty rom but don't think i am liking it any more than Doc's or Chronus so i may give Insanity a run before going back to chronos or doc's.

hey thanks for being one of the first to post feedback thats actually relevant =)
i had went with darkys and what you said is right on. I think i still prefer Chronus Rom and Doc's most recent so will probably flash back to one of them but may give insanity a quick trial before.
So Darky's rom ported over to the Captivate as seen in this thread switches what exactly to make it Captivate-specific...just the modem, kernel and a few GPS-related modifications?

appreciate the link. had already trialed darkys...nice but i went back to chronus 2.0 for now.
funny i had just flashed it when i saw my other favorite rom (doc's) posted an update.
I'd go with the non-racist sounding one.
Should I eat Whopper or chicken sandwich? Which 1 is better? Any recommend? Haha

Personally, I am partial to the breaded chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon. It is quite the treat, and you should only eat one per year to avoid heart conditions, lol.
On topic... I've been looking to start venturing into custom ROM's on my Cappy, but I am tempted to wait and see if Cyanogen ever devs their 6 or 7 for Captivate now that they are dev'ing for Nexus S...
I have used pretty much every ROM out there, even the ones that do not make it to the Captivate forum and so far Darkys is my usual go to ROM.
For some reason, when selecting the Gallery images, it is the only one that does not lag before going to the zoom in and out window.
I am not using Lag fixes btw with any 2.2.1 rom.
have had a chance to play with both....no more recommendations needed.
wow, 10 chars

Which radio do you use?

So I'd really like to know people's opinions on the radios for the Nexus one and what people use. I am currently on 5.08.00.04 radio and I have tried the 5.12.00.08 as well. I think that the 5.08 works better for me at least. What are your opinions and what do you use? Also does it really matter which one you choose?
I'm on 5.12, works fine.
5.08 works fine on TMob USA for me.

Some people experience slower speeds with the "newer" radio. As the saying goes... newer isn't always better.
My N1 had 5.08.00.04 allready pre-installed and all is working perfect. I don't see why I should upgrade/downgrade
Yea I find the 5.08 radio works best for me I get better bandwidth overall and signal originally I was 4.12, just upgraded for cyanogen

Q is modyfing a radio baseband possible

hey as some of yall have seen ive been trying just about everything to get better 3g lately lol. however heres my question after a few nights of googleling i found that ppl have hacked and modified att gsm radios and got crazy speed increases so im wondering if the same thing could be done with a cdma radio saftley that is because flashing a radio is one of the riskiest things you could do. Major props to anyone who thinks they could pull this off and i would deffinitly be down to test if the time came.
Yes, it is possible and there's a post on how to do it somehwere here on XDA. I can't seem to find it, but if you search you should run into it. I haven't done it yet becasue I don't have any signal issues and, based on the poll, about half of the people noticed an improvement.

[Q] ROM advise for Dell STreak 7 with 3G

First of all apologies if I'm repeating a very common question, but I struggled to find what I was looking for and hence this thread.
I'm looking for a custom ROM for my Dell Streak 7 3/4G running on HoneyComb 3.2 as the battery life is not that great.
Can you please recommend a ROM which has everything working (like 4G radio, camera, sound etc) and also give better battery life.
PS: I'm an absolute noob and haven't done anything on my tablet yet (like roting etc).

Can you please point me to download link and steps please? I did a bit of searching but not sure if thats the right one.
I would start at the streak 5 section and look for TheManii's post about DJSteves site being down and see where the files are being hosted. Then do a lot of reading around here. You'll have to do some leg work, but it is worth it.

As there are eight HoneyStreak ROMs listed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7/ROMs, not counting the release candidates, how does one pick the correct HoneyStreak ROM for a particular Streak 7 device?
R8 is the one you want.
Doesnt it make a difference if his unit is already been flashed or not..?
I upgraded from the fyro 2.2 straight to HC3.2 with the latest/last ROM made w/ 3g/4g modem support...
Id love to see ICS or JB w/ some Modem support working then I would do the upgrade...
But to help you out on your journey just check some of my postings I dont have a lot and there you should find the threads you need...

the end result of MIstreak is to have working 3g/4g radios, expect it early new year with semi-working 3g, I am still doing a lot of testing with the builds I am pushing out on a daily basis, I havent had much luck with radios yet but it is getting there
