Hi,
It looks like the stock GB rom and OTA ICS rom both have the bitpool setting set pretty low. Is there any ROM for the Vivid that has a higher bitpool setting?
There is no ICS ROM with that modification available yet for the Vivid.

Hi, i have a Verizon Galaxy tab. I was interested in flashing a new ROM. Does anyone know if the tab has a Sim card? and which is a good ROM? Has anyone successfully flashed a ROM where everything worked? I use my tab in the car and need 3g, gps etc. But im itching to flash a kernel and a new ROM. Anyone have any advise? looks like most of them are for GSM and not CDMA. Please Help!
The Verizon (and Sprint) SGT does not have a SIM card as they are CDMA devices.
There is a small handful of ROMs available however at first it was pain getting started flashing the CDMA SGTs I've messed with.
Personally, I like oldmacnut's ROMs.
However, I'm currently running KhasMek's kernel and the stock ROM (just until oldmacnut finishes his GB port) - Also, running LauncherPro to hide that awful touchwiz interface and Dolphin Browser HD (for better browsing) - This has made the SGT loads better for me.
My advise to anyone looking to flash ROMs (even as unlikely as it is) if you're note 100% okay with the possibility of a brick, then don't flash. Personally, I've never encountered a bad flash I couldn't recover, but your milage may vary.
Thanks Addictive,
I am also waiting for stable GB roms for my VZ Tab. But I need to flash a nice kernel and a ROM. Even though the rooted tab runs nice with some tweaks......such as launcher Pro. I never used Dolphin HD. Ive always used Miren Browser since its lightweight and real quick for me BUT i will def give Dolphin a try. I might follow your footsteps and flash KhasMek's kernel and wait for Gingy. Have you noticed any significant differences as far as performance with this kernel?
The kernel is a touch buggy, but for me the performance boost was worth it. Lagfix, ext4 conversion and over clock were too good to pass up.
Using SetCPU to bump up on demand to 1.4GHz helps a bit when I push the tab (google music streaming in the background, navigation running in the background, bluetooth paired to car for audio, a friend browsing the web .... simultaneously) - Doing that stock made it angry, audio would skip and UI would lag, now its nearly perfect.
Also, I use Refresh for Android to reboot the tab automatically at 4:30 AM everyday. This alone has helped with stability/performance. Recently though, it has stopped automatically rebooting the SGT. I got the app because I was too lazy to setup a cron job to do it for me heh.
Hmmm well I have the ext 4 conversion (using OCLF) and that definitely made it much snappier but mine is running stock as far as cpu goes. I haven't experimented with overclocking...not sure if I want to risk damaging mine. But it did spike my interest since I have the same setup and have a car mount for mine. So I stream music and goole map it along with other goodies (like trapster) and sometimes it stutters. Would be cool to see how much faster it would go. And yeah rebooting always helps lol so I might flash that kernel friday. Have you tried any other ones?

Hi all,
I'm using latest MIUI ROM atm and love it. however there's a problem of the signal sign which stays on G all the time unless i'm doing any data-related task such as browsing or facebook. at that moment it will quickly change to HSDPA.
not sure if it's a feature or a bug by MIUI?
i have used trinity, coredroid and icecold, they're all good staying in H/3G
Just wondering if anyone else experiencing the same issue with MIUI rom?
I already tried the 27/28/29 radio as well
thanks for the replies

Does this happen everywhere or only in certain locations?
am sure you are aware that gprs/3g is dependent on the network strength.
so it could be cos of a low signal strength area.
since you have tried a couple of radios, try any other rom & check if the problem persists
My phone behaves like this too. But I believe it's carrier specific because when I was using the previous operator the signal always stay in H. Once I begin using current operator, the signal stay in 3G and will switch to H if I access mobile data.
Hi all,
yeah I did try other ROMs and it works alright (trinity and coredroid + icecold)
with the MIUI, the problem persists everywhere even when I change the radio
very hard for me to change MIUI because of the feature and the smoothness
now I set it to use 2G only to save battery
I guess it's not a feature in MIUI since changing between GPRS/HSPA drains the battery?

Actually you can try changing some settings in /system/build.prop. Look for these two settings:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
If they're of different values, change them, reboot and see if there's any difference. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, just change them back.
I have recently s-off my Incredible S and everything has gone good, I managed to flash Cyanogen Mod 7.1 and also MIUI 2.4.6 both downloaded from the Chinese and the German websites and MIUI ICS port. And they all share a common problem where they do connect to Wi-Fi but the speed at which pages load and downloads take place is slow. I have tried different versions of Tiamat Kernel and LorD ClockaN (lordmodUEv8.5-CFS-VIVO-2.0) and the problem still persists. I flashed back to default ROM and the problem also was there but in the Wi-Fi settings under advanced there is an option "best wi-fi performance" after selecting it the pages loaded quickly. Is there any known solution that could help, thanks in advance.
also when I perform Speed Test using the app, it shows that I have 5 mb/s speed that i should be having, and the router is 2 to 3 meters away.
I'm sure you already know but if the browsing is fast then the problem's with download can be that its the server problem!!

I will try some sense ROM's let's see how that goes.
Hey sup everybody !
I have tryed all of the JB roms out there, but they all seem to have poor wifi quality
can any one confirm ?
thx
Sane here.
I'm not sure exactly what causes this but according to my phone I definitively get worse wifi through JB then ICS and GB.
From what I've picked up the way the phone picks up WIFI has little or nothing to do with the ROM you have installed. Perhaps since JB is more recent and used on the phones with higher specification the wifi picked up on our S's is the same as before but measures differently through JB?
not agree with you .Please flash Nexus Radio KF1 zip file from CWM or reflash cm7 JW4,JW1 radio files.

Did you try fix permission or configure Strong wifi from wifi power mode in Devil Kernel config app ?

Confirmed, wifi signal is poor on JB with every kernel.

You won't trouble any wifi issues if you flash JB ROM with full wipe and full format.Wifi signal bars show same levels just like in GB or ICS .

"specification" nor modem has anything to do with wifi strength
Same here, better WiFi signal strenght on ICS, MIUI GB than JB (doesn't matter stock or CM10). Tried all JB roms from xda, same problem.
Agree!
I don´t know... Maybe Radio files have to do something with that?
How can I find out which one I should flash?
I tried wifix and wifix manager , but nothing changed, this problem is so annoying I guess I'll get back to ICS or GB until they fix it

Modems/radio files have nothing to do with wifi...they are separated modules.
The wifi module is in the kernel. The right modems just give you better signal, with better signal, comes better battery, and i think it has something to do with the gps, but i`m not sure in what percentage.
WiFi was not working at all, Then something happened, Maybe I removed name and added it again that's what made it work, Not sure.
any hard evidence? show some transfer rates compares to ics.
maybe signal strength is not displayed correctly in jb?
bcos i dont notice any speed decrease on wifi since ics

WiFi seems the same as ICS for me. I have enabled the PM Fast setting in the kernel and also turned off the Avoid Poor Connections setting in the advanced wifi settings
Secure wifi
I am using Galaxy S(I9000) with JRO03H 4.1.1 ROM and ZSJPG modem and Devil 3_1.0.4 kernel. when I am trying to connect to a secured wifi it throws authentication error. ( I know nothing wrong with my user id and password as the same works on other device.) please suggest if this has to do with modem or kernel and is there any way to fix this.

i second/third this .. i have a worse wifi signal in jb .. tried a couple of roms .
i am saying this based on the fact that i frequently use my phone in one room of my house and i always got 2 bars.... with jb its never more than 1 bar .. and to proove that its just not a reporting case .. i get frequent disconnects with jb which never happened with ics .. so there .. confirmed ...
This is a feature of JB that was added to prevent connection intermittently dropping due to a weak WiFi signal.
If you want the old behaviour go to WiFi settings, options -> advanced and untick "avoid poor connections"

Is really the signal weaker, or it is only a matter of scale?

So far this rom has been working flawlessly, I've noticed an increase in my battery life vs the Eclipse 2.2 rom I was using, along with the general smoothness of how everything responds. Camera works fine for what I'd need it for (basically shots of furniture to put on craigslist) and connectivity to both wifi and 3g networks is great. One thing I was wondering about is if anyone knows how to change notification LCD colors? I've heard it could be done and would love to change it up
