[Q] 3g/4g on LG GT540 and which rom is the "best" to update to from 1.6?

Hi guys,
I have an LG GT540, which one is the best rom to update to? I want full functionality. If there are bonuses that would be great to. Someone at T-mobile (my carrier) told me that in order for me to get the 3g/4g network connection, I would have to upgrade my Android 1.6 to something higher (but I don't know which one)....Thanks!

well how about android 2.3.7 (SDSL)??

First: our phone doesn't have 4g (only 3g)
Second: the best rom right now is SDSL v3.
Remember that you must install first the Euro 2.1 rom (that version install fastboot and recovery in your phone) and then install SDSL v3

But don't use the recovery that is in this thread, is out dated.. use this instead (recovery 5.0.2.7):

Also you posted in the wrong Section of the forum.. But yeah Go for Mike's AOSP 2.3 or Swiftdroid Second Life

[Q] Problem Signal CyanogenMod 7.2 RC5.6

Hi Guys,
I have tried the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC5.6 by Squad, but I've see, the signal of my Galaxy is always without signal, but the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 by Meditek the signal is very good, because the cm7 by Squad the signal is usually without signal?? What is the problem, but I'm 14 years old and I'm not English but I'm Italian...

What I learned with time and since then I ALWAYS do: BEFORE every flash of new custom rom you do, FIRST flash the official Samsung stock rom from YOUR locale.
I do it EVERY SINGLE TIME I flash a new custom rom or an updated (from version, not update (i.e. RC5.6 to RC5.7)
And FYI: the version 7.2.0-RC5.7 was just released by squadzone, check it out!

Squadzones builds are a bit buggy but full of features..but mebeitek gives more preference to performance over style..so its just a matter of choice..

Since custom Roms don't touch the baseband it REALLY doesn't matter.
If you need a new baseband, just flash a new baseband, you can do that at any time and it won't touch anything but the baseband, it will leave everything else as it is.

Not really, you can use any baseband as they are intercompatible, just use the one that works best for you. (that would be the latest for your region)

[Q] Gnote N7000 showing 799 MB RAM

I am on ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM; I flashed 3.0.36_Hydracore_v5.34 (screenshot attached)
and now my Gnote is showing only 799 MB ram available in RAM Status.
How can I get back my total RAM ?
Also I want to know Can I flash stable custom ROMs like CyanogenMod 9.1.0
or nightly jellyBin ROM safely without loosing my apps and settings?
Please Help
Thanks in Advance

different kernels show different ram values, some is used by the system so you can never see full
stock shows 808
notecore shows more than that... its normal
---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------
no.. you need to make a full backup of your apps and data before installing custom roms

Yes simply flash the same rom you were on right now and you will get the stock kernel and its not required to do a factory reset

I dont understand what u mean??
You are on hydracore v5.4,and want to flash hydracore v7,then why were you thinking about stock kernel
And to go to cm9,you need to wipe the data

use titanium backup. you will never loose your apps and data

[Q] Newbie question about Kernels and ROMs

Still foggy about Kernels and ROMs.
I recently installed 3.0.36_HydraCore_v5.34 kernel on my GT-N700 which was already running ICS 4.0.4 Baseband version N7000XXLS1 and it seems very stable.
However, I wanted to try the Speedmod JB ROM from Cursed4Eva and saw that it required installing a supplied kernel first. I assumed this is because the kernel and ROM have been developed together for compatibility. (Not sure if I assume correctly or if I'm using the correct terminology).
It all worked fine until I tried to re-install the HydraCore kernel after which the phone wouldn't boot. (I recovered easily using a Nandroid backup with ROM Manager).
My question is, is it always the best practice to install the recommended kernel (if any) when flashing a new ROM and not to try re-installing say, the Hydracore afterwards? The HydraCore claims to be compatible with any ROM but either it isn't compatible with the JB ROM or I'd doing something wrong (more likely).
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Trevor

I don't know what is a speedmod jb rom.
but if it's based on the latest samsung stock touchwiz jellybean rom, the hydracore is not compatible with it. current safe kernel is only philz xxls2/xxls7. If the phone is not booting the boot into recovery and flash the rom again
---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------
hydracore is compatible with most of the roms except the Samsung JB touchwiz as the kernel sources are not released as of yet. Once it does, dev will make it compatible for it too

Thank you. That makes sense. I still have a lot to learn.

[Q] "Jelly Bean-Only" Roms?

I'm currently running JetMOD on my S Advance but wanted to get one of the Jelly Bean roms ( Mainly JellyMOD ), i've tried flashing it but I get stuck on the bootscreen.
Since it says Jelly Bean Only does that mean I have to flash the Un/Official Jelly Bean Firmware and then flash the Rom? If so it would be great if someone could link me to the things I need!
