Hey guys, I got my XZ around 2 months ago and i've been changing roms like crazy because for some reason I can't get LTE to work. I noticed that only when im using cm11 I get DC-Hsdpa that is the fastest I could get until now. I really want to change the rom because there are so many interesting options, but I don't want to lose the fast connection I got now. does someone know what I can do to have this connection work on other roms? I tried flashing every baseband I could find and none worked until now...

i have the DX and somewhat knowledgeable about ROMs and perks of each. unfortunately i am not too sure how the D1 and different ROMS would work since the radio is on Metro vs the standard Verizon that this phone is built on.
so my question is, which ROMs will work for her phone. also, will i be able to install any ROM i want without loosing the flash to Metro that i had to pay for and drive an hour out of town to get done?
this is my only concern is that whatever i install will break the flash and i do NOT want to screw this up.
i am seeing a lot of Camera application freezes and becoming a nucence. would it be just as easy to reinstall the Camera apk or is installing a different ROM even an option?
thanks for your support guys and gals. . . cheers
i say still try and root, flash a rom. i just flashed cy 6.1.2 stable. and i am going tomorrow to get metro flashed. but i say flash it cause you can allways re flash the stock .sbf and move on wit no problems.
but also did u flash metro or did you go pay to get it done. cause im tryna figure out how to do it myself. cause those guys had to learn it somewhere you feel me. so if you kno how please shoot me the steps so i can do mine. thanks in advance bro and hope you get it flashed.
i paid 50 bucks to get it done. at that price, why not. plus i have no time with a 5 month old baby. seems to be running ok though.
here is a link someone sent me that might help you out...
just asking, why do you think you can sbf it and re root and install custom ROM and it will still work on Metro? when you flash a phone to work on this provider, dont you change a bunch of things on the phone in order to make it work? i dont know how to do any of that and if i screwed up this phone and the wife was without it, she would flip out. i am sure you can appreciate that.
with that said, i would like to know if reinstalling the camera.apk would fix any problems.
maybe i will install Launcher Pro tonight for her vs ADW and see what happens. this isnt going to change the way the phone works.. only the way it looks.
just called some random person on Craigslist and they said there is only a few ROM's out there that will work with the Metro PCS.
is this true?
i would love to get her off this ROM, she has called me 3 times today complaining about the freezing and rebooting randomly. i would be upset too..
a little help please.
first of all I installed MIUI rom a week ago ..
it took me 2 hours to just do that..
then I figured out that people are flashing thing called "kernel' which apparently makes phone faster. So i flashed glitch kernel
then I noticed people talking about modem..
what does this modem do and what is the best modem for miui rom?
thanks in advance
I am a super newbie as well.
But I think people change their modem because sometimes the phone signal (3G/2G or whatever) is just too lower than the usual.
It seems to be different phone to phone. But if your phone signal seems normal, you don't need to anything (I guess )

Modems are the software that establishs and controls your phone, data and gps signal. Some modems work better in certain regions or with certain carriers. Some may be best with gps, or shine at data transmission. Also if your phone supports the 850 band you will need a modem that supports that. Getting the best signal you can is important because the sgs can burn a lot of battery life seeking and finding a solid connection.
Modems are painless and quick to flash via recovery, so it never hurts to try a few out to find the best for you and your usage.

Thanks for this educative info.
When we think to root, we should know some know hows to avoid such issues.
Hi
after countless rom and firmware flashes i have to draw a conclusion. My device is often not working as it should or even working at all. I tried many ROMs like you all did so therefore Im not sure if its a general thing or is it just me, but i dont want it that random any longer. I am also tired of fixing stuff.
So I want to know if you guys actually use stock Roms, since this seems the best option to me. If you do, or if you have it accomplished to solve the main Problem without the loss of the shiny new features every ROM provides, tell me! I would really appreciate to know how you guys handle your geeky phone!

To meet it seems most ICS Roms are quite mature these days. I think Cyanogenmod 9 announced they've even begun code freeze.
I know months ago, I did do a lot of tweaking/fixing.
These days, I'm on SlimICS with Semaphore.
Can never see going back to GB.
Hey everyone,
I`ve only had my N1 for a little over a week and I'm loving playing with it. I've noticed however that the download speeds are pretty bad in general, particularly on WiFi where on my GNex I get very fast speeds. I'm wondering if there's something that's limiting the speed and if so, it is fixable? Perhaps flash a new radio? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance!

Flashing a new radio won't help with the downloading speeds and, keep in mind, that the JB ROM for N1 is still in pre-alpha so don't compare it with the lastest GNex. The N1 is over 2 yrs old!!!

Oh yeah, I don't expect the same performance at all! I was just surprised at the striking difference in download speeds in particular. I had an Evo 4G and my roommate had a Backflip (both released relatively near each other) and WiFi speeds were faster=/ I've noticed it on my N1 using CM7.2, two ICS ROMs, and Evervolv's JB...so I suspected it wasn't a ROM issue, rather a hardware one. The only thing I could think to tweak is the baseband/radio firmware.
Hi guys
I wanted to flash one of these two cfw on my girlfriends phone.
The thing is that I have limited time to try out both firmwares and I want to know which one you guys prefer.
Tried out both, but honestly I dont know which one to take
Both run pretty smooth in my opinion, but the rom wont be updated on her phone anymore.
Another side question if you dont mind: Is there a good way to have a better network connection for interneting or even improved battery usage??
Dont know if I should flash the Goldenkernel, since im afraid that its unstable or even unefficient.
Let me know about your experience!
Thanks in advice
Dmod V5
dmod v5 is definetly better than benz. and i tried both of them. benz is laggy.
dmod has cool features from s4. internet works great on it(if you have a good wireless router, or data plan).
battery life is very good. i got 4 days and 12 hours on it and still got 24% battery left. and i didn't use power saving.
tryed all roms for s3 mini. even cyanogenmod 10 (which is beta).
this is the best custom rom for sure.

Theres no which is better or which is not, its based on personal preference, do you want the S4 feel or just stock samsung with Benz status bar which i dont like that much so i went back to enox instead
Dont flash the golden kernel, its kinda buggy and still in early development, i recommend flashing CrossBreeder which i dont really know if it helps with lags

Possible with only phone calls, messaging and low usage of wifi/3G
Thank you for your answers!
Flashing dmod5 then,
love you guys :victory:
These topics are pointless. Ask in the ROM thread, don't create a new one just to ask a question...
Just give them both a try :good:
