Hi there
Firstly.. No, this is not a typical noobie thread asking for the best custom ROM out there, as I know it's related to personal preference. My problem is that I have a download limit, so I can not test out every ROM I'd like to.
A solution to this problem would be if you guys could recommend a few of the fastest ROMs for me, in your experiences (I'm not so interested in eye candy, more usability.. and most importantly I want it AS SMOOOOOTH AS POSSIBLE, I love smoooothness ) After a few ROMs are recommended I'll have a better picture of what to check out and what to download and I won't be wasting toomuch of my download limit.
Thanks in advance
Why do you have a download limit? What is your limit?
I live in South Africa where not everyone has unlimited internet.. My download limit is 5gb a month (but thats for my whole family...) , but I'm pretty close to blowing it :-/
C'mon, can't anyone help me out here?

I think you should start a new thread (search first) entitled "Fastest Custom ROM?" That will get a discussion started, and people who are interested in the subject will see the title and post their opinions.
I'll try that.. I wanted to avoid that though, 'cause I didn't want this to be those typical "What is the best custom ROM?" threads, and recieve the typical reply of "There is no best custom ROM"

Just sort the forum by the ROM w/ the most posts or views. If you go with those they will most likely be the most tested, have more user support/solution, and they have gone through a couple different versions.

Yes, but the specific question is which is the FASTEST ROM.
I tried a couple roms and decided I hated 6.5, so I cannot say for sure...but I can point you in a direction to check threads...
Energy, Cell, Josh, and DeepShining have all had very positive responses, and speed is something commonly mentioned among the pluses.
I hope this helps. Perhaps reading those particular threads can help you decide before wasting bandwidth.

In other words it is literally impossible to tell. The fastest ROM will be a today screen or titanium with no mods, it really boils down to what you want your phone to do though. I personally like eye candy and stability, you can see what I've chosen below for those. Don't get me wrong, it is still pretty fast, just not as fast as a bone stock ROM would be. I'd be willing to download, burn, and send a DVD full of ROMs, let me know.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I've reached my download limit lol.. I'm posting this from my phone's internet.
WOW! That DVD would be TRULY awesome, and I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it. How can we go about doing this kind sir?
I have tested out LOADS of ROMs.
But I always go back to one in particular,
Touch X "SENSE 2.0B X-TREME"
Now unfortunately this ROM has been dis-continued.
But 2.0 is still available for download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575747
For speed its great. If I have no today plugin running when i soft reset, there's only 36% memory usage.
Manilla reaps the memory a bit, having around 50% memory usage after soft reset.
Which is why I use other today plugins like 'iphone today' and 'throttlelauncher'
Over all its the the best (in my personal opinion mind)
And its not littered with unnecessary apps

I just stumbled across this old thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=265606
Is the possibility of this true?? Has anyone tried to do work on the Radio ROM to bring in Quad band? I would pay to have 850 available for my phone.
Comments?
Has anyone tried an Athena radio on the Universal ( I presume yes, still looking through the forums ). And what about the HTC Sable? They both use the same CPU and the Sable in particular has comparable ROM sizes.
Quote from one of the links:
QUALCOMM's MSM6250 chipset solution helps enable worldwide roaming for
WCDMA (UMTS) terminals. The MSM6250 system solution supports dual-mode, quad-
band GSM transceiver operations [GSM 850, GSM 900, Digital Cellular System
(DCS) 1800, and GSM 1900] and WCDMA (UMTS) transmit operations for 800 MHz,
1900 MHz and 2100 MHz.
Shouldn't the Universal therefore be able to do 850 with a change to the radio ROM? Do the HTC Sable and Athena use the same chipset?
Can anyone help us?
It would be great to have a 850 band for my SPVm5000. Hope anybody can answer your question. Seems that since this phone was only released for europe and not USA the quadband was not open
Hi Guys,
I wanted share my experience here so I might save money and frustration to whom might thinking of upgrading their Hermeses.
My Hermes broke down and I thought it was time to upgrade. I read a lot about Touch Pro and Pro 2, watched the review videos. I debated between cute and small pro and giant screen and tilting pro 2. Finally, money dictated to go with touch pro.
Long story short, as you might know, Raphael has more than one version. I know two of them. One is Touch Pro for Asia and Europe. The other is Fuze (branded AT&T).
EuroAsia version is sold much cheaper but it is not North American 3G compatible. It is 3G phone but not in NA. You can only get EDGE connection.
I don't know about other versions and details. Best thing to do is to call HTC and give them the IMEI number of the phone to verify the compatibility of the phone with North American 3G.
I hope this helps.
Same with Hermes too though. In Australia we use a different bandwidth for 3G.
Hasn't this always been the way with EU/US UMTS bands? 1900 & 2100MHz for the UK, Europe and Australia, and the US has 850 + 1900, and 1700 + 2100 (AT&T and T-Mobile respectively)... 850MHz just for the States because the suggested freqs were all already in use in North America at the time before Clinton signed in his Presidential Memorandum.
While I'm at it, the UK UMTS allocations and licenses are as follows...
1900.3 - 1905.2 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence D - T-Mobile
1905.2 - 1910.1 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence E - Orange
1910.1 - 1915.0 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence C - O2
1915.0 - 1919.9 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence A - '3'

(from http://www.prattfamily.demon.co.uk/mikep/frequency.htm)
1900MHz
"1900 & 2100MHz for the UK, Europe and Australia"
"US has 850 + 1900"
So shouldn't an European 3G phone be able to use the AT&T 1900MHz frequency?
IMO,
i'd go for touchpro.. for its price and functionability.
touchpro and tp2 doesnt have much big diff. except for its design and sliders. and the upgrade of the processor.
and its seems like tp2 if heavier than tp and hermes too.. according to da specs. haha..
for the sake of price. and functions. i'd just opt for tp.. lolz
Supposing 2.1 GHz (2100 MHz) is allocated for 3G, how will 3G work..
Will it require another frequency slot such as 900 MHz to upload and use the existing 2100 MHz to Download data ???
or use the same 2100 MHz for all types of tranfers viz., both Upload and Download ???
Please Clarify...
Note : My understanding is that it shall use the same frequency band to UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD Data as well....
Before your fingers get shot, type the subject on google and check the first link... that way you won't get the, use the search button excuse etc etc.

3G doesn't need a specific band like 2100MHz to work. Like most other wireless technologies, it can work with many different frequencies. However, carriers have certain bands licensed to them. Obviously they don't wan't to share the same frequencies because conflicts arise.
3rd Generation wireless technologies also don't need one wireless band for upstream, one for downstream... but separating the two makes each piece faster. Therefore carriers usually use HSDPA and HSUPA (3.5G wireless technologies) on different bands... like 900/2100.
But to answer the real butt of your question: no you can't get 3G on your device unless it is specifically designed to work for your 3G network provider. It doesn't matter if it supports only one of your carrier's frequencies, or even both of them (because there are sub-bands as well).
If you need a 3G device, buy it from your carrier or make sure that you know which exact carriers it is designed to work on.

I think you ask the wrong forum.
I will suggest you to google on the following:
WCDMA
HSDPA HSUPA
UMTS
This will give you a brief idea. If not, there are plenty of books and classes you can take...
Actually, each of the listed bands is typically listed into uplink and downlink allocations. I think for UMTS uplink is a bit below 2100, and downlink is above. It's been a while.
Either way, Google it.

Dear xda Members and / or galaxy note 2 Users,
I'm a bit confused about the various versions of the Note 2.
In a few days I'll visit Florida and intend to buy the LTE version from Walmart.
ht.tp://ww w.walmart. com/ip/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Smartphone-Titanium-Gray/22374238
(I don't know if shoplinks are allowed, but you can't buy it directly here and i hope you can accept it anyway this time)
However, I need to know whether the phone works in Europe/Germany and with which communication standards.
Is there a difference between the US and European GT-N7105?
on ht.tp://e n.wikipedia. org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II i found various versions called
AWS phone
CDMA/EV-DO phone
TD-SCDMA phone
Dual-cell HSPA phone.
and the LTE where they tell that it would be kind of an "International" phone.
"Most of the variants support GSM/GPRS/EDGE in the 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1.9 Ghz, and 2.1 Ghz bands; and UMTS/HSPA+21 in 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1.9 Ghz, and 2.1 Ghz"
Does the version i found on the walmart page support UMTS? there are only specifications that it can handle GSM and LTE, but not which LTE Bands.
(I think I need support for 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and/or 2600 MHz in Western Europe)
correct me if i'm wrong with any statement and enlighten the confusion for me if pssible
Thanks in advance !
PS: I'm not allowed to post outside links here, so I addet space characters before .com and .org and in the www and the "en" and dots between the ht.tp's. remove them before copying.
Hello guys.. i have a problem.. I have a optimus G with soft F180K (its for KT network) and i have a LTE plan in SKtelecom (F180S) but my LTE connection its not working. Can somebody help me by answering to this questions?
If i flash the F180S will solve my problem? Its this even possible? If yes, can somebody point me to the right way ?
Thanks in advance.
completition
So guys to complete a little the status of my phone.. i have root access.. also CWM installed.. my question is if i install a custom rom i will get access to more bands for LTE or the device is limited somehow..
thanks..
confirm your in Korea ? right
i have flashed a basebands of k to l and l to K so i can confirm, its save but i didnt got the signals.
flashing kernel should be ok too because its the same device
so i say yes you can flash, but if both networks uses same lte frequencies it will work with proper apn, other wise no.
yes im on korean network. im not sure if both work on same lte frequencies . the apn its not a problem, i have .. but atm it shows connecting to 4G but no data in... so something its wrong.. i think its software related .. i can connect to 3G but no 4G..my phone have for LTE B3 (1800) and B8 (900).. by installing a custom rom will abtain more freq.. ? or ill have to do more than that,, and if yes what i need to do ? one link yould be nice noob friendly if possible
thanks..

1: it has to be apn if your 3g works
2: software doesn't enable somethings that's not there in hardware, so if both sets have same frequencies radio and both networks uses same it will work.
skip custom and flash stock roms and if you get zero network that try your model's baseband.
but remember it is possible basebands are blocked to work on others network.
Thanks.

Nope,you can't enable other frequencies. That's why there are so many variants of optimus G. There is no phone supporting all LTE from al regions.Unlike 2G/3G,which have a global standard,LTE is still young,evolving and developing.
