Does anyone have any recommendations for a kernel (that supports 2way call recording) and a radio (that works well on the vodafone australia network, if they are network specific), as I did a bit of searching but there isn't really any recommendations, eg should I always go with the latest radio etc, or quite what..
Any help would be much appreciated.
I was looking at "LorDModUE V8.5" -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085725
I'm unsure which radio though...
Lordmod is definitely a good kernel, and it has a 2-way call recording option
As for radio, I assume you've seen this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
I know that some Vodafone phones are shipped with the 26.09.04.11_M2 radio, so you would assume that Vodafone know what they're doing and have used that radio for a reason. I'm using that one now and it has good reception and battery life (although I'm with Optus. There's only so much a radio can do to help out poor Vodafail )
In the end though, if you're comfortable with the process you should test a couple out because it might be different for your phone

Yeah, ended up running his CFS kernel with 2-way recording.
Yep seen that thread, ended up running 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M for now, just because it has some good reports.
Haha I know, vodafone is terrible, just had a cheap plan which did what I want with the phone I wanted at the time
It's stupid that in UK vodafone is rather good, and alot of other places. *sigh*
Thanks though, may go through and test them if I don't like how this radio goes..

No worries mate. The only reason I'm using my current radio at the moment is because I saw some DHD's were shipped with it here, so I thought I'd give it a go to see if it makes a difference to call quality. I found the 26.13.04.19_M was a bit dodgy on the call quality although battery life was very good. Let me know how your one goes, I might consider another change!

Hi, I am using CM7.1 Stable at the moment. But with stock kernel and 26.13.04.19 radio. I had 26.14.04.28 installed on my DHD before, but found it drains too much battery (I might be wrong through and the culprit could be some of my apps or setting.)
Could you please tell me how it goes in your DHD? Battery life good?
Just want to see if it is the radio or the apps caused battery drain.
I tried the stock one. Works well. The regional stock one.

The battery is draining fairly fast, going to test the stock one you're using against the one I'm using at the moment.
I'm using 26.14.04.28 at the moment and it's the best so far. However, I'm not sure whether with different radio shouldn't come different RIL to prevent battery drains (and where to get such RILs for CM).

An update for you.
My most recent battery tests have had crazy good results. I got an overnight drain of about 0.3% per hour!
The setup is:
Radio: 26.09.04.11_M2
RIL: 2.2.1003G
Kernel: LordModUEv8.6-CFS-b5
ROM: a recent BlackICE KANG
So if you're getting high drain still, you could give this a try. I won't be changing anything for a while, I don't want to lose these amazing results!

No worries. Keep in mind that radios act differently for every location so your mileage may vary. But I hope it's a winning combo for you!
@maatsby, i have the same config like your's, but with the 26.14.04.28M the internet connection is faster than 26.09.04.11M2. I seek issues but don't find. Just the ril in g mode to get in the folder blackice isn't exist imo.

Hey guys,
I just moved from the Netherlands to Australia and I got a contract on the Next G network from Telstra. I am currently running Radio 1.54.00.1 which is not bad, but it can be better I think. I was wondering if there are other people here that are on this network and if you have any recommendations?
Thank a lot

Welcome to the Land of Oz!
Best I've found so far is 1.40.30.00 running with Black RC rom, tried all the others but always end up back here. With a newer rom base 3.61 or 3.62 a newer radio may???? be better, but until I find a better rom than Black RC (haven't yet) this is the radio that seems to give the best all round performance.
i am using htc original based rom (hacked) which i find extremely stable and reliable.
I use 1.43 which is an awesome radio and designed for australias conditions, fast internet, fast lock on, little switching, good reception.
battery is pretty good unless u use hspda a lot ( eg messenger constant 4 2 hours will suck ur battery quicker than talk time)
i updated to 1.54 but it sucked big time and wnt back to stable fast reliable 1.43 never failed me yet.
my recommendation, try this combination.
hey mate,
I use 1.20.31.10 that was the original that came with my handset, i have tried others but this gives me the best reception, batt power and speed. Im in vic.
pdajas
1.48 working great for me. 54 was chewing up a ridiculous amount of battery life!
Another vote for 1.40.30.00 working well on NextG in Melbourne!
Using 1.43 in Melbourne. No problems at all.
Must admit that I havent tried any others so cant say how well it compares with others.
Thaks guys, I'll give your recommendations a go!
Cheers
I want to try to determine what is the best rom 2.09 Froyo - based for HTC Desire.
In the last week I've tried a large number of ROMs. I've really liked 2 of these:
- Roufianos V6 (It's the one that I'm using at the moment)
- OpenDesire 3.0.4 (I know that the 3.0.5 is out but I haven't tried it yet)
Obviously there are many other excellent rom but I haven't got the time to try them, such as:
- Alex V1.1 official OTA cooked by Paul from MoDaCo (I've not tried it yet but I thing it is good)
- Lambros Custom Rom r3.1 --- I've tried it: in my opinion it's the best. Very fast, stable, no problem, no crashes. The chef always helps you and give you what you ask him! Fantastic! (link hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745447 )
- Pays-ROM
- Others....
Well, I don't know what is better.... can you help me choosing a ROM please?
If you thing that there are better ROMs instead of the ones that I've written, please tell me about them.
Thanks to all.

IMO this comes down to the "SENSE UI",
you wanna have SENSE and all the HTC bells and whistles? LeeDroid 1.8 or Neophyte NextSense 4.0
you don´t give a damn about SENSE (like me)? OpenDesire 3.0.5 is just AWESOME.
Both options are really good but it´s a question of personal preference I think.

has Leedroid gotten rid of the SD card bug now? i found a lot of bugs with 1.7 in fact i would go as far to say it was the worst rom i have tried (and i have flashed nearly all within the last 2 weeks.
i use neophyte nextsense aswell its v good. i haven't used a non-sense rom since the defrost one which was using the nexus froyo (back in june i think).
however from looking at the 'post your screenshots' thread in the themes and apps section i'm tempted to go back to non-sense as some of the roms and mods make it look really cool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665991&page=106
what does everyone think is the coolest / sexiest looking setup?
Neophyte 1.6. You will not go wrong. If you think those other roms are good, you will ejaculate in your pants with a neo Rom. I think that first neophyte Rom comes down to a fluke of nature. His latest Rom nextsense is good and I enjoy playing. But the occasional bug. Still better than anything else I believe.
I prefer modaco official version.
Neophyte 1.6 as said. You will not find a more stable or better ROM imo.
why don't you give a go on my rom....i saw you haven't mentioned it....
the latest r3.1 version is as stable a rom can be and i have 2 versions.....one if you want all the HTC apps and one with HTC Sense but without the apps, just launcher, widgets and main apps (people,dialer,mail, calendar)

What about the battery? How often do you have to charge the phone? In every rom I've tried the battery sucks!
as for the battery i think you can't compare it just right when you flash the rom....myself i do one full charging cycle and then rate a rom's battery life in order to get the full idea....
flash the rom, charge it till 100% (unplug before discharge) and then see how it does

hi lambrospower. I am just downloading your rom and will give it a try mate. Going back to your battery comment, this is a question that i have been thinking about for some time, but never got around to asking anyone, i hope you may know the answer for me? Since i have had my desire (3 months) the only way that i have ever charged it is with USB. Maybe once i have done a full charge with the 240v adaptor, the rest of the time it is plugged into my PC either charging or as a disk drive, my question is, will that make a difference to my overall battery performance? because i havent been charging it with the mains adaptor will my battery be "weaker" than a person that has always used the in-wall charger? I seem to get really bad battery life with most roms that i have tried (and believe me, i have tried a lot!!) yesterday i went out for a few hours, around 3 hours, battery was at 100% when i left, 3 hours later 55%!! now in my eyes that is a hell of a lot of decrease...... This was with NeYophyTeNexTSense rom (but i cant fault NeYo, he is a good chef, hats off to the lad, this is why i think its me thats either doing something wrong (settings) or it is in fact a battery problem??
Hi guys, I really like OpenDesire, but it's stock Google ROM (or based thereon) so it's got no FM Radio functionality. A question to all users of stock ROMs: how do you guys cope with the absence of an FM Radio knowing that hardware-wise your Desire supports it but the software does not have it? As for me personally, I've been tilting back and forth between OpenDesire-like ROMs and SenseUI-like ROMs, and it's still bugs me. On the one hand, I love the stock ROM for its cleanliness and overall looks (without Sense bells & whistles), but that I don't have the FM radio keeps bugging me like hell. Can anyone share their experiences?
What is the best radio for the Telus DHD? Im having battery drainage issues

would like better battery life
I would also like to know the Safe radio options for Telus DHD
I have seen a few dotted around and some that are reccommended to gain the best peformance with specific roms (revolution for example) But i know changing the radio can sometimes be risky.

So far are the DHD radio's have the ability to be rolled back without issue?
Are there any specific radios that seem to brick the canadian version of the DHD?

Hi,
My radio is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and I installed a Stock-rooted Gingerbread ROM.
It came with a radio but I didn't flash it (Mabe I was scared or just wanted to test the ROM first who know...) the fact is since then, my battery life as improved and the radio signal is good enough that I didn't flash it.
(24-32 hours of autonomy with a good use of my device)
Should I think again and flash the new radio anyway ?

Radio (12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M)
I live near Ottawa, but in a lower reception area, and I have been trying radios trying to get a good mix of reception and battery life.
Currently I'm using "Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1" and the corresponding RIL on Leedroid GB rom. It seems ok for now, but if anyone has tried a bunch of radios and can suggest their own best results for us Canadian desire owners, I would be much appreciated!
a fellow telus dhd owner here in edmonton. i'm using the latest radio (check sig) with g ril on cm7 with great results. i was using hm ril's for a bit and the device had very poor performance (calls cutting in and out, slow gps sat lock, wifi/3g sporadic disconnect/reconnect, etc). all that has been remedied by just flashing a g ril instead of a hm ril.
i think it'd be good to remind everyone that matching your radio and ril to your rom type (i.e. sense vs asop) is also important. from what i've read, use g for asop and hm for sense roms. it sure made a difference for me.
Thank you for the good advice. I switched up to the newest radio and ril and they seem the best for me I am still interested to know what others agree having success with here in Canada

I'm a fairly new user, got my Telus DHD (first Android) in the beginning of april, I live in Montreal, and took the entire phone apart within the first week. Tried a whole bunch of roms, then learned the hard way that Sense roms are like beautiful girls in bars at 2 am, they get you excited at first but then it's all disappointment... Lately I've been playing a lot with cyanogen nightlies, and I've been trying to find the best battery life possible.
So far the best I got was CM7.1 RC1 with Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1
That would last me over 35 hours very consistently with heavy use, screen on and lots of data (3G)
I tried pretty much all other radios on the latest nightlies (right now #170) and haven't found anything as good as 26.06.03.24_M2. I am in the process of reflashing that one while on this nightly to see if things will go back to what I had.
When you know your rom (and apps running) are not draining the battery, is the radio/ril the only other variables that affect battery life ? In other words, would the same radio/RIl drain the same regardless of the rom you're using ?
(forgot to mention I flash Alienmind's stuff over that, so I also use LordModUE v6.9.2 kernel and I change the OC to 122min/1.3max and use Brazilianwax (that governor seems so far seems to be the best)
Hi All,
I have a rooted Desire HD with Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. I am running the latest Gingerbread Coredroid ROM on the UK T-Mobile network.
The radio on my phone is Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M.
I have no issues with signal strength, wifi, etc.
Is there any benefit to flashing my radio to the latest recommended one: Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
I have read all the threads an know how to do it, I am just not sure what the benefits are and whether they outweigh the risks.
Thanks
Andrew
If your present radio is working fine without any problems I wouldn't recommend flashing the new radio

+1, just bear in mind if your not radio s-off and it all goes pear shaped you may not be able to downgrade
Thanks for your replies.
Well my curiosity got the better of me and I flashed the radio. I used the method described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
I had a problem at first getting the "adb reboot bootloader" with an error message coming up saying "adb server is out of date. killing...". The answer was to kill adb.exe in task manager. It all worked fine after that.
I will have to wait and see if I notice any difference. I have a full strength signal currently.
My understanding is that the radio firmware manages and controls the wifi, bluetooth, cell radios and other low level hardware functionality.
When someone designs a ROM, it makes sense for them to pick a radio and stick to it unless they have obvious issues, as a different radio version can introduce a wide range of variables into how the phone runs.
So, there may not be anything better or worse with an different radio (although with some there definitely are) but the point is, your experience with the ROM should more closely match that of the designers.
That generally means faster, more efficient, and if you have any bug reports, they'll be taken far more seriously.
I've been running the new radio for a few days now and no problems at all. I honestly can't say I notice any difference in the signal strength, but in collaboration with Coredroid V4 the battery life seems very good.
Weheyyy! Hello to all you lovely helpers
I am very happily rooted, s-off partitioned etc etc and have lovely new Insertcoin ROM!!........but........have another question, I hope someone would be kind enough to answer please, which is:-
My phones battery seems to have become quite poor (was poorish anyway) but now a little worse and am thinking its because of all the lovely Insertoin bits on it. I am wondering, my battery version is 5.11.05.27, and thought if I updated it to the most recent version would there be an improvement??? Also, occasionally experiencing a few dropped calls.....
Any info at all very appreciated.
P.S. If I have incorrectly started a new thread, sorry but I did search and nothing else came up!!!
In my experience, no. Moving to a ROM like LeeDroid can make a massive difference. I personally love AcesMod for the full 'Sense HD' experience but the battery was bad and there were some FC's that I sufferred. Leedroid 3.3.3 doesn't give the full 'HD' experience but it's reliable and has exceptional battery life.

I have discarted your disclaimer and substituted it with my own: BravoS ROCKS, dudes!
Stable signal - means better battery life.
It can't hurt to change your radio to the most recent one to see if this will help out your battery life. I'm sure you already have but also look at your sync frequencies on things like email and weather as they can eat into your battery.
From what I've read, the sense based rom's will always eat a lot battery because there's so many processes going on in them all the time. For best battery life switch to an aosp rom.
