I put eg22 not sure if this is correct or not any help is appreciated

It actually really depends on your location and phone. everyone gets different results with each modem. Me personally I use EC05 on any ROM. even EG22.
Just test each one til u see which is best?
Some one correct me if I am wrong but modems are not ROM dependent. I am running EE03 I think on Bonsai 4.1.3 I am thinking of going back to stock modem to try for better battery life.

You are correct Taz, modems are not ROM dependent. However for the EG22 leak ROMs I have found the EG22 modem works the best. Just about any modem on Froyo seems to work well. Some have reported more bars with certain modems but I always found I could have 1 bar then hold my phone a different way and get 3 in the same spot. No modem worked well in my house so I got an Airave.
To the OP...whatever works best for you since you are on froyo.
Thanks gentleman

Im getting my epic tomorrow and i need help, which roms do you guys think are the best for the epic 4g touch? or kernels or any other mods please leave your suggestions and opinions.
While there has been progress in the new ek02 rom's, including the android 2.3.6 update, I would suggest phantomhackers blazer rom, its fast and stable and very good on battery. Good start while the new 2.3.6 rom's get updated

Just got mine on tuesday, and have lots to read up on. I am also coming from an Evo. This new stuff is way different from htc, any help or links would be greatly appericated. Thank in advance
I just got my e4gt last week and am running caulkins rom and its been really great. Everything working. Excellent battery life. Ics themes developed for it. I love it. Just my two cents though.

I really like Calkulin's ROM. It's close to stock, which to me is an advantage, but includes some sensible additions. The latest version is based on the most recent leaked update and includes a modified kernal with a ClockWorkMod-based recovery.
I'd recommend new users check out qbking77's videos in this thread. They were a great help to me when getting started.
Enjoy your new phones!

Just out of curiosity have any custom roms been able to fix the android os bug that drains battery?

The "AOS bug" is not ROM related. Read the forums here for an answer to what it is and how to "fix" it.
As far as the "best" ROM it's all subjective but I would go for Calk's 2.0. The man knows what he is doing.
I have always used stock kernel and stock rooted ROM for this phone. This had been the best user experience I have had in an Android. I am so happy with battery life I don't want to change.
Hey guys I was wondering what do the modems do for our phones?..
And please don't give me heat about using search or using google because I did both, just trying to get a general answer!! Thanks in advance

modem = radio
Modems are in charge of how your GPS, 4g, 3g and singles run. newer modems can show overall improvement on signal performance. but some are better than others depending on your phone. but normally newer modems run smoother then past modems.
The reason saying why some are better than others depending on your phone is because some modems react differently with this phone.
Lets say that we both put the new FC07 modem on our phones. you might experience better performance than I do. yet if I install the FC06 modem I might get better performance than the FC07 modem.
I have flashed a lot of Rom's, Kernels, and Modems and have always seen an improvement with the newer modems.
Hope this helped
I'm using an ics rom (cm9) to be exact and want to use FC07 modem.. my question is will I have to switch the modem if I decide to use a gingerbread rom again?.. will the modem screw with the signal? Thanks for the fast response

Having a modem that is ICS specific doesn't really matter when going back to Gingerbread. a kernel on the other hand from my experience.. I always got a hangup.. you should be fine when you are on a gingerbread Rom with a ICS modem

You can use any modem with whatever version of android you're running. I am on a GB version, running newest FC07 leak modem, works brilliant. (even though it seems that FC05 worked a bit better....) modems are completely independent of the version of android you're running.
Kernels are android version specific. GB kernels for GB roms, ICS kerns for ICS roms, they do not mix. unless you like bricks.
Thanks bro

Good basic adb usage there.
This weekend I took the plunge and installed CM9 on my E4GT. Like most people in the dev thread I was having an issue where my phone would lose 3G Data after long periods of sleep.
After looking through several CM9 forums, I discovered that if I flashed the older EL29 Modem the problem would disappear. Thus far the forums are correct, but I'm wondering if it's going to matter in the long run that my phone is using the FE16 Kernel with an EL29 modem. It seems to work fine now, but this is the first time I've had those two not match.
Should I be worried, or do Modems and Kernels not have to match?
Nope they don't have to match, its fine. Heck some people are still using the EK02 modem on ICS builds.

True. I calls from was using fd26 kernel and I would flash the modem every time a new one leaked out. Never ran into an issue

Was looking for some pointers on a STABLE ROM
Stability is the number one item of importance, rather than ICS or GB, but ICS is preferred for the camera options..
Currently the ET4G is at the stock OTA ICS build, but it is not even activated at this point.
My Step Daughter is using my EVO 4G, and as I upgraded my GF to the SGS3, I want to drop the EVO and move her to the ET4G.
No real rush, I told her it would be a week or two, I am just looking for a build that is super stable, as I wont get much chance to update and/or modify the build once I get it fully setup and give it to her.
Think I am best off using the rooted version of the Stock ICS FF18 ROM, with a modded kernel and just leaving it at that point?
Sadly, I have spent far to much time in the Epic section for my phone, and haven't had a chance to sort through all the builds here.
No need for extra themes, or fancy mods, just basic ICS will suffice, she couldn't tell the difference anyways.
I tried both Blazer and Calk's GB ROM, but both had stability issues here and there, and I was hoping for some tips to use with a new ICS build, now that the OTA is out.
Any advice for better stability than:
Stock ICS build
CWM recovery
Modded Kernel (AGAT's ?)
and just let it go at that?
Well for ICS I'm running M'ICS 1.1 its very stable. Also using agat 0.2.1 dirty kernel (safe) for extra speed and battery life. As for GB, calkulin or blazer roms are very stable as well. I got good battery life on both. Just make sure you read up and ask questions if you not sure. Happy flashing.

Me personally I'm using the deodexed stock rooted ROM with Agat's safe kernel & Phaker's placebo script, & it's been super smooth for me so far

Thanks for the responses..
I have been leaning towards rooted stock ICS with AGAT's kernel, but figured I would see what flash-a-holics would advise

I love Flashahol! I'm running blazer ics, just came from calkulins 1.6 about a month ago. Both are solid.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
With the issues surrounding ICS, think I am gonna go with a GB ROM..
Torn between Blazer and Calk's... sigh... lol...
I personally liked blazer more that calkulins. But that's just me. Its all up to you. Plus I flashed mysterious beast theme for it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I'm gonna stay away from themes and tweaks, unless I find I got no choice...
Been a big fan of Calk's for a long time, and tried both before my GF got her SGS3, just seemed to have a few more issues with Blazer, but most was with Facebook, and I feel it may have been a FB app issue, and I also think I am gonna stay with the EL29 modem, as the newer ones didnt seem to work as well.
I may just keep both on the internal SD, and create a nand backup of both one I get the the phone fully setup, and let her try both for a week or two and see what works best for her in the Baltimore area.
Yeah the EL29 modern works good for me in the dmv area.. I also been having success with ff18 in dc
