What ROM/Kernel/Modem are you using?

I think it'd just be nice for everyone to just list what ROM, kernel and modem they are using. I always look through the threads and read that to get ideas of what will work. I know opinions, usage and phones vary, but it's still nice to see. There are so many options to choose from. Opinions are welcome here!
Can't remember which ROM? Boots with ACS screen
Vision Kernel 1.1
EH17 modem

Removed.......

Where at? I haven't seen a thread that people list all 3. Besides, with all the newer ones since, maybe getting updated answers are better since newer ones have been released since. Do you know the link to the other thread?

Brb with a link....
Ehhh nevermind.....
Im on my [EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.0 , chris41g's EH06 plus kernel, and EH17 modem......

I'm on SRF 1.2 using Genocide kernel 2.0 and EH17 modem. Not to mention I used the new V6 supercharger script . My phone is pretty awesome right now

Umm let's see:

Well, what I run is in my sig and I absolutley have zero problems in the way I have set my phone up and how I use it.
I think maybe it is because I use a stock odexed rom and the modem that came with it - it may not be as fast as other roms, but it seems all custom roms are either are missing a software app that I need or have some glitch like BT or GPS not working etc.
So in the end, I may not have the latest and fastest, but I have stable with everything working phone - with that being said I did apply all the fix's that needed fixing, things like the "call log", TWS, etc. problems, but that is about it.

Wow, uuh...SRF 1.2, Urban Regen, and ERA ReVolt pretty much equally. They're all great. Kernel: ReVolt, Genocide 1.1 IAP and 2.0 and 2 that are still in the test phase. EC05 modem...love it. SetCPU 1400/100 On Demand no undervolt. No freezes, no soft reboots, no RAM leaks. Fast and stable...all 3. My setups are all geared toward performance and stability. Not the most battery friendly but I keep an extra stock battery with me.

[Q] EH17 or EI22?

So based on current releases, are people seeing better stability in the EI22 over EH17? Or are the current EI22 releases still sketch?

EI22 is working great.

Every problem in EH17 reboots while ending call some volume issues for me and everything else, seems to be gone in EI22. Plus it feels good to be official

Once we had a new kernel from released source EH17 was perfect for me. I have nanded back to EH17 twice already...mostly because I miss all the mods. Don't see that much difference after that.....now before the kernel source release...fahgeddaboudit!

Not running officially on either, but have coworkers running official (EI22) and it's running better.

EH17 was a disaster for me as far as service goes. I had a lot of time without signal. Even the EH17 modem on EF02, or EC05 ROMs were issues for me.
EI22 has been smooth for me so far after the GPS fix. I tried ICS, but switched to this one which is mostly stock with working GPS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339579

Scrolling choppiness issue found! Kernel Devs READ!

Hi all,
I have been really upset with the choppy scrolling performance on our phone. It is a bug Supercurio found immediately upon using our phone and one sadly no dev has fully fixed yet.
Well, good news. I've been testing a ton of different ROMs and kernels and I have found that the Skyrocket kernels are PERFECTLY smooth in scrolling. Why? I do not know.
I tested Da_G's CM7 kernel with my T-mobile SGS2 and it worked. Now, not only did it work but it works perfectly. Everything works including data (4G), calls, etc. There is only 1 bug and that is because it is a Skyrocket kernel---Automatic orientation (if you turn it on) is exactly 90 degrees off. Easy fix though I think.
Other tested ROMS and Kernels:
Kernels:
Bullet (all versions)---very choppy but amazing on battery
Synergy (all versions)---very choppy but also really good on battery
Faux123's kernels---Newest version of Faux's kernel incorporates Skyrocket drivers and FIXES the 2D choppiness. Currently it is the only T989 kernel to be fully smooth
Mr.X CM7's kernel---choppy but amazing battery and 2D Quadrant scores (I got 760s with it)
Da_G's Skyrocket CM7 kernel---BUTTER smooth, everything except Auto-rotation works despite being a Skyrocket kernel
ROMS:
Stock 2.3.5---VERY choppy
Stock 2.3.6---Slightly less choppy but still pretty choppy
Juggernaut 4.0, 3.7, 3.5---ALL pretty choppy, 4.0 is likely the best since its based on 2.3.6
Beastmod 4.0, 4.2---ALL pretty choppy
Domination 2.0---EXTREMELY choppy...I don't know why even since it's 2.3.6 but my testing proved it was one of the worst in scrolling choppiness
CM7 by slayher (for T-Mo SGS2)--Butter at times and choppy at others.
CM7 for Skyrocket (Alpha 4)---Choppy if T989 kernel is used, BUTTER if Skyrocket kernel (Da_G's kernel) is used.
I believe ROMS have little effect on the choppiness. They do contribute a tiny amount but I do believe the kernels are what dictate whether scrolling is smooth or not.
Moral of the story, T-mo SGS2 Kernel devs, please either build from the source for Skyrocket or see what that kernel has that is different from ours because it is MUCH MUCH SMOOTHER than any of our kernels.

Cause us skyrockets users are raw haha but ill try and see how to fix your guys rotation problem. Busy trying to build a new cm7 miui and AOSP with members for the skyrocket

If you could port Da_G's kernel by incorporating a 90-degree Auto-rotation fix, it would be bomb. Everything else works and it is sooo smooth.

Would you mind linking to the exact kernel you used? I never use auto-rotate & I'm dying to get rid of this choppiness.

Certainly. Make sure you are running CM7 though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398512
Use the AT&T CM7 v4 version. Get into Clockwork, flash, and reboot. It doesn't have a boot logo, don't be alarmed.

I certainly am Which version did you use though, AT&T or Rogers?

AT&T like I said in my post above.

Ah... derp, I'm special. Thanks.

Hello fellow Colorado-an!
Just to clarify- the moral of your post is: using the Skyrocket's CM7 ROM & Da_G's Skyrocket kernel on the T989 you have 0 choppiness?
I'm just unsure of which ROM you're using (ours or Skyrocket's)
Thanks.

Correct. Use the Skyrocket CM7 or ours (doesn't matter but ours has more bugs. The Skyrocket CM7 with that kernel has NO bugs if you keep the GPS on).

Yep, true, somehow, GPS on our kernel keeps audio working and no bugs, dunno how, but don't ask me.
Also, the orientation thing is because our accelerometer is flipped upside down, that's why it flipped differently for you.
I'll ask Da_G if he can revert the fix he did in the kernel, then upload a version for you guys, since our kernels seem to work better for you.
Also, if someone doesn't mind, flash a T-Mo ROM, then a Skyrocket kernel (don't worry, I've flashed T-Mo SGS II kernels before, only thing that breaks is the rotation), and see if that fixes any 2D lag you have.

Wait- we can flash the skyrocket version of cm7? Like without modifying it of anything?

Hmm glad this ROM & kernel combo is working for you!
I myself have used several of the roms and kernels you mentioned also and have found that the stock rooted Telus T989D ROM by Mr X + the synergy kernel are not only the fastest imo, but I get 0 choppiness and almost 2 days of battery life on normal to heavy usage.

Ok sorry for my noobishness, I had no idea..don't really use cm7. I just flashed dagkernal .42 on gingersnap 0.3. Its amazingly smooth but I had to turn off auto rotation because its working backwards. Which is a kernel with good battery life and is smooth on skyrocket?

I think all the Skyrocket kernels are going to result in rotation issues. I flashed a Skyrocket rom and one of our kernels and it works fine.

I called in sick for work today this shows up.. should have a fun day lol

Just tried the dag 4.2 rogers kernel with juggernaut 4.1 and I can really notice a difference.. not that benchmark's matter, but I'm got 7154 on AnTuTu on the first try clocked at 1.78 and getting 4600+ on quadrant at the same clock lol
Let's see how the battery is on this tho. Jug 3.7 + bullet 2.9 was giving me amazinggg battery life but last night i went to sleep with it being 45% and woke up with 5% lol maybe the governor changed to performance or something idk
EDIT - After around 20 mins of use, I can confidently say that my phone is now BUUTTTEEERYYYY smooth I used to get lag/stutter during screen transitions and everything, now I'm using the Sphere effect on Go Launcher (one of the ones that usually cause the most stutter) and it couldn't be any more buttery smooth lol
Thanks for finding this The only issue is the auto-rotation but once that's fixed, this will be amazing lol

[Q] Odd 3G issues

Lately I've been getting very odd issues with my Epic 4G. Regardless if it says 3G or 1X as my signal, I'm getting only 1X speeds. At times, my signal strength changes as well, one minute showing full signal, the next it's at 0, then back to normal. The bars also go down if data is actively being used, or I'm on a call. It's gotten worse in the past two weeks.
I'm on a custom ROM, the ACS ICS rom, PRL is up to date and Radio is the one designed for the ROM.

Wow acs ics is SOOOOO OLD update your rom and you should be fine.

Are there any good ICS themed ROMs running now? Heck, is there a functional 4.0 ROM for Epic 4G yet? I'd like to keep the blue theme, but I need my data back (not to mention a gps fix might be nice)

Yup Cm9 4.0.4... or aokp b31 also 4.0.4. =] I run aokp because it has more features but either are good roms.
Man you've been gone a long time if you didn't know we have cm9(android 4.0)

Last time I was here, ACS ICS 5.5 was 'new'.
I was trying to avoid CM9 since I'd heard CM7 wasn't very stable and had a lot of unneeded mods. I'm looking for something fairly similar to stock, bloat removed, custom bootscreens and voodoo sound, and of course stable.
Am I able to flash CM9 directly from Clockwork Mod? Does it need a newer radio than EI22?

Modems are not connected in anyway to clockwork mod or the rom. Just flash cm9 and download the gapps and flash those as well. Cm7 was unstable before mtd partitioning came around now its super stable. Must be if we have official cm9. You've been gone too long bro keep up with development. Otherwise you'll end up with an EOL phone.

I just remember ACS ICS said it worked best on EI22, but now I see a bunch of newer modems, so I wasn't sure if there is one that works best with CM9.
I'll see about making the jump to CM9, for now my battery is low, so I'm going to charge and give it a shot in the morning (hopefully I don't softbrick my phone again...)

Lol you shouldn't. But be aware of the fact that during installationg it puts you on mtd partitioning. This will reboot the recovery don't panic just let it do its thing and it will boot. Then go back into recovery and flash the gapps and your good to go .
With odining a new modem make sure you have a good cable and not the stock one. If you end up with it getting stuck or failing replace that cable/try another usb port and flash the modem again and you should be fine.
Also modems aren't dependent of the rom... they work the best according to location... but usually the newest is the best.

Flash back to stock Gingerbread (EL29) and try it for a few days and if battery life increases restore data, sms, apps, etc
If not: I recommend Flashing Latest Ice cream sandwich FI25 which has great battery life. Average 15hours a day, internet, twitter, text, call usage!

If you want to stay with gingerbread try to figure if something is running in the background, an intrusive app or widget , check your sleep cycle, try switching your kernel to el 29. I'm running same build on my epic since May, after trying several ics builds, I finally settled into this Rom with Overstews theme and have not had any issues (I'm running the el29 kernel also) I average 18 to 20 plus hrs before charge.
