I'm just curious to know what modem do you run on your E4GT? To this date i run EL29, because i get the best DL/UP speed on average.
Been running the fc18 and it seems to work great. Only problems I have experienced are because things with ics are still in beta. I ran el29 up until I recently flashed fc18. I also had great up/dn with el29. Haven't speed tested fc18 yet...

FC18 currently on xplod SE ROM. Works good.
Also, fc18 on the Goodness v2.5. Seems best so far but it varies by phone/location

FC18 modem currently, fracking fantastic gps locks, in fact first time since I've owned that this phone has consistently locked throughout a whole day. In seconds. Every time. 6+ out of 6+ satellites.
Tentative opinion obviously. Tomorrow is a new day. ;-) but it seems like they got something right in this build, on the agps end anyway.
but 4G data seems not as strong as signal as FC15 perhaps. 3G works as expected.
Currently on Calkulins EL29.

EK02 saved my phone.
I was getting tired of GPS issues (among other issues) w/ a few other modems, but the combo of ek02 modem and kernel works wonders on my phone.
The battery life on fb 27's immaculate! Can't stay away now if I could get the speed of el29 I'd be perfect!
Tried all the modems and I think the EL29 works the best for me too.

Flashed fc18 modem last night, so far so good. Hit 1.4mb/s on 3G on my way to work. I came from EG30.

Hmm, which kernel is this again?
FC18 rom/kernel with EL29 modem. FC18 modem was painfully slow so I had to switch back to EL29.

I was hoping to get some feedback babout which people think are best for battery life,signal strength, GPS, etc. I was hooked on EL13 modem then gave EL26 a try and it seemed to improve my 4g a bit. Then I went to EL29 and speed seemed great but battery was meh...however now it seems to be settling in nicely. Also, any thoughts about lockscreen mod and toggle mod using more battery?

EL29/EL29
So far battery life I've not had much of a problem and signal for me atleast has been great. Put EL29 in while I was in Mi over the xmas break and noticed that the signal I got while I was there was actually a little better.
As for the lock/toggle mods After redoing my phone to a new rom I've not reinstalled them and pretty much kept things stock. Didn't really notice any issues with widgetlocker when I was using it though.
I'm using EL26 modem and kernel with unnamed rom. Here is my personal experience with the different kernel/modem combos:
EL13 - best battery life, decent data speeds, least smooth of he three, very stable
EL26 - avg battery life, fastest data speeds, smoother than EL13, avg stability (some lockups, camera sometimes doesn't work, etc)
EL29 - worst battery life, avg data speeds, but most consistent, very stable, GPS sleep issue (this is the only kernel I experienced GPS lock issues with)
Given the battery drain and GPS issues, i'm disappointed that EL29 is going to be he official Ota update. I hope someone tweaks the kernel for better battery life

EL13 on Calkulin's latest 2.8.1.. everything else untouched.
I've tried ek02 modem for a while and EL29 recently. Because I've mostly used 3g, ek02 modem gives me slightly less signal but substantially faster data speeds. EL29 is better signal but slower speeds. My favorite kernel is desperado 1.3 ek02. The test setup I'm running now is stock odex el29, rogue stock el29 kernel and ek02 modem with hotspot mod. The performance of this setup is good so far and battery is holding up well. I've been running this for 24 hours now. I don't have the discipline and the attention span to test every modem ATM. I also 0'd out the multimedia proxies and ports and set the 4g retries to 15 seconds and -110DB receive, which made a huge improvement in that area.
EL13 Modem & Kernal with unNamed rom has been the best setup so far for me. Great battery life and everything works
I think the EL26/29 kernels and modems have poor battery life. EL29 modem gives me best coverage, but the battery life sacrifice is annoying.
Currently I'm running EL26 modem, Desperado kernel, and Calk's 2.8.1 ROM
See there's 2 sets of toggle mods. Gtg's has the 4g toggle and only a,couple of others like flashlight and 2.7 has no CRT. The AIO toggles has more to customize plus the lockscreen mod. Calkulin's 2.7 with Minimal Black with gtg's toggles seemed solid (all EL26) almost as good as my strongsteve all EL13 setup. I am worried that the toggle customization and lockscreen options are taxing my battery but I have zero proof...its just a theory because more functions are running..hmmmm....decisions

I'm on Unnamed Rom, EL29 kernel and EL29 modem, with moderate use today i had a little over 12 hrs and i still had 52% battery.
maybe not the best but way better than some combos i've tried
I will have to concur
i am using EL26 / modem /Kernal on caluk 2.7
average battery 12 hours but fast 3g speed and rom
change to EL13 kernal /modem
17 hours but half the 3g speed and slower rom
so i am sticking with EL26/modem/kernal for now
Stock rooted
for now..

Calk's 2.8.1 EL29 all the way sofar for me has been a great setup. I consider myself a abuser so 10hrs with about 5hrs screen on time. I feel is purty good also strong data.
OH hey SAINT btw. HAPPY B DAY now go get yo party pants on.
EL13 modem has the best data for me. I did speed test with all the modems and EL13 & EL29 were at the top, with EL13 a little faster. EL29 kernel.
I don't Know if I wanna switch from FB21 to FB27 because my 3g speeds on MIJJz ICS blend V1.3 are very good but I heard from QBking77 that the speeds might be better on the FB21.
Well, it depends on whether you want to try it or not. You can always change back if it's not good, how well the modem does depends on your device, and the area you live in.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
3G speeds mostly depend on your modem and somewhat the kernel, not so much the rom. I've been using FB27 since it came out and it's definitely more stable then FB21, and GPS works for me on FB27, it didn't work on FB21 (may not work on every device)
thanks I just installed the FB27 modem before I got to school ill try it out
So I'm asking for sort of a review of smoothness and speed of the new fd roms compared to fc18 or fc22. Thanks for your input?

Hold off until fd05, which has already been leaked but not leaked widespread yet.

Exactly why I said hold off. There hasn't been a noticeable improvement since the mid fc15 builds.

I had some problems with FD02 but it may have been applications. Some applications would freeze the phone or sometime just bringing up messages would lock the phone up. I would just have to wait for lock screen, then unlock and see what crashed. The older versions seem slightly more stable in my experience.
If you are working fine, stable with FC22 there's no reason to be flash crazy. Right now they all have their own issues that seem to be a bit different for everyone.
Wait until a Beta finally shows up, or you hear a lot of rave about a certain new leak and try then.. but right now not 'much' is changing from one leak to another.
huge difference the fd05 is the smoothest release yet
definitely flash
I normally don't upgrade til at least three builds newer are out if that makes sense. Unless there is a huge improvement. I am on FD02 and will most likely stay on it until FD10 is released, if it is released. If you are on a setup right now and its working for you. Hang tight. Cause as soon as you flash FD02/05 then FD10 will be out. Just my thoughts on it.
Are you guys talking about Modem or Kernel?
I have been running the FD10 Modem and Kernel on a FD02 build for the last few days and honestly it seems silky smooth for me. No scripts or undervolting at this point and so far I am getting good battery life out of it too.
I'm on calkulin's E4GT2 v.1.4. (FD02). The only bugs I've seen are that some apps aren't compatible, and the sound notification issue. It doesn't support boot animations and i wouldn't chance flashing any themes. It does support different launchers like go launcher so you can theme it that way. Other than that it is very smooth and solid with EVERYTHING else working including hotspot. Good battery life and no over heating. Came from blazer 4.1 which is awesome and very customizable but caused some battery issues. Although there is a stick FD10 posted in the Dev section, there aren't any custom Roms running on FD10. So I'm gonna stick with Calkulins fdo2 until i see something better. I have tried the goodness and its also good but only 4g hotspot. I need 3g so it was a no.go. Hope this was helpful and as far as SOLID ROMS GO Calkulins are the beast! Thanks calk for all you do. Always go with him first. Sent from my E4GTouch myself oh baby i love this phone

im on aokp with fd02 kernel and modem, best battery life i have ever seen on my device, also the smoothest ive seen, but its the only 4.0.4 i have ran. The fd02 modem doesnt seem all that great for me though, having more problems in low coverage areas than before. as in it didnt work where it used to kinda barely work.
FC24 modem + 4.1 blazer ROM = perfection.

I will second that. I was using fd05 with decent results but the battery life suffered. Atleast for me fc24 was great signal and great battery too.

I liked EK02 & EL13 alot. I might go back to EK02. Running FD10 now, its doing ok.
FD05 seems to be the best ive ever tried. Consistent and quick gps locks . Decent 3G speeds and wifi strength. But im in Upstate NY , lol.
I'm using FD05 on GB, no hitches, in NOVA.
Another vote for FD05 for me too here in southern NJ. Consistently quick GPS locks compared to most other modems for me

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
