Best radio? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Can we flash ics skyrocket roms?

Seems to me the development in the skyrocket forum is ahead of ours. Can we flash skyrocket ics rooms without modification from the skyrocket forum or do we have to wait until the t989 devs hack it to work. Also what must be modified to get the skyrocket ics roms to boot?

All of your questions can be answered in the development thread.
Edit: why are you asking here? According to your sig you've already got a sky rocket...Why not head to the appropriate forum?

His signature probably says he had a skyrocket because he is running one of the new leaks ported to the T989.

Before the latest leak, I flashed SkyICS without a problem. Just had to flash the autorotate hotfix and a T-Mobile radio.

Not to be too off topic but this was the ROM I've been curious about trying. Hows the battery life? Many people say its awesome, is it better than any ICS ROM we have now?

Didn't you just say you already flashed a Skyrocket ROM? What are you even asking? It sounds like you are answering yourself.

I couldn't report on the battery life, I had the caller hearing themselves echo loudly so I went back to cm7. Which is badass btw.

Jedi X - suggest UVLC8

FYI and I realize this is area specific.
My buddy and I live in two different states UT and CA and both get the best & consistent speeds with the UVLC8 radio... without the timeout periods that although are temporary are an annoyance we were both experiencing on this rom with the other applicable radios.
Highly recc that you give it a try with Vers X and compare speed & consistency, feedback appreciated.

^^^what he said... it's the seventh one down, but be aware that the mirror didn't work the main link did for me.
Thanks for the tip. Will be checking it out soon!!
Ive used this on every ICS ROM...until I tried the uvlg3 modem. Its not necessarily faster, but its more consistant.
For me.

Best radio..

I am on SlimBean Unofficial ROM. I live in New York. I was wondering what is the best RADIO for me to flash. Thank You.

Considering how big New York is, their might not be a clear answer. Best thing is to flash them one by one, and find out for yourself.
Since am also in NYC of them all that I've tested to be so called the "best" is the note radio uvlg3 then the newest uvlh5 blaze radio..

Sit on your couch. Download a few radios, get the signal strength app, flash a radio, check your dBm and download speeds.
This sort of thing varies for everyone and there is never a clear cut answer.

The radio included WILL work, you just won't get HSPA+. You'll only get EDGE.

No, that doesnt seem to be the case. I have not flashed a different radio and I am at full data speeds.
