I've been looking for the answer to this question, but I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone know the reason WHY there are slower data speeds on non-stock based ROMs?
Laugh at me if it's a stupid question, but I'd still like to know...
Thanks!!!

Actually, I'd like an answer to this. Even though I've been reading the CM10 thread from the beginning, I've missed some things.
I'm glad the OP asked this in the Q&A forum instead of clogging the original thread. Thanks for being a **** to him, though.

Even tho I been following alone with cm10 development and what not, no one has give us a straight answer, my best bet would be the reason is that cm10 is only working on hspa, and those that are on a 42mbps don't get their speeds like on TW, it only makes me thing that because the galaxy nexus does the same and is build from Google like that,when you run cm10 you only see H but when you run TW customs run and have H instead 4G, you see H+ while using it,I'm not sure if this is correct but that would be my best bet

Do you think that it's something that they're working on; something we can expect to see eventually? Or do you think that we'll always only have 3g speeds with a CM based build?
Thanks!!

I am on cm10 and still get 20mbps down at the same spot the factory ROM was so I didn't think there was an issue.

I have no idea we will have to wait for someone wiser to explain if that's the reason or not, Tmobile has hspa, hspa 21mbps and hspa+ 42mbps, I think cm10 works with 21mbps but not 42mbps, I haven't seen anyone go over 20mbps, I have gotten up to 14mbps tho, on stock I have an speed test for 26mbps

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
There are a few build.prop edits floating around that are 'supposed' to improve data speeds. Has anyone had success with them?
I tried a couple and got absolutely no where.

Interesting...
Are you running the clean nightlies or a modded build?
I'm on the latest AOKP from WhitehawkX and I'm getting 9-11mb down. Better but I was getting 17-20 stock roms.

I've seen this asked in a few different threads now and some are saying that the CM devs are not planning on directly addressing this problem until they have a stable build worked out. Of course I can't say how true this is but I've seen it a few times now.

I rooted my tmobile S3 today and it worked fine. Later I installed a cyanogen nightly sang noticed it was only getting 3g, so I did a restore to the stock rooted firmware through ROM manger. With that I got just bars, no indication of 4g or 3g. The phone wouldnt go to the internet, it said no connection available. I had to restore back to cyangen to get the phone just to work... but regardless of which settings I chose the phone is stuck in 3g. What is the fix? I'm going crazy here

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
3G on cm is the same as 4G on tmo stock rom.
Try checking your apn settings on the stock rom since I think your imei is fine, without it you wouldn't have gotten 3G at all, even on cm.

Wait, are you just looking at the icon without it doing anything. Many aftermarket ROMs will show 3G when the phone is doing nothing. It will show 4G or H when you make it work.

It is not an LOL deal, if you have no clue that means you didn't bother reading anything about flashing a rom IMEI is mentioned all over, IMO you deserve no help what so ever since you think LOL is a proper response to not reading how to do the job the right way, enjoy your slow data speeds maybe if you learn to read it will work again

there are threads all over this forum that could have prevented his problem he chose to ignore them ignore the stickies then come post asking for help for a problem that was caused by pure laziness
Ok so I have a few questions if you guys would allow me to pick your brains.
I have installed cm9.1 on the galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) using clock work recovery. The phone is rooted using superSU. Pretty standard as far as it goes here. However:
<s>1) I have no wifi calling option and its running android 4.0.4 (ICS). Is this normal for this rom or do I need a different kernal or modem/radio to make this work? Because stock has this feature and its really important to keep message/calling costs down and get service in dead zones.</s>
2) I cannot get 4G data. Only "H" and 3G. I got Edge/2G/3G/4G with stock. Is this normal or do I need to do something else to get this to work?
3) What are good custom kernals to use for this phone because I looked on the sticky and there are only three listed and some are discontinued. Also what are the major advantages of a custom kernal over samsungs stock? I.E. What does it add/modify?
4) Do custom radios change signals your phone can pick up? What exactly does changing the radio do?
THANKS!
~NEW!~
1)Since no wifi calling is a deal breaker for me I'm going to try a new rom, so! I'm looking at darkside and akop. Any opinions on these roms or experiences you guys have had with these good or bad?
2) CWM vs TWRP ~ GO!
Just trying to get better informed. Thanks everyone! :highfive:
Also if there are guides I missed that explain these things I'm sorry just link me to them if you would be so kind. Thanks!

This and stick with stock kernels for now. Different radios work better in different areas, so just try until you find the best one for you.

Haha yea after I got the answer I felt dumb I just never saw the little icon use "H" to explain a radio type and didn't think about that related to 4G as standing for hspa. Also I learned hspa exists using WCDMA. Cool. :victory:
The "H" means HSPA+ which is 4g.
Only Touchwiz ROMs have Wifi Calling (CM9 is AOSP Based)
The best kernel to use is the Darkside Venom Kernel for CM9 AOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775075
As far as radios go they can change the amount of signal. Certain radios make signal better in different areas. I PREFER THE GALAXY NOTE RADIO FOR Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
HOPE THIS HELPED!
Darkside, only tw roms have wifi calling, aosp roms like cm9,10 and aokp dont.

Is there a kernal i can flash with the stock rom that would give me iptables/netfilter?
Seems like the Att version already has a clean ROM, and touch recovery.
Wondering why the sprint versions a little behind
Maybe we need to step up if no one else will. I wish I knew what I was doing more... I am doing the newbie guide in my spare time.. who knows, in another ten years we might have a rom.

I've got the Canadian version, and other than bloat apps and some carrier settings are they not the same phones for the most part? I might be talking out of my ass here, but should the devs not have too much trouble porting a custom Rom from one variant to the others.
Also, it really hasn't even been two weeks since the phone hit the market and it is already unlocked. I am making the assumption that all the variants will be getting some custom Rom love pretty soon. I'm sure it takes a bit of time.

There has been a 4.1.2 SR touchwiz rom out for almost a month and still the rom ports here don't have signal bars.
Is it really that hard to make the signal bars work?
So what's the story with the no signal bars?

The story is that these builds were not coded with any if our radios in mind so they don't get the signal status from them right. We are lucky our radios even work on them in the first place.

Its because of the radios. The same things happen if sr users don't use the 2 new radios I saw some posts in their threads complaining. If it matters that much flash ucll3 in the sr forum but you will only run edge no 4g pick your poison

Yea on my phone ASOP speeds are like like .20mbps on 4g ( not kidding), while on TW its atleast 2mbps on 4g. No real way to fix it that I found after alot of searching. But I heard it depends on your phone, some people say they get same speeds on TW and ASOP. My brother has Dirty Unicorn on his phone and has the same speed that I have on Project X. We are just unlucky
I ended up flashing fi03 and its doing awesome now I'll post a speed test soon thanks for the reply

You are always going to have better data speeds on tw than on aosp...When Im on tw I run the stock kernel that matches up with the rom and modem Im running..So I get my data back to what it was when I was stock...But you don't have the kernel option on aosp..I have seen many people say this modem works and that ones better, but really you just have to find which one works best for you're area...FL24 works best for me..but Im in chicago,so the towers are updated more often..
