[Q] RADIO for T-Mobile - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Can anyone tell which is the best radio for T-Mobile USA?

Try all 3 of the latest radios in this thread. Different people have different results, there is "no" best radios, only radios that are better or worse performing based on your location, carrier frequency and other factors.

I have tried the latest one n its only giving me edge

[Q] Need help with choosing the right radio for location

i am currently in upstate New York and i have no reception and was wondering if there is a particular radio that would be ideal for me to use while i am out here i am running Darkside Venom v7 any assistance would greatly be appreciated
You are just gonna have to try different radios to see what works. No one can say that there is a good radio for you. Only you

Wifi Question?

My Galaxy Nexus has very weak wifi signals even though I'm about 20ft away from my router. This has happened since i got the phone and flashed a rom. People say that flashing a new radio helps? Anyone? Thank you in advance.

I think I'm correct in saying you need to download and flash the XXLF1 radio if you don't have it as thats the latest, I'm presuming you're using a GSM Nexus?
What is your current baseband/radio?

I've heard though that wi-fi is not on the baseband but on the kernel instead, so that won't help.
I tried a couple of different basebands (UGLC1, UGLA4, XXLF1) and none of them helped the wifi reception. Going back to ICS 4.0.4 did.
The thing is that I'm already on ics with akosp and my wifi reception is pretty terrible. I also am using Franco nightlies #196 with 384 gpu

Which radio for AOKP Milestone 6?

Hey everyone so I'm using the AOKP Milestone 6 ROM and upon doing the speed test, I'm getting ~ 600 kbps. I was wondering which radio is recommended by the majority of people here for this particular ROM? Thanks!
Test them all out, it depends on your location so nobody can tell you which ones best

Gotcha. Is there a link to all the radios currently available? Sorry I'm just new to this forum and modding my phone with custom ROMs so forgive me.
Well here's one and this is the blaze radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793001
Just flash in recovery
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksidetools/files/ Here are two more radios, the only one you can download are the LC8 one and the LE1. Make sure it says Tmo and don't flash other ones.

Apparently the Blaze radio is a bit iffy for those who have AOKP m6. In my own case, I flashed it and I got great signal at my work, it's just that the data wasn't working at all so I quickly switched back to the original (UVLE1 / The modded one with no RIL's). If you're interested, you can find the modded UVLE1 in Darkside's ' .evolution [rom] ' thread in the 'Android Development' forum.
I've had the best luck with the Tellus radio.

Some questions!

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.

The radio performance on different ROMs shouldn't differ. Just test the radios and see which one works well in your area.
