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.

You may need to delete nfc.apk and other nfc and wallet related apks and libs and permissions files in etc/permissions. Not sure about phone.apk. maybe copy from cm.

So don't copy the phone.apk and settings from the ns4g just stick with cm10 ones,right

You should be able to. I don't believe much changed, unlike 4.0.3 vs 4.0.4.

The baked caught my eye when I was looking for a rom to put on my brothers fassy other than the stock asop like gummy and the others that is for the fassy

Do you have signal? Perhaps, it is searching for some files which aren't there, like EpicRIL.

No service on phone right now.[wife won't let me try it on hers she like cm9.1] running wifi had to put sprint on hold right now but with normal cm10 still works fine. Only when I flash the port I made I get the phone thing... this is my first attempt so I think I'm missing something I used cm10 stable and baked build 6 from ns4g and tried the fassy one also.

Her phone I flashed over to Cricket mine I have not activated yet. But i still play with it i tried both modems fc09 and the ns4g modem if it would get rid of the message(process com.android.phone has stopped) it boots but i think im missing something i can send you the file if you want i dont have a host site. So i would have to email. I followed the port guides from here on xda(great help from this site Great DEV).I have done one from the miui fassy to the epic with no fail just to see if i could do it. But i think the 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 might be the problem or I'm missing something

i have ported black beans and it"s boots
BUT
i can't use HW keyboard and there is round thing for the touch

Would you mind sharing your miui:sly:

That is a framework/android.policy.jar issue. If you send me it, I can fix it. Its just changing some 1s and 0s about orientation.

[Q] JB + Data Issues?

All,
I've just recently put 4.1.2 ParanoidAndroid on my E4GT, and no matter which JB modem I use, I seem to have data problems when connecting to a tower. Local wi-fi, no problem, but on a tower, things don't seem to be working well. I've tried ALL JB modems that I can find.
Anyone know what's causing this?

You need to use an ics or gb era modem with that, I do believe.

Yes grab the latest ics modem and flash will fix your issue.:beer:

Thanks to all who responded. I'll do that.

I know the fix has already been said, but might I add, and for my own clarifications:
The only ROM I can think of that is compatible with a JB modem is Jellyverse is it not? I know that that is the only one I have ever used one on so...

I9505 roms question. (before flashing it)

So I know wifi calling will be out of the i9505 rom but does that mean I can't send text messages over wifi? I know on stock rom you can with the stock messenger. Also, will I lose 4G LTE? And what other things are taken out?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

As far as I know, you also can't send messages over WiFi, but I might be wrong on that aspect since I don't actually use that feature. 4G LTE will be perfectly fine as long as you don't accidentally flash a modem as well.

Not on i9505 ROMs there isn't.
On the WiFi texting, I can't think of any ROMs that allow you to send texts from your actual phone number, but Google Voice allows you to send SMS messages using your GV number over WiFi. As far as I've noticed though, it's limited to SMS; no MMS functions.

Right... I completely disregarded you as being the op :cyclops: My bad lol, but seriously though, I would say that the WiFi messaging is tied to T-Mobile's WiFi calling. There is plenty of room for me to be wrong, but I base my judgement on that because I can't send SMS/MMS over WiFi on i9505 ROMs. I also don't have T-Mobile service either, but don't see how that would matter when using another model's ROM.
As far as LTE, it should work considering you use the correct APN settings.

I rooted using Framaroot and flashed Garwynn's+ agats recovery using mobile odin.

Fellow Virgin Mobile user here
As for my rom i'm still on stock TouchWiz although i do have Agat's Recovery installed. I'm looking around and trying to compare which ROM to flash, and so far i'm leaning towards ReVolt, or i might try and give the official CM 10.1 nightlies a go

I tried that one a few months ago and had GPS issues.
So far for me the most reliable custom ROM has been Dastin's WFTN and the official CM10.1 releases, though YMMV.
Even then I wound up flashing back to stock TouchWiz because of data speeds being faster on TouchWiz/GB28 than on any CM10/ICS or Gingerbread modem I tried.
Plus there were graphics corruption issues with GPS Test+ on every custom ROM I tried.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that it has to do with Mali driver issues, but I'm really not certain why.
As far as Virgin Mobile goes, I've been with them for 4 years come January and I'm not going to make it 5.
Locally, Sprint's network is crap and now that I have a real smartphone instead of a glorified music player like the Intercept, the connection problems are too glaring to overlook.
Come next January I'll probably have a used E4GT for sale cheap. :laugh:

I'm using the EG30 modem with Dirty Unicorns and my data speeds are a little better then when I was on GB28.

The speeds that I get from speedtest on non-JB modems are very close to the GB28 modem, but not quite as fast under ideal conditions.
This part I understand as the EvDO version connected to under 'About Phone>Status. is A:6 on all of the non-JB modems while it says A:7 or A:8 on GB28.
I could live with that, but the other speed issue is that no matter which modem I've tried, I get a pause during testing speeds about a quarter of the way through the DL test that looks like Mount Everest on the DL graph.
I have no idea if it's something unique to my phone, a glitch in CM, or something to do with Sprint's ****ty local network buildout, but it's easily reproducible on several different custom ROM/modem combinations.
But as I said in my first post, Your Mileage May Vary™.

I'm currently running Carbon Rom. I was on the official CM 10.1 nightlies until they were not longer nightly...more sporadic and if-y. So, I switched.

The first post in a ROM's thread is called the Original Post, or OP. Every rom OP has detailed instructions on how to install, or flash that particular ROM. Good luck, and just make sure you are flashing e4gt roms only, and since I see you are on VM, after you flash, Google how to change the mmsc url so you can send mms. Enjoy!
