It's difficult to answer this question without knowing your exact Phone model ....
For my part , I can only speak for myself ....
Galaxy S4 Mini Duos ( 9192 )
Baseband : I9192UBUCOI2
Cyanogen 12.1
Works like a charm , no issues whatsoever and good battery life ( Better then stock 4.2.2 )
Cheers,
Claude

Usually "best" modem is the one that is used in a country closer to u
So if your phone is 9192 then look at this :
- DDU*** - India / Nepal / Sri Lanka / Bangladesh
- UBU*** - Brazil / Trinidad and Tobago / Chile / Panama
- XXU*** - Kazakhstan / Ukraine / Uzbekistan / Saudi Arabia / Russia / Pakistan / Egypt /
South Africa / Kenya / Algeria / Tunisia / Iraq, etc - Can be used for rest of Europe

I am using the OCT modem... i guess that it is not good... i am having issues using internet with opera mini without "cheap or saver" mode...

is OCT the region? (letters that come straight after model number) I don't recognise it, maybe a European one?
I think Opera will still send data to their servers even when you are not in data saving mode, so probably not the best way to judge modem performance. Other apps should also be affected. Try run a speed test/network app.
Not all modems work well with all ROMs even if region is correct, update modem or try slightly older one if already on newest,

Hi friend.......
First thing is....you are not bricked!!!!
Second thing....this has happened to almost everyone here.......
Third thing......I think I can solve for you.......
Can you go to here, my thread for my own semi-brick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20687063&postcount=233
It has links for ROM, 2.3.6. [Oh...Oh...dead link]
[I see andy post different link, use that for ODIN flashable package....it's prob I8150XXKK1_I8150OXXKJ6_I8150XXKK1_HOME.tar.md5]
Flash as One Package, Check One Package/Auto Reboot/Protect OPS
You got ODIN, right, and ancora.ops......if not, let us know.
BTW, this is not Romanian ROM. It is Multi-CSC, English OK, no branding from Local Carrier.....in CSC OXX means Multi-CSC, so it's OK and safe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032
Here is the description of CSCĀ“s (included country variants):
DBT (Germany specific)
OXA *Multi CSC* (for France, Germany, Italy, Poland, UK, UK & Ireland)
OXE *Multi CSC* (for Baltic, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine)
OXX *Multi CSC* (for Austria, Baltic, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland)

You will need to re-root and all the other stuff after this, good practice!!!
And, KIES won't like your new F/W, so phuck KIES......who cares
KJ6 Just means it is 2011-10-v6.....but it is 2.3.6........
KK1 means 2011-11-v1........
Best of luck

OXX means Multi-CSC, which supports many Euro Languages, including English(Ireland)....but without Meteor or EMobile shyte.
CSC = Customer Sales Code or Consumer Software Customisation??
In Phone/PDA:
XX means Region....Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
KK1 means Year 2011 Month November Revision 1
[Year 2001 = A........Year 2011 = K]...........[Month Jan = A......... Month December = L]

File says XEU.......generic, unbranded UK.......it seems OK!!! on first look.....
But: I8150XXLA2_OXXKL4_XEU_Android_2.3.6.zip
XXLA2....means Phone/PDA F/W
XX Region is Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and
LA2....means Year 2012, Month Jan, Revision 2
OXXKL4........CSC values are ambiguous???
OXX...........means OXX means unbranded Multi-CSC, which supports many Euro Languages
KL4....means Year 2011, Month November, Revision 4
Which is all OK......
But then there is the XEU....does this refer to CSC also???
As I said, XEU.......generic, unbranded UK CSC.....so, two CSC values.....
But, I think it's just academic, it should not matter!!!
AS for Messages not being sent, you set up the APN's for your provider???
Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Access Point Names.....maybe important
Who is that, O2, Voda, Tesco????
May be important, as I don't think all Irish Providers are included in the generic CSC xml files, like customer.xml, thers.xml, etc......
Im with meteor. Checked there and few of the settings seem to be different also few more on the phone that are not listed on the website, so going to give them a ring. Flashing the new rom as i type so see if that has any effect

[Q] Which i9192 modem to use in Europe?

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S3 already and have been following this forum for a while, but I have never had problems with it as with this one. It's about my Galaxy S4 mini DUOS (i9192). I've bough the phone from an unofficial seller because i9192 was never supposed to be imported in Croatia (EU). The phone came with I9192XXUAMF7 build and modem. Today I've expereinced that the phone was running fine but I couldn't make any calls and nobody could call me untill I've taken out the battery and SIM. It was runnign on one SIM only. Network was OK and signal was full. I' would like to change the modem to see if that's the problem.
My question is - has anyone experienced anything similar or has changed the XXUAMF7 modem? I'm located in Croatia (Europe) and the closest country modem localisation is Ukraine. Should I change it to Ukraine modem?

Thanks for the notice! I have SGS 3 and it has no Knox bootloaders so I'm not familiar with it but from what I've read it's a no no. My original bootloader is stock Samsung. No Knox icons in download mode. I just might try your ROM. Have been reading about it just a few minutes ago.
I've been listing sammobile FWs and it gives me Russian and Ukrainian ROMs. You're suggesting I give one of them "a spin"?

[Q] Looking for official 4.2.2 (hungary, open) for 8.0 LTE SM T315

Hello,
My father "accidentally" updated his Samsung tab 3 8.0 LTE SM T315 to official 4.4.2, but he don't like it and he got many errors with 3rd party softwares like iGo and Solid Explorer, etc...
We would like to downgrade to previous (official 4.2.2) ROM.
Can anyone link a network independent (so not Telenor, Vodafone, T-mobile) ROM with hungarian support?
(Btw what happens if we installing a ROM of provider (for example, Telenor)?)
Thanks in advance and sorry for bad english knowledge

Normally, nothing should be messed. But the connection speed may increase or decrease if you use such roms. You can also lose your radio (SIMCard support).

No encryption possible
Hi SilviuMik,
thank you for your 4.4.2 firmware version. I flashed your firmware according to your instruction, installed my apps etc.
Then I wanted to encrypt my GT-I9192, wallpluged it, battery charged to 100%. After entering the passphrase, the phone rebooted and showed the android logo. It appears for a minute and the phone reboots without being encrypted.
Can anybody confirm this behavior or give me a clue what went wrong?

I have no clue actually . I don`t use Kies at all
My contacts stay on google account and i sync them there .
Maybe kies does not like custom roms
And u need new version of Kies for 4.4.2 VERSION : 3.2.14083_17
I solved the problem by re-installing the Samsung USB driver on the laptop.
---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------
One more question,
With the original 4.2.2 i had problems outside the cities with the second sim when using in 3g mode.
Practically if I used the second sim in 3g mode reception was really bad. In 2g reception was good.
Do you know if this problem is a hardware problem or was solved with this custom rom?
Thanks,

Good advice. Thank you.
Something is really strage, last night i got a 3% discharge rate with all services stopped, no screen, data or wifi.
Today I also put the second sim in 2g mode (better signal), all services stopped and I still have a 3% discharge rate.
In <Better battery stats> i see a process "system_server" with 71% usage. What could it be?
Also in android standard battery stats I see Android System with a lot of CPU usage: 50 min of CPU usage.. only for operating system. I looked on other android devices and I see 5-10 min usage for Android System.
Does the CSC matters? Mine is CSC:I9195OXXBML1 and I notice yours is different.

CSC does not matter . I have m own CSC . I think u have a bad configured app / setting or an bad app . Try to see with Betterbatterystats or with Wakelock detector which app is hurting
At me Android system is with 5-10% battery
Just two little thing with your I9192XXUCNJ3 rom:
I am using it and it works.
The thing which is wrong is, that in the transparent weather application (which comes with this rom), the wheater is always in English language ("fog", or "partly sunny"), even if another language is set (I am using another language on my mobile).
Also at the place where the SMS can be viewed, the date on which the SMS are sent/received is always in English.
In older ROMs (4.2) this things were okay in my language, not in English. I know this are not very important things, but maybe they can be fixed even so.
... excuse me my bad English.
