I think you may be the first person to ask this question. Wait...uh oh:
Fifty people may have asked this question in the main thread...the one where you found out about the ROM. Aside from that though...nothing.
...well, except for in the Wiki. But that is the only other place.
...unless you were to look at the other threads asking the same question. But surely there is no where else...right?!
Whoops...a little sarcasm slipped! My bad!
A list of radios and threads relating to them. Found it using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
thanks for the flame....
Don't you think I already found that thread and read about it in the other forum. I'm asking ATT Tilt users specifically their input on the best radio. If you don't have any input then keep it to yourself... I'm not asking for anything but an opinion of the best radio with his version of 6.1... jeez you guys are quick to flip the bird... get over yourself

all's good.
Tried 1.58 and it burned through the battery. 1.64 works as good or better than the dedicated AT&T radios.
I just installed 1.58.26.20 and also realized it was burning through the battery very fast. I am interested to know if 1.64 is better for battery life on the ATT Tilt. Thanks.
I had 1.64 and it was ok. Cant say anything about battery since I had it for a day. I lost a bar of signal - or two - overall. Now on the new ATT rom, and everything works great. Signal is almost always at peak and battery is fine.
i used 1.64 like everyone else said to, and my signal was noticably worse. switched to 1.58 and it was fine. no battery drain problems... but i've been off the charger for shorter times recently, so not sure.
i tried all the radios on dutty's and the GPS never worked, switched to sleuth, everything worked.

I'm quite desperate, using 1.58.26.20 for few days and it is eating up the battery extremly fast. without bluetooth, wi-fi, even without push-mail on I don't get a whole day (before 1 to 1,5 or 2).
with 1.64 I felt the same, but going to try again.

Which is the the "new ATT rom"?
Mods please close this redundant thread.
I have at&t tilt
Use 1.64 radio with it.
1.58.26.20 drains more battery and signal isn't too great either.

I actually got better signal with 1.58.26.20 than I did with the other 1.64 that I tried. The battery drain is a pain though.
I've had serious problems getting a reliable GPS connection with anything other than radio 1.64 so this would be my recommendation. Also, I've had GPS running today for a long time and the rear mobile is still cool. Usually it runs warm with other radios so I guess that battery isn't being pushed as hard??
gps...
I went ahead and tried both of the newer 1.64 radios and really didn't see much difference. I stayed with the most recent release. I was able to get my GPS working after running the quick GPS then the GPS tool. It wasn't working at first because of my location. I tried it at work and it was fine and locked onto satellites... Try changing locations and running the GPS tools first.
OK 2.2 update is out Wooooo!! But Still no Bluetooth Voice Dialer big FAIL for me. So I am rooted and looking for a Rom suggestions with these features.
Bluetooth voice dialing
Lagfix would be nice
Gps Improvement if possible
Better speed in general
Decent Battery life
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I can see you do not understand what a modem is, so I will do my best to explain it in simple terms.
A modem is what modulates and demodulates a signal wave in the air, allowing you to send and receive messages/phone calls/data. It is also known as a baseband. It takes digital data and converts it into an analog signal (the waves in the air) and the recipient converts it back into digital information again.
Each modem is designed to specifically work with a certain phone and firmware version. Do not mix i9000 modems with captivate kernels or vice versa.
Depending on the area you live in, certain modems will give you better battery/signal reception/call quality/download speeds.
Ok I understand about the baseband. Just wasnt connecting it with the Modem in my brain. How does the 3G data reception do with that modem? That is a concern as I use internet from phone on work. I am in the Midwest Kansas City area but travel alot on work.

Well you can only use KB1 with captivate ROMs, Precision won't work with it.
KB1 for me has slower data speeds than i9000 modems like JK4 and JL2. Also the GPS doesn't seem as fast.
Should I use Odin to install this rom, also the link to it in the GUIDE thread doesnt seem to be working anymore. Where Can I get Odin???

Just wondering if there is a ROM that handles wifi better than the stock one. It amazes me just how bad it really is....Need to do something about it!
I guess I wasn't on the stock ROM long enough to notice any issues with wifi, but I guess Serendipity VII might manage your wifi signal better. I really haven't had any issues with my Infuse's wifi connection while using this ROM.

Other than possibly Gingerbread vs. Froyo - none. All Froyo kernels use the same BCM4330 driver, all Gingerbread kernels use another driver but it's the same for all GB kernels.
(Wifi support is primarily in the kernel.)
Thanks. Switched to infused 1.6 last night and it seems to be a little better so far.

get Infused v.2.1.0
its amazing....cant believe i didnt flash it sooner because my phone doesnt even hiccup anymore.
I actually found that Infused is pretty weak on connectivity both wifi and cell signal, I'm trying to find something better but I'm with the Rogers Infuse with GB. so there are only like 3 roms available to try from ( and I did..) any suggestions besides waiting for att Infuses to get the GB update?
This version is amazing and super stable. I can't imagine why it hasn't been pushed out officially...

EE4 wasn't a great modem either. Darn VIA radio.
But the GB builds have an issue with noises in phone calls that is still there in EP4P, if VZW is also seeing that in testing that could hold it up. And if they plan an ICS release for the phone Samsung might not try too hard to fix it - they obviously haven't been able to do so yet.

+1 The noise happens to me on any 2.3 rom, hopefully it's one of the issues they're trying to resolve before releasing gingerbread, though I hate to be part if the reason it's being held up

i think that something is wrong with my phone. It does not like any custom roms. It freezes and acts up often. Once i put the stock froyo or gbread it flies and works perfectly fine..... And gbread 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 were solid with no issues so far.
I think its the modem. I had my first static incall today after running the 2.3.6 leak for a week.
Never had that issue on froyo roms.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
There are some problems with this build as well. It seems to mostly be with the radio, echoing what people have said here. I've had a couple times where I could no longer send/receive SMS and had to reboot (where it immediately started working again).
There's some other weird things going on with the I/O. I use PowerAmp for music and I'm getting strange skips and pauses that I never had before. Could just be my configuration, but I'm still running pretty lean.
The latest rumor is that the OTA is happening on the 29th. That and $3.49 will get you a McRib.
GB is alright. They need to fix the freeze issue that has been on quite a few GB leaks. It doesn't happen that much on EP4P but it's still there. The modems on EP3 were great in the sense that the signal was SO much better, it obtained/held 4g with such ease. Then I upgraded to the EP4 modems and i lose my 4g signal like i did on EE4 but my 3g is actually usable now. Before the 3g speeds were so TERRIBLY slow i could never dream of browsing the web on it. These speeds are reasonable and i think these modems are the best so far. They need to combine EP3 and EP4 modems to make a solid, stable 4g connection but a very fast 3g connection when it does drop down. Ontop of all that they still need to fix the ****ty voice issue on all GB versions. EE4 was great with this but the GB modems make the voice quality sound like crap.
So, all in all, even though GB is clearly no where near ready to be launched i still just want them to push it anyway because that means GB source code which means CM7 which means CM9(if we get a dev on it)
I feel as the OP feels. As far as a bad radio, I guess I'm just lucky. I haven't had issues with data loss, crackling noise, Bluetooth problems, or anything else. This phone has been darn near perfect since I got it. The only real complaint I have (which really isn't a complaint) is battery consumption. I wish it was a tad better but I manage just fine. Oh, I do wish there was more memory too. I haven't been able to play a couple games because of low memory. Battery and memory are my only real issues at this point. Still, I'm overall very happy with the Charge and would have no problem staying with it if I didn't have an upgrade available.

The modem is better than before. I'm not saying the modem is good or ready yet, but it is working better than any of the last 2 or 3 that I've tried / used.
I sure hope they don't screw up the O/S portion or give up completely because they radio is crap.

Where did you hear that bro?
This release is solid
I was sick of waiting so I flashed this ROM to my phone and I have had the same results as the op. The phone is so responsive and snappy. It is like a new phone. I used to experience numerous data drops before and now, maybe a few in the last ten days. I have not had any of the static/call issues others have had. GPS is still slow to lock. Download GPS fix from the market and run it before you use the GPS...it helps IMO.
My battery life has improved since porting this release. I am a moderate user (phone calls, text, facebook, twitter, occasional GPS) and I get an entire day from my phone (7:00 am - 11:30 pm). I am sure streaming movies and gaming would cut it down significantly but the casual user will notice a big improvement in battery life.
Again, this is just my personal experience.
I agree that the latest version is awesome.
I guess I am really lucky as I have never had the slightest problem with data, phone call quality or anything else. My phone setup the way it is runs faster & smoother than my bosses Bionic.
The ONLY thing I would change if I could would be the poor battery life, but that's a fact of life with these huge screens etc.

No problem with my Modem. Maybe its your Charge? The leak has been solid for me.
I searched and found a few older threads related to this, but i figured i would get a fresh crowd.
Chances are tomorrow Ill pick up an infuse, I currently have a captivate and will definately keep it (ICS is running great and i must say i love it)
I need opinions from people running the infuse now, hows the speed? anyone using the cm7 ports that can comment on the usability of it? From what i read the bluetooth is semi working in cm7 but the only thing i need it for is sixaxis controller for my snes emulation
also it seems that i see people overclocking this upwards of 1.6+, any feedback on battery when going that crazy?
in all honesty im too cheap to pay for a gsII or a skyrocket, the only reason im getting a new phone is that with my family plan i get a lot of upgrades and i feel that if i dont use them up im just wasting time
CM7 is always my choice of ROM to use for the infuse, battery life is great, everything works, besides the semi working bluetooth
IMHO If you need GPS routinely I'd pass on the Infuse. It works better on some ROMs but the GPS will more than likely be a diasappointment.
Other than that the Infuse is great...awesome form factor, and has some very nice ROMs that are updated regularly and looks like the DEV support will continue way into 2012.

i come from the captivate, the definition of gps issues. i felt like i needed a gps when i got my phone, now ive learned to live without it. Also i heard the infuse locks a bit better than the captivate, which would be an improvement for me,
I was debating between this and a nexus s. specs wise alone the infuse wins. The nexus is better in the fact that its pure google, but ill quickly flash the cm port and then who cares who "officially" supports my os
I came from a captivate. For me i have a lot of modem issues with the infuse. A lot more than i did with my captivate. I've tried cm7 and miui for the infuse and didn't like either one. My signal was in and out non stop. I tried resetting apn settings, flashing different modems and nothing worked. I just stay with the deodexed stock roms. KL2 is the best so far, for me at least.

Am I misinformed? Or isnt the HDMI only working with Froyo based roms? If your looking at CM7 or any Gingerbread roms out there for the infuse trust it wont have working HDMI, and bluetooth issues. At least that is the general impression I get. Please someone tell me if Im wrong. This is the very reason I get sad when flashing anything new on this phone. Always go back to Froyo in the end. Which really isnt all that bad. When rooted, this phone will do everything any other phone can and more. Its a great device, and you just cant beat the price---free on contract!
AND THE SCREEN IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!! UNBEATABLE SCREEN--BESIDES MAYBE NEXUS PRIME AND GALAXY NOTE!!!

I also came from the cappy, and from my experience, you won't be disappointed. The screen is f*cking beautiful. Just like I'm sure you love your cappy's screen, the infuse is bigger and doesn't have the annoying pentile sh*t. The camera is also an upgrade, not to mention having a flash. Pictures are beautiful with this phone. People are surprised that some of my pictures are taken with my phone because they're damn good.
Also, I've seen a huge improvement in GPS compared to the cappy. Some roms still have problems, but I get locks under 10 seconds on cm7. Another plus is you get slightly faster data if you're in an hspa+ area. As to people saying data drops in and out, I've only experienced this on a couple of roms, however, can usually be fixed with altered apn's; the cm7 thread has the settings in the first post.
Yeah, we don't have as much dev work as the cappy, but there are more than enough great roms to play with. Not to mention the CM7 build which I am currently using, as well as miui. We don't have ICS, yet. People are working on it, so I'm sure it will come eventually. Linuxbozo worked magic for porting gb roms over to our phone with hellraiser, so I'm sure something similar will eventually be worked out with ics.
As to the usability of cm7, I think only the audio side of Bluetooth is wonky, so your controller should be good, don't know for sure though.
Battery life is decent, I'm a pretty heavy user, lots of screen on time with texting and reading xda, fb, twitter, email, etc. and I still get a whole day usually. On my cappy with the same usage I was always recharging part way through the day.
Other than that, there's not much else. You don't need to overclock from my experience, the 1.2 GHz processor makes cm7 fly, I haven't seen any lag whatsoever; other roms are equally as snappy as well.
Hope I helped!

Glad its working out. I really like this phone. Lol, I thanked you on accident.
I'm running zeus rom at 1.6Ghz and got more than 4.5 hours display time yesterday, which is amazing. yeah the gtalk seems to need a hacked version. If you figure out how to run video chat over data I would very much appreciate to know which version you used, as I have yet to get that working.

Hey everybody I'm thinking about buying a Samsung Infuse. I have an HD2 that I've had since June 2010 and this phone is starting to die on me. A faulty hardware on this phone is causing me to think about buying an Infuse. Have you guys experienced any freezing or overheating issues while using the Infuse? How is the camera and video quality? Can you take widescreen pictures like the HD2?
see, i dont see a need for HDMI so i dont even think about it.
as for the auto brightness, i didnt know that it didnt work. lol.
still CM7 is really good rom.
There's really no reason to upgrade from the Captivate to the Infuse.
Sent from my SGH-I897
I hated my infuse until I put the Zeus rom on it. It locked up, turned off, and rebooted itself all the time. The battery drained quickly when it was idle while I was sleeping it would be dead within a few hours from a full charge.
However now that I put a rom on it I don't have any of those issues and actually like the phone now.
If you go with the Infuse, I highly recommend Zeus as the best custom ROM for the phone.

I bought my infuse for the display and the size.
How this has played out scenario:
I walk up to the girls.
I whip it out. I say "Check this out, baby!"
They're like, "Oh WOW. It's so big!"
I'm like, "Yeah. I know. Thank you."
They're like, "Can I touch it?"
I'm like, "Sure, Baby."
Another guy comes up and say, "Check out my smaller cappy with ICS."
They're like, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. We wanna play with Mr. Big"
