I was at ATT in Chicago suburbs last night and got to play with the SGII Skyrocket. I immediately turned off Wifi and then ran speedtest. Wow is all I have to say. After I got over the awesome up and down I realized aside from tethering the real value to me was in the fully working 2.3.5. I have tried a few ROMs from here but all seem to have one minor issue or another. That is by no means a knock to the site or the devs as I know this is a passion and everyone works hard to make great ROMs.
In the end I think the Skyrocket is cool, but I think a stable, non-buggy Infuse would be just about as good for most. I loved CM7 with all of it's configuration but needed BT for calls. I went to UCKJ4 based on a suggestion from LB, but the lack of multi-select on emails was a showstopper. I installed Touchdown, but didn't want another 3rd party app confusing Android. I prefer seamless integration. Am I missing something as to why mulitselect doesn't exist. Seems it would have to be a part of the aosp mail.spk. I dont quite undertsand the nuaces of aosp/android/touchwiz/roms etc.
In the end I gues my question is what is the most stable + BT functioning + multiselect ROM to flash. I know I could just go buy a SGII Skyrocket, which I may do, but I thought I would start here.
Thank you for any direction.
Okay I see how multi select works in UCKJ4 ROM. Maybe this is the best ROM. (Clarify - Best ROM for me)
@OP: Take a stock Infuse, and check it speeds. When on stock I had speeds averaging 8-9 Mbps with peaks around 11. Coming to custom ROM reduced them to 3-4 Mbps avg. Not complaining cos 3-4 is quite ok for me and love the options in custom ROM. If SkyRocket is able to go past 11 on avg, that could be significant difference. So far never heard anyone mention they got past the 11Mbs on SkyRocket.

i have the same results on my speed tests........i just walked across the street(to much RF in my building) and i get 10's consistantly with only 2 bars. i get the same results as up top if i have full bars on my LTE network.
the speeds are real folks......for now anyways...lol
In any event, why bother with LTE?
So now that the front end radio speeds are 50mb/s, so we'll just hit our 2gbit limit in like 1 hour vs 20 days - but we can now make a very impressive speedtest. yawn. I'm sorry, guys. This circa-1980 2GB limit thing has just got to go. ATT blames it on their lack of backhaul capacity (towers to internet). Perhaps their inability to police full time tethering. Remember, they're STILL the phone company.
Even if you have unlimited, they'll sniff packets and start the clock on you anyway. "No way you can use more than 2GB of local data on a cell phone if you're not tethering" they cry. Even the tethering plan is a limited, overly complex structured rate plan also. For those of you that've figured a way around these lobbyist-inspired rate plans then more power to you. But for the other 99% of us, a 2mb radio will just have to do.
Believe me, Ver and ATT are lawyering-up as we speak to deal with the upcoming onslaught from you LTE heathens lol
In any event, why bother with LTE?

Looks like I missed this portion
For the next couple months (till my upgrade is due), I solemnly vow to overlook these speeds and be blessedly satisfied that my speeds of 5 Mbps are more than enough for my existence. "More than that would be impossible to achieve" would be my motto for my own well being.
This may now be resolved by the new leak!
Hopefully we can get the new gingerbread release from AT&T soon with the recent leak! (finally I now have the 10 requisite posts!)

I was wondering what is the best radio for our Inspire 4g's? I am not sure myself, and I haven't been able to find much if the inspire 4g is cross compatible with the Desire HD besides, roms and kernels. I am wondering mainly if I can install the radio 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M from the desire HD forum. I am not sure if it compatible or had any side effects / negative reprecussions.
You'll find that some say that a m2 or the m3 radio give you better battery life but I think that might be a placebo effect. I have the m3 which i have no problems with but I am saying that my good battery life goes towards the CM7 build 28! The radio may have something to do with it. If it does, it's very small if any.

That is the leaked gingerbread radio? I am running Coredroid v3.2 with leedroid kernel v2.2.8. I flashed that radio just experimenting. For me I had amazing signal better then the m2 and m3, but my battery life drained away like it was cool. Not doing anything on my phone (full charge no wifi no bluetooth, just data). Cell standby used about 20% of my battery in about 3 hours. With the m2 and m3 my cell stand by is around 11% after 15 hours.

I use 26.06.04.14_M on Android Revolution 3.2 and I can't complain. Before that, I used the radio from attn1's root kit and had shotty reception. Since the upgrade, I've had full service. Don't let bars lie to you though. Check your signal strength in the "about phone" section of the settings menu. Watch the dB's - the close to 0, the better.
Going to flash 26.06.04.14_M as recommended in the revolution thread. How do you find battery life on it cblock? I'm very happy with the battery life on the stock radio that came loaded from at&t but I've dropped a few calls today which isn't normally a problem for me, hoping for a stronger signal from the new radio.
Side note, anyone know how to check what band the phone is running on, 850 or 1900?
What RADIO did you settle on and what result?
See post 1414 on this page. Hands down best radio I have used so far. I am in Florida if that really makes a difference. See pictures of GPS and Speeds. Not to mention the best rom IMHO.

Hey my bad... Forgot to check back
Battery life is fantastic, especially if you're running Gingerbread. (I'm on cm nightly 32)
Here's the radio:

All I can say is do the homework on flashing radios!
Yeah that's the Generic Gingerbread Radio. I flashed it about six hours ago. I have two Inspire's, too. One stock Radio and one with that radio. Where the Stock Radio is getting -110dbi 11asu, this new one gets -93dbi 4asu. Same location.
Not sure what asu is, though. But I do understand the db measurement.

Jeebus...guys I'm learning all this and having fun flashing new ROMS and trying to find one I can live with for more than a day
Other than my StreakDroid, I've flashed a few custom roms on my wife's captivate and now have the Inspire 4G and love it.
I keep reading ROM's that need Eng S-Off..with tutorials and guides. Then I read how dangerous it can be. I'm considering it and wasn't sure where else to ask this...but is it that risky?
Will the benefits be that much better by doing it? Can I get most custom ROMs to work with stock radio? I really want to do this, but damn, my wife's gonna kill me if I mess up another phone.
I just got my inspire today and rooted it and I'm running CM7 RC4 but flashed the radio listed in the forum but my upload speed still sucks at about 100, am I missing something
This is how I flash radios. works flawlessly. No need for eng-s off this way.

I can't get any high than 150 up, and I am running cm7 and this radio as well. I have tried 2 other radios and had same issue. I never tried a speediest after first rooting, so I have no idea if I ever got better uploads.
I am getting -83dBm in columbia SC running the same radio.
Coming from Captivate, the inspire Is like the best phone I have ever used. So smooth and snappy. Everything just works, especially GPS. Even stock rom with all the att bloatware was great.
Can't explain the performance. the specs are pretty similar btw the two phones. my captivate could slow down even with the best roms.

+1 I love my Inspire so much. I'm staying strictly full original with mine. This machine is just a pure gorgeous pleasure to use. There's something to say about grabbing ahold of cold metal. It just feels significant. The same goes for the lowly HTC Freestyle, which I looked at in the store. It also is made from metal.
I too am a big fan of the phone. This was the big winner in my Atrix vs Inspire shootout. There's a thread about it.
One of my main issues was the battery life. That was a real sticking point for me on the Inspire. However, after switching to Leedroid's rom with SetCPU on the default (smartass) setting, I'm currently at 45 hours with 4 hours of awake time, and 30% of my battery left... It's ridiculous.
I'm on revolution 3.3. I wonder if set cpu works also. I'm getting full day of average use without an issue right now with stock.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I think that depends on if they used an OC kernel. LeeDroid explains explicitly that he developed several presets for SetCPU for different situations.

I had some concerns about the speaker volume also. But they've alleviated because all stock Inspires do it. It's something to do with an automatic control where the volume is initially low and then progressively gets louder as any sound remains going. I can live with it also, since I know it's a common thing and not a fault in my specific unit.
Beyond this, I would say this is the utmost flagship model for Android. There's something to be said about the cold feel of metal which these are made of. It just seems significant. I wish the other companies would get in on the metal uni-body design.
Odd, I love my Inspire, but the one problem I do have is the GPS. I can rarely get locks, regardless of radio or ROM. Have found no fix for this unfortunately

Sorry to hear! I've messed around with the GPS since I've had it and I haven't had any big issues with it. What impresses me even more is that even with GPS disabled and network location on, it shows a spot within 5-15ft from me!! Almost dead on exact without GPS on lol, I love this phone!!!!
GPS has been hit or miss on depending on rom. MIUI, shoshkai (sp?), dillagif 0.1 only (sp?), and now cognition 1.0.1. All of the others haven't worked so well in terms of GPS.
So I've had approximate 5 Captivates since last July and thinking about getting AT&T to let me switch phones since I've had so many problems.. Tech support said, and I quote "Yeah we've had a lot of problems with these phones, and I'm hoping the S2 can save face for Samsung" - NICE!
Fellow Captivate owners - Is the Inspire the one to go with over the Atrix?
From what it looks like, the pros over the Captivate are:
1. GPS works
2. LED Flash (thought I wasn't going to need this until the phone became my main camera)
The "cons"
1. Not AMOLED, but still a nice display
Anything else? Looks like you can still use custom ROM's on the Inspire..
How is stock battery life on the Inspire (without all the fancy shmancy things running (live wallpaper/facebook widgets, etc) ) ?
I ask this question because I'm running gummy Fe 2.0 with the EP1Q and I'm wondering if i switch back to ee4 radio if ill notice a difference at all
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I'm running gummy 2.0 with the EP1Q radio. No problems whatsoever.
The rom is independent from the modem from what I understand and I have been getting better service with this radio.
I just downloaded the EPQ1 radios yesterday as i was having some troubles with the 4g dropping and have had great signal so far. I will keep an eye on it and report back in a week. Of the phone calls I've made today, all were crystal clear and good volume so fingers are crossed that my problems are solved.
For me, there wasn't much of a difference
Sent from my Galaxy Tab running MIUI
It was better at holding the 4g signal but nothing else has been too noticeable. Still better then ee4, that **** switches between 3g/4g every 10 minutes.

I have never hit speeds like this on EE4, ever. Not to mention 4G is more consistent with much less searching
well my issue is that i've been experiencing data drop out like crazy sometimes and ive read of other people experiencing the same issue. i think i'll just reflash the EP1Q radio and see if that helps
For me, EP1Q modem has less data dropouts (4G->3G-1X) for me. Also, if it changes, the transition is fast.
I can also vouch for EP1Q, the data stream is definitely more stable in general, though I haven't really noticed any considerable speed improvements.
I only had the signal totally drop out on me once on EP1Q this past weekend but it quickly came back. Then again, they have said that they sent one of those roving techs to check my area and they have admitted my area needs a tower but they need to get approval from the higher-ups to install one.
Apparently Verizon has been doing a lot of work in my area according to some press release in which they are expanding 4G coverage in my area. They say that by Sept. 15th I should be seeing 4G in more places across my city. All I can say is that I'm happy to see that.
Oh, and I'm glad I have unlimited data since I've noticed that doing any kind of streaming anything, especially NetFlix can eat through data like nothing I've ever seen. That and Slacker Radio can cause you to eat data.

However, going to the speakeasy speedtest site via your browser produces accurate results.

I thought about it, but my system runs perfectly and after looking at what 2.0 gives you I don't really see anything I care about.
I could care less about 7 different lock screens, I did the tweak to totally eliminate the lock screen. I tried the imoseon kernel briefly, but I kinda prefer the more saturated colors and ended up swapping back.
I think over clocking is a waste of time after trying it for a while, so unless I am missing something I don't really see what I would gain from the 2.0 swap although I am certainly open to suggestions??

I'm not sure how it could be any more stable than my system. Mine runs weeks at a time without a single freezeup or reboot if I want.
When you say it is "more polished", are you just talking about visual tweaks??
I must have changed ROMs 50 times when I had a TouchPro 2 and every time it was a noticeable improvement so I'm not opposed to switching for a good reason. My system now runs so well however, I don't really see any compelling reason to update just because a new version is out.

While there is no need to convince you as people can choose to run whatever version of whatever rom they want, I find it curious that you would choose to not update. It seems to me that the type of people that generally visit these forums and mess with their devices are the same type of people that generally want things when they are updated.
That aside...
1.9.1
*Fixed misc theme issues across the overall theme
*Removed AM/PM from the status-bar clock
2.0
*Custom kernel by IMoseyON
*TSMparts for modifications (more information below on usage)
*updated toolbox for simplicity (sorry no GUI 2.0 released at this time)
*updated base Theme (we did switch to a blue to give 2.0 a new look as it feels like a new rom)
*updated dialer completely remade to have the contacts built into the app
The updated kernel provides additional stability fixes and fluidity to the UI.
TSM parts is a very handy tool to have.
the update to the base theme gives the phone a more professional feel to it. (i.e. polish) the dialer is vastly better than the pervious.
Again, if you choose not to update, so be it. I could not care less one way or the other. You seem like an intelligent person, so you would know best what works for you.
To get this thread back on topic....
I am running the ep1q radios but as I mentioned earlier, I cant seem to find how to determine what version you are actually running. My Baseband version did not change when i updated the radios. I would like to say I am getting better performance.. but its hard to know if its the radios, or something else.
Any chance that one of you knows how to determine the radio that is installed?

Actually, I'm usually as you say the kind of person that immediately updates everything as soon as possible. My system runs so well however, I just wasn't sure it was worth going through the PITA of setting up the whole system again.
Now, after reading your post however I may have to rethink that. If the system really will run better/more efficiently etc. I guess you have me getting the itch to update again.... ;-)
It seems like I have been working a million hours a week lately (I'm an IT Administrator among other things) but if/when I ever get some spare time I guess I will just get to it and update."....

This is the RADIO pulled from the UCLK4 JellyBean Leak (Samsung) (BIG THANKS to the anonymous source, you know who you are). Note, this has no RIL (it appears the ril interface remains the same), but I have no idea if anything under the hood (device firmware) has changed. But, any case you have the CSC files included which is relevant to touchwiz based ROMS.

Edit: why NOT flash when attached to USB? First time I've seen that. Just curious

Testing now. So far, same signal strength and speeds. Will be traveling this week and test on LTE.

Flashing with usb plugged in results in no signal generally. Not sure why.

That's pretty interesting, considering I did that and had to reflash several times with the UCLF6 modem because I was tethered.
Anyhow, does anyone have any idea's what exactly is changed in this modem, or if it works any better? I've heard modems are really device/location specific; like one may work in one area better, but a different modem works better in a different area.
Thanks for the share

Can't get a geo location lock with this radio
Edit: reflashed and reflashed kernel and so far all is well
I will have to give this a try. So far UCLF6 has been the best radio for me. UCLI3 was crap (for me) and I've had to ditch it twice.

WOW. My small little town loves this radio. Literally twice as fast as UCLF6 for me. GPS also works like a charm. Thanks
Working great so far thanks!
Can this be used on the Hercules? I would imagine this resolves some of the signal/call quality issues.
Not for Hercules, as the op states, and on att my lte speeds went 4mbps up from ucli3 on average, hoping call quality Improves immensely, ucli3 has a problem with call volume on my phone
After a full day of use, I have found no bugs whtsoever with the radio and LiquidSmooth ROM. Quick GPS fix and good speeds on LTE or 3G. No dropped data connections or anything else. Looks like a winner for me.
flash 3 hours already. no differece between this and ucli3 for me. both is much better than uclf6.
cm10 stable page recommended the ucli3 radio, so flash back to ucli3.
one question, anyone know where to find the changelog for these radios?? why they keep update the radios if there is no change??
getting the fastest speeds i ever got on this phone, and so far it seems to work better connecting to cingular apn instead of pta for some reason... thanks for the awesome modem!
as the OP states, I flashed at my own risk, on a cm10 by Sean
at first boot it soft reboot, but so far is stable I do see full bars now, will check tomorrow for call quality
speeds remain the same as ucli3 but better than uclf6.
Chiming is as well, just flashed to the CM10 12-9 nightly and I flashed this radio as I was having a **** ton of NO SIM card errors and I was frantically looking for a fix. Thus far, fastest speeds I've seen on LTE and solid bars where I've gone this evening. I'll report back once I head into work and hit the dreaded "dead zone" in my office to see how this radio fares.

I still get no data connection when in an LTE area using cingular. I do get data using cingular when not in an LTE area. Strange??? I stay on PTA all the time and get data connect in both areas. This has been the case for me with any radio on my skyrocket. Not sure why.
Data connection for me is about 5-10mbps slower than UCLF6 on LTE. No noticeable difference with calls.
There's almost no roms/themes/mods for the Ultra or Maxx. Why is this? Is there no real interest in this phone, or am I looking in the wrong threads?

Locked Bootloader...too many unlocked phones that are technically as good or better for developers to play with. I have the maxx...best phone I've ever had, so I hope someone will start working in it soon as well. There is bound to be someone up for the challenge.
I'm going to take a stab here. There might not be as much development because the demand is not as high as some other devices. I know there is not a huge user base, but also I've heard a lot of folks are happy with just having root access. The stock software is simply good enough. This is how I feel. One of my main reasons for custom Roms in the past was always to get better battery life. That just isn't a concern for me with this phone.

very true, this phone is just great with root.. but then again it would be nice to have a few custom roms to customize it the way we wanted. hopefully it picks up by next year XD
Don't forget new file system, to! A droid Maxx with root is a fairly decent device in and of itself. There are plenty of ways to modify/ customize it, even without root.
fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
Thinking about picking up the Maxx from the LG G2 (and the note 3 before it)
Hows battery life? Honestly.
LG G2 has 3000 mah, and it's not BAD, but I've had every maxx since the OG, whats screen on time, how often do yall charge?
@YoungSkeezy I could get at least 8 hours screen on time in a days worth of use

With root and xposed framework I really don't feel the need for ROMs on my Maxx and Moto X. The stock firmware is just that good.
This phone has a huge user base. It seems us enthusiasts are few and far between. That said, ever since getting my first android phone, the AOSP ROM was my most coveted. The development for my choice in phones was never complete. This phone has taken over in that respect.
I love this thing and don't see a need to switch for a long time.

Great thing about this phone is that the internals are the exact same as the Moto X which pretty much makes any ROM automatically compatible (other than the touch screen buttons).
But as others have said, the stock ROM is so good that it doesn't need to be changed. Don't think I could live without active notifications either.
I noticed that this phone is not even listed on the top phones section and taken off newest phones list. I bought this phone for my daughter as a birthday gift. She loves it . Shes a texting fanatic. Shes gone almost 2 days on a single charge. Checking facebook and tumblr . 7 hours of screen time. My question is why is this not a top phone. Can a Note 3 do this? or the nexus 5? galaxy 4? HTC one?
On side note even if there where roms out there I wouldn't even think of putting one on this phone. I had a chance to fool around with it. It is what a phone should do . Clear calls. Long battery life. Easy UI. I think this phone should be in the top list.
A ROM on this phone is a negative not a positive. Kexec ROMs are glitchy and you would lose the features that make this phone a one of a kind. Like posted earlier xposed turns stock into a custom ROM with no glitchs.
I would say 70+% of ROM development is geared at putting AOSP on devices with terrible overlays. The other 30% is geared at removing garbage features from the aforementioned terrible overlays.
Once the bloat is removed, this phone is as close to AOSP as I've ever seen straight out of the box, and the added features are actually worth having.
I've actually added a few things from Paradigm (our AOSP ROM) to my personal device, but it's not easy to package for the stock ROM slot and runs like crap on Safestrap.
Frankly, i bought this device because it was already exactly what i wanted. I would never buy a locked down phone that wasn't exactly what i wanted to begin with. If it's not for you, you should probably look at trading it out for one with an "active" development community.
