There is no best version. Try different roms. Different people have different needs. If you don't state more information no one can help you

well Best rule of thumb i guess would be to flash the latest version. you can see my signature for what im using. im on tmobile sensation as well.
But honestly roms are like getting a new car. find the one thats best for your a** on a long drive. so no one can really tell you which one is best for you. just give it a go.
I am on the latest version of ARHD on the bone stock TMO radio and I am loving it.
I have never flashed a different radio with any ROM Ive used, and have never needed to.

Does the signal got better when u use the latest arhd? I'm still on stock Rom but already s off and rooted but signal is not that great.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I've tried at least the last 10 versions of ARHD downclocked to 1.2, and the latest is the best. Both had the previous radio and the recommended, both worked fine for me, signal, voice quality, up/download speed are almost the same.
ARHD consumes very little power when screen off, but relatively more (compared to stock roms) when awake and using cpu/gpu intensive applications. For office use, you can get two days of battery life with no additional tricks (push exchange + HSDPA on)
Stability: almost zero fc-s, no lags, feels like a well optimized factory rom
From Sense roms, this is the best you can get.

All members are here to answer you, but you should start off by learning the basics from the noobproof guides or searching them, because someone probably answered your questions.
I am fairly new to all this too, so far I have tried Leedroid, insertcoin and all the latest revolution roms. By far the most stable and smoothest for me is the latest 4.1.3, very pleased indeed with it.

I haven't noticed the signal being better or worse honestly. My 4G data seems a bit better with ARHD though.

Hi,
If you look in his signature,it says ARHD 3.6.2 XE,which is the version using base 2.3.4 and Sense 3.0
The alternative one is version 4.1.3. which uses base 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5
If you check ARHD [OP] 3.6.2 is available in post 1,and 4.1.3 is in post 3

Noob question,
I have ARHD 4.1.3 on my phone with the suggested radio, if I flash back to the stock rom or a different rom do I need to change the radio? and if so what radio would I flash? I'm a Tmo US customer.
Thanks,

Hi,
Changing ROMS has no affect on the radio.
There is no need to change the radio to an earlier version,unless you are having serious problems with the one you have installed.

Thanks, it just said that you should use a matched radio and I'm not sure what that meant.
As far a problems before changing the radio, the radio is for 3g-4g connection, cell service or both?

Hi,
The thing is to flash mods using the same base as your ROM.
If you check my sig , I have battery mods for ARHD base 2.3.4 and 2.3.5
Check with your ROM'S dev,to see which base you are using,and then flash the appropriate mod.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL A MOD
For beats I installed THIS MOD ,because I am on base 2.3.5 using Sense 3.5
Or you could install ARDH 3.6.3 XE which contains beats anyway.

I'm still on stock tmobile us rom, I just came from arhd with no luck so I restored my phone to factory stock then s off and rooted.

You can install anything you want, you just have to know what it is you want to do. Lets say you want to have beats audio (using the previous posters example). You know you have a stock ROM, version 2.3.4 most likely, so just find a beats audio only mod for 2.3.4 bases running Sense 3.0.
Or, as the previous poser says, you can install a whole ROM that already includes it. ARHD basically simulates a Sensation XE by removing the under-clocking on the CPU thats there stock bringing it up to 1.5 Ghz, adding beats audio, and overall just smoothing out the ROM. It looks the same as the stock ROM, it just works better.
The best thing to do is just make a backup of how it is now through recovery, then try stuff out and see what you like. You can always restore your backup and it will be right back to how it was before you did anything.

EDIT: Saw you came from ARHD. Sorry to hear about the bad luck. But yes, you can install mods without a full ROM.

Yeah I did tried 3 of the most recent arhd Rom, it is smooth and fast but has too many glitches on my phone. I tried installing the recommended radio it does fixed my signal issue, but after 3 days of using my phone keeps goin on a black screen when somebody calls me or text me so I decided to revert to stock

Interesting. Did you try turning the CPU back down to 1.2 GHz? I have ran 3.6.1 and only had one reboot before I switched to the beta kernel, never had any issues with 3.6.2 which came with the same kernel I upgraded to with 3.6.1, but I switched to bricked 0.91 kernel and its even better. Tried 3.6.3 and had a bunch of FC problems and issues so I restored back to 3.6.2.
Basically they all have worked well for me, but I've read of some people needing to stay at 1.2 GHz because of problems you have described.

I haven't tried restoring to 1.2ghz , I just restored my phone back to stock I got tired of trying all the versions and seems all of the versions I flashed had issues on my phone, don't get me wrong but I do love the speed and smoothness of arhd its just those fcs, unstable signal and not to mention the black screen issue. But like you said I haven't tried using different kernel I just used the one that came with the Rom and the other faux kernel that one of xda member suggested the beta 10. I even tried the insertcoin 3.3.9 and same issue with signal. I'm on tmobile carrier I don't know if that causes the signal issue with most of the Rom I flashed.

Well, I'm on T-Mobile also and have had no issues, thats strange. Did you flash the recommended radio also? Maybe you need to try a different one if so.
I really like the Bricked kernel, it runs faster/smoother and the battery life is better than the Faux kernels I used - at least what I've seen so far. I run Sense 3.0 so Im limited to Bricked 0.91, but its still plenty good from what I've seen. He is developing more for Sense 3.5 kernels at this point I think.
Anyway, if it was me, I would try one of the ARHD ROMs with a bricked kernel (the kernel can also affect your reception I believe). If you still have issues, try clocking it back to 1.2 Ghz. I too ran IC for a little while, but finally just settled back to ARHD for a few reasons.

Hi,
Have you tried a custom ROM with the original radio?
I know it won't be matched,but sometimes it's a needs must situation.
Use the radio that will give you the BEST signal.
It might just be that it's the only one that will work properly in YOUR area.

So,what combination of ROM and radio was the best for signal?
And with your current set-up,do you ALWAYS have bad signals?
Or does it vary from area to area?
Well guys, so here is the issue, i had darkside and my phone just kept switching between the 4g, 3g, and 2g signal within seconds of the switch. Same goes with virtuous unity. I thought it might be the radio, so do you guys have any suggestions?

Ofcourse there is risk of bricking.. but if you do it the way its mentioned in the post you are good.. i change radios all the time..
If you are too scare to try changing the Radio then try the MIUI ROM.. Its the best I found for 4G signal on my phone.

You'll want to flash a modified ICS rom instead of waiting months for a carrier update. You might get OTA updates if you're stock rom + rooted, but if it's a custom rom, you won't.
Seriously though, don't wait for your carrier to update your phone, they'll add their **** to it and ruin it.
Yeah I'm just gonna wait for a good stable ics Rom then flash it I never like waiting is there any u recomend?

ARHD 3.6.13 is a Gingerbread ROM compared to 6.0 which is an ICS ROM.
ICS Senseless ROM
I really love the Virtuous Inquisition ROM. It is an ICS based ROM without Sense and has the appearance and features of pure ICS.
You can find it here.
It is very stable and has great battery life.
Hey I am new to rooting Android phones and ever since S-OFF and loading a custom ROM I am getting terrible signal stength, not receiving calls and having terrible reception making calls.

I don't have any problem with this ROM, but since I installed ARHD v6, I'm not getting good signal. Before flashing it, I had Gingerbread and ICS, and the signal was perfect... :S
Probably, changing the Radio and RIL fixed it, but I don't know which ones are better for your country.

The Telstra network is 850Mhz which might be the problem, I think.
It would be useful if perhaps someone with stock Vodafone ICS in Australia could post their radio version, because Vodafone also runs a 850Mhz network here.
