Just wondering if there are any recommendations on a good radio/RIL file for rogers customers. I am currently using Ordroid 6.0.0 which is a sense 4.0 rom. I was considering flashing the new TMO firmware, but I'm not sure how that would affect me.
Thank you
any experience on the Wind network would also be appreciated
I've used the stock carrier rom.. Google's yakju install and now using cm9... have also tried the last half dozen radios...
There is virtually no difference on rogers that I ever noticed.. signal and bandwidth remain the same no matter which radio or rom I flash... phone performance is another story but in terms of the rogers network, its all fair game imo

Hi,

Hello everyone
I am new to the Android world and loving it! I've been wanting to get a Android phone for some time, and took the plunge last week and purchased a Nexus S through Rogers in Canada - Model I9020A Build GR154.
This phone is amazing stock, but naturally I want to experiment with custom ROM's and get all the functionality and performance tweaks I can.
I apologize for the newb questions, but if someone could enlighten me on what they think some of the best custom roms compatible with my device are, and their personal experience with said roms. My main "wants" in a rom are. Sound improvements (voodoo), video chat on gtalk, greater battery longevity. CM7, Amethyst Nexus 2.2, and Infinity 1.1.0 all interest me. Anyone on GR154 using any of these roms? I'm not clear if any of said roms will work properly on my device.
Again I apologize for the newb questions, any help, advice, recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same NS (I9020a on Rogers). Any of these should work:

The above post is pretty comprehensive and is updated frequently. If you plan on doing alot of flashing, it's a good one to keep bookmarked. I've tested most of them and I haven't had any problems yet.
Happy flashing!
Excellent. Thank you very much!

I'm running 2.3.3 (CM 7.0.3) with netarchy kernel and stock modem (KB2) on my I9020A and it's been great!
Since there isn't much info on I9020As I didn't have the balls to try 2.3.4 or KB3 or the modem after that.
Does anybody know if 2.3.4 roms are working on I9020As? I thought they didn't work but the post above implies otherwise...
And the new modems? Do they run ok with 850mhz?
Cheers!

The new modem that comes with 2.3.4 causes the infamous search button behaviour. Other than that the 2.3.4 flash is pretty stable on the 9020a
Equally new to all of this, with the exact same phone and build.
Where would I find a root and flash tutorial thats up to date and easy as hell? Lol

The tutorial I found the most straightforward and helpful was created by theunlockr.com here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/
The only thing to note is that you can ignore section "VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image". Once you flash Clockworkmod Recovery it stays on the I9020a. The "install-recovery.sh" file does not exist on the I9020a. As far as I know this is unique to the I9020a, but I could be wrong.
I am far from an expert, but I hope this helps!

Agreed. I have been running stock rooted 2.3.4 since it became available and I haven't experienced any issues at all, even Google Talk Video has been working flawlessly over wifi (haven't tried GTalk on 3G yet).
I haven't experienced any unusual search button behaviour either, but I hardly use it.
Hi everyone! I switched from a sense based rom to a cm7 one and never got the chance to install a different radio. Now from my understanding: not all radios will work best for everyone?
Anywho, I was just wondering what affects that and ultimately what radio I should use? Thanks!

Basically try and see.
The OP mentions 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 as that's what they tested against. I'm using 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 and that seems to work about the same as the recommended one for me, I tried both.
Have a browse in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258543 as that's where you'll get most info on CM7.
i get 1 bar hardly all day and night and i was hoping there was something out there that would help me get more bars?
Also i am running trinity kernel and matrix rom. i have downloaded many roms and kernels and i havent found one that i can use as a daily i always get bored with it is there any roms or kernels you guys would suggest i use?
Try different radio's and see which is better for you.

If network sucks near you , no radio would help you !!!
Hello,
According to Radio thread ATT has 2.3.6 ROM (KK2) but majority of custom ROMs are using KJ version (2.3.4). Why is that?
Unrestricted band selection and removed data throttles mostly.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Having tried both, I can give my personal opinion that 2.3.5 based roms are much smoother and have better battery life than the 2.3.6 OTA KK1 update that was pulled. The way I see it, there's a reason AT&T pulled that update; it's probably a little unstable.
Good afternoon everyone...
I am on AOKP build 34, and it seems like my data speeds are slow no matter what ROM i use. I can't break 3-4mbps. What is the best radio to use in Ohio? Anyone know?
I am coming from a sgs2 that used to get 15mbps, sometimes even higher. So, I know we have GREAT speeds in this area...just not on this phone.
Thanks in advance
Flash a new radio onto it.

I am running baseband version 11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504.07_M which came with the latest ICS firmware...
Any idea which radio I should flash?

Well, you have TMOUS... Here in Phoenix it would be GREAT to see 15mbps!! Perhaps your sgs2 just got better signals...
try flashing the latest one from this forum post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
In addition to a different radio/RIL pair, you can also try either of the TMOUS customer radio add on components from the link near the top of the first post of the Sensation radio/RIL thread also considerately linked above by x_SCOS_x_ELITE.
3-4 mbps? That would be fantastic. I'm seeing .02-.2 mbps. Yeah, you read that correctly. As is 20 kbps. All while seeing the "4G" symbol on the phone. T-Mobile quotes "Fast" mobile internet speeds in my area.
For the OP, I'd definitely try updating your radio and ril to the latest listed in the quoted thread above. I did it today and it definitely helped my speeds.
For the poster above me, if that's all you're getting I'd try all of the above suggestions, that's SLOW

Problem with data is solved via ICS-OTA update, if you are S-off you can use this one http://www.wuala.com/LuckyThirteen/Elegancia/OTA Update/
I had the same problem as you do, but as soon as i flashed this file....my data is blazing fast

Would that file be included in all of the ICS ROMs out there, such as VI, CM9, or Hypersensation?

To be honest with you i dont know i PRESUME it will , i do know that LeeDroid tweaks have it included, my (Elegancia) does have it..
Well, I've been considering about rooting and using a custom ROM. That data speed increase may be the final reason to do it. Averaging 20 kbps is just really, really slow.
Yep most of the ICS custom roms have it, I used to average 1-3mbps, I am now at 7-9mbps in the same place testing
