I am an avid fan of both omfgb and cm7, but found omfgb to be more efficient in the data handoff since its release.
I live in an area with both 3g and 4g but also use wifi at work and home. Omfgb seems to handle the switching better, but its not perfect as we all know how difficult the ril merge is turning out to be.
My question is that now cm7 is using the gb radio, is the data switching better than its earlier builds and is it working better than omfgb. I will try a cm7 attempt but am interested from an anecdotal and technical perspective.

Slayher is working with xoomdev for their ril so they're similar minus what xoomdev did before he started talking to Slayher.. notice how they both started supporting MR2 radios at the same time because they'really working together

Yes, I've see their activity and am impressed. Aside from rom stability and features, does either rom have an advantage over the other with data handoff. I guess that is my question. I've tried cm7 in the past and found the there was too much manual switching of settings so I switched to omfgb and found that data handoff was better, but I am wondering how the new radio plays into things.

I guess ymmv, but I only had to toggle once after a reboot on CM7 with MR2, and my speeds are as fast as when I bought the phone.. I've heard stories both ways though so I guess it's dependent on you lol

There's been a lot of discussion about the low WiFi signal from most, if not all, of the Gingerbread builds. Many have speculated that it's simply a display issue and not a performance one.
My wife has a stock ROM (Froyo) and I have the GB build KH1. I did a test comparison of both the WiFi download speeds and the 4G performance.
The KH1 ROM *way* underperformed the Froyo one -- to the point where her stock ROM was at least 2-3x as fast as the KH1 build. 4G performed similarly. WiFi Analyzer also showed a huge difference in signal strength.
I then installed the KH2 modem and tried the same experiment and while it improved it somewhat, it was still woefully lacking in speed over the stock Froyo ROM.
With that said, has anyone found a prior modem build that works better than what's been released recently? This is a huge issue for me and while I love the GB build, to lose that much connectivity speed is troublesome.
There is a thread with all the modems on them, check the bible, you can flash each one to see which is best for you.

I don't think its a modem issue with gb. I've tried them all, wifi still sucks.

Yeah not much you can do here, there will be more leaks..as wifi is still horrible and unacceptable for such an expensive phone..samsung just have to get it right!!
Thanks for the info and confirmation. I was afraid that we'd have to wait for the CM7 release. I've tried several of the modem releases and nothing has worked any better.

I just jumped in neck deep and flashed the latest GB rom KII, Doc's new kernel and was surprised at my wifi speeds. before on stock froyo my wifi was sluggish and intermittent. Now as a matter of fact my whole phone is faster, very snappy. I'm very happy seems like I got a new phone with a duel core cpu
Thanks to all!

Cm7 with faux 0.4.3 kernel. Everything works. Bluetooth and apns are fixed. And its 2.3.7 gingerbread

You can download an app called getril from the market it will check
you're ril(radio interface layer) to see if it matches you're baseband and if not will also allow you to change it, its not custom ril's but will insure you have the right one.

CM7 stable with the morfic kernel is awesome! Ver. 2.3.7 and all components work fine except for small apn fallout but a hard reboot fixes that issue.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I have tried CM7 and Weapon. With CM7 I encountered problems with WiFi calling not working reliably (a hard reboot would fix this but I found myself having to do this often) and losing apns (I hear that this may be fixed now), so I finally gave up and tried Weapon G2x.
For me Weapon G2x has been rock solid and everything I need works. I have heard that some people have trouble with HDMI out at 1080p, but I have not used the HDMI port on the phone yet so cannot comment.
I have not tried EB.
I like Euroskanks CM7 kanged cherry pickings. Good stuff.
There are several threads regarding the V21Y baseband, but 99% of the posts concern release dates and installation instructions. For those of you who have flashed it, how do you like it so far?
Seems to give better battery life and better GPS lock on. That's what I have experienced with it. Too bad there's no custom ROMs yet
Gps is vastly superior, so is wifi calling is perfect so far. Everything else works better fine. Since I use both on a daily basis it is a great upgrade for me. I always had RIL issues before those are totally gone now.
I miss the customization of cyanogen, but full functionally wins over little stuff
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Don't know about the call quality, because I unfortunately have my service disabled at the moment (not being able to pay the bill tends to end in that)..
But everything else, this is by far my favorite so far. I haven't experienced any bugs that I was used to having, and GPS works far better than before (yes you can use GPS without cell service, if you don't mind not having the ability to download maps)...
Faster. Stable. And way better battery life

I think mine is a combination of the new baseband and Beats audio.. (if that effects the incall sound) but, if it does.. a combo of those two make my calls sound great. I used to have trouble hearing people cuz it sounded bad, but now it is better.

Did you flash the beats audio mod on stock 2.3.4? The latest worked fine or an older?
I think I flashed two. Don't think I noticed a difference on the newest one so tried to the old one. Left it at that and Now I feel like it shounds great. But it could be all in my imagination lol

Its good but its useless if I can't flash Cyanogenmod on it.
Everything is good. Just can't flash roms. First day on the stock rooted rom. Battery could be a bit better. In at 10 hours and 40% how can I improve this on the stcok rooted

It is so vastly superior to the old one it isn't funny. I can only speak for myself, but for the first time, I've not flashed anything since I got the leak. That's saying a lot, I used to flash 2 or 3 roms a day.

You missed the part where you can't flash anything over this otherwise your call audio goes into alien age.

to be fair, 21e was never good to me, but 21y has been superb past several days. I miss some of the customizations of cyanogen, but I would not give up the perfect GPS, better wifi stability, and flawless wifi calling..
GPS is now equal or better than my iPhone.
Of note, my peak 3g/4g speeds are lower, I used to occasionally see a
10 megabits down on old Ril, but now with 21y I seem stuck at 5 or 6 down but ...I get those speeds in more places... And TMobile ping is always better than ATt..and att is never faster than 5.5 megabits so....draw your own conclusions

This is saying a lot, you're all over the development section flashing things
I have read a couple comments in other threads that after a few days people started having some problems and had to factory reset (or something), has this happened to anyone?
For stock only rooted it does great. I removed some bloat. I don't see better battery. I found better battery using 21e and faux's ds kernels. It is by far the best stock rom I have used. I am sure I could get better battery out of it if I changed some setting like sync. Any one have a good list of things to change, set and remove? I am very please so far. Can't wait to see some custom Roms and kernels.
Sent from a phone... do you really need to know more?
So the new baseband just has better battery and GPS lock?
I'm here to discuss these 3 radios, want to hear people's experiences and thoughts on compatibility with ROMs and kernels.
My particular reason for interest is in flashing the King Kangers One .12 Kernel, my current radio (UCLK4) suddenly became (unknown) and my immediate thought was incompatibility, so I flashed UCLI3 back n I was all gravy. Now I wonder if re-flashing UCLK4 after the kernel would fix the problem. I also wonder if (assuming that its actually a compatibility issue) anyone can specify other incompatibilities for kernels and ROMs/versions, etc. Just want to learn and also hear from people about their personal takes on the development as a whole and expand my knowledge.
I do plenty of reading and we all know there's a bunch of stuff to read so covering all of it is difficult. Plus I'd love the opportunity to share the conversation and thoughts with you wonderful people as I progress
I'd like to express my thanks in advance to those who share with me.

ROM: CvD-Nibbles
Kernel: King Kangers One .12
Radio: UCLI3
Recovery: twrp2
Good topic and useful..I don't know why it didn't catch attention..!
Right? I even took the educated and respectable approach. Ahh well at least I didn't get flamed like this is a "best radio" post.
On topic: I have had best luck on CvD's Nibbles 1.5 using uclk4. Ucli3 was horrible and uclf6 was off and on. Haven't tried uclk4 on any other ROMs but cm10 I used ucli3 flawlessly and same on slim bean
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
You mean UCLC4 ? I heard about that radio being good from numerous people, isn't that an old radio came out with the first ice cream sandwich leak ? didn't try it to be honest but might do it someday..UCLF6 was fine with me in data and signal,UCLI3 is bad when it comes to calling and about the same on data..UCLL3 looks promising in both!
PS: Bell's radio MUGLH2 is good on signal and louder call volume..but it doesn't work with the jb leaked roms...
No its UCLK4, its built into aroma installer for CvD's Nibbles ROM. Its the newest leaked radio I believe. I might be wrong but I got the radio right. Seems to be pretty stable. With nibbles in particular it works the best as I said. But I did just read about UCLL3 and I got curious

There are no dumb questions. Just make sure you search first. You won't always find what you need so here goes helpwise. What sort of issues are you having, and what kernel/radio do you have. I'm guessing its all the baked in goodies but just to be sure list your issues and baseband so we can all put serious faces on and make noises like "hmmm" out loud and stare intently at the screen I'm still new to this but I catch on quick and I've been studying all these things. I love it when I can be helpful.
Happy New Year

Indeed a solid radio, and my current ROM as well, I just keep having the same issue. APN loss, so no connections. I don't know how it happens. Possible juice defender was the culprit. Haven't had it happen since that got unins. I did a few things though so I can't be sure.
