Best radio/modem version for cm10 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

What's the best working modem for cm10? I've heard a lot of complaints so I wanna know what the best results you have been getting.

I don't think there is a "best" modem for CM10. From what I understand, it depends on your actual device, your distance from towers and your usage patterns (e.g. how often you hop from 3G to 4G). I could tell you my limited experience with various modems and CM10, but it could prove to be unhelpful for your specific case. That said, the G7 modem worked better for me on both AOSP and JB/TW roms. I live in a cellular blackhole and my phone bounces between basic phone service coverage to 3G to 4G. When I was using the latest modem (K1 I think) and an AOSP rom, I don't think I ever saw my phone get a lock on 4G. And TW roms would always say "Network Extender" (instead of Verizon Wireless) on the lock screen.
In short, try 'em out for a day or two and see which one works best for you.

Every radio/modem is going to give every single user a different experience. There is no single "best" one because everybody gets various results. What's "best" for me may not be "best" for you. Only advice i can give you is to try out different ones and if you find that gives you really good results then stick with it, there's no reason to fix something that ain't broken

Okay. Thanks both of you! I live in a cellular black hole too and am very surprised I get to send texts at all because its just my phone,my bros iPhone, and Motorola phones that even get service in my house. I'll try swapping them around a bit starting with the factory one and ending with newest. Thanks!

The size of modem.bin in both the files (UCKE3 and UCKD5) is the same -- 15,728,640 bytes.
Am not sure if all modem files are the same size or not, so putting this across to confirm myself that these two are what they are though the size is the same.

Cos some hardware gets better performance on certain radios. And many, if not all, love to experiment with different modems to see what suits them best. I love one with more battery compared to one with more speed.

I didn't yet. I was waiting for these CWM flashable files. I'll slowly flash these over time n let u know. And remember, after flashing a radio, give atleast about a week's time before u try to guage battery life.

They're both AT&T modems, the Infuse has never been sold by any other carrier. (That is going to change Tuesday...)
As to them both being the same size, that's common for partition/PROM/firmware raw images. They ARE different - different md5sums.
so what is the difference between the two?

Has anyone checked if there are differences beyond version strings? Then again, I don't see why you'd bother to recompile a modem to release a new firmware unless the modem had changes as well..
Just wanted to say that I've been waiting for new modems to try as the UCKE3 I was using was pretty poor in 3G performance. Where my old Captivate was getting solid 3G signals most of the time, for some reason I wasn't getting the same with the KE3 modem on my Infuse in the same locations and I was somewhat often getting only edge or no signal at all.
Having tried UCKD5 for a little bit, it seems like download speed is better and signal is much more solid so far. Need to do more testing, but I like it alot so far.

Pretty much not possible without major decompiler/disassembler experience.
The radios might even be encrypted.
Most likely E3 has a bunch of bugfixes not present in D5 since it's newer.

Flashed UCKD5 modem
The building I work in is notorious for killing the signal. I flashed the UCKD5 modem yesterday and so far it seems that I have better signal than with UCKE3. Will run this modem for a few days more then will try the other. I sometimes wonder what I'd accomplish if I weren't a phone junkie

What radio?

There are so many topics and discussions on this...is there one radio that is actually better than others based on my phone, location, and other things? I have the nexus s 3g on Tmobile in Ohio...thanks!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
hmmm , i am not in USA, so i can not tell you which radio is better
but only someone who lives same location as you who can tell you , but OHIO is not small place ...
so , you should try it yourself, personal ideal , newest might be better , such as XXKF1 for me is better then others.
Is radio flashing done through Odin in the phone portion? Been thinking of doing this to try and find a more stable radio. Playing battlefield is impossible. My ping bounces around way too much. Wish it would stay at a steady 90.

[Q] Best rom for service ONLY all other variables aside?

First off I apologize if there is another thread about this but all I found when searching was a general "best rom", and one related to battery life.
Personally I would like to know opinions on best rom for connectivity only. I live in a strong 4G area but whenever I am in my basement I get spotty connectivity, drop calls and such. I have been on the CM10 nightlies crack flashing since the boot-loader was unlocked. I love CM10 just wondering for basic call quality, does someone have a different rom preference for call quality?
Again mods I apologize if this is out there... but i couldn't find one for call quality. I realize this all depends on the baseband and such which Samsung is infamous for theirs. I just feel like even a slight better signal would make a big difference for me considering generally it's good connection.
Also my office is in my basement and I make a lot of calls and I'd prefer to keep it that way if possible.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
I'd actually like to know this as well. I recently switched from using an iphone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and the difference with this phone is there are so many different roms available, I don't know which one is the best whereas with the iphone there is usually 1 main jailbreak and everything else is provided by cydia.
Like you said, this mainly is based on the radio and not on the Rom, but i agree there could be some minor differences. Your best bet would be to try a couple out and see how they work in your office. I personally am running jellywiz and my signal is rock sold and i work in low signal areas a lot.

If you search the forum there is actually a main thread for best rom overall which may help you more since it doesn't seem your only concern is call quality. Sorry I don't have the thread name but I think if you do a forum search for "best rom" you should be able to find that thread.

I actually planned on doing that and testing them out on my own, I was just hoping someone may have some tips on one they have used in areas such as a basement or a place they know they haven't always gotten good service but have found a rom that works great for them as far as call quality. Such as your example of jellywiz, I will certainly give that a try and see if I can hold a higher consistency for call quality. Thanks for your input!
There are definetly differences between ROMs relative to battery life... different versions of the same ROM can be quite different.
I've been using Jellywiz as my DD and it's been great. I really liked RLS4. I've updated to RLS5 this morning but my battery life has declined greatly. I've also gotten one reboot. I'm sure the dev will have it fixed in the next release (the Devs on the Jellywiz project are top notch).
I also liked Synergy quite a lot... It's not Jelly Bean, but the battery life was great and very stable!
The best thing you can do is try several different ones... Let the ROM settle for a good day or two before coming to any conclusions...
Good luck...

Without getting too granular, stock based roms have the best reception. Rom's where the RIL has had to be tweaked, such as CM, MIUI, JellyBean ports, and cross carrier ports are more likely to have radio issues.
Then, there are different radios you could flash. In my experience with many devices, changing radios has never had much of an impact on radio reception. Different radio versions generally fix bugs, and things like 3g/4g switching. For instance the latest stock radio for our device (VRLG7) fixes the "no SIM" bug. I am using that and it has worked great for me.
Generally though, I don't think actual reception (mostly dependent on hardware) should vary too much. Usually it's reliability that can vary. "Bars" aren't always an accurate indicator of reception either, signal strength in dBm is.

Sorry... I got lost in an unrelated thought (battery life)....
The service side appears to be pretty sold from the ROMs that I've personally tried. Not sure you'll find a big difference here in real world performance.
CodefireX is getting me the best service I've ever had. Several other people in the thread seem to be experiencing the same thing.

I have not seen the 4G indicator since flashing a week or more ago. I have tried aokp, cm10, and root66.
Not sure what to do. The phone works fine otherwise. All these are great but I would never have gone this route if I had any thought that wireless capabilities would be reduced. Any ideas on how to return to 4G would be greatly appreciated.
Out of all the 4.1 roms out there, JellyWiz's wifi/4G/3g is the most solid one. Very stable and good enough to be a DD.

It's kinda hit or miss. I flashed the HD radio and don't really notice any difference... but that's just me. You gotta try them yourself to see which works.

I've tried three radios from rootzwiki and haven't noticed a difference with either one of them. Im currently running the HD one
Tap'n
Same here. Have to try them all. Not much difference on 4G although I did pick up a couple dBm on HD. May see biggest difference in 3G depending on how old the tower is. 4G towers are newer upgrades so most are pretty much the same on either band.
I could not make a call in my shop with all of the radios except for the HD one. A clear standout for me. (Boston area if that helps)

Comparing four s3's from three different radios, all the exact same no matter where I take them in my area.
I feel like my battery is crap but that may be because of aokp. But the HD modem is nice.

I have been running the HD with both JB and ICS ROMs and have alway had good signal in both 3g and LTE.
I have tried them all as well. What I have noticed is this, the G7 radio worked better for me after my phone was updated to the G7 base. I tried flashing just the radio and it didn't make a difference at all. I then read Dev Scott C.'s take on how these radios depended on part of the software in the base for them to work properly. No mixing and matching, use the radio to match the base that you are on. I can only say that he is correct with the testing that I did on my phone. Try it for yourself and see, I am curious to see how many just swapped radios and stayed on the same base.

I'm prone to agree with this.
I noticed a nice improvement when I went from G1 to G7 with both Baseband and Build Version. But when I only updated the Baseband from G7 to HD and not the Build Version, I didn't really see any improvement in performance out of my device.
In my experience G7 gave better 3/4G speeds but HD gave me much better batterylife. The G7 had my battery discharging like mad.
I just flashed HD with CWM and went from -90 to -78 on 3g. I don't have 4g in my area, so I can't give updates on that. I'm on CODENAMEandroid 3.6.0.

In my case, one phone is still on G1, the other two took the update to G7 (no flashing, just complete ota). My phone is on HD, but as I said earlier, side by side they are all identical - that's traveling all over Utah and southern Nevada. That doesn't necessarily mean the same thing for any other area - also I did not compare battery life (too many variables) so I have no idea there.
Overall though, it doesn't hurt to try a new radio if you are not sure.
Hd radio and haven't experienced any drops of radio since. 3 days uptime.

Best AOSP solution (so far)

I'd like to discuss and compare the different AOSP solutions currently available. From what I can see, GPE is the only AOSP rom with a fully functional camera (dual lens) and other HTC features (dot view). However, GPE has the roaming issue (which is somewhat minor, but I'm really OCD about having my roms be 100% stable if I'm going to put all the work into making my daily driver).
I know there are LiquidSmooth, Vanir, CM etc... but from what I can gather these do not have a fully functional camera (dual lens) and are missing some fundamental things or are not completely stable (encryption? other minor issues).
Is there a fully operational, bulletproof daily driver setup as AOSP? I use my phone for both work and personal use. I have a lot of mission-critical things I do for work (remote meetings, etc), so little nitpicky things like "no data while on call" are really not acceptable.
For now, I am using CleanROM and it is amazing/stable and I am very happy with it. However, I am always going to be an AOSP lover and would like to return to using it as my daily driver.
I realize all of this info is out there, but it would be nice to have an ongoing discussion about different people's experiences and maybe give me enough confidence to go all-in on one of the AOSP options available.
Any input is greatly appreciated. Also, if there are any other threads that have a similar discussion please link, I could not find any. THANKS!!!!

Bummer. Well, hopefully others can share any insight as to which ROM is closest or when one is expected to be daily-driver ready. :good:
Well LiquidSmooth squashed the encryption bug and most others. I'm not sure the fault in LiquidSmooth except it won't use the dual lens. But it never will and I personally could care less. It's gimmicky at best. GPE is the best bet for you. The roaming thing is fixed in that it no longer shows the R. I can't find a flaw in GPE.

The roaming issue isn't fixed yet. It has just been modified to say that you aren't roaming, the phone still thinks that it is.

If you aren't worried about adding some after affects to your photos then no, It's used for depth.
I have been running 6/11 GPE and if you want to get away from Sense, it is currently the most stable and everything works including the duo cameras. They know how to fix the "roaming" issue but the dev needs to modify multiple files. They have corrected the displays to show LTE but you still must enable data roaming at this time. Other then that, GPE has been rock solid for me.
Did CM/AOSP devs figure out why WiFi would not stick for many of us? That is what made me make the move to GPE.

Roaming issue is significant. If you accidentally drive to a place where you're on roaming, you're screwed big time.

There is no roaming issue. The phone is not roaming. It just "thinks" it is. No one would be running GPE if you were actually "roaming"

I think he means that since you must enable roaming in settings, if you were to drive into an area where you phone would typically prompt to roam it will go ahead and start roaming since it is told to in settings.

Yea. That's what I meant, thanks! If you accidentally go into a roaming area and use hundreds of dollars worth of data, Verizon will never waive that as you clicked the disclaimer.

Good point. Where I live VZ is EVERYWHERE but that will not be the case for some.
Does Verizon even have roaming charges for data anywhere in the US? I'm pretty sure the only time you might end up roaming is internationally.

GPE
The Google Play Edition ROM might have the dual camera - I had it the other day but the camera was buggy (probably because I disabled some system apps I did not want).
Paranoid Android has been the most the most stable for me ATM running skyfall tho. But your never gonna get the duo camera in aosp since it's a sense feature. Google play editions has the duo camera cuz it's not aosp.

Ah, I guess I never really thought of GPE as non-AOSP. It's very very close, but nonetheless a "modified" AOSP, which means it's not AOSP... correct?

I've been using Cyanogenmod daily for a few weeks. I work for a large rental car company as a manager. Exchange and all the work related stuff works great, the ROM is very stable. I installed mine with PA micro modular GAPPS, so it has a small footprint. It's really fast. In fact the only thing not working for me is the speakerphone. The caller ID works better, the bluetooth connects much faster than Sense, works flawlessly with any car I pair it to. I think around 20 different cars in 2 weeks. The Wifi forgot the password at home once and never again. I have Clean ROM as my back up as well, but I haven't used it since last Friday, I like CM better.
Ask any questions you like.
