I have been trying out a few ROMs and it seems the WiFi on the jelly bean ROMs are weak compared to ICS roms. Has anyone had this problem.

I've used Bruce's CM10 builds and recently switching to the official Cyanogen CM10 builds. Last week I tried out Nikez's JB 4.2 AOSP build. I had great wifi on all of them. Like satndin gout in my front yard with the wifi router in the basement in the back of my house good. So it's not the ROM itself. (Though it could be a combination of the ROM and some app or mod you're running)
You might have a weak connection on the wifi anteneas inside the back case of the phone. Take the back cover off, look at the gold pins on the phone, and make sure they are all raised up. You can take a tiny screw driver and pry them up a little more to make sure they are getting good contact with the back cover (which is the antenea). Juts be VERY careful when doing it.
It might not help, but it's a cheap thing to try.
I have tried that too but its strange I can switch to a ICS ROM and I will have full bars in my whole house but with the jelly bean ROMs its one or two bars unless I'm right next to it.

I've got some WiFi tweaks in my kernel that might help. My kernel, Sultan, has the WiFi voltage increased to the max and it has some WiFi signal parameters altered at the kernel level so WiFi networks with weaker signal can be seen. If my kernel doesn't really help then I can build a kernel just for you that forces the system to use the BCM4329 WiFi driver instead of the BCMDHD WiFi driver; that may help. BTW, if you download my kernel then make sure you download the one for Jelly Bean and not the one for Sense.
I tried your kernel and my WiFi is still weak compared to ICS but does seem a little stronger
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
This is a confirmed issue, its not kernel related, because even with the kernels with improved wifi voltage (which is more voltage than stock), its still a weaker signal than on an ICS based rom.

Is it an issue with proprietary drivers/code or a issue with JB itself?
I tried two different ones but both the same still weak WiFi ... I am new to HTC so I might not be wiping something right but anyways what kind of recovery should I use and what should be wiped every time I flash a new ROM

most users who are S-ON(like me) 4ext has a feature which calls smartflash
before flashing any rom you have to enable smartflash before flashing(if you are S-ON)
and then flash the rom
for S-ON devices it is one way to boot a rom after installation
if you are S-OFF you don't need that feature
So if I'm s off then ext4 isn't really a must have for me

4ext was really buggy for me. 1 of the many bugs I experienced with 4ext was that sometimes after flashing a kernel the phone would get stuck at the HTC screen and I would have t use fastboot to flash a boot.img file in order to get my phone to boot; flashing another kernel in the recovery didn't work and it would still be stuck at the HTC screen -_- If you have S-OFF then use TWRP. Just my 2 cents.

thanks to hrkfdn and Kali for getting this done so we can use CM7.
I just built the kernel from their source and packed it.
Install CM7
Flash google apps right after CM7
Flash this kernel right after flashing GAPPS
Don't ask questions here - it's clear what to do. If you dont know, read about cm7 in the DHD CM7 threads, not here.

I've noticed on the CM website there are nighty builds for CM9 being released relatively frequently. My question is that are these more advance than the stable CM9 releases? Or are they beta builds for CM10? If so, why aren't they labelled CM10?
That's because there not cm10. They haven't even started to release one build so they won't be.
Nightlies are more stable then the stable build
Your so called stable build is just a label. It's just another nightly

Two reasons I think. Both of which make me sound like a wimp by the way.
I don't want to venture away too much from aosp and I don't have the technical knowledge to see what the main differences are with the variations.
Also because I've only installed two roms, both have been CM ones and I'm too cautious to try something new!

There's like nothing wrong in trying in the other roms. If something is wrong with them then just restore your backup

True. I just don't like having to install all apps again etc. Plus all of my apps are installed on my SD card (the ones that allow anyway) so I hate having to format my SD card to get rid of all unnecessary stuff (I'm ocd about that!).
I will start being more experimental I think though. Its the only way forward!

ROM Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup works pretty well in restoring non-system apps across ROM changes but not sure how it handles apps moved to SD card.
If you restore ROM from nandroid backup, it will be like nothing has really changed. It's worth trying different ROM's given different optimized ROM's and even different kernels are out there. Or Bruce CM10 which is pretty awesome.
I've heard nothing but good things about Bruce's ROM so I think I may head over there. One of the things stopping me is that there are so many updates being released for it all of the time I feel I should keep waiting!
Thanks for all of the advice guys.

Updates are awesome. I could hardly notice difference between updates but I like keeping my phone updated.
Best thing you can just flash new update on top of whatever you have no need to wipe even cache. Totally effortless.
If it fails, flash previous ROM.
I wasn't aware it was that easy. Thanks for the information. When I get time I am definitely gonna give it a go.

Wipe Dalvik and Cache only, then install. (You might not even have to do that, but I don't know if the CM9 install scripts wipe those for you.)
When it boots everything will be just like you left it.
That's ONLY if you are upgrading to the newest Cm9 build.
If you want to go to any CM10 builds do a full wipe first.
If everything is going to be as I left it (apps, settings etc) I will try the latest cm9 before I try cm10.
Many thanks.

I'd check your APN settings. As for the guy above you, it sounds like he is complaining about the normal stock radio performance. For some reason, HTC seems to think it's OK for the signal indicator to bounce around like crazy...Try making a backup and flashing another ROM like CM10 and you'll probably see it go away.

Hi,
not sure if this has been discussed here or not,
so i have a simple and easy question. I currently use a rooted Verizon 32gb Xoom, with a 4.1.2 CM10 rom installed by Rom Manager.
I do not ever plan to use the Verizon hardware and software in the future, is there a way to completely remove the Verizon software,
so that I can kinda convert this Xoom into a wifi only model ?
Is there a problem doing this that you can think of ?
can I just flash a different modem with cwmr ?
I really despise Verizon and do not want to see the 3g signal meter in the notification panel.
i know it sounds a lil whiney, but i do want to know, what it would take to disable any verizon functionality.
thanks in advance,
Use LAIOT Linux to install Stock MZ604 ROM, then root again and blah blah blah. Else you can try installing AOSP ROM.
Both links on my signature (better saying, 7Heavens have all it and more )
"This Story Ends Where It Began"
I keep mine in airplane mode and just turn on wifi. I never see the 3G icon. I've been doing this for over six months now. I originally did this because I was afraid verizon would try to disable my Xoom. I figured if it never connected to their network that I'd be safe.

I'm on 1.09 hboot and after I switched From liquidsmooth Rom to viper, viper wouldn't boot. I actually has to flash kernel separately. And instead of the viper boot screen liquid smooth screen kept popping up. The Rom would boot but crash and reboot once I tried to do anything with the phone.. so maybe try flashing a sense kernel after Rom install regardless of your hboot. Also make sure you wipe everything venomtester said

"System reboots on Sense" is almost always "out of date firmware".
You need to flash a firmware.zip for Jellybean ROM's.
There is one floating about in the ViperXL thread that contains a few things you need and avoids things like hboot 2.14 etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236
"WiFi Partition Updates".
The other way to do it is to get a first round 3.17/3.18 ota and flash the firmware.zip in RUU mode.
I say first round as many carriers are now onto their second 3.17 and they are not complete firmware.zip and lack many of the firmware files.
The first round ones are all complete.
