[Q] Lets stir the hornets nest - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I know I'm causing a problem here but I would like to hear the back and forth discussion and get opinion's of people who know.
The question is, given the parameters below, what do you think would be the best ROM, kernel, and modem for me? I know all of them are great in their own right. I just need you to play match maker and steer me towards the ones that best match what I need.
Galaxy S 4G / GB 2.3.6
T-Mobil provider
90% usage is for business, I install networks for new Hilton hotels.
I am quite often out of signal range or very weak ones. Hence the modem. I.E. basements, out in the sticks...
I spend a good amount of time in Canada (roaming charges).
I need WIFI calling to get around the roaming charges.
The rest of it is basic APP's like mail, camera, calculator and the like.

To the best of my knowledge, WiFi calling its only available with the stock based Roms. Antonx has a stripped down version of kj6 posted in here.

Yeah wifi calling will require you to use a stock or stock based rom. Since you're looking for a Gingerbread ROM I'd recommend checking out the wiki since those roms haven't been updated recently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/List_of_ROMs#Gingerbread
That list should be up to date for Gingerbread ROMs

I have seen that and downloaded several to my desktop just to have them on hand. I was looking at "Barebone" and "Valhalla Final". I'm digging thru XDA now to find as much as I can about them before I start asking stupid question.
I thought I would start small and install a new modem to see if I can improve the performance there. That sends me down another path of learning how to use Odin or Heimdal. That will take time to learn what type of file goes into each of the "Files" section of Odin.
Your posting of the snippet of code that explained what happens to the EFS folder during a flash really helped me understand that process. Now I need to learn the language and acronym's that are used.

Definitely have a look at the wiki then, we spent a good amount of time writing it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V
If you need modems you can check out my modems thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
You won't need odin/heimdall to flash these since I provided zips you can flash in your recovery, but it always helps to know odin/heimdall .
Make sure you read the instructions in the thread though.

I think valhalla final or valhalla or unnamed would be good for you. Beastmodes dknight prob has most features of gb roms but.. All are good. I like unnamed although barebones is stable as ****. Since u need wifi calling and all that. Lb6 modem seems to work good on ics and up. On gb u may have better results with kc1. This ia all a matter of opinion and results will vary drastically with location/environment/even cpu per phone is a lil diff. You should be good with any of those tho

Rackmonkey, if you arent upgrading to ics (above 2.3.6) then u just need to flash one of the non-padded modems. Personally i dont think you will get too much difference.. But some. Kc1 kb5 kd1 ki1 ki3. I use lb6. If u are deciding between barebones and vf... You really cant go wrong between the 2. They are prob the best two gb roms.

[Q] Best ROM avaliable for the Captivate at this time?

I am on Rogers and I recently got a Captivate I found the wiki site for the roms but I cant figure out which one would be the best one to use. So some insight into them would be great.
Molecule aosp 2. 2

If you want the fastest phone experience look at the i9000 roms with the setiron kernel, that kernel has every feature/tweak you'll ever need.
It depends a lot on what you mean by "Best." After reading a lot of the threads on different ROMs, I went with Cognition 2.4 because it had the feature set that matched my needs, and had the easiest installation method. It was also the only one I could find that used ClockworkMod exclusively and didn't require Odin. I don't have anything against Odin, but if I have an option to use one program or another exclusively, I'm going to go with that if for no other reason than less can go wrong.
There may be some that are faster, but even under stock, my Captivate was wicked fast. Cognition also seems to have a huge amount of support, more than the others I've seen.
I am not sure that you could classify one as being the "best". I have flashed a couple of the Cog builds and am now rocking the Tayutama rom. The Cog seems to be the most popular, but I am getting better function for what I want with the Tayutama. Don't mean I won't flash again, just gonna enjoy this one for a while.
I think any rom is going to vary from phone to phone. Some people have trouble flashing them, others experience gps issues, others have problems with bluetooth. I flash, use my phone normally, and if I run across a problem I look for a fix. I am sure there might be problems with my phone that I will never see (bluetooth for example) as there are probably many features I will never use.
Flash it. Use it. Dump it or keep it. Opinions are great, but it is going to be your experience with the rom that matters.
Basically anything but Cognition.
i9000 ROMs win any day.

For me, Cognition v2.2 b6. GPS works, Email and both Email and Browser works when switching between WiFi and 3G, and it's just clean, stable, and very reliable. The keyword is "for me". I do a lot of email, web browsing, SMS, MMS, photos, 720p videos, YouTube, [edit] plus MobileAP with friends who have no, or limited data plans [/edit] etc. Give it a shot if you're able to use it on Rogers.
Of the i9000 ROMs, only Raw Steel has fixed haptic on the home button, correct?

Thanks everybody for posting opinions on this. I still havent made a decision yet and I was kinda hoping to hear from somebody on Rogers but nobody came forward...ah well.
By best what I was getting at was pretty much most efficient rom (ie no/little lag) and fast speeds and inproving on the battery life of my phone.
Edit: So looking at some of the posts I can consider using ROMS that arent Rogers specific as well on my phone???

That part is definitely true. The ROM I'm using is not by any means carrier-specific. I can't speak for Rogers, but AT&T put a lot of crapware on my phone that I'm thankful to be without. I suppose if Rogers puts useful stuff on their phones, you'll need a Rogers-specific ROM, otherwise not. Only caveat I can think of is that it's good if you get a ROM that's Captivate-specific. There will be more internal consistency. For example, the i9000 has a front-facing camera that the Cappy doesn't.
Are froyo based roms fairly stable? I ask because I'm getting a Captivate for myself and a not-so-tech-literate family member, and I'd rather not have to deal with any additional problems. Should I flash one of the 2.1 based Cognition roms? Or Doc's 2.2 rom? Or something else entirely? Mainly looking for battery life improvements.
Cognitions 2.3b4 rom is absolutely incredible. EVERYTHING works! and its very fast. The fact that everything including the GPS works flawlessly is just amazing. I dunno if any other rom has been able to achieve that...

You may want to stick with the stock JH7 rom then. When I had it on my phone, that was the best battery life and best GPS performance I got. Now I'm running Cog 2.2B7 and it runs fine, although battery life is lacking and there is a little bit of lag from time to time, but all in all its solid. I love the fact that it has the mobile AP, which AT&T will be sure to strip out from their version of 2.2 when/if it ever comes out....
Couldn't disagree more. Cognition 2.3b3 has been a dream come true for my Captivate.
I have looked over many, Many boards today and am left with an impression that I should be able to go to Cognition 2.3b4 with ODIN, but not a One Touch ODIN.
I DLed Standalone ODIN and went to where the ROM file was downloadable. But when I go on in the process it is obvious I should be seeing a PIT.pit file and others to populate into the different areas of the ODIN interface... I can't find them in the download I have so far.
I have gone looking for these files or a zipped grouping of them, but no luck.
I think I am missing something simple in how this process should go.
Please help?
PS. I opted to NOT go with the ClockWorkMod route as it talks about only doing it if you have a previous version. The last time I did anything to the phone I did the leaked Froyo 2.2 ODIN One Click. That leaves me unsure if I meet the minimum requirements for the ClockWorkMod option. (Plus I don't have root.)
Thanx in advance for the help.

I got this from NorCal Einstein on another thread......
Cognition 2.3 Beta4 IS NOT ODIN FLASHABLE. Unless designgears releases a ODIN version to use with the stand-alone, you are not going to have success trying to use the CWM file with ODIN.
You don't have to flash via CWM while you are on Cognition, that's a mis-understanding. Personally, I flash my phone back to stock (JH6), and then use CWM to flash to Cognition. I don't know what you mean by minimum requirements for CWM option either...you have a Captivate right?...it works right?...you can run ClockWorkMod Recovery on your phone.
Bottom line: At this time, 2.3 Beta4 CANNOT be flashed using ODIN.
Just can't take it any more! I swore I'd wait until the official Froyo release before starting to flash custom ROMs but this thread has finally broken my resolve. Currently downloading one now and will flash tomorrow.

[Q] *NOOB* What is a modem?

Sorry for the nooby question, but i was wondering what a modem is. Right now im in ICBINB with Kf2. I want to flash a froyo theme but it is Kd1 and Kc1 only. Can someone please thoroughly explain to me the differences between modems and if it has anything to do with the firmware. I read that kf2 is gingerbread, but it doesn't affect the firmware. I am willing to clarify my question if needed. Thanks for your time guys!
I don't think there's really a need for a thorough explanation for this, so... A modem/radio is just what your phone uses to access the internet, make calls, etc. You use it for anything that would require a signal.
The performance of a modem will differ depending on many factors, such as location, time, etc. That's why we can flash different modems to get better reception and such. For example, ICBINB comes with a KD1 modem, but I flashed KG4 on it, because it has better reception and data speeds in my area.
Here's the link to the KB5, KC1, KD1, KF1, and KF2 modems (CWM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117331
Here's the link to the new KG4 modem (CWM):

Here's the link to all the modems in Odin format:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
I hope this helps you! Be sure to read the directions carefully!
Oh, i think i somewhat understand it now. Just to clarify, changing modems to test signal strength won't cause any damage to me phone? Thanks man appreciate it.
flashing a modem will not cause any damage to your phone. the performance of each modem is dependent on your location, so what i do is keep all of them on my sd card and should i lose signal, i switch it out and i usually find one that works where i am. modems are very useful in different situations.
Oh, perfect explanation! Thanks guys for the information!
No problem!
So far, I think KG4 gave everyone a slight boost in signal. Swap out your modems and go crazy, but just a heads up that KG4 is pretty awesome. Also, KB5 is supposed to have SMS problems and such. You can easily find the problems of the KB5 modem on Google, which were fixed in KD1.
Always jager555 and me (and others) trying to help the noobies out in the general section! I just happen to remember him, cause he always beats me to it, LOL! XD

Lol! Yup, always here to help.
If kb5 is your modern of choice, to fix the mms problem, remove the dashes on the phone number you are sending it to. Make sure it is only numbers in your address book. Of that doesn't work, add a 1 in front of the area code.

Yeah, it's most often referred to as the radio but, for whatever reason, they call it the modem in these SGS forums.
yea, the name changes, depending on the phone. its all the same reference
Might be Samsung's fault. They named their radio/modem update files modem.bin.

Need a 101 in flashing MIUI Please (Coming from Infused 2.3.3)

So I know, bits and pieces have been posted in the 20 threads or so, but I'm curious if someone can explain a couple things. I'm wanting to get away from Infused because I've had the slow network performance and lag many people have discussed, but the devs don't seem like they're interested in working those issues, which is a shame, because the whole "4G" on a "4G" speed phone is somewhat important, heeh.
I am on Infused 2.3.3 (so it's already converted the file system to the ext4 or whatever), and I'm on the latest UCKI3 radio.
1) How would I go about upgrading to MIUI? Since I've done all the steps to get Infused on, do I need to go back to the factory stock and then flash MIUI, or what's the best method of doing it? I want to make sure I get the full benefit like the network speed, etc.
2) What radio is built into the ROM? Do I also need to re-flash a radio?
3) Regarding kernels, I see some comments that I'd need to flash a new\better kernel to take full advantage of the network speeds and phone's features. Can I get a brief explanation and advice on this?
I wish there was a "MIUI 101" thread like most of the other ROMs have... makes it really easy to open and see the steps to install from the various methods and points from which it'd be installed, as well as FAQs to address questions like the ones I've posed above.
Thanks all for your help!
Bella
Hi Bella. There already is a FAQ for MIUI thread on this forum. There's already a MIUI Q&A for Infuse thread. You can head over there and leave your question there as it's more likely more people will view that thread than this one. Some people consider may consider this question "out of place" and won't even bother read/glance through/answer you're question.
I simply flashed MIUI like any other ROM. No need to go back to stock and then to MIUI.

[Q] help? wifi not working after installing Octane

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318704
hi-
I just installed Octane to my galaxy s 4g after much work, research and reading through these forums. Everything is working phenomenally, I'm running gingerbread, have screaming speeds, and fairly decent 4g data connection (confirmed) and my phone boots faster than I've ever seen it, awesome work.
The problem is that wifi is not working that well. The range is horrible and it will only connect to wireless G routers, and absolutely will not even connect to any N routers, it just simply scans, connects, scans, connects, etc....
I have tried multiple modem files, the default that comes with Octane (which I believe is KI3, I tried KF2, as well as KJ3, all with same results, and will be attempting KD2 next (the one that came stock on the phone, I believe), which I expect the same results as I was running the KJ3 modem prior to moving from stock rom to Octane, with no issues which tells me it's likely a problem with how the new rom handles N networks, but if anybody else here has an idea on how to fix this, I'm all ears.
Like I said, everything else is working just great, so I know the rom installed properly and even got gingerbread working, however is someone doesn't believe me that I actually can follow instructions, the links for the guides I followed are below.
Rooted, installed cwm
backed up my stock rom, settings, etc, twice using cwm (just to make sure) and backed all sd card contents up to computer
attempted install of octane per the forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305145
failed due to gingerbread migration issue, fixed per the gingerbread start up guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
and of course for completeness, I did read over/follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508 where applicable and had a nice look over the bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554 and a look over http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979109
and that, I believe encompasses about every useful and up-to-date bit of pertinent information that I could find, and remember using since this adventure has taken quite a bit of time over the last few days.
So, please don't ask any dumb obvious questions like "did you set the mounts properly" or "did you wipe the cache first", because I did, if I didn't the rom wouldn't even be working and I would have a different issue, and please don't flame me if this happened to have been answered 6 months ago on this forum, google and even this forum search can only do so much and I did make every reasonable effort to find an answer first. I may be new to these forums but not to technology...so thanks to all who are able and willing to offer any useful suggestions/advice.
Sorry, but that last part of your post was arrogant as hell. You should consider not putting that there if you want help next time. Most people that could help might just be put off by that.
On topic, wifi is a known issue on ask of the GB ROMs, which is why every leak practically has the question "how's wifi". We're still waiting for a leak with all problems solved.
thank you very much for your reply, that was exactly the type of information I was looking for.
As for sounding arrogant, I apologize and did consider that when writing and tried to make it sound less arrogant, problem is I have had more than my fair share of experience on these forums and I find it tends to waste a ton of time when people don't bother to read my post and ask me obvious questions, or just simply insult me by talking down to me like a kindergartener. Now I understand there's a lot of noobs on here and such, and I apologize for my frustrations in getting responses and any hurt feelings. Unfortunately I don't know any better way of getting across that I'm not an idiot, can use search and google, and can follow directions....
Glad I could help.
However, if you're super dependent on wifi, you should probably go back to Froyo instead. IMO, the speed difference in GB is worth the poor wifi signal (although my wifi doesn't seem to have problems).
That wasn't meant to be anything offensive to you, btw. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Unfortunately, some people here jump at the chance to flame.
yeah, I'll take the speed anyday, having my phone up and ready to go in 2-4 minutes versus the 15-20 it used to take is definitely worth it, and 4g is working well enough I can live with being stuck on 4g at one end of my house...
and yes, people love to flame, on xbox we call them telephone tough guys, all the same though, a hallmark of the internet since the early 90's, man that makes me feel old....
You could also try switching out modems to see which one would give you the best service too.
Pardon my lack of proficiency on the subject but what tools and or apps do you use to test the wifi on our phones? I hardly use it so I really haven't noticed any difference since flashing custom ROMs. I think the only time I connect is to use the Google TV remote app to interact with the TV. I understand testing with different routers for the B/G/N connections I was just curious what tools you use to measure signal strength and throughput?

Probably won't be any difference between modded and stock. Since the rom modders aren't modifying the modem.bin.
But going back to Froyo, you will notice a difference. It is much better there.
Wifi is probably the reason they haven't dropped GB source yet (amongst other stability issues).
[FIXED] wifi on galaxy s 4g fully working WITH gingerbread
IT WORKS, IT'S FIXED!!! WOOT!!!
yes, running gingerbread/octane on galaxy s 4g, have wifi on both N and G networks, secured with wpa/wpa2 psk. Typical setup in any home and it works!! not the strongest signal on the planet but I have access and screaming speeds (4g speeds are off the chain with this new rom compared to stock, better performance probably has everything to do with it)
so, yes, a router reboot and a couple modem file flashes later and viola, everything works.....using gingerbread. Would add a signature to show what I"m using if this site would let me, but for now I'll post it here:
Phone: samsung galaxy s 4g (SGH-T959V)
firmware version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: T959VUVKJ3
modem: KJ3
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build: Gingerbread.VUVKI3
Rom: octane v2.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305145
hint: if you choose to install the rom, be sure to install the gingerbread startup pack first!
from the above responses having wifi, 4g, and everything else working WITH a new rom and great performance has had an issue, I would like to say at this point everything is working great all around, no issues whatsoever. Total awesomsauce!

A simple question about wifi.

Hi everyone, i'm glad to see we are on official gingerbread now.
I wanted to know if anyone will be working on a cwm package (or something) to make previous GB roms have the wifi strength of froyo?
-I want to emphasize that i'm not asking for an eta. More so if this is possible and something that I just need to wait to be released.
-I'm running icbinb ki3 tweaked exactly how i like it with battery how i like it. I'd rather not flash stock 2.3.6 unless that's the only way to improve my wifi. If I only have to wait for a package that will improve it on ki3, then id rather do that.
So thanks for reading, dont flame if you can help it.

The short answer from me is that I don't know. I wish I had more insight into what changed between Froyo & GB to cause the wifi to weaken. Could be as simple as drivers, could be that's how they're saving power, etc. I know flashing the KJ6 modem file caused people to have a big of an improvement with wifi though not the same level of performance with Froyo. I also read a lot of people had issues sending big SMS messages with KJ6, so that might be something to be wary about.
Anyway, you could flash the KJ6 modem file to see if it helps. As for something to get it back on par with Froyo, I'll have to leave that to the experts around here.

To be honest, noone really knows exactly what the problem is.
But if you want to add the wifi properties of KJ6 to any ROM, which are way stronger than any previous GB build, you can refer to my thread in the development section. The mod I posted gives you the wifi of KJ6 without the modem. (Im currently using this mod with KI3 and my wifi is pretty darn good ATM ;p)
Look in dev section... possible fix posted earlier
