[Q] [question] HE modem and ROM choice

Firstly, sorry I had posted same question in (I don't know where). But I need to post it here in Verizon.
I have installed HE update, Rooted, Unlocked, IMEI backed up, Recovery installed.
#1 Do custom ROMS include the baseband or not? Meaning, does it override the HE I have installed?
#2 Do ROMS need to be specifically designed for HE baseband, for me to flash them and work properly?
Thanks.
PS I am waiting for the Milestone release of AOKP, how will I know if it is made for the HE, will mess up because of me having HE? Is it buried in the AOKP change log, or does the developer control that?

No and no

I may be wrong, but as far as I know, AOSP ROMs (including AOKP) don't build for a particular radio. Until we get an official Verizon TouchWiz jellybean update, the RIL and other networking tweaks in AOSP roms are made from scratch, and should work with any radio. Some radios may work better or worse for you with any given ROM, so you might as well try them all until you find the one that works best for you.

[Q] KT747 Kernel Question

Hi everyone,
Quick question. I've been searching the forums and dev section for a while now, and couldn't find a concrete answer, so I made an account to simply ask. If I am on the Verizon OTA JB update, 4.1.1, rooted with an unlocked bootloader, can I flash the KT747 Kernel without any adverse impacts? I am looking to keep my rom stock for usability (I used to flash all the time on my Droid X and stability issues were problems), but would like to increase performance via a modded kernel. I am just wanting to make sure, since the dev section says I need either JB AOSP or TW. I assume my stock OTA JB is TW?
Sorry for any naive questions. Thanks in advance!

Yes you can with custom recovery.

Ya you want the touchwiz kernel, here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/?ixn5n9xjnwbve8r

Thanks guys!
I flashed it and everything seems to be running perfectly fine. I will give it some time until I form an opinion, but I hope I can get the results that many others are reporting.

Rooting Question for New S3 User

I got my new black verizon s3 yesterday and i love it, buttery smooth. I was coming from a HTC Thunderbolt. I had rooted my thunderbolt, however since rooting that phone, i noticed that data connectivity didnt seem to be as stable as the non rooted version of that phone.
Here is my question, do you guys recommend rooting this S3 phone? Has it effected the data connectivity (dropped signals, etc)? Some advice and direction for this new S3 user would be helpful from some of you all who have been S3 users for a while. Thank you!

I would recommend rooting since there is a lot of support for the device. Data should be fine but there have been some problems either user related mistakes or bugs in a ROM. Those problems are fixable. Most of the ROMs are stable even the 4.2 ROMs.

i rooted and i think its worth it. it is easy to do and pretty low risk. I did mainly because i wanted to under clock and get better battery life. I haven't noticed any issues regarding loss of data or anything. i run into some issues at times because i try different kernals and roms that are not 100% in their stable phase. But the act of rooting itself isn't going to cause you any issues.

thanks guys, i am going to root the phone tonight after work. i browsed thru the rooting instructions for the jellybean update software (which i got when i activated my phone). I just didnt want to run into unstable data connections like i had with my thunderbolt.
Can you guys recommend any good 4.1 Roms as well as 4.2 roms? Also what is the difference between android 4.1 & 4.2?

It depends on the ROM as all 4.2 ROMs as of now are AOSP ROMs while the 4.1 ROMs are either TW based or AOSP based.

TW is ok... better then Sense IMO, however I like the stock ASOP feel. I will give a 4.2 rom a try. can you recommend a popular, 100% working 4.2 ROM? I looked in the dev section and there are so many Roms to choose from........ 24 hours of having my S3 and i LOVE it! so buttery smooth!

Blackbean 7 Is the most stable of the bunch as of now.

Ok. If you are going to root and Rom there are some things you need to know.
Your going to want to unlock your boot loader. And make an imei backup incase you lose it during a flash.
Search those up and get them done and your good to go

Do you mean Cm 10.1? Because if you flashed cm10 you're still on 4.1. Cm10 has a stable release while cm10.1 is still on nightlies. I've been running 10.1 nightlies for about a month and have only noticed very minor issues. So minor I can't even remember what they are.

Trying to find best ROM. Need GPS!

Question #1: GPS
I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which has been long rooted and I've installed a few roms now on it. Recently I upgraded to Revolt 4+ which is my first attempt to find a Jelly Bean ROM that will work for me. Well, I love it. Only problem is that it seems it doesn't have GPS? Google Maps work but Navigation doesn't follow me which I'm guessing means it's using internet to "find" me. There's no GPS flashing icons nor are there any settings for GPS. Is there anyway to get it working or is it just not working for this ROM?
Question #2: Aries?!
Many of the roms mention "Aries's common bugs" but google searching it gives me nothing. Where can I find information about Aries?
Question #3: The latest fully-working ROM?
There are soooo many ROMs to choose from for the SGS4G that I don't know what to look for. I found and have been using THIS page but not sure how outdated/accurate it is. Anybody know the best/most recommended ROM right now that has all the main parts working? GPS, WIFI...etc? I know wifi calling always has issues but not important.
:good: to anybody who is able to help with any of the above!

Hi.
#1 All JB ROMs (meaning 4.1.2 and above) have Aries kernel.
it is faster than Herrig kernel used before, and should be more stable, but, no developer was able to make GPS work with it. so, there's currently no JB ROM with a working GPS.
#2 If you want a working GPS you will need ICS (4.0.3/4.0.4) ROM :
CM9/AOKP/Slim/MIUI/Ultragen etc.
I'm a MIUI freak so I can say I love HebMIUI which is an upgraded MIUI version I came up with. you can try it (see my signature) or any of the others I mentioned.

Slight addendum to #1. Not entirely true. Some of the earlier JB ROMs were still Herring. The various 4.2 Wifi-bugs were on Herring. Any ROM where they tell you to do the 4.1.2 JB if you wanted Wifi, it's a Herring kernel. For that matter, I believe we've only had compiled 4.2.2 and above Aries here. So if the ROM is 4.1.2 JB, it's Herring. If it's 4.2.2 without working Wifi, it's probably Herring. If it's 4.2.2 with Wifi or 4.3, it's probably Aries.
Agree on ICS/GB for GPS though. HebMIUI or Ultragen 1.01 (DO NOT USE ULTRAGEN 1.00 AND POST BUG REPORTS) are probably your best ICS options.

THANK YOU both for clearing up alot of stuff for me. Thank you x2 for itzik2sh for recommending HebMIUI. I have it installed and I love it sofar. Hopefully somebody figures out JB GPS eventually.
I'll still check back here if anybody else has anything else to throw in.

No don't do it. Aosp kernels are for aosp based roms. Nkd is stock based, you will have to wait for a tw version of KT

Wondering if there is a way to get themes for this new twrp 2.8.2.0 version?

Love this Kernel!
ktoonsez, what Lollipop do you personally use or prefer for your S5?
(that I could use your Kernel with).

lollipop 5.0 touch wiz
Do u know when u will be able to build a kernel that will work on the sprint s5 touch wiz 5.0?

i can confirm that the kernel is working on touchwhiz and fusion rom 5.0 (sprint) with no boot problems or f.c's. etc.. thanks for the kernel

AOSP Lollipop 5.0 VERSION.
I assume your new kernel (above), will work on "[STOCK ROM][5.0] NKD Android L Odexed" ?
That rom is NKD based, your kernel is NL9 based.
I don't see a NL9 firmware we can flash onto our G900P.

Well I flashed:
Touchwiz Lollipop 5.0 VERSION: 01.03.2015
and now I can not connect to the camera with any camera app.

I apply the nightly builds of CM12 every day.
Do I need to re-install this kernel?

What ROM(s) are TouchWiz lollipop that will work on my kltespr? I see new kernels for TW 5.0, but what can I run this on?

Out of curiosity. How do scripts work. Why aren't there any in the shop?

Hey guys,
How do I flash the 09/01 kernel with CM12 20/01?
I've been running CM12 already but having the Bluetooth issues. I've downloaded KT-SGS5-LP5.0-AOSP-G900-01.09.2015.zip but when I go to flash it from recovery it says zip signature verification failed. Do I have to untick the verification?
Thanks.

hello,
just installed the newest kernel 2-11, thank you. I noticed one problem that I think is kernel related, but not to sure. when i open my camera app, it shows blue lines in the photo. i did not have this problem earlier today when I used the camera, weird. any opinion? i am currently running fusion 5.0 on OA6 with
thanks

Anyone have any issues with Private Mode not working after running KTweaker kernel

Dumb question can this run on MOAR 6.1 ?

Check out the MOAR FAQ. Yes, you can. You even had the option to install it when you flashed MOAR 6.1.

I just updated to version 9, dated 2/26. However, I'm unable to get any signals..... I had to go back to version dated 2/25.
Any ideas?

Problem with 2-26-2015 kernel - Modem stopped working (Sprint)
On the 2-26-2015 kernel, my phone modem would not connect to Sprint. This also prevented WIFI calling to work as well.
I had to revert back to the 2-25-2015 kernel.
When I flashed 2-26, I wiped dalvik/cache afterwards.
Anyone able to reproduce this?

I flashed 2/26/2015 and the phone was not getting any signal. It said that it kept telling me to insert a sim every time I tried to do something that needed the network. I also went back to 2/25/2015
