They're baseband things i understand but what do they actually do to your phone?
I just installed JK6 on my axura, hearing it gives good battery life.., but what is it doing?
im assuming that you're referring to the modems and not the ROM leaks or kernels.
Modem is responsible for data/cellular service, different versions of the modems have different optimizations. Some may be better than others for different reasons.
They are all leaks so there isn't a finalized version.

I noticed there hasnt been a new modem since 2/1, did they stop making modems? i think the current modems are great but im just curious
They don't release Modems by themselves. When there is a new leaked ROM by Samsung, some devs here rip out the modem part of it and post them separately from the ROM itself. There hasn't been a leaked ROM for the Vibrant in a long time, so there are no new modems.
Ok,
Meaning of "Perfect" is,
Every function runs like stock so even Stock GB Rom also out of consideration mentioned as "Perfect".
This tip is for ordinary novice users (like me) who are not dare to touch the system modification like our genius Dev's..
But still not verified for the safety, please read through what I did...for you to catch up for potential risk...
GB Rom and Froyo Custom rom (SD, Simple Streak, Streakin, LongHorn) are exception to be compared. My point is combination for Rom and baseband , not for judging which rom is better...
After knew that Official GB Rom also has a problem of running USSD Code (Which I cannot live without it to use Streak as a daily phone), I have tried to re-check which Froyo Rom is the best for daily use, of course with actual flashing all stock rom below from the beginning..
Stability was the most important and didn't care about Quadrant score but care about how snappy to use without lag and No SOD and random reboot absolutely.
Plus portrait Mod possibility (Because I need Streak Phone !!)
So, stock rom, root, No OVERCLOCK, V6 Supercharge script + SGS Touchscreen Booster.apk which can get from the market (free) was the major combination. This app was made for Samsing Galaxy S as I applied to Infuse 4G but worked well for our Streak and makes Streak's screen response very sensitive so you can visibly feel "Very Snappy".. NO NEED ROOT !
350 which is proven in Korea for no critical issue.(This is Olleh official rom).
354 which is well known to develop custom rom as a base by our dev's..
360 which is recommended by our one of dev (as I remember TheManii)..
366 which is latest Froyo Rom installed for SoftBank, Japan.
All Froyo Stock rom can be rooted with TheManii's [Guide]Rooting all stock roms the RIGHT way without any single problem.
All Froyo Rom can be locked for Portrait Mod with updated zip file you can find out from Dev, section EXCEPT 366 !!
If you flash to 350, when first boot... Streak will automatically inform you for OTA update to 407 Olleh GB rom through Dell Korea's website.
Can feel the better response slightly but not noticeably 350<354<360 but there is something special for 366 Softbank Rom.
After flashing 366 (of course with matching baseband which you can find out all from "Stock Rom and Baseband" which again TheManii created... (It seems that TheManii knows everything about Streak...)), first boot.., no Mobile signal at all if you are in GSM region because automatically WCDMA becomes default.
Here's something I found out....
As soon as change in "Network Mode" to "GSM only"..., strength of the signal becomes very, very strong !!!!!. + whole response of the steak become more snappy and faster...
My area's mobile signal is really bad.. that's why I can clearly notice this differences between 350/354/360 and 366.
One problem for using this rooted, V6 Supercharge scripted 366 Rom for daily is "CANNOT LOCK TO PORTRAIT MODE !!!" I searched XDA and Modaco and got all patch zip and flashed one by one but none of them worked for 366.
Suddenly I remembered that any Modem ( not mentioned as baseband in Samsung Galaxy forum but mentioned as a Modem ) can be flashed and changed regardless which custom rom or stock rom I am using... so I tried to find out best Modem for my region before for my Infuse 4G.
But what I catch up is,
Samsung's Rom has Modem and Bootloader (In the kernel) separately but Streak is not ???
My curiosity is here.
No matter what all Android system and bootloader is in the kernel. If baseband of Streak is similar to Samsung's Modem, why baseband affect whole system's stability ???
For Samsung Infuse,
Modem is very serious issue for battery life, speed of network as if network speed slow, whole system's overall speed becomes slow if device is on line..
So I decided to maintain 366 baseband on Streak and use Froyo Custom Rom at this time based on the result I got from Stock Rom + 366 baseband.
I didn't flash again other baseband (amss, dp1) to maintain 366's baseband (GAUSB1A136612-EU), wipe dalvik, cache, hard reset and restore my Nandroid backuped custom Froyo Rom. (Luckily I backuped and kept every single roms with same setting.)
If boot up, Softbank Logo shows up, not Dell Logo.... so I am sure I am on 366 baseband... but here's the thing. If streak's baseband is only modem, if I flash to other rom, Softbank's logo should not show up.
This means Streak's baseband is not just Modem... somewhat it is bootloader or something...
Maybe our dev's can verify about this clearly.... for our knowledge...
Anyway, after restore back..., very snappy and I cannot feel any lag with almost 150 apps installed. Confirm that totally different with flashing with matching baseband...
Now coming 3 days without any issue.... no SOD, no Reboot,...
Side by side with my Infuse 4G on overclocked 1.6Ghz custom rom..., amazingly Streak is more snappy and less lag when switch the screen..
Mobile signal is exceptionally strong !!!
So, if you are running on Froyo Rom, try to flash baseband to 366 BUT ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!! UNTIL OUR DEVS GIVE US TO CONFIRM IT WILL BE SAFE.... maybe it depends on region (Malaysia here...) maybe brick your Streak because of NOT MATCHING BASEBAND, DO NOT ASK ME TO DO SOMETHING AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED !!! I dare to take a risk for my Steak but not for your streak !!
I Hope our dev's can advice about this combination.... which will bring serious problem or not... At the moment.. ???
I have no single issue... and clearly made my mind to sale Infuse 4G and keep Streak... So my Infuse 4G sold without hesitation ~~~
Love my Streak !!!!
Now I just slide screen softly.. (yeah... really softly like wind), response is immediate without lag !!! I mean it, no lag at all....
Now, I am on LongHorn 1.4.2 overclocked 245.76/1036.8 on demand, 200 DPI, Portrait Mode on top of 366 baseband and will test other Froyo custom Rom (Streakin, SimpleStreak etc...) on top of 366 baseband with another Streak and post if there is something while keep on running above combination for a week to verify it will be safe...
But if Streak's baseband is related with bootloader, shoudn't flash 366 baseband to any GB Rom as I know.
Again, I believe our Devs knows about it so hope to get professional advice.
Nice streaking for all !!
P.S. : If above issue already discussed before... forgive me upload again...
I have searched but could not find out so I posted here...
My only comment on your entire thread is that the V6 scripts IN MY EXPERIENCE and in what I have read from other EXPERIENCED users, DO NOT WORK on the Streak, it's snake oil, a placebo, you think it's doing something, but it's not doing a damn thing, so you can do without it
Yeah, can feel the differecies..
I got same situation like you.
Cannot use Streak without USSD Code running.. because I am using as a daily phone, too.
I followed as you did and I can feel clearly my streak becomes more response, to make sure about it, I don't install Sgs Touchscreen Booster and V6 Supercharger but obviously Signal becomes very strong and becomes more snappy than ran on matched baseband...
Anyway, can I use any OC kernel with 366 stock rom ????
Thanks for the tip and continue testing...
Hi there,, I m from malaysia and on digi as well, I m using dsc .64 at the moment, any suggestion baseband? Thanks in advance.cheers.
I have tried 405 / 406 baseband on DSC Rom with DiGi / Celcom / Maxis / U Mobile but could not get any differences..
So far, 366 baseband is most strong but this is baseband for Froyo so SHOULD NOT FLASH on GB Rom until being verified by professional...
I am figuring out why Streak should use baseband matched to the Rom as Samsung's all devices, Motorola Milestone have no problem to flash different "Modem" regardless what Rom on the device and this modem affects battery life and network performance.
I am suspecting flashing baseband of Steak is not just flashing "Modem" but flashing "Bootloader", too. If this is true, CANNOT flash Froyo's baseband on GB Rom.
Anyway, I want to try to flash 366 baseband on DSC after checking something and will post the result....

Well you can forget that. The Streak is not like the rest where the "radio" sync files are completely independant from most everything else. They are an integral part of how the rest of the ROM behaves. If you flash a FROYO baseband to a GB ROM you will constantly have LEDs flashing, wifi and 3G problems and may not even be able to charge battery to 100%, but if you had done a little more reading then you would already know all this...
I'm still on 4.3 MJE build, stock and rooted. OTA didn't work for me (which I'm glad it didn't) so I looked into flashing the leaked rom when my computer crapped out so wanted to wait until I got things fixed until I can start screwing around with the phone again.
Now this I have it working again I came onto here and saw that so much has happened since then, so can someone just point me in the right direction to where I should be at? Which rom (something stock), build, radio, version of safestrap (I'm still on 4.3).
I've never used safestrap, only used clockworkmod so this is different for me but I'm sure I can figure it out, just need to know where to start off.
Thanks!

This thread should get you up to speed on the latest firmware, and you'll be able to flash any kitkit rom built off of NC2 or NC4.
To clear up any confusion, from what I've read and have come to understand is that NC2 is the leaked bootloader & kernel, while NC4 is the official. The NC2 bootloader allows you to flash backwards to MJE while the NC4 does not. The NC2 kernel is also unique with features I could try to explain, but barely understand at the moment. The other thing to know is that the NC2 kernel can be flashed over the NC4 bootloader (which is considered the unified firmware). That is what is needed for most of the kitkat roms.
If you don't care to go back to MJE, the quickest method to get up and running would be to flash the NC4 stock tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524572, and follow the instructions in the previous post as rooting with TowelRoot takes literally seconds. The only thing you lose on the NC4 bootloader is the ability to flash backwards to MJE.
Now as for modems there are many threads around that talk about which one is best. Unfortunately this may depend on your device. Many people have reported very poor reception and download speeds on NC2/NC4 and have flashed the MJE modem reporting a fix or moderate fix. Others have reported signals and speeds better on NC4 than previous. Some think it has to do with NC2 bootloader being that it is unofficial, and some think it has to do with the release version of the phone as people with recent phones report great signal and speed. The other possible factor may have to do with Verizon's simultaneous upgrade to XLTE in some areas at the same time as the kitkat release. From my experience being on NC4 with NC2 kernel (by choice), I have no worse speeds and LTE in places I only used to get 3G. However, I have modded settings in Service Mode, so that may have effected things.
If you're considering roms after getting all set up check out these:
Jasmine Rom 1.8 Very clean, optimized stock rom with some S5 features. (2.0 is considered a beta by the Dev. He is wotking on 2.1. It is a full Galaxy S5 Ported rom.)
Eclipse Rom As close to AOSP as we will get without an unlocked bootloader. Excellent battery life.
Objective Rom Barebones, extremely debloated. Light, stable, add only what you use. (If you want any of the Samsung apps this is not for you as TouchWiz has been removed and many S apps require TW or Magazines to function.)

Thanks for the input! This is where I was getting confused, I was coming across so many posts where people were saying NC4 was slow and to stick with NC2, and some people were saying it was great. There was too much going back and forth I didn't know where to begin especially since the last time I was able to get on xda just the leak was available and everyone was happy.
I'll check out the NC2 first then go from there.
Thanks for the help!
My pleasure, glad I could help.
OK so I'm coming from the galaxy note 1 which I had no problems with due to the unlocked bootloader I presume and. I've been trying to figure out things on my own but I'm having trouble finding reliable information on some things and some other stuff I just don't know how to research even 1/10th as fast as asking about here. Any help or links to info are greatly appreciated. So I grabbed sm-n900v and not sure what may have changed since rooting installing SS and flashing alliance rom but rest of current info is kit Kat 4.4.2, N900VVRUCNC4, kernel version 3.4.0, hardware version N900v.07. Now the phone is unlocked and I'm using it on AT&T, I've got it all working with only couple issues. First I can't get any roms except alliance rom to work which is apparently related to kernel, baseband, firmware, or god knows. Then I've read some threads discussing either unified firmware or a leaked firmware being ideal and some stuff about certain modems/bootloaders/radios/firmwares/recoveries being better between NC2 and NC4 and even combinations working best I've followed some guides to just installing other roms but they don't work for me and have resulted in soft bricking so now I just need an full answer all in one instead of trying to figure it out from so many different sources. What modem/radio/bootloader/recovery/firmware/kernel should I be using to try out some roms keeping in mind I'm with ATT. Also should I be looking at ATT roms I assumed not to but figured worth asking. Also any other recommendations would be great I'm really just wanting a slim, stable, fast experience thanks for any help again.

Some use Verizon roms on att and t Mobil for roms on NC4 you need to Odin NC2 try looking up some instructions it helps. Safe strap is what you can use for recovery have busy box it's needed for it to work. Modems is for your signal I wouldn't bother. Firmwares are for ppl wanting to go back to stock mostly ect. But I'm sure the step you skipped was getting NC2 on there. Be careful before you do anything make sure your 100 percent sure or you can't have a bad day.

Hi guys, for a few years now with my Samsung devices I have never really understood what basebands or modems are the latest or what I should have, or what is compatible with anything else, or what is upgradeable/downgradeable, or what is best etc, and I have always had a lot of trouble finding out for myself without asking on forums, is there any sort of guide for this stuff? or any rule of thumb? any breakdown of the baseband name? same for modems, right now I have an N910G on 5.0.1 completely stock rom just rooted with N910GDTU1BOE2 base, how do I know if that's compatible with whatever rom I want? does that affect all of the installed roms if I dual/multi boot? is it safe to upgrade/downgrade at any time? thanks for any advice.
