Best ROM for wireless data?

Cyanogenmod 7 never got great wireless data in comparison to the stock rom, but it's to be expected as cm7 is AOSP.
Are there any roms that would get similar wireless strength? Maybe a pure sense rom or something (I really like it) The only reason I haven't used one like royalginger is because i saw that it's based on cm7... so basic features would probably work just as well as cm7.
Would also be nice if GPS worked well on said rom. It works fine in stock but once again, cm7 has issues with it.

I find miui to be the best. Wifi works great and my data speeds on T-Mobile network are as expected...but to each his own.

Evil 4G-HD. Data is solid and GPS works great. Plus you get the pure SENSE experience.

Wanna give my aosp 1.0.6 a try... I specifically tweaked for network performance. I just want some feedback

Random Service lost and reboots!!

Please help!!! I'm using a Mytouch 4g with CM7.02 with faux cm csf stock power smartass kernal. I keep getting random reboots, like three + a day, mostly while my phone is locked and sleeping. Plus I keep losing service completely!! I live in PITTSBURGH, SO I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE 4G. So its not a signal issue. It happens while my phone is asleep mostly but it does it too while I'm using it. It usually only last a minute before it comes back but today it was gone for bout an hour till I restarted my phone. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Relayed from Tofer's CM7 final v2 MyTouch 4g now with BluMagic theme! Go Steelers!!

What's your frequency set at?

Is easy to fix = Install Leak GB rom, lates radio and your set
I try trobleshot for 8+ days and no luck on 3 phones and always I got restar's apps FC.
and now everything sems to run beter = apps fc or slow internet compare to any rom i try or kernel (remember you get downgrade Internet speed over time).
so save your time, My guest is the some hardware is not compatible on coustom rom's. the only bug so far I notice on the leak rom is the FFC not working right on fring I get side image but for the rest It works great,

One tried a lot of roms, cm7 is by far my fav. I haven't had this problem with cm7 till recently.

Start by using stock theme....themes can cause many issues. Can't help you if you aren't running base gingerbread rom ie no themes and whatnot

also why not keep the original Kernel it comes with?
theres nothing wrong with it, what do u gain by switching to faux's kernel?
no pun intended?
i remember Zinx mentioning to keep original kernel to prevent issues.

Keep the original CM7 kernal? My battery life was horrible and a friend told me to get a smartass kernal. My battery have greatly improved.
I was under the assumption that the smartass gov turns stuff off like wifi, etc.. when its asleep, so I thought it might be doing that to my service too.

have you tried a wipe and reflash?

The same keep happening to me out nowhere I just lose my signal and I don't even get H no more all I get is is 3g but I rarely works and I normally get H any ideas?

Just installed a new radio and so far no more problems. Fingers crossed!!

Faux's kernel has been tested inside and out with CM7, and while a minority reported issues, most of them were resolved (after determining some sort of bad install/user error) so I can't imagine it has anything to do with it. See how the new radio runs, I've had signal drops before, but it went away after a crackflash, so I'm assuming you have some sort of rogue service or something that happened that was causing the issue. If it persists try a clean wipe and reinstall cm7.

Which radio do u recommend to flash and is it reversible u know just in case

[Q] HTC WIFI driver sucks, possible to use CM7 WIFI driver?

All HTC roms ive been on suck with wifi, wifi calling in specifics. HTC roms i can go about 10 feet before it starts getting distorted, when i had CM7 i was able to walk across the street and hold a convo, ive tried the Best wifi performance switch (which i think does nothing at all) and its the same issue.
Is it possible to use the CM7 wifi driver in the HTC rom?

Im not sure what Rom you are using but the problem is most likely with your kernel. Have you tried flashing a different Kernel?
This one might work for you
Fauxs GB sense kernel
If this kernel is not made for the ROM you are using dont flash it. find the correct one for your rom

CM7's WiFi drivers are ported to CM7 using HTC's sources... Change your kernel.

Hmm, What else could it possibly be?

I have this problem too and it is really frustrating
I have to literally put a wireless router on my desk I work on just to make it like a regular call

Im talking on my phone via wifi calling with royal sense Tmobile Mytouch 2.3.4 based rom right about 30ft away from the router and through two wall without any problems
Edit: However this sense rom is using GingerSensei 1.0, ckisgen custom kernel not faux

G2 Slim Or Virtuous G-lite

I was just wondering which one is better for speed, battery life and their UI's. I have given up on the Sense roms, too slow and buggy.
Thanks

I know I've seen your name in the forums before, but forget what you're using now. Have you tried either of the EliteMod versions (one CM7, one ICS?) I'm using the latter now and very happy with it for speed, battery and UI (Apex launcher.)

I second this, for ICS either elitemod or Andromadus mimicry. Apex launcher.
Though for gingerbread, I'd say elitemod CM7 or g2slim.
Also for an even faster and lighter launcher there is lightning launcher.

Yeash, I must ask a lot of questions then, lol. I am currently on Gen. Y Vision B5. However I have found it very slow and buggy. I have also tried Andromadus Mimicry. It was the best i'd seen, but I wanted something which had better battery life.
Will have a look at EliteMod Now.

ILWT for me...

MIUI
Better battery life + Good Look = its definitely MIUI
from my experience MIUI has the best battery life.. abt 2 hours of music, txting, wifi, browsing and total of 30min calling, yet i always come home above 30%

I know that I've asked this before but does these ROMs set the phone's CPU to a default speed? Or do you do that yourself by using something like the SetCPU app?
I'm in the process of rooting my phone and will be looking at GB ROMs such as MIUI, ILWT and CM7.

MIUI doesn't have a built in feature to set CPU speeds. But most other CM based roms does have such option built in. Look for something like Performance->CPU in settings. There you can set a CPU governor too

I thought MIUI was discontinued for our devices?

It is confusing because of the several Miui sites. But that is the impression I get, too. I just spent a certain amount of time looking, and failed to come up with anything current.

Yes they discontinued support for the vision after gingerbread. Anything found that is android 4.0 or higher will be ports, not to say they will be good or bad but they won't be specific to our phones

Yes it is... But it is stable and it has every feature needed. I have used MIUI without restarting for more than a week. No glitches though. But sure can use extra stuff like miui_bulletproof_pack, though Im not using it.
Its a stable rom + with super cool look + good performance and good battery life. What else do we need

Tried G-Lite, however it had some simple bugs such as the screen timeout not working. .
Back to Mimicry.

G-light hands down its fast stable gives you the option of choosing kernels before flashing (conservative HTC kernel or full featured kernel capable of 1.4ghz Oc) . As for issues their ain't none I've been using g-light since it came to play . The screen issue must of been a bad flash

Battery Life/Temp When Running ICS

Recently rooted my phone and have used a number of different ROMs. The ICS ROMs for this phone seem to heat up my battery and drain it quite quickly. GB ROMs don't seem to do that. Is that the nature of ICS for the Glacier?
I'm just wondering what other users' experiences with ICS are.
Thanks.

Its a known issue with ROMs that have the 3.0 kernel. I know that the devs are looking into a solution AFAIK no eta yet.

He said ICS, we don't have any ICS roms with 3.0 kernel (because we would have to re engineer the rom.)
To answer the OP's question, i haven't been on gingerbread for a long time, i don't have a problem with ICS, check your clock speed, your governor and your battery. What rom are you on? And are you sure its not JB?

I was using Glacier_One_V_1.3. Sorry, I'm a noob at the whole kernel/governor thing so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
For now, I ended up switching to Skytouch (the i06 port to myTouch) as my ROM.

So, after doing some research, I downloaded System Tuner and changed the Governor to Smartass V2 with a High Threshold of 1.02Ghz and a low of 245Ghz. I'm going to see if that improves my battery life.

I'm very happy with battery life when I use Synthetic.Nightmare's SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG. Is it as good as CyanogenMod 7.1? Hard to say, but possibly not. Haven't noticed anything in terms of heating, though. Newb, so not sure about kernels (except as they relate to linear transformations) but I think I have to be using aosp(x) kernel with that ROM...

My two cents
I am using Glacier_One_V_1.3, very happy with it. waiting for a new kernel about to be released.. and I am sure it'll solve a few issues maybe flickering screen/flipping lock screen and maybe the heating problems. Who knows
Battery life is good for me. yet thinking of getting an alternative battery. Maybe it'll get less hotter.
