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

As for right now no the data issues don't even show in a day long logcat.

My rom is also tweaked for network performance.

(Q) What's your default rom?best one of all you've tried?

What's everyones default rom?
Best batteryy life?
Mine is mikshift and cm7

best ROM i've had is gingerbread shift deck (which i've been using for the past couple weeks), best battery life i've had was on AwesomeROM or MikShift

I'm really liking Mikshift OC'd to 1.5GHz. MikBrando GSense has an awesome look and feel (guess I'm partial to the Sense eye candy and 2.0 is slick) and it will probably be my daily driver once the kernel source is released and it can be OC'd. BrandoKC's green theme really gives it an "executive" look. On the other hand, Sense ROMs can't touch the performance of AOSP ROMs such as cm7 at equivalent clock speeds, but you pay for it with battery life. That's my two cents.

ive been getting the best battery life on cm7. im on nightly 91 and using the stock kernel clocked to 1 ghz and i can easily go a full 2 days with atleast 15 percent left

default is cm7 stable 7.0.3.1 but lately i've been using shift deck and it's cool.

Shift deck is the very best rom imo. I love it and its better than CM7 to me.

Miui 1.4.29, amazing speed and 24 hrs plus battery with moderate usage. Ill never go back to sense.... what's the point?
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy

I wish my GPS worked and I also wished my signal was better so that I could fully enjoy CM7. I keep having to go back to a sense rom to "fix" the GPS issue. I'm on Mikshift at the moment and it's sluggish compared to aosp, but at least it's fully functional for me.

I haven't tried alot of them, but I went with evervolv, I couldn't go back. Even trying cm7 after.

Shiftdeck!!! Nuff said

I like shiftdeck, though I still don't understand what's with the bootlooping on the last couple of releases.

CM7 is the fastest, smoothest for me and I love the nightlies.

I'm on the stock rooted rom. I loaded the speedy kingdom rom, but was too laggy and too many FCs for me, so I switched back. I'm running the X99 kernel, running at the defaults (1.2 gHz max), and it's running like a champ. I could run it at 1.5, but it runs so good at 1.2, that I didn't feel the need to go higher. Battery life is good too.

cm7 and x99 is working like a champ for me. so far nothing seems out of place, and all my aftermarket applications works fine such as youmail, gvoice, and gmail pushes as well. 2032 on quadrant :O !!!

Have you tried Shift Deck with x99. It runs awesome, even better than the nightlies. My Quadrant went from 3380 to 3900 switching to Shift Deck. All my other benchmarks went up aswell.

I love deck's ROM also, SO fast. The bootloops are because of a new kernel he is trying. Don't worry he'll have it figured out soon enough. Anyways my favorite of all favorites has to be MIUI 1.4.29. I love the UI, it's fast, and by far the best battery life of any ROM I've tried.

Before the release of a stable AOSP ROM, the best battery life for me was AwesomeRom using a 1.8g bfq test kernel. I can't remember who the dev was since its been a while, but I believe it was Bcnice20. The ROM & kernel combo made my phone pretty snappy while also giving me like 14-16 hrs of battery life through heavy use.
On AOSP, my favorite ROM has to be Kush-Deck 1.2t so far. I just flashed Scary's Stable Kernel v2 last night. I have min at 245MHz, max at 1209MHz, and the governor set to "Smartass". I'm hoping those settings will give me the best experience in terms of performance, stability, & battery life.
I had been rawkin' an older version of Deck's ROM with the stock Kernel for a bit but after a while my battery life started going down hill. Before that i had been on different versions of CM7 for a while since RC 1 but battery life was even worse on those.
I've been pretty stoked on Deck so far and think I'll prolly keep rawkin this for a while. Especially since everything seems to be working well for me including GPS, Wi-Fi, 4G, etc.

I also use deck's rom with the newest x99 kernel. Miui is also nice, but I always find myself flashing back to an aosp rom after a day or so.

[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

New user

New user here, I'd just like to say Hi. I'm usually on the Moto Droid forums. Just got my Nexus S 4g today and I LOVE it.
Rooted running CM7 Nightlies.
I just had a few questions
I understand this phone cant do 720p. Is there a hack that can?
Does RenderFX help battery life? if so, which setting?
What are some roms/kernels you suggest?
Also, ill be working on some Themes for the Nexus S, (I'm a theme designer).
I usually make themes that make the phone look like another phone (iPhone, x10, Atrix 4G)
I'd also like to thank XDA for providing such an active user-base.
Think of a theme and ill try to make it, Thanks

Best battery life rom I found was oxygen. I thought I was going crazy because the battery life was so good. Its great plus you can download voodoo and it has netarchy kernel. Plus its aosp more than stock. Miui is most beautiful theme rich rom but battery life sucks. Cm7 was OK for me just kind of buggy. So I stuck with oxygen. Oh and nope...no camera hacks yet. No HD video or zoom. Sorry.
Hope this helps

That's one thing I'm completely unsure of I know I've been in the middle of a call and all of a sudden it announces a turn ahead. Turn data off (settings then wireless and networks and then mobile data click off) and try to get a direction

I got mine on Friday! There will never be 720p video as its a hardware limitation. In order to fit the nfc chip, Google opted to use a smaller camera without an HD encoder.

For my TASTE, I like decks 1.3d since I had the least amount of issues with, none really. The kernel I have had the best luck with is Matr1x 6.0 cfs. I like the fact that it has voodoo if needed, bln and bld now. Since I updated to 6.0 I have had no lockups or reboots period. I don't change the speed or volting just the govenor (sp). They are smooth together. But for what its worth phones might not like the same thing as another.
I have tried just about every rom on xda for the ns4g.
Decks
Miui
Ice and fire
Stock rooted
Oyxgen
Kings
But I don't want to try cm7 as to battery life when I get well over 12hrs of use daily and no nightlys cause it seems like something is always broke. No offense to either or anyone, just what I prefer.

Maybe try again with a different kernel. I wipe cache once, factory reset once and write dalvik 3 times. Install decks 1.3D with matr1x 6.0.

I'm gonna try matrix but I'm kinda in a bind. I need stock nexus s 4g kernel. I flashed netarchy and backed it up then when I went to delete my miui backup I accidentally deleted my completely stock (besides super user) backup and now I have no stock kernel.

Sense 3.5 Radio

I'm not able to post in the dev section yet, but I noticed a couple other people having the same problem and I wasn't able to find a response. I'm running TDJ's darkside sense 3.5 rom and I have tried the beatmod bliss rom as well, but in both I am having wifi issues. I searched and couldn't find a response. I wasn't sure if it was radio issue and there is one that is recommended to run with sense 3.5 or if there is a fix out there. Every ten minutes or so it will lose connection to my wifi at home. I verified that the wifi is set to never disconnect and haven't had any issues with any aosp or sense 3.0 roms. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You must be having hardware problems or router issues. I'm on tdjs latest 3.5 and I have no problems with wifi. Nice and strong.
Go to your wifi settings and make sure sleep is set to never and performance is checked.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I have both never checked for sleep and best wifi performance. I was running TDJ's MIUI rom and didn't have any issues and my wife's mytouch 3g slide is on a stock rom and doesn't lose signal either. When I searched the thread for his sense 3.5 rom I saw one other person describing the same issue I'm having. Not sure what is going on.

Have you tried reseting your router?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Tried that too. I'm thinking I might try flashing a different radio. I'm running the most recent but I know that TDJ suggests using panache radio with miui. Not sure if it will fix anything.

yes, try the panache radio. i've gotten VERY good results.

I'll write it again (and again, and again...) :
Radio has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with WiFi.
WiFi is completely under kernel control. It's NOT in the radio, neither HW- nor SW-wise.
