Radio replacement

Good day!
I have been using roms from xda for 2 phones now, and love them. My only issue has been reception. Is there a simple way to extract my original radio and put it into a new rom? That would solve all of my issues.
Thanks in advance.

What radio are you referring to? If you search for the band number on the forums, you might find a flashable zip that you can flash from recovery. Also, refer to the hero wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Hero_CDMA.png, you might find info there.
My Canadian carrier must use a different radio than the ones included with the new Roms. I am hoping to extract that and put it into my aosp rom.
My reception is terrible with the new rom.

Ummm flashing a new rom does not change the radio.

Like FDXRider said flashing a Rom doesn't change the Radio. Just the Kernel!

Thanks a lot guys. I guess I noticed my signal strength was lower after I flashed to the new rom. Is there anything in the new rom that could cause my signal strength to the lower than before?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Its all in how the xml's are coded for the signal bars. You would be better off checking signal strength in settings>about phone

See my signature.
Also, radio updates aren't likely to vastly improve anything.
Try updating your PRL and Data profile.
Is this a new issue?
Seems when i flashed latest rom it dropped a bit i updated all that already thought most of that was for 3g though

No the PRL has to do with what towers you roam on.
Go the the EVO wiki within XDA, there is a table listing links to all stock ROMS, and below that there are links for the stock radios. The top link sends you to a thread where the latest greatest radios can always be found.

Atrix radio power lower than Defy?

Hello everyone, I bought an Atrix to upgrade my Defy, I'm very satisfied with the phone except for one thing, the signal power of my Defy is way higher than my Atrix. I work underground and with the same carrier my Defy works excelent, while my Atrix keeps getting out of signal ;(
Is there a way to increase the power for the radio in order to get a better reception?
Try flash to the latest radio if you havent done so

Where do I find the files? Also, is there some sort of tweak to increase the radio power?
Are you on AT&T? If so try flash this through cwm

WiFi Signal on G-Lite...

I've noticed my WiFi signal is quite a bit weaker is comparison to say RCMIX 4.0 or Affinity.
Is there any way to transplant the great WiFi performance to G-Lite?

No opinions?

Well I understood that wifi had more to do with the radio as opposed to the rom.
Hmm. I always thought the opposite. I thought wifi wasnt tied to the radio, that the radio was just for GSM signal...

So you've had the same WiFi performance between roms? Even Sense based?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
Well the radio and rom are two separate things, you must flash them independently. Certain radios work better for some on certain roms, but also it depends on the region as well, it really is the epitome of YMMV! I personally stick to radios from official updates, besides if it ain't broke don't fix it. In your case it was but now it's fine so just be careful. Flashing radios is the number one phone bricker next to one click root solutions.
I'd like to know which radio you ended up using as well. I'm also using G-Lite and experiencing weak wifi signal, at least shown on the wifi indicator.
Not sure who your asking but I'm using the newest stock from the last.official ota

Will try that, thanks
Are you sure that it's not just the ROM showing that it has lower signal than it actually does? I'm using g-lite 2.0.1 and i have no problems with wifi at all and this ROM is amazing, i think you should flash the latest radio for the htc vision as that's the one that is recommended by the developer of g-lite. Here's a link to the list of radios for your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809 , the one i'm using (which is also the recommended one) is the one at the top of the downloads list - Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19.

[Q] Status bar icons?

I'm trying to figure out what icons are what on this phone.
I'm use to the evo and having 3g ,4g and 1x icons and I'm trying to replace the H,E and what ever icons there are on this phone with the 3g ,4g and 1x.
Does anyone know of a guide that could help me with this?
I've searched but really didn't come up with much and was hoping to get a little help.
I'm looking to make a ics theme for the mikrunny ROM if that helps at all.
TIA for any help with this.

nope, E means Edge, which is even slower than 3G. if it's on 3G, it will show "3G".
i'm not sure about that rom, but if you're willing to switch to either RCMix3D, or DARKSIDE SENSE 3.5, then they have the option to show "4G" instead of "H".

Mikrunny has the 4g option.
I've never seen this phone have 3g its always either on 4g or E why would it never display 3g?
Thanks for your replies btw.

hm i don't know what to say... :/
weird.
It's the service in the area. In my area, 3g recently deployed but it shows I have 4G (3g speeds actually). My phone jumps from 4G to Edge every now and then but never 3g. I'd have to check when I'm town to if 3g kicks in, though it normally shows 4G. Same rom btw.
