Xxjve modem is the best modem ive tested so far! Gps signal is greatly improved

Well im using insanity 0.6.3 that comes together with that modem. Its a modem extracted from JV1 (gingerbread) leak rom i guess.. However nitr8 does put a link for the modem upgrade. Not sure u can upgrade it directly (coz its only compatible with previous insanity rom), but my best advice would be extract the modem.bin and flash it with odin. I do have alternative to flash it from cwm, but its much more hassle..

Here's the modem download

Got it from this page under Insanity 0.6.3 Upgrade Modem (JVE)

U are welcome! Wooot.. u directly flashed it with cwm? Coz that file is meant for previous insanity. Don't flame me if something goes wrong k!

Btw, if it goes well, congrats!

Haha. I like your joke.. Previously i was on zsjpg (latest modem from hk region) and before that zsjpe modem (the modem comes with simply galaxy rom), gps was fine, although nothing astounding.

U mean zsjpg modem rite? Attached it already. Please verify it. Btw, its a cwm compatible.

Um, since i started to use it for the past 3 days, its very easy to get lock. less than 20sec cold start. Different location, time would result in different story. Tried it first! If still not satisfied, Gps aids always there for u..

Vibrant is slightly different from the international galaxy s i9000, noticeably from the missing front secondary camera and the soft home key (with additional search key). Other features should be similar. Since vibrant is selling in usa, the update might not be similar with the galaxy s (including installing custom rom.)
Normally the only thing that differs ap and original is the warranty. Check also accessories provided (should be as similar to the original content).

Yes. It can be used safely with froyo rom. Battery life? Maybe need few more battery cycle so that the battery can be fully calibrated. As for now, i don't think its worse. Maybe on par??
Haha Why don't u give it a try?

Before moving into insane kernal, i was in so 4.8.2. For uv, not stable enough. Very low uv will freeze the phone. But i still prefer the old so 4.6.5 for stability. If u don't do any oc/uv, it is as stable as a kernal should be. Speed? Its fast enough without lagfix applied. Battery consumption is good. If u uv, the battery life would be superb.

U might want to try insane kernal. Its a speedmod k13c based kernal but added oc/uv. I can uv with very low setting but stable enough for daily used. Or another good oc/uv kernal is damian v1.1 beta 2. Try all of them and see which one suits u the most. Any oc/uv kernal will give u the best battery life+stability if u know how to set it right.

First, make sure u are using the latest voltage control 3.0.1. Can get it trough market. Old version not too stable. Sometimes the value changes on its own. Second is to follow the recommended uv setting on SO first page. When testing, never save it as boot setting first! Test it first, run few quadrant test, play video, run some games. If its stable enough only u set it as boot setting. If the current uv is stable enough, u can lower them one step at a time. Try to get the best combination without freezing the phone. Other forumers might want to add up more..

I hope the rom perform as he claimed.. Will test it for sure once its out!

Uv is under voltage. Meaning setting a lower voltage to the current processor. Lower voltage = Better battery life. Setting the voltage too low will caused the phone freeze/hang because it is underpowered. Imagine (might not necessary be true, just an example.. ) u body requires 60% water. If the water level drops below certain percentage, ur body will collapsed (eg faint). So uv is something like that. A good uv is where the voltage is lower than current, without jeopardizing the stability of the phone itself. A further reading here would explain more about uv itself.


What do u mean replace it with OK one? There are many methods to replace the gallery if the current gallery is draining too much battery.
First method:
1. Install sgs tools. U can grab one from the market under 'Captivate SGS tools' although this version (4.5) has more features to suit captivate. Older version of sgs tools will do just fine.
2.Under Upgrade Stock apps, select Modded 3D Gallery (Make sure u have online access eg. 3g/wifi) as it requires downloading the files.

Second method:
1. U need to uninstall the current gallery. U can use titanium backup (easiest one) or using root explorer.
2. Install gallery 3d from market. Search for Gallery 3d.

I have no good explanation on that, but i did encounter the same problem before. But in my case it re-download back into my sdcard. Sometimes data corruption happens causing lost of files. But it only happens with big games downloaded into the phone..

Yup. Thats right. By increasing the the uv, meaning u are lowering the voltage. Because it measures in -ve. If u are using the latest voltage control, u are only able to apply for value of 1280-1200-1120-1000-800-400-200-100 only. Using the old version of voltage control, u can apply the all the values u post earlier (including oc up to 1600mhz, but i doubt that) Previously i can safely oc up to 1400 with so kernal.

Here's mine:
1000 - 50
800 - 75
400 - 75
200 - 75
100 - 125

I find these value give me good stability without crashing the phone. I can go slightly lower than this but now got no time to play with it.
Btw, i don't oc as i don't do a lot of gaming, thus oc give me no extra advantage.

If u freeze an app, u cannot run it. The app is still there, but its more like being blocked and cannot be used. To use it back, unfreeze it. Side effect? Nothing i can think of..
