I just recently heard about RIL (radio interface layer) and the importance of it when flashing a new modem.

Was kinda strange for me because I didn't see many discussions about it in this thread or others...

How important is it anyway to have RIL that matches the modem...?

I also saw the app GetRil from Play store.

It checks if the device's RIL matches the installed modem. If not you could download the RIL through the app and install it.

I installed bvlp7 yesterday.

Should I install the correct RIL?

The thing is that the app I mentioned doesn't have the RIL for this modem and I couldn't find where to download from...

So, is it important at all and where can I download from...?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
To be fairly honest, matching the RIL is only important if you are having issues with mobile network signal. On SGS2 matching the RIL isn't that necessary as it is on say an HTC device.

So, I suggest leaving it alone. Unless you face connection problems.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Addicted2Speed:
Don´t forget,

Let the modem settle for 2/3 days to obtain the most of it ;)

I am not sure I should trust speed test.net. I tried the bvlp7 modem with it. I got 6.6M for download.

Hi Nicola!

Like other user said it depends in wich area you are, i'm in rome and after tested a lot of modem i can say the most stable is nelp3 with a god balance betwen battery and data (best result with speedtest is 6.9 in download).

Now i'm testing BVLP7 since 2 days, i can say is faster and stable but i don't know yet how much buttery will drain.

btw, i've got a problem and dont' know if it's modem related:

I'm on insanity JB, (BVLP7 modem and CM10 Kernel) and sometimes my phone ask me to reinsert SIM pin code, happens three times this morning!!!

Someone had got this situation? it can be modem related or rom related?

Thanks for answer

Hey guys!

I guess, that this question annoys a lot of you guys, but I'm going to ask it nevertheless:

Does anyone have a concrete modem recommendation? I'm from Germany (O²), if this informations is useful.

I didn't follow the "scene" for about half a year and don't want to test EVERY possible modem. I hope you understand. :)

Btw.: I read a lot of positive feedback about the BVLP7 after searching. I'm using it at the moment, but it's not better than my old one, I guess (which isn't a bad thing neither).

Thanks! :)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kotaxor:
I believe you will not get the ril if you are using different version of ROM, eg 4.0.4 will not be able to get ril for KH3 or KI3

I had try GetRIL on my LPT and unable to download and installed KH3 ril.

But for BVLP7...no problem.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] belerephont:
Can someone explain what is the difference if you get the matching RIL? Had XXLPX modem in Paranoid Android and when I got getRIL it said that I did not have the matching RIL, so I downloaded and installed the matching one.

From what I read here the KH3 modem is the most battery friendly? Is this so? You think it makes sense to try it or XXLPX is ok too?

P.S. I am in Greece by the way:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] d3l1:
the matching RIL will make sure that your phone can communicate with your modem without any problems. if the RIL doesn't match the modem, the interface has problems communicating thus leading to dropped calls, bad reception, slow download speeds, battery drain and so on.

You only need to change RIL if you're having connection issues.

Sent from my HTC One X
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dakore:
Your carrier should provide HSPA+ and your RIL should have H+ support. Try Rootbox Jellybean rom - if you get H+ icon, your carrier provides HSPA+ signal. In Rootbox case, as soon as you flash third party RIL, you loose H+ support because RIL overwrites few lib files in your /system that contains H+ support.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Karpfenhai:
Are you really sure about that?

I'm my experience it depends on the signal quality whether it shows H or H+.

Example at home i get "only" H.

At work in an urban area i have H+.

To me its related to the network coverage quality too..

Btw, i have an unknown RIL, but no weird issues at all!

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dakore:
Quite sure. I tested it at home. Flashed HSPA+ supported rom (e.g. Rootbox) -> H+ icon. Flashed RIL over it -> no more HSPA+ support, only H. Guys from Rootbox thread have confirmed this. Libsec-ril.so file is changed when flashing different RIL so... Rootbox is known as a rare AOKP/CM rom with HSPA+ support.

edit: I never got H+ on SlimICS, RR, AOKP, CM 10... Only Rootbox and its modified RIL.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Karpfenhai:
Thx for explaining, but does it have any real speed differences or is it just cosmetic?

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dakore:
Can't say for sure... My carrier has "limited" HSPA+ throughput and I get nearly same speed results on H+ as well as on H (~3-5Mbps down, ~2-3Mbps up. Some times it hits ~8Mbps down).

Maybe it's not carrier's limit but our phones, dunno.

I'm travelling in India and loaded the BVLP7. MYy RIL didn't match so I used getRIL to match them up.

Any suggestions are welcome

Hi Everyone, I have tried again with ParanoidAndroid 2.1 and install the modem which match the RIL of the ROM with HSPA+ support and after reboot the HSPA+ signal stays. Please see my attached Screen shot.

The original RIL which comes with the ROM is XWLPO I have tried to search what is the compatible modem for this and is XXLQ6.

In GetRIL XWLPO doesn't shows compatibility with this modem hence I install RIL for XXLQ6 and after reboot the HSPA+ signal stays.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bleuxeon:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hawkerpaul:
I've done some searching, and it seems GetRIL does not do a complete job.

For the modem/RIL to match 100%, it requires 3 files, and GetRIL only updates one. (Perhaps this will be a mod for this app in the future)

The following files are required for a true modem/RIL match:

/system/lib/libsec-ril.so

/system/lib/libsecril-client-sap.so

/system/lib/libsecril-client.so

Perhaps this is why I seem to get differing results when performing Fast Dormancy testing.

I assume all these modem CWM files that we download are built up by people who have downloaded firmware, so perhaps in future, it might be an idea when creating a CWM flashable modem file to also include these /system/lib files, thereby installing a modem with 100% correct RIL.These files will be in firmware that came pre-bundled with its particular modem. When I get time, I will build some complete Modem/RIL CWM files from the various firmware I've downloaded over the last year.

Does anyone know what firmware came bundled with BVLP7 so that I can get the necessary RIL modules for this modem?

I've made ones up for BVLPE and XXLPX

Official firmware with XXLPX modem only has 2 lib ril files, so I've not included libsecril-client-sap.so in this one

Looking at firmware now to get the RIL files for BVLP7.

The new modem CWM installation script I've written does the whole lot. Installs the modem as normal, but also installs the system/lib/ril files. The script also backs up the current RIL files to external sd card under MyBackups folder. (I tried to backup to internal SD, but for some reason I think the internal mount points have changed in later Siyah's so until I find out how to access internal SD card, I'll just leave the backups going to external.) I always thought the internal sd card was mounted like this:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p11", "/sdcard"); ???

Depending on your kernel, this may backup to internal or external SD. On Siyah 4.1.4, the backup gets created on the external sd card for me.

In any case, the lib files can always be restored from your firmware zip anyway if required.

(You can always run GetRIL after installing just to be sure the RIL files were copied)
