[Desire Android Development] System of a pWne!^:
Mine is a PVT1 as well. Quite similar date. Using the 5.17 RADIO with the 2.2.1003G RIL on CM7.0.2 without any problems (Other RILs than that and the 1.6 one seem to give me similar issues). Someone posted the RIL binaries and I packed them to a flashable ZIP in this thread.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
What improvements do you guys exactly expect?
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
for our desire to morph into sensation :D
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
Ok, then keep flashing this stuff! :D
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
i cant find the RIL for the newest radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 . i use oxygen 2.1.2 any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Nothing so magical as a transformer-phone, just maybe better signal in crappier areas, better GPS locking etc.
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
HTC Megatron S !! COMING SOON!! :eek:
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
HTC Sensatron Prime :D
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
That was somewhat of a rhetorical question, like the next: How would you measure a better GSM/GPS/WIFI reception dependent on the radio?
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Without the proper equipment i don't think we can test any of those, except what we see like stronger signal or better gps. Some radios do fix issues people reported earlier.
[Desire Android Development] gippy2:
The clue is in my sig ;)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Exactly;)

People spout all sorts of ill informed this radio is far better nonsense

Did they have the equipment to accurately monitor the signal strength they were getting from their carrier/satellite/router with different radios.

I think not
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
That's the point! Without proper equipment you can't measure it at all. Better GSM/WIFI/GPS receptions depends on too many factors. No chance to say this radio is better than that reception wise. You just can't say for sure what is influencing the reception between two radio flashes.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
But it could influence battery life. I think we can agree on that too. Still, there's again lots of factors to account for, but it's easier to test, like with currentwidget or battery monitor widget. Some tools we do have.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
Even this is nearly impossible to measure, because it depends on so many factors (e.g. ironically on the GSM/GPS/WIFI reception). I guess you could do that statistically about some defined (medium term / long term) period of time... but no one here at XDA would have that patience :D
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
Since we don't have any equipment to measure it, the best we have is anecdotal evidence. Monitoring if you get more/less dropped calls, inability to dial out or receive calls, mobile data connectivity and speed or how fast the GPS locks are things that aren't actual measurements but do indicate the performance of a particular radio.

You can read the cellular signal under Settings/About phone/Status/Signal strength.
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
it would be nice if there were a thread with every RIL (newest). i am getting crazy. atm i am on radio 5.17 .... i am installing a sense rom (insertcoin v22) which is the newest RIL version for me?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
It's on the first post :) :
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
It appears I'm mis-informed as to what the RIL actually does then. I was under the impression it was similar to having the correct drivers installed on a PC compared to the generic OS choice.

My main hope was improved signal/connection - at work I sit 5 feet from a datacentre in a building that's essentially a massive faraday cage, and I spend most of the day with no signal - the only time this wasn't the case was when I had the official Virgin ROM on there, but then again that could be down to the signal in the area going downhill....
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
I know where to read the current signal strength, but this and monitoring the other things don't indicate much about the radio. The GPS lock e.g. depends (among other things) on: position of the device (btw: Just avoid holding it in that way™), weather and environmental influences, signal reflections of surroundings, radio interferences, current satellite position, existence of almanac and ephemeris data or a connection to download these data. Especially the last mentioned impairs the time to first fix to take up to several minutes. So all these circumstances are difficult to reproduce and to measure between two radio flashes.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
That evidence is true, but flashing RIL + radio won't do magic :D

A GSM indoor solution would help, but there is maybe a reason why the building is build like a "massive faraday cage"...
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
Of course those are all valid and real variables, but you can roughly evaluate different radios/RILs yourself by testing them in the same location. Not exact, but should give you a good idea if a particular setup is locking relatively quickly or taking an excessive amount of time.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
By evaluating in the same location you're only taking one or two factors into account. You still don't have control about all the others. GPS in particular isn't easy to compare, because you can only guess if the almanac and ephemeris data are available and that's a huge factor to get the first fix. If they are not available, it can take much longer to get a position. Imagine your device doesn't have this data available atm. You are starting GPS with the old radio and your device starts downloading this data. This takes some amount of time and you get a position after ~2 minutes. After flashing the new radio you are starting the GPS service again. Now it only takes several seconds to get a fix, because the almanac and ephemeris data are still valid. Now, does this say anything about the quality of reception or about the performance of the radio?
[Desire Android Development] aca85:
Guys im habing some probs with running GB (reflex S 1.9+) :/ The issue is with mainly with 3G (and dl from market).So im gonna try to update the RIL.

Since im using the radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 i tried the 2.2.0028HM RIL but it only screwed this up even more...Any other suggestions ?
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
is that HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G extracted also from n1?
[Desire Android Development] :
I live in a very low signal area. I did notice that when I switch from 3G to GSM I get a much better reception (probably more and closer towers). So I've set Tasker to switch my phone from 3G to GSM whenever it detects my location is around my house.

Don't know if this will help in your case but it's worth a try.
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
I would assume so since HTC-RIL 2.2.1001G (July 16 2010, 21:52:13) was extracted from N1, I am guessing HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G is the follow up to that one. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Meaple:
I'm running radio 5.17.05.23 with HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM RIL. Works just fine. If your RIL doesn't work well then you should restore a backup or flash one that does work.
[Desire Android Development] :
I have that radio version and it works great also with the earlier nexus RIL: HTC-RIL 2.2.1001G (July 16 2010, 21:52:13)
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
Aren't H rils for Sense roms, and G for aosp roms? Although I have heard aosp roms don't need/mind which ril they have?
[Desire Android Development] gippy2:
Try the 22.1.003G ril
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
HM Rils are generally for Sense roms. Try using 2.2.1003G Ril for any aosp rom, worked like a charm on my Desire HD and CM7.
[Desire Android Development] alienmind:
What is the corresponding radio to that RIL for Desire HD?
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
Well since as far as I know that Ril was extracted from n1. I was using it with the Telus radio.

This is my recommended setup which worked really well for a lot of users:

[Desire Android Development] meno69:
Do you recommend setting a fast dormancy timeout as well? What is the default value for this and what should it be set to?
[Desire Android Development] pure gallus:
I've been having problems with receiving text message and the occasional phone call being forward straight to voicemail even if I have perfect signal. Will this type of thing work. I've tried tinkering with the radio but to no avail.

I'm on Vodafone in the UK, running RCMix on an unbranded Desire. I'm rooted, s-off and all that.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Moskiller:
I installed HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM on my Desire HD but RILInfos show that my RIL version is 0099HM, is this an app's bug?
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
Did you remember to mount /system in recovery before flashing?
[Desire Android Development] Moskiller:
No, how can I do exactly pls?

EDIT: solved thx ;)
[Desire Android Development] aorifan:
my phone seems to be very warm while connects to 3G network, dunno if it's got smth to do with latest leak RIL.
[Desire Android Development] meno69:
Check your CPU usage and see what is keeping it busy.
[Desire Android Development] :
Errr... I'm having troubles with updating RIL. Specs are in my signature and my default RIL is HTC-RIL 1.6.1062G (Apr 23 2010,17:35:06).

After flashing with something newer in RIL Info app I got blank results and of course, mobile network is not working, only wi-fi.

I had to wipe everything and install CM7 #91 again to get it working again and it says again it's 1.6.1062G
[Desire Android Development] Madala_ZA:
You must mount /system in recovery before flashing a RIL, otherwise it won't flash
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
Use OS monitor to check which processes are running.

;)
[Desire Android Development] :
I did that, of course. But why RIL Info was blank? That means that actually nothing was flashed and previous RIL was deleted.

After formatting everything and installing CM7 #91, RIL info says once again it's oldest 1.6.

Can it be issue of CWM 3.2.0.0?
[Desire Android Development] Madala_ZA:
Check out the RIL | Radio combo in my signature.

I'm getting 1% battery drain per hour (in standby with wireless on). Also, excellent mobile, data, wireless and GPS signals.
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
I guess, you cannot use radios/rils for the desire hd also on the desire. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Madala_ZA:
Well, I'm on DHD and the RIL I'm using came from HTC Desire S.. so can't do any harm to flash the RIL|radio combo and see if it works for you. Just have your current RIL|radio to flash back if you need to..
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
I am getting a battery drain ~0,5%/h, so there's no need to do this. :)
[Desire Android Development] Madala_ZA:
Haha, yip.. definitely no need ;) what RIL|radio combo are you using?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 + 2.2.1003G (both newest versions). But i switch off wifi, 3g (so mobile network; network itself set to: 2g) and gps and only turn it on, when i need it. Furthermore, i flashed an ulv kernel. So i think our results are not really compareable.... Not to forget we have different phones. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Madala_ZA:
Thanks, if I can't squeeze 24hrs battery life with my new combo then I'll definitely flash your combo ;)
[Desire Android Development] Sleehond:
Someone a good RIL for me?

I have HTC Desire with radio 5.17.05.23 with the ROM F1 Gingerbread V3.

I want to keep on 3G, but Wifi and GPS are off all the time.

Any suggested RIL for me?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
I would flash newest corresponding ril (2.2.1003g), because on this way you make sure, the radio is getting adressed correctly.

But make nandroid backup before, just in case.

No warranty for any damage.
[Desire Android Development] stony2k:
I extracted and uploaded the newest G-RIL from latest CyanogenMod nightly. I anyone interested (working fine for me).

Don't forget to thank me ;)
[Desire Android Development] :
What's the versionnumber?

Swyped from my HTC Desire on XDA App
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I think it's the version 2.2.0018G... ;) ( HTC-RIL_2.2.0018G.zip )

On the first page of the thread there is the HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G ...

if the numbers are right, your RIL should be old version... :confused:
[Desire Android Development] :
Looking at the numbers yours is the old one!

2.2.0018G

2.2.1003G

The one after second dot tells that ;)

Swyped from my HTC Desire on XDA App
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I have not understand...

You tell me that 2.2.0018 is newest than 2.2.1003?

.1003 isn't greatest than .0018?
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
To confuse you RIL flashing guys even more:

$ strings libhtc_ril.so | grep "HTC-RIL 2.2"

HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G (Nov 2 2010,17:17:45)

$ strings libhtc_ril.so | grep "HTC-RIL 2.2"

HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G (Mar 24 2011,20:20:09)

:D
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hahah, I was just about to do that. :P
[Desire Android Development] :
Thats what I said ;)

But looking at the dates I guess I lose :D
[Desire Android Development] zorglub!:
Recommendations ?

Hey guys

i'm fairly confused...I'm running MIUI 1.6.5 (AOSP Rom...) on Htc desire...

Which magical combination ( kernel,RIL,radio) for best battery life ?

Any input welcome
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
There is no magical RIL/radio combination. Just don't mess with it!
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
No one is able to measure exactly what is the best combination for best battery life..That will require some serious professional test :D

there are just some contrasting feeling from the people..

just use the rom as is and normally the latest radio (or the reccomended radio on the rom thread)
[Desire Android Development] banesi:
And just for fun, to confuse even more, files in .0018G are from FEB/2008 so it's old version after all...
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
The file timestamp says nothing about the compile date of the RIL files!
[Desire Android Development] zikyHD:
If someone from HTC could explain... ;-)
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
This "HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G (Mar 24 2011,20:20:09)" are extracted from CM7 right?

Maybe the new timestamp is due to some elaboration from AOSP (from where they come) or from CM later?
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
The libhtc_ril.so file is a proprietary binary blob from HTC that is merged from a official ROM into the AOSP ROM and is not compiled from AOSP source code. So the timestamp after the version number is compiled into the RIL file by HTC.

You shouldn't think the RIL version numbering scheme is matching the classical major.minor.build versioning scheme. Maybe it's something completely different, like major.minor.region or major.minor.network. That's the reason why you shouldn't mess with this RIL files. A newer (or greater version number) doesn't indicate a better RIL file.
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Ya I know that, but someone could had hexedit it

But probably you are right, maybe that build number is not a simple major.minor format
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
so it's a mess :p

So, in future, how do you figure out what is the latest version of RIL, relying only on dates? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
I guess the 2.2.0018G version is from a Desire HD ROM. That's maybe the simple reason why it has a lower version number but a newer build date.

Use the RIL that comes with your ROM and just don't flash other versions until you're really required to do so.
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Does anyone know if there's a RIL available for the 5.17.05.23 radio, to use with LeeDroid's V3.0.7 Bravo GB ROM?
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
I'm guessing it's already included in the rom itself.

Smashed with my RCMix S loaded HTC Desire.
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
The Poll Results are a little to old!? The newest radios are not included!
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
I'm going to flash 5.17.05.23 radio with Insertcoin v45. Do I need to put any RILs?
[Desire Android Development] yeti.p:
Normally not, the RIL is included within the Rom. Don't play with RILs unless you're told to do. I've tested alot myself and must admit that the best results are achieved with the included RIL.
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
It's the newest radio good?
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
Together with the 2.2.1003G RIL it should work very well. I advise you to flash it in the fastboot mode.
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
But the RIL comes with the ROM!? So if I flash 2.2.1003G RIL and then install latest MIUI it is the RIL in MIUI, not the one I flashed?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Yes so it is. But if you update miui version the ril will not be changed.

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
Reading your signature, I thought you had Oxygen installed. As far as I could read in these forums, the G RILs are for the AOSP ROMs and the HM ones are for the Sense ROMs. I haven't got the occasion so read why, what the API differences were and if there was a difference in how they communicated with the radio chip.

I have noticed that xavierjohn has included the 1.6.1062G version of RIL in his MIUI distribution. So you may try to use 2.2.1003G.
[Desire Android Development] pat7:
Thank you for this application that works very well, I was not sure of my Ril.

;)
[Desire Android Development] Eviducre:
Is there any recommended Radio for the Cyanogen 7.1.0-RC1 !?
[Desire Android Development] System of a pWne!^:
I'm using the latest Radio and latest G-RIL with CM7. Works perfectly. No need to change, really, but if you want to be "on the latest possible" like me, you can try that combination.
[Desire Android Development] Eviducre:
So, this RIL, isn't it?

HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM (Mar 18 2011,00:40:15)

And which Radio? I thought the Radios were also at the first page, but I find only the RILs
[Desire Android Development] CamoGeko:
Try that RIL or HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G.

Radios have always been in a different thread, you can find them here:

[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Don't change it if it isn't broken. Ril unless broken will not bring any noticeable improvements at all.

You are right. Moreover, coolexe's ROM might contain already the RIL I have mentioned earlier.

You should always do a nandroid and wipe cache and dalvik.
[Desire Android Development] kszaq:
When it comes to flashing RIL, you *might* only want to wipe cache. Anything more is an overshoot IMHO.

Do you guys encounter any problems with MMSes with 2.2.0019G on ICS?
