Ok I think I see a difference with new libhtc_ril. Maybe..... could you extract the rest of the ril related files, such as libganril.so libril.so libreference_ril.so rilswitch.so and any others with ril in the name? I would be interested in experimenting.. thanks. Also just FYI I messed with them awhile back and I can conferm that at least the libswitch_ril and libganril do have something to do with H speeds. Because if you look at the build.prop of a G2 it is different than a G1 and if you make the build.prop look like a G1 it no longer has H speeds. It stays at 3G.... at least with my experiments it did.

I can't give better info right now I'm hiding in the bathroom at work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I was thinking this too...you bring up very good points.

and LOL at hiding in the bathroom at work. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NetStranger:
what is libhtc_ril.so ? And for what is it? when i need flash it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Libhtc_ril.so is a library file located in /system/lib

It is used as part of the ril_deamon that handels all functions of the phone signal/data. You do not flash it. And you probly won't ever NEED to wory about it. We are just testing stuff right now to see if we can detect any changes/improvments. If you want to try it download a file explorer from market, and copy/paste then reboot. I use a file explorer called SUFBS that is the BEST! It is a paid app but makes things like this easy. Because you can mount system/data to make changes like this and even chmod a file to proper permissions. If none of this makes sense search around on XDA/Google because we are getting off topic. Take care (just buy SUFBS......) : )

Installed the libhtc_ril.so and noticed a difference when running Speedtest. The major boost seems to be in the upload speed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
I have flashed this Radio, but didn't seen any improvement. Let's try it with this file!

Have copied this file and reboot > No improvement. Signal behaviour is the same for me (Reference: Stockradio that comes with 1.34).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Well, that explains why I didn't notice any difference. I guess I'm fairly impartial it seems.

I wonder if copy-pasta'ing this lib will make a difference for me...

EDIT:

the 3 lib files are the same with Orange ROM with a previous version of radio(Virtuous v1.0.1), but the wifi module is different.

I'm pushing the wifi module to my DZ to see if any improvement.

EDIT2:

well the new wifi module doesn't work with Virtuous v1.0.1,get error
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Checking in from Columbia, SC.

Getting much better 3G reception when coming from the stock radio. Tested dl speeds from the speedtest app and at work my Max dl went from ~1Mbps to ~6Mbps!

I know mileage may vary but ive never seen so much 3G coverage in my life! lol

coulda sworn I was on the Verizon network haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Smartenup:
Have only been testing this radio for 1 day and it has not had any -ve effect on my battery so far. Also, I have not noticed a significant improvement on my wifi but HSPA and G3 seem faster.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
I just installed this radio with the provided modules in the first post, and I get slightly better speeds. They deffinatley aren't the 5 or 6 megs I have seen posten, just two but it is better than before. All I did was copy/push the files to /system/lib. Is there anything I need to do to register them? I rebooted
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
My observation from the updated *ril.so has been positive. While nothing noticeable in terms of throughput, my connection doesn't randomly drop any longer. That was a big nuisance that I am glad to get rid off.

I will update after some more time passes by as it's only been 2 days...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] death1246:
Flashed on my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7 nightly....

And so far so good... Booting up right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martx:
Day 3 on this radio and my battery life went downhill fast. I watched it fall from charged to 80% in 2 hours while not even using it. Reflashed the radio with no luck, back to stock radio for me.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
I too got wifi errors when I added the lib and wifi modules, though I was using CM7 #8. Does anyone know if adding just the lib files without the wifi module would fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
I confirm the wifi errors, CM7 RC1. is there a way to fix, I didn't backup the original files
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
Restore from a nandroid backup, or just reflash like I did.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imanoob:
I believe the wifi module is kernel specific so you can't just replace that unless you are on stock desire z rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Powers88:
G2 Nightly 8, also got wifi error after module. Fortunately I backed up my module, here you go

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
Can I know where u got ur stock rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
I just want to clairify some of my advice. If you are trying to copy/past this file you will most likly need to mount system RW. If you don't it will probly look like it copied (little graphic of papers moving or the like) but it won't.... at least this is my experience. Also I did notice today that after you succesfuly copied to the lib directory the new file is changed to a chmod permissions of 075. I am not sure if this will matter but I changed mine back to 644 like the rest of the .so files in the lib dir. Again the file browser SUFBS makes all this easy if like me you are not to good with command line stuff.. any way hope I didn't confuse more than I helped...... and I am still not sure if any of this is making any differance at all for me, including the new radio... or the last new radio for that matter! But I keep trying (and hoping)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Flashed this without any problems, but haven't had a chance to test this out yet. Seems to be working though. Thanks for providing this for us.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
Thx for the file, when I replaced my file and rebooted and it didn't help so I used rom manager to update to the newest nightly, 8, and all is working.

I'm at the opposite side in goodyear and cannot find a good radio to same my life
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cesi:
I am using Virtuous 1.0.1 rom to my G2. I flashed the radio and replaced the lib files to my phone first . I got much higher down speed than the old 26_04 radio. However the battery went dead pretty quick. I did clear the data and cache, it's not working. Then I opened Virtuous 1.01 rom zip file in Winrar and replaced the lib files in it and reflashed my phone. Now i have both the speed and battery life. the wifi works for me without any problems. what a treat! thanks for providing the files.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
I decided to give it a try.

With the first tests with speed test and outside downtown chicago, (and i get similar results from inside my condo), down speeds are not that great however i am getting incredible up speed. Up to 3Mb!!!!! when download averages 1Mb pushing it to 1.5Mb.

Do i need to install these ril.so libs????

I have CM7 RC build #6.

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Lol so true
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
This radio fixed my GPS problems in CM7 RC-1 and Nightly 8, kinda weird, but it did.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
So to be honest, i am not sure about this radio and lib files.

I put the radio, and it seems kinda shoppy.

I decided to replace the libs and module files and not, it's even worse

Using speedtest, i do not even go in 4G mode (H). It stays in 3G.

I did reboot and clear the dalvik cache.

I think i am going to install back the Vision_RADIO_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
The speeds of this radio do suck compared to my stock radio, but it fixed the gps in CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
soooooo. I think i screwed up something.

I rolled back the radio, and the libs.

I do speed test, and it still does not go to 4G. I never had that.

any ideas?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Smartenup:
Working fine for me for a few days now, battery life I an not ready to pass judgment on yet.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Try pulling the libganril.so from the virtuous 1.0.1 rom and then chmod all the libs you changed back to 644 then wipe dalvik and then reboot. That did it for me. Also are you sure you are not throtteled? I have used allmost 100 mb up just speed testing in one day before! So maybe you got throtteled if you are on t-mobile.

But after a few days of testing I am definitely seeing better signal management with this new combo of radio and new libs. It seems to hold the signal better. Meaning I can download at 1Mb with 0 bars of H for awhile before it gives up and switches to E.... Personally that is more important to me than more speed when I have 4 bars of H.

As far as batt usage I really can't tell... I use my phone different every day and I am hard pressed to say that it is using more battery now. If so it is very slight one way or the other. But signal IS better at every place I used to have bad signal.... hope this helps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
When T-Mo throttles, they knock you down to 2G or below.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
I cannot stand the speeds I'm getting with this radio, a consistent 400 or less kb/s on DL and a whole 20 kb/s UL
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
I had to switch from this radio, It made my 3g/4g and wifi worst than before too. went back to Vision_RADIO_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
I did all the chmod and dalvik cache clean and reboot.

I don't mind giving it another shot. However, before i do here are a couple questions:

In the lib.zip there is a so that is not in my system/lib: libreference-ril.so

Should i install it?

Also, should i replace the /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko file or just the so files?

what is that lib you are talking about libganril.so? What is it for?

would you mind posting it so i don't have to do all the extraction and all?

I would appreciate it a lot.

As far as the throttling, i would doubt it. I mean we have 5Gb cap, and i am sure i did not reach the limit. Also, i was able to do some test later on and reach 4G speed again, but it was inconsistent. I went back to 3G, and even Edge and GSM.

Something is may be funky around here today

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codf4ther:
If you're running this radio you need the libs. I was disappointed when I first installed this radio. Speeds seemed no better and my battery life dropped by about about 20% , I could barely get through a business day. With the libs battery life is back to normal. I'm on Cyanogenmod 7rc1, so I didn't install the broadcom kernel extension.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
is the kernel extension that lib-reference so file?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
I would not use the .ko because it is a wifi modual and will probably break wifi.

the libganril.so I believe has something to do with switching between E and H... But to be honest I am not sure. it is definitely related to the ril system and it was different from the one that came with CM6 so I changed it and it helped.... I attached the .so file for you and it cant hurt to try again. But they do say that it varies for different carriars and in different locations. I definitely saw an improvement.

I had to .rar the file to make it fit withen the file size limitations. Hope it workes for you. Also I noticed some weired problems with data speeds caused by the superpower battery helper. So if you have that installed try disabling it for now... Hope this helps. ... Im going to bed:D

EDIT: oh yea I dont know if you should use the libreferance.so if it is not included in your rom. what I did was go through and update all the ril related files that were different based on fle size...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
Looks like it did help a big.

I do have less switching between h and 3g during speed test.

I don't get super speeds (2m down, 1.5m up) but at least it seems more consistent.

Thank a lot for your help. Going to bed myself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] doubleingram:
This Radio significantly improved my wifi DL/UP speed.

The previous results on 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M was 1,6/1,3 DL/UP

On this one I have 7,66/3,47, so it's great improvement.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
I'm getting exceptional DL/UL speeds in Chicago and out in the burbs. Typically I'm averaging about 4 DL and 1.5 UL, but this one was a really nice surprise. Definite improvement to my previous radio (26.03.02.26).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Smartenup:
Radio works well for me, battery life seems a little shorter however. I will mess around to see if a few small changes will improve Batt performance.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] santaclaws:
So I went ahead and installed this new radio and so far I do notice a difference tho for some reason Ive always gotten slow speeds. As others have stated battery life does seem a bit less.

One question - when I originally ran gfree I just did s-off. (not sure why i didnt just run everything, but thats another story.)

Can I now use gfree to do the sim unlock with this new radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
No, radios 04.02.17 and up lock partition 7 (radio partition) and close the loophole. This is why its imperative that people are s-off the gfree way before upgrading. You need to downgrade and run gfree.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] santaclaws:
Vlad,

thanks for the response. well I am already S-off and I have the eng hboot so I can downgrade however which is the best radio to use in your opinion?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
I personally like the latest radio the best but that's my opinion. Try and experiment with different radios to see which gives you best results...

If you want to use gfree then you need to downgrade below 04.02.17 or the wpthis.ko exploit doesn't work. Its good that you have the eng hboot, that's the best way to go about it...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TrueYears:
Well, just flashed this and NO IMPROVEMENTS AT ALL

battery is shorter

I live in Portland, OR, any Portlantioans lol with a G2 using this radio get better speeds?

The first 4 ones are made with the old radio (which I should have takent he time to find out......) the rest are this new radio and as you can see improvements whatssoever

If you have a G2 and live in Portland, Please share with me our radio =( as I never get pass 4.......................

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flak0:
anyone notice that 3G will not transmit data until H comes on? Basically if it stays on 3G no data transmission.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TrueYears:

HMM in Network mine doesnt say Utms, I think the guy who doctored his photo from Chicago in the earlier post meant UMTS
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flak0:
hmm I wonder why that is happening? I have the latest radio + the libs and i modified the build prop and set ro.ril.powercollapse.disable = 0 and modified the categories for HSUPA and HSPDA

you got way better speeds before.... jealous....

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
I had stock radio from RUU 1.34. I'm in France, on SFR network.

I flashed this radio, here's my feedback:

DL & UL speeds are a little worse, signal catching is the same, but H catching is really not as good as it was. Even GPRS is not as stable as it was.

As of battery stats, i still don't know, i'll report tomorrow. But i'm afraid i'll soon have to revert or try another radio.

Thanks anyway for posting it man :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
That's normal and always was the case. It tries to switch to HSDPA when any data is transmitted. Only when unsuccessful does it stay on UMTS, which tops out at 384kb/s. The fact that it's always on H is a good thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
It also seems to switch from UMTS to HSDPA quicker with the latest radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TrueYears:
What do you mean?? I just flashed the update from the bootloader and thats it.

I did this late at night so i only checked speeds but loading pages is way faster now.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Ummm... how could you tell a difference when your data is currently throttled?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
True, plus it saves battery too. Hanging on HSPA while data is idle would drain the hell out of the battery.

This radio isn't for me. went back to 26.03.02.08. is it possible that this radio did something to the configuration?

i can't seem to get back to the old radio speed which i previously had dl 1.5 ul .5

original speed under 26.03 - dl 1.5, ul .5

speed under 26.06 - dl 0.7 ul. .1

back to 26.03 - dl .

i fact, even if i reflashed back to 26.03, i feel my wifi is affected.

under wifi - dl 3.40 ul - 0.06

after restoring the old radio, the dl and ul appears to be noticeably slower

Another user in the other radio thread said that clearing his dalvik cache fixed this problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Guy Thanks for this info....it's really appreciated.

I have just copied over libhtc and libgangril over, and cleared dalvik, and rebooted (took for ever!).

Seems to be having a hard time connecting to the Google cloud....could be my location. While I can can connect to google (ie icons turn green) on WiFi, it does not seem to connect on either H/3G/E/g.

My Phones details are:

Provider: TMo US

Radio: 12.28h.60.140fu_26.06.02.27_M

ROM: CM7 Nightly #14 RC2

Any thoughts? Did I miss something? What radio are TMO US users relying on now?

Also a quick question.....Will any of these ril files change once I flash a new nightly?
