    I had them already from Darkys. All I had to do was factory reset, wipe system, wipe dvalic, and flash insanity.

    I am finding wifi very weak on the phone now though. Could you recommend a better modem for me? What do you use?

    I'm also slightly worried about the android system bug as it's running at >15% battery usage though further testing is required.

    Ah man, I`m in the middle of testing every feckin modem I get me hands on.
    As I go along I`m just making notes of them, I had posted them up some where here, but here they are any ways....

    JPY...good call quality, good signals,9 sats, 30 metre lock, fairly good!!
    JVE...good sound quality on call
    JVP...Outside up to 8 satelites, navigation was very good, fairly overcast, I`d say its a keeper.
    BVJJW2....weak 6 sat, mostly 1-2 sats not to bad...
    JVR... very good, got up to 10 sats in GPS Test, 10 metre lock in Gmaps, perfect lock in G navigation, waiting on a call for quality
    JV5...very good, between 8-11 sats in GPS test, 10 metre lock in gmaps outside, perfect lock in navigation, a keeper
    JV9...Very good, stronger signal than others, 9-11 sats, 10 metre lock in Gmaps, perfect navigation, a keeper.
    Trying JV6.....

    Where can I find JV9 for CM? it's not in the Insanity thread (from what I can find)

    Hope the wifi is improved on them (though not sure the modem even has anything to do with wifi...). Modems do seem to be a bit of a dark art, unquantifiable.

    How did you go about flashing CM?

    With CM you sometimes have to flash it twice.

    Which market do you have?

    Did you factory reset/wipe caches/disable lagfix, etc?

    I just had a look through my back-ups and this is an app where you can switch from old to new market and back, can be fairly handy, give it a go and see if it helps.

    APK

    Did you flash CM twice?

    ya I did all of the above and now for some reason I cant go into recovery any more, I was reading up and apparently google has blocked cm from using the marked in an attempt to discourage people from using custom roms but there is a fix I just cant find it lol

    I'm not near my laptop now, but you can get your recovery back simply by flashing a kernel via Odin.

    If you go to XDA, Teamhacksungs ICS build 11,search for initial kernel, it was posted by a dude called PAGOT.
    There's instructions as well, it got me out of a fix when I made a mess.

    Let me know how you get on.

    Try CM again, it's solid man.

    What browser are you using?

    I use Boat Browser, slim and fast.

    I really did not like the fact that there was no 4x9 keypad for texting with cm and also no market I might just go back to darky 9.5 I had no issues whatsoever with it

    Unless they come out with something amazing, I won't be going near them.
    Not much buzz over on the site from the HD release.

    I'm having zero also, big change from V12, but I'd say that was the apps and how I restored them, that gave me all the problems.

    It seems that when a kernel other than stock is used, bootloops happen.

    Best wait til an official release is here.

    Still on Darky's 8.1 here! Have been running it without any major issues for a long time now!!
    Thinking about upgrading to latest insanity or an ICS port(are they reliable enough now?) - Any recommendations?

    Lol, I recommend... :/

    If your willing to solve problems or what not when flashing, then I would recommend ICS, if not then.....
