Switched to Amon Ra of course I have another issue with zip verification failed. Should've gotten an iPhone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gamer_Girl:
Thanks for taking the time to do this :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] M@|ice:
very nice thanks for sharing!

did you change that setting in the options that McLabia mentioned? it helped mine stop locking up every damn time, now its smooth and flawless and even faster.

checked mine and found it...

preferences/app processing mode/AUTO, Indirect...

:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ocbooger:
I use Ringo Lite and back it up with tibu. Occasionally it will get screwy but for the most part it works for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
Turned off Zip Verification and it worked. Is that safe? Also, really glad you use the smaller 3G Icon V, the bigger one was terrible
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
I never have an issue with it on TeamWin either. So, HA!!! :D

BTW, did you happen to get my message (via McLabia) earlier about the Bliss launcher? If so, do you think anything can be done in that respect?

Eternity r88 Build | Ziggy & Imoseyon Kernel | Chainfire3D | Quadrant & AnTuTu Scores

Performance Comparison Testing

For those who want to know some interesting numbers as to a performance comparisons I've found.

The test is of HTC Thunderbolt 'superwipe.zip' clean and a fresh install of Eternity release 88. The only additional software installed, as required for each stage of testing, was Quadrant Advanced, AnTuTu Benchmark (custom test, no SD Card testing), Chainfire3D, Terminal Emulator, & Root Explorer.

Test 1

Clean install of Eternity r88.

Quadrant scores: 1653, 1825, 1975, 2044, 2048, 2024

AnTuTu score: 2569 (CPU- 664/287, 2D- 295, 3D- 728, DB- 285)

Test 2

Install of Imoseyon Lean Kernel v5.0.1GBS

(NO tweaks)

Quadrant scores: 1784,1982, 2023, 1722, 2040, 2012

AnTuTu score: 2471 (CPU- 637/272, 2D- 296, 3D- 716, DB-255)

Test 3

Tweaked Imoseyon Kernel

(option 1 to OC to 1.4GHz & option 8 InteractiveX)

Quadrant scores: 2126, 2533, 2451, 2479, 2448, 2493

AnTuTu score: 3074 (CPU- 886/381, 2D-279, 3D- 754, DB- 345)

Test 4

Installed Chainfire3D Pro

(Under Default OpenGL settings, Reduce texture size (option 3) enabled)

Quadrant scores: 2493, 2479, 2509, 2586, 2454, 2516

AnTuTu score: 3138 (CPU- 894/382, 2D- 296, 3D- 793, DB-330)

Notice the UNTWEAKED Imoseyon kernal performs nearly as fast as the overclocked Ziggy kernal.

In testing Chairfire3D I didn't notice much, if any performance improvements using the other OpenGL options, or they options caused undesirable graphic distortions of icons and pictures.

Conclusion:

The Imoseyon Lean Kernel v5.0.1GBS appears to run more efficiently, even when not overclocked. Overclocking it gave a superior advantage in performance without a perceived lag in scrolling through pages and screens.

**No testing on animals was done in this study.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
Should I be clean flashing these updates? I've been cleaning cache/dalvik and that's it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] microdot:
The font is stock font but actually looks fine. Its the actual widget icons and clock that just seems bigger. For example those icons on the left with the little drawer doesnt touch the sides anymore and cover more of the screen. Not a big deal i guess just thought i would see if anyone else experienced it.

Btw....awesome awesome rom virus. I love it.

That is one hell of a post dude! Thanks for that info. Great job!

In my opinion, if you have ANY posts below yours, you SHOULD make another post if you want it to be read! So don't apologize. I would have done it too. Editing doesn't call anyone's attention back to your post so often, all you're doing is wasting your time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
Hey Scrooge McDuck are you still dirty flashing, or clean flashing? Seems like when I dirty flash I get the issues ever since 82

Then your answer is to wipe. Issues=Wipe
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eschelon:
Good news guys, I think I've fixed Wireless Tether :)

I'm about to push the commit up and then I'll upload a new build which should be ready for download in about 10-15 mins. Please test it to see if it works and report here.

This will work right out of the box so please do not restore anything related to Wireless Tether with Titanium Backup, et al

Those who don't do a full wipe between flashes, PLEASE DELETE YOUR OLD WIRELESS TETHER APP BEFORE FLASHING

Changing kernel problems....

@c_live_lee Thanks for the info in the comparison chart. A VERY need comparison. BTW are you having to do anything special to get other kernels installed and working? For some strange reason, whenever I flash any(IMO or JD) other kernel(while doing both cache wipes before) my phone will never completely boot up even after about 10min. It get to the eternity boot animation and after about 2-3min, the animation freezes and Im force to reload the Rom. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AndroidFileHost:
Not sure if you saw my post but I added this rom to the svn build script on the server so every 30 minutes it is checking for a new commit and zipping them up.

Speaking up which it just build r92
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eschelon:
That's fine. Rather than just zip up our files we also do a lot of back-end tweaks (check for CRLF, zipalign, png optimize, etc) and sign with the keys before we upload our builds
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AndroidFileHost:
ok cool ill change the directory its going to so its in the svn_nightly folder and not mixed up with yours

maybe should be put in the eternity folder since it is eternity now

[Thunderbolt Android Development] GMac0051:
Has anyone else had an issue installing the rom. I've tried multiple DL'ing multiple time from cell and computer and both state that the file is (bad). Anyone have any ideas???
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bxrider117:
I really enjoy this rom. It is hands down one of the best visual roms I have loaded on my Tbolt. With that said, I am experiencing an enormous amount of redraw. If I place an app or a widget on my home screens, the phone redraws and reloads. I am going to try another governor beside lag free and see if that helps.

If anyone has an answer for all of the redraw, I would appreciate it. I have wiped and done a clean install. I am using version 90.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AndroidFileHost:
Try it now. files were being moved around. prob a incomplete file

ok gtg home now. i got off work almost 2 hrs ago and cant seem to stop playing with server and trying to fix that script so people can download from there phone again. Fixed it before but now it just hates me. Ill be home in 10 and will look into it more. Pray the script dev will get back to me since hes not responding to his emails..grr
[Thunderbolt Android Development] microdot:
So everytime you flash a newer version rXX you have to wait for a compatible stock theme? How do you know what version a stock theme works with with what version?

For example downloading r92 now. will theme 1.2 work?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
Is turning off Verification safe when installing a ROM?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
I can not take credit for that comparison post. That post was made by, Bond... Jamez Bond... Ok well, actually it was Jamez007Bond but, I think we're splitting hairs here. ;)

You are flashing the kernels as you would a rom, correct?

Also, these kernels ARE the latest Sense kernels correct?

Also...

The available themes should be compatible with the newest builds unless otherwise informed. At that point someone will probably upload a new theme to go with it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GMac0051:
Will try to re-download now. Hope it works...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] M@|ice:
So I didn't see it posted but are imos kernels compatible with this rom or does of freeze the phone up? I'm curious to try another kernel just for ****s and giggles.

Wow. i failed. thanks, that was exactly it. Just flashed... Loving it. Thanks again.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
Funny you should mention that! I JUST booted up an imoseyon kernel, running the r92 and, thus far, things a smooth. A slightly slower "screen on" time but otherwise, it's looking good. And the screen-on may get better anyway. But, YES! Definitely boots up.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Do I just not know what a redraw really is or what, because I swear I'm not getting them with this rom!

today my phone had a spell where it wasnt getting my messages

Nope......
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothen:
Yes. Reboot and it should go away. It had happened twice to me but it went away. (i am using stock mms)

Oh ok. I use GO SMS, which I HIGHLY recommend to anyone. Beautiful, Feature-Rich, Backup/Restore Feature for settings as well as Messages, A Ga-Zillion themes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothen:
I used that for a while but i would randomly miss mms. I also like how sense 3.5 integrates text messages into the lock screen to pull the text message up immediately

i use chomp

i had the prob today running leankernel

maybe it was just a fluke

im going to try lean again
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cam1pbell:
I'm seriously stuck in 1x and maybe clicks to 3g . any ideas I had a kick ass signal all day. And I was on r90 with no issues . So I installed r92 and since I did that I have been stuck. I even went back to r90. ??????????????????
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
Turn off your Mobile Network and turn it back on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cam1pbell:
Thanks but I tried that . So I'm just going to do a wipe and reinstall .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] flocker92:
Good idea. Keep us updated if it's the Rom or your current network status.

In case some haven't already see the notes for R92 "Fixed Wireless Tether... I think :) Works right out of the box so don't restore any Wireless Tether data with TiBu and please delete old Wireless Tether app before flashing this commit"

WiFi Tether FC on WiFi Toggle Off!

Revision 92:

Built-In Wireless Tether App Force Closes When Toggling WiFi off via the Quick Settings Menu.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm sure it's harmless but, it may be important to someone.

Edit: And yes, I uninstalled the downloaded app before flashing r92.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] flocker92:
I have the same issue. Fortunately I don't tether often so a lot of the tether talk does not apply to me. Other than that, my wireless seems intact.

My wireless tether FCs.

Luke
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
I used to tether sometimes but, I don't have any secondary devices at the moment, in order to test it. My main reason for mentioning the issue is because it's a slight annoyance to ANY user if they use the WiFi toggle.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PrsnlCrcl:
To confirm, you would like the stock green battery just with the percentage numbers inside?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 00negative:
I do as well and WiFi tether app force closes too. Clean install here.

On R92?

ignore this part stupid 10 characters minimum!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] M@|ice:
I'm using it now, using the 1.4 extreme, with 184 unlocked and interactive x governor. I think its running smoother and faster. The transitions are night and day smoother for sure.

Used to use these from him long long ago, but stopped when he focussed more toward CM7. Seems he is focussing on both now. Hows It rrunning for you? What mode you choose?

Yes, it's a reply to my post.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lukesdiesel:
Yup...........

[Thunderbolt Android Development] M@|ice:
Are you able to do a small tweak to the signal bars too? I don't know why but I liked the somewhat thinner 5 bar one from the 3.0 rom better. The 4 looks fat and out of place to me, it doesnt compliment the other icons, just a thought.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Stratejaket:
I second that, I really liked the signal bars in 3.0. Was hoping that would be integrated eventually.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PrsnlCrcl:
I just do the battery mods using the UOT kitchen. There are some options for bars in there, but I have found that they usually do not show up after installing. I do also prefer the 5 bar signal icons. I need to learn how to do manual edits so that I can change things like that. Sorry that I cannot be of much help with that yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] flocker92:
Of course. I know why you stated it and I replied to show it's not just you and to let other people know it's not just them. I'm just relieved that I don't have to **** with tethering. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
lol Me too! It seems to be a real PITA for the devs in this rom and of course for those poor bastards who have to have it.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Also, I noticed after my original post, as I'm sure a few others have also, that Wireless Tether is Force Closing no matter what - not just in the conditions I originally described. If you attempt to open it, you'll be forcing it closed.

Did you see that Eschelon, or should I add it to the repo? You seem to follow along here pretty well so, I figure why waste the time and space if you're already on it.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] eschelon:
Yes, we see and are working as fast as we can on the bugs you guys post. Ports are usually quite buggy at first, but we've been trying to get the ROM as stable as possible in the last 5 days since this ROM went live :)

We'll get to everything as soon as we possibly can. The bug fixes and other mods all just take a little time to fix/do since Virus has been busy working and with family stuff, Zig's been buried in work, and I've actually been on vacation with my fam this whole time :D

Just keep me in mind if you ever figure it out, and share pics of your work with us when your done. I'm very interested in everyone's ideas and creations.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] M@|ice:
Hey now there's an idea....why stop at 5 bars. Way to go above and beyond. Woohoo!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PrsnlCrcl:
Ok, I have attached a zip file that will change the battery to a stock battery with the percentage numbers on the inside. This file is ONLY for people running the 1.1 Stock Theme. I have attached a shot of what the battery will look like as it does change colors based on the percentage. If anyone needs it for a different version, let me know and I will get it created. Let me know if you have questions.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jwa0042:
You can't have wifi on while the hotspot is on though, can you? I didn't think the phone could broadcast a wireless network and connect to one at the same time. I could definitely be wrong though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
It's Kool and the Gang, man! I wasn't rushing you at all. Just wanted to see if you caught it so, I didn't unnecessarily clutter up the repo. Thanks for the reply. :)

I would love that so I am going to have to figure out how to do it. I will let you know once I have been able to tackle it.

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

I believe you are correct here. I think I tried this at one point and it shut wireless off.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
You're absolutely right but, it still shouldn't be FCing. And turning one of them OFF definitely shouldn't make that happen. :) But, I figured out shortly after that it's FCing anyway. It wasn't conditional. I just happened tofind it that way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] icedmayhem:
one thing ive noticed on this rom is that facebook does not like to sync all the contact pictures no matter what i try and do. easy way to see what im saying is if you goto your phonebook and check only facebook, not all the photos are there for the contacts. whereas on like bamf it worked flawlessly. i understand this is a work in progress and htc changed the way there friendstream works so it may be a side effect of it. just an observation i noticed
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PrsnlCrcl:
I have not flashed r92 yet...I am still on r91. If you uninstall the one in the ROM and then do a fresh install of Wifi Tether and make sure the needed settings are set, does it work then? Mine is not FCing on r91.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
What app do I use to get rid of the WiFi Tether.apk, and a few others that I have no use for?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PrsnlCrcl:
I just checked this on my phone (again running r91 w/ stock theme) and the only contacts that to not have pictures are the ones that don't have a picture set in Facebook. It seems to be working for me. I did notice that it took a little while for the phone to go through and link contacts, but things seem to be fine once it completes the linking.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Stratejaket:
Titanium backup works great

Sent from my Synergy driven Thunderbolt...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PrsnlCrcl:
You are asking to uninstall the apps, correct? If so, you can go to 'Menu', 'Settings', 'Applications', 'Manage Applications', and then find the specific app you want to remove from either the 'Downloaded' or 'All' tabs. Once you find the app, click on it and then click the 'Uninstall' button to remove it.

I actually use Titanium Backup (a must have app in my opinion) to do that along with other things like backing things up, but the option above is available without downloading/purchasing another app.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
Thanks! I'm gonna keep it on my phone and use Audio Manager (aka The Fake Audio Manager that really hides your apps and pictures you don't want your girlfriend to see) to hide the apps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 00negative:
You can use any file manager that has root access like astro or root explorer. Then just go to system/app and delete the .apks of the apps you don't want
[Thunderbolt Android Development] johnnysyeah:
Uninstalled my wireless tether app then installed r92.

But the Wi-Fi Hotspot app still doesn't work for me.

I can connect to it, but internet won't load.

So I put in the wifi_tether_v3_1-pre101.apk and did the setting tweaks mentioned quite a few posts ago.

Atook, did you ever try to put a password and make it work?

When I place a password and I try to enter the password on my laptop when connecting, I get an error saying it needs to be the right type of key. (WPA key).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] M@|ice:

fixed my own problem, opened the facebook app, went to friends and scrolled down the list as it loaded all their pictures, now they are all showing up on my phone and in my contacts. odd but works yey
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
Haven't tried but, I see no reason it wouldn't work as it did in the previous revisions. I have no need for it at the moment though so, I'm not inclined to try it out myself. :D

In other news, is anyone who flashed Lean Kernel a little underwhelmed by its performance on this rom? And before someone decides to be douchey, I'm NOT bashing imoseyon or his kernels in any way! As a matter of fact, I used them regularly before I went to Synergy.

Anyway, I'm experiencing less then stellar performance since switching and, I was wondering if anyone else has as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PrsnlCrcl:
I actually feel the opposite...to me if feels a bit more snappy. I do think this is a bit relative, however, and may find I feel differently in the morning ;)
