Hey guys, I just thought I'd post after recently coming bak to Virus from the "Dark Side" (das bamf remix)

N for me, the grass definitely is NOT greener! I switched to see if could get those crazy +20hrs battery life. I found my battery life is btr here (around 14 w moderately heavy use) n the speed is unparalleled! (bamf is sluggish by comparison)

Virus, you rock!

Oh, n the scrolling is an improvement to bamf. Maybe bamf is the "Premiere" TB ROM, but Virus (in my opinion) is the best.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gunthermic:
That's funny I just switched to BAMF Stripped 1.1 and it is very fast. But battery is not as good, but I have not switched to Ziggys, I want to give there rom a chance. It's more de-sensed though I think..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CleveRuse:
Yeah, I tried every kernel/ radio/ CPU speed combo I could think of, n the scrolling nvr got btr. N now that I'm bak on virus I notice its faster. I guess my phone just likes virus.

Good thing we have options
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CleveRuse:
Hey guys, I know this post doesn't really belong here but wanted to get some opinion on it (is it redundant or necessary?)

Thinking bout starting a thread where people voice there opinion on wut should constitute heavy, moderate, minimal,etc... battery use.

That way when people post bout batt life we can get a better idea of wut they're doing. Maybe include categories like: extremely heavy, heavy, moderately heavy,etc...

Also, people could post there own battery life (and set up) on this thread, rather than be limited to one particular ROM's thread.

PM me whether u think that'd work.

Just tried to update my flash player to 10.3 and update failed. Anyone having problems with flash? Come think of it, flash has never worked in browser for me, anyone got a solution?

Even without flash, this Rom is THE BEST! Can't wait for Virus to update this!!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] JS0724:
You need to remove the version of flash that came with ROM from /system. Use Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ADB, etc. Then reboot and install from market.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 3|Saint|5:
Have you tried uninstalling the Flash that's already on the phone with Titanium Backup? That's what I had to do when I had problems updating the flash.

EDIT: Wasnt fast enough in typing. Somebody beat me. :(

Hey guys, Really want to try Virus Rom out, Which one should I try first? Senseless or with Sense? just looking for opinions, I really want smooth and stable. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang02:
I'm using with sense and I've never had any issues. It's fast and stable.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anourack:
Just get the latest build with ziggy latest kernel. Beats every single Rom out there right now. Not fast, its blazing!

I got a bootloop when I tried to install the power control widget in the noti panel while on the senseless version.

Worked great with the sense version so I've stuck with that one and deleted most of the stuff I don't need/want.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] McLabia:
I'm running mine with sense totally removed and using GOlauncher and its the most stable of any Rom. I'm also on ziggys may third kernel. Great combo imo. I haven't had any reboot at all except for tehen I oc past 1.6.

Not a big deal, but can anyone tell me why my HTC Car Home App does not show up in my app drawer? I can see it and even run it from Titanium, but it is nowhere else to be found.

Just did this BTW, and was able to install the latest flash player from the market. Thanks for the help!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dak_181:
Any idea when the latest software base, 1.13.605.7, will be incorporated into this? i love this rom but i really want to have the new OTA without having to go back to stock or change roms. Is it being worked on or should i look for something else?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dak_181:
Also it would be awesome to get this into ROM manager! Not because its hard to install... but so i can get updates automatically :D

My new favorite ROM. In fact, my only ROM now!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] -J450N:
First rom to download and flash LOVE IT but, 2 problems hoping someone can help

I have launcher pro plus bought but after installing this rom i cant seem to download the update for LP or get LLP to unlock it. When i try to download the update to LP is goes all the way to installing and then theres and error and say it cant install. i get the same problem with the update to Facebook app any ideas? i bought LLP from the market and not thru Paypal.

Also i dont have the black market. I had it when i 1st flashed but after i rebooted it went back to the plain android market.

Ill be honest i didnt come thru this whole thread to see if anyone else had this problem, theres just soo many pages :o

Any help i am grateful for, thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 3|Saint|5:
Use titanium backup to uninstall LP and facebook and then try installing those from the market. As for the themed market use a root explorer to delete the Market Updater.apk and then use titanium backup to uninstall the updates to the market app.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] -J450N:
Thanks, fb works, ran into a snafoo with the LP uninstall, reboot and it stuck in the boot animi, so im reflashing and trying again
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Corey@rabbit:
Other option, download another launcher. Uninstall LP. Download new LP.

If you want, go top my epidemic thread. I have the updated LP to match the blue theme if that's what your running.

Has anyone noticed their battery stat rapidly drop after unplugging from the charger? Mine just went from 100% to 96% in a flash, immediately after I disconnected the phone.

I'm using the newer 'May 3rd' Ziggy kernel. I noticed a similar plummet w the 'May 2nd' one, ...n other times I'm not sure wut setup I had ...this is bs!

Oh, just two nights ago I was using an older Ziggy, I think May 1st, n my battery stayed at 100% for over an hr (w moderate use), till I finally passed out. Then when I woke up, 8 hrs Ltr, my battery was at 88% (screen off profile at 245) ...then proceeded to rapidly decline.

...seems like very strange behavior. I can't seem to attain any regularity from phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CleveRuse:
Now I'm at 92% battery life -from 100%- after 23 1/2 min's ( w continuous use)

Is Anyone getting good battery life for longer than a day? I've had maybe 3 good days since I bought it (on release date)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] detox246:
Its not just this rom and its not just Ziggy kernels. It happens to everyone on the tbolt. I actually use an external charger and don't seem to have the funny battery cycle anymore. I have 3 batteries and when one dies I just pop the other in and boot up and throw the other on to charge and its seems to read battery a lot better and I don't get a huge drain on power up. It always reads 99% (1% drop)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CleveRuse:
Yeah, I figured as much, I just feel like complaining, lol, I think all the people touting that they're getting 40+ hrs w "moderate" use is making me bitter;)

I keep hoping they'll get sick of me whining n share their 'jedi' secrets, Lol...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
Here's a good article to read and why I quit worrying about my battery life, and just enjoy my phone and charge it as much as possible.

http://marmoset.pulsememe.com/your-smartphones-battery-gauge-is-lying-to-yo
[Thunderbolt Android Development] detox246:
there are no secrets. moderate use to some would be little to no use for me. there is no way anyone would get 40+ hour with moderate use out of this phone. those so called moderate users hardly touch their devices
[Thunderbolt Android Development] McLabia:
For those running the newest Ziggy Kernel, are you guys running the BFS or CFS version? How is your battery life on both ends as well as performance? Ive been running the BFS kernel, but I just flashed in the CFS kernel. Just kinda wanna get some peoples thoughts on it...

Exactly what I do and I seem to stay above 90% better. I also wipe battery stats occasionally just to clear it up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CleveRuse:
Thnx yall, I read the the article, I feel better now:) Glad to know its not just me. Maybe ill get rid of the numbers on my battery stat icon. I tend to obsess about the most ridiculous things.

I actually restored to old ziggy n I'm bak to bout 12% drain n hr (fairly heavy use - doing whatever the hell I feel like doing for average of 45min's of a given hr)

Its just hard to accept seeing it deplete like that when I've seen it perform better, n I can't place my finger on wats changed (cuz I push, pull, mod framework, install... alot)

Summation: shut up n enjoy ....Thnx again!

I'll look into external charger
[Thunderbolt Android Development] McLabia:
12 bucks you cant go wrong dude. Theyre slow to process payment, but theyre quick to ship. It would cost you more to go and buy one anywhere else and with this you get three decent 1500 mah batteries to go with it. I love it and I have a revolving battery carousel. lol

Great, now if only I could return my hardly ever used, over-priced, $50 'extended battery'/ brick!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] McLabia:
I returned mine. If youre within your thirty day period, youre good. If not, youre stuck with it. I would suggest since the quantity is so low on them that if you cant return it, try sellin it on craigslist or in the market here. Drop off some price because its now "Used" and you should recoup most of your money back easily.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrLoompa:
When it comes to battery drain things get murky. I watch all my processes and am continually watching what apps are using the most juice. But in the end I still ultimately couldnt figure anything out. It wasnt till I installed tool widgets which enabled me to monitor my signal strength, mA and other service toggles so I can switch things on and off and see the effect on the actual drain in terms of mA.

Last nite I had something draining my battery and couldnt figure it out. Nothing showing up in services running or running apps. Something was taking juice so I started monitoring my widget tools that I placed all on one page. For me, my average mA draw sits around 150 - 300 on standard use for me. Last nite my mA draw was sitting 400 - 500 mA.

Well last nite it was raining and my signal strength was getting weaker. I noticed that when my signal strength was -79 or higher i.e -79, -78, -77 etc, my mA draw was 150 mA. As soon as my signal strength dropped to -80 or lower, immediately my mA draw jumped to -450 mA. I started toggling 3g on and off and noticed massive mA draw based on signal strength. NONE of this info is available in your services or running apps tools. Its the mystery drain that I couldnt find anywhere and finally figured out.

The only way to know whats up with your battery and your device is to install all the device monitoring tools and start monitoring manually all your usage and watch your mA draw as you use your device. No app i.e spare parts, running services, running apps, monitors whatever service it is that sucks battery from 3g/4g usage.

Quite obviously......just monitoring your running services and running apps does NOT tell the whole story, like many folks on the boards preach. There may be many of these mystery processes running that are not documented anywhere in your device tools.

Whah whah whah, me me me. Seriously? I'm not donating because you haven't given me anything new lately?

How about donating because he gave you something in the first place? He took time out of his life to give to the community and never asked for anything in return.

Now, all you that cant even go back a page or 3 are complaining there isn't an update.

Stop complaining. Either go to a different ROM, build one yourselves or shut up and wait.

Heres something to think about. What problems does this ROM have? None that I can really find. Why update if theres nothing broken? Unlike other ROM makers, theres no real need to update daily.

Now with that being said, like bad4u6669(and its not being a brown noser in any way) Virus has had things going on. While I HAVE given him crap about deving for the Evo before the Bolt, its purely because of WANTS that we have.

I dunno about you but I use this ROM because it WORKS. It says a lot about his builds. If you want it faster, donate and it will force his attention to it. Other wise stfu and deal or go to another rom. Your loss if thats your choice. :)
