Me to. Sum ppl have working 4G most do not. But this is a cm thread and yeah don't want to disrespect slayher in any form. But there's a thread about this here on xda.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EggoEspada:
I just want to be clear that the nightlies they were referring to is OMFB - an AOSP based ROM like CyanogenMod. Just want to make sure there's no confusion.

Quick question, what exactly does "working RIL" mean?? What is different from the stock radio with 4G LTE/3G working? What is the advantage of "working RIL"?

My wife and I are coming from HTC EVO's running (still running) the latest nightlies of CM7. 3G data is horrendous where I live with Sprint, and there is no 4G on the horizon so upgrading was only a matter of time and finding the TB on amazon wireless for $129 a piece (and the forthcoming data tier system) made me take the plunge.

Hopefully I should have my phones rooted and running tomorrow night, thanks in advance!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:
Working RIL means 3g/4g work wen phone is turned on, instead of a work around.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:
That's wat I meant my bad for confusion.

I can't loan mine out and there's no way in hell I'm creating a twitter account to communicate, but I noticed that the car home launcher application is not installed in the system/apps directory. I've tried to install it manually and to push it to my phone but it keeps failing. Is it possible it's something that simple?

LTE works and the icon for 4G... the signal bars are fubar though :p Hopefully thats fixed soon.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
yeah thats a rom issue lol, glad it worked for you :)

well birdmans thunderkang is definitely still screwy. mics are still reversed for phone calls.

Work for me, do a permission fix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
yeah i'm definitely waiting for at least a real RC before I try cm7 again. I love it to death but too much effort is involved to try and get these releases fully functioning. Big ups to lahyer for doing this though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jvward:
4G is working for me :)

One thing. The 4g icon looks mad getto lol :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Goronok:
No joke, the icon couldn't get any fuglier.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
Holy cow.

The DSP was EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. I sold my iPod to finance the 'droid and I found the sound output to be barely sufficient.

Right now I'm listening to some bassy/clubby music with my headphones and I can feel the bass all the way down to my soul.

Well worth the quirks that come with such an early release to actually enjoy my music again!

WOOT!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MechaMorph:
Is the keyboard being squat a bug or is that a change in 2.3.3 itself?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
In an effort to save battery, rom developers are turning off the soft key lights unless its fully dark where you are. Try holding your hand over the proximity sensors for a few seconds ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Go a couple pages back and you'll find what you need :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swimminsurfer256:
I literally have had no problems yet with this release. Zero FCs and zero reboots. Great 3g speeds. Fantastic battery life.

I don't use Bluetooth or wifi.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
have you tried making a call? Any problems with the mic?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bhilgeman:
Since this only works in CM7 ROMs I thought I would post this here.

I've owned a G1, MyTouch Slide, and an HD2 before I got my Thunderbolt last week.

I was able to easily turn the screen off by pressing the end call button, well not with the Thunderbolt. The placement of the power button drove me crazy! I'm sure some of you have only owned phones with this feature and are used to it but I couldn't stand it. So I found a work around..

There is an app in the market called "screen off and lock". I mapped this app to long pressing the search button like this:

Download Screen off and lock and configure the app

go to menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>input>search key behavior>long press search app(check it)>custom application>application and choose screen off and lock.

Now you can long press the search button to turn the screen off! :)

Now if I can figure out a way to turn the screen on without the power button I'd be happy. Volume down to turn the screen on would be ideal...

Anyone else noticing when connecting with WiFi that you can't pull an IP address? It just says Unavailable for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
lol my buddy has an LG ally and does this. I hate it. lol!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] That's:
I am using an app called "No lock" along with the application that you mentioned in the above post. With no lock + Widgetlocker, I still have a lockscreen + my volume button will turn the screen on! It's great!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Damn its sad to see that lately this thread hasnr had much action as it used to. I think there were two or three posts in the last few hours. Cm7 should be at the top of the list for the thunderbolt development threads but I guess everyone is in limbo because of the lack of attendtion this rom has gotten and the lack of full 4g function. Is crazy to see that the Droid x just got lucky and were able to flash cm7 and they have nightlies already. This was about 1 week ago or less and we are at month the 4 month mark and we still have only a few alpha builds. And now that slayer is leaving where does that leave the tbolt on tbe list of priorities? Anyone have an idea?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
The droid x doesn't have the first ever 4g radio either.. and cvpcs has been working on the droid x for a looong time
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Exactly what was said above should be repeated. The Droid X doesn't have the first (or any for that matter) 4G radio. Nor does it run as well as the Thunderbolt. Give it some time and all will work out I'm sure. For now we can just hope that development will continue on the RIL whether it be by a CM member or an OMFGB member. As long as a RIL gets made and functions FULLY all will prosper!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] themikeyan:
I think i will tomorrow, i'll flash it when i wake up and give it a try for a day

Mike
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wrich73:
Thanks! I guess that's really the only thing positive about WiMax, it was a separate radio from 3G hehe
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sabbotage:
Slayher isn't leaving the tbolt. He was just simply stating that his family and the new baby are priority right now. He will still be working on the thunderbolt when he has time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] n2imagination:
Don't know if you spoke to him about it to get your info but it seems to me that he is in fact not going to be able to work on dev stuff at all. He has big family, deployment, and schooling to do which in my mil experience means no time left. So grateful for all he has done to this point but don't expect much more with the time he has in his busy life. We do have great devs picking up the torch though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gdanko:
Here is the situation as I know it. slayher feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Two things outstanding:

1) ril

2) video recorder mic bug

RE: ril, it is my understanding that cvpcs is working on this much more now that DX has nightlies

RE: video recorder mic bug, slayher is working on this one and should be an easy fix once he has the right tools to fix it.

The .5/.6 kernel fixed video chat for gtalk but killed battery. However, as I know it only official 2.3.4 devices (Nexus) are supported by 2.3.4 gtalk video chat. Lithid patched it in by removing the device check but official CM releases do not do gtalk video.

My observations were that 0.4 had awesome battery, better than Stock Sense. Then 0.6 came along and fixed some other things but broke battery. Well, this is what I did to circumvent it:

1) Install 0.4 and take a Nandroid backup

2) Install 0.6 and configure everything as you like it; take a Nandroid backup

3) Boot into recovery

4) Clear cache and Dalvik cache

5) Select custom restore and restore boot from your 0.4 Nandroid backup to get the working kernel

6) Reboot

I LOSE gtalk video chat but the rest of the CM world doesn't have it so I don't care at this point. Now I have been on battery for 1h 6m 20s, I have these stats, and I am still at 100%:

Android System 66%

Cell Standby 12%

Phone Idle 11%

Voice calls 10%

WeatherBug 2%

I am back where I was with 0.4 but have the fixes included in 0.6. So far so good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sabbotage:
I read his blog like several others. He had the link posted on twitter and its been posted in this thread several times too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
Not a bad idea... I am on 0.6 and getting excellent battery life with Imoseyon's latest kernel 3.1.4.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] busterbrown77:
Is anyone getting serious keyboard lag on 0.6? The right side will stop working randomly.. Its really starting to bug me. Hoping there's a fix before I reflash.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
I'm having an issue that no one else seems to be having. I ran GPS Status and got a solid lock on 9 satellites while I was on Froyo (Sense). I rebooted to recovery directly from GPS Status, did a nandroid backup, wiped data/cache/dalvik 3x each, and installed RC 0.6.

The first thing I did after flashing RC 0.6 was to run GPS Status. It quickly got a solid lock. Then I ran Google Maps. Although Maps will locate me by wifi and cell triangulation, it is not centering based on the GPS (there's still a blue ring showing my potential locations).

GPS Status still gets a solid lock every time I run it, but Maps will not get a GPS lock no matter what I try.

Any ideas, anyone?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] necosino:
Fix permissions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cadillac Johnson:
Either im extremely lucky, or im doing something different. Just went outside and got a gps lock in about 30 seconds exactly where I'm standing.

I am running the 402w radio which did help with gps locks though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Syco54645:
I can confirm that this works. Here is rc0.4 kernel in update.zip form. I take no responsibility if this borks your phone. Worked fine for me.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/zg76fy
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Syco54645:
I will have certain keys stop responding for what ever reason. Really annoying. I hit them and nothing happens though that area on the screen picks up other touches...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Thanks, but I tried that a few days ago. I'll try again as soon as I leave work, though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
That was my experience on RC 0.4. Not having the same luck with RC 0.6.

I'm running the 402w radio, as well...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
I installed version 6 and ran it for a few days. I've gotta say I was very happy with it and it easily could be your daily driver. Once I got 4g working it always worked even through reboots.

I appreciate everything Slayher has done and wish him well with his family. Family always comes first and you have to respect him for that.

I do hope development continues with this project. It would be great if CVPCS would drop everything he's doing and give the T-Bolt some love... :)

Thank you very much Slayher!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Reporting my experience with 0.6:

1. GPS - locks on FAST and is accurate as hell. The only issue I had was Beautiful Widgets showing that I was in a different location than where I actually was. Fixed this by manually inputting location since I don't travel much outside of my hometown and it probably saves battery life over geolocation anyway.

2. 3G -> Wifi -> 3G - zero problems whatsoever. 4G just started rolling out in Raleigh today, so I haven't had an opportunity to test it out yet.

3. Battery - amazing battery life on CDMA/Evo auto.

4. Camera - default camera app works fine. I do not have the black thumbnail previews that others have reported.

Few questions:

1. ROM Manager comes with CM7, so how can we make the app update when there's a market update? Doesn't show up under my apps and gives me the option to install from the market.

2. The Portable Hotspot that is embedded in Wireless settings does NOT work for me. I'm able to set everything up, but it never seems to assign an IP to my laptop. On the other hand, Wireless Tether works just fine. I'd like to be able to use the Portable Hotspot though, as that would be one less app I have to install to have the feature and because when I'm using Wireless Tether, the Portable Hotspot notification shows up in my status bar as well (total of two notification icons: one for Wireless Tether, one for Portable Hotspot). Anyone else experiencing this or know of a fix?

My flashing process in CWR:

1. Wipe /data, /cache, /system, davlik, batt stats

2. Install CM7

3. Install gapps and reboot

First two times around, it was acting kinda funky (wasn't restoring market apps, took a long time to get data, etc.), so I just repeated the process above. Got everything to work and stick the third time around. Shrug, just try wiping and flashing again for those having issues. Might work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a32guy:
Thanks Slayher for the update, downloading now!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrchambo:
a32Guy, are you referring to RC 0.6 dated 6/15? Or a newer update?

Go for it. Everyone is just questioning you because they are jonesing for a new update and thought you had magically received an update from Slayher that no one else knows about.

For gps, start on cm then make a nandroid.. go to sense and do the gps steps will then restore your backup without wiping
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
need advise here I've been on. 6 since release and its been great

but today I could not get 4g at all it goes from 3g to none then back to 3g

any input
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Thanks, but if you read my post fully, you'll see that I followed those steps in Sense before flashing CM7. Perhaps it's not wiping before flashing CM7 that would make a difference? But don't you have to wipe going from sense to CM7?

Plus, I believe that if that were the problem, I would not be getting a lock in GPS Status in CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gorgio1:
is there a way we can send a report or issue tip right from our phones?

it would help alot cuz when something goes wrong i usually forget about it and never post it or question the problem ....

just some input...

thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mr Spiff:
no wifi after the 6/15 update

after i applied the recent update i cannot use wifi, it will just not connect.

anyone else experience this? ideas?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Try clearing the dhcp folder or wipe /data. I believe those both work to fix wifi issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JFMFT:
Is there a way to set it so the capacitive buttons light up always when pressed? Currently mine only light up in very dark rooms. I searched the thread, but didn't come up with any results based on my search terms. Apologies if this has already been covered.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mr Spiff:
how to i clear our my dhcp folder?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
Using root explorer, command line, or whatever you are comfortable with - delete the following folder:

/data/misc/dhcp (don't worry, it will be automatically recreated when you start wifi back up.

Sent from my ThunderBolt on Cyanogenmod
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mr Spiff:
and i assume clearing /data would be done the same way?

and that it would automatically generate files/folders as needed, if i were to do so?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Wiping data is done in cwm. Try clearing the dchp folder first, that seems to do the trick for most.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mr Spiff:
clearing dhcp folder did not work
[Thunderbolt Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
If you dont have Root Explorer and don't want to shell out the money for it, try ES File Explorer. If you go to the settings, you'll find a root option and youll be able to delete the folder that way as well :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
You don't have to wipe going from a sense rom to a cm7 backup.. and thanks but I did read your post if you read mine I said do your steps but don't wipe..

I had to wipe /data when I was on CM7 to get wifi up initially.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] RossLH:
Decided to restore back to a rooted stock ROM. The pre-alpha worked great for a while, but it seemed like the radio gradually degraded. LTE stopped working, so I dropped back to EvDo. That worked for a little while, until I found out today that I hadn't been getting calls, text messages, or voicemails for a couple days. Data worked fine, but nothing else. CDMA worked fine....but I'm in a 4G area, so I decided to just wait this whole RIL mess out until a stable release comes out.

And to make sure people know I'm not trying to trash talk CM7 and/or slayher: CM7 rocks, I loved it while it worked and cant wait to get back to it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Same here. Absolutely loved the ROM but missed several critical emails from work so I'll wait unit things get sorted out. Radio/data would randomly disappear. Oh well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idkwhothatis123:
Been running alpha as a daily driver, works great. 4g handoffs are a little sketchy but hey, it works. My question is does this rom have a screenshot app tucked away in it? Ran cm on other devices and coulda sworn it came with them... could be mistaken though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mr Spiff:
i have root explorer, its totally worth it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] busterbrown77:
Any idea what causes this? Desperately trying to find a fix... Yea its extremely annoying...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
On the latest build what kernel is it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tecknical:
anyone else not able to get GPS to work at all? I tried wiping, installing different kernels, nothing makes it work. It's not just slow to get a lock, it doesn't work at all. I never even see the little GPS icon in the status bar
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Go to sense. Get a lock. Go back to cm7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tflogic:
Still wasn't able to. Shame since this is probably the only feature that's lacking for my own personal daily use.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
Go to sense download gps status tool app go outside get a lock and recover cm7 while gps is turned on
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tflogic:
That's exactly what I did and no dice. It took 3 wipes/flashes to finally first catch mobile data on my device. GPS didn't work any of those previous times either. I think for the moment my phone just hates CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
Try the omfgb I heard people have good luck with that onev
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
I have had this problem on every rom I have used...stock, BAMF, CM7 and a couple other GB roms. I called Verizon and their response was that this magical update that is coming soon will fix all sorts of problems. Hopefully it will fix a lot of things and the dev's can work those fixes in to their roms.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Thanks. And you're right. And that sounded harsh from me. Sorry.

For those who had problems with GPS on CM7, would GPS Status get a fix?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gdanko:
Hmm I only had to do that Sense BS once. I use GPSTest and always get locks. And really, is GPS on a phone all that important? Sheesh.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gdanko:
estrongs file explorer does much the same as root explorer, no?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sabbotage:
I had problems with it too and here are the steps I took. My GPS icon wouldn't even appear for me either, but after doing the following I get a lock within several seconds, even indoors.

1. Make nandroid of CM7

2. Wipe completely/format system/wipe dalvik then restore sense backup.

3. Boot sense and turn GPS on and get a lock.

4. Reboot with GPS left on and wipe completely/format system/wipe dalvik then restore CM7.

5. Reboot into CM7, turn on GPS, and download GPS status and run it to get a lock.

Those steps worked for me and I did wipe everything between restores and it worked fine. Hope that helps :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] defsquad:
what a bummer. i had thought things were running well, but then, yesterday while on the phone, it rebooted. :( i'm using 402w radio and wiped everything before flashing this rom. just looked down and it rebooted again. lol. anyone else having reboot issues with this rom/radio problem? i know its likely something on my phone since i hadn't read too many reboot related issues with this rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Hemorrdroid:
Depends on the user, to some it is vital. Just because its not important to you doesn't mean its not to him. Some people travel a lot and don't have a stand alone gps unit. I don't use my phone to make very many phone calls, but that doesn't make the call function less important to others.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lortay78:
No, I don't think so. I like Estrongs ui, but it only goes to sd card as far as I know. I have heard Astro lets you get into system files, but also that it isn't reliable. (Haven't used it myself.) Root explorer gives you full access to the file system of the whole phone.

Edit: I apologize for my ignorance. I was completely wrong. ES does allow you to access internal files. I guess I should have looked a little closer before I spouted out inaccurate information.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scook9:
Astro has never caused any issues for me...use it on mt TB as well as my Dinc
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
YES! And I'm also on RC 0.6 with 402w radio.

I'd never had a single reboot since launch day on any rom until I was on the phone yesterday and got a reboot. Now my phone just rebooted a second time while sitting on my desk unused.
