I wouldn't quite call it "stock" android. I think of something like the Nexus One/S when I think of stock. CM7 is AOSP gingerbread with a TON of fixes, enhancements, and optimizations. Really best of the best in ROMs. That being said, the installation procedure is just like any other ROM. Enjoy!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
lol okay genius I meant a vanilla experience. Nitpicky people annoy me. :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
So you're saying that its worth trying? As long as I keep a backup of my stock rom that I'm happy with.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbisch:
Exactly. Just backup your current ROM, flash CM7 and if you don't like it, revert to your backup.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
stock. Under heavy usage i probably drain 10%/hr. It nets out to me getting about 15 hours per charge.

ok, is slayher aware of the issue?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wraithdu:
I don't know. Apparently this has been mentioned before... somewhere around page 720. I think it's just been buried in everything else and overshadowed by the GPS posts (my GPS works OK and locked on last night, so I'm def not in that category). I'm not sure of the best way to report it to slayher or even find out if he already knows. I'd hate to bug the guy, he's a busy man.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
we really need him to get this merged into the official tree so other cm devs might take a crack at some of the bugs - and we'd be able to report bugs after an official RC.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Not to burst your bubble but I don't think it's going to get merged with the mainline any time soon. Too many changes dealing with RIL and other stuff. Compare his base branch with the mainline. While I hope it isn't true, we'll just have to see.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
if the droid x with 2nd init could merge up, im sure that this can too - perhaps cvpcs could lend a hand?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ampinc:
I have two issues

1 update notification show fail registration

2 in development tools Google log in service FC

Has anyone seen this other than that all good keep up the good work
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Oh, I'm by no means saying it won't. I'm just saying people that expect nightlies to start tomorrow shouldn't hold their breath.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Chris Hansen:
I understand, but I'm trying to promote visibility of an issue with this ROM that multiple people are having (cell standby and android system eating battery). I get told that I don't know what I'm talking about and that it's my battery that is at fault. I ask for proof instead of taking an unwarranted claim as fact. He says that it's my responsibility to prove that he is indeed correct (it should never be someone else's responsibility to prove what comes out of YOUR mouth).

People like this need to get off their high horse and also, as I stated previously, need to stop spreading rumors as fact. There's no irrefutable evidence, nor have I seen anything even showing the THUNDERBOLT extended batteries to be inferior. Stating otherwise as fact is not only incorrect, but is against the law without proof ( it's called slander for those of you that don't know).

I want to see these issues resolved, but if things like this are left alone, then the ripple effect occurs. Now somebody says "I read on XDA that the extended battery is inferior" to a friend that was about to buy one, and then that person goes out and tells a friend they were about to buy it, but were talked out of it. Pretty soon Seidio's reputation is ruined and it's based on nothing, nobody even compared their product, they just assumed. And no, I don't work for them, I'm ex-military and I've used their products and they've been great. I'd rather people not be misinformed, to include those spreading the incorrect information.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] macdanif:
Been reading lots of posts about people having different results with the new release or the ota radio.

I've had mixed results as well until I started formatting /system every time. Now I always wipe data/cache/delvik and /system.

Also on this latest release I had to reflash because after restoring some of my data I lost the 4g handoff after a reboot.

I suggest not restoring any system data that is not necessary.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
+1000000000
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimnutt:
Ah, but Seidio has lied about the capacity of their other batteries. So why assume that they are stating the capacity of the Thunderbolt battery correctly? In the chart that was linked to earlier, only a single extended capacity battery lived up to it's advertised rating, and that was an OEM 2150 from HTC. The Seidio and Mugen batteries actual ratings were well below the advertised, with all the batteries advertised at 1700 mAh and lower actually performing considerably worse than the stock battery. Beside, the EVO battery is almost exactly the same as the TBolt battery, if it's not labelled correctly, what makes you think the TBolt battery is?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wtfmate913:
Good tip...I think I had the same prob...restored just the data to all my apps and then next reboot the phone wouldn't pick up any data until I toggled a bunch...I just reflashed and manually put in my logins and what not for each app again...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
I tried both the pre 14 and the latest 3.1 beta, no dice.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
Im using the 2.0.8 one I believe... works. Sometimes I need to turn it off, then back on for things to connect but im getting on fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
I still think it's [SMS/MMS/APN]Dialer Storage in TiBu as I said back when 1.2 was released since unless it's labeled wrong restoring that would restore your APN data which is what needs to be cleared for the 4G handoff. So if nothing else, make sure you don't restore that one after wiping.

It's actually "liable" in this case if the statements were proven wrong. :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
Guy named Chris Hansen and a sig with "Thrown by Zeus Himself"... Honestly Im done arguing lol...

Facts just beat him about the head and neck area, and he refuses to accept that a company couldnt possibly be selling crap batteries labeled incorrectly for cheaper than the OEM battery.

Snake oil is delicious.

Anyway, back to topic... Im done. There is no convincing this dude hes wrong even with facts.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
Can't search cause I'm on the mobile app, anyone got a fix for incoming calls not ringing? Its a random issue, but I've definitely watched an incoming call come in and it didn't ring on more than one occasion.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sonicyooth:
My home and search buttons are not working at all. Some others reported this same issue and said that rebooting fixed the problem and another that booting into recovery and fixing permissions fixed the problem. Neither of these have worked for me. I did a complete wipe before flashing the ROM. Is there anything else to try? :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Can I get some more responses on the embedded Portable Wifi Hotspot in CM settings? For those of you who have it working (and those who don't), what radio are y'all using?

Still can't get to the bottom of this issue on my phone. I just find it strange that the Wireless Tether app works fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Seriously?

Again this post falls under the "technically nothing wrong here" catagory, but come on, can we PLEASE keep it civil and FRIENDLY

Works for me. Stock MR1 radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ddarvish:
anyone here experiening a less stable 4G connection? i have mr 2.5 radio. also this thing still eats up about the same amount of battery as bamf did which makes me think the radio by far is still the biggest battery killer
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill3508:
Okay sometimes the launcher at the bottom of the screen just disappears. Any way to get that back other than rebooting?

Thunderbolt CM7
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Try going to Cmod settings-> Input settings and messing around with the search key. There's something similar for long home but not single tap home. Anyway, mess with those to see if you can get either working. Wiping should have prevented this assuming you didn't restore a lot of system data afterwards.

Seems to be working fine on OTA mr2 for me. Used it yesterday for a brief period.

You might want to search the general and Q/A forums as I've seen posts about this there too and that may be a better place for discussion since you can have an entire thread devoted to that issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fronc:
FWIW, I've found my 4G connection to not be stable, but it comes and goes. Out of curiosity, I ran my phone for a day without 4G (3G - CDMA Only) and my battery life improved DRAMATICALLY. 4G always was a battery hog, but something funky is definitely up. I live in the NYC area, and always have great 4G coverage. Even so, it flakes out for no apparent reason while running CM7 RC1.2. Still... it's better than any Sense ROM IMHO.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eallan:
I'm using MR2 (and MR2.5 and the ota MR2 recently) and it works just fine. I have no issues with built in tethering.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Go into ADW Settings and disable Hidden Dock/Dockbar. It's actually been a feature of ADW for a while to allow for more application shortcuts. Swiping it down from the middle of where the top of the bar would be will close it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tflogic:
Have you tried flashing another radio? For me MR2 constantly dropped 4G while on MR2.5 it's as steady as a rock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Hmm am I the only one encountering issues with built in tethering? This is the only issue I seem to have and it's traveled as far back as RC0.6. I really hope this isn't isolated to my device.

By the way, how does the Multiquote feature of this forum work? I click on the multiquotes and then try to post a reply, but none of the quotes carry over.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
Disable it hidden dock bar in adw settings. Or set it up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I had this issue and ended up just doing a complete wipe and starting over. All went well after that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Wargzam:
Has anyone flashed the new MR2 radio? Does it work? Any improvements?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I'm on the OTA MR2 radio and it seems fine. No issues to report as of yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
I had it working on both the 2.5 radio as well as the OTA 2.0 that I just flashed this morning. No issues.

I had not tried any wireless tether until this ROM and I've only had one other ROM on this phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
So does the built in wireless tether option in cm7 work just like the wireless tether app to were Verizon wont know your tethering?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Holy tether questions?!?!?!

Anyways am I the only one with no camera shutter sounds? Haven't seen that yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
What version of wifitether are you using?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Silentdawn3:
This rom is great, but when I click send on a call, it dials and the line on the other end rings twice, but my screen never comes on, and the phone restarts.

Tried a few kernels, no luck. I'm running the old mr2 from before VZW dropped the official
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cg006:
The built in wireless tether is working pretty good for me. from time to time it flakes out, but its not such a big deal.

Im using mR2 official with the Stock CM7 kernel.... latest CM7 RC
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SikYou:
Try a different ringtone, for some reason many of them don't ring properly.

Sent from my ThunderBolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
which MR2? the new MR2 TA? or the original MR2?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
If you are on the MR2 OTA I'm sure it holds 4G just fine. I'd bet the leaked version has more issues than the OTA.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Whether the stock one works depends somewhat on the device you want to tether also. Between the built-in and wifitether one supports infrastructure and one supports ad-hoc (wifi tether may support both now, not sure). I let a friend's iphone tether a few days ago using the built-in hotspot just so they could be jeolous of LTE. It sounds like it never worked for you regardless of radio though which is weird.

Hit "multiquote" for each post then at the bottom left of the page hit "post reply".

He's talking about the one included in CM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cg006:
I love how i can add a tethering icon on my status bar :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
Try swiping up on an empty space of the screen. That's actually a feature of the adw launcher ie the hiding of the bottom launch bar. You can turn it off in the settings of adw launcher.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JaymzTA:
Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. I am having terrible signal with cm7 and the new mr2 radio. I was running das bamf 3.0 rc4 and had full signal all the time. Is this an issue with cm7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] minazaki:
In short, this is purely cosmetic. Your signal is the same. The reporting on AOSP ROMs is different than that of Sense based ROMs. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163043
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
I give up on tethering I just used the latest wireless tether 3.1 beta 2 which actually has the thunderbolt listed as a device. But it still wont hand out IP Addresses.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JaymzTA:
Maybe I should have checked the dbm signal before I flashed, but hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Thanks :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mjforte:
I've found that Wireless Tether never works for me the first time I start it. I turn it off and start it again and it works fine. Maybe try doing the same?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
I have 3.1 beta 1 and set the device profile to samsung epic 4g and had no problems connecting to my ipad.

Changing it to epic 4G did the trick. Thanks !

(removed... Nevermind )
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bobby janow:
Same here. That's exactly what I do and then it works.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jmin9012:
Best rom I have flashed yet. I miss my sense 3.0 lockscreen with weather, but I don't mind giving that up for the amazing battery life I'm getting. GPS was slow to lock, but GPS toolbox fixed it. Flash was not working either but the thread with bug fixes for CM7 got it working.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fronc:
Going to try mr2 ota tonight.

Ps- I'm on mr2.5, but didn't have the issue on bamf.

Anyone know how to get videos to work on MLB at bat? I've got a MLB.TV account but videos never seem to work on cm7 for me. The video option doesn't show at all for games.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
Change the build.prop file in /system folder. The line that says "ro.product.model=ThunderBolt". Change ThunderBolt to ADR6400L and save + restart. Use location spoofer (from market) to avoid blackout restrictions.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hyatari:
Awesome. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rygel411:
Is anyone else having trouble with Bluetooth? Everytime I select the Bluetooth option in file manager I get a forceclose. I've already tried running fix permissions in rom manager
[Thunderbolt Android Development] minazaki:
OK, I know the battery issue has been beaten to death, but I noticed something interesting today. Check this out:

Note how when my phone signal was medium-poor during the workday (yellow), the slope of the battery drain was fairly shallow. Then, when I got home, where I have markedly better signal (green), the slope of the battery drain was significantly steeper. Most of the other variables, I believe, were unchanged. WiFi was on the entire day, and both WiFi networks are very strong (full bars). 4G was on all day. Screen-on and awake time are roughly equal, and, if anything, a bit more frequent during the earlier part of the day. So to me, it seems like the improved cell signal correlates with faster battery drain.

This seems completely counter-intuitive to me. Anyone care to comment?

[By the way, just have to say I'm more than satisfied with the battery life on this ROM. Easily get through the day without problems. Just trying to figure this out.]
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jebrank:
got it! text editor
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dvation191:
What app is that? I'd like to see if signal has the same affect on my radio. Which one are you using, anyway?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ls1norcal:
So I just got done rooting. I am on MR1 radio, correct? So I must flash using the MR1 version and then I can flash the better (I'm assuming) MR2 radio or can I just flash the MR2 version of CM7 right now?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mbreezy:
You can just save yourself some time and flash the MR2 (or MR2.5) radios and go with the MR2 CM7.

I'm not sure if 2.5 is better than 2 or 1, but I went with it after reading around and found that there were no major problems with it at least. Heh, just let me make a call, text and surf some interwebs. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
You can flash the MR2 version of CM7 then once it boots up and you have no signal boot into bootloader and flash the MR2 radio file.

Make sure you place the PG05IMG.zip radio file of the MR2 on the root of your SD card prior to flashing the ROM just to make it easier.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nucher:
If you have the MR1 radio (version 1.16.00.0402w1) then use the MR1 CM7. Otherwise you'll have to flash an MR2 radio then install the MR2 CM7. I would assume you have an MR1 radio, but an update came out on Friday. If you update the radio to MR2 be careful and check the MD5, if the file is not all there you could brick your phone. I flashed the official OTA MR2 Radio 1.39.00.0627r from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160346

and then installed CM7 for MR2. The only difference I've found between having an MR1 radio with CM7MR1 and a MR2 radio with CM7MR2 is the GPS gets a lock faster and the 4G seems to transition faster between 3G and 4G. If you haven't tried CM7 before I must warn you, It's very addictive......
[Thunderbolt Android Development] michaelkahl:
Better and better. 16 hours off the charger and I'm at 29% right now.

I even broke out tether a couple of times. Great work. I'm loving AOSP.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
Gave it another try today. Replaced ADW with Go Launcher, which I prefer much more. The inability to get a GPS lock and working wifi tether is killing me..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
Using mr2 version. Adw ex has crashed multiple times today which it never does. Major lag issues prolly related to adw as I can't switch between homescreens smoothly. Suggestions? Wipe and reinstall or what?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ray5780:
are you using imo's kernal and swap?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
You don't happen to have "Lock Home in Memory" in CM performance settings do you? I was getting crashes on ADW EX with that on the TB so I unchecked it and it's been fine since. That causing crashing didn't really make sense to me but I never looked into the reason any deeper. The timing may have been pure coincidence but I thought I'd throw that out there anyway.

Stock kern for me btw.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
Nope, completely slipped my mind to slap IMO and swap. Will do and report back in a bit.

Update: seems ok now after flashing imos kernal and swap zip, will see how it holds up and no the lock homescreen app wasn't checked. Thx.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
Actually it worked one time and now it is back to not giving an IP.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] t-heineken:
I love this rom, but my Gmail app still requires a manual refresh. Flashed the new MR2 radio, reflashed with several different clear cache, etc orders and options...but Gmail won't push email!

(and no, it's not the stupid option to enable Gmail push in Settings).

Anyone else having this issue and/or have any fix ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nucher:
Do you have sync Gmail checked in Settings--> Account & Sync--> xxx@gmail.com--> Sync Gmail. I have sync contacts and sync Gmail checked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EggoEspada:
Uninstall then reinstall Gmail. After that, go into Account & Sync, pick your account and make sure Gmail is checked to sync.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] t-heineken:
Yeah...that's the setting I was referring to. Sync is definitely enabled....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
This is not a General or Q/A forum but yes, do as the previous poster said and uninstall then reinstall. It fixes problems when Gmail sometimes gets out of sync with the mail servers.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bbahai:
Adw ex has been perfect for me. Everytime I have lag its because auto brightness was on so I just use the dim/bright setting for the notification widget. Hope thats all it is.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Wtf? It's a rom problem and it's being troubleshooted. He can ask it in this thread.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
An isolated problem with an app is not a "rom problem". But ok...we can add 700 more pages. No biggie.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] t-heineken:
Isolated to CM7 across the various radios, GAPPs, and configs I've tried.

Not having issues on any other rom. Just thought I'd ask.

Uninstall/reinstalls don't help either. Not a deal breaker by any means....just annoying.

Thanks for the advice

Sorry for adding to your 700 pages ...*rolls eyes*
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cam30era:
Go into Settings > manage apps > all apps > open Gmail. Clear cache, the clear data. Ignore the warnings. Back to home page. Open Gmail, you should be good to go.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dvation191:
Really? I'm using the latest build and all I have is a graph of battery use and a list of applications by percent. I don't see that nice chart of awake time and radio signal. That's built in to CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
No, it has to be an app (?) - my battery use is much different than that nice graph/chart.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SikYou:
Wow. This type of post explains why ALL of the good devs are leaving this site. Thanks for keeping it real guys, I'm sure we have a real good chance of seeing an update after all of the jackass behavior that is the last couple of hundred pages of this thread. Super awesome :-)

Battery naysayers: I refuse to believe these battery problems are inherent flaws in cm7.

If you are not getting good battery, let's work together constuctively to solve the issue.

I recommend installing "current widget" free app from the market. Turn on "log running apps" and "log to file" options. Then you can submit your experience quantitatively (the log file).

Also make sure to note your Rom version, radio, battery size, and any nonstock kernel or governor.

Does anyone know another program or log of usage that gives verbose output?
