I read slayher left Verizon, so don't expect updates to be as frequent. Here's to hoping he'll continue updating at all, or that someone else from the CyanogenMod team will take over.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jiayi345:
I had to do the same thing. Forgot I had the radio img on there. Ended up using a friends phone to load my sdcard and delete the file.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
Slayher did vow to continue supporting the thunderbolt.

Yup only time will tell. I wish it could just be merged into the mainline so we could get CM improvements in the form of nightlies.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
He didn't get rid of the Thunderbolt. He just ditched VZW. As far as I can tell, he still plans on working on the Tbolt when he's free.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] moww:
So does anybody have a working 1.7 link?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KZIWarrior:
The link in the OP works fine. The M5D sum is wrong, the correct one is shown at the d/l site and it matches the sum Slayer put on the rootwiki. I just flashed from Das BAMF with no issues. Actually it was one of the fastest initial loads/boots from a clean install I've seen. GPS, wi-fi and 4G all work flawlessly.

He is also in the process of moving I believe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Eguess74:
I have installed latest RC and latest gapps but my radio doesn't connect to the network. Any ideas/links?

edit:

I have updated the radio from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048128

From the 2.11.605.0 RUU:

CDMA: 1.48.00.0817

md5: 71a8839b30882e238f6b68f9bd91b45b

LTE: has the same LTE radio as the 2.10.605.1 RUU

Still no luck...

edit2:

Now it is becoming even worse. I have reverted back to original ROM from backup and reflashed another radio from the thread above that is coming from the Froyo RUU instead of GB one. I can boot OK but still see no network. What gives?

I will try to reflash back to the original radio...

edit3:

i reflashed original rooted image that i have smartly saved before diving in. I'm back to square one with radio working. This CM7 attempt failed and I will wait for newer version...

Thanks!

Anyone have any luck getting My Verizon Mobile to work? When I try on WiFi, it gives me a b.s. error about my password being wrong, and when I try on 3G it just gives me a generic error. I'd really like to be able to use this app again...

I'm also stuck on the splash screen on 1.7 The md5 sum is correct if you look at the download page and not the forum post http://goo-inside.me/cm/mecha/rc/

Anyone know what I did wrong? Going from BAMF remix froyo, I did a backup, wiped, cleared cache, then dalvik and applied the update from the zip then rebooted. It just gets to the white htc screen and stops. I've waited 30 mins or so at least.

edit: this was my first time flashing cm7. tried 1.6.1 instead and it installed with no problems
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iviustang50h:
Re-download CM7, put it on your card, and also wipe the system before installing it (Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Hey Guys.. I Updated to the 3.5 Radio from McLabia's Site and I Wanted to Know If I Can Restore My nandroid and not have any issues with CM7? :confused:

Thanks in Advance!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Viper Daimao:
yeah I just tried installing 1.7 over 1.6.1 but got the same error so I'm gonna boot up in 1.6.1 and redownload 1.7

update: re-downloaded 1.7 and also upgraded clockworkmod to 5 and that seemed to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] strongergravity:
Make sure you have the latest version of clockwork installed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] shadowpunx:
My first time using cm7 on thunderbolt, had it on og droid though. Are all themes universal? Can you use metamorph?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ZuneNinja!:
Just have to say, almost a million views for this thread is pretty impressive.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jerrycycle:
Should work I crossed my preferred themes from my other phones to the thunderbolt. As always backup and give it a shot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jerrycycle:
I restore nandroid and they where made with the 2 latest leaked radios. 2.5 & 3.5

Just wanted to say I installed a sense rom for the first time in months last night...theory's sense sp?

Anyway, I've noticed better battery life, faster 4G speeds, a MUCH smoother and lagfree GUI, especially the browser, and a better phone phone. People can hear me clearer on the speakerphone...I don't have to wait 10 seconds to talk. Everything just seems...smooth wo/ the clunkiness of CM7.

It's worth nothing that 99% of the people I run into and this includes tech savvy folk never ever see what I see, so if you don't notice CM7 acting "funny" from time to time, just ignore me. :D

Cheers,

Jod
[Thunderbolt Android Development] darkrom:
Everything you say is subjective and an opinion. It is all very possible. I am not discounting ANYTHING you say other than the word "clunkiness" to describe CM7. There are pros and cons to AOSP and Sense, but one thing that is fact is AOSP is leaner. I know what you are saying but it is an important distinction. Just check the filesize of the roms or how many apps are running in the background. Sense or AOSP, there is no right or wrong, just whichever suits you best. It's the beautiful thing about android...we can pick what we want. Now the key is keeping us AOSP users and you sense goons (;)) on the same team and respecting each other. Glad to hear sense is working great for you. If you are liking sense you should try the BAMF roms. Those were my favorite sense roms out of all of them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jiayi345:
Upgrading clockwork resolved my issue. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tjubb:
Re-logging in to various apps continually

Ever since I installed this rom, it seems many apps forget their logins and require me to log back into them alot more than what seems normal. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn to name a few. Previously on stock rom I could go weeks without having to log back into those apps. Now it's ever day or so. Many times when I open the official Twitter app both my Twitter accounts are not longer registered to the app and I have to add them back.

I am getting weird keyboard behavior as well. I have 2 additional keyboards installed (SwiftKey and SmartKeyboard Pro). I have set SmartKeyboard Pro as my default however something happens at some point and when I go to use the keyboard it reverts me back to the stock android keyboard. I go into settings and both SwiftKy and SmartKeyboard are unchecked so I have to re-eneable them.

Any insight on these 2 recurring issues and how I can fix them?

Any word on getting the NFL app to work?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
The most peaceful someone can feel's when they don't care whether they're wrong or right. When they can laugh at being wrong. The ego gets a well deserved ass kicking. :p

That said, the disadvantages to sense are quite obvious after using it for a couple days. The quick settings are a joke that require extra presses and scrolling. The notification panel options on CM7 absolutely BLOW it away and I miss it all the time. My home screen now has lost an entire row simply because I need to have wifi/gps/airplane/brightness widgets in place.

The other item of note's that I'm comparing a couple month old installation and various upgrades of CM7 with 87 apps including things like widgetlocker, fancy widgets, and a home launcher replacement (Go) with a brand new installation of Sense and about 20 apps. Also, there's no widgetlocker, fancy widgets, and I'm using the Sense launcher (as painful as that is...why must I see the damn icon AND the apps name?!).

I'm going to use it for awhile if for no other reason than to teach myself to live with something different. To be less picky if you will. And at some point in the future I might try CM7 again...despite it's clunkiness! Haha! :eek::eek::eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dexterousgurl:
I also noticed this on my tbolt yesterday. I enabled BetterKeyboard and almost immediately I get the error "The application Android Keyboard (process com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

After I get that error message it's always followed by "Activity ADW.Launcher is not responding", so I do a FC, but I can use BetterKeyboard for a certain period of time before it actually reverts me back to stock. If that's the only flaw I have to deal with, I can live with it. I'm loving CM7 & I do enjoy the stock keyboard anyway. :) ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ambient711:
Thank You!

Thank you for this! And thanks for your hard work. Its awesome devs that make android what it is today.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solarpolitiks:
I definitely see the problems listed. Obviously no disrespect to the devs as this is by no means an easy job, just want to let the ones facing problems know they aren't alone.

The battery drain issue was a big one for me. Cell standby doesn't just APPEAR to be a battery hog on this ROM when looking at battery info. It IS a battery hog. The standby battery life is strange. Data speeds and such are to be expected with the RIL but they are still there. I never saw performance issues though. ADW, LPP, and Go all were fine for me and I never had much lag. Maybe in the browser but the Sense one isn't much better.

This is an amazing piece of work but it does have it's kinks.

Again, not bashing devs at all but wanted other people facing problems know they aren't alone and to warn any new users.

Anyways, keep up the great work
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jodiuh:
Well, that was fast...couldn't get tethering to work on ShiftS3ns3, so I'm back on CM7. I went with Launcher Pro this time instead of Go Launcher and it's MUCH smoother and more responsive. I'm sure it helps that it's a fresh install vs update after update and 6 different kernels, haha.

I haven't tested the phone part out yet, but I got some pretty ridiculous battery life yesterday. I think I had the screen on for 2 and a half hours immediately after flashing and only dropped down to 75% battery life. It's probably all widgetlocker's fault, hah!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hunterjackson92:
Idk if anybody else is having this problem but I did a fresh wipe and installed RC 1.7 from 1.6 and any music player I use does crazy stuff like it skips tracks fast forwards turn on and off etc and all this is only when the head phones are in without them its fine I've yet to try Bluetooth to see what it does. I also have mortplayer which is for audiobooks and it rarely if ever messes up but as far as audio player I've tried stock, double twist, poweramp, and Google music with no success. I Googled and breifly looked throigh xda for the problem and didn't see anything but feel free to tell me off if this is a stupid question
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tjubb:
No FC's for me but I think I have it narrowed down to when I reboot the device, I lose the twitter, facebook, LinkedIn accounts and the keyboard goes back to default.

Wish there was a trick to retaining my accounts and keyboard after a reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Are they installed to sdcard or are you using bootmanager or something other than a standard install?

I've seen keyboards and apps lose defaults and settings in both of those cases (well, not really lose, just doesn't load in time).

Anything on sdcard that is requested on boot (default keyboard, sync/login to social accounts, etc) reverts to default or doesn't show up at all on reboot due to the sdcard taking time to mount on boot. A good example is a 3rd party keyboard that is installed to sdcard. On boot when android sets your default keyboard, it can't set your 3rd party one because it doesn't exist/can't be found yet since the sdcard hasn't been mounted. Hence, it falls back to the default keyboard.

I'm in no way saying this is definitely your case b/c it may very well not be...but this is a common problem and I didn't see you indicate otherwise.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a1exus:
how do I install Market ??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
By flashing the GApps package from recovery.

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/

One with GTalk linked in my sig.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a1exus:
ok, i got that to work, thanks!

now how do I make it 4G? because I only seeing 3G so far.. :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a1exus:
take it back, for whatever reason 4G didn't work but it start working on it's own :)

so i'm all good but one thing isn't working, how/where should i submit this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tjubb:
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! That was exactly the problem. All the apps seemingly losing account data and the like were stored on the sdcard. I moved them back to the phone memory, did a reboot and so far the settings have stuck. No longer required to relog back in, add the account again or re-enable the keyboards.

Thanks a bunch for this! I think I had an app awhile back that moved all my apps to the sdcard.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] a1exus:
just installed CM7 RC1.7(8/31) it works perfect!!! well maybe not perfect but pretty close for sure )

I only found 2 problems so far

1) bluetooth, when i pair it to a car or bluetooth headset and i make outgoing call i can't hear anything, nor do they can hear me, yet when someone calls me i can hear them and they can hear me...

2) headphone, when i receive a phone call and i have headphones in, i can hear them but they can not hear me and when i call them back same thing...

where/how do i submit this bug to developers?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Well you can submit bugs here: https://github.com/slayher/CM7_Mecha_issue/issues but Slayher (The developer and sort of only person working on this) is not around much anymore. From what I know he is continuing work but one, no longer has Verizon (Issues between them and Verizon caused them to jump to another carrier), two is moving.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

https://github.com/slayher/CM7_Mecha_issue/issues, also 4G takes a little longer to acquire compared to sense. Remember the RIL is custom built without knowing anything from the actually version so cut Slayher some slack :p
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kennyc11:
Is anyone else getting horrible battery life while on wifi? Overnight while connected to wifi, I lose over 20%. I've tried several kernels and none seem any better. I have my wifi sleep policy to never.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dlnp22:
can someone tell me where to find the EXACT kernel that comes with this ROM?

GTalk with Video

I know this has been spoken about but I have tried all the different methods in this thread to no avail. I have flashed the whole gaaps.zip file (version 0504) i have tried adb and root explorer to manually push the files, none of these methods installs talk with video and voice capability. Anybody have any suggestions? I am using the latest cm7 build with 2.3.5
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Every GApps package at the link in my sig (except the base 0828-signed.zip) will install GTalk with video that works on TBolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wolfnumba1:
So just install the zip from recovery?

Edit: I installed the 2011828.newtalkengine.zip from rocovery and it did not install the correct one still no video or voice. Should I delete the original apk first from the apps folder in system?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Yes, same as any other GApps zip.

During flashing, old files should be removed unless you've done something weird in your whole pushing trial.

Just install one of the full packages instead of just the talk package. 0729 definitely works but 0828 should be fine as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wolfnumba1:
I deleted talk.apk from system/apps and also the lib file from system/lib I will see if that works if not I will update.

Edit: It seems to be working, isnt there supposed to be a microphone icon as well? Or is the voice part of the video feature?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dlnp22:
Thanks, which file? pardone my complete ignorance,but I don't know what Sholes is? Do I want the Mecha 1.7 dated 8/31?

Now THAT brings back some memories! I remember being so excited for this "OMAP" device with a "keyboard" on "Verizon" with "Android" in 09.

The "mecha" is actually the first smartphone I've been happy with! :p Mostly for the giant and WIDE screen as I use it for lots of browsing/rssing.

Please don't take this as an attack as it is not meant to be but you have to see both sides of the debate.

Reading the same questions over and over does get old. Instead of "WASTING" other peoples 10 seconds, your words, perhaps you could spend a few minutes searching and reading. After all it has been netiquette for way more than 10 years.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dlnp22:
With ALL due respect, I'm not new to message forums. And I know where the search button is.

I don't care how many times someone asks "the same question", if THAT irritates you and turns you into a smartass(on a message forum, nonetheless), there are larger issues.

Regardless of the "issue"(missing a post, and failing to find any other info regarding the topic in question), I think it fairly asinine to respond to an innocent posting/question, with ANY such patronizing disrespect.

I'm using ProTekk's Build 8 and incoming text messages aren't showing up in the conversation boxes. The notifications are going off just fine and when I pull down the notification bar I can see the preview of the text just fine. But when I click on it and it takes me into the conversation, all that shows are my sent messages. Is anyone experiencing this and/or has anyone experienced this and know of a fix?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yareally:
I know you won't like the answer, but the simplest way to fix it is not use unstable software. The reason slayher probably has not released another build is because there are bugs to be worked out in whatever you are using currently. He only started to release the source sometime ago to shush the people who were whining about it not being out.

Hopefully you backed up your last stable build. I would go back to that if possible if it bothers you.

Anyone else getting "Google Maps Navigation is not yet available in your area" when trying to run it on CM7? I tried searching the forums but didn't find anything, so sorry if this has been answered.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] trombone dixie:
It doesn't bother me going back. That's what back-ups are for right? :)

Other people on the RootzWiki page (for Unofficial CM7) are saying Build 8 is working perfectly for them. It seems weird that we have the exact same device and yet I'm experiencing this weird bug.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yareally:
