Has there been talk of preview 5?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrjinglesusa:
[paraphrase]Yes, but don't expect it anytime soon. Adrynalyne's TB bricked and they also said they are moving to a new "base" and have some things to work out.[/paraphrase]

Anyone else getting crazy home screen/ app drawer redraws after pressing the home key?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Preview 5 is a way off. We dropped the kingdom base and moved to a more recent system.

Trust me. It's going to be worth it. So much smoother.

Sweet! I can't hardly wait! Just bought an extended battery since I'm going on vacation. I plan to play some Online Poker and 3D Video games. Chainfire 3D is awesome for playing Tegra games and this ROM is excellent no doubt!

Do they devs have a donate link yet? I feel like donating....

Thanks devs! :-)

Thinking around a month out or more?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drex552:
So far got it fully charged (was trickle charging after about 90%), but 50% on up to 90% was about an hour or so. Still at 100% after about an hour off the charger. Battery widget estimating about 25 hrs off charger! Dang, its like night and day. I'm definitely liking this!

It's not too bulky considering I saw that Mugen 4500 mah battery online. Now that is a monster battery!

I actually feel like I have a better grip on the phone when texting in portrait mode too!

Now I get more BAMF goodness without having to be plugged in all the time. :-)

Thought I'd show what's possible with preview3 and dreamkernel
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dansan382:
i see you are in airplane mode and also using wifi. that would definitely save battery life..

only problem im having with 2.0-5 is the force closing camcorder. ive tried the sense 3 camera and sense 2.1 and still force closing when i stop recording. it saves the video but closing. anyone get a solid fix without download a 3rd party camera app?

btw im at 75% battery and 10h 30minutes on extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] orion421:
This is on the stock battery, I haven't been on airplane all day in fact I used tether for about an hour. This is the first time in two months I've gotten over 10 hours on a charge. It's also the most I've used the phone. Weird!

LOL. I know everyone has personal lifes, summer holidays, vacations, etc. People can seem pushy in the forum whether they mean it or not when asking about the next of the next update. So I figured a month was a good guestimate. A week isn't to bad at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Koroz:
Thank you for the link.

Also wanted to thank the BAMF team. I have had a very hard time finding something that I liked a lot, but had a GB Base since I use Netflix so much. For some reason, CM7 (my phones fault, not blaming roms) won't use 4g at all even using the same exact install I did on my employee's was flawless.

I installed the BAMF 1.6.x remix and fell in love, so I gave this a go. I had USB problems. I checked MD5, was right on. But something wasn't right so I re-downloaded everything. baseband, rom and then picked up sense preview 3. Flawless this time.

I have only one issue to report so far since after about 3-4 days of heavy use /knocks on wood. Sometimes "icons" on the status bar get stuck and won't go away. For example: Sometimes the New Voice mail icon shows up and a hot reboot will fix, where as Ill have a head set connected and take it off and the icon will stay. If this icon gets stuck then I have to fully reboot.

Other then that, awesome. Thank you very much. Also, those who are curious I have been running launcherpro plus with custom launcher row and icons with no lock ups. I was getting random lock ups with stock. I did have a lot of slowdown at first. Things were clunky. Fixed Permissions, removed a few old apps I never used anymore all things are fine so far..

going to check out the dream kernel now. Thanks again. Sorry long winded.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bcblount:
Thanks again for all the hard work and the little update. I gotta say, i love this thread. I went over to chingy's thread and they are tearing him apart over gingeritis. And people and verbally murdering each other. I dont know how it gets that bad. Maybe its a different audience, I don't know. But I enjoy the class the devs and followers/supporters have shown in this thread. Continue the great work.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] bcblount:
Thanks a ton for that! Works flawlessly like you said. Having a 20 month old boy, I use the camera a lot. So its nice to have a working video camera on this disgusting Rom!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dansan382:
haha if thats the case then he has nothing to worry about.. we dont check those phones. they get sent out and a new one is in his hands before they even get the old one at the service center
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drex552:
It's still pretty early to say if I've got the right settings since the battery has been on my home wifi most of this evening (I do get LTE reception in my basement of my house, where the phone has been, but it seems to really suck up the battery from the signal being weak versus at work in downtown where LTE is strong and really fast > 20 Mbps download.)

I'm running about 135 apps. I generally have GPS off and leave Sync on. SetCPU is setting OnDemand CPU profile at 1.222 Ghz max/245 Mhz min.

The secret with sync is I disable contact data sync and anything non-essential on all accounts or apps.(Gmail, FB, Twitter etc.) On my old battery this helped significantly...less data to process I presume helps battery life.

I've disabled Facebook and Twitter apps from syncing entirely and use HTC Sense to do social apps (30 min for Twitter and 4 hrs for Facebook). Gmail I only sync calendar and email. Weather sync set to 3 hrs (I think my weather lockscreen updates when sync is on.)

Make sure "Always on" mobile data under Settings - Mobile Networks is off. If on, it really eats up your battery. By default its on when you load up BAMF (including any ROM for that matter has it on.) I leave roaming unchecked as if my phone drops to non 3G/4G networks, like my old dumb cell phone, would cause the battery drain to be huge!

Majority of battery drain has been display so I set timeout to 15 sec. If it drives me nuts, I have that timeout widget to click on to increase. Also, it shows Tapatalk is now consuming a good 7% of my battery. Lol.

I've exhausted about 250 mah on battery thus far for about 3hrs including my typing this on my phone. :D) I played a few home vids and played two Tegra games for about 20 min. Shows about 91% remaining battery.

I do look at what is eating the battery within GB and I have found some bad apps that I've killed or frozen. (I did freeze that Backup Assistant software too using TiBu)

Sorry for the long post, but hope it helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dansan382:
which camera version is it? sense 2.1 or 3?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bcblount:
Now that I think about it I'm guessing 2.1. It doesn't look like the UI of 3.0, but cub would know.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bcblount:
Can anyone tell me if this is normal. I added the calendar widget to my homescreen. It's showing the time until appt a little weird. I never used it before preview 4 so I didn't know if this was normal or not. Screen below.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drex552:
I think many that have the Thunderbolt may have had the OG Droid and/or most ppl that got this phone knew to expect glitches/issues since we were LTE early adopters.

I have an idea how much time and experimentation these devs are spending on this ROM and most likely have day jobs or other busy lives. Their hard work definitely shows, and this by far is better than any ROM I've flashed including the Cyanogen days on my Droid. It isn't perfect yet, but it's very close, and I bet we'll never see GB Sense 3.0 look this good when or if the carrier releases it! (e.g. Froyo for Droid had elements pulled. :D)

I'm having the same issue, apps are showing up, they're being granted permissions, but they all act like I don't have root.

Busybox is from BAMF, and I thought the market version of SU didn't work? Can't install anyway with it already there.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] kenmills78:
same for me on wifi. I have tried most GB ROMs and everytime I use the latest imo kernerl past test wifi is broken. So it is a choice between working camera or wifi...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Yeah sorry man. I ran into an issue with TiBu when I flashed over 202 so I was hoping it was a similar issue. Good luck.

-Ken I'm connected to my N router with WPA2 security but it's only connected at G speed (54.) It's probably a kernel issue so we should probably post something in Imo's kernel thread.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heffe2001:
Same as all the GB roms we've had so far...

On the Netflix thread, it was said that it's a stagefreight problem, and a patch was made for the CM7 that made it work (on CM7, not these roms).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Yeah good catch. I was brainstorming off the top of my head and realized after I posted that the market SU won't install over the existing apk (at least it never has for me.) I'd probably reflash and wipe the slate clean and see if you can do a restore of your user apps with tibu (if you use tibu to restore apps.) Good luck.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbisch:
I don't need to wipe data/cache if I'm coming from 2.0-2, right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Right...although I wiped cache and davlik just in case. I didn't wipe data and it came up fine.

Yes. Make sure you delete or move the radio file first.

Can i install the radio first then install the rom? I feel like im gonna break something if i do a batt pull

better to install the rom through recovery, then reboot into bootloader and flash the radio. otherwise, you will have to load up the old rom to delete the radio and then reboot and flash the new rom. I learned this the hard way lol

Happy to help. So many have done the same for me here. Enjoy the ROM!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stanlalee:
How do you install it, just use it to replace the camera is system apps using root explorer? Do you rename it without the (3)? Do you need to change the permissions to the same as the original camera?

edit: nevermind I figured it out (the answers to my questions were yes, yes and yes for anybody wondering).

It's rough out there, especially when coming from other devices because you have to "rebuild" credibility. They are both good work, and it is just a different audience. Oh well...

the sense 2.1 has the 4 buttons on bottom with the capture button in the middle of those 4 buttons
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azturbomini:
It's not right. I didn't notice how wrong it was until I switched over to bamf GB remix tonight and it showed up correctly. Not 100% sure if its Rom specific or?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stanlalee:
it has four verticle buttons on the left (camera mode, flash mode, front/back camera, camera/video) and the camera button is on the right by itself. Other than that I cant be of much help. Doesn't look like any other cam I've used.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadget!:
That's if you are in landscape mode :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] distortedloop:
Nope. It's been like that before, but never so bad. I'll be testing today.

My Charge wasn't flipping like that in the same location at the same time, it was 4G, but at some point in the day it went to 3G for a while, so maybe the network had issues (seems to be par for the course with 4G in Los Angeles).

The thing that frustrates with the TB is that when it couldn't hold 4G, it drops data all together; the Charge drops to 3G but maintains data. The TB still has some big issues changing bands (on my phone anyways).

this is a bit of a noobish question and may not belong in this thread, but since we have been getting previews released alot. does it ruin your phone to keep flashing different roms over and over again? thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having that problem before. I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. :) I would liken it to the use of a high quality memory card, in a camera, repeatedly. You'll get plenty of life from it.

Well, looks like with my P4 setup, I'm getting 56% at 11 hours of my usage. (Most of that is on WiFi, yesterday - no, no airplane mode lol). I can live with that.

PREV. 4- probs receiving incoming texts

Please understand, this is not a complaint, I love the BAMF teams and the access they provide to the previews... Who else does that.? Living on the bleeding edge!! I know there may be issues running a preview build and have no worries about getting them. I'm just looking for some help with this.

Anyone having problems with P4 and receiving texts. I've been running all the previews and never had a problem receiving texts, but this just started with P4. I thought it might be ChompSMS so I uninstalled and re-installed it. Same prob. Removed chomp completely, and seems to have run ok now for 18hours (Fixed?, time will tell).

When I still had chomp installed, a reboot would allow incoming texts to come in for a while and then just stopped getting them. Frustrating.

Any ideas as what may be the culprit or fix? Do you think its a Prev4 problem or chomp issue. I've never had this problem with chomp with previous preview builds.

AGAIN, PREVIEW IS THE BOMB!!!!

Without knowing what ROM you are running this post is confusing to most.

If you are running one of the test ROMs, currently there are no themes that have been written using this framework that I am aware of.

zhp pilot has stated that when the final release is out, he will start working on themes for it.

Until then, installing a theme on the test builds is more than likely going to break something!
