I have been running this ROM and 2.5 radio since it dropped on the site.

Few issues is that my VPN connection drops very quickly. on the 2.0 I could leave the VPN connected all day or over night.

Clock in night mode FC's

Still very good work on great rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 66dude:
I lost the lockscreen somehow. A battery pull is the only way to regain control of the device... at least until the screens shuts off again, then the lack of the lockscreen requires another battery pull. Any idea how to fix this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i like this rom but im not crazy about the green theme to it. is there any way to port the bamf 1.7/1.8 theme over? i love black/grey type themes. still a bit worried about the ginger radio, i just don't want a brick.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Themes based on the gb alpha base should work on this just fine, unless TDB heavily moddified the framework. Just be sure to make a nandroid first. The MR2 radio seems very solid, I haven't heard of anyone bricking with it, the alpha radio which was believed to be the culprit has since been retired.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
Anyone else having issues with Google Talk?

For a while it would work fine. Now it just closes immediately...no force close, just click on the icon and I'm back to the app drawer immediately.

I have 2.1 on my phone and my wife is running 2.05 with GingerCutie and neither of our talk works.

I've tried clearing Talk's cache and force closing it from the app settings page...still notta.

Thanks!

PS - We're both running MR2....I'm OCed to 1.4, she's stock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] b33zy682:
Gtalk works fine here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
Yeah, I dunno what the freak to do. Maybe I'll toolkit and clear the caches, see if that helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
That did it. I'ma maroon! ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] btango05:
Having same issue...I've tried TiBU, fixed permissions via ROM Manager, cleared cache via Manage Apps and still does the same thing.

I've searched this thread as well...can't find definitive fix.

EDIT: NVM it just started working as soon as I posted this....go figure! Classic, when your sick and go to the Doctor...you miraculously feel better!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
whats the best radio to run on this? mr2 or mr2.5? i know the gingerbread signal reads data instead of radio but im getting a really low signal strength and frequent drops to 1x. on froyo i had no issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] johnpwu:
Bluetooth Audio Dropping with Screen Off

I use my TB to stream music to a couple of different A2DP bluetooth receivers, and ever since flashing to 2.1, I've had issues with the audio skipping/dropping (for approximately one second), as many as a dozen times per song-- but only when the screen is turned off (it rarely skips with the screen on). Any ideas? Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
sadly i had to move back to your froyo rom for now. i couldn't keep 3g with the mr2 radio. ill wait until the official radio update comes to try again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] b33zy682:
mr2 or mr2.5? i had that issue with 2.5 and more issues. so im on mr2 and im stable again
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
mr2... kept reverting to 1x and my signal was horrid. currently on mr1 radio and it's alot better.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
I have been researching this and can not seem to find the answer. Maybe the forum can help. In bamf 2.1 when I use the stock messenger app....I have photos but not names. It starts with the contact name....then reverts to the number. No matter what I do I can't seem to get contact names to show in place of the phone number. So the end result is a contact picture and a phone number. I would like to see a contact photo and the contact name.

Anyone know any fixes for this?

Thanks!

EDIT....I have discovered that this is fixed by a reboot...but continually occurs again. I have reinstalled and cleared all defaults. Between this and the comic book bubbles....I am really beginning to hate the messenger app in this rom. The rom is awesome! But the messenger.apk still remains glitchy as hell.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Duplicate.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] philhyde:
I'm running 2.1 on my phone with the MR2.5 radio. Occasionally I will drop down to 3G and I will have to go into LTE settings and toggle the mode to 'LTE Mode' and back to 'CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto'. Sometimes it takes a few tries. HTH...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] philhyde:
I noticed yesterday that VM notification isn't working properly. I swapped batteries and noticed that the VM indicator showed up after rebooting. Once I listened to the VM, the indicator stayed until another reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
Yes this is a known issue. Its not too big a deal to live with till it can be fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kuwlness:
I just started getting this message today when i went into Market to update a few of my apps. I tried clearing Data for Market, but still no-go even after a few restarts. Shows I have over 4GB left on my SD Card.

Error states: "Insufficient Storage Available"

Any ideas folks? :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
I can't wait for the official GB release on the 30th. Then (maybe) we can get a glitch free version of the best rom ever.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
we don't know a firm date yet... i have to ask this even though im up and running this rom again with mr2.5.... is there still a risk of phone bricking with ginger roms? ive honestly never heard of a rom bricking a phone before.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Actually, a friend of mine works for verizon at the corporate level. He said they have received reports (read guidelines)....of what to tell the customers regarding the update. He advised me.....that the update should be here on the 30th....or the 5th at the latest. He is usually right....so I will take his word on it.

Also no risk of bricking on 2.5. I have been running it since about 4 hrs after it came out. It was the radio.....not the rom causing bricks. Or at least that was the general consensus. The radio with the issues is the original radio for G/B. Stick with radio 2 or 2.5 and you'll be gold.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
Remember, each of these phones seems to handle all of the software completely differently. There is always a risk when you run something that isn't "official" yet. Not trying to nitpick, just trying to expand on what you said.

Also, is there a list of what can and can't be removed from the phone? On froyo I ran the Bamfstripped version and most of the extras were gone. I just went back to this rom after a few days on RC2. No matter how many times I try it, I just don't really like the Sense ui. I don't use widgets normally so I had to force myself to use them so I could make use of the carousel effect. Novelty wore off, and here I am again with LPP and my minimal screen set up. I normally remove the stocks app/lockscreen/widget, the items in the toolkit that can be removed, and some more widets that I have no need for. I haven't done it on this rom yet and before I did I wanted to double check. Don't want to be taking out a seemingly unneeded app that ties the room together ya know?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
You can search any process or app through Google. It will tell you if it can be removed safely. If its an app.....many can be removed through the toolkit or titanium. Just nandroid and titanium back up first.

Edit.....don't change from sense lockscreen. If you do you won't be able to answer calls. Try it and you'll see what I mean. Its a known bug.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
No way I'm getting rid of the new sense lock screen. Short cuts ftw.

Swype and hand cent isn't working for me on 2.1. Is it working for others?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pistolpete_21:
No problems with either. Running newest swype 3.0 FWIW
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
Is 2.1 the latest ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] philhyde:
That appears to be correct, based on the 1st post.

Handcent working fine for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dkyle:
Anybody have any ideas as to why the market would be force closing? I have this rom on my phone and havent had any problems, on my buddies though everytime he opens the market it force closes.

Ive tried restoring it back to the way it was before he deleted some stock apps, Ive cleared all caches, and cleared the market data, but it still force closes right after its opened.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zyxwvu44:

Any one know how to get the trace keyboard from rc3 on this ROM

Help needed

Is there a way to stop GB from killing dolphin while I watch videos? Or to just remove it from auto kill altogether? I got Hulu working and now I'd like to use it for more than 5 min at a time lol. I am very aware it's not the rom.....rather a general issue with how GB kills processes to free up memory. Any help/tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Is there a way to change the apps on the sense lock screen?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Personlize>Lockscreen>Settings

Just click the one you want to change then pick what you want it changed to
[Thunderbolt Android Development] locozildjiangodx:
when i click personalize it just goes back to the desktop, no pop up windows or anything. any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Wierd, you are using the launcher that came with the ROM right, not Launcher pro or anything esle?

sounds like the launcher may be hosed.....If you have Root Explorer go into system/apps and try reinstalling the Rosie.apk (just click it and select install)

Not sure otherwise...sorry
[Thunderbolt Android Development] locozildjiangodx:
using launcher pro. I guess I should re-enable the sense launcher, change the stuff, then change back, yeah?

Home Switcher for Froyo still works and makes this easy.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PaintDrinkingPete:
Just installed this last night, after my phone completely crashed running REMIX 1.7.

I had been running REMIX 1.7 for quite a while and LOVED it, especially the battery life I was getting, but I had a FC in Gmail which led to a reboot which led to a frozen boot screen (on multiple reboots)...so I decided it was finally time to jump into GB.

Enjoying the ROM so far. Had an issue where I couldn't update or install a few of my previously downloaded apps, but that seems to have resolved itself.

Just installed the latest leanKernel, and while I don't expect to see battery life equal to what I was getting with 1.7, I'll try to play around with it a bit and see if I can work with this.

I choose to go with the MR2 radio for now. WIFI seems a little more "wonky" than with the Froyo radios, but from what I've read, that may be normal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Yes, you should be able to do that
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arasky:
Thankfully no problems so far. Only thing I've noticed is a drastic decrease in battery life. I'm dropping approximately 10% every hour. Any known problems that can be the cause behind this? I'm doing the same things I was when I was on 1.7, and that dropped about 4% every hour on average. Should i look for a lower voltage kernel? (I have the one that came with the rom)

Also, I was under the impression that If i have wifi on instead of 4g at home or work that it will consume less battery, is this true? Everything I read is about 3g and they are conflicting arguments.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PaintDrinkingPete:
I too left 1.7 knowing there was almost way any other ROM was gonna match the battery life I was getting with that one!

I do recommend flashing the latest version of leankernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086518

As far as battery drain goes, wifi, if working correctly and the signal is strong should consume the least amount of battery...at least it has in my experience. In general in terms of battery drain:

wifi < 3G << 4G
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sg1dan:
i have an issue with my tethering using both the inbuilt and the wirelss tether app, whenever the screen is off, cellphone stops tethering. is there an option in the rom to change it? i looked at the wifi sleep policy but it is set to never sleep.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sg1dan:
i found out that wifi eats up the most battery in standby mode. 4g is bettery for my battery. could be something wrong with gingerbread because i don't remember this issue with my bamf 1.7 (froyo)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PaintDrinkingPete:
Yup -- noticing this too. My wifi seems to almost shutdown when the screen turns off (which makes me wonder if it's consuming power trying to reconnect constantly) I notice some of my apps don't update as they should be either when in standby. I'm trying both radios and different CPU settings to see if that makes a difference. I'll report back if I find anything. On Froyo, wifi was definitely the battery saver.

Probably a similar, if not the same, issue.

GB SENSE DOWNLOADS:

1) lean test, 1) 184Mhz test, 3) Stock kernel, 4) USBfix, 5) 2.5.3test7 kernel, 6) dreamKernel

download the lean test? is dreamkernel compatible?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] project.in.process:
on a good day i'm getting 10%battery loss

battery wipe on Monday= i can go that day from 9am-11pm before i'm completely dead (roughly 7%loss /hour)

battery Life on Tuesday=9am-3pm=30% left (roughly 17% loss/hour)

love this ROM, but battery life is horrendous for me. seems everyone is getting very different results.

never tried 1.7, but for 4%loss/hour--it's hard not to want to try it. yow.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PaintDrinkingPete:
First one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] philhyde:
Battery life is such a tricky thing. Unless you are always in the same place, same settings, etc, it's going to be different. Based on what part of the city I am on any given day (or in an office building), my battery life varies wildly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sg1dan:
wow that is a **** battery life. i lose about 1% per hour when my phone is not in use, connected to 4g all the time, weather and email updates everyhour. with my old nexus one i used to get 3-3.5 HOURS per 1% with same settings.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PaintDrinkingPete:
Was getting that easily myself on 1.7 Remix. On a full charge I'd go to bed and wake up 7 hours later and still have ~93% remaining. I was getting well over 24 hours on a charge running wifi or 3G. Made it really hard to finally switch over.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sg1dan:
i think i figured out my tethering problem when the screen is off. 245mhz processor speed is too low, it's set at 700mhz how and i tether with screen off. had to be the undervolting when the phone is idle/screen off. maybe i'll try a different kernel to see if something can be done. right now i'm on the imo 3.3.4 test gb kernel.

never mind. tethering was off after 4 minutes this time. improvement i guess.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arasky:
exactly why I'm wondering if people have are having similar results with battery life. I use my phone as much as anyone else who's on XDA. Besides my commute, I have fast wifi at home and work (both strong 4g areas) and so if it saves me battery like it did in froyo I'll stay on it no problem.

I have two oem htc batteries that have been calibrated and battery stats wiped since moving to 2.1, and both have similar life. It also seems that the battery takes a lot longer to charge, but I never noticed the charging time before so it could be normal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sg1dan:
yeah the charging issue has been resolved now. problem was solved in the kernel. the one i'm using imo.. 3.3.4 gb test has the problem fixed. i think it was the 3.2 that fixed this specific issue. so you may want to update your kernel to the latest one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arasky:
Just updated, i read the changelog earlier and didnt see anything pertaining to it, but i couldnt understand half the jargon anyways :confused:

And oddly enough, my battery was at 13, i flashed the updated kernel and attached the charger, 10 minutes later my battery was at 56. On the battery use screen it shows a huge vertical incline on the chart at this point, weird.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SubliminalME:
New roms keep coming out...and I keep trying them...but I keep coming back. ;)

All the roms are very similar these days...but the toolkit and the launcher...those make this one the best.

Using it now and its running great. No charge issues and longer battery life. Or so it would seem so far.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do I set the speedtweek for battery save? I have no idea what the commands are.

You could use a different client like K9 mail. I have been using it for a year and I love it.

Just a thought if you didn't want to use their app.

I dont think it slows it down, just runs at stock speed, 1024M...which is fine IMO
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arasky:
Absolutely download imo's 3.3.8. fixed some issues I had, especially the slow charging.

I need a little help guys and searching the forum retrieved nothing on how to do this though I KNOW I've found it before. In the toolbox I mount system rw, but in terminal emulator I get read only...what is the command again...if it matters I'm using latest lean kernel. Thanks guys.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
I think its "sysrw" or "sysro"

This is for mounting a partition....sry. I have a link with the other command but I have to track it down...will update.

Hmmm....My link for the emulator commands is dead. Sorry I usually mount via root explorer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
Turned out to be not as bad as I expected. It didn't wipe my settings thankfully, just unchecked some. The ones it unchecked are the ones I use the most of course. Also, I live dangerously. No nandroid for me. Life's a crap shoot. Roll the dice.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Can you mount via a program like root explorer? I'm just wondering if your phone will mount at all. Or if......somehow??.....you have bad permissions.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] philhyde:
I've noticed recently that the display on my phone doesn't turn off when holding the device up to my ear. Is this a bug, or expected behavior?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kuwlness:
Your proxy sensor is probably acting up. What most have recommended was dropping your phone face-down on a soft surface (a pillow) a few times. Should fix your problem.

*EDIT* You probably want to try this while on a call so the proxy sensor is active and you can make sure it works.
