Hey guys, I've been itching to try this rom out for a while now, but didn't wanna put up with any issues and want a good rom. I'm currently on bamf 1.7 and I was wondering are there any annoying issues with this rom? Should I just wait until the official release comes out?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Screwbal:
I'd say wait for the next version. This one I've been running for a while now and its awesome. But they have said they are really close to a new one with some cool UI changes and I'd hate to say flash this now then have the new one drop once you're setup. But soon if they make it sound like its further out then give this a go. VVM doesn't play nice but search this thread for my post about using Google voice if you aren't already on it (it kicks VVM in the ass) :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] notstevek:
dunno if anyone else had sense 3.0 problems but outta nowhere I couldn't unlock my screen (no unlock screen, just notification bar) had to reflash...

anyway to restore messages from a backup?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] satseaker:
That with the unlock screen is the only problem i have ever had that i had to ask about(everything else i searched and found the answers,hint hint to all the lazy ones),the only fix i found was to use my car dock to unlock it and then choose another one of the unlock screens in the personalize menu. The weather one is by far the best.

Has anyone who used bamf gingerbread rom bricked their phone? I was actually gonna try it out but after seeing that a few people have had their phones bricked, kinda having second thoughts.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mkilla:
The odds are extremely safe if you do everything right, if you don't then you may run into problems but I really don't think you'll brick it cause of gingerbread.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c_live_lee:
Agreed. Just checked the poll and it says just over 4% have bricked. I would imagine a percentage of those have since recovered as well. I don't doubt that it has happened but, highly unlikely.

I haz Gingeritis! :D

Call volume is too loud?

I am running BAMF 2.0 beta 5 and everything is great except my call volume is too loud. I'm running imo 2.8.1 lean kernel. I had this same issue in BAMF 1.6.3 but there was a patch posted to fix the issue. I have to turn the volume all the way up then back down to get the volume down to a normal level. Does anyone know how to fix this?:confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
So looking forward to the Kingdom port being added. I bet they already have it ported and Butch is working on some really cool mods for it! :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spartan141:
does anyone have a problem with the weather live wallpaper not working after about 10 seconds. i apply the wallpaper and it will run for 10 seconds and then it will freeze. and not work anymore. it wont FC, but its not constantly running like the other live wall papers.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spartan141:
it way more addicting than crack.

You might try downloading the VM Heap tool (it's free in the Market) so you can increase the default setting. My heap size is 64m (though recommended is 32, my device runs better at higher settings).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] serika:
One more thing, how's the battery life for you guys?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AndroidGraphix:
I flashed gingerbread about a week ago. No problems of any kind.

EDIT. I had three reboots but that was days ago.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jetdr:
Incoming text messages are off by one hour. What am I doing wrong? Out going text messages are my current time but the incoming messages come in with an hour later time stamp.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Download SMS Time Stamp fix from the market. Should fix your time issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jetdr:
YUP that did it. THANKS
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turb0wned:
To try this or not....... I hate sense, which is the main reason I haven't tried this.. Can someone please convince me otherwise lol. Can someone give me the link to the RIGHT radio to use for this..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JoseGutierrez:
Battery life on this ROM is the best I've ever used on the TB. I can go

12 hours with moderate use and push notifications on for apps like Facebook and Twitter and still have battery left. Charging does take longer however. But if you charge every night like I do, you won't notice it except for the initial charge after flashing. Highly recommend this ROM. Sense 2.1 is worth it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] serika:
So I went ahead and installed it. mind is BLOWN!! LOVE IT! will be sending some donations!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidHeadNY:
Came back to gingerbread and this rom about a week ago now and I'm loving it. One problem though and i'm not sure if it's a kernal or rom problem? I love the FlexT9 keyboard, installed it, but keep getting forceclose's when I try to use it. Searched the thread and didn't see anything about it. Can anyone help me out???

I'm using Imoseyon's latest 2.8.2 kernal and I saw somewhere around version 2.7.1 or so, something in the changelog about a keyboard but I don't know if his tweaks are what's causing the forceclose's???
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Immolate:
Butch,

When you get a chance, this bug has been out there since the first Gingerbread ROM:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tct08:
I have the same %d times issue but I've never seen it where it warns you of how many more times you have to try before device data is deleted. Does that actually happen? Seems like it'd be a good way for someone else to mess with your phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
I hated Sense too, maybe even worse than you, but I love what this team has done with this ROM. For starters, there is a lot of Sense 3.0 in it, so it's not quite the same Sense you're used to seeing. Has the best lock screen I've ever seen, for example. And, the BAMF team has added many mods to it, it's just a gorgeous ROM, you really need to just try it. I actually like Sense now, and I didn't think that was possible!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
This is just TITS. The bee's knees. The cat's meow. Whatever you wanna call it. It's fricking FAN-FFF'n-TASTIC.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] iOSh8er:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ray5780:
I have quite a bit of apps on my phone, plus i doubt i have as much knowledge as most people on here so i wouldn't call me anal, more so cautious of my own lack of knowledge

thanks for all the feed back so early in this release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stagejuan:
ahhh screw it Im off tomorrow gonna flash this thing :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gregnice37:
Hmmmm, first problem i've ever come across. Getting constant FC's when trying to get to dialer? Any ideas???

Seems to be having trouble syncing the google contacts as well, possible causing the FC's on dialer.:confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
I'm getting FCs on SetCPU... no big deal I'll either try Toolkit or speedtweak ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iOSh8er:
A full wipe seems necessary :(. I am getting FC's in the toolkit after trying to remove my status bar clock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iOSh8er:
The toolkit seems to OC without a problem! :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dirtyfingers:
I thought the clear button was going to be a lot larger in the remix??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
OC'd just fine with Toolkit. Will miss SetCPU's profiles.

Force Close (on full wipe):

Super Manager

Gingerbread Keyboard

otherwise no probs!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iOSh8er:
Can anyone else verify a FC on status bar clock removal in BAMF Toolkit?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
No Force Close here, but I did get a "unclean reboot" or whatever and it didn't apply it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stagejuan:
wow... so even with a factory reset still getting force closes on setcpu :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iOSh8er:
Thanks, I am getting the same results as I did with a dalvik-only wipe. :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
Yea no biggie here for me though as that clock doesn't bother me so much :P!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iOSh8er:
Still a no-go on the dialer?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gregnice37:
So I guess i'm the only one having problems syncing contacts thru google??? and dialer getting fc's?????
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iOSh8er:
Yeah its no big deal, I just wanted to verify that I had a clean d/l & install.:D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gregnice37:
Yeah, still a no-go, went to the extreme and reflashing now with full wipe.:(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
My status bar and noti pulldown are gray...hard to see....did I miss something? I flashed the radio and then this ROM and imoseyon new lean kernel.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Screwbal:
Likely just the remix version. Some of its shading in areas can be hard for me to see at times too. Try the regular non remix 2.05 bamf rom and that may be a bit easier to see.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] je300zx:
After flashing this rom and the sense removal zip my computer WILL NOT recognize my phone at all. What happened?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hubba:
Bluetooth Hang Up Static

Had to risk the Ginger kiss of death as I this is still one of the very best ROM's my bolt has ever rocked.

With 2.0 Beta5 remix & imoseyon 2.8.2GBtest2 184 I'm getting this loud pop of static when a call ends over bluetooth in my car. FYI it's a 2007 Acura MDX with factory bluetooth, and this is the first time I've has this noise. It's not a deal breaker, but kinda sucks when you've had to turn up the volume due to road noise & the burst of white noise at full volume when you hang up or the call ends is pretty harsh.

I didn't have this issue with remix 1.7 & the Froyo kernals... and I've already tried swapping for other GB imoseyon kernals but the noise is still there.

Again it's only when the call ends. Thanks for any assistance... and
[Thunderbolt Android Development] UPSGuy:
After 9 days running this rom I'll post my experiences with it for everyone.

In summary, I say flash it--You'll love it & thanks to those who put in the time on it.

In 9 days I have had zero reboots. On previous roms I had 4-6 per day. A tip was shared here that works for reboots. After flashing and claring the dalvik cache, make sure when it boots up for the first time, you leave it alone. Just let it boot and then let the screen go to sleep. Give it a few minutes. The performance is really good. Everything works great except as noted the camera will be very slow to respond unless you overclock.

No battery charging issues. Charges quickly on home ac adapter, oddly faster on a car charger, of course a bit slower on usb.

One freeze up. Approximately 2 days after flashing, the device wouldn't wake up from charging. I unplugged it from the ac charger and the charging light stayed on and the screen stayed black/non-responsive. I pulled the battery and I've been fine since. This same thing happened on the regular bamf 2.05 as well.

I noted when using the gps in the car, the battery temperature got up around 110 degrees F, but that's still in a safe range.

I thought of one other thing: Sometimes after unplugging the phone from charging, the battery meter will stay all gray in the top bar, rather than displaying a percent. Plugging it in and unplugging it again or rebooting fix it, but it sometimes doesn't update. No biggie.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] UPSGuy:
Plug in your phone. Change the mode on the phone to internet pass through. Wait a couple minutes for the computer to load the drivers, then change it back to disk drive or charge only and it will show up under my computer. You should only have to do this once, but it can be repeated. If you still have no luck, install htc sync for the drivers then rinse & repeat.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] je300zx:
its just sitting there 'turning on....' Not getting any response out of it though and HTC sync was already on my computer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] je300zx:
Windows is giving me a code 43 in device manager
[Thunderbolt Android Development] je300zx:
or the cable i got at the verizon store isnt really so stellar.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
So I finally broke down and flashed this last night. Everything going good so far no issues at all. My question is how to I get the screen off animation that gingerbrread is known for? I even tried flashing the zip file in the das bamf 2.0 thread and it did nothing. Does anyone have a workng .zip for this I am talking about the lock animation not the shutdown animation thanks.

Nevermond. Spare parts animations set to fast couldn't see it....... I'm stupid.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tazman19:
Tempted to go back to this so bad... Was on it for 3 day prior to the brick scare. It's unbelievable. Since I rooted hav not used any rom other than bamf.

Now I hear they are real close to dropping bamf with full sense 3.0.... Probably going to wait an jump back in at that time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mptrh336:
Has anyone had issues being able to add a second google account for this ROM? I use separate google accounts to manage my gmail for work and personal as well as my contacts, and every time I try to add my secondary google account it acts as if it has been added, but then will not sync, and the account disappears completely from the phone. I've tried adding via accounts and sync in settings, in the gmail app, and I have even gone through setup a couple of times. I've tried fixing permissions in ROM manager but cant get that to work at all. Could it be the kernel I'm on? Otherwise this Rom was fantastic until this morning when I had the lockscreen problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
So Do It Man!

Join the GB crack addicts!

This rom rocks, I just came back a week ago and very happy.

Running the latest radio 2.8.2gbtest4 and on #1 selection which is the normal setting. 245/1408

Is there more then one gingerbread radio available?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I think he was talking about the newest Imo kernel ... as far as I know there is only GB radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mkilla:
Correct, only one radio so far.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
I just got a randoom reboot I hope this doesn't keep up. Quick question if I want to shut off Ltd cause its not in my area do I select cdma prl aauto or cdma only?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I always select CDMA PRL AUTO .... with CDMA only I would only get 1x
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racinwarrior:
does anyone know where the images for the clock and the lower dock are stored?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lilcdroid:
Clock is in system/app/HtcClockWidget.apk/drawable-hdpi and the dock images are in system/app/Rosie.apk/drawable-hdpi, drawable-land-hdpi, and drawable-port-hdpi.

checking back in and wondering if the slow charging issue has been resolved ?? want to come back and give it whirl again but that slow trickle charge was killing me
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stastnysnipes26:
i thought there was an update coming soon? i read that about 4 days ago i think and havent seen anything since
[Thunderbolt Android Development] midnight assassin:
That's kernel related not Rom related. Try in with imos newest kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] B3L13V3:
When you think about it, besides not having full 3.0 sense what needs to be updated? This Rom is far beyond perfect IMHO and besides these guys have have far more important things to worry about so we just gotta chill till its ready.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] millbean:
Will do! Thnnx
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
Slow charging? Never experienced that with any rom. That like those who think the rom is killing their battery life when all reality its either the kernel or the haven't reset battery stats since the new rom install.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SteveDusa:
You know what, I can't stand Froyo anymore... risk I'm taking but I dunno but ever since the first day of this leaked GB radio I've never had any problem.

So... I'm back. Glad I'm back, GB has given a new life to the TBolt.

Devs, keep them up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hubba:
repeating reboots solved

after upgrading kernel from 2.8.2 test2 up to 2.8.2 test4 I started getting repeating reboots. So I fixed permission.. nope. cleared cache + dalvic... nope. cleared entire phone + cache + dalvic... nope.

So I had a vague memory from one of a billion forum posts about removing the micro-SD card... BINGO.

I simply pulled the 32gb card, copied contents to my pc, formated as clear space... and then put it back into the Thunderbolt - powered on - and MAN the rom loaded like twice as fast and immediately noticed the "damaged" sd card... and it gives you the option to format it.

After it was reformatted I simply powered down, pulled, and copied most of the data back from the pc. Not sure what "corrupted" teh card or any of it's files... but not one reboot since.

Hope this helps if anyone has the same issue.. & happy bolting !
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
There's a new leak radio for GB.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] loztboy:
Links not working
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
Just wait awhile. If its legit and more awesome than I'm sure it'll explode onto here in a matter of no time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] D8nkE:
I have a 2008 MDX and my Bluetooth works fine w/o any end call noise. This ROM is awesome. I worked a 12 hour shift today and still had 51 percent when I punched out. Only thing I'm missing is the big clear button, but I'm sure it'll be fixed in time. Great work guys!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ska.t73:
Looks like the idiots that threw it up on that unknown forum didn't take out the info so it could jepordize the leaker... Just wait till someone like Jcase or 911sniper get a hold of it and get the info deleted.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gregnice37:
Ahhh, was wondering what the issues were because every link and thread was gone quick, but those who got the opportunity to flash it said its awesome. So its kinda cool to know it was possible legit, just some bad moves from the people that originally posted it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
They pull the link i think , i have it on my SD Card i tried it and its working great .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sincerity:
just installed this yesterday....love the interface and I hated sense....battery life was much worse than 1.7 stripped though. I charged full, wiped stats and will test today. I was dropping a % about every minute and a half or so.

One question, on google talk....I see that hte video icon is next to my name, but is there a way to video chat from the device to a computer? I assume you can initiate it from a computer and it'll work (never tried) but like I say if my wife is at her computer with no cam...can i VC with her from the tbolt using talk?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kc0r8y:
last night I flash the GB radio and installed the ROM. Got it all setup. Man this rom is FAST. Navigation finds the root like instantly! I LOVE this rom, but after about 2 hour of using it I put it on the charger and shortly there after started getting looping reboots. Seemed like as soon as it started to use the radio, BOOM, it rebooted. In fear of bricking my TB I immediately flashed back to Froyo Radio and bamf 1.7 rom. This morning I got gusty and reflashed the radio back and restored my saved GB image and so far everything is fine. I really, really, like this rom.

I'm just really worried that some how the GB rom is going to brick my TB.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sincerity:
update on battery life: 1 hr 48 mins off, 78%, display 26%, wifi 24% cell standby 22%....just draining man. I have used it maybe a total of 3 minutes in the 2 hrs off charger. I'm overclocked to 1.2 using built in settings ondemandx
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nbajwill55:
+1. The fact that the word "brick" is associated with the leaked radio makes me think I should wait for a new leak or an official release. But I know better than to hold my breath for official.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kc0r8y:
What USB driver is everyone using to connect their GB TBolt to their PC? Since flashing to GB my pc needs new TB drivers.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Select "Internet Passthrough" and click done and wait a few seconds. Then go back in and select "Disk Drive" and done and it should load the SD card.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mkilla:
There was no proven fact that the radio bricks phones and with a good majority of us running gb without brick issues, i would have to say its bogus. more then likely brick issues are user error.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
It is normal for the phone to reboot once or twice when you first install. It happened for me and many others. After that its fine.

Go ahead and give it another try...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
I get the feeling this has all been blown out of proportion. And sadly all it does is scare everyone.

Then again a little fear might be good to slow people down a bit.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kc0r8y:
You're my hero!

I'll tell you, I've toyed with a lot of different roms and this GB rom is by far the best one so far.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EricNotpc:
The only problem I've heard of with the GB radio is when trying to make a call after boot when the phone is in 3g looking for 4g. As soon as 4g is established, the phone will give errors and possibly loose recovery. If it happens, check RM and make sure recovery is still present before rebooting. So I've read in the forums, that is....

has anyone had the problem that i had i installed the remix and when it booted up for the first time no data no service no pri no prl were available?

did i missed a step, like flashing the GB radio right after the rom?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EricNotpc:
I flashed the rom first then pulled battery. Then load hboot to install the GB radio "PG05ING.zip" let boot and let sit for a couple of mins. to let the kernel and rom settle. Did not have the prob. after that.
