thanks for your response, and the link. i completely understand your stance on this. you are a senior member here and your last post set an awful example, and just helped solidify many peoples belief that xda is not a place to share or help or ask for help. i hope that is behind us and this thread can move forward.

@htcclay, do you plan on helping the guys working on CM here fix anything?
[Vibrant Android Development] mikeyinid:
Is that the whole error? It doesnt say anything about the boot image??
[Vibrant Android Development] Frank1924:
GPS (Not Working, did it ever?), i need GPS
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
then go back to 2.2.

No wonder the good devs leave XDA...

This won't work with our phone because our GPS is built differently than the i9000. If there was a Vibrant Leak then GPS (and other bugs) would get fixed a lot faster. ATM GPS is NOT working on this rom or any 2.3 Gingerbread Roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] addicted2088:
Not gonna use this ROM, but this is what I found funny:

"This is a Rom from Htcclay. If you know who he is, then you know that the roms have superior battery life and great speed."

He know secrets other people don't to give superior battery life and great speed?
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
There is alot of crying and complaining in this thread.... how is the actual ROM has anyone bothered to check it out or are we all just going to ***** aimlessly?? I salute anyone who brings 2.3 to users but that person must also understand that people are asses and will say whatever (but dude had valid points), but when you put something out there for public consumption you open yourself to public opinion
[Vibrant Android Development] :
yeah another rom powered by winzip.

create a theme and put it on the market ... but this make live as a cm developer harder then it should be.

Damn you kangers -.-

OP Updated
[Vibrant Android Development] Devin5277:
What is the big deal really???? Why is it that everytime someone tries to do something with CM on the vibrant you people complain???

You did the same thing with Eugene, now you are whining about a rom that someone decided to share. Thats it .. nothing more, he didnt claim he made it better, or claim the work for his own. Matter of fact, he didnt even bring it here.

I have a HD2, Mytouch slide, Mytouch 3g, G1, and a Vibrant. Do you know the forum that has the most *****ing about kanging when it comes to CM??? This one!

How many roms on these forums have a CM base? I bet a few. I bet Cyanogen doesnt really get that worked up over them, not unless the peeps are not giving credit, or passing it off as there own work.

Why dont you babies follow his example, instead of playing CM god on a forum board.

While I do respect your work, I dont respect the haughtiness that comes with it.

Its sad really,

@Clay. Man I do appreciate your work and have been a follower of yours for a while now. I also appreciate the way you try to deliver God's Message in everythign you do. (Thats a whole nother topic on another day, but I want to say Kudos for that because it is very hard trying to give a witness in this day and age, and the way you mix it into your hobby is nice.)

man just release your work on twitter, host it on android spin like you use to. I am sure people will enjoy it just as much getting it that way.

Thanks for the update man. After what was said on here the last couple of days I was hoping Htcclay wasn't going to give up on this and say hell with it. I glad to see you and him didn't.

I sent Cyanogen a dm just to make sure he was personally okay with me using his work.

Thanks for this tweaked of verison of CM7 htcclay. It looks nice....!!!!!!

I am looking forward to updates.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
our problem isn't that he took CM and just rethemed it (though we're not exactly impressed either), seriously. we want users to have the best possible user experience there is, and the team has given up on controlled releases of builds (the only reason a build went up recently is basically bugfix while the nightlies are down) because it's just not feasible at this point in time.

the only thing we're saying is GIVE IT TIME. wait until the ROM actually has a *stable* release and isn't in this constantly annoying state of flux (seriously, clay, this will be easier on you too as you don't have to trial and error which nightlies do and don't work, what's broken in each nightly, etc.). I conveyed this clearly in my previous post and everyone either ignored it or were hilariously dickish about it (deserved or not, I don't care).

if you had something to contribute to improve CM, please do so... there's a whole review system for it. want to make a theme? there's at least 5 tutorials in the general themes section on how to get it done with just a template apk file that can work on over 30 devices. my point is instead of running off and doing this while the ROM can be bent horribly out of shape every other day, why not just wait until it consistently works (or even an RC build if you're too impatient to wait for a full stable build).

the problem isn't with derivative work, it's work that doesn't provide additional functionality and just kinda scrapes by on the 5 months of hard work teamhacksung has put into just getting this to boot.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaizasoshi:
Anyone test out the new build yet? Is audio working on calls?

EDIT: found my answer :) Audio issue is still present :(
[Vibrant Android Development] htcclay:
I understand your point.

If I were even remotely claiming credit for this I could understand your point more I suppose ...

But...

Let's do this.

Even after giving FULL credit where credit is due.

Even after personally asking Cyanogen himself.

We'll ask the people.

If they want this down and gone I'll not update again.

If not, and they want it to stay you must leave this alone and move on.

Deal?

In Christ

[Vibrant Android Development] Indigo779:
I would appreciate it if you continued your work.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Kaik541 is just telling htcclay that it'd be a lot easier if he waited for a stable release of CM7 instead of basing all of the updates on Nightlys which would consume a lot of time. And then there is the problem of some people who dont know what this rom is based on, that'll come in here complaining because some things dont work and kaik541 is just saying that a stable release would cause less confusion/stability issues. Htcclay does not have to update on every nightly but he can choose which ones are suitable for an update. It depends on him, if he wants to do a update of this every night like CM7 nightlys or wait every couple of days. Which ever the deal is, everyone has their own P.O.V.
[Vibrant Android Development] htcclay:
So far it doesn't seem that anyone wants it gone.

Honestly, if you hadn't been rude, childish and just a plain jerk and asked me sincerely to have this removed I would have definitely obliged.

But because of your actions and the fact that people want it to stay

makes it easy.

Stop being a jerk to people. It usually pays off much more when you're kind.

In Christ

Clay
[Vibrant Android Development] Devin5277:
Not trying to be rude, but that makes no sense, and it wasn't what he was trying to say.

To paraphrase .... he wants clay to not build off an nightly because it will be less heart ache for him, but the way he conveys this is with harsh words and criticism ... no it don't fly. For some strange reason the word community doesn't sit well with team complain-sung. They want Cm to be all about them. Like I stated earlier, they did the same thing to Eugene when he was making good progress .... helping the community ... Clay I support your work here. Bottom line he got the ok from cyanogen himself.. they can just move on.

Carry on Clay please:)

Totally forget about the Eugene thing. I remember all that drama back when CM7 first came available for our Phones. I believe eugene373 Could of fixed the GPS issues, but he just had of change of heart after all that.

Plezzseeeeess caan youu connntinues updating??
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Link is broken bro
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
this is exactly what I was saying. right now with this you have people running mostly unstable code (just because the phone doesn't brick or shut off every 2 minutes on you doesn't mean it's stable) with most likely smali'd bits all over it. it also has no real explanation or warnings like CM7 does (I wrote the FAQ's for those including a section titled "how to stop using this buggy ROM"... do you think I would have included that if I thought it was 100% stable?). my point is that it's pointless to try and build off nightlies because the ROM simply *isn't* ready for primetime.

for someone who seems to reference the Bible a lot, you sure lack a "turn the other cheek" attitude. and do you honestly think people who *don't* want you to work on this track what you write and would pipe in just to say "hey, stop updating this!"? the only reason I'm still keeping up with this thread is because I find it entertaining how everyone claims like this ROM/tweak is somehow better than a ROM that's built by people who built it from the ground up. don't get me wrong, I don't know you so I can't say you'll never make contributions, but what is *really* being done in this ROM beyond a theme and bootanimation? I can use apktool on other people's stuff too and release it as my own, too, but I don't.

completely off topic: the reason the Eugene drama happened is because we were just as excited to hear he potentially had GPS working as well and we wanted him to contribute back to the community he took from. he used teamhacksung sources and claimed to have modified the kernel and ROM to get it working, all we said is "we're reluctant to believe it's working, can we see how you did that?" (as per GPL) and he freaked out about how we were being rude to him and so-on. the drama was all on his end with us laughing at him for responding like a child. he never had proof it was working (wifi based location has always worked), and we just wanted to know so we could improve the ROM for everyone... HE was the one who caused the drama and told everyone how if it "wasn't any more fun for him" he wasn't gonna do it (and apparently asking for source was enough for him to no longer have any fun and delete everything from his harddrive).
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
If u flashed kernel or modem on this then signal won't work to fix it u do a factory reset an reflash

first of all kid thats none of your business, i dont see cyanogen come here and complaint, second if this bothers you so much just dont come to this thread anymore im sure theres a new episode of sponge bob or tell your parents to take to michael jacksons playland so you wont be having a miserable life. .third why dont you come up with something on your own, how about honeycombe 3.9? or something........

I agree will he just go away if he reads title of this it says testing he not done so stop judging an he can update it when he want just go away before he goes we need more devs >.<
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcc123:
I just bought a Droid X2, but have decided to take it back for an LTE phone before the change in unlimited data.

I really don't like the way the charge looks, but it seems to be just as good as the TB. The TB has the likely potential to have a better community and better roms.

However I cannot have a phone that cant hold a charge for a whole day. And I do keep my phones for the 2 year duration of the contract, so whatever I get I need to be happy with.

I get the idea that the TB lasts between 4 and 8 hours. Is this a hardware issue, or is it the ROM which would be fixed as time progresses?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryceo:
It is pretty bad. If you live in a 4G area, you should get the extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tegan_ca:
There are some settings tweaks, especially in the stock ROM, that help tremendously. The notification/background data is what kills the battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headcheese:
I always get at least 8 hrs with normal to heavy use.

But if your streaming video constantly, yeah like 4 hrs.

Most I have seen is around 20 hrs.

Seems like it always dies with about 4 hours of awake time or actual usage.

In a 4G area. And I think it will get better with hopefully a new OTA.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pray59:
If you are going to play with ROM's, standard battery life is real bad. I loose about 25% of the battery, 4G downloading, then flashing 1 ROM!

Add 2 hours worth of on anf off fiddling with the screens and setups takes it down to 40% remaining, then I have to turn off wifi, and 4G to get through the workday, ending <10%. If I do 2 ROM's, i'm dead before lunch. Gotta get a cable for work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droided1:
Get the extended battery. Mine lasts typically a day and a half with it, moderate usage. Awesome phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Headshots4life:
I can get a full day out of my phone with moderate use (texting, calls, web browsing). I have my settings tweaked and have juice defender running which really helps. I'm on stock ROM and am not rooted, there is a lot you can do to improve the battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shumthang:
Well if you use your phone as much as I do then you would be surprised how quickly the Barry drains out haha

Sent from my TB yo.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikacane:
Mine is usually 60-85% display, and I have it on dead minimum brightness unless I'm outside in the sun, in which case I set it to auto for a few minutes. Mind you, that's maybe five or ten minutes max of screen on time, two or three times a week. On the other hand, a twenty or thirty minute phone call can take ten percent off; I'm one of the people who sometimes remembers that it can make calls, too, so my experience is probably a bit off. I also have most everything set to sync every 2 hours, but I have imo.im running constantly.

If I'm using it pretty heavily, it may be down to 40-60% on the standard battery by lunch, which would be about three or four hours of screen on time. I'm in a 3G area, btw. I just carry a charger; which has the advantage of making other microUSB people happy when their phones die (and we can mock the iPeople with proprietary chargers). Yes, the battery sucks, but every phone has trade-offs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philhyde:
If you won't have any way to charge the phone (car, wall, etc) during the day, then I don't think you will be happy with the phone. Between my wall charger (or USB cable), car charger, and two batteries (spare is the Seidio 1600 mAh), I'm satisfied.

As for the Droid Charge, the Touchwiz UI compared to Sense is a non-starter.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeszekely:
Is it bad? Yeah, seems like. Is it as bad as everyone is making it out to be? I dunno. I remember a lot of people complaining about the battery when I got the Incredible. With light use (about an hour of internet and email over 3G, one or two half hour calls, and a handful of texts), I'd charge it every other night (and have 30% or so when it went on the charger).

I picked up the Thunderbolt yesterday and charged it overnight. It came off the charger at 7:30 this morning, and I'm showing 54% as I'm typing this at 8:45pm. Since it's new, I was probably fiddling with it more than usual (but not a ton more, as the differences between the Thunderbolt and the Incredible aren't huge).

So with 4G on, yeah, it runs it's battery down faster than my old Incredible. But it seems like I can make it through a day without much difficulty.

EDIT: I figure I might as well mention my settings.

I have the brightness set to about 30%. I shut off any and all vibration. Screen timeout is 1 minute, volume is maxed for everything. Bluetooth and GPS are off (unless I need them). The weather widget updates every three hours. I don't use any other widgets that use data (just a volume profile and a power control widget). The phone can do background sync for my contacts, but my gmail, other mail, and Twitter (Seesmic) are all set to update manually.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcimo88:
I'm getting about 8 hours of moderate usage here as well. I've come to terms with the fact that using a device that is more powerful than my netbook will come with some battery trade-offs. :-)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radon222:
hey guys,

I'm going to follow this thread for a bit. My HD2 jumped into the Harbor yesterday and will probably be switching to Verizon for my next phone. I'd really like to get the TB, but am really concerned about battery life.

It sounds like people are getting a battery life similar to what I was getting running Gingerbread off the SD card on my HD2...which didn't quite cut it for me on days I was working in the field and not able to charge. But at least with the HD2 I could run WinMo on days like that and not have worry.

Keep the info coming!

thanks

setting tweaks

Hello, im currently running with juice defender, but i was wondering if you could help me with what all settings i should tweak to help the battery?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
After applying the MR1 OTA update I still wasn't happy with my battery or GPS performance, especially compared to my past phones (Incredible, X, original droid, blackberries, etc)...

After doing a wipe and reloading the apps I use by hand, I have seen battery life match the Inc in 3g only areas, and GPS lock on my location consistently in under 7 seconds.

In mixed 3g/4g areas (where I live), similar results. Battery life and GPS lock are very much improved. And the TB now makes it through the day for me.

In solid 4g areas, well, last night I was surfing the web, reading, looking to see if the GB update for the X had hit. I went to bed around 1 am with 80% battery, didn't hook to charger. This morning at 9 when I looked it had received some emails and auto updated some apps.. battery was at 55% so that is better.

It's still not as good as my droid x, but the TB is certainly more usable than when I first got it a month and a half or two months ago.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopar:
The t-bolt is better than my inc was, with bams GB rom I got 12 hours of heavy use with stock battery....my 2 cents...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryceo:
I just tested my battery life. It was about 2 hours with Carl pagan cosmos on 2g. 4g really eats the battery. After I recharge, I'm going try it over 3g and see if that makes any huge differences.
