Been smooooooth sailing here! I admit I have bounced around checking out some eye candy ... never ran into any issues with those ROMs, but at the end of the day you just can't beat the battery life of this ROM.

That's my opinion anyway ...

[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Hey yanki how many hours you getting with this baby
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Now, this was a pretty light day of use for me, but here's where I am at thus far: http://db.tt/BNewUA3

*Note: ignore the battery icon mod :)

*My name is YankInDaSouth and I approve this message*
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mdunn1066:
How did you mod the battery icon on this rom, what did you use?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
7zip and kanged the icons from another ROM ;)

*My name is YankInDaSouth and I approve this message*
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
This Rom does have sick battery life. Im at 44%
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Nice!!

1.5.2

Waiting for power widgets in notification dropdown.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Yeah, I am patiently awaiting that as well. I didn't realize how handy a feature that is until its missing ... I rely on it heavily I am finding LOL
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DieselvRR:
I know there was some back and forth but wanted to know is Wifi Tether working with this ROM now?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Sorry, this is a feature I never use so I can not offer much help ...

[Thunderbolt Android Development] yoda1:
just to toss this out there the hotspot works just fine on this ROM im still messing with frame work to try and get a few more things done and in this ROM but not 100% sure when it will be done i needed a few days away from racking my brian to regroup. will let you know what i get done tonight...

looking for my coffee fund i think it is gone just like my mind.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MordyT:
Just went through this whole thread… I have been looking for a stable ROM and this seems like the one…

I have many questions from my reading. Please confirm that the infor below is correct and if not, let me know which is incorrect.

You can use MR2 or 2.5 Radio

At this time, there are no known bugs – all bugs reported have been fixed.

4G and 3G are working perfectly.

The 4 in 1 reboot options are not included.

It does not show the last programs used in the start menu.

The battery meter does not give % - just a gauge.

The stock browser is missing.

Alarms are working perfectly (very important to me).

No other “stock” apps are missing

All VZM bloat is removed.

There are NO known wifi or market issues.

SMS backup and Chrome to Phone are removable

Chainfire application manager can be used as is without buying anything or is removable.

GPS icon shows up when GPS is on and does not for the Google location services.

Wireless Tether from the code.google.com works.

Skype with 3G video chat works.

Netflix works.

And yes, if this ROM is all I think it is, I would be more then happy to buy you a few coffees…
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Correct

I have yet to find a bug.

Not a single issue here. I bounce between 3G and 4G every day and the "handoff" is seamless

Correct. I find the free app quick boot solves this "issue" rather nicely

Not sure what you mean by "start menu" but if you mean the notification pull down, then yes, latest apps are still present in pull down.

Correct

No ... It was put back in with version 1.5.2

I use gentle alarm so I can not speak of the stock ... But I've had no issue with gentle alarm.

Correct

Correct

None that I've encountered

Not 100% but see comment below ;)

Everything is removable with root explorer :)

Correct

I think this is right, but I don't tether. So not 100%

Do not use it so I can not confirm

As far as I know it only work GB ROMs

IMO this is about as stable as it gets. My TB was not this stable out of the box ;-P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
To clarify, skype video works with the leaked version on droid life. Chainfire 3d app works perfectly without issues or having to buy anything else. Verizon blocked the tether so once the 7th rolls around you will have to pay for tethering. There is no known workaround and talking to a verizon tower technician, there is software within the towers that block the tether. Also, next update I will be moving the included apps from system apps to completely removeable apps so you will be able to remove them if you please.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Look forward to the update! Any word on the power widgets in the pull down?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DieselvRR:
I have MR2 loaded with BAMF 1.8.6 and Wireless Tether is working for me now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
Keep in mind that it is a hybrid so that any Froyo kernel can be used. The MR2 roms have built in tether detection apps and framework.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DieselvRR:
ahh..I see, thanks for heads up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MordyT:
As for 3G/4G - how about signal strength? Just flashed and it seems the same, but if you have any feedback...

As for start menu, I was working on a TP2... and... I meant notification bar. Thanks!

As for root explorer, I have this... I decided to just freeze them with tb for now.

As for tether, I guess I need more feedback. This thread has it going both ways...

As for netflix... EvO 2.2 had it, no? G2x had it? Can't be a limitation of 2.2 as far as I know...

As for tether, I did see a program (with droidwall) called tetheringgaurd.. may want to look into that....

Thanks!

Flashed and testing now!

Coffee on the house! (or beer :p)

All I need to make this perfect is working tether and netflix...

So far excellent ROM
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MordyT:
Seems their is some sort of built in add blocking?

How does it work (modify hosts file?) and can it be disabled (I show ads to help support devs).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mdunn1066:
Just wanted to drop in again and say i have been using this for a few days now and it is def. my daily driver. Excelent Rom, very very stable and smooth.

I know you guys are working on a new battery icon so but one other thing i wanted to suggest that I see a lot of roms doing is a 6 bar signal status mod, it looks a lot better and seems more accurate in displaying reception quality, in my opinion

But thats just a request, ill use the rom either way :p Keep up the great work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] VolDroid:
I'll second the post above. I've been running this for a few days now too and the speed and battery life are great with this ROM. Definitely a good choice for a daily ROM. Look forward to the new battery icon as long as it doesn't have a % in it. Just my preference though. Keep up the good work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Hey all, lookie what I found!!!! http://www.gtpdevs.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=15
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
good catch dude. Finished downloading. Now time to play :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] byfarrr:
can't wait, downloading as we speak! although i can't imagine what needs fixing :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swgamez:
First thank you for this excellent rom. I would like to have the stock boot animation could someone help me?, I have try many things.

Thank you
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
are there going to be any themes for this baby
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
IDK, I personally feel sense needs no theming ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dat108Kat:
Anyone tried this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
running it now and it is great ...incredible battery life, as always
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Something weird happened. I just restored this from back up after trying out a different rom. I fully charged it. Took it off charger a couple hours ago. Then went back to sleep. Woke up with 47% battery life remaining.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Did you wipe before restoring your backup? I learned (the hard way) it's best to treat a restore like a a new install ... wipe everything. If my battery is at 100% at the time of restore, I also wipe battery stats. If it isn't at 100% I'll restore then charge to 100% and use the app Battery Calibration to reset the battery stats.

So, in short, I say wipe your battery stats :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
You mean wipe data and start from scratch or just wipe bat stats? If I need to wipe data then no need to back up :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Well, it's not staring from scratch really ... First, I NEVER use ROM Manager to restore my backups. I reboot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset 3x's, then wipe cache 3x's, then wipe dalvik cache 3 x's. If I was at 100% prior to booting into recovery I'll also wipe battery stats. After all that, I then restore my backup (which, of course, restores all you data).

some may say this isn't needed, but I have had things not work on a ROM and restore a backup without wiping and having that same thing not work when it did previously.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
I see. So you wipe everything prior to restoring back up. Never done that before. Usually I restore a back up then wipe cache, dalvik and bat stats. Ill try it your way next time :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Yeah, I never used to wipe anything before or after a restore. Then I would have issues seem to "transfer" over after my restores and have been wiping before restores ever since.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shambala69:
Damn fine ROM, y'all! This is more stable than the original MR2 RUU leak. I was having all kinds of problems with connecting to my home WiFi and 3G/4G data but this baby is smooth! Thanks for all your hard work!

I am starting to re-introduce myself to programming so I am picking up JAVA to create apps but what the in the hell do you have to know to pump out these bad ass Rom's like y'all do?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] turbojimmy:
Great ROM, I'm not a programer by any means, so I'm probably doing this wrong, but do you guys ever plan to add overclock? Also a quick settings to the drop down?

I was interested at Eaton, you had me at GTP ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
From what I understand - until source is released on these new kernels, overclocking / swapping kernels can not be done. But, IMO I don't miss either with this ROM :)

I know for a fact the devs are working on power widgets in the pull down ... because I am constantly hounding them about it

:-P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
is there going to be an update for this for the new radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
No update needed ... new radio works great with this ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
thats what I thought but I am getting keyboard lag when texting every now and then. I reflashed it from scratch too. I never had this problem with the other radio. :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Weird, have you tried reverting back to the other radio to see if the lag is still there?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
well ima try it for the day and see what happens. If lag remains I might revert to other radio
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gsubrandon:
Do you have to run Mr 2.5? I've been running Mr 2 with no problems. Just wondering.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
mr2 should he fine ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yoda1:
to answer your question we are working on a few things and will be posting eaton build 1.6 here soon with the updated radio and a few other goodies that people will like and "NO" we are not changing the "battery icon" in closing make sure to keep up with all our latest new on our dev page as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Thanks dude. Looking forward for the new update. I like the battery icon too
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yoda1:
In other News with Team GTP: i just posted a new post in Thunderbolt Themes and Apps. we are looking for some one or a few diffrent devs to design a few themes for our builds if you know any one let them know about this post here is the link to the post [Mod][TEAM GTP] skins and theamed apps

Dont for get to thank we thank back
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Looking forward to the new build!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lytznsyrnz:
Power widgets please

This has to be one of the smoothed,snappiest roms I've ever used,and believe me,I've run a ton of 'em. Still assessing battery life. How about power widgets in the dropdown? Then it'll be complete.

Awesome Rom guys,keep up the good work. This is now my daily driver and I expect it will be for a long time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I agree 100% on all accounts, lol! I think you'll be happy after you assess your battery life too :D

I know they are working hard towards the power widgets in the drop down too ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lytznsyrnz:
Thanx for the heads-up. Any idea if this will be an update.zip or an entire rom? Either way, I'm on board with this one..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yoda1:
it will be an entire ROM. based off the fact that is going to be a remastered build. we are geting some of the mods in that we are looking at for a few weeks. and we are working the bugs out now

have you taken time to thank a dev today i have.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gsubrandon:
Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gsubrandon:
I'm definitely looking forward to the new build! This by far has been the best Rom I've tried! Keep up the good work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ad78:
i like the ROM but the mobile hotspot should be edited... i almost accidentally hit the $30 subscribe button lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Is there any way I can get stock animations for this ROM? Love how stable it is but not totally digging the animations.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
I can put together a flashable zip for you if you are interested.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
I'd like that too
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Yeah that would be great
[Thunderbolt Android Development] apfrost:
Nice rom! They are lots of heavily customized roms out there, but not many stock like optimized roms. This is the closest one to stock that is snappy that I like.

Will probably revert to stock animations also if you make a zip, not sure if I can revert to stock battery with the kitchen, but I'll give it a shot.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bowtie26:
Nevermind

I installed this a few hours ago and so far so good. I just wanted to make sure everything is right though. Blockbuster is still in and I don't see all the programs you mentioned in the list. I do have the new transitions and battery meter though. I did a system format after installing but before booting. Is that an issue?

Edit.... Nevermind fixed after another flash.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GoldenCyn:
This is the best ROM EVER! And that says a lot considering the amount of ROMs I try out but keep coming back to Eaton ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Hey grand prix how that zip going :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
Now that I know it's popular should be too much longer. I took the night off and am working today but will put the zip together very soon.

Just an update. We've been working very hard on 1.6 and I'm testing over and over again to make sure everything is working well and battery life holds up to what I want. Thank you all for your compliments, keep 'em coming if you'd like ;)

Thank you. 24 hours in and loving this ROM. I need stability and use my phone for work with exchange. I'm glad you are still supporting froyo.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Thanks dude.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solarpolitiks:
I just can't wait for the Ginger update so that you guys can make a ROM based off of it. The current ginger leak is still a bit buggy
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kc0r8y:
Does this rom still use Dolphin as the default browser?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] byfarrr:
nope, the 1.5.3 update switched browser back to stock :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kc0r8y:
Good that's the reason I got rid of 1.5. Is it worth wiping for 1.5.3 or is 1.6 close?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djsiva:
Sorry if I overlooked this somewhere, but can I flash straight from 1.5.1 to the newest? Or do I need to wipe data first?

Thanks!

Nate
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
Going to be soak testing. 1.6 for another week or two so wiping would be worth it if you want to switch. We're working on a lot of things that'll make this release the best one to date.

Sent from my supercharged Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
It's recommended to wipe data but overall you should be fine if you don't. If you run into issues wipe and reinstall otherwise you're good.

Sent from my supercharged Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
So you guys don't plan on releasing 1.6 for another week or two?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
Possibly, depends on how well testing goes.

Sent from my supercharged Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Wow. Hopefully by then a new GB leak or release will be out :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bowtie26:
A quick question. Has anyone added the official $30 unlimited tether? My phone indicates to call verzion however I am afraid they will notice my root access and cause a headache.

Please don't suggest that I use a 3rd party bypass, lets not start that debate.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
Yoda and I both have it. You're fine if you add it.

Sent from my supercharged Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bowtie26:
Thank you! I added it today, it took about 15 minutes because they kept talking about the $20/2Gig plan but I'm all set now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
Glad to hear it! ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cynikalJ:
I cam honestly say that this is now my favorite rom. The only thing I wanted I added myself with the uot kitchen. I was able to keep the same battery style but added percentage so I am very happy and looking forward to 1.6.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Anything on the transitions zip?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
I just flashed this again and I ended up with new market.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] the kid escobar:
That doesn't make sense, you should have unlimited tethering. I work at Verizon and I know The4g phones get unlimited tethering for 30 dollars. Just letting you know, you can change it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] caseym:
Just installed this rom today. Where are you guys getting the battery icon with percentage? I love the look of it but I would like to have the percentage shown.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bowtie26:
Your right but the rep was not aware of that plan. The 15 minutes was how long it took her to figure out I knew what I was talking about and get a manager.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grand Prix:
I know I've been slow on this one, life has been hectic. I will be posting it soon. It's easy to put together, but family has been in town so real life has taken over for a bit. I will post up the zip as soon as I can.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] the kid escobar:
Oh okay good, I didn't want you to have a deal that wasn't what you could have. On a related note, this is actually a loophole to get unlimited data on a plan after the July 7 cut off. If you didn't have unlimited data and you get mobile 4g hotspot they change your plan to have unlimited data. If you drop the hotspot, the unlimited data sticks and you are grandfathered in ;)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] soonster:
any chance of having a theme package? I've been meaning to look into changing the BATTERY icon and 6 BARS SIGNAL if possible via UOT Kitchen, no cake. loving the rom, but looking for some minor tweaks, any help is greatly appreciated. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] caseym:
Amazing Rom!

Wow...this is seriously the best rom I've ever used. Team GTP, you guys have done an AWESOME job with making this rom as stable and battery life as great as possible. A couple of months ago, I got so frustrated with the battery life on my TBolt that I actually switched back over to my original D-inc for a couple of weeks.

Since then I've been searching for a rom with great battery life. Tried BAMF 2.1 and then BAMF 3.0 rc4.9 and though everyone else was saying how great battery life was, I wasn't seeing the same results. I was getting about 6-8 hours complete drainage between charges with moderate-high usage. Also tried CM7 and it was even worse (no offense to the developers of either, both are GREAT roms). Enter Eaton ROM 1.5.3...just loaded it up last week and ran it all weekend so far...wow, what a complete change! I barely had to charge my phone this weekend. I'm getting anywhere from 24-28 hours of moderate-high usage. This rom is very clean, stable and fast. The transitions are very nice and overall, this is the BEST performing rom for the TBolt that I've seen (and I've tried a lot of them).

Thank you team GTP! Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what you've got in store with future updates.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GermanGuy:
Custom Kernels?

Does this ROM allow custom kernels?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
No, custom kernels will not work ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DieselvRR:
This post in itself is going to make me try Eaton. Just have to find the time to flash!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
You will not be sorry! While I have not quite gotten the battery life he posted, this ROM is the best I have ran in that regard. I can go from 12-14 hours on 4G all day with lite to medium use ... Which I am estatic with. But battery aside, the this thing is rock solid - everything just works!

Give it a go, and you won't regret it!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CenFlo:
The wifi tether may be a deal breaker for me and I really like this ROM.

I dont think the "towers" can tell you're tethering like some have suggested. It's more than likely a kernel issue or the ROM and/or tether APK needs a fix like on the GB ROMs.
