[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byfarrr:
Go to the development section and just scroll through the list, or search, and you'll find the leaked MR2.5 radio. Directions on how to flash should be in the thread, but if you don't find, just rename the radio as PG05IMG.zip and place it on the root of the sdcard (aka, not in any folders in the sdcard). Power off the phone, then power on in hboot by pressing the volume down and power button at the same time. The phone will look for the .zip file automatically and get the radio installed (it'll go through a series of checks so don't be alarmed).

Be aware that the MR2 and 2.5 radios only work on GB and SOME froyo roms. Just read the OP for each rom and see what radio they say to use and you shouldn't have problems. As for picking a rom, each person will tell you something different. Just check out the screenshots, read a little bit about each, and just try them out til you find the one you love :)

Good luck and congrats on rooting.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Step 1 would be read. A lot. There's some nice ROMs out there, but I've yet to try the perfect one so far. As for the radio, there's a lot of them out there and no ROM will play well with all of them. Some radios might even brick your phone. The MR2.5 only works with some gingerbread ROMs and one froyo ROM. MR2.0 works with most gingerbread ROMs, and the very latest RUU of froyo. The radio in RUU base 605.7 works with all ROMs I'm aware of up to the 605.7RUU. But, its not stable and will cause random restarts. All gingerbread ROMs are built on a very flawed alpha leak. If stability and reliability are qualities you value highly, avoid them. At this point, solid and reliable looks like the MR2 radio and a ROM based on the most recent froyo RUU. AOSP ROMs like cm7 are still in alpha builds at this point.

The radio is easy to flash. Just figure out which one you'll need for the ROM you want. Have any questions, just hit me up. I like to get my hands dirty with this stuff.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Android:
download the new mr2 radio found in the development section. then download das bamf 2.1 gingerRemix.

to do the radio, download and copy and rename it PG05IMG.ZIP (Make sure your computer isn't set to hide the .zip otherwise you will have a file named PG05IMG.zip.zip and it wont corrispond), then put it into your sd card. connect phone into disk drive and your sd folder will open. copy and paste into the root. at this time you can also download the 2.1 gingermix and copy that into your root also. now you need to hold down power button and select restart, then bootloader. it will open and ask if you wwant to update. press power button for yes, up and down volume button for up and down. select update and let it process. then reboot. radio shoulg be good to go. now for the remix gingerbread rom...open rom manager and select reboot into recovery. again use up and down volume and power button:

1Wipe Data/Factory Reset

2Mounts and partitions -> format system (probably unnecessary, but born of an abundance of caution)

3Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache (also probably unnecessary)

4Install zip from SD card -> select rom

5Reboot

(these are the steps I take and were given to me from the mentor I have who helps me when I stop breathing for hours cuz I think I have just bricked my phone. -dont want to take credit for his advice to me)

before doing a new rom, you always want to backup. and more often then not, you will want to do a full wipe of data and factory reset which is found from your Rom manager under the "reboot into recovery"

I'm sure if I missed a step in there someone will point it out, but I think I have it pretty much in line for ya. hopefully ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbow32:
before I rooted I was on the MR2.0 RUU and I had no problems or reboots. I really want a senseless (stock) ROM that is just bare bones. I'm reading through all the different ROMS but I just don't know which one to try. I'm afraid of doing the wrong one with the wrong radio. the one I'm considering right now is the DAS BAMF 1.7. What do you think about that one? Also, if and when the official OTA GB comes out, will I receive it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Android:
I was on 1.7 until gingerbread came out. I love GB and won't be looking back anytime soon
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbow32:
i just tried to get the MR2.0 radio and the link is not working. any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Android:
Server might be busy. Do a Google search for the new mr2 radio and you should have a couple different options to download from.
[HTC Sensation] wbexpress:
1. Am I missing something, or is this a slight malfunction: The homescreen does not appear to go into landscape mode when I turn it that way. "Auto Rotate Screen" IS checked in Settings.

2. There are numerous Apps (Weather Channel and Solitaire-Ken Magic version, to name a few) that only use 2/3 of the available screen space. Weather uses the top 2/3rds, Solitaire uses it's 2/3 from the middle. Anybody have fixes? TIA...
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
1. The homescreen on most android devices will not rotate unless you install a 3rd party launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro. Auto rotate screen only applies to apps that can rotate, such as youtube or any other app for that matter. Try to uncheck auto-rotate then notice how those other apps stop rotating.

2. You'll need to install Spare Parts from the android market and disable compatibility mode, then restart the phone. Hope that helps.

edit - the reason why those apps don't show in full screen by default is because they weren't coded with qHD resolution in mind. It's not a problem with the phone, instead it's a problem with those apps not supporting qHD just yet.
[HTC Sensation] wbexpress:
Awesome! Thanks so much. I've used Launcher Pro for so long I had not recalled that the native home screen did not move. I'm REALLY trying to like Sense, but it doesn't seem to be all that. It seems to actually have less functionality (liking the docks too much, probably will switch back when root finally comes). I've had Spare Parts all along too, love it for the fast animations. I must have inadvertently checked the compatibility mode by accident.

That's 2 more of numerous small issues out of the way. Thanks again...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Looking for testers for a future project that i am currently trying to work on. Hopes to support in the end a wide varity of the samsung devices but for now im looking for samsung tab owners galaxy s 4g owners and vibrant owners that wanna help people that have extra devices welcome just drop me a line....

What is this you ask...

Well since phones are now starting to catch up fast as far as speed and storage and ram and video capabilities of some of the lower end laptops i am going to currently start working on a Ubuntu verrant that will a custom Linux environment based of course off the phone or tabs hardware.

But why would anyone want to do this?

Well the reason for it sometimes its not 100 percent pheaseable to carry around a notebook net book and a few other devices and u may need access to a pc this may fit your bill.. That and It would just be intristing to have a actual linux client running on a phone :P

What are the goals of this?

get the linux kernel compiled with the drivers we need for audio video phone radio bluetooth keyboard and mouse support along with keeping support for all other phone related functions.

linux client that boots and lets you log into the the x windows interface and launch apps would be a great start :P thats the second goal

third will be to get the linux client to work not only with some of the applicatons on linux but also retain the phones ability to run the phones applicatons as well.

THe overall goal of this would be to be able to when you wanted hook your phone using the tv out capablity (supported devices) and use a Bluetooth keyboard mouse and printer and use it as a net book u could also surf the web type up emails and or documents some of which already can be done on some of the devices.. THis might also open up another avenue that we could use or devices for.

This is just a quick summery feel free to leave comments call me crazy or what not lol.. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] penguin0609:
Sounds like a good plan
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
It sounds good too. A bit crazy but I like crazy. I would love to test but this is my only phone unless I can always odin back hence I'm scared of hard bricks :-P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
I don't think screens on the phones are big enough for it to be convenient enough for people to use an OS like Ubuntu easily. Tablets are another story, of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Hince why im going to do it on devices with tv out :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnlaqua:
i have 2 sgs4g im interested, however im a total newb at all this so it may require lots of explaining/teaching on your end ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtddemon:
sounds like a plan to me and

mostly everyone is going to be new to this lol or you talking about computer skills wise which i doubt it would take much since hes setting everything up..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
well the idea behind it would be to odin a zimage with the core files on the sd card and have a script that would auto install the rom upon boot eg u odin rom phone boots says please wait while the os is installed go get some dinner whatever while it goes though it when u come back it would be up and running. LIke i said ultimatly i want it to work as a phone and a desktop. Well at least i got some intrest ill keep u posted on progress.

example would be when u used the usb tv out the phone could auto sense this and switch to what would account for desktop mode so you could use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to navigate and then when u unplug it the screen would switch to a more phone touch friendly enviroment. These are just ideas. Honestly not sure how this is going to work as far as a tab based device its prob alot easier and mb a vibrant phone cause of the large amounts of internal storage.

sg4g im stll trying to figure out how to work around this. Also to get kernels up and have them be more of a unitifed system so i could make one package that serves multi devices instead of x package for this y package for that it helps tremulously.

the goal is to keep this as tech newb friendly with keeping at least some decent functionality on it. SInce the os will setup and take care of video audio and what not the only think u would need really is bluetooth parings for the keyboard and mouse and a printer provided i can actually get this to work...

ill keep all intrested parties posted and when i get something to work with ill move to the android dev fourm for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
http://phandroid.com/2009/05/27/what-if-ubuntu-could-run-android-applications-it-can/

as u can see they can get linux to run android apps heck theres even debin running on the g1 as far as linux goes. THe point of what i wanna do is make it a little more friendly :P and accessable without having to folllow 14 pages of directions :P and not to make the apps as a emulated portion but as a seemless intrgration.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
Im interested. Very interested... Id be will to test when im not working and on the weekends.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Sounds like a crazy notion, but still well worthwhile. I like your way of thinking.

I'll see if i can get my hands on a second device, or get a well-discounted one for you to buy.

There might be some damn good money in this idea for you as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
well im loooking on ebay for someones bricked phone as i havea riff box so i could more then likley unbrick the phone for testing purposes.

Well the problem isnt installing linux onto the phone as i have went though many fourms and stuch getting linux on the phone seems to be the easy part with some reading and knowing what to do and not do. The real hurtle is a genuine way to cross link the libraries. So instead of running the android software as a virtual app (taken from screenies) to more of a native app across both platforms.

Im not looking to make this a omg it will run every peace of linux software ever written as these are phones not laptops notebooks net books desktops. THe goal would be primarlly for business people and people that would say need a quick way to read though e mail check Facebook maybe play a game here or there ( more then likely not) and type up documents if needed. THere is alot more limitation more so on the memory side of the phone then the processer and gpu capabilities considering open gl 4.1 is fully compatibly with open gl es for cellphones actually getting a ogl desktop isnt a really hard hurtle to get past. Since it retains the useability for open gl es
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Yeah, I would expect quite a few device limitations preventing you from the usual run-of-the-mill software.

I wish I knew anything about Linux to help you, but alas, I know nothing :|
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Its ok but at least when i get sometihng working u can test it if u wish
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Thanks :]

Seems to be a great app but it does not show any applications using network on the Dell Streak 5.
[Android Apps and Games] mapeapps:
Strange.

What Android version and ROM do you have? Do you get following message on Apps tab: 'No data available. There is currently either no running application using the network or your cell phone...'?

Everything else works (cell data and wi-fi data usage)?
[Android Apps and Games] Final5k:
Data usage works for Cell/Mobile - don't know for wifi as I have not tested. I'm on Android 2.2. - yes, the message is as you've written : 'No data available. There is currently either no running application using the network or your cell phone...'

Does the Alarm only affect Cell Data usage?? Guess since its called "cell data alarm" its cell only lol. Also its showing stuff like "Dialer" using bandwidth?? Is that normal??

Also this could really use some kind of widget displaying data usage :)
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Nice job. I really like this app. It's almost exactly what I've been looking for. Too bad it's limited to displaying only the currently active apps. One question: what kind of order are the apps listed in? It would be great if we could resort the apps by data usage.

I also can't figure out what's going on with the dialer's data usage. I actually haven't received or made any calls in the past day and a half but the dailer's usage keeps going up.
[Android Apps and Games] Mark X:
Counts overall data for me. Just not individual app usage. This is the same problem with all data counters on the Streak.

If I can assist to debug, I'd be happy to.

I'm running 2.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] John Anderton:
Been looking for something like this for a while now.. thanks mate :)
[Android Apps and Games] mapeapps:
Thanks for all the feedback!

If you don't mind to help... Attaching a debug version for Streak users and those who are not sure about the Dialer usage.

You will probably need to uninstall the market version first (not sure it will let you upgrade it).

When NC is launched, go to Applications tab and then click Home button and launch aLogCat (or similar) and post here values for:

TrafficStats.getMobileRxBytes():

TrafficStats.getMobileTxBytes():

TrafficStats.getTotalRxBytes():

TrafficStats.getTotalTxBytes():

and those with Dialer doubts check line:

getTrafficUIDS() processName: ...

Find the one which relates with the Dialer process.

im looking for an app that can manage my wifi hotspot, i mean that i can see which devices tethers from me. is this app can do what i am looking for?
[Android Apps and Games] casemandan:
NO this monitors data bandwidth usage.

Try BARNACLE WIFI TETHER
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
I really like the UI of this App. It's much cleaner than 3G Watchdog Pro, which I currently use but hate. I also like that this track wifi usage as well.

I see it says From: Jun 1, 2011, To: Jul 1, 2011 is there anyway to change that? My billing cycle starts on the 7th of each month. Also, you can only restore from Backup, but an Option to manually set just the Mobile Data counter would be great for people who start using this app in the middle of the month.

Those are the only two options I feel are missing. I'm not sure if you are actually trying to go for a cell data "managing app" but if so this is definitely replacing 3G watchdog pro.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Been streaming last.fm for over an hour. Amount of total traffic displayed correctly, but Network Counter won't show that all these megabytes were eaten by the mediaserver process. (Motorola Defy on Froyo)

Request: could your app display the amount of data per app since the last time I launched Network Counter? A "since last reset" view per app with a reset button that doesn't wipe the entire history would work too.
[Android Apps and Games] LePeR1898:
You can click the dates to change them

Current app tab works that it shows the total in / out per application (UID) since phone's restart.

Ok, so I got a Droid 2 from Verizon for free (don't ask, long story). Anyways, I'm due for an upgrade though my contract doesn't end till January of next year. I want to wait for an upgrade so more LTE phones come to Verizon (SGSII) though I heard that July 7th or so that Verizon is going to start tiered pricing for data. I use about 5GB of data a month so the cheaper pricing for 2GB won't work, though I don't want to pay $80 for 10GB. Since I am still a customer with unlimited data, if I upgraded later would it effect my data and would I be forced into crappy data prices?

If it makes a difference, my brother just switched (yesterday) from Sprint to Verizon with me on a family plan.
[General Topics] Bierce22:
as of now anyone who has an unlimited data plan will be able to keep it when they upgrade but they havnt said anything on how long this will last

http://www.phonedog.com/2011/06/22/details-of-verizon-s-new-tiered-data-plans-outed-once-again/
[General Topics] n.Klug:
I'm worried about this too. I use quite a bit of data as I use my phone for my own business. My contract expires in September and I was told by Verizon that I "should" be able to keep my current plan with unlimited data as long as I don't alter my current contract in any way. Worst case I may switch to Sprint and pay less per month, get a better phone, but have to take a hit in call service.

[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
is anyone experiencing bad gaming performance on your sensation?

Games which ran absolutly fluid on my htc desire are stocking like hell on the sensation especially contact killer and restaurant story from the market. I tried these games on my old desire and they really run on high frames but the sensation not at all. Whats the problem here? tried to close all running apps and restartet it too but doesnt help at all.

i cant imagine that this phone is having less performance then this 2 year old phone.

im slowly getting sad about buying this phone. Bad gaming performance and gamecrashes are getting really on my nerves.

how about your experiences with this phone comparing to your old one?

hope anybody can help me because i really dont want to reset the phone because i have got tons of apps with alot of saves from different games.

And i dont think a reset will solve this issue...
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Take a deep breath, wait for it, exhale, hoooooo. Okay, have you tried contacting the developers of these old games and asked they are working on optimizing their games to work on HTC's new flagship device? I bet that the issue is related old coding, vs this new piece of hardware performing worse than a two year old device.
