The point is...Liquid develops roms for a lot of devices. He releases on a very frequent basis. He releases...and Im sure he knows about the gps issue. He is one of the devs that spends time working on the development side and not wasting time with people who want to gripe about him not posting.

If you followed liquid, you would know he is fixing bugs as we speak. And not just for the tbolt, for lots of other devices.

The problem is users who flash his (and other devs) work for free and then be rude on the forum about some nonsense.

If you want a working gps, flash a rom with a known working gps. In the meantime, welcome to development.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
I completely understand development and really if he is as astute as you say he should see the multitude of posts asking about gps functionality. I do not care if it works now just that someone is working on it and I see no posts saying this other than you and if it isn't posted in here how do we know. If devs leave over this than that's bad. I am just as thankful as the next but if you put something out and a lot of people are asking on the same site you post a Rom and say nothing about fixing problems then how do we know
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Does liquid have a Twitter account we can follow?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] steeeler:
No kidding. There's not to many of them left!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
They are still there and making roms just on thier own sites
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yakitori2:
Cause liquids my brother

Joke
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RjsShadows:
Liquid works on roms for many phones and he constantly updates them all so if anything y'all should be greatful for him to be able to.update this often. Donate to him if you can.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
That is true and I def do love his roms!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] liquid0624:
I am here guys no worries update will be out shortly and yes follow me on twitter liquid0624 thanks :) and donate if you can too always greatly appreciated :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MUSCULATURE:
LTB best ROM out there!!! :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
Now thats what I am talking about donation coming!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
You now have 432 followers on Twitter. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
I dont wanna run a developer off or anything, but how do you know he is working on it? has he made a post here to let us know that i missed? It just seems like its not hard to throw a bone out there to let us know he's aware.

EDIT:

I shut my mouth. and when i click on a link on gmail that says there are updates to a post, i would like to see ALL the updates lol. Thanks for the update liquid!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] liquid0624:
No problem undergoing some final testing make sure gps is solid and its time to release :)

Just loaded up 2.4 using Boot Manager. Holy crap, even running this off the SDCard it is nice and smooth. Great work liquid!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FSRBIKER:
If you like 2.4 your going to be even more impressed with the next release. I fully wiped from 2.4, flashed the test ROM and had to use the GPS/Navigation a half hour later. It only took about 3 seconds to get a lock. Oh yea the new ROM its even faster now as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mademan420:
Licking my chops rite now!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
So is the update on rom manager that fixed the GPS?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mademan420:
Not that I'm seeing. I think he's running the latest test ROM(Thunderbread v2.5) from Liquid. Hopefully we will be seeing it very soon...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Yea I'm running a beta right now. I've not encountered any issues so should be out soon.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] fatboy97:
I might come back if it's fixed in 2.5, or whatever they call the next version. I've always found my location using GoogleMaps and thought things were working, but when I needed to use Navigation yesterday and it did NOT work I left this for a ROM that will work with Navigation.

But I do like how LTB worked... and have been using it since v2.2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
Im running 2.4 right now. Is there any way to get the original Thunderbolt start up animation (With sound) on this ROM while its booting up? I really dig that....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yakitori2:
pull it from another rom, put bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3 files in /sytem/media and youll have it back.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
Kinda new to this stuff..... but I'm gonna give that a shot now... thanks for your advice
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
@ yakitori2 - Can you please guide me as to which ROM might have it? and how to extract it? I will really appreciate it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
here is a link for the boot animation and the final thunder mp3. Just rename the boot animationvortex to bootanimation.zip (not zip zip) and install in system/media as well as the final thunder mp3, hope it helps

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9663029/bootanimationvortex.zip

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9663029/FinalThunder.mp3
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
Dude... U ROCK! Much thanks Amigo!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
double post - pls delete
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
no problem I just uploaded the zip let me know if you have any problems
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
Here is a zip file,,,do not try to install in its current form it is for sense based roms, just unzip the contents and go to the system/customize/resource folder and in there you will find the boot animation and final thunder zip just in case the downloads did not go through right. I think there may be a problem with the final thunder mp3 in the last post. Remember rename to bootanimation.zip

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9663029/VortexBootAnimation.zip
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
Perfect.... let me try this... i did install the first two files you had posted and I didn't get the sound and the boot-up animation was little bit different but still very very cool. Let me give this another shot. Thanks bro.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
Ok, It has been hit or miss with the sound for me too depending on the rom,,,make sure the permissions are set the same as the boot animation.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
Yeah... I cant seem to get the sound to play..... let me tinker with the permissions and see if that does the trick.... Thanks for all your help :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
of course let me know if you need anything else and let me be the first to give you a thanks!

Is anyoneable to make a post on google+ on 2.4 I get a force close anytime I try to share anything.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] theryanguy:
I've looked through the thread and I'm pretty kinda sure this has not been brought up. When using Facebook 1.6.1 anytime I try to check in using places, it force closes. Also when scrolling through the updates, the UI gets a little squirrely, like it has a mind of its own.

Edited for being a tired idiot and not searching. Answered my own question.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Seanren78:
This kernel has been absolutely amazing for me. I get stand by time for 16-20 hours and with usage (4G web) Text, twitter, a phone call or too and just just playing around with my phone I am getting easily 12+ of ussage. I believe I found my new kernel. Great work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
u do know this is a rom right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Anyone who has fc issues, things lagging etc. did you HONESTLY WIPE data/cache/dalvik before flashing the ROM?

This is true on all Rom's that its very hard to give guidance if you have not started from a clean slate. I don't mind the 15 minutes it takes to set up my phone again insuring that I now eliminated anything issues that might pop up from flashing one Rom over another. I do use Titanium to restore apps but not always data, some apps have a way to back up settings to your sdcard so I take full advantage of these features. When testing Rom's developers/beta testers always start from a full wipe, so the best advice I can give is do the same.

Making a backup shortly after setting up your phone is a very good idea also, it gives you a backup to fall back to if you experience an issue. Then you can see if an app you added afterwards is the culprit.

That's my $.02, have fun flashing but lets ALL remember the developers do this for the love of Android and not to make a living. Skip your morning coffee/donut/bagel once in awhile and send a couple buck donation to your favorite dev's, any amount is always appreciated.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] buffalowolff:
Same problem here, and yes, wiped everything. Everything except google+ posting works. The rest of that app is fine as well, just crashes when you try and load the share page.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yeahha:
I even wiped /system to try to fix the force close with google+
[Thunderbolt Android Development] toebee76:
I agree! Don't forget to double check your MD5's as well. It's always possible that you could get a corrupt download.

Any one using Beautiful Widgets weather widget having trouble with it indicating your location as no where near where you are? I am in the Chicago area and it is telling me Mexico City...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] temporalwar:
I'm having issues where the screen turns black and when you hit the power button to show the lock screen it only shows up for half a second and then goes black again!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yeahha:
I use weatherbug and it also has no client where I am sometimes it thinks I am in England probably has something to do with the gps not working right

Anyone try CM7 RC1.3 while waiting for the new LTB?

How does it compare to LTB 2.3?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Just posted on G+ with no problem with the app, I am on the new beta fyi. Let me know if you want me to test out something else.

GPS not finding you correctly in apps is an asop bug, not unique to this rom.

Sent via lightning from my Tbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
I have and it is cool,,,kinda like what 2.4 is just with working gps and the signal strength bars work (albeit i dont know if they are reporting accurately or not), however I like LTB better just for the option in liquid setting that cynanmod settings does not have.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] loafimus:
I agree. I'm using it now while I wait for LTB's GPS to be fixed and it's nice. Very similar, especially when you switch to Launcher Pro from ADW, but LTB has a ton more settings to play with.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
What kernels are you both running with CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] loafimus:
The latest Imo's lean kernel. Works well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
Imo's latest mainly cause it has inductive charging included, and great battery life
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Thanks, as long as it plays nice with Imo's kernel I think I'll give it a try, until LTB is updated. I'm on his 184Mhz lean kernel at Extreme with min/max removed and SetCPU at 1.5/184. Running beautifully!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
Love the rom and look forward to the next update. Please try to boost the incall volume please. Even with tiamat its not loud enough.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
Def please about the call volume!

GPS

Hey fellas,

Is everyone having the GPS issue or is it sporadic? I googled a buddy’s addy last night via browser and I didn’t even think about it. I reinstalled my Google Maps V5.4.0 and I am not having any issues at all; location accurate within 5 meters, compass too. Is there something else being used that gives a cleaner reading that Gmaps?

I’m on 2.4 with stock kernel and radio .704w_2 for anyone curious.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Maps worked for me using Network Location.

Acid test is NAV.

Also check for the GPS icon. None of us have been able to even get a blinking icon, let alone a lock.

I too was initially misled by getting a location in Maps using Network not GPS.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
I believe the dev is working on a new release that will be avail soon to fix location
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
The capacitive buttons do not light unless its pitch black. I think this is a rom related issue. Can this be looked into?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] toebee76:
Liquid settings > general > automatic backlight > edit other levels
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
What do you set it too? All i see are a ton of numbers.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] toebee76:
It doesnt make sense? Guess you can try this http://rootzwiki.com/entry.php?39-CyanogenMod-7-Advanced-Screen-Settings
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
I set all the settings to 60 under the buttons settings then save and exit,,,should give you enough blacklight, hope it helps
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cj2566:
I'm saying that I am not having a gps issue... Thanks though
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
opps sorry LOL count yourself lucky you may be one of the few that has maps working.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] devsql:
Not sure if this is ROM's fault or kernel's: I get a loud audio pop in headphones every time I start/resume music/podcast. Very bad for hearing...

Liquid ROM 2.3, Imoseyon's lean AOSP v3.5.8, Doggcatcher or native Music app.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cowisland:
Just flashed Tiamat kernel and the issue got fixed! Yay!

I am unable to install the Gmail 2.3.5 update, either from the Market or by running the installer. Anyone else on LTB 2.3 having this problem?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
Im waiting for the 2.5....

Liquid.... any hope we might see it tonight? :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hairydawg75:
I had to uninstall Gmail with titanium, reboot, and then it let me install the newest version from the market.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] devsql:
I got GMail 2.3.5 upgrade this morning through Market. No issues at all, uneventful.

Liquid 2.3, lean 3.5.8.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] devsql:
Same here. Please let us know. Would be great to get it before the weekend. :-D

Thanks. That worked for me. :)

sdcard

Right. so this rom was running just fine. I noticed that my sdcard was full of junk from uninstalled apps, games, downloads and i wanted to clean it up so i formated the card.

now the card cant be mounted. tried recovery still cant mount the card. tried mounting remounting reformating. nothing works.. ive formated my sdcard plenty of times with other roms and never had any issues. first time running this rom and now my card doesnt work after a format.

any ideas? suggestions? :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FSRBIKER:
2.5 is running nice today, should be very soon everyone.

Sent via lightning from my Tbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mike_Fascinated:
Ok i fixed it. apparently the format option only erases the card and doesnt reformat it. i had to remove the SD put it in an adapter, format it in windows then put it back in the phone. it works just fine now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dakoop:
Not nice to tease the less fortunate
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
oh the humanity. lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yakitori2:
Sweet. Gonna give my boot manager app a shot with this. I can boot into 4 roms with just a reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
Can't wait for the update
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaben2:
I think most are thinking the same thing. I have been running this for a couple days everything seems to work really well. I just jumped on ship at 2.4 Other than the gps, of course
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Not teasing I'm testing, Liquid doesnt want to release until he makes sure bugs dont pop up. I havent had any issues since the install, previous beta yes some things popped up and now they are gone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] House_Ape:
So midnight tonight? :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Is the new LTB built on 2.3.5 like the new CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
id like to know too and also does it have the audio boost applied?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Update soon...Liquid tweeted "getting ready to release"...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yeahha:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] hairydawg75:
Looks like it's available at Rootzwiki. Sure wish I wasn't out of town so I could install it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Yes. It's available now on ROM Manager. I just flashed the new CM7 though so I may wait a bit.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
if a new rom is out why is it not posted here?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
GPS is fixed in 2.5, as promised. Running as smooth and fast as the new CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
im downloading now, hows the incall volume, any louder?

crap... UOT kitchen is down so i cannot port my theme over, ill have to wait to try this release then.

I'm using mr2.0
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fireshaper:
The only problem(s) I have had so far with the ROM are that weather widgets say I am in Italy when I am in Georgia, USA even though when I go to maps it finds my correct location right away. Also, I downloaded Lightbox from the market and when I tried to open it it gave me the "Open with" dialog and said there were no apps that could open it.

Other than those two, everything is running fast and smooth. Thanks for the great ROM!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
I'm using MR2.75 (new OTA radio)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chocoyo00:
Nice Rom! Only two things i dislike:

1)Suffers of low in call volume like other AOSP Roms for the Thunderbolt, compared to Sense based Roms.

2)Signal bars display low bars compared to Sense based Roms at same location.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
Yea the in call volume on this is pretty bad. Liquid, you should check out CM7 1.2 because Slayher fixed the volume issue or maybe hit him up on twitter @LayherDaddy
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chocoyo00:
Yeah, please do! I just flashed CM7 to test it and it is louder. I really like your Rom but can't live with the low in call volume.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
actually the volume is the same I have them both

but volume is an issue
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
No it's not CM7 is definitely louder. I was on CM for about a month before flashing Liquid last night. I know all about the volume issues and how's its progressed to a respectable level in 1.2
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cmotion:
I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the speed of this ROM! I'm coming from having been on a few of the Sense 3.0 ROMs and apparently I just got used to the little bit of lag that was there. Not to take anything away from what they've been doing, but things happen INSTANTANEOUSLY on this one. Haven't had any phone calls yet so I can't comment on the low in-call volume. For those who have tried this ROM and the other CM7, are there many differences or are they pretty similar (in both features and performance)? Again to liquid and the team- amazing job!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Hmm you are in Italy and mine tells me I am in Africa, lol....hope it gets fixed because this is ROM is pretty amazing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
For the people having problems with weather widgets showing you across the country. Set you location manually for a couple of days and then switch to automatic and you should be good to go. I do this with Minimalistic Text Weather and it always works

I was running 1.7 thundersense and tried to upgrade to 2.2. When I tried booting the boot animation was just repeating over and over. I know on many ROMs the first boot takes a while, which I did, but nothing. So I reverted back to 1.7.

I'm using the latest clockwork 3.1.0.2 and MR2.5 for radio.

Any suggestions on what I should do? I tried fiddling with CM7 earlier and the same thing happened so I think it's probably with my stuff, not the ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cmotion:
Did you do a complete wipe (data+cache+dalvik)? Just didn't know if by "upgrade" you meant flashed over without the appropriate wipes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LexusBrian400:
So much smoother than cm7. Everyone should be on this. No joke.

Just donated. Well deserved.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Yep. I set mine manually yesterday and charged over night...booted up this AM and sure enough it seems to be working now.

:D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
You do a full wipe? You can't flash over a sense ROM and expect it to work. Also, IIRC, the latest CWM is 3.1.0.4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mbreezy:
No, I was thinking it was just an upgrade of the same ROM. I'll give that a shot, but I'm positive this is going to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 00negative:
This is pretty slick.

One request is to add go launcher built in support like launcher pro and adw
[Thunderbolt Android Development] marsha12151:
Well, I have tried all the ROMS, including Gingersense and Thundersense, all the BAMF, the CM7, and many others. Each one was very nice but just not quite "IT" for me.

This has hit all my requirements and is really fun to use. Thank you so much for the work you put into this. The colors are excellent, the dialer and contacts are the ones I like. LPP works great. Had one or two phone calls - not really a problem. Could be louder but you will get there.

Thanks again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
should be posted here too. did he also leave xda?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Seems louder to me, but I had no problem with the volume in previous releases.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
even with tiamat it was still too quiet. i wish the UOT kitchen was back up, ill have to wait it out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yakitori2:
what exactly changed in this again?

basically the same for me. GPS broke (wont even acquire signal...or even turn on). Camera recorder still has no sound...Gtalk video force closes. Only thing I see different is the tiamat kernel.

EDIT: Only way GPS works for me is using the app "boot manager" where you can install 4 roms on slots on your sdcard and one on your phone for up to 5 total. Then booting into another rom is as simple as a reboot. The only way it works is to go into my phone rom (infusedtheory 1.1), turn on gps, get a lock, then boot into LTB2.5. After doing that...it works. Camera sounds still dont work and gtalk video still force closes. Other than that not much to report yet. Gonna play for a while
