[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] You.:
I haven't noticed larger than average drain myself
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] strongergravity:
Haven't noticed a difference either. You will put a hurt on your battery when installing & setting up a new rom - the installation of a rom takes a while (20 minutes or so) and the screen is on the whole time. Of course, once you install that new rom you're gonna want to boot into it & set it up, which adds to your screen-on time.

AOSP roms do install faster, which helps with the battery...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] lmt1979:
Boot into recovery, choose flash zip from sd card, bootmanager, phone rom, and flash the update.zip for phone rom that will fix your boot problem.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ucpro:
has anyone gotten the synergy 2.3.4 nightly to work? i keep gettin loops at the splash screen.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yakitori2:
I personally love this app.

If you have a tbolt, I suggest loading the sense rom as your phone rom, and then the aosp rom in a slot instead of the other way around. Sense roms are resource HOGS...and they take up a lot of space as well. running one from an sd card would possible make it lag a little, but let it settle in and overclock and you should be okay.

I can tell you that I have infusetheory as my phone rom and ltb2.5 as one on my slot that I run regularly. NO LAG at ALL. The rom is faster than anything sense could ever hold a candle to. In fact, running sense kinda sucks after using ltb...its unbelievably fast.

Only issue I have with this rom is the lack of instructions on how to install a theme to a rom on an sdcard slot. I had to just load my theme into the entire rom zip and start fresh that way simply because I couldnt get it figured out.

Well worth the 3 bucks it costs.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yakitori2:
I had an issue. Had a rom in a slot... sim went bad and replaced. When I booted into a sd card rom phone force closed. Had to reinstall time to slot. Fixed it after that
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ThunderRootedDragon:
Did you use ext 2 or 4? Just been having trouble getting this app to work and have given up for a while...it always gets stuck unzipping stuff and I have to do a batt pull - I open boot manager, click install rom, navigate to desired rom, click it, wipe system, data, and cache...not sure why it wouldn't work -- running a sense (liquid 1.4) rom and nero's kernel...I have tried ltb 2.5 and CM7 with no luck.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ThunderRootedDragon:
Just tried it...stuck on Extracting ROM to imgs...Unzipping libvisualizer.so :confused:
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] haus6565:
I personally have not had any issues with it, once I followed the devs guidelines.

1 - You must use a rom that matches your phones radio, I have MR2 so I only use roms that state for MR2, not MR2.5 or stock 1.X...MR2

2 - Install the rom, wipe,wipe,wipe. When that finishes, don't reboot the phone, immediatly flash gapps, no wipe, no wipe, no wipe, which I renamed to update.zip and placed into a folder by itself to find it easier.

3 - When it comes up the first time and you go thru all setup screens gmail account...., give it about 15 minutes to just do it's thing and boom, apps, contacts are back. I think this may be the trick, let it sit so the kernal can do it's thing.

4 - Go into Bootmanager, yes if you waited as above, it will already be installed, and rename the rom because when you flash the gapps, update.zip in my case, it renames the slot to update.zip or what ever the zip happens to be named.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ThunderRootedDragon:
Nice! Pretty sure ltb 2.5 uses the mr2 radio the only change would be the kernel as liquids roms already come with gapps...just no luck for me...I'll try contacting the dev -- let me ask you though, when installing a rom, I assume there is to be some sort of indication that installation was a success? I just keep getting stuck on unzipping of some files that always start with "lib" and end with "so" (not sure if that means anything.)...the little popup window and progress wheel just stops...:confused:
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] destroyerbmx:
I like this app, it doesnt like to work with LTB 2.x on the phone itself. Since I got it I find myself swapping around to different roms throughout the day, is there an app for SMS that will store them on my sd and load seamlessly so I dont have different texts on different roms? I know I can backup and restore, but I am looking for one that does it automatically where I dont have to press buttons.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ThunderRootedDragon:
PLEASE HELP!!! So I think I got this to work for a second: installed ltb 2.5 and imo's AOSP kernel -- when I tried to reboot into phone rom the app quit unexpectedly...so I rebooted into recovery a tried 1) a simple reboot - kept me in ltb 2.5; 2)CWM restore and it boots into that sexy boot animation :-), but then goes to a black screen and says "system process quit" and stays on the black screen -- I keep pulling the batt and booting into recovery, tried to install update zip from boot manager, tried flashing an older nanodroid back up, tried flashing nero's sense kernel and rebooting (thinking it was a kernel/rom compatibility issue) and i keep getting the "system process quit" and a black screen.

Help would be much appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] haus6565:
I also assumed the roms that came with gapps would just work without flashing gapps however this does not seem to be the case. I loaded one and it just sat on HTC screen. So I performed the recovery, update.zip, booted back to phone and reinstalled the rom this time flashing the gapps and it booted right up. FYI, if you already have booted the rom once then try to flash gapps, it doesn't seem to fix it for whatever reason. It's like if it doesn't work the first time, your best option is start over.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] zach382:
Now that, that is cool.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yakitori2:
Ive tried flashing IMO kernel on ltb which was in a slot on sd card...did not install although it went through the steps and asked to reboot after complete...only the kernel did not apply.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jawonder:
The app has a bug in that if you install Themes, add ons and Rom updates or nightlies it says it's installed but it's not . I spoke to the developer via email and he said all these bugs are fixed in the next updated which will be out today or tomorrow .
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] icedventimocha:
To anyone that has this working, what do you recommend for the sizes of the sd partitions and extensions?

P.S. I have a 16GB card
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] strongergravity:
It does things automatically. It doesn't actually partition the card either, it just creates the images and stores them in folders.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jawonder:
BootManager is running great now, themes, updates and add ons installs the way they should. It's at version 1.3 and a new version 2.0 with many new features should be released to today.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] icedventimocha:
Aww no fun. I had an eris before my thunderbolt and I thought it would have been set up like conaps dual boot ROM with 4 sd extensions, but that's way easier.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] 2k10MBC300SPT:
I think that's CLASSIC:p
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yakitori2:
After using this for a while I have my gripes.

1. 32 gb sdcard had no room left after 2 roms 1 backup and a phone rom.

2. Using the cm7 theme changer on a rom running from sd does not work properly. If I applied one... reverted and attempt to apply another skin...I get android.process.media fc that requires booting to phone rom and deleting the slot and restore a backup
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] what be up:
ughhhh why do all the good apps have 2 be paid??? is there like a free one? like with ads, so i dont have 2 pay? kinda like rom manager or somethin?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
good app, used it to test ics from twisted. works pretty good.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] icedventimocha:
Try using a different ROM on your phone, I always use a backup of Electric factory 1.0 when flashing ROMS through BootManager because it came with the 2.3.1 superuser. Liquid ROMS dont play well when you use them as your phone ROM, or most with the new superuser. Or try flashing a superuser 2.3.1 update over your phone ROM, make sure you delete all superuser apks from /system/apps and /data/apps first. Force large boot img is a must.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] NickxSfK:
Could really use this. I can't afford it though. :/ I'm broke.

Must have room on the card but this was money well spent. I use MUUI as my phone Rom, but when I'm about to get ny music listening on I switch over to the Eternity ROM with the beats. It has the dock mode that has the flip clock with the HTC weather animations built in, its visibly stunning.

You do need to know whether you are rooted and what rom you are currently running. This information will determine what method you use to flash the Tiamat rom.Have you tested to see if you have root? That will make things easier.

I thought I would throw this out there just because I found it quite amazing after a year of tweaking the vibrant. I just decided to swap back from Simply Honey to a 2.2x rom because I was having issues with reboots while on the phone. I had been using Bi-Winning prior to installing SH-3.9 so I went back to that but this time I installed the Bali v1.8.8UV kernel after reading some tips. I'm getting 48 hour battery life on moderate use where I was getting 18-20 before. This Bali kernel is something else. I think this setup is a keeper.
[Vibrant General] cmrn89:
you just put on bi-winning and bali or did you undervolt as well? settings would be great cause with a 48 hour battery thats enough to get me to go back to froyo haha especially now that netflix is on froyo as well
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
I just put bi-winning on it, rebooted, put bali on it. I'm trying to think of anything else I did but I can't. I installed this combo friday night and I thought it was a fluke or I had forgot that I had plugged it up sometime over the weekend when I woke up monday morning with 25% battery. I made it from tuesday morning @ 7:00 until just now with 40% left. I Just plugged it up and I'm going to make an effort to actually benchmark it this time as I don't believe it either. I also just put the same combo on my wife's vibrant to see what kind of resultes it gets.

Am I subconsciously plugging my phone into the charger?
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
Yep, I get similar results. Currently I'm on ZenDroid 2.0.1 with Bali 1.8.8UV and I'm sitting at 35% remaining and 48 hours since unplugged. Light-moderate use I guess but with some gaming, lots of texts, several 15-20min calls, and wifi on 24/7.

ECOTOX's DragonMODz ULP kernel performs very much the same as well. I have a hard time picking between the two. :D
[Vibrant General] cmrn89:
wow thats awesome, just checked out bi-winning and there are some decent themes as well. So this is with data and sync on as well?
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
I'm currently running on Asgard 3.1.2 (Same devs, right?) and it's running awesome.

Thought I'd upgrade to Bi-Winning 3.0 on my Vibrant.

I'm kind of new to this.. so since I'm on Asgard running the Bullet Kernel, all I have to do is flash Bi-Winning via. Odin3, right? If so, will I lose any of my apps/data?
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
Indeed. Full Google account sync and Facebook once daily. Data is on and using KB5 modem.

Oh and I've also started using the Screen Filter app to reduce screen brightness even more than the android minimum and it seems to be helping a lot as well. Check it out.
[Vibrant General] Jdom58:
Just wanted to add a testimonial to the OP since I'm running exactly the same thing. Just Bi-Winning and Bali 1.8.8UV, it already comes undervolted by -25 I believe and I'm getting similar results on battery life. Kernel and ROM go very well together and it's quick, responsive and very very smooth. I'm using it with ADW EX launcher by the way.
[Vibrant General] cmrn89:
flashed both and so far so good, battery is a little better but nothing as significant as 48 hours, do I have to wait a day or 2 to let it settle in first? Cause I know when i was on cm7 they said let bali run for a day or 2 then after that youll notice the difference

[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
The stock battery will not last with more than 2.5 hours (+/-) of Display use, no matter how you slice it.
[Vibrant General] kaintfm:
Well, that's just plain wrong. I've been gaming through multiple episodes of "The Good Wife" with my family and my battery is down maybe 20%.

Now, 2 1/2 hours of an all white background on maximum brightness might kill your battery (flashlight apps), but not typical use.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I don't know exactly what "gaming through multiple episodes" means but a screen is a screen. There's no software affects the display's energy use. Like I said, the +/- depends on your brightness settings and exactly what you display on your screen. I challenge you to show me battery usage screen shot with more than 2.5 hr of display on time on a single charge (with stock battery). I don't doubt you can push 48hrs on a single charge, but chances are, the display on time is less than 3 hours ;)
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Does anybody have some screenies to prove it?
[Vibrant General] fflegend85:
I have the exact same setup and my battery life is nowhere near as good. And this is just with data on, no bluetooth, wifi, gps, sync, etc.
[Vibrant General] Gyan_tt:
Echoing the sentiments of others... Seeing is believing ;) screen shots guys. Thanks
[Vibrant General] kaintfm:
Well, you're in luck! I'm breaking in a new 1700mah battery and want to drain it down to 20% anyway. I'll do so with the screen on my default homepage instead of using the flashlight app. I'll run a stopwatch app in the background and get you some numbers. If you're right, I'll eat my hat!

Then again, since you said +/-, even if it lasts 72 hours, you're still right. It's just 2.5hrs +/- 69.5 hours :)
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
I'm the OP and for the last two days my battery has not been lasting nearly as long. Of course I have gone for light/moderate use to heavy use but also I'm seeing it chew through more battery when idle. I'm not sure what has changed to make this happen. I've kept wifi off. I don't think this had anything to do with it but it seemed to start using more battery as soon as I installed the google maps update but the battery profiler doesn't say anything about maps. Oh well...
[Vibrant General] kaintfm:
Well, after 2hr30min, my battery is at 84%. Sure, it's a new battery, and the 84% is probably a little inaccurate, but I haven't stopped the test, so we'll see where it goes from there. Wifi, Bluetooth, and Data are on as well as several widgets on my homepage. I haven't done much with it except keep the screen on indefinitely and send/receive a few texts.

Anyway, the proof is in the pudding. Mmm... pudding...
[Vibrant General] kaintfm:
I suggest you try out Android Assistant, a free app on the Android Market. It has a feature which measures how much juice your apps are using. For me, Swiftkey X and Zeam Launcher seem to use up the most juice.

Oh, and if you don't use Google Maps, you may want to consider freezing it with Titanium Backup. Will only save you a very modest amount of battery, but if you're a battery saving nut like me, every little bit counts.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I think you miss understood me. I mean 2.5 hrs of DISPLAY ON (settings -> about phone -> battery use -> display on). No need for a stop watch app as the Android natively tracks how long the screen is in use. and the 1700 battery is 100 more than stock so you'll probably be on the plus side of 2.5 hours

2.5 also in real world environment, such as actually using the touch screen..
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Bingo.. It looks like it's the "Rate Places" part of google maps. It looks like it's burning CPU. How do I get rid of it short of freezing google maps?
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:

My first custom rom was TW bionix 1.3.1, and I went over to bi-winning v.3 and I really liked it. I then discovered the SGS kernel flasher and hit upon Bali's 1.8.8 and I loaded that sucker in and I've been getting fairly decent battery life and decent performance to boot.

I think this is gonna be a keeper until either Samsung/T-mo releases a 2.3 update or there's a stable, daily driver gps version of 2.3 out there.

[Vibrant General] kaintfm:
Battery warning finally popped up... at over 12 hours of screen on time. That's with random texting, and a few games of GalaxIR with a friend of mine.

Mind you, my new battery is 1700mah, not 3700mah. I'm not sure where you originally got the 2 1/2 hour figure, but I think I've thoroughly debunked it, unless you think gaming or texting uses up twice the battery of the screen itself.

I think you'll have to concede that at the very least, 2 1/2 hours was extremely conservative.
[Vibrant General] BaoQ:
After reading the OP, I decided to flash Bi-Winning 3.0 with Bali 1.8.8UV. After I've done flashing, set up everything.

I downloaded Battery Calibration, I let it charge to 100%, click Battery Calibration. Then I drain it to 0%, connect charger, turn phone on, but the phone battery indicator show it at 31%

So is that mean the battery indicator is wrong before calibration and I still have 31% power left?
[Vibrant General] JD76:
I also have the same problem.. but its a problem I have with many ROMs.

I flashed Bali right after flashing Bi-Winning without giving Bi-Winning a fair chance by itself... Is there a way I can go back to the original Kernel without wiping data?
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I'm still skeptical. The best battery life I had was from Axura 2.1 (running JK2 modem), which had 25 hrs on a single charge. My phone always died with around 2.5 hrs of display use.
