same here. viperrom made me completely reliant on some "pad". def an overlooked app...really really useful and reliable.

here's the market link for swipe pad (in case ur crippled) and the system/app viperpad (extracted from viperrom)::

swipepad

View attachment 691768

Also including viperwheel widget...another awesome app/widget only on viperrom that i still use - View attachment 691769

**something you can try if you DON'T want these to be installed as system/apps - after you DO place them in the system/app folder, go into titanium pro, long press both apps, and try to convert to regular user apps (that show up in data/app folder). This will probablyl work, but i havent tested. Worked with gmail, though.**

dayammm looking at viperrom again brings back some awesome memories. my first rom! it really was the coolest themed rom i've seen so far, too. really holds up lol.

Viperpad works on everything I've tried it on. Droid 2 Global, Captivate, Epic, Galaxy Tab 7"... I'm sure it will work on damn near any Android phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
What does vipercomm do? If I can get it working on eh06 its gonna be ported....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Its like that little Android guy on Cyanogen where the team could post messages about upcoming releases. They would post when new ViperROM or new Genocide kernel was coming.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
Oh that's cool.... I wonder if id catch fire if I/someone modded it to work as a general upcoming release app for all epic roms/kernels/themes.... would anyone like to see that if the devs participated?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I thought it was a nice feature. It cuts down on the ETA questions....somewhat. lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brulecr:
Hi i was wonder what you guy think of your device. i am still using my eris but can upgrade anytime now. it is on its last leg, acting up a lot.

My question is if it were you would you jump now with thunderbolt or wait for some of the new devices on the horizon. Not sure how long i can limp my eris along. Was hoping to hold out for SGII.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xebryus:
With your eris, I would just keep crackflashing until something new comes out. I love my bolt and hate it at the same time. I work in a place with barely any cell phone reception which kills battery life. Come the end of october, there will be phones with 720p displays, dual core processors, and lte all in one. Wait for that to come out. I know everyone will say "There's always something better coming out" which is true, but this phone will be next to trash compared to those specs.

So, no, i wouldn't buy this phone again if i broke it today, and needed a replacement tomorrow. I would walk into the verizon store and buy a flip phone to hold me down until then
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brulecr:
Ya i am trying to hold out i don't want to make the same two year mistake i made with my eris, jumped in to soon, it suck to be this close to a phone so much better then my eris and no official news from Verizon on upcoming devices.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
I love my tbolt but if I were you I would wait. The tbolt is yesterday's news and there will be better phones in the fall. The HTC Vigor has me salivating as does the Samsung GSII.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
I would wait at least until the bionic comes out (or until its rooted) I think there's a good chance that the other phones may get pushed back (even though they have no official release date) I would look at the bionic or vigor, I'd stay away from Samsung and LG.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Considering there isn't any other new device out that supports LTE on verizon that isn't junk (Charge and Revolution), of course I would buy it again. That is, until my contract runs out and/or there's a better phone out as well (which with delays and such could be near the end of the year or early next year).

Would I want to wait for a better phone if my current phone is about dead (as was the case with my blackberry before)? No way. I waited 2 months for the thunderbolt to come out while hack charging my blackberry by applying the power/ground wires directly to the docking charge contacts on it. Screw doing that for any longer.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I have no doubt I'd buy this device again. I came from the dInc, and as deeply as the folks over there have their heads buried in the sand, the Tbolt is a significant upgrade in every measure. As far as I can tell, it's as good as it gets. Sure, you could say "There's the EVO 3D", to which I'd say "Yeah... it's about as practical as a 454 big block in a Chevette. LOTSA power with a seriously lacking network behind it." Nobody bought the Tbolt for it's impressive computational abilities. It's the LTE. It's truly the ONLY HTC with a network behind it that outstrips what the phone can do. I got REAL tired of the dInc's stock battery life of sub-3 hours at times, it's tiny screen, it's tendency to overheat, the beautiful yet power-thirsty and VERY dim screen. I've been trying to disabuse folks of delusions regarding this thing called Vigor, but nobody seems interested in acknowledging reality. But, I'll spit it out again...

The dual core chip Qualcomm is producing uses the same 45nm scorpion core the Tbolt uses, which is why Tbolts clock so well up and beyond 1.6GHz. Power requirements to produce stability is strictly a function of scaling process, all other factors being equal. Consequently, you're dual core device will be powering TWO cores identical to the Tbolt's, not at 1.1 volts but up around 1.4 volts or more, assuming a clock rate of 1.6GHz. Now I've looked at stock governors for HTC devices and they usually run 4 steps in clocking for their 1GHz devices; 245MHz, 512MHz, 768MHz, and 1.024GHz under the command of an ondemand governor with seemingly fairly low ramp-up thresholds. Assuming this will be true for future devices, you're looking at a chip that will ramp up quick under even modest loads and will eat power at more than twice the rate of a stock Tbolt. In all likelihood the display won't be anything radically different so power consumption there can be reasonably assumed to be in the same ball park. That leaves is with radios. I've yet to hear of an update to the MDM9600 radio chip that provides LTE connectivity so I'm skeptical radio efficiency will improve. The actual transmitter/receiver is very proven technology largely identical to a GSM transmitter/receiver.

So, for those salivating at the thought of dual core, 48 hour battery life, ultra-fast, ultra-high resolution devices, appreciate that the signs for those devices appearing soon don't actually exist yet.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
I've never heard of battery problems with the Dinc (however I've never been to the Dinc forums) and everyone I know with one has good battery life and they rag on me for having my phone on the charger all day. If the Dinc's screen is dimmer than the t bolts then its almost unusable, this is the first phone I've had that I have a problem with the brightness, or lack of brightness. Some t bolts overclock well past 1.6 but most don't. I've had 4 and 1 was stable at about 1.4, 1 was stable at 1.28 and 2 weren't even stable at 1.2, my Droid X was clocked higher than any of my bolts
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The stock battery that came with my dInc was practically worthless. I couldn't count on it to last long enough to go out to dinner. I bought the 3500mAh Innocell a week later which transformed it into a wonderfully long-lived device. The original Samsung AMOLED screens in those were VERY dim. Most reviews took issue with it's lack of brightness, off colors, and it's weird version of white. It was practically useless in direct sunlight. Other Samsung phones of the era also received similar reviews. The new SuperAMOLEDs such as the one in the Charge are a dramatic improvement, but the one in the GalaxyS is identical to the dInc unit and is suffers the same drawbacks.

My Tbolt reaches it's limit at about 1.6GHz and gets VERY weird about voltages much further than that. It's difficult to say why there's such dramatic differences between devices, but I'm tempted to point the finger at on-board caches. Those tend to be more sensitive to speed and voltage than transistors and CPUs in general must be rated based upon their researched weakest link. Normally, the cache is that weak link. In PC's devices with substandard caches simply have them deactivated and are sold as lesser models, such and Intel's Celeron line. Many of those have proven to be overclocking marvels because the weakest link has been cut out of the picture.

I'll tell you what. The weirdest thing happened that made my battery life almost double..... I tried CM7 on it. Got tired of trying to set it up and restored a backup of Gingeritis3D v1.0 Beta6 and ever since then it's been a 14 hour LTE battery. All I can think is there was garbage left on /system that isn't normally wiped and I'd never wiped it or used anything but sense ROMs on it before. Who knows if that even makes sense... Beyond that, I'm clueless, but I'm loving it all the same!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robsonline:
I love my TBolt. I am of the mindset that if you need a phone, get the best one that is available at the time. There will always be something better over the horizon. If you can wait, then do so, but in October, there will be a rumor of something else coming. In the mean while, you have missed out on using a very nice device while putting up with <insert device here> for the next few months. Not everyone can move to a new phone when ever they want too. I can't, so I just make the best decision at the time and stick with it. I needed a new phone two months ago, so I looked at the choices I had. I picked the TBolt, and I have not been disappointed. I was already playing the battery game with my Touch Pro 2, so I took this limitation in stride. I love the power I have gained with the TBolt and have never looked back. The Vigor looks great, and if I could have waited for it, I would have; however, I needed a phone, so I made the best choice at the time. I think I made a good one. No regrets.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
If I could go back in time, I'd still get the Thunderbolt. I had some rebooting issues but after the last update it's been pretty solid, and battery life hasn't been as bad as most people like to say. I can routinely get a full day out of it. That said, if I was shopping now I might wait for at least the next batch coming out in the coming month or so. If you don't need a new phone right now, there's always a newer, better one coming out, but you could end up waiting for ever for the *next* new one. Probably the biggest thing I'm left wanting is a physical keyboard, but Verizon has really been slow to get an LTE slider to market -- I'm not aware of any in the immediate pipeline.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penguin5555:
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII along with my thunderbolt. While the SGS2 screen is amazing, viewable in bright direct sunlight for me, I don't like the fact that it does not have a search hardware button on it. The weight of the SGS2 is nice too - half that of a TBolt.

However, I would defnitely buy another TBolt to replace my current one since I like the design of the HTC devices best. I bought the TBolt originally since I wanted a 4.3" version of the incredible and am satisfied.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justavillain:
I would buy it again at the same time. If it was now no. The TB will be EOL soon with the TB2 coming out and another one from HTC is coming out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night_Watcher:
I went from eris to droid 2 global to Thunderbolt... Have to say love the Thunderbolt and since I rooted and put on new rom... Performance has been great...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CanesDrew:
The Thunderbolt is a good phone. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. If you're on stock and get the extended battery, the phone is gold.

When you root and tweak it, the phone is platinum.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hot Carl:
Short answer .. Yes.

I would buy the Thunderbolt again. I like mine, it suits my needs perfectly. If you can wait then do it .. there should be some pretty nice new models coming out later. There always is so get used to that. But that also means that phones like the Thunderbolt become more affordable to the masses, soon they will be on Verizons "free" upgrade list. I was in a place where I could not wait any longer and paid a lot more than they are selling for now.

If you are a power user then wait. If not then grab a Thunderbolt for cheap. The difference between these and what ever comes out soon is not going to be that great to the casual user.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Blake1288:
I just flashed the updated EaglesBlood and so far ... I love it; however, after turning off my phone in the movies last night I got the dreaded "SD Card Removed" message. Now, obviously I didn't take it out or anything of that nature.

I've put in a few other SD cards into the G2X with absolutely no problem. When my 16 GB card does read, it tells me everything is invalid. Thoughts?

I can't just re-format it, I have all of my backups on the SD card.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's a Samsung 16GB SD card if that matters.

Thank you!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
You try putting the card into your computer and see if it is read? Then you can just pull your back ups off and keep them on your computer till you reformat your SD.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dskim0506:
Hi,

i'm currently using unlocked captivate (T-Mobile).

and i'm about to perform a master clear via Odin.

would my phone get locked?

also, do i have to do this after getting my phone back to stock JF6? or could i do it from whatever rom i am on right now?

thx in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
Your phone will remain unlocked. You can master clear on whatever rom you are on - it justs basically reflashes the rom you are on, and erases all of your data such as apps and other things on your sd card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dskim0506:
can i pull my sd card out befor performing master clear to prevent any saved data loss then?

plus, what do u mean by reflashes the rom i am on? suppose i am on miui. does that mean i won't be going to stock rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
Assuming you mean the external sd card, yes. Files such as pictures, videos, or other documents but apps that you save to your sd card may behave badly. I've never tried transferring apps like that. Not sure what with happen with them. If you have apps,, you may want to try Titanium Backup to keep them. Things on your internal sd card will be removed when you master clear.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
Well I saw CM7 is being ported by nightly to the sensation. You know the sensation and the mt4gs are like twins with different personality. Also to get a camera apk to work on other rom didnt they released the source for this phone on htc dev site.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cberbes:
Yea, I suspect that the first beta roms will start appearing in a few weeks, maybe sooner. But I wouldn't expect stable roms to start showing up for at least a month.

The camera is going to be one of the things holding it back.

I, personally, would like to see some almost stock roms with CPU control....I would like to see sense go away, but it appears that would effect the camera to some extent. Either way, I'm happy to have root at this point. At least I was able to uninstall the bloakware and crap that I couldn't seem to stop running in the background.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
Well when I get home tonight ill give a look into the source codes that htc released. I'll let you guys know if the frameworks is in it or not.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
I can try and port a sense 3.0 rom for you guys, but i'll need testers for it. And to the above poster, porting from Sensation to MT4GS isn't easy, this device has WVGA, while Sensation uses qHD instead.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
If you do this, try and incorporate the stock camera .apk from the tmobile rom.

I REALLY think it's totally sense specific like the other sense rom cameras.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
That camera has been ported already, I'll try and include it, but i'll need testers since i don't have a 4g slide. I'm doing this to speed up development and i have experience with the whole porting thing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
Really?! To what phones ? I went to check if HTC uploaded the Doubleshot source code and nop not there XD.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
Not by htc, by members of xda of course. I've used the MT4GS camera on a rooted ver of the MT4G's 2.3.4 build and it works fine.:D

And on another note, i've finished the alpha port, i'll upload it to multiupload

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
initial install has me hanging at splash screen.

redownloading to make sure it wasn't just a bad download.

interestingly, the install in CWM took like 5 seconds.. literally. so fast I couldn't even read what it was doing.

will report back shortly.

edit: second go-around with a fresh download and I'm still stuck at splash screen. formatted /data, /cache, /system and deleted .android and android-secure on my sd card prior to flashing.

do you need a logcat, Ace?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
Yes, please upload one. And remember guys to make a nandroid always just in case.

Sent from miuiTouch 4G
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
well I'd happily provide, but I can't get it. :( never run into this when trying to pull logcat.. judging from that error message, it sounds like /system isn't being written to during install? I dunno. let me know if I can help any other way, or if you have a suggestion for pulling a logcat another way.

restoring my backup for now.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
I NANdroided, wiped data/cache/dalvik and installed from zip. Like pmcqueen said it flew through the install and rebooted automatically on me. It doesn't look like it actually rewrote/installed anything because my custom boot animation was still there from before. Unlike pmcqueen mine booted up fine, pretty fast actually, but acted as if I had just performed a fresh wipe of the ORIGINAL ROM; it took me through the MT4GS video and was the same rom, only as if I had just performed a factory reset. I wonder if it's clockwork that didn't perform the necessary functions? Are the files/folders/locations different on the MT4GS and that's why it didn't write anything? I didn't get any error messages... It's been a long time and I don't remember how to run logcats, so refresh me, and I'll hook you up. But it sounds like it just didn't install anything at all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:

Installing NOW...

It zipped through installing DATA PARTITION.

Waiting on installing SYSTEM PARTITION...

E:Error in /sdcard/Download/RCMix_234_Alpha_2.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

I'll try re-downloading... Hopefully it was just a problem with the download.

I tried reinstalling it and kept getting the same error after it had begun the installation scripts.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Seems like there are problems with CWM Recovery. I have 4.0.0.9. At first it started my install and then on subsequent attempts it just aborted. Then, periodically it would just restart Recovery. So I tried to restore my NANdroid and it said MD5 mismatch, then restarted recovery again. Now every time I try to restore my backup it just waits and then reboots recovery... This makes me a little weary to continue trying things now know the condition of CWM... Anyone else running into weird problems like this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
No, don't dl it again, the issues on my end. I made a slight mistake, sorry guys was multitasking and ended up screwing this.

@poster above You said CWM 4? I think that's part of the issue here. I don't think CWM uses edify scripts, which may be the reason for the setup to be quick.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
I rebooted my phone and my NANdroid backup worked...

I'll try redownloading the ROM to see if I can make any progress.

However, since it sped through INSTALLING DATA PARTITION I take it that it probably didn't actually install anything...

I hope any little bit of this helps...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yeah I was referring to Clockwork Mod Recovery 4.0.0.9 - If this is set up for 3.0.2.4 or whatever then there are definitely going to be problems.

Paul created a Clockwork for the Mytouch 4G Slide I believe and using the Revolutionary tool for S-OFF and Root you end up with Clockwork Recovery 4.0.0.8 which had a few charging issues and was updated to 4.0.0.9
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
yeah the script is meant for CWR 3.x :(....Perhaps I can edit the one from the MT4GS's stock rom which works with CW 4, right?
