I having the same battery problems. Just texting and facebook pretty mucg. Flashed this rom last night its running smooth, but i cant seem to find a rom that my batter will last all day. 5 hours of use and im below 30%. Any ideas anyone? Best battery i ever got was CM7 but i hated the keyboard and couldnt find another one at the time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
Normally your screen is the biggest culprit to poor battery life. LTE will also use a ton of juice.

I recommend turning off auto-brightness and setting it to 30%.

Turn off LTE if you don't use a lot of data (netflix, tethering, youtube, downloading), if you just use things like Facebook and social media 3G is more than good enough.

Remember 3G used to be the best there was and was the rave for a long time. 3G is great 4G is only faster. low data applications

dont

require 4G speeds. I keep 4G off most of the time and my battery easily lasts a day but I am also not a heavy user.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] TauxiC:
I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work! I have only been using Thunderstick since 2.5.1 I think, and it is by far one of the most stable and responsive ROMs I have used, and I will probably try out Thunderstick 3D when I get the chance to compare it to others that had been somewhat laggy for me.

And I could be overlooking it somewhere, but is there a 5 column app drawer mod for this ROM? It is the only thing I really hope to see so I don't have to do as much scrolling!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
There is not a five column app drawer yet, but stay tuned it may be coming soon....

Why can't I change the wallpaper? When I change it to an image I select, the thunderstick image is always displayed. What's up with that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
Are you using the stock launcher or are you using one from the market?

Also, after making the change try restarting and see if it takes.

I personally don't have this problem. Possibly it is a problem with the image you are using.

I'm using 2.5.5 and I can't get into my settings. Am I missing something? Other than that, really smooth rom man, thanks

I have thunder stick 2-0-0 I think that's why the 2-2-0 update failed.

I clicked on the link for 2-1-0 and it began downloading 2-0-0. Are they the same?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AlpineM3:
Do it through ROM manager...it'll even ask u if u want to bundle 2.2.0 with 2.1.0
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AlpineM3:
Hey Thunderstick, why do I keep having or better yet, why do random reboots happen?

Would like to try a new rom but wifi tether is a must and it would seem by what I have read ...it doesnt work or does it? Any other kernels working for this rom?

Make sure you are using a recent radio

MR2 is consider outdated as well is MR2.5. They may work but I would suggest updating

any chance you can add a mod to have stock transitions
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
Sure can, I will in fact add

mods for multiple transitions.

This is simple and van be done tonight probably. If you would like you can make your own mods with the UOT kitchen, just google this, you will find this is a very cool tool that is very easy to use.

Hey thunderstick, I tried to install the new TSN version from your website and I can't get it to find my adb install location. When I put the location in it still can't find it. I'm sure I have adb install seeing I just finished rerooting my phone...

EDIT: Figured it out. You have to put it in the same folder as adb....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
Puting TSN in the same folder works but to truly have ADB setup correctly you have to set a path environment variable in windows for ADB.

TSN can do this for you, all you have to do is press the ADB button that is in the lower left corner, enter the path and wait a minute or two for the changes to take affect, or reboot windows.

TSN will try to re-initiate the environment variables but it doesnt always work right away. Rebooting or waiting a few mintues will work. There is a very good guide available on my website that explains how to setup the environment variables and getting adb to work.

Well, I tried it again and it still says 2.5.4, should I try it one more time?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] californiarailroader:
Well, I applied the update for a third time, and it still shows 2.5.4. ROM Manager keeps prompting me to download the update, I'm not sure what's going on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
When you flash the update are you doing it from ROM Manager or directly from recovery?

Also try downloading from the link in the first post of this thread and flash that file instead.

you must either be flashing an old update or the update is not installing. During installation you should see a screen come up that shows progress of the installaiton.

If this does not show, the install failed.

I just downloaded it again myself to make sure the file on the server was good and everything is. There really should be no problems.

My server got hammered on release day of the 2.5.5 and I think most of the problems people are having are related to bad downloads.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
OK after a few more minutes of investigation I found that ROM Manager doesn't manage redirecting links very well. I started using a redirecting URL to keep all the download links I post updated at the same time. ROM Manager didn't like that, although it shows it downloading it doesn't store the file correctly.

This is definitely the problem, you must have downloaded from ROM Manger and it probably didn't install.

Try again, the links in ROM Manger have been fixed.

I'm using 2.5.5, and I really like it for a GB Rom. I am having issues with the camcorder though. Camera works fine, but when I try to record video I get force app close error. I've tried lowering the resolution, same issue. Is this known, or anyone else see this? Any suggestions for alternate camcorder? Thanks for the Rom, otherwise excellent for my needs

**interesting update - even though i get 'application force close' error, when i browse into the image folder in windows, the video did record. so i'm getting an app force close but somehow it did record.

Hey Thunderstick,

First off, I want to say that this is one of the best roms I've tried on my thunderbolt to date. Every feature and functionality that I would like to have working seems to be intact. The rom is also VERY zippy, even with Rosie/Sense doing it's thing.

Having said that, I still am not getting what I would consider to be optimal battery performance. I have not allowed the battery to drain all the way down just yet, but am doing so as I type this, in hopes that it will "get smart". Is there anything else I might be missing in tuning the battery?

Battery Details

Battery Charged to 100% this morning (8am PST). It's now 2:00PM PST and I'm showing 23% left. ~6hrs and I'm staring down 3 more hours at the office. My guess is that the battery will be dead within the next 2 hrs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
Turn off wifi if you don't have a strong wifi signal that keeps you connected always.

Don't use live wallpapers

Turn screen brightness too 30% if tolerable.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] bobsbbq:
I just wanted to thank the developer of this ROM. It has been more than I expected and is working very well. The Thunderbolt is my work phone and I have to depend on it being reliable. I have been using in the past synergy and recently Eternity from Virus. While the Eternity ROM was ok I did not like the kind of community they are building on their forum (just not my kind of crowd). Then I had a issue where my outlook template would not show tables, so I decided to try your ROM and I was happy the tables showed. I hope you keep developing for this device. I have to keep it another year. LOL

Has anyone tried installing your desktop notifier through wine on linux? I'm downloading your rom now, and just curious as to how much luck I'll have using all the features.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
It's a nogo for wine, sorry.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jodell22:
No big deal. Can always use virtual box right? :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
I think the problem comes when it needs to save settings to the windows registry along with retrieving CPU data (used for identifying you during logging in).

It also is tied in to using ADB from the command line which I dont think WINE emulates very well.

There are a lot of incompatibility issue that just make it not work with linux. It is truly built for windows users.

Sorry...

Is it safe to flash the new radio from the latest verizon update? I am on

v.2.5.6. Some people in the radio thread have reported that flashing the radio has started an auto download of the new verizon update which will result in losing root. Are OTA's completely disabled in this ROM?

Go ahead and flash it, if you get a notice to update ignore it..

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
The app is free, using it is free and it just means it works. Some roms do not have a working version of it included or the app is not compatible with that ROM. This rom works with the version from the market.

Also sense 3 weather fc's

Anyone know of the change log for 2.5.6? I can't find anything on it other than the fact I have it.

Also, once in a while when I'm in an app and I click home my home screen acts as if it just booted up and the apps in my app drawer reload just like the phone just booted. It only takes about 10 seconds, but still annoying.

when you first install this, wipe everything. Not factory reset, but go to recovery and format everything but your sdcard.

I had ran this rom for months with out force closes. You got to be doing something seriously wrong to make this happen.

How to lock phone

Is there a way to setup a lock on the phone to prevent someone from using the phone? I tried setting up the lock on the Security section of the settings menu and created a pattern to unlock the phone, but it won't apply. I just get the normal swipe the ring to unlock. My kids like to mess with my phone and I wanta way to keep them out. I have no problem with not being able to use the shortcuts on the Rosie lock screen if I have to.

Airpush spam from Bloat Freezer

Thunderstick, just so you know, Bloat Freezer is causing spam in notification bar. I used Addon Detector to find this out. I have deleted the program. Perhaps you could eliminate it from future builds.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
If you have any more trouble with this, you can use the MOD from ROM Manager that give you the AOSP style lock screen. This deletes the sense lock and android will default to it's own lock screen. This should eliminate any problems with getting a gesture or pin number type lock to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderStick:
Thanks for letting me know, this is definitely not cool to be in the ROM.

I think bloat freezer is part of the CPU master program I included for overclocking. Feel free to just uninstall it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sreddos:
I might do that because now I essentially have 2 lock screens: the sense ring and then the pattern lock.

On another note, I wanted to check to see if anyone has been having problems with their data connection. I am running the the most recent Thunderstick version as well as the most current radios. Sometimes I lose my data connection and when I go to the Quick Settings drop down, the Mobile Network button is greyed out and I can't even click on it to turn the network on or off. Most of the time I have to restart the phone to get the data connection to come back on. After that it will work fine but then this happens again a few days later.

This recently started happening to me... But I don't have to restart the phone... After a minute or so it turns back on
