[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRob44:
Hi, everyone. I'm used to rooting/ROMing/etc. on the Samsung Epic, but I'm very new to the Thunderbolt. I rooted my girlfriend's phone and had some problems with the data connection being inactive following a kernel install. I went back to as close to stock as I could in order to get everything working again, but new problems have surfaced:

1. GTalk crashes

2. Camera fails to open

3. Documents fail to open, as in Word

4. Phone fails to update, though it indicates an update is ready

Right now, she's on a pretty much stock Froyo ROM and what I believe is the stock kernel, or something very close.

I've read a bit about the camera and gtalk problems. I saw a link to a CWM flashable zip that apparently fixes the date problem that causes the closes. However, it wasn't clear if that zip was only for GB for if it also works for Froyo. Please advise on that.

I haven't seen any reference to the document opening problem, unfortunately.

As far as the update thing goes, I'd rather keep her on a custom ROM, as I assume the update will kill her root.

Basically, I'm looking for a stable and reliable kernel, ROM (preferably GB), and radio combination that is known to run without issues. Last time I tried to pick a combo myself, it ended up killing the data connectivity, so I'm trying to figure out the "best" combination that is known to work. Also, if there are any Thunderbolt-specific flashing procedures that tend to cut down on force closes and errors following a flash, please let me know.

Thanks a lot,

-Rob
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
When you say update, you mean OTA? If so, you have to be 100% stock to get an OTA to install. You can't have a custom recovery installed.

Pretty much all the GB ROMs out there are pretty stable. The question is, do you want a Sense ROM, or AOSP?

As far as kernels go, Imoseyon's kernels are top notch. I prefer jdkernel for AOSP ROMs though.

I use the latest OTA radio and have 0 problems, and it works for both froyo and GB ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRob44:
...

Thanks a lot for the response. I'd like to keep on the Sense side of things, just to keep the user experience sort of like stock for the girl.

So, to go one step at a time:

First, the radio. Is this the latest OTA radio that you mentioned (MR2?): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154010

Second, the kernel. It looks like nerozehl has a great kernel that's based off of Imoseyon's leankernel. There are so many versions, though. Would the latest Sense kernel 2.3.6 (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099996) be appropriate, considering the ROM below?

Last, the ROM. It looks like SynergyROM is a good place to start. I believe the latest one is found off the download link near the top of this page: http://infectedrom.com/showthread.p...IGHTLYS-2.3.4-SENSE-3.0-★-☆-★?p=4368#post4368 Any thoughts on SynergyROM?

Does that combination seem like one that should work correctly?

Also, just so I have the steps correct for installation:

1. Flash radio in hboot.

2. Wipe in CWM (cache, dalvik cache, anything else?)

3. Flash kernel in CWM.

4. Flash ROM in CWM.

5. Reboot.

Thanks again for any help. It is definitely much appreciated. Can't go around breaking the girlfriend's phone, after all...it just looks bad!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
If you flash the kernel before the ROM whatever kernel comes built in to the ROM will overwrite the kernel you just flashed. I would say ROM, kernel, radio.

Oh and when you wipe I would do:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache

3. Advanced, wipe dalvik cache

4. Under mounts and storage select format /system

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRob44:
JBO, thanks for the advice. That makes a lot of sense. Do you have any comments on the radio, rom, kernels I've selected above? Particularly the radio. I was told the latest OTA radio works well, but is that the one also knows as MR2?

Thanks,

-Rob
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Yes the MR2 radio will work with that ROM as well as any leaked radio that is newer than the MR2. What radio works best is kinda subjective and seems to vary from person to person. I don't know if the kernel you linked is compatible you would need to ask in the Synergy thread. Honestly as far as the kernel goes I would just use the one built into synergy. I hear its quite good and has a great set of features.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
I've used SynergyROM and it is an awesome ROM. It comes with Ziggy's kernel, which is an awesome kernel. The OTA Radio basebands are 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r

I hope you find a ROM/kernel/radio combo that works for you!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRob44:
That's exactly the info I needed. I'll just stick with the built-in kernel and the MR2 radio. Thanks for all the help, guys.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_Raven:
Hello,

I got a problem which I believe can someone with more experience help me with. My topaz got dropped on floor from arround 1 meter height and possibly on the display side. I didn't pay attention but when I looked on it after some time, I noticed black dots over almost half of screen. I posted image to this. It has irregular shape so I believe it's some liquid thing and not necessarily hardware fault. As my warranty ended 4 days ago, I don't think about sending it for repair. I thought about disassembling it and clearing the display from this stuff, but first I'd like to hear your opinion on this. If everything goes bad I believe new displays can be bought (although they're quite costy, so I'd prefer fixing it.) The display is fully functional other than that stuff on it, also digitalizer isn't broken and I receive right input all over that place. Colors inside that shape has a very light blue color tone when displaying white.

Dunno why, image doesn't display so here are plain links:

This means that the stock ROM is the best for battery life? What about Exinos Extreme that brags being the best at this chapter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
What he means is, if you have to ask which Rom is best for battery, then you obviously can't be bothered to search the forum and read the many threads on this same subject. Therefore stick to Stock Rom and you will not have to worry about it.

Battery performance is subjective and each individual will have different results. Why don't you do what most of us have done and root, then try the different Roms to find the one that suits your needs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
... do what most of us have done and root, then try the different Roms to find the one that suits your needs.

Very good point. Sometimes is better to point out the obvious.

I established a goal for my self: make my SGS2 battery last for at least 48 hours, under moderate usage for this period (30-50 min phone calls, read emails, browse internet for about 60 minutes, gtalk connected, WifI connected most of the time and 2G in the rest).

Will keep trying and share the results.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnowledgeBroker:
Edit: with over 600 views, it is sad we only have 20 votes! Vote and let others see who is using what, and what the demand is!

____

Development for the vibrant right now seems to be directed by the devs, but in the real world supply and demand is an important concept. Are devs focusing on the builds that are in most demand, or are users using what the devs are building because it is all that is being worked on?

I have a feeling that a comparable amount of people use some sort of custom Froyo and are not willing to go to gingerbread as there are who are continuously using gingerbread. If this is the case then perhaps the devs can use that feedback in some way. In any case it should give us an idea of the current condition of supply and demand.

The idea here is to give feedback to devs that show them that their work is being appreciated, or what they could do that may be the most appreciated. The poll is basic, posts are welcome if they contain useful feedback.

Sorry if this seems erroneous, but even if one developer(or fellow user) finds this to be remotely useful/interesting then it is worthwhile.

I myself am going to use froyo based roms until gingerbread roms are more overall stable and functional, however I almost feel forced to use gingerbread roms since they are primarily what is still being maintained or upgraded. I want the newest features, functions, and tweaks, and since froyo seems to have been nearly forgotten I am not sure what to do. Ultimately this makes me want a new phone that doesn't have this issue.

Thats all there is AOSP wise...not sure what your trying to imply ;) or your saying TW GB ROM's don't work that well for you...Malice ran great for me, but I'm back in school and need my batter :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnowledgeBroker:
I'm in college, so over the summer when I didn't have much going on and a charger was always nearby, trying different ginger-roms was fine. Now that I am on campus for extended periods without a charger, I cannot use a rom that will kill more than half my battery in 6-8 hours. If everything worked right, maybe.. but considering an entire summer not being able to get something as simple as GPS working, I would not trade it MUCH improved battery life for less than normal functionality.

I was considering getting a hercules(intl version has many hardware improvements and superior battery with gingerbread), but since it will probably have similar problems(manufacturer wise, no source, mostly forgotten after launch) as the vibrant I would rather go with the prime. But if the prime doesn't go t-mobile than that isn't an option. Which leaves me with hoping that the gingerbread source comes out(for devs to work with), or the devs will make leaps with the ginger code, or that at least a few might work on froyo code..

With so many tweaks and custom apps(like hacked camera) that have come out since most froyo roms fell into neglect, I really want one or the other. If the prime comes out and I can get a tmo version, great.. otherwise I just feel screwed/forgotten.

I feel like the only updated froyo roms are being worked on by devs that don't really have it going on yet, and they only use froyo as a stepping stone.. I wish there were a thread in development section that explained to ALL devs what needs to go into every rom as a minimum(or what tweaks work with which roms, etc).

I won't switch off tmobile, I don't like them as a company, but no other is ACTUALLY better, but they all charge far more. Every situation seems lose/lose the more I think about it.

I've given up on Vibrant.

But I just want a phone that works, and Vibrant has been my 3rd Android phone with problems, constant freezing, and other random issues. Vibrant was probably my worst tech purchase ever. Can't wait to get rid of this crap.

I want the Nexus Prime, but the problem is that it is manufactured by Samsung, and I swore to myself I wouldn't purchase another Samsung product. Then again it's guaranteed to get Google updates. Ahhhh I don't know.

I'm also ditching T-Mobile most likely. I have a feeling they have a hand in Samsung never releasing/leaking Gingerbread on Vibrant.
