Yes.

Linux is terrible. Those F/OSS drivers are trash in many instances.

Windows has a Driver Database that comes with quality generic drivers (they even give hardware accelleration *gasp*) and OEMs can submit their drivers to it. It's why you get ATI, etc. driver updates through Windows Update.

Windows mostly likely will detect your network connection via PNP and it has most of the drivers needed for setup on the DVD. It can download the additional drivers you need from the internet straight from Microsoft's servers.

It's pretty seamless. It's been doing this since XP, but it really got great at it in Vista (after OEMs got around to making them :P ).

A better example is WP7. Microsoft still needed the OEMs to update their drivers but the Mango updates are still going out pretty quickly to the devices. It won't be anything like Eclair, FroYo, and Gingerbread Android version updates.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
This is precisely how Windows was pre-WinXP. Unaccelerated crappy drivers. They were *just good enough* to not want to make you kill yourself, but completely bad enough to motivate you to find the manufacturer drivers.

I certainly agree. But that certainly wasn't overnight. Hell, Windows Update came out with IE4/Win98... And only with Vista/Win7 has it become *almost* unnecessary to go out and find drivers.

Are you not forgetting that WP7 has pretty strict hardware requirements, that essentially make all of the devices nearly identical?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Phone#System_requirements

That's kind of important, when you consider that Microsoft only has to wrangle drivers from Qualcomm, only code for 800x480, and knows that it has dx9-capable hardware acceleration available on every handset. They don't need to worry about "compatibility".

Due to them wanting to wrangle up all of the drivers, they also don't have a release-schedule that's as quick as Android. This is something particularly problematic for WP7 considering they are still very much in the "catch-up" phase of development, while iOS and Android are essentially just refining their OSes now.

Either way, the circumstances for all of these are different, and using scenarios from other distribution and development models and then applying them to Android isn't as easy as we could wish, nor without consequences.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerniganc:
Today I started getting force close errors when I try and open people via the shortcut on my home screen or through the app list. I am running BAMF cubed for a week now with no issues so I don't think that is the problem. I tried restoring to a previous backup, wiped my dalvik cache and normal cache, did a wipe and flashed back to a clean install of BAMF Cubed and my "people" still force close every time I open it. Only thing I have left that I know of is a factory reset and unrooting to see if that fixes it but really don't want to. Process com.android.htccontacts force close is the error I am getting. Anybody have anything else I could try?

I wrote up a little rant about how virgin mobile is better in so many ways. check it out. you will see why you are the smarter ones.

[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
VM != Sprint though. Thus our coverage is limited. That and other companies are starting to roll out somewhat comparable plans, like T-Mobile's $30 plan with unlimited-ish data, which resembles Virgin Mobile USA's unlimited plan too. Not that we're throttled yet, but still.
[Motorola Triumph] shook187:
If one could deal with the slow slow data, then I'll say yes its a good deal. I was a happy Virgin Mobile customer t'ill I discover the world of 4G and I have never looked back. I also save money by not having the need of home ISP (comcast) 4G hotspot is more then one needs to run my laptop and PS3.
[Motorola Triumph] Dan_Brutal:
True that. I miss my tmo service. There 3g is 2x-3x faster then Virgin. Nexus Prime here I come!
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
What exactly is their faster 3G known as then? As I understood ut Virgin Mobile's CDMA Rev. A was the fastest 3G available, without being prematurely labeled as 4G.

Anyway, I doubt where I live in Hicksville WI will be covered with T-Mobile's 4G, whatever it really is.
[Motorola Triumph] shook187:
Not sure what you're insinuating but Virgin Mobile's 3g is a joke compared to any of the 4 post paid wireless carriers. That includes sprints, which runs off the same network but at a lot lower speeds.
[Motorola Triumph] HitchHiker:
For me personally, one of the major reasons that I hate dealing with the major players it that they treat their new customers better than the existing ones. For example I got an email today that I can get the Thunderbolt for $0.01 today on Amazon. But if I am an existing customer, it would be $120 if I am an individual, and if I am part of a family plan $180!!!!!!!!!!! I mean really is that any way to treat loyal customers. At least with a prepaid service I know that I am not getting screwed.
[Motorola Triumph] platypuss94:
just so everyone knows i would like you to know i changed my prl to sprints 00115 i think and i am also running 3g turbo charger and i am getting 1.2~1.5 kbps on speed test. so just an fyi with a little work your phone can be way faster than tmobiles 3 g network. you just have to be willing to spend a few hours working on the phone. =)
[Motorola Triumph] Dan_Brutal:
Way faster? I think not. I was downloading between 6-6.5 mbs, and uploading at 3-3.5 mbs with my 3g vibrant.

[Motorola Triumph] shook187:
I too was a prepaid guy trying to make arguments on how great prepaid was, and how much of a sucker post paid is. Till I started envying all the great phones I was missing out on, and noticing how much slower 3g on Virgin was as to how much better it was on Sprint.
[Motorola Triumph] junks2010:
I don't think Sprint's 3G is faster than virgin mobile's 3G. I think it's the phone that make you feel the speed difference. If you move to Sprint and get a better phone, your web pages will load much faster. I used to have Sprint with the TP2, then switch to VM with the Triumph. I can tell you that web pages load much faster on the Triumph. I also ran speedtest and I got similar results from both.
[Motorola Triumph] Dan_Brutal:
Modems/radios can make the phone download/upload faster, but your still using a sprint 3g connection. Of course your triumph will download faster, the tp2 is much older, and so is the radio inside of it.

[Motorola Triumph] oka1:
The problem with Pre-paid and Virgin and others like Boost is this : If you travel the phone works like a turtle, if you are in a big city where they have coverage then you are ok.

So, in other words, if you do not leave a big city where you live it works just fine, but if you have to travel all over you are ****-outa-luck buddy !

It would be nice that was not the case, but since I have to travel from Hawaii to D.C I know what I am talking about I've experienced it.

So, in some cases Virgin is fine........ in my case......... it does not perform.
[Motorola Triumph] Dan_Brutal:
What up Oka. I hate this phone and service. Its almost "Prime" time, and wll be partying it up with you and the rest of the EDT boys.
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
Lol, makes sense. VM is marketed towards people in big cities, who already have computers and wifi.

This is probably with the hope that the people who buy the phones, just use them on wi-fi and rarely, if ever, touch their mobile data except for calls (which are limited in the plans anyway) or texts (which cost VM essentially nothing). Maybe that's why they decided to put on the bandwidth cap... there are more country bumpkins taking advantage of their coverage between major cities (like I do).

AT$T pulled a total jerk move, and passed up our region entirely. There's no T-Mobile store in the area, although GSM Tracfones used to work.
[Motorola Triumph] junks2010:
That's exactly my point. It's the phone. Not the network. In my case, both connect at the same speed but the Triumph seems much faster.
[Motorola Triumph] HitchHiker:
I am one of those people that rarely touch my data plan because I have wifi everywhere. Also in the areas where I don't have good cell signal, I use GooVeIP to still make and receive calls. I know its not for everyone, but when I look at even getting the Droid Bionic for a penny and then the fact that I would be forking out almost over a $1000 more over the 2 years for less min. I just can't do it.
[Motorola Triumph] dugiteddy:
and that is the reason why throttling and bandwidth caps came into existence.
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
I could live with a bandwidth cap if I freakin' knew where and what it was. I also started ogling the unlocked GSM phones after discovering T-Mobile's plan, although really I feel somewhat "locked-in" now that I've spent $300 on a Triumph.

Locked in like a two-year contract with a company that knows where they can find me? Hardly. But still, a little locked.

I am having an issue with flashing CWM via Odin and keeping it there. I flash CWM via ODIN, I've tried 3 diff versions of CWM , Red One, Voodoo (blue one) and the 3.0.0.8 via rom manager (orange one) each time i flash one, i can boot into after flashing it via ODIN, but when i reboot the phone. CWM is gone and its back to the factory samsung recover "for all devices" nonsense. I have been able to obtain root by flashing via the SU zip method and I have root, i just can't flash a rom b/c cwm wont stick....any ideas? search returns nothing!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Thats because you need a modified kernal for cwm to stick.

Here is the modified stock kernal for a froyo rom. put this in the pda function of odin.

did you odin a cwm recovery after the modified stock kernal?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibsk8:
Make sure your battery is removed when entering download mode to flash cwm via odin.

Once it shows successful, remove the cable.

insert battery and immediately enter cwm using the 3 finger method.

Flash a custom stock kernel.

choose "reboot system now"

let the system boot up.

then boot back to cwm recovery and flash your rom of choice.

Going for this now!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
i was just wondering about MIUI. I hope this works well! :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
You will be shocked !
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
I really like this Rom. Very quick and smooth. Only thing I am having trouble with is getting weather to not be in Chinese and to be ahmedabad to select US places.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
This is a known issue and being worked on for the 1.0 release.

I will probably have another release or two before 1.0, one later today or tonight (version 0.91) will have some updated apps and theming tweaks.

There will also be a release (separate from this one) which will be very similar except it uses a different launcher that has an app drawer for those that prefer that. I am not trying to fully clone MIUI with iBolt or steal the thunder from what is going on with the historical development of the team porting MIUI to the Thunderbolt. iBolt gives the look and feel of MIUI but the goal is to allow it to also have the additonal flexibility of AOSP so wanted features can be implemented. Basically MIUI meets AOSP.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Is the App Store going to be in English akso in future updates?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
I am not sure that is possible or even worth it. Alot of that is controlled beyond the app / ROM level and likely that App Store will have to disappear from the setup. I haven't checked into it in any detail yet so we'll see as we go.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kdmhong:
Works great! Although I think the status bar shouldn't be transparent because when you scroll down the notifications bar, it looks janky.

Other than that.. it's awesome! :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
Yes, you are correct. This will be fixed in the next release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WhiteReign:
Sweet rom you got here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Some minor tweaks I would like to see is:

1. Make the numbers on the Dialer easier to see.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
Just updated OP with an update to V0.91. This is an update flash only, you must flash this over V0.90
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
Went back to standard dialer for now, this will get properly themed before the 1.0 release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
Going to a whole new base for iBolt using Liquid's LGB 3.0

I was going to wait until 1.0 for this change but it will be added to version 0.92 which I'm hoping to get out sometime today or tonight at worse case.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] angasreid:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
Bluetooth seems fine on the new base for the next release...I don't have V0.91 loaded so I cannot test right now. Can anyone else confirm this for kdmhong ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
Guys sorry for the delay on the next release, trying to get a few things straight and added to it. Good changes though, the iBolt Classic I mentioned is actually now combined with this ROM so you will have a choice on which launcher to use (app drawer or no app drawer). You can even switch back and forth between the two. Also, there will be theme packs via the Theme Chooser option. Rather than theme the actual Rom very much and try to tweak to everyone's taste, the base of the Rom will come lightly themed and there will be theme choices available, and themes can be built and used via Theme Chooser. We can then build you various themes based on requests. The options will be wide open this way, and maybe even additional style launchers added in the future, whether it be MIUI or whatever. We're remixing things so iBolt will now become iBolt Remix. I'm running it now and I love having the choices, it's like having multiple ROMs in one.

Camera and Music seem to be working perfect now as well

Not sure if the release will be today, hopefully so but very soon either way. T33ch0 has gotta do his best to try and break it so I know where the issues are :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:

Cm7

OMFGB

Stripped down sense (latest ota 2. 11.605.3)

Other?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kdmhong:
It should be a stripped down sense cause the audio output for a sense ROM is a lot higher.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
OP has been updated with version 0.92

Alot of changes for this one, in reality this could be a V1.0 as issues are minor and cosmetic but I will continue the progression in 0.9x series with enhancements and changes. I will also post some flashable mods to remove transitions and maybe some other mods. Enjoy and please give feedback !

[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Btw, anyone OC this Rom? I had the orig release OCd to 1.8GHz and it was silky smooth and not any lag nor a single reboot. Loaded .92 over and had 3 auto reboots within 10 mins. It may not even be necessary to OC that much but...gotta test the TB's limit.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
No you can't use the HTC one but there is an app on the market that has replacements for most of the HTC sense widgets. Android Pro Widgets or something like that.

It's very good and I recommend it highly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xTFGx:
so any eta for v1.0? I'm not rushing you or complaining, but I am really interested in this rom and I would rather load v1.0 than v.92 and then have v1.0 released shortly after and have to wipe and re setup again. thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] prscott1:
stripped down latest version of sense is my vote! :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
No, no current ETA it depends on how things go with accomplishing the "to do" list and my available time. I have another project ROM in the works as well and am paralleling development on these. The other is MIUI related as well, but that's all I will say on that one for now :)

It will be very unique as well, probably more so.
