Love mine, though I have very poor GPS performance and so-so battery life when I first got it in the April timeframe. Since then, the various ROMs have improved it to the point that I don't even care what's coming out now. I'm running BAMF SoaB 1.03 with the latest radio and it's great.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
Soab is an awesome Rom. It's what inspired me to port stock runnymede.

[Thunderbolt General] hogasswild:
I came from a Droid X and can say that the Thunderbolt is a better phone. I have a few annoyances with it but mainly how it works or doesn't work with Ford Sync. The battery is depressing but I don't want the bulky extended battery. I have Juice Defender on it now and that has helped immensely through the day. I had 54% left on my battery after 8 hours at work with light usage. Before that I was at below 30% after 4 hours. I may still get an extended battery just for when I travel, but this works for me around town.
[Thunderbolt General] davwman:
where would I find soab? Looked everywhere
[Thunderbolt General] brownsfan:
Google it. You need to go on a BAMF forum. I dont think they post here.
[Thunderbolt General] davwman:
oh, thats what I tried. Ill google it again
[Thunderbolt General] davwman:
in short, what setup would provide best battery life based off experience amongst thunderbolt users?
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
Start with the SOAB with the stock kernel, so that you have a baseline then you can try Adr's test 3 or Imo's kernel to see if they make much a difference or not.

I don't think you will get a definitive answer without trying each out on your own phone and objectively seeing which one works best for you and your particular phone.

Good luck.
[Thunderbolt General] davwman:
I agree. Ive been around android for three years and what works best for me does not for everyone else. I was looking for an experienced based answer. The bolt I bought already has soab on it.
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
Gotcha. I'm using SOAB with Adr's test 3 kernel. Works great for me because I can overclock now, but battery life is about the same as it was with the stock package SOAB kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] clintb:
I've been getting great battery life on SoaB, starting with 1.02 and now on 1.03 since it was released and the kernel that comes with it. Prior to that I was using Eaton GTP, the Froyo build, and it gets phenomenal battery life. Can't wait for them to get their Gingerbread build with Sense 3.5.
[Thunderbolt General] adstro:
They post all of their stuff on teambamf.net, and also tend to post on RootzWiki.
[Thunderbolt General] kidhudi:
if you want insane battery life on soab flash the ziggy kernel beta one and set cpu low to the lowest setting andturn off gps and wifi and mobile antennas when not using them. i was getting 2% drop per hour this way. i went from 8 am to 8:30 pm with no charging and still had 72% battery life left also i overclocked to 1.2.

right now i am on miui wich is sick once they fix the mms it will be amazing. but i am using advanced task killer set to automatically kill apps when the screen turns off and green battery to do the same with the wifi and mobile anteannas.

Hallo. Wallpaper dont displays in wallpaper lists ;( even when I moved it to internal storage.

[Android Apps and Games] alanlonlon:
Really beautiful live wallpaper, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] pandik:
Heh. By this template I can create themes for RLW app ;) thats the answer ;)

Pandik.
[Android Apps and Games] pandik:
Develop

Hallo. I created some RLW templates for "Pro" version of Your livewallpaper and have some sugestions how to inprove Your product:

1- insert possibility to set default number of circles and rotation speed by edit theme_settings.xml

its rly important coz will help to create more interesing themes (with static objects) and final user (with pro version) will get full product without any enterings in settings and manage circle rotations. Belive me, ppl dont wanna to manage to much, if I show them movie with my RLW theme they wanna to get same effect just by instal theme, nothing more.

2- i think that png transparency isnt supported for 100% coz all gradients or objects with alpha chanell are displayed as plain grey, with transparency but with no defined color.

Look for answer from You mate.

cheers

Hi, first I want to say thank you, I really enjoyed your video. I just purchased an eee Pad tranformer and updated the firmwa re. I am still experiencing problems with viewing embedded videos on Facebook. I read about issues with flash and to fix the speed, but havenot tried this since I haven't tested all video functionality. Also not sure if I'm using the stock browser.

I couldn't search the threads as I'm experiencing some intermittent issues with keypad :mad:

Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
The stock browser is called "Browser"; how Facebook does videos in app or on website, I have no clue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberkat310:
since you have an eee Pad can you view videos in Facebook?

I really like Oxygen Rom 2.3.1 and NSCollab 1.0.50 for my Nexus S..!!What i really miss in Oxygen Rom are the CyanogenMod Settings.

Wondering if there is a way to integrate them on the Oxygen Rom..?!What files i have to grab beside CMParts.apk??!!

Thanks in advanced!!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Carne_Asada_Fries:
Only way I know of is requesting them on Adam's forum but I doubt you'll get far as oxygen is a minimalist ROM. I would be using it but they removed the theme Chooser feature awhile back which was one of my favorite features.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Cybergr:
Can u provide me Adam's forum link please!?

If someone else has an idea I will be more than happy on testing it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeshoutslive:
Hey guys!

I got an iPad 2 because of someone's success, so it's kinda emotional - long story short, I can't sell it, so I want to use it in an efficient way.

- the question: is there an app that turns my Galaxy S II into a touchpad/mouse that doesn't require software on the client's side - or is there any app that pairs my phone with my iPad in this way?

Thanks!

You might be able to pair a bluetooth mouse to the ipad and hope it works like a cursor(it works on the sgs2 i believe) but no way is there anything that will allow you to use the touchscreen on the sgs2 as a mouse for the ipad.

Sorry, I had my add post window up before your post showed up for me, so I did not see your added criteria, and you didn't have this criteria in your original post.

Also, through a quick search of the market and google, I couldn't find ANY that don't have to install some kind of server software on the pc you are attempting to control.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpth:
I stumbled upon this when going through the update-script for the updates and found these lines of code

ifelse(motorola.omapdevtype() == "HS", ui_print("updating HS mbmloader..."));

ifelse(motorola.omapdevtype() == "HS", assert(package_extract_file("mbmloader_hs.bin", "/tmp/mbmloader.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/mbmloader.img", "mbmloader"),

delete("/tmp/mbmloader.img")));

ifelse(motorola.omapdevtype() == "NS", ui_print("updating NS mbmloader..."));

ifelse(motorola.omapdevtype() == "NS", assert(package_extract_file("mbmloader_ns.bin", "/tmp/mbmloader.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/mbmloader.img", "mbmloader"),

delete("/tmp/mbmloader.img")));

it looks like there are two options NS and HS thoughts?
[Captivate General] sunfirex:
Hey everyone, I'm quite the lurker on these forums and don't post very often at all. I just want to first and foremost say that everyone here has been amazing and the work that has gone on for this phone is truly astonishing.

Now, with that being said... I'm bricked.

I was running CM7 today and decided (don't ask why) to try that ICS for the i9003. Dumb move. Hopefully someone is getting a laugh out of this as well.

I expected the results to be bad, but not disastrous. In the process of trying to do this I bricked the phone. When I had the ICS ROM on it, it got stuck on the AT&T screen. No worries, I made a back up this morning... I figured just pop back into recovery and restore myself back to normal and everything's fine.

Well, here's where it gets bad. I cannot get into recovery. After multiple attempts of trying to get into recovery. ADB nor Odin even see my phone in download mode. I do have a USB JTAG jig, which has saved me quite a few times.

I started downloading stock ROM's like crazy today. The only one that I could get to install was stock 2.3.5 with Boog's kernel with CWM. I booted into the OS and all seemed well at the time... except there's no modem! I have no internet, service, or anything. This is the only time ADB can see my phone, is when it's booted up. As soon as it's in download mode, ADB can no longer see my phone. The same with ODIN.

ODIN sees my phone when it's booted up, but doesn't actually make the handshake for an install of another version. I've tried to root it, in hopes of being able to push ROM Manager, Super User, and restore my back up in CWM. This didn't work either. During the rooting, using a one-click, it hangs up trying to run the psneuter exploit.

If I'm booted into this 2.3.5 stock of android with no modem, I tried to reboot into recovery using ADB running reboot recovery. This just boots the phone back into Android as if there's no recovery on the device at all.

Soon as I'm back in download mode I cannot push any files with ODIN or ADB. Neither one of them see my device at this point. Even using the JTAG jig.

This is where I'm now at. I'm not sure what else to try at this point. Is there a reason that my device is no longer being recognized in ADB when in download mode?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying to scour forums and search engines with no luck so far. This is my only phone, so it's a little depressing to be without any means of communication on the go, but that's the chance you take...right?

p.s. I do have all the Samsung USB drivers as I normally push files with ADB and have just done so earlier this week. Had the same luck on my computer at work today. So, I know it's not a PC related issue.

Thank you to everyone in advance.
[Captivate General] sunfirex:
I've also tried to push a modem to the phone with no luck.

I installed 2.3.5 with the Executable JAR of Heimdall AndroidOS 2.3.5 to push the files and that JAR version is the only device that will install to my phone and makes the handshake. Just no modem :(
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
You may want to give Heimdall a try - it installs its own USB drivers, so it's possible it might be able to see your phone that way. Nevermind - just saw your post. Which Heimdall did you grab?

Also try switching USB ports - sometimes a different port makes a difference.

There's a one-click in my signature if you need it.
[Captivate General] sunfirex:
I believe it was the one in your signature to be honest. Which is the only one that recognizes my phone in download mode.

I get it to boot to Android, but that's where I'm stuck. Can't get into CWM from that stock ROM. I'm assuming it would have to be rooted to even use CWM, and I was unable to one-click root it.

edit: Just to be sure I did try the one in your sig. It installs no problem, but ROM manager crashes and the screen distorts right before home screen loads. Once it's loaded it seems OK. Might be a boot loader issue.. but not sure. Once in download moad Odin3 doesn't recognize the device. The one click app does, but not Odin3 v. 1.3 to flash rooted kernel. It just doesn't recognize the device for some reason, but java installer still recognizes it.

I cannot get into CWM as it just crashes. Doesn't reinstall correctly, gets stuck on running privileged commands. Cannot boot into it since it's a privileged command as well. Only version of odin that recognizes my phone is the one in your link and it's a JAR Exe lol. This is the strange part.. no modem. Just got the wifi to work to at least make it to the market place. Still no modem, broadband is 'unknown'.

When I go back into download mode to flash a kernel in Odin v1.3 it doesn't recognize my device. ADB does not recognize my device. The java installer for the stock rom I just used in your sig still recognizes the device. Only the java installer recognizes it. Tried using Heimdall 1.1 for the kernel flash and it also does not recognize my phone.
[Captivate General] sunfirex:
I do have an HP TouchPad running CM7 alpha 2.1 as well. Not sure if this will help, unless someone can think of something clever by having an extra Android device. Just throwing it out there.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
As far as I know, that should have CWM installed in the file. Depending on which bootloaders you have, either holding V+ and Power from a powered-off state, or V+/V-/Power should put you straight into CWM.

If that isn't working for you, but you're at least on a Gingerbread rom, try this. It appears Heimdall is ok with your phone, and this kernel I'm certain has CWM baked in. You might bootloop, but you should definitely get to CWM from this.
[Captivate General] sunfirex:
That's exactly what it was. That version of Heimdall in the link you provided solved my issue.

Thank you so much!
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Glad to hear it.

I guess you mistaken it. Its the calendar app which supports pinch zoom! :cool:

There's no pinch to zoom in the e-mail app or in the Gmail app.

Edit - sorry, my bad, there is pinch to zoom in the e-mail app, but not in gmail
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
that totoally sucks, i really don't understand why they still haven't implimented that yet.

Yeah thats what I remembered as well, why would they give pinch zoom to the calendar but not the email........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
AFAIK the nexus S port from the sdk has pinch zoom in the email app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
I've also seen a video showing pinch zooming in the Email app, not sure about gmail though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
It maybe something they are still implementing as it appears to have turned up in the sdk but not onto the phone firmware yet.

Do you have a link to the vid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
You sure about that mate? :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlexDmi:
Hm, sorry, double checked now, there is pinch zoom in the e-mail app, but not in Gmail
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] venki5star:
Really? :rolleyes: It is LTE version or GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
Heh crisis averted.

Is it poss you could make a video of the pinch to zoom working on the email app? this comes up on countless forums and it would be great to be able to show off some proof that it does work

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
Is there some way for us to give google feedback or do a feature request for pinch to zoom in gmail app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Seems to me that this is exactly like the email app on the s2 then :)

@ranphi - yea, but now we can slide through the messages :))) In a future update maybe we'll also have pinch to zoom in Gmail :)

if you really could make a short video showing that working it would be really appreciated!

This is now really swaying me back into getting a galaxy nexus!

[Epic 4G General] abhaxus:
Some people need to calm down. If you are having texting problems, do a profile update. Try a different messaging app. If that fails, wipe and go back to stock. No reason to get yourself in a tizzy.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Exactly. And as I understand it, the AirRave only compensates for data, not the voice signal, which is what basic texts use to transmit.

You could have your phone glued direcly to the AirRave, which could be connected directly to a T3 trunk line, but if you have no Sprint coverage, you still won't be able to make a phone call or send a basic text. (YouTube streaming would be pretty amazing, though...)
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I think the latest Airave does both.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I could be wrong, then - haven't had to look it up because I've been lucky enough not to need one... it's somewhat of a bull**** deal, pay Sprint extra (even if it's next to nothing, one cent is too much) to use your own (paid) internet connection through [insert ISP name here, will NOT be Sprint] to compensate for Sprint's lack of service...

Sprint: "We're sorry for letting you down... but if you pay us a nominal fee, we'll be nice enough to allow some other company to make up for it (You'll have to pay said company full price, of course)"
