Always been a fan of as close to stock as possible. Strayed off experimenting with highly customized OpenMobile ROMs and found too many issues introduced as a result of too many customizations and, more importantly, loss of stability. This release so far only has a few minor quirks but is worth it for the newer Android GB release, additional features/integration and working HotSpot:

- Asks to set time zone whenever it switches between LTE/eHRPD/EVDO.

- Slower market download but otherwise wired and wireless tethering speeds are fine.

- Some apps like Adobe Flash, Google Books, etc. can't be updated without manual intervention. Had to delete old versions, download from market, move from /data/app to /system/app, reboot and clear dalvik-cache.

did anyone try out the new radios that originally had 4g, do you still have 4g? i tried but seem to have lost 4g. Gonna try airplane mode a reboot and other stuff see if i get it back.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asilentcivilian:
i have 4g but according to 5 different speed test servers, I'm not even getting 2megs down
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Wow! Just saw this, its gewat to hear, im downloading now. Thanks to all who put this together.

I am setting up a torrent if anyone is interested in helping me seed. I just download the file from FACTORYROM and zipped it. If we can get enough folks to seed, this thing will fly. I can upload about 200KB/s.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] B3L13V3:
same here i usually pull between 18 to 20 Mbps down now i'm lucky if i get 3...wtf, going back to mr3.5 see how that goes, hopefully others get better results.

This thing is just smokin fast! Downloaded ftom op really fast also. I havent changed radio or kernel, but everything works and it smokes! Thanks dudes!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Also, with the previous latest radio, i just tested at 12 meg dl, 7 up. Im cool witg that!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Got it going. Tomato firmware didn't play nice. Back to DD-WRT
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MyComputerDoctor:
I am hearing a TON of conflicting stories which tells me that most likely this is not a problem and the issues you guys are having is a coincidence. Just doesn't make sense that 2/3 the people say they have better performance and 1/3 say they have horrible performance. If the radios were bad, everyone would have negative results. I guess only time will tell.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tburns:
Its legit. New ruu with 2.3.6. Was leaked yesterday and tested and tried by a brave few :) not sure about performance wise.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
I didnt flash the radios. I have tried to flash other kernels, none work. Does it have a newer kernel also? Its running fantastic with great lte speeds.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
The kernel is dated in December
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Yeah,i saw the date. Cant figure why others wouldny flash. This thing is wicked fast though, even stock speeds. Better than any othr rom ive flashed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:
You just made me flash this!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Something weird. My none HTC widgets flicker. They flicker when I go through the desktop screens
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Vince556:
One real quick noob question:

Does it matter if the md5 sum is lower case or not? I just checked and I received a no match but it does. The only thing is in the first post all of the letters are capitalized and in md5 hash they are all lower case. I think I already know the answer but wanted to double check.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:
It's fast alright , but needs mods up de ass lol. I also think everything is to zoomed in. You can tell in the lockscreen
[Thunderbolt Android Development] buffnutz1:
Downloaded the ROM and it's awesome. But for some reason when I restart it and hold vol down and power, it won't do anything to update the radios. Anyone else having this problem or know a fix?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:
You have to turn off fastbot in your settings. Or take off the battery put it back in and retry
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Great job..seems smooth

Can't wait till its cleaned up some..ie no GPS icon,recent apps etc.

One thing I notice after reboot is it says time zone is not set...but it is...anyone else notice that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Same problem for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] espnaholik:
This is by far the smoothest sense ROM available. While it's cool to have miui or ics it's always nice to have one that is bug free and lightning fast. Easily my new daily driver.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RomsWell:
Ditto. Though we need a batt % mod
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
And the evdo icon as opposed to 3G...is that because it came from another carrier?... Just wierd to look at ..not sure what it does for 4G yet
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
If you go to market, you would see HTC apps not Verizon apps section .in addition, my Verizon app doesn't work. Overall nice Rom
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asilentcivilian:
4g shows as LTE
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lawnguy:
Thanks good sirs!!! This is very cool, does this mean there will be another ota? Or have we seen EOL for the thunderbolt? BTW the radios have flashed great in OKC I've gained about 6 megs dl.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] zx12dak:
Just got this ROM up and running. Works great but I cannot send a pic mail. I did not flash the radios. Anyone else have this problem??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
I flashed the radios but could only get 1X at home. Usually get somewhat of a good 3G signal here but no luck with the new radio's. Not sure if its a coincidence and VZ is having sort of an issue but I flashed back to the prior leaked radio, and 1x was up for a bit and then it switched to evdo...ran some sped tests and the results were crap with either radio, so maybe VZ is having an issue. Again its sometimes hit or miss with my 3G here at home. I will be in a 4G area tomorrow will run some tests then and see what happens.

should be in a stronger 3G area as well so I will check that out too.

I do love how smooth this ROM is and how smooth the Sense 3.0 feels, excited by the possibilities to come out of this leak!

Thanks!

Thanks for trying it. Guess MMS is broke.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nhawk:
Tried the new radios with the new ROM. ROM works well so far, but radios used about 2-3x more power in standby vs 930/916 radios from 605.9.

Went back to 930/916 radios and power usage is back down.

Is anyone else seeing the same?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Try using a 3rd party messaging like handcent. It works fine with me
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dragonstalker:
How does the battery compare to the 2.11.605.9 rom? I get 2 days off 2.3.4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Cant send any mms, stock our handcent. Stock kernel, did not flash radios, im using the last radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Are you getting an error when trying to send?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Yeah, ill need to reproduce it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Actually someone pointed out in another forum that it has to do with mms connection. Its not setup to Verizon. I was able to send mms via Verizon messaging app. Its ugly but does the job. Maybe someone can theme that app until they figure out a fix
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cadillac Johnson:
You'll have to give it a few days to really get a good idea for the radios battery usage. They'll take a little time to settle.

On another note, courtesy of Scotty85, it looks like this is the shipping software for a version of the TBolt that is headed to Puerto Rico. Hence the small changes here and there.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
That sounds like a good idea. Where do i get that? Market?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Yea. Just look up Verizon message app. I also noticed with that messaging app you can have mms chats with the iPhone lovers
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
ThNks, found it, said mms srnt, but no response yet. Thats farther than other 2 apps. I kinda like vzw mms.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
I'm sure it works. I sent three pictures and got three other pictures back. Yeah I like vzw app cuz of group message but its ugly. Lol if only someone can theme it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ghamden:
Two Issues

1 keeps asking for correct timezone even though it already correct

2 Gps not even close

everything else looks fine hopefully when Verizon issyes thier update these will have been addresed.

Snappy and the battery life is great. I am surprised
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MyComputerDoctor:

jeez. 2 hours on battery and down to 49% lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
Are you using wifi or full 4G
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:
This has to be an extended battery

Some of both, just to see if there was any wifi issues, but mostly 4g
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:

U can use "my data manager free" to monitor data. My battery has been very good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cal4877:
Well I also did a speed test and I dont get even get 3mb of download however when I use the internet is still pretty fast to me so Im not sure if speedtest app is accurate, also do I have to install both radios or either one, I flash the LTE.zip radio so I'm assuming when I go to a area that I don't get LTE there shouldn't been any problems correct?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dragonsamus:
Flash both radios to have both updated. Flash one and only get one new radio.

How did you manage 11 hours of heavy use and still have 50% left with the stock battery?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:

I have no idea, just phone less than a month old
[Thunderbolt Android Development] subsoniic:
for people with low battery life, have you guys calibrated ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cadillac Johnson:
There was an article from a Google dev who explained how Android uses the batterystats.bin file, and said that the phone does not use that file for battery life, so 'calibrating' by charging to full and wiping stats isn't going to do anything for battery life.

Good read, probably still up at Rootzwiki in the news section.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Stoney 666:
My battery life is kicking ass on this Rom...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
OK. I flashed the new radios and this ROM and tried some speed tests. 3G (EVDO) was horrible, 600k-900k consistantly for DL.

4G (LTE) was DL about 1MB consitantly.

Tried 2 older rados (the one that came out with 2.11.605.3 and 2.11.605.9) and the results were basically the same.

I flashed to a backup ROM and the older radio's and 3G tests are about 3M down.

4G tests at approx. 10-13MB down.

I have not tried the radios from this leak yet with the older ROM, but may try it later out of curiousity

Something is screwey with the speeds the ROM achieves but I gotta say it feels really nice on the phone, very smooth.

Hope it all gets worked out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skinien:
I don't think it's the radios. I'm running CM7. I did 5 speed tests on 3g and 4g before flashing the radios. I flashed the new radios and did 5 more speed tests on 3g and 4g again. The speed of the old/new radios were the same for me. Hopefully, the changes come by way of improved battery life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Any way to get voice recognition working?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] movielover76:
ICS?

I have seriously doubted any upgrade to ICS from HTC, but a rom with Sense 3.0 on it actually makes me wonder if they plan to upgrade this phone to ICS. It sure would be easier to but ICS on the thunderbolt if it had Sense 3.0, that way they wouldn't have to put work into the old Sense 2.1 to update it to ICS.

Of course they could just be providing the Sense 3.0 update as a peace offering to all of the t-bolt users who want ICS but won't get it, figuring an update to Sense 3.0 is better than nothing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SirBindy:
When HTC rolls it out, ICS will have Sense v4.0 from what I've seen/read.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] zx12dak:
The speedtest APP is very inaccurate. You guys need to do them on the browser to be accurate. I like the Comcast one or Speakeasy.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
I think it's the Rom that's giving low speeds. I used this radio on a different Rom and the speeds were high. I only get low speeds on this Rom
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
If I've understood correctly, MMS isn't working with this ROM unless you use the Verizon Messages app (from market).

Has anyone checked the MMSC value after flashing this ROM? (stock HTC messages app.. Menu -> MMS -> Connection Settings...

If it shows something other than http://mms.vtext.com/vervlets/mms then that is why. Would it be possible to use APN Backup & Restore from market to edit this on the TB? or is something like QPST or CDMA workshop needed?

I only mention this because in the old days of feature phones we had to mess with this setting when using Non-VZW roms (like Alltel, Bell, USC) on Moto phones on VZW's network. (there were a few others that were related, but this was a main one)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] slammed:
MMSC shows http:mms.openmobilepr.com:1981
[Thunderbolt Android Development] waywardshinobi:
But how do we change it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trikotret:
You can just use Verizon message app from market to send mms for now until they have a rom update
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Vzw message is working great for me, and im liking it alot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
You could try using something like... APN Backup & Restore to backup your APN settings to SD card, edit the file (change http:mms.openmobilepr.com:1981 to http://mms.vtext.com/vervlets/mms ), and "restore it" to the phone. If that doesn't work, then you might need to use something like QPST or CDMA Workshop to edit it. There could also be other authentication strings that need to be changed, but this would be the first step.

I've attached the backup from my TB running stock 2.11.605.9 (remove the .TXT extension before trying to restore it).

EDIT:

Other option... Try Go SMS. Under Settings -MMS Settings, you can "fill in APN configuration manually" and specifiy MMSC, MMS Proxy and MMS Port. VZW doesn't use a proxy or port in its settings. And this only impacts Go SMS.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
If VZW Apps section is missing, its likely due to the build.prop.

As for the My VZW app and other Verizon specific apps not working, it could be due to the APN settings, or other "behind the scenes" authentication strings used on this "other carrier" vs Verizon. Its just a matter of finding all the ones you need to change...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cal4877:
Went to sleep at two in the morning with my battery fully charged, it's now four in the afternoon and my battery is at 50% with my wifi on all day with moderate use, not bad..... Patienty waiting for next update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wildman:
Didnt noticed that this was posted already...

Just install APN Manager from https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwyLDEsImFsZS5hbmRyb2lkLmFwbm1hbmFnZXIiXQ.. and place the backup file attached and then open APN and restore settings from backup and the MMS will work again...

I dont find the solution but this is my backup settings file, the only other way is to install a working app and backup settings from that rom with APN Manager...

I got a biology exam today and comp class so ill try to work on this but might be late. But I will edit the build.prop and post so that the people that want Verizon apps can have them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] zx12dak:
The Rom would always get mms. It would not send them. I am re trying the Rom now with the Verizon mms app. I froze my stock messaging with titanium back-up. So far so good. As far as LTE speeds it is slow on the speedtest app (2-4) meg down but on the Comcast speed test I am getting 9-11 meg inside work like normal. That speedtest app is pretty much garbage anyways.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wildman:
I think users are to worried about results of Speedtest and Benchmarks, these sites are not always accurate and seem to like some OS more than others... I have seen lower speeds on 4G but I hsve used my device without any data issues... No buffering or Drop Connections and have used Mobile Hotspot on 4 devices without any speed issues.

I noticed that my speeds read higher if I run test from a connected device instead of the phone.. I simply think the issue is how the software and site reads data from the device.

I think there isnt any reason to worry about the connection speeds unless you notice a connection issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Qzic:
This ROM seems to have a problem with its dialing rules. When I dial any numbers from my contacts list with a format of 1-555-123-1234 the call always fails with a network busy error. If I drop the leading 1 for the country code, the call goes through.

Q
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dragonstalker:
Ok so I re-wrote the build.prop to work with the VZW files. Everything "SHOULD" be in working order. I'm at work so can't test all this out.

First thing first. If someone can use a VZW Rom and zip the /system/app "ssopermission.apk" and all the other vzw apps into an update and post.

Files that need to be ported over to new rom from verizon rom:

ssopermission.apk

ssopermission.odex

VerizonSSOEngine.apk

VerizonSSOEngine.odex

vzwapnpermission.apk

vzwapnpermission.odex

VzwLBSPerm.apk

VZWService.apk

VZWService.odex

These files are needed as a update.zip or Op needs to place these files and the new build prop into the ROM. If this does not work, please let me know and we can go from there to figure out what else is wrong.

You can without having the files needed to log onto Verizon apps change you build.prop from the link at the bottom. save to phone. change from build.txt to build.prop, use es file explorer or root explorer to set system to r/w . backup your old build.prop and import the new one.

Changes to the build.prop

changed ro.build.fingerprint=openmobile to verizon_wwe
Changed ro.build.user= to ro.build.user=root

changed vm heapsize to 64m for sense 3.0
Changed wifi scan interval from 90 to 120

added various verizon settings to look for verizon instead of openmobile and htc

changed FOTA settings to default

added :
#Sony Bravia Engine Service
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

# Properties for supporting framework features
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true

added to addition_build_properties
dalvik.vm.lockprof.threshold=500
[Thunderbolt Android Development] josh0426:
The only thing I would like to see added to this Rom is extra quicksettings, especially silent and vibrate. Wake on volume also. Can anyone guide me on how to achieve these?
