newt has already stated that an alpha will be posted for everyone to try later today. he will be looking for new/more testers for his next build, if he wants you to test, i'm sure he'll contact you. be patient.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] unctucker:
Thank you
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Newt:
Sorry guys had to do a lot of errands today so I'm trying to finish up now... Worst case ill upload a build before bed

Awesome thx 4 all ur work
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sorullo_xgrx:
I smell sense 4 :cool: I know newts is as anxious as I'm to post his work, lol .. :o
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gammaxgoblin:
Did you try teaching out to team bamf to see if they have it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] androidsupra:
they have it, but they were throwing threats around about posting mirrors to the leak the first day, good luck getting anything out of them
[Thunderbolt Android Development] animez:
I think after the fiasco that the posting of the leak was, Bamf needs to reel in the butthurt about mirrors.

Sent from my Liquid ICS TBolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trter10:
I have like 3 mirrors if needed lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmyco2008:
On one hand, they gave us ICS and we repaid them by going against their only wish.... on the other hand, who cares? I dunno..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jlewis894:
They Def didn't give us ics, liquid and jester had it out almost 2 weeks before the leak with working data
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmyco2008:
Well the leak made things easier, I'm sure Jester appreciates not having to tweak his ROM for another month before getting it perfect.

Of course one has to wonder how they of all got the leak before anyone else...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
All bamf did was supply us with a test build rom from April. There was no RUU. Liquid and jester cracked the RIL on their own. We're still waiting for the official sources from HTC .And besides, if we did have the sources & RIL already, it would be sense only. AOSP RIL's are completely different. Damn that took long to type, damn keyboard isn't broke in yet lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmyco2008:
Haha roger that. So they wait until devs crack the hard-ass of an RIL before releasing a leak from...April, really? wtf?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nimbus79:
not to mention that had to be the worst BAMF rom ever.. buggy as hell, unstable. Seriously I think they just wanted to say they were first to get it haven't seen anything since. If you had an april leak you had time to do it right all I'm sayin..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I remember someone posted it may have actually been sense 3.5 because when they were digging through it they noticed instances where it should have been listed as 3.6 but it was showing 3.5.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] osuron07:
Has anyone considered HTC might have made them wait to release it? Didn't another htc leak for another phone hit that same day (so I've heard)? And bamf never said they tweaked it up, they stated all it was a rooted leak.. Give them a break, we don't know the whole story behind it..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Yea another leak landed for the dinc2 on the same day. Surprise surprise huh. Just happened that bamf got it too. How lucky is that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Newt:
HTC has been working on ics for you guys and the inc2 since March... People have had the leaks but couldn't post them because of risks to their sources losing their jobs... HTC hard codes in who they send what to and can easily bust the ruu leaker and remove them from their beta testers... So yea its a waiting game. You guys should get an official build soon since vzw released the Inc 4G
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fooshack:
download link

what happened to the download link for this rom?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] osuron07:
Well, they are well known as a team who focuses on mainly sense and I would not be entirely surprised if HTC dumped a few leaks on them and then when they realized they wouldn't make their deadline, have them leak it.. I'm just saying we don't know the story, and it's slowly getting us off topic and I'm more excited about this sense 4 rom than anything at the moment lol, so lets switch back to that.

Edit: Apparently newtoroot responded while I was writing this, so please ignore.

I didn't even try front camera, but back camera didn't work so guess back one wouldn't either, but I should have still tried.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gammaxgoblin:
Bamf said they removed HTC spyware. Did it take them months to do that ? If not why wouldn't they do it and release as that should protect the identity of the source?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Its strange, video works but cam only sometimes

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dapbmonkey4u:
I had fc each time camcorder was initiated and camera would take picture and thumbnail of pic was fine but full size pic was distorted. Each and every time for me. I don't know what the issue was.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nimbus79:
see that's all I needed to read and it answered most of my questions about the leak Thank you newtoroot. Now if the bamf team had included that in their OP it would have squashed a lot of the buzz surrounding how they got it, why they didn't release the RUU and why they didn't bamf it up. Still the no mirrors thing was an error... they had to have known people have been waiting for this and their server was gonna melt when it dropped.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Newt:
Camera is fixed now ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] androidsupra:
I can hardly wait, thanks for all you're hard work newt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Slack3r:
Anyone have any comments on whether or not the data drops are still present? That's the one thing that's driving me crazy with the current leak.

And thanks for all your hard work newt, I can't wait to flash :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jumpman1229:
Thank you very much for all your sweat, blood and tears put into this newt. I really appreciate it. This rom looks amazing! Can't wait to get a taste of Sense 4.0
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dapbmonkey4u:
Yes there were data drops for me, but there are data drops for me where I was this weekend on every rom. So I am actually going to load up the rom with .09 radio now and see if I have any drops. Where I am now is MUCH better coverage. I had data drops with the JMOD liquid that was released today, but oddly enough not the unmodded Liquid AOSP in the exact same location without moving between flashing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] neutronjeff:
Kernel question

So, will this NOT be using the same kernel that the leak ROM uses? I have heard many comments about the poor battery life being a function of not being able to tweak performance settings and that won't happen without having the kernel code.

I'm just wondering if this is a different situation since you clearly have a history of cross-platform development, and trying to learn here.

Thanks,
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xs11e:
Team BAMF probably figured that most (if not all) T'Bolt users had followed the ICS information for months and knew that the first testers were bound with an NDA that was very much unbreakable.

They figured wrong, I'm amazed at how many people didn't even know there was a "soak test" with an iron clad NDA???? When mentioned in various forums people responded with "That's just a rumor!"

I can only figure that T'bolt owners are unfamiliar with Google or Yahoo or any other search engine? It wasn't hidden, folks....

I was slow myself, if I'd been more diligent in my use of Google I'd have been in on the soak test instead of finding the information about an hour after they'd closed the test to new participants :crying:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmyco2008:
Would a sign up for the soak test be on HTC's site or something like that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nimbus79:
count me in on the "out of the loop" part on the soak test usually there is some grumblings of a soak test or one of the tech sites leak it. all the screens we saw all had a release date none of them showed a soak test date or time period so Kudos to htc for containing the leaks. Damn shame though the leaks are what give users hope they haven't been left out like the desire HD folks were.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xs11e:
I don't recall where it was, I used to open Google each morning and enter "ICS for Thunderbolt" and let it search. I found the info on one of the tech sites I don't usually follow with a form linked to ???? (probably HTC's site?) and a nice note that said "You're too late, SUCKER!" or words to that effect.

I seem to recall the number of testers was 500 and they sent you a T'bolt with the software they wanted tested, you weren't allowed to flash your own phone.

Google still finds the remains of it: http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage...underbolt-Coming-Soon-Soak-Test-Begins-2.jpg/

NOTE: This is NOT the site I found some months back, it appears to be gone???
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmyco2008:
huh, interesting... I've heard of Softpedia, but they don't have a source cited so....Too bad this didn't make it out to XDA via a thread and a link, really, I would have liked to not have all those "do you think we're getting ICS?" threads all over the place...Rootzwiki too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dapbmonkey4u:
Ok, well it doesn't matter to me about the .09 radio with data drop or not. Each time I try to turn on Bluetooth I get a reboot. I will still try the .09 radio when new version is released but I will not use it on this one. In case anyone was curious about an alpha rom that only a few people have...hmm maybe no one cares. :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmyco2008:
.09 causes a reboot when you try to enable Bluetooth.... I thought everyone knew?

Hit up (drum roll) Mecha Centre for an ICS radio, like a legit ICS radio (7.00.000 RUU).... Well, even .19 will solve your problem, that or the ICS/GB combo radio which also seems to fix random reboots on ICS ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dapbmonkey4u:
Nope, I must have missed that when reading through. :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Newt:
Well guys my first upload failed... For some reason my ftp disconnected and completely restarted when it was at 72%... So I'm going to let it upload overnight and ill post first thing in the morning... So no need to wear out f5... Check in the morn about 10am eastern... Sorry I planned for tonight but my net sucks lol. See you guys in the morning

Excited to try out this rom. Giving aosp a try right now and while it is snappy I miss my sense already.

Btw didn't you develop for the a500 at one point. Your name seems familiar for some reason.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Newt:
rom is up boys enjoy it is an alpha build still... so i need feedback on whats working and not.... try diff things to see if you can get wifi to work.... i know for a fact bluetooth works with the combo radio... have fun guys ill check in soon

I've got about 90 MB left !!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] osuron07:
+1. The thread here doesn't mention it, but the mikmik one does, should we flash it right after the rom or let it boot first? Thanks again man! I know what I'm doing after work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JagXK8:
Lucky dogs! I killed my current download and started again on another pc. Now got 16min left.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
No matter what I try I wipe everything, flash the Rom and reboot. I get rebooted right back into recovery. Is it because I'm using ext4?

EDIT: Had a bad flash. It works now
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rawkerdude:
I hope not, I just switch to ext4 last night... haven't flashed this yet... waiting for lunch break.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EchoX860:
Nope, it was a bad flash.

NOTE: Takes a little longer to boot up on first boot, especially if you're coming from Eternity
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JagXK8:
Will flash in a few, copying data from SD card. Not sure about that will wipe everything so just in case.

I see why you like the keyboard...so much better than anyother sense I've tried. Can't get over how responsive the UI is :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] osuron07:
Didn't see this until after I flashed the camera patch right after flashing the rom (no issues btw though), but for future releases I'll wait until after. Thanks for your reply! To early to comment, but I'll differently report back later.

Dammit. I have only played with aosp for a couple days now and you go and make this rom a dd, I'm going to play with aosp for a few days than I'm coming back to sense. Thanks the your contribution man, the more devs we have will keep me from upgrading to a new device and I'll hold off till I can buy one out right at retail now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DanFunky:
Great ROM newt, and thanks for putting the junk apps in data otherwise I'd be freezing stuff to no end.

Still loading what I can over 4G, but everything looks great so far. No WiFi kills tons on Amazon's app store.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] arizonaomnia:
I love it so much, but I have to revert to something else until WiFi and other issues get resolved. I had trouble downloading anything from the Play Store. It makes restoring from Titanium Backup nearly impossible if I can't have Titanium Backup and the purchase key for it. :) I know I can save an apk of TiB while running another rom, install it on this rom, restore the purchase key first, reboot, and then restore the rest, but since I work in a building that kills the cell signal and requires WiFi to get data in half of the building, I think I'm going to have to wait.

Tell you what, though...the moment you get wifi working, I'm SO down with this. I do like Sense, and THIS Sense is the best version so far. This may be the last ROM I flash if you get THAT working.

It's ALMOST done! Couple minutes left.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thunderbolt33:
just wanted to state some problems that I've run into so far while using this ROM.

After flashing the cam patch when i try to use the back camcorder it still doesn't work.

My applications on the dock do not show up on the lock screen, in the mik tweaks i checked the one that removes the arrows from the keyboard and nothing happens also on my lock screen in the status bar does not show the time or am/pm, so far that's all I've experienced while using this ROM.

If anyone has run into any of these problems that they've fixed and would like to tell me how that would be a load of help!

Also can someone tell me which radio is best to use? .09, .19 or the ICS/GB combo radio? Links would be appreciated :)

Thanks for all your hard work Newt!

Edit: On the Matte skin when pressing the unlock button on the phone the status bar bugs out and is really black at first then changes to transparent.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Guess its a known bug then, thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Newt:
No its a bug and its because we don't have the new firmware from the leak... Flashing ics over ginger firmware and other stuff causes problems like sdcard and WiFi
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Still an Awesome rom though Newt, thanks again :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dapbmonkey4u:
No boot sounds, stealth flash. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DanFunky:
Three issues:

Setting | Dock mode will cause a reboot either immediately or within a couple of seconds.

Call answer seems hit and miss when using the "answer" button, sometimes is goes immediately to VM (faster than other ROMs).

I've had pinch to zoom get "stuck" a couple of times. The only way to fix it was to reboot.

Great ROM so far. I tossed $10 your way to keep up the great work!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] DanFunky:
Agree with the others, GPS never gets a lock.

Add Hot reboot hangs on the red droid screen (waited 15 minutes and pulled the battery)

And you all need to check "Never auto turn on Wi-Fi" under the advance Wi-Fi settings until it gets fixed as everything seems to try to turn it on (FourSquare, Facebook, Play, Amazon, Mail, etc) and it will drain your battery.
