Bluetooth is actually working 98% flawlessly between using my Plantronics headset and my JVC truck stereo. The only quirk thus far is that I have to manually pair my phone to my truck stereo when I get in. No big deal since it's just 2 button presses.

I'm on an MR3 dirty flash, from a 4EXT-wiped MR2 fresh install I did 3 days ago. Using 7.00.605.2 LTE and 2.11.605.19 CDMA radios.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CPTBeaker:
What's the best approach to 'upgrade' from MR2 to MR3?

I've got everything setup the way I like it, implementing workarounds for most of the glitches (i.e. using MailDroid instead of Gmail to 'avoid' the white screen issue, using Videocam illusion Pro for video recording, etc.) and have everything installed that I want.

I'm hoping that MR3 will reduce the nagging 3G/4G drops.

Is there a way to flash MR3 'over' MR2 and not have to reinstall all of my apps (either automatically via Play of restoring from a Titanium backup)?

I'm using CM Recovery.

What is lost by wiping only the cache and dalvik? I know that a factory wipe will require me to set everything back up after the flash...I'm hoping to avoid that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
The "best" approach is to do a full wipe (all partitions) and install MR3.

Wiping cache and dalvik loses NOTHING of value. You can safely wipe cache and dalvik EVERY SINGLE TIME your phone restarts. Is it necessary ? Absolutely not !

Kudos and Feedback

I have been running this ROM since functional data was released. VERY GREAT JOB and Thank You. I will be buying you a cup of coffee.

I have not been a fan of AOSP ROMs after using Sense UI, but I dont miss it at all with all of the things in this ROM.

I am about to flash MR3, and I will update the following after.

This is not a complaint list but feed back on a very good ROM:

* I find that I have to in and out Airplane Mode to get signal back. I get 4g in grey but I can not connect. The later corrects every time.

* I only show 2 bars of 4g at any given time no matter what the actual db is.

* Same old BT issue with not connecting until I go to hands free then BT

* It is so damn fast I dont know what to do with all of my spare time

MR3 UPDATE

* Still having to correct the data connection from city to city, but it seems a bit better

* Still only have 2 bars

* Same BT issue

* Still love the ROM

{DO miss WIFI Tether - happy to donate again for the fix! :) }
[Thunderbolt Android Development] craigviar:
Seems to have a slower start up after mr3. Still fast getting to the lock screen but loading in widgets and all else is slower.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wampuscat:
:rolleyes:

U should try apps2zip. It makes a flash able zip of all your apps. Minus data. It works great. I flash a rom, boot up once. Then back to recovery and flash my apps zip amd um done. Just make sure when you make the zip you only include user apps because the app can do system apps to which I wouldn't want. There was only one or 2 apps after wards that I have to restore with titanium to make work.thisway you can wipe data for a clean rom install

Is hardware acceleration not enabled in this build? No video player can play videos with hardware acceleration, every player I've tried plays videos in software mode.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
True, and you have not seen my hands :silly:

Those were 4 different edits. I was running and did not write them properly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I believe it's turned off by default but is available. Look in System Settings, Developer options (I think).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
Turning ON/OFF mobile data has the same effect and is quicker.

I noticed I have that issue only when WiFi is active and the phone is going from WiFi to 4GLTE.

Sometimes (not as many as MR2) it just shows 4G gray bars and no connection. ON/OFF on mobile data solves. Some instances turning WiFi off also restores the 4G connection.

The issue does not happen when going from 4G to WiFi. Switches super fast and smooth.

The aGPS patch.

Thanks for the suggestion. Applied it following your recommendation and the instructions on the thread.

The locks on my TB went from 4/4 (after about 15 seconds) to 6/6 (in about 2 seconds).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lpforte:
MR3 Bricked my phone. Used CWR to install the zip file and everything seemed fine but it's stuck in a bootloop now. Hboot is still accessible, so I tried doing a factory reset, but that doesn't work either. Hoping flashing back to the MR2(which is what I had installed previously) works. Still trying to figure out what the issue was, as the file was fine and install went without a hitch. Sucks that the mirror for MR2 is SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

update: Got an old recovery image to work and resinstalled mr3. Everything is good now. Still don't understand why it went fubar the first time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Sounds like you may have had an issue with cwm. Try using 4ext.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
Im sorry, do you understand the definition of brick?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] major_works:
Searching "apps2zip" in Play Store yields no results. Can you please post a link?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
Not really bricked. It's a little bit scary, but is not a brick.

It happened to me, too. ROM Manager/CWR din't complete the flash, so the phone can't boot. Booting on recovery and flashing from there works well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dvgb173:
Take the s out and try again.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] bigligg:
Cwm and rom manager are pretty bad. Nothing comes close to 4ext on the bolt. When I used to use those two when I first started I had nothing but problems
[Thunderbolt Android Development] shortchaz:
Any chance of getting USB audio out through a USB otg cable and DAC like the galaxy s3?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
4EXT

I wouldn't agree on saying ROM Manager and CWM are bad, but strongly agree that nothing comes close to 4ext.

I installed it following your recommendation.

Thank you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aldeghij:
For the first time EVER on an aosp rom, voice dictation works perfectly! Love this rom....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wampuscat:
Its in themes and apps page 2 .. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675310

When it loads up it'll search your apps. Let it finish. Then you'll notice at the bottom you can check user apps or system apps. Make sure user apps is checked. If it is check the select all box in top right hand corner. This will select all the user apps. Then hit go. It takes a while so be patient. Don't think its locked up. You can name the zip whatever you want ....My apps.zip etc. Boot to recovery and flash it. I wipe cache and dalvic first but don't think its necessary. Boot up will take longer regardless if you do or don't as I think it still has to rewrite the dalvic cache for all those new apps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] retsnom:
After trying the original LiquidSmooth, I decided to play around with this a bit and ran into a problem. Yesterday 4g was working perfectly fine at home and on the train I take to school, which is usually the norm. However, 4g seems to have stopped working completely as of today. I've tried restarting the phone, turning the data/lte on and off, tried toggling the airplane mode as suggested by someone in this thread, etc. I only get 3g, and speed test showing slow speeds confirm that it's not running at 4g.

Any advice would be appreciated. So far this rom is the only one with an interface that I've liked since MIUI but there is no way I'm returning to that buggy beta rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cowisland:
Is it just me, or does MR3 appear less smooth? It feels like the hardware acceleration is not enabled sometimes.

I flashed MR3 over MR2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] geoff5093:
I flashed MR3 over MR2 with no issues, although I also don't notice any improvement. MR2 was perfectly stable though, so it's hard to improve perfection!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrewc513:
Not smooth where? What launcher and settings are you using? A lot of the perceived smoothness for flipping around homescreens depends on that pretty heavily. For me, Nova Prime can be either good or cruddy depending on which animation I pick(card stack gets extremely choppy). Apex is pretty smooth all the time. GO Launcher is butter smooth. I haven't really used the baked-in Trebuchet at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I presume "hardware acceleration" = "GPU rendering" ? If so, it is NOT enabled by default. The user has to turn it ON manually.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] doibugu2:
Anyone still getting the white screen in gmail after the update to MR3? I had it happen this morning. Reboot fixes it but still a pain.

In regards to smoothness, I think MR3 is way smoother than MR2. I did a dirty flash to 3, but it seems much better than MR2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ramos247:
mr3 is running great for me. I actually went back to GB cuz of the data drops I was having. two days running and no data drops. I'm happy camper.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
For how long ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ssethv:
I am still having problems getting my bluetooth to work. everything works perfect in this rom except my Bluetooth. It will not connect and I don't understand why. It's a jawbone ( if that matters) . I also had a little trouble doing BT in the last version of this , I was just wondering if anybody have any insight for me :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bigligg:
I think everyone should just wait for the HTC official release. Everyone is posting about the same issues over and over again. The problems aren't going to be fixed until its released. The developers can only do so much with what they have ..1000 pages of the same issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cowisland:
I use Nova launcher, and it's running as smooth as ever. I was referring to things like scrolling around in Tapatalk or the browser.

However, I think it is just my biased perception. There is probably no difference between the versions. Thanks for sharing your observations.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] recDNA:
Is it possible to shut off text to voice function? I installed an old version of Gmail to cure the bug....it works and no disappearing text but sometimes it just starts reading the email to me aloud. Never know when it will do it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I've been using v2.3.6 GMail for a couple weeks now and it has never read emails out loud. I'm certain text-to-voice is NOT a function or option in GMail, but is a system-wide setting.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] recDNA:
I want to shut it off system wide so it won't do it. It is actually a nice function if controllable...but no way to turn it on or off. It just happens 2 or 3 times a day.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] robdec17:
Well there is one problem with that.... I don't think there will be an official release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Sorry, I've no idea.... I see where to pick the engine to use for text-to-speech, but no "enable/disable" checkboxes...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bigligg:
Maybe not..then we will just have 3000 pages of the same issues lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] geoff5093:
Where is this setting? I couldn't find it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
The "disappearing text" is not unique to this ROM. There are many solutions, in addition to rebooting. Try going to SETTINGS,APPS, look for GMAIL, FORCE STOP, CLEAR CACHE. This is faster than the reboot. Someone may say it is not good enough; well, you can install a non-ICS version of GMAIL.

Agree, MR3 seems to improve on the data drop issue, FB works steady, and I have not seen a random reboot at all (until know - knock on wood).

But, meh, I may be just lucky.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Just anecdotal information: This only happened to me when I had Handcent messaging application on the phone, even on GB.

Since I decided to stop using Handcent, the issue never appeared again.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Ditto. I think HTC leaked the ICS to silence the users, and leave the trouble to independent developers.

Wouldn't be easier if they just released the source for the RIL, the camera, and other stuff that developers really need?

I hate to say this, but every time someone complains about data drops, they just forget Liquid had to create a working RIL because HTC never released it. It is like complaining because he had to shoot in the dark and hit on the cheek instead of in between the eyes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:

I still think people don't realize that liquid and jester hacked the ril and got data working before the leak dropped. I don't even think they needed it to finish up the ril.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
Not only they did not need it to finish the Liquid Team version of the RIL, but their implementation has less data issues than the leak.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wund3rground:
I do have one question that I have been wondering about for some time now, and I'm not even sure if it really means anything, I was just curious. During the flashing process there will be a line that says Random Offset 0x seemingly random number. What is that?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the answer. Here's the wikipedia article if anyone cares... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout_randomization#Android
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
I think it's possible that the flaws in the ICS ROMs may be the same things keeping Verizon from releasing it.

Maybe they can't get the camcorder to work either.

Maybe they can't come up with a sense kernel that has a battery life of more than a few hours.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
Interesting reading.

Thank you! :cool:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
Force gpu rendering is under settings - developer options, about 3/4 of way down page
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Camcorder works fine in the leak.... Works fine with nusense too. The issues with battery are related to the kernel not sleeping properly but I think they did that so that sense responds quicker. Won't be long and I'm sure we'll have better builds. Nusense is my new dd now. Everything works, data is good and gmail being blanked out doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
No way can that be the case. With moderate-heavy usage on the leaked BAMF ROM, I've drained the battery in 4-5 hours! With little usage, 8-10 is tops ! No sensible user would ever accept that. I LEFT that ROM because of that. If I forgot my charger or at least the cord during the day, I'd have a dead phone before it was time to leave work. In fact, it happened more than once.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Well good for you. I guess its good that Santod rebased the Rom from a desire s port. Battery life is much better now and the Rom is even smoother but enough about his Rom this thread is for liquid ics. And yes the reason the battery drains so quick is because the kernel never full sleeps. It's not just because of the Rom.

Trouble logging into Exchange Account

Really great and smooth ROM. Thanks for all your efforts.

Has anyone been able to successfully log into their corporate exchange server?

I keep getting a login error ("Username or password incorrect."). Not sure what the problem is.

I have to get my work account synced with this or it's a no go.

Thanks again.

I rarely comment about anything, BUT this ROM is absolutely amazing!!! I am in love with my Bolt again. 99.9% of everything works like it should. I cant seem to get performance settings to stick on boot when trying to overclock (I tried fixing permissions), other than that I cant even begin to complain. this is awesome!!!

I'm loving this ROM, thank you so much it feels like a new phone. 2 things though, the capacitive buttons don't light up anymore and I was under the impression that the ICS browser supports flash.

Whether or not to install MR3 is entirely up to you, but it is a step up from MR2. Data is noticeably better, and some of the bugs from MR2 have been squashed.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] nickhaven:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] cowisland:
Although I have not noticed a difference in data stability between MR2 and MR3, game performance appears better. Some games were slow, particularly after playing for a few minutes. This happens less on MR3.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] moonlightinwhite:
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I don't know about anyone else, but updating from MR2 to MR3 seems to have broken my camera...all I get now is "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." when I try to use it. This was after a random reboot (first one using this ROM, as far as I can tell) during which I saw an "Android is updating" message before it was fully booted.

Anyway, I remember seeing this posted a while back, so I gave it a shot and it works! I didn't bother removing the pictures and videos like RyonAdcock did, though; I just downloaded the patch, rebooted into recovery, flashed from zip, and rebooted. No muss, no fuss, just a working camera.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crisco96:
I'm having lots of issues related to battery. Sometimes it will stay around 90% for hours, then the phone will randomly turn off and when I try to start it up again it will get to the unlock screen then turn off again. It keeps turning off at the lock screen until I plug it in to a charger and then the battery will show somewhere between 0% and 30% charged. If I boot into recovery the battery level seems normal so it almost makes me believe that there's some issue with determining the amount of remaining battery on this rom.

I've done a full wipe and didn't restore anything with titanium and it's still having this issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I got that message one time when I tried to switch from the rear camera to the front camera. After that, the camera app wouldn't work until I cleared data on it (rebooting may have done the same, but didn't try that).

There's ZERO need to remove existing pictures or videos from the SD card. That has NO relevance to the camera app.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] moonlightinwhite:
You know, I think that's exactly it. I tried rebooting and that didn't fix it; I didn't even think to clear data (d'oh!) and I just tested the switch: sure enough, it breaks it (I get the message again and it won't work).

Now, before I clear data...will it delete my pictures? The warning message suggests that it will, but I don't think that it will actually do it. I just want confirmation before I do it :p
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmegalodon:
same thing happened to me. however, i can't figure out how to clear the data!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] moonlightinwhite:
There are a couple of different ways (depending on your launcher), but you should be able to go to your app drawer, hit Menu, select Manage Apps, click on Camera, and then hit the "Clear data" button. If it shows "Computing..." and the button is grayed out, wait for it to finish and the button should become available.
