Yeah.. its illegal to disable the shutter sound in some areas? That's kinda funny

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

I've just been using the stock launcher that Liquid made. So you were experiencing the same issue on Nova also?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] geneb:
Yes. In Korea and Japan it's illegal. The US Congress is also considering a law to require a shutter sound. This stops people from taking photos without the persons consent.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
It's too late at that point. What it does is let someone know that someone took a picture.

ok so now I have another question to go with the few others I have been waiting on some help with. I am slowly finding out that some apps that I have used in the past are no longer compatible with my newly rooted TB. I went to the play store and it shows that it is still compatable with my pre-rooted TB but now that I have the Liquid Smooth ICS it is no longer compatable. The thing is these are the JRummy Root Toolbox and My HDWidgets. Both Are Compatable with the SIII. So why not with my phone? Also the store has now reconized by device as a HTC Thunderbolt rather than the ADR6400L. See the picture. Any Reason why this happening?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
Doesn't work on mine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Adr6400l is the thunderbolts device name in the build prop.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GateWayGee:
Yeah, but none since the update to nova prime beta 7. And clearing the cache and dalvik

I installed this again today, didnt install setcpu or use anything else to adjust clock speeds. Not only has battery been fantastic, no reboots or fc's, but i have had no data drops at all on .19 radios. Been amazing so far!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RunNgun42:
So which file format should we be using with this rom, ext3 or ext4?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Milimbar:
ext3 for all ICS ROMs for now I believe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] osuron07:
ext3 for all ics sense roms based off the leak. you can use ext4 on liquids.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
I formatted EXT3 this last time around after wiping and haven't had a drop yet.

I verified in "info" that nothing said EXT4 both before and after install.

Flashed this last night, flashed the .19 radios. Everything is killer. Smoothest ROM I've used on this device, hands down. The minimal launcher is also refreshing. Haven't used enough to comment on battery life, but seems to be lasting longer than anything else...

I'm getting the GPS glitch - it will lock onto 1-5 satellites. I have tried using GPS Status, but that is all. Wiped dalvic / cache, fixed permissions etc to make sure it wasn't something goofy. Should I try aGPS? I saw a little GPS discussion earlier but it didn't ever give one thing to try to fix all. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'd love a GPS lock :/

Cheers Liquid, really killer job here. Go have a beer :)

EDIT: I will update as I try fixes. Pulled batt / 4G card (per an older suggestion), booted up and had 5 satellites & a lock within 2 minutes. Going to try gps.conf fix (w/ DNS) next to get a quicker / more reliable lock, (gps.conf fix thread here)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
Liquid or Jester did say that. A while back. Keep n mind that the two of them are alternately active i. Several forums, websites and Twitter. It may or not have been posted here, but they were clear that this was it for now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
I imagine we will get it right after its done and released, but thats just an estimate
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mudavo:
Yep.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] namurt:
the agps patch is a must-have. it's baked into jester's jmod of this same rom, and with it i get instant locks and on a clear day i'll lock onto 10 or 12 sats.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imagelost:
So after no love even after all this (see above), maybe I can get this question answered....My texts in both Facebook and in my Gmail will disappear after about 1 sec. it show as soon as the apps open then disappears. The apps still continue to run, but no actual text is being showed! Is there anyone else that has come across this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Patience is a virtue. First off the OTA, Su, & other zip files you mentioned aren't meant to be installed, the ota blocker zip is just called on when needed by the Rom. Second, many people are having trouble on this rom, but much of it has been previously explained and I myself have even given solutions as well as others repeatedly. Everything has already been explained, please take the time to read back a few pages and get oriented with the fixes

Here's the answer all for all of you, fixes are coming, and development is going in baby steps at this point, as a tester for Liquid, I can only say so much. So to give you all a retrospect and faith, the development is far from dead in the water but also changing paces.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Understandable, ive faced similar issues, btw, if you're on a custom rom, you don't even need to worry about OTA, likely its not in the rom itself anymore, but keep the OTA blocker incase you plan on going back to your stock root.

help me please

Hello everyone,

I downloaded and flashed this ROM but it didnt work: the phone stucked on the white HTC screen. my phone is rooted, and is on stock GB 605.19 ROM. I am not very expert but i always download and flash the rooted stock ROMs after each OTA.

this is what i did in order to flash this ROM; so please correct my procedure:

1. I put the ICS ROM on the SD

2. rebooted in recovery

3. wiped data (factory reset) three times

4. wiped the cash

5. wiped the dalvik

5. installed the ROM.

6. rebooted

phone crashed on the white HTC screen. looks like no Operating System was found.... :(

the install went too fast (too good to be true :) ) and i noticed that the ROM is only 95M... compared to 450M (the Ginger Bread Stock)... does this mean this ICS ROM is not complete? and it has to be installed on top of something else?

any help?

also, i am trying to falsh this ROM in order to improve the performance and solve some data drop issues... will this ROM solve the issues? any recommendations? what Radio do i need for this ROM ?

thanks:laugh:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Hey there friend, Sounds like you had an issue downloading the ROM, the Rom zip is much larger than the 90MB you're talking about. You must've had an issue downloading it - here's a few things I'd recommend.

- if you're using ClockworkMod recovery, switch to 4ext recovery - they have the free version on their site: here - its all touch based,

- Second thing, you don't need to wipe it 3 times, that's not needed. once is enough, just when you wipe it be sure to select "wipe all partitions (except sdcard)" that's the equivalent to a superwipe

- Third, I'd keep the radios at .19 - it sounds like you just had a bad download. A way to avoid this is to always check what is called the md5 sum of a file - this is a generated sum of numbers and letters that distinguish the file - and used to compare the file you downloaded to the file that was uploaded - if there's a mismatch in the md5 sum - this will mean that something went wrong in the download process and that you should re download or fine another way to get the file - then do a comparison.

What OS are you on? there's multiple ways to check the md5 of a file depending on the OS you're using.

If you're using Windows - try this program http://www.winmd5.com/ - put in the original md5 of the file you're trying to download and then have it check your file and compare the 2.

If you're using Linux - open your terminal and make your way to the directory that has your download in it - then type in: md5sum <name-of-file-here> but without the arrows and dashes unless they're included in the file name, then it should generate an md5 of your copy and then compare the 2 - yours and the original file's md5.

Here's the original MR2 md5 checksum: ab3a8bf0506b0a4b590ed148020b3159 use one of the methods I provided to check if your file gives the same output number - if you're using a Mac - I'm not exactly sure how you'd check the md5, but it wouldn't be too hard to do.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ph19971207:
ummm..alexp... It even says 93.6mb on the OP??? Read the OP, download the ROM, then tell me it's more than that... Sorry, someone had to say it..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
You should always check the MD5 of files from the SD card. It can be fine on your PC but potentially get corrupted when copying to the phone's card.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ajarmeh104:
I do appreciate all your help, but yes. i did check MD5 from the SD card and it matches: ab3a8bf0506b0a4b590ed148020b3159

also the ROM is 93.59MB only (98139623 bytes). any thoughts why it is not working for me? i tried twice and i get the same result: white HTC screen ... :(

I don't think asking for ETA's is necessarily a bad thing. Let's put it this way... As a programmer, when you work either corporate or small business, your boss is going to want a contract signed with a deadline. Aka, ETA.

Anyway, I appreciate those who gave me a non-smartass remark. I guess next time I'll scan up and down the 74 threads where he states he won't be releasing an update till the OTA release..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ajarmeh104:
after failing to install ICS, I had to use a clockworks restore to bring my phone back to a working state.

i did root my phone long time ago (I am one the the first TB users), and i really dont remember the exact procedure, but it is NOT the revolutionary one. as of now, I dont have ADB on this computer,,, but i can install it if that will help resolve this issue... I know it is handy and i used it back when i had a G1 ... do i need ADB in order to save the a bootlog?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
Everyone else does, including the guys who spend dozens, or hundreds, of hours building these for us. They're building them for us for free, a fact which pretty much negates your pedantic little corporate argument.

Just because you can take a dump somewhere, doesn't mean you should.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Well I want to know what's going wrong when you try to install the ICS ROM. Because this only has happened to me when I downloaded an alpha testing rom. So I'm curious as to what's causing this. And a logcat would help so that other people can get an idea of what's causing this white screen.

If your already rooted (which from your post, it seems so), why not try installing EXT4 Recovery app from the Google Play store. Then you will have the option to install EXT4 Rocovery. From there, I would do a full wipe (including dalvik), format the file system in EXT4, and then give a fresh install to the ICS rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
No need to format it in ext4. The install script for the rom automatically formats it in ext4.

searching around i found this ICS release, it is from BAMF and they say it is rooted stock leaked (dated: 8-21-12). the size of the file is 380MB

is it good?

how come this one is 380MB while the one in this OP is only 93MB?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I never used the free version but I think it has all the features of the full version you just won't be able to use the touch version. Believe me when I say it is money well spent. There is no other app I have paid for that has been nearly as useful as 4ext.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] onestoploser:
It's 380 mb because it's a Sense ROM. All that Sense bloat makes the file huge.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I've no idea what it's missing, but I use the free version with no issues. By touch, do you mean you have to use the volume up/down keys to navigate in lieu of the touchscreen ? If so, touch is available in the free version.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
I'm on the free version, and it's touch screen operated. I'm not nearly competent enough to use the added features on the pay version.

I am however using the version from May, as the newer stuff worked initially, then stopped allowing me past the update screen. The new installs wouldn't take.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I see. When I downloaded it the free touch version was only a trial. Oh well still money well spent.

I can purchase the paid one, no problem.... but I still dont know whether or not this will fix my problem. when i flashed the ROM using CWM the operation was successful (too fast, though) but when i rebooted it stucked on the HTC white screen. how can ext4 solve this issue?

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

so... this one does not include Sense? what interface will we have? please bare with me as I am not expert in ROMs...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
I'm sure it's fine. The newer revisions just don't want to install on my phone for some reason.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
No Sense at all here. It's "pure" or "stock" Android.

The integration of Sense is really nice in the form that HTC ships it on their phones to users but it comes with a price in regards to memory, performance, and so on. It's, shall we say, "heavy" (on resources).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Cwm has been kind of buggy with the ics builds which is why it is suggested that you flash the rom using 4ext. Cwm hasn't had an update in a long time and 4ext is lots better and is maintained.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Couple oddities related to data usage and the warning options.

1] I'm getting notifications warning me of my usage as it nears the predefined 2gb limit even though the "enable warning..." option isn't selected.

2) How do you efficiently change the threshold? It doesn't appear that you can type in a value. Scrolling goes 1 unit up/down at a time and fast scrolling doesn't do anything, i.e. warp.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Using ext4, use the wipe option for "all except for SD card" (not sure of exact wording but you'll see it). Flash ROM, reboot. That is all. Any additional steps are unnecessary and usually redundant. You do not need to wipe cache and Dalvik, you don't need to wipe any partition more than once.

For your other two questions, that's what this thread is for :) Only issue that really affects me is the lack of stock camcorder.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ajarmeh104:
Ok my dear friends... let me start by saying that: you all ROCK..... I listened to your advice... purchased 4ext, wiped all but SD... and then flashed the ICS.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] quickdraw86:
if you're getting satisfactory data with a consistent connection, there's no need to install other radios. i personally use only the 605.9 radio combo for all thunderbolt roms, including this one, and see no reason to switch.

as for the AGPS patch, whether you need it or not really depends on your ability or lack thereof to obtain a GPS lock on your phone. after installing the AGPS patch, my GPS locks were almost instant, whereas without it, it took me several minutes to obtain a GPS lock, if at all. if you're having GPS difficulties, you can always install the patch. it's easy to install.
