1. Got the themes! Cobalt is nice and pretty and it meets my metrosexual expectations! :)

2. Boo for the kernel issue for the camera wrapper limitation. Hopefully it does get fixed. Does this keep Google Talk from working?

3. My contacts are not connected to social sites. I DO connect it using a facebook sync since facebook app doesnt seem to ever get it right but when i import a contact list into my phone without social networking connected (meaning, instantly after i install the ROM and add my gmail account) it imports all 266 of my contacts. When its done. All i see is 61 of them. Should have nothing to do with social networking right? I mean, i dont mind wasting 2 or 3 hours of my time redoing my contacts but id rather not :D

4. THumbs up about the FC's;

5. No i have not tried a log, it will show my list of people but when i press the video camera to dial it FC's. I figured it was the video camera issue? If yours is working say so, ill wipe a couple times to see if that helps, if not then ill get a logger.

Leftover Questions:

Any way to change the weather that you can add to the locker from C to F? I cant find it.

Is anyone able to duplicate the FC's on the picture crop for drop down menu background?

Or creating a recording for a text message, i get a force close there?

Anyone else having problems importing contacts?

So to make it absolutely clear- the contacts issue is simple. Wipe x5, install ROM, boot and add my gmail account and instantly import my contacts. It states its adding 266/266 but i only get 61. I dont see a pattern of the chosen 61 and why they would get picked. This is my Biggest problem with the ROM and it may not even be the ROM, more of an ICS isue like stated before however i have not connected to any social networks yet. Im simply importing to my People app from what i had in LSR 3.2

Thanks again!

Go to lockscreen settings and uncheck "use metric". That'll give you f temp .and I'm with you on the background change fc settings. I've tried with quickpic,gallery 3d and gallery ics.

Also I use go sms and its built in audio function. Also try mixer turquoise. . That and cobalt are my favorite 2 themes. With an occasional run with EPIC theme
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
Thanks, i guess i was just overlooking it :(

I hate adding 3rd party software if i dont have to, ill try ti for now though

Thanks :D

oh and i searched the threads about the overclock issue - how it defaults after you reboot? im not seeing how to fix it. Ive seen something that says you have to add it to build.prop? but i cant find the actual post. If anyone knows can you quote it for me please?

I get this on stock launcher / locker. I restart the phone and it goes away. I dont use Nova, IOS or Sense 4. I use stock. Not sure why it does it. It looks like after i do alot of scrolling it happens. I dont know. Kind of annoying. Going to keep my CPU at 1k instead of 1.7 like i normally do and see if that keeps it from happening. Anyone else get this? Are you overclocked or no?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wampuscat:

I overclock to 1.2 and use go launcher. I haven't experienced that garbled text issue one time
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
Good to know! Thanks for the feedback!

Following up on contacts. Either what you said before was correct or it was just a coincidence. I found that the contacts that i had before that were merged with facebook (most of them anyway) were not imported. Meaning, if they had any link to facebook and were not put in to the phone manually then it will not show. I had a contact list that i had created pre facebook which had most of my contacts. I see how google made the change but the transition sucked :( Its fixed now though. Least i didnt have to make 200+ new ones!

Thanks! These settings worked perfectly.

Bluetooth drop outs

First off - Love this rom!

The only thing keeping me from rockin' it full time are the constant bluetooth drop outs I'm experiencing. I mainly use my Tbolt for streaming music through bluetooth in my house and the drop outs make it unusable.

It only seems to happen when the screen is off. The sound will stutter then drop out completely until the screen comes back on.

Thought it might the wifi, but i tried it with locally stored music.

Then I thought the cpu governor might be set too low, so I maxed it out and the same thing.

Then I hooked the 3.5mm jack into the phone and the sound played fine with the screen off. No drops at all.

Is there a bluetooth sleep policy or something I'm missing?

I know others have had problems with the bluetooth, but mine only seem to be happening when the screen is off.

Thanks in advance.

I am stuck on 1x data. I have flashed multiple radios confirmed to work with ICS but am not able to get 4g, or even 3g. Other ICS roms i've tried work fine. Anyone else having this issue?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
In 4EXT under tools try formatting in EXT3.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nickhaven:
After you flash these radios, are you making sure you flash the radio, then wiping cache and wipe dalvik? Also I have found letting the phone fully power down between radios sometimes does the trick.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wampuscat:
Hey try changing to on demand. I bet ur on smartass governor. Right. Seems likeamartass used to have its own screen off parameters. Hence why it helped battery life so much. Or in No frills change I/o scheduler to noop if on demand doesn't fix. And maybe set minimum frequencyto 384. These are things that fixed this problem on my Charge. Or so like me and keep it on the charger. Go to developer options and check stay awake while plugged. There's alsi an app called stay awake that gives you a widget for that function
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sithdroid2187:
I've tried this as I have seen people claim it fixed their bluetooth issues. Unfortunately for me, mine has not been resolved. I still can't use bluetooth to make or receive calls.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
If there is, it's not available to the user via any user interface.

That is correct.

I can't imagine how/why changing the file format would help and as you found out, it didn't work for you. If it did work for others, I'll bet you they changed (5) other things and don't really know which one really worked !!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pip77:
No problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
Do you think Smartass with Tiamat would explain why my alarm isn't going off in the morning. Plugged in with the screen off.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Tiamats kernel may be related to any problems you have considering it hasn't been updated in like 6 months.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imagelost:
after waiting for the last 2 months with a stock replacement TB. Holding out on the OTA. I finally broke down and rooted my TB again. (dont tell my wife lol) Damn its so perty :laugh: . I rooted by TB for one reason 1.5 years ago. Bloatware. So ofcourse I would end up doing the same if I would have waited for the OTA. (That is probally the reason why we still dont have it yet. The carriers are adding there "buy this useless sh#t" apps.)

So here I am all happy again with a Brand new phone in a old Body. Its like giving my wife a boob job!:good::good::good::good:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
I would be equally thrilled if it weren't for the constant data dropouts.

I am starting my Gnex fund today. lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Lol thats funny. I have heard that the gnex has problems with signal. Maybe its not as bad as the bolt losing data.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
I had a Gnex for a few weeks, so I know what to expect. I brought it back because of the weak signal. But I heard it improved with some updates.

Also I'd rather have a constant weak signal, than a great signal that comes and goes at least once every 15 minutes.

It doesn't matter, I don't want to derail this thread.

If the OTA drops for the Bolt before my funds are in place, and Liquid is able to fix these data issues I may reconsider, but probably not.

I'm up to $20 so far! :)

I can pick one up used on ebay for about $200 I think. Maybe $250

I don't think I can hold out until the next Nexus comes out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
All my data dropouts are gone. I updated the LTE radio (with the one from the leak) and left the CDMA radio untouched.

BT and WiFi work great. No reboots. No dropouts. Happy :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
So what are you running exactly?

I tried repeatedly to get these ICSs to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Sounds like he's running this radio combo here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30974567
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SoldierOfCatan:
I'm running the same radio and its great.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
Did anyone ever confirm that the "new" radio is actually an "old" radio that just wasn't released?

Is it an ICS radio, or just a radio that was leaked around the same time as ICS?

And,

Has anyone been on it for a while, a week or more and found that is absoluately better than .9 or .19? I find most stuff on these phones works better after a fresh install (was the same with BB's), but unless it's total junk, you usually end up with the same problems you had before in a short amount of time.

And as long as I'm at it, have folks accounted for location, weather, network issues, battery strength, etc?

My situation is a bit extreme, in that I may be working in one of nine locations on any given day, but when people say they've had few data drops on the "new" radio, were you in the same exact place for the same exact period of time at the same time of day when these comparisons were made?

Well, okay, NOT seriously folks. Whatever happened to the scientific method. Fidelity. Reliability, Validity. Where's the data? I want graphs, pie charts, chi-square tests.......8 x10 color glossy photograpsh with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one...

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Raikalo:
These settings worked beautifully for me. Thank you SO MUCH.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adam_Hawk:
That is correct. Here is what I have.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
At this point I really think the data dropouts are not even related to which radio you are using. Because I've tried them all, including the combo and I have had frequent data dropouts on all the radios.

I even tried it on a fresh install of this rom, with no apps installed or anything. And after about 30 minutes, I saw the first drop on wifi. And when that happens, I can turn wifi off and it won't have connectivity on any mobile networks either. It will show 3G or 4G or 1X but it will be grayed out and there will be no data. It happens when I'm on wifi, and even when wifi is turned off.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
Not bloody likely. Too many variables. Hell, our phones seem to have a huge amount of variability between them. Then you've got location, interference, and a billion other differences.

The best we're going to do is anecdotal, me thinks.

I tried the Jester/liquid builds with the combo and .19. Neither seem to have any difference in WiFi/data drops. Both work pretty damn well on CM 7.1.1

And yes, I've wiped more than those damn Charmin bears.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
Consider changing when your phone goes into a DEEP SLEEP. It might help your issue. It sounds MHZ's related. Like its dropping too low. I know when i put my MHZ at 100ish it likes to studder my pandora.

Get an iphone, this isnt exact science. An Iphone "genius" will be able to answer your questions, otherwise for something so specific as your saying, its like thes ROMs, Try them yourself and see which you like the most...

I know i sound like a ****, and im sorry but seriously, lets be logical.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imagelost:
After installing this ROM I have 3 files now on my SD card. 1. su.zip and 2. OTABlock.zip. 3. testthingy (that is exactly what it says. It has no associated program to open it with. So I opened it with notepad and all that came up was "foo".). So can I delete these or do they need to be run somehow? Also I am not recieving any notifications in my nav bar. I am missing a setting that is hiding them from me? i.e email, text. I am up and running fully with no problems. I did go ahead and changed the radio to the combo. I recieved one bootloop and after looking through the forums I switched over to the combo radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
Im still not finding how to make the overclock settings persist through a reboot? Anyone link for me?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] devilbomb:
I formatted everything into ext3, but it didn't keep when I reinstalled the rom.

The data and cache partitions kept in ext3, but the system partition reformatted into ext4 again.

Also, to those recommending changing the governor, that didn't work either.

I've already tried that and even set to Smartassv2 245mHz min, the sound still plays fine as long as it hard connected through the headphone jack.

Unless the cpu kernel is somehow affecting the bluetooth module, I don't think that's the issue.

Hopefully the next update cleans up the bluetooth issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ang1dust:
Did you change the Deep Sleep time?

Ill have to find it if you dont know where it is, i saw it once.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Tiamats kernel worked fine for me on gb roms. When I tried it using ics I couldn't get data or anything with the radios to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
Yep. LOL. I just tried that about 2hrs ago. Zippo on the signal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
I personally heard that the leaked radios weren't all that good and people had more issues on them, but if you had a good positive outcome with them, then congrats, I prefer to stick with the .19 radios, no mixing and mashing for me. Just strictly .19 with .19. I'm a bit paranoid about the outcome of mixing radios.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
First, I'm sorry sorry you don't have a more advanced mobile device or computer. Had you that technology you would have been able to read my post in its entirety. Clearly, only certain parts were visible to you. But to add insult to injury, when some people rerread their post and realize that they sound like a genital, they can edit or delete the post, because the device or software they're using affords them that opportunity. Some people even go back and edit their posts after they've posted them, once again, because that option may be available to them.

You expressed full knowledge of how your post or more specifically how you may be perceived and indeed expressed regret, nay, maybe even remorse, but alas, you must have not had the same options as the rest of us to go back and read the post with greater attention to detail, resulting in wording your response differently. I do hope that at some point, you have the same options and opportunities as the rest of us to project yourself in the best light possible.

Second, and really, this really adds more background to "First", thank you for making my point. There are too many variables. There is no absolute "best" radio. That was my point.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Pete02:
Boy.. this thread has really gotten away from development hasn't it? Nothing but posts about dropping signals and different radios (which I'm sure the dev already knows about) and now guys are just going at each other.

Let me know when we get back to some productive talk please.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
You wanna know something? How about we stay on the topic and quit insulting each other even if one of you is being a bigger **** than the other. A person has questions, another person has answers, and because we're dealing with third party development, many factors tie into how it affects our batteries, along with the rest of our phones.

Sure we have the same model, but each of us are using either the same or different radios than the next person.

The perfect example of what I'm explaining is similar to that of the disappearing Gmail issue - Some of us have done some method to fix it and haven't had an issue since, I on the otherhand have had the issue consecutively on and off and different for both of my accounts. One displays, the other doesn't.

Point of the matter, let's end the BS, stay on topic and help each other rather than make this a war zone.

Now as far as development goes - - we've learned that the "illusion camera" application does work significantly longer than the stock video camera application. The changes are very noticeable - standard Camera app takes about 8 seconds of video then crashes. The Illusion Camera app takes ~52 seconds of video then crashes.

What we know is that the issue is due to the facts that

A) We don't have an official build for the Mecha to take the camera app from

And

B) The issue is related to a Camera hal Wrapper limitation.

Okay, so now onto Battery issues - Battery issues are various and hard to replicate on other phones exactly the same way, but underclocking is a solution, as well as doing the basics - adjusting brightness, transition effects, wifi, BT, etc

Garbled text - issue with the GPU drivers causes the issue with the text - not to fear, sometimes it's best to either reboot device or kill application depending on the case.

Radios - so far people have mixed reports on the radios. Some of you have mixed and matched some of you have just stuck with pairs, the 9 radios are good, the 19 aren't so bad, other radios have been wacky.

Kernels: I haven't a clue, tiamat has been reported to work and then to fail. Unsure about others.

I have just recently installed this tomorrow. So far I am really enjoying it. I do have a question though. Every since I have installed the rom I have been getting a text message from 6250. The message is blank. I am wondering what this is. Does anyone have any ideas?

Having some issues with web links. Such as in FB for example I hit a link and it asks whether I want to open it with Google+, the browser, or Tubemate. I've tried using the little check box to remember my choice to no avail.

Another app that sometimes produces a white screen (like gmail and FB) is the Youversion Bible app. BTW I haven't personally had that problem with gmail. I have however had a problem with gmail not syncing.

Have experienced the garbled text a couple of times. I am using Go Launcher EX. And actually I had that happen previously when I was running the BAMF leak also.

Haven't had issues with GPS, have had far fewer data drop issues than I had with stock GB. So I can't complain about that at all. Just hoping for those camera and netflix fixes. Love this ROM.

Oh one last thing. Are there any plans to add usb host mode to the kernel? That would rock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Hi, I'm not sure the web issue, have you possibly tried to install another browser? I use Chrome also the FB app for ICS has less features than the previous versions for GB due to Google's choice not to incorporate some of the app's synchronize abilities (eg: contacts)

So far I like this ROM. It's wicked fast, and smooth as @#$%. I do have the following specific issues which are directly rom related.

1. Blue tooth didn't doesn't connect the headset when dialing out. I tried installing the jmod version and in prep formatted with 4ext. I ended up having issues with 4g running jmod so I opted to restore my backup of this rom.

Now blue tooth connect 98% of the time vs 10% before.

Switching manually to speaker and then back to blue tooth forces it to connect.

All told annoying but a minor issue.

2. The actual phone dialer screen has no landscape? I tried installing a variety of dialers and none of them fix this issue. Keeps using the same built in dialer. I use my phone 100% of the time in landscape mode. Anyone know how to replace the "built" in dialer screen.

I think those are my issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
Here's something new for you.

Yesterday evening, I was showing 1X but it was clearly connected to 4G, because it was blazing fast.

I tried toggling airplane, and when it reconnected it showed 1X again, but again it was obviously 4G.

This morning when I woke up it showed 4G again.

Odd huh?

Due to usage of a web monitoring app I can not use an alternate browser at this time, it can only monitor the stock browser. I've been told they are working on an extension for Dolphin which I look forward to.
