Yeah I can confirm this as well. I first saw it in the screenshots posted in OP, where the LTE signal had 0 dbm. I thought it looked odd. Sure enough yep same issues where 4 bar mod = 2 bars all the time and 6 bar mod = full bars all the time on LTE.

I don't really care though, with LTE I either have it or I don't. Because when the phone decides my signal isn't good enough for LTE, it just drops me to 3G anyways.

Just happy to see the devs put out a proper ICS ROM for the Thunderbolt before HTC did :D feels good, and I'm not even the man behind this chaos haha

Edit: also confirming I still have the garbled text bug we initially saw on the 8/16 MR2.6 build from Jester. Force closing the launcher fixes it once it re-launches. Strange, wonder why this is. I want to say it's GPU rendering flaking out and causing corruptions, artifacts. Can't tell for sure though.

And obviously it's not Nova/Apex/etc as I'm running the stock launcher, and the same exact problem used to happen on Nova. So it's something with the system/drivers/phone.

I have been putting this through its paces the last couple hours and I am just blown away. Incredibly smooth, and so far seems to be as battery efficient as it could be on a thunderbolt. The only thing that I have noticed is that haptic feedback isn't working in SwiftKey for me for some reason. Not really a ROM issue per second, but I thought I would just throw that out there. Props to all the devs that made this happen.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Is there any way to edit the default Launcher settings? I don't see any options for adding new screens, customizing the grid size, etc.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Its all under nova settings.

On another note I think I can say that my phone is noe running a stable build of Thor cream sandwich. :D

[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Which is where exactly? Sorry, I'm really not seeing this anywhere in the menus.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Well, I'll be damned I guess it doesn't. I typically default to apex launcher to me Nova feels a little too rough around the edges compared to the rest of ICS UI. I thought I'd peak at nova's settings and I didn't see it.

Sent from my Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Yeah, I usually use Go Launcher, but it seems super laggy on this ROM and the default launcher seems to run really smooth, but I can't seem to find a way to modify the settings anywhere. I'll give Apex a try for the time being and put this down as an official bug until someone finds the hidden settings.

Bug: Launcher settings aren't accessible anywhere in the menus. Solution.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
I'm afraid I had a moment of stupid. Between liquids build and jesters version I'm mixing my threads up. Jesters version has nova launcher. I don't know what liquids version uses.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] gruiz1122:
The reason you're not finding Nova settings is because Liquid's build (this one) runs Liquid launcher. Settings would be found under System settings > Launcher. Installing a 3rd party launcher does nothing for the smoothness of this ROM. They'll all run the same regardless... I've tried them all for a couple of hours with all scrolling and fading animations turned off and there is no obvious difference to my naked eye....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
I can't find the settings anywhere as evidenced by my screenshots. You might not notice any lag on your end, but I have a very noticeable lag with Go Launcher which is why I'd prefer to use the default Liquid Launcher. I'd just like to be able to edit the settings, which I can't find for the life of me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gruiz1122:
I should have emphasized that there's no difference between stock, Nova and Apex. As far as Launcher settings, I don't know how else to get you there. Hit Menu > System Settings and under Wireless and Networks you'll see Shortcuts and under that you'll see Launcher.

Edit: Are you sure you're on Liquid's stock ROM and not Jester's JMOD? Big difference being no launcher settings in the system menu...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sorullo_xgrx:
This looks more like jester's jmod Rom..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Nope, it was definitely Liquid's ROM. Not sure what happened, but I reflashed and it's back now. Also, it can be accessed through the notification bar as well for those who run into the same bug.

Do radios affect wifi connectivity?

Because I was having dropouts on the .19 radios so I switched to the .9, but I think I am having more dropouts on the .9
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SikYou:
Yes, potentially radio related.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
Cool.

So here is what I tried.

1. Re-install .19 radios.

2. Wipe cache and dalvik.

3. Reboot, remove PG05IMG.ZIP from my SDCard.

4. Reboot into recovery.

5. Backup.

6. Wipe all but sdcard

7. Wipe data

8. Wipe caches.

9. Wipe all but sdcard again.

10. Install rom.

11. Wipe all but sd card.

12. Install rom again.

13. Reboot.

We'll see how it goes with the wifi and data this time around. :)

Had 1X, connected to Wifi. Commencing downloading N.O.V.A. 3 which is about 1.6Gb. We'll see if I can get through that without a dropout. :)

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Wow, I've never had that happen before.

I only had to download 17Mb for that game, and I guess it used the files already on the SDcard, because it runs fine after that quick download.

My saved game is gone which is kinda odd though, if it's using the files I already had.

Well, I guess that wasn't a great test. But so far I haven't dropped out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
That didn't take too long. It just dropped out again.

I noticed the market was taking a long time to load, so I opened the stock browser, and it can't load anything either, even though the wifi signal looks like it's connected.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Not available in the free version. All one needs is a file manager with root access...

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Steps 7 and 8 are redundant and not needed. Step 6 takes care of them.

Why do you have steps 11 and 12 ? :confused: :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
Because overwiping never hurt anyone. :)

11 and 12, again just making sure.

I'm just trying to get lucky and make it work. Other people have said they have zero wifi problems, and so I'm hoping that if I didn't quite wipe everything that needed to be wiped, that might explain why I am having problems. But clearly that wasn't it, because I'm still having problems. :(

I'm at a loss.

Do I keep Liquid ICS and have data problems, or go back to Tshed and have phone call problems?

I have good current backups of both.

So I'll probably be back and forth until HTC releases it's OTA and Liquid updates his rom, and fixes all the ril issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
The issue I have been having was more on the line of Garbled text - I tried the permissions adjustment, and also converting Gmail to sys app as well as a few other things - its just a small issue with a few occurrences that still needs fixing.

If anyone can re-create this issue or knows exactly how to re-create the issue - it would be extremely beneficial if you could log it.

So far the best logcat app I've used is Logcat Extreme - market link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.lcex

Just hit the record button, recreate the issue, and then press the record button again to stop recording and save the log, then, UPLOAD! ;)

Any logs that people generate, feel free to send them my way and I'll pass them onto Liquid and see what he thinks. :)

Also, last thing - if you can, go into detail about what you did to re-create the issue, every bit helps.

Permissions are fine when copied. All other apps in /system/app are rw-r--r-- as was GMail when it was copied. I do see that the owner differs though. It was owned by system.system but should be root.root. Just fixed mine and will see if the blank-screen still occurs or is really fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Do whatever you think works best. I'm on the .19 radios that were originally installed via OTA GB 2.3.4 and I've only seldom had issues with data. Most of it is solvable through an airplane mode re-cycle.

But I understand your frustration, working on partly unstable software can be a pain.

Most of the issues are because there hasn't been an official Kernel release

Sent from my LiquidSmooth ICS 1.5 Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
I hear ya.

I am on the .19 radios now, and still having trouble with wifi and mobile data.

Toggling airplane works most of the time, but I find myself having to do that about 7 or 8 times a day. It gets old.

Hopefully that OTA will drop soon.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Are you getting good enough 4G in your area? that may be an issue as well, sometimes the connectivity you get (whether you get a good amount of 4G or not) - specifically with this release, has had an effect on the radio's work. If you're experiencing it 7-8 times a day, I'd just reboot and see if it will do a better job with just the 3G.

If you can - Log the issue - use the app "Logcat Extreme" on the market, and post the logs.

As many others have said, maybe switching radios temporarily may have a difference. Keep strong :)

weather widget perhaps?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
+1 for this - it could be a weather widget or possibly that you haven't disabled the location services in the settings.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
In my home town, there is very strong 4G, but in my actual house, it's barely there. It's there enough to connect, but it comes and goes. When I had a Gnex for a little while it wouldn't even connect to 4G at my house because it just wasn't a good enough signal.

But on my commute I have strong 4G the whole way, and it's only right when I get to work that I lose it. But I have wifi at work.

And I have wifi at home too for that matter, but I have unlimited 3G/4G so I prefer to use 4G when it's working.

Like I said this issue happens as much on wifi as it does on mobile data, so I'm not sure switching to 3G only would help.

I'll try to do that tomorrow.

Thanks!

So far im liking this.

Likes:

Real Google Maps! Yay! (transparent UI)

Nav Voice is hot, (almost went in my pants, GF made sure it happened)

Fast and smooth

Dislikes:

Video Camera (of course)

Google talk does not function.

Contacts (People app - this might be my newbie ness to ICS)

Lack of themes! :(

Misc Force closes on some of the settings

Overclock settings not sticking after reboot in Settings > Advanced > Performance

will not allow video to be sent over messaging even at the smallest size

Updates:

FC trying to crop a picture to add to drop down background (this process works when changing the lock screen background and cropping)

FC on attempting to record audio and send through message

FC when you click Liquid smooth statistics in about phone

FC when you click Dynamic Change log

I added the weather to the locker - its in Celsius, i cant find where to change it to Fahrenheit

First: Google talk will not function properly. I expect its because of the issue with video. Hopefully it will work better soon.

Second: How in the hell do you get 261 contacts imported and only have 61 show up. I changed it left and right to show it and cleared out my contacts multiple times and it will not show 261, only like 66. Dont know what im doing wrong.

Third: I want a theme or how to make a custom theme! :P

Fourth: FC's on somet things ill add the ones i find later

Although there are more dislikes than likes, they are few and far between. I like this rom and will continue to use it. I will try to report any bugs, i can count 3 off the top of my head (including Google Talk) that i have gotten. I am not a netflix fan so i could care less about it. Other than Video camera this runs pretty awesome.

Thanks for the ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cowisland:
The major difference between ICS and GB, as you probably know (and I am pissed at Google that this took them forever), is that ICS renders (draws) the UI (like scrolling text or pictures) using the GPU rather than the CPU. The GPU is optimized for that, which is why you get this super smoothness on ICS (for the record, iOS and Windows mobile had this from the start). With GB, the GPU was only used by games, and basically wasted the rest of the time. I guess apps, maybe for compatibility reasons, can still use the old CPU rendering like under GB. By now it should be clear what that option does.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
you say you've tried many different ROMS right? but have you tried different devices? something other than your phone (eg: a computer with wifi - a wifi game console?) if you're still experiencing the same issues you're describing with other devices, you'll have your answer right there.

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 AM ----------

Applications like Juice Defender and Task Killers actually take up a lot of processing themselves, they're quite contradictory, sure its helpful, but if you really want to save battery power, alter your settings yourself, brightness levels, turn off 4G if you're not getting it or using it, use Wifi when you can, stop applications that you don't want running anymore - eg: Angry Birds - that way it will only run when you restart it.

---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

I was thinking that. Something to do on Google's end.

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

Alright well the first thing I have to ask is have you tested the Talk Application and see where it crashes exactly? If not, get a logging program and log the issue and send it to Liquid.

More of my questions:

Themes - as previously stated, this is based off of CM9 (Cyanogen Mod 9) so most CM9 themes should work on this, if they don't its because Liquid only used CM as a base for the rest of the ICS rom - also CM doesn't officially support the Thunderbolt, that's why people make builds from its base.

Video Camera might not get fixed because of the Kernel and because the issue with the Hal Camera Wrapper Limitation

Contacts - Google is to blame for the reason your other synced social networking sites (eg: Facebook, where I'm assuming the 261 contacs come from) if not, then check to see if you Google sync settings are set for syncing your contacts, especially if you have 2 different emails.

FC's for Liquid Smooth Stats and Dynamic Log have been noted and sent off previously by others, me included, and should recieve a fix.

Lastly, if you want a handy function - Liquid included a "kill switch" for unresponsive applications that you can use by holding the back arrow button - but you have to go in and enable it.

Themes weren't included because he wanted to optimize this build for speed.

Hope this helps

Are there any themes which black out the stock messaging and email apps?

I really liked how they looked on Tshed. I've tried a couple of themes but so far they don't affect those apps.

Edit: I am trying the Cobalt theme, and I like the way email looks, but sms still looks all white. I prefer black because it's easier to read, and it uses less battery power.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crewski:
I don't think that black is more energry efficient (less battery) than white.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keeverw:
When an LCD or LED pixel is white it is emitting all spectrums of light, and I'm pretty sure it's working the hardest.

Darker colors require a lower output to reproduce.

I'm not saying a dark wallpaper will give you 5 extra hours of battery life. But I am positive it makes a small difference.

Plus I just prefer the way it looks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IvanNCase:
Actually it’s the opposite for an lcd because the backlight is what we see as white and is on the entire screen when it is on and the liquid crystals are actually blocking that light to show different colors and shades so it uses more power to show black because its already showing white and then covering it up.

Now it’s the opposite for OLED screens where each pixel turns on and off so that pure black uses no power and white is full power.

Maybe a side effect of the display drivers?
