Data and signal are great for me. I rarely drop data and I'm in south Texas where VZW coverage sucks and AT&T is king. Down here you go more than 10 miles off the interstate and you're lucky to have 1x, which sucks for me since I'm oilfield and stay out in the woods. I didn't intend for my previous post to sound rude.

I was toggling airplane mode like crazy just to get data long enough to send an email. The irony is that I was in an area that supposedly has decent 4g coverage and I was on gingerbread. It really isn't always just the build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ToastyZ71:
When I flashed Google Now from the add-ons pack, it did not work for me. I went back to the Google Now for ICS Project from mikeyXDA and others. That works pretty well. Still has an occasional voice issue, but otherwise it works.

The signal bars on 4G do not work. Some builds they are stuck on 2 bars, some builds they are blank. 3G bars usually work. Some builds are better than others. 11/28 seems better than 11/23, but about the same as earlier builds. And while we're at it, you may also notice a bit of wonkiness with the wifi signal. I am not sure the signal scale is accurate. at home, where i used to have at least 2/3 bars on stock rom, now i have just the one bar on wifi, until i get to about half the distance to the router and then i have full bars. Doesn't seem to hurt performance though. Hopefully that covers things for you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] quickdraw86:
I love running twisted's rom, and am grateful that he's back! Everytime i check this thread though, someone is posting about signal bars... Known issue. Signal bars aren't accurate in the first place. dBm is the most legitimate indicator of signal strength if it displays correctly, .02¢ of the evening.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That actually helps a lot. It's not reading, it's translating to pictures... closer to an exact issue...

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ABN85:
There is a mikeyXDA one that is online/offline. I ran it for a couple weeks and didn't see that it did any better than the one in the Extras Pack. Maybe it was just my phone though, but I seemed to have more problems with search results not showing up.

Yeah. Good answer. From the perspective of trying to fix the issues, that makes sense.

I use M7-offline, I think. It's the larger version of the two. Been using it for weeks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] quickdraw86:
That isn't a fix. The problem is with the official apps, not with accessing gmail and facebook in general... Alternate clents are known to work fine...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ToastyZ71:
I was using the "offline" version, so should have both.

Maybe I wasn't doing something right, but even though I flashed it with the Aroma installer, Google Now never showed up for me until going back to the mikeyxda v7 version.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] osuron07:
Anyone have any tips on ways to combat the lag that seems to develop over the course of 12 hours? I know you can clear cache, but I feel like that is defeating the purpose of ICS as it stores more cache intentionally. The first few hours of using it were amazing, then throughout the day, it started having random lag moments like I remember, avast goes from scanning new apps instantly to taking up to 15 seconds to kick in, keyboard (any of the 6 I have) generally stop keeping up with me, apps take sometimes triple the normal time to open, etc.

Data drops weren't an issue (on twisted's), signal bars generally were correct and data switched between wifi and 3g smoothly, so that definitely has improved. I realize it's a Frankenstein kernel, but I was curious if during the last few months that I went back to gingerbread if anyone found a way to combat this lag, it's really my only issue with ICS atm haha.

As always, thanks twisted for constantly improving this build, can't imagine the amount of time you put into this.

I am working on getting my old kernel fully ported. Pretty sure most of it was ported to the one that was there but for some reason it always ran a little better long-term.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] osuron07:
Awesome. If you need a tester before you release it in a build, I'd gladly help. The lag that creeps up is really the only thing that's stopping me from using ICS as a DD, signal/data drops/reporting weren't an issue on yours, just had to toggle airplane mode after initial boot, but I'll do that all day long if the kernel stays consistently smooth lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Maybe your kernel will kill off the other bugs ie crazy text and blank gmail and Facebook lol.

GPS Issues?

Anyone else having GPS lock issues?

After more than a year of flawless GPS performance on multiple AOSP ROMs, my GPS will not lock. It seems to have started when I flashed the second 11/28 update, but that may be a coincidence. I tried flashing a Sense ROM, and it will still not lock with that ROM.

Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Check and make sure all your GPS services are checked under location services.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FletchF:
Yep, already did that. Tried toggling them off/on as well.

Camera upside down

Hi guys,

I'm on the latest rom at the time of this message. However, my camera is upside down when I use the "self camera" mode to take pics without having another person holding the phone for me. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Klonopin:
Twisted, If you're interested, I can try and get a copy of Liquid's camera kernel for JellyBean, he's not working on it at the moment due to having a newborn.

Hey cub2000 - As far as the camera goes, the reason it's not functional at the moment is due to the camera not having a source kernel. It can take pictures, but can take video. Its a known issue, please read back on the OP.

what about fixing permissions? flashing a new gps patch.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
That's weird I just loaded the latest build and got instant lock on GPS. A few has had issues with these roms and GPS. Don't know what to tell you except try an older build and see if that works. So it never worked period? If a sense rom isn't working anymore now I hope your GPS didn't break down?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eldiablo2us:
this happened to me with the bamf ics leak.. i had to flash my stock .19, get a gps lock then flash my aosp gb rom. this was the only way i got it to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FletchF:
Thanks to all who offered suggestions. The problem turned out to be hardware/mechanical. It turns out that the problem started when I opened the back to replace the battery, not when I updated the ROM. It may be due to general wear and/or the fact that I replaced the battery with an after-market Resound battery which may be slightly thicker.

The fix was to remove the back cover and use a small screwdriver to bend the antenna spring clips slightly upward. All seems to work fine now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That is a pita. That is also why I have two battery backs and dread having to take the cover off for anything. It has taken a few tries just to get it back on there just right to get full everything. I actually disconnected mine from those bottom dots that holds them down so I could bend them out and then angle the bottom of the cover out and click it on with them touching the contacts.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FletchF:
I hate the design of the back cover on this phone. I would consider carrying an extra battery due the poor battery life, but I fear that if I had to remove the cover every day or so, the cheap plastic clips would wear out and it would fail to stay attached.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kylebenton:
Radio?

I just downloaded the ROM .zip file. I am going to flash, but:

1) Do I need to download a radio file before I flash? Which do you recommend?

2) Do I need to flash Gapps? Current JB version?

Thanks,
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
I can swear the tabs won't wear out. They will break off first. My cover being over a year old the tabs broke off but I switched out batteries quite often. So don't worry about the covers not taking the abuse it can.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

You really can use any radio and gapps are included in the rom
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
You don't need to, but there is talk that some help.

No, but JB apps are bad for ICS anyway.

If you have ADB set up on your computer, just adb reboot recovery. If you don't have the path set up and everything you'll have to cd to your adb directory and then do it. If you have an SD reader you can pop that into your PC and delete it that way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nawzlew:
Boy, that made my head hurt, haha. Sorry, I'm not really Android literate. I know how to do stuff here and there, but adb is not my thing. Is there a link that you can provide that you can provide?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
In order to run adb from his PC, he needs a cable. If he has a cable, he could just delete or rename the PG file! :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nawzlew:
Yes, but I can't get past the boot screen.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
But is it really worth all the trouble to adb remove it and still have to get into recovery anyway? If it won't boot it's not like you can mount the card. My trick is usually to take the card out to get into recovery. I forget if this phone boots without the battery though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nawzlew:
It doesn't. I just tried a method where you remove the battery while the phone is connected to a charger. It turns off.

Which Radio file works best for this ROM (or the TBolt in general)? In my current ROM I have dropped data signal at times, so I'd kinda like to upgrade the radio while I flash.

OK. I wiped system, cache, and d-cache. Flashed ROM, Expansion, and Gapps.

It booted up the device went through the optimize apps and all that, but then got hung up.

I kept getting an error:

"application android.phone stopped working"

It kept coming up immediately after I'd clear the error, and it was a struggle just to get my phone to reboot into recovery, but I managed and restored an old back-up.

Did I miss something? Is there a way to get the phone to work, because I was getting 0 bars, no data (3G, or 4GLTE... like it didn't start), and the constant error.

Please advise.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ABN85:
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system. I always do it in that order but that's cuz I'm a little OCD. And no need to flash Gapps, this ROM has them included.

If you have another phone just pop your SD card in the other phone turn it on and if it doesn't have file manager. Just download it then find the file and delete it. Then put card back in your phone and your done. Other phone doesn't have to be rooted.

Alright, figured out some of the issues with the extras pack. Now the moviebox check actually works. There is also a new option for doing an update without a wipe that will reset the wireless radios.

The TBolt is the only phone I've got and I've been running your ROMs for many weeks now. It's fine for me.... The blank Gmail and Facebook are annoying -- just have to kill them, sometimes more than once, and they'll work. I do have to admit though, I find the camera PQ rather poor and in low light, it's almost unusable. I really wish the camcorder worked as well, but on both cases, I understand the core issues though (and I'm not blaming you !!).

HTC: Release the ICS kernel source ! For that matter, release an unsupported, developer-only ICS ROM and let the hackers have at it !
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
For now, going into Settings -> Interface -> Statusbar and enabling the 6-bar display will fix signal reading.

And I think I found the issue -> http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16222-implement-6-bar-signal-and-more-accurate-4-bar-signal/ Check the third or fourth posts that explains always getting 2-3 bars. Sound familiar?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Maybe it was liquid that said it. Funny thing is after saying .9 radios would fix the reboot issues. My phone just had to prove me wrong by rebooting not long after I posted that lol. So I will modify what I said earlier with you may have a reboot once in a blue moon lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
And in regards to people who "trust" the number of bars, read that link at Rootzwiki. You will see how simple it is for the phone manufacturer, carrier, or a ROM developer to manipulate the bars. Apple has done it, Google did it with either ICS or JB. Who knows how many other cases it's been done. Hehe, a developer could "tweak" the kernel so that his/her ROM always shows 3-4 out of 4 bars (or 5-6 out of 6 bars). Then you'll get some dev's "follower" who announces "my signal strength is so much better with this ROM !".
