Me too. It is so fast I started to wonder if it was faking lock, lol. I think it is faster than my old Garmin. But, despite all the issues we have had with AOSP and GPS, really, the GPS hardware in this phone is pretty solid as long as the software does not get in the way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] namurt:
just to be clear, you mean you get instant locks without having applied the gps patch, correct?

and what about v6 supercharger? anyone using it with this rom? or is there enough butter to begin with?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
So you'll have to "add back" in the patch added since the second release... makes sense... then add in a script that is already built into the Settings... good use of space... anything else you missed reading?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I've never applied any GPS fixes or patches. One time I did have an issue getting a lock but it must have been a temporary glitch as I did NOTHING and it started working.

Is the V6 Supercharger stuff updated for ICS ? It has never gave me any NOTICEABLE improvements anyway. I personally believe all of these tweaks can speed things up in theory but not to any degree that the user can tell. I have to admit that I laugh when I read of someone who's just installed it and announces "it's blazing fast now !".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] namurt:
i deserved the sarcasm, heh.

thanks for this rom, twisted. much obliged!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Linkford:
Is anyone loosing audio from the bluetooth every once in a while when making calls? I will call and can't hear anything from the other party. Hang up and call back and hear them just fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Willis_G:
What is the best 4G radio to be running with this rom? i flashed and havent seen the 4g icon yet.. thats my quest here people. i love everything so far, havent gotten a chance to really break it down and start playing with features yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ellises:
this rom has been awesome, I was super happy to know there was constant updates coming out from this one.

but on to the negative part, and which I always hate to post on the negative parts. but i like to share my experience with the other users, may it be a problem someone has then it will just back up that experience too, then it says "it's happening to multiple devices."

the latest update (11/7/12) has been very unstable for me. to begin, i always super-wipe my phones before flashing files... i.e: wipe/factory reset, clear caches, format system/etc, install rom, install additional patches, clear cache/dalvik again, reboot. ..... that outta the way, on the latest update my phone is randomly resetting itself, twice randomly and another time while in a call. then data is very unstable, even through it was unstable before, this time along (always on .19 radio) it would go a while without any data connection, and 4g was hardly working. so kinda odd this happened, but had to revert back to the last update to have a stable experience and not to tick people off i'm talking to on the phone haha.

I remember back to the G1 days, I had to call 911, and during the call the phone rebooted itself, less to say, the following half hour was not a good experience with the police... haha.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] saintdice:
I searched around and didn't see anything. Sorry if this has been asked before...

But with the new camera, why does it look like night vision when you snap a pic? It focuses and takes the pic and the screen goes green. I can't be the only one seeing this, right?

Is there a flashable zip out there for the old camera?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmydene84:
Mine does it too, the picture comes out fine so it doesn't bother me really
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well it's just like that I think it happens on every phone that's not the Nexus 4 lol. Anyways a bit off topic but if you haven't seen check out the app I'm developing. Nomad Share

Keep up the great work twisted looking forward to the next build it get's better every time! :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
You need to add nothing to this rom. GPS is the best I have ever seen in a rom. Never had to modify or add files to make it work. If you think you need to add v6 supercharger. Then add it. I can't make that call for you but as is the rom is basically perfect. It just needs so.e more tweaking here and there. I have never needed to use that supercharger.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

The green screen has happened before when twisted started making the aosp ics rom back in Jan. I am sure he can fix it but the pic comes out fine so not a big deal. I was hoping the 4g fix was more stable but it wasn't and acted just the same as before the fix. Maybe twisted will get it next time. Still a great rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] *BAM*:
Same here regarding the camera turning green on the preview. I'm not too concerned because there's still some kinks to work out with our ICS.

Sent from ICS Kanged Bolt using my thumbs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] saintdice:
Thanks for the reply on the camera. I want too concerned either, just wondering if I was the only one and needed to reflash.

Either way, love the ROM. Keep up the good work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bradg24:
Has anyone tried "pimp my ROM" on this ROM? Wonder if would work?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Only one way is to try it and tell us..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
It will. I just don't like going through a bunch of extra crap to flash a from and do all those tweaks myself.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] saintdice:
Is there an option somewhere that I'm missing to make alarms and notifications ring through on the speaker even when headphones are plugged in?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] _Stomp_:
I experienced this same issue. I temporarily resolved the issue by switching from BT to spear or the earpiece and back to BT. I know its not really a solution but it could help temporarily.

On another note:

I seen a few people mentioning the camera. I was just wondering is there a self timer option on this camera? I've checked the settings but I can't seem to find any setting to set a self timer. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd rather ask for forgiveness before I beg for permission.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
I recall when the v6 supercharger script first released it was quickly avoided like the plague because it caused more problems than it was worth on the NS4G. I tried pump my rom with this room but it would make things way too unstable.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
My concern with scripts/tweaks like these are they can change sooooo many things, I've questioned how all of the changes interact. I understand that adjusting setting "x" does one thing and setting "y" does something else, but is the combination of changing them both "safe" ?

Also, many claim to make big improvements in battery life and my experience is either no change or it makes things worse. :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I have never had any ill effects to battery from using v6 supercharger. The 3g turbocharger script however does have an affect on battery life. The script now installs that too but all you have to do is remove those lines from the build prop.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ToastyZ71:
I had the BT issue as well, but I think I have found a workaround- I set up a Tasker "Task" to Set Bluetooth Voice to "ON" and created two profiles - one with a trigger of Phone Off Hook When bluetooth connected (for dialing out) and another with trigger of Phone Ringing when blutooth connected (for incoming calls) Seems to work fine now.

Note that when on the 10/28 build, the BT worked fine without the Tasker profiles.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
I just installed this and the LTE isn't reporting a signal at all. We basically already knew this so not a huge surprise. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36320-app2012-11-11-android-signal-info/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The green screen was fixed in the camera app itself. The old libraries didn't work well with the mosaic configuration. The app is built, so finding the exact place to make changes that are written in Java that needs to be smali put into code decompiled into smali is not very likely. I either need the source to the camera, or some way to change the original camera lib.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ss0mohit:
I wasn't getting notifications with handcent. Anyone else has this kind of issue?

And I'm not getting some text messages. It'll say that my friend sent me 3 texts, but I only receive 1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
I had to reboot to receive 8 texts my wife had sent me and was using the stock message app. I wonder if it has to do with something in the modifications to the ril he made?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] F350-6:
Did anyone else have fewer troubles with bluetooth on the 10/28 build? I didn't try that build, but my bluetooth issues have me to the point of getting ready to flash a new ROM if I can't figure something out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bright2018:
I was having the same issues on the .19 radio rebooting constantly. Went to the combo radio and haven't had a reboot since (going on 1 day now).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Twisted what settings in setCPU did you use to get the PhotoSphere recording to work?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimmydene84:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] woodt94:
10/22 build, FFC final picture is the right orientation but preview view is now upside down... not complaining just letting you know in case you didn't know haha :) this build is awesome. Definitely appreciate all the work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cornflakius:
Wait so I'm confused - does the camcorder work in this or...? Also is there a chance to get rid of the camera.apk with a camera that can actually focus? :P

Testing this out now to see how the battery life is like and the response but knowing twisted's releases, should be great. Thanks man :)

Also this has an issue with the Navigation - it does not say the street names when using Google Maps Navigation even after installing the voice synthesis app that it asks for.

Working on it. It says the class is missing so it was added to the manifest but that didn't have any effect. Still trying.

I thought it was still there but it will be in future ones. I've been getting that stuff sorted out, too.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ToastyZ71:
fwiw, I was seeing the same BT issues on GB stock and ROM's. Was not seeing it on any ICS roms until the 11/6 and 11/7 builds here of this ROM

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Lazer:
May I ask for a link to this "combo" radio? My girlfriend is using my Thunderbolt now, so I try to keep her phone up to date with newer roms to make it run better, but I don't keep up with new radios and such. I installed the 11/07 update of this rom and I had atleast 5 reboots while setting up the rom for her. I'm worried it'll do this to her when she leaves, and I can't do much by then. Any help would be much appreciated!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] moonlightinwhite:
If it were me, though, I'd put her back on a super-stable GB ROM instead of sending her off with one of these ICS ROMs. Not because these aren't stable; they've all worked very well for me and this one has been the best...but as everyone says, each Bolt is different. If you had 5 reboots just setting up the ROM (and you did it correctly with a FULL wipe), I'd take it as a sign.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] quickdraw86:
agree. modding someone else's phone in general isn't a good idea. getting improved battery life and extra features for someone else seems great, until something goes wrong and the person that uses the phone doesn't know how to fix it and is unable to contact you right away to get it working again.

So I just flashed back to this rom last night after going back to Thundershed for a while.. Unfortunately the battery life is still WAY to poor for me.. After a full night charging (unplugged at 6am) it was at about 12% by noon... With only a few texts, watching today's new epic meal time, browsing a couple Web pages.. That is just not acceptable.

I know the issues with the rom not deep sleeping, I'm just curious if others are seeing the same performance or if mine is worse.. Also what are some things you are doing to deal with the battery life issue..?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ToastyZ71:
not having that bad of battery drain here. wifi or network?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] starscream86:
Mostly network during the day. Wifi once I'm at home.. I did have wifi on all day though, bluetooth too. Could that be my issue? Maybe my battery is just getting old...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
I get better battery life on this rom than any other rom I've ever used. I do find however while you're on Wi-Fi turn off Mobile Data and while you're on Mobile Data turn off Wi-Fi. There isn't a reason to have on both other than to receive mms which for me is almost never.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stellarvelocity:
I am seeing an issue with the stock SMS app not sending or receiving AND immediately marking all "sent" MMS as draft. I checked and added APN settings from around xda and other forums with no luck. Any suggestions?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dwazzue:
I haven't seen this issue. I can send and receive MMS fine with stock and I haven't changed the default APN settings.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bradg24:
OK "pimp my rom" is a bad idea to run on this rom. Twisted has this rom done right, PMR lock my phone up, it wouldn't charge and it over heated major.. lucky I had a battery charger on my desktop dock. Its was more headache than any help IMO.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rajuabju:
Wow I dont see anything near that kind of battery drain.

With moderate usage, sending txts, exchange and gmail updating every 15 minutes, and staying on 4G, I can get to about 3pm (unplugged at 7am) and be around 40%. By 6pm, I'm down to about 15%, although I usually charge up again by then.

You must be running some background program thats draining ur battery faster?

Side note: I use the Rezound battery
[Thunderbolt Android Development] starscream86:
I will have to look into what apps I have running in the background.. I do have facebook app and friendcaster pro running all the time. I'll try disabling them and see if that helps.

I haven't heard of using the resound batt. Is it bigger?

Battery monitor shows by far the biggest drain is my screen. So I switched from the 5 min auto off to 15 second.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rajuabju:
That will make a HUGE difference. I have my screen also set to 15 seconds auto-off.

I also use facebook, but not friendcaster.

I also realized that about 20% of my day is on Wifi, not 4G, so that also helps me some with battery life.

The Rezound battery is bigger and better than the stock Tbolt battery, and still fits exactly the same, adds no additional bulk. Changing the batt's made a big difference for me and a lot of other Tbolt users.

Appologies if these questions have been asked answered. I've read through the thread and don't recall seeing them.

1) In Advanced

A) You have to check Powersaver for the settings below to take affect, correct?

B) When you check that, you get a dire warning about FCs and cats and dogs lying down together. Has anyone actually used this?

2) In Launcher settings, do all of the different home screen transitions not work? Do any of them work? Am I doing something wrong?

3) Twisted or anyone else, you said in an earlier post that you have a profile in Set CPU that overclocks for the Camera. Do you have other profiles set up for performance or batt saving or do you rely on the settings provided through Advanced?

TIA,
