Huh?

I'm not saying it's not cheap, but it's certainly not free.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Sure it is ---> http://www.4ext.net/status_update.php
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deesto-xda:
Hmmm ... even that page has a "free" (Updater) and "paid" (Control) version ... is Recovery Updater the one that people say is better than CWM?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
The updater only installs and updates 4ext. The paid one gives you control from inside android. I can choose a ROM to install, tell it to wipe everything before flashing and have it flash the extensions zip before booting. If that makes any sense.

If you flash a lot of ROMs then the paid version is completely worth it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dwazzue:
+1 this reply... especially the paid version. One of the very few apps I broke down and purchased.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Both S-Voice and Google Now, both with full voice, work just fine here. Just used them (again) to be sure before I posted this. I am using the versions from his "playground".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deesto-xda:
Yep, makes sense. But CWM does all of that, except flashing another extensions zip, which is nice but not a huge deal to flash another ROM and reboot before using.

I don't usually ... I had been using CM7 only and flashing updates when they came, which wasn't often ... but 2 years and very few Verizon updates later, I really wanted to try ICS/JB on this thing. Many thanks to Twisted and other devs for giving us the chance to do that.

But I'm still not sure of why Ext4 is much better than CWM, especially when the free version of CWM gives you the control inside Android that the paid Ext4 seems to feature? Is it that much better?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Ok, The first picture below is an actual screen shot of the app itself running.

This second one is the menu I spoke of. From here (after I picked the rom I want to flash) I can tell it to bak up the current rom before installing, if the rom doesn't support EXT4 I can tell it to super wipe everything to EXT3.

My main reason for switching from CWM to 4ext was the simple problem with the phone not staying powered off while plugged in. After using 4ext for a while I've realized it's the little things that we over look that make it worth using. The fact that I can batch install an entire OS, gapps *if desitred*, the extras, all after backing up the current rom, wiping everything to the extent that I want it, be it system only, or everything. Then let it boot normally and start up like new.

This one and Titanium backup are my must haves and it took a lot of thinking before I broke down and got TB.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
I get it in Pocket.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] major_works:
+1 again. The paid version of 4EXT is a bargain if you flash stuff often. Likewise, it's one of the few apps I've bought.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Just to confirm, this is the same behavior I've seen all along with these "blank" issues. It's not the entire app that's blank, just certain areas. As you say, must be something to do with how areas are rendered vs non-rendered areas. Mail headers are there and visible, but the message body is blank. In FB, I see the top blue bar and the 2nd row with Status, Photo, and Check In. Everything below there is blank. If I scroll, like force-refresh, the data (text, pics, etc) show up momentarily.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It's the areas that are rendered with html5 and the webkit. They are blank because they aren't being lobed properly. Click the menu icon in the top left of facebook and you will see the content appear. It's there just not visible.

Rounding the last corner on fixes before I have a full build to start working on.

Titanium Backup and Ringtone issues

Hello All,

I’m on the 12-06-12 build of the ROM and I’ve got two issues I’m hoping someone can help with.

1.	Titanium Backup Pro shows all recent backups with errors when I do a verify backup. Is anyone else experiencing this and know of a fix?

2.	Not as serious, but irritating. When I assign ringtones to some of my contacts (sync’d from Outlook), when one of the contacts calls, it defaults to the system ringtone. The second (sometimes on the third ) time the contact calls it will use the assigned ringtone. Suggestions?

3.	I’m also still experiencing “ <process_name> is not responding. Would you like to close it?” error. Is there a fix for this that I missed in the forum?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jerrya:
Cant help with one or three, but I am getting #2 every now and then. Except, mine will go from an old default ringtone, to my new christmas one, and then to the one assigned the caller.

I think its fun trying to see which ringtone I get!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] markmi300:
:D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FletchF:
I've also seen cases where the notification tone will be the wrong one (or vibrate only when it should have a tone). I haven't been able to detect a repeatable pattern. It's fairly rare, but it does happen.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
You can do the exact same thing on TWRP for free with Goo Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
[Thunderbolt Android Development] markmi300:
Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Well the first compile was a complete bust. Didn't boot and no adb. Haven't decided if it's the kernel or the system though. Now to try the same changes on the old build and see if that works out any better.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbornack:
I love the running dialog.. LOL
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jfp2004:
Minor glitches aside, this is definitely one of the quickest/smoothest ROM's that I've run on my phone.

I never used to like non-sense ROM's, because despite it's faults, I'm a fan of Sense and it's integrated widgets/programs. Third party alternatives and skins have progressed enough that it's not that much of a difference anymore. And being able to have the ability to overclock on an ICS ROM on the Thunderbolt is really great.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where you take future builds!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Well something in the changes breaks everything. Neither version boots.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deesto-xda:
Ha, I was wondering WTF 'bonus' meant ;) I'm sure you'll figure out the problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Worst case ill have to do one patch at a time. That'll be fun.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well I'm sure you'll figure it put you've had worse.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TRU3L3GEND:
Anyone know if there's a trick to get a VPN working? Cant seem to get it to connect
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Almost done another build. Fingers crossed...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Sweet good luck can't wait for it hopefully it cures some of the problems your trying to fix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nawzlew:
Anyone else getting reboots? I haven't had one all day, but just had two in a span of 5 minutes.

Loving this so far though. Phone is sooo smooooth
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
A page back there are a bunch of posts about it.

Webkit is messed up but swapping the lib everything else was running like it should. Still no netflix on this version but hopefully that means fixing webkit will fix the other version since I used the same one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Nope no reboots but mine has dropped WiFi a few times. Its found it pretty fast though. The only other issue I've had was my phone stuck on 1x the last few days which might explain the battery drain.

Would that explain the Facebook and email issues?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
I had the reboots as well. But after cleaning the cache and dalvik cache, then fix permissions, they stopped.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That was why I switched them initially, but I forgot to even test that lol.

Edit: Well, facebook now works ;)

Edit Pt2: And after updating Gmail that works, too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Yup there was that reboot everyone mentioned.

Edit: so i managed to have it reboot while toggling LTE funny thing is that I can't we to recreate it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
How do you test it since it happens at random?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stickperson:
Hey everyone. Hate to ask such a noob question, but do I have to do anything special besides wipe/clear cache before installing? It has been a while. I'm currently running Android 2.3.2, SkyRaider Zeus 1.3. Not sure what radio.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That's all
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jerrya:
Since were on noob questions, heres one. Earlier this page someone mentioned they fixed thier random reboot by clearing cache and dalvic cache. Does that wipe data off the phone (contacts, messages, etc?) I am currently fixing permissions, but thought as long as clearing doesn't delete contacts and apps and whatnot, then I will do that as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
No it wont you would have to wipe the data in order to do that. You're safe
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jerrya:
sweet! Thanks guys, you all rock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Twisted, the ROM he's currently running is HTC "stock" based and Sense. I'm quite certain he needs to wipe more than "cache". If he was coming from a similar AOSP-based ROM, yes, just wiping cache and Dalvik would suffice. Not here though....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stickperson:
Sorry, I also meant to say do a full wipe. I'll FlashCW mod, reboot into recovery mode, nandroid backup, wipe cache + dalvik, do full wipe, install rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
He should probably wipe boot as well but it may work with just a data, cache and dalvik wipe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Looks like Facebook may have changed some things(no more html5), which may/may not result in Facebook working again on this rom.

Just thought I would drop that info here: LINK
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Think its safe practice to just wipe everything when going to a new rom. Less chance of having residual stuff from the last rom carrying over.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
I'm on the combo radio and I haven't had a reboot with the newest.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I read it as wipe and not wipe or. The brain is a little preoccupied. I've got a class project due and the compile keeps lagging the computer when it hits certain points. It's too late to go back and turn down the processor count so it's a game of wait, type code, wait, type code. On top of it we aren't allowed to use xml layouts and I can't afford another 10 point deduction just to be lazy.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbornack:
Came in here to say the same.. might be worth checking this out before spending any more time on fixing it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
Well, I can't imagine that your instructor would not be sympathetic towards your philanthropic efforts for the Android hacking community. An extension on the due date for you project is really the only logical, humane concession to your quest to keep us clutching our EOL antiquated devices. :)

Yeah, I didn't think so either.....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I got a zero on my first project because it exceeded the scope of the class. He agreed to review the decision based on the rest of my projects. The worst part is this will be the worst grade i've received so far and it's an android class. Bye bye 3.8
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
No need for me to post same info about the FB update then... :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stickperson:
Last noob question- how do I install the extras?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
Gotta love irony
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Flash it like a rom in recovery. The ui is touch based.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

I know the feeling to a point. My C++ teacher was good with C++ but bad as a teacher. Luckly most of us were in the same degree plan. We had time in other classes to do or work. The funny thing is I got sick two chapters before the final so I missed arrays and one other chapter, but Luckly I had a 100 in that class so missing those two chapters didn't hurt too bad. What passed off my class mates was between those two chapters of no homework and the final making a 75 I passed with a B. She did leave me a note. Something like, "next time only program what I ask."

The Final consisted of a written part for 50% and two coding parts 25% each. I only wrote one program.

I'm going to miss college though, so much fun pretending to be computer illiterate while doing my work. "I ain't never uses one of these here puters before." was my all time favorite line. :D

Back on topic though. I say get your work done then worry about the rom. Your Education is more important than our waiting on a rom. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stickperson:
Hmm, but where do I download the extras? The only link I see on the front page is for the rom itself.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
I sometimes think teachers gets mad because maybe the students shoes they know more than they do and it pisses them off.

Good luck on your project and don't worry about your rom. Education should always come first. That's what will pay the bills with a good job.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] major_works:
Click the line in the OP that says "Extras, Error Reporting, Etc."
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Wargzam:
Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting a data connection. I've tried toggling airplane mode, dropping to CDMA only mode, toggling data...no luck. Any advice?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
He is interesting. He is a good professor, but very focused on feeling like we learned something. I think it bothered him most because it was continuing previous work. It showed I didn't focus on what he was teaching. Either way, whatever makes them happy. I just want to get through it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
I hear you on that. What you have done in here shows you know your stuff. Heck you gave us a working ics rom with no data on the bolt beginning about this time last year. . Your teacher should take a look at your hobby lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stickperson:
Having two issues at the moment:

1) Messages in Gmail not showing up. I'll open the message but can't see any text. Updated to latest version but no change.

2) Swype closes every time I boot up. No text predictions/corrections when typing either.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bradg24:
Gmail problem try force closing the app then it should work. You do that in the manage app page. (Hit menu on the main page that is the quickest way )
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stickperson:
that worked, thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Easiest way is to uninstall gmail and download from the playstore. Should fix that for you.

I don't think swipe works with this rom. I think I remember others commenting on this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jerrya:
I haven't had problems with swype. But the swipe keyboard that came with the ROM rocks better than swype
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The issue seems to be not displaying that much experience yet. It's a valid reason, it just sucks for my GPA.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jfp2004:
Swype occasionally works, and it occasionally doesn't. It's not exclusive to the Thunderbolt though. Based on what I saw on Swype's forums, people have been encountering issues with the keyboard on CM-based ROM's. You can try uninstalling and then reinstalling it - that fixes it for me, though there's every chance that it will happen again in the future.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crackedvenom2:
Swype doesn't work for me. Lots of freezes and taking forever to pop up. Went to Swiftkey flow and haven't looked back
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Just use the newest stock Android keyboard it's awesome!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] socalslim:
SwiftKey Flow beta is pretty sick too. Works like a charm.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Webkit is still borked, but I swapped the old one in before the zip was made, so hopefully that worked. Uploading now. Not much improvement, but some minor fixes like new Gmail, facelock is back, and the TTS support files are updated.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gammaxgoblin:
Nah it started out solid but then it becomes plagued by the same problems as swype. The prediction isn't as good as swype. The only keyboard that doesn't have lag in aliasing sometimes is the stock keyboard without the sale Dunton. I correction brought to you by swift key flow.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I use smarter keyboard pro with the t9 board. I have to correct occasionally but overall it works well enough. I never liked the swipe concept. I spent more time fixing it them typing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jfp2004:
I've gotten so used to Swype that it's hard to adjust to anything else. Either way, Swype is aware of the issue and it's a high priority issue according to their forums, so there's that at least.

Looking forward to the new build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
+1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Hopefully WebKit is fixed soon keep up the good work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
Twisted, thank you for all the effort in this rom. I know you have a list of things you're working on, have you had a chance to look at the market issues with the lean kernel?

Edit-and maybe that's not the main issue, just whatever is preventing apps dl'ing from the market.

Thanks

Dan
[Thunderbolt Android Development] weasel1:
great work. No problems for me so far.

thank you
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbornack:
Had a bunch of problems after clean flashing the new build.. went through the gamut of all the old favs one night.. Eternity, JellyBlur, etc. Just couldn't stand having the old look of things.

Came back to a clean 12/6 build. ZERO problems in 3 days.

Must have been a fluke.

The ride has been wonderful friends. I'm jumping ship for a GS III finally, but will check in out of curiosity now and then to flash what will be my emergency phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] [SP]JESTER:
Hey guys just dropping in to show my love once again. Hopefully im not forgotten. I would make a JMOD of his latest. But my bolt is in jail, literally (Friend borrowing it broke his parole). And my motherboard on my desktop fried itself. So may be a bit before i can make a come back and really do anything big. Thought id let u know what was up tho. Can't forget my native android home :) All i got now is my laptop so i may can tinker and get something made. But ill have to get back to you on that one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Thanks for dropping in :) The new Netflix looks really nice it'll be cool when it works.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] [SP]JESTER:
Lol dont have netflix still so i wouldnt know :X
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ABN85:
Has anyone had any luck using a custom image for a nav bar icon? Just curious cuz settings forcecloses on me every time I try.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
The new kernel is running really good in this build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
The the reboots stop in the newest build?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
I don't know. It actually took me a few days before I had any of those problems.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I needed that. I haven't literally laughed out loud at a post in a long time. Well at least about the phone. Fried boards suck. I know that feeling all too well. You are far from forgotten and always welcome.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crackedvenom2:
Phone shows to be running smooth. Hopefully it'll continue
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Hows data less drops? Or bout the same?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Twisted, I'm sure you expected this but just to show others.

I can live with that though. Also I haven't had ANY issues with Facebook but with the recent app update making it awesome once again I have no idea if it was fixed by twisted or if they changed something in the app that fixed it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crackedvenom2:
Haven't been able to play on it too much yet as I'm at work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] socalslim:
Lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It's a combination. The webkit is still flaky but chromium was updated. The app tales advantage of that but removed the part that failed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deesto-xda:
I'm about to flash yesterday's build. I noticed my radio in the previous build (12/6) was working but seemingly about at half the rate it was before (I was getting full 4G at my house previously, and with 12/6 I only got 2/4 bars; same with wifi signal). Is there a separate radio recommended?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
You may want to search the thread for that one. It has been covered EXTENSIVELY.

Btw for anyone saying HTC should release source for anything (kernels, camera, etc), you may want to review their slogan: "Quietly Brilliant". Although, if they already lied about brilliant...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deesto-xda:
I know, I know, sorry ... I did search a few times first:

http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=113171439

Best guess after that was that the .19 radio or the "combo" radio would be best, but there hasn't been a strong recommendation for either in a while so I thought I'd ask. Also, the baked-in radio with your 12/6 ROM seemed file for me, so I was wondering if something changed.

I'll just give the combo ROM a try. Thanks.

EDIT: sorry, I meant the version before 12/6. I'm running 12/6 now, about to flash 12/13.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Tallica21:
Sorry but radios don't get baked into any Rom. You have the radio you've had since you last flashed a radio.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
It's been fc'ing since liquids first build. It's not you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
You're talking about the baked in kernel not the lean kernel in the playground?

I've been following that discussion with half an eye.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I think something is being lost in translation?

It's been a couple days so ill post it:

Change your statusbar signal to text or enable 6-bar. Both seem to be more accurate then 4-bar
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deesto-xda:
I flashed one OS ROM (not a radio) and had a max of full radio capacity (4/4 bars); I flashed another version of an OS ROM and had a max of half capacity (2/4 bars max at any time). Unless coverage capacity was somehow permanently (or semi-permanently) halved in my area, something else changed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
See above. The reading is broken not your signal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
When a phone vendor does release source code, it may or may not include anything that's hardware-specific, does it ? Just because they "talk" to the kernel doesn't mean it's automatically tainted and made GPL. Look at nVidia - they do NOT release hardware source code for Linux. There's other, of course, too.
