[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeardedMann:
You are looking at it kinda wrongish. There is Gingerbread, but then there is Sense added to it. Gingerbread Sense 2.1 behaves a lot different than Gingerbread Sense 3.5. When you start to Frankenstein ROMs, things break, regardless of the Android version. Hope that makes Sense :silly:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
Personally, and this is just my opinion:

My ICS rom (NuSenseROM) works as intended and about as good as anything we might be lucky enough to see from HTC and VZW.

The only thing that could truly improve things at this point, would be newer/better radios and kernel source.

Everything in my rom works, wifi, bluetooth, tether, 4G, camera, vid cam, mms etc,..

The only issue remaining in my eyes, is the occasional data drops.

But to be quite honest, I don't know if that will ever get better, as I feel it's more network related then it is device specific.

I experienced similar drops even on GB.

I have read way too many reports of similar issues on many VZW phones, so I don't think it's specific to our phones/radios/Ril as much as the community may believe.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I agree with santod on this. Our ics roms are great and will only get better with source. As for data drops, I think this is a direct result of Verizon using 4g extended as a way to say they have the largest network. Actual LTE works much better and data drops much less ofte..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pantallica:
I also agree

I agree as well about the data drops and verizon's service period.... i live in Arizona and only phoenix and tucson have 4g in this state so i cannot say for sure on LTE but where i live there are 2 cell towers here. i live bout a half mile away from one of them and my signal is solid always but i get data drops almost every time i try to do a larger download like lets say a rom or even like angry birds and always with music.... and every phone ive had has had that problem so i am questioning verizons quality of service among other issues with them.. my last phone was a samsung stratosphere and as far as i know they never released the RIL for it but i did use it on the 4g and it had LTE and it was awesome and for the small amount of time i got to enjoy it i didnt have a single drop but i also found a spot that was maybe 15 or 20 feet away and it would go to 3g and even 2g and nothing but issues ...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
I honestly haven't experienced data drops with your ROM, my issue is battery life being substantially less than GB ROMs, specifically Virus' Eternity ROM.

While this may be another case of every Thunderbolt being different, I'm hoping the official kernel will give you another chance to tweak settings and increase battery life, until then I'm forced back to Eternity 8-4.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrghushakaboorga:
I think if you are looking for an AOSP/AOKP experience, I would say that GB is currently much more stable. I am currently running Twisted's ICS and there are a few kinks, but overall, it works as a daily for me. Especially with the huge amount of work put into it. If you need something that is no fail though, GB I would say is still more stable, and ICS is not yet 'as intended'
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeardedMann:
Yeah, NuSense is the way to go. Data drops are just the norm. I've had it on every ROM I've flashed. In the beginning, 30+ downloads were great, but now 10ish and data drops are the norm. Been on 4G since it was first up here in Bakersfield.

But, I'd say SkyRaider or NuSense. Or new phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
It's a shame, I used to get 20-30Mbps when LTE first came out, now I get around 5-10Mbps average.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
Well it's not so much just the data drops, I simply mentioned that since it is the most noticeable thing. I'm currently using NuSense, and while it's great and all, it still has "issues". It's these issues I'm looking to avoid. For starters we all know Sense is a bit crippling on the thunderbolt. Afterall it is an entire GUI front end on top of android itself, so naturally that is going to cost some performance. But more importantly it's the overall experience. I notice things like Chrome has some display artifacts when scrolling at times. Apps load slower due to so much memory swapping taking place to keep Sense in ram. Sense itself sometimes has to reload when you've done too much in the background.

Like I said, it's the experience. I like snappy roms that behave as you expect them to. So I was just wondering with GB being officially supported by HTC, if most GB roms tend to work flawlessly. There's always going to be issues with these leaks, and I seem to always be going from leak to leak without ever actually settling on a nice stable well vested rom.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Not all GB ROMs work flawlessly but many do. If you want a basic GB ROM I have had very good luck with Thunderstick BareBack which is a de-sensed GB ROM, you might like it?

Thanks for the link, I'm actually demoing BAMF SoaB right now and it seems to be offering what I'm looking for. It's very fast and very responsive, especially for a sense based rom. With all the roms I've tried on this phone, I still always get the warm fuzzies when I load sense back up. So far I'm really loving this rom, even if it's a tiny bit outdated. Quality is more important that features to me right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebasuke:
I've had my nexus for about a week.. it was on stock when I got it so I rooted and started installing ROMs.. no matter which ROM I try audio through speaker doesn't work.. I took the phone apart just to check on things and nothing seems wrong with the speaker. Everything except for the speaker works.. I guess my question is what should I do to determine if its software or hardware?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saiftheboss7:
Hi guys,

I had been keeping up with the CM9. However, I had been busy with my study for the last couple of months. So couldn't really make time for XDA. When I came couple of days back I saw CM10's development is going on with full swing. I've a couple of question. I'd be very happy if someone answers. :)

1) What is the main obstacle now to get a fully working JB?

(last time I saw, it was HWA. However, Motorola's leaked ROM maybe solved it. Am I right?)

2) What is with the kernel?

(What is a closed source kernel & what is a open source kernel? I didn't hear anything like that before. Some days back there was also a leak for Atrix 2. However, they didn't complain about it. What's going on with it? What would happen if we had the kernel with a specific source?)

I'd be very happy if someone explains me. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
In short. We have leaked libs and kernel but problem is that all roms based on it have bad battery life, screen tearing, heating... Because same libs works with another phones, we suspect that the problem is with with the kernel. Closed kernel means that we can not change it and solve bugs. If we get source of kernel, ICS and JB is more likely. What I know, some guys is trying to port kernel from Xoom.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakoch2:
I'm new to this, I haven't used a different kernel yet except what is included in the ROMs. Heard overclocking can have effects on the digitizer, etc.

HOWEVER I'm using CM10 epinter's, and it

Works great - except for a few games and graphical applications. Gotta try it to see what works and what doesnt.

Battery life is getting better and better. I can go a full 24 hours with medium use.

All radios GPS WiFi work great.

Camera works fine.

Camcorder doesn't work. This was the biggest reason I was going to return to gingerbread until I found 3rd party app for video recording.

That may not be the technical answer you need but it's just from my experience.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okty2k:
there are several points to consider:

1. you want only the apps or also their data? if only the apps, the task is much easier, just check on the market for apps that can do backup.

2. if you also need data, than you must be careful. search deeply and choose wisely, especially if you plan big move (GB to ICS, ICS to JB). I found out that some apps don't work very good in cases like this to restore data. personally, I would backup with several apps, to be sure (and avoid your getting 'killed').

3. I think, but not 100% sure, that also the Samsung PC sw (Kies) can make backup and restore of apps and data. ;)

Greetings. So, I installed [Rom][Unofficial] JellyBean (CM10) VZW (Updated Nightlies) ROM -- cm-10-20121024-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw.zip is the file.

When I booted, the phone said it was not approved by Verizon and wouldn't boot. Did I grab the wrong file?

Any help would be great. TIA!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emckai:
Did you unlock your bootloader? You need to be unlocked to be able to flash any type of ROM nowadays.

Basically what you'll need to do now is use odin to reflash back to stock and then root, unlock your bootloader with ez-unlock, install the recovery and then you can flash by using CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkSirius:
I didn't know about the ez-unlock... so maybe my bootloader isn't unlocked. Here's what I did: I found stock / rooted verizon software (from here: "How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3, Verizon" on youtube since I can't post links...) and used Odin to upload that. I then installed CWM as my recovery so I could backup and restore my settings along with installing custom ROMs.

But I didn't do ez-unlock. I'll look into that. Thanks :)

I agree with you but don't thing Google is "at the mercy" of LG. It is google who decides when, why and where the device goes on sale. If they are (and they SURELY are) aware of these hardware/software problems, it'd be their responsibility to choose a correct market date to ensure all the "youth problems" to be solved by that time.

What's the matter? Do you know how software or hardware works? Operating Systems need not explicitly support every N-core CPU platform, where N is any number.

As for me, I think that this whole performance-run in the mobile space has to end sooner or later. Like intel's mhz run did end. We're constantly flooded by new CPU's, new SoC's and new graphic cards that perform better than previous ones at idle, but when things get in action, it's a different story.
[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
On the Nexus 7, CPU cores by default using the old hotplugging method I believe caused compatibility issues, along with lessening battery life due to the high-rate of core's turning on and off.

Plus (and I have no idea about this exactly), if a non-quad core app was ran, when all 4 core's weren't active, it would only see however many cores were active at the time, and use only those cores? I recall someone with a Nexus 7 saying that GTA III ran slowly by default, but when they forced all 4 cores online, it ran smoothly. No idea how it would be on a Snapdragon CPU though...
