[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Seems like the only thing not done is data which will be the, longest and hardest. Writing a ril from scratch is an itch. I give it 2-3 weeks before we see it.
[Thunderbolt General] adamd1169:
They won't.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
CM7 is also based off of gingerbread unlike most of the 2.2 roms out now.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Hey, they have the FM radio working at least, lol...
[Thunderbolt General] SubliminalME:
Yeah, FM radio is pretty important. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] GutterIsATool:
At least it's data! -2G FTW!
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
First off there is no 2g. Second it isnt data. There is a FM transmitter built into the phone but again still very important.
[Thunderbolt General] GutterIsATool:
Not much of a sense of humor with this guy. The minus sign indicates "negative." Meaning less than zero G. Also, I do believe that FM transmissions are one of the earlier forms of wireless data transmission, but I could be completely off. :eek:
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Sorry not trying to be an ass just see 2g thrown around like crazy. That is quite humorous as we work our way up to 4g =P
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
FM receiver, not transmitter...
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
I was wondering that...Not that FM transmitters work well unless you're completely isolated from the rest of civilization...It would be cool to use in a pinch.
[Thunderbolt General] GutterIsATool:
It's all good. I actually had 4G turned on here for about 10 minutes this morning. Was fun while it lasted.

...but oh...um Cyanogen rules! (see how I got it back on topic there)
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
I don't think you guys get it. RIL is pretty much the only thing stopping cm7 from coming out for the thunderbolt. I read he pretty much has to rewrite it to play nicely with AOSP

There is no "only 3g" and "no 4g" its just data. "All for one and one for all." If one dont work, they all dont work.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
I use a MOTO roadster speakerphone in my car, has an fm transmitter and works great. I get full rich bass while streaming Pandora.
[Thunderbolt General] Adrozz07:
Soooooo excited for this.

Blundered from my Dunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] DS36:
also if you follow @punkkaos you would know that there is nooooo support for LTE in AOSP. so yea there are building data from scratch and thats some heavy lifting
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Glad to see so much going into this as it is the onpy thing I am waiting for to complete my thunderbolt experience. Seems like they are getting closer and closer every day.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Didn't they have to recreate the ril for the evo and mytouch 4G then?
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
Pretty sure there is a diference between lte and wimax 4g
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
I'm just happy to know we have some capable and hard working devs working on this. I am confident they will do everything they can to get CM working on 4G LTE as this will pave the road for development for other future 4G LTE devices
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
HOLY F**** GUYS CYANOGEN JUST TWEETED HE SAID 4G IS WORKING?
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
I just saw that too!! Can't wait for stock baby!!

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt General] 760hacker:
Saw that also FTW!
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Lol I seriously have to donate this time, this is unbelievable
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I'm so happy hahaha
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
slayher retweeted the tweet so its probably legit.

Edit: 3g is confirmed working too!
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
All data is a go. We should have it by the weekend. No eta just my guess
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
If he releases ANYTHING tonight, I'm flashing it, even if its as broken as ***
[Thunderbolt General] ltbakken:
Now.....it is time to root.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
We probably won't get anything tonight. They need to make sure it's stable. I mean stable as everything is a go
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
Woohoo both 3G and 4G working !!! .
[Thunderbolt General] djkeller3:
I knew last weekend they were getting close, so I rooted hell or high water, I had to just get it done, as intimidating as it was, only afterwards realizing it really wasn't difficult, you just have to get acclimated to using ABD and Terminal if you don't routinely use these tools. I suggest to all - if you have not rooted yet, ROOT NOW. I would expect CM7 for Thunderbolt to drop any time now, and when it does, I will be among the first to install it on my beautiful, rooted Thunderbolt. CM7 is the ultimate ROM / operating system - bar none.
[Thunderbolt General] gcantrell:
Is the data switching issue that alot of us have been having (IE: data dropping in well connected areas, etc.), oh and the camcorder audio issue, is that something that can be corrected in a custom rom like cyanogenmod or is there still some work to be done by htc/verzion?
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
They could release it as a release candidate. Does this mean Bluetooth and gps are probably fixed now as well?
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I'm a basic aosp guy. No add ons. Just battery tweaks
[Thunderbolt General] rotorocker:
fantastic news, one of the main reasons I bough the TB. It's going to be a beast on cyanogen
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I think gps is a no go so far but will be easy to fix as aosp already supports it
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Awesome... Planned on donating but unexpectedly was sacked from work today (not related to my flashing addiction, i promise), however, I'm going to break my piggy bank to scrounge for a donation , I'm so happy to hear all data is a go.
[Thunderbolt General] wotdsm:
Rooting the t-bolt is just tedious. I would say it was just as hard as rooting the EVO 4G.

So excited that progress is being made on CM7. w00t. Tesla coil is holding me over for now but it's definitely no CM7.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Well I want my Miui too. This just changes everything so many roms to come
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Woooooooooo!! One small line of code for cm7, one giant leap for the tbolt community.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I wish I knew more so I could decide if I should stay up hahhaa
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
MIUI and CM7 have to be the top two roms. I'm so friggin excited
[Thunderbolt General] wotdsm:

[Thunderbolt General] Clmcm400:
woooooooooooooooooooooot.... good news from the twitters... can't wait.
[Thunderbolt General] rizzomegav:
Neeeeeds it!

this is not a signature I type it in every time maybe sent from my phone or my computer

That'll do pig
[Thunderbolt General] jaskru:
hellz ya!!!!!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] Smok3d:
i have never tried any of CyanogenMods stuff but from all this stuff I have been reading about it, I am literally giddy inside from hearing all this good news!

[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
Finally i can ditch Sense like the dirty little hussy she is!!! Needs me some AOSP!!!
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
I'm thinking the same thing

-sent via 1.21 giggawatts of android.
[Thunderbolt General] Ovrclck:
haha yeahh baby!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Well I'm going to calm down till a rom is actually released
[Thunderbolt General] cypherx82:
The anticipation is killing me.

The few hours I've spent with BAMF have been great, but CM7 is just too awesome.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Sticking on Tesla Coil 1.5 ffor now :P
[Thunderbolt General] :
awesome!

finally! thanks for all the hard works! Bravo for developers!
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Slayher has just posted a few pics of cm7 running on his tb. Thought you guys might like to know ;)
[Thunderbolt General] tgwaste:
oh man...

http://twitpic.com/4k80ad
[Thunderbolt General] djkeller3:
Oh geez... one look at that pic and I can't stand it. I pick up my Incredible from time to time because I love CM7 so much. I don't know how many of you in this thread have used CM7 (or any other version of CM), but all I can say is once you do, there's almost no going back to anything else. I mean, there really has to be some kind of problem with your device (or your brain) to not LOVE it!
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I know I'll get crucified for saying it but a always like ud better. I know all about the fighting but he does have differences.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
I came from an Incredible as well. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF DAYS GUYS!
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
Your right. wimax is wimax. Its like cmda 4g, and 4g for the mt4g is gsm 4g while 4glte is gsm, i think, it uses a totally different type of radio.

I just wanted to clear this up, but who cares

WE GOT DATA WORKING!!!

same here, which is why i like aosp. its simple
[Thunderbolt General] jamesfrom818:
My body is ready.
[Thunderbolt General] Nunoriffitti:
WOOOOOOOO

So flippin excited about this... I have been waiting so patiently, but now this is getting to be too much...lol :eek:
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
I don't think we'll know until CM7 drops as at this point no one knows if it's a tower issue or a ROM issue. :-(
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
Same here! This is actually the first Android phone that I've ever purchased BEFORE CyanogenMod has been available for it and Sense is killing me! :-(
[Thunderbolt General] Ryanmo5:
Same here, other than htc flashlight and htc music I can't stand sense! MIUI and aosp will be welcomed additions for me!
[Thunderbolt General] :
So once we can flash CM7, do we need to worry about updates from Verizon or HTC? Or will CM7 take care of them?
[Thunderbolt General] rizzomegav:
The cm team post updates daily in "beta" and release stables every few months.

CM7 pulls cm not stock updates.

Ie: don't worrie

this is not a signature I type it in every time maybe sent from my phone or my computer
[Thunderbolt General] n0thing2bdone:
i notice a lot of people are reluctant to lose the sense camera app. is it really that much better?
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
There are aspects I like and dislike about both cameras (Sense and AOSP). It is all personal opinion really.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Yea,people like me,I rarely use the camera. I could care less what camera app I have
[Thunderbolt General] :
What are the pros and cons? I don't remember the AOSP one enough. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] LSUstang05:
+1. I love CyanogenMod. I ran it on my old N1 that I had about 2 years ago. I most recently ran CM7 on my recent Droid Incredible and absolutely loved it. Can't wait until we get CM7 on the thunderbolt. VirusROM has been great, but once CM7 comes out, I'll be dropping VirusROM like a bad habit.
[Thunderbolt General] th0r615:
N1 has been out 2 years? News to me.
[Thunderbolt General] houseboatwayne:
He's back from the future to steal more open source code.
[Thunderbolt General] Pioelhombre:
While we are all waiting so patiently, would anyone mind answering some questions? Upgraded from Droid 1. My camera sucked! Any movement caused pic to be blurry. TBolt takes awesome pics! I've taken clear shots of my kids jumping on our trampoline (which I will partake in once CM7 is released for TBolt). Is that because of Sence, or because the camera rocks? I want to maintain an awesome camera if I flash CM7.

Also, any of the built in apps for Tbolt, will they be lost once I flash CM7? (eg Flashlight)

Will I have problems with my MMO authenticator?

For rooting my TBold, should I use the Cyanogenmod Wiki, or is there a better place to follow directions?

Thank you much!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] LSUstang05:
Eh, year and a few months I guess. It just seems like I had it a lot longer ago than I actually did :p
[Thunderbolt General] LSUstang05:
Any of the apps that come stock with the TB will have an AOSP version in CM7, for the most part. I think they call the flashlight app "Torch" in CM7. I will say this, Torch on my DInc gives me a MUCH brighter flashlight than the stock Flashlight app that the TB has on it. Both are dual LED so I don't know if it's the app or the LED's themselves.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
The sense camera app has touch to focus. The CM7 camera app will focus right before taking the picture or when holding down the "take picture" button. Personally I think it the CM7 camera app does a very poor job at focusing. It seem like if you move the phone just a little in the long process of it focusing and taking the picture it comes our looking bad. The sense app allows you to focus anytime then quickly snap the picture. Thus the margin or error is less.
[Thunderbolt General] stoli412:
I agree. CM6 had touch to focus and a lot of other nice features. Not sure what happened to them in CM7 but I wish they could come back.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Mainly personal opinion and your preference for different settings. Some people prefer the look/feel of the Sense camera and others prefer the AOSP flavor.

I like a lot of aspects of the CM camera but wish that some things from Sense were included. I cannot pinpoint the exact features, but I feel like the Sense camera runs a little smoother when focusing and taking the picture. But I like the AOSP for overall look and feel.

Either way, I am sure the Sense camera APK will be yanked and able to be used on CM7.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
So any knews on nightlys or them releasing ril. I know other rom makers need it and there roms will be completely done.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Yeah i seriously would love anything either a nightly or a rc! :D
[Thunderbolt General] mwarch01:
Hey guys, I just got a Thunderbolt and its my first smart phone... I know this may sound like an insult, but what is a CM7? Everyone seems to be pretty excited about it! I am learning about ROMs and the other high tech things you can do to these phones. I would appreciate any basic knowledge anyone has to explain what this could do. Thanks guys!
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Its basically a ROM that offers some of the best features and stability. They support many,many devices with an unlocked bootloader. We haven't been able to get CM7 on the Thunderbolt because of data not working,but yesterday we succeeded.

Check our cyanogenmod.com.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Rc by Sunday is talk on irc
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
As soon as the RIL fix is merged, you'll get one. ;)

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_mecha/commits/gingerbread

Keep an eye on that page. When you see a commit for RIL, expect a crackflash build to be posted somewhere in an hour or two. Unless they hold off on merging it for an official release, which they might do.
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
Most of the time I have experienced NO updates from vzw after I flash any rom, and im pretty sure you wont see this when you get cm7. Unless you turn on notifications for updates for cyanogenmod. those are the updates i like :)

I agree. I wish we could turn off the damn sound on the camera in AOSP. Too bad you cant merge them together keeping the AOSP skin for camera buttons and stuff.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
This is very very possible... because it is the pivotal point right now between a non-functional and nearly-complete ROM.

They understand that once the RIL is committed to GitHub it will open the floodgates of people crackflashing. They may not be ready for this influx until further internal testing has been done by Slayher (and others).

Also, once the RIL code is posted a ton of other AOSP ROM devs will kang the sh*t out of it... and then try to release their ROMS as quickly as possible. Maybe the CM guys wanna be the first AOSP ROM on the scene.

Either way, I can be patient and wait for it. No problem. :D
[Thunderbolt General] :
What is "mecha"? I see it mentioned a lot. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] Russ36363:
Mecha was just the internal code name for the device before the official Thunderbolt name
[Thunderbolt General] phillycreamboy:
So quiet today on this topic. Any word on the street about the progress?
[Thunderbolt General] stoli412:
Over in the dev forum, there is talk that it might be a while before the work on the RIL gets merged because it breaks all other phones at the moment.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003008
[Thunderbolt General] otto888:
Hmmm..... Couldn't he just make a fork of CM for now or try to contain the RIL code to the TB vendor(this may change the way TB builds,might cause more problems)
[Thunderbolt General] mbh87:
could they, yes. will they, doubtful.
[Thunderbolt General] stoli412:
They don't fork CM. If it gets forked, it then becomes an "unofficial" build (like for Galaxy phones).
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
We need to start getting so more excitement going here!
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
We shouldn't jump up and down yet. They won't release it till the ril is compatible with all other devices. That can take weeks. They should release the rils for others to use.
[Thunderbolt General] jasoninator:
I for one cannot wait for this, though I know they have to figure out how to properly merge RIL. I thought it would be several more weeks before RIL even functioned though, so I'm betting sooner rather than later with these guys
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
We could have had an aosp rom by now if cm would have released code but they want to be the first which everyone knows is important as more people will download the first aosp then the last
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I would just fork it. Who cares if it has to be called unofficial.
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Throwing us a bone would definitely be alright by me.
[Thunderbolt General] :
I'd think an offical version would get more support in the long run. I might be wrong but id prefer and official version.
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
I would prefer an official version also, just think it be cool get get a taste of it to. Just like seeing a trailer before the movie comes out.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
What I'm saying is fork it but still call it official. Slayler is part of cm. Not every code will work with every phone
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
I agree. To each his/her own of course, but I'll wait for the first official build even if a forked version or a version from a different dev comes out.

Also, I've been using CyanogenMod since day 1 on my G1 and trust me when I say that they have a good reason for not merging the code yet. It's most definitely not some egotistical wanting to be the first type of thing...
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
I agree completely with the above post. Lets be patient, everyone. We've got capable devs working hard on this. All good things in all good time.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Why not release code to others? Let someone else use it
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Dude chill out already, you've been complaining every day...they'll release it when they're ready
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I'm not complaining if you read. All I am asking is why they wouldn't allow others to use it
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
Probably because there is still work to be done on it. And yes, you seem to be whining about them not releasing it yet.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
No the ril is done but it breaks non 4GLTE devices.
[Thunderbolt General] MrKleen1:
I am very excited for the release of Cyanogenmod for the Thunderbolt!

Version 6 had just come out back when I had my D1, and I've missed it ever since. I left my Droid X for the ability to enjoy "real" roms again.

I hope it won't be too long till it drops...
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
HAHHAHAHAHAHA

Back on topic, Just flash Virus's rom. Its really clean, and works really really good. Till cm7 comes out for our phones. I was considering still running this rom a little bit longer even after cm7 comes out. Its really nice!
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
I agree with above post. Virus rom is very smooth and stable...
[Thunderbolt General] trendsetter37:
I can agree with you. This suppose to be open source right? I mean they are technically not required to release the source code to a finished product until it released so I will not rant and rave about it; but i do agree that if it was merged before the release more devs could help out.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Everyone really just needs to relax and not worry about it. They can work at their own pace... and they are honestly working damn fast (for needing to re-engineer the RIL).

The anxiety and anticipation has been built up so high that people are becoming impatient and acting like they deserve something. If you think you deserve something, then do the work yourself...

Once you become a developer then you can decide the timeframe of your releases. Just because something is open source does not mean it should be released before development/testing is complete.

I hate that people are being demanding. This is why many developers do not interact with the community in regards to the "status" or "ETA" of features, ROMs, or other projects... because once they say one word they can never live it down. :rolleyes:
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Wooooo! Bring on the Mod! Keep up the good work guys!
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
Correct. The dev's don't owe us anything. Just be glad they are doing it at all. If it were me, I'd tell ya'll to do it yourself and not release it. But, I guess that's why I'm not a dev.
[Thunderbolt General] tgwaste:
im sorry but this is not completely true. these devices are very expensive. a lot of these devs (including the ones working on the tbolt) have received donations that bought them these expensive devices. if they do not want any accountability (so to speak) then they should not ask for donations.

this is reality.

having said that..

they do work very hard on these matters and THEY DESERVE our patience and understanding while they do their work. People like slayher have a FULL family to take care of and do this in their spare time. again, he asked for money, it was given to him, so he does OWE something for that, but on HIS timeline. not ours.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I just want the ril so I can make an aosp rom
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
So do what they did and write your own ril if you want it now.
[Thunderbolt General] Stevez48:
what is RIL?

Edit: found out.
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
This is the kind of garbage that turns good devs away from the ROM community. This is also why you won't see a lot of them actually frequent these forums, because of crap like what's going on in this thread.

They're working their asses off in their spare time for free. Get over it.

"Well if they have a working RIL they should release it IMMEDIATELY RIGHT THIS SECOND SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN JUST TAKE OVER AND RELEASE AN AOSP ROM RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!"

Give it a freaking rest. Open source doesn't mean pushing out updates the second the code is written.

The code will be released when it's ready. Stop asking. Stop nagging. Stop whining. If you don't like it, go learn to program yourself and write your own RIL and compile your own AOSP ROM. These people know what they're doing. If they didn't, they wouldn't be doing it. Just shut your mouths and let them do their work, and when it's ready, enjoy it and thank them for it.

IMO this thread and any threads like it should be locked. It's ridiculous. This happens in every phone subforum for any major thing going on. A bunch of whiny, impatient, ungrateful (even if they say they're grateful, their whining shows otherwise) people bickering about why they can't do exactly what they want with their phones RIGHT THIS SECOND.

It's pathetic. Stop it. Go flash a ROM that's ready right now, and sit back and use your damn phone for a while as it is.
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
Yes!!
[Thunderbolt General] JaymzTA:
I would like to thank all the devs for their hard work! Can't wait for this to come out! Right now im running Das BAMF 1.4 and loving it :)
