+1 we should have official release threads where no one can post but the dev.

Can't wait till it comes out tho.
[Thunderbolt General] theyownus:
well said. while i am as anxious as the next guy and cannot wait to get cm7 i agree 100%. Great work devs
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Once again I can compile only idiots can't compile. I have every ril but data
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Booyah.
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Supporting thread lock request.
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
But you obviously can't write your own RIL. So seeing as how you can't do that, just be quiet and wait for the people who can write the RIL to get it ready to release themselves, when it's damn good and ready.

I wouldn't call people who don't know how to compile something idiots either. I would call them people who aren't familiar with programming/software development. That statement alone confirms your own ignorance.

People who don't know how to write their own RIL and ***** about other people not releasing theirs the instant it's done are idiots. :p
[Thunderbolt General] manningfan10:
got 'em!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] :
I'm for locking this thread
[Thunderbolt General] FoxRacR17:
They will release it when they are ready, if you are constantly looking back to see if something for YOUR PHONE is released then you need to take a step back and have good long look at the priorities in your life. Go to the gym, get a girlfriend or do anything to better yourself rather then sitting at the computer and *****ing that a piece of software hasn't been released yet.

[Thunderbolt General] slim6596:
The people complaining about CM7 not being released yet would be the first to yell when they find a glitch if the ROM were released before it was ready.
[Thunderbolt General] Tidbits:
Those same people should start to think. If they don't like it then they should do it themselves. If they can't then they would wait.
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
I think it will be well worth the wait from what I can tell, let them work out ALL the bugs before release
[Thunderbolt General] merc248:
There's always bugs. IMO, it'd be better for them to release the code in a separate repository, and have the dev community help fix the bugs faster, with no guarantees that it'll get merged into mainline CM7.
[Thunderbolt General] didda:
Man, all this hype. Y'all have me stoked to flash this thing.

I spent the last two years on a 3gs, and jumped ship for a Tbolt last month. After fumbling with sense for a few weeks i started looking for other options. First thing i found was CM. CM here, CM there, CM everywhere! Except on the Tbolt lol! If it lives up to the hype, I'm happy to wait. Even if it doesn't fit my needs, big props to the developers for taking the time to make this stuff. I'll be donating either way. Until then I'm using VirusROM, and I gotta say I'm pleased with it. One thing's for sure, I'm glad I'm outta apple’s litterbox.

Patience, folks. Goozfrabah...
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Slayher just posted that the camera now works 100%! Thats a major plus!
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
That would lead to more problems than solutions.
[Thunderbolt General] didda:
Blizzard. Valve. Guns 'n' Roses. Just a few outfits with that "it's done when it's done" attitude, and for good reason. They've never disappointed.

OK, maybe not GNR. Ye gods, i could have done without that last album.

CM7: Cyanogenmocracy. *shudder*

Speaking of dead babies, anybody know if CM7 will allow the homescreen to be LOCKED in landscape mode?

Seriously, I don't think I've ever anticipated an OS this highly before. Don't anyone tell Skyrim...

I'm feeling a release maybe on Sunday! My gut is telling me that...I hope it's right!

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt General] merc248:
Lots of others put out a crappy version 1 and iterate quickly instead.
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Ok. So seriously, its sad that when I get bored and have nothing to do I sit on these forums and check every post about CM7 to see if there is any updates.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Same thing I have been doing for the last week and a half. Literally 5 times an hour. I have no life.
[Thunderbolt General] solographics:

That's hilarious! Of course I couldn't quote your message because I have less than 8 messages. Strange.
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Btw thanks to whoever had the bright idea to jinx us so we don't get a release today! :P
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
How do you know?
[Thunderbolt General] Bateluer:
Patience is the name of the game here. :)
[Thunderbolt General] jebrand:
Yes!!

Can't wait for cm7 on the Tbolt!!! donated!!
[Thunderbolt General] slayher:
Just want to drop by and say thank you for the support!
[Thunderbolt General] LexusBrian400:
Can we have a rolling total please? How close?
[Thunderbolt General] JFMFT:
Donated! Didn't have much to donate but I figure anything helps!

Hope this all works out =D
[Thunderbolt General] Irish Cream:
This... how close are you? are you buying ON or OFF contract?
[Thunderbolt General] ajftl:
I can.see no LTE for at least 6 months. Just like when the evo came out
[Thunderbolt General] NeutronBomb:
I'm no expert on this kind of thing but I could have swore I read around here somewhere that LTE support wouldn't take as long for CM as WiMax did because Qualcom released the source for the LTE stack or something like that??

Someone who knows a little more about this please jump in, I'll try to see if I can dig up the place I read that. It may have been someone talking out of their ass for all I know but it sounded pretty legit.

Edit: yeah it was someone saying that they sent Cyanogen a message on twitter and he said that Qualcom released the userspace for LTE so as long as HTC doesn't **** it up it shouldn't be much of an issue.

donated !!!!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] slayher:
Looks like we are up to $232.00 And this is for Off contract.
[Thunderbolt General] meyer77:
Donated!!! CM7 on Thunderbolt is as good as it gets right now!
[Thunderbolt General] ke3qz:
Donated....come on CM7!
[Thunderbolt General] tgwaste:
Can we get a total amount donated so far?
[Thunderbolt General] workshed:
I'm going to be working with Slayher as soon as I can get the device also, but will need the communities help, too. I have to pay full price and I'm about $140 short. So If you're in a position to help out, donate to both me and Slayher if you can.

Thanks a ton!
[Thunderbolt General] libraryclg:
Just donated!
[Thunderbolt General] jsimanella:
Donated to both. Thank you.
[Thunderbolt General] slayher:
I have gotten what I need for the Thunderbolt. I no longer need donations for the device. Thank you to everyone for the help, It comes very appreciated!
[Thunderbolt General] karnovaran:
Excellent. I'm happy so many people are on board. This beast will eventually have a healthy development base like the Incredible.
[Thunderbolt General] mjon13:
Worth every penny and more. Donated!
[Thunderbolt General] workshed:
Ahh! I'm still way behind :( Good luck.
[Thunderbolt General] Captainkrtek:
I also will be making cm7, just need $90
[Thunderbolt General] MrKleen1:
This guy is claiming to release a rom this weekend based on Cyanogenmod 7 with full function. He wrote on the 13th that the links would be put up this weekend. Of course this weekend is quickly coming to an end.

Check it out... not sure if I believe him:

adam-hawk.blogspot.com/ Since I have less than 8 posts it won't let me correctly post the link. So please put the appropriate htt...p and www . before the above.
[Thunderbolt General] PlankLongBeard:
Just Checked, It Looks to Be Legit and All We Have to Do Is Wait.. I am Praying to Have MIUI and CM7 Support for MY Thunderbolt. It May Be Click Farming As Stated Below!

I've been testing the G2X in the past few days Since I Work for Big Magenta, well whats left of it, and I will admit.. the thunderbolt runs circles around this Tegra. The tegra is much more efficient on opening apps and etc.. but the bolt flies in any direction..

I think the tegra is just a Hype.. IN MY Honest Opinion... don't buy this phone unless you ABSOLUTELY need HDMI Mirroring, Cause it Offers Nothing Else!
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Sounds like click farming to me...
[Thunderbolt General] MrKleen1:
Wow very sorry about this post but I just went to a different thread and it would not allow me to even post a response due to not enough posts. While I understand to some degree I've been a member of this board for about a year. So please disregard that I've wasted space solely for the purpose of post count.

Not only this, but I went to post elsewhere again and I got this message: "To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed."

I am finding it very difficult to become a member and enjoy myself here.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Looks pretty legit IMO.
[Thunderbolt General] mbh87:
Yeah definitely not legit. No other devs have the working RIL.
[Thunderbolt General] starscream86:
I say its BS. Yeah he's waiting for CM to release so he can post his DL link lol hmmm fishy

Sent from Thor's hammer in a bolt of lightning
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Like most devs he is probably waiting for the ril to throw in then release it. He wouldn't be the first.

Also who says slayher is the only one creating the ril.
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
Yeah, I agree... if it IS legit, he was probably just jumping the gun saying HE has the working RIL, and perhaps he expected it to be released this weekend and would incorporate it into his release.
[Thunderbolt General] djkeller3:
I know! The only tweets I care about come from Slayher and Cyanogen. That's it. And I am constantly checking XDA and some other forums for CM7 updates. This is driving me CRAZY but it's all gonna be so worth it to finally be able to flash it!

Gonna be hard to hit the sack tonight with no CM7. :(
[Thunderbolt General] mbh87:
Nobody, but have you seen anyone say otherwise? toastcfh was the one got it working for the most part anyways I believe.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
No but if I didn't have slayher on twitter I would have never known anyone was working on it. I dunno just holding out for slayher anyways since his work seeks to be top notch.
[Thunderbolt General] Pioelhombre:
Alternate ROMs

While we're waiting, do any of you have some alternative ROMs that are working well with the Thunberbolt? If so, what do you like about them?
[Thunderbolt General] Killershade:
Tried Virus and Bamf. Both solid and I can't really notice a speed difference. Its really a preference thing. Spend some time with your phone flashing roms and kernels to see which one reacts to your phone the best.
[Thunderbolt General] MrKleen1:
I have tried Tesla Coil which is a more stock like feeling rom, but I am now on Das Bamf. I will be sticking with Das Bamf until Cyanogenmod drops.

As stated it's probably best to try some out and form an opinion because one thing that is certain is that everyones opinion differs...

The one thing that bothers me is that I am not able to restore any roms in CW. All I can do is continue forward. I make backups but they all fail md5...
[Thunderbolt General] dmzxls:
I have Tesla 1.5 on my phone. After disabling a few services which I believe were consuming data in the background and uninstalling a bunch of HTC apps, my battery is doing surprisingly well. (Battery has been my main concern)

I unplugged this AM at 7ish, and now, at 12:30, I have 85% battery remaining. This is quite wonderful given that two days ago I'd be going nuts trying to charge it.

Once CM7 is out, all of the other garbage/bloat from HTC will be gone and I am excited to see how much better the battery does.
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
Do you think we are getting any closer???
[Thunderbolt General] rizzomegav:
Camera -> mms is the newest says the Twitter.

[Thunderbolt General] cf81:
Follow @LayherDaddy. This is slayher's profile.
[Thunderbolt General] jcortes187:
Okay Thank you. Been refreshing hoping for something new every second. I cannot wait for CM7 on my TB!!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] Pioelhombre:
How do I know which ROMs will work with my TBolt? Is that something ROM Manager governs?
[Thunderbolt General] MrKleen1:
All of the T-Bolt roms will work with your T-bolt. They have nothing to do with Rom Manager. You can install the rom directly from Clockwork Recovery and also do backups. Actually Rom Manager doesn't show any of the roms that are available.

Just pick which rom looks like what you want and install from Clockwork Recovery.
[Thunderbolt General] TheeAssassin:
Cant wait for CM7 on the TBolt!
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
I'm thinking its going to be like 2 weeks yet.
[Thunderbolt General] mbh87:
Thats possible or it could be today, or tomorrow, or 2 months. Nothing to do but wait.
[Thunderbolt General] djkeller3:
I'm getting really antsy for some kind of true AOSP-based ROM I can flash in the meantime. I like VirusROM, but can't get away from the Sense-based dialer, contacts, etc... using it. I don't want to flash something that is basically * unusable*, but I don't mind putting up with some *bugs* if it means I can run true AOSP.
[Thunderbolt General] PlankLongBeard:

Thunderbolt!!!
[Thunderbolt General] trebb:
What don't you like about Sense dialer and contacts? I kind of like Sense contacts better than AOSP. I like how it automatically links everything
[Thunderbolt General] TsaiKimon:
The Sense dialer bugs the crap out of me. Maybe I'm missing something as the Thunderbolt is my first sense experience but I can't paste a number into dialer.
[Thunderbolt General] dacre:
The Sense dialer is cute and all, but I just don't think it's as snappy as the AOSP dialer. Same with the Sense lockscreen (which thankfully is easily rectified by just deleting the file for it). Sense always feels clunky to me — it might even just be psychological, but I never perceive it being as snappy as AOSP.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Kinda like AOSP, but ****tier?! The link on Sense also occurs to a certain extent on AOSP.

I hate that the Sense contacts have some stupid option to store contacts on the phone. I always use GMail. Like AOSP.
[Thunderbolt General] Bxsteez:
Could't agree more!! So freaking annoying.
[Thunderbolt General] vlen22:
So do I

Not only sense contacts annoy me, but I feel that the sense isn't as smooth as ASOP.
[Thunderbolt General] smalltownbird:
You know if you guys search the forum there is an update.zip that installs aosp contacts. I think it is in the thunderbolt themes forum. I'm using.it with virus rom because.i hate.the sense dialer too. I can never find anyone in it.
[Thunderbolt General] elmuchodroido:
I have to agree with you. I hate that the default isn't save to Google. I've lost a bunch of contacts from flashing new ROMs because of the "save to phone". -__-
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Well how is everyone doing? Withdraw yet from not flashing aosp lol
[Thunderbolt General] jason6g:
i can hardly wait! was playing with cm7 on a frieds evo and it was very very nice
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Just so i can kinda of understand what's going on. We are waiting on the ril merge correct? I understand that it is the radio interface layer(according to what I've found) I just want to understand more of how this relates to my thunderbolt. If anyone can enlighten me in their mindless refreshing of this page.
[Thunderbolt General] lije927:
I can't wait till this gets ported over. I'm new to Android with my Tbolt, I'm interested at all the hubbub surrounding cyanogenmod.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Too be honest it will be awhile. The biggest problem is getting the rils to work with none lte phones. Remember all phones basically use the same source from cm
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
No RIL = no data.

AFAIK the RIL is basically ready. The hang up is ensuring the Mecha build is compatible so that it can be an official CM build. Currently, the RIL merge will break stuff for other supported devices... this is a bad thing and is being worked on.
[Thunderbolt General] mbohde:
Is there any source where progress can be viewed? I'm desperate to rid my phone of this sense induced headache.
[Thunderbolt General] djkeller3:
I thought that each phone model supported required a slightly different variation of CyanogenMod so that it would be *custom* for that phone model. Do I understand you correctly that the *official* build would be transferrable from one phone to another so therefore it needs to be *compatible*?
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
While there are separate non-interchangeable builds for each device the short easy answer is that all of the builds share a unified framework and kernal at least, which is what is breaking all of the other devices.

Edit: I'm tired and could be wrong about the framework part?
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Ahh this makes much more sense now. The part I didn't understand was that it was breaking other devices when installed. Cause I swore like 20 pages back that 3g and 4g were working. So I was trying to figure out what they were working on.
[Thunderbolt General] a32guy:
Can't wait for this, sense is killing me! Loved CM7 on my Desire Z NAM, til it fell apart. :(
[Thunderbolt General] jcporter80:
You can watch the CyanogenMod github page. It will just show you what code is being added.

"https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_mecha"
[Thunderbolt General] Hemorrdroid:
You do know there are roms that are Senseless now right?
[Thunderbolt General] OldManJames:
Senseless is a misnomer. Sense is still very much there. There's only so much you can get rid of or cover up.
[Thunderbolt General] Hemorrdroid:
Right, but i figured if sense was "killing them" then they were probably still looking at it plastered on their homescreen.
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
I saw that Layher had put commits or something of the like for the Thunderbolt, sorry if the verbiage is incorrect, and many people were excited about this. What exactly do the commits mean as far as getting nearer to having AOSP on our phones? Thanks in advance if you can clarify for me...
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
It's great news. The think they found a way to merge it and have it taken out by the xompiler. So it's optional
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Thanks for the fast response, papi. Here's hoping for AOSP sooner than later.
[Thunderbolt General] davidkim99b:
can't wait for this to happen
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Judging by Layher's twitter comments, he's definitely not asleep at the wheel, and its good to know we have a capable and hardworking dev working on this for us. He was asking koush about a kernel or something, not sure but it's related to his work with the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] jmiller98:
Just an fyi, Slayher was on twitter a little bit ago asking koush for a kernal for cm7. He is working hard, so lets not bug him for etas.
[Thunderbolt General] Tidbits:
Completely agree. When its finished everyone can download it. Let him take the time to do it right. I know probably 80% of the people bugging him will also be the first to complain about bugs.
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
I agree completely with the two posts on the last page..
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Woohoo! Can't tell the developers how much I appreciate their hardwork can't wait!

Programmer in training! beeyah!
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Agreed I know I got impatient but I remembered how bad my dx was so I can wait for a true aosp rom. I'd follow ChevyNo1Droid too. He's doing work too
[Thunderbolt General] jmiller98:
Do you know what he goes by on twitter?

Edit: nevermind i see it. DUH
[Thunderbolt General] ph0tios:
I hope the battery draining issue in CM7 doesn't carry over to the tbolt. When I had my incredible it was a little rough, but not as bad as some people were claiming.

Even if it is, they will be able to fix it. No problem.

The 1st rule of Cyanogenmod is you do not ask for ETA's

The 2nd rule of Cyanogenmod is you DO NOT ask for ETA'S

[Thunderbolt General] iflip:
I'm a sense lover because I like the way it looks. Its very cosmetically pleasing. The dialer and contact apps are what keep my liking it. It looks futuristic. Aosp looks outdated to me but it performs very well. I'd like aosp more if there was a sense themed aosp metamorph or build.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
It's like xp and Vista basically. If you want performance and stability stay with xp. If you want looks and such go with Vista. That's how all computer based things are simpler means faster. Or well better coded means faster.
[Thunderbolt General] thebaltes:
I love sense, but I love being able to sync a wiimote for gaming more.

It has been a long time since I had my Droid 1. The last time I had Cyanogenmod, version 6 had just come out. Those that have used version 7, is it tremendously different?
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
CM6 was Android 2.2

CM7 is Android 2.3
[Thunderbolt General] Ovrclck:
I'm with you on this!
[Thunderbolt General] stoli412:
I feel the exact opposite about it. I can't wait to have AOSP dialer and contacts back!

To me, AOSP provides a cleaner more intuitive interface. Whenever I use Sense I always feel like it's cluttered, overdone, and cartoonish almost.

Not putting anyone down for liking Sense, I just think it's so funny that people have complete opposite reactions and opinions! :)
[Thunderbolt General] solidunit:
There are themes and apps that look similar to Sense. I use DialerOne and Beautiful Widgets for example. But yeah, there are a few apps I miss, like the HTC camera, the HTC Gallery, and the HTC Clock/Stopwatch/Timer apps. Meh. I'd rather have the flexibility and speediness of straight CM7.
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
I agree 100% and then they move settings and rename menu's wtf? gtfo sense
[Thunderbolt General] Thrillhouse847:
Big +1 to this. Cartoonish is the perfect word to describe it...maybe not as much so as TouchWiz but still bad.

I'm using what is pretty much an exact replica of the clock through Fancy Widgets Pro. The skin for it is called H7C Clock. Hope this works for ya :)
