If people have a problem with the jokes. Don't take it out on the CM team. It was my idea to deal with those over zealous people.

sigh... I only clicked on it 5 times....
[Thunderbolt General] Smoothcrm7:
I have ADW Ex and Launcher Pro plus. I mainly use launcher pro plus just because the widgets, I like having a friend stream type thing and now that you can find themed widgets its a little nicer.

I mainly used ADW EX when there was a particular theme i really wanted to use because right now it definitely has the most themes. I also switch to EX when i just want some change.

I'd say in terms of speed they are pretty similar. I am however holding my breathe for the launcher pro rewrite and hoping it gets uber fast

hope this helps!

Thanks for all the launcher input everyone! I really appreciate it :) back on topic now ;)

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Alright, back on topic... So last night Slayher put many commits on Github, including something about data handling. Does this mean that this can be used by others to build an unofficial CM7 that includes data? If this is the case... Then we might have some interesting developments over the next week...

As far as texting goes, I could care less. Texting is blocked on my account as I use Google Voice...
[Thunderbolt General] xxxdroidxxx:
Can't wait for this.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
I think that commit might have just been a back end thing, it didn't have anything to do with the ril. So for now we just have calls and WiFi. Once ril is merged we will have cell data as well, and then we will have a complete ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Okay... Thanks for the clarification... So when we talk about merging the ril, we mean so there is a uniform way so that it doesn't break other devices, which I'm guessing is part of the quality control which makes CM so great... Now... I don't think Slayher has all of the devices to test... So what do you think the procedure is? He sends in his code. The MGMT tests it on other devices, then reports back with outstanding issues? And by looking at Github, what commt would a casual observer be looking for that would point to the fact they got this particular ril issue working?
[Thunderbolt General] trendsetter37:
I'm pretty sure he can test on virtual devices using eclipse and android sdk

[Thunderbolt General] bilbobrian:
I was just going to post that...we can only hope. :)
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
Oh snap.
[Thunderbolt General] Nobody's Hero:
I am running a CM7 build that has everything presently committed on github (typing from it right now). RIL is not merged yet, so no data. Voice is good, but no sms/mms, which uses the data connection. Wifi works, so GV is good as long as you're connected.

Overall, it runs very well. I have only noticed a few very minor quirks. I can't comment re. battery, because without data connected, any observation is useless. In all, as soon as RIL is released, the ROM is easily good for daily driving.

I wish I could get my hands on the RIL package to run on a custom bake until Slayher gets the problems it causes for other devices fixed for mainstream release. Patience, I guess...

Edit: looks like I was a slow typer and several other comments have already been made, sorry to be redundant.
[Thunderbolt General] winklethemoose:
I'm pretty sure its nothing for the Thunderbolt, feels like it is to soon.

Thank you Slayher

Anyone having problem syncing your google account with CM7? It's able find my account but not able to connect to the server. I just download the zip and flashed using rom manager was their anything else I need? Radio...?
[Thunderbolt General] jab818:
Cyanogen is faster than I had expected. I'll keep updating my phone and when it stabilizes I'll put it on the wife's phone. Til then, who needs GPS on two phones?

Also, Donated. Thanks guys!

DL worked for me... even though it is pre-alpha, it runs really fast thanks to gingerbread. Can't wait till it gets updated to the new radio, then it'll be my daily driver.

HTC Mail

I would have posted this in the official thread but since I don't have enough post I could not.

Is there any way to get the HTC mail app into CM7? The ability to move emails to another folder is the only thing I miss from Sense.
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
Anything sense will not work with CM. sorry
[Thunderbolt General] brannong:
Thanks. I really don't understand why that feature is not part of the native mail app. Anyone have other suggestions besides K9 and Touchdown?
[Thunderbolt General] phillycreamboy:
Just get touchdown. Its awesome.
[Thunderbolt General] MrKleen1:
Couple things you need to do: You can turn on wifi and then open Rom Manager and go to downloads and install Gapps. After you do that you will then be able to sign into your account and get all your apps back from the market.

If you don't have data all you need to do is turn it on. Go to your phone and enter*#*#4636#*#* then click the top option. Swipe the screen down to the bottom and select cdma auto. After you reboot you will have solid 3g.

Then enjoy!

gps and 4g still need work, but you will have lots of fun with the rest!

P.S. I had previously updated to the leaked radio and Cyanogenmod works just fine with it. I did not flash back to the old one, and everything worked great. (except for that which is known not to work)

Over at the official thread there is all the info you need to get up and running (early in the thread), but there are lots of guys that are not taking the time to read. For now be happy with solid 3g and have fun with the rom. When the issues get worked out with 4g Slayher will let us know.
[Thunderbolt General] Speeddemon007:
Wow, awesome! On the leaked radio and everything that's supposed to work does. Kinda miss gps... but it'll be my daily driver until everything works perfect. Thanks to all hard working devs!
[Thunderbolt General] jaredt2:
You might want to try Enhanced Email from the market. The developer is here on xda, is very responsive to any issues you might have, and its half the price of touchdown!
[Thunderbolt General] brannong:
Thanks. I might do that but for now I going to chicken out and go back to BASF Remix 1.5. I depend on this phone too much for business to not have the GPS and consistent data connection. Once it is a little more stable I'll be back.
[Thunderbolt General] tonyk@stlblues.com:
Enhanced email

I have been using Ehanced Email for some time and it is awsome compared to the Sense Active Sync and even Touchdown. It uses the native contacts and Calendar. It also intergrated the GAL in where Sense did not without going into your contacts. this is the greatest feature. Very good app. I highly recommend you try it if your syncing with exchange its very good.

Thanks slayher and toastcfh for a great ROM!

Thank you guys for your hard work and awesome coding (you too mrweeee). I've been playing with the CM7 builds since ThunderKang came out and think I'm now ready to retire my old Sense based ROM.

I was so excited when I got my Thunderbolt, and when I found out there was no cyanogenmod I about sh##. You guys (and the other ROM/kernel developers) make having an Android phone worthwhile.

This may be true, but if you look at CyanogenMod's github page for the HTC Mecha (Thunderbolt), slayher just did a Commit about 35 minutes ago with the comment "mecha: cleanup."

I don't know about any of the other developers out there, but I dont usually clean up code until I am towards the end of the development life cycle.
