i just flashed cm7 on my sisters mytouch 4g and im very impressed. the phone was a pos before now its soooo fast. it has nearly the same guts as the bolt, nearly...so the bolt will be unbeleivable with cm7...cant freakin wait!
[Thunderbolt General] contractcooker:
So excited

My TB arrives tomorrow. I'm pretty pumped at the possibility of flashing CM7 tomorrow. I know it's not for sure but sounds like tremendous progress has been made already. The following seems much larger than the myTouch 4G and I think that's because verizon has so many more customers :) I finally have the best phone on the best carrier WOO
[Thunderbolt General] meirg:
I've been on CM on my MT3GS for a while now and I loved it. That's the only thing the Thunderbolt is really missing imo (sense ui makes me miss CM soo much). Thanks so much for working on this, can't wait for the release!!
[Thunderbolt General] Joeviocoe:
I really miss my lockscreen music control and gestures.... also, the volume music controls.
[Thunderbolt General] fibby:
This is my first phone rooting experience and have run into some trouble with the directions quoted from the cyanogen wiki.

I got the firmware downgraded to 1.03.605.10 and was on the section for Flashing the Engineering HBoot. After pushing the relevant files to /data/local and running psneuter (restarting adb as root), trying to run wpthis resulted in a segfault. I triple-checked that the md5's of everything I downloaded and pushed over were correct and that I did the necessary chmods on all the files. I also checked under Settings->About phone->Software Information to confirm the Software number is indeed 1.03.605.10.

Anyone run into this or otherwise have any idea what's going on?

Edit: I tried from a different set of instructions off of androidpolice. The md5 of the wpthis file was different from the one linked on the original guide I was following. This time it worked (no segfault) and I'm currently flashing the custom S-Off firmware.
[Thunderbolt General] contractcooker:
So, any way we can get a status update? I am not trying to rush anyone or be ungrateful. I'm just curious to know what the outlook is.
[Thunderbolt General] qwirked:
ME too, can't WAIT too dump SenseUI in the dumpster like a prom night baby.

Woot!!! #CM7 Just booted on my #thunderbolt. Filled with bugs, but amazingly stable and oh soooo smooth!

***This was his twitter update, about an hour or so ago....
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
More updates:

LayherDaddy Tony Layher

@CUViper I meant by stable, no FC's etc, buggy i meant no radio, gralloc was messed up, and no sounds lol

LayherDaddy Tony Layher

Data and voice at the same time is oh so nice on the tbolt
[Thunderbolt General] krickatthedisco:
LMAO that happened at my high school. Check out the wiki page on melissa drexler, she lives in my neighborhood and shes effin crazy, walks around shoprite with a toy baby stroller with a doll in it.
[Thunderbolt General] :
Hi everyone. I'm very new to android. This is my first android phone and I successfully rooted it in under and hour (woot!). When CM7 is officially running and supported on the thunderbolt, will we be able to use rom manager to download it? Again I'm very sorry for the noob question. I'm coming from an iPhone so I have a LOT to learn.
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
yes, as with most devices once CM7 is stable and released for this phone, it will be available for download in rom manager.
[Thunderbolt General] :
Wow, that's really convenient! Thanks for the reply. I'm loving my phone now and I've heard it will only get better with cyangenmod.

[Thunderbolt General] ciwrl:
Hiya folks!

So a lot of you have been asking for a status update, and on behalf of the entire CM team, here's whats up as of tonight (for those of you who may not know, for credibility's sake, I'm head mod at the CM forums, and a member of teamdouche).

1) Donations in this thread go directly to Slayher

2) RC2 was precompiled the day before s-off was attained (just to give you some insight into how much work Slayher has put in)

3) Initial delays were with Clockwork Recovery having issues with data wipe/format, this has since been fixed, and the recovery is live

4) The RC2 I mentioned HAS been booted onto hardware, and I can say that CM + 700+ RAM = joy :)

That's a summary of the past few days.

As the ROM has been booted, Slayher and Cyanogen are working on smoothing out the 'rough spots'. As mentioned above, gralloc was not happy (gralloc controls the graphics, in layman's terms). Cyanogen, having done a lot of Android work, is quite comfortable in fixing that, so it'll get fixed rather quickly.

After that, focus will shift to libaudio (sound) and the ril/data. LTE support is planned (and no, not with the delay that EVO users had to deal with). Thankfully, Code Aurora has open sourced a healthy bit of LTE code, so its just a matter of making it all work as a cohesive package.

For those of you eager to test (or just run as far away from sense as possible), the ROM will likely NOT be public till we kick off the nightlies. That said, for those crackflashers, well, you know how to get your early fixes ;) I will say though, follow @cmsrc and watch out for 'mecha' sound and radio/data fixes pre-flashing...if you value your phone as an actual phone

Thats about it for now, I'll try and post more later. As always, source is on github and our gerrit instance is up to show pending commits.

Edit: I seemed to have overlooked a few questions. RM support will come once the ROM is nightly-ready or RC3, whichever comes first. For those having issues with the root instructions on CM wiki, they are essentially the same as those jcase made available, and we are looking in to the md5 variance reported.
[Thunderbolt General] alleykat2561:
Thanks for the update!
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Awesome update ciwrl! :)

I cannot wait to see what the devs have up their sleeves for this device! Glad to see Cyanogen helping with the gralloc issues!
[Thunderbolt General] ciwrl:
And just like that, Cyanogen has fixed the gralloc issues

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,4106

Told ya it'd be quick ;)
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
Awesome! Thanks for the update!
[Thunderbolt General] contractcooker:
thanks for the update. Can't wait to start crack flashing (hi gridlock!! I had a MT4G when you were pushing out builds like crazy for it)
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Great news. Things are progressing very quickly! :eek:
[Thunderbolt General] pnd4pnd:
i know this is probably sacrilege around here, but will there be a version of CM7 with Sense? i kinda like sense and the email program that comes with it.

thanks,

eric
[Thunderbolt General] fallingd0wn:
There will never be an official CM verison with sense. Unofficial....maybe.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
Cm is aosp

Sense is not

So therefore sense cannot be cm no.matter how hard u try
[Thunderbolt General] ajftl:
Love cm7 but hate camera app...
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
CM7 is built off of AOSP. No, there will not be a version of CM with Sense.

I am sure there will be plenty of custom ROMs you can try out... some which will be based off of the stock ROM (Sense).
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Sad to see that HTC did not release the kernel source for the Thunderbolt (mecha) today... but they decided to release the source for plenty of other devices. :mad:

I assume this hinders/delays CM7. Boo!
[Thunderbolt General] MechaMorph:
Sad thing is they're technically breaking the GPLv2 aren't they? I thought they were required to release the source the same day as the device/software?

Can't wait for CM7 on the Tbolt. Phone feels naked with CM on it. :) CM made my old Droid rejoice every time it was loaded. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
as much as I love CM, the only thing I miss right now from my last CM rom'd phone is volume button control of the music player.

we already have lock screen music controls.. and almost everything else I wanted CM for.
[Thunderbolt General] uncouth13:
I ran CM on the original Droid and loved it. Sadly, couldn't do that with my DroidX... Now that I'm on the TB, I'll be watching this thread with great anticipation. Donation on the way, thanks guys!
[Thunderbolt General] fallingd0wn:
I'm aware of that. But it is possible to add Sense elements to an AOSP ROM. Enomther did it for the Nexus One adding some HTC bits to his AOSP ROM. It does seem to be a pain to do however.
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
Yeah, I'm actually pretty fond of the camera app that came with the TB. I definitely plan on pulling that apk and putting it back on my phone after I install CM7.
[Thunderbolt General] ShanDestromp:
Not a lawyer or a GPL expert, but I know with the Samsung Galaxy line of phones (Particularly the T-Mo Vibrant) the general consensus was it had to be within 60 days of the official release of the device / software; so even when HTC releases the source, it'll be .6, not .9; since .9 is a leak (as of now anyways; I keep hearing rumors that its an upcoming OTA update but even if it is; they have 60 days from when .9 goes live officially and approximately what, 52 days remaining for .6)

EDIT: Oh, and one more thing; unless it was changed in GPL v2 or v3, they technically just have to make the source available upon request; which doesn't inherently mean "post it online." If they wanted they could never publicly post it anywhere, and only provide it to people who make formal requests. IIRC this was standard back in the 90's; you write the company asking for the code, they mail you a disk back with it.
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
Haha, I just read a story on a blog recently where HTC told someone or some group that requested a new kernel source that they would have to wait 90 to 120 days, and then a few days/weeks later an actual dev from HTC asked for kernel help on a Linux forum and they told him to ask again in 90 to 120 days and until then he was on his own! :-)
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
try a rom without sense. you will love it, get beautiful widgets, and launcher pro plus. there ya go you now have sense in 6mbs

will this work?
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
I haven't really spent much time looking into the phone yet, but unless the camera app has some integrated ties to Sense, it shouldn't be an issue.
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
any chance that could be done with the flip clock from sense?
[Thunderbolt General] singhdevan:
YESSS! I'm on the way home to my new Thunderbolt right now and I can't wait for CM7!
[Thunderbolt General] kdb424:
So let me get this straight. I'm sitting here on a crappy sense rom when I could be on an amazing, graphic issue filled, unstable cymod 7? CRACKFLASHING TIME! *breaks out GCC*
[Thunderbolt General] richB7:
Virusrom is already out and has no sense
[Thunderbolt General] kdb424:
I'm running it, but it still has sesce issues (I have 160 DPI hacked in and the drop down bar is original size, so it's tiny as heck on high dpi.) along with other broken things. I've been a cymod user since I bought my inc 3 months ago, and bought my TB knowing t was coming. I like living on the edge, and submitting usage reports to them to help out.
[Thunderbolt General] Jimmy058910:
This might sound dumb, but the 'Senseless' VirusROM... isn't it still Sense based?

To my understanding there is Sense and then there is AOSP, and assuming this isn't AOSP I thought it's still 'backed' by Sense with elements/features taken away.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I love learning and am new :D
[Thunderbolt General] kdb424:
basically, yes. AOSP has a different settings, default apps, and tends to work better at a high DPI (as sense wasn't made for that, and it's not really their fault)

I'm looking for a way to get this compiled in it's current state, but having troubles as I probably need proprietary files and am not sure which ones to pull, as I'm not running cymod like every other source build I've done.
[Thunderbolt General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
i used CM from the second it was available on my droid and loved every second of it, but I like the debloated sense i have running on the TB...if i use any rom besides this basic debloat one on the TB, it unfortunately won't be cyanogen...
[Thunderbolt General] Jimmy058910:
DPI as in dots per inch?
[Thunderbolt General] contractcooker:
Anyone willing to take over for ProTekk

Hey all,

Seems as if ProTekk is having personal issues and can no longer release builds for those of us wanting to crack-flash. I know GrdLock has experience with this and probably others in this thread. I was wondering if anyone would pick up the torch. And yes I know I am lazy for not doing it myself :cool:

Anyway, the thread is HERE

I'm expecting nightlies soon after source is released (come on HTC do it already :)) but still would be nice to get in a couple weeks sooner.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Someone already began a thread yesterday and "picked up the torch" ;)
[Thunderbolt General] tgwaste:
got link?

..........
[Thunderbolt General] gifferjesus:
Hello friends, I shall be receiving a Thunderbolt on Monday, and I can donate a little cash your way if you ever feel you need more. I run CM7 nightlies on my Nook Color, and would gladly run it on my Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
So are we still getting Cyanogen on the Thunderbolt ? , i do hope so because that one of the main reason i gave up my DX .
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
there is a thread but its closed as the thread doesnt actually have a rom yet.
[Thunderbolt General] manningfan10:
I'm really looking forward to this
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
Same here! I've got my TB rooted with S-Off and waiting until CM7 to port my number and start using it!
[Thunderbolt General] kdb424:
I have already personally built CM7 for my TB. It's really not any different than any other build, though it has absolute 0% support for any type of data (can't call text, use wifi, 2g, 3g, 4g, ect) and other minor issues. It looks as if the port is almost done, we just need the kernel sources for the TB from HTC to got something amazingly stable. COME ON HTC!
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
I figured that's about where we were based on the original posts regarding getting the sound fixed et all.

Care to share what you've compiled? I just need a fix man, 1 hour is all I need. Come on man, don't hold out on me now!
[Thunderbolt General] kdb424:
I would, but my VMware is acting up, and what do ya know, that's where my dev stuff is haha. In any case, just check the development section. There are 2 people with builds done/upcoming. With no radios, it's literally about useless on a phone though.
[Thunderbolt General] khanam:
.9 is a leak? It came installed on the phone that was sent to me.

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
Any update as to when the first ROM will be dropping? :-) so glad to see multiple cyanogen ROMs coming!

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt General] :
I think the devs are waiting for the kernel to be released before anything official is released.
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
Gotcha, that would make sense.

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt General] machostallion:
Hopefully it will be soon. CM7 is the only thing I miss from my old N1.
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
Source code released by HTC !! , go Cyanogen !! .
[Thunderbolt General] Joeviocoe:
Kernel is NOW released!!!
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Hopefully Slayhar will be hooking it up soon
[Thunderbolt General] rizzomegav:
YAYAYAYYA

BOOOOO!
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
Waiting patiently, sounds like it should be coming any moment. Is there anything else holding it up???
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Radio. The RIL will be the most difficult part to implement... AFAIK.

this is what could take significant time
[Thunderbolt General] PCTechNerd:
Yea Slayher said via twitter that what is holding up the release is the radio. Hopefully this can be resolved now that the kernel has been released.
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
I want this so bad right now. I hate sense more than anything.
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
the site has been like this for awhile lol
[Thunderbolt General] gwallers:
CM7 by end of week maybe? what you guys think?
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
There is a good chance for a rough build. It all depends how much progress is made on the radio... ;)

The developers have lives too... and today is Wednesday. This leaves only a couple days to meet your "end of week" prediction.

I would love to see this, but who knows if it is a realistic estimate or not. The radio is quite tricky from what I have heard. I have no first-hand experience.
[Thunderbolt General] uncouth13:
When I had the original Droid, I fell in love with CM... Missed it like crazy on the DroidX, so the news that it's even coming to the Thunderbolt makes me downright giddy. Whenever it gets here, provided that LTE works, I'll be jumping ship from sense in record time.
[Thunderbolt General] intangibleDroid:
Anyone else flash a copy of the CM7 boot animation in preparation for what is hopefully coming soon?

The Evo version works great. Unfortunately, it is just reminding me of what I don't have yet...
[Thunderbolt General] otto888:
Just quickly built a CM7 nightly for TB.....seems that the source isn't even CM. Looks like stock GB,CM Settings crash(Its not there,but shows in Settings),and all CM included apps are missing. Might be a bit longer of a wait. :( ....unless I built it wrong
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
You have a link for it ? Ok i got it
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
yeah i been checking twitter all day. they've been complaining about the radio on the bolt most of the day so i think it might be longer :( i wanted cm7 this weekend
[Thunderbolt General] elspringer:
I don't comment often but I have to express my gratitude to all the developers that donate to cyanogenmod. It's fantastic.work being done... And to be so close to a release for such a new phone is wonderful!!! I can't wait to say goodbye to sense I find it a horrible experience after using cyanogenmod for the past two and a half years. First on my G1 then on the Droid and nook color... Soon the thunderbolt. Thanks again!
[Thunderbolt General] emarusamun:
Anxiously awaiting cm7. Jumped on a senseless Rom soon as I could but its still got sense elements in it. Can hardly wait for this release.

Tbolt - VirusRom_rc1b1-drod1.8ghz
[Thunderbolt General] cashmore1985:
I agree, official support would be wonderful to the Tbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
It's coming. :D

He has the voice/sms working now. Bluetooth, GPS, and data are what's left.
[Thunderbolt General] cashmore1985:
Oh I know. I am excited. I love my thunderbolt. My last phone was the og droid and thus is an immense step up
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
Who are you talking about ? i'm very anxious .
[Thunderbolt General] :
Slayher posted this on twitter earlier. He wants to let everyone know he's working hard but there's still work to be done.
[Thunderbolt General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
so weird that it takes so much work to get cyanogen on the TB...i haven't looked into it much, but this reminds me of when they tried to put sense on the droid...having this and that working but still needing such and such to get it right...i know it's different but man it feels the same..
[Thunderbolt General] GrdLock:
The main reason is because of the LTE radio. There's no previous code written for it, so he has to make the code from the HTC kernel module work with the AOSP kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] :
My understanding is that the radio in this phone is rather unique. I'd assume it's related to having LTE. It's only a guess. I'm not super techy myself.
[Thunderbolt General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
ah, good point...i forget about that whole 4G thing thanks to it only being in "major" cities..
[Thunderbolt General] :
+1 lol
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
im gonna guesss data will be the last thing that gets done

Follow him on twitter

4 words, "RIL is a B***h"
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
I can't find him on twitter is using another name and not Slayher ? . The only Slayher i found was a Rapper .
[Thunderbolt General] jakejonez:
His username on Twitter is LayherDaddy
[Thunderbolt General] calcplace:
LayherDaddy is him on twitter.
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
Ok thanks man .
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
yes, please dont bother him with multiple billion questions. this takes his time away from making cm7 for us ;)
[Thunderbolt General] jawonder:
I won't say a word to him at all just want to follow his progress with CM7 .
[Thunderbolt General] Sirjacksinurbox:
Who else would be good to follow on twitter? (involving cyanogenmod that is)
[Thunderbolt General] cashmore1985:
well, you could follow cyanogen on twitter
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
http://twitter.com/#!/JerrryLange/status/53709854434533378
[Thunderbolt General] Sirjacksinurbox:
Checked him out, nothing notable other than some whining about how bad he wants CM7. Uninterested.
[Thunderbolt General] meyer77:
Do you think CM7 will be the first real AOSP rom we will see on the Thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt General] tgwaste:
Last I heard from birdman on twitter was that he thinks hes close to resolving data.

_mrbirdman_ on twitter
[Thunderbolt General] beyondyourscope:
CM7 for the T-bolt is like Santa Claus, I wake up every morning and check by the fireplace to see if it's there or if he came and ate the cookies

CAN'T WAIT!!
[Thunderbolt General] gregdalfonso:
I thought I was the only one. I thought I was a loser haha
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
The anticipation is killing me, I cant wait much longer but I know its well worth it!!!
[Thunderbolt General] jefbal99:
So is he manually rewriting the Vendor RIL or creating the Android RIL?
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
We've waited this long for the thunderbolt, so called "delays" and whatnot, we can wait this long for Cyanogenmod7
[Thunderbolt General] t-heineken:
^^^Agreed.

I just wish I could I help....I usually give the requirements to devs...so I'm worthless.

Thanks for all your hard work Slayher!
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
I too am very excited about CM7 on TB... I will make a donation to CM team this Friday (ie payday) for making my Android devices fly since the G1 and hopefully soon, the TB
[Thunderbolt General] phatjames167:
no rush at all just wondering if anyone knows where we're at with this? really waiting for CM7 support on the site before I root and rom CM7
[Thunderbolt General] boingboingbilly:
Might be awhile yet...

_mrbirdman_ @tgwaste I need a daily driver before that. Cm7 is a ways out.

_mrbirdman_ is reportedly helping slayher with the RIL
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex6999:
Installed superclean and don't like launcher. I want stock 2.1 fascinate launcher. I haven't even name to search it. Can you help me to find it? Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataranine:
Do a search for TouchWiz launcher?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerg The Bear:
If you check in the Super Clean thread, adrynalyne posted the Touchwiz launcher packaged with the stock widgets. It's labeled "eb01_touchwiz.zip"

If this doesn't replace the stock launcher, it should make the stock launcher a second launcher option. If this happens, you will get two options when you press the home button. There is a checkbox below these saying something like "use this as the default for this action." Check this box before selecting the Touchwiz launcher option, and you won't see that selection again.

If for some reason you want to go back to the other launcher (or you have set a default for other functions - browser, music, etc.), you can clear it by going into System -> Applications -> Manage Applications, find the Touchwiz launcher (or whatever you've set as default), and then press "Clear Defaults."
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex6999:
Thanks, this helps.

But on my second phone, captivate, running andromeda I have 3 app list mode. List view, customized grid view and alphabetical grid view.

What is the version?
