I have read through previous threads and I'm having an issue with Skype saying that this version dosn't run on my Thunderbolt. I recently had it running on Stock rom. I rooted and I am now running BAMF 1.6.3 with Kernel 4.4.7 .. I had the same issue on BAMF 1.6.2.
I can download the mobile version or the full version but both of them tell me that it doesn't run and that a new version with video was coming out, yet it was working on Stock. Is there something I'm missing to get this to work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Last I checked, the only Skype that works on the Thunderbolt is the leaked video one.

If he had it working prior to installing BAMF, wouldn't that not be true? Assuming the OP isn't lying, it must be a ROM issue. I myself am running BAMF remix 1.6.3. I haven't tried the market versions of skype, but the leaked one does work. Version 1.0.1.1025 I believe. I do have major problems with the video aspect of the leaked app. I can call out, but the app freezes and, well, just wigs the eff out when I try to video chat. I'm thinking this is a ROM issue with BAMF as people have reported good results with Skype video on stock so it wouldn't surprise me if your issue is also a BAMF one.
Skype got bought by Microsoft today...

I was never ever able to use the Skype app, even before I was rooted. When you downloaded it from the market and went to open it up, it would give you the message that it wasn't working for the TB yet but to check back later for an update.
The leaked one is the only one I have ever been able to run. Also, myself and many others are running the leaked version of Skype just fine on DasBAMF, it is not a ROM issue. The leaked version is the only one that will work with the TB.
Yea might just be a BAMF thing, but I'm not really sure. If I find the time tonight I might back everything up, return it to stock rom and see if it works again. I don't know if the video one worked, but I was using skype. I can't post in the dev forums under the update for BAMF yet as I don't have enough post.
Thanks for the responses.

Hopefully Google Talk video will be on the Thunderbolt before too long. Won't need Skype anymore, assuming Microsoft ruins it.
Try using THIS VERSION. Just make sure in the applications settings your phone is set to allow installation of "unknown applications".(this is the working version w/video)
I will try that version and see how it goes... Thanks for all the assitance everyone.
Mine only does audio. I tried it on stock, and on The Perfect Storm 1.3 and 1.4, using wifi, 4g, and 3g. Same results - only audio and no video. I can actually see the video from the front facing camera before the other person picks up, but then the video cuts out as soon as they do.
Seems like no one else has this problem. IDK what else to try. Thoughts?

Anyone try to get the app working on our phone? I loaded it and tried to change the build file to the HTC Vision but the app wouldnt let me stream any video.
I tried the same but didn't work... Might be sometime with blur preventing from Netflix actually identifying it as an HTC... maybe I'm completely wrong but I tried both the leaked netflix app that came out a while ago and the newest one with no luck. What I did notice was when i edited the build prop, when i went into the marketplace it would actually find the netflix app but when i changed it back to show as a Moto Bravo it would no longer show it in the marketplace
The Netflix app is NOT compatible with the stock Bravo. Bandroid said there was a way around this, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Netflix
If you have CM7 or CM9 the netflix app works with no problems now. I think by now it should work with our stock rom but I haven't tried it.

Well if you do remember CM9 hasen't been the most friendly rom for our little Bravo to begin with. That's why i've just stuck with one of the early CM7's. It's probably had vast improvements since the one I installed but it is a trooper. Has force feeding Netflix been tried yet or marking it as a system app?

Its not yet perfect, not friendly even for defy users, but our phone have a great potencial to do many things possible. As you know if our phone would not have that locked bootloader, it was just like some other new phone, thanks to the great procesor it has.
But despite locked boot, the phone is now working really great, it just need some tweaks or something to run a little bit faster, but now everything is working really great, I love the rom now, I hope devs make it a little bit faster before going to JB, but I think it will because with every new nightly the rom is smoother and thats why now Im using it alredy as my primary rom.
I recomend you now to install it again, I hope netflix works sometime in the future, my netflix account has some problems, when it is ready Im going to install multiboot manager to use GB to see it.
I'm currently using gingeritis beta 8 and am having some problems with Pandora.
When I open the app, it seems to take a while to load the first song and is unresponsive in general. Once the first song is played, it doesn't play the next song, I have to manually skip the song. Its unresponsive here as well.
Is anyone else on any gingerbread roms having this issue?
Also, amazon cloud player works flawlessly if that makes a difference.

Search the BAMF thread and you'll find that an awesome cubs fan uploaded pandora 1.5.6. Apparently, 1.5.7 doesn't work well with GB. 1.5.6 works much better according to the thread.

Yeah, this is a pretty big deal to those of us who listen to pandora all day. I've scoured through the BAMF and Gingeritis threads and everyones problems seem to be resolved by the 1.5.6 apk. That hasn't done the job on my phone Hopefully someone else has been able to get it working.
Yup. Same here. 1.5.6 with unlimited skips is cool, but has the same problems. Strangely enough 3g seems to load a little faster than 4g. Other than Pandora my 4g is obviously much faster. It's so frustrating I just avoid Pandora until this is fixed.

Well... I thought I could be some help here when I read the title, but my Pandora is working flawlessly on Gingeritis VII. Maybe a permisions issue? I might hold off on VIII if its going to break Pandora though.
I fixed permissions in both Rom Manager and CWM Recovery, no change.
I get lag as well, there is a long break between songs.
One of the bugs we'll have to put up with for now
This may not be ROM specific. I stream pandora 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. Today I have been getting 15-30 second delays between songs and have had 2 random reboots.
I'm running CM7 pre-alpha build 4 and have been for about a month and haven't had any issues/reboots until today..

What is pissing me off, is the FIRST thing I tested after installing this kernel yesterday was pandora, and then 4g. Both seemed to work perfectly, this morning however is not the same story.
There are 2 patterns here:
1) This is affecting GB roms only it seems
2) It started happening recently. Mine started yesterday.
Maybe it's a GB issue? Anyone else try it on Froyo recently? Perhaps it's a Pandora issue and it will work itself out?
Just got this to work for me. I iinstalled the APK, but when I started it, the version was still 1.5.7. I then did an uninstall in market, installed the APK, started and made sure it said 1.5.6 in the lower right startup screen. It now works.
Same issues for me on multiple GB leaked roms...
I've run into the same problem using band 2. While some seemed to quickly declare the issue solved by downgrading to the previous Pandora version, this did not solve the problem for me. I've tried .6 both by uninstalling .7 first as well as having it be the first version to hit a fresh bamf install. either way, i experience the Pandora delays.
Pandora is working fine for me on Das BAMF 2.0.4
what governor and speedtweak settings are people using that pandora works for?
can someone post the APK?
Hey guys,
I've been searching for almost a week and can't seem to find any info on this.
I have the latest build (3) of EaglesBlood AOSP ISC 4.0.4. Everything pretty much works now except the voicemail notifications.
I can call VM, programmed all in the settings, that's all good. But when I get messages, I don't get the notification.
My provider is Videotron (Vidéotron) and thinking could the french accent causing this? When it detects the provider, it doesn't show the 'é'...
Not sure what to do at this point. I get the missed call icon, I can check every time I get that but it's more annoying than anything.
As we are rare here prople with Videotron, it might be hard to get an answer...
Any help would be appreciated.
Any solutions?
Thanks
I dont know if there are no answers cause there are so few people with those carriers or, cause there are so few people that actually T-Mobile VM still... I use Google Voice and I know a bunch of my friends do as well.... Hopefully someone will come your guys way soon.
Well now I'm running EaglesBlood™ Gingerbread [CM 2.3.7] and everything works in that one. I'm also missing the 'é' in Videotron but that doesn't seem to matter in this ROM.
I'll wait until EB AOSP ICS 4.0.4 it's fully release (with the Tegra2 drivers and all if that ever happens) before switching back as I found that it was faster running certain apps than my GB ROM.
I have to say I did prefer ICS look and feel and how it runs and manages apps but those were the 2 biggest annoyances for me. (VM Notifications and no Vid Cam) That's why I downgraded to GB.
So there never was a solution to this? I'm with Videotron too. I just installed Hellfire Sandwich for the first time and I have a similar problem: I don't hear anything when I call my voicemail and I don't receive message notifications.
I love ICS... and everything else works on the phone. It would suck that I'd have to go back just because of this bug...
I switched to cm7 to fix it but I think it has something to do with the carrier list or something
Btw does any of you still have a stock froyo videotron back up? I kinda lost mine

It really sucks about the phone part of HFS... because the rest works so well! But yeah, I guess I'll have to go back down to Gingerbread... and wait another million years for a miracle mod that would actually work.

Well, I went with Hellfire Phoenix 2.3 and everything now works fine. There go my dreams of ICS... I wonder if I'll ever have a working version running on my 2X or if I'll buy a new phone before that. I don't think I can do more than 2 years with the same phone... and this one is already more than a year old...
Hi,
Firstly, want to thank the dev for this great rom. I recently switched back from ICS because I couldn't take the lag/wanted a fully functioning operating system.
The main problem I' having with this rom is that when I'm listening to music/audio files they'll stop for no apparent reason. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're stopping when I go in and out of service. When I either unlock and press play or switch apps and press play they start again with not problems. I've found this to happen in multiple audio player (Poweramp and BeyondPod being the two main ones I use).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.
Thanks very much for your hard work.
btw: the reason I didn't post this in the related dev forum is that I don't as yet have enough posts to do so...so no flaming please).
Nobody is gonna flame you for posting a question on the questions forum.. (unless you didn't search first)
I've had this happen to me as well with different ROM's. I don't believe its ROM specific. My problems were related to some of my notification settings. I also switched from the standard player to UberMusic. It's old but does the job well.

Can't be too careful when it comes to flames.
I thought it might be my notification settings but I've tried pretty much every permutation of those. Can't really bring myself to switch from PowerAmp (paid) and BeyondPod(free) is the best podcast player I've found to date...I might try reinstalling the rom, maybe I didn't wait long enough before using it?

Does the problem exist if you were to use Google Music? If it does, then it's most definitely a problem with the ROM. Try a re-install and if that doesn't clear it up, you might want try out a different ROM to see if it's the ROM or not.

Sadly, or happily as I love PowerAmp, it does occur with Google Music too. Never had this problem on eaglseblood gb (which I mainly used before trying a few ICS roms) but switched as their GB rom is no longer maintained. Will try re-flashing. Hopefully that helps.

Yeah, i just recently discovered this issue too, and it kind of bugs me.
Still haven't found a way around this. Tried reflashing the rom which didn't help. Just tried flashing faux's 49b1 to see if that helps. The dalvik cache is being very slowly rebuilt. The newer kernel (the one included in hellfire 2.3) has a MUCH faster loading time (at least upon first load). Will post if this helps with the sound issue.

Well. I'm still having this problem. I've tried multiple kernels, multiple roms and even completely formatted my phone (all partition including boot sector). No luck. Truly aggravating because aside from this issue, I love this rom. Very smooth/fast and stable. Not sure I can live with this audio problem though as it's incredibly frustrating.
If anyone else has encountered this problem and found a solution, please post. Thanks,
I just dl the old music player apk here see if it helps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.music
Also does it occur both when using headphones and not? I had issue with a set of headphones with a break in the wire, which would make the phone appear as though the headset was unplugged and plugged back in, which stopped playback constantly.

I'd wondered if that might be the reason too. I know it gains with different headphones as I've tried four different pairs. I'll have you try it without any and see. I did try disabling the setting for stop playback upon removal of headphones with no success. I'll try without headphones in and see. I'll have to flash the Rom again as I've been trying a few others out.

Sadly, no. I've tried playing music without headphones attached and the same problem occurs. Random stops. I go into whichever application (it happens in everyone single one I've tried) was playing an audio file and it starts up right where it left off when I press play.
It's worse now actually in that it occurs with whatever all roms. So now I'm left wondering if there's a micro fracture in the headphone sensor that only started acting up at the exact time I put Hellfire Phoenix 2.3 on my phone or if, somehow, it corrupted some base setting on the phone that even reformatting it can't get rid of.
Terribly aggravating. Debating taking it in for service but I need to find a Wind factory rom before I can do so. Think I saw one in the forums a few months ago. hopefully the link's still active.

I've reinstalled my phone's stock rom (WIND Mobile).
This seems to have sorted out the issue. I'm going to try reinstalling Hellsfire Phoenix in a few hours if it doesn't happen again (I'm playing music nwo and will continue for a couple hours to make sure).
I'm now wondering if maybe this was some sort of error caused by downgrading from an ICS build (hadn't occured to me previously but that's when I started having this issue and it didn't matter which GB rom I tried after that)? Hopefully this will be the end of these problems and I can enjoy Hellsfire Phoenix as it was great aside from that issue.
I'll post in a couple days if all goes well....or if it doesn't.

Well, sad to say that I still had that problem after trying HFP 2.3 again. So I went back to stock. This time it happened on stock too so I have to assume it's a hardware problem. I guess I just lucked out (well, poor luck in this case) that it went for four hours Friday without halting playback.
Better take it in for warranty service while it's still covered.
At least it seems unlikely that any rom/kernel combo was to blame now.
Hi All!
Recently, while surfing through the ocean of ROMs for my LG G2X P999, I came across this ROM. Couldn't find any link related to this on XDA. So thought of pointing the G2X owners to this link:

Flashed it just yesterday. Apart from the Video-recording did not notice any bugs so far. In fact I haven't used it enough to comment on bugs. But I can confirm that Calls and Wifi are both working fine.
If any one knows any prior publication of this work on XDA; please let me know so we can avoid duplicates.

Well the problem is that other developers take the vanilla cm7 code and tweak/mod the hell out of it which is always awesome but they put out an unstable build/ROM. If you haven't tried vanilla CM7.2 from get.cm (latest build) then you're missing out. I have had the ROM installed running with mazout's latest kernel for over a week now and its been running extremely well. All and any problems that I experienced with this setup were directly due to ignorance and human error as I'm still a flaming n00b. At the same time they were great learning experiences and easily fixed.

The problem is going to lie in your setup somewhere.
Maybe kernel level as it is known that some G2xs will run great on Trinity but crash on Faux and vice versa. That's just a quick example.
I've run vanilla CM7 for like 13 months now and do not encounter the issues you are describing.
Soooo...what's your setup.

Data does work

so data is working? i thought the data or radio was still broken. does this mean we may get a somewhat stable build of JB?

Data does work but there is issue related to rapid battery drain. Back to my stock ROM. This hasn't been updated since a long time. I wonder if any developer at all is working on this phone or not!

You are late to the party... This device is a dying device. There's 1 dev working on a CM7 Kernel and that's about it. More than likely we will never see fully working 4.1.1 or higher on our device. They tried real hard and are some talented people (our devs), but LG handed them a broken pile of excrement and said, "here you go... Jellybeans!!"...

That's almost all true! I have another old phone, Mytouch4g/HTC Glacier. On that one I am running 4.2.2 and there is a lot of development still on. Huge number of ROMs which can be used as daily drivers. But here we don't even have a perfectly working 4.0.4. But again, no complain to Developers. they have tried really hard with a lot of time invested in this device. All the blame on LG.
This phone is lightning fast on 2.3.X variants. still very much usable. I may be late to the party, but the party is yet not over
I just want to chime in that I used this and the phone is working. The camera seems slower (and therefore more blurry). Other than that everything that I use (I do not use bluetooth, tethering, or wi-fi calling) is working. It's about the same speed as CM7 I had on here before. Don't know about battery since I only just did it.
If anyone knows any tricks for the camera please share. I babysit a toddler and his face is often blurry in photos. I'm pretty sure with this new ROM it will be even more blurred. I have already removed the plastic cover over the camera lens, it's not that issue. This is clearly software as it has gotten slower with this ROM.
We thought we might have a jellybean breakthrough when cm started deving cm10.1 on the p990 and had the courtesy of posting a half port of their work in progress. I believe it's called AdamPK's cm10.1 and is usually found with Mazout360 kernel. Hardware Acceleration Work so no camera, camcorder, sluggish or other problems that plagued the hackfests but they ran into and issue with the radio because O2x and G2x use different radio chips. So you have wifi but no data and battery can't be read correctly but other than that it would be as close to a perfect 4.x as we could get.
