Thunderbolt and Ice Cream Sandwich - Thunderbolt General

HTC said they will be upgrading as many phone as possible to ICS, how would they upgrade us to ICS if we don't even have Gingerbread yet?

My guess would be upgrade to gingerbread, then ice cream sandwich. But seriously, "as many as possible, while slowly pushing the thunderbolt under the rug." With as many problems as they've had, i'm not holding my breath for an official release. I'm sure the devs will give us a better version though.

I thought we had Gingerbread already .. even though VZW still has a few bugs to work out?

lol.. with the thunderbolt, who ever follows what's going on officially with all the roms/kernals/radios you can get for it. i won't even bother getting an "official" ICS for my thunderbolt. just waiting on the ics roms!

The update was pulled. Root and flash a custom. There, most up to date you can be.

I know the Liquid team is working on a port even this early(source for ics is unreleased). Aside from that team bamf will probably give it a shot too.

True that, a port is a best chance to see ICS anytime soon for the tbolt. I am sure our devs will make it happen...

Have you looked into Synergy ROM? The thread states it is at 3.0 but it has taken a leap to 3.5 in the last few days. It's sweet and smooth.
UPDATE: The tread now shows Sense 3.5.

Anyone know a ROM team that has something reasonable working yet?
I don't think the CM guys are doing it...who will actively support the Thunderbolt on ICS? Anyone know?

Don't worry about it bro, its all good... as of now we only have a hacked kernel for GB and it is just pieced together, so an official kernel will lead to GB running better on our phones and less glitches and such
TMO actually just initiated an internal beta of gingerbread for the mt4g today.

Hahaha dude I see you on here all the time, where you been? Practically all of the new gingersense roms out today are completely dependent on that leak. Without that you wouldnt have any of the new roms, plus, some of the roms out right now are based on that, like Calks new Evio rom.
i love those roms but i wish they were smaller files. i have never partitioned my sd before

Check out Mik's .51 Rom. Stock Gingerbread with Sense 2.1, works great!
Only "stock" gb with sense 2.1 would be a shift port. The evo will not be getting 2.1, not from HTC anyways
I am really liking Avas gingerbread with 2.1. Tried the others, Avas is my favorite. Throw the sense 3 lockscreen on it and your good to go. Hopefully the sense 3.0 ports will stabilize as much as the 2.1s have. 3.0 is tha ****!
Im kinda glad amot posted this cuz I been curious. I thought I remembered this with the 4.12 radio leak, but if there's an official evo GB, why all the ports and semi-functional roms (no offense to ANYBODY)?
Is it just cuz of the effort to get the newer sense? Im on xda every day. But it seemed like this leak came and went. Unless I missed something.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
We got the (incomplete) kernel, and library files out of this leak that have made every gb sense Rom possible. It is entirely useless other than that because it had nothing other than some files of and interstate to anyone. The better sense versions are why we use ports anyways. I'm sure that once we do actually get an official version, with everything working, these ports will get better.
Also sense 3.0 will never be complete, or 100% stable on the evo for a few reasons, but that's what search is for.

Htc announced G.B 2.3 for desire next week

Update: 24.06.11
A quick update on this, we're planning to release the rollout timeframe for the new Gingerbread ROM for Desire (GSM) early next week. Thanks for your patience.
Great news and betters roms are coming
But we already have GB ROM's...... More than you can shake a ****ty stick at!!!

Wrong section bro. btw ya really good news...also my GB with sense 2.1 odex nand fit version is done will upload it soon...after first boot data partition has 110Mb for apps data...
I believe 10 days ago HTC announced Desire won't be getting Gingerbread, because of memory problems.
@htrx, they said htc will remove some of the app so they can fit GB.
Great news, if we get more out of the official version.
And 9 days ago they retracted that statement following a massive rollocking by the community
great news i think
Hope for a better kernel (and for snq´s extras on this)
also for better radio, ril, wifi..and battery
with kind regards..Alex
"Exciting" news for the ones not rooted LOL
Reading the above statement correctly though just says they will be announcing when the update will be coming next week. So for all we know they could say GB for Bravo will come next year!

Biblically epic! Just remember to exclude that bloatware you are always including in your ROMs...
My phone is rooted, and i have GB already, but this official+Our dev's edits will rock in the air, i mean no bugs at all...
Mmmm...
I think you'll find the only thing of interest are the Kernels... anyone who wants Gingerbread on their device has had it for months... they sure aren't going to add any Sense 3 stuff either which I've been enjoying for a long time. Good job we have techy wizards in this community who know how a ROM should be put together

+1 for this, i know what you mean...essentially all hd gb sense are based on rcmixhd or neo´s rom...(include mine..as i have not the time to patch the hd rom complete to make it work for desire)
and if we get it...it´s make/done for desire...so i think it have better performence..

Modified Netflix apk

i was just wondering if anyone out there could help me with a Modified netflix apk to download because the stock won't work with my rooted phone and ive looked all over for one that works and i think i have tried them all. all and any help would be thankful. i dont know if it will help but i have eaglesblood rom
Eaglesblood Rom? Is it Gingerbread, ICS, or JellyBean? CM7,9,or 10 based? I think you might be having problems if you are on an ICS or JB rom. Your problem with Netflix probably is not because you are rooted, but due to incompatibility with the specific rom you are using. I personally use Netflix with CM7 based roms without any problems. I have not used Eaglesblood for ICS or JB, but I can Nandroid back to an ICS or JellyBean build I have used (Benee's Hackfest or ICS Paranoid). If you are on a Gingerbread Eaglesblood, then I'd be surprised to hear about you having a problem with Netflix...
I might be able to help if you let me know what Eaglesblood you are using.

Thats ICS AOSP bld 5. Find their GB EGB. Flash that and then your Netflix will work with no hiccups. Or just wait a week or so when ROMs start coming out with stable ICS/JB.

Make a Nandroid backup of your current software. If you're not happy with Gingerbread (and everything working), simply restore the Nandroid to revert back.

[Q] Need help picking a custom ROM.

I really want to upgrade my phone to a 4.1 custom ROM that is compatible with system themes or a 4.0 custom ROM with system themes capabilities (CM,AOKP, etc.). I could not find any 4.0 ROMS with system theme compatibility (currently running SwiftyTrixy 1.3). I tried MagicMod 4.1 based ROM but the lack of video camera functionality made me revert back to a 4.0 ROM. I need a 4.1 ROM to have video camera working and be suitable as a daily driver. Tethering functionality included would be nice but is not a deal breaker. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks.
Have you looked at the Paranoid Android ROM? It's nice, and a suitable daily driver for me. Video camera works if you apply the fix from altered in his thread. But I don't think tethering is working at the moment.

I actually just saw that today but I also noticed it was in Alpha still so I wasn't sure if it was stable enough to use as a daily driver but I read plenty of positive feedback. I have PA-Grouper 2.56 on my Nexus 7 and absolutely love it so this might be the best option. Any noticeable bugs in your experiences with the Atrix version? Also, thank you very much for the fast reply.

I am trying to pick a rom too for my Atrix2 (ATT US). I am still stock on ginger bread.
Questions:
1. Looks like NUMA ROM is the best so far? It's based on the final ICS release from ATT, that mean less bugs I suppose?
2. This rom is in Beta? does this mean it will go official soon?
3. After flashing to NUMA Rom, can I go back to gingerbread if I want to? or will there be limitations?

If you want to be able to go back to GB from ICS, you have to be on Jim's ICS leak 1. Do not update to official ota if you wish to have the option to return to GB.
Numa is a very good ROM. Read through the thread to find any possible bugs that others may have found, though i know the list is short.
Note: I repeat.. If you get Jim's ICS leak 1, do not update it to leak2/OTA, as you will no longer be able to revert back to GB.

Yes you'll have to be on leak 1 before going to numa. Also you'll need to fxz to a clean stock 2.3.6 before trying to put the leak on your phone. Don't set up any accounts once on clean 2.3.6. If you follow Jim's post you'll be just fine :thumbup:

So I finally got around to flashing the PA ROM today. Its easily one of, if not the best ROM I have used on this phone, especially for being in alpha. I actually didn't encounter some of the known bugs listed such as black lockscreen, rotation issue, or bootloop at motorola logo. One issue in particular I did not see previously mentioned on the dev forum was LTE not working. The first thing I looked at was the APN settings and tried setting each one that came preinstalled with the ROM but I was not able to get LTE. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix? Also no third party flashlight apps work from what I tried. I can confirm tether is not working as well. I'm looking forward to more good news about this ROM than Christmas

AT&T somewhat misleadingly calls their 14/21 Mbit HSPA+ "4g".
