Why are you guys putting out so many roms and kernels, I can hardly get any "real" work done on my phone because I'm too busy testing out every new version of every new rom/kernel that comes out. Come on! I need some sleep to.
Well frankly I prefer a buffet where I can choose what I want rather than being told what to eat.
In Soviet Russia, ROM chooses YOU!

The myriad of ROMs and kernels have turned me into somewhat of a flash addict.. if I'm not flashing something at least a couple times a day my skin starts itching and I begin to twitch.

Well since you guys are soo experienced with different kernals let me ask you this question..
I just got my thunderbolt and I wanna root my phone and overclock it safely to 1.6g. So, which kernel would you recommend? BTW I AM A BIT OF A NOOB!! so please try and keep the terms as "noob friendly" as possibly haha. Thanks guys!
leanKernel supports 1.92 and BAMF will do up to 1.4, I believe.
Do you want sense? Run Perfect Storm roms with bamf kernel.
Do you want aosp? Run cyanogen with imoseyon aosp kernel.
Do you want sense removed? Run blackhole with bamf kernel.
OC to 1.92 I don't suggest, my phone locks up at that speed. OC to 1.4 stable.

I'm stock, rooted, running bang 4.4.5 kernel, and get 24+hrs from my extended battery (a must-have) might be weird, but I like Sense...
OK, so here's a (useful?) question/request to all you ROM addicts (I am not one, unfortunately!):
Is there (it would be nice if there was) a comparison of ALL kernels and ROMs to see which gets the best battery life on their Thunderbolt?
This would, obviously, have to be done by one person trying out different combinations of kernels and ROMs, as everyone has different usage patterns (and different batteries!! --each battery, it seems, behaves differently).
But I think it would be very helpful for many of us folks to have a good, consistent, complete, at least somewhat accurate comparison, as the battery issue seems to be probably the single largest issue affecting the most people with the TB.
Anyone?
Why do you need to overlook to 1.6? For being a noob, that's rather aggressive

noob question - what does s-off mean?
also, what advantages are there to removing sense?
Just a holdover until CM7 is fully working.

S-off means security is turned off on your phone. This will allow you to install whatever ROM you want to the phone.

This i can't wait for!
I might root and then hang by until the CM arrives. Only had my Bolt about 10 days now, and want to see it in action untouched, (but also minus these bad network connections), if CM7 is indeed close i'm going to wait for it.

i was using PER and moved to CM7 right now, going to check MIUI also but i got used to Samsung roms so i'm looking for a recommendation on a GB Samsung based rom

MIUI is very nice and very different. I like it, but if you are sticking to a Samsung ROM - try Continuum. It has TW4 and is very smooth.

Continuum 5.4.1 has TW4. In the latest release (5.5) he went back to TW3 for performance. I thought 5.4.1 w/ TW4 was pretty speedy - definitely liked it better than TW3.
how is the battery life in Continuum?
Im loving Phoenix Mosaic right now, been running it since the first release .. but honestly the only way to find you own personal preferance is to try a bunch of ROMS yourself.
GR-12, enough said!
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
Contiuum 5.5.... Great battery life and buttery smooth. Havent had one problem with it yet, including the ever nasty charging bug.(least not as bad as some other ROMs that Ive tried).
On average I can get 20+ hours on medium..... 15-17 hrs on heavy use. bout 50 texts, 30 minutes of phone calls and lots of air time on xda forums(not using wifi) and playing games.
i tried all the GB roms best battery life i found was on the new darkys rom. I am an power user so battery life matters, I flashed it with nothing and deleted the rest of the useless apps i got like 10 apps i use and like. but i do like to surf the web.
for looks i liked simply galaxy 2 and purple Licious both were butter.
and for the best speed it is Continuum its battery life isnt as good as a few others.
any of the JVK or JVO are very stable and good daily drivers.
JVB based roms have a few bugs nothing to stop daily use.
All are very good hard to make a stand out best it all depends on you taste and needs.
good luck I like all the samsung roms far better then CM7 battery life seems much better on the samsung roms.
Ive flashed to cm7, di11,and many others. For me serendipity takes the cake.

im pretty sure you have to flash to stock first then load GB bootloaders since MIUI and CM use different bootloaders.
EDIT: sorry for double posting link, didnt see it above from jbo12
so sup guys. I'm getting my charge tomorrow as a replacement for this fascinate which I loved especially the devs. But seeing all these problems with the roms I'm guessing staying stock might be my best guess. If any of you have had problems that make a rom unusable or haven't had any problems at all I would love to hear from you

I tell you its so easy to flash back to start it would be worth it to flash a rom period. Now that said I am on Humble 1.4 from with voodoo kernel, and there is no problems at at. Everything in this rom is butter smooth. I wouldn't worry about what people say about different roms. If you listen to what everyone says, then you might be scared of everything.
Enjoy the phone
I came from the Fassy as well I received my Charge today. Its as easy to root as the Fassy and I have had no problems with the humble Rom yet.
They do have the odin to get back to stock, but its all your comfort level.
Also you will see some familiar faces in the development forum here.

I rooted my Charge with the Humble Odin package within 24 hours of getting it. I haven't had a problem yet and am undeniably pleased with the performance of my phone.
All the issues I've had have been operator error when trying to upgrade to newer versions (which was twice, and I swear I'm going to remember to disable voodoo next time lolol).
Thanks for the quick input guys. I'm pretty Co.fortable I flashed the balls off my fascinate(even managed to permanently brick once - phone turned on to orange screen and that was all) lolol seems like humbles the way to gO. I can't wait for official legit MIUI.

I came from a fascinate myself. Ive tried almost every rom with almost every kernel. I was getting quad scores of upper 1600s with humble 1.4 and imnuts 709 kernel and i over clocked it to 1.4. The battery life was twice of my fascinate on that set up. About 3-4 hrs of hard use. I'm about customizing though. I now use gummy gb with a theme. The quad scores are mid 1200s. These are what Ive found to be the best and have little to no flaws. Hope this helps.

If I was you, I would probably wait until Friday and flash the release that danalo is coming out with for Humble (Froyo). 1.4 seems to have some minor bugs that you may want to avoid that should be completely ironed out in the next release of Humble. The GB roms don't appear to have the maturity to get past some of the weird bugs such as terrible battery life and reduced LTE speeds so I would probably stay away from them for now.
Humble with animations off and LCD density set back to 240 has been running perfectly for me.

I've been running gb for a few days now and have no bugs at all. The battery is almost the same has humble froyo. The only catch with humble 1.4 that I found was no gb keyboard. To solve that you go to titanium back up before flashin 1.4 backup gb keyboard flash 1.4 then back to titanium to restore gb keyboard.
Hi all. Just wanted to say that I got my new Charge today and love it. I put the leaked gingerbread rom from tbh on there and I think it's great. I could have waited for the nexus or gotten a bionic, but price was a huge deciding factor for me. Performance is on par with the bionic. Nice little machine for a cheap price (from amazon).

Only the CWM has prereqs. The Odin version is all-in-one.
Yep download the Odin file and flash it. It contains everything you will need (kernal, radios, and obviously the rom itself) and you will enjoy your phone even more. The kernal included in the file also supports overclocking if you are into doing that as well.

Humble is no faster than the TBH leak set up correctly (I have tried both). TBH plus the CoreDroid theme is better looking than Humble also IMHO.
I am using the TBH setup, imoseyon 4.0 kernel, fuju tweaks, etc etc etc & it is EVERY BIT as fast as any Humble ROM. It hit 2400 in Quadrant and is the fastest smoothest setup I have ever used.

After playing with this phone for a few days I think it's safe to say I made the right choice in getting this over the bionic. Saved over $100 and this thing flies! The devs on this forum are amazing.

Believe me, you made the right choice.
I owned a Bionic briefly, other than the dual processor the Charge is better in every possible way. The screen on the Bionic is absolutely hideous compared to the Charge.....
The new Razr screen isn't real great either.

Best thing about this phone is the games made for tegra. They are enhanced!
There isn't really a need to change kernal because this phone is fast as is. I tried it, oc'd it and never saw real time improvements. I actually underclock mine to 816mhz and it still plays all games the same.
This phone operates the best for me on Baldwin's kang cm7. Its fast and reliable. Either way you will want to use anything that uses the external sd card for app storage.

G-ma's stock G2x. Updated software?
You mentioned the speed of the stock build. I am curious if GRANDMA has the recent software update. It's V21Y and brings the phone up to Gingerbread 2.3.4 (as opposed to 2.3.3 previously. My wife has been on it over a month now w/o rebooting. It's an awesome stock build! My G2x is rooted and running recent Cyanogenmod real well too. The stock is so good now that even I sometimes restore a rooted stock nandroid for ZERO bugginess!
Joining in the dredging of an old thread - I loaded V21y on both my and my wife's phone - both run slower with noticeably more lag than stock Froyo. But no dreaded Black Screen Of Death, which is what my wife hated (she is on call sometimes). So I guess I'm happy. Someday I should try a dev rom I guess... But I NEED WiFi calling and a2dp - not sure if I can get that in a dev rom...

wifi calling and a2dp work in almost all of the roms, even on the new baseband (except bluetooth calling, but streaming music works), just try one and find out. CM7 is the best place to start

Yea she got the update 2.3.4, the stock build is awesome fast, faster than the htc sense obviously but I still love the htc sense animations are just better on sense if sense could be just as fast as stock id loved it even more lol. Stock makes a big difference even the single core G2 is fast on stock faster than the mytouch even with 2 cores. I've done the test I tap the menu at the same time on the 3 phones and the mytouch is the slowest. However you do see the difference when not on the UI, for example on apps, the browser, and loading obviously the mytouch wins on that aspect 1.2 ghz dual core

theres still some minor issues with the 2.3.4 got one rare SOD and a few odd reboots. cm7 has none of the issues. guess thats the tradeoff for proper quality of calls and a working gps.
I downgraded my baseband back to the March 2011 firmware, loaded up Hell Fire Phoenix with Faux's stable kernel, running V6 SuperCharger, and a Team Carbon theme that I'm currently modifying to my specific likings.
This phone flies for me. Everything works and it looks great while doing it. I really don't see a need to get a new phone, unless I decide I want a larger screen.
