Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum.
I am coming from being a Iphone user for many years and finally have decided to make the jump into the Android world.
I recently purchased a Skyrocket and have found lots of great info on this forum. proud to have been able to install CWM, Root and flash "Build_Dark_pa_skyrocket-2.21-15OCT2012" with the help of all the great guides posted here. I'm really starting to enjoy playing with this phone and all its potential. (much faster than my old Iphone 4)
My question is, ever since I flashed the paranoid android rom my key backlights do not work. Its a small inconvenience but would really like to get them working again. I think I have tried all the settings (but being a noob), I may have missed something. (so many options) Any help to get them working again would be appreciated.
Thanks to all all again!

Pretty sure that was a problem with that specific version. Its fixed in 2.23. Only difference is its not dark themed.. yet.

Long time android user -- first post though
I got me a Galaxy tab 2 7" on Black Friday. I've tried about 10 ROMs on it to get a feel for what I want to settle with, currently trying out the Tsunami X ROM from Team Tsunami, so far liking it.
I'm having the same problem as others on AOKP or stock, can't move progs to SDcard. Seen similar posts from others, but none seems well answered (solved). Anyone can shed some light if there's possibly a good permanent solution for this? It seems CM9/10 solved this problem.
BTW I read a lot of posts around this issue, and I'm not looking for a workaround with DirectoryBind, rather a way to really move apps and their data to SDCard.
I actually quickly tried the ParanoidAndroid 10/31 build which is CM10 and the same issue exists. So AFAIK this is not only an AOKP issue. Anyone maybe with a CM10 ROM knowns how to get around this problem?

Unfortunately no. On other devices that's my choice of application to take care of this (even Titanium backup can do it well in bulk). But here the problem seems to be that the sdcard volume is not handled as a writable partition since ICS (not sure if every ROM, but certainly all that I've tried). Apps cannot be moved to SDCard, AppManager and Titanium tries and then when you refresh you see that the apps still sit in the internal memory.
First of all i want to thank all the mods and developers for writing such kick ass software and apps and mods for our devices. Without you android with be totally boring like ios (hehe)
Secondly i have searchec for the answers to the following questions but I have not come across anything adequate enough so i thought it best to consolodate the questions here. Please dont flame me.
Okay.....
1 - i am not a noob and i can handle executing scripts and whatnot. My first question is, when I had my htc mytouch 4g i came acorss a thread which beautifully listed all available roms for the phone. Most of them were worked well but it was nice to have a concise listing like that. Is there a similar thread or sticky with a list of the available roms for the gt-p3113?
2 - when i got my tablet i knew immediately that it was going to become an extension of my phone while serving as a laptop replacement when i travel and work and play when i know in advance that i dont need a laptop. However i wanted to beef it up with a custom rom that would maintain as much original functionality as the stock rom, i chose to install CM9. It was working great HOWEVER when i went to dig a little deeper and investivate the IR blaster functionality i realized that it, among other things were not supported with this rom. And so question 2 is:
DOes anyone know of a rom (preferably cm9) that has the following:
A - IR blaster support
B - remote support/access for the samsung "find me" feature from samsungdive.com
C - support somehow for allowing for apps to be installed to the SD card (external)
3 - piggie backing 2A,if there is no rom with support for the IR blaster, is there an app out there that would reinstall the IRblaster drivers or is there a script somethere that I might be able to run so that i can get the blaster back? (I really like Peel remote)
4 - Piggie backing on 2C -if I were to revert to CM9 which i am planning to do, which is the best app that would seamlessly allow for apps and whatnot to be installed onthe extsdcard? I knowof apps2sd and someother one but they didnt work for me when i went back to stock rom whichis what i am running now.
I know this is a lot to ask guys but if you can take a moment to consider helping out with links and/or info i would be so appreciateive.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Well first off: DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!
Secondly: DO A SEARCH BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS
but to answer it any way, NO. CM and AOKP (or anything not built off a modified stock ROM) will not have a working IR blaster, if there was a way to fix it don't you think the devs would have by now?
Needs moved to Q&A section.

I'm not a MOD so I can't, just telling you what someone would be telling you at some point, but unlike most of them I also answered your question.
for future reference questions go in the Q and A section, the Development section is only for threads for ROM's and rooting or other hacks.
First Id like to thank all the dev's for keeping this cool mts4g device alive! Sad no replacement options on the horizon with hw Keyboard. So than you all very much (I love this phone). Anyhow as to my question on cm10 it lools like there are quite a few different ROMs in development some supposedly official and othersnot so much. I was hoping someone could start a compendium / bible on the different 4.1+ roms and how they differ, perhaps also indicating if development is still in the works. Definitley looks like a lot of activity in the dev section, and just thought it would be cool to have a document as outlined above.
But it would be really cool to keep tabs on what's available and to assist devs with debugging. With all the threads, its hard to keep them all straight and follow all of their progress, and some terms such as HALO and what not - (not even sure what that means) ; ill do some reading later on this but think a compendium on the latest roms would be good way for devs to showcase their work.
Again devs, thanks again for your efforts in keeping this device going.

I too think this is a really good idea. While I love GB, I know that eventually I'm going to want to move to ICS or JB, and until someone makes a phone as incredibly awesome as this is (touchpad, physical keyboard, incredible camera) I'm going to stick with it. So it would be really cool to have a single thread or doc that included all the best ICS/JB Roms for this phone.
Weekends all ready has a mirror thread that includes links to most ROMs, there will never be a thread discussing which ROM is best as it is against xda rules to have such a thread.
Besides that is very subjunctive at the least, you will get the same advice from everyone here, try out a few ROMs, read the op for any bugs or for what makes the ROM unique, make nanadroids, try some more
Unfortunately you won't find an easier method here

Dumb question, but what's a nanadroid?

Nand flash android backup, there are two types of backups to do to android phones, bart backups (uncommon) and nandroids, it like a save point, copies everything about phone (almost like a snapshot but more of a restore point) usually done in recovery

Backups of your installed ROMs so you can switch around with different ones, do some experimenting, but always quickly reinstall your favorite / stable one with all your settings and apps intact.

Guess I was envisioning more of a table showing status of said roms - perhaps something like the table at :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_disk_encryption_software
except showing the name of the rom and status (latest version), whether development still ongoing, supported features working, etc...
for instance i really like miktouch rom but found out there is no further developments after miktouch 0.7.... this is good to know, also im always confused about some of the titles of the roms cm10.1 official vs unofficial and additional goodies thrown in - halo, etc... would just be nice to have a visual comparative list of features and what not so users can choose which to test out... guess im just not in the habit of flashing a ton of different roms... and would rather like to see what a rom offers before i flash vs after....
I wasn't suggesting this table/chart of sorts to find the "best" rom as like demkantor said as that's pretty subjective...
This is a thread where you can post your thunderbolt problems
.android_secure
OK, I've got one that's been bugging me. I have a LOT of apps installed and if I have moved a number of the larger ones to the SD Card (to free up /data), once I get to greater than 1GB in android_secure, my phone fails to boot completely and just locks up. It's not the SD Card (32GB Class 10) that has errors (scanned with both Windows and 4Ext), just seems to be too much for the OS to handle.
I'm still running ShiftHackedA05P 2.8 (CM 2.7.3) from days gone by. Suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Edit: And I use Autostarts (Advanced mode) to turn off receivers for apps that I don't want to load, and LBE to disable permissions.
You might try using a Rom that has ext4 support since it supports larger file sizes.

Thank you for the reply, expert one
The folder has ~87 files of sizes 3MB to 40MB, which causes the lockup after booting at random times (sometimes it makes it further and ultimately boots, after MANY battery pulls). Once the folder is pared down to a lesser total size, the phone boots more rapidly and doesn't lock up; seems to be a linear relationship between how many files and the total time to boot until the CPU usage drops.
It might also be that most apps are moving away from app to sd since it isn't used as much anymore.

New issue, perhaps?, I am noticing that when LTE/CDMA mode my connection is showing as LTE only where it used to use ehrpd for transport and thereby still keeping 3g radio enabled. Normally no big deal but at times I am unable to send/receive texts or make/receive phone calls. Has Verizon stopped using this middle transport for LTE? I am unsure why I am always showing LTE only and if this is causing a problem. Switching to CDMA (auto prl) is the only remedy that I have found. Any thoughts?

Not really a problem but I noticed a thread that mentioned A LOT of older devices getting a port of KitKat...any chance that could happen with this old relic? Other HTC phone with some sort of working KitKat are: Sensation, Desire HD, Vivid, Raider, Evo, Amaze and Incredible S...or at least that is what this site claims.
Oh, sorry, I'm new here so I can't post the link.
Santod was working on a KK ROM but since he has newer devices as many of us old bolt users do he puts it on the back burner because the demand for it just isn't there anymore. Be patient and maybe eventually you will see one. Or you won't....

I just saw where Droid Incredible 2 has a fully functioning CM 10.1 rom. Just wondering if that could be possible for us since DINC 2 has same processor, same resolution, same manufacturer, same everything except 4G. I'd love to have CM10.1 if it meant sacrificing 4G (or even all data).
I'm new to all this, but if you think a port is possible or maybe some other way to get this on our device I will give it 100% effort.
If it can't be done then crush my dreams now and I will somehow learn to live without my TB.
Thanks.
Porting the dinc2 ROM breaks data for the bolt since the bolt has an svdo radio setup. I have ported from it before and I either had calling with no data or just data. I'm not saying it couldn't be done but it is out of my area of expertise. Go to infectedrom. com and there is a cm10.2 build made by Santod that has working WiFi. Since data doesn't seem to be an issue for you.

New to xda so can't post in the original thread, but I need info on the thunderbolt tool. I have used it before with great results, now trying to root my other TB and old vesion won't update and new download won't unzip (reads no files when extracting).
if anyone has any ideas i could use the help. I want to upgrade my other TB to the ICS rom that santod posted but i am dependent on its wifi tether and want to have a backup device if any problems a cure (doubtful, as the instructions seem strait forward).

It could be closed for any number of reasons. Cjen isn't a developer by any stretch of imagination. He's the same guy that kanged CM, and liquidsmooth code in the past in roms he called "liquidsmooth remastered", etc. He basically kangs roms, adds and removes apps, then rereleases them himself as though he built them, all without providing the source that would show no commits made by him. The irony is, liquidsmooth 3.2, CM7.2, And thundershed actually worked perfectly for the most part, his so called rom doesn't... If you're interested in gingerbread AOSP roms for the bolt, i'd stick with thundershed and liquidsmooth. At least workshed's and team liquid are real developers and their roms worked...
