Liquid ICS install instructions fo Thunderbolt

I read about the latest Liquid ICS for the T-bolt. I have been using my T-bolt since it was first released and have never rooted or learned how to. I cam over from the Blackberry world from about 6 years of use with BB. Anyway I have done a lot of "rooting" style things on BB's but not on Android. I have looked around here on XDA to find specific instruction to install/root with Liquid ICS but have found MANY root methods and would like to be 100% sure I am following the correct ones..... Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Depends... you want easy no flaming learning curve go to rootzwiki HTC forum. You want a fast , flameful, learn on your own learning curve stick here; HTC forum. Everything u need is there just at different speeds. Lol!

Honestly, I used the all-in-one ThunderBolt Tool. Worked like a charm.

There shouldn't be a learning curve if you use the HTC allinone tool.

Yeah, use the all in one by trter10.
It's even got an unrooting option if you ever need it. Keep it saved for later use.
Be sure to thank him on his post.

Laptop upgrade

I've been having trouble with my old hp so I've been shopping around for a new Laptop. I'm wondering what folks thought of http://us.toshiba.com/computers/lap...mmc=qr-pr-walmart-l850-l855d-s5220&moreskus=0 Is it big enough for running SDK and other development tools?

What's your budget? Are you planning on using win7 or Linux or both?

That looks like it will more than handle what you need to do. I did find it for a bit less HERE . A big part of choosing a Laptop is the Budget you have to work with.

There was something about the ACPI (or whatever lol its been a while since i dealt with it) where it wouldn't want to boot ubuntu, and if it did it was unusable and my CPU and fan would be at 100 percent.
It was a linux kernel issue, not a ubuntu-specific issue.
Wireless was also a toughie for me, but I was able to fix that no problem.
I'd look around on newegg.com before buying that toshiba just so you can get a feel of what you get for around $600 elsewhere.
But yes, that laptop should have more than enough muscle to do what you want it to do.

I'm running an Acer ( yes go ahead and laugh ) Dual Core Intel. Have had nothing but the Best of luck with it

To better answer this, in the short term no. But as I continue to learn I think I might. What things should I consider looking for in a computer that can be used in this way?

processor and RAM mainly.
My 4gb dualcore would take around 5-6 hours to compile from source lol
Its just a matter of how much time you're willing to wait really.

It overheats a lot and the battery is on the ****s.
It took me 5 hours to convert a pdf of scanned images into a pdf with searchable text, and that was setting the process' priority to high. The pdf was a gb though lol
It lagged so bad that I clicked on the firefox icon and it opened up 30 minutes later lol

Next question. Intel or AMD?

I like both, but I lean more more towards AMD. Although my current Laptop is Intel, and I have no regrets with it .

Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

Is there really a difference between the two processors or does it just come down to, do you want a Ford Crown Vvictoria or a Lincoln Towncar? Is one really better than the other?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

As an amd user I love it. I have a quad core black edition and I can overclock to 3.6 without an issue. I do a lot of gaming so I run crossfire to. The only downside is that I've found that some software, mostly games, don't play nice with my gfx cards. But I feel you get more bang for your buck with amd. There is a difference between a quad core from amd and Intel. Intel will always beat out the amd card in something but they are close. Amd always wins in price though. Just my 2 cents

Why isn't my phone getting the new Play store?

I'm still not on the newest version.. any reason?

Where are you? If you desperately want it just install the .apk, it takes about 10 seconds to do.

I'm in the US another family member on the same contract ( xperia play ) even has it..

That's odd. Try downloading it from here.

Google for "latest playstore apk" Hand install it manual.

Im on ICS.. go figure..this doesnt really upset me due to the fact that im getting a new phone ( Droid DNA ) Wednesday!

I don't think it's worth it. The old one looks way more organised and simple. I won't even bother installing the new Store's .apk
Well that's my opinion, you may like it better

Mine just installed automatically when I connected to the wifi.

solution
You have to go to services and clean the cache on the market processes. I had to do that with my droid x a long time ago.

Sometimes it just takes a while. On my phone once, I cleared it and force stopped it several times and it didn't update until a couple hours later.

No. I, too, think the new one looks hideous. Too much like it's trying to be iOS for my taste.

I believe the new one looks hideous, the old one is way better. But of course, we will get used to it in the future (do we have any other choice?).
Anyway, to answer the thread, it depends on the country you are in. Usually, they update per country (if it is available to you).

What do you think about the ubuntu edge?

Im myself are not sure why they are doing this. The ubuntu edge doesnt really seem practical. I mean, who needs two lte antennas in their phone?

It's an interesting experiment, but honestly I don't know if it's gonna meet success. I mean, what if people buy it just for the 4 GB of RAM and then run Android?

I believe the two antennas were for use on a carrier of your choice, since it comes without contract (even international).
Impractical probably for most. Ever since I got an android device (an archos) many years back I kinda wanted to be able to have a functional desktop experience. Having a note ii now I can basically already do that, whether im using a tablet multiwindow mod or the linuxonandroid app. That being said, there seems to be enough who want that kind of functionality. Would be even cooler to see somethin like that with a keyboard dock. Old idea that was tried on other phones.

I'd go as far as to say this is nothing like what's been done before.
I love it, would definitely buy it if it was coming out sooner, but I need a new phone now, not in 2014.
Never figured the price to be all that steep either, you 'muricans have gotten too used to carrier-subsidized stuff
Here in Norway an $800 price tag is normal for such a badass...

It's an Ubuntu touch phone that has the option to boot into android, with an android app compatibility layer for Ubuntu coming soon so you can still use your favorite apps when using u-touch. It also has a desktop mode where you can hook it up to a monitor and enjoy the full desktop version of Ubuntu.
The desktop mode is the reason for the specs, so it's literally a computer in your pocket. Thanks to so many ARM distributions out there, almost every single piece of software in the main Ubuntu repositories has been ported to ARM. Overall, for $800 you get an Android phone, and a desktop computer that fits in your pocket.

Soo true. Thays really what drew me. Im mean it really sounds like a high quality device and it wouod have to be to meet for both a high end android device and a very functional desktop computer. I can even imagine it being more, having the ability to be a laptop too.

I just read only people who support the development donation 775 will get the phone its not being publicly sold or distributed also the 2 antenna deal is one lte antenna is for the US the other is for functionality in EU if y'all want I'll link the article from indegogo which is the current most updated article.
Edit: ok I apologize and correct my last statement it's not on indegogo site that's the place this article refers to if you want to donate and back this project to get one... Here's the article

Whether or not you like Ubuntu, you should hope that this 'experiment' exceed, doing so would surely drive something positive towards the mobile phone scene.

But will it get the newest android versions when they release like the nexus devices, or will it just update android in the same way as, say Sony does? That's probably the qyestion holding me back a little.

It is based on CM so it will be fast with aNDROID-Updates!

this phone wouldn't be commercially successful

At the beginning I thought the campaign is gonna be a huge success.. but looking at it now.. seems like a far cry from being successful. But would be cool to see a device that can dual boot android & ubuntu though:fingers-crossed:..

What do I think? Neat idea, not so great on the execution. The Android world is full of great-but-not-quite-there ideas, and this is a good one -- unfortunately the timing just isn't right.
Dual-booting is just way beyond the scope of what the average person needs or wants right now, in my opinion. Could it be useful? Definitely, if implemented and executed correctly. Maybe this is one of those product categories people don't know they want until they have it?

No <3 for Windows 8

I was given an HTC Thunderbolt from a friend. She's finally just gotten tired of the Sense BS and how screwed up this phone is as it comes from the manufacturer. I figured, being the tech savvy fellow I am, that I'd root it, unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM, probably Cyanogenmod as I love their work. .....no dice. I have Windows 8 on a laptop that was given to me by my wife after my Linux machine went to the big computer shop in the sky. After hours of fruitless searches and downloads I broke down and called HTC. What do they tell me? There isn't a driver out there to make Win8 recognize my device. I tried HTC Sync, PDA Net and a million other options.....no dice. I've searched these forums inside and out, I know the rules, I abide by them to the T. But still, no dice. SO I ask the question that I can't seem to find an answer to, has anyone had any luck getting their Thunderbolt recognized in Win8? If so please tell me how.:good:

Your best bet would be to install Windows 7 or use a friend's computer.

My guess is you do not have the proper usb cable with the data pin in it.
Seeing how you got it second hand, that's my guess as I don't know what cable you have and you didn't mention trying several.
May wanna see about picking one up to eliminate that as the issue, if you haven't explored this already.

So I tried and tried everything with this thunderbolt. Finally I gave up on Windows 8, which I think Windows has too, and dug out my daughters Acer Aspire One and installed Windows 7. Wouldn't ya know it, all went well. Actually all went well with Windows 8 but I must have gotten a bad download when I obtained the RUU to downgrade to Gingerbread. Or maybe it was an operator error, around here there seems to be quite a few. Anyway, I am rooted with S-OFF so let the Flashing commence. I'm gonna look for a CM10 rom, wish me luck. Thank to all that helped, especially the fella who told me to switch cords, always a good idea when having problems.

Good luck finding cm10.2 that has working data...
