Thunderbolt Users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027804 This ROM (BAMF 1.5) is straight up amazing. Someone at Verizon leaked the new updates to the 4G radio and this ROM has implemented them. This morning at around 11am I installed the new version of the ROM and the new radio at 50% battery life, and now at 9:30pm I am at 35% battery life with moderate-to-heavy use. These new changes involve the 3G/4G searching/switching and are just simply awesome. The link has more information on exactly what changed with this radio. This is a MUST HAVE for all Thunderbolt owners.

Does switching to 3G only work with it? I've seen comments in the radio's XDA thread suggesting this is broken with the new radio. I tend to distrust that a lot of their non-developer posters know what they are doing, though.

Yeah it's working fine for me. I really don't take any advice on xda unless its a dev or another reputable poster. It's nice to see my phone struggle less with poor 4G signal

I am just overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to install on this old G1. CyanogenMod 6 seemed painfully slow. I tried another that promised speed, but was based off 1.5. There is so much old info from 2009/2010 as well. One post on XDA talks about the "newest" image of something, then links to one half a dozen revisions old (instead of a link to the site where the newest can be downloaded). I'm afraid to click any link on any forum because of how old and out-dated so much info it. Many ROMs have info posted like "wifi doesn't work. GPS doesn't work. YouTube doesn't work.", etc. Is CyanogenMod 6 simply the newest/best option for the G1? Is there nothing better?

You could try the Dwang ROMs I guess. G1 is really really outdated (and I'm a former G1 apologist).

If you bought the G1 as an iOS user to look at Android, you'd be better off just not having a G1. It's not a good look at all into Android these days.

If you know of any functional Android for only $40 (what I paid for the G1) on eBay or Craigslist that is better than the G1, let me know. Plus, I'm sure I got a good $10-$20 worth knowledge out of the device already. It almost pays for itself!

Should I unroot my Thunderbolt before taking it into VZW for an exchange? Or do you think a simple factory wipe will do it? Here's my issues causing me to go back to VZW

It's £99 in the UK (which usually translates to about $99 in the US), it's got a high def screen with similar specs to the Wildfire. It's not the fastest phone in the world, but anything is going to be better than the G1, and I say that as a former G1 owner, and current HTC Desire owner. The G1 is a pile of crap.

Well like I said, you're on AT&T and if you're willing and able to start a new contract, you can get the HTC Inspire for $49.

I'm at actually at the end of two-year contracts for all three phones on my family plan. ^_^ I am personally waiting for the iPhone 5. My wife wants a simple flip-phone. However, I told her she could just buy a simple phone and let me grab a nice Android phone with the contract-discount (my daughter wants a real keyboard on her phone, but also really likes my iPhone). What is the best AT&T Android phone right now? The HTC Aria? How rootable and hackable is that? I'm blown away about how much poo poo I've already tweaked and flashed on my G1 (compared to something like my new bootrom iPhone 3GS). Also, I just followed the guide for this ROM on my G1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929678 "Froyo by Laszlo" v5.2 (based on Android 2.2.1) my G1 setup: HBOOT-1.33.0013d RADIO-2.22.28.25 96 Meg swap (not enabled yet in this ROM), 512MB ext4 partition. So far it seems the quickest/best ROM I've used (even compared to some 1.5 ROM I tried earlier).

The Aria is actually a semi-lowend phone, although a great budget phone. The HTC Inspire is the best on AT&T right now, unless you prefer to have dual core and limited hackability options with the Atrix.

Xenomorph posted:"Froyo by Laszlo" v5.2 (based on Android 2.2.1) From the screenshots it looks like dev built in overclock options, so make sure you overclock it to the maximum if it's not set to that by default.

I didn't have this issue on my N1, and Desire's an official device so it shouldn't see a complete poo poo release like that. Recommend backing up and doing a straight reflash (no wipe), if that doesn't work, wipe+reflash.

My google voice is broken and has been since I threw on CM7 RC4. Any ideas? Just crashes out when I try to launch, and the widget shows nothing. Right now i'm running ok barring this problem on the 41 nightly build, but still can't get that voice working... Edit: Sorted with an uninstall -> reinstall from Market. I did have to go on to wifi for the market to show up the first time after installing the nightly, but it works fine on any data connection now.

The latest version of Launcher Pro has been doing that to me, force closing and relaunching once usually solves the problem.

Anybody know whats up? This has been happening to me with the latest version of LPP on my Fascinate running both Blackhole and CM6. What model SGS are you running and what (if any) home replacement are you using. Also yea, when conversing on a forum about the SGS it is a good idea to include which variation you have, especially when it comes to rooting/custom roms and such.

Can anyone shed some light for me? I want to switch to the Das BAMF 1.5 remix ROM for the Thunderbolt, but I don't know if the ROM includes the new upgraded radio or not. I've heard really great things about the new leaked radio, but I know nothing about how to flash a radio and I hear it's risky.

I feel like this is Googleable, but I can't get the right combination of words to find the right bit of information. I am running Cyanogenmod's latest, with ADW (I think that comes default, I certainly didn't do anything unique). I have 7 desktop screens, and I want it to be arranged such that the middle (4th) screen is the home page, and then I'd have 3 pages of various other things on both sides. Pushing home would always take me to the 4th page, so I'd be in the middle, and it'd be symmetrical. Right now, home takes me to the 3rd of 7 screens, and I just can't figure out how to change that. I tried switching screens 3 and 4, but it just takes me to the new 3rd screen. I tried deleting a screen to the right, and recreating it on the left, but it still goes to the 3rd, no matter what's actually there. Any idea how to change it to the 4th screen?
