CyanogenMod 7 for the TBolt

**defcon999** · 10-03-2011, 04:45 PM

I Flashed to das BAMF Forever and love it. I have been seeing a lot of users flashing to CM7. I go to Cyanogen's website but the TBolt isn't listed.

Just curious as to where people are downloading it from?

From links on RootzWiki or XDA... and from threads started by people here with links to the latest version:

Ok...I did see that link before, but it says that it isn't "official" yet. I thought people where running the official release.

How is this one?....stable?

Start reading the thread... I recently loaded this one and it works... there might be a few little issues here or there, but that is why YOU need to read the threads and know what issues they might have. I flash a lot of ROMs here, so I usually don't stay on one more than a week or two... but it's one of the best AOSP ROMs IMHO.

It's pretty solid. I haven't had it installed in a little while, but it's definitely worth checking out. At the end of the day, I determined that I actually liked a lot of what HTC added to the OS, so I'm on a Sense rom for now. You can't beat the speed and performance of a good AOSP rom though, and this is definitely one of those.

what radio did you use?

I just flashed over to CM7 yesterday to try it out and it's ok so far. definitely snappier than the sense roms, but I find myself using LauncherPro and beautiful widgets to make it look more like a sense rom. battery life kind of sucked on the first day but looks like I need to calibrate my batt stats.

If you're a fan of aosp roms like cm7 then you definitely need to check out the droidth3ory lineup of roms. They use the cm7 base and add their awesome tweaks.

I'm having no major issues. Been running CM7 for about a month now. Just recently fixed the NetworkLocation.apk and now apps like FourSquare find me indoors now.

Andrew, do you have a link to that fix? I love my CM7 but it always thinks I'm in Virginia!

thanks for the link, my phone keeps thinking I'm in Paris....

Love this rom, I hate having to flash to sense rom and then to asop rom to get navigation.

**ryan1972** · 10-06-2011, 08:01 AM

Works great for me so far!

**opjones** · 10-06-2011, 11:45 AM

My wife picked up her Bolt on day one, and now she's finally had it with sense and has allowed me to "fix it". No question in my mind, she's getting CM7 installed on it.

**defcon999** · 10-06-2011, 03:57 PM

I tried Gingeritis (which I understand is based on CM7) for a day....I wasn't to thrilled with it so I flashed back to das BAMF Forever 1.0.7 and will probably keep it for awhile...translated "Until I get bored".

I am looking for the DOCK.apk cuz I think it is removed from the das BAMF build, the icon is there, but it doesn't work. I did find "Car Home Ultra" dock app and LOVE IT!

Attaboy! I "fixed" my wife's bolt in the exact same way!

gingeritis 3D is sense based, just like BAMF FE...

With CM7, there's the quirky issue here and there but they all have fixes or workarounds. For example, after flashing CM7 my GPS stopped working. I recently fixed Car Home not working and some other things.

I'd be much more inclined to run a Sense ROM if my phone were dual core. I love Sense 2.1, but the TBolt just doesn't have the specs to run it as well as I'd like. So AOSP is definitely the way to go.

I have the thunderbolt since release and haven't had to replaced yet. (Dinc was replaced five times). Root the phone as soon was available via long way. Recently started flashing roms. First try the Virus from Synergy but seems to have to much sutff that I don't need. Last week tried CM7 and I'm glad I did, battery life is the best ever and so far no issues. I'm using Radio 1.48.00.0817r. Is that is the best radio for CM7?
