    [ROM] [05.25.11] Das BAMF 1.7

    I tried the original alpha 1 last night...it is off to a GREAT start. I"m spoiled by how smooth and stable the BAMF team's ROMs are...and I'm sure their final version of GB will be no different. Great work...I'm sure you'll have more beers and coffee coming your way soon!

    Card to play for a return and exchange?

    That's what a 14 day return policy window is for...not trying to be a ******. If you make it sound like you're just trying to return the phone for the "next best thing" the Charge...good luck. I wouldn't even mention that. I'd stick to the battery life argument, as said.

    In "girl terms", explain to my mom why Android is better than an iPhone

    I stopped by a VZW store this afternoon, had to get a generic car dock....so I looked at the Charge. It's ok. I can say I only played with the phone for about 2 minutes on my way out. I do like my TBolt form factor. However....that AMOLED screen is sexy. I wonder, long term, how the...

    In "girl terms", explain to my mom why Android is better than an iPhone

    I would agree with tewest. The iPhone is a great phone. It's just not a great phone for everyone, no more than an Android is a great phone for everyone. We don't all drive the same cars/trucks/bikes, do we? This is an Android site...so of course we're a little biased and I admit to lobbing a...

    [KERNEL][5.10.11][2.6.32.21] Kernels from Adrynalyne (Now on Kernel Manager!)

    The governors are what increase performance AND extend battery life when done right. Adrynalyne is part of the BAMF development effort. Although most will tell you any Kernal will work with any ROM (Sense based or CM based excluded), I'd say you can bet your rent that any Adrynalyne kernal will...

    Thunderbolt Battery Complaints + Tips/Tricks

    You write software for a living and you think we are nerds? Really? They are called smart phones for a reason...the end user has to be smart enough to use them. Otherwise...they make iPhones. This phone is NOT a great business phone. And I too, own this as my work phone, with exchange via...

    Thunderbolt Battery Complaints + Tips/Tricks

    Emails and text are one thing... I don't even like to browse the web or download on 3G, let alone 1x. Tell him to flash a good ROM and kernal and remove the bloat ware/get an extended battery. Then he can leave it on Wifi/LTE and get 2 days out of it as well.

    3.5mm to iPod connector (female end) cable made?

    Hi all.. I have a nice BOSE sound dock for an iPod that I'd like to be able to use my Tbolt on. Does anyone make an adapter that plugs into the 3.5mm port on the Tbolt and connects to the ipod dock on the other end (I know it's proprietary, but someone's gotta have this cable...) TIA

    [ROM] [05.25.11] Das BAMF 1.7

    You only want to flash the radio file only, not the whole RUU. Flashing the whole RUU will put you back to factory, non-root. (Don't ask me how I know...I had this friend who uh...yeah, you get it..lol). My advice is to download all 4 combos of the radio file only and keep them on your sdcard...

    Boot into Recovery via Clockwork Recovery Mod. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, then install the ROM from the menu (Install zip from sdcard) See if that works. I'm not a fan or using ROM Manager or Kernal Manager to do the actual work...I try to do everything through CWM.

    Anyone try Tesla Coil

    I just put Liquid Thundersense on this morning due to all the claims of superb battery life. It is a VERY easy transition from BAMF. A couple of small disappointments but no biggies. I dl'd 1.45, had a day old nandroid backup already, wiped cache and dalvik and installed. All my...

    [RUU] 4-18-2011 | New Rom + Radio 1.16.00.402 FIXES!

    No need to rewrite history. This is all you need to know about radios. [RADIO] The Obligatory Thunderbolt Radio Thread - xda-developers. If you want a stock RUU...someone correct me if I'm wrong, just wipe/factory reset the phone...no?

    There's a remove Green button zip file, or perhaps reflash Rosie?

    [ROM] [05.25.11] Das BAMF 1.7

    Did you change the option in Rosie? In the app drawer, press Rosie Settings. Use the drop down for the app you want. Just because the icon is there, you still have to "set" the button.

    Tell him it integrates with FB and Twitter better. That'll keep him on the droid. :)
