Ok, i'm OCing with zefies kernel, running 1.3 rom, and have problems with removing the sd. The phone is functioning but the screen does not refresh this was tested by pressing the lock button, the screen turns off, press the lock button the screen turns on, back to exactly what the previous screen was, only if i put my finger where the slide unlocker is and slide it i feel the pulse telling me the phone unlocked... the problem has manifested itself in other ways, like showing me the unlock screen and unlocking but going to a non functioning home screen, can't drag down notify bar, or change pages, or open menu, or open apps list. The sd card was NOT unmounted for two of the incidences but on the one time the card was unmounted before removal the screen turned to static garbage but like in the first case the display just wasn't updating, i could lock and unlock just couldn't actually see anything but static snow.

Did u have sd card problems before? I would suggest addressing any sd card problems before trying to optimize the phone. The sd card used to cause my phone to slow down or freeze. There is a whole thread on what different ppl have tried. Can't give u the link right now cuz I'm on my way out the door but have a look through the forum and u will see. Usually replacing it with a new formatted card will fix ur issue. Hope this help.

Basketthis is correct, the first thing you need to do is ditch the stock SD card and buy yourself a new one. The ones that came with the first set of phones are garbage. Order one online rather than going to a brick and mortar store to buy one because you can typically get them cheaper online, usually significantly cheaper.

The next thing i would do if a new sd card doesn't fix it, is to wipe dalvik and wipe cache and then flash the ROM over top of itself. This won't wipe your factory data so your contacts and texts and stuff will stay in tact. This will put you back onto the stock kernel. The reason i suggest that is we don't trouble shoot devices that aren't running what we provide.

This is not done to be mean or an attempt to not help anyone but kernels control the interaction between the software and the hardware. Someone could make the best ROM in the world but a problem with a kernel will ruin the experience and who do people usually go see? The ROM developer. Now same goes for kernel devs though they could have an amazing kernel but if it's packaged with a crappy ROM, it makes their kernel look bad. It is this reason alone that rule #1 of reporting a bug in post #2 exists ...

1) If you are running a custom kernel do not report the issue until you have gone back to our kernel and can duplicate the issue.

I started using ThundeRom last night. Appreciate the hard work put into it. I've noticed a couple of things and i wanna see if it's just me. I'm not overclocking at all. The gallery takes forever to load the same amount of images or videos as stock. Angry birds lags about the same. I have the phone setup just like it was before visual and program wise. Same widgets in same places on screens. 110 MB free space internal.

Some videos won't play now that did before. Video 1 won't anymore.
Video 1: AVC (.mp4 container) 703kbps VBR 480x320 4:3 29.97fps baseline@L2.1 2 ref frames AAC 128kbps CBR 2 channel 44.1 KHz
Video 2: AVC (.mp4) 494 Kbps CBR 480x270 16:9 29.97fps baseline@L2.1 1 ref frame AAC 93.3-127Kbps VBR
>Which part doesn't it wanna handle that changed from stock?

Since it worked before i figure it's a ROM issue. New to android so not sure how to fix it. They played through gallery perfectly or Zimly media player before.

I'm on a lexar 8gb I got durring black Friday I'm not an irl store shoper. I didnt even think about the oc kernel maybe causing problems. The time for testing has passed I would want to repeat the test with the same card but by the end of the night the owner of that card tried to get away with my 8gb card so he wont be allowed back. But ill keep the kernel in mind the next time I'm having problems sorry.

P.S. I miss the scroll ball on my last androids

You need to go HERE and flash the "BuildPropJITOnly".
 
Great

You need to go HERE and flash the "BuildPropJITOnly".

That worked perfectly. Now the only issue i have is when it first boots everything is really slow. I wait 20 seconds kinda like a desktop and everything is fine. I dont plan on rebooting all that often anyways. Thanks for your help.
 
Curious- what is the cause of his playback problem, and why does flashing the JIT enabled prop fix it? If he's running ThunderROM, isn't JIT already enabled??

the key there is JITOnly. There are some issues with stagefright playing certain types of media right now.
 
Home page wallpaper

Is there anyway you can post the image that is used as the default wallpaper in the ROM? I changed mine, and cannot find the one you guys set up.
 
Newbie Question

Hi

Thanks for the great work.

- I have rooted this phone
- I have installed custom recovery (recovery-RA-GNM-thunderc-s-1.1.0.img )
- I have run Nandroid backup

I want to flash this rom. Since I am new, I want to double check everything before pushing this button. I think this is what I need to do now.

- Download zip and put in sdcard / directory (without unzipping)
- boot the phone in recovery mode
- Wipe cache, dalvik
- Select flash zip from recovery menu

Did I get the sequence correct.

Thanks for all your help.

Since this is your first time flashing you should (change is underlined):

- Download zip and put in sdcard / directory (without unzipping)
- boot the phone in recovery mode
- Wipe cache, dalvik, data/factory
- Select flash zip from recovery menu
 
I have had this phone less than a month. This ROM has made the device so much nicer. I had just over 30mb free after I got the apps i wanted intsalled on the stock ROM. Now have the same apps plus a whole lot more and I still have 80mb free. Not only that but the phone itself is a lot snappier.

I can't say much on the battery though. I have been playing around a lot so the phone doesn't last me more than a day, but I do not think the battery has gotten any worse.

Anything we should be looking forward to in the next release? Any possibilities of 2.3?
 
Everything went smooth. I now have 151MB free space.

I am going to download the applications now. Will keep u informed.

Thanks for the help.
 
Awesome!

Thanks! Installed the ROM today and ran a benchmark test. It's showing potential for a substantial performance increase.

Has anyone seen a large difference in the battery life so far?
