Re: [Guide] Upgrade to GB Sense Rom+Radio from Froyo

Looks like I had a Bad SD Card. I replaced it with a new SD card and the radio flashed perfectly!!!

Awesome. yeah sd cards should be formatted for fat32 for this stuff.

Root is the base of your SD card - Not in a folder.

Re: [Guide] Upgrade to GB Sense Rom+Radio from Froyo

great stuff. this really helped a lot but i do have a question about flashing a patch/fix on a rom. I am running bamf gingeremix 2.1 and i wanted to know if i have to do a wipe before i flash the nextflix update and silver ring on the lock screen. i was reading on an other site that all you have to do is clear the dalvic if you want but dont have to. i just wanted to confirm this. Thanks any help would be great.

I always wipe cache partition and dalvik. Some people say its not necessary or it's optional, but i feel like it's better safe than sorry and it can't do any harm anyway, and it takes like 30 seconds.

Also you might want to make a nand backup before you flash a patch bc you can't otherwise undo the mod if you don't like it.

Great post! Thanks again to Zero for helping me out with my "noob" error using Auto_root...I ended up just doing it myself

One question to all of you guys on this post though...now that I'm root'd, I am wondering which roms I should test out. I tried out T_stick (just the transformers startup to get a feel for the speed)...if anyone has T-stick and likes it please sway me but i'm not too thrilled right now with it.

What's the fastest rom while allowing for some good customization? Zero would you recommend G-bread? Any ideas would be much appreciated!!!

Thanks all!

I haven't tried thunderstick, or really any non-bamf roms, lately.

I've been running sense 3.0 rc4 since it came out a week or two ago, and it's been good to me, and i really like the animations and extra features, however it is not the quickest. I keep my min and max clock speeds at 368 (to reduce wake up lag mainly) and 1.2 (to make the rom itself perform a little more snappy).

Bamf 2.1 seems a little quicker, and there's a little less going on while still having the good feature set (some sense 3.0 stuff, db toolkit which is rad, more mods available).

As far as customization and rom performance speed, i think you should check out CM7 - the premiere aosp rom which offers nearly endless customization, uses adw as the launcher which is also highly customizable, and is a lean, fast running rom. The latest release is far more stable than the previous. There's a link thread from ssethv in the roots section, and you can read about how much everyone likes the rom over there (I haven't used it on thunderbolt but my retired droid incredible still runs cyanogen).

Other aosp roms will probably offer you similar benefits - no sense, so things usually run faster. And lots of options. OMFGB is another one, , and fatboy97 just posted a link to Liquid thunderbread - liquid team has a long history of rom development, so it's fair to expect some cool stuff from them for tbolt.

Try unmount and then re-mount your sdcard.

Here's what I would try - part one - make sure you did a clean install (wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, you can also format system under mounts and storage). Then reflash the ROM.

Part two - connect SD card to CPU, copy everything on the card to a folder on your CPU. Format card for FAT32, then copy the files back to the card, and replace card in phone.

Try that, let us know if it works.
BTW if you did a clean install the first time around you don't really need to do it again but it won't hurt.

I actually think im just going to install rc4.9 and see if that helps. If not then i will try your method.

Re: [Guide] [Updated] Upgrade to GB Sense Rom+Radio from Froyo

I rooted and went to BAMF Sense 3.0. I even loaded the new radio. Everything works, but two oddities:

1 - when it is in headphone mode, the microphone doesn't work. i hit speaker mode it works (calls). But it will work with spoken commands, etc.

2 - it keeps shutting off permissions to the location. i.e. like flipping the GPS button off and bringing up the screen/settings where I say please allow google/etc location.

Any Ideas?
