Hi all, just wanted to find out your opinions in updating from MR1 to MR2 aside from the facts that newer ROMs will only work with MR2 or 2.5. I'm still running ThunderRom with an MR1 radio and so far my thunderbolt's actually running faster than it was on the newer ROMs.

The 2.75 and the release from chingy have been my favorites. Much better 4G/3G handoff than the previous radios. I do believe that every Bolt is different and will react differently to certain radios.
I've had the best luck with mr2 under cm7 using dream kernel... that combo gives me the best battery life in a aosp rom.. mr2.5 was fine but seemed to drain my battery much quicker. Haven't tried mr2.75 though.

Ok, so after flashing every new gb Rom, I've decides to go back to a froyo bases Rom because they're way less buggy, and get better battery life. However I remember that in the olden days when I was running bamf 1.5 I also ran imoseyons kernels and got insane battery life. I mean I could go like 16 hour and still have half a battery. I'm now in bamf 1.8.6 with new mr2 radio, but with the built in kernel, the charging time don't seem as fast as I remember and the battery life doesn't seen to be as good as I remember. Does anyone that's back on a froyo Rom have a suggestion on what kernel to use? Or a link to the old imoseyon kernels? Would those older kernels support the mr2 radio?

Here's the link, and yes they work. I'm running it know with the OTA radio and BAMF 1.8.6 and I love it.
Are you running at 1.4 GHz or in "battsaver" mode?
I'm running 1.4 "Normal"
Cool, thanks. I just loaded this up and it runs very well.
Ok, thanks. I'm running the lean in battsave mode. So far so good. Thanks.

For some reason it can't hold a 3g connection for 5 minutes before it goes to 1x. I'm on thee official mr2 radio. Should I be using mr2.5 ? If so links, just make sure they're not dead.
More info needed. Did this just start? Did it start after flashing the ROM?
I am running the same ROM but using the .704 radio Chingy leaked and no issues at all. You can get it from his site.

Uh, its been a problem for beta 6 and 7 for me. I don't have this problem on 1.2. Also the battery really drains. I'm gonna try that radio you were talking about
Im on beta 6, dont have that problem either, try the new chingy radio like the above poster said, works great for me.
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
I'm using the MR2.5 radio and getting crazy long battery life. I thought the Chingy leaked radio was junk on many fronts. Namely, it holding a signal sucked. Somewhat the same with the MR2 leak. Please don't bark orders to post links and demand they be assured to work. It's rude. Go look for them yourself. It's not like its actually hard to do.
What's everyone's opinion on these two new roms? My flash addiction is fighting me and craving a new fix, but I'm undecided between these two.
Also, what is the difference between gingeritis and gingeritis 3d?
Synergy. Roms faster and smoother. Like the look of it too, plus more theming options
Gingeritis is just straight sense. Gingeritis3D is similar to the ROM found on the EVO 3D. Other than that they are largely the sale. I'd go with Gingeritis because its been devlopend longer and uses Ziggy's kernel. Other gingerbread kernels don't work well on it. It's rock solid, unlike uber BAMF at this point.
I'm not a fan of Synergy for many reasons. That's all I'm gonna say to that.
+1 Gingeritis 3D VII for solid battery life using ziggy kernel on stock battery 3 days.

What are you doing? Using your phone as a paper weight? ...3 days would be amazing
I was able to get 3+ days out of the extended with regular, moderate use, so 3 days with less apps than I use, less display usage, etc. isn't completely out of the question. Standby battery life is incredible compared to any other build I've used.
I say uber bamf or skyraider zeus

Gingeritis 1.2 is sense 2.1, gingeritis 3d is sense 3.0, other than that they are exactly the same. Both use ziggys kernel by default and work with any radio mr2 or higher (although they work great with chingys new leak as its taken from the same new base as the rom, same with uber bamf ). Right now im on uber BAMF 2.5 with ziggys kernel clocked @ 1.344, bamf seems to have a bit more lag and slightly less batt life than gingeritis 3d beta 6 for me (which is my dd) hence the oc'ing to get rid of lag. Bamf is cool, over all its a great rom, but little things like rosie remaping, to be smooth as butter with no oc'ing needed, and great support from the man chingy keep me going back to gingeritis 3d beta 6, its by far the most advanced and stable 3d rom out there for the tbolt, imho, and batt life is hands down the best out of every single rom ive been able to get my hands on, sense 2.1, 3.0 or aosp.

I've ran both. Currently using uber bamf. Have to say I am seeing no lag with bamf. Also seeing better battery life on bamf so far. To each their own. My advice would be to try both, you can't go wrong with either imo.

Good advice above. All of the GB roms are now based on Chingy's leak. So its just a matter of preference. All the major players have pretty stable roms at this point. One thing that *seems* true is all bolts differ from one another. What works well for me maybe not so much for you. Try a few and see what you think. I'm back to running synergy for now. I just like the animations.

i think its all in what youre comfortable with. Ive tried both and i find myself going back to Chingys Gingeritis 3D Beta VII. There don't seem to be as many Mods for it though. Bamf seems like it has a lot more mods but at least for me it seemed to also have more bugs in it. Of course you could always do like I do. Search through the XDA forums and find tutorials on how to make your own mods.
The new Gingeritis ROMs really do have very impressive battery life. With minimal use, 3 days is plausible.

Used both myself. Switched back to bamf uber to check it out but found myself missing Gingeritis.
Any feedback on the new 802 GB radio? How's it seem to be working? I've been using the MR2 forever cause it has worked the best for me.
Just thought I would ask before I try it.
Been running the last couple days... Get better 4g lock in fringe areas... Overall feels stapler..

Seems okay so far. Might have gotten better bat life on 2.5.
Thunderbolt CM7 1.3
Tiamat 1.0.4
I'm getting better data reception. Getting 3 bars 4G in the hospital I previosly couldn't get a lock
tbolt ^_^_^
Battery life??? Better?
New 802 radio
I have not tried it yet, I am running BAMF 3.0 4.9
Anyone try it yet?
I will probably flash the new radio tonight to see how it works.
i loaded this and there is no difference in the signal from MR 2.5, although my TB is in a 3G-only city so no idea if there's a difference with 4G or not.
i haven't tested out battery life yet though as the phone's been charging a few hours now(extended battery).
oh and i'm using A05PTH3ORY V1.4X
i don't use leaked beta radios. i don't need a brick.
well, i gave it a go. im using DT's AO5 however the hell you spell it AOSP rom. that and i have the 2750mAh extended battery. normally, when i go to bed, the next day the battery has lost 10 - 15%.... with this new radio, the battery was at 98% when i went to bed, then 69% when i woke up. i think im going to switch back to the MR 2.5
Can we please begin using RUU numbers to describe radios. The actual radio number most people use is just one of them and MRblah,blah,blah doesn't tell you jack because there's 2 MR2 radios, and it seems people are just inventing MR numbers now. Someone posted they were using the MR3.25 radio somewhere today. WHAT??? MR3???
The 802 radio has given me betterblife in both MonolithTh3ory and Cl3anTh3ory roms. Can't hurt to try it its benefited lots of us so far.

I'm a fan of if it ain't broke don't fix it. The only new radio I flashed was when i HAD to for the GB radio. Other than that, I have left mine be.

Yes, the battery life is amazing on the newest GB build 2.11. I thought it was regitering wrong but it was correct. I highly recommended.
Can someone link me to this 802 radio?

im about to go back to the OTA as the 802 radio makes my 4g go out alot more than normal.
What's the difference between mr4 roms and a rom like gingeritis 3D? Now I'm running clean rom 1.0 n its a mr4 rom...like what's the mr4?
Sent from my HTC Mecha using XDA
MR4 was a leak with Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.6, I think. Unlike other sense 3.0 ROMs which ported Sense from ROMs designed for other devices, MR4 is a Sense 3.0 ROM that HTC actually put together. I am now running a version that is very close to the leaked RUU and it is great. The built in WIFI and USB tethering work out of the box.

Ok cool. I was curious what the difference was. I'm running clean rom 1.0 right now n am thoroughly impressed with it HTC should've releases this in an ota or something lol

Strangely enough I've begun getting terrible data speeds on MR4 roms lately. There's only 2 that I know of, and both of them I barely get 1mbps. I just flashed InfectedROM and now I'm back to 20mbps+. I tried a few diff radios and such and nothing made any difference other than flashing this new rom.

Could be the build.prop from the MR4 roms, not sure though. Try replacing the build.prop from Infected with the build.prop from the MR4 roms, see if it makes a difference.
Easiest way is to copy it to your sd card from Infected, flash back to MR4, then paste it back. Reboot and check it out.
The slow data speeds is a kernel issue. Flash imo's 6.2 and you should be good. I get about 5mbs on the stock MR4 kernel, but about 10 on Imo's.
I use the stock MR4 kernel because on all Sense roms my in call volume is way too loud, except the stock MR4 for some reason.
