Hi, just wondering from a dev's perspective what the most stable and functional sense ROM is for the thunderbolt.
Different phones will run roms different. I would suggest BAMF forever with imo test kernel 3.8
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I really like BAMF Forever. Running Forever 1.0.7
BAMF Forever Cubed
I am enjoying BAMF SoaB v0.1.1
A great Sense 3.5 rom.
Sent by my HTC LTE 4G Thunderbolt
BAMF SoaB 3.5 v1
synergy nightlies are amazing!
It depends on what you want, do you want sense 2, 3 or 3.5
I am loving BAMF SOAB. For me - the best Sense rom I ever ran. But that's just for me.
I also loved the look and many things about the Synergy rom - but for whatever reason it ran like a dog on my phone. Lots of people have great luck with it - but it really bogged down my phone. I think the last version I tried was like 255 though and they've released a few new ones since then

I am finally looking at flashing away from stock..anyone care to tell me whats your favorite custom roms and benefits of each or why you like them?
bamf 2.0-5 with the mr2 radio has been the most stable rom for me.. and i love the sense 3.0 lockscreen!
i was reading that...Im not really sure i wanna flash the radios that people are bricking their phones with....plus, i use my camera. ALOT. so if that don't work, thats a major deal breaker.

From what I read here it's not the radio. I just flashed MR2 and Gingeritis IX. So far everything is running smooth.
Gingeritis IX
wait...so its not the radio thats bricking? now i really dunno if wanna use it.
but still. the camera....
The 3.0 camera doesn't work, but team BAMF provides a flashable 2.1 camera app that does.

I'm loving Th3oryofGinger/Candy. Great battery life, GPS, Wifi, camera all work. MR2 radio, but it was confirmed last night that the radio isn't what's causing bricks.
You will get a different opinion from each person. Every rom has its quirks. Read the rom OP and decide which features & theme work best for you.

used liquid thundersense for the longest time, then recently made the switch to GB. now i'm running candy with imo's kernel, and love it.
the gps on candy has been absolutely flawless, finds my location almost instantly even indoors, whereas, on liquid i had some issues with it not finding me, even outdoors.
i think thundersense had the edge with slightly bettery battery life (used imo's froyo kernel for liquid as well), but candy still easily makes through my whole day with moderate use without needing a recharge.
so far, candy looks to be an incredible daily driver for me, everything just runs great, no issues that i've found yet.

thats what im going for. Everyone's opinion is what im looking for.
i have been using candy v3.5..its gingerbread sense with a few tweaks..but smooth fast and no reboots for days..best rom out at the moment..i really liked gingervitis till chingy seemed to give up on ginger for awhile...hopefully i will see him return...
I'm running a de-Sensed version of Th3ory's ROM with the MR2 radio and dreamkernel and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. YMMV. Find what works for you!
i am running Tesla Coil 1.7.1. I love it because it looks like stock gingerbread.

My favorite is CM7 RC0.4 ASOP and they are much improved than RC0.3. I am looking forward nightly update CM7
Ok, here is the deal.
Currently in limbo between carriers and phones....
In the past week, I have used/own a TMobile HTC Glacier (myTouch 4G), an HTC Shooter (EvO 3D), and now a Thunderbolt (wtf is the real name of this?).
On my Glacier, I used evil D's Desire HD port (0.33). Was pure Sense (1.84 I think) and I loved it. No real bloat, no real customizations that wasn't done by me, nothing to irk me. Worked well and didn't break anything.
On my EvO (OG) I used a stock rooted ROM. Once again, worked well and I just uninstalled bloat I didn't want.
On my Shooter I used stock... (cries)
Anyways, I am looking for a pure sense (i liked 1.84 - I dislike 3.0) ROM that has everything working for my nice shiny Thunderbolt. I did read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930 and I still don't know which one to go with... I also do not want to flash ROMs left right and center.
P.S. - I don't mind Froyo or GB... but I do want working netflix and skype.
So, does anyone have any ideas for me?
I would try one of the Bamf 2.1 ROMs, there are three different kinds. There's a customizeable one (remix I believe), a non-themed sense one (NTE), and a stripped one which is senseless. The Bamf 2.1 ROMS run on sense 2.1, although a Sense 3.0 ROM is available. They are gingerbread, which is the only way to get netflix working on Thunderbolt, you'd have to flash one of the GB Radios if you wanted service though.
I would suggest one of the theory roms. He offers a suger free version which has much of the sense elements removed. If that's not to your liking there is always cm 7.

So I guess GB is it then, since that is needed for netflix to work. Oh well... Weird it worked on the OG EvO with Froyo...
On to check out the Bamf series...

No, I want to keep sense.. (i am one of those weird ones that likes it...)
i like using the BAMF sense 3.0 roms
its currently on rc4
i get about 10-12 hrs of battery life on this rom with imo's leankernel on extreme
and screen state settings on setcpu
The thunderbolt is the Htc mecha, and I suggest cm7 with the mr2 radios if you have reboots on mr1. Great battery life, buttery smooth, and the next release should come with 4g without toggling.

i really like the SYNERGY rom 3.0. it's senseless but you can add the sense with a simple file flash. it has a really nice black/blue theme. really stable for a nightly.

Welcome to the Tbolt. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the BAMF 2.1 ROMS. They are all stable, smooth and fairly bug free.
All of the devs around here are damn talented though. So you might find yourself flashing more than you thought you would just to get a taste of what they are all doing.
Hey Guys,
First off, I'd like to commend this forum. You guys have assisted me greatly with my Incredible and now my Thunderbolt. Awesome work.
I just rooted the other night and am currently running the upgrade rom. I'm interested in putting a new one on along with upgrading the radio. The 11.19 Evo radio worked great on the Incredible. I had perfect signal damn near every where I went.
I'm still brand new to the TB, and not too sure about the different roms/radios. For instance, I coulda swore when I rooted, the upgrade rom specified that it came with MR1 radio. However, when I check my baseband in says 1.16.00.0402w_1. If someone could offer an explanation on that I'd be appreciative.
My main question is, I'd like to have a good rom with Sense (2.X or 3.0) that's stable, has some cool goodies, and can use one of the best radios.
Sorry for all the crap, I just have a lot to learn about the TB.
Thanks
From that description you might want to load Das BAMF 3.0... 3.0 is for the Sense 3.0 version.... RC4 is the last version I've seen and used a few days ago... and IMHO MR2 worked very well for me with that ROM.
Personally I've been finding GingerTh3ory to be rock solid stable, and the support on the forum has been fantastic! Haven't had any crashes on the 4.5.1 and the MR2 radio. Just flashed tonight's radio leak though and will see what happens
As best I understand it from my time on the forums (and someone can correct me if i'm wrong) the MR terminology is just shorthand for the complete radio package so that everyone can say the "leaked MR2 radio" instead of 1.39.00.0508w / 0.01.69.0510w_3 (the corresponding CDMA/LTE baseband numbers). So you won't ever actually see "MR1" in your radio info. Also, I think MR either stands for Mecha Radio or Milestone Release.
I like bamf 3.0 rc4 with mr2.5, but it is all personal preference. Best advice is to try a few different ones and see what you like.

The BAMF roms are the best in my opinion. Used all of the 3.0 versions. Nice eye candy for sure. Back on froyo with BAMF 1.8.6. Super solid Rom with great battery life. This supports the MR2.x radios. The sense squared theme on this works flawlessly and I think this is the most stable and best looking Rom/theme I've found. Very snappy. Better than gingerbread for a daily driver. Man this is pretty....
Synergy is the bomb. Very very fast
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
+1 on Synergy. Blazing fast, redic battery life and overall buttery feel to the entire thing. Its like the dev just poured crisco into the rom.
I think I'm about to win an ipad2 from work and would absolutely require Wireless Tether if any of them still have that baked in? Currently running BAMF Remix 1.8 and kinda miss Netflix too.
So many GB ROMs out now, wondering what you'd recommend. Thanks.
Me personally I LOVE CM7!!!!

CM has it "baked in" and it both wireless and wired options work (wired wouldn't work with an iPad)
wireless tether works with Gingeritis 1.2, if you prefer Sense
that's all I've tried
I have been using GINGER3DTH3ORY since version 4 (currently at 6.01) and have been very happy with it. Pretty much everything works as far as my needs go...Netflix is great, wireless tether built in, VERY fast and smooth and the dev is responsive and gets things fixed quickly. So far the latest release seems to have pretty great battery life as well.
Hope this is useful to you!
BAMF, Synergy, Th3ory, Gingeritis...
All very, very good choices.
So damn good...I can't make up my mind so I keep a recent nandroid of all of them.
The latest version of Gingeritis and Synergy have the newest GB leak....but I'm certain BAMF and Th3ory will follow suit soon.

From what I read I think Th3ory is hoping to have it done by the end of this weekend...*fingers crossed*. Go Th3ory!
I used BAMF 3.0 Sense within the first hour it was posted up until RC4.9 and loved it. This past Saturday I decided to give Kobes HONEY|Bread 3.0 a try and I freaking love it. It's themed well and I have not had any issues. Netflix is smooth, no random reboots, no problems with call quality, etc...
give it a whirl, it's sure to impress;-)
Synergy. Long time BAMF user, and Synergy converted me.
It basically all boils down to user preference tho. Synergy has been best for me, and Netflix, wireless tether, and call recorder are all necessities for me, and work flawlessly on this ROM.

Gingeritis 1.2 for me. It's the only rom built around the most recent GB leak for the Thunderbolt.
Tesla Coil is a greaat rom that looks like CM7 but with no 4G bugs.

Ok I'm a big HTC Evo fan and well sadly my evo's charger port messed up on me and no longer works...so I decided to upgrade to 3do I was just wondering if anyone had some rom/ kernel combo suggestions? Or recent rooting guides thanks in advance
I am one of many
I would go with meanrom as rom wise.
as in rooting it all depends on what h-boot your on if its h-boot 1.50 then you need to do the HTC method on their website
You have to try Warm or Eternity. Sense 3.0 for a solid theme, or Sense 3.5 for smoothness.

I'm on Eternity right now, but I switch between that and Warm. You can't go wrong with either one. As for the kernel just stick with stock for now. HTC hasn't released source for the kernel yet. So none of the custom one are fully working yet.
Alright I'm familiar with warm...I love warms theme... so ill try them all see what I like and that sucks they better release the kernel soon!!!

Alright I thought about meantime I like speed mostly anyways and it was ultra plain and i have 100+ apps so I need space...also is their a way to get s-off with the HTC one?

I've tried several different combos.. I started using Warm Two Point Three back in november. For some reason my dialer was locking up so I switched to MIUI. When I was on MIUI 2.2.17 w/duces super zip I was getting excellent battery. At which point I swore I would never go back to sense.
Then... all the ICS builds came out. I flashed around a few and then decided to give mikuney a chance. All I have to say is WOW. I really enjoy it. Anyway, good luck.

Alright ty I'm used to miui and cm7...kang project was my favorite ics rom.ill look into mikuney
I am one of many
Its called MikRunny. I just upgraded not too long ago too and I'm still getting around to the million roms our phone has, but as of right now im rolling with Eternity with the stock theme. Ive tried Toast's, Joelz, and Kushdecks ICS's, Joelz ICS AOKP, Joelz ICS MIUI, Eternity, and ViperRom. The ICS roms are my favorite hands down, even ICS MIUI, but theyre still being worked on so I'm holding off for a bit til they get a little more stable. Im still getting around to others. I want to try the other MIUI, CM7, and the Sense 4.0 ROM being worked on. Im holding off on that til it gets a little more stable too though. We have so many great devs/ROMS its pretty difficult to get around to all of them. I kinda need to use it as a phone too lol. Try em all, theyre all great.
I would use Meanrom if you want everything worming and good battery life.
MIUI is ok... If you like a iphonish setup.... But bluetooth audio doesn't work with MIUI as well as 4g or 3D camera.
