Is the GB radio leak and a rom good enough for a stable daily driver. Also which rom would you recommend? I'm using the froyo based Bamf remix right now.
CM7
I'm running CM7 with the 223r radio. I don't know about the 2.0 GB radio. It is a bit of a process to get everything working on CM7 at this point. I had to flash twice just to get the GPS working. It was well worth it in my opinion. It was the only way that I know of to get BT wiimote working. I prefer AOSP over any manufactured UI. I do have a reboot a day or so. I get a GPS within a minute or so. I've had to re-apply the wifi fix once. So if you're a tinkerer or you don't mind flashing go for it.

The radio is the best thing that comes with the GB leak, IMHO. Signal is better for me.

Since you're running this rom, could you tell me if wireless tether works? I am currently on vacation and need to make sure that wireless tether works before installing a rom. Thanks.

Sorry to say I have not tried it, but what I have read that has more to do with the kernel. I would say load the rom then go and get this kernel.

Concur!! Everything with the GB radio so far has been excellent.
Gingeritis beta VII
Only issue is the stock messaging app has time stamp issues making them come in out of oorder. For me at least. Handcent doesn't have this issue.
Thanks for posting this thread! I had the same question, and thanks to all who replied.
I'm most probably gonna try out Gingeritis. Hopefully there aren't too many issues that prevents it from being my daily driver for sometime..
You can still get WiFi Tether in the Market.
Step 1.) Turn On Airplane Mode
Step 2.) Turn On WiFi
Step 3.) Go Into App Market and Search for "WiFI Tether"
Step 4.) Download and TADA!
It worked for me a few days ago.
Bamf GB has ben solid for me...known issue with the camera hack can lag but does the job for now
I've flashed das BAMF 2.0 betas 2,3, and 4.01 and the only hiccup I've had was one random reboot immediately after flashing beta 3. Everything that I use on a daily basis is fully functional. Unfortunately I'm not able to speak about wireless tether or blue tooth because I never use either of them. Also, I'm not in a 4g area, so I don't know about LTE functionality or 3g/4g transitions. I was very hesitant to flash a ROM based on the gingerbread leak, but team BAMF has really done a great job with an alpha leak. It is definitely stable for me and is my current daily driver, although I know there have been bugs experienced by other users. Lastly, I had been moving away from Sense with the froyo ROMs. I was very impressed with CM7 alpha test 4, and I was using Vanilla Bean 1.2.1 as my daily driver before the gingerbread leak. However, the new Sense 3.0 aspects of das BAMF 2.0 and a couple of the other gingerbread ROMs are great.
Gingeritis works awesome! I love the Sense 3.0 stuff, My speedtest.net almost doubled in my house... maybe it was an anomaly, but I ran the speedtest via the flash based website 3 times with the same results...
No, as of 5.25.11 jcase has informed the community that running the leaked Gingerbread radio could lead to a bricked device.

I'm running Gingeritis VIII and it's a daily. Runs great!
Is the ffc with yahoo and the like working?

It's all about what you want to deal with. Both the new GB leak and CM7 have bugs. If you can see past the bugs because you the functionality and features outweigh the bugs, then you would definitely want to use them as daily drivers. If, on the other hand, you want something a little bit more stable, you may wish to stick with a Froyo ROM. BAMF 1.6.3 for Froyo is excellent.
You'll also have to deal with missing functionality since it's new.
Kernel isn't stable (mainly an issue if you happen to want to adjust the voltage, etc), but you might get random reboots either way.
No direct internet connection sharing to your pc via usb (using your phone's connection for internet).
Many of the modifications have not been ported you would find in froyo roms or if they have, they're a work in progress (6 bar signal, battery icon).
GPS isn't quite as quick as it was due to the unstable nature of the leak.
Various other little things here and there that are missing/buggy like the camera not working entirely correct as it would in froyo.
If you want to be a beta tester/lab rat, feel free to flash
Das BAMF 2.0-4.01 and loving the sense 3.0 in it
for das bamf, un install htc sync and reinstall and the connection works perfectly again
So I tried CM7, but I don't think it is working out. I have no 4G and my signal is noticably weaker. This rally sucks because I like CM. So I am looking for a ROM that has all the VZ crap removed, and is rock solid and stable. ANyone got any suggestions?

Das bamf 2.1. I would recommend the sense 3.0 but there are many graphical errors and das bamf 2.1 seems to be flawless for me. If I believe you will have to flag a different radio for bamf as I think cm7 still operates on group radio? Or it used to at least.
OK, so when I do the *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and Set Preferred Network Type, these are my options...
WCDMA preferred
GSM only
WCDMA only
GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto (PRL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Unknown
The unknown option was selected when I looked at it. Isn't there suppose to be an option that says "CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto"???
This is my concern, as well. Not looking for eye candy, just optimization.
Plus, i want to do my ADB operations in Linux. I guess that I could follow the Mac OS X instructions, as well....
i think you'd be happy with das bamf 2.1 thats very well optimized as its still on froyo. Iv heard very good things about it. massive battery life etc.
Actually 2.1 is Gingerbread.

I think you're thinking of Das BAMF 1.8. 2+ is gingerbread, 3+ uses sense 3.0
Well, parts of it.
Depends if you want sense or not. I like the stripped sense roms like Ginger bean, stripped bamf, telsa coil all run fine. And you can use the new radios instead of having to use the old ones like with cm7
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
If your looking for the best battery life and performance then I say Das BAMF Stripped 1.8. I haven't tried the gingerbread versions so I can't say if 2.1 stripped is as good as 1.8 (2.1 isn't a newer version, they came out at the same time, one for froyo and one for gingerbread) any Das BAMF roms will have a toolkit with the LTE settings for quick changes from one to another. CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto is the option you want for 4g and CDMA auto (PRL) is the setting for 3g.

I haven't run CM but I believe you are in the wrong settings. Try going into Settings -> Wireless and Networks and finding those settings there.
Oh - and I've been running Das BAMF Sense 3.0 and it's a great ROM. It has Sense but all of the bloat is gone.
Also, keep your eye on TeslaCoil - it's Sense stripped AOSP inspired ROM. I used the Froyo version and it was AWESOME. The GB should be the same except there is an issue with mms not working (you have to use GoSMS or Handcent if you want mms). When that gets fixed, I'm going to check that ROM out.

OP, i'd say take a look at the Team GTP Eaton Rom. froyo rom but based off mr2 so u get all the advantages with signal, battery, etc. that i've found to be part of the mr2 radio. i've been running it since the day i rooted, almost 3 weeks now, and haven't had a single force close, reboot, nothing. the devs pride themselves on it being a daily driver, stable, rock solid....check it out and see what you think. good luck!
Its the only ROM i've used so far but I've been impressed so far with the Eaton Froyo ROM. As stable as stock, but has some nice added features. The best of which being the MR2.5 radio (see post above) which really improved the speed my phone was getting a data lock. On stock MR1 it would take ages sometimes to get a data lock coming out of standby, with the Eaton rom and radio it is so fast you don't even know it was disconnected.

Check out gingerth3ory! Rock solid, blindingly fast, awesome battery life, EXTREMELY active dev (and a badass at that).
4.3 has a few sense things, which I promptly froze in titanium. 230mb free mem on boot!
4.2 sugarfree is properly stripped and crazy fast as well.
I'm running a personally stripped 4.3 until th3ory releases a sugarfree version.

+1 for Gingerth3ory! 4.3 is still a little buggy, but 4.1 or 4.2 are rock solid...for me anyway. Super fast and very smooth!
Edit: Make sure you use radio MR2 though as MR2.5 causes some freeze ups and reboots.
I'm sure there are several ROMS out there that you would be happy with, you just have to try them out. Personally for me, anything DAS BAMF will not disappoint you. Just remember to wipe factory/dalvick and cache.

Honestly, I dont lik sense and i just run BAMF 1.8 Stripped. I honestly dont see me flashing a rom fro awhile.
The 2.1 is battery heavy, the 3.0 is battery heavy. If you have extended GREAT! itll be worth it. however i hate how the phone feels with extended(yes i have one) and i will not go back to that.
My vote is for liquid rom if you want GB.. or jcase's plainjanev3 for Froyo.. with stock kernel on both. (stock as in the HTC kernel)
BAMF Stripped 1.8 with leanKernel and stock radio <3
Plays psx4droid perfectly. Battery life is amazing (just got under 50% after 9 hours of streaming audio over WiFi). No bugs or anything. Staying on this one until CM7 has 4G working correctly.
So I am a proud owner of the Thunderbolt now and I am loving this phone a lot. I’ve moved over from the Sprint EVO. I was rooted since day 1 with that phone. I ran CM7… and while my overall phone and speed test were faster than the stock phones in the house… I still seemed to have constant issues… be it from the phone itself or the network.
Of course I can’t leave well enough alone with this phone. I wanted to put Gingerbread on it (it still has 2.2 WTF?!) and I wanted to put Sense 2.1/3.0 on it. So I successfully rooted (WOW that was easy) and installed clockwork recovery. I decided on SHIFTS3NS3 V1.4F as it seems to have exactly what I want (I kind of don’t want to go back to CM7, everyone claims they have no signal issues but I am sure they do, especially when my Sense loaded Evo could get 4G where CM7 could/would not).
So BEFORE I rooted or did anything, I did several speed test throughout my home and work. Smooth scaling and great speeds. After rooting and installing Shifts3ns3, I started running test. My speeds dropped… and now I was seeing “skipping” with the speed test (gets to a point, stops, drops, stutters going back up, drops again, etc). So I get to work this morning and the speed test is doing the same here. I did a nandroid backup of my stock set up last night before I installed the new ROM… restored it this morning… and ran the test at work again… lo and behold I am getting faster speeds and no stuttering.
So perhaps a radio issue? I noticed there are Froyo radios and GB radios (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128)... When installing the GB ROM does it update the radios? Was I running Froyo radios on a GB rom and is that bad? Should I try upgrading to the latest GB radios and run test again? Does any of this Rom switching/radio switching affect the simultaneous voice and data ability (that’s actually huge for me and the main reason I got this phone)?
I appreciate any help. I’ve been a XDA board reader with EVO since 11-2010… so while everything is familiar to me… this all seems different with the Thunderbolt.
First off I would upgrade to the latest radio. Although these are *beta* radios, they work much better than the stock radios.
Second, after installing the latest radio try, Bamf 2.4.1. Just like you I like staying close to stock, but like extra elements with my ROM. To me Gingeritis is just too far from stock, plus the Carousel home screen is a pain in the ass. Bamf 2.4.1 is just stock with sense 3.0 weather and lockscreen, and without the location icon in the status bar.
Also, my speedtest on Bamf 2.4.1 was a straight shot. No drop offs what so ever.
And, of course this is all just my opinion but I strongly believe that Bamf 2.4.1 is what you want.

Quick question, since I am on page 10 and not seeing this answer... what is the difference between ADR and non ADR? He mentioned on page one that its "Adrynalyne. Its what I made according to my own wants"... but I am not sure what that means LOL. Only reason I am concerned is that there still seems to be a sense 3.0 lock screen bug that someone said is a known bug and to flash the non ADR version.

The ADR version uses elements of sense 3.0 while the normal version is basically stock. You want the adr version.

i came from the evo too so welcome. IMO the reason people are having soo many data issues is not from the radios but from the 2.3.5 build that was meant for the nexus s phone. 2.3.4 doesn't have those kinds of problems. just my 2 cents!

Low volume in call? Geeze... I wish I could turn it down! Gingeritis3D is blaring loud. I never use it more than half way up.
Thanks everyone for the responses!
I guess I am just scared to do anything to mess up my phone. I trouble shot and tinkered with the Evo so much so often.
Right now the phone works. And works great. I just wanna help the battery life some... and remove Verizons bloatware.
It seems the Thunderbolt handles radios differently depending on the build? With the Evo I would just flash a radio and I could bounce around from sense to AOSP, froyo to GB, and it wouldnt matter. The thunderbolt has MR2 radios... Froyo radios... GB radios. So my last question here is... right now I am on stock. If I go to a GB based rom, do I flash the radio first? And if I go back to the stock rom, do I flash the MR2 radios first (my phone updated to 1.70.605.0 while it was being set up in the store) then flash back to stock? Basically do the radios persist throughout the builds and I flash them according to what ROM I am using?
Thanks again.

The latest radio's available will work with all ROM's out right now (Including the latest Froyo ROM's).
If I remember correctly you should be okay to just flash the ROM (No need to flash the new radio as MR2 works with both GB and Froyo).
The Radio's persist through everything except a RUU or PG05IMG.zip flash (Depending on what you are flashing of course).

OK so it IS like the Evo then. The radio thread isnt stating that they are Froyo/GB radios... but where the radios got pulled FROM. I was totally reading it wrong.
Thank you for the clarification!
I have had my Thunderbolt for over a year now and have been flashing numerous ROM's/radios since. I have always had great success in each one and as time has passed, newer and better ROM's having been coming out. I currently have the Full Blown Thunderstick ROM which I have found to be the best and smoothest ROM to date. There is only one probem.
I have noticed a drastic difference in the speeds while using this ROM/radio compared to all the ones used prior. I have flashed this ROM and it's respective radio on my Thunderbolt and numerous others and I still have the same issues with all. Can someone tell me why I went from 15mb down/7 mb up speeds which I had prior to now 3-4 mb down/.5-1mb up speeds with this MR4 setup? Also, why won't the ROM let me use the Wireless Tether for Root Users in addition to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one it came with? When I try to run and connect to it from any laptop, it says it's unable to connect the network address although I have no problem connecting to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one. But sometimes with the Wi-Fi Hotspot the ROM came with, it drops connectivity. It feels like it's not using the 4G LTE speeds but only the 3G speeds only.
Just curious, did you search first? The answer for wifi tether has been posted atleast 100 times. I posted it as recently as 2 days ago. As far as speeds, speedtest.net does not work properly with that rom, your info is not correct.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
Oh I read the whole thread and I didnt really see anything that answered these questions. Im not going with speedtest.net. Im judging it based on certain websites and web-based programs which are now slower since I installed the ROM.
Did you try Barnacle? I haven't used the ROM you have, I run Liquid.
Most people claim that Wireless Tether works great with Liquid, but I couldn't get it to work. Once I used Barnacle, it not only worked, but I've been getting great speeds with it.
You need to run Imoseyon's kernel to fix the speed issue. It's been widely documented and discussed in almost every MR4 rom thread.
I'vd had the lean kernel flashed since the beginning and still no change in speeds

I noticed my 3g speeds were about double or better immediately after i flashed a sense 4 rom (one shot). Up to this point i was leery of using a rom with no wimax, but this changed my mind. Has anyone else seen increased speeds that's running a sense 4 rom?

I haven't noticed any 3G speed increases. The closest 4G tower is a hour away, so I can't comment on that. As far as overall speed though, it's probably entirely dependent on the ROM. I went back to a GB based ROM (Mean 4.5) because it seems faster and more stable than the ICS ROMS I've used.

Some developers do tweak data settings that the radio interface daemon uses to tell the rom when and how to request data. I would put money on it that HTC didn't put the effort into Sense 4 to make it more data efficient. Could be a coincidence that the tower(s) in ur area are performing at full 100% but i doubt the later.
Gonna flash a 4.0 Rom to test this

Which ROM did you flash? I've tried several ICS roms and the overall user experience is faster including web browsing on 3G. That could be related to the many tweaks that the developers employ.
The latest ICS I tried was Cool ICS v5. It was probably the most complete ICS Rom i've tried. Everything works. I switched back to GB because it could not do tethering.
One shot alpha, at this time you can't hook to pc and use as a disc drive after Rom is installed so might be good to have another Rom on sdcard to flash to later.

Tethering works fine on all ICS roms, with "wifi tether" app, it does require two settings, the profile should be set to "Generic ICS" and then check that "Routing Fix" is enabled, these settings are specific to the Evo 3D on ICS
USB tethering.. well idk about that. PDANET and FoxFi can likely do that.
