I've tried every popular ROM out there it seems, and each one has this odd bluetooth stutter that I can't seem to figure out.
I loved the MeanROMs of the past, and thats my 'goto' ICS ROM, but meanbean, viper, and damn near every other one I've tried has had it.
I'm currently flashed to the latest radios and firmware, and s-off, but I can't seem to find one that works! I know its not the firmware because I can nandroid restore my ICS rom and get no stutter.
Does anyone have any ideas? My gut seems to tell me that it is an aggressive power saving setting somewhere in one of these ROMs thats built in, but I can't seem to find it.
Here are my specs:
Sprint HTC LTE 4G
TWRP 2.3.1.0
hboot 1.12.1111
radio 1.12.11.0809
Current ROM: Sinister LTE V5awe
Any ideas? Or ROM suggestions? The bluetooth is a dealbreaker because that is my primary method of streaming audio to my car and home stereo.
Thanks!

I'm seeing the same behavior. In fact you see people complaining about this all over. A lot of people want to blame the bluetooth device. Which I'm sure in some cases is true. But I like you can flash the current stock rom and it disappears. The difference being I am on a E4GT. I am with you in that it seems it's something to do with power saving. So the CPU speed is cranked down and suddenly when the stream requires a little more processing power you get a gap as the CPU plays catch up or something along those lines. It's definitely across multiple roms across multiple devices.

I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest. The only reason I'm changing ROMs is I had a crash a couple of weeks ago (some kind of UID issue ??) and had to restore and lost some functionality of my main Gmail account from the device.
Since I have to flash again I thought I'd upgrade. I've been happy with 1.6.3 but don't have Visual VM capability. Due to my job (Airline Flight crew) I turn the phone on and off several times a day. A fast boot would be a plus and great battery life is a must even though I do use the extended battery on occasion.
I use some of the HTC widgets but none of the Sense widgets. I've had some issues with the hotspot dropping my connection (losing 4G coverage completely). I use the hotspot A LOT.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't have the luxury of perusing the boards digging up information on all of the ROMs out there.
Thanks!
you could try SHIFTS3NS3 1.3X or Gingeritis 3D 1.0 VIII
both should suit you fine.
It has been a while since you changed ROMs. "Team Bamf" no longer posts on xda. So you might have to google them to find their new site, if you want to stick with their work.
Last time I used Bamf I was on v. 1.8.6 Remix. I liked it a lot because it wasn't a battery hog. From here on out, any rom you use should now require a different radio from the one you were using. A quick search of "1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r" should find you the exact file you need (Official MR2 OTA).
This radio will work w/ froyo DasBamf 1.8.6, any Gingerbread based roms (ex. Gingeritis by chingy), or non-HTC Sense roms (CM7.1 RC1.7). Those are just some basic ones I listed off. Many more choices around too.
Thanks for the suggestions. Do I flash the radio first or do the ROM first? Also, what about MR2.5 and the newer radios? I have no idea what the actual functionality or differences are.
I'm not certain of the order of flashing because I don't remember what I did. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
As for the radio, the series of numbers I posted above are the baseband #s for MR2 released by Verizon. "MR 2.5" is actually an old leaked radio; it's not as current. The naming can get sort of confusing if you don't keep up with these forums.
I normally just keep track of the radios by the baseband number or the release date. For example, I'm running a leaked radio (1.48.00.0817r, 0.01.78.0802w_3). 0817 = Aug 17, 0802 = Aug 2. Even though this is supposed to be newer than MR2, I can't tell a difference in performance.
EDIT:
Here's the list of all the radios out there.

it doesnt matter on the rom/radio order, i normally do rom first(so long as it supports the radio i am currently using), and then radio.
as for radios, the new 802(MR3.5) is great. especially combined with a rom using the new base.

There is no crime in posting other websites.
http://rootzwiki.com has bamf roms (that you dont need to register for).
I found out the hard way that I needed to flash the radio first, the ROM would not set up properly with the older radio.
I flashed the Shift ROM and the 802 radio. I'm 4:45 since being unplugged and am already down to 50% battery on the standard battery. No real heavy use. Any suggestions? This won't work.
I really like synergy for a sense style rom

Try a more modern ROM. That base is OLD and has some issues in itself you're just not going to get around. If you like BAMF, try uberBAMF or the side project Adrynalyne is working on. Much better base, much better battery life.

That ROM should be. I think I need to start having more Jack Daniels for breakfast. I'm not reading things right today.
I try to keep a handle on sync operations. Mail, social network stuff, and weather.... That weather one is goofy because by default it's set to refresh every time the widget is viewed, which might be every time you use unlock the device. Might want to try a different kernel too.
Just noticed my Hotspot doesn't work. Would that be the radio or the ROM?

try thunderstick gen II...great rom
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.

I tried it. Major change was an updated kernel. Reverted back to BAMF 2.1 with the previous kernel, as it didnt play well with the change. I'm just waiting for the roms to either be rebased or the OTA to be released. No radio changes only an updated hboot and a few fixes in the rom itself.
Would you run it over the gb rom the phone comes with as a daily driver?

Mine loves the new radios, so yes. For most users; they have experienced issues with the radios. My suggestion; s-off before flashing either the old or new leak. That way if you do experience said issues, you will be able to rollback. Also, brings up the thought of being OTA compliant, but that shouldn't matter much as most of the devs here would hve a working rom based off the OTA shortly after.

Quite honestly, I don't notice a difference one way or another. This leak was played better with my phone regarding mounting and recovery issues I had on the first ICS leak, but that is more an individual issue I had. As far as signal and reception , I think it is just the fact where I live all of the radios have been the same for me. I am in a rural area of wisconsin with just 3G, so haven't benefitted from 4g or difference in signal strength.
In my opinion, it's easier to s off than to flash the new firmware using the s on method and relocking bootloader and then upgrading then reunlocking and installing recovery and a rooted rom. Also, I've helped about the same amount of people with both. For some crazy reason even though the software seems a breeze to me, people get confused with so many steps I guess, and people who are performing s off and ask me to watch over their shoulder are having much better results than upgrading the firmware.
S-off, Hboot 1.12. Have no problems with data connection (lte or 3g) using Sense Roms. For some reason that is not the case with anything other than Sense. Have unreliable connection with new AOKP, AOSP (Paranoid), and CMX (Decks). All the Roms work great otherwise. I can usually get data back at least for awhile by toggling airplane mode/reboot. This seems to only be a real problem for a relatively small percentage of people using these Roms. Know the Roms are tweaked to work on our phone but curious if anyone has any insight on this issue.
Nobody? Issue makes no sense.
Edit: Just flashed newly released radio and now all good...even have faster lte speeds

I think my base band got updated to the latest T-Mobile when I flashed a de-bloated T mobile ICS rom. Not sure if this is the case as I am S-ON and am not sure if it's possible for an unsigned rom to flash the baseband, but whatever. Was wondering if there are any users out there who have stayed on Telus stock ICS and what their baseband is. Was having some radio issues and wanted to try and flash stock baseband. Thanks

I'm on the latest T-Mobile I believe 1.14.550L.17DC. For all I know this is the Telus ICS baseband but I was having volume issues with the earpiece being too loud even at lowest setting. I do have control over the volume, unlike all the CM based ROMs, I just feel like the earpiece volume is a bit too high compared to what I remember it being when the phone was bone stock. Just wanted to see if I was on the "wrong" radio. I have no issues regarding voice and probably none in regard to data (haven't checked). Just volume. From what I've heard many people who are not on T Mobile have flashed the lattest T mobile radio for improvements. Thing is I'm S-ON so now I figured the radio could not be updated regardless of what ROM I flashed unless it was signed official Telus. Maybe not? Tried De Bloated T Mobile ROM and Telus Rooted ROM and both work well. I'm really just curious at this point I guess. If I'm not on the right radio I'm not sure I'm willing to go S-OFF and start flashing stuff just because my earpiece is a bit too loud. Just would like to know.

Would help. Also, having a slightly louder volume isnt so bad, you can turn the volume down manually..

1.14.550L.17DC Latest T mobile. The lowest volume setting is pretty loud so being able to control volume doesn't mean much. It's not unbearable but it's seems significantly louder than stock so that's sort of why I'm looking at going back to stock or possibly going S-OFF to flash radios. The stock telus ICS zip will not install from bootloader. It either needs stock Telus gingerbread installed as a base or an earlier radio or something. Installing stock gingerbread (executable) requires an hboot downgrade (it checks hboot) and possibly a radio downgrade as well. At this point I may just stay where I am but it wouldbe nice if I could try the stock ICS radio. I was also wondering if it's even possible to flash the baseband when I install a custom ROM when I'm S-ON?

I would definately S-off it really helps. chat with @ravike14 he can help you thru it.
If you s-off and super cid you should be able to flash the firmware without issue.
I'm not sure about the baseband thru custom rom. There should never be a firmware upgrade in a custom rom.
Poeple should also warn someone if it does.
I was upset that a certain rom I flashed had a modified recovery and it wasnt mentioned in the op.
Can you send/post your build.prop file? There are some settings that can be controlled there.

Poeple should also warn someone if it does.
I was upset that a certain rom I flashed had a modified recovery and it wasnt mentioned in the op.
Can you send/post your build.prop file? There are some settings that can be controlled there.

Thanks for the info. I wound up going the s-off route and flashed a t mobile stock ruu which worked out fine. The volume issue I believe was my mistake. Rather than making a regular phonecall I was making a *888 call which was an automated message giving account balance with a certain Telco. For whatever reason this message was way loud. Regular voice calls seemed to be fine. So l went to evervolve 3.3 but the battery drain was real bad so now I run energy rom and everything is great. If 10.2 ever gets call audio fixed I would consider going back to that as it was soooo smooth even with a couple bugs
Good Job!

Glad to hear everything worked out.
Evervolve is looking like a very good rom!
Jellybean sense is in the works and it's really smooth and snappy, but has a lot of issues right now, and the kernel is proving to be a very difficult problem.
