Has anyone checked this out and/or gotten it to work on an Eris running LWP?
Seems like a real cool concept, but I was wondering if our HW would limit us (since not all wallpapers will work) . . .
If it works, let me know!
I can't post links yet (new users), but search C-ThruFone on AppBrain and you'll find it.
waste of battery and would slow the phone down... whyyyy??!?!? would you use it.. I wouldn't..
Ha! I wouldn't use it either for those exact reasons. I was just curious to see whether it worked.
It works fine for any ROM I've used. Slows things down a bit but it all depends on your overclocking and the individual wallpaper. I don't have any issues with battery life without them but once again if I use them it depends which one. The Mario LWP will kill your battery life in a heartbeat, others won't.
I used one called kwall it was okay except for a software bug that only displayed the camera in landscape mode, even while holding it in portrait. It was an odd thing but was cool to show off when holding in landscape. IPhone users drool

Just tried C-ThruFone and it works very smoothly, but rotates the image 90 degrees counter-clockwise no matter how you hold it. Still pretty cool tho. Also tried kwall and it doesn't do what ironicmind13 says for my phone. It actually works flawlessly!

Thanks for the update. About a million users were posting about the 90 degree bug on AppBrain when I first saw it this afternoon, so I'm sure the dev will work in a fix.
And yeah, as someone said about, "makes iPhone users drool." It's just something I'd like to have to show off to friends at a bar or whatever if they ask, "like, what cool things can your phone do?" Nothing I'd run by default.
Kwall must have fixed their rotation problem, maybe the dev could help the dev who does c-thru. Lol. I like the idea of the apps, but our little batteries just can't take the abuse.

It's a no go on froyo... but that's due to the camera not working. Just my guess
haha i love this! I confused the crap out of my girlfriend!!!! Kills my battery though
Hey just an update on this, it works on Froyo now. They have one just for Froyo and since the camera and video work now, it works perfect, even rotating 90degrees and everything.
I'm not sure why it hasn't been mentioned on XDA yet, but TQ 3.0 has been released:
I'm only putting it out here, so if someone wants to make an official thread then go ahead. I'm amazed no one has said anything here... unless I'm missing something. Looks sweet!
READ ALL THE WARNINGS - especially Rubix users:
I'm leaving the below link in the post just in case, but the rom owner asked me to update the OP with a direct link. Don't worry, I tested the link, it's not malicious. Please visit this link first :

Thanks,
Installed and seems like this ROM is solid....no bug(s) yet....nice
Confused
This is supposed to be a blurless rom, correct? I loaded it last night, and def still has blur in it.... When I get home I'll have to see if it actually deodexed like it promised. Even Contacts are still blur...
I will say that it's FAST though..

All of the current ROMS have *some* level of Blur. Since we cannot bypass the Moto Kernel, there are some levels of base code that just have to be there.
Tranquility, Apex, zapX, and Rubix 0.5 were all built on the 2.3.15 release and then removed as much of the blur components as they could and still have it function.
Fission & Rubix 1.0 built from a base that came out of the Droid2 SDK which appears to be very stock Android and therefore, they are a little more 'blur-less' than others. Which is both good and bad. Time is showing that some of the blur components have some nice functionality that people are missing when they go completely blur-less.

This is absolutely true and was the same for the D1 except it wasn't Blur, but you can't build AOSP for D1 either without using the extract-files.sh to pull all of the proprietary components that make the phone work.
It's a basic truth about phone firmware.
can anyone tell me how the contacts list comes up aosp style or blur< i noticed blur has a thing to merge my phone contact with fb and twitter< without having to use the same name on fb and my contact info. please let me know thanks guys!!

Had rubix fallowed the instructions of installing the 2.3 detox then installing the tranq rom but the home buttion no longer works tried flashing the 2.3 rom still the home problem tried rubix after that. Same thing. Can I install the 2.2 stock rom in clockwork without wiping the phone? I just want to get my hone button to work again

I hate to say this, but maybe you should post this on either droidworld or another forum with an active thread. I doubt you'd get much support over here, not sure why. Tranquil. doesn't seem to be popular around here. I didn't see you mention trying a nandroid restore.... did you?

From what I read you may want to do a sbf back to stock 2.2 then install this.
I am seriously considering installing this to test out but want a little more feedback from users as to any possible issues (mail/pop3 etc..)

Its running pretty damn good for me. And since I have Tasker set up to sync my data every 30 mins, my battery life is great also. I'd imagine it would be even better if I set it to sync every 45 or 60 mins.
Love TranQ3.0, and I never thought I'd be saying that.

So far, I've had like maybe one or two glitches.... sometimes after a reboot the boot screen gets left on the lock screen, so you can still unlock your phone, but you have to guess where the sliders are.
another is that the calendar widget doesn't work.
Other then those two, the rom is FAST, stable, and battery life has been great. Worth it to me in my opinion... It's not an ASOP "experience" though... it's more like a hybrid.
Like it so far though, it's my daily driver.
Edit: Also, this applies to STOCK people (running the 2.2 OTA).... I was odexed, completely stock..... installed this rom with ease: no wiping, no formatting, nada. AND it deodexed my phone for me.... LOVE THAT.
Youtube app and music does not work for me. Mp3 are not recognized by player. I went back to 2.3.8 and everything works fine.

I have bought tasker aS well (the stock rom doesn't let the os sleep when gps is enabled so I bought it to turn it on and off for all my apps)
Now I like your idea of syncing every 30 but I use google voice exclusively. And the voice app. Does that mean if I turn off my sync I won't get my messages in a timely mater?

This rom also doesn't seem to sleep when wick is on. Am I missing something? Anyway I do see how this can save a lot a battery with the screen dining and everything. I had to wipe my phone to get it to work. Last time I tried when I booted every system app was force closing. I feel like this is a little slower than rubix but way faster then stock. Could be too the drawer just doesn't feel right. Too bouncy for me to use quickly. Ill probably go to pro launcher. But if I don't want to how do I customize the 4 apps at the bottom? Its driving me nuts

Wow!
All I have to say is whow, hold up your going to fast for me!
This is by far the fastest rom I have used on the Vibrant thus far. The response is just insane. Only had it 30 minutes or so so I can't say the battery life will be great.
The radio on this is insane, gps lock in like 10 seconds and within a minute on the tester was a 6m accuracy in a car doing well past the speed limit, I wasn't driving . The speed of the web browser is the fastest experience as well on the Vibrant.
I will say I tried going to Trigger twice but it wouldn't show the launcher at all, I couldn't get it fixed and in a moment of desperation tried this and I think it was fate.
Well done and many thanks!
PS: The Einherjar Dev Team is lucky to have you and if this is the product you can put out, man this dev team is the new hotness. I was already in love with Pepperkake and haven't found a rom till this one that I liked as much.

Hey, I've been using this rom since last night and so far everything is running smooth and stable.
I did not ask him what the deal was, to be honest a bad odin flash might be what did it. However I re odined and reflashed and it did the same thing. I was at work and it was coming up shift end time so I was just trying to get something working for the ride home, plus was waiting for a call from the wife.
My only request is an accurate battery mod with some wicked graphic like the circle that changes colors.
For now and the past 3 roms I've had I just used a widget out of the market so no big deal. Debating whether I want the wifi calling, before at my house I didn't get the best reception, call from wife once i got home was steller quality and no breakup so I think in all honesty the radio may have done the trick and may not require the wifi calling afterall. Plus I'm worried what it might do to this screeching performance.

You're absolutely right about the radio. I found the early versions of the Wifi calling app to be a resource hog, which is why I remove it from this build, and have always removed it from my personal builds. As far as the accurate batery mod, I'm sure that cooking up somewhere. I'm planning on taking some time this weekend to jump into framework modification and theming, so I can start bringing these things to the builds myself. Until then, we have to wait on our wonderful community here to provide us with the mods when new versions drop.

and the swype is just a suggestion, most people use other keyboards too im guessing.
Ok a rewrite
Monster rom 1.1i is what I've been on all day and there is an update to 1.1j that just came out so my thought are of the 1.1I
Theme of the rom is very little at this time its still very new. The notification bar is a metallic black with white symbols and a battery meter that shows 1%. Very nice. The dialer is also themed with a metallic look.
The rom is I would say looks like an OASP rom even though its not. I like the look and feel of the launcher.
I think that its faster then stock. Feels snappier do to the adrenaline shot that he gave it. I don't know what that does but I like it. No lag or slow downs of any kind.
There is a bloated and a debloaded rom as well.
Also the free ram has been really good. Every time I look I have at least 200 to 230mb of free ram all the time. Can't beat that. The battery has also been good for me as well, as of 12 hour of moderate use I still have 50% left. That's good for me.
I've had no issues with it as of now so im really liking it and im looking forward to more updates. He updates it every couple of days wich I ike. They are not big updates but good ones.
Rom is by 05gsxrk5 and BenLand150
Im sorry if i left someone out.

Is this thread meant for anyone to chime in? I like that idea too. If you ever want to read reviews without searching through what will end up probably being 100+ pages of questions/comments in the actual respective ROMs threads u could just come here search for the name and read up.
Please chime in. I think its great to here from people who are using these rims. I like one place where we can go to read what people are saying about the rims. As of now im on 1.1k just came out last night. So far I like the changes. Later im going to steel DROID and try out 3.0 that just came out.

Ok time for steel DROID 3.0
Ive been running this for a full day now and
It very snappy. Opening apps is ferry fast it just kinda snaps open very quick. I have not ran into any slow downs or lag. Been very happy with the speed. It also has the adrenaline shot along with some ram tweaks. This rom is the only one out that I've seen with tweaks that I think are done to make a faster rom.
It is also themed a little bit. It has a 1% battery meter on top a black notification bar. The wifi and bars are changed to a blue and look like ice theme. I do like the look
It is running on the blur launcher as of now.
I've ran into no problems that I needs to be fixed with away. There were a few issues but since have been fixed. He also has some addons that you can put back onto the phone if you need certain Apps that he took off. It is debloated rom, I also think there is a bloated rom as well.
The free ram is not as high as the monster rom but still better then stock. Im usually at 120 to 180mb of free ram.
With every update it gets better and better.

bump let's hear more reviews
I just put Liberty on my phone last night and I like it even better than Monster. It's heavily debloated imo which made me nervous, but Titanium made it easy to restore apps I needed and now i probably have a more refined list of back ups geared towards how I use the phone, so not a bad thing all in all. It moves quicker on my phone than Monster, the way i measure it is hit home on the homescreen of LauncherPro and it no longer glitches when the screens zoom out into formation.
The only bug i've noticed is I can't dial *228. I was able to still call voicemail so I'm wondering if this says anything to the effect of it needing to be provisioned like what I used to have to do in WinMo, but unless I see a problem surface I doubt i'll investigate into that too much. Not really a big deal for me. A lot of people said they had bugs like front facing camera force closing but I haven't had those problems. I used the blur camera as well as the blur calendar/email in the customization options and it all works well.
Liberty is as good as always and will only get better. After Hashcode is done with this new version of safestrap: http://goo.gl/FDYlE I will be dual booting this and CM7 indefinitely.
I was really excited about getting gingerbread. My phone has been flying and I figure it would be that much faster with the update. Well, not the case for me...the phone feels sluggish and slow. I have not been getting errors but slow. For example I have the weather widget, calender widget, and a couple of contact shortcuts on the main screen. When I open the web browser and hit the home key the phone takes a while and then the widgets (weather and calender) take a while to load. And this is just one thing. I tried taking the battery out. I tried clearing out the cache from everything. And killing extra items from running but still no go. I'm starting to miss froyo
How's your experience with the upgrade so far?

I love it.. I downloaded the update to Gingerbread and rooted... other then that I havent touched a thing other the debloat a few apps on my own.. I have to say im having the opposite experience.. my Revo is just as snappy as ever and feels more refined with this update.

GB thoughts
Went from stock GB to GV 1.1.
Fantastic radio and data 25+ with Houston server/4G
Not one random reboot or crash
Not one update failed issue
Faster batt charge cycle and better life
Got rid of rare unresponsive screen input issue by installing widgetlocker app and by using SPB shell as launcher
GPS and BT much improved over Froyo
Excellent work on GV1.1 ROM MT!
I was also getting the slow down. I rooted and flashed gv but it still happens from time to time. Bt would also lose connection a couple of times during a conversation on a thirty minute drive. I'll be trying the supercharger next to see if that fixes things.

I was also getting the slow down. I rooted and flashed gv but it still happens from time to time. Bt would also lose connection a couple of times during a conversation on a thirty minute drive. I'll be trying the supercharger next to see if that fixes things.

If you didn't do a data reset when upgrading, you should try that.
It sucks, I know, but download MyBackup Root ('tis free) and backup anything that's important; that'll make your life a lot easier. I'd encourage you to backup your apps and the app data separately, and then only restore apps you actually use, and only restore app data that you really need to have back. Resetting and then restoring everything exactly the way it was doesn't fix much, hehe.
MyBackup also lets you backup your SMS/MMS/Call Log/Contacts/some other stuff.
Immediately after the update, LGHome did nothing but force close. I did a factory reset to fix that. Now I have similar issues.
1. Battery life has gone down hill. I have everything off.
2. LGHome is slow. Started to use an alternative launcher which I do not really Fancy all that much. I actually like LGHome, but the scroll speeds have gone to crap.
3. I have tried the super charger thing but so far no difference at all.
4. I was hoping that GB would fix an issue with the email program and exchange. It did on my old phone, but nope. I still get a Password/ID error every time it checks for mail.
The great GB save seems more of a let down to me. My phone is slower, far more issues, and other than the fact that is says it is GB, it looks almost identical to v6 except a slight change in the apps drawer.
I am really thinking about rolling back to v6 with root.

Market has started force closing on me... I hope the v7 TOT comes soon so I can do a fresh flash of everything.

Nothing against MT's work. He does a fantastic job. With this phone however I have not had great luck with ROMs and prefer to keep things stock for now. I do not want install a ROM over what may have been a bad flash. It would not be fair to him as I would comment negatively on his ROM unfairly when it was the base flash to begin with. Once I can get the v7 TOT and redo the phone entirely then I can verify my belief that the phone just did not take the update very well.
I am playing it safe for now and staying unrooted on GB. Once the zv7 TOT is out I'll feel better having that as a fallback.
I haven't had any other problems with GB other than the soft keys not lit after it boots up. Holding the phone up to a light source turns them right on.
I do miss all my apps which require root . . .

Well, the zv7 TOT is released four hours after I post ;-) Great job jackpot08! I have no excuse now.
About GB again, nothing revolutionary but I do prefer to stay current.

Gingervolt 1.2 is making my phone FLY. I honestly never thought this phone would be this fast. My battery life is amazing now too.
If you're familiar with modding the phone, I heavily suggest installing it!
Yeah 1.2 made a huge difference on my phone as well. Muuuuch faster and smoother than 1.0-1.1, and my battery life is MUCH better.

I have been sluggish for a coupe days now, my hanging with friends was very jumpy, but I did a cache wipe and dalvik wipe.

The original upgrade went smooth for me but something happened and things were glitchy after. I flashed the v7 TOT file and things are much much better. I just went 28 hours on light usage and still had 24% battery when I finally plugged in, I was also in the next county over night which has 4G. Market and LGHome are both stable now. Screen lag seems to be much better as well.

Yah, I am sluggish again this morning. I may have to do the same. I was good on gingervolt 1.1, and now this last week has been ick, but I remember a similar issue when I did the revolt 1.2 ages ago.

And my experience is the opposite. 1.1 was sluggish, and I'm flying on 1.2. Goes to show sometimes there's no rhyme or reason.

I wasn't on stock GB long enough to make a decision on good or bad...
I'm running GingerVolt 1.2 and while it's flying through things that had bogged it down previously...
it seems that the battery isn't charging as fast as it had been.
I'm building up to the 100% so I can calibrate the thing, which may remove the issue altogether, but it's moving at a snail's pace, as opposed to the jog it used to.
(I've had the thing charging for 4 hours and only moved up 20% in charge, where with zv4 I could have the thing nearly charged from the same usage.)
I doubt GB/GV was the cause, but I'm hoping it will clear up with the calibration.
So far, that's been my only complaint with the setup.
