The Thrill and the O3D are essentially the same with but different model numbers (just like the Rogers O3D) but O3D Roms still work with no problem on the Thrill and I assume the Thrill Roms would work on the O3D. With that said, is there any point in keeping these two forums separate? Imo, separating the Thrill and O3D would be like separating the the Rogers O3D and the UK O3D (different bands/models but same phone). As for user bases, we are both small communities so why not be a bigger small community?
They use different kernels and radios, it can get confusing having all that info together. When I had my atrix I could sometimes be difficult to tell which ROM/Kernel/Radio to use. Especially for newer people that are just starting with Android and rooting.

I would agree. The Captivate and Vibrant were essentially the same phones, but had separate forums and I think it was easier to help newbies keep out of trouble to not accidentally flashing the wrong thing. ROMs and such can always be ported over, so I would like to see them remain separate. And I agree about the Atrix Forum, it was harder to make sure you were flashing the right thing. (But of course, reading is key).
Agreed I see no reason for a merger, putting O3D roms on the thrill can cause a few problems with mms and even taking videos. I am planning on either combining an o3d and thrill rom or just making my own, time is pressed right now so it will be a while hoping to have at least a beta in the next week or so.
Also considering the problems people are having with just getting adb working correctly i can only imagine the problems combining the two forums would cause.
How about if we merge like the Evo 3D CDMA and GSM forum? Two different sections for development but still under the same forum.

Having different radios isn't a big deal, just change the APN settings or flash a Thrill modem. I'm not sure about them having different kernels. IIRC, someone flashed the Thaiz Rom which uses a custom kernel and had no problems.

If the kernel is different wouldn't you have bricked your phone when flashing it?
Keep it separate. Its alot better this way. It keeps things and problems from happening I think

Hey all,
I am new to the fascinate (but coming from Captivate) and I was curious if any of our Devs could make a simple app that could allow us to customize how we undervolt our overclocked kernals. There is one that I have for my captivate but support for it was dissolved when the dev who created it decided to only focus on specific i9000 kernals, and unfortunately the version that still works on my captivate will not install on the fascinate. The newest version will however install, but it requires one of the supported i9000 kernals
Does anyone have the know-how to develop an app for this purpose? I found that when undervolting my over-clocked kernals to my phone's ability I could maximize battery life as well as the internal heat, while still having the phone in beast mode with OC's around 1.3ghz.
Can you link the source for it? I personally can't dev, but it may interest some devs.
I've seen it for the GSM kernels, but I don't know if it would work for our phones as the way the CPU frequency and power management is setup is entirely different from the GSM models. I agree that it was a great idea, but it looked to be over my head on how it was done.

Can you link the original thread?
There wasn't one, it was included in a few roms until he decided to partner with a certain dev to only support specific kernals. I have a several of the different versions including the older one that still works for all of the captivate kernals, I could post the apk if that would help. Would that be wrong to post his work though?
Nevermind, found this, hope it helps!

Hey guys! Was wondering what it would take to port an O3D ROM? Has anyone tried just flashing an O3D ROM on their thrill yet? Or even fastboot flashing just the system.img so as to leave the kernel alone?
You can flash any of the roms just wont get the 4g speeds.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
How do you lose 4G speeds (not sure what you mean by that either... are you saying you only lose access to the HSPA+ network, but keep you access to the HSPA network?)... anyways, how do you lose 4G speeds if these ROMs only update the system, and are not touching the kernel or radio rom? I could see some build prop differences, but wouldn't we just need to change the build prop to the Thrills?
So wait, everything works except the 4G Speeds?
They do change your kernal check out the thriller change log it says he made it so that we can flash back from o3d roms and get our stock kernal back

The P920 and the P925 have deferent Baseband radio versions, that's why the 4G doesn't work. If someone could take the radio out of the Thrill and make it in to a flashable zip that problem would be solved I'm sure we will see that once GB is released.

Has anyone tried flashing the stock Thrill kernel over top an O3D ROM? (I am going to try it now myself... well actually I repackaged an O3D with the Thrill kernel).
And what do you mean by you lose 4G? Do you keep 3G (HSPA) and just can't use 4G protocol (HSPA+)? Or do you lose HSPA all together?

All the Roms we have so far with the exception of a couple just modify the /system folder. The radio is seperate from that. What we need is a kernel. Otherwise all these roms are pretty much going to wind up the same but with different themes. That's the reason I don't want to put my Rom out til I can get a bootable kernel put together. Its pretty close to just being Thriller with an HTC sense theme at this point. The differences in the rom itself I don't think warrant a seperate release at this time.

That was my basic view point with any ROMs I made in the past... I wasn't doing anything unique or special, just making it the way I wanted in terms of apps, kernel, etc... so it was one package I flashed instead of 3 or 4.
Looking around, I don't see a lot of people working on the Thrill and was hoping I could get this figured out... I tried just taking the build.prop, ril's, kernel, and .ko's from the thrill and tossing them on a O3D build, but still didn't make a difference for the HSPA+... it makes me suspect there is something I am overlooking (which is very possible, never ported anything, even such a simple port, and I am unaware of any other standard system files that control radio functionality, rest is with the kernel and baseband itself, but both phones have the same baseband version best I can see, so likely kernel, but I am using the thrill kernel!). But at the same time, it is odd to me since I am used to other devices (HTC G2 for example) where a single ROM works on both the G2 and Desire Z...

The only difference in baseband is that the O3D doesn't support the 850 band. There may be a lib in the o3d roms that's not allowing us to use 4g that needs to be replaced from a Thrill rom. I haven't bothered snooping around yet though.

Yeah, thats what I was trying to drill down was which file was causing it, but I have replaced every file I am aware of in both the lib and bin to no avail, along with the kernel and its corresponding .ko files.
If I go the other way, though, no problem. I can take the framework and apps from an O3D ROM, drop them in a Thrill ROM, and good to go. So there is something hiding that controls which frequencies are used, question is what and where? If you have any idea what file would control that, I can search and test it for you.
So guys will everything work except the 4G speeds?

Yes, everything works just fine, just no "4G" speeds, regular 3G only (which for me I get essentially the same speeds, except on full bars I am a little slower... talking 6Mbps peak instead of 8Mbps peak).

I am using Thriller, which is a Thrill ROM. I tried Thiaz's and Kings, both were nice... but I prefer the Thriller theme, and the special add on's that those O3D ROMs have we can do manually, like the superchargerv6 script and build.prop tweaks. Sure, we don't have any kernels (yet, they are coming) but modded kernels are not a huge deal without overclocking/undervolting... there are some other tweaks that can be made, help with battery life a little bit and performance a bit, but I am pulling 3000 quadrant scores with superchargerv6 and build.prop tweaks on Thriller, plenty good enough IMHO for speed, just want a little better battery life.
So I can flash a O3D kernel on top of a Thrill ROM, and keep my "4G"... looks like the issue is isolated to the system...
this may be a stupid question, but I've ran into this before. If you flash an o3d ROM and lose your 4G, can you flash back to a thrill ROM and get your 4G back? I've had previous phones that once you changed your radio, sometimes you couldn't get it back.

Okay so looking at the roms usually I'd use cyanogen on a phone but idk if 3d works on it and well no point in a 3d phone with no 3d now I noticed a few stock roms and read someplace the optimus 3d and thrill at the same similar situation to the optimus v and the optimus s can I flash a optimus 3d ROM with no out of the ordinary worries
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
Well. Frankly that's a question everyone asks at some point. I did it a few times myself. Also why your not getting a flood of replies. There is no correct answer here. The rom you choose should be based on some criteria. My personal criteria is as follows.
1. Battery life: The rom should never suck the battery dry. Keep in mind its dependant in you following the directions on the rom and how you use your phone. I like to see atleast a full day of stock battery life with moderate use.
2. Stability: Tricky to gage. Must follow the Dev's directions to the letter. Test apps in batches and make sure its not the app causing the issue before passing judgment. Also seek help from the Dev.
3. Speed: Not to important as long as it isn't slower than stock and won't mess with #s 1 and 2.
4. Communication : Wifi, bluetooth, and network signal are paramount for me. My thrill replaced my netbook for al my needs. All this must work flawlessly. Keep in mind there is work to be done on your part. Setting APNs and so on. All listed in most Dev's install instructions.
5. Basband: is it comparable with yours? Do you know what you have? Do you know what you need? Read the rom's requirements carefully.
6. Support: as it turns out Dev support can make or break a rom. Roms can be very needy and time consuming. A Dev takes on a huge burden making then offering support for there rom. Its crucial you become involved to help the Dev out so he can spend more time manufacturing awesome for you. If a Dev has ditched a rom understand you venture in to nomans land.
Seeing as we have no clue what your needs are and what you want in a rom. I suggest you pop over in the Development forum and snoop around. Personally The Dark Lestats Kitchen Rom has more than fit me needs. The tutorials he has made taught me everything I needed to know about how to pull the pants of my LG Thrill and have some fun.
Right then thanks sorry I'm not really a noob just having a little trouble getting acclimated a also my requirements are the same but I must have speed and battery is a must

And what about 3d on cyanogen
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
My apologies. I reread that and it did come across assuming you where new lol my bad.
As far as I'm aware most of the Ginger roms have full features ie: 4G and 3D. I did notice that the baseband plays a big part in how your phone interacts between hardware and rom. Just speculation but seems to be the case.
Last Froyo rom I used was the Doomed froyo. Got all the phone features and exceeded my requirements. For ginger rom I did not try cynogen but I went threw 3 others. Lestats Kitchen rom was the only one I could use to meet and exceed my requirements. Its flexible enough you can drop another kernal that is overclocked. I did notice its not the best on V20P baseband (thanks AT&T bleh) . After I loaded the V21D baseband and APNs my phone suddenly had great battery 2 days moderate use, Bluetooth worked stable and I have not had a single ghost call.
I had to try it a few times though. First reload didn't go well cause I didn't follow the directions. After I followed the each "how to" step by step my phone was cured.
In being fare I would note that the issues were fixed after I made the above changes. I haven't tried the previous roms after the change. Thays why I didn't name them. I can't say they work well or not without proper comparison. I would suggest paying attention to the bugs that appear in multiple roms you try. Might just be the baseband and not the rom.
Lestats it the best there are so many options to go with thrill seeker I think was ditched and Acura team is good

But are they not the same phone with different radios? I mean theoretically same buttons and hardware means same "id's" for those buttons in the ROM for ATT. Like how Keys on a keyboard have special numbering, etc. How all hardware buttons function, really.
So why would an ATT ROM and root brick the phone?

Since this phone has only been out a week, you will have a little bit of a wait.
from what i've seen it is safe to flash ATT roms they just don't boot.
I flashed about 3 different roms from the i717 threads using twrp 2.2.1 and they all boot loop at the samsung logo.
restoring my t-mo backup worked fine. so there really is no danger, just a boot looping issue.
You need to flash the T-mobile boot.img to get other roms to work on the T879. Check the "Goodies" dev thread made an odin flashable tarball that you make it easy to get up and running.
May post a guide later.

I don't own a Galaxy Note, but I'm considering picking one up this week, and I was just taking a look at the forums for it. The first step toward getting a nice development section is going to be finding a user experienced in porting roms. I would say if someone doesn't start this in the next couple of weeks, maybe it would be beneficial to you guys to find someone who is good with porting, ask them for advice & possibly even start a bounty to get them a Tmo Note for rom porting purposes? My best guess at using Att roms would be replacing the boot IMG & being sure that your using the Tmo radio(I'm not sure if roms generally include a radio). If those things are correct you probably have a good chance of getting TW roms to boot. I would try it, but i wouldn't recommend it to others unless your experienced in recovering bricked devices, lol! Again, this is just a guess, as I've never ported anything. I'm sure you can find a thread here on XDA that explains the fundamentals of porting roms. If I end up purchasing one, I'm definitely going to give it a shot! I use a gs3 as my primary right now, and I'll just debating whether or not I want the Note, or just wait for the international Note 2 and wait patiently for the network refarming? The plus to the Tmo Note is that I do have an upgrade on one of my lines, so it would be considerably cheaper!
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------
If there is anyone in the thread that also owns a gs3, I would like an opinion. Are you being bothered by performance of the Note because of the lesser hardware? I still have a Tmo Gs2 around here, & after the ics update things went downhill bad in the performance department. Even w/ custom Roms, I see lag & stuttering, & I'm wondering if this is the case w/ the Note? I don't expect it to match performance of the S4 chip set, I'm really just interested in the added functionality of the Spen, so long as performance is acceptable.
Anybody have any luck getting any of the AT&T Jellybean ROMs working on the T-mobile Note?

I use a gs3 as my primary right now, and I'll just debating whether or not I want the Note, or just wait for the international Note 2 and wait patiently for the network refarming? The plus to the Tmo Note is that I do have an upgrade on one of my lines, so it would be considerably cheaper!

If there is anyone in the thread that also owns a gs3, I would like an opinion. Are you being bothered by performance of the Note because of the lesser hardware? I still have a Tmo Gs2 around here, & after the ics update things went downhill bad in the performance department. Even w/ custom Roms, I see lag & stuttering, & I'm wondering if this is the case w/ the Note? I don't expect it to match performance of the S4 chip set, I'm really just interested in the added functionality of the Spen, so long as performance is acceptable.

I also have the GSIII and as said above, the Note is a little slower but not much. I'm loving my Note and just looking for a good ROM to put on it which i'm sure will improve the speed. I also went to one of those cell phone stores that sells phones for multiple networks and got them to give me a full size SIM frame from where they used a cutter to make a micro SIM, and it works great as an adapter so I can still switch back to my GSIII with no problems.
You don't need an adapter if you're using your micro sim card on your Note. Just make sure it's align correctly and it should work. I had my sim card modified into a micro sim so I could use the iPhone 4. Still using that same sim card on my Note without an adapter.

I see there are multiple versions of the Thrill. Mine isnt really a 4G (at least not LTE). Mine is a LG-P925. Will I be able to use the ROMS in the dev section of this forum?
Just want to make 100% sure I dont mess up my phone.
Thanks!

All O3D roms.
Its the same phone.
Most devs on the O3D forum include att apns in their ROMs so its really effortless to install. I would even recommend flashing the V21E kdz rom. This baseband fixed the ghost call issue that still plagues ATT customers today.
