I love the inc dev community!

So wait, HOW exactly do we use this? I don't think we can boot it into an emulator...I've tried loading ROM packages into the Android emulator (for personal use only), and haven't gotten anything other than the "stock" emulator image to appear...and yes I've read through the interwebs, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Trying to do it by summer, though.

The thunderbolt is shipping with 2.2.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I know, I just read that afterwards. Sadly...it'll prob get 2.3 though (after 6 months like every other HTC phone gets updated lol).

So couple of things. This download is hugh lol and has anyone tryed the radio in it yet just woundering if maybe we might see a chance of being able to access the lte network (wishfull thinking) if no one has do it by time i get home witch i will about 9pm i will do it well see what happens lol. other than that is it really gingerbread with sense.

No Gingerbread, it ships with 2.2 (I asked that question too lol).
And I think that the 4G radio is a hardware thing, not software . Good wishful thinking though XD

yea no joke but hey new radio no telling what good it could it do though.

True that. The Mecha doesn't only run on 4G, but 3G also, so it might up our data speeds. Theoretically. I mean, it kind of makes sense for that to be the case.

No, that doesn't kinda make any sense at all.

It doesn't? Aw darnit... lol.

The radio.img controls much more than just 3G/4G. It controls other hardware in the device, and flasing a bad radio is the only (afaik) definitive way to turn your incredible (or any other device) into a shiny paperweight.

To use the 4G network, the phone would need LTE bands in addition to the CDMA bands, which the Incredible probably doesn't have.
I remember a few months ago, however, when someone found some 4G stuff in the Incredible system files. Something about it was supposed to go to Sprint but ended up going to Verizon at the last minute. So there could be a chance the Incredible has the capability to run on LTE, I guess.
I could be completely wrong, and it's mostly just speculation, but, yeah.

4g LTE requires a sim card
So even if our device had the capability somehow it doesn't at the same time

root already is available, amazing.
I will buy this phone if the bootloader is unlocked and when there is a good ROM to flash, hopefully this won't be longer than about a month because I really want this phone.

I'm waiting too, but I suspect that by the time this bootloader gets unlocked (if it ever happens), the Nexus Prime will be out, and will be awesome.

Just got mine this afternoon. Rooted & debloated, it's awesome. I never use stock tons, but in this case, it's not bad....

i got mine a few hours ago. i can't put it down. love browsing the web using firefox 4 in webtop. just need to grab a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. currently using the webtop adapter right now. the on screen keyboard is a tad slow, but won't be an issue with a real blue tooth keyboard. cant wait for devs to get ahold of this monster!

Car Dock Mode
I've been around smartphones a long time and have owned most of all types on the market. The Thunderbolt is a sweet phone with some of the new custom ROMs installed. Being the technology junky that I am I had to try out the Bionic. Nice. Smooth Smooth Smooth. I had to work at making the Thunderbolt what it should have been from HTC and Verizon, but the Bionic comes that way out of the box.
I travel a great deal, the Bionic is spot on in the car dock. I use Car Dock Ultra with Audible books, Google Nav, Google Places, etc etc. This phone does it all, no hesitation, no faults - it just works.
I rooted so I could use tether occasionally on the road but for now that is a no go. Still got my Bolt so I can still get it done.
Nice phone.

This thread doesn't have ANYTHING to do with development for the Bionic, but someone decided to sticky it? lol

Plus it's a brand new phone. It'll take time for seriously dev-related stuff to become available. Take a chill pill brother.

Its a little black box that plugs into your phone. I have an idea what it does but not sure. The funny part is, I have one.

any eta on recovery?

Bionic got it last night, just curious if anyone knows when we might see it? Thanks.

I have to admit I'm a little bummed that the Bionic got recovery and cvpcs has already successfully booted CM7 on it... where's our devs at?

They're going elsewhere because they're tired of hearing everyone whining and complaining that they aren't doing enough

I'm not complaining. I understand that it is largely a payless and thankless job. I'm just saying it sucks that a phone that has only been out for 9 days already has more development for it then one that has been out almost 3 months when the hardware is essentially the same. I mean, the Bionic got Fastboot Recovery in like 5 days when it took us 2 months. I'm aware that we will get everything the Bionic does, it just seems like we'll always be second in line. In the long run it doesn't matter, both phones will have 2nd-init and ICS/CM8 in the future.

Lol...not complaining. Was just curious.

I do not like the demanding attitude some people seem to have, so I'm not sure it's even worth to reply in this thread ... anyway ...
Keep in mind it took a lot of time to have D3 even rooted, while Bionic users and devs just benefitted from the D3 root exploit.

I too am honestly a bit pissed that the bionic got more attention given it is riding the dev wave of d3.
Oh well.

A couple have guys have been working side by side with cvpcs to get it up and running. They're making sure that there aren't any bugs before they release it.
The last thing we want is ruining a bunch of D3's because we released it early. They said a release today is probably a good bet.

Who's demanding? I was just curious. I didn't think this thread was gonna turn into a crapstorm.

I bet part of the reason the bionic is getting all this attention is the fact that its been out for months in the form of the atrix. Plus the amount of hype it has had over the last several months. Recovery is coming along nicely for our D3's

Yeah, I'm not worried about being passed up for the Bionic. I know we will get all the same releases. Just sucks being second best I suppose.

Yeah, I get no data in the school I work in (hurricane shelter) and no 4G coverage at my house.

I have heard that a 3G phone on WiFi is as fast as 4G. That said the 4G/3G is really a non issue. With my D1 it rocked, CM7 nightlies #175, jdlfg 1266mhz @1100, Koush-Any-Kernel-b0e8859, Superuser 3.0 beta 4 efgh, Quardant Standard 1741. D3 will be out front always. I am satisfied to be in the mix. Bionic can do its lap dance, I'll watch. We're all winning, thats whats so great about this. All glory to the DEvs.

[Q] wifi signal

First, thanks to mtmichaelson and other senior members for making it so very easy for a novice to make his phone into a whole new animal. I am looking at rooting etc my wife's Droid Incredible 2 and it was much easier doing my revo.
I have been reading this forum for a while before I made the leap. I like everything about my phone except my wifi signal strength. I know it is not my router as my wife's Dinc2 can sit next to mine with full bars and I only have 2 or 3. Is their a tweak to help increase this? I have looked at the tweak page that spc_hicks09 but am not sure if the net speed tweaks would help boost my wifi.
Thanks for any input, this forum has been great.

I am in the process of rooting and rom'ing my wife's dinc2. I am just wondering if there are any Revo wifi tweaks to help my Revo pull a stronger signal. I can be 15 feet from my router and only have 3 bars, while every other wireless device (laptop, ipod, wii, dinc2) all show full bars.
I am very happy with the performance difference in my phone and I haven't even Blitzed it yet.
And thanks for the offer to help. If I hit any snags with the dinc2, I will ask.

Stopping by and Saying Hi! Giving an update on my whereabouts

Hey guys!
It has been a while since I have stopped over here to the DROID 3 community and peeped a "Hello" in so I thought I would say Hi and get ya up to speed on where I've been.
So I last posted around uhhh maybe 3 weeks ago here and as some of you know I recently bought a Droid 4. I have been in the Droid 4 community for all this time, and a lot of people from the D3 community moved to the D4 like me.
Most went D3 > D4, but I went D3 > Bionic > D4, but nonetheless I got a Droid 4.
If I have to say anything the Droid 3 development community was the NICEST community I've ever had the privilege to have an experience with. I know I didn't have my Droid 3 that long, but in the short 4 months I had one active, I had my best experiences. I developed, I leaked updates, I never got b**ched at for asking a simple question (P.S. Droid Incredible 2 community) and EVERYBODY was nice. Still is nice.
I miss coming here. I seriously do. I reached out to this community for prayers for a personal problem, and I almost NEVER post anything about something as serious as that was when that happened with my nephew and his grandmother. I almost NEVER post something that serious but I had grown so fond of all of you I knew I could trust you guys by posting it. I was right. I will most likely never meet a community as nice as you guys are.
Even though I had bad luck with the Droid 3, I loved my Droid 3. If anybody wants a new phone, a Droid 4 is a great option. I love mine!
I wanted to stop by and say that I will try to come around here more as I know more about the Droid 3 and Droid 4 then just about any other phone out there.
I'd also like to know how everybody has been doing. Just to say, my family is fine and recovered from our bump in the road back in early May (or Late April; I have a hard time remembering the time period) and nothing serious has happened since then.
So I thought I'd post this and let you know about my whereabouts and say Hi.
Don't hesitate to respond!

Things have definitely slowed down here.
I wanted the Droid 4 (don't think I can get it here in Canada) but what's with the back cover removal tool? Kills me.
I hope more keyboard Androids come out... I'm ready to move on.

Thanks for the update! And im glad your family is doing ok :] best wishes for your future endeavors, and thanks for everything you contributed to the droid3

I got my D4 from here for a good deal... so far it's been treating me well on Rogers!
You should probably do the same... Although the new swype is pretty awesome, maybe you could find a deal on the RAZR. I am frequenting the RAZR and D4 forums now also...

Goin with the HTC Raider! Should be here tomorrow. Woohooo!

Maybe off ebay and then unlocked it, which is what I was planning on doing since they released that update which unlocked the GSM functionality.

LaZiODROID,
I bought mine off of here, on XDA in the marketplace. Then I loaded up the latest leak at the time, no unlock required! It just comes up and says unknown SIM when it boots up... Not a huge deal. So far it's way better, and it gives me better bettery life. I think the Bell XT860 really liked being on 3G, but this one doesn't mind going onto EDGE when 3G signal is bad (which is most of the day for me in the office)
