So tonight I found out why I loved my Droid so much... I installed the newest cm7 via ROM manager, first time using it pretty nifty, went and installed a new oc kernel that oced to 1.25. Ran a benchmark on quadrant standard and the revo only does 200 points better... I miss that old hunk. If it had a 4G radio I would still be on it lol

CM7 is no promise that your phone will suddenly be perfect. The revo will also need to be added to the official device list to truly make CM7 on the phone awesome. Then we will get real dev support (that is not a knock on anyone here or Cubed just have the actual cyanogen guys supporting the device is preferred)

I'm getting ready to dump this sob of a phone... I mean the battery sucks so bad, I cant go a full day without it dying on me and I hardly ever use it, I'll lock my phone and look at it like 10 min later, when no apps are even running and i'll be down quite a bit of battery (I've had to tone down usage A LOT coming from an Atrix 4g, I could go a couple days with some heavy use and not have to charge it, and now it seems like whenever I get the chance I have no choice but to throw this phone on a charger)
Besides the fact of a poor battery, I've always hated LG, they have crap for customer service and phone support, I figured something might change with this phone, but nope...
I was hoping for a GB update soon, but looks like those dreams are crushed after reading something on LG forums saying they probably won't release a GB update EVER! LG and ATT can go die...
Also the community for the thrill is relativity small and it seems like Dev's have very little to offer or gave up on this phone all together...
I figured I'm going to jump back on board with the Atrix 4G or 2... I'm undecided as of right now
So this is goodbye to everyone else who is in this community and noticed my little efforts in helping Peace

Well besides all the other reasons, did you try getting a different battery. I have no problem getting over a day's life of battery out my thrill with medium useage. The only thing that really kills it are the 3d games. Stock 2.2.2, rooted with about half of AT&ts bloat ware removed. I read somewhere (not sure where) about bad batteries shipped with a lot of these phones.
Yeah, the upgrade part and lack of support are downers, but overall this phone really is good. My uncle got the new Droid Razer and my phone out performed it on all the benchmark tests that we compared head to head.
At the very least, Rogers releasing GB is a sure sign ATTs GB has to be right around the corner.
Captivate (July 2010 release - updated to froyo 8 months later)
Infuse (May 2011 release - updated to gb 8 months later)
See the pattern......it's all at&!
Well I did that Rogers GB update... aside from the huge headache it took to get on my phone and all the crap apps from Rogers and what not...its a solid update. The battery is by far better I can tell you that for sure I'm happy and might just stay with this phone if it holds up tomorrow and on Tuesday...
Its so much smoother and my internet is blazing fast compared to froyo, for those who haven't tried this, I suggest you do so ASAP.

So the revolution is my wife's phone and i apologize if this was posted because i dont follow these forums.
She was having a problem with the charging port not working. The cable had to be perfectly placed in the port for the phone to charge. Called verizon and they said they are out of replacement revolutions. Offered me a Droid charge, I asked for something else, they offered me a Thunderbolt, asked again for something else and the rep said no. I very politely said I wasn't fond of either phone and asked again if there was anything else. Ended up getting the Rezound.
Just an FYI.
If you go that route don't tell them that you have had a insurance replacement I tried but I had a insurance replacement it is still being sent to me free of charge cause it is under warranty but evidently asurion has a stock pile of these I'm going to try a few times in a row to see if they will budge but with all the minor issues with this phone it's easy to get a warranty replacement. Only thing that sucks is going back to stock to send it back.

You should try porting some of those Galaxy Nexus themes for the Revo
This is the third separate thread saying you can get a better phone for the REVO.
makes me want to try it, since without GingerVolt my phone restarts all the time.

My phone's fine just kinda bored with it. GingerVolt is great and all but there's not enough developers. I'd love to learn but I don't know where to start.

I'm still having issues with my revo I wonder if I should try getting another model from them now. I've kinda just given up lately on this whole phone and it's making me depressed -_-. I can't do nothing with it without it freezing, rebooting, getting way to hot to touch, etc.
I just hate that the bluetooth never worked rooted or not. I try to be legal when driving and the bluetooth always failed.

I'm not sure what your Bluetooth issue is, but I don't think it's the phone. I've used mine with two different stereos for making calls as well as streaming audio with no issues at all.

Yes. But I wanted to go back to the Droids again.

I have done a lot of research and I think the Razr Maxx is the way to go. It is the only 4G Big-Screen Android that comes with a battery that will last all day without charging.

They're basically the same phone except the battery, and now there is a $118 kit for the Razr to adapt the MAXX battery, so why not save the money and get the MAXX right off the bat.
Or get the last developer phone Verizon will likely every get.
Galaxy all the way.

Need input, guys.
I've got a Bolt and a guy off of Craigslist is offering to trade his two day old Revolution with extended battery for my Bolt with extended battery.
What do you guys think about that? How does your phone compare? Is there good development for the Revolution? I only saw a couple of active ROMS on here.

There's mainly one ROM creater, MT, but the thunderbolt is getting ICS and prolly has more devs. Its up to you. But LG support for this phone sucks. If you like the t bolt stick with it.

This is my opinion but keep the Thunderbolt. I was gonna choose that phone over the Revo but I chose the Revo and I'd say it was my biggest mistake since I like the Bolt more but the Revo's community is quite nice and welcoming not so sure about the Thunderbolt's.

As of right now the only way to root it is to manually flash it with ZV7. You can then use MT's tools to root it, get your update to ZV8, and finally flash the Broken Out 1.1 ROM (which is awesome by the way).

Welcome to the forum please feel free to post and ask questions, there are a lot of supportive people here that make the revo shine.
The downside is theres only a few rom devs the upside is the commun. While small its personal and you get the help you need quick. No cm7 yet but the roms we do have are solid and get updated quickly and often.
Well the guy backed out on it but I appreciate the positivity. Definitely lacking that on the Bolt forum.

I have both... the infuse kills the thrill at battey life... you can easily get a full day with the latest cm7 Rom on it...
However its only a single core processor so its not as powerful as the thrill...
Also the thrills screen looks better in sunlight then the infuses super amoled + display believe it or not...
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.

Nooo! Don't do it. Thrill is like a young puppy. You train it well and the darn little thing is your best friend. You let the someone else train it and it couldn't care less what you want.

Great question!
Also did you calibrate the battery after any rom changes?
How are you managing your background processes?
Can you provide us with a list of apps and the details of your rom
Version and so on?
Lastly what options or scripts did you run with V6 Supercharger? Are you sure they are sticking on boot or did you setup to run on boot per second script (can't remember the name that one.) ?
