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)

Bionic Or Thunderbolt

Hey guys Verizon needs to replace my Thunderbolt and after so many replacements they offered me a bionic. Would it be a good choice over my Bolt? We have S-off and Unlocked bootloader.

Pros of bionic:
Dual core 1.0ghz
1gb ram
Lots of great devs
Cons:
Stock has blur
Locked bootloader
And it's moto so probably no stock ics for about a year
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium

another PRO for Bionic is killer long battery life since the .901 update, .902 is killer battery life also.

I uses to have the thunderbolt. The bionic is a much better phone.

Yeah this one's a no brainer. Get the bionic.
Regarding the above cons:
• Hexec workaround was recently posted allowing for custom kernels. This was really the last issue caused by the locked bootloader. In less than a month it will be old news
• There are CM9, AOKP, AOSP, and MIUI variants of ICS available now and improving daily. Who needs stock ICS?
My buddy has a tbolt and there's no comparison in the speed, responsiveness and battery life.

Bionic is on it's way with free extended battery

Well I told her I use the extended battery on my thunderbolt and told her that 4G phones have poor battery life. So she said ok free extended battery.
And now I'm getting $40 from a coworker for the thunderbolts extended battery and the verizon case I had. :thumbup:

I think the skilled developers are on Motorola though. Look at what these guys are doing with a locked bootloader. We got a handful of ice cream with a locked bootloader. How much more can they do if it was unlocked.

im part of a concession line and we get upgrades every year. best buy mobile has been treating me so well that i just ended up buying the bionic. i got a tbolt for free and it was a great phone but when bionic came out like 2 months later i bought the bionic. i got it for 230 at cowboom.com. thats were we send all our phones that we get returned or serviced. its EXTREMELY cheap. spread it. i love my bionic and i plan on selling it tho. im using my tbolt because i got the infected rom on it with beats. i like it but i kind of miss my bionic. either way rezound here i come!!

Why would you NOT trade your garbage 3G tBolt for a bionic? Even if you had the data issues with the bionic, it's 100x better.

Actually now that I've had it I would have taken a bolt again is so weird all this stuff you have to do to flash anything. And it seems lime the only roms out are ics which are ok but still too many things broken for me. And there are no stock like roms with alot of features like on sense. But I like the phone. I just had more options on the bolt being I'm a themer I want something solid I can theme. But the bolt was the best phone for everything. And my data connection and speed is the same on both phones.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

One thing though is the bionic screen and colors in it suck big time
And the rom selection on the bolt was crazy huge.

LG Revolution for HTC Thunderbolt?

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.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium

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.

Haha. Yeah there are some prima donnas on the Bolt message boards. Well he's agreed to give me his Revolution with 3000mAh battery plus $40 for my Bolt with 2 extended batteries (2400&2600mAh) and Trident Extended Battery cases.
Are there any recommended extended battery cases for the Revolution?

There are no cases for the revo that fit the extended battery. Sucks

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).

Got it. So just downgrade to ZV7 and then root.
Cool. I'll mess with that in a couple of days. Thanks for the help.

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.

If you want a fully functional ROM, go with eclipse or kinetx. ALL of the ICS roms are still BETAs and updates LAG immensely. Jus so you know.

Went with Eclipse 2.2 with Titanium theme. Solid so far.
Now, the true test: battery life!
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

yep the ics roms are actually ics. they have no hardware acceleration yet though so flash doesn't work. also depending on what area your in ppl have problems with data drops. when it drops you gotta reboot to get it back. we need to get an official moto update with a better kernel and ics drivers to get it really solid.

[Q ] Rezound to Bionic.

So I recently shattered the screen on my Rezound
Thinking of getting a Bionic since Big Red has them for free. What do you guys think of the Bionic? Is development going strong? And do ICS ROMs exist? Are they stable enough to be a daily driver? Any input is welcomed
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

If your warranty allows it, get another Rezound.
Development is not that active. Eclipse is the only active Gingerbread-base ROM available. Team Gummy & Hive Dev are doing ICS ROMs but since the locked bootloader of the Bionic prevents kernel changes, ICS is not 100% functional.

Well I have insurance on my Rezound but I don't have the $99 for the insurance claim and I have an upgrade on my plan now. Anything is better than the DX I'm using right now haha

I agree. I have the Bionic and my wife has the Rezound. I feel like I got the short end of the stick here.
You're better off to stay with the X and save up the insurance deductible, IMHO.
That being said, the Bionic ICS ROMs are nice, but they all have the silly camera issues. Those might not be resolved until an official Moto ICS is released. You can take pictures using the cameras, but no video, and no barcode scanners, etc.
Eclipse is a nice Gingerbread ROM. It's what I'm running now.

What if I could have both? Haha the upgrade is my moms, so it won't add time to my line. And later I can send the Rezound in to the insurance and get it fixed. Then I will have both. I don't see the downside in trading this DX for a Bionic for free. Because I cannot stand this phone after having my Rezound.

Personally I'm a big fan of the Bionic. I got mine on release day last September and haven't had any major problems in all that time. I'm rooted and stock, with about 45 bloatware apps frozen. Each time there's an update I just unfreeze, update and refreeze with TiBu. Works great. If you don't want to spend the money for another Rezound I say go for it.

Unfortunately this is no longer an option for me. My girlfriend decided it would be a good idea to dump gatorade on her uninsured Rhyme. So now the upgrade will be going to her. Looks like I'll just have to bite the bullet and make an insurance claim

Lol phone 101 class? ?? I get my phones from Verizon . I cant help the data drop issues ( which is a KNOWN issue with this phone ) do a google search on the data drops and you will clearly see its not just me. If it dont bother you that the data drops off multiple times a day and you are used to sub par performance and you dont mind paying for data droppage thats you but I personally want my phone to work . The 905 update is rolling out to try and fix the DATA DROP ISSUE. There you have your first phone 101 lesson.
