TeamBlackHat App

Team Black Hat has released an app in Market with a new Tranquility and a Deodexed updated Froyo. You can download such as Rom Manager from within the app.

I downloaded but I am going to wait on a changelog before I flash it.

Well...I downloaded the latest tranquility and the version says FlyX.01 Final and the android versionis pre leak 13.

Downloaded the app and the latest Tranq release since I had a few issues with the last one. This one feels better to me than the previous. Wonder what they changed.

Are you sure you downloaded 2.3.5 RC? Or it installed correctly?
I just installed successfully. Still on 2.3.13.
Don't see any differences so far. I am curious about the changes too.
Edit: Just noticed Froyo 2.3.15 there. Downloading now!

Oooooh a new leak! Let us know if you notice anything new.

Ok, Froyo 2.3.15 and Tranquility 2.3.5rc installed smoothly, but when I tried applying Onix Gala X theme from ROM Manager, I got stuck at the M logo. Battery pull solved the issue. So I'll try applying the theme manually.
I haven't noticed anything new so far from the short time I spent browsing around the phone. I'm dying to see the change logs lol!
Edit: manually installing Gala X theme worked =)
Edit2: I'm not sure if it was true for 2.3.13, but in this one Flash shows up in the Market.

In the market for 2.3.13 too, noticed it today .

can you install 2.3.15 and Tranquility?

Yes... that is exactly what I did.

Okay... Not trying to sound like an ass but this has been eating away at me for a good twelve hours or so....
You are paying for an app. Cool idea in my opinion.
You are also paying for access to mods. Not unheard of.(supporting is good)
Lots of hype for access to something no one else has.
Using the hype to, in a way, make people donate for your work that is kind of iffy. I like what those guys are trying to do but I do not like how they are doing it. I just can't quite hit on the point I am trying to make but I feel something scetchy is going on here. Thus, I go back to... Paying for an app that creates access to what they are making. Cool idea in my opinion.
God I hope I don't get flamed to hard for this.... Trying hard not to be a Debbie Downer.

Those that are satisfied with the Tranquility roms will likely donate. Although I do believe the leak itself should be available to the general public.

We should post QR Codes when mentioning an app in the market. Also, please check your grammar, sucks trying to figure out what you meant when typos happen.

I understood what he said just fine.

Dude I understand you have your opinion, but if you don't want to support, then you may just have to wait for someone else to find a leak source in one of the MOST locked down firmware arenas for android, TBH is doing an amazing job! THREE 2.2 updates before motosuck released its first!? They deserve the two bucks for the app. Mind you this is coming from a person who has only purchased one app for his droid x; the one we are talking about. Besides with all the C&D motosuck has been throwing around this is a resonable alternative to insure we get the content we want. OH! And not to mention tranquility is one of the best alternatives to motoblur out right now, $2 seems like a VERY small price to pay for no hassle dl's and quick update potential. Thank you again Team Black Hat for all the hard work! I see kernel's in the near future.... Wahoo!

No, you don't have to. When asked about new change log on twitter, P3Droid said he'll provide it when he releases Tranquility to everyone. So my understanding is he'll make it available to general public soon.

ok kewl!!!!!!!!!!!

So instead of charging for something that might possibly be construed as _his_ work, he's really just charging for Motorola's software that he paid someone to steal from them. Classy move.

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.

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

because of the stickers....

How did you get it?

Hey does that last picture show the camera lens & flash in a protected section from the rest of the back? Any other pic always makes them look embedded (especially the camera lense)

Wow you have 26 tabs open on your first picture!
P.S. how is the battery life for ya?

I'm guessing it's one of the earlier production models, not the latest revision. All of the review models have been different.

I usually communicate more with texts than anything. Also a moderate (sometimes heavy) data user, and have 2-3 email accounts synced. I'm hoping this thing will last me from when I wake up till at least an hour two before bed. Wishful thinking?

Even Chris Pirillo fell for that 'lag' exercise/flicking the screen when showing the N4 versus iPhone...I'm like..HELLO! WHO the f uses their phone that way!?! No one. Period. It's a stupid exercise that proves nothing. Compare the units in NORMAL navigation, and you MIGHT detect smoother operation, but I detect it as SLOWER operation.

Yeah gotta love the videos that list specs, or just has a person ranting off to the camera.... Um there are better formats, like text & pictures for those kinds of things. Keep up the reviews, It'll keep me busy until my ordered N5 ships.
