Is there a version of CM (7.1.3 i think) that is avail for the Tbolt? I'm looking for regular CM 7, not the nightlies. Thanks!

dont let "nightly" in the title fool you. RIL has not yet been integrated into the CM trunk, so there are no nightly builds yet. what we have is a very nicely done alpha version whipped up by slayher,wich is what the thread is discussing.

there are quite a few of us now on RC0.6 and it works fantasticlly. give it a shot :)

I was talking to a guy who works at radio shack and he said he's running 7.1.3 or whatever on his EVO 4g and he gets about 30 hrs on a stock battery. He said its because the phone slows down a lot when the screen is off. Is this kind of battery life possible with this ROM (for the bolt)?

depends on your useage,id say right now 30 hours with even minimal use is somewhat of a stretch.

keep in mind the evo has been out a long time,they have the RIL petty well figured out,and its supported with nightly builds,and therefore release candidates.

right now,we only have a handfull of developers,with most of the development being done by one,trying to get the TB merged into the CM trunk. while the main developer(slayher) has made us up a very nice rom with a working radio to hold us over,its not quite the same as a nightly build with proper RIL. the radio works,but still has bugs to be worked out.

what this means is that we have a working rom,with a functional radio. 4g,3g,phone calls all work... but sometimes not as seemlessly as it will when its 100% right. for example sometimes when handing off 4g to 3g or to wifi,you may need to toggle airplane mode to get it working. or you may have to toggle 4g on and off in phone settings. as such... the radio is prolly using up alot more battery than it should.

i personally get 12-15 hours of fairly heavy use,and i think its great for how things are this stage in the game. the TB is verizons first 4g phone... its gonna take some time to get it all figured out :)
