And the kernel source would help fix a lot of the hardware issues within this. It would make life a lot easier. But this is all open source. As long as you gave cyanogen credit for the code there's not a dam thing they can do. Per the open source agreement. ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Wow, now we're starting to get somewhere!

Note: I take full credit for getting the sh** to the fan :D

kornyone: I think that it is essential to keep this type of thing out in the open. As you said, you spent quite some time working to get it to where it is. Now if somebody else takes the ball from this point forward, isn't it nice to give them a springboard to get moving rather than force them to start over from scratch?

I really do *TRULY* appreciate you offering out your work like this. It is bound to help someone out, maybe even CM.

Now it is interesting the direction that CM is going. Now personally, I've never really liked their work... there is the odd nice feature they add in, but all in all, it seems to be that it is a tad too bloated and a touch too unstable for my taste.

The other option is, of course, a more pure AOSP build.....

Whatever happens, I'm definitely going to be diving into this code as much as I can.... hopefully some time this weekend I should have the opportunity to study it.

Now my question.... you've mentioned that the doubleshot is very similar to the sensation. Interestingly, it *LOOKS* a lot more like VISION. I don't suppose it might be a *blend* between the two...?

FYI: I wouldn't get my hopes up about someone "at CM" doing the hard work. Very difficult to work on something unless you actually HAVE one. :eek:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
Well...

Long story short, I will be working on CM7 for the Doubleshot (MyTouch4g Slide).

I have no ETAs, and I will likely not release anymore builds until I feel it's reasonably stable. I have removed the proof of concept build I had up two days ago, as well as privatized my repo.

I spoke with the CyanogenMod team to get the permission I said I wanted before proceeding.

If anyone out there wants to help out with this, send me a PM.

Cheers.

What data?

If you have the settings correct, you will automatically restore when you get to the new phone.

If you have a rooted G2, then you get Titanium backup. Then you have to root the new phone and you can restore.

One problem that I found is that I miss many of the customizations of the user interface.

Something that more than makes up for that is the excellent camera and camera app.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Awesome, this should be amazing. I will dig into it more later this week. Just finished my kernel and senseless rom. I really want to get this working
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xiaq:
@kornyone

It's sooooooo good to see the porting start happening!! As a beginning kernel and Android developer, I'm more than willing to test CyanogenMod on MT4GS (and file bug reports, and possibly even submit a patch or two). Having set up a 64bit Archlinux (to the uninformed: compiling Android on Linux requires a 64bit environment, for some weird reason) I will be trying to build CM from scatch.

Eagerly looking forward to your excellent work!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Hotshot205:
At this point I rather see htc release the source code and we get a full senseless asop rom so we can keep our cam fully working. That's just me ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
You need sense framework inorder to have sense camera. If we get an aosp build we will have an aosp type camera and not the full sense camera. My senseless rom is the only way of getting full camera compability
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Hotshot205:
I know that's why I'm stick with your rom and not cm rom. I did buy this phone to use the amazing camera. So I'm just try for the source code to drop.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
You're NOT LISTENING.

The camera will work fine. Source or not makes no difference.

What you will NOT get with an AOSP build is SENSE, which means that you'll use the AOSP CAMERA APPLICATION instead of HTC's **** camera application. The camera will still work fine.

THEY ARE NOT RELEASING THE SOURCE FOR SENSE, JUST THE LINUX KERNEL MODIFICATIONS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
The sense camera isnt **** at all. Its the aosp camera That is pure ****. If you saw one next to the other the difference is night and Day. The sense camera is simply amazing. ANY person using an aosp rom and owns an HTC phone wishes they could have both the sense camera and aosp rom together. Your opinion is horribly incorrect.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Hotshot205:
Thanks Undeadk9 for that post we seen eye to eye ever since I've been posting about the mytouch 4g slide. And coming from an G2 to an mytouch 4g slide your so right about the cam. Just how you was saying before I even got the phone. Thanks for all your insight and work on the senseless rom.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
The camera is hardware. The interface makes no real difference in terms of how the camera actually works. If you want post processing, you can't do a decent job on a phone one way or another. I, for one, can't stand sense anything, and find the AOSP camera to be considerably more useful.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
Camera opinions from a former G2 user

I went from a G2 to the Slide because of Asurion. They didn't have a G2.

I have always been a couple of megapixels ahead of the curve on my phones over the last several years. WHen the world had 1.3, I had 2. When they had 2, I had 3. I went from my 8MP Samsung Memoir to the 5MP G2.

Now the MT4GS has a great camera. With the basic camera on the G2, it was adequate. The Samsung had panorama stitching. The G2 had still or camcorder. That's it. The Slide has all the features of a mid range point and shoot camera.

The focusing, panorama, face detection, focus zones, HDR picture taking are all fantastic compared to the G2. I have tried and/or paid for a dozen different camera apps for the G2 and none were as easy and comprehensive as the stock app in my Slide.

And the one feature that I have used most (I've only had this for two weeks) is the straight to camera unlock. I paid for Widget Locker and then uninstalled it over the lack of straight to camera by the button. I should have read the forum before I paid for that one.

Comparing just the G2 to the Slide, it is definitely the software that makes the camera shine.

I am not a hardware or software expert. I just know that without good software behind the hardware, the camera is just a camera.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Hotshot205:
Correct sandiegoan! That's what me and undead is trying to say. I too usually have the latest and greatest phone out(hardware keyboard wise) and the MT4S is by far the best cam I've used on a phone to date and I have a ton of unlocked nokia phones as well. The cam software does make this cam shine. Simple as that.

Relax dude, don't bother the dev. There will be a github when it's ready.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Aeikozz:
Translation yes it's dead
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
I dont want to bother the dev, but unless he's planning on porting everything himself, he should at least supply a buildspec, github and I'd bet you that CM will be ported faster than when htc finally decides to release the damn kernel source code. And maybe some people may learn a thing or two watching this process unfold?

Isnt htc bound to release within a certain time frame to abide by the gplv3? Anybody know of such?

I'm just saying. It only takes 2 mins to let others on xda know that the project aint dead. I dont mean to sound ****, but its not nice to say speak as though itll be semifunctional very soon and supply nothing but the cmstats, to not reply to pm, and then go ahead and delete the buildspec from his github so nobody can get it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Aeikozz:
i come barring good news and CONFIRMATION!

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-7-1-released

There are many devices still in beta status (Pyramid, Doubleshot, Shooter, HP Touchpad, Optimus 3D, several more) that we will be promoting to release or release-candidates in the next few weeks when the code is merged to our main branch.

So yeah, Doubleshot is in beta. Now where this beta is, a whole another story. But hey at least we have something that says the project is alive and not dead.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Excellent news. Cant wait.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
nice i can't wait to for the release. My question is are they making their own kernel by scratch or just using the stock kernel for now?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
They might have an insider so they probably already got the source code.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
Really? Is that what usually happens with Cm when kernels are delayed?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
Alright... Fine. lol. I gots a general question for anybody who can possibly answer it. If the HTC Doubleshot can be made to boot Cyanogenmod without the kernel source using the stock kernel, and Cyanogenmod for HTC Sensation..

a.) To reuse the stock kernel, would I have to split the boot.img file into two (ramdisk+someOtherFile=boot.img) and then recombine using the boot.img file of the HTC Sensation?

b.) If I was to compile from CM github source and wanted to create a build configuration for the mytoutch 4g slide, I know the first step would be to modify the /android/device/htc/extract-files.sh script to adb pull the correct libs. What's a good bash command to change all instances of a certain specification listed in a mk file so lunch will work properly without error when I select htc_doubleshot-eng as the rom to compile?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
My senseless rom is the best of both worlds. Awesome sense camera and aosp look.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
Well..... Not that I don't appreciate your contributions or dislike your rom b/c I actually prefer it over the stock sense rom.. but I don't think your rom has anything AOSP about it. Its just the stock T-mobile Sense rom with enough bloat taken out for the rom to still function and the Gingerbread launcher preinstalled. I can't see anything AOSP about it other than that launcher that comes preinstalled. 8/

As for the topic of Cyanogenmod on the MT4GS, I took a look at the HTC Sensation and saw that it indeed is using many of the same hardware specs. Can't the buildspecs be converted from HTC Sensation to HTC Doubleshot ; keeping specs that are identical between phones? Then hopefully, maybe, somebody can post a semi-working buildspec somewhere to get this ball rolling?

If this guy who says he cooked a semi-working version of the rom using HTC Sensation specs + Stock Kernel really did do that, why would he even bother to delete his github entry for doubleshot instead of leaving it up so people can contribute? Apparently it's bull if he's just gonna leave this thread out to dry like this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Actually i compiled numerous aosp (2.3.4) apks in the rom as well, heres a Run down of just a few....calculator, Calendar, calendarprovider, carhome, desk Clock, email, Genie widget, live wallpapers, live wallpaper picker, protips, sound recorder, etc etc etc sooooooo ya Its more involved then a simple cut and paste operation. Tons of theming, compiled aosp apps, ported Froyo launcher from LG G2x and Themed it gingerbread, Tons of bloat removal, several recode operations in aosp apps to make them compatible. Yes kornyone Did successfully get us cyaogen but it had a lot of issues. I never got a chance to see the source code so i couldnt really do anything to fix the issues. Just Wait for OFFICIAL SUPPORT. Cyanogen has made it clear its going to add Doubleshot to its support list. Just be patient guys.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] b3y0ndd34th:
The only thing I think your rom is missing is the Genius button, I tried using the files and flashing them but I had no luck so I used your Doubleshot stock rom and Bloater to take care of most of the extra junk... I kinda like the Genius button :) Been thinking about throwing your AOSP rom back on and Using vlingo though... jsut haven't convinced myself to try it yet.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
You didnt read my op then. There is a flashable zip in the second post below the main op. Give it whirl.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] b3y0ndd34th:
Yay it seemed to work this time! Now could you throw in that Weather app I was kinda fond of it :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Weather junk added 55mb of bloat. Thats staying out of my senseless ROM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] b3y0ndd34th:
WOW that's a lot of junk lol, I understand why you cut it out now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
seems like we wont have to wait much longer on cm7, i expect to see more info about this in a couple weeks or so
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
I dunno about "a couple" of weeks. I mean, all the resources are available for compiling CM7 (or any other AOSP rom for that matter) since the kernel source has been released and all. If they Cyanogenmod team already had beta before HTC officially released the kernel it would mean that they would have had a head start.

I mean even if they didn't have a head start, those guys always got a couple surprises up their sleeves you know? I'm hoping somebody just compiles aosp if its not CM7.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
If you want CM on the Doubleshot, give them time. I already let Cyanogen know via Twitter that the source code is out there.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
this is exactly what i said when i first started rooting my phone
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Aeikozz:
i have a feeling simply because of the camera probably is why we aren't getting CM7.

we'll probably get CM8 which will probably be based of off Ice Cream Sandwich which will have the New Standard Camera in it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] giangdude:
They have a beta for it, so we're getting CM7 eventually.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Aeikozz:
So, just because there is a beta going doesn't mean we'll get it. I've beta tested craploads of things for different devices that never saw the light of day.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] giangdude:
Well, this is coming straight from the CM team so I'll be an optimist and believe them. After all, who knows better than them if CM7 will make its way to our phones?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
i am not a developer but i think some people may be interested in what i found searching around so here we go...

from what i found, it seems that the hardest/most problematic part of porting ICS is making hardware GPU acceleration work (both 2d and 3d). Since ICS uses a "new" component called hwcomposer (which was introduced with HoneyComb) many (if not all) proprietary binary drivers from android 2.x will not work and new ones are required.

i've seen severeal ports get stuck and discontinued because of that (mainly phones with adreno 200 gpu) so it could be a serious issue.

right now it seems that a (very skilled) guy from CM is working on that for the msm8660 platform (adreno 220) so if he succeeds we should be alright, if he doesn't we could still have a chance with sensation's (or some other msm8x60 device) proprietary drivers (since they are almost the same phone).

next up is the camera. i didn't do so much searching on that but from the likes of it, it seems something as problematic as hwcomposer if not more.

so, fingers crossed, porting ICS seems to be quite problematic to say the least

This app it's made for those people that it's bored of loading manually .ko's on their phones, or even bored of having some extra weight on their systems folders.

Basically, this apps can read modules on system, sdcard, or any folder, and load. Also have an option for load on boot.

This app was created and it's working on Xperia X10 mini pro, I'll need feedback from all devices.

@Mini pro users: Now you can easily choose what modules do you want to use, and just ignore what you doesn't!

No compatible with APP2SD!

Screenshots:

[Android Apps and Games] Snoopo:
Can you reproduce following issue? :

- place x8uv.ko, x8oc.ko, x8mddi.ko, mt.ko, ax8_smartass.ko to /sdcard/modules/ (yeah, create folder 'modules' on sdcard)

- start app

- go to settings and disable "load on boot"

- go to "SDcard modules" and choose one or more modules and hit "save selection"

- hit the back button on your ohone

- go to "SDcard modules" again : Are the Modules now disabled?

I guess finding out what causes this may help us also why the modules are not loadded after reboot although "load on boot" is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] D4rKn3sSyS:
That it's not a issue, because if you disable Load on boot, it just temporally insmod modules, so how will it save a list, if you're temporally enabling ? :)

Also reboot thing maybe because app it's stored on SD, please move to /data/app instead. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Snoopo:
That is what I am clear about. But then it's possibly irritating because I expect following behaviour:

If I have "load on boot" (LOB) disabled I expect it's enabled as long my phone is running. ans thus Any time I start the app on the same uptime I see these modules checked. But currently they are only checked once and after restarting the app (on SAME uptime) they seem unchecked. After reboot they are unchecked as expected.

If I have LOB enabled. I expect that the loaded modules keep checked at the same uptime AS WELL AS after reboot. but they only keep checked on same uptime not after reboot.

As I could test: It is possibly a permission problem. I placed the modules I like to load to /system/modules and gave them root:system 0755. Weirdly they do not remain on System Modules (huh?) but I added them by "Another Path" and this works.

Where do you place your modules on sdcard and what permisssions do they have?
[Android Apps and Games] D4rKn3sSyS:
I simply copy them with default permissions, Module Loader chmods to 777 before insmoding
[Android Apps and Games] aZuZu:
This apk is usefull... maybe you should merge your hw_config editor with this and make like module loader + configurator tool thing imagine how usefull would be that?
[Android Apps and Games] D4rKn3sSyS:
This part it's reaally weird, if no preferences are created, then ofc app will be wrong because I store modules path on preferences, it's like if data were RO.

That's all the problem, now, what it's causing the issue..
[Android Apps and Games] Snoopo:
Yeah weird. But this seems to be a f*ing Titanium Backup problem....

I made a celan reinstall of that app by installing it the adb way (adb install ModulesLoader.apk" and this looks better.

BUT:

I/ModuleLoader( 2088): Received Boot Broadcast
I/ModuleLoader( 2088): Loading Service...
I/ModuleLoader( 2088): Removing: ax8_smartass.ko from sharedPrefs, not file found
I/ModuleLoader( 2088): Removing: x8mddi.ko from sharedPrefs, not file found
I/ModuleLoader( 2088): Removing: mt.ko from sharedPrefs, not file found
## NOW sdcard gets mounted ##
# that makes clear why it cant find the module files ^^
I/ModuleLoader( 2292): Loading Service...

Can you make sure sdcard is mounted?

edit: or better: make sure the files are accessible when trying to insmod them, else wait and try again later. seems different on some phones when or how sd-card gets mounted properly :/ (strange) maybe it needs some reboots and filled caches!?
[Android Apps and Games] D4rKn3sSyS:
Your issues are weird, I use modules from SDcard and it's ok!.
[Android Apps and Games] Snoopo:
hmm. do you have only one FAT or some EXT(3/4) partitions, too?
[Android Apps and Games] mardobloom:
Same here modules don't get loaded after a restart....checked using lsmod after a restart...

This is what i've done.....extracted all the modules on the sdcard and loaded all modules except x8oc(works but after a restart, and i've given super access it's still the same).......tried installing the app both in /data/app and /system/app,still doesn't work after a restart....btw i've also checked "Load on boot" under settings of the app.....
[Android Apps and Games] D4rKn3sSyS:
Only Fat.

The only thing that might make this better would be to link it to a library of modules, and a brief description of what they do. Either use a downloadable entire library, or something like Rom Manager, and allow for a download of an individual module.
