Thanks for keeping development on this phone alive! I have the MT3GS and my wife has the vibrant (currently using Nexus Prime 360) and these ROMs are great. I'm grateful that I have a good ROM with wifi fixed, now!

Cool, Downloading now. Thanks so much!!

Updated fast, booted fast & running fast! Wifi is working great, I'm out in my shop with a weak signal & can bounce all over the internet fast. GPS picks up my location from inside the shop. Did a full wipe before install. So far this is great!!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Great! Im sick as hell and going to lay out of school and lay it down....think it's pneumonia?......Illl be back on later. I hope lol

Is the data wipe necessary coming from the latest cm7 nightly?

**UPDATE**

I formatted system as much was removed but I did not need to wipe data. I was coming from another nightly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] onlychevys:
Prob. not, I just did anyways
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
I just wanted to say thanks (personally) for all the work you have put into this ROM. I was getting really bored of the MT3GS because of the lack of development (I came from the original MT3G and that phone had A LOT of ROMs compared to the MT3GS) and I couldn't upgrade because of financial reasons. Your ROM now makes my phone feel new and I am grateful.

Hope you get better soon!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
I used to do Paint and body work/ Mechanic work all my life before I went to Prison. lol. now I cant get a job so I do this and go to school. :eek:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
you can but may encounter problems later on. Follow instructions in OP and from now on Ill do the no wipe method since Ive got it dieled in. (no wipe still means wipe cache and format system. I haven't felt like messing with the scripts but will soon. (enhancements will be in flashables for your convenience.) just be careful that you dont have any apps in your data folder that are in the rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] onlychevys:
Almost went to prison once, but managed not to somehow. Try to walk the straight & narrow now lol. I would love to have your talent tweaking rom's like you do! I'm getting to old to climb up & down off a frame machine. Learning slow but sure. If I lived close to you I would drive ya nuts banging on your door asking questions.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] saruba:
Thank you a freaking lot!!!

THANKS A LOT MAN 4 THIS FREAKING AWESOME WORK!

Dam! this thing is the best work ever seen.

I'm a "sense" lover, but this rom became my daily driver! Its way way faster! ;) :D:D

im using adw L ex , it never lag running @ 825mhz :p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
I make the old lady run @600mhz, I try to tweak it so it seems overclocked @600, dont want to deal with "my phone rebooted today" lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
LOL, same here. I OC'ed her little Cliq xt the other day and she complained about reboots so I dialed it back down to just above stock.

Can your init.d scripts be applied to other CM7 nightlies on other phones? Say the Cliq xt?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Some may but some of my Vibrant scripts wont work on the slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
nickmcminn60,

I see that the 3 custom scripts in init.d that were in XM-8.4 are no longer in XM-8.1.1. Can these be brought over? Do they help us at all? Is there a reason they were omitted?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
I Would

NANDROID

then format system, and wipe cache partition, then flash, If this build wont boot, restore your NANDROID and Ill post The one that does not have GApps included. (you would have to flash GApps if I have to Post test -2 :D

About to give this a try, I've been waiting to try MIUI for a loooong time
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Read OP again This is not MIUI yet but A moddified CM-7 with all the tweaks I use on my Roms.:(

**Input would be greatly appreciated.**
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] katbastard:
downloaded, installed and booted fine, wifi good. will check other things in a bit
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Gapps OK?

:confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] katbastard:
gapps seems good, gps good, but i am having issue with wifi, will connect go green, then when i try to open a internet page, or open market, or open maps goes grey and has not network connection.

does this rom have the cm7 wifi fix already? i have never had the wifi issues others have had in the past.

its weird because if i turn off wifi and open the market and asfter it opens i turn wifi back on it will work, had one reboot after turning on and off the wifi alot
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
Did as you told (\system and \cache wipe but without \data wipe), it all booted, data2ext works. Going to stay on this ROM
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
Downloading!! Looks promising, thanks for sharing man! I'll give my feedback when I flash it...

Edit: Ok everything works really well, it's quite fast but im having the same wifi problem randomly. Other than that its a very good rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
Uh oh! Looks like the wife is gonna be mad tonight! She hates it when I flash new stuff but ends up loving it in the end lol. Thanks bro! Glad to see a beta version already! Keep up the great work and I'll post any feedback I have ;).

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Thanks for the input ill look into it. Can anyone confirm this?

it is based on the latest nightly, so not sure about the wifi fix. If you want to link me ill integrte in the next update ;-)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HD Case:
I'd test
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
My wifi is fine but then again my wifi was always fine and never needed the fix. So far everything is smooth. I will wait till theres more miui integrated, vanilla roms are a little boring to me but nevertheless I wanted to let you know everything works fine so far. You might want to add the wifi fix anyway, my wifi always worked and may not be the same for others. If we could get the widgets from sense 3.5 or a port of sense 3.5 that would be my ideal port right now. But thanx for keeping development alive for the slide I will definitely flash and backup when the miui port is complete.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
This may be slow going because "I" dont have this device (My Wife does) and she has to have a phone when she goes somewhere. If I had this device I could get more done, This will be a CM base for some time. And MIUI is no guarantee, just a project when times allows. But I am Happy to bring you a CM that runs like a 1ghz processor without over clocking, I Tweak my roms to run as efficiently as possible without having to OC.

**If the "wifi" fix is a flashable then it SHOULD be ok to flash on top of XM-7 test 1**
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
I feel that performance boost after some time of using the rom. Tweaks do their job and hey it's already some big work. Thank you very much for such great contribution to myTouch Slide development and what is more important mts users. I'm sure your futher rom development will be the best.

BTW my wifi has always worked on most CM stables and nightlies since v.6 And when I applied the flashable wifi fix from the forum my tethering stopped working giving wifi error with a reboot needed to fix that. So I think it's not worth implementation into the rom, besides whoever wants it may download and flash it by themselves.

The Quadrant Advanced score I got with this ROM, data2ext and 245-825 on demand governor is almost 2000!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
Either way I appreciate your efforts. I notice now that my market crashes a lot but it could be that I installed DTa2sd. But thanx again.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Not sure what this Device even usually gets at that speed? Never messed with her phone, just got bored withe the Vibe and picked it up the other day. I still Dev for it because it is fun and fast, and Ill probably keep it even after I upgrade, along with the MT 3G so Development will continue. You can count on at least one or two (hopefully non-wipe Updates) update every few weeks. I may release a few Updates if problems arise l (like the WiFi fix) If some one will link me to it ill check it out. I can Bearly keep up with this many sites, and Roms, It is a full time job.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Its like i have a brand new phone now :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
INFO!

Ill DR. Up the OP later tonight, Ill include all the tweaks and values and clean it up a little, in the meanwhile you guys can throw out suggestions for system apps. ie. Would you rather have the Gingerbread Keyboard or the new LG 2x keyboard? May even Update Later. May end up having to flash Gapps separately. Im sure Ill know if it is a problem. Just trying to save my girls phone. :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
Good to hear that! I'm looking forward to updates :)

Before it was about 1800 with data2ext and about 1200 without it, so there's some performance gain.

But that wifi fix isn't for everyone. I like some people here has never had significant wifi problems and in my case it did worse. It can be found in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1177650
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Ok now that it is a Flashable it will not be include, that way whoever needs it can use it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
They were not working properly and that was what was causing the phone not to boot. I will make a flashable as soon as I write or find some that are compatible. You really dont need them, reason why?

1. ram boost can now be done within spare parts that I added (Activity/Process Manager

2. loopysmoothness tweak causes phone not to boot or random reboot

3 77sd card supercharger was not working to up the read ahead cache

4 s_volt script can be generated by any CPU control app. When you save as boot settings on your CPU control app, thats where it goes (init.d folder)-

should run even smother without those tweaks, because they were actually slowing the phone down (if it even booted).....going to try and work on a script today to get your read ahead cache up. ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] saruba:
Lol! I Feel you. @806 never reboot, our CPU it's made to run at 800, right?

Finally I get to post about how awesome your work is! Been a member here for a while and kinda never really felt motivated to join in threads til now...lol I've had my Espresso for a little over a month now and I'm shocked at how little development there is with it considering the activity on other older phones...BUT where ROMS lack in quantity, here you make up for in QUALITY! It's been my daily ROM since I first flashed XM-8.4. Just wanted to say thanks and I'm looking forward to where you take this now, since you have the beast in hand! :D

Hey Nick,

I noticed you changed the JPEG quailty to 90 on v 1.1 which made thumbnail JPEG worse.

I think 100 is better unless you planned to changed it to something higher and in error it was over looked?

Btw I like the new theme :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
I chose 90 in order to see if tje gallery will load faster. Which it does.you can change it back to 100 but no more. Gn everyone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
I did notice today that the gallery does load faster.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crazysohc:
ahh smart man :)

see i wouldn't have noticed that it loaded faster if you didnt point it out,

do you have a team for this rom?

or is it just you? if so it makes it harder for you to test your roms because its your wifes phone...

point is if you ever need any help to see if the test roms boot or if you need someone to test out anything on the roms, im available but due to work im not available 27/7 :/

if you need an extra hand just shoot me a PM
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
I have a team "360 Productions" and several that work for me.....about 8 people but this Rom is a solo, just me and I only get the phone once a week, if I am lucky. So yes I could use another tester. I also maintain 5 other roms (ALL MIUI). So each of those Roms have to be rebuilt EVERY week. MIUI Updates every Friday. When I do get the device from her it damn well better be functional and running, home screens and all. lol!

The 3d Gallery is slow as hell anyway, Ill try to get the MIUI Gallery working , also my read ahead cache script no longer works for you guy's and not sure why, like I said this will be slow going but at least it is some support.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
You guys use the 3D gallery?

That thing is GARBAGE-SLOW!

Use "QuickPic" , its nice and it loads images in less than 1 second.

:)

Oh, and nick, I've been following your work/updates.. good job!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
3D gallery is just what comes in CM but may try quickpic if miui gallery gives me problems, there is a lot connected to miui gallery, unlike the 3d one

PS. And it is only slightly garbage slow on XM lol 3d gallery uses a lot of resources to make it 3d. (2d in my opinion lol)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Hey nick I've been experimenting w/ the build prop and I found that setting the max events windowmgr to 300 reduces lag on adw launcher and other applications involving scrolling. The phone seems to be much faster when its set to 300. You may want to try this yourself and consider putting it in your next xm release.

I have tried everything to make GPS work on this build. it was great in 8.4. I might go back to that. I just downloaded the latest nightly and I locked quickly. So I am not sure where the problem lies.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
I've also tried every GPS fix out there and no luck. GPS locks in maps but its way off location. Then navigation never gets a lock on location. I too agree that the previous build had a way better GPS..

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
GPS fix works out well, I set custom settings to ua.pool.ntp.org (because my country is missing off the options list but Europe also works) and it takes about 10 seconds to lock after reboot.

But I've noticed several issues I think it might be something with the new tweaks: Need For Speed Shift that has always run with no single lag for more than a year on this phone on both CM6.x.x and 7.x, even on 600Mhz is now giving thу following error:

New version of Dead Space (1.0.37) isn't downloading it's files to my phone. Although it works with others and on v.1.0.31 with me.

What can be incompatible now, especially in Shift's case?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
I don't think you read my post correctly.. I never had a problem with GPS "locking" .. the recent build locks but is not nearly as accurate as old build. And navigation doesn't get a lock. But thanx for your input.

On further review, the nightlies are giving me problems again so it's probably a CM7 problem. Frustrating.

Yes but do system and cache wipe first.

ok..thanks. Im having problems connecting my usb to my phone, itt keeps rebooting when I hit connect. Anyone else having this issue?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Nope, no problems with USB, just reboots on WIFI toggle and long GPS lock times.

But these are problems with CM not the tweaks in this rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
I'm not having those problems neither in XM nor in CM, even on .35 kernel. But I have some heap issues in games since recently.

I had that problem before but it was corrected when I did a full wipe and reinstalled
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crazysohc:
For those who have GPS problems on this rom.

Try changing the settings from angry GPS, from standalone to MSbased (for a faster lock) or MSassisted (for speed and accuracy )

I tested these two along with the faster fix set to north-America

I got a lock with in 5 secs. In 3 tests, and accuracy of 17.0 meters

Others please test and confirm if this works for you

Did you try just one or both?

Did you do a reboot? (Not necessary but it helps)

Download "GPS status" if you don't have it already, access it, exit then try the same thing.

If it doest help then it was aleast worth a shot :)

How weird...

Do you know the phones build date?

I don't know if these phones had different hardware according to build date, seems that some have GPS issue and others have wifi issuse, odd cases I've seen people have both... and the lucky few don't have any of those issues.

Kinda weird isn't it?
