XM-7 Test #1

OP Updated!

This will remain CM Based Until I Become More Familiar With This Device,

XM-7: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=04D6UCZ0

**Advanced users only in case it does not boot**
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
This is a miracle! Downloading...Do I have to wipe or just flash on top of a nightly?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
I completely understand. I forgot I did wipe the dalvik cache. I always do that. But that's all I did.

I have lots of backups so I know that if I mess up, I can start again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
GPS isn't locking as quickly and accurately as previous builds, am I missing something?

Overall very stable and snappy. The best CM mod I've used to date. Nice job.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] WhoWhere:
Everything is running great on my end. Flashed last night. Thank you!

I've had this problem with cm builds off and on for some time now. However there is a fix. You may want to head over to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1284113 there is a few gps.conf files you can push to your system/etc based on your area that can solve the problem or you can find the servers that work best for you and make your own. Hope this helps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
Thanx ill check that out

You're welcome. Sorry, I was in a hurry when posting that and had to use my phone. In specific what I was trying to point you to This tread. All Credit to thread OP "AngelDeath" of course. There's a link map in the tread to find the file that's right for you and a link that reads: XDA Members Click Here - Go there and find the file for your correct location. All I did was pull the gps.conf file from the zip file and push it to system/etc on the root of my phone. At this moment I'm able to get an accurate GPS lock from inside my home without any delay. :-)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
Actually the link that's titled "xda members click here" is not available but you did point me in the right direction. Down that thread was the files for Florida and I used terminal emulator to delete the old GPS.conf and push the Florida GPS.conf rebooted and boom! Encouragement my friend. I get an instant lock and now I'm accurate to ten meters, as opposed to the 2 minute lock and accurate to 1200 meters results. Thanx a lot brochacho.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] WhoWhere:
You're welcome. Glad I could help. Interesting that it's not letting you connect to the FTP server for XDA members. I'm able to get on right now. I wonder if it's the web browser you're using. Either way the FL only file is most likely the best for you any way. If you do end up traveling to near states I wonder if the SouthEast file would be a good one. download here if needed (of course credit goes to: AngelDeath - op from the original thread)

I think I just Bricked my Girlfriends phone............sorry for the delay. Im A dead man walking. :-(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
Oh no! That's horrible.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] onlychevys:
Sorry to hear the bad news, sure hope you can bring it back & its not bricked!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Not Permanently Bricked, Now Recovered and testing now!

That's why I need this device (so my old lady don't kick my a$$ Testing on hers lol)

If anyone has this device and has upgraded PM me if you want to sell, or Donation link is above my Avatar) Not begging by no means but continued support for this device would be easier if I personally had my own. I dont care if it is busted up as long as it works. Found one for $110 but Im a full time student and don,t get Many Donations. When my Vibrant got ran over My followers pulled together and got me enough $ to get a replacement. :eek: Wish me luck on test 2 :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] WhoWhere:
Oh no! Hopefully it's just an oversight and you can get it back running. Best of luck to you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
FAIL! #3 but Im not giving up on you guys, hang in there sorry for the delay.

Anything changed in the ltest nightly that Im missing? partition size maybe?

Ran into one problem but easy enough to fix... My google account some how got unlinked and i couldn't add it for some reason. After flashing the latest gapps again everything it running smooth again. :)

Data2ext mod doesn't work anymore, I've even tried a clean install and still no effect.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
Everything is working here so far, had to reflash gapps as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
Yes it does work! Try flashing data2ext after the rom and gapps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Nevermind I had the old xm8.4 that wouldn't boot, it works now that I downloaded the fixed one
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HD Case:

Chinese guys talk about porting MIUI to the Slide, it's all in Chinese I used my Chrome built in translator. http://bbs.gfan.com/android-2916908-1-1.html
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Anytime I do a "No-Wipe" install you will still have to flash Gapps. because the system was "overwritten". I was just doing It this was so you guys would have a hell of a lot of restoring to do, all your apps still in place (except Gapps of course). If I can get more time with this device I can get MIUI on it, Especially if MIUI.china picks it up. Then that means there will be a MIUI.us version pre-translated in English and Ill build you Clone Roms of "ReVaMpEd SS" and "LIthium" each week. (Those are my Vibrant Roms http://forums.miui.us/forumdisplay.php?58-Samsung-Vibrant )I just can't risk my girls phone to try and do so. She was not happy at several point yesterday (and that probably didn't help me trying to concentrate).

Do you guy's notice a more "Fluid" feeling, like in the notification bar and General Settings Scrolling? That was the First thing she noticed and she is Android illiterate lol!

Enjoy and we will do it again every Saturday. I'f I get more time with it this week Ill start to at least, start bringing some MIUI apps over, no guarantee but that is my plans.

**Also you may have noticed that after a few reboots and letting it settle in (after first hours use) that any Laggynes goes away, even @600mhz (I dont Overclock my own phone anymore, I try to make the Device run the best it can @ stock speeds making the user feel like it is already Overclocked). I'm used to a 1Ghz Processor and I remember thinking while playing with it on stock roms "What a Piece" So I decided to see if I could get this thing running better, thanks to CM Developers, 2.3 Firmware and Myself, You guys have a phone that is on par with the 1Ghz family of phones (In my Opinion)***

BTW this was built from the 10/14/11 nightly not the 10/15/11 Ill fix that in the OP now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] saruba:
"MTG3GSlide" Theres many on craglist really cheap i found them only for 80 bucks fully working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Yeah I found one for $100 mint condition, but If I use my own money it will be put towards Hercules. I do this and go to school so I don't really have any "Taxable" income. So when my Winter School money gets here Im going to upgrade and so will the wife (she is also in school) so that should bring a couple of new devices to 360 Productions and MIUI.us.(still keeping the slide and the Vibrant)

**If anyone Knowledgeable with the slide wants to join 360 productions on the slide end PM me. It would be mostly Grunt work. answering questions, and helping support this thread during the week.**
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingu:
Wow, just flashed this over my CM7, and amazed. Battery drain for my normal usage is minimal (could just be the system getting used to it, we'll see in a few days.) My phone's heavily skinned as it is, so in overall looks, no difference, but I can feel the difference in just about every app I run, and for the first time, am seriously contemplating setting aside Set CPU and just running it at the normal 600mhz.

Great work!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
So what exactly is this ROM? Is this just a visual skin overlayed the cm7 code?

If any fixes are being made to optimize cm7 for the slide it would be nice to have those considered for nightlies as I don't think anyone is developing for slide specific issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
in my experience, the biggest plus is this rom is faster than vanilla cm7. like... buttery smooth.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Nice, I am DLing and going to flash soon.

Can the OP comment on what size of system partition and cache partition are needed for this ROM? I have custom MTD partitions set at 140/60/265 at the moment.(on CM7 current nightly).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
It's all in the first post. This is faster than CM7, it's optimized.

Installed xm 8.4 over latest cm nightly. Used existing MTD custom partitions without issue. 140 is fine for the system and 60 for the cache.

This does seem much better than any nightly I can remember and some of the included apps are really cool. I'm in love with my slide again. Think I'll but a ribbon cable off ebay and get the keyboard working again!

So can this rom be described as optimized CM7 with extra cool apps and config tweeks?

Much appreciated!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Same as the nightly listed in op that it was built off of Stock cm partitions

Would you guys be interested something like my newest Rom or keep the LG? (But Based on CM not MIUI)

No it was not compiled from source I use the latest nightly every Saturday tweak it how I see fit add Widgets from the LG 2x, Push a custom build prop, add tweaks and "hopefully" better GPS than stock CM.

been kinda quiet over here, what gives, tried to offer you guys the iphone rom and got no responses. If Im making this for just 3 people I will move on.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
I don't really like iphone but I appreciate your work. XM is probably the best solution for Slide untill ICS source is published and CM9 nightlies arrive.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
If its said that your hardware cant run MIUI, think it will run ICS? digging through the ICS system dump now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
Some Google engineer said that ICS will theoretically run on any Gingerbread device. That's the same thing they were saying comparing to Froyo almost a year ago when GB was out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
I don't like the iPhone either. I think that's the lack of enthusiasm you found for that particular rom. I love the work that's been done on the LG. I could do with less gps apps since the fix in the other thread works really well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Then Uninstall them with Titanium They are there for the people having problems locking. If people report it not locking very good then I include angry GPS, and I included faster fix for people that dont live in US to make it easier to change their GPSconfig file to better match their location.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] G1Master:
I've been around the forums for a while now and I don't really say much. Especially during the G1 days when there were so many roms, I was goin rom flashin crazy.

Now that I've had this phone for a while now and I've never been so impressed with the way its been running with your XM rom.

I would like greatly say Thank You for keepin this phone alive even though its not meant for you to begin with.

Thanks, G1Master

I tried updating Google Maps and I got an error:

"Error downloading "Google Maps". There is insuffiecient space on the device."

I uninstalled the app and got the same error when trying to reinstall it. I reflashed xm and google apps from August and am still getting this error. I had this same thing happen back on another cm7 nightly but I corrected it by flashing a NEW nightly which is not possible with this rom.

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone have any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
I am not interested in an iphone rom. I love the rom you have made except for the problems I get with reboots when enabling and disabling my wifi and my wifi just randomly disconnecting and reconnecting from any wifi router and yes I have tried the wifi fix and that does noting for me. I know that is an issue with CM7 and not your rom so aside from that your ROM is the best I have used on my phone to date!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingu:
Thanks for the offer of an iPhone like customization, but really don't need my phone to look or act like an iPhone. I checked the forums for pretty much the last time, as the latest nightly made things ten times worse for my phone, and I was dropping by to pick up a stock rom to re-flash the device with before putting it up for sale on Craig's List.

Just figured, what the heck, try out this new rom, since I hadn't been flashing much of anything recently, and it was like night and day.

Today, I went home with 70% battery life - best prior, with normal use, was 50%, and that was using SetCPU. I've since disabled SetCPU as it's not needed - the phone's fast and responsive for just about anything I want to do, and the GPS is nice, fast and solid. No reboots, everything's been pretty much perfect, really.

This is really the best rom I've seen for this phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
You are using custom partitions right? I wouldn't know anything about that. I flashed the gapps from June, sometimes the recent ones give me problems. The market updates quickly so it's not really an issue. I just updated Maps without a problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Yeah, I just got s wifi reboot last night too. Thought that maybe there was a fix in this rom for this issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
I still have issues with wi-fi too. Without the fix, the wi-fi is terrible (always has been. Not your ROMs fault). With the fix, it is much better but there is still a problem. The problem is that it is keep on saying "Obtaining IP Address" and then it will stop obtaining and just disconnect. Then it will say my access point is out of reach and I have to forget my access point in order for me to connect to it again.

Always happens during the time when I was doing heavy stuff on the internet....:mad:

May do you guys an Ice Cream Sandwich Clone if I get Time!

​

:confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
Yeah ill test. I am on the rom now. Love the new bootscreen. First boot was fast as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Check your keyboard. ringtones lwp's and wifi, also make sure you dont get any force closes on the new apps.

please

nickmcminn60
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
Going through the ringtones and they are showing in (what I guess is) chinese characters and while playing some it locked up the phone and I had to pull the battery. I am testing everything else now.

Edit:

I am seeing spare parts 2 times.

I am not sure what new apps there are. I installed the current gapps as well when I flashed the rom and not sure if that was needed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Shouldnt be in chinese, maybe it needs to settle a little and a good reboot

Make sure your not overclocking

Test Wifi if you can may have fixed the problems there.

Did you full wipe or just the no wipe install?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
I don't even know how to overclock this phone so that's not a problem lol. Some of the ringtone names I can read no problem and some I can read parts of them then others I need to learn a new language for. Ill play around for a little bit see what happens.

I formatted data, system, cache then installed. Also got a reboot just now (I have 2 of these things one for testing) while looking through the ringtones.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Its ok its just test #1 look at your widgets and confirm the keyboard works. I put in a better spare parts that has more options and forgot to take out the old one, figured it would overwrite the old one, must be named slightly different.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
none are in another language not sure why your getting language problems.

working on test #2 now.....how is wifi? and yes you should probably boot the rom then go back and flash gapps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
Had 2 random reboots so far. Wifi seems to be working okay but ill keep testing that. No widgets force closed on me yet. Ill reflash the rom then boot then flash gapps and see what happens. I just flashed them both at the same time before
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Just wait on test #2 it will be up in a few minutes
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
Okay ill wait for that. Anyway you can put the rooster sound back in for the alarm clock sounds? Its what I use to wake me up. Nothing else is annoying enough to work lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickmcminn60:
will do it in test2

You meant some of the sounds the singer speaks another language? Im going through them now and taking out any that speak in non english
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
The characters on the screen are chinese not the actual sounds.
