The shortcuts are definitely working. They don't show up on initial boot because the lockscreen hasn't been configured yet. Go into personalize > lockscreen > and find the one you want (I chose the weather lockscreen and it's awesome) and then hit settings to set the individual shortcuts. Everything is working just fine!

Also wanted to add that as of the now genius button doesn't do anything since genius isn't loaded, so I remapped it to SEARCH. Here are the steps to remap the genius button to search (thanks to nyolsson for the info):

Steps to take:

1. Using Root Explorer, go to /system/usr/keylayout

2. Make sure Root Explorer is mounted as R/W.

(top right button should display Mount R/O, bc you are currently in R/W mode)

3. Long press 'doubleshot-keypad.kl'

4. Select 'Open in Text Editor'

5. Line 5 shows 'key 188' with FUNC_4 next to it. Replace FUNC_4 with 'SEARCH' - all caps.

This re-maps the Genius button on the front of the phone.

6. Scroll down a little and you will see # column 3. 'Key 184' needs to be changed from FUNC_4 to "SEARCH" as well.

This re-maps the Genius button on the qwerty keyboard. (now you can actually use quick launch)

7. Hit the hard menu key and select Save Changes or Save and Exit.

8. Root Explorer will automatically create a backup of the original file you edited with the original file name ending with the extension .bak

(doubleshot-keypad.kl.bak)

9. Need to restart before it takes effect.

Assumption be the mother of all fk ups.

I have 4 anker 1900 batteries!

Of course I have done battery collab.

I've been around since Dream days... I've asked all you devs regarding MTD partition, nobody has responded like they know nothing about it?

My statement on battery was placed for referrel to anybody considering. I'm stating utter fact that undeads sense on crack has superier battery power.

I will try to debloat this and retry maybe - I know for sure apps like GSD.apk are resource/battery munchers (which is just one of many HTC apps that chomp battery.) For now Undead all day everyday.

Done!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
Does anyone know if you can set permissions with ES File Explorer?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
It looks like you can long press on an application and scroll down to Properties and then there is the option to change permissions. Make sure Root Explorer is checked in settings so you can see your system apps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
First off, why don't you just explain what MTD partition is and how it works so they can know and figure out if it will work? It's not really fair to ask if something you use will work if they've never heard of it.

I guess I'm just more concerned with the user experience and feature than battery life alone. I love undead's ROMs and I love this ROM. They're very different and have unique features - it all depends on what you're looking for. I have an anker 1900 battery and it lasts well over 15 hours with moderate use so I couldn't be happier - I know I'm going to charge it every night anyway so it doesn't really matter to me!

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

I just use root explorer. I'm not sure about es explorer, but with root explorer you just long press on the file and go to set permissions. You have to make sure you set the folder the file is in to r/w first so that it'll let you set permissions. Maybe es explorer has the same feature, I don't know cause I uninstalled it...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cjward23:
I've just Googled MTD and I can't see what the advantage of it would be on this device.

For those who don't know it changes the system, data and cache partition sizes. On older devices this might of been necessary to enable them to run newer roms. But on the mt4gs your default partition sizes should be ample to run any current custom roms.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
I agree that Firerat's custom MTD was useful for the G1 but I don't see why we would need to do that now even if we could.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Somewhat true.

But knowing it can be done - will defo be a nice to have to tighten our NAND (internal motherboard memory) to be tightend to allow for the data partition to be that much bigger - which is a bonus on all level.

This is very low level program - hence tough. If applied it will only make our devices better.

Firer4t was one of the legendary devs for Dream.

MTD would defo be a nice to have
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Yes, :-) following his directions always made for a better user experience. It was always an enjoyable and leaning expericence to read his comments/threads and I ran his Magpie ROM based off CM6 until the day my G1 retired. *tips hat to firerat*

....now back to the MT4GS where where we have the Virtuous Team, Undeadk9, RomanBB, computerkid23, Blue6Ix, Unclespoon and all the other contributors to take us to new peaks!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I like my system to be optimized to the fullest - I have FR building custom MTD recovery/boot/remove zips for my device - so I should be good to go shortly.

I still have Ezgingerbread Magpie (ezterry & fr) - on my G1 - and without a lie it is just as fast to perform tasks on that then on any other droid - those guys are still dev'ing for G1/Dream - it's amazing!

Surprising how very little people know of the likes of MTD/FR across the mt4g slide forums - I guess heritage users are more aware of our systems ins and outs. Nice to know there's someone else out there dude ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
I know what the MTD is and which usage it has. But I think you will not find any dev on the doubleshot device which is going to play with it. Because at the moment it's completly useless. Maybe you can make your data partition bigger but maybe you will need a bigger system in a few months when a new rom is coming. And then you must revert everthing.

And the risk in bricking the device is there. So in my case and I think for all other devs here this is a useless discussion.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I have FR builidng them for me now.

And not true, its very simple to resize the system partition according to a new roms requirements - but this can only be understood if you'd known/used it.

Again I am going to use this to fully optimize my internal NAND - this is just being ultra efficient. That's all its being. Yes I'm pedantic.

PM me if anyone wants it, for now I will stop bloating your thread.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I'm with TEAM unity on this. IF you had the HTC dream or Droid Eris Then MTD Partitioning would be useful. However this device doesnt need it at all. It would be pointless. This phone can run ANY rom available without needing to repartition. So ya no dev including my self won't waste time messing with it sense its totally unneeded.

plug it into a TV and see what happens, i'm going to spend this weekend fixing my phone so I can flash this ROM and figure out the solution to this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Tvout is built into the framework. It's going to take more then a simple cut and paste OF the tvout.apk. If you want tvout you need to be on a rom that supports it. This is not one of them.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
For all of you asking for Sense 3.5, be patient and check Virtuous' website for their thoughts about it.

could u make a boot option (like options to boot into recovery) for this rom as well as some sound enhancer tweaks??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
It already has the option to reboot into recovery. When you hold down power and hit reboot it brings up a second screen.

What kind of "sound enhancer tweaks" are you looking for?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mr.e.ferran:
First-thank you to everybody for all the awesome work!

Second- I was having battery drain issues but once i re-calibrated and froze google maps i seem to be having waaaay better battery life.

Third-The only non-reported issue that I'm having is that last night I received a call and couldn't answer it because the screen froze. (no password or pattern, just the regular sense screen lock) I had to do a battery pull and i haven't had the issue since then.

Until htc releases a handset that runs sense 3 (not mytouch sense) it will not be possible.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] vibey101:
There was a mod for it a few pages back. It makes the sense 3.0 launcher have scrollable app drawer instead of page by page
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
that's cool but i was making reference to whatever you call the bottom section of the phone which now with Unity has the icon for the app drawer the phone and personalize.

Shortcut dock....that's what im talking about...is there away to modify it or make it scrollable?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
There are ways to reprogram the "personalize" button to have it do whatever you want, but that's the stock sense 3.0 rosie which can't be changed unless you use a new launcher i.e. adw, launcher pro, go launcher, or the sort...

Camera issues

I really like this ROM and want to keep it, however I'm having one major problem: The camera app either crashes back to homescreen or the few times it does open, the regular camera (8MP one) shows nothing but a gray screen.

When I switch to the FFC, things are fine, switch back to the main cam, grey again.

I've tried a few things (clear cache, dalvik, fix permissions, etc). But no joy :(

I was almost worried my camera was fried but when I flashed back to stock, it works like a champ. Any ideas anyone? I would really like to get this to work.

The camera patch didn't seem to make any difference, from what I've read it seems to address a different problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I think i can fix this issue. When i get home i WILL make a flashable zip.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
http://www.4shared.com/file/9_IRHee8/Virtuous_Camera_Fix_undeadk9.html TRY THIS FLASHABLE ZIP TO SEE IF IT FIXES THE CAMERA ISSUE.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dadewy:
I did a full wipe, installed Unity 2.39.0, then flashed the 2.39.1 patch, then your camera_fix zip.

The camera is still doing the exact same thing I'm afraid :(

For grins I installed another camera app from market, it does the same thing too.

What I don't understand is how come I'm having this problem and no one else is reporting it?? I'm not installing any other apps or mods... so what makes my setup unique??

Anyway thanks very much for trying undeadk9, it is much appreciated.

Any other suggestions gratefully accepted. Otherwise I guess I'll be going back to stock as I really need my camera working.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Are you formatting system? That's all I can think of. My camera works fine. As far as I know everyone else's cameras work fine since no one seems to be saying anything. Not sure what else you could try wiping before re-installing...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dadewy:
Yeah I just tried it again, to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything:

Boot in to recovery, format system and cache, clear dalvik.

Flash from zip the unity 2.39.0 doubleshot beta

Booted it up to check camera. No good.

Boot in to recovery, clear cache and dalvik, flash 2.39.1 update from zip

Booted it up to check camera. No good.

Boot in to recovery, clear cache and dalvik, flashed undeadk9's fix from zip

Booted it up to check camera. No good.

I'm seriously at my wits end as to what could be causing this :confused::confused::confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
You forgot wiping data. :P should solve your issue :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
I really hope he hasn't been forgetting to wipe data this whole time!!! :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GoodKingNerdnor:
Has no one considered the possibility that the physical camera sensor or other hardware parts supporting the transfer of camera data on his phone might be faulty or damaged? I've had zero camera issues, and I can't imagine this wouldn't have been reported by anyone else if it were a problem with the ROM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
ya but he said it works on stock
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dadewy:
At this point I'd be more than happy to take some heat over a noob mistake if I could just get things to work :D

Unfortunately no, I didn't forget to wipe data, I just forgot to mention it in my post.

The only other thing I can think of (and it's silly really), is this is a khaki mt4gs. Surely there's no difference other than a different color backplate??

Anyway thanks for the help guys, it's appreciated. This is probably the weirdest issue I have run in to in a while.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jenesuispasbavard:
I'm afraid I have a khaki MT4GS too, but my camera application works almost as well as stock. Panorama mode doesn't work; it'll tell you to rotate the camera, but when you do it stays at the last frame and never makes the panoramic picture.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yeah I have the same problem with the panorama - it'll do 3-4 shots as it pans and then I just get the loading bar. That's weird since all the camera files are stock. Maybe that's something they can look into once they get the device, which should be any day now since they said they bought it and it's on its way.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
It's probably not that complicated, merely a matter of reconfiguring hardware buttons.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

That's probably a battery calibration issue. Charge your battery to 100% and go into recovery > advanced > wipe battery stats. Then use your phone until battery is as dead as you can get it and charge it back up again. That should reset the battery stats. Mine will change a couple percent each time I restart but 20% is a pretty big jump.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
Can you explain me a little bit this feature as I don't know how it worked on stock rom?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
If the phone is in Hibernation, pressing the camera button will wake the phone, unlock it and take you directly to camera app ready to take a picture. It's a pretty nice feature.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
Thanks. Sounds really nice. I will put it on my list for things to check. I'll hope it will be possible to bring this feature back.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Basically, the camera app could bypass the lockscreen by pressing the camera buton, it's a faster way to take pics :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
Also a great way to get a bunch of pictures of your pocket, and a dead phone ;) Personally I like not having the camera button unlock the phone. But I use WidgetLocker, so none of this really applies to me... Cause widgetlocker disables this anyways.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
If I'm able to bring this feature back I will try to make this configurable. But more I can say when I checked it.

Chris do you think the MT4GS will be included with the UNITY Sense 3.5 updates you spoke about on your website?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] slayerXcore:
you have to press camera twice to open to camera. first wakes to lockscreen second opens camera and bypasses lockscreen. also the way the mt4gs camera button is designed that has never happened to me. Edit: i mean i have never had a dead battery from the phone waking to camera.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
With the next release of Unity the myTouch 4g Slide will be included in the normal update. So you will get all features for the doubleshot too I'm working currently on.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
One long press will wake, unlock, and go directy to camera on my phone and it happens pretty fast. I've never had pictures of my pocket or a dead batter because of this feature either though.

Undeadk9 is right. It will be maybe possible with tricks but you always have problems with some settings. So better make a backup of the important apps and the rest is doing it by hand :(

I have to say thanks to you Undeadk9. Nice to see that other devs are trying in the myTouch 4G Slide forum to help each other. Even if it isn't their own thread.

Guys, I confirm that checking the "Stock SMS Uninstalled" option in GO SMS Fixes the MMS Resolution issue for the most part. No need to actually uninstall or alter the mms.apk. The only think I'm missing here is the CTR Animations. Otherwise, everything is working fine. :D

EDIT: You will receive duplicate messages if you don't remove the mms apk.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
I think you can just turn off "automatically retrieve messages" on the stock messaging app to get rid of the duplicate messages, but deleting the app works too :-)

Kernel Source Code

FYI

I filled out a customer service survey from HTC and gave them all bad ratings in regards to their non-response for the kernel source code. A representative just personally called me and is trying to get an eta on the release if not email me a copy of the code. I would suggest everyone completes a survey with negative comments at the following location:http://survey.htc.com/worldwide. I know surveys like this affects their metrics and gets managements attention. The guy on the phone also said that Android is released under the Apache license agreement.
