I have only had 3 reboots i think since I flashed Unity v2 kernel....I am really disappointed though on battery drain...much worse than VU on the MT4g....with 0 use i dropped almost 20% in 4 hours....shrug...even with using the OC/UV beater...using 192-534 powersave on screen off and on demand 384-1026

8hrs i am at 34% Voice calls at 28% and display only 28%...only 36m 18s and 21m 9s calls...this is crappy....I am afraid might have to abandon VU for now and go with something little better on battery....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
Did you try the v1 kernel? If so, how was battery life? I'm on it currently and it seems okay but it's only been a few hours.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
V2 is not good for me. V1a rocks. No reboots. Just butter!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
Same here, no problems at all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
Have u done any extended driving with Google Maps using V1a?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
No sorry, but do have bluetooth running while driving without issue.

Will test the combo of bt with googlenav and report back tomorrow

Is there any way to change lockscreen buttons?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dmarco:
Just checked and my current phone/battery temperature is 103.5°f with this Rom and using the V1 kernel. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Is your phone charging? There are a lot of factors (i.e. ambient temperature, phone activity) to be considered when deciding whether or not you have a problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dmarco:
No, it just reaches those temperatures with excessive usage. Then cools back down. :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
Yes go in to personalize...then lock screen then settings and click each one you want to change and select the one you want.

I was also say Unity 1a kernel runs much better battery wise than v2...ran today...crazy and drain still in the 30% rang with screen at like 73% of use...lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dirtyreturn:
To the virtuous team - a request- I guess because this rom is based off of sensation this feature is not included, the stock rom when sliding open the phone the homescreens would rotate to landscape mode. I found this to be a beautiful feature, your roms also. Could you take into consideration adding an optional flashable zip for homescreen rotation?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cjward23:
Sadly this is not something that we can not add. This version of sense 3 unlike the my touch, version does not have support for landscape homescreen.

United htc release a phone that uses sense 3 and has support for landscape it will not be possible to add this to our rom.

Being a desire z user this a feature I miss to :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Baba1472:
hey cj, any word on the sense 3.5 port?

also, i really liked virtuous but I reverted back to stock mainly because of the messaging app issues. these are issuues that i have seen since sense on the g1 which include the app scrolling up to the top of the message thread while typing with the keyboard, the messaging icon showing the wrong number of unread texts sometimes, and most importantly, the sometimes when receiving a message, i would see it kn the notification tray but it does not show up in the messages. on older phones it appeared to be that if there is not enough ram available when you receive the message, it will not be saved (which makes sense) but i figured by now there would be a fix. i havent seen any1 else talking about this so is this just something everyone just is used to now?

also, i noticed that on virtuous i do not have as much internal storage available as on stock. i ony find this odd because the rom file is smaller than the rom file for stock (which i saw when looking at the size of the rooted stock rom on xda). any insight on this?

thanks a lot, besiides those things i did not have maany issues with the rom but i text mostly and those messaging issues are too intrusive.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dirtyreturn:
Thanks for your response, it's a feature that will be missed, though it's better to have a rom like this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dirtyreturn:
I am experiencing random reboots where the phone would reinstall preselected apps, is this normal?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Techlvr:
NO, I would consider that a undesirable feature. LOL
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dirtyreturn:
Do you know what would cause this? Any way to fix the problem?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Techlvr:
Did you flash the v2 kernel?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dmarco:
At what point should I start worrying? My phone has been on lock screen mode and in my pocket, when I noticed the heat, pulled my phone out checked my battery/phone temperature.... 116.9°f. So my question is, why is this happening when my phone is on lock screen mode and at what point should I be worried?? Thanks for any advise.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dirtyreturn:
Yes, flashed v.2 is there an issue with it? I guess since you asked. Another option? Have link on hand?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Techlvr:
Yes there is a problem with that kernel. You could re flash and use the stock kernel or try flashing the v1a kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dirtyreturn:
There's a search button for a reason.

Thanks, there a thread for the stock or v1a kernel?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
Wish list:

1. Camera hardware button unlocks phone and opens camera app.

2. Visual Voice mail added to dialer.

3. Fix panoramic and photo editing bug.

4. Stable kernel, I have had random reboots on both V1 and V2.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
Do you have a link to the v1a kernel? I can only find the v1 kernel from their site.

EDIT: After browsing a few pages back, I found a link to the v1a kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I don't think this rom will be updated anymore. They started there new sense 3.5 project.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
Yeah I don't think we have heard from Chris in ages...latest posts have come from another on the VU team.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Techlvr:
Yep looks like this one is done. Stick a fork in it. To bad it showed promise. I liked it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
This ROM is great as is honestly....I was using it on my MT4G before getting the replacement Slide...and it was great...the kernel needs work...battery life and smoothness of vu 2.39 was fabulous this kernel not so good yet....wish we had more devs by now....oh well...

Guys...

Please visit

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jenesuispasbavard:
Isn't that a MT4GS-like ROM for the MT4G/G2? It's not for the MT4GS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yes that is a doubleshot port to other devices... It does us no good.

On a side note - Chrisch1974 - when are we going to see trentacinque on the MT4GS???
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
+1 to that
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I believe there going to support doubleshot with there sense 3.5 rom. Just give it time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
OK this ROM is a big beefy Sense ROM...there is still more than enough room to add whatever apps you need so to complain about the ROM size is not a big deal...messaging issue...I can't speak on I use Handcent and have 0 issues other than an occasional FC.....

I issue I do have with this is the horrible battery life...I tried v2 and had horrible life...wiping battery stats and such and still awful so I went back to v1a and today has been awful....either the battery is not charging fully or something...attached will show the voice calls i made which was 10 min or less used more than my screen which for a sense ROM is an impossibility...or should be....I am going to try and put the OEM stock kernel back on the phone and go from there

18m screen on and 11 min voice calls...figure that one....very light use....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
You are using apps for battery percentages. Those use alot of battery life.. I dunno what else that was on your task bar but it all looked like crap wasting battery
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
That is all stock items...the battery app is not a drainer or it would pop up...i have had handcent show up when i text a lot...on a sense ROM display on should account for 50+% it should always be the heaviest item...not sure what the deal is...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Post Deleted...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
Yeah I am going to try the stock (htc stock) kernel and see how it does today....no over/under clocking but I am thinking battery life will be better....I really wish this came with sense 3 and not mysense....i love the lock screen with the icons which I think is the biggest difference from the two...i forget what else was different...is it possible to get the actual 3.0 lockscreen to work on mysense?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Nope. Ive tried.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
Sorry guys that I wasn't here in the last days. But I am/was really busy. Real work, house work, daughter and dog is keeping me from doing some stuff. And the little bit time I had was invested in the 3.5 rom.

But the good thing...my wife comes back on weekend...and the doubleshot device too :D

So I can start to port the rom for you too...and for the question about Unity. We will support the rom in the future too. There are a lot of people which still wants to use it. And I hope we can fix the few bugs on the doubleshot as soon as possible.

And I will make some test with mdj together on the kernel to make it more stable for you.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Great to hear, Chris! I can't wait to try Sense 3.5 on the doubleshot!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
Me neither I love vu...kernel having issues...but can't wait to get sense 3.5 to try....any beta testing you need I will be glad to jump to the front of that line
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
Thanks for the good news, can't wait.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Geko90:
I agree with the last posts! I cannot wait for the 3.5 sense... I have it on my "old" desire and it drives me mad, not having it on a device as new, as the mt4gs is...

thanks for your hard work!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
is the 3.5 sense update going to have the fixes??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Bugfixes?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
My guess is you don't know what 3.5 is.....it is version 3.5

Basicaly an upgraded polished sense 3.0. When it comes out will be a new ROM and be beta testing. VU will be supported Chris says but he is focused on 3.5...

and stable kernel
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
I know that 3.5 is the version of sense. The point I'm making is... it seems like this current Unity ROM isn't getting no updates. I remember seeing the devs saying they had fixes but never posted it up (a legit fix for mms besides using GOSMS, and the gallery forece closes). So I'm assuming they are just going to wait until this new version with sense 3.5 to drop... but like you said, that'll be in beta testing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
This rom is a beta as well. So not a whole lot will change.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
I am eargly waiting the next sense rom to drop...be an upgrade of vu or a sense 3.5 beta...I thought about trying cm7 and finding a ics theme to use....but not going there yet....lol....wish I was brave enough to try and Dev myself...I would have no idea where to even think about beginning....I could go get the runnymeade RUU and work on a ROM for us but I have 0 clue how to go about porting...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Honestly if you're thinking about CM7 for now go with Undeadk9's Senseless ROM - I'm running it right now and it's way better than the CM7 currently available, plus it has the stock lockscreen and phone dialer w/ integrated voicemail which I really like having. It has a very AOSP feel and runs really smooth. But I'm also excited for a sense 3.5 ROM, should be fun!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
I seen the leaked Runnymeade RUU on the forums in the Android section of the forum...would be nice if I knew how to port...I found a thread that was supposed to tell you how to port one version of sense to another htc phone but seems those instructions didn't work to well for those who tried it...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
so i flASH 2.36.0 and then then the 2.39.1 patch

are there additional patches

whats the best kernal for this
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Use the stock kernel. Dont use unity kernel. Way to many issues
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
You flash 2.39.0 in the OP and then the 2.39.1 patch. It may or may not include an updated kernel, I'm not 100% sure.

You'll have to search through previous posts to find the kernels really. There's an OC.zip patch and a kernel_V2 patch that I flashed in succession right after wiping everything and flashing the ROM. I didn't have any issues and quadrant ran at least 2500 each time with overclock available up to 1.7Ghz. There may be some issues with some devices as it's a beta build but just do a nandroid before you make modifications and if you don't like it just go back! Stock kernel works just fine too, though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
I been using v2 kernel since its been posted and had no issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
It seems that most of the problems are coming from the kernel atm. I will try to get mdj involved into it. But he is very busy atm and was sick too :(

About the question if we are continuing Unity...yes. But it will really depend of the amount of the users are running it after we have release our 3.5 rom. Because if there is a low user base for Unity we will only make some important fixes. If there are more people than there will be coming for sure bigger updates.

And I hope that we can get 3.5 running on the doubleshot too.

And there is a lot of your problems already fixed...like small MMS, trackpad sleep on lockscreen and the camera hardware button (hopefully, was a blind fix during making another fix).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
Do we have any idea when the first beta will be out for the 3.5 sense?....out of curiosity
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ...l3lkco@l...:
This rom IS my daily driver. I really enjoy it. If the issues can get fixed I would definately continue to support it. I love the way its layed out. Those issues mentioned are indeed hindering my ability to use this rom and this rom ONLY. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of roms that r currently out but continuing development on this rom, in my book is a must.

Thank you very much for your hard work!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
Never it was our plan to stop supporting this rom. Because there is a big user base running on it. Over all devices we are supporting. And I will try to fix the few existing bugs for doubleshot too. And I will happy if we see then some users on Affinity too:D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
You gotta keep up development. More and more people are getting this device. We got two big name ROM makers (vitruous and cm7) and me being a lone wolf of course But please keep development going on this. And we need a stable kernel, i know mdeejay can do it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dmarco:
One other issue with the VU ROM for Doubleshot is the fact that you can't move apps over onto the SD Card. Still have problems with that:(

P.S. Could we also get Visual Voicemail on this ROM pleeeeaaaassseeee :) Thanks Santa.lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
So installing GOSMS and freezing the original SMS/MMS program is the official fix for the small MMS? Because personally I would rather use handcent. GoSMS feels bulky.

Any word on the Gallery/Effects FC?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] 651stp:
please continue this i might be getting a mt4gslide soon !!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
Maybe my previous post was misunderstood. Or I made I mistake when I wrote it. Which is more possible.

We will for sure continue support for the MT4G Slide. But with the coming 3.5 rom there will be the question how much development will be on Unity (this 3.0 rom). When all of you moving for example to 3.5 it makes not so much sense fixing the few existing device specific bugs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Maybe that was my fault. :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
After a couple of hours of trial and error I finally came up with a solution to the small MMS issue.

This fix does NOT involve any 3rd party software.

First of all, make sure you have the original ROM virtuous_unity-v2.39.0_doubleshot_beta.zip package (this is a 376 MB File).

Then open the zip file with WinZip, WinRar, or a similar program and navigate to:

/system/customize/MNS/default.xml

replace "default.xml" with this file I uploaded (I also attached it, Just in case):

http://www.4shared.com/document/VJrFIAHA/default.html

NOTE: The file must be named "default.xml"

After replacing the file, copy the modified ROM to your SD card, and

make sure

you WIPE Data, and then flash the ROM.

BIG, BIG Thanks to joemm on this one !

If by any chance you have any troubles replacing the default.xml with the file I uploaded, once you navigate to /system/customize/MNS/default.xml on your zip file, edit this file and scroll all the way down to this string:

<!-- MMS UA string -->

<module name="MMS">

<function name="ua_string">

<set name="single">

<item name="value">HTC_Sensation_Z710e/1.0</item>

</set>

</function>

</module>

Replace this line:

<item name="value">HTC_Sensation_Z710e/1.0</item>

with this one:

<item name="value">myTouch_4G_Slide</item>

and you're all set!

You're welcome guys. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
If any one has any issues i will Make a flashable zip to fix this.

Do you think the doubleshot will get thrown into the mix with the other phones for the 3.5 ROM so we'll be able to flash the ROMs and updates and everything? That would be tits!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
I'm almost sure that it will work. I already started to work on it but I'm busy with real work for the hole day (and maybe nicht too):mad:

Just jumped on the forum to see if they have Affinity up yet...:(

Wow!!!! Installed it on a few Glaciers and it is Awesome! I would say about equal to Insert Coin on Sensation with Virtuous being better due to some slight favoritism;)

I gave up my MT4GS and jumped to the Sensation and now the Amaze....so I'm currently Virtuous-less now. Not happy with my ROM situation, but I am use to the 'lack of' with new devices. My MT4GS is only 20 feet away from where I sleep so I hope to flash it on my roomates MT4GS soon!

I have to say that Affinity is worth getting excited about...and then some. I hope the DoubleShot gets Sense 3.5 soon.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrisch1974:
I hope this too.

I wanted to post a short info that I'm trying to port Affinity to the MT4GS since two days. But it's really a beast. I only got it one time to boot. But this is also good that it shows that I should be really possible.

I'm busy over the weekend with family but will try my best to have a booting version next week. And i'm sure MT4GS users will love it too when it works:D

chrisch1974,

I got a $10 donation toward the cause.

Donation Sent (Unique Transaction ID #5W062226U3086730P)

The thought of starting a fund raiser for the Ruby-Amaze crossed my mind as I am getting enough of them out there, but, it looks as if the team is busy and team revolution hasn't got a S-OFF solution for the device yet....

...that would be another thread topic though. I have my 4G Slide people and future 4G Slide peeps eagerly awaiting 3.5!

Donations could only help the cause guys. Porting is tedious and time consuming work and chrisch1974 has a wife so I am sure she would be on board if a few dollars came in as she could do some shopping or whatnot whist chrisch1974 puts in some time during his @home time.

No, you need to use root explorer in order to set permissions.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
I don't think that's accurate... I think it was a long press on the app, and then properties and then you have the option to set permissions. It's been a while since I used it but I know it can be done.

Edit: You also have to make sure Root Explorer is checked off in options.

No, I was 100% accurate!!! You CANNOT set permissions in File explorer you need Root Explorer for that.
