Don't worry mate, you posted in the right section and this is a rarely covered topic (in fact its one I battled with back on the Epic 4G). To answer your question, yes and no. Having never delved into the TW Messaging app I have no idea if you'd simply have to create and replace an image file or if we're talking massive edits. My advice would be to get a program like WinZip or 7zip and open the messaging apk with it. Look around for the images related to the bubbles and see if replacing them works.

This should help clear up some of the oft-asked questions for people new to the device.

Droidmoder really put a lot of effort into making this happen!

Edit - How did I forget to click thanks on the OP? Dec 14th, 2011
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Blue6IX,

thanks for your help. You helped more than you think you did!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Added to step ten.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Very nice write up =D.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yes, thank you very much! Now the goal is to keep it up to date which will probably turn into more work than you want, but thank you!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
No problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
Great Job!

Suggestion: a section on key remapping? (there was a thread somewhere but never got completed)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
I'm going to add this tonight. At work. I have that thread alreay :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Two threads actually.

Original

Then I made one for requests that people want in flashable zip form:

Requests

So technically, there is no need to 'finish' the first one, and I support my request thread as time allows. It's set up so any dev can come in and handle requests, and there are a few floating around here that would be more then happy to help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
by finish I refer to ekoee's post on shift+alt keys, either it never appeared or i could not find it at the time
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Ah, good catch - i'd forgotten about that with everything else that's been going on.

Wonder if someone will put time into figuring it out?

I bet the answer to that will also lead to the answer for getting other languages supported on the hardware keyboard.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Yeah sorry about that, I haven't had the time to start pulling apart key mappings. Ill make sure to get on it when work settles down.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
I thinking about moving key mapping in the dev section. Wouldn't it be more of a devlopmental thing?

Btw I'm going to refurb the dev sections with links and guides on adk adb and fastboot :).

What does "nandroid" backup mean?

I have backed up with the recovery and I have backed up with ROM manager. What is nandroid?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Nandroid is what clockwork mod calls the actual backup file.

Backup means to create a backup.

Nandroid is the file backup of your system . Hence nan (small) and droid the os. So you can also say you made a small android os :).

Ill add this to terminology when I get to it. Hope this helped.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RT2023:
Very helpful info, I unrooted, but theunlockr guide stated that this would turn the phone back to S-ON, but it hasnt, i have the stock tmobile rom back on the phone, but HBOOT states I still have S-ON, is this a problem? is there a way to get S-ON again so I can start the root process over? or am is there shortcuts I can take to root now that I have S-off?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
I actually do not know. I would assume s on is attainable. Why would you want s on, you can re root without going threw rev again.

Follow the root guide its easy enough.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RT2023:
You mean the guide from theunlockr? or another guide? if its another guide please post it? as far as following theunlockr method, in order to gain perm root it stated I have to first boot into recovery, and then flash the ZIP file, but when I try to go into recovery, I get a red exclamation mark, even though I have S -OFF
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Okay you have stock recovery that's why.

No worries.

Do you have any adb experience? If yes reply and ill post adb instructions.

Okay run revolutionary again. Since you have s off it should just ask you to install clockwork mod. Type Y.

This recovery has charging issues and will not charge so make sure you have battery power. Now that file you downloaded from revolutionarys site you can now flash. Hit install from sd card. Find zip and execute it. Note you may have to do it more than once. Some people reported not getting it the first time.

After that get rom manager. And flash the newest cwm. You're set. Go back and make a nandroid, and you re ready to rom.

This is a basic way. I can also tell you how to do it using adb/fastboot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RT2023:
Yes! That is exactly what I did.... The thing was I had to run revolutionary twice! After thed first run it said there was an error communicating with phone and the second time it told me if I wanted to install recovery, after that I did exacty what you typed and awesomeness!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Np glad you're up and running.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Morphine_OD:
Users be wary with the new update with HBOOT 1.45. It not yet possible to S-OFF/root on it, as the exploit revolutionary/zergRush is using is patched.

The update also unroots you, but if you had S-OFF you can downgrade to the stock firmware anytime. The instructions are in the update thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20489316&postcount=50
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Ill add this to the first line when i get home so people know.

Thanks for the post.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
This compendium is designed to orient newer people to where the most relevant threads are around here in the doubleshot sub-forums of XDA.

This thread, how can i help and get involved? was a great question asked by a new member to the boards.

I gave a reply that can help give some direction to people who want to help but don't have programming abilities (yet!) and if you just want to donate some time helping there are some suggestions given.

I think other people will answer that thread with suggestions for people who want to help but don't know how, so that thread will only help compliment this one more as it grows.

I wanted to get a link to it here.

Droidmoder, you have done an excellent job of keeping up with this thread and growing the guide with the forums.

This is really where everyone new to the device should come first to find out everything they need to know to get started with it - it's really awesome that we have this reference and someone keeping up with it. Having somewhere to point people who just got one of these devices so they can find what they need to know easily is very helpful.

Even for people who have been here for a while, it's still a quick and easy reference for specific threads, so they are easy to get to without having to search for them.

So thanks again for keeping up with this and working on making it the table of contents for the MT4GS forums - you're doing a great job.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Thank you blue. I try to keep it going, its hard sometimes with the real world getting in the way.

Thanks to you Too blue, you did a great deal of getting information to help start it.

I've looked at other forums and they are so disorganized. I am shocked that most of the forum's have a bunch of sitckies, with half the time outdated info.

I think the mods should maintain themselves or have a senior member maintain a thead like mine. It makes things easier and negates the use of the search function for broad topics, uncommon topics or multiple issues.

Most of the time if you want to root. That's one thread, recovery another, I bricked my phone what to do? Is another. How to unlock and do nandroids another. I get real frustrated using search and not have a one stop shop like the compendium.

Iam thinking about making compendiums for other forums just because of the sheer mess. My biggest turndown is lack of time.

I know this thread has helped people. How can it not? It covers everything from a layperson to developer . I plan on adding more links and threads to the dev section, I think its lacking and actually should be easy to do since most people will be on a higher level than a sheer layperson and less explanation is needed.

For example superoneclick, most devs and hackers know its a multi use root tool which can run multiple exploits from rageinthecage to gingerbreak (depending on version and device).

I made a long post like blue lol! Ill add that thread aswell.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I've updated the 'Stock App Reference' sticky at the top of the dev section.

It is now the 'doubleshot Developers Reference'

It has all the original info condensed into it's own section, and added quite a bit more with more coming over the next few days.

As a stock app reference it is now dated with ICS, so it's been updated to include much more then just the stock apps and should serve to cut down on the time developers spend browsing the MT4GS sub-forums for information.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
I was wondering when you were going to do that. If I added everything I think itt would be tmi no joke.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Droidmoder -

People with S-ON UNLOCK will have trouble when flashing roms that deviate too far from a gingerbread stock base.

S-OFF devices can handle anything, but if S-ON and UNLOCKED there are limits to what can and cannot be done or used.

First, kudo's to you Droidmoder, for the nice write up and to all who have put time and effort into the MTS4G development. Guess i was wondering about any new updates and the latest options for roms as a daily driver - any thing new since February?

what are the differences between the following roms and which is the most usable as a daily driver at this point. Do any of them keep the stock camera app? Or are these roms still rather largely unready for prime time action (daily use)?

Im running MikTouch 0.5 (not the latest 0.7) and use the phone a lot for pictures and video and am happy with the stock camera app in this rom... and was curious of new rom developments for later versions of android, certainly one can search the forum but it would be nice to have all the info in one place im sure there is a few more roms with active Developer support I may have left out unknowingly. Guess i was wondering if there was a new ROM Bible for the MT4GS?

HELP!!!

I used your system to root my wife's 4G Slide. The basics of the phone work, but I can NOT download anything from play store, do a hard reset either though settings or recovery OR do anything through recovery! I can't do restores, install zips, anything. I went back into the toolkit and relocked the phone, put the stock recovery on it and still can't do a hard reset. Please help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
Can you get a custom recovery installed on it? If you can you could do a factory reset from that or load up one of the GB roms from the development section. Those can pre-Rooted so you wont have to root the device.

[General Questions and Answers] Tachi91:
I know LTE-A is better since its true 4G, but what I'm curious about is LTE a huge hardware difference to LTE-A? Would it be a simple software change to allow faster Bandwidth similar to how T-mobile increases their HSPA+ from 14>24>44 etc OR is it more of a major hardware change say like going to each tower and adding specialized Equipment

Sum it up LTE to LTE-Advance as simple as a Firm/software change or is it a tower upgrade?

Verizon could at any moment flip the switch and go full blown LTE-A or would it be another slow roll out of tower upgrades?

I'm guessing current LTE device will be able to connect to LTE-A but max out due to 1st Gen LTE modem limit

wikipedia (yea yea whatever) == "Backward compatibility of LTE-Advanced with LTE. An LTE terminal should be able to work in an LTE-Advanced network and vice versa. Any exceptions will be considered by 3GPP."
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
I am locked out of my Nexus S due to a Force Close loop with Nfc.app caused by installing a non-working fix for the Google Wallet app on the T-Mobile (thanks Google!). I therefore can't run root explorer etc.

I am trying to remove Nfc.app using but get these errors:

$ rm /system/app/nfc.app
rm failed for /system/app/nfc.app, Read-only file system

$ remount
remount: permission denied

# mount -w -o remount /system
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

Any way I can get past the read-only error, and the failure of remount?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Boot in recovery and run adb shell. That'll give you root permissions and access to the file system.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
I tried but that's all I came up with. If you could type the line of command I need, I'd really appreciate it, and give thanks ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
adb shell only inherently grants root permissions on an insecure boot image. If he's stock, rooted he'll get the standard user prompt and have to request elevated privileges.

No offense, but the Thanks Google is a bit snarky - they didn't provide for T-Mobile users and never distributed the APK to flash.

For something helpful though - go ahead and boot up normally. Grab a shell, su and remount /system manually

mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system

You have to tell mount which partition to mount, it won't accept just a mount point.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Thanks, but how do I request elevated privileges? E.g. I get this:

$ mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system

mount: Operation not permitted

And this:

$ fastboot OEM unlock

fastboot: permission denied

Seems I can't do anything from the $ prompt.

PS: My snark at Google was for releasing a fragmented product that was not available to T-Mobile in the first place, hence these problems with the cracked version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Are you rooted - if so then su prior to issuing the mount command?

If not, Is the bootloader current unlocked? You don't use fastboot from the device shell. Fastboot is a command line utility used from your local computer to operate on the device when it is in the boot loader.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Bootloader was already unlocked.

I solved it:

Rebooted into fastboot mode by holding volume up and power

On computer navigated to folder containing fastboot and put the clockwork.img in there

Typed fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img

I now have CWM recovery back, thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookle:
My nook color has recently started shutting down at around 30% battery. I was running on a nightly of cyanogenmod7 from around June, and just updated to the new stable 7.1. I ran that battery calibration app after installing the new rom.

Still does it.

This is what happened just now:

I start it up (holding the power button for a few seconds), and it boots.

It gets to the main screen, starts loading some widgets, then reboots.

It gets to the main screen again, but shuts down even faster and does not reboot.

It will not power on at all.

Almost sounds like the battery is fubar, but for some reason android is not seeing it as being dead.

Even after being plugged in it still reboots a couple times, until it get above 31 or 32%.

Anyway, I'm not sure what all anyone would want to know about what I have installed, so if anyone could throw out some ideas that would be great.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
Sprint just started building out*its LTE network, but being the eager beavers that they are, the folks in Overland Park are already talking about taking the Now Network to the next level. Iyad Tarazi, Sprint's VP of network development and engineering, said that Sprint will be rolling out an LTE-Advanced network in the first half of 2013. (As a brief refresher, LTE-Advanced is a*true 4G technology*that can make regular LTE speeds lookpositively pedestrian*in comparison.) Tarazi added that we would see 12 LTE devices in 2012 and that over 250 million people will have access to Sprint-flavored LTE by the end of 2013 -- with*voice over LTE*service coming in the first quarter of that year. For those (hundreds?) of you worried about the fate of of WiMAX, well, don't. Apparently, the out-of-favor 4G network will continue to be supported for several more years due to Sprint's agreement with Clearwire. So, it appears Sprint's really making a run atVerizon's*LTE hegemony. Good luck Mr. Hesse, you're probably going to need it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
Tell Me about it I have crap speeds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
They aren't going to put up new towers.

Sprint actually has the most towers of all the major carriers.

Network Vision is actually going to allow for less towers while giving more coverage and better speeds.

More towers does not necessarily mean more coverage.

Just higher costs to run the network / maintenance.

This. Can't wait for LTE on Sprint.

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
Exactly. Sprint doesn't support Wimax in my area now - I can rarely connect and when I do I get crappy speeds. So their continued support of them doesn't exactly inspire me. As long as they are rolling out LTE why not roll out EVDO rev B at the same time at virtually no additional cost? And for goodness sakes, increase your backbone that the towers connect to and fix your proxy servers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asqwrd:
Im confused y do people keep saying they want sprint to focus on 3g speeds and coverage from my understanding of network vision isnt that what they are doing in addition to switching to lte? I dunno maybe i missed read
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
On two separate networks, CDMA and iDEN?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I don't know about others but I'm saying their network speeds where I need them - Arizon, CA, NY, FL and CT are wretched for 3G and 4G rarely even works well/frequently disconnects and isn't very fast where I've managed to maintain a connection. So to put it succinctly - Sprint data speeds suck both on 3G and 4G everyplace I need them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asqwrd:
I live in the Bay area and although slow the speeds have been enough for me to surf and check stuff. I just recently finished school in NY and just moved out here a few months ago and my speeds in new york seemed fine as well as in CT. I had the EVO then and all summer until the epic came out. 4g has sucked as far as coverage everywhere i went but when i do get a connection the speeds were about 4-6mbps. To be honest i didnt notice that my 3g speeds were really slow until i started seeing people complain in threads lol i guess ignorance is bliss.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Because they're quickly moving to LTE Advanced.

When they do that they will actually be a "true 4g" network with voip etc.

Everything will be data.

As far as your backbone comment, that's exactly what Network Vision is doing.

That's exactly what Sprint is doing unfortunately people really haven't read into it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
"Within the range of system development, LTE-Advanced and WiMAX 2, can use up to 8x8 MIMO and 128 QAM. Example performance: 100MHz aggregated bandwidth, LTE-Advanced provides almost 3.3Gbit peak download rates per sector of the base station under ideal conditions. Advanced network architectures combined with distributed and collaborative smart antenna technologies provide several years road map of commercial enhancements."

Could you imagine 3.3Gbps? LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I would be thrilled if Sprint even delivered 3mbps where I need it, frankly .3mbps is very discouraging.
