His ROM is sense. Unwarranted compromise.

That's pure nostalgia talking. The Dream is inferior in EVERY WAY to Vision and Doubleshot. Not sure what you're meaning by "G2s that never worked right"... I'm using a Vision right now (on Android 4.0.3), absolutely no complaints about it. Excellent phone. Just not quite as fast as Doubleshot, but robust and stable and great battery life.

If you've become used to the Doubleshot or Vision keyboard (they're practically identical), try going back to Dream and realize just how inferior its keyboard is. The only redeeming thing about it is the 5th row, but that doesn't even come close to making up for the tight spacing.

Battery life with this is better than stock. Doubleshot is just a battery HOG.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Your battery life seems unreasonably short. Not typical. My GF uses a doubleshot with this rom, battery life is adequate. Unplug at 7AM (leave for work), keeps on going (without fail) until 11PM (redlining, but makes it). Plenty of use of phone and SMS.

Google sync stuff active, though gmail application is uninstalled in favor of k9mail. IMAP push from two different email accounts.

One easy thing that you can do to improve battery life is make sure that market is NOT set to "notify" you on updates. That seems to suck a lot of juice.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Nostalgia or not, I prefer the G1 keyboard too. Spacing is a personal issue/taste, not a functional problem. I actually think the G1's keyboard was about perfect for me and if it wasn't for the limited capabilities of that phone I'd still be using it. I found that I could approach 20 to 30 cwpm typing with that keyboard which, while not phenomenal compared to the 70 cwpm I type on a full size 104-key, is still decent for a phone. I tried holding out for something better than the MT4GS, and even (very strongly) considered the Sidekick 4G whose keyboard, while better spaced and five-row, had very uncomfortably stiff tactile response, and whose user interface was very clearly designed for a 12-year-old, but the superior specs of the MT4GS won out. I almost regret getting this phone. It's great, but I abhor the keyboard as it's quite difficult for me to type on it. I find myself using the virtual KB far more than I did on the G1. I also hate how I think I'm hitting the spacebar when in reality I'm hitting the period. I find no need for duplicate buttons like "back", "menu", and "home", "genius" button is stupid, lazy buttons like a dedicated @, ?, and "www./.com" are a waste of space, and I really for the love of God miss having physical dedicated phone answer/disconnect buttons. All, of course, just personal preference.

And sense? Puke. Absolutely hate it. Worst interface evar. Period.

I hate the little things about the stock UI. For example, I enter the 7-digit phone number for my wife, long-press the resulting icon for her contact entry, and select "Send Text Message", when her reply comes in, it comes from the 11-digit equivalent phone number so I have to fully exit messaging and reenter in order to see it, and then it's a different thread altogether from the first. The workaround is to have both versions of her phone number in the contact entry. Okay, fine, but who wants all that for one contact? Again, just little things. Was never a problem on CM7 or its magpies.

My battery lasts me all day on the stock ROM. I don't use the phone much though. A few texts, maybe play some Freecell while I'm waiting on something, maybe a total of 30 minutes actually on the phone talking to someone. However, it maintains a wifi connection while I'm in the office, and when I'm not, I have it set to WCDMA only (we have decent coverage in Jacksonville) so as to only have the one radio on. I read somewhere that WCDMA standby uses less power than GSM standby, even though when active it uses more.

I also plug into the car charger while I'm driving. 10 minutes here, 20 minutes there. Keeps a healthy charge on it. On occasion I'll let it discharge pretty good, then I plug it into AC when I go to bed. 6 to 8 hours later, it's good to go.

Going Stock vs Stock (No Rooting, Kernels, OC, Addons.) My 3Gs was better than my G1. Stock the G1 is 1.6, iOS at the time I had it was 4.1. I still use my iPhone from time to time as a PMP.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Got a link? I've searched around and found a few ROMs based on CM9, and several others. Maybe I've gotten them confused between themselves what with all the ones that have popped up in the last couple months, but most of the ROMs I've found have one of the following things wrong with them:

1. "Must have S-Off"

2. Camera/Camcorder/SMS/MMS/Bluetooth/This/That/OrTheOther is Broken

3. Link Deleted (found this mainly with a couple of Undead's ROMs)

Those that don't fit this list basically are hosted on FileFactory, the slowest [free] download service I've ever seen. Not complaining, just I can't get my laptop to stay awake for nine hours while 400 megabytes download.

There are other nuisances but these are the most prevalent ones. Anyway, if you know where I can find this CM9 port, I'd be most obliged...

CM9 and ICS is unbearable to use with a hardware keyboard when Settings -> Application -> "Quick Launch" isn't there like it is on CM7 and all other previous versions. You can't use any other Searchkey(Geniusbtn)+"any letter" shortcuts as u were able to previously
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Ah, I see then... I may well try the ones with nonfunctional cameras. I've done roms like that before with the G1 and barely noticed when stuff I didn't use (bluetooth) didn't work, but unfortunately with the cutest almost-three-year-old-girl in the world living in my house, there are times that camcorder is almost a necessity :)

But I think I will give it a shot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
The CM9 port is worth trying, other wise PyroIce Desensed is the best ICS. It has everything working, and can be flashed with some magic with S-On. Newer users to this phone don't know how little roms we had. But now we have a shizz load. MIUI, CM7, CM9, Quatro, Sense 3.0, Sense 3.6, AOSP 4.0.3, Desensed ICS, a lot of wicked Stock based ROMs. :D Then there's like a million stock based, themed, and debloated roms on Rootz wiki.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
I'd love to try the Pyro Desensed, but it requires S-Off. I'm S-On Unlocked (HTCDev) and am wary to try anything that might brick me. Not sure if that's possible or not with this...

EDIT: Helps to keep reading. Turns out I CAN do this if I use Fastboot... which is no problem... I think... /EDIT

I wasn't so worried about bricks on my G1 -- I paid my in-laws back for them buying it in the first place, but this one was a Christmas gift and was quite pricy by comparison.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Make sure you have the Fastboot binary on your computer, unzip this ROM, take the boot.img out, fastboot it to your phone, then flash the ROM.

Delivered via candygram for Mr. Mongo.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Yeah, I've got fastboot... works too...

So, I flash the kernel (boot.img) **BEFORE** flashing the ROM? The ROM won't overwrite the kernel that's there?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
The instructions came from here.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Spent a little time perusing the threads and suddenly it came back to me -- the ROM flashing via recovery doesn't have access to write the boot partition where as fastboot does -- so it shouldn't matter if the kernel is written before or after the ROM is flashed as long as both things are done before booting. So yeah, makes sense to me now (I really should stop reading this right before bedtime LOL)

thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Theoretically, there are a ton of improvements that can be made to this rom, but I'm pretty sure everyone is just concentrating on CM9 now. There's no point in trying to stabilize an older version of android, when you've already got the latest version well on its way in development
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:
yea that makes sense... but if i'm looking for stable and looking for clean no-sense, i might as well just stick with this one for a while until CM9 is further along, right? seems like the three little issues listed with this rom are very tame, small issues that i could live with...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
Stay with this if you don't mind horrific battery life. All ICS roms are very nice. Virt. Inq. is one of the best. CM9/AOKP are good, but WIP's until we have the ported 3.0 kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:
is that true?

i know the cm9 specifically says that the battery life is bad. but i've seen nothing yet about this cm7 having bad battery life. and all the ics roms seem to have all kinds of various issues. i actually tried the wildchild ice for a few minutes before flashing cm7 and already ran into two (wifi having trouble connecting and then downloading an app from the market on a great connection taking FOREVER)... i guess i'll have to give it a few days and see if the battery life is really as bad as you say...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:

CM on Doubleshot

Hi all!

TL;DR

CyanogenMod 7 on Doubleshot will not see more updates (alphas, etc).

Few things:

CM7 is dead on the Doubleshot. My work for it is public, you can see how it (doesn't) work properly with what's public for yourself. The commits in the TeamDS GitHub prior to the ICS release date (in commit history too) makes it obvious when it changed.

CM7 relied on numerous private, hacked-to-hell repos (source files) from CyanogenMod, which were never ready for general consumption. In order for CM7 to build, you need them, and it's not under my control.

Because it was hacked to hell, and our hardware fully supports ICS, MSM8X60 was deemed 'dead' for CM7 (they were all selfkangs). We moved on to CM9.

Obviously I fell off, but recently with TBalden has helped us get back on track. I am working with him, and we officially forked our kernel into their repos. Hopefully soon the CyanogenMod/*doubleshot* repos (device/kernel) will be public. CM has always been dedicated to this phone, the device repo has been there since I joined in October, but due to the private pre-requisites, I could not make it public.

We are committed to mainlining the Doubleshot for CM9, I think that dedication has shown of late. We have v3 kernel booting and 'deep sleep' (preventing battery waste due to Bluetooth) functions properly. There are other issues requiring investigation, but more CM9 yumminess shall be forthcoming.

For those with wacked battery issues -- I started also having funky battery stats problems. I wiped it with CWM a few times, but I literally lost 10-30% off battery after reboots (keep in mind I am running kernel v3 testing, and I have messed with the binary htcbatt a bunch recently but NOTHING PUSHED in the alphas has changed).

This app seemed to get me back in good shape (not official CM endorsement, just something that got my battery to stop flaking out tonight):
