Another issue - I noticed it's always trying to sync. Infinite account sync loop. It reminds me of that issue the mytouch 3g slide had last year. Also photo gallery keeps force closing now :(.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JtotheC:
Has anyone tried Romanbb's 2.6.35.14 kernel on this ROM yet? I know it *should* work, but thought I'd ask before giving it a shot...

Edit: I really, really need to fix my signature. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fredstar88:
day 2

photo gallery keeps force closing still :(. Can upload pics

my Bulletproof experience

It has been a few weeks, so I thought I'd give you an update on my experience with this ROM. First off, I came from the G2x - a device that never worked properly, even after a replacement and trying every ROM available. It was a very frustrating experience as I had not been on Android since the G1 (my last Windows phone was the Dell with the keyboard). I puchased the MT4GS for the physical keyboard, and I enjoyed the stock ROM apart from the bloat and a few minor glitches. For example, if you ever "apply" a theme (even at first boot), the ringtone automatically resets to T-Mobile jingle on every reboot.

Since rooting the device, I have tried almost every available ROM - each of which bothered me in some way or had strange glitches. I settled on the Lite ROM, which worked quite well. Unfortunately, in the last update there were some parts of the ROM removed that I liked to use. The came Blue's updated to Bulletproof. It had some of the stock things in there that I had forgotten about, like the Genious button. I am now enjoying access to this service and others. Blue's service has been outstanding; when I mentioned that I wish I could have the genious button and his keyboard tweaks, he made a patch for that.

So here's what I've done, and here are my findings. I took out Gmail.apk with a file explorer and removed Calendar via Bloater. I also used Bloater to install Mail, VVM, and a few other things. I used he keyboard patch that Blue made as well. After installing all my apps, everything works fantastic! I used the patch to change the lockring and the ringtone resetting to the T-Jingle on every reboot came up again. When I removed the Calendar.apk manually, I was unable to set up my Exchange account. Wiping data / hard reset doesn't fix issues, but actually creates new ones as the initial install does some extra things to the ROM that a hard reset doesn't do.

After a few fresh installs and a little toying around, I finally have a device with a ROM that maintains all the stock functionality, cuts some of the bloat, and has some performance enhancements that truely improve the user experience. Way to go Blue, and many, many thanks. Happy Holidays!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] roplusbee:
I have been using this ROM for about a week and it is pretty good out of the box. I switched to GoLauncher EX and it still works flawlessly. Has anyone tried the new radio out yet? I plan on giving it a shot tonight and report back in once I see what happens.........hopefully my signal strength improves or at least doesn't brick.

On a side note, do we need to run the "security" patch that undeadk9 posted or are we good as is?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ekinchheng:
Let us know whats up with the new radio, the security is aready patch with the rom no need to run it. I ran this rom for a month already and loving every bit of it. I haven't had no fc on the gallery yet with 100+ photos.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
You're fine without it. Blue has included it all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] roplusbee:
Good to know. I should be getting off of my shift here shortly, so I will go back to the tent and try out the new radio (maybe even try a kernel swap if it bricks, lol). I have everything downloaded already on my PC. Takes me a while to pull things down since I am in Afghanistan right now.........

I'll report back in a few hours :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Avelnan:
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but is there anyway to remove that disgusting green hue that exists almost everywhere? That is the only thing keeping me far, far away from this ROM.

Thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
besides the lockrings, I don't think so as of now.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
Doesn't it depend on which theme you use? The default on a reg stock rom is a blue based theme, that was taken out and replaced with a green one. The others available are either green red or pink. Have to find a blue based one (Bloater?)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
How do you install new Sense themes?

I found 3 different Sense 3.0 Themes (2 here at XDa and one in the market). It said they were installed but they didn't show up in the theme picker.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Use bloater. Blue had the themes, stock apps, and widgets there.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
I tried Bloater, but that only has the stock themes which aren't that nice and their colors (i.e. of highlighted menu items, button presses, etc) are green red or pink (also yellow?), no blue or gray. I think the original theme the phone came with was blue based, but that was taken out & replaced with with the Android robot & green coloring.

I have seen some nice looking themes around which I think would improve the experience throughout the phone - but how to get them to show up in the theme picker?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Avelnan:
Nope, the green hue is still there.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
Which other themes did you try? Can you direct me to them, and how to install them? At least if the menu highlights, etc are a different color it would help somewhat.

Also, what ROM are you using then?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mulder0990:
Blue said in an earlier post that the green was chosen because it was the least resource intensive color. He offered to create a patch if someone did the legwork and converted the icons to another color. (he said photo editing was not a high point of this rom.) I have ignored the colors of the icons because of how fast and stable this rom is. If you would like another color, message blue to get the images that need to be changed and change them to a color of your liking. It would be a great help to the other people that want a different colored theme.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
There's a thread in the General section "CM7 themes on bulletproof". How does that affect this discussion?

Also, I'm still struggling to understand. An out of the box MT4GS has a different default theme, which I think is more blue based, and then the other 5 themes (Retro, Jazz, etc). Why can't we restore the original default theme? I am personally not so bothered by the green in some of the icons bec I am using GoLauncher anyway, I would however like to see menu highlights and button presses at least in blue or gray. And what happened to the original default icons, why do they have to be recreated?

As far as green being least resource consuming, is that more then gray also?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
Looks like Blue is gone for a bit like he said huh?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
Agreed. Seems like the best rom out there for this device, but if there's a color i just cant stand is green, or orange! If i can get an opaque, or even a monotone version of this rom i'd take it.

Maybe a patch from blue6ix?? ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Yeah, but it's a much deserved break if you ask me. We know he's coming back, and he left us with this great rom before diggin out.

We just gotta be patient, I guess. Plus, it gives us a reason to figure stuff out for ourselves rather than depending on him for all the answers.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
That's true. If i can get a hold of the icons i might be able to change colors and send it to someone that can make a flashable patch out of them. Blue does deserve a good break, and he probably isn't even resting, I can imagine him cooking up an ICS rom or something.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Or a Kernel.

Hopefully he is resting. He deserves it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Happy New Years!

I'm on the east coast so it hit already.

I haven't read through, but saw some of the recent comments - thanks, and I haven't gone away.

I got my hands on a cast off desktop from someone who upgraded, and have finally gotten a shell to put my desktop burner in.

I took advantage of the christmas sales and bought a ton of optical media, and spent the last week moving data around and sorting out a long time coming mess.

I spent the last week burning discs, I've committed just over a terabyte of data to media and actually have some disk space again, without having to decide what I'm getting rid of to move forward.

Starting the new year with a new workstation, and even though it's older I can still get a lot of use out of it and it alleviates a whole lot of stress in my dev area.

I've got it partitioned, installed and imaged in several configurations, and am using it to finish getting the rest of my data off of my working media and on to the storage kind. Give me a few days to finish up and I'll be working much more productively then before.

I didn't realize the time drifted by that much, got wrapped up in my offline project - almost all set to fall back in to it.

I've been generating a lot of documentation as I go, which I'll start seeding soon.

I'll also get all the graphics organized and uploaded as soon as I can - what I'm doing now kind of got in the way of everything else.

Hope you are all bringing in the new year well wherever you are when it hits - 2012 is hitting the ground running and it's gonna be a great year!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
After using Bloater there are still a lot of apps I would love to take off such as "Talk", "WiFI Calling" (I use Simple Mobile), and GMail. How could I remove them and how do I know which are safe to remove.

Also, what is WiFi ADB? And could I get the icon off the status bar?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JtotheC:
What I'd like to see is a way to use WiFi calling without using my plan minutes (I have T-Mobile) like I did on my G1. I have a big problem with being charged for minutes when I'm using MY wireless network.

WiFi ADB gives you the ability to access your device via ADB via wifi as opposed to using a USB connection. If you don't know what ADB is, you don't need this...

Jeff
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
I recommend not removing the Google stuff. Every time I have in the past it has caused rom problems for me. Could be just me. You can make the Wifi ADB icon disappear by clicking on the notification which will open the app, going into the app's settings via the menu button and selecting for the icon to not appear on the status bar.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
Happy New Year to you too! And thanks for getting us through 2011. It was a rough year and would have been only rougher had you not stepped up to the plate.

I can't say Thank you enough.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nl1bzw:
Going to try this 1. Hopefully i will get rid of the stock apps installed with using a new rom.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Back in August, T-Mobile gave a limited-time offer for people to sign up to not have wifi calling use their plan minutes, to the best of my knowledge this offer is no longer on the table.

Call them up and see what you can find out, never hurts to ask.

--------

I'm kinda batting out of order - I was playing with the BT issue for the sixaxis last night, and am coming to understand it a lot more.

One of the issues appears to be with the way the controller spams the read-byte and overflows the connection with the way bcrm is set up.

I printed out a lot of my ddms logs from last night and am gonna spend some time in kernel code if I get home tonight, otherwise when I get a chance to get to my dev pc again - I have a pretty decent idea of where I need to find the changes I need to make.

( and yes... it looks like re-writing the bluetooth stack is the only way it's gonna work )

I still have to comb through the decompiled bluetooth apps from /system, so maybe some shortcut will turn up there, but i'm not holding out hope that it'll be so easy.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
you can use bloater, or titanium back up to get rid of apps you don't want.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] homis:
Working for T-Mobile, I can say the free wifi calling is still available, but it only works with the current Classic or Value plans. It cannot be added to grandfathered plans like the Even More, Even More Plus, or MyFaves plans. Adding it does not require contract renewal or anything, its just a matter of requesting it be added by a rep or doing it through the T-Mobile website.

Hope this helps out a bit.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JtotheC:
Yeah, I can give that a try. I've only been a customer of theirs since way back in the day. I guess I'm just pissed that I should have to. Rage against the machine, baby!

But now after cal3thousand's post, guess that's off the table. Got an ancient myfaves plan...should still call to complain, though; gotta remind them that old customers of theirs can easily become new customers of another carrier. :)

Jeff
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
Try it, let us know what happens, please!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
I think homis deserves the credit for the WiFi calling info.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Big-O:
Fast stable rom, here are some suggestions that would make this my daily driver though:

Swap the lock screen for a true 3.0 lock screen.

Exchange rosie for a 3.0 version.

Please remove all the custom green hues.

If possible add the sense dialer & the new HTC IME with the swype like features

Thank you
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KrnlPanic:
So basically what he's saying, Blue, is reverse all the hard work you've put into this rom... ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Litesorrows:
How's your Kernel Work going? :3 Do you plan on making ICS Kernels when CM9 Comes out?

Sent Via. Dragon Fire, and Burnt Toast. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] n3rdftw:
lockscreen and security

hey, i couldnt find it on a bug list or thru search, but when i try to enable pattern unlock, it conflicts with the lockscreen, so that I have to go thru two layers. is there any way to just disable the htc lockscreen so that it goes straight to the pattern unlock screen?

thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Big-O:
Not really, this rom is based on the stock DoubleShot rom; if he'd make those suggestions happen we'd have a fast stable Sense 3.0-"ish" rom where everything works, but with non of the issues that are typically associated with a port
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
My job is getting in the way of development - I need to keep one device ready to use for work purposes ( the primary reason for purchase ) and i've sent my second in for a warranty issue. Nothing major, but wanted to get it fixed before the manufacturer warranty ran out.

Not having the second device has curtailed my dev time, having to keep my primary ready for work is crippling my ability to move forward.

I've compiled a few kernels, but nothing i'm happy with and haven't had the chance to let them run for more then a few hours at a shot ... unless they can settle in for at least 24 hours I can't test them accurately and fully. The last thing I want to do is physical damage to people's phones, so release is being held back until I can make sure things are working as they should.

Tbalden seems to be making a lot of progress with ICS integration, i'll keep moving in the direction i've been as I get the time to do so. Mostly right now it's trying to get guides hammered out and adding my thoughts to problems and issues people are having. Seems like the best I can do under the current circumstances.

Once I get my other device back, and then get some more free time to dump into this project it'll take off under the same speed it was before, but right at the moment i'm kind of stalled.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etrick:
Read this thread, and read the compendium.

You can't just swap the rosie. First there is no source, and we lack a superdork with a thousand hours to figure out how to merge mysense and sense together to have all features of both. Second, its not the point of this rom. Read the thread.

The green hue was intentional. And took a lot of work. And helps your doubleshot get better battery life.

If you want 3.0, go get virtuous. If you want an enhanced stock rom, stripped of bloat and garbage, built to be a base for people to start from, this is your rom.

Read the compendium, so you can make those changes. We all can't wait to see your new rom mr. Big-o.

Oh and how's it run on your dream? Curious because I have one in my desk and if this runs on it I prefer the bulky squareness.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Big-O:
Mind your business, I wasn't talking to you. I made a general suggestion, if you don't like it, don't read it. XDA used to be a great place to exchange ideas, but punks like you have ruined that. Rather then take out your nerd rage on my suggestion, try talking less & writing more code, who knows maybe you'll be that superdork with a thousand hours who does figure out how to merge mysense and sense together to have all the features of both... As for my Big-O rom, sorry not gonna happen, I've only messed with making small mods for roms... We all can't be as skilled as you, BTW what's the name of your flawless rom again??? "Nonexistent" sorry, I never flashed that one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
C'mon guys, let's not do this here, it's hard enough for me to keep up right now without having to sort through stuff like this. Let's just let it go and move on.

--------

I'll take a look at the lockscreen stuff when I get the chance.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Crkr:
Just came back to this, never ran 1.1 because I got back into virtuous due to true 3.0 but I made my way back to this rom. Gotta say, the route you have taken the rom blue is phenomenal. I don't know the future path you are going with your deving, but if you shy away from this and start on another rom I will be following that one too. I am hooked on the work you've contributed and love it. Thanks for the work and time you've put into this Blue, it truly is amazing and snappy once it all settles.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etrick:
I didn't mean to come across mean, I was trying to catch u up. The joke about dream is because I saw u had one. Your suggestions had been covered.

t-mobile Mobile Security - enabling Location Checks

Hi

I have t-mobile mobile security service and when i try to enable Location Checks, i am unable to select the "On" in the dropdown menu. Any ideas?

TIA
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
Hey Blue, is there any way, by any chance, to get a Tweaks.apk flashable zip? I'd love to add battery percentage and crt animations to cedde's lite rom. Just wanting to know if it's possible to flash the Tweaks to it. And also what files would I have to extract to push it to my phone and get it working if a flashable zip doesn't exist?

Thanks in advance.:)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I am not sure what you mean by this, could you be a little more specific? What is the T-Mobile security service?

Thanks!

Romanbb's tweaks appear in many ROMs all over XDA, it's a very popular addition (obviously so :) ) ...but isn't mine to give away. You could pull tweaks.apk out of the ROM, that'd give you a start on it - but if you're going to use it for more then personal enjoyment i'd ask him before redistributing (it's only polite :) )

Pull it out and put it in your /system/app folder and then use Root Explorer to set the permissions like other apps, reboot, and find out what's not working and start problem solving. Not sure what others will let you set file permissions off the top of my head, I really like Root Explorer - worth the purchase to me because it does exactly what I want with no fuss.

...and also check Romanbb's thread here in the MT4GS forums about the Extended Quick Settings

The CRT animations are built into the Bulletproof framework and are not so easy to port. To make them work, Romanbb burnt a project focusing on just that - and it was worth every minute in my estimation. He put a lot of tedious effort into that one for us.

Sorry for the short reply, i'm on borrowed time at the moment but at least got a real terminal to log in from.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
Thanks, I was imagining it wouldn't be so easy :/

It is for personal use, but anyway I can go without it for now. Thanks for your quick reply :) I'll get working on porting it to cedde's lite rom for my use, but whenever I have time to. Not planning it anytime soon though, too much on my plate with my wife and all...

Thanks once more though and keep up the excellent work :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Crkr:
Thanks for this Blue, will be flashing sometime today or tomorrow. Good to see life back in the dev section on XDA.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shady503403:
Anyone get the issue with market sayin there's no storage when tryin to install apps??

Fix??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
Another quick question on the topic of restoring without Titanium. (If it gets complicated, I'll start a new thread in the general forum).

What's the easiest way to reinstall all (free, not just purchased) apps from the market? Do I have to go searching for them one by one? And I've never used Google's data backup feature, but if I understand correctly, when I redownload an app it'll also restore saved data for that app?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Reboot into recovery, clear cache and dalvik and then reboot. That should help. The new market is funny on a new install sometimes.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
When you re-download apps by hand from the market, the data will not be restored...(unless there is certain app data that is stored for that app on the sdcard. But in general, you will need to re-setup your app settings and such). The only ways I know of to restore app data is with Titanium Backup, Mybackup Pro, or with an advanced data restore in ClockworkMod. But as per the OP, a clean re-setup by hand is recommended, and is always better when switching ROMs, in order to avoid issues.

There is a market app you can use to make DLing your apps easier... It's called Appbak, and it simply creates a text file list of all your apps, so when you install the new ROM, you redownload Appbak, and it will take you one-by-one to each of your apps in the market, so you don't have to search for them all. But it will still be a fresh install of all your apps, without restored data to cause issues :)

I hope this helps some.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Thanks for your hard and thorough work on this, Blue.... I know we all feel that this great ROM is in very good hands!

And happy Thanksgiving everyone!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
This.

This is a problem that usually occurs when the /cache partition isn't wiped correctly.

I would worry that the install didn't run correctly, and though extreme would recommend re-flashing the install again - just what i'd do.

I will set up an md5 for the ROM after the thanksgiving holiday.

I got scheduled for working from 8 to 8 tomorrow, but that should get me home a bit earlier tonight to get some time in.

We're about to do dinner, so got to sneak away for a few mins to check on the thread.

Thanks to everyone for helping each other out, you guys are awesome!
