That's odd. Sounds like the app didn't get the memo about how daylight savings time works.

Let me ask, did you let the device sit for ten minutes without being touched or moved after the first boot from your initial install?

--------

What I recommend you try first to solve the problem is to reboot into Clockworkmod recovery, and do a nandroid.

Once that's all taken care of, get yourself to the main Clockworkmod menu and then select the option to "wipe cache partition".

Then select the option "advanced" and choose "wipe dalvik cache"

After both caches are wiped, reboot the device like normal, and then don't play with it for ten minutes while it is finishing rebuilding your cache libraries.

That should take care of it for you, but if it doesn't let me know and we'll go from there.

--------

In ver. 1.1 the only email application that comes with the install is Gmail. You can get the stock email client and widgets through Bloater.

( I'll be adding all the widgets individually under a new tab in Bloater sometime not long after I get done with 1.1 - Meantime Bloater will install / uninstall the widget with the app. )

I've been getting ridiculous battery time. On UndeadK9's senseless, I was getting about 16-18 hours of normal use.

With this ROM, I've jumped to about 36 hours extrapolated on the amount of % left when I'm done with the day.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MisiuKP:
I will try do it one more time.

My next qietion: after firs boot and from time to time I'm receivimg similar text messages:

+10076200000: <sisa:59903930:1:1:199:39729219>UA3ufrWEVVM8lOKCND5kVg
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Wow theres so many good battery reports that made me wanna try this rom

Once i get home ill flash it
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MisiuKP:
Did that - no change, additionally performed full wipe, reinstalled ROM, set aside for 30 min, after that set up phone only with google and exchange and calendar on mytouch is even worse
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Alright, sorry that your phone got all jammed up for the better part of an hour with no good results.

I gotta run to the Post office, when I get back i'll dive into it and see what I can find. Still far enough away from 1.1 to make temporary patches as i've been, and the chances are high this isn't a problem which got solved for the next version.

I'll check it against the current download version of 1.0, then against the development version i'm running, and if it's fixed i'll already have the answer and just have to find it - if not, I really appreciate you bringing it to my attention so I can fix it.

Are there any other issues with the calendar, or just the time being off by an hour?

( also - do you have your time settings set automatically, or manually in the phone settings menu? )
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MisiuKP:
Thanks for qick replay.

I didn't notice anything else so far.

Time settings are set automatically.

My touch is my secondary phone and I didn't notice this right away.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] richierich118:
Same for me I have installed this yesterday and I went all day today without having to charge my phone wow. I am on the phone right now and its got 19%.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
you know, I had a feeling about this same thing. Does anybody have any idea why this might be? Undead's SHOULD be easier on battery. Maybe in pulling apart all the Sense stuff, he broke some things he shouldn't have?

I dunno, but I swear I get better battery on this ROM as well. But I'm a flashing addict, so I rarely get a good chance to put a battery through it's paces lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Undead is a cumbersome chef, Blue actually knows what he's doing... That's the difference that speaks in each's roms.

Our community jumped on undeads works cos he was the only one. I've tried his stuff and its nice but under the hood its crappy. This is the truth. Blues work speaks for itself he don't need to blow smoke up his a$$ like the other man did on here.

Blue for el'presedenté ;)

how can I disable screen unlock when keyboard being open?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
It was apparent even in the earlier version of Bulletproof. Romanbb got this thing to a great start and it seems that Blue6IX is improving while maintaining the battery efficiency (possibly improving it as well).

I was able to leave the phone off of the hook without it dying overnight for the first time ever.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
what the hell are u talking about

undeads work is amazing 3 active roms that he supports, he friggin made the first ice cream sandwich rom (i no its just a theme but under android version it says 4.0 wich nobody done yt) and he built it off source

blue is a good developer but he didnt even make this rom romanb did

blue is just adding in tweaks and polishin it

undead is the best (currently) developer for this phone and he spends a ****load of time macking sure his roms are perfect
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KrnlPanic:
Blue, perhaps you can answer this question for me as I've asked it in a few other feeds but have yet to receive a reply...

I have read in a few other posts that the stock software that comes with our Doubleshots (I don't even remember the version anymore since I'm such a rom-hopper) does not utilize the dual-core feature of the snapdragon processor.

Is this true? And if so, is it something that can be enabled via a new kernel (like, hopefully, the TV-out)?

I figured if anyone around this joint might know, it'd probably be you...

And thank you again for all your hard work and dedication to the Doubleshot!

Guys, I appreciate the feedback about the project, but if this is going to turn into a hate match i'll shut it down in an instant.

If I come into this thread and start seeing people saying this dev is better or that one, or talking smack on other people who invest time into pushing development of the device forward, one day you may just come to this thread to find every post I ever made in it gone and the thread locked by a moderator.

I come here to relax, learn something, and have fun. I have a very positive attitude about life in general, and conduct myself in an up-beat happy-go-lucky fashion.

Lets share knowledge, not insults.

I don't generally get involved in all the bickering back an forth people seem to like to do instead of learning how to do something new with their phone, but I will respectfully request that people leave that BS out of my development threads.

Anyone who contributes works and software for the good of the community deserves a certain amount of respect, regardless of any other issues to the contrary.

As this entire forum is a place for developers to come together and share knowledge, all the bickering and hate is turning people away from this phone here at XDA.

I'm trying to do everything I can to populate the MT4GS forum with information, guides and examples of how to do things - but if the overall tone of this sub-forum stays the same spiteful way it's been, development will never move forward for this device.

I'm sick of seeing it, but as I mentioned before, if I start to see it in my development threads i'll be very likely to just stop developing on those projects.

THERE IS NO NEED TO RESPOND TO THIS POST. JUST LET IT GO AND STAY ON TOPIC - PLEASE.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
ok but i think u got the wrong idea

ur a really good developer that i respect and ur rom does indeed own

but i just dont want people to be making fun of other devs that work hard

but i luv ur rom theres good battery life,and its just cool an simple:)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MisiuKP:
I wish I can have courage like you to sit dawn and learn myself how to develop a working ROM.

I do not know even where to start.

THANK YOU for your effort!!!

Thank you - for now I just enabled pin lock - this way even my keyboard slide-out screen is waiting for PIN. Little painful, but works.

A little bug? "show E instead of 2G" and "show H instead of 4G" doesn't work, is there anyone else same to me?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I'm glad you improvised a solution, and appreciate you sharing it here for others to see in case anyone else comes across the same situation.

I'll try to address this after we get all set up, for now that's one of those 'wish I could have it' items.

Sweet - thank you. I posted up a while ago in the thread that I wasn't sure if that was working, and you're the first one to get back to me with some input (pretty sure - first I saw)

I didn't think it was working based on what I was looking at in the code, so I wanted to make sure it really wasn't working.

If other people can confirm this? ~Thanks!

That leaves two open wounds - Groups messaging tab and a tweaks option that don't work. I knew about both (at least the potential thereof) beforehand, but i'd like to strive for better next time.

Anyone find any other bugs? please keep looking!

TV-out should be working in Sense-based ROMs - in re-reading through your post on my way to creative bliss, it struck me that you may not be using your TV-out?

It is fully functioning in the ROM, and I provided everyone with Mobo Player on the ROM install. It's to me, the best video player for Android and it's free. It has an option in the menu settings to use 'soft decoding' as default, which circumvents the limitation of hardware rendering on TV-out for movies.

If you aren't using Mobo Player in conjuction with your TV-out cable to play movies on your TV, you're missing out!

Just putting it out there for you or anyone else who comes through and this info might help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
thanks Blue for your incredibly thorough work on this ROM! i was wondering if anyone is experiencing a little quirk when returning to the home screen after being in an app or something, where the home screen will be all blank except for your wallpaper... your apps and such won't be there. i get this, and it can be fixed usually by fiddling a bit, like by putting the phone to sleep and waking it back up, or something like that.

i remember the launcher being a bit quirky like this back when i was running the stock deodexed ROM, as well as earlier version of Bulletproof. however, i also have a rooted ODEXED stock setup that does not do this. has anyone experienced this at all?

on a semi-related note, has anyone also noticed the quirk where your home screen will be 'shifted over', and the app you select will actually the open the app right next to it?? to fix it, you have to move over by one home screen, and it will look just like the one you were just on, but it will open the correct apps? i've been noticing this on pretty much every ROM based on the stock ROM, and even my odexed stock setup does it sometimes. very strange, and i've been noticing it for a while, but it is so small a bug and so easily worked around that i never mentioned it or saw anyone else mention it.... maybe it's just me and something i am doing to my setups?

anyway, sorry for the long post, i've been meaning to bring these small things up for a while :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
I can confirm the shifted wallpaper / home screen glitch.

Also, in the tweaks section, I cannot get the signal to change colors automatically. Also, it seems stuck on using 4G/3G/2G and won't switch to H/3G/E
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MisiuKP:
+ 1 from me, same things
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Thanks for the replies.

The automatic signal color option only applies to signal text - not to the signal bars themselves.

If you don't have signal strength displayed in text it won't have any effect.

I misunderstood that when I first played with Romans tweaks as well, try setting signal text to show or small dbm and then trying to automatically color. Don't forget to change the colors, as they are all set to white by default.

--------

The improper screen redraws from time to time i've noticed as well, both here and on other ROMs.

I wish I knew what was causing it to redraw improperly. My biggest way to get it is the 4x1 google search bar (removed by default in the upcoming 1.1) sometimes shows it's landscape draw in portrait mode.

I don't think any vanilla android (AOSP) implementations have this issue, I think it's something in Rosie itself. I've already customized Rosie somewhat and made it unique to the ROM, so as I progress i'd like to get to the bottom of this issue. I appreciate the tip about the odexed version not seeming to have this bug.

I still have my old odexed version backup of the stock ROM - i'll start digging through it and comparing the code of the two once I get 1.1 released.

Sorry for the lateness here, I finally slept and am trying to orient myself as I wake up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Welcome back to consciousness! Lol

Just to clarify, the home screen 'shift' issue is also happening on my odexed stock setup, so I woud tend to think that that quirk came with the factory-shipped ROM? Not sure if you guys are confirming the blank home screen thing, but that is the thing I am seeing on the custom deodexed Sense ROMs but not on my odexed stock setup.

Thanks for looking into this! It's not really too big a deal, but slightly annoying when I have to reload the home screen for the apps and widgets to show up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
Hey man, quit sleeping on the job! :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Lol.

I have now officially edited over 1,000 individual graphics files from the ROM in photoshop.

I need to take 5. Gonna chill, maybe eat some breakfast, talk to my lady for a bit, then dive back into it.

Not sure how many are left, but i'm in the home stretch.

In many, many cases i've reduced the size of .apk files by quite a bit and throughout the system have considerably reduced the size of graphics files and set them to the same color mode and file types...basically normalized as many graphics as I could to being essentially the same.

It definitely loads everything quicker without having to use different color profiles for the different graphics throughout the ROM.

I hate graphics work. Once this is done, it'll be done though, one time hate-investment (lol??)

I will make all the icons that i've edited available as a separate download under the Mods category in the OP. (only a small part of the graphics edited...)

It took a whole lot of time, effort and frustration to do this work, so i'd appreciate other crediting me for the base to work from if they use it, but I can at least save someone else a large part of the 90-something hours i've spent in photoshop so far.

It sucks that i'll end up clocking over 100 hours in photoshop before it's done, but it'll save the rest of the community time from having to do it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Clucking for 1.1 Blue ;)

I really appreciate your time and your effort in annotating your progress/thoughts here in the open. It's great to see.

Functionality wise for me, additionaly I would want from the device through bulletproof is:

1. the Groups messaging functionality to work,

2. the TV-Out without skip/freeze/flaw....(though would really be exstatic to find that MHL may work for our device, this would deem our device as untouchable in so many ways..... Although possibly not even possible, but its a great wish list to discover this capability or not as our case may be.)

3. In call record functionality (direct line from mic & speaker.. pure, successful on certain devices, hopefully ours, I dunno.)

4. The bluetooth to wii/ps3 remote.

5. Possibly the beats mod allowing for that native record feature (I'm a producer, and this would be a rich feature to have on device for those mobile moments.)

Those 5 are tough but defo on my 'wants' list.

If there is anything in anyway I can help you in working out any of the above please let me know, more then happy to help.

Just wanted to say thanks.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I'm glad people are finding the information useful - my hope is that it helps inspire others to start playing with some of this stuff. None of this would be possible without the backbone of the XDA community.

For the time being, the best way to output a movie to a TV is to us a video player that allows software decoding. The supplied Mobo Player with the ROM does so, and it eliminates the skippy/laggy problem.

The more I learn about Android, the less I feel that this issue can actually be addressed and conquered. ( though, i'll throw my weight against an impossible task until I reach that conclusion, which is usually longer then sense says to do so. )

The amount of native use that Android makes of the GPU is I think where part or most of the issue resides. The fact that both screens are active (phone and TV) and the phone screen remains fully functional and interactive means that GPU cycles are reserved for system use, above and beyond what's running on it.

I am starting to think the device screen redraws are going to be a big hurdle, and writing a whole sub-routine that tells Android it isn't allowed to use the GPU for system functions if the TV-out is active is admittedly far beyond my skill level, both now and for any reasonable time in the future.

I could probably muck my way through most of the bluetooth drivers if they end up needing a severe overhaul, but basically re-writing how Android works back to 1.0 and prior is beyond most people's abilities, likely beyond any one persons ability. ( without turning their back on life itself for a wacked out amount of time, anyways )

I really hope that's not the ultimate answer I find while looking, because that would be unfortunate.

A lot of the graphics work I just did in the ROM will give me more information on how the GPU is being used by Android natively, which i'm continually soaking up to lead me into the kernel work on manipulating the CPU/GPU and RAM.

I just finished that big graphics push, and wrapped up a fresh installer package. It's booted and running on one of my devices now, couldn't find any glaring issues on the first quick overview.

I'll be putting it through it's paces tomorrow and making a list of the things I have to attend to, and adding it to the short list of things to finish. I won't be home for the day, so won't get any work done at a pc, but i'm glad I got it field-test ready for the morning ( oh...it is morning :o ).

Okay, I actually have to do stuff out in the world tomorrow, but i'll be back at it tomorrow night and should have most of it wrapped up by the end of the weekend with one last push.

We're in the home stretch now, it's getting close.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nldroid:
I don't know what you're changing but did you check if it was doable with graphicsmagick (or imagemagick). You can doa lot from the command line with those tools..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I can't express how much imagemagic simplified the process. I'd only be half as far without it.

Changing hues on .9.png graphics is much, much more swiftly done then the tedious preservation of borders with photoshop. Also, a lot of files are more easily edited at the command line without opening it up and breaking it's structure. I converted what I could to RGB, but some things need to stay indexed or greyscaled.

I appreciate the tip, though, and can emphatically support your recommendation for anyone else getting into bulk graphis editing.

I think I'm more or less done on graphics for the time being, and can turn my attentions back to the rest of the ROM.

I'll try to swing through periodically during the day on the mobile, but will be back tonight for sure.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mulder0990:
I have to say a big THANK YOU! for all the work that you have put into this ROM. With all the different Phones that my wife and I have had since I have been on XDA, I have to say that this was the easiest thread to get through.

I flashed my phone with this ROM last night and have not had a lot of time to play with it. I just finished reading the whole thread and wanted to let you know some of my findings.

There were mentions of redraw issues with the ROM. I had many problems with the same issues on the stock ROM. I have had the phone for over a month and I found the issues strange. The stock ROM had the Google search bar show up like it was in landscape mode at least once a day after turning the screen back on. The issue with a blank screen was a reoccurring problem that was a big pain to me. So far, I have not had either of these issues on your ROM.

I am on AT&T. (I would rather be back on Tmo, but it is something out of my hands). I the only data letters I get are G and 2G. There is no E at all. I don't know if that is a ROM issue or if these are what are supposed to be displayed.

I was wondering if you would be able to include AT&T apn settings into your 1.1 release.

Thank you for all of your hard work. I look forward to the 1.1 release.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Thanks for the input, i'm glad you're enjoying it!

I don't see any reason why I can't script an update-patch you could apply that sets your network settings, and you'll also need a different gps configuration file because the one for this ROM is set for T-Mobile, and you can't use their SUPL server.

If you can find the settings you need, then I could write the update, but I don't know what they are - I have a T-Mo contract on this phone, and a verizon contract on a dumb phone, and that's all I got.

The info is probably floating around here on XDA come to think of it, but i'm waiting for the icing on a gingerbread house to dry so we can put the roof on, then gonna spend the rest of the night with my lady.

I'll jump back on this tomorrow afternoon with a list of things to work out, and then once we push 1.1 out the door we can look at making patches for other network providers.

If people drop different network provider settings in the thread, i'll gladly make patches to the ROM to support them.

Catch you all later!

Love the rom once again. I just wanted to know if we could get a full screen webbrowser cause I find the stock browser fine for my needs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Micoman:
I wonder what full screen web browser you need, but if you want to view a web page as non-mobile view there is an option in web browser (uncheck mobile view). Another way is you can change the UAstring of the browser from mobile to desktop by typing about:debug in the address bar. This will enable debugging option of the stock browser and you will see the UAstring selection.
