This ROM has a much newer codebase than the Rubix ROM. Little things like GPS and Bluetooth (among other things) were vastly improved by HTC, and to me, it is a bit more responsive. Like you, I love the look of the ICS ROMS, but I keep coming back to this one. Everything here works like it is supposed to work, with no "you gotta do this to make this work" stuff. Because of the licensing for this phone (it is controlled not only by HTC but by T-Mobile, as well), HTC won't (can't?) release the drivers for it, and there seems to be no interest from HTC or T-Mobile in pursuing an update, so our only choices are stock or stock-based ROMs that fully work or ICS/JB ROMS with problems.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
That said, since this is our most solid choice for the stock ROM experience, I would love see it continue to receive future development. This week was a great week with the camera restriction lifted on our device across multiple ROMs!! Maybe next we could see some Tweaks added in or even that extended power menu option. What other surprises could we add in here to set MikTouch even further apart from the rest? I can dream can't I?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Things I would like to see done with Miktouch are the Leedroid Tweaks added, perhaps. Maybe the HTC widgets from Sense 3.6 (I love the 4x1 weather clock on Sense 3.6/4+ ROMs, though I can replicate it with Fancy Widgets on Miktouch). Because the Beats Audio indicators seem to only work on ICS ROMS right now, it would also be nice if they could be made to work here. While I think Beats Audio is doing something, there is no way to toggle it off/on here so we can know.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Those would be some pretty sweet additions.

-sent from my nothing is broken MikTouch MT4GS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Now THIS is one of the best things about this ROM. Can you get the performance and battery life out of another ROM like this? Running stock kernel (1188max/192min/Interactive/noop) and have Bluetooth always on. Had several long phone conversations, some texting, few photos and uploading them. Using a 1900mAh battery I bought in a shop in Shanghai.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] heart_crafter:
downloading now...

coming back from ICS... camera issue (wired red glare on white/pink objects)

1 question while it's downloading...

does hot-spot work on it?

thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah hot spot should still be functional
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Hotspot works perfectly, I used it several times recently when I was traveling. Since this is a stock-based ROM, all functions work.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
If a couple of you guys have a few and wanna try a kernel......

1.5ghz

Low_cap-level=0 ( no more low battery camera flash warning, can be used till 0% battery)

Smartassv2

Intellidemand

Not much else

...... Send me a pm
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
So far it is working just fine. I have it set for 1512/192/smartassv2/noop, so I'll see how battery life is compared to stock.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Good deal! Your device is very picky that's why I emailed you first. I think I'm going to make minor changes at a time so I don't destroy my source. Like I just added sio and vr schedulers. And I think I'll zip it, copy it in about as many places I can and build from that once I look into what more I can add
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WangChung81:
I'll give the kernel a shot. Why not.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Ok give me a min to upload sneakyPETE haha I was bored when I was in menuconfig so I named it SneakyPETE.... Pm coming
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Not sure what was going on, perhaps the kernel is not allowing deep sleep? But battery use with this kernel was really bad. Just sitting idle with Bluetooth and WiFi connected, battery was dropping like a rock. Started with a 100% battery and within less than 3 hours was down to 60% with no other use of the phone. Compare that to my battery use on the stock kernel (I posted pics showing over 48 hours use). Clocking this kernel at 1512 shouldn't have mattered that much since the phone was sitting idle and should be running at the 192min value most of the time (as confirmed by SetCPU). I went back to the stock kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
It's going into deep sleep just fine. I haven't had an issue with battery that I've noticed. But last night I kinda ran a few hours on fumes, of course not overclocked to the max. I'm using voltage control for the simple fact I feel setCPU is horrid. And the free xda version is so outdated its not funny.

I really wish users wouldn't jump ship so fast. That's one of the reasons I'm calling it quits on this device.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
If you're still interested in a tester let me get a copy buddy. I'll run that badboy for a good 48 hours before I even start to make a judgement.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I already made the links private. No use in keeping them around. No Sense user wants to give it more than 5 minutes so I'm restoring back to aosp and done with all DS projects.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I sure do hate to hear that Strapped. I can only say that I NEVER run anything less than 24 hours and usually 48 or more in a trial mode. As far as I've always been concerned, Sense & AOSP both have their merits and I know that they can't be judged in the same way. And the LAST danmed thing any of us want to see happen around here is for you to lose faith in US. KWIM?

But I can see your point. I'd be pretty frustrated too after putting blood, sweat & tears into something people didn't show enough patience to give a full test to.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I wasn't complaining about your work, just telling you what I experienced. On this ROM with the standard kernel, I'm typically getting 30+ hours of use out of a battery charge. Just the other day I got over 48 hours. I installed this new kernel you offered, wiped cache/dalvik. It runs fine, I'm using the SetCPU 3.0.5 (not the one from the market) simply to make sure the phone is running 1512max/192min/smartassv2/noop. I don't mess with profiles or anything else. After the phone booted and got "rested" with the new kernel, I did a reboot just to make sure everything was nice and settled. Then I let the phone sit as normal, with Bluetooth and WiFi connected. I did receive a few voice calls and did some text messaging, just my normal evening. The phone sits with screen off most of the time. Before I went to bed I checked the battery use and was shocked to see it already down to 60% in such a short period of time. Normally, it would be maybe 95% to 97%. Overnight, sitting on my nightstand, it typically will only drop 2%. I figured at that rate of dropping, the phone would be dead before I awoke the next morning.

Again, not a criticism of your work, just recounting what I experienced.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
All good, this is what happens now when the computer gets fired up and it goes no farther

So yeah.......... Oh well.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
That looks like the CMOS bios logo or something being redrawn. Doesn't look good, whatever it is. :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Thanks Strapped! Been using your OC Kernel since last night with 0 problems at all...Except that my town has no power but I'm pretty sure it's because of the tree that took out the power line and not your kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WangChung81:
I switched to this ROM because it seemed like it was still being supported, and now you're saying it's not going to be supported anymore???

:(

Everything works fine so far for me. Only reason my battery has been "dropping" more than normal is because I'm getting all the apps reinstalled and setup how I like. Only thing I miss is the "CRT power off" animation when the screen turns off. No biggie, but this is an awesome ROM so far.

Hope you change your mind. Don't bone the rest of us because of one guy!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I can confirm that there is no sleep issue with either kernel as far as I can tell. I charged my DS to full last night @ 7pm and when I got up this morning @ 4:30 it was still sitting on 100%. Of course, I do keep mine set on 1026/192 usually but I will try some overclocking today. More details to follow as I gather them.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
OK OK, I'll give the new kernel another try. :p I'm curious to know what caused the battery drain I saw. Only thing I changed was the kernel and OC'd to 1512.

Now, if someone could add OTG to this ROM, it would be perfection. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
So I'm gonna ask what is OTG?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go;)

Now wouldn't THAT be something!!?? :cool:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Looks like some homework for me. Research research research.......Then if I can understand it all a prayer the puter will fire up for another day
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Yes, imagine being able to connect a flash drive or even an external hard drive to your MT4GS and mount it. Some newer phones and especially the tablets have this built in, especially the ones that don't have microSD slots.

Ah, I see that the CM9.1 available does have OTG. But man, I really don't care for CM at all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah I just read and that's a good thing to have I guess. And I'm not saying that in a bad way, cause even if I never used it I would want to show all my friends what my Android could do. I'm reading into some info now fellas
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Yeah, I saw where your 'puter was having an issue getting past the Compaq "introduction" screen and video looping. Do you know if it's the system or could it be just the video card going bad? Neither is too bad to fix but the motherboard is alot more aggravating to replace. If it's the video card I do believe I have one in my "box of many parts" that might just fix you up.

You guys are right about OTG! A VERY handy thing to have! I have it on my GTablet & with one of those tiny small profile & CHEAP 32gb thumbdrives it's an Easy Peezy way to bump up your storage space! It'll run a keyboard, hard drive and most likely a CD or DVD burner with the proper drivers (although I've not looked into that one).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I dunno what's up with it, I guess I'm not as computer smart as I should be :eek:

But could you imagine burning a CD or something ridiculous from an Android device
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
And OTG cables are ridiculously cheap on Monoprice, $1.30. Driver's for a burner might be an issue, but accessing extra storage or keyboards would be awesome. I've even seen people using USB network adapters on their tablets.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] b1ackhawk:
Been running this rom for the last couple weeks on my wifes phone. Been working great, no complaints. I really appreciate the work that has gone into it. I do hope that at some point we get an ICS rom w/ sense that is just as good as this. I'd imagine if there was a stable and functional ICS rom w/ sense (need stock camera app), that everyone would jump on it. Thanks again for the great work on this ROM!:good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Hey a couple of weeks ago I found the pink notification PNG files (for unread messages) in system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk and I changed the colors of the PNGs from pink to ICS blue so now when I have unread messages in this ROM they are not pink which is great. However, the Messaging Widget seems to be on it's own program and if i use the widget, the unread notifications on the widget are still pink. Are there PNGs somwhere I can change for that easily? If not, does someone have a standard version of the HTC messaging widget (with the green notification bubbles) that will work with this ROM?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Most of the widget images are in fusion.apk. Use either m10 tool or virtuous ten studio to decompile fusion and then decode the images in the default one
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I just wanted to give my initial impressions of your Sneaky Pete Kernel at the end of the first 24 hours. Sleep mode seems to be working fine on mine as I put her to bed after a full charge & 8 hours later was still waiting with 100% charge. For this first stage I set the cpu to 1080/192mhz since this is my normal personal settings on any ROM. Along with this I set it to Conservative governor & noop scheduler to set on boot. (I'm checking overclocking in stage 2) Without getting into alot of assumptions on my part since I don't really feel qualified to do so, I feel that this is at LEAST on a par (at 30 hours in) with the original kernel that has no overclocking options.

I'll let these screenshots tell the rest of the tale and you can draw your own conclusions as I'm running stage 2 of my trial.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I don't have "Sneaky Pete", the one I was given is "Saucy". I had to forego using "Saucy" again. I reinstalled it yesterday to give it another chance. I had it set up at 1512/192/Intellidemand/Noop. Like before, it really started sucking down the battery fast. I started with a full charge and with it just sitting idle, but with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected), within a 5 hour period it was down to 35% (only had 2 relatively short phone calls, maybe 30 minutes total, and a few texts). I thought I'd still let it settle in, so I connected it to the charger and went to bed. I awoke this morning to find the phone continuously bootlooping. Not sure when that began during the night. I quickly pulled the battery and did a restore of the before-kernel nandroid. My phone just does not like "Saucy".

Oh, there is one issue with this ROM I've never mentioned. But it is something I've noticed from the beginning but since it wasn't a big problem, I always forgot to mention it. I have brightness set to Auto, and that works great most of the time. However, if I use the camera, it disables Auto and sets brightness at full power. After I use the camera, I have to go into the settings and re-enable Auto, otherwise if I forget then the display will suck up a lot of juice. I know the camera app does automatically override the Auto setting and put the display at full power, but shouldn't it return to the previous setting upon exit? Again, it isn't a big issue, just a quibble.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Saucy and sneakyPETE are the same other than sio and vr. I haven't charged my phone by usb since fathers Day so I dunno about the charge issue. Last run I had music playing for about 4hours straight with 2hours screen on and only lost 40ish%
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
I was wondering what was making my brightness go back up!! That's a start. Is that Tasker app capable of rectifying this? Can we tell it to set brightness to a certain level when camera is closed?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
That is a little goober bug that I've seen on and off since my speedy. Mik had it fixed once, but it keeps coming back. Maybe some leftover tweak code from a tweak never implemented is causing it not sure
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lito99:
I had that bug on another rom albeit I can't exactly remember which. What I did was exit the camera by hitting back and once on the home screen or whatever previous screen, hit back again once or twice, it would go back to normal brightness. Give it a try hopefully that helps
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WangChung81:
Well I ran over a day and a half on a single charge with an Anker battery on this new ROM, so color me impressed. My GPS issues are fixed now too; it looks like it was due to Rubixed being based off the original OEM rom.

Kinda wishing for a full de-pink (mostly just the messaging stuff) but looks like I have a new daily driver now!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Just wait until it settles in good! You won't just be impressed.....you'll be AMAZED!

Honestly, I've never paid attention to the "pink". I don't use Android messaging, I bought Handcent SMS over a year ago and use it for SMS/MMS on every ROM I try. Right now I'm running the CM9.1r8 ROM and that shade of blue that is used everywhere has got to be the ugliest blue I've ever seen. I'd much prefer pink to that. Gotta go find a new skin to rid it of that mess.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Looks like a dead thread with dead links
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
I prefer to use to the stock messaging app also.

To de-pink the messaging more for myself I did the following:

HTCLockscreen.apk from system/apps ( I replaced Lockscreen_bigicon_cal.png, notification_message.png, and notification_missedcall.png with PNGs from an old de-pinked Undead ROM)

com.htc.resources.apk from system/framework (I found three PNGs for unread message notification bubbles and colored them ICS blue. The are common_notification2.png, common_notification_new_on.png, and common_notification_on.png)

That took care of the pink related to messaging except with the Message Widget. Strapped360 posted that to change those we would need to use and M10 editor or Virtuous Ten Studio and he thinks the changes will need to be done in the fusion.apk. I don't know how to use those tools yet so I don't have the widget done but I plan to try to teach myself a little this weekend.

I attached the message bubbles I themed blue if you want to use them. It's NOT a flashable zip. I just uploaded the icons.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Just wanted to let you know that the second stage of my "sneaky" kernel test was pretty good too. I was set at 1350/192mhz. This gave me just over 19 hours with 2.25 hours on bluetooth. 7.5 hours on wifi & just over 3 hours of screen on time although I only had 1 fifteen minute phonecall. I also listened to the complete "Dark Side of the Moon" & "Whitesnake's Greatest Hits". I took these readings when I got down to 16%. Unfortunately, I plugged in my phone at that time & couldn't get valid screenshots. YMMV though as not all DS are created equal. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I wish I knew what caused the bootlooping on my phone, as well as the increased battery drain. BTW, I'm running the CM9.1r8 (with the standard r8 kernel) clocked at 1512/192/Interactive and the battery drain is minimal and it is very stable. So, it isn't the clock speed causing issues for my phone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
It really baffles me too Fuzi. Although I don't think it changes much over the original it does add overclocking along with excellant battery life considering I was working it some during my trial......on MY phone. But like I said, they aren't all created equal. That's another thing that's always baffled me too even though I do understand that ratings are an average on a bell curve. But for you and me to get such different results is kinda shocking. I could see it if it were just minor differences but they seem like they are night & day. I really hate that too since I KNOW what a fan you are of MikTouch as am I. Now I DID have one random reboot during my OC test but it didn't hang or loop.

Now, just as an example looking the other way......when Blue6IX was developing some OC/UV kernels for Bulletproof I tried all 3. And it seemed like most everyone was gravitating to the UV6 kernel because it DID get better battery life. But when I gave it a run, my phone just went into freakin' SPASMS! I just couldn't figure that one out either. It ran great on the UV5 BUT.....

It's just one of those things I suppose but I love to be able to make some sense of it myself.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Previously, Strapped made 3 OC/UV kernels, all clocked at 1.7GHz max, for the Miktouch ROM. I tried them all and could only run the first one, not the subsequent ones. The first one would run well, but I underclocked it down to 1266max. Even then, it would get a random reboot while I was in the middle of something, sometimes a phone call. The other two kernels just wouldn't even boot up for me. BUT! I recently installed the third one he did (called Remix-2) by accident and the durn thing booted and ran just fine, except I got a random reboot while texting. I reverted back to the stock kernel for Miktouch since it gives me decent performance and the excellent battery life.

Now I'm running the CM9.1r8 with the standard r8 kernel and it is running very smoothly, with good battery life so far. I have it set for 1512/192 and haven't had any reboots or other anomalies in the 19 hours it has been running. Maybe it is the more aggressive UV that my phone doesn't like? Who knows? I haven't tried the r8 experimental kernel, which does more aggressive UV, I figure don't mess with what isn't broken. The stock kernel on Miktouch does just fine for me, I have no issues with it, so I'll just leave it alone when I go back to it. Which I will probably do because I miss the camera app on stock, and there are some nitpicky audio issues on CM that I just don't like. And I miss the beauty of Sense.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
It makes me a little sad to say this but I went back to the stock kernel as well. I did get a couple random reboots running just the new kernel with no other changes to my setup. Once was while texting and once when watching Netflix. Both times the phone didn't fully reboot but instead froze in the process. I certainly appreciate all efforts into this ROM and it continues to be my daily driver.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I'm back on Miktouch with the stock kernel. That freeze on reboot would happen to me with every one of the alternate kernels. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm a little glad to hear that yours did it, I was fearing my phone was the only one that did. :)

CM9.1r8 gave me about 22 hours on a charge with my normal use, where Miktouch would give me 28-30. Given that I think Sense, even the ancient MySense 3.0, is just light-years better looking than any AOKP or CM ROM, as well as the camera issue, I'm back on Miktouch, too. It is like an old friend. :cowboy:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
It is nice to have a ROM with all the good stuff working to fall back on. I do like sense as well...even the mySense. If they would give us MySense ICS, I would be totally happy with that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WangChung81:
I got 2 (yes two) days on a full Anker battery charge with light use. Some Maps, FB checking, calls and texts. Two days, 100 to 4 percent. I'll upload my screenshot when I get home.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Archangel22:
Hi all,

Can you recommend if I should get Miktouch or CM9.1 for mytouch slide? I want to do this tomo but I dont know which rom to pick. Both sound similar in battery life, and miktouch seems more stable. What are the pros and cons for both? Are there any screenshots somewhere so I can see what both OS look like? This will be my first attempt at putting a rom on my phone its been almost a yr stock standard now. I didnt want to risk anything cause I heard alot of stuff breaks and bugs with apps or the camera doesnt work etc.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
This is a stock rooted optimized ROM so it will be very familiar to you and everything Stock just works.

The alpha builds of cm are fun. I'm currently running cm9.1 r8 and love it. And just 40 minutes ago I was on AOKP JB.

But if you love Sense this should suite you just fine. Aosp is more of a bone stock look and feel, with not polished widgets,Rosie or anything its all out preformance. Here is a bone stock cm9 screen shot
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Archangel22:
Thanks for that Strapped, is there a link for cm9.1 r8 with instructions on what to do? I found another link for cm9 but it wasnt r8 so Im guessing its less stable?
