I'm trying to clean up the mess that is the underlying posix environment and would like to add some environment variables to init.rc. Does anyone know if there is a "hook" built into this ROM like some have so that there's a way to add init scripts? I discovered the hard way that direct edits to init.rc are wiped on reboot as the uRAMDISK is unpacked.

So far i'd like to add

export HOME=/data/local

export TERMINFO=/system/etc/terminfo

export TERM=linux

The latter two are to make nano work by default.

Edit: The simplest hack was to make nano a script that runs nano_bin after setting these two env variables. I'm still interested in knowing if there's a way to hook into init, though.

Ah well in that case SneakyPETE is what i want if it's already got a somewhat moderate UV. Thanks.

BTW I've had two bootloops since installing it, but both of them were within a few minutes of modifying the CPU settings in Kernel Tuner (not necessarily up, either). I pulled the battery and restarted and the settings were preserved, and after the reboot there doesn't seem to be any instability. I've settled on 1.2 GHz max, 192 min, ondemand (after reading the benchmark thread i found on XDA where they found it actually beat conservative for battery savings, albeit on a different device) and noop scheduler.

For anyone else struggling to find a live miktouch download, here's the only working link I've found!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GiftigDegen:
Wondering if anyone else is having my same issues, and if so, if there is a fix available. I am running MikTouch and I love it.

I run a lot of apps, because most of the time my phone is how I interact with the world. I use it to keep track of scores, do email, texting, weather, news, radio, all the good stuff. As of four months ago, it has started to give me memory errors. When I go to update an app, it says it has no memory and cannot. So I clear out memory by clearing caches, etc. It updated. Two months ago that stopped working to fix the memory issues. I keep my texts down to about 500 total (I send/receive 2000/week, so this is actually quite a task for me). I moved apps to the SD card, which I have not had to do before. I cleared 400MB internal when I did that, leaving only apps less than 1MB in size on the phone. Within a week and a half it started telling me it was out of memory again. So I would clear out the caches and remove non-essential apps. About the same time, my widgets stopped working. They gave the error "cannot load gadget." I could delete them from the home screen and reload them manually and they would work for a week, but I'd have to do it again. I only run 3 widgets, mind you. Nothing heavy or that require data (two countdown widgets to important dates and a picture slideshow of pictures stored on my SD).

I knew that wiping and reflashing the ROM would help. So today I did that. I wiped the phone, and the caches using CWMod, reflashed MikTouch and loaded it up.

First thing I see is a widget on the homescreen with the same error "cannot load gadget."

I'm still in the process of setting the phone up, going very conservative on the apps I install this time. But I'm wondering if there's something software I can do to fix my memory errors or if my phone's hardware is finally shutting down after two years of continuous use.

Of course, any and all help is really appreciated. If this isn't in the correct place to get help, please point me in the right direction and I will delete this post and recreate it there.

Thank you.

Before you blame the phone hardware, it could be your microSD card is going bad. Gingerbread (the version of Android that is Miktouch) stores some things on the SD card in normal use. If that card has some errors, you're going to get very glitchy operations in nearly everything, even if you think it isn't using the sd card.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GiftigDegen:
That makes sense. So if I remove the SD card, it should fix my problems, yes? :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GiftigDegen:
I took out the SD card and found that my phone ran a lot smoother. Today I bought a new SD and plugged it in. So far so good. In the meantime, I had to use a bunch of apps and the 4g Slide doesn't exactly have a ton on on-device storage. Since putting the SD in, many of my apps have recognized it and allow for me to download data to the card. But these same apps don't offer the option to remove the old data from the internal storage. How would you recommend I clear that out? As is, it says I have about 80mb free. Should I just wipe it clean and fresh start again? Or is there a way using ES File Explorer to find the right folders and clean them out? I don't know enough about what is an important system file vs what is not to confidentally clean it out without some advice.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
You can go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and clear the data for each of the apps. Alternately you could uninstall then reinstall the apps and choose the "Move to SD" option.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GiftigDegen:
K. So, it's been a few weeks later and my phone is beginning to do the exact same things as it was before. I can no longer update apps anymore (error messages all over the place), despite 90% of apps being on the SD card and it saying I have enough space to update everything I'm trying to.

Any other ideas I can try before I shoot this phone? :) >:(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Could be one or more rogue apps that are causing the problem. Many people don't realize how a badly written app can seriously degrade a smartphone. I've encountered that in the past several times. One prominent example is the Facebook app. That monster causes a LOT of problems on a phone and it is very difficult to tame. After deleting it, my phone is far more stable and the battery lasts far longer.

Hi here.

Giving my old (but good) MT4GS to my father-in-law, but he's Polish. I couldn't find any way to change the language in Miktouch, other than spanish and english. Did i miss something?

Thank you :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Based on stock, for T-Mobile (American). I don't imagine there would be other translations available. Sorry.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ninj:
Ok, thank you for the information. I could at least make a 4.4.4 work and it has every language inside. We're good with that :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Mine seems to display just fine...but I have flash 11 installed :confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nlarge:
Same for me... But only get mobile FB and a fee others too
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
So your saying that flash is installed, and in the browser settings is unticked for mobile veiw and even facebook shows as mobile? Mine displays like a computer. Did you fresh install?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nlarge:
Yes fresh install. Mobile view unticked. And FB redirects to mobile. Couple other sites as well
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Not sure, check the market and make sure the latest flash is installed, I can verify it displaying non mobile
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
The browser seems to be screwed. It has nothing to do with Flash (I do have the latest installed). In the browser settings I had Mobile View unchecked but would still get mobile pages. So I went to the UA Settings and set it to Desktop (it was set to Android). Now pages come in as normal, not mobile, but I cannot pinch-zoom. Attempts to pinch-zoom just try to open a new page.

UPDATE: I had to play around with the Debug settings a LOT in order to get it to display and operate correctly.

More UPDATE: Spoke too soon. Lots of things don't display correctly. Gonna have to play with these debug settings to hopefully get it to work correctly. I do appreciate the work that went into this ROM, but I wish the stock browser had been left alone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
heres one more mirror

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I don't think its the unlocked settings of the browser, just check for yourself by pushing another stock browser its the browser all around
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I can't get it to work like the stock browser at all. No combination of settings that I try returns it to stock operation. :(

Otherwise, this ROM is killer, it boots up and runs very quickly and smoothly. Even though I really like the rest of this ROM, I may have to return to my nandroid backup if I can't get the browser to work correctly. I've tried all the alternative browsers but I just don't like them compared to the stock Sense browser. I use Firefox on my home computers, but the Firefox Android version is seriously f'ed up.

I don't know what you mean by pushing another stock browser.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Like take another stock deodex browser and adb push it to system/app.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
That's what I thought. I considered that earlier, but I'm stubborn, I like to try every avenue before I give up. :)

I've played around a bit more, I changed the UA String setting from Android to Manual. The default pages that come up are mobile, even though I have "mobile view" unchecked, but at least now I get the option on some sites to go to the Desktop version. I guess I can live with that, it will be just something to get used to.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nlarge:
Mine works fine mow after switching ua setting

Has anyone tried screen capture?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
I have no idea how to do it with this rom, also are you having random reboots or shut offs?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nlarge:
No but getting a weird text randomly from 47205 that says //BREW:01095caa:03<<<<0<72a1ab4af9bf76a4dfe33e0267bb9563<1bf038a87ff503febcb5553685dc1492<
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I had one or two random reboots but it was because of a bad flash, so i wiped and reflashed and havent had one since

That is a very odd text. Havent seen that yet

I would love to figure out how to screen capture...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JKILO:
Home + power button..its a little buggy right now with the update..it worked on 0.4 and earlier but now I can't get it to take..ill debug and by the end of the week have an update up and the brew messages are from backup assistant. Did a quick google search on them and people have reported calling their provider to get them to stop
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nlarge:
Makes sense... I figured home + power but it was locking the phone
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I got that right after I installed the ROM. Very strange. But, it only happened once.

This ROM is running very nicely. Now that I have the browser sorted out, I've got it "customized" just how I like. Very fast and smooth.

UPDATE: Was the Genius button remapped???? I can't get it to bring up Genius system, it just goes to Google Search. Dammit, I depend on Genius a lot. I wouldn't have flashed this had I known. Is there a way to remap this back to Genius?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I see "search" will be your best friend. I did the remap while on the phone pulled the file and sent it to jkilo, so its very very simple. Also you must not depend on that button much, if your just now noticing
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JKILO:
I can upload it if anyone likes
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Dude, I just flashed the ROM and was still working with it. I went to use the Genius this morning and it isn't there.

No biggie, I restored my nandroid of my previous 1.63.531.2 and have the browser and Genius back as I like.

I do appreciate the work on this, but everyone has different needs and likes.

So to recap ,

Someone confirmed TV out is working

Loggers and CarrierIQ have been removed

This is just a optimized stock rom

But the battery life is only 12hrs or so normal usage

But whats " normal " gps? wifi?

and was this expresso sense? with all the lame icon background ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
So to confirm

Tv out does work

Loggers and iq were removed

Stock apks have been optimized

Battery gets me through a day at work ( the DoubleShot stock battery sucks so bad because its pegged to atleast 1134 Mhz 90% of the time on mine)

Normal to me is flash the phone, dont turn off any settings just enable wifi

Genious button is remaped to search ( thats my iris button)

*Native screen shot isnt playing nice with this ota.

Yes this is mySense, the funky OS i refer to as a usable abortion.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pimppoet:
Im currently running the "MyTouch 4G Slide DoubleShot Lite 1.2.3" rom & wondering how it would compare to this rom.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
It wont compare at all, thats a ROM with most of the stock HTC apps removed, at least thats what i got from the first few posts.

This is a stock rom that has the apks optimized, so it still has all the stock HTC apps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pimppoet:
1st impression so...still to much bloat for my liking...just got done installing the rom...deleting twitter,tmobile bloatware,the newest keylogger called "smith.apk",etc. Also had to use my autostart app to disabled all the extra crap from loading at startup.

Edit: used the stock apk here to fix the browser problem
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
LOL "keylogger"... riiiiiight. the Smith.apk is most likely part of the Smith Micro software, which is in all Android phones and is used by Google and the manufacturers for OTA updates as well as managing data transfers to/from the microSD card.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JKILO:
mmmk ive smali debloated the framework and moved the browser back to original cause there is no way to have it the way you guys prefer with the additional settings unlocked..still working on dspmanager and working to odex it for more optimization..are there any requests? this was originally a project for strapped365 and i to play around with but i've moved on to sense 4.0 for the time being with this as my daily til it works 100% so im going to build the rest of this rom around what "you" want which is the way it should be
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pimppoet:
It wasnt on the original stock rom...I say keylogger due to the whole ciq issue.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
My bad man i got busy with work and figured you were going to be busy as well......
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Perhaps to satisfy most, doing the deodex, move the T-Mobile other apps to \system\apps where people can easily delete what they don't want, add beats/bravia. This would leave it "stock" but allow the user to debloat as they choose. Of course, I'd vote to leave Genius button alone. Is there an app that people could use to select the mapping of the Genius button, so people could choose for themselves what it does? Oh, and I'd leave the stock browser alone. People can always download alternative browsers if they don't want to use the stock one. But some of us depend on the stock browser working a certain way.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Well he is actually odexing the apks, after debloating some smali code in framework. Which will improve performance, as the ROM stand now its deodex.

I would think the apps would be easier to remove from data/app and not system/app.

I think ill make up a flashable for the remap of the Genius to search and he can change it back to stock in the ROM
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I intended to type data/app, thanks for knowing what I meant. :D

Even without tweaking, the 1.63.531.2 stock ROM seems to be a very well-done effort from HTC. I find it very smooth and fast, and the best battery life of any Sense ROM I've ever tried (and I just prefer Sense, it works the way I want). An optional flash for the button reassignment would be excellent.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
All good, I figured you meant data/app, since you knew that their easier to remove that way. I'm with my family so I won't be able to do anything till tomorrow afternoon.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JKILO:
Ill have a 0.6 up today sometime..stock browser, debloated smali in framework tmobile apps in /data/app and I think that's it..been working a bit slow but getting there

Just loaded this ROM, looks extremely reliable thus far. I loved Bulletproof but was getting a bit tired of green (still a great great rom though) Thanks for all your hard work
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I'm in no hurry, I would rather have all the little niceties working well. I'm running the stock 1.63.531.2 right now but your MikTouch version will likely be my daily driver when it is ready, assuming it has normal Genius button action. :)

BTW, once I flash that, could I then just do a /data restore using MyBackup Pro (rooted) and get all my apps and customizations back?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
yep, you can. the only glitch I've found with Mybackup is that sometimes it will fail to restore all my app data, but instead it will take me thru the process of reinstalling all my apps one-by-one from my sdcard, minus the app data.... I haven't figured out why this happens sometimes, and I always choose to back up apks+data. but other than that, Mybackup is a good option, and always seems to work well for other data.

my favorite is doing a nandroid backup, and then doing an advanced data restore thru CWM once I have flashed my new ROM. in a couple threads in general we seem to have found that this works best with Modaco CWM 4.0.0.9.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cwalker29:
Really liking this rom. I haven't had a stable ics rom on this phone yet so I needed a change. This is it!! The only thing that's missing that I use alot is voice input. Like on the keyboard

I use TextT9 and its voice input works great.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cwalker29:
Okay will try thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I read some of the threads about doing a /data restore using recovery. I also noted that people had problems doing it with CWM, but Modaco worked beautifully. I would need to reflash Modaco over my CWM version, but that shouldn't be difficult. I would miss being able to use ROM Manager, but that's not too big of a hassle. I'll probably just use MyBackup Pro this time since it is a rather simple task, going from one stock rom to another that is the same version.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I'll get the genius button today, I might also see if I can do a swipe to remove notifications, but all the smali is different so i have to see where to code it in
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] teangerhofer:
Great work - loved it, but had to go back to my old ROM as I couldn't get my exchange account to work. The permissions page didn't show during setup, and my account would show that the phone was connected but the phone wouldn't download mail.

Also, would love to have the Genious button - especially since the app is on there. Make it thus and I'll be back with a fat donation.

E
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah some life things got in the way of both projects. Got halfway through swipe to remove notifications,then my girls grandpa got pretty bad off. The reason why genius wasn't fully removed was so each user could replace the remap with a simple file edit with root explorer. Also another thing slowing me down is I had a few bugs in my EVO Shift ROM that I had to stomp out before forgetting about them
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
GENIUS.....hit the link in the second post to find your fix! finally got a day to myself so i took a crack at it. i didnt know that button was so useful, i used some assistant from the market thats why i liked genius to be my search key, so i could search and use the siri-alike anywasy its up
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Thanks for the button fix, your time is much appreciated. BTW, what app do you use to ZIP up things? I've found that Android does not like zip files created by 7zip. I use the latest 7zip on Win7, have the zip parameters at the default, so I think it should be a standard zip file. But Android just won't budge on any file I make with it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
i use p7zip and all its extensions. Im runnin linux peppermint two OS so i used android-utility to sign the zip.

how are you going about making the zip? are you just right clicking on the project folder and telling it to compress, so the zip looks like projectx/projextx/system. ect?or are you opening the project folder and selecting all its sub contents like: META-INF,system or data and compressing that way? i have my p7zip sest to default settings also and it took me a few tried to get the script and directories right but after many typos i finally got it
