Is it just me or is CM9.1 stable up on get.cm? :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
Official CM 9.1.0

Ohhai!

I don't have release notes for it yet, and I have not updated the OP.. .but....

HTC Doubleshot has reached inclusion in the latest CyanogenMod 9 Release of 9.1.0! This marks the first time Doubleshot has been included in a major release, and is a milestone for the device. All previous releases have been "Self Kangs" or "Alphas" which I baked. This is the real thing :)

Grab your copy from Get.CM -- http://get.cm/?device=doubleshot&type=stable

Make sure you get the 9.1.0 release. The 9.0.0 release is mislabeled.

More to come!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Have the issues in the bug tracker been addressed?

Release notes would definitely be nice.

I will do a full wipe and flash, just to be sure there is no errors on my end
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
wiped cache, wiped dalvik, installed 9.1.0 (over alpha 6)

working good so far, also seems a bit more peppy.

New bug? Touch screen stops working in 9.1

About an hour after booting into CM 9.1, the touch screen stops working on my MT4GS. All of the buttons work but touchscreen support gradually dies.

All of a sudden, touchscreen responsiveness will become intermittent... and then gradually it's completely unresponsive.

To fix, I have to pull the battery and reboot.

I don't know if this is related to the 9.1 version released today, but it just happened for the 3rd time since I installed it. This never happened with Alpha 5 or Alpha 6.

Anyone else experience this bug?

Everything else with the new release seems to be fine though... GREAT JOB!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jeffakajeff:
Half a day in and no issues

Here
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Never mind, I don't think bug tracker issues were addressed. Kernel is still the same. Seems to be the upstream changes from CM merged in
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jeffakajeff:
I'm not getting that horrible battery drain
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
How's the accuracy? The meter stays the same or reads correctly after reboots?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
No issues so far here. Haven't tested battery out yet, but I'll report back after today.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Definitely still getting a battery drain here. Only been off the charger for 2.5 hours, and I'm already down to 70% on stock battery

Phone has been used for 13 minutes

I'm really thinking about switching back to good 'ol Alpha 5 or Inquisition. The battery life has been horrendous on anything Alpha 6 and up. Including flashing the old kernel over A6

Oddly, I have also lost my screen lock sounds again...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jeffakajeff:
Don't know why that posted twice....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Is there anything in particular that you wiped before flashing?

I want to replicate your results. I will try flashing again tonight

I just did a factory reset/wipe
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jeffakajeff:
That's all I did, not from manager
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eparico:
Seems the battery drain has gotten worse with the most recent update. I'm down to 76% (7H, 22M) and my screen uptime is a little more than 13 mins. I have a Hyperion 3500 mA battery that usually lasts a lot longer even with CM9A6. WiFi, BT, Data, etc. is always turned on for my phone.

Did a clean wipe last night with everything, wiped my flash card as well. Phone is working good so far other than the battery drain.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
Do you do this?

delete your cache

wipe/factory reset

format cache

format data

format system

wipe dalvik cache

flash ROM

Reboot

Wait at least 5 minutes then reboot

Set up phone

try that in that order if you don't and post your results. Could also be a bad download.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I will try and report back. My battery life is terrible how it is now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah I was losing about 2% per minute last night. I literally watched it go from 52% down to 48% in 2 minutes. Went back to the good ol stable Alpha 5
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
wooohoooo can't wait for the dl to finish!!!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] aawillma:
Well it appears as though all of the bug reports and thread posts were utterly ignored and they went and released a "stable" CM9 with the problem kernel. Maybe my definition of stable is different but when a good chunk (half?) of users are experiencing battery life that is decreased by more than half from a previous version then something is wrong! That is not "stable" my friends.

Lucky for us we have a dev that listens to the people, and accommodates for them.

Courtesy of XMC from his Paranoid Android thread:

Flashable A5 kernel for ICS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I really don't know how kornyone can call this release a stable, especially considering the glaring bugs it has. I tested sound quality as well. DSP manager still makes all music sound like crap. Very bass heavy and muddy. And if the phone is in use while listening, the music clicks and skips. All of these problems are still present after a full wipe

Did he even know look through the bugs in the bug tracker???

As a group, we've spent a lot of time testing and making sure what works and doesn't work.

Apparently his wife is using the Doubleshot now. I'm surprised how the battery life issue hasn't been brought to his attention...

CM has been nothing but trouble for me lately :(

I'm going to give the dev the benefit of the doubt and flash fresh one more time. Waiting for everything to settle, rebooting, and manually wiping every little bit away.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
The comments are getting pretty disrespectful; everyone calm down. They're doing this for free. Reporting bugs and complaining are two different things.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] arrrghhh:
This.

Plus, keep in mind... what some consider "stable" is not what everyone else considers "stable".

To me, stability means the base functions work. Stability to me has nothing to do with battery life, playing music, none of it.

So keep that in mind - everyone has a different standard of what is considered a 'stable' release - and as I'm sure a lot have realized, what devs consider stable is very different from what users consider stable.

Honestly, end-users have a choice - either help triage and track bugs, or patiently wait for them to be fixed on their own. Griping endlessly about how this dev or that dev doesn't know what they're doing doesn't help anybody - the dev, or the end-users.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me. However, lets keep this thread on-topic and civil.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
^^^^^ just for the record my post was not being disrespectful (I don't know if that post encompassed me). I was simply highlighting problems that still have not been fixed in the latest release. Please delete my post if you think it's inappropriate. Go ahead and delete this one anyway, it's off topic.

But Cyanogen himself has said that the team prides themselves on having a capable, stable, and "mom friendly" rom. Having your phone die within hours is not mom friendly stable in my opinion.

And his own wife is using the phone as well, so I'm not sure if she deals with it, or hasn't encountered the issues yet.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] arrrghhh:
Your device is not under official CM support.

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices

So while your point might be valid, you're quoting a group/an individual who does not work on nor supports your device.

In other words, it's up to the (non-CM) community to support your device - sometimes that works out great, other times not so much.

Until the Doubleshot gets an official ICS build from the manufacturer, you're probably not going to reach the kind of stability you are looking for. Good luck.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] aawillma:
Yes it is supported. From the page you linked I see this: "Note: Considering the rate at which we welcome new devices into CyanogenMod, it is frequent for this list to be incomplete. For a comprehensive list of builds and devices supported by CM, including those that still don’t have stable release versions, visit our download site at http://get.cm/"

That website is where our device is located, and where this "stable" build got released. I fully understand that plenty of people build CM from source for random devices, or port to unsuppoted devices from supported ones. If that's what we were talking about then you would be correct but it's not. Our device is listed, and the release was listed as stable. Most of us have used CM for multiple phones and turn to it because we are familiar with the consistency of quality. Many of us, myself included, have donated to the project because the quality is so top-notch and reliable. The alpha builds were full of flaws and that was fine - they are alpha! It seems like false advertising to list the build as stable when nothing noticeable has changed from the flawed alphas. I read these threads so that I can take other people's experiences to heart before deciding to flash something new (I am S-ON, it's a bit of a pain). The posts were not meant to be disrespectful, they were meant as a warning to people who are curious about this new build's functionality.

What are these threads for if not to report bugs, report personal experiences with roms, and offer workarounds (like the kernel I posted)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Is this considered good or bad battery life?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] arrrghhh:
I'm going to break your post down, and probably bow out after this - I am the mod for this forum, so I like to try and keep up on what's going on - but I do NOT own the device, so I don't really do a very good job of keeping up with development on the device. Apologies.

Well, I guess it does have official support... apologies.

So the threads are obviously for reporting bugs, offering workarounds, etc - of course.

However, I just saw a lot of complaints, and no one posting logs, details, or anything - just that it's simply awful and should not be considered stable.

I merely wanted to note that everyone's definition of 'stable' is different. Perhaps you feel it should still be a nightly, but someone on the CM team felt it was good enough to be 'stable'.

Regardless, please continue to report bugs and provide constructive criticism. If you have a bug, post logs or detail on it - I just saw a lot of griping, and I did not see a lot of attempts to actually help the developers resolve the issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
I hope the devs understand that a few of us are quite happy to have something new and shiny to play with. Very happy actually.

Thank you devs!!!

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

What kernel are you using. And what performance settings please?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
I would consider that good. Do you have a screen on time?

Edit: looks like you left it on standby for 11h. Lol I wouldn't know, my phone usually can last up to 17h from 100 to 15 with me texting and talking all day. Haven't really left it on standby though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
It was in stanby. Anyway the drain was horid so I switched to sweet a5
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jeffakajeff:
Left everything as is
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Haven't had too bad battery life... I listen to Pandora 4+ hours everyday so that takes its toll too.

::Respect::
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Are you getting that with the stock battery???
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Anker battery. I'm using the stock battery now tho and doesn't seem to be "draining" either... Idk man screen doesn't seem to be the hog at least.

::Respect::
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Narhim:
Well... 30s = 1-2% of my 1800mAh mugen with listening to music and writing this post (3G on) so I'd say it got worse... Will be switching to kernel 5 as soon as I get home today...

Seriously hoping for a qwertz slider nexus soon :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Narhim:
Dropped to 53% since my first post... Dlded kernel 5 and flashed it, drain seems to have stopped... :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Narhim:
Well dropped to 12% even with a kernel 5... That makes it 88% less in round 5 hours... Which is unacceptable. Reverting to alpha 5 :-\
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] justngo:
Is there a link to get alpha5? I started using CM9 at alpha6 and would like to try alpha5 to see how much longer the battery would last for me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Its in a5
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
All their builds are on ROM manager. But the gimmick is you have to pay for the premium app to download them which is bull sh*t. I have the premium version for cm nightlies but its bad when their most stable release is hidden behind someone that wants to get rich off this android stuff
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] aawillma:
Or you could just go to the directory of the download site?

http://www.jeago.com/doubleshot/

That has alpha 3-6. Alphas 1 and 2 are on get.cm so that makes all of them.

I don't think that's very hidden ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
My experience with the 9.1 release:

Wiped dalvik & cache, flashed rom (over A5.)

Reboot and let sit for half hour.

Power off, placed a brand spanking new Anker (first use), power on.

I gained a very stable 21hours uptime.

Then placed in a heavily used Anker of mine, & it just died with a uptime of ~18 hours.

I'm now going to flash xmc's A5 kernel and see what results the next few battery cycles provide me with.

All in all, everyone complaining I think are a bit too harsh with the 'they haven't ironed out the buglist' - true perhaps, however as a measure of Stability I would certify the latest rom as a valid Release Candidate.

Out of curiosity, has any device ever completely ironed out its respective flaws/bugs by the time of its RC1.... I would presume no, hence the follow up RC's will follow on from pre-existing bugs.

I would deem this particular release the cleanest and smoothest rom for our device to date. I think you guys are expecting way to much and perhaps being too harsh.

Although in turn, it may seem that teamDS have somewhat slowed down on what they are dev'ing for our device, given amongst the team they seem to be dev'ing more heavily for more advanced phones. Which is unfortunate for us. However this rom is still moving forward, so this is a great move by CM to push out this rom.

I'm happy.

(I really just wished Tbaldan would take the tv out facility he ported to provide a flourished output, to completely unleash this device - currently tv out is somewhat unusable for gaming and slingplayer etc.)

P.s. I can vouch for the clicking/intermittent/stuttering music playback upon unlock or phone calls or message tones. I'm sure they can figure this one out.

I've noticed that when in sleep mode the device uses much more battery then A5 (wifi/sync enabled when I'm asleep) the percentage drop is 10's of %, whereas A5 would just drop a few %.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jaxidian:
So now Doubleshot is "officially supported" but this is with 9.1.0 stable. My understanding is that 9.1 is going to be the last CM9 release before official support focuses only on 10.x. Is that correct or am I mistaken?

And if that's correct, does that mean this achievement of gaining status as "officially supported" won't really matter beyond this one release?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
My vote is still for alpha 5... i can get a day and a half battery on it. What as alpha6 or 9.1, i barely can get one day out of it...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Narhim:
dito... 9.1 might be a bit more stable than alpha 5 but at least with alpha 5 I can use my phone without the fear that when I take a train home after work, my battery will be drained empty just by the phone doing nothing but lying on my table for 8 hours...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] srsaleenstang:
my batt is not tha bad but on another note none of the scanner Apps are working with 9.1 not even google goggles . with 6 alpha scanner apps didnt work but google goggles did.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
So after a fresh flash the proper way, my battery life is marginally usable.

Stock battery, wifi always on, no mobile data, 1hour and 10 mins of screen time, 30 mins of phone calls, and 10 mins of GPS use. It did not last the whole day, but definitely more than I'm used to for this kernel. About 2.5 to 3 hours more than usual

The only things I did differently for this flash was wipe everything including the partition and dalvik cache, installed and let it sit for 5 mins, before touching anything. Then I reboot, and start setting up. I also changed a setting where the phone uses its internal GPS. The GPS usage was markedly reduced. Maybe try that and see if your battery life improves. I noticed before it would constantly be on. Now it's only on at blips of 15 min intervals, for my fancy widget to update
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
I rarely use these but when I do... barcode scanner+ is king. Yeah, it seems that they aren't working properly. I did find a decent one that works well without errors: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=la.droid.qr Also, it seems that a few more will function with the keyboard open for some reason ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
That's right, that another issue i had with anything past alpha 5. scanner apps will not work... definitely sticking with alpha 5, till one of these amazing devs has time to look into these issues. Till then, i really have no complaints with alpha 5, id say it's definitely stable.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
Have you tried using XMC's kernel? The newer kernels have a Camera fix that causes apps like google goggles, or AR apps not to work.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mdneilson:
The scanner in the eBay app works.

Edit: sorry, looks like I was wrong. It worked earlier today:banghead:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
Yes, it was causing tons of lag... just ended up reverting back to a5. I need a reliable phone for my business. So im going to wait and see how the kernel develops before trying it again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
9.1 is rocking hard :D Smooth, and nice. I haven't been on AOSP in a month.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
What about battery life?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31010661&postcount=1946

Check out my post, I list all my findings...

If you have any questions let me know.

I think XMC's kernel is a great solution for the horrid CM battery drain. It just needs a little refinement. Fine dev for sure
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Narhim:
Well, running alpha 5 right now and being on 44% after 14 hours of normal use... So I'd say I stay with it... :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] qayshp:
coming from VI

After putting this on my phone, I told my friend running Virtuous Inquisition (v4.0.2) to try.

Unfortunately, after doing a wipe of data and cache, his doubleshot would only bootloop with the 9.1.0 installed. We restored VI, but would like any ideas for how to resolve this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Is his device S-On? If so are you loading the boot.img for the CM ROM?

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
So far I think this rom is super smooth

But the 2% drain when screen is off then on again is killing me....

So I was thinking of flashing the boot.img from a5 plus the a5 flash able kernel from paranoid rom section.... Think it'll work?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I thanked on accident Xo But yes.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
This ROM flies so fast and so smooth.

I've tried the stock kernel the a5 kernel and xmc's new kernel.

To retain this roms stability with the best battery life, my experience deems the stock kernel a winner (so far.)

A5 gave less battery then stock.

Xmc's new kernel was just too laggy and killed the super buttery smoothness/responsiveness that this rom is.

Just my input based on my trials with all 3 kernels.

For now, very happy with stock cm9 kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lastchancelife:
The new release runs great, and I know everyone is commenting on the battery life, but compared to stock it seems on par. Is anyone else unable to use the face unlock feature? It keeps the "show your face" text. I was looking for a change log from A6 to stable, but I think I may be blind.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Anyone having issues with wifi hotspot? It worked great on A6. The stable version will start then immediately shutdown the wifi tether for me.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I use Barnacle, and it works. But I can't say for the T-Mo one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
I am using the tethering service included in the ROM under the settings screen. Worked fine on A6.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] qayshp:
You're right, he was S-On. We didn't check that because he was already on a non-stock ROM. Thanks! He'll try that when he gets a chance.

This happened to me often in A6, but rebooting the phone fixed it. I haven't run into the problem on 9.1.0 yet, but a reboot should work.

One thing that has been bugging me in all the builds of CM 9 (don't remember if it was an issue in 7) is that "Available networks" under "Mobile network settings" never lists anything.

Also, has anyone successfully used the phone with CM 9.1.0 outside of the US with a non US SIM card? I'm worried that I might need to take my old phone (N1) for my next trip just in case.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
You shouldn't have any trouble with a non-US SIM card. I've used my Doubleshot(s) in Singapore and Australia, and IIRC tbalden is in Europe.

If you have detailed questions about using your Doubleshot overseas, feel free to PM me.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Face unlock and some other apps depending on camera capture (e.g. barcode and QR code scanning) stopped working in A6.

There's an open bug for the QR code issue: http://code.google.com/p/teamds/issues/detail?id=2

I haven't opened a separate one for face unlock because I'm presuming that they have the same underlying cause for now.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I live in London. Have used the phone across Europe and asia without issue.

It's GSM unlocked, so as long as you "unlock" your device, the device will accept pretty much any gsm sim :thumbup:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
Hmmm can't believe it took me this long to figure out that I wasn't getting my messages and phone calls on the cm9.1
