Other camera apps will experience force close too... Plus, my wifi couldn't be turned on (it stucked at 'turning on') after turning it off and reboot(not too sure)...

Im busy with other stuff but, I will try to get back here and upload logcat as soon as possible....

I've been flashing over each alpha iteration with no wipes at all. I have none of the issues that people have been raising.

Great work teamDS.

Seriously impressive how smooth this rom is over stock (oranges & apples yes, but regardless, it's an amazing leap in performance/stability/battery.)

My battery life seems to have gotten worse, managed 2.5 day on a charge but last time it was one.

Gave it an extra charge today so let's see what will happen (8h = 23% so far)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah my battery yesterday was 7 hours off charge and down to 10%. I dunno I got freaked out, but then again I'm using the oem junk battery, so once I get my mind made up on what battery I want for fathers day, then ill judge a ROMS battery life cause once again this oem is junk and is very unpredicatable
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
After upgrading to Alpha 4, I am having issues with the hard-keyboard immediately going to caps lock or alt-lock when trying to use the secondary keys. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem, because it makes typing long messages far more annoying than when I was in Alpha 3.

Also, enjoying the weather widget on lock screen.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eratosthene:
Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but my phone doesn't seem to want to vibrate at all, no matter which options I turn on. Could be a hardware issue I suppose. Can anyone suggest a way to test? I had another mt4gs that I returned for unrelated hardware problems, was running alpha3 on it and would vibrate. Alpha4 from wipe on this one, didn't vibrate on wipe+alpha3 either.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
One thing I have noticed is that my WiFi seems to occasionally drop out, and not want to come back unless I turn it off and then turn it back on.

This can happen when the phone is sitting literally feet away from the router.

EDIT: This has happened twice (that I've noticed) and only when the phone has been asleep (although it's set to keep wifi on during sleep). I've changed that setting, and swapped it back to always, and I'll see if that fixes it.

EDIT2: It just went into deep sleep, and did the same thing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
Mine vibrates all the time
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
I deleted the access point, toggled the WiFi advanced options to something random, then back to what I want, and it seems to be staying connected now.

The only thing I did yesterday night (which was right before this started happening) was switch from USB Storage to MTP (yeah yeah). Could that have caused the issue?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Tamarinde:
So from 8hours 77% I am now at 15hours 70%, lets see if the trend continues.

Hopefully android stabilized now but I still see my cpu throttle up a bit too much(less than before though).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Does anybody know of a tried & tested method of how we can backup/restore the Android Home settings.....

I usually use Mybackup Pro to do this..... although it does backup and attempt to restore - it unfortunately has no effect on this rom!

I remember having a built in option with Nova launcher, however this feature isn't present with Trebuchet.

I ask as I am tempted to reflash alpha4 post fulllll wipe (although I'm having no problems, I'm pedantic enough to want to do a full wipe & reinstall of alpha4.)

Any working suggestions would be much appreciated - my home screen is full of bookmarked folders, emulator game links and lots more stuff which I am not interested in repeating to setup (very laborious.)

I had big love for Mybackup Pro for this, but again it runs with no effect on CM9.

Thanks :thumbup:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jsyi84:
If Nova did the job of restoring your homescreens why not continue using it? I can't speak for Nova but I've had great success using ADW EX across multiple devices and/or ROMS by copying and pasting the TiBackup files and just restoring them when switching roms or even on my other devices. When switching between Undead's RubixSplashed rom, Virtuous and this CM9 roms the only thing I have to "fix" is the phone and calculator shortcuts on my desktop. Simple enough to be able to retain 99% of my homescreen layouts when switching between roms and saves tons of time so it generally takes me less than 30 minutes to restore all 250+ apps via TiBackup, resetup phone settings and restore my call history and sms/mms via MyBackup Pro when switching roms.

****Edit****

Sorry in advance. I realize my reply doesn't even answer the question you asked and is more of an alternative suggestion lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Yep... I want to stay with stock Trebuchet, and would like to back up it's home settings/layout etc & restore once I reflash the rom post wipe.

Thanks anyway.

Anyone else had success with this?

I just want to reiterate you guys have done a great job with this phone. Tky to e1 involved :beer:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I'm pretty sure our phones have 'wireless n' as well as b/g.

Question being is it supported on CM9... I assume it is.

So, how does one achieve 'wireless n' connectivity?

My netgear is broadcasting on both frequencies (b/g & n), where it's broadcasting 'wireless n' signal over the typical 5ghz frequency... however my device doesn't see this 'wireless n' signal.

Can anyone shed some light on what I might need to do to get 'wireless n' connectivity going on the doubleshot.

I know that 'wireless n' is broadcasting as a few people that have come over to my house have been able to see/connect to the 'wireless n' broadcast (which I have assigned a slightly different SSID to - namely with a suffix entitled 'Superfast' in the SSID title.)

Also within the rom...

"Wireless > advanced > Wi-Fi ffrequency band"

The frequency sticks with Auto or 2.4ghz, however does not stick at '5ghz Only'.

Point being, that this may illustrate that 5ghz/'wirless n' may not be working on this rom?

[Let's hope I can be proven wrong :o]

Thanks in advance :o

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seidler2547:
You need to distinguish the terms. 802.11n can operate at 2.4 as well as 5 GHz. It's likely that the MT4GS can do 11.n at 2.4GHz but only at 65 or max 150MBit/s and that it can't do 5GHz.

Stefan
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Agreed, 'wireless n' does operate over 2.4ghz as well as 5ghz.

Probably true also that the MT4GS can't operate at 5ghz frequency. Shame.

Is Stefan's trackpad-wake modded into the Alpha 4 kernel? I am S-ON so I flashed the boot.img that came with Alpha 4 and then I CWM flashed Stefan's .zip but haven't noticed a change. Or is the .zip he created only effective on Alpha 3's kernel? I am thinking of fastboot flashing Stefan's mod but I don't want to bork my Alpha 4.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
it's not in alpha 4. just flash it, should work nicely as Stefan updated ramdisk to be the same as alpha4. Also fastboot flash his boot.img to complete installation

I'm connected to a wireless-n netgear right now. I'm on cm9 alpha 3 and have never had any problems with it on any rom.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
our phone has b/g/n over 2.4ghz but not 5 ghz, it's simple as that.

also, wireless N on phones is limited to something like 75 Mbps or so (dont remember the exact numer)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
My Linksys E3000 router (running Tomato Toastman 1.28 firmware) indicates my MT4GS using 1.63.531.2 based ROM is connecting 802.11n on the 2.4GHz band only, and is connecting at the 72Mbps rate (sitting 2 feet from the router). The phone does not see the SSID on the 5GHz band. My HTC Flyer is the same, I guess because it uses the Snapdragon chipset (though single-core), as well.

AVRCP CM9

I was reading somewhere that CM9 have added AVRCP v1.3 support

for those who dont know AVRCP is the remote control functionality that lets you skip tracks from your bluetooth headset.

Do you know if AVRCP v1.3 is in this ROM?

thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:

I just received a mini Bluetooth keyboard. The plan is to disassemble it and fit it into a SNES controller, to make a Bluetooth SNES pad for the phone.

Unfortunately, while I can get it to pair, I can't type anything into my text editor or Terminal in CM9a4. I can get it to pair with my laptop just fine, and I can type with it there, so the keyboard seems to work. Other people in this thread have reported BT working correctly with the ROM, so I don't think there's a problem there.

I know it's a long shot with the built-in hardware keyboard and all, but has anyone tried to use a Bluetooth keyboard with this ROM?

Is there something simple I'm missing that needs to be turned on or switched in order to take input from a different device? I do have other soft-keyboards installed, and I can select between them, but the new keyboard is not displayed as a separate device in that list.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] the_mentor:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Have you noticed it doing anything funky to your wifi? I think I've noticed that it seems to be disconnecting my wifi when the phone goes into deep sleep (I'm still looking at the logcat output, but it's one of my suspects at this point).

EDIT: I've also switched back from MTP to USB... not that it should make a difference, but I'm trying to establish a trouble-free baseline before I attempt to break things again.

I'm used to having a custom search button on my G2, a cyanogen feature...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] the_mentor:
You can configure a search app by doing a long press of the "genius" button
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Supovitz:
Sorry for the confusion.. But the button was originally a search button, and could be customize to ones liking to open apps or open notification drawer, along those lines.

Seems like the genius button is a perfect candidate for a customizable interface.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jaronm:
so much thanks for your efforts! but i just had one weird thing happen that might help with battery life. I was at around 50% battery after the first calibration using "BatteryCalibration". after a reboot my battery read 12%! Then powered down and pulled my battery and waited a minute. after it went back to 56%?!

I am going to leave it run overnight and see what happens.

Edit:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
It is none of these things. It's definitely dropping wifi when it goes into deep sleep, but not always, just... randomly. I'm not sure why it's doing it, but it's quite odd.

I'm restoring a nandroid of the stock ROM to see if it's happening there as well. I've never noticed it in the past, but anything's possible. May as well try and rule everything out.

FWIW: This is what seems to happen in logcat:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seidler2547:
Hi everyone,

I wanted to comment on a few reported issues:

Battery Percentage/Battery Life:

Please do not comment on these until you've run the ROM for a week, and running means (almost) no reboot, no going into recovery, etc. Anything else you see is just a result of the fact that the battery level cannot (never!) technically be determined correctly, only guessed - the guesses are closer to the actual level when (a) the battery is new-ish (not older than 2years), (b) the phone is kept running normally all the time, (c) you've had at least one discharge below 10% and a full charge (meaning 100% and keep on charger for at least 1h, or use an app which shows the charging mA and wait until they drop below 50mA) and (d) the phone is not exposed to extreme temperatures.

Oh, and while we're at "battery calibration"

don't use those apps or this option in recovery

. Why? Because it's useless. Don't believe me? I hope you believe a major Android developer.

Wifi disconnecting when screen is off:

It had happened to me too a few times, also with the previous alpha, but only very rarely. Maybe it's a kernel driver issue. I usually changed the Wifi sleep settings back and forth and it fixed it AFAICR.

Double keypresses:

Never noticed anything. But I'm sure the debounce time could be increased to prevent this if it's a pressing issue.

Front facing camera:

I tested it with my wife's xperia mini pro, and the FFC there is also a mirror, meaning the rotation is correct and you can't read text. I think it makes sense because if you want to show sth. to your video partner, you switch to the rear cam.

Stefan
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
thanks for feedback.

since my last post on mirror ive tried this on other roms, and your argument is correct. i'll change "it" to 26. :)

Hi,

I have a little question regarding the LINARO optimization for Android ARMv7 devices that already was transmitted to CM9, AOSP and Google as well.

Is there a chance we´ll see the implementation in CM9? The only thing I found on XDA was cdesai saying you guys got it and it might / will? be merged first into the ROM code.

Thanks!

Maybe try changing the keyboard BT master address to the phones BT address?

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Mine did basically that went from 70 to 36 and then back to 56 I think. Then just let it run down to 0 and recharge and it levels out

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

Also I'm sure I'm telling you all something you already know but just in case . I see alot of people wanting the track pad wake . On all alpha's so far the " Back " nav button will wake the phone. just incase anyone hadn't tried it .

Alpha 4 sure is glitchy . I've had a lot of problems. That being said all problems have been solved with a simple reboot. I've only experienced the Couldn't connect with camera error once and again a reboot fixed it .

the only persistent problem is severe battery drain after using the 6 axis app < I think it doesn't go into deep sleep > . But rebooting into recovery and wiping delvik and cache solves this. < Maybe delvik erases something in the app data that prevents deep sleep?> But this problem isn't the rom I don't think.

And Im getting on average 2 days maybe 8 hrs? on the battery which is INCREDIBLE. Although that's only on average an hour or so of talk time < I know , I have no frenz @:~( >
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Here's what I did last night.

I deleted and re-added my network, and then changed the WiFi sleep settings back and forth. I also signed out of talk and killed any background apps that would use data.

I noticed two drops in as many hours. The first one happened sometime during 20 minutes of the phone being idle. The second one happened within 5 minutes of the phone being idle.

Very weird.

Another issue for me, the stock gallery, music player, and google music player from market will not read my media. I have to use third party apps like quickpic and doubletwist to see photos and music. This has been ongoing since pyro ice. I just backed up everything, reformatted sdcard, and copied over only things I wanted to keep and it still happens.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
I don't know if I am the only one with this problem, but when I press the power button to put it to sleep it will either lock up and after a bit go to sleep, lock up and will go off when the screen timeouts, locks up and reboots, or will lag to sleep. I have google play music installed, but that's the only app that I have on there that wasn't in cm9... Maybe it was a bad flash or something...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
No problem here. Maybe try cleaning some app cache from Settings/App.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
Hmm, no such trouble so far. It works as expected here.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
Still no luck. When I take a picture, it sees only the picture I just took. Very strange.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] godbilla:
The only problem I seem to be having is battery life. Phone seems to be constantly warm and draining pretty quick.. anyone else having problems like this? Maybe I had a bad download/install? Otherwise from this the rom is buttery smooth and I love it
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
Hmm I'll try reflashing it then... It's weird though cuz it's only when pressing the power button. if I have the sleep button on the notification bar and put it to sleep using that it goes to sleep fine no problem.

I have that problem too. Yesterday after 4 hours of work my battery went from 100% to like 80% doing the same thing that I do on stock and on stock I would maybe go to 95%.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ibawanzingee:
That's nothing. I don't know if I have a lemon for a phone or what, but every ROM I run seems to FLY through battery life. And when I say "FLY", I mean I'll use 20% battery in 20 minutes. It wasn't until the xmcwildchild ROM v0.3 that my battery was a bit better - enough to make a decent difference - but it's still **** battery life overall. And I've got my phone clocked @ 1080 MHz, so it's basically stock. I just use the interactive governor b/c it's peppy.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Battery Life is kinda bad though
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ibawanzingee:
Wait, you're saying you're down 59% battery life in 48 minutes? DAMN!

I thought my problem stemmed from the time I tried to install a ROM that wasn't meant for my phone, but the phone denied install, so that shouldn't have been an issue. (The ROM was labeled incorrectly, and during the install, the progress bar in recovery got all wonky looking.)

I can't even play "Where's My Water" for 20 minutes without my phone heating up to like 108° F.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Lol yea its kinda bad, it's very stable tho
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
Jesus, my battery isn't that bad. Have you tried wiping battery stats?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Oh yeah I forgot about that lol, i'll do that now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Is that with the stock battery? If so, get an Anker. It's almost as if your battery has a bad cell.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
That's really strange. Use a file manager (Astro, or ES, maybe?) and enable the viewing of "Hidden" files, then make sure there's NO file with the name ".nomedia" inside any of the folders containing your media, especially the root folders and such. A ".nomedia" file automatically prevents these apps from catching content under these folders.

I can't wait to see what else Kornyone and TBalden have for us, hooray for CM9!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Much digging has turned up the fact that the WiFi issue is a bug in 4.0.x itself. For example:

http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/mobile/DJTwAutjsIQ

There are tons more examples if you wanna Google for "android 4.0.4 WiFi sleep".

Is this built from 4.0.4_r1 or 4.0.4_r2.1? Not that I can find a changelog for 2.1, just curious to see if It's mentioned.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Its not a bug in Android, its a bug in your Wifi AP that doesn't support some wifi low power mode properly. When the network adapter in your phone goes into low power mode, the AP is dropping it.

You could work around this with a wake lock. I think there are applications in the market that do nothing except establish a wake lock, you could try one of those.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
It works in gingerbread. It also seems to be widely reported.

EDIT: You're right. Honeycomb introduced this "feature". I understand the need, but users need a way to work around this.

Is there a way that i can set the WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF in wifimanager to 3 by default, or do I need a widget?

May as well state the obvious and say that Google needs to "fix" this. Normal users are not going to be able to hunt this down and will likely get annoyed in a hurry.

EDIT2: Out of curiosity, is this ROM using the Broadcom or HTC bt/WiFi driver?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I remember them saying the kernel isn't using any HTC source. So Broadcom I'd say.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seidler2547:
So I've changed the prebuilt kernel to one that is built by the Android build system. Flashed and it looks good. Is there anything that prevents this from being in the repo?

Also, the proprietary-files.txt needs the audio libs, otherwise it won't build when you start from scratch.
