Anything I can do to get better signal? bulletproof 1.1 had a wayyyyyy stronger signal than this rom. is it the radio or ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Sense does not show true signal where AOSP does
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
...wasn't correcting you on the file name... Obviously it can be whatever you name it. I was suggesting for the new guy that after fastboot flash comes boot, not kernel. If he typed the command you posted he'd have gotten an error and been back asking about it.

No offense intended.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
There are two methods for S-OFF. Revolutionary and Juopunutbear. One requires an hboot that's one of a certain group of hboot versions IIRC and the other requires you short out an electrical connection. Both of course require the phone be USB connected to the PC.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
Really? that Juopunutbear requires you to short out a connection? thats what touching the paperclip to something does? Holy crap did I get lucky having the right HBoot version I s=off'd easy as pah with revolutionary . I dont think Id like having to short out a circuit :/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wjcarpenter:
It's not so much shorting out a connection as it is pressing an invisible button. They put the contacts there so those with Secrit and Anchent Know-how can do it, but there is no actual button.

So, as they say, press on! :-)

I'm working on source stabilization ,as microphone ATM isn't working properly in hangout and gtalk video chat. We were using a pre built audioflinger in alpha2 that was working (but that's ugly hack), but as video recording and voice search does work with alpha3 without that hack we only noticed this bug's return after release.luckily I've just found a way to build stuff from source that work with old hw audio blobs. This will take some time,as its a change in framework, not only in doubleshot device tree.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Alpha3 runs amazingly well.

Been testing a slightly tweaked version sent to me by a friend I know, this rom is really impressive.

Unsure, but potentially the tv out kernel is swallowing battery, but nothing definitive to back that.

Thank you TeamDS

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
for me tv out kernel is running well, no "swallowing" intercepted.

Hopefully Firerat can show up with his patches, when he feels so. Soon CM repos will be open, so it might catalize the process, tho frameworks are already open so a patch is easy to get done. But maybe we can get along fine without that too, if he decided to remain hidden with those "slight tweaks".
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Cool. I'm not sure if he's hiding. He possibly is waiting for the repos etc. Maybe not though, as he hasn't spent much time with this rom from what he tells me. But he sent me something to test for him which surprised me with nice system/data optimization & video & call recording properly embedded. So far no issues.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
i wouldn't mess with partition resizing in official cm9, but the other two patches are quite nicely fitting into official cm9 features we plan to integrate. (Tho' personally i think 1080p is overrated on phones as on most phones it records in quite poor bitrate, 720p often looks better, but as the phone's default firmware is capable of doing it, that'd be superb to have)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Cool.

Yeah the partitioning is not part of the rom/cm9. It's a separate flashable which sets the phones partition before flashing the rom (or any rom for that matter) - it's not integrated into the rom build if that's what you thought :D. (It's simply just squeezing the best out of our machines internal storage.)

True say about 1080p, unless on like a Sammy s2/s3 as I've witnessed HQ footage on s2 and its stunning on those devices (even in low light), perhaps not quite so stunning on our DS, probably true.

Thanks a lot for the alpha3 ROM and the latest kernel. Everything work great here!

Also wanted to say that UNDERVOLTING apparently works fine - I used "3c System Tuner" to do that.

I only have one question: Could it be that the second core is always on? At least that's what System Tuner tells me. It also tells me that the second core ignores the minimum MHz... I need to set it to 384 because 192 will occasionally give FCs - but seems like the second core will idle at 192 MHz (as I said, it's always online) whereas the first core will correctly idle at 384 MHz. Deep sleep works correctly, though, so it's not a big problem.

So far, great work, keep it up!!

Stefan
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Intrigued enough to trial myself.

I found similar findings.

Set to conservative @ 192min/810max in ICS performance/processor page.

When running the 3c app - I can see cpu1 going above and beyond this set threshold of 810 (3c correctly mapped the settings I had set in native ICS).... video to illustrate this attached.

Clearly the native ICS Performance processor screen shows the processor pretty much maxing out at 810... seems normal considering the app in the background is recording my screen realtime (hence this video).

However the 3c app shows the cpu usage as otherwise.

But perhaps this is normal behaviour for the 2nd core - or perhaps the 3c app is reading cpu incorrectly. Either way worth pointing out to TeamDS for clarification :o

1728mHz has always crashed on me with Zombie Dog's kernels. 1674 tends to be stable.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] edwardng:
Is it necessary?

Sorry for asking another noob question... why do we need to s-off when we can use it on s-on unlocked? :confused:

May be the software couldn't support underclock for dual core but a single core...

But I think tbalden can enlighten us and answer ur question "Could it be that the second core is always on?" ....and push us to another great state of power efficiency
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
How do you have 1080 on this rom ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seidler2547:
My experience with System Tuner has alwyas been very positive, and with alpha2 the behaviour was as expected - second core mostly offline and only online when load required it. But still the battery performance is superb with this ROM, here are two screenshots, one is alpha2 and the other alpha3, and apha3 is much more consistent and lower in power usage when idle. It took me a day to the the low usage over this 1h period in alpha2, whereas the alpha3 had this usage within the first 2h of idle ever.

Stefan
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Yeah, what he said. All a button is, is a switch. All a switch is, is a pair of metal contacts touching. just like a wire. In electrical terms, it is called shorting, but you can call it switch pressing of an invisible button, or shunting, or bypassing. In the end, wjcarpenter is right, it's no different than pressing a button. Just the button isn't there.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
New kernel uses a kernel space multicore mechanism inherited from faux123's patch found in aosp branch of intervigils pyramid kernel tree, which makes a difference when core is on and off. Second CPU is off when screen is off. Otherwise it will be on. Energy efficiency is good. I wouldn't worry.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cerwidwen:
Not sure if anyone answered this yet, as I am too lazy to read too much, so...

Plug in phone, open device manager, and change your MyTouch 4G Slide to USB mass storage device by 'Update driver>browse>let me pick, etc....' Win 7 asks for a restart, when you come back, it recognizes, then installs, then all is good.

Now I have sweet USB mass storage rather than the awkward MTP. I guess they both achieve the same job, but I prefer USB mass storage

I'm using alpha 3 & updated kernel [can't find launcher configuration menu]

I was having problem finding the way to configure the homescreen before I updated the kernel. After kernel update (cleared factory & dalvik before kernel flash), on initially opening system settings, the 'launcher' menu was in 'interface'. However, after I opened this once, the next time I went into system settings it was no longer there.

The system settings: interface now only shows 'themes' and 'system' and no longer has a 'launcher' menu.

Where is this 'launcher' configuration menu hidden!!

NOTE: I am using prehome as default launcher, which itself launches Trebuchet

Thanks! (sorry for the newb question)

VERY pleased w this new ROM

Great work by the devs!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
NOTE: I am using prehome as default launcher, which itself launches Trebuchet

this seems something that is related. if you go stock launcher, i think you might have your menu item back. worth a try
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
YES!

This worked. Note: when prehome was installed (but not selected as default, and there was no default launcher) the menu under System Settings: Interface: Launcher became missing/hidden.

However, when I restored Trebuchet as the default launcher, the System Settings: Interface: Launcher menu became visible again.

Thanks, Tbalden. Also, fantastic work on this ROM, a superclean ROM for this device, and is nearly perfect. Your work is highly appreciated!!

Holy crud ..... CM9 where you been all my doubleshots life . 1day 5 hrs and 73% left? O.O
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] infernodemon2005:
I'm loving this rom. My only issue is the battery drain but it's not enough to keep me away from it. Can't wait for an update.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
Did you calibrate the battery? See the post above yours . Im getting 73% after 1 day 5 hrs . For anyone that doesnt know how to calibrate the battery

1) Charge your device to 100 percent unplug and wipe battery stats

2) Run the device down to 1% then recharge to 100% WITH THE DEVICE POWERED DOWN

3) repeat step 2) and you're done.

Hope this helps
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] infernodemon2005:
Not sure how to do that just yet lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
There are apps on the market to calibrate batteries, also you can do it from recovery. I personally never clear the stats and don't notice any difference
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] infernodemon2005:
Thanks for that. Not sure what the best app for it is, but I found and used one. It was a little off.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] infernodemon2005:
One more unnoticed bug that probably won't affect many people, when I send a voice message with an app called heytell the media volume gets routed from the main speaker to the earpiece until I place a call then it goes back. A minor annoyance since I use accessibility but no big deal.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
Yea... I've heard it doesn't do anything to erase the stats. But Ill tell ya I went from roughly 24 hours to 1 day 13 hours with 69% battery left with 47 mins of talk time. which is a MARKED increase in battery life. Did erasing the stats help? maybe , maybe not but it DEFINITELY didn't hurt.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
But you also have to look at usage, I have a shift that will stay charged for 6 days if I don't use it much, but the second I really start using it is when the battery drains. So what gets one person great battery life might not get the next person the same results, but cm9 has proven to have amazing battery life while in sleep mode still usage is about the same
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
Yes , ofcourse you are correct. But my usage is pretty consistent so that's what I'm comparing to. I know what I get will vastly differ from someone else given the fact some leave things like BT WIFI GPS on and some don't . But I am again seeing a MARKED improvement in what " I " was getting with comparable usage. I just love this rom. Sense is cool too but I've never been a huge sense fan. On most all my devices I've gone with AOSP roms.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I'm no fan of either and don't like one more than the other, I just prefer them on different devices. But ICS really blew me away, I usually run Sense on my sliders and AOSP on my all touch phones AOSP will always have better battery than Sense and the wasn't the comparison at all lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
Oh yea , but I was comparing CM9 first few days before I calibrated the battery to CM9 after calibration. Sense is quite the battery hog . But I always dug AOSP though. I really hated removing all the bloatware and stuff I didn't use like wifi calling , I called T-mobile and contrary to what I've heard on here it DOES use plan minutes and basically just supplements regular signal if you don't get good reception in you're area. Regardless , at the end of the day I suppose i just comes down to personal preference.

Why do you prefer sense for sliders?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Its really hard to say why I like Sense on slider phones. Like I could not wait to flash cm on my hero and evo and ran aosp only on them devices but when I got my shift I think I got partial to Sense because of the dedicated smiley key, and the camera was just so much better with Sense. Now I'm not totally agaist aosp for my doubleshot I have a nand of cm9 with the updated kernel for cam fix ect. And its pictures are actually about the same quality as what Sense would take I don't know why its not my daily, I just find myself having to test tons for Sense so I think that's why I'm so partial to it now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
Yea , I hear ya . That's one thing I do miss is the excellent camera on sense rom's with all the settings and things like panoramic shot n such. But I suppose I'll have to eat my hat on that one unless someone can port a sense camera to CM9 but I don't think it works that way on a Pure AOSP rom. I know it can be done on those sense / aosp hybrids But CM9 is not that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
For what you want htc stench camera application? AOSP has perfectly good panoramic mode. The menu where you choose between still and video -- the third entry is panorama. And the thing's got more settings than you can shake a stick at, plus post processing in the gallery application. AOSP > stench.

kornyone, TBalden : you guys are awesome! Just tried this ROM - my first ever Android Rom and that too ICS! Thanks a lot!!

I have yet to play around with this, but one of the first things I noticed was the signal icon at the top - it used to show 4G, but now it shows H. Now I know how T-mo 4G is not true 4G and all, so that might be the reason why it shows H - Am I correct?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] okeeblow:
Yep, the H is for HSPA, T-Mobile's 4G wireless standard.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
To be blunt about it, if T-Mobile's isn't "true 4G" then neither is anything from anyone else in North America. The LTE and WiMax offerings don't measure up to the original 4G spec any better than T-Mobile's HSPA+ does. I do know that on T-Mobile here in Atlanta, I often get speeds just as fast as AT&T or Verizon LTE devices, and considerably faster than Sprint's WiMax phones.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eismcsquare:
I don't disagree. I just tried to choose my words carefully - asking "Why it's not showing 4G?" would have gotten the familiar "Because IT IS NOT!!".
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] DarkenFable:
Anyone have any ideas about this? Just keep getting cannot connect to camera. I'm s-on, tried reflashing, made sure that I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and system. Flashed the rom then fastboot flashed the kerneel. Getting desperate I need my camera lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seidler2547:
Yes, panorama mode is fine on AOSP but what I really missed lately was the long exposure mode. With the HTC camera you can take excellent deep night shots, with AOSP you just get a black picture.

I'm having the exact same problem. Oddly this is my second MT4Gs and is an insurance replacement. Never had this issue with my original. I'm S-OFF and unlocked. I've tried just about everything to get this working. Flashed kernels through both clockwork (newest version) and fastboot and still can't get my camera going. Works fine in stock. I also tried Miktouch and it works there (as I expected it would). I'm just assuming it is something with the ICS kernel. :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
It's related to sensation libs , in my theory.some very rare devices just doesn't seem to work with sensation blobs,which we must use,as there's no other ics libs that are normally compatible .

This may or may not be of any help, but I know there are at least two different hardware camera sensors used in our phone (depending on the hw version) and I'm not sure how many hardware revisions there are.

Is there a common link between hardware revisions and camera failures?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] totaldrk62:
I can find out what version both my new and old MT4G have if it will be of any help. I still have the older MT4G with the camera that works with ICS. I just haven't sent it in yet.

Can you folks whose camera is not working at all with this rom try to flash this kernel and libs package from cwm? (if on s-on as a second step, please "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the boot.img file found in the zip)

http://d-h.st/RiK

Its a kernel with a few more sensore drivers plus chromatix libraries that are for those. (Doubleshot default kernel and rom contains these additional sensors over imx105) Im not sure if this can help, but worth a try!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] totaldrk62:
That's a negative ghost rider. I flashed through CWM and fastboot for (****s and giggles) with the same results. I assume reflashing the rom would overwrite these changes?
