Alpha 2 out, check original post, kornyone updated changelog. Should be good to flash over Alpha 1. No wipe needed.

But dont forget to flash GAPPS too over it!

And what exactly is 'anything upstream in CM9'?

Just flashed alpha2 + gapps. Runs well - will come back with anything.

Anyone getting the music player issue I detailed earlier?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
So I had another look, and it seems music crashes (for me atleast) because its trying to play tracks which I have never owned.

Scanned through my sdcard anyway, and these tracks of course don't exist there.

Hi all,

We are hard at work on this project still. #TeamDS on Freenode has been picking up activity, it's fun seeing this community get involved. And of course, tbalden has been on a tear -- we could see a v3 kernel before long!

I bought a prepaid Tmobile SIM last night with some minutes/data to continue smoke testing in a more daily way. This should help increase build quality going forward (and I don't have to steal my wife's SIM anymore to test builds, she loves that).

Thanks for the link, but I'd like to remind everybody that this ROM is still in alpha. If you want to be able to report on glitches (which is basically the whole point of an alpha), you really need to keep it stock. Once the ROM has matured, then it will be more appropriate to get into mods.

I could mount and gain access to partition. Still, I formatted the card and I flashed alpha 2.

However, I got encountered same problem just before I wanna download apps from Google Play. Plus, I got hanged in rebooting device that required me to pull out the battery...

Am I the only one? *just wanna figure out is it microsd corruption? or what*

Edited: I can mount it again

I can read the card from my laptop with reader card

Put it back and boot into clockwork recovery and fix permission

Here is the last_kmsg
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
Proprietary files

The properietary-files.txt file has not been updated in a week or so. TBalden and I have both altered/updated/adjusted blobs (proprietary files) to fix issues, and it's a work in progress.

That's why the vendor tree is available. You won't extract the right blobs using extract-files.sh/proprietary-files.txt right now from ANY phone (we are using blobs from Sensation ICS leaks, CM7, Sense Doubleshot stock, and possibly others).

It will all be tidied up before long. Any discrepancy should be ignored for now in that one file, and you should review the vendor/proprietary directory, using WEXT branch, which is all current.

Noticed something weird.

Had to actually reboot to send this....

Whatever app I just went to (text boxes) & tried to type with h/w keyboard, then no text was outputted. Instead the keys turned to shortcut keys - e.g. 'c' went to contacts, 'p' took me to music player etc etc.

I don't remember setting this, didn't know it was even possible on this rom. Either way I couldn't (wasn't sure how to) revert back to normal keyboard functionality. (This happened to me once before, but disregarded it, thought id post this weird quirk - orrrr is this a feature - for which I'm unsure how it enabled??)

If you're building from source (no Alpha yet), automatic brightness is available. This was previously disabled as it did not allow keyboard backlights to work properly. Changes upstream and from Pyramid in overlay allowed this to work again. I pushed those changes last night.

I know, not as cool as a v3 kernel, which is just sick :P

(EDIT)

Oh yeah, screen off animation is working too as of these commits.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
That reminds me of a "feature" of the G2. As I recall, the idea was that search+certain keys was a shortcut for launching some apps. The problem was that the keyboard sometimes got into a state where it stuck thinking search was pressed/down so some keys launched random things.

The solution is to press the search key (in a text field or maybe even an ordinary search). IIRC, that clears whatever state is stuck, hopefully saving your sanity.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
AH.... try pressing the "retard" button at the bottom right of the screen :eek:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
Does anyone else here use Face Unlock? I've been having an odd problem and I was wondering if anyone else recognized it.

Sometimes Face Unlock doesn't decide to unlock before my screen timeout is up. If I'm unlucky, the screen gets "stuck off" when this happens. Pressing power (or plugging in a charger) can get the buttons to light up, but the screen doesn't. AFAICT, my phone is still "there" (music is playing, responds to my Bluetooth headset), but I can't get the screen on.

I usually end up rebooting out of frustration. Sadly, I haven't been near my computer when this happens, so no logcat (yet). Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Lol oh ok
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Does this only happen when you'get got a device actively connected via Bluetooth?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
Maybe. It certainly looks like it happens more frequently with Bluetooth - I usually see it during the day when I'm listening to music with my Bluetooth headset. I think I've seen it once or twice with Bluetooth off, but I could easily be mis-remembering that.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seidler2547:
Thanks for the ROM, guys. I would help, but I'll see if there's something to do.

Anyhow, if someone doesn't want to flash the deep sleep fix (e.g. for keeping the Bluetooth as option), just open Terminal Emulator and enter

su
stop bluetoothd
stop hciattach

(confirm root access if asked). That enables deep sleep for me (until reboot, obviously), even with WiFi enabled, but as said before, only after USB connect/disconnect.

To re-enable bluetooth, do

su
start hciattach
start bluetoothd

I guess with SManager one could even create a handy shortcut widget.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
Hmmm interesting, so if one were to use smanager to toggle bluetooth off, then on, then off again, would they have to plug it in AGAIN to enable deep sleep?

The issue that I have with fix 3 is that if I have to reboot for some reason, I'm not always near a computer to do the usb trick, so I'm stuck with high battery drain until I can get to a computer.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
What's the proper way to do the usb fix
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
Connect to pc for a second and unplug. After each reboot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
I think a more important question is this; in the short term, is there anything that we can do, i.e., something that would BREAK USB functionality (like with bluetooth), that would avoid this necessity of plugging in briefly?

With broken USB mass storage, the only thing that USB really offers is ADB, and with working wifi, you don't need USB for ADB.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
mtp works for storage, too. And it does function, and it is tested.

ICS removed usb mass storage. It's there for legacy sake (and disabled in our current 2.6 kernel)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Well, the problem with MTP is that its a horrid abomination. It might as well not work.

In any case, do you suppose there's an answer to the question? Fully killing USB is a good tradeoff for not having to plug in every time the thing reboots.

Edit: I wish ADBFS wasn't so damned slow.... then USB would be totally irrelevant.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
I have to say that work on the 2.6 kernel and issues stemming from it (such as how the USB interface works) is currently on freeze, while we work on migrating to kernel v3. In that kernel, the USB Gadget interface will be different, so we will then evaluate and fix the issues that remain.

Regarding a workaround (something to disable, etc) -- I am unaware of one at this moment, but I can look into it later.

Remember this Alpha is very much a moving target, and things are changing frequently right now.

---

Edit: For my own data copying needs, I agree, mtp sucks for Linux users. So I use adb push/pull, or I use SSHFS -- I run QuickSSHD as root, then on my linux box, mount the / of the phone via sshfs (over wifi).

Also, you could boot into recovery mode, where usb mass storage still exist.

In the end, no promises of whether or not USB Mass Storage will return.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seidler2547:
Ok, I found out that bluetoothd also needs to be stopped/started with hciattach (see my updated previous post).

And I can very much recommend SwiFTP for file transfer from/to PC. Sometimes I even copy files between my Android tablet and the phone using SwiFTP and Ghost Commander (which does FTP very nicely).

I'm s-on root unlocked bootloader etc on the new hboot, but I understand flashing boot.img when flashing a rom. What I don't understand is why almost all roms flash but when its comes on keeps force closing and says android process stopped working etc......

The rom I'm using is pyros ics and it doesn't do that,this is the only rom I got working. But no camera. I want cm9 but it force closes. any help on how I can fix this is very much welcomed.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
