Sounds like a bad download. Or something was done out of order (my phone is picky about what order things are wiped and flashed in for some reason). If I were you I would redownload and redo everything with the new download. Also make sure the boot.img is the correct one in the folder. I am S-ON as well and accidentally left an old one when I fastboot flashed it and got stuck at the boot animation screen. Duh, I forgot to extract the new boot.img!

When I flash ROMs I go to recovery, backup, wipe and format everything except SD and then reboot into bootloader/fastboot. Then I fastboot flash the boot.img and reboot into recovery, rewipe everything AGAIN (for no reason), and flash the ROM.

PS. CM9 with my Anker bettery is awesome
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] restopi:
That "rewipe everything AGAIN (for no reason)..." made the difference...im sure there is a reason for it, but for now im glad it worked and was able to boot !!!.... also i made the same mistake in the past of "reusing" a previous boot.img, now i rename the previous one (like boot.img.VI402) before i copy the new one...now to install gapps and see how this baby works

another question, will you restore apps+data (i made backup with Titanium and ROM toolbox previously) or just install the apps one by one? I read somewhere it can give issues restoring the apps+data
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] aawillma:
I usually just wait until I'm on wifi and download essential apps from there. Batch restoring apps on Titanium usually works but I never restore apps+data. The only thing data restore is good for is if you have really complicated settings or a game that doesn't use a login to save stats. I don't have apps like that so I almost never have to do it.

I try to restore apps via Play Store only. The backups are good to have if suddenly the Play Store no longer carries an app (Wimp mobile) or is suddenly not showing as active for your device (someone had a problem recently with Zynga Poker). It's cumbersome to restore 100+ apps but I find I don't need all of them right away and can slowly build them up over the next few days.

Good morning!

Out of curiosity, are you guys (tbalden/Kornyone) still testing the newest build?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
I'd really like to have this with a working camera........:)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
ditto... been holding off next flash for this last build. this should make ICS 100% complete according to the here say.... and just in time for beginning of jb ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I'm pretty sure the next release is coming anytime now. It's been nearly a month since the last one, and maybe we can finally move into the RC pack with the rest of them. Nearly everything I need in a rom has been working for me. In fact I can't think of anything I've missed since I installed CM

Alpha6 posted

Hello,

OP updated with Alpha6. It has a bunch of kernel updates, and some new changes. The goal is to go nightly/RC with stable CM9. Please capture logs. I have setup a bug tracker, I will likely roll it out tomorrow, so we can be a bit more organized about this.

Regarding Jelly Bean/CM10: We will explore this soon. At the moment, we are very close to a stable ICS build, and want to complete this process. If we want a stable Jelly Bean, we should have a stable ICS.

Enjoy :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
silly question but just so I'm sure when you say "please capture logs" you mean logcat right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
logging methods

logcat is preferred, but dmesg is also good depending on the issue at hand.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
I know a few have meantioned they are ready to move straight onto JB but this makes the most sense to me. Especially since some of the framework changes from ICS/JB are closely related like Eclair/GB were... I know drivers are the real issues here but you know what I mean.... it helps when the changes aren't huge version jumps. Appreciate all the hard work here, guy and thanks for the update!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
regarding JB stuff, cm10 is still being merged, so CM9 gives you full CM. Just to mention one thing, CM10 doesnt have the theming engine merged. So in general cm9 for now is better. Also its quite stable. No meaning to rush ahead.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
On the subject of bugs, do you think the camera fixes might help the Face Unlock bug?

My Alpha5 logcats suggested everything was falling apart because the camera (presumably the front-facing one) died, but I'm sure you have a better handle on what's going on.

Separately, I got the Face Unlock bug with the screen staying on today (for the first time). Things were freezing the way they normally do for this bug, so I tried to keep up activity (keyboard open/close, touch screen, touch buttons). With that, I got a frozen screen (though time was advancing and it would rotate with the keyboard), but no other improvement. Sadly, there's no logcat of this as I wasn't near my laptop and I needed my phone to work again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
it might help yes. all stuff that uses preview overlay should work better.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
flashed (cleared cache and dalvik, no wipe), reboot and working great so far!

Anyone experiencing slow sd card write speeds?

I know this was mentioned before, but it seems that it wasn't addressed or solved...

Took me nearly 3 minutes to transfer the new Alpha 6 from my computer to my card (usually takes 30 seconds). Sandisk Class 2. Average write speed was around 500kb/s

It's much slower than I remember
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:

When I open the browser and hit the www key that gets entered, then I type facebook and hit the www again and it auto inserts .com but in tapatalk no matter what its only .com so its working for the most part and much better than opening the browser.

I'm on a fresh alpha 6 install tho with just a few apps+data restored

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
yeah i will check this today i bet.

also its great that the fix for camera (a clean fix, unlike mine lol), is already in the cm official repo

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/f8b211bba7f481c80991aee1f24c9c77e25bade1

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/57e9869b4f9c78aa091fc1ea71137676583ac3d4

if someone builds at home, camera Other Settings should be all fine after a repo sync, tho you might need to clear Camera app data in Manage Apps. :)

Is it switching to MMS APN properly? Or are you using a combined APN or the manual apn switch hack?

JUST tested it out on both HSPA and wifi, both picture messages went through.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Spidey01:
Something has definitely keeping my processor

awake for the past two days and WiFi whenever switched on. The only thing I've seen in OS Monitor to be spiking is Android System (usualy < 5% but it was spiking to at least 30%, regularly). Even across a couple boots. After I killed Android System and rebooted a short bit later, I haven't seen the spikes yet but will be monitoring closely.

Today I killed WiFi when unplugging (I normally do local travel WiFi/GPS/Data on) and still had 100% when I got to work almost an hour later. Settings -> Battery is still saying my processor is running like someone out for a gold rush, and my apps are the same as I had on Virtuous Inquisition, sans a couple games and my banks app (not compatible anymore).

I used stock for a few hours, various senseless ICS builds (wildchild, tbalden). This phones always been a juice sucker compared to my old Glacier on CM7.1, which only was when pulling 'H' signal at times. But so far I've seen a marked difference over Virtuous Inquisition on the Doubleshot. Battery usage was always hefty when in use (default OC to 1.5 Ghz didn't help battery) and I didn't notice any serious gain with clocking back to stock speed or in between, so kept it 1.5.

With this ROM otoh, first day I had it at work: WiFi/GPS/Data on + Bluetooth linked to my tablet via Tapatalk as usual: after 6 hours I was 20% lower than I would've been I should've been after 9 hours. My phone doesn't deep sleep anymore and the apps situation is pretty close to what I had.

I'm going to try some tests over the weekend at WiFi/GPS/Data/Bluetooth off and idle to see if it will deep sleep. If it does I will try battery calibration.

Wiping and going from fresh with nothing installed might be good for testing what I'm seeing, following a progressive restore of apps might be able to pin point if it's an app or something an app is using, but there's a limit to how thin I can run my daily, and I don't own a spare right now.

In the end, even if I'd end up having to use an external battery to get through the days, I'd still take this CM9 lol. The profiles feature in particular...solves much conflict at home.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
I have a mirror also its in the 2nd pg I think.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
That doesn't answer the question. I don't use tmobile and therefore have no idea what tmobile apn's look like. Is it a combined APN? Or do they have separate apns for data and MMS?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] edwardng:
pls include a (cm?) file manager in next release if possible :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
as of now theres no cm filemanager building from the repo on ICS branch, also no FM radio app in the ICS branch.

So there wont be in a while.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
The APN I have selected is epc.tmobile.com
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Please not the dribs and drabs.... Are there more than one APN in your list? Does the one you have selected have a value set in the MMSC, MMS Proxy, or MMS Port fields? Do you have a non-selectable APN with value "mms" in the "APN Type" field?

In general (I don't know how tmobile configures things), there are TWO APNs used. One is the "selectable" internet APN, the other is a non-selectable MMS apn. When an MMS is sent, it is supposed to switch automatically over to the non-selectable one to send the MMS. This particular function is broken in a LOT of cases with Android 4. I'm trying to understand your APN configuration in order to determine if the APN is switching automatically as it is supposed to, or if your configuration doesn't require an APN switch.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
I highly recommend downloading OI File Manager from the Google Play Store. IIRC, the source from that app is what was used for CM7.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Ah crap, I have to agree with you :eek:

In fact, there are a lot of file browsers in the eh, hate the name, but "play store" (does anyone besides me think sex-toy-shop when they hear "play store"??? If you didn't before, hopefully you will now... :D).

IMO, stuff that is readily available and subject to one's preferences really need not be included in the system image. You can always go and get it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
That would explain a lot actually. I have so many ROMs in my SD Card.

EDIT: After flashing the correct ROM forget all my prior observations of shortcomings re this ROM. Sorry.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] restopi:
Don't know if the attached battery consumption is normal, there are 2 big drops, first one is a voice call, 20m for a 20% drop, the 2nd drop is a 15m browsing on 4g (dolphin and xda app) for 40% drop.

In both cases no bluetooth, no gps, wifi on but not connected

Is that normal or should I change the stock battery? In still in alpah5, s-on

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Just tested, it worked fine over here (flashed a6 over a5 - no wipe)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Definitely not normal. Even with stock battery, it should not drain that quickly. I suggest you flash to alpha 6 and see if that helps. The new release has an updated kernel, which can help with the issues you're having
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
Face Unlock broken in alpha6?

Is anyone successfully using Face Unlock with alpha6?

For me, it looks like face capture is broken. At the lock screen I'm always getting "Couldn't find a face" (no matter the position / lighting) and if I try to improve face matching I keep getting "Show your face". The strange part is that the front-facing camera seems to be working fine. I have no trouble seeing my face on the screen. Unfortunately, my phone has plenty.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
Thanks for bringing Alpha 6 to us! Flashed it over Alpha 5 with cache and Dalvik wipe.

No wifi issues here though. Are you seeing issues with both?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mrbubs3:
Yes, I have the disappearing H, and my wifi hangs when it initiates. I had to go back to Virtuous Inquisition until this matter gets resolved.

So the power button died on my phone and my replacement came yesterday. I was excited until I saw that it was locked, S-on with the "un-rootable" hboot and alpha 6 was just released. After some research and reading posts from everybody here I was able to successfully unlock, root and s-off my device, restore alpha 5 to this new unit and flash this new alpha over the previous one. Thank you to everybody for all of the great advice and cm for doing what you do! (Sorry for being off topic)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
At least you didn't set about creating a new thread, complaining "help me, help me, my world is coming to an end!' and wasting everyone's time when there are already step by step guides out there

Regarding alpha 6, my screen sounds and lock sounds still haven't come back, since somewhere in the middle of using alpha 5. Any fixes? I tried toggling but it made no difference
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
A fresh install fixed this issue for me, along with other issues. Flashing over older builds gave me too many bugs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
I was with alpha 5 but it seems a lot better with alpha 6, flashed over 5 with only cache/dalvik wipe. for what it's worth
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Seems OK here.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mrbubs3:
I had tried that as well, and I did not have any luck with it. I guess I should list the steps I took to address the issue. I will note that I am S-On unlocked w/root.

1) after experiencing these described issues, I went into CWD recovery, wiped data/factory reset, formatted /system, and wiped dalvik-cache.

2) I pulled boot.img from Alpha 6, rebooted into fastboot, pushed and flashed the file via adb, then I rebooted into recovery.

3) I installed Alpha 6, Gapps.zip, then Titanium Backup via update.zip.

4) Booted normally, and allowed the phone to sit for five minutes.

5) Skipped registration, and went to using my phone before I would normally store. The same problems persisted.

And this leads me to my current situation.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
I had the same issue, even a full wipe and re-flash did not fix, i just went to another rom. but im thinking about trying alpha 6
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
tried it, liked it, but camera crashed exactly as it did before . camera works fine on mik's .4 version, so I'm hanging with it for a while
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
Why are you reinstalling Titanium Backup via a update.zip? Grab it from the market.

I'm S-Off via revolutionary, but when I flash roms, I do this:

Wipe Cache

Wipe Data/Factory reset

Format Cache

Format Data

Format System

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Flash CM

Flash Gapps

reboot.

Wait 5 minutes

reboot, pull battery and hold power button for 10 seconds.

replace battery, and proceed through setup.

Install titanium backup via market, and have at it.

In that order. Obviously S-on folks have to do extra steps, but for the most part that's how I do it and it's been fine (except when I flash over existing builds, so I started over from scratch)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
i'm stoked that google voice message playback from call log/contacts is working now.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] restopi:
Just updated to Alpha6, will give it a try and see if it makes a difference.

Btw, just curious, how do we know the CM version we are running? About Phone shows : "9-20120723-UNOFFICIAL-doubleshot", i figured the date is the Alpha6 release, but i though in the past it will say "Alpha5" or "RC1" or similar in the version, has that changed to show the release date? or is the date only for the alphas?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
Can confirm 6Axis works perfectly. Bluetooth can crash time to time. But it'll pair back within a second.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Wouldn't that be CM

9

? I believe the release date will determine everything else for you.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
Yes, the major version number is 9, of course. Often, in software versioning, there are also minor version numbers (like when I was running CM7.1 on this phone), and build numbers. I guess the release date is usually a unique identifier, but I don't think you can claim it's as easy to tell. If I want to verify I'm running Alpha4, for example, what date should I expect to see? What happens if a big bug is found and fixed, and a new release is issued the same day?

In no way am I trying to say the devs should spend more time/effort on this. I just wanted to respond to your snark, there, Weekends.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Alright I will try that. I also noticed quite a few other issues, which have made my Klipsch Image S4 headphones sound like crap. DSP manager is on the fritz and the phone is glitching like crazy. Looks like this latest release broke a lot of stuff. But I've been flashing over since alpha 2 with no problems. AND I used to flash nightlies all the time with my G2 with no wipes.

I'll report back if the wipe and flash goes well. It's a pain in the ass though...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I didn't mean to come off as 'snarky', it was just kind of a tongue-in-cheek bit of humor. Or so I thought. If you'll notice at the top of the thread the developers change the date as they change the Alpha number. Although I can't swear to it because I've not followed this ROM very well, it does look like the version number includes the release date. (7/23/2012) I HAVE to just assume but I would be willing to bet that it has been so throughout this entire process. But with that assumption in mind, it would be impossible to tell exactly which Alpha version you are running unless you have been keeping up with the entire release schedule and saving each & every Alpha version in a folder with that information inserted into the folder name.

But it IS just a theory.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
It may just be wiping time... happens every 3-6 months depending on how many roms I flash, etc.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
Anyone else having issues reading QR codes in Alpha 6 with any QR scanning app (Google Goggles, Barcode Scanner, Front Flip, etc)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
The camera app seems to work fine, but when I tried to snap a pic of a QR code with Google Goggles, this is what I got.

EDIT: So the snapshot seems to have fixed itself after a reboot. But the continuous will not work, it never finds the QR code...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
can you tahe pictures, close app, then take more?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
Interesting. Do you think this might be related to my Face Unlock problems? I suspect that would use a continuous shooting mode. Have you tried Face Unlock?

EDIT: For me, Google Goggles can recognize a QR code in Snapshot mode, but not in Continuous mode.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mrbubs3:
I do the update.zip so that I don't have to log in an email address when I start up the ROM. it saves time, and it hasn't presented as a problem.

Formatting data may be a good idea. I guess I should try that when I try CM9 alpha 6 again. I like Virtuous Inquisition, but it eats up internal storage like whoa. No offense to TBalden, of course. That dude is a beast.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
