Ok I got everything however I am encountering an error when trying to push the module. It says failed to copy 'bcmdhd.ko' to '/system/lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko' : read-only files system. Any ideas how to properly push this module?

A wipe and re-flash finally fixed TB Fcing. However, now my home and search buttons aren't working. ::banghead:: They used to work fine, and still work in the 'key test' section of cwm recovery. I've already tried wiping and flashing several times. Any ideas?

Edit: multiple wipes and persistence fixed it.

What drivers do we need for the USB tethering?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mdneilson:
You just need the phone drivers from HTC. I recommend downloading the tether app from the same guy who wrote ROM Manager. I can toss up a link when I get home in a few.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JtotheC:
Why only from recovery?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mdneilson:
Check your adb settings (settings > developer options > root access). Default is 'apps only,' so you have to change it for root access over adb.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I've done tried that many times and get permission denied every single time. android-utility can't even adb while its running. Also its better to push while in reecovery

I'm not to worried about it as I've started doing it from recovery on all ROMS and devices now, it just seems safer that way

I ran A6 battery was horrid. Went back to A5 seems to be the most stable best battery . Never have wifi issues , bluetooth works. has the camera bug if you take a picture and go view it immediately after taking it camera fails to respond. but meh ....no big deal. Blackknightavalon I think we've seen all this puppy got .

I doubt if it will be developed much beyond where it is now. Which is fine A5 is more than stable enough for daily driver. Seems our device just has a terrible time handling ICS and JB with no bugs

Have you checked ROM Manager lately?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Well....if you're going to base your decision on how it works on a CyanogenMod ROM then I can see why you'd think that. But really, they've always been the developers that give the least amount of support with the absolute slowest turnaround time for any fixes. Then when they fix one thing they usually break 2 or 3 other things. Try a ROM that the developer or team that isn't trying to develope for 10 or 12 different devices at the same time with ours being the LEAST of their worries. Just sayin'......
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
I had been seeing difficulty switching back to cell data networks after leaving the range of wifi. If I went airplane mode and came back, it would connect usually, but it seemed like I had bad reception most of the time. I started to wonder if I'd have better luck with a newer radio firmware.

I flashed back to stock using the 1.63.531.2 image here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17424340

I tried to run any updates, but no new updates were found.

I was still S-OFF at this point, but I couldn't flash the CWM recovery, so I went through the official HTC method to unlock the bootloader. I then flashed the CWM recovery using adb and restored my Alpha5 backup (mmm.... battery life....), and my problem seems so far to be resolved, although it's only been a few hours.

I do have a couple questions, however. I found a reference to an older engineering build of the hboot (1.44.0006), but I didn't load it since I was able to get CWM recovery on after doing the HTC bootloader unlock. Is there any benefit to the older hboot? I found it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432202&page=3

Also, was there a better way for me to unlock the bootloader, since I was already S-OFF? I guess it's good for my vote to be counted among HTC's customers as one that likes an unlocked bootloader, but I know I had it unlocked before and I'm not sure how. Perhaps I could have downgraded something and then unlocked it, rather than using the official method? I'm just wanting to know so I understand how all the pieces interact.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GravvyTrain:
I'm not sure if there was an easier way for you to unlock your bootloader because I used JuopunutBear, which is not exactly "easy" but I didn't have too much of a problem using it. And that older hboot looks like a developer's reference to create a custom hboot- nothing a regular user should be concerned about (please correct me if I'm wrong). But if you used Revolutionary's s-off method you would have had to have the 1.44.0007 hboot because the newer hboot doesn't work with Revolutionary.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
I had no problem whatsoever unlocking my phone and making it S-off. it was quite fun actually :victory:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
After a few days of playing with it, I've noticed that I do get much beter reception on the newer firmware. Where I previously had gotten terrible or no reception at one buddy's house, this weekend I was able to hit the web a few times without much trouble. I still have noticed one issue where a text message I sent via Google Voice seemed not to go through, but it was received on the other end. I think I'll chalk that up to an application crash or something, rather than the phone not connecting properly.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mrbubs3:
I had that issue before, and I always wondered what the hell it was. It turns out that if you were restoring system apps + data via older versions of Titanium back-up, then the data functionality would be corrupted. TB now has Restoring from XML, so that is less likely to happen, but it's food for thought.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
I'm getting a major glitch, my data is going on and off quick, I ussaully have to reflash to fix but that's starting to get on my nerves, any fixes??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Dr.Gonz0:
Sometimes going back to stock and re-doing the whole painful process of unlocking the bootloader and all that jazz may be what the doctor ordered. Happened often with all my previous phones where the partitions go nuts and the thing forgets there is a SIM installed or other crap. last device was notorious for those kind of shennagins.

CM9.1 has been alright for me so far, only thing that's been eeehhhhh about it is the genius button not doing anything. Probably have to flash something in recovery to fix.

Hmmmmm... any idea why my phone isn't going into deep sleep? Running 9.1 and Better Battery Stats identified 0 deep sleep. Could be part of our drain...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] okeeblow:
I experience this intermittently and always thought it was a problem with T-Mobile. Are you in the southeast US, by chance?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GravvyTrain:
IMO, the data thing is a signal/network problem, but it may very well be something else . I live in the southeast and experienced the data on/off deal for the first time in a while, but it was on Saturday(9-15) afternoon. Pretty annoying when your trying to use the navigation app and its asking for data, but it won't stay on. So I try everything I can think of: Toggle Data, Reboot, Restore APN. Not even 5 minutes after switching the APN [from tmobile to simple and back to tmobile], I got the data back steady. Dunno if I was just lucky or if messing with the APNs really fixed it :p
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
That's something going on in a background. My phone doesn't go into a deep sleep when I set time alarm I don't know why because my previous phone did.

Hello Doubleshot community!

I haven't really been reading/writing posts for months and I have been having a stable experience with Virtuous Inquisition (don't even have the reboot problems people report with that ROM)

I used to be a G1 owner and used CM for the life of that phone so when I saw the "stable" release to the Doubleshot over at Cyanogenmod, I excitedly downloaded to give it a try. It does indeed seem very stable and smooth!! Nice work!! I did experience the annoying speakerphone issue when on wi-fi calling - no big deal. I also found that when I went to dial a number (actually pressing digits and not selecting from contacts) that every time I pressed a number I would get the button tone and then a second later a really long vibrate...so annoying. Am I alone with that?

Anyway, it's nice to see progress coming along on the CM front but I guess the dealbreaker for me ATM is that the Alt and CAPS lights don't work (as stated in the buglist) I have fumbling fingers sometimes and I really do depend on those lights when I'm typing a lot to let me know when I'm in Alt/CAPS lock and I previously donated to TBalden when he got those lights working on V-Inquisition so I'm going to stick with that ROM a little while longer as it's the best all around experience I've had to date. I don't have the know-how to to fix any bugs myself but I'm always good for a donation to help out and say thanks for a ROM that I do use.

Thanks again for keeping it fun!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] scverhagen:
We are not getting deep sleep on our phones on 9.1 because of a bug that is causing a kernel wakelock ("msm_serial_hs_dma"). This can be fixed by adding:

<bool name="config_bluetooth_adapter_quick_switch">false</bool>

to the file "overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml" of the CM 9.1 source and building the ROM.

This overlay tag has already been added to other devices... see here (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/pull/28[/url])

Making this change fixed the deep sleep issue for me and battery life has already improved drastically.

Another possible workaround would be to modify a kernel to never trigger the msm_serial_hs_dma wakelock.

Does the stock kernel of 9.1 support GPU overclock?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
How would one apply that?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] scverhagen:
You would have to download the sources from github, add the above tag to the bottom of the file "device/htc/doubleshot/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml", and then compile the rom.

I'm hoping that the the CyanogenMod team will update their code so this issue is fixed.

If you look one post about yours, I broke down what was said to be changed at the Source level. I even broke his post down to take out all the other info so you could see the change only. If it was to difficult to follow I would think implementing it would be even harder for you
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] scverhagen:
Attempt to fix battery drain on CM 9.1

As promised, here are some files:

1)

kernel-ics-3-0-43-bat-drain-test.zip

This is a 3.0.43 kernel with a "workaround" for the CM 9.1 wake lock bug (it ignores the dma wakelock that CM 9.1 is trying to trigger.) If you are S-OFF you should be able to flash this over your existing 9.1 installation. Note that this kernel is only a workaround and there might be side-effects.

2)

cm_doubleshot-9-1-w-3-0-43-kernel.zip

This is a modified CM 9.1 build with the drain bug removed from the rom. This also includes an updated 3.0.43 kernel. (you should be able to use ANY kernel you want because the rom itself is fixed.) This is a better solution (than #1) as the problem was really with the rom and not the kernel. The kernel included here does NOT include the workaround because it is not needed if the rom itself is fixed This means that flashing the boot.img out of this file will not fix the battery drain on a buggy CM 9.1 installation.

You can find these files in my dropbox: (dropbox.com/sh/xlh42bu8qjzv6mw/ylXkYjPVPa)

Sources are on my github: (github.com/scverhagen)

Oh question... can't we upload the patch so it gets into next CM9 official build or is that just Nightlies? It's been so darn long... since the G2 days. I do remember kornyone saying something about that now since 9.1.0, right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] edwardng:
TS should modify the title ... it is "cm9.10 stable" not CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 6 (07/23)

this kernel is so smooooooooooooooooooth kudos to the developers... will update the result of battery draining rate soon

may be, this kernel with jellybean driver would be the perfect combination for the upcoming cm10's kernel? O.O

Is anyone still having the data service issue? I gave up on this rom months ago and went to MikStock to avoid that problem but I sure do miss cyanogenmod.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Dr.Gonz0:
Flashed it last night, messed with it a little had some problems and passed out. This morning and for the most part, it works great although I'm having a problem with activating wifi. Can't seem to get it to turn on, the icon in the pull down menu might show the wifi thing lit up but when I go to "sniff" for networks, nada! Tried using wifi manager and got the same result.

Outside of that it's looking good.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Are the new wifi modules included in this kernel? That may be the reason why wifi is borked

And yes, if the battery drain is solved, it should be posted in public gerrit

Kornyone mentioned that he wanted others to help out where they could

If all goes well, we'll likely see the new kernel in the next M release (if the DS is part of the main CM lineup now...)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] scverhagen:
They should be. Just to be sure I'll create the zip for the kernel again. The link will stay the same.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

I just updated the zip file for the kernel (to fix wifi). I used the same filename so the link is the same.

If you would like to know more about the kernel you can view the changelog.txt file in my dropbox or view the commit history on my github (github.com/scverhagen)

Here is a summary of how this kernel differs from the stock CM 9.1 kernel:

09-16-2012	- Disable kernel debugging to improve performance (scverhagen)

09-15-2012	- Rebased Kernel to 3.0.43

- Revert 362b2f8 - Fix inverted FFC issue...

09-12-2012	- Enable USB fast charge (v 3.1) - credit to yank555-lu and xmc-wildchild22

09-10-2012	- Undervolting tweaks - credit to xmc-wildchild22

- Overclock GPU - credit to xmc-wildchild22

- Added Snapdragon optimizations - credit to xmc-wildchild22

scverhagen's CM9.1 rom

I flashed the modified ROM from scverhagen, and I have not noticed a significant difference in battery life. I might reflash and try it again as well as doing a complete battery cycle after wiping the stats and see how it performs.

To address the users experiencing difficulties with wifi connectivity, I have had no problems with wifi at all. As a matter of fact, when I did the initial google setup, It asked me if I wanted to "restore" the phone from my gmail account. After I did the restore, I toggled the wifi from the notification bar and proceeded to the settings to find my network. Much to my surprise the google restore remembered my wifi for me and I was already connected!:cool:

Attached a screen of my battery stats after one day on the rom. Oh wow I just realized...... I always download brightness profiles and I fell asleep messing with my phone last night- I don't know how I didn't notice but I left it on 100% brightness all day! I'm sure I would have got more than 9 hrs out of it on 30% brightness. FYI I use stock HTC batteries(I have two I switch between ;) ).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] edwardng:
to get correct battery drain rate... let it drains until x% for the first time after flashing the rom - charge to full and start to observe...

btw, i just started ... lets pray for more than 10 hrs in stock battery?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mdneilson:
Wi-Fi works for me. Are you s-off? Try flashing the kernel over fastboot.

So far this ROM doesn't seem any better. Maybe worse.

Well I've been on conservative govener..... no deep sleep achieved here. Will trial ondemand.

Edit... same goes for ondemand.

I did install your complete rom do-over. I'm gonna resinstall cm9.1 then your kernel only see if that helps deep sleep.

Edit2... cpuspy was not refreshing everytime I opened it. I have to manually refresh, which shows he phone is in fact deep sleeping.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] scverhagen:
From first glance this looks like the old "stable" release with the battery drain... and not the new ROM. This is showing the "msm_serial_hs_dma" wakelock... This was removed from the "workaround" kernel and should not be thrown by new full ROM. Are you sure you flashed everything correctly (wipe everything/etc)?
