I means the file pointed out in previous post, in gitgub, you could udpdate your local file under /system with proper key code.

About GPS, check your gps.conf, latest radio and so ...

edit -- ok, gps module is not built properly ...

edit 2 -- for fix gps, unzip and copy file attached to /system/lib/hw , providing rw permision to /system (with adb shell busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)

Wow it's great

I've been playing around with it these are the bugs I have noticed:

Camera seems to be a little messed up, doesn't work properly

Superuser has some issues, force closing

Google maps doesn't find my location

I downloaded Youtube but force closes

Some of my apps force close randomly

My computer installs the driver after I connect the usb cable but nothing appears on the phone! cant connect to pc

Also keyboard's light doesn't work. fn key on keyboard doesn't work

Still this rom is my daily use, It's super speedy
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zeubea:
are your hboot unlocked? =>it is preferred.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
How can I unlock the hboot?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zeubea:
Well, i don know, in legend is by htcdev.com.

Meanwhile, it seems you need doing /system /data /boot /cache dalvik wipes before flashing cm9.

Think we got a maintainer since nightlies are rolling out quite regularly. Just want to know if devs are still interested in this device...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
yh we do but cm9 is the last thing on his mind, all he is releasing is cm 7.2.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] teacher006:
Love this rom

I just put this on my phone about 6 days ago and I think it works great. I would love to see what the update would look like and see how it works. I also have the HTC HD2 europe version with windows seven and Android ICS. I am one of these guys that hate being told you are going to get updates and then they never give them to you, so we look to you guys to help us get them. It took me two days of reading to find out how to root this phone and install this rom but it was worth it.

Ediy -- Finally tun.ko is not included :eek: Copy by hand and test it such as it is in legend forum : insmod, modprobe ....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bearshare:
Exactly what we have been waiting for. Flashing immediately and reporting back soon sir! And do hope that you could bring us a nearly perfect ROM before leaving this device (perfection is to much for this device now). Thanks a lot man....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
wow! I just flashed and this is working prefect... the lack of home key was killing me :D keyboard also works prefect
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zeubea:
Location services?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
no
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bearshare:
I followed the post about how to fix the home key and other in this ROM but's that too brief and I don't really know what to do with that. Could you give us a bit more detailed guide. Thanks a lot.

That's fine. The home key works. Everything is nearly perfect. I love this and am using it right now. Thanks zeubea!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Any chance it will be fixed? i believe that's the final issue... :o
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zeubea:
It is weird because the most of code is shared with legend, and in legend it is working :confused:.

Is anyone using custom MTD partitions with this rom?

How big is the system partition footprint after being installed?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
I'm personally using custom MTD with S2E, as i found that after S2E, my entire Data partition is empty :D

So i gave about 315 to System, the rest to Cache, and whatever was left (i think i have 145mb on Data) which is still empty thanks to S2E :silly:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I am trying to install the latest CM9 (7/18) but it is not working. I am using custom MTD partitions (315 40).

I wiped system/cache/data/dalvik cache. Flashed CM9. Ran my MTD boot script. Rebooted.

I see my Alpha rev splash screen and it seems to boot loop twice before going back to my home ClockworkMod recovery screen. I have also tried to flash gapps.

I wiped system/cache/data/dalvik cache. Flashed CM9. Flash gapps. Ran my MTD boot script. Rebooted. Still no dice.

Anyone else have these types of issues?

=========FIXED======================

I just removed custom partitions. I am going to see how large the system partition is after the install and then optimize MTD partitions.

EDIT:

So it looks like 240MB is good for the system, leaving 225.1MB for cache and data. As of now only a MB or so of my cache is being used. I am going to try setting it to something low (like 5MB) to see if I can claim more of my NAND for data. I'll let you all know how it goes.

EDIT:

Sorry for all the EDIT's, but 240MB is proving to be too small for the system partition size. I believe this is the root of my FC problems. As you can see my system is 100% full. Can anyone comment on their system size after a day or so of use so that I can size my system being more informed?

busybox df -k

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/block/mtdblock3 245760 245356 404 100% /system

/dev/block/mtdblock5 220288 177572 42716 81% /data

/dev/block/mtdblock5 220288 177572 42716 81% /cache

/dev/block/mtdblock4 10240 1160 9080 11% /dev/cache

EDIT:

I have my system at 240MB with my cache at 10MB, leaving 215.1MB for data. No problems to report yet with this configuration.

Also, has anyone experimented with using a modified build.prop file? I was using a build.prop(pulled from one of the xm releases) with the latest cm7 along with a modified gps.conf file. I'll give it a shot shortly if I don't hear anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bearshare:
The Rom is fine without partitioning. I am a big fan of a2sd but i dont think it works with this rom
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
did you change the gps.conf to north america?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I have been using the ROM for 3-4 hours now. I am getting a lot of FC on apps. Are you guys having to run the fix permissions script in ROM manager or is this not an issue for others?

EDIT:

Ran fix permissions and I am still getting FC's. Is this just part of the experience?

Overall this is pretty amazing to have ICS on this phone. I really didn't think it was going to happen. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help...

Also, I'm guessing that there are no plans to get the wifi calling app working?

Adobe flash player

I tried installing adobe flash player 11 and I get this message "Your device isn't compatible with this version". Has anyone been able to install flash player?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
I can only say from my own experience, when i had the default partition layout, i kept having FC on just about anything. Once i re-sized and used S2E to move all the stuff to my Ext, i've not had a single FC since.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
Umm I had this problem too and I just wiped davkin cache from clockwork recovery and I get no more FCs

you processor should be at least 1 GHz to install Flash Player... Espresso's CPU is only 600MHz

How can I do that? I didn't notice there is solution

yes i know, i read a post that i need to change the flex ribbon cable... here HERE i'll buy it but i need to wait almost a month because that's how long it takes to come to my country.

bad luck :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I have changed the Flex ribbon on my MT3GS. It's not too bad. The main symptoms I experienced was a scrolling of the screen. So the task bar would end up in the middle or bottom of the screen. All good now.

A little off subject but I just gotta say, this phone is a champ. I have given this phone hell and it still keeps kickin!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
Tell me how I can change my gps setting to north america
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I have attached a modified gps.conf file that should work well for anyone in North America. I had to rename the extension to .txt so that it would upload. Just remove the .txt and add a .conf to the file before putting it in the etc directory on your phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
I keep getting this msg even when i was trying to set up Link2SD! I even did a factory reset and clean install!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
I keep telling to give more space to system, but people insist it's not required :silly:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
What do suggesting ne to do now? :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Personally? first do a backup (nandroid)

1) use the custom MTD to increase the system partition, i believe that what we currently have is just too "close" for comfort, so giving it some extra is good for you

2) format all the newly resized partitions

3) restore your nandroid

4) reboot and go back to working with no space issue

I think that system having about 5mb free space is just not healthy, i gave it 315 but again that's just me. my Data partition is 145 and free 139 after installing loads of apps! of all sizes. I think i have over 750mb of apps installed at the moment and no one complained about space issues ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
If I wait would zeubea fix the gps problem?!! I'm scared of massing up my phone... I need it right now I can't risk:rolleyes:

One more think, I remember on CM7 I could move any app to SD Card why we can't do the same think on this rom ant not go through all the troubles of partitioning and stuff
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
How can I do that? I didn't notice there is solution[/QUOTE]

i dont know if it works cause im not on this rom but get fasterGPS or any type of app that changes your ntp servers from the play store

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hitorijanae:
Trying out my first build. Let's see what happens.

EDIT: I got adb access, but no booting.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hitorijanae:
So far, my rom doesn't boot, instead, it says - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory - and when trying to push sh to /system, it says No space left on device
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Both seem easy to fix, can you upload the rom ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hitorijanae:
I got it to get past that now, It was too much in /system for the mtdblock to hold, so I copied some of /system/app to /data/app, however, Anything that involves the shell doesn't do anything, rather it doesn't go into the shell at all. I'll start uploading in a couple of minutes, Also, I've figured out what's causing the problem of TeamFreedomSense's wifi, it's libhardware_legacy, now I just need to figure out how to fix it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bearshare:
Great if you could release both the Sense 35 and ICS at the same time. Just hope it would not take too much of your time. Keep on....;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
Thanks for this ROM, it's great. Beta 3 build is much more stable and the sym button is working finally (additional thanks for fixing it).

Is usb mass storage function not working for everyone or just me? I've tried to install Dual Mount SD app and still nothing happens.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
make sure you change the wifi interface to tiwlan0 in the kernel and build.prop's

I've finished uploading the Sense 4 ROM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
did you change the smali's in framework.jar with the ics ones?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hitorijanae:
Yeah. Probably going to do some more work on them though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
its 297mb....did you remove any apps and dont you have a mytouch to test it on yourself?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hitorijanae:
Well, my phone so I try to test as much as I can, when I can get it to boot. I have to fix my flex cable. Also, it's 297mb, but it's flashable, because I moved a lot of apps to /data/app, otherwise, the poor system mtdblock wouldn't be able to hold out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
I flashed Sense 4.0 and didn't boot just stuck at MyTouch boot screen for 15 min
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hitorijanae:
Are you able to get a logcat?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Usually an indication that the system partition is not large enough.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Repartition your NAND using custom MTD partitions. There is a thread in this forum on how to do this. How large is the .zip installer unzipped?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MC MILK:
if someone needs

MTD

what size should I give?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
okay can anyone post a logcat so we can see if it actually boots instead of worrying about system size that can be managed later.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MC MILK:
if I could expand my memory of the system could be installed the rom and could give the logcat
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
its not possible to expand cause rom is too big, so what you need to do is delete the apps you think are not needed, if you dont know what it is just leave it but keep deleting apps untill you get the zip to the size of about 120mb then install it and you would be good to go.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MC MILK:
well i reduced the .zip to 118 MB but never advance to Mytouch Logo... i don't know why...

and when i try to do the log file it doesn't it :(

i deleted all the app's, audio and fonts.......
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
so your saying you cant get adb working? what does it say when your write "adb logcat"?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MC MILK:
nothing when i put that only one line

/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
try this, either replace these files in the rom zip or install the rom then install this, not sure if this is gonna help but just try it out and tell me what happens
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
Any updates on the keyboard lights issue?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MC MILK:
i tried that but didn't works.....

i I think I'm doing something wrong because the ROM not install..... because when i enter in the system folder and put "ls" nothing is found....

look
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ThEuNdYiNg1:
use adb shell and put busybox df -h and see if the system partition is even being used
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
Dear devs please open a new topic and start working on Sense 4 there! Don't stop working on Sense 4 please this should be awesome
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
We should certainly open a different thread, so we will have ICS and Sense threads seperated.

For now, i've flashed the ROM and tried to boot and it wouldn't go past the phone splash1

There is no CatLog, cause it doesnt seem to even go that far.

I've taken a snap shot using QtADB of the internal space.

As you can see, even with my over 300mb internal space, it's at 0 capacity.

Oh, also, the sh is named sh0 on the /system/bin/ partition

So i've changed it's name, re-zipped and testing again ;)

Ok.. i know what the problem is, i've checked the system size and it's over 400mb

so i compared the system/app with the data/app and they have identical files!

i'm gonna try moving stuff from system app so it will fit 300mb or less and see if that help (founds loads of duplicates in the two folders)

Sorry.. it wouldn't even give me a LogCat.. i get no errors, but it doesn't seem to go past the Splash1 screen :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
devs, many thanks for pushing this process forward. you are doing a great job but there are some bugs I can see so far (a kind of wrap-up):

1. keyboard lights not working

2. wireless tethering is missing

3. location services not working

4. GPS-related apps work slow and hang time after time

5. CWM backup doesn't mount (and doesn't create an image) for /sd-ext partition: "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)" error

6. usb mass storage doesn't work, dual mount app makes no difference

7. FCs appear over and over, however not as often as on beta3. i.e. every time as an app is installed/updated using play store a FC of "system" app appears.

8. It would be nice if the native camera app work cause camera illusion app doesn't provide full resolution and is super-slow.

it would be super-nice if this bugs will be fixed. thanks in advance!

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
I see in the MiuiV4 thread, that the ICS 4.0.4 there, has fixed all the issues we are experiencing on this ROM. Can anything be done to take what's working there, into this ? and maybe what is working here, to give the other ROM, so we will have two working ROM's, instead of partially working two.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
Decided to try miui mod, and then to roll back to beta4.

The weird thing is when I try to recover from a backup of this mod I get a strange state of the device: there's no application (neither titanium backup, nor rom manager, nor user apps), almost no system data, no gapps installed (the phone is associated with my accounts but there's no play/market app), home button is not working again.

I tried to install gapps from the zip over it - nothing changed.

I guess the /data is absent because it was moved to sd-ext and wasn't backuped properly (as I mentioned earlier), but I have no idea what's wrong with the home button and gapps - I thought that nandroid backup saves (and then reverts to) the exact state of the device...

I've tried to wipe partitions and recover from a backup - still nothing changed.

Could anybody tell me if this is a bug or that's me doing anything wrong in backup/restore process? What is the right strategy?

Currently I overcame the situation by wiping partitions and making a clean install of the mod and gapps. Now I'm recovering apps using Titanium. It works, but it takes much more time :-\
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
When i do a backup/restore, i always flash the CWM 2.5.0.7, which has a full access to the SD-Ext partition. I found that any version above it, for some reason, is not working with SD-Ext...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
The same is here, recovery version is 2.5.0.7, but when I try to mount the ext partition manually I get the "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File already exists)" error.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Might be a "long shot" but... could you move everything from your memory card to your PC, reformat it, then restore everything to it ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
Thanks for the advise, all try that.

The lesson I've learned so far is that you shouldn't use Link2SD app with this mod. I linked the /sd-ext partition by S2E app at first and then started recovering the apps+data. Everything was going ok until I started Link2SD which tried to recreate startup scripts and messed all the things up.

Now FCs are almost gone and GPS-related apps are working much smoother.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shahabk818:
could you fix the GPS like on MIUI please?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
I did just like you told and as SD card partitioning tutorial describes. Right after that CWM mounted /sd-ext partition successfully. But later, when I installed and tuned MUIU mod (including S2E and ext partition utilization), I decided to make a backup, and faced the same error message again. :( Looks like something "spoils" my SD card but I don't know what exactly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
When you are trying to do the backup, are you using CWM5 or CWM2 ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
I used recovery version 2.5.0.7. Should I try v5?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
No, v5 doesn't work with Ext.

What Ext did you format it to? Ext2/3 or 4?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
Ext2 primary partition, just as prescripted
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Out of curiosity, when you open S2E information, does it actually detect your Ext partition and gives you information about it ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saem persun:
Yes, it does
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MC MILK:
