r7b stable

I just posted a link for the r7b stable kernel (with all of the undervolting commits reverted). I'm keeping r7 exp as is...

As soon as the full rom is uploaded I'll add the link and post.

My plan is to back off a little of the UV for r8 exp. If you had issues with UV on r7 and would like to help me test r8 exp send me a pm...

r7b full rom

The full rom has been updated. (r7b)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] FreeK200:
Call me an idiot, I don't mind, but would there be any issues if I were to try to install this on top of Korny's CM9.0? The reason I ask is because backing up all of my applications and reinstalling them with Titanium Backup is quite an involved process that I really don't feel like doing (At least, not until I purchase it so that I reinstall all of them with the click of a button...

I'm 90% sure you cant as it isn't as minor an update from one alpha to the next, but I figure if I can install over 9.0, might as well do it now...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
I did that and then wifi didn't work. Don't know if it is because of that though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
At the very least the kernel is different which means so are the wifi modules. All of these can be flashed separately, though, if he or you are still s-on...

Everything else should be overwritten with the flash process, right? I mean at worst wipe cache and Dalvik...

I could be wrong...

Edit... That said, I have seen weird things happen from not wiping before a flash. Leftover bits seem to confuse new bits. At least, back on my g1. On my double shot, I always wiped (usually because I was going from gb to ics or vice versa).

Thank you for 7b!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AdamWill:
thanks scverhagen! i think having the stable kernel pretty stock and the OC/UV stuff in the exp kernel is just the right way to go.

work on usb transfer speeds

I'm looking into the usb transfer speed issue of this rom. If anyone has time to test a modified version of this rom (a possible fix for the usb transfer speed), send me a PM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
you wouldn't by chance be able to make a flashable zip for us to test right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] scverhagen:
Its a change in the rom and not the kernel. I have a flashable zip. If the tweak works, it will be included in r8.

I have been having a small but annoying problem with this ROM. When the phone goes to sleep after wake-up the home, menu, back, genius and select buttons stop working (the 5 buttons on the front of the phone.) The buttons on the keypad will work and the cursor control feature of the select button will still work. The only fix I have so far is to set the phone to not sleep for 30 minutes. Note: I was having this problem with a previous version of this ROM which is what prompted me to update but the ROM had been fine for several months. It was only a few days ago that this started happening. Any tips or help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated. (If this has already been addressed a push in the right direction will be appreciated.)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] IrefulSoul:
[r7b] flashed over [r5] after a Davlik and Cache wipe.

I did not reflash Wifi Calling nor Google Apps.

I am currently experiencing 2 issues:

Camera Flash Toggle

Call Distortion & Slowdown

Camera Flash Toggle

I take most of my photos with the flash off.

When switching to flash AUTO or flash ON, I get no flash output.

Only until rebooting the phone will I get a flash.

If flash is toggled, I am unable to get a working flash until reboot.

This issue followed me from [r5] and is still here in my flash of [r7b]

Call Distortion & Slowdown

This is a new issue for me.

My phone will output the first ring of a call fine over Wifi.

As the call progresses, 20-30-40% of the audio starts cutting out and the audio slows down.

I am unable to conduct Wifi calls.

This also happens when receiving calls when connected to Wifi calling.

*Edit: I have confirmed audio in calls works OK when using cell towers.

Is anyone else experiencing my two issues?

Curious...does anyone have MMS working? Copied the settings from another MT4GS and looked up settings on tmo site but still no luck. Is there something else I might be missing?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
My MMS has worked on CM9 for months.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jcicora:
With the default settings?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
Yes. I can second this. I've used MMS on CM9 since alpha3 or so, on the previous thread. I've never had to set any custom settings. I use Google Voice for SMS, but since MMS is not supported by GV, I use the regular Messages app to send pictures.

I have noticed that battery drains much faster on r7/r7b than it was before on r4. Sorry if it has been mentioned before.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jcicora:
Mine is the same. Is your APN enable box grayed out but checked?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iceolate:
I'm still having the mobile network issue that was discussed before. I left work, where i have wifi all day, and it wouldn't connect to the 3G network afterwards. I tried to disable the mobile network, go into airplane mode entirely. When that didn't do anything, I wiped my cache and dalvik and reflashed the rom. Nothing.

I remember reading people talking about flashing a new radio, and I read up on that last week, but I don't think I managed to get the right info I need. Right now, my phone is S-OFF, and I'm showing the baseband version as 10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07_2M. Can someone point me to a good place to find out how to update this?

Strangely enough too, after I wiped the cache and dalvik, my battery stats fell off a cliff. It went from 65 to 27 after reboot. :confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
Yep. Same thing. In following this thread previously, this sort of thing seems like it may be a bad flash. I'd recommend clearing out the caches and re-flashing to see if it resolves the connection.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

I updated my radio by flashing back to stock, doing an OTA update, and then flashing CM again. If I remember correctly, you have to revert to the stock recovery as well before the OTA worked, which frightened me, but S-OFF status remained, so I didn't have any problems flashing CM afterwards. I felt like I bumbled through the process, so if anyone has a good set of steps, it would be wonderful if they'd post them.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iceolate:
I cannot just download the zip file from the Development Reference and flash it in recovery?

Edit: After being on my wifi at home for an hour or so, I turned wifi off, and now the mobile network connection stayed. I still want to try to update the radio, because this happens frequently enough.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jcicora:
I'll try that. Its always a pain reflashing the inverted apps after that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
You might be able to just flash the Stock Wifi module you're looking for without disturbing your ROM. If you look in my signature you'll see Blue6IX's Development thread. If you will just click on that link it will take you to the live links from the original thread that are now broken. Once there go to post #4 and you'll find the modules. If by chance that doesn't straighten it out you CAN go back up to post #1 & at the bottom are the "return to stock" PG59IMG.zip files that will take you completely back to whichever version you like since you are S-Off.

Arch I was so shoping you were wrong. Wiped cache and dalvik and reflashed r7b only and that seems to do the trick. I'll miss my dark MMS app :( thanks for figuring it out!

Had the same prob on badosp
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
What kind of problem are you guys having with the inverted MMS? Is it just not sending pictures? I had that problem when I used any inverted MMS app back on Virtuous Inquisition. I solved this by replacing the mms_config.xml in the inverted MMS app with one from the working MMS that came with the ROM. It worked and allowed me to choose between several inverted MMS apps that I liked. If it's not sending pictures (gets stuck saying sending for a long time and may eventually time out) then it's worth a shot right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nicholasb:
I am experiencing a ton of SOD's (Screen Of Death). 5-10 times a day, i will have to pull my battery because the screen will not turn on.

Running r7b with standard kernel.

I will be redownloading and performing a complete flash today to see if that alleviates the issue.

Reboot

Okay I have been having a problem of my phone rebooting on me for no aparent reason for a long time now. As I have not scene others complain about this I figured it was my phone. I had two Anker batteries that were a bit old so I thought maybe its something with my batteries so I bouaght 2 new Ankers and I am still having the same problem. What I would like to know is how I pull the log files and if I can send them to someone to let me know if I have a software or hardware issue.

Regards,
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Are you running a custom kernel on it by chance. Overclocking &/or undervolting are two of the software culprits that come to mind whenever I hear of random reboots. That's they way mine will respond when getting too frisky with either option.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] IrefulSoul:
Wiped Davlik and cache, then reflashed [r5].

Everything is working now, (on r5)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
IF a custom kernel isn't involved you can take a look at This Thread to get you going on a logcat file.

New release: r8. It looks like the usb transfer speed bug is FIXED!

This release is a change in both the rom AND the kernel. See the first post for other changes.

Is wifi tether supposed to work?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:

No way to remove the double beeps lol! Well, that I've ever noticed... yeah, dude! S-off time! It's really easy if you follow the directions carefully.

Oh... one last thing... for the USB fix, you have to flash the entire rom and not just the kernel.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hellacopterous:
Is there a way to flash the boot.img kernel on an S-On device without usb? My MT4GS has a wonky usb connector, so it will charge, but the computer won't recognize it in bootloader, recovery, or normal operation.

Is there any way to flash the boot.img separately in the bootloader somehow by creating a PG59IMG.zip file containing that file to be flashed?

I tried using TWRP's Terminal Command feature to flash_image boot boot.img, but that didn't actually flash the image. I suppose it needs to be done in the bootloader via something like fastboot flash, but I'm wondering if there's an alternative.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] macksgarage:
just flashed r8-exp over r7b, (s-on, separate fastboot flash of new kernel. wiped cache and dalvik, left system and data intact. Works fine. USB transfer speeds still crappy. Probably have to wipe and see what happens.

Generally speaking, all I have to say is holy crap is this rom fast. and power efficient. Wow. my phone with a big fat 3500 mostly stays in the %90 range unless I'm out all day!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] abnormalreply:
is it normal for the phone to be awake this much? it's pretty consistent with every charge cycle, and there are no background tasks running. running r7b kernel + rom
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
I flashed r8 over r7b with just cache and dalvik cleared and usb transfer speed seems to be fixed for me. Very snappy. (Though the first time I connected, the phone rebooted.)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
Full wipe of /system, /cache, /data, and even /sdcard, then install r8 fresh with nothing yet (not even gapps). USB transfer seems much improved. I'm copying all my files back to /sdcard now, and it looks like writes are in the range of 2-6 MB/s, which is of course dependent on the particular microSD I've got also (cheapest 32GB card I could find, so not necessarily the speediest). I'll report again after I've played with the new release more.

Thanks so much for your continued efforts, scverhagen. This phone just keeps getting better and better.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Maybe try turning off your gps and see if it quits walking up so often to get a fix? That and wifi, but my wifi stays on a lot on other roms with little negative effect... The gps is ask that looks out of place to me at first glance...

Battery Drain

I haven't changed a single thing. GPS does drain battery, but it doesn't turn on any more than it used to. It's also not continuously on.

Last time I had a drain like this, it was swype keeping my phone awake to track my location. But now it's Android OS keeping the phone awake (7/10 hours on a charge). Which means something in the OS isn't letting the phone sleep. No other apps or processes show substantial or drastically different awake times.

abnormalreply has posted similar findings from his screenshots.

Can anyone else confirm?

The problem may be back...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
I've been on a charge cable the whole day, as I reinstalled my apps and such. I'll know by tomorrow whether I'm getting excessive drain. I do see my phone's been to deep sleep, but since I've been fiddling with it, I don't know if it's an appropriate proportion or not.

Did you do the experimental kernel when you flashed? I did stable, and about as clean a flash as I know how to do, reinstalled all apps through the stores and whatnot, rather than using a Backup program, and even pruned out settings folders on my sdcard for apps that I don't really have custom settings for. I've got high hopes for this install. As soon as I read the USB speed was good, I wanted to give it the best shot it's got. *crosses fingers*
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lifebound:
I just did a dirty flash (deleteing davlick and normal cache) without flashing the kernel, everything worked although the wifi was broken. I reflashed again and then flashed the kernel, this time it wasnt broken. Im still keeping my data from R7.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
No, I dirty flashed the whole r8. I know dirty flashes can be known to cause intermittent problems (borked wifi, sounds, data, etc), but this seems a bit out of the ordinary. Drains don't come out of nowhere, and this one appears to be doing just that... Worst part is can't even pinpoint whats causing it. All I know is, it's the android OS, according to battery stats
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
have you tried pulling a logcat
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lifebound:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
What will that do? The battery doesn't drain at specific points. Just overall
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
yeah i'm experiencing something weird. the phone is being kept awake (don't know by what yet, better battery stats will tell me tomorrow), but the battery doesn't seem to be draining heavily. very odd.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
Got about 7 hours of battery life with a stock battery with moderate usage. Also, phone did have deep sleep for about 50% of that duration. Seems about right to me. I did a full wipe before flashing though so wipe if you didn't do so before upgrading.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
you said android system is constantly draining your phone, why don't you see which process is constantly awake
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
I'm happy to report I have no battery drain issues. I unplugged when I left work yesterday, listened to music from the sdcard for about 4-5 hours, and then set the phone on the nightstand overnight. It was about 70%. This morning, it was 68% or so when I got up. This is just a stock battery, so that overnight preservation was key. it was in deep sleep for 10 hours all together, according to CPU Spy. Otherwise battery usage seems normal.

I have noticed applications crashing more than usual, but it's always when dealing with data on the sdcard, so I'm not ready to blame the ROM yet.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Ok, then I will try doing a fresh flash before pursuing this problem any further. I guess even dirty flashes can cause a battery drain.

Quite tempermental, considering I used to dirty flash nightlies on my G2 all the time
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] humanophile:
Here's hoping that solves the problem for you and we don't have to go digging deeper to find out what's different between our phones. : )
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
dirty flashes are frequently the culprit of many issues people report, especially when others aren't having the same issue, that should be the first test before a report. no offence but I just feel issues shouldn't be reported in developer threads without a complete clean install and some prior testing, usualy accompanied by a logcat.

and just plugging your phone into a computer running adb logcat should show you anything going on when phone is asleep

This is my first time updating my ROM since CM9 Alpha 5. I am now running r8.

I performed a clean reflash:

wiped 5x, wiped dalvik, flash, boot, wait 5 minutes, get to homescreen, wait 5 minutes, wipe cache/dalvik, flash titanium backup and gapps, boot wait 5 minutes and continued on my way

I haven't yet noticed issued with deep sleep, but I am having the same problem I had on my most recent flash of Alpha 5 where after a night of idling and charging i am unable to turn my screen on unless I reboot my phone. I assumed it was a bad flash of A-5 because a previous flash of it had no problem, but went through a very clean install process IMO for this rom.

Other than that it's running great so far!
