[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
Thanks for the input. I think stabilizing CM10 / 4.1.x is an obvious decision too, I thought it was worth conversation as having 'goals' or 'focus' helps things get done. I have reverted to a restore from about six days ago from the same alpha 3 release in this thread, so I can continue isolating issues mainline. I will shift gears back to CM10 for now on the Doubleshot (which remains my daily phone for now).

I will eventually release CM 10.1 / 4.2.x stuff. I am a bit ahead of the curve with it working as much as it is on the HTC MSM8660, and a decent amount of the hacking I did to get it working is not mainline. It's a bunch of hacking I did over a two day span, largely from reviewing other progress from other devices. It helps that the new kernel in the CM10 builds I released (in alpha 2/3) is cleaner and more functional (in my usage).

The CM10 work released here is also important and should not be skipped because it was the best effort yet to mainline the Doubleshot in CyanogenMod build release cycles. It was the initial and working efforts, largely from intervigil, to clean up the htc msm8x60 kernels and device/vendor trees (he deserves that credit). Merging the base Doubleshot in to htc msm8660-common kernel and device trees took some hacking, and we basically re-invented the wheel twice to get it right.

It would be best for me to focus my time on CM10 for the continuance of Doubleshot builds beyond the 4.2.x releases.

I really don't know how much longer I can continue to support this phone, I have had my Khaki one for 18 months and I need to move on to some other projects... and soon. I am co-maintainer for the Nexus 10 in CM, and I would like to help hack up the Relay 4g/SGH-T699/apexqtmo as much as possible when time allows. More importantly, my career requires I venture on to other things besides embedded device porting in my spare time. It's quite time consuming on this device, and I have been at this a while.

For what it's worth, the hotness is going into CM 10.1 as far as feature sets and enhancements. Some of the new 4.2.x features like Daydream are great on the Doubleshot if you happen to own a dock like I do. Finally a rewarding reason to have bought the HTC dock. Also the screen flickering in panorama seemed lessened, and the new Camera software is cool... and excitingly for us Doubleshot users -- it works right now. Hopefully it continues to work. I am keeping a backup of the build I made from a few days ago when I recorded that youtube video, because I was stunned how well it works.

This seems pretty exciting. Honestly, if the wifi issue from the last alpha was able to be isolated, I would have no problems with being able to use this for awhile. I reverted back to 1b, and the first thing that happened was the phone went to sleep and I had to pull the battery in the morning. good thing I woke up on time! i use it as an alarm for work :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work, and when you finally have to move on to other projects it will be a sad day for the device, but leaving behind a legacy that includes a solid foundation and all your source, as you've always done, will cement your status as a slide4g legend and no doubt others will continue the effort in your place.

Highly looking forward to 10.1 but 10 has (and remains) a pleasure to use.

Best to take it slow and steady, can't rush the flower's bloom.

Lower Latency boot.img

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I've even posted anything, let alone made any kind of development contribution, but I have something new for everyone.

I noticed an article today about a fix for Android lag that 'wasn't really.' Some more investigation into the links posted in the article revealed that there were some TRUE fixes (as to where the article's 'fix' was not really a fix, more of a workaround). I've implemented these patches into our kernel for use on Cyanogenmod 10 Alpha 3.

They are:

Primary (Most likely to help): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265#c107

Secondary (possible help): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265#c162

Bonus (not likely to help, but it sounded like a reasonable idea): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265#c139

For people just wanting to test the kernel improvements, you can download the boot.img from http://nickbetcher.com/downloads/llboot.img. To flash it you have to use:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot llboot.img

If someone wants to make a flashable zip, knock yourself out - I'm too lazy. :P

I really would like people to test every aspect of this patched kernel out and report back with their outcomes if possible. What I've noticed it help with the most is responsiveness under heavy load.

Enjoy.

Kornyone your work on jellybean is exceptional in my opinion . To you and other great developers out there... the android community is definitely thankful for your efforts and time put into these ROMs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
I was trying to get the latest AOKP built and as I said before it only boots to a blank screen. I know you suggested the init, but I changed all I could. I found out that 4.2 may need to utilize a different kernel all together. Can you point me to any of the specific areas that need to be changed in the kernel?

Also kornyone, do you know if theres any way to make the keyboard button fixes global? Using alternative keyboard software causes... problems. The leds still work but no longer indicate properly.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seansc144:
My oovoo tango and Skype isn't functioning does anyone else have this problem
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PrinceMorganti:
Question for you folks.

Is anyone else having issues with the hardware alt/shift keys not working in browser based input boxes?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah it's known to have issues in JB.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PrinceMorganti:
Good to know. it is annoying to have to close the phone to enter passwords, but hopefully it gets squared away :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
If you hold the shift or salt button down while pressing the desired key it should work
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PrinceMorganti:
It is testy. it works on some web forms and not others... alt doesn't work at all in the default text messenger... its not that big a deal there, just wanted to make sure it was a known issue...and see if it was something i did or not :)

~D~
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
Never worked for me within the browser. I've had this implemented in the AOKP rom for a while.

Should work in the default messenger. If you've changed from the stock software keyboard... things go... wrong.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] flammjager:
hi!

problem with phisical keyboard, dont work alt key and shift key in google navigator. dont work notification alt/shift key light too

anyone?

----- CHANGES -----

Build 20130101 -- Alpha 3

Changes:

- Kernel rebase found in Alpha 2

- Fixes to the camera preventing the locking issue. Camera should be solid again!

- Contains functional Alt/Shift key LEDS, working www./.com button

- Restructured 'blobs' files, such as mpdecision and htcbatt.

(I have found improved battery statistics and usability with the blob changes.)

Happy New Year!

Bugs

* Chrome and Panorama Camera PREVIEW continues to be a little glitchy graphically, I have been told this is a common MSM8660 issue. They both still work, but it's annoying visually.

* Please report your results, and if you can capture /proc/last_kmsg when it happens, it would be hugely appreciated!

Historical

Build 20121222 -- Alpha 2

Changes:

This build has a somewhat new kernel base, as it's from a more up to date AOSP source which tbalden used when he ported our v2.6 kernel to v3.0 earlier in the year. It is a work in progress, but complete enough to warrant a release and more testing.

Build 20121121 -- Second public alpha (V 1.01)

- Upstream CM10 changes. No other large changes of note from previous 20121103 build pertaining to Doubleshot.

Build 20121121 (Alpha 1):

- Jellybeans!!1

- Updated kernel base to v3.0.48.

- Updated keylayout. NEEDS MORE WORK.

Please note flashing someone else's kernel may ruin your experience with this rom and I advise against it. This rom was a joint effort between kornyone & tbalden. A LOT of core works for msm8660 was put in by many CM Team members, and much of our work is based on their: toastcfh, Kali-, Kmobs, Bumblebee, cretin45, and all of the rest of CM!

A personal shoutout (THANKS!) is due to these individuals for their dedication to the HTC Doubleshot:

Stefan Seidel, Pál Zoltán Illés, and thanks to scverhagen of Github for keeping the kernel maintained!

THANKS to intervillium/intervigil for keeping the common HTC MSM8660 AOSP kernel up to date so many of our HTC MSM8660 phones are based on now in the Open Source community!

You can get all of the Doubleshot source from the following URLs:

TeamDS Github

CyanogenMod source is available from CyanogenMod Github

Have you changed from the stick android software keyboard?

I know the keys give problems when I have any other keyboard software in use(swift key, go keyboard, etc) I've been using the same exact code used for those functions in my AOKP port.

If they just arent doing what they should be or lights arent turning on at all. Then its something else.

What language do you have set as default on the phone?

What software keyboard is installed?

Do you have these problems on any other ROMs?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] flammjager:
SlideIT was working until last week. i pulled off it thinking could be a reason of vas working... i use spanish language...

first rom.. with dolphin browser working all ok with aosp and slideit keyboard.. without slideit phisical keyboard work ok with dolphin

problem of dolphin i cant see videos...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] flammjager:
After factory reset... any change...

reinstalling ROM works ok.. but at this moment fails again only at google browser.. programs works fine... i do not install any keyboard program

works fine at adress tab but does not at when i am writing this post
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
Yes, the way the code is implemented its only specific to android only areas. Essentially texts fields within webpages are out of that range they are managed by the web rendering engine... in this case webkit... at least thats the only way I can explain it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pyro9219:
Missing "Three Bar" icon in the top right corner when I swipe down the system tray? Any idea why this is missing, or how to get it back? I'm not sure when I lost it, been traveling too much the last two weeks. I just noticed it's missing, and without it, there are a few notifications I can't clear out unless I restart the device which is kinda annoying.

I'm running the latest build from the first post if that matters.

EDIT: Okay, before I get hammered, I know that I can flick each one to the side to clear them, but I'd prefer to have the one click clear all button, especially for times when 20 apps all decide to update on my device at once.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
sigh have to go back to alpha 2 cuz of wifi functionality (and i think scverhagen's kernel worked it, i don't remember). the updates in alpha 3 aren't important to me. can't wait for the wifi to be fixed!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
Hi all,

I have dropped off for a while. I have some serious health issues, which I am not yet past. I hope to get back to this before long, but a break is in order.

Take care man.

Hey Kornyone, take your time. You've done a lot for us already.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mojoffdawal:

Does this work on 1.45 (new hboot) S-ON/Unlocked? or does the device need to be S-OFF?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Do$:
It's working, I've installed it at new hboot and with S-ON

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I've a very big power consumption at this ROM. I'm not using Wi-fi, only 2G network and the power consumption is very high.

Please advice, is there any patch for this?

Moreover, is it possible to install low-voltage Kernel at this ROM, will it work?

Maybe U can recommend, what is the most battery-economy ROM.

Tx in advance for your answers
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
Yes it is. But we don't have a choice. All the other JB ROMs are based on this one and it's a great fully fuctional ROM. I'm going to try an Anker 1900Mah and see if it will bring the noticeable defference.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Anker won't help at all, JellyBean and the DOUBLESHOT have the worst battery life I have ever seen.

Remember when ICS was like this? And it took tons of heavy lifting to get it right, and now we need the same thing. Imagine every Google update doubleshot users are going to have to overcome this horrible battery bug.

I've had my doubleshot close to a year now and I have became used to the phone, but I still do not like the device ( more so hate it ) and I think HTC/T-Mobile dropped the ball on this thing.

I guess at least we can change batteries unlike my next device, but ill no longer have to wait and wait and wait for something to come/get right. I don't even think ill root my N4 :D.

Anyways I know korny had been working on a CM10.1 for us then got sick and released for another device so I'm wondering if we will ever even see it due to our devices bugs list.

*more so just sick and ranting but its all true*
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
while the battery is an issue, for me, using alpha 2 with a scverhagen kernel (using pegasusq governor) has gotten me a lot of more battery life
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
There are to many camera bugs past a1. I think a2 is a faster version overall, but the WiFi and Camera issues aren't worth more battery. I have 3 ankers one is in my pocket at all times the other one is on charge and the 3rd runs me when I'm on JB.

When I'm on ICS its hard to tell what battery I forgot to charge because battery life don't suffer at all on CM9. So I know when I change batteries I'll have a few days before I'll need all 3 charged again
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
I love this device for being unique, still with a good performance (latest games run well) and one of the best cameras on smartphones (comparing to not only 2011 but 2012 also) and of course the keyboard. But the software support is killing this great device. I don't see any other device I would trade it for. Relay 4g? I don't think so. With only about 30% performance gain and much worse camera it's not worth it. I would really love to see a fully functional CM11 with KLP on Doubleshot some time later as it promises to bring another major improvements and new features but I'm not sure if Kornyone will support it till that time (although he said that there are 2 DS in his family, the first is his and the 2nd is his wifes, so there's still a little chance). Also I've heard that 1080p has been fixed on Sensation that probably makes it possible to be fixed on DS but I might be wrong as I'm not a developer. So let's hope for the better.

Anyways I'm going to keep this device and use it for some more time. I would wait for Snapdragon 800 devices and some better cameras and if there's any chance there will be produced a high-end device with keyboard and a medium size screen (like Doubleshot) at least not bigger than 4"-4.3".
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sheybklyn:
delete this post. This was completely in the wrong section.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
well i, like you, prefer handsets with a physical keyboard. Here in europe they don't exist anymore, the last one on the market was the xperia pro i think, so i had to get a doubleshot shipped from the US all the way here to italy to get a decent qwerty phone.

Unfortunately, qwerty sliders are being phased out even in the US so there's a chance there will never be a (much) better specced phone than the doubleshot/relay 4g.

This means that i will probably stay with the doubleshot for a long time, and i like it and its a nice phone, but gingerbread is getting old and despite the efforts of our awesome devs (kornyone being the first) anything besides stock-based roms is full of bugs and not really worth using (imho).

what i would really like to do is try and get myself into the rom development, but what has stopped me from doing so until now is that there is NO information on where to start. Even setting up a proper environment for compiling can be very frustrating, and even when you are ready to go, despite the openness of the OS and the plethora of devs there is absolutely no information on where to start looking for things, guidelines etc.

this is what i don't like about the current situation. devs do stuff but don't tell anybody what they did and how, and most importantly where. my time is limited and i can't possibly "re-invent the wheel", not this time around.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
Try the search feature. There are tons of guides on development
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
here is a good place to start:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661770

fully agree that the MT4GS is a great device. Starting to show its age a bit, but fantastic camera, and overall solid hardware (and no decent alternatives) ensures that many of us will be on this device for a long time. Hard to give up that keyboard...

The rom in this thread is pretty solid with a few specific exceptions, but if these exceptions are not to a functionality that is important, this is a very nice daily driver IMO. None of the non-gingerbread ROMs are perfect, as no non-stock roms have completely solved all the proprietary HTC device driver issues, such as camera, but there are still some very good ones.

Hopefully you can help solve some of these lingering issues!! :good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
thanks for the link but that is not what i meant.

for example, some time ago i downloaded the cm9 source and gave it a try, i managed to successfully compile everything and then wanted to start fixing something "easy" like the keyboard leds.

i started looking at the kernel source, i had no idea where i should look so i guessed. i found some stuff about leds but didn't see anything blatantly wrong so either the problem wasn't there or i had to understand more about how led notifications works in android.

i then googled much but didn't find anything relevat apart from the official google guide for porting android to devices which is... not available anymore because it was outdated so they decided to remove it altogether.

i then dropped the ball as i saw kornyone was already working on cm10. but that's what i meant, not repackaging and stuff like that

actually there are more serious issues than the ones reported which are somewhat trivial, for example:

-pressing hardware keys seems to hog the cpu for some reason. it is not noticeable when typing a message, but it is when for example you play with an emulator... you press the keys and it starts to choke, you use touchscreen hud and it is smooth. i suspect this could be very tricky/problematic to fix, anyway its a showstopper for me

-there are some graphical issues with some applications, for example some emulators (md.emu for example) and some other software (like flash) shows a black screen with occasional garbled lines. i suspect this could be a pretty though thing to fix, probably driver related, dunno.

-with low battery (15-20%) it happened that the phone didn't wake up from sleep, i had to pull the battery to get it working again

these are some of the things not yet reported that i found out when i tried the rom so well, it is a no go for me. yet i am not complaining, it is still awesome work by an awesome (though really unlucky :D ) dev
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
Oh, I see what you mean, and as far as I know there is no good place to find this type of info (somewhat device or ROM specific). I agree that it is a hindrance to development, like you said, as it requires everyone to reinvent the wheel each time.

Hopefully Kornyone will squeeze out CM10.1 sometime soon, as it seems he had a solid framework working, and there are quite a few good ICS roms out there, although they all seem to have various quirks.

As for me, I'm hoping to get another two years use out of this device (knock wood). I'm guessing I'll be forced to abandon a hw keyboard with my next phone, as they seem to be going the way of the dinosaur...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sheybklyn:
Im using this rom right now, seems to be the better of the previous ones I have tried, and I use this as my daily. But then again, I knew this when I bought it. I knew it was going to be in "abandon" mode soonby the Devs, being as there are prettier devices to be playing with, which most Devs get for nothing these days, so yeah, focus is long gone I am sure.

I seen a post somewhere kornyone said he was takin a break, not to sure how long ago that was, or even where I seen it, but I did.

All still, nice ROM, would love to see it completed. But chances are real slim I would think. As I know of, there is not a single 100% ICS orJB ROM out there for this device, and this seems to be the closest yet.

Thanks Devs for all your work, its appreciated. And if I havent clicked something like "thanks" buttons, then call me out, I'll click em...

[-- My Experience for dev purposes--]

- Panoramic Shot garbaled during process, but shot seems to be dead on.

- No one got 1080p c'cording working yet, so I wont consider that a bug at the moment.

- Funny things happen when battery is below 20%. As they happen I will post em.

- Simple Mobile APN is wrong, at least for me, works better on TMo APN.

- Back button (top one, not on the keyboard.) does not work when USB Cable/Charger is plugged in. (sometimes, might be hardware issue..)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Thurge:
I'm confused. I installed this rom over 4 hours ago and I'm still on the CyanogenMod logo. I am S-ON. I flashed the boot.img via fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then I flashed the zip file with clockwork recovery. So far I get this really nice boot animation. I feel like I have an animated paperweight. What gives? I'm scared to pull the battery. Should I just wait it out or what?

EDIT

Okay failed to wipe. Nice very nice so far.
