íf anyone has wifi issues, i found the root cause.

It's coming for the common kernel's updated bcmdhd wifi driver.

I've tried compiling the older version (from cm9 kernel), and it compiles and works as expected. it doesn't get stuck after a wifi dropout, but instead reconnects and works on further.

when i get there i'll release a new alpha with that fixed.

Re: [ROM][Official]MyTouch4G Slide CyanogenMod 10 2013-03-17 [Alpha 8] - 4.1.2

Hey guys. I just checked on my buddy's Relay 4g (stock ICS) and his play store version is 3.10.14. Not sure what that means, but I hope it helps.

Is there any way to install HALO on this official rom on our own without cooking a new rom?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
That would be nice but So far it it seems that Halo is only for paranoid Android roms...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _crAss_:
Paranoid has released the source code to developers. We have some ports of other roms for our phone based on CM10.1 like:

but from posts in those roms, they are not so stable as this rom is.

Of course I could cook a new rom based on the official and include HALO, but I asked if there was an easier approach to that since time is scarce currently.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
Basically no there isn't an easy way like make an apk (that's my understanding at least). There are some things that the framework uses. I say you can use carbon ROM port by weekendsr2short or jellykang

So with the battery issue (turns off at around 50%, esp when using camera flash) I re-flashed and reset the battery stats (when the battery charge was at 100%, doing this 3 (or more) times. It didn't work when I did it 2 times, but did 3 or more times. Now I don't have that issue anymore. :victory:

Just a little note for those others having that issue. Go to RECOVERY and Advanced; reset battery stats ;) :highfive:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] autojack:
Resetting battery stats does not change or help your battery life. Take it from an Android engineer:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT

"It has no impact on your battery life."
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Akkifokkusu:
I think in this case it's not so much battery life as the phone incorrectly reporting how much charge is left. So this could actually help with that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] killkillkill:
No it could not.

Period.

Fact.

End of discussion.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] autojack:
"It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you."

If you read that page, it makes it pretty clear. The batterystats.bin file provides the information about which apps have been using the most battery, which you can see in the System settings -> Battery view. It doesn't have anything to do with amount of charge left, real or imagined. "And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge..."
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
I didn't say it had any impact on my battery life, or had ANYTHING to do with my battery life... I, too, am an Android Engineer and a retired developer. I was merely putting it out there what solved the issue with my phone randomly restarting when the battery went below 58%

Correlation, maybe; coincidence, I doubt it.

:silly::good::cool:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _crAss_:
Has anyone experimented with the available governors that are available with the kernel included in this rom? If yes which one improves the battery life most while keeping the device usable?

Does anyone else have the issue that the power button sometimes does not lock the phone when you just woke it up and the lockscreen shows? However when I unlock it then the power button works as expected. Just not on the lockscreen sometimes.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Shani Ace:
I have to say, I'm really disappointed with this ROM. Usually you can count on official CM-Releases to be stable and bugfree, but this time it only causes stress.

Not only has my battery life decreased (actually that is the less annoying bug), but there are some other major issues:

- free RAM is about only 60-70MB, with the same apps installed it always had about 200-300 MB free with CM 9.1

- after unlocking the screen, often the phone opens up one of the apps on my homescreen, although I didn't clicked on it

- The calculator widget, which I had placed on my homescreen for a while (not anymore), appears on the lockscreen in a squished form. I didn't put it there and there is no way of removing it.

- Screen lock doesn't work properly. The device wakes itself up and bypasses the screen lock, several times a day I take my phone out of my pants and see random numbers typed in the telephone app or random chars typed in Google Keep.

BTW: I know it bypassed the lock because I changed the lock method from sliding the finger to drawing a rather complex pattern. Still the phone unlocked itself.

Once this bug even made the phone completely unusable, since it rebooted itself and then obviously typed in a wrong PIN-number by itself for three times. So I had to wait until I got home to unlock it with the PUK.

That's really a NO-GO!

If there isn't an update on his way to fix these major bugs, I've got no choice but to go back to 9.1... it's really sad to be excluded from CM10.1 after waiting so long for it. :(

Wtf is JellyKang? ;) No seriously, I looked at the thread, but it doesn't convince me. There too are people complaining about battery drain...

I just discovered the app "Lockscreen Policy", didn't know this one since I never used 4.2.2 before... maybe (or hopefully) it'll fix the bugs I had with the damn lock screen. :)

Still I don't get why I have so little free RAM... it literally slows down the system, loading the home screen and the widgets takes longer, music playback gets interrupted or winamp gets terminated by Android and so on...

hmm problem is with lock screen, but- when I'm calling- screen is going off- it's ok, but than when the call is still continues, and while holding in hand you can't end call, because screen is locked, or sometimes brightness is 0%, and can't do nothing with this.

Hi guys.

I really like this ROM but I'm having a problem with it that hopefully someone has a solution for.

When I go into Google Navigation the screen starts getting glitchy and sort of jumping up and down. When I go back to the home screen it stops. I also noticed some similar weirdness when using the panoramic camera.

Thanks for any suggestions, etc.

EDIT:

After some searching I've realized this is an known issue with Maps V7 on the MT4GS and CM 10.1.

Sorry for wasting anyone's time with this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] syzoogle:
I noticed for myself anyways. Sometimes when I go in expanded mode (no status bar and no navigation bar) I won't get the flicker or up and down issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] StodgyWaif:
I just uninstalled Maps V7 and went back to 6.14.4 (I had a backup of it).

Many people are complaining about V7's deletion of certain features anyhow.

If you want to use V7 you can try:

Developer Options > Disable HW Overlays

Seemed to work on my phone but from what I read this will reduce performance and battery life.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Galileo:
Sorry, but I just have to ask, is CM10 (Not CM10.1) still alive? Just curious, because frankly, I'd rather go with the less RAM hungry Android 4.1 than 4.2.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
Tho' I don't have plans to fix it, I've found two critical issues with my rom cm10.1 p21:

- you shouldn't use Ondemand governor, it causes full reboots on kernel level in the slab part. Instead use Interactive, set On boot in Performance menu. Its stable

- wifi driver is not stable in the kernel module bcmdhd, caused reboot when switching it off then later on. Instead use either wifi always on or off.

I couldn't find any other critical issue with the rom after two days of constant use. Sorry for the inconvenience. With these in mind the rom didn't produce any other reboots here.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
I had some nasty reboots in the past that I (seemingly) fixed with setting the min (384) and max (1296) frequencies. Haven't used it continuously much these days (mostly as an MP3 player), but I have made the switch to Interactive for good measure :D

I don't fiddle with the wifi, so I figured I was safe in that regard, but then I remembered I have the Deep Sleep battery saver installed, which does a lot of switching. Will have to keep watch I guess, or just leave wifi off altogether (not that I need it for how I use the device now). Settled for the latter.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
I don't think anyone can try to revive this anymore. I was going to give the old college try (with the device tree made/posted on github by [MENTION=2878915]SilverL[/MENTION]) but alas, when I went to pull the CM10 branch off CyanpgenMod's github, it is no longer there. :(

May still play with the device tree in the near future, but CM10 won't be one of the goals.

P.S. Sorry for digging up an old post.

Hey tbalden,

I'm not sure what is going on with my installation. I did the following:

Make nandroid backup

Cleared data/cache

installed Alpha 8

installed gapps

rebooted

go through google installation

reboot in recovery

installed google play without update

reboot

Installed Carbon (app sync and backup) to be able to restore apps but it crashes on startup

Installed Titanium backup try to restore some apps but it keeps in the installing screen. It won't restore anything. It is getting root rights. It could re-install my device-id.

Tried installing the rom twice in the same manner.

So i'm glad that i have 3 backups (nandroid, Carbon and Titanium) (better safe than sorry) but only the nandroid option seems to work.

Never had any problems with other roms with Titanium or Carbon.

Any idea what might be wrong? Anything i can do to help finding the bug?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
You need to wipe data and system also
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nldroid:
The option in ClockworkMod Recovery is named 'wipe data/factory reset'. That is what i did. It also deletes cache but i used the option 'wipe cache partition' too to be sure.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
im using titanium backup myself, but it so far worked well. maybe it's related to SuperUser. I'll check wiping superUser apps data to see if TB can startup.

EDIT:

i've tested cleaning SuperUser data, and cleaning TB app data, and it works just fine.

Could you please post a logcat when the crash happens with Carbon. Is logcat stuck neverending with TB, no crash?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
Alpha 9:

Installer: http://d-h.st/Q0x

Changelog:

- synced to upstream (March-20)

- added legacy wifi driver (bcmdhd) to common kernel, fixing doubleshot wifi issues (should be as it was with alpha2, where cm9 kernel's bcmdhd driver was used)

- added Thermal service back to kernel into common kernel, as thermald blob doesnt work on cm10 with common kernel

- fixed default max freq to 1.2Ghz when you install on a clan wipe. Use SystemSettings/Performance/Processor menu to set your preferred max/min freq, and tick Set on boot to let it stick. (Possible oc up to 1.5Ghz)

This should give a fairly stable build of cm10, and all changes were merged to the official repositories (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_msm8660/commits/jellybean and https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_doubleshot/commits/jellybean)

Next builds are going to be beta builds if everything seems to be stable for everyone.

Great work on this dude! Appreciated. I'm still having an issue with playstore updating itself and then FCing.

I'll flash Alpha 9 this evening (CET) and retry.

TB doesn't crash. The wheel keeps spinning and nothing happens. Tried restoring from the TB backup itself and from the nandroid backup from within TB.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

For some reason, you'll have to re-apply the noupdate after the first boot. That helps for me.

Re: [ROM][Official]MyTouch4G Slide CyanogenMod 10 2013-03-20 [Alpha 9] - 4.1.2

Hmm..could you try in terminal emulator, typing su? I'm curious if it will pop up the su dialog correctly.

Added to original post, the no update play store instructions, to apply it after first gapps boot...I did the same but wasn't sure whether simply flashing it after gapps worked, but its not enough now we know. Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nldroid:
Tried Alpha 9 and got same result.

For Carbon it seems something to do with with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.os.UserManager

logcat: http://pastie.org/6642162

No luck installing anything either. Normal app restore keeps spinning. Importing an XML for phone log gives this:

You're probably just flashing over older Alpha's right? Maybe there's something in old versions that's not in 8 or 9..

Anyone tried a clean flash of Alpha 8/9?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
Carbon is not compatible with 4.1 then, as 4.1 doesnt have that class, only 4.2 android. i'll try a clean install, and will try newer version of non-updating Play store.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nldroid:
Hmm. I thought something like that so i checked before bugging you. My current rom is 4.1.2 (Pacman 19.1.0) and it works on that. Maybe they did some hacks to fake some newer functions.

My play store version on this ROM is 3.10.14 b.t.w.

[EDIT]

I see indeed that this class is from Api level 17: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/UserManager.html

And that API level is starting from 4.2: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels

But API level 16 ends with 4.1.1 and this ROM is 4.1.2.

Maybe that's why the Play store is updating itself too..?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
I think it must be some kind of confusion in google's versioning strategy.

Strange thing is, i used 4.1.2 for quite some time (alpha2), and

4.1.2 is out since long ^ "Android 4.1.2 rolling out for Nexus 7". The Verge. 9 October 2012. Retrieved 9 October 2012.

and Play Store only started recently to update itself to an incompatible version.

I think they overlooked something :( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.1_Jelly_Bean_.28API_level_16.29

As for Pacman, can you point me to their github? I'd check if the framework were hacked or what else. thanks.

This is rather annoying, also Carbon shouldn't let itself install if it's uncompatible.

Tho i think that it might contain some api level checking and maybe it doesnt use those methods that require those 4.2 classes to be on classpath.

That's not too informative. If i switch off Wifi/mobile data and syncing, it last a lot more here. What's on / off, what apps running etc., how many times is the phone awake, what wakelocks are present for how long (betterybatterstats can help in that).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Dukenukemx:
The phone is pretty much a clean install with apps like Facebook, Amazon, and Ebay downloaded, but never setup. They auto download when I install a clean rom. I didn't even change the ringtone. Wifi wasn't on, and neither was bluetooth. I did have Nova installed, and 1Tap Quick Bar.

I could reproduce the issue with Titanium Backup! :(

And couldn't find a fix...so far i tried to check Google Play Store comments, and found some SGS3 comments about inability to Restore, only backup working...

I'm trying System Tuner at the moment, but it will only backup/restore All apps in the pro version, and i havent buought/tried that yet. :|

Maybe a generic TB problem... i just can't see why it suddenly doesn't work...yet...any ideas appreciated

I just installed Alpha 9, clean install on a judiciously wiped phone, along with gapps. Booted, let it sit for about 20 minutes while I did some other things, flashed the no-update Play Store, restored a few apps with Titanium Backup (I use the free version so it is an app-by-app restore), installed all Google apps from Play Store (like Maps, Voice, Google+). This runs so smooth! I'm very impressed. So far I have only encountered one problem that I've not been able to find a solution to: the Foursquare app refuses to run. Immediately on start it FCs. I've uninstalled, wiped its cache/data, doesn't help. But every other app I've started runs great. I'll let it run for a day or two to see how it does on battery.

Oh, is there a camera app that has HDR? I noticed the builtin app looks nice, works fine (except the noted panorama preview) but I don't see any HDR option. I use the HDR a lot, as this phone has builtin hardware HDR processing (that's what the stock app uses).
