Thoughts on 1.9

Good

Buttery smooth like 1.6 was.

Unnecessary apps are removed.

Good CM apps are included (DSP Manager works fine for me from a clean wipe)

Boot Box app is pretty cool!

PIE Customization is amazing.

Nice inclusion of privacy guard.

RAM definitely seems to be doing better. Chrome runs like it should now.

And it's all under 130 MB, that's crazy!

The long list of things I mentioned about 1.8 all seem to be fixed!

Major Issues

Pressing the halo button in the notification drawer makes SystemUI go into an infinite crashing loop. Luckily I was in settings so I could disable HALO

HDR option in camera still missing. Must be that Slim didn't put it in? CM camera had/has it

Superuser is in both advanced options on in main settings menu

Small Issues/Personal Annoyances, don't have to fix

Exchange in Email app doesn't work right. For one, in the email app its not even an option when setting up email. In the settings app when you go to add a corporate account it can't retrieve server info.

Lockscreen customization got moved to inside Security. It should be under Interface or its own Settings item.

Maybe the LED options should be moved from display to something else?

cLock widget on lock screen doesn't properly show summarized information when minimized.

Hardware button options in both interface and lock screen settings don't allow changes for the search button.

Other/Feature Requests

Focal App Update: CM team is only making it for android 4.3/CM-10.2, but they say it can be built for 4.2/CM10.1. They're just not going to bake it into the 10.1 builds. This probably won't be an issue if/when this ROM goes to 4.3 (Hopefully soon ;))

Can you add the cool battery bar PIE thing from PA?

Overall, amazing as always! Thanks for your hard work!

Look first day and the ROM hadn't even settled in yet.:)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] meerez:
I'm really excited to flash this rom tomorrow, just waiting to get my laptop back just in case. Quick questions that ill check back for before flashing tomorrow after noon. 1. Should I clean flash or can I dirty install this over 1.8? 2. Does anyone know if this fixes the reboot when downloading torrents. Usually happens when more then one torrent is downloading (writing to sd card issue?) I see that chrome is running great again so that answers my other question. 3. Does anyone know if tango is fixed? Or a fix for it? (Is it a kernal issue?) 4. Last I noticed that when the screen goes black most apps sleep like for example my torrent program slows and or stops downloading when the screen is off. Is this something I can fix? Thank you to anyone who can help me on any of these questions. I know its a lot but I figured now would be the best time to ask since so many knowledgeable people are stopping by due to the update :) Also and as always THANK YOU SO MUCH wild for keeping up mytouch development! You truly are the best, and save me from having to get a new phone! I love your ROMs and really only use yours since I know they are top quality! I down know much about this kind of stuff, only been doing it with phones for 3 years now, but if I can do anything to help you or the community please let me know. You rock!

Should google services be draining you 25% of your battery? (or 1.5% of total battery per hour?)

Great ROM !!

I really do agree..:victory:

This ROM is awesome, smooth, feature and customization rich, more stable, and beautiful :o , i didn't find major issue yet..

I'll give input if i find any issue...

Thank you Wild,

One must try ROM for MT4GS ....

Well my first night with 1.9 did not go right at all... nearly 100% battery drain during my sleep with very little "awake" time reported. I must disclose that the USB cable I use to charge my phone overnight doesn't fit the phone perfectly and CAN disconnect/reconnect, which might have spawned this. If you (XMC) believe that to be the case then please ignore me.

Thanks so much for this ROM. It's running so nicely for me otherwise.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
your phone wasn't plugged in while you were sleeping correct?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
It was plugged in, but my cable may have been faulty and not maintaining a connection for charging.

Alright, minuscule progress on 4.3 today:

I've got my device tree compiling with Evervolv

@xmc wildchild22 could you please make sure to include the "exchange2.apk" in the next build? it's missing in 1.9. took a quick look at this rom's /system/app compared to silverL's CM build.

Jellykang has just "email.apk"

CM has "email2.apk" and "exchange2.apk"

the email2.apk is just a tad smaller, i don't think it means anything. but that missing exchange2.apk is important.

thank you!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
2-3 bars all night shouldnt drain the battery like that. either way we can ignore my results unless anything similar happens again to anyone else

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
are you s-on? If so you have to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Soooo, about the new ideas for tweaks...well, I got nothing

You've implemented everything I began to love when I tried some of the S 1 ROMs (the shortcuts in the notification drawer was and is my favourite xD)

Yet one question: is there a way to change the dpi in specific apps (I would only change it in the browser, cus I think in tablet mode it is much better...just my thoughts though)

Oh, also: what about the symbols on the hw SYM button? Once you implemented many symbols and now its just 12 again, what happened? :/

Edit: I just tried the physical keyboard changer (aaaaawesome idea BTW!) But somehow the extra signs like the numbers and $ and so on get disabled (also I couldn't find control for changing the language)

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
OK so this ROM was a lot better when I first flashed it...its gotten a lot slower after actually using it. Idk I'll have to try a different 4.2.2 ROM to confirm. Is it just me or do we need some 4.3 TRIM support lol

Wow really? Thats weird....anyone else experiencing this? Also what kernel are you using?

I'll see what I can do
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Is anybody able to lock mobile connection to one provieder? Like t-mobile, at&t (or in my case A1)? Cus I can't :/

Could be like the data flashing on off issue. do you have an old sim card? Does it only happen on this ROM?

Built in wild kernel. Also seeing too much battery usage when on WiFi..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Had the same SIM in galaxy S, ther I could lock it to A1 without a problem (on stock ROM, and 4.2.2) on the mytouch I am pretty sure to remember it beeing able in the r11 4.0 ROM

This is a great ROM. Just found this thread a few days ago and flashed 1.9 as a clean flash.

The only issue I've seen is with charging. I charge the phone all night with the AC charger and that should easily put me at full charge in the morning. When I wake up, the phone still shows charging and only 50-75% charged, but if I disconnect from the charger and reboot, then it shows fully charged.

I've noticed no other weirdness and it seems very solid. Thanks for your efforts.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
Is it just a cosmetic issue or is the system really only seeing 580mb of ram?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
woah I just noticed that, system only appears to have 580mb but our phone should have .75gb
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
Our phone just like Sensation has 768Mbs of RAM in total but the available RAM for system is only 580-581Mbs. The rest is reserved for gpu and some other hardware unless the things have been changed now.

Aww that's too bad. Almost 200mb for hardware...damn.

The mytouch 4g gets around 680mb, and it also has 0.75gb physical. No wonder it manages to run so smoothly
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] josh2020glacier:
I have a mytouch 4g and mytouch 4g slide and I must say speed is close but the dual 1.2 processor makes the mytouch 4g slide just a tad smoother. 1 thing that I did notice with mytouch 4g is the more ram the dev gave the more laggy the phone actually got. Easy way to clear this up is talking to tdj or awesome they will def provide an answer. Matter fact ima p.m. them now. Or just make a test build with more ram and see how it runs.

ROM works great, but I am having an extreme battery discharge. I have a new battery, when fully charged I am lucky to pull off 10 hours with no usage. WiFi is on and cell signal is about 2-3 bars. I have tried clearing cache etc to no avail. No real smoking gun shows up in the usage display.

Anyone one else dying with the battery life, or is it just me? This is about 1/3 of the battery life I had previously.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
Dud you change anything in performance? Is the battery drain on standby or on use? And what were you using before this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] id09542:
I was using a 9.1 ROM before. I am using the default perrfomance that the ROM is set to use.

The majority of the usage via CPU Spy shows 96 Mhz, very little Deep Sleep.

The drain is on standby.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
if its not going into deep sleep you have some sort of app holding a wakelock, did you restore all your apps from 9.1? And ICS appears to always have better life then JB 4.2 (at least in all the roms I've tried)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:

Recent Flash Issues

First, thanks so much for making a JB ROM for this hardware. Yours is the first one I managed to get past a bootloop on, so yay for upgrading from GB to JB!

I am overall liking the upgrade to JB very much, but I am having some issues that I am not sure if they are because of the ROM or just something I did funky as I was poking at the zillion new settings. :-J

1: While my GPS status app says the GPS has fixes on 4-6 satellites, the phone still doesn't seem to be able to work out my location. Sounds to me like maybe it doesn't know what to do with the info from the satellites. Is there anything I can/need to do to remedy this? I need a fairly reliable GPS, as I use my phone for a lot of location-relevant apps and geocaching. I can live without the geocaching for a while, but not some of the other stuff.

2: I use CloudList to keep track of grocery lists, and it thinks it is syncing, but no lists are added. Could this be a security setting thing, or should I just bug the app dev?

3: The Google Voice Voicemail Inbox Widget (which was really the only aspect of GV I use) seems not to be included in the latest Gapps for 4.2.2, or somehow disabled by this ROM. I have no clue how to tell which, or how to get it back, which is fairly important to me. Any suggestions?

I'm sure I'll bump into some other stuff as I go. So far, my only other issue is just a question- when the Mobile Data thing says "H", that's 4G, yes?

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
That widget I assume would come with the Google voice app from the play store...

Also the H is for HSPA+, which is T-Mobile version of 4g when this phone came out
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
I realize I am a couple weeks late on this reply but I only today saw this post:

I concur. I use Exchange ActiveSync to get my work e-mail on my phone. I don't absolutely have to have it, but it beats the living snot out of using the webmail interface through the phone's browser (which takes about three times as long and ten times as much effort). I occasionally have reason to snap a photo of equipment and e-mail them to my boss and I don't like using personal e-mail for work.

.

This and some issues in Maps (the lack of voice turn-by-turn navigation and that funky graphic overlay issue) were the only MAJOR things I noticed with this ROM -- at least I think these issues were on JK -- and it's pretty much daily driver for me otherwise. Lots of nice features, respectable footprint, smooth.

I'm currently trying the other JB ROM, uhm... Carbon-JB-Unofficial... and while it seems nice there are some small but annoying bugs with it (revolving around keyboard, status bar, and lack of update to the main thread for this port), as well as things I like about JellyKang more and I will be returning to JellyKang today.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
It just occurred to me I didn't directly answer anitgandhi, so, yes, I've noticed that behavior too...

ADB Lolcat seems to be indicating the Exchange intent does not exist:

D/Email ( 1742): Begin auto-discover for mydomain\myusername@mycompany.webmailserver.org
W/ActivityManager( 488): Unable to start service Intent { act=com.android.email.EXCHANGE_INTENT } U=0: not found

And then again, after I checked the "Accept all certificates" box (required where I am):

D/Email ( 1742): Begin check of incoming email settings
W/ActivityManager( 488): Unable to start service Intent { act=com.android.email.EXCHANGE_INTENT } U=0: not found

So is that something that has to be compiled into the kernel or as a module? If it's a module, maybe we can snag it from one of the other ROMs if that's kosher.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
no i found out its cuz exchange2.apk isn't in the rom, i let xmc know :P

i extracted exchange2 and email2 apks from some other rom and it works fine

Oh, goodie, it's even easier to do, then! Thanks a bunch!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Saem persun:
Some of my apps stopped updating via the market. When I'm trying to update I got 'Insufficient storage space' for most of them. But just a couple of them updated OK.

I have 120+Mb of free space. Titanium restore seems buggy as it runs endlessly.

Tried to google and found a solution to clear odex files in /data/app but was none of them there. Anybody knows how to fix it?

Also, I experienced the 'robotic sound' bug during the call on this rom a few times.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
Are you able to install new apps through the market? If not, that sounds like a pretty common android bug unrelated to the ROM. Usually you need to clear the play stores saved data on the phone.

The robotic sound is something I have occasionally experienced for a long time on this phone as well. Sometimes it can sound like Aphex Twin and scare the heck out of me late at night.

I've still been experiencing my launcher crashing on 1.9. I think I didn't experience it at all before 1.8. Also, new on 1.9 I frequently get an error message that DSP manager has crashed when I start up a new sound stream (music player, N64 emulator). Error persisted a 1.9 reflash. The audio still works, but I get the error message.

Hi all, has anyone else noticed that phone calls are very quiet??? I can barley hear people and my volume is all the way up. :( can anyone recommend a app or plugin that boosts the in call volume? I really need it because I cannot hear people clearly unless it is really quiet around me. Thank you in advance, and as always Huge thank you to wild and the rest of the developers!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
so...lol I was looking at updating this rom but slim hasn't touched their 4.2.2 repos ever since 4.3 dropped so there isn't much to merge upstream. Also, I haven't personally coded any new features into it. Are there any features you guys would still like out of this rom in 4.2.2? Or should I start looking towards the 2.0

btw: Don't expect a 2.0 until I can fix the bugs in JBDS so that we will have stable first, then we can start having treats & goodies.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
some of these i mentioned earlier, but i'm consolidating into one post, copying and pasting from here and there.

halo 2.0 update

fix dspmanager crashing/not actually doing anything

include exchange2.apk (it's missing cuz slimrom is, well, slim so it's removed by default). it's a small apk and i know we're not worried about having a really small ROM here..

Feature request: in quick settings, the WiFi and data tiles used to show when they were being used (arrows) like the status bar symbols do. This happened back on the cm base. Now the cell service tile isn't how many bars you have (wifi still has that though).

i feel like there is a wifi wakelock or just some serious drain when using wifi. probably a kernel issue (if it's a real issue at all)

the PIE controls from PA team to replace CM PIE controls

HDR option in camera still missing. Must be that Slim didn't put it in? CM camera had/has it

Superuser is in both advanced options on in main settings menu

Lockscreen customization is under security, not its own thing

cLock, when minimized on lockscreen, get's cropped off instead of properly minimized (this is not important though)

that's all i got...for now ;P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] brucehvn:
Physical camera button seems to not actually take photos most of the time, only focuses. Although sometimes it will take the photo. Not sure why it's flaky like that. The soft onscreen button always works.

Still have an issue with the battery charge even after calibrating the battery. When I plug the phone in to the AC charger at night with say 68% left, the percentage will increase to some point during the night, then start decreasing. When I wake up, it says charging at something like 35%. A reboot will return it to fully charged 100%, so I basically have to reboot every morning.

These are minor annoyances, but perfectly liveable if they don't get fixed. I'm really loving this rom.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Firefairy:
Overall, love the ROM, and not having too many problems that are due to the ROM (some problems due to app issues, totally not your fault).

Only things I am seeing that I think are either the ROM or the Kernel:

* My GPS is really, really flaky. I can be outside with full sky access, and my GPS status app says I have locks on 4-7 satellites, but I don't get a location. Other times, it works fine even in my house, gets a location as soon as it has enough satellite locks. No clue what's going on here.

* Phone just turns off randomly. I usually don't figure it out until it reboots instead of just waking up when I try to wake it up. Battery fine, etc., it just decided to shut down.

* Possibly related to the shutting down, sometimes the phone takes a looooong time to wake up, even if something is happening, like the phone ringing.

* Not sure if this one is the ROM/Kernel or not- something seems to be stopping my internet at random times. No apps blocking it, firewall, etc., it's just not connecting to anything- Wifi or Network data. Texts work normally.

Borderline between annoyances and serious problems. I poke my phone often enough that none of them is absolutely intolerable, but I would love to know what's causing them and what I can do to get them fixed. I had been poking at them myself, but since you asked... :)
