Take all the time you guys need, I swear, I love your work, it's only thanks to you guys and maybe some other people that development in this forum still continues.

When I first read *SilverL and I were able to get Android 4.4 booting tonight* I swear I screamed like a little ***** :D

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Really? I think it goes more like this:

2.3 - 4.0 Massive

4.0 - 4.1 big

4.1 - 4.2 Moderate

4.2 - 4.3 Small

4.3 - 4.4 big

It's just my opinion though, but you have to take into account that 4.4 is more than just support for older hardware :)

Sorry again for the intrusion, dont want to be thought of as some sort of cold that keeps coming back, but i have some new info on the stuck at splash screen issue im having with this rom (at least on my doubleshot)....

Here's what i did :

I returned to stock 1.63 OTA image, fastbooted flash TWRP , did full wipe w/ TWRP, fastbooted flash the JellyBeanDS_v1.4 boot.img file , went back into TWRP and installed the full JellyBeanDS_v1.4.zip rom -- and ended back where i started - stuck at factory splash screen.

However after about 30 minutes when I was about to yank the battery and accidentally hit the volume button which made a beep noise (that was unfamiliar in tone) .... granted im still staring at the hideous default splash screen but it does appear that something is going on in the background as when vol+ repeatedly pressed the beep gets louder, and when vol- pressed it beeps quieter... so it seems that something is running - I also see that if i plug it in to a usb cable it appears to be charging now (which wasn't happening before) but why all i see is the splash screen is the question... any ideas?

i cant connect via fastboot or adb to get any additional info... however i was able to manipulate the power button and the optical pad and after fiddling with it seemed based on the haptic response and various other noises i seemed to be in some sort of menu (although i cant see it) but if i select first option and drag the pad to the right - and press the pad... it appears to power-off my device... so def looks like there is some intelligence there but i just get the stupid splash screen all the time.

Flash stock rom, root and get CWM, works better for me. Then wipe data, cache and dalvik. Flash rom, flash Wildkernel 008, if you are S on (I think) then flash the boot.img that will appear on your SD, flash rom again just to make sure, then flash gapps, and flash kernel, again, just to make sure, then reboot. That's usually my procedure.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] killkillkill:
4.3 --> 4.4 = ***tiny***. It is a very small and easy update.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Galileo:
More than 4.3? I don't see it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
Really? I heard that the system tasks and processes in Kitkat actually consume less RAM so it's not just an aggressive task killing.

Greenify is a good app but most of the time I need to "greenify" the apps manually so it works only as a task killer. When it's greenified I get about 250MBs of free RAM
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] killkillkill:
Not more. LESS.

And you won't see it unless you dive into the actual source code, or actually work on bringing up devices.

Google "codenames" are not about the magnitude of the changes, but about achieving a set of objectives. If you have the "J" version and only hit 93% of the objectives required for the "K" version, you are still at "J". Get that last 7% and you make it to "K".

Frankly, you shouldn't even look at it as 4.3 --> 4.4, but as 4.1 --> 4.4. We just got lucky in getting a few of the updates along the way.

4.4 has a few minor graphical differences, a little bit of debloating work to save memory, and a new printing API. All in all, its an extremely tame update. Yes, the marketing people are going to push it like its the OMG ITS SO AWESOME UPDATE YOU NEED THIS NOW!!! but that's just marketing. I personally really do like the changes in K, but that doesn't make them huge.

Bluetooth issues

I am running 1.6, with the kernel from 1.7, and I am having issues where my phone takes a call in bluetooth mode, but the sound is still coming from the phone speaker. Everything indicates that it is using the Bluetooth headset, except for where the sound is actually coming from...

happy thanksgiving to the chef and all who help keep our phones alive for a lil bit longer.Hope every one is eating something good and spending time with loved ones. cheers!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dude8604:
Anyone know if this ROM supports T-Mobile Wifi Calling?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dude8604:
I flashed 1.7 and seems to work fine when I'm using it. But when it's idle with this the screen turned off for more than 2 or 3 minutes it reboots itself. I cleared both caches and data before flashing. Any idea what the problem could be? I did recently flash a new radio. Could that be related?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
You should really stay on the stock radio because the new radio only works good if running the mySense rom that came with it, otherwise it's known to cause issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dude8604:
I'm not sure what the stock radio is, I forgot to write it down before changing it. But I think it was 10.x or 11.x. Also, I noticed I only have the reboot problem when the phone is unplugged but it even happens when the battery is full or near full.

edit: Found an older radio to try. Hopefully it fixes the problem.

edit2: Looks like it's working so far. Thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
The radio that comes with this is stock http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc6...0U_10.12.9007.07_M2_release_201815_signed.zip (sorry for the large/slow download, it's the only one available at this time)

Android 4.4 is running on the Doubleshot

First off I wanted to say than you to the following teams:

Team SXL ([MENTION=2878915]SilverL[/MENTION] [MENTION=1282428]scverhagen[/MENTION], and I)

Team Hydra

TeamDS

KitKat is booting on our device! You can find the official release thread here. Sorry about the lack of communication recently, I've been pre-occupied but things have cleared up and I have more time now, so expect a little more active development. Good night everyone :)

PS: For those who like to be teased...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Saem persun:
I am using this ROM, and everything was going fine until a moment when my device suddenly lost GPS satellites. I have no idea what happend and if this issue is SW or HW related.

(I wrote about it in general subforum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2550642).

Is it possible to fix this kind of issue with re-flashing radio?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CleanSweep93:
For some reason my phone isn't able to send texts, but I have received at least a few with this build. And my battery drained very quickly today. I am still S-On so I fastbooted boot.img then did the rest in CWM, wiped phone and cleared cache/dalvik. Then I installed everything and here I am. Kinda need texting so I hope I did something wrong above!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rtiangha:
I know that 4.4 is all the rage right now, but with CM 10.2 Stable just released, is there any chance of getting a build based off it that we can run until 4.4 is stabilized? Still running SilverL's final 4.2.2 build here, but figured now would be a great time to jump on the 4.3 bandwagon (plus I can't get wifi or bluetooth tethering working well on SilverL's ROM; it keeps dropping the connection or speeds are stuck at 0 both u/l and d/l even though it says it's connected).

If not, that's cool too; guess I'll wait for a stable 4.4 (unless someone with tethering experience can comment on how well wifi and bluethooth tethering through mobile data performs on this one? I miss the functionality and am getting tired of yanking out my SIM to stick into my Huawei hotspot).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rtiangha:
So I bit the bullet and tried to flash 1.7 (format system, cache and dalvik first) and I too ran into the bootloop issue.

I read here that some higher frequencies were hard-baked in to the kernel post-1.4. I recall that my Doubleshot was one of the sensitive ones that couldn't handle aggressive over or underclocks, from playing around with Scaverhagen's kernels back in the CM9 days.

I'm assuming a less aggressive kernel would probably fix this? Can some point me to where a more sane kernel lives (forum thread, web link, or other) with more reasonable CPU frequencies/voltages to flash overtop of 1.7? Sounds like this bootloop stuff should be an easy fix.

Edit: Just installed v1.4 and it boots fine. I really think I'm in the same position as acwest.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] biosehnsucht:
So I finally got around to rooting and flashing my otherwise stock phone.

HTC unlock which wiped the phone to vanilla again (oops, forgot - at least I had already used SMS Backup+, but I didn't find a way to save application settings / save games yet). Installed CWM, wiped things, installed JB DS 1.7, gapps full, etc.

Working great!

A minor thing I've noticed:

Charging with my PowerMat works fine, and indicates charging via the LED and the phone status, but it doesn't indicate it's being done wirelessly (stock ROM would show a lightning bolt and the message that compass was disabled). Doesn't really break anything, just thought it was an interesting quirk. Not too surprising, I imagine there's not many people with PowerMat kits and close to zero overlap of those with developers, so who's going to notice? :D

I don't expect a "fix" for JB, but maybe a low-hanging fruit to tackle with KK.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] biosehnsucht:
Another minor thing I miss from ye olde stock ROM:

Clicking the 'cursor' pad (the little cursor moving device where a G1's ball would be, which is essentially an upside down optical mouse) would wake it up to the lock screen (so you can check for notifications or just the time), and clicking it again on the lock screen would put phone back to sleep.

With JB DS I have to use the power button to put it back to sleep. Is there an option someplace to let me put it back to sleep by clicking the pad again?

I have to say battery life is worlds better now. I had replaced stock battery (which wasn't making it to the end of the work day without some charging anymore) with an Anker (I forget what size, but it barely fit in there, was meant for another device) a week or two before going from stock ROM to JB DS, and while it made it through the day, it still was down to < 50% battery. After upgrading to JB DS I find at the end of the day I typically still have 80+% battery left with all radios (GPS wifi bluetooth) enabled (before I only turned on those I needed when I needed, to save battery), AND the phone has been way more responsive too, so its not just running slower in order to last... it's lasting longer and doing things faster with everything turned on. Awesome!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] DragonMama:
Could you post a link to that battery? I'm in the market for a new one myself. My brain requires a physical keyboard on my phone (I've been a touchtypist for more than half my life, the letters are mapped to the side of my brain that the hand hits on a physical keyboard - swipe-style keyboards reduced me to hunt-and-peck speed plus missing the tactileless target errors... stupid phone manufacturers. Oh and I've got 4 kids ages 9 and under so guess how well speech-to-text works around here? Grr /rant). I am rather fond of Anker brand but with the phone being so "old" I wasn't sure about finding a battery that would work in it.

Sorry for the tangent, hope mods don't mind. Still trying to settle on which ROM to run myself. Currently trying JelllyKang but TitaniumBackup says it's not rooted so I can't restore the backup from my other phone (I have two Doubleshots, the one I'm currently using as an actual phone I bought off eBay already rooted and S-Off, other one I rooted myself but can't get S-Off as I'm too klutzy to trust myself attempting a wire trick - the S-On one is the one TB on JK is saying isn't rooted). Planning to try this ROM instead of JK while I wait for the camera to work on KitKat. Camera crashing the phone is the reason I am messing with the 2nd phone's ROM in the 1st place. Need a freaking camera more often than I need a communications device.

DragonMama (sorry, fussy baby and not enough coffee makes me very tangenty)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PsychoPhreak:
When I was first playing around with roms and going from 4.2 to 4.3, I think it was when I went back to 4.2 it appeared I lost root. I started freaking out, tried uninstalling/re-installing, etc, even flashed all the way back to gingerbread from my backup.

After multiple other instances and tests, I've come to find the following.

First off, not sure what SU you're using either built into the rom or a market app, but I've always used SuperSU as it worked out every other error I'd seen in other SU apps.

Now the thing is, sometimes it would totally seem loaded, say it's root, could unload and reload, do anything, but when it came time to request SU access, TiBU or any other apps would fail and say to check the binaries or something.

If that's your case, when you reload SuperSU after doing a full uninstall (the prepare to reinstall from market uninstall) and it wants to update the binaries and recommends using TWRP/CWM for HTC devices, JUST DO NORMAL. That's it. That's the big fix. If that doesn't work then you can try the recovery method, but for some reason one or the other seems to finally make it work again, and then apps requesting SU will actually get it. Good luck!

Anker 1900mAh Li-ion Battery For HTC Sensation, Sensation XE, Sensation 4G, EVO 3D http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053EZJMC

Depth of the battery isn't really an issue, it's a really tight fit in the end to end dimension, but it will go in there. I'm not sure if the PowerMat battery door is more or less depth room but it fits over it (I haven't tried putting the stock door back on).

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] steve_77:
Problem I was having was with my device itself - I went out and got a 'new' (used) MTS4G and ran it though the paces and it seems to work great with DS 1.7, the only thing that I've noticed is that if you launch "gallery" or other apps that use graphics (ie. maps) the phone gets real hot and occasionally it crashes causing the phone to reboot itself a few times sometimes.

Is there a heat workaround (i.e underclocking)? or another version of maps that works better. I found a link to "Maps_6_14_4.apk" but even after removing most recent "maps" and enabling the 'alternate sources - i couldn't get the older version of maps installed.

I'm now using 1.7 as a daily driver and it seems to be really good except for heat&reboot and the maps issue.

Great work!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sharptv:
I get the overheat and reboot issue when charging and using my phone concurrently.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] steve_77:
I believe there are settings in the "settings - system - performance - processor" area that can be set to govern the CPU rate, personally I don't know if this is the best way to keep the phone from overheating and locking up but worth exploring. There does seem to be quite a few governing algorithms (default is 'ondemand'), perhaps someone could offer some advise as to which setting is the best for keeping the device from overheating. At the moment im assuming the heat is a clocking issue, but it does look like there is other options to keep the limited amount of system RAM we have also under check.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jumphog:
Great rom, been using it for months with no major problems, just a couple of little things that would make it perfect:

Is there a way to alter the physical keyboard map to make ALT+DEL not delete a line unless they are both actually pressed together. I keep having the situation where ALT has locked on, I type the character I need, then realise I cocked up and press (only) DEL to change it but end up deleting the whole line.

Bluetooth audio drops out during playback occasionally, maybe for quarter of a second, sometimes up to 2-3 seconds. I havent worked out exactly what the causes are, its not always the same audio that it happens on, its generally in the first few minutes after starting music or a call, but sometimes it can be fine for half an hour (screen off, just playing music in the background) then it'll start dropping out again. With the previous rom I was running and with the same bluetooth hardware there were no problems. It does happen on music and on phone audio.

Anyone come across these, or have any ideas to fix them?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] steve_77:
still in development?

This is an awesome ROM, I still have issues with Gallery constantly crashing, dont know what the issue is there, am hoping there is still ongoing development to refine this ROM, or have most users migrated onto KitKat already?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] DragonMama:
With you on the ALT-Del issue, drives me bonkers too.

WRT your bluetooth issue, I have that happen sometimes, I *think* it's incoming text messages that have the audio muted - like instead of making a beep or whatever sound it would make for the incoming message, it instead mutes the audio. I use Handsent for text messaging, in case that helps track down the issue. For those who don't know what Handsent is, it's a messaging app with a lot of actually useful customization. I use that because of the ability to set different vibrate patterns and alert sounds per contact - Twitter & FB are silent/no-vibe - I'll catch it on the popup when I actually look at my phone sometime later. Default contacts share a quick short vibe and sound. People who might be taking care of my kids get three quick vibes and their own notification sound. I have four kids 13mo-9yrs and just finished my MA last May, that last feature totally saved my sanity in class SO many times when I had "old-school" profs who put it in their syllabi that we weren't supposed to be checking our phones. If it buzzed three times, I knew that was the only time I needed to step out of the classroom to check that my kids were OK, otherwise it would wait until class was over.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jumphog:
I could easily live with ALT-DEL doing nothing at all. I wonder if Android uses anything like xmodmap as it is linux based, would be pretty easy to edit the key definitions then.

I have come across this behaviour, but its not what I think is the problem. The dropouts I get are irregular and sometimes seem to correlate with what might be high bitrate parts of the audio, but then it also happens at the beginning of calls, which arent exactly high bitrate.. Maybe its to do with CPU usage?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bengmau:
I had to set my cpu max to the 1.5GHz from the 1.7Ghz to eliminate hang reboot issues. before it would overheat and reboot.

alt and shift keys

does anyone know if the alt and shift keys work with this version in browser? i am using tbaldens cm ten point one, and i heard that the fix for the alt key problem is to use chrome instead. i am in chrome right now, no improvement.

thinking of going to emmanuels cm ten point two, if this problem is fixed and i have something to gain. the only thing that is holding me back trying is my need for corporate account aka activesync. i should at least flash and look. otherwise i will suck it up and use the software keyboard as needed.

related question, is twrp 2.2.2.0 sufficient to flash cm 10.2?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bit1:

My phone works pretty smooth with this rom installed, much better than the JellyKang 1.9 build.

Maps app works without any visual glitches, but in landscape it shows wrong direction with 90 degrees difference.

There is also the long-term bug related to manual 2G/3G network search. Tbalden have fixed it once in CM10.1 P-20 update.

And by the way, the optical keypad seems not working for me sometimes in the text edit areas.

Progress on 3.4 Kernel:

[MENTION=1282428]scverhagen[/MENTION] and I have finally gotten our Linux 3.4 Kernel to fully compile for our device :good: (with ported stuff from 3.0.x). Now we are to begin working on testing it and getting it fully working for our device

It currently bootloops but I can assume that is a simple over sized error
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
so that's why it's been quiet around here ;) let me know if you need me to test anything!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] josh2020glacier:

I've been wanting to update this rom for a while, but I've been having problems with the vidc which is causing the video recording/playback (some not all videos) to not work. I'll keep you guys updated, this and some other things has kept me a little preoccupied recently + with starting school recently. But just a quick reminder I'm still working on it haha

It's probably the ramdisk (assuming everything else has been done correctly).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
Naw, ramdisk will probably need fixing but the bootloop was that we were using a rom build with legacy qcom hardware + some other kernel things which resolved once we switched bases
