Is anyone else experiencing a near constant sync indicator but unable to locate anything actually syncing? I have everything but google turned off.

Are there any third party applications that can trigger the syncing icon?

Aside from this minor inconvenience I see no major flaws in this build.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Yes it the contacts that is included in one of the app's.. I never pulled it out :( goto sync & Account & turn off Contacts Sync... Do not turn off any Google Stuff as this is not the problem..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
I noticed this before I flashed and had anything installed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
The sync issue has something to do with tmobile and the "tmobile sync" for contacts.

It's been HORRIBLE like that for days.

I got pissed and turned it off
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
It is T-Mobile's contact sync which is for its Faves. Remove every contact from your faves and then go into Settings/ Accounts and Sync to disable it from auto syncing to T-Mobile.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bournefusion:
I don't have any MyFaves (never set it up, either) and I've got sync for Tmo turned off. It still shows sync in the status/notification bar, but not in Settings/Accounts under Tmobile.

Odd.

I just thought it was short for SuperUser since when I put in su then the superuser app came up on my phone. Just my assumption but could be right... ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
I know SU means super user but whats it mean exactly to have super user in /system/bin?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Re: First Slide Update ( SLIDEMEROOT.zip ) Stock with Goodies

I experienced the same thing with the sync staying on. Had to kill all my task. I thought from the looks of it that it was and HTC app syncing in the background. After a few tries I ev entually got the sync to stop. I can't wait to get a rom with all the htc and tmobile bloatware removed.

Thanks for this tip! I installed this right after root and ran Titanium to back EVERYTHING up to SD.

NOTE: After installing Titanium and giving it root access, and installing busybox through Titanium, I had to reboot my phone for it to see all of my data.

Now I am happily off to Frolic and Rom about freely! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bmfc187:
SU is a system binary, (hence the location being /system/bin) it is the program that actually gives you the possibility of using root priviledges.

Superuser.apk is a FRONTEND for SU, which allows you to aquire root priviledges when necessary, and gives you the ability to ALWAYS give certain programs automatic access, or to chose which programs get DENIED root access.

anytime SU is called upon, the request gets redirected to Superuser.apk to inform the user that an app or service is requesting root access, and to inquire the user to make a decision as to whether or not the program should be allowed root access.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
wait but I have super user permission on the stock rom? at least the few apps that work have been granted permission fine.. So what is it exactly that I'm going to be able to do with this that I cant now? Can I get it on the TMO rom w/o switching roms
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Phone Identity>Phone number: Unknown

In Settings>About Phone>Phone Identity>Phone Number it is showing "unknown". Is this a problem? Is there a way to get that field propagated with my MSIDN (phone number)? I appreciate any insight you guys may have.

Edit/Update: Re-inserted SIM and the field now shows my MSIDN.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bmfc187:
Re: First Slide Update ( SLIDEMEROOT.zip ) Stock with Goodies

I've had this problem since I got a new SIM like almost a year ago...I've never got it to show anything but "unknown"...I've called TMO more than twice about it begging them to program my number to the SIM, each time they promise me it'll be fixed within 12 or 24 hours, but it never gets fixed...maybe we'll find a solution...

waaay better than legend to slide rom no keyboard backlight was killing me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
I only wish there was a way to turn the kb backlight on all the time. its kind of hard to see sometimes. maybe I am blind?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
quick question, does anyone know if the .zip for making LWP work on Legend2Slide work with Sense will work on Slideroot2? wife prefers Launcher Pro Beta to ADW, but will settle for Sense if that zip will work here. tried to talk her into the Legend2Slide but the current lack of keyboard light made her say no.

Eugene love your work man!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
it doesnt hurt to give it a shot, worst you'll have to do is wipe and reflash
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
well tried it and it put the phone into a force close loop, so I wiped and re-installed SlideMeRoot2 and got phone working again.

on a side note I downloaded ADW just to have her check it out again and she still prefers Launcher Pro Beta, so I un-installed ADW through the Market and downloaded LP2 and the LWPs work on hers.

So Mama's happy so I get to be happy!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
so i take it she let you root her phone too??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
yep she's running SlideMEROOT2 w/ radio update and Launcher Pro Beta w/LWP

and I'm running Eugene's Legend to Slide with LWP on Sense :D

Gotta give mad props to Eugene for his work and you for your how-to vids
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
glad i could help man, its all about helping the community!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] goodwinm:
The light sensor is to the right of the ear speaker, opposite the LED. Just covering it for half a second is enough to turn the keyboard backlight on.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
yeah, I know thats what I do. I'm just not used it yet, I guess. Minor inconvenience... I'll get over it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nephelim:
Anyone having toubles with L2TP VPN?

I have the SLIDEROOT2.zip with updated radio but sense I loaded this I can't get my L2TP connection to work any more. The log on the firewall I'm trying to connect to says "Result code 6 (Call failed due to no carrier detected)." Just wondering if anyone else has tried this or is having troubles.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poacher2010:
anyone else having video problems while running SLIDEMEROOT2? I'm getting audio but video stops and freezes phone after 1 second. Just curious.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was just a freak thing that happened to me last night, working perfectly today again...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Posting to report that this installed with no issues. Id like to see more roms now :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
good to see you were finally able to get past the adb loop. what ended up working for ya?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] goodwinm:
My light sensor seems very sensitive, my backlight won't usually go off unless I shine a light directly into the light sensor.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
I'm running the legend rom right now with the stock slide radio. Am I going to have to downgrade to the eng build first in order to flash this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Noo you only have to flash eng once..ever
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
just wipe, choose zip, install, have fun, no need to downgrade again. Its just like normal rom flashing. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
yea I kind of just took a dive and figured it out for myself before you guys replied. Was just too lazy to edit.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Posting as well that I am on this ROM now and did not have any issues. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yitzikv:
does anyone know whats up with froyo update? btw wanted to ask if the issue with keyboard lights was fixed in SLIDEMEROOT2. Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
There should be no keyboard light issues on this ROM, that was the Legend ROM and jp's non-sense ROM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yitzikv:
Hi, wanted to ask someone to post a few snapshots of slidemeroot2. Thanks in advance :) Another question, if I'll partition my sdcard will I have apps2sd then or not? Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
SlideMEROOT2 is simply the stock slide rom with BusyBox and SuperUser installed. If you partition your sd card to have an ext partition, not only will you NOT have Apps2SD functionality, the Slide wont even recognize that the card is partitioned.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gbear1023:
This might be a stupid question.So forgive me in advance.I have allready rooted and installed slide me does it include the latest radio update or do I need to do it . Thanks again to all those out there working hard to do this and make this phone so great.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
If you followed the *standard* rooting process as documented on XDA, you have:

Rooted

Installed Engineering Build

Installed a "release" rom (SlideMEROOT2, SlideM, etc...)

If this sounds like you, chances are that you're still running the engineering radio which is not the most recent release. You can find the most up-to-date radio file here.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gbear1023:
I have rooted and everything just a little confused on how to do the radio update dont want to screw up my phone is runnin great.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It's quite simple. You should still have "update.zip" on your sdcard which contains the ClockworkMod recovery. If you don't have this on the root of your card, add it back. Add the new radio .zip file to the root of your sdcard as well.

Boot your phone back into recovery -- my personal method for this is connecting my phone to my Mac using USB and running "ADB REBOOT RECOVERY" in the terminal. When the phone reboots you should see a triangle icon with an exclamation point. Hold the VOLUME-UP button and press the power button -- this should bring up the default recovery menu.

Select to flash update.zip. This will put you into the ClockworkMod recovery. Then navigate down to flash any zip from your sdcard and choose the radio .zip file you added. Once it finishes, navigate back to the main menu of ClockworkMod and reboot the device.

Once your phone is back up and booted you'll be running the new radio.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gbear1023:
Thanks that is where i was confused thanks again just did it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I was wondering if this build is capable of being overclocked or if it's locked to 480MHz and 600MHz like the retail version. I know this is based off the retail ROM but I'd like to know about overclocking and if that's stock or if it's changed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It cannot be overclocked because the kernel hasn't been adjusted to allow for it. SetCPU doesn't play nice with this rom at the moment.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright that's what I thought. I tried SetCPU, overclock widget, openOverclock, and another overclocking app and none of them worked. I hope the kernel gets tweaked to allow for overclocking soon. I think 700MHz is quite safe and stable and I'd be willing to bet you could push it to 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz before having to worry too much about stress levels. Oh well that's for the devs to decide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Uhhhhhhh...

Yeah, I don't think you're ever going to see this particular chipset pushed over the 1 GHz mark. I think the safest overclock we'll see will be 800 MHz or so.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Really? I thought this could take more stress than that, granted it would decrease the lifespan in the long run but I didn't think it would cause stability issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
I just don't think it's realistic to hope for this particular chipset -- the Qualcomm MSM7227 -- to reach those clock speeds. I think 800 MHz is much more realistic.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Ok, I'll take your word for it. I don't know much about this chip and you seem to know more so you're probably right. Well even if it won't run stably at 1+GHz do you think we'd have the option or do you think something like 800MHz will be the cap? I don't mind running at 800MHz but I'd like the option if at all possible of pushing it to 1.2GHz or so, just to see how it reacts.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
You could always try baking up your own Slide rom and tweaking the kernel yourself. It's a non-trivial task, but it allows you to push your device to the limits.

Here's a photo of Eugene's custom kernel that allows for overclocking to ~800 MHz. I imagine there may be people who push it further than that, but I doubt they will be successful at achieving stability.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I would do that but I honestly wouldn't know where to start. My knowledge of java is limited (just started) and my c/c++ is rusty,very. I'd be happy with the 800MHz as I've said before and if there's a custom kernel already more or less working I think I'll just wait until he decides to release it (if he does at all). Also I know this is a noob-ish question but if I update the radio to the newest version will I still be able to get into clockwork just by applying update.zip or will I need to go through the pain of ota.zip then pushing update.zip again?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Assuming that after you acquired root you flash the engineering build and then flashed a stock rom (slideM, SlideMEROOT, Legend2Slide, etc...), flashing a new radio is a trivial exercise. Simply make sure you have the update.zip on your sdcard (the ClockwordMod recovery) and the new radio zip as well, then boot into recovery, hold volume-up and press the power button, flash "update.zip," and then once in ClockworkMod, select the new radio zip from the sdcard and you're good to go.

Updating the radio will not undo root or revert the rom your Slide is currently running.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I understand how to flash the new radio but what I was worried about was it changing to stock recovery. The engineering recovery is much simpler to use with clockwork as people have stated before and I really dont want to lose it.

Edit: just to confirm for anyone curious you are still able to run clockwork through update.zip after flashing the new radio. It doesn't replace the recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] misha680:
Phone unlocked?

Dear All:

Just to double check - if I install this ROM can I use non T-Mobile SIM cards with my phone?

Thank you

Misha
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
Love the rom couple of issues though:

1.) If i send an sms to more than 1 person at a time the other ones dont send unless i retry sending. Also happens randomly when im just texting someone.

2.)Texts are out of order sometimes, ill text someone if they text back within a couple of min their text will be above mine in sms window and vise versa

3.)I heard this was actually with phones hardware but didnt seem to happen as much as when i was on stock. My G1 was always on 3G with no problems around my town (outskirts of chicago) but with my touch it seems its constantly jumping back and forth from 3G and Edge.

Anyone experiencing any of these? or kno of a solution for one or all? I do have updated radio too.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] h.nocturna:
Root != unlocked. So, no, this will not let you use non T-Mobile SIMs with this phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ArizonaDomer:
solution

menu>settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks>network mode

then select WCDMA(3g)only, GSM (edge) only, or auto (switch between the two)

sticking to 3g only or Edge only will also help save your battery
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
thanks I'll try that and report back

Expected Release date is for this Coming Monday!

Pic's Included..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bmfc187:
But I kinda like the bubbles! Not cus they're iphone-ish, just because they give a little bit of uniformity to the app icons...are they easy to put back?

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
... And the question on everyone's mind is...

... Will this include the overclock kernal we've been hearing about?

Oh, and good work, by the way! :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
No, the kernel is still incomplete..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:

And as the other gentleman asked, if we liked the bubbles around the icons, will it be easy to put them back? I kinda like them too for some things
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Is there an easy way to remove the bubbles with out having to flash a new ROM? Something we can edit out in the drawables?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
Damn you are the man!!! have only had Root for 10 days and you have already put out 4 ROM's and getting ready to release the 2nd update for one of them already you must be writing code in your damn sleep. I am so glad the wife and I followed to the MTS from the BH2. :D

This is a stock rom bug in the messaging app. I've asked tmo about it with no responce. The timestamp seams to not include seconds when displaying messages. So msgs received or sent within the same minute are usually mixed in order.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] asterix005:

i just found something out today, so i installed adw for the hell of it so i could see live wallpapers in action, once i saw it i uninstalled adw launcher because i like the sense ui better. well i noticed my battery was draining fast, so i looked in settings>applications>running and noticed that the live wallpaper was still running even though adw was no longer installed. the only way to get rid of it is to change your wallpaper to a non live wallpaper and you will see it's no longer in the running apps. just an fyi for everyone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] asterix005:
yes you can. that's what i did. it will work for default theme only
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bmfc187:
not technically true...you can edit them out of whatever theme you use. just find the theme's .apk and edit them out just like normal. they're in /system/app with everything else...

Cant Wait Getting My Phone Monday Just In Time For The New Rom. Im Updating from a G1.:D

I believe the MT3G Slide will be the new G1 but I love my G1 so much please tell me i am doing the right thing by switching to this phone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bmfc187:
oh yeah you are...its so much faster than the g1...games i used to play that were kinda laggy, i never really knew they were laggy i just thought that was the normal speed of gameplay...then i got the slide and THAT when i realized that the games werent supposed to be that slow, it was just the ANCIENT (LOL) HARDWARE I WAS PLAYING THEM ON! now i can enjoy games the way they were meant to be enjoyed...AT FULL SPEED. lol

good choice switching to the MT3GS! I havent even looked back at my G1 since the day i got it!

Is anybody else having MMS trouble with SMR5r1?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thekidshellz:
i know this thread is a little further then what i m asking but the actual one regarding this hasnt been updated for awhile, and if everyone posting here has already got the rom loaded then they succesfully got the eng build flashed, my prompt has the same issue everytime when i try to do the first couple steps to get it, ive successfully rooted and have superuser and everything on my phone when i hit adb push no matter what follows it just shows me the commands as if i had typed adb help, does the same with adb pull, but remount, start-server and all other commands work, this is driving me crazy lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thekidshellz:
disregard the post above, got it all figured out!!! :) but when i flash slidemeroot5r1 it does nothing, i followed all the steps, it installs and everything from clockwork just fine, but when it reboots, i m just back to stock mytouch slide ??? i even tried installing the older slidemeroot2 and still nothing, am i missing a step??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
How long did you let it sit for, and do you have a ext partition on your sdcard? If you do it has to be ext3 or it won't boot. If you don't, let the slide sit for a min or two. Slidemeroot5r1 runs a huge script at bootup and does black out the screen. Mine takes longer to boot and is black but it does boot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] epeets:
I'm using the SlidemeRoot5 right now but I was using the SMR1 for a little whlile. I didnt have any MMS trouble. Try sending yourself an MMS and if you get (picture and all, you should be able to receive MMS from anyone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thekidshellz:
Well I didn't create any new partions on the card. Iva made partitions before with the g1 but didn't see anything about it for this root and flash. But my slide does boot up just fine after the black screen. Just not any diff then the stock slide , I flashed the legend rom and it worked fine and then back to slidemeroot 5 and no launcher, still has the iphone bubbles, not seeing any of the "goodies" like live wallpaper or any of that, am I just overlooking somethin or someway to enable? And does the rom not have that launcher do I have to install over it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
No bubbles only works with the default NEST theme (was stated on the main post for slidemeroot5) and if you want livewallpaper you need to switch launchers to ADW (also stated in the main post).

Slidemeroot5r1 is stock except for some applications removed, the bubbles removed from the nest theme, livewallpaper for adw and apps2sd. Oh and it has wifi tether preinstalled.
