fermunky

I'm on SLIDEMEROOT2. If I want to remove or make changes to /System, I would have to go into clockwork recovery to mount the system then issue ADB commands (correct me if I'm wrong please LOL). I have some apps that require Root access to the system folder (Root explorer, Meta-morph too name a few) to make any changes, I know I can get into those folders within the OS but just can't make any changes. I'm really looking into themeing the Frameworks.apk but understand MTS isn't fully Rooted because of the Kernal being locked down. I was just wondering, I will just try this ROM and see what I can come up with. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
I'm really liking this ROM. It is fast. And not one FC yet :) Eugene will be getting a Pepsi soon.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrkumquat:
Oddness... I tried flashing this ROM and I know it made changes due to losing sense launcher and gaining launcherpro... noticed missing stock HTC apps but no difference in free space, unresponsive SU and FC attempting to open accounts and sync

GPS Not Working

I've got SlideM +eng +latest radio and my GPS doesn't work. Any ideas? Here's what I've tried:

reboot

re-flash latest radio

with gps off, go into airplane mode then start gps

toggle gps on/off toggle radio location on/off

...and none of that worked. Does anyone else using this rom have this problem? GPS worked before I rooted/flashed SlideM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Go to Settings->Location and tell me this: Is the "Use GPS Satellites" box checked off?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] digi200moon:
Both "Use GPS Satellites" and "Use wireless networks" are checked. (And I get the GPS icon in the notification area when trying google maps or navigation.)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] digi200moon:
Also, here is some output from logcat, looks relevant:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
I can't be certain, but I *think* that some other process on your handset is attempting to monopolize your gps functionality. Do you have any peculiar apps installed that would be running in the background?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] digi200moon:
good point - it could be MobileDefense, but if MobileDefense was monopolizing the GPS, you would think that GPS would work when I try to view my phone on the map. I'll try uninstalling MobileDefense and see what happens.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] digi200moon:
Nope, I uninstalled MobileDefense and it didn't help. I tried to think about what else might use GPS, so I uninstalled the genie widget and made sure geo-taggin was off in the camera, but my GPS still doesn't work! Add another piece to this puzzle - I rooted my wifes phone the exact same way, same files, etc. and her GPS works fine (with MobileDefense installed/running.) It's starting to look like I might have to re-flash... Thanks for the help so far.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
No worries. It could just be a stray cosmic ray hosed the install. ;) Re-flash and let us know how it goes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] digi200moon:
OK, reflash didn't work, so I reflashed back to factory with the nandroid backup that's floating around. Still the same problem! I have to guess that it's the hardware at this point and exchange this thing. (I mentioned earlier that GPS worked before rooting, but I could be wrong - I might have only tested it on my wifes phone, it's all a blur now. Anyway, thanks for the help!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Oy! Yeah, take it back to T-Mobile and get a replacement.

Is anyone having problems sending pictures or text messages? My parents have iphones and it takes a long time for them to get my text messages and they never get my picture messages....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
I'm not having issues. Trying sending an MMS to your email (if our phones let us do that...?)

In fact, the only problem I have is the random FC on Launcher, but that happens maybe once every couple of days...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Etype R:
I switched back over to ADW launcher after having Launcher pro FC on me 3 or 4 times last night.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
ADW Launcher is *much* more stable on the Slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
Found out a few things

My mothers iphone is slow

Handcent SMS + Slide = no MMS

Stock text app for the slide = unorganized text.. nothing to do with the rom *wipe brow*
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
Decided to run Quadrant standard against SlideM - My favorite Rom so far - Major Kudos to Eugene!!!!

I was surprised how this ranked against some of the other devices out there. I want to do this again once we have Froyo!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sleepykit:
Quick question?

Is the regular ROM just that large or does the MyTouch Slide have less memory allocated to data?

Reason for my question: I used to have a MyTouch 3G (first kind) and with CMs ROMs, there was like 200+MB of space available for user apps. With the SlideM, there's 138 MB.

Just curious here.

ROM flashed fine and is working well. The familiar interface has me so happy (*doesn't like Sense UI*). Big thank you to Eugene!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
I'm trying to uninstall the Superuser.apk that shipped with this ROM and install the one from SlideMEROOT2 because I prefer that one. I've tried to do "adb shell rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk" but I get "Directory not empty."

Can anyone show me how to get rid of the default Superuser.apk?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
You have to do this from the Recovery First.. This is a know issue as our nand is not unlocked on the system partition during a running system.

Data is however with root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
that number looks a little low... stock before rooting I was betting between 398 and 407 with 1 or 2 times getting a 412 (right after booting up)

edit: just ran it on SlideMEROOT2 after phone has been on all day... texting, phone calls and browsing net and market. even have wifi tether running during test so I could type this and it scored a 390. either way considering this is supposed to be a mid-range device that is damn respectable since we are still locked down to 600 MHz max
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ArizonaDomer:
handcent and MMS work fine for me. On slideM and Slideme2. I have no issues at all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Thanks, I was able to uninstall the old one and write the new one to /system/app but the new one for some reason doesn't catch su requests. I installed the old one again and it work again. The su binary probably needs to be changed as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sl0play:
Was the clock widget that's missing part of the sense ui? If so, could you recommend a replacement? My only wish in a sublime rom. Thank you immensly for this!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
yes the clock/weather widget was locked to Sense the best free one I have seen in the Market is Fancy Widgets... it is very close to the stock HTC Sense widget
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sl0play:
Thank you for the fast response! I will check it out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
Just checking here,

1. This is a non Sense rom right?

2. If it is, is that the reason the picture widget is not on this rom? "is there a photo widget just like the stock widget on the android market someone could suggest to me, or am I able to take it out the other roms and push it??"

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It's a non-Sense rom in the sense [:p] that the Sense-related apps have all been removed. This rom is a barebones version of the stock rom with the addition of superuser, busybox and launcherpro.

Any apps/widgets you want can be taken from the slidemeroot2 rom, but Sense-based widgets will not work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
Is the photo widget a sense related widget??

Also this rom does not allow me to have 5 or 7 screens, its only letting me have 3!! Is that correct or is somthing wrong here??

I'm going to try n rebot real quick .
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
SlideM uses LauncherPro which may or may not allow for desktop customization. I recommend you find ADW.Launcher on the Android Market and download it. It is a much better home replacement IMHO.

As for the photo widget, try downloading CyanogenMod 5.0.8 and grabbing the Picture Frame widget out of there. That should do the trick.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
I am having issues sending mms still, owell
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sovereignty68:
This rom is missing a clock, is it normal???
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
So everyone else only has 3 home screens?

I've tryed adw launcher and luancher pro I actually like, except the 3 screen which I would like to fix "if possible"???

I will try that, I found the files in rootme2.zip so just make sure I have this right, I copy the two related files for the photo "which are the .apk and .odex files" then put them in the /system/app/ in the sdcard??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Eugene got a little overzealous when barebones-ing this rom. If you read through the pages of this thread you'll see the apps I recommend adding back in. WorldClock is one of them.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Essentially, yes. Be sure to follow the instructions in this thread for restoring/installing apps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sleepy3194:
Pretty nice ROM :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
Ok I'm in recovery mode, and at the part where I go to unmount /system and the screen just blinks.

so my issue is i'm trying to use this command " mv /sdcard/htcphotowidget.apk /system/app/" and it is coming up as an invalid command "MV"

so what am I doing wrong here, I followed all the steps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
ok I think I figured it out. I was doing something wrong but I think I got it to mv the files correctly.

I think I'm going to spend some time on a good how to thread on each step by step to move files. "finding the time to do it will be a great project it self lol "

ok well I moved the files, so how do I get the widget to come on the screen. I did the hole long press, choose widget but the widget is not in there. Does this mean it will not work?

Also in "dos" cmd- what is the command to view the files under the /system/app/ folder? is it dir?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
ok I feel pretty stupid, I found the options for the extra screens under the preference where you hit the button beside home. WOW this has some major features that I'm LOVING..

Ok so I'm guessing the photowidget from slidemeroot2 isn't going to work. I'm going to try the cm rom and I will update if it works.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
Oh I just thought of something, How do I remove those files that I placed in the /system/app/ ?? I looked under the astro manager, and it would not let me delete them.

ggrr
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Boot back into recovery and MV /system/app/[FILENAME] /sdcard
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
Ok sweet. So far I have done the following

Add the worldclock.apk "worked great but anyone looking for the weather thinger will not work"

Add the spareparts "didn't work"

Add the htcphotowidget "didn't work"

Added wireless_tether_2_0_5....... "worked but forceclosing" looking into that one more later

So I got the hole mv commands down pretty well. Now I'm just curious as to what else I can add to this beast!!!

So far I have to say this is the best rom out there. I'm very happy "especially once I get the Tethering working"

I am having MMS issues but I haven't done much to try to correct it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
Ok I tryed to use the htcphotowidget.apk and .odex from the legen rom and the phone wouldn't boot for me. Moved the files back to sdcard and the phone booted fine. So if anyone runs into that problem you know what to do.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
There's a thread on wireless tether that has a link to the working version.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
Yea I know, was already one their, has something to do with the superuser not working properly

Can anyone suggest any more cool widgets/apps I can add that's not in the market.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Gianttoe:
This is likely a stupid question, but does it come with Apps2SD?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Nope, nor should you really need it with much of the bloat removed. If you want a Slide running an Apps2SD rom you can try the Slidemeroot5r1 rom, but I don't know if it is truly ready for prime-time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chrisinaz:
This ROM is fast, stable, and I love LPro on it. I got two FC's on LP the first day it was flashed, but haven't had a single FC on anything since then (week and a half or so now?)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Gootah:
Hey!

Can I Buuf theme this build? I'm guessing this is a normal 2.1 build like on the droid..?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
ADW Launcher is so much better. Plus they have a support forum.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Gootah:
Uuuhh..

Answer anyone?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
Some stuff you can and some you can't. Contacts, Messenger and Browser still have the Slide theme because they are stock. The rest you should be able to theme.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Going to start working on SlideMr1 now that the root guide is updated and a2sd + recovery is posted!

ill try and have it out today

com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT error

Hi all!

I've rooted and installed the engineering bootloader then SlideM. All is great except for one thing. I try to add a shortcut to the desktop for a favorite for the "Scanner Radio" app and it won't let me. I can add the shortcut to the app just fine, but the "Scanner Radio Favorite" shortcut doesn't work. (It works on the EVO stock ROM, the Droid w/CM 5.0.8 ADW Launcher, and the G1 w/CM 5.0.8 ADW Launcher.) I installed the ADW launcher on the Slide, but it still didn't work. Heres a logcat snippet:

...

I'm stumped at this point - where do I get com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT from? Or, does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Problem in the App, Not the Rom!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mralexsays:
I kinda figured it'd be something like that, thanks!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlacsamana1989:
Yeah some apps aren't fully made for the Slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Here's a Quick Preview of SlideMr1

http://forum.androidspin.com/showpost.php?p=14285&postcount=3

ETA is for Today..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] UnkzDomain:
Here's a summary of the screenshots:

It seems like it uses ADW.Launcher or a stock Launcher2(?)

You can tether over USB from the regular dialog that appears when you plug in

Gallery3D is there

Stock camera app

The Genie Widget is there

The Genie Widget's Weather part works, too.

I'm not gonna post the screenshots here because Eugene posted it on another site and I think he wants people to use that since that's where all of his posts go first... Well, it's just a simple registration.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
You are more than welcome to.. No point in getting upset over something petty like that :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
Eugene did you remove the Espresso camera?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Yes, but I'm going to be adding it Back into the Rom, as the Camera app is much better than the Eclair camera app..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] UnkzDomain:
Haha well, I'm kinda lazy and stuck on my tethered phone for now, too... later today if nobody else has, I'll upload them since I'm going back to good ol' WiFi.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
So does this have any Sense UI at all? Or are the contacts app and dialer app etc the same as stock android
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
Anyone notice live wallpapers being very laggy?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] epeets:
i believe that has to do with the CPU not the rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
I tended to think that but I only asked because the wallpapers seem to be made for other phones aka nexus....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
The Nexus 1 LWP works just fine for me with no lag.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
this is the only one that doesnt lag much when switching screens
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chrisinaz:
I put the mario LWP on last night for ****s and it ran fine for me. the LWP itself was just a touch choppy, but the phone itself, switching between screens, etc, was just as fast as ever.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
Thats what i mean the LWPs are choppy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jonulf:
Some screen would be nice. Cause when I read Non-sense, I imagine stock everything. Did not realize it had sense contacts and dialer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
That is the Slide Rom Bible titling you are referring to. Read the original post.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jonulf:
OP... to me it scream non-sense for some reason. Not a big deal, just saying.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
Owch though these android widgets have me missing SenseUI.

ADW.Launcher is having problems with transparent open folders, though I got my 7 desktops.

Widgets I dislike: Music, Power Control (much prefer the individual settings widgets), and calander.

But other than that I have everything I want in a rom: Genius,Faves, LWP, and all the lights/etc working.

Love it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
Why would you want Faves?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
That's a very good question.

It also sounds like this person might as well just stick with stock + root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
I decided on SlideMeRoot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=703412

It has everything I want in the stock install plus root and LWP.

Now back to your regularly scheduled rom... ; )
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Jrbourque:
So im going to be rooting my wifes slide soon, because the stock rom has some bugs bothering me.....How is this running for everyone? any big issues that anyone is having?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bhilgeman:
This is still my favorite ROM. I've been toying with all of the CM betas and such but I always nandroid back to this...

If this ROM had apps2sd it would be the perfect ROM in my eyes... I run it with adw of course.

Good to see you on the slide boards. You still using your G1?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
Slide MR1 V4 is this rom with apps2sd.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bhilgeman:
No actually its not the same at all. There are many differences and the most important to me is that this ROM has exchange and google calendar integrated into the same app, and the contacts app has the option to search the company directory. SlideM is basically stock espresso with sense and t-mobile crapware removed. MR1 is closer to vanilla android...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
Finally installed this one (had been on Slidemeroot5) and am loving it.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
copy the apk (as long as its not odexed) to the system/app folder before resigning the zip

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] romis138:
Wiped and flashed, downgrading from CM6 2.2..but I'm stuck on the mytouch 3g slide splash screen. Been that way for about fifteen minutes, still no boot to this ROM.

Could it be that I need to downgrade my radio or something in order for it to even boot? What else could I be doing wrong?

Wiped using this method
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] romis138:
I keep getting LauncherPro expiration and update notices on this ROM and for some reason I can't upgrade on top of it without installation failing.

Any help? I've tried stopping the ROM from settings,applications but there isn't anything there to uninstall it. Uninstalling with AppManager fails.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] itsbuckyb:
same problem happens to me, back up your sd card and format it. Then flash with just update.zip and the rom on sd card.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] romis138:
Thanks, but someone gave me an easier solution - just install with ROM Manager Pro from within an existing ROM instead of using the vol-&power recovery screen.

I finally got this ROM up and running, but still can't get bluetooth to work. Enables and shows the button in the taskbar but doesn't find my device.

Maybe it's my device. I just got this phone and didn't even bother pairing my headset with the phone on stock..maybe the phone's bluetooth is busted if I'm not just having pairing problems?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crackabean:
Cant call out.

It's not letting me call out. I added the APN settings and everything..

Great rom btw.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] timj5150:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
Just flashed - Very nice Rom!!

I wiped as requested, do I need to re-apply the new radio mod?

edit: Also can someone upload the clock.apk (think that is what it is called)? I like the weather/clock combination.
