[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
Love having CM on my Slide. Thanks Eugene!

I'm torn though. Switching back to SlideMr1 for the time being so I have HTC_IME, Messenger (MIA after Flash) and Facebook Sync.

BTW H and E status icons got switched somehow...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wabster6:
any advice for facebook sync ??? dont mean to repeat question but would we be able to push the FB touch app with friendstream ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Not trying to be Rude, but that's my Focus at this point.. It a CM build.. CM don't have that..

Did you at least try putting the App on it?

Or are you Just asking.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
The friendstream app isn't supplying the Facebook sync functionality. That would be the HTCfacebook app. And the problem appears to be that this app directly integrates with the stock Contacts app. Because this (and other) roms replaces that app you lose the sync functionality.

So the solution is to either try adding back the stock Contacts app (tricky business) or to try and trick the Facebook for Android market app to allow Contact sync (also tricky).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
It just sucks that you have an Accounts and Sync tab that is useless except to Gmail...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wabster6:
Ah I see awesome .. thanks so much for clarifying
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
Doh... forgot to nandroid me SlideMr1... back to SlideM I guess and no creepy birds staring at me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Eugene, I really appreciate all your work on the Slide, but you're simply wrong about this. Both CM5 for Nexus and dream/sapphire support facebook contact sync. They, however, do so through the Facebook for Android market app and not the "proprietary" HtcFacebook.apk + Espresso Contacts method.

As for trying to replace the Contacts app with the stock version and adding back in the HtcFacebook.apk/odex files, I haven't personally tried that yet. I'm a bit hesitant to go flashing more roms after my debacle yesterday with wesblend.

I'm running your SlideMeRoot5r1 at the moment. ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
why are you putting word in my Mouth? Not Friend Stream in CM it Don't..

I'm Fully aware that facebook synce works..

Not Sure why you Felt to go out of your way to Look smart?

Everything You Post I already know. I just answer his Question about Friend stream!!

:rolleyes: for **** sakes :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Eugene, I'm not sure why you would take the correction so personally, but okay...

The fact is that Wabster6 was inquiring about Facebook sync -- he/she simply was unaware that there was more to it than the Friendstream app. I'm not trying to look smart; I'm simply trying to further the discussion and see how future CM5/6 builds are going to integrate stock functionality.

Relax, please -- nobody is trying to best you or put you down. We *all* appreciate your hard work, few more than me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Sorry about that. All I saw in the Question when I read was something about Friend stream app.. So I answered it..

That's why I answered the way I did..

My fault clearly after reading it again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It's no fault of yours. I can absolutely understand how you read the question the way you did, especially seeing as your response came before mine. My apologies if my 'correction' came off as smug/smart/rude.

Keep up all the great work you're doing for the Slide. It is *TRULY* appreciated by the community. And, btw, try and get some rest this holiday weekend and get yourself healed up. The dev-ing can wait a few days. ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Well... In all Honestly it's not loading ou usr keychars correctly which is cause the problem..

so at this point, it's between the usr & frameworks-res.apk I think...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Messaging is missing from Eugene's update. That's a pretty big thing to be missing?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wabster6:
My fault on not being clear with my quedtion ... I originally meant the htcfacebook app anyhow but the question was answered nontheless ... anyway eugene you rock !!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
1 app for all I did... Come on now. Just push the App over..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] i0nicx:
i posted that on androidspin since i wasn't sure where eugene would be looking/monitoring feedback.

currently using handcent currently(vomit). otherwise everything seems to be working perfect.

thanks eugene you the man =)

edit: seems you got to post before i did, i would push the app over but i don't have it sitting anywhere. will have to find it =P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
I'm not trying to discount what you've done, we owe rooting and some nice ROMs to you. I just flashed this and found it weird that Messaging was missing. Since Messaging is usually never missing, it struck me as odd that it did, which is why I was wondering if there was a reason for it or if I was just a mistakes.

Thanks for all you've done Eugene!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HighRidas:
link in op now has mms added back
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
yeah it was a mistake. I think I was moving it to data.. then ??? idk, lol.. totally forgot about it though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Thanks though for everything.

I had a question that isn't entirely related to this thread. But with the way I see you guys updating ROMs so quickly with fixes, is it just a matter of unzipping the ROM and adding your own stuff to it and then zipping it back up or do you have to sign the ROM in any way? Because HighRidas just updated the zip with MMS really fast, LOL!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HighRidas:
if you have a signing tool its simple all i did was add the mms app to eugenes zip and resigned piece of pie
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
most times you should sign it but you don't necessarily have to if you are using clockwork(which we all are on slide i think) as clockwork has an option to disable signature check
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
on another note, i have tried to edit some of the keylayouts in /system/usr/keylayout but it seems that i do not know how to remap number keys to the right buttons(right now they are: wer sdf xcv to get 123 456 789 and i would love to fix this and help out some.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lviv73:
WiFi tether not working.

Also i got Nexus bootscreen on 1st flash but after system wipe the regular CM screen came back.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] flyf0rawhiteguy:
Notification bar

Very nice ROM, thanks to all that contributed, esp. HighRidas for this one!

I want to help on this and am not by any means asking for someone to hold my hand but one thing I really like is the Black notification bar (on top). Is there an easy way to change this? Can anyone help pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
The animation shifts from Nexus to Cyanogen colors. NExus is like first five seconds and then it switches to blue (CM)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HighRidas:
black statbar update in OP...after flashing it your going to have to go to settings spareparts and change the clock and date colors then reboot
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Does this ROM have Company Directory and Exchange Calendar/E-Mail support?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Yeah, I noticed that the keyboard layout is not mapped correctly on the updated version. Almost reminds me of the Swype keyboard with the layout of the digits.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickL0V3:
on the latest update has anyone had trouble with WiFi?

it turns on, but when I select a connection it just sits trying to obtain the ip, fails, and does it again

also, still getting never-ending "installing" notifications when in the market (downloads page)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
hmm is anybody else getting root apps fail to exucute none of my root apps seem to be working :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
root apps didn't want to work for me, but i didn't get the endless installing(though the only app i installed from market was linda). but i also didn't stay on ROM long as i kinda like sense
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
owell i can live with out root apps for now im liking the rom to much. i dont use to many root apps anyways
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] here.david:
THANK YOU ! yes in caps....

New Device

Black MyTouch 3G Slide

Rooted With: Eugene's Torture Method. jk

Launcher: ADW Launcher

Rom: CM-5.0.8-EspressoV3_Eugene

I was wondering IF CM-5.0.8-EspressoV3_Eugene was for the 3g slide also....to many roms by the same folks makes it hard to know which end is up...I will have to correct my sig to be like yours....:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickL0V3:
SUFBS opened and I gave it root permissions but it wont actually show the filesystem

is the Top Paid tab showing up for you in the market?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lviv73:
Yea my wireless tether wouldnt work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Did anyone else's sync stop working? I've noticed that now neither my email nor calendars sync. I have to manually disable/reenable sync for it to do it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickL0V3:
YEAH! I didnt even think about it until this morning I opened GMail on my desktop and the mailbox was overflowing
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
Was a fix ever found for the keyboard numbers?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
Looking at it more now that I'm home, I will post if I find a fix of course

sent from my *ROOTED* mytouch 3g slide

EDIT: it appears that all the kl files in keylayout are the same in SMR5r1 as they are in this ROM, i have been comparing the files for a while now since getting home and it's bugging me. i wish i could figure this out i assume it's the qwerty.kl file but it matches exactly to the qwerty.kl from slidemeroot5r1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
no top paid isnt showing up for me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lckyluciano:
I too am suffering from syncing issue with this build and I just noticed that the message app is somehow missing? :confused:

I'm not able to receive or send any text messages, acore force closes when I try to send a text and the message app is completely missing from the launcher.

Does anybody know what APK I can push from an another build to restore messaging? Is anybody else suffering from this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickL0V3:
the latest upload (in the OP) has the messaging app re-added.

that threw me for a loop an hour after I flashed (and had already left my house)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lckyluciano:
There is a newer build than this one? CM-5.0.8-EspressoV3_Eugene373.zip
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Download it from the link on the original post. The OP updated the link.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lckyluciano:
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Let's try to gather all the open issues for this ROM. So so far the open/unresolved issues are:

Sync not working

Keyboard layout isn't correct

Root not working

WiFi Tethering not working

Updated...

Lack of "Top Paid" tab and (at least for me) constant "installing"

MMS seems to pick and choose when to work.

Wi-Fi to problems

Did I miss anything?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickL0V3:
some minor market problems: lack of "Top Paid" tab and (at least for me) constant "installing"

and MMS seems to pick and choose when to work.

also, I cant get WiFi to connect to anything (but it WILL start)

thats what Im experiencing, though from the sound of things I may be (mostly) alone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Wifi works fine for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
I can't see the galatic core live wallpaper I bought in the market.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RaffieKol:
WiFi wont work for me.

Im on a secured WPA network.

It just stays at obtaining address ???

Maybe it only works on non-secured networks ???
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
I am on a WPA secured network at home as well. I have no problem connecting to wifi and it stays coonected just fine. Try power cycling your router. Leave it unplugged for atleast 10 seconds.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] grrrizo:
I did this still says obtaining add on mine.its connects for a sec then tries to obtain again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Not sure what is wrong then. Try wiping and flashing again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
I bought certain live wallpapers from the market and now i cannot download them from the market nor even view them in the market at all, as if they do not exist.. anyone know how to fix this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
-The question mark key does not work with the fix posted after OP...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] brocktice:
Loving Eugene's update! Thanks!

I can, however, confirm a problem acquiring an IP now on my home network. Can't get logs now, will try later.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickL0V3:
thats what mine does when I try to connect
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nickL0V3:
the keymap hasnt been corrected yet. try using any of the FN keys and youll see
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] userfriendlyme:
well i tried this rom out after trying #teamslide I must say this is almost 100% better everything is about working properly including the apps2sd which took fine in this build but not in #teamslide with the same ext3 partition. the speed is just great and i saw posted about rooted apps not working but so far the ones i've tried i have not had any problems with. great work looking forward to more updates
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] brocktice:
Ok, used logcat to see what was going on with wifi. DHCP is timing out for some reason, the WPA handshake is fine.

I confirmed that by setting up a fixed IP, and now wifi works. I'm posting this over the working connection. No more time to dig now but I'll work on diagnosing it better later. Did anything change with the wifi or DHCP in particular in Eugene's recent updates?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Something got changed in eugenes update. Wifi works on the original CM 5.0.8 rom that was posted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
Know of a fix for the market? So itll show all apps instead of just some?|
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
sorry double post
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
replace the market apk and resign zip, that may work
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] brocktice:
Wifi Logcats

See attached wifi logs from 5.0.8 on my Dream (working) and my Slide, with V3.1 (DHCP not working).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] userfriendlyme:
same here. tries to obtain ip address but never connects. i dont use wifi much so i can wait for a fix. the teither app didnt work for me either and im using the most recent posting. but really enjoying this rom
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
so i have been toying with the keyboard stuff all day and ended up getting like 5 keys to work and were mapped correctly(including fn keys) but the rest of the keys did nothing. i am still looking into this but it's a little tedious at the same time
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HighRidas:
the op has fixed keyboard only keys missing are the keyboards- ?, menu, home, back, and the sym key fn keys work but the caps and fn lights(top left)dont
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
I had no problem connecting, try reflashing from the link on the front page. I am however nandroid back to slideM until there are some more updates on this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HighRidas:
for those having problems with wi-fi set a static IP and it should connect fine....half-assed but it works for now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] grrrizo:
is anyone else not getting any sound wen u get a txt.No matter wat ringtone I pick I get no sound.it will show recieveing a txt but no sound.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] userfriendlyme:
no i cant say i have the same issue i get sound no problem but theres no lights for notification for me .

No joy with Facebook and Flash Lite

I spent a bunch of time with Facebook for myTouch and Flash Lite today, playing with odexes and smali and all that jazz.

I got stuck in two places. If any of you have insight beyond, "There is too much non-stock stuff in the 'stock' Espresso ROM" (which might be the only answer), please state it here.

With facebook for mytouch, I get

E/PackageManager( 156): Package com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook has no signatures that match those in shared user com.htc.bg.uid.shared; ignoring!

JesusFreke told me in #smali that, "yeah - when you modify an apk, you have to resign it. If it's a standalone application (it doesn't share an id with anything else), then you can just resign it with your own key (or the test key from AOSP or whatever) and it will work fine [...] but if it uses a shared user id, every apk that uses that same id has to be signed with the same [key], so if you don't have that key, you have to resign all the apks that use that same shared id [...] although, there is a small flaw that you can use to prevent having to resign packages sometimes [...] if the signed apk has no classes.dex in it (i.e. if it was originally odexed), you can simply add the classes.dex file to the apk and it should still work. The signature system won't check the signature for entries that were added after it was signed [...] although, that may have been fixed in eclair/froyo - I haven't checked"

I can't find the app/jar that corresponds to com.htc.bg. Anyone know where that is?

As for Flash Lite, it seems to be something pretty deep -- the version of the OS in CM5 doesn't know about the plugin permission, it seems.

W/PackageManager( 157): Unknown permission android.webkit.permission.PLUGIN in package com.htc.flashliteplugin

Any thoughts?

Facebook sync workaround

Until I can get Facebook for MyTouch working, I justed used the CM workaround posted here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6405828#post6405828

Leaves me feeling dirty, but it seems to work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
HTC modified the Webkit (android browser) to allow Flash Lite to work. CM doesn't come with the same browser as Slide Sense... So the key is to look wat what HTC did to the browser.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] brocktice:
Browser plugin permissions

My concern is that the permissions are rooted deeper in the OS, and that more will have to be replaced. I'll bet FroYo has PLUGIN permission support, though. (/me goes to check...)

Exactly... Froyo == Jesus. Bringing internets/cellphone salvation.
