apparently htc is having issues actually... give it a couple days or so a nd try again
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chrisinaz:
Cool, I'll wait it out for now and see what happens.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xBANGx:
Hey..This is my first post...I am having problems with slidemeroot5 and app2sd...on mr1 v4 app2sd works...coming over to root5 it does not work...I have tried setting it up with sdparted and also thru parted...It set the partitions but all apps still install to phone...

When I go into clockwork and try to mount sdext it tells me..

( E:Can't Mount

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

( No Such Device)

Error mounting SDEXT:! )

Is there something wrong with the sd card or me....

I have formatted ,reformatted and ran sdparted and parted thru adb shell...

It shows the fat32 partition it shows the ext2 partitin and the swap partition when I Do print in adb shell / parted...

Any help would be great..love this rom but would love to have app2sd back...

Thanks ...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bmfc187:
everyone gets that error message, its just cus we use /system/sd/app instead. clockwork is setup to use /sd-ext/app so thats why it says that cus it cant find that directory cus it doesnt exist. that has nothing to do with whether your apps install to sd or to internal mem...

go to setting>sd &phone storage and make a mental note of your free internal storage, then download any app from the market and go check it again. if your internal mem goes down then you did do something wrong somewhere....if it stays the same then theyre going to sd like they should...

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xBANGx:
I did that.I have back breaker which i purchased and it is a 13 meg file..I am positive that they are going to phone mem...The problem is I have installed several other roms (that support app2sd) and also this one in the past and app2sd worked...I can install Slide Mr1 v4 right now and it will save to sd and app2sd will work...Now going back to Slidemeroot5 (for stability)It will not....I like the rom enough to deal with it but it would be nice to get it working..

I will just be patient and wait for a nice froyo to come along...

Thanks for the help/reply..

Has anyone experienced SMS issues with this rom?

From late Tuesday night until this morning, I sent over a dozen text messages, none of which were responded to. First I thought they weren't going through, then a friend of mine text me this morning and said he did receive my message and that he replied. I didn't get it. Then another friend told me the same thing.

You think this could be a rom issue or is it probably a carrier screw up?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
very rarely is ti going to be the rom... try texting yourself if that goes through then its definitely a carrier problem.. does your other data work? internet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MaGSiE:
nice work i really love this rom but i can't seem to apply LW on this any idea why?!? help pls i really like the flags LW here i know we can jst use launcher pro but i like how Sense works and looks pls help thnx
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I might be wrong but I dont think you can use LWP with Espresso Sense.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
Is there going to be an update to this rom? Or is this the end of sense roms for the mt3S
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xBANGx:
I believe Eugene had his baby this past weekend..He is the main guy for this rom...So I don't expect any updates any time soon
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
you cannot use lwp with espresso sense without it being edited to allow lwp which the sense in this rom doesnt have.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
You can use Live Wallpapers with this rom. You just can't use it with Espresso. Just install Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher. The live wallpapers actually work pretty good with this phone. Nice and speedy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MaGSiE:
Yea but hopefully they would find a way to make it work for sense I know everybody says no but hopefully the dev on our nice phone would make it a possible
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
Has anyone noticed that the "tiwlan0" device driver is missing from this rom or is it just me I was trying to figure out the issue with the wireless tether app and I followed the manual start instructions on the google troubleshooting page and got a repeating error.

"Cannot find device tiwlan0"

"tiwlan0. No such device"

After that I went to try to start my wifi and it also was unable to start.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
did you wipe all before loading rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
Im sure I did but ill back up my apps and reflash
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
Yeah I did a full wipe and get the same errors and wifi still isn't working is there a place I can download the drivers and put them in a signed .zip file and load them that way.

Btw I went straight from ENG to SMR5 should flash SMR2 first?

EDIT: confirmed wifi driver missing I downloaded the "aLogcat" app for android and went into settings and checked wifi got "unable to start wifi" and logcat said "error loading wifi driver"
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
I hope eugene updates this with the crap from the OTA update.

I like slidemeroot5r1.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
I love slidemeroot SMR5r1 I tried SMR5r5 and I can't use wifi logcat says error loading wifi driver.

Wiped all, reflashed, did all the troubleshooting I could without actually loading a new driver.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bhilgeman:
Where are you seeing 5r5?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
Here

http://androidspin.com/2010/06/26/rom-eugene373-slidemeroot5-for-the-t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
I don't believe there is a r5, if there was I'm sure Eugene would have told us in this thread.

I think what you flashed was slidemeroot5 (not r1) and I think r1 came because wifi was broke in the first release.

Go back to r1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
Oh ok I see when I was reading the thread I saw "version 5" I assumed it was a new release I bet that's the issue. Thanks anyway.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Mylenthes:
Hello, I recently used this rom and after using nandroid to restore my stock my wifi has not been working. Ive tried wiping then resstoring, Reflashing the slidemeroot rom, and more but its not working. Please help

EDIT: I just did a factory reset on my phone and removed the root and everything and my wifi STILL doesn't connect. It trys and then says disconnected I tried it on other wifi adresses and it still didn't connect. At this point I am really getting frustrated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
I'm having an issue, somewhere along the time doing nandroids, my FriendStream.apk broke. Every time I open it I get a FC error, stating that process.com.htc.friendstream has stopped, has anyone else been having this issue? I've pulled the .apk from the Slidemeroot 5r1 zip and did an adb push while in Clockwork, however it's not solved the problem, is there another step that I've been missing while doing this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
I wish Eugene would update this ROM to be based on the latest production OTA release, but I suppose it's best to focus on CM6. If I don't like CM6 enough I may update this ROM myself. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
please do! with eugene out of the game for a bit because of his new baby boy, it'll be a minute before we see any updates from him :'(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
i recently tried to update superuser to the latest version (2.3) and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. is it not supposed to be updated/changed? and may someone please tell me which version is installed on this rom to see if i can revert (tried 2.1 and still no luck). thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mesajoejoe:
Best MT3GS rom available still, next to stock. Havent had a single rom faster than this and stock yet.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Exactly! This is the best rom, better than CyanogenMod and TeamFenix 1.8

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daewond3r:
I recently came back to this from CM6 and flashed the 806 OC kernel. Man this thing FLYS now.

Anyway, one issue. I reverted by flashing an old nandroid backup I had. On first reboot I was alerted of a bunch of app updates, one being adw.launcher. So I updated. Now whenever I do just about anything and hit the home key, I get asked if I wanna use adw or sense. I can't get the default to stick to adw. What gives?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I like this rom, having the MyModes makes it easy to customize the appearance, and Live Wallpapers cool, Now I wish that if there's going to be a SlideMEROOT6 I wish it comes with Froyo :D but of course keeping the good features from Espresso,

I tried another rom before which had Froyo but it sucked I couldn't do multitask with notification bar, and had no Flash Player 10.1 :/ neighter HTC Flash,

So now I have this rom, I think is the best!

Cheers Eugene! Thank you for the time and effort :)

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
I am a beginner at the ADB but I'm getting to learn it quite easy. How do I uninstall tethering from adb? do I just remove the file and re copy it?

I'm still working on testing the sync, and wifi "looks like I was having an issue with wifi also"
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
last night, I flashed it but since a2sd didnt work and all my apps keep disappearing... I flashed back to slidem. wifi didnt work for me so I just assumed that wifi tether wont either but some people suggested replacing the tether.apk and it should work. I'm not sure whether they were referring to wifi only or just tethering or both. I was too angry about a2sd, I didn't even think about trying and replacing the apk.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
I'm able to bring up and start tether, but just pops an error and will not work.

Wifi is having major issues.

Sync seems to be working, but looks like I"m having issues with this also.

I might try out legend or just go back to smr2!!

Can't wait till eug gets foyo!! a beer is coming your way once completed!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
type in adb in console and it will give you a list of commands but I think its adb reinstall
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
awww I see. Take out tether.apk and then put in another from a different root file!! I would try that but hononstly I really was looking for the live back ground to work, plus tether so I'm probley just going to dumn this rom and try out legend. If i don't like that then its back to sm2 till foyo

My brother has it if for the droid, "I haven't seen it yet" but he said it was bad ass.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hypersonicx:
We will probaly have to wait for the official froyo from tmobile and htc before we see froyo with htc sense and froyo with mymodes.

A rom without the htc sense widgets would kinda defeat the purpose of the mytouch slide phone itself.

And aint no tellin with official froyo would be out probaly December lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
well, my card works fine with a2sd on my g1. I just tried it out and everything is good. so, its definitely this rom and not any error on my part. unless it doesnt support EXT4, lol! wow, that would be a step backwards...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Same issues as everyone, wifi cant start, wifi tether not working (but can be fixed), and apps2sd deleting on restart.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
oh so your a2sd disappear on reboot too? what type of EXT are you using?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
I'm going to try the legend. If not then I'm gonna go back to sm2, I just didn't like how I had to use the launcher to use live back grounds.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
well, eugene is allegedly fixing this rom today or tonight if you wanna wait but if you really need wifi (lack of 3G?) I would switch for now too. I had too because I couldnt install any apps lol. there are graphical errors and no keyboard light if you can live with those. for me the most stable are slideM (no sense ui) and slidemeroot2 (sense ui)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
I spoke to soon on the WiFi app ... it does not work. Installed via ADB; still did not work. Was messing around with clockwork mod options and totally broke the apps2sd. Bummer. I rebooted several times with no loss of apps2sd prior to messing with clockwork mod so I am sure whatever I did in clockwork mod is what broke it. I am using an ext2 partition as I forgot to upgrade it before flashing this ROM. Usually I use ext4. I think the reason my apps2sd held in the first place was because I was using ADW as my launcher. Nandroid restore back to slideMEROOT2 successful. First flash since slideMEROOT2 and although things didn't work out it was nice to give it a go and still be able to nandroid back.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
I gave up on the legend, I couldn't get the file to push over for some reason. The first time I push it, it completed but then I went to select the file and it wasn't there "in recovery" so I just gave up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
see, thats what I thought about a2sd. it was the theme fc that corrupts it on a reboot.

yeah, hopefully things will go better this time. eugene said he's rebuilding it from scratch.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xspeed9190:
I'm curious why do we care about a2sd..it was a fix for the g1 when we needed ram space for hero roms now our phones have plenty. A2sd is slower than on mobo ram and kills the sd card faster as well as uses more batterylife.. the only real benefit is that when u reflash you don't have to reinstall everything. And opposition enlighten me please
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hypersonicx:
We need A2SD because there is not enough memory onboard for enough appz. Im on stock havnt rooted yet and Im allways uninstalling appz to have enough space to install a new app. Strange, On the original mytouch I never ran out of space and this was without ap2sd but on the mytouch slide after installing a couple games, installed igo gps and a couple other apps I get the low mem yield in the status bar and my google talk stops opening.

So a2sd is definetly needed. That or Froyo which has it built in the OS.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xspeed9190:
Yea I have customers coming in complaining about app space.. hopefully when we get the kernels hacked we will get .33 and get the extra ram like the n1 cause there's plenty there
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
thats odd, I've installed at least over 20-30 apps with games like 5-6 games. I haven't came close to running out of space that I know of. I just like it for the when we have to go to different roms cause I have a poor memorie and takes me weeks to figure out all the apps I used to have.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
What format should the partition be? FAT, FAT32?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
I missed this, Yes I have to have wifi, cause I do not feel like drive 20 minutes up the road to get 3g service lol .

Well I found that copy n paste worked for the legend.zip file so I'm not sure why we always have to use adb???

Sooo I am going to install legend just for **** n giggles, but really interested in the 5 to work all the way cause it looks like a winner without all the bugs.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] beartard:
FAT32 for the normal partition...some version of ext for the apps2sd partition. ext4 is the newest. Ask if Slide ROMs support it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] h.nocturna:
Ext2. Maybe ext3 or ext4 if it's supported.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
Ok so i'm trying to find a good tutorial on partitioning my sd card and I'm not really getting anything on google that seems current enough. Can anyone give me a link?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Do you have another android handset, ideally one running Amon_RA's recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
no this is the only android phone I have. I found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619290. Shows how to partition but it says it's not for apps2sd?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Burn yourself an ubuntu live CD, use gparted to partition the sdcard (after backing up the content you have on the FAT partition, restore the content to the FAT partition.

It shouldn't take too long and it's not too difficult. As sino8r suggests above, google it. Lots of walkthroughs are available.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jr58:
I installed this rom, and it installed very quick...but...

I don't know what's wrong. I wiped everything, but when I installed this, the phone remains the same. I have the same iPhone-like icons, and my Wifi still works (even though it isn't supposed to), so I guess this rom wasn't installed.

Any ideas why?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lviv73:
Anyone knows if Root Explorer is working on this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] asterix005:
it will install ok but will not work ok. if you delete apk from system it will come back after reboot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] asterix005:
best way to get rid of unwanted apk is to make your own custom rom based on this build
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
ummm wanna make the EDIT??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
Did you flash the ENG Build first and update the Radio?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] asterix005:
thanx. will do
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
I think im actually using Ext2 i forgot to convert to EXT3 on my amon ra recovery :P but im going to be checking out EXT3 and see what happens with that
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
Guys dont worry about which partition type to use. Just use EXT4. It was definately the rom and not our partitions. Eugene posted that wifi, lwp, and a2sd are fixed now. He's releasing it any minute. Check the progress out at... http://mobile.twitter.com/Eugene_373
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Sweetness. now i jsut gotta get the EXT4. Really need to check out this undunto live cd thing, gonna come in handy.

Suppose while I wait I'll check out the new CyanogenMod 5.0.8 on my G1. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
hey wait if you load the amon ra recovery on your g1, you can partition the sd card in recovery. its really simple to load the recovery and execute the a2sd command. you are in luck... non G1 owners might have a more difficult time but live ubuntu cd is so simple. download file burn cd and run gparted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
lol. This is what i told the people in the "best partition" thread. but i can only get to EXT3 with it not EXT4 unless my recovery isnt the latest o: have been out of the G1 rooting for some time now.

Checking it out as we speak tho
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I partitioned my sd with ext4...patiently awaiting eugene to drop the new smr5 with the fixes and going to test out a2sd
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
thats why i prefer the linux ubuntu live cd. the gparted program rocks! it allows you to shrink and grow partitions, change them to fat,ext, etc, plus it repairs and formats too. its nice to have... I love it so much I installed linux full via live cd to my pc. now it is dual boot (partitioned my hard drive via gparted). if xp gets a virus or is screwed up, i can always boot from linux. its quite handy and worth the hour or so it takes to install. the live cd takes about 15 minutes to make and use.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I threw Ubuntu full onto a flash drive lol...it should run decent at 480mbps over USB 2.0
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
I have a friend who uses ubuntu and i checked it out on VNC i was liking what i saw. I wouldnt mind dual booting but no really need for me to do that yet. once had a computer with Windows xp and one of the earlier windows forgot, but wasnt good for the computer soo i trashed it.

but 30 min on the download then i can make the cd..wish i had my faster internet

oo ima senior member now, didnt notice that :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Update is out !!!

here is the update link for Eugenes SLIDEMEROOT5r1 http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=2802
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
SlideMeRoot5r1

I'd say go ahead and wipe, just to get a clean build with no errors would be smart.

Lets see..

!. Wifi works

2. Apps2sd works

3. Wifi tether, going to test tommorow

4. What happened to the bubbles on icons, thought this was removed on the origional 5?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
Wipe or No Wipe update?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
he didnt say but I usualy do wipe all the time ! :-p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I did a wipe too...I had smr2. Don't forget to make a nandroid backup before you wipe!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
Made my nandroid about 3 hours ago waiting for this. Never had a need to rely on a nandroid back with my G1 and Cliq, but figured why not start now. I've sent a reply on twitter, lets hope he picks it up and replies about it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Good call on the nandroid backup. Its always good to keep a good nandroid...just in case
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
I would wipe, but being that it's build on the same rom.. wipe may not be needed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
How long you guys experiencing the initial boot black screen? Mine's pushing 20 minutes. Is this long black screen only on the first boot after flashing?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
Thanks, the only reason why I had asked was because I hate having to re-download all of my apps again. Titanium Backup isn't working right for some reason, so it's not like I'm going to have it easy getting them all back as of now. Oh well, hopefully there's no glaring bugs that made it through.

Booting now.

E @4:31 and I'm up and running.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
After Flash took a min to load to the black screen. The black screen lasted about anoter min, then it was fine. 20 min is odd?

Restarted phone to check apps2sd and the black screen reappeared, but only lasted like 5 seconds.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
How long did you get the black screen for on bootup? I'm almost at 30 minutes now!! You flashed to slidemeroot5r1?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
If you already had a2sd running, make sure you
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I had slidemeroot2. I wiped phone factory in Clockwork. Apply zip from SD. Chose the smr5r1 and it flashed. I chose reboot device and now 30+ mins of black screen. I partitioned the SD card with FAT and ext4. Should I do battery pull and boot into recovery again and try to flash again?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
Only for about a minute or two.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Whats this gonna do or show us?

worked for me tho

dont you need the linux-swap partition?
