which stock rom? slidemeroot or whatever? I mean officially this phone isn't supported but every rom I have used it one works fine with the htc aria one. in fact, I can flash the lastest clockwork recovery and use that no problems. I dont understand why so many folks are having all these issues with a perfect rom?! its gotta be due to the fact that people dont wipe their device and/or EXT, repair sdcard by checkdisk, run fix permissions or any of the normal maintenance stuff.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] em2drvr03:
like just rooted....no rom flashed or eng
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
you must flash eng. build and then this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=703412

then you'll have a rooted stock version that can actually use full root apps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] em2drvr03:
im having a very hard time flashing the eng build
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
just flashed, has anyone figured out how to get the facebook pictures to sync with contacts on this build?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
When you hold the power button down the phone doesnt seem to shut off and I don't get an option to power it down it just seems like it's doing a really fast reboot. Anyone know how to power the phone off? Thanks in advance...btw awesome ROM Eugene you always come through :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
? Mine Powers Off fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] em2drvr03:
i just flash eng and i still cant get to clockwork...how come
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Had the same issue myself. Are you by any chance not using apps2sd???
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Very weird mine is doing what I described. Also I am trying to set up my email and the phone seems to be randomly rebooting itself?? :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Connect the slide to your pc and see if it does the same thing
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Now it seems to be rebooting itself constantly...I'll be on the home screen and reboot comes back on for like 10 seconds and reboot it just started doing this now all of the sudden. I had the ROM for about an hour and over the last 5 minutes these reboots have been happening.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stangri:
To anyone who has installed it -- does it have vanilla android contacts app or the one from HTC?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Uses the htc contacts app. The espresso contacts
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I did another full wipe and flash...This time I didn't apply the lock screen update...seems to be working good atm...Maybe I applied the lock screen update incorrectly?? How do you apply it as an update?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] alluzzion2o9:
i have wiped the device and app-private before flashing, otherwise i'd get bootloop... after proper wipe and flashing all went fine. i havent done much really after flashing the rom except download a few more apps and leaving my phone idle... then all of a sudden my phone will go "droid" the continue as if it was rebooted... its been happening a while now from just little things like letting my son play atilt or just trying to use gps while on the road. and the funny thing is it hasnt happened in the past few hrs and i havnt done any changes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
These random reboots starting happening to me as well very frequently. Alluzion did you use a settings backup/restore app and restore settings and then the boots started happening?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] alluzzion2o9:
i did but that was well more than 12 hrs then the reboots started happening. it started happening out of the blue without doing nothing to my phone. the last thing i did was download some apps. after the last reboot the randomness hasnt happened in the past hrs... again i havent done anything but check what time it was and check this thread.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
You can Not use Back-up & Restoe app that try to mount system in anyway.. Or you will Get exactly the reboot issue at hand..

Mounting the System as RW will reboot the Phone, this has been Covered before.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] alluzzion2o9:
oic then it is the backup/restore app... it just seemed odd that i restored my data but the reboots did not kick in until 12 hrs later... if it was the app, wouldn't it kick in right there and then? i have schedualed a backup of everything but i schedualed it 4am... the reboots started happening in close to evening... anyways i will do without the app. thank you for your help AND a great rom nonetheless.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyncere:
I too seem to have this problem on v4 remix
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elsocplayer:
Yeah i noticed about the stock calendar a few minutes later....hee,hee,hee....thanx for the great rom!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
I am having the same problem (phone just does a fast reboot and gives no options for shutdown/airplane mode/silent etc.)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mralexsays:
Yep, same problem here. I didn't notice it until I installed the eclair lock screen zip, could that have anything to do with it? (And is there a way to get back to the slide lock screen to test that theory?)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] epeets:
anyone have an idea on how I can get the genuis app back on here and if possible mapped back to the genuis button? I like the app. Doesn't seem right to at least not have it installed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rain_ten:
I was having a number of similar rebooting/powerbutton not working issues with the lockscreen update and Clay's Remix.

After using Slidemr1v4 for almost 24 hours without a problem. I tried the lockscreen update. After flashing, the device would keep rebooting to the "droid" bootup screen. There was a SIM card error message in the top right hand corner, and the power button wouldn't give me the option to power off. It would just keep rebooting. Tried redownloading the update, no luck. Even did a full wipe, including ext. partition, then flashed lockscreen update, same thing.

Almost immediately afterwards, I tried flashing Clay's Remix. Starting from a fresh Wipe (including ext partition using Amon_ra's recovery on the MT3G) of everything, as I always do, flashed Remix and was getting the same reboots, same issues with SIM card not being detected. Even tried flashing another ROM with success, then doing a full wipe and flashing Clay's, no luck.

Reverted back to Slide mr1v4 because it's such a perfect ROM anyway, but I would like to Clay's ROM because I've always liked his stuff. I just didn't have time to look into the problem, and anyway I don't know enough about how to fix this.

I could reproduce the issue later and get logcats if anyone is interested?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyncere:
Using v4 remix the lockscreen doesn't seem to work consistently if at all. I can press ANY button & wake up the phone to NO lockscreen but whatever I was last doing in fact I only seen the lockscreen when I first booted up.

This coupled with the power button issue makes me want to wipe & flash the original rom until a couple things r worked out in the remix great effort tho it's great appreciated =)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mayormullet:
I had the same problems with the eclair lock screen, went back to espresso lock screen and things went back to normal.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mralexsays:
How did you go back to the espresso lock screen? Reflash?

Update: I figured it out:

extract system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk and system/framework/android.policy.jar from SlideMr4.zip

reboot into clockworkmod recovery, mount system partition and adb push those files to their respective locations

wipe cache and reboot

Now my power button works as expected and I have the espresso lock screen back.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyncere:
If ur getting a sim error (incorrect pin)phone keeps rebooting turn OFF the sim lock

I had the same initial problem let me guess you have your sim lock on right? turn it off & you should be able to flash & boot with no problem I tweeted this to htcclay so maybe he'll look into it hope this helps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] retro1010:
After I installed the lockscreen update I was having the power button problem. I went into spare parts, set red power button to "do nothing" used quickboot to run a normal reboot process. Then went back to spareparts, set it back to power. And it has worked perfectly since.

Almost 2 days on this rom. Its pretty much perfect!

Thanks Eugene
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] beatbreaker:
well this has been my first post in a while... but i felt it was due... WAY TO GO EUGENE... I love this rom... i cant wait to see what you do with Froyo... but i know for one thing... that this is the rom thats gonna hold me over until you do get to it... THaNX .... Donation button here i come... Great job... and with your wipe and format it works flawlessly... if anyone is having ANY FC's .. go into the Rom manager and run the Fix Permissions utility!

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SgtWyatt:
So I've gone through the forum and done searches and am thoroughly confused. I flashed my phone with the latest ROM in the OP last night. I've read the description over and over again and I'm pretty sure that it says Swype is included and all I have to do is go to the Keyboard settings to enable it yet when I go there there is only the Touch option. I even reflashed thinking that I had downloaded an old ROM somehow and still no Swype. Am I just an idiot or was it taken out of the release for some reason? This ROM is awesome but not having Swype is killing me and when I tried to install it as an app I ended up with FC and two entries of Swype in the Keyboard settings. I did a system wide search for Swype using Root Explorer and didn't see the app either.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mralexsays:
I had the same problem at first - it turns out that my sdcard was formated:

partition 1:vfat

partition 2:swap

partition 3:ext3

but the ext2/3 partition for this ROM must be partition 2. After I repartitioned and reflashed, I had swype and everything else that should be in this rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rain_ten:
Hey, thanks. I'll try this out when I get home.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ok, I'm bumping my post with an update on my findings. I wiped again using stock recovery and reflashed the ROM for a completely clean install, again no a2sd, meaning no ext. After reboot and before logging in to the Market, internal storage showed 89MB.

Now for the questions: I've never delved into this because I never had to and I'm sure it's basic, but, is this because more apps are being placed in /data as opposed to /system and this is our internal storage? Also I seem to remember slideMEROOT5r1 had a lot more internal available. Anyone?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SgtWyatt:
That worked! I verified that my partitions were in the proper order and then did a wipe/reflash and Swype was there! Thanks so much!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rain_ten:
Couldn't wait to get home. Turned off SIM Lock. Wiped everything, flashed Remix. Works perfectly. The Rom is gorgeous, and fast. Thanks Cyncere. Thanks especially to the super tag team combination of Eugene and Clay.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlacsamana1989:
okay looks like you should reflash the rom. Make sure when your in clockworkmod recovery that you wipe all the data before flashing the rom and when flashing the rom make sure you flash the correct zip file should have V4 next to it if you havent renamed it. Dont know if your using nandroid or not but be sure not to restore a backup from a previous version, this update requires a full wipe unlike the others.

after all this go to setting>language&keyboads then enable swype. Then go to a text message and click and hold the area you write in and go to touch input and select swype. Make sure you do not have other swype apks installed as this might counterflick with the stock one eugene has included.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyncere:
Lockscreen not working in original or remix after initial boot?

Okay so originally i was having a problem with the lockscreen showing up on the remix so I have since wiped & flashed the original but I notice the lockscreen doesn't seem to come up on here either I can press ANY button & wake up the screen to the last thing I was doing. For ****s & giggles i turned on the pattern lock & guess what that doesn't lock the screen either :eek:

Anyone else experiencing this??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SgtWyatt:
Yup, worked perfectly. I'm very happy (just training myself to ignore the sync icon that seems to get stuck periodically). This will tide me over a while until a good Froyo ROM is released. Thanks devs!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mtjnkee:
swap?

i have found a few bugs but after running the permissions fix in rom manager all issues have been fixed with the exception of sync, had to import my google contacts through a vcard :( Does any one have swap working? Free shows that it isn't and is there a quick script i can run? Will swapper2 hurt anything on this rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rain_ten:
Yeah, I've been having all kinds of problems with the lockscreen. Even after flashing to Remix, with the SIM card detected, I still had problems with the power button, as described by others in the posts above. I did the same as someone above and just replaced android.policy.jar and the htclockscreen.apk. I really like the Remix ROM, but the lockscreen just causes too many issues for me. With this ROM my best suggestion is to use it without the lockscreen update.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rain_ten:
I haven't tried Swapper on this ROM, but I don't think you need it either. There's so much free memory that swap is redundant.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fenixnr:
My clock is in military time, is there a way to change this?

NM figured it out, I just needed to look harder.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
go to the app drawer, click on settings, click on date and time, click on use 24 hour format
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Foolish Frost:
Oddly, running the perms fixer actually freaked my phone out. Badly. In nasty ways. Power off failed to work anymore to bring up a menu, and after reloading the rom, it's now saying "droid" every few minutes, obviously having a reboot issue.

Eh. I'll get it working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pagantek:
Oh, my Cube-mate hated me until i yanked the battery because of that "droid!""droid!" boot loop. i had just finished with the eng rom and the radio fix , and i was very excitd about this as my first rom flash.

I ended up wiping all again, and reinstalled the rom. that seemed to do it. Thanks :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Foolish Frost:
Oh, it was a simple process. actually.

Wipe everything, reformat and partition the sdcard, and reload the rom. Total rebuild of the system from the bottom up.

Seems fine now. Not sure if it was the new lock screen, or the permission program that freaked out the system, but it's all fine, so long as you can wipe and reload.

<shrugs> I consider it a learning experience, actually, and since apps are tied to your gmail account, reloading them is also easy.

I do want to thank all of the people making these kits for us to use. Buggy or not, this is a lot of work for the people helping the rest of us with these features.

I have to say, it's kinda fun to tear this thing down and rebuild it over and over. Any idea if this is bad for these phones in any way?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eleeo037037:
Have been running the rom since it was released haven't found anything wrong yet the only thing is the sync icon stays on. Does this run the battery faster? Any fix for this yet? Overall best expresso rom yet.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NoClue3378:
I discovered I had the same problem but it didn't start until I linked my facebook contacts. From what I can tell the sync is always on cause it's always updating your contacts from facebook. It is draining the battery! But I solved it by doing a wipe and not linking the contact list. It shouldn't be a big deal if your already synced to google contacts and facebook cause when you get back your contact list from google it should have everybody's picture from the last time you were synced to facebook.

This ROM is the BOMB!!! Buying Eugene a case of Pepsi right now!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlacsamana1989:
Hey eugene is there anyway you can make a zip file to go back to the expresso lock screen. i did not create a nandroid before i loaded the lockscreen zip and I do not understand how to get the stock one back via peoples explantion.

thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eleeo037037:
I had the same issue all I did was flash the MR4 rom again without wipe or anything. It gave me the lockscreen that came with the phone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
ok i really ****ed something up here.

So I flashed and got everything working and installed V4, however my apps2sd wasnt working correctly so after a full day of trying to get it working i really ****ed something up. When I go into system recovery to try to apply the update.zip to get into recovery I get this error

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 p1 (or /dev/bloack/mmcblk0)

(invalid argument)

it trys about 8 times and just fails...

now im stuck on the engineering build and cant flash into anything else.

anyone have any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Power off... Removed the Sdcard.. boot into the Rom... Insert the sdcard.. Reboot into recovery..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
Didn't seem to work for me. Is it possible that I toasted my sdcard trying to partion it? I can see it and copy to it still. My class 6 sd card does the same thing. After I parition it in ubuntu and put it into the phone it says damaged sd card and asks me to format it. Both the stock card and my class 6 do it.

Parition settings

32 linux swap

512 ext 2

Remainder fat32 its like 6.4 gigs

I have also tried

512 ext 3

6.8 gig fat 32

Upon inserting it into the phone it says its damaged and formats it into one big drive
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] itsmekeoni:
I've reinstalled this ROM about 10 times now and 9 out of the 10 I've had the reboot loop problem. I figured out it was because I was remount /system with rw but after I stopped the phone worked great for 12+ hours then it started the boot loop after a text msg and a phone call was placed.

The SD card was reported as being damaged yet was still working but to be on the safe side I ran check disk on it (in Windows 7) and it found one error and fixed it and the card worked fine after that, I attribute that issue with the constant reboots.

I want to love this ROM but so far it has been troublesome. This phone has been troublesome lol.

I've wiped everything and have done various things like install apps and back ups (using Titanium Backup), I've remounted the /system partition in recovery to avoid boot loops (it didn't instant reboot loop when doing it like that) and a host of other things. I've read through this thread and envy the people having an easy time with this (lol) but I can't seem to get this working right, am I missing something?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Are you using the backup program to restore all your settings after you load the ROM? I started getting constant boots right after I restored app settings through My Backup Pro. Also, anyone having issues with FC's when going into contacts and attempting to access "Company Directory"? I need to use my phone for work and if I can't access my company directory then I unfortunately, can't use this ROM. Has anyone experienced this with Company Directory? Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] itsmekeoni:
At first I restored all the settings then I started to only restore the apps with data. If I keep getting the reboot loop I'm just going to try and leave it without apps restored.

My wife doesn't use company directory so I can't comment on that besides saying try and run fix_permissions and hope for the best lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
As soon as I restored any data using a backup/restore program I started getting the boot loops. Also, applying the lock screen fix started screwing up this ROM big time for me. Quick question, how do I run the fix_permissions?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
for some reason I went back to the ENG build and it looks like I dont have root on it when I use rom manager, When I boot into Anroid system recovery to try to boot into clockwork recovery I get all these errors

E: Can't Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

then all the way at the bottom it says

E: Can't Find /sdcard/update.zip

installation aborted.

I have rooted the phone before, Cant even use the loop method because it does push the update.zip but for some reason the phone doesnt see it in recovery mode

I have tried everything, pretty sure im screwed and will be stuck on the ENG build forever =[
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Guys for the Last Time!!!!!!!!!!

Stop Using back-up restore on the Slide, the Moment you mount the System rw it will Reboot the system.. Back-up restore programs are useless at this point.. Use the recovery and CWM to pull everything in data if you need to restore.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Then let if Format!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
I have let it format, but this doesnt help. I can no longer read the sdcard to get into clockworkmod. I am now back on the stock rom. I can read the sdcard inside windows but never inside the recovery

it does this about 10 times

E: Can't Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

then at the end it says

E: Can't Find /sdcard/update.zip

Something is wrong and ive been trying to fix it for 2 days now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
awe, okay I have that happen as well... Just keep removing and inserting it into the Phone & hope it works...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
while in recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Sadly no.. Doing that in recovery wont work as well... Do it from a Working system, & you Might have to Reboot a Few time's as well.. Not sure why it does this, but I feel your pain. I had it happen once as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
but the sdworks when im not in recovery, I unrooted and im trying to root again but when in recovery trying to apply update.zip is where im getting the error trying to get into clockworkmod.

(Invalid Argument)

E: Reading Package... retry 8

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(Invalid Argument)

it retrys this 10 times then finally

E: Can't find /sdcard/update.zip Installation aborted.

But if I boot and adb shell

I see update.zip in /sdcard
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Have you tried using another update.zip? might been corrected.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kashinc:
Yes I have tried that, I am now seeing a permissions denied. trying to use the simpleroot method

Failed to copy 'ota.zip' to '/sdcard/upate.zip': Permission denied.

even trying manually I am getting Permission Denied.

but When I do adb devices

I see my device in recovery mode

adb push to sdcard is just getting permission denied no matter what i do
