Not worthy, Not worthy, Not worthy, Not worthy

This is awesomesauce thanks Eugene this is great at last apps2SD so that I can install all my games and apk ( i have over 1g of them lls)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
So is partitioning the SD card absolutely necessary for apps2sd?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
yeah its easy. the easiest way is to make a live cd of ubuntu (linux). run gparted program and create the partition on the sd card. its simple and takes 20 minutes including making live cd. just google it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rbgmode:
Wifi broke?

well not sure if it is just an on and off thing but my wifi fails to start
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
that's a known issue, also it seems that sync doesn't sync forever as eugene said he fixed it, but now i have to manually sync my email which defeats the purpose of getting it on my phone if i have to tell it to refresh manually. going back to SMR2
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
My apps2sd stay after reboot, my mail syncs automatically, reinstalled WiFi tether and it works perfectly. Thanks Eugene!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
What type of partition are you using? Ext2, 3, or 4? What works perfectly after reinstalling wifi tehter? Wifi or just the tether program?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eagle20g:
installed this, and I am not able to get the live background to work, or tethering for that matter.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
if you are familiar with adb, reinstall wifi tether. check back with us and let us know whether wifi starts working or just the tether portion. I'm checking on A2SD as we speak...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hypersonicx:
Im curious too as to wether not standard WiFi fully works and does GMail sync fully work?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
You do Realize it was like that on the Factory rom correct?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Cal-El:
No issues at all with mine. Been running it since you released it. Data is going strong. Thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
No I did not know that. Never really had a problem til I flashed R1. Guess its TMO and not the rom. Thanks for that input though. Guess I will just enable wireless and hope I can find an open connection when I am out and about since I cant connect to TMO internet.

UPDATE: Guess it would be my "data" connection and not "internet" connection if keeping term correct. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY DATA CONNECTION T-MOBILE?!?! :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Mine has been like that... THough I noticed in spots where it jumps from 3G to 3.5G is when I get > Retry again < to connect.

I'm so much sure if this is Really an issue, but the ssh is :mad:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
ill try to double check the ssh issue. I will remove my partitons and go back to no a2sd and see what happens to be sure then go back to a2sd and test again... ill wipe each time to make sure I'm am doing this on a clean system
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ya, T-Mobile seems to have been messing with the tower near my house since the Slide launched on the 2nd. I'll get up to 2.5mbps download one day to maybe 500kbps, if I'm lucky, the next.

On topic; R1 has been running great. I can't seem to recreate the music issue I reported earlier. Great work, eugene! I'm definitely donating when I get a job or extra cash! :p

APPS2sd

I tried checking if APPS2SD was working and when i go into adb shell and run the cd command to go into the app it says cannot CD into it IDK why.... I wanna know if theres a way to know my APPS2SD is working please??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
I might just wait for 2.2 before I continue to use a2sd but ill still test when I am home and can backup my sd
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] skullkandy:
so can I install and use this rom if I am not using a2sd and the new clockwork?

I'm using the old clockwork and slidemeroot2 currently. am i able to just use the standard rom installation process that I've used to switch between slidemeroot2, legend, and slideM or would this cause problems?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
Yes.. you don't have to use a2sd

A2sd will only work if u partition ur sd card for it.. otherwise it will use ur phone for apps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] skullkandy:
got this rom running, very smooth.

the only issue I'm having is my wi-fi tether isn't working. I installed the stable .apk that worked for me on slidemeroot2 and when I run it it says "started but with errors"

Is there a specific version of wi-fi tether that I'm supposed to use with this rom other than the one listed under these forums that worked with eugenes previous roms?

when i look at the log to see the errros everything above and including "setting channel" failed.

*Edit* not sure if this is the problem but I did notice that when I download the rom it downloads slidemeroot5.zip without the "r". I can't use the download link to 4shared because it's blocked from my work network so I use the androidspin.com developer pages to download it from. Maybe i'm not getting the updated one.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Gootah:
Question...

I'm new to android and I keep seeing things about "Busybox". I didn't care about it till I seen that it can increase volume. Is it in this ROM?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
I wiped/installed SMR5r1, and it had Wifi Tether on it, and I just tested it last night, works fine. What is not "working" for you?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Can you cd into any other folder? Try just cd'ing into sdcard

adb shell
cd /sdcard/
ls
[you should see stuff from your SD here]

Edit: I've also seen this working without a forward slash in front of the directory name, but I've always used a forward slash at the beginning.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] skullkandy:
I got it working. It was user error.

One of the download links on androidspin for slidemeroot5r1 actually downloads slidemeroot5 still which is what I was trying to use, as soon as I got the actual slidemeroot5r1 it worked.....well it didn't just work, it was glorious.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
has anyone gotten any of the boot animations to work with this?

I tried but it's always a black screen. If that's how it's going to be I'm fine with that, I just don't want to keep messing with boot animations.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] akapunchy:
i have tried n am also gettin' d black screen, butt i am not sure if it is b'cause of user error. which is a possibility... have u had boot animations workin' n other roms? if so, perhaps u could give me sum tips?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Gootah:
hehehe

"butt" lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
I had them working on slidemeroot2.

I think they don't work on 5 because of apps2sd and the way it's black normally.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
wifi tether is not working me. it will run however when i try to connect, it never goes through. i've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the apk. still no luck. any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Yes, and it's in most ROM's. Fir a better description, check this out: http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html

At the risk of sounding dumb, is wifi on the phone off? It won't work, if it is.

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
I found this out by accident. I figured if I activated the tether, it would automatically activate wifi.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
i haven't tried to use wifi tether yet, but i remember on the G1 i didn't have to enable wifi, we just had to start wifi tether and it was up and running in a few minutes
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
turned wifi on & still no luck. =[
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Did you install SlideMeRoot5 or SlideMeRoot5r1? The former has broken wifi; the latter has working wifi.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
slidemeroot5r1.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
I would wager that people having trouble with Wifi have not updated to r1. And if WifiTether is causing the headache, I suggest you uninstall the app and reinstall.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
well this is my first rom installed. i'll try to look into things some more.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
got it going. had to enable the dhcp or whatever through diagnostics. we're good to go =]
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] h.nocturna:
Where do I find that?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
i'm running windows 7. try to connect to the wireless tether network. on the comp where it shows your network status, you'll probably get the yellow triangle in the toolbar. right click on the icon & select 'troubleshoot problems'. it will run windows network diagnostics and attempt to find & fix the problem. mine came up as "dhcp is not enabled on this wireless network" or something of the sort.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] h.nocturna:
Ahhhh... nvm, I can't even get it to show up on the wireless network...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jonulf:
Finally got this working on my phone, so far so good. Don't know if anything changed with GPS, but I know for certain that it works better/faster. Day before last my cousin came over with his iPhone 4 and his GPS was beating the pants off of mine. Now mine is going MUCH quicker (even in my basement apartment). As far as general speed goes, I'll wait for a week or so before commenting, because I still remember how fast this was out of the box, and the general slowing Android suffers over time.

Everything is working fine for me, I haven't run into anything. Installed most of my apps and still have 104MB, where's prior to rooting I was at like 40! Haven't bother with a2sd, I'm not one to need it.

Tethering seems to be working well. Via speedtest.net I was getting around 160 ping, .97Mbps down and .76Mbps up on the TMo 3G.

And has been reported, SD card wont show up on computer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Just make sure that you're running SlideMeRoot5r1, not the original SlideMeRoot5 rom that was posted...

And, for the record, my sdcard shows up just fine on my Mac running OS X 10.6. You just have to make sure that you've set the USB preference to "Disk Drive."
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jonulf:
Yeah, I was looking in Finder and it wasn't showing up, but then I noticed it on the desktop. Does this not seem weird? Oh, and via adb I can't find my phone?

[EDIT] Forgot to reinstall pda net on the phone, working now.

PS, thanks for all the hard work Eugene
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Oakley44:
Just got to say

....got the eng build but this rom had been nothing but great. No issues even after coming back to it after a brief trial of the speedy eclair rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Nice work. I tried other roms but prefer the new UI that is in the Slide. I mean what is the use having a new phone and making it look like all the other Android phones you have . This rom gives you the new look with a stable rooted rom. Even my apps are on the SD just fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
It is normal onmac for the slide to not come up in finder. As long as the desktop icon comes up you're fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] android007:
At this point with all the roms around, I've switched to a2sd. It's freakin sick space saver becuase i do prefer many apps. Anyway, I've tried some other ROMs and theyre still being worked out. So i figured, I'll switch back over to this ROM, i loved the way it performs and functions.

I decided to remove the sense from the phone and replace with just adw launcher. I've been liking how now it's technically fully integrated between the ADW Launcher style home and the icons/apps functions of the original Sense Stock. That's kinda how I wanted it to work.

One thing I wanted to know if there's a way to edit out the sync for the Weather and News? I want to just get rid of these completely and not deal with those. Also the same with the T-Mobile contact syncing. If anyone knows how to successfuly remove these three syncing applications please let me know!

Best ROM so far!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jonulf:
Yall are awesome.

One question though, I totally hate the contacts drawer, I love the regular old android one (IE the one on my G1). It is awesome. Is there a way that I can get rid of the sense one and just get the basic android contact UI? If there is, I'm going to need a fairly good explanation as to how to do it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] android007:
Using Rosie/Sense as default, is there a way to remap the UI for another button function other than Faves? I hate Faves n removed it so since its useless now just wondered how to remap?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RaffieKol:
I cant get Live Wallpapers To Work??? When I select the LW it just doesnt come up on the screen.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
Live Wallpapers doesn't work with a stock launcher. Also be careful, even though it doesn't switch, it causes the service to start running. Be sure to switch your wallpaper back to a basic one or else you're going to be draining a ton of battery without anything extra being shown. Live Wallpapers are nice and fancy and all, but they seriously do kill a battery something fierce.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RaffieKol:
Thanks Bro

Is there away to change the launcher???
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
You just need to install LauncherPro or ADW Launcher and use it. Then the live wallpapers will work fine.

Can anyone give me some clear instructions on how to put the Amazon music store back on? I have the files from the stock ROM, but I can't copy them to the /system/app/ folder because it's read only. I've searched a bit, but nothing has worked yet.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] android007:
Have a few questions. By far my favorite ROM and I'm sticking with it, modding it to my liking, but it's base is sick!

Was wondering if there is a way to set a boot animation on this ROM. I know Eugene said it's running a script and that's why it's black, is there a way to override this? I've tried placing the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ and no luck. I thought about system/media, but i dont think this ROM would read that. So I pulled the .gif file to see if there was one there and it's stock. So overall just wondering if there's way to set the boot animation.

Also wondered if it's possible to remap the "Faves" key on the default Sense home screen. Hate Faves and want nothing to do with it, but I left Sense because it's a waste of a button if I can't use it lol.

Thank you, if anyone has any ideas please share!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] android007:
Yes, boot into recovery, go to the partitions menu in clockwork and "mount /system". Once mounted, you should be good. As a double check, after mounting the system, type in "adb remount" and it should say "remount successful."

Basically you just need to mount /system as read/write. If you're using "adb shell" method:

adb shell

/system/bin/su (to gain superuser, doesn't matter if u do this step or not)

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

and youre good to go. Now try pushing/installing Amazon to the system/app folder.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] josenlared:
I installed the ROM yesterday. After that I downloaded my favorite apps from the market. Today I rebooted the phone for the first time after installing the ROM and found that all downloaded applications have disappeared. After going to Settings/Applications/Application Settings/Manage Applications I found that all downloaded applications are there and stored on the phones internal memory. I had ( and have ) checked Apps2SD. What is happening? Can somebody help? TY
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jonulf:
Anybody? Anybody at all? I love this ROM. It pretty much has everything I need and it seems to work the best for me. My only issues are that I can't stand some of the Sense and TMo branding (Contact drawer, faves, friend stream, and I just want them gone/back to regular android).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
Thanks. Unfortunately neither of those worked. :( Using clockwork, /system/ was mounted, but adb kept telling me the device was offline. Using adb shell everything seemed to be going well, but once I tried to move or copy the files, I was given a "cross-device link" error.

Bummer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bmfc187:
didnt really know where else to post this, as far as i know its specific to this ROM, correct me if im wrong...

htcMusic stopped showing the little play button icon ">" on the play button. like its just a blank button, then when you press "Play" it shows the pause icon "ll" and then if you pause it instead of showing the play icon it shows a blank button. happened all of a sudden. i am currently doing some theming, but i checked and the image for the icon is intact and i replaced it just to make sure and it still wont show up...i took a screenshot...anyone else experience this? i tried flashing the original ROM back but it still didnt show back up...

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Gootah:
Uuuhhh...

Am I the only one having MMS trouble...? It never sends right away and if it does the little waiting icon disappears, but theres still a red exclamation mark. I get a few errors btwn there too...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] krypto16:
Once you go into recovery try unplugging and then plugging the phone back in.

You can check to see if that worked by typing adb devices command. This should show your device in recovery. Then follow the instructions from the previous post

Has anyone got metamorph to work. I cheked this rom and busybox is installed but wen metamorph runs its checks the phone shuuts down

Is anyone elses phone constantly syncing I tried to acsess the sync thru settinggs and got tons of fc
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] krypto16:
Metamorph does not work on the slide from everything I have read.

As for the synching issue, are u sure u wiped and flashed slidemeroot5r1? Eugene fixed the sync issue in that release. I am using this ROM now and have no issues with sync and do not get fc when accessing it through settings

Thanks, I did finally get this to work. My wallet does not thank me. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] amack10:
I figured out my sync issue I had an older version of this rom smr5 not smr5r1. The ont problem I have is with flash player. On my stock rom if there was a flash video you could open it in a player by double clicking on it or longpressing and selecting view in player. It came in really handy wen i watch inside mma on sherdog cus wen u just watch the video on the page it lags a tiny bit cus of the flash ads on the page.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marty22877:
i dont know if this rom is going to be updated again, but i noticed my contact pictures werent being updated from facebook when someone changed their pic. i went back to slidemeroot2 and it's working fine
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] detox702:
I am actually here to get help with MMS too. I can't send/recieve picture messages. I've looked, and everything looks set up right, but for some reason, only the message part will send, and I have to email the pictures.

I was wondering if anyone else gets phone reboots if you connect your phone to usb? Its no biggie but its kinda annoying
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
Nope, didn't have any USB>reboots with this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I did experiance this same problem. Also if I tried to switch from usb to charge only when my phone was plugged in it would reboot. It was very annoying!!! I havent had it reboot like that at all since I flashed Slide MR1v4.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daewond3r:
As of last night, I am not able to download apps from the market. It appears to start, then nothing happens.

Anyone else experience this? It wasn't always like this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
You never flashed the ENG build, did you?

I bet you used wesgarner's SimpleRoot technique, correct?? The ENG build is a must and actually fixed my phone from doing the same thing. Got sick of hearing -DROID-....and read that wes was mistaken in thinking the ENG build was problematic for our phones...so I flashed the ESPRIMG.zip file and was good to go. :D

In my opinion, the most complete rom with all you need, and everything working, is Slide MR1v4. Yes, froyo is nice and all, but w/out camera preview and camcorder, non-working apps2sd, and no silence option on volume, it's far from a daily driver for me. When I have to choose between setting my ringer on high and being woken up, just for my alarm to be heard, I consider it raw, still. SlideMeRoot5 is nowhere near as complete as MR1v4. It's the one I keep goin' back to.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poacher2010:
I agree it seems the best so far. altho the froyo roms are great too for what we have to work with.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
I got the reboots when plugged to the pc via usb and I used eugenes root method. So I don't think it has anything to do with wes' method.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
i too am having issues with this rom and the market associated with it

oh btw, im installing sm5r1 now, to see if it fixes my market issues.. found it on aspin

EDIT::: after installing r1, market works perfect!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
Hmm...that's strange...never had THAT problem with SlideMeRoot5...my major problem was the rom in GENERAL! :)

:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
well now thats kinda vague, any actual problems with it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
Hey, yo! I'm just curious as to why everyone loves this rom, versus Slide M1v4? Maybe I'm missing something...but I see tons of people running this rom, even though it's about a month old. Any ideas? I love the Froyo roms except the dang apps2sd seems to be dead. Nobody really mentions that it's unable to write to the SD yet. He said the reason was /dev/block/dm-0 isn't able to be written to.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
well its pretty much a classic! i mean, tmobile wouldnt have used sense espresso if it wasnt a good base, and everything works perfect on it with exception of that a2sd thing, which is fixable, as other roms have it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
The boot up the screen will stay Black, Nothing to worry about!! It's Just running a very big Script is all!!

EXT4 doesn't work, You will get a Black / non-booting system..

How long will this take normally?

Please help
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
mine was about 1.5 minutes

if i were you, i'd backup everything on SD card, reformat it to fat32 ext2/3 and wipe all on phone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chrisinaz:
Question:

I missed the stock espresso, so I flashed this rom today. The only issue I'm having is that Facebook isn't syncing with my contacts, and it says I have 0 friends. The thing is, I'm able to go to the gallery to see all my friend's photo albums, just can't do anything with the contacts. Possibly an issue with the contacts apk?
