Yes. It just wouldn't flash the "ol' fashioned" way for me or a couple others in IRC. Very peculiar...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slinky1914:
I flashed the old fashion way just fine for me. Strange.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
hmmm.... No clue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
Same here

Flashed the rom the same way with no problems...no need to use Rom Manager here. Note: I did wipe the Dalvik cache and battery stats. Also fully wiped in stock recovery and in clockworkmod.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Vibrate seems to be broken...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Vibrate works for me. Making a call, when it connects,when it disconnects,and when I get texts or any kind of notification. Maybe your vibrator is broken.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
My old vibrator broke but on my slide it had always worked, I just had to press the volume down button until I got to the vibrate setting. On this ROM, however, it only got silent even though the vibrate icon was showing. I went into settings>sound and set vibrate to "always" and now its fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
lol. Not even gonna ask
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pagantek:
:P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
that is what the vibrate part is called. it was a joke in my old tech shop. we'd stay stuff like "hey, this lady's vibrator broke. she needs a new one."

mildly amusing joke among us cell techs.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
i was gonna say the same thing :eek:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I was going to re flash to see if that would fix my vibrator problems, but then I saw how buggy the camera preview still is. So i returned to MR1, and I'm keeping it until further progress is made on this or superfly. I don't think I can deal with an unreliable vibrator :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shaqbrooks:
Can anyone tell me why won't my phone menu come up , ever since i flashed this mod. This animation has been up. Any help?

its like a RED, Blue, Yellow, and Green "X".
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
You're stuck in a boot loop. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and enter the ADB REBOOT RECOVERY command. Flash back to a known-good nandroid backup and use ClockworkMod Recovery to flash the newbuild.zip
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] josenlared:
OK, this is a simple question: Why, after uddating the ROM to MYFROYO_RC_4, on the phone it still says that the Mod Version is Eugene373-Kanged-CM6-RC1? Is this OK? Everything went fine with Clockwork, no warnings, no anything and I presume that the package was installed correctly. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Mine says "unknown" under mod version.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
If you care, you can always put the entry into /system/build.prop.

just insert the line...

ro.modversion=WhateverYouWantToCallIt
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
O. It doesn't matter to me. I was just posting that to let him know what it should say after flashing. But thanks though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
ro.modversion=WhateverYouWantToCallIt

Is just a Name, I'm Always getting crap over this!!

This Don't effect the build in anyway, and it seems like you guys rather believe what the ro.mod says than the person that built it lmao... :rolleyes:

Honestly though, I', not Focusing on stuff that don't effect the build.

~Eugene
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
I agree. I could care less what it says there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
O eugene just wanted to state that I have gotten almost 2 days out of the battery!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pr0cl1v1ty:
Battery life is amazing!

OMG i got freaking 2 days of battery out of this dang rom!!!! HOLY CRAP I LOVE YOU!!!! Now if we can just get more stable :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Faud:
Is there anyway to mount the SD card on this rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Battery is a bit better but cant go 2 days when i use psx and watch videos all the time :P but it is nice! Excellent improvment btw the only thing keeping me away was the videos showing up as grey, but now its fixed soo yay. :)

Plug the phone into the computer - go to notifications - click on usb connected - click on turn on usb stoarge. There you go! :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Faud:
Sorry, I should have explained more.

If I plug the phone to the computer I get nothing, no notifications. The phone recognizes that a SD card is there but all of the information just says unavailable.

I can adb push/pull from the cmd line if I want to but I cant write the the SD card from the ROM itself..if I enter rom manger for instance I get a warning that I need to mount the SD card or put one in.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] reukiodo:
dalvik-cache

I noticed that there is a dalvik-cache on the /cache partition as well as a dalvik-cache on the /data partition.

Is there a way to move all the dalvik-cache to the /cache partition to have more room for apps on the /data partition?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Try re-partitioning FAT32 and see what happens
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Faud:
It is FAT32 lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
if you have an ext partition along with Fat32 that is known to happen! just back everything up on your computer and reformat it!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Back up data and reformat again to make sure you have a fresh clean partition.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] misterfamilyguy:
Got it!

From stock to booting into this rom about 8 hours of work. Rooting took all pf 15 minutes, I made sure to format my sd card with the phone before I started, its a class 2 8gb I got years ago. I ran the loop command with usb cable unplugged, slightly pushed in the usb cable then pushed it into the phone all the way and immediately after clicked recovery on the phone so hboot usb never displayed, then let the loop run for 2 seconds and unplugged usb before my computer popped up that it was plugged in, cancelled the loop, at this point i'd have the black screen w/ the red triangle, plug usb back in and computer whick would then recognize the phone. I'd go ahead and get set up to do the update.zip thing. For me it worked quickly if i'd push ota.zip command then try the push update.zip but if I missed the timing push ota.zip again before next attempt of pushing update.zip, I would push it after I would start to see the green progress bar. Doing the engineering rom was a duh moment not realizing you should be in the actual os since that super user permission has to popup like a stagtus update. After that and flashing the radio I was trying to flas a different froyo rom which I attempted for about 6 hours unsuccessfully but then loaded this one on my sd, did a nandroid restore, wiped, flashed radio, flashed this and it booted. Great rom and for everyday use is awesome for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Linnel:
Flashed, got it working, and I must say, all the Froyo ROMS have felt the same to me, but this one looks the nicest.

So far, only two things have been bothering me (other than the listed bugs like camera not working very well), and idk if they're even in any way related to the ROM, I've just now started noticing is all...

First, is there any way to set up my personal information, like have a picture set for me for my half of the conversation? I know there was a contact card for myself before, but I think that was an HTC thing...

Second, another thing I don't really know if its the fault of the rom or my hours of flashing, but my sim card lists no number? Is that the ROM or something I did? Or is that one T-Mobile's fault?

...I can't give up this rom and go back to stock, its just too awesome <3

Right, so it seems both issues are related to my second point, which I guess is a carrier fault, sorta... anyways yeah... very nice ROM~
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
I don't quite understand what you're saying, but if your SIM is really old and starts breaking stuff you can get it replaced at any T-Mo store for free.

Also you can use Handcent SMS to show your contact picture, not a perfect solution but at least it works.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
as far as the unknown number, that happens on ALL froyo roms, because i had to stick to a stock espresso rom to be able to use tikl.. its a common thing, not just your sim being broke
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Linnel:
As far as I can tell, nearly all t- mobile sims don't seem to have the number saved locally, as it is largely unnecessary. Except that froyo really wants to see that for some reason.

At least that's what I managed to piece together, I could be completely off. I'm gonna call tmo tomorrow, just... Gotta not mention root...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
they'll just tell you to send it back in, so you wont make any progress... best thing is to wait till the devs can fix it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Linnel:
If its not saved on the sim, they'll only need the sim back, no phone.

Though, if its some issue with the froyo not reading, I mean really they're more or less all the same rom, and you have tlkl working on non froyo roms... I guess this is a legitimate problem with the build...

... Oh well, I guess I can just wait this one out
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
trust me ive tested the theory over and over.. its the rom lol.. a way to check is go into about phone and look at status.. phone number should say your number, but on froyo roms it says unknown. yeah..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
mine says my number.

and I appear as a contact in my own list.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Linnel:
I have a nand backup of stock at home, I can find this out pretty quick later tonight.

Sent from the XDA app running on a rooted side with froyo
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
I guess, however I did compile the phone and contacts apps from scratch in order to add the addToBlacklist feature. And my sim card is at least four years old.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Linnel:
So running the stock firmware, my phone does see its own phone number, however running this Froyo rom, it doesn't.

So, the SIM card should be unchanged throughout this entire process, is it something in the old firmware that allows it to bypass and find out the number through another mean, or is the Froyo rom improperly reading my SIM?

The sim card was purchased less than 2 months ago, with a new contract...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Mine says my number. I wiped and installed this ROM, nothing else, but some statusbar changes in cyanogenmod settings required a reboot to take effect, so I don't know if it showed my number before a reboot. Reboot your phone, and check.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pr0cl1v1ty:
boot loops

I get boot loops when I try to update to the newest version. I have the newest radio out also. Any ideas? Thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
You MUST flash this rom from the ROM Manager application. Anyone who says differently is not to be trusted. Put the newbuild.zip on your sdcard, fire up the ROM Manager app, and install it from there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
I wouldn't go that far hebrew many of us including myself was able to get it working by flashing it threw recovery.. but yes if your phone is boot looping rom manager install will solve it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Not a single person on IRC was able to get the rom to manually flash through recovery. I don't trust anything I read on XDA.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Did you wipe first? Eugene has stated numerous times his roms are not updated, when he releases a new version of a rom you must wipe first.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Dude. Read the thread. I tried everything. So did other people in IRC. You are supposed to use ROM Manager to flash the rom -- Eugene said so himself.

In any case, you do not need to wipe from RC4 to newbuild -- once I flashed from ROM Manager all was well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You dont trust anything you read on xda yet you have posted on here more than 300 times. That doesn't make much sense. I flashed this rom without a problem and I didnt use rom manager so it is possable. Allthough if it does loop then you should try using rom manager. Eugene uses rom manager to flash his roms but that doesnt mean that everyone must.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
XDA has links to useful files. The anecdotal nonsense from folks like you is rarely of any value. Head over to #mytouchslide on chat.freenode.net for people doing actual troubleshooting and giving valuable insight. Just the way it is.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
Would u like to place a wager? Say a 30 dollar donation to xda.for the loser that I can manully flash this rom? Via recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
No. You're a random person on the internet. Why in blue blazes would I place a wager on something I cannot verify? And to be perfectly honest, I don't really even care if you can do this or not.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
I bet 10 bucks that this rom can be flashed via recovery. **** I've done it two times now. Go back and read a few pages back and you will notice that a few of us have been able to flash this via recovery without using rom manager.

O wait this is the interwebs. I can't be trusted..... ROFL
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Guys, show some respect for him! When you're as l33t as him, you're above normal members of the community.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Wow. What a clever fellow you are. This has nothing to do with "7334" -- it has to do with most XDA members being unreliable, untrustworthy and -- simply put -- rather dumb.

The people with actual knowledge are on IRC.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
I'l tape it with WEBCAM and upload to YOUTUBE while someone verifys on TeamViewer lets change it to a 60$ wager to me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Because you can't simply rename a zip file when flashing it. Or edit a tape before uploading. Honestly, I really don't care what efforts you would like to go to -- it doesn't matter. Eugene says flash with ROM Manager and that was the *only* way people on IRC got this thing to work. 'nuf said.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dcowboys2184:
so in order to flash from rom manager u would need the english build installed?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
I don't think so -- ROM Manager is just an app you can buy/download from the Android Market.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
There are uninformed people in any community, and a veteran android dev can log onto irc just as easily as someone who has no idea what they're doing. You should take everything with a grain of salt, and if you don't wait for various people to give feedback before flashing something, it's your fault, not the community's for being "dumb".

You can flash from ROM manager without the ENG build I believe, but just a heads up the ENG is short for Engineering, not English.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It takes a lot more know-how to get into an IRC channel than it does to visit a URL and sign up. Case in point: all the dummies posting links to theunlockr.com.

And, again, the inability to flash the newbuild.zip manually has been documented by several people. It's an issue -- one that is remedied by using ROM Manager.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dcowboys2184:
ok so i did that and the red question mark shows up !!! i said english #fail i meant Eng but swype stock on t-mobile sucks lol i hate asking how cause i usually get stuff right on my own.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I'd recommend flashing the Eng build.

Check if update.zip is on the root of your sd card.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] reukiodo:
Eugene, have you considered making the dalvik-cache on the data partition symlinked to the cache partition?

If you have already thought about this, why have you decided against it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
ok so how about this.. you... TEAMVIEWER ME THE FILE I'l PUT ON BLACK SD and PROVE You wrong while recording a video...

If your not willing to put your money where your mouth is.. shut it because we are not a community that spews false FACTS. such as your, "NO ONE CAN RECOVERY INSTALL THIS ROM"
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] matt tallant:
Wow! I think i just slipped back into the third grade. A wise man once said "im sure there are people out there that can make love while standing on a hammock. But that doesnt mean its the only way to do it." Eugene is a wise man... he said he does it the easy way. But he never said it was impossible to do it another way. Since logic is the language of sane intelligent people and hebrewtoyous logic is flawed i guess he must have been talking about himself. Could someone help my stupid little brain figure out this irc stuff... its so damn hard! C'mon man gimme a break, rotflmao!

SySfS

Update: so I just read an entire manual to figure out the ever so mysterious world of IRC, (I used a time machine so it only seems like it was just a minute ago that I posted this) I do all this work and when I get there Hebrewtoyou isn't even on to witness my time traveling greatness! Man this sucks! I thought for sure he was gonna give of a cookie or something!

Grow up, kid. You're not going to win a battle of wits without a standing army.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
much less a standing army of jewfaces :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
You obviously are younger then myself no one of moderate inteliect would dare to first flame the forum they have nothing better to do but live on e.g. you and no one is stupided enough to call a man who's accomplished more in his years of life and seems to have a better concept of respect and life kid. Grow up I know you think 15 or 18 is old it isn't life has many new things out there learn humility we attempted to correct your incorrect claim and you chose to act like the child you are even when someone like myself degrades himself to your level you still use childish logic wrapped in semi moderate intellect believe it or don't you can flash this rom in recovery 5 people reported boot loops including you other didn't have a problem consider the fact that not all slides are exactly the same because they arnt unless they come right out of a box and no one here just pulled their slide outta a box any number of things could have caused your boot loop for god sakes grow up and mature. I believe you will find much more friendly support if you stop acting like an ass
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
virus, this is a froyo thread.. not a flame thread. you and hebrew need to cut it out and focus on whats important here
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
LOL -- keep on truckin'.

What he said.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
Agreed back to the froyo but my final word is some can flash via recovery as well as rom manager to hebrew don't joust with higher intellects you will lose anyways sounds like we are getting a offical slide cyanogen rom soon seems wes and cyan got almost everything but camera and screen working
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Oakley44:
Thread would've been locked by now the way you guys have been e - thuggin each other...lucky it's a small forum.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
LOL!

And I quote:

Higher intellects, indeed. Stay classy, San Diego. Stay Classy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
both of you... STOP THE ARGUMENTS! given, they are very highly intellectual as opposed to many of the others ive seen in here, they're still arguments that should be taken off the threads and brought into PM's or onto a different one on one chat.. please stop the bickering, because its degrading the quality of the forum
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
As you wish, good sir. As you wish.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
Been avoiding this thread for a while and now I see a bunch of BS in here, let me say this, I HAVE NEVER FLASHED ANY ROM FROM ROM MANAGER BECAUSE THE OLD WAY WORKS FINE FOR ME, virus do not EVER say that something is impossible on this forum because odds are either someone will prove you wrong or I will brick my phone trying. Different people like different things and I firmly believe that if it ain't broke then leave it alone, no reason for me to even have ROM Manager installed as I have yet to use it.

/rant

On a side note everyone please stop fighting, if there is an issue all you have to do is post it and be done, if it has already been posted then you can confirm but otherwise don't *****, either post a fix or leave it

EDIT: sorry virus only read last two pages and it looked like you posted that it was impossible, when in reality hebrew posted it can't be done(or rather that he can't) it can and has been done

/argument
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:

Is there any chance we can get an exact list of changes between your version and the CM 8/10 Nightly? I wouldn't mind keeping up your changes with as many nightlies as I can... :-)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NiN39Z:
So theres nothing broken now in this froyo build? Camera light works and the fn key works on the keyboard?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
nice switching from nightly to myfroyo5
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] em2drvr03:
does this have the regular apps2fat32 or ext?b/c i was having problems with cm settings and using external only for installed apps....the martket wouldnt install the apps till i put it on automatic
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
All froyo roms are FAT32-based A2SD.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NiN39Z:
Looks like this is 100 Percent working! Thanks eugene and the rest of the devs that worked on this! Now one more question... Will there be a flash fix for the browser or this is as good as it will get?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] em2drvr03:
i would love it if someone would use apps2ext instead...i cant stand this apps2fat32
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gregb7677:
Someone will eventually, Just have to give them time is all.

Otherwise looking good!
