Same here. Thought i might have had a bad download but checked here first
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] meirg:
Titanium Backup, baby. FTW
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] droopypillow:
I also didn't even realize that I had the phone force closing issue till I saw all the problems and went to check mine out..and I have it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zerolgk5:
Yup, same here. I'm gonna use this as an excuse to check out cr's latest effort, though, and try back tomorrow night.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dgrwe2512:
Same here, just loaded last back up, and everything is fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] petraman:
@zero

Ehh, I wouldn't. With all due respect to CR, and he has put a ton of work into development for the slide community, more than he's had to IMO, the CR_mod rom is so bloated (due solely to the fact that t-mobile put so much bloat into the stock rom) that I couldn't load half my applications on without running out of room (with titanium) (yes I moved all the apps I could to sd as well). It's nice to play around with wifi calling and what a stock build of 2.2 would look like, but in the end I couldn't take more than half an hour of it. You'll remember all the reasons you switched from stock when you flash it, lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chairhome:
Question: I've tried a few of the nightlies and I keep getting stuck in boot loops. Am I doing something wrong? I can wait for the stable release I guess....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eclipsed450:
you need the latest google apps (from this month - link is in the slide bible sticky)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chairhome:
Thanks. I thought I had the latest one (from Dec.), didn't know there was a new one. Thanks again!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
I thought I was the only one with the foreclosing phone.. but then again, I had tried some sip and downloaded some sip apps, so I thought they had messed up my phone.apk.

I just nand restore to previous and all was good.

Im sure next Nightly will be awesome
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Well, seeing some had it in #14 and in the latest (#15 as of this post), I am wondering if it is a nightly problem or not. Have any of you wiped and tried installing the latest and gapps again freshly? Not everyone is having the FC issue, me being one of them not having the FC issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
im also having the phone force close issue in build 15 when making or receiving calls. didn't have it in build 14 so im just gonna revert back to that
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chairhome:
Just got CM7 #14 working on mine. Nice! I love the screen on/off animation. I do miss the battery percentage though. I saw a similar battery indicator for the Galaxy S (on my wife's) on the Nero ROM, I believe. I was able to flash a zip on hers that gave her numbers... is it dumb to think that it might work for me?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
I was thinking the same thing earlier today... I'm going to wipe and try flashing 15 again. If it still doesn't work I'll just restore my nandroid backup from #14, and titanium restore my data to it.

EDIT: Did not work, phone still force closes on build 15, even with a data wipe. I'm flashing #14 now, to see if it does it there, although it didn't yesterday, so it shouldn't today.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] aaldiar:
I did a fresh wipe and no force closes on the phone with my slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eclipsed450:
ditto for me - except sometimes i'll open FB (or twitter) and i'll be logged, other times, i'll have to login. no rhyme or reason why or when it'll do it. running #14 after revert from phone FC on #14. will prob wipe and clean install when next solid nightly comes out..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Did a wipe and fresh flash of #15, Phone STILL forced closed, so I flashed #14, no issues. Must be a #15 issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Same

I spent about an hour or so last night wiping, restoring and reinstalling. It is a #15 build problem for sure and wiping doesn't help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] purple1:
have the phone open....then turn it on and boom original 2.2 locksceen :/ little bug but still hope it gets fixed ....nightly#14
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] claib:
I also had this problem, I had performed a fresh wipe and installed the newest gapps. Reverted back to 14.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Build #16 is out. I will be doing a flash over of Build #15. I'll report and tell you whether or not the phone bug is gone. The file size went down to 69.9 mb also. Maybe did some optimizing or removed the thing that was causing phone problems.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] emacomputer:
Build #16 live
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zerolgk5:
Yeah, that about sums it up. I'm glad I checked it out, though, because that hotspot app works with my Nook Color. I read somewhere that they're are going to incorporate the wifi calling app, but does anyone know if they'll include that hotspot app?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
CM 7 has native wi-fi hotspot in the wireless setting. Just make a custom shortcut to it.

Also Build#16 didn't fix the call bug. I'm going back to build 14.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
has anyone flashed the most recent nightly? Wes wants to know if it's good enough for an alpha release...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
Thanks for checking, gave my fiance my slide, so can't check myself :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
Bummer, thanks for checking though. Looks like he's got Eugene looking into it :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elsocplayer:
tried the build dated 7/27/2010 and touch is still not working....looks nice though, will keep waiting....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
Should have come here first before I flashed todays!

Anyone try 7/28? I'm waiting on a few texts and so am reluctant to try it now. If no one does end up trying, I'll report back later.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
Some people should read ur threads before Tweeting blindly @bhilgeman! :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slobatch:
No touch screen in 7/28. Will test 7/29 when it comes around.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slobatch:
7/29 is also a no-go. Go figure.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
You can follow Slide development by looking at the GitHub commits for the htc_espresso device: http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_espresso/commits/froyo/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slobatch:
That's a no on 7/30.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marvinp:
Yeah, I know. It seems like development is slow on the Slide. If it weren't for Eugene we wouldn't have had a good/stable Froyo for the Slide. Sadly Eugene just got a Vibrant so I don't know if we'll see any Slide development coming from him anymore :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
Guys, Eugene kept his slide and is planning on continuing development for it.

Don't forget Cyanogen is working on this too, he put out a tweet about it this morning. Said that the Slide was the most difficult phone to hack.

Good news is, people are working on it. I can't afford a new phone right now so I have to stick with this!

I wish my dev skills were a little more advanced so I could assist. :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] reukiodo:
Wes just checked in Eugene's touchscreen fix. Hopefully that means tomorrow's autobuild will have a working touchscreen.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Everyone is ditching the slide so dev for its gonna be slow now. Thinking about selling my slide. The vibrant is a nice device and is so easy to root its rediculous.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slinky1914:
I agree I guess I will be looking foward to the G1blaze aka Vanguard and see if any devs pick that up. Deving will definitely be getting slow.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
sad and the slide is actually a pretty good phone to o well i guess ill get the vibrant or the g1 blaze if it comes threw anybody wanna buy a slide:eek:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lviv73:
Are they still making cm for slide?All other phones already got it.We probably gona get ota before cm,htc said they rolling out froyos next week.I read somewhere that divers for slide 2.2 is the reason thst its taking so long,my question is why they need drivers if we already have functioning froyo with drivers, are they making better drivers or what?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
You might want to read the thread a bit more, Wes has been working diligently today to get a working rom out, you can follow his progress on the link above. Bear in mind the devs do this work for free and for the benefit of the community, so we have to be patient and let them do their thing. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
If u guys appreciate their work, please visit their donate links! A little bit from a lot of people goes a long way!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] joshuasvt:
I came across the same issue. Went back to 14 today. I just downloaded and installed 16 and the phone app still forcecloses. Fixing to go back to 14 again. ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Successfully flashed Build #14 over Build #16 without wiping. Just an FYI.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zerolgk5:
Yes it does. Thanks, mang~
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cidica:
Sadly tonights build like lastnights will not allow me to make phone calls. Auto crashes the phone app. Rollback time. Other then that not having any issues
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Man that sucks. A high percentage of people having phone FCs since #15. I am one of the lucky ones. I am running with no problems on #16, haven't had to wipe (that sounds gross) since #7, I think...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gregb7677:
Also had the phone FC issue on #15
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chairhome:
Anyone lose Voice Search and Voice dictation on the nightlies? Am I missing a library or something? I can see the mic button, it just doesn't do anything when I click.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lips2286:
Build 16 no issues

Edit:

Woke up to phone force closing. No problem last night though. Odd. Flash back to 14 no problems. Latest radio and gapps are flashed. Hopefully 17 fixes it!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
phone works, does it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Just noticed it (no voice search, etc) today as well. Running nightly #14 w/Miguel's kernel, Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 03a and gapps-gb-20110115-big-signed.zip. Anyone else with the same/different setup unable to use voice to text? Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] silverspoon80:
Same issue here. Voice search tries to load and halts. Running CM 7.0.0-RC0-KANG-signed with gapps-mdpi-20101228-gb-signed. I also got a little lag issue - takes a second to respond on returning to home from pretty much any app; be it market or browser.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SefEXE:
I don't think I started with it on RC0 then as I flashed the first nightly I had it. Lost it around 4 or 6, haven't seen it since, haha.

Add me to the list of people losing the ability to call with #15 and #16. Reflashed #14 and got it back, but that's a bummer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
GPS stopped working for me anyone else?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
I am indoors right now so can't get a lock, but the gps icon is coming on so I assume it is working. Dumb question for those with FCs on the phone, but you've got the latest radio right?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
I have the latest radio but for some reasoon after I flashed 13 with a wipe my gps icon on the notification bar stopped showing up
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
I can only suggest to reflash the radio. At the time, I had the latest radio and also GPS was not working. Reflashing the radio worked.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
Will give it a try thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chairhome:
Cool, just checking to see if it was just me. I don't use it that often, so I can wait till its fixed, I'll leave #14 on for a while. And I do notice that little lag sometimes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
Flashed new radio gps still broken guess I'll flash stock esprig image re root	and soff
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marty22877:
#16 build's phone is fc'n on me too
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
Same here I am back to 14 until the issue is resolve. I am quite sure they are probably trying to figure out the problem.

Thanks for the good work Cyanogen
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] aaldiar:
Over in the general section I posted an idea that might help some people still having GPS issues with CM7.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Digitaldreamer7:
I get the phone FC on build #15 as well I went back to 14 and haven't tried 16, just reporting in.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Go to

Settings > Security and Location >

Click

Use GPS satellites

UNCHECK..MAKE SURE ITS NOT CHECKED "Use wireless networks"

see if that works.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bodybombs:
im just going to go out on a limb and say that we should probably stay on 14 for the time being.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xaodxkevin:
build 17 is out
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Etype R:
Flashed build 17, phone app still crashing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SefEXE:
Thanks for the heads up. I miss flashing nightlies D:... 14 going strong, haha.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xaodxkevin:
>:| Just flashed 17 for no reason then...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Etype R:
Flashing nightlys completes my day, I feel empty if I don't have a fresh nightly to flash :)

Of course I opted not to make a backup file before flashing build 15, so I have been reverting back to build 13. That was the first nightly that I opted not to do a backup on, since they were all running so smooth. Nothing was really lost, other then a few calls from the call log. And I don't see a need to flash 14, then back another backup file. I'll just keep flashing the new nightlys till the phone app is fixed :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] joshuasvt:
Thanks E! I am still rockin 14. Does Cyanogen know of this issue?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Reading the CyanogenMod Forum Thread of CM 7 nightlies, I came across a possible solution.

Replace the phone.apk in the latest build with the one from build #14.

I cannot guarantee that it will work but worth a shot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
status of phone app?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] beartard:
I wonder if these issues only affect certain serial numbers of Slides. I've had absolutely no problems with GPS or phone.apk on any Cyanogen ROM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
my gps has been fine since I got the phone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Still borked in 17. Back to 14 for me...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
thanks. Ive just stuck with 14 since it came out...smart move apparently. Hopefully they fix the phone.apk...even though im sure we all use our phones for other things more often than calling haha
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
i love nightlys so I hope they do soon, but i know it takes work to do this so whenever is ready. Fine by me

I'll stay on 14 until is ready. Thanks cyanogen
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fitsnugly:
Phone issue fix was merged... next build will have it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
Confirmed Switching out the Phone.apk from 14 and putting it in place of 17 those fix FC will post a signed fixed cm 17 upon request XD
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
isnt really needed though, not hard to do yourself...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
im speaking for those who dont know how there way around adb shell or root explorer
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elry567:
Ya a posted fix would help alot plzz
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] midnclb:
I'd like a signed build please, as for my self I haven't master the way of the adb just yet lol . thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
Here you go please post feedback haven't tested yet, i made it just a .zip that flashes the Phone.apk

link: http://www.multiupload.com/4LUP6QJ3S1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Or you guys can

1) Get the Android SDK

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2) Place it anywhere on your PC/MAC

3) Pc = click start, run, (type cmd ) hit enter.

Mac = on spotlight look for "Termintal" click it to open

4) Go to the place where you downloaded the folder, go inside of it

5) on cmd/terminal window type "cd " (with no quotes and the space).

6) Drag the folder "Tools" to the cmd/terminal window

7) it should now say cd somethingsomething/something/something/tools

8) on cmd type "adb install -r NAME-OF-APK-HERE.apk"

on Terminal type ./adb install -r NAME-OF-APK-HERE.apk

9) done. (Alternatively, you can also do adb push)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Chisle31:
My fix dosent involve 9 steps lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] twilightvanquisher:
do I just flash this over build 17?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] meirg:
Looks like build 18 is out now too, anyone try it know what's new?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] claib:
Tested and works, thanks for zip.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bodybombs:
downloading now. ill check back when its flashed
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bodybombs:
everything works great in build 18.

-wifi calling works as expected

-wifi connects normal and stable

-gps works normal and stable

-bluetooth works normal and stable

-mobile network calling works without a hitch

-no force closes, that ive come across

-google sync on startup

-facebook sync on startup

this is just my phone though. not sure if everybody else will get the same results
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SefEXE:
Were you having any problems with those things before? I was looking back, but it seems like you've been one of the lucky ones, lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
I'm pretty sure you have to adb push to /system/app, adb install goes to data and would not work for system apps

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
By wifi calling do you mean VoIP or actual tmobile wifi calling?

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bodybombs:
i didnt have any problems with those things before, and i didnt flash past 14 until i knew things were working. tonight i figured id test to make sure there werent any force closes on the phone.apk

i connected to my wifi network and went to settings>call settings>internet call settings>use internet calling for all calls when wifi network is available

i dont have any voip settings enable, nor do i have any accounts stored
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] midnclb:
flashed build 18 and i do not have the phone apk fc that i had when i flashed build 15. Other than that i don't really notice anything new.

edit: voice dialer and voice search work fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SefEXE:
As a sufferer of the dreaded 15/16/17-phone app-force-close...

*inhale*

18 works. :p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eclipsed450:
Have you tried this in an area where you don't have ANY cellular signal?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
An easier test would be to simply turn off the networks and just run wifi.

Edit: Flashed 18 and all is good, except still losing the FB sync setting. This is my last nightly as I am picking up my G2 today. Unless there's a recommendation on any other 4g T-Mobile phone with a hardware keyboard...?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eclipsed450:
only way i know to do that is to turn on airplane mode, then turn on wifi - but when i try to make a call that way it says turn off airplane mode...

have fun with the g2 :p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
You can find an option in settings to turn off mobile networks, can't remember where right now nut it shouldn't be hard to find.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lips2286:
18 good. No fc on phone. thanks is due as usual devs!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] katbastard:
any one know how to make my picture show in the "me" part of a text message? never have worked for me in a cm rom.. still not working on cm7 i could just be a tard and not know how to do it :)

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eclipsed450:
you have to

1) go to: settings > call settings > additional settings

2) make sure the number listed in 'my phone number' is correct (if not, correct it)

3) create a contact with that number and assign a picture to it - if needed, link to facebook/twitter
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Lol I knew someone would say that :P

I was just posting thas for both purposes.. teach adb install and push for any apk

Thnx for looking out tho :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
WiFi calling will be in tonight's build. Seems to work well for me, but of course we had to add the same kind of hacks as Vision.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
Anyone notice that.. 15/16/17 causes CONSTANT FC on phone.. like it will not make a call? just curious if its only me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
Also, if you have any sort of crashes, INSTALL THE NEW RADIO :)

I am gonna add an assert for it if people have issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
It's already fixed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Oh hell yeah! Great work getting this in so quickly.
