hmm, when i use dopio oc825 v3.5 with this rom i cannot use wifi anymore. On the plus side, live wallpaper is running smoothly with oc kernel. I really love live wallpaper but i need wifi. Reverting back to stock kernel :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
I'm using the 806 3.1 Kernel still and wifi and tethering still work.

Makes me glad I was too lazy to upgrade
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
Try 806 3.5 kernel that works too. Anything above that doesn't work too good.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChrisSpera:
WiFi is not something I use on a regular basis, so its not an issue for me... So far, my experience with the 3.5 kernel has been positive...

Battery Issues...

With this ROM I have been running it for almost a week... and I have not installed any OC's or extras... I have 3 widgets running but I am having severe battery drain (ie. It only last about 5-6hrs from full charge to completely dead without heavy use...just checking a couple texts and websites through out the day) This is the first ROM I installed after the root and had a clean SD card and wiped the phone before install. Please help as I came from using a Mytouch 3G for over a year and never had any battery issues with ROM's...I actually really like the Sense UI so I would like to stick to Sense 2.1 till 2.2 is relased.

Any suggestions on a fix?

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] voxluna:
Lots of things can drain your battery, one being a low-signal area, which makes the radio constantly struggle to establish and keep the link.	Then you've got 3G vs 2G, WiFi or GPS being on, etc...

The internal tool may help identify what's hogging power. Go to Settings }} About }} Battery Use. Display 'should' be listed first.

There are also a number of "battery saver" apps out there. In the past I used Power Manager Pro with some success, but my current tool is JuiceDefender. It allows so many adjustments it might be intimidating, but I've gotten 22 hours out of one battery using it.

Speaking of which, make sure you're using a genuine HTC battery, not an "OEM replacement" off fleaBay. They can be useful as a backup, but rarely if ever stack up as far as capacity.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pinman082:
Thank you for the reply... I live in Tampa FL...I have great signal...so I know its not that. I do use only 3G. This phone is only a week old and only using the OEM battery. I will try the application you suggested. But I haven't really noticed anyone in this thread talking about battery drain... so was wondering if something. Else needed to be done.

just a weird question... when i looked into the rom (unzipped and all) I didn't see the bonsai notification ringtone inside the folder, but when I actually flashed the rom, the notification ringtone appears on the list o_o. Is there a way too pull that out and store it? I kinda wanted that ringtone except I'm running on MatteSlide right now so I don't have it =\

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dator97:
how do you unroot this version this is the one i had when i unrooted i got 1.26.351.1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
So what do you want to do; flash CM6 or unroot. Because CM6 has nothing to do with this update; it's completely separate. The only thing you would need from it is the radio version (7.09.35.10), which ChiefzReloaded posted as a flashable update.zip of it's own.

If you want to unroot with this version Chiefz also posted the stock version which will unroot the phone.

Ok, you need to flash this first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=703412. It'll bring you to 1.27.x. Then this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746577. It's the OTA package T-Mobile sent out. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING ON THESE POSTS CAREFULLY! After doing this, you will be unrooted meaning you will no longer have root priveleges meaning you will not be able to flash any ROMs. If you want to flash a ROM, you will have to root the phone again. I don't mean to sound like I'm belittling you or insulting your intelligence, but you haven't given me much reason to believe you know what you're talking about let alone doing. If I'm in error, I apologize.

If you are new to Android or just new to the myTouch Slide and you want to get into hacking your phone, I suggest you search and read, search and read, and search and read some more.

I know, right? :rolleyes:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
So, from what i understand, the commands for terminal emulator are for setting up apps2sd. But i cant figure out how to create the partition. Someone help plz
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
You could try ROM Manager. It has an option to partition the sdcard, but I don't know if you need the paid version. You can also use Gparted in Ubuntu, if you have Ubuntu installed or a live cd. You'll want to make it ext2 or ext3 (I'm using ext3). Or, if you have a rooted G1 or mt3g with RA recovery, you can partition it that way.

duh! why didnt i think of that lol. thx ;) i'll try rom manager first though
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
Ok so I got the sd card partitioned and ran a2sd install and a2sd cachesd commands in terminal and they did their thing but I can't figure out how to place the apps on the sd card since they still seem to be sitting on the internal memory.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Anyone have really low storage space on their phone? I have about 31 MB free and about 36 if I use cachemate. The only things in the /system are whatever came on the ROM already.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Gonna try and kill two birds with one stone: I've noticed that even though I have a2sd and cachesd enabled I still see a little cache getting built up. For instance, on a fresh install, before installing any apps, I have 138MB of internal storage. After installing my apps and running it for some time I have about 98MB left so far. I use Cachemate to clear cache, but I've noticed it misses a few apps, such as the Engadget app. So you still need to go in and manually clear your cache. That works for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Sorry if noob question but whats the directory for cache you delete on your own?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
I just into settings>applications>manage applications and then I look for apps that look a little big. When you click on an app there'll be an option to clear cache. Click that and you're done. Now repeat the process for the other apps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Cache will be saved on internal memory even for apps that install onto sd-ext when a2sd is enabled?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
To be honest, I don't know. I went into Terminal Emulator to chka2sd and it's showing Dalvik Cache going to sd. I don't know if there's another type of cache being used or what. :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dino1394:
Anybody know how to get the market update on this rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Dalvik cache is cache needed to make the app run while plain cache is unnecessary and isn't needed for the app to run properly. Also cache is saved on the cache partition of the system so yes even with a2ext cache is still on internal but make sure you used the command a2sd cachesd to move dalvik to ext

Frustrating Problem

Having this reallly frustrating problem- the stock Messaging app does not read contact names. It only displays the numbers of the people i'm talking to.

I downloaded chomp sms from the market, that app does display names on current conversations, but it won't pick up my list of contacts. So if i want to send someone a text, i have to manually type in their number

I'm going crazy here!! Help please!

Edit: upon further review, when I receive calls I don't see contact names either. My 'People' app shows all my contacts, so they are sync'ed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Andr3w151:
i would like that lastest gapps but i flashed the lastest and it keeps force closing the gapps any ideas on how to get the lastest gapps to work on here or even if it possible?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Well latest gapps are 2.2 and this Rom is 2.1 plus some of the latest were 2.2 only updates so that could explain the force closes best thing to do is leave the gapps this Rom has and update them in the market if there is an update otherwise the update isn't compatible with this version and you can't use it

If you want sense and latest gapps I would suggest 3rd sense it has everything working basically soo its definitely worth looking at and flashing
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] h.nocturna:
Go to your People app, then hit menu > view; Are almost all your contacts in your SIM? If they're on your SIM, that might be causing the problem you're having. You'll need to import them via People > menu > import. Good luck!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Anyone know what the most stable OC kernel to use on this ROM is? I tried the latest dumfuq kernel and it seemed to actually make the phone a bit slower. Any ideas? Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
V4, you have to setup setcpu.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
I noticed the same thing. The phone was slower until it had setcpu boost the speed to the highest possible setting. To be honest, this is a great rom and all, cm with beautiful widgets is really nice

ok...so I unmounted my sd card to put into another phone, but when I switched back to this rom it registers in manage apps, but will not show on my home or app drawer. Also my market link doesn't work either and I can't install a android app from 4shared.com or anyhing. Can some1 plz help me. I've looked through 10 pages of this thread to see if anyone else has had this issue and couldn't find anything.

a2sd install through terminal emulator doesn't work nor does any other command that is shown on this thread. PLZ PLZ PLZ I love this rom and don't want to reflash this rom and do all the setup again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
I think youre just going to have to wipe and reflash. As for the a2sd, i also couldnt get it to work either and decided just to go with cyanogenmod since its better and less of a headache.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
type a2sd cachesd into terminal, it worked for me, switched to apps2sd since I ran out of /data room.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Jlluna87:
Tried that, I ended up just reflashing the Rom again, but now I'm running into the phone app FCing everytime I try to dial out. Any1 know what that is all about?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Not sure why it is having problems. Havent ever had any problems like that. If you are looking for a stock rom, jump over to my thread and DL the stock CR_mod Rom there. I think about the only difference is it is deodexed. I haven't had any probs with it at all. Everything should work. Make sure to do a data/cache wipe first. Make sure you have the latest clockwork recovery installed also. I think with some of the older versions of clockwork they didnt wipe correctly.

What exactly do u mean its "not letting" you... Your gonna have to be more specific then that with the error ur getting.. This has worked like a charm for me thru ROM manager as well as just loading up rec and flashing thru there... I suggest a data/cache wipe before install but the rom will wipe everything for u.... Be more specific with whats happening, i wanna try and fix ur issue as i feel this is a nice update.... CR

I have an ext3 partition for a2sd, do I need to format that for this ROM to not bootloop? Also, can I use my backup program to restore all my apps data and apk's and not worry about bootloop? I'm currently running SlideMeRoot5r1. What kind of steps should I take to ensure I can run this ROM smooth other than the obvious device wipe before install? One more thing to throw in here I have a 16 GB class 2 SD Card with a 32 MB swap on it...should I just delete that since it seems like swap on a class 2 sd card is pointless? Thanks in advance!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
If u update ur recovery in clockwork mod to the latest, when in recovery u choose wipe data/cache, its supposed to wipe ur ext as well... it does for me... if it doest, go to partitions and wipe ext... u must wipe the ext in order to prevent a bootloop as eugenes and i have different apps2sd implemented... This should solve the issues, and yes if u backup and restore apps and data, it will work fine... I used titanium and it worked like a charm.... Only restore USER apps and data, NOT system apps as that will kill the ROM on reboot... Being as these new files are all different and the framework has been patched with the OTA.... Hope that helps.... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bhilgeman:
I came from slidemeroot5r1 as well. I didn't even do a data wipe or anything. Like CR said, it will do it itself when you install the rom. Just make a nandroid backup before you flash the rom.

I let google restore the backup of my apps that it makes, but most of them FC when I tried to open them. uninstalling and reinstalling those apps fixed the issue. A fix_permissions may have fixed it as well but I didn't try it.

You may have better luck wiping your ext partition before flashing.

I am running a 96mb SWAP partition on an 8GB Class 6 card. I would be leary about running it on a class 2 card..

Just remember to make a nandroid backup and if something goes haywire you can always go back :)

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
My thoughts on swap...

I don't think it is necessary for a device like the Slide. If you're the type of mobile device user that runs a million different apps in a day, by all means enable swap using a fast sdcard. You'll probably see a performance increase. Personally, I rarely run more than 5 apps in a day so I just don't see the point.

YMMV.
