[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pepelatino:
hello, I'm new at rooting; I recently rooted my 3g slide and added 1.7.1 rom, I want to know how do I apply the slide.apk to the rom. (sorry if it sounds silly, but I want to do it right)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] encrypti0n:
slide .apk? not sure what you mean
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pepelatino:
I meant to say swype
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pepelatino:
I installed it from astro and reboot it the phone, but it's giving me a fc everytime it wants to start, any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
put it in the sdk/tools folder and then do this with the phone powered on cd to the android sdk tools folder on command prompt then adb install Swype.apk it will install it thats how i did it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Hey Roman I did an overhaul of the look of your rom and if you dont mind I would like to post it in here.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] droctii:
In the meantime why not just post it? I'm curious to see it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Post it. 10char
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
Wondering if Bluetooth is working on this ROM? Had CM 6 but had to go back to Slidemr5 for blue tooth, was looking through the thread but didn't see a definitive answer on whether it worked or not. Thanks is advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
Post moved...I'm a cottonheaded ninny-muggins.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
This is rather off-topic, I have to ask though, have you actually read 1984? In regards to your signature.

Also: new version
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
Thanks! Will flash... when I get home lol. What do you mean in the changelog by "stuff was done... or something"?

Also, what does it mean by "bloatless" gapps?

Thankssssss
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
I've been working on it on and off for a few days without keeping track of what I've done, that's why it says stuff :D

The bloatless gapps are a gapps package where everything except Google apps were stripped away.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vietnamazing:
Does wifi-tethering work for the newest version? I've been using 1.7.1 and it so far has been the best ROM so far. Does 2.0 have any significant improvements?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Based on the latest CM source. I haven't tested tethering, you should :D (nandroid first)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
If it's based on the latest CM, I think barnacles should work lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Anyway to access company directory search from contacts like stock mt3gs? Thanks for the update!! Please don't let the slide slip into obscurity and be forgotten!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
I'm not quite sure about that, actually. Never used any corporate directories on Android. Sorry!

Don't worry, as long as Cyan keeps making ROMs I'll be here to remove the useless crap :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Ah...I use my phone for work and being able to access the company directory to make calls and send emails is vital to me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
can't wait to get the 18-wheeler home to try it out (don't like downloading such large files over wi-fi tether)... gives me something to do tomorrow since I don't have to start building a specialized terrarium now (House Boss vetoed me buying 1 of the 18 Western Diamondback newborns my buddy has for sale). :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
I don't think that wireless-tether (proper) works on any CM6 due to driver incompatibilities. It causes a kernel oops (hard crash) when loading the wifi driver. I suspect it might be a problem that the wireless-tether developer can workaround though.

Use Barnacle in the meanwhile - it's actually better anyways.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Faud:
Is there a recommended OC kernel for this rom that I can flash on top of it anyone know?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
dumfuq's dopio OC kernel

if you aren't already running an OOC kernel then I would start out with the 768 and work your way up... not all chipsets behave the same, my wife and I are both running the 844 but some on here and some (my TMO rep is one) who's phones I have personally rooted, installed custom ROM and kernel on can't get past 806 or 825.

I would also recommend coolbho3000's SetCPU you can get it here on xda free or get it from the market for a donation (I did both, downloaded here free but within 24 hrs got the paid "upgrade")
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
Sidenote : You bet I have, man! Unbelievably up to date for being written so far back in time. I handed the book to my gf, after she asked about it, and she was hooked from the first page. Orwell really was an enlightened man of his time. Definitely a MUST read for anyone that enjoys books, whether they agree w/ it or not. Yeah, I have been doing my own investigations, since 9/11... I'm fully awake to the tyranny.

Trying new version right now, my main man. This was the best Froyo before the latest update...I'm glad to try it again! Will post comments!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
exchange

Does anyone else have any problems with Microsoft Exchange emails.

I cannot set it up, as it keeps saying: Unable to contact the incoming server.

I know I have everything right, and I was able to use it on my previous ROM: Slide4

Roman, please help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
No market/internet/contacts. Please Help !

I have a couple of issues...Please help

There is no Market icon/app on my device anymore.

My internet is not working/everytime i try to go on the internet, it crashes.

I cannot sync with my gmail account.

Please Help !!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Ah. I think you missed the point of Orwell's novel, at least what I believe he intended to say from what I read in his preface to Animal Farm. He wanted people to be aware of the dangers of Communism (and all totalitarian systems of government), not against Socialism (for which he was a strong supporter).

Meh, to each his own! He is my favorite author :D

Is the server up?

Hmm, that IS odd. Did you wipe before flashing?

Either way, wipe+reflash.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
I did a wipe+reflash again. The internet works and the apps works(no more force close error). However there is still no Market icon/app ???

Please help cuz i need to download some apps and mainly my backup app.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
if you don't mind loosing a bunch of bloatware you can flash the bloatless GApps in my sig... you flash it just like a kernel
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
This rom is ridiculously smooth. Great Job!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
I did just that , it works now ...thank you !
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
no problem, I got the link from r0man's first post in the thread and added it to my sig to make it easier to find... :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
Yes the server is up. I managed to connect using TouchDown Exchange App, so everything is working on the Microsoft side. Any way to flash the espresso email app?

Also, how to get the flash to work in the browser. It worked perfectly on the espresso. Thanks a lot. This is the best Froyo so far for Slide!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
Would flashing espresso browser from SM4 do any good?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Unfortunately porting the Espresso email application is impossible :(

Flash is not available for ARM6 devices, nor should you need it for a mobile device. If you absolutely *must* have it for some crazy reason or another you can use Skyfire.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
Setting it up now. I keep bouncing between 2.2 and stock-based ROMs. I really love the stock dialer and camera.

One day we'll have stock 2.2 based ROMs. One day...

Thanks, r0man!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
Has anyone figure out a way to sync outlook with 2.2 for MTS? I have been looking around, but came out empty handed.

Any advise or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

By the way this is the best ROM I have tried so I am using it as my daily companion.

Thanks for all the hard work
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
So far TouchDown Exchange app does the trick pretty well. You can find it in the Market.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
Yeah, but socialism done right is not about denying the rights of the people, it's about Government adequately providing for all... From the greatest to the least, such as in Canada's healthcare. Marxism, on the other hand, is about the failed attempt of socialism from the total takeover of the rights of the people, for the good of the people as a whole, similar to Communism. Except that Communism is the end game of Marxism's failed attempts. People have gotten these terms mixed up for a long time, and trend to paint those calling for socialism as bad guys. Either way, bro... Its nice to see one that's awake.

Awesome rom, I'm gladly running it and I must say, it's STILL MY FAVORITE FROYO!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
:D!

Push htcclay's framework-res from superfly and you'll jizz buckets everywhere. One of the best themes he's ever done.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
So, in my absence from ROM file-pushing I forgot to make some customizations that I normally do. Ill correct it tonight

Sorry for the double post, tapatalk is silly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
I am prepared to jizz elephant bawl sized loads...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
Can't find his 1.5.1 file anywhere to download and push... 1.3 is available, yet only downloads 14 mb of the file. Craziness!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
how do i do that? The last time I tried putting in the framework.apk from other roms (using the kitchen) it either broke the rom or made the wifi not usable :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
if you were trying to download his files from Android Spin, A.S. was moving to new servers this morning.

side note is Barnacle they only way to have wi-fi tether on 2.0? regular wi-fi to my router at home works beautifully but my google wi-fi tether that worked wonderfully on 1.7.1 causes reboots now.

Yes I did a full wipe... wiped data/factory reset, batt stats and dalvich. also tried re-wiping and re-installing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Adb push it to /system/framework good sir!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
No dice...

This is the error I'm getting from AndroidSpin. Anyone have the file that they can upload for me? That'd rock! Error 404: file not found

./files/htcclay/SuperflyTCBY1.5.1_Slide.zip was not found on this server.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
Is it supposed to be only 14MB...?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
No it was somewhere between 75 and 95 MB

Screen Rotation Lag

Hey guys? Im experiencing the Screen Rotation to lag...Is there anyway to fix that?

Auto-Rotate Screen is checked off in Display settings. However it takes me a good 5 seconds before switching.

My bluetooth is also not working. It's paired up and connected to the device. However, it doesnt ring and I cannot operate it (no talk,answer)

Any help? Thanks in advance.

And GREAT Rom !! My first time flashing a rom to my MTS and I think i did the best one !.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
not sure about the screen rotating issue... but the Bluetooth problems are a known issue with all the 2.2 ROMs (unless this has been fixed and I didn't see it anywhere yet)

if you are needing a working Bluetooth I would suggest either of the following ROMs, they are both 2.1 ROMs though

[ROM] CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA Full ROM

or

[ROM] SLIDE-Reloaded v1 [9/16/10] Sense 2.1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
Oh okay , Thanks for sharing Raven...but damn, i wanted to stay with 2.2 Rom though :( . Hopefully, there'd be a way to adjust the rom and add bluetooth sooon.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] valdezpa09:
hey could i get a copy of your boot ani?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
Do you mean the SeizureDroid one linked in the first post?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
Anyone else having issues with the browser not loading pages? It will work for a little while, then suddenly I'll go to open a page and it'll freeze. At this point it will not work anymore until I reboot the phone.

GPS issue

Is anybody else having a GPS issue? I am totally unable to get a GPS lock on my slide after i flashed that rom.

I love that Rom but so far, no bluetooth and no gps... Any help please? Also is there any other GPS navigation besides the google one?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
I find it hard to believe that on this rom and Cyan 6.0 I'm having issues with the browser not loading to where I have to reboot every so often. Its fine for a little bit then it just stops.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AlexM105:
Does anyone know where I can find a Sense UI black notification bar that works with this rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stryfe1986:
I just got this ROM, but Im still having issues with WIFI not connecting, just keeps discoing and attempting to reconnect again. Do I need to flash in 709radio? Or what am I doing wrong? Only things I have done so far is get the 2.0 and a kernel to Overclock
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
Is there no working wifi tether apk yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
are you having issues connecting the phone to a wi-fi or using the phone as a hot spot? if the issue is trying to use it as a hotspot then switch to TF 1.7.1 wi-fi tether (hotspot) is working GREAT!!! Same basic ROM but from a different CM6 nightly

here is the Wi-Fi apk I use with the #TF 1.7.1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
I'm running the latest 2.0 teamfenix and every tether app I've tried makes my phone reboot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
Use the Barnacle Wifi Legacy app from the market...it works pretty well for me.

My only 2 biggest issues are Bluetooth and Mainly GPS.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
if you are still having GPS issues then switch back to #TF 1.7.1... that will fix your GPS issues also that will allow you to use the built in Google wi-fi tether apk
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
You know what Raven...i think thats exactly what imma do...because i need the GPS and bluetooth as well.

Do you know on the 1.7.1 if i can still have live wallpaper, apps2sd feature and the oc825 kernel ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
you still won't have BT but you will still have LWPs and the same app2sd(FAT32) you have with #TF 2.0 and if the 825 works with your chipset on this ROM it will on 1.7.1.

do you have the espresso or the legend? asking because your sig shows ya using the legend source kernel.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
Then i guess its worth it to go back to 1.7.1 if im only gonna be losing BT. Do you know anything else i will lose by going back ?

Yes the 825 works pretty good on my phone right now using the 2.0, so...im assuming it'll work if i go back. Not sure.

The kernel i have is from dumfuq and is exactly whats on my sig which is a legend," OC 825-v3.2-legend-cm-2.6.29" ....by the way what is the difference between the espresso and the legend and did i download and install the right kernel?

Thanks in advance Raven n sorry to be a noobie :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
you'll only lose the same stuff you lose anytime you flash a new ROM (call log, text msgs... ect)

I'm not completely sure one the difference on the kernels. I run the ones based on espresso source since the espresso is what my wife and I have

I'm not trying to knock on r0man's work, it's just that his 1.7.1 has been the best 2.2 ROM I have used so far for MY needs.

so you don't have to search for all your apps again I would recommend installing App Brain App Market from the market and syncing it be fore installing a new ROM. with app brain after installing a new ROM all you have to do is re download it and re-sync it and it will have a list of everything you had before you flashed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
Okay i dont mind losing call log, sms and stuff....i was wondering if im gonna lose anything major such as the LWP, a2sd and so forth...anything useful i guess.

Oh, i think the 1.7.1 was a 2.1 ROM?...for some reason i cant seem to find it on xda anymore by the way.

OKay, imma flash the espresso based kernel oc 825 or 844 version 3.5 that dumfuq has up now. (do u know if the setcpu profiles will be saved or will i have to redo them over again?)

Thanks for the reminder for App Brain , i do have that App , verrry useful.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
nope 1.7.1 is a 2.2 ROM... I think r0man pulled it down after putting up 2.0, see my sig for the link ;)

if you use dopio 3.5 you will have to disable your profiles or it will have serious lag and FC issues, it is coded to not need the profiles.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
Oh okayy...even better. Thanks for the link, already downloading.

So my next steps are to Flash the 1.7.1, flash the dopio 3.5 825 or 844 via Rom Manager and reinstall my apps via AppBrain. Is that correct?

Also I can use Rom Manager to flash the Rom right...just go to Install Rom from SD Card then select it then when it promps me click on both Backup existing rom and Wipe data and cache...Is that also correct?

Thanks bro.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
I always use ROM Manager, reboot into recovery > wipe data/factory reset. under advanced options I wipe dalvich and batt stats. then install from zip > choose zip. flash ROM, then kernel and if you want to get rid of more of the bloatware you can flash the Blaotless GApps that r0man posted (it has none of the TMO bloatware and just the basic Google Apps) you can also find that link in my sig

side note incase you haven't used ROM Manager since it's last update vol up and down scroll through menus and track pad selects or you can use track pad to scroll menus and as always the "back arrow" button takes you back one menu

good luck and enjoy what in my opinion is #TeamFenix/r0man's best ROM to date:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
I'm running the dopio 3.5 kernel with profiles .... I think you're talking about perflock...

- faylix
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
Okay great ! Will do !

I do have the Bloatless GApps as well .

Yes i have recently used it to flash the 2.0 but didnt know....thats pretty cool. Thx again

Will come back and let u know how 1.7.1 is treating me and all lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
nope, I am talking about "profiles" from my own experience and from others having the issue. on the advice of another user I disabled my "screen off" profile and all the lag and FC issues disappeared and my battery life hasn't suffered because the 3.5 kernel only bumps up when you need it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Nshih422:
2.0 is great...installed 2.0, gapps, and the 7.09 radio. everything seems to be working great so far and it's very very smooth. Only had about an hour or so with it, but absolutely love it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Oh, sorry guys! Didn't know there was still an interest in 1.7.1! Ill plop the links up in the OP!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
no problem man, I don't know what it is/was about 1.8 and 2.0 but the CM nightlies used for those 2 I couldn't get my Google Wi-Fi tether to work to save my life and 2.0's GPS was real buggy for me. that was why I changed from having the hyper link sending folks to the thread and straight to what I personally thought was your best version :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
2.0 is great man...however I travel a lot and i desperately need the GPS and unfortunately its not working on the 2.0 :( . As far as Wifi tethering, the apk isnt working on it either but im using Barnacle so im ok with that.

I go back to 1.7.1 tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
I am having problem with Barnacle. It says is beaconing ad hoc network, but I cannot find the network on my computer, it never shows up.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for help.

PS.

GPS does work on 2.0, it just takes about 2 min to locate...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
Has anyone had any weird issues with losing Swype on occassion? Every now and then - possibly when my battery runs out, can't quite recall - I go to type a message or something and the keyboard is back to the default Android one. I actually have to go back into settings to re-enable Swype then choose it as default again.

Using Swype from the OP.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] byto1:
Yes i have had issues with it in the beginning. Below i posted the instructions from the website on how to fix it.

As far as GPS I've waited for a good 10 minutes everytime i tried and never get to locate or give me the directions. The Driving Directions is not working for me :(

How to use Barnacle:

Press Start, Barnacle will start associating immediately.

Right after it starts beaconing, tell your laptop to scan for wireless networks.

If the laptop didn't detect Barnacle, press Associate and try scanning again.

Tell your laptop to connect with the ad-hoc network.

Right after it starts connecting, tell Barnacle to Associate again to close the deal.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Nshih422:
Ok well, I have been using this 2.0 mod for a few days now. I'm really loving it. Thanks!!!!

Something strange has been happening though. Not really a problem just want to point it out. Since I put this mod on my phone, once in a while my "3G" changes to "H". Does this mean its switching to the new HSDPA technology? According to T-Mobile, this shouldn't even be available in my area, Phoenix Arizona. It seems MUCH faster when loading pages when it has the "H" Icon, compared to "3G", but when I run a speed test, my ping is 999ms and its under 100 kbps. Like I said not really a problem but just wondering if anyone knows what is going on.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jojo7972:
Works great, this was my first time ever doing any kind of rooting to a phone and I didn't have any problems at all, the biggest issue I had was getting my PC at work to recognize my phone, lol......thanks!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jojo7972:
Does anyone know how to modify the dockbar?

Can you get different dockbar options with different themes?

Also, here is a screenshot of my screen now after the rooting and rom install :cool:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jojo7972:
I had issues with my PC not picking up my phone with the tethering, are you using an app for the tethering?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] atlmatt:
Yes i am having the same problem. It only happens on a reboot for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
Thanks for the Barnacle info..it worked :-D

As far as GPS...perhaps try re-instaling the OS?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
Here is a very noon questions:

What is the best way to back up apps so you dont have to re-install them all from market when switching from one build to another?

Since you have to wipe everything, how do you preserve your apps?

Thanks.
