ROM manager formats the card with a fat32 partition and an ext partition - clean slate. Froyo uses an a2sd method that uses the fat32 partition of an SD card and needs nor uses an ext partition. I followed this method to activate a2ext after a fresh install because I was having issues trying to use firerat's a2sd patch for froyo. I, like you, already had my device fully set up when I decided to try to move my froyo (fat32) a2sd to my ext partition. Supposedly the firerat patch is the way to move the apps to ext partition with ADB/emulator and manage the ext partition. It did not work for me (multiple attempts). I usually use my G1 AmonRa recovery to partition my cards but this time I chose to use ROM manager to partition my card because I thought it would help with the firerat method. I never was able to get it working. Again, I followed this method after full wipe of the phone and SD and it worked like a charm. Hope that helps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MLonon:
I just checked and moved most of my apps to the sd card, but it did not move ALL of the app, just part. So how do I fix it to move ALL of the apps to the sd card?

Sorry, posted before I read NJAZ reply.... <sigh> The wife will NOT be happy with another night of wiping and installing.... Thanks for the heads up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
I think it may have to do with the my backup pro ... but that is only because it's the only thing different about how you and I are flashing this ROM. I could be wrong. Can you try to do an install without using the My Backup Pro to see if that gets things back on track? I've had ROM/system issues with restoring backups of my apps+data so I abandoned the practice. It took me a long time to get used to full device setups from the market, setting up my non-google email address, ringtones, notifications and loosing my Angry Birds progress but system stability seems to have been the trade off. Again, I might be barking up the wrong tree but I wonder how many folks with the wi-fi issue are using app+data backups from older builds ...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
NJAZ, last night I did a full wipe + downgrade to CR's OTA rom + full wipe + CM6 RC2 + Gapps. Wifi worked on the very first boot. After rebooting, however, it was no longer functional even with bluetooth enabled. Which is worse than the situation present in Nightly 180.

wifi calling attempted/failed

ok I tried to get wifi calling working on this rom after making the same kernel changes as was done for the nexus one implementation (sig links contain all info), but I didn't succeed - the rom works fine until I flash the kineto-n1-bundle, then after the reboot I just get a white screen & have to reflash rom - I think I need to make a slide version of the kineto-n1-bundle, but I'm not sure where to start. will keep trying.

edit: I see I have to change the build.prop in the bundle, using the original rom build.prop + kineto changes described in post #361 of the thread linked in my sig - will try that now

edit2: made those changes & reloaded everything - now rom works after flashing kineto-n1-bundle, ie no white screen, but when I install & launch the wifi calling app, it's stuck @"enabling" - probably not the right radio file - I'll keep playing :-(

edit3: started over - now when I start wifi calling, the app is stuck saying, "reading sim" - if I try to turn the app off (via the slider) I get, "calling preferences cannot be changed as sim is not valid" - I think that's progress (lol)

edit4: yikes, I just noticed I don't even have regular cell service any more - flashing back to virgin rom (all is well again after flashing back - so it looks like radio isn't compatible w/the kineto stuff)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Which version of wifi tether works on this ROM? I tried pre3 but get reboot when activating.

EDIT: found that 2.0.5-pre14 works!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
2.0.5 pre-13 and pre-14 (just tested) both work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MLonon:
Neon

Does anyone know if this ROM supports Neon? If not where can I get it? Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
HELP!!!

I really need some help! I flashed the rom from 6.1 rc1 and when it loaded, there were no gapps installed! so I installed them, but when it rebooted, i couldnt click on the android, so i had to skip it! how do i undo that so i can get into the market?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Go into market and it will automatically trigger Google sign in
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
If I can get the SDIO stuff for tiwlan going (or if HTC actually releases the GPL code), it'll be built in. The new Legend OTA has it.

NEON is a hardware feature for doing certain types of parallel operations, like MMX or SSE on an Intel CPU. The ARMv6 CPU in the Slide does not have this feature, only ARMv7+ has it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
I think there are some devices with slightly different hardware that are having these issues. That's the only thing that I can come up with, because it's flawless on my wife's phone. When I released the first version of 6.0 for the Slide, there were a handful of people who couldn't enable WiFi at all. Some kind of weird timing issue.

The change to WiFi/Bluetooth since RC2 is just updated firmware which came from the new Legend 2.2 OTA (same exact hardware). You could try putting the old stuff back and see if it works.

The files are /system/etc/firmware/wl1271.bin and /system/etc/wifi/Fw1273_CHIP.bin

It might also be worth trying the updated tiwlan.ini config file- it's here. Put it in /system/etc/wifi.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Thanks! Gonna give it a shot.

EDIT: Well, dog my cat! I booted into recovery and ran ADB PUSH [tiwlan.ini] /system/etc/wifi -- rebooted and, wouldn't you know it, wifi is working just fine without bluetooth being enabled. This is on nightly 185 BTW.

Steve, your insight into this stuff is amazing. Thanks so much.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pathensley:
wifi calling pieces

here are the files I've modified to try to get wifi calling working - maybe someone else can try these & figure out what's missing - the 1st link is the rc2 rom w/the kineto stuff added to the kernel (no google apps) - the 2nd link is the modified kineto bundle w/the proper build.prop - if you get a cell signal after flashing the bundle, then you should be able to install the wifi calling apk & it should work.

I think it's failing b/c of the radio version (fwiw, I'm on radio 7.09.35.10) or maybe the libhtc_ril.so in the bundle won't work on the slide, but I'm not certain, and I don't know how to debug it...

Hey Cyan tried pushing the tiwlan.ini to the phone but it seems i still need BT enabled for fully functioning wifi
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
I just edited my post a few minutes ago, but after pushing tiwlan.ini in recovery my Slide has working wifi without bluetooth enabled. How strange...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I am on RC2
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
I spoke too soon. As soon as I rebooted I was no longer experiencing working wifi, with or without bluetooth enabled.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
I keep hearing this, but to be honest, I do not think it is exactly the same. The HTC source code has separate code for Legend, Latte, and Liberty - they're not combined or shared in most ways. The Wifi code is uncertain because HTC doesn't share that with us, but people keep insisting that it's identical - obviously it's not. :p

Cyanogen: on the topic of Wifi code, I keep seeing that you're referring to the HTC/TI wlan code being GPL. According to everything that I can find, the code is not GPL, it is BSD. That means they do not have to redistribute their modified code openly, so our only chance is to reverse engineer it.

Thanks for your help on this!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] immortalxgod:
Okay so I tried to download this straight from the rom manager when I was stuck in church. However the gapps seemed to failed to download with it so I clicked the option not to install. Dumb of me cause when I flashed the new RC2 it seemed to be good. However I didn't install gapps so I went to cyanogens website and downloaded gapps and intalled it in recovery mode and it just lead me to the touch the android to begin. Can anyone help me. I managed to downgrade back to RC1 because I always do backups but I need help cause I want the update. Please and thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
What I do when Gapps fail to download is open a file manager, I use Linda, go into the clockworkmod folder then download>mirror1.teamdouche.net>get>espresso then copy or cut the zip I want (if there are multiple zips) and back to the root of the sdcard and paste. When it's done, I'll start ROM Manager and Reboot to recovery and flash the ROM then Gapps as I always keep the latest Gapps on my sdcard.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
can anyone select their service now? i always put it on at&t at home because tmo constantly drops bars and never wants to switch to roaming but now i get error everytime. nightlies and the first RC didnt have this problem.. :-(

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] worshipfulone:
Looooove having BT back! Mine works perfectly.

Unfortunately, my power widgets don't show up on the Notification area with RC2. They are there as you can press them, but they are invisible. Does this make sense?!

I rebooted, but nada. Not a huge deal, but I loved those widgets. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Zaiaku:
What is this wifi problem I see so many people having? I've been having wifi on since day 1 and have had no problems connecting to any network what so ever. I'm seeing people say need to enable bluetooth to have it working but I never once enabled bluetooth.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Bubba Ho-Tep:
I had invisible power widgets, until I reset the CM UI tweaks back to default and rebooted.. hope that helps

Overclock? WiiMote?

I got the gapps to work. I hadn't realized that when you flash the ROM, your supposed to flash the gapps right away too. Oops. Well at least I learned something.

BTW, is there any form of overclock for this ROM outside of Setcpu? I'm a little lost in the kernels I've found, plus I don't know how to go about using one anyhow. Any help?

edit: just remembered, off the top of my head, has anyone gotten the WiiMote app to work?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
What happened (and I had this issue too) is that you have to flash the gapps BEFORE you reboot into the ROM. So if you can find a mirror for the gapps (I know its around here somewhere, towards the beginning), and you have the ROM downloaded, just go into ROM Manager, pick the ROM, then click "add ZIP", select the gapps, and hit OK. It'll install everything, reboot, and you'll be good to go. Make sure its in that order too, I wouldn't imagine it would work it you did it backwards.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bryyyan:
I don't know if I am just missing the settings but where are the settings to change the blinking led notifations? I want to turn them off
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
From this forum regarding wi-fi issues:

"So simply put, the tiwlan driver the was built into the kernel is old and doesn't work properly. We either need to update it, or remove it from being compiled into the kernel and then compile the newer tiwlan driver as a module."

... mine seems to work properly :confused:

I'm still adjusting to the battery consumption on this ROM. On Chiefz stock mod I get 20+ hours. Same routine on this ROM I'm lucky to get 10 hours. Wiped stats and have conditioned battery (full drain/full charge). Is this normal for CM on the slide?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
Wiimote IME app works! Its just a little laggy... but it's there.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
If they're still installed try opening them then just closing out, maybe that'll get them to show up again, if not try clearing market cache and setting up your account again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ad505:
I read somewhere that it is a good idea to root a phone/flash a rom with a FULL battery. When I rooted my slide, i made sure to charge it full before even beginning anything, and it easily gets 24-36 hrs between charges running cm6.1-rc1. Before you re-flash, try charging your phone to full battery with it powered on. When it is @ 100%, turn the phone off. Unplug the usb and plug it back in. Leave it powered off, charging for about an hour. Then, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats - all while your phone is still plugged in. Reboot, let the ROM load, then play with it for a day and see if it fixed it. If not, try leaving your phone off and plugged in for 4-5 hours, then boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe batt stats and re-flash.

Hope this helps!

Nice routine. When I was using my G1 as a primary phone I used to have my flashing routine and it was just like yours. Now that I have the Slide I rarely flash ROM's and I spaced on the full charge before flashing. I will try your suggestions and see if I can improve battery life. Thank you for the feedback.

3 days and no problems at all with wifi, bluetooth or anything else regarding stability for that matter. Now if we could just get Clay to bless us with one of his customizations ...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Buddatearz:
Ive lost the ability to view and choose netorks through the main setting menu with cm 6.1 rc2. If you go to settings; wireless and networks; mobile networks; network operators, it always says error searching for networks. This may be a problem for me because I'll be out of the country for a while and may need to change networks on the fly. I just got my unlock code for a foriegn sim but havent used it yet.

Has anybody else noticed this? I may have to revert to rc1 just for my trip. Can anybody think of a fix? Ive never had wifi errors with any of cm roms, i also have the latest radio.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
same here ... error. Enabled data roaming to see if that would help and still got an error. I only have the TMO apn, I'm not sure if I need more apn's to search for/connect to roaming partners. Bum deal but good that you brought it up so that it might get fixed ... if it needs fixing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] arayray:
Or your not getting good battery life because the rom is overclock and is running at a high clock than the stock rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Compared to stock ROM, rather. OC 806mhz on Stock ROM (Chiefz OTA build), exact same settings, almost 10 more hours from a full charge. Screen off settings alone should offset any advantage to running stock CPU settings, at least I've always found it to be the case. Thing is, this ROM runs great at 600mhz. All is well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
Anyone figured a really good way to overclock? Like not on the application level, but in the kernel or ROM itself? I've got SetCPU set on like 756 MHZ with the performance governor, but i'm not really feeling like I got as much of a speed increase as I would like :(

While i'm at it, anyone got any good suggestions on how to make this ROM run faster in ways other than Overclock? Like anything settings wise? :confused:

Do NOT microwave your slide!

This rom is weak sauce at temperatures exceeding 300°.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
Yeah but that's celsius, at 300 F or under this ROM is golden. Personally I microwave my slide twice a week. I like the extra zing it gives to it and the OMFG.apk really shows off.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] petraman:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
Yup, RC3 is up. Some new stuff like lockscreen gestures and bugfixes, and a *potential* fix for the wifi issue some are having. Give it a try.

Seems like these guys keep on coming and OTA Froyo becomes more and more useless. Thanks for all the hard work!

I just installed the app2ext for froyo by putting the new boot into the rom and flashing. Will I need to redo that if I update to R3?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Yes you will
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
Yeah I just found that out =/ . Do you guys think I can use the R2 boot file for this ROM or will I have to wait for a new boot file?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
You should probably not use the same img, just wait for new one.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
I tried the same boot.img from RC2. I didn't see a problem. Maybe there just wasn't enough changes for it to hurt anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
It won't necessarily hurt anything, but the boot.img holds the kernel, so you'll be using an outdated kernel.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Oh ok then. We definitely want a newer boot.img then. Can't be running an out dated kernetl :D

so im haveing a couple issues.

1. idk if i f'ed up somewhere but whenever i say restart in to recovery my slide goes to the stock recovery, but if i use rom manager to reboot in to recovery ill get clockwork.... now i used the exploid method to root my slide, and have since had absoultly no issues with the root or anything... i told clock work to flash the recovery and everything, but somehow i still have the stock if i just do a regualr reboot...... help??

2. i saw in clockwork that RC3 has hit, but i am not able to download the rom through clockwork... it will hang and hang then say connection reset by peers? does this stem back to issue one? or what.... i dont have any data issues or anything that im aware of

thanks for your support

I am wondering if the Wifi issue is related to boot.img file we use for A2sd. Since (as I learned) it holds the kernel. Maybe just those who are using it are having problems. I actually was one that was having problems with wifi and I was using the modified boot.img. I am not having problems now though with RC3 and modified boot.img.
