Yes I understand, man this developers are awesome! :D

How ever, as for what I've seen the root method is still complicated for the MyTouch Slide, 2 procedures to root and one to flash a room, (I'd like CyanogenMod)

I've dealed with Sony Ericsson Walkman phones modding, but Android's are more complex xO

The things that make me feel like trying it out are:

-Froyo of course..

-Full Flash Player 10.1

-Install apps on SD (I've read it requires more things like a partition and don't know what else)

-Live Wallpapers

-make it mine.....

The things that pull me back and make me feel like not. trying:

What if battery life was better in stock rom??

The tutorials sound a lil' experimental

Besides rooting and rom flashing, there also this Radio thing.... is it nesesary or optional??

I'd like to save my self fun time and head breaking from not trying. THEN WHY I AM HERE?!---- Because I'm undecideeeeeeed xO

Trust me battery wont change just cause you rooted, some say Froyo has "better" battery life, now i cant promise cause i dont use froyo on my slide.I oc and get 1 day+....Well depending on usage of course.:)

You need to upgrade your radio too, it is very simple to root, i rooted my slide twice with the new new method that just came out(1-2 weeks ago)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Also some people are 15, and have their parents paid the bill, as well as paying for warranty every month, so rooting is not an option for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Whoareyou:
Why not im 13 and ive rooted and unrooted bout 10 times, just take a chance,
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Tzatlacael:
Ok I just wqant to know what I am doing if I decide to go for it.

If I want to flash the TeamFenix 1.8:

Use Eugene's guide to root.

The second part to full root,

Then the flashing of thr Rom

And the newest radio..(applied the same way of a.rom?)

A Kernel...Nesesary? :P silly me..

I'd just review every part of this procedure, and if I'm not missing anything else, I'll do it!

______________________________________________

I just read that Android 3.0 is probably gonna be released by October 15-16.

We, with mid/low-end devises will stay with Froyo, while the Gingerbread will be for 1Ghz phones only :(

Well, this now gives me more desire to root and flash...

[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
The kernel isn't needed, only if you absolutely want to overclock and such. I would follow Eugene's root method, along with the ENG flash, then wipe/flash the desired ROM after that.

Also, it will be good practice to keep the last update.zip file Eugene has you put on your sdcard, as you will need it to boot into the clockwork recovery image everytime to flash a ROM, since we cannot perma-flash recovery yet.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
I dont even understand your point here...Im 15, rooted my G1 when i was 14 and now rooted my Slide....Your parents wont care if you root or not, they most likely wont know what that is. Just tell them your updating it, they wont know the difference from froyo or stock, just say you downloaded a theme.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mylostlonelysoul:
Back in the G1 era, rootin meant breaking the contract and say it breaks and you want a replacment, well to bad you are s.o.l. This is what the t-mobile sales person told me. When your 15 with no way of income and you break the phone and cant get a new one then what are you going to do? That's right you can't do anything. This is when the parents come in "sorry mom/dad i rooted my phone and i broke it". Maybe your parents don't care but other parents do care. Not everyone wants to take that risk, sure rooting is nice but its not for everyone. Im sure they changed the phone replacment issue but you still have to pay like 200$ for the replacment, which comes back to the 15 year old with no source of income.

Shall we get back on topic?

I believe the slide is lagging behind with all the newer phones but is it still great for those that arn't using it for extreme tasks. You knew it was a mid-range phone when you bought it (atleast you should've done your research before buying it) so complaining that the slide doesn't have scorpion processor or humming bird and all these awesome specs is pointless.

The froyo issue im a little angry about, but I can deal without it for now. As long as they release it with espresso and little bugs (every update has bugs) then its worth the wait, dont you think?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Tzatlacael:
Overclock sounds interesting, but risky, but interesting for the ones who are willing to handle this.

If I use the kernel for overclocking, I believe U can still set it with SetCPU at normal stock speed, right?

The clockwork recovery, is it done with app in the Market right?

And the Radio update which as I have understood, it downgrades in certain procidure, so I'd must then update it, (I see it's update is the same as on the last OTA update,)

Yet, I haven't seen anywhere a tutorial for the inatallation of apps to SD, that a partition is requiered. Or this is not needed as on this Rom with froyo? I have mad apps :D

I'm still analizing, if I follow and understand everything I'm real sure this can be done with zero issues.

I'll take my time, and I might as well do it tomorrow or this afternoon lol It all depends on how fast I comprehend the steps and guides :P

Well I think that's it for my questions xD Sorry to bother and thank you all for the replies and answers! Really appreciated.

You cant brick the slide if you know what youre doing, if your flashing random spls,radios then yeah you got a problem. Currently only CR has bricked his slide by doing what ever he did. The G1 is brickable if you do the wrong radio/spl combo. The chances of bricking is like next to nothing.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] MatMew:
In my experience, if you've got a phone with root and for some reason or another need to have it replaced on warranty just brick it real good so they won't be able to tell what you've done.

"I woke up this morning and it wouldn't turn on!"
[myTouch 3G Slide General] arayray:
im 15 dude i came from the Cliq Community i bricked phones before all u do is tell tmobile the "update" made ur phone not turn on and they trouble shoot and eventually send u a new one... but i no wat im doing now cause of helpful devs and now i make my own roms and kernels :rolleyes:

dont even tell ur parents wat should they care its ur phone
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
Guys please shut up about your ages... your making me feel old! I just turned 29 last month. I feel depressed now. Although, I think I would kill myself if I was a teenager again. Fun but tough! Okay back on topic...

@Whoareyou

Cuz if somethen happens to my phone I will need to replace it -_-
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
I know my parents won't care, and lol you told tmo the update bricked it that's smart :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
@sino8r

Ur still young.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Ok let's say I root it successfully, and then something ends up happening to my cellphone, what then?since it still voids warranty
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Whoareyou:
Im 13 rooted, and running CM6 stable and IF somthing happens to you phone just flash the ESPRIMG.zip from wes, then send it in and all will be well, if you cant get into fastboot then theres no way thry will be able ro tell it was rooted, a ex-T-Mobile tech support guy told me that so one way or another your safe, Dont worry
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Ok thanks, but I have a really old mac version, Mac OS X 10.3.9, my dad is going to buy a new computer.can someone please post a video for windows?

That one works on windows/Mac/Liunx(?).
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Tzatlacael:
I'm back!!!

I rooted and flashed! And trust me the original unrooted rom is better!

Why?? The available Roms are buggy here and there..

Some have or not full Camera/Recorder support

Some don't even have the stock HTC Flash Player even with Froyo! E: TeamFenix 1.8! And you can't do multitask because the TaskBar/Notification takes those off. Sucks real bad!

The Espresso sense is the best!

I rooted then flashed TeamFenix 1.8 with Froyo (it didn't even have Flash Player 10.1, Sucked!)

The stock rom has MyModes, you can cuztomize almost the same way with it in stock rom,

Now, Live wallpapers, ok there. And overclocking?

Umm ok. Then I'd then suggest SlideMEROOT5 Rom!

It is based on the Stock Rom, so you keep:

*MyModes, all normal

*Live Wallpapers In this Rom :D

*HTC Espresso Sense UI :D

* you can install OverClockWidget! (I'm ok, but be careful)

*HTC Flash Player, better than nothing!

*In this one you haveCamera/recorder support. I think CyanogenMod don't.

*and it comes with a WiFi tether app,

So over all, in my opinion is not worth it to root, and if you do or did and now you regret, you can flash this rom!

SlideMEROOT5!!! Other Roms ain't worth to try!

Stay UnRooted or follow tthe perfect steps to root are here:

What kind of tweaks have you done to it? I ran it for a day but then went back to my themed SlideMR1v4.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Tzatlacael:
Well i could save that just in case,

The only things that comes in SlideMEROOT5 different from stock rom, is that it has Live Wallpapers, SuperUser Permission app, and the tethering app. Then the HTC Espresso is in it too.

I can't wait for a SlideMEROOT rom with Froyo and HTC Sense :D

[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
I got rid of some of the apk,s that I will never use like stocks, faves etc

so I have more room for the apps I want. I changed the boot animation. I am working on applying different live wall paper, my own design. I just like how solid it was built have not had a fc other than ones i deserved :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
You wont get more space cause you deleted apps...Apps that are not internal goto the data partition...Internal or syst

em apps goto /system...You dont put market apps there so that free space isnt being used.80mbs is being wasted on the cache partition, place to put things like otas.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
I don't know how all that works. All I know is that by removing 9 programs I had 2 more megs free. At worst I got rid of the stupid icons :cool:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Tzatlacael:
You can save yourself some time and just use LauncherPro which has the feature to select apps that you don't want to see in the apps drawer.

It's honestly sad how the Mytouch Slide is dying out. You would think a reputable company such as T-Mobile would push very hard to market/support what is known as their flagship phone. I understand that the Slide is not a high end phone because of its specs (mainly processor and screen resolution), but if you consider a phone/something as your flagship then it should be supported well, meaning it should at least have froyo by now. Other flagship phones have received the update! Although I sound like I'm ranting, I definitely love the Slide and appreciate it. we're the only phone with Espresso Sense! I love the look and feel of it. The keyboard is wonderful and spacious although the number keys aren't colored a different color from the qwerty. I do wish T-Mo would of gave us an option to buy a rubberized battery cover. The gloss feel is too slippery. I'm pretty sure everyone has dropped their Slide at least 20 million times.

PLEASE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS & IF NEGATIVE PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL CAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE ARGUING BACK AND FORTH.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
:mad:

ask me about tmo and samsuck with my behold 2
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
You said I'm mad or your mad? Its the true though. Hopefully we get froyo before the mytouch hd comes out. Most likely they'll give us the update after the hd gets out from the look of things. I'm not that much mad because the mytouch isn't a bad phone if you think about it. For an underclocked 600ghz processor, the funny is pretty smooth. Games I've played haven't really had any lag/force closes. I just want froyo for the full web experience and I also want the opportunity to save apps to sd. Other than that I'm fine. My battery life has been more than great, the phone doesn't lag, camera is slightly above average in my opinion. Our best bet is to hold on to the Slide for a few more months/year and wait for a super phone with a front facing camera, 1.5ghz and android 3.0 "Ginger bread". it doesn't make sense to get the G2 or Vibrant which doesn't have the newer technology (front facing camera).

THANKS FOR LISTENING/READING!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
Sorry was suppose to be we both are mad. long story short tmo said the behold 2 was getting the 2.1 then all of a sudden they said nope no update. They wouldnt do it to us again would they?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Reality

I really like the MTS but I am calling it how I see it, and I do not see this phone getting the froyo update anytime soon. I keep hearing how we "might" get the update when the MTHD comes out, but hell by then I will be a proud owner of a MTHD and I won't be worried about the MTS. I am a TMobile person through and through but they seriously dropped the ball with this phone and as a MTS owner, I am definitely not feeling the love.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
I jus don't like the bubble icons, but can't wait for the mytouch hd :D in white
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DarkScorpion01:
Same here. I haven't seen any sense of importance regarding the MT3GS on T-mobile's part; it's as though the phone was cast aside right after the update. I'm thinking that all the advancement will have to be done by the users, aka root and flash. I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if it took another 4-6 months before we see an actual 2.2 update.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] enculturation:
I don't see what the huge deal is regarding Froyo. We'll get it eventually. In the meantime why not just use CM6?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
If t-mobile dosen't deliver they have to give us new phones, if not we can sue(just saying) because we got proof, the mytouch magazine states the mytouch 3g, and the slide will get froyo, but I know t-mobile they will deliver, even if they aren't good when it comes to updates, anyways I'm going to ditch the mytouch slide for the hd in white, because of;

HSPA+

Android 2.2 Preloaded

FFC(not a deal breaker just good to have to chat with my cousin in dr)

Nice 3.8 inch screen which is perfect

4gb internal storage(no more storage problems like I have on the mytouch slide :D)

No keyboard(I've been waiting for a high-end mytouch without a keyboard)

1ghz dual processor(good enough for me especially if it's the same as the g2's)

Only think I want is for expresso ui to not have the bubbles, and for it to be the new htc sense or an expresso sense mixed with the new one for better features, yet again I repeat without the bubbles.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Yea man and that's what's so messed up about the MTS, this midrange phone has some serious potential in my opinion. Granted the developers really hooked us up with all that they have done but even some of them moved on to other phones and you already know when that G2 drops, its a wrap. I personally am starting to feel that tmobile put this phone out as just a filler until the g2 and the mytouch hd makes their appearance. The one thing that pisses me off is that if tmobile would not have been so tight lipped about these two phones, I would've waited to get them.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ep3n3wp:

I am not saying anything but tmo promised the behold 2 users a update even had a ad for it. never happened that's why I bought the slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tubaking182:
would be nice to get an update as i like some of the espresso sense stuff, but i seriously doubt i will have sense 2.2 before i get my hands on a G2 so i doubt i will care in a few weeks
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
I know for a fact that we're getting the update. This is T-Mobiles flagship phone. The behold 2 was never there flagship phone. The Mytouch Slide is one of the most popular phones. Why wouldn't they give us froyo. Everyone please calm down and lets not get crazy or upset. Our phone does alot for what it is. Although its considered a midrange phone it performs very well. You get what you pay for! I hope no one takes offense. Just be happy and proud of your phone. There's people with HD2's and blackberries that admires my phone. I'm not making any of this up either.

I hear what you are saying, and I totally respect this phone. I know it is a midrange device, and I have seen this phone do things comfortably that it isn't suppose to do, and I love that. But you have to see it from our perspective. If this truly is tmobile's "flagship" phone, it would be treated as such. We are still waiting on froyo when newer and older model phones have already received their update. Not to mention, I and others like me, have been "mislead" by representatives about this phone. I asked pointed questions before I purchased this device and was lied to. For example, will this phone be hspa+ compliant, their answer, yes, but we know better now. And let's call it what it is, if tmobile wasn't so tight lipped about the release dates of the G2 and the mytouch hd, none of us would actually own this device. How could you release a midrange version of a device and 5 months later drop a hd version that has everything we would want and that's missing from this version? Tmobile knew what they were doing and it wasn't right. I have been with tmobile since they were Powertel and I'm not going anywhere, but it doesn't take away from the fact that they are neglecting this device with something as simple as an update!

I definitely respect and appreciate your response. Also I do want froyo just as much, if not more than some of you. I had an HD2 with froyo on it and I was definitely used to being able to view every site with full flash content, videos etc. Sometimes you gotta put yourself in others shoes to understand. I think most of us were aware that the Slide wasn't a highend phone before we bought it. Of course T-Mobile wouldn't tell us about the G2 or HD. The reason why is definitely money. We all say that if we knew those 2 phones were coming out that we wouldn't of purchased the slide. Its simple if you look at it. WE WOULDN'T OF PURCHASED THE SLIDE! Now some of us say were gonna purchase the HD OR G2 and that is exactly what T-Mobile want us to do. Its a very smart move on there part. Me personally, I would hold onto the Slide for a while and see what ground breaking phone comes out. Technology is always changing! If you get rid of the Slide for an HD or G2 then you'll regret it in a few weeks because something better will come out. SORRY FOR THE LONG LECTURE!

We've been waiting so long, I love t-mobile, and I am definetley getting the mytouch hd in white, but when it comes to updates they suck. The mytouch magazine said soon, and look where we are still no date on when we can expect it, while other phones are getting froyo like there's no tomorrow, even the droid x which came out one month later than this phone has a date, t-mobile please do better when it comes to updates, and I really hope they don't remove anything like mobile hotspot since they are making us wait long, and it's true flagship phones should be treated better.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
I completely agree. I was getting frustrated with the g1 being so poor of a device compared to whats out now that i got this. Yes, its mid ranged but it will carry everyone happily till the next generation of handsets. Personally i think all this super amoled, high def, and fcc stuff is cool but is it really worth dropping $500 every 6 months or less? Im waiting till this this feels as behind as the g1 in terms of performance and abilities.
