lol @ people complaining that MTS should've been the G2 when the G2 is supposed to be the G2.

MTS is what it is; if you don't like it then why did you get it and complain about it...

That's it. It's a MyTouch...... with *gasp* a slide feature. It's a better MyTouch.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hypersonicx:
Point is, Soon as the G2 and MyTouch HD drop, it will be a wrap for the Slide. Actually, it will be a wrap as soon as the G2 drops lol... Vibrant / HD2 stole all the attention.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Whoareyou:
I have an idea, one of our current devs gives/sells there mytouch slide to a differant dev for a different phone for them to dev on when they get the G2 or HD that way we still have a dev or 2

Hey... you'll always have your buddy jdkoreclipse ;) j/k I know you didn't know better but that guy cracked me up! He had like 5 projects going and a day before that was asking what a kernel was in a different sub forum, hehehehe!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hellraz0r:
So back to the topic I would like to see a completely vanilla rom with all things working. Simple. I wouldn't mind if it was was 2.1 as there is a JIT hack available now. But just to have OC. Wireless tether. Keyboard. And Bluetooth. All working in a vanilla rom would be acceptable. I don't think there are many options from cm6 (2.2) I would miss. Except maybe the actual numerical percentage over the battery icon.

Thanx CR

Anyone coming from the g1 or mytouch is spoiled (myself included) when it comes to roms. The g1 has 100+ roms to choose from because it was the first android device. The slide is a great midrange android device and has plenty of life in it. However to expect that it would have the cult following of the g1 would be unreasonable. I'll continue to push stuff out for the phone while I have it (i intend to keep it for a while). Dumfuqs OCs make the phone competitive performance wise (althought its quite good stock too). I would like to see an updated Aria2Slide, however, I'm retarded. That is my two cents. kthnxbye.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] epeets:
+1 for aria2slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Completely agree with you...

How the hell can you release the Slide and then have 3 Superphones under wrap, especially considering one of them is the MTHD. This is all a big Market of money scam, they are getting as bad as M$ with their sneaky marketing. They dont even seem to be in a rush to give us any kind of Froyo, I have the feeling the slide will get it after the G2+HD launch...I also dont understand their point in making the frickin phone nand-locked, what do they hope to gain from that?They better not do that to the G2 also.This reminds me of dumb MOTO releasing 2 damn Droids(1+X) so close to eachother, how pointless is that,dont they have like the same things?..And Way to go Tmobile giving the customer what they want:rolleyes:, damn you big businesses, keeping the poor man poor and the fat cats rich.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Jeez... The hostility in the thread over my "dead" comment... Sorry guys, I think some of you may have took the title wrong and thats my fault... By dead, I meant development seems dead... we have biff and a couple others producing stuff and credit to them for at least maintaining some things we can flash for fun... The G1 and 32b we all had DID in fact spoil us.... But being the first android device, and other later coming out running the same base HW was almost cheating... Because EVERYTHING was cross compatible... We could compile from source and everyone did that... Then we gt the ports going, how? Like I said, all new devices ran the same HW, so porting was possible, mainly because of the procs were the same and in turn the binaries were interchangable... Now we were given a device that is just what was previously said to be... A myTouch that happens to "Slide"... That being said, what are our options? To run all the exact same stuff as the G1 and 32b... But we have a new device u say? We should have new ROMs right? Go back to ur favorite G1/32b threads and take a look at whats being produced... Absolutely nothing we havent all seen and ran in our flash addiction.... So... lets backtrack... We all had G1s/32bs, we all ran those ROMs and ports and that was good stuff, then we jumped off the cliff and bought a device thats the same as our previous including HW... Wheres that leave us you say? With the same ROMs and possibilities we walked away from in procuring this device... (Basically nowhere)... Now that being said, I could port every single ROM in the entire G1 thread or Sapphire for that matter if ppl wanted that... But u wont see new device ports cause we simply dont have that option... All the successors went arm7 while were outdated with the same proc as the G1/32b just a little more RAM and the proc is clocked a little higher... I honestly DO like the Slide.... But Im not sure it was the best idea to satisfy the G1/32b succes unless it was out at the same time as the 32b as an alternative... I didnt mean to cause an uproar in the threads altho at least were all talking again lmao... I was simply asking for an opinion on where to go from here.... Do we want all the same ROMs as 32b/G1? Cause I can do that... It just seems reduntant... Im gonna change the name of the thread to eliminate further misunderstanding but I hope I have kinda cleared that up here... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
All I can say to that is.... Cosign.... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ward360:
Changes

I would like to see a few things fixed.

1. Wireless tether. I see a lot of people looking for a solution, and I would love to have this option, I would hate to really need it and have to drag out my old g1 that it works on.

2. Bluetooth. I don't use it but I know a lot of people do, A big reason why some haven't switched to CM 2.2. It did try to use my wiimote last night. and realized that they are Bluetooth and I couldn't use it to play Excitebike on my slide. I was a little sad...

I built my first rom mod the other night, just a battery Icon change, I wanted something fun

+1 for the battery mod ;) Looks good man... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rubbachicken:
One of the old G1 roms was a port from I think the HTC Tatoo or maybe it was called the tap before we found out the tap wasn't even android and also was horrible...

Anyawy; the rom included a homescreen/launcher that you could scroll not just left/right but up and down... Perhaps this is just a simple APK REQ or maybe that launcher has never once been updated since but I thought that was kinda cool and I don't really see a point to new roms unless they have larger differences like that ...

Otherwise all the roms seem the same, same kernel same launcher same system apks... diff theme...

I don't know I'd really like to make some roms but I really honestly dont' see a point to making a rom when I feel like all I did was move some APKs around ...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
If i remember correctly, being as i did a ROM with a similar UI for the 32b but later scrapped it, its called the "Canvas UI"... Check it out here thanks to @GamerCore (Chris Chavez) ;) BTW, this is nt my ROM but shows the UI im speaking of... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
I rooted a buddies Hero today and seen something I really liked, it was on the extreme blue cm 6 for the hero. When I held in the power button it gave me the option to reboot, power off, reboot to bootloader and reboot to recovery I would love to see that working on all the roms we have I use TeamFenix 1.7 oc 806. Also a 3D screen sliding effect would be awsome! Hell make it go in a circle as long as its 3D I would LOVE IT.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
Yup love to be able to reboot.

Even though new phones are coming out I'll be using the Slide for a long time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DaemionIX:
Aside from the tether/bt/kb lights that everyone would enjoy seeing fixed, I would really like an a2sd ext for cm6. Forgive me if this is already out there in some thread and I missed it.

Other than that I'm pretty happy with the current cm6
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] valdezpa09:
if i could get a 2.2 with bt working i would be more than happy hahah but from the looks it wont happen until we get the release from tmo... :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] infinitybiff:
Only thing I can think of would be a stable Aria2Slide and updated Lengend2Slide. It would also be kinda cool to see a 2.1 motoblur or touchwiz port , however it would require alot of work since neither of those come on an MDPI phone. A vanilla eclair rom seems silly because we have a perfectly working vanilla froyo rom (cm6). We're likely going to be dead development wise until we get a froyo sense build from tmo or htc. The only development strides I see us taking are in mods that stretch the hardware to known limits (overclocks etc). Ramhacks are unnecessary since we have 512mb of ram on the slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] encrypti0n:
RANT

I agree. at first when it came out everyone was super stoked about this and how great it was, then something better comes along, and the complaints start rolling in. I can understand developers complaining as it is hard to develop for a phone like this. but what really bugs me is when people who dont develop complain. ABOUT EVERYTHING. a new ROM comes out they love it for two seconds then hate it when they find out about the issues it has(not all. some people dont) I mean shouldn't it be obvious that things won't work. IT'S a THIRD PARTY ROM for YOUR PHONE. unless the devs who "cooked"(not sure that applies to android but I guess it does on WinMO?) these ROMs work @ HTC and have access to Everything about this phone(not sure what the terms are but I am assuming its stuff like recovery keys and stuff of that nature. sorry I am a noob) then stuff wont work. and yes the devs are AMAZING at fixes and the work they do. but then you have people DEMANDING fixes left and right. developers HAVE LIVES, They go to work, some have kids, they are married much like some of you. instead of DEMANDING a fix go out a lrn2dev and FIX IT YOURSELF. now I am no dev, thats a fact. but I have at least doing some light theme-ing to my own phone. nothing worthy of the other roms here, mostly just to past the time, but I do it. also I have been trying to get into ROM developement, but seeing as I have no java or c experience its hard(just got head first java and some C/C++ books tho :P) I guess what I am trying to say is devs leaving doesnt mean a device is dead. the fact that they are shouldn't give you cart-blanche on complaints, this should be something that should inspire people to start developing for this phone not complain about/demand fixes for it. also the whole rant about there being newer/better devices?! OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NEWER/BETTER come on! same WITH ANY OTHER GADGET/COMPUTER/PHONE srsly? i dunno if any of you have noticed but.... THINGS GET BETTER AS TIME PASSES. IT HAPPENS. "oh no tmo came out with better phones than mine now I am all sad and stuff*cry*" srsly. ITS A PHONE. MAKES CALLS, SENDS TEXTS, HAS INTERNETS. we are lucky we even have smart phones WITHS APPS AND STUFF. some people don't. be happy with what you have. later one if you have the money or NEED something better get a new on. but save your complaints. complaining usually gets you nothing. god I feel like this place is filled with children. /rant >.<

tl;dr ITT people complaining/demanding stuff

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] encrypti0n:
I wonder if anyone read my rant...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] imnotashinobi:
the perfect rom for me [within the limits we currently have] would be:

1. everything working like in stock:

-bluetooth

-wifi

-keyboard lights

-the keyboard ["tab" goes to next line instead of being another space, sym, etc.]

-the graphics are smooth [stock was really good at this]

-swype included [it's useful~]

-the same camera/camcorder app [i don't like the non full screen ones]

-the best parts of the ota updates [new radio, better battery]

-the google apps [maybe update them?]

-genius [maybe make it un-installable for those who don't use it and don't have it's button hard-wired to it by default; a compromise could be short press for search, long press for genius]

2. except:

-no t-mobile bloat; including branding [unless it is superior to 3rd party offerings; i like the mytouch music thing]

-the bloat that has better options in market [maybe suggest some in your new rom thread]

-updating workaround that doesn't kill all updates [just the battery draining t-mobile one]

-change the dialer [i love the one i tried in froyo, from fenix, methinks]

-change the notification bar [no recent apps]

-change lock screen [keep music playing options]

->also, it would be awesome if we were somehow able to have it play music while it was locked and use the hard buttons to go forward/back and play/pause like for blackberries [map the controls to the face buttons?]

-battery with percentage on top like in froyo

-lock/power to end calls [boy, do i miss froyo =\, darn bugs!]

-doesn't have to have the stock launcher [i prefer launcher pro or adw]

3. and add:

-live wallpapers

-apps2sd [fat32]

-a slicker black theme so people are fooled into thinking it's that much more awesomer, but stick to an updated stock look so they don't think it's just a gaudy re-theme [optional, but i could actually help with this part ;D]

-jit compiler if you can

-widget substitutes for music, calendar, messages [i bought launcher pro and pure music widget so i don't need it as badly, but it would be great for those who don't want to buy those apps]

-spare parts without ads [who knew this was so useful :D]

-Wifi tethering!

-more google apps [i'd like to have car mode]

...that's all i can think of ^_^;.

it's a challenge, i know, but maybe we can make the perfect 2.1 rom before 2.2 comes out. because, frankly, the ones we have now aren't much to get excited about, with half-ass compatibility [not the fault of any of the devs] and all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
im pretty happy with using cm6 its a good rom. um maybe we can get someone to do some themes or maybe port some over i seen some good ones for the g1 but there mostly metamorph. i found about 2 that are flashable and that work with the mtslide theyve helped keep me good so far but i would like to see some more if anybodys willing:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] imnotashinobi:
oh? give me the files. i don't know about making them flashable, but if it's just a bunch of image files to edit, i might be able to pull something off. roms with custom themes might keep this thing alive for a bit longer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
AFAIK from what r0manz says we need the Bluez source code for Espresso, but HTC is not releasing it like all of the other phones. A little investigation reveals that Bluez is GPL so even derived works are protected by the GPL in some regards. Hopefully we can blackma^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hask HTC for the drivers' source code under these circumstances.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NiN39Z:
Well, I have an idea! Why don't you finish the aria2slide rom and maybe tackle the legend2slide rom and fix the errors and issues. I would love to have the legend2slide rom on my phone.

excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject, but what are the draw of these roms? i hear about them a lot.

Ya know I reaaalllly wanna see the camera from 2.1 stock ported to 2.2...

I don't know how dependant that's on the framework or what but the camera is honestly the only reason i keep deciding to go back to 2.1 then torch for 2.2 then 2.1 for the camera
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] imnotashinobi:
2nd!

when i saw that ugly camera on froyo, i went and checked to see if i somehow downgraded. and as for torch, i found an app on market, it has strobe and morse code too :D. that is why i believe we should work on the best 2.1 for now, because that is the one we have best compatibility with.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
This isn't possible with a Vanilla rom, you'll have to make due with 3rd part camera apps instead.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rubbachicken:
See that's the problem... Why isn't it possible?

Is it not possible or are people just not interested in the idea enough to do it?

how come it can exist in 2.1 stock but not 2.2....

If it's framework ... port the framework... get past the can't. It's holding you up; bro.

I think theres far too much "Can't" when really it's won't...

HTC Framework/rosie was ported for the G1... But for all other devices people say it's not worth the trouble and just boil it down to "Can't."

Why can't it be done? Because no ones willing to figure it out .. hmm?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] arayray:
i dont want to start a fight but ur saying all tht... then y dont u do it?

have u ever tried to port stuff...? you run into alot of errors (most of the time)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jreed3786:
My 2 cents...

Would love Froyo but with:

2.1 dialer (where you can dial the letters of the name, scrolling blows donkey mang), without having to use Dialer One...

Stable wi-fi,

And apps2ext.

Other than that, I'm not picky. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
People are interested but the sheer amount if work and trying to conquer closed source apps make this too much for someone to do. Cyan has a team of people working on his roms and what your asking would take a team of developers and some serious hackery and work to get it stable enough to use! By the time it happens we will already have 2.2 sense froyo
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
And also, due to legal reasons, cyanogen and the cyanogenmod team don't touch closed source material. It's the reason why when you flash any cyanogenmod ROM you have to flash the GApps.zip. It's a legal workaround.

OT: Overclocking

I can't tell you specifically, but I can speculate as to why.

Just as in the PC world, you will see one phone that can overclock to 844, and an identical one that cannot. Both have the same chipset, but small variations in manufacturing yield result in some that overclock better than others.

FWIW, 844 doesn't work on my phone at all -- it freezes at the CM logo. The next fastest, 825MHz, is not terribly stable either. I've been using the 806 for a while, but dropped down to the 786 last night because of random reboots and other weirdness.

I'm generally for overclocking, because it's fun to see how high you can go, and I see some improvement in speed. On the other hand, it can wear out components faster via extra heat, electromigration, etc. Worse yet, it's more difficult to diagnose problems (is it the OC? is it the app? is it the ROM?).

If these were PCs, we could figure out which build date/version was more successful at overclocking (cf. Celeron 300A). But in our case, we can't swap out the part, so it's the luck of the draw.

Hope that helps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] voxluna:
Is this why CM 6 doesn't have any Bluetooth headset at all? I have A2DP (music) all day, but no HSP/HFP.
