I'm on my way home from a wrestling tournament, I'll repost the link in a bit.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
Size doesn't matter ;D

It's the class. The stock ones won't be fast enough though, unfortunately
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Yup, a2ext works, since data2ext caused lag due to my pre-installed sd card isn't a class 6, I flashed the patch from 3rdSense to enable a2ext, then used the corresponding commands which are (in case someone needs it):

Apply this patch

dtapps2sd-2.7.5-final-adv-signed.zip (attached)

so stay in recovery and mount everything from partitions menu

On cmd

adb remount <-- might not needed if everything is already mounted.

adb shell

cd /system/bin/

sh a2sd reinstall

"Your phone will reboot after that".

adb remount

adb shell cd /system/bin/

sh a2sd cachesd

"Ya phones gonna reboot after dat".

And that's it, a2ext will be working on this rom :P

Special thanks to Daniel and for a2ext patch.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
For some reason I can't edit the previous post.

And I'm unable to put the enabling package here. So if anyone needs it, just look for it in the first post of 3rdSense.

All credit goes to Acejocker and Daniel.

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using, WTF is wrong with XDA App!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
Can I have the front buttons also system controlled like the keyboard lights?

I'll bet this is the cause of my rapid battery drain.

Thanks!

I love this rom otherwise.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I really doubt the front lights have much of an effect on battery life. Even if you disabled it, it wouldn't have much of an effect. Daniel will know how to do this more than I will.

Check your account settings and how often they're set. To sync, that's the biggest cause of battery drain, on any ROM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
They are the cause.

About Battery Use says display using more than 50% battery with brightness at like 8-15% brightness level set.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
Besides stock rom adjusted front lights with the keyboard so probably some logic behind not having then on constantly even when the button patterns are clearly visible in broad daylight.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
And on that note: Isn't it amazing what's been done with Java?

Who knew it would be the compiled bytecode language of choice for power limited devices?

; )
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Nop. About Battery Use shows me Display using 91% and even thought I have its brightness at 0.

Swyped from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Btw guys check this:

From the T-Mobile survey in MyAccount app.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
Temp workaround for the constantly lit front buttons:

Open terminal, and:

$ su
# cd /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/button-backlight
# echo "0" > brightness

Original value 255.

Gotta love Android. I wonder if I can script this...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] floy4life:
is this your lastest uild because i like the software it is just that when i had installed it b4 i was getting thephone storage notification and it was telling me that i was low on space can you help please email me at flboy4life561@gmail.com i would like to use this again if i can fix that issue
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
So no body noticed that USB debuging doesn't work on this rom? Or am I the only one with this issue?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Found out it is due to the new kernel.

Flashed Miguel's kernel into the new espresso rom and it also happened.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] samisosa:
Thanks!

Migueltherocker thank you for making a very good rom! I do not know whether you still are working or care about this rom but its the only one that I've liked so far! Anyway just wanted to thank you and hopefully inspire you to not let this die.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Triplesix6:
Love love love this rom. Wifi works. Google linking works. market works.

Landscape doesn't work on homescreen, and some pages. but when you need to use qwerty keyboard, landscape works.

5/5 i will be using this rom a lot. please keep it updated =] I especially love this rom because it has the new sense UI look. with the BIG phone button in the middle. much easier for me. I wish android phones had hard keys for call/hang up. its very hard to answer a call when you're half asleep trying to fumble around with sliding down and making sure you dont accidentally hang up!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Well I traded my slide for an HD2, it should be arriving tomorrow D:

However, if you guys like this ROM, I'd recommend trying the Salsa Slide ROM, as I don't think I can really keep this updated without a Slide in my possession.

I'll always have a soft spot for the slide, it was my first Android phone, and got me into the scene! I learned a lot with the slide. Porting, building kernels, etc. I grew really attached to the slide community and it's going to be odd without you guys haha.

I'll probably pop my head in here every once in a while and see what's up. Hopefully we all end up with the same phone one day and we can build ourselves another great community.

Thanks for using my ROMs, kernels, and themes! See you on the other side.

Miguel
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thegreenfamily04:
Aww... I haz a Tear :(

Thank you for all that you do Miguel! now i'll have to upgrade to a G2! lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Oh noez :(

But wait until June so you can grab the Sensation since HTC changed its bootloader policy ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Yeah, if the Sensation does get it's bootloader unlocked (I say if because I get the feeling that HTC's statement might apply only to it's future phones, starting with the next generation), then my love trip with the HD2 (IT'S SO BIG) might end earlier than expected :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
Bluetooth won't activate either. I scanned though the posts and didn't see that. Maybe it's included in the "Tidbits" category. Am awaiting bluetooth on 2.2. Microsoft Sync and a brand new Ford Focus and I have to settle for 2.1 to utilize the features.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] koolkidjay1321:
Also missing wallpapers just the one
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Fixed random little things, including keyboard lights. Uploading as I type.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
moi moi. Thanks so much. will be a wipe be necessary?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
If you're coming from another version of this ROM, nope.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
everything but the ? and the keyboard lights is functional.

edit: also having video and audio playback problems like that other dude mentioned.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Keyboard lights are NOT functional?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mstephens1984:
so is wifi fixed?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Sweet. I really would test and help but i have school in the morning and need a stable rom lol..I don't need bluetooth so you think wifi will be fixed and that sdcard nonsense will be fixed soon? if you could give a few little pointers id happily try to help :D just still trying to transition from my HTC dream.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
No, sir.

(comment to short, ignore this)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
Well the key mapping is slightly fixed but the period isn't working unless you hit space bar twice. Or the question mark. Wifi. Bluetooth. Still broken. Wallpapers still missing. Keyboard lights broken. Sdcard and headset+mic broken.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
OP please don't mind me posting this:

But uh whenever i reboot my phone i lose the root permissions to my phone.. when i first flash the ROM its fine and all that but once i turn it off and turn it back on.. SuperUser will FC whenever i try to go to it and i have absolutely no root permissions whatsoever.. if i try SU in the terminal it says permission denied.. fix_permissions everything says permission denied.. but it baffles me that it doesnt happen to my brother's Slide and we are running the exact same ROM. Can anyone help me out? P.s Running froyo ROM. yes i wiped and reflashed and it happened AGAIN..

Again, Sorry Op but this problem is driving me crazy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mstephens1984:
Thanks, will wait a little longer before flashing, sd and wifi are pretty important. and i have to have functionality for tomorrow. Thank you for all the hard work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
SU fuctional on mine
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
My period button works fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
I just noticed that my OC is still active. Is this built into the rom(question mark). Gonna experiment with the RW Overlay just for fun. Setcpu claims I am overclocked to 825.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
After reboot. (.) Works fine...sorry about the false info.

I noticed that the home screen doesn't auto rotate when keyboard opened.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
hey guys, dont know if you noticed (im pretty sure you did) while booting the animation shows this page called goapk.com... i was curious so i google it and found the forums and this ROMS for the aria that states sense/froyo 2.2.1 and a 2.32.21 kernel with wifi and everything working... soo.. why not look into it? here

wouldnt it be easier to port/modify to make work on the slide :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
:o interesting
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
yep, i think this is a really good source for the devs... is like a chinese xda forum xD
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
It probably will be, you're great for sharing it!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Why yes, yes it would. great find.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
Doing a fresh install of .84 i get massive force closes. (complete wipe before install of .80 Followed by flash of .84 without a reboot in between) Home screen never loads.

Installing original .80...allowing complete boot (confirmed with logcat). Followed by Original Post's steps. Power Off, followed by flashing update (.84) avoids this.

Android Commander does not see SDCard either, but does work for all over basic ADB actions.

Flashed "dopio" OC cm-2.6.29.6 v3.5 825 and all is well. Setcpu claims to be at 825/interactive

full r/w access via overlay filesystem (tested with Adfree) proves to be unsuccessful.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Keyboard lights work with autobrightness. Make sure you're in a dark room when you slide out your keyboard. I'll test that more today. What I worked on mainly was the keymapping, glad to hear I fixed most of it. What wallpapers are missing? On the homescreen, press menu, wallpapers htc wallpapers and they should all be there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I've been experimenting with different sources, including the Aria and Hero ports as well as the original leak. I'll have a better working release soon. The hard part is that none of these devices have keyboards.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
To the people wondering about the overclocking:

This rom uses the same kernel as the latest nightly, and as such, has overclocking enabled by default. You must install setcpu to control this. However, without sd card support, you'll have to do this through adb.

Also, I'm not trying to sound like a ****, and this isn't anything against any fo you guys that have helped me test (I really appreciate you guys doing that) but keep in mind, I do this for myself. I do not get paid for this. I do not charge for this. I can only fix issues when I have free time, and I don't have very much of it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
:thumbs up:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Zaiaku:
Tried it iut last night and it just did tons of fc's on me. And I did. Wipe before and after the install.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Rene-357:
thanks for your work miguel.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thegreenfamily04:
****. ;)

I will deffinately buy you a soda, Beer or maybe a shot of tequilla as soon as this is a functional rom, All of us appreciate what you and other dev's do for all of us. So Thanks !!

Troy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
I had the same problem a few times. Figured out I had to instal the old version...allow total reboot. Then update to .84
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
Bluetooth working?

Sent from my Rooted myTouch 3G Slide using the XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] koolkidjay1321:
From what i hear no bluetooth. Unless we get a source code for mytouch slide froyo (which currently isn't even looking like a possiblity for at least a couple months) expect all to have no bluetooth if they are 2.2
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thegreenfamily04:
We need the "Bluez" Source code to get bluetooth working.... and HTC probably won't release it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] :
I quote HWMNBN (that is not his real name but you would understand if you had been at the GSM section some time ago :p)

Hope it can help :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
MIRROR!!

HEY GUYS!! I have spent the last 4 hours of my life looking for this xD I tried to get the rom from that chinesse page but no luck (seems like you have to post at least a couple of times or be a couple of days old in the forum idk) soo i tried a f***ing load of chinesse pages untill i found this one with a direct link here CLICK ME!!! just scroll a little bit and click the download image... im downloading as I type but my internet is kinda messed up so its going to take at least an hour for me to try to flash this on my slide... so maybe someone is willing to try it first? or wait for me to post again :p im expecting no keyboard if i get it to boot haha

Oh and btw, as posted above this is already using the 2.6.32.21 kernel needed to use wifi and bluetooth is working as well... check this screenshots #1 #2 #3

I think that with this we are on our way to have this baby working in a couple of days, dont you think?? its basically a straight forward port from aria to slide :D:D

edit: there are other mirrors in the aria forum... didnt check there before T_T stupid me...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Zaiaku:
Where is the old version at? I really want to try this one out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
here it is man :D

http://www.mediafire.com/?9afcbal1dfcb8rp
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
news..

ok guys so i flashed the chinesse rom for the aria and it wouldnt boot so i figured it was kernel related since it was stuck at splash... soo i flashed the opio 3.5 kernel and it booted but same issues no bluetooth, no wifi, and no keyboard of course since its build for the aria... but there is sound, i can call and listen i have data and the wallpapers are there, there is even live wallpapers working and imo its super fast... maybe miguel wants to check on it and edit the boot.img to make it work?? :confused::D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I'll try my best to get on it tonight, but dude I'm completely exhausted and now I have to do schoolwork. I'll finish quick and get it done.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
I think (im kinda of a noob at deving) that you just have to change stuff in the boot.img just like you did with the other rom :confused: dont know just guessing here xD thanks for the effort bro, you are like the only hope for us the slide owners n_n

btw... is chiefz done deving for the slide? cant someone ask him for help here?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
In the boot.img all you really have to do is swap kernels, go in the init.rc and change some stuff, edit init.xxxx.rc and make it as similar as you can to init.latte.rc, edit the build.prop, and you'll have a booting ROM. It'll have a loooot of bugs, like mine does. This is where the hard part comes in.

Swapping out lib files, stuff in /system/bin, system/etc, /system/lib/modules, knowing what to swap, building, signing, finding more bugs, and starting over again.

The worst part is when you think you fixed something (wifi, last night ;) ) and then you build it, sign it, flash it, and it's still broken. Back to square one.

Chiefz is still here, but he's in love with his HD2 ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
thats what i tried to do this afternoon, changing file in lib and modules but just renaming files haha xD since i dont know how to edit boot.img (i can sign and repack and stuff) no luck of course... just one question... do you really have to swap kernels? i mean... isnt that the good thing on this rom? the 2.6.32 kernel on it with wifi and bluetooth working?:confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
This ROM has a 2.6.29 kernel. When you tried it with the kernel it came with, it didn't boot, right? And then after you flashed dopio 3.5, it did? Dopio is 2.6.29.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
yeah but thats why you have to edit boot.img... idk... you are the dev here xD try to make it work please :o
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Basically, to get a ROM to boot, all you have to do is swap the kernel for one that works with your device.

Everything else is just done to fix bugs.

<3 I've never been called a dev.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
so basically we are gonna have the same issues as before, just as it booted for me with dopio? no sd, no wifi, no bluetooth?? or you have something going on there?:p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
;) you gave me an idea. I think I can at least fix sound.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
damn.. still a no go for me, i need wifi at least... i can live with the rest of the issues... :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
do that and you've got yourself a beer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I'm 14, so I'll have a coke ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
Youngest dev i've met, hahaha.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I've always been computer savvy, but honestly you learn by doing. And then doing. And then doing it again and again and again until you get lucky and learn something.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
I'm a huge computer savvy as well, ever since i was like 11. I want to become a dev but I literally have no time...but now that i'm in the mood and have no homework, i shall play around with this ****. Dunno where to start though hahaha, time for google.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Good luck :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mymomma8:
Can Anyone confirm Flash player is working???
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
*Old man voice* You young whipper-snappers! Get off my lawn! LOL!

Seriously, that's awesome! I'd love to try this out when you get this working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Flash player isn't compiled for our processors.

Yet. ;)

Adobe is in love with Android now that it gave up on Apple, and they've been focusing on supporting as many devices as possible (as seen with Adobe Air 2.5)

I think they're definitely working on getting it to work on other processors.

btw: test ROM flashing now, attacking from a different angle.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
I think he was asking about the htc flash player plugin that comes with sense roms... that one works :p

and good luck with the new approach :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Whoareyou:
Well im 13 :)

Sent from my HTC Espresso, that is apperantly a failing device using the XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
That explains so much. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Zaiaku:
Anyone able to get LWP support on this one?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
LWP are working on the chinesse version... i think miguel is working on that one right now...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
The version I'm uploading right now has LWP working.

And....

Sound fixed!

Now you can make phone calls, etc. This is daily driver for me now.

However, you'll have to enter the APN settings for data manually because again, I was just testing to see if sound would work. Once you enter them you don't have to do it again, it's quite easy actually.

Here they are

Go to Menu, Settings, Wireless & Networks, Mobile Network, Access Point Names.

Then Menu, New APN and enter this:

Name: Whatever you want to call it

APN: epc.tmobile.com

The rests are blank (not set) until you get to MMSC.

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS proxy & port are <not set>

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN type: <not set>

Keyboard lights are being iffy, but I'll fix those in no time tomorrow or the day after.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
Great job bro, hopefully we can get someone to help on the wifi... ill try to search for some ideas that might work xD keep it up!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Thank you for the inspiration :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
Well done dude. Downloading right now.

EDIT:

Working:

-Live wallpapers INCLUDING weather animation! (Big ups for me)

-headset! Yay for music (Pandroa, till SD works)

-Phone calls(never letting go of this rom now)

-VIDEOS. no lag for streaming anymore.

What Doesn't Work:

-Question mark(no biggy, on screen one works fine)

-Wifi

-SDCard

EDIT EDIT:

Browser keeps closing when it tries to load htc website, how odd. Managed to stop it from loading and changed the home page, that seemed to fix it.

XDA app keeps restarting also >.>

You're doing great Miguel, keep up the amazing work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yonkersboy127:
GratiousSlide SD CARD !!!

I was wondering if the SC CARD problem was FIXED ????
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] uzi132:
Not yet, no.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crwhite2:
EDIT: I just realized someone has already touched on this. sorry for being a douche and not refreshing my browser :)

great rom. 2.2 with sense is sweet. one thing i've noticed...could just be me, but my browser isn't working. everytime I click on the browser icon it loads almost to 100% then just goes back to my home screen. random!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mr.johnsexydavis911:
It could be that the browser is crashing because of flash?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crwhite2:
uzi132 touched on this and said all we gotta do is change the homepage and that should fix it. I can confirm that has fixed mine.

keep up the good work!
