I noticed something, using LauncherPro and it has this "Activities" option when adding shortcuts.

You can add a shortcut of a setting, so I saw this one it sais "Display Resolution", I selected it, and added it as shortcut and unlike other random ones, it launched, it showed the options: Automatic, 720p and 480p, automatic was selected, I selected 740p but nothing changed, althought when I opened the shortcut again the setting saved.

On Settings I never noticed such a thing. What is this that was hidden or I just don't know where is it on Settings. :S

after installing the rom, the /data/dalvik-cache exist after opening the browser it its deleted. any one know why?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
There's suppose to be one on data, unless you make a script to move it to sdcard instead.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] koolkidjay1321:
if u flash the room in then type mkdir /data/dalvik-cache in adb it will tell u it already exist. then if u boot up and go to the browser let it crash go back to recovery n type mkdir /data/dalvik-cache it tells creates it...u could repeat several times n same result
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] craig.pulliam:
is usb tether broken as well? honestly not too sure how to get it running in the first place. tried to use htc sync but that doesnt seem to be it. I have a couple tethering apps installed but I'd like to use the native HTC one if possible to save on the already slim memory. Nice rom btw. This is now my daily after moving from galaxyslide. After the wifi is working this will probably be my permanent solution so thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] izzy001:
ok some one mirror the rom... mediafire hates me...lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I'm not sure if it's against the rules, oh well, here you go, sir:

Help please, I tried to make a Nandroid backup of this rom, and it did successfully, but now SuperUser Permissions app force closes, what can I do to fix this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
rom manager > fix permissions
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
The problem was I couldn't run any app which required SuperUser Permissions, so I couln't even open Rom Manager to do that. But I went to Manager Applications and Cleared Data, it's fixed now. Thanks for reply tho :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
Any news on this rom? I spent half of my shift at work reading through all 47 pages. I'm pretty excited to try this rom out. Can you impliment HTC_IME in there, I can't live without the HTC keyboard. I can't stand Swype and the stock android KB. If you could, would you mind testing HTC_IME to see if it works with Froyo because every version of HTC_IME that I've tried when I was using CM6 never worked, they would install fine, but once you went to use it, it would never open.

Keep up the good work man. Sounds like this Rom my be my perm rom if you get the bugs worked out. Only thing I want is App2SD. I bought a 8GB SdCard for that reason. lol

EDIT: Flashing right now. Lol kinda crazy that I'm flashing it now considering I only have 40 minutes of work left..lol So I can't mess with my phone while I'm driving, but hopefully all goes well before I leave work. I would REALLY love to try this ROM out.

Edit1: Ok. So right now I'm going to tell you one thing. IM IN LOVE WITH THIS ROM!! It's blazing fast! Only thing is I'm having a few problems trying to sign into my google account. Might just be really bad reception at work. Great work on this rom man. It's amazing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
I couldn't agree more. And I already know the known issues will soon get fixed. For now this is suitable for a daily. It's going to be my new daily as we are speaking. It's up and running and its running beautifully.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Yeah man, Move Apps to SD works, it's Froyo, but there are apps that won't move, but Titanium Backup let's you to do those, install and open Titanium Backup, just long press on an app and select move to SD card, some apps like LauncherPro are better on the internal memory, even some widgets might dissapear after rebooting, but don't worry just move them in settings back to internal.

In order to connect to network you need to put the APN settings, which are in Miguel's first post, after that, you can sign in your Google account, so you better write those settings on a paper :P

GratiousSlide Rocks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] izzy001:
thanks i will download now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
No doubt. I seen that I had like one app that was able to be moved to SD. I think xda installed to SD as well. I had CM6 for a couple days..But the camera and camcorder were a total buzz kill for me. But I did like the App2SD. But I ran outta memory on my 2GB card.. I didn't buy my phone new from the store, it was an upgrade from a Behold II, which I couldn't get rooted. The Slide rooted first try, no problem.

I already knew about the APN settings, that was the first thing I did.

:D

What is the GOAPK app for? in chinese... Maybe you should see about removing that, maybe its got some sort of bug that isn't allowing something in the kernel to load right.... I don't know just a thought. You are beast bro, I wanna go back, but I'm SOOOOO in love with this rom.... keep it up bro.

PS: Can you add something to allow the phone to wake up with the trackpad? I really miss that and dont' really want to wear out my menu button..Or my power button.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
So. Xda is running flawlessly on this Rom for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Yeah and any app in this rom is ad-free :D

Swype 2.4 HVGA should come pre-installed
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Swype apk is considered warez, so Miguel can't exactly put Swype on it without braking a ton of rules. You can find the apk somewhere online though. TONS of filesharing websites have em.

EDIT: Google Search SWYPE HVGA 2.10. Easy as that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
Yeah. But I don't like the swype keyboard. I like the good old IME keyboard.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Isn't the HTC ime keyboard already in this rom though? It is a sense rom
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
Yeah it's already in it. Which made me UBER happy.. Lol that keyboard is a deal breaker for me. It had it, made me fall in love with the Rom more. And the Camera..omg.. I just wish he had help to get the prox. sensor working and wifi..don't really care much about BT.. Would still like to see an option to make the trackball wake phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
I agree, the camera is the tits, isn't it? I'm waiting for certain things to work before flashing this again...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Not really, there are some which are expired beta demos, outdated, or not compatible, one has to know it must be HVGA.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
So day two of running this sweet ass Rom. Battery actually lasts longer than 15 hours. That's with light to moderate usage. Loving this Rom though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
I have tried sending a picture through mms and i couldn't do it i don't know if I miss something, but I couldn't do it.

Anyone else?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Check your APN types. Make sure you have everything typed in there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
I will recheck the apn settings again, thanks for the response. Is this ROM better than nightlys? I have been using the nightly since they started, but this ROM is fast and the Camera works better and faster than the camera on the nightlys.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
1d 5hrs 39minutes of off the charger time. That's also with slightly heavier use. Couple 20 minute long gps sessions. Sweet Rom man keep up the good work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratspider230:
I'm sure most of you know by now, but if not TMoNews and Androidspin confirmed Froyo "very soon" for our Slides. They haven't forgotten about us! Oh how awesome the roms will be once its released, I had this rom for a while and it was fantastic, my only gripe is that some data from my games I played wouldn't transfer over, even with Titanium, but I digress. FROYO IS ON THE WAY!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Thats great news. Froyo finally! we will be up to date!!

But wait..Too bad Android 2.3 Will be released in a few weeks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratspider230:
Well its better than 2.1 so I don't care haha, at least it better be
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
"Very soon." That's been said since the slide was released. Nevertheless, one can always hope.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Also was released in latest HTC news letter if anyone gets that
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratspider230:
I'm hopin very soon means by the end of the year, personally
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
hi miguel,

I am kind of a noob to android and have been flashing all this great ROMs including the nightlys. My question is is the liberated ROM better than this ROM? I know that there is a version difference, but 2.1 liberated feel faster to me.

Is that correct?

I am in the process of learning how to create ROMs and I have ways to go before my first.

But this is inpiring
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I personally prefer Gratious, but Liberated has fewer issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I have the same issue even though I have the settings given by Miguel, the error while trying to send an MMS it's "Generic Network Failure" even with the expanded settings at LiberatedSlide thread. :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ProjektStreet:
I'm still in love with this Rom. But am about to go back to stock because if some usability errors such as landscape, proximity sensor, and WiFi and blue tooth not working. I love this Rom and can only hope it goes really far. But as for now I need more usability. Keep up the great work miguel
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
Thanks for your response Miguel, is really appreciated. However this is well underway to being a good ROM. However because of some of the daily usage I need I will stick with the nightlys until this ROM has been iron out of the residual bugs.

Keep the good work coming, is really appreciate
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Well I don't have my laptop with me, so there's not really much I can do for now, and on top of that I have either a varsity wrestling match tomorrow, or two JV matches friday and saturday so I'm pretty busy. If I were you guys I'd flash 3rdSense for now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
I appreciate your suggestions. Can you briefly tell what is new in that ROM?

I appreciate your work and understand you have a live besides coding
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
:) Thank you.

3rdSense has working wifi, it's what I'm going to be running starting tonight. I think it also has working proximity sensors but I'm not completely sure on that one. Either way, it also has my adblocking fix as well as the system r/w patch already applied.

Also, kb lights are semi-fixed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
I want to thank you for your responses I know your very busy and I don't want to take to much of your time. My coding experience is minimal, but I really want to learn as much as possible about the Android development tutorial as I really want to gain the experince of Android coding.

Do you have any suggestions or examples that you can share? If not I understand and will give it my best to try it any ways.

I love the open source
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Sense is closed source :(

It depends what you want to do, make apps and stuff like that, or kernels and more system work?

For apps, learn java. For kernels, learn C.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
Thanks for the correction, I have some experience with C none with java. I am in the middle of tutorials right now.

Miguel, I appreciate your input on this subject even know is away from the ROM subject.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Fixed pretty much everything, even the FC issues.

The ONLY thing left to fix is ? and sym keys. It will be hard without source, but I'll try.

Uploading now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
you the man, miguel! :)

now my 3rdsense is pretty much useless :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
GratiousSlide would have been useless without 3rdSense :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Appreciate both of you guys' work. It's great to have.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
You mean you have fixed the JavaScript issue??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Yes sir.

Javescript on, off, adblock, no adblock, that whole issue is gone.

Edit: Just to be clear, Daniel60104 deserves just as much credit as I do on this whole Froyo Sense movement. Though I posted the first ROM, if it wasn't for Daniel, we wouldn't have working kb lights, front lights, wifi, etc.

So please, before you thank me, thank him for keeping this alive while I was too busy to work on anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
OF COURSE!!

Ever since both of you released even your first versions of your Roms, it was a SUCCESS from the very first one, and beyond.

You and Daniel are the ones who have brought Froyo and Sense together to our Slide!

Both of you have made more than what T-mobile or HTC could have thought!

Thank You so much to keep alive the Espresso Slide development!

We, the rest of the comunity are very thankful.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pagantek:
Good day,

Did you get anywhere with the ? and sym keys?... ah, frak it. Im' going to try it anyway, i just did a nandroid of 3rdsense this morning to test CM7.

Thanks for all that you both do. Mad respect :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
To fix ? and sym keys, we have to mess with libui, but the libui in sense is closed source and the one from CM doesn't work...

So basically we have to see the hexadecimal differences between 2.1 espresso libui and CM6 libui, and make changes to 2.2 sense libui accordingly, but not only is that painstakingly hard and time consuming, its also not guaranteed to work...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
So I guess we'd have to wait until we get our official 2.2 then?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Yeah, if we get it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
By the way, my donate link is fixed. You can help me by new wrestling shoes.

Or donate to Daniel60104, if you so wish.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
I'm not reading what you said, I don't care what you have to say. But I'll donate.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Can I ask, how long is it supposed to take to boot on first time? Because I can't pass the t-mo splash screen, I tried the adb commands already but I get "no such file or directory" when I try the command for 4kb block size...

:/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
one word: ew.

but all in all, I will help in that effort.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I really have no idea about the whole data2ext thing, I'm assuming that's what you're asking about. If you're not using data2ext, you just have to wipe and flash.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Well I... didn't express it like that =.= , I do have some idea lol

I tried with wipe and flash already

I have a2ext running, maybe I have to dissable it first and then flash?

Edit: fixed, some freaking extra character in the command was messing me up... Sorry for the bother.

Working great now :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pglegend:
I'm having problems with the browser closing...? Any solutions...? I downloaded apps in the market and same issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Sure you're using the latest version? Have you tried nandroiding, wiping, flashing, and seeing if it works?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Gingerbread is already out and in mere months Honeycomb will fully surface, yet MTS users still don't get Froyo. It's ridiculous and just recently I stopped caring. I couldn't care less if we get an official Froyo (even though it would help devs).

When Froyo was the latest, I was satisfied with Espresso. Now Gingerbread has been out and I'm using Froyo, but would still like a fully functionable Gingerbread. Having said that, Honeycomb will be soon and despite being official, Froyo would be outdated to me (not that I would mind still using it, it's still good).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] djmikePeEezy:
I love this rom but I get FC when I run the wireless tether app. Anyone experiencing this same issue?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
yea me too

Portable WiFi HotSpot turns on, but it's settings force close.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pglegend:
It's a money thing...the cellular providers wants us to buy the latest phones, so they refuse to update the older models. But...with the developers here, it's possible to make even better roms!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I figured out why you go back home after unlocking the screen, that's because of the usage of a lot of ram, or not using a task manager.

Install one, kill unnecessary apps and that's it, unlocking wont kick you back to home screen :P

Swyped from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
hey miguel, by any chance, do you have your previous versions' dl link available?

I wanna look at it again and maybe we can figure out the rotation on homescreen settings...

(if I'm not mistaken, your previous version DOES have it, correct?)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
All my stuff is on my mediafire, GratiousSlide is specifically at

http://www.mediafire.com/GratiousSlide

But I don't think homescreen autorotation works. I can work on it, though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kevinlovechina:
WIFI & FM

can't search for the wifi signal(nokia 5800 works well).

besides, can't search for any radio channel though the earphones are plugged in.

in general, the rom is a pretty good one. Nice job!:)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DrakenFX:
great job Miguel love this ROM.....

my only problem is when you have hotspot active i can't configure any settings cuz always FC..any one having this issue? other than that ill be using this as a daily driver
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I do notice sone lag, not big but notable, probably due to data2ext while my sd-card is the one that came with the phone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
so i recently rooted my slide and flashed cyanogen 6.1.1 and was loving it for a while until wifi stopped working.

so i decided to switch to a different ROM after realizing all i really wanted out of rooting my phone was apps2sd.

so i did a nandroid backup and wiped (at least i think it was a full wipe) and put gratiousslide 1.0 on there. i also reinstalled the radio updates, the 1/15/11 gapps version, and the apps2sd thing that was in the 3rdsense thread before booting up normally.

setup was kinda weird so i went back and flashed the slightly older gapps zip and then it worked fine. wifi is working again!

now my only deal is...i'm running out of phone memory after installing just a few apps: facebook, gmail, google voice, handcent, maps, dolphin hd, pandora, setcpu, swype installer (not enough space to download/install beta!). after trying to move everything i can to the sd, this leaves me with only 10.12mb free!

do i need to repartition my sd card so that i can install all my apps on there? or is there a way to force installing to the sd card as it is? on cm 6.1.1 i was able to force installing everything to the sd and was wondering if i could do the same on this rom.

i need swype and i also use my phone at work to QA test an app which i can't install without removing more essential apps.

any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

EDIT:

ok so i wiped and reflashed the rom and now i have 66mb free again, haha.

i guess my problem was using the gapps zip which was unnecessary. have my gapps, launcherpro, titanium backup on there so far and am down to 23mb. hopefully i can get swype on there at the very least. will start looking into the data2ext stuff
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pglegend:
You need to surf the forum for dark tremor zip file for a2sd it works with almost every rom! follow the steps and you're good. I have it with this rom now...with 116 apps installed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Apps2sd will slow your phone down a bit. Try it out and see if you can deal with it.

Our phone doesn't have the hardware for FM radio, I just never got around to deleting that apk haha.

You don't need to flash gapps on top of this.

If you're having tethering issues, try using a tether app that ISN'T the HTC one, such as Wireless tether.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
thanks, is it the one titled

dtapps2sd-2.7.5-final-adv-signed.zip ?

i guess i need to backup, free up space (512mb should be ok for ext right?), then repartition my sd card...blah
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
I guess it's that one, I don't really use apps2ext haha, but 512mb is more than enough
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
thanks for the help, i think my best bet is to install apps to ext. somehow i was able to force everything onto the sd card on cyanogen and all was well but perhaps installing the apps to ext would be a better solution.

also, that comment about the FM radio brings up another question not specific to your rom, but..

how do i go about deleting preinstalled apps? (don't need any twitter apps, and probably not footprints)

and also do i need s-off to be able to run commands from a terminal emulator of some sort? i saw this app when i had cyanogen but never used it. seems like i need to run commands for moving stuff to the ext partition from a pc or from the terminal
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
If you have S-Off, you can go into terminal emulator, and type:

su
cd /system/app
rm -f nameofapk.apk

to delete apps. If you're S-On, reboot into recovery, connect your phone to your computer, select "Partitions", "Mount /system".

Then run adb shell, and use the above commands.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Dang! The lag is too annoying!

Gonna dissable data2ext I'll see if I can use a2ext instead. Because even there is less internal free memory using a2ext -but still good enough- the lag using data2ext is just too annoying slow.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
I used a2sd for awhile on espresso, I didn't notice a speed difference. It affected battery life somewhat though. Not too harshly. Data2ext will really only work on a class 6 or higher sd card, speed is too slow on cards like my dinky 2gb class 2 :P

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I don't know if mine is a class 6, its the one that came with the phone and it has 8Gbs, my Ext partition was 600mb maybe it wasn't enough for data2ext.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
The one that comes with the phone is class 2
