idk how much this will help Daniel, but:

To fix kb lights, you have to decompile framework-res.apk and add in the settings.

This is what Eugene told me, but I have no idea. I'm getting a G2 soon, but I'll always love the slide community and wish you guys the best!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
OK, so there is one con I can't live with, JAVASCRIPT DOESN'T WORK! AH!

I'm a dev and am willing to help fix this.... anyone have any ideas where to start looking????

P.S. I Have to use this rom, it kicks so much ass! Faster than CM6.1. I don't even use the hardware keyboard anymore due to the ? and SYM keys not working, doesn't even bother me the rom is so bad ass. But I must have javascript, I'm a web dev and need to test things on my phone. Someone point me in the right direction and I'll buy ya a beer :-D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thugamistic:
It Rocks and It Works!!!

Yes it does!!! Loving it even more now!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
That's already solved, just toggle with Backlight Off app
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
keyboards lights are useless to me without ? and SYM :(.... anyone know where to look to fix these? I want to help out with this as it's the most promising thing I've seen having Sense 2.2 for my Slide!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Thanks to those who answered my question. I didn't feel like quoting you all, but you are appreciated for the responses.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
I was just thinking... now that we have this can't we just rip out the Rosie parts and overlay them into CM6.1? We would loose the speed improvement this rom seems to have (maybe we can figure out where that improvement is coming from).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Nope, if it was that easy it would have been done already.

I can see you don't have much knowledge about Android and how it works, I recommend you read through the Chef Central and Android Development forums to get a basic understanding.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
I do absolutely have a clue about how android works, have made several projects, working on a big one now.

Fact is I don't have the TIME to invest for reading through a ton of freaking threads and documentation to gain the knowledge needed to fix the things WE need to fix.

My bad for hoping someone could give me some sort of jumping off point.

Threads these days always resort to someone dissing someone or telling them to RTFM. WHY BOTHER EVEN RESPONDING? Don't waste your time.

If someone DOES in fact want to give me a jumping off point I would much appreciate it. Otherwise I'll sit back and watch the thread as I have nothing else to say on the subject.

Thanks for the tip on reading those threads though ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Well I just flashed this ROM. This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Much kudos to everyone making it possible.

One thing I noticed, though.... It randomly does the "back" action on its own. I'll be in a menu and it cancels it after sometime. Why is that? It always goes to the previous screen. Not immediately, but sometimes it does if I have the right timing.

It just froze, but I restarted my phone. Going to see what happens.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I use LauncherPro and used OverClock Widget instead of SetCPU's widget, althought I have it installed and settings are On Demand and Max to 845.

For a while I decided to use SetCPU only, but I noticed that after a while it'll make LauncherPro freeze or stop working, so I changed back to Overclock Widget but left SetCPU settings. Now LauncherPro is working fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pglegend:
Why isn't this rom added to the rom bible?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
The OP of the ROM bible sold his slide and now has another phone, but he updates it occasionally.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Is there any way we can get the face buttons to light up?

The keyboard backlight Search+L feature is okay, I don't mind it. Not really useful when you're in the dark. Good thing there's an app for that! Possible to make it normal?

Is there a way to get the face buttons to light, though? I miss it.

I'm still sticking to this rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
Face button and the keyboard backlight face the same problem. As of now I found one way to fix the backlight/face buttons, but it is 1. unreliable+laggy and 2. takes a huge toll on performance.

Stay tuned though, I think this can eventually be fixed. Hopefully before official 2.2 comes out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Just how the fruit I am running out of internal memory!?

I have all my apps installed on the SD card, except for some widgets and LauncherPro. How did I go from 54 Mb to 17 Mb in about a week???

Is it that Titanium Backup lies and doesn't really installs 'em apps on the SD?

Of course after I wiped and flashed the rom, I had plenty of memory.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
With froyo a 2sd the entire app isn't on the sd card only some of it also dalvik cache is still on internal and its size is almost the same as the app so that's why memory is gone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
Try running a2sd cache2sd as root. I had the same issue. Only problem after running that command my phone will ALWAYS mount as a drive on my pc, even though charge only is chosen.

Hope this helps. :)

P.S. just an example, I have 280 apps according to Titanium Backup and still have 83.9 mb free internally (out of the original 152) whereas before running that command I was full around 200 apps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
Javascript has stopped crashing my browser after re-enabling it. Maybe that's the trick.... Hope this helps someone else.

Edit: Nevermind
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
That would be amazing!

Question, and I'm not blaming you or anything of that sort, but why is it a problem and a performance issue? I'm guessing it's a conflict between the coding hybrids.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
it is pretty much a script that check for horizontal/vertical orientation and screen on/off, and turn on/off the kb light/face light accordingly. However, the script will pretty much run once per second and two logcats at a time, hence making the phone sluggish/laggy.

It was a wip posted way back in G1 forum.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I use PdaNet, if I use this method then it won't let me use certain apps (on sd) because of the drive mounted.

:/ either I'd keep unplugging if I use an those apps and enjoy more than my actual 291 apps; or remain with limited app keeping but saving time from setting up a2sd.

That this situation kinda sucks donkey balls!

I wanted froyo mainly because of being able to move apps to sd without a partition. Now with a2sd, a partition is needed right?

If I'm going to use this rom with that a2sd and cache2sd, how would i do this the right way?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
Check out the a2ext thread on in this category of the forums. Install that package and follow the directions on the thread. This gives you TRUE apps2sd as we had in the older roms.

P.S. This assumes you have some prior knowledge, which I assumed due to you being able to install this rom. If you get lost PM me and I'd be glad to help you out :). Also I highly suggest using Titanium backup if you will be trying out roms. Just because not to restore some of the system settings or you'll have to start at square one!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
To the devs....

Seems that WebViewCoreThread is crashing when using "certain" types of js, cause jquery worked fine when viewing my site. Tried grabbing a working libwebcore.so, libc.so and libstdc++.so from another sense rom that claimed js was working...same errors resulted so I'm assuming the dump must not be showing me all the informatoin needed. I must be missing the true origin of the issue or I would think this would fix it, no?

No bashing please, just throwing out ideas trying to move this forward :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Thank you kindly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
Its a great rom, i loved the quadrant scores i was getting (mostly thanks to the OC though) and I was missing Sense. But the little bugs were getting to me, like the backlight and ? key. Also, my battery was atrocious with this rom, even with screen backlight all the way down and no keybd lights. I even turned the OC back to stock. Im going to have to head back over to CM for a bit.

Great work on this rom though! Will be checking the thread for updates
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
It's a kernel issue, I don't remember exactly what page, but either in this thread or the one for my ROM, someone posted a logcat of the kernel clearing caches a bit too quickly.

Even if it's not cache-related, the way we know HANDS DOWN that it's a kernel issue is because Aria users, who we ported from, had no issues using the stock froyo kernel that came with this build. However, when they switched to their CM kernel for OC purposes (which is built of 2.29, their eclair kernel, as is our CM kernel) they experienced the exact same issues we're having.

So unless another, better workaround is found, we're stuck until we get our Froyo OTA or we all get G2s.

Anyway, as I've explained
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Yea I'll try out out, big thanks fit the help :D

I guess apps2ext is something different from a2sd?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
Apps2ext is Froyo's version of the old Apps2sd, not this new rinky dink Froyo apps2sd that doesn't put everything we power users like to put on the sd card.

:)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
While searching the web I noticed some actual bug reports to Google about the issue. My site works and it contains javascript, google crashes, and engadget crashes. So it's not JUST the javascript causing it and it may be an ACTUAL bug??? :confused:

You mention a "BETTER" workaround, whats the workaround now? Turning off JS? that's not a work around that's just turning off features as they don't work. A work-a-round would be a way to actually get JS to work :)

Edit: Opera Mini seems to do ok on the pages that the default browser was crashing on, maybe someone can give that a try if they need js. Only problem here is there is no way to change user agent so pages default to mobile view :-\
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Google tends to talk about a lot of issues. Whether they fix them or not is a whole different story. More often than not, Google hopes that their so-called updates will fix them. And we all know how many updates we really receive.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Using Weather Bug app with ads, crashed; even after ads hack, still free version crashes, but with the paid version which doesn't have ads, it didn't crashed.

Could the issue in the web browser still be the ads? And not JavaScript? When is disabled, it might just close the entrance to persistent ads but not being the actual issue? I just say because, some apps have chinese ads and still load.

Emm, I'm not a dev, just want to give some opinion and observations.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Do you have the logcat?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
The issue is the browser crashing.

Disabling javascript is a way to "work around" the issue.

Hence, disabling javascript is considered a "workaround".

By better workaround, I mean one that still allows javascript to work, even though most users don't need it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
lol hope we're not quarreling about definition of a workaround.

anyways. it seems that the backlight can be fixed through framework-res. was lurking around hero/g2 touch and found that a flashable fix for backlights in fact just has a framework-res in there.

but.... i'm too lazy to examine the difference right now. =\ too bummed out to do anything

also, at this point i don't think button remapper will work (the one given in the few pages back)(but then again i haven't tried). Apparently the fix actually come from libui.so AND we can't modify that :\
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
I don't know, a LOT of websites these days have javascript. Going without it would break or severely hamper the browsing of a lot of sites. I ended up just using opera while I used this rom, but that wasn't the dealbreaker that pushed me back to cyanogenmod, the no automatic kb lights bundled with no ? or sym functionality bugged me a lot. Plus I just like aosp better in general, more familiar with it.

But yeah, anyway, the browser issue for a lot of people could actually be more major than you think. Another possible workaround, however, would be using a different browser like I did. What if the stock browser was put into this rom from froyo aosp? What would be so bad about that other than it being nonsense in a sensical rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
If only swapping browser is the solution :(

as miguel stated, the javascript issues actually arise from the kernel, which makes sense since this is a port from legend, who recently already got their 2.6.32 kernel while this rom uses 2.6.29 because we don't have an update
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
guys, i bring good news:

kb light and the front face light will be fixed in the next update. that means... no more search+L needed!

well if you wanna turn it off to save energy, you are still welcome to do the search+L to disable lol

EDIT: it is now live. I am currently too busy on other random things to test out. just keep in mind though, it will get you stuck at the htc screen for quite awhile during the setup. I don't know why lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] aklass:
lol I've been eyeing this rom for abit, and the next update might be the one i flash to now, granted the sym and ? keys still need to be fixed
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Thank you so much. I'm going to flash it now.

Also, I'm still on 4... any ideas why the Internet Browser keeps closing itself after a second? If I missed something in this thread, I apologize.

{edit} I guess I should note that it doesn't Force Close, it just exits (backs out) completely.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
did you disable javascript?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Has anyone flashed 5 yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
It's great! Runs just as smooth to me. Might be the best rom ever for MTS.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Nope. But isn't javascript essential? No point in browsing if I don't have it on :)

I'm trying Dolphin Browser again, seems to be working just fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Sweet! I'll flash it a little later. :]
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
It should work just like stock, just you have to stop loading the startup default htc.com page, just change it to google or whatever so it won't crash at startup.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] XiaoSiuMai:
Is a2ext included by default? Or do we gonna flash the package?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
nope. no a2ext by default. the modded bootimg is in a few pages back and you can just flash the package.

some ppl did say, though, that it's not working? dunno. haven't tried because I am just constantly wiping and re-flashing because I'm trying to fix and test the bugs.

also, I tried to come up with a workaround with the ?/sym key. no luck. And I got finals coming up so next few updates will either be small or won't come in frequently. sorry guys.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] XiaoSiuMai:
can someone confirm if a2ext cache2ext is working with flashing the package?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Really? I go to google in desktop version and it loads alright, on mobile version it usually crashes, I'm able to visit most of the web pages without crashing, I'm currently on 0.30 still.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Yeah I'm not sure what it is. Must be javascript?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] XiaoSiuMai:
to enable a2ext i have to take the boot.img (.40 boot.img works for .50?) and replace it from inside the zip then flash it right?

HI All,

OK.. so I've wiped my phone (previously had 3rdsense 0.30) and installed 0.50 - after that I go to marketplace and download Titanium. It says installed but I cant find it anywhere..?! Ive looked under apps and everywhere...Am i missing something here..? I even tried to revert back to 0.30 and the same prob...!! Please help..!

Thanks

Update...

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] F0rgiven:
The ROM is suuuuuuper quick and smooth. The fact that the browser is having issues is nearly a deal breaker for me. I will try it a bit more with java disabled, but i think it will end up bugging me too much and I'll end up going back to CyanogenMod 6.1 :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
going to attempt something that might fix browser crash. but, not promising anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
There's an actual MyTouchSlide wireless tether app here in the forums. Downloaded it this afternoon, and I'm getting AMAZING quality.

Yup, the file at the top of the thread I just linked you is what I'm now using. Download it, and install using a File Manager.

I get 3G for my data reception, but sometimes it'll show up as H. Is this the higher speed and am I getting charged for it?

And since this is Rosie, is the Espresso bubble theme out of the question? Just curious and don't wanna put that on daniel (or another dev), cuz if it's possible then I might come up with something for my personal taste.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
I'm actually not sure of what the "bubble theme" is. What is it again?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Bubble theme is stock espresso
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
maybe. when I got the time.

But I really would like to make this fully functional first before I think about theming it.

But then again, as for now I really don't know what can honestly be done for the ? and sym button, or the java fc issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Theming isn't really that important. Acejoker can do that--he almost did it with a CM rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Obsidian777:
I was using team fenix for a while, but had some problems with messaging apps fc's. I don't have a single problem with this rom. Thanks a ton.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
True.

I can do without the bubble, it's just I miss the app drawer button to be transparent and not big. This is the first I've used this kind, though. I like it, but it's bulky.

I could use ADW or LauncherPro, but that defeats the purpose.

So anyone know about the 3G to H? Does it charge you when the data switches to H on its own?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Ever since I've flashed a rom of froyo and sense I've always get that H, (HSDPA) High-Speed Downlink Packet Access

is an exchanced 3G,

4G is HSDPA+

I don't get the 3G sign no more, instead the H.

You should not get charged if you have an unlimited data plan.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
It's a kernel issue--Cyan0gen mentioned it a while ago. The kernel is changing radios to get the best reception. You will not be charged for any changes in connection.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Thanks, you guys.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
It doesn't entirely defeat the purpose. I am currently using CR_mod, with launcher pro. The 2d effects in launcher pro are way faster. It doesn't defeat the purpose of using the sense rom though, since it has other HTC features than JUST the launcher. I like the facebook/twitter contact sync. It's a slick interface for connecting contacts to facebook especially. It also is the only one with Tmo contact sync. The 2d effects in sense roms are also higher quality, more frames, as opposed to AOSP based roms. I also get double the battery life using dumfuq's cmkernel 4.0 with CR_mod. ~20-25 hours.

There are tons of things different other than the launcher between AOSP and sense, I find the sense roms perform better, especially when overclocked. Try out using ADW or LauncherPRO on a sense rom, you might actually like it. I love it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
You basically restated my Sense opinions. I applaud you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
It acts like a different Home. Popup menus and options act different. It's slick, but I can do without it. It's the main reason why I never left CR_Mod for Nightly's or CM. I admire what they've done, but some features for me, are lost.

It reminds me of when I had my G1. I loved that thing, but Espresso was fresh.

Also, doesn't HSDPA cost more?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
I have a few questions for you:

1.) Does your slide have a data plan from T-Mobile?

[if no]

2.) Who provides your data plan?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Well yeah I got a data plan (unlimited), but I figured that only applied to anything up to 3G, not greater. I know only some newer phones now support HSDPA, but I thought it still costed more. Does it?
