thnx alot man. the data2ext didnt work for me. it said something about it being in use by the system already or something lik that. but the a2sd worked pretty good. thnx i went from 51mb to 130mb. thats awesome
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
there should've been. SOMETIMES the backlight off app might interfere (since I threw it in there so some people can save the battery) with it, but overall, it should be fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] vsguru:
Daniel, awesome ROM! Really smooth and an easy daily. Couple of questions. Display backlight fades in & out, while typing text. Also A2SD caused some fc's including Superuser. I had just repartitioned and formatted the SD card. Reflashed and without A2SD no issues. The script worked 'cause my internal free ram went way up. Any ideas that might help?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
i've found a rom i can stick with as long as everything continues to work as smoothly!

all i've really wanted out of my mytouch slide is more space for apps which is why i'd been hoping for froyo. since there had not been any news of it coming out any time soon, i decided to back everything up and root so i can try out CM 6.1.1.

weeks later the wifi goes out so i decided to try some stock sense roms to keep it simple (launcherpro wasn't working right on CM). first i tried miguel's gratiousslide and it was awesome, but i couldn't get a2sd working and then my accounts stopped syncing. and then i saw that 3rdsense was just updated so i tried it next.

i backed up my sd card and used rom manager to make a 256mb ext partition and 32mb swap but couldn't figure out how to get my apps to the ext partition. after finally reading the last page of this thread last night, i finally cleared up all that space and now everything's working perfectly so far with about 100mb free!

only question is, is the ext partition being used? i used Tzatlacael's a2ext directions just a few posts back but i don't fully understand what the script does.

great rom, daniel! and thanks to all contributors!

EDIT:

one more issue i ran into but not such a big deal since i found a workaround:

i'm in the swype beta and have installed the full 10mb version. after restarting the phone, swype refuses to recognize my inputs. an uninstall/reinstall works, but my current workaround is to select touch input then switch back to swype in order for it to start working again. might be missing steps but that's the gist of it...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
The credits go to Acejocker for a2ext, and for Data2Ext credits go to Daniel...

I just wanted to gather the commands so anyone who might want them, since a2ext commands were only posted once and now is way behing the treads, it should be put in the first by the OP, people could need it.

The script you are talking about, those commands are to enable a2Ext (a2sd on commands)

Yes! The Ext partition should be being used!!!

I forgot to mention!

Before using those commands to enable a2ext, you need to flash a enabling package, so I'm guessing you read a couple previous posts and found that out, the package is on the first post.

About, Swype, yes after a Re-start, Swype gets unchecked, you don't need to reinstall, just go to Settings > Language and Keyboard and select Swype, go back to where you were typing and you'll be able to select Swype from Imput Methods.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
Thanks for all the info! Yes I did install dark tremor's latest a2sd beta first before using the commands in terminal.

One other thing is that after a restart swype is still checked and it traces my lines but doesn't enter anything into the text box.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
O yes, that seems to be a bug from Swype itself, just switch input methods to Touch Input, and switch back to Swype, it'll work.

Another bug, sometimes it uses Capitalized words by itself.

But that's Swype business, not a bug from this rom.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
ok cool, just thought i'd ask since i wasn't sure if it was a problem due to swype itself or if it had something to do with where it was installed.

with a2ext is there a way to force swype and maybe launcher pro to be on phone memory so that it will load quicker and possibly solve the swype issue?

also is it safe to use disk drive mode when my phone is connected to a pc? i wouldn't use it while plugged in, but would still like to receive phone calls while the sd card is unmounted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kemberdog:
hi i really enjoy this rom its just i just recently bought a class 6 card just for the data2ext feature although everytime i activate it EVERYTHING lags and runs slow and sticks and i was just wondering did i do anything wrong. my partition size is one gb
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Yes its safe, the ext partition is entirely separate, and it will stay mounted. When your phone says the sd card will be unmounted, what its really doing is unmounting /sdcard, not the physical card. /sd-ext and /data/app stay mounted, since it's a separate partition

Wow, I tried this ROM and realize that it's even better than the leaked stock. Thanks a bunch to the guys who build it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
thanks, that's good to know.

i hate to keep asking questions about a2ext but i'm starting to run out of space on the ext partition (at least i think i am, apps were refusing to install until i "moved" some apps to the sd card). i made the mistake of making my ext partition only 256mb... if i can backup the entire sd card and all partitions, can i safely reformat with 512mb ext partition and move everything back without any trouble when i start the phone back up? everything's running smooth and just the way i like it, don't wanna have to do it all over again with a reflash of the rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Make an nandroid backup and a backup of your sd, after resizing you may need to reformat Fat32 where your stuff is.

then I ain't sure to suggest you to, grow your ext partition, (mine is 600mb btw) and then restore nandroid backup...

But it'll be safer for you to use Titanium Backup, grow ext, and start ending with a fresh flash then restore your apps after all.

Lol wrong thread sorry :B
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mymomma8:
Does this rom support an ext3 or ext4 partition?? or strictly just ext2???
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Mine's ruining on ext3, seems like ext4 doesn't work for it...

Quickly Swyped from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
it has been reported that ext3 does work, but ext4 i'm pretty sure will not (as far as data2ext is concerned)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
How about a2ext, does it support ext4?

I was going to try but clockwork wouldn't mount it, and I didn't want to lose a2ext if it didn't worked, but I know there is a command to convert from ext2 to ext3 and to ext4.... actually I might try that, but I want to make sure first. Does a2ext from DarkTremor a2ext package support ext4?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Markus214:
I had setup data2ext and i enabled it just fine followed all steps but when i looked still same storage. I checked it in terminal and it says its enabled but not active? Im thinking maybe my sdext wasnt mounted?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] monkeybone12:
Sweet rom! Worked like a charm on my buds expresso.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
This is the smoothest, fastest rom I've ever tried (I've tried every rom including cm7 and nbmod), I think ill be sticking to this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lebmb:
hey everyone, been thinkin about pickin up a mytouch slide and was checkin out the roms, this looks like the most promising as i love sense but hate the espresso. any updates for this rom it did the dev stop?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
He just updated it a month ago?

Also, did he fix the autobrightness/auto kb lights?

I remember you had to use search+l to activate them before, do you still have to?

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
kb lights were fixed.

and nope you don't have to. search + l is still there for people who want to conserve battery to force them off.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
really? i've been thinking about trying nb_mod to get 2.2.1 just for proper push notifications in fb since i'm planning on repartitioning my sd card for more ext space anyway, but if i have to take a hit in performance i might not...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
I'm really enjoying Sense without espresso. It's refreshing. This is a great rom and I hope that long term support continues for it.

Good work!

:)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cdsbj6508:
Could someone please give step by by on how to enable data2ext. I've read the entire thread and enabling it through terminal but I keep getting data2ext not found. I would try adb but I really don't know how.

Thanks-
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
I manually added a 512mb ext2 partition to my sdcard.

I flashed dt's apps2sd file from the first post.

Titanium backup is indeed reporting and a2sd partition but it's half the size I made it and it says it's almost full....what did I do wrong?

UPDATE: I repartitioned using ROM manager and all is well.

:)

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
im having a major problem with this rom now. sometimes when my phone boots up, I get tons of force closes to the point where I cant access anything. I will post screenshots when I can.

Edit: I believe this is caused by the data2ext mod

Any help would be appreciated because I love this rom and data2ext mod
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Do you have a Class 6 card? cause i have the same issues, so i just ordered a new faster card as mine is rather old.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
No I have a class 4 sd card, I read on the other forums that its the minimum requirement 4 data2ext so I assumed it'd be fine. Plus I'm not experiencing lag
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Mmmm... my only other suggestion, is maybe using the ROM Manager's Fix Permissions option, it solved several FC's on my phone...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Actually running fix permissions only makes it worse. After running it I reboot my phone. Then when my phone finally boots, it shows a bunch of FC errors and I can't use the phone, so I end up having to nandroid restore everytime
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Maybe the OP will know how to handle it, those are the two things i've done to stop the FC's from happening on my phone :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Yea hopefully, this rom Is just awesome if only it didn't hav those fc problems :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
So what's next for this awesome ROM?

Upgrade to 2.2.1? I am enjoying the heck outta this rom for sure.

:)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Any of the newly released Aria code helpful?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
Please tell me this rom will continue to evolve. I'm addicted to it now. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Btw data2ext works fine with no crashing and FC on cm7, so I don't understand why it does that on this rom, I guess until this problem is fixed ill be sticking to cm7 nightlies
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Just do a full wipe and install 3rd Sense as a fresh new ROM. Then do the data2ext mod and see if you get all the FC's again. Could be something on your part.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Better yet! The Wildfire S rom dump with 2.3.2 and Sense 2.1 is out!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
I sure hope it has the landscape sense homescreen haha
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
Think it'll get ported? I hope to God it does!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
You and me both! yaaa hooo!! :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] trock62:
Just installed and all went perfectly. Install the rom then booted in and setup with 60 plus apps, and had the low on space. Flashed dtapps2sd-2.7.5-final-adv-signed and booted and still had almost no space. In terminal typed a2sd cachesd and phone rebooted. After that I had 107 megs free and phone seems very responsive. Gave me flashbacks of installing on my Nexus 1. Daughter loves her Mytouch slide. Thanks for the fantastic Sense rom.:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
Checked it out a bit. Doesn't look like the leak is worth porting since the 1. It's not very complete 2. has watermark all over and 3. Wildfire S comes out preetty soon lol.

Gonna include wifi calling and the wifi router in the next update, along w/ an update for the data2ext script.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Thanks for checkin! Can't wait for what you come up with. Keep up the great work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
Awesome! Can't wait. Thanks for checking in Daniel!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
I'm having a VERY weird issue recently, at first i thought it was due to the Class 2 card i have, so i purchased a 16gb Class 6 and confirmed it's speed on the PC. I Wiped the phone and did everything from scratch, everything was working perfect so i decided to do a Nandroid Backup.

Nandroid Backup completed, and system booted up.

Then when i was looking at the games, about 7 games lost their icon and appeared as if they were not even installed.(eg. Angry Birds/Seasons, Glow Hockey, Pinball Deluxe, aTild 3D and others) and some of the updates on the system apps appeared back in the old revisions.

So i restored the Nandroid i did, and the result was still the same :eek:

Basically, even when restoring those apps using Titanium Backup, it all works as long as i don't boot the phone. Once i do, it's back to the same way :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
@Sefy sounds like something didn't get wiped properly....what recovery are you using?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Even without Recovery it happens, i just verified it.

I wiped the whole thing, reflashed the rom (using latest Rom Manager).

enabled Data2Ext and rebooted.

Then started installing the applications using Titanium Backup, and again everything works great right upto a reboot. Then all the updates are "rolled back" (like maps/adobe and a few others) and the games appear as not installed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
What happens if you wait to enable data2ext after you install your apps with Titanium backup?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
As there is only 60mb free space on this rom, and i'd need to first install a Terminal and a File Manager and then Titanium Backup (why wasn't a Terminal or ES File Manager included is beyond me! :rolleyes:), and after Angry Birds/Seasons, there just wouldn't be any space left on the phone :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
I have tried all of the ROMs for my Espresso and this one is the best IMHO.

It's my favorite for sure.

Any updates on it's future daniel?

Thanks for making this ROM btw.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
did you wipe your sd-ext before flashing this the last time?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sefy:
Yes, i have done a full wipe before i re-installed. Its becoming rather annoying as i was out of battery and had to restore settings and spps again :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Rudy956:
Just finished installing this rom on my wifes phone and I have to say it is awesome! Thanks for the rom!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Any word on the update? I really want to go to sense for a while
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jamal717:
Agreed......
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
wait, so if i flash this rom, i can enable data2ext without having s-off? or do i still need to do s-off before i can enable data2ext?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
No need for s-off to do it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
YES! this is the only way i can get data2ext then. at least i still have the option.:)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RollerCoasting:
This didn't flash correctly for me. It wiped out everything and I had to go into ADB to restore the recovery. Not sure what happened.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
what do you mean? you're supposed to do a full swipe to clear all the data and then flash the new ROM, so you will have to recover everything through titanium backup or something like that (Google should recover your contacts and some of your apps automatically, but not the app's saved data).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueXdaNoob:

Does anyone perhaps by any chance still have this Rom's file? If so can someone post a mirror or something? Thanx

Yeah, you have to with all the Sense Espresso roms lol. Did you not know that, Daniel? Check one of Miguel's threads [ie first post of his threads] for more info.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
this rom has the apn already entered just make sure you select the right one. at least on mine they were already there
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
OK try this rom this is an actual complete rom soooo just replace boot.img yada yada yada you know the drill :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
O_O could you extract just the boot.img and link me up... it takes like an hour or something for me to download that (cheap internet connection :o)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Its not the boot image I replaced I just added a file to the init folder! Its a mount sd file you could try pulling one from cm rom and adding it to the init folder in the 3rd sense rom flash and see of that works
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
damn... ok will do... what is it called? 05mountsd or something right?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Yup

If that doesn't work I will check on it some more tomorrow or actually later today on my coast LOL
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Is that an Espresso rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
ok man, im flashing now... im gonna try some other stuff as well... see ya around tomorrow :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Yea but its just this rom I'm trying to see if I can get it to recognize the ext partition! Use the boot.img a few posts back and use the a2ext addon located in my other thread and hopefully you can have a2ext
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
Thanks ace! Lemme try this on and see how it is. lol.

EDIT: upon sh a2sd reinstall, it says SD card not mounted.

on a2sd check: it says EXT partition found but not mounted...

yep, thats what im getting as well... what a shame, ill have to go back to liberated slide untill apps2ext is working :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Few questions about this rom:

Does "?" button work?

Does "SYM" key work?

Does Prox Sensor work?

Any random FCs?

I'm thinking about flashing this, so yeah...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
For the first 2, it does not (as listed in the 1st post)

No FC's. Proximity sensor should work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
In this rom the maker defaulted the G button to Search. Titanium works fine, restored about 26 apps yesterday.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Could the buttons get remapped in the near future? It's not that much of a problem, since Sense pwns anyway. But yeah, apps 2ext isn't that much of a big deal to me, since I use Titanium. Have you guys used Titanium yet?

EDIT: Does the Genius button act as a Search button in this rom? If not, then could you push this onto the rom as an update? Thanks.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Flashing now. Wish me luck! :D

EDIT1: Here's what I flashed on top of it, for hopeful optimization:

1.) Latest gapps

2.) 825 Kernel

I'll get back to you when it's done booting and after I've played around with it...

EDIT2: MAN this thing flies like an eagle. Market randomly FC'd a few times at the beginning, but it might have been because I was moving incredibly fast while it was trying to load everything up. No lag right now on the home screen with Nexus Live Wallpaper while I'm batch restoring all my apps&data on Titanium [which normally causes phone to lag substantially]. And I still need to configure SetCPU lol. This could very well be my Daily Driver. Let's see how well this baby holds up...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
Ok, few things about this rom that I need clarification on, since I'm a little confused:

1.) Is the latest gapps already on this baby? Because I think I flashed it again, eating up a LOT of memory.

2.) Market is still FCing randomly, and it's really annoying the heck out of me. It might be because I flashed gapps when I really didn't need to. Idk what's causing it...
