A few things. The technical term for 3G is HSDPA. So on European Roms, it says H, as opposed to 3G. Nothing to be worried about, just multiple terms. The H also applies to HSDPA+, if your phone has access to it. Us Slide users don't--wrong radio.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Thanks for clearin' that up!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] F0rgiven:
I ended up going back to CM6 RC3. If you can fix it, you are an amazing man. I look forward to your progress.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
No, HSPA (a.k.a HSDPA) is an expansion of the 3G network, it's a slight speed boost. It doesn't cost extra, it's automatically used when available. When you pay for any data plan, you get full service, from GPRS to HSPA+. The only time you get extra data costs is if you don't have an unlimited plan and you go over, but you're unlimited so you'll be fine. I don't even think there is a way to disable HSPA haha. In the stock roms it doesn't even tell you the difference between 3G and HSPA, I only started seeing that in cyanogenmod.

Also I agree with you, when you leave sense roms, you lose certain features.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Actually the technical term is WCDMA. HSPA was an expansion/addition to the existing 3G network that was intended to boost speed. HSPA+ is where the real boost is at, but at the moment only the g2 and the my4g have it. But HSPA is still a good little boost.

Sorry for the double post, XDA app can be a pain in the ass sometimes haha

Whats funny about the slide is that I just got it a couple months ago even though I knew it had been outdated. I love the fact that people have put effort into keeping this alive. I am currently installing this version to play with it. I rooted my phone probably 2 days after I received it and have been flashing this thing almost everyday lol

There are a few flaws with each firmware and Cyanogen's firmware doesnt have flash, bluetooth with my jawbone doesnt work, and tikl needs to be programmed too often for it to function with the phone number after every single reboot. All these factors are not his teams fault but limiting factors that HTC will not allow them to get certain code or programming for.

With that being said this is a great way for us to get all the functions we want without losing good features of the phone.

Well my install just finished so about to play with it and see what I can see.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dirtymindedx:
I created the EXT2 partition and for some reason it still won't save applications to the sdcard. I see the option to move the application to SD but it is greyed out and not highlighted. How do you activate it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gabrialxue:
Has anyone managed to fix all the different application crashes yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Like what?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gabrialxue:
Well for one, I can't use the browser for more than 5 seconds. A few other apps close randomly as well too, but the browser seems to be the biggest problem. It's the one detail keeping me from making this rom my daily driver.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Did you bother reading through the thread at all?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gabrialxue:
I did read through a good number of pages however, I figured it would be easier if someone could help me out by pointing me in the right direction please

I do not intend to be a hassle or a nuisance, I just wanted to get some help, I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
There is a fix for it. It actually fixes pretty much everything. Don't worry about thanking me later.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gabrialxue:
Really? Thank you very much sir, could you help me find the fix please?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
just disable javascrpit in the browser.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Go in the browser, and quickly get into Settings before it force closes. Disable javascript and it should work fine from there.

Or, you can use a different browser like Opera.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gabrialxue:
Yes I figured that out shortly after with a little experimentation. Thank you anyway!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
It's such a shame, 9.89 MFLOPS with this rom (4.8 with the 2.1 espresso that came with the phone) yet it's useless to most of us. I wish I was up to the level required to pitch in. I did a little research on fixing the ? and sym buttons, but the buttons are already mapped correctly in the latte keylayout so I'm not at a loss there. I also tried replacing some libs from some other roms with working JS (they were hard to find!) to no avail.

Such a shame :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrogulja:
I would disagree with you. This ROM is fully capable of being your daily driver. The key problem is a small hassle, but you can use screen keyboard for punching in the ? sign.

On the other hand, I figured out that if you disable java, and then enable it after loading the first page, everything works just fine, until you shut down or restart the phone. And if you dont do that very often, it is a small price to pay for having a smooth running rom.

So not that bad after all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Is this true folks? I've been holding off on flashing this ROM because java script is important to me. This work around, if it works as described, would be a perfectly acceptable option for me. I have never heard of this work around so please excuse any redundancy in my questioning. Thanks for any additional insight.

myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Just tried it. Seems to be working as said. No problems and no closing so far. I really needed to use the internet at times and couldn't, so I didn't know how long I was going to keep this rom. I like this rom a lot, though.

This is my favorite rom. If this is all it takes to keep using javascript, I'll keep it with no worries (until more updates!)

I would love another update.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gabrialxue:
Quick question, is this rom de-odexed?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
one of the releases was deodexed but he re-odexed it for a faster boot up and more stability. to sum up... no its not deodexed :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gabrialxue:
Okay, thanks. Also that javascript fix (Turn off, wait for page to load, turn on) doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe it is just me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drzknight87:
thanks bro lets try your creation
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mr.johnsexydavis911:
The thing is that the javascript doesn't work for some web pages, such as google, which is why it you disable when you first opened the browser it works. Just change you homepage to something else, or just disable it.

Anyone got a mirror? I can't download from Google Docs
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] perknite:
Is there a way to change the default search engine in default browser or Dolphin? One can certainly avoid the Google js crash when performing a search. The only site my browsers crash on is

Google.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Got the download to work and all I got to say is...

WOW!

The only 2.2 Sense ROM I used before was on my 32B Magic and that was SO slow.

I tried this expecting the same thing and I was blown away at the speed. So far no slow downs. I also ran LWP and it worked great. My quadrant was 1102 OC'ed to 806 mhz.

Only thing left to fix is the keyboard and the java in the browser. Maybe tweak the speed and make battery life a little better/

Looking forward to updates
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
I tried to use the Font Changer app, when opened the app said that "Write access to the system partition was not stablished on your device" I rooted with the guide as on October after the OTA update, I thought I had gained full Root, but the app says that I don't.

Also tried the Animation Boot Changer app long ago on SlideMERoot 5 and it worked, but I couldn't do it in Miguel's Gratious Slide neighter in this Rom.

Is it that these Roms don't support system partition write?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] perknite:
Try Opera browser. I've had no issues with the sites the other browsers crash on (esp. default home page).

I hope there are updates to come as well. I've settled on it and think its a great rom!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
the op is away at the moment so no work is being done. should be back soon but until there is a .32 kernel available for the slide i dont think there is really much that can be done to fix the javascript issue. last ive seen was cyanogen was working on porting it and there were some kinks left to work out but that was a week or 2 ago and since then i havent seen anything. only other way to get it would be for t-mobile to finally release the froyo update for the slide which wont be any time soon (which is crazy seeing as gingerbread is now moving to AOSP and froyo is becoming old news)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
If you want to install a new app, flash a font .zip file through clockwork mod or whatever you use to flash new roms of whatever.

I can try and let you know.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] perknite:
I've been using Opera Mobile for the past few days now. I've not run into a single website that crashes my browser, and I seem to have all of the website function that javascript affords me.

I like this rom a lot. I find myself going back to cm after i try out a new rom, but this one makes me want to stick with it. great job man

a few things to consider with future updates. different touch input would be useful. I don't mind the touchpad included in this rom, but i like the one in cm better.

I like this rom alot i just wish java script worked in the browser thats the only thing holding me back from reflashing if it work in skyfire i would flash now does anyone know if it works cause last month i tried i dont remember if it work or not
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] andrewiz2kewl:
dalvik-cache moved automatically or not?

Is dalvik-cache moved to the sd-ext automatically or do we need to do that in the terminal like...

Once the add-on has been flashed and there aren't any problems there are a few ways to enable actual a2ext.

You can either use adb or a terminal app on your phone.

If using adb phone can be turned on or in recover with system mounted.

once you pick a way here are the commands:

(if using a terminal app skip steps 1, 2, 5, 6)

1. ./adb remount (windows: adb remount)

2. ./adb shell (windows: adb shell)

Su will be needed for terminal app and may be needed for adb method(just do it in case its needed)

3. cd /system/bin/

4. sh a2sd reinstall

some things will popup and phone should reboot

5. once rebooted ./adb remount

6. ./adb shell

7. cd /system/bin/

8. sh a2sd cachesd

more things will popup and phone should reboot. The last reboot can take 5 minutes or longer especially if you already had apps downloaded. I know on a fresh install it can take what seems like ages.

I'm just wondering if the dalvik cache is moved to the EXT partition also when you flash the addon :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] televate:
So I went to flash the latest update for this rom, and I get an error that says:

"E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin/su (No such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 76: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/su

Installation aborted."

Now I haven't flashed any roms since I went through the alpharev S-OFF process, so I'm wondering if there are any settings I need to change in CM Recovery to alleviate any errors while flashing? I've disabled signature verification and script asserts, but that didn't prevent the errors. Do I need to remount in adb or something? If so, does anyone know the command to do so? Much appreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
could be a bad download. Just download the rom again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] televate:
yeah i've tried that a couple of times, same result. i'll just have to wait til i get home to try and troubleshoot the problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] perknite:
I'm glad to see this rom has not been forgotten! I'm using Cyanoginger and I like it... but I like 3rdSense as well! The only thing keeping me from flashing is the java script issue. I settled on Opera Mobile (not mini) and had zero issues on 3rdSense, but discovered the issue caused some non-browser apps to fail as well. I hope this can be resolved. It sounds like it will require the release of source *sigh*.

Quick question...

I'm in the 0.30 rom, and I don't have apps2ext yet, should i make a partition, flash the add-on then follow those commands, would that be all i need to do?

Daniel, Welcome back from Nicaragua! Bienbenido!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] andrewiz2kewl:
Uhm I'm not sure will the addon work on 0.30 rom because I think he changed something in the new 0.55 rom to make it compatible with the addon he pulled off another thread. You could try but idk what will its results will be when it boots right back up. Sorry :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dirtymindedx:
This is a great rom but lacks instruction. I see you say install your rom and install dtapps (app2sd application) but no instruction on how to activate it. I am following other posts and still can't move apps 2 sd. Wish this was somehow integrated and gave you some options like cyanogenmods do. guess beggers can't be choosers. Other than that it looks promising. I am currently using reloaded v1 or something to get me by now since app2sd is working flawlessly on that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Apps2sd in this rom is meant as apps2ext not the standard froyo apps2FAT32 which is also an option but has to be done either individual app basis or one of the moving apps in the market... apps2ext is better because you use no internal memory at all
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Then I guess I'll flash the update to .55 and then go from there, is there a recommended size for the partition for Apps2Ext? I hope it can be well done with rom manager, or I'll use GParted...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] andrewiz2kewl:
Uhm well I'm using the addon on CM 6.1.1 with EXT3 partitioned. The partition size I think it doesnt matter since I have about 1.2 gb partitioned in my mini sd. I would say go around 500mb-600mb unless you dont have like over 200 apps maybe 500mb. I've never used rom manager to partition my sd card, but you could try. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Thanks for the quick reply! I feel like trying it now, I do like to have over 200 apps :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Okay, I tried to make a 600Mb partition using Gparted, and it seems it did unallocated those Mbs, but right at the end of the process it showed there was an error.

Gparted won't recognize my sd card no more, even after restar of both PC and phone.

Thank God Sd card is ok.

I didn't have my SD card adapter so I used the USB mode.

I also noticed before partitioning there was a 4Gb unallocated space before the fat32, weird... I left it alone.

Of course I made the 600Mb from free memory in Fat32.

Now what, I just need to format a Ext3 out of that unallocated 600Mb space, what can I use? I don't know if Rom manager is good, or should I do it with Clockwork recovery? Thanks for the help! It's really appreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Clockwork cant create ext3, that feature is in Amon_Ra. Try using rom manager, I dont have any partitions on my sd so i dont know if that method works. I use mtd to get the most space.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dirtymindedx:
OK I guess I need a clearer statement.

Please assist with this:

1. How do I format the new partition on the sdcard? (in the past I let the ROM manager partition the sdcard)

2. After I do a clean install of this ROM and then install the dtapps application what steps are needed to do the activate it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Ok, today I tried Gparted, and it detected my sdcard, and I was able to make the Ext4 partition! :D

I think my problem was that I might have turned from USB mode to Charge Only before the process finished, because today I tried leaving it in USB mode, and so it worked :D

Now, I believe I must follow those commands which are a few posts abobe, and flash the add-on, I'm guessing the commands are first?

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Remember to use the command su when you are using a terminal app, so you get to do those commands with success.

I did it! O thanks God!

I went thru a whole odessy to partition my sd card and not damange it, and had to back up and format it because I messed it at some point.

Then I updated to .55 version of the rom, then flashed the add-on, then used the commands above, I made the mistake of not using the command: su (then enter) before anything. It messed some of my apps including the Market.

But I realized that was the problem, so I entered su then followed to type those corresponding commands in a terminal app, and now Apps2Ext woooorrrrks and I got back the lost apps, like the Market!

Thanks everyone for the contribution and help! :)

That app came with the rom as it was ported from another phone, which is capable of listening to FM radio, but the Slide is not. It has never worked with mine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
It may be possible since the hardware is pretty much the same, we just need drivers for the fm chip (hopefully there is 1)
